Treatment Plants factsheet
Located in Bayview Hunters Point, the Southeast Treatment Plant (SEP) is nestled in the midst of a mixed industrial, commercial and residential area; with some neighbors only a street's width away from the treatment plant.
The SEP is San Francisco's largest and oldest wastewater facility, responsible for treating nearly 80% of the City's flow. Wastewater is transported to the SEP through a grid of transport/storage facilities, sewers, and five major pump stations. The SEP treats 57 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater and handles 160 wet tons of biosolids each day. During a rainstorm, it has the capacity to treat up to 250MGD of wastewater.
The Need for Improvement
Built in 1952, many parts of the SEP facilities represent 1940's technology and are operating well beyond their useful lives. Through the Sewer System Improvement Program (SSIP), the SEP will undergo operational improvements and seismic upgrades in order to ensure the reliability of the sewer system and to protect the health of our community and environment.
These proposed SSIP improvements incorporated public input from the Southeast Digesters Task Force, an advisory group of neighborhood and business interests who provided recommendations on reducing community impacts. Check out our page dedicated to the upgrades going on at the Biosolids Digester Facilities.

Report: Kris Humphries reaches deal to remain with Nets
Jul 17, 2012, 10:42 AM EDT
This is the outcome Kris Humphries was pushing for and it looks like he got his wish.
The power forward is returning to the Nets, reports Marc Stein of ESPN.
Kris Humphries is staying with Nets on two-year deal valued at $24 million
Humphries had been close in negotiations with the Nets, the team's GM Billy King said last week so this really isn't a surprise. The Nets shopped him everywhere this summer — to Orlando, to Cleveland as part of an Orlando deal — plus teams like the Bobcats came calling (reportedly with three-years, $28 million). But Lopez always really wanted to be a Brooklyn hipster.
Is $12 million a year a bit high? Yes, but not wildly out of line as quality big men get overpaid in the NBA. This is a good move by the Nets — Humphries is a good NBA power forward. Last season he averaged 13.8 points and 11 rebounds a game, and you need a strong rebounder next to Brook Lopez (who also is returning to Brooklyn). Humphries is an above average PER of 17.8. He's no All-Star, his choice in women is less than ideal, but he's a good NBA player who turns 27, so a couple year deal is a good match.
- readysethike - Jul 17, 2012 at 10:50 AM
yup definately overpaid and looking at the free agent market…there really was no one else available
- mulletcork - Jul 17, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Nice signing. A very underrated player, overshadowed by the Kardashian debacle. The Nets have put together a solid team here.
- heat256 - Jul 17, 2012 at 10:57 AM
I agree. He got more playing time over the last two years, and averaged a double-double. Give him 30-35 min a game and he could be a 15-12 guy.
- moseskkim - Jul 17, 2012 at 2:22 PM
While he is a quality big man, he did 14 and 11 on a horrible team where he was the 3rd option on offense. He ain't scoring much with dwill, jj, crash, lopez, brooks. Maybe something like 8 and 12
- yourfutureanalyst1 - Jul 17, 2012 at 10:59 AM
The Nets have a pretty good squad. D Will, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Brook Lopez and now the signing of Humphries. They have a decent bench thus far and with Avery Johnson coaching I think they are in good hands, plus Humphries is a solid rebounder who probably will never command the ball on offense but he probably will never have to with the Nets, and playing with a distributor like D Will he will get his touches and put points on the board when needed. This was a good signing.
- baron30 - Jul 17, 2012 at 11:00 AM
Onlyly three players averaged at least 13 points and 11 rebounds per game, and shot at least 48% percentr: Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum and Kris Humphries
…good fit next to lopez and will earn his money doing the dirty work.
D-Will, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Hump, and Lopez…. that's a legit starting 5. Probably battling for the 3-4 spot in the East.
plus a decent bench in: Marshawn Brooks, Mirza Teletovic (top euro player), Reggie Evans, Tyshaun Taylor (R), C.J. Watson and Stack.
- paleihe - Jul 17, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Seems like a good deal to me. Rebounds, scores, and plays decent D. The Kardashian reference isn't necessary, but he's a good signing.
- exibitsman - Jul 17, 2012 at 11:18 AM
The nets got a solid rebounder and a team player. Humphrey's got a excellent 2 year contract 24 million
- cantonbound13 - Jul 17, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Atleast he picked the right Kardashian, unlike Lamar. Only problem is he married her.
- cordae - Jul 17, 2012 at 5:30 PM
That is probably the only thing ive seen you post and actually smiled at lol
and Khloe is pretty large, isnt lamar like 6'8 or something? I seen them in a pic and she came to his shoulders,
- joroberts10 - Jul 17, 2012 at 12:29 PM
So this pretty much has to rule out any chance of Dwight going to the Nets right? Unless the Magic and Nets were to do some sort of sign and trade, but the Magic don't want any of the Nets players. And there is no way he could sign as a free agent, the Nets have so many big contracts(Humphries $12mill/yr, Lopez around $15mill/yr, Wallace $10/yr, Williams/Johnson $20mill/yr). That's a lot of money

Should Kris Humphries still be happy that Kanye West "didn't have Jay drop him from the team"?

Wow I had no idea we were talking about Brook Lopez.

Hattie Carthan (1900-1984) was a Bedford-Stuyvesant resident who always had an interest in trees. When she noticed conditions in her neighborhood beginning to deteriorate, Mrs. Carthan began replanting trees there and in the process helped found the Bedford-Stuyvesant Neighborhood Tree Corps and the Green Guerillas.
Mrs. Carthan started the Tree Corps in 1971 as a way to teach young people how to care for trees. As a volunteer organization providing supplies, advice and encouragement for all types of urban community green spaces, the Green Guerillas were the force behind the resurgence of the community garden movement in the 1970s. The organization began informally in 1974 with tactics as simple as throwing water balloons filled with seeds into abandoned lots; the positive response showed the overwhelming need for more green space in the inner city.

Lung cancer is a heterogeneous disease with many histological subtypes, further complicated by the frequent occurrence of lung metastases from various tumor origins. Therefore, determining the correct diagnosis of any lung tumor often poses a difficult diagnostic challenge that may have very significant therapeutic implications. This poster will detail the use of microRNAs for differentiating between different primary lung tumors and metastases to the lung.

The distinction of liver metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and determining its tissue origin is a frequent problem in oncology, especially since liver metastases, and particularly adenocarcinoma, may mimic the morphology and immunoexpression of hepatocellular carcinoma. Such distinction has significant therapeutic and prognostic implications. In the present study, Rosetta Genomics and collaborators use microRNAs as biomarkers for tissue identification to distinguish between HCC and metastatic tumors in the liver.

Less-is-better effect
The less-is-better effect is a type of preference reversal that occurs when the lesser or smaller alternative of a proposition is preferred when evaluated separately, but not evaluated together. The term was first proposed by Christopher Hsee.[1] The effect has also been studied by Dan Ariely.
Another paradigm that incorporates this effect is Occam's razor, which is referred to as simplifying a situation as much as possible to avoid confusion and annoyance.[2]
In 1988 Christopher Hsee demonstrated the effect in a number of experiments:[1] When both of the following options were offered separately participants preferred the lesser option. However, if they were judged together, participants preferred the other larger or more numerous option. For instance:
- seven ounces of ice cream overflowing in a small cup was preferred over eight ounces of ice cream in a much larger cup
- a dinnerware set with 24 intact pieces was preferred over a dinnerware set of 31 pieces with a few broken pieces
- a smaller dictionary was preferred over a larger dictionary with a torn cover
- participants perceived people giving away a $45 scarf as more generous than those who gave a cheap $55 coat.
Hypothesized causes[edit]
Theoretical causes of the less-is-better effect include:
- counterfactual thinking. A study found that bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists, apparently because silver invites comparison to gold whereas bronze invites comparison to not receiving a medal.[3]
- evaluability heuristic and/or fluency heuristic. Hsee hypothesized that subjects evaluated proposals more highly based on attributes which were easier to evaluate[1] (attribute substitution). Another study found that students preferred funny versus artistic posters according to attributes they could verbalize easily, but the preference was reversed when they did not need to explain a reason[4] (see also introspection illusion).
- representativeness heuristic or judgment by prototype. People judge things according to average of a set more easily than size, a component of extension neglect.[5]

Laura Govan's plan to bring down Jackie Christie blew up in her face on Monday's episode of "Basketball Wives."
Light skin vs. dark skin?
If Laura didn't have enough reason not to like Jackie, she could have more now.
While digging up dirt on her ultimate frienemy, Laura sat down for lunch with Jackie's daughter Chantel. What Laura initially thought was just going to be a recon mission to get some unfavorable info, turned out to be a "f*cked up situation" as Chantel revealed some deep family rifts.
Chantel told Laura that Jackie would constantly compare her and Takari. Supposedly, she would put Takari down for being heavier and darker than her younger sister. The constant competition caused the girls to not speak for a very long time. And Chantel believes the only reason that Jackie talks to them now is to preserve her own public image.
The whole thing was a little too much for Laura to handle.
Gloria gets shot!
We finally got to see Gloria in action as she shot her new web series. Playing a killer is tough. It included slitting a man's throat and getting shot. If any "BBW" star was up to the challenge, it's definitely Gloria, who only had two takes to get the scene down.
Malaysia's totally '80s birthday
Oh, Malaysia Pargo. We know her heart is in the right place when it comes to trying to foster peace and love among her castmates. She just wants everyone to love each other. Unfortunately, some fences may be a little harder to mend than others.
Well, at least Malaysia tried.
Jackie's not really getting along with Draya Michele or Laura, but Laura is on a mission to get revenge on Jackie. Her whole cover was almost blown at Malaysia's old school birthday party when Brooke Bailey tried to get Laura to come clean about her feelings for Jackie.
Let them eat cake
Jackie may have really believed that Laura is her friend, but the other ladies of "BBW" don't like that Laura is beating up her fellow "BBW" vet.
The cast wasn't about to continue letting her get away with campaigning against Jackie. Still, the girls don't want Jackie to be confused: They still don't like her. The cast knows the difference between right and wrong, and they won't stand up for anyone getting bullied.
That means Laura wasn't getting away with anything on Malaysia's birthday. And in an attempt to keep things as peaceful as possible, the usually peace-loving reality star told her girls to shut up and eat some cake.
Leave Jackie alone!
Draya Michele had a sitdown with Gloria about her sister, but she didn't quite get the reaction she'd hoped for. Ideally, Draya would have liked to see Gloria tell her sister to grow up and just stop hanging out with Jackie. Instead, Gloria kind of justified Laura's actions, even though she doesn't agree with the behavior.

Police officer among 5 hurt in Mount Vernon fire
Brandy Shreve / Skagit Valley Herald
A firefighter surveys the fire damage Wednesday to one of the units at the Cascade West Apartments in Mount Vernon. About 38 units of the complex were burnt or suffered water damage in a fire that started late Tuesday night. The fire displaced about 200 residents and injured five, including a man who was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with burns.
City public information officer Shannon Haigh says the officer was arriving at the fire before midnight Tuesday when something exploded and he suffered a minor hand cut.
Three people from the Cascade West apartments were treated for smoke inhalation at Skagit Valley Hospital.
Haigh says a man was found about two hours later and was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with burns to his airway and other parts of the body.
The three-alarm fire caused heavy damage to the top two floors of the three-story building.
About 200 residents have been displaced, and about 75 of them are being sheltered at nearby Skagit Valley College with help from the Red Cross.

Clausen of central police communications said.
The farmer was operating a front end loader that was moving
gravel when it overturned.
The Fire Service freed the man, and he was flown by rescue
helicopter to Wellington Hospital in a moderate condition.
It was unknown how long he was trapped in the crushed cab
before emergency services were advised.
A Wellington Free Ambulance spokesman said the man was
suffering chest and pelvic pain, but he was conscious and
talking to paramedics.
WorkSafe NZ had been advised and would be carrying out an
investigation into the cause of the accident.

Executive Committee of the American Institute of Physics
Minutes of Meeting
May 17, 1951
Present: George R. Harrison (Chairman), Gaylord P. Harnwell, George B. Pegram, H. K. Schilling
Absent: John C. Steinberg
AIP Staff: Henry A. Barton, Wallace Waterfall, B. H. Goodfriend
1. Minutes:
The Secretary reviewed briefly the minutes of the meeting of March 17, 1951 and the minutes were approved as distributed.
2. Student Sections:
The Secretary reported that there is an inconsistency between the procedure set up for student sections and the requirements of our bylaws about admitting associate members. Our approved plan for student sections published in September 1950 PHYSICS TODAY infers that the sections may elect their own members and notify the Institute periodically as to who the members are. Our bylaws, however, require that Associate members be nominated by other members of the Institute and elected according to a certain procedure. It was moved, seconded, and carried that the plan for student sections be changed to conform to our bylaws by advising student sections that they are to nominate members and the AIP will then advise them of their acceptance as Associate Members.
The Secretary reported that several student sections have requested membership cards for their members and that cards like those used for regular associate members would probably be satisfactory with the addition of the year issued. The Committee approved this proposal.
The Secretary presented copy for certificates for student sections and asked the Committee for suggestions. It was the consensus that the certificates be made a little larger than the 8 ½ x 11 proposed and that they be made as attractive as possible.
The Director stated that two groups of less than fifteen each had requested admission as student sections. In accordance with the rule providing that the requirement of fifteen active members in student sections be reduced to ten in cases of institutions which, though small, are known to maintain high academic standards, he proposed for approval the applications of Rhode Island State College and Colgate University. It was the consensus of the executive Committee that these sections be approved. Mr. Barton also presented an application from another institution which does not have fifteen members and which is not accredited by the appropriate regional association and recommended that the application be refused. The Committee agreed.
3. AIP Salaries:
The Secretary presented for the information of the Executive Committee a list of the salaries paid for editorial management of Institute journals. The salaries were reviewed and several changes suggested in the manner in which charges are made but no changes in salary were recommended.
4. Transfer of JCP to the APS:
The Director reported that the Policy Committee of the Institute had recommended some time ago that the responsibility for archive type journals should rest with Member Societies rather than the Institute whenever possible. Since JCP is an archive journal and the APS now has an active Division of Chemical Physics, the possibility of transferring this journal to the APS should be considered. After some discussion, it was moved, seconded, and carried that the Institute staff be empowered to explore further with APS the possibility of the Physical Society's taking over the JCP with the following stipulations:
- APS will not abandon the journal.
- APS will return the journal to the Institute if at some future time they decided they do not want to continue with it.
- A contract similar to the one which now exists for the Physical Review will be made between APS and the AIP covering JCP.
- If the APS should decide to carry advertising in JCP same provision we now have with other Society journals which carry advertising shall be made.
- The APS will agree not to publish in JCP articles which are the primary concern of other Member Society journals.
The staff was instructed to report on the above at the next meeting of the Committee. If APS is interested in taking over JCP a vote of the Governing Board will be taken.
5. Report on First Quarter Operations:
The Director presented figures showing the number of pages used by each of the Institute journals for the first quarter and indicated how they stood with respect to the page budgets established for the year. One of the journals was slightly over its budget and the others somewhat under their budgets. The general situation appears to be satisfactory.
Copies of the first quarter statement of operations were distributed. The Secretary pointed out that the cost per page figures do not agree with the budget established because of the variation in the number of pages published. In general, however, operations for the first quarter are in line with the budget.
6. Future Joint Meetings:
It was pointed out that since the Member Societies plan their meetings several years in advance, the AIP should consider plans for a joint meeting in 1956. After some discussion, it was moved, seconded, and carried that the AIP plan a meeting on the East Coast in 1956 subject to approval by the Member Societies.
7. Meeting with the Optical Society Committee:
It was reported that the Optical Society Committee to draft a new publication agreement with the AIP (see Governing Board Minutes of 3-17-51) had met at the Institute with the Chairman and the Institute staff on May 3.
Details of AIP accounting procedure were explained and discussed and there was also considerable discussion of background history and basic policy. No definite conclusions were reached but it is understood that the Optical Society Committee will draft specific proposals for submission to their Board and also to the Institute.
At the meeting Mr. Brode indicated concern about the publication of articles in AIP journals which he believed should be in JOSA. Examination of some of the articles cited supported his contention. It was the consensus of the Executive Committee that this situation should be thoroughly explored and the following motion was passed:
MOVED that the Publication Board be requested to study fully and submit a written report on competition between AIP and Society journals.
8. Minutes of Meetings:
The Secretary said that there had been several discussions about sending copies of Executive Committee and Governing Board minutes to the Society Secretaries but that he had been given no formal authorization to do so. Accordingly, it was moved, seconded, and carried that the Secretary be instructed to send two copies of all Governing Board and Executive Committee minutes to Secretaries of Member Societies.
9. Appointment of Acting Director:
Since Mr. Barton will be out of the country this summer, it was moved, seconded, and carried that Wallace Waterfall be appointed Acting Director during the absence on leave of the Director for the Summer of 1951.
10. Donors' Tablet:
In view of the difficulties involved in obtaining a satisfactory Donors' Tablet, it was suggested that a Donors' Book be prepared by having the names neatly typed or printed on good paper and found in an attractive leather book. It was the consensus of the Committee that this would be satisfactory and the staff was authorized to proceed accordingly.
11. October Meeting:
The Secretary reported that plans for the Chicago meeting are progressing satisfactorily. The Civic Opera has been rented for the Thursday meeting and plenty of comfortable seats are thus assured. Meeting rooms in the Sherman Hotel should be adequate for the first part of the week but some rooms outside the hotel will be necessary for the latter part. The sale of exhibit booths has been slow but indications are that enough will be sold to cover meeting expenses adequately. The Placement Register will be operated on the lower floor of the exhibit hall.
12. Instrument Society of America:
The Director reported that the Instrument Society of America had made some inquiries regarding the use of RSI as its official publication. There have been several unofficial discussions with ISA members and it is understood that they may propose a conference to explore possibilities. It was the consensus that some mutually satisfactory arrangement may be possible and that we should welcome a conference.
13. Next Meeting:
The date for the next meeting was tentatively set for Tuesday, September 11.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 p.m.

One memorable event I witnessed in hospital many years ago involved a patient who suffered a stroke and was left with severe expressive aphasia. He could only utter, "yes" to questions, requiring careful interpretation if his "yes" really meant "no."
Assuming he was comfortable and didn't need pain medication, for example, underscored the risk of misinterpreting his intended meaning.

Cleans and disinfects
posted 6 years ago
I use PineSol on my 2 bathroom floors as well as on the kitchen floor.
Having had pets most of my adult life, the kitchen and dining room floors get done frequently.
PineSol not only cleans the linoleum, it disinfects as well. I feel safe knowing my cat is eating his treats off a clean surface.
I love the fresh clean scent and will probably continue to use this product for many years to come.
Pros: nice scent
Cons: none

Good, but the smell too strong
posted 6 years ago
While it cleans good, the smell is just too strong for me. I do not think it's good for pets a cleaning stuff so strong smelling. I am more for a natural way of cleaning. I gave it a try, it was good, but just not for us.
Pros: Cleans well
Cons: Smell

What's gotten into Terry this year? So far, he's scooping up HS pitchers (and position players) and leaving the college arms on the board.Originally Posted by princeton
Never overlook the obvious
either he was due, gm or he's trying out a reverse Costanza. I'm hoping for the latter
I'm sorry for the pessimism. I don't believe that being a fan requires liking every move they make. If being pessimistic means that I question a drafting philosophy that hasn't worked for just about anyone over the past several decades, then I'm sorry I'm a pessimist. If being a pessimist means I want the team to change the way they do things that has resulted in not developing a single starting pitcher in 15 years, then I'm guilt on all counts. I plan on being around RedsZone for a long time.Originally Posted by Clemson
Believe me, I don't WANT to be pessimistic. I would love nothing more than to be optimistic (like I was after last year's draft) about the draft. But I don't think it's fair to call people *absurd* because they don't agree with the drafting philosophy of current management. It's a reasonable opinion and one shared by many people who have spent a lot of time over the years studying this stuff.

Maybe the Dodgers success with high school talent recently has turned minds
I think both organizations are well-run (and I was one who wanted the Reds to hire Wayne Krivsky this offseason). That said, the main difference is the A's turned their ship around in the course of three years while it took the Twins seven to eight seasons to do it. As a fan, I much prefer the quicker turnaround.Originally Posted by Aronchis
BTW, going back to something that was discussed at the start of this thread, if the Reds had a deeper farm system, I'd be much more inclined to speculate with the #1 pick. Problem is the team specualted in 1999, 2001 and 2002.

MWM, I didn't mean to call you personally absurd, just as you weren't juding individual players talent as opposed to the philosophy of drafting them. I was juyst frustated by the fact that we cant judge a draft before we ever see the guys on a field. whether we get everyone we think we want or not, we won't know how we did untila few years down the road, when hopefully we'll all be here to celebrate on redsZone.
pessimism is totally fine, but on a thing such as the draft we can't judge until its well over a few years down the road
Excellent point.Originally Posted by NC Reds
Another HS arm (again, one I like). IMO they ought to gobble up some college pitchers in the coming rounds just so they can field a team in Billings this season.
BTW, here's a guy I'm hoping the Reds draft - "3B Beau Mills, Fresno State's top recruit, is the son of former big leaguer Brad Mills, now a coach with the Red Sox. Mills has the requisite baseball savvy and a solid lefthanded bat, generating good bat speed. He showed off his raw power potential in 2003 by hitting three balls into McCovey Cove at then-Pac Bell Park in San Francisco, when his father's Expos came through on a road trip "

That's a different argument altogether that I don't want to get into on this thread, but I disagree strongly with that. The A's have lost a lot more than the Twins over the years, yet they've continued to win their division. And they have more in htepipeline than do the Twins.Originally Posted by Cedric
The Twins have been to the playoffs twice, both times benefitting from playing in a very poor division. In 2002, they were the only team over .500 in their division. In 2003, there were 3 teams over .500, but they were the only team more than 10 games over .500.
The Twins would not have made the playoffs either year playing the AL West. In both years, they would have been in third place (and only one game out of 4th in 2002).

My question is are you guys all actually A's fans? Do you root for them? Just wondering.
Here are some more HS vs college pitcher facts:
David Schoenfield reported, among other things, the following:
From 1985 through 1997, 93 pitchers from four-year colleges were drafted in the first round, and 72 of them (77.4 percent) have reached the majors.
From 1985 through 1997, 61 pitchers from high schools were drafted in the first round, and 35 of them (57.3 percent) have reached the majors.
The college pitchers who have reached the majors have thrown more innings with a lower ERA than the high-school pitchers who have reached the majors.
Over that same 13-year span, only one high-school first-rounder (Kerry Wood) has a career ERA under 4.00; 16 college first-rounders do.

LHH 3rd baseman? Nice. With the Red's IF luck, he'd probably project as a 1bman. Got any info on his defensive abilities? Hopefully he'd become "Willie Green with a clue"Originally Posted by M2
Never overlook the obvious
Nope. I don't root for the A's at all. I tend to be anti-West Coast (except for the Padres). I'll admit, I somewhat wanted to see the A's win at least a post-season series over the last couple of years, so ridiculous comments about how his approach doesn't work would stop. But I have no love for the A's, other than that.

Eco-retreat combines glamping with monster spotting
January 29, 2013
Set amid the backdrop of the stunning Great Glen landscape in Scotland, this holiday destination can be summed up in two words – "glamping" and "Nessie." As you might guess, Loch Ness Glamping is a luxury camping spot for those hoping to catch of glimpse of the elusive creature said to frequent the deep waters of the loch. If the monster spotting doesn't go to plan (and let's face it, that's highly likely) you can return to "roughing-it" in your private eco-retreat complete with under-floor heating.
Located near Drumnadrochit on Loch Ness, the accommodation facility is home to several independent wooden retreats called "Armadillas." Each cabin features comfy sofas that convert into bedding for sleeping, a private bathroom, kitchenette, flat screen TV and ample storage space.
The cabins open out onto private outdoor patios, allowing guests to sit under the stars at night and enjoy the silence that comes with a remote camping experience. In cooler seasons, the area is known for its chilly weather patterns and thus under-floor heating has been installed into the huts, providing a true "glamp" out.
Loch Ness Glamping offers access to a range of outdoor activities, including extensive walking tracks, biking, exploring ancient castles, white water rafting, caving, tree climbing, diving, skiing, snowboarding and, of course, monster spotting.
A night in an Armadillas cabin will set you back £55.00 (US$88.75) for two people.

As I get older, glamping is more appealing.BigGoofyGuy
We stayed here last year when the 'hobbit homes' were much more basic. Better security than a tent, windproof, waterproof, and far more fun as there's no messing about trying to pitch a tent. Looks to have been well refurbished, though Drum is miles from civilisation...but that's ok as you are right on the edge Loch ness. Glamping is the way to go. Just watch out for the midges.cootuk
I call this "Condo Camping", nothing at all to do with real camping. You might as well be in a Hotel if what you want is comfort. This is a glorified hunting camp. If that's what you want and no more than you're good. Hopefully it comes with a great view? That's what this would be good for!Dennis Barrett
Certainly one of the most attractive of the new breed of eco-cottages I've seen. Very reminiscent of the hull of a wooden boat.yrag

Resurgent Tigers eye lead vs Barako Bull
MANILA, Philippines—Playing well despite many off-court distractions, Powerade shoots for a third straight win and a share of the PBA Commissioner's Cup lead when the Tigers battle skidding Barako Bull Friday at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay.
Gametime is 7:30 p.m. with a victory lifting the Tigers on top with idle defending champion Talk 'N Text while pushing the Energy closer to elimination in the short tournament.
Meralco, one of three teams at the bottom of the 10-team field with a 1-3 record like Barako Bull, also tries to snap out of a slump earlier when it clashes with formid-able Alaska and Adam Parada in the 5:15 p.m. opener.
Powerade, which is set to be sold at the end of the season, won its first two games as the Tigers' Big Three of Gary David and rookies JV Casio and Marcio Lassiter picked up from where they left off in the Philippine Cup, where they finished a fighting second.
"Playing decent defense in every game is what we are aiming for," said Powerade coach Bo Perasol. "If we can achieve that, I don't think we will have any problems in the games ahead."
Only six teams will advance to the playoffs after a single round, making each game for every team vital from this point on.
On Sunday, the Tigers will tangle with Ginebra and new import Jackson Vroman, a talented naturalized center for Lebanon, who was signed by the Gin Kings just days before an offer from Talk 'N Text arrived.
Now, Talk 'N Text is awaiting the arrival of Donnell Harvey, the top rebounder in the recent Chinese pro league, to take over from Omar Samhan as its import.
Harvey, at just 6-foot-8, averaged 24 points and 14 rebounds for the Tianjin R, making coach Chot Reyes excited about their title-retention chances.
The seeming reluctance of Harvey to board a plane to Manila, however, worries Reyes. The import was originally scheduled to arrive last Wednesday after the Texters pounded out a 102-96 upset of B-Meg despite playing all-Filipino.
"Nothing is sure until he arrives," Reyes said.
Plan B would be for the Texters to sign a certain Herbert Hill in case Harvey gets cold feet about coming over because of reported tempting offers from Europe.
Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio, meanwhile, does not care who their opponents are and is more concerned about cohesion in his squad more than anything else.
"Right now, I am more concerned about our game more than our opponent, said the mutititled Gregorio. "That is something within our control."

Most characters did not get better overall after the New 52 started.
Superman is not an exception to this rule.
The only one I can think of who did, is... Hmm... Aquaman. That's about it.

Superman's only improvement was the costume. But let's be honest, it's not like Superman comics were very good Pre-New 52.
The problem is his usual problems haven't really gone away (too powerful, boring, etc.), while some of the traditional elements that loyalists have come back for have been removed (outside-underwear, Lois Lane relationship, etc.). This may have alienated some readers.
Really the biggest problem that I see though is the storytelling has just been mediocre compared to other books. Batman, Wonder Woman, and even Green Lantern and Flash have had more interesting runs so far. The upcoming Snyder-Lee collaboration is really S-Man's last hope in the immediate future.

Hmm..guess I'm a minority here. I think Supes is a bit better. The character is more a "social justice" character, kinda going back to his roots. I think we see him far more emotionally vulnerable than we have in the past. He even "killed Clark Kent" because he isn't sure exactly how he fits into the world.He feels more isolated than the past incarnations. While we don't have a firm grip on how powerful he is compared to the pre-52 version..or even John Byrne's version, I don't see how anyone can still think he's "too perfect" If anything, I think they may have over-compensated to make sure he isn't.
I agree Action isn't as good as it was at first, but I can think of plenty of worse comics.
And Supes, for whatever reason, still makes the best "Elseworld" "MIni-series" ":Maxi-Series" character.
@Manwhohaseverything: I agree.
I didn't read Superman pre52. I haven't read Superman in while now, unless it's part of a crossover event or a TPB like Allstar Superman. All in all, I've liked what Morrision has done so far with Action Comics.
- I love this relationship Superman has with Mrs. Nyxly, the imp from the 5th dimension who became the landlord/ladylady in the apartment building where Clark Kent first lived. Yes it's rough around the edges, but in regards to Action Comics, her role in the book allows Morrison to weave a quirky non-linear story. I wish they didn't kill her off. Rather then getting stuck with cliche drawn out linear story we can jump around to different points in Superman's life. Yes it's rough around the edges and not every story is good, but I like the direction of the comic overall.
- The "social justice" Superman is one of the best parts of the new Superman. My only problem is that because this version of Superman wears a t-shirt and jeans at the beginning of his career, they took Kon-El's awesome outfit away. Essentially they stole Superboy's outfit and gave it to Superman. Truthfully, I'd prefer it if they found a way to allow both Supermen to use the costume. Superman at the beginning of his career and Superboy permanently
- I also like the story about how Superman got his suit and cape, what happened to his rocket, and how Krypto was there on Krypton at the beginning of his life and how he came into his life on earth. These milestones, as simple as they might seem, really some of the most intergral highlights of his career.
- I really hate how they have used John Henry Irons character. He was in a position to get this great origin and they screwed it up,on purpose I assume. He was a researcher studying Superman's rocket for the military. This was an improvement. Supposedly they could have said he created his suit by reverse engineering the technology from the rocket, but instead we find out he is making this high tech suit in his apartment? Sometimes it seems to me that they go out of their way to undermine the development of good black characters.
I haven't read Superboy or Supergirl because I heard they were really bad so can't really comment there. I did try Superman #1 and it was dreadful.

I think they're stilling finding their footing with Superman, like a lot of the DCnU characters, but he has gotten better and the things that need to be fixed can be fixed as he matures. His personality needs to be tweaked here and there, and experiences will allow that to happen.
@TheCannon said:
Superman sucked in every single way Pre-52. Anyone who says otherwise is trolling. The New 52 fixed the character. Sure, he still might be a little overpowered, but it's still an amazing character and comic.
So, having a different opinion is trolling. Wow

not really sure if better, but I'm loving New 52 Superman family (Supes, Superboy, Supergirl)
I like them all. actually prefer them to most Bat family stuff, and actually to most other stuff. the only thing that manages to give a good fight is Aquaman, the JL/JLD, and Sword of Sorcery

@TheCannon Pre-52 Superman was better...Call me a troll if you wish but if that is trolling then I'm proud to confess. Only thing that improved is his suit.
@TheCannon Your wrong. You are Intitled to have your opinion but your just plane wrong. Pre-52 Superman had some bad story's yes all comic characters do but to say he is just out right bad is just pure bull. Pre-52 superman was and is a great character and his story's where ten times better than the first 12 issues of the New 52 superman. The new 52 title only got good after lobdell and rockafort jumped on it.

Superman sucked in every single way Pre-52. Anyone who says otherwise is trolling. The New 52 fixed the character. Sure, he still might be a little overpowered, but it's still an amazing character and comic.
So anyone who disagrees with you is trolling? Seriously, you're always like this. You need to start learning that your opinions are not facts.
I pretty much can't disagree (too much) with anything in the video. His characterization in the new52 has been disappointing IMO. Maybe he's gotten a little better since the start, but still so different from pre-52. He's not embodying the same themes he did before.
