The Willard Solair is a four-door station wagon featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. It is similar to the Stratum, but much less appealing, due to a more "family" oriented design and somewhat inferior performance.
GTA San Andreas
Design and performance
The Solair in GTA San Andreas resembles a second generation Ford Taurus station wagon. However, the rear of the car also has a certain likeness to a Volvo 940 wagon or the station wagon variant of the VR model Holden Commodore, although it is very unlikely that Rockstar Games would have modeled the car on an Australian car that's not very well known in the U.S.[citation/verification needed] Despite its unappealing appearance, the Solair possesses above average performance, with good cornering and grip (complemented by soft suspensions), moderately good brakes, good acceleration and top speed (quite surprisingly higher than the Stratum's) and average endurance. Its suspension configuration, however, may lead to a higher risk of rollovers if the vehicle encounters bumps or uneven terrain when being steered.
- The Solair can be modified at any TransFenders.

DesignIn Grand Theft Auto IV, the Willard Solair resembling a fourth generation Mercury Sable. The taillights was to be inspired from an eighth generation Lincoln Continental, however the general shape is still similar to the Taurus; unlike the Taurus, however, it has a more modern and luxurious appearance given by the doorhandles, bumpers and miscellaneous chrome. The car also bears "EP2000R" badges on the side.
The Solair is a hefty station wagon, powered by a 3.0 liter V6 like a 2000-2004 Mercury Sable or a 2000-2007 Ford Taurus , coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is mediocre, slightly slower than its competition. Top speed however is slightly higher, thanks to a relatively high-torque engine delivering 155 mph (250 km/h). Handling-wise, the Solair retains much of its inspiration's characteristics, being quite sporty for a full-sized wagon, with good posture in the bends and relatively level cornering.
The suspension is fairly soft, leading to body roll, though very little oversteer can be felt. Crash deformation, thanks to the heavy chassis and frame, is well above average, sustaining much damage before failing; though engine build quality is unimpressive, with it failing after only a few impacts. Overall the Solair is better suited towards ramming and drive-bys than high-speed applications.
- In GTA San Andreas, the front of the Solair is very similar to the front of the Stratum, another station wagon. People who play the game infrequently often get the two cars confused, however, the Stratum has a more streamlined form.
- Due to a graphical error in San Andreas (Confirmed for PS2), when foggy the exhaust isn't on the muffler, it appears to be stuck in the bumper. The exhausts position depends on the weather. Although this might not always happen. Another bug with the exhaust is on PC, when you take the car to mod shop and respray it, the exhaust will move inside the bumper similar to in PS2.
- The Solair in GTA IV is also a very powerful car, making it a good car for cop chases, racing, or drifting.
- In its appearances in GTA San Andreas and GTA IV, the Solair plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- GTA San Andreas: WCTR
- GTA IV: IF99 - International Funk or K109 The Studio.
GTA San Andreas
- Can be found driving anywhere around the State of San Andreas.
- Commonly spawns driving around San Fierro, especially in the Doherty area.

A county office building, that's been closed since the first of the month, will reopen next week.
Pitt County's Development Services Building on West 5th Street was closed February 1st because of a strange odor. Those that work in environmental health, planning, permitting, veteran services and engineering were moved into another building while tests were done.
County Manager Scott Elliott says the building is now safe for employees and the public to re-enter. He said limited asbestos abatement was performed in the building, air quality was tested as well as addressing the building's exterior for moisture control.
Elliott says before employees move back in, the county plans to thoroughly clean the inside of the building. The county manager said other complaints about rodents and ventilation in bathrooms were unfounded, according to OSHA.

Creates a new table.
where column-definition is:
and column-constraint-definition is:
and table-constraint-definition is:
and references is:
and update-rule is:
and delete-rule is:
A new table is created as specified.
If table-name is specified in its unqualified form, the table will be created in the schema which has the same name as the current ident.
If table-name is specified in its fully qualified form (i.e. schema-name.table-name) the table will be created in the named schema (in this case, the current ident must be the creator of the specified schema).
The table definition includes a list of column-definition's and table-constraint-definition's.
The table must be created in a databank on which the current ident has TABLE privilege.
If IN databank-name is not specified, the system will choose a databank on which the user has TABLE privilege. If more than one such databank exists, databanks created by the current ident are chosen in preference to others and the databank with the most secure transaction option is chosen (i.e. a databank with LOG option would be chosen in preference to one with TRANSACTION option and one with TRANSACTION option in preference to one with WORK option).
The new table is empty until data is inserted.
Column Definitions
The columns will appear in the table in the order specified. Each column name must be unique within the table. Column formats may be specified either by explicit data type, see Data Types in SQL Statements, or by specifying the name of a domain to which the column will belong. In the latter case, all the properties of the domain apply to the column.
A default value can be defined for the column by specifying default-value in column-definition or by having the column belong to a domain for which a default value is defined. A default value specified in default-value will take precedence over a domain default value and the data type of the value specified in default-value must conform to the data type of the column.
The default value will be assigned to a column whenever an INSERT is performed with no explicit value supplied. If the defined default value does not conform to other constraints, e.g. a CHECK constraint, then an INSERT must supply a value.
The COLLATE Clause
In order to enable string data comparison and ordering, you can specify a COLLATE clause for a column.
A collation specified in the column-definition will take precedence over a domain collation.
By doing so, the collation defined will always considered in clauses such as WHERE, ORDER BY and GROUP BY, as well as when using relational and comparison operators. For more information, see the Mimer SQL User's Manual, Collations.
Table Constraints
One or more constraints may be defined on the table, either by specifying a column-constraint-definition in a column-definition or by the specifying a table-constraint-definition in the table element list.
All table constraints may be named by specifying a constraint-name in the column-constraint-definition or table-constraint-definition. If a constraint is defined without specifying an explicit name, an automatically generated name will be assigned to it.
Note: Automatically generated constraint names start with SQL_, so it is recommended that this initial character sequence be avoided when explicitly specifying a constraint name.
Constraint names are shown in the appropriate INFORMATION_SCHEMA views, see INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
The constraint name is used to identify a constraint when it is dropped using the ALTER TABLE statement. For more information, see ALTER TABLE.
NOT NULL Constraints
If this constraint is specified in a column-constraint-definition in the column-definition for a column, the column will not accept an attempt to insert the NULL value. (This constraint can also be effectively defined by specifying by a CHECK constraint for the table, see below, however this is not recommended because the column would not then be flagged as not accepting NULL values in any DESCRIBE functionality.)
PRIMARY KEY Constraint
One PRIMARY KEY can be defined for the table, composed of one or more of the table columns.
The same column must not occur more than once in the primary key.
A column that is a part of the primary key will implicitly be constrained as NOT NULL, regardless of any NOT NULL constraints explicitly defined on the table. The NULL value cannot, therefore, occur in a primary key column.
The purpose of a primary key is to define a key value that uniquely identifies each table row, therefore the primary key value for each row in the table must be unique.
The primary key value for a table row is the combined value of the column(s) making up the primary key. The column(s) of the primary key (and their order in the key) can be defined using the PRIMARY KEY clause in a table-constraint-definition.
If the primary key for the table is to be composed of only a single column, then it can be defined by specifying PRIMARY KEY in a column-constraint-definition in the column-definition for that column.
UNIQUE Constraints
One or more UNIQUE constraints can be defined on the table. A UNIQUE constraint defines a unique key for the table. A unique key is composed of one or more table columns, just like the primary key. A column must not occur more than once in the same unique key.
A unique key defines a key value that uniquely identifies each row in the table, therefore a table cannot contain two rows which have the same value for a unique key unless one or more of the columns are null.
A unique key must not be composed of the same set of column(s) (occurring in the same order) as either the primary key or an existing unique key defined for the table.
A unique key value for a table row is the combined value of the column(s) making up the unique key. The column(s) of the unique key (and their order in the key) can be defined using the UNIQUE clause in a table-constraint-definition.
If a unique key is to be composed of only a single column, then it can be defined by specifying UNIQUE in a column-constraint-definition in the column-definition for that column.
Note: Multiple occurrences of the NULL-value do not violate a UNIQUE constraint.
REFERENTIAL Constraints
A referential constraint defines a foreign key relationship between the table being created (the referencing table) and another table in the database (the referenced table).
A foreign key relationship exists between a key (the foreign key) in the referencing table and the primary key or one of the unique keys of the referenced table.
The foreign key in the referencing table is defined by using the FOREIGN KEY clause in table-constraint-definition and is composed of one or more columns of the referencing table. The same referencing table column cannot occur more than once in the foreign key.
The corresponding key in the referenced table is specified by using the REFERENCES clause in references. If a list of column names is not specified after the name of the referenced table, then the primary key of the referenced table is assumed.
More than one foreign key can be defined for a table and the same table column can occur in more than one of the foreign keys.
The name of the referenced table must be specified in its fully qualified form if the name of the schema to which it belongs is not the same as the current ident.
The i-th column in the referencing table foreign key corresponds to the i-th column in the specified key of the referenced table and both keys must be composed of the same number of columns.
The data type and data length of each column in the referencing table foreign key must be identical to the data type and data length of the corresponding column in the specified key of the referenced table.
The effect of a referential constraint is to constrain table data in a way that only allows a row in the referencing table which has a foreign key value that matches the specified key value of a row in the referenced table.
One or more of the columns in a foreign key may permit the NULL value (this will be the case if there is no NOT NULL constraint or equivalent CHECK constraint in effect for the column).
A referencing table row which has a foreign key value with the NULL value in at least one of the columns will always fulfil the referential constraint and therefore be acceptable as a row in the referencing table.
If all of the columns in a foreign key are constrained not to accept the NULL value, then the only rows that will be accepted in the referencing table are those with a foreign key value that already exists in the corresponding key of the referenced table.
Rules can be defined in references that specify an action to be performed on the affected row(s) of the referencing table when a DELETE or UPDATE operation in the referenced table causes a referential constraint to be violated (because rows would consequently exist in the referencing table those foreign key value did not match the corresponding key value of a row in the referenced table).
It is possible to explicitly specify ON UPDATE NO ACTION in update-rule (this will also be assumed by default if no update-rule is specified). This is to allow for future extensions to the Mimer SQL syntax.
The following actions can be specified in delete-rule:
- CASCADE - this will cause the affected rows of the referencing table to be deleted.
- SET NULL - the relevant foreign key columns of the affected rows in the referencing table will be set to the NULL value.
- SET DEFAULT - the relevant foreign key columns of the affected rows in the referencing table will be set to the value that would be applied to that column if an INSERT operation is performed without specifying an explicit value (i.e. column default, domain default or the NULL value).
- NO ACTION - an error will be raised because the referential constraint has been violated.
If a delete-rule is not specified, then the action NO ACTION is assumed.
A referential constraint can be defined by specifying a FOREIGN KEY clause in table-constraint-definition.
If a referencing table foreign key is to be composed of only a single column, then the referential constraint can be defined by specifying references in a column-constraint-definition in the column-definition for that column.
CHECK Constraints
One or more check constraints can be defined on the table, which will determine whether the changes resulting from an INSERT or UPDATE operation will be accepted or rejected.
The search-condition which defines the check constraint must not contain a select-specification, an invocation of a set function, a reference to a host variable or a non-deterministic expression.
If the search-condition of a check constraint specified in a table-constraint-definition contains column references, they must be columns in the table being created.
If the search-condition of a check constraint specified in a column-constraint-definition in a column-definition contains a column reference, it must be the column identified by column-name of the column-definition.
The search-condition of a check constraint defined on the table will be evaluated whenever a new row is inserted into the table and whenever an existing row is updated.
The values for any column reference(s) contained in the search-condition will be taken from the row being inserted or updated.
The data change operation will only be accepted if the search condition does not evaluate to false.
Language Elements
default-value, see Default Values.
search-condition, see Search Conditions.
CREATE TABLE requires TABLE privilege on the databank in which the table is to be created.
The table name must not be the same as the name of any other table, view or synonym belonging to the same schema.
If a domain name is specified for column-definition, USAGE privilege must be held on the domain.
Each table-constraint-definition can only be specified once in the CREATE TABLE statement.
If a UNIQUE constraint is defined on the table, it must be stored in a databank with the TRANSACTION or LOG option.
If a REFERENTIAL constraint is defined, both the referencing table and the referenced table must be stored in a databank with the TRANSACTION or LOG option.
A schema cannot contain two constraints with the same name.
The creator of the table must hold REFERENCES privilege on all the columns specified in references.
The name of a view cannot be specified for table-name in references.
When creating a table with a foreign key, you, the creator, must have exclusive access to the referenced table.
A column of LARGE OBJECT data type is not allowed in any type of table constraint.
The creator of the table is granted all access privileges to the table WITH GRANT OPTION.
In a REFERENTIAL constraint, the referenced table can be the same as referencing table. In this situation, the table data is constrained in a way that only allows the foreign key columns to contain key values that are already present in the referenced (primary or unique) key.
The action specified in the delete-rule of a REFERENTIAL constraint does not apply to columns in the referencing table that are already marked for deletion.
If a name is not specified for a table or column constraint, a system generated name is applied to it. System generated names will begin with SQL_ so it is recommended that this starting character sequence be avoided for explicitly specified constraint names.
The constraint characteristics INITIALLY IMMEDIATE NOT DEFERRABLE can be explicitly specified to ensure that constraints will be, by default, verified at the time the relevant data manipulation operation is performed rather than when the transaction is committed and that the verification may never be explicitly deferred until the time the transaction is committed. This is also the default behavior. (This is to allow for future extensions to the Mimer SQL syntax.)
The primary key and the unique keys for a table are not dissimilar in their function and they constrain data in the same way apart from the fact that primary key columns are always defined as not null, however a unique key should not be used instead of a primary key. One reason for this is that the primary key is handled more efficiently than the unique keys, so there is a performance advantage. See Relational Databases - Selected Writings by C. J. Date for a discussion of primary and unique keys.
ExampleCREATE TABLE eng_table (col_1 INTEGER, col_2 NCHAR(2000) COLLATE english_1, PRIMARY KEY (col_1));

Swimmers are not the only ones enjoying the beautiful Hawaiian waters.
This is amateur video shot in Honolulu that shows a shark swimming very close to shore. It appears to be about 8-feet long. A slightly smaller shark was spotted at another beach. Safety officials are urging people to stay out of the water!
It's hard to believe that just a few weeks ago, Cleo was on the verge of dying. The mischievous pup licked antifreeze and developed coolant poisoning. Cleo's vet had an unusual remedy. He hooked the dog up to a Vodka drip. There's toxins in that called Etholyn-Glycol and they're very, very harmful to the kidneys so what we need to do is give them alcohol and in this case, we gave her vodka to try and mop up some of those toxins. After a couple of days of treatment, she's back in action, hangover free.
Five cheetah cubs made their first public appearance at an Australian zoo this week. Sure they're cute and cuddly, but one day, they'll be among the fastest, fiercest animals on the planet. It's truly already amazing to see how fast they are, they're a remarkable creature.
They're from the zoo's first successful cheetah litter in nearly a decade.

Major Requirements
Sociology majors take six (6) required courses and four (4) elective courses, for a total of ten (10) courses.
The following six (6) courses are required of all Sociology majors:
- SOC1000 Ways of Seeing I: The Sociological Imagination
- SOC2000 Ways of Seeing II: Social Inequality – Class, Gender, and Race (Spring)
- SOC3000 Ways of Thinking: Social Theory (Fall)
- SOC3100 Ways of Knowing I: Research Methods (Fall)
- SOC3550 Ways of Knowing II: Statistics (Spring)
- SOC4000 Ways of Practicing: Internship
The Department strongly recommends that Sociology majors take SOC3000, SOC3100, and SOC3550 by the end of their junior year.
Sociology majors' four (4) electives may be chosen from the following list of regularly offered courses:
- SOC2050 Social Work
- SOC3150 Social Movements
- SOC3300W Sociology of Education
- SOC3370 Urban Sociology
- SOC3400 Population Problems
- SOC3450 Sociology of the Family
- SOC3600 Sociology of Health
- SOC3800 Sociology of Gender
- SOC3850 Sociology of Aging
A maximum of two (2) of the four (4) electives may be taken from the following list of cognate courses:
- CRMXXXX Criminology courses (with approval of Sociology Department chair)
- HIS2329 American Social History
- HIS3390 Modern European Social History
- PHL2700 Philosophy of the Social Sciences (Prerequisite: PHL1000)
- POL2121 Public Administration and Public Policy (Prerequisite: POL1100)
- POL3122 Issues in Public Policy (Prerequisites: POL1100 and POL2121)
- POL3131 Polling and Public Opinion (Prerequisites: POL1100 and POL2000)
- PSY2200 Social Psychology (Prerequisite: PSY1000)
- PSY3250 Cultural Psychology (Prerequisite: PSY1000)
- WGS2010 Introduction to Ethnic Studies
- WGS2200 Gender and Social Movements
- WGS3100 Feminist Theory
- WGS3140 Studies in Masculinities
- WGS3250 Sex and Gender Studies
- WGS3420 Gender, Race and the Media
- WGS3830 Gender and Global Health
- WGS4100 Gender Studies
- WRT2020W Writing for Social Change
* * * * * * * * * *
In addition to the required and elective courses in Sociology, the Department recommends that students develop proficiency in a second language as part of their undergraduate curriculum. Languages in which there is a sociological literature and which are taught at Merrimack College include French, Italian, and Spanish. Sociology majors are also encouraged to pursue a course of study that involves a double major or a minor.
Sociology majors also have a wide choice, depending on career intentions, on selecting a minor. Often Sociology majors select a minor in one of the related social science departments such as Psychology, Political Science, Economics, or Women's Studies. But again, a major in Sociology may also decide to minor in a discipline outside the social sciences or outside the liberal arts either in business, or in the natural sciences. For those wishing to pursue a career in public health, for example, a double major or minor in Biology or Health Sciences makes sense. For those who wish to work in the area of human resources, a double major or minor in Business is a sensible option to consider. For students considering careers in social work or human services, a double major or minor in World Languages and Cultures, especially Spanish, is advisable. In today's post-modern, global society, the sociological perspective provides a valuable type of critical thinking and informed analysis that is increasingly required in other areas of study. In addition to the major and minor programs in the Department, Sociology students also may create a self-designed major that allows them to do interdisciplinary work with a strong sociological focus.
The required courses in Sociology provide a solid foundation for students who wish to pursue graduate study in Sociology. They also serve as an excellent preparation for students considering a graduate degree in law, public health, social work, gerontology, human services, public administration, human resources, criminal justice, or business.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For much of the week leading up to their game Sunday, the Broncos talked about Cam Newton's size and strength, his powerful arm and his running ability.
They talked about how difficult it is to get the Carolina Panthers' 6-foot-5, 245-pound quarterback to the ground. But in the spirit of one of coach John Fox's favorite missives — "well done is better than well said" — they went out and showed how to stop Newton.
"He's a big man," Broncos linebacker Von Miller said. "We knew what we had to do. You can't let him beat you. He's so versatile, you can't let him do all those things. And this is a defense that wants to be respected and feared. That's how we want to play."
With a mix-and-match approach on personnel — including a few groupings the Broncos had not used this season — and a ferocious pass rush, the Broncos chased, harassed and closed out Newton and the Panthers.
The Broncos finished with seven sacks for the first time in more than nine years and scored their fourth defensive touchdown of the season to go with their second safety.
What went right
Given Newton's size and his ability as a runner, the Broncos kept a little more size on the field in nickel (five defensive back) situations, with middle linebacker Keith Brooking staying on the field and pairing with Wesley Woodyard at linebacker.
When the down-and-distance situation leaned a little more toward the Carolina passing game, rookie Danny Trevathan replaced Brooking alongside Woodyard. The Broncos also used cornerback Chris Harris at safety more than they had been. The second-year defensive back started the game at right cornerback in place of Tracy Porter. Harris also was used in the slot in the nickel defense, then lined up at safety for several snaps.
"They're starting to realize how versatile I can be," Harris said. "I think I can play safety, I can play nickel, I can play outside corner. I just want to stay consistent, to keep myself in the game.
"As long as I stay consistent, keep doing what I'm supposed to do no matter where they put me, they'll hopefully keep using me."
The Broncos, knowing Newton had targeted Steve Smith 70 times coming into the game, slapped Champ Bailey on Smith, forcing Newton to look elsewhere. Newton still targeted Smith seven times, but the veteran had only one catch.
Put it all together and the Broncos forced Newton to hold the ball too long, leading to the Broncos' seven sacks.
What went wrong
By the time the Panthers scored their first touchdown with six minutes, 46 seconds left in the first quarter, tight end Greg Olsen had three catches for 46 yards, including his scoring play.
Olsen finished with nine receptions for 102 yards and two touchdowns. It marked the second straight game an opposing tight end worked over Broncos linebackers and safeties for a 100-yard game. The Bengals' Jermaine Gresham had 108 yards on six catches in Denver's victory in Cincinnati last week.
This season, five opposing tight ends have finished with at least 50 yards receiving.
Up next
The last time the Broncos faced the Chargers, they constructed a historic comeback that kick-started the current four-game winning streak.
The Broncos intercepted four passes thrown by Philip Rivers in that game and cornerback Tony Carter added a fumble return for a touchdown. And with the Chargers' loss Sunday, the Broncos hold a two-game lead in the AFC West.

In the bag
With their seven sacks, the Broncos have 32 and took over the NFL's sack lead heading into the Sunday night game. It was their first seven-sack game since Oct. 12, 2003. The franchise record for sacks in a game is 10 which was achieved on Oct. 19, 1969, against Cincinnati. The Broncos have had seven sacks in a game 11 times.

Even if you aren't a butterfly expert. chances are you can identify the orange and black wings of the Monarch - that is, if you can find one. Monarchs typically return to Maine every year from down south, but they're nowhere to be found. Dave Sherwood reports.
To help solve the mystery of the missing monarch, Bob and Rose Marie Gobeil have hopped the ferry to the Swan Island Wildlife Management Area on the Kennebec River in Richmond.
"We've been looking for monarchs since the middle of July, but so far, we have yet to see one. Hopefully, today, we'll find one today on the island," says Bob Gobeil.
The Gobeils are volunteers for the Maine butterfly survey. It's a state-run program that depends on what researchers call citizen scientists, who help find, photograph and document butterflies across the state. Armed with white butterfly nets and cameras, this retired couple doesn't miss much.
"So we're a team. And it makes it a lot easier to find unusual species. And we just like to go out for the exercise, we like to hike, and this is a perfect way of, at the same time, gathering information for the Maine Butterfly Survey," says Bob Gobeil.
The Gobeil's have been coming to Swan Island every two weeks since early May. But most surprising this summer is not what they've seen - but what they haven't.
"These fields should be full of flying monarchs. Because of the amount, the number, of milkweed plants on the island, literally acres, it's almost perfect for butterflies," says Bob Gobeil.
If you're on the hunt for monarchs, one important place to start is milkweed. Milkweed is a tall, green plant that grows in meadows and along roadsides. Monarchs depend on milkweed at every stage of their lifecycle. It's a favorite food of Monarch caterpillars, and its sweet-smelling nectar attracts adult butterflies as well. But here, in this patch of abundant milkweed, no monarchs.
"The monarch is so bright, it's large, and it's usually in abundance, so people just see it and, 'Oh, there goes a monarch.' But to have that absence is really strange, not to see them anywhere," says Rose Marie Gobiel.
Thanks to the work of other citizen scientists across the monarchs range - from Minnesota and Michigan east to New York and northern New England - it's clear that the monarchs are missing. So the question is, where are they?
"We're all scratching our heads." That's Herb Wilson, a professor of biology at Colby College, and a coordinator for the Maine Butterfly Survey.
"It's a tricky question with monarchs, because they have an extraordinarily complicated lifecycle. What's causing the decline here may in fact have little to do with Maine. Maine, in fact, may be perfectly fine in terms of providing sufficient habitat. But it's conditions to our south that may be problematic," says Herb Wilson.
That's because monarchs can't live year round in Maine. It's too cold. So they migrate. But this isn't just any migration. These butterflies weigh less than a paper clip with a brain no bigger than a blueberry, but somehow, they make their way 3,000 miles south to a few isolated mountaintops in Mexico - the same mountaintops where their ancestors once wintered, with only genetics to guide them.
"It's a fantastic life cycle that captures the imagination of lots of people, I think," says Herb Wilson.
But as fantastic a life cycle as it is, it's also fragile. The monarch's migration takes them across much of North America, and they face threats at every stop along the way. Last year, the number of monarchs that over-wintered in Mexico reached an all-time low. Extreme weather is partly to blame, say scientists. And the use of chemical pesticides in the Midwest is killing the milkweeds that once dabbled fields of corn and wheat, leaving many monarchs homeless.
"So many agricultural areas are becoming monocultures now. And just habitat loss itself. So what used to be a field, perhaps, now is a big-box store of some sort," says Herb Wilson.
The issues surrounding the monarch's decline involve big questions about climate, economics and large scale agriculture. But back among the wildflower meadows of Swan Island, citizen scientists like Bob and Rose Marie Gobeil will keep searching, because even if they don't find a monarch, that tells us something, too.
"It doesn't look like we'll find many, if any, at all during the season. But we'll be back in a few weeks and try again. There's always hope."

Hours and minutes. Dauphine hands running across an eggshell-white or sunburst silver-toned dial. An exceptionally reliable automatic movement.
Both matter itself and watch mechanisms naturally resist being pared down, a fact that can prove discouraging. Delicacy is as much a method as an art – that of reducing components to their purest functional expression, while arranging them with an exceptionally clever way on the movement mainplate so as to focus on essentials. The natural beauty inherent in the passing of time, gently marked off by the hour and minute hands.
An art and its secrets
In the late 19th century, few manufacturers were scarcely interested in horological minimalism: it was instead an age of progress and technical prowess. Watches had not yet found their place on the wrist and women were barely starting out on the long road towards emancipation. Nonetheless, Edmond Jaeger, an industrialist from Alsace who had settled in Paris, launched an appeal to Swiss watch manufacturers on the threshold of the new century. The only response was that of Jacques-David LeCoultre, director of a firm that already encompassed an impressive range of skills, numerous professions and cutting-edge equipment. The challenge set by the Paris-based businessman was admittedly a daunting one, since he wanted nothing less than to build the world's thinnest movements. Edmond Jaeger was at the head of a small Parisian workshop specialised in producing marine chronometers. Competition was fierce in this sector severely affected by the economic crisis, and he was thus looking to enter a promising new segment: especially thin watch mechanisms opened up a whole new creative field for artists and designers. The future was to prove him right. Nonetheless, his employees were more accustomed to making sizeable onboard instruments for naval forces than to developing extremely slim movements – which meant that an association with a watchmaker was an essential prerequisite for the success of his project.
Jacques-David LeCoultre and Edmond Jaeger met in 1903. They immediately hit it off and soon signed an agreement, doubtless without realising that it marked the start of a long and close cooperation that would culminate several decades later in the joining of their two names. To begin with, Jacques-David LeCoultre simply agreed to dedicate his resources, talents and experience to developing and producing a peerlessly thin calibre. In 1907, the Manufacture unveiled its 17-ligne Lépine Calibre 145 with a diminutive size that was itself a major statement: at a mere 1.38 mm, its record-breaking thinness has remained unequalled in its category to this day, more than a century after its introduction. This exceptional movement was produced for over half a century. Edmond Jaeger and Jacques-David LeCoultre pursued their fruitful cooperation and equipped some of their ultra-thin calibres with additional complications, such as an amazing 3.55 mm-thick movement comprising not only a chronograph but also a minute repeater function.
In 1953, the Grande Maison presented the Calibre 803 which, at 1.64 mm thick, heralded the era of ultra-thin wristwatches. Ten years later, it was replaced by Calibre 838 that was 1.85 mm thick. In 1976, the automatic movement bearing number 900 was the first in a line of contemporary ultra-thin calibres with a balance oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, a new date-indication function, and a thickness of just 3.25 millimetres. Its descendants include Calibre 898C, the version that now powers the Master Ultra Thin 41.
The ultimate in horological minimalism
When minimalism becomes the guiding philosophy, each gesture and each stroke becomes vitally significant. The appearance of the Master Ultra Thin 41 thus naturally inspires a hushed silence, in contemplation of absolute purity embodied in this work of art.
In both versions, one in steel with a sunburst silver-toned dial and polished rhodium-plated hour-markers, and the other with an eggshell-white dial and 4N gold-plated applied hour-markers, the Master Ultra Thin 41 embodies a perfect blend of strength and restraint. One of the dauphine-type hands points to the hours, and the other to the minutes. The operating mode of the automatic movement is discreetly indicated on the lower part of the dial. At 12 o'clock, the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo features the association of two names evoking the complementary values of two visionary minds: that of the Parisian businessman and that of the entrepreneur in the Jura mountains who was always keen to take on the most daring challenges.
At just 3.30 mm thick, automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 898C boasts a 43-hour power reserve. It is fitted inside a 41 mm-diameter case measuring a remarkably slender 7.48 mm.
A dream watch, an idealised timepiece. Sobriety raised to an art form, accompanied by prodigious technical feats and the pinnacle of aesthetic refinement. In 2013, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces a quintessentially timeless creation named Master Ultra Thin 41.

This is a dire situation: I have three anti-gun media hit pieces left to read, and I'm down to my last antacid. I normally ration them, but that last story was a real doozy. Why endure such torture? If you can grasp the mindset of someone who fears gun ownership—who doesn't even trust himself with the right, let alone you—you'll be better equipped to articulate your point of view. The more we're familiar with the other side's argument, misguided as it may be, the better equipped we are to defeat it.
I've learned something through this approach: Big Media does not understand gun owners. Their anti-gun stories range widely in subtlety, and could be categorized as lazy, intentionally anti-gun or unknowingly biased. The latest antacid-popper comes to us courtesy of The New Yorker and falls into the "unknowingly biased" category. Jill Lepore thinks she is a liberal crusader out there just trying to make a difference, which she has attempted to achieve through an unfair and condescending portrayal of gun ownership in America (She actually compares the ambience of a gun range to visiting a porn shop—what the hell?). Lepore's story, while better written than some mindless anti-gun hit pieces, is undermined by a lack of empathy. There is a cavernous disconnect between liberal journalists (who don't even recognize their own biases) and the plight of gun owners. Here are the top eight things anti-gun journalists don't seem to understand about us.
Then one day their son steals his uncle's gun, takes it to school and commits an atrocity. It's a sad story. It would perhaps bring some resolution if a preventative measure could be found. Lepore tries to find a tenable link between gun owners and mass shootings, but her reasoning is dubious at best.
Journalists always want to point the finger at gun owners after such tragedies, as if there's some way to legislate away the actions of a madman intent on mayhem without expunging the freedoms of law-abiding Americans. They ignore the failures of liberal social programs and instead want to create "gun free zones," forgetting that this is in fact where most mass shootings occur (even in highly firearm-restrictive European countries). And, perhaps most frustrating of all, they deny that an average armed citizen can halt a mass shooting. It's happened, notably at a church in Colorado, a high school in Mississippi, at the Appalachian State law school and elsewhere.
Personally, I believe we almost began apologizing for guns during the Clinton Administration. However, at some point we decided to get back to being honest: Shooting guns is an important freedom, we aren't sorry about it and shooting them is good wholesome entertainment. That's a message that resonates with the public, if not anti-gun journalists. The media establishment seems baffled by the Brady Campaign's financial woes. And poll after poll that indicates growing support for gun ownership.
Namely we win because shooting is fun. If you take a rookie shooter to the range, their smile upon that first shot is practically blinding. Despite what they may have read about guns in the media, they just learned how much fun it is to send a round downrange. And there's nothing a New York City journalist can do to convince them otherwise.
Lepore makes this argument, citing a survey by National Policy Opinion Center at the University of Chicago. However, numbers don't lie: Gun ownership is up and, perhaps not coincidentally, the violent crime rate is down.
Lazy journalists love to drag out the old saying, "You're more likely to shoot a family member than an intruder." Find some new facts—that one's been discredited. It counted illegally possessed guns and gang members right along with the legitimate homes. And it only took into account incidents in which shots were fired.
According to a study by Florida State criminologist Gary Kleck, guns are used in lawful self-defense 2.5 million times per year. However, most times the mere presence of a firearm is enough to frighten away the miscreant without shots being fired. Bad guy kicks the door down. Little old lady points a .22 at him. Bad guy runs away. The incident may not even be reported to police. You see, journalists, unlike the way you insist on portraying us, we don't really want to shoot anybody. But, if we have to, we'd rather be prepared to protect ourselves than wait for the police and hope for the best.

BW061: Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 1)
this wiki
As Ash prepares for his Gym Battle with Clay when he walks in the gym, he has another problem in his mind. Clay has no time for a gym battle because he said that he ran out of Revival Herbs which is the king of all healing herbs. So Ash and co. decided to go find Revival Herbs and the only place where they grow (given by Charles' advice) is the Island of Legend where the Kami Trio lives. As Ash and co. arrives to the island, the clouds darkens the atomosphere and wind and thunder appear in the sky. A local boy name Lewis comes by and tells them that Grass Pokémon aren't doing so good when their sick since all of the Revival Herbs are dried up. However, the next day, as Ash and co. are doing the rain-making ceremony in order for it to rain, fierce Tornadus, the Cyclone Pokemon appear in such a rage and attack them due to the fact the shrines of Tornadus and Thundurus are desecrated, when their wedges are smashed making them angry as savage Thundurus, the Bolt Strike Pokemon appear from the raging storm as they battle fiercely for a very long time. The only Pokemon that can stop these two is the Abundance Pokemon, Landorus. Ash and co. decide to help Lewis and the other Grass-type Pokemon. Can they successfully summon Landorus to stop these mighty gods from destroying the island and all of Unova?

- UltraFl?® Technology:This proprietary design technology gives Attic Breeze solar attic fans the greatest CFM to watt efficiency rate. Maximum airflow is produced through the 14 inch, 5-wing aluminum fan blade with integrated balanced hub. When air hot attic air is drawn into the fan, the airflow stream is condensed through the fan housing, creating an increase in air density at the fan blade. This effect maximizes conversion efficiency, while consuming less energy!
- Commercial Grade Monocrystalline Solar Panel:Attic Breeze's unique panel design features high-strength, impact resistant tempered glass construction, and performs with greater power output than panels with a polycrystalline or multicrystalline composition. This technology allows Attic Breeze fans to function efficiently at higher roof temperatures without the loss of rated power.
- Breeze Mate™ Control System (Optional):This remote interface control system is an attractive option, and gives you the ability to communicate wirelessly through a Master Controller with Attic Breeze solar fans installed on your Breeze Mate™ network. For little additional cost, this puts ventilation preferences in your hands, and allows you to exercise total control over fan operation by customizing both temperature and humidity levels specific to the needs of your application.

I'm a bit of a "jock", that's what my husband and kids say. I love to ride bicycles, hike, swim, kayak, etc. (Used to do triathlons, but I quit running competitively and now just hike up mountains instead.) When I was looking through some old papers during a move, I found some poems and things I had written a long time back. It made me want to start writing things down again for my grandkids. I started the first book just for them and they got interested. I'm getting things together for more books and really need to finish them, also. With so many hobbies it's hard for me to sit in front of a computer; but I will get them done. I promise myself.
