Rivals.com Rates Top Returning Draftees
Kendall Rogers, Rivals.com's baseball guru, broke down his top 10 players to return to school despite being drafted.
1. Texas OF Kyle Russell
2. Texas A&M Utility Guy Blake Stouffer
3. Vanderbilt OF Dominic De la Osa
4. Rice Closer Cole St. Clair
5. Creighton switch-pitcher Pat Venditte
6. UGA Closer Josh Fields
7. ASU Starter Josh Satow
8. USC Catcher Phil Disher
9. OKState 3B Matt Hague
10. Auburn OF Mike Bianucci
This writer would probably have flipped a couple of these guys around. It's hard to argue with Russell Stouffer and De la Osa; however, a healthy Cole St. Clair could be the difference between Rice swapping a C-USA ring for a College World Series ring.
And I'm happy to see Venditte return. I've not seen him pitch yet, but he's the guy who will throw lefty to one batter and righty to the next.
Read Kendall's breakdown here.
Auburn welcomes incoming class!
Thursday was a banner day for the Auburn baseball team as the Tigers welcomed 13 freshmen and a transfer to the squad for the 2008 season. The freshman class includes three players that were drafted in this past summer's Major League Baseball Draft while 23rd-round pick junior Mike Bianucci also chose to return to The Plains for the upcoming season.
PGcrosschecker.com had this to say about Auburn's recruiting class. "Big, Deep and Talented (Brian Fletcher, Wes Gilmer, Hunter Morris, Kevin Patterson). If these hitters show up for class at Auburn, the Tigers might have the best offensive team in college baseball in a couple of years. They all hit and can hit right now without needing much projection. Morris and Patterson are left-handed hitters with middle-of-the-order potential; it's a scary thought where they might be in three years with metal bats."
Greinke and Nesselrodt headline 2007 Valley League Awards
Courtesy of Valley League
Winchester utility player Luke Greinke (Orlando, Fla./Auburn) was named Most Valuable Player and Waynesboro skipper Lawrence Nesselrodt was selected as Coach of the Year as the Valley Baseball League announced its 2007 All-League awards on Wednesday, August 8.
Greinke, a rising senior at Auburn, filled several roles for the Winchester Royals and was a true utility player with solid play in the field, at the plate, and on the mound. Offensively, he battered the baseball while playing first base, outfield, and designated hitter. He led the league with a .417 batting average to claim the league's batting title. He also led the VBL with a .642 slugging percentage and .517 on-base percentage while collecting 12 doubles, five homers, and 32 RBIs for a potent Winchester offense that led the league hitting .275 as a team. Greinke was equally as impressive on the mound, going 3-1 with a 2.66 ERA in eight appearances covering 50 2/3 innings.
Nesselrodt was named the league's top coach for the second consecutive season. The Generals finished with the league's top record in the regular season at 30-13-1 and also have the league's best mark over the last two years combined at 57-28-1. Waynesboro has held true to its top seed by advancing to the VBL championship series.
Greinke was one of 16 players selected to the 2007 Valley League All-League squad. Waynesboro and its championship opponent Luray, the defending league champion, each placed three players on the All-League squad to lead the way. Front Royal, Harrisonburg, New Market, and Winchester each placed two players on the team with Covington and Staunton adding the last two picks.
Three players were repeat selections to the squad, led by Luray short stop Tyler Kuhn (Louisville, Ky./West Virginia), who was the 2006 VBL MVP. Entering the championship series, Kuhn was hitting .314 with seven doubles, two triples, three homers, 21 RBIs, 20 walks, and seven steals.
The other repeat picks both came from Waynesboro. Kurt Davidson (North Canton, Ohio/Akron) was the selection at first base after being honored at third base in 2006. He leads the league by a wide margin with 51 RBIs and 61 hits. Davidson is also second with 90 total bases while hitting .305 with 12 doubles and five homers. A clutch hitter all season, Davidson had the game-winning RBI in the Generals' semifinal game three win over Covington and in the championship series opener in the 14th inning against Luray.
The other repeat honoree was Generals ace Jon Dages (Indianapolis, Ind./Butler), who went 7-2 with a 2.62 ERA. Entering the championship, he ranks second in the league with 68 2/3 innings pitched and seven wins.
Waynesboro's other all-league winner was second baseman Brandon Sizemore (Bryceville, Fla./Tallahassee C.C.). He sits third in the league with 53 hits and leads the Generals with 13 doubles. Sizemore is hitting .277 with a triple, three homers, 27 RBIs, and 13 steals.
Luray's other selections came from their dynamic duo of starting pitchers, Robert Gilliam (Chapel Hill, N.C./UNC-Greensboro) and Dustin Umberger (Hummelstown, Pa./Liberty). Gilliam won the honor of the league's ERA leader for the regular season and carries a 1.26 mark and a 7-1 record into the final series. He also has a save and has struck out 81 batters in 57 innings. Umberger ranks second in the league with a 1.45 ERA and led the league with eight wins on a perfect 8-0 record. He ranks third with 76 strikeouts in 56 innings.
Greinke, the all-league pick at the utility spot, was joined by teammate Jose Cueto (Miami, Fla./Virginia Tech). The outfielder ranks fourth in the league with a .328 batting average and fifth with a .537 on-base percentage. He led the Royals with six home runs while adding eight doubles, 24 RBIs, 20 walks, and 11 steals.
Front Royal's two picks include third baseman Bennett Davis (Katy, Texas/Manatee C.C.) and closer Joel Brookens (Fayetteville, Pa./North Carolina St.). Davis sits second in the league with 14 doubles. He hit .280 with three home runs, 36 runs scored, 30 RBIs, and 14 steals. Brookens leads the league with 13 saves and ranks second with 19 games finished. He had a 1.35 ERA in 20 innings and held opponents to a .129 batting average.
Harrisonburg placed two players on the all-league squad after finishing second in the regular season. Outfielder Robert Taylor (Ingram, Texas/Arkansas-Little Rock) and relief pitcher Garrett Parker (Duncanville, Texas/Howard-Payne) represented the Turks. Taylor ranks third in the league with a .352 batting average. He scored 22 runs, had six doubles, four homers, 14 walks, and a .420 on-base percentage. Parker finished 2-1 with a 0.84 ERA and eight saves in 21 1/3 innings. He did not allow a run until the postseason and ranks fifth in the league in saves.
New Market had two all-league selections with catcher Nick Stanley (Largo, Fla./South Florida C.C.) and designated hitter Nolan Brannon (St. Petersburg, Fla./Tampa). Stanley ranks fifth in the VBL with a .325 batting average and leads the league with 15 doubles. He had 50 hits, 23 runs, two homers, 20 RBIs, and 16 walks. Brannon hit .323 with 41 hits, six doubles, 17 RBIs, and 15 walks.
The final two selections were Covington outfielder Jason Kipnis (Northbrook, Ill./Kentucky) and Staunton closer Bobby Hernandez (Key West, Fla./Barry). Kipnis shares the league lead with nine home runs and won the home run derby during the 2007 all-star game in Front Royal. He ranks second with a .591 slugging percentage, second with a .498 on-base percentage, first with 46 runs scored, second with 41 RBIs, first with 91 total bases, first with 49 walks, and second with 24 stolen bases. Hernandez was second in the league with 12 saves and second with 21 appearances. He had a 1.78 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 25 1/3 innings while holding opponents to a .143 batting average.
The awards were voted upon by the league's 11 head coaches, broadcasters, and select media members who covered the league.

After winning a franchise-record 96 games a year ago, all eyes are watching to see if Milwaukee Brewers can repeat as National League Central champions. But after losing Prince Fielder, who anchored the lineup for the last six-plus seasons, is that a realistic goal? Second baseman Rickie Weeks sure thinks so. "You know, a lot of times people look at Prince not being here, and they look at guys in certain holes, filling positions, guys who haven't been here before," Weeks said. "You want that common ground. Guys in the clubhouse, I think we are trying to adapt to certain situations that we're trying to get to. I think we're going to be pretty good this year." Last season was a breakout campaign for Weeks, who was the National League's starting second baseman in the All-Star game. Weeks hit .269 with 20 home runs and 49 RBI, but missed significant time due to a severely sprained ankle. When he returned late in the season, he was far from playing at 100 percent. Like many pundits,...

Going back to school is bittersweet for even the most ardent young student, but some kids are happily returning to a school where the day is 100 minutes longer than usual.
In fact, the attendance rate has climbed at Casimir Pulaski Elementary School in Meriden, where students Wednesday are starting their third year of longer school days.
"The kids are incredibly excited to come to school, more than I've ever seen in my life," said Dave Wheeler, who has taught at Pulaski since it opened in 1972 and says the longer days have also been a "booster" for him late in his career. He wasn't always so certain.
When the idea of lengthening the school day was introduced two years ago, Wheeler, a fifth-grade teacher, wondered whether this was a fad that would soon disappear and if kids would have the stamina for a school day that was eight hours long, rather than six hours and 20 minutes.
But attendance rates at Pulaski have gone up from the low 90 percentiles to the high 90s, and student achievement has gone up on math and reading tests.
The approach is gaining traction statewide. Fifteen of the state's struggling districts, known as Alliance Districts, qualified for state funds this fall to add more hours to the school year — by lengthening the school day, holding school on Saturdays or adding weeks of school in the summer.
Kelly Donnelly, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Education, said that "additional learning time is a promising strategy to help ensure that all our students remain on track to graduate college- and career-ready."
She said state education officials were encouraged that so many teachers and school leaders in the Alliance Districts "have found the way to provide our youngsters with this precious extra learning time."
Meriden Superintendent Mark Benigni said he was thrilled with the improved test results, but, he added: "We didn't launch this solely to improve standardized test scores. We did it because we thought students would enjoy and benefit from it."
This year, Pulaski and two other Meriden schools, John Barry and Roger Sherman, will have extended days at an extra cost that ranges from $320,000 to $430,000 per school, Benigni said. He figures that it costs about an additional $1,000 per student — funds from the state and federal government and an innovation grant from the American Federation of Teachers.
Benigni said he thinks the extended time has had good results because "it's not more of the same" pen and pencil work. At Pulaski, kids participate in many computer-based activities as well as such programs as robotics, woodworking, scrapbooking, Zumba, guitar lessons and karate. These activities help develop language and social skills as well as background knowledge about the world and community.
"The school day now features some of the hands-on enrichment that we know students love," Benigni said, "things that quite honestly had been stripped from schools across the nation" to make time for improving test scores. "We are putting back some of the fun learning activities we know engage students and make school fun."
Emily Anastasio, a fourth-grader at Pulaski who is also Wheeler's granddaughter, said she likes the extended day because "you get to do a lot of fun things," from exercising to "technology labs" to scrapbooking and making a pencil holder.
"This year, I'm looking forward to doing foreign languages and karate," she said. "School is fun as it is, but adding this makes it more fun."
Teachers at Pulaski work either an early shift or a later shift, depending on which grade they teach, so that they still work a usual number of hours. Or they can opt to work a longer day and teach an enrichment class as well.
In East Hartford, school officials say the extended day program at O'Connell Elementary School, which is entering its second year, has been a success. Principal Greg Fox said student achievement improved last year, although he said it is hard to directly link that to the 75 extra minutes a day.
"We have definitely seen improvements…" Fox said, "but I can't tell you it's only based on [the] extended day. We have great instruction and extended day."
But, he said, the extended day does allow for "way more support … intervention and enrichment."
In an analysis of research on increased learning time for the U.S. Department of Education, the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance found some studies showed it had a positive effect on student outcomes, while in other cases no positive effect emerged.
The review found, for instance, that when instruction was provided by certified teachers, there was a small but significant positive effect on literacy and math achievement. The findings also showed that increased learning time can benefit students at risk of academic failure.

Council's revision of highway plan clouds recall effort
The plan, devised by the city staff and consultants, is aimed at revitalizing a three-mile stretch of roadway that includes used-car dealers and a hodgepodge of shops.
The plan envisions tourist accommodations in the north and a retail village in the south. In between, there would mixed commercial and residential projects with varied building heights and greater density of development around the Coaster and Sprinter train stations.
The plan also provides alternatives for the design of the roadway itself – one keeping it somewhat as it is and the other involving a half-dozen roundabouts to slow traffic.
Nine city commissions or committees will review the plan before it goes to the council on April 15.
The Transportation Commission spent two hours going over it Tuesday night, generally saying it liked the plan, though some commissioners were concerned about the efficiency of roundabouts.
Copies of the plan are available at Oceanside public libraries and on the Oceanside Web site, www.ci.oceanside.ca.us.

U.S. Making Cybertheft Focus of Talks With China, Donilon Says
April 24 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. has taken a hard line and insisted cybersecurity be central to any economic dialogue with China, given the scale of attacks waged against U.S. companies, White House National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon said.
"The only way to deal with this was to bring it to the center of the relationship and to present the proposition that any economic discussion with the United States -- given the threat to the United States, the degree of theft that is going on -- was going to involve cyber," Donilon said today at Columbia University in New York.
Ties between the U.S. and China have been strained by a report from a U.S. security company, Mandiant Corp., saying China's army may be behind cyberattacks on companies worldwide. Chinese officials have rejected the findings.
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, met this week with Fang Fenghui, chairman of the People's Liberation Army General Staff, who compared the effects of an Internet attack to those of a nuclear bomb. Still, no specifics measures on a code of conduct for cybersecurity were discussed.
Donilon said the U.S. asked the Chinese to recognize the scope of the problem, to begin an investigation of computer crimes and to engage in a discussion on a set of rules.
"We are moving on all of them, they have agreed to open up a dialogue," he said. "This is not general cybercrime or hacking, this is a direct theft of United States private and government assets for use for advantage. That is the discussion we are having with the Chinese."
In a speech last month, Donilon said that the widespread theft of intellectual property and trade secrets through "cyberintrusions emanating from China at a very large scale" has become a point of contention with the Chinese government.
Donilon has said the U.S. would do everything necessary to shield the nation's computer networks from attacks on vital infrastructure, such as power grids and transportation links.
Mandiant, based in Alexandria, Virginia, said in a February report that the Chinese army may be behind a hacking group that has hit at least 141 companies worldwide since 2006.

Malaysia takes in stranded boat people
THE 40 boat people picked up by a Vietnamese vessel that was denied entry into Singapore have been taken in by Malaysia.
The captain of the Nosco Victory told The Straits Times that Malaysia's maritime agency had sent a boat to the vessel on Tuesday to pick up the 40 people.
They were rescued in the Bay of Bengal by the crew of the Nosco Victory two weeks ago, while the ship was sailing from Bangladesh to Singapore. They are believed to be Rohingya refugees escaping violence in Myanmar's western Rakhine state. The stateless Muslim minority are considered illegal immigrants in both Myanmar and neighbouring Bangladesh.
Captain Nguyen Dinh Hoa and his crew had plucked them out of the sea and have been providing food and medical aid to them.

Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury Opening Questions • How is knowledge power? • How do we benefit from learning different points of view? • Why would those in control of a society want to suppress knowledge? Why or how are ideas dangerous? • How do books represent us? • Is there an idea you would be willing to die for? The Setting • Imagine a world where everything is sped up, where bill boards are five times bigger than ours because the speed limit is so high, where everything you see from a car is a blur, where pedestrians don"t exist. • This is a future populated by non-readers and non-thinkers, people with no sense of their history, where a totalitarian government has banned the written word. • Bradbury"s work draws parallels between entertainment and addiction, between individual avoidance of thinking and governmental means of thought prevention. Bradbury"s Life • Ray Bradbury was born to a Swedish immigrant mother and a telephone lineman father. • His paternal grandfather and great-grandfather were newspaper publishers. • He encountered a wide variety of entertainment media: books, comics, Ray Bradbury 1976 movies, theatre, museums, magic shows and circuses. Bradbury"s Life • As an adolescent he was physically and emotionally insecure • At 13, his family moved from Waukegan, Illinois to Los Angeles where he was harassed by the class bully. • His work wasn"t published in high school because his style was unconventional In His Own Words "Ihope…to be remembered as a lover of the whole experience of life. And I think it"s all in my writing, but you"ve got to read it all to get that. And if you could write that on my tombstone, you know: "here"s a teller of joy, who wanted to celebrate things…even the dark things because they have meaning." Then I would be content with that. But no specific things beyond that—just the joy of being alive for another day, and having been able to celebrate a particular sense of that day you didn"t celebrate the day before." The Conflict •Set in the 24th century •Books are dangerous and illegal •Most people accept this reality and are happy plugged into their technology where they do not have to think •Guy Montag, a book burning fireman, is the protagonist "Most often, the whole house must be destroyed. Sometimes the people in the house choose to die with their books" (Bradbury 72). Thematic Questions •How dangerous is censorship? •What kind of damage can an oppressive government cause? •What long term affects do loss of creativity and freedom of thought have? The bitter irony • Fahrenheit 451 has been banned in high schools across the country • You decide why this novel has been banned and if you feel that this is justifiable Not all books that are challenged in this way are banned, but some are. It depends on the community, and their policies on censorship. Social Influences: Anti- intellectualism of Nazi Germany Social Influences • Cold War Political Atmosphere • By 1946 the United Nations viewed the Soviet Union as hostile • Most Americans condoned communism • By 1950, the US became concerned with threat of Communism • Korean War • Vietnam • McCarthyism • Joseph McCarthy, a republican senator of WI attracted headlines with his charges of communist infiltration in American organizations • He charged 200 people in the State Department • Vietnam War • In 1956 South Vietnam refuses referendum to unify with North Vietnam and guerilla war begins Text to Self: Television Habits • Average time per week the American child ages 2-17 spends watching television: 19 hours 40 minutes • Percentage of children ages 8-16 who have a TV in their bedroom: 56% • Number of TV commercials view by American children a year: 20,000 • Age by which children can develop brand loyalty: 2 years old Nielson Media Research 2000, McNeal, 1992. Cited by National Institute on Media and the Family The Time Cost of TV • According to the A.C. Nielsen Co. the average American watches 3 hours and 46 minutes of TV each day (that's more than 52 days of nonstop TV-watching per year). • By the age of 65 the average American will have spent nearly nine years glued to the tube. • Parents spend 38.5 minutes per week in meaningful conversation with their children is 38.5. HOW MUCH VIOLENCE IS THERE REALLY ON T.V.? • The average American child sees 200,000 violent acts on television by the time he or she reaches the age of 18. • Eighty percent of Hollywood executives believe there is a link between TV violence and real-life violence. TELEVISION: IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SHOWS • An average child sees 30,000 TV commercials in a year. • By the time s/he reaches the age of 65, the average American will have seen two million TV commercials Personalizing the Issue • How important is entertainment in your life? • How much of your time do you spend consuming entertainment? • Is entertainment addictive? Can it serve the same purposes as drugs or alcohol? • Beatty suggests that mindless entertainment can weaken or destroy the mind. Is there evidence of this? • How does entertainment affect our ability to think, learn and comprehend? • What adverse behaviors result from stress, pressure and speed in our lives? How do addictions relate? Does this apply to us? • Where do you envision our society going from here? What will we look like in another 50-100 years? • Will we be better or worse off than we are now? Thought-provoking quotation • "The remarkable thing about TV is that it permits several million people to laugh at the same joke and still feel lonely" -T.S. Eliot Your Challenge Fahrenheit 451 is one author"s idea of how these changes (and choices we make) can lead to a very different kind of world. As we begin to read, look for ways that Montag"s society is different from our own. What aspects of his world do you find strange or peculiar? Ray Bradbury • "Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you"d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It"s more fantastic than any dream made up or paid for in factories."

LG GD900 see-thru phone debuts
LG has launched a new handset at Mobile World Congress that features a see-thru keypad.
The new GD900 will, according to LG "prove that stylish design can be achieved not only with the use of vivid colours, but also by revealing the handset in its purest form".
When opened, its sliding, translucent keypad illuminates a cool glow that reflects the phone's sleek and polished silver body.
The LG-GD900 is scheduled for release during the second quarter of 2009 and the phone's advanced features will be unveiled at that time say LG.
No specifications are currently available.

Hyundai Other
Can any one please tell me were I can adjust handbrake cable as needs tightening.
April 17, 2007.
April 17, 2007.
What kind of car do you have? If it's a Hyundai then there are no adjustment points for the cable. These cars have a self adjuster in the rear brakes. Only thing I can suggest is to remove the rear drums and manually adjust the shoes as needed. Adjust the shoes out until you feel a drag on the drum. Replace the drum and try the hand brake before replacing the tire, you save time this way in case more adjusting is needed.

38 year old woman | Cincinnati, OH, USA | Seeking men 30-45 within 120 miles
Open heart & open mind.
Always ready for the unexpected-that would be me. Having a bit of a bohemian background, I was born in a small town, raised near a big city, came of age in Cincinnati - and I hold respect for what each place has taught me. An open mind, a compassionate heart, ability to laugh at myself, not to mention family from Chicago: has enabled me to adjust to almost any situation without losing my sense of self. As a photographer, I have the unique opportunity to work with people, have flexibility in my schedule, and most importantly-wake up knowing that I am pursuing my passion. I am driven and hard working. If I am faced with a problem, I am usually trying to figure out multiple solutions, and eventually which one would be the the best. I excel at multi-tasking and functional efficiency in the work place. Now, don't get me wrong....I'm not all business! I love having a good time. You won't have to ask me twice to check out a concert, sporting event, art exhibit, or movie. A night on the town sounds like a great date. I am sucker for a dance floor, so I hope you wore your dancing shoes. Dinner party at your friend's house...sounds like fun, what wine should I bring? Family gathering?....I make the best organic pasta salad. No need to worry about me making friends, I am at ease chatting with your mom, while you catch up with your brother. But I will look for your flirtatious wink from across the room, or to come save me when your dad wants to show me his trophy collection. Family is important to me and I look forward to starting one. "City girl?" you say? Not so fast, mister. I can be ready for camping faster than you can say "Road Trip". Hiking in Europe, fishing in Jamaica, kayaking in Colorado, dog sledding in Alaska, ...you name it, and my passport is handy. Travel is an essential part of my life, domestic and abroad. I am also one who appreciates the simple, beautiful things in life. I take the time to admire the wonders of nature. However, sitting down in a comfy couch after a long day, turning on a movie, a glass of wine, with you sounds like the next best thing to heaven. Being comfortable, capable, and independent are qualities I take pride in. These things have given me countless opportunities and experiences. I want to share this with someone I can grow with. Short-term, I want to meet someone that I can be myself, act silly, and build a friendship with. Long-term, I am looking for a partner in life. It's important to me that you are the type of person that I can count on. I am not the jealous type, and I expect you not to be. Open communication is a MUST! Hope to receive an email from you soon!

Dream as if you will live forever, Live as if you will die tomorrow.--James Dean. Live life with no skeletons in the closet.
New to the Austin area and looking for someone hang with. I have a tendency to always get the big brother speech which is fine and all but gets old after a while. Tired of being alone, tired of being strung along and to be frank just looking for someone to share life with. Finally at a point in my career that feel I can settle in one place and start a family and be able to support one. I like to do just about anything as long as the company is right. Driving and road trips are probably the most enjoyable thing for me. Never know what you will find, do or where you will end up. Yes i am looking for a friend and a partner in the same package just like everyone else on here, but i am here to find a partner. Someone that compliments me as a person. I am extremely loyal and caring. I speak what is on my mind when it is on my mind. To be honest i think the loyal part and speaking what is on my mind is why i am single most cant handle the honesty. What I am looking for-- Someone loyal, light hearted, someone who can take the edge off when i get home from work. Wow this is harder than i thought. I really do not have a specific person in mind. Its just something that clicks when your with them.

Hydro Flask 40 oz Wide Mouth Bottle
Where to Buy
As advertised! Best thermos I've used yet. I love…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $30
As advertised! Best thermos I've used yet.
- Retains heat/cold really long time
- Doesn't sweat
- Thermos Very Durable
- Caps are plastic - can break
I love dual purpose items as we only family camp/ hike some. The rest of the time we're at soccer, or at the beach, or fishing, or ... !
This thermos is a big favorite of mine and it really does work well. I was just commenting on a review about the Starbucks Via Ready Brew coffee and it got me thinking about the Hydro Flask. Whether I'm camping or out at the soccer fields or in a boat somewhere, this thermos keeps my coffee piping hot throughout the day.
And, for the beach, these wide mouth thermos' do really well with a frozen drink of your choice. Margarita, bushwacker, you name it — works great and keeps the beverage frozen. And, they don't sweat.
If there is a weak point, it would be the caps. But, to be honest, I haven't had any issues. They tighten real well with no leaking but if you drop it, it could split. The thermos themselves have a lifetime warranty, though.

|Nepalis in the United Kingdom
Nepalis in Ireland are migrants from Nepal to the Republic of Ireland, mostly temporary expatriates and permanent residents, as well as their locally born descendants.
Migration history[edit]
The first Nepalese settler who settled down in Ireland arrived in 1984. Ireland has never been a commonly known destination for Nepalese in the past. However, this is changing in recent years and more and more Nepalese are coming to Ireland for education, businesses and employment. Although, the number of Nepalese living in this country is still very small compared to other countries, this number is growing slowly but steadily in recent times.[2] Today, there are only about 400 to 500 Nepalis in Ireland, of which about 150 live in Dublin itself.
Many early Nepalese settlers who have been living in Ireland for many years, put their minds and efforts to establish the "Nepal Ireland Society" in 2000 in the presence of the Nepalese ambassador to the UK.

NCL is committed to working in partnership with local community and other many organisations focussing for the welfare and wellbeing of the members particular and community as a whole. And continue effective network & represent at a vast levels and empower ethnic group like ours in order ti lobby with the concerned authorities order to influence positive changes in policy and matter that affect our day to day lives.

Gentle Birth Choices A Comprehensive Book and Video Guide Making Informed Decisions About Birthing Centers, Birth Attendants, Water Birth, Home Birth, Hospital Birth (Paperback)
|Author: Barbara/ Arms Harper
|Photographer: Suzanne Arms
Learn more about Gentle Birth Choices:
|In Gentle Birth Choices, Barbara Harper, a mid-wife, nurse, and mother, outlines the elements of gentle birthing and provides a new model of maternity care that reduces the need for high-tech crisis intervention, and focuses instead on preparation and good health for mother and child. More than 50 black-and-white photographs by Suzanne Arms capture the joy and intensity of birth.
From the Publisher:
The Gentle Birth Choices Video blends interviews with midwives and physicians with six actual births, showing the options of water birth, squatting, home birth, and vaginal birth after prior cesarean.
Barbara Harper outlines the elements of gentle birthing: support from loved ones, a reassuring and quiet environment with soft lighting, and minimal medical intervention. She shows you how to plan a meaningful, family-centered birth experience and discusses the many alternatives available, providing a new model of maternity care that reduces the need for high-tech crisis intervention and focuses instead on preparation and good health for mother and child.Â
With Cesarean section rates in some hospitals at more than 50%, women are acknowledging that childbirth reform is an essential aspect of reclaiming responsibility for our bodies and our lives.Â
Includes information on:
Creating a calm, empowering birth for the laboring woman is the primary focus of this refreshing guide. Based in the notion that the less medical intervention there is, the better a birth will go, maternity specialist Barbara Harper shares a variety of options for healthful, happy births, including birth centers, water birth, home birth, and more. With video.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 6/18/13
Just as they were when these teams last met about a month ago, the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox are battling to stay out of the AL Central basement. These slumping division foes begin a three-game set Tuesday night with the Twins badly struggling at the plate and the White Sox looking to end their road woes. Chicago was in last place and 1 12 games behind Minnesota after winning two of three at Target Field from May 13-15. That gap remains the same, as do their positions in the bottom half of the Central. The Twins (30-36) have lost seven of 11 while averaging 2.6 runs and batting .177 with runners in scoring position. They were held to three hits for the third time in four games Sunday in a 5-2 loss to Detroit. "It seems like a week goes by and we're hitting the cover off the ball, then we hit a little slump as a team," said Brian Dozier, who homered Sunday. "I think it's all about big hits, two-out hits. We've been leaving a lot of guys on base." Justin Morneau has a...

Bec is working on the history of Museum Victoria's Science Collections and all the people who have been part of them since the museum's origin in 1854.
Last night, twenty extraordinary women were inducted into the Victorian Women's Honour Roll at a ceremony in Parliament House. I was lucky enough to be invited to witness Curator Emeritus Hope Black join this group.

Each year, the Honour Roll recognises and celebrates inspirational women across Victoria who, through their vision, leadership, commitment and hard work, have made an exceptional contribution to their communities or areas of expertise.
Minister for Women's Affairs the Hon Mary Wooldridge opened the events with this quote: "If your dreams do not scare you they are not big enough." These women, without exception, had big dreams.
Hope says she wasn't sure what she wanted to do "but it had to be zoology". In 1937, then 18-year-old Hope Macpherson successfully applied for a job at the museum. Initially, her role was to make biology cases and dioramas. Driven to progress further, she studied science part-time at Melbourne University. Shortly after she graduated in 1946, was promoted to Curator of Shells and, simultaneously, the museum's first female curator.

Her fieldwork as curator took her to remote parts of the Australian coast and she was part of the first group of female scientists permitted to research in the sub-Antarctic.
Hope also led ground-breaking surveys of Port Phillip Bay from 1957-1963. That data is still used today by environmental scientists, managers and planners, providing a benchmark against which to monitor change.

In addition to her scientific pursuits, Hope also pioneered specialist education programs by establishing a biology course for blind children held at the museum, using collection material.
Hope was required to resign from the Public Service when she married in 1965, as married women were excluded from employment in the service at that time. The forced change did not quell her drive. She retrained as a science teacher, passing on her passion for science to girls for 13 years.

I have been privileged to work with Hope over the past couple of years, recording her history and acquiring personal working papers and images for the museum collection. After hearing her story and that of the other inductees I can only hope to be as fearless.
Victorian Women's Honour Roll
Hope Black nee Macpherson, Curator of Molluscs (1919 - )
As a history curator, the dizziest height I usually get to is the top shelf of the archive. So flying over Wilsons Promontory with the Prom Bioscan team last week was a true adventure.
My job, History of Science Collections Curator, often involves following the archive trail of past scientists to establish the what, where and how behind the specimens in our collections. The history of Wilsons Prom is interwoven with the history of Museum Victoria. Three former directors were instrumental in the establishment and ongoing development of the park. In the 1960s Charlie Brazenor led a museum team survey whose report initiated many of the park's innovations such as a permanent ranger/manager, proper signage and even a small museum at Tidal River.

The Prom Bioscan represents the next phase of the museum's work at the Prom so I just had to be there to document it. We hold some magnificent historic images of the Prom and it was also a great opportunity to re-shoot some of those locations to get a sense of how the park has changed over time.
Jim Whelan, former chief ranger at the Prom and local keeper of Prom history, has been gleefully working with me on a short history of field surveys at the Prom and was the ultimate guide on my travels.

We flew by helicopter from Tidal River over most of the park, skirting the coastline looking for the rock formations in the historic images I had brought with me. Some locations were simply too difficult to land so we had to hover over the trees and take the photos through the little window of the chopper. Other locations, like Mt Oberon car park, which can't be accessed by road since the floods, were the perfect spot to land the chopper and walk or bushbash to the spots we needed. Jim has every tree; every rock imprinted in his memory and the journey through his memories was as interesting as the chopper ride.
Our longest stop was at Sealers Cove. Having been there many times on foot it was spectacular to see the cove open up before us as we rounded the coastline.

I wanted to find remnants of the old wooden tramway used by the mill in 1800s but the terrain was impenetrable. I did, however, find a couple of little wooden posts sticking out of the sand where the massive jetty that serviced the mill once stood. The jetty was built by King and McCulloch in 1903 and extended 800 metres into the cove.

So today, back at my desk staring out at the Royal Exhibition Building I can still hear the sea and the echo of the radio calls from the chopper headphones buzzing in my ears and if I squint a bit, the cream REB against the blue sky looks a little like the sands of Sealers Cove. The recreated photos are looking good and some truly fascinating moments in the Prom's history are coming together as a series of videos for Collections Online.

Affordable VF Details 1793 AMERI. Chain Cent1793 Chain 1C AMERI.--Corroded, Damaged--ANACS. VF Details, Net VG8. S-1, R.4. The upper obverse has a relatively deep horizontal cut, and a much less significant scratch is found behind the lower hair tresses. The obverse rim has a minor bruise at 8 o'clock, and the medium brown surfaces are lightly granular, as is so often the case with these early Large Cents. All legends are crisp, and many fine hair details are present. An affordable example of this coveted rarity, the first Large Cent variety issued and the only die marriage with the AMERI. reverse. Apparently, the engraver laid out AMERICA last, and realized that the legend would appear unbalanced unless the nation's name was abbreviated.

Congratulations to yet another first time winner in last week's 5-Spot Challenge. Maizenblu62 captures the $20 gift card to The M Den. His differential of 178 beat tooty_pops by 17. Maizenblu62 was just eight away from Iowa's total yards. While he wasn't the closest on any of the other questions, he didn't have a single bad one either. The same can be said for tooty_pops. Hazel Parker was just one point away from the combined points and only 15 off of Devin Gardner's passing yards. JustJeepGear.com led that category at 14 away. GrizzlyJFB was the closest to correctly predicting Iowa's second half rushing yards, just three off, while nobody expected Will Hagerup to have such a light day punting. KashKaav was the closest at 38 yards away. The overall leader, crp12qb, finished third this week and widened his lead over HTTV133, who finished fifth. Kfarmer16 leap-frogged Jim Mackiewicz, while this week's winner, Maizenblu62 moved up to fifth overall. Nobody correctly predicted the final ...

U.S. Worries NSA Leaker's Files Could Be Hacked
By Tom Gjelten
Originally published on Fri July 19, 2013 6:00 am
The Russian lawyer for NSA leaker Edward Snowden predicts his client will soon get temporary asylum in Russia. Snowden and his allies say his laptops contain files that could be highly damaging to NSA operations. Security experts say it would be challenging but by no means impossible for Russian (or Chinese) cyber technicians to gain access to the files Snowden has with him, in spite of his promises to safeguard them.

KTM 950 Adv: aggressive rear choices
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Mar 2007
Location: Sacramento
Oddometer: 210
I'm going to give yet another shout out for the Teraflex. I'm running one right now on my dirt wheels. I've found that they are much more predictable in the corners when riding agressively in the dirt when compared to the 908. I bought a pair of Teraflex tires in the 150/90 size a few years ago and am currently on the second one.
I also found that this tire is scary on the pavement, especially when they're brand new. However, I'm applying lessons learned from the first one I wore out. The mistake I made was taking a trip to Vegas from Sacramento in the middle of the hot season. Spending hours and hours riding in a straight line on the pavement is almost unavoidable and the tire got a bad "flat top" right in the middle of the tread. That tire was always going to be scary in the corners.
With my current Teraflex, I've been riding it very agressively in the corners when on the pavement in an effort to even out the wear and this is working quite well. Either I've gotten accustomed to the tire or it's actually gripping better in the corners. I suspect that it's some of both. I'm certainly not dragging footpegs on the black top but I am cornering just as hard as I would be with a 908 and am perfectly comfortable with it.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 29 March 2012 08:00AM
The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, which oversees EBLEX, has invited its roster agencies to tender for the business via a notice on the Official Journal of the European Union.
TBWA\London currently handles the EBLEX business, having won the account in a pitch against DDB UK in February 2009.
AHDB roster agencies including Archibald Ingall Stretton, Beattie McGuinness Bungay, DDB UK, JWT London and The Red Brick Road will be eligible to compete for the account. The body created the roster in 2010, with TBWA\London retaining its position.
TBWA\London's work for EBLEX has focused on print and digital activity. The agency's first print campaign highlighted quality standards and it has also created an iPhone app that encouraged users to cook a virtual steak.
EBLEX has also invested in TV sponsorship through a deal last year with UKTV to support the food programme Matt And Allegra's Big Farm.
The body is still well-known for its "Beefy" and "Lamby" characters based on the cricketers Sir Ian Botham and Allan Lamb, introduced in 2005 in a TV campaign by Leo Burnett.
Last year, Beattie McGuinness Bungay was appointed from the AHDB roster to handle the separate British Pig Executive brief.

Food Budgeting In Europe?
I am planning a trip from Rome up to Berlin and over to Edinburgh and down again to London. I'm having trouble planning a food budget because of all the prices I have heard. I have heard a decent budget would be $40/ day with no fancy meals. But It would be great to hear from people who have been over there and know prices. I am traveling with my brother and he's a big eater. So what would be a decent amount so we can get good meals and not splurge, but spoil ourselves once or twice. Thanks to all who answer and help me out!

This petite little lady can't understand why her world has caved in. Her name is Jessie and is only 10 months old. She was abandoned by her owner and could use some petting. A Jack Russell terrier-mix, she's had some of her shots and has been wormed and would really like to find somebody to love her forever. She can be rescued and adopted at Newton County Animal Shelter, located at 210 Lower River Road in Covington. The shelter usually has between 20 to 30 dogs and an equal number of cats eligible for adoption. The adoption fee for a dog or puppy is $25 and $10 for a cat or kitten. Spaying/neutering is mandatory for all animals. The shelter is open from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The phone number is 770-786-9514. Anyone who has lost a pet is urged to go to the center and bring a photo of the missing animal. - Staff photo by Sue Ann Kuhn-Smith
