Scheduling a championship
Numbers show Longhorns have best shot at perfect season among elite teams
Strength of schedule can make or break a national title contender. If a team faces a gauntlet, it may be doomed to fail once (or twice) too often. If it faces a slate of second-rate opponents, it may be judged by BCS computers and poll voters as an unworthy candidate. Balance is everything.
Our projections for the 2009 season don't dramatically disagree with the national consensus at the top. We are projecting five elite teams to have the best opportunity to contend for a spot in the BCS championship game: Florida, USC, Texas, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma. Each will be challenged along the way, however. According to our SOS ratings, the odds are stacked against any of the five posting an undefeated regular season (Table 1).
To see which top team has the best chance of running the table and which faces the toughest stretch during the season, you must be an ESPN Insider.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Margaret Wertheim (born 1958, Brisbane, Australia) is a science writer and the author of books on the cultural history of physics.
Wertheim is the author of three books that collectively consider the role of theoretical physics in the cultural landscape of modern Western society. The first, Pythagoras' Trousers, is a history of the relationship between physics, religion, and gender relations. The second, The Pearly Gates of Cyberspace, charts the history of scientific thinking about space from Dante to the Internet. The third book in this series, Physics on the Fringe, looks at the idiosyncratic world of "outsider physicists" such as Jim Carter, people with little or no scientific training who develop their own alternative theories of the universe.[1]
As a journalist, Wertheim has contributed to the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times and is a contributing editor to Cabinet magazine, the international arts and culture quarterly. From 2001 to 2005, she wrote the "Quark Soup" science column for the LA Weekly, sister paper to the Village Voice. In 2006, her writing was awarded the print journalism prize from the American Institute of Biological Sciences and, in 2004, she was the National Science Foundation visiting journalist to Antarctica. Her work was included in Best American Science Writing 2003, edited by Oliver Sacks.
In 2003, Wertheim and her twin sister Christine founded the Institute For Figuring, an organization based in Los Angeles that promotes the public understanding of the poetic and aesthetic dimensions of science and mathematics. Christine Wertheim is a faculty member of the Department of Critical Studies at CalArts. Through their work with the IFF, the Wertheim twins have curated exhibitions on scientific and mathematical themes at art galleries and science museums around the world, including the Santa Monica Museum of Art, the Art Center College of Design, the Machine Project, the Museum of Jurassic Technology, the Science Gallery at Trinity College in Dublin, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. The IFF's "Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef" project is perhaps the biggest art and science community project in the world. More than 5000 people from New York and London, to Riga and Cape Town, have actively contributed pieces to Crochet Reef exhibitions. As of mid-2011, more than three million people have seen these shows. The "Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef" offers an intersection between mathematics, science, handicraft, environmentalism and community art practice.

I went into my first DTM expecting discomfort and pain. I didn't think the pain would last two days!
I've been told by colleagues that the the massage was not done correctly. She didn't warm my muscles up first with a light massage but merely put a blanket on me for a few minutes before digging in.
And dig she did! I watched videos where the deep tissue extent of the massage consisted of long deep sweeps using entire forearms. During my massage she ground my muscles with her fingers against my bones, much like one would grind corn on a stone to make masa. I could hear her repeatedly cracking up fascia.
This morning I woke up stiff and drained. My neck, shoulder blades and scalp are extremely sore. I'm sending my husband in for one next week to see if it's just me. He's had DMT post-op from the doctor that fixed his knee.
To add insult to injury, the woman actually did the tupperware/used car sales man sales pressure tactic of asking me when I would like to schedule my next massage. Not "if", but "when". I wasn't rude and even tipped her but there's no way I am going back and paying for that pain again.

2014 Ryan O'Byrne Charity Camp
The Ryan O'Byrne Youth Sports Society is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Ryan O'Byrne Charity Camp(ROCC); an Atom and Pee-wee hockey camp in Victoria, BC to be held from June 30th - July 4th, 2014. All profits from the camp will be given to KidSport Victoria on behalf of the Ryan O'Byrne Youth Sports Society. Max Young and Craig Didmon, Head coach of the Victoria Grizzlies, will be returning as lead instructors for ROCC 2014. NHL Guest Instructors will be announced throughout the winter and spring.
The 2013 ROCC was a huge success and we would like to thank everyone who supported us through sponsorship, volunteering and attending the camp. Over 60 kids took part in ROCC at the University of Victoria last August. NHL Guest Instructors included Jamie Benn, Manny Malhotra, Jordie Benn, Paul Bissonnette, Boyd Gordon, Matt Irwin, and Tyson Barrie. Camp participants enjoyed a challenging week-long camp focusing on skill and team development with both on-ice and off-ice components. Check out the above video for some footage of the camp!
With the proceeds from ROCC, the Ryan O'Byrne Youth Sports Society has funded KidSport Victoria with $65,000 over the last two years. Those funds raised by ROCC will get over 200 kids into sport in Greater Victoria. Also, the Ryan O'Byrne Youth Sports Society, in partnership with the NHLPA, KidSport Victoria and Kirby's Source for Sports has given over 50 deserving kids in Greater Victoria brand new sets of hockey gear and their registration fees for the upcoming season over the last two years.
We are thrilled to be able to give back to the community and look forward to another successful year in 2014!

Trout was a toolsy athlete picked at the end of the first rd. If he was a lock for superstardom he would have been picked earlier. If you want to find these guys then look for the Starlings and Buxtons. Of course you will get a few Tates and Hicks that bust.

Unfortunately we live in an age where most top prospects get hyped like crazy and people then expect the to be HOF type players. But true HOF talents only come around every once in a while.Crazy as this might sound but really the last guy that is a HOF type player was probably Albert Pujols. Since him there have been a lot of really good players but no one that is a lock for the HOF yet. Verlander needs to win a lot more games, Cabrera is probably on track so is Braun. Maybe I am missing someone obvious but the point is very few players come into the league and immediately succeed and put themselves in the position that Harper and Trout have.

Why do apes have no tails?
Many people think of apes as mammals that are closely related with monkeys. Scientifically speaking, both apes and monkeys are part of the anthropoid family of mammals which belongs to a bigger group called hominids. Based on characteristics and evolutional ancestry, the apes and monkeys are separated into different subfamilies or groups. In terms of characteristics and appearance for example, monkeys have tails while all mammals classified as apes don't. The basic reason for this is that apes descended from a different group of mammals from that of the monkeys, although all are related in terms of animal classification. Based on descendants alone, apes basically inherited the appearance and characteristics of hominids, and that is to possess no tails. In fact, many people including the experts classify hominids or anthropoid animals based on their tails. Orang-utans and gorillas for example have no tails and so are classified as apes. Gibbons meanwhile belong to the monkey group because they have tails.
In terms of appearance and animal activity, apes are also known to be usually bigger than their monkey counterparts. With the bigger size, apes won't be able to carry their bodies when they are swinging from tree branches if they had tails. On the other hand, the body of monkeys are smaller and slender similar to that of cats. Their smaller bodies are perfect for their climbing activities with the help of their tails.
With the apes created with no tails, they are equipped with strong hands and feet. Their limbs are specifically designed for grasping objects and tree branches for climbing and other activities. With very able hands and feet, apes literally do not need tails to support their daily activities and chores. Some monkey species on the other hands may not have the same gripping or grasping power as the apes and so they need their tails to assist them with their regular activities up in the trees.

What are the functions of the cells in a complete blood count (CBC)?The cells in the CBC (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets) have unique functions. Generally speaking, white blood cells are an essential part of the immune system and help the body fight infections. Each different component of the white blood cell (the WBC differential) plays a specific role in the immune system. Red blood cells are essential in transporting oxygen to all the cells in the body to serve their functions. The hemoglobin molecule in the red blood cell is the vehicle for the transportation of oxygen. Platelets are a part of the blood clotting system in the body and help in preventing bleeding.

Are you looking to move from a welcome email to a welcome series? I have broken out a few top tips that you can use to make the transition from a one time touchpoint to a multiple email welcome series that will kick off the new relationship the right way. It is important to take this crucial introduction one step at a time and not overwhelm the new subscriber with too much too soon. We want to the subscriber to connect with the brand, make their first purchase, and steer them toward long term engagement. You can think of these categories as individual emails or you can combine elements that make sense for your business and your customer.
Reinforce Brand: This is your first chance to say hello! It's important to make a good impression with this critical message. Make sure you are using a standard from name and from address that you also use for your standard promotional emails. Include images and copy that reflect your brand and your site experience. This is even more important if your welcome messages are not instantly triggered. A subscriber may not remember signing up for your email program and recalling the experience could lead to fewer spam complaints.
Set Expectations: At this stage you're still introducing yourself to the subscriber. So it's key that you let the subscriber know what they can expect to receive. Staples' welcome email tells the subscriber what to expect, such as:
- Frequency - ex. weekly deals
- Value Proposition - ex. exclusive coupons or discounts
- Email Expectations - Show them a sample of a typical newsletter (a visual reference for future communications).
This email helps create a sense of anticipation about future messages which can work to drive longer term engagement.
Offer Incentive for first purchase: Your welcome email is the first opportunity to convert a new subscriber into a first time buyer! Make sure you are offering an incentive for making their first purchase and test a limited time offer to couple the high engagement level with a sense of urgency.
Educate, Inform and Connect
Other Ways to Connect: Highlight other communication channels where your subscriber can connect to your brand. This is where you really want to focus on asking the subscriber to sign up for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Channel, and your blog! Give them all of the options and the value of connecting to each channel.
Other Brands & Store Locations: Do you have other brands? Brick & mortar locations? Make sure subscribers have the option to sign up for your sister brands and find their preferred store. While I don't feel like this is the most visually appealing approach, Old Navy definitely has a comprehensive approach:
Remind and Follow-Up
First Purchase Coupon offer reminder: Bookend the first email in the series by reinforcing urgency and the expiration of the first purchase coupon if it has not been redeemed. You will want to make sure you exclude anyone who has already purchased.
Preference Center / Complete Profile: Do you only collect email address during the opt-in process? Encourage the new subscriber to complete their profile on your site so they receive emails that feature the best offers and products for them.
For many moving from a welcome message to a series, the process may seem daunting. But follow these steps to easily create a unique series for your brand. You should have most if not all of this information readily accessible, it's just a matter of assembling it and scheduling appropriately.
Have you seen any welcome series messages do extremely well? Any messages that you had made improvements on? Share your thoughts below!

Thanks for this insight, Jim! I'd love to see a best practices blog post about welcome emails *after* a customer has signed up and paid for an ongoing service (as opposed to before a purchase is made). How do you retain those customers? How do you hold their interest? What research techniques should you consider when setting up a post-purchase welcome program? Thanks!

Cleaning purple PVC primer on concrete??
Yesterday the central vac installers came to install the pipe, and after keeping a close eye on them the first few hours, I had other things to do, so I left them on their own. After they left, we went over to look at their work, and we found splotches of purple pvc primer on our concrete floors in the basement, and a huge spill in the mechanical room (looks like they spilled the entire can), with cardboard over the spill. We have called the company to complain, and they are trying to figure out what to do, but I was hoping someone might have some suggestions. I don't really care about the mech room (besides their attempt to cover it up when all they had to do was walk 75 feet over to our apartment and ask for some rags to clean it up), but the other spills are in our game room, and we are planning to stain the concrete there. We were planning on using a dark brown stain, so I'm hoping this will not be an issue, but am also worried that the stain will not adhere to the primered areas. DH says he doesn't know of anything that will clean this, any thoughts?? I guess I learned an important lesson-even if the installers seem competent, you have to watch them like a hawk!
Not trying to send traffic away from this great forum, but you may want to ask this question on a Concrete Staining Forum also.
Such as:
Here is a link that might be useful: Gayegoodman
I agree with lclevel; you need the help of experts. Also contact the primer's manufacturer to find out if they have a specialized removal product, and get their suggestions specifically for stain removal from concrete.
I suspect the finished-stain portion will show a difference in coloration over the primed areas due to the primer soaking downwards, probably bonding literally *into* the cement. And you have a valid concern about how any finish will adhere to the primer-soaked areas which should be discussed with the manufacturer of the finish.
I had something similar happen with my HVAC guys. I could have strangled them. Acetone did the trick for me and I think it is an approved product for concrete staining. However, I would use it very carefully. I used a very dark brown to stain my floors and I don't notice the removed pvc primer spots. They are there, but I have to nearly put my face at the floor to see them. The stain actually doesn't adhere to the concrete (assuming you are acid staining), but it reacts with the components of the concrete slab. The spots did take some stain, although they are more really dark gray than brown.
Even worse than the pvc primer is the stains left from where the electrician dropped staples and they rusted. I tried to pick up all the nails and staples, but I missed some. Those spots are very noticeable. Definitely get yourself a long handled magnet and keep all the nails and staples off the bare concrete.
Thanks everyone for all of your ideas, the company says they are researching ways to get this up (they even spilled some on their own concrete to test it), but I don't want to count on them to fix this, and I certainly don't want to look at the spots for the rest of my life! Dannie gal, thanks for your suggestion, we will have to try the acetone in the mech room. We're planning on doing the acid staining so hopefully we're as lucky as you and they won't be very visable!
Also good point on the rust issues, I've been very careful to pick up anything that might rust just in case that would show through the staining. I guess the lesson to learn from this (it's a little late for us, since we won't have any more subs in at this point), put large signs everywhere near your slab if you're going to stain it so everyone knows they need to be very careful!
While there are many options available to remove the stain, one must be careful to choose a solvent that will not impede the acid stain from properly reacting with the concrete. One wrong solvent choice and you have a much larger problem when the stain doesn't take.
I seem to remember (although it's been 18 months since I did it) scraping a putty knife across the spots popped the primer dots off the floor. Acetone definitely worked though. I remember being worried because the only acetone item I had with me was fingernail polish remover! It was the gel kind in the little pump bottle. I was nervous at first because it was "enriched with Vitamin E" and I didn't know what that would do to the concrete! The pump was handy though because I was able to be very neat with it! I'm glad none of my subs were around to see me pull out fingernail polish as my weapon of choice! :D

It is prescribed to do sujood al-sahw in naafil prayers just as it is prescribed to do it in the obligatory prayers when there is a reason for doing it.
This is the view of the majority of scholars ancient and modern, because of the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): âIf any one of you forgets something in the prayer, let him do two prostrations.â Narrated by Muslim, 402
Also, correcting the prayer and annoying the Shaytaan are things which may be needed in the naafil prayers just as in the obligatory prayers.
Some scholars â including Ibn Sireen, Qutaadah, âAtaâ and a number of the companions of al-Shaafaâi were of the view that there is no sujood al-sahw in voluntary (naafil) prayers. But the correct view is that of the majority.
Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Saheeh: âBab al-Sahw fiâl-fard waâl-tatawwuâ (Chapter on forgetfulness in obligatory and voluntary (prayers)). Ibn âAbbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) did two prostrations after Witr, and al-Haafiz said in al-Fath, commenting on the report of Ibn âAbbaas: this was narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah with a saheeh isnaad.
The point of quoting what Ibn âAbbaas did is that Witr is not obligatory, but Ibn âAbbaas did sujood al-sahw in it, which indicates that sujood al-sahw should be done in both obligatory and naafil prayers.
Shaykh Ibn âUthaymeen said: Sujood al-sahw is two sajdahs (prostrations), and should be done in both obligatory and naafil prayers if there is a reason for doing it.
Majmooâ Fataawa Ibn âUthaymeen, 14/68
See Kitaab Sujood al-Sahw fi Dawâ al-Kitaab waâl-Sunnah al-Muttaharah by Shaykh âAbd-Allaah al-Tayyaar.

Dr. Taylor examines what 18th century thinkers called the science of human nature, which calls on scholars to develop a collaborative approach across different academic disciplines. In 2006, she received a fellowship from the National Foundation for the Humanities to work on the early stages of her book, Reflecting Subjects: Passion, Sympathy and Society in Hume's Philosophy.
Her work aims to highlight how emotions and empathy are structured by particular social conditions. Dr. Taylor's research also displays the vital application of timeless humanity concepts to contemporary ethical issues. Her examination leads to one's own responsibility to effectively act as an agent of moral consciousness.

Science for Health
Motor proteins have essential roles in management of cells and are responsible for a wide array of movements, from muscle itself, where motion is along a protein filament of actin, to movement of proteins along DNA. The proteins share several common features in the way that they transduce the biochemical process of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis to the biological function. Particular stages of the nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis cycle are intimately associated with conformation changes of the protein. These protein changes modulate protein-protein or protein-DNA interactions in a way that produces the biological function.
In a wider sense these proteins are representative of the large array of nucleoside triphosphatases that are involved in cellular processes. The energy of ATP or GTP hydrolysis is converted into other forms of energy or is used to provide some sort of molecular switch. Other examples include nitrogenase in nitrogen fixation, the calcium pump ATPase, elongation factors involved in protein biosynthesis and G proteins involved in cell signalling.
The general theme of our work is the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of the processes involving such motor proteins. This also involves the development of new techniques to study processes of interest. It is also includes a number of collaborations, both within the UK and internationally.
An important feature of the research group is the type of core techniques used.

Browser Based Mapping Site Built for REM
LISAsoft has recently completed a mapping web site for Resource and Exploration Mapping (REM), a Geographic Information System company servicing the mining, exploration and environmental industries.
REM required a website to help people from offices around the world communicate about the geographic areas they manage. The web site needed to provide the powerful functionality they were used to using in desktop applications, and yet still be easy to understand for non-spatially trained users.
The application was built upon open source libraries, which provide robust cross-browser functionality. GeoExt was used, which includes Open Layers mapping tools and ExtJS for clean web interfaces.
The underlying map services were provided by GeoServer on top of a Postgres/PostGIS spatial database. The system was delivered inside a Virtual Machine, ready for easy deployment.

I didn't use to wear bronzer or even contour my cheeks cause I found it didn't match my porcelain white skin tone. I changed my mind though,when I gave this amazing product a try. I love the finish it gives. It's soft,with cool undertones and it gives my face the kind of shading I need.Lasts all day,really matte,easy to work with and has a pleasant powdery smell. Not chalky at all and dirt cheap! I love that it comes in 2 different sizes. The big one -20 grams of product!- could last for years and the small one is perfect for travelling or for your handbag! You should own that if you have fair or olive skin!
RAVE!! Fair skinned gals, give this bronzer a try, but i'm sure it would work one way or another on almost anyone (except very dark skinned ladies).
I have the one in the big packaging which is supposed to be an all-over body bronzer, but it's exactly the same shade as the little one. So chose whatever works for you. It costs around 4 euros in Greece.
I use this to bring some life and dimention back to my face -and since i'm quite fair (usually the lightest or the second lightest shade in every foundation range) my face needs *something* to help me from looking like a ghost. All the other bronzers i've tried seem to be too dark/too brown/too orangy for me.
This is not cool toned , but not TOO orangy.
Its consistency is really great in my opinion! Not as creamy as some other bronzers, but what i like about it is that it's not powdery at all, so it won't create a dusty mess every time you whirl your brush into it.
The pigmentation is on the sheer side, but totally buildable! It helps me have control and not look like an oompa loompa during winter when i'm pale as crap. But it's buildable and suits me during summer too, when i get really tanned. That's why i said it would look good on darker skinned ladies too.
As a last note, exactly because it's not too powdery, it lasts for AGES. I've been using this almost everyday for the last year and a half and i still haven't hit pan(!!!) (I even use it on my eyelids or crease quite often too, to give some definition)
The only other bronzer that i've found good for my skintone is the Korres monoi bronzer, which is my HG, but that's more expensive.
Totally recommend it!
I bought this bronzer randomly whilst in h and m one day last summer. I was going on holiday and thought I could do with a bit of bronzing. Annoyingly, as im sure youll all know, the makeup in h and m is all in small plastic packets so you can't actually open the product to see what colour it is, so I just bought it hoping for the best. When I finally did open it, I found it was actually too light for my skin (normally olive but was more tanned then) and a little too orange as a face powder.
I generally use this bronzer as a light powder finish to set my make up, I just make sure not to use too much. Its easy to apply using a brush. I also use it as a base colour for my eyes sometimes too. I think it's pretty good quality, especially as I only paid about £3 for it!
The mirror in the compact means it is useful to take around, the mirror itself is good too. I also like the appearance of the bronzer! It's a shiny gold-ish colour compact and looks pretty. I am writing this review a whole year after I bought it and I can't even see the bottom of the compact so it's doing pretty well!
The only reason I wouldn't buy again is because my closest h and m's are all fairly far away and I prefer thicker powders that I have used in the past.

NC40-42, yellow undertone, asian skin. The color of the bronzer is not dark enough. The color of the bronzer is about my skin shade but warmer and the slightest bit darker like very little difference. Overall a nice soft texture, lots of product in a compact of it; and if you're lighter than me, then I'd say to give it a try.

More reviews by agirlwholovesballet
The color is nice, not muddy at all, but you need to use quite a lot. There's a whole lot of product tho, and you can build it up, so the product itself is great.
The packaging sucks. The mirror is too tiny to use, and the packaging takes up a lot of space. I deported it, and found little foam strips under the pan to make it look like there's a lot more product than it looks. There really is a lot of product in the pan and I think h&m didnt have to do it .
Overall, I think the product deserves a 5 but it's because of the packaging that it got a 3. I suggest you to try it and depot it to save space
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This Bronzer is amazing. Not to matte. Not to shimmery. It gives you that perfect glow. For years and years ive been using this lightly all over my face and people would mistake it for face powder. It evens covers up the few blemishes your foundation has not completely covered. The only down side i found to this product is that it would leave small red powder dots on your face throughout the day but i would say this is perfect for use on the rest of your body! :) pluss... lasts agess and the price is great, better than any other expensive bronzers that make you look orange.
+ You get much product for the price
+ Gives a natural look
+ Nice packaging, mirror inside and stylish outside
+ Does not make my skin any bad
- You have to use much product to get results
- Too much glitter for everyday use
All over a good product, but I think you can find a better (though, not for the same price) GL :-)

March 25, 2008
On March 24, 2008 at 3:29 a.m. Mesa Police Investigators arrested 18-year-old Rico Rashaad Barnes of Mesa on numerous felony charges, including Armed Robbery and Aggravated Assault.
The crime spree began on March 13, 2008 at 10:50 p.m. when Barnes is believed to have illegally entered an apartment home at 1111 S. San Jose while in possession of a firearm. The front door was not secure, which allowed Barnes to easily gain entry. Once inside, Barnes struck the female victim on the head and pointed the firearm at her. Barnes threatened to shoot the victim and started rummaging through the victim's personal items. Barnes eventually bound the victim's hands and legs and fled the apartment with various valuable items, including an ATM card. A short time later Barnes attempted to use the ATM card at an ATM machine, but was unsuccessful.
On March 22, 2008, sometime during the night Barnes is suspected of entering another unsecured apartment home at 1112 S. San Jose, which is located directly across the street from the previous location. The tenants were home at the time and sleeping. Barnes was able to gather various personal items belonging to the victims, including the keys to their car. Barnes allegedly fled the scene in the victim's vehicle.
On March 24, 2008 at 3:29 a.m. patrol officers located the victim's vehicle in the area of Alma School and 8th Avenue. Barnes was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle at that time. Officers in marked patrol vehicles attempted to conduct a high-risk traffic stop on the vehicle, but Barnes refused to pull over. Barnes eventually stopped the vehicle in the area of 1030 S. Stewart. He exited the car and fled the scene on foot. A brief foot chase ensued and Barnes was quickly captured by uniformed patrol officers. Once captured, Barnes resisted officers, refusing to place his hands behind his back. Officers were able to gain physical control of Barnes and affect the arrest without further incident. At the time of his capture Barnes was wearing an item of clothing believed to have been stolen during the March 24th burglary. Barnes denied any involvement in the burglary and stated that he was borrowing the vehicle. Investigators gathered evidence and information from various sources linking Barnes to the burglary and theft of the vehicle. After discovering where Barnes had been staying, investigators responded to the residence and located some of Barnes' personal property. Investigators executed a search warrant of Barnes' personal property and located items linking him to the March 13th home invasion.
Rico Barnes was booked on suspicion of Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Kidnapping, Theft of a Credit Card, Unlawful Means of Transportation, Burglary, Failure to Yield to Law Enforcement Officers and Resisting Arrest. As of this writing, his release and bond status are unknown.

Mosquitos and Pets
Name: Ronnie Status: educator Age: 30s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2000-2001
In our area some people collect rain water to use to water their pets(ducks & geese). They were concerned about mosquitos in those barrels and how to control them without making the water unusable for their pets. Do you have any suggestions? What is the normal territorial range for a mosquito?
The best bet would be some type of cover for the barrels, for example a cloth if the rain must drain directly into the barrels. A screen might also work, but I don't know for sure if a female mosquito will lay eggs without landing directly on the water.
Donald Yee Ph.D.
San Francisco Estuary Institute 180 Richmond Field Station,
1325 South 46th St. Richmond, CA 94804
We solved the problem at home (in Europe) by putting enough insect-eating waterbugs in the water, which we collected from a stream. In a short while a mini-ecosystem established itself in our water container and all mosquito larvae were gone. Biological pest control pur sang. Would it work in your conditions?
Trudy Wassenaar
The simplest way to control mosquitoes is simply to empty the containers periodically, at least once every week or two, to prevent mosquitoes from maturing. I don't really know how far an adult mosquito will fly.

US Patent 502, 384 Dynamo-Electric Machine or Motor, was also created by Harris J. Ryan 1887, which overcame a major defect in the operation of DC (direct-current) machinery.

Selecting Investment Professionals
Perhaps the best place to start is by talking with your friends, neighbors, relatives, and colleagues—especially those who have some experience as individual investors. Ask the names of the investment professionals they have used, how long they have done business with those individuals, and how much or how little they have relied on their advice. Ask whether they have ever had a problem with any professional you are considering, and if so, how well and how quickly the matter was resolved. Finally, ask about their relationship with their investment professional and assess whether that relationship would work for you. Some people want an investment professional who will take plenty of time to discuss their investments with them while others want someone who provides information when asked and otherwise keeps a low profile.
If you do not know anyone personally who could recommend an investment professional to you, there are other avenues to explore. Your employer, trade organization or labor union, or local consumer or investment groups might be able to provide referrals. In addition, although they typically cannot recommend a particular firm or individual, regulators can be a helpful resource. For example, if you are looking for a securities broker, FINRA's website includes a list of registered firms—or if you are looking for an accountant, your state's Board of Accountancy might be able to help.

Summary | A suspended skeleton and a beautiful nude woman face one another. The skeleton, perhaps used by medical students or artists, hangs by its skull from a wire. At its feet are cluttered a few pieces of debris – a stone head and foot. A label attached to the skull reads "La Belle Rosine." Opposite the hanging bones stands a nude young woman with a garland in her hair. Her eyes look upwards toward the vacant sockets of the skull. Her contemplative expression suggests that she may perhaps be reflecting on her mortality. In her left hand, she loosely holds a garment. |
Commentary | Antoine Wiertz never received the wide acclaim that he believed was his due. He knew a certain level of success in France during his lifetime – he won the prestigious Prix de Rome – and found patronage readily during his career, yet believed the extent of his genius was never fully appreciated. Wiertz was attracted to death and mortality, and these themes feature prominently in many of his works. Two Young Girls sardonically invites the viewer to consider the temporary nature of beauty and life. For a similar outlook on life and beauty's brevity and perhaps foolishness, see Goya's Las Viejas; for a provocative contrasting view, see Gauguin's Spirit of the Dead Watching (Manao tupapau) (both annotated this database). |

The new box, its so different, wow it looks cool, but i think PS3 is going to sell better, nice round glimmer of hope, and i heard a rumor about the new Console of Nintendo, is it true.
These popped up in the last few days. If you go to gamespot and other places you can see better pictures which were listed as "possible rumours" but are looking more and more like this is really what its going to look like. We'll know for sure this Thursday as MTV is airing that special unveiling it. Now I just wanna see what the PS3 is gonna look like. I'm getting both anyways lol. But the more I see of screenshots it looks like both systems will have essentially identical graphics. So this time really its going to depend on what games come out for which one (so the exclusives) and who can own the online arena (which Xbox is pwning right now but Sony just needs to actually try and they can do ok its not THAT hard lol)

The new box, its so different, wow it looks cool, but i think PS3 is going to sell better, nice round glimmer of hope, and i heard a rumor about the new Console of Nintendo, is it true.
Their new xbox live 3. 0 plan looks great and is really more organized this time. You make a point Cybergig, xbox has shown the best results when dealing with online play. I saw a commercial(or maybe it was a show) with celebrities talking about it and about how they were playing halo 2 on it. But they said they wouldn't show it until this thursday.
This signature is within the limits upheld by the forum rules. Unless the rules change, do not remove.
yeah its supposed to be more community based and I think it'll use a lot of the stuff they showed at E3 last year and were supposed to put on the current live but I guess the hardware couldn't handle it, like all the video chat ect (which makes sense why there is a camera in that picture)
but yeah again I'll get both systems because I love certain games on each. And I know PS3 will have a monster 3rd party backing with everybody and there brother making games for it. I wish both systems well and hope they have a good library for each I think they learned there lessons from seeing how Xbox did live and can make something similar surely. They just need to get some software developer to do it for them rather than trying it themselves :\
and yes for the revolution its got all kinds of rumours around it (nintendo's new console) we'll have to wait till E3 though since all there are is a bunch of rumours currently
Clan orders: Wear the signature of defeat with pride.
360 controller
And the remote
From the pictures I'd have to say I was wrong in thinking that the "360" part was the consoles weight.
Clan? What Clan?
I'm the Master. I need no Clan.
I still won't buy an X-Box, not untill it's the only console on the market, I'll just keep buying Sony Products.

I would really like to really know why the state legislature picked the moniker of the Golden State for California in the 1960's as Hollywood had pretty much taken over the image of California by that time.
I understand that it is a nod to the history from the beginning, but that was well over one hundred years before and the state had grown considerably since then, to the point that it was unique compared to other cities in the world.
I really think they should have given a nod to Hollywood or something to do with the West Coast, seeing that this state basically represents the western part of the nation.
I would just really like to know the back story behind this decision, the people behind it, and the discussion that came along with it.

Bharatanatyam is considered to be a fire-dance — the mystic manifestation of the metaphysical element of fire in the human body. The dance form is the manifestation of the ancient idea of the celebration of the eternal universe through the celebration of the beauty of the material body. It has two aspects—lasya, the graceful feminine lines and movements, and tandava, the masculine dance of Shiva.
Arno Kamolika, a talented Bharatanatyam dancer of Bangladesh now residing in Canada for higher studies, performed in a solo dance recital at National Art Gallery auditorium of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy on February 12. At present Arno is taking lessons on Bharatanatyam from Joy Govinda in Canada. All the featured dance pieces were also choreographed by him.
Arno set off the dance recital with "Durga-stuti", a eulogising visual poetry to Devi Durga. The artiste gracefully portrayed devotional dance mudras, set on a classical song "Kalyan Sundareshwari". Arno's aesthetic showcasing of dance movements seemingly won hearts of many connoisseurs.
Four young artistes –Lima, Jesika, Swachi and Shraboni – were next to take the stage dancing to a dhrupad ang song. The performance was artistically balanced with regard to the dancers' throwing of mudras.
Arno did justice to her next offerings titled "Navarasa" that forms the basis of Rasa-abhinaya in Indian classical dances including Bharatanatyam. The artiste beautifully conveyed emotions through a variety of facial expressions and hand gestures while blossoming the nine rasas—sringara (amour), hasyam (mirth), karunam (pathetic), raudram (furious), viram (heroic), bhayanakam (terrible), bibhatsam (odious), adbhutham (wonder) and santam (tranquility).
As ode to Spring, Arno Kamolika next performed "Ashtapadi". Based on Joydeb's epic poem "Geeta Govinda", the performance featured Krishna's celebrating the season of flowers and colours in various moods and gestures with awaiting gope-gopinis in absence of Radha.
Later, Arno superbly acted out three sagas setting out in a Mira Bhajan. The artiste performed the piece in pristine styles enthralling the audience in unending rapt. The dancer took on numerous characters by switching roles through the swift turn in circle, creating a storyline. Artistic light designing with soothing music created a blissful ambience.
And last but not the least—Arno Kamolika performed "Tillana", a brisk, lively number generally presented towards the end of a solo recital. Based on Raga "Mohonkalyani" and taal "Adi", the pure dance form mesmerised the audience. Arno's fast footwork coupled with an embellished returning to shom cast a lasting spell on the minds of the many revered audiences, that included eminent cultural personality Dr. Sanjida Khatun, mime maestro Partha Pratim Majumder, Poet Nurul Huda and Arno's father Dr. Atiur Rahman, Governor of Bangladesh Bank.
The event, arranged by Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA), was a rare treat to the performing arts. BSA director general Liaquat Ali Lucky thanked and blessed Arno and requested Dr. Sanjida Khatun and Partha Pratim Majumder to present bouquets to the featured artiste.
"The hard form of dance that Arno showcased effortlessly today reminds me of the solo Bharatnatyam presentation by Leela Samsan held at Bangladesh National Museum years ago. For me, Arno has surpassed the artistic expressions that Leela showcased on that day. I am blessing Arno from my core of heart," said Dr. Sanjida Khatun.
Arno was baptised in dance at Chhayanaut under the tutelage of guru Sharmila Bandopadhyay. Completing her courses on Bharatanatyam and Manipuri from Chhayanaut, she joined the cultural school as teacher in 2002. Arno also received taleem from eminent Indian dance guru Padmabhushan Professor CD Chandrashekhar. The artiste has so far performed on illuminated stages in USA, Canada and several countries of Europe.

Also! before you watch it, its probably wise to turn your volume down as the excessive grunt noises can give off the wrong impression to people who aren't watching the visuals...better yet! just mute it!!!
EDIT: Since alot of you don't know the myth and so don't really understand it, here is a brief explanation;
The Myth Of Sisyphs is about a man condemned by the gods to push a boulder up a mountain for eternity, never able to reach the top. There's much more to it than that but that should be all you need to know ;)
EDIT: Look at my news post for the character design basis of sisyphus, it's the image i based the character design on!
I was partly Inspired by the work of Adam Phillips, i learnt alot of animation techniques from his work and this has resulted in a few similarities of style, i'm a huge fan of his and im not trying to rip him off, nextime you'll see something different from me anyway :D
*EDIT* frontpage and brackenwood collection thank you!!!!
Many of you have been saying that it's just a brackenwood ripoff and aren't giving it a fair chance but it should be completely different, though my style may be similar the character is actually based on an old original drawing of sisyphus from the myth so sorry for any resemblence!!! :)
WOOHOO Daily 3rd! Watch the credits 'cause the animation ain't over till its over!
(Just want to mention that i am reading every each one of your reviews! keep em coming! It makes it all worth it !!:D)
SO, here it is!!! my first BIG animation! and when i say big i mean you hopefully won't be complaining that the animations too short or the fact that i had to cut like a whole scene out because the file size exceeded the limit..dammit.... This animation is totally FBF which i always do 'cause i hate untraditional animation like tweens, ect;
My usual rant/analysis/review thing will now be on my userpage so go check it out after you've watched it! Big thanks to the Kartunehustla for help with the audio syncing! This took me about 3 months for the animation in total, but the first month was spent on the first 3 cuts WITH A MOUSE, but then i got a tablet and it all sped up. a month was spent on audio and then about a week was spent trying to fix loads of problems in with the audio. Here's a few quick facts!
RUNTIME: WAS, exactly 6mins 0.6secs, but with the cuts it's now about 5mins 30secs approx;
FRAMES: WERE, 7212, but with cuts probably 7100 approx;
Sorry but i couldn't make a quality adjustment option, i'm absolutely useless with actionscript... so it might lag on a few scenes depending wether you have a bit of a crappy PC or not... Hope you like it!!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Sound effects...
You obviously put a lot of effort in making this look good and it certainly does : )
I agree you can very well see where the resemblance to Adam Phillips' work, although he gets absolutely ever detail right. Your flash looked slightly more... - "scribbly" for lack of a better word. The drawings just weren't as smooth, but that's probably intended. But it doesn't matter, it looked great in its own way.
If one thing bothered me, then it would be the sound effects. There were a few obvious looping sounds in there that got somewhat annoying, and the sounds weren't always just right to fit with the animation.
That's just some of the good and bad, constructive criticism, you know ;)
But I did like it. This is among the best stuff on NG.
Keep it up :)
Thank you, i suppose i do have a scribbly sort'a style, i prefer it. Thank for the constructive criticism.
Much appreciated
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I can see that u put a lot of effort in this !! and by that I mean that the story is funny
the grpahics were nice( the shadings were the best ) and the sounds...
Its good this movie came in the Brackenwood collections! well done!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Rated 3 / 5 stars
U think those charcter are to hard for you to animate, the moves those charcter does is wierd. anyway is looks good!
I never said it was hard..
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
a style to the point where your charcter resembles one of Adam Phillips is ridiculous.
I'm all for taking inspiration from other sources, but that was just ridiculous.
He's a caveman not bitey
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Worthy of being in the Brackenwood Collection
I enjoyed watching this, though I will say that Sisyphus' grunts got a bit old toward the end... I wouldn't recommend getting rid of the grunts, just making them quieter.
The animation, on the other hand, was pretty darn good. It wasn't exceedingly detailed, but it was stylistic and fairly smooth. Yes, it looks an awful lot like Adam Phillips' work, and it does lack the overall polish of a Brackenwood film, but it's still a cut above 90% of the stuff on this site. Like so many others have said already, it doesn't matter that your style is -CURRENTLY- similar to Phillips'. If you were claiming that you came up with the style yourself and gave no credit to Phillips', then it would be different, but as it is, people have no right to criticize this movie because it "lacks originality" in the style. The only way you can really get better at something is by copying someone better than you - your own unique style will surface in the process.
Another thing I would recommend is that you include an explanation of the Myth of Sisyphus somewhere, either in the description or the video itself, because too many people are giving it bad marks because they don't know the legend and are too illiterate to read the video's description. Otherwise, they'd know that the movie is -BASED- on the Myth of Sisyphus.
Great work! I'll be looking forward to future submissions from you!
Thanks for the recommendation

I was very excited when I heard they were making another stage musical, "Rock of Ages" into the movie. I hadn't had the opportunity to see the show on stage. The music was fantastic. I am a fan of 80s rock music so it was like going to a cover band's concert. The plot was a little odd at times. Tom Cruise definitely played a metal head rocker and I imagine some of those people can be really strange. He had a surprisingly good singing voice, so that was a bonus. Julianne Hough played a great Sherri. I've been a fan of hers since she started on "Dancing with the Stars." The movie really showcased her versatility. Diego Boneta has a fantastic voice. He really fit the part of Drew very well. It was strange seeing Alec Baldwin sing. I think they could have cast someone better for the role. He and Paul Giamatti just shouldn't sing, in my opinion. Russell Brand was funny. His character, Lonny, was a bit strange but he definitely added some comic relief. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mary J. Blige both had small parts but they both played them very well. Overall, "Rock of Ages" was a pretty good. The creative team made some odd choices that keep me from really singing it's praises. It wasn't my favorite movie ever but it wasn't the worst movie I had ever seen. It's a movie I definitely want to see again. And who knows maybe the second time it will really rock! | Blog Photos |

Hanging Out With The Oldie Goldies…
Happy Sunday Morning to ya! I have a day planned of R-E-L-A-X-A-T-I-O-N… Lately I feel like I've been going a million miles per hour and its totally catching up with me. I started to self diagnose the symptoms of my exhaustion on the Google last night… SCARY. SCARY. SCARY. So I am listening to my body today and going to take it EASY. EASY. EASY.
I had a very fulfilling day yesterday…both physically and mentally.
I followed my usual habits – Lemon water with cayenne and a big glass of Vitamineral Green Powder. Also, I had a big bowl of blueberries and banana.
I left the house – ran over to the gym to take a spinning class to find it closed because of a power outage. I was super bummed. I really wanted to take a class instead of figuring out what exercise to do on my own….
