This seems strange to me. I'm sure everyone else already knew it.
From merriam-webster online
Main Entry: 4fallow
Function: adjective
Date: 15th century
1 : left untilled or unsown after plowing
2 : DORMANT, INACTIVE -- used especially in the phrase to lie fallow <at this very moment there are probably important inventions lying fallow>
I'm familiar with this definition. Here's the one that surprised me:
Main Entry: 3fallow
Function: transitive verb
Date: 15th century
: to plow, harrow, and break up (land) without seeding to destroy weeds and conserve soil moisture
It seems not contradictory, but also inconsonant.
After one fallows the ground it is no longer fallow.
Comments anyone?

>After one fallows the ground it is no longer fallow.
not so; after one fallows the ground, one by definition lets it lie fallow.
left... unsown after plowing
to plow... without seeding

I guess I'm a little confused about the part of the definition that goes "left untilled or..."

If we take this through the term till:
To prepare (land) for the raising of crops, as by plowing and harrowing;
it does seem a little inconsonant, but, if we go on in the defintion past that semicolon and see
perhaps it's not so inconsonant after all. Leave out that critical step of planting the seed and you haven't done much of a job of cultivating.

A couple hundred years ago, raising crops depleted plant nutrients. So a crop of grain might be followed by a year
of legumes which restored some of the nitrogen, but not enough to immediately plant grain. So a year of growin only grass might accumulate enough nitrogen from rains to permit
growing grain again. And part of the nutrients in the weeds would have been returned to the soil.

jewish law required field to have a 'sabbath' just as man did, you could plant a field 6 years out of 7, on the seventh year, it had a 'sabbatical'-- and was given a rest.
sabbaticals were required for other things too...like cows, and goats, and sheep the were used for milk and for edible young.
cows need to 'freshen' to give milk --(ie, they have to bear a calf every 2 year or so)-- after 6 calfs-- a cow had to be 'given a rest'-- and allowed to go a year with out having a calf. (which is really almost impossible, since few cows would live to be 15 or 16 years old (2 years before first calving, and 6 calved (each takes 9 months, just like a human) and 2 years of giving milk...
but it might have been applied to sheep (sheep milk is also collected for cheese and consuption) and goats...
How long do sheep live in captivity Dr Bill (or Capfka?) i love how sheep look, but really know very little about them (compared to cows--and i only know a smidgeon about cows..)_________________________

Dear of troy: I had five kids in 4H because my wife had not been allowed to have any animals when she was a kid. I got to pay for the feed and build things, and the shovelling out, but I didn't keep the records.

k, AHD (via Gurunet) might help:
fal·low (făl'ō)
1. Plowed but left unseeded during a growing season: fallow farmland.
2. Characterized by inactivity: a fallow gold market.
1. Land left unseeded during a growing season.
2. The act of plowing land and leaving it unseeded.
3. The condition or period of being unseeded.
tr.v., -lowed, -low·ing, -lows.
1. To plow (land) without seeding it afterward.
2. To plow and till (land), especially to eradicate or reduce weeds.
[Middle English falow, from Old English fealh, fallow land.]
Now--is that OE word fealh related to fealty?

Nope. Fealty is from Old French and, ultimately, Latin fides, faith.

Horner explained that what scientists are pinning as global warming is simply another cyclical shift of the world's climate. I have listed some of his more memorable quotes below. Enjoy.
"Cooling happens after warming, and warming happens after cooling," said Horner. "Al Gore, in his infinite wisdom, said that the world has a fever. Who decided what the normal temperature of the Earth is? How did they take the globe's temperature anyway? Plain and simple, climate has always changed. That's what climate does."
"Cap-and-trade legislation will not work," said Horner. "A rationing scheme will be costly and will prohibit growth in this country. This grand gesture by the United States will just be a tragic reaction to something in our history. At the end of the day, it's just a well-crafted scheme to raise the cost of energy."
"In all reality, it's the sun that is causing climate change, not us. Who is going to tax the sun?" asked Horner. "What fun is that? What will the temperature be after we legislate cap-and-trade? It will be the same as it would be, no matter what. Don't cap our future."
As always, leave your thoughts in the comments section below. I believe this is a topic worth discussing, and I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Woman accused of assaulting nurse
BARRE A woman is facing a felony assault charge that alleges she slammed a nurses hand in a door at Central Vermont Medical Center, breaking her finger.
Kate E. Nicholson, 31, of Rochester, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Washington County criminal court to aggravated felony assault on a health care worker causing serious bodily injury. If convicted, she faces a maximum of 16 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to the police affidavit, Vicki Mednick, 60, a nurse at the medical center, approached a Berlin police officer Oct. 21, asking to speak with him. Mednick told police an incident had occurred on the psychiatry floor where she was caring for Nicholson. Mednick told police she opened her door to give Nicholson her medication and that Nicholson slammed the door on her hand.
Mednick said Nicholson was not happy with the meal she was served the night of the incident and had become agitated.
Police said that when they spoke with Nicholson, she confirmed that she was not happy with her meal and had gone back to her room, asking Mednick to leave her alone. Nicholson told police Mednick followed her back to her room and that she told Mednick to stay out of her room. She told police the door was open only an inch or so and that she was shocked to hear Mednick yelling that Nicholson had just assaulted her after shutting the door.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Area law enforcement officials arrested eight people in a series of raids late this week, including a Portales man for the second time in less than a month.
Armando Ontiveros, 38, was charged Friday with disposal of stolen property. Portales police officers and Roosevelt County Sheriff's Department deputies arrested Ontiveros on Friday morning.
Ontiveros was also arrested on March 15 and charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, a third-degree felony, and with possession of drug equipment on a raid on his residence at 452 S. Roosevelt Road T.
According to the New Mexico Courts Web site, Ontiveros was released on bond on March 17.
"The burglary came up since then," Portales Police Capt. Lonnie Berry said. "We did recover a substantial amount of stolen property."
Berry said possession of stolen property charges (a felony) are pending.
Berry said the items recovered were building materials: a welder, rolls of carpet remnants, siding, wall heaters, air compressors, tools and ceramic tile. He said the raid was conducted at 6 a.m. and by Friday afternoon police officers were still removing items from three houses located on the property.
"In one house alone we recovered more than $1,500 worth of property," Berry said. "I've been happy (with the results of the raids). We know that narcotics and stolen property are related."
During Friday's raid, Berry said police officers also arrested another individual on misdemeanor charges, but added felony charges could be filed on the individual.
According to a Roosevelt County Detention Center official, Ontiveros has a $1,500 cash-only bond and was still being held in jail as of Friday afternoon. Family members could not be reached for comment on Friday afternoon.
On Thursday, police officers and deputies arrested six people during drug raids. The drug raids took place after 5 p.m. and, according to Berry, police officers recovered 3.2 grams of methamphetamines, 1.2 grams of powder cocaine, 3.1 grams of crack cocaine and 15 grams of marijuana.
At a residence in the 600 block of Avenue E, Jeremy Roy was arrested and his children, ages 3 and 1, were placed in the custody of Children Youth and Families Department officials, according to Berry.
Jeremy Roy, 27, faces one count of possession of methamphetamines and two counts of drug paraphernalia, according to the criminal complaint. Kriston Roy, 20, faces one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of possession of marijuana.
Also arrested at that residence were four other individuals on misdemeanor counts, according to court documents.
During another raid at a different home, a woman was arrested on misdemeanor charges.
The six individuals arrested and their family members could not be reached for comment on Friday afternoon. By Friday afternoon all of them except for one person had bonded out.
Berry said deputies, police officers and probation officers began putting together the joint-operation at the start of the week.

Tomah police arrested two men in connection to a non-fatal heroin overdose at a home on the 800 block of Cedar Lane on January 1.
Police say while they were executing a search warrant, Donald Frantzen, 33, returned home and attempted to throw away a baggie containing 10 grams of heroin. Frantzen bought the heroin in the Chicago area to sell in Tomah, according to police.
Frantzen was booked at the Monroe County Jail for charges related to trafficking in heroin and bail jumping. He remains in jail on a $10,000 cash bond.
Police also arrested Shelton Hughes, 22, in connection to the drug investigation. He was booked at the Monroe County Jail for bail jumping. Hughes posted his $1,000 cash bond Monday night.
Both men are scheduled to appear in court on January 14. Tomah police say more arrests and charges are likely in this investigation.

School Age Child Care Program
SACC provides fun, safe and educational care for children in kindergarten - sixth grade before school, after school and during school vacations in most Fairfax County elementary schools.
The SACC program serves children five days a week, Mondays - Fridays. SACC does not provide drop-in, short-term, or partial-week service.
Spotlight on SACC Centers
Children at Clermont SACC enjoy designing and creating. Several children made their own outfits including hats, scarfs, skirts and ponchos for a center festival while other children used their talents to build and decorate bird houses.
Children at Annandale Terrace SACC worked together to write Finding Nema, a play about what happened to the characters of Finding Nemo two generations later. Are humans still polluting our ocean? This original play digs deeper into the wonders of nature with comedy, touching moments, and dancing! The children learned how to create a character for a play, act on stage, and learned steps to hip hop choreography. Merging nature with the performing arts turned out to be a fun and enriching experience for both the children and their families.
Children at Forestville SACC made 105 tissue paper flowers in honor of a young girl diagnosed with cancer. As part of their community service outreach, the flowers were donated to a local hospital to bring cheer to children and their families.
At Union Mill SACC children have the opportunity to connect with real animals and learn how to care for them. Union Mill SACC adopted 2 rabbits (one from the Fairfax County Animal Shelter and one from a family in the community), and a hamster all of which joined the animals already in their Nature Center including a hamster, a frog, 4 fish and a snail. The children really enjoy including the rabbits when they play board games. The children and families have also enjoyed the weekend program which gives families the opportunity to take the animals home for the weekend.

Illinois launching recognition program for energy efficient 'Green Ribbon' schools
State Board of Education accepting nominations from schools taking comprehensive approach to environmental education and management
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has launched the first Illinois Green Ribbon Schools awards program, recognizing schools that are leading the way to promote sustainability and environmental education. Illinois joins 32 other states participating in the pilot federal Green Ribbon Schools award program to commend the most green and healthy schools in the nation. ISBE will accept applications from schools that have integrated best practices in energy, water and waste management, healthy school environments and environmental education. The state may advance four schools to the national competition.
"We're encouraged to see the federal government recognize the good work and collaboration of Illinois schools to protect the environment and be an example for students," Governor Pat Quinn said. "The collaboration of our state agencies, in this case, the Illinois EPA, DNR, the State Board and others, is a key part of our overall strategy to continue expanding the role of sustainability in Illinois."
Illinois is among 33 states, the District of Columbia and the Bureau of Indian Education that will nominate schools to the U.S. Department of Education for the new award. Applications are due to ISBE by Feb. 12, 2012, and nominations should reflect the U.S. Department of Education's Green Ribbon Schools' three pillars: reduced environmental impact, improved health and environmental literacy. Illinois nominees will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Education by March 22. The Department will announce winners in April.
"Environmentally efficient and healthy schools are critical to our state's wellness and fiscal future," said State Board of Education Chairman Gery J. Chico. "We encourage all schools in Illinois that have taken a comprehensive approach to environmental education and management to nominate schools to this recognition program and inspire a new generation of great thinkers to work toward greater sustainability."
In addition to Illinois, the District of Columbia and the Bureau of Indian Education, the participating states are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
"We are thrilled to participate in the Green Ribbon Schools award program as it promises to showcase schools that are doing their part to improve energy efficiency and create healthy environments for students and staff," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "This kind of recognition program not only serves to inspire other schools to move toward greater sustainability but helps prepare a generation of students to think environmentally and prepare for careers in the 21st century."
Each state may submit up to four nominees from public or private schools serving any configuration of K-12 grades, to the U.S. Department of Education. If a state nominates more than one public school, at least one must be a school with at least 40 percent of students eligible for free and reduced-price school meals.Applications for nominating Illinois schools can be found on the Illinois Green Ribbon Schools page at http://www.isbe.net/green_ribbon. Illinois will announce its nominees in March. Following the U.S. Department of Education's announcement of winners in April 2012, there will be an award ceremony in Washington, D.C., in late May 2012. The national ceremony will be followed by local ceremonies at each of the winning schools in fall 2012. For more information about the federal Green Ribbon Schools program, visit http://www2.ed.gov/programs/green-ribbon-schools/index.html.

I have some strong words for the iriver E100 and to sum up my review in two blunt words: epic fail. By any other means it would have been just a mediocre MP3 player, but I use these harsh words because I expect much more from iriver.
It seems they realized their mistake to cheap out on the E100 and are revamping the player with an aluminum case and a better LCD screen. Additionally, they are getting rid of the external speakers- this being good news since they may make for a slimmer design and really the speakers were pretty weak by standards to begin with. So all in all it should be a very nice upgrade to be released sometime at the end of summer.

Sterling Endura III™ Waterbed PVC
Sterling Endura III™ waterbed PVC was developed exclusively for Sterling Sleep Systems to meet all recognized performance and health standards established for waterbed vinyl in the US and in the European Community. We certify that Endura III contains less than 75ppm cadmium and meets all recognized limitations regarding heavy metal content.
In manufacturing, and particularly when manufacturing waterbeds, material quality governs product excellence. No matter how skilled the fabricator a waterbed can be no better than the material it is made from. Endura III is formulated with the finest resins and plasticizers available for the application. We engineered Endura III to be the best piece of material possible.
Endura III™ significantly exceeds the California Bureau of home furnishings performance standards. A key indicator of material excellence is low temperature performance "cold crack test" results. Over the last 20 years we learned that low temperature performance is an important indicator of overall material formulation stability, not just a measure of how well the product will survive shipping during winter months. The California Bureau of Home Furnishings standards required waterbed material to pass a –20 F test, we engineered Endura III to exceed –35 degree F. We are not aware of any other waterbed material that equals this standard currently.
We won't share the specifics of the Endura III vinyl formulation, however we will tell you, you can't buy better material for making a durable, long lasting, quality waterbed.

PITTSBURGH, PA (April 20, 2011) – The Allegheny County Airport Authority's role as an economic generator is two-fold: to provide high quality, competitive air service in and out of southwestern PA and to develop key properties which attract new industry and jobs. The Airport Authority recently released the results of a study of future property development opportunities at Pittsburgh International Airport.
The project presents a visual and quantified description of land uses and development capacity surrounding the airport.
"The Master Plan will help us direct the growth of the property surrounding Pittsburgh International Airport. It's a comprehensive document that we can share with potential tenants to show them why this is a desirable location for development," said Glenn R. Mahone, Chairman, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
Development interest for the land surrounding Pittsburgh International Airport is substantial and continues to rise. Significant investment and development has occurred at Clinton Commerce Park, Cherrington Commerce Center, and Airside Business Park. One anchor tenant, Dick's Sporting Goods, located their World Headquarters facility and private hangar adjacent to Pittsburgh International Airport's northernmost runway.
"Shovel ready sites have been a high priority for Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato. The master plan is a significant example of desirable airport-related development. These projects illustrate considerable development interest around Pittsburgh International Airport and they are assets to be leveraged and complimented by land uses outlined in this Development Master Plan update," said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
The study includes an analysis of slopes, potential wet areas, natural corridors, existing development, and roads, which resulted in a preliminary buildable development area. Potential land uses were defined on a plot by plot basis, with the input and oversight of Findlay and Moon Township representatives. Potential uses for the land include the following: Airport Related; Light Industrial/Warehouse /Distribution; Technology/Flex/R & D; Office; and Hospitality. Commercial/retail uses were also considered for sites as a supporting use for primary development needs.
The Airport Authority commissioned the study which was conducted by IDC Architects. Similar studies were conducted in 2003 and 2004. The 2010 Development Master Plan serves as an update to portions of the 2003 and 2004 reports. The 2010 plan accounts for new development on the airport, and also incorporates accurate mapping, data, and property boundary information.
Several stakeholders contributed their insight and ideas to help mold the Development Master Plan, including representatives from Moon and Findlay Townships and regional leaders from the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, Allegheny County Economic Development, the Governors Action Team, the Economy League of Southwestern Pennsylvania and the Airport Area Chamber of Commerce.
The complete Development Master Plan is available here.

Stock Futures Eye Rebound on ECB Stimulus, U.S. Data
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were driven higher Thursday by reassuring U.S. economic numbers and the European Central Bank's commitment to economic stimulus.
The European Central Bank, as expected, cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a record low 0.5%, after holding the rate at 0.75% since July 2012.
"Our monetary policy stance will remain accommodative for as long as is needed," Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said at a press briefing.
Outplacement firm Challenger, Grey & Christmas reported early Thursday that job cuts plunged to a four-month low of 38,121 in April as the economic slowdown that began late in the third quarter has yet to result in increased downsizing.
The Labor Department reported Thursday that initial jobless claims fell 18,000 to 324,000 in the week ended April 27. The four-week moving average on initial claims also fell, down 16,000 from the previous week. On average, economists expected weekly claims to rise to 345,000 last week.
The Census Bureau said that the U.S. trade deficit shrank to $38.8 billion in March from $43.6 billion in February, compared with expectations of a reduction to $42 billion.
Futures for the S&P 500 were rising 9.5 points, or 9.15 points above fair value, to 1,586.75. Stocks closed near session lows on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve policymakers said U.S. unemployment remains "elevated" and that "fiscal policy is restraining economic growth," adding that they are prepared to increase or reduce asset purchases as needed.

On Thursday morning, the FDA was convening an independent advisory panel to dissect data on tivozanib, Aveo Oncology's
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were gaining 85 points, or 84.05 points above fair value, to 14,721.. Futures for the Nasdaq were advancing 19.75 points, or 17.05 points above fair value, to 2,883.25.
In other U.S. economic releases, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said that nonfarm business labor productivity rose 0.7% in the first quarter vs. expectations of a 1.2% increase after falling by a upwardly-revised 1.7% in the fourth quarter. The agency said that unit labor costs rose 0.5% compared with expectations of a 0.7% rise after increasing by a downwardly-revised 4.4%.

- Abstract
- Deep Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera (WFC-1) imaging of a region 3farcm7 east of the V = 13 mag Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548 in the F555W and F785LP bands, and deep ground-based V and I imaging, show a new extended, blue, low surface brightness structure, apparently a remnant of a tidal interaction associated with NGC 5548. If this straight, low surface brightness (V ∼ 27–28 mag arcsec-2) tidal tail is associated with NGC 5548, it extends at least 80 kpc from it and has an absolute magnitude of MV approx -16.4 (H0 = 65 km s-1 Mpc-1). Previous imaging surveys of Seyfert galaxies would have missed such low surface brightness tails. Morphologically similar to some brighter tails seen in other interacting systems and in simulations of merging galaxies, this faint tail is a useful diagnostic of an earlier interaction and of the progenitors' halo-to-disk mass ratios. Luminous ripples and a brighter tail wrapped around the galaxy are seen in the inner 1–10 kpc region. Unresolved blue objects in the long tail have the colors and absolute magnitudes of young globular clusters. Taken together, the two tails and other features suggest that two spirals merged less than approx1 Gyr ago. The inner luminosity profile of NGC 5548 is a good fit to a de Vaucouleurs profile with reff = 5.8 kpc. Recent simulations of merged galaxies with high-mass halos fail to form lasting tidal tails, suggesting that the NGC 5548 progenitor spirals had modest halo masses.

Truth or dare leads to arsonApril 08,2014Police: Dare led
to arson charge
A Fair Haven Union High School student playing truth or dare took the game too far, according to police who say he set a trash bin in one of the schools bathrooms on fire.
Jordan Chadburn, 16, of Fair Haven, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court Monday to misdemeanor criminal charges of arson in the fourth degree and reckless endangerment.
Chadburn, who appeared in court on a citation, remains free on court-ordered conditions that include he stay away from the high school and that he not possess a lighter.
Fair Haven Police say Chadburn was arrested after a fire in a boys bathroom near the cafeteria Feb. 2. Video footage at the school showed the teenager entering the bathroom multiple times shortly after 2 p.m. that day. Flaming papers in a trash can were discovered in the bathroom shortly after by a school resource officer.
In interviews with several other students, police say they learned that Chadburn had been playing the game truth or dare minutes before the fire started and that he had been dared to light a piece of paper on fire in the boys bathroom.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

A Waterbury man whose car was towed following his DUI arrest was arrested again on charges he stole his car back.
Jermel Pierre Johnson, 32, was first arrested at about 10 p.m. Saturday in Farmington on charges of DUI, possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and failure to drive right.
Johnson's car was towed, and he was released from custody.
According to police, Johnson then walked about four miles to Farmington Motor Sports, where his car had been towed, entered the building through an unlocked window, got in his car and drove home.
When staff at Farmington Motor Sports arrived on Sunday, they realized the car was missing.
They called police, who went to Johnson's home and found the car parked out front.
"He admitted it," Farmington police Lt. Colin Ryan said. "He said 'I wanted my car.'"
Johnson was arrested again and charged with third-degree burglary, sixth-degree larceny and driving while under license suspension.
He is due in court on Nov. 5.

Complete Game Loss
Roy Halladay did his usual yesterday against the Pirates. He pitched a complete game, however, the Phillies offense gave him no support and he lost the game despite the effort which included 132 pitches. With the misty cold weather and the Flyers playoff game going on next door, the entire stadium was dead. The Phillies offense followed suit and played like they were asleep in this 1-2 loss.
So the most exciting thing that happened all night besides Halladay's 9 inning, 2-run game was watching actor and Delaware native, Ryan Phillippe, attempt to throw the ceremonial first pitch. He drilled it into the ground nowhere near the plate. I will post photos of that later. For now, here is a quick shot of Phillippe and Halladay:
So while the Phillies batters collected just 6 hits, three of which were from Ryan Howard, and just 1 run, the defense behind Halladay looked sleepy as well. Placido Polanco and Juan Castro made back-to-back errors in the 5th inning, extending Halladay's work load. Then in the 6th inning, Jayson Werth made a great throw home to catch Lastings Milledge trying to score. He would have been out by a mile, and it looked like he was, until the ball flew off into the grass. Carlos Ruiz was so busy making the tag, he forgot to catch the ball first:
Milledge did his job by plowing into Ruiz to break up the play. Earlier in the game, Werth had the chance to do the same when the 3rd base coach sent him home after a Castro single. He probably should not have been sent as the throw beat him there, but instead of sliding and trying to knock the ball out of the catcher's glove, Werth, quite politely, walked slowly into the tag. The Phillies failure to score there combined with the dropped ball by Ruiz turned out to be the difference in the game.
Here are a few other plays from the game…check out the shot of Polanco with both legs levitating off the ground…weird:
So this game was a huge waste of a great performance from Halladay and on his bobblehead giveaway night, too. Sad. The good news is, I got my bobblehead and stayed mostly dry, which is what I had wished for before the game. Perhaps I should have also wished for some offense? Oh well…next time.
Here is the full Photo Album from the game.
Jamie Moyer will pitch later tonight as the Cubs come into town for another short 2-game series. Game time is 7:05pm.

I'm sorry, Peter, but losing to the Bucs with Doc on the mound? In short, that… cannot… happen. The Bucs, dude! They beat Doc! Nothing makes sense anymore!
i was just as shocked as anybody that Duke outdueled Halladay. great game from my standpoint. i love low scoring games (that we win) especially after the 12 run slugfest from the night before. im pumped for the rubber match!
I know this sounds weird, but it's refreshing to see a complete game loss. Just think Harvey Haddix. It's just refreshing to see complete games. Roy-lladay is a nice throw back! I am surprised they let him throw 130 pitches in the rain…heaven forbid.

I would think 180 grams of carbs would provide enough energy. I don't know about the protein intake though -- seems very low? Abs look great though. Good job.
I've been eating Oats 3x ED. Started off @ 1/2 cup (40grams) which gives 150cals, 27carbs, 5g protein, 4g Fiber.
then after going from 247lbs to 230lbs i upped it to 50grams...
only at 229lbs but sooo weak.. so now i'm doing 60grams 3x ED.. which is barely shit.. still.. but i'm hoping it makes me feel a little better.. sleepy and tired as fuck with no calories and carbs in my system..
when this Tren E kicks in (200mg E3D), i'll be shedding some more. I have a pic i took yesterday. Maybe it'll win me some applause.
I would think 180 grams of carbs would provide enough energy. I don't know about the protein intake though -- seems very low? Abs look great though. Good job.
Yeah what's up with the rest of the diet.
.. looking good !!
450 calories? No wonder you're tired and weak. That's not enough to fuel your body through the day, and that's just laying down watching tv shitting and pissing yourself.
Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips
I would lower your cals
what kind of oatmeal was it?
You can upgrade to some steel cut oats now.
I like lentils made with some beef boulion for a nice medium anytime carb.
You're surprisingly not fat!
Eat protein and fats during the day so you're not spiking your insulin. Insulin makes you sleepy.
Eat all your daily carb allowance at night - you'll sleep better. Rice or sweep potatoes are a better option but your call.
Thank me later
TheCaptn' is not a registered proctologist. His post are for his amusement only. Please seek proper medical advice if symptoms persist.
So, Cap, whats a good macro balance? C/P/F %? Forget total cals because that is person and goal dependent..

I really think it still comes down to genetics and body type.. some process carbs better, some proteins. Some have high metabolism, some low.. some high insulin, some low.. Point is, I guess there is no "one size fits all" theory..
^^ this
and it can change depending on training, time of year (srs), current metabolic status -insulin sensitivity etc
hunglo..whos coaching you?
Shelby did last go..In the meantime I've been working on coaching a cpl of my own clients ...working on a few college credits and a cert...

I will likely be using Shelby again myself in the fall

Several cast albums have been released over the years with one of its songs, "Day by Day", from the original cast album, reaching No. 13 on the Billboard pop singles chart in the summer of 1972.
The structure of the musical is that of a series of parables, based on the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
These are then interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns, with the passion of Christ treated briefly near the end of the performance.
The show is being produced and choreographed by Kathy Taylor, owner of the Dance Studio here in Beeville, co-produced by the Beeville Theater Arts and directed by James Dirks.
Dirks, having directed numerous plays here in the Beeville area, remembers his humble theater beginnings.
"I moved here in 2005, basically for the same reasons Kathy Taylor moved to Beeville.
"We're both performers. She's a dancer, and I'm in theater arts. Both of us came to Beeville to take care of our parents, and we ran into each other one day at the Berclair Mansion.
"Kathy and I have been doing a bunch of shows in Beeville since 2005. I did Godspell when I was fresh in town, and I didn't know anybody, and it was a struggle."
Taylor remembers when she went and saw Dirks' first production of Godspell.
She said, "He had such a struggle trying to do it all on his own; he didn't have any support.
"And I said, this guy, James Dirks, come hell or high water, he did it. With everything working against him, he did it."
Dirks added, "Kathy one day called me and said, 'James, let's do Godspell again. Let's do it the right way.' And I said 'I'm in; let's do it.'"
Taylor, having performed all over the world and having lived in New York for six years, knows a thing or two about the performing arts.
Her last big project was the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
"My ultimate goal is to just bring theater arts to Beeville, because there has to be something for this town," Taylor said.
"There's so many talented people here. I own the Dance Studio, and there's so much talent that comes to my studio, so they need something to do; they need projects.
"So, we're not waiting for anything; we're just doing it."
Dirks, a Houston native, has been involved in theater arts his whole life and has acted in, as well as directed, many of his plays.
He remembered, "When I first moved here and we did this first show, I couldn't find anyone to play any of the parts.
"I'm glad Kathy came along to help, so I can just direct it and not be in it."
It's also the debut for the newly-formed Beeville Theater Arts group which is co-producing the musical.
The Beeville Theater Arts' goal is basically to get people of all ages into the performing and visual arts.
"Kathy's already got the school going with various types of classes that people can sign up for now."
"The kids are hungry; they want something. And there's so few people willing to dedicate themselves to do it.
"Let's face it. No one's getting paid at the end of the day. It's a lot of work, so you really have to have a serious passion for it."
So, with the wait for a performing arts studio outside of the high schools and colleges, Taylor and Dirks are getting ready themselves and not waiting around.
Dirks said, "We're friends of the Rialto Theater, so when we open the doors, we'll already have the talent pool ready for their productions to go right away."
Kathy added, "I've been producing productions out of my studio for the past five years.
"If there was a theater, I mean the artistic directors are right here, choreography and everything.
"My studio is growing fast."
"We've had great support from the Beeville community," Dirks said. "A.C. Jones High School and Coastal Bend College have given us lots of support."
Godspell will open Friday, Aug. 24, at 7 p.m. at the Gertrude R. Jones Fine Arts Auditorium at the Coastal Bend College campus.
Performances will follow that weekend on Saturday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 26, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Beeville Theater Arts is also seeking donations, sponsors and any other help in order to keep the plays coming and the public entertained.
To make donations or to find out more about future productions, call the Dance Studio at (361) 354-5999.

Jazz masters bring Newport Jazz Festival to Wilson Center
Sixty years ago this summer, jazz musicians and fans established an unlikely beachhead in Newport, R.I., to the annoyance of some uppity mansion-owners.
But the art and artists prevailed. And, over time, the Newport Jazz Festival has thrived, producing historic concerts and recordings. »Read Full Article(2)
In First Stage's 'Crash,' a football player learns how to hug
Recalling young actor Seth Horne from past First Stage shows, what stands out is a seemingly incorruptible innocence, inscribed in a sensitive, open face that reflects an unabashed enthusiasm for life. In a memorable show like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," for example, Horne's projection of Charlie's fundamental, rock-solid goodness stood in stark contrast to the bratty kids accompanying Charlie on tour.
But kids grow up, often losing their sense of magic along the way; many of them become bullies. In the First Stage production of "Crash," that's the rocky road being traveled by seventh-grader John "Crash" Coogan — convincingly played by Horne, in the Defense Cast of alternating young actors I saw Saturday night. »Read Full Article

By Julia Cirbo, Master Gardener and Carl Wilson, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Agent, horticulture, Denver County
While adults may be caught up in the competition of growing record breaking large pumpkins, a "small" revolution is underway.
Scaled particularly well for a child's world, the newer small pumpkins have adult "cute" and culinary appeal as well.
Five of the smallest deserve mention. `Baby Bear' (Park, Johnny's Seeds) tested particularly well in variety trials at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Bright orange, smooth and moderately ribbed, this youngster measures in at 6 inches across and 4 inches high. In addition to decoration, its flesh is good for pies and its seeds toast up nicely for healthy kids' snacks.
`Munchkins' (from Shepherd's) well deserves this name for their 3-inch mature size. This miniature pumpkin develops hard, ridged shells and a deep orange color. Fine for decorative uses, it also features a sweet flesh that makes excellent individual sized baked shells for pumpkin pudding, stuffing or even cranberry sauce.
White pumpkins recently have been bred for truer whites. `Baby Boo' (Burpee, Park, Shepherd's) is a pure white mini that's sure to remind children of ghosts. It shares several characteristics with "Munchkins" - 3 inch size, a relatively short (80 day) growing period and yields of about 9 pumpkins per plant. They're good for decorating and cooked as a side dish.
`Jack Be Little' (Johnny's, Territorial, Burpee) is a 3-inch orange pumpkin that reaches just 2 inches high. It's good for arrangements and will last for up to a year if dried and cured. You also can use it as you would a winter squash.
A miniature carving pumpkin for tiny tots is `Spooktacular' (Shepherd's). It develops the perfectly round, classic jack-o'-lantern shape but measures only 6 inches in diameter and weighs in at just 3 to 4 pounds. Small enough to put a carved Halloween face on windowsills, it also makes excellent pies and tarts.
Pumpkins are warm season vegetables that should be planted in late May, earlier if soil has been warmed with solar heat captured by plastic mulch or growing tunnels. Plant 5 or 6 seeds in a soil mound of the same inch height, thinning to the strongest two or three seedlings after two weeks. Allow 4 to 6 feet for the vines to spread. Or miniature pumpkins are especially well-suited to growing vertically on poles or wire trellises.
Pumpkins are challenging but not impossible to transplant. Don't grow them for more than 3 or 4 weeks before setting out. The small pumpkins mentioned require an 80 to 100 day growing season.
Harvest before or just after the first frost leaving at least a 2-inch "handle" or stem on the fruit. Don't allow pumpkins to sit in the garden where handles will bleach or and fruit sunscald in Colorado's intense sun. Store in a cool, dry place and bring out for Halloween. You may come to believe that bigger isn't always better, at least when it comes to pumpkins!

Finding new frontiers in mutual fund investing
NEW YORK Finding stocks that zig when others zag is a key goal for investors, and mutual fund managers say theyre finding candidates in places that may be unfamiliar. Theyre delving deeper into less-developed economies, buying stock in Nigerian breweries, banks in Kazakhstan and cement companies in Colombia.
Trading in such markets is more difficult and the threat of big losses is higher. But proponents of so-called frontier markets say they are where Brazil, China, India and other big emerging markets were 20 years ago. And while investing in stocks from those countries may have seemed wild then, today theyre just a de rigueur part of an emerging-markets portfolio.
Frontier-market investing covers a wide range of economies from huge countries like Pakistan, one of the worlds 10 largest by population, to Mauritius, which has fewer people than Idaho. What they have in common are economies or stock markets that are less developed than traditional emerging markets, such as China and Brazil, which are themselves less developed than the U.S., Japan or Germany.
Because of their smaller size and increased risk, conventional wisdom said that frontier-market stocks should behave like emerging-market stocks on steroids: They should have higher highs and lower lows. But over the last year, frontier-market stocks havent been dragged down by worries dogging large emerging markets.
Over the 12 months ended in April, the MSCI Frontier Markets index returned 27.9 percent in U.S. dollar terms, including dividends. China, Brazil and other more established emerging markets, meanwhile, lost 1.5 percent as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets index.
Part of the allure is that frontier markets arent yet fully part of the global economy. They dont have big exporters like South Koreas Samsung, whose revenue depends heavily on the global economys strength. That means the direction of a frontier markets stocks is more heavily reliant upon the strength of its own economy. And expectations for many frontier economies are high.
The focus on the growth of the local economy can lead to big differences in performance. Consider the United Arab Emirates. Through the end of April it surged 40.4 percent. Kazakhstan, also a member of the frontier index, fell 7.1 percent.
Such differences are a positive for investors, says Rick Schmidt, portfolio manager at Harding Loevners Frontier Emerging Markets fund (HLMOX), which has returned 18.8 percent over the last year.
The individual country risk is very high: You can have a coup over here and an invasion over there, Schmidt says. But because none of them affects what happens in other markets, when you own a portfolio of those, youre actually reducing risk.
To be sure, as frontier markets grow, their ties to the global economy will likely strengthen. That means their stock markets would eventually move more in sync with other global markets. But investors now are noticing the strong performance and diversification that frontier markets have recently provided.
Big institutional clients and financial advisers are asking more often whether they need to be in frontier markets, Schmidt says. So, whats the answer?
If you can handle the risks and hold through this thing for five years, frontier is an asset class that is very exciting, he says.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

I've heard that expression bandied about for years, and being unclear as to its origins, did some research. Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org [2]) never fails me, and I learned several things pertaining to the adage, including the fact that "It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us" is a book published in 1996 by First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton. In it, Clinton presents her vision for the children of America. She focuses on the impact individuals and groups outside the family have, for better or worse, on a child's well-being.
I recall being inspired by Clinton's zeal and ability to reach millions with her message. The book's title is attributed to an African proverb: "It takes a village to raise a child." The saying and its origin as an African proverb were in circulation before it was adopted by Clinton as the source for the title of her book. According to the website, "It originated from the Nigerian Igbo culture and proverb 'Ora na azu nwa' which means it takes the community/village to raise a child. The Igbo's also name their children 'Nwa ora' which means child of the community. Long before the first lady adopted the expression, it was in existence in Africa for centuries, and the saying previously provided the source for the title of a different book, 'It Takes a Village' by Jane Cowen-Fletcher, published in 1994."
Flash forward to Sullivan County, the village in which I reside. I often find myself in awe of the incredible community service that abounds in the Catskills—not just in Sullivan County, but throughout the region. At a holiday party last year, I ran into David Dunlap, who informed me about the holiday magic that he and his wife Corinne (along with scores of elves) had been putting together as a gift for the community throughout the holiday season. Having missed out last year, I was determined to put their vision of Santa's Village, which took place on Friday and Saturday, December 16 and 17 this year, on my must-see list, and did just that this past weekend.
Now in its third year and sponsored by Hilltop Homes (www.facebook.com/pages/Hilltop-Homes [3]), the event is well on its way to becoming (IMHO) legendary. Dunlap and company work tirelessly to create this fantastical display, replete with well over 100,000 lights, snowmen, reindeer, a working train that runs through the village and a cocoa and cookies station. In addition, families had an opportunity to have their picture taken with the fat man inside Santa's workshop and this year, the great team at Thunder 102 radio (www.thunder102.com [4]) provided a live broadcast from the event.
DJs Paul Ciliberto and Mike Sakell were kind enough to invite yours truly to stop by the Thunder 102 tent, so with Dharma (the wonder dog) in tow, I made my way, guided by the zillion lights illuminating the display and met up with the guys and special guests, musical brothers Ken and Barry Somerville (www.somerville [5] brothers.com), who performed holiday classics for the continual stream of visitors who had heard that Santa was in town.
It may take a village, but I have to give Dunlap and family their props. Although the first to acknowledge that he "couldn't possibly do it alone," (and the assistance is considerable), it's Dunlaps' vision that has become a testament to what a community can accomplish when banded together in the name of "good will toward men." Having stopped by earlier in the day before the magic began, I spoke with Dunlap, who gave me a little "back stage" tour before the crowd began to swell. "We figure that by this time [the last weekend before Christmas] people are worn out from the hustle and bustle, and this is our way of giving something back. After running around, stuffing stockings and spending their hard-earned dollars, this two-day event (which is free of charge) is our way of giving to the community-at-large."
Families were encouraged to drop off gifts for those in need (Toys for Tots) and several other sponsors have now hopped on board to assist. As I chatted on-air with the Thunder team, I was awestruck by the mountain of toys that appeared, the cozy fire that kids could warm their hands around as they stood on line, patiently waiting for their turn to see Santa and Mrs. Claus and the countless volunteers (many of whom were students from the area), all giving of their time and considerable effort in helping Dunlaps' dream come to life.
I am often overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of spirit that I find in the Upper Delaware region, and Santa's Village is just one example of how entire communities rally for the greater good. Just observing this event makes me want to be a better person and if I can be even a small part of this brand of "village," I am on board.

In a previous thread, I've learnt that the loose forward and, very often, the fullback is utilised by the hooker and the scrum-half in attacking plays. In the games I've watched thus far, I've seen some fullbacks throw some excellent long cut-out passes, a skill that is traditionally (unless I'm mistaken) associated with the stand-off.
Is the stand-off still a part of that trinity of 'pivotal' playmakers constantly involved in the thick of the game throughout or is there a trend developing where his carefully-timed running, his kicking, and accurate passing are being used towards the end of the tackle count and/or when the play is usually out wide and where he can best interlink with the centres and wingers? (Of course, this may not be a trend, it's just that I haven't been watching the game long enough to know instinctively.)
If this is a stupid question, I apologise in advance!

- Abstract
- Well-ordered two-component nanoparticle (NP) patterns are generated on hydrophobic surfaces from mixed particle suspensions of very low volume fraction by simple drop-casting and self-assembly during solvent evaporation. A range of NP sizes (520-60 nm), volume fractions, and particle chemistries (aminated, carboxylated, sulfated) are tested, and in all cases, hexagonally packed patterns of the larger NP interdispersed with the smaller NP are obtained. The mechanism for formation appears to be entropically driven since the pattern formation occurs over a wide pH range (4-10) and is thus independent of particle surface charge. The nanopatterns show promise as model systems for studying interfacial phenomena such as protein adsorption and cell adhesion.

Comparable in size to a smartphone, the Beretta 3032 Tomcat is tiny
while offering the power of the .32 ACP cartridge. As such, this
double/single-action autopistol it is perfect for deep concealment or
used as a backup second handgun. Its tip-up barrel design makes it easy
to load, operate and maintain, while its traditional looks give it the
allure of a true classic.
The controls of the 3032 Tomcat are designed to be simple and to
provide safety and peace of mind while carrying. The two-position safety
engages crisply and positively, and locks the slide while also
preventing the pistol from firing. The magazine release is located to
the left of the grip, making it easy to locate and operate even with one
The 3032 features a tip-up barrel design typical of the classic Beretta
small-frame pistols. Thanks to this design, you never need to rack the
slide and you can load that first round directly into the chamber. This
is especially convenient in cold weather, or for people with weaker
hands. Another advantage is that the barrel may be easily cleaned
without taking the pistol apart, making it convenient to give the pistol
a quick wipe after a session at the range.
Right from their inception, Beretta small frame pistols such as the
3032 Tomcat were designed to be carried concealed. Therefore, the lines
of the Tomcat are snag-free, with the sights being engineered to easily
slide in and out of a holster or belly-band without catching on
anything. The rear sight is adjustable for windage, so that you can
easily experiment shooting different loads while keeping your sights on
target. All these features have made Beretta small frames like the 3032 a
favorite for concealed carry and self-defense.

I actually returned item #44196 and ordered this larger stable. I was very satisfied with both purchases and the service I received when I needed return the one and order the other.
D. Markiewicz
I'm very pleased with the appearance and quality of the Nativity Stable. Much better quality than anything that I've seen in the stores. I was happy that it was stained/sealed. The pieces are easy to bolt together and take apart. Delivery was quick. I'm thinking about storing it put together in my shed instead of taking it apart every year. I don't know if the stable has enough support at the bottom to be able to pick up the whole thing and move it. If not, it's too bad that option wasn't considered by including two or three long support boards across the bottom. I'll have to check with ChristmasNight. The Nativity figures from "Space Age Plastics" are excellent quality and go very well with this stable.
L. Nigro
The delivery was on schedule and placed in my garage. Assembly was so easy and all the parts were in perfect condition. It is currently on display in the front of our home. The addition of straw gave a little reality to the few figures we have so far been able to purchase. Next year we hope to have a much bigger display with the addition of the wise men, and several animals, etc. But for now at least we got started. We are very pleased with this purchase. of the nativity stable. Lucy

The Wood Outdoor Nativity Stable #84195 is exceptional. It is well designed and engineered for easy and sturdy assembly. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the craftsmanship and how well it looks in our church nativity setting.
The stable is great but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. It said I should have 28 wing nuts and washers. I had 19 and 21 respectively. The bag with the hardware ripped in two places and I had t take the carton apart to find all the pieces. There were at least six splinters of the wood. One was about two inches but 1/2 inch. The directions are awful. Need to be written for someone who does not put things together for a living. The bolts and nuts are very usable. The stable itself is very sturdy and looks really nice. I think Baby Jesus likes his new home.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
that sasuke can become greater then nagato how i think becuz of itachi's eyes and if that happen we wont be able to see naruto kick sasuke's ass.
Hmm If Madara took Izunas eyes and the eyes combined or took each others main forms and formed into a new looking eye .. what would Sasukes MS combined with Itachis MS look like? Anyone got pix? :D:D:D
By the way if you want to see what Madaras EMS looks like .. look at the thread authors Avatar.
if sasuke ever reaches nagatos level naruto is donr for because a fully powered nagato would kill naruto
and if u dont believe me consider this
he flattened for the most part the entire village and he had six bodies draining his chakra pool (noted that the fat one probably lessend the strain by absorbing chakra from whomever attacked him) but imagine nagato having all the chakra he used to waste the village in a fight with naruto (sgae mode extra clones frog summons whatever) and no hinata to bring about the six tails nauto would get absolutely wasted
in fact if pain had intended to kill him he could have already done so so if sasuke gets as powerful as pain its over for naruto
