So Mr. McDavid has been tearing up his young counterparts over at an Edmonton prospects scrimmage, putting up 5 goals (4 nasty and one own goal by the defense; but let's face it, McDavid definitely planned it). Clearly showing his absolute dominance over players his age, the world is excited to see how he handles the show.
Now that Edmonton has a proven coach (proven, at least, to consistently get to the playoffs), a solid goaltender, and improved defense, there is no better time than the present for the Oilers to start making cup runs. Please save the arguments about Edmonton ruining 1st overall picks for another blog and I'll refrain from referring to PPG production in comparison to players in the same draft class.
CCM quickly scooped McDavid up to join the CCM family. So as we dive into Connor McDavid's hockey wardrobe, you should pretend to act a little surprised when we showcase his CCM equipment.

Skip to comments.ACCUWEATHER: 3,000 Low Temp Records Set This July!
Posted on 07/26/2009 8:40:17 AM PDT by Zakeet
Here are some stats and maps regarding the unusually cold July that is happening over a large portion of the U.S., especially the Northeast quadrant (yes, it's been unusually hot in the SW, see below). Note: Since I am on vacation at the end of the month, I will not be able to update these but AccuWeather.com will be running news articles about how cool July was in these areas, come the first week in August.
First, some stats. 1,044 daily record low temperatures have been broken this month nationwide according to NCDC -- count record "low highs" and the number increases to 2,925, surely to pass 3,000 before the end of the month. Some thoughts on the 'low highs" below.*
The period of July 17-20 was the worst, with over 1,600 stations breaking records. It's worth noting that these stats include all records across the nation. Of the record lows, through July 20th (thanks to William Schmitz @ SERCC, check out their Twitter Feed), this was the regional breakdown:
Nationwide: 966
Southeast (AL/GA/FL/NC/SC/VA): 248
Northeast (MD/DE/PA/NJ/NY/CT/RI/MA/NH/VT/ME): 193
Even if you zoom out to the U.S. you'll see the majority of stations are reporting departures below normal thus far -- only Arizona, New Mexico and Texas have all stations reporting above normal.
(Excerpt) Read more at accuweather.com ...
Global Cooling, caused by Global Warming, is now becoming a major problem
Bush's fault!
Darn that man-caused global warming.
Darn it to heck!
I'm so tired of cold weather. We don't have bees or butterflies or any insects. Can't get my veggies to grow.
Clear, unambiguous and irrefutable proof beyond a shadow of a doubt of ... Global Warming!
Also, when he have 1600 records high temperatures in July, that's also proof of ... Global Warming!
We are on a critical stage drought alert that restricts our water use. Animals and vegetation are dying at a rapid pace.
But...Global Warming is not the reason, it's because we haven't had any rain!!!
It's hot down here I'm tellin ya!
And God sent Global Cooling just to have a little fun with the Communists.
In in SF Bay Area...last year thousands of bees on my Salvia on the patio...this year 3 or 4 listless bees. Hummers are back in force, though, so might be bee mites. No fireflies in June when I visited my Mom in SE Pennsylvania.
Proof of Global Stupidity. Anybody who believes Carbon Dioxide will create Global Warming is a blithering ignoramous and a Moonbat.
The next GW PR campaign:
"If you believe your own eyes, polar bears will die!"
We hardly ever need even a fan. It is cold in Michigan (Indiana 13 miles south of here).
Why does map one have "redistribution prohibited" printed at the bottom?
Al Gore...Calling Al Gore! Your office on the phone and they seem in a panic. Al Gore , please.
SE Michigan here......ran the A/C for a few hours only one day so far this "summer", LOL
I do not believe it will have ANY effect whatsoever. It is a hoax and an International Socialist One World Plot. Where do you think all the Communists have gone??? Do you think they just dissappeared. Wake up man. The Greens are the Communists. It is all about taking down the USA and the Constitution.
69 degrees here outside Jackson. Perfect weather for building the new porch/greenhouse. (I'm taking a break, git off my back)
The Goreon's cash register just died.
What's the record for records?
I think one of those missing "days over 85" got sent to Wasilla by mistake. We had a 92.5 on July 5. Broke all records by about 10 degrees, I believe. We're sorry we used it all up. There just wasn't anything left of it after everybody soaked it up on the beaches, on boats, and sundecks. We're sorry. We promise we'll try not to be so selfish with it next (??) time.
By this time last year we had Dolly.
Things a little slow this Hurricane season.
Yeah, I expected something by now.
I traveled to New Orleans in September 2005 after Katrina with a FEMA affiliated church group to work in the evacuee centers west of the city. That year was a doozy. Al Gore attended a national conference of property insurers where he advised them to expect an annual increase in the intensity of storms and to adjust their rate tables accordingly. That goof Bobby Kennedy Jr. was blaming Bush directly for Katrina.
My brother in Florida told me that statistically we shouldn't get any hurricanes in 2006 since 2005 was so active. As it turned out, we had hurricanes in 2006 but none made landfall in the U.S. So her was right.
Never mind green jobs - I need to go for a drive, today.
No wonder I didn't see this when i searched, wrong title. (I used the corect title). Sorry.
I searched under "records" and it came right up.
That graph showed the number of days over 85 degrees this July — and I'll guarantee you, it ain't that way in Oklahoma... LOL...
hmmm, I searched on 3,000, lol, no big deal, AGW is one of my pet peeves, been following things closely for many years.
3rd year I've haven't had to put in the window A/C.
DTE is very upset right now!!!
Texas is paying the price for all the coolness you're enjoying in the East. We've set more record highs down here than I can recall - and the associated drought is one of the worst in recorded history. The persistent ridge/trough pattern is more winterlike than mid-summer. Let's hope it changes soon as the water situation is reaching critical levels for many areas.
Wow, just passing 'cap and trade' in the House fixed man-made global warming!
That is why you are Admin Moderator and I am just jpsb. lol. Thank you for all the hard work you do. Much appreciated.
I remember summer 1979ish, 90 straight days of over 90 and 30 something days of over 100. Yes this summer is hot, but I've seen hotter. But you are right about the drought, this is the worst drought I've seen in S.E. Texas. Almost wishing for a topical thing to bring some rain to us. Even the grass is dying! I've never seen that before.
The only hot air comes from Gore when he opens his mouth!

Skip to comments.High school cheerleader car wash violates environmental laws
Posted on 10/25/2013 10:10:17 AM PDT by markomalley
Its hard to wave your spirit fingers when the city shuts down the cheerleading squads fundraising car wash to protect the environment.
This is what happened to Lincoln High School cheerleaders trying to raise money to attend a national competition in April. The San Jose Mercury reports that local environmental officials warned the high school cheerleaders that their car wash violated the citys water discharge laws.
We had a visit from the city of San Jose Environmental Services Department who said that the car washes at Hoover [Middle School] are in violation of water discharge laws, therefore we had to cancel this and all future car washes, said an email that was sent out to neighborhood email lists on Oct. 18.
Anything that is not storm water or rain water is considered a pollutant, said Jennie Loft, acting communications manager for San Joses Environmental Services Department. If it goes into a storm drain, that pollutant will harm wildlife and habitats in the creeks. Water goes directly from the storm drains into our creeks.
The city intervened in response to two complaints received about the car wash events Lincoln High Schoolers had been holding at Hoover Middle School. City officials reached out to school and district staff to give them information on how to prevent pollutants from getting into storm drains.
The city also gave some tips on how they can have legally compliant cars washes.
The Mercury reports: Conduct car washing over gravel, grassy area, or other earthen areas if possible Ensure that wash water (soapy or not) does not run into a street, gutter, or storm drain Wash water from paved areas should be collected and diverted either into the sanitary sewer system or a landscaped area Use different methods to protect the storm drain system Ensure no soap stains remain on the ground.
These byzantine regulations dont just apply to high school sports teams struggling to raise money, but also to individuals who want to give their car a rinse.
What most people should do if washing their cars at home is park it on the lawn so the water is diverted into landscape, Loft said. Or go to a designated neighborhood car wash, so it doesnt go into the storm drain.
According to the Mercury, the Lincoln High School cheerleaders still need funds to get to their competition and are welcoming contributions by check to Lincoln Cheer 2013-2014, Lincoln High School, 555 Dana Ave., San Jose, 95126, attention Mrs. Phillips.
Don't forget "Real Genius".
In Texas, too.....fundraising car washes are okay here, too.
awesome. Just add water.
Take this opportunity to clean up the glass on the bottom of the lake where the kids like to swim.
No old villages down there?
That is pretty dry
There are car washes all the time in my city to help pay for gangbangers' funerals. I'd like to see the Enviro Cops try to shut one down!
So what do they do with their Wastewater Treatment Plant (sewage plant) effluent?
File photo from WildTexas.com
We do all of that, without the Feds telling us to. Come on, you know better than that, I know u do! Freepers r wicked smart and take care of what God made, as I am sure you do.
"My local Stage 2 Water restrictions.
Yeah, but we were at 639 feet as of yesterday. At least that is what the board said.
Try explaining that to the Mexicans in East San Jose.
Now that is a nice looking lake as opposed to a place to fly kites.
It reminds me though, that all the lakes in Texas aside from maybe 2 are man-made.
Many boat ramps were closed. The water was just too low.
EXACTLY my thought....
Gotcha....I understand restricting water in droughts. But that is usually our local rural water board that asks us to do that, not the Feds. But I understand your point.
but we still have water, so far. But start stocking up bottled water for us if things don't change.
All this rain recently barely made a dent.
WOW!!! looks like its been a while since you could use that boat ramp as a BOAT ramp!
nice camper
These girls just didn't go about it correctly.
They needed to be doing one of two things:
1. Topless and constantly kissing and rubbing each other.
2. Pay a couple guys to dress in Bikinis and prance around and help.
Either of those would have allowed them to scream LBGT discrimination and the environazis would have slinked away and allowed them to continue.
Agricultural runoff is a BIG deal here in my neck of America. Soap? not so much.
that's why God invented tar, feathers, and rails
if you care about your paint finish you would stay away from any bunch of cheerleaders with the intent to "clean" your car with a bucket of water and brushes that contains the filth of the 50 cars that went ahead of you.
WOW!!! looks like its been a while since you could use that boat ramp as a BOAT ramp!
4 years and counting....
Side story. Me and Mrs R2 just bought property at Medina Lake this year. Because they develped a nice community as a lake side resort subdivision - and now there is no lake - they have cut asking prices by 1/2.
So yeah. We just bought two lots. Cheap. If and when the water returns and the lake comes back - BOUNS! Our values will double.
If not - well it is still a nice community. We keep our RV there and it makes for a great weekend getaway.
Especially if you have a white car.
I love this Xterra. It tows that RV with power to spare.
This wasn't the Feds. The city also let the school know how to hold a car wash without risking the environment. Putting the cars on a grassy area is not such a hardship. This is one of those rules that makes sense. Liberal probably would want to have centrally controlled water meters to make sure water use was distributed fairly and restricted once a certain level was reached.
Now what gets interesting is when the rules themselves are a main contributor to a problem that other rules are made to solve or prevent. For example requiring that parking areas have a certain amount of impervious surface means at some point you will get run off from that surface.
Ah but what can one expect, these are the same type of great minds that believed a low flush toilet would save water. Forgetting just why the toilet needed to flush int he first place.
I think maybe they ship it to China for them to put in dog treats.
Um, who's been watering the lawn? Looks awful green. :-^)
Yep. We have had some rain this summer - but we need a few hundred feet more to fill 'er up.
It looks bigger than the RV, lol
I know... we will get a long hose and siphon it from the Gulf! Here, you suck it to get it started I think. This pln could use some work.
U R absolutely right. I just hate to see something so "American" as a car-wash to raise funds shut down due to "environmental" concerns. It just struck me wrong. Also, I never wish to stir discontent with fellow Freepers, as we are all on the same team. Go America!!! Lol!!
It is caring about stewardship and the responsibility God gave us to care for and respect His creation.
Your post rings true. Are there any biodegrading cleansers these kids can use for car wash fundraisers? And, for adults, too. Some cleansers I've used in the past made me want to call HAZMAT.
Good idea. We don't have a place to put one.
Really? Hmmmm.....what is the towing capacity of that? I am currently looking for a solid, durable tow vehicle.
Oh I would hate to see fund raising practices like this shut down too. I wonder if they could like the MD fund raiser where you have bail someone out of "jail". Just think students could "arrest" teachers and administrators then "bail money" is sought for their release. I can't see how this could go wrong. Either the money is paid and the funds are raised or the money is not paid and the teachers and administrators quietly fade into obscurity in some forgotten gulag. Ah bliss.
I don't think they are overly worried about the soap but about what else might be carried in the water flow as it makes its way through the storm drain system. But even soap in large enough amounts (which can be small amounts accumulating from different sources) can be a problem which is why quite a few State and National Parks have rules about washing in the lake and river water found there.
I would wash my own car and drive by to make a donation for fundraising.
Maybe get them to just wash wheels so they would feel they did something to earn money for the fundraising and not being given $$$ without doing any work.
5,000 lbs.
The Xterra has a 4.0 litre V6 engine with 265 hp. The Frontier (same vehicle except its a truck) can tow 6,000 lbs. Because the Frontier has a longer wheelbase.
I absolutely love my X.
Yes, it's true, this man has no D*k
Maybe God.
Maybe deep water wells.
everytime my wife mops with that stuff I head for the garage
I equate the smell of that stuff with my mom. She uses tons of it in my house when she comes to visit.
The chemical compound dihydrogen monoxide is known to the State Of California to cause lack of thirst, increased urination, and sudden violent death.
Its always a generous small business that pays for the water..I know they are evil in the mind of the left and these events show that we need more centralized control of water
I'm envious...I need a road trip to get my Mi Tierra fix.
Best tortilla soup in the state, and their bakery's awesome.
as long as biodegradable cleaning products are used, run off from the car wash into the storm drain system should not be problem for natures inhabitants in the creeks or the plant life - they will break down before any systemic calamity from their discharge occurs
What? You mean they didn't file their an environmental impact report with the EPA? Throw em in jail.
"... they also waste water..."
Right. We can't have that, what with water being a non-renewable resource and all. /s

Top 20 Disney Animated Films of All-Time
Next gallery »2014 Independent Spirit Awards Nominations
« Previous gallery10 Stories You Might Have Missed: What will the 'Batman vs. Superman' film be called?
8. 'The Little Mermaid' (1989)
Best character: Ursula the Sea Witch -- Mae West meets Liza Minnelli meets Satan in this many-tentacled, oddly glamorous diva voiced by Pat Carroll.
Best movie moment: Well, for sheer infectious joy, the colorful crustacean calypso of "Under the Sea" is hard to beat -- it did win an Oscar, after all. But the film's heart is contained in Ariel's slow-burning soliloquy-as-ballad "Part of Your World," a cleverly dramatized number that encapsulates an adolescent yearning for escape and transformation that hardly seems unique to merfolk. And that closing surge as waves crash against the rocks? A+ for drama.
Why it's one of Disney's best: "Beauty and the Beast" may have nabbed that history-making Best Picture nomination two years later, but it was "The Little Mermaid" that ushered in a new, revitalized era of Disney animation. After two decidedly uneven decades dominated by obscure, if sometimes endearing, narrative concepts, the company returned to the comforting classicism of fairytale storytelling, but their masterstroke was hiring the inimitable Alan Menken and Howard Ashman to fashion the material as a rich, witty, Broadway-style musical. It set the model for the next decade, and while later features boasted more visual dazzle, I'm not sure they match the emotional resonance of Hans Christian Andersen's story of morphosis and mortality.

coming from WoW, want to try this game... several questions
- Topic Archived
mustardpi314 3 years ago#1
1. what is the level cap and how much play time will it take me to get there? how significant is max level content vs leveling up?
2. what is the penalty for dying?
3. how's the community? is the ratio of asses to sane humans at least reasonable?
4. considering the game is free-to-play, does that make it pay-to-win? what exactly does the store have to sell?
5. to what degree is this game a "WoW clone"?
6. if i played a Feral Druid (ie. shapeshift into cat) and Hunter (ie. beast tamer and ranger) on WoW, what class will i enjoy most here? not necessarily the class that's most similar, but something with a theme that's close to one of those classes.
sorry if this is a lot of questions for a game that i plan to "jump right in" to, but it will put my mind at ease to know these things.

i'm gonna jump right in this week but i want this board's input on a bunch of minor things.
1. 60, about 3 weeks or so.
2. no penalty besides "soul vitality" which gives you 100% and each time you die it goes down by 10%, you have to go to a healer before it gets to zero or you will get reduced stats.
3. community is helpful, sarcasm at times, 1-29 global chat is not so nice, after that it gets better, lvl 60 chat is somewhat bad from what I hear. Better community than most F2P communities.
4. It's the least "P2W" type of free to play mmo out there. There are a few things you can get in the store but for the most part it is not that great.
5. It has some of the mechanics, but nowadays this game has gone in a much better direction than WoW.
6. I'd go for a rogue. Lots of souls. Bard class, has a dps pet class, has the traditional rogue setups, has a tankign soul called Riftwalker and does a real nice job of feeling like a rogue but still being able to tank. There is no "shapeshifting" in this game. You can roll a kelari and shapeshift into a fox but that is really only to evade the dense mob population in some areas.

19 Year Old College Student Stuck Between 2 Buildings In NYC: How The NYU Student Was Rescued
The biggest concern for your average college student is how to pull a all-nighter to finish that paper or pass their finals, but this was not the case for a 19 year old student in Manhattan who on Sunday was stuck between two walls.
The NYU student whose name is yet to be released became trapped between the narrow space located between the university's dorm and a parking garage.
Firefighters were on the scene to assist in the rescue and help save the terrified student. The rescue operation took over an hour as the firefighters had to break through the wall of the garage to free the teenager.
Lucky for this student they will make a full recovery and return to their usual concerns of papers and exams. A full investigation into the incident will now take place, although initial reports suggest that the student probably fell from a window or a rooftop.

But later, some passion showed through on the U.S. team as it rallied from an early deficit to lead in two suspended matches, trail in one and be all square in another.
I saw some fire in eyes, some high-fives and emotion.
Tiger Woods looks like he's into it with partner Steve Stricker.
Phil Mickelson has his putter working.
Stewart Cink, who I thought might be a weak link on the team with his recent struggles, was making bomb putts.
U.S. team captain Corey Pavin always was this sort of quiet nice guy who would battle you like a fierce animal protecting its young when the game got serious. If his team takes on his personality at all, the best is yet to come for the red, white and blue.
And the players on both sides are showing early signs of that wonderful Ryder Cup passion and emotion, even as rain swamped the course, players and caddies. A blimp apparently was not spotted in the sky, but rumor had it an arc was floating about.
Kidding aside, the escalated format will not be as confusing as it sounds (six foursomes matches followed by four four-balls matches and two foursomes matches, making a total of eight each four-balls and foursomes matches). It's still going to be 28 points in the end and 12 singles matches Sunday.
The strategy will change. Any plans for who plays with who will get changed because nobody rests from this point on for any session. A team captain also can't hide a player is struggling and has to find someone to play with the struggling man.
Still, in the end, it will come down to what team plays the best golf. And by best golf -- as in most major golf events -- it will be who makes the most putts and the most critical times of matches.
The early morning stuff tomorrow, in which the current matches finish, could be huge for momentum in a very busy day worth a lot of points.
Of course, Woods, who didn't even play on the celebrated winning team at Valhalla in Louisville two years ago, will be an early focal point. Woods and Stricker are all square with Ian Poulter and Ross Fisher through 10 holes after being down much of the match.
The Woods match works two ways. If the U.S. wins it with Woods finishing well, I have to believe it jolts the team with confidence.
If they lose it and Woods doesn't finish well, it jolts Europe.
Hey, I'm getting up early again.
According to the Ryder Cup web site, ESPN now will carry action live 2:30 to 8 a.m. Saturday, and then coverage will move to NBC. Sunday's coverage will start at 4 a.m. on NBC.

Keep The Faith: Mayweather-Pacquiao Will Come in 2012
By Lyle Fitzsimmons
The news that pound-for-pound elitist Floyd Mayweather Jr. would be spending three months behind bars – deservedly so, by the way – didn't exactly get 2012 off to an ideal boxing start.
After all, when his plea deal mandated lock-up on Jan. 6, any fleeting hopes that the early May date he'd reserved in Vegas would result in a showdown with Manny Pacquiao went up in litigious smoke.
But while many are already writing off the year as another in which the sport's most anticipated and potentially lucrative superfight didn't happen… I'm not willing to throw in the towel just yet.
For May? Yes, indeed.
But forever? No way.
In fact, count me among those who not only believe Mayweather will be out of jail by Easter, but expect him to be in the ring – albeit against a less-ominous, non-Filipino foe – at the MGM Grand come May 5.
And once he dispatches a Peter McNeely-type springtime stand-in, sign me up for Valhalla in the fall.
The match between the world's two best fighters will be the $75 pay-per-view cherry on what should be another solid in-ring year – replete with big performances from rising superstars, main-stage veterans and heretofore unknown quantities that'll make the most of long-awaited opportunities.
For an advance look at who'll cop year-end hardware 12 months from now, read on as we open the envelope for 2012's FitzHitz and Misses.
And the winners are…
COMEBACK OF THE YEAR – Amir Khan
Though his December 2011 loss to Lamont Peterson was seen by many eyes as dubious, it nonetheless did relieve the classy Brit of his 140-pound titles and at least temporarily stunted his growth as a rapidly rising commodity on credible P4P lists.
The fall didn't last long, however, as Khan secured the immediate rematch and regained his belts from Peterson in April, then signed off on the long-delayed unification with Timothy Bradley before taking the Californian apart over 12 intermittently violent rounds in September.
EVENT OF THE YEAR – Pacquiao-Mayweather contract signing
It'd been a sometimes imminent, sometimes impossible scenario since shortly after Pacquiao took his stratospheric leap with a stunningly one-sided stoppage of Oscar de la Hoya more than three years earlier, but once Mayweather emerged from jail unscathed – it became inevitable.
The two met face to face in the ring after Mayweather's comeback win, did the requisite back-and-forth chirping at the post-fight presser and finally put pen to paper within two weeks for an early December get-together on the strip in Las Vegas.
UPSET OF THE YEAR – Molina W 12 Alvarez
Unbeaten for five years and unknown for most of that time, "King" Carlos burst onto the scene with a surprise whitewashing of Kermit Cintron in suburban Los Angeles in July and continued upsetting apple carts when he outfoxed James Kirkland in January.
The latter propelled him directly into a first career title fight, which he translated into a year-long stunner with a one-sided decision over the previously unscathed and largely unchallenged Saul Alvarez before a slack-jawed "Canelo" fan base.
KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR – V. Klitschko KO 3 Haye
He chirped for years about what he'd do with the Brothers Klitschko if ever provided the chance, then, when opportunity finally knocked, loudmouth Englishman David Haye fought as timid a 12 rounds as humanly possible in dropping a near shutout to Wladimir in July 2011.
Still, thanks to a division bereft of drama, the former short-term cruiserweight kingpin parlayed notoriety into another title shot with WBC champ Vitali – which this time ended in unconsciousness when the elder Klitschko connected with a thunderous straight right at 2:10 of the third.
FIGHT OF THE YEAR – Mayweather TKO 11 Pacquiao
For years upon years, the year's biggest superfight invariably turned into the year's biggest disappointment. Case in point: Mayweather's uber-heralded showdown with de la Hoya half a decade ago in the Nevada desert.
Fortunately for the sport this time around, 2012's contribution to Time, Newsweek and USA Today front covers was every bit the product that had been advertised, with the unbeaten five-division champion rallying from an early hole to punish the seven-division into a late-round corner submission.
FIGHTER OF THE YEAR – Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Considering where he was when the year began, it's not hard to fathom why "Money" was so emotional – breaking down into what looked like legitimate tears – upon realizing a battered Pacquaio would not be allowed to come out for the second-to-last round of their welterweight title match.
And while others like Andre Ward, Bernard Hopkins, Klitschko, Khan and Sergio Martinez earned well-warranted headlines with significant wins, none were bigger than Mayweather's in the fight that exceeded the PPV standard set by the aforementioned Oscar showdown in 2007.

Bay View Gallery Night comes into its own
Bay View Gallery Night is making its downtown-based big brother look downright sleepy.
The bi-annual event, organized by Made in Milwaukee, seems to have come into its own, in many respects. Cars, bikes and people jammed the streets and sidewalks Friday night, particularly around the intersection of Kinnickinnic and Howell avenues. The Hide House, like the Marshall Building in the Third Ward during Gallery Night, was a home base of sorts, filled with artists' spaces and mobs of art lookers. »Read Full Article

How Is My Money Used Each Month?
$38 a month. That's how much it costs to sponsor a child through Compassion, which is more than the price of sponsorship at other organizations. The difference sometimes leads to questions such as: What does my child get each month for $38?", and "Where is the money going that isn't going to the children?".Continue Reading ›
Child Development and Community Development: Is One Better Than the Other?
How we go about fighting extreme poverty contrasts with how other organizations work toward the same goal. We fight poverty personally; whereas, many organizations fight communally.
I don't mean that other organizations aren't personally invested or committed to eliminating extreme poverty. I mean that a child focused, child development approach to fighting poverty is distinctly different than a broader community development approach.Continue Reading ›
Your Sponsored Child's Most Prized Possession
Here's a photographic look at what some children around the world consider their most prized possessions. And it's not their toys.
The Importance of Names
Names are important. They have power. They define us. They're more than a bunch of letters grouped together to sound pleasant to the ear. Names are more than a convenience allowing us to talk to each other. Names are a gift from God. They contain His power. They define things. They define us.
What Does Poverty Mean?
What does poverty mean to the poor? What does poverty mean to you? What does poverty mean to God?
4,255 Sponsored Children During Blog Month 2013
Your participation and support of blog month helped offer hope and opportunity to thousands of children living in extreme poverty. And on their behalf we are grateful. Thank you.
The Key to Ending Poverty is Hope
The key to ending poverty resides in the capacity of human beings—and their view of their own capacity—to facilitate positive change.
Three Things About One Word: Silence
Silence speaks. To everyone and for everyone. Silence cannot remain intact. It is always broken. Silence requires effort. It's deliberate action or inaction.

"These are super cute. We are using them to stick on little treat bags for our daughter's birthday treats for her preschool class.. We had then printed to read Lily's 2nd Birthday! They are great!"
"I received my order very fast. I loved the colors and decided to use them for the color scheme for my daughter's 1st birthday party. The tags are a great size and I was happy that they are adhesives so can be used as a sticker."
"These are the perfect touch for sealing a card, a goodie bag, or making custom labels for different party favors. The only complaint is a minor one of the ink quality...just a tad lighter than the picture online (almost like I printed them myself) I had debated wether or not they were worth it, needless to say, I will definitely add these to all my future orders! Bonus: I received my order nearly a week earlier than expected."
"I know they're Valentine's Day tags, but I think they're adorable to show some love all year. I bought them to tag sweets I'd made for a spring get together. Happy colors in this adorable tag."

"A handy guide for the manager who, when faced with a maze of possible strategies, needs a clearly defined and impartial explanation of how to develop his or her business." Engineering and Technology Magazine
"This is not an ordinary primer on management tools. With Hope as co-author, there is a deeper level of analysis. His critique centres not on the tools but on the people who use them. Ultimately, his book amounts to a strong critique of managers. [It] will challenge their prejudices about some management tools at least and force them to consider whether the weaknesses they perceive lie not in the tools but within themselves." "Beyond Performance Management is Hope's last book, as he died shortly before it went to press. He will be missed for his plain-speaking and incisive, unsparing critique of modern management, at a time when those qualities are very badly needed." The Financial Times

Space Plasma Physics
Space Plasma Research at UCL/MSSL
We are active in a number of areas of Space Plasmas Research, driven by our current and future participation in international space science missions for which we have, or will provide instrument hardware. These include interests in the solar wind, and the terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres.
The solar wind is a stream of plasma that flows radially outwards from the Sun, carrying with it the solar magnetic field. It is a supersonic plasma that is shocked by its encounters with bodies throughout the solar system. The source of the solar wind and its evolution through the solar system are areas of active research within the Space Plasma Physics group at MSSL.
We are the principal investigator institute for the Solar Wind Analyser (SWA) suite of sensors which are selected for inclusion on ESA's Solar Orbiter Mission. This mission, targeted for launch in January 2017, is a candidate to be the first component of ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 Programme. As well as leading the international SWA consortium, preparations for this mission at UCL/MSSL include the scientific analysis of current space-based observations of the solar wind, which acts to inform the design and prototyping work for the SWA Electron Analyser System (SWA/EAS), which will be built at UCL/MSSL.
We work in close collaboration with the UCL/MSSL Solar Physics group in order to better our understanding between phenomena on the Sun and their propagation into the solar system.
We are engaged in the scientific study of the structures and dynamics of a number of regions found within and around the Earths magnetosphere, including the magnetospheric cusps, the magnetopause and the magnetotail. We are particularly interested in magnetic reconnection, and its manifestations at the magnetopause (for example through studies of Flux Transfer Events) and in the magnetotail (in particular the physics of magnetospheric substorm and related phenomena). In addition, recent work concentrates also on the auroral regions, and the physical processes which accelerate particles precipitating from the magnetosphere to the energies needed for auroral activation.
The principal tool we use for magnetospheric research is data from the ESA 4-spacecraft Cluster mission and China/ESA 2-spacecraft Double Star mission. UCL/MSSL is the Principal Investigator Institute for the Electron Spectrometer instrument (PEACE) flown on all 6 of these spacecraft. We also use data from the Polar, Interball, Geotail, ACE, Wind and THEMIS satellites.
Often in close collaboration with members of the UCL/MSSL Planetary Group, members of the Space Plasmas Group regularly participate in studies of the plasma environments (magnetospheres, ionospheres, plasma wakes, etc.) of other solar system bodies.
Our expertise in studying the plasma environment around the Earth and the abundance of data available allow us to study the similarities and differences between the different planetary systems throughout the solar system. Through these comparisons, we can further our understanding of the fundamental physics of plasmas.
ULF Waves above the Nightside Auroral Oval during Substorm Onset
The first indication of substorm onset is a sudden brightening of one of the quiet arcs lying in the midnight sector of the oval, and an explosive auroral displays covering the entire night sky follows. In space, this corresponds to a detonation that releases a huge amount of energy stored in the stretched night-time magnetic fields and charged particles. This chapter reviews historical ground-based observations of electromagnetic waves and their role in detonating the substorm, and highlights new research linking these electromagnetic waves explicitly to substorm onset itself. The chapter focuses on the properties of ultra-low frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves that are seen in two-dimensional images of the aurora and discusses a wider range of physical processes that could be responsible for the azimuthally structured auroral forms along the substorm onset arc immediately before it explosively brightens.

A New Technique for Determining Substorm Onsets and Phases from Indices of the Electrojet (SOPHIE)
Substorms are a fundamental mode of variability of the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Previous studies have shown that they can process over 1000 TJ of captured solar wind energy and, in so doing, divert magnetospheric currents through the ionoshpere. This diversion of currents results in a distinct signature in ground-based magnetometer measurements at auroral latitudes. In a new paper, Forsyth et al [2015] have developed a technique for identifying all parts of a substorm from this ground-magnetometer data. More...
Lightning as a Space Weather Hazard
UK lightning rates previously have been shown to be influenced by large compressed regions of solar wind known as corotating interaction regions (CIRs). CIRs are often co-located with the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) at 1AU. A catalogue of all HCS crossings from 2000 to 2007 is computed using the change in the magnetic field direction. The average lightning rates (RL; from the UK MetOffice's radio network) and average thunder days (RTH; from audio records) were then computed for 40 days either side of the HCS crossing. These results are shown in the top two rows of the figure. 13.5-and 27-day peaks in thunderstorm activity is observed corresponding to the regularity of HCS crossings of the Earth as they rotate around with the Sun.

A physical explanation for the magnetic decrease ahead of dipolarization fronts
Bursty Bulk Flows (BBFs) are intervals of fast Earthward plasma and magnetic flux transport in the plasma sheet, and are usually considered as the most important carriers of mass and energy towards the near-Earth region. A BBF consists of one or more individual flow bursts (FBs) [Angelopoulos et al., 1992]. Both the plasma velocity and the north-south component of the magnetotail's magnetic field inside the BBF are significantly larger than in the surrounding region. They carry a stronger magnetic field and current density on their leading edge than in the surrounding magnetotail. The front of the BBF is often associated with a sharp increase in the northward magnetic field component B_z and is thus known as the dipolarization front (DF) [Nakamura et al., 2002; Sergeev et al., 2009]. This is usually a kinetic-scale structure of width of the order of an ion gyro-radius, i.e. ~1000km. More...
