Nairobi — Fighting in southern Somalia has hampered efforts to confirm a possible spread of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) from neighbouring Kenya to the Lower Juba Region where seven people have died after showing symptoms of the rare, contagious haemorrhagic disease, Somali health officials said.
The deaths were reported in Dobley, 18 km north of the Kenyan border, in the last five days. "The dead are mainly nomadic herders," said Hassan Mursal, a clinical officer in nearby Afmadow hospital. "The number could be higher but because of the current insecurity in the area there is no way of getting the full picture."
Mahamud Haji Hassan Jabra, an epidemiologist with the European Union-funded Somali Animal Health Service Project, said numerous reports of animal abortions - a key indicator of the disease - had been received from the area. But plans to send two teams to verify the outbreak would only go ahead once the security situation allowed.
"Our focal point in the area has reported the clinical signs of the disease but we need to confirm this by testing the samples collected," he said. "If it turns out to be RVF it will have a devastating impact on the livelihoods of the pastoralists, who have suffered two years of drought followed by heavy flooding."
Dobley is close to the Kenyan border where fighting continues between Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) remnants and Ethiopian-backed Somali government soldiers, who have been chasing them since the UIC were forced out of Mogadishu and much of southern Somalia.
A humanitarian source in the area told IRIN on Tuesday that casualties had been reported when planes carried out air strikes in villages close to Dobley. "We have reports of 22 people killed by the bombing," he said. International media reported that the planes were American, targeting suspected al-Qaeda operatives.
"Most of those killed were in a convoy of donkeys carrying sugar to the outlying villages," which have been rendered inaccessible due to recent heavy rains, said the source, who requested anonymity. Another source told IRIN there were reports of a number of armed militia in the area. "We don't know whether they belonged to the Islamic courts or not but some people are saying that they were there."
The bombardment took place in an area known as Jiiro, a "very good pastureland, with the highest concentration of cattle in the Juba valley", said the humanitarian source, adding that whether there were militants in the area or not, "civilians had been hit".
The fighting, he added, was making "it impossible to access the area and help the pastoralists".
Addressing the outbreak
An epidemic of RVF is first manifested in unexplained abortions among livestock. However, Jabra cautioned that "some of the symptoms of RVF, such as fever, headache and muscle pain are also common in flu and malaria".
According to the United Nations World Health Organization, the disease is endemic in Africa, naturally occurring in livestock but occasionally affecting humans. Animals are infected with the RVF virus by the Aedes mosquito. Characterised by bleeding from all orifices, it is spread to humans via infected mosquitoes; through contact with blood or other body fluids; or from the organs of infected animals.
The disease mainly occurs after heavy rainfall - southern Somalia has been experiencing El Ni-o-type rains, which flooded many parts of the country. "The conditions in Lower Juba region are conducive to an outbreak," said Jabra.
At least 60 people in Kenya's Northeastern Province have died from the disease and last week, health experts warned it may have begun to spread. "All evidence suggests that the disease is still spreading," said Kariuki Njenga, a virologist and laboratory director for the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Kenya.
The worst affected districts are Garissa, where 100 cases, including 40 deaths, have been reported; and Ijara, where 20 out of 42 people infected with RVF have died. The CDC has set up a field laboratory to test suspected cases and is helping the Kenyan government to develop a vaccination strategy.
A team from the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation is also working with Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia to address the outbreak. "Together with officials from the WHO and various international aid agencies present in the area, the FAO team is helping to draw up preparedness, communication, surveillance and response activities," according to a FAO statement.
The last outbreak of RVF in Somalia was in 1997 and led to a ban on livestock from Somalia by the Arab Gulf States. Livestock exports had been the backbone of the Somali economy.

Roberto Di Matteo believes Eden Hazard had the potential to become an "artist" for Chelsea in the same mould as Gianfranco Zola.
Hazard only made his Premier League debut on Sunday but such was his impact against Wigan that the £32 million man is already being tipped to be one of the stars of this season and beyond. Manager Di Matteo warned against making snap judgments about the 21-year-old playmaker but admitted he could see similarities with Zola, who he starred alongside for both Chelsea and Italy during the 1990s.
He said: "It's difficult to compare players. Gianfranco was a wonderful talent, an artist I would say. Eden might become an artist as well. After one game, it's probably a bit too early. He had a good start, but it's one game out of 38 in the league.
"It certainly gives him and the others confidence, starting with a new club like that. It was a pleasant day for him. He's a talented man, a talented young boy. We'll have to see how he grows into a man, and how quickly he will be an important player for Chelsea."
Di Matteo was right to play down comparisons between someone who has made two appearances for Chelsea and a man often voted the club's best player of all time.But an assist less than two minutes into your Premier League debut and another five minutes later made for an outstanding start, and his manager believes there is even more to come.
"It was great to see him enjoying himself as well, and getting his teeth into the Premier League," he said. "You're never quite sure how the new players will adapt, and I'm sure it will take him a bit of time to get used to the physicality and tempo of the Premier League."
Sunday was a crash course in both for Hazard, who afterwards shrugged off being the victim of more than one crude challenge. Di Matteo said: "It's good he got used to it quickly because that's how it's going to be.
"He's a strong man, a strong boy. Strongly built as well. It will certainly help him. We spoke during pre-season about the Premier League. He's a young man but he already has a lot of experience in terms of playing games. He knows how to handle himself."
Di Matteo insisted kicking Hazard was "not the way" to stop him anyway and even warned of the perils of doubling up on the Belgium star. "It will free up some space for other positions if they double-mark him."
That could include fellow new boy Oscar, who made his Chelsea debut as a replacement for Hazard on Sunday. Both delivered the kind of flair the European champions' billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich, has long craved and the pair could yet star in the same side.
Di Matteo is obsessed about finding the right "balance" between attack and defence but said: "Good players can always play together. That's what I've always believed. We'll need time to work together, get to know each other a bit better."
If you are only as good as your last game, Hazard will have three days to revel in Sunday's display before being challenged to do it all over again on his home debut tomorrow. Reading visit Stamford Bridge in a fixture brought forward due to Chelsea's UEFA Super Cup clash a week on Friday.
Di Matteo welcomed the opportunity to steal a march on the Blues' Premier League title rivals, with a win or draw seeing them go top of the table. Despite winning the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup last season, being league leaders is an honour Chelsea have not enjoyed for quite some time.
"It was in November 2010," Di Matteo said without drawing breath after being asked when his side last led the way. "We haven't been top for a long, long time. We have the opportunity. Hopefully, we will play a good game and manage to win."
Di Matteo insisted there would be no new arrivals before the match, saying there was "no news" when quizzed over suggestions Cesar Azpilicueta was poised to complete his protracted move from Marseille.

A Virginia-based company announced Tuesday that it will aim to mine asteroids near Earth for precious metals, water, and other materials, making it the second firm to release such an announcement in several months.
The company, Deep Space Industries (DSI), stated that it will launch its Firefly fleet of spacecraft in 2015 to evaluate close-by asteroids. The company will start mining the asteroids before 2025, according to a press release.
"This is the first commercial campaign to explore the small asteroids that pass by Earth," said DSI Chairman Rick Tumlinson in the release. "Using low cost technologies, and combining the legacy of our space program with the innovation of today's young high tech geniuses, we will do things that would have been impossible just a few years ago."
Last April, another asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, revealed that it would similarly prospect and later mine near-Earth asteroids. Planetary Resources is seeking to mine the asteroids' platinum reserves.
The Fireflies weigh around 55 pounds each and will spend two to six months in space, according to DSI. In 2016, the company will send up larger, 70-pound Dragonfly spacecraft to bring back samples of the asteroids, returning between 60 and 150 pounds.
"My smartphone has more computing power than they had on the Apollo moon missions," Tumlinson said. "We can make amazing machines smaller, cheaper, and faster than ever before. Imagine a production line of Fireflies, cocked and loaded and ready to fly out to examine any object that gets near the Earth."
Potentially, asteroids have extremely valuable resources including platinum, silicon, nickel, and water—which could be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen to make rocket fuel, meaning the asteroids could be used as refueling areas.
"More than 900 new asteroids that pass near Earth are discovered every year," DSI CEO David Gump said in the release. "They can be like the Iron Range of Minnesota was for the Detroit car industry last century—a key resource located near where it was needed. In this case, metals and fuel from asteroids can expand the in-space industries of this century. That is our strategy."
When Planetary Resources announced that it would mine asteroids, it stated that a 1,640-foot asteroid rich in platinum could contain as much platinum as all the platinum mined in human history.
In the press release, DSI stated that NASA officials have been briefed on their plans, adding that potentially manned Mars expeditions could be less expensive and more efficient if they could use an "asteroid-derived propellant."
"Missions would require fewer launches if the fuel to reach Mars were added in space from the volatiles in asteroids," the release stated.

Sawmill Hollow Organic Farm
2159 Kennedy Ave.
Missouri Valley Iowa 51555United States
(712) 648-2432
modest fee to sample wine
Editor's Review
Once we got there, we found Sawmill Hollow Organic Farm to be a picturesque aronia berry farm located in Western Iowa in the heart of the Loess Hills.
Getting to Sawmill Hollow Organic Farm, an aronia berry farm, was no easy feat. After several wrong turns on desolate gravel roads, we finally reached the road to the family-owned farm. This narrow, sunken path was a bit scary to travel on, and there were several times we felt like we weren't in the right spot. When we finally arrived, there were no formal signs nor any indication that the farm is open to the public. It looks like any other homestead and farm, but rest assured, Sawmill Hollow wants visitors. Inside a barn perched on the top of a hill, you will find aronia berry products ranging from wine to jam. You can sample aronia wine for minimal cost, but there is no other formal presentation about the berries. Although picturesque, this farm doesn't offer much in terms of amenities. Perhaps it was an off day, but for the most part there was no ambience or authenticity to add to our experience. You can only gaze at an aronia berry plant for so long before growing bored with the encounter, which makes that confusing drive just not worth it.

Dungeon Alphabet

Actually, I've not got one yet. I'm saving up for it (the shipping is more than the cost of the book). My birthday's in April.ReplyDelete
I don't have it yet... but I'm thinking about it. :)ReplyDelete
The book is surprisingly cheap for a hardback (9.99 USD). If one were ordering a few books from Amazon (or Noble Knight, or whatever), it would be easy to add. I put off buying it myself until I decided to purchase a few other more substantive books, and included it in the bundle.ReplyDelete
I'm not so much a participent of the OSR as I am a bandwagon riding freeloader, however, I ordered mine a month ago, but it did not ship until this week. So I'm still waiting.ReplyDelete
I LOVE this book as well -- "Weird" is one of my favorites as well, along with "Zowie" -- and I urge all you folks who haven't picked the DA up yet to seriously consider treating yourself to this book. A hell of a value!ReplyDelete
I avoided the shipping costs, as my FLGS ordered several copies. Wonderful book, well worth the $10!ReplyDelete
I don't have it yet either.ReplyDelete
Seems like you're not the last. I don't have it either. Frankly I don't even know why.ReplyDelete
Well, maybe I do know. I have tons of stuff I haven't looked at too closely since buying. I have started to read Stonehell, though. Damn is that backstory depressing!

Are you running an Nvidia card and having Battlefield 3 stuttering or mouse lag problems? Well, you're in luck.
Antichrist from the PCGamesHardware forums came up with a simple solution that only requires inputting a command into the game's console.
Open the console by hitting the ` or ~ key (you know, that mostly unused button above "Tab" and to the left of "1″) and enter the following command:
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
Voila! That should fix any stuttering you may have with the game. If your PC still can't run the game smoothly then you may just be bottlenecked for some other reason. Be sure you consult the game's minimum and recommended requirements.
Word from PCGamesHardware is that this command will allow GTX 260 cards to run the game perfectly. The site even goes on to say that Geforce 8 and 9 cards should be able to run Battlefield 3 better after inputting the console command.
An option in the Geforce driver panel also adjusts the prerender limit. Modifying that will affect all games that run on your Geforce card so keep that in mind. Using the console command should be fine for your purposes.

Did He Just Compare Cullen Jenkins To Tom Brady?
Posted February 26, 2013
Hollywood my man I know you love you some veterans despite how good or bad they are. As long as they have some tenure you are all for it. It's is a refreshing twist to the businessman. A boss who overpays his staff despite their production. I honestly don't know how anyone can stay in business with that type of mentality, but it's refreshing to see as opposed to these corporate Wall Street suck jobs who try to grab every penny they can from the common man and cry broke at the same time. With that being the case Hollywood are you truly trying to say that Mike Patterson and Cullen Jenkins deserve to be treated the same as multiple Super Bowl winning and appearing Tom Brady? Since Cullen Jenkins signed a 5 year contract with the Eagles the team has a sub .500 record. Mike Patterson hasn't been an elite player his entire time in Philly and has been injured and average the past few seasons. These guys are stop gap players who are overpaid and can be replaced by younger versions via the draft who will cost less money. Now of course there are some veteran players who are over 30 the Eagles have given extensions to in the past, but the Eagles wisely never gave those players more than 3 years. Tre Thomas, Jon Runyan, Donovan McNabb, and Brian Dawkins come to mind just off the top of my head. Since Roseman has taken over he has given long term extensions and signed several players over 30 to longterm deals and frankly none of them have turned out well. Vick, Jenkins, Babin, Nnamdi, Celek, Cole, and Herremans, are guys who were over 30 or nearing 30 when the Eagles went against the Banner style and it didn't pay off. Many of those guys have now been forced to restructure or have simply been cut. The team has a losing record since making these extensions. None of the players have been the leaders they were made out to be. Heck there are stories that Nnamdi ate lunch in his car to avoid people! It's clear to me the Eagles have to get back to what they did before. Drafting an elite class quarterback, drafting young talented players, developing a great young line, and signing away other teams young players (and their own) to extensions preferably under market value. Keep them hungry for the big payday only to find it never coming here in Philly.

I think you need a mix of youth and veteran players. When I scan the Eagle roster I see very little in the way of homegrown veterans. Players on their second or third contract. That continuity plays an important role in winning superbowls. You cant just buy it in free agency. Is Patterson a world beater? No but he is a veteran that will step up ina big game . A player that knows how to play at the playoff level. Every player has a value equivalent to his talent. Patterson will get his money barring injury and it will probably be close to what he is scheduled to get from the Eagles. Jenkins will get paid so somewhere in the league a coach or personnel guy will value them accordingly. But my cap point is and its a fact that the Eagles over the span of years of the salary cap spend significantly less than average out of the remaining NFL teams. That means simply put they are saving and pocketing money. Period. So you can throw the age factors and the players ability around anyway you want but the fact remains the Eagles are cheap.
Your point doesn't equate to your problem. Jenkins was an Eagle for two seasons. Patterson was on his 2nd contract. NEITHER OF THEM ARE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE CHANCES OF THE EAGLES WINNING A SUPER BOWL. Let me ask you a question. Do you pay full price for a service that you don't use or one that doesn't work as well as it should?
I want to see on paper that his claims that the Eagles are always at the bottom of the league in spending are correct. The Eagles may go into every season with money to spend but they usually spend it on players whose contracts are about to run out that they want to keep. Have they had money to carry over most years, yes but isn't that smart spending?...why go into every season having to dump salaries and not being able to help yourself in the coming off season? I think a lot of the claims that the Eagles are ALWAYS at the bottom in spending started when the Eagles went cheap on free agent wide receivers in Reid's early days. Ray Didinger said on WIP a few months ago that he thinks there is nothing to the claims that the Eagles are always at the bottom in spending and also stated you need to look at where they are at the end of the season and not at the start. Look at the big free agents that the Eagles have signed. They have brought in the top free agent (or at least one of the top) in at least 4 of the 14 years Reid was here...Runyan got the biggest paid out to a lineman when he was originally signed...TO and Kearse...Samuel...Asomugha and the rest of that crew. The other Andrews got a huge deal and they went out and brought in the top fullback at that time in Weaver. Look at what most of the fans on yardbarker are calling for this year...one top free agent and fill ins...the Eagles do that more times that not.
Just recently the Buccaneers were so far under the cap they had to overpay guys to get within standards. He cried when the Eagles didn't use money to go after free agents. It didn't work so now he's crying about them trying to fix the problem. Dude just loves to whine.
Go to Eaglecap.com
Really, hollywood? You're suggesting I go to the site that I told you to go to when you were whining about the Eagles being 23 million under last year? The site I told you to go to and take a look at where they would against next year's cap (which is now this year)? I know where they are this year (under but mainly because of last year's carry over)...what I would like to see is where the Eagles average out over Lurie's ownership. I would guess it isn't nearly as bad as you think.
The Eagles will be 40 million under the cap if they let go of Nhamdi & DRC. They were 23 million last year. Some teams fall within two million between years. Explain how they spend as much as a team thats below the cap in 2012 by 2 million and below the cap by two million in 2013 and the Eagles could be net 63 million below the cap between the two years. Do the math and explain how they are spending like other top franchises.
2010 Eagles spent 131 Million against the cap. That placed them 11th in the league and slightly above the Patriots. The Redskins and Cowboys spent the most proving spending money doesn't make a team better. 2011 The Eagles were only a little over 2 million under the cap. The Chiefs were 32 million under, the Bucs were 29 million under, and in fact the Eagles were 5th most in spending. Soo much for that they never spend stance hey Hollywood? 2012 the Eagles were 5th in the most cap money available. The Ravens spent the most, but it should be noted the other two teams ( the Saints and Raiders) were two of the worst in football. It should also be noted that with the Ravens being so close to the cap they are going to have to work very hard to keep their players. I sense some cuts and restructures coming don't you?
Good work, Eazy but you know hollywood will just ignore this and keep whining. The Eagles spend money...they just don't always put it in the right place. Banner may have taken advantage of young up and coming players early but the players didn't have to sign those deals if they didn't want to (and this was another reason the Eagles got labeled cheap). At least the Eagles never had any cap casualties because they had to manuever to get under the cap...I hope this was just a rare occurence because of the 2011 free agency run and isn't going to be a common theme with Roseman.
I know. Facts are wasted on the stupid.
[The 49ers do not plan to use the franchise tag, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports citing two league sources, which means Goldson, a Pro Bowl and All-Pro safety, will get to test his worth on the open market. You'll recall that "Good Cop" Jim Harbaugh said that Goldson "deserved" a long-term contract.
At the combine, general manager Trent Baalke said, "You can't pay everybody, and you certainly can't pay everybody if you're overpaying others."]
BTW this guy is a 28 year old all pro safety for the the NFC Champions!
Why not? He compared Kolb to Brady and then tried to claim that one or both us did. We know that hollywood's ignorance on how the cap works and what teams have to do to stay below that amount and also what a new coaching staff will do on a 4-12 team that has been floundering for years is nothing but him using everything he can to get his shots in at the FO.
It's Hollywood crying for the sake of crying. Changing his stance thinking that helps his crying argument more. Nobody should be crying for the pockets of any of these guys. Of course the true goal is to rip the organization as a whole. There is nothing new to the Hollywood game.
I'm pretty sure he's saying Vick n asomo r better cause they don't deserve a pay cut but Brady took one.
Some players know what it takes to help make or keep their teams competitive and on target to possibly make a Super Bowl run (they also get that those contracts aren't fully guaranteed)...hats off to Brady. I wonder if he had to discuss his paycut with Gisele?
From what I heard his extension is all guaranteed money. So the cap hit is less but in the end he gets more or something like that.
I think they are all overpaid so you wont find me shedding any tears for either of them. They stunk last year. I believe contracts should be result oriented anyway. But if my memory serves me correctly you want the contracts to be enforced if a player is reaching goals and wants more but hypocritically you want the player to surrender if he isnt meeting the goals. Isnt that what they call a one way mofo.
The description you are trying rip him for being hypocritical is exactly the same as the one you support. With that being the case you are the one who wrote the article complaining about money.
I do think players shouldn't hold out and should play out their contracts...I'm not going to lie. I have also stated in the past that some players do deserve contract extensions when outplaying their contracts but holding out (especially with the Eagles) isn't the way to get it done. What I don't like is when the players sit back and whine that they are only making 3-4 million a year while forgetting about that 10 million dollar signing bonus they got 3 years ago that is still affecting the cap and IS a huge part of that contract. I also don't like hearing the Lito Sheppards of the world start regretting a 7 year deal in his second to third year (while being a pain in the ass) especially when he's missed 6-8 games out of that year and a half he's been playing under his new contract.

Depending on the toppings, pizza can have items from all of the four major food groups - meat, dairy, vegetables and grains. Pizza can easily be made at home with endless possibilities. This is a great dish to get children involved in by making topping selections and preparing the pizza. Thinking of toppings? Try a seafood lovers pizza with shrimp and crab or a Hawaiian pizza with lean ham and pineapple. You can make a Mexican pizza, substituting nonfat refried beans for the sauce and using ground turkey, onions, salsa, and avocado for the toppings or have a vegetarian pizza that is loaded with vegetables and low-fat cheese. Here are some more tips to add pizza to a healthier lifestyle:
•        Use a whole grain crust. Pre-made whole wheat pizza crust and whole wheat tortillas are available, or substitute whole wheat flour for part or all of the white flour used in the pizza crust recipe.
•        Use lots of sauce. Tomato sauce is an excellent source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may help prevent some chronic disease.
•        Cut back on the cheese. Although cheese is an excellent source of calcium, a lot of the calories of a pizza come from the cheese. Try a low-fat version such as 2% cheese or part-skim mozzarella and a light sprinkle of cheese.
•        Go lean protein. Try chopped chicken breast, lean ham, or turkey sausage as meat toppings to pizza. Also, try seafood and even beans to add protein without a lot of fat and calories.
•        Load up on vegetables. Use generous amounts of different types of vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, peppers, artichoke hearts, and onions. The possibility of vegetables that can be added is endless. Adding vegetables helps to add fiber and vitamins to the daily diet.

Interesting Technology. Looks like the definite future of wiring. If only they supported 8V servos and Rx's. I'd be on the Futaba train.
Now THAT is some cool technology.
Say I wanted all 10 servos to respond to channel 5, can I do that? Or more than one servo per channel? I missed thatpart
i don't know for certain, but i would assume yes. the information for channel 5 will be available to the entire bus, any servo can "tune-in" to channel 5. the only reason i can think of for it not working would be if the s-bus is a 2-way protocol for feedback, telemetry, etc.
this is the same concept used for intelligent theatrical & stage lighting. the fixtures are looped end to end, address is set on the fixture to correspond with the proper channels on the controller end. end result = 512 channels on a single 3 pin cable.

In the field of road transport, an intersection is a road junction where two or more roads either meet or cross at grade (they are at the same level). Such a road junction may also be called a crossroads.
Same may classify intersections as 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, 6-way, etc. depending on the number of road segments (arms) that come together at the intersection.
Another way of classifying intersections is by traffic control:
These left turn lanes are marked with an arrow bending into the direction of the left turn which is to be made from that lane only. The word "ONLY" in those lanes means that vehicles may only use them to make a left turn from there. In some other cases, a double-headed arrow may indicate vehicles may travel in either one of two directions from that lane. Traffic signals facing vehicles in left turn lanes often have a special green left turn arrow, indicating vehicles may turn left unhindered by oncoming traffic when this green arrow light is on. Even though the north-south street does not have left turn lanes, traffic may still turn left (unless otherwise not allowed) from the leftmost lane facing the intersection northbound or southbound. When there is no green left turn arrow, vehicles from that direction may enter the intersection to turn left only when there is a green light facing them and must yield to all oncoming traffic. There are intersections with no left turn lanes and many major intersections with left turn lanes for traffic from all directions. Streets without left turn lanes usually either have less traffic than streets with left turn lanes or are older streets where it is difficult to widen the street to accommodate the extra lane. Depending on the intersection, many other combinations of traffic signals (such as green, yellow, or red left or right arrows) and left or right turn lanes are possible. In areas where vehicles travel on the left side of the road, the preceding discussion about left turns applies to right turns instead. Often parallel parking on the side of a street is not allowed close to an intersection to allow traffic to flow through better near the intersection.
Turn lanes can have a dramatic effect on the safety of a junction. In rural areas, crash frequency can be reduced by up to 48% if left turn lanes are provided on both main-road approaches at stop-controlled intersections. At signalized intersections, crashes can be reduced by 33%. Results will be slightly lower in urban areas.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Tameka30 This Jersey was not what I expected. For the price we received a good jersey but I will never buy another one because the quality of it was not good. It was very thin and didn't have much on it. We bought this for my son for his 15th birthday because he been begging for one, but he didn't get what he was expecting. We bought my other sons one for their birthday from another place and we got two for the price we paid for this one and their jerseys was way better in quality and looks. I do not recommend this jersey to anyone. April 2, 2013

Publisher's Description
Fundamentalism has emerged as one of the most powerful forces at work in the world. However, it remains incomprehensible to large numbers of people. In The Battle for God, Karen Armstrong brilliantly and sympathetically shows us how and why fundamentalist groups came into existence and what they yearn to accomplish.
Focusing on Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim fundamentalism, she examines the ways in which these movements, while not monolithic, have each sprung from a dread of modernity -- and often in response to assault, sometimes unwitting, sometimes intentional, by the mainstream society.
Armstrong sees the fundamentalist groups as complex, innovative, and modern -- rather than throwbacks to the past -- but contends that they have failed in religious terms. Maintaining that fundamentalism often exists in symbiotic relationship with an aggressive modernity, each urging the other on to greater excess, she suggests compassion as a way to defuse what is now an intensifying conflict.

Exclusive! Castle Writer Terri Miller on Montgomery's Death, Beckett's Survival and Season 4 Plans
The Season 3 finale of Castle had fans gasping, crying and hanging on a cliff after the death of Captain Montgomery (Ruben Santiago-Hudson), the shooting of Det. Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), and Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion) finally saying "I love you" as she lay bleeding in his arms.
So what's next? Castle writer/producer Terri Miller (who's also married to creator Andrew Marlowe) emailed us from an undisclosed vacation spot to answer questions from Wetpaint and our readers about the decision to kill off a beloved character, whether Beckett will live — and if she'll remember those three little words if she does.
Wetpaint: When did you first make the decision to kill off Montgomery?
Terri Miller: It was a cold and rainy Thursday. A mysterious man in a sodden trench coat entered and threw open Marlowe's office door. "The Captain is the third cop, he grunted. He's the key to Johanna Beckett's murder."
Actually, Will Beall conceived the stories for "Knockdown" and "Knockout" as a whole based on conversations we'd had about how we might end the season and the next steps in Johanna Beckett's murder. He worked with Andrew to shape them so they fit in with the show's mythology. It was a decision we did not make lightly. Killing off one of the characters we created, part of our family was as angsty for us as it was for our fans.
Has it always been part of the plan that he was involved in Johanna Beckett's murder?
The decision to make Montgomery a part of the conspiracy evolved out of the storytelling. It was not something we planned going in.
How did Ruben take the news that Montgomery was dying?
Like a pro, like the gentleman he is. He was disappointed not to continue on but understood the creative reasons behind the decision.
How did the rest of the cast react when they first found out?
Everyone loves Ruben and we all feel it's been an honor to work with him. He's a good man, a great actor and across the board, everyone felt like we were losing a family member and an integral part of the team.
Were you afraid of a negative reaction from fans to Montgomery's death?
No. If we wrote in fear, no one would invest in our stories or our characters. We strive for truth in drama and without conflict, tension and suspense, why would you care at all? The greatest compliment of all is that fans have emotionally invested in our characters.
From Pam, a fan on our Facebook page: Will they bring someone new in to take Mongomery's place?
We're discussing that now. We will most likely bring in someone who is perhaps less accepting of Castle's presence and less supportive of Beckett to create more conflict in our precinct.
Clearly, Beckett will survive the shooting ( I believe Andrew's already spoken about her kicking around next season). And her mother's killer is still out there. Will that be a big arc next season as well?
Lets just say that it's something our characters need to deal with and leave it at that. Assuming Beckett survives!
From Terri on Facebook: Will Beckett remember Castle's "I LOVE YOU?"
That is something we will all be wondering. Did she hear him before she passed out? If she did, will she remember? Will Castle tell her again? If she does remember, how will she react? Will she even live? All good questions. Stay tuned.
Where will Beckett and Castle's relationship go from here?
Assuming Beckett survives, Castle and Beckett's relationship will continue to grow and change. Both have been through a horrible ordeal, the outcome of which has not been resolved. They will have to weather the fallout of Montgomery's death, Beckett's shooting, Castle's realization and expression of his feelings for her AND, they need to continue solving murders. The flow of their relationship will be organic and true to who they are and what they've been through together.
From Jordyn on Facebook: What else can we look forward to seeing and experiencing next season?
More murders. More mystery. More drama and more fun.
Will we get to see more of some of the other characters? Willl we get a Lanie episode? Or delve more into Ryan and Esposito's lives?
YES! We have oodles of material to mine from everyone. A good time will be had by all.
Jon Huertas told us that there was some talk about putting Esposito and Ryan at odds. And they got into a fight in the finale. Will we see that bromance go through trouble times in the future?
It's been discussed. Honestly don't know yet, but there are a couple of interesting scenarios.
What's up with Ryan's wedding, will we see that next season?
Well, something's gotta happen, right? Jenny doesn't strike me as the type to suffer a super-long engagement.
From Maggie on Facebook: Do you and Andrew ever disagree on plots or character development?
Yes, we do. There have been a couple of moments when I absolutely felt that a character would never do/say/feel something that shows up in a draft. Sometimes I win the debate, if I have a convincing argument. But, if we agree to disagree, the showrunner is the decider. However, Andrew appreciates a strong, well-thought-out point of view and considers any intelligent discussion, from any of the writers. We both feel that we have to allow the characters and the show to grow, and it's important to have that conflict in order for that to happen.
What has been your favorite memory from behind the scenes of the show?
The simple answer is, every time i see a scene we've written come to life, whether its one of my episodes or someone else's. Some of my favorite memories are on episodes I've conceived, walking onto the set and seeing what Alfred Sole and his team have created. In "Vampire Weekend" and in "Poof,You're Dead" the sets were mind-blowing.
I love the prep process when we all talk about our conception of the show, the mood, the look, the concrete aspects of props and costume. [Costume designer] Luke Reichle is so much fun to work with, as are our hair and make-up departments. Everyone is so fantastically creative.
Then, the actors say the words and it never gets old. Sometimes it just makes me giddy. I also had a fantastic time working with Alyssa Milano, hanging out and talking with her in her gorgeous wedding gown; Ii got a huge kick out of planning that wedding. I've been on the show since the pilot so there are so many moments of joy I've shared with the cast and crew, that it would be difficult to isolate one. It may sound corny, but I feel lucky that I get to do this every day.
What other shows do you watch? Any guilty pleasures?
I have way too many guilty pleasures. I am loving Game of Thrones. Glee! Mad Men. Shameless makes me feel very guilty. I love Celebrity Apprentice and I've been a fan of Grey's Anatomy from day one. I never missed an episode of Lost, and when it comes back, I will be a loyal Weeds watcher. One of Andrew and my favorites to watch together is Supernatural.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. The owner was lovely. The cottage was lovely. The surroundings were lovely. 10 out of 10 all round
We had a lovely h
We needed a break and to get away from it all, and we couldn't have wished for anything better. The lodge was well equiped and had everything we needed. It was spotless. Really enjoyed the hot tub and BBQ. Just across the road was a canal for lovely walks. The owner couldn't have been more helpful. Thoroughly recommend this lodge. We will be going again.
Really enjoyed our break. Great private space for the kids to play. Nice surroundings, helpful staff.
Took my Partner away for a birthday suprise and we fell in love. It is so peaceful and relaxing.
We will 100% be returning in the future and have highly recommended to friends!
We had a great stay at whipcott water. The lodge had amazing views and the hot tub was very relaxing.
Great location, very relaxing break. Lodge has all you need for a great time. Owner Sue very helpful.
Ideal location to walk the Great Western Canal.
The location was beautiful and the cottage was amazing, it felt homely. The owners are lovely. The hot tub is really nice. We had great time away.
Great location - central for exploring Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset and Devon, peaceful surroundings in a countryside setting next to the picturesque Great Western Canal, yet only 5 minutes drive to good amenities at Wellington.
The owner was lovely and very friendly. Nice walk by the canal. The cottage was nice, but not luxury - needs decoration update. Traffic from the road was bad from 6a.m. onwards, but as the nights went on we sort of got used to it. But holiday was nice.
Our holiday at whipcott was lovely..lovely chalet? Lovely people. Found some nice and pretty places on route. I only used the hot tub once but i enjoyed every minute.
The chalet was roomy. Clean and well equipped for our needs.
Was perfect, wish we was there now
Lovely stay in a clean and well equipped log. Hot tub was lovely too. On the whole a great find for the four of us for a weekend away.
We said we would not go back to whip cottage water simply because we like trying other places.
its ideally sited for visiting all of Somerset and beyond if you wish. Good base for walker's and cyclists. The lodge is just starting to look tired and many comments in the visitors book ( downstairs shower is cold even when on max, and more coat hooks in hallway and doors ) ignored. The hot tub was excellent though.

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
Commentary: Whos the Real Tut?
Volume 63 Number 3, May/June 2010
What DNA, CT scans, and archaeology tell us
It was all settled. CT scans revealed that Tutankhamun had a nasty leg fracture, and in 2007 Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, rendered his verdict: "He was not murdered as many people thought. He had an accident when he was hunting in the desert. Falling from a chariot made this fracture in his left leg and this really is in my opinion how he died." Septicemia (blood infection) or a fat embolism (release of fat into the blood stream) was to blame, and science had, through Hawass, spoken.
Everyone duly recalibrated their images of Tut. Long dismissed as a minor, ineffectual child pharaoh, the "Boy King" was reimagined as an avid sportsman. Now, further analysis of Tut's CT scans, those of close relatives, and DNA studies may require another image makeover, thanks to results just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) by Hawass, Carsten Pusch (a DNA specialist from the University of Tübingen), and colleagues. But did the researchers get a little ahead of the evidence in some of their interpretations? The media, looking for short, snappy headlines, certainly did. The sportsman king and chariot fall were dropped. Now, Tut is a youth with a clubfoot and cleft palate, a "frail" and "sickly" teen, according to the headlines. "A sudden leg fracture, possibly introduced by a fall, might have resulted in a life threatening condition when a malaria infection occurred," write Hawass, Pusch, and colleagues.
In our story "Warrior Tut" (March/April), W. Raymond Johnson of the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, offered a different view, noting that the throwsticks, spears, bows and arrows, and chariots in Tut's tomb had been used, showing the young pharaoh's athleticism. (Among the scenes from his tomb, Tut is shown on a speeding chariot hunting ostrich with bow and arrow.) Moreover, Johnson has identified sculptures showing Tut in battle against Egypt's foes, Nubians and Asiatics. Details—severed hands skewered on spears, an Asiatic leader held in a cage—are not known in any other Egyptian depiction, suggesting they represent real scenes rather than stock propaganda images. Did Tut lead his armies into the field? It could well be.
What about Tut's newly discovered disabilities? In fact, the cleft palate (not the same as cleft lip) had been noted when he was scanned back in 2005 and was characterized by the researchers then as "slight," so it isnt news and wasn't debilitating. The JAMA report states flatly, "We identified several normal anatomical variants, such as an incomplete cleft palate." The clubfoot? That diagnosis may be okay, though more data than whats been published would help support it (or not). The same goes for the identification of osteo-necrosis (dying off of tissue) in two bones of the left foot. But how debilitating it all was is open to question. The sum total is that Tut had a bum left foot—nothing to stop him from riding in his chariot on the hunt or into battle.
As for malaria, Tut's mummy and those of two of his great-grandparents and one other yielded genetic evidence of infection. Did it contribute to Tut's death? The JAMA paper says only, "When the infection occurred, its severity and whether it could have caused death...is not known."
Based on the DNA, Hawass and Pusch reconstructed Tut's family tree, identifying the mummy from Tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings as Akhenaten, his father, and the one known as the Younger Lady from Tomb 35 (not the famous Nefertiti) as his mother. But several earlier examinations concluded the Tomb 55 mummy was around 20 years old—a decade too young to be Akhenaten. Although they now say this mummy was in his mid-30s or older, appropriate for Akhenaten, the current researchers offer no evidence for it.
Identification of Tut's mother as the Younger Lady, said to be an unknown, full sister of Akhenaten is not impossible, but only two queens of Akhenaten's appear prominently in the archaeological record, Nefertiti and Kiya. More startling is the single line in an appendix, not elaborated upon, which says, "The head injuries of the Younger Lady...were lethal." Tut's mom a trauma victim?
We know more about Tut than ever, but do we have a "true" picture? Was Tut a man of action or a teenage basket case? How did he die? Who were his parents? It is too early to conclude, as Hawass did back in 2005 when the CT scans of Tut were done: "These results will close the case of Tutankhamun, and the king will not need to be examined again. We should now leave him at rest." They won't, but we should.

The NL Central got a lot weaker this year with no Pujols, Larussa, or Fielder and the Reds will always find a way to mess themselves. I think this could be the year for the Cubs.
in town for free camps
The NL Central got a lot weaker this year with no Pujols, Larussa, or Fielder and the Reds will always find a way to mess themselves. I think this could be the year for the Cubs.
I shall likely be glued to the radio this afternoon, attending the game in spirit only. I am very excited about the 2012 campaign and the potential this team has to own the AL Central Division.
I must admit, the temptation to "work" from our lunchroom (which has a plasma TV) is strong today.
Have a most excellent Opening Day, Detroit as well as all of Tiger Nation!
I have to listen online, too lazy to get the MLB TV package for Mario and Rod. Listen frequently to Dan Dickerson and Jim Price. They're pretty good.
All you Michiganders relish your Tigers. Opening day isn't the same when I'm stuck in Chicago and I hate the Sox and am indifferent about the Cubs AND I'm at work. Until I get a slingbox (not likely soon due to cost/logistical issues) I won't see much of them this summer.
/cue sad trombone
with Hawk Harrelson as my 'home market' announcer. My condolences.
I upgraded to MLB.TV premium pretty much just so I wouldn't have to hear him when Seattle goes to Chicago. So, that's like 6 games tops a year. It was worth the extra 20 bucks.
On the North Side and must say Hawk's call of a game makes any other homer announcer seem completely impartial by comparison. HH is total caricature of a professional announcer.
MLB.TV, dude. Well worth the price of admission, especially if you have a PS3 or Xbox 360 and can watch it on your TV.
The NL East should be interesting this year. The Phillies should still be very good thanks to their pitching, but they won't be as dominant as in years past with injuries to guys like Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. A lot of people are expecting big years from the Nats and possibly even the Marlins too, and Atlanta should compete as always. I normally don't follow the NL too much, but this could be an interesting division race. The same is true for the AL East, as Toronto is expected to improve this year as well. Should be a good season!
The dredded double post. My appologies.
will end in RED OCTOBER. Reds have locked up Joey Votto for 10 years, Aroldis Chapman throwing flames, and a solid rotation of Cueto/Latos/Arroyo/Leake/Bailey. I'm fired up!
Yeah, but are you getting league mvp Votto or inner ear infection/wtf is up with Votto? Plus this means bye bye Phillips. He'll be gone by the trade deadline. Plus you still have Baker waiting in the wings to throw a wet towel on the season if things are going too well. I'm glad for your enthusiasm, and I actually root for the Reds as my NL team, but they always seem to come up just short since they got rid of Sweet Lou (ex Yankee, just sayin).
A small market like Cinnci can't carry the weight of these MLB mega deals, IMO.
Though I'm stuck in Nashville working all day and can't see the game live in person or on tv, I'll be listening and gamecasting every chance that I can. Unfortunately, wedding and honeymoon festivities will be using much of my PTO this year and baseball mini-vacations will take a hit in 2012. Got to save a few days for A2 visits!
I'll be semi-content going home, firing up the PS3, and watching the archived game with an Oberon in hand. Feels almost like home...
Please never compare the tradition, national significance, or entertainment value of MLB and PGA again. The most I've ever been interested in golf is when I was waiting to see which porn star/diner waitress claimed to sleep with Tiger next. The "may have been Cuba" comment is gold though.
Opening Day.
I think the fact that there are several baseball threads and no Masters threads on the front page answers that question. The Masters is also the only show in town if you're a golf fan where "opening day" is spread over 15 games and two days (or two weeks, depending on what you count). So, I would not take your bet about the ratings because I'm sure the Masters would be higher. I wonder if it would be higher than the combined ratings of the top 3 or 5 mlb games though.
Sunday at the Masters, if it's Tiger in contention or someone else intriguing, like McIlroy at the US Open last year. Otherwise opening day. This year Opening Day probably wins anyway, with Prince's first game as a Tiger, and JV on the mound. Go Tigs
For a real comparison.
Its like when NASCAR claims to have the highest attendance each weekend yet CFB and NFL blow it's doors off.
this isn't opening day. there are 4 opening days this year because the baseball schedulers are a bunch of idiots. how can i argue that opening day should be a national holiday when there are 4 of them? i can see looking past the opening in japan and even the special day opening the new park in miami. but half of the teams open tomorrow. it's so stupid!
It should be Opening week...How can there be 4 opening days!?
Go Tribe!
Please, go easy on us, Tigers. We are but fragile souls.
Can anybody make any suggestions on how to watch the game today on an iPhone? I don't believe you can to it through the MLB app because of blackout restrictions. Correct me if I am wrong.
Not sure of watching the game, but I did hear that the Iheart radio app will have have most if not all the games available to stream the radio broadcasts.
Great match up to start the season. Lester vs. Verlander. Steak and eggs. Let's go Sox.
Let's hope Lester has a HUGE bounce back year after last year's chicken and beer fiasco. Best part of this year might be no Lackey. Any year where Dustin Pedroia is in your line up is going to be a good one. Laser shows abound. Go Sox!
Lester is a good kid. I blame Lackey and Beckett for corrupting him last year with their shitty attitudes. This team was so hard to root for last year. I'm worried that they didn't make enough changes on the roster. Francona wasn't the problem in my opinion.
No one likes Lackey and Beckett is...moody. Lester has always been a guy to look up to. He beat cancer and developed into one of the best left handers in the game. He's always seemed like a leader and he seems genuinely determined to prove that last year was an aberration. I expect a big year from him.
I'm still upset about Francona. May be they did need a change, but Bobby V doesn't really inspire me at all. This team has too much talent not to get back to its winning ways though.
One of several days of the sporting year that needs to be a national holiday, and will be when I'm dictator for life. Plus any day when you get to watch Justin Verlander pitch is a special one. Even more so against Bahstan. Eat 'em up, Tigers.
Any good iPhone apps to listen to the tigers game today?
but I am going to the Durham Bulls opener tonight. We have season tickets and its fun and relatively inexpensive. I really only watch baseball during the playoffs if I'm not at a Bulls game. Going to the park that much kind of kills the tv experience. Something about sitting in front of all that grass, talking to the players, eating peanuts, popcorn, cracker jacks and drinking micro-brews that tv doesn't come close to.

A Simple Observation of St. Patrick's DayMarch 17th, 2012
Snakes are a form of life that many people don't like. I suppose it's not that surprising. They're not mammals, and therefore not warm and cuddly. They have a body shape that is much different than humans and seems strange and foreign. They're slithery, scaly and cold blooded. They have a weird, somewhat creepy stare with eyes that don't blink. They seem very creepy and cunning because they blend into their environment, hide in grass or are difficult to see as they climb trees. You might not notice that they are there until you step on one. They have a menacing hiss and a fork tongue that's strange and scary looking. They have big teeth and produce a nasty bite. Many of them are venomous.
They may be the most hated and feared form of animal life for humans. This is not entirely universal, of course. Snaked do appear in a positive context in some mythology and religion, but in western religion, they tend to be seen in a very negative manner. In the Bible, the first evil entity introduced is Satan taking the form of a snake. Whether it's the Biblical connotation of snakes or simply their unsettling appearance, snakes are often used as a metaphor for the sneaky, evil and dishonorable in Western society.
Yet, if you consider snakes more objectively, there's really not much to dislike about them. A few species of snakes are venomous, but the vast majority of snakes are not venomous at all and are quite harmless. Of those which do have potentially lethal venom, most are shy and will try to escape if they encounter humans. There are a few varieties of snake which might be considered to be legitimately frightening animals, because they are both highly aggressive and venomous. But this hardly makes the entire suborder worthy of fear or dislike.
Moreover, snakes have quite a few major benefits to humans. The number one way in which snakes benefit mankind is by virtue of the fact that they primarily eat rodents. A population of field snakes can do a lot to keep the population of rats and mice down in an area. Rodents, of course, do harm human settlement quite a lot. They eat or contaminate food stocks and can be a vector for diseases like bubonic plague. In places like Northern Europe, rats commonly sought shelter in the poorly enclosed structures built by humans. They have historically been both a nuance and a major danger to public health.
It's been said that Saint Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland. To this day I've heard the Irish say how he did a great thing because Ireland is free of snakes. This is rubbish, of course. There are no snakes native to Ireland and the climate of Ireland is simply not suitable for snakes to flourish. If introduced to Ireland, a group of snakes might make it through a few seasons, but ultimately it's just too cool and wet for snakes to make it. The climate of modern Ireland is what keeps it snake-free, not a saint who drove them away.
But even if he had, why would this be something worth thanking him for? A relatively harmless animal driven from a land where people had lived largely in poverty with rodents causing far more harm than snakes. Had Ireland had snakes, it would have been more of a benefit than a problem. During the potato famine, starving rats consumed some of the few food stocks remaining for humans. They also tormented those too weak to fend them off, even gnawing on those in the throws of death. As was the case in much of Northern Europe, the rat was a source of intense misery – one snakes could have made quite a dent in.
I'm just pointing this out to show how ridiculous religious myths can be if you examine them. St. Patrick not only did not drive the snakes out of Ireland, but if he had, he'd be more a villain than a hero.
Upon doing some additional research, I have to correct the point that the climate of Ireland is not suitable for snakes. While it is fairly cold and damp, and therefore not the best place for many species of snakes, there are snakes in Scotland, Scandinavia and elsewhere which are capable of enduring the kind of climate Ireland has. It seems that they simply never had a chance to migrate to the island. It would have been far too cold and harsh during the glacial period and by the time the area had a more suitable climate for snakes, there was no way for them to migrate. The cold Irish Sea provided a barrier.
There is no fossil evidence of snakes ever existing in Ireland. They simply never arrived.

Bruce Pearl Still Punished Until August For Previous Recruiting Violations
Bruce Pearl has been hired as Auburn's new basketball coach after the Tigers finished a disappointing 14-16 season.
But for those who've followed the sport and know why Pearl was available to be hired at Auburn to begin with, there are a few questions regarding his new post with the Tigers.
Pearl, 54, was fired by Tennessee on March 21, 2011, because of two reasons: he committed recruiting violations, but more specifically, he lied to NCAA investigators about those violations and asked others being investigated in the case to do the same.
Pearl's show-cause penalty ends on Aug. 23 of this year.

The Cruellest Month
The Cruellest Month
"April is the cruellest month" wrote a pantywaist third-rate poet who was as clearly and stridently wrong as only a poet can be. There is no cruelty in April to compare, for instance, with the gray, icy expanse of early February. And what cruelty can compare to the red, unblinking eye of mid-July, which withers all things before it? It's true that April might seem to some a waste land of taunting promises, the green-shoot hints of possibilities that will never be realized, but when it comes to all things rude and cruel, the literary calendar has openings all year 'round. Your knowledge is here cruelly tested; and as always, the extra-curricular opinions in the quiz are only those of the quizmaster.
Congratulations - you have completed The Cruellest Month. You scored %%SCORE%% out of %%TOTAL%%. Your performance has been rated as %%RATING%%

Exceptional loader, exceptional dealer
Impressive cab is highlight of new S590 skid-steer loader for Omaha owner
Steve Lupardus
Steve Lupardus� company is a fixture at many construction sites and major events around the Omaha, Neb., and Council Bluffs, Iowa, area. However, what you won�t see at any of these locations is his new S590 skid-steer loader. It stays at his Bennington, Neb., headquarters where the valuable machine is kept busy every day loading and unloading.
The assignment for the M-Series loader: handling the 600 portable restrooms Lupardus owns. His firm, Port-A-Johns Inc., is a leading provider of portable sanitation needs in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. The company�s five trucks and trailers are regularly seen delivering units to construction projects, both large and small, and events such as the NCAA Division 1 Baseball Championship (College World Series).
�As you can imagine, moving that many units around is quite a chore,� Lupardus says. �They are stored outside at our 10-acre site and are constantly being moved from the yard to the shop for cleaning and then loaded on trailers. At the conclusion of the rental, they are brought back, unloaded and put away.
�Since we have been in business (2004), all that work has been handled by our Bobcat� loaders and the pallet fork attachment. Some people in this business use forklifts, but we have found that a skid-steer loader works best, especially when driving over uneven surfaces and working in tight quarters. For example, when we had our biggest order ever, we needed a machine that could maneuver around 80 units. The loader did an excellent job.�
The S590 is the fourth Bobcat machine Lupardus has owned and ranks as the best.
�Several of my friends have larger M-Series loaders, and once I looked at their machines, I was anxious to get one of the new models in the 500 frame size,� he says. �I was so intrigued by the new series that a couple of times I thought about going to a larger machine so I could get an M-Series unit. It was tough to wait.�
Once the S590 arrived at Bobcat of Omaha, Lupardus eagerly purchased one.
�I have always liked Bobcat products and the dealer has treated me very well, so why change?� he says. �And, of course, the M-Series is something special.�
M-Series cab is No. 1What does he like most? Like a lot of other M-Series owners, it�s the cab.
�The design, which puts the cab farther to the front, and all the extra glass is a real boost to operator visibility,� Lupardus says. �With more of the controls moved to the front, I don�t have to be looking around and reaching for them as much. The new cab is much quieter, as well. The cab is exceptional.�
He rates the service from Bobcat of Omaha exceptional, too.
�I have been bringing my Bobcat loaders in for regular service for 15 years (he owned a loader before starting his business) and they have always promptly taken care of me. The dealership has an impressive inventory of attachments for rent. When I need to rent an item, such as a hydraulic breaker, that�s where I go.�

03 Jun - To Aberdeen, to install the ROVs
RRS Ernest Shackleton Diary
Position @ 1200 CET: 57° 17' North. 1° 40' West, 15 nautical miles from Girdle Ness Light.
Conditions: Wind North-west by west, force 5/6; Barometer 1020.1 mb steady; Air Temperature 10.2° C; Sea Temperature 9.2°C; Overcast and clear.
The final grab-full of mud from the seabed was brought onboard RRS Ernest Shackleton on Tuesday morning, 29 May, at 0900 CET, in a position some 250m off the Oseberg Field Centre Platform. Once the samples had been taken from the grab the task of preparing to demobilise started. With the vessel heading back to Haugesund the scientists and crew started packing the containers with all the samples, removing hardware and disconnecting the multitude of electrical cables and water hoses. This was a far quicker job than when setting up some two weeks previously !
A short period of time was spent during the passage to Norway to run some tests on our Dynamic Positioning equipment and the vessel arrived at the Killingoy Base Berth (Stolt Offshore), Haugesund at 1840 CET and by 2100 CET all the equipment and personnel had been discharged ashore.
During the night the decks were cleaned and prepared for the next work period, which will start on arrival in Aberdeen.
At 0500 CET, Wednesday 30 May, the vessel sailed from Haugesund and set course for Aberdeen for the overnight crossing. After a calm passage RRS Ernest Shackleton embarked a Pilot at 0600 on Thursday 31 May, who took us to our berth at Regents Quay, Aberdeen, where we were all fast, starboard side alongside, for 0700 BST.
Awaiting us on the quayside was a prefabricated structure, weighing about 22 tonnes, which had been designed to fit over the ships two forward hatches and onto which the control cabins for the Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV's) would be placed. Once the gangway was down the mobilisation started with personnel from Stolt Offshore and their appointed contractors coming onboard to move into cabins and get all the equipment prepared for the forthcoming survey of BP-Amoco assets in the North Sea.
In order to get the prefabricated unit onboard, two large mobile cranes were required, along with skilled knowledge of a foreman who would ensure that the cranes were correctly directed. The initial move was to get the structure from the position on the quayside to one beside the ship, and then to make the lift onboard.
Following a few minor teething problems, the structure was finally lowered into place. The welding teams then made a start on securing the legs into place on the deck, leaving the structure suspended over the ships hatches. Once secure, three containers were then lifted and welded into place. Once completed, the next stage of the mobilisation is to place onboard the three ROV's, two Lynx and one Tiger system. Then the long task of connecting all the wiring between the cabins, ROV's and Survey spread (for the supply of navigational data) in the Dry Lab Aft can begin.
The newly fitted structure with the ROV cabins in place and the LARS on the deck.
The ROV's onboard are made up of several parts. Firstly there is the Launch and Recovery System (LARS), which is situated on the ship's deck and is used to deploy the Tether Management System (TMS). The TMS is lifted out of the LARS using a small crane mounted on the LARS, and then once over the water the TMS is lowered down to the required depth. Within the TMS is the ROV itself and once at the correct depth the ROV is then driven out of the TMS, which has 200 m of umbilical. Once the work to be carried out is completed, the ROV is then driven back into the TMS and this is then lifted back up onto the deck into the LARS. I hope to get some pictures of all the various component parts in due course to give a better understanding of the operation.
Also fitted during the Aberdeen call was a very large Satcom dome, measuring over 3 m and once in place it dwarfed the Funnel Top, where it had been placed. This system operates in a different manner to the Inmarsat system fitted onboard the ship for normal communications when the vessel is working down south. Inmarsat provides us with one single line that we have to access when required, and allows us the option of either phone, fax, data or telex. The system provided by the charterers gives us five permanently connected phone lines and one data line. All these lines terminate within the charterer's office in Aberdeen, and this means that anyone now wanting to phone us can do so by using an Aberdeen number and not an international number, regardless of where we are operating.
The mobilisation was done throughout the day and night with two 12 hour shifts being employed. The final task prior to sailing was to ensure that all equipment is secure for sea, as one never knows what weather is ahead of us !
With everything now ready the vessel prepared for sailing. The Pilot boarded at 1000 on Sunday morning to take us out of Aberdeen Harbour and to a trial site some thirty five miles away, where the two Lynx ROV's will be fully tested before making a start on the survey work. Once clear of the harbour a full fire and boat drill was held to ensure that all the newly joined personnel were made fully aware of what their muster points/stations are in the event of any emergency arising onboard.
Forthcoming events. Start survey operations
