DOE to Invest $40 Million for Efficient Housing Research
DOE issued a funding opportunity announcement on June 13th for up to $40 million to support the research, development, and deployment of technologies for energy efficient homes. The selected projects are expected to reduce home energy use 30%–90%. The goals of this opportunity are to provide new energy efficient products to the market, incorporate innovations into home design, cut construction time, limit waste, and improve builder productivity. DOE anticipates selecting 4–8 applications to research the energy efficiency of homes and develop formulae for construction of new homes on a community scale.
Subject to Congressional appropriations, the investment for these cost-shared projects would total $50 million, with applicants expected to provide 20% of the overall funding ($10 million). Funding would begin in fiscal year 2008 and continue through fiscal year 2012. This opportunity is part of DOE's Building America project, which seeks to enable the cost-effective production of zero-energy homes that annually produce as much energy as they use by 2020. See the DOE press release, the funding opportunity announcement, and the Building America Web site.

text: One of the biggest groups of plastic litter's victims worldwide is marine life; nonbiodegradable materials often make their way to the ocean, where they entrap birds, clog the stomachs of fish and marine mammals, and kill scores of creatures. So it makes sense for San Diego's SeaWorld to be particularly concerned about the rise of marine litter, which is why it was a surprise that until very recently, it used plastic and styrofoam at its restaurants and service areas.

Terriers sad that strong foes are leaving SoCon
Wofford shows respect to GSU after victory
Published: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 10:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 10:35 p.m.
It became one of the best Southern Conference football rivalries, always fierce, sometimes bitter, and when it ended, there was mutual respect.
Gardner-Webb (2-1) at No. 16 Wofford (2-1)
7 p.m., 105.7 FM, 910 AM
Photo Galleries
Wofford beat Georgia Southern, 30-20, Saturday night at Gibbs Stadium in the final game between them as conference opponents. GSU is headed for the Football Bowl Subdivision and the Sun Belt Conference. The Eagles are not eligible for the FCS playoffs so there's not a chance these teams will meet again in the postseason.
And there is a chance they will never meet again.
Another traditional power, Appalachian State, also leaving for the Sun Belt, and Elon, leaving for the FCS Colonial Athletic Conference, will play in Spartanburg later this season in their Southern Conference farewell seasons.
"I'm disappointed," Wofford head coach Mike Ayers said. "I think we had one of the best conferences in America. Those teams leave and it's going to be different from now on. But there will be teams that take their places and I'm sure the rivalries will eventually kick in with those new ones."
Newcomers next season will be two former members, VMI and East Tennessee State, as well as Mercer, which has begun playing scholarship football after a seven-decade absence. ETSU left the Southern Conference and temporarily dropped the sport in 2003. VMI also left that year and joined the Big South. The Keydets lost Saturday, 37-24, to Division II North Greenville.
Yes, things will certainly be different.
"It's great to play against great competition," Wofford quarterback Michael Weimer said. "You always want to play the best. I'm going to miss playing Georgia Southern, but they're moving on to other things. Maybe we can play then sometime down the road."
"Georgia Southern is a great team and playing them has been fun," Wofford linebacker Alvin Scioneaux said. "It's been great competing every year with them and also Appalachian State. The three of us have led this conference. We've been the best teams for quite a while."
As usual, things got a little heated in the trenches Saturday night, with Wofford coming out on top most of the time and dominating the line of scrimmage. But at the final horn, the two teams gathered at midfield to wish each other well. There were handshakes, hugs and a prayer meeting that featured a mix of black jerseys with white jerseys.
"On the field, you're running hard and hitting hard and trying to beat your opponent," Wofford safety Josh Holt said. "But they are people, just like us. We want to be respectful, win or lose. The coaches instill that in us."
Wofford players and coaches, when they are on the road, always pause and stand in attention when the home team plays its alma mater. Opponents don't often play their school song at the end of games in Gibbs Stadium, but when the Georgia Southern band in a small corner of the stands broke into song, the Terriers joined the Eagles in tribute.
"That's just part of what we do," Ayers said. "You battle on the field and after that, you're a good citizen. You do what you're supposed to do. … I think both teams respect each other. I know I respect the heck out of their program. (Head coach) Jeff (Monken) does an unbelievable job. All those coaches do a great job. I wish Georgia Southern the best. I really do."

ROME -- After raising eyebrows by going to North Korea, former U.S. basketball star Dennis Rodman is continuing his bizarre global tour by visiting Rome -- purportedly to help Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson become the first black pope.
But Rodman didn't seem too sure who he was supposed to be promoting when asked about it Wednesday. "From Africa, right?" Rodman asked, wearing a hat and T-shirt promoting the Irish betting firm that organized his trip.
Rodman said he was sure the next pope would be black and that he would like to meet him in Africa on his self-styled mission to promote world peace.
Even Rodman's plans to enter St. Peter's Square in a custom-built "popemobile" were uncertain Wednesday: The vehicle had been delayed by snow in northern Italy.

How to Get a Girl to Like You
The perfect fit doesn't always feel so perfect. To keep things spicy, experiment with different angles and try spreading your legs apart or keeping them close together. Glickman suggests bringing a vibrator into the mix or using your finger to rub your clitoris while he's inside of you.
When he's packing more than the average guy, the best thing is for us to be able to control the depth and speed. You can pretty much try any position, but the ideal is woman on top, or reverse cowgirl (when you're on top but facing away from him). But if you're not the type who likes to be boss, try missionary, just be sure to keep your legs closer together so he doesn't penetrate too deep.
How to Climax Every. Damn. Time.

Never Have Another Junk Food Craving. Ever.
Hitting those late-night ice cream binges hard? Regularly polish off 10-too-many chocolate chip cookies? Here's why
Similar to carbs, Metsovas says we tend to crave sugar when we're low on energy. This lack of energy can be attributed to diet, in which case you should load up on superfoods like kale, blueberries, sweet potatoes, fish, and raw nuts and seeds, she says.
However, "if your diet is considered healthy and you still crave sugary foods, I recommend investigating your overall health by scheduling a screening with your doctor," Metsovas says. There could be other factors, like hypoglycemia, diabetes, or thyroid issues contributing to your sugar binges.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - From about now until the ski hills open is commonly thought of as one of the deepest of the valley's off-seasons. But this time of year, the county's public lands host a few thousand destination visitors - hunters.
While the archery and black powder rifle seasons of late summer and early fall have their devotees - including a growing number of local residents - the traditional seasons, open to those who bring high-powered rifles with them, draw the largest numbers. Some stay in hotels and eat at restaurants, but many more top off their supplies of food, ice, fuel and ammunition before heading into the backcountry.
Aaron Danis of Colorado Springs made a quick stop Friday at Columbine Market in Gypsum before heading up toward Heart Lake, in Garfield County north and west of Dotsero.
Danis, who's been a hunter for about 30 years, said he and his friends and family are regulars at Heart Lake and in the forests around Steamboat Springs.
Up Routt County it can be pretty easy to slip down into town for a meal or a shower, Danis said. Heart Lake is a little more remote, he said, so stocking up in Gypsum is about the last he and his friends will see of civilization for a few days.
Even if they disperse into the backcountry, hunters in the county still spend money while they're here.
Columbine Market manager Ron Hagen said the first rifle season isn't terribly busy - the bigger crowds come for the second and third seasons later in the month.
"But we still get a lot of people through here," he said.
Hunters shop for more than just groceries, of course.
West Vail Shell owner Rick Dilling said he sees plenty of rigs - from motorhomes to pickups pulling trailers with ATVs and tents in the beds. He sells gas to the drivers of many of those rigs.
"And I get a few tows every year, too," Dilling said.
Matt Solomon, owner of Alpine Arms in Eagle, said his shop sees a nice bump in business during hunting season. He's not selling guns to hunters - people going into the woods usually have their firearms sighted in and ready to go long before the season opens - but he does sell a lot of accessories, from thermal underwear to holsters to scopes and range-finders.
Those small sales add up, not the way Easter week in Vail does, but it does add up.
As of the 2010 season, big game hunting's annual economic impact in Eagle County alone was estimated at $28.7 million. Throughout Colorado, that number was $403.7 million.
That boost can mean the difference between a good and better year for a community.
Still, "hunting is really an under-the-radar thing," Vail Valley Partnership Executive Director Chris Romer said.
Hunting isn't the only not-really-obvious smaller economic engine in the valley. The Colorado National Guard's High Altitude Aviation Training Site - HAATS - brings hundreds of helicopter pilots to the western valley for training in mountain helicopter flight. Those people stay in hotels and eat in restaurants while they're here.
"They aren't our bread and butter, but they're nice to have," Romer said.
Hunting and HAATS have something else in common - both are things people will travel a long way to use.
"We're in a trophy zone," Solomon said. "This is really a destination for hunters. We have people from Utah, Illinois - all over the country - coming here to hunt."

Hi there!
It's been a while since i had my PS3 Slim and...
Well, let's face it...its all about Blu-ray vs DVD-ray, being able to surf the net vs not being able to surf the net, streaming moving vs no streaming movies, etc.
here are some things that atre putting me off the PS3 and have been thinking (just thinnking) of selling it:
1. games on the Xbox360 are still cheaper than the PS3
2. more Kinect games than PS Move
3. better online experience (i.e. multiplayer)
4. Xbox360 is quieter (tho thi is very debatable)
5. bland XMB bar compared to a much livelier dashboard on the Xbox360
and my number one gripe would probablly be the issue of format compatibility. on this respect the issue of Divx.
i understand the PS3 can play Divx (and .avi files) on a FAT32-formatted drive.
my portable hard drive is FAT32-formatted. i have got .avi files on them. and my PS3 can't even locate/find them. i don't think my PS3 has a fault per se. i think its something else.
I have tried all the trick in the book of finding out why. i even rung the Playstation UK phone support and all they can suggest me is 1.look for another person who has a PS3 and try your hard drive and see if it works (currently i don't know anyone from my friends and if i do they are either far or too buisy with family) or 2. re-format my portable hard drive ( which i could not do due to the fact that i have to shelve out another £50-ish for another hard drive to back-up my files) or try a "different" AVI file and see if it works ( i think he was going in the lines of "maybe the encoding is different" kinda thing)
I have basically given up on platying my AVI files on my PS3.


text: What you add to your scenes to make them more interesting? Possible examples: Plot twists and surprises. Questions and mystery. Imagery (beautiful, exotic, memorable, what?). Neat dialogue. When I'm just writing, I produce utter garbage, very boring stuff. I don't have much style. So I want to improve that as much as possible. When I began to investigate how good writers do it, I found myriad things. However, I think I can't quite be sure which findings are important and which are just minor style details. I have been reading quite many textbooks about writing, but they're nor much help here. They take too much for granted. Some texts about old "pulp writers" have been illuminating, but basically there's not much useful. I do not need exact advice, but more like what could be good idea to think now and then when my text is going to that "utter drivel" class again. (If this is hard to understand, sorry, English is not my native language.)

December 4, 2006
Imagine someone taking a five finger holiday discount...from your house.
It's happened more than 30 times in the past three days in Richmond County.
That's tens of thousands of dollars of personal property.
This weekend was almost like a shopping spree for burglars. All types of Christmas list things from PlayStations to remote control cars were taken from people's homes. And deputies say it's about to get worse.
General Manager James Wise says someone busted a window and took hundreds in electronics, like TVs and stereos.
"We hope justice is brought on them," he said. "We're upgrading our security immensely over this."
James isn't the only one thinking about a security upgrade. Our next victim lost tens of thousands of dollars in video games, jewelry, shoes, savings bonds and leather jackets...all taken from her home.
"Things were all over the floor," Norma Puryear told us. "The place was just ransacked!"
Investigators say around this time of year, burglary reports start to look like Christmas wish lists. Things like televisions, boom boxes, toys, and much sought-after gaming systems like the PlayStation are targeted.
According to police reports, burglars have taken around $50,000 worth of things so far. Now let's say the average family spends about $1000 around the holidays. That's about 50,000 Christmas mornings stolen.
"The honest folks are out spending their money and buying gifts. The dishonest folks are out not spending money and stealing the gifts," said Lt. Jimmy Young of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
Stealing from people like Norma Puryear.
"It's just material things...we weren't harmed. We'll get it back," she said. "We got our health and our strength right now."
"It doesn't make any sense to steal it and risk going to prison for years and years when they could come in and get the merchandise," James said.
But as police reports show, lots of burglars think this stuff is up for grabs...whether it belongs to them or not.
In all 30 reports, the most commonly stolen items are game systems like the PlayStation and Xbox. Also, any kind of electronic toys, jewelry, and even power tools seem to be popular choices among thieves.
The sheriff's office says there are things we can do to protect ourselves.
Automatic timers on your lights make burglars think you're at home. Also, deadbolts on your door can stop burglars from getting in, and alarms with a loud sound will scare criminals away.
Also, police have a better chance of returning your stuff if you have the specifics on the items, like the serial number. Keep records of all your purchases.

The Shaman and Ayahuasca
It all starts with a simple discussion. The next thing you know, you're off to the Amazon rainforest in South America, drinking tea made from a psychoactive plant and taking part in an ancient ceremony intended to heal and open the realms of consciousness.
That's what happened to filmmaker Michael Wiese as he was searching for a cure after being confronted with a serious disease. Michael realized the universe was co-conspiring to aid in his mission, and soon he, his wife and his translator were off, embarking on a mysterious and deeply personal adventure.
The Shaman and Ayahuasca on GaiamTV.com follows these three on a thought-provoking journey, providing unique personal perspectives, majestic and stunning visuals of Peruvian surroundings, and wisdom from a famed shaman. It also piques the viewer's curiosity: What does this psychoactive elixir taste like? How does it feel to be whisked away to other realms and connected to the cosmos? How does it feel to return to reality? Here are a few of the most intriguing and eye-opening moments from this fascinating documentary:

Neil Armstrong was the product of a time when Americans were encouraged to reach for the stars.
In fact, that's exactly what he did.
Armstrong, who died Saturday at the age of 82, became the first man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. That step, accompanied by the immortal words, "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind," capped what was, arguably, man's greatest scientific achievements, and gave the United States a victory in a space race that had started on Oct. 4, 1957, when the then-Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first satellite.
With those steps, Armstrong became the first of only 12 men to walk on the moon, which was not too bad of an achievement for a man who grew up in Wapakoneta, a small western Ohio town. He developed a fascination with flight after taking his first airplane ride at the age of 6, and would get his pilot's license when he was 16, even before he obtained a driver's license.
Aviation played a large role in his life, from flying combat missions in Korea, to piloting the X-15 rocket plane to making the first successful space docking while on Gemini 8 - a maneuver that had to be perfected before the Apollo program could carry humans to the moon.
The successful flight of Apollo 11 - which included astronauts Buzz Aldrin (the second man to walk on the moon) and Michael Collins, who piloted the Columbia while his capsulemates were on the moon -allowed the United States to make good on a promise made by President John F. Kennedy in May 1961 that our country would land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth.
That effort showed the American spirit at its best, the feeling that anything is possible. Americans showed that they were second to none in developing technology and mathematics and would not let anything get in their way.
An entire generation remembers the thrill and excitement of gathering around the family television set during the summer of 1969 and watching intently as Armstrong took those first steps from the ladder of the lunar module. There was a feeling that, for all the other troubles we faced at the time - the war in Vietnam, for instance -that we could take pride in being Americans, that there was nothing we couldn't do if we set our minds to it.
It's a sense of awe and excitement that was rekindled just a few weeks ago as we watched the unmanned Curiosity begin its exploration of Mars.
Armstrong's steps should serve as reminders of that feeling, and should continue to inspire Americans to go beyond what seems impossible, and to once again reach for the stars.

The aim of the new study was to determine the effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy on measures of fetal and child growth and on the risk of becoming overweight or obese as young children. The study included 5,342 mothers, fathers, and their children living in the Netherlands. The mothers answered questions about their prenatal smoking history, and the children's growth and weight were monitored throughout pregnancy and then regularly until age four. Fathers also gave information regarding their smoking status during their partners' pregnancies.
"Our findings suggest that direct intrauterine exposure to smoke until late pregnancy leads to different height and growth adaptations and increases the risks of overweight and obesity in preschool children," said Busra Durmus, lead author of the study. "Smoking during pregnancy might lead to permanently impaired skeletal growth, a shorter stature, and higher weight."
There are plenty of reasons to quit smoking, including decreasing your risk of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases, diabetes, and heart disease. For some women, quitting becomes easier when they know that they're not just affecting their own health, but also the health of their unborn baby. If you're trying to quit, acupuncture and hypnosis are safer alternatives to nicotine replacement products to help curb your cigarette cravings and quit smoking for good.
"When you see babies born prematurely and struggling just to survive, you want to do everything you can to keep it from happening to another child," says Gail Gallon, a NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) nurse. "Now that we have even more information about the dangers of smoking during pregnancy, we can do more to encourage women to give their babies the healthy start that they deserve."

George Redmonds to speak at Genealogical Conference
George Redmonds is the author of numerous books on name topics including Surnames and Genealogy, Christian Names in Local and Family History and Names and History. In 2001 he presented the BBC Radio 4 series Surnames, Genes and Genealogy.
George is considered by many family historians to be one of the foremost experts on Yorkshire surnames and has often spoken at family history conferences particularly on one-name studies.
Names of course are everywhere and not just as surnames. George has investigated how our names are acquired and how through time they have changed. Names are a part of our personal histories, defining who we are today and just who our ancestors were and often where they lived or what they did. To understand them we need to look beyond etymologies and examine the name in its historic and chronological context.
George will be speaking on the final day of the International Family History Conference on "Your Surname is Unique" and will be a fascinating insight into the world of surname studies. Surname studies are of course vital to one-name studies as well as to family historians and genealogists. The conference will be an ideal opportunity to listen to George and other celebrity speakers for what is an incredible price.

SAN JOSE -- Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown took the high road Monday, expressing regret over the fact his hit may have ended Sharks rookie Tomas Hertl's season while acknowledging he understood why the Sharks were riled over the knee-on-knee contact he contended he tried to avoid.
"There's two sides to every story. They're going to be upset." Brown said. "If that was reversed, the Kings would have been upset."
The Sharks face the Kings for the first time since that Dec. 19 hit Monday night at SAP Center. San Jose will be trying to increase its Pacific Division lead over Los Angeles to 12 points.
Brown received a major penalty and game misconduct for the hit on Hertl, but no suspension followed. The Kings forward called the play "one of those things that kind of happens in the game of hockey."
"All I can say is I made the effort to get out of the way. I think that was pretty evident on the video," Brown said. "My intention was to hit him at first, and then I realized I wasn't going to be able to get there in time because he had the puck on his stick for a split second."
The Sharks did not see the hit that way, and general manager Doug Wilson was later critical of Brown for not expressing concern for Hertl, who ended up undergoing knee surgery and still could miss the remainder of the season.
"You never want to see anybody get hurt," Brown said before praising Hertl specifically for the immediate impact he had with his four-goal game against the New York Rangers. "He's pretty exciting coming into the league and we need more players like him who are willing to go through the legs and go shelf. That's good for our game."
He added that he and his teammates were talking about how good it was for hockey after Hertl scored those four goals with flair.
"It's not often you see a young guy come in like that and be able to do the things he can do," Brown said. "Hopefully, he can get healthy."
So does Brown expect any attempt at retaliation?
"I don't know," Brown said. "I'm just preparing to play because at the end of the day, they're 10 points up on us. There's nothing more important for us at least than the two points. There's no time for all the other stuff."
On Sunday, the Sharks took a similar approach, saying that a win over the Kings would be the best payback for the hit on Hertl.
Stalock has consecutive shutouts over the Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets in his last two starts.

USA, 2013, 130 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Drama, Family Issues, Womens IssuesLanguage: English
ENDS THURSDAY at the Sie FilmCenter.
The film adaptation of Tracy Letts's Broadway phenomenon, this darkly funny family drama tells the story of the highly dysfunctional Westons, who once scattered to the winds and are now forced to return to the home they once shared. The occasion is the death of family patriarch Beverly (Sam Shepard), a gentle, poetic soul who stands in stark contrast to his spouse, Violet (Meryl Streep). Vi is a bruising, battering harpy whose interest in "truth-telling" stokes old fires, reopens old wounds and lays waste to the human landscape around her.
Filled with the histrionics of slamming doors and smashing crockery, the story evokes the bracing, devastating kind of theatrical experience created by the likes of Eugene O'Neill, Edward Albee, Tennessee Williams, and Arthur Miller. But the focus is on the female, particularly Vi and her eldest daughter, Barbara (Julia Roberts). The cancer-stricken, pill-popping Vi has even less to lose than usual and everything to gain by taking center stage in the theatrics, as the de facto family reunion brings fresh targets into her sights. Her middle child, Ivy, has a secret crush on her first cousin, Little Charles, and is about to find out an even deeper secret. Vi's youngest, Karen, arrives with an unsavory character (Dermot Mulroney) who is supposedly her fiancé, while Barb gets to be humiliated at the dinner table with revelations about her estranged husband (Ewan McGregor).
The stellar cast also includes Chris Cooper and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). The play won five Tony Awards in 2008, including Best Play.

Waterfowl hunting is all about camaraderie in the blind. While many hunt with friends, there are those who are lucky enough to share a blind with their significant other. What more could a waterfowl hunter want? While Cupid better be careful trying to fling arrows at camouflaged people gripping Benellis, this is the story of two waterfowl hunters who found love, and the unique proposal that joined them forever – both in and out of the blind.
Arcadia, Okla., native Ric Stoner and his girlfriend Kayci, both Ducks Unlimited members, headed out for a morning hunt on Dec. 23, 2007, a morning that would turn out to be unlike any other. To Kayci, it was just an average morning in the blind for the couple, but Ric's nerves were a little shaky – and it didn't have anything to do with the ducks.
The couple met through Kayci's father, who hunted and fished with Ric. They were introduced and dated for more than two and a half years. Ric and Kayci shared the waterfowl blind and the fishing boat throughout that period and enjoyed spending time outdoors with one another.
This particular morning, Kayci noticed Ric was a little quiet. "I remember that it was a really cold morning and I was a little grouchy, so I thought Ric was just being quiet because of the weather," Kayci explained. "It was only a couple minutes into legal shooting time and we saw this lone goose."
Kayci's excitement over the Canada helped calm Ric's nerves, and as the bird approached, Ric replayed the plan in his head.
"When the goose came within range, I told her to take it," Ric said. "I remember every moment of that morning."
Kayci made a clean shot and the goose crumpled and fell. Ric sent the dog, then stepped out of the blind to the back side of the island. Ric pulled the ring box from his parka, opened it and waited for the dog to return.
"I grabbed the goose and slipped the diamond ring onto [its] leg as quickly as possible," he said.
Kayci, still inside the blind, thought the goose had gotten away from the dog and Ric was back there chasing a cripple.
Kayci Stoner with her goose and her engagement ring
"I did remember it took him a long time to get that goose, but I didn't think anything of it," she said.
With a diamond engagement ring on the goose's leg, Ric remembered gripping that Canada with what he referred to as a 'death grip' – and understandably so.
"As I walked back into the blind, Kayci was just sitting there, and I told her, 'It's banded. Looks like you got your first band.' And then I held it out to her so she could see the ring. At first she just looked at it, and when I could see she recognized what it was, I dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me."
Freezing cold, dressed head to toe in camo (including a face mask), Kayci repeated, "Yes, yes..." in absolute shock.
"I immediately called my dad, who already knew because Ric had told him the plan," Kayci said. "Even one of my friends knew, and she had set her cell-phone alarm to go off at 7 a.m. because she knew I would be calling. It was very special."
Ric is convinced that lone Canada goose was heaven sent, not just because Kayci shot it so cleanly, or even because it flew into range at just the right moment, but because that was the only bird the couple saw all day.
"We continued to hunt for a few more hours and didn't see one more bird," Ric explained. "I had come up with this big plan and I didn't have a back up. If that goose hadn't flown over, I don't know what I would have done."
While Kayci had to explain the "band" idea to all her non-hunting friends, Ric's friends and family loved the uniqueness of the engagement. Ric and Kayci were married the following summer and continue to hunt and fish together.
Nestled into their makeshift blind on an island in the middle of a 300-acre lake in Oklahoma, Cupid managed to slip an arrow through the Avery Grass and layered camouflage clothing. The duck blind is a place where all waterfowl hunters make memories, but for the Stoners, their waterfowl-hunting memories will be truly lasting.

Area schools basketball preview capsules
Here are preview of area schools girls basketball teams:
Head coach: Bill Maisto (1st season)
2012-13 record: 10-8
Key players: Frosh Idalis Miranda, 12 ppg., 4 assists; Sr. Lexi Dvarskas, 6 ppg., 6 rpg.; Soph. Maggie Atkins; Sr. Natalie Fitzgerald, 8 ppg, 8 rpg.; Sr. Shaniya Jones; Sr. Emily Grimes; Soph. Morgan Maisto.
Outlook: Miranda emerged as team leader as an eighth grader. Fitzgerald can score inside and out.
Coach's take: "With four returning starters, key reserves and some talented players entering the school, I think we will be able to compete for a top seed in our league. We have a lot of team speed so our transition game will play a big part in how we do, but the keys to our success will be rebounding and defense. We have some explosive scorers so we should find a way to put up enough points to compete in most games."
Head coach: Sarah Mik (7th season)
2012-13 record: 10-11
Key players: Sr. Missy Bailey, 11.5 ppg., All-SCC; Sr. Lily Dolyak; Sr. Bry McIntosh; Jr. Jill Howard; Jr. Sara Como.
Outlook: Bailey is one the state's best, and the all-time leader in 3-point field goals at Cheshire.
Coach's take: "Senior leadership will lead us this season. The team likes to run and defend. The Housy Division (of the SCC) is very balanced. Career and Mercy will be tough out of division."
Head coach: Brian Stasaitis (8th season, 96-56)
2012-13 record: 8-12
Key players: Sr. Marie Campoli; Sr. Maranda Coretto; Sr. Sharese Harris; Sr. Michaela Couture; Jr. Daelyn Kale-Jr., 8.3 ppg, All-CSC; Jr. Cinthia Vega, 5.3 ppg; Jr. Sydney Craig; Jr. Taleeha Green.
Outlook: The Panthers have good, quick guard play and a solid low-post threat in Green.
Coach's comment: "We are playing a very difficult out-of-league schedule (six games against NVL schools and one against Joel Barlow). I like to test our girls early in the season to better prepare for the conference schedule. I hope that we can compete in every game and give ourselves a chance to win. The Constitution State Conference is beginning to be more competitive. Every game in our conference is a challenge."
O'Brien Tech
Head coach: Mark Belade (13th season)
2012-13 record: 12-9
Key players: Sr. Jenna Hoffman; Sr. Ashley Pavelko; Sr. Shannon Sweeney; Soph. Nicole Belade; Jr. Giya Perrin.
Outlook: O'Brien Tech brings back four starters, but the Condors will be small.
Head coach: Mike Collins (1st season)
2012-13 record: 4-16
Key players: Sr. Samantha Orner; Sr. Sarah Woolfrey, 6.4 ppg; Sr. Taylor Drayton, 13.7 ppg; ; Jr. Bobbie Stilson; Jr. Mackenzie Folsom; Jr. Melanie Cianciola; Jr. Julia Low-Chappell.
Outlook: Oxford has a legitimate go-to player in Drayton.
Coach's comment: "I have a great group of players who have been working extremely hard in practices and scrimmages. I could not be happier with the level of effort and commitment. There are a lot of really good teams and coaches in the league. We're hoping to build upon a positive preseason and carry that into league play."
Head coach: Joe Fortier (4th season, 60-14)
2012-13 record: 21-3 (Class L quarterfinal)
Key players: Sr. Hannah Metcalf, 11.1 ppg, 4 rpg., 2.5 assists, 4.5 steals; Jr. Katelyn Perrotti, 5.9 ppg, 6 rpg.
Outlook: The Panthers will rely on two key veterans in Metcalf and Perrotti.
Coach's take: "We are a fairly young team that will get better as the season goes on."
Head coach: Jon Wilson (13th season, 181-86)
2012-13 record: 12-9
Key players: Sr. Dominique Moise, 5.7 ppg; Sr. Rylie Mainville, 5.3 ppg, 6 reb; Jr. Chelse Robinson, 9.6 ppg, 9 reb; Jr. Madison Haskins; Jr. Lauren Drakeley.
Coach's take: "Mainville and Robinson gives us a big inside presence, and Haskins can play inside or out effectively. But while Moise gives us backcourt experience and overall leadership, our guard play is something of a question mark. We do have a few new guards who will probably play important minutes for us."
Head coach: Marty Pelosi
2012-13 record: 3-15
Key players: Sr. Marisa Littmann, 12.2 ppg, 6 rpg.; Sr. Gabby DeBartolomeo; Sr. Paige Cunningham, 6.5 ppg, 8 rpg.; Soph. Zulie Dunn; Jr. Sarah Peterson; Soph. Kaylie Daniels.
Coaches take: "Our starting five is solid but we will need contributions from an untested bench for us to be successful. We have talented front court players who will be counted on to score and rebound. Our guard play will dictate our success."
Head coach: Brian Hurlock (6th season)
2012-13 record: 6-14
Key players: Sr. Kim Stack; Jr. Mikey Albreada, 5.9 ppg; Jr. Casey Farrington, 5.2 ppg; Sr. Brianna Genest; Sr. Ashely Desrosiers.
Coach's take: "The team is working hard to develop as a cohesive unit on the floor, and development is a work in progress. The team is learning their personal roles and is striving to place the team ahead of personal goals. The goal is to make the state tournament after missing last season."

I noticed some fading gold decals on the 2009 Pirates line and the Muskets and Swords seem to wear more easily than the pistols
The Gold:
On the left is a old torso, on the right is a newer one. Notice how the Gold button is faded...
Same with Brickbeards...
Edit: Also note that the faces are a bit off too
However my Imperial Admiral (or Governor), Which is as old as the old soldier shown above,
is unaffected...
Same with this one, he's supposed to have some gold trimmings but they're gone
Now for the Weapons:
It's a bit hard to tell, but you can tell that the Muskets and Swords are made out a weaker plastic than Pistols. Its like a softer kind and wears more easily than other stuff which are made out of ABS Plastic
Try this: Get a Musket (or Cutlass) and a Minifig. Insert the Musket (or Cutlass) into the minifig's hand, then take it out, then insert it again for about 10 times. Then get a Pistol (or a stick) and do the same.
God pray no none else created a topic like this

Marketplace: Teen Nightclubs
One factor that influences the success rate of a new business is its capacity to attract customers from an under-served market--that is, a market served by few suppliers. In this lesson, you will look at a successful nightclub for teens and analyze its success by reference to this factor and others.
You will listen to a Marketplace audio file and use the embedded Note-Taker to identify the reasons for the success of Club One-Seven. Then you will analyze the information you collected and apply your analysis while developing a marketing campaign for Club One-Seven.
Activity 1:
Listen to the Marketplace audio file about 'Teen Nightclubs' (Play from 14:40 through 18:30.)
While you are listening, use the Note-Taker to find supporting details related to of the following three main factors, as they may help to explain the success of Club One-Seven:
- Marketing and Promotional Strategies
- Income Potential for the Nightclub
- Nightclub Manager's Concern for Safety of the Guests
As you listen to the segment, record any words that are unfamiliar to you; also record important economic terms.
Then listen to the audio file a second time to gather additional supporting details and possible definitions of the vocabulary words using context clues. Write or type these additional details and definitions in the Note-Taker outline.
Finally, you will be asked a series of questions related to the story. These questions are in the end section of the Note-Taker activity. Make sure to be specific in your answers.
Activity 2:
Visit the UCM Museum website for information regarding renting a room for private parties.
You have just been hired by the manager of the museum to encourage the organizers of high school proms to use the building for their proms. Develop a marketing campaign to target schools within a two hour radius of the museum. Consider the following:
- What 'traditional' marketing strategies might work when targeting teenagers?
- What 'innovative' marketing strategies can you think of that might be more effective when targeting teenagers?
- Since teenagers are an 'under-served market,' how might that affect your campaign?
- Is there anyone else you need to consider (other than teens at your school) who might influence a school's decision to hold the prom there?
- How will your campaign address those additional people?
What 'traditional' marketing strategies might work when targeting teenagers?

Is there anyone else you need to consider (other than the teens at the school) who might influence a school's decision?
- How will your campaign address those additional people?
After performing these activities, you should now be able to identify at least three main factors that help to explain the success of UCM Museum and Club One-Seven. You should also be able to identify techniques that might be used in a marketing and promotions strategy.
Evaluation 1:
Print a copy of your Note-Taker results to hand in to your teacher.
Evaluation 2:
Print a copy of your answers for Activity 2 and hand it in to your teacher. Your teacher will be looking for thoroughness and supporting information in your answers.
Evaluation 3:
Present your ideas from Activity 2 to the class. Discuss similarities and differences among and between the ideas you and your classmates included.

Rockies Arms Keep Cub Bats Quiet at Talking Stick
Matthew Carasiti threw five shutout innings and combined with three relievers to throw a four-hitter, and Raimel Tapia and Dillon Thomas drilled RBI singles, as the Rockies edged the Cubs 2-1 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning at Dust Storm Field at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Resort, east of Scottsdale, AZ.
Jeffrey Baez belted a solo HR to account for the Cubs lone run.
RHP Dillon Maples got the start for the Cubs and threw four innings (67 pitches), allowing one run on two hits (both singles), three walks, and a HBP. He struck out three and really had the sinker working (8/0 GO/FO). Maples did struggle with his comand throughout the first two innings (a 22-pitch 1st and a 25-pitch 2nd), but then retired six of the last seven men he faced on just 20 pitches. After completing his 67-pitch four inning stint, Maples went out to the bullpen and threw 20 more pitches, so he should be well stretched-out if the Cubs decide to move him up to Kane County before the end of Extended Spring Training. (FWIW, he also threw 78 pitches in an intrasquad game last Thursday).
LHP Kyler Burke (strained oblique rehab) "piggy-backed" with Maples and also threw four innings (58 pitches), allowing one run (it was unearned) on three hits (all singles) and a walk, with two strikeouts. He looks like he is about ready to leave EXST and join either Kane County, Daytona, or Tennessee (depending upon where a slot is available).
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1a. Rashad Crawford, CF: 0-2 (3-1, K, BB, SB)
1b. Jeffrey Baez, CF-DH: 1-1 (HR, R, RBI)
2. David Bote, SS: 0-4 (L-7, F-8, K, P-5)
3a. Yasiel Balaguert, RF: 1-3 (F-7, 2B, P-6)
3b. Garrett Schlecht, RF: 0-1 (F-7)
4a. Jose Dore, DH: 0-3 (K, K, 3-U)
4b. Xavier Batista, LF: 0-1 (F-8)
5a. Trevor Gretzky, LF: 0-3 (6-3, 4-3, 3-1)
5b. Frandy de la Rosa, SS: 0-1 (3-U)
6. Jacob Rogers, 1B: 0-3 (F-8, K, K)
7a. Brad Zapenas, 2B: 0-2 (HBP, 4-3, K)
7b. Kevin Encarnacion, CF: NO AB
8a. Carlos Escobar, C: 2-2 (2B, 1B)
8b. Neftali Rosario, C: 0-1 (6-3)

Continuing my temporary man
Continuing my temporary man love for Starlin Castro since he's such a favorite target, that was a helluvan at bat last night in the ninth. If I remember right, and trust me, there's less than a 50/50 chance I do, he was behind in the count, maybe 1-2, fouled off a bunch of pitches, then drove a no doubt about it double into the right field corner. That shows to me he is still a work in progress. Great at bats one day, but then another day he'll flail at something and look really bad. Also, I wonder if anyone has noticed or heard if Valbuena is doing anything differently at the plate. The sample size for this year is growing, and his numbers are quite the outlier compared to his career numbers: .264/.373/.483/.856. I thought I heard Deshaies say something about it but I didn't catch it.
Valbuena is a really
Valbuena is a really interesting case right now. He's getting a lot of platoon ABs, so I think that might be part of the trick. His BB% and K% are slightly improved, but not enough to justify the transformation of his batting line. His ISO has exploded, which would not be unheard of for a guy in his age-28 season. That explains why he has 5 HRs in 100 ABs, as opposed to 4 in 300 ABs last year. But the biggest question mark is the batting average. It's not being fueled by BABIP. It appears maybe he's actually improved both as a hitter and as a slugger this season. Small sample size still relevant; but as someone who has talked about a lot of shit about LV on these comments, I look forward to him having the opportunity to continue to get plate appearances and hopefully prove me wrong.
Edit: One more thought. From 2008 to 2012, he split each year between AAA and MLB, always putting up a good line at AAA and a bad line at MLB. Certainly someone who has had so many good ABs at AAA, and now so many plate appearances upstairs, has the possibility of translating some of their success given enough time to adjust. If he's truly a "late bloomer," (still a premature conclusion at this point) then he can probably expect a good 2-3 years from him before it all falls apart. Just long enough to keep the seat warm for Villanueva or Baez, hopefully.
"Great at bats one day, but
"Great at bats one day, but then another day he'll flail at something and look really bad."
If Castro wasn't flailing with two strikes in the eighth yesterday, it was because Rosenthal was throwing strictly fastballs and mostly strikes. There were no low outside pitches to flail at. (Rosenthal threw one breaking ball out of eleven pitches to Castro, and it was low-inside).
An eleven-pitch at-bat is pretty good, and it's tough to make even minor contact with eight 95+ fastballs in one trip to the plate. Even Sveum admits that Castro has remarkable hand-to-eye coordination. But before I call it a hell of an at-bat I would want to see him nudge the count to 3 balls, which he never did but could have done by the fifth pitch.
Rizzo came to the plate after Castro's double, and I liked his AB better. He took an outside fastball and then hit the next one to the wall in center. Rizzo comes to the plate with an idea of what he wants to do, an idea that goes beyond "see the ball, hit the ball." Baez is off to a slow start at Daytona but he has six bombs now. He, too, has an idea.
Ryan Sweeney tooks some

This fucking game
Baez lucky to not have hurt his hand with headfirst slide on play at plate in 12th inning.
Maddon's master plan to challenge his offense to improve on coming from behind late in games is working amazingly.
Everyone remember Starlin Castro dropping or misplaying just about every ball near second base that involved a tag?
Javier Baez is the opposite of that.
on the wild pitch thing, did they really call that a wild pitch on Jansen that Heyward scored on Friday? If so, I don't know what a passed ball is anymore.
Let's see -- up 3-0, at home, Jake on the mound annnnd....compare and contrast 2015 to 2016. Bleh.
Hopefully, the Pirates will uncork a series of 9th inning wild pitches.

the factual correction on your mistakes on your post that I barely bothered to read the first time because it had nothing to do with anything I wanted to talk about is indeed a sign of my degenerative brain condition. I appreciate the safety tip and will be looking into with extreme urgency now.
it took you 4 posts to get to this?

Fwiw, Billy Hamilton's actual WAR numbers that relate to the ones that I posted for Mike Trout are:
- 2014: 2.5

- 2016: 2.6
But by all means #crunchsplain on the stupidity of WAR while exaggerating your points. I can't wait to read more.

you can create new one, BUT you CAN update current one and mention that you are from uchiha clan + you should edit history in this case

Second, Can i make one up (e.g An Uzumaki but not Naruto or Nagato)
Third, If i dont get approved will i be told what will need to be changed in order to get approved
Fourth, Do i need to ask for permission? If so Who and Where?

Reason: spelling mistake left some words out
i just wanted to know why the backround music is necessary and how do you put up a video
sigh, i'll just take my time with it. Its better to not rush it, i've been rping for almost a year now x _ x and i know from experience that is not good to rush, so for this RPC i have i'll just take my time with it till i have accumulated enough post, other then that i'll just hang around in parks/random houses and the beach.
what rank does one start off as?
Can the bio be any character like zabuza or kisame nevermind already got that answered

Thnx for the info
I'm just starting nb rping. I'm making a bio and wanted to know how many elements can we start out with and how/when can we learn new ones.
For that background/theme music,is that needed?
Can you add extra things??
Does my rank decide how many elements I can put in my bio?
Why dont you close the other thread with the same information only worse?
Im currently making a Bio. Can I already know any ninjutsu? Or do i only know some basic ninjutsu that you dont need to write? If im starting as a Genin should i wright any ninjutsus at all? And can i posses an element or do i have to learn everything from training?
tried it....mahn nice template
Might I remind everyone of the fact that the template posted in this thread is the official template and your first priority is following it and not to make your bio appealing? As by now a lot of people just take it for granted that they can mess around the template as they see fit just so that it matches their coding. Till now I was always the one who edited it for them or let it slide when it was very minor. However recently most people started making more and more complex codings for their bio's and started to consider the basic template as something they could freely mess around with and new members just started copying them.
Henceforth I will decline bio's if they do not follow the template correctly, no matter how insignificant the problem might be and I will keep doing this until people realize again that the fundamental priority is following the template and that any kind of fancy coding is optional and that you take full responsibility for whatever problems that might cause. The only ones I give some slack are the people who made their first bio's, but anyone else who already made bio's should be aware of what the template looks like.
A few days ago I saw someone who just decided to remove their Village Info and only just said Village of Birth under Basic Information. Currently there is a coding going around that has been used in around 6 to 12 bio's and not a single one of all the persons noticed that there is a freaking huge coding error right in the middle of it and I was the one who had to edit it out and because the coding has become so complex, one tiny mistake of my part and the entire bio might look like hell. Originally when I had to edit stuff it was like playing like a child that is trying to get building blocks in the right hole, square in square, triangle in triangle. Now it feels like I'm doing surgery, making my job even harder and exhausting then it already was. A lot of people also stop counting their battles and then just minimize the Battles part of often even remove it =/
I don't care that you place smilies or N/A or whatever in the won/lost part or that you say "see bio" in the pictures part or that you don't actually post a Theme Song or that you even say in the looks part "see bio" or "see pictures"; however I'm sick of it that people's main concern is their coding and not the template.
So hereby you are warned as I'm going to decline bio's that don't follow it correctly, no matter how stupid the reason might appear to you as I'm responsible for all bio's and this is an issue that's occurring in a lot of them.

GAME DAY: St. Louis
Columbus continues its Midwest swing with a divisional showdown against the Blues tonight
Since a drastic turnaround led by current Blue Jackets president of hockey operations John Davidson, the St. Louis Blues have made Scottrade Center into one of the toughest road environments in the National Hockey League. But lately, that has not been the case.
The Blues have had some bumps in the road during the first 17 games of the season, and the biggest surprise of all has been their struggles on home ice. Since a 5-4 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild back on Jan. 27, the Blues have a record of 0-4-1 at the Scottrade Center and with the exception of a 6-5 shootout loss to Anaheim, they have been outscored 15-3 in the other three games of the skid. Their scoring woes have extended to the road, as well, highlighted by a 1-0 overtime loss in Denver earlier this week.
What's the crux of the Blues' issues? For one, the offense has dried up after an electric start to the season -- remember than 6-0 thrashing of the Red Wings on opening night? St. Louis currently has seven players with at least 12 points in the 17 games played, two of those being defensemen in Kevin Shattenkirk (one goal, 13 assists) and Alex Pietrangelo (three goals, nine assists). And it's definitely not the power play causing problems, either; the Blues' power play is head and shoulders the best unit in the league with a staggering 31.7 percent efficiency, which is 4.2 percent higher than the next-best team (Pittsburgh).
But there was also tough news on the injury front yesterday for St. Louis, which put standout rookie Vladimir Tarasenko on injured reserve after suffering a head injury on Wednesday night. Avalanche forward Mark Olver delivered a hit on Tarasenko that resulted in a severe facial laceration and Tarasenko did not return to the game.
On the positive side, goaltender Jaroslav Halak has returned to the lineup after missing seven games and looked strong in the Blues' loss to Colorado. He made 19 saves and could help provide stability in net for St. Louis, which relied heavily on rookie Jake Allen in Halak's absence. Halak is 15-1-1 in his last 17 starts at Scottrade Center.
- The only meeting between these teams this season was a 4-1 win for the Blues at Nationwide Arena on Jan. 31. Sergei Bobrovsky was pulled in the first period after giving up three goals on 11 shots, but was stellar in the Blue Jackets' road win in Detroit two nights ago.
- Alex Steen loves playing Columbus. The Blues center has put up seven points in his last six games against the Blue Jackets and he's currently the team's leading scorer with 15 points (four goals, 11 assists).
- Artem Anisimov, who left Thursday's game in Detroit on a stretcher after a scary second period collision, was released from the hospital on Friday afternoon and has returned to Columbus for further evaluation by team doctors.
- The Columbus Blue Jackets and Buffalo Wild Wings have announced a new multiyear partnership that is highlighted by a series of social media events to be hosted at central Ohio Buffalo Wild Wings locations during eight upcoming Blue Jackets road games. Tonight's event will take place at the Grandview restaurant starting at 7:30 p.m. when the Blue Jackets visit the St. Louis Blues. MORE DETAILS
Shattenkirk was a big piece of a late-night, blockbuster deal between the Blues and Avalanche a few years back. Former No. 1 pick Erik Johnson was sent to Denver in a multi-player deal that landed Shattenkirk and Chris Stewart in St. Louis, and both players have become key pieces to a very strong club in the Gateway City. Shattenkirk is still only 24 years old and developing into one of the best two-way defenders in the game, and many people around the game think there's still plenty of room for him to grow.

ST. LOUIS: Vladimir Tarasenko (head), injured reserve

Hi Ilias,
I send all that you have wished right back to you as well. As I seem to remember from years past when watching New Year's celebrations on tv, Aussie's celebrate New Year's first because of time zones. Have a great one!!!
Love, -Pam
Happy Happy New Year, may the new year bring health and prosperity to everyone.
Hi Ilias,
Thanks for that! And Happy New Year to you as well!
Best wishes,
Happy New Year Ilias!
Dear Ilias, thank you so very much. I saw some fireworks from Sydney on TV, awesome! Wishing you a wonderful year of Happiness and health!

Tech Tip 16
Compact Fluorescent Interference
- TV, VCR or other remote controls quit or do not work correctly, i.e. channel switching
- Loss of control from infrared detectors such as automatic doors or position sensors
- Compact fluorescent bulb or high efficiency fluorescent lighting located in the room
- Fluorescent lamp emits high frequency infrared light on infrared remote receiver
- Relocate lamps to reduce their light from hitting the receiver
- Replace lamps and/or ballasts with different brand or model
Compact fluorescent light, CFL bulbs and some fluorescent ballasts increase lighting efficiency by driving the lamp at frequencies higher than the 60Hz utility power. They produce light that looks constant to the human eye. Careful examination of the light with instruments shows some ripple at twice their switching frequency.
Some of the light from all lamps is infrared and not visible to humans. The infrared light from these lamps also has ripple characteristics at twice the switching frequency.
Most remote controls for TVs, VCRs, and CATV controllers use infrared light to communicate. The remote control receiver must be able to detect very low light levels from the hand-held remote control. This sets the stage for problems.
The infrared light ripple from the lamps sometimes is close to the carrier frequency of the remote control. Problems occur when the high frequency infrared light overpowers or confuses the receiver as in Fig 1.
Figure 1: Fluorescent Light Interference with Remote Controls
This causes loss of control, volume drift, channel changing, and related problems for TVs VCRs. Similar problems occur for other consumer remote control products.
Commercial and industrial buildings can experience similar problems. TV stores are especially susceptible. Sometimes motion detectors for automatic doors are affected. Infrared position sensors may also be affected.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict problems without detailed technical information. There is little coordination between lighting and remote control manufacturers to prevent problems. Some lights are more likely to interfere than others. Some remote controls are more sensitive than others.
For residential problems with TVs, the offending bulb may have to be moved so it's light does not land on the TV. A different lamp shade might help. Another solution is to try a different lamp brand or model. These may prevent unnecessary service calls from TV repair shops.
Commercial and industrial applications should consider possible impacts in advance. Most lighting catalogues will show the switching frequency of the high frequency ballasts. The infrared light frequency will be twice the switching frequency. Check with controller specifications to avoid problems.
