In 1886 Marcus Daly purchased the existing Anthony Chaffin homestead, including the farmhouse, and had it completely remodeled by 1889. This was to be his family's summer residence. Because the Daly family did extensive entertaining, the Mansion was remodeled again in 1897 to a Queen Anne style Victorian home. This home, when completed, reminded Marcus of a church, so once again, remodeling plans were begun. Marcus Daly died in November of 1900 before the remodeling was started. A few years later, Mrs. Daly contracted A. J. Gibson of Missoula to go ahead with the remodeling plans. The Queen Anne home was to be incorporated into the new Georgian-Revival style home. The remodeling was completed in 1910.

Encrypted Text: Rogue tips for raiding Icecrown Citadel, Part 3 {WoW}
Jan 28th 2010 8:44AM you could try using grid and setting the background to gray out when that person is out of range of a bite. Then you can just click on grid and when their box lights up they are ready for a bite. I know it won't help you find them but at least you have a much easier target method. You could also set it up so that it shows who has the bite debuff.
You would have a much easier target system that shows who has the debuff and who is in range, the only part left is finding someone who is not in range, that takes communication.
How flaws in Blizzard's billing department are being exploited {WoW}
Jan 8th 2010 4:38PM I don't understand why people are jumping on Adam. If he has a track record of false information sure, but his record is clean.
Besides, this article or any other written isn't a negative portrayal of Blizzard, its not like they are doing anything to negatively affect the players. If anyone is being damaged by the actions of Blizzard, its Blizzard.
Encrypted Text: Knowing your stats {WoW}
Jan 7th 2010 9:29AM If you don't have a warrior giving the bonus damage debuff, it helps to have a combat rogue to do the same. 4% increased physical raid damage is more than enough to compensate for any minor advantage mutilate rogues have over equally geared combat rogues for single target fights.
But for multi target fights, combat wins hands down.
As for Arm pen. Yes Arm pen is good for a combat rogue. I picked up DBW and with the change from Arm pen proc to haste proc I now have my Arm Pen stacked to 1124 and its provided me ample DPS gain over AP and AG stacking. To get to the point where Arm Pen is worth it may be tough however because you wouldn't want to waste gems on Arm Pen before its your best stat, but once it is you will have to do a lot of regemming which would be expensive.
Rogues are probably the most complex dps class to maximize dps through gear, gems, and specs. All this bickering over what is best is just plain stupid.

Encrypted Text: Knowing your stats {WoW}
Jan 6th 2010 3:12PM I just picked up DW as combat and it is absolutely ridiculous.
I also saw something in regards to a change to DW. They said that classes that can easily reach the armor pen cap may not benefit from the armor pen buff. This leads me to believe that they may remove the armor pen buff completely from rogues. I had to change 2 arm pen gems out to drop below the 800 armor pen soft cap. I could easily regem and get very close to the hard cap since I think I only have 2 arm pen gems equipped.
Either way I'll be happy
Patch 3.3 PTR: Tier 10 set bonuses {WoW}

May 16th 2009 5:25PM Im not sure if the damage to gear in your bag is still in effect. The last time i rezed at a graveyard it was while raiding a major city and I didn't feel like running all the way back just to hearth.
I went to repair my gear and the stuff in my bag didn't take damage.
Shifting Perspectives: The dual-specced Druid {WoW}
Feb 18th 2009 10:29AM In TBC I was feral dps. Once I leveled to 80 I thought I would give healing a try at the request of some. I acctually enjoy it but I do miss feral dps. I've kept a set going (I even picked up black Ice) so when duel specs hit I can now effectively do both.

I don't even know how to ask this. I'm really bad with words sometimes.
I've been talking to Eli (centerfielder08) a lot recently, And he's been scaring me. If you've been reading his journals you'd know. He's been talking about suicide. It scares me so much.
So if you guys could please help out and support him that'd be great. Because he needs it right now.
Please everyone. I don't know if my help is enough.
I'm so terrified that he'll do something that he can't reverse.
So if we could all show some support, I really think that would help. So many of you here give much better advice than me, because you really know what you're talking about. I really want to help him through this.
Thanks everyone.
This is pretty much what we're all trying to say.
eli, babe, don't do. whatever it is, it is never that bad. life is too beautiful to cut it short.
so for those of you falling in love
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
throw yourself in the midst of danger
and keep one eye open at night.
--"Elephants" Rachel Yamagata
I love you. Alll of you. Just need to say that before it's to late.
Do what you told me you were going to do. I just pvt ed you back. Call your friend and do it right now. That's an order.

My parents won't let me use the phone. I'm stuck. Forever.
If you're that strict about obeying their rules, ask them if you can kill yourself.
If they say no, then you can't do that either.

Way to contribute and add sound advice. God, you can be such an idiot.

...there's a time and a place to attack Jeff's tactics if you so desire. I don't think this thread is the best for that. Let's focus on supporting Eli first, OK?
~~~ the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses ~ e e cummings ~~~
You're right. This isn't the best place.
However, Jeff totally deserves to be shown that what he is saying is inappropriate.
- One Nation, Under Darkness, with liberty and justice for white, heterosexual, rich, Christian men
Pointing out the absurdity of someone about to kill themselves in their bedroom not being able to call a suicidal hotline because their parents grounded them from using the phone may not be a message of support, but I think it's relevant to point out.
As I've never been depressed, suicidal, cutter, etc., I tend not to say much in these threads otherwise.
Of course, aside from poetry and entering contests, I think the only other thing I see you do on here is slam me on occasion, so have at it, I guess. Doesn't really affect me, so if it makes you feel better, I guess that's what Oasis is supposed to be here for.
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."
-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
I wouldn't "slam you" if some of the horrible things you say didn't need to be pointed out.
So stop defending your comments making fun of a suicidal teenager. You know full well that some of the stuff you say isn't exactly well thought out.
no you're not, you have us, right here, and we'll be here for as long as needed, okay?
so for those of you falling in love
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
throw yourself in the midst of danger
and keep one eye open at night.
--"Elephants" Rachel Yamagata
I have Eli on pvt, guys. Just keep lending her support. We're trying to get it all sorted out together.
- Pat Nelson Childs
"bringing strong gay & lesbian characters to Sci-Fi & Fantasy"
Eli, please, please don't do anything you can't undo.
"When the people begin to reason, all is lost" - Voltaire
We need you here, Eli. We're all here for you. Keep on going and it will never be too late.
eli you little shit! you wanna give me a fucking heart attack!?! we love you and want you HERE!!!
wow adam. that must make Eli feel a lot better. lol
i'm jewish, we've been guilt tripping people since before Jesus was born
Please stop, then think about the good things that have happened thus far. When I fell into deep depression, I found this very difficult to do but when I did it, it helped a lot. I had forgot a lot of those things. Blocked them out in order to help me rage. (as bad as that sounds.) But seeing good things that have happened to me, I began gaining hope that I could get all that back and then strived harder to get it.
Happiness is not unreachable. I have found that I have never been as happy as when I fell to my lowest and was then able to pull myself "back up by the bootstraps". You'll really appreciate all the little things that make you happy and will see that its a lot easier than you thought. Just start slow. And don't ever give up.
We're all here for you dude. Don't do anything stupid. Life is beautiful and wonderful and absolutely worth living, even if it doesn't seem that way all the time. Stick around.
so if you're reading this, check out the trevor project or the boys and girls town national hotline if you need to chat, or sned me a pm on the site agian dude. i'll listen. how'd riding the bike for the first time go???
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
*hug* i hope you feel better soon! and please don't do anything! *hug*
have been talking to eli to, eli, please, you know this isnt right for you. and use the phone when your parents arnt there. well maybe not, but i never follow rules very good.
RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN, ESPECIALLY AT A TIME LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!! USE THE PHONE!!!!! sorry, had to do that. (it was better than figuring out where you live, comming there, and screaming it at you while bashing your head against thephone you're forbidden to use, right?) *hugs* we;re here for ya.
"Up your ziggy with a wah-wah brush!"
-All I wanna Do (good movie. see it!)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure your parents would rather you use the phone than kill yourself. Not that it should be a choice between the two, but I think you get what we mean.
You're going through a lot more than most of the rest of us ever have. When you pull yourself through, you will have found this amazing strength that no one can ever take away. Please just think of that, and how things WILL get better. You can do that for yourself. And we're here to help as much as we can.
Ow...hurting like hell , only compared to this, hell is heaven.
Hang in there, Eli. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Eli's been messaging me on and off for the last couple of days.
Please encourage him to keep posting and messaging — I think he may be afraid of scaring us away.
And Eli, I'll say it again, we love you here. We will not abandon you.
Don't ever give up. The world needs you for something, and you've got to be here to find out what it is.
~~~ the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses ~ e e cummings ~~~
Fucking shoot me.
Anyone have a gun I can borrow?
All the prior comments made me feel great. Great that all of you on this site are so caring towards Eli's issues. Eli, you know I'm there for you. I wish I could fix it all for you. I can't. But I can listen and give some guidance. Don't stop PM-ing me. I enjoy talking to you. Look at the outpouring of love just given to you on the prior comments. You are somebody. You will make it through this. Keep PM-ing me! LOVE HOWIE
Yeah i have been helping Eli too. Eli, we are all here for you and like I've said before, just talk to someone. That's what therapists are paid to do, talk to you, listen, then give advice. Ok, that's more like a school counselor but you get my point. Don't be afraid to talk to her. xoxo And don't do anything you'll regret later. God put you on this earth for a reason, and even if you're an atheist, you're still on this earth for a reason. Think about that.
Don't hurt yourself, please, please don't. I know this is hard to think about but even when your being smothered by despair things can get better. Get help. Please, please don't do anything you can't take back. Life may be f-ed up right now but that's not enough reason to take your life out of the equation.
Everybody here cares about you Eli, hold on to that.
Love Happens
Hang in there, dude. It will get better.
Do I shock you darling?
-Sally Bowles, Cabaret
Thank you everyone for your support.
Right now I'm safe. I'm not an emergency case.
I haven't been on the site much recently, and I don't know you well at all, but I wanted to throw in a hug, and some wisdom from the distant tunnels of my own depression/suicidal thoughts. When I thought about killing myself, sometimes I tried to remember that someday, I would laugh again. There would be happiness again, even if fleeting. Maybe I would even laugh once tomorrow. If there was going to be any positivity in the future, would I want to end my life now and miss out? That helped sometimes. I kept on telling myself I would get out, it would get better. And although I had a really terrible time growing up, I have so much more strength and wisdom now because of it.
Finally, know that you are not alone! You are never alone. There are always people out there that care a lot about you. Life is a great gift and opportunity, painful but also with potential for such wonder. PM me if you need to.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. --Anais Nin
I think I take that back (of what I last said.)
I can't say anything that wouldn't be redundant. All I can do is offer you my ear. Know that nobody wants to see you die. Look how many people have sent out their love and support to you. If you won't keep living for yourself, for now keep living for us. Eventually you will find happiness
And I will guarantee that.
Eli, I may not know you, but you shouldn't kill yourself. I know what you are going through. You can pm me whenever if you just need an understanding ear. Don't kill yourself. The world is a better place with you here. Dozens of people are here ato help and support you. Just hang in there. *Hugs*
I know this is an old forum but I just wanted to say Thanks to everyone.
I'm back now :)

The directory of community and business organisations in Broadstone Dorset | |
Residents Association MagazineSummer 2003 - 1 |
BEECROFT - THE BROADSTONE NURSERYBeecroft Nursery has its roots in Broadstone. Its founders John and Rita Soffe had a house of that name on the site of what is now Hadleigh House surgery in Story Lane with grounds extending into what is now Somerfields' car park. When the council wanted to acquire the site they offered the Soffes a four acre site in Queen Anne Drive, mainly woodland and rough pasture. The nursery seems to have evolved almost by chance out of John's landscaping business, fuelled by the demand for trees, shrubs and plants on the new estate then being built at Merley. Areas of woodland and pasture were cleared as the need arose for potting sheds, growing areas and greenhouse. This has led to the current rather informal layout - with no right angles, few straight lines and several different levels - a source of intense frustration to 'He who must be obeyed' (tho' he rarely is!). Not the easiest site to work with, still enclosed by the green beech hedges of the original gardens has a certain charm and intimacy - a quality not found at the supermarket! Today the nursery continues under the ownership of Damon Corio who started his horticultural career as a mere lad working with John and Rita. Nowadays it is a much more difficult world for the small independent garden centre but despite increasing competition from the big 'multiples' and DIY stores we still have a role to play. Using smaller growers who often have their own special fields of expertise, we can offer that 'something different' usually grown to a high standard and while we cannot offer the hugely discounted 'loss leaders' of the large stores we do maintain very competitive prices. Above all we try to provide a personal service giving advice where we can, we may not always know the answers but will endeavour to find out and can sometimes source that hard to find plant. We may not tell you "to have a nice day" but will give friendly helpful service. The nursery trade is, by its nature, very seasonal and we are always looking at least two seasons ahead. By the time this magazine is printed, spring bulbs will be on sale and we will be reviewing the season's successes and weeding out the poor performers. August is a good time to be doing this in our own gardens too, the summer's main glory is fading but we can look at ways of extending it into the autumn. Many grasses come into their own at this time with often spectacular seed/flower heads particularly stipas, miscanthus, briza and deschampsia. A wonderful prairie effect can be achieved by intermingling these with daisy flowered types such as rudbeckia, echinacea, helenium asters and erigeron, all flowering well into the autumn - for a vibrant summer show use poppies - icelandic, welsh or annual all work well. Keep your summer bedding working by dead heading and watering. If you remembered to feed through the season you will still be enjoying a good display. But the most important advice at this time is, to sit back and enjoy what you have created. There won't be many more balmy summer days so make the most of them! P.S. September is a good time for taking cuttings of your favourite roses. Take a 9" cutting; cut off the soft tip above a leaf; trim the base at a slant; use a spade to make a slit in the soil in a sheltered part of the garden; trickle some sand in; insert your cutting and firm the soil around. In six months you should have a well-rooted cutting. Readers presenting the voucher during August or September will receive 10% discount at Beecroft. We look forward to meeting you. Say you saw it on "Broadstone NET" |

The new valuation came after a note from Morgan Stanley, in which it was said that Tesla's 12-month projected share price would exceed $320. The company's market total value, now at around $30.4 billion, is actually more than half that of GM – after the shares went up more than seven times in the past years – despite some setbacks caused by the reported accidents in which the Model S caught fire.
Adam Jonas, a Morgan Stanley analyst, said in his note that Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's battery factory plans could also aid Tesla more than double its worldwide market share to reach around 1% – a feat that could affect both automotive and energy industry.
"If it can be a leader in commercializing battery packs, investors may never look at Tesla the same way again, said Jonas, who rates the shares overweight. ''If Tesla can become the world's low-cost producer in energy storage, we see significant optionality for Tesla to disrupt adjacent industries.''
The analyst predicted the $320 per share price on estimation for a 15-year outlook that would allow the company to grow and expand its line-up and businesses. Following the note, shares of Tesla were raised 14% in New York to $248.

Exhaust manifold bolts commonly break, exhaust manifold gaskets should be replaced and replace bolts as needed.
Problems for specific Dodge Ram 1500 years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 problems
Coolant Loss and Engine Overheating
Engine overheating can result from coolant leaks which are commonly found at the thermostat housing gasket, water pump, heater return tube O-ring at the water pump, intake manifold gasket, and timing cover gasket. Our technicians recommend a complete inspection of the cooling system after any repairs are made to be sure there are no other leaks.
Water Leak Due to Faulty Rear Window Seal
On some models a void in the rear window seal may cause a water leak. Water may be present on or under the carpet. The seal will need to be replaced if that is the source.
Cam Sensor Failure Causing no Start or Stalling
On the 3.7L V6 and 4.7L V8 the camshaft position sensor may fail and cause the engine to crank but not start or it can cause intermittent stalling. A failed camshaft sensor will require replacement.
Odor from HVAC vents
Some vehicles may develop a musty odor coming from the HVAC system, Dodge has issued a cleaner/disinfectant and a coating for the evaporator designed to inhibit bacterial growth.
Check Engine Light Due to Pinched Leak Detection Pump Vacuum Lines
If a Check Engine Light illuminates indicating leak detection pump (LDP) failure, the cause is often pinched or disconnected vacuum lines to the pump. Vacuum lines should be inspected before replacing the leak detection pump. Contamination (carbon or debris) in the pump can cause failure and any hoses should be cleared before a new pump is installed.
Rerouting Ignition Coil/Spark Plug Wires Can Solve Misfire/Surge Problems
On the 3.9L V6 and 5.2L V8, rerouting the ignition coil wire and spark plug wires can help solve a misfire and/or surge problem that occurs at approximately 45 mph. A service bulletin was published that outlines the specifics of the repair. It states the rerouting procedure should be performed before other repairs are done for misfires, surging or spark knock.
Power Seat May Rock Due to Seat Track Issue
The track for the power seat may need to be replaced if the seat rocks when the vehicle accelerates or slows down.
Replace Transmission Cooler Return Filter if it Has "AB" Suffix
If the transmission delays initial gear engagement after being parked overnight or longer, it may be due to a suspect transmission cooler return filter. If the transmission was recently serviced and the part number for the cooler return filter contains an "AB" suffix at the end, a new filter should be installed.
The Front Door Weatherstrip May Tear
The drip rail door seal may become torn form contact with the lower A-piller. A revised secondary door seal is available to correct this concern. This is not a recall but a technical service bulletin (TSB) which means the failed part will be replaced at the customers expense once the warranty has expired.
Check Engine Light Due to Failed Thermostat
The thermostat may fail to close completely, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. This problem will prevent the engine from reaching normal operating temperature; a new thermostat should be installed.
Moisture may collect in PCV system and freeze in cold climates
The 3.7L V6 and 4.7L V8 in very cold climates (below freezing temperatures) moisture can collect in the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system and freeze. This will cause various drivability problems and there are revised PCV system components to repair this concern.
Software Updates Available for Check Engine Light Issues
The Check Engine Light may illuminate for many different reasons, some of which may be corrected by updating the software in the powertrain control module (PCM).
Throttle Body May Malfunction in Very Cold Climates
The throttle body may malfunction in very cold climates causing symptoms at engine start up. A throttle body causing problems will require replacement.

Lazy gunSubmitted by guesty on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 2:55pm.
Here are the results of an experiment I conducted recently regarding how guns kill people. I had to see it for myself. Today, I swung my front door wide open and placed my Ithaca model M-87 Featherlite 12 gauge shotgun right in the middle of the doorway. I placed 6 double-0 shotgun shells right next to it. Then I noticed that my shotgun had no legs, so I placed it in a wheelchair to help it get around. Then, I left it alone and went about my business. While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign right in front of our house. After about an hour, I checked on my shotgun. I was surprised to see it was still sitting there in the wheelchair, right where I had left it. It hadn't rolled itself outside and it certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Now, you can well imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how guns kill people. Either the media is wrong and it's the misuse of guns by PEOPLE that kills people, or I'm in possession of the laziest shotgun in the world. Well, so much for my lazy shotgun. Now I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat. I want to find out how they do that. Author unknown »

US Blanks manufactures a water blown, Toluene Diisocyanate based polyester polyurethane blank. We feel this combination provides the best physical properties required by a surfboard, resulting in the strongest blank possible, and yields the best performance qualities. The quality, stability and consistency of a TDI based polyurethane blank has long made it the choice of the majority of board builders.
While there are many formulations available for a TDI based blank, we believe our formulation provides the optimum strength while maintaining ease of shaping and maximum flex. We are continuously fine tuning our formulation to supply the shaper with a blank that exceeds industry standards for these characteristics.
US Blanks has also spent considerable time and resources exploring alternate technologies in surfboard manufacturing. The rapidly progressing developments of epoxies have brought forth a very viable alternative for many board builders. As a result of our extensive research and development we are now offering our new alternative product line of Superfused Molded EPS Foam Blanks. These blanks are currently offered in 6 different sizes, 2 different densities as well as several different thicknesses giving unlimited options to the shaper. Recognizing the importance of this technology we wanted to ensure that our customers are provided with the very best EPS foam on the market. Although our SUPERFUSED EPS product line is new, it has already set a new industry standard and we look forward to advancing and developing this technology even further into the future. Our EPS blanks can be found immediately following the Polyurethane Blank Section in this catalog.

Wayne Thiebaud: Cityscapes
Exhibition catalog with an interview with the artist by Richard Wollheim. 52 pages with color reproductions. Published by Campbell-Thiebaud Gallery, San Francisco, 1993. From the interview: "I've always painted out-of-doors, with a French easel, some in the city, but not very much. So I started from the San Francisco intersection, and I remember one time painting on the street, and a nice man came along, an older fellow, and he stayed longer than most people would, and he watched, and finally he couldn't resist, and he said, 'I'll be God-damned. You are painting the intersection.' He couldn't believe it. So I knew from the beginning that I was in trouble. After painting directly on the street, and making 20 or 30 pictures that way, I felt none of them were very successful. The reason for not feeling that they were delivering on what I had hoped for had to do with some sort of dramatic feeling in this peculiar San Francisco landscape, and the on-site works weren't reflecting this. And, during this time, I had a chance to talk to the critic Brian O'Doherty, and he was relating to me how Edward Hopper worked on his city pictures. He made lots of different sketches, watercolors, drawings, and then he put them together, like a stage set. So I thought I would try that and see if it might help. I went back to the studio, and began to make a lot of drawings with graphite or charcoal on paper, which I could move around a lot, kind of playing around with them. These drawings seemed to offer more the kind of visual and physical feeling that was closer to the idea of San Francisco. So, when I returned to painting again, the city itself looked more like the composite drawings I had been making. And that dialogue between what was actually there and what was made up became the basis of the entire series. So in a sense, these early examples were an initiation into the project. [The artist refers to paintings in the exhibition that were dated about 1973 and were among the first of the cityscape series, which were executed over more than a twenty-year period.]"

Removal of volatile fatty acids in anaerobic digestion of organic wastes can accelerate eventual decomposition of organic wastes to CO2 and H2O using a recovery of electric energy by a microbial fuel cell. The fuel cell anode chamber was a 10 cm (I.D.)×20 cm long cylindrical Plexiglass having an ion ceramic cylinder separator (I.D.10 mm, O.D.12 mm, 0.3 μm average pore size). The aluminum foil cathode (12 cm2 surface area) was located inside the ceramic cylinder. Between the two cylinders, 1 liter of activated carbon particles was packed as anode electrode having a void fraction of 0.4. This fuel cell was connected to a 5 liter bioreactor (working volume 1.5 liter), and the bioreactor was run in batch mode by re-circulating a synthetic wastewater of 5 g/L glucose. Maximum TVFA (total volatile fatty acids) and SCOD (soluble chemical oxygen demand) removal rate were 3.79 g/L·day, 5.88 g/L·day, respectively. TVFA removal efficiency (92.7%) and SCOD removal efficiency (94.7%) under maximum current density operation were higher than the operation with maximum power density. In acid fermentation, butyric acid concentration was highest because Clostridium butyricum was a dominant microbial communitiy in the inoculum. The microbial cells collected from the anode bio-film samples were affiliated with Bacillus cereus based on the nucleotide sequences of dominant DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) bands.

Andrews, Williams-Goss lead Huskies to rivalry rout
Andrew Andrews scored 16 points in the UW's win over Washington State on Friday night and grabbed nine rebounds. He and freshman Nigel Williams-Goss combind for 33 points.
Not many things about this season have gone as scripted for the Washington men's basketball team. The end of it, however, is off to a pretty good start.
It may be too late for the Huskies to salvage an NCAA berth, save for a miraculous run in the Pac-12 tournament, but their 72-49 win over Washington State on Friday night makes things a little sweeter going into the final weeks of the season. The Huskies have won back-to-back games by more than 20 points now and have head coach Lorenzo Romar encouraged that they are playing their best at the end of the season.
"That's what you would want," Romar said. "If you could script it that way, you would want to be playing your best at the end of the year."
The Huskies probably didn't script a night when senior C.J. Wilcox scored only eight points, but they came away with a win Friday, thanks to a pair of underclassmen guards.
Freshman Nigel Williams-Goss and sophomore Andrew Andrews led the Huskies to a wire-to-wire victory over WSU, avenging their Feb. 1 loss to the Cougars in Pullman, Wash. The pair combined for 33 points and 21 rebounds. The freshman tallied his second straight double-double, leading the team with 17 points and a career-high 12 rebounds. Andrews is averaging 16.5 points per game in the past four contests after he only played five minutes against Stanford on Jan. 18.
"I think right now at this point of the season several guys are stepping up and playing at a higher level than they were at the beginning of the year," Romar said. "Multiple guys are showing up on the same night."
WSU guard DaVonté Lacy, a childhood friend of Andrews', was dynamic for the Cougars, leading all scorers with 25 points, but got no help from his teammates as no one else sporting crimson got more than seven points. D.J. Shelton grabbed 15 rebounds and was WSU's second-leading scorer, but missed all 10 of his 3-point attempts. The Huskies kept the Cougars to 31.1 percent shooting from the field and without a field goal in the final 13 minutes of the game.
Lacy cut the deficit to single digits at the 13:04 mark of the second half, but that was the last field goal of the night for the Cougars. Two minutes later, Williams-Goss stole momentum back for the Huskies for good, as he got a steal and took it down the court for a fastbreak, one-handed dunk.
Of the dunk, Andrews and Williams-Goss both laughed, saying that it was barely a dunk, but whatever it was, it was effective: It put the Huskies up by 11 and sent them on a 9-0 run that sealed the game.
The Huskies shot 51 percent for the game and held the Cougars to 4-of-23 shooting from beyond the arc. All four of WSU's long-range buckets from Lacy, who was 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Lacy's teammates shot a combined 8-of-31 from the field.
"We knew DaVonté is one of their best players, as a matter of fact, their best player," Andrews said. "When he gets going, the others will feed off him. We knew DaVonté was going to take his shots, and we were just really focusing on trying to limit the other players from getting going."
Lacy hit clutch 3-pointers for the Cougars in Pullman on the first day of the month to give them their second conference win of the season. That game was the first of a three-game losing streak for the Huskies and something that motivated them for the rematch.
"We felt like that was kind of a turning point of the season," Williams-Goss said.
The Huskies didn't script that loss, but their win Friday went just according to plan. Whether the rest of the season will follow suit is something that will be decided in the coming weeks, starting Thursday when the Huskies host UCLA at 6 p.m.

Plenary Speakers' Bio and Abstract
Gabriel Diaz Maggioli
Change is Good: You go first!In this presentation we will explore how teachers can be empowered through change to become true educational leaders. In a profession characterized by ever-present innovation, how can teachers remain sane, grounded and focused on student's learning? We will explore ten lessons I have learned over the course of my career from peers, mentors and experts which have helped me constantly rediscover my passion for teaching.
Gabriel Diaz Maggioli is a teacher who applies the lessons learnt in the classroom to his work as teacher educator, materials writer and educational administrator. He currently directs the MATESOL program at The New School University in New York.
Thomas S.C. Farrell -- Plenary session sponsored by TESOL France
Reflecting on Reflective PracticeThese days, 'reflection' and 'reflective practice' are very popular terms used in language teacher education and development programs. Many educators agree that some form of reflection is a desirable; however, the agreement stops there because there is still almost no consensus as to what reflective practice is. Perhaps this state of indecisiveness about what reflective practice in education means that it is time to return to the work of two influential scholars who brought this concept to prominence at different times when it was important: John Dewey and Donald Schön. In this interactive talk I look at the roots of reflective inquiry from Dewey's (1933) original perspective and then look at how Donald Schön (1983, 1987) interpreted Dewey's conceptions of reflection in his work. I will then try to connect these interpretations of reflective practice to its meaning for teachers today and how teachers can reflect on their beliefs and classroom practices.
Thomas S.C. Farrell is Professor of Applied Linguistics at Brock University, Canada. His professional interests include Reflective Practice, and Language Teacher Education and Development. His recent books include Teaching Practice: A Reflective Approach: New York: Cambridge University Press (2011, with Jack Richards). In 2012 his book Reflective Writing for Language Teachers will appear (Equinox, UK).
Chia Suan Chong -- Plenary session sponsored by TESOL France
(Mis)-Applied LinguisticsSince the late 1960s, we've seen a move away from grammar towards communicative competence, the emphasis on the role of interaction in language acquisition, and the drawbacks of pre-determining the linguistic content of a lesson. We claim that we've moved into a communicative era of language teaching, but how far are we really from the grammar syllabi of the 1950s? Are we doing much more than paying lip service to the Communicative Approach when all we really want to see is the past continuous 'covered' once the past simple is 'dealt with'? Do we claim that we know that language learning isn't linear, but secretly wonder why our students still get the present perfect wrong after we spent 3 hours on it last week? Are the theories of Applied Linguistics really being applied?
Chia Suan Chong is a General and Business English teacher at International House London, where she also runs teacher training courses such as the CELTA and Cert IBET. Building on research conducted during and following her MA in Applied Liguistics (King's College London) she is a regular conference presenter on English as a Lingua Franca, Dogme, Systemic Functional Grammar, and Intercultural Pragmatics. She is passionate about languages - she currently speaks 5 and is working on the next - and blogs regularly at chiasuanchong.com.

Jersey Shore's Sammi "Sweatheart" To Face Assault Charges After South Beach Club Brawl
Categories: Crime, Reality Bites
Sammi "Sweatheart" has fists of fury |
The brawl took place this Saturday at Club Dream on South Beach. DeMinco claims she was assaulted and took two of Sweetheart's sweet-fists to the face. Afterward, the cast got into yet another altercation and were then thrown out.
This doesn't seem to be some stunt for the cameras, and the State Attorney's Office is involved. This is serious.
Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office will hold a press conference this afternoon at 2:30 to discuss the charges. DeMinco will also announce a civil lawsuit against 22-year-old Giancola.
"They will also discuss...the disturbing trend of Jersey Shore stars getting into physical altercations for increased television ratings," says a statement from the State Attorney's Office.
Previously, castmember Snooki got into a drink throwing and slap fight with a guy at an Ocean Drive bar, and also allegedly got into another physical fight, with JWWoW at her side, at an unnamed South Beach club last weekend.

BidHere is NOT a Gambling Site!
The BidHere.com online auction is an auction of skilful strategic bidding, and contains no chance element. Thus, when participating in an auction with other BidHere Members, your speed and skill in placing your bids is assessed against other Members. The winner will be the Member who, through strategic judgment, skill and experience, remains the last bidder on a product as an auction ends.
1. Skill and strategy are required in order to win an auction.
When you gamble in a casino, for example, you are playing a game of chance set up in favor of the house. BidHere.com does not play games of luck! BidHere Members develop strategies that work for them over and over again, by developing personal bidding skills. That's why most BidHere bidders tend to win more auctions over time.
2. BidHere does not employ any special rules or strategies that "favor the house" in our Auctions.
The only variables are of other customers bidding in the auction. When you are bidding against a less experienced member, an experienced BidHere Member has the advantage!
BidHere.com does not have a system that automatically generates bids in auctions, such as bots or other automated systems. Nor are our employees or family members of our employees allowed to place bids in our auctions. BidHere.com guarantees that all bids are placed by actual members.
3. Whenever you buy bids on BidHere, you get real value.
Casino chips are worthless if you lose! You don't get any credit for buying them in the first place. But when you purchase BidHere bid packs, they build up credit towards future auctions. Therefore, even if you lose the auctions, you are still gaining value that can see you rewarded with further products or additional bid packs. Therefore, no bids are ever really wasted.
4. Real gambling is 'random' which means that this type of gambling is beyond the control of any of the players.
Casino games involve dice, cards or spinning wheels which include the 'random' element . No such element is included in any BidHere auction which is more like a sporting event, with people competing against each other on a level playing field.
5. We have incorporated a "Buy Now" option that allows you to use the bids you've spent on the auction to reduce the Retail Price of the product.
When you use the 'Buy Now' option on BidHere, your bids continue to retain value. You can use the bids on auctions you've lost to get a reduction in the Retail Price of the product. That is not possible when gambling at a casino!
6. BidHere can be best compared to traditional offline auctions, and even here BidHere offers an extra Bonus!!
When 'Christies' or any other auction house stages an auction, they insist that anyone who wants to participate pay an entrance fee. BidHere charges zero registration fees and this is a bonus for you!
Just like 'Christies', BidHere allows the auction to last as long as people are willing to continue bidding, including the use of a BidMonkeyTM, which can be set up in any Member's favour with skill and experience.
This type of auction system has been used for centuries because it creates a fair competitive environment. Without membership fees or extended time limits, auctions would become similar to a sweepstake or lottery.
BidHere has been set up in the United States with the help of some of the most experienced auction attorneys to ensure that it is operating in compliance with federal, state, and local laws.
7. Legally, penny auctions are considered part of the American competitive tradition.
We had a United States Legal Team research exactly what constitutes gambling from a legal standpoint. There are two important points to consider:
- To be construed as gambling, winning must be based completely or mostly on chance.
- While there is an element of chance in any activity, as long as skill is the primary method of winning, then it is not gambling. For example, courts have ruled that skill-based competitions, such as hole-in-one contests, basketball games and horseshoes are part of the great American tradition.
8. Penny Auctions are legally permitted to operate in most countries.
Only people living in approved countries may bid. Most Penny Auction websites are only viewable in the counties where participation is allowed, i.e. The USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand plus others. For various reasons, some countries are currently excluded from most Penny Auction sites.

Ciao Bella's New Novelties Debut in Time for Summer
Categories: First Impressions
via Ciao Bella |
The Belgian chocolate s'mores have a staple graham cracker outside, which, as one might imagine with a frozen product, was a little soft and crumbly around the edges. They come four to a box; each square is 88 grams. The chocolate gelato might not be as smooth and soft as that found in a gelateria, but it is tasty, creamy, and satisfying. The swirls of marshmallow are a tease.
via Ciao Bella |
"Antioxidants," the creator of this treat proclaims, "have been linked with anti-aging, anti-cancer, and heart-health benefits. Blueberries and lemons are highest in antioxidant capacity per serving because of the high content of vitamin C and anthocyanin."
There is good fruit flavor (without being too tart) and a soft, vivid consistency. Perhaps aiding in achieving that consistency is the use of tapioca syrup as opposed to corn syrup. The tapioca syrup "is a natural, clean, starch that is used to add thaw stability in frozen application, because of its binding capability and ice crystal inhibition it helps the texture and the mouth feel in the finish product," says Chef Zecchin. Fat free and dairy free, another plus is that each bar is only 70 calories.
via Ciao Bella |
Chef Danilo Zecchin |
So what are some of the products that never made it out of the kitchen? Zecchin shared, "Something too extreme like 'Pears and Gorgonzola Cheese Sorbet' or 'Mustard Gelato.' Or (something) too expensive like a 'Persimmon Sorbet' or 'Matsuke Mushroom Gelato.'"
Ciao Bella's products can be found locally at The Fresh Market and Whole Foods. You can check online for a store near you.

Getting an edge - Young lobstermen compete, strive and thrive in the fisheryby Sandra Dinsmore
The 2004 graduates of the Marine Technology program at Deer Isle-Stonington High School have been fishing full time for the past season, and the students from the class that will graduate this month fished all last summer and weekends till the end of the season. They are now putting their traps overboard for the 2005 season. They began fishing with relatives from the time they were old enough to bait pockets, they've worked hard for a year, and by now, these successful young businessmen all own late model pick-up trucks and their own boats. In most cases the boats are not their first. Dinner table conversation at the houses of several of these young lobstermen who have fishermen fathers can run from serious and respectful to downright funny. Ever since Matthew Shepard started fishing full time in summer, he and his father, lobsterman Mike Shepard, have made a game over who gets to sit in the big, comfortable chair when they come in from fishing. And since Matt's been fishing full time all year, the playful competition has taken on new meaning. Suzy Shepard, Mike's wife and Matthew and Patrick's mother, said, "Whoever gets the most poundage gets the big chair. It's funny. They won't tell each other the poundage, so then they go scrounging around the desk for each other's daily slips. One of them says, 'You got X pounds, but I got X more, so get out of my chair.'" Suzy said Matt so wanted to beat his father's poundage that he kept his traps overboard till after January of this year, just so he could start out X number of pounds ahead of his father, then teased him about it all winter. "People would pay to watch this ping-pong match go back and forth at my table," she said of their dinner conversations. "I could sell tickets." Mike and Matt's seats face the water, she said, and Mike will say, "It's going to blow tomorrow. You ought to stay home." (He's not going to go out. He wants Matthew to stay home and keep him company.) Matthew replies, "I don't think it's going to blow that hard; I'm going out." Mike says, "Well, I think you should wait for a better day." Matt says, "Well, that will mess me all up." (He hauls in a certain order. He wants the set-over to be a certain number of days.) That's the kind of back-and-forth. But behind all the banter, a lot of respect flows in either direction. Respect is the name of the game in the Weed house, according to Linda Weed, wife of lobsterman Gerald Weed and mother of Ben. "Ben is very much follower of what his father does," she said. "They talk very candidly about locations. Ben listens very intently to what his father says to him and they compare the tally at the end of the day. Other than that, Ben is very much what I would consider a learner. He follows his father's advice and suggestions." Ben has quite the sense of humor, but his mother says, "He's very serious around his dad. Jerry definitely brings out the more mature side to him, the more serious side." Most fishermen are very private about what they do to get an edge and are very jealous of the success of other fishermen. It can be nasty. But because there are so few students from the classes of 2004 and 2005 and because they've grown up together and worked together for the common good, they're a tight bunch. Any competition is just good-natured rivalry, mostly about which area, the Eastern Bay or the Western Bay, produces better landings. The Shepard and the Weed families vacationed together last year. The Weeds fish in the Eastern Bay and the Shepards, in the Western Bay. Linda Weed said, "Our dinner-table conversation was very ping-pongish in regard to - all this back-and-forth about which bay was better. "There's a tremendous amount of respect between, I think, [father and son], but especially from Ben to Jerry," she continued. "I would say his father is the best teacher Ben ever had. I'm relatively sure Ben would say the same thing. Certainly, Tom Duym was a Marine Trades teacher and Dennis Saindon was a shop teacher at Deer Isle-Stonington High School. Like Suzy Shepard, Shari Ciomei has three fishermen at her dinner table: husband, Butch; older son Seth, 20, and younger son Lance, a senior at Deer Isle-Stonington High School. She said her husband always took the boys in the boat with they were younger, and they learned a lot from him, but like Matt Shepard, Seth and Lance put their traps where they want to. "Although they're independent about where they put their traps," she said, "they take their father's advice on other aspects of the fishing industry." On a rainy Sunday in early May, Matthew Shepard, Ben Weed and Richard Robinson, from the class of 2004, and Scott Blackmore and Lance Ciomei, from the class of 2005, met in Ben Weed's workshop in Deer Isle to compare notes on what kind of gear and bait they use. Matt Shepard, 19, who started fishing at age seven, drives a 2003 Dodge Ram. At age 19, he's on his third boat. His parents bought him and his brother their first boat, a 21-foot Privateer outboard. He bought his own 20-foot Mitchell Cove powerboat at age 16, and now fishes from a 29-foot Osmond Beal. He uses yellow vinyl-covered oversize four-foot traps and wraps rag rope around the edge that could damage the boat. He said, "I figure if it saves a scratch on the side of my boat, it's worth it." He hangs his bait off the cleat of the trap's first bridge, right in front of the "kitchen." Depending on the time of year, he'll use mackerel, pollock heads, brim, hake heads, haddock racks, and cowhide, but mostly he uses herring. Ben Weed, 19, started fishing as a fifth grader. He drives a 2004 Chevy extended cab truck, and is on his third boat. His first was a 12-foot skiff. He graduated to a 22-foot outboard, and now works out of a 30-foot SouthShore with his 53 year-old sternman, Bobby Barter. He fishes both 42-inch and 4-foot yellow vinyl-covered wire traps with 9-inch pockets, which he hangs "kind of in the middle between the kitchen and parlor." He uses herring for bait, which he mixes with hard bait at certain times of the year and said of the types of bait, traps, and method of placing the bait, "It's all a guessing game." Richard Robinson, 19, drives a 2001 Dodge Ram and also has a 1992 F-350 Ford. He started fishing at ten. He works in the back of Matt Shepard's boat during the week while Matt's younger brother Patrick, an eleventh-grader, attends school. On weekends, Patrick takes over as his brother's sternman and Richard fishes from his own boat using 4-foot purple vinyl-coated wire traps, He doesn't wrap his traps. He hangs his bait from the bridge and uses herring, cowhide and redfish for bait. He has had two boats: he started with a 14-foot outboard and now has a 34-foot Arno Day. Lance Ciomei, 18, drives a 2002 Chevy heavy duty 2500 pickup. He started fishing with his father at five or six. His fishes white vinyl-covered 54 inch-long "oversize four-footers" wrapped with orange-and-green poly rope to keep the trap from chafing the boat. He said, "I just want to try them. I have five to try. They're brand new." He uses 12-inch bait pockets filled with some hard bait mixed in with the herring. Lance is on his second boat, a 32-foot Mitchell Cove, a step up from his first, a 22-foot Webbers Cove. His sternman is 18 year-old Mac Hardy. Scott Blackmore, 18, who's been fishing since he was ten, drives a 2005 Chevy Colorado crew cab. He fishes oversize 3-foot white vinyl-covered traps. He wraps the edge that might scratch the boat and hangs his bait right in the middle of the bridge. He uses mostly herring till September. He said, "It gets mixed with hard bait once the wind starts to pick up." He's had two boats: a 16-foot outboard, and for the last three years, an 18-foot outboard. Scott, who has a sister working in the back of the boat, said, "I don't want to set out while I'm in school. It's a lot of work, so I'll wait till after graduation." There has been jealousy of the success of these hard-working young men. But nobody gave them those trucks and boats. They earned them through their intelligence, diligence, and hard work.

I'm deciding when to come out. Being me, I'm seeing what schedule to put this on, and how to do it. I wouldn't really care about coming out, its not really a big deal in my life, but I want to be out before college. I mean, I eventually want to date someone. Not being out is kind of detrimental to that. Yeah.
I was thinking about this year, but I'm a little to chickenshit for that, and I'm afraid I'll be way to nervous to try to present myself properly. I don't mean to have any kind of grand dramatic announcement or anything like that, just starting to be honest when people ask me or mentioning it in passing, but I still don't know if I''ll be able to present or defend myself without making a fool of myself. And i want to at least to pretend to be confident when I do this, because I know it will be taken a lot better that way.
There's also the part about who to tell. I mean my friends first, and I know I'll be fine there, but I would like to be open to my teammates after that and that is going to be a bit sketchy.
It's also more complicated because I don't know what exactly to tell them. I can't say I'm gay, because I don't know if I am or not. I know I like girls, but I don't know if I like boys too. And I don't want to rule out the possibility of dating someone I like just because I'm too afraid to try to further explain myself, which I can see myself doing. And saying you're bi has an even worse stigma attached to it than just saying your gay, at least from my experience. So I don't know.
I mean, there's no great rush for me, but I just don't have a simple route to go, which is basically the only thing holding me back. I mean, it's simple on paper "Just Come out" but its a lot more complicated in my head and in person.
Or if you think you like all people you can come out as pansexual, because then it probably sounds like you know what you are talking about.
Just some thoughts....

What Does $31 Billion Buy Us? Border Guards Who Get Attacked Every Day.
And Tom Tancredo's the reactionary here, right?
Alien and drug smugglers along the U.S.-Mexico border have spawned a rise in violence against federal, state and local law enforcement authorities, who say they are outmanned and outgunned.
"They've got weapons, high-tech radios, computers, cell phones, Global Positioning Systems, spotters and can react faster than we are able to," said Shawn P. Moran, a 10-year U.S. Border Patrol veteran who serves as vice president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 1613 in San Diego.
Apparently, our Border Patrol has very few of those things. That or they're not allowed to deploy them in any meaningful way. Either one is absolutely unconscionable.
You may not want to close the border, but surely we can agree that we shouldn't allow our Border Patrol agents to be attacked so often that they don't even bother writing up full reports on the incidents. Surely.
Do read on. It gets better.
Here's a great quote from DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff. And by "great" I mean, "something that makes my head explode".
"We must provide the manpower and resources they need to carry out their duties, and we are working hard to make sure they get them," Mr. Chertoff said during a speech in Houston this month
Why on God's green Earth didn't they have all of this already?
Last year, the DHS budget was $42.7 billion. Does Michael Chertoff expect me to believe that he couldn't find a billion dollars to man and equip our Border Patrol sufficiently? What's the holdup?
It sure as heck isn't money. Since it was founded, we have given the DHS somewhere in the area of 221 billion dollars, or an average of about 31 billion dollars each year for the past six years. There is no excuse for not making sure that the Border Patrol has every single person and the equipment they need for them to do their job. No excuse at all. That the Border Patrol is under daily attack is simply intolerable. If Michael Chertoff allows it to happen one more day without serious and immediate action – and by that I mean stripping every stinking bureaucrat out of DHS to hire actual enforcement personnel to reinforce our besieged officers, then he is grossly incompetent and I want him fired. Tomorrow.
Think about that for a minute, folks. 31 billion dollars a year and we're being attacked and out gunned by Mexican drug dealers and smugglers every single day. Do you doubt for even a femtosecond that some Islamist flush with some cash courtesy of Mad Mahmoud or one of the Saudi King's madrassahs couldn't buy his way over the border? How in the world could we ever catch them, what with our border guard having to keep their heads down all the time lest it be shot off? Doesn't this fill you with even a tiny amount of anger that you money is being apparently frittered away while good men and women are risking their lives every single day in a desperate fight to keep you safe when you sleep at night?
What in the world are we doing?

Lime green lightning bugs lit up the road late on a school night
and you squeezed my hand while lip-syncing to Ed Sheeran.
Inside your car, we were safe and invisible, baby.
You rested your cheek on my shoulder and I fell
for the dangerous tints of maple in your irises.
Maybe it was naive or maybe it was real;
either way, we threw caution to the wind
along with the ash from our convenience
store cigarettes and kissed hotly like nobody could stop us.
You were someone I wanted to keep forever;
tie you up with imaginary rope and trap you
inside the denim shadows of my closet case memory.
But you weren't so uptight; didn't worry about being
discovered and always tried to avoid confrontation
with a cool summer rain smile.
In this cowboy stargazer equation,
I was the emotional one with
messy hair and poet tears
watering up my vision and
you were a saint from the outside;
valedictorian and most likely to succeed,
even though none of it would've
existed if your friends knew the truth
about what you liked to do with me
once the last bell rang at three.
"I love you like crazy," you
would say to me in private,
wearing an old jersey and
holding me on the couch in the basement.
The veins in your arms
looked like branches;
skinny and scary as hell.
But I traced them with my fingers until
you flipped us over and
made me swear in frustrated groans
that, come senior year,
we would still be doing
this because according to you,
we were invincible together.
Yeah, what we felt was unrealistic
hope and the thrill of playing with fire.
But I wanted you like a drop of sin;
like the best damn lie ever invented
under cornflower skies with bruised
lips and my hands climbing
up your train track spine.
Baby, we weren't careful
because where's the fun in that, right?
Then one afternoon, a door creaked open
and your father walked in on us huddled
under the dragonfly bulb.
Sometimes I wonder where we'd be if
he had waited a couple more seconds.
Would you be here instead of across
the country where the air
smells like salt and seaweed with
another lover whispering
jokes in your ear and autumn
leaves sticking to your book bag?
But it's too hard to miss you
when you're taken so I'm letting
go and it's okay because
maybe I was just a kid anyway.
I've nothing more to say other than... Great!
no almost nothing of I write is autobiographical lol. Glad you like it, though. thanks :D
DAMN! that was great! and yes bittersweet, but then again, so is the best of the chocolateirs' repituare...(*know i misspelt that...can't find my webster's....)
~"i'm a real Witch, Before, During AND After my coffee!"
thanks :P I like your chocolate reference lol.

Planck Area and Volume
Name: Charles Status: student Grade: 9-12 Country: Canada Date: Spring 2012
Why is a Planck area defined as the Planck length squared? That would imply that the Planck area is a square with side lengths of the Planck length. On top of that, it is said that no two points in the Planck area can be differentiated from each other. This clearly contradicts with the Planck area being a square because the diagonal of the square is longer than one Planck length. In that case, should not the Planck area be a circle instead? This also goes for Planck volume. Should it not be a sphere instead of a cube (Planck length cubed)?
I would categorize this as non-quantum reasoning applied to a quantum world. Since the Planck length is the smallest meaningful length, fractions of a Planck length don't have meaning. 1.41 Planck lengths doesn't have different meaning from 1 Planck length. Thus, effectively, a Planck (square) area is indistinguishable from a Planck circle.
Hope this helps, Burr Zimmerman
You have to be very careful when considering Planck dimensions. When the Planck "length" is inserted into various physical quantities it turns out that these quantities can be recast into dimensionless forms!! So you get the same result whatever shape or form you choose. The explanation is too long to put here but it is explained well on the web site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

In this study a partially open enclosure with two heat sources is examined to determine the Nusselt number along the hot wall. The first part of the study examines the effect of the Rayleigh number ratio on the Nusselt number. The largest Rayleigh number ratio results in the highest magnitude of the Nusselt number. The second part of the study examines what happens to the Nusselt number along the hot wall as the Rayleigh number ratio for the two blocks is different. This situation can arise when the two blocks have unequal heat source values. The largest Nusselt numbers correspond to the situation when the block along the top wall has a Rayleigh number ratio that is ten times higher than the Rayleigh number ratio for the block along the hot wall. The largest Nusselt number magnitudes can be attributed to the strong vortex in the corner near the hot wall.

This is interesting. I knew that vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium and that's why calcium supplements often also have vitamin D in them.
But I had no idea that the same is true for calcium and vitamin C. Why don't they also make calcium supplements with vitamin C in it then?

Selecting the Perfect Gown
1st Suggestion
Go ahead and tear pictures of gowns from bridal magazines, but be open to trying new styles. While you may love the gowns featured in magazines, realize that certain styles may not be right for you. Shop with an open mind. "So many times a bride will come in looking for a specific style, like a mermaid gown, but when she tries it on, it just isn't her," says Kelley. "But she may discover that she loves a ball gown instead. Every bride will eventually experience that 'a-ha' moment. Keeping an open mind will help her get there sooner."
2nd Suggestion
Get online and check out the bridal shops. Sure, they all sell gowns, but no two bridal shops are the same. When you call to schedule your appointment, be sure to ask questions such as: Do you offer in-house alterations? What is the price range of your gowns? How long do your appointments last? By knowing what shops offer before beginning your search, you will save valuable time by visiting only the shops that meet your needs.
3rd Suggestion
Trust the experts. While it is you who will ultimately decide on the dress, trust professional suggestions. "When girls come into our store, we ask different types of questions and begin to mentally think of which dresses are appropriate," Kelley says. "Instead of bringing out only a few dresses for the bride to see, we'll take the girls into the gown room to show them all the gowns offered. From there we'll pull dresses for them to try on."
4th Suggestion
Avoid becoming snow-blind. By limiting yourself to visiting no more than two shops per day, you can keep the experience from becoming one big white blur. "It can take up to two hours per visit, per store," Kelley says. If you try to fit in too many stores in one day, you'll end up mentally and physically exhausted and unable to remember what dresses you saw that morning."
5th suggestion
Limit the number of helpers. You may want your maid of honor, your mother, and six of your closest friends to watch you try on gowns, but too many people result in too many opinions. "Everyone has an opinion, but remember that it's coming from her own perspective, and not the bride's," Kelley says. "Bring only your mother or your best friend. Because in the end, it's the opinions of those closest to you that will truly count the most."
