Goose Pond example of Wetlands Reserve Program success
ELKHART, Ind., August 30, 2007 – It's a wetlands oasis that draws waterfowl, other wildlife and people from miles around. For decades, it frustrated Greene County, Indiana farmers who struggled to get a crop from its swampy bottoms. Now, Goose Pond is one of the nation's largest Wetlands Reserve Program easements. Its nearly 7,200 acres make it a model of success for the popular farm bill conservation program.
Goose Pond is protected forever, but the future of the Wetlands Reserve Program isn't so certain. The program needs almost $2 billion in the next farm bill.
"If the Senate doesn't fund the Wetlands Reserve Program by September 30 like the House did in its version of the farm bill, the program is dead," said Bart James, director of agriculture conservation policy for Ducks Unlimited.
James says DU wants to make sure there's funding available for landowners to continue to enroll 250,000 acres of their land each year during the next five years.
Americans certainly agree with using taxpayer dollars to restore wetlands in programs like the Wetlands Reserve Program. During the past week, 79 percent of almost 1,900 respondents in a USA Today unscientific poll said they favor using tax dollars for wetlands restoration. Only 15 percent disagreed.
Lack of funding for the Wetlands Reserve Program isn't due to a lack of interest. Indiana landowners want to enroll now. Landowners receive federal funding to convert marginal cropland back to wetlands. The program, administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, turned away 154 landowners – mostly farmers - in 2005. That could have conserved 6,000 wetland acres and provided a stable source of income to farmers.
Wetlands benefit people by cleaning water, trapping and slowing floodwaters and providing a place for people to hunt, fish and enjoy nature. Just like Goose Pond. More than 900 species of wildlife depend on wetlands at some time during their lives.
"The Wetlands Reserve Program benefits everyone involved. Goose Pond is a prime example," said Michael Sertle, DU regional biologist for Indiana. "It's great for landowners, the environment and the community. That's why we need to voice our support for the Wetlands Reserve Program in the next farm bill."
For more information on the farm bill, go to:
The Senate takes up the farm bill as it returns from its summer recess.

To date, the Wetlands Reserve Program is responsible for almost 2 million acres of wetlands restored nationally.
Goose Pond is a perfect example of that success in Indiana.

With more than a million supporters, Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest and most effective wetland and waterfowl conservation organization with almost 12 million acres conserved. The United States alone has lost more than half of its original wetlands - nature's most productive ecosystem - and continues to lose more than 80,000 wetland acres each year.

Australian market opens higher
- From: AAP
- March 07, 2013
AUSTRALIAN stocks have opened firmer with mining companies leading the way.
Burrell Stockbroking principal Richard Herring said the local market got a positive lead from Wall Street, where the Dow rallied to a new all-time high for a second day.
However, volumes were light at the start of trade, suggesting investors were conscious of not getting too carried away by the recent higher runs in both Australia and the US.
"There has only been about half a billion through the market so, perhaps, people are a little bit cautious with the Dow at these levels," Mr Herring said. "The question is have things got this much better this quickly?"
"I think, certainly, things have improved and sentiment has improved. But whether the Dow needs to be at record highs, I am not quite convinced."
The S&P/ASX200 posted a four-and-a-half-year high at the close of trade yesterday.
At today's open, the gold sector was the biggest mover, soaring 2.29 per cent, according to IRESS data. The sector was led by Kingsgate Consolidated, which was up 4.8 per cent, or 17 cents, at $3.71, while Newcrest had risen 30 cents to $21.93.
The two big mining giants were also higher: BHP was up 13 cents at $35.95 and Rio had advanced 15 cents to $63.35.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics will publish the January trade balance at 11.30am AEDT.
Mr Herring said he expected subdued conditions for the rest of the trading day, with stocks likely to consolidate recent gains.
* At 10.30am AEDT, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was up 8.7 points, or 0.17 per cent, at 5125.5 points.
* The All Ordinaries index was up 8.0 points, or 0.16 per cent, at 5138.9 points.
* The March share price index futures contract was up three points at 5125 points, with 7869 contracts traded.
* National turnover was 230 million securities worth $450 million.

Not the most common of connections, but that's the angle that Bloomberg's Robert Hilferty takes in his review of Proust's The Lemoine Affair:
A hundred years ago French novelist Marcel Proust (1871-1922) lost money in the stock market, too. And as he would in the epic In Search of Lost Time, he converted the stuff of life into art. [. . .]
Translated by the super-talented Charlotte Mandell, this is the first time The Lemoine Affair is available in English, and it's part of Melville House's Art of the Novella series. (Which has been getting a lot of play here the past few days.)
As described on the Melville House site, this novella is a series of pastiches in which Proust imitates the writing styles of other famous French authors, such as Flaubert and Balzac. Based on this alone, I still can't believe this never came out in English before. And the story behind the novel just adds to my disbelief:
A Parisian engineer named Henri Lemoine claimed to have invented a method of manufacturing diamonds from coal. He convinced the London-based president of the De Beers diamond empire, Sir Julius Wernher, to underwrite the process. The executive invested about a million francs before the fraud emerged.
After De Beers stock plummeted because of the scandal, Lemoine bought shares expecting to profit when the stock recovered. The ruse was discovered and Wernher sued Lemoine, who was tried and imprisoned in 1908.
Proust had inherited De Beers stock from his parents and fretted that the scandal would erode his portfolio. At the same time, he was inspired by the literary potential of Lemoine's intrigue and hit upon an ingenious way to retell it — that's the true alchemy here.
Add this to the growing list of Melville House novellas we'll be reviewing over the next few weeks . . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .

It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .

Indenture, 1 September, 34 Henry VIII.--Bernard O'Rwerch personally appeared before the Lord Deputy and Council at the castle of Meynoth, and voluntarily submitted himself to the King.
(1.) He will acknowledge his Majesty to be his Lord and King.
(2.) He will renounce the usurped primacy of the Roman Pontiff.
(3.) Whenever any journeys shall be made into Connaught, the parts of O'Donell, or the parts of O'Rayley, he will come there in person with all his forces; or, if he should be prevented by illness from so doing, he will send 24 horsemen and 24 kerne (turbarii) or footmen at his own expense.
(4.) The Lord Deputy shall present fitting priests to the ecclesiastical benefices in his country which are now occupied by laymen, reserving to the King his primacies or first fruits and his ordinary jurisdictions of churches; the same benefices to be granted under the Great Seal.
(5.) If any invasion should be made in this kingdom by any foreign foes, rebels, or enemies, he will rise in defence of the kingdom with all his power.
(6.) He will pay annually for each carucate of land in his country 12d., which will amount annually to the sum of 20l.
(7.) He will give a hostage to stand to the arbitration of the Bishop of Meath, [Edward Staples.] the Bishop of Kilmore (Brennensis), [Edmund Nugent.] Sir Thomas Cusake, and another to be chosen by O'Rayley, touching all contentions between him and O'Rayley about the lands called "Talloha," McGauran's lands, and the lands of both the McKerwans. If the said arbitrators cannot agree, the final determination shall be made by the Lord Deputy and Council. His request that O'Rayley should likewise give an hostage is granted.
(8.) He will exact and levy from his country 100 marks, to be paid to the King and his officers in this kingdom as a fine for the pardon and liberty now granted to him of becoming a liege and true Englishman.
(9.) He will send his son Hugh as a hostage to the Lord Deputy; and if the Lord Deputy wishes to change the said hostage for another, O'Rwerch will send another in his place, viz., his son Thadeus.
(10.) These gentlemen here recited shall be in the peace and conduct of him and his heirs under the King;--the two McGranels, O'Mulmoy, McGlaugh, Kenalowhan, Colloflimme, McCahelrewe, O'Birne, McTernan, and McAnnauve.
(11.) The Lord Deputy and Council have promised to implore the King to grant and confirm to O'Rwerch and his son, whom he will name his heir, the lands which he now possesses, together with his title of Viscount of Dromaher, and to appoint him a fitting seat and place in his Parliament.
(12.) If O'Rwerch should be spoiled by any Irishmen, and, upon complaint exhibited to the Lord Deputy, no restitution should be made to him, then in that year he shall not pay the said subsidy of 20l., if the sum of the spoil should not (sic) exceed the half of the said subsidy.

sorry for any inconvenience
Thank you
WELL KIM how sorry are you really?
This I feel was a complete scam. Im thankful I was never charged for this or I would be much more upset, so I am going to call my bank asap to assure they dont try to receive any money from my account.
This was very upsetting to me as my husband and I have been dealing with a long-distance relationship due to family illnesses for about 6months and wanted to surprise him. If this is how this company conducts business they shouldn't be allowed to do so.

'Dixie's Tupperware Party' keeps humor surprisingly fresh
If you'd rank attending a Tupperware party alongside watching paint dry, you're in the same place I was upon being handed my obligatory nametag and a Tupperware catalogue when entering Vogel Hall for Tuesday's Milwaukee opening of "Dixie's Tupperware Party."

We have been FULL TIMERS for over 20 years and this was the only time we gave a deposit ($100) sight unseen for an RV space. Don't know what the other reviewers were looking at but we've been in a few RV parks over the years and my wife took one look and said 'NO WAY' ! Come to think of it: just who are those other reviewers?? Some residents stored belongings in front yard, boxes and all. Entire property was unlevel let alone the spaces! Lots of old vehicles and small bicycles scattered around. I've seen neater junk yards. Of course owner was 'not available' to discuss situation. We travel with 2 pets and after a long day we had to find a park, so we moved down the road and a later conversation with the owner about our deposit proved to be as fruitful as the park itself. He no doubt considered $100 a windfall. My advice: stay away from this place and never, never make a deposit sight unseen, regardless of how 'nice' the owner is on the phone or what the website 'looks like.' - asphaltmaniac

Everyone was helpful and friendly. Were invited to the park Halloween party. Owner gave us the month rate although we stayed less. If you have to have troubles, this is the place. - bilmo

Picked this park as it was the first RV park we saw coming into Springerville from the North. Friendly welcome. Good Sam discount.
Easy pull-up site with full hookups. Trees blocked Direct TV. I hooked up to park cable, but only got snow. Could have been my cable. No big deal. Mostly permanents here. They come from work at dark and leave early. Clean, quiet.
As a stopover it was fine. For more than a night? Probably not unless you plan on living there. - Brujomar

This price reflects GS discount. We gave this property rating because of the new managers as much as the amenities. Great service, no grass, a few picnic tables, level gravel sites, some weeds, dated fixtures, some shade, good water, tv, and wi-fi. Clean restrooms and showers, clean laundry facilities; not a resort, but a comfortable, safe place to stay. Can't over state the conscientious, friendly, helpful service. - siftndirt

This is a forest service campground so there are no hookups. However, it is one of our favorite places to camp in the White Mountains. All the sites are back-in. Reservations can be made at Recreation.gov. This is in the forest, so most of the sites are shaded. We had room to put out our awning. - jem11

This is a National Forest Service campground. Eight new showers were recently added. Use of the showers and dump station are free to campers. The campground is away from the Wallow fire area that burned in 2011. There are three lakes across the road that are frequently stocked with trout. There is one site with electric and water hook ups and one full hook up site. Both are available on a first come basis. Other sites can be reserved through the recreation.gov website. People with National access passes camp for 1/2 the rate. - JEMc

Stayed here between Christmas and New Year to spend a day skiing/snowboarding in the resort. While the facilities are limited the location is astonishing. We stayed here after there had been a very heavy snow fall the day before and the sites had been dug out and were separated by 6 foot high snow mounds! Overnight temperature dropped to 5.5F and the morning was beautiful clear sunny AZ day. Staff were delightful and no rush to check out, we did feel for the folks in a pop up given the temperature. - UK Traveller

Lyman Lake State Park is in transition with some new amenities. Limited staff. Great petroglyph hiking trail. Quiet in early April, mid week. May have a boating crowd later. $20 basic site no hookups. Cabins available. Construction on going. Windy. Lot spacing is spacious with a sunny/open exposure. Site surface is a concrete pad. - Pepe La Maison

Nice park and very quiet. Large sites with covered picnic tables and fire rings and grills. The park is a bit aged, but overall pleasant. No cell service (Verizon) and no OTA TV. There are pull-throughs, back-in and tent-only sites. Electric at site. You will probably have to level your RV some as the sites have some dips in there. - chinookgeo

I really enjoyed my stay at this under used Arizona State Park, partially due to the appearance of the campground and partially due to the lake. There are an assortment of mostly level sites available for an RV. The full hook-up sites are crowded together, the most popular, a lack of privacy, and they do have the most shade. There are a few back-in sites with 50 Amp and they are nearest to the lake, which is well below normal levels. There are three 100 foot long pull-through sites with 30 Amp and they are the most spacious and most quiet of the sites. Each site has a solid large ramada with a concrete patio. Cell phone service can be obtained here with a reliable provider. Signal strength is strongest at the picnic tables near the petroglyph trail head. There is no 3G or better service here. I stayed at Site 13 for four nights and found Site 14 an attraction for the rude style RV people. I moved over to a pull-through site and decided to extend my stay. The lake is suitable for swimming and a host of other water recreational activities. None of the camp sites are near the lake. Each is a good walk from the current shoreline. The rate reflects water and electric site fee. I look forward to returning to this State Park. - James Barr

Have visited here the past three September. A very nice National Forest campground in the White Mtns. Campground sits an easy hundred yards or so from Big Lake. Nearest town is Eager, about 23 miles away, but there is a small camp store a half mile before the campground on Big Lake that provides fishing/camping supplies and some basics. No cell service in campground, but you can get a signal at the Big Lake store. This is one of only two NFS campgrounds in the state of Arizona with electric hookups, therefore it books fast. Level gravel sites. Extremely clean bathrooms and showers.
Camp layout is odd. About half the sites are FHU while the other half are dry. The FHU and dry sites are interspersed among each other, not in separate areas loops. Additionally, over half of the hookup sites are set up as doubles, so you would have to pay for 2 sites.
If you can live without hookups, the National Forest campground next door (Rainbow Campground) offers more for your money - huge paved sites, good bathrooms, same fresh mountain air, for a lot less money. Would stay here again if I could get the right site, a single standalone electric site otherwise would first consider options next door at Rainbow. - TravelinTail

Where to start. I guess I'll start with the disappointment in finding out that the pull thru site we had reserved some two months earlier was given to someone else less than two hours before our arrival. The women representing herself as owner apologized for having assigned our reserved pull thru to what I learned later to be a two month renter, and offered me a choice of the two remaining back in sites along with a $10 discount for our inconvenience. All this after I had worked hard to convince the same owner that our 2003 motorhome was "worthy" of being in her park when making the reservation. Needless to say at 4:00 in the afternoon in Alpine, Arizona there was little else we could do but accept her offer and make the best of it. The campground is in a grove of tall pines that give good shade but the roads thru the park, as with the sites themselves, are a combination of dirt and gravel making for a very dusty campground. From our experience I would say this professed "senior" park is geared toward the long term camper and NOT for the one night stop. We made a mistake of accepting the high park rating that were based on but two reviews. This park, in our opinion, based on no bathrooms and all the dust rates, at best, a 3 out of 10 rating. No, we would NOT stay at Coronado Trail again if traveling thru Arizona in the future. - Sweatlife

I heard about this park from friends in another RV park. It's everything they said! Quiet, peaceful, very well managed! Owners are great folks and very accommodating. Starry nights listening to the elk and owls. I've been here since May 1st and will stay until late fall and I will be back next year! - Dean M

This is a very nice park located about 3/4 mile south of Alpine along the Coronado Trail on Hwy 191; the park is on the east side of the street. Definitely the best park in the Alpine area. Most sites have large pine trees, and sites are level with full hookups. The owners are very nice and accommodating. The park setting is in the pines at 8050 feet. It is a nice quiet setting with beautiful surroundings. Lots of hiking and ATV trails for those that love the outdoors. We stayed here for one month. - Skis

Hermes on sale
Twice a year Paris goes on Sale, with bargains to be had in almost every store in the City. Some of the luxury boutiques, like Louis Vuitton, don't participate at all, while others just keep it discreet, placing the sales items in a back room.
Hermes doesn't have a back room large enough, or perhaps they don't want hordes of bargain hunters rubbing shoulders with their exclusive clients. Whatever the reason, each season Hermes rents out the conference hall at the Porte Maillot and has a private sale that is open to the general public, no invitation required. It is enough to know the address and the date which is usually announced two weeks before the sale.
Address: Palais des Congrès, porte Maillot
Dates: Jan 16 - 19, 2013

Maskaev-Sanders Heads To Krasnodar on November 4
By Gregory Stangrit
Former WBC heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev (38-7, 28KOs) will now return on November 4th in Krasnodar, Russia. As previously reported, a deal has been struck for Maskaev to rematch Corey 'T-Rex' Sanders (23-13, 15KOs). In March of 2002, Sanders was down on the cards and came back to knock Maskaev out in the eight round of a big upset at the time. But then Sanders lost his next seven fights and walked away from the sport in 2007. Although inactive since then, Sanders is still only 38 while Maskaev is 44-years-old. Maskaev himself only came back to action last December after being inactive since 2009.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I hired Don Benedict for my father who is wheelchair bound with an amputated leg and he couldn't get into his bathrooms because the doors weren't wide enough. He wanted $750 and we gave him the money. He showed up one day and didn't finish the work. Only did one door, tore up the other door and didn't finish the flooring area on the one door he did. He didn't show back up. I would LOVE the information (address/license number etc) so I can go after this theif. I am currently waiting on the sheriff to come and take a report. I am also going to file a report with the attorney general's office today and I am going to take him to small claims court. He is complete slime and needs to be stopped. I am so angry that someone would do this to my disbaled father. This is now something extermely personal for me. He has hurt my father who has had cancer, lost his leg, got blown from a tank serving his country in Vietnam. This POS isn't a man!

Ricky Ponting does not think Australia vice-captain Shane Watson should play in the second Test against South Africa at the Adelaide Oval if he is not 100 per cent fit.
Watson did not feature in the first Test in Brisbane after succumbing to a calf strain he sustained while bowling for New South Wales in a Sheffield Shield match just days prior to the series opener. The 31-year-old confirmed on Monday he could not bowl if selected and would concentrate on proving his fitness as a batsman.
"No one can go into a Test match 70 per cent fit. I don't care if you're a batsman and a slip fielder. If you can't bat at 100 per cent, then you are putting pressure on other blokes as well," Ponting said.
"It doesn't matter what we think as team-mates, he will have a certain lot of criteria he will have to pass.
"There will be a certain amount of running he will have to do along with other things to prove that he's right to play a Test match.
"Someone has got to run with him between wickets and I'm sure that will be in the back of his mind - and certainly in the back of the mind of our physio and doctors - that are looking after him for the next couple of days.
"I believe he did some extra running last night and I'm not sure if he is planning to do that today but they will tick all the boxes to make sure he's right to play."
Watson trained in the nets on Tuesday before he was put through a number of fitness exercises and tests.
A decision on Watson will be made on Wednesday or the Thursday morning of the five-day clash, although Rob Quiney - who made his Test debut in Brisbane - is expected to retain his spot at number three.
Another selection dilemma Australia face is whether to drop paceman Ben Hilfenhaus for left-arm quick Mitchell Starc.

Welcome to the EnHANTs Project!
In this project we are developing Energy-Harvesting Active Networked Tags (EnHANTs). EnHANTs are small, flexible, and energetically self-reliant devices that can be attached to objects that are traditionally not networked (e.g., books, furniture, walls, doors, toys, keys, clothing, and produce), thereby providing the infrastructure for various novel tracking applications. Examples of these applications include locating misplaced items, continuous monitoring of objects (items in a store, boxes in transit), and determining locations of disaster survivors.
Recent advances in ultra-low-power wireless communications, ultra-wideband (UWB) circuit design, and organic electronic harvesting techniques will enable the realization of EnHANTs in the near future. In order for EnHANTs to rely on harvested energy, they have to spend significantly less energy than Bluetooth, Zigbee, and IEEE 802.15.4a devices. Moreover, the harvesting components and the ultra-low-power physical layer have special characteristics whose implications on the higher layers have yet to be studied (e.g., when using ultra-low-power circuits, the energy required to receive a bit is significantly higher than the energy required to transmit a bit).
The objective of the project is to design hardware, algorithms, and software to enable the realization of EnHANTs. This interdisciplinary project includes 5 PIs in the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Columbia University with expertise in energy-harvesting devices and techniques, ultra-low power integrated circuits, and energy efficient communications and networking protocols.
The project is supported in part by:
Dr. Robert Margolies received the Electrical Engineering Collaborative Research Award
Dr. Robert Margolies received the Electrical Engineering Collaborative Research Award. The award is "presented to Ph.D. candidates who make a superb contribution to a collaborative research effort". The award recognizes his excellent contribution to the EnHANTs project and his role in leading the collaborations within the project over the past few years. Robert received his Ph.D. in Sept. 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Gil Zussman and is a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, Egleston Doctoral Fellowship, ACM SenSys'11 Best Student Demo Award, and the Columbia University Electrical Engineering Master's Award of Excellence.
Dr. Maria Gorlatova and Dr. Aya Wallwater received the IEEE Communications Society Young Author Best Paper Award
Dr. Maria Gorlatova and Dr. Aya Wallwater received the IEEE Communications Society Young Author Best Paper Award for the following paper:
M. Gorlatova, A. Wallwater, and G. Zussman, "Networking Low-Power Energy Harvesting Devices: Measurements and Algorithms", IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, Vol. 13, No. 9, pp. 1853-1865, Sept. 2013.
This award recognizes "Author(s) of an original paper in a subject related to the Society's technical scope and appearing in one of the Society's solely owned or jointly owned transactions or journals in the previous 3 calendar years and who, upon the date of submission of the paper, is(are) less than 30 years of age." The award ceremony will take place at IEEE ICC'16 (May 2016).
The research described in the paper was motivated by advances in ultra-low-power communications and energy harvesting techniques. These advances will soon enable the operation of energy harvesting wireless nodes (e.g., powered by energy harvested from indoor light) that can serve as one of the building blocks for the Internet of Things. Although a lot of data is available regarding outdoor solar and wind energy, at the time of the paper publication, there was almost no information about the availability and characteristics of energy whose source is indoor ambient light.
Therefore, the paper summarized the results of a first-of-its-kind measurement campaign of indoor light energy harvesting levels and provided a through analysis of the results. Specifically, the paper presents the results of a 16-months-long light measurement study and provides key insights into algorithm and system design (e.g., determining the sizes of a node's energy harvester and battery). In addition, it introduces the design considerations of energy-harvesting-aware algorithms. In that area, it was the first to introduce the notion of time fairness to support the operation in a dynamic harvesting environment, and was the first to incorporate the nonlinearity of capacitor-based energy harvesting nodes into such algorithms.

king or dawson for the final.???/
i was chatting to my mate who is a spurs fan and we talked about the team to face man utd. i said i dont think king deserves a place in the final cos he hasnt played and dawson has been close to how he was 2 seasons ago, brilliant.
so what do u think ??? king played tonight and was ok but keane was captain . so i think daws for the final king on the bench.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
dont worry not blonde, i like hearing other opinions. also u have disagreed with everyone else by being the first person to suggest king & dawson!

Hi n-b-r, aren't you a female???? LOL
you are allowed to change your mind anyway.

Just seen this on football365.com:
""Tom Huddlestone may think maybe I'm going to start (Jermaine) Jenas and (Didier) Zokora but Tom will play a part on Sunday because he deserves to, he's been excellent. Same as Jamie O'Hara."
Full-back Chris Gunter was cup-tied for last season's Carling Cup triumph, so he is desperate to play his part this time around.
"With a game like that on Sunday, you need to take any chance to impress," said the Wales youngster.
Although his starting XI will be fresh for United, Redknapp still has to decide whether to field a five-man midfield, with Modric supporting a lone striker, or Pavlyuchenko and Darren Bent in a two-man attack. Factored into his thinking will be Pavlyuchenko carrying a groin injury this week. "
Almost a hint that he's going to start Hudd & O'Hara ahead of JJ & Zok... either way, I'm glad he's 1) thinking about what their thinking (it's that old 'man management' we've been talking about!) gonna give them a chance to play a part - not for sentimentality but looking at what they've been bringing to games.
Also, I didn't know Pav was carrying an injury... bloody typical. We're not doing all that well with one up front so I'd say start Bent, if he really doesn't want to then pull someone else into a striking role but keep 2 of them up there.
Btw, I'm not ignoring the team you've suggested there Mark, I just honestly don't know what I think about it - I keep changing my mind. If I decide my thoughts I'll let you know!
how about this play all 3
daws king woody
corluka o hara if fit
jenas mod
pav bent
maybe not our best 11 but i'm sure man utd won't expect it might give us more chance of getting forward more i'm happy with it what do u think wolfie gives us lennon on the bench i know but fancy a stronger workmanlike start till 55 mins then push on
Sorry Dawson i think it has to be King and Woodgate
Reason is King is such a presence and we seem to win when he plays and Man U will play it mostly on the deck and i feel woodgate is better at reading this than Daws, However next season would like to see Daws and Woodgate as our first choice centres to get some continuity we cant keep choping and changing.
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Feb 26, 2009 19:48 Flag
And I can think of quite a few where Woody's lost his man & that's why the goal's been conceded - I get quite peed off that they're never picked up on MotD or anything, because usually Dawson's had his man covered but has realised Woody's is in space while he's fck knows where, so he's been trying to man-mark 2 players, one of them's got free & Daws get the blame!
The more I think about it the more it's King & Daws for me. I don't think Ledley's lost all that much from his game, & he's very good at reading the players & the type of match, as well as being by far the best at organising the defence.
Oh, and I completely disagree about Dawson not been up to the Big Matches, I always think they're the ones he keeps his head in best - he looks proper excited about them and keen to get stuck in. If anything it's the 'smaller' games I think he's not as good at, I think he feels more pressure from knowing we shouldn't be letting any goals in & he should be easily dealing with them than he does when we're the underdogs, then he just wants to go & enjoy himself.
SB I feel like I'm disagreeing loads with you at the moment, nothing personal I swear!
Born2Suffer Born2Suffer Feb 26, 2009 06:23 Flag
Spursbabe, I can think of a few goals we've conceded because defenders stood watching when they should have been "diving in".
I agree staying on your feet is better most of the time, but sometimes prompt action is called for to get the block in or nick the ball away before the shot gets struck.
And Dawson is better than both of them in the air.

dawso was brilliant 2 years ago and he seems to be regaining his form.but in my opinion the only reason we turned chelski over like that last year was because the other players felt better having woody and king at the back.two solid defendes who couldnt give a shit if they were playng mk dons or ac milan.they always play the same TOP CLASS
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
IMHO, I don't think Woody is the same as last year and Ledley isn't either.
Daws has been the rock at the back, not Woody. Woody lost it this season when he got that early injury and hasn't looked the same since. And Ledley seems worried about turning on that knee - and the lack of match fitness obviously tells.
To me it's not about reputations - but I do agree that if Woody/King give the rest of the payers a lift, then that is worth it - but is it better to have that lift (and how do you quantify that?) or have a player on top of his game? To me the latter.
I'd have Ledley in the team the same as the rest of you - BUT only when he's playing week in/out and he's over the injury.
It's scary when your manager says .....
"Dawson has been fantastic for me and done a great job," said Redknapp.
"But when Ledley plays we seem to win. He played at Manchester City when we won, he played at West Ham when we won and at Hull when we won.
"You just wish you could get Ledley on the pitch more because when he plays he has a presence about him.
"Ledley's a very important player to us, so we'll have to see how he is for Sunday."
....what hope then for Bale? Was 'arry also wearing his lucky underpants? If the manager isn't looking at who is actually playing well, but picking a team based on 'who played when we last won' than I'm amazed.

I think he means the same as I said though - having Ledley there instils confidence in the team, I suppose him having been at the club so long gives a sense of history and occasion to the newer memebers of the team, especially because they know he only plays important games.
I'd love for Dawson to get a start though.

Firstly (and most importantly), a great plug-in - thank you. It's just what I need.
Good News: - All works well in IE9 (just need to adjust the width of the player)
Not so Good News: - In Chrome, Safari and Firefox I get the single track player plus space for the playlist - but no playlist.
Bad News: - In IE8, no cover art, no tracks listed at all, nothing plays
I have tried deleting the plug-in and re-installing; de-activating all other plug-ins. No change.
As everything works in IE9, I'm sure I'm doing something dumb but after hours and hours trying to find the blunder myself it's time to ask (politely) for help!

Hi all,
I think the structure of these support pages is a bit difficult when it comes to find what and how many plugins are there (did I totally miss it or there's no such thing?).
I'm a newbie to WordPress and my site is still under construction, I've many ideas but I don't wish to reinvent the wheel, so I think it would be nice to see all plugins listed as subcategories.
To announce a new plugin to the community, each maintainer should sticky-post the manifest. Related discussions could then follow in the same subcategory or, even better, ordered as "requests", "comments", "hacks", "howto" and so on.
What's your opinion?

You could just have asked me .

Hehe, well many thanks for the inspiration then! Never knew I was building SNIR45. It took me a while to figure out how it was done. I used 1x1 bricks with 1 knob to attach either the 2x1 tiles or the 1x8 tiles for the joints. This means that not all tiles are attached and that the long joints are sort of hoovering on one side. I have put a loose 1x8 tile underneath it to support it. I couldnt find a better way and it looks effective enough, but perhaps you found a way??

- I like your shutter, they are effective especially when your looking from a certain distance
- Your attic or your third floor is my favorite on, your piano is really good looking
- Your windows are great with the color sample, it add a nice touch
- Oh and your water evacuation hole at the bottom of the foundation, this is a win!
Well done, hope to see more modular

I just upgraded my wordpress from pre-2.0 to 2.3.
And most things seem okay, but there are a couple issues.
Firstly, one of my posts (just one so far) seems to be missing the little comments link (you know, the one that says "no comments" or "2 comments" or whatever).
Secondly, when I try to edit old posts it gives me this error:
Something went wrong - -32300 : transport error - HTTP status code was not 200
Usually I can figure this stuff out on my own, but this warning is just too vague. I can't figure out what it means.

Lady Gaga Urges Fans: Root For Me and Taylor Kinney!
Is there still hope?
Is there still hope?
After five years of dating, Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney have reportedly called it quits.
Could Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney be about to start a family?
The couple are reportedly putting their wedding on hold in favor of creating a little monster of their own.
Whether you watched the 2016 Golden Globes ceremony last night, or just caught the highlights online this morning, there's likely one moment that made you laugh a hell of a lot more than Best Comedy winner, The Martian.
Yes, we're talking about Lady Gaga bumping into Leonardo DiCaprio on her way to accept the prize for Best Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie.
Lady Gaga and fiance Taylor Kinney have painted a colorful picture of their sex life - literally.
Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney are in vacation in the Bahamas this week and while you might think that the Mother Monster would enjoy some time away from the spotlight, but you would be dead wrong.
Is Lady Gaga pregnant with her first child? That's the rumor going around and there are - allegedly - photos of the pop star to back it up no less.
Back in February, Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney got engaged and announced it to the world in a way that didn't involve any vomit artists or clothing made out meat or Muppets.
Everything about the engagement - from the classic-style ring to the one-knee proposal - was far more traditional and, dare we say, boring than we would've expected from Gaga.
It's been a memorable couple weeks for Lady Gaga.
First, the 28-year-old pop star got engaged to Taylor Kinney, her boyfriend of several years, and flashed her giant, 15-carat diamond ring to the world.
As you've probably heard, Lady Gaga got engaged to Taylor Kinney on Valentine's Day after three years of dating.
Taylor is an actor on the NBC series Chicago Fire, so he's not exactly some unemployed shlub, but obviously Gaga is the one really bringing home (and wearing) the bacon in this relationship,
Just dance? More like just smile!
On Saturday, Taylor Kinney decided to make an honest woman out of Lady Gaga after about three years of dating, proposing to the superstar in New York City.

Simultaneous Treatment of Vapor Pressures and Related Thermal Data Between the Triple and Normal Boiling Temperatures for n‐Alkanes C5–C2023(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555942View Description Hide Description
Experimental vapor pressures, calorimetric enthalpies of vaporization and differences between the heat capacities of the ideal gas and the liquid for n‐alkanes C5 to C20 between the triple and normal boiling temperatures have been treated simultaneously. Attention was focused particularly on the region of low pressures where vapor pressure data are scarce and subject to important systematic errors. The reliability and consistency of data fro different sources was evaluated and the three parameter Cox equation was used to correlate simultaneously as a function of temperature the selected values of different properties. The recommended vapor pressures and thermal data resulting from this procedure are mutually consistent over the homologous series and present a considerable refinement particularly at lower pressures.
Viscosity of Selected Liquid n‐Alkanes23(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555943View Description Hide Description
A critical assessment has been made of the available experimental viscosity data for liquid n‐hexane, n‐heptane, n‐octane, n‐decane, n‐dodecane, and n‐tetradecane, with the aim of establishing standard reference values along the saturation line. Recommended viscosities are given at 298.15 K with an uncertainty conservatively estimated to be ±0.3%, except for n‐hexane and n‐heptane where it is 0.4%. Selected data which cover most of the normal liquid range are satisfactorily correlated using a modified form of Arrhenius equation. The estimated uncertainty in this correlation is ±0.5% for viscosities above 0.25 mPa s and ±1% for lower viscosities.
Heat Capacity of Liquid n‐Heptane Converted to the International Temperature Scale of 199023(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555944View Description Hide Description
Heat capacities of liquid n‐heptane, that is the recommended calorimetric reference material, have been converted to the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS‐90) and new reference data have been generated. Raw experimental data measured at the National Bureau of Standards, Washington and at the Bureau of Mines, Bartlesville have been critically selected from a large compilation of liquid heat capacity data. A joint correlation of the converted data has been performed. Sets of reference data are presented for both the saturation and the isobaric heat capacities in the range fro 182.6 to 480 K. Parameters of a correlating equation and tables of heat capacities are provided.

A thermodynamic property formulation by Jůza has been tested in detail against available experimental data. The reliability of the formulation has been determined Deviations of experimental and calculated data are generally within the limits of experimental accuracy. This article includes a survey of available experimental data and equations of state, a fundamental equation for xenon explicit in dimensionless Helmholtz energy as a function of reduced density and temperature, the values of its constants and coefficients, relations for computation of derived thermodynamic quantities, detailed comparison with experimental data, tables of thermodynamic functions calculated with the present formulation for the fluid state within the range of its validity for the single‐phase region, along the saturation curve and for the critical region.

'Nine Lives of Chloe King' and 'Teen Wolf' finale thoughts
ABC Family and MTV's animalistic teens wrapped their summer runs
Tis the week to say farewell to both of the summer's high profile teen-becomes-an-animal-and-falls-in-love-with-the-child-of-their-nemesis cable dramas.
MTV's "Teen Wolf" wrapped up its first season on Monday (August 15) night with a finale that included a few lingering questions, but no pressing cliffhangers. If you're a writer-producer, it's the sort of finale you can turn in if you're confident that you'll be continuing the story a few months down the road. Indeed, MTV renewed "Teen Wolf" weeks ago and new episodes will premiere in 2012 and if the network holds off till the summer again, I'll probably even keep watching, despite the galling awareness that Australian doctorologists say that TV is killing me at a rate of 22 minutes per small screen hour. Since reading the results of that scientifically questionable study, I've been evaluating what percentage of my TV viewing is worth dying for. With "Teen Wolf," I'm certain it's a loss.
While I haven't loved "The Nine Lives of Chloe King," I've found it to be a pleasantly entertaining summertime diversion, low impact but likable. When musing on the TV that's killing me, "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" doesn't go under the heading of TV Worth Dying Slowly For, but unlike "Teen Wolf," it also can't be filed under Oh God, I'm Squandering My Life. It's better suited for the I Probably Wasn't Gonna Do Anything Better With That Time pile, which isn't too shabby.
But like my own dwindling reservoir of mortality, "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" may not be around forever. The superpowered drama finished its opening installment of episodes on Tuesday (August 16) night and it has yet to be picked up for any additional episodes. That's not a terrific sign, especially if you consider that "Switched at Birth," which premiered within days of "Chloe" and has been a true summer smash, has already been picked up for a whopping 22 episodes. With ABC Family's packed schedule and more original premieres on the horizon, I can see how it might make sense to cut ties with a show that hasn't necessarily stirred up the sort of buzz the network might have hoped for. But having watched the "Chloe King" finale, I'm sure I speak for whatever fanbase the show has in saying that cancelation now would just be plain cruel.
Thoughts on the two finales after the break... Obviously with spoilers.
All season long, my policy was that a lacrosse-free episode of "Teen Wolf" was a good episode of "Teen Wolf," if "good" equals "less awful than the lacrosse-themed episodes." I think lacrosse is a fun sport to watch and play, but it's a stupid sport to attempt to depict on TV and an even stupider substitute for basketball from the original film. But I've ranted about this aspect of things quite enough.
The "Teen Wolf" finale was a tense affair full of shocking revelations, or revelations that were shocking to people on screen, but which had been revealed to us previously. Peter's the Alpha? Yes. We know. Kate started the fire that a dozen different people had been blamed for over the course of the season? Sure. We knew that.
So most of the real suspense in the finale was whether Allison would find a way to forgive and love Scott after discovering, almost simultaneously, that he was a werewolf and her family destiny was to kill werewolves. The short answer: Yes. Yes she could forgive him.
Yeah, the finale was full of pulse-pounding thrills, except that no amount of narrative urgency was too important that it couldn't be set aside for a hideously bad product plug for some sort of AT&T mobile hotspot device. I understand that these shows have to sell products to stay in business, but if you're a showrunner, you have to have the guts to say "This is my freaking finale. You're not going to ruin my finale with an AT&T commercial." But that's not the way Jeff Davis went and we got Stiles and The Alpha pausing to chatter about the difficulties of getting Internet connectivity at the least appropriate place possible.
The finale then unspooled into a sloppy climax in which all of our main characters battled a blurry CGI blob -- at least now we understand why we'd been denied full-on wolf effects for the majority of the season. The effect in which the CG Alpha staggered backwards after being kicked by Scott was so poor they might as well have gone with claymation. But we finally set the Alpha on fire and and Derek shockingly killed Peter rather than giving Scott the chance to dewolf. Totally selfish, right? And Derek growls, "I'm the Alpha now." And the camera pulled back and you thought, "That's a good place to leave things."
But then, almost as if somebody swapped the reels in the projection booth, we cut to Scott and Stiles checking in on Lydia, who's still alive, but she's also not healing, which means that she isn't a werewolf, but she is something else. What is she? Dunno. But I was more curious about the situation in which Scott and Stiles stared at the newly Alpha-ed Derek, eyes all a-glow, and said, "That was really mean of you, but if you don't mind, we have to go see our friend at the hospital." Then in the next scene, we had Jackson searching for Derek, even though he'd know where he was a few minutes earlier, begging Derek to bite him. Then we went back to Scott, now without Stiles, up on the roof making out with Allison, as Mrs. and Mr. Argent stood in the next room having a vague conversation that gave no real indication that Mr. Argent had been eager to run Scott down with his car just a few hours earlier.
There are definitely questions leading into next season: What's up with Lydia? Why can't I remember if they explained what's up with Carver from "The Wire"? Are the Argents really just remaining in town to give Allison the chance to eventually sleep with Scott (albeit hopefully not in an abandoned schoolbus as may have been her preference)? What the heck happened after Derek announced he was the Alpha and why didn't anybody think that was a good chance for a preemptive strike? And Will Scott's mom ever pay their power bill or will the McCalls continue to live in a weird state of perpetual darkness? Did "Teen Wolf" really resort to a "Female werewolves are bitches *twice* a month... you know... cuz they get periods" joke? And if every slo-mo scene in "Teen Wolf" were shot in regular speed, how short would each episode actually be? I'm thinking the finale would have been 25 minutes if you just showed everything at a normal pace.
Anyway, that was Season One of "Teen Wolf." If it had premiered in February, I'd have stopped watching after a week.
Oh good gracious.
What a freaking mess.
And you can't really expect me to accept that there's an iota of a chance that this may have been a series finale, can you?
So to recap, as the episode ended we had:
... Valentina poisoned. [That's bad.]
... Jasmine stabbed. [That's bad.]
... Alek showing up and threatening to kill the evil Zane, only to have Zane announce that they're brothers. [That's not really bad, but it's definitely an awkward family reunion.]
... Chloe's mom out on a not-date with Brian's dad, who probably wants to kidnap her or poison her or stab her or something. [That's bad, albeit hypothetically.]
... Chloe shot to death. [That's bad. But not so bad. She has nine lives. You might have heard about them.]
... Brian arriving in time to see Chloe dead, repeatedly telling her he loves her, seeing her reanimated [nine lives, remember?], kissing her and dying, or something. [That's bad. But we *were* told that sometimes the Mai kiss only causes a coma and Chloe isn't a trained doctor.]
[Somehow nothing bad happened to Amy and Paul. What's up with that? They weren't worth even an iota of nefarious plotting from Those Bad People Who Want To Kill Chloe?]
Anyway, if that's how ABC Family decides to end things with "The Nine Lives of Chloe King," that would be a wee bit open-ended, wouldn't it? More like "The Nine Dangling Plotlines of Chloe King."
The finale was simultaneously a bit meandering and a bit rushed. Chloe's whiplash back and forth between Brian and Alek has never been all that compelling to me because I never believed she had all that much chemistry with either guy, but this week's love-swap -- out with the Alek, back in with the Brian -- was abrupt and it wasn't aided by the tension-sapping visit to grandma, who we always figured would be evil, but whose actual evil nature remains vague and uninteresting. [Leaving grandma aside for a second and returning to the love triangle, I get that some people are Team Brian and some people are Team Alek, but I can't get behind either entanglement. I've also been told that it's entirely unacceptable to be Team Chlamy, so I guess I'll have to root for a third option to show up.]
Meanwhile, Zane's betrayal at the end of last episode and into this episode would have been more effective if the character hadn't been randomly introduced last week and if we hadn't been properly convinced that Jasmine can't do anything right and therefore of *course* she'd date a guy who wants to kill everybody she knows.
And although I mocked "Teen Wolf" for sacrificing finale pacing for a product plug, I was astounded that after two straight weeks in which Kia was practically a guest star, climaxing with Chloe securing her own energy efficient, moderately priced car, this week's episode found her sneaking out to seemingly meet her father and doing it on foot, leading to a confusing "I'll give you a ride" exchange with Brian, rather than a "It's OK, I'm going to take my brand new Kia, even if I only have a learner's permit, it's such a reliable and safe automobile it can even keep an unlicensed Mai safe." At least then there would have been a narrative payoff for the Kia.
I also still don't know what to think about Chloe's father and I'm surprised there wasn't one last beat involving his whereabouts. I mean, we assume that all of his earlier emails weren't fabrications, were they? Or is that what was happening with Evil Grandma and the burning art? Did I mention that "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" is a show that I enjoy largely because it doesn't require that I take "Breaking Bad"-style notes when I watch. I get that the text messages were sent by the two useless scrawny assassins and the only only-slightly-less-usless and only-slightly-less-scrawny assassin who were only at the theater to tire Chloe out before Brian's Dad's Mean Girlfriend shot her.
One of the great things about a show in which your main character has nine lives is that you can periodically kill her off in gruesome ways just to keep viewers on edge. One of the down sides of having a show in which your main character has nine lives is that when a season finale rolls around and you haven't used any of those lives since the premiere, everybody knows one of those fake-deaths is coming, so nobody's actually on edge. Know what I mean?
On Twitter earlier this week, I was asked if I thought that "Chloe King" is possibly too wholesome for an ABC Family audience that has tarted itself up with the marquee success of "Pretty Little Liars." I fear that may be at least partially the case. Chloe learned in the pilot that if she so much as slipped tongue to a mortal guy, she might kill him. So sexuality was basically off the table this season. The show's violence was always muted, the adult language was non-existent and we keep learning the dangers of keeping secrets from your parents and, last week, the dangers of skeevy older guys using the Internet as a den to entrap impressionable teens for white slavery. "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" almost could have aired on Disney Channel, it was so pure. And maybe ABC Family's audience is into darker themes these days?
Oh well.
It doesn't seem right for "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" to end this way, not with a full seven lives to go. As I said back when I first reviewed the show, I think Skyler Samuels is a star and I think she'll be OK even if cancellation occurs, but I like the show around her enough that I'll be a bit disappointed if this is limbo is where we're stuck for good.
Anyway, what'd y'all think of either the "Teen Wolf" or "Nine Lives of Chloe King" finales?
