August 25, 2015 marks the 14th anniversary of the grand opening of Giants of the Mesozoic. Inspired not only by presenting history, but also with making history, from January 2000 through August 2001, Fernbank Museum pieced together—drawing by drawing, then bone by bone—this permanent exhibition featuring the world's largest dinosaurs.
Take a look back at the planning, building and unveiling of this ground-breaking exhibition.

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, Fernbank Museum would like to take this opportunity to recognize the outstanding teachers we had the privilege of working with this year.Thank youfor all the hard work you do and for making Fernbank Museum a part of your curriculum!
As a teacher, you play a key role in the achievements and success of each student who steps through your door. Teachers are required to be knowledgeable, enthusiastic, patient and caring. (Although sometimes one quality more than the others!) Finding these attributes wrapped into one individual is a rare gem.
It's a pleasure to see students immersed in a special exhibit at the museum. It's great to hear them gasp at something during an IMAX® film. Though the nicest part is watching a great teacher engage the students—connecting the content to what they're studying in class, asking questions, and furthering the students' curiosities and interests. You are such an integral part of these children's lives, and we want to thank you for the incredible work you do.
We hope to see you again in the 2015-2016 school year.

While I'm a fan of the idea of Chris Pratt leading a gang of Velociraptors, nothing compares to the original Jurassic Park. And, nothing compares to watching this most iconic of dinosaur films with an actual paleontologist!
Author and paleontologist Dr. Anthony Martin of Emory University will lead the special presentation Science on Screen: Jurassic Park at Fernbank Museum, Sunday, March 22.* Before Dr. Martin delves into the science behind the film (can we talk about thatTriceratops poop??), I had a few questions for him.
What is your favorite part of being a paleontologist?My favorite part of being a paleontologist is going outside and searching for fossils, especially with other paleontologists. I'm really happy whenever I get the chance to do this.
Why are my arms so short?Blame your ancestors and evolution for that. Your great-great-great-great grandparents probably didn't need big arms to survive a typical day during the Mesozoic Era, so your arms reflect that history, which is perfectly, normal. Besides, long arms are overrated.
What is your favorite dinosaur?Oh, that's easy: Oryctodromeus cubicularis. This was a small ornithopod dinosaur from Montana that lived during the Cretaceous Period, about 95 million years ago. One reason why it's my favorite dinosaur is because it's the only known burrowing dinosaur, fossilized in its den with two younger dinosaurs of the same species. Even better, I was lucky enough to co-name it! Its name literally means "digging runner of the den."
Have you ever met Jeff Goldblum?No, I haven't. But you know what's really sad for him? He hasn't met me yet, either. Hopefully it will happen someday: after all, life finds a way.
Do you have any snacks?What did you have in mind: Chihuahuas or Great Danes? Wait a minute: why are you looking at me like that?
Black and blue or gold and white?I like dresses of all colors, regardless of how people perceive them.
Do you think feathers would look good on me?Oh, for sure. I'm thinking iridescent black for most of your body, with some yellow and red feathers on your arms, and hot pink on the top of your head. With an ensemble like that, think of how you'd rock the Buckhead night life!
When can we go to Jurassic Park?I'm sorry to report that 'Jurassic Park' closed about 145 million years ago. Fortunately, though, we can still see the living descendants of dinosaurs today as birds. Which is pretty cool, because that means you can watch the relatives of 'Jurassic Park' in your backyard every day.
You can find Dr. Martin on Twitter at @Ichnologist. And you can find me on Twitter at@giga_a_dino and on Facebook.

*Admission to Science on Screen: Jurassic Park is free, but space is limited and. reservations are required.
They may be over 90 million years old, but age hasn't diminished the need to host a birthday party for the dinosaur stars of Fernbank Museum's permanent exhibition Giants of the Mesozoic. The world's largest dinosaurs will celebrate their seventh anniversary at Fernbank with the popular Dinosaur Birthday Bash on Saturday, August 23, 2008 from 10am to 2pm.
This prehistoric party will feature a mock dino dig, appearances by Giggy A. Dinosaur, big bubble fun, free treats* from Whole Foods Market Briarcliff, a kids' DJ and more.
Can't wait until it's party time? Here's a fun craft you can make at home, a Giggy Thaumatrope!
We'll see you Saturday!
—Deanna Smith, Director of Marketing
*Treats are available while supplies last and are limited to 1 per person.

For me, planning my time at the airport and on the flight is nearly as important as planning the activities during my trip. I like to optimize my transit time; I'm not the type to arrive at the airport two hours in advance, although my boyfriend continues to try to convince me that it has advantages. I think there is an art and a science to arriving at the gate exactly as the flight starts boarding. Read more

Tarik Black to transfer?
Memphis junior post forward Tarik Black will sit out tonight's contest with UT-Martin in an effort to resolve some personal issues.
"This is an internal matter and I have asked Tarik not to play tonight," said Memphis head coach Josh Pastner. "But I won't let this thing linger. Tarik and I have a meeting scheduled for Friday and we will resolve this at that time."
Black's play on the court has been sluggish, particualrly on the boards, over the last couple of games and his body language suggests that he is distracted by something. This could be a problem, as Pastner has always maintained that no single player is bigger than the program.
When asked if Black was considering a transfer, Pastner declined to comment. More details as the situation develops.

Great stay!
We had a wonderful experience at Deborah's and Andy's place.
The rooms were very homely, cosy and clean, and we even had tea, milk and chocolate biscuits waiting for us on arrival. We also found the location to be almost central to the Eastern, Southern and Western coastline of Cornwall. Very close to Kynance Cove and St Ives, and not too far from Penzance, The Minack Theatre and Lands End. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great, friendly bnb service. Thanks for having us Andy and Deb!

good in all
Compared with an award winning guest house we stayed at in Devon, this was not good value for money in terms of the quality of the decor and fixtures and the range of toiletries or the quality of the breakfast .
The hosts are friendly and well-meaning and the setting is as attractive as in the photo.

Our hosts Andrew and Debbie were wonderful.
thoughtful. and considerate. could see we were hot and tired and gave us a bottle of water each on arrival. tea. coffee. milk. and biscuits were already in the room along with towels all for our use. Breakfast was lovely and hosts were very hospitable. Only things that might be helpful would be a fan on really hot days and I know this is out of their control at the moment Wi Fi. Maybe a sign nearer the road with the house name as we drove by a couple of times before finding the lovely accomodation.

Helen's stay
Had a lovely 2 night stay at the farm.
I was travelling alone and made to feel very welcome. Lovely clean room and great breakfast. Would be very happy to stay there again.

Disappointing in comparison
No biscuits in the room on arrival.
No easy chair in the room to relax in. Clean but rather ordinary. TV reception was limited and intermittent.
You need to ask for breakfast items - cereal, yoghurt, juice etc if you want them, as none were on display in the breakfast room.
For the money I felt it was poor value.

Premier League - Stoke beat wasteful Everton
Fri, 31 Dec 17:12:00 2010
A Kenwyne Jones header and a freak Phil Jagielka own goal handed Stoke a 2-0 victory in a full-blooded Premier League clash against Everton.
Jones (pictured) rose to power the ball past Tim Howard midway through the first half before Jagielka put through his own net for second time in successive appearances with 21 minutes remaining at the Britannia Stadium.
Stoke's effort and organisation made them solid value for the three points, looking consistently dangerous when going forwards.
Everton, by contrast, enjoyed large spells of dominance - particularly in the second half - but failed time and again to find any cutting edge in the final third of the pitch.
Stoke's opener came after 23 minutes as Jones diverted another long ball into the path of Matthew Etherington and raced into the area. Etherington skipped around Phil Neville and picked out Jones with a perfect cross which the former Sunderland forward powered into the net.
Everton applied more pressure at the start of the second half but Steven Pienaar shot well wide when he mis-hit a volley.
But within moments the Toffees' task had doubled after Jagielka's stroke of misfortune.
Higginbotham sent a long free-kick into the box which Jones flicked straight up in the air, and as Jagielka challenged the Stoke forwards the ball dropped onto his foot and he inadvertently volleyed past Howard from the edge of the six-yard box.
The strike would have been worthy of Lionel Messi had Jagielka scored it at the other end.
Instead, with Everton never really threatening the Stoke goal, it effectively ended the match as a contest - and indeed David Moyes's side were lucky not to concede again, with Ricardo Fuller and substitute Tuncay both going close with late efforts.Eurosport / PA Sport

Edmunds sales predictions are always wrong. Very unreliable. Wait until the real numbers come out and forget Edmunds flawed speculation.
I was born in 1947 and in that era cars and trucks were made with quality in mind. Now a days It's quantity!! Make as many as we can and get them out the door and if there's anything wrong with them,We'll just recall them back. That's why alot of American people buy foreign cars and trucks because you get more for your money. This past summer I went to a Dodge dealership in NY to look at new trucks and after I almost passed out after seeing how much a pickup truck cost,I said no way will I be able to afford the payments and the insurance on a $55,000 pickup. How could a person pay that amount for a truck and end up hauling all kinds of things in the bed knowing that it cost so much money. Last week as I was on my way to Saratoga Springs on I-87 I saw a new pickup truck but I didn't know what kind it was until I passed it and to my surprise it was a Lincoln pickup. What does that go for about $80,000 What does he haul in that tiffany cuff links. What's next a Shelby Mustang pickup!! If the big 3 spent more time on making an affordable car and truck instead of high dollar cars and trucks,I think that they would be better off in the long run. OPTIONS!! OPTIONS!! is all they put into everything they make thinking that's what every American wants. Well wake up and smell the roses!! Every American doesn't want all that crap,They want something that they can afford. I've owned Mopars all of my life but I'll never buy a new one anymore because I have better luck with the old ones. Their easier to work on,They look alot better and worth more on resale. I have a 59yr old Dodge p/u,A 12yr old Chrysler LHS and a 9yr old Dodge Ram 1500 p/u and as long as they keep serving me well,I'll keep them on the road.
The car industry, particularly Detroit's GM, Ford and Chrysler, is going through a time of significant change and upheaval.

I couldnt help
but shake my head when I heard the news. Rush
Limbaugh, famed conservative radio talk show host
who has millions of listeners and millions of
dollars, is getting another divorce. Number
three, to be exact. Aye.
been listening to Rush for several years now, and
while I dont agree with him on every issue,
I do agree with him on many. Hes pro-life,
albeit not overly outspoken about it. He
doesnt subscribe to the homosexual agenda.
And he seems to recognize the libertine nature of
the mass media.
Not too bad
for a soon-to-be thrice-divorced rugged
individualist, no?
Yet, the
fact that Rush cant seem to get his marital
life in order is quite troublesome, especially
considering the multitude of liberals who now are
accusing him of hypocrisy because he has defended
the institution of marriage against the onslaught
of homosexual activism. Not that these
pro-homosexual marriage liberals have a leg to
stand on, but still
I obviously
dont know what caused the break-up of
Rushs marriages, but I do think there is an
oft-overlooked, indirect factor in many broken
marriages: the use of contraception.
So does Dr.
Janet E. Smith, Chair of Life Issues at Sacred
Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. In a popular and
published lecture titled Contraception: Why
Not?, Smith discusses why the divorce rate
doubled between 1965, when 25 percent of
marriages ended in divorce, and 1975, when 50
percent of marriages ended in divorcethe
same as today.
Smith cites
the research of social scientist Robert Michael,
who concluded
as the contraceptive pill became more and more
available, divorce became more and more
popular." In fact, Michael attributed
"45 percent of this increase [in divorce] to
increased use of contraceptives." Why so?
There are
three reasons, according to Michael. First, his
statistical data showed "that those who use
contraceptives have fewer children and have them
later in marriage
those who have the first
baby in the first two years of marriage and
another baby in the next couple years of
marriage, have a much longer lasting marriage
than those who don't." (Rush has no
observes that married couples who have children
"become better people
Michael found that "since contraceptives
have arrived on the scene, there is much more
adultery than there was before." Observes
Smith: "People have been tempted, for the
history of mankind. It's easy enough to think
about wanting to have an affair, but wanting a
child out of wedlock is another story. But if
most every woman is contracepting, then most
every woman is available in a certain sense and
there is no real reason to say no. Adultery is
absolutely devastating to marriages."
The third
explanation, says Dr. Smith, is "that women
are financially more independent. They do have
fewer children. They do go into the work place.
And, again, when they have difficulties in the
marriage, it's much [easier] to say, Take a
walk, than it is to work it out because
they need their husband for one fewer reason than
they did before."
Smith also
says that widespread pre-marital sex and
cohabitation have contributed to the increase in
divorce. Obviously, those who fornicate often use
some type of contraception, and, if that fails,
they can always have the unborn child killed
through abortion.
contraception hasn't made for better
marriages," concludes Smith.
Indeed. Now
consider that the divorce/separation rate for
married couples who use Natural Family Planning -
that is, periodic abstinence from sexual
intercourse is less than one in eight,
according to Dr. Brian Clowes of Human Life
Sadly, many
married couples are either ignorant of Natural
Family Planning methods or have been duped into
using contraception by the abortion industry,
pop-culture, and not a few "mainstream"
It boggles
my mind, too, that so many health-conscious
people will buy all kinds of "natural"
products so that they dont have to put
"chemicals" into their bodies, but seem
to have no qualms about using artificial and even
poisonous means of contraception. Not to mention
that most so-called contraceptives are actually
abortifacients, that is, they can and do cause an
early abortion by preventing implantation of the
living human embryo into the uterine lining.
Look, I do
realize there are many factors that can
contribute to a divorce. But I would submit that
if married couples would use Natural Family
Planning instead of contraception, far fewer of
them would end up in divorce court.
even Rush would still be married.

I have one last appointment with my current practice at the end of the month before I move in April. I'm trying to figure out if I should bring a little something for the doctor/staff.

DH was actually the one who suggested bringing something to say thanks. What do you ladies think?

The Breakfast Club (Continued)
By order of the principal they must each write a 1,000-word essay explaining who they think they are, and they get "the brain" – Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) – to do it. During the first half, Allison (Ally Sheedy), "the basket case," rarely speaks, except for random outbursts, adding to her strange persona.
As the day evolves, the students gradually open up to each other and learn that the grass may not always be greener on the other side. Everyone reveals secrets about themselves and admits to having difficult relationships with their parents. As the hours pass, the stereotypes begin to fade. You see each reveal insecurities and discuss their pressures.

27-Year Industry Veteran Named to Oversee Technical Operations for the Growing Airline

An industry veteran with more than 27 years of hands on experience in air carrier operations, line and base maintenance, fleet management, regulatory compliance and quality assurance, Bianchi will oversee the growing airline's technical operations.
Bianchi most recently served as Vice President / General Manager at MRO Standard Aero's Los Angeles International Airport facility. Prior to that, he served as Executive and Senior Vice President of Aircraft Maintenance for NetJets from 2006-2010, where he oversaw a fleet of 425 aircraft and more than 500 employees. Bianchi first joined NetJets in 2004, and during his time there led new efficiency efforts that resulted in improved maintenance durations and reliability.
Bianchi's experience also spans an 18-year tenure at US Airways, where he held positions in maintenance control, fleet management and line and base maintenance. Bianchi ultimately served as Senior Manager/Director of Regulatory Compliance and Quality Assurance for US Airways and US Airways Express. In this position, he also served as the company's Federal Aviation Administration liaison on maintenance regulatory issues.
Bianchi began his career in aviation on the front line as a mechanic and lead mechanic for Butler Aviation, Midway Airlines and Piedmont Airlines. He holds an Associate's Degree in Applied Sciences from the College of Aeronautics in New York and is a licensed A & P mechanic and General Electric Six Sigma Green belt.

Warning Signs
Please obey all warning signs in the park. They are there for your safety and to protect the park's resources. Do not touch any of the formations in the cave and especially do not do like this lady did.
- National/State Park
- Eco-Tourism
Cave Restrictions
The first thing we saw (after a school group which the ranger said was 'little kids' in 4th or 5th grade, but looked to Bob and me like the 7th graders that we used to teach) was a sign saying that you could take no packages of any sort into the cave.
* No camera bags,
* No fanny packs,
* No diaper bags,
* No purses,
* No backpacks.
When I asked they said it was because of homeland security, which is absolutely ridiculous. I mean if I wanted to I could strap stuff to my body - I wouldn't have to carry a knapsack. (Although the sign also said
* no firearms,
* no knives,
* no pepper spray,
* no mace,
* no stun guns or other weapons.
I guess a bomb would count as a weapon. I see no reason to carry weapons into the cave but I can see plenty of reasons to carry a camera bag or water container.
So Bob was already POed at the idea of going back to the car with his little tiny fanny pack that he carries his camera in. And I thought that the idea that some homeland security could be impacted by carrying a diaper bag into the cave was pretty silly. I'm sure that's not the reason, but I couldn't get the ranger to tell me what the real reason was.
According to the website: Interested members of the public can join an Earthwatch.org sponsored field survey of the history of Mammoth Cave http://www.earthwatch.org/expeditions/crothers.html. However, due to Mammoth Cave park regulations, participation on this project is restricted to US citizens only.
- Road Trip
- Eco-Tourism
- National/State Park
You can't take it with you!!
The following items are not allowed to be taken along with you on the cave tours:
1. Bags of any kind - camera bags, purses, diaper bags, luggage, backpacks or fanny packs, or child carriers.
*Bags that contain special medicinal supplies are permitted (e.i. insultin), but must be approved at visitor center first.
2. Strollers
3. Walking canes or sticks are allowed only when sufficient need is demonstrated.
4. No Weapons
*If you do happen to bring any of these above items, just leave them in your car or use a locker that they have at the visitor center.
You can take a camera with you, but it must fit in a pocket. And even though they say no flash photography, they will allow you. Just don't use flash photography on any animal cave life.
- National/State Park
- Backpacking
Difficult Photography
Photography in the caves, or good pictures in the caves are almost impossible! It is so dark that it is hard to get a good photo. Plus most of the time the pictures become blurred because of the lack of light since you can't bring a tripod, but that would be such a bother anyway. I just try to hold my camera as still as I possibly could, which was very hard.
And the info says that you can't use a flash, that isn't true.
- National/State Park
- Photography
$5,000 fine!
While canoeing in the green river be careful not to take any mussel shells, whether they are empty or not! If the rangers catch you, they'll fine you $5,000 each shell that you have! I don't know the reason why they are so strict about this. Just don't do it!
- Sailing and Boating
- Kayaking
- Eco-Tourism
Deer everywhere!
So you may notice they have a huge deer population! As dusk begins they come out of the forest by herds. At night be very careful when you are driving through the park because they are literally moving around everywhere! I can't describe exactly what a strange feeling it is to see about 100 while driving 1/2 mile down the road. They are not scared of humans at all, so they won't move when you are driving and they'll let you get very close to them. During the day you will see some napping on the sides of the roads or trying to find food around the camp grounds!
- National/State Park
Was it really worth it?
Damage and History:
Back in the 1900's Mr. Morrison whom owned the land where the frozen Niagara tour is located, began giving tours once he found the cave and blasted an openning in the side of the hill. On this side of the cave system it is the most wet, and in the wet conditions stalactites and stalagmites can be formed. With Mr. Morrison's concern with money and without knowledge of these amazing formations, he would let people break off the ends of the stalactites/stalagmites as suveniors and charge them for it. What Mr. Morrison didn't realize is that it takes 800 yrs to build 1 inch of the formations! As you walk through the cave today you will see broken ends on many formations, but lucky for us they didn't break all of them!
If you look closely at the formation next to my friend in the picture you can see several broken stalactites!
- National/State Park
Don't write it in Stone!
This tip is a little history and conservation in one. In the Historic Tour, you will see many names written onto the walls and ceilings, for 2 reasons. The first being that when people use to work in there, the salt mines, they would write their names to show who had been there. Then the second was people that would later take tours, the families that ran the caves would let people write their names and charge a fee to make extra money. For obvious reasons they don't allow that today, but you maybe quite surprised with all of the graffiti through out the cave. It was interesting to see the dates that the people wrote with their names, dating back to the early 1800's .
- National/State Park
Use caution on the trails in the summer.
This is heavily wooded, hilly, limestone country. Cellphone coverage is really bad. Some areas of the Park are remote and not easy to get to or out of in an emergency. Be very aware of snakes in the summer. Have gas in the car and food/snacks and water for yourself. There are a lot of established trails / bike paths. Use them.
You are not Ol' Daniel Boone. Do not carve on the trees.
In response to a question about the names found on the walls of the Cave, our tour guide said " We regard graffiti made before Mammoth Cave became a National Park as historic graffiti, anything made after that date is referred to as a FEDERAL OFFENSE!"
And they mean it! The Park Rangers are very serious about protecting the Park and the Cave.

Bring a jacket
No matter what time of year you visit, the cave will always be 54 degrees F. If you take the strenuous walking tours, it's not so bad (I sweated even at 54 degrees with the River Styx tour), but if it's a slower paced tour with frequent stopping, I definitely suggest a sweatshirt or a jacket.
We were there this past weekend (9/24-25, 2005) and it was hot and muggy outside, but we had our jackets for the cave. If you bring your children, make sure they have something warm to put on in case they get a chill inside the cave.
Stay with the group!
Getting lost in a cave can be any tourist's worst nightmare. Guided tours have 2 rangers, one at the front of the line, and one at the back. This way, they are there to ensure everyone in the group remains together at all times. Do NOT stray from the group. If you do, you risk getting lost & it can take a day if not more to find you. And when they do find you, you will be fined for trespassing on federal property.
No backpacks allowed
The park service has a new rule (as of 2005) that no backpacks, purses or even fanny packs are allowed in the tours. You are allowed to bring anything that you can fit in your pants or jacket pockets, but the guides recommend that you travel light, especially if you're doing the Intro to Caving Tour and will advise you not to bring water bottles or cameras as its difficult to get a good shot while in the cave. The Wild Cave Tour allows small backpacks for lunch and water, but everyone else is restricted.
- National/State Park
Wear Durable Shoes
The hard packed dirt trails in the cave are somewhat rough and uneven and can be slippery when wet. There are numerous stairs and some steep inclines on many cave tours so, make sure your shoes are flat soled, treaded, and comfortable! Be advised that some longer, more strenuous tours require certain footwear - ie: NO ATHLETIC SHOES!!
- National/State Park
- Hiking and Walking
- Family Travel
Not really a danger, but taking pictures inside the cave is very tricky...even with the best equipment! In the larger caverns, light dissipates so even with high speed film, your pictures will be dark. Don't even try to take a photo of something more than 10 feet away. Tripods and monopods are NOT permitted inside the cave! Flash photography is discouraged on lantern tours as the flash will blind everyone on that tour!! Video cameras with lights are permitted, but it is at the discretion of the guide whether or not it is being invasive. The trails are lit, so it's best to take pictures where there are lights!
- Family Travel
- Hiking and Walking
- National/State Park
When Canoeing.....
Be aware when canoeing the Green River, the banks are mostly steep! If you should happen to tip, it could be a while before you can find an area to turn your canoe and get back in. While there are some obstacles, the river is wide enough that you should be able to navigate around in plenty of time! When canoeing with children, make sure they understand the importance of sitting in the middle and not making any sudden moves!! We had no problems and completed our 7.5 mile journey in 2 hours!!

Audiophile PC!
I have recently (well not too recently) started a new chapter in my musical journey and started to move/moved most of my music collection to a PC based digital setup/source/transport. In other words goodbye to the good old tape player, CD player or even a budget DVD player or any of the countless universal players that play anything from Audio CDs to MP3, to DVD Audio and Video. Instead the PC becomes (rather has become) the pièce de résistance in my musical setup consisting of the transport and a centralized location to store all the Audio CD rips in lossless formats like FLAC, WAV, etc. Of course this does lead to the requirement of increased HDD space especially if the music is ripped in lossless formats like FLAC/WAV etc. but it's worth the effort and the increased need for space since it means I have all my music collection on hand whenever I want to listen to anything, I don't need to go around hunting for the tapes and CDs and even more so the tapes and CDs all originals are safe and don't run the risk of getting cut, broken, or scratched. I also read up a lot on how to make the PC sound better (rather how to make music sound better on the PC) and there's tons of information on this on the internet. That's understandable since audiophiles and music lovers all over are finding out that a PC with the right soundcard and powered speakers will not only give a CD player a run for its money, but beat most CD players many times over its price range. Here is a selection of some of the articles that I have read and can recommend. I will also be sharing more on this topic as the days go on and share more about my adventures with the Audiophile PC.

By definition, there can be no milk in dark chocolate. For this recipe, choose a mildly sweet chocolate. If the label states cocoa solids (also called chocolate liquor), select one that contains at least 35%. However, the higher the percentage of cocoa solids, the more bitter the chocolate will be.
The fruit pieces need to be dry when dipping them into the fondue. If they're slightly wet, the chocolate might not stick as well.

The Rams need to focus on re-building a once proud franchise, not on season long damage control.
Printable View
The Rams need to focus on re-building a once proud franchise, not on season long damage control.
Fire him? You guys kidding me? I see no reason why we should do anything of the sort for two reasons.
1. This happened with the saints
2. This is a common place thing that happens in the NFL... Goddell is going to use Williams as a example and scapegoat in his own self rightousness.
I'm telling every team including our Rams have done this within the last decade...
I voted to wait until the league imposes its penalties, then deciding what to do with Williams. You don't just up and fire a guy for something he did in a previous job. That would seem like a hasty attempt to save face, and we all know that's not really Kroenke's MO. Barring an extended suspension from the league, I think Williams will be brought back. The story is disappointing, but its not the black mark on the Rams organization that some people are making it out to be. I'd say it affects the integrity of the Saints, and NFL culture as a whole more than it does the Rams.
And the hits just keep coming. Now there are former Bills players who are saying Williams had a bounty system that paid players for injuring opponents. From an ESPN article:
This thing just continues to escalate and it looks like the NFL is going to keep on investigating. Do the Rams really want to be a part of this?Quote:
Meanwhile, former Buffalo Bills safety Coy Wire told The Buffalo News that Williams promoted bonuses for injuring opponents while he was the head coach in Buffalo.
"There was financial compensation," Wire told the newspaper, which also cited three other anonymous defensive players who confirmed the existence of a bounty program during Williams' time with the Bills.
Regardless of the punishment, I think The Rams have to fire him. Leaving the moral question aside (which I find hard to do), what's to be gained by keeping this guy other than a cloud of suspicion hanging over the team & quite possibly putting current & future Rams at risk of onfield retaliation since it seems that a lot of players (Warner, Troy Brown, for egs) even think a pretty serious line was crossed with the payments for causing injury.
And who really thinks it's a certainty, knowing what we know about Fisher's ultra-aggressive style, that this wasn't happening in Tenn as well, with or without his direct participation ? If the code of silence/denial among Titan players is broken, The Rams could be looking for a new HC as well. It's even harder to believe that Fisher didn't know about the system his BFF, Williams, employed at every other team where he worked for more than a year or that this scandal was looming. The lateral move to the Rams always seemed odd to me, their friendship notwithstanding.Not, however, buying the argument that having McGinnis onboard in proof that Fisher knew about the scandal. There are former coordinators and HCs working in subordinate positions on teams across the league.
I also think the Spags hiring by NO makes it look like the Saints HC/FO knew it was coming as well. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the squeaky clean Spagnuolo is the Saints head coach before the start of the season.Sounds like Benson has thrown Loomis to the wolves & these e-mails connecting Payton to Bush's shady agent are almost more serious than the in-house pay-4-injury thing,imo. We are talking about game-fixing there.
I'd be tempted to wait and see what the league does in response to their investigation before making a decision, but I wouldn't blame the Rams for cutting ties prior to that. This is a pretty bad PR situation, even though it happened with another team.
I think you guys are over-reacting
Gregg Williams wanted his players to play smash mouth (literally) football. He did it the complete wrong way by this whole "bounty" scandal.
As reported he has agreed to speak to the NFL inc. rodger godell about the whole situation and that likely means his penalty won't be that severe since he is cooperating with the league
Also anything about a suspension will be regular season games; so he will be able to coach during camp and pre-season to lay out the schemes and mcginnis can coach the games williams might be suspended for.
No i dont want a bounty; but i do want our D to play smash mouth football after spags pansy defense; so i want Williams no matter what.
Number one, Sean Payton is not going to be fired. This is the equivalent of killing an ant with a sledgehammer. The Saints will be fined as an organization and will probably lose some draft picks. As head coach, he'll take a PR hit for not having better organizational control. Payton will distance himself from this episode, and with the principal orchestrator (Williams) gone, that won't be hard to do. Secondly, to raise the question of Jeff Fisher possibly being somehow involved with such a scheme when Williams was in Tennesssee is terribly irresponsible. It is salacious speculation at best and outright character assassination at worst. Jeff Fisher has NEVER been linked to anything even remotely inappropriate during his tenure as a coach. And third, I don't believe Saints Owner Tom Benson has thrown anyone to the wolves. His reputation spanning decades in the league is excellent.
The thing I find ironic is that no one is assessing blame to a group of people who are as culpable as anyone and that is the players' union. If this was as widespread as some would have us believe, why didn't more players speak out against it? Why would players knowingly allow a coach in the league to run a system in three different cities which encouraged injuring their fellow players? Seems to me if they were that concerned about each other as the union always leads you to believe, this would have been exposed a lot sooner. I have absolutely no tolerance for players who keep their mouths shut and only spill "secrets" when they're traded, waived or have a personal axe to grind.
Dang, I'm glad I don't have friends like you guys, at the first sign of trouble you are ready to jump ship. This is sad.
I personally think it will be a mistake to fire the guy now, and IMO a mistake to fire him at all. What Rams need to care about is doing what it takes to start winning football games, keeping Williams would fit that agenda. And for those that suggest he is going to continue the practice, is an absurd notion after the sh*t storm he is about to recieve.
As Avenger pointed out, Mcginnis can fill in on a temp basis
EXACTLY thanks manofgod... you guys act like he's gonna do it again.. he may be dirty but sheesh we might need this toughness in the lou.. if anything we can cut ties with him if he doesnt do good this season
I was on the fence about this originally, believing that we should wait until the league hands down it's verdict. But I have come to the conclusion that firing him now may be the best thing this organization can do for itself.
I believe that as long as Greg Williams is running our defense, we will be under an inordinate amount of scrutiny. Fair or not.
God forbid anybody gets hurt and has to leave the game following direct contact from one of our defensive players.
Everybody in a Rams uniform will be under a microscope, and that alone may adversely affect how we play defense. We may become the softest defense in the league for trying to difuse the overall perception of Greg Williams.
Or conversely, we may become the most penalized for what may be borderline to legitimate hits. Either way, it's bad for us.
So to that end, it may be better to cut ties before this thing begins.
Look. If Williams were to somehow survive this and then start up a bounty program here and the NFL were to find out (don't feed me that "he wouldn't be that dumb" crap. He is based on what evidence the NFL is providing), we'd be facing another lost decade after the NFL was done with us. No thanks.

Awakening in God's Love: Exploring the Christian Spirituality of Evelyn Underhill
Saturday, February 19, 2011
8:30 a.m.- 3:00 p.m.
St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church
1790 LaVista Rd., Atlanta, GA 30329
Acclaimed as one of the greatest spiritual writers of the twentieth century, Evelyn Underhill recovered the rich heritage of Christian mysticism and interpreted it for ordinary people as the spiritual life — life lived from the center, where one is anchored in God.
In the year 2011, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of her pioneering work, Mysticism: The Study of the Nature and Development of Man's Spiritual Consciousness. A writer and spiritual director, Evelyn Underhill was the first woman to offer a retreat in Canterbury Cathedral and the first to lecture at Oxford University. Honored as a saint in the Anglican communion, her prolific writing endures, giving inspiration to those who recognize the need for contemplative living.
"Evelyn Underhill: Forerunner of Contemporary Spirituality"
Keynote Speaker: Dana Greene
Evelyn Underhill reclaimed the Christian mystical tradition and translated it as the spiritual life for ordinary people. As such she was a precursor of the resurgence in contemplative practice today. Underhill is a woman for our times whose vocation was to proclaim to her contemporaries and to us: "there is a splendor burning in the heart of things."
Historian and biographer, Dana Greene is and Underhill scholar, Dean Emerita of Oxford College of Emory University, and editor and author of seven books including Evelyn Underhill: Artist of the Infinite Life. She is a graduate of the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation, having served on its Board for many years, and she is currently president of the Evelyn Underhill Association (www.evelynunderhill.org), and writes for The National Catholic Reporter. Most recently, she served as executive director of the Aquinas Center of Theology at Emory University. Her other books on Underhill, Fragments from an Inner Life: The Notebooks of Evelyn Underhill and Evelyn Underhill: Modern Guide to the Ancient Quest for the Holy are out of print.
Guest Speakers will include:
Carl McColman
Carl is the author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism, The Lion, the Mouse and the Dawn Treader and the "Website of Unknowing" blog about Christian spirituality and mysticism (www.anamchara.com). He is a graduate of the Shalem Institute's Program for Contemplative Group Leaders and is a Lay Associate of the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia.
Margaret B. Ingraham
Recipient of an Academy of American Poets Award, the 2006 Sam Ragan Prize, and several poetry Fellowships from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Margaret (Peggy) Ingraham is the author of This Holy Alphabet and a chapbook, Proper Words for Birds (number 65 in the New Women's Voices series from Finishing Line Press). Her poetry appears regularly in a wide variety of national literary journals.

Reinickendorf hotels
Located in the northwest of Berlin, Reinickendorf is known for its quaint churches and houses. The history of the area dates back to the 13th century, but Reinickendorf didn't see a significant increase in population until the 19th century, when direct rail access was established with Berlin. In the 1920's the area saw rapid development and became known for its "White City," which is a tract of modernist housing estates that are now a World Heritage site.
- Take a stroll around Lake Tegel, the second largest lake in Berlin, and see a bevy of wildlife without straying too far from the bustle of the city.
- Admire the quaint stone design of the Village Church, an idyllic church set against a backdrop of trees and green spaces that create a perfect sanctuary for deep thought.
- Visit the Tegel Palace, a beautiful Renaissance manor house that once belonged to the Humboldt family and now contains a small museum that tells the family's history in Berlin.
Berlin boasts some of the best public transportation in the world and the Reinickendorf area is well connected to it. The S-bahn has two nearby stops, the Schonholz and Wilhelmsruh station, and the U-bahn has six stops spread throughout the area. Reinickendorf is one of the greenest areas of Berlin, featuring many parks, lakes, and a river. Getting around on foot is the best way to enjoy the lush scenery. The Berlin Tegel Airport is located in Reinickendorf and has direct transport to the cite centre of Berlin via train and bus.

A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for Duck Creek, Madison, Tipton, and Hamilton counties, Indiana
Open-File Report 80-156
- By:
- Charles G. Crawford, William G. Wilber, and James G. Peters
- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractThe Indiana State Board of Health is developing a State water-quality plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in Duck Creek was used to develop alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream water-quality standards defined for two critical hydrologic conditions, summer and winter low flows. The major point-source waste load affecting Duck Creek is the Elwood wastewater-treatment facility. Natural streamflow during the low flow is zero, so no benefit from dilution is provided. Natural reaeration at the low-flow condition (approximately 3 cubic feet per second), also low, is estimated to be less than 1 per day (base e at 20 Celsius). Consequently, the wasteload assimilative capacity of the stream is low. Effluent ammonia-nitrogen concentrations, projected by the Indiana State Board of Health, will result in stream ammonia-nitrogen concentrations that exceed the State ammonia-nitrogen toxicity standards (2.5 milligrams per liter from April to October and 4.0 milligrams per liter from November through March). The projected effluent ammonia-nitrogen load will also result in the present Indiana stream dissolved-oxygen standard (5.0 milligrams per liter) not being met. Benthic-oxygen demand may also affect stream water quality. During the summer low-flow, a benthic-oxygen demand of only 0.6 gram per square meter per day would utilize all the streams 's available assimilative capacity. (USGS)

Effective April 14, 2014, Ohio will transition its GED® credentialing process from the issuance of paper transcripts and GED® diplomas to a paperless electronic transcript system. As with any new process, there will be changes and questions. This FAQ will assist adult education administrators to prepare for this change.
GED Credentialing™ is a full-service program that Ohio will use to outsource all fulfillment requests for transcripts and diplomas. The service includes fulfillment for new graduates and historical requests dating back to 1947.
Back to Top
GED Credentialing™ is an end-to-end service for Ohio's GED® programs that eliminates the administrative burden of fulfilling requests for secure duplicate transcripts and diplomas.
Free service: Ohio selected GED Credentialing™ as part of the 2014 GED® program. There is no additional cost for GED Credentialing™.
Full-service : Ohio's contract with GED Credentialing™ will provide service for both first-time and historical transcript requests.
Secure: GED Credentialing™ uses the services of Parchment, a secure, electronic transcript fulfillment for high schools nationwide.
GED credentialing services are completely free to Ohio's GED® programs as part of the 2014 GED® initiative.
Students receive their initial transcript and diploma for free after completing the 2014 GED® test. For each repeat or historical request, the individual or organization making the request (e.g. past student, employer, school, employment verification firm) pays a $15 fee.
No, GED Credentialing™ is an all-inclusive service. All must use GED Credentialing™ for both new and historical transcripts and diplomas.
Yes. Ohio has contracted with GED Testing Service to fulfill Ohio test-taker requests for the Ohio GED® diploma and the Smart Transcript from GED Testing Service.
No, GED Credentialing™ fulfills requests for Ohio's GED® diplomas and the Smart Transcript from GED Testing Service. The Ohio Department of Education remains the issuing agency. The diplomas and transcripts feature Ohio's official signatures and design.
No, GED Testing Service is partnering with Parchment, a secure, electronic transcript (eTranscript) exchange. For more information, visit http://www.parchment.com/.
As soon as test takers pass the GED® test, they receive a secure, electronic PDF document delivered to their email address. The document will include their Smart Transcript and an electronic copy of their Ohio GED® diploma. A 2014 tester has an option of ordering a professionally printed GED® diploma free of charge.
The Smart Transcript is an electronic transcript that not only provides an Ohio test taker's scores, but also includes links to the GED Testing Service Web site with additional information regarding what the GED® test measures, what the scores mean, and what skills the test taker demonstrated on the test. This includes information about earning a GED® Passing Score and the GED® Passing Score with Honors.
GED® test takers will receive a Smart Transcript. GED Credentialing™ uses Smart Transcripts to fulfill all transcript requests, including historical requests. Smart Transcripts are customized based on the GED® test series and explain the scoring and types of content tested on the 2014 GED® test and older versions of the GED® test.
Test takers can sign in to the GED Credentialing™ Web site to easily and securely order their duplicate transcripts or diplomas. If a match is found in the database, your electronic transcript will be delivered on the same day. If a match is not found immediately, a manual search will be done. It may take a few days to fulfill the request. The test taker will be notified when this situation arises.
With a few exceptions, GED Credentialing™ has Ohio test taker data dating back to 1947.
Yes, students can forward the free electronic transcript they received in their email inbox directly to potential colleges and employers.
No. Effective April 1, 2014, all requests for duplicate transcripts and diplomas must be handled through GED Credentialing™. As a recipient of a GED diploma, your community college can sign up for Parchment's FREE receive service to easily obtain the secure, electronic diplomas. Please visit http://exchange.parchment.com/highered-reg/ to learn more about the FREE service.
In order to fulfill historical transcript requests, GED Testing Service will work with Ohio to safely and securely acquire all student data including:
- A copy of all electronic data; and
- Original copies of all physical data (such as paper, microfiche or card stock).
Ohio owns all data. Parchment merely stores the data in order to fulfill transcript and diploma requests on behalf of the state. If Ohio should cancel its agreement with GED Credentialing™, GED Testing Service will return all data to the Ohio Department of Education free of charge.
All electronic data is stored through a secure website. Physical records are stored at a secured facility where requests will be sent for manual fulfillment.
All Ohio GED® credentialing documents, including transcripts and diplomas, are secure. The electronic delivery system uses Parchment's patented Blue Ribbon™ Security system, which is more secure than delivering a physical, paper copy.
GED Credentialing™ uses Blue Ribbon™ Security, a secure delivery system developed and patented by Parchment. Blue Ribbon™ Security guarantees the document sent to the recipient has not been altered. Each electronic transcript and diploma contains a diploma code, which is then validated against Parchment's database to verify all content is the same as the original document that was sent out. The recipient can easily assess the integrity of a transcript or diploma by noting the presence of a blue ribbon indicating the document is authentic and trustworthy or a red X indicating the document has been altered.
Parchment currently works with more than 4,000 colleges. More than a third of all high school diplomas are delivered by Parchment using this security process. Ohio community colleges can sign up for Parchment's FREE receive service to easily obtain the secure, electronic diplomas. Every electronic transcript will contain a cover letter explaining the Blue Ribbon™ Security to colleges and employers.
If you or your students are interested in learning more about GED Credentialing™ and the Smart Transcript, contact your local adult education program or visit gedtestingservice.com/credentialing.
There are new scoring requirements that an applicant must achieve to earn an Ohio GED®.
The GED® test will have a passing score of 150 for each subject. Therefore, students will need to reach a score of at least 150 on each subject and a total score of 600 or higher across all four subjects in order to receive the GED® test credential. Students may also earn an "Honors" score if they receive a score of 170 or higher on any subject. See below for the full score scale:
Additional information can be found at: http://www.gedtestingservice.com/educators/2014-faqs
The four subjects tested on the GED® are Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA), Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. All tests are based on a 12th-grade curriculum, and are aligned with the CORE Standards.
GED® preparation materials are available in most public libraries, in many bookstores, in adult education centers (free classes), or on the Internet by doing a GED® search.
For more information about GED® preparation, e-mail email@example.com.
Ohio's GED® office is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Customer service for phones are between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office is closed on state holidays and week-ends.
Per HB 483 - Effective Date: September 17, 2014

Beginning in 2014, the cost of the GED test is $120.
Ohio's new state budget will keep the test cost at $40 for first-time GED test takers in 2014 - FY16, June 30, 2016. Test takers must be an Ohio Resident and answer "yes" to receiving career and educational guidance from their local Career Technical Planning District (CTPD) Office. Once the test taker contacts the CTPD Office, they will be provided a voucher worth up to $80.00 to go towards the $120.00 application fee. The voucher will expire on June 30, 2016. All four sections of the test must be completed prior to the expiration date of June 30, 2016.

Toy Train Magnet Collar
by ex-nerd, published
Thing Info
Plastic collar to wrap around front/rear magnets on Brio style toy trains.
Design is based on the style used by Thomas and Brio brand trains, with the base of the cup between the magnet and the train.
If you really want to produce an over-magnet version similar to what the BigJigs brand uses, just call magnet_collar(false). However, by placing a layer of plastic between the magnet and nail head, you considerably diminish the magnet's ability to hold your train cars together.
Measurements are based on parts from Cherry Tree Toys.
- magnet: http://www.cherrytreetoys.com/Ceramic-Magnet-P3616.aspx
- nail: http://www.cherrytreetoys.com/Nickel-Plated-Round-Head-Nail-P6052.aspx
Note that they changed suppliers and the nails you receive will not be barbed like the one in the photo.
Find the latest versions of this and other related designs at https://github.com/ex-nerd/3d
Print and enjoy.
I'll eventually get enough parts printed to do a writeup about how to put together a whole wooden train.
