Who do you want and why?
Who's the one guy you really want to see end up with the Texans this year. Regardless of Round and whatnot.
Mine is Garrett Wolfe. Everyone doubts him because he's little (5'7", 180 lbs.). He is a great combination of speed and power. For a little guy, he packs a big punch. He is a hard worker, and can be electrifying to watch when he makes the cut, or plows over the Linebacker and turns on the speed. A longtime favorite of mine. People don't like the size and durability questions, and the fact that he can't move the pile. No one is willing to take a risk on him early and he knows that. His message to all the teams is that "I've worked hard for every spot I've held." He won't go before the 5th or 6th round, but could immediately step in as the 2/3 runner. I call it that because he is the opposite of the Dayne train and would be in when the situation called for it. Look on you tube at what he did in the first game this year against Ohio State. He led the world in rushing this year, but played hurt midseason.

Ryan Kalil C USC.
The chances of us getting him are probably .5% now. I would have loved to see him here because we need a long term solution at C and we don't have one...he's also a leader along the line and knows the ZBS.

Re: Who do you want and why?
John Wendling, safety out of Wyoming. From Rocksprings, WY. My brother worked the oil fields out there about 2 yrs. ago and got me watching him, and I'm telling you this kid can play ball. Plus since he grew up in Rocksprings so I know you don't have to worry about him in a fight.
I was shocked how good he did in the combine, and it just made me want him playing for the Texans even more. He will probably go in the 3rd or 4th rounds. |

Re: Who do you want and why?
Levi Brown. OT is not a flashy pick, so most people don't want us to use our 1st round on it. Charles Spencer is still an unknown and an uncertain. There is no guarentee he will return. Plain and simple, we MUST protect our 48 million dollar investment.

Re: Who do you want and why?
Dallas Baker WR-6-3 203 Florida
Only down side is he is still raw. Needs to work on inline and down feild blocking. Thats his only weak points, and with a decent WR to work with(and we already have some) he could be a legit #2 WR in a year. As you can see from the stas, not overly fast(they say his 40's aren't as fast as he plays), but he can produce. And will be around in the 5th. Year No. Yds Avg. TDs Long 2003 13 209 16.1 1 42 2004 26 410 15.8 5 41 2005 52 697 13.4 5 42 2006 60 920 15.3 10 33 Totals: 151 2,236 14.8 21 42 He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 seconds and 4.69 seconds, and he finished the long shuttle in 11.58 seconds. And for a Franchise RB that I have said we will need...if we don't play to draft high enough in 08 for say a Mike Hart. Kenneth Darby Alabama 5-11 211 Projected 4/5th round Give the kid a year with Green and Dayne to work with and he could be a legit starter on any NFL team. Projected as the 8th best RB in the draft, give him a year to gain more power and work on his leg drive and cutting ability. Status: Senior Height: 5-10 Weight: 215 40-Yard Dash: 4.55 (EST) Positives: During his junior season, Darby showed that he could run well against good, even great defenses, particularly at the end of the season (he played spectacularly in losing efforts against LSU and Auburn). He also put up respectable numbers in Alabama's bowl game against Texas Tech. He possesses tremendous strength, can make catches out of the backfield, runs intelligently, and can make great players miss (see Alabama vs. Ole Miss.) Finally, he delivers when he needs to, and can consistently convert third-and-short situations. Negatives: Darby has mediocre speed for a featured running back, and lacks explosiveness. As such, he cannot make plays that break open games. This will only be more apparent in the NFL, where he will have a lot of trouble running to the outside. Darby also performed very poorly this season, during which he scored zero touchdowns, and barring the Florida game, did not play well against ranked opponents (He averaged 3.01 yds/carry against teams ranked by year's end). Overview: Though Darby has had a bad year, he made it clear during his junior season that he possesses undeniable talent and toughness, and that with a good passing game, he can run well against good defenses. Leon Washington showed that players with lackluster senior seasons can still be effective in the NFL. He may not be able to break open games, but he can gain short yardage and convert important third downs. Projection: A spectacular combine could lift him into the first day. Otherwise, he will probably end up in the late rounds. NFL Comparison: Mike Anderson Reminds me of Emmitt Smith, not game breaking speed but a solid smart RB. Last... Kenny Irons Auburn 4.45 RB Agian, could be great with some mentoring in a year or 2. Expected to go RD 3. |

Re: Who do you want and why?
most of the players I would love to become Texans will now be gone due to where our draft picks fall. the 1st pick I would have loved to seen LaRon Landry, Adrian Peterson & Levi Brown. all three should become all-pro players @ the next level, each bring leadership, athletic ability & toughness.
lost a whole bunch of potential players now without a 2nd so I'll just say I'm looking forward to seeing what Schuab is going to do as the Houston Texans starter, if he provides an upgrade @ QB then he was worth every penny. 3rd rd. I really wanted cb Eric Wright unlv. when its all said & done I beleive he will be one of the top 3 cb's of the 07 draft. teams are working him out now & he is proving that he is recoverd from injury & off field issues. he has excellent hands & can also be used in the return game. he is a playmaker. realisticly since the wr class is deep hopefully one will still be on the board for the Texans. my favorite wr is Anthony Gonzalez as a #2 he could step in & immediately have impact & take pressure off AJ/Schuab. 4th 5th 6th & 7th rd. bpa the Texans have so many needs Jay Moore de, James Marten ot, Aundrae Allison wr, Fred Bennett cb, Kevin Boss te, Keith Jackson dt.

I'm going to reverse this a little bit. I don't want us to take Levi Brown. Here's his Yahoo write-up.

Re: Who do you want and why?
I'd really like to see us grab Aundrae Allison in the 4th as a sleeper. That won't happen though. He'll probably be gone by then. I'm watching for sleepers. I just couldn't help but root for Marques Colston last season. I'm a big underdog kind of guy.
Garrett Wolfe would be an interesting pick but I don't know where he would go in the draft. I haven't looked at enough mocks that went deep in the rounds. I'd definitely give him a shot and think he could work VERY well in the ZBS. Should we spend a 3rd or 4th on him? Not sure. Our backfield doesn't need a 'gamble' and Wolfe fits that bill with his small stature but I'd certainly love to see him become a Texan. I'm just going to pump out offensive or defensive weapons rather than offensive linemen. We need linemen but they simply just aren't what I'd 'hope' for on my team. I'm hoping for explosive, slap you in your face, type of players and those generally fall towards defensive players as well as offensive weapons, not monotonous offensive linemen. |

Re: Who do you want and why?
But we'd have the lineman of the future to protect Schaub. That's just one way of looking at it. Silence the critics. Alas, I agree with you. I don't want to pass up on a Steve Slayton or MacFadden next season if Wolfe slips past us.

Re: Who do you want and why?
I agree I would try to move up to get Thomas, but I wouldn't trade away our first rounder next year. Having no first or second isn't too good considering we don't even know where we're going to end up picking and how good we're going to be this coming year.

I get the following notice when I have a differential pair length rule assigned to a pair of nets. I am using the ES suite and didn't expect that the ES suite would not allow lenght rules. Is this correct or does my system have an issue? I was under the impression that the ES suite had full capabilities for routing with rules.
"You are not licensed to autoroute designs with length rules. These rules will be ignored by autorouting."
The PADS ES Suite includes interactive routing of high-speed contrained nets such as matched lengths, max/min lengths, and differential pairs. For automatic routing of these type of constrained nets, you would need the PADS Autorouter HSD option.
BTW, I'm hosting a webinar on October 27 on this topic. If you're interested, you can register at http://www.mentor.com/products/pcb-system-design/events/avoid-the-pitfalls-of-manual-pcb-routing

With the NHL Trade Deadline now just eight days away, the week ahead is the final test for the Capitals to prove that they have the players in place to make a deep playoff push.
Mike Ribeiro's status is understandably the biggest concern for Washington hockey fans as the Caps' leading scorer remains without a contract for next season and could fetch a nice return in what is expected to be a seller's market.
The Capitals though are playing their best hockey of the season and have pulled within two points of a playoff position in the Eastern Conference for the first time in two months.
Washington also has a favorable schedule in the weeks ahead with seven straight games and nine-of-ten overall against teams currently on the outside of a playoff position.
Washington has a combined record this season of 3-2-0 against this week's opponents with all three victories having come on home ice.
Below is a preview of the week ahead. All statistics are through Monday's games.
The Capitals were also riding high going into their last meeting against the Islanders, having won 8-of-11 before falling 5-2 in Uniondale, NY, on March 9.
Phillip Grubauer made his first career NHL start that afternoon and the Capitals were without injured forwards Brooks Laich and Marcus Johansson and defensemen Mike Green and Jack Hillen. John Erskine was also limited to just two shifts that afternoon due to injury.
The Islanders and Capitals enter Tuesday's rematch tied for 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 31 points each; two back of the eighth place New York Rangers.
The Islanders arrive to D.C. fresh off a 3-0 win on Sunday against the Florida Panthers in which Evgeni Nabokov made 26 saves for his second shutout in five games.
John Tavares is second in the NHL with 19 goals- three shy of the NHL's goal-scoring leader Steven Stamkos.
The Capitals seek a three-game season series sweep against the Sabres as they make their only visit of the year to Western New York on Saturday. The Capitals took both games against Buffalo at Verizon Center earlier this season, including a 5-3 win on March 17.
Coach Adam Oates earned his first career NHL win on Jan. 27 when the Capitals beat the Sabres 3-2 to improve to 1-3-1 on the season. That game also proved to be Lindy Ruff's final contest against the Capitals as the longtime Sabres' bench boss was relieved of his duties on Feb. 20 after a 6-11-1 start to the year.
The Sabres have since gone 7-4-3 under Rolston, who is coaching on an interim basis through the end of the season.
Tomas Vanek has been one of the few bright spots for the Sabres this season and he began the week tied with Alex Ovechkin for seventh in NHL scoring with 16 goals in 28 games.
The Flyers enter the final week of March on the outside of a playoff position, having lost two straight games and 6-of-8 overall to fall five points behind the eighth place Rangers in the Eastern Conference.
Jakob Varocek has been among the few bright spots offensively for Philadelphia this season as he leads the Flyers with 13 goals and 32 points in 31 games.
Claude Giroux has struggled to repeat his career season of a year ago in which he finished third in NHL scoring with 93 points in 77 games. This season the Flyers' captain is tied for 30th in league scoring with 28 points in 31 games.
Secondary scorers like Brayden Schenn (no points and a minus-10 rating in his last eight games) and Sean Couturier (no points and a minus-8 rating in his last 13 games) have also struggled of late.
Former Capital Mike Knuble has played just once in the last month and has been a healthy scratch in seven straight games and 9-of-10 overall. In 18 games this season, Knuble has two goals and six points.

Intel Ships Low-Power Atom Avoton Chips for Data Centers
The new C2000 portfolio will not only help Intel in the nascent microserver space, but also in new areas like cold storage and entry-level networking.
Intel officials are rolling out a range of new data center products, including the latest Atom processor for microservers and other systems, as the company pushes forward with its efforts to evolve from a general-purpose chip maker to a supplier of infrastructure products for cloud-based environments. During an event Sept. 4 in San Francisco, company officials officially announced the low-power Atom C2000 processor family, as well as introduced new silicon for Ethernet switching and demonstrated the chip maker's first Rack Scale Architecture (RSA) design that included Intel's Silicon Photonics technology and a new MXC connector and optical fiber. Intel has begun shipping the C2000 chips, according to officials. The new offerings and the demonstration play to the vision of the changing data center that company executives talked about during another event in July, where such trends as greater mobility and cloud computing are creating environments where infrastructures are being asked to process massive numbers of small, lightweight workloads and to rapidly spin out new cloud services.

i saw like 30 time where he should have died. and how do you jump and go backwards. cheats
Sponsor Content
ok i have to admit its been a long time but i thought you had to climb up the beanstalk to get to the warp zone that leads to level 6,7,8 not going down pipe ?????
The "Necessary Goomba"...poor little guy. He should live on in Internet perpetuity. Anyone want to create some t-shirts?
yeah. 2:47. hes obviously cheating, this is no feat at all, just a bunch of bullshit
This is one of the most nerve wracking things I've ever seen....Seriously making me cringe and feel nervous! I CAN'T TAKE IT.
Prove to me that he was sitting in front of a TV with a NES plugged in and a game pad in his hand and I will be impressed. So many of those jumps and object avoidances are just too perfectly timed to be done without emulation.
Clearly this player, Not Entirely Sure, is some kind of master of reality manipulation. His reflexes... It's the only way to explain their supernatural like abilities!
You have to feel bad for that one Goomba. Everyone gets to live but him. On a different note how much footage do you think this guy have of his earlier attempts at this?
Airjumping a Goomba for 100 points to avoid collecting one or two 10-point coins? What am I missing?
Congratulations. The men from Twin Galaxies will be arriving at your house momentarily to take apart your Nintendo.
It's a complete perversion of the reason we have scores.
But dammit, to see him practically dancing with the Hammer Bros...
Oh wow. This wasn't tool assisted? That's even more impressive. Plus that World 4-2 pipe to vine trick is blowing my mind.
At least you guys didn't insult the speedrunning community in your first sentence. Take a hint Joystiq....
600 points might not be the lowest score possible. Someone in the comments said he might have been able to replace the Goomba-squash jump with a wall jump, which would have cut the score to 500. The run did take advantage of some other glitches, it just didn't use any wall jumps.
Truly this is some kind of... modern witchcraft.
As I'm watching this, I realize that no matter what any of our high scores were on this game back in the day, the SCORE NEVER MATTERED. We never got rewarded for scoring more points (only collecting more coins), so really.... this video has proved that we were ALL PLAYING THE GAME WRONG.
The object wasn't to score high, the object was to score low. That was the REAL challenge. And in this video, a master is at work. A skilled, terrifying master.
How does he take that pipe in World 4-2 to the warp zone. You get there via a vine, right?
I would say he has too much time on his hands but.... I just wasted my time watching the video of how he wasted his time. So he wins this round. Impressive video!
It takes a man of extreme skill & extreme genius to achieve such a spectacular feat of failure. XD
Didn't get any coins or items, was always out of time, fudged up the flagpoles?
Yeah, that's about how well I do.
no. you can do that jump. maybe if you were even an eight of a master of the game as this guy is you wouldve known that
That goomba was headed over the ledge to certain death anyways. Mario just put him out of his misery.
...Except that one Goomba. Necessary casualty of a peace movement. Poor son of a bitch.
500 is definitely the lowest score possible, but the wall jump trick is nigh on impossible to do without either save stating like a bastard or slowing down the game to hit the exact perfect pixel.
It was the only part I had to rewind to watch again. I even called my wife in to watch it for my 4th time. She laughed and called me a douche bag. But seriously, how do you even figure that shit out? If that guy can beat the game with 600 points, I can find a good divorce lawyer for the same amount.
That was kind of the big transition of Mario - high scores really weren't important anymore.
Sure, you'd seen stuff like that in Adventure, but this was a game that awarded points for no reason whatsoever. Heck, the Mario team didn't even stick to that design philosophy - points trigger events in Mario 3, for instance.
that's what I thought! I never knew that trick.
... and I'm too lazy to try and find it.
the bit when he killed that goomba was inspired man, totally amazing. Lets get some perspective here
My point being Rob said he got the points solely on the flags. I know the goomba kill was necessary.

COLUMBIA (AP) — South Carolinians who buy a mid-range health insurance plan through the online marketplace accessible next week will pay about $339 a month, according to federal figures released Wednesday ahead of the Oct. 1 launch of the exchange created under the federal health care law.
That average represents the sticker price for uninsured residents, before federal subsidies, which work like upfront discounts for eligible residents.
South Carolina is among 36 states that opted against running their own exchanges, leaving that to the federal government. The law requires insurers participating in the exchange to offer plans within four tiers: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. However, no company is offering platinum-level options to individual buyers in South Carolina, according to the state Department of Insurance.
The federal report said South Carolina residents will be able to select from an average of 26 plans, depending on where they live.
The in-state average individual premium for a benchmark policy known as the "second-lowest-cost silver plan" is $11 more than the national average. But averages can be misleading. What residents pay out-of-pocket for premiums will vary widely, with factors including family size, age, income and even tobacco use.
According to the federal agency, a benchmark plan for a 27-year-old nonsmoker in S.C. making $25,000 a year would cost $223 monthly, before federal subsidies cut the average to $145 a month.
A family of four with a $50,000 income would pay $809 a month without the tax credit and $282 with it.
The second-lowest-cost silver plan is important because tax credits are keyed to its cost in local areas.
But consumers don't have to take silver. All the plans cover the same benefits and cap annual out-of-pocket expenses at $6,350 for an individual, $12,700 for families.
The big difference is cost sharing through annual deductibles and copayments. Bronze covers 60 percent of expected costs; silver, 70 percent, on up to platinum at 90 percent. Bronze plans have the lowest premiums and the highest cost sharing.
The federal report gave more specific details for residents of Columbia. They'll be able to choose from 28 plans. That hypothetical 27-year-old would pay $90 monthly after subsidies for the lowest plan in the bronze tier, while that family of four would pay $84 monthly after credits for the lowest bronze plan.
Starting Jan. 1, virtually all Americans will be required to carry health insurance or face fines. At the same time, the health care law will prohibit insurance companies from turning away people in poor health, or charging them more. And it will limit what insurers can charge their oldest customers.
Experts said the plans under the health care law are not comparable to what's currently sold on the individual health insurance markets, because the coverage is broader and the financial protection for policyholders is more robust.

No one I meet is safe from being blessed, no matter what the state of their life is! Graham Cooke, recently encouraged us to get overwhelmed by the love of God. Some of us, even as Christians, wander thru life as if a prisoner in a cell - struggling with the sins of the past, thinking God couldn't love someone like me. But God has wiped away our sins, like an eraser on a chalkboard. He remembers them no more. We, you and I, have the key to unlock their cell. They could escape from their incarceration and discover the plans a loving God has for them! My business, your business, is revealing the heart of God, using words if we have to, And it all starts with a simple "God bless you" blessing. No one is safe from being blessed!

I swear to god one day I'm going to have an actual heart attack and I'm not going to do a damn thing about it and afterwards people are gonna ask me why I didn't go to a doctor and I'm gonna tell them, "Oh I've had that pain before and everyone said I was crazy." I'm not saying I'm having a heart attack…. but it sure feels like one. Anyway, that was just a really drawn out version of telling you I'm having a lot of chest pain. Onto the good news: One of these days I am going to post a regime update and list out everything I am taking because I think its working. I still have random pain but I am getting better (I even worked out today – HUGE STEP)! I also just started an internship for the Bel13ve in Miracles Foundation and am so so so excited to be working with them!! On top of all that positive news I am going to the University of Arizona in the fall (can't wait to get out of this cold)! We are hoping I am better by then but I'm on the right track. Taking it day by day and sometimes hour by hour. Baby steps are better than no steps. My crazy Easter eggs!! Always BEL13VEING! |

this guy's collection of TOJ
Good to know, thanks. Heading over to japan in a few wks so wanted to plan accordingly.
Anyone know where to find a jacket similar to the Gucci Madonna bomber? Cannot find this jacket for sale in black so hoping there are some alternatives.
X-post from WAYWT
Damir Doma, 2009. No idea what kind of leather but it's definitely a S/S kind of weight and feel. Clunky zips throughout. No lack of straps. Sleeves can be pulled up to the elbows and fastened. Internal belt allows you to sling it over your shoulder and tighten to back to suit your needs. More of a leather shirt. I think I'm in love.

The Roku LT is the best budget streaming-media device, easily topping the $35 Chromecast.
Before Google's $35 Chromecast, the Roku LT was the original impossibly priced streamer that seemed too good to be true, offering up tons of streaming content in a tiny box for just $50.
The Roku LT hasn't changed much since its introduction in 2011 as Roku's online-only budget box. You get the full Roku experience, now up to 1,000 channels, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Pandora, MLB.TV, Amazon Cloud Player, and Vudu. There's still no YouTube app, although there are some decent workarounds. The Roku LT's video output is limited to 720p, but only the pickiest viewers will notice much of a difference.
For more information, read CNET's full review of the Roku LT.

Five Ways Touchscreens Can Improve Your Vending Operation
VendScreen president and CEO, David Grano, discusses how touchscreens can enable operators to engage consumers and differentiate their machines, meet consumer demands for product data, which will exceed federal mandates, and improve customer service. This flexible technology interface is poised to grow with operators who want to add new features such as couponing, and it has been shown to drive sales over standard cashless devices.

Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retail, 2nd Edition" by Packaged Facts.
An August 2012 Packaged Facts survey shows that 97% of U.S. adults eat pizza, and 93% have gotten food from a pizza restaurant in the past 12 months. On a monthly basis, 27% get pizza through restaurant delivery/pickup (which translates to about 410 million pizzas a year), 26% through restaurant dine-in, and 24% from the frozen food cases. These levels of penetration underscore why pizza has been called its own "food group," but also the difficulty in growing sales in this commoditized market.
According to Packaged Facts just-released report, The Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retail, sales at pizza restaurants will reach $36.1 billion in 2012, up 3.8% from 2011. At retail, U.S. frozen and refrigerated pizza will register sales of $4.91 billion.
On the restaurant side, although pizza restaurants are losing share to other restaurant cuisine formats, major pizza chains have continued to grow sales. On the retail side, private label continues to gain sales--and steal share--in each of three mass-market pizza segments (frozen pizza, pizza products, and refrigerated pizza). On store shelves, category growth is primarily on the natural and organic front: Among the top 12 frozen pizza manufacturers, significant growth has come only from Newmans Own and Amys Kitchen.
Food consumption has clearly trended toward healthier options and home-based cost savings, which can come at the expense of pizza. According to David Sprinkle, the publisher of Packaged Facts, the main message to pizza purveyors is evident: enhance the overall healthfulness of your pizza, and experiment with options providing more clear-cut healthfulness without sacrificing taste. But menu trends reveal a wealth of additional cuisine-driven growth opportunities, according to Packaged Facts:

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Just plain great
Originally heard it on Iron Turtle, but just had to have the download to listen to other times. Drives well, plenty of layers, and plays totally differently on speakers/headphones/in the car/etc. I love it, and my son does too. Ya just just can't buy that kind of approval!
As a bonus, I'd never heard of that rabble-rouser Savio. Reading about him was an interesting exercise, and a little piece of history that might actually have made a difference. Thanks for that, too.

Just had a thought... how about Ben Browder as Flash. Seems to me like Farscape can be compared to both Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. He may be the perfect fit for the role. Any opinions?
Hey Blankczech, what part of Jersey did you grow up in? My paternal grandparents used to live in Union City.
Not a big fan of what Fox has done with Marvel properties, but I will still keep my fingers crossed.

But I really do hope that FOX and the writers have enough respect for the property to put together a movie that the fans will really enjoy. Should be the right blend of pulp action,sci-fi, and fantasy with a larger than life cast and story.
Awesome episode! Really hope they keep Deathstroke around for Season 3. I'm hoping that the mention of Bludhaven in The Man under the Hood is a nod to a future appearence by Nightwing.
So is this like a remake of Cannibal Holocaust?

Addressing the debilitating, chronic pain of pancreatitis
People with chronic, debilitating pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) regularly rely on us for solutions, such as a pancreatectomy (removal of the pancreas). Although chronic pancreatitis is rare in children, we specialize in treating this condition, which can disrupt a child's life.
You will be in safe, experienced hands at University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital. One of the world's largest pancreatectomy and islet auto-transplant programs, in 1977, University of Minnesota Physicians performed the first total pancreatectomy and islet auto-transplant (TP-IAT) in the world.
- Since then, our surgeons have performed more than 500 TP-IATs—more than three times the number completed at any other center.
- Roughly one in four of these procedures has been performed on children ages 3 to 18.
How TP-IAT works
Simply stated, the surgeon removes the pancreas and specially trained technicians separate out the islets. Then the surgeon injects the islets into the patient's liver to produce insulin to manage blood sugar levels. If necessary, the patient can take supplemental insulin injections. Because the islets are the patient's own cells, there is no risk of rejection.
Pain relief is the most significant aspect of TP-IAT. Nearly all patients (95 percent) report that their pain is gone or greatly diminished after the surgery. This procedure can also help prevent diabetes, which is a bonus that patients appreciate.

Late Glacial Maximum
The Late Glacial Maximum (c. 13,000-10,000 years ago), or Tardiglacial ("Late Glacial"),[1] is defined primarily by the beginning of the modern warm period, in which climates in the northern hemisphere warmed substantially, causing a process of accelerated deglaciation following the Last Glacial Maximum (c. 25,000-13,000 years ago).[2] It is at this time that human populations, previously forced into refuge areas as a result of Last Glacial Maximum climatic conditions, gradually begin to repopulate the northern hemisphere's Eurasian landmass and eventually populate North America via Beringia for the first time.
Evidence for the occurrence of the Late GM stems from two main types of analysis. The first is the use of oxygen isotope stages (OIS) gathered from stratified deep sea sediment cores. Samples are gathered and measured for change in isotope levels to determine temperature fluctuation for given periods of time. The second is a proxy measurement, namely, the observation of certain reappearing fauna and flora fossils that can only survive in temperate climates thus indicating warming trends for a given geographic area.[3]
Archaeological evidence of settlement and re-settlement in certain areas by humans also serves as a proxy measurement. Towards the end of OIS 2 in which the Late Glacial Maximum occurs, the deep sea sediment cores indicate a gradually warming climate and the reappearance of certain warm weather flora and fauna remains throughout the Northern Hemisphere correlate with this trend. A period of relatively brief cold oscillation, referred to as the Younger Dryas, is detected during OIS 2 as can be inferred from an increase in isotope weight.[3]
Western Europe and the North European Plain[edit]
Climate amelioration begins to occur rapidly throughout Western Europe and the North European Plain c. 16,000-15,000 years ago. The environmental landscape becomes increasing boreal except in the far north, where conditions remain arctic. Sites of human occupation reappear in northern France, Belgium, northwest Germany, and southern Britain between 15,500 to 14,000 years ago. Many of these sites are classified as Magdalenian though other industries containing distinctive curved back and tanged points appear as well. As the Fennoscandian ice sheet continued to shrink, plants and people began to repopulate the freshly deglaciated areas of southern Scandinavia.[4]
Between 12,000 to 10,000 years ago, the western coast of Norway and southern Sweden up to latitude 65° north becomes occupied by sites belonging to the Fosna-Hensbacka complex. They are defined by the appearance of tanged points and other artifacts similar to those found earlier in Northwest Germany. Komsa sites are found c. 7,000 years ago along Norway's Finnmark county above 70° north and further east on the Kola Peninsula. They are defined by surface finds of tanged points, burins, scrapers, and adzes. The primary game of Magdalenian hunters appears to have been reindeer, though evidence of bird and shellfish consumption persist as well.[4]
East European Plain[edit]
Periglacial loess-steppe environments prevail across the East European Plain during this time, although climates ameliorated slightly during several brief interstadials and began to warm significantly after the beginning of the Late Glacial Maximum. Pollen profiles for this time indicate a pine-birch woodland interspersed with the steppe in the deglaciated northern plain, birch-pine forest with some broadleaf trees in the central region and steppe in the south. This pattern reflects the reemergence of a marked zonation of biomes with the decline of glacial conditions. Human site occupation density was most prevalent in the Crimea region and increased as early as c. 16,000 years before the present. However reoccupation of northern territories of the East European Plain did not occur until 13,000 years before the present. Prior to this settlement of the central portion of the East European Plain was significantly reduced during a period of maximum cold c. 21,000-17,000 years before the present.[2]
Overall, there is little archaeological evidence to suggest major shifting settlement pattern during this time on the East European plain. This is unlike what was occurring in Western Europe, where Magdalenian industry producers were rapidly repopulating much of Europe. Evidence of this can be found as far east at Kunda sites (c. 10,000 years ago) located throughout Baltic country territory where tanged point and other tool making traditions reminiscent of the northwestern European Magdalenian persist.[4]
Generally, lithic technology is dominated by blade production and typical Upper Paleolithic tool forms such as burins and backed blades (the most persistent). Kostenki archaeological sites of multiple occupation layers persist from the Last Glacial Maximum and into the Late Glacial Maximum on the eastern edge of the Central Russian Upland, along the Don River. Epigravettian archaeological sites, similar to Eastern Gravettian sites, are common in the southwest, central, and southern regions of the East European Plain c. 17,000-10,000 years BP, and are also present in the Crimea and Northern Caucasus.[2]
The time of the Epigravettian also reveals evidence for tailored clothing production, a tradition persisting from preceding Upper Paleolithic archaeological horizons. Fur bearing small mammal remains abound such as Arctic fox, and paw bones of hares reflecting pelt removal. Large and diverse inventories of bone, antler, and ivory implements are common, and ornamentation and art are associated with all major industries. Insights into the technology of this period can also be seen in features such as structures, pits, and hearths mapped on open air occupation areas scattered across the East European Plain.[2]
Mammoths were typically hunted for fur, bone shelter and bone fuel. In the southwest region around the middle Dnestr Valley, sites are dominated by reindeer and horse from the Last GM to the Late Gm accounting for 80 to 90 percent of the identifiable large mammal remains. Mammoth is less common, typically 15 percent or less since the availability of wood eliminated the need for heavy consumption of bone fuel and collection of large bones for construction. Mammoth remains may have been collected for other raw material namely ivory. Other large mammals in modest numbers include steppe bison and red deer. Plant foods likely played an increasing role in the southwest region than in the central and southern plains since southwest sites consistently yield grinding stones widely thought to have been used for preparation of seeds, roots, and other plant parts.[2]
Siberian Plain[edit]
During the Late GM, southern Siberia supported little vegetation, though some trees - mainly pine - persisted. Evidence comes not only from pollen-spore data but also from wood charcoal in former hearths at archaeological sites. Pollen samples around Chukotka, and the Taimyr Peninsula indicate a forest zone emerging roughly 7000 years ago and slightly warmer climates than at the present.
The earliest human reoccupation of Siberia does not begin until 21,000 years ago. Evidence of this persists mainly in the south around Lake Baikal, as at the Studenoe site, for example. Later sites include Kokorevo in the Yenisei Valley and Chernoozer'e in the Ob River basin. These sites are confined to latitudes below 57 degrees North and most are c-14 dated from 19,000 to 14,000 years ago. Settlements differ from those of the east European plain as they reflect a more mobile lifestyle due to the absence of mammoth bone houses, storage pits-all indicators of long term settlement. Visual art is uncommon. Fauna remains consist of red deer, reindeer, and moose and indicate a mainly meat-oriented diet.
The habitat of Siberia was far more harsh than any other area during the Late GM and often did not provide enough survival opportunities for its human inhabitants. This is what forced human groups to remain dispersed and mobile throughout the years. Such is reflected in the lithic technology, as tiny blades were typically manufactured, often termed micro-blades less than 8 cm wide with unusually sharp edges indicating frugality due to low resource levels. They were fixed into grooves along one or both edges of a sharpened bone or antler point. Specimens of complete microblade-inset points have been recovered from both Kokorevo and Chernoozer'e. At Kokorevo, one was found embedded in a bison shoulder blade.
As climates warmed further c. 15,000 years, fish began to populate rivers, and technology used to harvest them - such as barbed harpoons - first appeared on the Upper Angara river. At this time people expand northwards into the Middle Lena Basin. By 11,000 years ago, settlement size increases as discovered at the Ust'-Belaya site where fauna remains consist of entirely modern type remains of deer, moose, fish, and traces of domesticated dogs. New technology such as fish hooks appear among bone and antler implements.[4]
The Dyuktai culture near Dyuktai cave on the Aldan river at 59 degrees North are similar to southern Siberian sites and include the wedge shaped cores and microblades, along with some bifacial tools, burins, and scrapers. This site likely represents the material remains of the people who spread across the Bering Land Bridge and into the New World. At 12,000 years ago, the Sumnagin culture appears over large portions of northern and eastern Siberia. These sites are small and yield few artifacts of small blades struck off thin cylindrical cores. Bone tools are absent as well as fishing equipment.[4]
Most Sumnagin sites were located in the forest zone and because of that most tools were likely created from wood which would help explain a sparse archaeological record. Another factor may be due to low levels of human settlement since the region of the Sumnagin culture could likely only support a considerably lower biomass than the rest of Eurasia. This is even reflected today along the Middle Lena Basin among current human populations. The Sumnagin diet consisted of large mammals such as deer, moose, and even brown bear as revealed by the fauna remains found. Nevertheless Sumnagin culture representatives move northward and become the first to populate Siberia's Arctic tundra c. 10,000 years ago.[4]
At around 9,500-9,000 years ago, Sumnagin sites spread to Zhokhov Island, where slotted bone and antler points, antler and ivory mattocks, and bone handles for cutting tools were found. Few wooden artifacts were also found, including a large shovel or scoop, arrow shafts, and a sledge-runner fragment. Fauna remains consist of reindeer and polar bear. Only isolated bones of walrus, seal, and birds were identified. Further settlement proceeded eastward and westward into Chukotka and the Taimyr Peninsula.[4]
North America[edit]
Over the land between the Lena Basin and northwest Canada, increased aridity occurred during the Last Glacial Maximum. Sea level fell to about 120 m below its present position, exposing a dry plain between Chukotka and Western Alaska. Clear skies reduced precipitation, and loess deposition promoted well-drained, nutrient-rich soils that supported diverse steppic plant communities and herds of large grazing mammals. The wet tundra soils and spruce bogs that exist today were absent.
Cold temperatures and massive ice sheets covered most of Canada and the northwest coast, thus preventing human colonization of North America prior to 16,000 years ago. An "ice free corridor" through western Canada to the northern plains is thought to have opened up no earlier than 13,500 years ago. However, deglaciation in the Pacific northwest may have taken place more rapidly and a coastal route could have been available by 17,000 years ago. Rising temperatures and increased moisture accelerated environmental change after 14,000 years ago, as shrub tundra replaced dry steppe in many parts of Beringia.
Camp settlement sites are found along Tanana River in central Alaska by 14,000 years ago and some evidence suggests human exploration at the Bluefish Caves in the Yukon as early as 15,500 years ago. Earliest occupation levels at the Tanana Valley sites contain artifacts similar to the Siberian Dyuktai culture. At Swan Point, these comprise micoblades, burins, and flakes struck from bifacial tools. Artifacts at the nearby site of Broken Mammoth are few, but include several rods of mammoth ivory. The diet was of large mammals and birds, as indicated by fauna remains.
Earliest site occupation at Ushki sites of central Kamchatka (c. 13,000 years ago) display evidence of small oval houses and bifacial points. Stone pendants, beads, and a burial pit are present. In central Alaska up the northern foothills at the Dry Creek site c. 13,500-13,000 years ago near Nenana Valley, small bifacial points were found. It is thought that people moved into this area to hunt elk and sheep on a seasonal basis. Microblade sites typologically similar to Dyuktai appear c. 13,000 years ago in central Kamchatka and throughout many parts of Alaska.
Around 12,000 years ago, the rising sea level reached a position less than 60 metres below today's level and flooded the lowlands between Chukotka and western Alaska. The ensuing increase in moisture accelerated Alaska's transition to wet tundra and coniferous forests. The Bering Land Bridge had closed and thus Beringia ceased to exist. At about this time, sites that comprise the Denali complex appeared and persisted to c. 7,500 years ago. Denali complex sites indicate high yields of caribou remains c. 8,000 years ago and corresponds with an increase in settlement size.[4]
Human genetics[edit]
The European distribution of Y-chromosome haplogroup R1a has been suggested to have occurred as a result of receding glacial activity allowing males bearing the lineage from the present day territory of Ukraine to migrate and gradually populate central, northern, and western Europe.[5]
Alternatively, it has been proposed that males from Haplogroup Hg P*(xR1a1) or R1b (Y-DNA) repopulated most of Europe shortly after the Last Glacial Maximum, related to population expansions out of the Franco-Cantabrian region.[6] The European distribution of Y-chromosome Haplogroup I and various associated subclades has also been explained as resulting from male post-glacial re-colonization of Europe from refuge in the Balkans, Iberia, and Eastern Europe.[7]
Males possessing Haplogroup Q are postulated as representing a significant portion of the population that crossed Beringia and populated North America for the first time.[8]
The distribution of mtDNA haplogroup H has been postulated as representing the major female repopulating of Europe after the Last Glacial Maximum from the Franco-Cantabrian region.[9] mtDNA haplogroups A, B, C, D, and X are interpreted according to some as supporting a single pre-Clovis populating of the Americas via a coastal route.[10]

A Girl Worth Fighting For
Mulan Nail Art!
Each of the Disney Princesses have been requested multiple times. I wanted to wait and only do their designs when I was feeling inspired, so it may take me a while to get through all of them. I love Mulan. I was 11 years old when it was released, and of course a big tween Christina Aguilera fan at the time(she's on the soundtrack). But how can you not like an inspirational movie about a courageous girl trying to protect her father? Still to this day, I love the music from Mulan. I can belt out the lyrics to "A Girl Worth Fighting For" or "Be A Man."
Maybe that's why I'm still single? But the guy would have to be amazing for me to change that.
Blah, blah, blah.... on to the nails. I wanted to feature part of her face and then her traditional outfit.
To start the outfit nails, I painted a solid base of China Glaze Lemon Fizz. It doesn't have to be entirely opaque. Just make sure that the area near the cuticle is, that's all that will show in the end.
All of these next steps can be done with tape to mask off the areas, but I'm too impatient for that and have a steady hand, so I just freehanded. Do what works best for you. I added Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Going Green. Once again, doesn't have to be perfect coverage on the entire nail. Just the part that will show.
Then add a lighter shade of green. I used Pure Ice Free Spirit.
Then straight across and down 2/3 of the nail paint a solid navy blue. I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri Co-Bolt Blue.
I left it like this as first, took some pics, and then later went back and added the red across the very bottom to represent her waist sash.
I used OPI No Autographs, Please for the red. Which way do you like it best? With sash? Or without sash?
Here are the step by step pics of the face. I realize I got ahead of myself a bit, so it jumps from naked base to lots of black detail. Sorry about that, but I can't go back in time.
Solid base of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Cafe Au Lait.
Black acrylic paint for hair, eyebrows, eyes.
White and brown acrylic paint for eye details. Elongate her loose hair in her bangs. And don't forget her nose!
Add a white shine to her eyes and topcoat!
Hope you like it!
Pin It
acrylic paint,
china glaze,
pure ice,
sally hansen,

Branford Marsalis Quartet to Reissue Coltrane's A Love Supreme: Live in Amsterdam Read more »
Publication: The Guardian
Author: John Fordham
Date: August 2, 2012
It's often observed that this fine saxophonist's studio recordings rarely catch his live-show fire. There's a relaxation about this one, however (Branford Marsalis suggested the title to his manager as a joke, but it reflects the unselfconscious mood) that comes very close. Original drum star Jeff "Tain" Watts has been replaced by the lighter-stepping Justin Faulkner, but the other MFs – pianist Joey Calderazzo and bassist Eric Revis – supply Marsalis the same rocket-fuel they have since the late 1990s. There are fewer quirky set-pieces and more of a jam-like atmosphere, though Marsalis the balladeer is still eloquently present - in the flute-like soprano-sax delivery of As Summer Into Autumn Slips, or the tender tenor-sax robustness of My Ideal.But the ecstatically uptempo soprano-sax vehicle The Mighty Sword , the dazzling Whiplash (with its long trio spot just for the leader on languidly expressive tenor, pulled and nudged by bass and drums) and wryly stalking rhythm games like the blues-swinging Brews and the Monkish Teo really give this set its special spark.

Re: TheGodBen Revisits Deep Space Nine
I was about to bitch slap you for giving Chrysalis a better grade than Take Me Out, until I noticed it was B5. So I take my bitch slap back. For now...
I really like the baseball episode, as it's a lot of fun seeing the hopeless Niners trying to help Sisko settle his old score. I think it suffers from being yet another fluff episode, yet I'd rank it higher than some of the iffy season six offerings. I'd rank it higher than Chrysalis too.
I'm not a fan of baseball either, but since the rest of the crew can't play, it doesn't seem to matter much. They're going to help their friend, and they all going have fun doing it. Odo as the umpire was an inspired choice, and I loved O'Brien making scotch-infused gum.
Romance of the week part 79423 is a strange one. It tries not to be a romance of the week, and yet has all the same trappings. I agree that it's a more mature take on the subject, yet the Bashir/Sarina pairing is a bit too dull to make me care. The episode is worth rewatching purely for more zany Zack Pack energy, and also for the cute Do Re Mi scene.

In this issue:
HSLDA Chairman Mike Farris Addresses Congressional Values Summit Mike Farris, co-founder and chairman of Home School Legal Defense Association, represented the organization at a high-level summit meeting on Capitol Hill Tuesday. Farris was representing HSLDA as part of the Values Summit, sponsored by The Values Action Team, a group of Congressmen and Senators dedicated to preserving and advancing traditional family values via Congressional action. Farris addressed the meeting, which was attended by such Congressional luminaries as Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL), House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-TX), House Republican Conference Chairman J.C. Watts (R-OK), House Deputy Republican Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Senators Sam Brownback (R-KA) and Rick Santorum (R-PA). The Congressional Values Action Team is chaired by U.S. Rep. Joseph Pitts (R-PA). On behalf of HSLDA's more-than-70,000 member families, Farris urged Congress to end discrimination of home school students in several areas, including the Federal Financial Aid program, veterans benefits, education savings accounts and the administration of the Individuals with Disability Education Act. Additionally he encouraged members to amend the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to protect law-abiding parents from overzealous social workers. "I think Mike did a great job expressing to the members present some of the legislative challenges which home education faces in Washington D.C." said Tom Washburne, director of the National Center for Home Education, who also was present at the meeting. Also attending the meeting were noted conservative leaders such as Dr. James Dobson, chairman of Focus on the Family, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, president of Toward Tradition, Phyllis Schlaffly, founder of Eagle Forum, and Janet Parshall, host of Janet Parshall's America. Home School Community Works To Gain Access To Scholastic.Com Through the patient efforts of a number of home school parents around the country, Scholastic Inc., the largest publisher of children's books in the world, has begun treating home school teachers like other teachers, in terms of access to web resources and discounts to merchandise. The Scholastic Online Teacher Store was previously only available for "educators with school affiliation" (the company's term). An online book club was similarly exclusive. Following a number of inquiries from around the country, the teacher store and book clubs are now open to home educators, and a new Home School Book Club has been formed. Victor Aluise, director of Scholastic.com's Teacher area, said the move is logical. "Home schoolers are an important part of the educational landscape and Scholastic is happy to serve their needs online via the store and our free teaching resources on www.scholastic.com" Aluise said. Aluise explained that potential customers will need to register with the site. "Since the Teacher Store offers special discounts to educators, shoppers must first register with us. Our registration system has been specially designed to accommodate home schoolers," he said. "During registration, home schoolers are asked to enter their home school information and check the "I am a home schooler" box. "Scholastic customer service verifies their information and grants them access to the store," he added. "The process takes about 3-5 business days to complete. We are currently working on streamlining the process to reduce the turnaround time." One home school mom who worked hard to help Scholastic see the light was Cheryl Forsythe from Eden Prairie Minnesota. Cheryl made a number of phone calls and sent a letter to Scholastic explaining to company management that home schooling is legal in 50 states and an increasingly popular educational option. She was pleased to see the company decide to include the burgeoning pool of home school parents in its program. "It does appear that Scholastic is very willing and anxious to serve home schoolers now," Forsythe said. "As more home schoolers enter the book clubs and Teacher's Store, I'm sure the system will become even more user friendly. House Passes Two Strong Pro-Life Bills The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed two pieces of pro-life legislation, H.R. 2175, the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act of 2002, and H.R. 2146, the Two Strikes and You're Out Child Protection Act. The Born Alive Protection Act was introduced by U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio). H.R. 2146 was introduced by Rep. Mark Green (R-WI). For more information on either bill, go to the site linked below and enter the bill number in the search engine. Military Academies Strong Option For Home School Families The House of Representatives and Senate recently passed SJ Resolution 32, a measure congratulating the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY on its 200th anniversary. While most home school families likely join in this appreciation of the work done to train our country's future military leaders, they may not realize some of the opportunities that the service academies hold for home school families. With high-level academic programs, a strong sense of family values and a fully-funded educational experience, the service academies are worth considering when it comes to choices in higher education.

Select Industry
(Mono-, Di-, and Trimethylamine)
Fuel additives are used to improve engine performance in a variety of ways.
DMCHA and DMAPA (see Personal Care) are used for gasoline and motor oil additives.
MMA and chlorobenzene are reacted with copper as a catalyst to make n-methylaniline for aviation fuel. DMA hydrochloride is also used as an additive in aviation fuel as an antiknock compound.
MMA nitrate is a freezing point depressant in jet engines using ammonium nitrate-urea fuels. Mixtures of MMA, DMA, and TMA in water have been tested as coolants in some high-speed engines.

The PersistentManager is another session manager provided with Sun Java System Web Server. For session persistence, PersistentManager can use a file, to which each session is serialized. You can also create your own persistence mechanism.
You may want to specify PersistentManager explicitly to change its default parameters. To do so, edit the sun-web.xml file for the web application as in the following example. Note that persistence-type must be set to file.
<sun-web-app> ... <session-config> <session-manager persistence-type="file"> <manager-properties> <property name=reapIntervalSeconds value=20 > </manager-properties> <store-properties> <property name=directory value=sessions > </store-properties> </session-manage> ... </session-config> ... </sun-web-app>
For more information about the sun-web.xml file, Chapter 7, Deploying Web Applications.
The following table describes manager-properties properties for the PersistentManager session manager. The left column lists the property name, the middle column indicates the default value, and the right column describes what the property does.
Table 4–5 manager-properties Properties for PersistentManager
Property Name |
Default Value |
Description |
reapIntervalSeconds |
60 |
Specifies the number of seconds between checks for expired sessions. Setting this value lower than the frequency at which session data changes is recommended. For example, this value should be as low as possible (1 second) for a hit counter servlet on a frequently accessed web site, or you could lose the last few hits each time you restart the server. |
maxSessions |
-1 |
Specifies the maximum number of active sessions, or -1 (the default) for no limit. |
