Nokia Lumia 920 ReviewNokia Lumia 920 9
Consistency is something that's persistently found with the Window Phone experience, and in this scenario, it's no different from the other Window Phone 8 smartphones we've reviewed in recent memory. That's not a bad thing per se, especially when the dynamic look of the start screen and its live tiles help to complement the actual design of the smartphone. Frankly, there's no arguing the appreciable new improvements found with the platform, which we've detailed in our reviews of the HTC 8X and Samsung ATIV S.
However, there are still some much-needed improvements required to bring it up to the level of its contemporaries. For instance, we like how the lock screen provides us with tangible notifications, but it would be nice to find a centralized hub somewhere in the interface aside from the lock screen, where we can view everything simultaneously. Yet, behind it all, it's the energetic presentation and lively appearance of the start screen that makes it so very engaging and enticing.
Unlike the other Windows Phone 8 smartphones we've checked out, Nokia has it wildcard of "pure experience" apps to catapult its offering – these include Nokia Maps, Drive, City Lens, and Music. For now, it's worth pointing out that these are only available on Nokia's Lumia smartphones, but we'll expand more about their functionality and usefulness later on.
In terms of organization, there's nothing out of the ordinary found with the Nokia Lumia 920, seeing that we're presented with the usual set of core organizer apps found with all Windows Phone 8 devices. In addition to the Alarm, Calendar, Calculator, and Kids Corner, you have Bing Search to accomplish a variety of tasks besides web searches – such as being able to speak commands to open apps, compose a message, or search for a point of interest.
Having plenty of room to play around with, its 4.5-inch display is perfect for typing up messages with its on-screen keyboard. Seeing that it has a spacious portrait layout that's easily encompassed by our thumbs, combined with its responsiveness, we're able to maintain a steady rate of input with little to no issues at all. However, we're not a fan of the gap on the left side of the landscape keyboard.
As usual, the email experience is effective enough to keep up busy and organized on the road. Indeed, it has all the basic functions we'd expect to find, but it doesn't quite match the level of depth seen with Android's Gmail experience.
Processor and Memory:
Armed with a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus processor coupled with 1GB of RAM, it's obviously more than ample to elicit one responsive performance. Surely it's adept in handling a wide array of basic tasks, like opening apps, but it's also capable of maintaining a tolerable level with more intensive processes – such as 3D gaming. As much as we want to say we're astounded by the performance, it's nothing necessarily different, since you know, this is the typical performance we see out of all Windows Phones in general.
Donning a closed design with its unibody polycarbonate body, there's no storage expandability with this beauty. Meaning, you'll need to be a bit cautious with monitoring its 32GB internal capacity.
Internet and Connectivity:
Although it's something expected in this day and age, the Lumia 920 is able to deliver fast data speeds courtesy of its 4G LTE connection. However, it's nice to find that there isn't a hitch to Internet Explorer's performance now that the Lumia 920 is sporting a higher resolution display. Delivering the same lovable aspects as before, such as fast page loads, fluid navigational controls, and proper rendering, the Lumia 920 continues the trend of providing us with a superb experience.
International travel isn't a problem with this GSM smartphone, seeing that it's compatible to work with most GSM networks overseas – though, LTE connectivity is established domestically via AT&T's network. Being the flagship device it is, the Lumia 920 packs connectivity feature like aGPS, Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, mobile hotspot functionality, and NFC. With the latter, the platform's "Tap & Send" feature allows for quick sharing of multimedia by simply tapping the rear of the Lumia 920 with another NFC-equipped Windows Phone.

I do too. (just saying)
still waiting for the Nexus 4 - and after that... will be the battle for my next phone. :) for once, a galaxy or an appleis out of the question. it's this or the Nexus 4 ( if it comes soon enough, HTC DLX)
46. san47 (Posts: 7; Member since: 07 Sep 2012)
my honest suggestion: never buy a HTC phone it keeps you in down whole time.
Nexus 4 is from LG not sure about the quality of build and performance though price and specs are attractive.
50. robocopvn (Posts: 412; Member since: 10 Mar 2010)
I agree. I was so upset on what HTC do for their early-customers. In my case, I bought the HTC Aria in October 2010 at 500usd (not cheap), and let's see what I've got: nothing, even no ginger-bread update at all. During that time, the Samsung galaxy Ace (with identical hardware) got many good updates.
I still use HTC aria now with CM7 (big thank to the CM team). To be honest, HTC has one of the best build quality but after-sell service is so bad. I will never ever buy the other HTC phone

LG Optimus "G" gangnam style is A PREMIUM ELEGANT PHONE.
138. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
lmao you need help mate the 920 doesnt look like a toy, plus its build quality is to nokia standards which is arguably the best
the fact you said ''LG Optimus "G" gangnam style''
this shows your just some kid

Just like the Iphone? the phone that is known to have a cracked screen as well as the back?

Bought my first lumia 920 last week, first time I've ever really loved a phone

Nexus 4 is good but using wrong processor, I guess. Snapdragon S4 pro is suit for Tablet of Notebook

Wish i could give the phone a thumb up!!
This is it people...the real deal! And it scored 9!! :D
19. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Just a nine? Not even a little extra change? 9.3, perhaps? Think of it on a A, B, C, D, F scale: only a couple phones have yet scored above a B.
24. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3749; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Let's be content with nine Sir...:)
29. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
@PA there is a free Nokia app called "Camera Extras" that has all the modes you lament the lack of. It is a must-have for any Lumia, to the point I am surprised it isn't pre-installed.
30. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Also, how is it not "cutting-edge" and "compelling"? Wireless charging, great screen usable through nom-capacitive gloves, extra tweaks that really solidify the UX and improve overall satisfaction? If they'd managed to do it in a body as thin as an Oppo5, would it help its cause?
160. PolishHitta (Posts: 11; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
Isn't this the first phone EVER to introduce a build in optical stabilizer into its imaging lens?
39. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
This is an example of why I continue to wonder who is minding the store at Nokia - why do they under-provision their flagship phone? If the app exists, why not include it? It is not as if people aren't interested in camera functions of the L920....
It would also justify (to me) why the L920 scored a 9....

I'm not seeing this app, I did get all their other lenses though that do pretty good.

Where did you find this app? I am not seeing it...
92. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
for start nothing is installed now a day s on any moblies free or not we have to get it from market places eaisy to do it though

166. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
the n9 came with everything installed
36. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
FWIW, I said the same thing about the Note2 and another device recently, so while I'm admittedly pro-WP and pro-Nokia, this is a statement more about the scoring than the phones' scores. These half-point increments don't do an adequate job of showing differentiation. If, for instance, the Note2 got a 9.2 and the Lumia 920 got a 9.1 and a Galaxy S3 got a 9.0 (just for an example), we could infer that the Note2 is, overall and in PA's view, the bestof the three phones.
88. fins71 (Posts: 17; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Fwiw, just confirming that you did state in Note2 comments that since it had no stated cons that you thought it should be a 9.3 or higher.
94. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Yep. Thanks for the outside confirmation :)
31. schinnak (Posts: 91; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Me too ;-))
There was a time when Nokia phones were considered premium and the likes of Samsung etc were alternate cheaper options. Look how the tables have turned !
Having said that, Lumia 920 is definitely a good bang for the buck and arguably one of the best win phones to grab and try your hands on.
64. OptimusOne (Posts: 694; Member since: 22 May 2012)
just what i predicted!
8x: 8
I would argue with the first 2 but the 9 for the lumia was well deserved
84. ChiX017 (Posts: 308; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
Me too....the size & Feel of this phone is its main attraction!
2. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
Now this is a non-biased review.. :D
6. MeoCao (unregistered)
And it would be even more non-biased if the score was 10, right? :))
7. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
I dont really expect that. But this one is not bashing the weight. Im sick of it.lol
21. MeoCao (unregistered)
There is no such thing as a non-biased review, b-c the reviewer say what HE thinks, and every1 has his/her own opinion.
maybe in this case you and the reviewer have same opinion. But most people want lighter phones than 180gr given the screen size is only 4.5".
28. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
you cant help but find negatives with anything other the android can you.
and you cant say most people want a lighter phone, as if the weight of the 920 is a problem for you to pick up you really need help. plus people manage with the size and weight of the note 2 why is it different when it comes to the 920.
161. PolishHitta (Posts: 11; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
I found the Lumia 920 weight to be perfect. It actually feels like a solid phone, not some toy that falls apart after six months of use. Aside from that it felt really well in my hand, didn't slide or feel out of balance.
Now that's my point of view of the weight... ITS AN OPINION. Kids gotta quit assuming that everyone prefers a lighter phone.
40. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Just like how the OG Palm Pre was the most un-biased at all for getting a 9.9!
17. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
indeed it is, Great job John :)
3. shahulvm (Posts: 124; Member since: 01 Apr 2012)
I read from Ativ S review user comments, that Lumia 920 would get a score of 9, as phonearena has become predictable and how the true score is..
(second comment in Ativ S review)
52. Jabarkas (unregistered)
I'm also a little bit dissapointed with PA. Lumia 920 has problems with call quality. Its camera is exceptional only in the field of low-light photos. In other areas even not so great HTC 8X is often better (yet Nokia still weights 185g mostly because of the camera). Moreover while it is relatively a cheap phone in U.S., it is incredibly expensive in other countries.
Perhaps Nokia is still in our hearts. But that still makes this score (9/10) unjustified.
4. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I thought it will be overpriced.
But credit where it's due, this a great package for the money
35. hiBreed (Posts: 90; Member since: 29 May 2012)
that is no over price, you get what you pay for
68. OptimusOne (Posts: 694; Member since: 22 May 2012)

lol u making us laugh its the top end display you can wait for review of 920 vs samsung and ip5 then say wht u see cuz those are detailed comparisions
107. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
I've seen this display IRL. Doesn't pop as much as the display on the 900, but it's pretty good. And the resolution more than makes up for it. BTW, who actually looks at their phone from that angle anyways.

I like my Nokia 920.. But unfortunately.. I'll be taking it back... Its confusing..i will try the iPhone 5 now..then the Samsung galaxy note 2
23. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
...how is it confusing? There are user guides and tutorials not only on the phone, but online as well. You can also call Nokia and they offer FREE human assistance for setting it up!
95. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Also in-store. Since AT&T was requiring a lot of its "frontline" reps to use the Lumia 900, most of the tenured store reps have decent familiarity with Windows Phone.
32. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
if your confused by the 920, you wont be able to use android lol how is it confusing?
43. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
How android is confusing??????it maintains traditional UI....where as wp uses whole new UI.... Honestly wp will be confusing for new comers.......
48. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
no you not understanding, android will confuse more then wp8 as like all you android users go on and on about the amount of setting and customisation will be confusing.
also they say how wp8 is so simple, so you cant at one time say its simple then say its confusing when it suits.
54. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
You are telling about early years of android....just go and have experience with jelly bean....nothing confusing......every thing is on the go.....am using android from 2.2...at that time it was little complex....but now its very fast, easy to use...

Troll Queen.
Uploaded 10/01/2012
It's occurred to me I'm some type of troll Houdini.
For the past couple of weeks I've been getting pm's from all kinds of users informing me there's some type of cult following on my part. It seems the less time I spend on eBaums, the more I'm the subject of conversation.
They tell me I've got to see it - the blog section's resident fail troll has mentioned my name something like 126 times. Apparently this loser misses me so much people had to look me up due to some paranoid accusations they were me, or "working" with me. (I heard Jason Bourne got into it, too.)
Supposedly, blogs full of shit stories have gone up and tons of new alts have been born. And in the same fell swoop, they're all anxiously waiting for my blogs, and arguing with each other over me.
I've even received several notes that this fail troll, along with two other tools from the now-defunct chat, have been working for something like two months trying to figure out all my personal info. From the piss-poor effort they've exerted so far, I'm apparently a minimum-wage worker (figures) named "Kathy". This is based on nothing, since the very little info I've ever given is nothing close to posting your Facebook page.
I'm thinking this is due to the recent news that someone did a quick reverse-image search on the fail troll's Fb page and located the uncensored one in something like 30 seconds. In short, thanks to this moron's own stupidity, everyone has a crapload of information on them. I don't get how being kicked around translates to it being a huge conspiracy led by me, but I'm really flattered. In checking out all the things people are making fun of this failure over, it explains all this made-up shit regarding my "job" on my blogs. Projection of one's own problems or status is a frequent practice of people like this.
Maddox has stated "trolling" is too convenient an excuse for losers who are caught in bullshit. But from my experience, I say it's easier to spot your game. Basically, anyone who brags they're impossible to troll are the easiest in the world to piss off. And how much simpler could it be, causing so much distress and desperate toil without saying a fucking word?
I took a hiatus a few weeks ago so I could enjoy a nice vacation with one of said tools' gay crush, my Fuzzball. And after a week of total absence, my inbox is full of notes regarding haters' activity. Nobody knows what I possibly could've done to piss people off so fucking bad without being here, but you gotta admit - they're some serious trolling skills.
Going with the usual 16-hr. time frame our resident fail troll is on the site every day, my blogs are sequentially hit by all their new alts: thekongofcool, Hotel_Manager, NutGobbler(an impersonating alt with a capital "I" in place of the "l", cutedude - even the long-scorned and bitter blueberrybunch tries to get in on the attempts once in awhile. It's pretty obvious, the effort to make up for all the embarrassment from users on his/her own blogs.
Although I'm flattered as always to have so many fans (losers included), there's only one aspect concerning me. It's returning after that week to find nothing had been done regarding these individuals' attempting to find my info, as well as their stupidity in actually spreading around they're trying.
Not that I'm the least bit confident they could find a thing, I've still taken the opportunity to contact eBaum's legal department over taking this issue up a major step. It shouldn't be too difficult, considering these users' track records.
I'm still happy to have plenty of readers and subscribers, and considering what I've been reading on this loser's blogs, it makes me feel a lot happier I don't work in maintenance or have a neglected child. Thanks to all the users who've sent me messages of support and info.

GW Men's Hoops Falls to Massachusetts, 86-75
Senior Tony Taylor Nets Season-High 26 Points to Pace Colonials
Feb. 4, 2012
Box Score | Box Score | Photo Gallery
WASHINGTON - Senior Tony Taylor scored a season- and game-high 26 points, but it was not enough to lead the George Washington men's basketball team past Massachusetts as the Colonials fell to the Minutemen, 86-75, on Saturday evening in the Charles E. Smith Center.
GW (8-15, 3-6 A-10) trailed by single-digits throughout much of the contest and threatened to close within a possession of the lead on several occasions in the second half. However, the Colonials failed to get the defensive stops they needed to get any closer than six and allowed a season-high 86 points to the Minutemen, the Atlantic 10's highest-scoring team.
Junior Dwayne Smith added a season-high 16 points and junior David Pellom chipped in nine points, 10 rebounds and three assists in his return after missing the last three games with a knee injury. Taylor, Smith and Pellom combined to make 16-of-29 shots, while the rest of the Colonials were just 10-of-31 from the field.
Four Massachusetts (17-6, 6-3 A-10) players reached double-figures, led by Terrell Vinson's 21 points. Chaz Williams and Freddie Riley each made three three-pointers and added 15 and 12 points, respectively, and Javorn Farrell scored 11. The Minutemen shot a season-best 55.4 percent (31-of-56) from the field, fueled by 23-of-33 shooting inside the arc.
A Pellom dunk, Taylor three-point play and Mikic three-pointer - one of just two on the night on 16 attempts for the Colonials - helped GW get within 66-60 with seven minutes remaining, but UMass scored two baskets in a span of 44 seconds to reopen a double-digit cushion and used an 11-4 run for a 77-64 advantage with 4:41 left.
The Colonials again made a push behind a three-point play from Bryan Bynes and transition layup from Lasan Kromah which cut the deficit to 80-73 with 2:25 to play, but three consecutive missed three-pointers on their next possession stalled any chance at a comeback.
UMass made six of its eight three-pointers in the first half, while GW missed all seven of its attempts, to lead 40-35 at halftime. The Minutemen led by as many as 14 thanks to a 21-5 run sparked by five triples, but the Colonials responded with 10 straight points to close within four and eventually trailed by five at the break.
Taylor's 26 points were just two off his career-high and moves him to 1,265 for his career. He vaulted past Carl Elliott into 23rd all-time at GW and is now nine points shy of equaling SirValiant Brown's 1,274 career points.
The loss marked GW's first to UMass in three seasons and just its eighth in 28 meetings at the Smith Center. The Colonials still maintain a 35-27 edge in the all-time series.
GW next visits A-10 leader Temple (17-5, 6-2 A-10) on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The contest will be televised regionally by CBS Sports Network and air locally on NBC Washington Nonstop. It can also be heard live on FederalNewsRadio.com and 1500/820 AM.

Big Spring Creek, Cumberland County, 9-14-09

Hello everyone,
I haven't been on here in a while, been chasing bass mostly at raystown.
Hit big spring for about an hour last night, and didn't do anything. I saw some tire marks in the grass next to one of my favorite spots and..imagine that, there wasn't any where near the number of fish in that spot now. I spotted a few under the brush but nothing like there was earlier in the year. It was a perfect spot, cover, good depth etc. Lots of prints inthe mud though.
Also went over to greenspring in the same area and managed one 8 inch stocked brookie and missed 2 other trout. Also caught three rockbass of all things in that little stream. This is another stream that must have been pounded lately. There are some rather well worn paths through the tall grass and brush. Oh well it was a nice evening to get out. I may head over to Mountain Creek tonight for some little wild brookies.
Great site with great info, thanks.

Sorry to hear about Big Spring.
I fished it late July.. Extremely surprised at the lack of depth in many places.
Managed 3-4 wild rainbows, though.

Can't even begin to get into the damn removals. They held trout. Now hopefully it is leave it alone so the trout don't move lower and taken out.
The "so-called" plan is to see the stream makes a channel and the brook trout come back. That ain't happening with a spring creek. So we will see. Hope someone gets the smarts and starts throwing in some limestone rock, lunker structrues and establishes a stream channel. Otherwise, may be lost!
Probably will stir up a hornets nest with this post. I have seen great stream improvements and bad ones. Heck I will say even the FSTU did some OK ones, but we fixed them ASAP. I did study this at PSU under my Forestry and the PFBC is taking the wrong approach.

I'm a bit more optimistic regarding BS. Friends and I have fished it pretty extensively this summer and the results have, for the most part, been very encouraging - lots of wild brookies in the upper reg water and increasing numbers of wild 'bows throughout the reg water but esp downstream of the old fish barrier site. We have seen many brookies over a foot long and several in the 14-17" range. Rainbows in the 15-20" class are downright common. The return of wild brookies to BS in the last 3 years or so has been wonderful. While I agree that some man made cover would improve this creek, the shallow nature of the stream combined with fine gravel and upwelling springs and current are the reason for the brookie's spawning success. I would describe BS these days as approaching a world class wild brookie fishery - maybe returning to the quality that it was back in the 1960s and earlier. I'm really excited. The stream was electroshocked by the PFBC a couple weeks ago and the results have not been posted on the PFBC website yet but I'm looking forward to seeing the results. Frankly though, I already know what a great stream this has become.

Don't get me wrong, I love the stream the challenge it presents. I am just reporting on some of what I noticed on this evening. I love to fish anywhere that isn't the ditch, just not my cup o' tea. I have been able to find fish and catch fish or at least get a strike just about anywhere below it. Never big numbers but I feel much better when I have to work to outsmart those wiley critters. I moved to this area 3.5 years ago and realized that I am in close proximity to some of the most famous water in PA. The closest I came to fishing limestone water was Litte J. and Spring creek. All other streams I fished were freestone in western and northern PA.

I'm far from an expert on Big Spring, but for a long time now I have fished it every so often when I fished the Cumberland Valley streams. In years past, other than "the ditch", I've found that most of the water below was devoid of any kind of fish.
A few weeks ago I fished it with Dave Weaver (Fishidiot) and was pleasantly surprised that we caught a few nice brookies in the sections below the ditch.
The ditch doesn't hold near the big rainbows as when the hatchery was there, but that's okay by me. The brookies have begun to inhabit the lower sections of BS. While they seem to be invisible, they are there tucked in tight to the cover and weeds. Dave sure knows the way to root them out! Very tough fishing, but very rewarding....that's really the way I like it.
From what I've seen, I too believe that Big Spring is on the mend.

Guys don't get me wrong. Big Springs is dear to my heart. Dad would take me there as a kid so like the Falling Springs, I kinda feel that is another place I learned to fish spring creeks.
I too see increased trout in the stream. Our fears are if they do not create some deeper riffles soon then many of those trout may move out of the catch&release section. We all know what will happen if the get below Nealy Rd. bridge. I have seen two nice wild rainbow taken for the pool just below the bridge.
Is this do some work and then wait for a few years the right move? Don't know only time will tell. I do know the stream won't make its own channel like they anticipated. Spring creeks do not have the flow and gradient to do so. Let all hope and pray. I hope to see and fish the once best stream east of the Mississippi like it was many, many years ago.

I'm unclear what you would like done on the stream, dredge a channel? I agree that given the steady flows of a spring creek, it is unlikely that a high water event will carve out a channel in the stream. But, while the stream is not deep, it has plenty of cover to hold fish.
Mike, I'm far from an expert on creating or improving stream habitat, but if it is possible to improve the stream and bring it back to a more natural state I am all for it. You've lived and fished in the area for a long time, was the stream deeper back in the day?

I can't say for sure just how deep the stream was. I know of others who know more, but I think brook trout liked the shallower waters. The last plan I heard was to remove the two damns and wait and see if the brook trout would restablish themselves in 5-10 years.
There are plans after that if they need to revaluate their first plan and then see if the creatation of deeper channels is needed. This is simply done by bringing in limestone rock and filling in the stream in a precise manner which will create a channel. Can also create twist and turns to make the stream look natural. Look on http://www.ecotoneinc.com/ and see what they have done to spring creeks which were very wide. One was the Falling Springs.

Based on the replies to this stream report, the main question that surfaces in my mind is "What is the most logical battle? To fight for manmade structures in order to keep the fish in the special regulation area from moving downstream, or to fight to extend the special regulations area." I do not have enough knowledge of the history of Big Spring or the politics surounding Pennsylvania's special regulation waters to give a real educated response to that question, but my opinion would be to leave the stream alone and to fight to extend the C&R regulations downstream. Sorry, if this post takes the tread outside the realm of a stream report, but I think these are important issues to address.

See there are certain things that much happen to re-classify a stream. The biomass of insects has to be there as well as trout. So with that said, stream data we have and continue to get looks good to get a reclassification. They are trying to get the PFBC to make the stream catch and release all the way down to the arched bridge!! That is one long sectiopn of stream. As for manmade sturchures. If you look at work done like ecotone the stream looks natural. They use only what would be found in a stream like rock, boulders, fallen trees with the exclusion of say a lunker sturcture wich is hedden by natural grasses.
Again, I told you it was going to be a hornets nest, but that shows you just how many concern anglers we have here. Which is a great thing.

WOW is right. Anyone interested in stream restoration should check out that link.
I agree that the habitat in Big Spring is poor. And that simply removing the old mill dams and expecting that the stream will simply form good habitat on its own is not likely to be successful.
I think they should take a more active approach. And spend the money to hire some very good consultants before doing so.

Shell dwelling cichlids have become more aggressive
I have a 60 cm aquarium. It houses one pair of shell dwelling cichlids (Neolamprologus brevis) and 2 Lamprologus laparogramma. These 2 liked being close together in the beginning, but recently they have become very aggressive towards each other. We have many rocks with holes in them plus plants, but one of the fish always has to retreat to the water surface to be safe. What shall we do? More rocks, or keep the fish separately?
rocks are not the best choice in this case. I recommend plenty of empty snail shells plus bottom ground consisting of fine sand sufficiently thick to allow the fish to dig in the shells. However, it is advisable to keep the fish in a larger aquarium or to separate the species. Due to the high intraspecific and interspecific aggressiveness of lamprologine cichlids (except the unusually peaceful Altolamprologus), the capacity of the small aquarium is quickly consumed even if there are only a few specimens. Some harmonizing N. brevis or a group of N. multifasciatus are OK in a 60 cm tank - but a sufficient number of snail shells (edible snails are well suited; Neothauma shells are difficult to get) is by all means required. For instance, I cannot even recommend Lamprologus ocellatus for tanks less than 80 cm long - I am referring, however, to a tank for just one species without other cichlids!
The sudden rise of aggression among the L. laparogramma is likely to be related to adolescence and indicates that both fish probably are of the same gender (most likely males).
Background information: Shell dwelling cichlids originate from environments that provide very few resources. Sandy bottom does not provide geologically formed shelters such as rock crevices etc., the fish have taken to retreating into empty snail shells. Furthermore, there is usually rather little food available. They therefore need to defend their occupied territories - and they do so vehemently, even against physically considerably superior fish.
I also do not know whether the Lamprologus are males of females, or if it is a pair. How can I recognize the gender of these fish?
Outside courtship/when caring for the fry this is very difficult, at least if the fish are not fully grown yet. However, considering the experience with other cichlids it should be possible to differentiate the genders of adult fish according to the size and shape of the genital papilla (females have a much larger one, for obvious reasons).
Summary: I recommend to separate the species and by all means provide a sufficient number of snail shells!
Best regards

Argentina prepared to reopen bonds' swap under certain conditions
Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino described the appeal presented on Monday by Argentina against the ruling of New York Judge Thomas Griesa as "very forceful", and pointed out that if the magistrate had proposed to treat hedge funds demands under the terms of the 2010 debt-swap, the Argentine congress might then address the option.
Lorenzino said that he does not rule out a possible third debt exchange for those who did not enter the 2005 and 2010 swaps "if required by the Justice of the United States, but only if it contemplates an offer similar to that of 2010 and if the Argentine Congress passed a law approving it".
The Argentine congress voted a law which clamped any possibility of further negotiations with those bond holders who did not accept any of the swaps.
Lorenzino added that "the solid presentation Argentina filed on Monday in New York underscored the country's sovereignty to dictate its own rules and from that perspective could make a proposal to those bondholders who did not agree to the exchange terms of 2010 but that would be in line with the regulatory background of our country and a thorough Congressional debate".
The minister described Judge Griesa's ruling to pay first the hedge funds as "contrary to common sense and Argentine Law" pointing out that a proposal similar to the 2010 exchange "would be in line with the legal system background of Argentina and congressional sovereignty".
It is crucial that Judge Griesa's ruling is 'suspended' to that Argentina can comply next December 15 with payments to the restructured bond holders as Argentina has been complying regularly since the swaps were agreed".
The ruling Argentina is appealing refers to Judge Griesa latest decision indicating that the hedge-funds must be paid first and that Argentina must deposit by December 15 the funds in an escrow account.
Lorenzino insisted on the 'irrationality' of pretending the 'pari passu' clause is applicable, since this is "the closest thing to an arbitrary and unfair decision". He also revealed that the Argentine writ requests an 'urgent' consideration of the matter so "we expect that in the coming two to three days we have a reply from the Appeals court so that we can address payments as we have been doing".

Jessica Simpson has a theory about why she's been blamed for "jinxing" the Dallas Cowboys: the color pink.
Last year Simpson, 28, was nicknamed "Yoko Romo" by Cowboys fans who believed she's bad luck to boyfriend Tony Romo's football performance. On Thursday night, she told David Letterman that she'll never again wear her pink No.9 jersey to games.
Referring to the "jinx drama", Jessica said: "I really think it's because I was wearing a pink No. 9 jersey and not a blue one."
"If you had been in blue that wouldn't be a problem?" asked Letterman.
"Well so far I've been wearing blue, and they're doing great," Jessica answered. "I'll never wear a pink one again!"
Simpson, who was on the show to promote her new country album Do You Know, additionally made an unintentional double entendre.
"I think Tony always performs well," she said, defending her quarterback beau's football prowess. When the audience gasped at the sexual double meaning, the singer made a surprised expression and laughed.
Letterman retorted, "that's not why I'm here, okay?"

I know it is supposed to be better to have loved and lost, yadda yadda yadda. But the possibility to have loved, lost, and have a second chance is pretty good, too. There's always the possibility that it wouldn't be as good as the first time, but hey, that's why they invented "it's not you, it's me" (two "Seinfield" references in there, got that?).
This adage also applies to inanimate objects, or as most people call it, stuff. There's plenty of stuff I have loved and lost over the years. Some of it I can recall losing; some of the fates remain unknown.
Ah, plastic Fisher Price record player, I know you lived out your days in my cousins' basement, where you probably succumbed to a flood. Smurf big wheel, you were felled by a big rock. Awesome glow-in-the-dark Soundgarden T-shirt, I lent you to my friend Gilbert, but then his mom gave it away to Goodwill. But pink sunglasses I bought in Cleveland, what about you? What gas station bathroom shelf or park bench did I leave you on? Red vinyl pants from my Hot Topic years, where art thou?
As we all know, thanks to the Internet, we never have to not have anything ever again. I could rebuy every childhood toy I ever loved and lost, every book, piece of clothing, every Caboodle or Bedazzler or other words that don't make sense outside of the 80s. I can be an incredibly sentimental person (just ask my basement full of scrunchies and spelling bee trophies), so of course I have taken advantage of a world where nothing is ever really gone.
One target of my nostalgia is the books I read as a kid. The Warren Public Library was the source of many of my formative memories. I still have dreams about that place (and nightmares about the scary suit of armor near the entrance). In the dreams, I scour through sleep-distorted aisles of books in the dream-version of the library looking for the books I used to check out ad nauseum. Even in my dreams, I'm a nerd.
One of my oft-checked-out library books sprung to memory while I was discussing golems with a friend (nerd! nerd!). It was "Encyclopedia of Legendary Creatures," and it had all these really cool watercolors of scary minotaurs and ogres and vampires and stuff. I thought, "Gee, the next time I have to explain the difference between a Golem and a Grendel, this book might come in handy!" I also thought about the hours I would spend curled up in my bedroom / bathtub / backseat of parent's car (I read basically anywhere - let's all say it, nerd!) reading that book, and basically any book the library had about ghosts or UFOs or monsters. I checked out the entire series of the Time-Life Mysteries of the Unexplained over and over until my parents got it for me for Christmas. I lugged around an extremely hefty UFO encyclopedia, the obligatory girl series (Mom said "Sweet Valley High" was too racy), and the Time-Life serial killers series that probably earned me a spot on that supposed FBI list.
So, you can imagine my joy when "Encyclopedia of Legendary Creatures" arrived on my doorstep, bought for 99 cents (plus shipping) online, just as dog-eared and well-read as the one I used to borrow. I pored over the awesome drawings I hadn't seen for well over a decade, just as scary as I remembered, and reread the whole thing (it didn't take as long as when I was 11). As an added surprise, there was a stamp from another library on the back cover, meaning some other nerds, er, kids were probably as thrilled and chilled by the book as I was. I guess everything does come full circle. Soundgarden T-shirt, you're next.

Two Jersey City brothers have pleaded guilty and face five years in prison for their roles in a horrific 2011 street-racing accident that left an innocent bystander dead.
Giancarlo J. Guevara-Cabezas, 21, and Carlos J. Guevara-Cabezas, 26, each pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree aggravated assault and one count of fourth-degree aggravated assault by auto as part of a plea deal.
The brothers, who were initially charged with vehicular homicide and could have faced up to 10 years in prison, are expected to serve five years.
Authorities say that just before 11 p.m. on July 12, 2011 the two brothers were racing south on Kennedy Boulevard at speeds of about 60 miles per hour, well above the posted 25 mph speed limit.
Giancarlo, who was 19 at the time, tried to pass his brother, but the cars collided and Giancarlo's vehicle spun onto the sidewalk, striking two pedestrians, authorities said.
One of the pedestrians, Dipakkumar Ashokbhai Patel, was struck with such force that his body was thrown into the air and slammed into a building, breaking a cast-iron drain pipe on the wall, police said at the time said.
Patel then dropped onto the spikes of a wrought-iron fence and was left hanging upside-down. He later died of his injuries. The other pedestrian suffered a broken leg.
Carlos J. Guevara-Cabezas, represented by Daniel Welsh, and Giancarlo J. Guevara-Cabezas, represented by Jeffrey Garrigan, are scheduled to be sentenced on March 15.

Lets say the Captain of aircraft x has 150 passengers on board and takes 1000 gallons of fuel for the flight. How much extra would be needed if an extra passenger arrived late and made the total number of passengers 151?
The reason I ask is two-fold-
1) is it really economically viable for operators (like Ryanair) to charge £0.99 for a flight? Does the extra cost of fuel outweigh the charge for the journey?
2) On TV shows like Airline (in the UK) late passengers are denied boarding - the reason being that the fueld figures have already been calculated. Would it really make that much difference for (lets say) 170lb?
Thanks in advance

Franklin on APA Panel
Contact A. Todd Franklin, Philosophy
Posted March 13, 2014
Tags Faculty Philosophy Todd Franklin
Professor of Philosophy A. Todd Franklin was a panelist at the Central Division meeting of the American Philosophical Association held February 26-29 in Chicago. The discussion focused on ethical assessments of Abraham Lincoln.
Franklin's paper, "It's Not That Simple," was offered in response to an attempt to characterize Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation as a clear basis for considering Lincoln worthy of moral praise. The paper contextualized the emergence of the Emancipation Proclamation and highlighted the ways in which any moral assessment of Lincoln would be rather complicated.

Heipa Arjakatrina,
If you can lose a 21 year old can you imagine what it would be like taking the Johnson family ( hey Lea) on a day trip to Harajuku by train?
Natto and Katrina's face says it all! Enjoy the Piima and the great rye bread now for the next few months. Oops! you can't have rye bread can you Katrina?
Riisipuuro for you then. bless you all Anitta.
Shopping in Tokyo - Harajuku & Ginza
Loading Map
Noriko & I had an unsettling short period of time when at Tokyo station we had to change platforms. We got straight on the next train but didn't notice that Rina wasn't right behind us. She was caught behind a business man on the stairs and all I had time to do was call out to her and as she ran to the doors, they closed and she was left at Tokyo station. I signaled that we were going one station but she didn't understand what I was saying so decided to stay put, knowing that all she could expect us to do was come back for her. She didn't panic and at first we didn't know whether she would jump on the next train and come one station but she hadn't understood so when she didn't show we went back which was the best all round
However it did show us how careful we had to be at all times to stick together because Rina & I didn't have a mobile in Japan. That was a bit of unnecessary "excitement" for the day - Rina however was as cool as cucumber.
Our first shopping experience was at Harajuku Takeshita-dori. We really would have looked the tourist as we didn't fit the "type" of shoppers that frequent this shopping district. Young people in all sorts of dress! Let the photos tell the story. I probably didn't take as many as I could have but a search of Harajuku Fashion will show you what I mean.
Down a side street we found a quiet little restaurant - their meals from organic foods obtained from Chiba, the next prefecture where Norikos family live. It was so peaceful and the vines growing up the walls plus the buildings we could have been in a European village enjoying lunch.
From here we caught a train back to Tokyo City and began our Ginza shopping experience. the photos will tell the story.
Had to catch a train home in rush hour which was quite an experience
Naoto was at the station to pick us up for dinner at a local Sushi Restaurant which was really enjoyable trying all the different Sushi. Surprised that there were hardly any Nori rolls.
Another day over and lots of memories. Before we came here I had no idea of what there was in Tokyo to see and do but searching the web for these related places will now make a lot more sense.
I am a little behind in my blogging as we were so busy in Tokyo. We had a really good flight arriving in Helsinki yesterday and have spent today quietly with Andrew Kerthy & Zoe. It is cold here getting down to 12 deg while outside today. I am slowly catching up on our last few days with N & N in Tokyo. We had a wonderful time with them. Yet to blog our last two days in Tokyo.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Heipa Arjakatrina,
Am really enjoying your blog, Arja. Am sending our love to A,K&Z. (and to you both!) Looking forward to photos/adventures of Finland.
Fantastic fun reading about your trip. Keeping up with all the blogging I can imagine is going to take a lot of work with how busy your days have been. Would love to hear more...
Hmmm, busy city,traffic, shopping, getting lost, sushi, ....., this is more fun reading about it - not even entertaining the idea of catching trains with kids....(Anu) Sydney's bad enough.... we'll skip Tokyo! I'm glad you remained cool as cuke Katrina. I'm catching up with all these blogs... today is Sunday June 6th, and you're both enjoying Suomi.. must go to your next blog.

Insider: Kentucky vs. Florida Preview
The Florida Gators look to extend their dominance against the Kentucky Wildcats, but will they get caught looking ahead at their next matchup with LSU?
Every week your Florida Gators Insider will be previewing the team?s Saturday matchup. The column format may not be the same next week, as we?re still working out the kinks. Expect the release of Swampland Things, a quick-thoughts recap of Saturday?s game to post on Monday.
On to more pressing matters in The Swamp?
Kentucky Wildcats (1-2, 0-0) at No. 14 Florida Gators (3-0, 2-0 SEC)
Saturday September 21st 12:21 PM EST
Series History: Florida 44-17
The Notebook
News and numbers to know for this weekend?s rivalry game
-The Gators have been champions of the second half. They?ve outscored opponents 50-13 after half and 27-0 in fourth quarter scoring.
-If this weekend against Kentucky is similar to the teams? recent meetings, Florida won?t have to worry about points in the second half. They?ve outscored the Wildcats 94-3 in their last four meetings (via The Associated Press)
-They have been road warriors the past two weeks, but the Gators haven?t had an impressive win at home since beating UAB 39-0 on September 9th 2011. Kentucky rolling into town may be the perfect solution.
-Despite playing out of conference games up to this point, Kentucky?s passing attack under Joker Phillips is no joke. All attempts at comedy aside, the Wildcats lead the SEC in passing and rank 13th in the country.
-Special teams usually play a part in this game. The Gators have blocked six kicks against the Wildcats since 2006, including four blocked punts.
Moral of the story: don?t go to the bathroom when Florida forces a three-and-out, you might miss the turning point in the game. Nobody wants to be in a bathroom full of regret.
Key Storylines
Will The Defense Get Caught Sleeping Early?
For all the talk about this team?s second-half surges, the Gators have yet to hold a lead through the entire first half. The Florida defense has been prone to lapses early, allowing long scoring drives against Texas A&M and Tennessee. As a result, they have allowed their opponent to gain some confidence early on.
In addition, there may be some growing pains adjusting to new personnel. With backups continuing to get major reps in starting roles (LB Antonio Morrison, DL Earl Okine), the Gators will be more prone to first-half miscues.
The Gators can?t afford that against Kentucky?s high-octane passing attack, led by SEC completion leader Maxwell Smith. They need to control the game from the onset so the offense can get comfortable in its first few drives. Allowing Bowling Green to take an early 7-0 lead or Texas A&M to take a 17-7 lead in the second quarter turned those matchups in tougher contests than they had to be.
The only second-half adjustments Coach Muschamp should be making Saturday are which third-stringers will start on the third quarter. That will be up to his unit to keep Smith and Co. in check early.
Matchup of the Week
Wide Receivers vs. Kentucky Secondary
The Florida receiving core has an opportunity to gain some confidence against one of the weaker secondaries in the SEC.
Frankie Hammond Jr. has been the most productive of the bunch, but he?s a home run threat who?s only caught six balls in three games. Tight end Jordan Reed and H-back Trey Burton have been able to give Jeff Driskel some open windows, but the Gators are still searching for another speed threat to emerge.
Auditions for receiver will be taking place on Florida Field this Saturday afternoon. The group is full of passable blockers, but these players came to Gainesville to catch passes.
It?s time to shine. I?m looking at you Quinton Dunbar, Andre Debose and Solomon Patton.
Impact Players
Florida HB Trey Burton
The Gator?s do-it-all wildcat option displayed blazing speed in Knoxville with touchdowns of 14 and 80 yards on the ground. He outran the entire Tennessee defense on that long scamper, which I declared the turning point in the Gator?s rivalry win.
He looks comfortable at running back, but the junior can throw it downfield or catch an out route for a first down. He has been the sparkplug that given this offense a creative boost aside from ?ground and pound? football.
There?s no doubt Burton will contribute in multiple ways against the Wildcats as well.
Gators? OC Brent Pease may want to keep Burton?s role under wraps with LSU looming into two weeks, but the junior?s versatility may be too tasty to pass up.
Kentucky WR La?Rod King
The Wildcats? leading receiver is a 6?4 behemoth and will be relied on to move the chains in the passing game.
King is not a deep threat, averaging only 9.3 yards per catch, but Joker Phillips will call his number early and often in Kentucky's no-huddle offense. He?s one of the Wildcat?s few playmakers that can turn a potential blowout into a competitive bout.
Gators cornerback Marcus Roberson had some trouble with Tennessee?s Justin Harper?s big frame in Knoxville. He?ll have a chance to redeem himself against the SEC?s reception leader.
Totally Unbiased Reason the Gators Will Win
If you haven?t heard, the Gators come into this matchup with Kentucky winning the last 25 meetings. That?s good for the longest current winning streak in the FBS annual series.
For the Wildcats, there?s always basketball season.

4. Blend on high speed until completely liquefied. Serve chilled.
4 Responses to "Papaya Milk"
Oooh, like a smoothie! A great use for not-perfect fruit.
Hi Carolyn- Yes it's like a smoothie! I drink it often. My mom read some article that it supposed to give you great skin and some other benefits. I haven't noticed it doing anything for me, but I love how it tastes.

The vision of 1eighty Ministries is to help people locally who are "down and out" make a 180 degree turn in their lives and get back on track.

We are here to throw life lines, and we ask nothing in return. We plant the seed, water it, and watch God make it grow! "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:17-18 1eighty Ministries is a non-profit organization. We are run by a group of independent business men and pastors who simply have a heart to show the love of Jesus to those in need. Monetary donations given to 1eighty Ministries are used to assist people in feeding, nutrition, clothing, furniture, and other basic needs. Staff members primarily raise their own support, so you can be sure that any donation from you will be used for the direct benefit of people whom it is intended.

My only experience is knowing Jamie professionally If he believes this is a positive experience for him and his associates then so be it. Jamie is a man of high integrity and cares for his fellow man. I have been asked to donate a dryer and or washer and when i tried someone else had already beaten me to it. 1eighty is an appropriate name turn around and walk in the light of the lord and for those that may question is authenticity or it vision or it's validity then stop be quiet and watch the power of a true man whom wants to help those and bring them to the lord and into his service. If you're in a difficult place right now, I invite you to join this online community Come be encouraged by testimonies of God's restoration and favor! Father God, thank You for being a restorer and a rewarder of the people who seek You. I trust that you are working behind the scenes in mine and others life, ready to bring your restoration. In Jesus' Name. Amen. I would like to take this time also to state this prayer came from Joel Osteen yet very appropriate so i thought that i would share. Reason being is i am just not that persuasive in my life as of yet to bring people to the lord but i know a couple right Jamie....LOL be good to one another and act christ like if you need help HOLLER I am here for you but give god the glory

Additional Resources
If you would like to speak with a Wellness Educator/Counselor about self-esteem, please call (603) 862-3823 or make an appointment online.
Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself.
People with high self-esteem:
- Feel good about themselves, most of the time.
- Respect themselves.
- Take responsibility for their feelings, thoughts and actions.
- Tend to think of mistakes or problems as chance to grow and change.
- Have a positive attitude.
- Show good judgment.
- Demonstrate good problem-solving skills.
- Maintain healthy, close relationships.
- Have confidence in new situations.
- Try new things with courage and zest.
- Are trustworthy.
- Are self-motivated.
- Are open to feedback.
- Aren't afraid to seek goals that may be challenging.
People with low self-esteem:
- Don't believe in themselves.
- Often seek approval from others.
- Participate in things at others requests.
- View mistakes or problems as personal failures and internalize these failures as a reflection of their selves.
- Have a negative attitude.
- Have poor judgment.
- Possess poor problem-solving skills.
- Have unhappy relationships.
- Are nervous in new situations.
- Don't stand up for themselves, their values or beliefs.
- Let other people take advantage of them.
- Have difficulty saying "no."
- Tend to be self critical of their body, behavior and life.
Low self-esteem can lead to:
- Excessive worry
- Depression
- Alcohol, tobacco, or other drug use/abuse
- Eating concerns
- Suicide
- Poor body image
- Unhealthy relationships
- Making unhealthy sexual health decisions
- Anger and agressive behavior
Who and what influences our self-esteem?
- Family members
- Friends
- Teachers, coaches, caregivers
- The media
- Strangers
- Experiences
From the moment of birth, our self-esteem begins to take shape by what others think about us and how we are treated. Family members and caregivers are powerful influences on shaping our early self-esteem. As children, we didn't have the ability to critique messages or form our own opinions of ourselves. We saw ourselves through the eyes of others.
If we were treated positively, valued and nurtured as children, chances are we have high self-esteem.
If we were neglected, given negative messages, such as being told we were "stupid" or "bad," chances are we have lower self-esteem.
Though childhood provides the foundation for our self-esteem, it is hoped as we get older and gain a sense of self that external influences have less impact on our self-esteem.
How can I change my self-esteem?
- Let go of negative messages we received as children
- Notice and stop negative self talk
Don't call yourself, "dumb," "fat," "ugly," "weak," "a failure," "an idiot"
- Notice the things you like about yourself
- You can work to change the things you don't like about yourself
- There is no such thing as being perfect, so let go of that idea
- Take responsibility for your actions
- Think openly and critically about feedback from others
- Don't base your self-worth on messages from the media
- Raising self-esteem takes time, patience and hard work. It's not easy, but it can be done!
- Develop a sense of who you are as an individual.
- Surround yourself with people who care and support you for who you are

Bubble-bursting Huskers beat Hawkeyes
Now this is how a rivalry starts.
From the moment Nebraska joined the Big Ten, a rivalry between the Huskers and Iowa seemed like a natural fit. But real rivalries need an inciting incident.
Saturday's game at the Devaney Center might do the trick.
In front of a crowd that was approximately one-third Iowa fans hoping to see the Hawkeyes improve their tournament resume, Nebraska (13-14, 4-10) rallied from a 19-point first half deficit to beat Iowa 64-60. Dylan Talley delivered the fatal blow with 9 seconds remaining, drilling a 3-pointer from 25-feet out with the shot clock expiring to give Nebraska the win.
While coach Tim Miles was hesitant to call it a program-defining win, he was willing to admit this: ""It is something we wouldn't have done before Christmas."
Iowa (17-10, 6-8) played like a team with its postseason hopes on the line early in Saturday's game. Former South Sioux City High star Mike Gesell, running the point for the Hawkeyes on the floor where he won a pair of state titles, hit a pair of jumpers early to quiet a hostile crowd. Iowa built from there.
Two disastrous stretches appeared to have doomed Nebraska in the first half. The first started with 8:11 remaining and the Huskers down 19-13. Nebraska's next six possessions went like this: Benny Parker missed two free throws, Ray Gallegos missed a 3, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover. The Hawkeyes extended their lead to 13.
The second came after Nebraska had trimmed the Iowa lead to 10 with 2:16 left. Iowa guard Eric May hit a 3-pointer followed by back-to-back 3s from Roy Devyn Marble to give Iowa it's biggest lead of the game at 41-22. A three-point play by the Huskers' Shavon Shields salvaged at least some momentum from a decidedly lackluster first half.
"Coach came in at halftime, erased everything on the board that we had written as keys for the second half and said 'none of it matters unless you play with energy,'" forward Brandon Ubel said.
Message sent. Nebraska outscored Iowa 25-11 over the first 12 minutes of the second half to make it a one possession game at 53-30 with 7:19 left. Just short of five minutes later, a nifty step-back jumper from Shields gave Nebraska its first lead, 58-57, since going up 2-0 less than a minute into the game. Shields scored 11 of his 17 points over the final 20 minutes, but that was just a prelude to Talley's heroics.
The senior guard put the Huskers on his back, scoring 16 of his game-high 18 points in the second half. After shooting just 1-for-7 over the first 20 minutes, Talley finished the game by going 7-for-11 from the field. Nebraska needed every one of them.
With the game tied at 60, Talley missed a jumper with 1:29 left but Ubel stepped up to rescue the Huskers, taking a charge from Marble with 45 seconds left. Nebraska again looked to Talley but Iowa sprung a trap on him just over the half court line, forcing Miles to use Nebraska's last timeout with 20 seconds remaining and 11 seconds left on the shot clock. Miles drew up a play for Talley. It wasn't the play that ended up winning the game.
The Hawkeyes forced Nebraska to inbound the ball in the back court, switching each Nebraska screen. Talley was left with no option but to take it himself. He crossed over, pulled up from about 25-feet out and stuck the shot.
"First of all they did a good job staying in screening options, and sometimes when teams do that to us we just shut down," Miles said of the sequence. "So Dylan made a play. I'm thankful he did."
"It wasn't that difficult of a shot, but it might not have been the best shot," Talley said after the game. "I get yelled at sometimes in practice for crossover 3-point shots, but the clock was winding down and I had to do it."
Iowa had a chance to tie when Gesell got an open look from three with just under five seconds left, but the shot rimmed out. The former Nebraska prep star was held to just two points over the game's final 36 minutes. A Gallegos free throw with two seconds remaining sealed the win for Nebraska. It was the Huskers third-largest comeback since the 1996-97 season.
Perhaps most surprisingly, Nebraska did it without subbing in the second half. The Huskers' five starters played all 20 minutes.
"I made a conscious effort that we were going to play those five," Miles said. "I felt like we gave everybody a chance in the first half, but we couldn't get them under control. So when we thought those were our five solid most dependable guys and that is who we played."
The result was zero bench points for Nebraska, but four of the five starters ended up scoring in double figures. In addition to Talley and Shields, Ubel added 12 points and Gallegos netted 11. Iowa was led by Marble's 18 points and a double-double from Aaron White (15 points, 13 rebounds).
Nebraska next travels to Madison to take on Wisconsin on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. The game will be televised by the Big Ten Network.
Nebraska improved to 5-0 this season in games decided by five points or less … The win was the Huskers first over Iowa in the Devaney Center. Nebraska was 0-2 at home against the Hawkeyes previously … Talley's game-winner was the second of his career. He also hit a shot to win in the final seconds against Florida Gulf Coast in December of 2010 … Shields reached double-figures in scoring for the sixth time this season. Five of those games have come in Big Ten play.[nggallery id=40]

The British Government has defied Washington by backing BP's legal battle to overturn a ban on winning new federal contracts in America after the oil spill on Gulf of Mexico.
The unexpected move — the first time that the UK Government has directly intervened to support the British oil major since the Deepwater Horizon disaster in April 2010 — is a significant boost in the company's row with the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Dana Holgorsen Slams Red Bull, Headset
September 28th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen had a little extra fire in his belly during Saturday's game against No. 11 Oklahoma State coming off a 37-0 loss to Maryland last week – with a little help from Red Bull.
Holgorsen was seen slamming the energy drink on the Mountaineers' sideline during a game in which he came unhinged at several points, dropping f-bombs on referees and destroying his headset after throwing it to the ground.
It apparently worked, as WVU pulled off a huge 30-21 upset despite being huge underdogs.
Maybe a highly-caffeinated and raging Holgorsen is just what West Virginia needed after last week's embarrassment.

text: September 19, 2013 The Mepkin Plantation was originally deeded to Lord Proprietor John Colleton who later sold it to Henry Laurens, a merchant and slave trader. The property stayed in the Laurens family until it was sold to Time and Life founder Henry Luce. He and his wife Clare Boothe Luce, a playwright, ambassador and congresswoman, donated most of the property to The Cistercian Trappist order of monks after she converted to Catholicism. The Cistercian Trappist order of monks began at a Normandy monastery in 1664. They are a silent order that sold eggs and dairy to make money for a number of years until they switched to selling mushrooms following protests by PETA.
