Talk about turnover. ESPN's Adam Rubin has a list of the Mets with the most seniority. Except for David Wright, hardly anyone remains who was with the Mets when they were a contending team.After Wright, the rest of the top ten is Mike Pelfrey, Johan Santana, Daniel Murphy, Jon Niese, Bobby Parnell, Fernando Martinez, Josh Thole, R.A. Dickey and Jason Bay.No wonder Wright is unlikely to be traded anytime soon. Who will the fans come out to see? Whose jersey will they buy?At least the Mets still have Ike Davis (14th on the list).If the player came from the Mets' organization, seniority is defined as when the player made his major league debut. That explains why Fernando Martinez ranks so high, when in terms of actual playing time he would be a lot lower.Except for Dickey, everyone on this list is a big question mark. It's reasonable to expect Dickey to continue to be a mid-rotation pitcher. But many of the others could be anywhere between an All-Star or a bust.Even when the Mets were...

I made my Whole Harvest ale Sunday and took a sample for the OG. Since it was a little warm, I left it on the kitchen counter to cool to room temp. Monday morning, it was bubbling away, as was the main fermenter. I decided to leave it on the counter & just watch the gravity drop. Tuesday afternoon, it hit 1.016 and I swapped over to the finish hydrometer. It's down to 3.1 Brix (that's about 1.012) and still bubbling. I'm expecting 1.009 (2.2 Brix).
I expect the main fermenter to lag behind a bit, so I'll check the bulk gravity once the sample stops dropping.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
bubbling away with wild yeasties? or did you take the sample after you pitched?
That was my question too. One of Dave Line's methods was to have another small fermenter going of the same beer in order to check it's progress. Never really thought there was much use in it, personally.
Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
I took the sample after pitching. I use buckets with spigots, so that's the easiest thing to do and makes the most sense.
I never saw the point of a using a smaller fermenter either, but other than tasting the original sample what's to do with it except dump it or watch it fizz? We've been having a lot of weather move through, so the airlock on the fermenter is moving up and down like a barometer!
Big batch will go faster, because it will hold heat and stay warmer. Maybe it is done now?
So far, I've had more experience thinking than I've had brewing....you don't think they are mutually exclusive, do you?
72 batches so far,
48 wine, mostly Loquat, peach, plum, prickly pear
23 beers and ciders
1 sauerkraut
1 Tequila, from a prickly pear wine experiment that didn't work. I call it "Prickly Heat"
Maybe, but no hurry. Nothing I do at this point will make the beer age faster.

ClickZ News Staff | July 2, 2012 | Comments
Mobile search is helping to fuel additional spending in digital.
Digital ad spending in the U.K. will reach $8.3 billion this year, according to GroupM. Mobile search is helping to fuel additional spending in digital, suggested the WPP-owned media agency.
Spending in digital is expected to hit $9.4 billion in 2013, an 11 percent increase over this year's projected digital haul. GroupM bases its forecast on data from WPP's global ad and marketing services businesses. The company predicted overall ad spending in the U.K. will reach $20.6 billion this year, noting that the London Olympics there would only generate a "modest hike" of 3.4 percent in U.K. ad spend.
As digital spending rises year-over-year, regional newspaper print ad spend will fall at the same rate. GroupM expects regional newspaper spending in the U.K. market to drop 11 percent from $1.6 billion this year to $1.5 billion in 2013. National papers will see a less-steep decline of 5 percent, said the firm.
GroupM Futures Director Adam Smith suggested smartphone adoption is contributing to digital ad spending growth. "Smartphone proliferation has suddenly made mobile search an urgent priority, while bestowing long-awaited targeting intelligence at scale," he stated in a press release. "Mobile devices are also [fueling] second-screen usage, which is another digital revolution in the making: versatile, universal and ergonomic."

Just a random idea.
Tarzan's Treehouse is a cool place but is definitely beginning to show it's age, especially since the whole Tarzan-fad died down. So whynot replace the treehouse with the museum-like airship of Charles Muntz, the adventurer and villain from Up. To theme it appropriately to the land's time period (1930's judging by Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones Adventure), the airship would be inhabited by a much younger Muntz, still in his "youth" (However old he is when Carl watches him in the movie theater as a kid). Inside the scaled-down airship (Crashed in the tree), guests walk past various artifacts from around the world (Such as the skeletons of imaginary jungle beasts), ancient statues, pirate treasure, etc. Some of these elements are interactive, providing a rather entertaining walkthrough. A map in Muntz's barely-seen bedroom (Guests look in through a porthole) shows that Muntz was headed towards the Lost River Delta in India, searching for the so-called "Temple of the Forbidden Eye." This kind of ties in the walkthrough to nearby Indiana Jones Adventure. He almost made it to the temple, but crashed a bit too early. Some of his talking dogs can appear while Muntz himself never would appear (I can't imagine him in costumed character form, lol) nor would Carl, Russell, or Doug (This takes place before their time, even if Carl was a kid).
Unless Disney remakes Swiss Family Robinson, I highly doubt the Swiss Family Treehouse will come back, which is why I have come up with another idea which isn't themed or based upon any movie:
Professor Marvel's Treehouse of Oddities. Professor Rolly C. Marvel has nothing to do with a certain comic book company; he is nothing more than an eccentric inventor with a hunger for all things weird. He's so weird in fact that he has built a half-organic half-mechanical treehouse in a giant jungle tree, making it a museum to showcase all his weird belongings from around the world. This would basically be an Adventureland reincarnation of Rolly Crump's unused Museum of the Weird concept. Some of the museum's exhibits include a conservatory for man-eating plants, the fossils of bizarre creatures (Similar to those in Muntz's airship), unusual contraptions and gadgets, and the "Hall of Sight," a corridor featuring various statues and paintings representing human vision. Two of the statues have had their eyes blocked however, a statue (Now just a head) of Mara and a statue of Medusa. Both have had their eyes covered by tape to keep unlucky guests from being sent to the Gates of Doom or turned into a stone statue themself. The main exhibit however would be Marvel's pride and joy - the last remaining dinosaur...which is actually his dog dressed up like a dinosaur...obviously this walkthrough would feature a lot of interactivity.
Which one of the two ideas presented would you prefer? Muntz's airship or Marvel's treehouse?

Literature and Culture: Advanced Topics
A study of the relations between literature and culture, with a specific thematic focus. Examples include Literature and Law, American Gothic, and Drugs, Literature and Culturet.
|Distribution Area
|1 course
Fall Semester informationDavid Alvarez
393A: Tps: The Formation of Religious Tolerance in the English Enlightenment: Literature, Affect, Politics
Deborah Geis
393B: Tps:Literature and Culture of the Beat Generation
The "Beat Generation" marks a literary and cultural period from the early fifties to the mid-sixties in which rebellion against mainstream American postwar family values was beginning to surface. This course looks at the literature of this era in its cultural and political contexts, and examines the impact upon subsequent writers and artists. Some of the authors we'll cover will include Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso; African-American Beat writers LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka) and Bob Kaufman; rebel women Diane DiPrima, Anne Waldman, and Hettie Jones. We will also see some Beat-era films (and representations of "beatniks" in the popular culture of the period) and hear some Beat-era music. Since this is also an "S" course, students will be expected to participate very actively in presentations, performances, and discussions.

To seek authority to conduct a competitive dialogue to appoint a suitable operator(s). 1. Recommendations It is recommended that Cabinet i) Authorises the Director of Cultural Services, following consultation with the Director of Legal and Democratic Services, to take all steps necessary to regularise the current management arrangements of all the public golf courses in the borough, with a view to maximising the potential for a long-term management contract ii) Authorises the Director of Cultural Services to conduct a competitive dialogue procedure in respect of the management of Ealing's public golf courses at Brent Valley, Horsenden Hill and Perivale Park; iii) Note the current arrangements in place for the management of all the public golf courses in the borough; iv) Notes that the Pay and Play option (without committing to a membership) will continue to be a significant part of any new contract arrangement v) Notes that the final award of the management services contract(s) will be the subject of a future report to Cabinet for decision 2. Reason for Decision and Options Considered: 2.1 A review of the current management arrangements has taken place and concluded that in order for the Council to achieve Value for Money (VFM) a change in service delivery is necessary. 2.2 It is recommended that, through a competitive dialogue procedure, the Council seeks to secure a long-term contractual relationship with an operator, which aims to increase usage and provide VFM whilst working towards improving and enhancing facilities at the courses. 2.2 This approach has been proposed in order to ensure that the golf courses receive both the appropriate investment and specialist horticultural maintenance required to ensure the long-term viability of the business. The current arrangements do not provide scope for best value, and the lack of in-house expertise and a junior development programme, combined with bad summer weather and poor on-site facilities, have contributed to the declining course usage in recent years. 2.3 Existing users do not reflect the population of Ealing borough and there is no clear marketing plan in place to attract new players or target specific groups. 2.4 The aim of the procedure is to establish a partnership for management of the golf courses, develop the service, promote golf in the borough and at the same time make any necessary improvements to the current golf provision in the borough. All options proposed by the bidders will be considered. Although the market remains to be tested in this respect, it is anticipated that, by being flexible rather than setting specific parameters other than those in paragraph 2.5, this approach will produce significant savings for the Council, with potential to achieve a zero budget or net income depending upon the tender response. 2.5 The new operator(s) is expected to; Ensure that the golf courses remain as affordable Pay & Play facilities available to all members of the public Establish a co-ordinated golf development programme to improve access to golf, increase participation and target priority groups Provide facilities to encourage children and young people, older adults, girls and women, and disabled people Work alongside and assist the three resident golf clubs based at the three golf courses to develop their membership base 2.6 The ideal outcome is for all elements of the service to be managed directly by one operator. This option would provide the operator with the opportunity to make the required investment and promote all elements of the business. Details of all current arrangements and the ideal outcome of the procedure are attached as Appendix 1. However, prospective operators will be invited to structure their bids by costing various option scenarios to enable the Council to ensure it reaches the best balance of value for money and golf provision. 2.7 It is proposed that a project management approach is taken to identify any risks and to pursue all development opportunities. 3. Background Information 3.1 The Council currently owns five golf courses, two of which are already under lease agreements: Hanger Hill Pitch and Putt Course has a lease for 12 years that commenced in September 2000 and West Middlesex Golf Course has a lease for 99 years that commenced in April 2001. 3.2 Current management arrangements for the Council's three public "Pay and Play" golf courses (Brent Valley, Horsenden Hill and Perivale Park) are set out in Appendix 2. 3.3 Separate arrangements also exist for the operation of the pub/bars at Brent Valley and Horsenden Hill golf courses. These are in the process of being reviewed with a view to granting temporary fixed term leases to coincide with the start of a new management services contract for the operation of the golf courses from 1st April 2009. 3.4 There is an existing contract with Veolia (ES) Cleanaway (UK) Limited for the golf course grounds maintenance services. This contract expires 31st March 2008. This contract was the subject of a report presented to Cabinet in December 2006. Owing to the complexity of this process, it has been necessary to utilise the option under the contract with Veolia to extend their contract for golf course maintenance services to 31st March 2009. This will coincide with the start of the new contract with a golf operator on 1st April 2009. 3.5 On 25th July 2006 a report to Cabinet sought permission for a review of the golf courses. This has now been completed and section 4 of this report highlights the outcome of this review. 3.6 The findings of the recently commissioned Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sports Strategy & Action Plan highlighted investment was required to upgrade the clubhouse facilities at all three courses. 3.7 This action plan also made reference to the decline in membership numbers. The report attributed this to the anti-social behaviour in the attached leased public house at Brent Valley golf course as well as the concentration of golf clubs in the borough some of which are also experiencing a decline in membership numbers. 4. Alternative options considered 4.1 The option to continue with the current arrangements of managing the courses in-house and with separate contracts for catering, grounds maintenance and management of the golf shops is not considered viable. Neither does the Council have the expertise or experience of managing the service direct. 4.2 The soft market testing exercise conducted in July 2007 concluded there is sufficient interest in the market to outsource the management of the Council's three municipal golf courses, Brent Valley, Horsenden Hill and Perivale Park. It is important to note, however, that should one or more golf courses fail to generate interest in the course of the competitive dialogue, other options will need to be explored. 4.3 The golf supplier market indicates that there are clear opportunities to be explored for risk sharing or even transferring full risk. These also include exploring the scope for re-design/redevelopment of the golf courses and improving the clubhouses and other ancillary facilities such as the toilets and changing areas. 4.4 The soft market testing exercise included discussions with three prospective golf suppliers who all confirmed they are interested in Ealing's golf courses. The general view is that the golf courses are maintained well but much more could be done to market them to improve usage. The majority of suppliers suggested that other activities such as conferencing and gym facilities at the courses may not interest them. 4.5 The majority of suppliers also felt that that there is an oversupply of courses in the borough and hinted that there were other activities that could work instead of golf. Should the competitive dialogue demonstrate that there is little or no interest in one or more of the golf courses, it will be necessary to explore ideas for alternative uses for the open space. The recently commissioned Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sports Strategy & Action Plan produced by Knight Kavangh Page (KKP) suggested that Ealing has a surplus of golf courses. 4.6 The general consensus among suppliers was that a medium term lease was the preferred option. This varied between a 25 – 50 year minimum term. A longer term would enable a large-scale investment to be made to improve the condition of the buildings. Development proposals may be subject to planning conditions and consent being granted. 4.7 Hillingdon Council are also in the process of tendering their golf course management contract, and Ealing officers met with Hillingdon officers and explored the option for a collaborative tender package. This option was eliminated due to different timing requirements. However, market intelligence and information continue to be shared. 4.8 Termination of any existing contracts before a new contract is in place may result in the need to close the courses or reduce the service. This would also have a financial impact on existing revenue budgets. 5. Financial 5.1 The current golf course management arrangements are inadequate and do not provide best value. 5.2 Tendering costs will be funded through existing Parks and Countryside revenue budget. 5.3 The intention is that through a competitive dialogue, a new management services contract will deliver efficiency savings and also raise the profile of golf in the borough. 5.4 The aim is to secure an operating partner(s) for the golf courses that takes on the costs of investment and operations in order to maximise income. This approach plans to minimise the risk to the Council by reducing the cost outlay for the service, possibly to nil.. 5.5 The Council is in the process of identifying capital budget to address any immediate health and safety issues. This work is to be completed prior to the new contract commencing. 6. Legal 6.1 The competitive dialogue procedure is a relatively new addition to the procedures available to the Council when letting contracts. It is only available for "particularly complex contracts", where the Council is not objectively able to define the technical means capable of satisfying its objectives or able to specify the legal or financial make-up of a project, or both. In this case, it is appropriate because the Council cannot specify the financial make-up of the future management contract, because of the unclear outcomes of the soft market-testing. It should be noted that a competitive dialogue procedure is relatively resource-hungry and longer than a traditional tender procedure. It is, effectively, a form of negotiated procedure whereby the Council discusses and refines each bidder's proposals with them before asking for a final offer. Because the Council is unable to specify a major element of the contract, the bidders' proposals may be radically different from each other. 6.2 The contract will be let in compliance with the Council's Contract Procedure Rules. 6.3 Further legal advice is given in Appendix 3. 7. Value for Money (VFM) 7.1 The current golf management arrangements do not offer the Council VFM. The Council is responsible for the grounds maintenance costs as well as costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the cafés, shops, changing areas and toilets facilities. The Council also takes the risk on all income. The net cost of running the service has increased in recent years and unless a dramatic change in delivery of this service is implemented, this pattern will continue. 7.2 The current management arrangements are described in Appendix 2. A lack of incentives to increase income and generate income from other activities exposes the Council to financial risk. 7.3 There is potential to achieve better value through other arrangements. This could be a partner providing either capital investment and/or a share of golf course income or through rental from a long-term lease. This would attract investment whilst reducing the risk to the Council. 7.4 It is difficult at this stage to know the likely costs or, potentially, income. However discussions have taken place with potential operators who are confident that the Council could benefit from the procurement process. Discussions with other authorities have also taken place. These also suggested that the Council would benefit from a management contract or lease type of arrangement. 7.5 Performance of the current grounds maintenance contractor (Veolia) is satisfactory, and the spend compares favourably against spend on grounds maintenance by a neighbouring borough. 7.6 The contract length will be determined by discussions with prospective suppliers, neighbouring boroughs and development proposals provided during the competitive dialogue. A longer-term contract would provide better value and reduce the risk to the Council. 8. Risk Management 8.1 A procurement plan has been drafted and a risk assessment is being completed to enable all risks to be managed. 8.2 Prospective bidders will need to go through various checks such as financial, competency, eligibility at the pre-qualification stage of the procurement process. 8.3 A risk in all competitive tenders is that the preferred specification is not attractive to potential tenderers. Therefore utilising the competitive dialogue route will provide officers with scope to negotiate a satisfactory solution. 8.4 To reflect the varying needs of the Council, it is proposed that the contract includes a provision for targets to be set and agreed on an annual basis. 9. Community Safety 9.1 Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 places a duty on all statutory authorities to take account of community safety when making decisions and planning services. Therefore, the Council has an obligation when planning and delivering its services to consider what action it is taking that will contribute to a safer Ealing for people, who live, work and visit the borough. 10. Links to Strategic Objectives Safety 10.1 Through a contract/lease arrangement, the partner will be encouraged to work with other key partners, such as Brentford Football Club Community Sports Trust who currently delivers a Positive Futures scheme around the borough. This is targeted at young people at highest risk of involvement in crime and drugs with the aim of building relationships through sporting opportunities. Health and independence 10.2 Active Ealing in partnership with the contractor and other agencies will continue to work towards reducing health inequalities and promote well being. This can be achieved by offering activities aimed at specific target groups such as older people and people with disabilities. Children and young people 10.3 The contractor will be expected to work in partnership with Ealing to deliver a balanced programme to include activities for children and young people. Participation in sport and activity not only improves their health, but also raises their educational attainment. The contractor will be encouraged to offer work placements to give young people work experience and life skills. Involvement in sports gives young people the chance to gain coaching qualifications Organisational improvement 10.4 Sport England has as an objective to increase participation in sport by an average of 1% a year. The Framework for Sport in England has identified a longer-term target to continue this growth to at least 2020 to establish England as the most active nation in the world. A new partner with experience of golf management would assist the Council in delivering this objective. 10.5 There are proposals to include sport & physical activity in the Audit Commission CPA inspection framework ("The Harder Test") as a Key Performance Indicator. Sport England has prepared draft performance indicators. The percentage of adults participating in at least 30 minutes moderate intensity sport and active recreation (including recreational walking) on 3 or more days a week is one of them. 10.6 Through a contract arrangement we can expect investment, new developments/upgrade of the ancillary facilities and therefore an improvement in attendance. This will help to increase participation in sport and physical activity and contribute towards the 1% target set by Central Government. Equalities and Community Cohesion 10.7 An initial Equalities Impact Assessment is being drafted and will be submitted for approval once the procurement plan has been agreed. 11. Staffing/Workforce and Accommodation implications: None for this report. 12. Property and Assets 12.1 None for this report 13. Any other implications 13.1 Please refer to Appendix 3 14. Consultation 14.1 Consultation with the Portfolio holder, Cllr Nigel Sumner, has taken place. Some consultation with affected clubs and other existing providers has already taken place and this will continue throughout the process. 15. Timetable for Implementation 15.1 The following is an outline timetable, subject to change as it depends on the procurement activity, the number of tenderers and other variables such as variant bids and development proposals.

…A silent film, destroyed in a fire in 1913 at the Pathé studio, before it was seen even by its director. A lowly seamstress, who makes the costumes she should be wearing, but believes her talent – and the secret she keeps too – will soon get her a dressing room of her own.
A beautiful house in Paris, with a curving staircase, a lake, and locked rooms. A famous – and dashing – creator of spectacular cinematic illusions, husband to a beautiful, volatile actress, the most adored icon of the Parisian studios. All fit together, like scenes in a movie. And as you will see, this plot has a twist we beg you not to disclose…
Published by Serpent's Tail, 2013
'There's a touch of Angela Carter about Beatrice Hitchman's beguiling debut…complex and cerebral, Petite Mort is softened by beautifully drawn characters, lightly drizzled period detail and an abiding suspicion that love and cinema might be part of the same illusion…'

In a section of Los Angeles near Dodger Stadium, two rival gangs rule the streets. For the Alvarado Street Diablos, it's been a year since the murder of one of their closest members at the hands of their sworn enemy, the North Rampart Lobos. A drive-by killing in his honor is planned, but things go wrong and an innocent bystander is the victim. Several hours later the one who pulled the trigger suffers a horrifying death, caused by something never before seen in its uniqueness. Many more such cases follow, all involving only these two gangs among the hundreds throughout the city. And each death occurs at the same time of day. The exact same time of day. What can these two enemies do to survive against an unstoppable power intent on their mutual destruction? How is a gang-hating young boy's attempt to save the life of a gang member tied into preventing a loved one's soul from eternal damnation? What does a mysterious psychic's prophecy conveyed earlier in New Orleans have to do with all of this? Exploring both the darkness and hope that define our emotions, The Poe Consequence integrates social and ethnic divisions through acts of fate and supernatural horror for the reader to observe and imagine.

Walking the Woods and the Water: In Patrick Leigh Fermor's footsteps from the Hook of Holland to the Golden Horn:
In 1933, the eighteen-year-old Patrick Leigh Fermor set out in a pair of hobnailed boots to chance and charm his way across Europe, "like a tramp, a pilgrim, or a wandering scholar." The books he later wrote about this walk, A Time of Gifts, Between the Woods and the Water, and the posthumous The Broken Road are a half-remembered, half-reimagined journey through cultures now extinct, landscapes irrevocably altered by the traumas of the twentieth century.
Aged eighteen, Nick Hunt read A Time of Gifts and dreamed of following in Fermor's footsteps. In 2011 he began his own "great trudge"—on foot all the way to Istanbul. He walked across eight countries, following two major rivers and crossing three mountain ranges. With only Fermor's books to guide him, he trekked some 2,500 miles through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey.
His aim? To have an old-fashioned adventure. To slow down and linger in a world where we pass by so much, so fast. To discover for himself what remained of hospitality, kindness to strangers, freedom, wildness, adventure, the mysterious, the unknown, the deeper currents of myth and story that still flow beneath Europe's surface.

Newly dead and struggling to cope with her new reality, Emma Elliott is thrust into a dark and desperate vision of London. In her fight to survive she meets friends, both old and new, and uncovers a world inhabited by two warring clans of angels, one bent on the ultimate destruction of mankind, the other committed to our salvation. A way out presents itself but with the forces arrayed against her Emma starts to wonder why, of all the people who have found themselves in this position; she is being singled out for such special attention. As time passes more questions arise for Emma. Who is Isabella, the woman she is constantly mistaken for? Who are the mysterious Cado Angelus who cast a shadow over Emma's every move? And what part does Emma have to play in the events that will soon unfold in her world and ours.

Henry Cross made a mistake; in fact he made two. The first was to spy for the Soviet Union inside a top-secret U.S. Department of Energy nuclear weapons laboratory. The second was to get caught. When the KGB finds out Henry Cross is a defector, it orders a second mole at Monroe Laboratory to kill Cross in a conspicuous manner. Other KGB agents need to be reminded that disloyalty will not be tolerated. Upon discovery of the murder, the DOE, FBI, and Monroe security conclude that another spy is operating at the site. Not wanting to reveal its intelligence to the mole or create a media circus at a top-secret lab, DOE covers up the murder.
Into this situation walks Ed Cotter, a newly recruited cold warrior. In a world where hyper-enforced federal regulations and their unintended consequences are the norm, Ed proves himself to be a positive addition to the staff. But one of his colleagues, Curtis Judd, is less than thrilled. Judd provokes Cotter in not so subtle ways, letting him know that he isn't welcome at Monroe. But Ed Cotter isn't leaving. In the meantime, the hunt for the spy continues, and Cotter gets drawn into it.
An Imposition is the first in a series of books based on events at the Department of Energy's top-secret Monroe nuclear weapons laboratory during the boom years of the Reagan administration.

UNIDENTIFIED: The UFO Phenomenon: How World Governments Have Conspired to Conceal Humanity's Biggest Secret
FORWARD~ "...fasten your seat belt. You are in for a fascinating ride."
--Stanton T. Friedman, author of Flying Saucers and Science
"Not only is Bob Salas an Air Force insider who had his ufological teeth cut by first-hand experiences, but he also possesses the scholarly background to analyze those events. With his tireless tenacity and no-nonsense mission towards disclosure, Bob is a genuine throwback to one of my own heroes, Edward Ruppelt."
--Donald R. Schmitt, best-selling co-author of Inside the Real Area 51
In 1969 the U.S. Air Force issued a statement that read' "No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security." This statement is patently false. It has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the U.S. Air Force was fully aware. Unidentified details many of these testimonies, some for the first time. As partial justification for its position, the Air Force cites a University of Colorado study that was contracted and paid for by federal funds. Unidentified reveals how this study was actually just another part of the plan to cover up the reality of the UFO phenomenon. For the first time, Unidentified publishes evidence that the investigators for the Colorado study knew about the UFO-related missile shutdown incidents but did not investigate them or include them in their final report.

Abigail Argent stands out. Some people notice that she always wears gloves and shudder when they know why. The ones who know her best notice her ability with metal. Abigail's particular talent lies in the colouring of alloys, for seeing the beauty in a plain piece of metal and being able to draw it out. Her study leads her to discover a connection between her own craft and that of her favourite childhood myth: changing lead into gold. Moving to Venice, Abigail continues to uncover more about the history of her trade while making friends, and a lover, whose lives become inextricably linked with her own. But her abilities soon peak the interests of a powerful group, determined to guard the secret that she may unwittingly expose. Delving into the deepest secrets of ancient Italy, Abigail's story will take everything you think you know about alchemy and turn it on its head.

Tim Connor Hits Trouble defies conventional genres. It is funny, occasionally violent, intelligent, controversial and full of sexual twists and turns. We meet Tim Connor just as his marriage hits the rocks and as he is about to 'escape' to a new job in the Social Science Department at Wash University. Far from finding tranquillity, Tim 'hits trouble' in Wash both personally and at work. Now 'on the loose' he has several interesting and 'unusual' encounters with women. At work, Tim finds himself drawn into a conflict between an old rebel academic, Henry Jones, and the ambitious Head of Faculty, Howard Swankie that culminates in a tense and dramatic climax. Within the novel's lively narrative, characters argue, sometimes angrily, over the direction of contemporary higher education - making this a relevant as well as a gripping and highly enjoyable novel.

Ours is an age of unprecedented digital focus. None are safe from the invasive criminals hard at work in twisting innovation for their own predatory nature—not even Daniel O'Neal, a rural bus driver with easy dreams of living his life for old-fashioned love and purpose.
Adapt is the engrossing debut novel from Edward Freeland which tackles the subject of the media's overwhelming influence on the individual and on modern day society. Through his unnerving narrative, Freeland asserts the belief that one of mankind;'s primal instincts is collectivization; in this case, that of a group coming together to target one, weaker, individual and essentially evolving into a mob mentality. Adapt explores the real horror of 'anonymous' bullying which has become so prevalent in our digital society, especially that through social media. Freeland highlights the fragility of our personal security online, revealing just how simple it is to hack into a strangers private information through any of their personal electronic devices. Chilling and thought-provoking, Adapt will entertain and enlighten, leaving readers guessing at the truth until the very last page

Myself and my wife were trained recently by Billy the owner. We have undergone training in many centres over many years and without question BILLY is the best Equestrian Trainer we had ever had the pleasure of being taught by. Do not expect an easy ride as Billy will analyse and correct everything you do and believe me you will walk away with a smile on your face and say WOW what a lesson. I really cannot put in words the professionalism of Billy and her team. We are going back soon as if you want the best, you have to travel to trained by the best. Value for money, well guys, give Billy a call. THANKYOU BILLY Steve & Janette

Scientists Say Species Is Earliest Known Bird
By editor
Originally published on Thu May 30, 2013 8:19 am
You know what they say about the early bird? Well, a new species is vying for that title. Scientists have long-regarded an ancient creature, known as the Archaeopteryx, as the earliest bird known to science. But a discovery made in China could change that, according to a study published in Nature magazine. Scientists have found evidence of a feathered, chicken-sized species that's 10 million years older. It's called Aurornis xui, and it lived about 160 million years ago.
The question for science now: Is this the real early bird, or is it just a birdlike dinosaur with feathers? Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Ben Morgan injured his ankle against Scotland © Getty Images
England head coach Stuart Lancaster has confirmed Ben Morgan, Alex Corbisiero and Freddie Burns will not be available for the Six Nations clash with France next weekend.
Morgan suffered an ankle injury during England's opening Six Nations match against Scotland at the beginning of the month and subsequently missed their narrow win over Ireland in Dublin. While Burns and Corbisiero have missed both of England's opening matches with knee injuries.
Lancaster is happy with the progress being made by all three players but insists it will be a couple of weeks before Morgan and Burns are ready to return while Corbisiero, as expected, will be out for longer than that.
Morgan and Burns therefore could have a chance of playing in England's penultimate match against Italy on March 10, though Corbisiero remains unlikely to return in time to feature in England's Grand Slam drive.
"They are making good recoveries but they are all still a way from being in contention for a spot," he told Sky Sports News. "Their next step is to go back to their clubs. Freddy is making good progress so hopefully he will be back at Gloucester soon. Ben Morgan will be another couple of weeks and Alex Corbisiero could be a bit longer than that.
Lancaster is also encouraged by the progress of flanker Tom Croft, who started for Leicester against London Welsh last weekend. Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill has confirmed that Croft will not play against Harlequins this weekend but will feature against Saracens the following week as he continues his comeback from a serious neck injury.
"Tom Croft is the other one. We were pleased with his performance for Leicester at the weekend. I think he is going to miss week but keep making good progress and i am sure he will come back into the equation over the next few weeks."

No I havnt. And that does supprised most I fly with, but just like you have they urge me to setup a nice bind set. I know it would cut down on the misfires we love so much, I just love wasting 4 of my 10 second crf3 because I had to jam on it 5 times to work.... I've taken to 2/3 button combos. Outside of an alpha that's mostly what I see happening. And I've really tried to find a......"natural" I guess? flow or pace with the keys. My fingers are usually very fluid and I guess I dont "slam" on any 1 key.
But my setup is different than most I talk to. I target with spacebar, wasd, and use nothing more than the numpad and alt/ctrl + numpad. I even balance my shields without using distribute much.... Using alt+wasd for the reroute shield power to facings.
Anywho enough rambling, hrm maybe I will read the keybinds sticky tonight...

"In the early part of 2013 I noticed all styles of MBT shoes on clearance. MBT had just gone out of business, their remaining shoes being sold off. Now what was I going to do for shoes? I stand 10-14 hours per day on my feet. Because of this abuse I developed bone spurs in each heel, and plantar fasciitis. Walking anywhere, any distance is painful, difficult. MBT shoes were recommended to me by other people with similar problems. Wearing these shoes have made it possible for me to walk in comfort again. They are the only reason I can stand or walk. Fast forward to the new MBT shoes produced by the company that bought the old MBT: They're great! Not as butt ugly as the old styles. Just as comfortable and super fun. They still run a little small. I hope they continue to make a size US 12 for the winter, I need that size for close toe boots. I have a serious MBT habit. Keep 'em coming guys."

So much for global warming! Ireland's summer heatwave is still missing in action – and there's no sign of it turning up anytime soon.
Experts at Met Eireann, the Irish state weather service, have confirmed the country has just experienced the coldest July in 50 years -- this after a similar finding for June.
And there's little sign of August being much better after the month began with widespread rain across the 32 counties.
June was also the coldest it has been in almost 50 years with the readings for July no better.

Weather forecaster in surprise apology after raining on nation's hopes of sunshine
Could our Irish weather be the worst in Europe?
Met Eireann officials have confirmed that all but one of their 11 main weather stations reported below normal temperatures last month.
The greater Dublin area 'enjoyed' its coolest July for 46 years.
Dublin Airport's weather station recorded average temperatures of just 56 degrees the lowest since July 1965.
Other unusually low temperatures included a 34 degrees ground level minimum temperature at Valentia, Co Kerry, the lowest since 1940.
An air temperature of 43 degrees was recorded at Cork Airport on July 6th, the coldest since 1965.
Weather forecaster John Eagleton said: "There were some good days in July but we did not get a run of good weather so people do not have a memory of that."

Fresh Wind at Work: OpenOffice 3.1
Cute but astute: the new minor version of OpenOffice can do more than ever, such as cast shadows, position chart axes and provide structured conversations through comments.
After December's feature freeze and the release candidate exactly a month ago, OpenOffice 3.1 now enters onstage in time with its roadmap. One new feature is anti-aliasing to improve clarity of graphics. Another is leaving shadows of objects behind instead of dotted outlines when moving graphics. An improved file locking mechanism prevents overwrites and reports who most recently had the file open. To encourage collaboration, replies to comments now lead to dialogue when editing text.
Also new in OpenOffice Writer is that it targets document writers with more involved ordering formats and automatic indexing. They can now apply an "outline level" to a normal paragraph to designate it as a heading for indexing without modifying the style or paragraph structure.
As far as OpenOffice Calc, it now has help for writing formulas with hot hints showing the formula syntax next to the cell. Charting also went through some changes based on user feedback to OpenOffice's QA public request mechanism. One change based on demand from educational users is a flexible positioning of chart axes and axis labels, functionality that already exists in MS Excel and Gnome's Gnumeric, thus categorizing the request not only under "usability" but also "interoperability." From several respondents: "This is important for the possibility to use OOoCalc in building official exam documents in France... All secondary schools in North of France... have now at least one classroom, with one computer for each pupil. We have installed OpenOffice everywhere... So this requirement [of having axis labels on the edges of the diagram area] is really important for us, and will favorably influence the choice of OpenOffice Calc in most French schools." Thus the enhancement.
For OpenOffice Base users who work with macros, some new changes occurred. As of version 3.1, OpenOffice stores database applications with macros and scripts directly as an .odb file and not in subcomponents such as forms and reports. All macros were moved into the main part of the database. A warning on the Base wiki page is clear about incompatibility issues when opening previous documents with macros or scripts unless migrating the documents, which you can accomplish using a "Migrate Macros" wizard.
OpenOffice 3.1 downloads are available from the project website.

Imam says NYC mosque site is not 'hallowed ground'
NEW YORK (AP) -- It is two blocks from ground zero, but the site of a proposed mosque and Islamic center shouldn't be seen as "hallowed ground" in a neighborhood that also contains a strip club and a betting parlor, the cleric leading the effort said Monday.
