Half Term Activities For All The Family
Posted: February 17, 2014|
Quite apart from the benefits to the Cambridge rush hour, half term gives families a break from what is often a hectic routine of school / work / home. This half term, we look at screen free activities that you or your caregiver can enjoy with your children. If you are sharing half term care with your trusted nanny or child carer, make sure that you both enjoy some quality time with your little ones.
From Spring-themed fun to indoors entertainment, here are six fun-packed ideas for everyone.
1. Plan A Screen Free Day
Put away the screens and disconnect from the digital world. 'Phone, TV, laptop – everyone spends time (4 hours or a whole day) without their devices. Instead, your family can cook, garden, play, walk, run instead. If the little ones are missing their online games, play them "for real". Using clip art, cut out some bird shapes and stick straws or lollipop sticks on the back to make Angry Birds and pigs, with Lego bricks as the structures the pigs sit on. And if you haven't yet, talk to your carer about setting daily screen time limits for your children.
2. Enjoy Nature
As an extension of Screen Free Day, spend some time reconnecting with nature. With spring around the corner, now's the time to find some lovely displays of snowdrops or other early flowers. Alternatively, get your children engaged in planting – using pots or your garden – as bulbs planted now will flower within the next few weeks. Alternatively try something new in the garden – plant veggies for using in family recipes, or grow heather and lavender to attract bugs and pollinators later in the Spring.
3. Dust off the BBQ!
Have your first BBQ of the year! Children love a barbeque so don't let the weather get in the way. Wrap up warm and sizzle some sausages and eat them outside.
4. Head To A Museum
Major museums in the UK, including in Cambridge, offer several free activities for children around half term, including the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge, and in London the National Portrait Gallery, British Museum, National Maritime Museum and V & A. Encourage your children to bring notebooks or sketchbooks, and fire their imaginations to write some short stories or doodles inspired by their visit. Whilst admission may be free, don't forget to leave your carer extra kitty money for transport costs, or maybe food, drink and souvenirs.
5. Have A Treasure Hunt At Home
For this activity, encourage everyone to get in the spirit by dressing as pirates or Naval officers. Use spare coppers or sweets as the treasure, create "aged" maps using paper soaked in tea and draw maps, objects, and clues with the children. If the children are different ages, grade the maps according to difficulty and make sure everyone gets some treasure as a reward!
6. Play Indoor Sports
Even if the British weather isn't helping, you and your carer can still encourage your children's sports skills. Use small soft balls for catching practice and larger ones for kicking. Clear any ornaments and encourage the children to play barefoot or try Judy Murray's indoor sports games, such as Indoor River Jumping. In this game, you use a couple of bits of rope to make the river and stick toy sharks in the middle to make it more fun. Then you get the children to jump or hop over the river, and progress to catching something in mid-air as they do so.
Make the most of this half term by working with your carer to map out a week's worth of fun activities for your children. And don't forget some time to just sit and relax too. You've all been working hard -- you need this break – and as the flowers come out along the Backs you might be convinced that Spring really is around the corner!

Manhattan, KS (Sports Network) - Derrick Barden posted a double-double of 16 points and 17 rebounds to propel the Northern Colorado Bears to a 60-58 victory over the Kansas State Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum.
Tate Unruh added 14 points for the Bears (1-0) before fouling out. Tim Husskison chipped in seven points and six rebounds to help Northern Colorado pick up the win.
Wesley Iwundu led KSU (0-1) with 14 points and 10 rebounds. D.J. Johnson added 12 points and nine boards while Shane Southwell dealt out eight assists in the loss.
Despite missing all seven of their three-point attempts in the first half, the Wildcats took a 29-24 lead into the intermission. Northern Colorado fell behind as it was limited to just 30.8 percent shooting from the field over the opening 20 minutes.
The Bears stormed back by hitting on 50 percent of their field goal attempts after halftime. KSU converted only 9-of-27 attempts from the floor including just 2-of-12 from beyond the arc in the second half. After Tevin Svihovec missed a pair of free-throw attempts with nine seconds remaining, KSU missed on a pair of opportunities as Marcus Foster missed a 3-point attempt and Iwundu's jump shot at the buzzer also fell off the mark.
The win improved Northern Colorado to 3-2 versus KSU in history. This was the first meeting between the two schools since the 1937-38 season.

Hello, I am trying to create a monthly fixed expense spread sheet and I am including payroll. Since my wife and I will be the initial employees of the business, do I still factor unemployment into payroll? I am in Utah if that makes a difference. Any suggestions on payroll expenses are welcome. Thank you!

HICKORY, N.C. — Dante Bichette Jr. led the offensive charge as he finished 2 for 4 with two doubles, a walk, two runs scored and four RBIs in the Charleston RiverDogs' 9-5 victory over the Hickory Crawdads in Saturday night's South Atlantic League series opener at L.P. Frans Stadium.
The RiverDogs improved to 15-11 in the second half and 54-40 overall. The Crawdads dropped to 16-12 and 55-43.
Five of the nine RiverDogs in the starting lineup tallied two or more hits. Reymond Nunez went 3 for 4 with three singles, a walk and a run scored.
Charleston starter Vicente Campos pitched his regular four innings and departed due to his innings limit. Campos allowed a run on two hits while striking out six and walking just one. Luis Niebla (4-5) made his first appearance since being demoted to the bullpen and recorded three shutout innings, allowing just two hits while striking out six.
Game 2 of the four-game set against the Crawdads is Sunday at 5 p.m. at L.P. Frans Stadium. Charleston will start RHP Brett Gerritse (6-5, 4.58 ERA) as Hickory counters with LHP Andrew Faulkner (3-2, 3.08 ERA).

hmmmm.......now I have been going to the market periodically for years from the suburbs and I have never, ever had a problem with parking. So the city wants to charge for parking? let's see.....3.50 a gallon of gas, together with a parking fee may now run up to 20.00 to just come down to the market........... and I haven't purchased one piece of fruit or vegetable yet.........
Looks like the grocery store around the corner offers free parking, little gas to get there, and a couple of hours of saved time.................dummies!
levy in cleveland has no chance. people living there believe everyone else living in ohio should pay for it........just like everything else.
1. I follow articles about public education and 99% of them communicate negativity. This article is a breathe of fresh air.
2. I believe the article is about the realities of an inner-city classroom; how dedicated many educators are to their profession while working against enormous odds. Jesus Christ could ask Cleveland voters to pass a levy and it would still lose. So now you think this writer's article is an endorsement to pass a levy ? Ludicrous.............
3. Finally, I think it's great that Mark Naymik had the courage to write something positive about our educators .......especially considering how much we have become an anti-teacher society.
hey living forever.....
those private school teachers chose their job and others choose theirs.......just saying
ok.........best draft scenario for us is......
4th pick - trent richardson
22nd pick- stephen hill
37th pick - brandon weeden
***the only problem with this offseason is the fact we didn't use free agency to help fix other holes like right tackle. so it appears we will be unable to do all we needed to do and it is fair to expect another year of rebuilding and a less than .500 record, though this team will show improvement.
so what.....I think the person posting is saying.....better to be safe than sorry......Just because the woman calling said she did not seen a shotgun doesn't mean she's 100% correct.....not saying the police did not act accordingly....seems they did. the dispatcher needs to be reviewed on how to deal with emergency calls or get someone else who doesn't get irritated with people fearing for their lives and safety of their children.
I have said this a few times already......but anyone who posts that they believe the dispatcher did a good job must be a relative of a friend of hers. in my humble opinion, she was awful. she was rude, impatient and extremely insensitive. her tone with the terrified woman makes me sick to listen to it......
seriously.....you would be fine giving miami the 4th pick to drop back to #8 for the 42nd pick in the draft? Thank God you are not the g.m. for the cleveland browns.
this whole story is sad...just plan sad.....
1. obviously the biggest piece of crap is the man who decided to diplay the outmost cowardly act known to humanity........to kill an innocent human being.
2. how about the rude, impatient and insensitive reponse of the police dispatcher. I don't care what anyone says......her tone with a woman in serious fear and danger was unacceptable. scolding the woman to stop talking to her child is mindboggling......bet the poor child was scared to death. great advice telling the woman to go stand in the doorway so the creep with the shotgun could have open fire.....brilliant! Would it not have been better advice to tell her to corral the kids, get to the kitchen and hide somewhere and let the police take if from there? DISAPPOINTING.........
3. the woman should have told this guy in private at home that she planned to leave him. though his rage was going to take over no matter what, it was a bad idea doing this on their daughter's birthday in public.
1. I am not kidding
2. I said she had nothing to do with the shooting......do you know how to read?
3. The 911 responder did not do a good job! She was rude and insensitive. listen to it again. If you think she did an excellent job, great. In my opinion she was highly irritated with the caller. Oh well, hope she gets the point and is more sensitive to a person who is in a dangerous situation in the future.
sad...very sad. but I must say the 911 woman receiving the call was rude, impatient and extremely insensitive. the woman was obviously scared big time. yet the 911 responder told her to stand in a doorway while her husband may be wielding a shotgun? poor judgement call here......I know the responder had nothing to do with the killing......and I know she must remain calm and ask questions to get as many details as possible, but being impatient and seemingly irritated is NOT calm. many prayers to this poor woman and her two daughters.
proves my point........
though I agree poor teachers should be dismissed from their jobs and replaced.....I worry that veteran teachers will be fired just because they make more money. If it's truly for the kids, then the best teachers should be in front of the classroom regardless of their pay and/or seniority. I am afraid this will not be the case.......frankie Jackson said he now has the tools necessary to improve education. How does this contract do this? The tools he's talking about is firing higher paid teachers, period.
ok........let me enlighten those of you who don't understand what's the main problem with the indians......a problem that has existed since 2000.........it's called ownership. the guy who bought the indians got hosed by the previous owner and now does not have the money it takes to run a major league club.
hilarious how many of you say we don't need T-Rich because we have no weapons so teams will just key on him and shut him down. stupidest stuff I read here.......why?
1. t-rich is a weapon.....he's not a dud
2. if d's key on him doesn't that mean he's a huge weapon?
3. this offense is so short on skill talent that we must start somewhere...and t-rich is a good start.
4. we will have 2-3 more solid picks after t-rich to address the O-line and pluck a pretty damn good receiver to go along with greg little.
why is it that all those people truly believe kalil is the minny pick? is it because the media says so? if he was available at number 4........should the browns select him? Fact is.....kalil is a top ten pick for sure, but maybe not a top 5 pick. people are so influenced by the media it's frightening. the vikes should take blackmon....and then take best OL in the 2nd round. their offense would be scary with blackmon, harvin and the eventual return of peterson.
but wait.....it's all the teachers fault why kids are failing miserably in cleveland schools. you hear it over and over and over from our political leaders from the state (kasich).....and now the city (jackson) First of all, I am not a teacher in Cleveland. All I can say is ....God Bless those people who work there and must put up with a backlash of so much negative b.s. aimed at them day after day. How can all those people be so incompetent, and yet hold degrees which requires a king's ransom to earn by the way, from various universities across the land? If their lack of skill is proven to be the problem......then each and everyone of those teachers should be able to sue the university they got their degrees from and at least get their money back. Lastly, I think gov. kasich and mayor jackson should take the bull by the horns and get their arses in the classrooms in cleveland public schools. Fair is fair.............fact is, sure there are good and bad teachers in this country, as there is in every profession, but the problems in cleveland schools lie much deeper below the surface. until we have leaders with the balls and vision to cite the real problems, then all their band aids and political b.s. will solve NOTHING!
wow....strat baseball. we had a league in the 80s. it is an awesome game. we also had a strat football league as well. both games are fantastic. I got a strat football game for christmas last year. I collect teams. picked up the 64 browns and many others. today's kids aren't into it as much because of all those video games.
YOU ARE RIGHT ON! I know as a hard working taxpayer I am getting sick of flipping the bill for people who do next to nothing. times are tough and so all working class people should toughen up as well. we should 1st start reform by minimizing social welfare programs, period. I am sick and tired of working to the bone to make ends meet......
really.....? How is that true...........fact is both running backs and corners are usually done at 30 yrs. old. once a corner loses a step they are done since they can no longer keep up with the fast receivers. remember hanford?

Tony Bees saved a large hive that had grown underneath a second-floor balcony.
Anthony Planakis and apiarist Larry Stone teamed up to remove 50,000 bees from an Elmhurst apartment.
Anthony Planakis, 52, retired after 20 years corralling hornets and honeybees for the NYPD.
The bee swarm was found outside 267 Waverly Ave. on Friday.
The bees were humanely removed and will be transported to an apiary in upstate New York.
The bees were taken away by the NYPD's resident beekeeper.
Police moved the insects from the West 72nd Street tree.
An NYPD beekeeper vacuumed up the swarm.
Anthony Planakis, the NYPD's resident bee-catcher, estimates there were between 30,000 to 36,000 bees.
The bees flew toward a tree behind the high-end department store's corporate office.
An NYPD bee expert vacuumed up 15,000 bees Saturday, the second swam he'd seen in two weeks.
The NYPD's bee specialist vacuumed the swarm and then sprayed the bees' tree with horse manure smoke.
The NYPD's resident bee expert said the 15,000-bee swarm means more could be on the way.

That the center of attention here is irrational can be seen by being reminded of this argument: If \(\sqrt{3}\) were rational, it could be written as the reduced fraction \[\sqrt{3}=\frac{a}{b}\] for integers \(a\) and \(b.\) Then by squaring both sides, the result is the equation \[a^{2}=3b^{2}.\] Now if \(a\) and \(b\) are each written as their unique product of primes, then the prime \(3\) occurs on the left side of this equation an even number of times, while on the right side, \(3\) occurs an odd number of times. Such a situation violates the Unique Factorization Theorem, so the equation just above is impossible, whence \(\sqrt{3}\) must be irrational.
Note, however, that, to six decimal places, \[\sqrt{3}\approx 1.732051=\frac{1732051}{1000000}.\] This is a reduced fraction since \(1732051\) is a prime. We will now look at three other ways to arrive at fractional approximations that are "equivalent" in that they also have six-place decimal accuracy: first, by use of the classical Greek ladder for \(\sqrt{3};\) second, by examining the convergents of a continued fraction for \(\sqrt{3};\) and, third, by using iterates of Newton's Method.

Four men were arrested for trespassing at a Seattle school building where their organization taught a culturally-based curriculum for African-American students, police said Wednesday. They were released hours later, vowing to continue their work to close what they call a racial achievement gap in education.
Seattle Public Schools (SPS), which owns the off-campus Horace Mann building, said that it wanted to renovate the facility and called the police because some members of the organization had refused to leave.
The four who were arrested are part of an organization called Africatown, part of a nationwide community development initiative. In Seattle, Africatown says it aims to transform the historically black Central District into a vibrant cultural center. The group says its aim with respect to Horace Mann, which is located in the Central District, was to provide quality education that addresses the history and culture of African-American students who are in public schools.

A man who was the first person to be convicted in Illinois under the state's new tough human trafficking laws is facing similar charges in Cook County for the same offense.
The state's attorney's office says 20-year-old Myrelle Locket is held without bond. He and his twin brother, Tyrelle, were each sentenced to four years in prison in 2011 for trafficking two teenage girls and pocketing the proceeds.
Contact information ( * required )
Prosecutors said Wednesday that Myrelle Lockett was charged in the most recent case after he met an 18-year-old Minnesota woman online, traveled there and forced her to return to Chicago.
The woman escaped from a home on the city's South Side and called 911.
It was not immediately clear if Locket had an attorney or had been assigned a public defender.

Best Local Girl Gone Bad St. Louis 2006 - Deanna Vinson
A multimillion-dollar mortgage business, a lover in the hoosegow, a newfound passion for firearms and one messy divorce: Deanna Vinson's life lately reads like an Elmore Leonard novel. As founding partners of American Equity Mortgage, Deanna and her then-husband, Ray, amassed a fortune complete with luxury homes and his-and-hers private jets. But there was trouble in paradise. After suing for divorce, Deanna hired local private dick Joe Adams, paying him $21,000 a week as a bodyguard; it wasn't long before Adams was doing a whole lot more to Deanna's body than simply guarding it. In the end a St. Louis County judge awarded Ray 37.5 percent of the marital estate, plus the family spaniel, Bogey. Deanna got control of the mortgage company and 62.5 percent of the couple's assets. Hey, just because you've gone bad doesn't mean you end up doing bad.

By Alison Robertson, Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology
This weekend, Dr Tamra Jackson-Ziems at University of Nebraska-Lincoln reported that Goss's wilt had been spotted in multiple cornfields in three counties in south central and eastern Nebraska. She suspects that infection may have occurred as a result of plant wounding due to severe storms earlier in the growing season. The infected corn plants were at the V6 growth stage and had characteristic lesions of Goss's wilt. A few plants were systemically infected.
Goss's wilt was found on a few plants in a field Calhoun County on Monday, June 11 (Figure 1). The field had been planted to a very susceptible hybrid in 2011, had severe Goss's wilt and surface residue waspresent. Strong winds that have occurred in the area likely caused damage to the leaves and enabled infection.
Figure 1. Typical Goss's leaf blight symptoms on corn in Calhoun County on June 11, 2012. Photo courtesy of E. Lerdal, District Sales Manager, Asgrow/DEKALB.
The Goss's wilt bacterium, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp nebraskensis (CMN), survives well in infested surface residue. Infection is usually associated with severe weather events that injure the corn leaves and thereby enable entry of the bacterium into leaf tissues. In the greenhouse, we typically see symptoms on corn seedlings 10 to 21 days after inoculation with CMN.
If you are scouting for Goss's wilt, focus your attention on fields that are:
The most characteristic symptoms of Goss's wilt are "freckles" (Figure 2) within large reddish-brown lesions that usually occur along the edge of the leaves. Bacterial ooze may also occur on the lesion, giving it a wet or greasy appearance. When the ooze dries, it leaves a shiny residue on the surface of the lesion.
Figure 2. Freckles, which are small, dark green to black spots that usually occur in the edge of Goss's leaf blight lesions, are distinct to this disease. Bacterial ooze may also be seen.
Planting a tolerant hybrid is the most effective way to manage Goss's wilt.
There are several foliar products being marketed for Goss's wilt management. Unfortunately there are no field data available on their efficacy. Preliminary trials in the greenhouse on V3 corn seedlings indicated some products might slow disease development. Because greenhouse conditions are very different from field conditions, further evaluations in field situations are needed.
This growing season, we have field trials to evaluate foliar products at three locations in Iowa. On-farm trials in collaboration with ISU-FARM also are being done in northwest Iowa. Furthermore, participants at the Crop Management Clinic and Corn Disease workshops, which will be held in July and August, respectively, at the ISU Extension and Outreach Field and Education Laboratory (FEEL) near Boone, will evaluate foliar products in CMN-inoculated trials.
ISU Extension and Outreach field agronomist Joel De Jong from northwest Iowa reported seeing Holcus leaf spot in corn. Characteristic symptoms of this disease are round (~1/4 inch diameter), pale yellow to white spots with a water-soaked halo. On some hybrids, the spot may have a purple or brown margin.
Carl Bradley from University of Illinois and Kiersten Wise form Purdue University also reported Holcus leaf spot in their recent newsletters (The Bulletin and Pest and Crop, respectively).
Holcus is another disease of corn caused by a bacterium, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. Infection of leaves occurs through wounds or stomates. Holcus rarely gets severe enough to impact yield.

Strange to say, but I'm going to miss the Regurgitator. The unknown comic (well, some of us know who he is, and a few of my fellow newsroom inmates thought it was me) who took jabs from his blogspot Web site at city and county institutions, including the Register, said he's hanging it up because, well, it doesn't seem as though anyone's listening -- or worse, enjoying the fact they get mentioned at all.
It's the old "I don't care what you print about me as long as you spell my name right" thing.
Time was, those who needed the spotlight lived or died on a favorable mention from some news or entertainment authority -- and if you ended up in a Johnny Carson monologue, it was all over.
But that depended on people knowing instinctively that some things are wrong, and satire was one way of reminding people where the line was.
When no one's ashamed of anything, the court jester's barbs lose their sting.
The Palin picture
Speaking of court jesters, I've been interested to see how the editorial cartooning fraternity -- and it is, with few exceptions, mostly guys at the drawing table -- handled the topic of Sarah Palin.
Women in politics should have long ago ceased to be a novelty -- it's 2008, for crying out loud -- but it was instructive, if not surprising, to see how the clown princes of the nation's newsrooms dealt with an attractive female in politics.
The first week or so was predictable; one got the impression some of the inkslingers required cold showers after completing a Palin picture. It's getting better, now that Palin's had a chance to open her mouth without McCain's handlers present and we can deal with what's in her brain.
One of the cartooning organizations on which I used to waste my money still bemoans the diminishing stature of the editorial cartoonist in the nation's newspapers. The first week of Sarah-palooza doesn't help our game when we go to our editors and give the usual speech about how the editorial cartoonist adds to the voice and personality of the local newspaper, offering a different dimension to readers' understanding of local issues and yadda yadda yadda.
I went looking for some Alaska perspectives and found Roger Maynard, who's gotten used to dealing with Palin as a politician and not a personality, in the Ketchikan Daily News. He pretty much draws about Alaska things for an Alaska audience, but take a look at his Web site for a different angle than we get in most of the Lower 48.
Poll position
Despite all five people in last week's Word on the Street preferring Obama, that John McCain could easily be president of our Web site. He had, as of late Saturday, 54 percent of the vote; Obama's not even close.
A couple readers called to our attention this discrepancy; all I'm going to say about that is that if you approach different groups of people, you get different answers. I admit I was hoping for some interesting observations from McCain backers, but I tell the person who handles the interviews for me to get the first five and stop, to avoid the appearance of looking for answers we like. There are a few places around here where we're likely to get a variety of answers -- and where they'll let us poll -- so we'll mix it up some.
One more thing: A loyal reader who hopes we can do better e-mailed us midweek to tell us Ron Paul's not on the ballot and has no business being part of last week's online results. Should've been Bob Barr's name there. My fault.
But I didn't change the poll midweek because people had already been voting and you shouldn't change the rules in mid-game. Make of it what you will that Paul still got 86 votes.

Developed by Professor Halvard Odergard at Trondheim University of
Science and Technology the Kaldnes Moving Bed™ bio film process has been
designed specifically to create the most effective environment for the
nitrification process to take place.
The media is engineered in a wheel shape and is slightly positively
buoyant, allowing a small amount of water flow (created by adding air to the
process) to circulate the media throughout the vessel.
Size Difference Between K-1 & K-3
As the Kaldnes
media chaotically circulates within the bio tank, it causes old dead
bacteria/bio film on the outside, to be removed making space for new younger
heavier feeding bacteria/bio films to colonize.
It also assists in the breakdown of any small particles passing
through from the mechanical stage. Therefore, the Kaldnes media
maintains both a young bio film and a maturing bio film providing a more
consistent filter performance, whilst improving water quality,
encouraging healthier Koi and aiding in reducing green water and blanket
Due to chaotic movement of the Kaldnes K1 media, the process is
self-cleaning and requires no maintenance. This allows the filter to
reach optimum effectiveness without the disturbance of periodic
maintenance, avoiding unnecessary loss of bacteria within the filter
preventing high levels of ammonia and nitrite within the water.
Here for K-1 & K-3 Technical Info
50 Liter (Approximately 17 lbs.)
Note: The 25 Liter
size fits into approximately a 12" x 12" x 12" box,
so this should give an idea on how much media there is in this
size; and of course double it for the 50 Liter size.
K-1 Media = .430" diameter x .285" thick
K-3 Media = .985" diameter x .402" thick

To study possible biochemical effects of organochlorine contaminants (OCs) in glaucous gulls (Larus hyperboreus), 40 adult individuals were collected from colonies on Bjørnøya in the Barents Sea. OCs (four pesticides and nine PCB congeners), microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity, microsomal testosterone hydroxylation, highly carboxylated porphyrins (HCPs), retinol, and retinyl palmitate were quantified in liver samples. The hepatic vitamin A stores in glaucous gulls were larger than in herring gulls (Larus argentatus) from other studies conducted in contaminated locations in North America. No significant relationships were found between liver retinoid concentrations and OC levels. The hepatic EROD activity was low compared to other studies on fish-eating birds and only marginally associated with PCB levels. Microsomal testosterone hydroxylase activity was only observed at the 6β-position and could not be related to OC levels. The low P450-associated enzyme activities in the glaucous gull suggests that they have a low capacity for metabolizing OCs, which may contribute to the high accumulation of OCs in this species. HCPs were only elevated (138 pmol g−1) in the sample with highest OC levels, whereas the remaining samples contained low levels of HCPs (<30 pmol g−1). The weak association between EROD activity and PCB levels and the low level of HCPs suggest that these biochemical parameters were unaffected by OCs in most of the sampled gulls. Thus, the glaucous gull seems not to be particularly sensitive toward Ah-receptor mediated effects.

I am planning to do vertoroma using Tripod and that is when i came to know about Nodal Ninja. I want to use 14-24mm lens and shoot the scene in Landscape mode. Can i shoot landscape mode using NN4?
I am planning to do vertoroma using Tripod and that is when i came to know about Nodal Ninja. I want to use 14-24mm lens and shoot the scene in Landscape mode. Can i shoot landscape mode using NN4?
Hi and welcome to the forum.
To cut it short, 14-24mm lens is tricky lens and asks a long upper rail to set NPP for zoom @14 mm etc. What camera are you using? To set the combination to entrance pupil of the lens = NPP , it does not matter the mode you are using. Portrait mode or landscape mode.
I am afraid NN4 does not do your job because the upper rail is shorter than the one of NN5 / M1-L. Zoom 14 at D3 asks a URS = upper rail setting of 122mm. This is not available on NN4.
Two choices: go for M1-L, or for discontinued irregular NN5 that will do your job. I have tested it on M1-L and NN5 with different Nikon Bodies. In case your local reseller does not sell NN5 irregular, ask me and I will try to arrange to find a reseller for you. Be sure you have to pay in advance.
Feel free to ask,

HI Heinz,
Thank you for the reply. So i will get the M1-L
1. Since i have manfrotto ball head 498cr4 do i still need to get the rotator?
2. Do i need to get a L-bracket i am to shoot in landscape mode?
Yes you need a rotator to get a precise click stop for your shots around. Be aware that you get the latest model of it: RD16 II.
In case you shoot in landscape, you have to use an arca style L-Bracket: Kirk or RRS
But wait a moment, I have to try it for you.
@Vincen: do you know LRS D800 on M1-L? What will be the distance from tripod mount socket to the side of the camera? Will he succeed with MFR 170 or does he need 2x MFR210MM? Of cause he has to use the set up to the left hand side of the camera body in landscape mode. Do you already have URS settings for 14-24 as well?
I would get rid of the ball head and replace it with EZ-Leveller II.
Last edited by hindenhaag; 10-01-2012 at 04:07 AM.
Ok then, let's go.
Your question about the L-bracket is a bit tricky. To be able to give you some basic advice, I simulated the L-bracket with D300s for you. The lens axis position for NPP will change on lower rail when you go from portrait mode to landscape mode. Normally we use a set up with vertical rail on the right hand side with camera grip on top - release button. When you use an L-bracket, camera connection changes to the opposite side, to the left in landscape mode. This needs a change of the normal set up. In place of using the vertical rail on the right hand side, you have to change it to the left. Also the lower rail has to be changed to left hand side. The bubble level on the lower rail has to be place to show to the right instead of showing to the left from viewpoint position. Now this is point one.
Point two: Normally M1-L comes with two different lengths of rails: MFR170 = 170mm long, and MFR210 = 210mm long. You can use both of them as upper or lower rail.
You need MFR210 as upper rail for 14-24mm lens. So in this case the MFR 170 has to be used as lower rail.
Point three: There are two different versions of the set up of the vertical rail and upper rotator using a Nadir Adapter or not. In case you like to do Nadir shots with Nadir Adapter, you might need a longer rail.
I've added both vertical rail set ups to the M1-L. In this case I used MFR210 for both situations. The MFR170 has an end mark of 165mm. Now have a look to the clamp center mark for lower rail. 165mm without Nadir Adapter will catch 2/3 of the lower rail to clamp to. With Nadir Adapter 165mm will end up near the middle of the clamp. This is a No Go!. So for your order there are two choices: order the normal set up with MFR170 - in case you want to use other lenses - and MFR210 and order an extra MFR210, or order MFR210 twice.
First pic is L-Bracket set up, second normal set up. Third pic shows the horizontal position of lower rail MFR210 with Nadir Adapter - in front - and without behind it. Check 165mm mark inside the clamps center mark. Then you see what I am talking about.
I had a look to your ball head. This is a mid range one. But anyway. There is a lot of weight and torque with M1-L, D800 and 14-24mm, specially in landscape mode. I use this lens with D3 and D700. It is best to keep as less parts as possible between rotator and tripod. Center column should be down. The ball head will raise the whole equipment. You will be surprised what might happen once you open up a ball head without special soft release of the ball: the whole equipment may bump down. Plus it is not easy to level the M1-L holding one hand to the ball head and one to the whole equipment trying to level and fix the position.
Another question is the quick release plate of manfrotto which is not arca style. I suppose you are using a manfrotto tripod. So just get an extra center column to use it with EZ-Leveller II and M1-L, and the ball head for your normal use. But how do you use the L-Bracket on your Manfrotto Ball Head? Have a look to your ball head if it is possible to change the manfrotto plate system to an arca style clamp on top with lever release:
Then you can use your L-Bracket either on Ball head or on M1-L. Because this is arca style.
Feel free to ask,

The difference between portrait mode set up of M1-L with L-bracket and Landscape mode:
Lost the wrong pics name of "NN4", it is M1-l shown in the pics.
Think this helps a little bit.
Why do you need a rotator in place of a ball head? Using the ball head to turn around to get your shots around there is no fixed "click stop". So you are not sure to be in exact place to get an overlap of minimum 25% to be able to stitch the pics with enough overlap to get control points in space of the overlap in both pics that are needed to get a good stitch.

If he didn't, then it makes you wonder what the whole Hope and Change theme during then-Sen. Obama's first campaign for the White House was about.
Hope for changing the mystery meat served at lunch and have Top 40 music played during study hall?
Oops! Wrong Obama campaign. That was probably for his campaign as student council president in high school.
Did Candidate Obama believe, when he was running for president of the U.S.A., the mess he was going to clean up in the White House would be the issues of Vacation Guide magazines President Bush left under the bed?
Or did Candidate Obama believe, when he was running for president of the U.S.A., that the mess he was going to clean up in the White House would be the issues that President Bush left on the table?
Contrary to popular belief, past U.S. presidents did not inherit wooden teeth, theater tickets, a big stick, two chickens in every pot and Tippecanoe and Tyler too from their predecessors. Most of them inherited and handled down the matters that mattered back then.
Because of campaign promises getting lost in the shuffle of what is and what is not, perhaps now is the time for Congress to pass a measure commissioning the Congressional Research Service to keep track of presidential campaign promises and how those commitments actually changed inherited policy, as promised, that was in place when the promising president first took office.
The CRS could create a website showcasing a box score displaying how presidential candidates promises rank in being kept. That could change the meaning of rank promises by presidential candidates.
The averages would indicate how hard a president is working on his promise to change what they believed needed changing.
A scorecard of this nature complied by the CRS on the World Wide Web would not only give incentive for a president to keep their promises, it would also encourage voters that future presidential candidates when elected into the White House can indeed change what they inherit.
The funny thing is, unless you're the next president, in 2016 we will vote into the Oval Office someone who promised to fix what they inherited from President Obama that he inherited.
Fortunately for past U.S. presidents the "You break it — you buy it" policy doesn't apply to them or they would be spending their entire post presidency charging gargantuan speaking fees to pay back the taxpayers instead of using those fees to pay themselves.
Unfortunately for U.S. presidents that inherit the office they campaign to bring hope and change to is the price they pay. Right now, President Obama is just a tad behind on his inherited Bush payback payment promises.
Pick a card, any card. The Immigration card, the Iraq card, the National Debt card, the etc., etc., etc., cards and the overdue payments have added up so much so that the children of legal U.S. citizens' children will inherit — and pay the inheritance tax.
As the saying goes, you can't tell the players without a scorecard. But if the CRS issued a presidential promise scorecard, the player would not be able to tell us the score because ...
We would already know it.

- Reddit harnesses the power of the recency logarithm in its ranking algorithm.
- Reddit weighs the first ten upvotes equally to the next 90 upvotes.
- Reddit values Recency above all else.
The logarithm in the Reddit algorithm favors early pick up. Getting 10 upvotes is no easy task. Getting the next 90 is as hard. It's the same math used to express the strength of earthquakes.
Reddit's bias/variance towards recency has a cost.
High frequency/low recency power users are prone to scream 'repost' on a four hour old article. Casual redditors, who are slowpokes, are more likely to be annoyed with power users, who cause high downvote pressure on older content. ("Why the hate? This New York Times article from last week is new to me!")
This forms a major cleavage between occasional visitors, infrequent contributors, serial readers, and moderators. In fact, the most frequent users are the people who are downvoting you on reddit.

Bob Paisley told Ian Rush before the 1982 Merseyside derby that he would score a hat-trick against Everton at Goodison - but the striker went one further and scored four instead.
The club's all-time leading goalscorer reveals this anecdote and a host of other unique tales in his brand-new book, 'Ian Rush: My Scrapbook'.
Featuring running commentary from the man himself, the new book is packed full of classic photos and interesting artefacts from Rush's glittering career.
Shirts worn and swapped with the game's greats are included, as are the hat-trick balls Rush has collected, and the boots he has scored his famous goals in.
His father Francis first started a modest scrapbook comprising local newspaper cuttings of his son's footballing achievements in the early 1970s - and little did he realise what it would lead to.
Rush went on to become one of the world's greatest strikers and his amazing 346-goal tally for Liverpool will arguably never be surpassed.
Now, Rush has unearthed his father's original scrapbook and dusted down his many other prized personal treasures, many of which are being revealed for the first time.
And Liverpoolfc.com are happy to be able to bring you two exclusive chapters from Rush's news book. Starting with his iconic four-goal haul at the home of the Blues...
Hat-trick balls
"I've relived the goals from the famous derby of 1982 when we beat Everton 5-0 at Goodison Park- and this is the ball from that game," explains Rushie.
"Bob Paisley actually said to me before the game that I was going to score a hat-trick, which was something, coming from the great man himself.
"I got the ball to keep after the match, but a lot of the signatures have wiped-off over the years.
"On the Monday after the game I asked Kevin Ratcliffe, who wasn't playing that night, could he go into training and get the Everton players to sign the ball for me.
I'm not going to say in this scrapbook what he actually said back to me, but he reluctantly took it into training and got them to sign it.
"What he didn't tell them, until after they'd signed it was what the ball was and who they were signing it for! He said if they'd have known they wouldn't have signed it.
"It was a great feeling scoring four goals against Everton.
"It was a dream come true, especially as I used to support them, and something that I'll always remember because Liverpool fans love to remind me of that game."
1984 European Golden Boot
"I was the first British player to win the European Golden Boot," continues Rush. "In other countries, like Holland, someone would come through and score 40 or 50 goals.
"I always remember Franz Beckenbauer saying no-one will win the Golden Boot playing in England or Germany because it is too competitive and the league is too hard.
"I scored 32 league goals and it is the league goals that count. Second was Marco van Basten and Nico Claesen, who later came to Tottenham.
"I was very lucky in a way because Van Basten scored something like 30 and he'd been injured for half the season in Holland. It was the year we did the treble and I think I most probably came of age.
"I was presented with the award in Paris and it has pride of place in my trophy collection because to win the Golden Boot is incredible.
"I say I scored 50 goals that year because I got 32 league goals, 16 in the cups and three in the Screen Sport Super Cup. I then got the penalty in the European Cup final so people say I got 49, but I say 50.
"This is a favourite accolade because to score 32 league goals in a season is no mean feat."

The process of painting at times seems to have consumed my life. Sometimes I find it difficult to step away from it and have some balance in my life. But, I have also found from life experiences that it is a necessary thing to do. For the average person it is hard for them to understand the euphoria and the connection to creating that an artist has. It's not about the painting, it's all about the process. Its a fabric of my being.When I am painting, and it's going well, it is as if my soul is filled and I am whole. I have never found anything like painting that gives me the same feeling. It feels as though I am invincible, powerful and filled with self confidence. Painting on location outdoors, I feel like I become a part of my surroundings. I relish the quiet, the colors, the smells, and all the nuances around me. I know that I am experiencing a world that no one sees or comprehends in the same way that I do.It is such a powerful and beautiful world that I want to share with you. I hope that you come away with some understanding and glimpse into my vision of the world and that it touches you with an emotional response.

Commons ended his international career in May to focus on his family life and his club football with Celtic.
Scotland boss Gordon Strachan has kept the door open for the 30-year-old and Commons is not ruling out making a dramatic U-turn to play for the national team again
"I never left on bad terms. If there was an opportunity to return in the near future where I felt I could offer something to Scotland I'd certainly think about it," said Commons
"I always keep an eye on the results and who's playing, I always wish our boys the best. But at this moment in time I'm just concentrating being the best I can be for Celtic.
"A lot of people do have second thoughts, and I think when I am playing the way I am I think I could offer something.
"I'm 30-years-old now and I think that the little time that I do get to spend with my family, and go away on holiday and stuff like that, it's benefited me more and I am putting in better performances week in, week out for Celtic."

The Linux Foundation's summary aside, however, there were plenty of openvsource achievements in other areas that are worth noting before the outgoing years passes us by. Without a doubt, the progress Linux vendors made integrating open source solutions into platforms such as automotive computers, Android-based mobile devices and Chromebooks, all of which the Linux Foundation highlighted, (IT news)

Barack Obama turns 49 today. He will celebrate by giving a speech to the AFL-CIO, doing his job as president of the United States, and later, celebrating his b-day with the fellas, since Mrs. Obama and the kids are out of town (and one daughter is at camp.) From the sane part of the country, we wish you a very happy birthday, Mr. President. Your late mother would be very proud of you. Lots of Obama pics after the jump.

The Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure
Approximately 23 percent of all Americans have hypertension, more commonly known as high blood pressure. Without proper treatment, hypertension can lead to hardening of the arteries, heart attack, and stroke. Unfortunately, the conventional medicines used to treat this condition come with potentially dangerous side effects. When Dr. Jay Cohen—physician, medical researcher, and professor of medicine—learned of his own hypertension, he was well aware of the risks associated with the standard treatments. Based upon his research, he selected a safer drug-free option—magnesium. The Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure is a direct result of Dr. Cohen's experience. It is a concise easy-to-understand guide that explains what hypertension is, what magnesium is, and the key role magnesium plays in preventing and treating this condition. The book carefully describes the most effective types of magnesium for treating hypertension; how magnesium interacts with diuretics and blood pressure drugs; and how much magnesium to take. It also details how to use magnesium in conjunction with hypertension meds. All of the information is backed by relevant scientific studies and interviews with leading experts in the field. For those who are looking for a safe, effective, natural approach to the treatment of high blood pressure, Dr. Cohen prescribes a proven natural remedy in The Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure.

Introducing features of the course website
This section introduces you to the features of the course website, which you can access from the course homepage.
The Course content area
The 'Course content' area is the most important area of the course homepage as this is where you will find all the materials and activities that make up the online elements of your course. Remember you can get to this page at any time by clicking the shortened version of the course title in the navigation bar.
The picture below is an example of a 'Course content' area. The items in the top section, which in this example include the News forum and Common room, are generic items that will be used throughout the course. The other sections are divided into the units or sessions you will study during the course and include links to the course resources and related activities.
On the left side of your screen, you will see a number of 'blocks'. These provide essential tools, resources and other information you will use to help you study online. When you first log in the blocks may be collapsed. Click on the '+' button on the right side of each block to open it. You can close any open blocks by clicking on the '-' button.
Your course will contain some or all of the following blocks.
The 'People' block
The 'People' block provides information about all the people on your course. If you wish to view the profile of your tutor or other students on your course, click on the 'Participants' link and then click on the name of the person whose profile you wish to view.
Some classes will be divided into smaller groups for group activities. If your course has groups, you can see who is in each group by selecting the name of the group from the 'Separate/Visible groups:' drop-down menu at the top of the screen. (Note: We recommend that after you have checked the participants of groups you select 'All participants' from the drop-down menu to display the full list of course participants.)
The 'Calendar' block
The 'Calendar' block will be set up to include important information about your course, such as your assignment deadline and any scheduled activities. The calendar may also be used to give you suggested dates for starting and finishing course materials.
You can move between months on the calendar using the arrows either side of the month displayed. You will see that there are four types of event listed in the calendar: Global, Course, Group, and User. Global, Course and Group events will be set by your course administrator; User events are items you add to the calendar yourself. (Note that only you can see any events you add to the calendar.) To display details of an event in the calendar, hold your cursor over the date. A box providing further information about the event will pop up and you can click on the link in the pop-up for further information. The calendar works closely with the 'Upcoming events' block.
The 'Recent activity' block
The 'Recent activity' block displays a list of recent activity within the course, together with links to the item changed and a full report of recent activity. The number and nature of the items displayed will depend on the amount and type of activities included in the course. You may find this block particularly useful to see if any new postings have been made to your course discussion forums since the last time you logged in.
The 'Activities' block
The 'Activities' block lists the different activities available in your course. Clicking on the link to the right of an activity icon will display a list of all available activities of that type. The icons for the different activities are used throughout the course. For example, you will notice that the Course content area illustrated above includes the icon for Forums:.
The most commonly used activities are 'Forums', and 'Resources'. Forums are used for class and group discussions, and resources are usually documents or sets of web pages. Discussion forums are a central part of an online course, and as such they will be explained in more detail in the 'Discussion forums' section.
The 'Blog menu' block
Your blog is a place where you can write notes and record your thoughts on topics as you work through the course. The 'Blog menu' block provides access to your blog and enables you to set the preferences. Further information about blogs is provided in 'Blogs' section.
The 'Upcoming events' block
The 'Upcoming events' block displays a list of future events drawn from the course calendar, together with links to create a new event in, and view, the calendar.
The 'Search forums' block
The 'Search forums' block can be used to search for text in the discussion forums of your course. To use the search, simply enter the text you are looking for in the box and then click the 'Go' button. For a more specific search, click on 'Advanced search'. This will display a form with more options, enabling you to carry out more detailed searches. For help on search options, click . Please note that the search facility only searches the discussion forums and not the course resources.
The 'Administration' block
The 'Administration' block provides content-specific functionality and the options available to you from this block will change depending on your location in the course. Use this block to access your profile settings.
The 'Navigation' block
The 'Navigation' block provides an alternative way of navigating to parts of your course website and to other courses that you are enrolled on. Some features you may find useful are the 'My home' link, which provides a summary page listing key details of all the courses you are enrolled on, and the 'My profile' link which provides further links to access your profile as well as contributions, such as forum posts, that you have made.
Access to subscription-based resources
Some courses provide students with access to subscription-based online resources. For example, many of the Department's online short courses provide students with access to online resources from Oxford University Press. Access to subscription-based resources is often provided via a block on the course homepage. If you are studying a short course with access to Oxford Reference Online, you must access the resources either via the link in the 'Oxford Reference Online' block on your course homepage or via a link in your course materials otherwise you will not be able to view the subscription-based resources.
Collapsing and docking blocks
To make more room on your screen, you may choose to 'collapse' or 'dock' individual blocks. Collapsing a block hides the content leaving just the block heading displaying and docking a block moves it to the far left-hand side of the screen (see the diagram below where the 'Administration' and 'Navigation' blocks have been docked).
To collapse a given block click on the button on the right side of the block to close it. You can re-open any collapsed block by clicking on the button.
To dock blocks click on the icon. To view the content of a docked block hold your curser over it in the side menu and the content will be displayed.
If you wish to restore a block that has been docked to the main screen hold your curser on it and then click on the icon.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Lanville Athenee Foz de Iguacu
Pleasant enough hotel, but unfortunately has no English speaking staff so it was difficult getting answers to queries. Wifi only worked in the reception area, despite being advertised as 'in all areas'. Breakfast was appalling - unless you enjoy five varieties of cake for breakfast. Geared mostly for Brazilians. My most disappointing hotel during this South America holiday.

India is the top global destination for medical tourism, according to a new market research report. A study on the Indian Healthcare sector, conducted by RNCOS, has revealed the country's medical tourism market to be worth over $310 million, expected to rise to $2 billion by 2012. Medical infrastructure and technology in India are accepted to be on a par with the UK and the US and the efficient services and affordable hospital expenses make it an attractive choice for patients seeking treatment abroad. Figures show that 120,000 overseas patients travelled to India in 2005 to receive private medical treatment and this is expected to rise by 30 per cent. The most common treatments that visitors seek are heart surgery, knee surgery, cosmetic surgery and dental care, procedures which patients may not be eligible for under the NHS system and which generally have long waiting lists in the UK.
RNCOS concluded: "The healthcare industry overview shows that the medical infrastructure and technology in [India] is in par with those in USA, UK and Europe. "India can vie with some of its best hospitals and treatment centres in the world and therefore make it a favourable destination."

Recipe by ELB23
"This soup has a great blend of beef, vegetables and tomato broth that will fill any eater's stomach to the brim."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
ground beef
4 (10.75 ounce) cans
condensed tomato soup
2 1/2 cups
1 1/8 cups
water, or as needed
white potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 small head
cabbage, cored and sliced
carrots, sliced
1 small
onion, chopped
This soup was definitely worth making. I only used about 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck (all I had). I used the milk called for and added another cup of milk and about 1-2 cups of water. The texture was very smooth and creamy. I also added a couple teaspoons of dried dill. Not sure why you "slice" the potatoes but if I make again I would cut into cubes. When the soup was done I ended up "breaking" up the potatoes with my wooden spoon. Be careful during the first 30 minutes of cooking (higher heat). It will boil over and make a mess. But, delicious soup. Made it last night and this morning my boyfriend commented again how good it was. Served it with a salad. Also, we had lots of left overs which will probably be even better when re-heated.
something was missing. No seasonings at all. No salt. I thought too bland.
16 Ratings
very good and I don't like tomato soup
I added a LOT more liquid to this recipe, in the form of a large can of tomato sauce and another can of water, because that's what I had on hand. Otherwise, it would have been more like a casserole. The soup was good-- a bit on the mild side, which is the way my kids like it. This is a good way to sneak some cabbage into people who say they hate cabbage. :-D
I cooked this at my annual Oktoberfest Dinner to rave reviews from my guest thought I had some secret from Germany, thank you!!!
Cut the recipe down to two servings and chose to leave out the meat. Added some seasonings and it was delicious and very filling. Thank you!
This was delicious! I will be making again!
My rating reflects making this slightly modified as follows: no tomato soup or water - instead adding: large can of crushed tomatoes, small can of tomato sauce, ~2 cups of beef broth & some paprika.

3G Rumor: iPhone 3G to Hit AT&T June 19th?
Adding further fuel to the fire that Apple Inc. will drop the 3G bomb on June 9th, during CEO Steve Jobs' Keynote address, InfoSyncWorld is claiming that, once announced, the 2nd generation iPhone will be made available via AT&T roughly 10 days later, on approximately the 18th or 19th.
InfoSyncWorld further speculates on HSDPA, GPS, Mobile TV, and other oft-cited iPhone 3G rumors.
And with the time left before WWDC growing shorter and shorter, when it comes to speculation and rumors, no doubt we ain't seen nothing yet!

Nerds and people with good taste in television, listen up! Dirk Benedict and Katee Sackhoff, each of whom played Lt. Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica in 1978 and 2004, respectively, were photographed together at an actual Starbucks! Starbuck and Starbuck at Starbucks! With cigars! And their characters liked cigars!
Sure, this will only appeal to about thirteen people who can appreciate a once-in-a-lifetime science fiction series that parallels alien invasion with global terrorism and political dynasties, but that is okay, because this is frakkin' ridiculous.

HHS beats Morgantown, 8-5
HUNTINGTON -- Morgantown had scored four runs in the fifth inning and had the tying run at second. Huntington High baseball coach Danny Harbert elected to pull starter Kris Vancamp and summon Isaiah Settle from the bullpen. The message: get this batter out.
Settle did, inducing Alex Weidman to ground out to second to end the rally and keep the Highlanders on top, 5-4. They started the inning with a 5-0 lead.
Huntington High then pushed across three runs in the bottom of the fifth to secure an 8-5 victory in the championship game in the Jack Cook Wooden Bat Classic on a windy Saturday afternoon at Cook-Holbrook Field.
"Keep the ball down and throw strikes," Settle said. "I got the job done. It felt good."
Huntington St. Joe topped Cross Lanes Christian, 12-2, in the consolation game.
The Huntington Highlanders (15-6) struck for four runs in the fourth to open the 5-0 lead. Ronnie Musick, following a bunt by Ben Haikal to move runners to second and third, singled up the middle to drive home Matt Miller and Mark Shaver. Hunter Smith brought home a run with a bloop single to left and Ben Fulks got the fourth in with a well-executed bunt.
For the game, seven of Huntington's 14 hits were of the infield variety (bunt, swinging bunt or well placed grounders).
"We bunted and fielded well," Harbert said. "We manufactured runs."
The Mohigans (11-5) finally came to life in the fifth. Tyler Shorter smacked a double, Ryan Antonini walked and Connor Leone followed with a single to load the bases. Two batters later, Shane Commodore unloaded a fly to deep left that hit high off the wall to bring home three runs. After Albie Eddy's RBI single, Harbert made the pitching change.
"Kris got a little tired," Harbert said. "Isaiah did a great job. He comes in, throws strikes and lets the defense work." Settle retired seven of the nine batters he faced.
Commodore led the Mohigans with four RBI.
Smith and Musick each knocked in two for the Highlanders. Musick enjoyed a 4-hit day.
The win was extra sweet for Harbert. He played high school ball at Morgantown and later served as an assistant coach for the Mohigans.
"It's kind of cool," Harbert said. "To coach and play for them and have them down here is special. They've got a solid team."
Huntington's next game is Monday at Lawrence County.
St. Joe pushed across seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to mercy Cross Lanes Christian for the second time this season. Ben Vanston knocked in three runs for the Irish (7-7) and Brian Conaty added two RBI. Winning pitcher Torin Walters fanned seven Warriors.
St. Joe returns to action Monday at home against Tug Valley. Game time is 5 p.m.

A bassist's songbook for jamming with Pink Floyd!
Alfred's Ultimate Play-Along series gives you everything you need to jam with your favorite songs. The Pink Floyd - Ultimate Bass Play-Along book comes with authentic bass guitar tablature transcriptions, music notation, lyrics, and chords to nine Pink Floyd classics.
There's two versions of every Pink Floyd song on the included CDs: a full-performance track with an amazing sound-alike recording, plus a professional accompaniment track so you can play along. When you use the CDs in your Mac or Windows-based computer, the TNT (Tone 'N' Tempo) Changer lets you easily loop sections for practice, change the key, slow tracks down or speed them up without changing the pitch, and switch back and forth between full-performance and backing tracks.

With a student body that comes from most U.S. states and a number of foreign countries, Valley Forge parents do not always live around the corner. But, for all that distance, they are no less involved. Whether you're a current Valley Forge parent, or coming in for a first-time visit, there's information of value for you here.
The Parents Association supports the work of the school by facilitating communication among parents, providing opportunities to be involved at Valley Forge Military Academy & College, organizing fund-raising events, and planning cultural enrichment programs.
We encourage all parents to volunteer. We're confident that everyone can make a comfortable connection, whether you help decorate for an event on campus, or make a donation to the projects we support at the start of every academic year.
The Valley Forge Military Academy & College Parents Association also acts as a liaison with the school administration and works as a support group for new cadet's parents. It also sponsors fundraising activities throughout the year.
