STARKVILLE – One Trevor and some relentless defense were all Alabama needed Wednesday night.
With point guard Trevor Releford on the bench nursing a bum ankle, Trevor Lacey sparked the Crimson Tide to a 75-43 win over Mississippi State in front of a season-high 5,465 at Humphrey Coliseum.
Alabama's defense did the rest, and MSU suffered its second-worst loss since moving into the Hump in 1975. The Bulldogs (7-8, 2-1 SEC) had a three-game winning streak snapped.
"I didn't feel in one aspect of the game that we competed," first-year MSU head coach Rick Ray said.
Lacey hit three 3-pointers to open the second half to help Alabama blow the game open, and the sophomore guard scored 9 of his 11 points after halftime.
State had trouble with Alabama's full-court press and committed 21 turnovers. And it was beaten on the boards, 35-23, by an Alabama team that entered the game 13th in the league in rebounding.
"I didn't think we were very calm at all," Ray said. "They sped us up and we stayed sped up, even in halfcourt."
The Crimson Tide (10-6, 2-1) had 13 second-chance points and 25 points off turnovers.
"We just wanted to keep pressure on them, and obviously we had some success there creating turnovers and getting them out of rhythm," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said.
Turnovers aided Alabama as it scored the first 15 points of the second half, all on 3-pointers, to cap a 21-0 run. MSU was held scoreless for nearly eight minutes.
Levi Randolph, who scored 18 points, hit the final three of that sequence to give Alabama a 45-22 edge at the 17-minute, 20-second mark.
"We closed out on them, and they still made the shot," MSU guard Jalen Steele said. "We did everything we could, and they still made every shot, every layup. Every tipped ball came to them.
"Just everything was going their way tonight."
Fred Thomas led MSU with 10 points and was the only double-digit scorer. He made 4 of 8 shots and hit a pair of threes, both in the first half.
MSU shot 35.6 percent overall, while Alabama made 53.4 percent, including 8 of 13 from 3-point range.
Releford, who sprained his ankle in practice on Monday, was dressed out but never played.
"I guess we kind of slacked off since we found out he didn't play," Steele said.
A nip-and-tuck first half opened up some toward the end, as Alabama outscored MSU 10-3 over the final seven minutes for a 30-22 lead at the break.

Extreme Pro 32 GB card is 30% slower in downloading to my Sanho Colospace in UDMA mode than the Extreme IV card was.
I would keep my language clean, but this is beginning to sound like a massive (deleted) considering I spent $350 for the Pro, and I am getting slower downloads.
It is quite likely that my Colorspace UDMA device is not compatible with UDMA 6, since the device was first made in 2008. However, that seems to me to be wholly irrelevant to the question presented. And that question is why the Extreme Pro is transferring 30% SLOWER than the Extreme IV. At worst, it should transfer the same speed as the Extreme 4. And why is that?
Because, according to Sandisk, the Extreme Pro is "...UDMA: UDMA 6 enabled (works in all UDMA modes) " See: http://www.sandisk.com/products/dslr/sandisk-extreme-pro-compactflash-card
Therefore, the Extreme Pro should AT LEAST utilize the same lower capability UDMA mode as the Extreme 4 uses. And if the Extreme IV is transferring at 36-37 MB/sec to the Colorspace, then by golly the Extreme Pro should not be transferring at a lower 25-26 MB/sec.
That is, unless the lower UDMA modes are broken on the Extreme Pro. And that would be really bad news for users of Extreme Pro on cameras with lower UDMA capabilities.
Since my first posting, I have been noticing many mentions of slowness on the internet in relation to the Extreme Pro, as well as significant discounting of Extreme Pro prices. Additionally, where available, the Extreme IV remaining inventory has had remarkably high prices for a card that is a generation or two old.
Also, I have noticed a fair number of diversionary responses to people inquiring.
Is this the not-so-secret secret about the Extreme Pro that I am now aware of, only after having bought the card?
Before I start noticing the Extreme Pro prices drop below Extreme IV, can someone tell the truth about what is going on?

Lilada Gee shares a powerful message of healing with other Black female survivors of sexual assault
By Maggie Ginsberg-Schutz
Her earliest years are spotty, like inkblots splattered on what looks like an exquisite picture. But, without warning, shards of memory can slice the canvas at any given moment. The way the hot afternoon sun looked as it cut through the blinds when Lilada Gee woke from her nap that day, a tiny six-year-old girl, lying on top of her abuser's erect penis. The paralyzing, toxic fear creeping through her veins as the venom of responsibility first pierced her. As right then and there, from that moment on, his outrageous crime became her burden to bear.
"Immediately, shame filled me. Fright filled me," recalls Lilada. "So when he swore me to secrecy, I was good with it. Because I wanted to pretend like it never happened."
How it happened for Lilada was deeply personal, but what she couldn't know then—and what her abuser counted on—was that it was happening to other little girls like her all over the place. Sexual abuse is not unique to any one particular race, socioeconomic group or cultural background. It's everywhere—one in four American girls and one in six boys are victims. It's pervasive and it's choking and it blooms in silence, multiplying and creeping like a toxic mold in the dark, feeding off the rotting fruit of secrecy. Sexual abuse makes you believe that there is no one else like you out there. No one that feels the way you do, has been where you've been. It tells you you are dirty, that there's something about you that asked for this, that it's your fault. That no one will believe you anyway, if you tell. So you don't. You help keep the awful secret, becoming both hostage and coconspirator, aiding and abetting your own devastating crime.
Or, maybe, you do tell. In a best-case scenario, your abuser is prosecuted and convicted. Your family embraces you and you get some good therapy and you start to believe the truth, that it wasn't you. That there is nothing inherently wrong with you. That you are good and whole and beautiful and strong and that your perpetrator was the sick one. That you're not alone and you never were.
Or, more likely, there are years and years of bruised gray area. Maybe you freeze. Maybe you stuff it down and deny and hide it for so long that it's far too late to collect physical evidence, once you do thaw. Maybe your world explodes into fractious fragments of he-said/she-said, so-what/shut-up wreckage. Maybe you face cross-examination from friends, from law enforcement, from social service agents, from the court system.
Maybe you get up the guts to speak out to a magazine writer. Maybe she believes you, but maybe at the eleventh hour your deeply personal story is stripped down by the publication for fear of litigation. Maybe you feel, once again, the weight of the burden of proof that has always fallen on you, not your abuser. Maybe it's devastating. Maybe it isn't. Maybe you're used to being dismissed by now, as a Black woman in America, which is a whole other story. Or maybe it's this same story, too.
From the outside, Lilada Gee's life looked pretty good, and for the most part it genuinely was. Her mom, once a broke high school dropout and divorced single mother, managed to relocate to Madison, graduate Dean's List at the University of Wisconsin, remarry and raise two babies, who each went on to earn multiple degrees of their own. There was always food to eat, a car to drive, a place to live.
"We always had an abundance of things, and certainly the appearance of a really nice life," she says. "No one would have ever imagined the depth of child abuse [I was enduring]."
Despite these trappings, Lilada still had a longing inside, a kind of innate loneliness and sadness, and her abuser sniffed it out like a quiet canine. She understands this now because of years of therapy, of medication, of reflection and prayer and tears. But at the time, she only knew there was something missing inside. He knew it, too, and he perverted it. The truth is, little Lilada trusted and cared deeply for her abuser.
"I loved him to death and followed him everywhere and loved being with him," she says. "But unfortunately, people who are perpetrators, they find that longing and that vulnerability and they tie into that."
For years—years—Lilada endured unspeakable torment in silence. What the abuser did to her body was bad enough, but what he did to her mind might have been worse.
"I almost wished sometimes he'd beat the hell out of me, but he used his love that I had for him instead," she says. "He said, 'If you tell I'll go to jail.' So it just screwed up what love was, what trust was, for me."
Her escape came in a kind of a roundabout way when, at the age of nine or ten, her kid brain contorted her church's message and she started to believe she was committing a sin. After a year or two of worrying she might be going to hell if she didn't "confess," she finally approached her mom. She couldn't bear to say it all, so she squeaked this simple sentence out before her throat could close around the words: "He keeps messing with me."
It'd be nice if everything was instantly better, but of course it wasn't. At first her mother "did everything I would have hoped and imagined she would have done, embraced me, cue the happy music, all that kind of stuff," says Lilada.
But these things are complicated and messy, fraught with missteps and multiple layers. And so she suffered more violations and betrayals as her abuser came back in and out of her life, over and over for years. He tried to lay his hands on her again but Lilada, now a young adult, had finally earned better tools with which to stand up to him. He never raped her again.
Lilada grew up, married, had two kids of her own, divorced. She earned a UW–Madison bachelor's degree in education, psychology and African American studies, and got work as a Dane County Human Services social worker. In the mid-1990s, she was part of the founding team for the Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development with her brother, Dr. Alex Gee, Jr., pastor of Fountain of Life Family Worship Center. The Nehemiah Center's mission is to support and empower Madison's African American community, particularly its marginalized men.

I have been with PPL Motor Homes since 1980 and have been fortunate enough to grow up with the company. A native Houstonian, I have been blessed with years of wonderful experiences and memories of RVing with family and friends. With 3 children, 8 grandchildren and a ton of friends who I refer to as my adopted family, I was a Nana long before I became RV Nana. I was blessed to have shared this lifestyle with my late husband, a Cajun from Lafayette, and his spirit will live on in all of us as we continue down the road of life.
My life with PPL has given me so many wonderful chapters, from sharing my RV experiences as RV Nana to working with the Texas Campground Owners Association and holding the position of President of the Texas RV Association from 2011-2013, so it's easy to see that the RV lifestyle is my style. Watch for me on the road …I'm the one with the RV Nana license plates on my car and RV, and share your RV experiences with me. See you soon!

Review Details
Transit 2 Two Piece Suit
- Product Review (submitted on April 11, 2011):
- I just got the transit suit. I am very happy with it. I was worried about the fit but the fit worked well. I was in between two sizes bas on the info on the web, and went to the larger end. Worked great. The only trouble I had was it is hella difficult to zip the pants into the jacket when you are wearing it. I almost returned the suit based on this (you need to zip the two together for safety). Then from the BMW sport touring forum, I found the trick, which I decided to share here. The trick is to to start zipping the two together with your right hand. The zipper will pull about an inch or so around, and then jam. At this point, reach your left hand around behind your back, and grab the zipper in between your thumb and forefinger. NOTE: don't touch the zipper handle! That causes it to jam! Just grab the actual zipper. Now you can pull it around your back no worries. Reverse process to undo. Other than this, I can only second the other reviews.

This week I had a flock of 6 gobblers come walking by me. I'm guessing they were only 1.5 yos because they only had about 6 to 8" beards. I decided to bust them and have some fun calling them back. What I thought what would be fun turned into aggrevation. I got a good bust and moved down half way between where I busted them and where they flew. It didnt take but maybe 5 minutes and a gobbler started yelping. I tried to gobble yelp but couldnt get the just right but kept trying. The gobblers were staying on a dirt trail that ran on the edge of a cedar thicket. I sneaked down to a field and about 40 yards from where they were hoping to draw them to the field. No luck but the gobbler was still yelping and throwing out a few gobbles. After about 40 minutes the gobbler was giving me curtisy yelps as they went away from me and going to roost.
Now here is my question I have gone back to where Scott was talking about gobbler talk. I am doing something wrong and its driving me nutts. When you do the gobbler yelp do you do it in a straight line or in a circle like a hen yelp? Also, do you use less pressure on the call and/or the striker? I think I am close with a hand gernade but I need to be close enough with the shotgun.
Here is Scott's gobbler talk that Im talking about. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=17231
Any help would be good and Scott did you do those gobbles with a pot?

Digital effect provides a high quality DSP effect that's applied to the main output and is available for the monitor output as well. Effect out adjusts the amount of signal sent to the internal (or external) effect device.
Monitor Graphic EQ
Monitor Graphic EQ tailors the overall sound to the monitor output and helps to reduce the chance for feedback.
Phantom Power
The Phantom Power switch activates phantom power in the Lo-Z inputs. Phantom power is used for condenser microphones which have small internal amplifiers that require power in order to produce sound.
Monitor Master and Monitor Effect
Monitor master level adjusts the output of the monitor section. An LED meter indicates this level. Monitor effect return controls the amount of effect that is sent to the monitors. This useful control allows the performer(s) to enjoy the effect as well as the audience.
Main Graphic EQ
Main graphic EQ allows you to tailor the sound of both left and right main (audience) outputs.
Limiter LEDs
Limiter LEDs indicate when the internal amplifiers are being overworked. This warning signal helps avoid damaging the amplifiers of your speakers.
Amplifier Routing
The Amplifier routing switch allows you to bridge both the left and right power amplifiers together to provide 400-watts to a single speaker.
Main Master
Main master level adjusts the output to the main speakers. An LED meter indicates the level.
Tape In and Aux In
Tape In control adjusts the level of the signal connected to the Tape In jacks that's sent out the main stereo outputs. Aux In controls the level of the signal coming into the Aux In jacks.
Effect Return
Effect Return adjusts the amount of effect that is sent to the main outputs.
Monitor Output Jack
Monitor output jack connects additional amplifier(s) and monitor speakers when needed.
Main Outputs L and R
Main outputs (L and R) permit you to hook the EMX860ST into an existing sound system. They also let you use the EMX860ST as a sub-mixer for a larger system so you'll never outgrow the EXM860ST.
REC Out Jacks
REC out jacks connect the EMS860ST to a cassette deck or other recorder. The output level of these jacks is optimized for recording applications.
Tape in and Aux In Jacks
Tape in jacks accept a tape player or CD player output and routes it directly to the main stereo outputs. This feature allows you to keep all 8 normal inputs available for other sources. Aux In jacks allow the output of another mixer into the EMX860ST. (i.e. a keyboard player or drummer with their own sub-mixer) again leaving the other 8 inputs open for other inputs.
Foot SW Jack
Foot SW jack allows the use of a footswitch to mute the effect (this is helpful when you need to quickly turn the reverb off or on).
Effect Out Jack
Effect Out jack sends signal to an external effects processor.
Line Inputs
Line Inputs (L and R) let you get a stereo input (like a keyboard) into just one input channel. Both channels 7 and 8.
Monitor Output Jacks
Monitor output jacks to connect the monitors (stage speakers).
Bridge Output Jacks
Left and Right Bridge output jack allows hookup of BOTH main amplifiers (400W) to one speaker.
A small, quiet fan cools the 600-watts of total power.
Club Series Speakers
A complete line of speakers that sound great and work perfectly with the EMX860ST. These speakers have performed in a wide variety of venues and built a reputation for great sound, rugged construction and exceptional value. Some models feature rugged black carpet covering that stands up to the abuse of moving. Some have built in sockets for mounting on tripod stands. And six speakers even offer an oak finish for a fine furniture look.
You can add a subwoofer easily by adding these components: Yamaha P-series Power Amplifier, Yamaha PN90 Crossover and the Yamaha 2082 LNK SW118IV Subwoofer .

Pros: Inexpensive, Good bass, Great Mids, Style, Comfort, Long cord
Cons: Build material is budget, pads are vinyl, Highs can be a little fatiguing
Samson SR850 An inexpensive semi-open high performer
First let's get some information across. The Samson SR850 is a clone of the Superlux HD668B. Same headphone. They simply rebranded it and changed the style of the headband. The Samson SR850 more resembles the AKG series headphones. The Superlux HD668B more resembles the AudioTechnica series. Keep that in mind depending on which style you may prefer, as they are the same headphone and virtually cost the same. I went with the SR850 because I like the look better and the headband way better than the HD668B. This headphone is low impedance and sensitive, you will not need an amplifier at all.
Why: Well, I wanted to try out various inexpensive (budget) headphones to get a feel for what's all out there. Here at HeadFi, and other online communities, there seems to be a lot of blind suggestions when it comes to a headphone that is popular when mentioned in a thread. My favorite example is the AudioTechnica AD700 for gaming specifically. The problem is that a lot of people are recommending that headphone for someone who wants a headphone for gaming, who have never even heard that headphone, let alone gamed with headphones sometimes. Anyhow, I wanted to find another headphone that was even more inexpensive and capable of being great for gaming and music and movies all the same. After doing some hunting around, that landed me on the SR850. Part of the deal was that it had to look good and feel good, not just perform good. Again, landed me on the SR850.
What Comes in the Box:
- The headphone itself of course.
- 1/4" adapter (cable terminates into 3.5mm).
- Owner's manual (gee, thanks).
The packaging is very simple. No extravagant packaging extras, no accessories. It's just a headphone with a cord and an adapter for the termination plug. This is not a plush or luxury item. It's an inexpensive budget item. Note, I didn't say cheap as that comes off as a negative and that's not to be implied here. It's inexpensive and budget in a good way. You're not paying extra premium for junk that you throw away anyways.
Construction, Materials & Comfort:
Right away, you'll notice it looks a lot like an AKG headphone. It definitely clones their look, which is a really good thing to grab attention (which is what these kinds of marketed items are made for). The cups that house the drivers pivot, so they are not broad-straight, they adapt to whatever surface they press to. The bars on top are sturdy and provide the grip needed to keep the headphones in place. The grip is not forceful, so it doesn't cause discomfort, nor is it so completely lite that the headphone wobbles off. Very easy to wear. The headband is a vinyl that is molded/stamped to look like leather. Nothing fancy, but it's actually a nice detail compared to just getting bare vinyl I guess. The way the cups attach to the headband and bars is exactly like the AKG sets. There is an elastic band on each cup that pulls it towards the headband, that extends when you place it on yourself and pull down to increase the size of the headband for fit. Literally, the same as AKG (I compared the mechanism to my K701, it was pretty much the same build). The headphone is of course semi-open, so you can see the vents that open to the driver housing. Inside the cups, there is a filter.
The cord is long and terminates with 3.5mm, and you get a 1/4" adapter.
The pads are where the budget comes into play. The pads are decent, they are relatively large, definitely envelope the ear with some room to spare both in circumference and in depth. The material is another vinyl type material with a semi-soft foam inside. They're not super soft, but they're not hard. The vinyl material is the only part of the build quality that sort of makes me grimace, but that is because I'm hyper sensitive to non-velour/velvet pads. I don't even like the AudioTechnica M50's pads, to give you a reference point. So this fault is more my preference, not necessarily a fault of the headphone for someone else who prefers non-cloth pads.
Overall, the headphones are pretty light weight and are fairly comfortable to wear. I've put many hours into it so far and often found myself realizing, "Oh, I'm wearing the headphones...". When you hold them, they don't have a heavy metal feel, they feel like very light plastic, which they are. Plastic and vinyl. They seem to sit just fine over my glasses too.
Sound Characteristics:
When you first put on the headphones, you realize right away, they are not what you expect. These have a big sound. They have full rich bass and generous mids. The highs are very present, it's actually a sort of bright headphone and the highs are the only weak point in the sound if that's a problem for someone. It gives them a nice full sound feel with some detail etched around it.
Quick summary of the sound of the SR850:
- Bright treble (highs).
- Full bass, great impact.
- Full mids, no recession here.
- Great for literally all genres of music from acoustic to dubstep. And I tested it extensively.
- Easy to drive, no amplification needed.
- Good sound stage and separation of sounds.
Music tested included: Ani Difranco (Acoustic, Female Vocals), Regina Spektor (Folk, Pop, Female Vocals), Euge Groove (Jazz, Bassy), Ludovico Einaudi (Classical, Piano), Keith Jarrett (Classical, Piano, Live Concert), The Cranberries (Pop, Female Vocals), Elton John (Classic Rock), Avantasia (Metal, Fantasy), Buckethead (Alt. Metal), Rusko (Dubstep), Ephixa (Dubstep), JesusDied4DubStep (Dubstep), Robyn (EDM), BT (Trance, Techno), OceanLab (Trance, Techno). All in lossless format.
Treble (Highs):
The highs forward and bright. Too bright sometimes to the point of sounding like they are going to be sibilant and fatiguing, but the more I listened, the more this became less of an issue. I only noticed it really bothering me at higher volumes. At normal listening volume, I had no problem with the highs and I didn't experience sibilance. But at high volumes, beyond my listening level, it definitely goes that direction. So keep that in mind if you listen to headphones very loud. This headphone is bright and can fatigue you. Otherwise, the detail of the highs is great, it's airy too. They felt like they etched a level of detail across audio that made things like acoustic really interesting and clear to listen to. The highs are not rolled off on this headphone. This is not a laid back sound at all.
The mids are forward and present, very rich and with good clarity. The mids are not recessed or drowned out by the bass. The sound is very full and I find any headphone with solid mids and even a hint of bass will perform well in nearly all music as mids make up the bulk of what we listen to (from instruments to voice). Vocals are great, guitar sounds wonderful and piano was very powerful. I was very pleased in general with the mids as a lot of budget headphones are recessed in mids to make a bassy/treble headphone which tends to be more fun and popular. That's not the case here. Mids are full steam ahead.
Bass (Lows):
One thing you always wonder is whether an open or semi-open headphone will have any real bass to talk about. Sure they have impact and give you a touch of snap, but they don't usually have great reverberating bass that makes you want to shake your head or dance. Well, that's not the case here. This headphone has some bass. I was completely surprised how low this thing went. I'm not used to open-air headphones being able to perform bass like this. I was listening to dubstep and it was keeping up with other headphones that I have that are colored for bass. I was thrilled to say the least, being a basshead in general anyways. These SR850's provide some serious kick even though they're semi-open. Decay is not too quick, so you get a pleasing rumble, but it's not so fast that you hear no bass at all. It's a fast response too, it kept up with everything rather well.
Isolation, or rather, Sound Leaking:
Make no mistake, these are semi-open, which might as well be open-air. They leak. You will have no isolation. Everyone in the room will hear you. I suppose I can rate how much they leak, but I can't measure it really beyond my perception. Grados leak like mad. Beyers don't seem to leak that bad. These are some where in between. If privacy is needed, these are not for you. The compromise is that you get that open sound stage.
Soundstage is pretty good, it's an open headphone though, so you expect that. Instruments and vocals all had great separation from each other, not congested into a cramped clump of mush. The channels fade back and forth nicely and it's easy to generate a 3D field depending on what's powering them. I say that because these are excellent for movies & gaming where position is important and pleasing. In other words, here's a $59 headphone that is great for gaming that is less expensive than the common "gaming" headphones that get recommended left and right blindly. The difference on top of that is that these have plentiful rich bass, so they're great to listen to music and watch movies on too. Not just focus on little foot steps in a FPS game. Everytime I see "AD700 for gaming" I think "No, SR850 for gaming, AD700 for foot steps in FPS games only."
Conclusion & Closing:
The SR850 is an inexpensive high performer. It exceeded my expectations. I'm not completely pleased with the headphone, as I would prefer the highs to be a little tamer (I use an equalizer and dropped the highs down a tad and all that fatigue went away while still sounding excellent). And I would prefer different pads on the cups (cloth!) but that's my main preference anyways on headphones (velour). The bass was surprising. Very low and full. The mids are forward and present. The headphone in general is warm (warm in my definition references bass and fullness). The highs add a nice etch of detail to the whole image. I'd really like to get a pair of Beyer pads and see if they fit around these, because if they did, bam, it would be awesome. These headphones are excellent for all musics and great for gaming and movies. They're inexpensive and yet give so much. This is to be expected being a hidden Superlux HD668B which we all know is an excellent budget headphone.
By the way, if you want a closed version of this headphone, the CAD Audio MH310 is this headphone, but closed back.
Very best,

In January 2008, Edison Chen was involved in a widely publicized sex scandal when sexually explicit nude photographs of himself taken four years earlier became widely circulated on the Internet. Celebrities implicated in the scandal included very popular entertainment personalities like Gillian Chung, Bobo Chan, Mandy Chen, Candice Chan, Rachel Ngan and Cecilia Cheung. Nude photos of Edison's current girlfriend, Vincy Yeung, were also made public.
Hong Kong authorities have stated that they confiscated a collection of sex-related photos that involve 6 other identifiable females and other unidentifiable males.At first, the authenticity of the photos was denied, and digital manipulation was used as the primary explanation for the pictures. However, the police and Photoshop experts argued that the photos were in fact real and not digitally altered; this brought about a serious reaction towards all parties involved in the scandal. As a result, Edison indirectly admitted his role and expressed remorse and subsequently announced his indefinite departure from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Edison Chen starred in the Infernal Affairs movie trilogy, he was in The Grudge 2 with Sarah Michelle Gellar. He was last seen in a cameo role in The Dark Knight. If you want to know more about the Edison Chen photo scandal, just click on the link.

Most major cities boasting a university campus are usually blessed with a botanical garden - an offshoot of the university's botany research department. As with many things connected to the Hebrew University, in Jerusalem, here, there are two.
Planting of the garden on Mount Scopus began in 1931, according to a plan prepared by botany department head, Professor Alexander Eig, and it was to display the flora of Israel and adjacent areas. This is also where the Biblical Zoo was first opened. Today, it contains a large collection of wild Israeli plants. The site is the location of a 2000-year old burial cave discovered in 1902, sporting the inscription: "bones of Nicanor of Alexandria who made the gate," in reference to a wealthy Second Temple Jerusalemite who donated the bronze and copper gate to the Temple Courtyard. It also serves as the burial place of writer Yehuda Pinsker and Zionist activist Menachem Usishkin.
Following the War of Independence and upon the division of Jerusalem, a new garden was established in 1962, adjacent to the Givat Ram Campus, which had been dedicated eight years earlier. This landscaped garden was originally located near the National Library; but the limited size of the garden and the university's development needs soon required it be moved.
In 1985 - 13 years after the original plans were presented - the new garden was opened to the public, initially spread over 16,000 square meters bordering the south-eastern edge of the campus and adjacent to the "avenue of museums" that begins with the Israel Museum opposite the Knesset. Planned by renowned architect Shlomo Aharonson, it was a collaborative effort of the university, the Jerusalem Municipality, the JNF, the Jerusalem Foundation, the Kaplan Foundation and the specially established Friends of the Botanical Gardens Society.
Today, the original North American conifers grove is surrounded by plants from all over the world, arranged in the Australian, Central Asian, Mediterranean, African and European section. In addition there is an herb garden, a tropical house and a nursery. The Gardens harbor the largest living plant collection in Israel – more than 10000 species. Its visitor's center houses the administration of what is now an independent legal. The Garden's activities include tours, gardening and botanical courses, children workshops, exhibitions and special events.

May 7, 2009 - 7:30am.
Stormy Daniels strode onstage at a downtown Baton Rouge restaurant in a tight black blouse with a plunging neckline and a knee-length skirt in the popular purple of Louisiana State University. She introduced herself with a warning.
"For those of you who don't know who I am," she told the lunch crowd at The Roux House, "I'd suggest that you don't Google that until you get home from work."
Wondering if she is going to be running on the Republican or Democratic ticket


text: Does anyone here own an ICONS X-Wing or Tie? I have seen a lot of pictures on-line, but I was wondering if they look as good in person as they do in photos. I also want toknow if they are fragile, etc. I am also trying to find out what they sold for at retail when they were new. Thanks!

Somehow, POTF2.com got an image of two upcoming multipacks, one featuring Ewoks and another featuring ANH pilots. I have no idea if this is from the Hasbro slideshow and was somehow not mentioned anywhere, but it looks like official Hasbro imagery.
The pilots set includes R5-D8 (Porkins' droid), Jek Porkins, Tiree, Davish "Pops" Krail, and a TIE Fighter Pilot (since those have been so darn hard to come by lately ). There have been a lot of pilots lately, but this set knocks some of the last remaining speaking pilots from Yavin, so that's something.
More awesome is the Ewok set, which features Corpsey, Tippet, Teebo, Wunka, and Kneesa. I don't know how or when this is coming, but it'll be fantastic to finally have Kneesa. If they keep the name "Corpsey" on the package, I will do cartwheels all the way to Rhode Island and personally kiss every Hasbro employee for five minutes each. It looks like Tippet has an alternate headdress from the comics and Wunka is the Ewok who uses the stormtrooper blaster.
Hopefully more information will be revealed soon.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to save on things like movie tickets, music downloads, Blu-ray and DVDs, and even board games. Keep this page bookmarked to get all the current deals on entertainment purchases.
There are lots of ways to save on movie tickets, starting with where you buy them. Costco and Sam's Club members can often get discounted tickets with their memberships, while many theaters have loyalty programs that give out discounts on snacks and tickets after you've spent a certain amount of money. Fandango offers similar discounts with their membership program as well. If you see everything that hits the theaters, it definitely pays to take advantage of these programs.
When it comes to buying DVDs and Blu-ray movies, check out Amazon and Best Buy for good deals, especially during Black Friday and the rest of the holiday shopping season. If you're in the market for video games, Amazon and Best Buy are about equal on prices for new releases, but if you're looking at older titles, check out used games from GameStop to find killer deals. November and December are the best time to buy video games, but you'll find older releases are discounted a few months after updated games come out, so you could score a great deal.
If you're looking for some good old fashioned family fun, stock up on board games during the holiday shopping season, as well as in January and February (as retailers are looking to sell off anything left over from the holidays.) Toys 'R Us and Target are probably your best bet for board games.

The skinny: A very active onboard experience for cruisers of all ages: activity and entertainment options galore, and a huge array of dining and drinking spots. Royal Caribbean prides itself on pushing the envelope when it comes to ship size and amenities — its fleet includes the two largest ships in the world and other mega-ships with ground-breaking features. RCI now pretty much goes everywhere, giving it a reach beyond many comparable lines and a more international customer base.
The experience: Royal Caribbean offers a big-ship cruise experience wrapped in a very bright, lively atmosphere. You won't lack for things to do on one of its ships. The line pioneered ice-skating rinks, FlowRiders (a wave generator that allows surfing-like experience on deck), merry-go-rounds, high-diving shows, and ziplining at sea; and continues to retrofit older ships with all kinds of new features, including new specialty places to eat and drink. Be sure to check specific ships if you are interested in a particular activity or venue because not everything is offered on all ships.
When RCI launches its latest ship, Quantum of the Seas, in the New York market in 2014, the ship will bring such additional gee-whiz attractions as simulated skydiving, a mechanical arm ride that transports passengers high above the ship in a glass capsule, and bumper cars. Royal Caribbean has brought Broadway to sea with shortened versions of shows such as Hairspray and Chicago (great quality!) on some of the ships, including the amenity-packed (and higher priced) 5,400-passenger sister ships Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, the largest cruise ships in the world.
Staterooms across the fleet range from small inside cabins to huge two-story lofts; there's a price level for everyone. Coffee lovers give the line kudos for introducing the first Starbucks outlets on the high seas and an agreement with DreamWorks Animation means Shrek, Fiona, and other characters are also onboard (on select ships).
Who's onboard? Couples, families (with kids of all ages), and singles from all walks of life — most in their 20s to 60s, and about half from North America — mingle on RCI ships. Guests tend to be active and social; you'll find lots of night-owls. RCI is popular with both first-timers and repeat cruisers.
Where they go: All over the Caribbean; Bermuda; the Bahamas; Hawaii; Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific; the Middle East, Asia, Alaska, Canada/New England; all over Europe; and transatlantic.

Alternate name: Pagoda Dogwood
Family: Cornaceae, Dogwood view all from this family
Description Also known as pagoda dogwood, this species is native to eastern North America, from Newfoundland west to southern Manitoba and Minnesota, and south to northern Florida and Mississippi, although it is rare in the Southern United States.
It is a small deciduous tree growing to 25 feet (rarely 30 feet) tall, with a trunk up to 6 inches diameter. The branches develop characteristic horizontal layers separated by gaps, with a flat-topped crown. Its leaves are elliptic to ovate and grow to 2-5 inches long and 1-2 inches broad, arranged alternately on the stems, not in opposite pairs typical of the majority of Cornus species, the leaves are most often arranged in crowded clusters around the ends of the twigs and appear almost whorled. The topside of the leaves are smooth and green, while the undersides are hairy and a bluish color. Its bark is colored gray to brown. It becomes ridged as it ages. C. alternifolia produces small cream colored flowers with four small petals. The flowers are grouped into cymes, with the inflorescences 2-5 inches across. It bears fruit similar to berries with a blackish blue color. These fruits grow 3-4 inches across.
C. alternifolia is found under open deciduous trees, as well as along the margins of forests and swamps. These trees prefer moist, well drained soil.
The tree is regarded as attractive because of its wide spreading shelving branches and flat-topped head, and is often used in ornamental plantings. The flower clusters have no great white involucre as have those of the Flowering Dogwood, and the fruit is dark purple instead of red and of intensely disagreeable aromatic flavor.
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Mountains.
Range Florida, Eastern Canada, Plains, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Great Lakes.
Comments This tree has infrequent disease and insect problems, however wind and ice damage are common. It is tolerant of poor soils and clay.
Exposure Preference Partial shade to sun.
Flower May - June
Native Distribution Newfoundland. to Minnesota & s. Manitoba, s. to n. Florida, Alabama & Arkansas
Site Preference Rich, deciduous & mixed woods; rocky slopes; coastal plains; shrub balds
Soil Preference Cool, moist, acid, well-drained soils.
Wildlife Value Attracts ground, water and songbirds and many mammals.

'Dead Man Walking' author here, Nov. 9
Posted November 1, 2006; 10:52 p.m.
Sister Helen Prejean, author of the book "Dead Man Walking," will speak at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, in McCosh 10.
Prejean, a prominent death penalty opponent, will deliver a lecture titled "Dead Man Walking: The Journey Continues" and will sign books afterward.
In 1982, Prejean began visiting a death row inmate in the Louisiana State Penitentiary. She became his spiritual adviser and accompanied him to his execution. After doing the same for another inmate, she wrote "Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States," which became a bestseller and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Her second book, "The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions," discusses the execution of prisoners who were possibly innocent of the crimes for which they were killed.
Prejean, who lives in New Orleans, is the founder of the Moratorium Campaign, a group that seeks to halt the death penalty, and Survive, which provides counseling and support to the families of murder victims.
Prejean's visit, her first to the University, is sponsored by Princeton's Center for the Study of Religion, the Council of the Humanities, Dollars & Sins, the Office of Religious Life, the Pace Center and several other groups.

Track: "Soldier Of Love" (iTunes>)
Artist: Sade
Won for: Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals
Previous wins: Best New Artist, 1985; Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals in 1993 for "No Ordinary Love"; Best Pop Vocal Album in 2001 for Lovers Rock
Did you know?: Sade's Soldier Of Love album was the group's first studio set since Lovers Rock in 2000, and only their second since 1992's Love Deluxe. Soldier… hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and Billboard's R&B Albums and Top Digital Albums charts, but as a single, the track "Soldier Of Love" only reached No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100. With certification of 23.5 million units sold, Sade is tied with the Cars; Earth, Wind & Fire; and Mötley Crüe on the RIAA's top-selling artists list. The group will tour with John Legend from June 16 – Aug. 30 for shows in the United States and Canada. "Soldier Of Love" was Sade's second GRAMMY win in the Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals category. The group's debut album, Diamond Life, and single "Smooth Operator" soared to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 in 1985, respectively.

RE:Patagonia Eco Challenge
Luis -
I was in a hotel room and their cable service did not support Dicovery Hopefully I'll be able to see the area first hand someday soon!
Patagonia Eco Challenge
For those of you who might be interested in seeing the sights of Patagonia, the Discovery channel is showing the last part of the Eco Challenge tonight at 21:30 est. The Eco challenge is an adventure sport competition that takes place in breathtaking places, and in 1999 it occurred in Patagonia.
Interestingly, part of the original course for the competition included kayaking down the famous and short Correntoso river, continuing the race through Nahuel Huapi Lake. The waters of this short and shallow river are the spawning grounds for the massive browns and rainbows that inhabit the lake, and additionally local regulations prohibit its navigation. A group of fly fishers from the south american based listserv flycast@ got together and inundated the mailboxes of the Eco Challenge organizers as well as the Discovery Channel. The result was that organizers altered this part of the course and the Correntoso was never kayaked.
Here's an image of the river

Landscape with a steep road

signed, l.l., black oil "Fred Williams". not dated
sight comp 110.3 (h) x 90.9 (w) cm
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Purchased 1979
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
© estate of Fred Williams
The subject of Landscape with a steep road was inspired by time that Williams spent in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales in 1957 with John and Joan Stephens in Colo Vale near Mittagong. It is one of most daring works of the period. Taking a lead from the Cubists, this painting is more about the idea of a road than a literal representation. Against the road's crisp geometry, the gum tree tops are softened to a haze. The delicate touches of trees along the sharply defined horizon line prefigure Williams's Upwey landscapes of the 1960s. Near the base of the road Williams included a surreal appendage like a stump. John Stephens wrote in a letter to their mutual friend John Brack: 'The country here suited [Williams] … He is a sensuous painter and it is quite lush here … There is terrific variety, everything from Streeton to Dali.'

By David Wheeler/Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
SPRINGVILLE – South Pontotoc head baseball coach Bryan Buckner was understandably unapologetic Friday night.
"We'll take it."
What Buckner and his Cougars will take is a 10-9 victory over the Mooreville Troopers in nine innings in an early, but key, Division 2-3A matchup.
"I'm excited we didn't quit, and finally found a way to win," Buckner said. "We didn't protect the lead very well, and we didn't find a way to close out the win.
"But on the positive, we hit the way we've needed to hit all year."
Mooreville (9-4, 1-1) had tied the contest in the top of the seventh when Ben Seay led off the inning with a single, and eventually scored on an error.
Both teams advanced runners into scoring position in the eighth, but did not plate a run.
Then in the bottom of the ninth, two Cougars reached base after being hit by pitches, with Colton Rogers scoring the winning run on a wild pitch.
"Give South Pontotoc credit for winning their home game," said Mooreville head coach Derek Thompson, whose Troopers had won their home game against the Cougars 3-1 on Tuesday. "I'm proud of my guys for the way they battled."
Quick Start
South Pontotoc (5-8, 1-1) jumped out of the gate quickly by scoring four runs in each of the first two innings for an 8-3 lead. That was highlighted by a first-inning home run by Benjamin Bowen.
Peyton Belk led the Cougars with five hits.
But Mooreville kept chipping away, scoring a run in every inning of regulation baseball except the sixth. The Mooreville offense was fueled by a fourth-inning home run by John Peugh.

text: Index to Children Baptized in the New York Dutch Church Printer-friendly version The baptismal register of the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam and New York is one of the city's richest genealogical resources, especially for the early colonial period. In 1901-1902 The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society published a transcript of this register, from 1639-1800, in two volumes which form Volumes 2 and 3 of its series of published Collections. The indexes included in these volumes cover fathers, mothers, and witnesses, but not the names of the children (or adults) who were being baptized. This index was compiled by Harry Macy, Jr. in 1996 to remedy that omission, for the initial period from 1639 throughout the second Dutch administration in 1675.

http://www.theatlanticcities.com/nei...-do-home/6712/In 2010 and 2011, there were as many as 1,000 minor earthquakes in Arkansas. And scientists believe they were caused by fracking.
Seismologists at the U.S. Geological Survey say the disposal of millions of gallons of wastewater flowback as part of the fracking process can create "micro earthquakes," which are rarely felt, and also the rare larger seismic disruption. Scientists say that's what happened in Greenbrier, Arkansas, where the quakes damaged homes.
Yesterday, five local residents settled for an undisclosed sum of money after suing two oil companies. Those five residents aren't the only ones suing Chesapeake Energy and BHP Billiton. Twenty other residents are expecting to file lawsuits in Arkansas state court, according to Reuters.

After playing with "ajax" a little for random images on my pictures from old books Web site, I spent some time investigating other XQuery engines, and in parcticular what used to be Sleepycat's dbxml, and is now Oracle Sleepycat DB XML.
I was using the Perl interface, and maybe that's a mistake, because it's obvious that they don't spend as much effort on it as on the C API. The documentation is very minimal, for example. But in the end, and after uninstalling all unwanted versions of bsd db from my laptop, it worked. Query time went doewn from 11 seconds to 2 seconds, partly because the 11-second version is starting a JVM for each query, partly because dbxml is in C, and partly because I had to remove some features from the query because I couldn't get them to work.
After help from one of the people maintaining the software, I discovered that I'll be able to get the other features to work. The search engine on my Web site isn't actually too slow for most queries (try it here) but it's using more memory than I'd like, and there are some queries on my photographs that do take too long.
The good thing about using XQuery to develop these things is that it's relatively easy to make changes. So maybe some changes are coming.

ok well its not in right now, so ill just get new filters instead of putting those back in. that doesnt sound too good, i guess ill never do that again.
yea, just rinse them in old tank water next time if they get clogged up. And when they start to litterally fall apart, save as much as you can to put into the new filter
So let me just point out... you have nitrite and most likely ammonia because you replaced a main part of your beneficial bacteria culture and you are basically cycling with fish. This most likely created the stress and that caused the ich... now you need to heavily water change every day at least 50% for about a month or until you register 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 15 or so nitrates on a liquid regent test kit. I use and recommend the api master kit.

really??? 50% everyday for a month? that seems like a lot. I heard it was bad to change too much water like that.
I would agree with Sandz suggested approach to handle this like you would when you are cycling with fish. There is a link below in my sig that explains the process. Test your water daily and complete enough of a waterchange daily to reduce the ammonia and nitrites down to 0.25ppm. For example if you ammonia or nitrites get to 1ppm, complete a 75% water change to bring them back down to 0.25ppm. After your tank is cycled, you still should do a larger water change each week. Most of us do a 50% (or larger) weekly water change
Large water changes (like 50% or more) will not harm your fish when done right. It is very common for people who keep discus to complete larger daily or every second day water changes as their normal maintenance routine.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
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
Ick did not have enough time to die out so simply reproduced and returned.
Not enough filtratration for that sized tank.
You not only have the toxins from being uncycled but now have added ick medication to the water as well.
And the fish you stocked can not be together in a 55 gallon tank. Small fish now does not mean small fish later?

ok, ill start doing the water changes until it goes down, thanks for the help :)
i know the fish in the tank arent exactly compatible
i didnt do research before i got the new fish, i had a "buddy" that worked at the fish store and i shouldnt have trusted him but he knew what i had in the tank and i upgraded from a 29 gallon to a 55 gallon because i got the severum and when he got big i realized i needed a bigger tank and i just had the 2 fish so i went to get a few more and he told me the ones i got would be fine and his exact words when i questioned him about the size were "they wont out grow the tank"
well ive been monitoring the fish and making adjustments as needed, like i got rid of 2 fish because they were aggressive and the were growing really fast, but as of right now the ones i have are working really good together, no bullies or really aggressive fish but if that changes or if i feel like some need to be taken out i will do so.
ive already planed on setting up my 29 gallon again and i want to make it a planted tank and ill probably put the gourami in there but for right now thats a project for another day.
im working on this tank for right now, im a beginner so i dont want to have 2 tanks going when i have problems with this one.
i am worried about the size expecially the JD and of course the aggression but so far its not showing any aggression, its pretty chill, the JD and my severum are actually getting along pretty well, i feed them shrimp (the little pellet ones) as a treat sometimes and they both go crazy over it and they dont fight over it the eat it off the bottom side by side, so thats a pretty good sign, right?
my two firemouths pretty much stick to themselves they chase each other around the JD will join in but they dont bully my gourami and my gourami will actually chase them around.
update on my gourami, since i discontinued the medication and started the salt hes actually doing better, hes swimming around more and now eating, he didnt eat there for 2 days but last night and this morning he was eating so yay for progress.
i really think that ich medicine did it. because right when i stopped it seemed like there was a turn a round. hopefully the salt and heat works for the ich. i did read a few that said it didnt work for them but im doing exactly what the article i read said to do i got my temp to 86 now and ill do a water change later and add more salt for the amount of the water change and cross my fingers everything works.
woo long post, sorry. but thanks everyone

"God, what is that [thing]?"
Nobody wears it anymore.
Male: Anchorman is a
movie about news anchors.
Right now, I'd like to see if
you've got a nose for news.
Could you give me your thoughts
on the tragedy in Japan?
Female: It's horrible, duh.
Male: It's tragic and it's horrible,
and it's one of those things
that I wish I could do more.
I wish everybody could
do more to help out.
I wish I was a millionaire so
I could donate big time money.
Throw a couple of hundred
thousand to a charity there.
If everybody does a little
something I think you know.
Male: Are you glad they got Bin Laden?
Female: You know I think that
he killed thousands of people
and so should have been apprehended
but our national justice system does
not encourage the killing of somebody
who has committed crime.
I think that he most ideally should
have been brought in and put on trial.
Much like the Nuremberg trials.
Male: That makes a lot of sense.
Are you glad that they killed Bin Laden?
Male: I love the news.
Female: Whammy.
Male: Stay classy Funny or Die.
Male: Too late for that.
