Since graduating from Southeast, Bry has attained success professionally. He has achieved national recognition for his accomplishments, which include successfully leading several main street revitalization programs, writing and receiving funding for grants in excess of $2 million, placing numerous structures on the National Register of Historic Places, and organizing state and national preservation groups.

Late 1970s Uberti Colt Army
I'd like to get replacement nipples for an 1860 I bought used about 6 months ago that is circa late 70s. Thread size is tighter and overall depth of the shaft is shorter than modern uberti nipples.
Could someone help me find the right nipple? Based on this PDF: http://www.trackofthewolf.com/pdfs/catalog/page_388.pdf I think I need the PIR..though the threaded section looks alittle long. Thanks in advance! |

Welcome to the forum.
You will get some good answers to your question. One of the members will likely post a chart of the thread size and major diameter of the nipple holes in your revolver. In the end, when you order, you will likely be speaking to one of the folks at Track of the Wolf. They will be helpful as well.

I don't see where the PIR is intended for your revolver; it looks to me like you need the PCC, but you need to call TOW and talk to them.
By the way, the thread length is unimportant - they thread into an open chamber. |

Yes those older Ubertis used a 6.75 mm.thread, which is what Pieta is using now.
The problem is the Pieta nipples are too long, so when you order you will have to talk to some real person that knows something more than just catalog numbers. |

Snow in San Jose?!
I met Santa and he is Larry ... or Doug
By Eric A. Carlson
A CURSORY EXAMINATION of downtown San Jose last weekend revealed the hulking mass of the Fairmont Hotel "Expansion" emerging from the ooze. The venerable, but rotting, Montgomery Hotel had been nudged down the street to make room for it. The Montgomery now stands where the Pestana building used to. The Pestana was grokked out of existence in 1999. All this destruction and construction is reminiscent of episodes of Fraggle Rock (a kids' show) where industrious little engineer-doozers build elaborate structures out of doozer sticks. Sadly, doozer sticks are edible, especially by Fraggles, who devour every building they stumble upon. A warning sign has been placed on the Fairmont Hotel Expansion project: "Building the New San Jose." Be afraid, and watch out for Fraggles.
I fondly recall the halcyon days of the Fairmont Hotel construction. Myriad signs proclaimed, "San Jose is Growing Up." Some malcontent had doctored the signs to read, "San Jose is Throwing Up." Probably a communist.
Christmas in the Park was in high gear this year in the Plaza de Cesar E. Chavez. "Pastoral peace transformed," a brochure stated, "into a winter wonderland." Indeed, four snow machines spewed out simulated snow (nontoxic soap) during the evening hours. A beaming little girl walked by, towed by Mom, and held up a candy cane in front of my face. "Santa" she said. And Santa was there, receiving children like a red-robed Pope. Many of the tots froze up, victims of the immediacy of coming face to face with Santa, but one 3-year-old lad was uncowed, and rattled off an impressive list of needs, in descending order of importance, starting with a functioning submarine. (Santa looked suspiciously like a fellow by the name of Larry Seabert.)
As I meandered over to Santa's Snack Shoppe for a paper-plate dinner of cheese nachos, it occurred to me that the 200 decorated trees were looking pretty sharp this year. Good job, kids. On the other hand, the animated displays, small buildings manned by elves or bears or grandmas, are quite disturbing. Perhaps the world's largest collection of banal department store window displays, and probably bad for kids' psyches.
Observations in the park: (1) The JCDecaux computerized toilet was malfunctioning--users could not open or shut the door. (2) Anti-Cisco personnel were encouraging folks to sign a referendum designed to thwart Cisco's latest Coyote Valley caper. Good luck fighting that one--Cisco has almost as much money as the Santa Clara Valley Water District. (3) Has Baby Jesus been banished from the park for espousing religious or spiritual teachings on public property? (4) The American Atheists have a tree and a plaque describing the importance of the Winter Solstice and how it was "taken over by Christians as the birthday of their mythological Christ." Those atheists seem to have gotten the last word in at Christmas in the Park. Now, let us all kneel down and pray to the Winter Solstice and Mother Macys.
Exiting the park at Paseo de San Antonio walkway, I chatted with Doug Bickle, a self-proclaimed ex-hippie, who was hawking an interesting array of inflated Santa Clauses, green aliens with Santa Claus suits, reindeer and happy faces. When I mentioned I was working on a column about the Animated Displays in the Park Celebration, he joked that he wanted "front page exposure." Doug then started singing, impromptu, the lyrics to "On the Cover of the Rolling Stone." A fair enough rendition. I told him that page one might be a problem, but page 14 or so was possible.
Final note: Christmas in the Park has been giving children warm and fuzzy feelings for 21 years. Graciela reports that the event is "kind of weird," but de rigueur to qualify as a bona fide San Josean. Poor old Quetzalcoatl is kept mercifully out of sight, tucked in amongst the porta-potties. And reports have filtered in that the baby Jesus is in the park.

In the film Topsy-Turvy, director Mike Leigh explores the interesting relationship between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan as they work on their musical "The Mikado". Composer Carl Davis adapted the musical underscore from the works of Arthur Sullivan, and did a commendable job. The soundtrack album is filled with songs from Gilbert and Sullivan from "The Mikado", "Princess Ida", "The Sorcerer" and "The Yeomen of the Guard" - all of which (except "Yeomen") make a staged appearance in the film.
All of the songs appeared (in the film) to be performed by the actors themselves. These performances were rather well done, and I particularly enjoyed Martin Savage's musical performance as Grossmith in "Princess Ida" and "The Mikado", as well as the rest of the cast. The orchestral cues that Davis adapted for the score work rather well in the film - and provide a very important sense of continuity with the songs. If he had gone off and written his own music for the film, I somehow doubt it would have worked as well as it did with the adaptation.
Topsy-Turvy was a rather well done film, but it suffered from small lack of actual plot. The musical numbers were enjoyable, but the rest of the film seemed to drag at times, and made me wonder, "Why are they showing this?" But the music, which is rightfully a large significant part of the film, stood out as being top notch. After all - how can Gilbert and Sullivan go wrong?Enter your e-mail address to receive weekly soundtrack and film score news:

Compiles a NetRexx source tree within the running (Apache Ant) VM.
The source and destination directory will be recursively scanned for NetRexx source files to compile. Only NetRexx files that have no corresponding class file or where the class file is older than the java file will be compiled.
Files in the source tree are copied to the destination directory, allowing support files to be located properly in the classpath. The source files are copied because the NetRexx compiler cannot produce class files in a specific directory via parameters
The directory structure of the source tree should follow the package hierarchy.
It is possible to refine the set of files that are being compiled/copied. This can be done with the includes, includesfile, excludes, excludesfile and defaultexcludes attributes. With the includes or includesfile attribute you specify the files you want to have included by using patterns. The exclude or excludesfile attribute is used to specify the files you want to have excluded. This is also done with patterns. And finally with the defaultexcludes attribute, you can specify whether you want to use default exclusions or not. See the section on directory based tasks, on how the inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.
This task forms an implicit FileSet and
supports most attributes of <fileset>
becomes srcdir
) as well as the nested
, <exclude>
All properties except classpath, srcdir and destDir are also available as properties in the form
, eg.
<property name="ant.netrexxc.verbose" value="noverbose"/>
or from the command line as
ant -Dant.netrexxc.verbose=noverbose ...
Attribute | Description | Required |
binary | Whether literals are treated as the java binary type rather than the NetRexx types | No |
classpath | The classpath to use during compilation | No |
comments | Whether comments are passed through to the generated java source | No |
compact | Whether error messages come out in compact or verbose format. Default is the compact format. | No |
compile | Whether the NetRexx compiler should compile the generated java code | No |
console | Whether or not messages should be displayed on the 'console'. Note that this task will rely on the default value for filtering compile messages. | No |
crossref | Whether variable cross references are generated | No |
decimal | Whether decimal arithmetic should be used for the NetRexx code. Setting this to off will report decimal arithmetic as an error, for performance critical applications. | No |
defaultexcludes | indicates whether default excludes should be used or not ("yes"/"no"). Default excludes are used when omitted. | No |
destDir | the destination directory into which the NetRexx source files should be copied and then compiled | Yes |
diag | Whether diagnostic information about the compile is generated | No |
excludes | comma- or space-separated list of patterns of files that must be excluded. No files (except default excludes) are excluded when omitted. | No |
excludesfile | the name of a file. Each line of this file is taken to be an exclude pattern | No |
explicit | Whether variables must be declared explicitly before use | No |
format | Whether the generated java code is formatted nicely or left to match NetRexx line numbers for call stack debugging | No |
includes | comma- or space-separated list of patterns of files that must be included. All files are included when omitted. | No |
includesfile | the name of a file. Each line of this file is taken to be an include pattern | No |
java | Whether the generated java code is produced | No |
keep | Sets whether the generated java source file should be kept after compilation. The generated files will have an extension of .java.keep, not .java. Use removeKeepExtension to change that. | No |
logo | Whether the compiler text logo is displayed when compiling | No |
removeKeepExtension | Tells whether the trailing .keep in nocompile-mode should be removed so that the resulting java source really ends on .java. This facilitates the use of the javadoc tool lateron. | No |
replace | Whether the generated .java file should be replaced when compiling | No |
savelog | Whether the compiler messages will be written to NetRexxC.log as well as to the console | No |
sourcedir | Tells the NetRexx compiler to store the class files in the same directory as the source files. The alternative is the working directory | No |
srcDir | Set the source dir to find the source NetRexx files | Yes |
strictargs | Tells the NetRexx compiler that method calls always
need parentheses, even if no arguments are needed, e.g.
aStringVar.getBytes vs.
aStringVar.getBytes() |
No |
strictassign | Tells the NetRexx compile that assignments must match exactly on type | No |
strictcase | Specifies whether the NetRexx compiler should be case sensitive or not | No |
strictimport | Whether classes need to be imported explicitly using an
import statement. By default the NetRexx compiler will
import certain packages automatically |
No |
strictprops | Whether local properties need to be qualified
explicitly using this |
No |
strictsignal | Whether the compiler should force catching of exceptions by explicitly named types | No |
symbols | Whether debug symbols should be generated into the class file | No |
time | Asks the NetRexx compiler to print compilation times to the console | No |
trace | Turns on or off tracing and directs the resultant trace output | No |
utf8 | Tells the NetRexx compiler that the source is in UTF8 | No |
verbose | Whether lots of warnings and error messages should be generated | No |
suppressMethodArgumentNotUsed | Tells whether we should filter out the &Method argument not used& messages in strictargs mode. | No |
suppressPrivatePropertyNotUsed | Tells whether we should filter out the &Private Property defined, but not used& messages in strictargs mode. | No |
suppressVariableNotUsed | Tells whether we should filter out the &Variable set but not used& messages in strictargs mode. Please be careful with this one, as you can hide errors behind it! | No |
suppressExceptionNotSignalled | Tells whether we should filter out the &Exception is declared, but not signalled within the method& messages in strictsignal mode. | No |
suppressDeprecation | Tells whether we should filter out any deprecation-messages of the compiler out. | No |

» 8 Steps to Getting Your Finances in Order
8 Steps to Getting Your Finances in Order
Develop a family budget
. Instead of budgeting what you'd like to spend, use receipts to create a budget for what you actually spent over the last six months. One advantage of this approach is that it factors in unexpected expenses, such as car repairs, illnesses, etc., as well as predictable costs such as rent.
Reduce your debt
. Generally speaking, lenders look for a total debt load of no more than 36 percent of income. Since this figure includes your mortgage, which typically ranges between 25 percent and 28 percent of income, you need to get the rest of installment debt car loans, student loans, revolving balances on credit cards down to between 8 percent and 10 percent of your total income.
Get a handle on expenses
. You probably know how much you spend on rent and utilities, but little expenses add up. Try writing down
you spend for one month. You'll probably see some great ways to save.
Increase your income
. It may be necessary to take on a second, part-time job to get your income at a high-enough level to qualify for the home you want.
Save for a downpayment
. Although it's possible to get a mortgage with only 5 percent down or even less in some cases you can usually get a better rate and a lower overall cost if you put down more. Shoot for saving a 20 percent downpayment.
Create a house fund
. Don't just plan on saving whatever's left toward a downpayment. Instead decide on a certain amount a month you want to save, then put it away as you pay your monthly bills.
Keep your job
. While you don't need to be in the same job forever to qualify, having a job for less than two years may mean you have to pay a higher interest rate.
Establish a good credit history
. Get a credit card and make payments by the due date. Do the same for all your other bills. Pay off the entire balance promptly.

Greetings from Mexico Amigo Terry: Whenever I have mentioned that complete ignorance (benefit of the doubt) or in the worst case scenario a complete Official cover-up regarding TSEs in Mexico, It is NOT a joke and to give you an idea of what the situation is, please check out these numbers.
SAGARPA The Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganaderia, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentacion has hundreds of departments and NONE of them is authorized to work or keep any statistical info -or make them public- that may compromise or hurt the department in any possible way. As for the BSE testing, these are carried out by the Approved Laboratory of the Comision Mexico-Estados Unidos para la Prevencion de la Fiebre Aftosa y Otras Enfermedades Exoticas de los Animales CPA for short - in coordination with Dispositivo Nacional de Emergencia de Sanidad Animal DINESA- and they do report directly to Direccion General de Sanidad Animal. Such laboratory is MEX-USA (?) and was created to keep an eye on Anthrax and another exotic diseases like BSE today. It is a vault they say and reports only to Mexican and US authorities, no one else. Therefore, we, the common human being have no access to their info. They keep it simple, they don generate any stats so, there is no Public Information except the one they let you have, so, doing my home work I found this info scattered all over different Public and Private Institutions and putting it together I got the following: BSE Testing in Mexico* Year Herd MSH TIF TSA Tests - % Ttl 5.3 yrs 16.0M 7.0M 23.0M 1,072 0.0046 *Info on animals tested for 2001 is 1st Qtr., Jan 01-March 31, Columns: Source: SAGARPA sagarpa.gob.mx, senasica.sagarpa.gob.mx, siap.sagarpa.gob.mx and Confederacion Nacional de Organizaciones Ganaderas CNOG cnog.com.mx Note: Starting 2001 (?) they were to show just one figure for TSE testings, that is for BSE and Scrapie.... So you can not tell wether they are complying with anything nor leaving any trace anywhere... As for MBM, SRM, etc., you name it, we continue importing it from USA and Canada, no restrictions, no problem "Lets make $$$ and another administration will deal with it in 10 to 15 years if not longer
by then we will be long gone With love, your authorities
" As for the Japanese, S. Korean and Chinese Authorities

I was lying in bed reading a romance novel. (Yes, it's a filthy habit. Fun though!) When it suddenly hit me. The thought of a man touching my breasts excited me. Don't say 'Duh!' This was quite an eye opener. I haven't been interested in having my breasts fondled in ages. Well to be exact not since giving birth to my firstborn.
Sex as a parent sure is different. The romance writers don't mention dropping your kids off at your parents' house, just to go home for a hot and heavy session: 'How long did your mom say she'll look after them?'
Of course all the kids in these romance novels are sweet little angels that never get sick and they all go to bed on time, for the whole night. Read the sarcasm in that sentence. And I've never read a single book where the woman had to deal with the bodily changes of motherhood.
Nope, no leaking breast milk. Of course that milk comes out body temperature, so you only realise you're leaking when the milk starts cooling on the sheets. And who wants to have sex with a bra on? Okay, kinky lingerie aside, we're talking cover-the-top-half-of-your-body-stuffed-with-milk-absorbing-pad bras here. It's a definite mood breaker.
Now add to that the feeling of wrongness if your husband touched the thing your kid just suckled on half an hour ago, the pain of cracked nipples and a decrease in sexual sensitivity. All of it resulting in breasts becoming a no go zone.
But breastfeeding isn't forever, is it?
No, but imagine breastfeeding each kid for at least a year, like me. Now add two more kids. Let me tell you, hubby's hand fondling my breasts has not been a regular pastime. I've worked it out, for the last 65 months I'd been breastfeeding for 40. Now add to those two pregnancies. That's 89% of pregnant or breastfeeding in the last 5 ½ years. No wonder I didn't regard my breasts as sexual objects.
But I'm glad to report, that the sex in breast is back. No more pregnancies, no more breastfeeding. My body is finally my own again.
I wonder if I can persuade MIL to look after the kids tonight…

[Small update] New progress about the climbing system. Now supporting the Colossus.
Posted by Froyok on Oct 14th, 2012
This new update is small, I was very busy the last month so I was unable to work as hard I would like.
I stopped working on Lena to focus myself about a new gampelay part. The climbing system works fine (even if it is not perfect) so I decided to use it as base for the Colossi.
Unfortunately since I'm using the UDK I reach a lot of technical constraints. This mean I had to rewrite a new system for climbing the Colossi. Currently I use a grid which follow the Colossus' bones. This grid is made by hand because I can't generate it procedurally. It's a bit boring, but the benefit in the end is that I'm sure the grid will work as I want. It will allow me to personalize specifically each grid per Colossus. The grid is loaded with the colossus when you are ingame, and then the player can climb it point by point.
Take a look at some images of the current climbing system :
As always, you can follow the project with :
awesome! do you think it'll be possible to make a climbable material or "zone" on the collosi? so that it'll be like in shadow of the collosus or dragon's dogma? that would be so cool. so, that you can climb where ever you want on the body, or at least on the certain areas.
Unfortunately : no.
The way how the characters are handle in the UDK make me unable to create a free climbing system. However, if the grid has a lot of points, you will not feel that your are on a grid. The movement between the points will be smooth.
I'm really digging this a lot. I guess the best way to describe the climbing would be to relate it to Shadow of The Colossus? I know for sure that you could climb more or less where their "hair" was and other sort of ledges on their body, which in turn would relate to separate points that the UDK provides.

Title: | Preschoolers' word mapping: The interplay between labelling context and specificity of speaker information |
Author: | Elizabeth S. Nilsen |
Institution: | University of Waterloo |
Author: | Susan A. Graham |
Institution: | University of Calgary |
Author: | Tamara Pettigrew |
Institution: | Concordia University |
Linguistic Field: | Psycholinguistics |
Abstract: | We assessed the effect of specificity of speaker information about an object on three-year-olds' word mappings. When children heard a novel label followed by specific information about an object at exposure, children subsequently mapped the label to that object at test. When children heard only specific information about an object at exposure, they inferred that the label applied to a different object at test. Finally, non-specific information did not assist children in mapping a word to an object. Thus, children use speaker information as a word-mapping cue but this information is interpreted differently depending on how the discourse is initiated. |

iHerb 顾客评论
Seems to work

Reviewer2747753发表于 Oct 13, 2009
I've been taking these for a couple of months for acid reflux and IBS symptoms- I also take digestive enzymes, and basically by taking this with the enzymes before each meal I was able to stop taking Nexium and have had the same results. I'm still not cured though, so I'm trying different things, but it's worth it to not have to take a proton pump inhibitor (Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, etc.) indefinitely. The taste, being sugarless, is pretty bad, to be honest, but you get used to it. FYI: My symptoms are basically pressure in the stomach, and a congestion/gurgly feeling in the throat after meals. I've had all the GI workups and they couldn't find anything, so they say I have IBS.

I use DGL instead of Tums or other antacids. It not only helps sooth the stomach and digestion process, but is a great healing agent. I have read that these are not as effective after eating, but there have been times when I felt discomfort an hour or so after a meal and taking DGL put out the fire. So, I chew one when I need it.

Reporting from the aisles of a Costco store, my wife, Amy, has relayed word that Christmas decorations are already in view.
Why not? Home-shopping channels did "Christmas in July" for so many weeks this year that it drifted right into Christmas in August and Christmas in September. Recently, a store at our local mall simultaneously featured a back-to-school sale, a Halloween sale and discounts on Christmas ornaments.

Lorry sheds load of girders at Market Drayton roundabout
Steel girders were left strewn across a main road in Shropshire when a lorry shed its load on a roundabout.
The metal bars came crashing down onto the A53 at the Muller roundabout in Market Drayton.
Police said nobody was hurt in the incident, which happened just before 10am yesterday. But thanks to a passing motorist, who used a specialised vehicle to help clear the metal from the carriageway, there were no long tailbacks and the road was back to normal within a matter of minutes.
Richard Ewels, West Mercia Police spokesman, said: "A lorry shed its load of steel girders on the Muller roundabout, and the road was blocked for a short time, about 15 minutes. Traffic was held up until a passer-by used a lifting device on his vehicle to clear the metal from the road, so the road was quickly reopened."
Mr Ewels added that nobody was hurt in the incident, and none of the girders had hit any other traffic when they fell on to the road from the Mercedes dropside lorry.
"Police did attend but the road was cleared very quickly thanks to the passing motorist who helped at the scene," he added.

Histology (from the Greek ἱστός = 'tissue') is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals. It is performed by examining a thin slice of tissue under a light microscope. The ability to visualize or differentially identify microscopic structures is frequently enhanced through the use of histological stains. Histology is an essential tool of biology and medicine.
Histopathology, the microscopic study of diseased tissue, is an important tool in anatomical pathology, since accurate diagnosis of cancer and other diseases usually requires histopathological examination of samples. Trained medical doctors, frequently board certified as Pathologists, are the personnel who perform histopathological examination and provide diagnostic information based on their observations.
The trained scientists who perform the preparation of histological sections are histotechnicians, histology technicians (HT), histology technologists (HTL), medical scientists, medical laboratory technicians, or biomedical scientists. Their field of study is called histotechnology.
Embedding can also be accomplished using frozen, non-fixed tissue in a water-based medium. Pre-frozen tissues are placed into moulds with the liquid embedding material, usually a water-based glycol or resin, which is then frozen to form hardened blocks.
Frozen tissue embedded in a freezing medium is cut on a microtome in a cooled machine called a cryostat.
Special staining: There are hundreds of various other techniques that have been used to selectively stain cells and cellular components. Other compounds used to color tissue sections include safranin, oil red o, Congo red, fast green FCF, silver salts, and numerous natural and artificial dyes that were usually originated from the development dyes for the textile industry.
Histochemistry refers to the science of using chemical reactions between laboratory chemicals and components within tissue. A commonly performed histochemical technique is the Perls Prussian blue reaction, used to demonstrate iron deposits in diseases like hemochromatosis.
Histology samples have often been examined by radioactive techniques. In historadiography a slide (sometimes stained histochemically) is X-rayed. More commonly, autoradiography is used to visualize the locations to which a radioactive substance has been transported within the body, such as cells in S phase (undergoing DNA replication) which incorporate tritiated thymidine, or sites to which radiolabeled nucleic acid probes bind in in situ hybridization. For autoradiography on a microscopic level, the slide is typically dipped into liquid nuclear tract emulsion, which dries to form the exposure film. Individual silver grains in the film are visualized with dark field microscopy.
Recently, antibodies are used to specifically visualize proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids: this is called immunohistochemistry, or when the stain is a fluorescent molecule, immunofluorescence. This technique has greatly increased the ability to identify categories of cells under a microscope. Other advanced techniques, such as nonradioactive in situ hybridization, can be combined with immunochemistry to identify specific DNA or RNA molecules with fluorescent probes or tags that can be used for immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked fluorescence amplification (especially alkaline phosphatase and tyramide signal amplification). Fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy are used to detect fluorescent signals with good intracellular detail. Digital cameras are increasingly used to capture histological and histopathological image

Note that tissues from plants, fungi, and microorganisms can also be examined histologically. Their structure is very different from animal tissues.
Artifacts are structures or features in tissue that interfere with normal histological examination. These are not always present in normal tissue and can come from outside sources. Artifacts interfere with histology by changing the tissues appearance and hiding structures. These can be divided into two categories:

The Electroindustry Business Confidence Index (EBCI) for current North American conditions climbed to 69.6 in February, up 6 points from January's reading of 63.6. The index has topped 60 points in each of the last four months, indicating a sustained improvement in the economic environment facing a broad cross-section of electrical equipment manufacturers. A reading above 50 indicates more panelists reported better conditions compared to the previous month than reported worse conditions.
The EBCI for future North American conditions slipped modestly in February from the near seven-year high recorded in the previous month, but it remained at an elevated level by historical standards at 84.8. A majority of survey panelists – 70% – expect to see conditions improve during the next six months, while none of the 23 respondents anticipate deterioration.

Question about mistake in Front office...
There is a question that continues to be posed on the boards and I'm sure the question rings in the halls of the front office. What kind of year will Davie Franchise have? To the teams benefit, I believe they feel they have strengthened the defense, not placing added pressure on the Offense to produce alot of points. But one key elemnt is missing in the this off season......Who will be the legit #2 receiver.
All the Bradford threads in the world about him working hard is not going to convince me this guy is a true #2 . If that was the case, he would still be in Green Bay, with a Hall of Famer throwing him the ball. Gaffney is a great choice for possession wr, but has he gotten stronger in the offseason and become a big enough threat to not allow teams to double team Johnson? This question has not been answered yet.
I think the team should have drafted another receiver or picked up a legit free agent that can take pressure off of Johnson and Carr! No team in the leauge has been successful with their #2 WR dropping more passses than the practice squad. Bradford shows speed and athleticism most of the time, but also shows lapses in concentration and drops too many easy passes. Eventually this will hurt us. Gaffney catches everything is sight, but is he strong enough to get off the line, face the physical corners, and have the speed to expose them?
Maybe the front office knows something we don't know. Maybe the offense will take a different view. Maybe this will become a spread out offense, with Davis running through gaps. Who knows. All I know is, this position was not upgraded from last season! And if we are not able to throw downfield, don't blame Davie Franchise and the double-teamed Andre Johnson!.........

Records five-degree drop in average November temperature
People, keep your woollens out and on for the next couple of days. The weatherman does not expect the temperature to rise before Sunday at least.
A sudden cold spell has caught Bangalore and parts of the State by surprise since Thursday: 13.4 degrees Celsius in the city and as low as 10.2 at the Bengaluru International Airport. It let up slightly on Friday to 14.5 degrees C in Bangalore.
Interior parts
This, for Bangalore, was a good five degree fall in the minimum temperature of 18 degrees C based on 50-year records.
On Friday, interior parts of the State such as Chamarajanagar hit 9.6 degrees C; Raichur 10.4; Mysore 11.7; and Madikeri 11.8 degrees Celsius. The coastal region was relatively warm.
"We are not expecting a significant rise for at least the next two days," said B. Puttanna, Director, Meteorological Centre. The trend could change owing to an impending low pressure that may cause clouding and warming.
According to him, November temperatures rarely go below 10 degrees C. In 2010 and 2011, he recalled, Bijapur shivered to a record 5.6 degrees C. This year, the real winter months of December-February may see further fall in temperature.

Turner, C. (2006) 'Wealth as an immorality symbol in the Qur'an : a reconsideration of the mal amwal verses.', The journal of Qur'anic studies., 8 . pp. 58-83.
Historically, academic research on the Qur'anic approach to wealth and ownership has been carried out largely from two disciplinary perspectives: jurisprudence and economics. Similarly, outwith the Islamic tradition, much has been written on the anthropology of wealth accumulation and the history of man's obsession with money and private ownership. On the symbology of wealth in the Qur'an, however, little if anything has been written. In one singularly enigmatic verse, Q. 104:3, the Qur'an interprets the lure of material possessions as nothing less than a symptom of man's desire to live forever. Using as our theoretical basis the principle of 'immortality striving' developed by cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker, and taking this verse as our conceptual starting point, this paper aims to explore the notion of wealth as an immortality symbol, with particular reference to the 'rejection narratives' in the Qur'an which detail the negative encounters between the prophets and their addressee communities.

S. K. Morgan Ernest, Thomas J. Valone, and James H. Brown. 2009. Long-term monitoring and experimental manipulation of a Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem near Portal, Arizona, USA. Ecology 90:1708.
The long-term data on precipitation at the long-term site near Portal, Arizona, has been used to study the relationship between precipitation and community dynamics (e.g., abundance changes in plants, ants, rodents, or overall ecosystem structure) and relationships between extreme precipitation events and species declines. This metadata file describes the field data collection and data structure for the precipitation data set. Because the spatial scale of the study site is relatively small relative to the scale at which precipitation events occur, there is only one precipitation measurement for the site. The location of the precipitation gauge can be found on the map of the site ( metadata.htm; Fig 1). There are two precipitation data files (19801989 and 19892002). The separate files reflect changes in the time scale at which precipitation data was collected (approximately daily-to-weekly vs. hourly, respectively). Further details on data collection are detailed in this file.

James H. Brown, Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque NM 87131
Abstract: The data set covers a 23 year period (19802002) of precipitation monitoring near Portal, Arizona. From 19801989, monthly precipitation values collected at the site are available. In 1989, the site switched to an automated weather station which recorded hourly rainfall amounts.
D. Key words: precipitation, Chihuahuan Desert, LTREB data.
A. Overall project description
Identity: Long-term monitoring of precipitation near Portal, Arizona,USA.
Originators: Drs. James H. Brown, Diane W. Davidson, James Reichman
Period of Study: 19802002
Objectives: To monitor availability of a limiting resource (i.e., water) and its effects on the dynamics of a desert ecosystem.
Source(s) of funding: See metadata.htm
B. Specific subproject description
1. Site description: The 24 experimental plots cover an area not more than 20 ha in size. Due to the small spatial-scale of the plot and the spatial scale of the typical precipitation event, there is only one weather station for the site. This station has been located in the same general vicinity of the 20 ha site since 1980 (See metadata.htm, Fig 1 for location).
Data Collection Period, Frequency: Before 1989, precipitation was collected in a standard "manual" rain gauge and approximately weekly a volunteer residing in the vicinity would visit the site and collect data on rainfall amounts. There is no existing documentation for data collected before 1989. From the data, it appears that this individual may have tried to visit the site whenever there was precipitation in the area. Because dates associated with precipitation values have little accuracy or meaning, we have provided only monthly precipitation values from 19801989. In 1989, an automated weather station was installed at the site (Campbell Scientific) capable of recording precipitation amounts on an hourly basis. The automated and manual collection protocols were run concurrently for approximately 2 months until the old weather station was hit by lightning. No information currently exists on the make or model of the rain gauge for the first automated weather station. After a serious malfunction in February 2002, a new automated weather station (Campbell Scientific) was installed in December 2002. The rain gauge associated with the current weather station is a Texas Electronics 8 inch gauge (TE525WS-L). The precipitation data are divided into two files (19801989 and 19892002) to reflect the different frequencies of data collection.
3. Research Methods
Field: 19801989: Very little documentation exists regarding collection of precipitation data prior to 1989.
19892002: Data are downloaded monthly in conjunction with the monthly rodent census. While we do not appear to have documentation on the accuracy of the rain gauge associated with the first automated weather station, we do know that it was a tipping bucket rain gauge and the data suggest that each tip was equal to 0.254 mm. This is equivalent to the tipping bucket rain gauge associated with the current weather station which began operation in 2002.
A. Status
Latest Update: October 2007
Latest Archive date: October 2007
Metadata status: The metadata are complete and up to date.
Data verification: A manual rain gauge is maintained on site and periodically checked to provide independent verification of rainfall amounts.
B. Accessibility
Storage location and medium: (Ecological Society of America data archives [Ecological Archives], URL published in each issue of its journals). Original data files reside with S. K. Morgan Ernest on two separate machines.
Contact person: S. K. Morgan Ernest, Department of Biology, Utah State University Logan UT 84322. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Copyright restrictions: None.
Proprietary restrictions: None. However, we do request that authors of publications using the precipitation database notify S. K. Morgan Ernest (contact information above) of publication of their study. This helps us by allowing us to make accurate reports to the National Science Foundation and document that the scientific community finds the data from this study to be useful.

Recommendation for battery grip and batteries for T3i {Please}
Jul 8, 2012
I always do a search before asking as so not to keep asking the same question over and over...But so far all I found was people talking about the weight of a battery grip.
and I come here as I trust the opinions here.
What I am looking for is a recommendation for a battery grip and extra batteries and where to get them. *
Also, not long ago I did purchase some Wassabi batteries but they do not seem to hold a charge as long as the original Canon battery. So I need some help on gettings some good batteries along with a battery grip.
Thank you for your help.

GLAAD works closely with media professionals to educate them about the diversity of the glbtq community and to provide them accurate information. It also trains community activists to work effectively with the media. Perhaps most importantly, it monitors incidents of defamation in the media and works to redress biased representations. Over the past two decades, the organization has met with numerous successes in its struggle to ensure that America's movies, television programs, newspapers, and radio broadcasts provide inclusive, fair, and honest portrayals of glbtq people. History GLAAD was formed in New York to protest the sensationalized and defamatory New York Post coverage of the emerging AIDS epidemic. The Post problem underlined the general lack of queer representation in the media--and the stereotypes illustrated on the rare occasions when gays were made visible. Shortly after commencing its initial efforts on the East Coast, GLAAD began working in Los Angeles to educate the entertainment industry about depicting gays and lesbians in films and television. The organization went on to establish chapters in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. before becoming a national organization in 1995. Currently GLAAD's offices operate in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Early Successes GLAAD broke major ground during the first few years of its existence. In 1986, it launched a weekly Los Angeles-based radio broadcast, Naming Names, which became available to 600 public radio stations throughout the United States. The following year, after negotiations with GLAAD, the New York Times changed its editorial policy to mandate using the term "gay" rather than "homosexual" in its pages. In June of 1989, 20 years after the Stonewall rebellion, the U.S. Postal Service issued a commemorative Stonewall cancellation at the request of GLAAD. In 1992, Entertainment Weekly named GLAAD one of "Hollywood's 100 Most Powerful Entities." Coalition Building GLAAD has been involved with numerous coalitions, such as local and national groups committed to lifting the ban on gay and lesbian military service members, the National Freedom to Marry coalition, and the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs. In addition, the organization has actively supported hate-crime legislation, and brought attention to the hate-motivated murders of Matthew Shepard, Brandon Teena, Arthur Warren, and others.
