Noyes, Presley lead Cougs to 79-69 win
PULLMAN, Wash. - Senior center Carly Noyes scored 24 points and sophomore guard Tia Presley tallied 21 points to lead the Washington State women's basketball team to a 79-69 victory in its home opener over Monmouth University at Beasley Coliseum Friday.
Noyes and Presley each record career highs as Noyes added three blocks for the Cougars (1-2). Freshman guard Lia Galdeira again put her name in the record book, posting 11 points, 13 rebounds, six steals and six assists to register the first double-double by a Cougar freshman since Jazmine Perkins in 2009. Alysha Womack led Monmouth (0-2) with 25 points.
Washington State shot 43.5 percent from the field and dished out 20 assists on its 30 field goals. The Cougars blocked seven Monmouth shots and held the Hawks to 25.5 percent from the floor including 5-for-19 from behind the arc.Noyes, Presley lead Cougs to 79-69 win
Monmouth kept things close in the first half before WSU put together a 11-4 run to end the half and take a 32-28 lead in to the break. Galdeira got things going with a long two from the right wing, redshirt-junior guard Ireti Amojo hit a three in the left corner, and Galdeira added a stepback jumper before Noyes scored the final four points of the half.
The Cougars opened the second half getting the ball down to Noyes who scored six points during a 9-2 run in the opening minutes that also saw Presley hit a long three from the left wing.
Monmouth didn't go away, hitting a couple buckets to cut the WSU lead to 44-46 at the 12:08 mark before putting together consecutive baskets to tie things up at 50.
Washington State then turned to its bench and received a spark from junior forward Hana Potter who caught fire and ignited an 11-0 WSU run with nine straight points, hitting a three, grabbing rebound and finishing with a layup as she was fouled and adding another three from the right wing. Junior guard Brandi Thomas capped the run with a turnaround jumper from the left elbow to give WSU a 61-50 lead with 7:16 remaining.
Galdeira and Presley took over from there as Presley hit a three, Galdeira followed with a steal and nice drop-off pass to a streaking Presley for a layin. Minutes later, Noyes hit a baseline jumper before she later added a jumphook as she was fouled and completed the three-point play with the free throw to give her 24 points and keep the WSU lead in double-digits.
Potter finished the game with nine points and junior forward Sage Romberg added eight rebounds.
The Cougars continue their three-game homestand Sunday, hosting the University of Wisconsin at 1 p.m.

|Let's hope it's the beginning of a lifelong journey for you two
Well, here we go....
My son and I picked up our first fly rods and reels today. We ended up with two Mystic Inception 9 foot (4 pc) 5 wt rods and two Lamson Konic reels. Everything should be in by the end of the week and we will be receiving some tutelage on casting when we pick the up.
Very excited.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for the warm welcome.
I'll take your advice regarding the poppers and the small lake scenario but what about a "getting started" rod and reel combo? Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops have some great choices and Orvis has a very nice setup for beginner's. The ones that I am interested in range from around $150 to about $200 for a four piece rod, reel and line to get you started. Are there any specific names of manufacturers I should be looking for? I'm guessing that since we're just starting out high quality equipment probably isn't the most important thing - the high quality stuff can come later as we get better at casting and learning fly fishing techniques.
Glad you found this Forum. You're right, though, things have been very slow. We're still kickin' and posts such as yours keep us going.
Fishing for pan fish in small lakes is a great way to learn fly-fishing, as you'll be rewarded with the odd take as opposed to the demands of trying to catch selective trout, which is a very tough way to start your fly-fishing career.
You might try fooling around with small poppers. Most panfish like them, as do bass, and the surface action is very stimulating. Cast the poppers into likely openings in weed beds (which helps with accuracy). No need to go long -- thirty feet into the right spot (or twenty, for that matter) will get you rises and hookups.
And it's the action that will keep you at it as you improve your casting and fishing skills.
You'll find that as opposed to spin-gear, with poppers you can fish places that would foul you were you spinning. Pan fish (and bass) love structure and you can explore and probe spots (and, incidentally, catch fish) where you couldn't before.
I cut my fly-fishing teeth on Bluegill. I still love to fish for them, even though I live in Steelhead country.
Welcome to the Forum. This is a very general answer to your questions. If you have more specific questions or need more explanation, please ask. We're here to serve.
New to fly fishing
Hello all,
Doesn't look like there has been much activity on this forum of late so I'm not really sure what I can expect but I'll give it a shot anyway.
My son and I are interested in fly fishing and would like to give it an earnest try. We live in Southeast Michigan, near Ann Arbor, and have multiple lakes in which to fish as well as the Huron River. My guess is that we will be mainly fishing for pan fish and various types of bass which leads me to assume that a 5/6 weight rod will fulfill our needs. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Because we are just getting into this we obviously don't want to drop a ton of money into gear but would like something durable, that we can grow into and have fun with.
I would love to hear your suggestions and recommendations because fly fishing is fascinating to us but we are coming from a spinning rod and reel world that is primitive when compared to fly fishing.
Thank you for your help.

But the story didn't end there. Three hours later, Peters received an e-mail update, headed "This is so cool!", from ChristianScience Monitor staffer Andrew Heining, a stranger to Peters but a Critical Mass member. Heining had witnessed the incident from across Mass Ave and had impulsively pursued the fleeing male bike thief (the woman had, by then, escaped). Shouting at passers-by to call the police, he pedaled after the man, who was on foot, for a few blocks, fueled by a large amount of adrenaline and a little desire for revenge. (Heining previously had two bikes stolen in the same area.)
Eventually, the runaway thief tired and the two faced off on Dalton Street, near Jasper White's Summer Shack. The thief, wrote Heining, "swung his bag with the bolt cutters in it at me, and we got into a scuffle." The bike-napper escaped yet again, but Heining's shouts for police proved effective. A cruiser pulled up, Heining hopped in, and the chase continued.
"The call went out and like five cars responded, Dragnet style," writes Heining to the Phoenix by e-mail. About 10 minutes later, officers arrested the alleged culprit near Match, on Mass Ave, and Heining identified him. Police charged the perp, James Johnson, with assault and battery with a deadly weapon, "possession of burglarious instruments," attempt to commit a crime, and receiving stolen property, according to Erika Gully-Santiago, a spokesperson for the Suffolk County DA's office. Johnson was held on $5000 bail, with a court date set for October 9.
So what was Peters's response to all this? He offered Heining the best reward possible, next to Internet fame: beer.

Extreme Cool 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner & Heater with 3M Antimicrobial Air Filter 5-Pack
Description & Highlights
EdgeStar Extreme Cool 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner & Heater with 3M Antimicrobial Air Filter 5-Pack - Black
As one of the most powerful portable air conditioners on the market, the EdgeStar Extreme Cool 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner & Heater with 3M Antimicrobial Air Filter 5-Pack (AP14001HS3M) is our top pick for cooling larger spaces. The cooling system is powered by a high-efficiency rotary compressor that is capable of producing enough cooling power to quickly cool rooms up to 525 square feet in size – and unlike many of its competitors, this portable air conditioner has an effective heating function as well. The aptly-placed control panel is perfectly situated at the top of the unit, front and center, so you can easily access the thoughtfully-designed and straightforward control interface. Using a combination of buttons you can select from four (4) modes: cool, fan, dehumidify, or heat, and three (3) fan speeds to create the most comfortable living spaces possible. The unit includes a washable and reusable pre-filter and a carbon filter that help remove debris and odors from the air. Additionally, this kit includes a 5-pack of 3M antimicrobial air filters that offer improved performance when eradicating odors and other various airborne contaminants. The filters' antimicrobial function serves to prevent the growth of mold and mildew on the filters resulting in air that's even cleaner than when using the carbon filter. The modern and easy-to-read cool blue LCD display can show the room temperature as well as the set temperature – which is adjusted using the unique smooth-rotating dial. Additionally, the dial is used to control timer settings and can be pressed to display temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
One of the extremely useful features of the EdgeStar Extreme Cool 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner & Heater is the use of a self-evaporative system. This patented auto-drain system helps automatically remove condensate that may accumulate during usage so there's no need to deal with the hassle of constantly emptying a drain pan of any kind. Furthermore, this portable air conditioner utilizes a dual hose system to increase the cooling efficiency by using separate hoses for venting heat exhaust and pulling in air, and attaches to the included window kit. This model's sturdy and easy-rolling casters make it true to its name, giving it the power to move easily from room-to-room, while the easy grip handles help you maneuver the unit with confidence. Additional features of this portable air conditioner include a built-in timer that's fully-adjustable to let you control when the unit automatically turns on or off, as well as a remote control that is capable of controlling all of the same key functions found on the control panel. The unmatched performance and features of the EdgeStar Extreme Cool 14000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner & Heater pair with the contemporary and highly refined exterior to create one of the most popular and versatile portable air conditioners that we offer.
Note: The 3M antimicrobial air filter replaces the carbon filter. Both cannot be used simultaneously. The 3M filter removes the same air contaminants with increased performance and added antimicrobial protection.
Self-Evaporative System:The new patented Z-Spray auto-drain system essentially eliminates the need to empty water from the unit. The direct drain option allows you to run the unit 365 days a year without having to empty any water accumulation by hand.
Dual Hose Design:Proven to provide more efficient and effective cooling by using separate hoses for venting heat exhaust and air intake (can be used as single hose as well).
Efficient Cooling Power:The cooling system uses a high-efficiency rotary compressor to quickly and quietly deliver the cooling you need without running up the energy bills.
Superior Engineering:Through quality construction and more durable internal components, the AP14000HS is designed to last longer and work in more rigorous environments than other brands.
Year-Round Versatility:The cooling, dehumidifying, and heating functions combine to make this portable air conditioner perfect for using every day of the year despite the weather conditions.
Unrivaled Filtering Performance:The washable pre-filter and 3M antimicrobial air filter effectively remove odor and debris from the air to create healthier living spaces while simultaneously preventing mold or mildew growth on the filter.
Portable Air Conditioner Product Rating*:
* This portable air conditioner has achieved our 5 star product rating based on independent testing of its BTU class cooling capacity, durability, and quality of components.
** In high humidity environments there may be some water accumulation. This unit is equipped with a direct drain option for continuous use in this type of environment.
*** All portable air conditioners require that the exhaust hose be vented outside of the room you are trying to cool.
****This portable air conditioner heats through the use of a heat pump process. It is not recommended for use in environments where the ambient temperature falls below 50°F.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
At long last, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced a slew of much-needed policy changes regarding the use of cell-site simulators. Most importantly, starting today all federal law enforcement agencies—and all state and local agencies working with the federal government—will be required to obtain a search warrant supported by probable cause before they are allowed to use cell-site simulators. EFF welcomes these policy changes as long overdue.
The California Supreme Court today granted our petition to review the lawsuit filed by EFF and the ACLU of Southern California that seeks to shine a light on the collection of license plate data by the Los Angeles Police and Sheriff's Departments.
EFF and ACLU of Southern California Urge California Supreme Court to Grant Review in Automated License Plate Reader Case
EFF and the ACLU of Southern California urged the California Supreme Court in San Francisco to review our lawsuit seeking access to a week's worth of automated license plate data collected by the Los Angeles Police and Sheriff's Departments. The California Court of Appeal last spring sided with the agencies and ruled that these data—gathered on about three million vehicles in Los Angeles every week—could be withheld as "records of law enforcement investigations."
Across the country, a vigorous debate is taking place in federal and state courthouses about how privacy protections should apply to modern technologies. One of the most spirited issues in this debate is whether the Fourth Amendment requires law enforcement to get a warrant to track a person's location via their cell phone. This week EFF filed two new amicus briefs that answer that question with a resounding yes.
In her new podcast, Mystery Show, Starlee Kine launches hilariously meandering investigations into the types of quirky, personal mysteries that, while seemingly inconsequential, tend to eat at the edges of a person's mind. This week, Starlee pursues the question: what's the story behind the "ILUV911" vanity license plate she once noticed on the back of a Buick during a really long traffic light a few years back?
Here's where you deserve a spoiler alert. A big one. (You should listen to "Case #4 Vanity Plate" before proceeding.)
Starlee solves her mystery. But, in the process, she also destroys the chief defense made by the automatic license plate reader (ALPR) industry to counter criticisms that ALPR technology violates personal privacy.

Symposium focuses on medieval Japanese art, April 14-15
Posted March 28, 2007; 06:30 p.m.
An international gathering of scholars will explore new perspectives on medieval Japanese artistic traditions in a symposium scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, April 14-15, in McCosh 50.
Titled "Re-presenting Emptiness: Zen and Art in Medieval Japan," the event will include talks by scholars of history, literature, religious studies and art history from Japan, Europe and the United States. They will offer various perspectives for understanding the formal and representational uses of little-understood artifacts -- robes, calligraphies, portraits, landscape paintings and poem-picture scrolls -- associated with Japanese Zen monastic communities of the medieval period.
The symposium is open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required. More information, including a registration form, is available at web.princeton.edu/sites/TangCenter/zenandart/home.html. To receive symposium materials at the event, registration must be completed by Monday, April 2.
The symposium is organized by the Tang Center for East Asian Art and is cosponsored by the Department of Art and Archaeology, the Buddhist Studies Workshop, the Program in East Asian Studies and the Princeton University Art Museum. It is presented in conjunction with an exhibition, "Awakenings: Zen Figure Painting in Medieval Japan," which runs through June 17 at the Japan Society in New York City.

Ok, it's Youth protection month and everyone should be checking their training cards to make sure they are current in their training. The online version is actually pretty good and while it is a bit long, it sure is better than dedicating a Saturday Morning listening to a less than dynamic trainer ramble on about "this one time at Scout camp"…
But seriously, I want to address youth protection simply because I care a lot about the Scouts in my care. These Scouts and their parents have a certain level of trust in our program and us as leaders and we owe it to them to protect their sons, and that extends way beyond the Pack or Troop.
It is well known that the Scouts of my unit are encouraged to have a level of comfort in me in trust that I will never harm them.. when I say that I mean they can call me and talk about what ever is on their minds, not the least of which if they are being abused, sexually, mentally, emotionally, or physically. They know that I do genuinely care enough for them that I will take action.
I have had Scouts that were bullied at School and I was the person they were comfortable telling, I went to the School and addressed the concern with the Principle, had a lengthy talk with the parents and resolved the issue.
Now I would suggest that if you are not comfortable taking this type of action, don't, but it is your responsibility as a leader to at least report it… yeah, even if it is not on "Scout time".
OK… having said all of that.. I want to talk just a little bit about the current scandal that rocked our corner of the world this week.
I am not going to pull punches with my comments.. so if you are easily offended than leave now… just click away.. if this shocks you, I recommend you elevate your feet and treat for shock.
Back in the early '80's an Assistant Scoutmaster (a perverted sick individual) named Timur Dykes of a Troop Chartered by the LDS Church sexually molested a young man.. the victim will remain nameless in my blog.. if you are that interested you can read about it at this link and others. Well as it appears he molested more than just this young man.. he did about 17 boys in all over the course of his tenure as an ASM. That is bad in and of itself.. but here is what really gets me about the whole thing. In the vain of Youth Protection… it came out in the trial that it was known that he did all this. He was dismissed from the LDS Church by the Church.. BUT.. the dumb ass's failed to remove him from the Scout unit.. nor did they report the incident to the Scout Executive which as per BSA policy is required. Dykes continued to be an Assistant Scoutmaster even though everyone knew what had happened.
And why wait till now to report and sue? Early 80's all this happens, now the BSA is on the hook for 60% of the damage here? What about the bone heads at the LDS church that failed to report and remove this sick bastard from his position?
The Boy Scouts of America has to pay $840,000, the Cascade Pacific Council is on the hook for $210,000, while the LDS church only has to pay $350,000 (which they have already scratched their check for their "portion")
OK folks. before you start emailing about how I am railing on the Mormons.. I'm not.. I just think that they should be shouldering more of the blame here.
It's Youth Protection month.. what does that mean to those of us that really do care for the Scouts that pass through our program? It means we PROTECT them.
If you are not current.. Get that way. If you are not trained.. Get that way. If you are a perverted thug that preys on boys.. GET OUT.

Have a Great Scouting Day!

It is worth noting that the Z80 is the only major computer CPU in the history of microelectronics that does not use any dynamic registers.
After I got bored toggling in programs (no cassette storage and no UV-EPROM programmer), I bought a Nascom 1, but still couldn't afford an assembler, so I became very adept at hand-assembly - I still remember that "INC HL" is 0x23.How sad is that?
You can't supply a clock signal to the Z80 from an IO port, you need a high frequency, about 2-4MHz.
I assume that the Z80 can overheat even if it's broken. Is it right ?

I've been making some tests on the child's sensibility on an external organ called placenta which they loose at the moment of birth.
My theory is that the placenta is a child's sensitive organ used to communicate with the mother's exterior.
The first evidence I have is that whenever I put my hand over the big thing containing a placenta with a child inside the child starts knocking on my hand, this indicates that the child has the means to know my hand's position over the placenta and move towards it.
The second experiment was similar to the first one, but with the lights off. The result was the same: the child knocked on hand.
The third experiment I will be doing is to play with the child moving my hand to different places around the placenta and wait for the child to knock on my hand before any other place. This game will need some practice from both parts but after it's dominated it will prove somehow that the childs can use their placenta to know the position of a hand over it.

China doesn't seem to have found the bottom investors have been waiting for. The HSBC Flash China Manufacturing PMI, an early version of the official purchasing managers' report out in Sept. 1, fell sharply to 47.8 in August, with new export business declining at the sharpest pace since March 2009.
While a smaller sample size and a bigger composition of small- to mid-sized firms than the official report makes this survey a bit more volatile but SG Global Economist Wei Yao said a drop this sharp below the 50-level point (the dividing line between expansion and contraction) "unambiguously spells trouble." Investors have been hoping to see signs that recent stimulus measures are beginning to stem the country's slowdown and this definitely isn't that.
More from Yao, who called the report "plainly awful":
"Details of the flash report showed sharp deterioration in all the sub-indices except for employment and delivery times, but employment index didn't improve either from the lowest level (47.7) since April 2009. Production index fell below the boom-bust line again to 47.9, and total new orders index was down to 46.6 from 48.7 in the previous month. Worse still, export orders dropped to only 44.7 in August a level only seen during the Lehman crisis."
"The high level of excess capacity is a structural issue for many upstream sectors in China and will put downward pressure on producer prices and corporate profit margins for year to come."
The SPDR S&P China Index ETF (GXC) closed Wednesday down slightly at $63.74. Asian markets were higher on hopes central bankers in the US and in Asia offer the economies another shot in the arm.

Gareth Thompson; The Anarchist's Angel +Giveaway
Young Adult
Pub. Date: May 2010
Fifteen-year-old Samson Ashburner has always felt like an outsider—even before the accident that left his face scarred and his confidence shattered. With the jeers and taunts of the local children ringing in his ears, Samson's only refuge is his ancestor's hut deep in the nearby woods. It is here that he encounters Angel Obscura, a gypsy girl who teachers Samson that not everybody takes him at face value. But Angel is not all that she seems, and Samson is soon drawn into a web of deceit and shady dealings with an explosive outcome.
My Review
Unfortunately, I was unable to finish this book. I am a little disappointed with myself.
Here is the first line in the book. "I came round to the noise of a grim reaping machine."
Sounds good doesn't it?
It was going great for me till I hit pg114, But I forged on and when I couldn't do it any further I gave up. I just couldn't stay tuned into the book. It might have been the wording. It's sets in Cumbrian which the way they communicate is much different as to how I communicate. I couldn't grasp the way they interacted.
So My loss is your gain. One person will have a chance to finish this for me.
If you think you would enjoy this read and willing to do a review, leave your email in your comment. (US ONLY)
Winner will be announced Monday. :)

• See below news for Ole Miss fraternity's view of the situation.
OXFORD, Miss. – Effective immediately, the Eta Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity has been suspended from the University of Mississippi campus through the conclusion of the fall 2013 semester for violation of the University Alcohol Policy.
The fraternity was already on two-strike probation due to a previous violation of the same policy during the fall semester of 2012. Two-strike probation is levied on an organization that is found guilty of an alcohol or drug violation. the university reported this morning.
According to university policy, an organization that violates the University Alcohol Policy while on two-strike probation automatically receives a one-semester suspension. The Sigma Chi fraternity was placed on interim suspension on March 5, 2013, when the second violation occurred.
The fraternity was also found guilty of disorderly conduct, disregard for university authority and failure to follow the guidelines for registration of activities found in the Student Organization Handbook.
Upon reinstatement, the fraternity will remain on two-strike probation and social probation through the conclusion of the spring semester of 2014.
Sigma Chi's annual "Derby Days" were under way on campus, and the university's news release announcing the suspension made no mention of how or if the decision will affect this weekend's activities.
A check of the fraternity's website showed that links to upcoming events and its officers are not working.
But an adult close to the chapter reported shortly after noon today on Twitter that "Derby Days" were canceled.
The University Judicial Council voted unanimously on all counts. The council is composed of three students, one faculty member and one staff member. The Student Judicial Chair is elected by the student body through the university's annual Associated Student Body campus-wide elections.
The board also agreed to allow the current members residing in the fraternity house to continue living in the house and receiving meals at the house through the end of the current semester.
Decisions handed down by the University Judicial Council can be appealed to the Appellate Consideration Board, which is appointed by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. The Appellate Consideration Board is also composed of students, faculty and staff.
APRIL 5, 2013 – University, MS – After a hearing from the University of
Mississippi Judicial Council on April 4, 2013, the University has placed Sigma Chi under suspension for the Fall 2013 semester.
The University found the Eta Chapter guilty of illegal possession of alcohol, disorderly conduct, disregard for university authority and failure to follow the guidelines for registration of activities found in the Student Organization Handbook. The Eta Chapter previously had one strike in the University's twostrike policy from the fall of 2012.
"The University's two-strike policy for students and organizations is flawed and needs to be changed as it delivers major punishment for minor offenses. A first strike sets up the opportunity to fail for the second," said Major Geoffrey Yoste, chapter advisor of the Eta Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
The suspension includes no formal recruitment, no social activities, no housing, no meals, and no formal meetings will take place on the campus of the University. The suspension beings on May 13, 2013 and ends on January 1, 2014.
After the suspension is lifted in January of 2014, the Eta Chapter will be under social probation, with the allowance of philanthropic events; meals, room & board, and recruitment will also return.
"We're disappointed with the outcome and we do plan to appeal and hope that a better outcome can come out of that process," said Buckner Corso, president of the Eta Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
This decision made by the University in no way revokes the charter given to the Eta Chapter by the Sigma Chi Fraternity in 1857. According to Sigma Chi International headquarters, the charter will remain intact.
"We are disappointed with the decision of the Judicial Council. We understand the importance of the relevant University policies and we want to continue to educate our members but we feel that this ruling will only hurt efforts to do that, no only at Sigma Chi, but across the Greek community at Ole Miss," said Cameron Ray, vice-president of the Eta Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
Currently, the Eta Chapter employs six full-time employees in their house. The fate of their jobs is unknown at this time. All efforts will be made by the Eta Chapter to insure these individuals are properly compensated for their dismissal caused by the decision of the University.
The Eta Chapter, as a whole, is disappointed with the decision made by the University. These gentlemen will be without housing and a meal option for the next seven (7) months. Although these young men will not have a place on campus to call home or practice the rituals of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, their bond of brotherhood will endeavor."

Ojika's huge day lifts Winona State to 49-14 victory
MINOT, ND - Chichi Ojika posted the third-best rushing total in Winona State history, leading the Warrior football team to a 49-14 victory over Minot State Saturday in Minot, ND.
The senior speedster finished his day with 242 rushing yards, averaging 13.4 yards per attempt. It was his second consecutive game with over 100 yards on the ground and the first time since Rayon Simmons gained 200 yards against Southwest Minnesota State in 2011 that a Warrior reached 200 yards rushing.
Ojika spearheaded a Warrior attack that gained 339 yards on the ground and 558 total yards on the game. Winona State has now gained more than 500 yards of offense in back-to-back contests.
Winona State's defense was also stout, holding Minot State to 108 rushing yards while sacking quarterback Zac Cunha eighth times. Turrell Foster led the Warriors with three sacks while William Sherard had two.
WSU also forced eight Minot State fumbles, with Anthony Frisby forcing three. Morgan Weaver recovered a pair of Beaver fumbles while Matt Splon and Mike Imperiale also picked up loose balls for the Warrior defense.
Ojika set the tone for his afternoon early, breaking off an 82-yard touchdown run on just the second offensive play of the game. Ojika's 82-yard scoring rush is tied for the fifth-longest scoring run in Winona State history.
Ojika also became just the 22nd player in school history to reach 1,000 career rushing yards and now has gained 1,109 yards in his Warrior career.
Winona State jumped out to a 28-0 advantage in the first half. Quarterback Jack Nelson followed Ojika's touchdown with a 19-yard scoring scamper of his own. Nelson added Winona State's next two touchdowns through the air, finding Alan May for a 21-yard score late in the first quarter and hitting Tony Mueller for an 84-yard catch and run midway through the second.
Mueller's score was the first of his career and enters the record book as the seventh-longest scoring pass in Winona State history.
After Minot State scored just before halftime, Winona State responded with Ojika's second touchdown run on the team's first possession of the third quarter. Ojika had both carries on the Warriors' two-play, 85-yard scoring drive, including a 43-yard scoring scamper.
Josh Mikes caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from Nelson in the third quarter to make the Warrior lead 42-14 while Nelson called his own number to score the final WSU touchdown of the game.
Nelson threw for 219 yards and three touchdowns, giving him eight touchdown passes through three career games. Mikes led the Warriors with a pair of catches for 44 yards and has now caught a touchdown pass in eight consecutive games.
Foster led the Warrior defense with nine total tackles while Pat Lazzara chipped in seven.
Winona State (2-2) will open divisional play next weekend when it hosts Upper Iowa. Kickoff is set for 6 pm on Oct. 5 in Verizon Wireless Stadium.

This recipe pairs hot-off-the-grill chicken and squash with cool, crisp greens.
Choose avocados that are firm but give slightly to gentle pressure. Because avocados begin to turn brown after being cut, wait to add them to recipes until just before serving so that they retain their bright color.
Grill baskets are perfect for cut-up vegetables. A hinged basket can be flipped easily to turn everything at once and ensure even cooking.
Butternut squash is peanut shaped with a peel that ranges in color from cream to yellow. Inside, the flesh is bright orange and very sweet. For the best flavor, choose a firm, unblemished squash.

Apologies in advance for writing a long blog post about the dull and specialised subject of double-entry accounting from the Unix tools perspective, that ends up talking about Monads to boot. I can't believe I'm about to write such a thing, but I'm finding it an oddly interesting subject.
double-entry accounting
I've known of, though probably not really understood double entry accounting for a while, thanks to GnuCash. I think GnuCash did something rather special in making such a subject approachable to the layman, and I've been happy to recommend GnuCash to friends. I was stoked to find a chapter in my sister Anna's new book that happily and plausibly suggests readers use GnuCash.
But for my personal use, GnuCash is clunky. I mean, I'm a programmer, but I can't bring any of my abilities to bear on it, without a deep dive into the code. The file format is opaque (and a real pain to keep checked into git with all the log files); the user interface is often confusing, but there's no benefit to its learning curve, it never seems to get better than manually entering data into its ledger, or perhaps importing data from a bank. I've never found the reports very useful.
I've got perhaps a year of data in GnuCash, but it's fragmented and incomplete and not something I've been able to motivate myself to keep up with. So I have less financial data than I'd like. I'm hoping ledger will change that.
I've known about ledger for a while, at least since This Linux Weekly News article. It's a quintessential Unix tool, that simply processes text files. The genius of it is the simplicity of the file format, that gets the essence and full power of double entry bookeeping down to something that approaches a meme. Once you get the file format stuck in your head, you're done for.

starting to use hledger
Now as a Haskell guy, I was immediately drawn to the Haskell clone, hledger. It's nice that there are two (mostly) compatable implementations of ledger too. So from here on, I'll be talking about hledger.
I sat down and built a hledger setup for myself the other day. I started by converting the GnuCash books I have been keeping up-to-date, for a small side business (a rental property). It quickly turned into something like programming, in the best way, as I used features like:
- Include directives, so I can keep my business data in its own file, while pulling it into my main one.
- Simple refactorings, like putting "Y 2012" at the top, so I don't have to write the year in each transaction.
- Account aliases, so I can just type "rent", rather than "income:rental" and "repairs:contractor" rather than "expenses:home repair:contractor"
- All the power of my favorite editor.
a modern unix program
While I've been diving into hledger, I've been drawing all kinds of parallels between it and other modern Unix-friendly programs I use lately. I think we've gone over a bit of a watershed recently. Unix tools used to be either very simple and crude (though often quite useful), or really baroque and complex with far too many options (often due to 10-30 years of evolution). Or they were a graphical user interface, like GnuCash, and completely divorced from Unix traditions.
The new unix programs have some commonalities...
They're a single command, with subcommands. This keeps the complexity of doing any one thing down, and provides many opportunities for traditional unix tools philosophy, without locking the entire program into being a single-purpose unix tool.
hledger's subcommands range from querying and reports, to pipable
They have a simple but powerful idea at their core, that can be expressed with a phrase like "double entry accounting is a simple file format" (ledger), or "files, trees, commits" (git).
Building a tool on a central idea is something I strive to do myself. So the way ledger manages it is particularly interesting to me.
They are not afraid to target users who have a rather special kind of literacy (probably the literacy you need to have gotten to here in this post). And reward them with a lot of power.
Ledger avoids a lot of the often confusing terminology around accounting, and assumes a mind primed with the Unix tools philosophy.
If there's a GUI, it's probably web based. There's little trust in traditional toolkits having staying power, and the web is where the momentum is. The GUI is not the main focus, but does offer special features of its own.
hledger's web UI completely parallels what I've doing with the git-annex webapp, right down to being implemented using Yesod -- which really needs to be improved to use some methods I've developed to make it easier to make webapps that integrate with the desktop and are more secure, if there are going to be a lot more programs like this using it.
importing data
After manually converting my GnuCash data, I imported all my PayPal history into hledger. And happily it calculates the same balance Paypal does. It also tells me I've paid PayPal $180 in transaction fees over the years, which is something PayPal certianly doesn't tell you on their website. (However, my current import from PayPal's CSV files is a hackish, and only handles USD currency, so I miss some currency conversion fees.)
I also imported my Amazon Payments history, which includes all the Kickstarter transactions. I almost got this to balance, but hledger and Amazon disagree about how many hundreths of a cent remain in my account. Still, pretty good, and I know how much I paid Amazon in fees for my kickstarter, and how much was kicked back to Kickstarter as well. (Look for a cost breakdown in some future blog post.)
At this point,
hledger stats says I have 3700 transactions on file,
which is not bad for what was just a few hours work yesterday.
One problem is hledger's gotten a little slow with this many transactions. It
takes 5 seconds to get a balance. The
ledger program, written in C, is
reportedly much faster. hledger recently had a
O(n^2) slowdown fixed,
which makes me think it's probably only starting to be optimised. With
Haskell code, you can get lucky and get near C (language, not speed of
light) performace without doing much, or less lucky and get not much better
than python performance until you dive into optimising. So there's hope.
harnessing haskell
If there's one place hledger misses out on being a state of the art modern Unix program, it's in the rules files that are used to drive CSV imports. I found these really hard to use; the manual notes that "rules file parse errors are not the greatest"; and it's just really inflexible. I think the state of the art would be to use a Domain Specific Language here.
For both my Amazon and PayPal imports I had CVS data something like:
date, description, amount, fees, gross
I want to take the feeds into account, and make a split transaction, like this:
date description
assets:accounts:PayPal $9.90
expenses:transaction fees:PayPal $0.10
income:misc:PayPal -$10.00
This does not seem possible with the rules file. I also wanted to combine multiple CVS lines, to do with currency conversions, into a single transaction, and couldn't.
The problem is that the rules file is an ad-hoc format, not a fully programmable one. If instead, hledger's rules files were compiled into standalone haskell programs that performed the import, arbitrarily complicated conversions like the above could be done.
So, I'm thinking about something like this for a DSL.. I doubt I'll get much further than this, since I have a hacked together multi-pass importer that meets my basic needs. Still, this would be nice, and being able to think about adding thing kind of thing to a program cleanly is one of the reasons I reach for the Haskell version when possible these days.
First, here's part of one of my two paypal import rules files (the other one extracts the transaction fees):
amount-field 7
date-field 0
description-field %(3) - %(4) - %(11)
base-account assets:accounts:PayPal
Bank Account
That fills out the basic fields, and makes things with "Bank Account" in their description be categorised as bank transfers.
Here's how it'd look as Haskell, carefully written to avoid the
operator that's more than a little confusing in this context. :)
main :: IO () main = convert paypalConveter paypalConverter :: [CSVLine] -> [Maybe Transaction] paypalConverter = map convert where convert = do setAmount =<< field 7 setDate =<< field 0 setDescription =<< combine " - " [field 3, field 4, field 11] defaultAccounts "assets:accounts:PayPal" ==> "expenses:misc:PayPal" inDescription "Bank Account" ? "assets:accounts:PayPal" ==> "assets:accounts:checking"
That seems like something non-haskell people could get their heads around, especially if they didn't need to write the boilerplate function definitions and types at the top. But I may be biased. :)
Internally, this seems to be using a combination Reader and Writer monad that can get at fields from a CSV line and build up a Transaction. But I really just made up a simple DSL as I went along and thew in enough syntax to make it seem practical to implement. :)
Of course, a Haskell programmer can skip the monads entirely, or use others they prefer. And could do arbitrarily complicated stuff during imports, including building split transactions, and combining together multiple related CVS lines into a single transaction.

Hi everybody!
I am relatively new here and just want to ask for some advice from you guys!
Firstly I am a massive Star Wars fan, yes I know we all are here, but I have only just started to collect the figures (boxed).
What I was thinking is perhaps buying a few case assortments, taking the figures I need and then selling the rest on ebay or something like that.
I was just wondering how much a case assortment would be, I know it would be cheaper than buying the figures separately. Also if anyone knows of any good wholesalers who sell case assortments please reply to this thread with prices.
I am mainly looking for the new saga figures at the moment but any help would be appreciated.
Cheers guys and gals!

Badr Hari Attempted to Pay Off Beaten Bouncer
- Written by Dave Walsh
If you've been paying attention to the kickboxing world in 2010 you'll notice that Badr Hari's name has been continually coming up in regards to a February altercation in front of an Amsterdam night club. This led to a brief stint in prison as well as Badr Hari missing the K-1 World Grand Prix, a glaring omission from this year's tournament for all the die hard fans.
Dutch newspaper "The Telegraaf" is now reporting that Badr Hari had originally paid off the bouncer to not come forward with his name. Through intermediaries, the bouncer had asked Badr Hari for 15,000 Euros (around $20,000 USD). Badr Hari's lawyer, Benedicte Ficq, decided that it was in their best interest to pay the bouncer some money to keep him quiet on the "false" allegations. Instead, they opted to pay 5,000 Euros (around $6,500 USD) as to not damage Hari's career.
"It was hush money paid to the doorman, who had been asked to stop discussing the incident. There is absolutely no truth to it. The doorman kept gossiping and chat that Hari had beaten him, which is not true. It could cause Hari lot of damage to his career, so I thought my client would be smart to pay. "
As you can see, this did not exactly turn out the way that they planned it.

Your suspicions are confirmed: We did have the classic green-bean casserole with fried-onion topping on the brain when working on this recipe. But sweet, nutty roasted Brussels sprouts and a woodsy blend of wild mushrooms will make this luxurious variation a hit on even the most traditional holiday table. The fried shallots provide an irresistible savory crunch.
Leave a Review
The fried shallots are labor intensive but so worth it. This also makes a ton (12 servings legitimately), so be mindful of that. The mushrooms released a lot of water, so we omitted the extra water. We loved this and would definitely make again!
Hmmm. I'm reading all the bally hoo, etc. here. I thought this was just wretched. Sorry. Only time I've ever had to complain about an epicurious recipe.
Crazy delicious! My wife and I go back for thirds with this recipe and my mother-in-law takes the leftovers and raves about them! Ha! I tried a different burssels sprouts recipe tonight and while it was good, it was nothing compared to this one!
Delicious! This is a rich, tasty way to prepare brussel sprouts. I made the recipe as is. It took longer than I expected to get through the steps, but it was worth the time. Would be an excellent addition to an autumn dinner party,
Made this for my wife and I, so 3# of sprouts weren't necessary, but the recipe split pretty easily. The portion of the recipe covering the mushrooms and onions was perfect. The brussels sprouts temp might have been a touch high. That said, it was a great dish & a wonderful variation from traditional sprouts.
I've made this 4 or 5 times in the last couple of years and it gets better every time. Tried the suggestion to fry the shallots and use the oil to marinade the brussel sprouts last time. Delicious! Found Chantarelles at Costco, with Shitake, Button and Crimini it was fabulous. And just before topping with Shallots added just the slightest drizzle of White Truffle oil. I didn't get any at the potluck. They were gone well before the end of the line.
Made these twice in three days - we loved them that much! Don't forgo frying the shallots, it brings a fabulous touch to the dish. Don't skip a step, it's worth it! :)
These turned out fantastic. I have made them twice and have converted family members that previously disliked Brussels sprouts. I chose this recipe because it adds flavor to the sprouts without bacon fat (like many recipes use), being mindful of vegetarians in my family. The first time I made the recipe, I was unable to find fresh wild mushrooms. I used dried mushrooms and reconstituted them, using the extra liquid in place of the wine. It worked wonderfully. The second time I made them (for Thanksgiving), I followed the recipe exactly. The crispy shallots add a lovely texture and the mushrooms add a great savory touch. I made the shallots the day before and they were still perfect the next day. Just make sure that they are cooled completely before packing them up so they don't get soggy. Also, be sure not to overcook the sprouts!
Fantastic recipe. I made one change...instead of frying the shallots I roasted them along with the brussel sprouts and it was delicious.
I made this for our Thanksgiving gathering. I received several compliments on this - yes, for brussels sprouts. I only made one change: cooked the shallots first, so that I could use the shallot infused oil on the sprouts before roasting. That film of oil left in the pan is adds great flavor to the mushrooms as well.

'Playboy Architecture'

A group of Princeton University Ph.D. students have been involved in a research project led by Professor of Architecture Beatriz Colomina that looks at the influence of architecture on Playboy Magazine from 1953 to 1979, and the magazine's impact on architecture and design culture in the United States through its vision of a desirable contemporary lifestyle. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
BEATRIZ COLOMINA: This is called
Playboy Architecture.
And it is 1953 to 1979.
And the whole project started
as a research project with
Ph.D students here
at Princeton.
And it's a research project,
which started with the very
simple realization that
architecture plays an enormous
role in the magazine.
The magazine had been
studied from every
single point of view.
Major scholars like Umberto Eco
have written about Playboy
and the literature of Playboy
and other things.
But nobody seemed to have
realized the significance that
architecture and design
had for the magazine.
So about--
what is it--
four years ago, we started this
series of seminars on
[INAUDIBLE], where we went
through the magazine
identifying all the moments
in which architecture
or design was there.
And it was extraordinary.
It was an extraordinary
BRITT EVERSOLE: The conception
for the show was, in fact, to
take apart the magazine,
to explode it into its
constituent parts, and to look
at the role of design, as it
played itself out in
constructing what we call
during the conception of the
show, the imaginary of
seduction, or an architecture
of seduction.
To imagine how design and
architecture played a role in
creating a kind of environmental
effect that the
Playboy could use to more or
less to seduce the Playmate in
the apartments.
DARIA RICCHI: Basically, I
contributed to the writing
part, as I told--
so about how fiction and
storytelling was part of
Playboy, especially
in the '50s.
And so let's say I was
responsible for gathering all
the fictive writing, so the
short stories that were
published in those years.
BEATRIZ COLOMINA: So the
students were collectively in
the research and the research
materialized in an exhibition,
a publication, a catalog,
a conference,
and all of the above.
So it's not only a reflection on
media, on architecture, but
a way of experimenting with
media by the students
BRITT EVERSOLE: The Ph.D.
Program at Princeton is
specifically geared towards
students who already arrive
with an idea of the kind of
research that they want to do.
And the openness of the
curriculum allows you to
immediately dive in, not just
to the work that you want to
do, but also into basically
constructing a kind of
professional identity
for yourself.
These kinds of projects, where
we work as teams, project us
out into the world from the very
first year or two that
we're already at Princeton.

Enter the world of the Pendleton: The original owner became a recluse - and was rumored to be more than half mad - after his wife and two children were kidnapped in 1896 and never found. The second owner suffered a worse tragedy in 1935, when his house manager murdered him, his family, and the entire live-in staff....
Craftsmen and laborers working on renovations disappear or go mad....
For years, the Pendleton is a happy place, until a bad turn comes again....
Voices in unknown languages are heard in deserted rooms, everywhere and nowhere....
Disturbing shadows move along walls but have no source....
Images on security monitors show strange places that exist nowhere in the building or its grounds....
A young boy talks of an imaginary playmate - who turns out to be terrifyingly real....
A figure like a man but clearly inhuman is glimpsed in the courtyard gardens at night and in other locales, perhaps a hoaxer of some kind, seemingly oblivious of those who see it - until it suddenly takes an interest in one of them....

"A riveting story"
I really enjoyed this from start to finish. The narrator used his considerable skill to have me believe more than one person was telling the story and the story itself was Fresh and quick.
"great book"
the narrator was fantastic and made each character come to life. greatest book again by Dean Koontz
"hit or miss"
As with most Dean Koontz books they are hit or miss this is a hit, not a 5 star but a solid 3 plus so i gave it a 4, some parts are pretty funny, in that D.K sort of way.
sort of like the Langoliers by s. King
If you are a fan you will like the book,
"Not his best work"
I'm admittedly, a huge Koontz fan, readily downloading his latest books as soon as they're available. 77 Shadow Street, however, fails to live up to his normal edge of your seat style. There are far too many characters, a strange scientific twist that's all too reminiscent of Michael Crichton's "Prey" and in the end, the book labors over description with far too much detail.
Sure, it's got some great lines and the normal Koontz morality about good and evil. Sadly missing was a canine protagonist. All in all, fairly disappointing. Sorry Dean!
"There are no dogs to save you this time!"
Dean Koontz spins a horror story that does not require a dog to save the world!
The poor (well, not too poor) residents of an old building encounter odd goings on. Are they hallucinating when the building appears to change? Have alien beings descended? Are those other-worldly ghosts or tricks of the mind?
77 Shadow Street is a book for the masses and will likely shovel in quite a few new Koontz readers. The book seems reminiscent of another Koontz titled The Taking but it is certainly not a re-hash. Sadly though, I kept comparing 77 Shadow to The Taking and it started getting on my nerves because so many strange things happen in this book that were just enough alike for me to keep doing a comparison.
Likely Koontz wanted people to be more scared and unnerved by the goings-on in the building and while I did get that eery claustrophobic feeling a few times it did not scare me as much as I would have liked.
Peter Berkrot read for the audiobook and was not the right choice as he did not bring that sense of forboding required to bring 77 Shadow Street to life. This is one of those books where I wonder "If I read it would I like it more?". Likely I would have liked it more but it's too late now.
If you are a Dean Koontz fan, you will like it. It has all the trimmings with unique characters, some fun evil people, a fast-paced storyline and a very unique plot. Trixie fans will still like the book with the lack of dogs since the cats are naturally quite evil, proving Labrador Retrievers are still the best companion when all hell is breaking loose.
"Dean Koontz - 77 Shadow St."
A story that could make you shiver.
There was no problem with his performance. The problem lies with the story.
The One,
How many times can mold, mildew, fungi be described before the only emotion left is one of repulsion. It's hard to believe that anyone would find this story remotely scary. Dean Koontz should stick to wraiths and the spiritual realm rather than depicting monsters and ghouls. The only redeeming features are the experience through a child's eyes and the final chapter with its benign insanity.
"I wasted my credit"
The story just goes on and on about the same thing with a number of characters - I just wanted to go
I've been a Dean Koontz fan for years but it seems this story was something he threw together just because his editors told him it was time for another book.
"I wasted my credit"

This book is great for the hyperactive. It will bore them into a coma
Will wait for a review from other listeners.
As the reader progressed in the story I could pick up his boredom with the story. Just a bad performance.
If I were the editor and Mr Koontz I would buy every print copy of 77 Shadow St and have them recycled into a better purpose. Toilet Paper
Character development and Sterotypes are better in a game of Clue than in this book. A complete and total waste.
"one of the worst I have ever read"
I will try another book by Dean Koontz. I have read all his previous ones
He could have at least tried to follow some kind of a story line
Dick Hill
I would cut nearly all of them because they added nothing to the storyline.
The best I can tell this is totally worthless. I can hardly believe Dean Koontz even wrote this!!
"Bad and boring!"
This book was so boring that I could not finish it. Usually, Koontz's books, although not amazing books (except for a few select titles), are still fun to read and often really funny. Not this one. After about two hours, I decided that I have beeter things to do with my limited time. Disappointing!
"Disappointing, a total let-down."
If I saw decent reviews. I've always liked his work, with the exception of the Odd Thomas books. This one had not yet been reviewed when I got it. Big Mistake.....Looks like he threw something together just to have something to release.It was long, repetitive and boring...I just kept hoping it would end soon. I finally just quit without finishing it.
Everything. I'm not sure he really wrote this sad attempt.
Until now, I've always bought Dean Koontz books with no second thought. Will think twice (or more) in the future before wasting a credit on him.
"awful !!"
I love Dean Koontz but this is awful hate the narrator, story really hard to follow sound quality really poor very very disappointed want my credt back !
"I agree with Sarah, BORING"
I found this book uninteresting and somehow predictable. I would save the narrator, however, who is very good.
"Detailed but a poor read"
I usually enjoy Dean Koontz, but his most recent books have failed to hit the mark for me. I'm not sure whether he has found God in recent years but this book would certainly suggest so. Very preachy, not nearly has disturbing as early novels.
Yes as I was sewing whilst listening - had I just been listening I'd have said no!!
The little autistic girl. The fact it only had one setting.
He reads it so I can do other things at the same time!!
Another book where I got to the end and thought "is that it?!!"
Not a patch on my favourite Dean Koontz (Watchers).
"Lost its way"
I enjoy koontz books and i have read most of his work . I was disapointed in this story . I felt the plot became very complicated and over discriptive . It lost a lot of the suspence by jumping from character to character.
over all if you like the syfi koontz then this is for you ..
"this is a must"
Excellent, a little confusing in parts, but just great to listen to and wish it to go on...
"Bit boring really"
Have you seen that Family Guy episode when they make fun of S King and D Koontz, saying they'll make a story out of anything? That's what this was like. Haunted house, check, kid with problems, check, future of world depends on ex-military/navy seal, check, the end.

1.34: Safety in Science
Research in physical science can be exciting, but it also has potential dangers. For example, the field scientist in this photo is collecting water samples from a polluted lake. There are many microorganisms in the water that could make her sick. The water and shore are also strewn with dangerous objects such as sharp can lids and broken glass bottles that could cause serious injury. Whether in the field or in the lab, knowing how to stay safe in science is important.
Safety Symbols
Lab procedures and equipment may be labeled with safety symbols. These symbols warn of specific hazards, such as flames or broken glass. Learn the symbols so you will recognize the dangers. Then learn how to avoid them. Many common safety symbols are shown in the Figure below.
Q: Do you know how you can avoid these hazards?
A: Wearing protective gear is one way to avoid many hazards in science. For example, to avoid being burned by hot objects, use hot mitts to protect your hands. To avoid eye hazards, such as harsh liquids splashed into the eyes, wear safety goggles. You can learn more about these and other lab hazards and how to avoid them at this URL: http://www.angelfire.com/va3/chemclass/safety.html.
Safety Rules
Following basic safety rules is another important way to stay safe in science. Safe practices help prevent accidents. Several lab safety rules are listed below. Different rules may apply when you work in the field. But in all cases, you should always follow your teacher's instructions.
Lab Safety Rules
- Wear long sleeves and shoes that completely cover your feet.
- If your hair is long, tie it back or cover it with a hair net.
- Protect your eyes, skin, and clothing by wearing safety goggles, an apron, and gloves.
- Use hot mitts to handle hot objects.
- Never work in the lab alone.
- Never engage in horseplay in the lab.
- Never eat or drink in the lab.
- Never do experiments without your teacher's approval.
- Always add acid to water, never the other way around, and add the acid slowly to avoid splashing.
- Take care to avoid knocking over Bunsen burners, and keep them away from flammable materials such as paper.
- Use your hand to fan vapors toward your nose rather than smelling substances directly.
- Never point the open end of a test tube toward anyone—including yourself!
- Clean up any spills immediately.
- Dispose of lab wastes according to your teacher's instructions.
- Wash glassware and counters when you finish your work.
- Wash your hands with soap and water before leaving the lab.
In Case of Accident
Even when you follow the rules, accidents can happen. Immediately alert your teacher if an accident occurs. Report all accidents, whether or not you think they are serious.
- Lab safety symbols warn of specific hazards, such as flames or broken glass. Knowing the symbols allows you to recognize and avoid the dangers.
- Following basic safety rules, such as wearing safety gear, helps prevent accidents in the lab and in the field.
- All accidents should be reported immediately.
Examine this sketch of students working in a lab, and then answer the question below.
- These students are breaking at least six lab safety rules. What are they doing that is unsafe?
- What hazard do think this safety (Figure below) symbol represents?
Safety symbol.
- Identify three safety rules that help prevent accidents in the lab.
- Create a safety poster to convey one of the three rules you listed in your answer to 2.

In addition, they had stocked the pegs w/ fig's that I havent' seen too much of lately (from the 1st wave in April). It's good to see they are trying to increase their sales by having their full selection on the sales floor.

Waking up several times in the night meant getting out of bed at 5:30 became "sleeping in." Recycling netted me over ten bucks, then I took advantage of some deals and coupons to get some clothes for school (yeah, four weeks into the school year?). Graded some, watched a little football. Went to linner at Olive Garden, then got sucked into some 9/11 shows until about 10pm or so.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
A bit of a Saturday: spent 2 hours taking care of my grandpa in the late morning, then picked up my niece, took her shopping for the evening's meal, hung out at my place playing video games and setting up her new cellphone until my sister got off work, then we marinated the steaks for a few hours while we went swimming from 6pm to 10:45pm. Around 9 my sis was kind enough to throw down the steaks and corn and green onions, I brought down the potato salad and onion dip and drinks, we ate in the bbq gazebo and some raccoons got fairly brave - my niece is nearly 15 but never been camping and got a little nervous. We finished that up with more swimming and then Thrifty-brand chocolate malted krunch. It was a pretty great Saturday.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

That's great Barry!
I'll have to tell him congratulations.
Well in the meanwhile, I needed money for Star Wars figures.
So I robbed the stagecoach and murdered a few people for money. Also won some at poker. A guy called me out as a cheater so I killed him, too.
Then the sheriff got out after me and we met for a gun battle in the streets!
My gunfighter gang took home a lot of rewards from the action we saw on Saturday.

Slept in a tad (which in space talk is about a million blinks), dropped off recycling and went to a car wash fundraiser (after returning home to get the ticket I left on the table ). Graded a bunch, watched my college football teams win, watched a DVR'd Lewis Black routine over dinner. Basically stayed indoors since it was heavy hot outdoors.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Chauffeured Mrs. TI7 round on errands, during which we were momentarily surrounded by a police pursuit on the freeway (the suspect ended up being a Scooby Snack at its termination. Moral: don't resist the coppers or their land sharks). My car got a bath as well but no fund raising involved. Laundry. Dinner out with Mrs. TI7 because it was payday from my second job.

I fractured my arm at my 2nd Cavalry west wars re-enactment. (Just post-Civil War "Hell on Wheels" era.)
They were filming for a movie with a director from Star Trek (DS9 and Voyager) too.
I was coming in for a rescue with the cavalry as we took on (ironically) members from my own gunfighter club who were holding up the train.
We had to shoot and hop on the train, catching it as it moved by and then draw swords and fight the hijackers on board.
It so happened that I was in practice working with the entire cast on both sides!
My San Diego Civil War Roundtable also gave a presentation (in the air conditioning, thankfully) about the history of the steam engine and famous hold-ups from Harper's Ferry to Jesse James. The history club provided great food and drink for all.
But I had to go and get the arm x-rayed after we wrapped for the day and my a/c went out in my truck - like exactly 1 week and 2 days after the first year garaunteed items on the warranty expired of course.
I'm on a good dosage of pain killer medacine for my arm (fractured - not broken) but I fell hard on my left because my gun is worn on my right and I didn't want to risk a tumble there and have it go off accidentally shooting myself in the leg. That would have been worse.
But my cat is still sick and I have to take her to the veterinarian's again - with only one good arm for help.

Love is in the air in Almost, Maine. On a cold, clear night in the tiny community, best friends fall for each other, a couple falls apart and strangers experience love at first sight – and that's just a small part of the bigger story. Tupelo High School Theatre Company is presenting the romantic comedy "Almost, Maine," next weekend, taking audiences on a trip to the small, magical, mythical town of Almost, Maine.
"There are nine different scenes, and they're all about love in one way or another," said director Allana Austin.
For example, there's Randy (Hamilton Lence) and Gladys (Pierce Lehman), best friends who literally "fall" for each other.
Gayle (Mary Clair Kelly), unhappy with her boyfriend, Lendall (Alex Soderstrom), demands he give her back all of the love she gave him.
Glory (Laura Gray) and East (Colm McCool) are strangers, but their chance meeting is perfect: her heart is broken, but he's a repairman.
"There are all of these individual stories, but they all take place in one Friday night. They all know each other, and they make reference to each other," she said.
Not every story is full of hearts and flowers. One heart-breaking scene is about married couple Phil (Tyler Swinney) and Marci (Kaitlin Flowers), who are at the end of their relationship.
In their scene, called "Where It Went," the couple have just gone ice skating and Marci has lost her shoe. As the couple wonders where it went, they also wonder, well, where their relationship went.
"It's a play on 'waiting for the other shoe to drop,'" Flowers said.
Whereas some of the other scenes are more light-hearted, Marci and Phil's story is definitely more serious.
"It's heavy," Flowers said. "We're not the sweet love story."
On the other end of the spectrum is the odd love-at-first-sight story between two strangers.
McCool is having fun with his role as East, a repairman who finds the broken-hearted hiker Glory camping out in his back yard, and seeing how the pair's story fits in with everyone else's.
"There's romance, tragedy, comedy," McCool said. "This is like all of Shakespeare's plays had a baby, but the focus is on romance."
