Justification: This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is very large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. |

Habitat and Ecology: | Behaviour This species is fully migratory and travels on a narrow front (Kear 2005a) between extremely localised breeding and wintering areas (del Hoyo et al. 1992). It is present on its breeding grounds from May or June to August or September (Kear 2005a) where it breeds in small but often closely packed colonies (Madge and Burn 1988, del Hoyo et al. 1992) of 5-50 pairs, occasionally singly or in groups of up to 150 pairs (Snow and Perrins 1998). It uses the same nesting sites year after year (Johnsgard 1978) and sometimes nests among seabird colonies (Madge and Burn 1988). After the young hatch the adults undergo a flightless moult period near the breeding grounds between mid-July and mid-August that lasts for 3-4 weeks (Scott and Rose 1996). The species migrates to autumn staging areas in September (Kear 2005a) from which it travels via regular stop-over sites (Madge and Burn 1988) to the wintering grounds, arriving in late-September (Kear 2005a). The return migration begins in April or May, the species moving to spring staging areas where it may be present for 20-30 days before migrating northwards (Kear 2005a). The species is highly gregarious outside of the breeding season, often feeding in dense concentrations on coastal grasslands during the winter (Madge and Burn 1988). In winter habitats it roosts on water (Madge and Burn 1988) or on sandbanks near saltmarshes and pastureland (Peberdy 1991). Habitat Breeding The species breeds in Arctic semi-desert tundra (fjellmark) (Kear 2005a)on crags, rocky outcrops (del Hoyo et al. 1992), cliffs, rocky slopes (Johnsgard 1978) and coastal islands (Svalbard) (Kear 2005a) near wetlands such as lakes, rivers, marshes, the upper parts of fjords, coastlines (Johnsgard 1978), wet meadows and mudflats (Kear 2005a). In years when the snow is slow to melt the species first forages on grassy vegetation on south-facing mountain slopes fertilised by the droppings of cliff-nesting seabirds before moving down to breeding areas (Kear 2005a). It also returns to these slopes after the moulting period before autumn migration (Kear 2005a). After the young hatch families may disperse away from rocky ground to more vegetated areas surrounding tundra lakes and rivers (Kear 2005a). Non-breeding During the non-breeding season the species frequents tidal mudflats, saltmarshes (Johnsgard 1978, Kear 2005a) and adjacent coastal meadows (Johnsgard 1978, del Hoyo et al. 1992) (especially improvedrough pasturesand arable land (del Hoyo et al. 1992, Kear 2005a)), with agricultural fields becoming increasingly more important as winter feeding areas (Scott and Rose 1996). Diet The species is herbivorous (del Hoyo et al. 1992) its diet consisting of the leaves, stems and seed-heads of grasses, sedges, aquatic plants (del Hoyo et al. 1992, Kear 2005a), mosses (Kear 2005a), various herbs (especially white clover Trifolium repens in the winter) (Peberdy 1991, Vickery and Gill 1999) and shrubs (e.g. arctic willow Salix arctica) (Johnsgard 1978). It may also take agricultural grain and vegetables during the winter (del Hoyo et al. 1992). Breeding site The nest is a shallow depression in a low mound of vegetation (Snow and Perrins 1998) positioned on rocky ground (del Hoyo et al. 1992, Kear 2005a), rocky outcrops (Johnsgard 1978, Snow and Perrins 1998), among rocky crags, on steep cliffs (Johnsgard 1978, Madge and Burn 1988, Snow and Perrins 1998), on the tops of low hills (Johnsgard 1978), or on low vegetation hummocks and snow-free patches on islands in river channels (Snow and Perrins 1998). Nesting sites accumulate nesting materials as they are often used year after year (Johnsgard 1978), and the species may sometimes nest among seabird colonies (Madge and Burn 1988). Management information An investigation carried out in one of the species's wintering areas (UK) found that it was most likely to forage on improved grasslands with high abundances of the grass Lolium perenne and white clover Trifolium repens (Vickery and Gill 1999) (the growth of which is greatly influenced by the amount of summer grazing, which controls the grass height) (Peberdy 1991). Preferred fields were between 4 and 10 ha in area (the species avoided fields of less than 2-3 ha), and at an optimal distance of less than 5 km away from roosting sites (maximum 7 km away) (Vickery and Gill 1999). The species was also found to show a preference for grasslands with swards less than 10 cm in height (optimum 2 cm) in fields that had been cut for silage and then grazed (although there was no major difference in feeding intensity on pastures grazed with different livestock) (Vickery and Gill 1999). Overall winter use of grassland fertilised with large amounts of nitrogen was significantly greater than the use of unfertilised grassland by the species (Vickery and Gill 1999). The Barnacle Goose Management Scheme (BGMS) in Scotland, UK recommends fertilising farmland adjacent to reserves containing wintering groups of this species at times when geese are present (e.g. autumn or winter) and grazing stock (sheep or cattle) are absent (Cope et al. 2003). The BGMS also awards payments to farmers who manage pastures outside of established reserves for reducing the level of disturbance (e.g. scaring away feeding flocks) on their land (Cope et al. 2003). |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater; Marine |
Major Threat(s): | Today the species is fully protected throughout its range, although adults, eggs and down were once exploited by humans (Kear 2005a), and the species may be disturbed by shooting even though it is not directly hunted (Peberdy 1991). The species faces possible threats from persecution (disturbance) by farmers as in winter it favours grasslands and pastures used for grazing livestock (Cope et al. 2003). The species also suffers from nest predation by arctic fox Vulpes lagopus in Svalbard (Madsen et al. 1992). |

A wild song appears!
Here's a looped segment of a song i'm working on. Because NG loves loops.
Follow me on facebook and soundcloud and youtube and all that jazz!

I can't get enough of the fluid, pitch-bending synths on the second part of the chorus. The sound is amazing and it's a great contrast from the solid, non-bending notes. Even if I'm just passively listening to this song, I still feel the beats and the chorus. The melody sounds pretty classical too, but that may just be me. Awesome job, as usual.

New York JFK - Los Angeles I recently took a trip to Los Angeles and San Francisco and my only option was to fly American Airlines in business class because my dad has thousands of miles and he wouldn't have to pay that much. I got to Terminal 9 around 10:00am for the 12:00PM flight to Los Angeles. Check in was easy at the first class desk and I headed through secruity in no time. Since I have no Admirals Club pass I headed directly to the gate. The gate was 44 and the aircraft had not even arrived.

Anogeissus is a genus of trees native to South Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, and Africa, belonging to family Combretaceae. The genus has eight species, five native to South Asia, two endemic to the southern Arabian Peninsula, and one native to Africa. Anogeissus latifolia, known as dhaora, is one of the most useful trees in India. Its leaves contain large amounts of tannin, and are used in India for tanning. The tree is the source of Indian gum, also known as ghatti gum, which is used for calico printing among other uses. A. pendula, known as kardhai or dhok, is common in the Kathiarbar-Gir dry deciduous forests of western India, where it often forms pure stands in the rocky ridges of the Aravalli Range. A. leiocarpus is found in Africa from northeastern Ethiopia to Senegal, and its bark is used to produce Anogelline, a substance used in cosmetics. A. dhofarica and A. bentii are endemic to the woodlands of the southern Arabian Peninsula.

How to assess post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia by means of laser Doppler perfusion monitoring: Application of a standardised protocol to patients with peripheral arterial obstructive disease
Morales, Fernando and Graaff, Reindert and Smit, Andries J. and Bertuglia, Silvia and Petoukhova, Anna L. and Steenbergen, Wiendelt and Leger, Philippe and Rakhorst, Gerhard (2005) How to assess post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia by means of laser Doppler perfusion monitoring: Application of a standardised protocol to patients with peripheral arterial obstructive disease.

Abstract: | The standardisation of manoeuvres to perform clinically discriminative microvascular flow reserve tests is still poorly developed, as well as the response analysis. The aim of this study was to establish a reproducible analysis method for the post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH) test measured using laser Doppler perfusion monitoring (LDPM). LDPM data were measured from the PORH response of 24 Fontaine class II–III peripheral atherosclerotic/arterial obstructive disease (PAOD) patients and 30 healthy subjects. The PORH response was recorded from the dorsum of the foot after 3 min of arterial occlusion at the thigh. The resulting tracings were analysed by describing their morphology through five defined parameters: resting flux (RF), time to RF level (tRF), maximum flux (MF) during reactive hyperaemia, time to maximum flux (tMF), and time to half recovery (tHR). While the time parameters were discriminative between patients and controls, flux parameters were not. The time to resting flux (tRF) led to the most discriminative model that correctly predicted 88.5% of the cases. Hence, we concluded that obtaining tRF with the presented procedures provides an optimal model to quantify the patient's microvascular condition from the PORH response |

C' hanno portato prima in un ripostiglio dicendoci che era la camera riservata, avevano in mano un altra chiave di una camera un po più decente chiedendoci un supplemento, chiaramente abbiamo accettato, Albergo vecchio, cassetta WC gocciolante tutta la notte. La collazione molto povera abbiamo chiesto un altro caffè ci viene addebitato. Albergo da evitare!!! They bring us in a closet telling: that was the room we reserved, At same time they shaw us a nother room a bit more decent asking a supplement, of course we accepted, Old hotel, cassette toilet dripping all night. The breakfast very poor we asked another coffee we will be charged. Hotel to avoid !!! ...

Rooms are clean but basic and quite small and many are dark. Public spaces are a bit shabby. Location is about five minutes walk to Termini, which is convenient, but a bit too far to carry suitcases so you will end up needing a taxi. Staff was friendly and helpful.
April 30, 2013
Hotel is walking distance to Termini Station, a good location to get a ride to Vatican City, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Coliseum and other historical places. There are a lot of good restaurants in the area and price is very reasonable. We will not return to Hotel Rex, we didn't get the value of what we paid. My wife had a back ache every morning because of their old bed. We didn't complain because we don't have any choice and we need a place to stay on our anniversary vacation. We will go back to Italy, but will not go back to the same hotel. ...

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass."Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint."I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough."But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears."I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears."If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God."Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."Author Unknown

A Walmart Neighborhood Market store in the Ridge Plaza shopping center, at Ridge and Little roads, is on the drawing board.
The smaller Walmart would encompass roughly 42,000 square feet, according to the site plan filed with Pasco County. That�s less than half the space of its big-brother Supercenter stores in Port Richey, Hudson and the Trinity area.
The county received the Walmart site plan May 3 and will accept comments through June 17, Pasco Zoning Administrator Carol Clarke said.
The addition of a Walmart and exterior renovations along the southern strip of stores could spur more customers to shop there, developers believe.
Ridge Plaza includes some large chains, such as Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Shapes, Dollar General and the Sioux City restaurant.
The Walmart store logo already appears on an online brochure from Benderson Development, based in University Park, Fla.
The brochure cites average traffic counts of 39,000 a day on Little Road and 26,000 along that section of Ridge Road. Other demographics include 60,041 residents within three miles, average household income of $45,464 and five-year growth projections of 13 percent.
�Ridge Road is the most heavily traveled thoroughfare in Pasco County,� a blurb reads on the Ridge Plaza page of the Benderson website. The road intercepts traffic from Gulf View Square mall along U.S. 19 and Pasco-Hernando Community College�s West Campus to the east.
If constructed, the new Walmart would occupy much of the space along the northern edge of the shopping center, which is dotted with vacant storefronts. The Walmart site plan includes some demolition.
On Sept. 11, 2004, an Eckerd drug store closed in Ridge Plaza as part of consolidation after the Eckerd buyout by CVS. The building, bordering Little Road at the northernmost entrance, has remained mostly unoccupied ever since.
CVS executives had decided against rebranding the Eckerd location in Ridge Plaza because it was close to the existing CVS store at 7120 Ridge Road.

Oh... Good choice, but that one I'd have to leave up to another. Cheers is next on my list of "past series" to watch, but I haven't seen it in years. I'd do better with something along the lines of more serious television. I missed all the basic "sitcoms" everyone raves about (Friends, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Two and a Half Men, etc...) I'm the kind of person who'd rather listen to a comedian perform that to watch a "situational" comedy that presents situations that would never happen to the common person. I think the last one I actually sought out was Big Bang Theory and even that wore thin by the 2nd or 3rd season...
What I want is for someone to do... Nevermind, I'll just make it a thread.

A comfy pink armchair paired with floral curtains gives this traditional girl's bedroom a youthful look and creates the perfect space for a tween girl to study.
Two large white desks pushed back to back create a large work surface in this tween girls' pink study room.
In the midst of so much pink and purple, the chandelier becomes a nice focal point and makes the room seem more grown up.
Creative thinking makes this boys bedroom fun and stylish! Painted in a pale olive green, the walls feature two vinyl decals above the headboard. Striped throw pillows tie in the dark brown wall art.
A little color goes a long way in this girl's bedroom, where pale blue walls and white accents create a formal, dignified air. A small white desk and Louis XVI chair sits next to the window with sheer white curtains and a billowing blue valance.
While more expensive than wire racks, laminate or wood closet organizers are aesthetically pleasing and available in a variety of finishes. In this boy's nursery by ClosetMaid, white laminate shelves and drawers complement the room's color scheme and provide plenty of storage space for diapers, bottles and other necessities.
Bunk beds save room for a drum set in this boys' bedroom. The night-sky ceiling mural brings a camp feel to the space, while a mobile toy chest sits at the foot of the bunk beds.
A daybed with trundle is a smart option for a small space girl's room since it takes up less room, but also provides an extra bed for sleepovers. A trio of artwork above the bed adds a punch of color to the light pink room.
This bedroom features a car theme, including a painted mural of two race cars, a painting of a red car, car-themed bed linens and a car-themed clock. Above the bed, red letters are used to spell the boy's name.
This burlap tent, sitting atop a pastel braided rug, makes the perfect play space for this little girl's room. A cute basket provides storage for toys and continues the room's pink and aqua color palette.
This boy's room features unconventional repurposed furnishings. A trunk is turned on its side for a nightstand, and a hanging bamboo window treatment acts as a headboard. Meanwhile, a twin bed rests on a chest of drawers, providing optimal storage.
This girls bedroom is an elegant space filled with traditional decor fit for a princess with yellow walls, pink upholstered headboards, blue throw pillows and chandelier.
This classic white kid's room is based on the nursery rhyme Peter Rabbit. The fabrics, paint colors and accessories reinforce this fanciful theme. White built-in shelving provides ample storage for books and toys.
The walls of this boy's bedroom gradate from darkest to lightest on the top by the ceiling to create the illusion of height. A traditional desk provides a place to do homework while a dramatic star-shaped chandelier illuminates the space.
This traditional cream and green girl's room features a designated dress up corner that displays cute, colorful costumes and outfits for playtime. The custom shelf/coat rack combo adds extra storage for toys and provides visual interest to this corner of the room.
The homeowners' two young girls requested "pink" and "sparkly," and this room delivers. Using a darker shade of pink on the ceiling, a mature print on the roman shades and an Art Deco inspired chandelier meets the girls' desires while keeping the room from feeling too juvenile. Carpet tiles are durable and easy-to-clean, making them a perfect choice in a kid's room.
A window seat and built-in white shelving pop against blue walls in this fab kid's room. Gray and white striped fabric for pillows and cushions is combined with orange to keep the space feeling fun and youthful.
The kid's bedroom in HGTV Dream Home 2014 features a red-and-white striped rug that adds a playful touch to the traditional room.

LOOL Liverpool.
We don't ignore places that beat us at football. If we did then Euro 2012 didn't have a semi or a final and we kept that Euro thread until it finished.
He's on about the places that rename Association football because they think they have the true version of football. (Pointing at you Ireland, America and Aussieland with 3 different sports.)
Well that was shite but pretty much sums up our season as a whole. Plenty of possession and chances but no conversion. Relying too much upon Suarez, I'd still like another decent striker or two to cover injuries. (not Borini!)
Fair play to Baggies though if we were going to lose to a team twice I'd rather it be them than anyone. My second team.
Is there more scummier fans in England?

The current MILF craze continues with this fine — and lengthy — release featuring older women and younger dudes.

From the Publisher
"... the element which gives the greatest value to this book is the outstanding analysis of the existing weaknesses of the combined UN - Law of the Sea system with respect to the peace support action within the territorial sea of a state. McLaughlin attempts to create a much needed model to overcome the many difficulties associated with establishing legal order in the territorial sea - a courageous task indeed. With his work, McLaughlin has certainly established himself as an authoritative voice on the subject and is ushering in further essential discussion on the topic."Gianmatteo Breda (Commander, Italian Navy), Revue de droit militaire et de droit de la guerre/Military Law and the Law of War Review 49/3-4 (2010).
"This book is an intelligent, well written discussion of the intersection between the UN Charter and the LOSC in the context of UN naval peace operations in the territorial sea. (...)The extent of McLaughlin's research and theoretical exploration as well as his careful elaboration of alternative perspectives make this a useful addition to any institutional or personal library in the area of UN operations and the LOSC."
Joanna Mossop, Senior Lecturer, Law Faculty, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand and Australian Armed Forces Law Review, Vol 10 & 11, 2010-11.

Revell Books
Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
Oxford, England
February, 1814
I can abide neither a liar nor a cheat, but you may be wont to think me such while I here relate my little tale. Were I not your humble narrator, even now I would scarce believe it anything but mere fiction. I take pen in resolute hand to assure you that what I am about to recount is truth, not the least of which involves heartbreak, joy, a Chinese translation of the Gospel According to St. Luke, and, oh yes, a rather large sword.
Perhaps it is best that I start where my journey of a thousand miles began, not with a single step but with the dearest pair of pink silk slippers.
Soft as rose petals they were and embroidered with a bit of curious white design on the toes. They looked quite lovely peeping from beneath my new white muslin dress with a pink ribbon encircling just below . . . oh dear, let me simply say high above my waist. My modiste assured me the dress was the finest in the county and that during the party no one would be my peer.
I was, after all, preparing for social battle. "This dress will accomplish the task," I said, twirling on the stool set in front of the mirror. "You do me proud, Flora."
My modiste tugged on the hem to allay my motion. She looked up from where she knelt before my stool, mouth full of pins. "I do not know why you asked me to stitch this in such a hurry. If you do not cease your movements, Miss Isabella," she mumbled, "'twill not be finished in time for the Ransoms' party tonight. Be still, child."
"Child?" I laughed. "I have five and twenty years, as well you know, and you have been with me for all of them."
Flora removed the pins from her mouth to permit an angelic smile. "And now the only child in attendance is when little Lewis visits with Frederica."
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Would I never cease hearing about my older sister's child? My nephew was a creation of God, indeed, but he was also quite possibly the most disagreeable baby upon which I had ever set eyes. Not only did he wail piteously whenever I attempted to hold him, but he also possessed some rather curious physical traits. It had been my limited experience that most babies lose the red, wrinkled skin and expression so common to them (and their mothers!) soon after birth. But this child—pronounced hale and hearty by the doctor—persisted in retaining the most distressingly mottled skin and ungainly form.
Shall I describe the child's face? In deference to his mother, I think not.
"You are far behind your sister. She already has a babe, yet you do not even have a husband."
Touché. The battle had already begun, and with Flora, no less! She had long been concerned with my future, since my mother and father passed away soon after my birth. A distant relative hired to care for Frederica and me, Louisa Florey had served as our nursemaid, governess, modiste, and confidante. "Miss Florey" had been shortened to Flora long ago.
Now that Freddie was happily wed, Flora had turned her attention fully to me. She often suggested particular young men in Oxford as potential husbands, never even attempting to cloak her matchmaking as idle speculation. Fortunately, I had learned to overlook her plainspokenness, for its source was always love.
"No one is more aware of my solitude, thank you," I said. "But I am not yet past hope of being wed." I would be happy with even a disagreeable baby . . .
Readjusting her position, Flora bumped against the stool, scattering the pins. "Only see what I have done!" She got down on her hands and knees, sighing. "That is probably my punishment for my insensitive words," she mumbled to herself as she hunted near the mirror and around the stool. "It is quite one thing for me to be a spinster, but you . . ." She looked up and smiled, determined to soften her words. "It is as you say, dear Miss Isabella. You are not yet past hope."
I smiled. "Then this should please you. Catherine Ransom told me there would be an extra guest tonight." I paused for best effect. "A male guest."
"So that was the reason for a new gown. And now, I suppose, that you with your spontaneous notions have already begun to contemplate the wedding."
In truth I had pictured myself standing beside an elegant groom at Christ Church's chapel, but I feigned shock. "Why, Flora! I only wanted a chance to show off your beautiful handiwork."
"Pah. It is my French blood. Only the French know how to sew a proper fashion."
"You are but one-quarter French, I believe."
She let out a dolorous sigh. "To think what fame could be mine if my ancestors had taken more care with my lineage."
I smiled and slipped an arm around her shoulder. "Were Napoleon himself your father, you could not be a better seamstress."
"Were Napoleon my father, I would refer to myself as fully British," she said. "Let us pray then that my work shows off to your advantage tonight. Do you like the new slippers?"
I wiggled my toes happily. I had small, delicate feet, about which I confess to an equally small, delicate vanity.
"They are beautiful, Flora, and the fit most comfortable. Not like that last pair that pinched to no end."
"That is peculiar, for the shoemaker used the very same pattern for this pair." Flora brightened. "Perhaps it is a difference in the silk. When I inquired after his best fabric, he made sure that no one was watching, then he drew out a small bolt of this pink silk. 'Newly arrived from the Orient,' he said. 'It put me right in mind of your Isabella Goodrich, and no one else should have it,' he said. Then, when the slippers were finished, I saw that his wife had added the embroidery. I could not bear to refuse to pay, because the poor woman is near blindness. The white stitching does look lovely . . . though a trifle peculiar."
I bent to stroke one of the slippers and felt an odd little thrill. The design on the toes must be some sort of Chinese symbol, then, if the fabric was Oriental silk. I could envision Solomon's wife painstakingly copying the patterns, and I was touched by her efforts. "Did he say why he thought of me, in particular?"
Flora shrugged. "I never know why old Solomon says what he does. One cannot trust everything he says. After all, he is not French, for all that he tries to fashion shoes." I covered a smile.
"Did Catherine Ransom say anything about this mysterious stranger that is to visit tonight?" Flora said.
I shook my head, and she sniffed. "Thankfully she is already married, though I would not put it past her to steal this man's attention too."
"Flora! She is a lady, after all. As well as my friend."
She sighed. "I am sorry to speak of it, Miss Isabella, but she is no friend to you. I cannot find it in my heart to forgive her. Or Mr. David." She waggled her finger in my direction. "And I do not doubt for one moment that Catherine Ransom has some other mischievous plan tonight. It is far too suspicious that she would advise you about a male visitor to tonight's party—she who has never had your interests at heart!"
Studying the mirror, I adjusted a dark ringlet at my cheek.
"She wants only to pair me for the evening with someone suitable. Is that implausible?"
Flora's reflection scowled at mine.
"Very well," I said, turning to face her. "I will be en guard tonight against Catherine Ransom and her wiles."
Flora cocked her head. "Truly? Do you pledge it?"
"I do," I said firmly, with the certainty that one day soon—surely!—I would be repeating that expression in the matrimonial setting for which it was properly intended.

Sport Haley Mens Honeycomb Pique Performance Polos
Better fit available from other golf shirt makers
This is the first shirt I had purchased from the Sport Haley brand. The polo shirt was "OK" as to color, fabric, and style. However, while the shirt fit in the upper body (a size "large" was ordered), the "tails" were too long, to the point where they would almost hang down beyond the bottom hem on a pair of shorts. Thus, the item was returned. Having purchased polo shirts from other manufacturers, I would suggest looking at other brands, if fit is an issue.
July 28, 2014
Very nice shirt for the price
Fit very well - nice material. Could be worn for golf or just casual dress.
March 6, 2014
bought shirt for brother in law and he loved it. Comfortable and liked the color and fit. Wanted to buy others so he was glad he received a catalog in the box it came in.
December 27, 2013
Good Product
Good product even better on sale. Looks and feels good.

This was a help for the Tidepool, Linwood Bar and the Sea Parrot Ice Cream Shop who all offered food and were quite busy with all the people who attended our fun Fourth. Unfortunately, there was only one food booth this year and one of our restaurants, The Mad Fish, was unable to open this year due to family illness. We missed them but all the other fine folk and other business owners handled it in a fine manner. Thanks to DeeDee Higman for another great day.

BOSTON — A judge has rejected a request from lawyers for James "Whitey" Bulger to suspend his racketeering trial for two days so they can have more time to prepare for prosecution witnesses.
The defense sought the delay Thursday to prepare for upcoming forensic experts. Attorney J.W. Carney Jr. argued there is a large volume of documents to review and said the 83-year-old Bulger is exhausted.
Prosecutor Zack Hafer objected to the delay, saying Bulger "had 16 years to relax in California" while he was a fugitive.
Bulger is charged with having a role in 19 killings during the 1970s and '80s while he allegedly led the Winter Hill Gang and served as an FBI informant. He has pleaded not guilty.
Bulger fled ahead of a 1995 indictment and wasn't captured until 2011.

Tin Roof
I've always been enamored by the idea of traditional anniversary gifts. One is paper, two is cotton, five is wood, seven is wool…. And if you take an additive approach, then every anniversary can be a knitted (or knitting) gift: silk + wool = 19, wool + wood + paper + paper (yarn, needles, and a two-page pattern?) = 14, and so on. The traditional gift for the tenth anniversary is tin. Hmmm.
Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it. Corrugated metal, manhole covers, and diamond-stamped metal plates started jumping out at me and their textures and repetitive patterns seemed natural to knitting.
So this scarf, knit in a yarn with a metal component that gives it a unique form and structure, with a stitch pattern inspired by stamped and corrugated metal, is my 10th anniversary gift to Knitty. Here's to many happy returns of the day!
And just so you know--thirteen is lace.

Comprehensive Description
Assassin Bugs are medium-sized insects. They have an oval-shaped abdominal area, over which is superimposed overlapping wings that create the appearance of an "X" on the back. They are variously colored, and have a small narrow head that projects outward from the body. The front two pairs of legs are longer and more powerful than the hind legs: they are used to grab and hold insect prey. Assassin bugs actively hunt and feed on a variety of insects, sucking out their bodily juices. They occasionally lurk near flowers to feed on bees and other insects.

Functional Adaptations
Functional adaptation
The antennae of Rhodnius bugs detect heat from their potential victims using numerous sensitive, hairlike thermoreceptors.
"Rhodnius bugs are large, blood-sucking insects found throughout the Americas. They live in close proximity to their victims, in nests or burrows, and detect potential victims -- small, warm-blooded creatures such as mice -- by sensing their body heat. A Rhodnius bug has its own built-in thermometers on its antennae in the form of numerous exceedingly sensitive hairlike thermoreceptors, which can detect air that has been warmed by its prey's body heat."

The Reduviidae are a large cosmopolitan family of the order of "true bugs" or Hemiptera. They are slightly unusual among the Hemiptera because almost all are terrestrial ambush predators (most other predatory Hemiptera are aquatic). The main examples of non-predatory Reduviidae are some blood-sucking ectoparasites in the subfamily Triatominae. Though there are spectacular exceptions, most members of the family are fairly easily recognisable: they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build and formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a rostrum). Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis.
The family[edit]
The Reduviidae are members of the suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera. The family are almost all predatory, except for a minority that are blood-sucking species of importance as disease vectors. About 7000 species have been described, making it one of the largest families in the Hemiptera.
The name Reduviidae is derived from the type genus, Reduvius. That name in turn comes from the Latin reduvia, meaning "hangnail" or "remnant". Possibly this name was inspired by the lateral flanges on the abdomen of many species.
Among others, the family include the assassin bug genera:
Some genera and subfamilies have more particular common names that are reasonably widely recognised, such as:
- ambush bugs (subfamily Phymatinae)
- thread-legged bugs (subfamily Emesinae, including the genus Emesaya)
- Kissing or cone-headed bugs Triatominae. This subfamily is unusual in that most species are blood-suckers and several are important disease vectors.
- wheel bugs (Arilus cristatus)
Adult insects range from about 4 to 40 mm, depending on the species. They most commonly have an elongated head with a distinct narrowed neck, long legs, and prominent, segmented, tubular mouthparts, most commonly called the proboscis, but some authors use the term "rostrum". Most species are bright in color with hues of brown, black, red, or orange.
The most distinctive feature of the family is that the tip of the rostrum fits into a groove in the prosternum, where it may be used for stridulation by rasping it against ridges in the groove. The structure of ridges is a stridulitrum, or stridulatory organ to produce sound, a tactic often used to discourage predators. If harassment continues, many species can deliver a painful stab with the proboscis, injecting venom or digestive juices. The effects can be intensely painful and the injection from some species may be medically significant.
Predatory Reduviidae use the long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva contains enzymes that predigest the tissues they swallow. This process is generally referred to as extra-oral digestion, or EOD.[2] The saliva is commonly effective at killing prey substantially larger than the bug itself.
The legs of some Reduviidae have areas covered in tiny hairs that aid in holding onto their prey while they feed. Others, members of the subfamily Phymatinae in particular, have forelegs that resemble those of the praying mantis, and they catch and hold their prey in a similar way to mantises.
As nymphs, some species will cover and camouflage themselves with debris or the remains of dead prey insects, which forms a very effective camouflage. The nymphal instars of the species Acanthaspis pedestris present one good example of this behaviour where they occur in Tamil Nadu in India. Another well-known species is Reduvius personatus, known as the masked hunter because of its habit of camouflaging itself with dust. Some species tend to feed on pests such as cockroaches or bedbugs and are accordingly popular in regions where people regard their hunting as beneficial. Reduvius personatus is a case in point, and some people breed them as pets and for pest control. Some assassin bug subfamilies are adapted to hunting certain types of prey. For example, Ectrichodiinae eat millipedes, and feather-legged bugs eat ants. A spectacular example of the latter is Ptilocnemus lemur, an Australian species in which the adult attacks and eats ants, but the nymph waits until the ant bites the feathery tufts on its hind legs, upon which it whips round and pierces the ant's head with its proboscis, and proceeds to feed.[3]
Some research on the nature of the venom from certain Reduviidae is under way. The saliva of Rhynocoris marginatus showed some insecticidal activity in vitro, in tests on lepidopteran pests. The effects included reduction of food consumption, assimilation and utilization. Its anti-aggregation factors also affected the aggregation and mobility of haemocytes.[4]
The saliva of the species Rhynocoris marginatus (Fab.) and Catamirus brevipennis (Servile) have been studied because of their activity against human pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria (including strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium) and the Gram-positive (Streptococcus pyogenes).
Some species are blood suckers rather than predators, and they are accordingly far less welcome to humans. Triatoma species and other members of the subfamily Triatominae, such as Rhodnius species, Panstrongylus megistus and Paratriatoma hirsuta, are known as kissing bugs, because they tend to bite sleeping humans in the soft tissue around the lips and eyes. A more serious problem than their bites is the fact that several of these haematophagous Central and South American species transmit the potentially fatal trypanosomal Chagas disease, sometimes called American trypanosomiasis.
Current taxonomy is based on morphological characteristics. The first cladistic analysis based on molecular data (mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal DNA) was published in 2009 and called into question the monophyly of some current groups, such as the Emesinae.[5]

Not sure we're talking about the same boat. There was a Paceship 23 in our club a number of years ago and I always thought it was a nice looking boat. Similar to the ODays and Catalinas of the same era. It rates PHRF 246, versus a Cat 22 at 270 and a Cat 25 at 228, so pretty competitive.

Genre: All-Sex
Three English girls go on vacation to the Caribbean to find someone who can fuck their virgin asses.
There's a brief and confusing scene where two guys talk about their girlfriends not letting them have anal sex — but we never see those women give up their ass. It's like they had a story in mind but decided to just drop it.
Just to clarify things, the title refers to the British Virgin Isles, not to women who haven't had anal sex before. Every sex scene takes place on white sandy beaches, including three anal scenes. Crystal's three-way is the hottest, the British lass taking on two guys while talking dirty. The scene includes an extended reverse cowgirl anal shot at an interesting angle.

I bought this bag in graphite. It was a lovely deep grey with blue undertone. The bag is versatile. You can use it for everyday or travel. Light-weight and sturdy. Will probably buy more in different colors. =)

Ump Tells Lout To Not Shout, So He's Out
Send them to PDX, we'll top 400.MIAMI, Sept. 12 -- There were so few fans at Dolphin Stadium for Wednesday's game, a season ticket holder got thrown out for heckling the umpire too loudly.
In the fifth inning of the Florida Marlins' 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals, home plate umpire Paul Schreiber gave the thumb to an unnamed man seated behind the plate who had been verbally abusive throughout the contest.
"The fan was chirping at the umpire," Nationals catcher Brian Schneider said. "There was no need for it."
The man was so loud, and the atmosphere so quiet, the fan could be heard saying "you don't make more than me" on the television broadcast as he was forced to leave. There were no more than about 400 fans in attendance at the game's peak.

In Logan, another former space geek, James Porter is working to open a space adventure experience at Wilson Elementary School.
In the Manila area of Utah County, in the wake of Alpine School District's decision to hold off on rebuilding the space center at Central Elementary school, a group of die-hard young Trekkies have opened the Discovery Space Center.
They each are one of the 320,000 students who over the past 23 years have flown and guided space missions in the simulators created under award-winning teacher Victor Williamson's direction.
Many have gone on to win college scholarships and to seek science, math and technical careers using what they learned and felt at the Space Center to fuel their dreams.
Meanwhile, Williamson, 54, is taking early retirement.
Ever the diplomat, Williamson says his decision is based on economics rather than any kind of emotional reaction to the district's decisions involving the center.
In December 2012, inspectors discovered it would take a minimum of $700,000 to upgrade the electrical system to meet today's codes. District leaders then assigned a task force to look at options for the center and ultimately decided to reopen the center on a limited basis for local field trips only rather than expand or build a new center.
Williamson said he understands the district's position as the school is aged and will need to be demolished and rebuilt in the next few years. District spokeswoman Rhonda Bromley said it wouldn't make sense to invest in a center that would be razed with the school.
"The main reason I retired is I realized when the Space Center was going to be shut down, I would lose the supplemental income that goes with it. It makes better economic sense to retire and do some other things," Williamson said. "And, after 22-23 years of 70-hour weeks, I really wanted to get back into teaching."
He will continue to help out at Central Elementary as well as consult at the Discovery Space Center. His principal focus, however, will be to direct the new Farpoint Institute program at Renaissance Academy in Lehi.
"A change is as good as a rest," Williamson quipped. "The goal for me is to see the whole thing survive me."
Williamson said many of the kids involved in the center changed their lives, bringing their grades up, gaining self-confidence as they ran the missions and spurred them on to careers in astronomy, computers and the like.
Williamson started building on to the elementary school in 1990 with a replica of the USS Enterprise-D from the television show Star Trek. He added the class fighter Odyssey in 1995 followed by the Galileo shuttlecraft, the Magellan starship classroom, the Falcon and the Phoenix battleship.
Using "Star Trek" footage, original stories, dramatic background music, authentic-looking props and student manpower, the center educated 16,000 students and visitors a year.
The missions emphasized teamwork, leadership, cooperation and tough decision-making,
Williamson was awarded the Milken Education award for excellence in education in 1998. His center has drawn national attention with over $500,000 in grants paying most of the construction costs. He and the center were honored by then-Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert in its 15th year.
Soon, the center began to pay for itself with overnight missions and summer camps.
