It was decided at a meeting in July to turn over to the Chancellor this amount and to make an effort to have those pledges redeemed. Mrs. Sarah Cobb Baxter was appointed to undertake this thankless task and the club is deeply indebted to her for the result. She collected $660.00 -- remember from verbal pledges five years old -- making $2,000.00 that the club gave to the work.

Compact fluorescent 6500K help :*)
I just started my my winter green thumb. Being the person that I am, I wanted to figure out what made a grow light a grow light. After not to much reading I found out that a lot of grow light jargon is just marketing hype. Anyway...
So I read that I needed to calculate watts/ft.sq. Then lumens/ft.sq., then micromoles/meter sq. now I am at PAR/meter sq. AGGGhhhh, I mean the science is fun but at some point I want to figure out how much light I need to provide my Asiatic lily seedlings with :*)
Right now I have a 6500k 23watt(1700 lumen) CFL on the seedlings. Honestly I am confused at the moment how many CFL's I will need to get the job done? I was looking at 65 to 85watt cfls.
Can someone please help me out of this light vortex so I can get some sleep? :*O
Micromoles/meter sq. and PAR/meter sq would be lovely but you aren't going to get the data so you might as well forget them. Where the data actually is published, it is not standardised, not reliable, and really little more than a marketing gimic. Lumens are less than perfect but really the only practical measurement you will have. Even some lumen claims are exaggerated but the values are fairly easy to check and data from the main brands is reliable. Given that most fluorescent tubes produce about the same lumens/W, give or take 20%, even watts/ft sq is adequate. Low power CFLs tend to be at or below the lower range of lumens/W so don't skimp on the power. Which CFL do you have? 1700 lumens is typically the output of the 26W bulbs. Do you have a 2/4 pin type rather than one of the self-ballasted ones?
So your first question should be how much light do your seedlings need. I don't know, but I'm guessing more or less full sun would be good? That means you should be looking in the range of 3,000-5,000 lumens/ft sq, which isn't as intense as full sun but the lights will be at full intensity for the whole day and probably longer than a typical summer day. That equates to about 40W/ft sq with good fluorescent tubes, or 60W/ft sq with small CFLs, provided you have a good reflector arrangement to focus most of the lighto onto the seedlings.
OOoops brain slip I have 26 watts 6500k. The seedlings are suggested to be grown in filtered sunlight(light shade)I think. I thought I read that equator @ high noon is 10,000 lumens/sq.ft.? What would that put the midwest at?
Thanks for your help shrubs :*)
Yes, noon direct sun is generally taken to be 10,000 foot-candles, and close enough to that anywhere in summer. You will not achieve that with fluorescent lighting and don't need to. Sunlight in the morning and evening is not so intense and what your artificial light provides is like morning sun for a straight 16 hours. It works, trust me :)
Are you talking about low power metal halide bulbs like 26W or 50W? They are actually less efficient even than a CFL. Metal Halide lamps don't reach high efficiencies until about 400W or more. Even at their best, modern fluorescent tubes are about equally efficient, so metal halides are really restricted to very large scale applications requiring very high light intensity or very large coverage.
Given the "light shade" definition, I think you should aim for 1,000fc to start out, maybe 2,000fc for growing on larger seedlings. That would be about 20W/sq ft going up to as much as 40W/sq ft with CFLs, a little less with larger more efficient fluorescents. Once you have the plants growing it becomes very easy to judge whether you have sufficient light.
I suppose if you just have one pot of seedlings then a cfl might be the best way to go ... but if you have something with more surface area, such as a tray of seedlings, then I would use an overdriven shop light or two. Have you read the thread on them here?
I just got my light set up for this winter and it floods a seed tray with light from all angles ... I took two 4' shop lights and cut them down to 3' and hung them side by side ... I am ready to grow!
That's kind of like my situation ... I want to grow a seed tray or two indoors this winter in a 3' wide area. Based on what I've read here, I bought a couple of 4' shop lights with electronic ballasts at Lowes and shortened them to 3'.
Check about 25 or 30 topics down here ... the thread titled "I have found the BEST cheap flourescent ballast/fixture - cont'd". Most of the thread is about making the 4' fixtures brighter, but what I did was cut a foot off the reflector and create a 3' shop light. It lights up one seed tray with light to spare, and if I want to grow two trays I can swap them out every 12 hours.
I don't believe that a CFL would do as well. I think it would probably light up the middle of one tray.
I posted a picture of my new lights on the test forum. You can see how a seed tray would be all lit up! It was only a week ago that I built them. I used a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel.
Here is a link that might be useful: picture of light on test gallery ...
Results of driving a 3' tube with a ballast for a 4' tube will vary. In the worst case it may not work at all.
If you have a space shorter than 4', I would strongly recommend the 96W compact fluorescents which are 36" long (also shorter forms in lower powers). You are unlikely to get better results by reverse-engineering from a shoplight. Unfortunately, many suppliers are hydro or aquarium stores that choose to market this as a premium product with a premium price. If you have the skills to consider cutting down or overdriving a shoplight you probably have the skills to source a 96W ballast and stick it in some kind of reflector.
I once bought a kit like that from ahsupply.com ... two 96w cfl lamps and a ballast and reflectors. It's real bright but the thing is, the kit and two bulbs cost over $180, and when the bulbs burn out it costs $60 to replace them. I also have a 100 watt metal halide grow light but, again, it was expensive and the bulbs are expensive (and the mh light has such a "hot spot" and doesn't light a tray evenly).
I went to Lowes a couple of weeks ago and they had standard 3' fluorescent bulbs marked down to fifty cents, so what was I to do? I had read here that some shop light electronic ballasts would drive a 3' lamp, even a 2' lamp, so I bought a couple of shop lights and I tried it and it works. I spent about $40 total, and replacement bulbs are affordable (probably won't find any more for fifty cents though).
BTW, have you looked at grow lights on eBay? I've seen some pretty nice fluorescents there, cfl and overdriven t12 and t8 ... but it's hard to find a 3' fixture, most are 2' or 4'.

HOT SPRINGS – After the inclement weather that shut down central Arkansas the day after Christmas, the Spa City Shootout commenced a day later than the original Thursday start. With almost 10 inches of snow blanketing the state in some areas, the snow must have covered the basketball rims at Summit Arena in Hot Springs on Friday as the Hot Springs Lady Trojans bested the Bryant Lady Hornets 46-34, where both teams shot a combined 30 percent from the field.

Senior point guard Bryan Torres scored a season-high 18 points, hitting 3 of 6 from 3-point range and 5 of 5 from the free-throw line to pace the Panthers. "I thought Bryan Torres played his best game of the year," Benton Coach Chris Nail said. "He shot the ball real well last night."

Chiguy, I think the Guinness does really taste much better over there. I noticed it on the first sip. An Irish friend of mine claims that they actually dehydrate the Guinness that is shipped to America so that it is cheaper to transport. The water is then added back into the semi solid Guinness paste once it gets to America.

Health centers across the nation, Bice says, are experimenting with approaches to cutting costs in order to survive. "Some have cut back services," she reports, "and some have closed sites."
Committed to the idea that the need to provide subsidized health care is more pressing than ever, local health-care organizations that serve the indigent are trying different strategies to improve their own fiscal health. "There's absolutely no question we can't expect the federal dollar to continue to take care of what we're not getting reimbursement for -- all those people who have nothing," declares Beverly Press, executive director for the past twenty years of the Stanley C. Myers Community Health Center in Miami Beach. "Now we know that throughout the United States the message is loud and clear -- you must seek alternative funding, you must survive, and you must start getting business-astute. But our mission stays the same, and there are more to serve."
Press and the directors of several health-care nonprofits in Dade are banding together to form their own HMO as a way to pool resources and cut costs. And Family Health Center became a founding member two years ago of an association called Health Choice Network, a coalition of seven organizations formed as a co-op to share information, equipment, and purchasing, as well as to negotiate contracts with providers of specialized medical services.
Of course, there have been cutbacks, as well. Since this time last year, the number of Family Health Center case managers working with HIV-positive clients has been decreased by half. This coincides not with a drop in the number of HIV-positive clients, but with layoffs in the center's primary health-care departments. Many staffers, however, point out that with all the mid- and lower-level firings, administrators and supervisors didn't suffer nearly as much. Salaries weren't reduced, they allege; some managers even got raises.
Jessie Trice says she and her vice presidents haven't had raises in the past few years. But she refused to back up that statement by making public the center's records. The only document she would supply was an outdated list of salaries over $50,000, which was filed (as required) with the IRS last year. The current forms, Trice says, have not been completed. (In 1994 Trice's reported salary was $98,390; her vice presidents earned between $55,000 and $80,000.)
Former staffers also complain of favoritism, and worse. "There's so much nepotism," says one ex-staffer who requested anonymity. "Somebody walks in, they don't have a degree, they end up being in a managerial position. It's just gotten worse and worse: This one's daughter, that one's son. I had not seen anything like that in my adult career. Trice's daughter was working as a case manager. She was damn good. But when you get federal dollars, you sign an agreement that you won't do that. A lot of people in the community have a lot of resentment toward this agency, and one reason is because a lot of people there have caste-type attitudes -- it's absolutely pervasive."
Generally, nepotism is supposed to be avoided at agencies that receive federal funding. But each contract has its own rules that in some cases allow relatives to work in the same office. Trice says Family Health Center's policy manual doesn't mention nepotism. She confirms that, besides her daughter, her nephew and her grandson and his fiancee all were employed in various capacities at the center but no longer work there. Relatives who remain include her daughter-in-law (who met Trice's son after being hired) and Frankie Swain's nephew. "That may be something I need to look at more closely," she comments. "To be candid, I have not."
Sugar Hill comprises almost a block on the west side of NW 14th Place at 71st Street: five one- and two-story buildings in various stages of construction or renovation. The residents of these 23 apartments will not be ordinary tenants. They will have AIDS, and they will have qualified for a rent subsidy under the HOPWA program. Family Health Center began this $2.3 million project three years ago, and the agency has been deflecting criticism ever since.
AIDS patients generally express reservations about the location, an inhospitable section of town that has been decayed and drug-infested for years. (It's relatively close, though, to some of the offices where they go for food vouchers, bus passes, and medical care.) Many AIDS sufferers worry that the Sugar Hill complex will immediately become known in the neighborhood as the "AIDS apartments," deepening their sense of alienation.
"They're creating AIDS ghettos," thunders Luke Balboa, executive director of PWAC and an opponent of Sugar Hill. Balboa and other critics say it's not so much the AIDS label on the housing that bothers them but the location and the price tag, and the fact that in 1993 then-Miami city commissioner Miller Dawkins got his colleagues to set aside a big chunk of HOPWA money for permanent AIDS housing -- thus reducing the amount available for rental assistance. (With Dawkins now awaiting sentencing after owning up to federal corruption charges, PWAC has successfully lobbied the commission to move much of the money back into rentals).
Family Health Center administrators and city officials say Sugar Hill should be ready by the end of the year. But early this summer they expected it to open in August; before that the target date was November 1995. And from the looks of the construction site, it may take at least another six months. One of the biggest problems came to light this past May when the contractor, Tecina International, declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. (The firm is still on the job; a smaller but similar HOPWA-funded Tecina venture overseen by a different agency is also late.)

This is an exceptional blanket. The quality of this blanket is outstanding. It's very warm and soft and a great layering piece for my bed. I got the multi color blanket and the colors are very nice together. Would definitly recommend this blanket to anyone.
This blanket is a great weight (medium), very soft and attractive. It had an unpleasant new smell when I opened the package so I immediately washed it. I washed it on my machine's most gentle cycle and then put it in the dryer on low until it was about half way dry then hung it up to finish drying. It came out even softer and there was very little lint in the dryer filter.
Love this blanket! Very soft and good quality. Would recommend.
This blanket is wonderful. Soft, warm, and washes great. I never had a nicer blanket.
I bought this blanket for my dad who is 83yo and has just started to have health issues in his life. He enjoys the comfort of the blanket while in bed.
I have some large fleece throws made by this company. I love Ibena, and this blanket did not disappoint! Highly recommend. Not a real thick blanket, but great for us. Want to buy one for my guest room now.
I've had several summer blankets, always ended up snagged. This is tight weave, not too heavy. Please follow directions, I did wash b4 use, lots of lint in dryer trap. If you're looking for the "just right" summer blanket, try this one. Not too heavy, not too light, just right!
It was not as heavy as I hoped it would be, however the quality is excellent and works.
Very well made, soft and warm, not too hot. Would make a nice gift.
Very nice blanket. Well made. Ive seen a few reviewers say the blanket is enough for cold nights. Since I tend to be a coldy, I dont necessarily agree with this, but would definitely recommend the blanket for great quality and texture. It's super soft! And looks great on the bed!!

As peace becomes more possible, the more the criminals – the drug runners, the bullies, the extortionists – feel threatened.
Innovation is the key word here and I unreservedly endorse the top runner principle in Amendment 96.
So it is right that the international community should take action and that the European Union should be amongst the front-runners.
Splitting runners.

Mr Zalm, the Liberal front runner in the elections and a former Dutch minister, is now saying that it was a mistake to split up NS and ProRail.
Innovation is the key word here and I unreservedly endorse the top runner principle in Amendment 96.
The European Commission has been a front-runner in developing modern tools, such as the Eurobarometer surveys, for analysing public opinion.
So it is right that the international community should take action and that the European Union should be amongst the front-runners.

Updated | After an executive search which has taken nearly five months Oil Search has made an internal appointment, naming Stephen Gardiner its new chief financial officer.
He is returning to the role of CFO at Oil Search, having previously acted in it for nearly 18 months prior to the appointment of Zlatko Tordorcevski in June 2009. Gardiner says he "would have been happy to be considered for the role back in 2009".
Gardiner joined the company in 2004. In April 2011, he was appointed to the role of executive general manager, corporate sustainability and services.
So why didn't he get the job back in June?
"I wasn't privy to that decision-making process," he says. But he didn't need to jump through the hoops of a formal recruitment. "I've been with the company for nine years and acted in the role before, the board understood my capabilities."
The new CFO doesn't expect dropping the "acting" from his title will have much impact on his day-to-day job. "I had the authority I needed in the acting capacity to make the changes I needed, so confirming the role doesn't make a big difference," he says. Over the course of the four and a half months Gardiner has been acting CFO he has finished putting together a new revolving corporate credit facility for $US500 million.
His top priority at the moment is preparing budgets and funding plans for 2013, as the company has a very active capital expenditure program for the year ahead. The funding outlook for 2013 is not very different to the past year. "Oil Search will continue to asses different markets, although we are happy with the existing capital structure and don't see a need to look outside fairly standard debt financing options should need arise," he says.
Gardiner will remain group secretary, a role he has held since May 2009.
Prior to joining Oil Search, Gardiner held senior finance roles at CSR and Pioneer International.

You know when you go to the store to get brown shoes you need for work, but end up getting another pair of running shoes. Not because you necessarily need them, but because they were a great deal and cool. That's about how this story goes.
Ok, I just recently decided to offer up my S&W 908 as trade fodder. Yes, I know to some that is a bit of blasphemy. It's a really handy gun; reliable, accurate, and easy to carry. My original writeup of the 908 is here on my blog. I had moved up from 9mm to .40s&w and started carrying a Walther P99c which is a fantastic gun. My wife picked our Sig P239 as hers over the S&W which I can't blame her for (the Sig just "feels" better) so I didn't have a real use for another single stack 9mm. The one thing we don't have in our arsenal is a hi-cap handgun (brown shoes). So off goes my search for a trade.
I was this " close to getting a 5906 which is almost exactly what I needed; large, 15+1 capacity, familiar manual of arms, heavy but soft shooting 9mm... Then I get an offer for a Glock 36 (running shoes)!
Hmmm..."what should I do?"
"I don't 'need' another CCW piece..."
"It doesn't make 'sense' to have to stock another caliber (it would be my 1st .45)."
"I'm not a Glock guy...am I?"
"The single stack grip does fit my hand well."
"It points much better for me than any other Glock I've tried."
"It IS a .45!"
"Glocks are notorious for their durability & ease of maintenance."
"Lima just got one..."
Ok, sold!
I've yet to make it to the range (car needs front brakes/rotors), but I'll leave you with a couple parting shots.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE- Anti-Muslim hate crimes in Cambridgeshire have tremendously increased after Woolwich attack last May, according to Police records, prompting calls to annihilate racial acts in UK.
"These are disturbing figures relating to despicable crimes often driven by no other motive than the fact that the victim has different religious beliefs or a different color skin," Julian Huppert, Cambridge MP was quoted by Cambridge News on Monday, January 20.
"It's very sad that some people can't see beyond those differences to treat everybody equally and find out the individual qualities that everybody has.
UK Islamophobic Attacks Surge in 2013
UK Imam Loses Eye in Racial Attack
UK Muslims Fear Extremism Backlash
"I hope that eventually we will be able to eradicate these horrendous crimes and celebrate our differences," Huppert added.
Revealing the numbers of racial and religious hate crimes since 2011, police have reported soaring anti-Muslim hate crimes in Cambridgeshire over the past months.
The figure has changed dramatically after the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich.
Within the two months, following the solider killing, about 86% of faith hate crimes in the county have targeted Muslims, falling victim to 12 out of total 14 crimes.
The figures were striking if compared to the only two anti-Muslim hate crimes recorded within six-month period before Lee Rigby's killing in May 2013.
In September 2013, about 15 anti-Muslim hate crimes were recorded, compared with three in the same month in 2012 and nine in 2011.
Hundreds of anti-Muslim hate offences have been carried out across UK in 2013, with Britain's Metropolitan police recording an increase of 49% than last year.
The Metropolitan Police recorded 500 Islamophobic offences from January to mid-November this year, compared with 336 offences in 2012 and 318 in 2011.
In May alone, the month when two Islamic extremists murdered soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London, Scotland Yard recorded 104 anti-Muslim hate crimes, followed by another 108 in June.
New Tactics
Condemning racial and religious hate crimes, members of Cambridgeshire are demanding rigid punishments and new tactics to curb these attacks.
"All forms of hate crime are completely unacceptable," said Sgt Matt Gadsby, from the Community Cohesion Unit.
"In Cambridge city last year we dealt with 94 recorded hate crimes and detected 59 of those offences in a range of outcomes from caution to imprisonment.
"We have also sought to use a number of other tactics in targeting hate crime, such as the anti-social behavior order granted in August against David Camp," he added.
Urging victims to report hate crimes, Gadsby said, "We take all reports extremely seriously and want to give victims every confidence to report incidents."
Pointing to the positive indicators of hate crimes depression in Cambridgesgire, Gadsby said: "Hate crime in the city for December was at its lowest level since January 2012."
"We have an excellent relationship with both the Muslim and wider communities in Cambridge which is enhanced by having officers dedicated to both community and faith engagement," he added.
Britain is home to a sizable Muslim minority of nearly 2.7 million.
British Muslims and mosques have been potential targets for dozens of attacks after the killing of a British soldier in Woolwich, south London, last May.
British Muslims have condemned the machete killing as contradicting with the basic teachings of Islam.
Yet, the number of anti-Islamic attacks has increased as much as tenfold in the days that followed the Woolwich murder of Drummer Lee Rigby.

EOS Bodies / Re: More Coverage of the Canon EOS M
« on: July 23, 2012, 07:45:57 PM »The lens on the G1X is really high quality, according to some reviewers it's as good as an L grade lens
Interesting, then, that Canon's technical spokesman, Chuck Westfall, characterized the performance of the G1 X's lens as being similar to the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. I haven't read reviews suggesting that lens delivers IQ equal to L-series lenses...
The MTF curves of the two new lenses are on Canon's Web site, and they look quite encouraging. At the least, they shouldn't be any worse than the Shorty McForty -- and that's already a damned high standard for a cheap consumer lens.

Bringing particle physics to life: build your own cloud chamberSubmitted by rau on 29 April 2010
Here we demonstrate how to bring particle physics to life in the classroom, using possibly the simplest type of particle detector: a continuously sensitive diffusion cloud chamber. This homemade version consists simply of an airtight fish tank full of air and alcohol vapour, cooled to a very low temperature, which can be used to detect charged particles, particularly cosmic ray muons, if they have enough energy. Elementary particles Elementary particles are the simplest elements from which everything is made. They are not just the building blocks of matter and radiation, but also give rise to the interactions between them (for more details of elementary particles, see Landua & Rau, 2008). These particles carry energy and momentum, and can thus be seen by detectors. Strictly speaking, you cannot directly see any particles – instead, their passage through detectors is inferred from the effects they cause, such as ionisation (for charged particles). That is precisely what we do when we observe the condensation trail left in the sky by an aeroplane that we cannot see – and what we can do with our homemade cloud chamber. The continuously sensitive diffusion cloud chamber
Assembly and operation Materials
What you can do with the chamber? In order to make the chamber really useful, we cannot limit ourselves to showing it and describing how it works. To support the explanation, we have prepared a short, simply written comic stripw1 (see below), showing how the chamber works and illustrating the origin and composition of cosmic rays through the story of a cosmic proton and its descendants.
Why not use the Science in School online discussion forum to exchange ideas about how to use the cloud chamber at school?

Review Cosmic rays consist of subatomic particles that come from space and strike Earth's atmosphere, creating a shower of secondary particles that can be studied at the Earth's surface. Students in secondary education can usually only read about those particles in books or study them through simulations – although the particles constantly pass through our bodies. Here, Francisco Barradas-Solas and Paloma Alameda-Meléndez present the idea that cloud chambers can be used by students as an experimental tool, enabling them to conduct their own investigations on radiation. They also provide details about the construction of a cloud chamber, equipment that can be built at school without too much difficulty, which enables students to observe these subatomic particles in the classroom by making their tracks visible.

How you can hear & smell whenever anyone goes to the bathroom. It by know means was worth $--- per night!
It was neat and clean. All staff members were very courteous and smiling.
The coffee pot did not work.
Loved the free breakfast, especially. Room was great, but we didn't spend much time there. The location was fantastic.
staff was outstanding. Upgraded us to a suite and treated great. Have been going here for a few yrs and its just keeps getting better.
Excellent customer service, friendly and helpful staff, very comfortable accommodations. Highly recommended.
I love the decor and the spaciousness of the rooms. The ski concierge and the lift adjacent to the hotel are both very convenient.
The resort is maze-like and the signage is difficult ti see. The carpets need an upgrade
Everything. I stay here often (approx 8 weekends during ski season), and I am treated as such. There is a warmth about this place that feels like home. The beds are heavenly, and having the ski valet and the lift right outside of the hotel make this place a complete package.
Great location within Vail Village. The lobby was beautiful and cozy, the rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable. Very comfortable bed, soft bedding and towels, nice robes. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Every morning there was coffee, tea, and several complimentary newspapers ready for you in the lobby. Every afternoon there was coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and fresh cookies waiting for you, as well as a roaring fire.
Can't think of anything. We enjoyed our stay that much!
In the middle of a great ski village, awesome views and great in summer as well
I wasn't able to access my room until after 4pm the day of check in. I was told I would be contacted once my room became available and I was never contacted. There was a nice bucket in my room but there was not an ice machine in the building. Staff was not accommodating.
The stay at the Marriott was excellent! Friendly staff, great accommodations and great location!
Noise next door due to construction - couldn't enjoy balcony.

You can browse our education projects below and use the tool on the left to filter the results
The FE sector is key for the education and training of current and future technicians. We are working with FE teachers to support planning and delivery of high-quality technical education.
The shortage of physics teachers in the classroom continues to be a significant concern. Over the last decade we have undertaken a substantial programme of work designed to recruit and retain high quality physics teachers.
We supported the Physics Enhancement Programme to increase the number of physics specialists entering teaching. The Programme enabled recruitment of those with different degrees by offering intensive physics courses before initial teacher teaching.
We have supported mentoring programmes for new physics and chemistry teachers, focusing on those teachers who are the only specialist in their schools. We have also commissioned evaluations of mentoring programmes for maths and science teachers.
We have developed a pilot route into physics teaching for those leaving the armed forces with relevant experience in engineering and other technical fields, but who do not have the university degree required for traditional entry to teacher training.
We are developing diagnostic tests to help define the subject knowledge required to be a specialist physics or chemistry teacher and to allow teachers to identify gaps in their own knowledge and find appropriate resources to address them.
Gatsby has worked with a variety of universities on a number of teacher training projects and piloted a range of innovative approaches to initial teacher education, with the overall target of improving the teaching of STEM subjects in schools.

The Dolphins open as a 3 point favorite over the St. Louis Rams. The first time all season that Miami is favored entering a game.
Bet that line goes up
This team is legit, I think it's incredible that they've had a lead in all 5 games this year. It will be a tough game, and I think if it was @STL we'd be in trouble, but we should be able to protect the house and come away with a W.
Philbin is an idiot.
The Rams have an extra 3 days to come up with a game plan. Jeff Fisher has those guys believing in what he is selling. They made the cardinals look really bad. This is going to be a really tough game. You can bet Steven Jackson has his eye on that 19 game "no 100 yard rusher" stat. This is a game we have to win the the turnover battle in the first half to get them out of what they want to do. This is a winnable game, but we can't think for a second that this is going to be an easy one.
I'm surprised the line is that close. The loss of Amendola is really going to hurt them. This is one game that could be a repeat of the Raiders game.
-Dan MarinoI just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.
We should put it to STL. I foresee a big game for Tanny.
I'm looking forward to a win.
Just win Phin baby!

From the internationally bestselling author of The Dressmaker comes an unforgettable novel about a young archaeologist who unearths ancient secrets, a tragic romance, and Viking treasure on a remote Scottish island.
One warm, rainy summer, Freya Dane, a PhD candidate in archaeology, arrives on the ancient Scottish island of Findnar. Estranged as a child from her recently dead father, himself an archaeologist, Freya yearns to understand more about the man, his work on the island, and why he left her mother so many years ago. It seems Michael Dane uncovered much of Findnar�s Viking and Christian past through his search for an illusive tomb, and Freya continues his work. The discoveries she is destined to make, far greater than her father�s, will teach her the true meaning of love and of loss.
AD 800, and a wandering comet, an omen of evil, shines down on Findnar. The fears of the locals are justified. In a Viking raid, Signy, a Pictish girl, loses her entire family. Taken in by survivors of the island�s Christian community, she falls in love with an injured Viking youth left behind by the raiders and is cast out. Confused and bereft, eventually she becomes a nun, a decision that will unleash tragedy as she is plunged into the heart of a war between three religions. Forced to choose among her ancestors� animist beliefs, her adopted faith, and the man she loves, Signy will call out to Freya across the centuries. Ancient wrongs must be laid to rest in the present and the mystery at the heart of Findnar�s violent past exposed.
In time the comet will return, a link between past and present. But for these two women, time does not exist. For them, the past will never die. It has waited for them both.
Posie Graeme-Evans is the author of four novels, including The Dressmaker. She has worked in the Australian media industry for the last thirty years and was named one of Variety magazine�s twenty significant women in film and television. She lives in Tasmania with her husband and creative partner Andrew Blaxland.

Freddie Freeman Homers As Braves Beat The Mariners 3-1
I was watching the Seattle Mariners play the Atlanta Braves at Safeco Field last night on TV.
Not exactly a stellar match up because these two teams have had their struggles in scoring runs this year, especially the Mariners who are complete garbage on offense.
I mainly watched this match up because of some good rookies playing in the game. For the Braves, they have youngsters Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward (second year), a couple of great looking future stars.
And the Mariners have another good looking rookie in Dustin Ackley. Ackley was just called up to the big leagues on June 17th, so he is completely wet behind the ears. But what I've seen of Dustin Ackley so far I like! He is well disciplined at the plate, something his Mariners' teammates should look into, and he has a quick, compact swing. He is gonna be a good one I believe!
Now to this Braves-Mariners game last night. It was a real yawner, like most Mariners games at Safeco. With the score tied 1-1 in the seventh inning, the Braves had a runner on first against Erik Bedard and Freddie Freeman coming up to bat. Bedard tried to sneak a fastball by Freeman. Big mistake! Freeman smashed the ball to dead center field as Mariners outfielder Franklin Gutierrez raced back but ran out of room.
The ball cleared the center field fence by plenty. I watch a lot of Mariners games and players don't hit home runs to dead center hardly at all. Safeco Field is a pitchers ballpark and you really have to get a hold of one to hit it out in that area.
Freeman's 9th home run of the season gave pitcher Brandon Beachy and the Atlanta Braves a 3-1 lead which they never surrendered. They go on and beat the hapless Mariners by that same score, 3-1.
This was my first chance to see Freddie Freeman up close and he looks like he will be a good one as well. He has raw power and can pick it at first base. Braves fans should be excited to have Freeman and Heyward for many years to come.

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/1099-1085(200011/12)14:1...
Over the past 30 years, ecologists have demonstrated the importance of flow and temperature as primary variables in driving running water, riparian and floodplain ecosystems. As it is important to assess the size and timing of discharge variations in relation to those in temperature, a method is proposed that uses multivariate techniques to separately classify annual discharge and temperature regimes according to their shape and magnitude, and which then combines the classifications. This paper: (i) describes a generally applicable method; (ii) tests the method by applying it to riparian systems on four British rivers using a 20-year record (1977-97) of flow and air temperature; (iii) proposes a hydroecological interpretation of the classification; (iv) considers the degree to which the methodology might provide information to support the design of ecologically acceptable flow regimes. Regimes are defined for discharge and air temperature using monthly mean data. The results of applying the classification procedure to four British rivers indicates that the typical regimes for each of the four catchments are composite features produced by a small number of clearly defined annual types that reflect interannual variability in hydroclimatological conditions. Annual discharge patterns are dominated by three shape classes (accounting for 94% of the station years: class A, early (November) peak; class B, intermediate (December-January) peak; and class C, late (March) peak) and one magnitude class (70% of the station years fall into class 3, intermediate), with two subordinate magnitude classes: low-flow years (18%) and high flow years (12%). For air temperature, annual patterns are classified evenly into three shape and four magnitude classes. It is argued that this variety of flow-temperature patterns is important for sustaining ecosystem integrity and for establishing benchmark flow regimes and associated frequencies to aid river management.
