Each year, the award for the top winning teams at the National Ocean Sciences Bowl Finals Competition is an experiential trip that provides these teams with unique hands-on field and laboratory experience in the marine sciences. The trips expose students to science professionals and career opportunities, while enriching their understanding and stewardship of the ocean. These trips were made possible through funding from the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society.
The 2014 NOSB national champions from Boise High School (Idaho) were awarded a 6-day trip to Northern New England. The trip started in Portsmouth, NH where the team boarded a boat to Shoals Marine Laboratory on Appledore Island. The students spent two days touring the island, learning about the ecosystem as well as life on the island as an undergraduate or graduate marine science student. The team explored the island's intertidal environment and used transects to collect data on species coverage. They learned about research diving and the projects students at Shoals are conducting. They also got to see the sustainability efforts of the island – solar panels, a wind turbine and composting toilets. After the island visit, the team toured the Chase Ocean Engineering Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire to see and learn about the cutting-edge equipment available to conduct research, including two wave tanks and 3-D mapping software. From there, the team headed to the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center for a day of hands-on work, including multiple cruises on Darling's research vessel to sample and ID benthic invertebrates and zooplankton, tours of the mudflats and the shellfish aquaculture facility, and an introduction to squid research. The trip wrapped up with visits to Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute where researchers introduced students to their work and shared their diverse career paths. The students even got involved in some citizen science and recorded species data for GMRI's Vital Signs program. While in Maine, the students went on an authentic lobster boat tour and a puffin watch cruise to experience some of the marine wildlife of New England. They also got some beach time where they got to express their inner- architects by building sand castles.
The students from Arcadia High School (California) placed second at the 2014 NOSB Finals and were awarded a 5-day educational and experiential trip to Washington D.C., Annapolis, MD and Maryland's Eastern Shore. The students began their trip with behind-the-scenes tours of the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo, viewing the Seals and Sea Lions and Amazonia, and National Museum of Natural History, where they viewed the Sant Ocean Hall, the museum's collection of cowrie shells, and Q?rius, an interactive and experimental learning space for teens. Next, a visit with the education staff at the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation focused on coral reef ecosystems and a participatory activity that simulated coral reef transect surveys. The students were provided actual data to analyze and to ultimately assess the health of two reefs. The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center hosted the students at the Reed Education Center, providing an in-depth tour of its CO2 Lab where scientists have been conducting what is now the longest running field experiment in the world on the effects and implications of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide on marsh plant communities. The students took canoes for a leisurely trip along Muddy Creek where they were joined by three great blue herons. During a visit to the NOAA Environmental Science Training Center at the Cooperative Oxford Lab, the team was challenged with creating two ROVs that would compete in the completion of three tasks in tanks with obstacles. While in Maryland, the students also enjoyed an afternoon on the beach at Sandy Point State Park and a visit to the Chesapeake Maritime Museum.

(which all the while ran blood) great Caesar fell.(By Shakespeare)Then burst his mighty heart;And in his mantle muffling up his face,Even at the base of Pompeys statue
1.What does it mean by the parenthesis?
2.What does "which" refer to?Asking for your help.Thanks!
Blood ran down the statue from Caesar's being stabbed there. (At least, that's how I have always understood it.)
It was Caesar's blood.

Garlic-Cheese Dog Biscuits Recipe
- 1-1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup stick margarine, softened
- 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Dash salt
- 6 to 8 tablespoons milk
- In a bowl, beat the cheese and margarine. Add the flour, garlic and salt; mix well. Add enough milk to form a stiff dough. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a bone-shaped cookie cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Biscuits will harden as they cool. Yield: 1-1/2 to 2 dozen (depending on cookie cutter size).
Reviews for Garlic-Cheese Dog Biscuits
Sort By :
I agree about the garlic. My vet said NO garlic (especially powderd garlic.) Very toxic! Anyway, I substitued Hormel Real Bacon Bits for the garlic. It also seemed like a little too much milk. I didn't add quite as much of the milk. I also just rolled into balls and used a fork to mark the tops like little peanut-butter cookies. The only thing I need to know is about storing them. Refridgerate or not? I'd rather not...but I was wondering because of the cheese, milk, eggs and bacon bits. My dog LOVES these! She kept sniffing around for more, even after she had already eaten two cookies! I will make these again! Please reply about the storage! Thank You!
I make this almost every week for my dog. I substituted garlic cheese roll for the shredded cheddar and garlic cloves. Yummy!
According to the ASPCA, an occasional small amount of garlic, such as that in most commercial pet foods and treats, may not cause a problem, but because of the risk of toxicity, they generally recommend that you avoid feeding your pets products that contain more concentrated amounts of garlic.
To follow this recommendation, we will reduce the range of garlic cloves to 1-2 cloves (instead of 1-4). The change will be updated here soon.
Taste of Home Test Kitchen
I agree that garlic is bad for dogs. Our vet gave us a list of poisonous foods. It says that garlic can cause anemia and even kidney failure. It says it wont cause harm in very small doses, but why risk it?
i've never heard garlic was bad for dogs either, it's supposed to keep parasites away too, it's a GOOD thing. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but plan to soon.

Traders hail markets as the best yet
12:30pm Wednesday 5th December 2012 in News By James Wilson, News Editor
TRADERS at Knutsford's two-day Christmas market hailed the event as the best yet.
Peta Massey, from Siddington, was at the markets with her Glamourous Accessories stall and said this year's market had been much better than 2011.
"It's been a much better opening night and there has been a good atmosphere and a buzz in the air," she said.
"This year has been much better than last and I think that is down to the quality of the stalls and the entertainment outside as well."
For Abi Jessup-Neary, 22, and Lucy Wightwick, 23, it was the first time the pair had sold their work at a market.
The pair, from Knutsford and Hale, first met after working together at the Bull's Head in Mobberley and decided to team up to make crafts, including cards, candles, bags and bunting, which they have been selling at facebook.com/AbiAndLucy.
"We are both very similar and we got talking about it and decided it would be easier to do it together and bounce off each other," Abi said.
Pam Bates and Gail Jackson were manning the Hollies Farm Shop stall, which has bases in Stretton and Tarporley, and admitted their weekend was more about promotion than selling items.
"We're just getting the message across about the Hollies as quite a few Knutsford people have been saying they don't know about us," Pam said.
"It's about getting out and about in the community."
Hamper Heaven owner Phil Cropper travelled from Mawdsley, near Ormskirk to sell his goods and said it was the first time he had been to Knutsford.
"This year we've been doing markets to promote our website, lovehamperheaven.co.uk, and we've been at Manchester as well as the Tatton Park Food Lovers festival," he added.
"We're more at the luxury end of the market and it's quite an affluent area so we are hoping that is good for us."

Boise State's gameplan thus far has been simple: be Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech's has been simple, as well: be Boise State in 2005 against Georgia, when the Broncos spat up the ball early and often in getting behind on the road at Georgia.
First the Hokies tried a variation of the fumblerooski involving the center kicking the ball. This is illegal, of course, and also gives the ball to the other team, but you'll never know that for sure until you try it on the field of play. Boise kicked a field goal, and took a 3-0 lead.
Then, as if on cue, Brent Musburger complimented the special teams of the Broncos. Virginia Tech's ensuing punt met the hand of a rushing punt blocker, the ball was recovered just shy of the Hokies' endzone, and one play-action pass later the Broncos and their NFL Europe castoff unis were up 10-0 on Virginia Tech.
I'd like to stay rational, but I only have one thought right now: AHHHHHHHHHHH.

Consider critical edge-percolation in the induced subgraph of the square grid with vertex set {$(i,j) \in Z \times Z:\ i+j \geq 0$}, and let $p_n$ be the probability that the cluster containing $(0,0)$ has size $> n$. How quickly does $p_n$ fall as $n \rightarrow \infty$?
As Leandro suggested in the comments, this should follow a power-law decay in $n$. However, Hara and Slade's rigorous work using lace expansions is only valid for dimensions $\ge 19$. Much of the rigorous work on critical exponents for two-dimensional percolation has been done only recently, via connections to Schramm-Loewner Evolution (with $\kappa = 6$). A good starting place might be this PowerPoint presentation by Oded Schramm. Here is Page 23:
Physicists have predicted some exponents describing asymptotics of critical percolation in 2D.

Arthur Levine Talks Half-Blood Prince and BeyondBooks
Arthur Levine, editor of the US edition of the Harry Potter books, recently appeared at Silliman College (Yale), and spoke about his work at Scholastic on the series of books. Mr. Levine refleced about topics such as working with Jo, and spoke of his reaction to the death of a much beloved character in Half-Blood Prince.
"First, I felt just shock, and then I felt there's no way, just no way, [ name edited for spoiler] couldn't be dead," Levine said. "So I thought, 'What's the trick?' but unfortunately J.K. Rowling doesn't do that. She's writing about war and in war people die. They are not protected by their office and the esteem in which they are held. She wouldn't compromise that idea by easily bringing him back."
Mr. Levine continues on to describe his thoughts about JKR, calling her 'brillant' and that " she strikes him as someone who could have been his pal in high school." He goes on to say that he hopes his working relationship with Jo does not end after Book Seven.
"Though his work on the "Harry Potter" series will end soon, Levine surprised some when he said he has no intention of ending his partnership with Rowling.
"I think I'll have complex feelings about [the last book]," Levine said. "It's clearly the series that I will be best known for. But it won't be, it's not the end of my career. It's not the last thing J.K. Rowling will write either, and my relationship with her will continue."

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON — Dogs may be a man's best friend, but horses have been Americans' companions since before the country's founding.
At the Horse and Pony Show, the last event for the 2010 Madison County 4-H Fair, horses brought tears to two groups. One group remembered a fallen leader with her horse, and another honored their fallen horses just by showing up.
"It's been good for us," said Morgan Whiteman, a 4-H rider who appeared at the show for the first time without her beloved Miracle.
Fallen companions
Miracle, a prize-winning mare, was one of 13 horses that perished in a Chesterfield stable fire more than two months ago. The teenagers, though distraught, have begun to heal from the loss, said stable owner Joyce Baker.
"It took them a while to get over that; there's still days," she said.
After the fire at Indiana Stallion Station, the construction company rebuilt a shell for the new stable, Baker said. Then, the 4-H'ers went to work putting in stalls and rebuilding the indoor arena.
"We've only got about four stables left," said 13-year-old Morgan.
Practice didn't stop, said Tim Zambos, father of one of the teens. He said he was impressed and honored to see the group members put on their boots and slickers to practice in muddy rain.
"They just cowgirled up," he said, as his daughter Makaela walked back into the fairground's stables. "These kids, they've been through a lot, but I'm proud of them."
And the girls made a showing at Saturday's event. Baker said most of the 12 won some sort of award. Morgan's twin sister, Megan Whiteman, won grand champion in the Western Mares over-56-inches category. Mikaela won second in the barrels race, Riley Lephart won the costume class, Nikki Campbell won the princess ambassadorship, and Camden Nunley won the prince ambassadorship.
Morgan didn't win the barrel, pole or flag races on her new horse, Tabby. She said Tabby was faster but not as comfortable with outdoor arenas.
"It kind of feels like she's here with me," Morgan said, twirling a black, braided bracelet made from Miracle's tail.
Celebrating with a champion
On the other side of the competition, a group came together to surprise a single leader who lost his girlfriend in December.
"They got me," said Bob Clendenin, a co-leader of the 4-H Ruff Ryders.
His 4-H'ers entered Fancy, a bay roan horse, in the yearling competition, knowing that she was the only entrant and would win champion and grand champion in the category.
"It broke my heart," Clendenin said. "It made me cry in front of a bunch of people."
Clendenin said he bought Fancy last year for his girlfriend, Lisa Hartley. He said Hartley wanted a blue roan, but Fancy fell in his price range.
"We took care of her (Fancy) all winter," he said.
Hartley died right after Christmas, at age 46. The Ruff Ryders' tribute to her on Saturday, Clendenin said, was a perfect way to remember Hartley.
"It's been a hell of a ride," Hartley said.

A specially-called meeting to discuss cutting the Fairfield Police Department was cancelled Tuesday after the council failed to meet quorum. FOX6 News has also learned that one of those missing councilors is in jail.
Several council members didn't appear at Tuesday'd planned meeting and officials tell us Councilor Primus Mack is in custody for enticing a minor.
This is just one of several issues the city is facing. Monday, Councilor Willie. Hardley, Jr. suggested eliminating the police department and contracting with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. This came about after Hardley says the council was left in the dark about ongoing investigation and an alleged rise in crime.
Officers attended Monday night's meeting, saying they are hard pressed to do their jobs because of a lack of staff and equipment.
Hardley says he hasn't yet spoke to Sheriff Mike Hale about the situation but he wanted to shake things up.
"I hate it got to this point but I just wanted to get their attention, I want to get the mayor's attention so I'm hoping we got his attention to do something," Hardley said.
Tune in at 10 to hear from the Fairfield Police Chief on the situation. You can watch on air, online at http://foxalabamalive.com and through the WBRC News app.

It would take a past legend to beat him from 147 to 154 and even that would not be easy. Today, can't see anyone beating Floyd. From the past, I would say Leonard could do it, probably Hearns as well. Duran, ONLY if he could show what he showed at Lightweight and the first Leonard fight. More than likely, it's a repeat of Duran quitting like in the second Leonard fight. Benitez might hold him to a draw. He kills Curry, Starling, Breland.
Robinson beats him because he was so good there is no second.

Some past legends may give Floyd problems,
As Floyd Sr. himself even said, "The competition was much better back than." In the past, boxing had also one or two championship federation world titles at the most instead of four. Many fighters today can win a big four belt and none of the federations have unification requirements, so in these days, the best can't or won't fight the best like in the past.
Remember that Floyd's a guy who is so used to setting his own temp and dictating the pace of a good 75% of his opponents. Most only win maybe four rounds off of him. However, with these past greats, Floyd would be up against fighters who set their own temp in there their own time and it would be hard to assess how well he could adjust. There are some vicious power punches with these legends and boxers who were their own version of Floyd in the days they fought, maybe even better. When you have a present great who is so used to controlling the terms and the pace, and than all of a sudden you have a "This guy's doing it even better." It can effect game plan and ability to execute that plan.
Floyd would always be competitive against the past greats, but not sure if he wins against some of them for the reasons above.

Hotel Leelaventure Ltd is all set to foray into the entry-level business class hotel segment with a chain of hotels under the brand Essence by The Leela.
Vivek Nair, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Hotel Leelaventure, told Business Line that this chain will be developed on the asset-light model, where Leela will run the property under management contract, and not invest.
Designed for tier-II towns, the brand is likely to be launched in a couple of months. And, the company hopes to firm up contracts with property developers for at least six to eight properties in the next six months, Nair said.
These hotels will entail an investment of around Rs 75 lakh to Rs 1 crore per room and each property will have anywhere between 100 and 150 rooms, and the tariff will be in the range of Rs 7,000-7,500.
Besides, it is also planning a 110-room Leela Palace in Agra, through a joint venture. The company will give its seven-acre parcel of land, and the joint venture partner will invest in the building.
All rooms to face Taj
"Designs are ready, and the construction work should begin anytime soon. All the 110 rooms will be facing the Taj Mahal," he said.
There are a few other luxury hotel projects in Jaipur, Bangalore and in Noida being developed through joint ventures.
With all these projects on the cards, Leela hopes to take its total room inventory to 3,500 in the next few years. Currently, it has eight operating properties with a little over 2,200 rooms.

When the Danville Salvation Army closed its thrift shop at the end of July, local families' needs didn't end with it.
Earlier this week the Salvation Army at 855 E. Fairchild St. opened Sal's Closet to provide families and individuals in emergency situations with the essentials, such as clothing, shoes, housewares and bedding.
Sal's Closet, which is located in the former thrift shop area, is open 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.
"They come here and meet with a caseworker and can get the items they need that day," said Captain Judith Lowder.
Lowder said several families received help on Monday — the first day Sal's Closet opened — and more families had appointments to come in today.
"Some serious cases came in here Monday," she said. "One woman didn't know what she would have done without our help."
Lowder said the types of situations Sal's Closet assists with are fire victims, abuse cases in which the victim and/or children must leave home immediately without any belongings and children who have had growth spurts.
"Some people are faced with, 'Do I get my kids clothes and shoes, or do I pay rent?'" she said.
Karen Kirby, assistant caseworker, said Sal's Closet also is open to families and individuals who have referrals from the Red Cross.
"If they come in with a referral from the Red Cross, they can pick out clothing for all the members of their family — three outfits a piece," she said.
One outfit is composed of a shirt or a blouse and pants or a dress, underwear, socks and bra, and one pair of shoes.
Kirby said fire victims receive a "starter kit" with dishes, pots and pans, bedding and curtains.
"That helps a whole lot," she said. "If you've had a fire and you've lost everything, it's heartbreaking."
Lowder said, "We see right now there's still a need, and we're sad the thrift store is closed, but we're blessed we have Sal's Closet."
The decision to close the thrift store was a difficult one, but Lowder said the store had become too costly to keep open.
"We weren't able to pay our bills, and we have to be good stewards with what we're given," she said.
Despite creating a Facebook page to promote the thrift store and changing the store's hours, nothing seemed to increase business at the store, Lowder said.
"When the thrift store closed July 29, it worked out rather well because it was when Fairchild Street closed," she said.
Still, Lowder and others at the Salvation Army recognized the thrift store was one of the few places in Danville where families and individuals who found themselves in certain situations could receive clothing and basic necessities free of charge.
"There are only one or two places where they can get clothes from," Lowder said. "There was a need for a place where people could get clothes for themselves and their children."
Lowder said Sal's Closet works just like the Salvation Army's voucher program.
"It depends, per case, how many outfits they receive," she said.
Volunteers help keep Sal's Closet looking tidy and neat.
"We have a group of volunteer workers who sort the donations and hang them up," she said.
Lowder said she believes the items the Salvation Army has received since the thrift store closed are of better quality.
"We're getting better quality because people know we're not selling it," she said.
Lowder said she is "excited to see what happens" in the future with Sal's Closet.

(WMC-TV) - Midtown neighbors in Central Gardens and Annesdale Park united Friday to help their newspaper carrier who has served them for nearly half a century.
Jeff Cain was beaming standing alongside his customer Denise Bollheimer at Harbert Avenue. He has been throwing the Commercial Appeal in the neighborhood since 1965.
Cain is known for helping his clients anyway he can, even serving doggie biscuits to canines as early risers take their pets for morning walks.
Last year, neighbors noticed Jeff's old F-150 truck was giving out. So they found a 1999 Ford Explorer for sale, raised the money to buy it, put a new engine in it along with other repairs, and delivered it to the hearing-impaired deliveryman.
"Always want to help them, do something for them. I never thought this [was going to happen for me]," said Cain.
One of the generous donors who made the SUV possible for Jeff Cain today said, "Central gardens is not just a neighborhood; it's a way of life."

We are named for the coldest, most unforgiving side of a mountain. We have helped explorers reach the most unfathomable heights of the Himalayas. But The North Face® legend begins, ironically, on a beach. More precisely, San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, at an altitude of only 150 feet above sea level. It was here in 1966 that two hiking enthusiasts resolved to follow their passions and founded a small mountaineering retail store.
Now, more than 40 years after its humble grand opening, The North Face delivers an extensive line of performance apparel, equipment, and footwear. We push the boundaries of innovation so that you can push the boundaries of exploration. We remain deeply proud to be the first choice of the world's most accomplished climbers, mountaineers, extreme skiers, snowboarders, endurance runners, and explorers.

With the snip of a ribbon, and the flick of switch, life for Chris Bundschu who lives along the Orange River is looking a lot drier.
"Every square mile they take back out of the orange river that's currently flowing into the orange river reduces the flood potential" says Bundschu.
The East County Water Control District's new pump station is tasked with reducing that flood risk.
"We're going to be able to move a large amount of water" says David Lindsay, ECWCD.
It's in Lehigh moving water from the Orange River into Halfway Pond.
The 3 phase project is meant to restore the historic flow of water in Lehigh back south.
District officials say there are other benefits too.
"The main reason for this project is happening is to hopefully move water south, hopefully store water, keep water out of the Caloosahatchee River and the estuaries" says Lindsay.
In the water is an 18 inch pipe already pumping water back into this pond, next to it an even bigger pipe not yet pumping but ready to go as this project moves forward.
The first phase was made possible by a 350,000 grant by the South Florida Water Management District.
Officials say supporting the project was the right thing to do.
"Ecological benefit, we have water storage which helps the estuary, and we have flood control which helps the community, so it truly is a win, win, win project out here" says Phil Flood, with the SFWMD.
Bundschu agrees.
"They've got a ways to go yet to bring it up to today's standards but they've made a lot of improvements" says Bundschu.
The future phases of the project include storing water for the expansion of State road 82, and providing it if plans for a new runway at Southwest Florida International Airport are approved.

Time Warner Cable Shares Surge on Report of Liberty Media Deal
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - John Malone's Liberty Media (LMCA) continues to press a merger with Time Warner Cable (TWC) using its 27% holding in cable system Charter Communications (CHTR), Bloomberg News reports.
After being rebuffed earlier in June, Malone is continuing to work on structuring a deal that would be the largest in size since a media industry merger wave over a decade ago, according to the Bloomberg report.
Time Warner shares gained over 8% to $112.01 in Thursday afternoon trading, while Charter shares gained over 5% to $125.72. Liberty Media shares gained over 2.5% to $127.51.
Still, according to the Bloomberg report, Time Warner is not interested in a merger, given the cable giant's larger size.According to industry analysts, a deal for Time Warner would only likely occur at a significant premium to the company's $30 billion market-plus cap, potentially out of reach of smaller competitors like Liberty Media and Charter Communications. "Our conclusion is that [Charter] would have much more to gain from a merger than [Time Warner Cable] and, therefore, a merger of equals is unlikely to occur," Bryan Kraft, an Evercore Partners analyst wrote in a June 25 analysis of a possible deal. Kraft noted Charter would be "highly motivated" to pursue a stock merger with Time Warner Cable given the current premium valuation the company carries in stock markets. The analyst questioned whether Time Warner Cable would see similar benefits of a stock merger and highlighted a cash deal could increase the combined company's leverage to uncomfortable levels. Charter could also look to acquire Cablevision (CVC), the Bloomberg report said, citing unnamed sources. The Bloomberg report added new details to Liberty Media and Malone's merger targets after CNBC reported earlier in June both companies had discussed a deal without making headway. Liberty Media's reported interest in Time Warner Cable in recent weeks, creates a cable and media industry intrigue that mirrors a merger wave on Wall Street near the peak of the dot-com bubble a decade ago. At the Nasdaq market top in the tech bubble, media industry conglomerates such as Time Warner (TWX), Comcast (CMCSA), Viacom (VIAB) and Disney (DIS) underwent a merger wave seeking to build out cable and internet assets to complement their media businesses. From 2000 to 2009, the largest media conglomerates wrote down $200 billion in assets as a result of a bad acquisitions and misguided 'strategic' investments, according to The Curse of the Mogul, a sweeping study on why an overstretch of C-Suite ambition has destroyed shareholder value throughout the industry. Liberty Media, however, has been a savvy acquirer and recent deals such as an over $10 billion acquisition of Virgin Media (VMED), a crisis-time capital infusion into SiriusXM Radio (SIRI) and spinoffs of assets such as Starz (STRZA) indicates John Malone is taking a somewhat more measured approach in trying to expand his cable and media empire. A merger of large cable providers, meanwhile, would contrast with mega-mergers done a decade ago, as they would likely wrench out significant synergy in the slow growth industry. At Liberty Media's annual shareholder meeting in June, Malone signaled to the industry the company would continue its aggression in mergers," Malone called Liberty Media "a horizontal acquisition machine." The company was rumored to be interested in supplementing its Virgin Media acquisition for European cable TV properties with an acquisition of German cable system Kabel Deutschland. However, earlier in June, the company announced a merger with U.K-based telecom Vodafone (VOD). -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York. Follow @antoinegara

High quality piece So much here goes without saying because these are Rock Revival jeans. Aside of that, these jeans are true to description, and have a very unique wash treatment that stands out against any other indigo denim, its very apparent from a distance that these are not your average jean.For those unfamiliar with Rock Revival, they make the best denim of any manufacturer. So many details inside and out of their product show true quality and pride. The denim blend is spot on, heavy enough to be rugged but supple and nonrestrictive September 22, 2012

Montreal Impact
Dynamo fans took to EA Sports FIFA 14 to take down the Montreal Impact before our MLS match tonight, vying for a spot in the FIFA Lounge at Friday's game. Personally, I wouldn't mind if some of these scorelines were replicated tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Miss out on the fun? We're doing it again for next Wednesday's midweek clash against Sporting Kansas City. Just take a screenshot of the Dynamo beating SKC on FIFA 14 and post it to twitter with #HOUvSKCFIFA, and you could sit in the FIFA Lounge for the big midweek clash against our Eastern rivals.
The Houston Dynamo face one of their biggest matches of the season this Friday against the Montreal Impact at BBVA Compass Stadium. Eddie Robinson and Dynamo TV take you through what to watch for in This Week.
The Montréal Impact and Houston Dynamo will meet a crucial match for the Eastern Conference playoff picture as the clubs clash Saturday evening at Stade Saputo. The Impact ended a brief losing skid last time out, now sitting in a tie for third place in the East, just a point out of the top spot, following a 2-1 home win vs. D.C. United. The Dynamo are holding onto fifth place and the final postseason berth following their 3-1 home win vs. Seattle Sounders FC last week.

A huge match atop the Eastern Conference is ahead on Wednesday night as the Montréal Impact play host to the Houston Dynamo at Stade Saputo.

The usual stoner rock soundscapes; mid-paced jammin rhythm section, flexible and loose, big distorted guitar wailings abound, and sparse, swirling vocals a la Dead Meadow. Available on vinyl too.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Looks to be the first of two CD releases from this West Coast four piece. Some would tag it as great 'stoner rock' as others might describe it as 'progressive metal'. You call it. Either way, this four song effort is pretty dang good. Tracks I thought were to be most inspiring were the last two cuts that appear to sort of run together. The eight-minute "Dragon Of The Deep, Part 1″ and the soaringly epic twenty-two minute "Dragon Of The Deep, Part 2″. Well done. Personnel: Nicky-guitar&vocals, Mike-guitar, Chris-bass and Aaron-drums. Might appeal to followers of Bongzilla, Monster Magnet, Electric Wizard, Kyuss and Sleep.
Mammatus are a psychedelic stoner rock band from Santa Cruz, California. While they haven't been around for a long time, they deliver on all levels with their self titled debut. The album, in my mind, is like a combination of the psychedelic bands of the past and the psychedelic bands of today. They also know when to lay down some heavy grooves ala Sleep and Dead Meadow.
Opener "The Righteous Path Through The Forest Of Old" combines this element very well with some long jamming and interesting chord changes that put to image a bandit running through a twisty forest. After a few minutes, we switch gears to a very heavy groove with a lot of swirly effects, and buried vocals in the vein of early Dead Meadow. This song has a lot going on, but it just sounds like it was played live too. Very sweet.
The drone-rock of "The Outer Rim" paves way for "Dragon Of The Deep Part One." which has a twisty riff going in and out, then slows down to kick another massive groove. The band really knows how to structure their songs so that the climaxes sound more climatic.
The 21-minute epic "Dragon Of The Deep Part Two" shows everything that Mammatus can do. A powerful intro leads way into a very climatic center when the band is in full force. After a long atmospheric breakdown, the band decides to get completly heavy. A riff as heavy as Sleep's Dopesmoker comes through the mist, and we are left slowly nodding our heads to this beast of a song.
This is an absoulty incredible debut, coming from a band that has only been around for a year. I look forward to hearing more from them real soon.
Whoa, heavy!! This is a whole-body vibrating, brain-melting, serious amplifier worship ceremony! The first time I saw these guys, last year sometime at the Hemlock here in San Francisco, I was blown away… I'd been told the were a heavy 'stoner rock' outfit from Santa Cruz and worth checking out, but I didn't realize they were gonna be quite so AMAZING. Hairy backwoods hippy dudes, the drummer wearing what looked to be a home-made Whysp t-shirt, guitars turning the air to cottage cheese a la Blue Cheer while creating a trance-zone worthy of Finland's Circle!! So good that I immediately bought the live cd-r they were selling.
So yeah, heavy stoner rock this is, but waaay psychedelic and Hawkwindy, kinda like what maybe you thought Circle side-project Pharaoh Overlord was gonna (and sometimes does) sound like. Loud, massive and mesmerizing, swirling sludge psych! Their songs, often of epic length, are ever chugging skyward, dripping molten goo, full of feedback and fx. Their energetic riffage and warm drones are adorned by drifting vox (not unlike Dead Meadow, with whom they share certain proclivities) and fantastic, metallic, progtastic imagery. Take note of titles like "Dragon Of The Deep" (parts one and two!) and the Roger Dean-esque cover art by Arik "Moonhawk" Roper.
Further musical comparisions aren't hard to come up with — Mammatus belong in the company of such bastions of cosmic heaviness as Sleep, Boris, YOB, UFOmammut, Earthless, old Monster Magnet, Acid Mothers Temple (at AMT's heaviest, like on Starless & Bible Black Sabbath), Tarantula Hawk, and even Amon Duul (especially on the druggy, krautrocky jam "The Outer Rim"). And of course they're now labelmates with OM, which also makes perfect sense. If you love many, or even just any, of those bands and the sounds they make, this comes highly recommended.

C.J. Wilson wasn't very good through the first two innings, but he escaped unscathed. Then he seemed to find his groove in the bottom of the third. That didn't bode very well for the Cardinals' hopes of getting on the board.
But get on the board they did, in the bottom of the fourth. Pitching in a scoreless tie, Wilson hit Albert Pujols with a 2-1 slider to lead off.
On the very next pitch, Wilson left a fastball over the middle of the plate, and Matt Holliday drove it down the line the other way for a double. Pujols limped around the bases and had to stop at third instead of sprinting home, but he'd make it home before long.
Lance Berkman was up next, and in a 1-0 count, he slapped an outside cutter the other way, the ball falling just fair, just beyond first base. It went for a two-run single, and the Cardinals found themselves armed with a 2-0 lead.
That's all the damage they'd do. David Freese sent a long fly to straightaway center that sounded good off the bat, but came up short of the wall. There were also two other, far more boring outs. But a 2-0 lead is a 2-0 lead, and Chris Carpenter has looked a lot better in the last two innings than he did in the first two. The Cardinals are in a good place.

This isn't Throwback Thursday, Laird was back towing Jaws on Wednesday, Jan 22nd, without a paddler in sight as that familiar bright yellow butterfly hovered over the peak. Filming for Point Break 2 took over the Peahi/Jaws lineup yesterday during the Pacific mega swell and the nostalgia is coursing through our veins. Sadly Laird we are reliably informed will not be in the movie.
"Turns out they were filming Point Break 2 and they took over the whole lineup." Mike Neal told us. "There were some big fat looking ones, but it was cloudy, rainy and windy. Far from ideal conditions. Laird was ripping, but took a couple bad wipeouts." Mr Hamilton has been pretty quiet of late, surfing well out of the endemic spotlight and claims to use forecasting to avoid the madding crowd, however give him a monster wave and he'll be there faster than a rocket powered hydrofoil.
According to Gabby, Laird's wife, "Laird was not working on that film project. He merely went to Maui to surf for his own experience and pleasure."
This is a huge swell, on a par with the recent Hercules event which recently rocked Europe, anything near 20ft @ 20 seconds is a rare top percentile system. However there were some crazy numbers being thrown around before the swell, we were seeing nearly 40ft @ 20 seconds of swell a being touted in some places. Probably enough to wash the islands away.
And whilst still huge, our model data was considerably lower than these optimistic outlooks. So, how did our forecast fare against the buoy records? *You have to be logged in to view historic records.
Our Jaws (Maui) forecast was 18ft @ 18 seconds and the Maui buoy was 18ft @ 18 seconds
Having forecast 22ft @ 18 seconds for Waimea, the buoy recorded a peak of 24ft @ 18 seconds
This system now moves onto Mavericks and the most exciting Big Wave World Tour event of the year which is forecast to top last year's inconsistent event.
"Interestingly this years contest falls only days apart from the date of last year's event, and like 2013 the swell is not quite a typical big wave beast." Says Forecaster Ben Freeston "Where we'd typically look at swells in the 16ft@16 second range, requiring a relatively nearby storm, on both of the last two years the contest has been called on much more distant, longer period swells.
"The results last year, with a clean 7-8ft@19 seconds, were both inconsistency and somewhat modest size against the benchmark set by the spot. This years exceptional swell maintains that long period but adds almost 50% to the size in the 10-11ft range. Given our forecast model has already validated well by satellite, and at the wave buoys in Hawaii, it'd be reasonable to expect the breaking wave heights to mirror this increase in swell size, albeit still with those slightly longer intervals typical of these more distant swells. With light offshore winds, sunny skies and that swell peaking during the day, it looks like a great call for competition."

Recently, a homeless woman started coming to our church. Her hair is cut like a man's, she wears shapeless clothes, and calls herself "Jim", though I just learned her real name is Kara. She is, to put it honestly, one of those who have gender identification issues. I understand her family has not treated her very well at all. She knows Jesus, but other churches have judged and rejected her, and we are doing our best to show her the love of Christ.
However, Pastor Brian has to spend lots of time with her, trying to get her off the street, and following guidelines he has set up for her. These include no camping on the premises, and she still does that. When we are having services, she wanders in and out. I feel she is struggling and trying to deal with the issues in her life, but isn't ready to fall down in front of the altar and turn them over to Jesus, as I say. I told her my family wasn't exactly good to me, but that sometimes you have to just let it go.
The more people who pray for victory over bondages and strongholds in Kara's life, the better. Would you please join me and my church in praying for a spiritual breakthrough in this young woman's life? Thank you and God bless.

Model 9321-2VGA, $29.99. Made by Chicago Electric (China).
Just sharpened my first chain with it. Old beat up chain, teeth were 1/2 the length of a new chain. Actually did a decent job of sharpening the chain.
Product is primarly plastic. Fit of the parts a bit loose. Manual is in "English". Explaination of set up - not very good. Actually, I just looked at the pictures to figure out the set up - set up is not complicated. Operation is fast and easy.
Product is probably ok for occasional use. Definitely not for someone who needs to sharpen chains on a frequent basis.

An interesting review since the wrecking ball went through the walls after Stampede in July. This location was much more authentic than the alternative 2 blocks west that was set up in preparation for the destruction of the mother ship. More UK in feel than the other Penny Lane Entertainment ventures. Rumour is that there will be a new location in the new tower that is being built on the old location. The temporary or secondary location has too much open space and more of a cafeteria/diner feel than the original establishment.

Was in Calgary on business and dropped by this place which was only a block from my hotel.
Very nice feeling to the bar...lots of wook, nice bar location, many tv's turned to sports. I sat at the bar.
The bartender was very attentive and had lots of information. Very nice.
On tap, they had maybe 20 beers. I had some Sleeman's, but they also had Guiness, Stella, Bud light, Bass, etc.
The bartender recommened the Guiness stew and Guines bread...which fit well with the overcast weather. The stew and bread were excellent. I ate the stew with a fork! Seemed to work well with the beer.
Overall, this is a very nice place with good food and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will certainly consider going back.

I had the opportunity to visit this establishment while on business in Calgary. From what I can tell this pub is on a main entertainment strip (two theaters, multiple other bars and eating eastblishments). We visited here first, and it was pretty full for a Thursday, (second floor had a private party we we first got there). It was a beautiful day and we were able to get a table on the sdewalk/patio. I loved the look of the place. Big center bar dominates the first floor with lots of wood and a worn wood floor. The second floor is just a cool, having a small old pub feel. Never made it to the rooftop patio.
I had been in Calgary for only two days, and the beer was what I was used to seeing in other bars, I was particularly interested in Canadian beers (and not Molson or Labatt). This bar had Okanagan Springs Pale Ale, Alexander Keith's, two beers from Big Rock, Strongbow, ond others, including some macro. In keeping with the Irish pub theme they had Guinness and and an Irish Red Ale Kilkenny (sp?). The beer was good, but I hvae been turned off on the prices, a bit more than what I am ued to paying for a pint, and the exchange rate is not that big.
For food I had the Fish and Chips, very good. My coworkers split an order of the ribs and Guinness Bread. They liked the bread, but not the ribs. The dry "fried" ribs thing is different than what we're used to. The service was great even though they were busy. On this particular Thursday they were having a live "Irish" band. We left for a bucket of beers at Murph's and came back for the music, which was on the second floor. Good music, good beer, good time. I'd love a chance to go back.

I would have to say this is one of the better bars on 9th Ave, Part of the Penny-Lane Entertainment group (Cowboy's, Chicago Steak House, Penny-Lane Mall)
Good Atmosphere, great times up on the patio, if you get tickets to a party there, Deffinitally go.
Quality was good as well, id have to say typical for a bar down town Calgary
Service- Was nothing special, we where kind of ignored for a while but friendly bar staff
Selection- Tons of beer to choose from, most of the big british and irish stouts, and of course Canadian and calgary favourites (Kokanee, Keith's. Big Rock beers)
Value- as with pretty much every bar downtown, prices are a bit high, paid $5.25 for a pint of Traditional

What if America allowed one day of crime?
This is not for the weakhearted.
In the new film "Purge," Americans are given 12 hours per year where all crime is legal and all emergency services are put on hold. Basically, it's anarchy, but crime falls and so does unemployment.
Naturally, a lot goes wrong, but the trailer is pretty interesting.
Take a look, but be warned: Trailer for this R-rated film is intense and does contain disturbing content.

The Farmers' Museum will be hosting a book signing on Sunday featuring Dina Falconi and illustrator Wendy Hollender, authors of the new book "Foraging and Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook."
The event will be held in conjunction with Harvest Festival. At 12:30 p.m., the pair will demonstrate botanical drawing, and they will answer questions about wild-plant identification, foraging and cooking. At 1 p.m., they will offer a tasting of a recipe and sign copies of their book.
"Foraging and Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook" celebrates and reclaims the lost art of turning locally gathered wild plants into nutritious, delicious meals, a traditional foodway long practiced by our ancestors but neglected in modern times. The book features 50 botanical illustrations and more than 100 master recipes.
According to a media release, the easy-to-use reference charts collate the information found throughout the book, helping to locate the harvest and use it tastefully.
Paid visitors to Harvest Festival may access the book signing and other foraging and feasting activities. Admission prices for Harvest Festival are $12 for adults (13-65), $10.50 for seniors (65+), $6 for juniors (7-12), and free for NYSHA members and children 6 and younger.

Prolific author James Patterson has hit the 3 million mark in 3-book sales, according to his publisher the Hachette Book Group.
The author, whose latest book is 10th Anniversary with Maxine Paetro, releases a few books every year, often with other writers (like Paetro). Two million of the books were purchased in just the last 11 months, according to Hachette.
And you think e-books aren't the wave of the future?

Lots! These last few months, we have been at a constant simmer with some great Meet the Author programs at the Library. This Sunday, we heat things up a bit with Bob Spitz, who'll be here to talk about his new book, The Saucier's Apprentice: One Long Strange Trip through the Great Cooking Schools of Europe. It's a culinary memoir and it's a great and fun read (it even has recipes!). It also just came out this week and we will be the first stop on Bob's book tour at 5:30 p.m. this Sunday, May18th.
Bob stopped in this morning to chat with me and Janet and it was, as usual, a delightful experience. The link to the podcast of that interview is right here.
From here, he heads out to California (the same night!) to begin his tour.
The Norwalk Hour had a great story about Bob and the book in yesterday's edition. And(!) we must make sure to be on the alert for the August issue of Oprah magazine where a story about Bob cooking with his daughter will be featured. We can't wait!
...and we can't wait for Sunday to hear more from Bob. Please join us!
Okay. I know...enough already with the fine/Fein puns. I'm sorry; I can't help it. And besides, it's not entirely true anyway. John Feinstein's appearance here on Sunday was actually so much better than fine. Five minutes in this man's presence and it's easy to see why he is considered one of the best and most-respected in the broadcasting business. He is, also, by the way, a bestselling author. He was extremely entertaining...sharing wonderful anecdotes and stories - some factual, some poignant, and some hilarious. We were in his spell and to those of us who were here on Sunday, we KNOW we witnessed an extraordinary event. We expect to have the webcast up anyminutenow, but, in the meantime, check out our video short from this memorable program.
Talk about a major scoop!
Last Wednesday, Barbara and Janet interviewed Ed Gray, co-author of In Nixon's Web: A Year in the Crosshairs of Watergate, and posted the podcast on our website. The questions are masterful, the answers are mesmerizing, and you'll definitely be intrigued for Sunday night's 5:30pm book tour launch at Darien Library. Little did we know that Barbara and Janet had scooped a major cable news television show by landing the first interview!
Take a listen to our podcast, and don't miss Ed Gray's appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe show, which airs tomorrow morning, March 7th, during the 6am to 9am broadcast.
The New York Times has proclaimed him to be swaggeringly abrasive and "one of the country's most eloquent and acid-tongued critics." The New York Observer has labeled him a "zigzagging cultural omnivore." Pete Hamill of The New Yorker encourages readers to "savor his vigorous prose, and prepare to be surprised."
And last week, in an episode of The Daily Show, he eagerly debated with Jon Stewart on the subject of cyber-bullying:
I think it's safe to say that with Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob, author Lee Siegel lives up to his unabashed reputation with a provocative exposition of what he deems "the most radical transformation of private and public life in the history of humankind" - the Internet.
Mr. Siegel never fails to intrigue and entertain as he packs a pop culture punch and attacks what has become second-nature to most of us - surfing the Web, emailing, blogging, watching reality television, even our regular Starbucks outings - with a fresh, albeit a bit stinging, perspective. He questions why society has so blindly accepted the Internet as a utopia of human connection and points out that, in fact, it actually fosters isolation, bullying, invasions of privacy, and a false sense of reality...to name a few!
Please join us on Thursday, March 6th at 7:00pm, when Mr. Siegel visits Darien Library as part of our Ouside the Box series. You won't want to miss this opportunity to meet one of the most respected and buzzed about culture-critics in the nation.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
A book signing will follow the presentation and there will be a drawing for prizes.
Refreshments will be served. Coffee is courtesy of Darien Starbucks.

Trick or treating came early for the kids at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Spirit Halloween Stores hosted a Halloween party for pediatric patients and their families, complete with costumes, games and crafts.
"Jake the Dog" from the television show Adventure Time was also there to brighten the spirits of the young patients.
The party was part of Spirit Halloween's "Spirit of Children" program which focuses on making hospitals less scary for thousands of hospitalized kids.
The program has raised more than $309,000 for Phoenix Children's Hospital to date.

It's time to fess up; I'm writing this on Palm Sunday.
Although the 40 days of Lent aren't quite up, the time to assess the situation is. The deadline for submitting the write-up is here. The jig is up. This will be a multi-pronged piece of miscellany about the word "up," also, my promised efforts to lose weight and a follow-up on ketchup.
First, the battle of the bulge. With just one week to go, I'm clinging to most of what earned me the heavyweight status in the first place. It has definitely not been a case of easy come, easy go. The first 10 pounds melted away quickly, aided by daily walking with Kaye at the mall and the lack of sweets of all kinds. I ate lots of fruits and vegetables and nothing else between meals. I got stuck at that 10-pound plateau, and there I remained. I'll be extra good for the next seven days and hope that when you read this on Easter morning, I will have lost a bit more. I really tried.
As for ketchup, the response was wonderful. I can't mention by name all those who wrote or called, but your comments were terrific. Rose Moore of Champlain sent me two "tomato ketchup" recipes from her canning books.
Melissa wrote, "How I love ketchup. Many nights, all I know is that I want ketchup for dinner, so I have to decide what I want to make that I can logically eat it on."
Steffan Beauharnois of Rouses Point sent a photo of his father-in-law in Massena who "eats ketchup on everything." It shows Al Layo with a special ketchup T-shirt. Steffan's teenage daughter sent me a link to a YouTube rap ditty about ketchup.

The Roebling Bridge is back open after being closed to vehicle traffic on Thursday.
The bridge was closed to clean up some debris that fell from the north tower onto the bridge deck. Crews on scene say it was a 12'' piece of sandstone.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the bridge was closed to traffic from about 4:00 p.m. to 7:2O p.m.
The damaged appeared to be superficial, but crews remained on scene to continue checking the rest of the bridge to be sure.
If you want to know more about the history of the bridge, be sure to visit the Roebling section of our timeline on Facebook.
