From Perth in Top Gear
I better fill you all in about part one before I start riding part two in a couple of days.
Ok Part One
The idea started at Christmas time when my wife gave my daughter, Kate and I tickets to the Top Gear World Tour Show in Melbourne in March . I looked at Kate and smiled, I think it took her about one nano-second to read my mind. Melbourne is only about 3500kms away perfect distance for a little ride. The tricky bit was the time to do it. Kate operates her own business so had to spend time working most days on the road and though my wife would easily run our business it was a busy time for me to be away. The compromise was to ride to Melbourne over a week and then jump on planes Kate to Sydney for her next job and me back to Perth.
Thanks to Dale and Pam for the space in their garage for our bikes for a couple of weeks .. or thats what we thought then, but more of that later
OK so lets get back to the start, the bikes, Im on a 06 BMW 1200gs and Kate is on a 2010 BMW F650gs. Sorry - didnt get a pic of the two bikes at the start heres one from half way through.
Well departure day arrived and it took me a while to fit a new screen to Kates bike, pack and add ADV stickers to my bike so we ended up getting away by noon. The extra height of the screen made a big difference particularly in South Australia where we got hit by windy conditions. Not sure the ADV stickers increase the speed of the GS but they did make it look better!!!
Had a last duty family stop in Toodyay then on the road.
The plan was to camp most nights, so we took everything .. kitchen sink . food for weeks . cameras chargers and more chargers ..and the Top gear tickets. What is that saying Take half as much stuff and twice the money" In fact I might put that to road test one day just leave with empty panniers and buy what I need if I really I need it. The other part of the part of the plan was to ride to Melbourne and get there Friday night or at worst Saturday morning, end of plan.
As next day was Sunday we werent sure what towns would be open in the wheat belt so we stopped to top up with fuel at Meckering.
Found these V8 monsters sitting at the servo which apparently they do a lot of -frequently. Awesome in a straight line between fill ups but they dont turn so good the boys said.
Kate practicing sign for the coming 3400kms
Oops thats right we have a set of Scala G4 inter-comms. Great bit of gear.
We headed south of Meckering about 20km and found a not so tidy gravel pit to set up camp in. So day one we hadnt covered many miles but at least we were under way. The first night on a trip, camped under the stars you can feel some of the work stress drip away
Next day we wandered across to Hyden and then on the gravel to Norseman
Last stop before we lose reception for 300kms
The Go Pro got fitted for the 300km of gravel road between Hyden and Norseman - it didnt work at all on the screen not surprisingly but we had to try so it was back onto the helmets. Someone much more tech savy than me is still putting the GoPro footage together so will keep you posted.
The turn off for the Holland Track I was tempted -the track was dry - unlike last time I did it- but we were on mission
Saw a few of these cute little guys. The Thorny Devil - these guys change colors depending on their surroundings
We camped night two a few kms shy of Norseman not many miles for the day but we had but we werent in a hurry
Then onto the Nullarbor - there had been a lot of rain so it was all green, no roos- they were all being smart and staying well away from the road.
Some people cant read signs when they are chasing shade under the only tree within about 5kms of the roadhouse
On the Nullarbor somewhere

I just dont get this people hanging crap on dead trees - what do they do carry a pair of sneakers (in this case) around so they can hang them in a tree somewhere if they see one. There is some odd trees out there soft toys bras beer cans knickers camp chairs? Someone is driving past thinks Oh a chair tree - Ill put my chair on that tree so for the next few nights I can sit on the dirt??? So the rest of us get to look at a bunch of trash hanging in the trees
There was plenty of this checking and changing chargers- phones, headsets, camera batteries
Kate is a producer of TV adverts and last year she made an ad out on the Nullarbor at a roadhouse/town called Mundrabilla. If you happen to visit Mundrabilla call in and check out the sign inside. The ad was about banking in the West and not sending your money to the big banks based in Sydney and Melbourne.
We headed down into the Eyre Peninsula after Ceduna and spent the night in Streaky Bay. Beautiful town had a feed of fresh fish and oysters overlooking the beach. Magic. Sorry the photos were blurry!
Wandered back inland a little then cut back towards this town then back to the main highway
Headsets are great and then you rely on them, then you get separated and the headset doesnt work so you sit in a little town looking at wheat silos wondering if you were the other person where would you meet up not here obviously there must be a much more central location
This is where to meet halfway, or at least next to the Halfway Across Australia sign.
Kate found someone better to chat to after a couple of days with her Dad
The Big Galah
Some towns you ride into and you get a vibe - some good, some weird - on the day we rode into this little South Australian town the aliens had been before us and sucked everyone out not a single living thing except to the two aliens walking slowly back along the jetty this way us to claim us as well. We left before we were absorbed. Sorry, its probably a really nice town but Im not going back.
We didn't go into Adelaide instead we took a winding route inland riding along some fantastic roads through the Clare and Barossa Valleys
Last minute check of those charges before we head out from our Clare motel.

Then we got to the Barossa Valley no time to stop and sample the famous wines at the cellar doors we had done that the night before
Kingston - we did have a lobster dish at the restaurant here, it was good so they can buildem and cookem
Another giant thing photo - of a giant crayfish as we call them lobsters to the rest of you. I have a bit of an interest in these big things having built a 40 feet long fiberglass whale shark at one stage
Over the border
And then onto the Great Ocean Road. This road must be one of the most travelled, riden, and photographed roads in Australia. Awesome scenery, awesome numbers of cars and vans and only a couple of bikes but worth the ride.
You can tell when you are in Melbourne lots of birds.
We made it to Melbourne on the Friday, parked up the bikes and flew off, oh yes the Top Gear World Tour show - yep good reason for ride.
Now part two that shouldve started in April but it finally starts this Sunday, in the middle of winter.
So off to buy thermals and a waterproof camera . Couple of things I did realise doing this report is how long reports take to do so a big thank you to those that do lots of reports especially when they are on the road. Another realisation is that I need more photos!

Across the Nullarbor - its a trip thats worth it and nowhere near as boring as some would have us believe. The 300km of dirt from Hyden to Norseman probably wont be there much longer sadly.

Well I got the thermals and bonus -some warm pad things that are guaranteed to keep penguins warm - apparently! Oh and a camera that can be eaten by a dog and still take pictures. All set then. I meant to print out a map of how to get out of Melbourne - that didn't happen so I 'll be following directions from my bike hostess , Pam -till I forget them after that it'll be following my nose.
I have week before I have to meet Kate back in Melbourne for the run back to Perth, I have no maps or GPS so who knows where I'll go in that week( relied on Kates iphone to get us into Melbourne) i might head east and follow the coast more?? or maybe into a servo a and get a map might be the best plan.
So thats the plan Joe - pretty much there's not one. Those thorny devils - we saw about six within a couple of kms then no more but anytime you and Flora want to come back I'll take you to the spot!
Thanks Michael, it'll be a couple of weeks - sorry not as techno-savy as all these other travellers that do this stuff on the road!

Rated 5 out of 5 by 42 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ziutab We LOVE Orijen! I said it before, I will say it again EVERYTHING ORIJEN is the BEST! Looks at the ingredient list of their food and treats... you can't even compare it with ANY other dog/cat food. You get more than you pay for, it is worth every penny. The treats are fantastic, not hard but not mushy. perfect for training! Other treats are too hard and make a mess and take too long to eat and I used to use Hot dogs or cheese but that would get messy. THESE treats are just perfect and my dogs LOVE them! Diesel is a very PICKY eater and he loves these! Even the cat loves them and she will line up next to my dogs to get a treat, it's really funny! Buy it, you will not be sorry! April 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mygaljean Ingredients safe for diiabetic dog. I bought this product for a dog who was used to getting treats, but had been diagnosed recently with diabetes. She gets a treat after every insulin shot. She loves them and the ingredients allows her to have her treats still (in limited quantity, but as a reward.) She seems to find them very tasty. May 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cosmo12 Orijen Original Freeze-Dried Dog Treats She really doesn't like many treats,but these Orijen Freeze-Dried treats she went wild after. Next time I'll buy a bigger bag. April 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Happyowner Healthy treat I'm happy to feed this with my dog. He eats Orijen 6 Fish dog food, and I'd like to stay consistent with the brand. The only thing I don't like about freeze dried treats is that they don't crunch, and could potentially get stuck in his teeth - leaving plaque. They're soft and chewy. Other than that, great treat! April 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by IMHO10X Great Product My dog loves these treats and I love that the manufacturer places safety and responsibility as their priority. These treats are of high quality ingredients. They are however, freeze dried so they can crumble if keeping them in your pocket. Their consistency is not hard like a cookie. Orijen dog treats are the only treats we give our dog! June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mido My dogs love it Surprisingly light always ht. All my dogs are loving it and I feel good giving them something that does not contain any additives. May 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mindy123 Great Product My dog loves these treats and they are good for her. Also, Chewy has been great to deal with - really fast delivery and always boxed securely so items do not get damaged in shipment. May 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marbenv Picky dogs love these! I search for treats that all six of my dogs will love and these fit their taste! Will be ordering more! April 23, 2013

12 games to go. LA are in 8th, 2 games ahead of Utah and Dallas in 9th/10th. 3 games behind Houston for 7th. The smoke's beginning to clear away now, and it looks like predictions of the Lakers making the playoffs will be on the mark. Hell... it's not like picking contenders for the Kentucky Derby - it's a pretty good bet now that the Lakers will make it. Still, the road home's not easy. Difficult games litter the last 12. Hosting Memphis, Dallas the Dubs and Houston... and trips to GSW (today), LAC (har-har), San Antonio and Portland. That's 8 out of 12 difficult games, and no games on the schedule could be counted as "gimmes". However, Utah have a tough stretch home too, and of late they've been playing truly abysmal basketball. Dallas too have a hard road home. 7 of their games remaining are against playoff-bound teams, and only 2 games are relatively soft. Portland? Well... mathematically they're still in it. But with 9 games vs very tough playoff-bound opponents, and the only non-playoff teams they face are Dallas and Utah - two teams who will be most eager to do battle. Fuhgeddabowdit. I don't think that the Lakers can catch Houston. Nor do I think they should want to should the standings up top remain the same. Redolent of a few years ago (Memphis vs San Antonio), #1 San Antonio are a much better option for LA than Oklahoma. Granted, a lot will have to go right for LA to have a chance against either... but I fancy the chances vs the Spurs far more than I do vs OKC. Simply a better match-up for the Lakers than the fast-paced Thunder. Not a done thing yet... but given the way this season began, I'm happy where the Lakers find themselves now. Cannot believe that too... happy for the team just to make the playoffs? I guess this is what a Houston Rockets fan feels like!

It's a lot of the same old suspects this week among the NHL's top ten teams, but the Colorado Avalanche continue to show that they belong with the big boys. The top spot belongs to the San Jose Sharks until further notice given the way that they're straight embarrassing teams, but that's been a similar pattern for the talented Sharks over the last few years.
Clearly it's still early in the power rankings season, and time will tell with a lot of these teams:
30. Buffalo Sabres (1-8-1, last week: 30) – All you need to know is that "Fire Darcy" has become the en vogue chant at the First Niagara Center. The GM that created this mess, Darcy Regier, really has to go at this point.
29. Philadelphia Flyers (1-7-0, last week: 16) – Out of shape and unprepared to start the NHL season is no way to go through hockey life, son.
28. Edmonton Oilers (2-6-1, last week: 14) – Maybe the win this weekend is all they needed, but a legitimate goaltender would certainly help matters. What's the harm in trying Bryz on for size?
27. New Jersey Devils (1-4-3, last week: 27) – Sad to watch Martin Brodeur these days when he probably should have gone out after the Stanley Cup Final berth a couple of years ago.
26. Columbus Blue Jackets (2-5-0, last week: 21) – There may not be much for Nathan Horton to come back to when he returns from his shoulder surgery rehab in January.
25. New York Rangers (2-5-0, last week: 10) – Losing Ryan Callahan for a month is exactly what this team didn't need. Could Alain Vigneault already be in trouble?
24. Florida Panthers (3-6-0, last week: 18) – The Panthers have still allowed the most goals (32) in the Eastern Conference despite the presence of Tim Thomas. Life without Zdeno Chara isn't easy.
23. Dallas Stars (3-4-0, last week: 26) – Tyler Seguin is tearing it up with 10 points, but the Stars are in last place. That's about how the Bruins envisioned the 22-year-old turning into a stat god for a non-playoff hockey team.
22. Washington Capitals (3-5-0, last week: 8) – Another year and another slow start for the Capitals, who should start to rise in a very mediocre Metropolitan Division.
21. Winnipeg Jets (4-4-0, last week: 22) – Amazing that the Jets front office locks all of their players up to long term deals, and the urgency suddenly goes away from a team that hasn't even made the playoffs yet. Hope the Winnipeg fan base remembers that I called this one over the summer.
20. Minnesota Wild (3-3-3, last week: 17) – Mike Yeo may be in trouble soon coaching a team that's stuck in neutral with a fading star in Dany Heatley that looks like he's pretty close to done.
19. New York Islanders (3-3-2, last week: 19) – Not great, and not horrible. Yup, that sounds like the Islanders.
18. Calgary Flames (3-2-2, last week: 29) – I don't quite understand why you'd want to send a promising youngster like Sean Monahan back to junior hockey when he's proven he can play at the NHL level. It seems like Calgary might surprise a few people this year.
17. Ottawa Senators (3-3-2, last week: 7) – Surprising that Erik Karlsson has struggled a bit out of the starting gate, and that's reflected in Ottawa's mediocre record.
16. Nashville Predators (4-3-1, last week: 25) – Could this be the year the Predators fall out of the playoff picture? At least it appears that Seth Jones is progressing nicely.
15. Carolina Hurricanes (4-2-3, last week: 23) – Mark my words, Anton Khudobin will be the starter here before the year is out.
14. Tampa Bay Lightning (5-3-0, last week: 28) – The Bolts look like they've found their guy in Ben Bishop. Now they just need some defensemen.
13. Montreal Canadiens (5-3-0, last week: 13) – Montreal is off to a decent start, but injuries to Daniel Briere and Brandon Prust over the weekend could be a concern to the Habs.
12. Vancouver Canucks (5-3-1, last week: 11) – Looks like Vancouver is starting to take to the Tortorella Rules. Who would have thought?
11. Boston Bruins (5-2-0, last week 2) – The win over Tampa showed exactly what the Bruins are capable of when they're playing up to potential. Tuukka Rask has taken it to another level this season.
10. St. Louis Blues (5-1-1, last week: 6) – They were off to a good start in St. Louis, but got slapped around by the Sharks last week.
9. Phoenix Coyotes (5-2-2, last week: 15) – The Desert Dogs just keep on rolling along, anonymously and efficiently.
8. Los Angeles Kings (6-3-0, last week: 4) – The Kings are just pacing themselves during the regular season, but everybody knows how much talent lies in wait there.
7. Toronto Maple Leafs (6-3-0, last week: 12) – The Leafs were off to one of the best starts in recent franchise history, and look to be a playoff team again this season. Guess signing Phil Kessel was the right move.
6. Detroit Red Wings (6-3-0, last week: 5) – The Wings are liking their new Atlantic Division digs already. The Winged Wheels impressed in their second go-round in Boston last week.
5. Anaheim Ducks (6-1-0, last week: 24) – The Ducks have been one of the hottest teams in hockey since getting spanked by Colorado on opening night.
4. Chicago Blackhawks (5-1-2, last week: 1) – The reigning champs are just going about their business, and haven't shown one iota of a hangover.
3. Colorado Avalanche (7-1-0, last week: 20) – The power of Patrick Roy and a bunch of former No. 1 picks is doing wonders along the Rocky Mountain Hockey Way.
2. Pittsburgh Penguins (7-1-0, last week: 3) – Right now the Penguins are riding a resurgent Marc-Andre Fleury, but we'll see how long the Flower stays in bloom this season.
1. San Jose Sharks (7-0-1, last week: 9) – Cocky Joe Thornton and the rest of the Sharks are off to another incendiary start. We've seen this before, so the question remains as to how long they'll sustain it. The Sharks have nothing to prove in the regular season.

The flow transients as initiated by rapid gas release are studied both experimentally and analytically. The mathematical model developed considers a multiple pin failure in a fast-reactor subassembly. In formulating the model, it is assumed that the released gas fills the subassembly cross section uniformly and that the coolant flow is incompressible. The model considers the inertial contribution of the liquid columns beyond the pin assembly, as well as the three-dimensional flow effects in the inlet and outlet plenums. In the application of the model to out-of-pile simulation loops, or in-pile test loops, points of departure in hydraulic simulation of the actual reactor conditions can be taken into account. A quantitative criterion for valid application of the model is obtained in terms of breach size, number of pins ruptured, initial gas plenum pressure and temperature, and subassembly operating conditions. The predictions of the flow transients obtained by means of the model agree well with the experimental data. An example of the application of the model to a reactor configuration is given using an FFTF fuel subassembly.

Cruise with me........
So its come to this! I am tired of all the game players and lunatics out there and would like to meet a certain someone with morals, values, honesty, and intelligence. I am well travelled and this is my favorite thing to do. My work sometimes takes me on the cruise ships - yes free cruises! I work out , rollerblade, hang out with my dog, and for going out I do the usual things. It would be nice to take someone out for a nice dinner instead of just hanging with the guys all the time! I am not scared of meeting someone that has children even though I have none of my own. I like to try new things - went a little crazy recently and went skydiving. I'll tell you more when you ask me.....How do you know your ideal match? I have been here a long time and still don't know what that means. Just be honest, and sincere - no game players, no lies. I also appreciate someone that looks after themself - being a couch potato is fine some of the time, just not ALL of the time.

I have Dogs

Love to travel anywhere - theres a lot of world out there and I have only seen 1/2 of it. Paris is a favorite, as is Rome and even Vancouver. London is my original home.
Italian food,Kayaking, being on the water, live bands,good movies thrillers for books. Rain never stopped me doing anything. TV - dont get to watch much
I work a lot of hours so time off is valuable - I try to get to the gym, rollerblade, when I get the chance. Sometimes a night in watching a movie with my dog is just fine too. I am always looking for new places to go.
all sorts of books and autobiographies

Gallery: UO students hope SPRNG's eternal
Last week's Sustainable Practices Raising Net Growth program, or SPRNG, delivered exactly what it promised: Reams of information for curious, as well as industry onlookers, looking for insight into responsible business practices.
The first SPRNG conference — it almost certainly won't be the last — provided deep analyses from such business leaders as Gerding Edlen's Mark Edlen and The Freshwater Trust's Joe Whitworth.
SPRNGtime: A look at the first annual SPRNG Conference
As co-organizer Ryan Seo put it, the conference can help interested parties "create a much larger impact towards our goal of fueling change with the power of business."
As the very first SPRNG conference, this was a perfect time to collaborate outside of the confines of the campus. This also meant that we could make it as unique as we wanted- making sure we included everything we wanted from other conferences we have attended.
While there was plenty to glean from the conference's speakers, there were also plenty of memorable moments, captured by a gaggle of UO photographers. Click to the right for a pictorial guide to SPRNG.

TOKYO - SEPTEMBER 28: Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia in action against Kimiko Date Krumm of Japan on day three of the Toray Pan Pacific Open at Ariake Colosseum on September 28, 2010 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by Koji Watanabe/Getty Images)
Kimiko Date-Krumm is still winning in the Grand Slam arena at age 42, much to the dismay of her former peers. Asked what her 1990s-era rivals such as Steffi Graf and Gabriela Sabatini say when they see her, Date-Krumm said: ''Everybody say to me, `You are crazy.' First word is always, `You are crazy.'' Date-Krumm advanced to the third round of the Australian Open on Thursday with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Shahar Peer. Graf, who beat Date-Krumm in the 1994 Australian Open semifinals before going on to win the title, is now married to four-time Australian Open champion Andre Agassi and has two children. ''Of course, she say to me, `You should stop now and make the baby,''' Date-Krumm said of the advice she gets from the 43-year-old former German ace. Date-Krumm doesn't plan to stop anytime soon. At 42 years, 111 days, she is the second-oldest woman to reach the third round of a Grand Slam after Renee Richards, who was 45 years, 8 days old when she reached the third round of the US Open...

THURSDAY, Oct. 20 (HealthDay News) -- The 5 billion people worldwide who chat away on cell phones shouldn't worry about an increased risk of brain cancer, new Danish research contends.
One of the largest and longest studies on the subject finds no more brain tumors among people who had cell phones over 17 years than among people who had no cell phones.
Although no one study can rule out harm with absolute certainty, "the risk, if there is one, is extremely low," said Dr. Ezriel E. Kornel, director of the Neuroscience Institute at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, N.Y.
Previous studies haven't definitively answered the question of whether cell phone use is harmful: While several studies have found no cause for alarm, a handful did show an upped risk of malignant brain tumors.
Based on the totality of existing evidence, the World Health Organization in May classified cell phones as "possibly carcinogenic to humans," and placed them in the same category as the pesticide DDT and gasoline engine exhaust.
Experts have been concerned that radio frequency electromagnetic fields sent out by a cell phone held close to the ear could trigger a malignancy.
This new study, led by researchers from the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Copenhagen, was a follow-up to an earlier trial that also had found no increased risk in cell phone users. Their latest report is published in the Oct. 20 issue of BMJ.
Here, the researchers analyzed data on about 360,000 people in Denmark who had cell phone subscriptions.
There was no difference in tumor incidence between the two groups overall or for people who had had cell phones for 13 years or longer.
Nor was there any hint that tumors might be more common in areas of the brain closest to the ear where the cell phone is held.
There was a very slight increased risk of glioma, a type of malig

This incredibly detailed map tells all. The visualization, made by Bloomberg Businessweek, shows the top 100 sources of "imported talent," from both U.S. states and foreign countries. According to Bloomberg, "Asian Americans became the majority of the tech workforce in the Valley" in 2010; and one third of Valley startups "are founded by Indian Americans." In addition, Mexico, Texas, and Arizona rank among the top ten sources of Silicon Valley talent, Bloomberg claims. Most importantly, this graphic makes crystal-clear why countless entrepreneurs and investors consider immigration reform a top priority. See the graphic in full right here on BusinessWeek's site.

I like to run a lot and see movies. On most weekends I like to just hang out with friends or go down town. I recently have been getting into trail biking and enjoy that as well. When winter comes I really like going to hockey games.
One of the last things I read was the past issue of Time magazine about if america is able to deal with Islam. I really like non fiction though and books like Confessions of an Economic Hitman, as far as fiction I like Chuck Palahniuk.

editors & contributors

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Fr. Edward Salmon.
The stories of Easter and Passover are stories of triumphing over adversity, of overcoming hatred and contempt. As such, they speak in powerful ways to glbtq people, whether they are religious or not. In observance of these holidays, we want to call attention to a powerful composition by Stephen Schwartz inspired by the "It Gets Better" project and performed by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. In addition, the recent decision by Father Edward Salmon, a priest who oversees a Jesuit High School in Rochester, New York, to permit a male couple to attend their prom signals that there is possibility for a renewal within the Roman Catholic Church, especially since the priest explains his decision in terms of the call to light issued by the newly elected Pope Francis.
Father Edward Salmon, president of McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, was faced with a dilemma: two openly gay teens requested permission to attend their junior prom as a couple and launched an online petition asking for support. The petition apparently attracted a lot of attention and elicited a great deal of heated discussion.
Shortly after the petition went online, Father Salmon sent a long note to the parents of his students saying, "If our two brothers who have asked to attend the Junior Ball wish to do so, they will be welcomed."
Interestingly, Father Salmon justified his decision by reference to Pope Francis. His letter, appropriately for Easter Week, is peppered with allusions to hope and light and love and tenderness and renewal.
He wrote, "Our new Holy Father, Pope Francis, in the homily for his Inaugural Mass, had encouraging and inviting words: 'Today amid so much darkness we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others. To protect creation and to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love, is to open up a horizon of hope, it is to let a ray of light break through heavy clouds.'"
He continued, "Darkness and heavy clouds have gathered here at McQuaid recently because of misinformation, fear, misunderstanding, and even anger. That misinformation, fear, misunderstanding, and even anger came about after two of our brothers asked whether they could attend the Junior Ball together. Into the darkness of misinformation, fear, misunderstanding and anger, together with Pope Francis, I invite and encourage each and every one of us in the McQuaid family to be men and women who bring hope to one another. I invite and encourage each and every one of us in the McQuaid family to be men and women who look upon one another with tenderness and love. I invite and encourage each and every one of us in the McQuaid family to open up a horizon of hope, to let a ray of light break through heavy clouds."
Father Salmon also quoted the 1997 pastoral letter from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops addressed to the parents of gay men and lesbians, entitled "Always Our Children," a document that has been mostly ignored as the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has become ever more strident in opposition to same-sex marriage and to the civil rights of glbtq people.
"I, together with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops . . . call on all Christians and citizens of good will to confront their own fears about homosexuality and to curb the humor and discrimination that offend homosexual persons. We understand that having a homosexual orientation brings with it enough anxiety, pain and issues related to self-acceptance without society bringing additional prejudicial treatment," he wrote.
He added, "the Bishops are clear--'Nothing in the Bible or in Catholic teaching can be used to justify prejudicial or discriminatory attitudes and behaviors.' . . . The teachings of the Church make it clear that the fundamental human rights of homosexual persons must be defended and that all of us must strive to eliminate any forms of injustice, oppression, or violence against them."
He goes on to clarify that in permitting the openly gay students to attend the prom as a couple he is not "contradicting the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church with regard to human sexuality; I am not encouraging nor am I condoning homosexual activity just as I do not encourage or condone heterosexual activity at a dance."
He concludes, "We must not be afraid of goodness, of tenderness.'"
Although Father Salmon's remarkable letter, which may be accessed here does not represent any revision of Catholic doctrine, its tone is altogether different from that so frequently used by the hierarchy of the Church. One can only hope that the new Pope will inspire a renewed commitment to a compassionate embrace of the Catholic social justice tradition.
Stephen Schwartz's composition, like many Passover and Easter narratives, features the voices of individuals in pain, while also envisioning triumph over pain as suffering individuals come to find solace in communion with others. It fully acknowledges the heartbreaking anguish many gay people feel in a homophobic society, but it also joyfully celebrates the rewards of self-acceptance and the happiness that can be found by living life honestly. If you just "hang in" and "hang on" and accept yourself, the song advises, you can experience "the joy of living with authenticity."
Schwartz's beautiful song honestly captures the spirit of Dan Savage's It Gets Better project.
Schwartz, who has written such hit musicals as Godspell (1971), Pippin (1972), and Wicked (2003), collaborated with Savage as he set to music the heartfelt testimony of contributors to the "It Gets Better" project. The result is an extraordinarily moving work that is beautifully performed by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus.
Videographer Sean Chapin has assembled a brief documentary about the making of the "Testimony" video. He presents the testimonies of members of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus about their own journeys and about the experience of performing "Testimony" and how the song speaks to them.
The stories of triumph over adversity in "Testimony" and in the testimonies of the contributors to the "It Gets Better" project and of the members of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus remind us that it does get better when one escapes oppression. The message is especially appropriate for Easter and Passover.

Notre Dame is desperate for a win in the midst of their three game losing streak. Boston College is 2-1, but is a team full of questions. The Irish and Eagles always seem to come down to the end of the game in a tough battle, and that has both coaches nervous.
Notre Dame's Brian Kelly is looking to get his team back on track. BC coach Frank Spaziani is seeking confidence with a team that won closer-than-expected games over Weber State and Kent State and then got shut-out by a Virginia Tech team that lost to James Madison.
The Irish, though, have played the tougher schedule and have been more consistent. Dayne Crist continues to be the starter, while BC is leaning towards a freshman with no experience as the possible starter.
With the Irish struggling so much, many fans are calling for Kelly to be fired (likely trying to justify their love of the overly arrogant Weiss and his poor management abilities). Yet Kelly has stayed strong through it all and is teaching his players strong ethics.
The Irish have more talent and have had to refocus after last week's embarrassment at home to Stanford. BC has no direction right now. The Irish need one victory to begin turning the tide for a possible great season in 2011, and to salvage 2010. They should get it in Boston.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident they still have the confidence and quality to secure a top-four Premier League finish this season and with it a place in the Champions League. Wenger's side were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich in their last-16 game on Wednesday. But Wenger and his players will have taken heart from their 2-0 win in the Allianz Arena, with the Gunners only going out of the competition on away goals after levelling the tie at 3-3 on aggregate. Arsenal have qualified for the Champions League for the last 15 seasons and are desperate to keep that run going. But that requires a consistent run of results in the Premier League, with the first test of whether the positive performance against Bayern can be transferred into league form coming with a difficult trip to Swansea on Saturday. The Gunners will be looking to avenge a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates on 1 December and Wenger is in confident mood going into the game. "We're frustrated to be...

Historic No data are available to characterize historical conditions for this parameter in this subwatershed.
Current As a part of their Stephens Creek Water Quality Monitoring Project, BES sampled Stephens Creek for chromium from December 1996 to June 1997. A total of 28 dissolved chromium samples and 28 total chromium samples were taken at four sites throughout the subwatershed (1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D).
Six total chromium samples each were collected from sites 1D and 2D, while 7 and 9 samples were taken from sites 3D and 4D, respectively. The total chromium concentrations observed at these locations ranged from 1.13 to 15 .8 ug/L, with an average and standard deviation of 3.75 ug/L and 3.27 ug/L, respectively.
Six dissolved chromium samples each were collected from sites 1D and 2D, while 7 and 9 samples were taken from sites 3D and 4D, respectively. Dissolved chromium was not detected in 5 of the 28 samples at a detection level of 1.0 ug/L. The dissolved chromium concentrations observed at the sampling locations ranged from <1.0 to 4.5 ug/L. Setting non-detect concentrations to the detection level, the average dissolved chromium concentration is 1.39 ug/L with a standard deviation of 0.67 ug/L, respectively. Table 17 presents a summary of data and findings.
Assessment The total chromium concentration in one sample exceeded the 11 ug/L chronic criteria for protection of aquatic life (see Table 3). There were no exceedances of the 16 ug/L acute aquatic life criterion or the 50 ug/L water and fish ingestion criteria and drinking water MCL. The sample exceeding the chronic criterion was taken on June 9, 1997 at station 1D and had a total chromium concentration of 15.8 ug/L.
Since only one total chromium concentration exceeding criteria occurred in the 28 samples analyzed and since no recent monitoring data is available, total chromium is not a parameter of concern for this subwatershed. However, since no recent data for this parameter exists, this finding should not be considered conclusive. At a minimum, a data set that includes monthly sampling spanning a twelve month period and including two to three sampling events conducted during wet weather is needed to make a determination about whether or not this parameter is a water quality concern.

The Shark Rider!
WOH! finnaly I have finnished something that I am happy with... you can find the sketch in my sketchbook
Did this in photoshop, If you can't tell, tons of Chuck mate influence here... except chuck is much better at what he does... Hope I didn't borrow too much of your style chuck. I wanna paint more pictures like this, I actually like to paint things more realisitic and oily painting look, but those paintings take a real long time, and right now I don't think I have the skills to do them. This one took a lot less time and was fun to paint and was satisfying to see something finnished, so I will try to do more cartoony pictures.

I love reading the gothic, particularly the southern variety. When I first began reading novels written in this tradition, many of them didn''t seem to have many dimensions.
The library's Government Documents section has a weather page with several links to agencies with information on preparedness for tornadoes and other severe weather. To find these, click the Government Documents link in our Research & Learn tab, and look for the gray Weather tab.
I will easily admit that I am among the great multitude of Downton Abbey fans feeling bereft after the second season's final episode. Everyone has something to say about the series' phenomenal success in the United States. After all, what do Americans want with this story of life in an Edwardian country estate? My answer is what could we NOT love about this romantic drama?
Tulsa hosts a variety of different authors throughout the year, and the library can help you find out when and where they'll be speaking.

Growth in Back-to-School Buying Power Driven by Hispanic Households, New Geoscape Study Reveals—Hispanic Spending Increased 20 Percent More Than the National Average
Geoscape, a provider of business intelligence technology, data and analytics, recently announced the results of an exclusive study exploring the back-to-school buying habits of consumers in the United States, segmented by ethnicity. The study revealed that Hispanic household spending rose by 55 percent between 2003 and 2011, outpacing all other ethnicities by over 20 percent.
The report's other findings show that spending from Asian Americans and African Americans is also rising, while the overall national average has leveled off after 2009. In fact, the National Retail Federation's 2013 Back-to-School study projects a slight decrease in average household spending this year whereas Hispanic back-to-school spending is surging.
Other key findings include:
- Hispanic spending rises highest. The total amount of Hispanic annual back-to-school spending increased by 55 percent between 2003 and 2011. This total outpaces the national increase of 36 percent across all U.S. households.
- Hispanics spending more in higher education. In spending categories around college tuition, Hispanic households are outgrowing Non-Hispanics by a 2:1 margin. Hispanic household expenditures for college tuition grew by 124 percent during this eight year period. Non-Hispanic household expenditures in this category grew by 61 percent.
"The growing value of multicultural consumers in the back-to-school shopping season can only be ignored at the expense of retailers and manufacturers who don't see this powerful trend," said Cesar Melgoza, CEO of Geoscape, in a news release. "As the buying power of emerging ethnicities continues to rise, it's important for businesses to allocate more resources and marketing efforts to serve these increasingly profitable consumers."
The Geoscape Back-to-School Spending Study was developed through Geoscape's analytical engines, which compiled data from the U.S. Census, U.S. Department of Labor and the Geoscape 2013 American Marketscape DataStream report.

E. Honda and being new at Street Fighter IV
So I'm finally getting around to buying SFIV for my PC, and after having played a lot of Street Fighter II in my day, I was wondering how IV is gonna be different.
Yes this thread again. But there's a twist!
E. Honda. I think he's awesome. Is he actually any good in IV? And any tips?
Thanks Giant Bomb Street Fighter IV Community.
A lot of Honda players complain about Honda being shit, but he's probably mid-tier IMO (middle of the road). SFIV is a different game than II, much like III is a different game from either of these. Don't go in thinking it's a replica of SFII and you should be fine.
As for online, be prepared to fight Ken, Ryu and Akuma over and over again.
However seeing as you got it on PC (steam?), I would be willing to add you and play you sometime :D
Awesome, another PC player. Add me up (Gamertag is the same as my username)
As for coming from II to IV, I did the same and, well, I was able to get a grasp of it all quicker than most, I'd say. It'll be a shock when you first jump online, but at least you'll have a better concept of basic strategies with some of the characters.
If you know what to do with Honda, he is a great character. Sure he does have his issues (tough getting through fire ball spammers, tough time against turtles), but he does massive damage. I'm a Honda player myself and I love the fat bastard. My gamer tag is JJOR64. I own the PC version as well so we can play some time.

My best advice is to learn the basics. I "played" SFII when I was younger, but I wasn't good at it and there was no type of scene to speak of. I learned by doing a couple of things:
Go into challenge mode and try out all the characters. If you like Honda, stick with him. Learn his combos and how to apply them.
Watch videos on YouTube. This is an invaluable tool. I learned so much just by watching.
Go to Shoryuken.com and read up on Honda. Very good info there.
I've messed around with all major Charge chacters (except Chun-li and Guile) and I must say E.Hondas game is very basic so good for beginners but it defiantly is up there in terms of over all depth
Basically learn the tick in command throw. and how to anti air with headbutt/ultra and ur good. If you really take some risks pianoing cr.lp xx hp hands --> cr.lp xxx hp hands xx super would be the ultimate goal. Although JJOR cant even do that (at lest I've never seen him do it) so its not 100% game breaking.
Vodun Valkyrie is my gamertag, see you in there
Alright I actually ordered the game from Amazon so I could get the fightpad with it (who knows how that will go) but I'll add all you guys once I get the game.
Thanks for the tips everyone. I'll make sure to watch tons of videos and do the challenge modes, and test out some of the suggested tactics and combos.
I've been maining Honda for awhile and I can give you some info. He's not a bad character, like ultima said he's about midtier. He has generally even matchups but a few really bad matchups. The reason he's worse in sfiv than other sf games is all his specials are slower and more obvious, and his hundred hand slap range is greatly decreased and harder to get out as part of a combo.
If you're going to play on a fightpad (by fightpad I assume you're talking about the regular shaped controller with 6 facebuttons) then I dont recommend using charge characters or characters who require fast mashing to get a special move out. Honda falls under both of these categories and should really only be played on a fight stick. There are some combos you can learn without the stick but you won't be able to do his hundred slap move as part of a combo unless you do something crazy like map one button to light punch and the rest to hard punch lol.
If you decided to get an arcade stick or if you want to be dumb and play honda on a pad then I'll be more than willing to give you some pointers.
He is the one of the characters i always loose too . Its that damn headbutt thing he does . It destroys balrog .

" Gandalf > Balrog Toyota > Honda "This just in, Gandalf is dead. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Balrog's punches cause cancer. Doesn't get cooler than that.
" @turbomonkey138: you can punish mp and hp headbutt with lp dash punch. IF timed correctly a crouching hp will beat honda's buttslam. Also if you sit there jabbing you will beat all of honda's headbutts even ultra lol "What you say is true, but Honda can kind of stuff all of Balrog's attacks as well. So the matchup is usually very slow unless Honda can get his mixup game going early with crossups, HHS, and ochio throw.

Jessie James Decker is getting ready for her baby girl!
The E! reality star celebrated with a lavish baby shower alongside close friends and family members.
"I was overwhelmed by the love and support from my family and friends," the mama-to-be told E! News exclusively.
"It was a magical southern celebration and the perfect way to welcome baby V."
Did you catch that?! That was a major hint at the baby's name! (Jessie later told us that the wee one's middle name will be Rose and that her moniker will be "very southern and traditional."
NEWS: Jessie James flaunts her baby bump in GQ magazine!
Jessie's sister, Sydney, hosted the special event and told us, "It was a darling shower filled with beautiful surprises and touching moments. I love my sister and can't wait to meet my niece."
Jessie looked radiant as ever in a Pucci-esque pink and orange print dress. The short hemline showed off her killer legs and accentuated her adorable baby bump!
The brunette beauty also opened up to E!'s Catt Sadler about how excited she is to see her hubby Eric Decker play at the Super Bowl.
"This is the best time of our lives right now," she shared. "This is what he's been working towards since he was a little boy."
NEWS: Jessie shares a sexy selie—check it out!
So how is the eight-months-pregnant star preparing to arrive to the big game?
"They're chartering a private plane for all the wives, so if something goes down, they're just going to have to land it where it is and I'll have to push [the baby] out there," she joked.
"But [I] can't miss the Super Bowl, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity."
She's certainly got a point!

Admissions Tip: Know Your Audience
Sep 20, 2010 | 0 comments
As Round 1 deadlines approach, applicants are coming to understand that applying to business school is an incredibly demanding process. In addition to taking the GMAT, assembling academic transcripts and providing recommendation letters, candidates are required to draft multiple essays, job descriptions, lists of activities and more.
With the obvious incentive to save time where ever possible, it's understandable that many applicants simply cut and paste content from an existing resume and write about their work in the manner that comes most naturally. However, in doing so, countless candidates each year assemble their materials without ever asking a fundamental question:
Who will read my application?
While the answer to this question may vary from school to school, one thing is certain: it is unlikely that the person reading your file will have an intimate level of familiarity with your specific industry or job function. This being the case, if you use industry-specific jargon or assume prior knowledge of your field on the part of the admissions officer, you undoubtedly will lose your reader.
It's also important to keep the big picture in mind; many applicants become so mired in the details of their own work and role that they fail to provide sufficient context for a company outsider to understand the importance of one's efforts to the department or organization as a whole. The solution is to write about your experiences in a way that the average person will understand. While this is easier said than done, it underlines the importance of sharing your materials with an unbiased advisor (ideally not a work colleague or family member) to make sure that you aren't off-base with some of your assumptions.
To learn more about who will actually read your essays at the various schools, or to inquire about our application editing services, simply contact Clear Admit with your CV/resume and sign up for a free initial assessment.
