Inside the locker room: Charlie BatchPosted by on November 28, 2012 – 4:07 pm
Quarterback Charlie Batch talked on Wednesday about the offense, his performance and this week's game against the Ravens.
Re: Performance Sunday and your thoughts moving forward:
I have to play better. It's something I can do. I turned the football over three times. Right now, I just have to figure out a way to get us into the end zone, and that's what I have to do.
How much input did you have in the game plan last week and will you have a little more this week?
With me, I did have an input in the game plan. That's something that as you go throughout the course of the week, you start with what you like and what you don't like. I don't expect that to change this week and that's something that, between today and Friday, I'll have better indication of what I like moving forward.
What kind of a difference does it make having WR Antonio Brown in the lineup?
Depending on how this week goes, that can determine what our packages are for the week. We'll be encouraged as we go through. Right now, I know he's excited to get back on the field. It's been a while for him, and I'll be excited as well.
What do you think will go better this week?
I have to make better decisions. The three turnovers just can't happen, especially when you're moving the football. I think right now, just getting back on the practice field, I have to go out there and make sure I get the timing with the receivers. And I need to make sure I'm doing whatever it takes to put this team in the end zone.
You said that if you put the ball out there two or three yards more on a pass to Wallace that hit Browns S T.J. Ward in the helmet it would have been a completion. Do you still have that two or three yards more?
Absolutely, and that's something when you're going that deep and trying to make a decision 50 yards down the field on his angle, that's something that I have to figure out a way to get that ball in front of him, because that's a potential 70 or 80-yard touchdown pass in that situation. You just make sure you continue to work on that timing.
Do you have any concerns about your game speed, your arm strength, getting the ball deep or making the throws to the sideline?
Not at all.
Did you struggle with some decision making because of the offense being choppy with all the turnovers? Did you feel like you needed big chunks of yards and pushed the ball deep down the field to Wallace in double coverage?
No. Every situation is different throughout the course of the game. For me, when you're in those critical situations, I just have to make better decisions. The last interception was a first-down play. We didn't necessarily need to have the ball pushed down the field the way that I did. I could have easily checked it down and continued to play ball. Any time that you have situations like that, you would love to have those back. Unfortunately, I couldn't and that's why you get back on the field and get ready for Baltimore.
Is there any difference in this Ravens defense than ones you may have faced in the past?
No, because we just saw them two weeks ago. They did a lot of good things on their side that kind of messed with us defensively. And I'm sure we'll continue to see that. We'll see an added element that they're going to add this week. We're just going to have to prepare for everything.
How weird is it to face a team like this you know so well twice in three games?
It's definitely weird but this is the way that the schedule was dealt. We knew that we were going to be dealing with this situation two weeks ago and when the schedule came out. It's nothing that surprised us, and right now what we have to do is prepare for them.
Do you expect QB Ben Roethlisberger to lobby hard to play?
I've been around him long enough [to know that]. I'm sure he's been lobbying the last couple weeks. That'll be something that he and Coach Tomlin talk about.
This team has won without Roethlisberger before. What makes this stretch different? Are there mistakes that you avoided before and are costing you now?
I think it's that we've been able to get wins the last couple of times. That's what's different about it right now. We have to figure out whatever we need to do because as we continue to push during the final stretch of our season in order for us to get to where we want to get to, we have to start winning.
Is the offense too reliant on Roethlisberger's specific skill set?
I wouldn't necessarily say that because there are a lot of guys on this team that are capable of making plays. For whatever reason, we just haven't been able to get into the end zone, and I think right now we're going to figure out a way to do that. I don't think that anybody in this locker room would think any other way.
Do you think the offense will take a bigger step this week with you at quarterback after having a game under your belt?
We're going to have to. Last week, we only put up one touchdown, and defensively they did a great job. They went out there and played phenomenal throughout the course of that game. We just continued to put them in bad situations. In order for us to grow, we can't do that offensively. We're going to go out there, work hard and continue to do what we need to do in order to make progress this week.
What role might WR Plaxico Burress have this week?
We'll see how that plays out. We don't know how it's going to play out because Antonio [Brown] can make a difference either way as far as packages go. I'm sure we'll be able to answer that throughout the course of the week.
Is it frustrating to have an offensive line that is continually banged-up and shuffled around?
That's tough, but either way it's the next guy's opportunity. Early on this year we had to deal with the same situations, and for us, we've been able to battle through that. Right now is no different.
Do you still have the feeling that you need to redeem yourself, even after playing for so many years?
I still have it because I know I didn't play well last week. Any time that you have another opportunity like this week, for me this is going out there and making sure I don't make those mistakes again.
Is there a statement Coach Tomlin was trying to make naming WR Mike Wallace a co-starter and naming RB Jonathan Dwyer the starter?
I don't know. When we hear it, we hear it the same time that you do. I wouldn't look into anything more than that.
Are teams defending you differently with Roethlisberger out?
No, not at all.
Are teams defending you differently with Brown out of the lineup?
No, because it depends on the different formations and what we're trying to take advantage of. We haven't been able to do that over the last couple of weeks. Those questions tend to play out throughout the course of the game.
Have you seen Wallace double covered a little bit more in the last few games than he was when Brown was on the field?
Possibly. I wasn't seeing him double-teamed any more than he was in the past. You have to respect his speed and teams obviously do.
Do you expect to improve now that this will be consecutive starts for you?
For me, you have that opportunity to go out again and correct those mistakes. Now you're dealing with timing issues, and you're talking about play clock management. I had a delay of game and that's unacceptable. I shouldn't do that and it has to be corrected this week. You're talking about five yards of field position in that situation. Obviously, I was disappointed and Coach Tomlin was disappointed in that because that's something where I expect better from myself.

The steelers are good we are a clutch team plus Ben isn't the only start he is a main star but not are only one if we want to win we have to cover the balls cause turnovers win on the ground and take advantage of oppertinities.

A cocktail is a style of mixed drink. Originally a mixture of distilled spirits, sugar, water, and bitters, the word has gradually come to mean almost any mixed drink containing alcohol. A cocktail today usually contains one or more types of liquor and flavorings and one or more liqueurs, fruit juices, sugar, honey, water, ice, soda, milk, cream, herbs, bitters, etc.
Cocktails are made with gin, whiskey, rum, tequila, brandy, or vodka. Many cocktails traditionally made with gin, such as the gimlet, or the martini, or Tom Collins are now commonly made with vodka.
The earliest known printed use of the word "cocktail," as determined by David Wondrich in October 2005 , was from "The Farmer's Cabinet", April 28, 1803, p [2]: "11. Drank a glass of cocktail — excellent for the head ... Call'd at the Doct's. found Burnham — he looked very wise — drank another glass of cocktail."
The earliest definition of this type of drink comes from the May 13 1806, edition of the Balance and Columbian Repository, a publication in Hudson, New York, where the paper provided an answer to the question, "What is a cocktail?". It reads, "Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters — it is vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a Democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else."
Often, the Sazerac is cited as the first cocktail, even though it didn't appear until 25 years later.
The first publication of a bartenders' guide which included cocktail recipes was in 1862: How to Mix Drinks; or, The Bon Vivant's Companion, by "Professor" Jerry Thomas. In addition to listings of recipes for Punches, Sours, Slings, Cobblers, Shrubs, Toddies, Flips, and a variety of other types of mixed drinks were 10 recipes for drinks referred to as "Cocktails". A key ingredient which differentiated "cocktails" from other drinks in this compendium was the use of bitters as an ingredient, although it is not to be seen in very many modern cocktail recipes.
The first "cocktail party" ever thrown was allegedly by Mrs. Julius S. Walsh Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1917. Mrs. Walsh invited 50 guests to her mansion at noon on a Sunday. The party lasted one hour, until lunch was served at 1pm. The site of the first cocktail party still stands. In 1924 the Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis bought the Walsh mansion at 4510 Lindell Blvd., and it has served as the local archbishop's residence ever since.
During Prohibition in the United States (1920–1933), when the sale of alcoholic beverages was illegal, cocktails were still consumed illegally in establishments known as speakeasies. The quality of the alcohol available was far lower than was previously used, and bartenders generally put forth less effort in preparing the cocktails.
There are several plausible theories as to the origin of the term "cocktail". Among them are:
A makeshift incendiary bomb consisting of a bottle of flammable liquid (usually gasoline) with a flaming rag attached is known as a "Molotov cocktail."

TalendTalend is the leading provider of open source data integration software. Market analysts agree that data integration tools represent a $13 billion market (with the ETL sub-segment valued at $2 billion and operational integration at $11 billion) - and that the market is growing at double-digit rates, year after year. Since the emergence of data integration tools in the 1990s, the market has been dominated by a small - and quickly consolidating - number of traditional vendors offering proprietary, closed solutions, which only the largest and wealthiest organizations can afford. Recent studies show that only 75,000 companies in the world use commercial data integration software to meet their data integration needs. Indeed, these solutions not only demand a steep initial investment (starting at $150,000 or well above that figure), but they also often require significant resources to manage implementation and on-going operation. Furthermore, companies are faced with exponential growth in the volume and heterogeneity of the data they need to manage and control. A key challenge that IT departments face today is ensuring the quality of their data by using modeling tools, workflow management and storage, the foundations of data governance in any company today. This challenge is actually faced by organizations of all sizes - not only the largest corporations. In just a few years, Talend has become the recognized market leader in open source data integration. Many large organizations around the globe use Talend's products and services to optimize the costs of data integration, ETL and data quality. With an ever growing number of product downloads and paying customers, Talend's solutions are the most widely used and deployed data integration solutions in the world. Talend offers a completely new vision, reflected in the way it utilizes technology, as well as in its business model. The company shatters the traditional proprietary model by supplying open, innovative and powerful software solutions with the flexibility to meet the data integration needs of all types of organizations.

Eddy Merckx bikes fittingly used the Eddy Merckx GranFondo in Verona, Italy, as a launching pad for its 2011 bike line. The highlight was a new "superbike," the EMX 7 with airfoil carbon tubing, integrated seatmast and BB86 integrated bottom bracket. It's still in the finalizing stages so no, we didn't get to ride one (although a Merckx engineer did test one out in the event.)
Top of the Line: The All-New EMX 7
PHOTO: The sculpted frame and fork crown are things of beauty.
As part of the "superbike" category the EMX 7 is built from 62 HM carbon (the same type Pinarello uses) with a 1K weave finish. According to engineers, they were looking at 70HM (ton) fiber (something that has never been used on a bicycle before) but the price would be way too high, at least $7,000 for the frame alone. The EMX 7's first eye catch is the integrated seatmast and monocoque airfoil tubing, a first for Merckx. The aero fork mates to a tapered headtube and besides asymmetrical chainstays, other niceties include internally routed cables with internal guides so replacement is a snap. If you looked closely at Quick Step's Sylvain Chavanel stage 2 wining ride during the Tour de France he wasn't riding one either. This was due to availability. Merckx did have prototype EMX 7's ready for Tom Boonen to race but a knee injury kept him away from the start line and his large sized frames sitting unridden.
If you're serious about road riding, you have to try at least one Euro Granfondo. On paper, it's a giant group ride (this one had nearly 5,000 riders choosing between 82km or 153km distances). Once the gun goes off it's a full-on race, though, complete with timing chips, feed zones, professional riders and a podium girls. The key is a front row start with the good guys (and that girl with the World Champion stripes I lined up behind) to try and avoid the scrum for position that follows. The start is unlike any kind of road race or crit here in the US; it's a full blast romp at 30-plus mph immediately. Most of the sea of riders in the front are very skilled so it's fairly comfortable, even on slight descents where we were hitting speeds around 40 mph. The only dodgy parts are those pesky traffic circles that I wasn't warned about. The field splits fast and neat but if you're caught sleeping it could be disastrous. Not to mention in a field of riders that large you can't really see up the road.

Which Glee Character Would Be the Worst Thanksgiving Guest?
We'd love to party with all of the Glee characters, and so we'll be using this year's wishbone to hope this will someday come true. However, we can't help but feel that not everyone on Glee would be an ideal holiday party guest.
Here are the show's five characters whom we won't be sending an invite to our Thanksgiving dinner this year. Let's hope they're not upset that we're about to serve them some humble (but not pumpkin) pie.
5. Stoner Brett
We want to invite people over who are going to appreciate the food, not people who are only there because they have the munchies. A guy who would be equally pleased with an elaborate home-cooked meal as he would be with a large bag of Cool Ranch Doritos is not welcome.
4. Sugar
Holiday parties are all about catching up with acquaintances, but somehow we're thinking Sugar (Vanessa Lengies) would make things all about her, given that she referred to her Valentine's Day party as the "Sugar Shack." And if people are singing after dinner, let's just say she's not the character whom we want to be doing a lot of vocal heavy-lifting.
3. Kitty
If Kitty (Becca Tobin) can somehow make it through a whole meal without making someone cry, it would be a small miracle. And do you really want to invite someone to Thanksgiving dinner whose favorite thing to do is make fun of people's eating habits? We'll pass.
2. Puck
The guy is a big fan of dining and dashing, so it's safe to say that anything he brings for dinner will have been acquired with a five-finger discount. We also learned in "Never Been Kissed" that Puck (Mark Salling) loves waffles, which aren't exactly Thanksgiving appropriate. Then again, holidays are all about sweets, and so who are we to complain about a little extra eye candy?
1. Sue
This one feels like a no-brainer. In fact, you shouldn't eat anything that Sue (Jane Lynch) contributes to a Thanksgiving dinner, given her tendency to cook with less-than-appetizing ingredients. (Dog poop cookies, anyone?) Plus, with her temper, we'd be worried that she would try to flip the Thanksgiving dinner table, oh, about 10-12 times throughout the evening.
I'd never want them over.
Actually, I think it'd be kind of funny!

"That's the only money we received from the county, and that was to get us going," said Terri Pierce, committee chair.
The committee tacked on another $11,100 through fundraising and is counting on that carrying it through end of the year.
Last week, the celebrations reached their apex as the county held its 100-year birthday party in
More than 1,000 people attended, Pierce said. The event cost $3,083, but 95 percent of that was paid for with committee fundraised dollars, she said.
The committee also got deals from JR's Rib Shack (for
The meal was only $2.94 a plate, feeding more than 850 people, Pierce said. And dessert cost 20 cents a cupcake, of which there were 600.
Major expense
But that's been the major expense. The committee actually hopes to return some dollars back to the county, Pierce said, who is a
"I think we'll end up with a little bit of money left at the end of the year, I hope," she said.
Already the committee held an April 24 celebration at the McKenzie House commemorating the day then-Florida Gov. Park Trammell signed legislation formally creating the county. That cost $200 and food was donated.
The committee kicked off the centennial at the New Year's Eve festivities at
Less than $100 was spent on cake that was enjoyed after a
In an interview,
"To do what they have done on that little bit of money has just been absolutely phenomenal," he said.
Gainer was disappointed and frustrated that more dollars didn't go toward commemorating the centennial and noted the large sums of taxpayer money that are often spent on events in Panama City Beach.
He acknowledged the beach events often promote tourism, unlike the centennial festivities, but still thought the centennial deserved more funding.
"I feel like we should have put much more money than that behind this," Gainer said, "but I'll tell you one thing, the people that put it on — Terri Pierce — have just done a fabulous job," he said.
The county had at least five employees working Monday's event, said Valerie Sale, county spokeswoman.
The event may not have explicitly been listed in their job description, it does fall into their basic duties,
More events
There are more centennial events to come. In August, the county will hold a gala at the Panama Country Club in
"We're trying to spread events throughout different areas in the county," Pierce said.
The committee also has a 5K run planned for Oct. 26 in
The final hurrah comes in December as the
The parade's theme will be the county's centennial. And the year will be capped off by burying a time capsule, Pierce said.
Despite all the events, the goal is not to spend the entire $10,000, only the funds the committee raised, Pierce said.

With a watchful eye on the weather, area military bases have decided to shut down.
Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Base will shut down at 2 p.m. Tuesday, sending home all non-essential employees.

Base services will also close at that time.
Both bases plan to reopen at noon on Wednesday.
Eglin will post updates at www.eglin.af.mil or www.facebook.com/TeamEglin.

It does look a little complicated but it sounds like once you figure out the RAID parameters you can save the profile for future use.

Dallas Family Law Attorney
In the context of marital and family issues, you may need to end a relationship through an annulment or a divorce. You may need to establish a parent-child relationship between a father and his child in a paternity action. In either a divorce or a paternity action, you may seek orders to collect child support and address visitation. In a divorce, you would need to characterize your possessions and assets as community property or separate property. You may want to ask for post divorce support, which is alimony. Let us review your matter by contacting us for an appointment here.
Advanced Directives and Planning Documents
During your life, every person should draft planning documents, which include drafting a will, and preparing advance directives. Advance directives include powers of attorney, living wills, and choice of guardian in case of need. Having the planning documents usually protects you from having a guardianship imposed upon you in the unfortunate circumstance that you become incapacitated. We can usually draft these planning documents in a couple of weeks or less. Contact us to discuss your circumstances here.
Dallas Probate Attorney
When a close relative dies, if there is a will, it should be filed for probate. If there is no will, a court must determine issues of heirship, meaning who would receive an inheritance from the person who has died. We are creative and experienced in handling estates with or without a will, and would be pleased to review your situation. Remove the mystery and have your questions answered by contacting us here.

I sewed this top up yesterday and we took it out on a bike ride this morning to photograph. The sun was bright as you can see! I'm really happy with how this quilt came together…instead of all white background squares I made 7 blocks with a light gray background to mix it up a bit. The colors are all soft and muted except for some bright pops of orange, navy, and green.
The trickiest part of this quilt is matching the seams in the end…and the seams don't nest or lock…so I pin the seams as I sew to help them match up a bit better.
The fabrics are a wide variety from my stash, and the pattern is Basket Case. I modified the pattern a bit as mentioned at the bottom of my last post.
And if you weren't already feeling a little fall in the air:
we've got a little (or a lot) of orange in the garden already!

Design in Scandinavia
- Dates: April 20, 1954 through May 16, 1954
- Collections: Decorative Arts
April 1954: Brilliant Examples of Contemporary Home Furnishings To Be Shown from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden
Charles Nagel, Director of The Brooklyn Museum, announces that the museum will open to the public on Tuesday, April 20, the exhibition, "Design in Scandinavia," containing more than 700 examples of contemporary home furnishings designed and executed in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
This exhibition, which will tour the United States and Canada for the next three and one-half years, came to America in response to an invitation and at considerable cost to the people of the four countries represented. During the many months of careful preparation, designers, manufacturers, critics and design society officials in Scandinavia overcame differences of opinion among themselves and strained their facilities in order to present the best possible picture of contemporary design in their countries. Furniture, ceramics, textiles, silver and stainless steel, all of new design, are included in the exhibit which will remain at the museum through May 16.

April 20, 1954: Members of the Scandinavian diplomatic corps to this country were among the distinguished guests attending the brilliant festivities and preview dinner for the opening of the exhibition, "Design in Scandinavia," at The Brooklyn Museum, last evening (Monday, April 19.)
The exhibition opened to the public today and will remain on view through May 16. Mr. Charles Nagel, Director of the museum, presided at the ceremonies which took place in the museum's Sculpture Court. Co-sponsored by the American Scandinavian Foundation, the dinner was preceded by a reception for diplomats and leaders in American-Scandinavian activities in this country.
Special guests included Honrik de Kauffmann, Ambassador from Denmark; Erik Boheman, Ambassador from Sweden; Wilholm Munthe de Morgenstierne, Ambassador from Norway; Johan Albert Nykoff, Minister from Finland. James J. O'Brien represented Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York City. Robert E. Blum, president of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences of which the museum is a part, extended a welcome to guests.
Lithogow Osborne, president of the American Scandinavian Foundation, and Ake Huldt, managing director of the Swedish Society of Arts, Crafts and Industrial Design, also addressed the audience. Mr. Nagel referred to the exhibition, which includes 700 objects for the [h]ome, as "an impressive demonstration to this country of the cooperative endeavors among the four countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden." He said he felt privileged that The Brooklyn Museum was able to bring this design exhibition "to the door of a potential audience of 8,000,000 people."
"Design in Scandinavia" will tour museums in the United States and Canada for three years.

April 21, 1954: More than 700 objects of Scandinavian design, all for the home, are on view today in The Brooklyn Museum. A feeling of quiet, good elegance pervades the entire exhibition area on the first floor where bright lights dance about on silver, glass, porcelain and handsome woods in forms and patterns of great variety.
The exhibition, "Design in Scandinavia", will remain at the museum through May 16 after which it will tour museums in the United States and Canada for the next three years.
"Design in Scandinavia" contains a generous, comprehensive sampling of what is now being produced in the four countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Denmark is conspicuous for its mature and highly cultured silversmith's art, her porcelain and her elegant furniture. Sweden is distinguished by its glass, with its many facets, and its strict grace. Norway delights with her colorful domestic crafts and woven goods while Finland enters the scene with multicolored, emotional patterns of its rugs. Although fashioned thousands of miles away but to fulfill very similar decorative functions, these objects fit beautifully into the contemporary American home.
Exhibition's Philosophy
As stated in the handbook accompanying the exhibition, the Scandinavian design movement has this aim:
"To create surroundings which satisfy the needs of modern man and simply and naturally fulfill practical and esthetic requirements--and not least to teach people to realize the values of such surroundings--this has been our ideal, and, however imperfect the result, this ideal has inspired us."
The architectural framework of the Exhibition designed by [a] Dane and constructed in Sweden, provides a symbolically neutral background for displaying the work of the four countries.
No dominant nationality emerges; the personality of each country is distinct. This reality is revealed, for example, in the chairs on display. The Danish chairs, with their intricate workmanship and highly sculptured surfaces come from a country where hand operations in small shops are very much the rule. In contrast, the Swedish chairs are more frequently designed for factory production. Suave in line, comfortable, well made, equally successful, they are conceived from a different point of view and are produced in the light of a different set of economic circumstances. Finnish fabrics, for the most part, are characterized by muted color in arrangements of very close values. Upholstery materials from Norway are in more intense colors and reveal a national preference for well defined patterns and bold contrasts between light and dark values.
"Design in Scandinavia" has been made lively and stimulating through the juxtaposition of the self revealing arts and crafts of four mature, happily individualized nations. In turn, among the presentations of each country are to be seen infinite varieties of personal expression and dozens of highly original solutions to the problems of making beautiful the surroundings for life today.

BBC Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and Greg James are packing their bags early and taking their shows to Carlisle a week before Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The pair will broadcast their shows live from Cumbria from Monday (May 9) to Friday (May 13) when they arrive a week ahead of the main event. In addition to their daily shows, Chris, Greg and their teams will be getting out and about in the city and surrounding areas, meeting the residents and celebrating all that Carlisle has to offer.
The pair will immerse themselves in the local community for a whole week, and they also plan to meet the city's students in a Q&A session during the week.
Chris Moyles says: "The Big Weekend is always the highlight of my year and I'm so excited that we get to go up to Carlisle for a whole week beforehand and settle in before everyone else arrives. I'm hoping the good people of Carlisle are going to show us a good time!''
Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is the UK's biggest free ticketed festival and 40,000 lucky music fans will be able to enjoy performances across four stages at Carlisle Airfield where the event is taking place – the Main Stage; the In New Music We Trust Stage; the Outdoor Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage. This year's artists include, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding.
A truly multiplatform experience, Radio 1's Big Weekend will be broadcast on Radio 1, with a major interactive presence online and many live performances available to watch on demand. There will be highlights on BBC Three and extended performances can be seen via BBC Red Button on digital TV during the weekend.
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

This is the best ping pong / table tennis shot I have ever seen. Based on the look of the guy who got beaten on the point, he hadn't ever seen anything like this either. In the immediate aftermath of the shot, there is a brief moment where he maybe wants the shot to be called illegal. Then he just accepts that he had something awesome happen against him, so he applauds the shot. If there was ever actual cause for one of those excessive ping pong celebrations, this shot is it.

Editor's note: This month's article showcases the unique fuel system our Project Unfair Camaro will need to power a 1,400hp monster while still being street-friendly, serviceable, and reliable. The tank fabrication takes place in John Parsons' small shop near Orlando, Florida. —Jim Campisano
With Project Unfair, the drivetrain system is being asked to perform in many different ways: street driving, road racing, autocross, standing-mile, and drag racing. Each type has a unique set of requirements for maximum performance and reliability. This month's article will focus on how to supply the engine with fuel using the latest in fuel delivery components and electronic control systems.
Project Unfair will cover the vast differences in operating environments that are needed in today's high-horsepower, multi-use, pro-touring type cars—and then some. It will use very little fuel while cruising down the highway and idling but will need a very large amount of fuel when it comes time to make an 8-second quarter-mile pass or 200-plus-mph top-end run. It also needs to be able to perform well at lower fuel levels on a road or autocross course when the fuel sloshes from side to side.
On EFI cars, if the pump ever runs dry, the fuel pressure will fall and the engine will stop running. Under boost, the effects are much worse: Catastrophic engine damage can occur due to a lean condition. Keeping the engine supplied with enough fuel at all times is a must. Standard pump-on-a-stick or other aftermarket designs just won't do for Unfair, nor will having it break down on the side of the road due to an overheated or vapor-locked fuel pump.
After battling various fuel-related problems over the years, car owners John Parsons and Frank Serafine (owner of Prodigy Customs) turned to VaporWorx, a new company dedicated to solving difficult fuel delivery problems.
Borrowing the technology of today's supercars, Unfair will be using dual Cadillac CTS-V fuel modules to do the pumping. The fuel module is an integrated fuel pump and surge reservoir. When fuel runs away from the module during hard cornering, the reservoir keeps the pumps submerged in fuel. A series of venturi pumps draw in fuel from the main tank to keep the reservoir full and overflowing with cool fuel. The modules are spring pre-loaded to the bottom of the tank so the venturi pumps can capture all of the available fuel in the main tank.
The supercharged engine in Unfair will also require a method to increase fuel pressure as boost rises. As manifold pressure increases, it pushes against the fuel injector outlet, reducing the amount of fuel coming out of the injector. The more boost from the supercharger, the harder the fuel system has to work to overcome manifold pressure to inject fuel into the intake port. The pressure range from idle to full boost could be more than 30 psi: from negative 14 psi at full engine vacuum to more than positive 16 psi at full boost. It's a significant problem because the more boost there is, the more fuel the engine needs.
In order to keep the pressure across the injector constant, a rising-rate fuel pressure system is used. This is usually done with a mechanical fuel pressure regulator, but for Unfair a VaporWorx system will be used to control the speed of the fuel pumps and maintain proper fuel pressure.
Using a combination of MAP and fuel pressure data, the electronic systems will change the speed of the fuel pumps to maintain the necessary fuel pressure. This reduces the amount of heat added to the fuel load, increases the fuel pump life, and reduces electrical power demands. During cruise conditions the pumps will need 2-3 amps with an average output voltage of 6V (see sidebar), and they will consume 15-20 amps at an output voltage of 13V at full boogie.
Since the electronic control system does not need a bypass return like mechanical regulators, only a single pressure line from the fuel tank to the engine fuel rail is needed. The two 3/8-inch outputs of the modules will be tied into an AN10 "Y," and a 5/8-inch fuel line will be routed to the fuel rails. No external filters are needed since the fuel modules have them built in, so the plumbing from the tank to the engine will be a snap.
The tank construction consists of 0.125-inch 5052 aluminum sheet with custom VaporWorx mounting rings to hold the fuel modules. The rings allow the use of the OEM sealing O-rings and cam locks so that repairs and replacement parts are easy to find.
The fuel level sensor wiring will pass through a bung made to house a hermetically sealed bulkhead that encases an 80-psi-rated PTFE covered wire. Standard wire cannot be used since it can wick up the wire and create a leak. John's own II Much Fabrication tank vent system will provide fuel slosh control, filtered air, and eliminate fuel smell.
Follow along now as John shows how he integrates a custom aluminum fuel tank with VaporWorx parts and GM CTS-V fuel modules.
