This is the time of year when every football handicapper or recreational bettor starts to get excited. Football camps are open and the preseason is about to kick off. This is a time to analyze teams, check out the battles for position players, and watch for injuries. This can also be a great time to make a few bucks.
The debate on if a bettor should wager on preseason football games has gone on for a long time. Those opposed would say it is a waste of time, because a fourth string quarterback could control the outcome late in the game and some coaches and teams don't even play to win. Those in favor have a much different approach to the preseason, and I am in favor of betting on preseason games.
The biggest reason I believe that betting on preseason football is a wise move is because like the players themselves, it prepares you for the upcoming season. Doing proper research to learn about the teams now will prepare you for the regular season kickoff. When you research a preseason game you learn about offseason player movement, coaching changes, and other important aspects of a team. For instance the Hall of Fame game that kicks off this Sunday will have injuries and even suspensions that will play a role in the preseason game and will carry over to the regular season. This research will help win money now and keep winning it in the future. In order to win money in the preseason then research has to be completed and here are a few things I look at when handicapping a preseason game.
Who's going to play? One of the most significant to things to know is who is going to play. Teams will reveal the rotation before a game and they will say what players will get significant playing time and even divulge what quarters they will play in. This is most telling for the quarterback position.
Coaches Motivation: Different coaches approach preseason in different ways. Some coaches believe it is important to win in the preseason. They think it will set a precedent and set the bar high for expectations for the regular season. Other coaches believe the preseason is there to evaluate talent and stay away from injuries. To know how the coach is going to approach a game can be vital to covering the number and cashing a winning ticket.
Battle for the top spot: Coaches will reveal what positions are still up for grabs and that can make the difference when you get deep into a game. If a player knows that he can earn the top spot by playing well they may push harder against lesser competition. The player's motivation is important to know, just like the coaches.
Read all about it: The difference between the regular season and the preseason is that coaches will reveal game plans in the preseason. Reading local papers from each team can keep you up to date on the game plan for each team. This is also a good source of information leading up to kickoff as most local affiliates now keep up to date reports or team blogs.
One thing for sure the NFL preseason gives handicappers enough information to make an informed decision on the game. Looking at these factors and many others not named is a great way to make some money during the NFL preseason! It gives the handicapper a head start for the season so the only other question left is, are you ready for some football?

angelatheartrachelLife Changing eh?
Awww… just though i'd take this opportunity to say praise about my boyfriend.
The other week he was so upset because he was in a dead end job – his parents were treating him like crap and he wanted to move out but he didn't have the money. He was learning to drive with ahrdly any money and he just wanted to change.
So i said one line which i'm not sure he believed till it happened.
"Danny Gurney, I am going to change your life in 6 months. First of all you wont notice anything but then things will start changing and you'll be happy =) "
And i went home that night and applied to 8 jobs for him.
And guess what…3 rang him the next day…
And he got an interview for the next week,
then he got called back
Then he got offered the job.
And now he has a high paying job nearer to me =) which will get him on the track to getting a better life!
Not too bad for a 17 year old am i?

My Second Time Buying It
By GeeGee
from Greenfield, WI
About Me Midrange shopper
Comments about Brush N Bond Super Glue:
I used this glue to mend ceramic (knick knacks) that was broken and a thicker plastic book rack reader for my Nordic track. It goes on like nail polish to both sides, then use something to hold the parts together like a vice and let it dry overnight. I ran out because it's a small bottle and I used it many times. The fridge makes it last forever, as far as I can tell. I had no problems that I read below.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fleet of Gliding Robots Collect Ocean Data
It's a bird… it's a plane… it's an ocean-going robot! Scientists from the United States and Canada are teaming up to launch up to 14 ocean-monitoring robotic gliders. These gliders are collecting data on ocean conditions and marine life along the eastern seaboard, traveling from the coast to the edge of the continental shelf.

Whales Get Sunburns, Too

Interesting Things About Interests
If you read the blog yesterday, you may recall two things: (1) the 4th Annual Ocean Heroes Contest kicks off on June 6, and (2) nearly 1/3 of Ocean Heroes finalists hail from California. Now while the a significant proportion of finalists in the contest's first three years have been from the same state, our 30 previous finalists cover a wide breadth of conservation issues.
For starters, if you were to ask, 'How are the Ocean Heroes finalists helping the oceans?', then I'd tell you there are – in my opinion – seven unique areas where people can invest their time: Political Activism, Habitat Conservation, Education, Pollution Reduction, Animal Rehabilitation, Research, and Promoting Sustainability. As you can see in the chart below, most finalists are politically active –from three girls scouts in Hawaii who rallied the state legislature to make World Oceans Day an official holiday to a physics and math professor in California who pushed Italian officials to end drilling in her native region of Abruzzo, which sits east of Rome on the Adriatic Sea.
Now that you see there are many different ways to put your energy into ocean conservation, you may ask, "Where is all that energy being focused?'. Amazingly, there's no end to the different areas of focus where our Ocean Heroes commit their time and energy – SCUBA lessons for underprivileged kids (Education), developing a mooring buoy system to protect coral reefs (Conservation), saving stranded marine mammals (Rehabilitation), and the list goes on and on. As you can see in the pie chart below, marine mammals and sharks are the most popular focal points for our Ocean Heroes Finalists, but even an intense interest in sea slugs (Bonnie Lei, '10) can earn someone a bid as an Ocean Heroes Finalist.
So, whether you want to nominate yourself or someone else for conservation, education or activism, know that there's no one sure-fire area of focus that makes someone an Ocean Hero Finalist – it's about dedication and having an impact.
Hairy-chested 'Hoff' Crabs and Hybrid Sharks
Happy New Year! Hope all you ocean lovers out there had a relaxing holiday. And what better way to start off 2012 than with some fascinating new ocean discoveries?
First, scientists have identified the first-ever hybrid shark off the coast of Australia, a result of mating between the common blacktip shark and the Australian blacktip shark. The discovery indicates that some shark species may respond to changing ocean conditions by interbreeding.
And more humorously, scientists in the UK have found a new yeti crab species on the Southern Ocean floor that they have dubbed "The Hoff" because of its hairy chest – a la David Hasselhoff.
The researchers found hundreds of the crabs lying in heaps around hydrothermal vents – as many as "600 individuals per square metre." "Baywatch" and crustacean fans alike are rejoicing, and Mr. Hasselhoff himself even tweeted about the discovery.
If you could have a marine animal named after you, what would it be?

Tagging Sharks in the Dry Tortugas
Two expedition updates in one day - hold on to your hats! In this one, Oceana marine scientist Elizabeth Wilson describes yesterday's successful shark tagging adventures, including a monster nurse shark:
Today we traveled to the Dry Tortugas, a small group of islands at the end of the Florida Keys, to study sharks. On board with us is the shark team from University of Miami's R.J. Dunlap Marine Conservation Program, led by Dr. Neil Hammerschlag. Other members of the team on board are Lab Manager and graduate student Dominique Lazzare and Captain Curt Slonim.
We arrived in the Dry Tortugas National Park, anchored near Fort Jefferson and started surveying for sharks. We had a successful research trip where we tagged and sampled three Caribbean reef sharks and two nurse sharks. We attached identification tags to the Caribbean reef sharks and sent them back on their way. The nurse sharks were too big and feisty to bring on the boat for tagging…one was 10.5 feet long and was the biggest nurse shark any of us had ever seen.
Ocean Hero Finalists: Bonnie Lei
This is the tenth in a series of posts about the 2010 Ocean Hero finalists.
Today's featured finalist already has an impressive resume, and she's still in high school.
For the past three years, high school junior Bonnie Lei has been conducting independent research on the population structure and evolutionary history of sea slugs to create a better understanding of biodiversity conservation in the Caribbean.
She has reclassified the tropical Spurilla genus, identified a possible new species, and she even presented her research at the international American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) annual meetings in 2009 and 2010.
"With the escalating loss of marine species comes the loss of stability and productivity in entire ecosystems," she wrote in an essay for us. "It will be impossible to protect these species unless a lucid picture of the distribution, genetic differences, and uniqueness of the populations today is provided."

Ocean Hero Finalists: Wallace 'J.' Nichols
This is the sixth in a series of posts about the Ocean Heroes finalists.
We're wrapping up our week of Adult Ocean Hero finalists with Dr. Wallace "J." Nichols.
J.'s love of sea turtles started when he was a kid, growing out of a dual obsession with dinosaurs and the ocean.
That curious kid grew up to become an ocean activist and Research Associate at the California Academy of Sciences. He has authored more than 50 scientific papers, book chapters, articles and reports on sea turtle ecology and ocean conservation. His work has appeared in National Geographic, Scientific American, Time and Newsweek, among others.

Whale Wednesday: Squid Herding?
BBC News reports that Oregon scientists using impressive tagging technology have shown that sperm whales may work together in a kind of zone offense to hunt their squid prey.
The researchers have evidence of the whales staying together over several months in the Gulf of Mexico. And their behavior varied with each deep dive, indicating that they alternate roles to spread out the physiological demand of the 1,000-meter dives.
One researcher said that the some whales appeared to guard the bottom of a squid bait ball, while others took advantage of the center of the ball.
Other research has suggested dolphins may exhibit herding behavior, but this is the first evidence in sperm whales; some scientists remain skeptical.
Just remember, whales: there is no "I" in "team."

Out of the Blue
(Documentary, 2010, running time: 52 minutes)
Ray Schmitt began a two-year spiritual journey with his camera in September 2007 after suddenly losing his wife and film partner Judy Lee. He couldn't imagine her "not being." Where did she go? She had to exist in some spiritual or energy form otherwise he would have been more devastated by the loss. He set out to re-examine, or affirm, his belief system. Using Ken Burn's film "The Brooklyn Bridge" as a metaphor, Schmitt builds a bridge to the metaphysical world. First traveling to Mexico he has many synchronistic encounters along the way including meeting widows who share their own personal stories. Schmitt explores whether things can exist in different forms or dimensions, how the universe connects with us and us to the universe, and how inspirational thoughts or messages can seemingly come to us "Out of the Blue." But one thing Schmitt wasn't prepared for was a revelation that occurred just as he was completing his film.

Each spring since 2010, some of Washington's A-list politicians assemble in the capital to submit to questions from some of the media's A-list journalists on the future of the federal fiscal policy.
These interviews, though, aren't conducted on the steps of Congress, in the Washington bureaus of the nation's newspapers, or in the television studios of major networks, but rather at private "Fiscal Summits" convened by Peter G. Peterson, the billionaire former commerce secretary and co-founder of the Blackstone private equity group.
An essential and successful element of the Peterson strategy is to create an environment where it is widely if not universally believed that there is no alternative to his vision. In this view, it's "not realistic" to believe the country can afford the same programs it once did. Those who are prepared to be "adults" will look at these "hard truths" without flinching and recognize that it is time to take citizens-have-to-do-with-less medicine.Peterson, however, is hardly a disinterested and dispassionate observer of such discussions. In fact, he is now beginning his fourth decade of arguing that there is no alternative to enacting "entitlement reform" (read: cut Social Security and Medicare) and "tax reform" (read: raise regressive taxes and lower progressive ones) in the name of curbing the country's "unsustainable" debt and deficits.
The conceit is that those with "courage" will see past narrow, partisan concerns and embrace an ideal: a bipartisan consensus that has the strength to demand "shared sacrifice" from a childish and selfish populace.
A review of the proceedings of the Fiscal Summits of the last three years makes agonizingly clear that most of the journalists who conducted interviews or moderated panel discussions both reflected and amplified the Peterson worldview — entirely unselfconsciously, it would seem.
So, for example, Lesley Stahl, the CBS "60 Minutes" reporter, was fully a part of the Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson deficit-cutting team during her interview with both men: "You are going to have to raise taxes and cut things, big things, put restrictions on Social Security. Everybody knows that."
Virtually none of the reporters thought to ask about or suggest an alternative path, such as preserving Social Security benefits and bolstering the system's reserve by raising the cap of wages subject to Social Security taxes (currently annual wages above approximately $110,000 are not subject to any Social Security tax).
And most questioning proceeded either on the false assumption that deficits were derived from excessive spending on entitlements or as though they had mysteriously, but inevitably, come to pass.
Many journalists fairly shouted their personal desire to see greater cooperation and "compromise," with groups realizing the importance of submerging their interests to the greater good. Who should do the submerging? In 2012, Tom Brokaw had a suggestion in the form of a question to former President Bill Clinton: after Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker pushed through a bill undermining the right of union members to collectively bargain, shouldn't those workers have just sat down and negotiated with Walker as, Brokaw said, "has been traditionally done in this country" instead of "gather[ing] outside the capitol"?
There were a couple of exceptions to the rule. In a session moderated by Ezra Klein of the Washington Post in 2011, Klein posed a number of questions that reflected an unwillingness to operate from within the Peterson framework. For example, Klein asked New York Times columnist David Brooks whether, instead of blaming Americans for simply wanting benefits without paying for them, the causes of the debt should be located in the Bush tax cuts, two unfunded wars (Iraq and Afghanistan), and the federal government's emergency response to the financial crisis.

Infinite Circle - Antique Diamond Cluster Ring
SOLDItem 12026
One is immediately taken aback upon seeing any great amass of gems. When those precious stones are diamonds a hush falls over the room, mouths open and the only sound heard is a collective intake of breathe.
Cluster rings by definition group together gemstones. Here is an example of a large Victorian period ring nestling fifty-one (51) rose cut diamonds ranging in size from .03 carats to .30 points visually as this specific cut is wide but not deep and gives maximum impact for the weight. Although the actual estimated total diamond weight is closer to 2 carats, the ring visually "reads" as would a 3.75 carat diamond ring of shimmering prismatic coloration.
Set open back in silver to increase the already large perceptible image, the crimped edge collets add a fine textural detail. The 18k yellow gold scrolled gallery is ornate in both design and embellishment and is well paired with the 18k yellow gold engraved scalloped shank ornamented with silver floral appointments. Typical of work of the late 19th century, this gallery is a small artwork unto itself.
Measurements: 1-1/16 of an inch (2.6 cm) in diameter and rises 5/16 of an inch (0.7 cm) off the finger. This antique ring has a weight of the ring is 10.6 grams (6.8 dwt).
Ring Size: US 5-3/4 (UK K-1/2; Euro 16.25, 51.25 mm) and can easily be sized to fit almost any hand.
Condition: Excellent to mint
Date: Circa 1880 - 1890.
Overall Scale: Very large
Note: All diamond weights are approximate since the stones were not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.

Lakewood Church (2005–present)
The Lakewood Church Central Campus (originally The Summit and formerly Compaq Center) is a house of worship in Houston, Texas, United States. It is located about five miles southwest of Downtown Houston, next to the Greenway Plaza.
From 1975-2002 the building served as a multi-purpose sports arena, for various professional teams in Houston.
From its opening until 1998, the building was known as The Summit. Computer technology firm Compaq bought naming rights to the building after that and it was known as Compaq Center until 2003. At that point the name was dropped, coinciding with opening of the Toyota Center as a new professional sports venue in Houston.[3] Shortly after, the building was leased out to Lakewood Church for use as its main facility. Lakewood Church purchased the building outright in 2010.
Construction of The Summit[edit]
In 1971, the National Basketball Association's San Diego Rockets were purchased by new ownership group Texas Sports Investments, who moved the franchise to Houston. The city, however, lacked an indoor arena suitable to host a major sports franchise. The largest arena in the city at the time was 34-year-old Sam Houston Coliseum, but the Rockets would not even consider using it as a temporary facility. Plans were immediately undertaken to construct the new venue that would become The Summit. The Rockets played their home games in various local facilities such as Hofheinz Pavilion and the Astrodome during the interim.[4]
Completed in 1975 at a cost of $18 million,[5] The Summit represented a lavish new breed of sports arena, replete with amenities, that would help the NBA grow from a second-tier professional sport into the multi-billion dollar entertainment industry that it is today. The Omni in Atlanta (now the site of Philips Arena), McNichols Sports Arena in Denver (now a parking lot for Sports Authority Field), and the Coliseum at Richfield in Cleveland (now an open meadow in the process of being reclaimed by forest) were all constructed during this period and remained in service until the continued growth of the NBA sparked a new arena construction boom in the late 1990s.
On each end of the arena was a Fair-Play scoreboard with a small two-line monochrome message center. Both scoreboards would be upgraded in 1986 with the addition of three front-projection videoboards on top of each scoreboard. The center videoboard showed live game footage, fan shots, and replays while the left and right videoboards showed slides displaying advertisements for the Rockets' (and Aeros') sponsors.
Notable events[edit]
It housed the Rockets, Aeros, Comets and several arena football sports teams[6] until they vacated the arena in favor of the new Toyota Center in downtown Houston. Additionally, the arena was a prime Houston venue for popular music concerts and special events such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, the Harlem Globetrotters, Sesame Street Live and Disney on Ice.[7]
It hosted the NBA Finals on four different occasions: 1981, 1986, 1994 and 1995. In 1994 and 1995, the then-Summit was the site of the deciding games in the championship series and of the ensuing celebrations. The Summit was also host to championship teams from 1997-2000 when the Houston Comets won the WNBA title for four consecutive years.
It held the World Wrestling Federation's Royal Rumble on January 15, 1989.[8] This was the first time the Royal Rumble was televised on pay-per-view (PPV). The Rumble was won by Big John Studd. It also served as the location for the No Way Out of Texas PPV in 1998 as well as Bad Blood (the first brand-exclusive PPV) on June 15, 2003. It also showed a special 9/11 live edition of SmackDown! on September 13, 2001.
Prior to the construction of Toyota Center, the Summit was the principal Houston venue for large pop and rock music concerts.
The first major rock concert at The Summit was when The Who began the US leg of their North American tour on November 20, 1975.[5] The concert was recorded, later released in 2012, as The Who: Live in Texas '75 and was heavily bootlegged. It is also featured on the "30 Years of Maximum R&B" DVD set.
On October 31, 1976, Parliament-Funkadelic performed at the Summit during the P-Funk Earth Tour. The performance was recorded and released, as The Mothership Connection – Live from Houston in 1986 and later rereleased on DVD, as George Clinton: The Mothership Connection in 1998. A DVD of one of the opening acts, Bootsy's Rubber Band, was also released by P-Vine records.
Led Zeppelin performed an acclaimed and extensively bootlegged concert, on May 21, during their record-setting 1977 U.S. Tour.[9]
Aerosmith performed two shows during their Draw the Line Tour, on June 24–25, 1977, where they were noticeably intoxicated, as well as an acclaimed and heavily bootleged show, during their Permanent Vacation Tour, on February 15, 1988 and later recorded the live portions of their "Blind Man" music video, during their Get a Grip Tour, on September 30, 1994.[10]
In September 1977 the band KISS played two sold-out shows. The presentations were recorded and are part of the first volume Kissology
Queen recorded and filmed a heavily bootlegged concert at this venue on December 11, 1977, during their News of the World Tour. This concert is considered one of their best bootleg recordings.[11]
The Linda Ronstadt concert footage from the 1978 film FM, was recorded here.
Genesis' performance on October 22, 1978 was recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour.[10]
On December 8, 1978, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's show, during their Darkness Tour, was released in DVD format in 2010, as part of The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story box set.[12]
On June 30, 1979, The Bee Gees performed during their Spirits Having Flown Tour. A bearded John Travolta joined them onstage, during "You Should Be Dancing", reprising his dance steps from Saturday Night Fever.
Journey performed during their Escape Tour on November 5–6, 1981, the show on the 6th was recorded and later released as a CD/DVD package, entitled Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour, in November 2005.
Prince performed during the Controversy Tour[12] on December 9, 1981, with The Time as his opening act. It was the biggest venue he had performed in thus far.
Michael Jackson performed 3 sold out concerts in April,1988 during his Bad World Tour.
Mötley Crüe performed during their Welcome to the Theatre of Pain Tour on October 4, 1985. Some of the original video for "Home Sweet Home" was filmed during the show. They performed the song twice that night, apparently to get more video footage.
Stevie Nicks performed during The Other Side of the Mirror Tour on October 5, 1989, with The Hooters as her opening act. The music video for "Whole Lotta Trouble" was filmed and the rest of the concert was recorded for a radio broadcast.
Madonna performed 2 sold out concerts at the venue on May 4 and 5, 1990 during her Blond Ambition Tour.
Paul McCartney performed during his Back in the U.S. Tour on October 13, 2002, which marked his first performance here in 26 years, since Wings' famous Wings Over America Tour on May 4, 1976.[13]
ZZ Top's final stop on their Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers Tour, on November 22, 2003, was the last ever concert performed live at the arena, before it was renovated into a church.[5]
From vacancy to Lakewood Church[edit]
In 1998, it became the first Houston sports arena to sell its naming rights. The Arena Operating Company entered into a five-year, $900,000 per year deal with then Houston-based Compaq Computer Corporation to change the name of the venue from The Summit to Compaq Center, keeping that name even after the acquisition of Compaq by Hewlett-Packard in 2002 (there was another arena named the Compaq Center in San Jose, California around this time, but has since been renamed the SAP Center). The length of the agreement was significant, because in 2003 the lease that Arena Operating Company held on Compaq Center would expire, and the tenants of the building were lobbying vigorously for the construction of a new downtown venue to replace the aging and undersized arena.
When the sports teams moved to the new Toyota Center in 2003, the City of Houston leased the arena to Lakewood Church, a megachurch, which invested $95 million in renovations to convert the arena into the current configuration of seats and rooms for its needs; the renovations took over 15 months to complete, and the renovations included adding five stories to add more capacity.[14] During the lease, Lakewood Church had an exclusive agreement with the City of Houston for use of the former Summit, and as such, invested heavily in the structure for its use.[5] In 2001, the church signed a 30 year lease with the city.[15]
In March 2010, the church announced that it would buy the campus outright from the city of Houston for $7.5 million, terminating the lease after 7 years.[16] Marty Aaron, a real estate appraiser, said that while an "untrained eye" would "wonder how Lakewood Church purchased the Compaq Center for $7.5 million, when this is not really an arms-length sale from the city to Lakewood Church." Aaron explained that the church "put a phenomenal amount of money into the facility after the lease was initially structured, and it's really not fair that someone else would get the benefit of that." Aaron added that converting the property to a stadium-oriented facility "would probably cost as much or more than it took to turn it into a church, and right now there are probably not very many organizations that would be willing to step forward and do that."[15] The Houston City Council was scheduled to vote on the matter on Wednesday March 24, 2010.[17] City council delayed the vote.[18] On March 30 of that year, Ronald Green, the city's chief financial officer, said that he approved of the sale of the building.[19] On March 31, 2010 the Houston City Council voted 13-2 to sell the property to Lakewood.[20]

Our estate Margarita Vineyard is blessed with five distinct soil zones—ancient sea bed, sedimentary, shale, volcanic and granitic—and an extended growing season orchestrated by the nearby Pacific Ocean.
As the only vineyard in its vicinity, Margarita Vineyard stands alone in benefitting from these extraordinary growing conditions, producing fruit with inherent balance, natural complexity and rich varietal flavors.
Margarita Vineyard resides in the historic Santa Margarita Ranch, which was first planted to vines by Franciscan missionaries in 1780. The name Ancient Peaks is a tribute to the vineyard's geologic heritage, which is most evident in the towering mountains that preside over the vines. The ancient tectonic forces behind these peaks gave rise to the complex soils and marine-cooled terrain that distinguish our wines.

Between 2009 and 2010, employees at Jiangmen Yi Xin Tanning Company Limited ("Yi Xin") have planted nearly 2,000 larch seedlings on the mountain slopes surrounding their factory. The company has focused on planting as a means of creating a greener environment, preventing the loss of soil and water, reducing noise and providing workers with a green as well as comfortable working environment. The commitment is showing good progress, as those larch seedlings have grown into a forest little by little.
Yi Xin tree planting volunteers
This past March, a group of employees and volunteers converged once again at the foot of the mountain for another day of planting. It had been more than two years since the first tree-planting activity, and the weeds growing up around the mountain were as tall as the larches.
In spite of the cold weather, the volunteers still worked with high passion, divided into many groups and assigned with different tasks. Some of us took out weeds, while others removed dead wood. We wielded our sickles, spades and hoes with big smiles on our faces, while the sweat drenched us. Under our great efforts, the landscape surrounding our factory became greener and greener; it was satisfying to be able to put our environmental passion into action within our own community.
We look forward to planting more trees and continuing to improve the natural environment and our factory environment in the future.

UC Davis, also referred to as "UCD," "The College", "Campus", or "University of California, Davis" (on official documents), is the institute of higher education that impacts most everything in our bucolic town. UC Davis is virtually a city within a city, unbound by most City of Davis rules — in fact, campus provides its own infrastructure including water supply, streets, sanitation, airport, police force and fire department. In fact, it is the largest employer in Yolo County, by a wide margin, employing 11,704 "full-time equivalents" with an additional 1,289 season FTEs (2011 Sacramento Business Journal figures). But the university is not immune to its impact on the city around it, so great effort is made to reach agreement with city leaders and the local population to ensure a relatively comfortable town-gown relationship. Both city leaders and university officials work together as often as they fight to work in the best interests of both citizens, students, and campus. To find out where to go and what to do at UCD, see our Campus page.
UC Davis from Above, March 2005
UC Davis has four colleges and six professional schools. There are 103 undergraduate majors and 80 graduate groups with these figures fluctuating annually. Each program of study is managed by a university department. The university is run by UCD administrative officers and hardworking university staff. Classes are frequently taught by tenured professors, which is unusual in research universities — only a few courses are taught by lecturers or graduate students. And when you're done with school, check out the UCD Commencement page.
As recently as 1996, UC Davis was ranked third amongst UC campuses in US News and World Report's annual ranking of universities. Since then, UC San Diego has taken over the enviable position of "third most prestigious UC." In fact, schools like UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara have ranked higher than UC Davis in recent years. Though many believe the UC Regents have a plan to make Davis the next flagship campus like Berkeley or UCLA, there is no documented evidence of this — but perhaps that is what the 2020 Initiative is aiming for. What is certain is that a planned expansion of the undergraduate student body resulted in a less rigorous admissions policy for much of the 2000s. In recent years, however, Davis has become increasingly selective and has risen in the rankings, with the 2008 US News and World Report ranking UC Davis 4th among the UC's.
In 2011, U.S. News & World Report ranked UC Davis 9th among public national universities and 38th overall, in 2012 it was ranked 8th among public national universities, and in 2013 it was ranked 9th among public national universities. This Dateline article has more rankings for 2011. Interestingly, in 2011 UCD was also ranked 38th in the World University Rankings by done by the London-based magazine Times Higher Education.
UC Davis is consistently ranked by the Sierra Club's Sierra magazine as one of the top ten of "America's Coolest Schools" (an annual ranking of the greenest colleges in the United States). In 2011, it was ranked #8. In 2012, it was ranked #1! In 2013, it was ranked #4.

The early history of UC Davis can be read in the University Farm entry. Other high points can be found at the UC Davis timeline.
Seven Egghead sculptures can be found around campus.
UC Davis is a land grant university, and retains a lot of land for agricultural and environmental study. UC Davis' campus covers 5300 acres. For those of you in the science or engineering fields, that's 21.5 km2 (8.3 square miles or 2150 hectares). Most of campus west of Highway 113 (termed West Campus) consists of open fields used for agricultural, biological, and environmental studies; West Campus also includes the Primate Center and university airport. There is also a chunk of land to the south in Solano County, South Campus, that holds the California Raptor Center, UCD's sewer plant, and a variety of animal and agricultural research facilities.
Most of the action at UC Davis takes place within "central campus", east of the Highway 113. Here you'll find most campus buildings, laboratories, and administrative offices.
Most of campus is extremely flat, which makes it easy to ride bicycles along our many bike paths. Riding a bike or taking a stroll through the beautiful Arboretum is a excellent tour for visitors.
UC Davis has Four Undergraduate Colleges and Five Graduate Schools in which students can earn degrees.

In 2006, UC Davis was ranked #10 among U.S. universities in terms of contributions to society by Washington Monthly; in 2011, it was ranked #8.
Professors at UC Davis have been awarded Ig Nobel Prizes
The term "UC Davis" (specifically with no space and no periods between U and C) was designated by the central Communications office in the early 90's(?) as the official way to refer to the university.
The address One Shields Avenue is a fictitious address that was established by agreement between the US Postal Service and UC Davis about 1990(?). US mail goes directly to the central Mail Division and is sorted by department/division/unit for further distribution.

There are two freeway exits for UC Davis:

Driving from Sacramento International Airport, take Interstate 5 northbound until you reach Highway 113 in Woodland. To get on the 113 southbound, you'll have to exit on Main Street, take a left, drive forward about 1/2 mile, and take another left onto the freeway. Take Highway 113 south until you reach Hutchison Drive.
Visitors and prospective students can take a free campus tour.

Musings, observations and opinion on food from a Southern Tasmanian perspective

The pesimissm salve
Turn on the tellie and it all becomes a bit overwhelming at times. Tune in to the radio and immerse yourself in a pool of aural stress. Flick through the papers and feel your stomach tighten with anxiety. Cock an ear to conversations fizzing all around you, each a fetid tribulation to a bubbling and noxious ferment of brewing distress.
I don't know about you but I've lost a bit of skin lately in this high stakes game.
Constant negativism is grinding me down.
I've always been an optimistic person but issues of late are testing my resolve.
A wise person once said to me: 'Steve stop reading the bloody papers, are they enriching your life or are they chipping away at it?'
Hmmm, that one came from left field!
I have a theory that negativism begets negativism. So, today as the sun awashes our beautiful valley in glorious rays, causing it to sparkle at its verdant edges, it's difficult to remain downbeat whilst basking in such a gift, an unsullied start to a new day.
All bets are off, as I take my first baby steps towards shaking off this heavy coat of pessimism. Enjoy the day.

Nice post. Yesterday's glorious sun and fresh air helped me too. It's hard to feel down when you're out and about in paradise. I tell you, if I didn't work in PR I would turn off the news tap for good. I stopped watching TV news a while ago as it just made me feel angry, but can't unplug from the rest (yet).

A little after 10:00 p.m., and a serial killer is getting ready to make his move. He has watched and waited for this moment for some time.
He watches his victim get out of a cab and dig in his pockets for money. Two of his children run out to the porch to greet their daddy. The killer presses a button and watches as the victim, the taxi driver and the two children are vaporized. Other people in the house, the man's wife, parents and three other children are badly injured and burnt by the high explosive.
The house next door partially collapses, killing an elderly woman and injuring her grandson. But this is just the beginning.
Neighbors and emergency personnel arrive and begin trying to help the victims. There is chaos…children screaming, people wailing and the cries of the burnt and injured. Several people are trapped under rubble.
When enough people have gathered, the killer presses the button again. Fifteen seconds later, all those at the scene are vaporized or blown to shreds. The killer high-fives his partner. In two hours he will be off work! They are planning on driving in to Las Vegas, have some cocktails, maybe pick up some girls.

Christmas is a time to move into the world of
images and dreams, a time to allow the 'make
believe' happen. Let us be still and reflective.
What can we learn from the Christmas story? I believe that just as Jesus seemed to be aware of the Divine Spark (or Christ) presence within him, which allowed him to love almost unreservedly and break boundaries, so too we are invited to see this Divine Spark within ourselves. God is literally with us. And isn't this what we need in today's world, where we see atrocities and tragedies such as the ones I listed above? If each of us were to acknowledge our inner divinity, and then recognize our neighbour's inner divinity – regardless of their religious beliefs or non-beliefs – would we then see larger stepping stones toward global peace?read more
If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death (or shall I say death implies life?), you can feel yourself – not as a stranger in the world, not as something here unprobational, not as something that has arrived here by fluke – but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.read more
I am greater than my thinking
Or the follies of my heart,
I can grow in self awareness
That promotes a brand new start,
Incremental steps are where the transformed life occurs. One wholesome meal, followed by another. One time of choosing family first. One act of kindness. One act of self-restraint in the face of provocation. One assignment done carefully.read more
True religion is, at its core, nothing more or less than a call to live fully, to love wastefully and to be all that we can be. That is finally where life's meaning is found. All else is background music."read more
When we discern Earth's fractured face,
When parts diverge to form extremes,
Can joining hands suffice to build
A world fulfilling Gospel dreams?
While Luke's narrative, the most detailed account of the birth of Jesus, is lyrical and inspiring, in the Birth of Jesus, Spong persuasively demonstrates it is allegory. Layer by layer, Spong weighs every element of the New Testament stories against Old Testament legends building a convincing case. Spong's essays step backward and forward through the scriptures demonstrating why each element was chosen by the early CE writers to establish Jesus' lineage and divinity. It is a fascinating and persuasive journey and a remarkable illustration of Biblical scholarship.read more
Theme: Dreamtime Reality — Season of Hope

To travel hopefully is the mark of a pilgrim. To believe one has arrived is the mark of the insecure.
O Ultimate mystery,

awaken the child within us
A few years back a book called The Secret took the world by storm, and it is still prominently displayed on the shelves of most bookstores today. The message of the book was to invoke the laws of attraction and intention to attain a life and circumstances that we desired. And because of its popularity I was compelled to grab a copy to see what all the hype was about. I wondered how a book could really promise those kinds of results, and why so many people were swearing by its results. And then it hit me that the best selling book of all time really isn't all that different. And this got me to wondering if Jesus and King David may have been teaching us this same "secret" thousands of years prior?read more
Through the ages, we have called upon the One for Whom we yearn in countless ways, through myriad names. The term, "The Beloved" embraces all of these names and forms of the Divine, affirming their Unity. Beloved is also a 4 day camping, art, and music festival on the Oregon Coast. We intend to present sacred music to help eradicate the illusion of separation from each other, from the earth and from The Beloved.read more

Top 10 Reasons to Play 3 vs. 3 or Pond Hockey this Summer
- It's a skills-based game, played in tight spaces at a fast pace, forcing you to quickly improve your skills to adapt.
- Less space equals less time equals quicker decisions.
- The smaller space and speed increase puck handling, creativity, puck movement and communication skills.
- Allows for team play with transition from offense to defense and defense to offense.
- Awareness of on-ice positioning.
- Goalies are always in the play facing more shots and requiring more movement, which helps conditioning, awareness and positioning.
- Players that are not scorers get the opportunity to touch the puck more and get that confidence.
- Players used to playing offense get to play and appreciate the defensive side of the game and defensive players get to be more creative on the offensive side of the game.
- No better way to get ready for the upcoming season!
- It is the most fun you will have playing the game of hockey as you work hard and compete to improve your overall game.
