A day in the life...
While the bombs started raining down on Gaza, we had just returned from another house demolition. They are a family of 7; 5 children, the youngest who is 2. The mother is pregnant with her 6th child and now they are homeless.
Praying for justice and peace in Azzun
Disturbing reports of arrests of Palestinian civilians and vandalism of their homes at the hands of Israeli forces are not a new phenomenon in the West Bank.
Breaking the Silence
Avner is a slight, quietly spoken young man in short-sleeved blue T-shirt and jeans, his pale skin protected from the sun by a straw hat. Hard to imagine that just 5 years ago he was a paratrooper.
Special Report: Palestinian Villages in the Firing Zone
The 30,000 stony dunams of Massafer Yatta in the South Hebron Hills are starkly beautiful. They are also, apparently ideal training terrain for the Israeli army, particularly in the event of another war with Lebanon.
Not in my name, not for my security: Sderot resident

Paying the price...for what?
There's a phrase that gets sprayed on mosques, schools and homes following acts of violence and vandalism against Palestinians: "Price tag."
First time at the beach
Just a few miles from the sea, live children who have never seen it, never swum in its water, never built sand castles. All activities which we, in the UK, would regard as 'normal'.
Giving a face and a name to Holocaust victims
The orientation visit to Jerusalem's Holocaust Museum makes a strong impression on Group 44.
Another Friday, another protest in Kafr Qaddum
For the Abu Ihab family, Friday wasn't too bad. Admittedly there were Israeli soldiers on their roof firing tear gas... But Isra'a, the youngest daughter, said they weren't really afraid today.
Women's chatter and tear gas in Kafr Qaddum

One person was treated at the scene but refused further medical attention.
Firefighters said several people were also ordered to leave the French restaurant Le Barnardin.Crews from utility Consolidated Edison responded to the scene.Officials are looking into the possibility that whether rock salt used to melt snow washed into the manhole causing wires to erode and sparking the fire.

'Why is the institution of marriage being changed without the public being asked' (From Stroud News and Journal)

'Why is the institution of marriage being changed without the public being asked'
Updated 3:04pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News
Christian Comment with the Rev Stephen Earley, vicar of Nailsworth with Shortwood, Horsley and Newington Bagpath with Kingscote.
THIS week the Government has introduced a bill that seeks to redefine marriage.
I will have been married 40 years this year and I officiate regularly at weddings but no one has sought my opinion.
Is it right that this institution, which is the basis of our modern society is changed without the people of this country being asked if they agree?
'To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,' are some of the powerful and emotive vows one person makes to another during a Church wedding.
They are powerful promises for one person to make to another - and are for life - 'till death us do part.' When a couple say these vows to each other, they are spoken with the utmost sincerity and often accompanied with tears of emotion - both by the couple and their loved ones who are gathered to witness this very special ceremony.
As a vicar in the Church of England I officiated at 22 weddings last year and have already had two this year with some 15 more to come - so I speak from marrying hundreds of couples.
It is reported that marriage is not so popular - but this is not my experience.
I would encourage everyone to be married in church - I will often say in my address that there is no better place to marry than in church - hotels, beaches, hot air balloons (?) are not the same and the importance of the occasion in two peoples lives is diminished - a frivolous occasion this is not.
The vows made in the presence of witnesses and before God are powerful.
One of my favourite 'thank you' comments was 'the church ceremony was the most special part of the whole occasion.
As wonderful as our reception was, our memories of the service are the ones we will cherish most'.
Is it not time that the silent majority started voicing their opinion - loudly - before it is too late?

Why would they? Do they ask people's opinions on every issue of which the laws they enact will affect? Of course not. You live in a constitutional monarchy where you vote for representatives to make laws on your behalf.
And, in fairness, if they asked us all, you would still be complaining -- because most people in Britain support gay marriage.

According to various MPs, my failure to procreate and my current lack on an intention to procreate means it isn't a real marriage, and according to Rev Earley, my lack of a christian marriage ceremony means it isn't a real marriage. But according to the bureaucrats who took money off me for the honour of getting married, it is.
Rev Earley, you do realise that in the UK there exists a legal civil marriage ceremony, which is not just secular, but from which all things christian / religious are actively banned? It's not just a marriage that doesn't need god, but a marriage where god is not allowed. Why should heterosexuals be allowed a legal marriage ceremony completely divorced from religion, but homosexuals be denied it on the basis that marriage is a religious institution?
I'd really like to hear your answer - but I doubt I will.

jacktheripperlondon says...
but that doesn't mean you are homophobic, as is claimed.
I am not happy with homosexuals and lesbiens getting married, but that is my opinion ,and one I hold dearly.
I was alarmed by the no of homosexuals that are in parliament and running the country,how long before one is prime minister. will they have a first lady ? ughhhhh

If a person is truly religous and complies to the rules of their religion, then they can use the fascilities their church provides.
It isn't a churches responsibility to change their rules to accomodate all who wish to follow, their view may not be modern, may not be fashionable and may be considered wrong by the majority, but this is for the church leaders to decide if the teachings that have been handed down have room for change, and if not, then that is the rules of that organisation.
I believe in gay marriage, I am however straight and I would not expect my local church to allow me to get married with them if my partner and I were both devote muslims, as that would go against the christian teachings. If asked for the ceremony to be performed in any way to promote an act or way of life that was contradictory to their teachings, I wouldn't expect them to accept my booking. I would however try to find someone sympathetic to my requirements.
I understand that the churches view may be considered homophobic, but it is not something new, they are not the landlord of the local pub who happily watches the girls kissing but then chucks out the men for doing the same, they are not changing the rules to suit current trends, it is in their teachings that if you are religious enough to follow and believe in, you wouldn't be asking them to marry you to your same sex partner.

As an aside, if you knew the man in question you would understand that there are few people out there who have earned the right to express their opinion as much as him after spending the better part of his life helping others.
Perhaps do your homework before you cast judgement on someone who has done more for his community than most would ever contemplate while reading The Guardian on Sunday sipping their Skinny Soy Latté complaining about how awful the world is but never actually doing anything about it.

You could take this issue up with the editor, but unfortunately she has no interest in articles she has printed (even if the less than 24 hours old).
To quote Sue Smith (editor of the Stroud News & Journal) "As they say, its old news now and I am currently putting together next week's paper."

The movie "Oz--the Great and Powerful" is now in theatres--and has many people choosing to see it in 2-D, or 3-D.
A fan of the franchise--has already seen it both ways.
But when it comes to celebrating the Wizard of Oz-- overall.
Amber Schatz shows you why for this one super fan--There's no place like home.
"I will admit that I am very obsessed with the Wizard of Oz, it's something where I want more, you can go to those AA meetings or whatever they have, and just make a Wizard-of-Oz-aholics that would be me." says Justin Ell/Super Fan.
Being Oz-sessed--as I like to call it-- started at an early age.
Justin Ell was just three years old when he got the first piece of his now Wonderful Wizard of Oz collection.
When the Wizard of Oz celebrated its 50th anniversary-- He got a whirlwind of pieces.
He was only in kindergarten.
Now that he makes his own money, he can buy more things online and through his facebook group.
"This was a graduation gift to myself, the most expensive piece in my collection." says Ell.
He has around two thousand pieces, that he's spent around $15, 000 on, but the collection is likely worth much more.
"It's probably worth--I've got some pieces that are very limited, to put a value on them is very, 50,000, I could probably buy a brand new house with this collection, but I would never sell it!" says Ell.
"I've got pieces from my grandparents that they bought--I could never sell them." says Ell.
His newest pieces are from the new movie "Oz the Great and Powerful".
Speaking of the Witch, she's his favorite character.
It's almost more entertaining watching Justin watch the Wizard of Oz-- It's certainly as animated!
If you want to know trivia about the movie--He's your man.
He's seen the movie around a thousand times.
Along with knowing the dialogue--Justin has made his love for the movie permanent.
He has four Oz-related tattoos, and has gained enough Oz-some stuff to last a lifetime.
"A lot of new friends, through facebook, searching online, just a nice chat, nice friends, and makes my room look full." says Ell.
"Now with the 75th anniversary coming up,it's going to be 10 times worse!"
Next year is the 75th anniversary--and Justin is eagerly awaiting the Wizard of Oz in 3-D.
Justin says another passion of his is the Medora musical.
He has auditioned several times.
If he could ask the Wizard for anything--It would be to make him a Burning Hills singer.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Entertain Me
I have a new assignment at work that's going to take a very long time and some intense concentration (and hi, I'm ADD head, have you met me?), so I need to stick my new SkullCandy headphones in and listen to music and zone out of the world of my cubicle and get into research mode. The only problem is that, while i have over 8,000 songs on my iTunes, I'm sick of all of them and instead of zoning out, I spend all my time skipping songs I'm no longer interested in hearing.
All that leads me to my post title. I NEED NEW MUSIC! So I'm begging you to recommend your favorite obscure song, new artist, ANYTHING. I so badly need new music. HELP!
(And let's not let this be like last time when I asked for links and only two of you sent help. I know you guys have it in you!)
Ready? GO!

I really like Vampire Weekend. Though it is the worst band name probably ever.
- February 20, 2008 at 1:51:00 PM MST
We can provide, but you will not be satisfied! Soon you'll be skipping these songs as well. And then you'll be back begging for more. When will it end, Kate? When?
Kind of makes me think of Billy Idol: "In the midnight hour, she cried 'more, more, more!'" Just don't Rebel Yell in your cubicle. But if you do, especially don't add "MORE! MORE! MORE!" afterward. It could create a weird environment. But increase your popularity as well. So...

Hi. I can't be of any help. Unless you want the latest CD from Fisher Price. Yeah... we have all of those. Or perhaps you'd like to know what I'm teaching as primary chorister these days? No? Hmmmm... sorry. That's all I got. Though Nathan has suddenly gotten really into Linkin Park lately. My little hard-core Nathy bear. hahaha. Oh! And Maddie can't get enough of that Enrique Iglesias song from that one episode of ANTM. But none of this is going to be new to you. Sorry. I feel like a big fat failure.

It's really hard because I don't know what kind of music you like. Right now I'm listening to Johnathan Clay, Back to Good. I love Mae, especially the Destination: Beautiful album. Lifehouse's new CD Who We Are is fabulous. Just Off Turner you've probably never heard and they rock. OneRepublic's CD Dreaming Out Loud is amazing. Boys Like Girls is great too. If you like old-school butt-rock, none of that is going to be helpful. :)

Just look how helpful you all are already! (except Bry and Brill. We'll talk later.)
B2G that stuff is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I love OneRepublic and Boys Like Girls so I'm heading to check out that other stuff. And Julybug, I've heard good things about Vampire Weekend just haven't taken the time to check them out. Doing so NOW.

I am so incredibly not a music person, but it's really funny you posted this today because I just wrote a whole recommendation for a singer I found recently and LOVE! Her name is Edwina Hayes and she's an acoustic musician from the UK. You can look her up on MySpace and listen to some of her stuff for free to see if it's your style :) I'm also a big fan of Rachel Yamagata and Madeleine Peyroux.

I don't know what kind of music you like or what you already have, but Vampire Weekend is good stuff, as previously mentioned. I also really like Tristan Prettyman, who isn't all that new, but good to listen to if you're trying to chill. Mother Hips are also very good. I more of a classic rock kinda girl (Zeppelin is my favorite), so you may like Wolfmother if you're into that. Neko Case from the New Pornographers is good if you're going for a more 'grassy' sound. I absolutely love Stars and Eric Huchinson and the Traveling Wilburys and Explosions in the Sky. But if you're more in the mood for something metal or video game soundtrack-ish, sadly enough, I'm your go to girl ;) Any other suggestions, feel free to ask!
And I'm like this all of the time. Good luck!

I am incredibly lame in the music department lately - I put on the sirius radio on the super shuffle channel and spend most of the day content in the knowledge that there is music on in the background.
Until recently. And now that there is snow burying my sirius antenna, I have to listen the local country station, which would be a much greater hardship if I disliked country. But I don't mind it, and they play rock as well, so I'm not complaining.
My recommendation: Arrogant Worms. They're a Canadian group. Love them.

Indeed yes, Vampire Weekend is great! Also, do you like The Shins? Not sure they're you're speed, but give them a listen. Also, a band called Doves has peaked my interest, along with Cocteau Twins. I know you pretty much like everything, but I won't be hurt if you're not a fan!

fiona apple
frou frou / imogen heap
iron & wine
madeleine peyroux
pete yorn
rogue wave
simon & garfunkel
snow patrol
sufjan stevens

all of this is great "get in the zone" music. hope this helps! :)

Okay, I agree with all of Janaya's list. Recently, I love Wilco, Mason Jennings, Josh Ritter (especially him!), The Bird and The Bee, Imogen Heap, Spoon, and The New Pornographers (dirty name, amazing group).
A must-listen is Joshua Radin.

First, the disclaimer: I don't know if any of these are considered obscure or not (since I'm a little cut off from the world), and don't hate me if they're dumb suggestions. :)
-- Blue Man Group (I particularly like "Drumbone," "The Current," and "I Feel Love")
-- Assemblage 23 (Their best album is "Failure," which sometimes shows up under Tom Shear as the artist, rather than Assemblage 23)
-- Vnv Nation
-- The Union Underground
-- +44
-- Poe

My latest are the new Josh Grobin and Annie Lennox albums. It is sad just how mainstream I have become in my old age. And in Europe we have Robbie Williams who has not made it big in the US but that's more because he doesn't want to. Talk about some great dance music!

i have to ditto a fine frenzy, boys like girls, and ingrid michaelson. i'd add plain white ts to that too. i have a feeling that you might also like alice smith's "dream."
definitely a swoon-worthy song is the perishers' "sway".
maybe give these a go as well?
aly & aj (i know, i know)--potential breakup song
hellogoodbye--oh, it is love
camera obscura--lloyd, i'm ready to be heartbroken
class of 98--christy's wedding
cute is what we aim for--curse of curves
jose gonzalez--crosses
the last goodnight--pictures of you
matt nathanson--car crash
graham colton--best days
woodale--here (SO good!)

OK, so a little late than never. My absolute new favorite is "Scissors for Lefty". I've been following them for almost a year now and already have seen them in concert 5 times. Super fun indie rock from San Francisco.

If you are trying to change the list skin,
If you are trying to change the height or font color of a list item,
If you are trying to display text mixing with images, even animate GIF,
If you are trying to display input fields just in the view,
you will find it's very difficult or even impossible to work it out with default components.
I think 'draw yourselft' is probably the only answer of these questions, and of many other question on this board.
The UI design nowadays is getting complicated and rich, especially after the launch of 5th Ed. The traditional Eikon and Avkon framework can not fully meet the needs. The new widget technology is cool, however, it has some restrictions. If you want to build UI just like how widget do, and keep the advantage of using native SDK, have a look on this open source project.
This open source project provide a CCoeControl derived class which allows Symbian C++ developers to build custom UI or to render simple web page by using HTML and CSS. By using it, you can build complex UI easily even without any knowledge of Symbian drawing APIs. Now you can focus on UI design, without being limited by technology. Any type of UI we are able to build!
Supported SDKs
S60 2nd Edition
S60 3rd Edition
S60 5th Edition
Derived from CCoeControl, so it is easy to use in any type of Symbian application.
Support commonly used HTML tags and CSS grammar.
Provide methods to access all elements in the HTML document, and also change their content or style in runtime. (Just like what DHTML can do).
Support a wide range of image types, including animated gif.
Support system skin.
Support create standard UI layout, e.g. List, Grid, fully customized.
Support both key event and pointer event.
Support scrolling, with system scrollbar or custom scrollbar.
Support form elements.
Support transitions.

Kawneer's New Trifab® 601 Series Framing System With 6-Inch Depth Delivers Design Flexibility and Three Levels of Thermal Performance
16 May, 2012
NORCROSS, GA – Kawneer Company, Inc., an Alcoa business and the leading manufacturer of architectural aluminum building products and systems for commercial construction, announces its new Trifab® 601 Series Framing System. An enhancement to the company's Trifab® platform, the Trifab® 601 Series Framing System combines a 6-inch depth with superior thermal performance to deliver flexible options for a wide range of building applications. The new framing system will be featured in Kawneer's booth (#1429) during the AIA National Convention and Design Exposition in Washington, D.C., May 17- 19.
The Trifab® 601 Series Framing System leverages Kawneer's exclusive dual IsoLock® lanced pour and debridge technology to provide three levels of thermal performance: the non-thermal Trifab® 601, the single thermal break Trifab® 601T and the dual thermal break 601UT (Ultra Thermal). As one of the only products on the market to combine superior thermal performance, with a larger, more versatile span, the new series allows Kawneer to bridge the gap between traditional framing systems and low-rise curtain walls. Additionally, advanced, thermally broken storefront systems allow building owners to take advantage of tax credit incentive programs and energy efficient certifications, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®*).
The system was designed with cost and flexibility in mind. The Trifab® 601 Series Framing System allows for the use of current 4 ½ inch-deep horizontal members from center set Trifab® framing systems. The system can be glazed from either inside or outside to meet specific project requirements. The Trifab® 601 Series Framing System also uses Kawneer's HP (High Performance) sill design. The sill attaches to the flashing by way of a raceway and eliminates the complicated blind seal method used on many flashing systems. The HP sill also includes a screw-applied end-dam, which ensures positive and tight joints between the sill flashing and end-dam.
The Trifab® 601 Series' 6-inch depth accommodates higher spans than conventional 4 ½ inch storefront framing systems, allowing for increased height and width. With a 2-inch x 6-inch frame profile, the system's sightline is consistent with current systems and provides needed structural strength. Its optional 2 ¼-inch x 6-inch vertical mullion allows for internal steel reinforcement for projects with greater structural performance requirements.
For more information on the new Trifab® 601 Series Framing System, or to learn more about Kawneer's Trifab® platform, please visit www.kawneer.com.

Penn State linebacker Sean Lee, who went to Upper St. Clair High School, appeared to be the player the Steelers were targeting in the second round after selecting Florida center Maurkice Pouncey with the 18th overall pick. They had a first-round grade on Lee and thought he fit the way they played better than any linebacker in the draft.
But, the Steelers did not think Lee would be available when it came their turn.
When he was, it seemed like an obvious choice. But coach Mike Tomlin really liked Worilds, an undersized defensive end in college who fit nicely as a disruptive outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense -- something the Steelers were lacking behind James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley.
...because Dulac has never been wrong about what decisions the Steelers have made/will make behind closed doors...
I hope this kid ends up being everything you guys seem to think he is. Whether I wanted him before or not, he's a Steeler now, so I'm pulling for him to be a killer!!!
They also had a first round grade on worldis IIRC.
begs the question.. Who the fark is giving out these grades
Possibly. I'm not sure
I had Jones in my mock... production on the field, he's a playmaker. Strips the ball a lot, which hasn't been mentioned much. The biggest thing i worry about is "run support". As a pass rusher, he'll be fine. At times, he seemed to struggle with getting off blocks on the "direct/off-tackle" play. Fast-pursuit ILBs better rock!!

NBC's Today Leaves Out Liberal Label for Huffington Post in AOL Buyout Coverage
While both CBS's Early Show and ABC's Good Morning America identified The Huffington Post as a liberal blog when discussing AOL purchasing the web site for $315 million, on NBC's Today, news reader Ann Curry simply described it as an "online news site" co-founded by "pundit" Arianna Huffington.
On Good Morning America, news reader JuJu Chang referred to The Huffington Post as a "top-ten news site" but accurately described it as being "co-founded by liberal commentator Arianna Huffington." The Early Show's Jeff Glor did not label the blog a news site at all and was the most direct in pointing out its ideological slant: "Huffington Post, a left-leaning site, was founded in 2005."
None of the network morning shows devoted more than one or two news briefs to the media deal and none suggested anything controversial about a left-wing activist like Arianna Huffington being put in charge of all AOL News content.
As NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell observed in a statement released on Monday: "AOL News is fooling only itself in thinking there is no journalistic conflict in merging with a hate-filled, vicious, radically left-wing rag."
Here is a full transcript of the two Today news briefs on the merger:
ANN CURRY: Also in the news this morning, AOL has announced that it will buy the online news site The Huffington Post for $315 million. It is the struggling internet giant's latest foray into the online news business. AOL already owns Patch Media a network of 500 hyper local community news sites. Well, The Huffington Post was co-founded in 2005 by pundit Arianna Huffington and former AOL executive vice president Ken Learer.
CURRY: AOL has announced that it will buy the online news site The Huffington Post for $315 million. The deal puts Arianna Huffington in charge of AOL content and reportedly allows The Huffington Post to expand internationally. AOL gains a site that attracts 25 million visitors monthly, that is if the deal wins regulatory approval.
Here is a full transcript of the Good Morning America report:
JUJU CHANG: A big merger, realigning the online world this morning to tell you about. AOL is buying the Huffington Post. The top-ten news site, co-founded by liberal commentator Arianna Huffington, launched in 2005 with a $1 million investment. Now AOL is buying it for $315 million to expand its original news content.
Here is a full transcript of the Early Show coverage:
JEFF GLOR: It's a big deal in the media world, just announced. AOL is buying the website The Huffington Post in a $315 million deal. Under the terms, Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington will join the AOL management team and be in charge of all AOL content. Huffington Post, a left-leaning site, was founded in 2005 and now attracts 25 million visitors a month.

Well, let's hope that AOL has

Well, let's hope that AOL has the same crapifier touch to huff and puff it lent to Time Warner when the two companies merged in what has been called the worst merger in history.
The sad thing is that so many lost a bundle after Time Warner bought AOL for $10 billion at the height of the dot bomb era. It has taken years for Time Warner to get rid of AOL and get back its reputation and profitability.
The amazing thing about AOL is that millions of people still subscribe to it and think that going to it is going to the Internet?
By the way, huff and puff''s main claim to fame isn't far liberal blather, but taking a competitor's story and rewriting it. Then, putting a Seach Engine Optimized or SEO title on it and putting it up on her web site. This is done not so much that humans will read them, but that search engines will move the story as close to the top of the search engine page as possible. Thus, ensuring lots of eyeballs and lots of revenue abound. This is something that huff and puff freely admits to and has stated that she is doing to "help" her competitors. Back in the day, it was called plagarizing . . . .

So what do you get when you purchase a Hufpo? I would assume it would be a few servers, a geek or 2 to maintain them, and a small staff of hack writers? Did a company Beechcraft and a 300 million dollar building come with it?

Everton FC fan group Trust Everton launches plan to buy club's £15m Finch Farm training ground
Thought that this was interesting. Fans seem to have had enough of the bad business done by the club and are trying to take some things into their own hands. Keeping Finch Farm close to us would be extremely beneficial, but I think has a very low probability of actually working.

Fellowships and Positions – Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship
This fellowship program is a joint collaboration between CCR's Pediatric Oncology Branch and the Johns Hopkins University (JHU). The fellowship programs at these two institutions were merged in July of 2000. This has resulted in combined clinical training during the first year of fellowship at both Johns Hopkins and the National Cancer Institute, with an unparalleled exposure to clinical issues in pediatric hematology/oncology. Patients seen at both institutions are largely non-overlapping, giving trainees a unique exposure to the gamut of pediatric hematology/oncology diagnoses and management strategies. Fellowship trainees have access to the wide range of basic science and translational research opportunities available at both campuses during the subsequent years of fellowship. In addition, select fellows may continue to pursue clinical research training with the expectation of receiving an advanced degree (PhD) at the JHU School of Public Health.

The Measurement of Fuel-Air Ratio by Analysis for the Oxidized Exhaust Gas
Date: January 1, 1943
Creator: Gerrish, Harold C. & Meem, J. Lawrence, Jr.
Description: An investigation was made to determine a method of measuring fuel-air ratio that could be used for test purposes in flight and for checking conventional equipment in the laboratory. Two single-cylinder test engines equipped with typical commercial engine cylinders were used. The fuel-air ratio of the mixture delivered to the engines was determined by direct measurement of the quantity of air and of fuel supplied and also by analysis of the oxidized exhaust gas and of the normal exhaust gas. Five fuels were used: gasoline that complied with Army-Navy fuel Specification No. AN-VV-F-781 and four mixtures of this gasoline with toluene, benzene, and xylene. The method of determining the fuel-air ratio described in this report involves the measurement of the carbon-dioxide content of the oxidized exhaust gas and the use of graphs for the presented equation. This method is considered useful in aircraft, in the field, or in the laboratory for a range of fuel-air ratios from 0.047 to 0.124.

Creator: Schey, Oscar W & Biermann, Arnold E
Description: This report presents the results of tests conducted to determine the effect of different amounts and kinds of cowling on the performance and cylinder temperatures of a standard Wright J-5 engine. These tests were conducted in conjunction with drag and propeller tests in which the same cowlings were used. Four different cowlings were investigated varying from the one extreme of no cowling on the engine to the other extreme of the engine completely cowled and the cooling air flowing inside the cowling through an opening in the nose and out through an annular opening at the rear of the engine. Each cowling was tested at air speeds of approximately 60, 80, and 100 miles per hour.

Lifting-surface-theory aspect-ratio corrections to the lift and hinge-moment parameters for full-span elevators on horizontal tail surfaces
Date: January 1, 1948
Creator: Crandall, Stewart M & Swanson, Robert S
Description: A limited number of lifting-surface-theory solutions for wings with chordwise loadings resulting from angle of attack, parabolic-ac camber, and flap deflection are now available. These solutions were studied with the purpose of determining methods of extrapolating the results in such a way that they could be used to determine lifting-surface-theory values of the aspect-ratio corrections to the lift and hinge-moment parameters for both angle-of-attack and flap-deflection-type loading that could be used to predict the characteristics of horizontal tail surfaces from section data with sufficient accuracy for engineering purposes. Such a method was devised for horizontal tail surfaces with full-span elevators. In spite of the fact that the theory involved is rather complex, the method is simple to apply and may be applied without any knowledge of lifting-surface theory. A comparison of experimental finite-span and section value and of the estimated values of the lift and hinge-moment parameters for three horizontal tail surfaces was made to provide an experimental verification of the method suggested.

Jeremy Guthrie has thrown over 200 innings in each of the last three seasons. He is the very definition of an innings-eater, a guy who can help a team make the playoffs and be a really good cheerleader once they got there.
The Orioles were never that team. And according to Ken Rosenthal, they did a very Orioles thing by trading Guthrie when they did.
Instead, the Orioles made a deal that is all too typical of them, waiting too long to move Guthrie and receiving too little in return. They need prospects, genuine prospects, and they did not get one in the deal that they completed with the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Rosenthal thinks that the time to trade Guthrie was two or three years ago, when he was cheaper and locked up. He's probably right. But Guthrie submitted an arbitration request for $10.25 million; the Orioles countered with $7.25 million. No matter who wins, Guthrie will be making a lot of money to be an innings-eater.
Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom will combine to make $7.35 million. The Orioles get two roster spots for the price of their bid to Guthrie. This also eliminates the possibility that Guthrie would win the dang case and take up 15 percent of the Orioles' total budget.
Rosenthal may or may not be right that Guthrie could have brought real-live prospects back at some point, but the Orioles still needed to make the trade now. A $10 million Jeremy Guthrie on the Orioles would be like ... a $10 million Jeremy Guthrie on the Orioles. There isn't an analogy that's more apt than the potential reality. So the trade makes sense, and it will save them a little money too. This trade wasn't as Orioles as it could have been.
Edit: Guthrie agreed to a one-year, $8.2 million deal to avoid arbitration with the Rockies. That's still one expensive Jeremy Guthrie.

Bottle poured into a shaker pint glass at Kawa Espresso Bar in Calgary (they have a decent beer list too, domestic and imported, much of it craft). A light coppery orange brew with a rather minimal white head, although what is there persists for quite some time. Aroma is a fine balance of sweet nutty malts and hop resins and spice, most notably featuring some mild citrus rind and tropical notes. Palate is similarly balanced, with considerable malt character accompanied by dry, citric, almost green hop flavors. Plenty of Cascade character along with another almost English vibe: Grapefruit, lemon marmalade, black tea, flower shop, and faint pine are all revealing themselves but nothing is getting too aggressive. The malts start as light caramel and toast, with a more nutty note showing up later. Crisp and refreshing, with a thin to moderate body and fairly assertive carbonation. Finishes citric, with a little white pepper. I concur that this is probably one of the best western Canadian American pale ales, superbly balanced and assertively hopped if a tad on the dry side. Nothing pops out in a violent fashion but there is still plenty of flavor, malts and hops in close synchrony.

L - lighter amber color, thinner ivory head fizzles rather quickly leaving a little lacing on the glass

F - creamy medium feel, finishes bitter, but not overly
O - solid APA. I like it's balanced flavors. Really enjoyable!

Surprisingly, despite being an Edmontonian this is the first review I am doing of one of Alley Kat's main line of beers. I've had all before and all are fantastic, but they certainly warrant a real review.
This beer comes from Alley Kat's new variety pack, which boasts a pleasant selection of five beers (their 4 main beers and their current seasonal). I didn't really care much for this beer when I first began drinking craft beer (I thought it was too strongly flavoured), but times have changed for sure. This is, bar none, one of the best pale ales I've ever had. I'm not even being a homer here - this beer puts Granville's and Okanagan Spring's pale ales to shame. While their brews are very good, this one is so much deeply flavoured with a much easier drinkability I feel.
The beer has a great dark bronze colour with a generous 3-finger head. The main aromas I'm picking up are citrus (something I notice a lot with these cascade hops). I'm also picking up what I can only describe as a carrot aroma. It's really pleasant to say the least- and ever changing.
The taste is super - exactly what you want from craft beer. It's sweet at first with the same citrus burst I desrcribed earlier, but there is a big hit of bitterness at the end of the sip. It's a little sweet and a little bitter - perfectly balanced beer. The carbonation is not excessive and certainly noticeable.
Fantastic beer overall, and likely the best of Alley Kat's mainstream beers. It's rich in flavour but has a pleasant drinkability.

A long time want, thanks wordemupg!
Appearance. Pours a clear orange-gold with a finger of cream coloured head that leaves thin bands of lace.
Smell. Toasted griany malts, piney and floral hops with some dry citrus and a little tropical fruit.
Taste. Sweet citrus fruits, pine and floral hops with some dry toasty grain and a little tropical fruit.
Mouthfeel. Medium body, maybe on the low side with smooth medium carbonation.
Overall. Very flavourful pale that I could drink many of.

Alley Kat Full Moon has a classic clear, golden-amber complexion. For a pale ale it looks perfectly the part, although it could use a little more foam atop, especially if it is to call itself 'Full Moon'. Though far from flat, this lacks anything you could confidently, fairly call a 'head'.
Candied citrus peel, flower petals, and grass clippings combine with ultra-bready malt to make for a bouquet that is resonant and expressive. It's a slightly smaller size than those pale ales made south of the border, but it delivers all the requisite qualities. The malts smell like cookie-dough and upgrade the aroma to 'heavenly'.
Full Moon is not rich or explosive, but it is delicious. It has a palpable feel of citrus that makes you just want to drink it, if for no other reason that the grapefruit, papaya and lemon flavours are just too irresistible. The aftertaste, especially, is flower-infused and keeps the leafy hop impression running long into the finish.
The ale shows a bit of muscle without abandoning the style's mild, medium-bodied structure. In particular, I admire the way the acidic, citrusy hop notes blend with the sweet, cookie-dough malt on the finish. The beer is impeccably well balanced and has a textural depth that isn't always found in this style.
Well-hopped pale ales are the thoroughbreds of session drinking and given all the choices in the world Alley Kat Full Moon would be among my top picks for a night of long, easy consumption. It is a wonderfully complete ale with a stunning style that features layers of sweet malt and bitter hops. Without doubt one of Canada's best.

Pours a nice one finger head that disappears quickly, leaving behind some bubbles and lacing. The body has a nice dark golden color. Few bubbles streaming up to the top.
Smells citrusy and piney, with very slight hints of tropical fruits. A bit of caramel and malt.
Bit of a fruity and piney taste on the mouth, and leaves some dry earthy notes behind. Bitterness balances quite nicely with the malt, none are overpowering the other. Slight notes of bread on the tongue.
Decent thickness to it, slightly chewy and still easy to drink. Quite a bit of carbonation tickling the tongue.
A nice Pale Ale by Alley Kat.

My child absolutely adores doing arts and crafts at a table that is just her size. Not only does she wants to do art at her own little table but she wants to read, eat, and practically sleep there too. Children size tables and desks are the way to go! -From mom to mom

If back-to-school shopping is on your to-do list, we can surely sympathize.
It's tough to find everything on those class lists, let alone concentrate when your children are whining about how bored they are.
We bumped into Dan and Liz Edelman of Forks Township, who have found a way to keep their boys Jack, 7, and Logan, 4, quite content on their shopping excursions. And it doesn't cost them a nickel.
We met them at Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley, which has a free splash park to keep kids occupied during warm weather. Dan and Liz were relaxing in the shade while Jack and Logan tired themselves out with about 15 other children in the spraying water. It's kind of like a mini Dorney Park without the expense.
"We like it a lot," Liz said. "We came to pick up some things and figured let the kids cool off while we're here."
Dan added, "The kids really enjoy this while we get a little shopping done."
Everyone wins.
Consider the alternative. You're dragging your whining kids through the mall and you don't want to scream at the top of your lungs so you resort to bribing them with a trip to the dollar store or an ice cream. No such negotiations needed when you've got a splash park to offer. Tell the kids to put on their trunks, grab some towels and watch them run off to the car.
If you don't believe us, you can see Jack and Logan and other children having a blast at the park in a video we made at http://www.mcall.com/onthecheap. The security guard working on the day we found the Edelmans said it is one of the most popular spots for families at the mall.
We figured we'd better let the guard know what we were up to lest he worry about the strange man with no children lurking around the splash park with a video camera.
We did some number-crunching in the On The Cheap lab and figure that splash park could save a parent of three $60 over five years if it saves you having to bribe kids with ice cream.
If you have any other back-to-school saving ideas, please pass them along.
Now for an On The Cheap puzzle with which we could use some help.
Jeanne Tilghman wrote with the following question after reading Guy Bruno's tip for iced coffee that we shared a few weeks ago. Guy saves what's left in the pot from his morning coffee for an iced coffee later. It saves him some money and allows his wife to enjoy iced coffee as well. She can't have caffeine, and few places sell decaf iced coffee.
"Back in the 1940s, I would see my mother fill a glass with the leftover coffee from the morning breakfast and it would be on the kitchen counter all day," Jeanne said. "As my sister and I would be helping her clean up the kitchen she would tell us not to throw out the glass of leftover coffee. Later in the day she would put ice cubes in the glass and enjoy a glass of iced coffee. Sometimes I do the same thing today, but some of the time I run water through the leftover grounds and rebrew the coffee. Then I save it for the next day's breakfast. Tastes the same as the fresh-brewed coffee and I get another two cups of coffee for the next day. If, on the second day there is coffee left over, then I save it and enjoy iced coffee later on in the day. Whatever coffee grounds are left over, I scatter around our hydrangea bushes in the garden for fertilizer. Now, how do you figure out the savings for all of this?"
We're going to need some time to work on this one, Jeanne, and we hope some readers can help us out.
