Intersecting paths thicken plot
This all seems vaguely familiar.
The Arizona Cardinals, 9-7 in the regular season, may be the most improbable Super Bowl team since the 1979 Los Angeles Rams, which also won the NFC West at 9-7.
The Rams faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIV. And while no one gave them much of a shot against Chuck Noll's three-time championship team, the Rams proved very game.
The Rams, behind quarterback Vince Ferragamo, led, 19-17, in the fourth quarter when Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw and receiver JohnStallworth connected on a 73-yard touchdown pass on third-and-8 to propel their team to a 31-19 victory.
The Rams were pesky, in large part, because of the three former Steelers assistant coaches they had on their staff: Bud Carson, Dan Radakovich and Lionel Taylor.
For next Sunday's Super Bowl XLIII, the Cardinals are heavy underdogs against the Steelers, and they, too, have former Pittsburgh assistants, head coach Ken Whisenhunt and offensive line coach Russ Grimm, to help them climb the mountain.
In what will be the most talked-about storyline of Super Bowl week, Whisenhunt and Grimm were both finalists to succeed Bill Cowher as coach when he retired after the 2006 season. Virtual unknown Mike Tomlin, an outsider to the Steelers family, wound up getting the job. Now all three have intersected in Tampa.
"Did you expect anything different?" Whisenhunt asked this week. "I mean when we actually won the game, how could it have not been the Steelers? That was what I expected. It's just a shame there won't be many storylines this week because of these two matchups."
Whisenhunt has said all the right things about the Rooney family since he left Pittsburgh, but it was no secret he relished getting his first home victory with the Cardinals over the Steelers in '07. It also happened to be Tomlin's first loss with the Steelers.
"It's obviously a special win for me to beat the Steelers," Whisenhunt said at the time.
And that was just a regular-season game.
To beat the Steelers, you need to neutralize quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Not many know him better than Whisenhunt, who was Big Ben's tutor for his first two seasons. In that '07 game, Roethlisberger was 17 of 32 for 244 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He was sacked four times.
"I don't know if there is an advantage (for me)," Whisenhunt said. "He's grown up as most players do when they have played a lot. He's had a lot of success and he will be a very difficult player to face."
Whisenhunt and Grimm also know a good portion of the personnel and how defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau likes to call a game.
"I am sure that it is an advantage in some form of a fashion," Tomlin said. "Is it a significant enough advantage to be the difference in the outcome of the football game? I am not willing or ready to say that. We have no control over that, so it is not our worry at this point."
Haynesworth on hold
If the Tennessee Titans are intent on keeping defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, they haven't shown it.
According to two sources at the Senior Bowl, there has been no contact between Haynesworth and the Titans since a cursory call early in the process declaring mutual interest in getting a contract done.
On Feb. 27, Haynesworth will hit the unrestricted free-agent market as the top defensive player and will command a contract that pays upward of $10 million per season.
While Haynesworth could play either nose tackle or defensive end, there is virtually no shot he will land with the Green Bay Packers, who switched to a 3-4 scheme with the addition of coordinator Dom Capers.
The favorite to land Haynesworth could be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who run a two-gap tackle system and will have the most cap room of any team when free agency starts - a reported $40.4 million.
End of an era
It didn't get any coverage nationally, but the firing two weeks ago of Houston Texans strength coach Dan Riley by general manager Rick Smith shocked much of the NFL - and the Texans community.
"The dismissals of Riley and trainer Kevin Bastin . . . rank as two of the monumental acts of stupidity in the brief history of the Texans," wrote Houston Chronicle columnist Richard Justice.
Riley, who had just concluded his 28th year in the league, was one of the giants in the strength community. He was hired by Joe Gibbs with the Redskins in 1982 and remained there through 2000, when Capers scooped him up to start the Texans franchise with him in '01.
Riley got a few phone calls to gauge his interest in returning to work. But upon reflection, Riley decided to retire.
"It's time for me to spend more time with my family," Riley said this week. "To do that job right, you have to put in a lot of time. I just didn't think it was worth it anymore."
Riley pointed to the decline in weight room hours designated by coaches and how injuries are quick to be blamed on the strength coaches.
"You go through a season with hardly any injuries, and you don't hear any compliments from the coach and you don't get any bonuses," Riley said. "But as soon as injuries start to become a problem, it's our fault even though coaches don't give you enough time with the players to really do your job right."
Rock Gullickson was fired by the Packers after nine years in the NFL following a season in which the Packers had several injuries. Green Bay had close to none in '07, when it went 13-3.Send e-mail to email@example.com

Paralympic boss says 'no clarity yet' over Pistorius competing againSubmitted by Keval Sharma on Tue, 09/16/2014 - 06:20
London, Sep 16 - The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) president Sir Philip Craven has claimed its stance on whether Oscar Pistorius would be free to compete again has been misinterpreted.
Pistorius free to compete for South Africa unless judge rules otherwiseSubmitted by Keval Sharma on Tue, 09/16/2014 - 05:23
Wellington, Sep 16 - Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius is reportedly free to compete for South Africa again, as long as the double amputee's running does not go against the judge's ruling in his murder trial.
Pistorius, who is due to be sentenced next month after being found guilty in the negligent killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, could compete at any time because the South African Olympic committee had no regulations preventing someone with a criminal record from representing the country.
Reeva's brother believes Pistorius 'got away with murder'Submitted by Keval Sharma on Mon, 09/15/2014 - 04:18
London, Sep 15 - Reeva Steenkamp's brother Adam Steenkamp believes that Oscar Pistorius effectively got away with murder, after the Paralympic runner shot his sister dead last year and was found guilty of culpable homicide.
The judge had ruled that Pistorius has been found guilty of culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter in the UK, after he fatally shot his girlfriend Reeva on Valentine's Day in 2013.
Pistorius' ex spills beans on Blade Runner's 2012 London Olympics tantrumsSubmitted by Keval Sharma on Sat, 09/13/2014 - 08:53
London, Sep 13 - Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius had reportedly threatened to withdraw from the London 2012 Olympics if his former girlfriend refused to fly over to support him.
Pistorius sent a flurry of calls, emails and texts from London, sometimes reaching 30 a day, to beg his former girlfriend Samantha Taylor to join him. In one message from the Olympic Village, Pistorius even said that he is sorry for being such a 'f*** up'.
The Paralympian fumed, pleaded and sobbed down the phone to Taylor at her home in South Africa, The Mirror reported.
Pistorius went on two-hour 'naughty toddler' rampage post 2012 London Paralympics lossSubmitted by Rajiv Dhoot on Sat, 09/13/2014 - 08:51
London, Sep 13 - Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius reportedly went on a two-hour rampage after he was beaten in the 200 metres final at the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
Pistorius had to be locked in a room, where he punched tables and hurled chairs against walls after Brazilian sprinter Alan Oliveira beat him in the 200 metres final.
Ex-girlfriend spills beans on terrors faced while dating 'angry, possessive' PistoriusSubmitted by Keval Sharma on Fri, 09/12/2014 - 06:09
London, Sep 12 - Former girlfriend of Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius has talked about how the athlete terrorised her during her relationship with the 'angry and possessive' double amputee.
Samantha Taylor said that she feared Pistorius would kill her and revealed that she once hid his gun after he flew into a rage at her.
'Disabled' Pistorius could be entitled to separate accommodation if jailedSubmitted by Keval Sharma on Fri, 09/12/2014 - 05:01
Johannesburg, Sep 12 - In light of the verdict delivered in Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius' murder trial, the department of correctional services said in a statement released on Thursday that disabled prisoners could be entitled to separate accommodation.

DOVER — Three deputies were sworn in during a brief ceremony at the Strafford County Sheriff's Office April 1.
Michael Sullivan, Edward Levesque and Paul Callaghan are the newest additions to the department. All three men were sworn in by Sheriff David Dubois.
Sullivan, 51, of Rochester, is the current security force manager with the New Hampshire Air National Guard at Pease Air Force Base. He has been serving in the military since 1981.
Sullivan has also worked as an officer with the Newington Police Department since 1988.
Dubois said Sullivan will be assigned to inmate transportation duties at the Sheriff's Office.
Levesque, 53, of Madbury, started his career in law enforcement with the United States Army Military Police. He has worked in the seacoast area for over 20 years, serving on the Lee, Durham and University of New Hampshire police departments.
As a deputy, Levesque will be working in investigations, Dubois said.
Callaghan, 50, of Rochester, also has over two decades of law enforcement experience. He was a member of the Rochester Police Department before he was named chief of police in Kittery, Maine.
Callaghan earned a Master of Public Administration degree from UNH in 2004. Dubois said he will be assigned to inmate transportation and court security as a deputy.
Sullivan, Levesque and Callaghan will join a staff of 49 sworn in deputies. Twenty deputies work full or part time on a regular basis for the department. The rest are on a per diem basis.
Members of the Sheriff's Department are looking forward to taking advantage of the experience level each new deputy brings to the table, Dubois said.

Layer two (15-inch) sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil together and fold ¼-inch of the edges together to create 1 sheet. Repeat with another 2 pieces of foil, to create 2 double foiled sheets. Bend the edges of 1 of the sheets up 2 inches, to help keep the liquid in the foil.
On one double sheet of foil, layer (in this order, distributing evenly) oil, onions, jalapeño, roasted red pepper, chicken, salt and pepper, garlic, cilantro, cheeses, lime juice and tequila.
Put second, double layered foil sheet on top of layered ingredients. Fold both double layered sheets of foil together in ¼-inch folds, 4 times. When all the sides are folded together, make sure that the pouch is not leaking. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
To cook, preheat the oven or grill to 275 to 300 degrees. Remove foil pouch from refrigerator. If grilling, place on grill, being careful not to snag the foil pouch and tear it open. Grill 10 minutes, then flip and cook another 10 minutes. If baking, place on oven rack (or baking pan) and bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until good and hot and cheeses are melted.
Remove the pouch from the grill and slice the bag open. Garnish with the tomatoes, cilantro and Parmesan cheese and serve on warmed rolls.
Notes: If you like onions more cooked than raw, grill or sauté separately before assembly. For kids, apple juice can substitute for tequila.

You go, Guz!
Hug a pouncies to all you Alleygators and Oopsters!
Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 17 "Deader Than Dead"(32) 3/4/2013 Monday
Panel One
Brucutu rode in the small car while the V-raptors were on each side as they passed the series of flashing red lights blinked as they ran past. (Brucutu is kept in direct contact with the little insect-like spy devices as to when the door will be opened and how many on the other side.)
Panel Two
On the other side the soldiers in their blackout camo are ready along with a Bradley fighting vehicle backing them up, some on their stomachs,others on knees, and still others standing so that they can get a layered field of fire. Things are tense but these men and women are professionals and ready to serve their country against any enemies, foreign or domestic. And here today vampires.
Panel Three
"Reporting for duty general!" Said former NCIS agent now full member of Op. Sunshine (anti-Dr. Dark task force) Nobu McCarthy and her Navy escorts saluted.
"Why are you still here?" Gen. Mann was mystified.
"The biggest storm of the century is bearing down on the entire East coast,∞ leaving would be delayed indefinitely then the lock down."
"Oh, I see, forgot about that 'storm of storms.' 'Beulah' it is called."
Panel Four
"Might as well stay here in the worm hole launch area."
"Roger that!" She and the Navy escort said in unison.
∞ From Florida to Maine and every state inbetween, worse storm in 150 years. An estimated 3X more powerful than "Sandy" was when it struck over a decade ago. In all 22 states are affected over a weeks time, wouldn't be equalled till 2058.
Just the larger sized recap. King Guz won't be enough unless he is really agile.
Oop's got his hands full! He could use some help!
And what does Guz hope to accomplish by himself with one old man helping him? Shouldn't he be calling out the army?
Right, like waiting for the cops while burglars pillage.
Yeah right, one club against the dinnys?
And didn't they all peacefully coexist until recently?
Like I said
One whomp up side the head
of ole Big red
the rest of that passle will fall as dead.
So.. Whats the hassle?
King Guz will be rallying the Moovians on his way to help Alley.
Wizer will be a no-show (gotta catch his breath, don' 'cha know!).
By the time they all get there, Alley will have bopped the red Rex and all the others will have dispersed.
Oops! Sorry if I've spoiled it for everybody! We'll find out if I am a "Seer of the future" probably next week.
Keep up the good work, NightGaunt!
I pulled out an old paperback that I bought 30 years ago – Alley Oop in the Sawall Chronicles. This is pre-time macnine and early Hamlin work from 1936. At the start of the story, Dinny has been hypnotized by the Wizer- a similar theme to the Benders' current story. But Foozie and Guz break the spell by hanging Dinny by his neck from a cliff until part of it breaks off and Dinny comes tumbling down. The story then veers into Alley and Ooola's trip into Sawalla and their efforts to return to Moo through a swamp of dinosaurs. There is broad humor in the story but none of the inane silliness that the Benders bring. Is the current version of Oop just another example of the dumbing down of current society? I don't know what the answer is but if any of the Benders could just read this story (or the first time travel story currently running in the Comics Revue) they would realize what so many of us have been saying for so long. This strip deserves better than the Benders. I just hope it outlasts their tenure on this strip,
Wow McDuck, you brought back some memories. Now I am looking over my old paperbacks. My favorites were from Robert Howard, Lin Carter, Fritz Leiber, Talbot Munday, John Norman, and the ubiquitous Edgar Rice Burroughs. Some of them only cost 50-cents … new.
One of the things I loved about the Hamlin version was each 4 panel comic had a caption. And also the very creative insults that Oop and Guz would always hurl at each other. LOL

Sandblasting Our Brick HomeJune 22nd, 2016
A few years ago my husband and I bought a brick house. The brickwork had been neglected for years and we wanted to spruce it up. We looked into a lot of different options that included painting the bricks. In the end, we decided to sand blast the surface and clean the bricks.
The contractor who did the job for us was a very nice guy. He explained the process and gave us an estimate of both the time and the cost. He was also very insistent on safety. We were glad to hear that as it is an important issue for us.
Our contractor recommended we stay elsewhere while our house was being sand blasted. He said he would be using silica sand in the process. If it is inhaled, it can cause health problems. Using this product in sand blasting makes the small, fast moving particles easy to inhale. We agreed and took a short vacation. We came home to a beautiful, new looking house.

According to Joan H. Ellison, director of the Livingston County Department of Health, the New York State Health Department laboratory has reported that a raccoon in Livingston County has tested positive for rabies. The raccoon was killed in the town of Avon on July 8. Earlier this year, a bat was found in the town of Conesus; it also tested positive for rabies.
According to Joan H. Ellison, director of the Livingston County Department of Health, the New York State Health Department laboratory has reported that a raccoon in Livingston County has tested positive for rabies. The raccoon was killed in the town of Avon on July 8. Earlier this year, a bat was found in the town of Conesus; it also tested positive for rabies.
Rabies is a deadly virus that attacks the central nervous system in mammals. It is largely found in raccoons, skunks, and bats in many areas including Livingston County. Other mammals including unvaccinated dogs and cats are at risk for getting rabies. New York State Law requires that all dogs, cats and ferrets be vaccinated.
It is important to note that there is no way to tell if an animal is rabid just by looking at it. Caution should be taken around any unfamiliar animals, especially cats. Sometimes wild or feral cats will act like they are domesticated. Wild animals should always be avoided. Signs of rabies in wildlife include: inability to walk, appearance of "drunkenness", unwillingness to drink water or eat, frothing at the mouth, aggressive behavior and a massive swing in temperament. The best form of defense for keeping your pet safe is to keep them vaccinated. An unvaccinated pet that comes into contact with a rabid animal must be kept in strict confinement for six months or euthanized. Rabies is a very prevalent and deadly disease.
Below are some tips to help prevent rabies:
Teach children to stay away from unfamiliar animals, either wild or domestic, even if they appear friendly.
Wash any wound from an animal thoroughly with soap and water, and seek medical attention immediately.
If your family or your pet has been exposed to a bat, capture the bat and have it tested for rabies. If you awaken to find a bat in your bedroom, or a bat is present in the room of an unattended or sleeping child or in a room where someone with a mental impairment, seek medical advice and have the bat tested. To catch a bat, do the following:
- Get a container with a lid and a stiff piece of cardboard
- Close all windows and doors in the room and don't take your eyes off the bat
- Wear gloves if possible and always be safe.

Ventura County judge tosses murder plot plea deal
VENTURA, Calif. A Ventura County judge has thrown out a plea bargain and ruled a man must stand trial in an alleged plot to kill a prosecutor.
The judge said Monday that the deal Gonzalo Mesa struck with state prosecutors violates a ban on plea agreements for most violent felonies.
The judge restored conspiracy and attempted murder charges and threw out Mesa's guilty plea to lesser charges. He could face a life sentence if convicted.
Prosecutors claim Mesa planned to murder county Senior Deputy District Attorney Marc Leventhal, who prosecuted the husband of co-defendant Sandra Spencer for fraud. Mesa, Spencer and Benny Figueroa were arrested before the plot was carried out.
They face trial in May but they're already in federal prison for robbing banks to raise bail for Spencer's husband.

So, I started with the e-mails telling them I was ripped off and why I wanted a refund. Said they were scamming an elderly woman on a fixed income.I sent many,many e-mails with them responding with form letters.(sorry you are having trouble,etc). but still no t able to access ,just names, ages and in some cases a property report left blank. Nothing else. I keep sending them multible e-mais saying they are rip off artists. They just recently sent me 3 or 4 more personalized e-mails. Saying I did use their services and if I looked I could see who I looked up'
Yes, some of the names were there, but I didn't get any info. on them just no data, no data found. Then tried to talk me into buying their premium silver pkg. deal with unlimited access to files. I told them thats what they told me, when I purchased unlimited access! I know I was scammed by them, and it makes me angry that they got away with it.

Make sure your children ready for tests
Published: Friday, March 11, 2005 at 8:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 10, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
The issue: Standardized tests. We suggest: They are a measure of our future success.
Students in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, like their peers across the state, will sharpen their No. 2 pencils Monday morning in preparation for a week full of standardized test taking.
Tests will be administered to students in the parishes' public elementary, middle, junior high and high schools Monday through Friday.
Fourth- and eighth-graders will take the high-stakes LEAP test. High-school sophomores and juniors will take the Graduate Exit Exam, which determines whether they will complete their schooling with a diploma.
The Iowa test, a standardized exam that measures knowledge, not promotion, will be given to third-, fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and ninth-graders.
Each offers educators an in-depth look at each child's strengths and weaknesses while measuring the quality of education the public- school system provides the parish's children.
As such, these are tests that must be taken seriously by administrators, teachers, students and parents.
Even though teachers have already reviewed the types of questions the students will be asked to answer, there are still things parents can do to help their children succeed.
You can review practice tests available on the state Education Department's Web site, www.louisianaschool and help your child complete some of the questions.
Remember that pre-test jitters are normal and the adrenaline boost can actually be a good thing. If nerves threaten to get the best of your youngster or teen, however, it can help to offer reassurance and talk about what to expect when the testing starts.
Parents also should make sure students get a good night's rest and a nutritious breakfast before heading to school for each round of testing.
The most important thing a parent can do, however, is stress the importance of the test and make sure the child is at school, on time, on test-taking days.
The exams are vital, not because they are a measure of how well each student is learning reading, writing and arithmetic, but because they are the best way to gauge whether our students will be successful once their enter the real world.
And individual success translates into a successful school system, state and nation.
Help your kids do well in school. Our future depends on it.

REVIEW: 3222 Helicopter & Limousine
Posted 11 March 2010 - 10:20 PM
Time for a quick review, as I don't think I have yet seen this great little set reviewed yet!
Picked it up tonight at the Lego Shop in Bluewater in the UK,
Price: £17.99,
Piece count: 267 (apparently)
Build time: 40 minutes, including pictures
(Additionally Bluewater Lego shop also had the new airport 3182 (Priced at £79.99) (Expensive) and the jet plane 3181 (Priced at £29.99)
Front of Box
Back of Box
2 Instruction Manuals, 1 for the Limo, 1 for the helicopter
The DSS, although I think the set looks great without the stickers
3 Bags of Bricks,
Random Instruction Pages
The Minifigs, awesome brown hair on the female minifig
New bricks (although some only in new colours) for 2010
Start of the limo build, 6 white doors ahhhh
Half way through the limo build, love the bling lights under the limo
Nearly done on the limo, quite a tight squeeze in the back, I have a feeling they may be very drunk minifigs soon!
In you get mamme
Start of the helicopter build
Half way through, all going well
Nice tight fit on the cockpit canopy, none of that rubbish we saw on the nose piece of the remote control trains!
All Done,
The leftovers
Design: 9/10 I think the design is spot on with this set, not bad in terms of scale either.
Playability: 9/10 Limo is something Lego have never before produced which is cool. It has a helicopter which can be wooshed around.
Parts: 8/10 Slightly limited parts selection, after all you can only use the key parts to build a helicopter or maybe a plane. but remember, 4 minifigs!
Minifigures: 10/10 4 minifigs in a sub £20 set, winner, I think that alone makes this a worthwhile set.
Conclusion: 9/10 All in all a good value for money set, I think this is one of the best 1st half city sets coming up, my only shame is that they did not make a new centre roof piece mold for the limo, bit of a shame they used a 4 x 8 plate. Nice little features, some internal detail, for £18 possible one of the best value sets of the year, I think I will be getting a second copy at some point, I think there is real potential to make a small propellor plane using the body of the helicopter, and adding wings to the roof.
Posted 11 March 2010 - 10:29 PM
With that said I m surprised there is no glass for the opening doors, I wish Lego would have thought of something better than just regular doors other no glass. Still for the price its a cool set.

The copter is the best part of this one, I really enjoyed building it a few months ago.
The limo is cute, I'm going to try and make a 6 wide model.
Again thanks again and keep on bricking !
Posted 12 March 2010 - 09:33 AM
I like the limo but not so much the helicopter, did the two vehicles came in seperate bags (e.g. the car in bag one and the chopper in bags two and three)?
That way I can buy the set, take out the limo and sell the rest to helicopterlovers...

The helicopter is decent. Sure, it's huge, but with that being the scale for air vehicles these days, I suppose it fits in well with the rest of the large aircrafts. The luggage compartments are a nice touch.
Still, it's a nice addition to the airport line. I really like the idea of jetset minifigs. And with four minifigs included, at least there's plenty of jetset soap opera scenarios to play out.

Okay, the helicopter is not like the Coast Guard one (the best helicopter TLG has ever released in my opinion), but it looks very nice. As far as I can tell from the pictures, there are not too many juniorized pieces (the really big ones are just four if I'm not wrong) and there is a significant amount of "bricked" construction.
The colour scheme looks absolutely beautiful and the shape is also great. Plus, we get two old-skool turbines.
The limo is also a very good addition. The way I see it, the helicopter is the main feature and having also one more vehicle included in the set is more than welcomed.
4 minifigs is one more big plus. My only complaint? The limo driver's head. Probably the minifig head for me.
I've bought the new passenger plane and it doesn't look juniorized at all--it's excellent to be honest. Therefore the optimism.
Whoops! I forgot... Thanks for the nice review paul.

I'm not completely sure if I like the set or not. The limo is cool, would make a nice addition to my town. But the helicopter... ...I'm really not sure what to make of it. Perhaps I will buy this set (it's great value) but not for a while.

Posted 17 March 2010 - 08:48 PM
If I would buy this set, it would be for the limo. All my airplanes are early 90's (International Jetport, The cargo plane) so I guess the helicopter will look a little out of proportion .

Posted 18 March 2010 - 10:23 AM
I don't think I'll buy this set as the helicopter can't be modified to 4 wide. The limo is nice but I've already made a yellow one back in January.

- The people occupying a wildlife reserve in eastern Oregon say they're speaking for ranchers. But a closer look shows they're associated with movements most people find alienating. If we want to build any solidarity with those living in rural areas, we need to understand the difference.

As autumn is now in full swing our attention moves towards winter and planning for our Get Ready for Winter Campaign.
Over the last 11 weeks we have covered a range of summer activities and tips for staying safe and well. From exploring new places, ideas for entertaining when the weather wasn't as sunny as we'd liked and key summer fashion trends.
Special thanks go to all our partners and contributors for making our Get Ready for the Great British Summer campaign such a success.
The Get Ready for Winter Campaign, to be launched at the end of October, is focused around winter preparedness. We will be working with partners from across Government, the voluntary sector and local authorities to help you and your community prepare for whatever the weather might bring.
As the nights are drawing in here is a roundup of one the warmest, driest and sunniest summers since 2006.

A 100 g steel ball and a 200 g steel ball hang from 1.0 m longstrings. At rest, the balls hang side by side, barely touching. The100 g ball is pulled to the left until the angle between its stringand the vertical is 45 degrees. The 200 g ball is pulled to a 45degree angle on the right. The balls are released so as to collideat the very bottom of their swings. To what angle does each ballrebound?
It seems to me that the 200 g ball will go to a 22.5 degreeangle and the 100 g ball will go to a 90 degree angle because themomentum of each ball is transfered to the other, but one mass istwice as much as the other... is this right? and if so, whatequation would i use to figure this out mathematically and notlogically? conservation of momentum does not include anangle.

This company has no integrity and uses unethical methods to squeeze more money out of you. They are not doing well as a company and have therefore stooped to low measures to make money.
They have snotty unprofessional girls working in customer service that have little respect for the consumer. Seems like a 2 person business that pretends to be a larger company.

Teenager denies pulling fire alarmJuly 31,2013A Bomoseen teen denied charges that he pulled a fire alarm and created a disturbance at Fair Haven Union High School.
Kyle Stone, 17, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of triggering a false alarm for emergency services and disorderly conduct. The false-alarm charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
According to an affidavit, police and fire personnel responded to a fire alarm June 5 at the high school. Firefighters determined there was no fire, and a review of video surveillance footage showed Stone pulling the alarm, affidavits state.
Minutes before pulling the alarm, police said, Stone was kicking boxes in a school hallway and when asked by a teacher to stop, he replied with obscene language.

I heard nothing from the press for three months, no email inquiring as to when the book would be out was returned, no letters from the editors were forthcoming. Finally, one editor called and said because my material was online already they were opting out of publishing the book. He said they had tried to contact me by phone and email, which was a lie, I never had received any previous communication from them.
I explained that they knew the material was online in the first place, that I had not received any previous letters or calls concerning this issue, and so the editor promised a call back about situation in a week when the other staff had returned from a conference. But no phone call back to me was forthcoming and all my subsequent phone messages to them went to voice mail with no response in an any official manner.
My materials were returned without comment. I think the real reason the editors have stonewalled me was that one of the editors was put off by the satirical nature of my novel which poked fun at academia, so they came up with a lame excuse for refusing to publish me manuscript and break our contract in a most unprofessional manner.
As for other complains about this press ripping off authors as previously posted on this I can confirm this is the case as I've had a previously book published by this press over decade ago and still haven't receive a dime from sales of that book.

What is in this article?:
- Sensible inputs vital for almond grower Chuck Dirkse
- Making every drop count
- A lesson in worm control
- Chuck Dirkse has adopted a wide range of almond production practices designed to improve the long-term sustainability and productivity of his farm.
Chuck Dirkse in one of LaMancha Orchards almond blocks near Denair, Calif.
Making every drop count
In 2010, Dirkse took part in the launch of ABC's first sustainability education modules on irrigation and nutrient management. This self-assessment program also covers energy efficiency and air quality. It enables growers to compare their current farming practices with a set of best practices that make practical and economic sense in terms of sustainability, profitability and the environment.
Whether water, nutrients, fungicides, insecticides or other materials, La Mancha Orchards' sustainability program is based on using a production input only when and in the amount needed.
"For example, we don't apply a chemical or fertilizer just because it's always been done," Dirkse explains. "We have to have a good reason to use it. If it's really needed to solve a specific problem, we'll put it on. But, we don't use any more than we have to. That saves money and it's better for the environment."

Among his sustainable practices:
• Using water-conserving irrigation systems that apply water only around the tree. He uses a double-line drip system on one ranch, which features more rolling terrain, and micro jets on the other, where the ground is flatter. Eliminating the use of water between tree rows also limits any weed growth, reducing the time and expense of chemical or mechanical weed control. To improve water use efficiency, Dirkse irrigates his orchards based on readings from soil moisture meters, which he's installed at the rate of one every 50 acres, and ET rates.
• Shredding tree prunings instead of burning them. Doing this over a number of years has prevented the release of tons of carbon into the atmosphere and improved the soil by returning organic matter and nutrients to the ground, Dirkse reports.
• Growing an annual cover crop, such as native grasses, between the tree rows. Also, he's trying to incorporate more bee forage, like mustard. This vegetation increases water absorption by the soil, while controlling erosion and dust. During the growing season he mows this vegetation as needed. Meanwhile, he uses a combination of pre-emergent and burn-down herbicides to keep the orchard floor under the trees clean to minimize debris at harvest when picking up and processing the nuts.
• Enhancing habitat in the orchard to attract insects, birds and other animals that feed on crop pests. A natural alternative to pesticides, these practices include providing nesting boxes for barn owls that help control gophers.

Matthew McConaughey recalls his biggest fear going into Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'
Speaking with Matthew McConaughey about his work in Jean-Marc Vallée's "Dallas Buyers Club" last week, it was obvious -- as it was at Sundance when he was promoting "Mud" -- that the actor is savoring every step of his career's newfound upward trajectory. He's taken to the "McConnaissance" like a duck to water, and it's because he's clearly a guy who relishes an experience.
That's just what he told me when I got around to the subject of Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar," the big budget blockbuster that serves as the director's first outing since the "Dark Knight" trilogy wrapped up his ascendance in the Hollywood sphere, and a film no one would have expected a guy like McConaughey to be headlining three years ago. For what it's worth, that fact isn't lost on McConaughey, and while he's surely thankful for the opportunity to take the big spotlight again in his career, he's mostly stoked about the contrast and the chance to try something new.
"You know, Chris is a great mind," McConaughey told me. "His brother wrote the script, he's got a hand in the script, and this is a big movie. So there's a lot of things that have to be coordinated to make a scene work, which is different than something like ['Dallas Buyers Club']: 25 days, one camera, no lights, it's about performance, follow this guy's life, 'go.' There's no time to be 'considerate.' So there's a lot of things to 'consider' with a larger-scope movie like this where also the director is doing many things with the story. But when we're shooting the scenes, it's like you're on an independent. It's, 'Get after it,' a couple of takes, 'We got it; move on.' It's not overly precious."
But what McConaughey is trying to do is preserve what is absolutely precious to him: something formative and meaningful, a professional adventure that will remain something he'll carry with him the rest of his life. And being a cog in a major production wheel like "Interstellar," even if it's a leading man cog, brings with it the danger of losing that kind of grace note.
"What I've gotten out of the last two years that's been so rewarding to me is I've been getting these experiences, man, just feeling like I'm in the clay, man, I'm deep in, man, I'm in it," he told me, talking with his hands for emphasis. "So going into a big movie I had a bit of fear, going like, 'Was it so much of a machine that I'm going to still be able to have an experience?' So that's what I'm working on, that I am getting. Because I'm holding on and saying, 'No, I'm still going to have an experience today. I still had an experience on Friday.' I'm serving his story but I'm still having a personal experience. And that was my biggest fear, or biggest trepidation going into it, but I have to say, I'm getting one out of it."
The hotly anticipated film is certainly high on the radar for filmgoers given the man behind the camera, but in front of the camera, it promises to be a culmination of the last few years in McConaughey's career, the coronation of a rebirth. That moment in and of itself will certainly be an "experience" the actor will also cherish.
"Interstellar" hits theaters Nov. 7, 2014. In the meantime, check back soon for our full interview with McConaughey about "Dallas Buyers Club."

Zogam (or Zoland, the political appellation mainly used to describe the envisioned unified and separate democratic nation-state) is the name for a territory, approximately 160,000 square kilometres (60,000 sq mi) in size, in Myanmar, India and Bangladesh. It is the traditional home of the Zomi, who lived in this area before the colonial period under British rulership.
It does not include Asho settlements in Lower Burma and Masho settlements in the Arakan (Burma). The area extends from latitude 25° 30' North in the Somra tracts facing Mount Saramati, and in Nagaland across the Namtakik River and the North Cachar Hills, to about 20° 30' North Latitude. The longitudinal extension is between 92° 10' East and 94° 20' east. The North-South length of the Zoram is roughly 560 kilometres (350 mi) and East-West is generally about 190 kilometres (120 mi) wide.
One Zo folksong delineates the area of Zogam as follows:
"Penlehpi leh Kangtui minthang,
A tua tong Zota kual sung chi ua;
Khang Vaimang leh tuan a pupa
Tongchiamna Kangtui minthang aw"
- (The famous Penlehpi and Kangtui
- Between the two is the Zomi country
- The Southern King and our forefathers
- Made an agreement at the famous Kangtui)
This old folk song tells of the area of the Zomi ancestral homeland, for Penlehpi is a Burmese word for the Bay of Bengal and Kangtui is identified with Tuikang (Chindwin River).[1]
Zogam is within the land inhabited by the Zo State in Myanmar and further the land inhabited by the Zomi in India and Bangladesh. Chinland is the founding name for the whole Zomi inhabited areas of land spread across three political and separate country/international boundaries. Lairam is another name used by the townships the Southern Chin State in Myanmar. Zogam tributary tribes who too called their land according to their own dialects. And all of them put together makes up a Greater Chinmi or Zomi(i.e. Zo People). Zogam covers
- the Whole Chin State,
- Plain chins (lower lands),
- Some part of Bangladesh until it reaches to the Bay of Zogam (Bay of Bengal),
- Mizoram
- Manipur (Churachanpur).
Therefore, Zogam is an indigenous identity of the Chin peoples together with the Kukis (Thado), Lushai (Lusei or Mizo), Pawi, Khalkha, Phalam and all Chinmi. Chinland (Zoram) thus equals to all the lands inhabited by these hill tribes collectively known as Chin people (Zomi), and they comprise the Laimi, Tedimmi, Mara, Khumi, Zophei, Senthang, Lautu, Zotung, Manipur, Thado, the Zou, Simte, Paite, Milhiem and other tributary tribes.
The land occupied by the majority of the Zo people extends from a latitude of about 25 degrees 30 minutes North in the Somra Tracts facing Mt. Saramati, and in Nagaland across the Namtaleik River and the North Cachar Hills, to about 20 degrees 30 minutes North.
The Asho live further south of the Arakan Yomas, Irrawaddy valleys and Pegu Yomas (below Procne and Sandaway). All these areas fall between 92 degrees 10 minutes East and 94 degrees 20 minutes East. The north-south length of the Zo country is roughly 560 kilometres (350 mi) and it is generally about 190 kilometres (120 mi) wide.
The majority of the people occupy the Indo-Burman ranges, a series of parallel mountain chains trending north-south along the India-Burma boundary. The mountain ranges are a continuation of the Naga and Patkoi hills, extending as far south as Arakan Yomas.
Fast Zogam lies in the eastern part of these mountains and is higher than the western mountains (West Zogam or Mizoram).
The highest peaks in these ranges are Ngulluvum, Innbuk. Thuamvum (Kennedy peak), Lentlang, Kharantlang, Rungtlang, and Arterawttlang (Mt. Victoria), which is the highest peak in Zo country at 3,412 metres (11,194 ft). The other peaks are in average about 2,854 metres (9,364 ft) high. In West Zogam the highest peak is Phawngpui (Blue Mountain), which is 2,164 metres (7,100 ft). At the north and south ends of Zo country the land is less rugged and rises from 610 to 1,220 metres (2,000 to 4,000 ft).
The capital of West Zogam, Aizawl, lies at 1,214 metres (3,983 ft) above sea level, whereas Tiddim (Tedim), the capital of East Zogam, is at 2,460 metres (8,070 ft). The valleys between ranges are mostly v-shaped gorges, and there are very few flat areas to serve as, agricultural land. Because the elevations can vary quite extensively temperatures also vary greatly. In the valleys of the larger rivers, such as the Run or Manipur Rivers, the climate is sub-tropical.
16 kilometres (9.9 mi) away, however, at an elevation of 1,800 metres (6,000 ft) and at the top of mountain ranges, the climate is rather moderate. The climate is "monsoon" and rain falls from May to October. Average rainfall for the year is between 180 and 430 cm (70 and 170 in). Average yearly rain in Aizawl is 208 centimetres (82 in), Lunglei 350 centimetres (140 in), Tedim 228 centimetres (90 in), and Kanpetlet 276 centimetres (109 in). In one year Tedim had 118 rainy days and Kanpetlet 127 days. Summer temperatures range between 17 and 29 °C, and winter temperatures are between 3 and 24 °C. Some places, like the town of Tedim, are chilly in winter and temperatures can drop below the freezing point in the night and frost form on the grass. Snow falls very rarely, and when it does the people call "the mountain has vomited".
