One second he was hunting. The next, he was falling. Faster than the blink of an eye, the snap of a cable, the greedy pull of gravity, a sickening drop and, by the grace of God, the arrest of a safety harness made for a noteworthy end to an otherwise uneventful morning for Fletcher Moorman of Carrolton.
He and his father were hunting separate locations on their family's land in Yalobusha County Dec. 29 when it happened.
"My dad had just texted me he was heading my way because we had to get out of the woods early," Moorman, a Baptist minister, husband of 15 years and father of children ages 13 and 9, said. "I stood up on my platform looking the way my dad would be coming, facing away from tree, watching for any deer he might push my way. I felt the stand break and the next thing I know, I'm hanging from my harness. My harness has those sewn-in loops in the tether that slow you down when it drops. I hung there for just a few minutes thinking, 'Is this for real?'"
Moorman's harness is a Hunter Safety System Treestalker, a modern safety harness that connects to the legs, waist and shoulders then attaches to the tree by way of a strong tether. Hunters who use platform- and ladder-style tree stands are encouraged to wear these harnesses religiously but, much like seatbelt-use campaigns for car and truck passengers, the effort has met with mixed success over the years.
"I haven't used it like I should have over the years," Moorman said. "It's a miracle that I haven't been hurt, but the Lord was looking out for me that day. I had it on and I won't ever leave home without it again."
Thankful for his blessed escape, the first thing Moorman did after regaining his composure was make a cell phone video of his predicament and post it on Facebook.
"If you don't own a Hunter Safety System or something like that," he says in the video, "from just one brother to another, I advise you to get one."
The video has since been viewed by countless hunters and their friends nationwide, something Moorman said he didn't expect but he's humbled to have had happen.
"I've had a lot of groups ask me to come speak at their men's wild game supper and tell about it," he said, "and I thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to do that, because it could have been bad."

Stabenow (D-MI) has a bill to give the $7500 rebate to the buyer at the time of sale, instead of waiting until this year's tax refund check. I don't think that happened when people bought the first $100 TI calculator in the 1970's.

BBC's change of strategy
British journalist, former editor of the Russian Features department in BBC Masha Karp wrote that she received a written warning over airing a programme "The Life and Death of Alexander Litvinenko" December 18, 2006. Her managers found that the programme presented "much stronger and detailed arguments from one side of the discussion and under-represent[ed] the other". In a phone call the day after airing, a senior BBC Russian Service editor told her that "pro-Kremlin guys sound stupid and Bukovsky and the others sound intelligent".[1]
Karp wrote that BBC closed her department and removed the need to broadcast opinions "not heard on the state-controlled media" from its strategy.
One year later Martin Dewhirst, University of Glasgow, and Victor Suvorov complained about BBC Russian Service's lack of impartiality. In their letter to the complaints unit of the corporation they mentioned that Deputy Head of the region and Editor-in-Chief of the service could have regular contacts with KGB in the past.[2]

Cycling with Fish
Cyling with Fish
Once you start to cycle (all methods) do no cleaning of the filter media or the gravel. You are growing bacteria in those areas and that bacteria is what cycles your tank. This can not be stressed enough. Also, not use ammonia removers or pH adjusters or other chemicals except your water conditioner that removes chlorine and chloramines. You may use a bacteria booster if you wish to help the fish tolerate toxic water a little better but keep in mind these booster do NOT cycle the tank for you. They do not take the place of the water changes you still will need to do.
Do not try to cycle a tank with any bottom feeders or sensitive fish.
The purpose of cycling a fish tank is the production of "good" bacteria that eats the ammonia and nitrites that kill the fish. Ammonia eating bacteria is called Nitrosomona and the bacteria that eats the nitrites are Nitrobacter. They grow in your filter media. Having these bacteria's are what is known as a cycled tank. These bacteria's grow faster in warmer temperatures with lots of oxygen so turn your heater up to 82 and add an air stone or bubbler.
Unless you have well water, you must always use a de-chlorinator. Some even use water conditioners with well water as it removes the heavy metals that may be present. The chlorine in your water supply will kill bacteria immediately. Many water municipals also use chloramines as a means of sterilization so get a product that removes chlorine and chloramines. Most de-chlorinators do both but read the label. Some age their water to remove chlorine. However, storing water does not remove chloramines.
Fish produce ammonia from their gills, from rotting food in the tank and from their waste. Ammonia continues to build up until the water becomes toxic and kills them.
If you cycle with fish, it must be with extreme caution, daily testing of the water and doing many water changes to make sure the ammonia never climbs over .25-.50 maximum. (Some fish can not ttolerate even this level.) This is why test kits are vital so you know what the toxic level is in your tank. Bacteria does NOT grow in the water so do as many water changes as necessary.
After you have a low ammonia level for a time, you will began to see nitrites register on your tester and the ammonia will began to go down. Nitrites are also toxic and water changes and testing must continue.
As you reach a cycle....0 ammonia and 0 nitrites.... you can again add a few more fish and once again cycle with the new additions. This must continue on after each addition of new fish until you have your tank stocked as you wish. You only grow enough bacteria in your filter media to support what you have in the tank.
If you began with too many fish at once, you will have very high levels of ammonias and they will likely all die so this stocking must be done carefully.
Never plan on a fast cycle when cycling with fish. It can take a couple months compared to a couple weeks fish-less cycling. Smaller tanks get more toxic than larger tanks due to the water concentration so be very careful in how much you stock when starting out.
The better filtration you have, the more space you have for "good" bacteria to grow. Feed the fish sparingly. Rotting food in the gravel only adds more ammonia to the tank and fish eat far less than you think.
Last edited by Lady Hobbs; 11-24-2012 at 06:43 PM.
I thought I would add a little extra explanation of the above instructions
When it comes to completing waterchanges, you should complete one whenever your ammonia and/or nitrites get above 0.25ppm to 0.5ppm.
When completing a waterchange, you should base the amount of the waterchange on your test results changing enough water to bring the levels back down to 0.25ppm or less. For example, if your ammonia or nitrite is at 0.5ppm, you will need to complete a 50% water change to lower the levels back down to 0.25ppm. If the ammonia or nitrite was at 1ppm, then you will need to complete a 75% water change to lower it back down to 0.25ppm.
In extreme situations, more than one waterchanged could be needed. If the ammonia and/or nitrite levels were to reach 2ppm, then two 75% water changes completed within about 20 minutes of each other would be required. However, if you are checking your ammonia and nitrite levels daily and staying on top of any required waterchanges, you should not find yourself in this situation.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo

La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians Improving Collection and Disposal of Household Hazardous Waste
Last year, the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians was awarded two new grants from the EPA to assist in the further development and management of the Tribe's transfer station. The Tribe received a 2009 Tribal Solid Waste Management Assistance Project Grant and a 2009 Hazardous Waste Management Grant from EPA. The Tribe currently operates a transfer station on their reservation located in Northern San Diego County, California.

Pit River's Path to Solid Waste Sustainability
The Pit River Tribe has successfully brought solid waste and recycling collection to their tribal homes and businesses. Funded with a grant from USDA and EPA, the Pit River Tribe hired a solid waste coordinator and technician, purchased a collection vehicle and bins, and established the Pit River Solid Waste and Recycling service. The Tribe established a drop-off recycling center that accepts electronic waste, recyclables, and reusable materials; a car crushing operation; and a "pay-as-you-throw" collection program. In order to gain acceptance for the "pay-as-you-throw" program, the Tribe rolled program out slowly, starting it initially as a free service then gradually introducing fees. The Tribe also worked closely with their finance department to ensure proper accounting and billing. After two years of operation, the program has successfully overcome 100-mile haul distances to provide service to low-income rural tribal members who were previously not served. In order to bring the program closer to sustainability, the Tribe gained generous support from their Tribal Council, and found creative ways to generate additional program income by renting their collection vehicle and clean-up bins. This program provides tribal members with a consistent service, and open dumping and burning on the Tribe's land has been greatly reduced.
More Information
Redding Rancheria Closes Yard Dump
The Redding Rancheria Tribe in Redding, California successfully closed a 300 square yard dump along a stream bank of Clear Creek near the Sacramento River, using both tribal funds and EPA grant funding. Extensive hand-labor was used to remove large quantities of scrap metal, white goods, miscellaneous containers, and other scrap metals. By removing the debris by hand, the Tribe was able to preserve the natural soils and maintain the integrity of the hillside landscape, as well as prevent further contamination of Clear Creek. Approximately 2.29 tons of mixed garbage was removed and 12,430 pounds of metal was removed and recycled. Invasive vegetation that grew along the hillside was also removed and composted. Currently, the hillside is being restored by the growth of native grasses and wildflowers.
Pinoleville Transforms Trash
The Environmental Department of the Pinoleville Pomo Nation in Ukiah, California has found new uses for abandoned trailers, transforming a field of trailers on the Pinoleville Tribal Lands into a tool shed. The shed uses the tin from the trailers for the walls and wire fencing recovered from a dumpsite to hold the tools. The only purchased material in shed is the roofing material. Future trash-transformation projects include constructing a ramp out of abandoned tires; building a greenhouse using abandoned trailer trusses; and using recovered bathtubs and sinks to hold potting soil and plants in the greenhouse.
Fort Independence Reservation Reduces Waste by 26% through Recycling
Fort Independence Indian Reservation in Owens Valley, California has built a successful, nationally recognized solid waste program from the ground up with Tribal leadership and grant support from U.S. EPA Region 9's Office of Pollution Prevention and Solid Waste and the General Assistance Program. With EPA's assistance, Fort Independence pioneered a weekly curbside trash and recycling collection service, developed an environmentally preferable purchasing policy for its tribal offices, produced public service announcements, and created a Solid Waste Ordinance to safeguard the Tribe's natural resources.
Full Independence Reservation story
Torres Martinez Collaborative
Joined by federal, state and local agencies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Torres Martinez Tribe announced in October 2006, a multi-agency agreement to clean up dumps and clamp down on illegal dumping at the Torres Martinez Reservation.
The EPA provided $265,000 to Tribal Chairman Ray Torres to support the Tribe's work in developing an environmental program. The Torres Martinez Collaborative includes 25 federal, tribal, state, and local agencies including Riverside County, California Integrated Waste Management, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The EPA and the Torres Martinez Tribe have accomplished a great deal over the last decade; the Tribe now has an active environmental program which has closed dumps, impounded vehicles caught dumping trash, and conducted public outreach on dumping.
Hoopa Valley Tribe's Blake Apparatus Helps Clean Up Open Dumps
The system referred to as the "Blake Apparatus" enabled the crew of the Hoopa Tribal EPA to clean up 4 open dumps in 2006 with a substantially reduced work force. In FY 2006, a total of 44 tons of trash, appliances and scrap metal were removed from 8 acres of Reservation lands.
What normally would have cost as much as $2500 per site in contractor fees was instead reduced to just the cost of the 4 person TEPA staff to carry out the on ground clean up work. It also made the physical job of cleaning open dumps in steep, unstable terrain during the hot summer months much easier and less strenuous for the crew.
The Blake Apparatus was designed to operate off the front end of a pick-up truck with a winch powered cableway. It is a portable system that can be transported in the back of any pick up truck, set up in less than 10 minutes and operated by one person.

2010 Fight of the Year: Part 6
- Written by Dave Walsh
Our next entry is the 2nd fight from K-1's big double Final 16 weekend, and is a fight you knew had to be on this list...
"Iron" Mike Zambidis v. Chahid Oulad El Hadj (K-1 MAX Grand Prix Final 16, October 3)
It's rare that we get fights like this - fights where both men throw down with so much passion that the energy just grabs you. Where neither man wants to give in, and both push each other to the limit. In the UFC, Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar had one of those fights, and it helped save the company. This one likely won't have that same impact on K-1 MAX, but if things were right with the world, it would. This is, quite simply, an amazing fight; you can tell from the passion in the commentary, the cheers from the crowd, and hopefully your own feelings while watching. What makes it even better is that it is a fight between two men who always were able to deliver excitement, but had not found themselves on the winning side lately. Zambidis's last K-1 appearance was a loss to Hinata, while Chahid had recently recovered from a terrible 2009. Neither man seemed like they would be a real factor in the Grand Prix, but together they provided the greatest highlight of MAX's year.
Enough words... sit back and enjoy.
Previously featured:

Olympus Announces 2006 Winners Of Olympus Innovation Award Program
Enhanced Program Recognizes Winners from Lehigh University, University of Pittsburgh and University of Nevada-Reno
CENTER VALLEY, PA (March 27, 2006) - Olympus, a precision technology leader in designing and delivering innovative solutions in healthcare and consumer electronics worldwide, today announced Dr. John Ochs, Lehigh University; Dr. Michael Lovell, University of Pittsburgh; and Dr. John Kleppe, University of Nevada-Reno as the 2006 winners in the Olympus Innovation Award Program. The program recognizes individuals who have fostered and demonstrated innovative thinking in education. The winners received their awards from Dr. Stephen S. Tang, group vice president and general manager, Life Science, Olympus America, in Portland, Ore . at the 10 th Annual Meeting of the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA), Olympus' partner in conducting the program.
Ochs, 57, professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Integrated Product Development (IPD) program at Lehigh University, won the Olympus Innovation Award, which recognizes a faculty member who fosters an environment of innovative thinking among students through inventive teaching methods and hands-on opportunities. Lovell, 38, associate dean for research and associate professor of industrial engineering, School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, received the Olympus Emerging Educational Leader Award. Offered this year for the first time, the award recognizes an individual who has inspired innovating thinking in students in a discrete area and who, the judges believe, has the potential to make even greater contributions to the field in the future. Kleppe, 67, chairman and professor of electrical engineering, University of Nevada-Reno, won the Olympus Lifetime of Educational Innovation Award, another new award category recognizing faculty members who have demonstrated a sustained contribution throughout their careers to stimulating and inspiring innovative thinking in students in their own universities and throughout academia.
"I am honored to have served as Olympus' judge for our 2006 award program with the NCIIA, and I salute the winners for their outstanding accomplishments," said Tang. "They have not only been exemplary teachers but also champions of innovation and entrepreneurship, which are integral parts of our culture at Olympus and critical for companies to successfully compete in today's global economy."
"We are excited about the extended award program, which allows us to recognize the work of more individuals," added Phil Weilerstein, executive director, NCIIA. "Through this program, Olympus continues its strong commitment to education as an important way to foster innovation in America."
Ochs, who will receive $10,000 as winner of the Olympus Innovation Award, was recognized for founding and building Lehigh's 12-year-old IPD program, a unique undergraduate program that fully integrates the three fundamental pillars of successful product design and commercialization: design arts, engineering and business. Ochs has also championed the Lehigh Entrepreneurs Network of alumni, students and staff. He was instrumental in forming cross-disciplinary faculty working groups that have piloted dozens of new courses and hands-on interdisciplinary programs throughout the university. These programs have attracted millions of dollars of development funds to support the infrastructure now in place. Schools across the world emulate the IPD program, which has won several national awards. Ochs, a former national chair of the American Society for Engineering Education's Entrepreneurship Division, was a finalist in last year's Olympus Innovation Award Program.
Kleppe, who created and operated a successful manufacturing company while working at the University of Nevada-Reno (UNR), won the Olympus Lifetime of Educational Innovation Award for his outstanding 37-year career as an engineering educator. He has received several teaching awards. His pioneering senior capstone class, supported by UNR's Lemelson Center for Invention, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, is recognized nationally and internationally for teaching engineering students how to invent, patent, produce, market and sell inventions. Many of Kleppe's former students have either started their own companies or have assumed key responsibilities at emerging companies. In addition to his work at the university, Kleppe has taught at Northern Nevada high schools. His award includes a $2,500 prize.
Lovell received the Olympus Emerging Educational Leader Award for his work fostering innovation among student entrepreneurship teams during just five years at the University of Pittsburgh. As the founding director of the Swanson Center for Product Innovation, Lovell secured NCIIA funding to develop a novel curriculum in new product development for undergraduate business and engineering students that resulted in more than 70 NCIIA-supported E-Teams (E for Excellence and Entrepreneurship), which in turn formed seven companies and attracted additional NCIIA grants. Lovell also developed an E-Team Prototyping Service Center that led to the formation of RAPID, a network of 21 academic institutions that are committed to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship among E-Teams. In recognition of his work, Lovell will receive $1,000.
Ochs, Lovell and Kleppe were selected from numerous qualified faculty nominated by colleagues at NCIIA member institutions, including many top colleges and research institutions in the United States. The winners were determined by a committee of five judges, including Steven Nichols, professor of mechanical engineering, University of Texas at Austin, the winner of the 2005 inaugural Olympus Innovation Award; Tang; Weilerstein; Dr. Abigail Barrow, founding director, Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center; and Dr. Arthur A. Boni, deputy director and John R. Thorne professor, Donald H. Jones Center for Entrepreneurship, Carnegie Mellon University.
Selection criteria for the Olympus Innovation Award included teaching and program design innovation, problem solving, quality of outcomes, quantitative impact, institutional change, individual influence, inspiration to innovate, motivation to action and societal impact. Nominations for the Olympus Emerging Educational Leader Award were evaluated based on initiative, institutional impact, motivation to action, teaching and program design innovation and influence on peers. Review criteria for the Olympus Lifetime of Educational Innovation Award included period of active engagement, respect of peers, teaching and program design innovation, quality of outcomes, quantitative impact and positive institutional change. All selection criteria were weighted and evaluated on a 1-5 rating scale.
The Olympus Innovation Award Program, now in its second year, represents Olympus' ongoing commitment to technological innovation and education. For more information about the program, contact the NCIIA at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.nciia.org .

- From Clearing to Cataloging: The Corpus of Tunisian Mosaics
- God's Regents on Earth: A Thousand Years of Byzantine Imperial Seals
- For over a thousand years the Byzantine Emperor ruled as God's regent of earth. The decisions of the individuals who sat on the throne had repercussions throughout the Byzantine world and far beyond. Decrees, letters, judgments, and commands left Constantinople every day signed by the emperor in red ink and secured with the imperial seal. The designs of the imperial seals provide an insight into the minds and policies of the rulers whose image they bore; they tell us not only how they wished to be viewed by the recipients of their letters, but also how they viewed themselves.
- The Byzantine Emperors on Coins
- One hundred twenty seven Byzantine coins, one for each Byzantine emperor, plus the few usurpers who struck coins are presented in this online exhibition. All the objects have been selected from the Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Coin Collection in order to present the viewer with a glimpse into one of the largest Byzantine coin collections in the world.
- Leaden Gospels
- To accompany the 2013 Spring Symposium "New Testament in Byzantium," this exhibit presents and discusses several of the rare Byzantine lead seals from the collection that depict New Testament narrative scenes and figures.

"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Night '90 is a great movie, worthy of inclusion in the Romero Pantheon IMO. Not sure if I could quite rank it with the other 3 of my favorites but it's right up there (even if the Bill Moseley dummy does take me out of the cemetary scene ).
So that's what the hell a Borat is. I just recall at Comic-Con they, totally unannounced, play a pretty damned explicit clip in one of the Hollywood panel sessions. Nothing on the schedule to indicate it, just wedged in right before Stardust/The Transformers.
That reminds me: I need to write to Comic-Con and complain about this. I haven't done so yet, and it had slipped my mind. I personally wasn't offended, but there were a lot of kids in the room whose parents had no reason to believe there'd be five minutes of two naked guys in a fight that simulated various sex acts. I really felt bad for a guy who walked in with his (probably) five year old daughter right as it came on, and stood there in the aisle with a "holy tapdancing crap, what the hell am I going to tell her about this?" look on his face.
If the schedule says Quentin Tarantino or Kevin Smith are giving a panel, you know to expect a lot of profanity. Don't bring the little ones unless you don't mind hearing the F-bomb fifty times in a ten minute period. But this was beyond ridiculous to show without any indication that anything out of the ordinary would be on the screen.
And it was funny for about three seconds of the five minutes, then got older than any joke I've ever seen.
That's my jacket!

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Borat is great Chux, he does some great sendups of his interview subjects.
His rendition of the Kajakstani national anthem at the minor league baseball game was just on HBO again not long ago and I love that one. "I like USA, do you like me?"
Many of my favorite Borat bits can't be typed here.
My problem wasn't that he wasn't funny (though he seems like an updated of Yakov Smirnov to me), or that the scene showed was offensive, but that it was so explicit, and shown completely without warning. When the movie comes out, if the scene isn't cut, you'll see what I mean.
That's my jacket!

With the recent mention of Kevin Smith; I watched Jersey Girl tonight. Good flick!
Sounds about right. I still don't believe he has his own movie, but I'm going to check it out. I did enjoy Blue Collar, the first one moreso than the second one. I didn't care for the tv show. Good to hear you liked it though.Originally Posted by JetsAndHeels
Yea... At first I wanted those Raptors to gut and eat the kids, but now they don't really bother me. Gotta love Jeff Goldblum... Oh yea, and that Snakes on a motherf**king plane guy!!!Originally Posted by Rocketboy
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
I'm watching The Silence of the Lambs right now for the first time in awhile...I love it. It's very nostalgic for me as I recall reading the novel around age 13 and then seeing the movie when it came out on VHS. In fact it was the first movie I ever bought. I also remember watching it do well at the Oscars and I thought it was cool that this scary movie was getting some recognition.
So yeah, I put it in tonight and right now they're rolling Hannibal up to Senator Martin.
The cast is great, I could do a whole post on the cast but for now I'll just cite a few pop cultural references that came out of this movie which I still love:
1) That Wayne's World sketch where Mike Myers refers to Miggs as flicking his "man g**" on Jodie Foster
2) Clerks II, natch
3) Stewie on Family Guy with the "It rubs the lotion on its skin" bit
Great movie. Ted Levine steals the show.

A Pro-Nazi U.S. Army Unit in WWII
|5:13:13 PM, Sunday, February 20, 2011
"Yep. Gather round, little grasshoppers, and I will tell the strange tale.
I know it sounds like the reverse of a Quentin Taratino movie, but it is true: During World War II, the Army intentionally formed a unit chockablock withfascisti and their suspected sympathizers. What a sensible idea -- much better than kicking them out into society and losing track of them.
This is all discussed in the new issue of Army Lawyer, where Fred "Three Sticks" Borch has a fascinatingarticle about PFC Dale Maple, a brilliant young man who was born in San Diego in 1920 and who graduated from Harvard with honors but then, because he was bad, was found guilty of treason and sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead.
Young Maple spoke many languages. But his favorite, alas, was German. At Harvard he got kicked out of ROTC for being vocally pro-German when that just wasn't cool, according to a separate article on him that I just read. Stymied in his hopes to do post-graduate work in Berlin, which was busy with other things at the time, he enlisted in the Army in 1942. The Army had just the place for him: the 620th Engineer General Service Company, which despite its innocuous name was actually a holding unit for about 200 GIs of suspect loyalty, many of them German-born. The unit, which was not given weapons, was located in Camp Hale, Colorado, which is far from any port, but happened to next to an detachment of German PoWs on a work party.
And thereby hangs this tale. In February 1944 Private Maple decided it would be a good idea to help some hard-boiled eggs from the Afrika Korps escape to Mexico. Southward he drove them though New Mexico-a lovely drive, I've done much of it. Just across the international border, Mexican authorities caught them all and tossed them back. (Is there a derogatory term for people who illegally cross from the U.S. into Mexico, besides "stupid gringos"?) Maple was tried and found guilty and secretly sentenced to death. President Roosevelt clemently commuted his sentence to life, and he was released in 1951. Maple's claim to notoriety is that he was the first American-born GI ever found to have committed treason.
As best as I can tell from an internet search, Maple then moved back to San Diego and, like a Tom Waits song, went into the insurance business. He apparently died 10 years ago."

The Diamond Mine Vehicle Graveyard of Namibia
|3:16:28 PM, Sunday, February 20, 2011
"Oranjemund, Namibia. It seems to be the largest diamond mine vehicle graveyard, and yet there are barely any pictures of it. Satellite photos of the area could let you guess how big it is. The mine owned by De Beers is reputed to have the largest private earthmoving fleet in the world.
From the texts I have found here and there, my understanding is that that people are not allowed to visit those the area for safety reasons, hence the lack of available photos."
World's First Anti-Laser Built
|11:34:16 PM, Saturday, February 19, 2011
"More than 50 years after the invention of the laser, scientists at Yale University have built the world's first anti-laser, in which incoming beams of light interfere with one another in such a way as to perfectly cancel each other out. The discovery could pave the way for a number of novel technologies with applications in everything from optical computing to radiology.
Conventional lasers, which were first invented in 1960, use a so-called "gain medium," usually a semiconductor like gallium arsenide, to produce a focused beam of coherent light -- light waves with the same frequency and amplitude that are in step with one another.
Last summer, Yale physicist A. Douglas Stone and his team published a study explaining the theory behind an anti-laser, demonstrating that such a device could be built using silicon, the most common semiconductor material. But it wasn't until now, after joining forces with the experimental group of his colleague Hui Cao, that the team actually built a functioning anti-laser, which they call a coherent perfect absorber (CPA).
The team, whose results appear in the Feb. 18 issue of the journal Science, focused two laser beams with a specific frequency into a cavity containing a silicon wafer that acted as a "loss medium." The wafer aligned the light waves in such a way that they became perfectly trapped, bouncing back and forth indefinitely until they were eventually absorbed and transformed into heat…"
Astronomy Picture of the Day: Hidden Treasures of M78
|2:41:03 PM, Saturday, February 19, 2011
M78 isn't really hiding in planet Earth's night sky. About 1,600 light-years away and nestled in the nebula rich constellation Orion, the large, bright, reflection nebula is well-known to telescopic skygazers. But this gorgeous image of M78 was selected as the winner of the Hidden Treasures 2010 astrophotography competition. Held by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the competition challenged amateur astronomers to process data from ESO's astronomical archive in search of cosmic gems. The winning entry shows off amazing details within bluish M78 (center) embraced in dark, dusty clouds, along with a smaller reflection nebula in the region, NGC 2071 (top). Yellowish and even more compact, the recently discovered, variable McNeil's Nebula is prominent in the scene below and right of center. Based on data from ESO's WFI camera and 2.2 meter telescope at La Silla, Chile, this image spans just over 0.5 degrees on the sky. That corresponds to 15 light-years at the estimated distance of M78.
China and Colombia Announce 'Alternative Panama Canal'
|2:36:07 PM, Saturday, February 19, 2011
"Colombia has announced it is negotiating with China to build an alternative to the Panama Canal.
The proposed transport route is intended to promote the flow of goods between Asia and Latin America.
The plan is to create a "dry canal" where the Pacific port of Buenaventura would be linked by rail, across Colombia, to the Atlantic Coast.
Trade between Colombia and China has increased from $10m in 1980 to more than $5bn last year.
The announcement came from the Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos, who told the Financial Times that the project was "a real proposal... and it is quite advanced".
China has been increasing its involvement across Latin America to feed a growing need for raw materials and commodities.
According to BBC Bogota correspondent Jeremy McDermott, President Santos has departed from the emphasis on security of his predecessor Alvaro Uribe.
Mr Uribe's Democratic Security Policy, backed by US military aid, is credited with halving the numbers of Marxist rebels and pushing them into the more remote jungles and mountains.
Mr Santos is concentrating on what he calls "democratic prosperity", our correspondent says.
He hopes that economic development will address some of the root issues of the 46-year civil conflict, such as poverty and the lack of opportunities, which have pushed people into being rebels or into the lucrative drug trade, our correspondent says…"

FBI Urges Congress to Expand Internet Wiretapping
|2:25:39 PM, Saturday, February 19, 2011
"The FBI urged members of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security on Thursday to update the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and make it easier for authorities to eavesdrop on Internet.
The act was passed in 1994 and requires telecommunication companies to design their equipment and services to ensure that law enforcement and national security officials can monitor telephone and other communications whenever necessary.
"Over the years, through interpretation of the statute by the Federal Communications Commission, the reach of CALEA has been expanded to include facilities-based broadband internet access and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services that are fully inter-connected with the public switched telephone network," FBI General Counsel Valeria Caproni told the subcommittee.
"Although that expansion of coverage has been extremely helpful, CALEA does not cover popular Internet-based communications modalities such as webmail, social networking sites or peer-to-peer services."
"As a result, although the government may obtain a court order authorizing the collection of certain communications, it often serves that order on a provider who does not have an obligation under CALEA to be prepared to execute it," she explained. "Such providers may not have intercept capabilities in place at the time that they receive the order."
The proposal to expand CALEA would require companies involved in online communications to re-engineer their software so that law enforcement could easily access it.
In October 2010, the New York Times reported that the Obama administration was drafting new regulations to make it easier for authorities to eavesdrop on Internet and e-mail communications…"
100-Foot-Long Narco Sub Found in Colombia
|12:16:31 AM, Friday, February 18, 2011
"The Colombian military has seized a 100-foot-long submarine capable of transporting eight tons of cocaine from Colombia to Mexico, news reports say.
The vessel was found in a jungle area in Timbiqui in southwestern Colombia on Sunday, according to a report from RTT News.
Colombian navy officials said the homemade sub had two diesel engines and sophisticated navigational equipment that would enable it to travel to Mexico while remaining up to 30 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
The vessel was set up for a crew of four but was unoccupied when found, RTT reported. Officials estimated it would have cost $2 million to build.
The submarine is just the latest example of crafts smugglers have made to try to get their illicit cargo past law enforcement.
Last year, VBS.TV got access to the Colombian naval base where many captured smuggling vessels are taken."

Thousands of New Stars Emerge in Glowing Nebula
|9:25:00 PM, Thursday, February 17, 2011
"Thousands of young stars come to the fore in in this beautiful new image from the Spitzer Space Telescope.
The previously unseen stars were born around 1,800 light-years from Earth in a region called the North American Nebula. In images that capture the same range of light that human eyes can see, the nebula looks like the eastern seaboard of the United States, down to the Gulf of Mexico. But most of that light is reflected off clouds of dust that hide infant stars. Only about 200 young stars were known before.
This image breaks through the clouds to find more than 2,000 new objects that may be young stars. (More data processing will determine their nature.) Because Spitzer is sensitive to infrared wavelengths that can sense heat, it can see the glow of the dusty, buried stars.
"One of the things that makes me so excited about this image is how different it is from the visible image, and how much more we can see in the infrared than in the visible," said Spitzer astronomer Luisa Rebullin a press release. "The Spitzer image reveals a wealth of detail about the dust and the young stars here." A paper detailing the observations has been accepted in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series.
Stars are born inside collapsing balls of gas and dust, which flattens into a disk that spins together with the star like a record album. As the star ages, the disk is thought to congeal into planets. Most of the dust is expected to dissipate by the time the star is at the center of a mature solar system.
The new Spitzer image shows stars in all stages of development, from dust-blanketed infancy to early adulthood, when stars are new parents to a growing family of planets.
Despite the new views of its growing stellar family, the North American nebula is still shrouded in mystery. The group of massive stars that is thought to dominate the nebula is still unseen. The Spitzer image and images from other telescopes hint that the missing stars lurk behind the Gulf of Mexico portion of the nebula.
In this image, infrared light with a wavelength of 3.6 microns is colored blue; 8.0-micron light is green; and 24-micron light is red. Since taking this image, Spitzer ran out of the coolant needed to keep the two longest wavelength detectors working. Spitzer is still snapping photos in the two shorter wavelength bands."
'Periodic Table of Shapes' to Give a New Dimension to Math
|9:14:12 PM, Thursday, February 17, 2011
"Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes together in the same way as the periodic table links groups of chemical elements.
The three-year project should provide a resource that mathematicians, physicists and other scientists can use for calculations and research in a range of areas, including computer vision, number theory, and theoretical physics.
The researchers, from Imperial College London and institutions in Australia, Japan and Russia, are aiming to identify all the shapes across three, four and five dimensions that cannot be divided into other shapes.
As these building block shapes are revealed, the mathematicians will work out the equations that describe each shape and through this, they expect to develop a better understanding of the shapes' geometric properties and how different shapes are related to one another.
The work is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Society and the European Research Council.
Project leader Professor Alessio Corti, from the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London, explained: "The periodic table is one of the most important tools in chemistry. It lists the atoms from which everything else is made, and explains their chemical properties. Our work aims to do the same thing for three, four and five-dimensional shapes -- to create a directory that lists all the geometric building blocks and breaks down each one's properties using relatively simple equations. We think we may find vast numbers of these shapes, so you probably won't be able to stick our table on your wall, but we expect it to be a very useful tool…""

Bees Who Work For the Police
|12:28:00 PM, Thursday, February 17, 2011
"Here's a nerve-wracking notion. Let's say you have an illegal plant in your garden or even in your home. And let's presume this plant (because it's marijuana, or some genetically altered vegetable that's illegal in Europe) will get you in trouble if the police find out.
Now imagine that your local police have their own bees, bees they release each morning to scour the neighborhood looking for illegal plants.
Getting nervous? Now look at this interview with a man who appears to be some kind of London Police Inspector with their "Genetics Surveillance Unit":
This video was created by Thomas Thwaites. He calls it, "Policing Genes." In it, Mark Machan, identified as a Metropolitan Police Bee Keeper, explains how the police maintain 43 bee hives in South London and, "a little bit of [nearby] Kent," how these bees collect pollen in the neighborhood and then, being bees, they return to the hive to tell the other bees exactly where the good plants are. Bees give directions by performing a "waggle" dance.
The police, meanwhile, have developed software to read bee communications. As Mr. Machan explains, "There's a video camera in each hive. And what we're able to do is to decode that, to tell us where the location of the pollen is." In the video, a computer seems to lock onto the waggle dance and transmit decoding signals in green, red and blue…"

In Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW, players get to choose a funny show character—Finn, Jake, Marceline, or Cinnamon Bun—to help Princess Bubblegum save Candy Kingdom. To do so you must explore the dungeon to find out how prisoners are escaping. Along the way, stop and talk to friendly characters that can help you fight your way through 100 floors.
What will kids like about this game?
It's a simple and easy game to pick up. You can play with up to three friends. Each character has their own stats that allow for buying upgrades. And, most importantly, looting castles is fun!
What tips would you give other players?
Try to get a hold of sub-weapons like the Kitten Gun or Sack of Butter to help attack your enemies. The floors get harder as you move along, and some become timed. Each time you lose to an enemy, you lose some of your valuable earnings.

I use to think that increasing production was key to lowering prices at the pump. It use to work that way but, with today's worldwide demand for gasoline and diesel, the more that is produced the more that is bought. There is only one way to lower prices and that is to develope and use alternative fosil fuels. Worldwide consumption is up, not down. Here is the USA, the number of V8 engines on the road is at an alltime high. Most will continue to drive gas guzlers, including myself, until we have a viable alternative like CNG in fullsize factory installed trucks.
We have the resources domestically to be energy independent and to continue to import mideast oil is not the solution as well as the fact that we make our enenies rich beyond imagination!

Heart, home and faith have always been important to Lisa Jordan, so writing stories that feature both comes naturally to her. She has been writing contemporary Christian romance for more than a decade. Lakeside Reunion is her debut novel. Her second novel, Lakeside Family, will be released in August 2012 by Love Inspired.
Happily married for over twenty years, Lisa and her husband have two young adult sons. When she isn't writing or caring for children in her in-home childcare business, Lisa enjoys family time, romantic comedies, good books, crafting with friends and feeding her NCIS addiction.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--Hubby and I eloped 22 years ago.
--I'm older than I appear.
--I hate coffee, but love the smell—I'm an avid tea drinker.
--I'll take caramel over chocolate, but the combo is even better.
--I'm hopelessly addicted to peanut butter.
Oh, great. Pardon me, please, while I take a coffee/chocolate/peanut butter break. I'm so easily influenced these days!
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Lakeside Reunion.
Bed-and-breakfast owner Lindsey Porter prays she won't run into Stephen Chase when she returns to Shelby Lake. Five years ago, the cop jilted her to marry another woman, and Lindsey fled town. But no sooner does she hit city limits than Stephen pulls her over for a broken taillight. Despite the past, he's still able to stir up Lindsey's old feelings for him.
Now a widower and single dad, Stephen recognizes a second chance when he sees one. And he'll do anything to make Lindsey trust in God and take a risk for love—again.
What is it about Lindsey and Stephen that will make your readers care about them?
Everyone has gone through heartbreak, whether it's the end of a relationship or losing a loved one. My characters' heartbreaks transformed their lives, reshaping who they are today. I believe readers will be able to identify with the myriad of emotions my characters have experienced. I think we've all been there at one time or another.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
This is totally going off looks, but Charlize Theron is how I picture Lindsey.
And Australian model Ian Lawless for Stephen.
Here's a hint for your well-to-do fans and loved ones: If you could have any one writing-related gift for Christmas this year, what would it be? The sky is the limit!
A week long writers retreat for my writing team—my mentors, my writing support group, my agent, and my editor. They have shaped me into the writer I am today. Without them, Lakeside Reunion would not be debuting this year.
What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
One of my all-time favorite novels is Sons of Thunder by Susan May Warren, which won a Carol award at ACFW this year. Sons of Thunder is a story that takes the reader's heart on an adventure with vivid characters that leap off the page and an incredible storyworld that pulls the reader into the setting. I laughed and cried while reading this book, but by the time I reached The End, I learned more about the craft of writing than reading a how-to book. Susie is a fabulous story teller.
What are you working on now?
I just signed the contract for my second novel, Lakeside Family that will be released in August 2012 by Love Inspired, so I'm finishing up the revisions on that. Then I will begin plotting my third novel so I can write the rough draft during NaNoWriMo.
Where else can readers find you online?
My website, Twitter, My Author's Page on Facebook, My Book Therapy (forum coordinator, e-zine editor).
And here's an excerpt from the novel.
The book is available at fine bookstores and for online purchase through these buttons:
Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
Have you taken a risk for a second chance at love? What did you learn about yourself in the process?
I'm holding a scavenger hunt and lakeside photo contest to promote my Lakeside Reunion release. Visit my Lakeside Reunion Contest page for more information. The token for this blog is a picture frame.

How Early Is Too Early For Braces?
Content Provided By Dr. Scott Ralph
How Early Is Too Early For Braces?
When most of us think of children in braces, we picture teens or pre-teens. However, in some cases it's a good idea to start even earlier. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child be screened by an orthodontist no later than the age of seven.
Seven is the ideal age to schedule an orthodontic appointment for your child for two reasons: baby teeth and permanent teeth. Seven-year-olds have both. If you child does show signs of an orthodontic problem, and treatment is in order, the presence of baby teeth makes correction easier. If you wait until all the permanent teeth have come in, it can be tougher to correct certain problems – sometimes resulting in longer and more complicated treatment.
Every case is different, and for each child who requires orthodontic attention, there is an ideal time to begin treatment, based on the type and severity of the problem, the growth stage of the child, and any contributing factors (including heredity and oral habits like thumb sucking). Identifying problems early in development allows us to make the most of the growing years to guide the proper development of the jaw and teeth. We also have the chance to impact appearance and self-esteem at an early age.
We are specially trained to detect orthodontic problems, even in young children whose baby teeth appear straight and normal. However, there are signs you can watch for at home. If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may want to consider an orthodontic evaluation even prior to age seven:
- Did your child lose his or her baby teeth much earlier or later than average?
- Does your child exhibit any difficulty in chewing or biting?
- Is your child a mouth breather?
- Is your child a thumb sucker or finger sucker?
- Are your child's teeth crowded or misplaced?
- Does your child's jaw make clicking sounds?
- Does your child regularly bite the inside of the cheek or roof of the mouth?
- When your child closes his or her mouth, do the teeth miss each other instead of meeting properly?
- Are your child's teeth or jaw out of proportion to the rest of the face?
If you have any questions about early orthodontic treatment or suspect that your child may need an evaluation, please give us a call.

Im encouraged by the Dolphins, Gannon said in an interview Thursday. You dont want to say they got off to a great start because theyre 1-3, but they could easily be 3-1. And that theyre doing it with a rookie quarterback I think speaks volumes with what this team can accomplish.
Gannon pointed out that the Dolphins have a mind-boggling run differential averaging 153 yards on the ground per game, while only allowing 56 yards per game and that coach Joe Philbin ran one of the best training camp practices I ever saw. He sees a team that doesnt know how to finish games off now, but will soon.
I think this team learned how to practice and compete, and doing it in that environment in the heat and humidity, Gannon said. I think youre going to see a much different team as the season goes along, a team that gets stronger and knows how to finish. You had a team that had no reason to play in the second half of the year last year, and they finished really well, and I think theres some character on that team, I really do.
Of course, Gannons positive impression of the Dolphins starts with rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill who despite a 2:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a 66.4 passer rating has played far better than anyone expected of him this season.
You look at a guy that played some receiver in college, had only 19 starts, I think your first thought is, Geez, whats the learning curve going to be like? Gannon said. And to think that if they could just finish a game theyd be 3-1 right now, its kind of amazing.
Gannon said Tannehills ability at the line of scrimmage far surpasses his experience.
The communication with this guy before the snap in the shotgun, hes redirecting the line, changing protection, making the right calls, all those type of things that typically that take off of a young quarterback, Gannon said. I think that the continuity around him (with the coaching staff) has helped him, but theres no question hes a sharp kid. Im very impressed with how well hes done so far.
Gannon said Tannehill actually reminds him of his opponent this week Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton, who led his team to the playoffs as a rookie and has the Bengals at 3-1 this year.
Im not ready to christen him yet, but he reminds me a little bit of Dalton, Gannon said. He makes a mistake, throws an interception, something happens, and it doesnt phase him, and thats one of the best attributes that Dalton has. I think were seeing that out of Ryan. Hes got great confidence and the ability to turn the page, whether its good or bad.
If you go back and look at a couple of the interceptions the first one he threw in the Houston game, my gosh, its a terrible route. The guy doesnt finish the route, and Ryan throws it in there and it gets picked off. You can fault the quarterback I suppose, but I think when you start judging the position and you say whats the most important thing about playing the quarterback position decision making I think hes been pretty steady.

With its commandments and parables, its kings and its prophets, the Hebrew Bible has served as a reference point for Western politics for centuries. Almost every kind of political movement, it seems, has drawn its own message from the text. For the contemporary left, it inspires calls for social justice and the redistribution of wealth. The right, meanwhile, uses it to preach adherence to traditional social values and family structures.

Is this a transistor :
There are 2 PCB's visible in your pictures.The second PCB, which is only visible in the 3rd. picture might have a relay (relais) on the invisible side.You can probably alter the PCB so that that relay will not be connected to the 230 volts DC anymore.Then you can use those contacts to switch your Arduino.This still will require you to power the PIR sensor from 230 V, and i'm hesitating to advise you to do so (because you have to ask this question).

In a clash of heroes,the kingdom is born. At the end of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in ill health; his heir, an untested youth. His enemy, the Danes, having failed to conquer Wessex, now see their chance for victory. Led by the sword of savage warrior Harald Bloodhair, the Viking hordes attack. But Uhtred, Alfred's reluctant warlord, proves his worth, outwitting Harald and handing the Vikings one of their greatest defeats. For Uhtred, the sweetness of victory is soon overshadowed by tragedy.
Breaking with Alfred, he joins the Vikings, swearing never again to serve the Saxon king. Instead, he will reclaim his ancestral fortress on the Northumbrian coast. Allied with his old friend Ragnar--and his old foe Haesten--he aims to invade and conquer Wessex itself. Yet fate has different plans. The Danes of East Anglia and the Vikings of Northumbria are plotting the conquest of all Britain. When Alfred's daughter pleads with Uhtred for help, he cannot refuse her request. in a desperate gamble, he takes command of a demoralized Mercian army, leading them in an unforgettable battle on a blood-soaked field beside the Thames.
In The Burning Land, Bernard Cornwell, "The reigning king of historical fiction" (USA Today), delivers a rousing saga of Anglo-Saxon England--an irresistible new chapter in his thrilling Saxon Tales, the epic story of the birth of England and the legendary king who made it possible.
©2010 Bernard Cornwell (P)2010 HarperCollins Publishers
"Wonderful Story! Wonderful Narrator!"
I have enjoyed this series so much that I have even bought the books directly from England and had them shipped to me so I wouldn't have to wait for the next installment! Uhtred of Bebbanburg is a wonderful, rough and rowdy character to view these tales through. These books have also drawn me to research the history that they are based on. I must say, I'm impressed with the quality of the historical accuracy and the overall texture of the stories.
Trust me, if you like history in the slightest you will be engrossed in the writings of Bernard Cornwell. This books is yet another spectacular example of his fine skills as a storyteller.
I was REALLY disappointed with this book. The narrator is SO different than the ones that came before that I found it distracting. His pronunciation of the place names, and people, are so different that it makes it seem like a completely different story instead of one in a series.
"lee no keeble"
the story is as good as the rest, but the narrator is not nearly as good as john keeble.
"Great Story but..."
I love all of these books! This is a great continuation of the story of Uthred. I do miss the previous narrator. It was hard to get used to the different style of reading. Once I got used to the new narrator I was able to enjoy the story. Overall I loved it!
I have waited a long time to get this book and it was excellent. This series is quite addictive as I now have my wife reading them. This book kept me on the edge the entire time! However there was a narrator change between the last two and some of the names are pronounced differently but the story itself is wonderful and I cant wait to read/listen to the next one!
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"A great series about 9th century Britain"
Historical novels stand of fall on detail. Cornwell writes as if he has been to the 9th century Wessex. Each of his battles poses different tactical questions and different answers. His accounts of the fire and slaughter, and of Viking methods of extorting money, would seem gruesomely exaggerated if they weren't so often based on old legends or confirmed by archaeology. "Saxon Tale's series is about the battle for supremacy between the Saxon and the Danes in 9th century Britain. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a fictional character is the star of the series and battles for Alfred the Great of Wessex to unify Britain. The book is written in Uhtred's voice as he looks back on an exciting life. Historically Cornwell's, major contribution is to tell the story of Ethelflaed, an actual heroine forgotten by most scholars. She is the daughter of Alfred married to the leader of Mercia. She became known as "Lady of the Mercian's." Cornwell is adept at enveloping his fictional character into British history. His use of geography, instruments of battle, strategy and ancient vocabulary is faultless. Cornwell is the master of battle scenes. Bernard Cornwell is probably the best historical novelist writing today. This series is about the battle to unify Britain by the Saxons. This is a great way to learn some British history. I greatly enjoyed the great baritone voice of John Lee, who did an excellent job narrating the story.
"I want to buy a sword...."
I am addicted to audio books, and have listened to hundreds of them. Cornwell is one of the very best writers of historical fiction. This book is full of action, with vivid descriptions of battles, a solid story line, and well-developed characters. I was entertained throughout the entire book. Narration was excellent. Cornwell has the ability to make me feel like i'm back in time. He has a unique way of helping the reader understand everyday life, in the 800's, in the context of action and intrigue. It never drags. This book, like AGINCOURT, is an excellent book, and the narration is so good that I would recommend the audible version over print. I highly recommend this book.
"An improvement"
The Burning Land is another episode in the life of Uhtred from the Saxon Chronicles, in my personal opinion I much prefer the narration by John Lee than that of Jamie Glover who narrated the 4 books of the Saxon Chronicle. His accents are very good and he manages to convey the right sense of occasion in his delivery. As always Bernard Cornwell's descriptive writing style makes it so easy to imagine the scene as it is described, all in all a compelling read with good pace and a reasonable plot.
"Mr Miyagi meets William Shatner"
Horrible narrator... I ended up asking for a refund and skipping this book. I have no idea why Lee was chosen but may Odin show mercy.
"why did they change the narrator"
John Lee did a good job it is just hard to a just after hearing the same narrator in previous books ( Jonathan keeble)
