- 3:15-9:02 - Richard Sherman
- 9:03-14:39 - Super Bowl story
- 14:40-15:39 - [Listener Question] With the Super Bowl and the Oscars coming up, I was wondering what kind of food do you guys prepare for the different events? And if you could only watch one, which would it be and why? [Ryan M]
- 15:40-21:36 - Box-Office Challenge Update (chart below)
- 21:37-36:18 - [Listener Question] I got around to looking through Brad's Top 40 Most Anticipated Movies of 2014, given the year we just had, were there any films starring African-Americans or any minorities to anticipate? I didn't notice any unless I'm blind. [Marlon Wallace]
- 36:19-40:58 - New DVDs and Blu-rays
- 40:59-49:29 - Oscar talk
- 49:30-51:33 - [Listener Question] If there were only 5 Best Picture nominees this year, they would have been 12 YEARS A SLAVE, AMERICAN HUSTLE, GRAVITY and what two others? [Almostfilmcritic]
- 51:34-54:36 - [Listener Voicemail] Tony L - Her
- 54:37-56:02 - [Listener Question] What is your opinion of story vs. character? Do you gravitate more towards a story driven film such as Inception or a character driven film such as Lost in Translation? [Mr Mercury]
- 56:03-1:00:04 - [Listener Question] Are filmmakers who aren't just about cashing them checks but about the art obligated to step outside their comfort zone after a number of successful projects? Tarantino seems like a guy who loves cinema but my god I'm sick of all his love letters to old cinema and I'd wish he just step outside the usual of homaging. The thought of another period piece/western instantly makes me not want to see it, strange considering I was highly anticipating and was prepared for it before Django but now I'm loathing the future hysteria that follows his movies. How you found yourself turning on a filmmaker after one film? Especially when it wasn't a bad film. [Ron Oneal Fresh]
- 1:00:05-1:02:46 - [Listener Question] I'm sure you've spoken about whether or not you watch and/or enjoy previews, but I'd love to know some specifics. Do you guys avoid previews so as not to spoil the movie? Or do you watch them whenever you come across a new one? What is the ideal number of previews before a movie in a theater? [Magill Foote]
- 1:02:47-1:08:50 - [Listener Question] How soon after watching a film have you felt it has masterpiece potential? Something that is significant but also entertains, I say this after watching The Great Beauty, i am in love with this film and cant wait to see it again [andyluvsfilms]

text: I Offer the Truth By Amy Phoenix on April 12, 2011 in Parenting There is a reason my bio describes me as "gentle, yet direct". Maybe it's the fact that I was born under the sign of Gemini and maybe it's because of the passion that burns within me to help parents liberate themselves from parenting ways that just don't work for them - so they can make the most of the time they have with their kids. Either way, I walk the line of compassionately advocating for healthy, gentle parenting choices by offering the truth. Continue Reading

Don't be too surprised if you see hundreds of children running through your neighborhood and climbing around the playground this summer — all with matching T-shirts announcing their admission to the Class of 2025.
Almost 900 kindergartners in Lee County Schools were welcomed to first grade this spring with free shirts provided by 10 local businesses and nonprofit groups. The gift was part of Project PK-14, an ongoing effort led by the United Way of Lee County to enhance local education and encourage students to remain in school through at least two years of college.
Why is a college education so important?
Well, where do you begin?
Decades ago, the high school diploma was the rite of passage, a credential that opened the door to plenty of good, entry-level jobs and a successful career. But those days are long gone. All you have to do is look at all of the unskilled jobs being eliminated by technology and shipped overseas to developing countries to realize how vastly different our world is today.
Don't be fooled: There are still plenty of good jobs out there, but nearly all of them require technical skills and a much higher level of education than ever before.
Add to that the rising proportion of Americans earning college degrees and what high school graduates face is much greater competition for the fewer jobs they can perform.
And then there's that huge — and growing — difference between what high school and college graduates earn.
Back in the late '70s, adults with bachelor's degrees earned 55 percent more than high school graduates. That was a big difference; but, now, they earn almost 86 percent more.
Here are the actual numbers. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics says the median annual wage for high school graduates in 2010 was $34,180. That may sound like a lot of money to young people, but it's really not. Especially when you learn that the average annual wage for people with an associate degree was $61,590, approaching double what high school graduates earn.
Over a 40-year career, that means people with associate degrees will earn $1.1 million more than their counterparts with only a high school diploma.
As you might imagine, annual income grows with even more education. Workers with a bachelor's degree average $63,430 per year and those earning a doctoral or professional degree average $87,500 per year.
Those are a lot of numbers, but the point is that college education is no luxury; it's absolutely essential for success. That's why it's so important to help young people stay in school through at least two years of college — and why Project PK-14 is so important for our community.
Of course, Project PK-14 does more than just provide T-shirts.
It was created three years ago with four broad goals in mind: increasing parental involvement in the schools, promoting safer schools, supporting effective teaching activities in the classroom and helping students develop plans for their education and life beyond school.
A number of valuable projects have been organized since then and VolunteerLee.com was created to help bring volunteers into the schools — and nonprofits all over the area. Now, anyone who wants to volunteer and any group needing help can get connected online. It's free and has been a perfect way to provide information about volunteer opportunities and get people involved.
Even more is on the way. Work continues on a wide range of projects, including one that could eventually guarantee access to two years of technical or college transfer courses at Central Carolina Community College for every Lee County high school graduate, regardless of their income. That's a huge undertaking and it's not here quite yet, but you can see how Project PK-14 could transform our community.
Whether it's T-shirts you may see this summer or something even bigger to come, the outreach is designed to elevate our entire community. And, most of all, to help our young neighbors enjoy a better, more successful future.
Jan Hayes is executive director of the United Way of Lee County.

FORT WORTH A demolition company has mistakenly torn down a three-bedroom home in North Texas rather than the condemned building next door.
David Underwood and his wife placed their Fort Worth house on the market with the intention of moving into the retreat they purchased near the shores of Lake Worth. The lakeside land has been in the family for decades and Underwood bought it from an aunt earlier this year.
But when they stopped by to mow the lawn Saturday, they found the home was gone. A slab of foundation remains.
Fort Worth hired the demolition company to raze the condemned building, and was billed more than $6,000 for the work.
The condemned structure remains standing.

A vortex generating element of the type used in flow metering apparatus and having a generally elongate cylindrical shape mounted in a stream of flowing fluid so as to produce Karman's vortices at a rate proportional to the velocity of the flowing fluid, with means detecting the production of vortices to give a linearly related measure of fluid velocity. To improve the correspondence of vortex production rate with flow velocity over wide conditions of flow, the element is formed on opposite sides thereof with recessed surface portions meeting the upstream surface of the element in an edge which lies substantially where the boundary layer of the fluid separates from the element surface during low velocity conditions of flow. The recessed surface portion meets the downstream surface of the element inwardly of said edge, whereby said edge forms an outer extremity of said element to said fluid flow and compels boundary layer separation.

L PULSE 12B EN Yuiaim [s/zZ/(awa BY Takekmo ,Sawayama A WWW 1 KARMAN 'S VORTICES GENERATING DEVICE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to flow metering apparatus of the type wherein a cylindrical object in a stream of flowing fluid produces a wake including a distinct pattern of vortices known as the Karman Vortex Street. The vortices are shed from alternate sides of the object in a periodic manner. There is a definite-relationship between frequency f of shedding of the vortices, the diameter D of the cylinder, and the velocity V of the stream, expressed by:
- f- -K'V/D where K is a constant when flow is within a range of velocities V, and where K is a function of velocity V outside this range. Accordingly, it is possible to determine the flow velocity V by measuring the frequency f of the generation of vortices, and the measurement is straightforward where the conditions of flow make K a constant.
' 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART It has been found that the desired linear relationship between flow velocity V and frequency f of the vortex generation does not apply over the full range of conditions encountered in flow measurement. When a cylinder is immersed in a stream of fluid flowing through a pipe and particularly when flow velocity increases beyond a certain point, K is not a constant and the measurement of vortex production does not simply yield a measurement of velocity. Though the causes of this disparity may not have yet been completely explained, it is believed to result from the uneven velocity distribution of a fluid flowing through a pipe, from the fluctuation and eddies other than Karmans vortices which develop in the flowing fluid, and from the transfer to the downstream side of the cylindrical object of the separating point of the boundary layer of the fluid flowing along the cylindrical surface as the flow velocity increases.
Various arrangements have been proposed for generating Karrnans vortices more stably in a flow measurement environment. In one such arrangement disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,564,915 Miyaji Tomota et al., the cylindrical element is formed with a transverse bore or slot intercepting the cylinder surface in the regions where boundary layer separation occurs, with fluid flow alternating through the transverse bore or slot as the Karmans vortices are generated and assisting in causing or retarding boundary layer separation for more reliable vortex production without influence from eddies and other fluid fluctuations.
In another prior art arrangement, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,116,639 to Bird, the cylindrical object is formed with a cross-sectional shape which reduces flow resistance at high speeds, and avoids deleterious effects on vortex production caused by cavitation, such shapes including a streamlined fore-part (such as a semi-ellipse) with the after part cut away and recessed.
Such prior art apparatus of the general type referred to above has not been fully satisfactory in providing a linear relationship between flow velocity V and the frequency f of vortex generation. While gains have been made in avoiding eddy and cavitation problems, deviations from linearity at high velocities of flow remain present.
. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a principal object of this invention to provide improved elements for generating Karmans vortices, the frequency of shedding of which is to be detected to measure the velocity of fluid flow. It is a specific object of the invention to provide a vortex generating element which extends the range of flow velocity for which a linear relationship exists between flow velocity and frequency of vortex generation. Still another object of the invention is to provide a vortex generating element of the type described which is more suitable for commercial use.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention to be described hereinbelow in detail, the cylindrical element inserted in the flowing stream is formed on opposing sides with recessed surface portions. These portions meet the upstream portion of the element surface in an edge which lies substantially where the boundary layer of the fluid separates from the surface of the element at fluid velocities in the linear range. The recessed surface portions also meet the downstream portion of the element surface inwardly of said edge, and the edge thus forms an outer discontinuous extremity of the element to said fluid flow to force boundary layer separation. This arrangement affords linearity of operation extending over a broader velocity range. The-arrangement further is advantageous in that it can employ a transverse bore arrangement to further assist in controlling boundary layer separation to produce stable Karmans vortices.
Other objects, aspects and advantages of the invention will be pointed out in, or apparent from, the detailed description hereinbelow, considered together with the following drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS that the fluid F breaks into two streams F1 and F2 at the stagnation point P1 and these two streams flow along the surface of cylinder C. The flow velocity at the cylinder surface increases as the flow moves away from the stagnation point P1, until the boundary layer of the fluid separates from the cylinder surface at a separating point P2. Downstream of the separating point P2 vortices form alternately on opposite sides of cylinder C to produce the characteristic Karman vortex street.
The separating point P2 of the boundary layer is not fixed, but periodically varies its position along the circumference of cylinder C as the alternating vortices are produced, oscillating about an average position which is stationary for a given flow velocity. The average position of separating point P2 also varies its position with flow velocity. When the flow velocity is low, the average separating point P2 is typically located on the upstream surface of cylinder C and is gradually transferred to the downstream surface as the velocity increases. During the flow conditions which produce vortices, it has been found that the position of the separating point P2 is located at an angle within a range of 75 to 105, where 0 is the angle between the cylinder radius connecting to the point P2 and the cylinder radius connecting to the stagnation point P1.
Variation of the angle 0 with velocity can also be put in terms of the Reynolds number R=VD/V,, where V is the flow velocity, D is the cylinder diameter, and V,, is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid. When the Reynolds number is less than 10 the average position of separating point P2 is located with the range of 0 of 75 to 85, and when the Reynolds number exceeds as fluid velocity increases, the separating point P2 is transferred to the downstream side of the cylinder where 0 is greater than 90. At the lower Reynolds number, the frequency of vortex production is substantially linearly related to flow velocity.
The alternately shed vortices from cylinder C travel downstream of the cylinder, where the frequency of their production can be detected by a detecting means 12 positioned to intercept the vortices. The detecting means 12 can be a known arrangement comprising an electrically-heatable wire the ends of which are connected to a sensing circuit outside pipe 10 which produces a flow of electric current through the wire and also measures the change in resistance of the wire resulting from displacement of the fluid accompanying the passage of vortices past the wire.
As indicated previously, when flow velocities are high, the conventional cylinder illustrated in FIG. 1 does not provide the desired linear relationship between frequency of vortex generation and flow velocity. Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3 the present invention provides an improved vortex generating element 14, typically secured in place by attachment to the wall of pipe 10 as shown in FIG. 2. The shape of vortex generating element 14 is generally elongate and cylindrical, but in a region L located centrally in pipe 10, the element 14 has provided thereon on opposite sides a pair of recessed surface portions 16, 18 as shown in cross section in FIG. 3.
The recessed surface portions 16, 18 are formed so as to intersect the upstream surface l4u of element 14 in discontinuities or edges 20, 22 which are located substantially where the boundary layer of the fluid separates from a cylindrical surface under conditions of low fluid velocity which result in the linear relationship between vortex frequency and flow velocity. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, edges 20 and 22 are located at an angle 0 of approximately to The recessed surface portions are also formed so that they meet the downstream surface 14d of element 14 in locations 24, 26 which are inward of edges 20, 22, i.e., closer to the plane Pc extending through the cylinder axis and the stagnation point P1, which plane is also the plane of symmetry of the element 14. Thus the edges 20, 22 form the outer extremities of element 14 to the flow of fluid F, which as before breaks into two streams, F1 and F2 as it impinges upon element 14. The streams F1 and F2 flow along the upstream surface l4u until they reach edges 20, 22 where the boundary layer of the fluid separates from the elements surface because of the existence of recesses 16, 18. The surface discontinuity provided by the recesses 16, 18 provides for positive separation of the boundary layer with a concomitant positive and stable generation of Karmans vortices, even at high flow velocities. The element 14 with recesses 16, 18 formed thereon will generate Karmans vortices in a stable manner, largely free of the influences of flow fluctuation and eddy currents in the stream, and will maintain a linear relationship between the frequency of vortex generation and flow velocity over a broad range of flow velocities.
The cross-sectional shape of recesses l6, 18 may vary. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the recesses 16, 18 are formed with two flat, planar surfaces, the
. rear one parallel to the direction of flow F, and the front one perpendicular to that direction and forming sharp edges 20, 22. Various modifications of the shape of recesses 16, 18 are shown in FIGS. 4 through 6. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, element 14 has recesses 16a, 18a formed of a single flat surface along a chord of the cylinder. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the element 14 has recesses 16b, 18b formed with curved surfaces which undercut the edges 20, 22. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, there is shown an element 14c having an elliptical shape with major axis D1 and minor axis D2, the direction of flow being parallel to the major axis. Recesses 16c, are formed with two flat, planar surfaces, the rear one parallel to the direction of flow and the front one perpendicular to the direction of flow similar to the embodiment of FIG. 3. The upstream edges 20 and 22 of the recesses 16c, 18c are located substantially where the boundary layer of the fluid flow separates at low fluid velocities from the surface of an elliptical cylinder with axes D1 and D2.
Detection of vortices generated by the element 14 can be by use of a detecting means 12 as shown in FIG. 1, or alternatively by use of detecting means 12a shown in FIG. 3. This detecting means is mounted directly on the downstream surface 14d of element 14 and comprises an electrically heated wire sensing the displacement of fluid flowing along the downstream surface, the fluid flow having a variation directly related to the production of Karmans vortices.
Still another detecting means 12b is shown in FIG. 3. (For simplicity, detecting means 12a and 12b are shown in superimposed use in FIG. 3, but they would typically be used independently of one another.) The detecting means 12b detects the passage of Karmans vortices by making use of the vortex property of oppositely directed velocity components v1 and v2 produced in the fluid F. Detecting means 12b comprises a supersonic pulse generator 30 feeding a transmitter 32 which sends the sound impulses across pipe to a receiver 34. Receiver 34 is connected to an input of the pulse generator 30, which is arranged to emit a new pulse each time one is received from receiver 34. Receiver 34 is also connected to a frequency demodulator 36 whose output is fed to a counter or calculator 38. In operation, detecting means 12b transmits pulses from transmitter 32 to receiver 34; the time required for the transmission will depend on whether there is a velocity component v1 from a vortex which delays the transmission, or a velocity component v2 which hastens the transmission. As a result, receiver 34 will provide a signal which is frequency modulated by the passage of Karmans vortices. This signal is demodulated by the demodulator 36 whose output is used in counter or calculator 38 to provide a measure of fluid flow.
FIGS. 7 through 12 show alternate embodiments of the invention in which the element 14 is provided with passages extending between the recesses l6, 18 to communicate fluid fluctuations therebetween. Referring to FIG. 7', the element 14 has a set of holes 40 extending between the recesses 16, 18. The holes 40 are arranged in a straight line parallel tothe axis of the element 14, and are positioned adjacent the edges 20, 22 where boundary layer separation occurs. As shown in FIG. 9, the fluid F impinging against the element 14 breaks into two streams F1 and F2, the boundary layers of which separate from the elements surface at the edges 20, 22. When the vortices are shed from element 14, corresponding pressure fluctuations are produced next to the adjacent openings of the holes 40. Since the vortices are shed alternately from opposite sides of the element 14, the pressures within the recesses 16, 18 also will fluctuate in an alternating fashion. These pressure fluctuations cause fluid to be displaced (i.e. to flow) through the holes 40 in an alternating fashion, first in one direction and then a reversed direction. The rate of pressure alternation is proportional to the rate of generation of vortices, and this in turn is proportional to the rate of fluid flow through the pipe. To detect fluid flowing through the holes 40, as shown in FIG. 9, a detecting means 12c may position an electrically heated wire within the holes 40 to be responsive to the fluid flow without interfering with it.
. The holes 40 combine with recessed portions l6, 18 to improve the stable formation of Karmans vortices. Generally, when the boundary layer of a fluid flowing along the surface of an object is in a condition to separate easily from the surface, flow of fluid outwardly against the layer encourages its separation, and conversely, withdrawing fluid from the layer has the effect of retarding separation. Accordingly, the provision of holes 40 adjacent the edges 20, 22 assists in controlling separation of the boundary layer to thereby further improve the stability and reliability of vortex formation.
Referring to FIG. 8, an alternate embodiment of the invention is shown, in which a slot 40s, arranged parallel to the element axis, extends between the recessed portions l6, 18 instead of the set of holes 40.
In FIGS. 10 and 11, an alternate embodiment is shown in which the element 14 is formed on opposite sides thereof with respective sets of holes 42 and 44. Each set of holes is arranged within a recess 16, 18 ad- 5 jacent an edge 20, 22 in a straight line parallel to the axis of the cylinder and communicates with a corresponding interior cavity 46, 48.
These cavities are separated by a central partition 50 having an opening 52 serving as a passageway to accommodate the flow of fluid therebetween. The interior cavities 46, 48, by equalizing pressure, provide a uniformity of flow distributed along the axis of element 14, and thus contribute to stable formation of Karmans vortices over the axial distance L (FIG. 2) notwithstanding a variable velocity distribution across the diameter of pipe 10. As shown in FIG. 10, the alternating flow of fluid through opening 52 can be detected by means 12d positioning an electrically heated wire in the opening. Referring to FIG. 12, the rows of holes may be replaced by slots 42s and 44s, and the partition opening may comprise a set of holes 52h arranged parallel to the element axis.
In addition to the various detection means illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3, 9, and 10, the detection of fluid flow with elements having interior cavitites 46, 48 may also be by detection means positioned in a chamber connected to but remote from said cavitites, as disclosed in co-pending application of H. Yamasaki et al., Ser. No. 108,731, tiled Jan. 22, 1971.
Also, detection may be of the vortex interference pattern produced by two elements used in tandem, one upstream of the other, one or both of the elements being constructed according to FIGS. 2-12.
Although specific embodiments of the invention have been disclosed herein in detail, it is to be understood that this is for the purpose of illustrating the invention, and should not be construed as necessarily limiting the scope of the invention, since it is apparent that many changes can be made to the disclosed structures by those skilled in the art to suit particular applications.
We claim:

Chateau Couhins Blanc (Futures Pre-sale) 2011
Bordeaux White Blends from Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux, France
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A really crackling style, with mouthwatering herb, fleur de sel and gooseberry notes leading the way and a core of white peach in reserve. This is superbrisk and refreshing, and should age a bit too.
Barrel Sample: 90-93 Points"
Chateau Couhins Winery
View all Chateau Couhins Wines
About Pessac-Leognan(PEH-sak lay-ohn-yawn)
One of the top appellations within Graves, Pessac-Léognan is home to the only Graves chateau listed as a first growth in the 1855 Médoc classification – Chateau Haut-Brion. In fact, praise for the chateau dates back to the days of Thomas Jefferson, when, upon visiting the chateau in 1787, he bought 125 bottles for his cellar in Virginia.
Notable Facts
The majority of wines made here are red, but Pessac-Léognan is also known for producing some of the finest dry white wines of Bordeaux. Many of the top chateau, like Chateau Haut Brion and Chateau Mission Haut Brion, produce top-quality whites alongside their red. Other Chateaux, like Smith Haut Lafite and Carbonnieux, are better known for their distinguished white wines than reds. Both colors of wine from this region have the specific tastes of the gravelly soil where it's grown.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Editorial: License proposal will make city more business friendly
The economic census from 2002 really told the story.
The survey done every five years showed that retail sales in Huntington had dropped from $637 million in 1997 to $483 million in 2002. Meanwhile, retail sales in Barboursville climbed from $337 million in 1997 to $587 million in 2002, eclipsing Huntington as the area's largest retail center.
The growth of the mall, big box stores and businesses fleeing the city had taken their toll. Over the next five years, Huntington began to make improvements with the development of Pullman Square and other steps, and the 2007 economic census reflected that progress. Retail sales in Huntington were up to $548 million.
Barboursville grew as well to $651 million, and we hope the new figures being gathered this year will show continued progress in both areas.
But the trends of the past decade are a reminder that Huntington needs to improve its business climate if it is to grow. Since his election last fall, Mayor Steve Williams has stressed that more needs to be done, and one of those initiatives includes streamlining the process for starting a business within the city limits.
As part of that effort, City Council this week forwarded to a second reading eight ordinances that will reduce the number of business license categories from 41 to 5 and charge one set fee, $20, for most annual business licenses. These categories had not been reviewed in more than 40 years, and the maze of licensing procedures just added delays and confusion for potential new start-ups.
Williams also plans to hire a business services "concierge" next fiscal year to help new businesses navigate the permits, licenses and zoning questions at City Hall.
These are both encouraging changes and good steps toward helping Huntington grow.

The Malay Archipelago
The land of the Orangutan and the Bird of Paradise - A Narrative of Travel with Studies of Man and Nature
by Alfred Russel Wallace - 1898
Wallace chose the Indonesian Archipelago for detailed study, travelling to what was referred to in those days as "the Malay Archipelago." He arrived in Singapore on 20 April 1854, to begin what would turn out to be the defining period of his life. Wallace's name is now inextricably linked with his travels in this region. He spent nearly eight full years there; during that period he undertook about seventy different expeditions resulting in a combined total of around 14,000 miles of travel. He visited every important island in the archipelago at least once, and several on multiple occasions.
The volume he later wrote describing his work and experiences there, The Malay Archipelago, is the most celebrated of all writings on Indonesia, and ranks with a small handful of other works as one of the nineteenth century's best scientific travel books. Highlights of his adventures there include his study and capture of birds-of-paradise and orangutans, his many dealings with native peoples, and his residence on New Guinea .
Beyond his travel and collecting activities, Wallace's time in the Malay Archipelago was marked, of course, by the 1858 event that would assure his place in history. Three years earlier he had still been struggling with the causes of organic evolution when an article by another naturalist prompted him to write and publish the essay 'On the Law Which Has Regulated the Introduction of New Species', a theoretical work that all but stated outright Wallace's belief in evolution. The paper was seen by Lyell, who thought highly of it and brought it to Darwin's attention. Darwin, however, took relatively little notice.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a petition under the state's sexual predator law against a Sauk County man. The petition was filed on May 23, 2013, in Sauk County Circuit Court and alleges that Matthew S. Carr (DOB 11/27/1981) is a sexually violent person and should be committed for treatment. A probable cause hearing is scheduled before the Honorable Patrick Taggart on June 4, 2013.
Chapter 980 of the Wisconsin Statutes relates to the control, care and treatment of sexually violent persons. Under Wisconsin law, a person may be subject to a civil commitment when the person has been convicted of a sexually violent offense, has a mental disorder, and is dangerous to others because the mental disorder makes it likely he or she will commit further acts of sexual violence. A civil commitment is defined in Wisconsin law as commitment to the custody and care of the Department of Health Services for control, care, and treatment until the person is no longer considered sexually violent.
According to the DOJ petition, on October 14, 2011, Carr pled guilty to one count of Third Degree Sexual Assault and was sentenced to 30 months confinement in the Wisconsin State Prison System and 42 months extended supervision. Carr was scheduled to be discharged from the Department of Corrections on May 28, 2013, but will be detained at a Department of Health Services facility to await trial on the petition.
The state's petition alleges that Carr suffers from mental conditions that predispose him to engage in acts of sexual violence. The petition also alleges that Carr is dangerous as his mental disorders make it likely that he will engage in future acts of sexual violence. A petition is only an allegation and a finding of probable cause only allows the state's case to move forward. Carr is legally presumed not to be a sexually violent person unless and until the state proves him to be a sexually violent person at a trial.
Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey M. Gabrysiak represents the state in this case.

With the elongated forelegs of the males, Cheirotonus parryi is one of the most charismatic of all beetle species. John Edward Gray first described Cheirotonus parryi in the Transactions of the Entomological Society of London in 1848.
Today marks the 200th birthday of an important English entomologist, Major Frederick John Sidney Parry (28th October 1810 – 1st February 1885), after whom the beetle is named.
Parry joined the 17th Lancers in 1831 and went on to become a major in the British Army. He became a Fellow of both the Entomological Society of London in 1840 and the Linnean Society in 1842. He published on all families of Coleoptera but it is his work on the Lucanidae or stag beetles that he will be remembered for, with a large part of his extensive collection residing here at the Natural History Museum.
Parry has many other species of beetle named in his honour by revered contemporaries including Wallace, Bates and Hope.
Cheirotonus parryi shares its range with two other related species. Find out how you might tell them apart.
This species can be found in primary forest in parts of Asia. Discover where its larvae like to live.

'The history of entomology fascinates me, in particular those entomologists and explorers who went to astonishing lengths in the name of scientific enlightenment. Today's species honours such an individual; Major FJS Parry, a little known entomologist whose work on stag beetles is still to this day invaluable. Cheirotonus parryi is one of the most charismatic of all beetles and is an apt species for this day – an extraordinary beetle to honour an extraordinary entomologist.'

Tenderloin (musical)
Original Cast Recording
|Jerry Bock
|Sheldon Harnick
|George Abbott and Jerome Weidman
|1959 novel by
Samuel Hopkins Adams, Tenderloin
|1960 Broadway
2000 Broadway concert
Tenderloin is a musical with a book by George Abbott and Jerome Weidman, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and music by Jerry Bock, their follow-up to the highly successful Pulitzer Prize-winning Fiorello! a year earlier. The musical is based on a 1959 novel by Samuel Hopkins Adams. Set in the Tenderloin, a red-light district in 1890s Manhattan, the show's story focuses on Reverend Brock, a character loosely based on American clergyman and social reformer Charles Henry Parkhurst.
After six previews, the Broadway production, directed by Abbott and choreographed by Joe Layton, opened on October 17, 1960 at the 46th Street Theatre, where it ran for 216 performances. The cast included Maurice Evans (better known as a Shakespearean actor than a musical performer) as Reverend Brock and Ron Husmann as Tommy.
Tony Award nominations went to Evans for Best Actor in a Musical, Husmann for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, and Cecil Beaton for his costume design, and Husmann won the Theatre World Award for his performance.
An original cast recording was released by Angel Records, and Bobby Darin's recording of "Artificial Flowers" reached #20 on the Billboard charts [1].
In March 2000, the show was directed by Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Rob Ashford as part of New York City Center's Encores! series [2]. The cast included David Ogden Stiers (Brock), Debbie Gravitte (Nita), Tom Alan Robbins (Joe), Patrick Wilson (Tommy), Sarah Uriarte Berry (Laura), Kevin Conway (Lt. Schmidt), and Jessica Stone (Margie). A concert cast recording was released by DRG Records.
Reverend Brock, a single-minded 1890s social reformer works to sanitize the Tenderloin, a red-light neighborhood in western Manhattan. He is foiled by everyone associated with the district, including the corrupt politicians and police who are taking their cut from the earnings of the prostitutes who work the streets there. Tommy Howatt, a writer for the local scandal sheet Tatler, infiltrates the minister's church and proceeds to play one side against the other, eventually framing Brock by revealing to the authorities his plan to raid the brothels, but ultimately saving him by siding with him at his trial. As a result, the Tenderloin is shut down and Brock, asked to resign from his church, heads for Detroit with the hope of succeeding there as well.

William and James Goldman were called in to doctor the show.

"It was terrifying."[2]

BISMARCK, N.D. -- Residents in Fargo and the surrounding area who suffered damage as a result of this past weekends severe storm still have the opportunity to register for disaster assistance. Individuals can register for assistance by calling the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at 1-800-462-9029 (TTY 1-800-462-7585). Residents should also file claims with their insurance company since federal assistance cannot duplicate insurance benefits.
"There may be help from FEMA in the form of disaster rental assistance for those individuals who had their apartments and homes destroyed over the weekend," said Federal Coordinating Officer Lesli A. Rucker. "We understand there are several families who had to leave their homes because of the damage and we want them to know that there is help available to them."
Disaster assistance may also be available to families and individuals who suffered damages but are able to remain in their homes. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) may also provide low-interest disaster loans to individuals and businesses that suffered damages.
FEMA and the State will also be working with county and city officials to determine what assistance may be provided to help with any damaged infrastructure.
To date, more than 4,000 North Dakota residents have registered for disaster assistance and more than $3.1 million has been issued to help individuals recover from the various storms that have affected the state this spring and summer.

MUDs (historically Multi-User Dungeon, with later variants including Multi-User Dimension and Multi-User Domain) are a broad category of multi-user virtual world systems -- usually text-based, usually games, usually accessed via the Telnet protocol, and usually free. They date to Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle's creation of MUD1 in 1978, and are the direct predecessor genre to the MMORPG.
The MUD genre peaked in popularity in the 1990s with the spread of the four major MUD codebase families: AberMUD, TinyMUD, LPMud, and DikuMUD. All of these codebases, though open-source, were created with non-free, anti-commercial licensing, which guaranteed the availability of free games in the short term but hobbled the evolution of the genre in the long term. MUDs had the greatest relevance when they were essentially the only game in town if you wanted multiplayer persistent-world online RPGs; once MMORPGs (originally referred to as "graphical MUDs") came on the scene in the late 1990s, MUDs were quickly eclipsed culturally and suffered considerable shrinkage of their market, which has never recovered to its mid-1990s levels.
Despite these setbacks, a number of significant MUDs continue to operate, even including Trubshaw and Bartle's original MUD1 and the first LPMud, Genesis. New MUDs continue to open as well, though it is notoriously harder for them to attract attention and a workable player base than in earlier days. The genre is also worth noting for the tremendous amount of innovation and exploration of the virtual world problem space that it has produced; it's not for nothing that Bartle's Designing Virtual Worlds, a volume based largely on experience with MUDs, is called "the bible of MMORPG development", and many luminaries of MMORPG creation, like Raph Koster and Brad McQuaid, began as MUD developers.

Gear Review
Good for an Adult with a small foot
I wear a size 5/5.5 normally in women's. Of course, in specialty shoes, these sizes are hard to find. I'll say that the hedgefrog for girls looks good, not too little girly. It fits comfortably and seems to operate the way the adult shoe would. Purchased these for a hiking/canoeing trip and am excited to see them in action.
Are these true to size?

Speculation ahead of the summer transfer window continues to suggest that the Gunners will look to bring in a new number one for next season.
Adler is said to figure prominently on Arsene Wenger's wish list, with the Germany international possessing the required experience in both domestic and European competition.
He is, however, tied to a long-term contract in Germany and Hamburg have no intention of allowing that agreement to be broken.
Adler says he is willing to honour a deal which is due to run until 2017, with little attention being paid to the incessant rumours regarding his future.
He told Sport-BILD: "I am under contract with Hamburg, that is a fact.
"I can say that I have not thought about leaving or considered a transfer since I joined Hamburg (in May 2012)."

NuVitaLift is an anti-aging system that aims to grant users an "at-home facelift," but without the invasiveness of plastic surgery. Some benefits NuVitaLift is claimed to offer are skin firmness restoration, the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, a decrease in laugh lines and crow's feet, while providing essential moisture to skin and an evening of the skin's overall tone. The NuVitaLift skin care system consists of two treatments and claims to be an alternative to more extreme medical procedures that involve surgical healing time. This skin care regimen comes with a 100% money-back guarantee.
The NuVitaLift treatment system involves two products, which are known as the Nu VitaLift Firming Facelift Mask and Nu VitaLift Overnight Firming Cream. Together these treatment are said to dramatically reduce the signs of aging, improve skin elasticity, moisturize, firm, contour, nourish, tighten pores, brighten skin, boost collagen levels and promote skin cell growth. The Firming Facelift Mask is a clear topical product that is applied to the face and neck for a desired period of time (generally 20-25 minutes) and then rinsed off with warm water. The Overnight Firming Cream is to be applied after the mask and then left on while you sleep. Key ingredients found in NuVitaLift products are green tea extract, gingko biloba extract, rosemary extract, ginseng extract, lemon extract, grape seed extract and horsetail extract. The NuVitaLift skin care system is supposedly all-natural, which aims to minimize irritation in some users.
Product Details
NuVitaLift skin treatments are primarily marketed toward aging women, who seek anti-aging skin products to assist with common dilemmas like frown lines, wrinkles, age spots, fine lines, collagen loss and facial sagging. NuVitaLift consists of only two products, which are the Nu VitaLift Firming Facelift Mask and Nu VitaLift Overnight Firming Cream. This two-step regimen is supposed to be used nightly. The primary active components incorporated into the NuVitaLift products are green tea extract (antioxidant), gingko biloba extract, rosemary extract, ginseng extract (helps maintain skin elasticity), lemon extract, grape seed extract and horsetail extract (assists with skin firmness). The ideal end result should be younger, smoother and more radiant skin.
The Good
- Both NuVitaLift treatments are conveniently available for purchase on the official website.
- NuVitaLift products are claimed to be all-natural.
- A 100% money-back guarantee is found on the official website.
- Before and after pictures can be seen on the website.
The Bad
- NuVitaLift does not appear to be dermatologist-tested.
- No free trial products are offered via the website.
- NuVitaLift seems to lack sufficient clinical testing/research.
- Some ingredients in NuVitaLift products may irritate the complexions of some users.
- Full ingredient lists are absent from the website.
- The nightly regimen involved with NuVitaLift may prove time consuming for some users (the mask typically takes 20-25 minutes).
The Bottom Line
The notion of NuVitaLift being a simple two-step system is indeed interesting and may stir the curiosity of some consumers. While this "anti-aging" treatment system is sold with a money-back guarantee, the official website may still raise a few eyebrows. Check it out for yourself, but to us, at least, it looks a lot like an infomericial. When it comes down to it, some consumers would probably like to see some valid clinical research offered regarding this "miracle" facelift at-home skin treatment prior to using it on their own face.

NBA Jam (Genesis) review
"Most of us get wrapped up in our nostalgia and daydream about it to our own detriment. The programmers of NBA Jam took notes on their sporting fantasies and produced an immensely addicting game. I suspect they, too, had nerf hoops slung over closed closet doors and weren't good enough for the real thing. And felt the magic of being able to dunk--first when you jumped, then on your tiptoes--in that brief time when puberty was still wonderfully novel, when you swore that your own imaginary basketb..."
