Question: I am having questions concerning hyphenating. Should the first two words of the following combination of words be hyphenated?
high growth companies
multiple year targets
long term incentives
multiple year targets
Then there is a statement:
long term, multiple year plan
Answer: These are all examples of "compound modifiers." A compound modifier is defined as two or more words that combine to express a single concept.
The punctuation convention is to hyphenate compound modifiers whenever they appear in phrases in which the relationship among the words might be ambiguous or confusing. In general, this principle works to produce this rule:
Hyphenate a compound modifier when it appears before a noun. Do not hyphenate a compound modifier when it appears in the predicate.
All of the examples you have supplied position the compound before the noun. It would be usual to hyphenate them all. On the other hand, in the following sentences, they would all be open:
The company has experienced high growth.
Our targets span multiple years.
Our incentives are for the long term.
This strikes many writers as inconsistent and impossibly confusing. But punctuation, you see, is less a hard-and-fast system of rules than it is a service profession. It's not sporting to force a reader to read a phrase three times to divine the relat ionships among the words. The hyphen is a tool good writers use to speed the reader on his way. But good writers are also efficient. They don't use extra punctuation when it's not needed. Thus, the rule is to use hyphens only when they are needed for clarity.
Question (From the Internet): Should I hyphenate labor intensive?
Answer: A compound modifier should be hyphenated in a position before a noun (e.g., a "labor-intensive activity"). It should be left open in predicate adjective position (e.g., "The activity will be labor intensive."). The hyphen s erves to eliminate ambiguity in the former construction. No ambiguity is possible in the second construction, so the hyphen is useless and distracting--instead of thinking about all that work, you think about whether you're adding to the work by worrying about hyphens.
Question (From the Internet): Following the example of The New Yorker, I like to spell out most numbers. This raises the question of when (and why) to hyphenate. For example, what should I do with these?
The other readers and I thank Jill and you for your generous gift one-hundred dollars to the . . .
Answer: Stylebooks differ on their recommendations as to when a writer should abandon spelled-out numbers and move to an arabic format.
Stylebooks for publications with short deadlines and narrow column widths usually move to arabic when numbers are two digits or more (at number 10; q.v., The AP Stylebook and Libel Manual).
Stylebooks for publications with longer deadlines and wider column widths often recommend moving to arabic either when numbers begin to be hyphenated (at number 21) or when they are three digits or more (at number 100; q.v., The Chicago Manual of St yle).
As you note, many numbers under 100 are hyphenated in their spelled-out form: 21-29; 31-39; . . . 91-99 are hyphenated in any position in a sentence. Other spelled-out numbers are hyphenated only when they qualify as a compound modifier that stands bef ore a noun.
You are noticing hyphens in compound modifiers and are mistaking them for hyphens in numbers. In the example you give, one-hundred dollars is hyphenated because one-hundred is a compound adjective standing before dollars. There wou ld be no hyphen in "He lived to be one hundred." Similarly, we hyphenate a thirty-three-year-old man rather liberally, but are much more conservative about "The man was thirty-three years old."
The reason for hyphenating compound modifiers before nouns is to eliminate ambiguity. The hyphen helps the reader figure out what attaches to what. When the phrase stands in isolation, such help isn't needed.
It would take me a while to explain hyphenation of compound modifiers adequately, but hyphenation of numbers is fairly straightforward. You seem to want to adopt a literary style. If so, the rules are to spell out all numbers up to ninety-nine, and to use arabic for numbers 100 and over, unless they are round numbers used casually. In this style, no number is hyphenated unless it is embedded in a compound modifier that stands before a noun.
I know this seems terribly complicated. Does it comfort you to know that it is generally considered the most complicated and perverse issue in editorial style?
Question: Is it ever acceptable to use deers' as the plural possessive of deer in writing, as opposed to deer's, to clarify that you intend for there to be more than one deer? (For example, the deer's/deers' antlers?)
Answer: Oh dear. No, I don't think so. I've never seen this construction and would think that on the principle of equity alone the possessive deer must take the same chance at ambiguity as the plural deer.
Sometimes using the prepositional phrase has the unfortunate effect of shifting the emphasis of the sentence, but in writing there are always tradeoffs. It is probably better to shift the emphasis of the sentence a little than to form a possessive cons truction so quirky that your reader takes a ten-minute detour to the cold embrace of H.W. Fowler.
Question: I am preparing one manual, of which many will be printed, for many instructors. Sometimes one instructor does the workshop, sometimes more. With one manual and many copies, an instructor will get an instructor's manual, but will THE manual be the instructors' manual?
Answer: Each instructor receives only one manual, so the relationship is fundamentally singular. I recommend instructor's manual. This is the convention followed in academic publishing. The writing handbook distributed to all teachers of freshman English at N.C. State, for example, is called an annotated instructor's edition. It is, of course, the edition that is annotated, not the instructor.
Question: (From an undergraduate English major, writing from his summer job): In the software manual I am writing, I have administrative-level users and non-administrative(?)level users. Please tell me how to hyphenate these two te rms. The hyphen in question is, of course, where the question mark sits.
Answer: You do have a problem with a hyphen, but you have unjustly targeted the wrong one. The questionable hyphen is here:
non(?)administrative-level user
The second hyphen, the one between administrative and level, is uncontroversial. It clarifies the relationship between two adjectives that work together to form a compound modifier. When a compound modifier stands before a noun, it is hyp henated to eliminate ambiguity. Only a small businessman (not a small-business man) shops for a suit at the Mickey Rooney Outlet Mall.
The hyphen between non and administrative is more interesting. If your technology will allow it, use an N-dash (slightly longer than a hyphen, but shorter than a traditional dash). The N-dash attaches the prefix to the whole of the hyphen ated compo und adjective following. If you can't generate an N-dash, you're stuck with way too many hyphens--and an awkward construction. This dilemma leads you to a revelation (and a broad writing principle): Punctuation is a useful tool, but it can't fi x deeper pr oblems with meaning.
You can finesse your semantic problem by taking a syntactic approach and moving the compound adjective out of harm's way--into a position in the sentence where it won't take the second hyphen; e.g., "users at the administrative level . . .," but this i s a quick fix and will work only if you aren't using the phrase very much.
Ultimately, you will find that the only permanent way to solve a semantic problem is to apply a semantic solution. In short, you need to designate the categories of users more specifically. The problem with "non-administrative-level user" is not that i t's hard to hyphenate; it's that the category is too broad. Addressing the issue of audience now will give your whole manual a better focus.
Question 1: On your web page of archived questions, you responded to one about using a hyphen in compound adjectives--specifically, you stated that an N-dash>should be used in the following construction:
Answer: I am almost certain that this was not the phrase in question. Administrative user is a noun. I would not have advised anyone to hyphenate it. Are you sure the phrase wasn't something like non-administrative-level user? The compound in question ought to have been an adjective.
Question 2: While I certainly do not wish to seem like I am challenging or disputing this usage, I would really appreciate knowing the source or reference book that supports this use of the N-dash.
Answer: The source is The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993, section 5.117:
The en-dash is also used in place of a hyphen in a compound adjective when one of the elements of the adjective is an open compound (such as New York) or when two or more of the elements are hyphenated compounds:
New York<N-dash>London flight
post<N-dash>Civil War period
quasi-public<N-dash>quasi-judicial body
non-English-speaking countries
not-to-be-forgotten moment
Note that non-English-speaking countries is not the same kind of usage as non<N-dash>administrative-level user--or even non<N-dash>administrative user. In non-English-speaking countries, the non attaches t o English, not to speaking. In non<N-dash>administrative-level user, the non attaches to administrative, not to level. In non<N-dash>administrative user, the N-dash attaches to administrative , not to user.
Question 3: The reason I am asking is that a colleague and I are addressing the N-dash issue at work, where we are preparing an internal style guide. We are looking for a couple good examples of using the N-dash to combine two double compounds, versus using a comma to separate two double compounds.
For example, a comma logically separates rootin'-tootin', gun-totin' cowpoke.
The only thing I can think of is where an N-dash would replace a slash, such as in an and/or or either/or construction, but I can't think of a realistic example of an and/or or either/or construction using two compound adjec tives.
Can you help?
Answer: Chicago's quasi-public<N-dash>quasi-judicial body qualifies, though I don't suppose it has much place in the Wild West, and I don't like it much. It's close to what you're looking for, but I think I'd still opt for a comma.< /P>
My real advice, however, is much more sweeping. It is this: Cease and desist. I've been an editor for twenty-five years, and I've never seen a usable in-house style guide--certainly not one that covers a level of detail as arcane as the proper use of N -dashes. If you need a style manual, review the manuals available commercially, adopt one, and stick to it. You may provide a short (no more than book-plate<N-dash>sized) list of exceptional terms that are specific to your industry. Glue it to the f lyleaf of the manual you adopt.
Do you doubt my advice? Answer this: Are you planning to index your manual? I'll bet you aren't. Now think about how you use a manual. You've been looking for the answer to your N-dash problem in all kinds of manuals. Where is the first place you look when you pick up a manual? If you say "the index" and you're not planning to provide an index, you're in trouble.

How to Deal With Being in a Relationship With an Older Guy
All relationships have advantages and pitfalls. May-September relationships (where the man is significantly older than the woman, usually by at least a generation) have their special challenges. Knowing what to expect can make the difference in the relationship.
1Determine why you are choosing someone older as a relationship partner.
- Sometimes the relationship is a superficial one, based upon the man's financial situation. This stereotype is seen often in the media, and therefore makes people immediately think that if you're with an older man, it's because of his money.
- Other women prefer much older men because they are attracted to the knowledge, experience and/or wisdom that comes with those years.
- Still other women prefer older men, but only if they appear to be younger than they are. This helps negate some of the "gold digger" comments.
- Still other women choose older men because they had an unhappy or nonexistent relationship with their father, and are trying to fill that hole they feel in their lives.
- Other women have a "caretaker" instinct that draws them to older men who genuinely care and appreciate their kindness.
- Older men tend to be more grateful for their relationship with someone younger, and are somewhat less likely to cheat.
2Realize that you'll have to deal with prejudice.
- You'll be mistaken for the man's daughter or granddaughter on occasion.
- Prepare to hear people humming "You're Sixteen" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me" near you.
- Some friends will immediately think your boyfriend is creepy and will think you crazy for dating this man. You may have to convince them of his good qualities.
3If the relationship would be an illegal one, strongly consider the consequences.
- This means that if you're under 18, you could be subjecting the person you want to date to possible criminal charges. Even your consent is not enough to overcome statutory rape. It is in the man's interest that you keep the relationship platonic until a romantic relationship is legal.
4Remember to include your boyfriend in some of your activities, and let him know that he's welcome to include you in some of his activities.
- This will help people see that you two are not just a "secret" embarrassing item, but that you two actually do have a relationship built upon attraction, respect, trust, and shared experiences.
5Think about the future, especially if you consider marriage.
- If you want to start a family. An older parent isn't necessarily a bad thing ... children are born to parents who are in their 40s.
- If you're in a March-November relationship instead of a May-September relationship (a 2-generation difference) then you need to prepare for the very real possibility that you will outlive your partner while you are still young or early middle-aged. Be sure end-of-life concerns are taken care of for your partner, and that you are emotionally ready for the stress: both during the relationship and after.
6If you two really do love each other for the right reasons, most people will eventually accept your relationship. Those who don't either can't see past their prejudices or don't care about your happiness.
Community Q&A
What should I do if I'm 14 years old and my boyfriend is 20 years old?wikiHow ContributorIt is better to find someone your age who will really understand you. Better advice would be to hold off on dating at all until you are a little bit older and understand relationships better. Also, having a boyfriend over 18 while you are under 18 is illegal.
How do I handle a boyfriend who is six years older than me?
What if the girl is 20 years younger?
- Be yourself. An older man isn't only looking for a younger woman, but he also wants to find a woman who is mature, somebody he can talk to about serious matters. Remember, if you want him to see you as an equal, show him you are.
- Make him and his mates know that you're not immature, this way he'll respect you even more.
- Don't let him mess you around just because you're younger.
- If you have negative people in your life coming in between you and your partner, it's time to think about whether you should keep them in your life.
- Some men who have been divorced, particularly when they have been unfaithful or addicted to porn, or men who have lived a life of promiscuity naturally gravitate to much younger women. Be extra cautious in these situations; some anecdotal evidence suggests that they might repeat their behaviors, which could ruin your life and leave you heartbroken.

Hey guys, i'm an 8th grader, and last year as a 7th grader i ran a 5:28...
I'm very confident that this year i will be able to run a 4:30-4:40. I trained quite a bit over the summer and now during the winter am starting up again. I also attended the Jim Ryun running camp in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Hi all,
I am a seventh grader. My mile time at the beginning of the year was around 7:20. After working really hard, my current PR from the last track meet was 5:53!

Cillian Murphy, from Co. Cork native, is a successful actor, both at home as a leading man in movies like "Intermission" and "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" and overseas as the "bad guy" in movies like "Batman Begins" and "Red Eye" (he was nominated for a Golden Globe for this role). Whatever the role, we appreciate Cillian's (pronounced KILL-ian) talent - and looks.
In 2000, Andrea Corr was voted 26 on FHM's "100 Sexiest Women" list, and she continues to be one of Ireland's best-looking women, along with her sisters Sharon and Caroline. So we'll forgive the Corrs for occasionally making some pretty much God-awful music.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers may be a bit of a Colin Farrell-bad boy (he was arrested in 2007 on charges of public drunkenness and breach of the peace and has attended rehab more than once), but this Dublin-born actor, singer and model has earned awards for his television work ("The Tudors" and "Elvis") and critical acclaim for his film work (most notably for "Velvet Goldmine.")
Coyle famously lied on her application form for an Irish version of "American Idol," saying that she was 18 when she was in fact 16. She was one of the winners of the show, and got to join an all girls pop banded called Six. When the truth was uncovered, she was booted out of the band - which may in fact have been the best thing to have every happened to her. Later she entered "Popstars" (a U.K. version of American Idol) and won: today she is one of the members of the band that emerged from that, Girls Aloud, which has become one of the most successful British pop bands of the decade. (Today, Six are available for children's birthday and various other family functions.) She has been romantically linked to a series of male celebrities: Jesse Metcalf from "Desperate Housewives" and NFL player Jason Bell. It's not hard to see how they could fall for this lovely Derry lass.
Nooo, this is not just Charlize Theron's long-time partner - this is the handsome face of one of Ireland's gifted actor/directors. The dark-featured stud was first noticed overseas for his role of a seducer in 2000's "About Adam," and then as a vampire in 2002's hit "Queen of the Damned," which co-starred Aaliyah. It's his star power and good Irish looks that make this Howth, Co. Dublin native much more than Charlize's arm candy...
Cute in a very indie-chick kind of way, Gemma Hayes, from a village called Ballyporeen, Co. Tipperary, has been on the music scene in Ireland for a few years now. Presumably she was the inspiration behind the Counting Crows song, "Washington Square," when he sings "I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley / And I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen." And looking at her, it's easy to see why Adam Duritz would feel inspired a song about her.
Our one and only sportsman that made the list. "The Derry Destroyer" may sound scary, but when you get a look at him, fear will be the last thing on your mind. Ireland's famous middleweight boxer is known in the States for his fights at Madison Square Garden, including his St. Patrick's Day fight against Leonard Pierre - all of which he won. He is also known for his rugged handsomeness. Duddy has won over fans with his athleticism, looks and his commitment to Irish immigration reform in the U.S.; the boxer has attended numerous Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform meetings, and even entered the ring in March 2006 donning an ILIR t-shirt.
The first, and only, Irish Miss World, Davison is also famous for the being the daughter of Chris de Burgh. De Burgh was famous for being the singer of the song "Lady in Red," beloved of cheesy romantics everywhere. (The most recent survey on this song found that over 2 million couples claim this as "our song.") In normal circumstances, De Burgh should be shot for crimes against music; but he can surely plead clemency on the basis that his daughter is so incredibly beautiful. (Although maybe this didn't work as an excuse when his wife, recovering from a serious horse riding accident at the time, discovered he was having an affair with their nanny.)
So technically he's Irish AMERICAN, but comedian Des Bishop is widely considered an honorary Irishman since he has lived in Ireland since he was 15, has created numerous Irish t.v. shows and is now fluent in Gaelic. Therefore, we feel justified in claiming him as one of our own and adding him to the list (his boyish good looks and great sense of humor didn't hurt his chances either). New York City-born Des is famous in Ireland for his hilarious comedy shows and his stand up (and for singing "Jump Around," or in Gaelic, "Leim Thart").
Probably one of the best things to have happened to Irish music in a long while was for Damien Rice to have kicked Lisa Hannigan out of his band. Hannigan had been his backing singer and was always the best thing about a lot of Rice's songs. Rice always came across as being an entirely self-absorbed misery cuts; Hannigan's debut album "Sea Sew," is an altogether more charming and playful affair, and one of the best solo albums from an Irish singer-songwriter in years. And did we mention how gorgeous she is? She looks like the kind of girl who doesn't actually know she is ridiculously hot, making her even more hot.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
"Everyone's trying really hard to do the three-act structure, and write like movies, and do it by the book. You know what you can do in comics? You can do anything. So what I did was to have the impossible happen. There's a bit in [Action Comics #18] when Superman comes to the audience and says: 'If we do the impossible, the devil disappears.' And you go: What? How? Why? I put it in there because nowhere else — you couldn't get away with it in TV, you couldn't get away with it in movies. I wanted to show that comics can actually do the impossible. Here's a comic that would never get by a committee. This is true weirdness. I'm hoping it will be an actual experience for people. I want it to be almost psychedelic on that level. People should go check it out, because it's Psychedelic Superman."
– Grant Morrison, discussing the conclusion of his run on Action Comics with this week's Issue 18
Hey Morrison, here's a shock for you – – It doesn't work in comics either.
Good storytelling is good storytelling no matter what the format. Being weird because you can doesn't mean its any good.
Now let's see you write something other than the same Animal Man story over and over or the Batman story you've been stretching out for decades now.
except the three act structure isn't 'good storytelling', I mean it can be, but it is just a template for telling a story – a template that happens to be extremely overdone
Respectfully disagree. His batman run was intentionally cryptic and full of both clues to the greater story, as well as red herrings. It's very format is a mystery for you to pick clues out of and discover the truth, because, after all, it's about the worlds greatest detective. It may come off as gibberish initially, but it becomes much clearer with subsequent rereads.
@nWoJeffDW – What doesn't work in comics? Morrison never said anything specific works.
@christianizcool – He never said the three act structure is 'good storytelling'. You are using quotes, but what are you quoting? You are arguing against a point that isn't made too.
I'd tend to agree that you can shift between frames of reference more quickly than in any other medium. I've seen animated movies move from Bugs Bunny-type hijinks to HEAVY METAL-style fantasies, but when such films do this, the different frames still remain distinct due to the differing technologies involved. An artist's pen, in contrast, has work far less to convince us that Spider-Man and Howard the Duck occupy the same page.
But then, I speak as one who got a headache from watching WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
Bill Walko's webcomic "The Hero Business" I believe hit the nail on the head with this idea:
Comics can do the impossible but comics still can't make that Superman redesign look good.
Boy, I love Morrison's work.
Remember when Grant Morisson's totally "original"…
[i] There's a bit in [Action Comics #18] when Superman comes to the audience and says: 'If we do the impossible, the devil disappears.' And you go: What? How? Why? [/i]
…was what saved me in Peter Pan?
Or if I'm too old for you, remember when that "totally original" thing Morisson does was the season 3 finale in Dr. Who? Yes, he is totally "original" and "transcending" stuff.
I wouldn't trade Morrison's attitude for anything, but it does lead to incoherent and/or incomprehensible comics at times. It's alienating to people who regularly read comics, so I don't know what the hell it must be like for new readers, or someone who think his Superman run sounds cool after reading an EW interview.

urban expressions
The company itself is founded in a similar intersection between fashion and function. Owners Kyle Vojdani and Farbod Shakouri were always interested in the fashion industry, and attended middle and high school together before parting ways to attend rival universities. Both men completed their degrees, and Kyle, who had taken a job for a textile manufacturer while in school, took his knowledge of the industry to a new level in 2004 and launched Urban Expressions. Then, in 2005, Farbod joined Urban Expressions while the two friends were watching a soccer match together. Kyle's creativity was perfectly complimented by Farbod's analytical mind, and together the two continue working to maintain that same incredible balance in their products.
By embracing these two seemingly contradictory elements of style and utility, Urban Expressions successfully navigates the modern handbag market with ease. For women who live a fashion-forward lifestyle but also enjoy the convenience of a functional bag, we're pleased to offer a selection of Urban Expressions bags.

Active control of Rayleigh–Bénard convection9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869335View Description Hide Description
We report on stabilizing the unstable no-motion state in a moderate aspect ratio one-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard convection experiment. A linear proportional control algorithm uses shadowgraphic convection images to determine heat flux perturbations which are applied to the lower boundary by a network of local heaters. We show that simple linear control stabilizes the otherwise unstable no-motion (conduction) state over a substantial range of supercritical Rayleigh numbers.
Depth of penetration of bubbles entrained by a plunging water jet9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869336View Description Hide Description
A model is proposed to predict the depth of penetration of the air bubbles entrained by a round water jet impacting into a flat, liquid pool. This depth is shown to be determined only by the initial jet momentum and by the non-monotonic nature of the bubble terminal velocities as a function of their size. The model is shown to be in excellent agreement with measurements of the depth and width of penetration of the bubbles performed over a wide range of jet diameters, velocities, and plunging angles.

A wall-based detection scheme is described which effectively detects coherent structures and predicts downstream flow behavior. A simple demonstration, using three wall-based sensors and a single actuator, achieves a maximum of 31% reduction in and 17% reduction in
A diffuse-interface description of internal waves in a near-critical fluid9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869309View Description Hide Description
We present a diffuse-interface treatment of the internal gravity waves which have been observed experimentally by Berg et al. in xenon near its thermodynamic critical point. The results are compared with theoretical predictions by Berg et al. that were obtained using separate models above and below the critical temperature The diffuse-interface model applies both above and below and is formulated by using the density as an order parameter. The diffuse interface is represented as a transition zone of rapid but smooth density variation in the model, and density gradients appear in a capillary tensor, or Korteweg stress term, in the momentum equation. We obtain static density profiles, compute internal wave frequencies and compare with the experimental data and theoretical results of Berg et al. both above and below the critical temperature. The results reveal a singularity in the diffuse-interface model in the limit of incompressible perturbations.
Stability of an isorotating liquid bridge in an axial gravity field9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869475View Description Hide Description
The stability problem for the axisymmetric equilibrium states of an isorotating liquid bridge between equidimensional circular disks in a constant axial gravity field is considered. In particular, we examine the stability of bridges satisfying two constraints that are typical for the floating zone method used for materials purification and single crystal growth. First we consider the constraint that the relative volume of the bridge, is equal to 1. Here, is the ratio of the actual bridge volume to that of a cylinder pinned to the edges of disks. For this case, the critical values of the slenderness (Λ) (ratio of the disk separation to the diameter) and of the free surface slopes at both disks have been determined for a wide range of the Bond and Weber numbers. The second constraint is that the surface slope at one of the disks is prescribed. The chosen values are 90° and 75° and correspond to extremes in growth angle values encountered in floating zone crystal growth. For this case, the dependencies of critical Λ and values and have been calculated. In addition, both axial gravity directions are considered separately and the values of the slope angle, at the other disk are also analyzed for critical states. The solution of the stability problem for any liquid bridge is discussed in detail using the case for as an example. In particular, the relationship between the general boundary of the stability region and the stability of bridges subject to the constraints outlined above is examined.
Bifurcation of the equilibrium states of a weightless liquid bridge9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869310View Description Hide Description
The bifurcation of the solutions of the nonlinear equilibrium problem of a weightless liquid bridge with a free surface pinned to the edges of two coaxial equidimensional circular disks is examined. The bifurcation is studied in the neighborhood of the stability boundary for axisymmetric equilibrium states with emphasis on the boundary segment corresponding to nonaxisymmetric critical perturbations. The first approximations for the shapes of the bifurcated equilibrium surfaces are obtained. The stability of the bifurcated states is then determined from the bifurcation structure. Along the maximum volume stability limit, depending on values of the system parameters, loss of stability with respect to nonaxisymmetric perturbations results in either a jump or a continuous transition to stable nonaxisymmetric shapes. The value of the slenderness at which a change in the type of transition occurs is found to be Experimental investigation based on a neutral buoyancy technique agrees with this prediction. It shows that, for the jump is finite and that a critical bridge undergoes a finite deformation to a stable nonaxisymmetric state.
Fully nonlinear oscillatory convection in a rotating layer9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869311View Description Hide Description
Two-dimensional overstable convection in a rotating layer is studied for large Taylor numbers. In this regime, the leading order nonlinearity arises from the distortion of the horizontally averaged temperature profile. Fully nonlinear solutions in the form of traveling and standing waves are obtained via an asymptotic expansion in the Taylor number. The formulation leads to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for the vertical structure and frequency of each solution type and allows the computation of the Nusselt number and frequency as functions of the applied Rayleigh number.
The effect of slight viscosity on a near-critical swirling flow in a pipe9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869312View Description Hide Description
The effect of slight viscosity on a near-critical axisymmetric incompressible swirling flow in a straight pipe is studied. We demonstrate the singular behavior of a regular-expansion solution in terms of the slight viscosity around the critical swirl. This singularity infers that large-amplitude disturbances may be induced by the small viscosity when the incoming flow to the pipe has a swirl level around the critical swirl. It also provides a theoretical understanding of Hall's boundary layer separation analogy to the vortex breakdown phenomenon. In order to understand the nature of flows in this swirl range, we develop a small-disturbance analysis. It shows that a small but finite viscosity breaks the transcritical bifurcation of solutions of the Euler equations at the critical swirl into two branches of solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. These branches fold at limit points near the critical swirl with a finite gap between the two branches. This means that no near-columnar equilibrium state can exist for an incoming flow with swirl close to the critical level and the flow must develop large disturbances in this swirl range. Beyond this range, two equilibrium states may exist under the same inlet/outlet conditions. When the flowReynolds number is decreased this special behavior uniformly changes into a branch of a single equilibrium state for each incoming swirl. We also derive a weakly nonlinear approach to study the effect of slight viscosity on standing waves in a long pipe. This special behavior of viscoussolutions shows good agreement with the numerical simulations of the axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations by Beran and Culick and provides a theoretical understanding of these computations. The relevance of the results to the axisymmetric vortex breakdown in a pipe is also discussed.
Convective and absolute instability of a liquid jet in a longitudinal magnetic field9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869308View Description Hide Description
A circular jet of perfectly conductive inviscid liquid in a uniform longitudinal magnetic field can be absolutely or convectively unstable for different values of the flow parameters. Higher intensity of the field always reduces the domain of absolute instability. For both cases of absolute and convective instability, the corresponding jet of large but finite length is globally unstable if suitable boundary conditions hold at its beginning and end. The unstable global mode is based on a pair of waves that propagate in opposite directions and reflect from one into the other at the flow boundaries.
The long-time motion of vortex sheets with surface tension9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869313View Description Hide Description
We study numerically the simplest model of two incompressible, immiscible fluids shearing past one another. The fluids are two-dimensional, inviscid, irrotational, density matched, and separated by a sharp interface under a surface tension. The nonlinear growth and evolution of this interface is governed by only the competing effects of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability and the dispersion due to surface tension. We have developed new and highly accurate numerical methods designed to treat the difficulties associated with the presence of surface tension. This allows us to accurately simulate the evolution of the interface over much longer times than has been done previously. A surprisingly rich variety of behavior is found. For small Weber numbers, where there are no unstable length-scales, the flow is dispersively dominated and oscillatory behavior is observed. For intermediate Weber numbers, where there are only a few unstable length-scales, the interface forms elongating and interpenetrating fingers of fluid. At larger Weber numbers, where there are many unstable scales, the interface rolls-up into a "Kelvin-Helmholtz" spiral with its late evolution terminated by the collision of the interface with itself, forming at that instant bubbles of fluid at the core of the spiral. Using locally refined grids, this singular event (a "topological" or "pinching" singularity) is studied carefully. Our computations suggest at least a partial conformance to a local self-similar scaling. For fixed initial data, the pinching singularity times decrease as the surface tension is reduced, apparently towards the singularity time associated with the zero surface tension problem, as studied by Moore and others. Simulations from more complicated, multi-modal initial data show the evolution as a combination of these fingers, spirals, and pinches.
Acoustic waves in unbounded shear flows9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869314View Description Hide Description
The linear evolution of acoustic waves in a fluid flow with uniform mean density and uniform shear of velocity is investigated. The process of the mean flow energy extraction by the three-dimensional acoustic waves, stimulated by the non-normal character of the linear dynamics in the shear flow, is analyzed. The thorough examination of the dynamics of different physical variables characterizing the wave evolution is presented. The physics of gaining of the shear energy by acoustic waves is described.
Experiments on capillary-gravity waves of solitary type on deep water9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869315View Description Hide Description
It is shown that capillary-gravity waves of solitary type on deep water can be generated by the resonant excitation of a water surface at a speed close to the phase-speed of free waves. This speed depends upon the wave amplitude. When the source of excitation is removed, the waves are shown to propagate as free solitary waves, damped by viscosity.
A model of wave dynamics in the far wake of a cylinder9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869316View Description Hide Description
Interesting interactions in the far wake behind a cylinder, leading in particular to the appearance of a strong secondary oblique wave, have recently been discovered experimentally by Williamson and Prasad [J. Fluid Mech. 256, 269, 315 (1993)]. They are induced from a very small amount of noise, added to the decaying primary wave. The problem is investigated theoretically with simple amplitude equations, based on temporal instability of the small amplitude waves. The symmetry of the wake flow requires that quadratic interactions arise only among triads of wave numbers involving one varicose and two sinuous waves, or three varicose waves. As the primary wave, corresponding to vortex shedding, is sinuous, the interacting secondary waves must be of opposite parities. In this case, it is found that the sinuous wave will always prevail downstream. The preferential appearance of the secondary oblique wave in the far wake can be reproduced by letting an initially very small varicose parallel wave interact with the primary wave. The secondary oblique wave results from a classical three-wave, quadratic nonlinear interaction between the waves. In addition, our model reproduces the observation that upon increasing the noise amplitude the oblique wave appears sooner (further upstream) in the wake. The occurrence of parallel waves very far downstream, which depends on the frequency relationship between the waves, can be understood by considering the interactions between parallel and oblique secondary waves of both parities. We propose a reasonable scenario explaining the experimental observations of Williamson and Prasad.
Thermal inertial waves in a rotating fluid layer: Exact and asymptotic solutions9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869317View Description Hide Description
The problem of the onset of convective instability in a rapidly rotating fluid layer heated from below with various velocity boundary conditions is investigated by constructing exact solutions and by asymptotic analysis. It is shown that convective motions at sufficiently small Prandtl numbers are described in leading order by a thermal inertial wave. It is at the next order that buoyancy forces drive the wave against the weak effect of viscous dissipation. On the basis of the perturbation of the thermal inertial wave, asymptotic convectionsolutions for rigid boundaries can be expressed in simple analytic form. A new asymptotic power law between the critical Rayleigh number and the Ekman number is derived. In addition, solutions for both stationary and time-dependent convection are calculated numerically. Comparison between the numerical and asymptotic solutions is then made to show that a satisfactory quantitative agreement has been achieved.
A wavelet-packet census algorithm for calculating vortex statistics9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869318View Description Hide Description
A generalized wavelet-packet based technique for decomposing signals into coherent and noncoherent parts is presented. The method is tested on the vorticity field of numerical simulations of weakly decaying two-dimensional turbulence. The easily recognizable coherent vortex structures that emerge are systematically filtered from the solution. Once extracted, various properties of the vortices, such as their number, size, circulation, and peak value are computed. The results compare well with a similar study [J. Fluid Mech. 219, 361 (1990); Phys. Fluids 5, 608 (1993)], which employs a complex pattern recognition technique based exclusively on a priori knowledge of the properties of the solution—that is, the features typical of the resulting vortex structures. The similarity of the results is encouraging, suggesting that the wavelet packet technique, by absorbing much of the complexity into the mathematical features of the transform itself, can provide an efficient, standardized tool that is readily extendible to more complex problems in two and three dimensions.
Azimuthal mode measurements of elliptic jets9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869319View Description Hide Description
A procedure to quantitatively measure the relative amplitudes of azimuthal modes in the acoustic field of an elliptic jet is presented. The work describes how the azimuthal modes in an elliptic jet can be represented by a linear combination of Mathieu function modes and how the amplitude coefficients of each individual mode can be determined through an orthogonal decomposition based on Mathieu functions. The modal decomposition is performed in an elliptic cylindrical coordinate system natural to the elliptic jet geometry. The procedure is first tested on an artificially excited, perfectly expanded Mach 1.5 elliptic jet with preferential varicose and flapping mode excitation of discrete frequencies. The excitation was provided with a four electrodeglow dischargesystem with phase control of the individual electrodes. Following that, the procedure was applied to naturally excited Mach 1.5 jets with both air and a helium/air mixture as the jet working gas. The helium/air jets simulate the higher jet velocity and lower jet density of heated jets. The modal decomposition technique is verified by experiment, allowing significant differences to be identified in the azimuthal modal content as the jet simulated temperature is increased.
Nonlinear feedback control of the wake past a plate: From a low-order model to a higher-order model9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869320View Description Hide Description
A framework to estimate, with an intelligent and systematic approach, the applicability of a controller derived for a low-order model to a higher-order model is presented. This framework is applied to the test case of nonlinear feedback control of the two-dimensional unsteady separated flow past a plate perpendicular to the free-stream velocity. A hierarchy of models of increasing complexity is generated by using vortex methods. A low-order point vortexmodel and a high-order vortex blob model are used to simulate the roll-up of the separated shear layer. A nonlinear controller able to manipulate the wake by means of a suction point located on the downstream wall of the plate is given in closed form for the point vortexmodel. This controller is applied to the vortex blob model by defining a center of circulation. The topological equivalence of the phase spaces of the two models is verified. Finally, the two models are used to simulate the same flows using the same controller and the results are discussed.
Low-dimensional models for flows with density fluctuations9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869321View Description Hide Description
A low-dimensional model, using the proper orthogonal, or Karhunen–Loève decomposition, has been remarkably successful in representing the behavior of the wall region of a turbulent boundary layer. We briefly summarize this work. We may hope for similar success in other flows in which coherent structures play an important role, in particular flows with density fluctuations. We sketch an approach to such a decomposition for flows with density fluctuations, suggesting various alternatives which weigh the available information differently. In such a low-dimensional model, obtaining the empirical eigenfunctions poses a problem, since they can usually be determined only from extensive measurements or direct numerical simulations. However, recent work with energy method stability theory (modified by use of an anisotropiceddyviscosity and feedback to the mean profile) has been remarkably successful in predicting the form of the empirical eigenfunctions in the isothermal boundary layer. We present here preliminary results for sheared Rayleigh–Bénard convection; these results do not include anisotropiceddyviscosities and feedback, and do not predict directly the form of the POD eigenfunctions; however, a very satisfactory comparison can be made with the second order moments obtained from a DNS.
Nonpremixed spontaneous ignition in the laminar wake of a splitter plate9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869322View Description Hide Description
Ignition in the laminar wake that forms at the trailing edge of a thin splitter plate separating two parallel streams of fuel and oxidizer is studied in the limit of large activation energy. The analysis presented covers ignition events ocurring in the Rott–Hakkinen and Goldstein regions, where self-similar solutions for the different frozen flow variables are available. Because of the strong exponential sensitivity of the reaction rate on the temperature, ignition becomes a self-accelerating phenomenon on the temperature increment that leads to a thermal runaway a finite distance downstream from the splitter plate. The dependence of the ignition distance on the values of the velocity and temperature gradients that exist at the trailing edge of the splitter plate is investigated. In particular, it is seen that, for sufficiently large values of the activation energy, the small temperature variations that exist across the wake must be taken into account in calculating the ignition distance. As the transverse gradient of temperature at the trailing edge increases, the reaction zone becomes thinner and migrates towards the hotter side of the mixing layer, where convection becomes the dominant transport mechanism, causing the thermal runaway distance to be determined in the first approximation by a convective-reactive balance across the thin reaction layer. Ignition in the wake when one of the streams is initially stagnant is also addressed. The character of the resulting solution is seen to depend strongly on the Lewis number of the reactant supplied by the colder stream, yielding three distinct ignition regimes that are analyzed separately.
Helicity fluctuations and turbulent energy production in rotating and non-rotating pipes9(1997); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.869324View Description Hide Description
In this paper finite-difference second-order accurate direct simulations have been used to investigate how the helicity density fluctuations change when a turbulent pipe rotates about its axis. In this case the rotation axis is parallel to the near wall vortical structures which play a fundamental role on the wall friction and turbulence production. The helicity density is the trace of the tensor whose elements form the components of . When the momentum equations are written in rotational form the turbulence energy production term splits into two parts, one related to the convection of the large scales and the other related to the energy cascade to the small scales. From data of direct simulations the changes of the turbulent production term profile with the rotation have been explained by the pdf of the components. The links between the changes on the pdf of the and the modifications of the vortical structures have been also investigated. The joint pdf of the dissipation with the helicity density has shown that the dissipation is highly correlated with regions of very low helicity density in the non-rotating pipe. When the pipe rotates the helicity density increases and the dissipation decreases. Since a drag reduction is one of the results of the background rotation, in this paper, it has been speculated that the alignment between velocity and vorticity could be a common feature in drag reducing flows.

A. 2D-DIGE and immunoblot analysis were employed in a well-defined lung carcinogenesis mouse model to identify potential protein biomarkers of lung cancer. Down-regulation of 14-3-3 isoforms and annexin A5, observed in lung adenocarcinomas from mice treated with the tobacco-specific carcinogen NNK, were subsequently recovered in the lungs of mice treated with the chemopreventive agent p-XSC. The possible involvement of these proteins in cancer-associated pathways supports their potential use as biomarkers to monitor lung carcinogenesis (Bortner JD Jr, Das A, Umstead TM, Freeman WM, Somiari R, Aliaga C, Phelps DS, El-Bayoumy K, J Proteome Res. 2009 Aug;8(8):4050-61).
B. Tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes for oral cancer. We have developed a mice model for oral cancer using environmental carcinogen and tobacco smoke constituent DB[a,l]P. We have also developed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to detect and quantify anti-DB[a,l]PDE-DNA adducts in oral tissues of mice treated with DB[a,l]P. The results indicate that the formation and persistence of DB[a,l]PDE-DNA adducts may, in part, contribute to the initiation of DB[a,l]P-induced oral carcinogenesis (Zhang SM, Chen KM, Aliaga C, Sun YW, Lin JM, Sharma AK, Amin S, El-Bayoumy K, Chem Res Toxicol. 2011 Aug 15;24(8):1297-303).

In case you were not already aware of the "totting up" driving ban rules, 12 points on a UK driver's licence usually means you will be banned from driving for a minimum period of 6 months. That is unless you persuade the court that such a driving ban would cause you or others "exceptional hardship."
As if that wasn't enough bad news, the research we did for our unique money saving calculator suggests your insurance premiums could increase by over 200% if banned for accumulating points. We hate to be the voice of doom and gloom, but if you do receive that dreaded "totting up" ban, you may not even be able to secure an insurance policy once the ban is over. Don't take our word for it though, check out this 2011 forum post on the moneysupertmarket site all about insurance problems after a TT99 ban.
Even though the rules state that a driver should be off the road for 6 months, many of our clients who have faced totting up bans have been allowed to continue to drive with well in excess of 12 points on their licence. In fact, we have been involved in some very unusual cases where we have achieved results on the verge of being miraculous! Check out the case of Yanni Tsamplakos, who contacted us in 2011 desperate for totting up advice. We managed to reinstate his driving licence after he was banned in the Magistrates' Court and then within days we successfully argued exceptional hardship for him for a second time. Most solicitors would shy away from a case as complex as this. In fact, according to our client, eight solicitors turned him away before he got in touch with us! If you think all hope is lost, this is exactly the kind of case our team loves to win. Don't take our word for it though, you can contact Yanni directly through our unique interactive testimonial scheme if you click on the page with his story.

Ponzi schemer Nadel featured on CNBC
Published: Monday, April 25, 2011 at 4:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 25, 2011 at 4:01 p.m.
Arthur Nadel and his Sarasota-based Ponzi scheme will be featured this week on an episode of the American Greed television show on CNBC.
The segment, titled "The Wizard of Sarasota," will profile Nadel and his investment career from day-trading to managing six hedge funds that bilked hundreds of investors.
"Arthur Nadel conjures a $330 million hedge fund. In the blink of an eye, he disappears and leaves clients without their life savings," states a synopsis on the show's web site.
A producer and crew came to Sarasota in January to interview employees of Nadel's Scoop Management, some of his victims, attorneys who represent investors and others with ties to Nadel or the case.
Nadel's scheme collapsed in January 2009. He pleaded guilty to 15 federal fraud counts last year and is serving a 14-year sentence at a minimum security facility in North Carolina.
The episode, narrated by actor Stacy Keach, is set to air at 10 p.m. Wednesday and again at 1 a.m. Thursday. Other showings will be on Saturday, Sunday and May 4, according to the show's website.
Nadel won't be the first Sarasotan profiled on American Greed. The show earlier aired an episode on Michael Rosin, the former Sarasota dermatologist convicted of performing unnecessary surgeries on hundreds of elderly patients. He is serving a 22-year prison sentence.

Spartanburg woman accused of leaving young children in car while she shopped
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 9:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 9:53 a.m.
Michelle Nicole Nunley, 24, of Apt. 26D 180 S. Pine Lake Dr. in Spartanburg, has been charged with child neglect.
Nunley is accused of leaving three young children, including an infant, in a car while she shopped.
An employee with Food Lion grocery store at 95 Garner Road told police she saw three children screaming inside a car in the parking lot on Tuesday afternoon. The employee reported they were unsupervised, according to an incident report.
The employee asked over the intercom for the children's parent to come to the front of the store, but no one did, the report states.
The suspect, later identified as Nunley, was inside the store for about 15 to 20 minutes, before she bought items and left, the report states.
An officer later pulled her over for failure to stop at two stop signs and saw three children in the backseat — one were not restrained — according to the report.
The children are 4 and 3 years old, and 10 months old.
Nunley was released from the Spartanburg County Detention Center under a $1,000 surety bond.

The old adage is: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
That's the message Attorney General Jon Bruning is spreading as he kicks off the fifth annual National Consumer Protection Week.
Bruning and members of federal, state, local organizations, and national advocacy groups launched the annual event Monday in Lincoln.
Bruning says educating Nebraskans on how they can protect themselves against fraud is a top priority.
The national campaign aims to inform consumers about deceptive tactics and provide educational tools that can be used to recognize schemes.
The theme of this year's event is "Get Rich Quick? Don't Bet On It."
It will focus on scams such as free prize conspiracies, foreign lotteries, pyramid schemes, investment-fraud plans, and work-at-home scams.

Death stalks each generation in its own way, as activist David Mixner reminded us last week. He movingly recounted assisting the suicides of friends who were suffering through the final stages of AIDS in the 1980s. Testaments like his must be given if the new generation is to have any idea of the price that was paid by those who came before.
For anyone under 30, it may be difficult to imagine a time when the gay-rights movement wasn't operating at a milestone-a-minute pace. Fortunately a wave of artistic and media projects has emerged to remind us of heroes past, to refocus us on the type of activism that helped elevate the LGBT movement and to inspire us to make that final push.

Peruvian cotton and cotton mixes: uses?

I think you can use cotton for just about anything except socks altho some cotton blends for socks should be okay. But I'm no expert. Home decorations with cotton such as window treatments/valances, counterpanes, dollies, pillows, kichen towels, placemats, etc. are some options. Also depending the the weight, type of cotton, and amount, you can used for shawls, scarfs, sweaters,etc. You might want to preshink if necessary or allow enough to allow shinkage. I saw details on a web page with instructions for how much to add to allow for shinkage and also about shinking skeins before knitting, but sorry I can't remember where. I love cotton and being in Texas, I think I prefer using cotton for many items instead of wool. I started knitting a cotton scarf today.

Hollywood Two-Tone Cheesecake Recipe
Hollywood Two-Tone Cheesecake Notes
This recipe is adapted from the Pope cookbook, 1958 edition. The only addition is the cinnamon applied to the first baked layer. It takes a little time to make but is well worth it, we think.
- 1 1/4 cups graham crackers, crushed fine
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (margarine can be substituted)
- 1 pound cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (1/2 cup)
- 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pint commercial sour cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- to taste, ground cinnamon
Serves / Yields
8-12 Servings
Preparation Instructions
For the crust, combine the first three ingredients and mix well. Press into a greased 9-10 inch springform pan, bringing it up along the sides to about 1 inch from top of pan. Keep the crust in the refrigerator, or cool place, while preparing filling.
For the filling, combine the next four ingredients and beat until smooth with an electric mixer or heavy wooden spoon. Pour into pan, spread until smooth and uniform over the crust.
Bake in preheated oven at 375F degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, place on cake rack, and let stand in room temperature for about 15 minutes. Raise oven temperature to 475F degrees.
About a minute or two before time is up, prepare the second part of the filling, using the final three ingredients (sour cream, sugar, vanilla). Generously sprinkle cinnamon on top before the second filling is applied.
To pepare the second part of the filling, with a spoon, mix the ingredients only until well blended. Pour over the cool baked first part of filling, starting from the side to center by tablespoonfuls. Spread evenly, as gently as possible. The whole top should be covered.
Bake in 475F degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit at room temperature for 5 to 6 hours. Store in refrigerator and serve the next day. Cover with waxed paper before putting into the refrigerator, careful not to let the waxed paper touch the topping.
Helpful Hints
To keep the waxed paper from touching the filling, I place toothpicks around the edge of the crust.
It is wise to set out all the ingredients 30 minutes before preparing the cheesecake.
This cheesecake keeps you coming back for more. It was easy to make and even easier to eat. Just loved it and it will definitely be a regular treat at my home and during family gatherings. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe.
Make it Again? Shanice W. would make this recipe again.
My mother went to the Pope cooking school in Chicago in the late 1950's and this was the cheesecake we grew up with. It has always been our favorite. This is the way cheesecake is supposed to taste!
Make it Again? Elaine D. would make this recipe again.
This is one of the best cheesecake recipes I have ever eaten! I have made this cheescake twice and both times people have gone crazy over how wonderful it is. Definately a popular item with my family around the holidays.
Make it Again? Bridgett H. would make this recipe again.

Lightning Unveil Third Jerseys vs. Devils
The Tampa Bay Lightning unveiled their third jerseys tonight for their game against the New Jersey Devils at 5 p.m. (Sun Sports, AM 970 WFLA). It is the second time in franchise history the Lightning have donned an alternate jersey. The first was unveiled prior to the 1996-97 season.
"We are excited about today's opportunity with the third jersey," Lightning Owner, Governor and CEO Oren Koules said. "The new ownership appreciates being able to be a part of the new design, which clearly pays homage to the affectionate name that Lightning fans have for their team. We'd like to thank Reebok, the NHL and everyone here that had a part in the design. We think our fans will enjoy the new look and identity for our team."
The third jersey will go on sale in the Tampa Bay area on Monday, November 24. Any fan who purchases the jersey at their local Champs Sports will also receive two free tickets to a future Lightning game. TampaBayLightning.com will also host a 'photo blog' from team photographer Scott Audette as the Lightning unveil their new sweaters.
In addition, the first 5,000 fans to enter the St. Pete Times Forum on November 26 against the New York Rangers will receive a Vincent Lecavalier third jersey t-shirt.
The Lightning have also unveiled their 2008 Holiday Packs. The packs include four tickets, a third jersey t-shirt and a Chick-fil-A calendar starting as low as $65. For more information, or to order a Lightning Holiday Pack, fans should call 813.301.6600 or visiting Tampabaylightning.com.
The Lightning wore the original third jersey six times during its first season, 1996-97, including Saturday, February 8, 1997 vs. the Buffalo Sabres, Saturday, February 15 vs. the Washington Capitals, Saturday, February 22 vs. New Jersey; Saturday, March 1 vs. the Florida Panthers, Saturday, March 8 vs. the Boston Bruins and Sunday, March 9 vs. the Calgary Flames.
