For those of us without money for gas, and for those of us sick with the gym. Tucson has many fun buildings to climb, and I am interested in developing an area page. I would like some tips and suggestions as to where spots are. If you are not interested in buildering, or do not consider it real climbing that's fine! you do not have to waste your time with a response.
I consider myself a builderer. Haven't done it in a while because I am old now and get self conscious. Also I got arrested last time I was up on 'sobriety crack' downtown...charges were not climbing related. Steve
This would be cool. There's very few spots close to the U or downtown, so a list of places near there would be great, especially if legal (although Ed Abbey was a So. AZ native and great role model). A spot in town I've seen is the rock wall on the North side of the rattlesnake bridge. Good for traversing and not much else, but it's something.
Please tell where sobriety crack is located...
I can tell you right now there are many on highland by the U that I will be uploading soon. I'm not a student there, so help from someone who is would be appreciated. And sobriety crack location.... please.
Sobriety crack is in downtown flagstaff. It's an obvious fist crack between two buildings. I used to work for the guy who owned the buildings and he talked to me about filling it in so no one climbs it. I don't know if he will but just in case you should get knackered and go do it soon. It's right down from mountain sports.
I used to builder a fair bit back in high school. I'd be happy to contribute to this page if you put it up. The U of A is loaded with fun spots to climb, some of the most memorable being the pillars on the north side of the Life Sciences South building, several problems on the chemistry buildings, the upstairs of the student union, the student union clock tower and the hyland residence hall traverse. As a non-UA student I'm not too familiar with the building names, but I could definitely walk around and point the spots out if you wanted to meet up at some point.
There is no need to put this on the area, but there are cranes all over the university. Someone should hit that up.
there used to be a crack on the N side of the art building facing speedway. IIRC it was a #2 or #3 size, went up 3 stories and was easily climbable. a buddy of mine did it in 1989 or 1990. i am not sure if it is still there or not.

Smearing shoe rubber all over public art is probably a bad idea.^^^
robbo is that the chase bank on country club?
Euclid St Parking Garage, between University and 2nd. I've only known one party that's pulled it off without the 5-0 showing up. We got busted leading it, but no charges. The cops were actually pretty psyched about us doing it, 'cept for the illegal part. A perfect ~50' splitter divides the garage in half N-S; a bomber handcrack (for me) on the east side, fists (again, for me) on the Euclid/west side. Lap-solo it fast for the ultimate in covert. I've also heard that the Rillito Path has a horizontal OW simulator, but don't know much beta. Eric? Jimbo? jbak? y'all out there?
Thanks for all the suggestions! Feel free to add any of these to the area site.
many of the parking garages on campus have 5 or 6 story cracks from hands to off-width...there are also many fine thin traverses and other problems around the u of a. Many can be done without a crashpad, however, people tend to be a bit wierded out so the early hours of the morning seem to work best.
Anyone interested in running some laps on the urban splitters at U of A?
It's been a long time since Chauancy Parker and i attempted to climb the south buttress of a large bank building in down town Phoenix. The chimney system is about 4 to 5 feet wide for at least 20 stories. To protect the ascent we decided to bring along two 2x4's with drilled holes threaded with one inch tubular webbing. The building has indentations every four feet or so which we could lay the 2x4 across and clip in and protect the climb, or so we thought. We started at midnight and found the climbing easy with good rests but after four stories we bailed and down climbed thinking about the exposure, concrete and all the trouble we would face if caught. It would make a great climb in a buildering sort of way. You can't miss the building if you driving I-10 past Phx, it's a deep chimney begging to be climbed.

Some information contradicts information that we received from other books. There was only a few pages on each dinosaur, maybe due to number of dinosaurs or lower level reading??? It has vivid pictures of each dinosaur. This book is a good book to add to a family library.

Ayinde is out for revenge in the ring
8:00am Sunday 11th May 2014 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Kingston boxer Anthony Ayinde is out for revenge when he gets his first shot at title glory.
The 22-year-old welterweight will step through the ropes next month to challenge for the vacant Queensbury Boxing League novice welterweight title against old rival Ashley Dansie.
Ayinde has strung together an impressive run of victories in the competition since his first and only loss against Dansie on his Queensbury debut back in September of 2013.
The youngster admitted he was a little ring rusty back then, but would be better this time around.
"When I met Dansie on my debut I had taken the fight at only 10 days notice and just wasn't fit enough," he said.
"But this time I'm coming into the fight with plenty of time to prepare and you're going to see a very different result.
"Since that first meeting we've both come a long way and are both more experienced in the league, and this time I feel that I'm going to be a much more dangerous fighter."

PLATTSBURGH — About 50 men, women and children stretched along the sidewalk on Smithfield Boulevard in the rain to participate in an hour of prayer Sunday afternoon.
Champlain Valley Right to Life, a non-denominational organization serving Franklin, Essex and Clinton counties that campaigns to end abortion, gathered to take part in the National Life Chain, an annual event across the country.
The peaceful demonstrators carried umbrellas and signs with messages such as "Lord, forgive us and our children" and "abortion kills children." A few participants sang "Amazing Grace," while others prayed.
Marty Mischenko, a pastor at Mountain Meadows and the director of Champlain Valley Right to Life, said the goal Sunday was to span as far as possible along the sidewalk.
"The purpose today is to show our support and our solidarity for men and women who have experienced or survived abortion," he said.
Champlain Valley Right to Life champions rights from birth to natural death, Mischenko explained.
"We can provide (parents) the resources to make sure they make the right and healthy choice for their baby," he said.
Resources are available for parents in the Plattsburgh area, Mischenko said, but they may not always be obvious or easy to find.
"We're all about advocacy," he said. "If they're pro-life, they're welcome here."
Mischenko also planned to have a peaceful presence in front of Planned Parenthood.
His wife, Deborah Mischenko, came to support the cause and handed out laminated signs for the demonstrators to carry.
Though she's never had an abortion, she's thought about it in the past and was glad she didn't follow through. Mrs. Mischenko hopes the demonstration will inspire others to make the same choice.
"Other people will see the signs and stop to ask questions," she said. "There is help out there."

I'm sorry, but I feel this has to be said. For as long as this feature discusses winter league games, it really needs to include Bobby Abreu's name in honor of his performances. Something like Minor League Update: The Game that Bobby Abreu Played on January 21, plus some others.

I love the Bobby Abreu coverage, but I just discovered that his teammate is ex-con Ugueth Urbina. It feels like he deserves some coverage as well, right? Maybe an all-washed-out winter league feature is in order?

One of the most crucial components of any business is to have a website that can showcase your services or products. It is your means of letting the world know what your company is all about. Nowadays, everything is Internet driven and a website is the best way to get your name out there.
Content is important for any website. What significance would your website have if there wasn't any content visible? Content not only gives your audience insight as to what your business is all about, but it also gives them a reason to keep returning to your site. Company blog posts are a great way to keep fresh content rolling in. They help keep your company visible within the search engines and provide you with a great opportunity to build an online community.
So when you make the decision to attach a blog post to your website or even write the static content for your website, should you outsource or insource your content? Outsourcing your content means that you have hired outside sources to write up the content for your website. While insourcing means that you have hired writers yourself and they intend to write for the company as one of its regular employees.
There are pros and cons to both outsourcing and insourcing. Ultimately, you will need to decide what you feel is best for your company. Some companies will outsource their content creation at first, but then decide to insource as their website's audience grows.
Pros and Cons for Outsourcing Content
- Outsourcing is typically cheaper than insourcing.
- You can easily hire a company to delegate your content work for you.
- You won't have to worry about having enough office space for writers.
- There is no need to provide benefits and other advantages typically given to full-time employees.
- You can outsource content during busier seasons and hire for temporary work.
- When you outsource content, the quality of the work tends to lack. Those who are writing for your company yet not working for it may not be as knowledgeable of the business.
- You won't have as much control or contact with whomever you had decided to outsource the content to.
- It's hard to rely on those working off-site to complete their workload on time.
Pros and Cons of Insourcing
- Hiring people to write content for you in the office will give you the opportunity to have personal contact with them. They can ask questions when necessary and even be trained properly.
- Working from inside the office will give them the opportunity to better learn what the business is about. Therefore, their content will be more relatable and of a higher quality.
- The work will be turned in quicker and you will have complete control of the workload and content.
- You will be able to provide clear instructions directly to the content writer.
- You can train them in other areas of the business or even teach them SEO tactics and social media marketing strategies.
- It may cost more for you to hire an in-office content writer.
- You may be liable to provide benefits such as vacation days and health insurance.
- You will have to have enough space for the writers to have office space.
- Desks and other necessities will need to be provided to the content writers.
- It may be difficult to find professional writers and researchers to work in the office to do content writing for your website.
- Insourcing could lead to more personalities in the office which may lead to creative differences between writers.
As anyone can see, there are many pros and cons to both outsourcing and insourcing. Companies will always differ in their opinions of which method of content creation is better. It really all comes down to your preference and what you believe would benefit your website and company the most.
Prior to building out your website, make a detailed game plan. You will want to cover all of the bases. Be sure that you have everything planned accordingly, including whether or not you will be outsourcing or insourcing your content writers. You will not want to publish your website and make it visible until you have the content prepared and ready for primetime.
Regardless of whether you choose to insource or outsource your content, it is vital that you have quality, well-written, and relevant subject matter. It must be engaging and clear for your audience to read and understand. You will want to sell your product or services through words and images.
When it comes to fresh content being produced for your blog, you can choose to have your writers compose newsworthy articles within your business' niche or even write up general content, but you will want content produced daily to keep your website visible within the search engines. Enhancing your content with keywords and employing SEO strategies will aid in search engine visibility. That is one of the biggest advantages of having content writers in the office. You can have them trained to enhance your content with SEO tactics that are geared towards your company.
Overall, content is a necessity for any website. Especially if your business has many websites, you will want to have several writers providing content for them. This will keep the content fresh and less repetitive. Just sit down and weigh out the pros and cons of insourcing and outsourcing. See what will work best for your company and remember that you can always begin with outsourcing and when business picks up, convert to insourcing.

Students take on comprehensive immigration reform for annual Integrated Policy Exercise
Thursday, January 21, 2010
The winter semester kicked off early for Ford School MPP students, who arrived back on campus before classes started for the annual Integrated Policy Exercise (IPE). The topic for this year's IPE was comprehensive immigration legislation, a package of reforms that President Bush tried but failed to pass four years ago and that President Obama has now vowed to sponsor.
The IPE is designed as an opportunity for MPP students to engage with a real-world policy issue. During the three-day exercise students adopt decision-maker or stakeholder roles and develop, negotiate, and debate various proposals. The IPE alternates focus between issues of domestic and international significance. Past topics have included healthcare reform in Michigan, an AIDS global forum, urban revitalization, and reform of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
This year's IPE was led by Professor Ann Lin, an Associate Professor of Public Policy and Political Science who has published and taught widely on issues related to immigration. Ann compiled a list of the most important and/or controversial immigration proposals from 2006, and then gave students the chance to see if they could weld those proposals into a bill that the current U.S. Senate might accept. Students were assigned to represent key senators on immigration reform. To increase the realism of the exercise, senators were also given control of differently-sized voting blocs, which encouraged students to choose coalition partners strategically.
MPP student Atur Desai at the 2010 Integrated Policy Exercise
Lin developed an innovative new format for this year's exercise. She and her GSIs, Alison Walsh and Alexander Nosnik, divided the students into three groups. The groups independently ran the same simulation, reconvening on the third day to debrief, compare their experiences, and get feedback on their results from policy professionals.
The concurrent simulations allowed all students to play an active role in the IPE, ameliorating a challenge posed by recent growth in MPP class sizes. The innovation also provided the opportunity for integrative post-simulation discussion of how the process and the results varied among the three groups.
The exercise began with orientation to the issues, including a primer on Senate rules (David King, UM Ph.D. '92) along with substantive briefings by experts that included three Ford School alumni: Will Nash (MPP '09), Carol Kim (MPP '99) and Shannon Wheeler (MPP '05). Students then launched into the simulation itself, including committee hearings, committee mark-ups, and then a floor vote – all run mostly in accordance with actual Senate rules.
The morning of the final day was devoted to debriefing and discussion. The three simulations passed bills that, while broadly similar, included many different provisions. After presenting their final bills, students dissected why things turned out the way they did in each simulation, including what key compromises might have been made and what coalitions ended up taking shape. The experience of simulating and then analyzing the policy process was especially successful: on a scale of 1 to 4, students reported that the IPE helped them work with and understand diverse groups and perspectives (3.67); gain new insight into the policy process (3.98); and understand their actor's challenges, constraints and opportunities (3.87).
The last event of the IPE brought three longtime observers of immigration reform to the Ford School via videoconference to evaluate the students' work. Cecilia Munoz, Director, Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, The White House, was the former vice-president of the National Council of La Raza and is now the Obama Administration's point person on immigration reform. Daniel Tichenor, Phillip H. Knight Professor of Social Science, University of Oregon, is a historian of immigration reform efforts from the 19th century to the present day. Tamar Jacoby, CEO, ImmigrationWorksUSA, is a former New York Times and Newsweek reporter and now a leading conservative organizer of small business support for immigration reform.
Each offered his or her own insights into the potential for comprehensive immigration reform legislation. They also provided "realpolitik" feedback on the three bills passed by the students, noting a few provisions that seemed less than likely to see the light of day in the actual U.S. Senate. (One simulated bill resulted in the legalization of marijuana. In another, the citizens of Washington, DC were finally granted voting rights thanks to the machinations of "Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT).")
"I learned a lot about the legislative process – how a bill makes its way through Senate committees and how and why various stakeholders get their say," said Mynti Hossain (MPP '11), who played the part of Senator Al Franken in the simulation. As a relatively new member of the Senate, her "Senator Franken" leaned on existing alliances with other Democrats throughout the process. Mynti noted that the floor debate was especially intriguing: "There was so much enthusiasm and even suspense. For a while, it seemed that we would never reach cloture as the Republicans, Democrats, and Independents refused to budge. The negotiations that took place between parties to reach an agreement were interesting, to say the least."

The Lycian Midget II (booth #421), model 1212, has received formal CE approval. The Midget II which supersedes the long lived Clubspot was built in a 230V 50Hz version with the European market in mind as well as a 120V 60Hz version for the North American market. The CE version operates with a 800W Philips lamp.
The Midget II CE approval closely follows the recent approval of the 1294 SuperArc 4K Xenon making both the value leader and flagship model in the Lycian line CE.
"The continuing process of submitting product for CE testing is clear proof that Lycian intends to offer the European market a quality line of followspots that meets all applicable standards," says Steve Lerman, director of sales and marketing. "The Lycian line is very extensive and should offer a viable alternative to the domestic products. We plan to submit several more followspots for CE approval."

A look at Trevor Immelman's champions' menu at the Masters
- 5:31 pm Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 by Greg Stoda
Just in case you wondered what Trevor Immelman was serving at the champion's dinner Tuesday night:
"My red meat option is a dish we call babotie, which is very prominent in the Western Cape (of South Africa) where I'm from. That dish is cooked minced meat. It has something that gives it a curry favor. Once the meat is cooked in the spices, a very thin layer of egg is put on top of it and then baked. You eat it with yellow rice. It's going to be fantastic, actually, with this cold weather. [More]

More than 75 years later events like the Holocaust force us into reflection. Reflection on lives lost and reflection of warning to signs of genocide today. That is the theme of this years National Days of Remembrance.
In a ceremony at Naval Support Activity Panama City, keynote speaker Hy Wakstein gave a first hand account of the events. Wakstein shared his story of being a 21 year old in World War II.
The young American not only helped liberate a concentration camp in Europe, but also lost 22 family members under the Nazi Regime.
Wakstein says it's important to remember that genocide did not end during the Holocaust and is still happening today.
"It's re-occurring all over the world now," said Wakstein. "There are dictators, maniacal people, that are killing their own citizens.
"What little effort that we can put forth to help prevent that or to see that a tragedy such as the Holocaust never happens again is more than well worth the effort."
National Holocaust Remembrance week is April 7th through the 14th.

News: Kanye West's Ex-Fiancee Speaks, "I Don't Think I Would Date Another Rapper"
Wednesday, Jun 8, 2011 3:30PM
Alexis Phifer, ex-fiance of Gammy-winning rapper/producer Kanye West, has publicly reflected on her life without Yeezy and explains why she will never date another emcee.
Phifer expressed her feelings on dating while in the public eye, and said she never looked to gain fame and fortune from her relationship with Yeezy.
"I believe that you get what you want out of a situation and Kanye will tell you, that I didn't [want that attention]," she explained. "It's weird. I'll get on the red carpet and over-criticize myself. I don't want that attention. [West's ex-lover Amber Rose] wanted that and that's what she got out of it. But if I want to go to King magazine [Ed Note: This interview was conducted prior to Amber Rose's June 2011 King cover] right now and be in a sexy bathing suit I'm sure I'd generate some type of interest. It's just the decisions you make that put you where you are. She is where she's at because that's where she wants to be and I'm where I'm at because that's where I want to be also." (VIBE)
No longer with Ye, Phifer said she does not envision getting romantically linked with a rapper in the future.
"I don't think I would date another rapper. I don't foresee it," she added. "I mean, I don't know, I guess it's like, you never want anybody to judge you, so if the right rapper came along -- but even Kanye was kind of a different type of guy. He wasn't your typical rapper. He was just different. And there aren't a lot of guys in that field that are different in the way that he was. The reason why I even gave Kanye my number was because he didn't seem threatening." (VIBE)
Recently, New York radio host Angela Yee talked to SOHH and suggested Ye should get back together with Phifer.
"Kanye West, he tends to be very public with his relationships but I'm sure it's hard not to be because he's always in the public eye [and] everyone cares so much about who he's dating," Ang told SOHH. "If I were him, I might try to get back together with the woman that he was engaged to, Alexis [Phifer]. It seemed like he had his own thing going with her as far as the modeling and designing. She never really got caught up in the whole 'celebrity' [ideal]. She still has never really said anything about him. I don't know what's happened to her, but he needs somebody who knew his mom and maybe [she] would be a good one." (SOHH)
No longer with his fiancee or model Amber Rose, Kanye West recently revealed his romance woes.
"I'm a hopeless romantic and I'm looking and trying to decide who the mother of my child will be. It's not going to be based off a whim of being in love; she has to bring a certain level to the table. I want to be married, I want that super-dope counterpart, that one woman, but she has to be super-fresh, super-smart and not overwhelmed by her career. I'll find her, maybe I'll be 38 ... maybe I'm not fully who I am yet, maybe that's why I haven't found her ... The main quality is that you know that this person will ride or die for you. Whether she's mad at you, whether she's with you or nor, she still loves you, she stills bigs you up in any circle. She doesn't talk down about you to other people. That's the main thing that I need." (ID Magazine)

Goblet of Fire Film News: Info on Weird Sisters GroupGoFFilm
There is a new interview in the Melbourne Herald Sun where Harry Potter producer David Heyman reveals some details about the appearance of the Weird Sister band in the upcoming Goblet of Fire film. David Heyman describes the music of the band as "rock'n'roll with an 80's feel and a little bit of weirdness." Singer Jarvis Cocker and Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and drummer Phil Selway will be part of the Weird Sisters group, playing at the Yule Ball. The Great Hall of Hogwarts is described as having been "transformed into a shimmering silver wonderland, with a stage made of ice."
Update: Check out a scan of this article here. (Update2: This link is fixed now.)
For spoilers on a description of the bands appearance read below.
The issue of the trio returning to the next Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is also discussed. David Heyman is quoted as saying he was "quietly confident" that the trio may be back again for the fifth Potter film "and maybe beyond". Rupert Grint says "There's no reason, really, why we couldn't go on. I don't know about the others, but I want to go on."
Click below for the spoilers on the Weird Sisters.
Thanks very much Emily!
" David Heyman says he first approached Cocker, who had written four songs for the film. 'Jarvis is a great lyricist who imbuded the songs with wit and completely got the tone we were after.' he said. In the film you'll see the Weird Sisters play regular instruments that are a little bit strange, like bagpipes with really long pipes and guitars with three necks. And because there's no electricity at Hogwarts, the sound system has to be powered by steam, so you see these bursts of steam coming out of the speakers."

METAIRIE, La. — Jim Harbaugh knows about Gregg Williams' speech prior to the Saints' NFC divisional playoff game against his 49ers.
But don't ask him about what the former Saints defensive coordinator said. He won't tell you what he thinks.
"I have a take on it, but I don't think anybody needs another person to jump on the bandwagon with an opinion who doesn't have all the facts," Harbaugh said during a conference call with New Orleans media Wednesday. "I'll just take myself out of discussion. (We) don't need one more person hopping on the bandwagon of opinion."
By now, Williams' speech is known well enough that "kill the head, the body will die" has become a common phrase when folks speak recall parts of the bounty scandal.
The speech was filmed by independent filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who was working on a documentary about former Saint Steve Gleason. Williams' words were supposed to inspire New Orleans' defensive players to play hard and physically against the hard-hitting 49ers.
In it, Williams calls on the Saints to account for running back Frank Gore, saying, "We've got to do everything in the world to make sure we kill Frank Gore's head. We want him running sideways. We want his head sideways."
He also says to his player to go after the knee of receiver Michael Crabtree, adding, "We need to decided whether Crabtree wants to be a … prima donna or he wants to be a tough guy. We need to find out and he becomes human when you … take out that outside ACL."
Yet, 11 months later, tight end Vernon Davis still isn't upset by the speech.
"That has nothing to do with us," Davis said. "We're not worried about that because every game, everybody's out to get you. He was probably just getting them pumped up with things like that. That's what every team does.
"You never know. I'm sure there's a lot of teams saying different things about different guys, depending on who the team is. That's just the nature of football. It's not a big deal. We don't worry about it."

As the Steelers enter the final weeks of the regular season, several issues bear watching.
The health of QB Ben Roethlisberger tops the list. Roethlisberger aggravated a foot injury early in the Steelers' Week 12 win at Buffalo but didn't miss a snap. The Steelers said it was an existing injury "where scar tissue is present," not a new break. He threw for 246 yards in the victory vs. Buffalo and gained 18 yards and a pivotal, drive-extending first down on his only rushing attempt of the game.
Injury concerns for Roethlisberger are nothing new. He's played all 16 games just once in his Steelers career, and he has played through nagging ailments in the past.
Unfortunately, concerns about the Steelers' pass protection aren't new, either.
Roethlisberger has taken a pounding recently, as opponents have notched 12 sacks in the last three games, with the Patriots and Bills bringing him down five times apiece. The offensive line has struggled of late, as teams have had success rushing both off the edges and up the middle. Roethlisberger's daring, hold-the-ball-to-the-last-instant style of play also increases the risk of being hit.
One hit Roethlisberger took vs. the Bills — a sack credited to DT Marcus Stroud, with LB Arthur Moats in on the play, which left Roethlisberger shaken up — drew the Steelers' ire after Stroud rolled over Roethlisberger and Moats went over the top of the quarterback. The play did not draw a fine.
However, ROLB James Harrison drew a fine for a fourth time this season for a hit, with the NFL docking him $25,000 for hitting Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick with his helmet. The fine left Harrison vowing not to change his style of play. ("The way I play," Harrison said, "there's nothing wrong with it.") Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, when asked if Harrison would have to change his tackling form, noted, "Obviously he does, because the league doesn't agree with him." Meanwhile, NFL senior vice president of operations Ray Anderson disputed the notion that the Steelers were being focused on for discipline more than any other team.
Perhaps somewhat lost in the controversy about Harrison's style of play is that the 32-year-old linebacker is in the midst of one of his finer seasons, already having 10 sacks to his credit and on pace to notch triple-digit tackles for the second time in his career.

Wow, the City's favourite will have the approval of 5.580 people in a city of some 150, 000 people, IF HE WINS, but he probably won't win. If "Tory Stansfield" wins, this will give us a police force definitely backed by 1,719 citizens, less than 1.2% .
That isn't a good way to organise things, is it ? The police force of communist East Germany probably had a bigger popular backing than that.

Full Report: Nick Clegg visits Berwick
The Deputy Prime Minister says that he is 'acutely aware' of the strength of feeling for improvements to the A1 in Northumberland.
Nick Clegg was questioned on the issue during a visit to Berwick today.
Mr Clegg says that he cannot promise that the road will be made a dual carriageway throughout the county.
However, he has said the government is looking at the options.

The transfer window reviews are still coming in. Scott Wilson of The Northern Echo quotes Chris Hughton as saying that he's content with a quiet Deadline Day. Miles Starforth of Jarrow & Hebburn Gazette praises the moves that were made. His headline is about Mike Ashley, but really the article is about Hughton. Hughton was complimentary of Ashley's financial backing; however, what stands out about these transfers to me are the quality of players received for relatively little money. Starforth also notes that Ben Arfa, Tiote, and Campbell will all be ready to face Blackpool on September 11.
Speaking of Mr. Campbell, he told BBC that he is indeed targeting September 11 for first team action. I have to believe that he'll be on a short leash if he does get the start. Also, I saw several stories (here is one example) that expressed surprise that he would make the roster. Of course his level of fitness has been widely questioned, but I never thought his standing with the team would be in jeopardy. Before today, I hadn't stopped and done all of the math, but ultimately we only had 23 players that needed to be listed anyway, so why would anybody be left out? It makes me feel silly that I ever entertained the idea that Steven Taylor might not make the cut.
Alana Coates of The Montreal Gazette is apparently very impressed with HBA, and not convinced at all that the rest of the squad is anything special. I like HBA. HBA will not be the face of this team.

One of the more popular assignments that I gave when I taught high school art was to "replicate" a photograph from a magazine layout or advertisement. The students really enjoyed using each other as models and I loved seeing their interpretations of famous photos. This weekend Loopy and I did the same thing, using Sarah Jessica Parker's ad for Lovely perfume as our inspiration.
I almost can't tell the difference between Loopy and SJP herself!

The expectations in Dallas were muted a bit during training camp when ILB Sean Lee got off to a bit of a slow start. He wasn't bad, mind you, but he wasn't having the breakout type of camp many expected or hoped from him. The thinking even might have changed in some camps that Keith Brooking would maintain his starting job another season, or part of one, as Lee continued to get up to the level needed to start. Instead, Lee opened Week One ahead of Brooking and showed he's doing just fine with an interception and some strong play in helping hold the Jets to 2.8 yards per rush attempt. Lee might be best in coverage right now — he picked off Peyton Manning twice as a rookie — but our sources indicate Lee is reading his keys and filling gaps well as a run stopper, too. That's a role Brooking played very well in 2009 but less so last season.

|Common Name
|Scientific Name
|Vinegar, Pomace or Small Fruit Flies
|Drosophila spp.
Vinegar flies may become a nuisance in homes, restaurants, fruit markets, canneries, etc., especially when associated with decaying or rotting fruit and vegetables. Indoors, flies may be seen hovering around overripe fruit and vegetables, baked goods containing yeast, garbage cans and beverages such as fruit juices, cider, soft drinks, beer, wine and vinegar. Sometimes a rotten banana, potato, tomato, onion, melon, squash, pineapple or apple, dirty garbage receptacle, unclean sour mop or dishcloth, empty tomato catsup bottle, or drain water in refrigerators or iceboxes can yield a heavy population of these flies. Outdoors, they become numerous during summer and autumn where fruit and vegetables are harvested and then suddenly disappear when cold weather arrives. Some species are attracted to human and animal excrement, also feeding on fruits and uncooked foods, serving as a disease carrier.
|Vinegar flies
Top and Side View
Adult vinegar flies are about 1/8 to 1/5 inch long, dull brownish-yellow to brownish-black with red eyes in some species. The head and thorax are tan-colored, while the abdomen is black and gray underneath. The wings have two "breaks" in the leading edge near the body. The third antennal segment is oval or long with the outer bristle (arista) nearly always feathered. Eggs are pearly white with two to four threadlike tubes seen under magnification. Larvae are about 1/10 to 1/5 inch long, cream-colored, legless, eyeless and tapered to a point at the head end. Larvae have an extended stalk-like breathing tube at the tail end of the body. Pupae are about 1/8 inch long, brown and seedlike, with two hornlike stalks at one end.
Female flies lay about 500 eggs (up to 2,000 eggs) singly near the surface of moist, fermenting food material such as overripe fruit, rotten vegetables, dirty garbage containers, slime in drains and waste materials. Eggs hatch in 24 to 30 hours into tiny larvae that feed near the surface of fermenting food masses. Larvae feed principally on the yeast in the fermenting fluids from five to six days and crawl to drier portions of the food or even out of it to pupate. The larva transforms into the pupa in the last larval skin or puparium. Newly emerged flies are attracted to light, become sexually active in about two days, mate more than once and are strong fliers, traveling up to 6-1/2 miles in 24 hours. The life cycle may be completed in 8 to 15 days depending on the temperature.
Adults are attracted to yeast growth that cause fermentation and populations may build up on boxes of cracked tomatoes in the field or on pallets at receiving stations of canneries. This fly has been widely used by geneticists in studies of the laws of heredity since it is very prolific, easy to rear and has a short life cycle. Experiments with radiation-induced mutations in these flies led to the successful discovery of the sterile-male technique for insect control, especially the screwworm and certain other fruit flies. Eggs laid by females become nonviable after mating with radiation-treated males. Some species of fruit or vinegar flies have been responsible for human intestinal myiasis (a form of diarrhea) common among workers in grape vineyards.
Vinegar flies do not bite humans but are a nuisance by their presence. It is best to concentrate on eliminating the larval feeding sites and breeding sites.
In Ohio, these flies are often quite abundant outdoors in late August, September and October when fruits and vegetables become ripe and mature. Homeowners bring garden produce indoors unknowingly along with various life stages of these flies.
Sanitation is critical in the successful control of these flies. Sometimes simply eliminating an overripe banana, jars of fermenting home canned foods, cider, fruit juices, empty catsup containers or dirty garbage cans will control these pests. All exposed fruits and vegetables not consumed immediately should be refrigerated before fermentation begins. Check garbage-laden drain water, clean the gelatinous material in drain pipes and install (16 mesh) screens since these flies can pass through ordinary house fly screening.
Successful control involves eliminating all possible breeding sites. Sites can be found by placing masking tape or clear plastic taped over garbage disposals and drain openings overnight to detect fly emergence.
Use good night-light discipline, especially over doors and windows when adults are present. Use special yellow light not attractive to insects. Mercury-vapor lamps at entrances should be replaced with sodium-vapor lamps. Flies are attracted to light and moisture.
Where vinegar or other nuisance flies are a potential threat to food processing plants, forcing a strong current of air, aimed at an angle toward the exterior of the plant over vehicle doorways, has proven to be a valuable prevention tool.
One commercial, nontoxic, pesticide-free vinegar fly trap is known as "Bio-Logic Natural Catch Plus Fruit Fly Trap." This convenient ready-to-use vinegar or fruit fly trap reduces fly populations 70 to 80 percent or more. Traps are placed three to four feet apart on countertops or in display cases of onions, bananas, tomatoes, salad bars or wherever flies are a problem. These simple, safe, low maintenance traps remain effective, approximately 30 days. The attractant is a pre-measured food-grade vinegar.
A Mason jar with black paint or paper to cover the mouth or top third makes a good trap. Coat the inside of the jar with a sticky liquid such as diluted honey or vegetable oil. Invert the jar over a bait such as crushed bananas. Rest the jar upside down on two blocks of wood to allow flies space enough to feed on the bait. After leaving the bait, they fly upwards to the light portion of the jar, rest on the sides and are killed or get stuck.
Household pressurized aerosol sprays of pyrethrins will give good kill of flies, but will do nothing to eliminate larval (immature) populations. Repeat spray applications will be needed to kill additional, newly-emerging adults from immature stages at the feeding and breeding site until sites are found and eliminated. For fruit flies in food processing plants, cyfluthrin (Tempo) is labelled. Before using any insecticide, always read the label and follow directions and safety precautions.

Wanderers skipper hoping charity begins at home from now on
3:38pm Thursday 22nd May 2014 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Giles Puckle might be cursing Neil Mander's charitable intentions, but the Malden Wanderers skipper has promised his men can only get better.
Puckle's men were relegated from the Surrey Championship Premier Division last summer and have begun life in Division One with back-to-back 50-over defeats.
Wanderers were humbled at Normandy on the season's opening day and narrowly lost by four-runs at home to Cranleigh on Saturday.
Simon Crampton, Sean Cousins and Michael Cottrell left the club over the summer, while Mander, below, broke his ankle in a charity game of rugby prior to the start of the season.
"We finished where we deserved to last year, but we should've done slightly better," said Puckle last week.
"Losing those players has been a blow. While the others have moved on, losing Neil to injury has been tough. He is an important player for us with bat and ball.
"Neil was playing his first ever game of rugby in a charity event before the season and unfortunately it is not the sort of sport that you can just pick up without any preparation. He'll be out for a while, but we hope to have him back this year.
"We have not brought in an overseas player, so we are
relying on the second team and players we already have here.
"The second team have been successful over the past few years, so now it is their chance to step up.
"But it is going to take time for them to find their feet and get used to this level."
Will Sabey claimed 4-36 as Wanderers restricted Cranleigh to 189-8, and the hosts were well in the race to win right up until Puckle fell short of being the hero as he was his side's last man out on 46 with seven balls left.
Malden Wanderers look for their first win at Farnham on Saturday.

How many articles you update in a day or how frequent ?
We all know that quality articles weigh a lot in SEO work, and we also know that it's not easy to write good articles.The work is painstaking, but most of us are sticking to do it.
I update 2 or 3 each day, what about you? And how it works?

First of all, this is the content forum, not the SEO forum so we won't bother discussing SEO in any thread here. Second, there is a very similar thread right now: How many posts should you generate a week. I suggest if you want to discuss numbers instead of quality, you should join that discussion.

The illustrations in Animals Are Sleeping are gorgeous. As the name suggests, they show various animals asleep in their habitats. The images manage to be rich and colorful and sleep-inducing at the same time. The text is simple, with only a brief fragment of a sentence per page (the common refrain is "Shhh . . . shhh . . . the animals are sleeping"). It has become part of our bedtime books pile many nights this week. The Bibliophile is highly amused by the phrase "catnap" on one of the pages, and overall is pleased with the whole book. Highly recommend. Like all Sylvan Dell Publishing books, there is an educational section in the back - which is also printable from their website; it contains a sleeping animal matching activity, in which readers guess which animal goes with different factual paragraphs below. We haven't tried it (since we keep reading it at bedtime), but it looks fun.
Happy Birthday to Whooo? has a unique format. The right side page contains a mock baby birth announcement, which is a riddle for the reader to guess the type of animal to which the announcement applies. For instance, one announcement says:
Jumping With JoyThen the next page contains two kangaroos and a baby, with the text "A baby kangaroo grows inside its mother's pouch and is called a Joey." It is a fun idea. For us, the riddles didn't work. I'm guessing my son is just a bit to young to get the idea (he's just under 3). But we have read it multiple times anyway, just reading the left side pages (with the animal facts), and he enjoys it. Again, I really like the illustration style (by Lisa Downey). The educational section in the back includes information about animal families, some more animal fun facts, and an activity in which you create a 6 foot long line with chalk, and then mark the length or height of each animal mentioned in the book.
For My Baby Boy!
Born in Australia on June 2,
my baby is only 1/2 inch long
and weighs just 1/4 ounce.
Mrs. Down Under
is the happy mother.
I was excited to read this one, since we have some blackberry bushes in our backyard. Blackberry Banquet describes how a popular blackberry bush pleases the palates of various animals, from a mouse to a squirrel to a bear. It contains a lot of sound effects, which might amuse your child. They weren't my favorite for reading aloud, but overall I liked the book. It would be a fun companion read to blackberry picking (of course) or baking. The educational section in the back includes additional information about blackberries, a blackberry smoothie recipe (yum), and an introduction to food webs.
Excerpt:Yesterday he informed me that he didn't like this book, and that we should bring it to the library for another little boy to read. But, upon further inquiry, that's because he doesn't like the idea that the other animals were scared of the bear. This is NOT a scary book. He's going through a weird scared phase lately. Among the other victims this week: all Diego videos (why, I have no idea) and a Jumpstart canoe game, which he insists he will not be playing anymore. "At. All."
Squirrel skips into the brambles thick.
That snacking squirrel gives a great big lick.
Slurp! mmm-mm!
Tweet! Mmm-mm!
Squeak! Mmm-mm!
I enjoyed this, as did the Bibliophile, which isn't surprising, given his love of geography. Two-page spreads feature glimpses of the lives of children from different countries around the world. Playful illustrations keep the mood light and fun. It is a little long, so the Bibliophile's interest tends to wander partway through. But, we both like it enough that I would deem it worthy of purchasing. I think I first read about it on Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns?
Other favs this week:
We read it in the library and liked it; he insisted on taking it home, but hasn't been wanting to read it here for some reason.
A bit advanced for him, but a cute idea, and he opted to keep it for another week rather than return it to the library.
I finally picked this up, after seeing it praised on many blogs. I can see why; I really enjoy reading it aloud, so I keep hoping he'll pick it to read at night. I feel like it's not really all that appealing on HIS level. But, all evidence to the contrary, because he said he wanted to take it home (after reading it in the library), chooses it to read at night now and then, and insists he likes it.
I think I better stop there if I ever want to get this posted. I am linking this up with What My Child is Reading and Kid Konnection.

For what it's worth, here lies my 10 favourite songs of 2012 (which follows #50-41, #40-31, #30-21 and #20-11).
It continues trends throughout the entire list (Canadians, Swedes, guilty pleasure pop, fun indie rock, breakup songs, empowerment anthems, etc) and is capped off with the two artists that as far as I'm concerned gave the most important contributions to music in 2012: Frank Ocean and Fiona Apple. Each were represented once previously on the list (with Ocean's incredibly catchy cautionary tale on materialism, 'Lost' and with Apple's scathing and intense post-breakup ballad 'Regret') but they come up again at #2 and #1 with two of the most lyrically gorgeous songs I've heard in some time (just above what I almost made #1 -- the year's ultimate breakup/empowerment song and perhaps its most catchy from my new favourite Swedes).
I'll leave it as some tiny, unimportant surprise as to what these 3 songs are as you scroll down the list...
Patrick | December 8, 2012 3:11 AM
I have to say I look forward to this little feature of yours more than I do those of most professional music writers. I would concur with quite a lot of it, although count me as utterly disappointed all of these One Direction pictures couldn't land the boys a single slot on the list.

Some considered Tuesday cold and others considered it incredibly frigid.
"[The temperature] was a slap in the face," said Todd Efsits. "I was wondering why I was going out to get groceries when I could've stayed at home."
Efsit's description of the cold weather is very similar to how many people in Michiana felt when they stepped outside for the first time Tuesday.
After a pretty mild winter, most people say they were not completely ready for the frozen temperatures.
"Its just all of a sudden it hit us it seems like," said Angelina Whalen. "We've had it easy and the roads have been fine and now, this morning, I drove my son to work and the roads were horrible."
Some people enjoyed the weather Tuesday though, because for many students, it meant school cancellations and delays. The latest closings and delays can be found here: FOX 28 Closings & Delays.
"I'm really happy. I went back to sleep after I found out," said Donielle Roberts, an Elkhart student. "It's fun not to go to school."
For some less fortunate people in Michiana though, the cold temps meant finding a better means to survive. The South Bend Center for the Homeless usually has about 12 people stay the night during its winter amnesty program. Monday and Tuesday night the shelter had 20 guests.
"What we offer is a warm, safe environment, a meal, a hot shower," said Taya Groover, Chief Development Officer for the Center for the Homeless. "We don't want to lose anyone in our community due to the weather."
The fact is frigid winters are a reality in Michiana. Whether they are working in it, driving in it, or just trying to avoid it all together, people who have lived here for a long time have pretty much the same advice on how to make it through the cold.
"Make a fire, get lots of coffee and tea, and stay inside," said Efsits.
"Staying in [your house] and not going out in it as much as possible," said Whalen.
When it gets cold like it was Monday and Tuesday, it is always best to have a kit in your car ready to go. In case you get stranded make sure you have a blanket, some water, something to snack on, a first aid kit, a flash light, and you should also consider having a collapsible shovel.

February is unexpectedly interesting for blooms on the High Line. This month features three plants: witch hazel (Hamamelis x intermedia 'Pallida'), Dawn bodnant viburnum (Viburnum x bodnantense 'Dawn'), and sweet box (Sarcococca hookeriana).
The rose-colored buds in the picture above are the beginnings of blooms on a Dawn bodnant viburnum, a shrub that flowers during the bleakest part of the winter. Its clusters of flowers have an excellent fragrance in late winter/early spring.
This afternoon, our crews are finishing waterproofing work on the southernmost part of the High Line's Section 2, near 20th Street. Waterproofing the top layer of screed concrete will prevent standing rainwater and damage to the structural steel and concrete. It will also prevent swamp-like conditions in the planting beds after a heavy rain, which can lead to mold and rot.
We're pleased to bring you news of another major milestone towards the full preservation of the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards. The Department of City Planning announced today that it has certified the City's application for approval of future acquisition of the High Line above 30th Street.
Read the full Press Release [PDF]
This certification kicks off the seven-month Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), during which there will be several opportunities for public input. Along the way, we hope you will come out and show your support for the High Line's preservation, as you have so many times before. We will push for the City to take ownership of the High Line and ensure that its future is determined by the public.
Though today's announcement does not guarantee preservation of the High Line, the City's move toward High Line acquisition is a major positive step towards achieving our ultimate goals: full preservation of the historic structure north of 30th Street, including the 10th Avenue Spur, and completion of the High Line project all the way to 34th Street.
Feeling under the weather? According to High Line gardener Kyla Dippong, the park is a "veritable pharmacy." Many of Section 1's 210 species of plants offer simple remedies, quite a few of which were used by Native Americans long before the advent of the pharmacy as we know it today.
As you continue to battle the cold and flu season, here are a few of our favorite medicinal plants to keep in mind, most of which can be found easily in your local drugstore or herbal remedy shop (but NOT by picking them off the High Line).
This weekend, the New York Times ran a profile of international architectural photographer Iwan Baan. Iwan took a beautiful series of High Line photos in our first season, and we agree that there's something groundbreaking about his style. Fred Bernstein of the Times writes:
Mr. Baan sees buildings as backdrops for his photographs of people, he said during a recent visit to New York. Looking at a picture of the new Cooper Union building in the East Village, designed by Mr. Mayne, Mr. Baan said, "It's about the woman shuffling down the street." His work owes as much to Diane Arbus and Henri Cartier-Bresson as to Julius Shulman or Ezra Stoller, the pre-eminent architectural photographers of the late 20th century.
The staff of Friends of the High Line was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Clare Weiss, the Parks Department's Curator of Public Art, on January 11, 2010. During her tenure at Parks from 2005 to 2009, Clare helped organize 128 outdoor public art exhibitions, as well as 36 exhibits at the Arsenal Gallery in Central Park. She was a charter member of the High Line's Public Art Advisory Committee, which selected the High Line's first public art installation - Spencer Finch's The River That Flows Both Ways. Clare worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this city cultura
Section 2 construction is on a roll!
If you visit the park and peer through the chain-link fence at 20th Street, you'll notice some work happening on the surface of the High Line in the blocks to the north. The construction team has installed wire mesh above the lower (structural) concrete surface. The mesh provides bonding, flexibility, and additional strength to a 2" - 3" layer of "screed concrete" on the deck. This screed concrete will then be waterproofed, and the landscape installed on top.
The latest on the High Line's next section: the construction team recently removed FOURTEEN TONS of steel up at 30th Street to make way for the future stairs and elevator.
When Section 2 opens, 30th Street will be the northernmost access point on the High Line, at least until the Rail Yards section is built. The entrance is located right at "the curve", where the High Line begins its iconic sweep westward towards the Hudson River.
Like the stairs at Gansevoort Street and 14th Street, the 30th Street stairs will cut through the structure, bringing visitors face-to-face with the High Line's steel beams and rivets. Click through for a rendering.

PHOENIX (AP) - A federal judge presiding over a racial profiling case against the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has ordered the agency's deputy chief to attend Thursday's status conference.
U.S. District Judge Murray Snow says Deputy Chief David Trombi made errors in his statements to Phoenix community members at a March 15 meeting.
Snow wrote in his order Friday that the court may ask Trombi some questions under oath pertaining to the meeting.
The sheriff's office already has given the court a video recording of that meeting, as requested by Snow.
Ten months ago, Snow concluded Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office systematically racially profiled Latinos in its immigration and regular traffic patrols and unreasonably prolonged the detentions of people during traffic stops.
Arpaio has vigorously denied the racial profiling allegations and appealed the ruling.
