"Master! What are you doing? Have you forgotten your code master? Please, That's wrong, dead wrong... now I understand why you couldn't ride your cloud." |
Turtle (ウミガメ) is Master Roshi's friend and long-time companion. The good-natured, lovable turtle lives in Kame House with the elderly hermit.
Dragon Ball
Meeting Goku & Bulma
Main article: Emperor Pilaf Saga
After a year of being lost while picking mushrooms, Turtle ended up in Skull Valley one morning where he met Goku and was almost mistaken for a rock. After Bulma gave him some sea water, Goku decided to take Turtle 100 miles on his back to return him to the sea. On the way he was going to be eaten by a Bear Thief but Goku defeated him very easily and continued on their way. When he got brought back, he went back to Kame House to get his owner, Master Roshi who rewarded Goku with the Flying Nimbus and Bulma with the three star Dragon Ball. Turtle saw Goku again when he came with Chi-Chi to retrieve the Bansho Fan from Roshi but Turtle reminded Roshi that he accidentally threw it out and Roshi had to go and put the flames out himself. While Roshi trained Goku and Krillin, Turtle went on vacation.
Returning from Vacation & Red Ribbon Army
Main articles: General Blue Saga and Commander Red Saga
When Turtle returned from his vacation, Goku and Bulma were at Kame House awaiting a submarine that Krillin and Launch were currently using. Turtle was reunited with his lost son when Goku was catching fish during his wait.
Shortly after Goku, Bulma and Krillin left, Captain Dark and his men come and try to take over the island. Turtle helps defeating them by making Launch sneeze and turn into her bad form, allowing her to defeat a muscular soldier who was going to shoot her. When Goku, Bulma and Krillin return, Launch's bad form steals the diamond they brought from the Pirate Cave and leaves the island. Soon, General Blue manages to make it on the island and ties everybody up, including Turtle, with magic ropes. Launch's good form comes back and saves the day when she releases Goku and he gets rid of the bomb. Turtle later joins everybody else when they attempt to help Goku fight off the Red Ribbon Army. When the gang gets to the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, the army was already defeated by Goku.
Later, Turtle attends the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament with Launch, Puar, Oolong and Bulma.
Quest for the Bansho Fan
When Goku and Chi-Chi visit Kame House to find info about the Bansho Fan, Turtle reads them how to make it in an old fantasy book written by Master Roshi. When reading, Turtle is seen wearing glasses.
Dragon Ball Z
Saiyan Invasion
Main article: Vegeta Saga
Turtle is seen at Kame House with Bulma, Krillin and Master Roshi when Goku arrives with Gohan. Little Gohan is seen riding on him happily, and witnesses Raditz inform Goku of his past and who he really is, and kidnaps Gohan, but is later defeated by Piccolo and Goku teaming up. A year later, he is seen with everybody else watching the fight against the Saiyans on television.
Garlic Jr. Saga
Main article: Garlic Jr. Saga
In the episode "Krillin's Proposal", Turtle celebrates his 1,000th birthday at Kame House with Roshi, Krillin, Maron, Gohan, Chi-Chi, Ox-King, Bulma, Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong.
Android Saga
Main article: Android Saga
Turtle defends Maron from two males who arrived at Roshi's Island and tried to take advantage of her. Turtle beats both of them up using martial arts. Maron tries to thank him by kissing him but Turtle hides his head in his shell because he doesn't want to be distrusting to Krillin. However, this upsets Maron and she leaves the island, much to Turtle's shock.
Buu Saga
Turtle is seen at Kame House with Master Roshi when Gohan tells Krillin about the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament. It is likely that Turtle was killed when Kid Buu blew up the Earth, but was revived when Dende wished for everyone on Earth to be revived by Porunga. Near the end of the Buu Saga, Turtle appears at Bulma's party. He is later seen at Mr. Satan's party in Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!.
Dragon Ball GT
Turtle is one of the few characters that Goku bids farewell to after departing with Shenron.
Turtle's power level is 0.001 early in Dragon Ball Z, as reveled when Bulma tests Raditz's scouter in the Vegeta Saga. His power level appears to have changed in a later filler episode, in which Turtle easily fends off a pair of young men to protect Maron. Since a human is previously shown to have a power level of 5, it is unlikely that Turtle would be able to defeat two apparently younger and fitter men if his power level were 0.001, meaning that either Turtle trained himself or was not showing his full power when Bulma originally scanned him. The latter possibility means that Turtle might have the ability to lower his power level when not in use. In the Dragon Ball manga (vol.7, p.21), after stating to his troops that Squad B was defeated by an old man (Master Roshi) and a girl (Launch) at Kame House, General Blue says "And they didn't even have to unleash the Turtle!!"

Live-action Movie
Turtle appears in the 1990 Korean adaption, Dragon Ball: Ssawora Son Goku, Igyeora Son Goku. He is not played by an actor but instead a puppet with a voice actor.
Voice actors
- Japanese dub: Daisuke Gōri
- Harmony Gold dub: Dan Woren

- Latin American dub: Herman López
- Brazilian dub: Mario Jorge Montini, César Leitão (episode 139)
- Catalan dub: Josep Maria Portillo
- Goku rescuing Turtle and returning him to the sea is clearly a reference to Urashima Tarō's story (Bulma even makes an in-joke about it).
- In the Japanese version he is called Umigame. An ongoing joke in early Dragon Ball sagas (and in Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!) is for Goku to call him Urigome (lit. "blockhead") by mistake.
- At roughly 1000 years of age, Turtle is actually older than Master Roshi himself.
- In the episode "Krillin's Proposal" in Dragon Ball Z, Turtle celebrates his 1000th birthday. In the final episode of Dragon Ball GT, Turtle makes a comment that some members of his species can live to be 1000 years old and Krillin remarks "You're not even close to that old."
- In the 10th anniversary special, Dragon Ball: The Path to Power, Turtle believes he is a tortoise instead of a sea turtle. He is mistaken since only turtles have flippers, a fact in the special which is pointed out by Bulma.

The business world has experienced an unparalleled evolution in the past few years. Technological advances, in particular the advent of the internet, have created a new social sphere that demands constant and instant access. Twitter, Facebook, instant messaging, Skype, phone lines that page employees when a message is left, and traditional email have produced a public that desires instantaneous communication regardless of time or place.
Companies that began as brick and mortar businesses used to only be available during the traditional 9 to 5 hours, but technological advances and a global economy have spurred a 24/7 accessibility to stay competitive and responsive to this new customer base. As an advertising specialty business, IASpromotes.com has been at the forefront of the social media evolution, utilizing Facebook and Twitter to reach out to clients and connect with new customers. Since 1993, IASpromotes.com has taken advantage of the marketing and business potential of the internet, offering instantaneous access to their custom printed promotional products and customer service representatives.

That's an understatement! I've been bugging Cepstral to do an ARM/Linux version, but it's not likely to happen. The lack of a reasonable sounding TTS engine is one of the few minuses to the plug.

ADAMS Alexander M. Pester, 23, of 18291 Route 189, was arrested Sunday afternoon after he allegedly lost control of his vehicle and became stuck in the snow.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they said they conducted a breath test that determined Mr. Pesters blood alcohol content to be 0.16 percent. Under state law, a BAC of 0.08 percent or more constitutes proof of intoxication.
In addition to the DWI charge, Mr. Pester was charged with driving an unregistered motor vehicle. He was processed at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and released with appearance tickets for Town Court.

I installed a shallow well and and went 18 ft. My pump is pumping a large amount of sand along with the water. I ran for about 15 minutes. Should I continue to run it until clear?? I live at the beach where sand is plentiful. So I don't think I need more in my back yard. Thanks
I'm not a well person (pun intended) but I doubt that the water will ever clear. Your well is shallow in sandy terrain. The sand allows water to flow, but the water will always have sand in it. I really don't have any suggestions to make as to what you can do about it, but perhaps some of the guys that know wells will pick up on this.
Keep pumping. What mesh size is the point? Running a sprinkler system on sandy water is pretty much a no-go these days.
Hi , I am not sure of the size , but it is very fine though. How long should you pump out a driven well. Thanks
Until the sand stops. If it doesn't stop in a couple hours, chances are it's not going to. This is another prime example of someone not doing his homework. At least talk around the neighborhood and see what others have done before putting a pig in a poke. bob...
Hi Thanks for replying. My neighbor has a well 15 ' from mine . She had hers done about 7 years ago. I talked with her before trying the install. She had a well before and it was at 17' , her new well is now at 20'. I will proceed to drive down 3 more feet to see if this clears up the problem. Thanks for looking at this question.
Hi Bob thanks for replying. The screen size is 80. The clerk says that is what is used in Panama City Beach. I have not gone down the extra 3 feet, but I will let you know if it worked . Thanks Andy
I'm not real sure the Clerk knows that much about well drilling all up and down the coast, but an 80 gauze screen is pretty fine. You wouldn't get a lot of water through one. But you should expect at least 5 gpm I would think. bob...

Creative people - need help with colour!!
I am a huge fan of loads of colour in my living space. I've repainted my living area three main colours - blue, green and purple. I have a bookshelf that is against the wall (I've included a pic) and I am trying to decide what colour to make it. It was dark wood, I put a coat of red on some of it ... don't like the red.
I need some suggestions ... I don't really want to do it in one of the three colours, I'm looking for some contrast. Also, I will do stenciling on it, so if you come up with two or more colours, that's fine. Thanks everyone!!!

I'd say black and if you're going to stencil go with white or use a color from the wall. I love it by the way.

Disclaimer: I am not creative
I would do it that blue shade that is between the pink and green colors, with the edges and feet done in black. But I kind of have a bias since I like everything in blue and black, heh. EDIT: Actually I like all of these 'white' suggestions better! Last edited by Syaoransbear; 12-30-2012 at 07:07 PM. |

A Regalian phaser rifle was a rifle-type phaser weapon of Regalian origin. The particle beam fired by the rifle consisted of various shades of purple. According to Data, they were not particularly powerful weapons compared to their Starfleet counterpart.
In 2366, the Gatherers used these rifles in the attack on an away team from the USS Enterprise-D on Gamma Hromi II. (TNG: "The Vengeance Factor")

I'm all for looking for ways to be more environmentally conscious. So when these tips from Pfister (www.pricepfister.com) appeared in my inbox this morning, I couldn't resist sharing them. They're simple ways to conserve water in the home by just making a few changes. An added bonus is they'll help you save money on their utility bills.
Here are the tips from Pfister:
• Installing water efficient faucets can save 2,500 gallons per month.
• Installing water efficient showerheads can save 500-800 gallons per month.
• Fixing leaky faucets or plumbing joints can save 20 gallons per day for every leak stopped.
• Turning off water while brushing your teeth can save 3 gallons each day.
• Shortening showers can save 700 gallons per month for every minute
By switching to water efficient plumbing fixtures, the average household can save $170 every year on its water bill. You can use the EPA water saving calculator (http://www.epa.gov/watersense/calculate_your_water_savings.html) to see how much money you can save each year by changing your faucets and shower heads.

Rates for personal-lines insurance increased 3% in February over the same month in 2012, slightly down from the year-over-year gains in the three months prior, MarketScout said. "The personal-lines market adjusted in February with insurers offering slightly more competitive premiums. This isn't unusual since we are out of the catastrophe season for most parts of the U.S., except for winter storms, of course," said MarketScout CEO Richard Kerr.

You may be able to find a light shampoo but finding a light conditioner is going to be hard because the majority of Dominican's women hair is thick and coarse so the conditioners are thick and designed to give moisture.
I use 10en1 Shampoo and a Conditioner called Emergencia. Both are dominican products but Emergencia is very good for coarse curly (even nappy) hair. I will ask my Dominican stylist in the USA what she would suggest. The Dominican stylists here (in Santiago) use the same thing on everyone. I take my own shampoo and conditioner to the salon and tell them how I want things done because here their focus is not "healthy" hair as long as it "looks" good whereas my stylist in the USA has a focus on healthiness.

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsUnnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Menby Mara Hvistendahl
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize A Slate Best Book of 2011 A Discover Magazine Best Book of 2011 Lianyungang, a booming port city, has China's most extreme gender ratio for children under four: 163 boys for every 100 girls. These numbers don't seem terribly grim, but in ten years, the skewed sex ratio will pose a colossal challenge. By the time those children reach adulthood, their generation will have twenty-four million more men than women. The prognosis for China's neighbors is no less bleak: Asia now has 163 million females "missing" from its population. Gender imbalance reaches far beyond Asia, affecting Georgia, Eastern Europe, and cities in the U.S. where there are significant immigrant populations. The world, therefore, is becoming increasingly male, and this mismatch is likely to create profound social upheaval. Historically, eras in which there have been an excess of men have produced periods of violent conflict and instability. Mara Hvistendahl has written a stunning, impeccably-researched book that does not flinch from examining not only the consequences of the misbegotten policies of sex selection but Western complicity with them. Review:"This extraordinary debut from Mara Hvistendahl, award-winning writer and correspondent for Science magazine, reveals the fascinating yet terrifying state of sex ratio imbalance. Drawing on research and her experience living in China, where the one-child policy still holds sway, Hvistendahl nimbly shifts between quantitative data and ethnographic reports. As brides or prostitutes, women in Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East are still treated as a commodity. With an estimated 160 million females missing from the Asian population, there is the added crisis of 'surplus men,' thus causing 'rampant demographic masculinization,' and carrying with it the possibility of increased social instability and violence. By analyzing sociological trends between affluence and birth, especially amidst the current boom of China and India, and providing sound historical overviews of how cultural traditions and governmental policies have evolved, Hvistendahl reveals the true extent of entrenched ideologies and moreover, the lack of intervention from oblivious officials. Her exposé on prenatal sex selection brims with bold judgments that shed light on a culturally sensitive issue. A definitive text on demographic change and its startling consequences that is both thorough and thoroughly engaging. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Synopsis:A shocking exposé of the causes of Asia's massive gender imbalance and its consequences across the globe About the AuthorMara Hvistendahl's writing has appeared in Harper's, The New Republic, Scientific American, the Financial Times magazine, Popular Science, Foreign Policy, and the Los Angeles Times.

Anisotropic light emissions in luminescent solar concentrators–isotropic systems |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue S3, pp. A485-A493 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1148 KB)
In this paper we develop a model to describe the emission profile from randomly oriented dichroic dye molecules in a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) waveguide as a function of incoming light direction. The resulting emission is non-isotropic, in contradiction to what is used in almost all previous simulations on the performance of LSCs, and helps explain the large surface losses measured in these devices. To achieve more precise LSC performance simulations we suggest that the dichroic nature of the dyes must be included in the future modeling efforts.

Anti-wolf activist charged with elk poaching by Andrew McKean
This reads a little like the crusading family-values Senator who is arrested in a prostitution sting. A breaking story out of central Idaho alleges that an outspoken anti-wolf activist has been charged with poaching a trophy elk.
The Idaho Mountain Express reported Wednesday that Tony Mayer, of Twin Falls, Idaho, co-founder of the graphic, bare-knuckled web site www.SaveElk.com has been charged with taking a trophy bull elk out of season and without a license.
The Express indicated that Mayer allegedly told investigators that he shot the bull with archery equipment on the final day of the archery season in the Alturas Lake Creek drainage of Unit 36, but then returned and killed the bull after the season closed. The complaint against Mayer also indicates that he didn't obtain the proper elk license until well after he killed the bull.
Mayer's web site, which he manages with his brother, protests the introduction of wolves in the Northern Rockies. In part, the web site blames wolves for the drastic decline in elk in many hunting districts in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
Media reports indicate that Mayer intends to fight the poaching charges. Let's hope he's on the right side of the law on this one.

Starts at the top....McNair
So many people are being thrown under the bus with this franchise. Carr, the lame duck QB, Mario Williams, the lame duck draft pick, Kubiak, the lame duck coach. And believe it or not, the fans that are looking so vilified in their reactions on sunday. I for one beleive you have the right to cheer and boo when you want, but the direction should be at upper management first and then down.
I have to applaud Bod McNair for throwing around his monopoly money at overpriced FA's and signing guys to make the franchise look so good on the outside, but one way or the other, through loss of profit or fans, he's going to learn the business is ugly, both on the the field and off. McNair has shown a history so far of going far to please the fans and make the city look good, through the hiring guys that make the franchise look so nice...... Crap! Get the guy that will light a fire, get the guys that will bring fire in the locker room. Get the guys that will ruffle the feathers of a David Carr, or make a statement of the coaching staff not coming to play on Sunday's. Overall, this leads to accountability and competition, and this has not been seen since year one. Face it. Dom Capers, nice guy. Casserly, Nice Guy. Carr, Nice Guy, Mario, Nice Guy. Kubiak, Good ol' hometown nice guy! When are we gonna see some guys with attitude, personality, someone that shows the true side of the fans. Nice off the field, but when you mess up my dreams, I'll mess you up! We saw this on draft day. It was political, even though it was not admitted. Bush would have brought a character outside the organizational standards. Peace, no war! This actually backfired, and we saw the results on Sunday. The fans finally revolted, and the adminstration had to make another PR move and not even allow introductions, for fear they would go off on Carr or Mario! I think once McNair and the front office gets some @$%%, the coaching staff and team will follow. Are there other nice guy owners, yes, but they know what it takes, a mixture of both attitude and good guys in the locker room. It takes holding back the attitude guys so much from the camera, and making the nice guys the face of the organization. Winners know how to delegate authority and lead, but this is showing that even though you have monopoly money, you still can't buy winning team. Bud Adams, even though he s hated in Houston, is a perfect example of how far he will go. On day one, Vince was his guy. He was supposed to play, thrid string QB, by the coaching standards. The organization forced out Billy Volek, brought in the lame duck Kerry Collins, who if your any type of football watcher, knew what was going to happen. VINCE WOULD GET THE JOB! Adams could care less about the backlash, the fans, the coaching staff, he simply said.......WIN with it! He played the entire franchise like a fiddle and got the franchise and fans to believe in his vision, with a mixture of good guys like Vince, and bad characters like PACMAN JONES, who has yet to be suspended, no matter who he slaps, kills, or hurts outside of football. (Anyone see his tirate on his special teams coach behind the bench? I did, I was there, flat out nasty) Haynesworth was on the field! McNair would have released the guy. Now Tennessee is growing back up and the TExans are continuing to grow through growing pangs, do to a dad that wasn't taught to be a father of a franchise. Get with it Bob and the Texans will go as you go!

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
Well, I sent a long email directed to Mr. McNair basically blaming him because he's the person that has hired the people that have messed up this franchise. I don't bame the current coach or front office for how bad we are. More of the blame goes to Charlie Casserly, Dom Capers and Bob MCNair.
BTW I heard the Titans radio broadcast of the VY's winning td, and I just got ticked off againg. More so at how loud the cheering was. I'm pissed, no make that I'm really pissed at the organization. I'm going to complain about them, but they are my team. I can not root against them no matter how pissed I am. |

Maybe Mr. McNair should just take his team and leave town so everyone feels better.

Not being from Texas I don't know how big he really was, but from I read and hear he was considered a state hero almost. I would be upset if this happened to my team as well, so I understand the frustration. |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
It's all on McNair. Since there's no stockholder's meeting I know of, it's up to his backers to vote no confidence. TV money has made owners too safe. He should be run out of town on a rail for his gross mismanagement. It started from day one. He hired Casserly. He chose the name Texans, okay but then he came up with the lame logo (west texas wind blown steer skull anyone). Next he could have hired those old rockers zztop to be the pep band. He could have done a lot more than what he's done. He's got all that TV money so he just plays it safe. And this is what you get. Muzak for a football team. For shame. |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
Like I've said before. I support the decision of going with Mario and see where he has made us better but today's game did away with my Texans in Austin for good. I live in Texas and will not be able to see the Texans.
That is the sad part and you as an owner should've known that would happen. |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
I've had bosses like McNair. They have their minds made up but will humor you for your ideas. They want yes men and if you argue, they get pissed at you. That's what this guy comes across as. The deal with Reggie Bush's agent just seals it for me. He's over his head and is too proud to admit it.
I imagine an interview conversation with Gary Kubiak might have gone like this: "Gary, we have a situation at QB where we are looking at either moving a different direction or extending David Carr. I wonder if he's really had the talent to show what he can do. What do you think Gary?" Well duh, what would you say, Interviewee? |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
and were uppity and all and acted like the Texans had the good fortune to have the opportunity to get a talent like his. But Mario comes down here and says "yes sir Mr McNair", and acts subserviant and all, glad to be alive and have a chance to play in the NFL. Then McNair looked for an excuse to not take Bush, and the deal with Bushs family, the free rent from the agent, etc was that excuse. Can't always play it safe and have everthing your own way - gotta take some chances now and then. They really thought Mario was the safe pick, and he was in McNairs eyes. But maybe at the same time the dumb pick ? |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
McNair has about 700 million reasons to want to call things "his way".. but that doesn't necessarily make things the right way." If McNair looked at the "bottom line".. it might have made sense to keep Carr another year. To get Vince you would have had a LARGE signing bonus..that alone would exceed the money paid to Carr. Then you would had to sign a NFL Caliber back-up QB to come in and run the team for at least 2 years while Vince learned the system. Those two factors would be double the amount needed to pay and keep Carr. I would have never thought Vince could have come in his first season the done as well as he did with a pro system. Dan Reeves was the person who told McNair that the Texans could win with Carr. If you blame McNair for anything, blame him for listening to Reeves. Mario was the cheap and conservative pick. He will be good, but he isn't Vince or Reggie. |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
Anyone who says the team should be run out of town are probably the same idiots who only cheer for a team who is winning. If you want the team gone or the owner then you need to get the F off the board and go join another board because you are not fans and your here just to be negative and whine and complain.
By the way, blaming the owner of a football team makes as much sense as blaming someone for driving to slow and coasing you to speed up around them and getting a ticket. The owner hires a GM and the GM hires staff to put a winning product on the field. The owner is just that the owner, it says nothing about how much knowledge he has about the sport. It only says he has a lot of money and can afford to buy a team. The GM, Coaches and scouting staff is what failed and McNair gave them 4 years to turn it around and nothing happened so he fired them and brought new people in, it is the first year of having to undue all the bad that has happened and you so called fans think it should happen instantly. Well guess what? It does not work that way. Fixing mistakes in sports takes more than one off season. |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
for the record, the notion he's "throwing around money" is not true in a relative sense, as i believe the texans have yet to spend to the cap, unlike scores of other teams' owners do.
and, for those of you who understand accounting 101, the $600 million he put in for the team needs ot be offset by the $400 million+ in value the taxpayers gave him. i know this is difficult for a lot of you, but i assure you it is not difficult for mcnair and his bankers to do. |

Re: Starts at the top....McNair
It would have been a very difficult situation to have both Carr & VY here at the same time, on several levels. And as you say, who would have thought VY could be at this point this early in his career ? Maybe Bud Adams. Gotta give the Budster kudos, he believed in VY when a lot of others didn't ! |

Quotations about Water Related Quotes Swimming Weather Environment Fishing Nature
The tides are in our veins. ~Robinson Jeffers "Take your shoes off," purred the ocean waves. ~Dr. SunWolf, professorsunwolf.com In one drop of water are found all the secrets of the oceans. ~Khalil Gibran If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water. ~Loren Eiseley Boats I see upon the river; Some, so small they look like toys! I can, easily, imagine They are manned by tiny boys. Then, I see the boats that duty Takes far off across the sea; And I send my prayers to Heaven That protected they will be. ~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, "The Picture I See from my Window" (1940s) There is no more thrilling sensation I know of than sailing. It comes as near to flying as man has got to yet—except in dreams. The wings of the rushing wind seem to be bearing you onward, you know not where. You are no longer the slow, plodding, puny thing of clay, creeping tortuously upon the ground; you are a part of Nature! Your heart is throbbing against hers; your limbs grow light! The voices of the air are singing to you. The earth seems far away and little; and the clouds, so close above your head, are brothers, and you stretch your arms to them. ~Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), 1889 Long before we saw the sea, its spray was on our lips, and showered salt rain upon us. ~Charles Dickens, David Copperfield And Thou, vast Ocean! on whose awful face Time's iron feet can print no ruin-trace, By breezes lull'd, or by the storm-blasts driv'n, Thy majesty uplifts the mind to heaven. ~Robert Montgomery, The Omnipresence of the Deity Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think. ~Robert Henri Life is like sea-water; it never gets quite sweet until it is drawn up into heaven. ~J.P. Richter Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries—stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region. Should you ever be athirst in the great American desert, try this experiment, if your caravan happen to be supplied with a metaphysical professor. Yes, as every one knows, meditation and water are wedded for ever. ~Herman Melville, Moby Dick How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is clearly Ocean. ~Arthur C. Clarke Keep your feet on the deck, your hands on the tiller, your eyes on the horizon and your beer in the fridge! ~B.E. Marshall I hate to be near the sea, and to hear it raging and roaring like a wild beast in its den. It puts me in mind of the everlasting efforts of the human mind, struggling to be free and ending just where it began. ~William Hazlitt There is nothing so desperately monotonous as the sea, and I no longer wonder at the cruelty of pirates. ~James Russell Lowell I spin on the circle of wave upon wave of the sea. ~Pablo Neruda The lakes are something which you are unprepared for; they lie up so high, exposed to the light, and the forest is diminished to a fine fringe on their edges, with here and there a blue mountain, like amethyst jewels set around some jewel of the first water, — so anterior, so superior, to all the changes that are to take place on their shores, even now civil and refined, and fair as they can ever be. ~Henry David Thoreau What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery Down through the valley and over the hill, Where the bluebird calls to the whippoorwill; Where the buttercups and the daisies grow, And the Summer breezes, so gently, blow, There is a tiny brook that wends its way As it twists and it turns, where'er it may; And over each glistening stone it brings To us the rippling song that it sings. ~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, "A Spot I Loved" (1940s) The sea is as near as we come to another world. ~Anne Stevenson, "North Sea Off Carnoustie" A person should go out on the water on a fine day to a small distance from a beautiful coast, if he would see Nature really smile. Never does she look so delightful, as when the sun is brightly reflected by the water, while the waves are gently rippling, and the prospect receives life and animation from the glancing transit of an occasional row-boat, and the quieter motion of a few small vessels. But the land must be well in sight; not only for its own sake, but because the immensity and awfulness of a mere sea-view would ill accord with the other parts of the glittering and joyous scene. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827 There is indeed, perhaps, no better way to hold communion with the sea than sitting in the sun on the veranda of a fishermen's cafe. ~Joseph W. Beach He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea. ~George Herbert The sea hath no king but God alone. ~Dante Gabriel Rossetti, The White Ship Upon my soul, this water tastes quite nice. I wonder what vintage now?... It tastes just like the year 1881 tasted. ~G.K. Chesterton, The Flying Inn, 1914 Did you ever feel the tongue dry, the lips parched, and the throat feverish, and then, bringing a goblet filled with pure water to your lips, do you remember the sensation as it trickled over your tongue and gurgled down your throat? Was it not a luxury?... Here is a beverage brewed for us by our Heavenly Father—brewed, too, in beautiful places.... He brews pure water, far away on the mountain top, whose granite peak glitters like gold in the sunlight; away again, on the wide wild sea, where the hurricane howls its mournful melody, and the storm sends back the chorus, sweeping the march of God! ~John Bartholomew Gough, English-born U.S. temperance orator There brews He beautiful water! And beautiful it always is! You see it glistening in the dewdrop; you hear it singing in the summer rain; you see it sparkling in the ice gem when the trees seem loaded with rich jewels!... dancing in the hailstorm, leaping, foaming, dashing...! See how it weaves a golden gauze for the setting sun, and a silvery tissue for the midnight moon! ~John Bartholomew Gough, English-born U.S. temperance orator

Sherman Kent
Sherman Kent (December 6, 1903 – March 11, 1986), was a Yale University history professor who, during World War II and through 17 years of Cold War-era service in the Central Intelligence Agency, pioneered many of the methods of intelligence analysis. He is often described as "the father of intelligence analysis".
Kent was the son of U.S. Congressman William Kent and women's rights activist Elizabeth Thacher Kent. He was a graduate of The Thacher School and Yale University where he studied European history with the intention of spending his career as an academic. After graduating he spent several years teaching and doing research but joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) with the outbreak of the war in Europe.
Sherman Kent first served within the Research and Analysis Branch of the OSS as Chief of the Europe-Africa Division. In this capacity, he oversaw much of the process which would now be considered intelligence preparation of the battlespace in support of planning for Operation Torch, the 1942 Allied invasion of North Africa. (An irreverent wit, Kent once proposed for the heraldic emblem of the often-zany OSS, "A horse's ass rampant on a Boston Social Register").[1]
After a post-war stint at the National War College, he returned to Yale for three years, during which time he penned his classic work, Strategic Intelligence. In November 1950, during the crisis that followed the Chinese Communist incursion in the Korean War, which prompted a build-up and reorganization of the American Intelligence Community, he was called to Washington, DC, to assist Harvard historian William L. Langer, with whom he had worked in OSS, to form a new CIA Office of National Estimates (ONE). He succeeded Langer as chief of ONE in 1952, serving in that position for the next fifteen years under four Directors of Central Intelligence in four presidential administrations.
ONE was "a small organization, consisting of a Board of National Estimates of between five and twelve senior experts, a professional staff of 25-30 regional and functional specialists, and a support staff."[2] Until it was dissolved, six years after Kent's retirement, in a Watergate-era CIA reorganization, ONE prepared more than 1500 speculative National Intelligence Estimates for the President and top foreign policy-makers.
Kent led ONE through years of challenge and crisis, including McCarthy-era accusations against one of Kent's young aides, future presidential advisor William Bundy,[3] and "predictive failures" during the Cuban Missile Crisis[4] and other Cold War "flaps".
Kent's unique and enduring role within the US intelligence community was to formalize analytical "tradecraft" and methodologies, while encouraging creation of a "literature of intelligence" to provide a formal mechanism for the transfer of knowledge and experiences between generations of analysts.
Sherman Kent retired from the CIA in 1967, and died in 1986.
In 2000, CIA established a school in Kent's name dedicated to the pursuit of professionalism in the art and science of intelligence analysis.

An approximate spin design criterion for monoplanes, 1 May 1939
Date: January 1, 1976
Creator: Seidman, O. & Donlan, C. J.
Description: An approximate empirical criterion, based on the projected side area and the mass distribution of the airplane, was formulated. The British results were analyzed and applied to American designs. A simpler design criterion, based solely on the type and the dimensions of the tail, was developed; it is useful in a rapid estimation of whether a new design is likely to comply with the minimum requirements for safety in spinning.

Liquid-in-Glass Thermometry
Date: January 1976
Creator: Wise, Jacquelyn A.
Description: Report containing information of general interest to manufacturers and users of liquid-in-glass thermometers. This report supersedes Monograph 90. Instructions explaining how to submit a thermometer to the National Bureau of Standards for calibration are provided, and the techniques and equipment, such as stirred liquid comparison baths, used in the calibration procedures are described. A discussion of important principles of acceptable thermometer design and factors affecting their use is included. Listed are tables of tolerances reflecting good manufacturing practices and reasonably attainable accuracies expected with liquid-in-glass thermometers. The calculation of corrections for the temperature of the emergent stem is given in detail for various types of thermometers and conditions of use.

Methods of analyzing wind-tunnel data for dynamic flight conditions
Date: January 1, 1976
Creator: Donlan, C. J. & Recant, I. G.
Description: The effects of power on the stability and the control characteristics of an airplane are discussed and methods of analysis are given for evaluating certain dynamic characteristics of the airplane that are not directly discernible from wind tunnel tests alone. Data are presented to show how the characteristics of a model tested in a wind tunnel are affected by power. The response of an airplane to a rolling and a yawing disturbance is discussed, particularly in regard to changes in wing dihedral and fin area. Solutions of the lateral equations of motion are given in a form suitable for direct computations. An approximate formula is developed that permits the rapid estimation of the accelerations produced during pull-up maneuvers involving abrupt elevator deflections.

Spin tests of a low-wing monoplane to investigate scale effect in the model test range, May 1941
Date: January 1, 1976
Creator: Donlan, C. J.
Description: Concurrent tests were performed on a 1/16 and a 1/20 scale model (wing spans of 2.64 and 2.11 ft. respectively) of a modern low wing monoplane in the NACA 15 foot free-spinning wind tunnel. Results are presented in the form of charts that afford a direct comparison between the spins of the two models for a number of different conditions. Qualitatively, the same characteristic effects of control disposition, mass distribution, and dimensional modifications were indicated by both models. Quantitatively, the number of turns for recover and the steady spin parameters, with the exception of the inclination of the wing to the horizontal, were usually in good agreement.
