The original technologies are generally less powerful than impressed current cathodic protection but they are less complex to apply. The technology requires no long term expert maintenance and is less susceptible to vandalism when compared to impressed current systems. In general, the output of a sacrificial anode technology cannot be adjusted to manage corrosion risk. However, some systems have been used in both an impressed current and a sacrificial role and future corrosion risk may be managed by including the facility to turn the system into an impressed current system, or by applying a brief impressed current treatment to arrest the corrosion process.

Downtimes could be a major contributor to risk. Any serious accident will cause a significant loss in customer and investor confidence. This has challenged the industry to become more efficient, integrated and attractive, with benefits for its workforce and society as a whole. The reality is that water companies are not yet prepared to invest heavily in trials, before another company announces its success in implementing a new monitoring strategy. This has slowed down the development of the water industry. This research has taken the theoretical idea that the use of advanced online monitoring technique in the water industry would be beneficial and a step further; demonstrating by means of a state-of-the-art assessment, usability trials, case studies and demonstration that the barriers to mainstream adoption can be overcome. The findings of this work have been presented in four peer-reviewed papers. The research undertaken has shown that Turbidity levels in rivers can be measured from the rivers' mean flow rate, using either Doppler Ultrasound device for real-time readings or based on past performance history. In both cases, the Turbidity level can also help estimate both the Colour and Conductivity levels of the subject river. Recalibration of the equations used is a prerequisite as each individual river has its own unique "finger print". Description: This thesis is closed access until October 2015.

The safety of hazardous processing plants is of paramount importance as an accident could cause major damage to property and/or injury to people. HAZID is a computer system that helps designers and operators of process plants to identify potential design and operation problems given a process plant design. However, there are issues that need to be addressed before such a system will be accepted for common use. This research project considers how to improve the usability and acceptability of such a system by developing tools to test the developed models in order for the users to gain confidence in HAZID s output as HAZID is a model based system with a library of equipment models. The research also investigates the development of computer-aided safety applications and how they can be integrated together to extend HAZID to support different kinds of safety-related reasoning tasks. Three computer-aided tools and one reasoning system have been developed from this project. The first is called Model Test Bed, which is to test the correctness of models that have been built. The second is called Safe Isolation Tool, which is to define isolation boundary and identify potential hazards for isolation work. The third is an Instrument Checker, which lists all the instruments and their connections with process items in a process plant for the engineers to consider whether the instrument and its loop provide safeguards to the equipment during the hazard identification procedure. The fourth is a cause-effect analysis system that can automatically generate cause-effect tables for the control engineers to consider the safety design of the control of a plant as the table shows process events and corresponding process responses designed by the control engineer. The thesis provides a full description of the above four tools and how they are integrated into the HAZID system to perform control safety analysis and hazard identification in process plants.

Geographic Range
Buteo lagopus has a nearly holarctic distribution. Its geographic range includes most of the United States and all of Canada. Rough-legged hawks spend their winter months in all of the United States except for North Carolina and along the southeast coast of the United States, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. They are found as far north as Newfoundland and as far west as central Europe and parts of Russia. (Pearson, et al., 1936)
- Biogeographic Regions
- nearctic
- palearctic
- Other Geographic Terms
- holarctic
Rough-legged hawks inhabit open country and agricultural lands. They are more common in open, early successional areas in which they can soar and seek prey in grasslands and shrublands. Once migration is complete they settle in a suitable nesting spot with enough food nearby to sustain them. Their nests are usually located in trees or on a rocky cliff in which they can overlook a field to catch prey for themselves and their young. (Pearson, et al., 1936; Bechard and Swem, 2002; Terres, 1980)

Physical Description
Adult rough-legged hawks average 1026 g and have a wingspan of 134 cm. Total length averages 53 cm. Females are typically the larger gender. Rough-legged hawks have eight different morphs that vary between sex, age, and location. Both sexes exhibit both light and dark morphs; and coloration varies between juveniles and adults.
All adult morphs have a black band that goes along the edges of the underside of their lesser coverts. Adults also all have dark colored eyes. Juveniles have light colored eyes and a dark band along the underside of their wings.
Light morphs of adult females have brown backs and a pattern of increased markings from breast to belly. They have one dark tail band and heavily marked leg feathers. Light-morph adult males have grayish backs. Their breasts are more heavily marked than the belly and multiple bands exist on the tail. A light-morph adult male has heavily-marked leg feathers.
Dark-morph adult males are almost completely black but can be brownish with several white bands on their dark tail. Dark-morph adult females are dark brown with a single black band underneath their tail. Dark-morph juveniles are similar to adult females but exhibit rusty bands underneath their wings and tails. Some individuals have a pale-brown head. (Wheeler and Clark, 1996)

Buteo lagopus will usually migrate solo (very uncommon to fly in groups) and find a mate once they have reached their destination. Males will soar and circle until a female joins them. Rough-legged hawks perform courtship displays in the late winter, once it has began to get warmer and flying conditions improve. After a male is joined by a female, both sexes soar together with their tails and wings fully spread. Males then perform a "Sky-Dance" dislay, in which they soar high, suddenly dive, climb again, free fall, and finally, climb back up to a normal soaring height. Male rough-legged hawks defend their mates from other males by taking flight and chasing rival males.
Male and female rough-legged hawks build a nest together after they have found a suitable site on a rocky cliff. Males carry most of the building supplies while females construct the nest of twigs, grass, molted feathers, and fur from prey. Even objects such as caribou bones are sometimes incorporated into nests. Nests take three to four weeks to build and are usually 60 to 90 cm in diameter and 25 to 60 cm deep. (Bechard and Swem, 2002)
- Mating System
- monogamous
Rough-legged hawks breed once a year, usually between April and June, but breeding has also been reported in July. There are 2 to 7 eggs per clutch and they take a minimum of 31 days to hatch. Fledging usually takes more than 40 days, although some fly weakly at 31 days old. The young are not fully independent of the parents until 2 to 4 weeks after they leave the nest, at 55 to 70 days old. The period of independence sometimes extends into migration. Sexual maturity of males and females is reached at 2 to 3 years. (Bechard and Swem, 2002; Terres, 1980)

Both male and female Buteo lagopus provide for and protect their young from the time the eggs are laid until the young hawks are independent (55 to 70 days post-hatching). After the eggs are laid, the female will incubate them, while the male will hunt for food for both parents. The male will continue to hunt for both adults until the young hatch. Once the young have hatched, the female will begin to hunt to ensure that there will be enough food for both the young and the adults. Both parents will also guard the nest and ward off other birds and predators. (Pearson, et al., 1936; Morneau, 1994; Smith, 1987)

Rough-legged hawks can live up to 18 years in the wild. However, the average life span is about 2 years, largely because most young birds do not survive. Once they survive their fledging stage and first year, rough-legged hawk annual survival improves. Deaths often result from illegal shooting or trapping activites, collisions with human structures, such as powerlines or radio towers, and collisions with vehicles. In captivity, the longest living reported rough-legged hawk was 17 years old. However, a rough-legged hawk at the Pocatello Zoo, in Idaho, came in as an injured adult in 1987 and remains alive as of July 2009, making her over 24 years old.

Buteo lagopus is usually a solitary species but they occasionally migrate in small groups. Rough-legged hawks typically fly relatively low for birds of their size. They use wing-flapping to reach a preferred altitude, but then usually glide until a perch or a source of food is spotted. They are not known to walk at all, but rough-legged hawks have been spotted scooting down a perch to move closer to a mate or towards food. (Bechard and Swem, 2002)

Home Range
Rough-legged hawks have average territories of 7.3 square kilometers (range 3.6 - 11.8 square km).
These are territorial hawks and generally do not tolerate other nests within 1 km. Rough-legged hawks have been known to share cliff nesting spots with gyrfalcons Falco rusticalus and peregrine falcons Falco peregrinus as well as other rough-legged hawks, but only if the cliff is large and the nests are at least 30 m apart. They will avoid nesting within 60 m of any potential predators of their young, such as golden eagles. They will defend their nests from any bird that threatens them or their young. (Bechard and Swem, 2002)
Communication and Perception
Rough-legged hawks use sight and vocalizations to communicate with others. They use many calls for communication with other hawks such as a warning call (a high pitch shriek), a courtship call (a low whistle that turns into a hiss), and a "normal" call (a high-pitched whistle into a shriek). Rough-legged hawks are usually silent when away from the breeding site except when in competition with another male or threatened. Males may broadcast 100 calls per minute; much more often than females. (Bechard and Swem, 2002; Terres, 1980)
Food Habits
Rough-legged hawks are swift hunters than spot and capture prey with great precison. Rough-legged hawks will perch high in trees or soar in the sky where they can scan a field or grassy area for small prey. After the prey have been spotted, hawks take flight as quietly as possible (unless already in flight) and circle above a few times to ensure there is no competition with other birds of prey. They dive and spear prey with their large talons. They return to a perch to consume the meal. Typical prey include mice, shrews, black tailed prairie dogs Cynomys ludovicianus, small birds, and other squirrel species (Spermophilus and Tamias). (Pearson, et al., 1936; Reid, et al., 1997; Seery and Matiatos, 2000)

Their are many known predators of Buteo lagopus but most are predators of nestlings. Humans cause death in many rough-legged hawks by shooting, trapping, hitting them with cars, and building structures that the hawks fly into. Known predators of Buteo lagopus also include artic foxes (Vulpes lagopus), grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), and many other species of birds of prey. Most adult hawks are killed by these predators while trying to scare them away from their nests but artic foxes and other hawks are known to get into the nest and eat the eggs or nestlings. (Bechard and Swem, 2002; Pearson, et al., 1936)
- Known Predators
- humans (Homo sapiens)
- Artic foxes (Vulpes lagopus)
- grizzly bears (Ursus arctos)
- wolverines (Gulo gulo)
- great-horned owls (Bubo virginianus)
Ecosystem Roles
Rough-legged hawks help to control the populations of small mammals. Their nests are usually built where there is high prey density.
These hawks are hosts to many parasites, including several nematodes in the genus Physaloptera. A hematozoan documented in this species is a Leucocytozoon species. (Morgan, 1943; Reid, et al., 1997; Stabler and Holt, 1965)
- Physaloptera
- Leucocytozoon
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Buteo lagopus helps control pest (mice, moles, rats) populations through predation. (Reid, et al., 1997)
- Positive Impacts
- controls pest population
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse effects of Buteo lagopus on humans.
Conservation Status
Buteo lagopus is rated as "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List. Protected under the U.S. Migratory Bird Act, these birds cannot be hunted or killed except for scientific purposes.

reproduction in which eggs are released by the female; development of offspring occurs outside the mother's body.
- polymorphic
"many forms." A species is polymorphic if its individuals can be divided into two or more easily recognized groups, based on structure, color, or other similar characteristics. The term only applies when the distinct groups can be found in the same area; graded or clinal variation throughout the range of a species (e.g. a north-to-south decrease in size) is not polymorphism. Polymorphic characteristics may be inherited because the differences have a genetic basis, or they may be the result of environmental influences. We do not consider sexual differences (i.e. sexual dimorphism), seasonal changes (e.g. change in fur color), or age-related changes to be polymorphic. Polymorphism in a local population can be an adaptation to prevent density-dependent predation, where predators preferentially prey on the most common morph.

Velda's Livestream
I'm on a long hiatus but I'll come back soon. In the meantime, here's the embed with the video library:
Edit: I don't use livestream anymore. I use justin.tv: http://www.justin.tv/velderia (Or Twitch. I tried switching my account to Twitch but I might switch back because I had no idea Twitch was reserved for live gaming. Oops.)
I'm also considering on streaming on a custom server. I've seen other artists do it but I'm not really sure the actual cost of that. It's probably more expensive than normal web hosting I'd imagine.
Also, does anyone know of a really good convert-to-anything video editor? I have a .flv that doesn't really import well in Flash and was recorded using xSplit and I just want to remove the sound and speed it up so I can upload to Youtube and remain in good standing.
Edit: Hiatus.

Off the couch: Active options, June 14 and beyond
On Thursday, June 27 from noon until 3 p.m., Racheff House & Gardens will be filled with flower designs that will be featured at this year's Tennessee Valley Fair in September. They include a Construction by Jeannine Alley, a Reflective by Cindy Hintz, a Sculpture by Nelle Norris, a Still Life by Ann deLearie, a Stretch by Wilma Wilson, and Functional Table Setting on Tray by Paula Fortson. Ruth Lamb, a former president of the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs, will moderate the free workshop. Drinks and dessert will be provided and participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Seating is limited.
More info: Wilma Wilson, 865-573-6928.
The University of Tennessee Gardens' three locations now make up the official botanical garden for the state of Tennessee. The Legislature passed and Gov. Bill Haslam signed a bill giving the gardens that designation. The gardens operated by the UT Institute of Agriculture are in Knoxville on the UT agricultural campus off Neyland Drive, at the West Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center in Jackson and at the recently added Plateau AgResearch and Education Center in Crossville.
The gardens aim to cultivate appreciation of plants through horticultural displays, educational programs and research. They are also an outdoor plant laboratory where plants performance and landscape appeal are evaluated by researchers.
A botanical garden is defined as a garden where experts study, exhibit and teach about plants.
"Everyone associated with the gardens, from faculty, staff and student interns, to the many volunteers, Master Gardeners and donors, has worked hard to present an outstanding collection of public gardens. To be recognized as the state botanical garden is a great honor," said Gardens Director Susan Hamilton. "The designation also heightens awareness of one of Tennessee's best botanical resources."
Tennessee did not have an official botanical garden before the legislation.
The original Knoxville garden was established in 1983. One of its recent additions has been a showcase garden highlighting plants in the HGTV's home plant collection. That garden plot is located at the Gardens' plaza entrance.
Knoxville Botanical Garden & Arboretum will host a program about shade plants from 10 a.m.-noon Thursday, June 20. Learn what herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees thrive in shady and less-than-ideal conditions. This class is geared toward the beginner. Includes a tour of KBGA's extensive shade gardens. Cost: $7 for members, $12 nonmembers. Info: 865-862-8717 or www.knoxgarden.org.

This former Ramada Inn, now Holiday Inn, is said to be haunted by the ghost of a little girl named Aggie who used to live in the building. According to the tales told in these parts, Aggie fell to her death from a window of the barn, which was located where the banquet halls and front desk now stand. Those lucky enough to meet her may fine her running through the halls or peeking at you around a corner.
Another tine, two elderly ladies staying in one of the 300s rooms got the fright of their lives when they came upon a dead man in their bathtub. After they ran out screaming, staff checked the bathroom and found nothing there.

Twice as nice: Calallen grabs SpikeFest title
CORPUS CHRISTI - This CCISD McDonald's SpikeFest tournament title was twice as nice for the Calallen volleyball team, which made history Saturday by winning it again.
The Class 4A Wildcats became the first Corpus Christi volleyball team to win the tournament's championship division two consecutive seasons Saturday afternoon with a 25-15, 25-16, 25-15 title match victory over area rival Carroll at Ray High School.
"This is something that our girls really wanted to do for the Corpus Christi area, for themselves and for Calallen," Wildcats coach Lupe Cardona said.
"First time ever," Calallen senior middle blocker Kelsey Schwirtlich said with a smile. "We have nine seniors and everybody expects us to do really well. So, we just gave it our best shot and we made history."
Calallen (6-0) rolled to three straight tournament victories Saturday to retain the crown and didn't lose a game in doing so. The Wildcats also swept Class 5A Ray in the tournament quarterfinals and Class 4A Mission in the semifinals, before take care of the Tigers for the second time in a week in the championship match.
Calallen also opened the season earlier in the week with a four-game, non-district road triumph over Carroll.
"Losing to Calallen -- that's nothing to be ashamed of considering they have so much depth," said Carroll coach Doris Elizondo, whose team placed second in the tournament for the first time since 2003 after finishing third last season. "We didn't play near to the level that we played at in our house last Monday. So, I'm disappointed because I thought we could've played a little better today."
Unlike Monday's highly-contested match, Saturday's rematch between the teams was less dramatic, as Calallen cruised to sweep the Tigers.
While Schwirtlich -- who plans to sign a letter of intent in November to play Division I ball for Texas-San Antonio -- earned tournament Offensive MVP honors thanks to her match-high 11 kills, she had also plenty of help against Carroll.
Senior setter Courtney Oertli (who has committed to play at Villanova next season), senior middle blocker Angela Hook (who also made the all-tournament team with six kills and a team-high three blocks) and senior outside hitter Amanda Haven (nine kills) also helped supply the Wildcats with plenty of offensive firepower in the match.
"We definitely have the hitters -- it's not just two kids that can hit on our team," Cardona said. "It kept (Carroll) guessing as to who we were going to go to today, so that was really (a key) for us."
Calallen senior defensive specialists Becky Hook, who had a team-high 14 digs, and Tamara Wostal also combined for 16 points off serves and two aces.
Junior outside hitter Hailey Gillis (an all-tournament selection who had a team-high seven kills in the match), senior middle blocker Jessica Jimenez (who was the tournament's Defensive MVP) and junior outside hitter Melanie Steen combined for 15 kills to lead the Tigers.
Junior setter Ashley Carrillo also made the all tournament team for Carroll (2-2).
The Tigers and Wildcats will meet again Monday in another non-district match at Calallen at 4 p.m.
"It's a great feeling to beat such a good team like Carroll twice but it's (even more) difficult to beat them three times, so we're going to have to be ready."
"Calallen's a real ripe team and we're still a little green," Elizondo said. "We're still feeling out where we need to be. We still have a lot of work to do."
In other SpikeFest matches Saturday, King won the consolation championship of the championship division, while Beeville won the gold division and Flour Bluff finished third in the gold division.

You've probably never heard of Argentine tennis player Gisela Dulko, but trust us when we tell you that you should pay a little closer attention.
She may only be the 67th ranked player in the world, but she's fourth in doubles and is a former world No. 1 with partner Flavia Pennetta. More importantly, she's hot.
But why else would we even bother to post something about her if she wasn't? Right. But there is a twist to this hot chick – a dog!
Dulko also has a really large Newfoundland named India. On Friday, she posted several photos of her and India with sweet nothings like this for the big girl (50kg!).
Amor puro!!!! Pure LOVE!!! ♥
If we didn't know better, we'd say Dulko needs a man. If only we knew any eligible, single bachelors… oh, wait a second… Anyway, here's more of her an her current substitute.

Alright, Im 22 weeks pregnant and aside from that awful morning sickness everything has been fine. Im really bad at describing what Im feeling so bear with me. The past couple days I have been feeling this pulsing inside of my vagina. And then this rumble in my pelvic area. And I tend to feel it the most when Im sitting. But Ive read on here before that its just a blood flow thing but my sister says I should call the OB. Ive let it go until now just chalking it up to either constipation or not drinking enough water. Since this is my first pregnancy, Im clueless. What do you ladies think?
Pulsing in vagina?!

With the start of a new year, looking for a new start
I'm a single parent with 2 kids. I'm pretty easygoing. I enjoy going out to the bar occasionally, but I'm most happy having a quiet evening at home. I just recently retired from the military and am currently enrolled in a culinary program. I love being outdoors, but I haven't been able to spend as much time as I would like. I am an avid baseball fan. My son plays football, so I am learning more about that...don't want to embarrass him because I don't know anything. One of my favorite things to do is go to a game and be able to cheer on my team. I also enjoy camping and hiking. I love taking walks on the beach. I believe that honesty is the best policy so I will always tell you what is exactly on my mind and I would expect the man in my life to do the same. I am very family oriented. My kids are the most important things in my life. If you would like to know more, just ask.

The M9 Girls are Any, Pato, Claudia, and Karla. They are a team of college researchers who gain the ability to tap into the primordial power of the universe and become endowed with superpowers as a result. The current story arc is the [[SuperHeroOrigin origin story]], with the girls discovering the implications of their transformation. Although the girls dress up in attires closer to MagicalGirl looks, their story is more of a SuperHero one with MadScience overtones. The comic has been updating since 2011.!This comic provides examples of:* AfraidOfNeedles: Pato apparently hates getting shots.* {{Animesque}}: Both the story and the art are Manga-influenced.* ArtShift: Séreméla is the artist as of Chapter 5.* BareYourMidriff: Any's costume reveals her slender midriff.* TheBechdelTest: Passes. Unsurprisingly, given the majority female cast, all of them being college students, and the only one with a crush keeping it to herself. * BodyHorror: The cyborgs look like a cross between robots, zombies, and torture victims.* BlatantLies: Vero's excuses when she's caught sneaking into the lab are...less than convincing.* CheekyMouth: Frequently.* ColorCharacter: All the M9 Girls hero names.* CrossOver: Several, particularly members of Website/WebcomicUnderdogs. To date the girls have met Webcomic/TheDemonArchives, Webcomic/PrincessChroma, and Webcomic/GroovyKinda among others.* CrucifiedHeroShot: When Any is given her second dose of radiation, the platform she's on strongly resembles a cross.* CurseCutShort: Pato, when she realizes she possesses absorbent powers.* GotVolunteered: Pato gets shoved to the front of the line for radiation treatment, despite her marked reluctance to go.* DramaticIrony: Vero is laughed at for thinking the lab is involved in some kind of conspiracy. [[spoiler: And it is.]]* ElementalPowers: The abilities that the M9 Girls possess seem to be connected to the universe's own inherent power.* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Karla can produce colorful sparkles.* FormFittingWardrobe: Blame Karla.* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Any is melancholic, Pato is phlegmatic, Clau is sanguine, and Karla is choleric.* HowDoIShotWeb: The third chapter has the girls experimenting with their powers, and the fourth chapter features a training sequence under Professor T.X.* IdenticalPanelGag: Every now and then. For example, [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2012/07/08/busted/ this page]] depicts how exciting is the actual work at a genetics lab, and [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2013/10/20/time-in-a-bottle/ this page]] uses it to convey Any's [[TimeMaster time-freezing]] powers.* InSeriesNickname: All of the girls are known by their shortened nicknames.* IKnewIt: Vero thinks the girls are part of a conspiracy. [[spoiler: She finds out she's right]].* LEGOGenetics: A combination of this and radiation are what give the M9 Girls their powers.* LuminescentBlush: Any blushes quite a bit around the professor early on.* MadScientist: [[spoiler: Professor T.X.]] does not seem to have problems with a complete lack of research ethics for human experimentation.* MagicalGirl: The M9 Girls are the mad science-version of the trope.* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Professor T.X.]] uses his [[spoiler: ridiculously good looks]] to manipulate Any, Pato, Claudia, and Karla into becoming subjects for his mad experiments.* MindOverMatter: Claudia is a telekinetic.* MiniDressOfPower: Lampshaded. Karla reasons that, since they are becoming super heroines, they should all wear pretty costumes.* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Any realizes that she is able to read minds and becomes disappointed in her choice of crushes.* NervesOfSteel: Purple Space is the first to act when a threat comes up. Just don't give her [[FearOfNeedles a shot]].* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: The cyborgs have a little of everything in their design, not always for the better.* OnlyKnownByTheirNickName: Professor T.X. * OperaGloves: All girls wear gloves, though probably Any qualifies better. She also wears ThighHighBoots.* PowerGlows: Using cosmic powers results in a purple aura.* QuirkyCurls: Pato, the most contrary of the group. * ShyFingerTwiddling: Karla does this when the Professor points out the unaccounted expense on the costumes she has made for the Girls.* SourSupporter: Pato is the least enthusiastic member of the group. She's also prone to teasing from the others as a result.* SpandexLatexOrLeather: Technically, [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2013/08/26/went-too-far/ "an unaccounted expense on high-resistance polymer fibers"]]* SpeechBubbles: Each character gets a different font in the early chapters. Apparently the authors got tired of keeping track of the fonts, because they have dropped it in later chapters.* SuperHeroOrigin: The webcomic itself is an origin story.* TimeMaster: Any can create a bubble inside of which time is slowed down.* TheEmpath: Any's other main power. * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Vero and Karla.* TranslationConvention: The comic is published originally in Spanish. The M9 Girls speak Spanish and the English version is there for readers' convenience.* WillTheyOrWontThey: Any and Professor T.X. ----

England fall to classy Exiles
Hodgson the hero as Super League's overseas stars shine
By Rob Lancaster. Last Updated: 04/07/12 10:40pm
Daniel Holdsworth and Brett Hodgson: influential for the Exiles in their victory
The Exiles made sure the 2012 International Origin Series would end all square with a 32-20 victory over England at the Galpharm.
Skipper Brett Hodgson scored two tries and kicked four goals to help Super League's overseas stars run out comfortable winners in Huddersfield, meaning they retain the trophy they had won last year at Headingley.
Francis Meli also touched down twice in the second half as the Exiles gained revenge for their 18-10 loss in the opener at a rain-soaked Langtree Park.
England, without rested quartet Ryan Hall, Kevin Sinfield, Sean O'Loughlin and Sam Tomkins, as well as the now-retired Jamie Peacock, did manage four tries, though a young side led by Jon Wilkin were taught a harsh lesson by their more experienced opponents.
Open game
Amazingly the first half passed without a penalty being called, and the open nature of the game suited the much-changed Exiles down to the ground.
They broke the deadlock in just the fourth minute when Hodgson crossed for his first of the night, the full-back running on to a pass from Scott Dureau to burst through just as it appeared the opportunity had gone begging.
The opening try was a pre-cursor for what was to come, with England's left flank being left horribly exposed on numerous occasions.
Only the efforts of Warrington duo Ryan Atkins and Stefan Ratchford denied Steve Menzies, who continues to prove age is no barrier, from getting in at the right corner, while Daniel Holdsworth was held up over the line.
It therefore came as a surprise that England scored the next try, Ryan Atkins the man to get it when he somehow managed to go untouched down the left for a superb solo effort that Danny Brough couldn't quite convert.
The Exiles response was a superb flowing move, again down their right, that was finished off by Dureau under the uprights, and they touched down again on the same flank before the break through winger Joel Monaghan.
In between Josh Charnley forced his way over after good work by the Huddersfield pairing of Brough and Leroy Cudjoe, though Steve McNamara's side still trailed 16-10 at the break.
Squeezed in
The gap was increased when Meli squeezed in at the left corner despite pressure from Charnley, who didn't last much longer in the contest as a calf problem forced him out of the action.
Yet when the impressive Holdsworth was held up just short seven minutes later, Hodgson took it upon himself to burrow over from dummy-half. His fourth conversion followed, opening up a 16-point lead.
England gave themselves a glimmer of hope when winger Tom Briscoe produced a fine finish out wide, diving over with his feet raised, though that was quickly extinguished when Meli added a simple run-in.
A Leroy Cudjoe effort, converted by Brough, gave England a consolation effort in the closing minutes. For McNamara, however, it will have been of little consolation; he has much to ponder after seeing his young troops toppled.

Love: Its Wonderments, Sufferings and Consumations (Free Aud
by Lonnie Hicks
After the ecstasy, the laundry
spin cycle
older times, gifted me with grace
i seemingly crafted into my race
there was nothing i needed, or couldn't be
fearless, talents, wild and needlessly free
i could hear their whispers, on how i'd fall down
instinct ignored those wishes of unmasked clowns
dammit those were the times my pride turned ghost
dammit those were the times life sailed that perfect coast
good memories fill heavy tonight
i just want to stay in this light
and then pretend nothing ever changed
keep pretending each second's still the same
a youth of perfection, tasting so sweet
intuition instinctively my favorite treat
strong drive with need never once did fail
not for rain, snow, sleet or hail
when the winds roared beyond control
i knew my imagination had set sail
that's when they dove in
believing with no doubt they would win
as i waited until they finished their thrill
slowly did i respond to kill
no not a violent grown girl
just malicious, devious, revengeful, better, stronger, a better actor, torture pleasing, took each prisoner and above all far sharper in the area of intuition
dammit those were the times i loved the most
why would anyone chase ecstasy from a crazy mind
knowing so and calling them just the same
why, cause that's their game
muffling their scores
laundry quick as chores
no trace
no face
just traumatic secrets
and lasting bets
older times did gift me a bit late
top of my status, every state
learning to embrace hate
prepared to be bait
dammit those were trying times
dammit i have crossed too many lines
ecstasy was presented by threat alone
same old attempts turned me to stone
do not ever mistake
my kindness for your fate
i love the laundry, erasing each hate
i fear no one left
come grab me i'll pay
to perform more laundry today

Overall Experience
Great Exeperience
July 01, 2015
Everthing went smoothly and rooms were great. We would stay at this hotel in the future. Staff was polite and helpful.
Uncomfortable Sofas
June 30, 2015
The sofas at this hotel are dated and very uncomfortable and should be replaced. The breakfast options are limited and quickly run out. We had to eat with spoons because there were no forks plastic or otherwise and the service staff didn't seem to eager to replenish. The bacon was very overcooked and the fruit bowls were empty despite it being only 8:30 in the morning and breakfast ends at 10:30. However the hotel is only a short drive across the lake to New Orleans without all the hustle and bustle of the city. Restaurants are nearby and parking is free.
Nice hotel but no hot tub
June 27, 2015
The room was nice, the bedding was comfortable, and the furnishings were excellent. The reason for our leisure visit was to use the pool and the hot tub. The pool was nice, but the hot tub that is pictured next to it in the photo on the hotel website does not exist. We felt disappointed and deceived.
Housekeeping was outstanding in the rooms, but spills, etc in the hallways and elevator were left uncleaned for a while. The attendant in the dining area was super.
Good value
June 22, 2015
Staff at this hotel are its strongest point. Rooms are worn and carpets need cleaning. Food is above average and offered more often the most hotel chains, with breakfast every morning and 3 times a week a dinner social with items like taco bar, grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, and cold cut sandwiches. This was my first experience with Stay Bridge, We had some minor inconveniences and noted the carpet had not been cleaned for a while, but the price was comparable to the accommodations.

Goal oriented equestrian looking for Mr. Right
I'm not one to talk about myself and have never done the online thing so here it goes. I'm intelligent, hard working, goal oriented, ambitious, attractive with athletic build, beautiful eyes and amazing personality. Tend to be shy at first, but once I'm comfortable I'm a blast. I like sports, the gym, animals, not a huge party person but do like to go out to a lounge, nice dinner or gather with friends and just hang out. I enjoy broadway shows, concerts and the finer things in life. I love getting dressed up as im usually in jeans being a professional equestrisn but am able to kick back and relax with a movie. Don't get me wrong though, just because I play with horses for a living doesn't mean I'm not educated. I have a BS in Biology from Lehigh University and grew up in a very medically oriented family. Family is very important to me as well and one day want to have my own. I have done the marriage thing before and really liked it, just happened to marry the wrong guy. With that said I have to be perfectly honest, I'm a passionate, caring, loving, whitty, and sometimes a little sarcastic person but an independent person as well and I am looking for the same. I'm able to be together and have a great time but am also able to be by myself and don't need my hand held. I would like my match to be the same. I want him to be able to go out with friends with or without me. I'm looking for a grown-up that is not into the high school games, but is able to be in a relationship and partnership. If interested, please email me :)

I enjoy syfy/horror/thought provoking movies, listen to all types of music depending on my mood. My favorite foods are sushi and Mexican. I like anything from the most rediciulous talk shows to investication and educational tv.
I enjoy hiking, deep sea fishing, sports, exercising, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, going to the beach. I'm very willing to try anything once and if I like it I'll try it again :).
The Hunger Games, I also like mysteries.

I'm struggling with a strange problem. First the code:
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]
with this code, when i visit http://www.domain.com/producten/term1/subterm/product this gives a 404. As soon as I delete 'hierarchical' => true, within the rewrite part of the custom taxonomy and I only use one term, it all works.
So in short:
http://www.domain.com/producten/term1/subterm/product <-- does not work
http://www.domain.com/producten/term1/subterm/ <-- works
http://www.domain.com/producten/term1/<-- works
I've no idea what to do anymore, I've flushed the permalinks several times. I switched theme's during updates. I do have a feeling that I have to alter the .htacces file, but i don't really understand what to do. I've red a dozen of articles about this, but most problems are slightly different (or I dont understand it, because my english isn't that great).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
