Watched DVR'd stuff, tried to grade papers. Sorted and cashed in recyclables (first time without the "regular" recycling guy in several years ), did some shopping. Came home, tried to grade papers again, watched a little TV and webbed. After dinner, continued to try and grade (and I was quite successful at "trying" to grade all day ), read some.

No kidding! These knuckleheads have nine lives! Far better teams have been eliminated and these two keep on going! Unbelievable!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I'd really like to see one of the all-lady teams win. Thomas is just too much of a butt. Ran a good game, but a butt.
Nice to see the all-female teams come in first and second. Glad to see Thomas run into a roadblock. It's kinda funny: the biggest language barrier he encounters is in L.A.
Next season looks really good. Can't wait for February!
I can't complain about the results. Early on I had hoped that Gary and Mallory (father-daughter team) would win. When they were eliminated I was pulling for Brook and Claire. Still, seeing the docs win was acceptable. Good solid, team.
I agree about next season. It's nice to see the second chance given.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I wasn't able to catch every episode due to a busy schedule this semester, but I've seen a few, and I'm glad the doctors won. It's always the team who treats each other with respect and takes the time to take in what's happening that wins.

Love these pedals
By PH
from Flower Mound, TX
About Me Avid Cyclist
Love these pedals. I don't like clipping in on a mountain bike so purchased these on a whim. Just did an overnight relay with them and couldn't be more pleased. No slip and feel I can get out of the pedals if things are about to go bad, which since I am so graceful tends to happen sometimes.
Great pedal
By The Yipper
from Elkhorn, WI
See all my reviews
Fitted these on a MEKK Poggio road bike. These work great. Nice wide and trippy platform (withers the "spikes").Not a fan of clip ins at my age (57) with lots of stop signs etc on my route. These are just so much less hassle and provide great grip with no power loss than I can tell.
By pellethunter63
from Mantua Ohio
Pedals offer a good grip on my shoes for comfort riding, So very much better than what came with the bike, shoes would slip off sometimes during hard pedaling like up hill. These I feel are the best free grip choice.

Great pedal for the price
Best Pedal for the Money
By MNRider89

These pedals stick very well and look great. Lightweight as well. Well done, Nashbar. Awesome value for the money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
hand crafted ,just for me ,thanks Nashbar
By mp
from long island
I wear a size 9 trail shoe when riding, these pedals are shaped well and fit well, My only other comment is that these pedal grip both ways , my old pedals were a smooth cage platform typ,e so if I were to come in contact with dirt, leg rock root ect. my pedals wouldn't grab hold of it, these pedals will, I'll take the grip.
Great Pedal
By Tim
from Champaign, IL
I bought a new bike and treated myself to these new pedals and what a treat it has been! Low profile, I have yet to strike a root or rock with them. lightweight, these were some of the lightest you can buy and at a great price too. Super grippy and comfortable too. You will love them. One con and it is a tiny tiny con. They install with an 8mm hex that is not included with them so I had to buy one. No biggie and not worth deducting anything for that.
Great platform pedals
By krelldog
from MN
Great platform pedals for the money. Very well made, offers plenty of grip and as good as the more expensive brands.
Perfect Platform
By Mike
from Idaho Falls Idaho
I'm just getting into mountain biking and am used to clipless road pedals. I bought some Crank Bros Doubleshot pedals for my mountain bike and didn't like them because they are too small to use on the platform side and I slipped off all the time. When I'd clip in, I couldn't get unclipped fast enough and ended up tipping over one too may times. I replaced them with these pedals and problem solved! I can wear comfortable for hiking shoes that stay on the pedals but are easy to put on the ground when needed. These look like quality made pedals, smooth bearings, well constructed.

along the way of discussing pointer idioms, I wrote that nullable pointers should be expressed as a disjoint union between nothing (null) and a pointer value. this means that a pointer, to the type system, is something which does point to a live, non-null, non-special object. if a pointer "can be null", it's not expressed as a pointer; it's expressed as a union. union {null, pointer} so to speak. this is standard in several languages, it works fine; you just need language support for disjoint unions, not C's "inclusive unions". it's really the same thing elanthis is describing, only formalized using a normal language feature. when you have a value of that type, you need to switch on its value in order to dereference it, such as:
switch (maybenull) { case pointer p: p->dosomething(); case null: donull(); }
notice that there's only a pointer value p in scope in the switch arm corresponding to the pointer part of the union. the principal benefit to this approach is that the dereference operator is statically inapplicable to the null value. it doesn't even get a name. you know by looking at types alone when you need to write this form and when you have a live pointer. for cases where there may be a null, you're using a union of this type, and you're forced to handle it. for cases where there may not be a null, you just use a pointer. really, this is not at all novel. it already exists in many languages.
on preventing cycles:
the "transfer of ownership" idiom I described is insufficient, as elanthis pointed out. I think a more correct way to do this is to require that an owning pointer (or disjoint owning/null union) can only receive its value when it is initialized. it is then inexpressible to "assign" to that variable, merely to evict its value (transferring to another variable which is being initialized) or destroy it.
I think that restriction does the trick; you would need to initialize A before B and B before A to make a cycle. I believe there is some relationship between this approach and the "linear naming" research that chalst is doing. perhaps I'm underestimating his work though.
in any case, I mostly disagree with elanthis' position that cyclical ownership is some sort of special, unsolvable problem. it's just a delicate problem. I think it's generally understood that structural language restrictions are a tradeoff between "helping to organize your thoughts" and "binding your hands from doing useful work"; such things must be developed carefully and with attention to costs, but not treated as sacred cows.

Writing influences focus of Ford talk, April 18
Posted April 11, 2007; 04:48 p.m.
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Ford will discuss the forces that turn writers to their vocation in a lecture at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, in McCosh 50. His talk is titled "Extra-Literary Influences: The Things That Help, the Things That Hurt."
In 1996, Ford's "Independence Day" became the first novel to be awarded both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. His latest novel, "The Lay of the Land," continues the life story of Frank Bascombe, the protagonist in "Independence Day" and his earlier novel, "The Sportswriter." "The Lay of the Land" chronicles Bascombe's understanding of himself and the unanticipated complexities of life at late middle age.
Ford's other works include the novels "A Piece of My Heart," "The Ultimate Good Luck" and "Wildlife" as well as the short story collections "Rock Springs," "Women With Men" and "A Multitude of Sins." He has taught at Princeton, the University of Michigan and Williams College.
His talk, designated as a Spencer Trask Lecture, is part of the University Public Lectures Series.

Chris Pennington
Mine came this week. I have used it twice.
#1. It's hefty. No light weight here. The aluminum is not stamped out, light weight sheet metal. He told me it was machined out of a bar of aluminum and I believe him. Two halves screw together with a flat head allen wrench screw. I haven't had mine apart yet.
On a long water blind where you have to have the whistle in your mouth watching the dog for a misstroke swimming along a shoreline your jaw will be atremblin'. It does for me with the Green Monster and the Dalahasee too.
The sound is different. The Answer has a slightly higher pitch. It seems like the Crobilt whistle is lower pitched and there are two tones which hetrodyne. At least that's what I think I'm hearing. I first tried it swimbying the yearling. She heard it, responded to it no problem. I tried running a 420 yard x-wind land blind with it. I ran out of whistle at ~350 yards. The dog didn't respond to the Answer at that range and wind conditions either. She did a Dalahasee on the way back. That's the only two times I've used it so far.
My gut feeling is that the Answer is a little louder and will reach out a little further. I think the lower pitch and the mixing of two tones might be robbing a little volume/distance from the Crobilt. Don't know for sure and I'll know more in a couple of weeks.

I'm getting ready for our first trial of the year and haven't been using the new whistle. I am happier with the lighter Dallahasee and Answer. I'll play more with the Crobuilt after these next two weeks. Honestly, I don't think it's as good as what I'm using now but I'll work with it more after our first two trials.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
... made it back from the Keys a few days earlier than I had anticipated. The wind was something to contend with, that's for certain: 15-20 knots nearly all week, which made it next to impossible to get any sort of decent casting accomplished. I managed to catch a few fish, though, mostly jacks and snappers, with the odd cuda here and there. Saw an enormous bone tailing on a flat near the drop-off of Shark Channel outside the mouth; it must have been a doozy of a fish, because the water depth in that area was around 12" and the upper lobe of his caudal fin was a good 4" out of the water. Unfortunately, I was out with three other guys and there was no way I could have safely gotten a cast out to that fish with the wind blowing so hard. The permit were in the flats, churning the bottom pretty thoroughly, but didn't hook any. Hopefully I'll get back down there in the next couple of months and have better success.
|Tony Petrella
rod weights
A 10wt is always rigged up in my boat just for cobia. The only time I give a client a 10wt for tarpon is if he/she simply can't reach the fish with a 12. My philosphy is that they'd rather hook up and lose the fish by being under-gunned than not hook up at all.
So, it's 8wt for everyday snook, redfish, etc; 9wt for jacks, or windy days chasing bones in the Keys (nearly every day, unless you get into a lee by fishing Big Pine Key or further west); 10wt for cobia, sharks, 'cuda or kingfish; 12wt for tarpon.
Check out the Temple Fork Outfitters 4-piece saltwater rods. I use them on my boat, and you can buy all of the abovementioned rods for a total of $780. They cast GREAT, and have a lifetime warranty.
Is there anything in-shore I'm likely to run into that will require a 10 wt.? For instance, will the 10-wt. tackle tarpon that head into that area, or am I better off with a heavier rod, such as an 11-wt.? Just thinking about shark, big jacks, and so on. I was under the impression that Cobia like to hang around vertical structure in fairly deep water, likely to be relatively far off-shore much of the time.
Re: webs, wives and fish
It's already been a pleasure, and it will become a privilege for us to have you as our sponsor! I will contact you with details.
Realizing that there's no way...
... that I'll ever tie enough flies for my own liking by Tuesday night (leaving here Wednesday), and knowing how bored I'm likely to get at night while on the trip, I'm re-organizing all of my tying materials into a pair of old tackle boxes so I can take it on the road and tie in the evenings. Looking through it all and seeing everything that came off and out of my bench, I'm sitting here thinking, "Man, where did all this stuff COME from?". I should be able to tie a few thousand flies with it all!
CapT - will tie a few shrimp flies in the manner you described, though I may have to substitute peacock herl for the black krystal flash... would you believe I don't have any? I think it's time I invested in a decent digital camera so I can start taking photos of my meager tying efforts. Saw a book on tying contemporary saltwater flies today at the LFS, those flies make mine look pretty rotten. Honestly, if I could tie flies that looked as good as the ones in that book, I'd have them all locked away in a safe!
Juro - I'll contact Captain Ben when I get down to the Keys, probably Friday.
|Tony Petrella
webs, wives and fish
JURO--So, you're telling me that "all's well that ends well"???
Hey, I've been married to the same Saint Kate for the past 32 years. I hear that divorces can get quite spendy, but fortunately don't have any first-hand experience with it. Of course, Kate says that 32 is merely a hypothetical number, since I've been off covering sporting events, hanging out in fly shops or fishing rivers all over the US at least HALF that time. Maybe she's right (as usual?).
Unseasonably cold is a very generous way of putting it. Florida's weather has been more like what North Carolina usually gets. But, it's warming up and we had a tremendous time in Sarasota Bay yesterday. Couldn't keep fish off the fly (REALLY!!!!).
Tight Loops,
ps--let me know about your thoughts relative to my participation in various aspects of your site.
Chris -
Make sure you talk to our friend and sponsor Capt. Ben Iannotta http://bigfishonfly.com
I spoke with him on Friday and he says it's been a cold winter but things are warming up.
I will be fishing on his new boat in early May if everything goes as hoped.
CapT -
I had the pleasure of meeting Jefferey at his shop quite a long time ago. I was toying with joining Mike Tucker and Greg McDermid in Fort Collins for the Virtual Flyshop gig at it's inception and happened to be in Key West so I popped in to introduce the Virtual Flyshop concept to him before anyone had ever heard of it. At my family's urging I was convinced not to leave employment at a large aluminum bird maker in Seattle to start a flyfishing website in Fort Collins CO... AAaaarrrGGGhhhhhh!!
Actually, I have no regrets and I kinda like the way things turned out. I am still very happily married and I have the Forum to hang out in!
|Tony Petrella
When you talk with them, feel free to mention our "discussion". Both Jeffrey and Christina are good pals of mine. Not that it really makes a difference--they treat everybody great.
Have you tied the "craft fur" shrimp? Try it using tan Hi-Viz (marking it alternately with brown and red sharpie markers), tan dubbing with a touch of "sparkle" or "flash" mixed in, loooooong black krystal flash antennae and your choice of burned mono, bead-chain or lead for eyes (depending upon water depth and desired sink-rate).
|Roger CapT, will do. Stopped in at the Saltwater Angler last July when we were there, but didn't get to meet Jeffrey. I'll try contacting him as well as Christina. We spent most of our time fishing in Shark Channel last year; jumped one massive tarpon but lost him. The rest of the fish were cuda, jacks, and snappers. Historically, I have little patience to chase fish that have the reputation as being spooky (such as bones and permit) on the flats, but I'll certainly give it a shot. Tying up various crab and shrimp patterns, as well as surf candies, squid, crease flies, and bangers. I think that should cover most of the territory. I'll be in touch shortly...
|Tony Petrella
Keys contact
Best advice I can give you for the Keys right this minute is: "Think Cuda"! Water inshore is 59o, and just 64o outside.
If it warms up quickly, you'll see some bones and permit. Try a #1 or #4 crab in tan or cream. Shrimp also in the tan/cream mix.
Air temps down there have been pleasant the past few days, but water, as I said, is still a tad chilly.
Once you get down there, contact Christina at Sea Boots Outfitters on Pig Pine Key. She's usually there, and will give you the straight dope. Jeffrey's out a lot, but if you can catch him at Saltwater Angler in Key West there's not a more knowledgable Key West guy down there.
You'd think they'd have considerably warmer water than we've got up here. Strange winter!
|I must admit, I'm actually going to be targeting crevalle with the 9-wt., tied up several Bob's Bangers for just that. Last year I had some tremendous action from these jacks on top, enough to make me try to hook up with a few next week. Nothing over 10 lbs., but they fight like a lot of fish three times their size. I had already planned on an 8-wt., and possibly a heavier stick as well; I imagine I'll be building both 8 and 10 weight rods within the next 18 months. I'll give you a call sometime this week... Thanks again. By the way, what are the hot patterns in the lower Keys at this time of year? Not so much for bones or permit, but for other fare.

Florida trip
Flyfisha1--That 9wt will be fine for the Keys, where it seems that the wind always blows.
Once you get to Ft. Myers, an 8wt probably will become your day-in, day-out stick. That's what I give my clients to use. I always have a 9wt rigged with wire and a popper for jack crevalle, and a 10wt rigged for cobia. But the 8wt gets the lead-eye "minnows" out there fine, and has enough backbone to handle these strong fish and still make it fun.
See ya' soon.
Thanks again for info - I'm no stranger to Florida fishing, but I must admit I've never spent any time in the SouthWest region fishing; all that's about to change! For this trip, the only fly rod I'm bringing is a 9-wt. with various lines. I figure that for all around action, that rod should suit my needs. It's a Loomis IMX paired with a Redington RS2; any thoughts?
We're definitely going to have to get together once I get down there. I'll be in touch otherwise shortly.

Florida flats fishing
Congratulations, Chris, on winning The Prize behind Door Number One--the Fishing Extravaganza of a Lifetime!!!!!
If you like flats fishing, then you're going to LOVE living down here, my friend.
I guided a couple from Michigan the past two days. Thursday, in Lemon Bay (the ICW at Englewood), they had pretty good action and went home grinning.
By YESTERDAY the water had warmed and we (they) NAILED so many trout and ladyfish that when we were talking about it on the drive back from Sarasota Bay we all agreed that we couldn't even come up with a number of the fish they landed, lost and simply "missed." It was an awesome day. Mostly trout. Mostly in or above the 15-20" "slot" limit --although this was all catch-and-release fishing. Some very large ladyfish (second cousins to tarpon that like to jump a lot when hooked--but in the 20-30" range).
So, if we can just keep Old Man Winter from losing his way and wandering South again, you should have a tremendous time while you're here. You can e-mail me, or give me a call at 941-496-4289 (Venice) and I'll give you the scoop on the Ft. Myers area as well as the keys. I spend a lot of time down there and will be happy to steer you in the right direction.
Tight Loops,
Aw Yeah!
CapT - Thanks for the info, I'll be looking you up, you can count on it (probably this week if I have time). We're taking delivery of a 21' TranSport flats catamaran this week, then I'll be headed straight down to Key West end of next week. This is all company research, so I'm very fortunate in that sense. I figure that the move will happen in the October - December time frame, though May has also been mentioned; I imagine I'll be down looking at real estate in the Ft. Myers/Bonita Springs area sometime before. I've got three days to tie like mad before I have to make the trip to pick the boat up, but then several months to get stocked up. Very much looking forward to chasing anything on the flats!!!:eyecrazy: By the way, we'll be looking for guys such as yourself to help us (the company) out with some product testing in the area of fishing (all "top secret" at the moment, but I'll reveal all as we get closer).
Juro - Yeah, Florida Clave sounds good to me. There must be quite a few members in the region that would make the trip for that. Heck, there are probably people in New England that would like to get away for a few days for a "meeting of the minds":hehe:
Thanks guys for your help!

The MS-RT professional masters degree program1 trains future leaders of robotics and intelligent automation enterprises and agencies in the principles and practices of robotics and automation science and engineering, software engineering, and management. The program is appropriate for students with backgrounds in an engineering or science discipline and practical abilities in computer systems and software engineering. Classroom training is reinforced by an extensive supervised practicum designed to expose the students to research laboratory and industrial environments. They will thus acquire - and be expected to demonstrate - individual and group competence in the skills and practices that will be needed to support the entrepreneurial teams they will lead upon their return to their home countries.
The two-year program is composed of two one-year phases. First year studies are at an international partner institution's campus via distance education materials produced by the Robotics Institute and delivered by the partner's faculty. Successful students transition to Carnegie Mellon's main campus to complete a second year of classes and an extensive practicum. Graduates are eligible to pursue additional practical training in the US before returning to their home countries.
Preferably the additional training will be an internship with a company in the US that, afterwards, will employ the student at a division in his or her home country. The program's intention is for graduates to return home to entrepreneurial activities that will contribute to sustainable development there.
Tuition for the MS-RT Year-Two Program at CMU, Pittsburgh campus is $48,000. Additional details about graduate student fees and estimated cost of living in Pittsburgh can be found at: www.cmu.edu/hub
For more information, contact Rachel Burcin (email@example.com, (412) 268-4272).

Family: Soleidae, Soles view all from this family
Description The Hogchoker (Trinectes maculatus) is a small flatfish found along the coast of parts of North America. They prefer brackish water, and are abundant in many bays and estuaries north of the Carolinas (another similar species replaces it south of the Carolinas). It is a member of the Sole family soledae. They are usually brown to dark brown in color, and lighter on their "blind side" (side lacking an eye). The overall body color is often broken by a series of spots and thin stripes, which can be lighter or darker than the main body color. The fins and tail have fringed edges helping hide the fish from its prey. They mainly feed on small aquatic insects and invertebrates.
Distinguished from other species by an inter-brachial septum lacking a foramen. Also, Trinectes maculatus often has no (rarely one) ray(s) in its pectoral fin.
Dimensions Up to 6" (15 cm).
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows, Rivers & streams, Tidepools.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas.

How councillors travel themselves should be an issue. They can set a good example to others, given the whole thing about "how uncool" it is to be seen on a bike for some people. The more people are seen on bikes with suit and tie (not that I'd go that far myself) in Darlo the better.

A suit and tie? Steady on!
I think Nick Wallis' email address is available on the Darlington Council website; if it's not, I have it somewhere. I'll email him and ask about his transport use. I'll report back with a full post when (if) I get a reply.

Chamois creme for the most faint of bums
For the most part, the cult of chamois creme is a boy's club. 'Tis a pity, as the salves are designed to save the bottoms of men and women alike. To help remedy this disparity, Mad Alchemy has concocted their La Femme Chamois Creme. It has the same base lube and essential oils as their other creams, but adds lavender oil and ups the concentrations of tea tree, grapefruit and peppermint essential oils. Lavender is an age-old antiseptic and pain-reliever, peppermint is also a pain-reliever and adds a little cooling. Tea tree oil works the anti-viral and anti-fungal fronts to help keep infections at bay.
The scent is a little more flowery than Mad Alchemy's other chamois preparations with notes of citrus, but it will also work magic for men. Both sexes can dab it, rub it, or slather it on the sensitive skin or the chamois itself to lubricate and protect that delicate interface with the saddle.
It's worth noting that all three Mad Alchemy chamois cream formulations work with the same base ingredients. As such, they share viscosity, lubricity, and are safe for both hommes and femmes. They are all veggie-based with high-quality ingredients.
The Mad Alchemy La Femme Crème comes in a 4 oz (120ml) tub.

All-Natural Hippy Cream
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love this stuff, I wanted a chamois cream which didn't contain words I couldn't pronounce such as: (Peg-100 Stearate, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Disodium Edta, Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose) so this was a great all-natural option.
It works but...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Much thinner than most creams, it works but it seems messier.
Best Chamois Cream Ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've tried numerous chamois creams over the past years. I even have some sponsor deals for more economical creams. I ride over 10,000 miles a year, racing nearly all disciplines on the bike. Mad Alchemy is simply superior. It has has a nice calming effect for mosquito bites and other minor skin irritations as well. Highly Recommend. My husband prefers the femme to the regular, nicer mild fragrance.
Best chamois creme on the market
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
There is no stinging on the skin and the lavender and tea tree oils keep the skin happy and healthy. The consistency is just right with no clogging of pores. Since I switched to La Femme, I haven't had a saddle sore in years.
A+ product
I like the herbal smell, it's soothing without being overpowering.
Haven't had a problem in the saddle and prevents chafing and such. I'll use this till it's gone, and probably buy more.
Good stuff.
I love that it's veggie based, I don't particularly want chemicals I can't pronounce near my lady bits.
Good for Her... and Him
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I first used this stuff when I ran out of my own chamois creme and had to borrow some from my wife's supply, and was very impressed. Eventually I've tracked a supply down and so this is now my number one choice - it certainly seems to work very well for 2-3 hour mountain bike rides in Californian temperatures.
Lady chamois cream...good for dudes too!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So, I've used the M.A. "pro" chamois cream for a long while. M.A. was out of it, so I ordered the La Femme. Same stuff, but with more essential oils, and antibacterial properties. Okay.
Jump forward a couple of years...
Still using the La Femme. It's thinner, lighter, and smells oh-so-good.
It's chock full of good stuff that will keep your under-carriage in top operating condition, regardless of internal, or external plumbing.
I'm a big M.A. fanboy, and use ONLY M.A. chamois creams and embros. Peter knows what he's doing, and he does it well.
No sting+ No sting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a gently scented alternative to the icy sting of menthol chamois cream on your lady parts. Consistency is similar to hair conditioner. Not really thick like some of the others.

Which is the Tallest Mountain?
Mt McKinley in Alaska may be the tallest mountain on Earth. But didn't you learn that Earth's tallest mountain is Mount Everest? It turns out that the question of tallness is a difficult question to answer.
Why Isn't Mount Everest the Tallest Mountain?
It's true that Mount Everest rises the highest above sea level at 29,029 feet (8848 m). But that's only if you measure tallness as height above sea level. Could tallness be measured in other ways? There is a case to be made for at least two other mountains being the tallest. And that's just on Earth. What's the tallest mountain in the solar system? The answer to that question is a big surprise.

Alternate name: Brookside Alder, Tag Alder
Family: Betulaceae, Birch view all from this family
Description This thicket-forming shrub is native to eastern North America and can be found found from western Nova Scotia and southern New Brunswick south to Florida and Texas.
The Alnus serrulata is a large shrub or small tree that may grow up to 2.5-4 m (8-12 ft) high and 15 cm (6 in) in diameter. The scientific name originates from alnus which is an old name for alder; serrulata points to the finely-toothed leaf margins which it possesses. It takes about 10 yrs to mature. The plant prefers moist soil near streams, pond margins, and riversides. It usually has multiple stems from its base and reddish-green flowers. The broad, flat, dark green leaves are about 2 to 4 inches long.
Leaf: The simple, round leaves are obovate, 2 to 5 in long, 1.2 to 2.8 in wide, obtuse, wider at middle, and V-shaped base. Veins are pinnate and conspicuous. Leaves have a smooth texture above and hairy texture below. The upper side of the leaves are dark green and the undersides are pale green.
Flower: The flowers are monoecious, meaning that both sexes are found on a single plant. Male (Staminate) catkins are 1.6-2.4 in long; female (Pistillate) catkins are 1/2 in long. Reddish-green flowers open in March to April.
Fruit: The ovate, dark brown, cone-like fruit is hard with winged scales. Seeds are produced in small cones and do not have wings. Fruit usually matures during fall and is quite persistent.

DPRK: Humanitarian agencies concerned about decline in funding
17 May, 2013
Humanitarian agencies in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) have warned that a lack of funding is limiting their ability to meet the most pressing needs of people and communities. Over the past decade the UN and its partners have seen a dramatic reduction in donor support to one of the world's most protracted humanitarian emergencies.
The humanitarian community in DPRK has consistently argued that the provision of support should be based on humanitarian needs and not on political and security considerations, and that millions of people will continue to suffer without international assistance.
In 2011, in response to shrinking donations, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) produced an Overview Funding Document that outlined humanitarian issues in DPRK and addressed donor concerns regarding the ability of humanitarian agencies and their partners to deliver assistance effectively. Initial levels of support were encouraging, with US$74.6 million and $76 million provided in 2011 and 2012 respectively, by 22 countries.
For 2013, the UNCT has called for $147 million to address humanitarian needs, but so far this year only $25.4 million (17.3 per cent) has been provided, including $7 million from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). Adding to concerns about this decline, several governments have recently indicated that DPRK is no longer viewed as a priority for humanitarian and development aid.
Some improvements, but assistance remains vital
A better harvest in 2012 led to an improvement in the overall food security situation in the DPRK. However, high levels of stunting and insufficient diversity in children's diets remain serious concerns.
Chronic under-nutrition continues to be a public health problem, and is a major underlying cause of maternal and child mortality. A lack of medical supplies and equipment means the health care system is unable to meet basic needs, while water and heating infrastructure is in need of repair.
Humanitarian agencies have expressed concern that the lack of funding will limit their capacity to provide vaccines for diseases such as measles, hepatitis B and polio, and essential medicines and supplies including paracetamol, syringes, gauze and cotton wool.
This in turn could lead to the reversal of key gains made over the past decade in controlling diseases and in reducing maternal and infant mortality. Between 2000 and 2010, DPRK's maternal mortality rate dropped from an estimated 120 deaths per 100,000 live births to 81. The procurement of therapeutic foods intended to treat severe acute malnutrition, including micronutrient supplements for women and children, which are essential due to the low consumption of meat, milk, vegetables and fruits, will also be affected, as will the procurement of pipes and fittings needed to improve access to safe water.
Agency representatives stress that, according to the humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence, aid must never be contingent on political developments. They add that if humanitarian aid is to make a sustainable improvement in the condition of the most vulnerable people of DPRK, it must be considered separately from political issues.

Germany's Andre Greipel has become the second rider in the 12 year history of the Santos Tour Down Under to twice claim the crown after a phenomenal performance that saw him win three of the event's six stages and, with the support of his HTC-Columbia team, fend off all challengers.
"The other teams had to do the work today if they wanted to win," said Greipel. "We just stayed calm and managed our own race.
"I am very happy to have won this race twice, the team have ridden well all week and we deserve this."
762,000 people flocked to South Australia to witness a week of cycling action and none were disappointed as the superstars of world cycling put on a spectacular show.
The final 90 kilometre stage was raced in front of 124,000 fans on the Adelaide City Council Circuit with the peloton setting a cracking pace for the 20 laps of the 4.5 kilometre circuit.
Across the finish line Australian fans were thrilled to see Sydney's Chris 'CJ' Sutton of Team Sky, sprint to victory ahead of his team mate Greg Henderson (NZL) with Rabobank's Graeme Brown (AUS) third.
"I could not believe that sprint, we talked about our team tactics last night and it was all about team work, we took over control (of the peloton) with two kilometres to go and we had the perfect lead out," said Sutton. "I was the last man to lead out Greg (Henderson).
"I went as long as I could and thought if 'Hendy' could come around me, he would. I held on and got the win and we got one and two, which is incredible!"
Sutton then celebrated by riding another lap of the course so he could hug his family including father Gary, a 1980 track World Champion, who was positioned halfway round the circuit.
Back at the finish line Greipel and his team mates were ecstatic with the result which saw Greipel complete the six stage 794.5 kilometres in a total race time of 18hr47min05sec. Spaniard and 2005 Tour winner, Luis Leon Sanchez (Caisse d'Epargne) was second at 11 seconds and Henderson finished third at 15 seconds. Queensland's Robbie McEwen was the highest placed Australian edging ahead of Luke Roberts for fourth place with both 17 seconds off Greipel's time.
The Cycle Instead Best Young Rider U26 was won by Belgian Jurgen Roelandts (Omega Pharma - Lotto). AG2R la Mondiale claimed the SA Brilliant Blend Teams classification. Greipel also took out the Jayco Sprint competition and Milram's Thomas Rohregger (AUT) won the Skoda King of the Mountain jersey.
Stage Six was full of action with several riders still jostling for positions in the top ten overall making the time bonuses on offer for the two Jayco intermediate sprints very attractive. At the end of eight laps Henderson collected the three seconds ahead of South Africa's Robbie Hunter (Garmin-Transitions) who claimed two seconds and Victoria's Baden Cooke (Saxo Bank) picked up a one second bonus for third.
The second sprint saw McEwen fly from the bunch to mow down a lead group and collect three seconds ahead of Hunter with BMC's George Hincapie (USA) third.
There were also two Skoda King of the Mountain climbs today over Montefiore Hill. The first was contested by a breakaway group with Frenchman Mikael Cherel (Francaise des Jeux) won the first ahead of Astana's Valeriy Dmitriyev (KAZ) and category leader Rohregger.
On the second climb another group of escapees were clear of the peloton and Liquigas rider Fabio Sabatini (ITA) collected the maximum 16 points ahead of Sulzberger with Australia's Trent Lowe third across the line. That trio along with Slovenian Marcel Sieberg (Astana) desperately tried to gain more time on the race but they were on a 'hiding to nothing' as this final stage of the race has always been decided in a bunch sprint.

No joke. It seems like every time I find a re-run of Cops, it's set in Rialto. Rialto sort of scares me, and I don't fear bad neighborhoods lightly. The nearby towns have some redeeming factors, but about I can say for Rialto is they've got two 99c Only stores that suck less than the ones closer to me, aside from the chemical smell in both.
Hawkeye probably lives in Rialto and that's why the place sucks.

Just ran a test with wingers that were cushioned and you could not hear them.
Just ran a test with wingers that were cushioned and you could not hear them.
The Grand doesn't "cushion" their wingers. They are simply a new set from Gunners Up with eyebolts on the legs for stakes...no secret sound reducers...
Just throw your dog marks from wingers with NO shots in the field...he will get used to hearing the winger slap at a miriad of distances..

Remember when training from the buckett DON'T let the dog beat you from the blind to the buckett. Would hate to get to the Grand and be put out before ever getting to see a mark, because the dog beat you to the buckett.
Also one last thing you said your going to run finished tests before going to the grand. I'd try to find judges that have judged the grand before and run under them. I'd let them know my intention is to go to the Grand and I'd ask them what mark downs would they have given me if we were at the Grand. I.E. was my water blind a 1 or a 2. They'll let you know what you need to tighten up before going to the Grand. Hope this helps, and Good Luck.

The more I'm on the internet the more I love my dogs.
Be very careful giving commands at the Grand. Here, heel and sit are all fine as long as your dog isn't moving. Stopping forward motion with a command could be considered a controlled break. Train with someone that runs the Grand & take advice from them.
Some of the best Grand dogs sit absolutely still & only move their head with the gun.

OK, what is "cushioning a winger?"

Low blood sugar levels in newborn babies is also called neonatal hypoglycemia. It refers to low blood sugar (glucose) in the first few days after birth.
Babies need blood sugar (glucose) for energy. Most of that glucose is used by the brain.
The baby gets glucose from the mother through the placenta before birth. After birth, the baby gets glucose from the mother through her milk or from formula, and also produces it in the liver.
Glucose levels can drop if:
Neonatal hypoglycemia occurs when the newborn's glucose level is below the level considered safe for the baby's age. It occurs in about 1 to 3 out of every 1,000 births.
Low blood sugar levels are more likely in infants:
Infants with low blood sugar may not have symptoms. After birth, nurses in the hospital will check your baby's blood sugar levels, even if there are no symptoms.
If they do occur, symptoms may include:
Newborns at risk for hypoglycemia should have a blood test to measure blood sugar levels every few hours after birth. This will be done using a heel stick. The health care provider should continue taking blood tests until the baby's glucose level stays normal.
Other possible tests:
Infants with low blood sugar levels will need to receive extra feedings with breast milk or formula. Babies who are breast-fed may need to receive extra formula until the mother is able to produce enough breast milk.
The baby may need a sugar solution given through a vein (intravenously) if he or she is unable to eat by mouth, or if the blood sugar is very low.
Treatment will be continued for a few hours or days to a week, or until the baby can maintain blood sugar levels. Infants who were born early, have an infection, or were born at a low weight may need to be treated for a longer period of time.
If the low blood sugar continues, in rare cases the baby may also receive medication to increase blood sugar levels. In very rare cases, newborns with very severe hypoglycemia who don't improve with treatment may need surgery to remove part of the pancreas (to reduce insulin production).
The outlook is good for newborns who do not have symptoms or who respond well to treatment. However, low blood sugar levels can return in a small number of babies after treatment.
The condition is more likely to return when babies are taken off intravenous feedings before they are fully ready to eat by mouth.
Babies with more severe symptoms are more likely to develop problems with learning. This is especially true for babies who are at a lower-than-average weight or whose mother has diabetes.
Severe or persistent low blood sugar levels may affect the baby's mental function. In rare cases, heart failure or seizures may occur.
If you have diabetes during pregnancy, work with your health care provider to control your blood sugar levels. Be sure that your newborn's blood sugar levels are monitored after birth.

Your family will gobble up this rich chocolate cake with chocolate frosting cut and decorated to resemble a turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!
A bird in the freezer is worth two in the package! Bake and freeze two 9-inch rounds a week or two before Thanksgiving. A day or two before Thanksgiving, remove them from the freezer, cut, frost and decorate. You'll be thankful for all the time you'll save.
Create an attractive display by covering a tray or piece of sturdy cardboard with Thanksgiving theme wrapping paper. Then cover the tray with plastic food storage wrap. Stretch and secure with tape. Or cover cardboard with foil or cooking parchment paper.
Before frosting, brush off any crumbs from cake surfaces. Then create a "base" by spreading with a very thin coat of frosting. This prevents any cake crumbs from disturbing your perfectly frosted cake!

Over the last few weeks, the hacker collective Anonymous has shifted its attention to China. On March 30, Anonymous China defaced the first five of what would soon be hundreds of business and a few minor official websites, warning the Chinese government that it is "not infallible, today websites are hacked, tomorrow it will be your vile regime that will fall." The Who's "Baba O'Riley" (commonly known as "Teenage Wasteland") played on many of the sites, and Chinese netizens were directed to a link that explained how to get around Internet controls. Another hacker associated with the group LulzSec told Reuters that he breached the China National Import & Export Corporation, a defense contractor, and downloaded company documents to several file-sharing websites.
The group is apparently not based in China, and appears to rely on translation tools to work through Chinese networks. So far Anonymous China hasn't exposed anything particularly damaging. But China is a great country in which to dig: lacking a free press and ruled by the intensely paranoid Communist Party since 1949, it holds many secrets stored in fusty computer files across the Web.

The purpose of the Offender Watch Sex Offender Database is to provide information to the public concerning the location of sex offenders within LVMPD's jurisdiction. The registry is NOT intended to supplant the community notification process, but rather, it allows LVMPD to promote public awareness concerning the potential threat that sex offenders pose to LVMPD's jurisdiction citizens. An informed public is a safer public.
Realizing that it is impossible to notify every citizen about a sex offender's presence in their community, the registry will empower you to obtain information on some sex offenders and take the appropriate precautions. Furnishing the public with information regarding convicted sex offenders is a critical step towards encouraging the public to protect themselves from potential future acts.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has established this link for the most up to date information possible of the registered sex offenders, that have been TIER rated as a TIER 2 & 3 by the State Sex Offender Registry, living and/or working within LVMPD jurisdiction.
The registry does not contain information on all convicted sex offenders. Information is only provided for sex offenders with a risk assessment score of TIER level 2 & 3. The general public will be able to access the information on TIER level 2 & 3 offenders only. The LVMPD Sex Offender Detail updates there information with the State regularly, however, you are cautioned that the information may not reflect the current residential street or work information regarding the offender. If you believe that any of the information found in these records are in error please contact the LVMPD Sex Offender Detail at 702-828-2963.
THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS INTENDED FOR COMMUNITY SAFETY PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO THREATEN, HARASS, OR INTIMIDATE AN OFFENDER. MISUSE OF THIS INFORMATION OR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY DIRECTED AGAINST AN OFFENDER MAY RESULT IN CRIMINAL PROSECUTION and/or CIVIL ACTION.

Wedding + Holiday Paper Swoonfest | Delicious Illustrated Paper Creations By Anna Bond of Rifle Design
While rifling through some paper goods in house and online today, I rediscovered something. Something really special. I've seen her work before; colorful, expertly drawn prints…
… and flawless, unique stationery…
… but she's got something pretty awesome of which I just caught wind, and I cannot wait to tell you about it.
I'm talking about an A. MA. ZING. wedding stationery line from Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. I am so frikin' excited (SNL? Anyone?) about her wedding stationery line, I can't even tell you. I can't even. I mean I'm nearly keeling over due to dangerous levels of being thrilled about it.
So, looking for a brilliantly illustrated and personalized save the date? Or maybe you want an exquisitely drawn marriage certificate. Or maybe what you really want is the whole kit and caboodle (totally recommended… I like the way you think). Look no further.
I hope you love these, because they are deserving of someone's love. I've included my favorite wedding suites, and in addition to those beauties, I'm showing you some of her equally amazing work in the form of thank you notes, business cards, and more, all available on her site. And all of it is perfection.
By the way, since it's holiday time, I wouldn't just post about wedding paper, now would I? Scroll to the bottom for the most relevant treat of all…
~ A wedding suite by Anna Bond ~
Check this one out, New York brides…
~ Marriage Certificates by Anna Bond ~
~Save the Dates by Anna Bond ~
~Beautiful stationery and other paper goods by Anna Bond ~
Go on, check out the rest at her store.
Now, here's that treat I mentioned…
Yes, she makes holiday cards, too… if you want some of your own you'll have to hurry, many are already sold out!
And did I mention she makes wrapping sheets, as well? I know, I want to hang out with her right now, too.

Our recipe captures campers' favorite flavors in a bread made with crushed graham crackers and topped with marshmallow and chocolate glazes.
Once the glazes have been poured on top of the bread, it is best served the same day.
Save time and use purchased graham cracker crumbs. You will need 1 cup of crumbs for the bread and 1 to 2 tablespoons to sprinkle on top.
Before measuring marshmallow creme, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray so it comes out easily.

Great Apartment. I didn`t see Denise when I stay at her Apartment, but Glen was everytime available. I found the envirometn not so nice, but I didn`t have any problemes there.
we had the most incredible stay with Denise and her friend Glen. The minute we'd entered the appartement, we felt at home. Denise is a very open person and she really shares her home with the guests. Glen is always there to help, too. It is like having a family to rely on, in case you need it. The appartement / kitchen / bathroom are very clean and neat and cosy. I can recommend a stay anytime!
Thank you Denise for letting us stay at your home sharing it with us and for having so much fun with you and Glen. Felt as if I've known you guys for a long time. Hope to see you both again? Maybe next time in Germany????
I had a splendid time spending my time in DC at Denise's. Staying at her place made my stay in DC so much better than any hotel could have done so. I got a real taste of living in America and I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
The house is nice and clean and the kitchen is superb! Bus stops are around the corner and you're at a metro station within 15 minutes to go the National Mall (which will take you another additional 15 minutes). The neighbourhood is quiet and looks lovely.
If I'm visiting DC again, I would go here again in a heart beat. Thanks for the lovely stay!
My stay at this wimdu location was very nice. I can recommend it to people who appreciate a stay in a lively suburb of Washington DC where they can experience more from daily life than only the City. My stay was wonderful, which I owe for a big part to my wonderful host!

Undergrads Travel to Beijing for U.S.-China Student Summit
RIC students and Professor of Management Shani Carter flew to Beijing, China, in May to participate in the first-ever U.S.-China Student Summit. Nearly 200 American and 200 Chinese students participated in the program.
Carter, who is also special assistant to the vice president for academic affairs for outcomes assessment, served as faculty delegate and was accompanied by Yury Cardona '16 (elementary education), Stephanie Carpentieri '15 (economics and finance), Corey Major '14 (business management), Belanie Medina '15 (accounting) and Carissa Ricciarelli '15 (health care administration). A generous donation from Impco of East Providence partially funded the trip, which had as its purpose to strengthen U.S.-China relations.
Over the past decade, China has become the second-largest economy in the world and the United States' fastest-growing trade partner. In answer to President Barack Obama's call to deepen American understanding of China by promoting study abroad experiences for American students, the D.C.-based 100,000 Strong Foundation partnered with WorldStrides educational travel organization to create a study abroad experience, culminating in a U.S.-China Student Summit.
Young ambassadors were exposed to the language, culture, politics, business, education and social life of China. In Shanghai and Beijing – centers of both culture and business – they experienced both old and new China, touring the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and the Yuyuan Garden.
Students also explored China's educational system at Tsinghua University Affiliated High School and Peking University and got an inside look at China's multinational corporations. Carter said the students came away with a greater understanding of how to conduct international business and created a network of business contacts. They are more prepared now, she said, to provide leadership in Rhode Island companies that deal with international suppliers and associates.
The capstone of the trip was a two-day summit in Shanghai. Chinese government, business and academic leaders presented talks on topics important to future U.S.-China relations. U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus discussed the future leadership roles of American and Chinese students. Breakout discussions by the students covered such topics as Mandarin language study, student employment in China and summer internships.
"What I've gained most from the trip was a new perspective on life and the chance to become a global citizen," said Carpentieri. "I was able to immerse myself in a different culture and fully understand what it's like, and that's not something you can learn through a textbook. I not only learned from China, I am now able to see how my own country fits into global society."
Carter added how critically important it is to prepare RIC students for the changing global economics. "More than 100 companies in Rhode Island are engaged in ever-increasing international trade," she said. "It is more important than ever that Rhode Island College students be able to take their place on the world stage."

The 100,000 Strong Foundation is an independent, bipartisan nonprofit organization established in 2013 by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to promote the expansion and diversification of Americans studying abroad in China and learning the Mandarin language.
