The Second Most Interesting Man in the World Wrote a Book Called Nullification.
Perhaps more than any other person in the Liberty Movement (besides Ron Paul, of course), someone I would consider a mentor is Thomas Woods. Andrew Napolitano is a close second. And Frederic Bastiat is long-dead. I've read six of Tom's books, but unfortunately don't get around to visiting his site as much as I would like. So a thank you shout out to @LitMargaretNan for sharing this link on twitter: A Wikipedia Assignment for You Guys | Tom Woods
In this post he requested that some of his readers edit the wikipedia articles on The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions and the Alien Act of 1798. It's been a very long time since I've done anything on wikipedia, so I made this meme to commemorate the occasion:
On Tom's site, I left this comment:
Tom. I'm thumbing through my copy of Nullification right now. Great read by the way.
Here's what I put at the bottom of the Alien Act page. I'll give someone else a chance to fix the Resolutions page.
"Others maintain that nullification naturally emanates from the Tenth Amendment in the last resort. Thus they see nullification as a legitimate tool of the states. The reasoning behind this is the idea that the individual states created the union, and aside from having the right to leave it (as enumerated in the Virginia and New York Constitutions), as equal parties were able to interpret for themselves on the same footing with the other parties in the compact. This was, in theory, to prevent tyrannies that might go unchecked by the three branches of the federal government. One such person, Thomas E. Woods, in is book "Nullification" also holds that nullification, apart from being a legitimate function of the states, is a necessary one, increasingly so as the size and scope of the federal government increases."
I highly recommend Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century to anyone interested in liberty, history, current events, or the meaning of the Constitution. And for anyone who is not interested in at least one of these things it must be because you are one of the undead. But that's okay, I recommend it to you as well. After all, Nullification is 100% zombie-approved!
Whether you agree with it or not, nullification is happening. Little by little, the states are reasserting their Tenth Amendment rights. If the President, the Congress, and the Courts won't enforce it, the states will. This will more and more be the case as things come to a head with debacles like ObamaCare, cartel money, mismanagement of land, gun control, and overbearing environmental and energy regulations.
Just one example. On November 6th, the voters of Montana interposed on their own behalf against the healthcare mandate.

When the Tekken film was released, it was so bad that Tekken's video game producer Katsuhiro Harada publically distanced himself from the project. He might have to do that again.
For reasons unbeknownst to man, Hollywood is keen to make another Tekken flick. Crystal Sky, one of the production companies on the first film, is planning a prequel that's "part of a franchise of movies".
No details are yet known other than the prequel's title, Tekken: Rise of the Tournament, which makes it sound like the film will follow the creation of the Iron Fist Tournament.
The first Tekken film got its premier in Singapore. The movie was so bad that its release was straight-to-DVD in the U.S. Tekken game producer Harada called the movie "terrible". Yep! That sounds about right.

Enns, Herman W. (1930-1977)
Herman W. Enns: pastor and educator, was born 7 April 1930 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the third child, and oldest son, in a family of five. His parents, Wilhelm (29 August 1895-19 January 1974) and Katharina (9 May 1897-16 October 1992) Enns, lived on a farm at Springstein, Manitoba, 32 km. west of Winnipeg. His father was a farmer-preacher in the Springstein Mennonite Church for many years. On 9 September 1961, during his seminary studies, he married Estelle Bartel of Hillsboro, Kansas. Herman died suddenly of a heart attack on 6 June 1977.
Herman attended school in Springstein up to Grade nine and attended the Mennonite Collegiate Institute in Gretna, Manitoba for high school. His major extra-curricular activity was editing the school year book. In the fall of 1950, after six months of teaching on a permit basis, Herman enrolled in the University of Manitoba in the pre-med program, and in 1952 was accepted into the School of Medicine in Winnipeg. Several rather traumatic religious experiences prevented him from proceeding in medicine, so he enrolled in the liberal arts program at the United College in Winnipeg (now the University of Winnipeg). He taught secondary school for one year at Swan River, Manitoba. He attended the Canadian Mennonite Bible College for one year and received his B.A. from the University of Manitoba in 1955.
Herman taught high school for four years at the United Mennonite Educational Institute in Leamington, Ontario. However it had become clear to him at the time he changed from medicine to the arts that he wanted to enter the ministry and be involved in preventive medicine. He enrolled at the Mennonite Biblical Seminary in the fall of 1959 and graduated in May 1962.
On 9 September 1962 Herman was ordained to the Christian ministry by his home congregation in Springstein, Manitoba. On 15 September 1962 he assumed leadership of the Hamilton Mennonite Church. In 1965 a church building was erected and in 1966 a Community Service Project in the north end of Hamilton was begun that became the Welcome Inn Church and Community Centre.
Herman was heavily involved in extra-congregational activities. He served as secretary for the Ontario Conference of United Mennonite Churches as well as the Conference of Mennonites in Canada, each for a three year term. He was moderator of the Ontario Conference for three years. He served as vice-chairman of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada and on various Boards and committees. The Inter-Mennonite Board of Congregational Resources, the Board of the Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, Indiana were among his other involvements. Herman was a firm supporter of inter-Mennonite cooperation in the years before it became fashionable. He also served on the executive for the Hamilton Ministerial Association and was involved with Telecare in Hamilton, serving as director of training for two years. He wrote a leader's guide for church membership instruction in 1969.
In 1970 he was able to work out a part-time arrangement with the Hamilton congregation, and took further training at McMaster University, concentrating on psychology. In September 1971 he began a residency year of Supervised Pastoral Education in Hamilton. In September 1972 Herman continued his probationary and course assistant training in Toronto. His assistant supervisor training was taken In the summer of 1973 in London, Ontario under the supervision of Ralph Lebold.
In September 1974 Herman resigned as minister of the Hamilton Mennonite Church to accept the position of Chaplain at the McMaster University Medical Centre. This provided him the opportunity to continue in Supervised Pastoral Education, moving from acting supervisor to supervisor on 17 October 1975. He served as a supervisor in Supervised Pastoral Education with McMaster Divinity College and in a parish setting from 1975-1977, and was active in the Ontario Region of the Canadian Association for Pastoral Education.
In a paper on Clinical Pastoral Education, Herman stated "a theory for Clinical Pastoral Education must draw its inspiration from Jesus, the true liberator (Luke 4:18-19), the great physician who healed all manner of diseases, the enlightened teacher, who knew about emotional and spiritual renewal and rebirth, the faithful pastor whose congruent life style became a light along the way which He Himself opened up. Ile summarized His own reason for living: 'I am come that they might have life in all its fullness'." This also would be fitting summary of Herman Enns' vision.

Have Adele's New Album Title and 2015 Tour Been Confirmed?
Have Adele's new album title and 2015 tour been confirmed?
Yesterday (July 15), the official World Music Awards Twitter account tweeted the following:
Aside from the WMA Twitter account, however, there have been no confirmations regarding her third album's title, or any planned release dates. Adele herself has not confirmed anything on her official Twitter account.
Adele's other albums, '19' and '21,' were named after the ages in which she completed the albums. Back in May, when Adele turned 26, she cryptically tweeted, "Bye bye 25... See you again later in the year x." Does she mean that she plans on releasing '25' later in the year?
Another rumor that popped up in April claimed that Adele was readying her first comeback concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, with performances in New York City and Los Angeles to follow. The singer has not done a concert since 2011, except for performances at the 2012 Grammy Awards and the 2013 Academy Awards.
Adele was sidelined after a vocal-cord hemorrhage and needed surgery on her vocal cords. She has also been busy caring for son, Angelo, who turns two years old this October.
So while we haven't seen any other confirmations about Adele's upcoming album or tour, the signs and rumors do seem to point to Adele blowing us all away again soon.
UPDATE: Billboard reports that Beggars Group, the parent company to Adele's XL Recordings, says there is "no truth in this."

A day off from school from a snow storm that would not give much pause to those of more mountainous regions. But I shall not complain of the wimpy Okies, after all, I have been relieved of a day of law school classes. Last semester just about killed me from the sheer amount of information I was reviewing and trying to keep in my head. This semester the amount has decreased, but the problem is how incredibly dry this semester's classes are. Tell me if this doesn't sound like a snore: Corporations Law, Debtor and Creditor Law, Administration Law, Agency Law, and Constitutional Law II. My rear fell asleep just from having to type it. How shall I ever endure?
We work again on Saturday at the temple. This will be our second go of it. It has been interesting for me to think about the administering of the temple, rather than just the receiving of the ordinances and that which takes place in the temple. This Tuesday, a couple from our ward received their endowments and were sealed right after. It was beautiful. There is a certain spirit that comes from it when it is for somebody live.
Here are a couple of thoughts as we have been reading. We have just completed Exodus and are plowing our way through Leviticus. Some of them are very interesting and fascinating, others just wear and you have to skim read.
"And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office." Exodus 40:12-13. "And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and Thummim. And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the Lord commanded Moses." Leviticus 8:6-9.
So the sons of Aaron are to be presented at the tabernacle to be washed with water, anointed with oil, and clothed in the holy garments. All this to be done to sanctify him and that he may minister. So this is the line of Aaron, or descendants of Levi, that have this privilege. Why was this privilege confined only to the sons of Aaron in his time? Was it available to all before Moses and Aaron? When would it be restored to all worthy lines?
What exactly do all these emblems, or parts of clothing mean? What was their symbolism then, and how does that translate to you and me?
I guess the other question I have is what degree of the Mosaic Law was done away with? Nobody seems to argue that the 10 Commandments were done away with by Jesus Christ. Sure, the higher law technically is in force, but the lesser law, or the school master it was still pointed to the higher law. The whole Mosaic Law was pointing to that last a great blood sacrifice, namely the atonement of Jesus Christ.
"Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice, and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop to the shedding of blood; then shall the law of Moses be fulfilled; yea, it shall be all fulfilled, every jot and tittle, and none shall have passed away." Alma 34:13.
I always found the idea of the law being fulfilled, not passing away, to be an interesting though. It shall be fulfilled, but not pass away. Does that mean the spirit of the law still applies, but the actual outward ordinances done away. I believe that is precisely what is meant.
The whole Mosaic Law was not something that was new. It also was something that just disappeared overnight. "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." Galatians 3:24-25.
"Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses: for it was expedient that they should keep the law of Moses as yet, for it was not all fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses was a type of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them. Now they did not suppose that salvation came by the law of Moses: but the law of Moses did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ; and thus they did retain a hope through faith, unto eternal salvation, relying upon the spirit of prophecy, which spake of those things to come." Alma 25:15-16 (Between 90-77 BC).
The Law of Moses is the underpinning, and outward manifestation of our current law. I would supplement your understanding of our law, a good study of the Law of Moses can be insightful. After all, it was a schoolmaster for thousands of years.
"Their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations." Exodus 40:15.

Jarred Cosart, the Phillies' top pitching prospect, will not pitch for the remainder of the season due to an elbow injury he suffered in June.
Phillies assistant general manager Chuck LaMar said he's hopeful Cosart will be ready to pitch when the fall instructional league begins Sept. 20. The Phillies were concerned enough by Cosart's injury to send him to renowned orthopedist James Andrews in early July. Andrews did not recommend surgery.
The Phillies had been hopeful Cosart, 20, could pitch at either single-A Lakewood or for one of the low-minors Florida clubs before the season ended. Instead, they will play it safe and hold Cosart out.
"We won't activate him during the year," LaMar said. "He'll be ready to throw in the instructional league."
Cosart will remain at the Phillies' complex in Clearwater, Fla., to continue his rehab. LaMar said Andrews' instructed the Phillies to give Cosart a few weeks off from throwing. The team will take it a step further.
Baseball America rated Cosart in the bottom half of its midseason top 50 prospect rankings. In 14 starts with Lakewood, Cosart was 7-3 with a 3.79 ERA. He struck out 77 and walked 16. The righthander was supposed to pitch in the Futures Game in Anaheim, Calif., but did not participate because of the elbow injury.

Toilets (commodes) by definition are large bowls for urinating or defecating into, typically plumbed into a sewage (sewer) system and with a flushing mechanism. Sinks (kitchens & bathrooms) are a fixed basins with a water supply and a drain. Showers and their drains are an enclosure in which a person stands under a spray of water to wash. The shower head apparatus in a shower that produces the spray of water is also a top seven fixture that causes plumbing problems. Your dishwasher is a machine for washing dishes automatically and not a person employed to wash dishes like my mother thought. Washing machines are for washing clothes, bed linens, etc. At times plumbing repair problems are not from plumbing that's inside your walls, but the hoses connected behind it this appliance. Bathtubs are tubs filled with water (each gallon about 9lbs), usually installed in a bathroom, in which to bathe. This weight can cause bathroom construction material to flex or bow causing minute places where water can leak through. Drains (rather, their clogs) cause the water in tub or sink or shower to run out, leaving it empty or less full. Garbage Disposals grind up wasted or spoiled food and other organic refuse from your kitchen or household into elements small enough to wash down a drain into a sewer system. Plumbing repair service is what we do.
Home warranties sound like a great idea when appliances go bad. They seem to limit the cost of repair. It's just like insurance... Right? Our experience with home warranty companies comes down to two things. Firstly, read your home warranty contract about your appliance maintenance responsibilities. Next, read the online reviews. These home warranty reviews offer a glimpse into the future by peering into the home warranty company's past.
However, if the home warranty company approves your claim, they will only be responsible for that plumbing repair or appliance repair. Any subsequent water damage due to a ruptured or busted pipe is your responsibility to claim through your home owners insurance policy.
Did you know that on 9-24-2014, Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens ordered a Nevada-based company to stop selling unauthorized home warranty policies in Georgia. Read full order...
According to This Old House.com, hiring a qualified plumber comes with a warning about service verses price and how to avoid getting soaked by hiring an experienced, licensed pro. The leak from a pipe fitting that costs less than a dollar can easily cause thousands of dollars in water damage, disrupt your household for weeks, and throw your remodel way off schedule. So hiring a licensed, insured master plumber (or a well-trained apprentice working under his license) is a no-brainer. But not all plumbers handle all types of work. Their duties break out into two categories: Plumbers who handle basic repairs (often in emergency situations), and plumbers who specialize in remodeling projects and additions. Read full article... How to find a master plumber and check the current standing of their State of Georgia license can be found at the state plumbing board. Be sure to search for a "plumber near me".
Plumbers working in all kinds of financial situations. Home owners' associations seem to be most difficult. Landlord/tenant disputes are second. Thirdly, is the new home owner who may have been snaked into believing all's well but only to find out that the dishwasher does't drain, toilets are slow to flush and the water pressure to the shower is too low to start singing. Documentation is the key. Call us. We can offer guidance.
Sewage backing up (may be already backed up) into the bathtub is one of the most unpleasant things a homeowner may discover upon entering a finished basement or first floor bathroom. Bathtub filling with raw sewage usually happens when your septic system fails and sewage that is supposed to flow into the septic tank backs up into the lowest level of your home overflowing bathtubs and toilets. Bathtub sewage backup may also happen if your main drain is blocked. The cause for bathtub sewage overflow from your septic tank can be quickly handled by state certified septic tank pumping company. Do not flush or run water anywhere in the house. If you decide to use a shop vac and empty into buckets (careful of parasites) do NOT pour it into the sink! If drain cleaner chemicals were poured into your tub and it didn't help, always remember that those drain-clearing (clear a drain) chemicals are highly toxic! Use caution and always inform the company who pumps your tank know what line clearing chemical was recently used.
Unclogging lavatory toilets or how to unclog my toilet are common search terms just before a follow up search includes a plumbing repair company near me. Toilets (commodes) overflowing is the most common cause of residential sewage damage. Toilets overflowing is usually a result of a septic backup, a blocked drain, or the most recent flush is still flushing. Avoid septic system failure by performing regular maintenance and avoid drain blockage by not flushing items such as sanitary wipes, cat litter, condoms and other things that are not intended to be flushed. Did you know that clear water from inside the toilet bowl can be just as contaminated as dirty water? Give us a call when a plunger just won't do.
Water heater repair or hot water heater repair has the objective of comfort. Showers and baths can be taken in cold water (unheated), but just takes the pleasure out of things. For the most part, water heaters cannot be repaired internally and must be replaced. For the plumbers or plumbing companies that read this, your customer may actually have some ideas about what replacement water heater parts needed. Here is a full list of water heater parts that may be need whetn replacing or repairing: Check for tank warranty, installation warranty, T&P valve, new gas control valve protection. Recycle old water heater for cash. Lever action emergency for gas & water shut-off, easy flush water system, annual precision tune-up, new combustion venting connectors, heat trap, sediment build-up reducer, fire sheild / flame trap, annual sediment flushing, energy regulator, Electronic leak alert, floor & ceiling saver, long life element.
Metro Atlanta Consumers: Water Heater Notice: For household use, most water heaters in the United States are of the tank type. Household tank water heaters, also called storage water heaters, can range in size from 20 to 100 gallons (75 to 400 liters). Plumbing repair service is what we do.
The plumbing industry is a very important factor in any developed economy, and it cannot be done without. Otherwise, there will be chaos in household systems, including that in commercial establishments. The need for clean water and proper collection and disposal of wastes makes it a necessary and vital part of our human existence. As such, the growth of plumbing companies has surged. Don't forget to search for plumbers (plummers) near me.
Plumbing repair emergencies usually mean that a waterline has ruptured spewing water on floors, walls, ceilings. Another type of plumbing repair emergency means that a sewer or sewage pipe has broken causing extensive need to fix that broken drain pipe or commode. Many homeowners and occupants must deal with this repair situation instantly and cannot wait. This is where we come in. Our plumbing repair team is available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. We are your plumbing repair emergency company in Dunwoody.
Home Warranties, Service plans....Home warranty companies have been providing repair and replacement services for home appliances and systems to consumers since the 1970s. While homebuilders are required to provide a warranty for newly built homes in many states, owners of existing homes can purchase a home warranty to cover items such as heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical systems and appliances in their homes. Many home sellers and real estate agents buy a home warranty as a buyers' incentive. Warranties can provide peace of mind for homeowners, but they must understand the limits of their coverage so they're not surprised by service fees and other out-of-pocket costs. Read full article.
Frozen sewage in drainline pipes can happen because cold weather and pipes are not always the best of friends. Cold weather can lead to frozen pipes and ultimately lead to some pretty extensive sewage and water damage. Just like ice cubes in a freezer, water expands when it freezes. The expansion in pipes puts a huge amount of pressure on pipes leading to pipes bursting. When pipes burst from being frozen, it sends many gallons of waste water into a home or business. Since the pipes are still frozen in the mornings, the evidence of a busted pipe or frozen pipe is not realized until temperatures reach a thawing level. This temperature increase usually happens while you are at work. Filing an insurance claim is order for these emergency pipe repair and home flooding situation.
The drainage pipes that are most likely to freeze in the frigid temperatures are the ones located on outside walls, under a sink, in attics, or in an unheated crawlspace. There are a few reasons a pipe might freeze; a sudden drop in temperature, not having the heat set high enough, or not having the right amount of insulation. As State Farm says on their website, "Both plastic and copper pipes can burst when they freeze, and recovering from frozen pipes is not as simple as calling a plumber. A 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can spew up to 250 gallons of water a day, causing flooding, serious structural damage, and the immediate potential for mold." http://learningcenter.statefarm.com/residence/maintenance/preventing-frozen-pipes/index.html
Plumbing repair also must take into consideration local plumbing codes. Plumbing codes bring an old building or update its features in line with the latest building regulations. Many plumbing repairs can be performed by handymen, but all the major items of repair need to consider the resale value of your home and performed by state certified plumbers.. Sometimes, it costs too much to go cheap. Commodes even have codes.
Plumbing repair is described as the need to fix or mend your pipes after damage. The only way that you know that you need plumbing repair is that a sympton of a less functional on non-working system (plumbing leak). Plumbing is the system of pipes, tanks, fittings, and other apparatus required for the water supply, heating, and sanitation in a building. Plumbing is also the work of installing and maintaining plumbing systems. Lastly, plumbing can be informally used as a humorous euphemism for the excretory tracts and urinary system. Toilets back up (backup) causing emergencies to unclog, garbage disposals leak, faucets and sinks also leak just like dishwashers. Sewer and water lines have their own flavor of plumbing repair help. Drains need cleaning. Slabs leak (pipes underneath). Let's hope the construction of your home or business is not your black water line. This could lead to nasty and contaminated toilet water spill seeping up or backed up toilet. Any of these plumbing problems can leave you with a completely flooded home (house) or business (office). Take note, that plumbers or a plumbing repair company in Dunwoody is usually not certified to help with cleanup, removal, extraction, or remediation. Plumbers repair your pipe emergency and sewage cleanup and removal companies clean up the mess. Quick response 24 hours a day.

Dunwoody water heater replacement is offered is for gas or electric water heaters. Many replace water heaters as an act of maintenance. Most replace water heaters due to a problem such as the lack of hot water, leaking, or making noise. In either case, water heaters are our business. How much does it cost to replace and install a water heater? There are a few steps to consider. Draining the water heater, disconnecting the water heater, delivering the new one, installing it, and filling and testing. If water heater is gas, then reconnecting the gas line will be in order. Water heater installation should only be performed by certified plumbers.
Bathroom Plumbing Repair is the most common cause of residential sewage damage. Toilets overflowing is usually a result of a septic backup, a blocked drain, or the most recent flush is still flushing. Avoid septic system failure by performing regular maintenance and avoid drain blockage by not flushing items such as sanitary wipes, cat litter, condoms and other things that are not intended to be flushed. You will not have overflowing toilets! If you believe your toilet (commode) is about to overflow (rising sewage water in the toilet bowl), you can prevent devastating sewage damage or limit sewage contamination. According to Wikipedia, a drain (plumbing) is a fixture that provides an exit-point for waste water. Over the years, we have seen drain lines made of cast iron (older homes) PVC and CPVC drain piping. Bathtub and shower repair and installation, water pressure issues, faucet repair and replacement, showerhead repair and replacement, leaky pipes and fixtures, clogged drains, shower and tub retrofitting, water pipe relocation, low-flow showerheads and faucets, walk-in bathtub connections, and even high-tech options for showers and bathtubs.

Plumbing repair tips before you contract for plumbing repairs. There are certain things you should know. First of all, Georgia now has, under the auspices of the Secretary of State, a State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors (see O.C.G.A. Sections 43-41-1 through 43-41-17). See Georgia's Department of Law Consumer Protection Division. More plumbing repair tips and information to come.
Pump septic tanks every three years. This pumping service removes solids and keeps them from entering your field lines.
Locate the septic tank and septic tank lid before hiring the pumping company; they charge for this service. Ask for the cost of extra water to pump my septic tank before the pumper starts pumping your tank.
You might have seen recent advertisements for tankless water heaters. What are they, and are they a good deal? Will you really save both money and energy through the use of a tankless water heater? While these are good questions, unfortunately there are no simple answers.
How They Operate
Tankless water heaters, also known as demand heaters, have been used in the United States for over 25 years. Unlike conventional water heaters, tankless water heaters work by heating the water as it is needed. This can be accomplished through either an electric or a gas unit, which has a heating device to deliver a continuous supply of hot water as needed. By eliminating the standby heat loss associated with conventional water heaters (the cost of keeping hot water always available for use), proponents tout tankless water heaters as being more energy-efficient.
Types and Sizing
A tankless water heater can be purchased as either a point-of-use unit or a whole-house unit. The point-of-use unit is less expensive, since it is dedicated to a specific use in a smaller area, such as servicing one sink or faucet. A whole-house unit has a higher flow rate, which enables it to handle a larger hot-water demand. The purchase price of a whole-house unit runs from several hundred dollars for an electric model to several thousand dollars for a gas model.
Units must be properly sized in order to deliver the amount of hot water needed in a home. The flow rate of the unit will determine how much water it can deliver at a particular temperature. The flow rate in your home is a calculation based upon how many fixtures (such as faucets and appliances) are demanding hot water. As more hot-water faucets are turned on at the same time, more water flows through the heater. When this happens, water may leave the heater before it gets to the desired temperature. Therefore, the size of a unit or the number of units a home needs should be based on the water-flow rate at peak demand.
It is also important to ensure that fixtures are in compliance with local, state and federal flow-rate requirements or guidelines. For example, the Federal Energy Policy Act of 1992 required all faucets and shower fixtures made in the United State after 1992 to have a flow rate of no more than 2.2 gallons per minute (GPM). The effectiveness of a tankless water heater system could be compromised if faucets or shower fixtures are operating at a flow rate other than what was assumed.
Other factors that will affect the size of the unit or the number of units needed include the temperature of the incoming water and the desired temperature of the hot water. The incoming water temperature is obviously lower in a cold climate, such as Michigan, than the temperature of water entering homes located in a warm climate like Georgia.
Factors to Consider Before Buying
Benefits of a tankless water heater: Estimated to use 10 to 20 percent less energy than conventional tank-type water heaters. Occupies less floor space than a conventional water heater. The equipment is durable and, since it does not store water, is subject to less corrosion than a conventional water heater, thereby lasting longer. A continuous supply of hot water. Drawbacks of a tankless water heater: The purchase price is greater than a tank-type water heater. Installation in an existing home may involve additional costs. Extra venting hoods for gas models, replacement of existing gas lines with larger ones, additional electrical circuit-breakers, or the need to purchase a second tankless water heater to accommodate simultaneous use of hot water at multiple sites are potential expenses that might not be evident until after installation begins. Some consumers have experienced difficulty in locating a plumber or technician who is knowledgeable about the maintenance and repair of tankless water units. Consequently, a service call could cost you more, due to the limited supply of trained technicians. Electric tankless units appear to be less powerful than the gas units and require an ample supply of electricity. Installing an electric tankless water heater may cause an increase in your monthly electric usage. Also, the heavy demand of electricity may cause an overload on household electric panels. Some research has suggested that a heavily-insulated conventional water heater may be as energy-efficient as some tankless water units. One of the advantages of having a tankless water unit is the continuous supply of hot water. However, this feature may affect your water usage. If you never ran out of hot water, would you take a longer shower, thereby increasing the amount of hot water you use in a month? Based on industry averages, water heating accounts for 20 to 25 percent of a household's annual energy expenditure. Yearly operating costs for conventional water heaters average from $200 for gas to $800 for electric. Standby losses associated with a conventional water heater appliance represent approximately 15 percent of these yearly expenditures. You can use these estimates to compare potential energy savings with the use of a tankless water unit versus a conventional water heater.
As with any other major purchase, doing the necessary research in advance helps you make an educated, well-informed decision and avoid any "buyer's remorse" once the sale is consummated. There is no right or wrong answer. Factors unique to each consumer household, such as the water consumption level, the availability of a gas or electric connection, and water temperature preferences, will affect whether or not a tankless water heater is the right choice for you and whether it would be more cost-effective than a conventional water heater.

So Here Is My Top 10 Least Favorite Things From 2008
10. Will Solomon/Roko Ukic Signings- I am a T.J Ford fan I have never made that a secret. But I was o.k with the choice the Raptors made to go with Jose. But I had thought it would mean the signing of an experienced back-up point guard to replace T.J. Instead we got a combo guard that played in Europe and had little NBA run. Along with that a rookie that as good as he may become was not ready to play a meaningful role as a back-up right at the start of his NBA Career
9. Joey Graham- I mean will it ever end. Time after time we are sucked into thinking maybe this will be the year for Joey Graham. Well another year and another flash of hope from Joey and the same old Bad Joey keeps coming back. When Joey Graham in 2009 is not re-signed by the Raptors that will make my favourite things of 2009.
8. Nathan Jawai's Heart Trouble- I know I was in a very small minority but I really thought and still do think Nathan Jawai can have a big impact on the Raptors. But a health issue with the big man's heart would sideline him for the entire 2008 part of the schedule. I am hopefully Nate get himself on the floor in 2009. I think everyone will be surprised at how good he can become.
7. Sam Mitchell Era Ends- I had always liked Sam and to see his career in Toronto come to a very fast and ugly end with that game in Denver was truly disappointing. I miss his humour and presence that I had grown use to on a daily basis. Despite wanting what is best for Jay Triano and the Raptors, I still will always enjoy Sam Mitchell and what he did for the organization. He just didn't seem like the old Sam anymore and it may have been the building pressure leading up to his firing. But being the classy person that Sam is we will never know for sure.
6. Hassan Adams Signing- Why?...Nothing else is required.
5. T.J Ford Getting Traded- Yes I support the trade and I understand the reasons why T.J was moved. But he was my favourite player on the Raptors and it was a sad day for me personally. So in honour of that he gets the #5 spot on the list for his new number with the Pacers.
4. Game 1 and 5 In Orlando- These were the most painful games to watch in a series that did not show much from the Toronto Raptors. Beyond a Game 3 last performance for the ages from Forderon it was a train wreck of a series. It would be the lead to all the changes that have not been successful to this point.
3. Andrea Bargnani- I like most are frustrated and wonder if it is time to accept that Andrea Bargnani is just not going to work in Toronto. He is talented but lacks confidence and it never seems to change. I am just wondering if he can ever turn out to have the type of career people want from him here in Toronto. I am thinking he can't.
2. TSN 2 Nonsense- I am still surprised that we are talking about this at this point. If someone had told me that this issue would not have been solved heading into 2009, I would have told them they were crazy but here we sit. I am not interested in who is to blame or even why at this point. I just think it is insulting to fans of the Raptors and basketball. Hopefully we are not still talking about this at the end of 2009. I know that seems nuts to say. But hey it seems nuts that we are still talking about it now.
1. Vince Carter Sticks It To Us Again- The loss to the Nets at the A.C.C may be looked back on as the turning point that sent this season off track. People wonder why Raptor fans still boo Vince and hate him still. It is these moments that won't let the anger and pain go away.
That is my list but I am sure people have many others and feel free to leave your list of best or worst moments in the comments.
Not Exactly The Million Man March
Well it was a small little protest at Rogers when all was said and done. Apparently fans may be angry about TSN 2 mess but not so angry that many would venture out into the cold streets of Toronto. But I still respect the effort that Andrew Ebanks was making. I interviewed him and made folks aware of what he was doing and I feel good about that. Hey it did not go without any attention. Andrew actually was featured in an article in the Globe and Mail. I was contacted by Bill Houston who writes for them and helped him get in touch with Andrew. The Dino Nation Blog got a small mention in the article which was nice. I think with all things Raptors apathy is settling in over the Raptors. That is not a good thing for the folks at MLSE and this TSN 2 matter as I have said is not going to help in reversing that apathy. Here is the article on Andrew and I admire his conviction to his cause.
Globe And Mail -Bill Houston Article
At Least You Won't Remember Tonight's Game?
I could do a preview and give you a bunch of stats for this game tonight at the ACC but basically it really doesn't matter. If the Raptors don't remember the beating they took in Denver the fact Jay Triano is the coach should serve as a reminder. If they can not get fired up for this game really we are in more trouble than we know. It will not be any easier to beat the Rockets or Magic. J.O left the last game after bumping knees with a Warrior and having the flu. So I am guessing he will be back tonight unless that knee bump was much more serious. Everything points to a Raptor loss if you ask me. But I have learned in watching this team over the years that when everyone thinks they will lose that is when they come up with a surprising effort. But hey if it doesn't happen it is New Year's Eve so if you are planing on going out and partying you likely won't remember anyway.
Have fun and be safe...I want all of my readers back in 2009.....So Happy New Year to all of you and the best of everything for you and the people you care about.

New York — Town Sports International (TSI) saw substantial growth in the last quarter with a reported 8 percent same-store growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Moreover, for the year ended December 31, 2001, consolidated revenues were at $283.3 million compared to $225.0 million for 2000, up nearly 26 percent.
"It's rewarding that TSI continues its membership growth in a difficult economic environment," said Mark Smith, chairman of TSI. "I believe fitness offerings remain a strong segment of the economy and that people have shown a desire to continue memberships in their health club."
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2001 were $72.4 million, an increase of $10.6 million, or 17 percent over the same quarter of 2000. During the quarter, TSI's mature clubs (those in operation for 24 months or longer) experienced revenue growth of $4.4 million or 8.4 percent over the prior year's quarter.
"In the fourth quarter we ramped up our marketing efforts and we've seen positive results," said Richard Pyle, CFO for TSI. "In a time of economic instability and global security concerns, the message from health care professionals that stress and depression might be staved by physical activity serves as a strong endorsement of our product. The public continues to choose a healthy lifestyle."
The company hopes to continue that growth in 2002 by adding new programming, marketing and other initiatives. One of the first moves to that end has been teaming with the Xercize Corp., a New York-based fitness company, to introduce new programming that capitalizes on the demand for Pilates-based exercise, enhances its benefits, and introduces a new approach to this popular form of exercise.
Aimed at club members rather than dancers, the new programming offers a cross-conditioning system focusing on muscle efficiency through posture and core muscle endurance that includes resistance training, stretching, plyometric jumps, and progressive class formats, according to the Xercise Corp.
"Our Group Exclusives are consistently booked and our waiting lists are full," stated Gerard Calvo, director of program development for TSI. "The program has been a huge success. Our members are serious about fitness, and this is a serious program."
The new Floorwork programming, to be launched in early 2002 incorporates the use of an IM=X Ring, a small, lightweight, resilient hoop that provides resistance for strength development. The Ring is used to strengthen the arms, shoulders, back, legs and hips. The program provides strength and flexibility benefits for the entire body, with particular emphasis on the spine stabilization system, or "core" abdominal and back muscles.
"We are using the ring in new ways never seen before in Pilates-based exercise," said McNergney. "Our programs are unique and aggressive, designed to help members get the results they are looking for which encourages retention, referrals, and financial success for the clubs."

Northern Michigan University offers a variety of housing options. Most freshman and sophomore students are required to live in a residence hall. Students may request an apartment if they meet one of the following requirements: at least 21 years old, a veteran, junior status (at least 56 credits), or have lived in a residence hall for four semesters. Family housing is available for students that are married and/or have children.
- Residence Hall Rates
- Single Student Apartment Rates
- Student Family Apartment Rates
- Summer Apartment Rates
Residence Hall Room Damages
At the beginning of each year, your residence hall staff will inventory your room and note all needed repairs. You and your roommate will have the opportunity to review this Room Inventory and add any damages or repairs your RA may have missed. After this inventory has been completed and checked by you and your roommate, you and your roommate will be held responsible for any and all damages other than what is noted on the inventory.
During the move-out process, the inventory will be checked by your resident adviser and the responsibility for any damages or missing items will be assessed against you, your roommate or both of you, depending on who takes responsibility for the damaged or missing items. If neither you nor your roommate takes responsibility, the charge is equally split between the two of you. The money collected as a result of these billings goes toward the repair/replacement (including labor cost) of the damaged or missing item(s).
Apartment Charges
- Student families pay per month
- Single students pay per semester
When you move into your apartment you will receive a packet of information that highlights information about your apartment area including who your community adviser is and an apartment inventory form. Take the time to look over your apartment to identify the condition of the apartment before you move in. When you move out the Housing and Residence Life staff will assess the condition of your apartment upon your departure and assess charges accordingly.

In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, the earth quakes, oceans burst forth, and well-known landscapes crack and crumble, as the ancient dragon aspect Deathwing makes his destructive return to the mortal realms. Unlike earlier WoW expansions, which add new continents for players to explore, Cataclysm reshapes the game's original world of Azeroth, permanently altering many familiar locations across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Some world regions become more dangerous, some are made more accessible, and some reveal forgotten treasures to challenge the game's most powerful heroes.
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is the third of four expansions for the wildly popular MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game), World of Warcraft. Cataclysm introduces entirely new areas as well as updating the game overall and revamping the original areas. As an expansion it received wide renown, generally getting ratings of 9/10 and up. The expansion was revealed accidentally in February of 2010 and officially unveiled in May of the same year; it was released on December 7, 2010.
Cataclysm expanded the leveling system from 80 up to 85 and introduced two new races, one for each main faction. The Alliance gets the Worgen while the Horde receives Goblins. The new races come with new abilities, skills and story lines; Cataclysm also gives more in-depth back stories to the original eight races.
The expansion adds a ton of new content, with IGN's review stating that you can "expect to play for well over a hundred hours before you've really touched upon everything Cataclysm has to offer." Ten new dungeons and five new raids have been added along with 3,500 new available quests, and other quests have been restructured and improved. Archaeology was also added as a new secondary skill.
It also brought a huge update to the game, with major redesign of the original two continents with new areas and a somewhat different appearance, as well as allowing for flying mounts which weren't in mind during the original WoW release. The UI (user interface) was also updated as were the graphics for the game.
The plot for Cataclysm revolves around the reawakening of a dragon that hasn't been seen for two in-game decades (an aspect of the dragon appeared during the real-time strategy game Warcraft II). The dragon, formerly known as Neltharion the Earth-Warder, makes a return as Deathwing the Destroyer. The game also makes use of the current political atmospheres of the Horde and Alliance factions, which saw a number of changes with the new expansion pack due to Blizzard's habit of having expansions reveal in-game history in the making.
Reception of the expansion was extremely good. 3.3 million copies were sold within 24 hours of release, putting it second all-time in one-day sales. Anecdotally, the game in the number one spot, Diablo III, was created by the same developer (Blizzard Entertainment). Metacritic, the aggregate ratings company, gave it a 90/100, which usually means universal acclaim. IGN gave it a 9/10 and is cited as saying that, "Cataclysm is far and away the most impressive expansion to an MMO ever made." GameSpot rated it 8.5/10.
Essentially, Cataclysm is a good expansion to a well-loved MMO. The millions of sales should tell you that if nothing else. If you're a fan of MMOs and RPG-type games, or already are playing World of Warcraft, this may well be worth your time and money. It prices for $10 on the Blizzard Store website.

Miikka Hast in Japan. Photo by Jani Karppa
Jones team rider Miikka Hast is a true powder hunter. From Norway to Canada to Japan to AK, Miikka is always on the search for the best snow conditions on Earth.
This winter has been no exception. Miikka has been getting after it. He started his season splitboarding by head lamp near the Arctic Circle in Tamok, Norway before storm chasing to Japan in January.
Protest Outerwear's 'Stories From Here to There' series captures some amazing views of Miikka's Tamok mission with Jonas Hagstom. Miikka also shared some really interesting thoughts about the Tamok trip on his blog - WWW.SPLITLINES.COM
"My powder season started where the last one ended - Tamok, Norway. The terrain was familiar but the time and day were completely different from spring. The sun does not rise above the horizon during December and January. Night reigns the early winter in these latitudes. Only northern lights and stars light up the black stage when clouds are not playing curtains to the show. The riding has to be well timed since there is only few hours of daylight. Headlamps light the way up before the dim daylight starts to glow on the mountains. You want to be riding down when the short day is at it's brightest. When the sky is clear, the light is really unique and beautiful…"

Miikka returned to Niigata, Japan this January. It was Miikka's third trip to Niigata so he knew to bring the Hovercraft and the Ultracraft. Here he is cutting loose on the Ultracraft with a FS3. Photo by Jani Karppa.

In the wake of a court ruling requiring the California State Assembly to issue records of its members budget, Transparency this morning issued the following statement through his public relations firm, Black Box Strategies:
"The press and Assemblyman Anthony Portantino have declared this ruling a victory for me, Transparency.
"But I don't feel like celebrating.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"Why, you might ask? Three reasons.
"First off, part of my problem is how I'm treated in general. I'm the battered spouse of political values. Everyone says they love Transparency, but everyone beats me when they themselves have to be transparent.
"Second, I'm a great value, but I'm of two minds about Transparency in a legislative body. Yes, legislative records are public records, and they should be made public. But making legislation is like making sausage--to get it done, you can't have people looking at it while you make it. It's hard enough to get deals, particularly in a system as complicated as California's, even without transparency. So while things like budgets for lawmakers should be public, certain records of legislators should become public only after the passage of a little bit of time.
"Third and finally, this whole hubbub about Transparency of budgets is small stuff. The amount of money is nothing -- it adds up to millions of dollars. The California budget is billions out of whack. It's so bad that they're going to announce automatic trigger cuts next week to schools-- those cuts will probably be $2 billion.
"It's madness to be obsessing about me in times like this. Heck, I'm not even thinking about Transparency right now. I'm thinking of what I'm going to do with my kids when school ends an extra week early in the spring. Transparency doesn't have many high-quality child care options.
"Until the state solves these big problems, I should remain a secondary concern."

Notebooks Guide
Lenovo Thinkpad X300 - The Svelte Notebook
Lenovo ThinkPad X300 - The Svelte Notebook
Almost two weeks ago, we found ourselves reading an article from Business Week , citing Lenovo's Senior Vice-President Peter Hortensius fitting the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 into an interoffice mail envelope in response to the unveiling of the MacBook Air at Macworld 2008. Today, at the Lenovo X300 launch event, we got a chance to admire the X300 in all its slim glory earlier on, sans the envelope test (though we really should have tried that).
Envelope test aside, all we had to do was pick up the X300, or known internally by its initial code name "Kodachi", to find ourselves loving the whole form factor. However slim and lightweight the X300 may be though, it is by no means flimsy as Lenovo has been able to retain the ruggedness and solid build quality that are hallmarks of the ThinkPad series. The X300 even features Lenovo's next generation roll cage design for added durability.
Specification-wise, the X300 sports quite an impressive set of technologies. It is one of the first few notebooks to feature Intel's new Core 2 Duo SL7100 low voltage processor, which was designed to fit into this new breed of ultra-thin notebooks. This is similar to the processor Intel shrunk specifically for the MacBook Air, but not the same model. The SL7100 on the Lenovo X300 operates at 1.2GHz, while the MacBook Air features 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz processors.
The rest of the standard configuration include 1GB of DDR2 RAM (upgradable to 4GB), Intel GMA X3100 graphics, a sinfully thin 13.3-inch LED backlit TFT screen and it even manages to squeeze in an internal DVD burner. The X300 comes preloaded with either Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Ultimate or the rollback choice of Windows XP Pro.
In the local context, connectivity options for the X300 will include Bluetooth 2.0 and Intel's Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG wireless adapter. The X300 will also feature an Ethernet port as well as three USB 2.0 ports. It even boasts WiMax and HSDPA support as well, but these features are only to be found in X300's sold in the United States for now. They will not be included in models coming into the Singapore market, which we attribute to the absence of a WiMax infrastructure here.
Depending on configuration, the X300 starts off as a 1.33kg ultra-lightweight with a somewhat limited 3-cell Li-Polymer battery, and reaches 1.59kg if one were to opt for the standard-sized 6-cell Li-Ion battery. A stronger battery lifespan is heavily featured on the X300, which works in tandem with a 64GB solid state drive (SSD) delivering greater power efficiency and shock resistance.
Sadly though, options for a higher capacity hard disk drive are currently not in the works. From what we understand, Lenovo will only be retaining support for SSD drive options on the X300 for now.

From what we've seen, the Lenovo X300 is set to be a premium device under Lenovo's branding, and the initial pricing starts off at S$4,412. Today, the X300 is only available via Lenovo's business partners, with an expected full retail release in the month of March.
MacBook Air comparisons cannot be avoided for a product that has been hyped up to be the "MacBook Air killer" of the PC world, and while at first glance there are plenty of features on the X300 that are superior, there are compromises. After seeing the final specifications for the X300 today, we do have some reservations, especially the lack of any standard HDD options. It will be very interesting to see how the X300 truly stacks up when we are able to get our hands on an actual unit for some hands-on action.

Conservation and Environment in Costa Rica: Monthly Updates
Monthly Updates from 2014
2014 was a great year for us – the rainy season finished and the strong winds from the north heralded the coming summer. This means less water in the rivers, trees without leaves but full of flowers, and wildlife looking for spring water in the primary forest of the park.
From the last 2 months we have great reports from our projects and research. We have been working hard on two bat projects, our camera traps have taken amazing photos and videos, and our terrace is has been completed.
This month was an unusually dry month considering that it is currently the wet season in Costa Rica. Normally during this season, it rains almost every day but, in August, we have hardly had any rain at all. Nevertheless, the climate is tropical so very humid and we still sweat a lot during work. We continue in our work to build a terrace for the volunteers and we are also finishing the bio-gardens at the schools.
The last few weeks at Barra Honda have been busy. We are in the last stages of many projects and are also starting new projects. However, we are worried because we are waiting for rain. This rain was expected to start in May and many mammals in the park need it for survival.
With the onset of the rainy season in the north of the country the end of the wildfire season in the Barra Honda National Park comes as well, however, there were still fires in places like Las Delicias and the Flower Hill. The staff of Projects Abroad is part of the group fighting forest fires in the park.
We continue working to obtain the ecological blue flag for all the schools around the Barra Honda National Park. But what is the blue flag? The blue flag is a prize awarded by the Costa Rican government to schools that demonstrate environmental awareness and teach sustainable development and it is here that we at Projects Abroad participate by giving talks and workshops on nature and how to protect it.

Ian Ziering and Tara Reid are reuniting for "Sharknado 2: The Second One." RedEye offers its suggestions for the movie's fish bait, or the actors in cameo roles.
Syfy and production company The Asylum are casting for the cameos, so why not these folks?
- Derrick Rose, playing a repeatedly maimed man who pops up every 10 minutes with a new injury.
- WGN meteorologist Tom Skilling, playing the only meteorologist who forecasts a Sharknado, but no one believes him.
- Scarlett Johansson, as the voice of Sharkmantha, the talking shark.
- Norman Reedus, as the hero who has the chance to save April (Tara Reid) from certain shark doom, but walks away instead.
- Hologram Roy Scheider, as a former sheriff who delivers just one line: "Smile you son of a BITCH."
- The cast of "Real Housewives of New York City," and please, have them get eaten.
- San Jose Sharks captain Joe Thornton, as himself.
- Jerry "Tark the Shark" Tarkanian, just because.
"Sharknado 2: The Second One" begins production Feb. 13 in New York City, Syfy announce Thursday. Ziering and Reid will reprise their roles as Fin and April in the sequel to the flick that took a bite out of ratings last year.
In "The Second One," a freak weather system unleashes a Sharknado on New York City and its most iconic landmarks.
"Sharknado 2," scheduled to premiere in July on Syfy, will be directed by Anthony Ferrante from a screenplay by Thunder Levin. Both are responsible for the first disaster—the first "Sharknado," that is.
"'Sharknado' was an extraordinary perfect storm which captured the attention of movie fans across the globe," Thomas Vitale, Syfy's executive vice president of programming and original movies, said in a press release. "You couldn't go anywhere without hearing about 'Sharknado.' By reassembling the creative team—and dropping sharks onto New York's iconic sites—we're unleashing yet another fin wave of shark-mania."
I see what you did there, sir.
"We're thrilled to be able to bring back the talent that made 'Sharknado' a hit. Can lightning strike twice? I don't know, but it's a scientific fact that you're more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark," Paul Bales, COO of The Asylum, said in the same release. "This film will have lightning and sharks, so that's got to count for something."

Miami University cited as "rising star" in Fiske Guide to Colleges 2014
Architecture, business and music among strong programs cited
Miami University, called "the honors public university in one of the nation's largest states," is included in the Fiske Guide to Colleges' list of the "best and most interesting colleges and universities" in the country for 2014. The guide also recognizes Miami's architecture, business and music programs as being strong.
Colleges featured in the guide were selected with several broad principles in mind, beginning with academic quality. Miami has been ranked for more than 20 years in the Fiske Guide, which adds that Miami "is looked upon as one of the rising stars among state universities."
Noted for their strength are: Miami's architecture major, among 21 such programs at public universities; Miami's business program, one of 36 programs mentioned; and Miami's music program, recognized along with 24 other programs at major universities (public and private).
Miami is "tucked into a corner of Ohio and is gaining national recognition as an excellent state university that has the true look and feel of a private, with a picture-perfect campus and high-caliber student body," noted the guide. Miami is also recognized for its high study abroad rate, opportunities for undergraduate research and leadership and competitive athletics.
"The teachers are always pushing me to become a better student and person," said one Miami sophomore quoted in the guide.
Professors are lauded for their knowledge, willingness to help and passion for their subject. In addition, Fiske reported that 32 percent of Miami's classes have fewer than 19 students, with most taught by full professors.
The annual directory features 318 schools from more than 2,200 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. (plus eight from Canada and Great Britain).

Briana DeJesus, Alex Sekella, and Katie Yeager's crazy baby daddy drama continues to dominate Teen Mom 3. I find it utterly fascinating that Mackenzie Douthit – trees use oxygen more efficiently than this girl – comes across as the most stable and well-adjusted Teen Mom of this group.
This week, Mackenzie finds tumbling practice to be more exhausting than it used to be. Coach tries to put things into perspective for the young mom – she has the potential to cheer on a college level but she needs to be able to 1) practice on a that level while attending classes and taking care of Gannon and 2) pay for college. Mackenzie's banking on Josh McKee (and his already scrambled brains) on winning rodeos so she can be a cheerleader.
Next Katie discovers that Joey Maes overdrew their checking account, costing them $90 in bank fees, and she worries he's using their grocery money to buy drugs. Katie gets on Joey's case the second he walks through the door, as per usual, and he blows her off to play with Molli. Katie throws bank statements at Joey (and Molli) and they argue for the 300th time since the premiere.

A question my wife and I were chatting about last night.
Are there more multiples of 3 than there are of 17, if we count from 0 to infinity One point of view was since there are infinite multiples of 3 and infinite multiples of 17, the number of multiples are equal.
Another point of view was in a reasonable range of numbers, there are more multiples of 3 than 17
So are either of us right? Or are we both wrong

A common blood test, the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test reveals important information about how well your kidneys and liver are working. A BUN test measures the amount of urea nitrogen that's in your blood.
Here's how your body typically forms and gets rid of urea nitrogen:
A BUN test can reveal whether your urea nitrogen levels are higher than normal, suggesting that your kidneys or liver may not be working properly.
You may need a blood urea nitrogen test:
If kidney problems are the main concern, the creatinine levels in your blood will likely also be measured when your blood is tested for urea nitrogen levels. Creatinine is another waste product that healthy kidneys filter out of your body through urine. High levels of creatinine in your blood may be a sign of kidney damage.
Your doctor may also test how well your kidneys are removing waste from the blood. To do this, you may have a blood sample taken to calculate your estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The GFR estimates the percentage of kidney function you have left.
If your blood sample is being tested only for blood urea nitrogen, you can eat and drink normally before the test. If your blood sample will be used for additional tests, you may need to fast for a certain amount of time before the test. Your doctor will give you specific instructions.
During the blood urea nitrogen test, a member of your health care team takes a sample of blood by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm. The blood sample is sent to a lab for analysis. You can return to your usual activities immediately.
Results of the blood urea nitrogen test are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) in the United States and in millimoles per liter (mmol/L) internationally. In general, around 7 to 20 mg/dL (2.5 to 7.1 mmol/L) is considered normal.
But normal ranges may vary, depending on the reference range used by the lab, and your age. Ask your doctor to explain your results.
Urea nitrogen levels tend to increase with age. Infants have lower levels than other people do, and the range in children varies.
Generally, a high blood urea nitrogen level means your kidneys aren't working well. But elevated blood urea nitrogen can also be due to:
If kidney damage is a concern, ask your doctor what factors may be contributing to the damage and what steps you can take to try to control them.
