Much appreciated, John! The ocelot was not to be found & the fox had a trainer in the pen, so no photos… but it is a terrific museum. I'll check out your shots. Thanks again!

WATCH: Bobby Flay And More Rally In Support Of Gender-Neutralizing Easy Bake Ovens
Remember our favorite protesting eighth-grader McKenna Pope? She's the young lady who hit Hasbro with a Change.org petition asking for gender-neutral Easy Bake Oven marketing, so that her 4-year-old brother Gavyn could feel comfortable playing with one around his friends. In the accompanying YouTube video McKenna made, Gavyn reveals that he wants a dinosaur and an Easy Bake for Christmas, but complains that the oven is pink, which means that only girls can play with it.
Enter Bobby Flay. No, really. As an early owner of an Easy Bake Oven, Bobby stepped in to voice his support for McKenna and Gavyn, in the hopes of reaching Hasbro. He told AP:
"Why not actually create something that everybody knows the name, but also it comes in different colors so that boys, girls, doesn't matter, they can pick what color they want and it will make them a little more comfortable to buy it?"
Chef support snowballed from there. Manuel Trevino of Marble Lane, Joshua Whigham of The Bazaar by Jose Andres, Laurent Tourondel of Arlington Club, Brad Spence of Amis Trattoria, Spencer Rubin of The Melt Shop, Jeff Mahin of Stella Rossa Pizza Bar, and a boisterous Michael Lomonaco of Porterhouse New York all chimed in to make a video of their own in support of McKenna and Gavyn's petition. Check out the video below. Warning: extreme heart-string-tugging may occur. Oh and, incidentally, 13-year-old McKenna has a marketing meeting with Hasbro on Monday.

Some look for love at their local nightly hotspot, others take to the internet, but San Diego millionaire Marc Paskin decided to go a little bigger. In a move that some might call unreasonably extravagant while others might call it romantically daring, Paskin comissioned a billboard announcing his millionaire status and his deep-seeded longing for Latino love.
A La Jolla real estate mogul who put up a controversial billboard to find a girlfriend said the tactic was a success beyond my wildest dreams.
The billboard, which had a photo of Marc Paskin and displayed his email address , said, All I Want for Christmas is a Latina Girlfriend.
Paskin, who appeared on the ABC reality series Secret Millionaire in 2011, wrote an email to FOX5 Tuesday, explaining that he put the billboard up in the hope of meeting his soul mate.

For Retirement Plan Specialists, yearly average wages total $49K annually. Including potential for bonuses and profit sharing — peaking near $8K and $5K, respectively — total cash payment to Retirement Plan Specialists can bottom out near $36K or peak near $75K depending on individual performance. Career length is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. Most Retirement Plan Specialists like their work and job satisfaction is high. Women account for the majority of Retirement Plan Specialists who responded to the questionnaire — 66 percent to be exact. Most enjoy medical while a strong majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to more than half. The information for this snapshot was generated by responses to the PayScale salary survey.
Retirement plan specialists are in charge of providing effective advice on plan options regarding retirement for individuals. They are responsible for providing sound financial-planning programs to interested parties. In addition, retirement plan specialists develop strong business relationships with individuals who need retirement planning advice, provide forms to customers, and guide people through the entire retirement financing process. These specialists also suggest new ideas for product and service development within their company, as well as research financial issues and recommend new retirement program options.
Read More...Overall, survey participants reported applying a fair number of skills to their work. Most notably, skills in Retirement Plan Administration, 401k Plan Administration, Windows Operating System General Use, and Microsoft Word are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Word. Those educated in Microsoft Excel tend to be well versed in Microsoft Office.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience is an important factor influencing the compensation of Retirement Plan Specialists. People who have worked for fewer than five years bring home $43K on average. Median compensation in the five-to-10 year group, however, is higher at approximately $52K. Retirement Plan Specialists claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $57K. Big financial gains seem to result from working for more than two decades; veterans in this group report earning $70K on average.

COLUMBIA - The Missouri women's soccer team opened the Big 12 Conference season with a 3-2 victory over No. 12 Oklahoma State Sunday at Walton Stadium. Bree Thornton scored twice for the Tigers, and Michelle Collins scored the winner.
Thornton scored in the 16th and 18th minutes to put Missouri ahead 2-0 going into halftime. Melinda Mercado scored for Oklahoma State in the 58th minute, and Krista Lopez tied the game in the 71st minute.
The Tigers (6-4-1, 1-0-0) scored the game-winner five minutes later when Kristin Andrighetto swung in a corner kick that bounced off Oklahoma State goalkeeper Adrianna Franch to Michelle Collins, who scored her third goal of the season.
Missouri goalkeeer Tasha Dittamore made the most important of her six saves in the 82nd minute after Oklahoma State (7-4-0, 1-2-0) was awarded a penalty kick and she dove to stop a shot by Annika Niemeier.
The Tigers return to action next weekend with games Friday at Texas and Sunday at Texas A&M.

It would be against all ethics for me to make recommendations to you to break the rules of the hospital that is caring for you. I will not give such guidance. They have their rules for their reasons, and surprisingly, their rules are to help you get out from under their care asap.

Director: Uncredited
Companies: Kelly Madison Productions, 413 Productions
Distribution Companies: Juicy Entertainment
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Still Gallery(ies)
Krystal Steal, Ryan Madison, Kelly Madison, Jessica Jaymes, Claire Dames, Mya Nichole
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Over two hours of sex! The wildest P.F. video ever!
Porn about committed couples is supposed to be boring, right? Safe and soft so the ladies will watch it, right? Apparently the folks behind Porn Fidelity think differently, cuz these swinging (and cheating) couples and members of a couple know how to sizzle.
Claire Dames is a bride on her way to her wedding with no underwear of any kind on under her gown. When the handsome best man ties on her garter and sees she's gone commando, no one's surprised what happens next.
Kelly Madison is already married, which is why she bakes cookies for her husband and trashy stripper Jessica Jaymes before they all fall into a sweet and sweaty heap. Later Madison reprises her marital role with real-world hubby Ryan Madison and fellow biker babe Krystal Steal.
Things wrap up nicely with Mya Nichole's initially shy and ultimately shameless audition for the role of a one-legged Cuban hooker.

That readers of FHM magazine have voted an androgynous man in to their most recent list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World might have been a cause for celebration among equal rights campaigners.
Instead, the United States version of the magazine has provoked outrage over its warning to readers to "pass the sick bucket" on seeing 19-year-old Andrej Pejic, of Melbourne, rather ignoring the fact that it was they who voted for him in the first place.
"Designers are hailing him as the next big thing," the blurb accompanying Mr Pejic's entry online read before it was hastily removed, after drawing a wave of criticism.
"We think 'thing' is quite accurate.
"The gender bender has jumped the gun in hoping he might one day be signed as Victoria's Secret Model (pass the sick bucket)."
The magazine said: "Andrej Pejic appears at number 98 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2011.
"Regrettably the copy accompanying Andrej's online entry wasn't subbed prior to going live. Once we realised, we removed it immediately and apologised for any offence caused. FHM has spoken to the individual concerned and taken steps to ensure this can never happen again."
Though the outrage caused by comments prompted FHM to remove the entry from its website, Pejic will still feature in the print version of the list which comes with this month's edition.
"More troubling is the fact that Andrej is not the only one when it comes to supermodels that are not all they seem," the magazine goes on.
"The current face of Givenchy and 'lady' locking lips with Kate Moss on the cover of Love magazine is transgender model Lea T. who began life as Leandro. One fashion trend we won't be following."
Mr Pejic was first spotted by a talent scout while working at his local fast-food restaurant, and has since modelled for Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs in campaigns at Paris Fashion Week.
When he began modelling his agency encouraged him to be more masculine, and go to the gym, as the menswear clients wouldn't like him, before realising a completely new direction might be more profitable.
But it is not the first time controversy has followed him. Last month his unbuttoned top on the cover Dossier Journal in the US became an issue for the book-selling giant Barnes & Noble, which insisted the magazine be sold in opaque plastic bags.
Having been chatted up by Australian men since the age of 14 ("Sometimes they're shocked, but most of the time they still want to buy me a drink," Mr Pejic says), neither his place on the list nor the reaction it has engendered will come as a particular surprise to him.
He has been more philosophical than his persecutors on the matter.
In an interview last month, he declared: "It's a very liberal industry. You can be yourself. Just not overweight."

Ortega Method
The Ortega Method is a 2x2 and 3x3 speedsolving method named after Victor Ortega. It was independently invented by Victor Ortega and Josef Jelínek. It is mostly popular as an intermediate 2x2 solving method.
As a 2x2x2 Method
After a 3x3x3 method, the next step for most people is the Ortega method. First, solve one face intuitively; don't worry about solving a layer, because the face will be permuted later. Second, orient the opposite face, using the same OLL algorithms as on 3x3x3 (or more efficient ones if you want - see algs below). Finally you permute both layers at the same time (PBL). The last step sounds difficult but there are only 5 possible cases, so it is quick to learn. In total, there are 12 algorithms to learn (11 without reflections).
For the first face, without colour neutrality, the average move count in HTM is a surprisingly low 3.97, and no cases require more than 5 turns. Because of this inspection is just a few seconds, advanced users benefit from that and uses the remaining inspection time to predict the OLL case, or even the whole solve.
The case shown in the picture is known as Sune.
As a 3x3x3 Method
Using Ortega as a 3x3x3 method involves first solving the corners completely, followed by insertion of the D layer edges, and 3 of the U-layer edges. The mid-layer edges are then oriented during placement of the final U-layer edge, and finally the mid-layer edges are permuted. @see rubikscube.info link below..

ISTANBUL -- It seems a typical scene of urban decay: abandoned buildings, crumbling walls, trash, and broken wine bottles. Yet it's more than 1,500 years old. Engineers uncovered these ruins of an ancient Byzantine port during drilling for a huge underground rail tunnel.
Like Romans, Athenians, and residents of other great historic cities, the people of Istanbul can hardly put a shovel in the ground without digging up something important.
But the ancient port uncovered in November in the Yenikapi neighborhood is of a different scale: It has grown into the largest archaeological dig in Istanbul's history, and the port's extent is only now being revealed.
Archaeologists call it the Port of Theodosius, after the emperor of Rome and Byzantium who died in AD 395. They expect to gain insights into ancient commercial life in the city, once called Constantinople, that was the capital of the eastern Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires.
Dr. Cemal Pulak, of Texas A&M University and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Turkey, said engineers working on the tunnel project were surprised to unearth the ruins. But he said archaeologists knew from ancient documents the port was somewhere around Yenikapi.
``This was the ancient harbor of Byzantium, the Theodosian harbor," Pulak said, pointing to the dusty site around him, which he said was probably an expansion of an earlier port known as Eleutherion.
So far, the 17 archaeologists, three architects, and some 350 workers at the site have found what they think might be a church, a gated entrance to the city, and eight sunken ships, which have Pulak particularly excited.
He believes the ships were wiped out in a giant storm. He said the wooden boats, all apparently destroyed around 1000, make up a sort of ``missing link" in the history of shipbuilding because of the fusion of old and new techniques in a single boat.
``When I came here and saw those ships, the lower part built by the ancient method, the upper part by the modern method, it was more or less the missing link," Pulak said.
The site is huge, about four city blocks long by two to three wide. Hundreds of workers dig with picks and shovels, dusting items off or rolling wheelbarrows up wooden planks.
Most of the items are ancient trash: broken pottery that sailors tossed from a ship or animal bones from a nearby slaughterhouse that were thrown into the harbor.
Digging for the Marmaray tunnel has also led to archaeological finds in the Uskudar district on the Asian side of Istanbul and Sirkeci and Veznedar on the European side. Giant machines constructing the tunnel are dredging up artifacts from the sea floor in the Bosporus.
Most of the tens of thousands of pieces likely to be uncovered will be cataloged and then reburied where they were found, said Metin Gokay, a scientist at the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. Only a small percentage will qualify as museum-quality pieces, while others will be used for research.
Modern-day Turkish coins will be left with the reburied items as markers to show the area has been disturbed, just in case archaeologists many centuries later dig the site up again, Gokay said.
Part of the value of the site is its abundance of ancient trash. Refuse is one of the best ways to study how people lived.
Hundreds of cracked clay pots already have indicated how merchants carried wine, olive oil, and other trading items, and some carry markings that give clues about how the pots were handled and traded.
``We've found things that shed important light on the history of Istanbul," said Ismail Karamut, head of the archaeological project.
Officials said they plan to build a museum on part of the site and incorporate it into the rail project, which is meant to ease traffic on the jammed streets in the city of 15 million people.
The excavation site is where the Marmaray tunnel was supposed to link up with a subway station in a massive underground station. Planners now say they are considering moving the underground link to a spot farther outside Istanbul.

Nonlinear optics in relativistic plasmas
Optics Express, Vol. 2, Issue 7, pp. 282-288 (1998)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (800 KB)
We review our recent work on the various nonlinear optical processes that occur as an intense laser propagates through a relativistic plasma. These include the experimental observations of electron acceleration driven by laser-wakefield generation, relativistic self-focusing, waveguide formation and laser self-channeling.

Bone-Anchored Craniofacial Prosthesis Study
Dan E. Tolman, DDS, MSD/Peter F. Taylor, DDS, MSD
A prospective study involving 24 centers and 145 patients was conducted to evaluate the long-term osseointegration survival rate for titanium implants anchoring a craniofacial prosthesis (auricular, orbital, or nasal) and to evaluate the long-term retention and stability of the prosthesis. Of 452 implants placed, 19 were lost (overall survival rate of 96%). Of the 145 patients, 115 were evaluated (remained active) throughout the study period and were followed-up for at least 30 months. The results of the study suggest that the bone-anchored craniofacial prosthesis system is a viable alternative to conventional reconstructive surgery and offers significant improvement in the quality of life when compared with the support systems previously available for these types of prostheses.

San Leandro Creek, formerly Arroyo de San Leandro is a 21.7-mile-long (34.9 km)[3] year-round natural stream in Northern California. It flows along the east side of the hills east of Oakland and San Leandro. In the hills, it runs into Upper San Leandro Reservoir and then Lake Chabot, both man-made lakes lying north of the unincorporated town of Castro Valley, California. It then runs through the city of San Leandro and on into San Leandro Bay after crossing Hegenberger Road just north of Oakland International Airport.
Although it is channeled and culverted in places, it is remarkable among East Bay streams for being mostly uncovered throughout most of its course. It is joined by Indian Creek then at Upper San Leandro Reservoir it is joined by Moraga Creek, Redwood Creek, Buckhorn Creek and Kaiser Creek, then just below the spillway by Miller Creek. At Lake Chabot in Anthony Chabot Regional Park it is joined by Grass Valley Creek, then descends to San Leandro Bay.[4]
The Redwood Creek tributary is protected by Redwood Regional Park, which contains the largest remaining natural stand of Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) found in the East Bay.[5]
The creek terminates in Arrowhead Marsh, one of the few marshlands left in the East Bay. The marsh formed in San Leandro Bay between 1855 and 1895 from sediments washed down San Leandro Creek during construction of the Lake Chabot dam and also from the logging of the San Antonio Forest.[6]

San Leandro Creek was formerly named Arroyo de San Leandro, likely named by the Spanish for St. Leander, 6th-century archbishop of Seville, "Apostle of the Goths".[1] It was crossed by El Camino Viejo now, State Route 185.
The creek is known for having been the site of the first rainbow trout hatchery in the world, drawing on the locally native variety of the species. The fish raised in this hatchery were sent as far away as New York.[8] Although Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the landlocked form of steelhead trout, was initially identified in 1792 in Kamchatka, Siberia by Johann Julius Walbaum, William P. Gibbons, founder of the California Academy of Sciences, believed in 1855 that he had discovered a new species of trout in San Leandro Creek, which he named Salmo iridea (now the Coastal rainbow trout subspecies Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus).[5][9] The site was then declared a California Historical Landmark.[7]
In 1874 work began on Lake Chabot Dam and it was completed in 1875, forming a 315-acre lake. Lake Chabot serves as a standby emergency water supply but was opened to limited recreation in the 1960s.[10] Four miles upstream, a second dam built in 1926 formed San Leandro Reservoir.
It sustains the redwood groves in the unincorporated town of Canyon, California and was formerly lined with numerous oaks and willows in its lower course.
Historical records indicate that Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) occurred in at least two San Francisco Bay Area watersheds, San Leandro Creek in Alameda County, and San Mateo Creek in San Mateo County.[11] In the 1870s, "quinnant", or Chinook salmon were reported from lower San Leandro Creek and persisted in Lake Chabot for several years following the completion of Lake Chabot Dam in 1875.[12] California Department of Fish and Game Warden George Smalley reported runs of Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in San Leandro Creek "…in the early days" and "…that after the completion of the Upper San Leandro Reservoir a run still persisted to the base of the dam for many years". Leidy considered this single historical account of Coho in the creek "reliable...since we believe that suitable habitat was present in the watershed."[13] As mentioned above, Gibbons discovered rainbow trout in San Leandro Creek in 1855. Thus, all three species of Oncorhynchus once inhabited San Leandro Creek.
Today, Lake Chabot's rainbow trout are hatchery fish, but the rainbow trout in San Leandro Reservoir are descended from native steelhead which were trapped when San Leandro Dam was constructed on Redwood Creek in 1926. The San Leandro trout have maintained genetic integrity with native coastal California steelhead since they have not been mixed with hatchery trout, and were used in a 1983 reintroduction of steelhead to Wildcat Creek in Tilden Regional Park.[14]

Of course. If the owner/manager tells you that they don't want vaping in their establishment... then you have to honor their wishes. Its their property. They make the rules.
No its really not. Its well known that going into a store shoeless will likely result in being asked to leave. In fact, a lot of establishments have a sign at the door that forewarns you.
I've vaped quite a few times in walmart and haven't had a problem. I even vaped in the check out line. Right in front of the bag lady and cashier. They were looking right at me and didn't utter a word. Theres no sign at the door that says you can't vape either. So shoeless and vaping are not in the same category of "unacceptable behavior".

SENATE DOCKET, NO. 1632 FILED ON: 1/18/2013 SENATE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No. 204
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts _______________ In the Year Two Thousand Thirteen _______________ An Act relative to teaching excellence. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: SECTION 1. The General Court finds that, in our current education system, the ten processes that are designed to support educator quality are frequently disconnected, undermining their collective capacity to support and sustain educator excellence, and depleting resources from schools; and further finds that when the components of this system are organized to align with one another and with a common, research-based, field-tested core of professional knowledge, the cumulative effect is a more effective, unified and efficient system. That system will produce high expertise teaching for more students, resulting in their improved achievement. Therefore, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education may conduct a study and issue a report as to best implement this educational system, and finds that the passage of this act is necessary to address the problem of lack of continuity and connection by encouraging adoption of a validated common core of professional teaching knowledge that impacts all the levers of influence on teacher quality and expertise in a coordinated and sustainable manner. of |

Yuanshuailin National Forest Park
Last updated by chinatravel at 2014/10/31
Yuanshuailin National Forest Park is located in the northeastern part of Fushun City in East Liaoning Province and lies in the mausoleum area of Zhang Zuolin (a reaction warlord in 1900s) in the northeast bank of Dahuofang Reservoir.
The park is situated in the converging place of Hunhe River and Suzi River, and in the northern part of Sa'erhu River facing Tiebei Mountain. The park is characterized by exuberant trees and grotesque hills. It is run across by Suzi River, Hunhe River and Sa'erhu River, and accompanied by crystal water of Dahuofang Reservoir. Scenery of the forest park therefore features quietness, elegance and delight. Exhibited in the park are stone sculptures and embossments of Ming and Qing dynasty. They are exquisite and vivid with unique styles. Besides, there are historical relics of the residential of Hanwang Emperor of Ming dynasty. The co-existence of natural and historical relics wins reputation for the park which has become a forest tourist resort. Sa'erhu Mountain in the nearby is also a famous tourist attraction, boasting of historical and cultural relics including the ancient city sites of Jin dynasty and stone steles by Qianlong Emperor for commemorating the Sa'erhu War.
Yuanshuai Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Warlord Zhang Zuolin. It lies in East Fushun County near to Tiebei Mount Station.
On June 4th, 1928, Zhang Zuolin was murdered on the Shenyang Express by Japanese when he returned from Beijing to Huangutun. In order to find a good graveyard, his family employed a master of geomantic master to search for one and finally chose this site. Later Zhang Xueliang (a great general of Kuomintang) and his wife as well as the concubines of Zhang Zuolin decided to build the mausoleum here. It was started from May, 1929, and completed three years later. The mausoleum is composed of three parts, namely, square city, round city and grave, accounting for 14.5 hectares. The integral construction of the mausoleum is characterized by grandness, precise layout and refulgence. It combines the custom of mausoleum building in former dynasties and the originality of western styles. For instance, the wall of the square city is quite high; constructions in front of the gate is of Ming and Qing Style; Green colored glaze tiles with beautiful drawing or patterning support the ridge; the single-eave is of Xieshan Style; there are blockhouses at the four corners, etc. Due to the September 18th Incident which happened when the mausoleum was to be completed, the reliquiae of Zhang Zuolin failed to be buried here and the mausoleum became an empty one. Considering Zhang Zuolin was a general but not an emperor, his mausoleum was then called Yuanshuailin (means the mausoleum of the General).
Solo Adventure Tips:

Disproportional Control Rights and the Bonding Role of DebtAiyesha DeyUniversity of Minnesota - Carlson School of Management Xue WangOhio State University - Fisher College of Business Valeri V. NikolaevUniversity of Chicago - Booth School of Business November 1, 2009 Abstract: We examine how firms' capital structure choices vary with the presence of dual-class ownership and the degree of disproportional control associated with it. We document that, compared to a propensity-matched sample of single-class firms, dual-class firms have higher leverage, greater propensity to issue private debt, more long-term debt, and greater reliance on financial covenants. Within our dual-class sample, the use of debt financing increases with the degree of disproportional control via voting rights or board election rights. This evidence is consistent with controlling insiders bonding against the agency problems associated with dual-class ownership through their capital structure choices. Also consistent with this view, we document that leverage attenuates (and ultimately reverses) the adverse effect of dual-class status on Tobin's q and cost of equity capital, and is associated with increased institutional investment in dual-class firms. Taken together, our evidence suggests that debt plays a governance role and disciplines insiders in dual-class firms.

Thanks for the tips. I incorporated Dmitri's patches to uaccess.h and the syscall handlers and got usermode to come up correctly. I'm aware of the SB1250 PCI problems and will be addressing that after I get a few more on-board peripherals working. I've got my own fairly complex PCI subsystem to port from 2.4 (hotplug, many bridges, hypertransport configuration) and the main thing that I need from the core SB1250 support is the ability to generate configuration cycles. Because of the way the hardware works, I have to program all the bridges myself (the ROM firmware does not do this for me). I'll be sure to send patches to the list for anything I fix in the core SB1250 PCI support.

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
HELLOOOO!!!! Havent you read the post in which I said "IF HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, we will win?? In that post, I mentioned that in the 1992 and 1993 seasons, we were blown out on opening day and won the next game in dramatic fashion. ( 1992 it was the bills over the then LA RAMS 40-7. We turned around and beat the NE pats 14-0. In 1993, it was the Packers over the then LA Rams 36-6. We turned around and beat the PIT steelers 27-0. None of those teams were defending SB champs, but its about the cut-hip we took in those opening day games. )
But as far as the above-highlighted game is concerned, there was never such a game. We have never historically played the Giants the years ( 1985-86 season and 1989-1990 season) after they won the superbowls; we only played them the years in between, all which were meaningless games. BUT

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
I don't realistically see us beating the Giants, sorry. I'll just be thrilled if they put up a honest effort and come away without anymore major injuries. Like I have always said, all we have to do is take care of business in our own division to make it to the playoffs and have a decent 8-8 record. A team like the Giants is just too stacked and confident for us to get a probable win against.

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
I believe that you could call this a trap game scenario. I'm not sure who the Giants are playing in week 3, but you can certainly see that they could be much more interested in this game than in the "lowly, pathetic" Rams, and that could certainly come up and bite them. You've seen it before, and you'll see it again. The question is... can the Rams pull it off?

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
Whatever advantage (if any) Adeyanju has over Little as a run blocker probably won't compensate for the deficit in pass rushing ability.
Anyway, the one real upside I see going into this game is that most of their vaunted pass rushers are out of commission. Strahan is gone. Umenyiora is sidelined. Kiwanuka moved from linebacker to defensive end (his position in college), but he got injured in the opener and only just started practicing again today. If he does play, he might not be at full strength. With Kiwanuka on the defensive line or sideline, that leaves them with former Texan Danny Clark and Gerris Wilkinson (started 3 games in his career) as their outside linebackers. Plus Gibril Wilson left via free agency over the off-season, leaving them with second year defensive back Michael Johnson at free safety.
On paper their defense looks vulnerable, and an underwhelming Redskins defense held them scoreless in the second half last week. If we come out determined to prove we're better than we appeared last week, I could see us upsetting the champs. This is a great opportunity for the team to make a statement and set a new tone for the season. The team can't let up if they want to win, though.

Little getting hurt is not a blessing for the rams in any way shape or form. He is our only solid pass rush threat.

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
Faulk made a commit that was in a early post, that make me think that we should be able to win or least compete in this game. "quote players that have had big time success, were talking Pro Bowl caliber players: Marc Bulger, Torry Holt, Orlando Pace, Steven Jackson. They look like they dont belong in the league. And its not because they cant play. Youre not going to tell me that. Im not believing that they all of a sudden cant play in this league. quote ) I find it hard to believe that we can't compete or win this game it's always hope I hope.

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
Game 1 of the 2008 season -- the Eagles seemed to be a better team than the Giants, even when considering their respective opponents. // Game 2: Eli does not seem to be the QB many think he already is. // Rams should have a better passing game from here on and Jax wants to vindicate himself (especially after that blow where he lost his helmet).
GC, I definitely take a step forward and join in on believing we will win this one!

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
All I can say about your post, is that we don't have the pass rush youre looking for to attack Manning with as of last week. HOWEVER, watching Chris Long progress weekly, I can see him possibly getting his first sack this weekend. If he was capable of getting close to McNabb, I believe this is the week he gets his first recorded sack in the NFL. I'm excited.
I believe the offensive line will step up. They better. This game really matters to them and us fans. I wore my Holt jersey and was criticized at work, but do I care? No. Real fans never give up!!!

Re: Believe it or not, i think we will win this week
Ram faithful..its simple. All we have to do to win this game is score touchdowns, tackle like pros, stop the run, play good special teams, pressure the qb, protect bulger, play with enthusiasm and be physical......Humm we havent done any of those in a while.....MY HEART SAYS THIS WILL BE THE GAME.......lol....

Ctesiphon (Parthian Tyspwn): ancient city on the Tigris, founded by the Parthians. The city was the capital of the Parthian and the Sasanian empires.
At the end of the fourth century, king Seleucus I Nicator, the successor of Alexander the Great and founder of the Seleucid empire, built Seleucia on the bank opposite Opis. From now on, Opis was a mere suburb. Several sources mention that in the first century, Greek and native inhabitants were still recognizable and had institutions of their own. The Parthians, who took over the country in the second century BCE, had hardly any cultural influence.
However, the Parthians needed a western capital, and therefore, they moved the goverment center from Seleucia to the eastern bank, and renamed ancient Opis Tyspwn or Ctesiphon. (Alternatively, the city was found near Opis.) It served as winter residence of the kings after 129 BCE. It is not clear when Ctesiphon became the most important city in the Parthian empire, but what is reasonably clear is that the spoils of a large campaign against the Roman empire in 41 BCE were invested in the new capital, which became one of the greatest cities in the ancient world.
The city became even more important after a rebellion of Seleucia against king Vardanes, which ended in 43 CE. The Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus calls Vardanes the founder of Ctesiphon (Roman History, 23.6.23), which suggests that he did something to improve the status of this city. A generation later, king Pacorus is said to have increased its inhabitants and built its walls.Ctesiphon measured 30 square kilometers (cf. the 13.7 square kilometers of imperial Rome).
In the second century CE, the large city became the natural target for Roman aggression, because the Romans thought that the capture of the Parthian capital would inevitably result in the fall of the eastern empire. In 116, 165, and 198, the emperors Trajan, Lucius Verus (or: to be more precise: his general Avidius Cassius), and Septimius Severus took Seleucia and Ctesiphon. But the Parthian state was organized in a very loose fashion, which gave it a certain resilience.However, in the long run, the capture by Septimius Severus had a disastrous result. According to a modern estimate, the Romans took away so much gold and silver that they were able to postpone a European economic crisis for three or four decades, and we can imagine the consequences for the Parthians. Their empire was seriously weakened and in 224, the Persian vassal king Ardašir revolted. Two years later, he took Ctesiphon, and this time, it meant the end of Parthia. It also marked the beginning of the second Persian empire, ruled by the Sasanian kings.
Although Ctesiphon, rebuilt after c.230 as a large, round city, was the capital of the Sasanian empire, Seleucia was not forgotten; it was renamed Veh-Ardašir ("the good city of Ardašir"). The cities remained a military target. In 238, he Roman emperor Gordian III wanted to capture Ctesiphon in order to prevent the new Sasanian empire from becoming too powerful, but was murdered before he reached his goal. Odaenathus of Palmyra was more successful in 262, and so was the emperor Carus, who took the city in 283. But when Julian the Apostate wanted to do the same thing, he was defeated and killed in action (363).
In the fifth century, Ctesiphon became a very important center of Nestorianism, a Christian church that disagrees with the western churches about the nature of Christ. Missionaries from Ctesiphon christianized many people along the Silk road, e.g., at Rhagae and Maracanda, and in Margiana and Aria. In 635, the first Christians reached China. The fifth century also witnessed how the Tigris changed its course: it went through the round city, which was now partly on the same bank as Seleucia. In the eastern half, one could find palaces and the mansions of the rich people. The city probably had no fire temple.In 540, the Sasanian king Khusrau I conquered the capital of Roman Syria, Antioch. The inhabitants were deported and settled in a new city near Ctesiphon and Veh-Ardašir, which was called Khusrau's Antioch. There were perhaps four comparable settlements. As a consequence, the Arabs started to call the place Al-Mada'in, "the cities".
In 637, the Muslims took and looted Ctesiphon and the other cities. This was the beginning of their conquest of Mesopotamia. In 762, they built a new government center, 35 kilometers upstream: Baghdad.

Deviations of Lambert-Beer's law affect corneal refractive parameters after refractive surgery
Optics Express, Vol. 14, Issue 12, pp. 5411-5417 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (140 KB)
We calculate whether deviations of Lambert-Beer's law, which regulates depth ablation during corneal ablation, significantly influence corneal refractive parameters after refractive surgery and whether they influence visual performance. For this, we compute a point-to-point correction on the cornea while assuming a non-linear (including a quadratic term) fit for depth ablation. Post-surgical equations for refractive parameters using a non-linear fit show significant differences with respect to parameters obtained from a linear fit (Lambert-Beer's law). Differences were also significant for corneal aberrations. These results show that corneal-ablation algorithms should include analytical information on deviations from Lambert-Beer's law for achieving an accurate eye correction

Yi Finally Signs with Bucks
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
7 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Glad the bucks finally got him to sign, if would have just caused more drama with the chinese govt. Now to see if this guy can ball or is just a bust.
should this be in the trades section?
Well one thing is for certain, he'll be getting a whole lotta playing time now. It'll be interesting to see what they do with CV...they've got a loaded frontline and he was injured alot last season, possible midseason trade in the making? Maybe we should be there to pinch him if his trade value drops and becomes available...
The Bucks do have a fairly loaded frontline but however goes to the bench, Yi or Villa, will be getting a raw deal. I'd like to try to get Villa and maybe the expiring contracts of Pietrus and Jask would do it
migya make the ring fall on ya |
No way CV plays more time than Yi now...they've invested way to much in Yi now to see him fail. They have to give him playing time and let him develop, which will be interesting after the pathetic season the Bucks just had. Now that they're healthy I think people expect them to be a .500 team or there abouts, but with Yi making inevitable rookie mistakes it will be interesting to see how they go and what the fan reaction is. Maybe CV can become first man off the bench now that Patterson has gone to the clippers? Otherwise I just don't see him getting the playing time he needs as Bogut is a lock as starting centre now and Yi is a huge investment.
Could well be but they were really high on Villa. Either one being 6th man would be alright but if Mullin is smart, he'd call up the Bucks and see if they would bite on a Pietrus and Jask for Villa trade. The Bucks would get salary relief next offseason with Jask's contract and if they don't want to keep Pietrus, he expires as well but he would be good in a 6th man role
migya make the ring fall on ya |
I'm pretty sure Villa will start and they'll play Yi from the bench this year. He's not ready for the NBA yet.
Also, I think Yi will play as many minutes at SF as at PF. I don't see a problem playing both Villa and Yi. |

As the emphasis on municipal solid waste management moves from disposal to recovery the need for information on the physical and chemical composition of the waste also increases. Data on the chemical composition of waste are very limited, but comparison of a number of European studies generally shows good agreement. In a case study, information on the quantities of waste produced in Cardiff was combined with UK data on waste composition to identify the parts of the waste stream and the materials where the potential pollutants are concentrated. The effect of increased levels of recycling and incineration were also considered. This showed that the fuel properties of the incinerator feedstock were unaffected by the recycling and composting operations. Lead and cadmium in the waste tended to be concentrated in the incinerator feedstock where they would be captured by the flue gas treatment system and isolated from the environment in secure landfill sites.
