���� My Promise Today.
����� It�may not seem like much, but over a period of time it�may make a slight�difference in the grand�scheme of things. I believe if everyone made a slight difference in their lives for the sake of the environment�it will eventually make a Big�difference.�*Hopefully, I can convince other people who are�in my life�to do the same thing.
��� I Promise today, to find alternative cleaning agents for around the house. I am going to find natural solutions for all of my household needs. So far, in the last bit, I have replaced a lot of products. But I still need a replacement for laundry soap, wooden furniture polish, as well as an alternative for my hardwood floors. (They get dull and lifeless if I do not take care of them.�If Anyone in here has a solution,�please let me know.)
Love & Light,

My son and I are going to go buy 20 Gardenia Bushes, and plant them around the house. Then we are cleaning out the house recycling and giving things that we no longer need to people who need it.
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time........................ Now, where to put the body? Kidding
My daughter , Cady and I are going for a walk to see the Lady that I care for....� we are taking a garbage bag to clean up litter on the path that we take.

I haven't had a lot of time to address this in group thread lately.
Here is my daily promise.
�Today & everyday, I promise to leave as little�of a footprint as possible.�
�Last year I went 100% organic in my yard & garden.
�I have switched 98% of my house hold cleaners to natural eco-friendly cleaners.
�I'm currently working on converting all of my personal hygiene items to all natural, eco-friendly products. (Getting my hubby to use different items...Maybe that will come sooner rather than later.)These include trying to make some on my own. So I may reuse packaging. Like bottles & such.
�That taps in on my biggest struggle, reusing more items, instead of just�recycling them...
�All of which I�work on daily.
�I also promise to share what I know with others. Of course I do these things anyway. But I promise. Here it is in writting for all to see.
Love to you,
�Crystal D.
I honestly feel guilty, if I don't do ALL of my clicks everyday. (takes me almost an hour...)
I went to the mountains with my husbands family last year. I could not get to a computer for a week. I didn't like, not being able to do my clicks.� �(Everyone deserves a vacation. I just felt like, I wasn't doing something I knew I should be doing.)
AWWWWWW Tera that is so wonderfulwould you post the flowers when they bloom? I love Sunflowers they are one of my summer favorites
my jasmine is in full bloom rt now I'll take a picture and put it on tomarrow but rt now its bed time!
Yes I will. I've never planted sunflowers before....I'm not sure when they will bloom. I was given the seeds by MeMe's mom. She's the one that suggested that the Sunflowers would be the best to plant for them. Now I'm going to have to look up the way to care for them, but they are worth all my time. I'm going to have to plant one in your honor Joan!!! I love you!
well Wickie I am honored, And I love you too!!!
My promise today Is to bring all my metal recycling to the recycling place and also I have tons of little trees comming up in my yard I am going to put them in little pots and give them away to be planted
hi i just got an email with care2 and stumbled across your group. was feeling sad tonight so it was nice to see there is still people out there who care about our earth and are doing simple things to make a not so simple difference.
To the girl who wanted a wood floor polish my grandmother used to make a gorgeous polish out of eucalyptus oil, lavender oil and grated bees wax.

Help protect Ecuador from Ascendant Copper Corporation
In May of 2004 Ascendant Copper illegally purchased the Junin mining concession in the Intag region of Ecuador�s Toisan Range, one of the world's most biologically diverse areas. The impact of mining in the region would include relocation of hundreds of families, contamination of rivers and streams with heavy metals, and massive deforestation which would impact the habitat of dozens of mammals and birds facing extinction. In order to gain financing and legitimacy for this corrupt project, the company has applied for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Please send a message to the Toronto Stock Exchange asking them to fully investigate Ascendant Exploration, and its parent company, Ascendant Exploration Holdings before making a decision to list the company

House Bill Proposes Savage Cuts in Land Protection Funding
U.S. House of Representatives
203 Cannon House Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20515-0001
Subject: Interior Appropriations bill
Dear Representative Paul:
I write in regard to the Interior Appropriations bill. Of greatest concern to me is the fact that the bill reported by the committee essentially zeroes out funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and drastically reduces funding for the Forest Legacy Program.
Taken together, these two programs are the best tools available to us to ensure that burgeoning population and sprawl do not consume our most important environmental and recreational lands. It is profoundly shortsighted to gut these programs at a time when sprawl accelerates.
I also urge you to support several conservation amendments likely to be offered during floor debate. One, an amendment by Reps. Chabot and Andrews, would eliminate the outrageous subsidy taxpayers give to logging companies by paying for new logging roads in America's largest national forest, the Tongass in Alaska.
The Tongass is a wonderland of wildlife habitat, important to fishers, hunters, Native people and local communities. More roads and clearcuts can only harm them. Already the Tongass has more than 5,000 miles of roads and the timber available from existing roads is more than adequate to supply local mills.
Last year, taxpayers spent $48 million for logging and road building on the Tongass, but took in only $800,000 from logging companies in return. Over the next decade, if the Forest Service carries out its logging plans, the cost could exceed $1.2 billion. It is long past time to stop subsidizing timber companies to ravage one of our great national treasures.
Here are other amendments I strongly urge you to support:
- One by Rep. Alcee Hastings to help to help ensure environmental justice for low-income and minority communities; and - One by Reps. Bart Stupak and Clay Shaw to prevent the EPA from making final its proposed weakened sewage dumping policy.
Thank you for your consideration.

Save Belize's Rainforest from Fortis' proposed dam
The Macal River Valley in western Belize is one of the most pristine and fragile habitats in Central America. It is home to more than a dozen rare and endangered species, including the jaguar, tapir, howler monkey, and the Scarlet Macaw -- fewer than 200 of these birds are left in Belize. Plans by Fortis Inc., a Canadian company based in Newfoundland, to build a hydro-electric dam in this unique habitat could destroy this wildlife haven forever -- unless you act now.
SIGN OUR PETITION to save Belize's Rainforest from Fortis' proposed dam!
Geological problems continue to plague construction--Fortis refuses to release final designs, hydrological studies or cost of dam project.� Meanwhile, destruction of wildlife is rampant, with no sign of legally-mandated wildlife studies.
Ask Fortis to tell the full truth now: Take Action
World Conservation Congress Demands Accounting on Chalillo Dam
In November 2004, more than sixty countries, and hundreds of conservation organizations at the World Conservation Congress in Bangkok Thailand passed an international resolution calling on the government of Belize to establish an independent commission to investigate the economic and environmental impacts of the Chalillo project.� To date, Fortis and the government of Belize have shrouded construction in secrecy and refuse to allow investigation into wildlife or economic impacts.
January 2004 Privy Council split decision allows dam construction to continue:� bacongo-adv-decision.rtf

Does CO2 Cause Global Warming?
The planet's temperature increased 1.5 degrees C since the mid 19th century, two-thirds of which occurred before 1940, when carbon dioxide emissions by humans were minimal. Since 1979, carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels have risen 19%; yet the planet cooled 0.09 degree C during that period. One must seriously ask how the earth's temperature rose before human-caused CO2 was put into the atmosphere? This is a case of an effect coming before the cause.
The chief hothouse gas is water vapor-not carbon dioxide or methane. It accounts for over 90% of global heat retention. Currently, human activity puts about 6 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year. Non-human activity, mostly volcanoes, accounts for about 200 billion tons. Human activity, then, constitutes 2-3% of carbon dioxide, which itself is less than 10% of the total. As professor of physics at Purdue University L. van Zandt said in the National Review:
Human activity, carried out at the present rate indefinitely (more than 12 years) cannot possibly account for more than 6 per cent of the observed change in CO2 levels. Entirely shutting off civilization-or even killing everybody-could only have a tiny effect on global warming, if there is any such thing.1 He went on to say:
Why do all these supposedly educated, supposedly sane people want to end civilization? Since humanity can't possibly be causing the CO2 level to go up, isn't it time to start wondering about what is?

Global non-governmental organizations spend 80% more on accounting and finance operations and staff than comparable multinationals. One reason for that disparity might be because funding for global non-governmental organizations usually is aimed at specific programs and not general operations. Thus, these entities struggle to establish more efficient, integrated operations.

I'm mostly a lurker, occasional poster. Both of my kids have mild SPD, my older one motor planning difficulty and my little one is a seeker. Toddler boy squared. Both have started new schools this year. DD is in kindergarten and DS is in his first year of preschool. He's been at a drop-off group through Early Intervention for the last 4 months, though, so it's not his first separation experience and he knows the school and teacher from my DD.
Anyway, DD has had two accidents at school so far. She tends to dehydrate herself, so I was a little surprised to hear this. Then she came home dry one day so I praised her on peeing at school, and she said, "I didn't." She had woken up early that day, so that means she went from 5:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. without peeing. Eek! And my DS, well, I know he's little (though he ws trained early), but yikes, he is a mess. Nearly every day he's having at least one accident, often more. Once even poop, which he hasn't done in months since we took him off Miralax. Is this type of regression common? How long did your kids take to adjust?

ClassicsOnline Home » Clarinet Ensemble Music - PIAZZOLLA, A. / HARBISON, J. / SCHULLER, G. / PERSICHETTI, V. (Schoen, Ardan, Morales, Paradise) (Clarinet Hive)
Taking its name from Evan Ziporyn's Hive, which grew out of the composer's experience as a beekeeper, this album brings together an engaging selection of pieces for solo clarinet and clarinet ensembles of various sizes. From Piazzolla's popular tangos to Harbison's Bach/Stravinsky-inspired Trio Sonata, Schuller's Duo Sonata and Barker's Single Six, both jazz-inflected yet classical in spirit, to Persichetti's lyrical Serenade, Clarinet Hive is an endlessly fascinating showcase of the clarinet's expressive and virtuosic potential, as well as its wide range of subtle sonorities.
Balaam's Music
Clarinet Hive: Astor Piazzolla (1921–92) • John Harbison (b. 1938) • Gunther Schuller (b. 1925)
Thomas E. Barker (1954–88) • Vincent Persichetti (1915–87) • Evan Ziporyn (b. 1959)
Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992), arr. for clarinet quartet by Bruce Edwards: Histoire du Tango
Throughout its history, the tango experienced dramatic changes in its musical evolution and public perception. Rooted in the milonga and Cuban habanera rhythm, the tango was born as a risqu é dance in the slums and brothels of Buenos Aires. It gradually moved to the upper échelons of society, eventually becoming a national music for Argentina that symbolized social mobility and success. Musical influences include the waltz, rag-time, jazz, and, notably, the innovations of Astor Piazzolla. As a bandoneonist and composer immersed in the tango world, Piazzolla aspired to sophisticate the genre while maintaining its essence. His resulting tango nuevo launched the tango into the world of concert music. Histoire du Tango (1985), originally written for flute and guitar, outlines historical periods of the tango in four movements. The first, Bordel 1900, incorporates a light, lively character with prominent habanera rhythm, echoing the quick-paced early tango. Café 1930 is markedly slower, embracing the nostalgic melodies of the tango's golden age and social reclassification. Nightclub 1960 expands the tango's musical palette with increased rhythmic complexities and jazz influences. Finally, Concert d'aujourd'hui (Concert of Today), integrates dissonance and replaces previous lyrical melodies with more angular lines. It synthesizes the tango with twentieth-century art music, representing Piazzolla's tango nuevo.
John Harbison (b. 1938): Trio Sonata
John Harbison is one of America's foremost composers and the recipient of numerous awards and distinctions including the Pulitzer Prize for music, the Heinz Award, and the prestigious title of Institute Professor for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has taught since 1969. A prolific composer in a variety of mediums and genres, his style is often viewed as eclectic, open to every musical resource available. Influences include jazz, serialism, and neo-classicism, with Stravinsky and especially Bach predominantly impacting his compositional style. Trio Sonata (1994) is no exception, with its four short movements referring to, as Harbison attests, "oblique Baroque types". Harbison composed Trio Sonata as a chamber music conductor in an effort to create a work that would be suitable for virtually any instrumental combination and therefore practical for teaching chamber groups of non-traditional configurations. Trio Sonata's concise motivic designs, syncopation, and chromatic harmonic language create a light, free character that is at times quirky and humorous, as underscored by Harbison's tempo specifications for each movement: "1. Fast, 2. Fast, 3. Fast, 4. Fast". Its unencumbered spirit is an example of Harbison's nonpretentious approach to composition, in which he eschews the personal and self-absorption.
Gunther Schuller (b. 1925): Duo Sonata for Clarinet and Bass Clarinet
Gunther Schuller is an icon in the pantheon of American composers with vast and impressive accomplishments as a writer, performer, conductor, producer, publisher and educator. He is perhaps best known for incorporating jazz into his works and developing "Third Stream," a term he invented in a 1957 speech to describe works that embraced a style that fused elements of classical and jazz music but did not fit neatly in either mainstream. His chief jazz influence is Duke Ellington, but others include Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Schuller has also been influenced by Reger, Debussy, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Messiaen, and, most significantly, Schoenberg and the Second Viennese School. Duo Sonata (1949) adopts an early twentieth-century atonal approach in its first two movements. Schuller sets up intervallic gaps and fills them in chromatically in the first movement, which is fugal and contrapuntal in design, and triadically in the second, which alludes to a Classical homophonic texture. The last movement strongly suggests a unifying key area with playful arpeggios outlining triads related by semitonal voice-leading. In this recording, the B flat bass clarinet substitutes for the A bass clarinet with a transposed part, thus retaining the proper pitch relationships between movements.
Vincent Persichetti (1915–1987): Serenade No. 13, Op. 95, for Two Clarinets
American composer Vincent Persichetti completed a total of fifteen serenades for band, orchestra, piano, tuba, and diverse chamber ensembles. His appetite for a variety of mediums matched his propensity to absorb, apply, and assimilate the different styles and techniques available from past and present music. Consequently, he has been compared to a plethora of composers and criticized for eclecticism. Persichetti acknowledged that his music defies categorization into periods and embraced his eclectic style as a "creative advantage". Despite his artistic diversity, Persichetti heeded maintaining musical unity within a work to express an overall idea or mood and revealed an idea shared among his Serenades, describing them as "'love' pieces, usually of the night: small pieces of a certain lyric, under-the-window quality, that had precedence with Mozart and Brahms". Serenade No. 13 (1963), commissioned by and given its première at The Chapin School in New York City, evokes this atmosphere in seven movements, each demonstrating similar unifying techniques, including motivic variation with rhythmic and pitch alterations, embellishment, phrase extension, and note repetition through octave displacement. Although the movements exude distinct individual characters ranging from lighthearted to reflective to purposeful, they complement one another and combine to convey the work's essence.

Thomas E. Barker (1954–1988): Single Six
Thomas E. Barker composed Single Six for Theodore A. Schoen in August 1982. The first performance took place shortly thereafter in October at Carnegie Recital Hall. The work was one of four pieces written for Schoen during Barker's life, the others being; CCI for Bass Clarinet and Baritone Saxophone; Mark VI for Saxophone Quartet; and Double Concerto for Bass Clarinet, Trombone, and Chamber Orchestra (Blackhawk). Barker, rarely lacking in inspiration, composed quickly; the matrix of the set for Single Six was completed in nine hours. In his program notes for the première Barker said that: "The work falls into six sections, which has nothing to do with the title mind you, based on a common hexachord. This hexachord suffers several mathematical abuses in each section, but all of these manipulations come from the same source." The hexachord is comprised of the pitches B-flat, A, C-flat, A-flat, D-flat, and C. After the initial opening on B-flat, the lowest pitch possible for an extended range bass clarinet, each of the remaining five sections begin on the next respective pitch of the hexachord. Even though his works are technically, rhythmically and mathematically complex, the influence of the jazz of John Coltrane and especially Eric Dolphy is evident in all of Barker's works for bass clarinet, including Single Six.
Evan Ziporyn (b. 1959): Hive
Evan Ziporyn composed Hive on a commission from Theodore Schoen. The world première was held at the 2008 International Clarinet Association Convention with Laura Ardan, David Krakauer, Theodore Schoen, and Evan Ziporyn as performers. Ziporyn has the following to say about the work: "Hive grows out of my experience as an amateur bee-keeper, in both sound and structure. Honey-bee society predates our own, and in many ways the encounter with the apis is like encountering extraterrestrials, full of shocking similarities and profound differences. Hive is not strictly programmatic, but it does contain elements that come directly out of this encounter. For example, happy bees seem to vibrate a collective "A"; when agitated, this rises to a "C": this is the source of the opening oscillations in the music. The overall shape of the piece—swirls and flight patterns, frenzied accruals, followed by a long, zen-like stasis—mirrors the larger life-cycle of the hive, where the summer's buzz of activity is followed by a unique quasi-hibernation, the throng bundling together for warmth and protection, patiently vibrating their way through the winter. Recording the piece in frozen Minnesota during January, this seemed especially apt."

US stocks rise: Less on Fed chatter, more on economy
NEW YORK—Wall Street got back to focusing on the economy instead of the Federal Reserve on Tuesday, sending stocks higher.
Four reports showed a brightening US economy. Housing and manufacturing continued to improve, and consumer confidence hit its highest level in 5 1/2 years.
The major US stock indexes closed higher, with the Dow Jones industrial average shooting up 100.75 points, or 0.7 percent, to 14,760.31. The Standard & Poor's index rose 14.94 points, or 1 percent, to 1,588.03.
The triple-digit rise in the Dow continues a bout of market volatility caused by investors and traders who are worried about the Fed ending its economic stimulus. Last Wednesday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said he expects the Fed to end its bond buying by the middle of 2014 if it feels the economy can manage without that stimulus.
The Dow then plunged by triple digits on three of the next four trading days, with investors worried that the market would struggle without the Fed propping it up.
Some investors have concluded that the recent sell-offs were overblown. Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial, guessed that shorter-term traders were the ones buying stocks Tuesday because they judged that parts of the market were "oversold."
Long-term investors are likely still sitting on the sidelines, waiting for further signs that markets are becoming less volatile, she said.
Among the biggest gainers were big dividend payers like phone and power companies. These are stocks that have been hit the hardest by the recent sell-off.
The big economic reports Tuesday revealed:
—Orders for durable goods rose 3.6 percent in May, matching April's gain. The gauge is important because U.S. manufacturing has generally struggled this year as demand for American exports slows in other parts of the world.
—Home prices rose 2.5 percent in April compared with March, the biggest month-over-month gain since 2000, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller index of 20 cities.
— The Conference Board's consumer confidence index jumped to 81.4 in June, the best reading since January 2008. The May reading, however, was revised down to 74.3 from the original estimate of 76.2.
— Sales of new homes rose in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 476,000, the Commerce Department said. That was the fastest pace since July 2008. Though sales of new homes remain below the 700,000 annual rate that most economists consider healthy, the pace has jumped 29 percent from a year ago.
Ben Schwartz, chief market strategist at Lightspeed Financial in Chicago, described Tuesday as a day for the market to stabilize after the recent big plunges. But he predicted that the market could be volatile for the rest of the year, and others said they thought the stock indexes had already reached their high points.
The fact that the second quarter ends on Friday will also likely complicate the market's performance this week. Money managers may pull out because they need to book gains for clients.
The stronger economic news for the US led investors to sell US government bonds, a sign that they're more comfortable putting money in stocks. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, a benchmark for many types of loans, rose to 2.6 percent from 2.54 percent late Monday. That's part of a longer-term trend: Investors have been selling bonds in anticipation of the Fed winding down its bond-buying program.
The price of gold slipped $2 to $1,275.10 an ounce, and the price of crude oil rose 14 cents to $95.32 a barrel.
Among stocks making big moves:
—Walgreen, the nation's largest drugstore chain, slipped after reporting earnings and revenue that missed analysts' expectations. Walgreen's stock fell $2.83, or nearly 6 percent, to $45.22.
—Barnes & Noble plunged after reporting a loss that more than doubled in the latest quarter. The bookseller struggled to compete with online retailers and its Nook e-book continued to lose money. The stock fell $3.21, or more than 17 percent, to $15.61.
—Clothing chain Men's Wearhouse rose after saying it had fired executive chairman George Zimmer, the company's founder and star of its TV commercials, because he had advocated for "significant changes that would enable him to regain control," according to the company. The stock rose $2, or nearly 6 percent, to $37.13.—Christina Rexrode

TORONTO (ICIS)--Rhodia plans to develop a project using bagasse-based biomass to generate electricity at a 70 megawatt (MW) cogeneration power plant in ?xml:namespace>
Rhodia said it had agreed with
Paraiso had committed to supplying Rhodia with all bagasse and other sugar cane solid waste on an exclusive basis to power the cogeneration unit, Rhodia added.
Most of the electricity generated by the cogeneration unit would be sold to the local grid, Rhodia said.
The project, to be undertaken by Rhodia's energy services business, was an important step in Rhodia's strategy to leverage its expertise in energy optimisation and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction into a growing biomass-to-energy business, it said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Dow Chemical announced a project to use eucalyptus wood biomass to help power and supply steam at its Aratu chemical complex in

Three top Lashkar-e-Toiba militants were among the five ultras killed in three separate encounters with security forces in Kashmir Valley on Wednesday.
Acting on a tip off, police assisted by the army, cordoned off Satkoji area near Zachaldara in Kupwara, 80 km from here. The militants hiding in the forest opened fire at the joint search party and in the ensuing encounter, three foreign militants owing allegiance to LeT were killed, a police spokesman said.
One of the slain militants has been identified as Abu Hamza, a top LeT Pakistani militant.
Another militant was killed in a gunfight with security forces at Trikanjan in Baramulla district, 90 km from here, this morning, the spokesman said.
Security forces also resumed operation this morning to flush out militants hiding in Khrew forests in Pulwama district of South Kashmir and recovered body of a militant, a defence ministry spokesman said.
The gunbattle broke out on Tuesday when security forces launched an operation in the area in which a security personnel was injured.
The operation was suspended last evening due to darkness after which security forces sealed all exit points to prevent escape of hiding militants.
As the day broke, security forces resumed the operation and body of a militant was recovered, he said, adding, the operation was still going on when last reports came in.

Epistemology (ἐπιστήμη,episteme|knowledge, understanding|| λόγος, logos|study of) is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope of knowledge[1][2] and is also referred to as "theory of knowledge".
It questions what knowledge is and how it can be acquired, and the extent to which knowledge pertinent to any given subject or entity can be acquired. Much of the debate in this field has focused on the philosophical analysis of the nature of knowledge and how it relates to connected notions such as truth, belief, and justification. The term "epistemology" was introduced by the Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier (1808–1864).[3] Background and meaning[edit]

Ladle on luxury in guest room
Creating an inviting and luxurious guest room is easy. It's all in the details.
Pamper your guests with freshly-scented linens, a comfortable mattress, high-thread-count sheets (450-500 thread count or higher), down comforters, pillows and quilts. Have extra pillows, blankets and linens available. Keep throw pillows to a minimum.
Soft lighting is conducive to sleep. Use dimmers, lamps at bedside or desk and night lights in hallways and bathrooms. Thick drapes at windows will help control light and sound levels for sleeping.
Fragrances of fresh flowers, candles and aromatherapy further relax the senses. Just remember, too many scents can be overpowering and distracting.
Guests need storage. Clean out closets and drawers and freshen them with sachets and drawer liners. (Fabric sheets work well as a cheaper alternative.) Provide baskets for clothing and accessories, luggage racks or benches, a hamper or plastic bag for dirty clothes and hangars.
In the bathroom, prepare a basket of toiletries, bath lotions and salts for pampering.
Welcome your guests with a basket of treasures for their stay, including journals, local maps, travel books, tickets to local events, restaurant gift certificates, a classic novel and a disposable camera.
Offer a tray filled with coffees and teas, and a small coffee and tea pot. Add snacks, fresh fruit and nuts.
All of these things will give your guests a luxurious "5-star hotel room" experience in your home.

Angels first baseman Kendrys Morales did some straight-line running again today, running through first base on a lower field. But he still hasn't run at full speed or made any turns on his recovering ankle.
The Angels have targeted Sunday as the latest Morales could start playing in games and be ready for Opening Day. That window is about to close with Morales yet to run the bases in a workout.
"Obviously we're at a point now where it's a probability it's going to impact the start of the season. But we just want him healthy," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
The Angels continue to explore their options at first base. Howie Kendrick started there Friday. Bobby Wilson gets a start at first today.
The likely Opening Day starter at first base, Mark Trumbo, took batting practice, infield and did some light running today. Trumbo hasn't played since leaving Wednesday's game with tightness in the area of his groin muscle and right hip flexor. But he could be back in the lineup within the next couple days.

Is it possible for an anchor to glide out from where its dropped in for a 5-1 scope? SAIL magazine''s New Gear section said that the Flook Anchor, an 11-pound pantograph (?) anchor does this, making it possible to set a second anchor or to kedge without moving the boat or launching the dinghy or walking it out, for that matter, I suppose. Its a bit pricey at $94, but sounds great, especially for those times when I run aground and can''t wait for the turn of the tide. Anyone have any experience with this?
Since no one else has responded, I''ll chime in here. If you are aground in 5 feet of water, are you saying that the anchor you drop/guide over the side will "glide" over 25 feet (ignoring the height of the freeboard on the scope formula)?
To me, that seems completely unbelievable, but I admit I have not researched the claims at all. I would be interested to hear more myself.
That anchor sounds imposible to me. Anchors don''t glide through the water if they are weighted sufficiently to actually grab the bottom.
I guess if it sounds too good to be true...
send me one ! Preferably with remote control, so i can steer it to the prefered landing spot .....

|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|X-ray imaging and detection are useful measurements, in familiar applications like dental X-rays and less familiar ones like elemental analysis. The Pulsed Power and Plasma Science group in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at MU has assembled an x-ray detection system in order to measure x-rays generated from electrons striking a target at several keV. The detection system will be used to study x-ray emission from a ferroelectric plasma source. A DC electron gun, whose emission is carefully controlled, will be used as a known calibration source to compare to the ferroelectric plasma source. The results of the comparison are presented. In many pulsed power experiments, large amounts of electrical noise are produced, which make measurements difficult to obtain. Optical diagnostic systems are not subject to electrical noise and are very useful in these settings. A fast optical transmitter and receiver circuit was designed and built to transmit data in a noisy environment. The design and performance of this circuit is discussed.

Residents say they gather to meet the MLA because he has done work
Mohammed Lidzeth, the driver of Congress's Mangalore candidate U.T. Khader, was miffed when asked whether Monday's campaigning began in the evening. "How can you ask this?" After a pause he says, "We have been on the road since 6 a.m. Our boss took a break to attend a few marriages."
Mr. Lidzeth takes this reporter and the photographer to a house in Benjanpadavu where Mr. Khader was drawing up campaign plans with party workers for Merimajal-Kodmah, a stronghold of the BJP for nearly two decades. "Do not be worried over the turnout. I will be happy if I get 400 votes I got last time. Anything more will be a bonus," he tells his partymen campaigning in the area.
Mr. Khader and a few of his supporters then leave in two vehicles to Terukadu, an area coming under the Merimajal-Kodmah polling booth. "This polling booth is one of the few new areas that became a part of my constituency in 2008. We could not even dare campaigning in these areas five years ago. Now, our party controls the panchayat. We have workers to stand against the BJP and the RSS," Mr. Khader says while proceeding to Terukadu, his first stop.
Mr. Khader greets people at Vygreshwari Bhajana Mandir in Terukadu.
In a big hall, where the residents have assembled, the MLA seeks their support again. An elderly woman points out the problem of water supply. "Only one of the two borewells is working. The water supply is irregular," says Harish, a builder. To this, Mr. Khader says that the area is new for him. "I am trying my best to solve your problems," he says.
Mr. Khader says his party believes in addressing problems that affect the common man.
"The BJP government has made it hard for the poor to get ration cards. The situation was not like this when S.M. Krishna was the Chief Minister," he tells people. After discussing for about 30 minutes, Mr. Khader moves to primary school in Pakkalpadi.
"This is the new concrete road laid few weeks ago," Mr. Khader says, pointing to the road near the school that connects a hamlet of about 30 households. A fairly good number of men and women gather at the school. "Khader has done work here. That's why so many people are coming to meet him," says resident Gangappa Poojary.
Just as Mr. Khader was finishing his talk, one person in the crowd collapsed. The MLA sends the person in his car to a nearby hospital, and leaves for the next stop.

Rancho Corte de Madera
Rancho Corte de Madera was a 13,316-acre (53.89 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Santa Clara County, California given in 1844 by Governor Manuel Micheltorena to Máximo Martínez.[1] The name translates as "the place where lumber is cut". The roughly triangular shaped grant was west of today's I-280, and bounded on the north by Alambique Creek and San Francisquito Creek, on the south by Los Trancos Creek and Matadero Creek, and on the west by what is now Skyline Boulevard. The grant surrounded Rancho Cañada del Corte de Madera which extended along the Portola Valley. The land grant included parts of present day Woodside, Ladera and Stanford University.[2][3][4]
Máximo Martínez and José Domingo Peralta had been granted Rancho Cañada del Corte de Madera in 1833 by Governor José Figueroa. Peralta sold his share in the property to Martínez in 1835, and returned to Rancho San Antonio. In 1844 Máximo Martínez was granted the surrounding two square league Rancho Corte de Madera by Governor Micheltorena.[5]
Máximo Martínez (1792 - 1863) had been a soldier in San Francisco from 1819 until 1827. He was regidor (councilman) in the Pueblo of San José in 1833. He married Damiana Padilla, and in 1834 the couple moved onto his Rancho Cañada del Corte de Madera, until his death in 1863.[6]
With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Corte de Madera was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852,[7] and the grant was patented to Máximo Martínez in 1858.[8]

Kyoto : Michelin's recommendations
As soon as it was founded in the 8C, Kyoto – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site – was one of the largest capitals in the world and renowned for its magnificence and its spirit. It was here that the uniqueness of Japanese culture emerged. The 16C brought fresh impetus to the city's spiritual and cultural life. Spared from earthquakes and the onslaught of the Second World War, and having opted for clean industry, Kyoto has retained its architectural integrity. Its 3 000 temples and shrines and 200 gardens are the cornerstones for an escapade among the treasures of the past. Rediscover the art of taking your time.

Tamar Braxton took a little time for herself after she almost passed out during a show in Las Vegas this weekend.
It was clear after her show on Friday that Tamar needed to relax following an episode on stage during a show on her Love and War Tour. Fans at the concert reported that the vivacious singer lost her breath and almost passed out about 15 minutes into her set, according to NecoleBitchie.com.
Tamartians in attendance didn't know what was going on at first. "I really felt like last night was #lightsout for me!! I felt sooo bad I was shaking," she explained in an open letter to her fans. "I never lost my MYSELF where my body took over my mind and left me helpless. I wanted to stay but I couldn't. I wanted to drink water and catch my breath but I couldn't."
Her husband Vincent Herbert eventually had to come out and help her before she left the stage. She eventually came back to finish the show (with some help from her fans), but many expected that she would take the next night off.
However, Tamar wasn't going to let a scare like that keep her from the stage. She performed in Los Angeles on Saturday, but she spent some quality time with her friends after the set.
"Fun ending to a PERFECT night!" she captioned the pic below. "My favorite spot @xenlounge with my twin @ishateria & @iamprildaniels ❤ my gals AND I ❤#LATamartians….thank u all for a GReAt night."
Tamar kept the good times rolling as her tour moved onto San Francisco the next day. She wrote, "#SanfranTamartians the city has been officially warned: we outchea ready to get our lives for the #loveandwartour see you soon."

It seems the battles over school curriculums are becoming as relentless in this country as are the sectarian and terrorist wars in the Middle East.
Debates over the Common Core national curriculum still rage as many educators and parents want more local control over teaching methods and less high-stakes testing.
Last year, there were the educational squabbles over the advanced history courses in states such as Colorado and Texas. This year, those fights are moving into other states and also other subject areas as conservatives take on the role of aggressor rather than defender.
The AP history curriculum instituted last year provides more focus on the history of North American and all its peoples, while the critics insists it downplays the achievements of colonists in subduing the New World and establishing a nation. Now, however, conservatives aren't waiting to react, they are going on the offensive.
In Florida, for example, two state lawmakers are pushing their colleagues to require eighth- and eleventh-grade students to watch a twisted right-wing documentary about American history.
Can you imagine trying to put a more-positive spin on slavery and the genocide of Native Americans? Well, that's what Dinesh D'Souza's ``America: Imagine the World Without Her'' attempts to do as it accuses President Obama, Hillary Clinton, our schools and liberals in general of trying to destroy the country.
A sponsor of the Florida bill, state Sen. Alan Hayes, told the Fort Myers News-Press that ``our parents and our school board members have not kept up with the misrepresentation of American history that is being perpetrated in our school system, and this movie gives a totally different view."
It sure does, so let's hope Florida lawmakers have enough sense to spare students from being forced to watch the film -- not once, but twice.
Apparently, not even science class is immune to the onslaught of conservative meddling in school curriculum. But, this time, it's not about evolution vs. the Bible, but climate change.
The guidelines for K-12 science education have not been updated since 1996. With the rapid advances in scientific research, proposed modernizations, known as the Next Generation Science Standards, are overdue and have been developed by education groups led by the National Research Council.
The guidelines are the first to address climate change and, as you might expect, are controversial because they treat climate changes as scientific facts caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels.
Given the ridiculous denials perpetrated by some politicians, I guess it only follows that education leaders in some states would be touting their skepticism about climate change and its link to pollution.
The latest state to haggle over the curriculum is West Virginia, where the state Board of Education has toggled between approving the guidelines and changing them to reflect the view that climate change is not fact and especially not necessarily caused by human activity.
The West Virginia Science Teachers Association and Climate Parents, an organization dedicated to ensuring that the scientific consensus on climate change is taught in schools, rightly criticized the state's attempts to change the proposed guidelines.
The consensus of the scientific community, not only in the U.S. but also globally, is that climate change is occurring and that all the gases and particles we've been spewing into the atmosphere for centuries are a primary cause.
Lisa Hoyos, director and co-founder of the national activist group Climate Parents, has said that even though a state's science educators were involved in updating the guidelines, ``they go home and the politics win out. Kids are caught in the crossfire.''
For sure, just as with the controversy over the Common Core and high-stakes testing, the students are caught in middle of fights that have educators, politicians and parents unable to agree on what should be taught in schools – and how it should be presented.
It seems the ideological warfare so acute in Washington and state capitals in recent decades has worked its way into debates over school curriculum. Of course, that's bound to occur when you want to have national standards that fit all schools.
However, that does not mean we should return to states and localities setting their own standards. After all, it was the lagging of educational systems in many regions of the country that led to the push for national standards.
And, just think, you could end up with students learning that climate change is a fiction and hearing that slavery was not such a bad thing.

Mississippi guard Marshall Henderson (22) cuts the net after a win over Florida during the championship game of the SEC tournament at Bridgestone Arena. The Rebels beat the Gators 66-63 to cinch an NCAA tournament bid. / Don McPeak, USA TODAY Sports
He's part coach. And as Mississippi's Andy Kennedy alluded Monday, he's also part stage manager of the most entertaining and often notorious road show in college basketball, trying to ride herd on the Rebels' Marshall Henderson.
"I had a pretty good feeling that he was going to impact our team with his ability as a player," Kennedy said a day after Henderson lifted Ole Miss past Florida in the Southeastern Conference tournament and into the NCAA field. "He's a quick shooter. He can make hard shots. He's a gamer, plays with great passion.
"The whole Marshall Henderson phenomenon, even I was taken aback by that a little bit. It's like traveling with the Beatles. I mean it's crazy, honestly."
Henderson lit up the SEC tournament â?? with his play, with his antics and mouth â?? just as he had Mississippi's regular season, hitting 10 of the Rebels' 13 three-pointers and averaging 23.7 points in their three victories, inciting opponents and their fans with mocking Gator chomps and other gestures and belittling league coaches for failing to vote him as a first-team all-SEC selection.
He and 12th-seeded Mississippi now step onto college basketball's big stage, taking on No. 5-seeded Wisconsin in a Friday game in Kansas City, Mo., in the NCAA's West Region.
"I think the kid, for the most part, has handled it well," Kennedy said of Henderson's notoriety. "His passion comes from a good place. I've said this numerous times: He's a kid who cares more than you could imagine, and sometimes that crosses the line. But I'm really proud for him. I'm really proud for our team."
Asked if he has come to take a more or less hands-off approach to Henderson's outrageousness, a wry Kennedy said, "Oh, no, no. We have hands on, 24-7. Unfortunately, we don't have enough hands. But I do know him, and I think think that do know him understand that his passion, again, comes from a good place."
As for Henderson, himself, the 6-2 junior settled into a brief calm between game-day storms. Monday morning, he tweeted: "back to reality ... time for class! woOp woOp!"

"We're really interested in why the fly is dying, and this is potentially a good inroad to being able to study that," he said.
Oxidation the chemical process behind rust and food spoilage takes place constantly in the body as a byproduct of metabolism.
"Burning that fuel to produce energy is toxic," Tower said.
The real-time methods developed by Tower's group painted the poignant picture, even if only for flies, of an animal's last attempt to fight off death.
Other animals soon will be studied the same way, Grover predicted.
"The beauty of it is now, if GFP can be linked to any gene you could track it over time, and you could look at the expression of that gene. It's much easier than looking at it through the microscope, having a grad student sit there and take pictures every few hours and look at the (gene) expression change. This is just running on its own," he said.
It was Grover's thesis adviser Simon Tavare, a professor of molecular and computational biology at USC and faculty member at Cambridge, who suggested how to track flies in three dimensions.
"After that we started to think about, 'Can we look at the expression of certain genes over time, as they're moving?' " Grover recalled.
"That would be really interesting."
Even more interesting, for everyday life, would be a mosquito zapper guided by the tracking system an application that Grover and Tower say just might be feasible.

Keep on making this mod! It is awesome :D
The Zone of Alienation mod is an adaptation of the renowned AMK mod. It is built on top of a specialized variant of AMK that uses a magazine system. From this premise, it has expanded to aim to include the following:
Recently I have been receiving help working on the mod, and this has picked up the pace regarding development, with many new features being implemented in a matter of weeks. I have to say, for once I am very happy working on this mod, as I no longer feel completely alone and fumbling through the dark to get things working. 1.07.1 is nearly finished now, I am on the eve of an ammunition overhaul, and possibly a new build of ZoA which will break everything again for us to rebuild.
Posted by FatalFunnel on Sep 3rd, 2013
As many of you have seen in the two latest videos, and the images of new items in development, there has been a lot of activity going on recently. I've shown a number of different features, some of which don't seem like they have that much of a purpose, but many of them will compliment each other in different ways once all of the pieces here fall into place.
The ultimate aim of these things is to expand on combat, inventory management, and to add things that increase the sense of order and categorization of how groups in the Zone manage their resources.
The patch is close to being finished, and when it is, it will be out of the alpha phase, this means I can wrap up the treasure manager, and the still missing item description strings.
I have had a lot of help recently, and I am very grateful for it. TKGP has helped me immensely with implementing features that would either take a very long time to learn how to do, or have simply eluded me for a long time. I'm not going to break his back with work, In fact I might even have to ask that we don't feature-creep this thing because very soon I want to merge in something big that will make the mod a clusterfuck again. Don't worry, this time I'll leave the previous build of the mod up, the 1.08 build will be too big to host on Moddb.
As I said in the summary, we're on the eve of the ammunition overhaul, but I don't think that it will fully make it into 1.07.1. I might have to port it back from the new build once it is finished. Still most of the things in it are already done, just not the actual changing of boxed ammo itself, which is a massive pain in the ass that will require editing almost every type of ammo used in the game to be replaced by splittable box items, and then re-using the old boxed ammo slots for new ammo types, and that might require splitting the magazines to accommodate them. In short that part is a complete and total quagmire that would delay 1.07.1 for a long time, so I'm not doing it now.
ZOA 1.07.1 (alpha version 9) build no. 2517
Arms textures v4 for ZOA (addon for ZOA)
Keep on making this mod! It is awesome :D
It will only get better in the coming months.
So good to hear that you're going to work on this mod. Good luck!
Thank you for the update man, your mod has been my favorite so far for SoC.
How big, in terms of gigabytes do you think the mod will be once it is finished? I'm thinking of around 8-9 gigs. Also, this is an amazing mod.

A visit to these places will definitely be an experience to remember. Here's what you should look for before you land at any of these destinations.
Welcome to F*cking, Austria
No, this is not a joke. But this is the name that finds its way on many envelopes that reach the houses in this town in Austria. In fact, in 2005 the town had to take extreme measure to ensure it's name was not stolen. The town now has erected theft-proof road signs embedded in concrete blocks.' Officials acted because they were fed up with English-speaking tourists stealing them as souvenirs. After the last 'Welcome to F*cking' sign was stolen, Mayor Siegfried Hauppl ordered brand new theft-proof road signs. It is believed that the settlement was founded in the 6th century by Focko, a Bavarian nobleman. The spelling has evolved over the years. It is first recorded in historical sources with the spelling as Vucchingen in 1070, Fukching in 1303, Fugkhing in 1532, and in the modern spelling F*cking in the 18th century.
The ending - ing is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people belonging to the root word to which it is attached, thus F*cking means place of Focko's people.
Bunny Hill
Members of a Viennese art group created this massive, stuffed pink rabbit on the side of Colletto Fava mountain in northern Piedmont region of Italy. The art piece, which has been created on the 5,000 foot high hill, is around 200 feet in lenghth and 20 feet high on its sides. The work will remain at Colletto Fava until 2025. Not only can you view the artwork, but you can also rest against it when you reach the top of the hill.
As small as it gets
It's impossible to take a a walk in this park. Not because you need to be part of some exclusive group, but simply because it's impossible to strp inside. Mill Ends Park, Portland, Oregon has the distinction of the being the smallest park in the world. Guinness Book of Records first granted it this recognition in 1971. The total area of the part is two feet across in a traffic median which in 1948 was intended to be the site for a light pole. The park was created on St. Patrick's Day, 1948.
Steep walk
Walking up this steep street can be a great workout. Baldwin Street, Dunedin, New Zealand, is said to be the world's steepest street. Howver, there has been a controversy post the claim as it emerged that the entry in the Guinness Book of Records was based on a typographical error, claiming a maximum gradient of 1:1.266 (38° or 79%). This would be impossible to walk up. Canton Avenue, in the Pittsburgh neighbourhood of Beechview, may be steeper; it is officially measured to be a 37% grade. Howver, Guinness Book officially recognizes Baldwin Street as the world's steepest street at a 35% grade.
The End of the World Cinema
A French visited decided to create the End of the World Cinema at the bottom of a desert mountain range. He brought all the required material including 150 wooden seats that are still in place from Cairo. However, on the evening of the grand opening the clectricity generator was sabotaged. No movies were screened here after the incident. However, the 150 wooden seats minus any patron continue to inhabit the place.
The loneliest phone booth in the world
Some miners decided that it would be a good idea to put a phoone booth in the middle of the Mojave Desert in 1960. Long after they left, the booth remained, waiting for someone to call. In 1997, a guy named Deuce read about the booth and called the number and continued to call until a desert dweller named Lorene answered. Many people are facinated by this lone phone booth. In fact a man from texas camped here over 32 days and answered over 500 calls.
No, that's not a keyboard gone crazy, but is actually a real name of a station and village in Wales. In English, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (58 letters)means "Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of Saint Tysilio near the red cave." Locals call it Llanfairpwll (pronounced thlan vire puth), others call it L56h. According to the town folk, the name was created in the early 19th century by a local humourist. Internet sites normally have a maximum of 28 letters but the rules were bent for L56h. Apprently, before 19th century the village was known as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll - St Mary's church near the pool by the white hazels. To encourage train travellers to stop off, a cobbler suggested stretching the name. Local author John Williams believes that a tailor coined the tongue-twisting name to confuse the English.
Fertility treatment
The village monastery in Punakha, Bhutan, was built in honour of Lama Drukpa Kunley who lived in the 15-16th century and who was popularly known as the "Mad Saint" or "Divine Madman" for his unorthodox ways of teaching. He was also known as the Saint of Fertility. Today, phallic symbols adorn buildings everywhere in the village en route to the temple and are even sold in the village shop. The monks in the temple also tap you on the head with a wooden phallus and a replica of the mad monk's bow and arrow (he rid the village of witches and fierce dogs according to folklore). The phallus paintings can surprise you, but people come from various parts of the country to be blessed with fertility.

"'cos we all make silly mistakes..."
All the more reason to take a good look at what you are about to post before you hit the 'Post' button. We do all make mistakes, but as a rule they aren't too serious, and everyone understands.
We really don't want an edit facility - it has the potential for creating problems in a discussion forum, which is the reason we have always resisted requests. We have a preview box immediately below the text entry box, so that you can see how your post will look when it's on line. Surely it's not too onerous a job to read through what you have typed and correct any errors before sending the post to the server?

I'm with the FE here. We all look more human when we make glaring mistakes, which most of us do.
This is not an encyclopaedia of knowledge but a place where we can air views without hopefully upsetting others, and where other people's views can be expressed without fear of ridicule.

I've tried to green tick this a couple of times. But once more I have failed. As a final word I must say that I agree with the people on here who say that it is possible to read what you have written before hitting that post button/key. I usually do, but it is obvious that an awful lot of people just hit the button out of habit when they think they have finished.
It only takes a few seconds to read what we have written and a few more seconds to use the spell checker. That normally shows up any glaring errors. I know some of us may be dyslexic and of course the occasional "rat" will show up. Now and again it is obvious that someone may have been on a liquid diet for the day too. That's always good for a laugh and as long as no one is upset. None of us is perfect. Except Brumas of course....Amen.

When I play music, I guess I'm what you'd call an ecstatic, says Bruce Hornsby. I'm always pursuing those joyful, exuberant, transcendent moments that happen when everything is working. That's why I called this album Levitate, because that's what those moments feel like.
By any standard, Bruce Hornsby has built one of the most diverse and adventurous careers in contemporary music. Drawing from a vast wellspring of American musical traditions, the singer/pianist/composer/bandleader has created a large and remarkably accomplished body of work that's employed a vast array of stylistic approaches, while maintaining the integrity, virtuosity and artistic curiosity that have been hallmarks of his work from the start....

A plurality of voters approve of President Obama's handling of the "fiscal cliff" negotiations, while a strong majority disapprove of the job Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has done, according to a new poll.
Obama has overwhelming support from his own party, with 79 percent of Democrats saying they approve, against 15 percent who disapprove. Boehner, conversely, is barely above water within his party, with 39 percent saying they approve and 37 percent saying they disapprove.
While Boehner has been backed by GOP leadership in the negotiations — House Budget Committee Chairman and GOP vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) both signed his first proposal to the White House — Boehner continues to struggle with some Tea Party conservatives who are urging him not to budge on higher tax rates.
Boehner's initial deficit offer to the White House included $800 billion in new tax revenues, but the Speaker is resisting Obama's push to raise tax rates on the wealthiest 2 percent.
Boehner has also been criticized recently by some in his party for his decision to strip four members — Reps. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), Walter Jones (R-N.C.), David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) and Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) — of high-profile committee assignments.
The move triggered opposition from outside conservative groups that have undertaken efforts to replace Boehner as Speaker. But those calls have not received support from within the caucus.
While Amash has said he might not back Boehner to retain the gavel, Reps. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Sunday confidently predicted he would remain Speaker.
