How to Choose a Personal Trainer
How To Choose A Personal Trainer In Exeter
A personal trainer is an exercise professional who helps people achieve their fitness goal. A personal trainer may work in fitness gyms, client homes, and through the internet. Apart from the basic personal trainer certifications, he or she may have a masters degree in a particular exercise system, and or specialize in a specific form of physical activity such as aerobic exercise, strength training, or flexibility workout.
The cost involved is usually the first thing to consider when hiring a personal trainer. However, finding the best personal trainer in Exeter is what can give you more value for every penny you are willing to spend. Working out is not always easy, and all the more is getting expected results. Thus you will need a personal trainer you will enjoy working out, and can give you what you need.
Why do You Need the Best Personal Trainer in Exeter
Even those who have been exercising for some time may see a need for the best personal trainer in Exeter. Exercising on your own may not be a good experience especially when you are not very familiar with various routines. Some forms of exercises can cause injury when not executed properly, thus you will need someone who can show you the way. Listed below are some more reasons why you should hire a personal trainer.
- You are not seeing any improvement. If you have been working out for several months but not seeing any result, you may need to consider hiring a personal trainer. A personal trainer can design a fitness program specific to your physiology and preferences. He or she can also give advice about your eating habits.
- You need encouragement. The best personal trainer in Exeter will ask about your fitness goals, tell you honestly if they are realistic, and plan how to attain them. A personal trainer will motivate you to stick to your fitness program, and to focus your attention to the prize. If you have a personal trainer, you will be compelled to exercise even if you dont feel like it.
- You have a health condition. If you have a specific illness or injury, a personal trainer will tell you the form of exercise that is right for you. He or she will educate you about how to maximize your effort without jeopardizing your health.
- You are training for an event. If you are training to participate in a sport or an event such as modelling, beauty pageant, or a physique and bodybuilding contest, you may need a personal trainer to efficiently get the look you desire.
- You are bored with your old routines. It can be hard to keep on if the routines are not fun anymore. The best personal trainer in Exeter can always come up with new exercises that do not only suit your needs, but also get you fired up.
How to Know if You Hired the Best Personal Trainer in Exeter
A personal trainer is an investment, so be thorough with your decision. Choose a personal trainer that is certified by an academic program, school, or university accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). Ask about his or experience, and how long the personal trainer has been practicing. Get a list of references of his or her previous and present clients to evaluate the personal trainers reputation. And most of all, you should be comfortable with the personal trainer, and that he or she has the personality that you think you will not get awkward with.
How to Find the Best Personal Trainer in Exeter
It is easy to search the web for a list of personal trainer in your area. But you are not likely to see the real deal if you will not do the leg work. Below are a few ways to find the best personal trainer in Exeter.
- Local gym or fitness centre. When applying for membership in a gym or fitness centre, the staff will usually ask if you would like to have a personal trainer. You cannot know which one is right for you by just looking at their names. Ask questions and request to meet each personal trainer they recommend.
- Fitness experts. You can get information from the staff in your favourite fitness store and your doctor or nutritionist. They can also give suggest a fitness centre that you might like.
- Observation. Do not base your decision solely on words of mouth. Observe how the personal trainers on your list work with other clients to get a feel of their style.

I find it interesting that those who are quick to protect their right to free speech are just as quick to deny others the right to protest. It's like they didn't get past the first half of the first amendment.

Indirect water heaters are the most efficient and reliable. Now you’re probably wondering what an indirect water heater is and how it works.

Indianapolis Plumber: Water Heater Types.Posted by Chad Peterman on Monday, September 10, 2012
Here in Indianapolis, our household plumbing is of utmost concern; however, we would probably rather not think about it. As long as there isn’t water on the floor and the water is hot, we are just fine. When it comes to heating the water in our home, there are a number of different ways this can be accomplished. In most places, fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil are used for water heater power sources. The fuel may be consumed directly or through electricity. There are alternative ways to heat water, such as the use of solar energy, hot water heat recycling, geothermal heating and heat pumps. These alternate sources are usually used in conjunction with a backup system that uses gas, oil, or electricity. | http://www.petermanhvac.com/category-water-heater.html | 2013-05-18T10:32:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Welcome to the Zoo
Welcome to PetGet.com, my personal site launched in 2002. Here you can find information about my whippets, care and species information on tarantulas and care and breeding information on monitor lizards. I no longer keep or breed monitors and my tarantula collection is down to a few spiders.
I live in Northern Florida with my husband, Mark. We moved here in 2008 from Northern VA. We currently share our home with Lemmy (whippet), Raven (ocicat), Willy (greek tortoise) and 5 tarantulas. We love Florida's mild winters and it makes up (almost) for the brutal summers. Having a pool helps, especially on those days its too hot to run outside. We can just hop in the pool and throw the dogs in too.
About Me
I am a hobbyist with a degree in biology and experience as a vet tech. I graduated from Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!) with a BS in Biology and minor in Chemistry. I love animals and have owned many different reptiles and pocket pets. I also volunteered in Wildlife Rehab and particularly enjoyed raising orphaned opossums. I worked in various jobs over the years, I started as the web developer for a financial firm then left to develop AcmePet.com's website and community, which was then bought out by Petsmart.com. I ran Petsmart.com's community for about a year then ended up at AOL leading the Women's and Food Communities. I've worked for Lithium Technologies since Oct 2008, starting in Community Management and Moderation and now as a Techical Consultant doing front-end engineeering. I am very lucky to work with a great group of people, and that unlike many people, I truly love my job!

Milo’s Kitchen, a manufacturer and distributor of dog treats, has issued a voluntary recall for two of its home-style dog treats due to trace amounts of antibiotics.
The recalled treats, which were sold nationally, include:
- Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky
- Chicken Grillers
According to a Milo’s Kitchen press release, the New York State Department of Agriculture found trace amounts of residual antibiotics in several lots of Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky. The use of antibiotics by food production companies is a standard practice to keep chickens healthy and disease-free while raising them, but should not be present in the final food product.
After a careful review with the New York Department of Agriculture and the FDA, Milo’s Kitchen decided to recall both Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers because they are sourced from the same chicken suppliers. The recalled products are not known to pose any health risk.
Consumers who purchased the recalled treats are eligible for a full refund. For more information, please contact Milo’s Kitchen at 1-877-228-6493. | http://www.petmd.com/print/29675 | 2013-05-18T10:15:41 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

There was little reaction — neither from the defendant nor the small crowd in attendance — in 90th District Court Wednesday when Judge James N. Erhart announced that Carol Kopenkoskey will be bound over for two felony charges relating to the murder of her husband, Lyle.
"As far as the crimes committed, there's sufficient probable cause," said Erhart. "There is a legal standard to that and the court finds that the legal standard has been met."
Carl Kopenkoskey, Lyle's brother, was among family members who declined extended comment after Erhart's decision.
"The family just wants to make sure justice is done ... this has all been hard to even put into words," he stated.
Lyle Kopenkoskey was found shot multiple times near his abandoned pickup on Kiebel Road in Resort Township early on Oct. 3. His widow was charged with first-degree murder and using a firearm in committing a felony on Jan. 2, remaining jailed until being released on bond with restrictions on Jan. 22.
Defense attorney Mary Beth Kur was not surprised with the case's latest turn, taking place during a brief 10-minute hearing.
"I am disappointed in the decision, but it was not unexpected," she stated afterward. "The reason I say that is the threshold the prosecutor has to meet for a bind over is so low — it's the lowest burden of proof in our system ... probable cause."
Emmet County prosecutor James Linderman stated simply "I'm happy with the fact that the court bound the case over."
Wednesday's hearing was just a conclusion to the preliminary hearing, which had Linderman and then-chief assistant prosecutor Duane Beach calling 14 law enforcement officials and witnesses to the stand over two days of testimony on Jan. 14 and 21. Kur elected to not call any witnesses, including Carol Kopenkoskey.
After lengthy questioning of Det. Sgt. J.L. Sumpter of the Emmet County Sheriff's Office on Jan. 21 to close the state's preliminary case, Linderman requested that closing arguments be submitted in writing. Erhart agreed, but following two prior denied requests for bond by Kur and facing more time until arguments were submitted, he granted a $500,000/10-percent bond with restrictions, such as being barred from leaving Emmet County and must be in her Townsend Road residence between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. daily.
"I was very appreciative that the court allowed us to make the argument with the written pleading because there was a lot of evidence to go over and the four transcripts," stated Linderman on Wednesday. "We wanted to get all that together."
Erhart complimented both attorneys with their submitted arguments that were due by Feb. 4, as he called each "extremely well done, no small task considering the matter at hand."
Kopenkoskey remained out on bond following Wednesday's hearing.
According to Kur, a scheduling conference is expected within the next few days and a trial date likely to be scheduled within the next two weeks.
"I'm fairly confident that a jury would have significant reasons to doubt (the state's case) and Carol looks forward to having her day in court," predicted Kur.

Who's the Biggest Dog?Published August 19, 2010
There is a lot of mystery and internet rumors around who really is the world's LARGEST dog. Three impressive English Mastiffs are vying for the title but none are confirmed on at this time. It seems that Hercules, an English Mastiff from Massachusetts, might have been the official heaviest dog in 2001, weighing in at 270 pounds. Another contender for the heaviest dog title was Zorba, yet another English Mastiff. He resided in the United Kingdom and is claimed to be a whopping 343 pounds and measured 8 feet from nose to tail, clearly blowing Hercules away! There is a third dog, named Kell, also from the UK (what do they put in the water over there?) that was reported being the largest dog in 1999 by BBC news Kell was about 286 pounds. The Mastiff tends to be the heaviest of all dog breeds. The AKC description does not specify a weight range, but they generally tend to be 140-160 pounds! They are followed closely by the Neapolitan Mastiffs, who average around 150 pounds. That's a lot of kibble to feed! Out of all the dog breeds recognized by the AKC, Irish Wolfhounds are statistically the tallest - measuring in taller than 30 inches for females and 32 inches for males. While there is no clear winner for the World's Heaviest Dog title, the official Tallest Dog spot is currently held by a Great Dane named Giant George. Giant George was named the World's Tallest Dog by the Guinness World Records in February of 2010. He towers over other canines at an astounding 7 feet and 3 inches! Dogs this big need the world's biggest treat, don't they? In October of 2009, the Canine Cookie Company baked a Scooby Snack fit for these gentle giants and earned themselves a spot in the Guinness World Record book. This biscuit measures 11 feet by 4 feet and weighs 231 pounds! Snack on that!

As a small animal practitioner one question I am frequently asked is “ How do I get my dog to stop barking?” A better question would be: “ Are there any natural methods to prevent my dog from barking excessively?” All dogs should bark. It is their job to let you know when someone strange is in the house or yard, however, continuous barking can be an annoyance to the pet owner if it occurs at night or to the neighbours if it occurs when the owner is gone.
It is important to recognize why dogs bark. In some cases, excessive barking can indicate restlessness or boredom in the dog. Sometimes the dog is lonely and lacks human company. Dogs will also bark if they are hungry, thirsty or have to go to the bathroom! Medical conditions can cause excess barking. Some breeds of dogs bark more than others. There are breeds, like the Basenji, that hardly bark at all.
Behavioural training is the first thing to do if your dog has this bad habit. Make sure the dog has plenty of attention and exercise as a well exercised dog will sleep through the night and only bark if there is a problem. It is a good way of getting rid of “nervous energy” that the dog may have. A dog with a barking problem should be taught to start and stop barking on command. He should be taught who are regular visitors and what sounds he can expect from his environment. This can usually be done with the use of positive reinforcement such as clicker training and rewards. A dog trainer can help you with this.
Socializing the dog can also help with barking. Taking your dog to the dog park and new places helps him get a mental work out and help make him less fearful of new situations and people. Avoid barking “cues” If you know what triggers your dog to bark, try to break the behavioural cycle by associating the event with something positive or distracting him from the cue.
Citronella barking collars can be used if the above methods do not work. The dog’s barking triggers a gentle spray of citronella which interrupts the barking. The dog soon learns not bark when wearing the collar. Eventually the collar can be removed when the dog learns not to bark.
Excess barking can be annoying but it is a habit that can broken with some time and attention. | http://www.petwellbeing.com/blog/barking-dogs | 2013-05-18T10:21:26 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The Senior Bowl Daily Report: Inside The South Practice 1-21
Written by
Pewter
Report Staff
WR Quinton Patton excelled on Monday in Mobile
Which South squad quarterback got off to a quick start impressing scouts and fans on Monday? Can a player who has only two years total of football be drafted in the first round? Which offensive lineman dominated his opponents in 1-on-1's ? Find out in this Senior Bowl Report brought to you by the Theater Doctor.
The South team took to the practice field at Fairhope High School in Fairhope, Ala. to kick off Senior Bowl week. The South squad, which was coached by Jim Schwartz and the Detroit Lions staff, was dressed in helmets, jerseys and shorts, and there was quite a bit of contact despite not being in pads. Temperatures were in the low 60s and skies were sunny and all 32 NFL teams were represented, along with a large media and agent contingency. Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban made his annual Monday appearance and as expected drew a huge crowd. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was also in attendance to watch his former players who were part of the South squad.
The Buccaneers had general manager Mark Dominik, director of player personnel Dennis Hickey and director of college scouting Eric Stokes in attendance for close to half the practice before heading over to the North practice at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
Georgia cornerback Sanders Commings dropped a couple of balls in individual work with the defensive backs and continued to fight the ball all afternoon. Another player that struggled holding on to the ball in the individual period was Georgia Southern safety J.J. Wilcox.
San Diego State’s Leon McFadden isn’t big at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, but he’s smooth in and out of his breaks and catches the football effortlessly. He changes direction with ease and that allows him to play tight man coverage.
Southeastern Louisiana cornerback Robert Alford, who stands 6-foot, 185 pounds, looked real smooth going up against bigger and better competition. Alford looks like he belongs at the Senior Bowl.
Cal cornerback Marc Anthony is 6-feet and has long legs. He plays too high and needs to do a better job of sinking his hips in his backpedal and when he breaks on the ball.
Florida State defensive lineman Everett Dawkins is big and strong and showed decent agility when going through the bag drills.
BYU defensive end Ezekial Ansah doesn’t look as big as his 6-foot-5, 270-pound frame would indicate. He was not smooth at the start of the defensive linemen bag drills, but he got noticeably better with each rep and displayed good agility despite not having great technique. He needs to do a better job of bending his knees and widening his base.
Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins is huge at 6-foot-3, 358 pounds, but was really slow going through the bag drills. Jenkins has great strength and swatted the bags away easily, but doesn’t have quick feet.
Clemson defensive end Malliciah Goodman has a good frame at 6-foot-4, 270 pounds, but looked clumsy and awkward going through the bag drills with the defensive linemen.
In the 1-on-1 drills Georgia wide receiver Tavarres King started things off with a nice catch on Georgia safety Bacarri Rambo, who struggled on Monday.
Baylor wide receiver Terrence Williams made a great diving catch on his back on a rainbow of a pass from Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones against Alford, who had tight coverage.
McFadden also had blanket coverage on Duke wide receiver Conner Vernon on one play that resulted in an incompletion. Vernon had an early drop, but bounced back later with a nice play on McFadden on which the DB tipped the ball away, but Vernon caught the carom and hauled it in before turning up field.
McFadden made a great, leaping one-handed pick when King slipped down while running an out route. McFadden tipped the pass from E.J. Manuel to himself and made the interception right before he stepped out of bounds.
He would have been an ideal fit in Tampa Bay in Monte Kiffin’s old Tampa 2 defense as his play is reminiscent of that of former Bucs cornerback Donnie Abraham. However, with the arrival of new director of college scouting Eric Stokes, the Bucs may be gravitating towards bigger cornerbacks like he had in Seattle in Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman.
Manuel showed off his strong arm in Mobile, but his throws were a little high and away from his receivers. Manuel was not nearly as accurate as Jones was as a passer and he also didn’t show as much anticipation with his release. Jones was superior in that category, too, with better anticipation than even Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson on Monday.
Southern Miss linebacker Jamie Collins had an impressive jam on Florida running back Mike Gillislee, who did a good job of recovering after being knocked down and catching the ball.
Anthony had solid coverage on Arkansas receiver Cobi Hamilton and broke up a pass from Wilson to his college teammate.
Alabama tight end Michael Williams is huge at 6-foot-5, 272 pounds, and while he is slow and lumbering, he somehow freed himself up from Wilcox to make a nice catch across the middle. However, he did struggle to get separation throughout the rest of practice.
Rice tight end Vance McDonald turned Rambo around in coverage and made a nice catch. However, he did have a drop while being covered by Alabama linebacker Nico Johnson.
Texas A&M wide receiver Ryan Swope had a couple of dropped passes on Monday and may have been the most disappointing receiver on Monday for the South.
Louisiana Tech wide receiver Quinton Patton has good size at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds and is a smooth wide receiver. He can create separation by being physical and warding cornerbacks away once he gets off the line. Patton does a nice job of getting open and presenting himself as a target for the South quarterbacks.
On the last play of 1-on-1’s, Alford made a great pass breakup on a deep pass to Terrence Williams, who almost made the catch while falling down on his back. The competitive Alford swatted at the ball three times while falling to the ground before knocking it out of Williams’ hands.
After the 1-on-1 drills, the South went into 7-on-7 drills. McDonald got open and made a nice catch down the middle on a pass from Jones to start the session.
McFadden had a nice pass breakup on a slant intended for Terrence Williams. McFadden has good instincts, diagnoses the play quickly and does a nice job of breaking on the ball.
Patton had a nice catch on a quick pass from Manuel and turned up the field for extra yards.
Stanford linebacker Chase Thomas read Manuel’s eyes on the next play and jumped up to swat down a pass across the middle.
In 11-on-11’s, Patton started things off by making a great catch on an intermediate throw by Jones. The Oklahoma quarterback does a great job of throwing on the run and the Detroit coaching staff had him do several designed rollouts during the practice, which showcased his mobility and accuracy on the move.
Patton also showed some great concentration and awareness as he caught a ball that wasn’t intended for him, but one that bounced off the hands of Hamilton, who was five yards in front of him.
Jenkins used his size to effectively bull rush the middle of the South line and push the pocket on a couple of occasions. The other defensive lineman that stood out during the 11-on-11’s was Ansah, who showed great power on one play by using a two-handed punch to jolt McDonald to the ground on his butt.
Ansah also made a nice play at the line of scrimmage by anticipating a throw by Jones and getting his hands up to swat it down for an incompletion. But Ansah had trouble with Oklahoma right tackle Lane Johnson, who was the most impressive lineman during the South practice on Monday.
Johnson did a great job of shielding Ansah away from the quarterbacks, although he did overextend a bit on South Florida defensive tackle Corey Grissom. The 6-foot-6, 303-pound Johnson is long and lean, but muscular. He’s athletic and has a very good knee bend that allows him to play low with a wide base.
Despite having only played football for two years, Ansah has a ton of raw athletic ability and he hustles. He is always giving 100 percent effort on every play and does a nice pursuing whether it is to the play side or the back side.
Georgia defensive end Cornelius Washington has good size at 6-foot-4, 268 pounds and was getting pressure rushing from the right side of the line.
Wilson is definitely the smallest quarterback on the South roster as he’s listed at 6-foot-2, 218 pounds. He was picked off by Wilcox towards the end of practice and didn’t make a strong impression on the first day of Senior Bowl week.
Early in practice after working on individual drills, the offensive line and defensive lines met in 1-on-1 drills in the north end zone. Practicing in just helmets without pads, it was hard to get a true assessment of the players but scouts and media members formed a large circle to get an idea of players “get off” and footwork.
The Detroit Lions coaching staff is in charge of the South team this week in Mobile and defensive line coach Kris Kocurek stayed on his players the entire day. Kocurek’s style was most likely a huge change from most of these players, as Kocurek had no problem ripping his players for even minor mistakes. Intense wouldn’t be strong enough adjective to describe Kocurek’s demeanor.
Initially the defensive line got the best of the offense, whipping the unpadded linemen with quick outside speed moves and strong bull rushes. BYU’s Ezekial Ansah was very impressive for the majority of his reps. Ansah is raw but loaded with upside and potential, and showed it off to the large number of scouts who were watching the matchups.
Another player who stood out was Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins showed his strength and power getting great push and collapsing the guard or center back into the mark established as the QB. Jenkins told PewterReport.com on Monday that he looks up to Patriots DT Vince Wilfork. Jenkins says Wilfork does things that a guy of his size shouldn’t be able to do, and on Monday he may have created that thought in some of the NFL personnel in attendance.
The offensive linemen finally got it together about halfway through the drill and it all started with Oklahoma Lane Johnson. The Sooner tackle stonewalled Clemson’s Mallich Goodman in one of his mini-battles, and was perhaps the most dominant lineman for the South squad on Monday. Johnson is a flexible tackle who played both the left and right side, sometimes on alternating series this season. The ability to play both sides most certainly is an intangible that scouts love.
The South team will be back on the practice field on Tuesday morning and Pewter Report will have a detailed report on who looked good and who struggled later in the day.

As I look at this that DT John Jenkins from Ga-Is he a NO#1 pick-could Tampa slide down in the first rd pick Jenkins and add a 2nd and a 3 or 4th round pick and pickup a QB with a 2 nd 3rd rd pick and a premium cb in Rd-2 and maybe a second CB with a 2nd pick in Rd-2. I think Tampa would be in a perfect spot to pick up a 2 and a 3 rd extra's pick. Let see what the draft and Tampa will do in April 2013-Go Bucs.

Is it safe to say that our 1st round selection will not come from this group but more likely our 2nd round and later? Is there even a cornerback worthy of being the 13th pick this year? Aqib Talib is now a free agent. Perhaps Dominik can convince old # 25 to return and CB won't be such a high priority (except those games when his hamstring hurts or he's suspended). 23, 2013

Frequently Asked Questions: Supply and Demand Forecast and OFOs
The pipeline inventory forecast in Pipe Ranger sometimes changes quite abruptly. This makes morning Citygate trading difficult. Why are changes so significant, especially during this critical time?
As surely as weather drives energy demand, weather forecasts drive gas demand forecasts, and CGT's supply and demand forecast is no exception. While CGT uses the most up-to-date information available for all its plans, CGT cannot obtain the day's new weather forecasts, among the most significant drivers of forecast demand, any earlier. The first forecast of the day incorporates fresh, robust input that often results in dramatic changes to the supply and demand forecast.
Since energy is an inherently volatile commodity, the supply and demand forecast can be similarly {volatile}. Large swings in supply and demand are to be expected from time to time.
CGT's Senior Transmission Coordinators update the pipeline inventory forecast five times per day. Plan 5 is typically posted at 5:30 a.m., Pacific time, and plan 1, the first plan of the next day, by 7:45 a.m. Because many of the forecast's biggest drivers are simply not available prior to plan 1, the difference between these two forecasts can be substantial.
Plan 1 incorporates a huge amount of new information not available before 7 a.m., Pacific Time. This information includes:
- New temperature and weather forecasts
- Output from CGT's demand forecast models
- Actual sendout volumes from the previous gas day
- Demand forecasts from electric generators
- Supply and demand forecasts from third party storage providers
- Supply information from interconnecting pipelines
OFOs take a while to post. Can't these decisions be made any quicker? Trading is done before they get posted.
As described in the prior answer, CGT must wait for critical weather, supply, demand and generation data before having a reliable forecast on which OFO decisions can be made. CGT strives to provide this data as early as possible, and normally provides OFO notice before 7:30 a.m.
Also, the OFO Settlement states:
PG&E will continue its current practice of determining the need for and issuing of an OFO by 7:30 a.m. on the day before the Gas Day, or as soon as possible thereafter. This practice is intended to allow parties whose imbalances exceed the OFO tolerance band to use all four nomination cycles.
Sometimes, the next Gas Day's inventory forecast goes into the red, but CGT does not call an OFO. Why not?
As stated in the OFO Settlement, Paragraph C.2.e:
PG&&E may elect not to issue an OFO for a Gas Day if the forecast of pipeline inventory for the day following that Gas Day indicates the pipeline inventory will return to within the Pipeline Inventory Limits without the assistance of an OFO.
If the supply and demand forecast released at about 7:30 a.m. indicates that pipeline inventory for the next day will exceed limits and will not recover the following day, CGT will always issue an OFO.
How are the OFO tolerances calculated and what exactly do they mean?
When an OFO is required, CGT calculates how much additional (or less, in the low inventory case) inventory the pipeline could absorb to remain within operating limits. CGT chooses a tolerance band that will return inventory to within operating limits.
During an OFO, each balancing entity's supply must remain within the percentage of usage defined by the tolerance band in order to avoid noncompliance charges. For example, during a high inventory OFO with a ten percent tolerance band, supply may not exceed usage by more than ten percent.
Tolerance bands apply only to overdeliveries during high inventory OFOs and underdeliveries during low inventory OFOs. In the example of a high inventory OFO, usage may exceed supply by more than ten percent without incurring noncompliance charges.
How does CGT calculate OFO noncompliance charges?
Section 2.c of the OFO Settlement describes the relationship between OFO stages, tolerance bands, and noncompliance charges.
When an OFO is required, CGT refers to real-time market pricing data to determine a noncompliance charge. The charge must be sufficient to give customers incentive to balance their loads without being onerous. CGT reviews customer response to each OFO, comparing the tolerance band and noncompliance charge to the response.
CGT recently issued its morning plan 1 showing no OFO, but shortly thereafter revised it calling an OFO. Why did CGT toy with the market like this?
CGT strives to make an OFO determination by 7:30 a.m. and issue plan 1 by 7:45 a.m. the day prior to the gas day. However, Pacific Gas and Electric Company tariffs and the OFO Settlement allow CGT to call an OFO at any time, although noncompliance charges will not be imposed if notice is given after 6:00 p.m. the day prior to the OFO event.
CGT never toys with the market. As described above, each supply and demand forecast relies on a variety of weather, supply and demand inputs, nearly all of which CGT has no control over. On September 17, 2002, CGT received new information after 7:30 a.m. that revealed action would be necessary to protect pipeline integrity. In this uncommon situation, CGT chose to call an OFO immediately rather than wait for later in the day when it would be less effective and also risk the need for receipt point capacity allocations. | http://www.pge.com/pipeline/library/faqs/supdem.shtml | 2013-05-18T10:32:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Call for Artists…
This is Open Genre, Open Style, and it will cost you nothing… just remember the Pharoah…
I have been contacted by a locally owned Capitol Hill Cafe that needs new art for their Walls. Wall Space is FREE. They would like to get more “goth-scene” and “art” people in there.
From the Cafe: “Any cash made goes 100% to the artist in question. I’m open to all types of art, but it needs to be more or less family friendly. Oh, and people can smoke cigarettes in here, we don’t mind.”
For you my Artist Friends – Get with me as soon as possible to set up a meeting. Also, I will be looking at doing a small, intimate event there probably in Late February, so let’s talk people…]]>
So, I actually put a lot of thought into just finally saying fuck it – I’m done. I’ve lost thousands, and thousands of dollars doing this, and rarely get a remembrance for anything I’ve done… Over 200 shows, many art openings, national and international record label deals for bands… and that’s just the Cliff’s Notes version of what I have helped to accomplish… so yeah, I am fed up. I have done this since day one out of my own pocket… and there is no more pocket…
I am always the last to ‘get anything out of it,’ I’ve been screwed over many, many, many times… but I just can’t let it go yet… this last 2 years, I have been dealing with personal shit that was unexpected, so I let the fire dim… it has been beyond ridiculous, but you know what? I love music, I love art, and I love all of you…. so I can’t kill the Pharaoh quite yet… things will be happening in 2013 and I hope to see you all then and there…
Although in exile, the Pharaoh always retains his Kingdom… stay tuned…

Denver – This has been a great year for Gothic and Industrial Concerts in town, but it’s not over yet. PharoahMoan Productions and
Backwards Records are teaming up to bring what may be the perfect next step in a long line of shows. September 24th, Denver will be hosting the last date of the Viscerex Complex Tour at the Larimer Lounge.
Android Lust made their first appearance in Denver in 2005, and have made a point to visit us each time they tour. With the success of
their Denver stop on the Animalia Tour last year, they decided to pack an extra punch this time around with the addition of Co-Headliners Roughhausen.
Although a relatively new name to Denver fans, Roughhausen comes pre-stocked with a ton of Denver history and credentials in the Goth and Industrial Scenes. The band features Jeff Stoddard, most well known for his time spent with Industrial Legends Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly, as well as man, many other various musical projects.
“The combined fury of these co-headliners promises to make this one of the most enthralling tours of 2011,. – Brenton

Industrial sludge-rockers I, Parasite are joining the tour in support of their latest CD “The Sick are not Healing,” which features a guest appearance by Rob Caggiano of Anthrax on guitar.

Agency Information
City Trusts, Board of Directors of[Record group 146]
Agency Function
- The Board of Directors of City Trusts manages all money or other property left in trust to or with the City of Philadelphia and administers these trusts. Altogether the Board administers over 110 separate trusts, including the Stephen Girard Estate, which provides income to support Girard College, and the James Wills, Jr., fund for Wills Eye Hospital. The other trusts are for a wide variety of charitable purposes including the awarding of scholarships, medals and prizes to pupils of Philadelphia public schools; distribution of food and fuel to the poor; care of the sick and convalescent; and maintenance of Independence Hall and Penn Treaty Park.
- Agency History
- Created by an Act of Assembly of June 30, 1869 to exercise all of the duties, rights, and powers of the City concerning legacies for which it was designated trustee and succeeding to and consolidating the functions of the Directors of the Girard College for Orphans and Girard Estate. The Board was composed primarily of twelve appointees of the Court of Common Pleas and of the Mayor and the President(s) of City Council(s) ex officio. The City Treasurer was designated the Board's treasurer; he had served the Board's predecessor bodies in the same manner. In 1957 the administration of the estate of Stephen Girard was removed from the Directors' control by the Orphans Court and transferred to a newly-established board of thirteen private trustees appointed by that court; in 1968 those trustees were abolished and it was restored to the City's Directors.
The Philadelphia Home Rule Charter, in Chapter A-1, Section A-100, exempted the Board of City Trusts from all provisions of the Charter, unless specifically mentioned.

Modern and Contemporary Art
The Six Elements
1929
René Magritte, Belgian, 1898 - 1967
Oil on canvas28 3/4 x 39 5/16 inches (73 x 99.8 cm)
Currently not on view
1950-134-127
Magritte developed his art from the troubling uncertainties produced by strange juxtapositions and distortions of commonplace objects and settings. His style of painting in a smooth, illusionistic manner more commonly associated with academic or popular art than with modernist experimentation was an essential tool in the artist's lifelong project of disturbing existing assumptions about the rationality of reality and its perception by the eyes and mind. In The Six Elements, he relied on this direct style of representation to depict a multipaneled picture-within-a-picture showing six components: flames, a female torso, a forest, the facade of a house, a sky with clouds, and a curtain made of lead and sleigh bells, one of his favorite enigmatic images. Magritte's title calls to mind the classic formulation of the basic elements of the universe—air, water, fire, and earth—although the links between these and his own set are elusive, presenting teasing riddles for the viewer.
Each of the elements enclosed in the framed compartments assumes a quality of isolation as if it were a discrete thought or a word. Yet the image, which seems as easily toppled as a theater set, calls into question the notion that reality can be divided into parts and subjected to rational analyses. Reused and transformed by the artist in later paintings, these same "six elements" became central to the self-contained world of Magritte's art. Painted at the end of a three-year stay in Paris when Magritte was immersed in Surrealist circles, The Six Elements exemplifies the artist's ability to lure the viewer into questioning the relationship between language and images and searching for meaning behind and beyond his flat and seemingly intractable paintings.

Both smartphones comes with an S. Is it from smarter, speedier or superior? Xperia Arc S and iPhone Arc S are two upgraded versions of their current models Xperia Arc, respectively iPhone 4. Today is the official release date for iPhone 4S. Would you buy it? Don’t be disspaointed about the same design as the iPhone 4, because inside it’s a complete new device with better internal specifications. Let’s take a closer look at both handsets to see what they have to offer.
If you prefer a sophisticated design, the Xperia Arc S beats the iPhone 4 S by being incredibly thin with its 8.7mm in comparison with 9.3mm. iPhone 4S has the same classic, simple and nice form factor as the popular iPhone 4. On the other side, the Xperia Arc S features a more stylish and fancy design with a rather curved form. Once you put in hands, you’ll feel it very light, weighing only 117 grams, while the iPhone 4S comes with 140 grams. Sony Ericsson’s device is taller than the iPhone 4S with 125mm vs. 115.2mm and also wider.
In the display category, the iPhone 4S doest an excellent job. Apple has been using the same 3.5-inch LED-backlit IPS TFT retina display with a great resolution of 640 x 960 pixels that offers super clear and vivid images. Indeed, the Xperia Arc S has a larger 4.2-inch LED-backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen with a lower resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. Both devices include a scratch-resistant surface to keep the screen in maximum conditions and more useful features such as accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate or multi-touch input method.
Interested about the camera? Well, finally, Apple has improved this section, entering in the smartphones’ category with a good 8 megapixel camera on the back with autofocus and LED flash plus the touch focus, geo-tagging and face detection features. It is capable of capturing videos at 1080p with a secondary VGA frontal camera included. The Xperia Arc S is also delighting us with a performant rear 8 MP camera and more interesting features such as a 3D sweep panorama and capable of 720p. No frontal camera for video calls is included. Basically, the iPhone 4S beats the Xperia Arc S with its capability of recording videos in full HD at 1080p.
The processor segment has also been modified by Apple with its newly arrived iPhone 4S which includes a faster 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with A5 chipset. Sadly, the Xperia Arc S doesn’t include a dual core CPU, but a single one, a Scorpion processor clocked at 1.4 GHz plus a Qualcomm MSM8255T Snapdragon chipset. No doubt that the iPhone 4S is faster than the Xperia Arc S, which means it wins this category.
Regarding the RAM memory, both devices include a decent 512MB. As far as the storage space is concerned, the new iPhone 4S will be available in three models: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, with no posibility to expand them, because there is no card slot included. On the other side, the Xperia Arc S has 1GB of built-in memory which can be expanded up to 32 GB via a microSD card slot that has an initial 8GB.
What about the software part? Well, as expected, the upgraded version of the iPhone 4 runs the iOS5, a platform that includes 200 new features such as notification center, a new messaging center plus the iCloud. Obviously no Flash included and it is using Safari as web browser. The Xperia Arc S, on the other hand, comes with Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread plus access to the Android Market, the place where you can find games and a bunch of interesting apps to download for free or paid.
Regarding the connectivity section, both devices are compatible with Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotspot, 3G and Bluetooth. The HSDPA data speed is 14.4 Mbps for both devices.
Conclusion
One big issue for the Xperia Arc S is the lack of a dual core processor, which doens’t make it a real competitor for the crowded smartphones’ market. Compared to the original Xperia Arc, it is practically the same handset, so, if you already have an Xperia Arc, that’s no need to go for the S model. On the other side, the iPhone 4S is substantially improved compared with the actual iPhone 4. Despite the identical design, inside there is a new phone. Taking into consideration all specs, the iPhone 4S is a better handset than the Xperia Arc S, unless you’re into its sophisticated form factor.

People have opinions and they voice it...android users dont single out iOS users and bash them or something, yes you find most of the public opinion on this site in favor of android because android has a much larger customer base so its natural that statisticallly most of the people on the site are using android and therefore are in favor of it
Fuuny how you say iOS users are being singled out on this website...I for one got banned because I said something against iOS usage...I was thinking this is iPhoneArena instead of PhoneArena but hey its the site moderator's choice to do what they see fit according to the rules...

Didn't you see the wink at the end of the post? I am not insulting iOS. I could have gone real hard on iOS. Instead, I used a facetious comment to play off Pow's post. As an aside, it seems that the iP5 is at the top of the benchmarks at the moment. Apple does have an out-dated UI. Conversely, they have a very robust security model (probably the most robust in the mobile industry at the moment).
How is that for objective assessment?

blabla, if ios also would have widgets then apple fans wouldnt say that widgets su*ks and it is battery killer.... I remember when apple fans were shouting that 3.5" is the best screen size and bigger screen is only for noobs... After apple introduced iphone with 4" screen, apple fans started to claim that bigger screen is a nice feature.... /facepalm

Galitto why even bother aguing with these folks? They wake up every morning to prowl for apple/iOS/iPhone articles, just to sit there and post insults to make each other laugh out loud, and give thumb ups. Dude just enjoy iOS like I do, and let the ones who hate on apple do just that. U cannot win this pointless battle, jus let em hate, insult, and call us iOS users all the names they want. Is apple losing sleep over this? No. Am I losing sleep over this? No are u losing sleep over this???

Lack of support,development,apps and the fact Nokia dropped it. Point been Nokia killed an OS that was more advanced then iOS so your comment is BS on a high level
iOS isn't the most advanced you talk crap there. Its a glorified app launcher with too many restrictions.how can a locked down app launcher be the most advanced?

Mxyzptlk. Dude why even bother arguing? iOS rocks, we iOS users know what we like and want n an OS. I love the new features of iOS 6, look forward to the next update. My iPhone 5 has no issues that I can speak of, and if I did or develops some then oh well, a software update will fix it.

Do u see this OS debacle starting to spill over into real life, and not just the Internet? This level of prejudice from android and iOS users is crazy. Tension like this is usually reserved for race, or religion. I've been reading over a lot of people's posts, and I'm shocked at the level of direspect, prejudice, and threats that I see. I hope I don't start seeing people assaulted, or physically harassed due to carrying an iPhone, or gs3. What r your thoughts on this issue?
49. CRICKETownz posted on 22 Oct 2012, 18:40 2 2
defending software that's dead (Symbian) as more advanced, yet no one wants it...is not very credible on your part. the number of arrogant, narrow-minded android fans that litter this site vastly out number those who are fans of iOS. if you have valid reasons for liking iOS...then you get termed a "troll" for speaking out about why you don't care for android. you show me five single derogatory comments made on this site from an iOS fan against android & i'll show you 20 different articles related to Apple that android fans who can't help themselves from sharing their negative opinions. there's constructive criticism & there is being an asshole. unfortunately, most of the android community on this forum falls under assholes. you don't like iOS, i get it...shut the hell up & move on.

No one wants it, your generalising as many would want symbian and to have it continue. Not credible, this is a tech site and although symbian has been announced dead its still around and still an extremely functional OS but you think as im not praising iOS im a hater.
No he is a troll, and he didnt speak with any Common sense h stated it was the most advanced and i wanted his reasons then you pretend peacemakers come in acting like its a big attack on apple. And worse you class attack the android users as again you class anyone that aint praising apple as a fandroid how simple minded are you
Ohh and dont worry you will have you apple troll cheerleaders supporting you on your arrogant little quest as you make it Look like all iOS users are victims on this site when fact is if the stopped talking absolute bs then they wouldnt be called on it.
Ohh and i wont shut up, but suggest you and your apple trolls do as you add nothing to the site

can you please explain to us how and why it is the most advanced mobile os in the world? if you can't do that it means you just copy paste those words in apple website. if it is advanced why is it some of it's features and functionality are also being used in android for a long time now. advanced means they created something that other competitors still hasn't created it. that's my thoughts after reading your comment.
44. sithvenger (banned) posted on 22 Oct 2012, 17:26 3 1
No innovate means they created something no one else is using. Advanced means to further their platform, which they've done. Apples OS approach isn't better, or worse than android, windows etc. it's just different. Their marketing model is to the mainstream user not specifically to the techie crowd. Think Corvette and Camry, both r great cars but they cater to totally different markets. One does more, but requires a lot more to keep it running smoothly. One does a little less ei widgets live wall papers, but requires less to keep it running smoothly. Both r top notch os's though to their users. I love both to b honest, but iOS is my Camry (my daily driver). I guess I'm a blind stupid ish##% now right?
50. CRICKETownz posted on 22 Oct 2012, 18:45 1 1

At what age should you give your child a cell phone?
@PhoneDog_Taylor
In the world today, technology has become an integral part of everyone's lives. I am never more than a few feet away from my smartphones, and most of the time I have a backpack or messenger bag, chock-full of tech, slung on my shoulder. I even catch myself constantly daydreaming over the handful of gadgets I have pre-ordered (or backed via Kickstarter) that will arrive later this year. (I seriously cannot wait for Leap Motion to be plugged into my MacBook and to be swiping and typing in-air.)
But there are some concerns we all should consider, such as how this technology impacts our lives and those around us. Are you addicted to technology? Does it affect your social life? Do your phone habits affect your sleep? Work? Family life?
When it comes to tech, though, there are also major moral concerns that every parent comes across at some point. Tecca's Michael Arcand asked a question almost every modern parent has faced: How young is too young for a mobile phone? As Arcand explains, there is no black and white, one-size-fits-all answer. While there are advantages to introducing technology to children early on, it's probably not a good idea to pass down your bad cell phone habits to your child. You don't want them tapping out text messages at the dinner table or ignoring you while they check their Facebook from their phone.
Per usual, there are many different factors to consider when tackling such a question.
First, weigh the advantages. You can reach your child almost anywhere, barring they have service, their phone hasn't died or they don't choose to ignore when you call. You can also track their location through the embedded GPS chip in the cell phone. And there are certain skills (social and technological) that a child needs to develop through some freedom, rewards and means of communicating with their friends.
Then identify the disadvantages. You might be receiving a phone call about your child's incessant cell phone use during school. Remember that most phone also have an Internet connection, and most of those data packages come with a hard or soft limit. Nobody wants to up the possibility or risk of an outrageous amount of overages. Worse yet, there is next to no parental oversight, so what your child would be looking up is at their own discretion (without the aid of something like Net Nanny).
Not to mention, cell phones are expensive to replace (insurance isn't cheap either). Children are notorious for breaking things, and cell phones are certainly not going to be an exception.
There is also the want versus need argument. Arcand explains that the younger a child, the more they will be under constant parental supervision. Those parents will likely have cell phones of their own. But your child carrying a cell phone may be the difference in an emergency situation.
Finally, you have to come to a consensus on what age a cell phone is appropriate, which is totally at the discretion of parents.
While I won't have to face this debate with my significant other for several years, it's still something I come across quite often. Personally, I wasn't allowed to own a cell phone until I started playing sports and spending the nights away from home a lot. And I wasn't allowed to choose my own phone until I had my own job – 16-years-old.
But it's as if every day I see younger and younger children with cell phones. And tons even with smartphones. One of my cousins had a cell phone at age six. Another had an iPhone around age nine. To me, that's just too young, at least for a smartphone. I can understand a parent justifying their child carrying a cell phone; it can be consoling. But there is no real justification for a child that young to have a smartphone.
If I had a child, I would hold off on giving them a cell phone until they were at least 12 or 13 – upon entering adolescence. And they wouldn't get a smartphone before they could pay for it themselves. (Oh, how I sound like my mother!) That decision, of course, is going to vary family to family. Do you have a child? Have you given them a cell phone? A smartphone? If so, at what age did you do so? If not, at what age will your child get their first phone?

iOS 6 announced with Apple Maps; Video of next iPhone; Ban on Galaxy S III and more!
@PhoneDog_Sydney
android iOS iphone os the dog pound windows phone 7 Samsung Galaxy S III HTC One V Apple iPhone 4S 16GB Black Apple iPhone 4 16GB Black Apple HTC Microsoft Samsung Virgin Mobile
WWDC kicked off today and the first thing Apple did was show off the newest version of its mobile operating system. iOS 6 brings over 200 new features like Facebook integration, Passbook, Maps, and more. Apple detailed several of the new features in the keynote. iOS 6 will be available this fall. Continuing with Apple news, the company is now asking for a preliminary injunction on the Galaxy S III, claiming infringement on two of its patents. A judge recently threw out a case recently between Apple and Motorola so we'll see if Apple has more luck with this trial. All of these news topics and more are discussed in this week's episode of The Dog Pound.

Nikon D300s Review
Conclusion
If you've read the entire review, you will hardly have any doubts that the Nikon D300s is an excellent camera. Build quality is superb, handling and ergonomics are first-rate, and the abundance of dedicated external controls leads to quick and straightforward operation in the field. The optical viewfinder is up there with the best ones in this class. The 51 autofocus points cover most of the frame, and allow you to focus on whatever subject you deem important, without having to recompose or compromise the framing. 3D focus tracking works as advertised, making the Nikon D300s one of the finest choices for action and sports photography. Image quality is about as good as it gets for a DX-sized sensor, in terms of detail, dynamic range and noise handling alike. Options like capturing multiple exposures in a single photo or being able to control wirelessly slaved system flashes extend the creative possibilities of the camera.
It's all nice and well, but if you are now thinking, “wait, this could all be said about the D300 too”, you are actually quite right. So what does the D300s bring to the table that wasn't available in its predecessor? In our opinion, the most important improvement is the addition of a second memory card slot, which lets you instantly back up your images or helps organise them by allowing you to record NEFs on one card and JPEGs on the other. Another nice addition is the Virtual Horizon, which helps you keep the camera level. The new Quiet mode will surely be appreciated by photojournalists, while the addition of a dedicated Live View button is a sensible choice, even if we found it a little too recessed for our tastes. Finally, the video recording function is something few DSLRs can afford to miss these days, though it's still a bit rough around the edges.
To us it seems that the majority of D300 owners aren't likely to switch to the D300s unless they've been specifically waiting for one or more of the improvements it offers, but everyone else in the market for a capable and high-quality DSLR should seriously consider this camera, which easily earns our 'Highly Recommended' rating.

Egypt protests through photos
Along with producing amazing photography, the camera has a role in documenting a nation’s struggle for freedom and a better future. Photos taken during strikes and protests can tell a million stories about how people feel and how they try to change their future with their own hands.
Currently, Egypt is facing hard times trying to change a 30 years old regime to guarantee a better future for its children. Many people tried to record these moments and to document the people’s strive to put an end to this rotten regime. It does not matter if the photos are taken by a professional photojournalist or an amateur; the important point is how the shots can deliver a lot of meaning that no words can express.
The below collection shows the struggle of the Egyptian people against the regime, during the Friday of Anger and the week after it.
All photos are linked and lead to the sources from which they were taken.

Navy Pier Night Safari
Navy Pier Night Safari Details
Join us for a workshop focused on night photography conducted frequently beginning at iconic Navy Pier.
Working in the night glow of the Ferris Wheel, your guide will first give you a 40-minute presentation to help you understand your camera and how to use it to capture night photography scenes, including: when to shoot night shots, how to meter, why and how to use your tripod. The guide will also explain what all those features on your camera do, especially the ones controlling F-stops, shutter speeds, white balance, and ISO and when and how to change them for night photography.
Following this overview, you will begin photographing the Ferris Wheel and other rides at Navy Pier, the Chicago night skyline, the walkways of Navy Pier, and possibly even some fireworks!
Throughout the safari, your guide will critique your photos as you are taking them, helping you to correct exposure, composition, and white balance right on the spot, so that you can immediately see the effect of your own corrective measures.
This hands-on training will give you invaluable photo techniques for your future night photography while at home or during your travels! This three-hour safari meets rain or shine. Bring your camera, lenses, and a tripod. All skill levels and cameras are invited! | http://www.photosafarinetwork.com/show_safari.asp?ct=chicago&c=64267125&id=5 | 2013-05-18T10:32:03 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

In Reply to: Re: "Daddy" posted by ESC.
: : The expression didn't originate in a movie or a novel, although it occurs in fictional dialogue. It's a traditional way of showing affection among some speakers (not most). I think the wife in "Come Back, Little Sheba" called her husband Daddy. It used to be fairly common for men in a certain social class (approximately lower-middle) in the US to call their wives Mother. I find these pet names offensive myself; they suggest that the person confuses legitimate relationships with incestuous ones.
: Hmmm. This one is going to take some study. American couples sometimes call each other "Mommy" and "Daddy" after they have children. It's a parent thing. It just happens. You can't tell your child, "Herman will be home soon." You say, "Daddy will be home soon." That's how it starts.
: Daddy and mama as sexual pet-names is a whole other thing apart from the parenthood arena. A man who supports a woman he isn't married to is a "sugar daddy." Then a sexually attractive woman is a "red-hot mama."
Calling one's spouse Daddy or Mommy when talking to a child makes perfect sense to me. Part of what gives me the creeps is addressing the spouse so as to imply that one feels like a child and thinks of the other person as a superior adult, a protector without whom one couldn't deal with reality. | http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/19/messages/941.html | 2013-05-18T10:13:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

[Interview]
Of course,
the Silverado SS, with its extended cab, also weighs around 600 pounds
more than either truck. In fact, it's probably closest to the supercharged
2002 Ford F-150 Harley
Davidson Edition Super Crew when it comes to configuration and performance.
When it comes
to towing, if that's what you think you will be doing with your SS, the
7500 pound capable Silverado outdoes the Lightning by 2500 pounds with
its Z82 heavy duty trailering package, though it only beats the Lightning
by 90 pounds in payload at 1490 pounds. There are no official figures
for the SRT-10 but we estimate it to be capable of hauling a 10,000 pound
trailer.
Second
Opinion: A Truck that Rocks, Rolls and Hauls
By: Tom Keefe
If
you were waiting for Chevrolet to come up with a Ford SVT F-150
Lightning fighter you might be a little disappointed with the new
Chevrolet SS, due early next year as 2003 model. After all, on paper
the Chevrolet SS is missing so much of what the Lightning has.
Ford
Lightning Wins:
1.
Super Charger with 8 PSI of Boost
2. Horse Power 380 @ 4750 RPM
3. Torque 450 Pound Feet
4. Pure unadulterated speed under 14 seconds ¼ mile and 140+
MPH top speed
5. Unmistakable SVT Lightning looks
What
more could anyone want than what the SVT Lightning offers?
If
you go shopping for a killer truck like the Ford Lightning, you
have to make a few compromises. Now don't start shooting at me you
Ford guys. I seriously considered the Lightning even though I needed
room for 4 people. The deciding factor for me was towing capacity.
With 5000 pound towing capacity and 800 pound payload (2002 specs)
the Lightning is just barely a pickup. I needed more capacity as
well as performance.
I was
ready to go buy a ¾ ton something and then buy a sports car
to drive when I wanted have some fun. Nevertheless, I am a truck
kind of guy. Then I heard about the new Chevrolet SS. I thought
Chevy would follow Ford and build a regular cab. If they built a
bigger cab like a Crew or Extended Cab, then they would just hang
a bunch of cladding on the side and call it an SS.
The
2003 Chevrolet SS is a truck that reminds me of the days gone by
and I look forward to many enjoyable weekends making this SS my
SS. I don't want to give my age away but I remember going to the
dealer and buying a vehicle that needed all my attention to finally
become mine. In addition, that's my definition of fun when you can
find a vehicle that when you walk away you stop turn around look
at your pride and joy and say that is mine.
Well
call me any name you want but I love this truck. When I was afforded
the opportunity to see Chevrolets newest SS
all I can say
is I like the Extended Cab though I would have preferred a Crew
Cab I am happy with the shorter Extended Cab 143.5 inch wheelbase.
In my opinion, the Chevrolet extended has the most useable back
seat. I would not sacrifice bed length for a Crew Cab as I need
the extra bed length and with SS's 7500 pound towing capacity and
a 1400 payload capacity, who knows a new Fifth Wheel trailer could
replace the boat or better yet get a slip for the boat near a campground.
Moreover,
if I want pure speed I can buy some of that for my New SS for a
lot less than buying a different truck to tow my trailer and one
to drive for pleasure while not towing. I admit that I want both
in the same truck. Now thanks to the good folks at Chevrolet I can
have both trucks in one.
1.
More cab space. Like a 2+2 sports car, I have to carry 4 people
and granted two of them don't need a bunch of room but they do need
seat belts.
2. I need to tow a 7000-pound trailer.
3. At least 1400-pounds of payload
4. I like to go skiing and drive up in the mountains when the roads
are not cleared.
5. I do like to drive off road on some of the fire roads no pavement.
6. Sporty Styling
Shopping
List
1.
Super Charger now I need to do some research on this maybe you all
could help me figure out which one is the best.
2. I like the wheels but I could use some ideas on different wheels
3. I need to change the exhaust system better fuel economy you know
hehehe
4. Should I get XM radio for those long trips
5. Fifth wheel trailer that will work with a 6.5 foot bed
6. Does anyone know about a SS boat?
7. Custom paint job
I like
this new SS from Chevrolet. I wish it was here already.
The rest
of the Silverado SS is quite a nice package.
The exterior
is probably the best execution to date of Chevrolet truck's new Avalanche
inspired look. It's quite aggressive and clean with "SS" badges
on the tailgate and front doors. Available in three colors (onyx black,
victory red and arrival blue), the SS wears a monochromatic paintjob that
extends to the power bar grille and ground effects. In the lower front
fascia, the SS includes some styling cues taken directly from the 2000
Silverado SS concept truck. The 20" 5 spoke aluminum wheels are
well done and distinctive. It's a shame the photographs don't do them
justice.
The leather
trimmed interior is top of the line with the same mid-cycle enhancements
as the rest of the 2003
Silverado lineup. Extras include "SS" emblems embroidered
into the seat headrests and an "SS" logo on the dash. The IP
gauges are clean and easy to read with black on white lettering and white
backlighting at night. Though you can order an SS with a single CD/cassette
player audio system, you would be foolish to pass up the optional Bose
stereo with its XM Radio capabilities. The fidelity and choice of music
are head and shoulders above whatever has been offered before in a pickup.
Though pricing
was not announced we estimate it will be right around $38,000, arriving
at dealerships in the first quarter of 2003.
Overall the
SS probably isn't the breakthrough performance truck that some might have
been expecting but sources are already starting to reveal that this is
just the beginning. Expect to see improvements made to this truck each
year, including substantial power upgrades and a possible 6-speed manual
transmission.

Afternoon State Sports Briefs: No update in Rodgers' conditionWisconsin Sports
--.
GREEN BAY -.
McCarthy said Rodgers is still going through the required process, and the coach should know more on Wednesday. Also today, McCarthy said there’s a chance that linebacker Frank Zombo could return for next Sunday’s home game against the New York Giants. He missed last night’s contest with a knee injury. And McCarthy said it’s possible that defensive end Cullen Jenkins could return for the regular season finale against Chicago on January second at Lambeau. Jenkins has been bothered all season by a calf problem. The Packers can still make the playoffs – but they’ll have to win their two remaining contests against the Giants and Bears.
_______________________________________________________________
NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” has been the night’s most-watched TV show for every week of the regular season. And last night’s Packer loss at New England was no exception. The broadcast won the evening with a preliminary national rating of 15.2. That’s 27-percent than the same week a year ago, when Minnesota was playing Carolina. The rating in Milwaukee was 44.5. Just over 400,000 TV sets had the game on in the state’s largest metro area. Nationally, the ratings peaked after 10 o’clock when the Packers were on their final drive and fell just short of upsetting the Patriots.
________________________________________________________________
The Milwaukee Bucks’ top scorer will be out 4-to-6 weeks. Point guard Brandon Jennings broke the long bone on the outside of his left foot last Wednesday at San Antonio. He took an awkward fall on a drive to the basket. Jennings played for 30 minutes in Saturday night’s home loss to Utah before getting an MRI yesterday. Jennings started every game since joining the Bucks almost a year-and-a-half ago. He’ll break a string of 107 regular season contests tonight when the Bucks play at Portland. Jennings is averaging almost 18 points and five-and-a-half assists for Milwaukee this year.
___________________________________________________
Former Cy Young award winner Zack Greinke says he likes the Brewers’ attitude. And he agreed to be traded to Milwaukee because he’s convinced they’ll pushing for a World Series this year. The Brewers traded four young players to Kansas City yesterday for Greinke and shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt. Greinke originally included the Brewers in a list of teams he did not want to be sent to. But he later changed his mind. Greinke said he thought the Brewers would go into a re-building mode had they traded first baseman Prince Fielder a year before he becomes a free agent. But now that the Brewers are keeping Fielder, Greinke believes the Brew Crew is in-it-to-win-it – and the team’s acquisition of starter Shaun Marcum confirms that belief. General manager Doug Melvin agreed. He compared the trade to the Brewers’ acquisition of C.C. Sabathia in 2008 – except that Greinke has two years left on his contract instead of a few months. Greinke said the deal was in the works for at least a week – and he thought it would happen sooner than it did.
_________________________________________________________
Craig Counsell is back with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel said the team completed a one-year deal a few days ago. But they’ve delayed the announcement while working on the trade that sent shortstop Alcides Escobar and three other prospects to Kansas City for 2009 Cy Young winner Zack Greinke. The 40-year-old Counsell – a native of Whitefish Bay – is starting his fifth season in Milwaukee, after winning World Series rings with Florida and Arizona. He provides versatility to the Brewer infield, as he plays second base, shortstop, and third. He hit .250 in 204 at-bats last season with a .322 on-base percentage.
________________________________________________________________
Levell Coppage of UW-Whitewater is D3football.com offensive player-of-the-year. And Whitewater’s Lance Leipold has been named the coach-of-the-year. The Warhawks won their second straight NCAA Division-Three title over Mount Union this past weekend. It was Whitewater’s third national crown in four years. Coppage, a junior running back, capped off a stellar season with 299 yards and three touchdowns in the title game. Senior linebacker Matt Wenger of North Central was named D-Three’s defensive player-of-the-year. Making the D-Three All-American first team besides Coppage were guard Matt Weber and tackle Robbie Ustruck of Whitewater – tight end Patrick Mengelkoch of Stout – punter and receiver Jared Jenkins of Stevens Point – and kicker Tyler Funk of Carthage. The All-American second team includes center Mark Gawronski of Whitewater. Warhawks’ defensive tackle Wesley Hicks made the third team.

The UW-Oshkosh men’s basketball team is in Las Vegas for a pair of games, starting tonight against Wartburg College of Iowa. In other Division-Three contests, the Madison Edgewood men host Dubuque. In women’s games, UW-Eau Claire hosts Luther College. Mount Mary of Milwaukee hosts Eureka. And Wisconsin Lutheran hosts Marian in a Northern Athletics’ Conference match-up.

Donkeymails is one of the oldest PTC sites I’ve known. I didn’t trust them at first, but I decided to join them even with their less than $0.01/click rate.
Like PPlinx, Donkeymails also offer members a very low minimum payout limit of $1.00. Also, clickers here can expect a lot of ads daily because of the huge range of advertisers they get.
This is my FIRST payment from Donkeymails. I admit, I was a bit anxious because I really thought the delays with their cashouts will result to the site closing down. So, I was really surprised and glad that I got this payment within 7 days.

I'll try to be as concise as possible with this post, but I have a lot of questions and a lot of things I'm looking for in my potential new home city.
I'll give you a little background on my riding and what kind of riding I'm looking for after I move. I'm a very late bloomer as far as mountain biking goes. I didn't start riding trails until about a year ago. I live in Houston, TX, and as you'd imagine the trails here are XC and fairly lame. Little to no elevation changes. The main reason for my move revolves around mountain biking, but there are plenty of things I hate about Houston, so I'm looking forward to getting the hell out of here for other reasons as well.
So one of the first things I'm looking for after I move is a variety of trails. I'd like to have access to XC, AM and DH trails. I've never ridden DH, hell, I've never even been on a mountain with the exception of driving on some mountain roads in California. But I've gotten hooked on watching DH/freeride vids online and feel like it might be my calling. Then again it might be well beyond my skill level and my body might not hold up to the abuse at my age (I'm 30, sadly). With any luck I'll be going to Angel Fire in a couple of weeks to get my first taste of true DH, so we'll see if it's the thrill I'm looking for or if I'll have piss dribbling down my leg while clutching the brakes as I skid slowly down the mountain. I seem to have a pretty significant fear of heights, which I'm sure will come into play while DHing and even keeps me from hitting dirt jumps already. For whatever reason I feel compelled to conquer my fears and not give up. But, if riding DH excites me as much as I think it will I think that would be the majority of the riding I'd be doing after I move so access to DH trails are looking to be a must. I also REALLY like the idea of having a home trail, i.e. something within riding distance of where I'll be living. Wouldn't have to be a DH trail though, just something to ride.
Now, another big factor is weather. I'm looking forward to anything different than the climate here in Houston, which is absolutely brutal and can make it next to impossible to do anything outside. I don't want to live somewhere however, where I'll have to put the bike away for the winter. I need to ride year round. Now I'm thinking snow will keep you from DHing in the winter since those trails are at higher altitudes, but I'd be more than happy with some rideable XC trails for the winter.
Being within an hours drive of a bike park with lift access trails would be awesome as well. Also any kind of local pump tracks, dirt jumps, and free ride areas within reasonable distance would be a huge plus.
Now let's talk demographic and community. I'm looking forward to more of a small town feel. I don't want to live in a podunk town though, I mean I'll need to be able to find a job. I'd prefer to live in a more liberal town. I don't need any kind of nightlife as I don't go to bars/clubs/restaurants/etc. What I will need is a job, roof over my head (I'd prefer to rent a room as opposed to getting my own place to save on living expenses), and access to a 24 Hour Fitness (I have a membership there and I work out 6-7 days a week). As far as work goes I'll have to find what I can. I don't have a degree and no solid career. I do however make over 15/hr right now so I guess I'll look forward to a nice pay cut.
So I guess the long and short of what I'm asking is does such a place exist? Will I be able to find a city/town with a wide variety of trails, nice weather, year round biking, potential for finding a decent paying job?
When I first made the decision that I was going to be moving I told myself I was going to move to BC, Canada. I figure if I'm going to do this I might as well go big and move to the area that has the most epic MTB trails in the world. It seems though the towns there either get a lot of snow in the winter and/or lots of rain. I don't know yet if there is anywhere up there where you can bike year round. Also the whole getting a work visa and being an immigrant isn't that appealing, not to mention that is one LONG ass drive. Although I do love that BC is more liberal than most of the US and from what I've read nearly everyone there is either Atheist or Agnostic. Also, isn't prostitution legal there? Sweeeet.
I have to keep my options open though. Some places I've heard about and am starting to research a bit are Park City, UT, Fruita, CO, Boulder, CO, Durango, CO, northern NM, etc. I'd love to hear some testimonials about either your home town if you think it's the greatest or places that you've been that you think fit what I'm looking for.
I also have another question specific to DH biking. I understand how DHing works at a bike park with chair lifts, but how the hell do you get to the top of the trails that aren't at parks with lift access? If you drive to the top then you either have to climb or hike back to your vehicle. If you park at the bottom you have to climb or hike before you can descend. I've heard of shuttle rides, but I don't know how that works exactly. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
Sorry for the novel. I will really appreciate any input, info or advice anyone is willing to give. Thanks, guys.

Nah, dude, This is a good forum. Lots of threads and some get missed.
We're in similar predicaments for what we're looking to get into. I'm going to make the move somewhere outside of Denver. Do not want to live in the city and want a small town vibe with mountains around and access to lots of good riding.
Give it a few days after this bump and someone will probably come along and post in here with a good suggestion. As for your 24h fitness membership, I'd let that "must" die and not limit myself based on a crappy gym chain.

Check out Southern Ca, I use to live there, and the riding is great. Your within a few hours of some bike park and in the winters down below the mountain are just like Texas. I live here in Austin, and the riding is great here minus having no real big down hill parks. We have lots of trails with all different kind of terrain.

Thread defibrillator....
I moved to SW CO. Love the towns, the vibe, access to riding around here is everywhere. The only thing I lament is the lack of lift-served. Guess I got spoiled in BC.
But on the upside there are so many fantastic XC trails around here that it doesn't even stick out as much of a sore point.

If you want a small-ish town that's not podunk, access to options for employment, reasonably liberal, decent weather for year round riding, and a variety of trail options the Front Range is it. Golden, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colo Springs are all options.
Fort Collins is a great town, and there are great trails in/near FoCo, but when you get tired of backyard stuff you'll travel a bit farther.
Golden is filled with good trail options out your back door, the town is nice, but it's pretty hemmed in by sprawl. Boulder has the best bike park (Valmont) and fairly quick access to several trail systems. there's also something that's rideable year round (there's a week or two that has snow but it doesn't last). There are also a boat load of bike shops that will provide everything you ever want. Winter Park is probably the closest true DH riding (90 min from Boulder) but there are some other DH-ish trails closer.
Durango is limited for employment and get's more winter snow.
Fruita is also limited on employment - tons of trails though.
Colo Springs isn't terribly small and it isn't terribly liberal either.
A year and a half ago I faced the same issue. I lived in Portland OR - the town was great and I loved Bend, OR, but wanted closer trails and more options. I moved to Boulder. It's not perfect, I don't really love the town, but geographically (weather, access to the bike park, and all trails) it's pretty great.
Good luck.

Just moved to Steamboat Springs last July. Wanted to be far away from city life and actually in a mountain town with everything out your front (or back) door. It's definitely isolated, but i think in a good way (doesn't get the summit county crunch). Pleanty of climby-XC, great shuttle trails, and of course the gondi runs all summer for bike use.
The overall outdoor vibe is what we came for. Camping/backpacking access, river fun, etc during the summer, and the snow isn't bad either!!
As far as shuttling goes, we usually leave the vehicle we drove up in at the top and get it after the ride with another vehicle, unless we can convince someone to just drive and drop us.

Last weekend we did what the promotional campaign suggests - Visit Scotland. We drove up to Loch Lomond on Friday and then on to Glasgow on Saturday. I love City Breaks - eating good food, discovering new places and staying in amazing hotels. Some random shots from the weekend for now with more to follow very soon.

The many functions of this promotional apparel piece makes it an ideal gift or giveaway to effectively promote your brand all year long.
Outfit the Company with a Lightweight Jacket
Keep your employees corporate apparel in-line with your branding requirements by designing customized promotional lightweight jackets for all. It is especially difficult for large corporations to maintain their company's brand image through out all promotional materials. However, promotional lightweight jackets come in a wide range of colors and styles so your marketing department can choose the best color combination and style for your branding needs. Similarly, promotional lightweight jackets can be completely customized, so your company can add whatever text or images they choose- on multiple jacket locations. Another great feature of promotional lightweight jackets are its' wide range of sizes and cuts. It is impossible for everyone at the company to have the same body size and shape. To accommodate a company's diverse environment, promotional lightweight jackets can be ordered from size X-Small to 6X-Large. So keep your team stylish, comfortable, and in-line with your branding efforts by distributing promotional lightweight jackets to every employee.
Increase Brand Loyalty with Promotional Lightweight Jackets
Studies have shown that customers and clients feel more loyal to a company that distributes promotional items and gifts with purchase. Additionally, brand loyalty increases with the quality and functionality of the promotional piece. To impress your clients, consider distributing promotional lightweight jackets. These promotional items are highly practical, because recipients are able to use them as a lightweight jacket or to stay dry and warm during those stormy and or windy days! With many different styles available, a company has the ability to decide what features they want to include on their promotional lightweight jackets. Also, they can customize the giveaway to target specific clients. If a majority of their clients are under the age of nineteen, and are female they may want brightly colored promotional lightweight jackets over the more traditional navy, black, or brown. Corporations looking to outfit employees may be drawn to more reserved styles.

Why is it you never hear about our government asking the American people to buy “Government Savings Bonds.” That use to be a hot issue years ago. I can remember when I was in service most of the soldiers took out the bonds and when you hired on a job you were asked if you wanted to take out the bonds from your check. I know for sure there is too much bickering going on in our government by our Congressional. | http://www.pioneernews.net/content/leaders-must-work-together?mini=calendar-date%2F2013-01 | 2013-05-18T11:05:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Maybe the only consensus reached by Bullitt Fiscal Court members was that neither version of the 2012-13 budget included pay increases for employees.
With the support of the county’s EMS policy committee, director Mike Phillips presented some salary information to members of fiscal court.
And the ball was passed right back to that committee for further consideration.
Phillips said that there is an increasing turnover rate in Central Dispatch, which is the department he was instructed to begin his. | http://www.pioneernews.net/content/magistrates-throw-salary-issue-back-committee?mini=calendar-date%2F2012-10 | 2013-05-18T10:57:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Before season viewed as a future ace, fresh off a breakout sophomore season. I’m not going to say that Ranaudo will follow the same path as White and see his stock fall this season, because there wouldn’t be any reason to think that. Right now Ranaudo is considered the next best thing to Harper, and there’s a good chance that he goes at the top of the draft once June rolls around.
I would like to take this moment to write a note to all of you future readers clicking over from the 2011 Pittsburgh Pirates Draft Prospects Preview for a recap of the 2010 draft prospects: At the time of this writing, Ranaudo is fresh off a 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K outing and looking like the real deal. However, if at this time next year he turns in to Alex White part two, let it be known that he faced Centenary. Hopefully by this time next year we’ll find out who that is and why I thought that performance justified him as a top draft prospect. Then again, maybe at this time next year (or present day for you 2011 readers), Ranaudo would have lived up to the hype, would have been selected by the Pirates, and would have signed after a long summer of negotiations with Scott Boras, with certain Pirates fans doing their best Chicken Little act every day leading up to that August 15th deadline. If that’s the case, you 2011 readers can check out the Anthony Ranaudo page, located on the BUCCO Fans Player Pages section of the site. One final note to you 2011 readers, I still hope to get the Wiki section finished soon. Sorry for the extensive delay, even if I have a whole year to finish it from the time of this apology. Back to the draft preview…
If we can take one thing from this message, it’s that the 2011 Prospect Guide, the change to “Pirates Prospects”, and the increased coverage over the last year all totally makes up for the fact that I completely ignored the Wiki section of the site. It’s still on the back burner. Hopefully it will be done by next year.
I would like to take this moment to write a note to all of you future readers clicking over from the 2012 Pittsburgh Pirates Draft Prospects Preview for a recap of the 2011 draft prospects: At the time of this writing, I really did intend to revive the Wiki section of the site. However, as you know, it was far on the back burner, as I spent more time getting together better features, such as an App for the site. Sidenote: I really hope you’re reading this on the Pirates Prospects App, and that I actually created it and didn’t leave you hanging for a whole year. I also hope that you are currently anticipating Anthony Rendon making his professional debut in the Pirates system, and reading about him in the Pirates Prospects 2012 Prospect Guide. But overall, I’m hoping that I can get the Wiki section ready by the 2013 draft preview. And as an early note to those 2013 readers, sorry I never got it completed.
If we can take a second thing from last year’s message, it’s that a lot can happen between now and the draft. Hopefully that doesn’t mean that Anthony Rendon goes from being the consensus top draft prospect to a guy we don’t even consider taking, but it does mean that nothing is written in stone yet.
We’ve now seen three years of drafting by the Pirates, and three different scenarios. In 2008 there was a lot of talent, and the Pirates took the best overall talent, selecting Pedro Alvarez with the second overall pick. In 2009 there was a shortage of talent, with most of the top options being prep pitchers. The Pirates passed, selected Tony Sanchez as a “signability” pick, and used the savings to invest in several prep pitchers in the later rounds, like Zack Von Rosenberg, Colton Cain, and Zack Dodson. In 2010 the talent level was low, although the Pirates had the second pick, with their choice of Jameson Taillon or Manny Machado. They took Taillon, the prep pitcher, which was a surprise considering the previous year’s results. In fact, here was the write-up of Taillon in last year’s preview:.
After three years of drafting, I don’t think we’ll be seeing anything that will surprise us this year. The 2011 draft is similar to the 2008 draft. There’s a lot of talent, especially at the top, which means the Pirates should be expected to take the top overall pick. That will most likely be Rendon, if healthy. I really can’t see the Pirates passing up on him, especially since the next best prospects are Matthew Purke and Gerrit Cole, two college pitchers. After seeing what has happened to the top college pitchers the last two years (Alex White in 2009, Anthony Ranaudo in 2010), I’d rather go with the college hitter, which is the best bet to take in the draft. A quick rundown of the top three guys, with links to their trackers (which will be updated with stats throughout the year):
Rendon, like Pedro Alvarez, is a third baseman who can move quickly through the system, potentially arriving as early as June 2013, although there are some who say it could be earlier. He’s also a potential star, drawing comparisons to Ryan Zimmerman and Evan Longoria. He is coming off a sophomore season where he hit for a .394/.539/.801 line and 26 homers in 226 at-bats for Rice. That was enough to earn him the Baseball America Player of the Year award, an award which he is the favorite to win again in 2011.
Despite his strong hitting skills and his favorable comparisons, there is one big question about Rendon. He suffered a major ankle injury in 2010, which is the second such injury in his young career. His recovery has gone well, and he is fully cleared for baseball action for the 2011 season. If he remains healthy, Rendon would be the easy choice for the Pirates.
The selection of Rendon would be a big addition for the Pirates. The farm system is thin on power hitting prospects, and the addition of Rendon could eventually provide a strong middle of the batting order when paired with Pedro Alvarez. Rendon could also move Alvarez over to first base, assuming Alvarez is still at third base when Rendon arrives..
Purke was selected by the Texas Rangers in the first round of the 2009 draft, but decided to go to college and re-enter the draft in 2011 as a draft eligible sophomore. The 6’ 3”, 180 pound left hander put up a 3.02 ERA in 116.1 innings during his first year in college ball in 2010, with an 11.0 K/9 and a 2.6 BB/9 ratio. He throws a 92-95 MPH fastball, and a hard slider which was rated as one of the best in the 2009 prep class.
THE FIRST OVERALL PICK
All signs currently point to Anthony Rendon being the pick, but that assumes he lives up to the hype this year. If Rendon isn’t an option for the Pirates, and it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t be if he’s anywhere close to healthy, then Purke or Cole could serve as a strong backup plan, giving the Pirates another potential top of the rotation starter to add to the system. There are a few other interesting prospects on the board, such as outfielder George Springer, who has the potential to be a 30-30 player in the majors. If Rendon struggles throughout the year, I will start following additional players, such as Springer. Hopefully that won’t happen, and this time next year Rendon will be in the system, as the future Pirates’ version of Evan Longoria/Ryan Zimmerman. | http://www.piratesprospects.com/2011/02/2011-pittsburgh-pirates-draft-prospects-preview.html | 2013-05-18T10:13:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Hello everyone,
a number of people have complained of slow response times from the forum, and in an effort to clean things out, I am asking everyone to dump the the PM's that you don't need anymore. We currently have over 50,000 rows in the PM tables... I'm going to give everyone a few days to police this one themselves, but if we don't come down significantly, I'm going to need to prune the tables.
No, I am NOT asking anyone to empty their folders completely, but please remove anything that you aren't keeping for a reason. I'm guilty of letting my inbox stay full all the time, so I'm in the same boat!!
Thanks for your understanding. | http://www.pitbulltalk.com/viewtopic.php?p=409210&f=57 | 2013-05-18T10:15:10 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Some time ago, I made a joke about making some Gastown Steamclock t-shirts. The steamclock, a silhouette of tourist crowds, etc.
Recently, I had a designer say they’d be interested in putting something like this together.
And so, it’s time to decide if YOU would be interested in buying OMG Steamclock t-shirts.
Here’s a very preliminary form to help us gauge interest in this idea. If there’s interest, we’ll put up some preliminary designs, investigate costs, and so on. | http://www.pixelcrafters.ca/post/33583871904/omg-steamclock-t-shirts | 2013-05-18T10:21:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
This video is for your inner geek. This epic video was created by the Japan Institute of Science and Technology. Basically its a real life racing game inspired by the classic “WipeOut” game series. The best part is that the cars are powered by prototype Quantum Levitation!
The research team re-created the classic racing track from the WipeOut game, filled the cars with Liquid Nitrogen for effect, and then raced them around the track powered by the quantum levitation elements. It’s had over 2.2 million views already!
Enough talking, watch it now: | http://www.pixelvulture.com/2012/01/real-world-wipeout-track-quantum-levitation/ | 2013-05-18T10:41:38 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
2013 is here, which means new generation GPU’s that will render your’s obsolete; Smaller, faster and cooler CPU’s; Bigger and brighter monitors that render in the 5th dimension; Quieter cooling solutions that need no power, nor fans, nor contain water or a liquid of any kind…basically everything that is far superior to what you have right now. This all will undoubtedly evoke a kind of covetous sadness once you are over the shock. To avoid these feelings of discontent, we have put together this article to prepare you for what is to come.
Inevitably these products are coming – they always come…like an unstoppable wave of redundancy. So, what do you do once they land? Give in to the illustrious Computer Upgrade Disorder or otherwise known as CUD? Or save your hard earned Madiba’s for the next-generation of pixel-munchers and crunchers? Good question. When faced with it, I always try and keep Moores Law in mind. Simply put: Technology doubles every 2 years. For example, I would personally wait if you have forked out within the last 12 – 18 months. On the other hand however, if you are looking to upgrade, be it out of sheer desperation and/or frustration or the over indulgent, omnipresent CUD, then this is what to look out for this year:
Intel:
Details were revealed at CES this year about Intel’s new 22nm Haswell processors that are built on the Shark Bay platform. The chips will come in both duel-core and quad-core variations. Both however will feature the new HD 4500 iGPU (integrated graphics processing unit) which is believed to be able to deliver twice the performance of the HD 4000 that featured on the Ivy bridge processors. The launch date for these bad boys has not be set as yet, but leaked information suggests an early Q2 2013 release.
AMD:
Unlike Intel, AMD revealed their full line of Processors at CES 2013. The desktop processor has been codenamed Kavery and is based on a 28mn process. It will feature 2-4 “Steamroller” cores as well as a next gen GPU core – likely to be DX12 compatible. Kavery chips are likely to launch towards the latter half of 2012 and rumor has it that they will be AM3+ compatible as well, which is good news if you are running a disappointing bulldozer chip.
AMD Radeon:
On the Radeon side of things not much has been released about the upcoming HD 8000 range of GPU’s set for release this year. With exception of the fact that they will be called…HD 8000. Rumor has it the 8990, 8970 and 8950 will all drop first, leaked info suggests it will boast a 384mb/s bus speed. Besides the sadness it will evoke, it will likely decimate all – Well, that is if every other AMD Radeon Flagship is to go by. All we know is that AMD are staying mum about it for now. More to come on this soon.
NVIDIA:
These guys have been busy, the Tegra 4 processor looks like it is going to dominate the next-gen mobile and tablet PC market, which is why we have not focused on the upcoming 3rd Generation AMD processors, Kabani and Tamesh in this article. Also, with the release of Nvidia Shield and Grid all evidence indicates that NVIDIA have been spending all their time focused on mobile-based gaming in the cloud. Fear not though, although little has been said about the Next generation of NVIDIA GPU’s to date (likely to be called the 700 series and DX12 compliant) we know that they have been equally hard at work, what with stealing AMD’s employees along with sensitive company data and secrets. Watch this space, things are likely to get pretty good real quick within the next few months.
Xbox 720 and Playstation 4:
The hype and anticipation for the release of these two competitors is building fast via the interwebs. Speculations, rumors, specifications and even designs are starting to fly around as a result thereof. What we do know, is that the expectation for these two consoles is at an all time high. All the same, here are some of the rumors we managed to get our grimy mitts on…
PS4:
Rumor has it that Sony’s flagship will sport an 8 Core processor that will be clocked at 1.6GHz. The GPU will comprise of AMD’s new Jaguar architecture (Featured in their Kabani and Tamesh processors) which is designed to consume less power giving a lot more performance headroom. In terms of RAM, a huge 4GB of GDDR5 memory is expected so feature in the PS4. Don’t hold your breath though, these things are likely to change overnight. Lastly, as was accustom to the latter editions of the PS3, rumor suggests that the PS4 will NOT be backward compatible…so don’t let go of your PS3 just yet.
Xbox 720:
Microsoft’s console is rumored to be the last word on home entertainment. Sporting a similar setup to Sony’s PS4 in terms of internal hardware, as well as Blue-Ray player, Digital sound output up to 7.1, 3D ready output, full cloud synchronization and built in Kinect 2.0 features, it will surely be a force to be reckoned with. More to come on this soon.
We are hoping to hear more about these to consoles in the coming months, hopefully the whispers about the 10-11 month waiting period until we see the release of these next-gen gaming monsters is not just wishful stake in the ground.

The global gluten-free market is set to grow by $1.2 billion throughout the next five years, eventually reaching $4.3 billion by 2015, according to recent research by Datamonitor.
A majority of that market growth will come from the U.S. foodservice industry,.
The gluten-free industry has garnered a strong enough foothold to be represented at the 2011 International Pizza Expo, March 1-3 in Las Vegas.
The oldest and largest pizza-only trade show will feature gluten-free industry experts Alice Bast, president and founder of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), and Bryan Scherer, Penford Food Ingredient Company's director of research and development.
The duo will host an educational session titled "Understanding Gluten-free Foodservice Opportunities" from 9-10:30 a.m. March 1 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. A demonstration will be held later in the day.
This is the first session at the expo to be focused on gluten-free offerings. It will cover how gluten-free products are impacting food service and offering a chance for new menu opportunities, as well as evolving trends, finished product concepts and a "how-to" lesson on creating safe and tasty gluten-free items that can increase traffic and drive revenue.
"With the right ingredients and proper training, any establishment can implement a successful gluten-free menu, boost revenue and increase customer loyalty," said Bast. "Our goal is to make sure the foods we so enjoy eating are available everywhere and are safe for our gluten-free families."
With the expanding population of Americans affected by celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, demand for gluten-free products and menus continues to climb. The market posted sales of $2.6 billion in 2010, according to Packaged Facts market research.
Despite a growing demand, however, many in the foodservice industry have been reluctant or slow to adopt gluten-free options because of a "passing trend" perception and the difficulty of implementing such menu offerings and cross-contamination safeguards.
The NFCA provides gluten-free training, as well as tools to manage the gluten-free market.
The International Pizza Expo will feature close to 1,000 exhibits and more than 80 educational sessions, as well as culinary competitions, contests, demonstrations and other special events.

Williams' chief operations engineer Mark Gillan admits that success at Interlagos is all about finding the right balance.
The testing ups and down of the track combined with it's bumpy surface and low speed corners makes it a circuit that many drivers love but that can be a challenge to prepare for.
"The 71 lap long high altitude Interlagos circuit is one of the highlights of the season and one where overtaking is possible," explained Gillan.
."
For the second race on the trot both Williams drivers scored points in Austin and Gillan is hopefully of making it a hat-trick of points-scoring finishes.
"After a double points finish in Austin, we will be looking for a similar result here to end the season on a high note," he said.
Williams should have plenty of support in Brazil as it is Bruno Senna's home race and his team-mate Pastor Maldonado from neighbouring Venezuel."
Senna added: ."

Argentina welcome back Juan Martin Hernandez and Santiago Fernandez to their side that will face Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday.
The pair return to the line-up at the expense of Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino and Gonzalo Tiesi respectively, with Marcelo Bosch moving to 12.
Head coach Santiago Phelan makes two other changes to his line-up that lost to France as, with Juan Figallo ruled out, Maximiliano Bustos starts in the tighthead jersey and Gonzalo Camacho returns on the right wing for Horacio Agulla.)

Excellent point, you have to give players time to develop.

Gleek says...
Lads, calm down. Crikes. 'A' games are primarily about development, not winning. If Bent learns and improves from this experience then it will be well worth it. In 2011 Mike Ross took Alex Corbisero to school in Dublin, 12 months later Corbisero was credited with dismantling the Irish scrum.
Bent may not be test ready now but we are thin on options so the Irish management need to do all they can to develop his game.
Interestingly he seemed to do ok against South Africa so perhaps he is struggling with the stubble differences between NH and SH scrummaging.

Although Galway based, I missed the game. All the reports I rad indicate that the Irihs frontrow, in whatever combination, could not live with the English - Kilcoyne and Bent or Court and Fitzpatrick.Bent, ok, he is new on the block and may not yet be in the groove, but the other 3 or our leading contenders after Healy & Ross. The game on Saturday will show us where we are - the Welsh will always put together a good pack of forwards.
Bring it on!

@ Ferdie....
Up -date on Bent. He could'nt Prop up a Bar. We have to go with Fitzpatrick on the bench next week and pray Ross stays fit. Can any one explain how we have 3 great options at loosehead and 1 at tighthead?. and whats worse nothing seems to be done about it

If Bent gets injured at any stage Ireland are doomed. Worst performance I have ever seen from a tighthead. On his own he handed the saxons the game. We have no cover what so ever!

people forget that at one time Mike Ross was useless his skill came with age and game time but he has not had much game time. Give the lad time to find his feet tight head's don't usually hit their prime till there about 25, 26 years old he just needs practice and game time and to learn from more experienced players.

Yeah, I only managed to get the second half. I enjoyed the game as the result didn't really matter so it was great just watching some good rugby.
However it didn't really change any of my opinions of anyone except Biggs. He really impressed me and he deserves a call up based on the performance. Ford looked like a player lacking in game time. Kirchener was solid and mobile. Simpson, Wade and Daly looked exciting whenever they were on the ball, but Wade did miss some big tackles. Turner-hall was terrible, shouldn't have been starting. Front row was solid, but the ref didn't have a clue at scrim time (what's new?). Robson looked out of his depth and inadequate. Fraser was good and it was a hell of a try!

Well thats a great result for the Saxons considering the experianced players in the wolfhounds ect,but no BOD thought he was going to play ,guess his still not 100%.But every game he misses his chances of getting on the Lions tour diminishes imo.Would have been nice to have actually see the match,but not on TV ,and for some reason no online links even thoughit was listed ,strange .Anyway looking good for England long term .Now just need the EPS squad to do the biz.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, WIS. (Sept. 17, 7:15 p.m. ET) — Nordson Corp. has brought in one if its veterans to become top executive of Extrusion Dies Industries, which it purchased in May.
Nordson announced Sept. 17 that Godfrey Sandham has become vice president and general manager of EDI. He will relocate from his native England to EDI headquarters in Chippewa Falls. He will oversee the integration of EDI into Nordson, and coordinate EDI with a Belgian flat-die maker Nordson bought in 2011, called Constructiewerkhuizen G. Verbruggen NV.
EDI makes flat dies and fluid coating dies.
Nordson is based in Westlake, Ohio.
Sandham brings extensive international experience to EDI. In 1998, Sandham joined Nordson EFD, which manufactures precision fluid dispensing equipment for adhesives, sealants, lubricants and other fluids. Before coming to EDI, he was president of EFD International Inc., managing director of EFD operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and director of Nordson Germany. He also was a member of Nordson EFD LLC’s executive staff.
He is credited with building a pan-European business for Nordson EFD through acquisitions, mergers, geographic expansion and new business development.
Before joining Nordson, Sandham spent 20 years in the petrochemical industry working with lubricants, hot melts, coatings, solvents, chemicals and oilfield products.
Gary Edwards, former CEO of EDI, will leave the company in December to pursue other opportunities, Edwards will work with Sandham to make a smooth transition, Nordson said.
Another former EDI executive, Christopher Curtin, who was vice chairman of commercial activities at the flat-die maker, recently left EDI to join extrusion line maker Processing Technologies International LLC as vice president of international sales. | http://www.plasticsnews.com/article/20120917/NEWS/309179969/nordson-names-new-top-executive-at-edi | 2013-05-18T10:32:51 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Lipoplasty Thailand
Lipoplasty in Thailand is a procedure that sculpts and reshapes the body to attain the ideal shape you’ve always wanted. Sometimes exercise and diet simply cannot achieve that sexy curve you’ve always wanted to your waist or hips and now with this perfected technique you can have the body you’ve always wanted.
Description
The lipoplasty technique uses ultrasonic vibration to liquefy fat cells and is often used in conjunction with tumescent liposuction for better, smoother results. Lipoplasty is used to remove excess fat from specific locations in the body and creates a more sculpted, toned appearance.
What is the length of the surgery?
Lipoplasty in Thailand generally takes 4 – 5 hours to complete.
Who is a candidate for liposuction?
There is no guideline for weight, but the ideal candidate will have problem areas where fat deposits have accumulated and who wants these areas slimmed down for a more pleasing aesthetic appearance.
How is the surgery performed?
Lipoplasty is often done in conjunction with tumescent liposuction. Saline, adrenaline and local anaesthesia are infused into the area being treated to cause swelling and this means that the surgeon can work closer to the surface of the skin for better results. The high frequency soundwaves used in lipoplasty liquefy the fat cells, making removal easier. Small incisions are made to insert the cannula, which is a hollow tube attached to a suction machine that will literally suck the fatty tissue from the area. After the procedure you may either receive sutures or not, depending on the technique used.
What does a patient expect from lipoplasty in Thailand?
The patient can expect to have a slimmer, more contoured body shape and a more well-proportioned look to the figure. Often the patient will notice a reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
What are the risks and side effects involved in lipoplasty?
Patients may suffer from infections, nerve damage, bruising, swelling and scarring. In the case of too much fat being removed, nausea and vomiting may be experienced and the skin may develop an uneven appearance.
How long must the patient stay in hospital?
The patient will be expected to spend one night in hospital before they can be discharged.
Are there any noticeable scars?
Scarring should be minimal due to the small incisions made. These minor scars will fade over time.
It may vary from general to local anaesthesia depending on the extent of the work being done.
Frequently asked questions:
How to prepare for lipoplasty in Thailand?
The patient should stop the intake of any alcohol two weeks prior to the surgery. They should also stop smoking and taking medications and vitamins at the same time.
Are the results of lipoplasty permanent?
Yes they are, unless the patient gains a significant amount of weight after the procedure, which will likely encourage the re-growth of fat cells.
How long will it take to recover from lipoplasty surgery in Thailand?
You can expect to experience bruising and swelling for 1 – 2 weeks after the lipoplasty procedure. Avoid all strenuous activity for at least the first 4 weeks, although your doctor will encourage you to begin slow gentle walking after the swelling is reduced to prevent blood clots. | http://www.plasticsurgerythailand.com/body/lipoplasty-thailand.html | 2013-05-18T10:21:18 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
5 Perfect for meWolfmann | 14/12/2009 | See all Wolfmann's reviews (4)I love gadgets. This is ugly but perfect! It does exactly what its supposed to do giving you DAB in the car straight out of the box and also hand held DAB out of the car. Fixing is easy as is removing. Everything you need is in the box (apart from 2 AA batteries so you can use as a handheld portable DAB radio). Perfect for me as I travel to Football matches and listen to BBC 5 live. The reception is awful and often unbearable on analogue MW. When I get to the game I can then take it with me to the game to listen to match reports at half-time & full-time - How sad is that! | http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/-/3170/2437/-/8142699/Pure-Digital-Highway-In-Car-DAB-Digital-Radio-With-FM-Transmitter/Product.html?fb=1 | 2013-05-18T10:34:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
1 Really really poorb0b753 | 18/11/2012 | See all b0b753's reviews (5)Campaign: same thing as always. Corridor shooter, no variety. Every mission is shooting a lot of bad guys in different settings. Nothing new and a pretty weak story.Zombies: only thing that saves this game from being the worse one yet. Good variety in modes eg TranZit. kept me entertained for a couple of days.Multiplayer: Worst part of the game. It set out to reward people playing the objectives and it does but it also allows people to sit in corners, not move all game and do very well. The addition of combat training with the added twist of going against other people online was interesting but this doesn't actually count as a proper game even though you gain xp. This wouldn't be a bad thing except a few people just stay on that to level up and don't go online. If you like sitting in corners, using explosives and just pay the game to make others hate you then you'll love this game.If your looking for a decent game that will keep you entertained for hours, that has plenty of variety and won't make you wanna sell said game after one week then steer clear. | http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/31750591/-/Product.html?fb=2 | 2013-05-18T10:11:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The game is about color interaction. You have several colored (red, greeen and blue) balls randomly placed on a square field. Each ball can be spread on 5 free cells (no more and no less). A cell is free if it is not colored with ball’s color and does not contain another ball. Different colors in cell are added to each other. And when three colors meet together in one cell, they disappear and you earn points. After each move a new ball arises. Game overs when there are no more available moves. | http://www.playcoolmathgames.org/logic-games/coloradd.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:37 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

TV30 news show signs off for last time
Budget cuts trim staff, programs at Tri-Valley's community station
by Jeb Bing
Pleasanton Weekly Staff
Photo
Reminiscent of the last "Mary Tyler Moore" show years ago when Mary Richards, Ed Asner and Ted Knight tearfully turned out the lights at the fabled WJM newsroom for the last time--Morrison, TV30's news director Kevin Wing and their associates will do the same tonight as they leave their small Pleasanton production studio after the final "Live at 4" broadcast.
On the newscast, Morrison, who has broadcast the news since 1988, will be joined by his current co-anchor Melinda Meza, former co-anchor Michelle Soba and his long-time co-anchor Robin Fahr. Of the three, only Fahr will continue at the station as host of her own program, "Conversations."
Although other programs are being cut and five of the 12 full-time staff at TV30 are losing their jobs, the loss of the live news show and its staff are the most visible change viewers will notice as a result of a major expenditure cuts made earlier this month.
Faced with rising costs that have now topped the station's budget by a quarter-million-dollars two years in a row, the four mayors of the cities that control TV30's finances—--Jennifer Hosterman of Pleasanton, Janet Lockhart of Dublin, Marshall Kamena of Livermore and H. Abram Wilson of San Ramon—wrested control of the all-volunteer, independent board of directors last year to put a stop to run-away expenditures. Their action followed two years of hiring executive directors who deserve credit for bringing TV30 into the digital age with quality programming but who also spent far too much in making the improvements.
Twice—this year and last—the city councils of the four cities have had to dip into unbudgeted General Fund reserves to appropriate $250,000 to bail out the overspent station to meet the payroll and pay the bills. The mayors pledged to restore financial stability to the station and earlier this month adopted a $587,000 fiscal year budget that starts July 1, down from the estimated $880,193 that will be spent this fiscal year.
The new budget is balanced with expenditures equaling revenues, according to Joni Pattillo, assistant city manager of Dublin, whose city has oversight responsibilities for TV30 for this year and next under an agreement by the four cities to shift that duty every two years. Mayor Janet Lockhart of Dublin is also this year's board chairwoman, the city's Administrative Services Director Paul Rankin serves as treasurer of TV30 and Roger Bradley, the city's administrative analyst, has been named to manage the station following Kevin Wing's departure.
At the same time, the mayors created a new position for TV30—Business Manager/Executive Director—at a starting salary of $70,000-$80,000 annually. A search already is under way to fill this position.
The mayors also pledged to re-establish an independent, although city-approved and appointed board of directors and to consider reorganizing TV30 under a Joint Powers Agreement with the four cities in control. That could give TV30 more freedom in public fundraising and more commercial sponsorships.
The decision to shift the emphasis of TV30 programming back to its roots comes not only because of troubled finances but also after the mayors repeatedly objected to a news format that they felt had become partly irrelevant. In recent months, "Live at 4" has included weather and traffic updates and for a while a segment called "Buzz," that reported Hollywood and celebrity news.
Although the live weather and traffic reports were relevant at 4 p.m. when the live news show aired, the mayors said most viewers watched repeat broadcasts of the show later in the evening when those reports made no sense.. Morrison joined TV30 in 1988 when the first live news show aired and for years his was the only live news being broadcast anywhere in the country among locally-operated community stations.
TV30 broadcasts on channels 30, with education and school board meetings shown on channel 28 and city council and city-related programs shown on channel 29. Those will continue.
The station receives approximately $430,000 each year from Comcast, which provides the channels free of charge under a license agreement with the four cities and a 50-cent fee it charges subscribers. Those fees are given to the cities and then passed through to TV30 to fund its operations. With that agreement expiring in several years and with the growing popularity of direct dish TV systems which do not carry TV30 programming, viewership has been static. A recent survey showed that few than half of those who could watch TV30 ever tune in.

TV 30 news programs may not be the polished operation as seen on a network station but the "on camera" personnel were always professional. Seems rather interesting the "Mayors Report" survived.
