Summer Slaughter -- Louisville, KY -- August 4th, 2011
I had been looking forward to this tour ever since darkest hour spilled the beans to me about the lineup a month before it was released. This was my first summer slaughter so I didn't really know what to expect. I live in Cincinnati and took the hour and a half drive down to lousiville at noon. Ticket said doors opened at 2pm. I arrived at quarter til 2 and lined up. It was hot outside but not as bad as it had been the last couple weeks either way they didn't let us in until 2:30pm which pissed a lot of people off just because of waiting in the heat. I had never been to this venue either and after looking up pictures I was very intrigued. The venue is a metal domethat runs along side a flea market. They had all the merch booths set up outside the venue where they were grilling burgers and hot dogs, which were very good by the way. The venues sound was very good, they had tvs along the walls in the venue showing the stage and crowd, and they had another room that had a small stage and pool tables where local bands played all day. I think this is now my all around favorite venue despite some sound issues that happened with a few of the bands.
Within the ruins
I was pretty pissed when they won the spot to play summer slaughter over revocation and augury. This band actually surprised me a bit and were much better than I expected. I wouldn't go out of my way to see them but ended up enjoying the opening set.
Fleshgod apocalypse
I was very excited to see them play and in all honesty they should have been playing higher up on the bill. When they went into their first song there was some issues hearing guitar and vocals but as the set went on everything got fixed and they finished out amazing. I look forward to seeing them again playing more than 4 songs. They also ha the new cd available for sale when I first got into the venue but I thought i would wait until the end because I didn't want it to get broke. By the time they finished playing they were sold out of it and I was one sad person.
As blood runs black
I admittedly like this band and have seen them a few times before this with multiple singers. I saw them back in march as well. They were far and away better than the other times I had seem them play. They were the first band to really get the crowd going and keep them going setting the tone for the rest of the day. They did a wall of death and finished out strong. I very much enjoyed them.
Hurt my ears, I went and got a burger.
Dying fetus
I think they are a very good band however I seem to get bored listening to them for some reason not to sure why. I had never seen them live and looked forward to what they were like. I enjoyed them way more live, but still found myself bored at times. Try had the crowd going pretty good most of the time. I probably won't go out of my way to see them but if they play with another band I like I will watch and pay attention again.
Kingdom of sorrow
Very very fun set it was the first time I've seen them and I was on the barrier for them. It was pretty awesome seeing Jamey away from hatebreed. I look forward to seeing them again on Sunday when I go to mayhem fest. I met the guys and talked with them until six feet under went on. All really nice guys.
Six feet under
I'm not a big fan I like songs of theirs here and there. The crowd was definitely going crazy for them I stayed around the edge of the pit and towards the end moved to the barrier where I would stay the rest of the night. Their set was fun. I wouldn't say they are anything special but I definitely had fun during the set. They played a couple songs longer than they had been I think for a reason you'll find out at the end of this. Couldn't tell you the names though. Hopefully they tour around here again and play with some other bands I dig.
Darkest hour
Long time fan of this band. One of my favorites. They were good but unfortunately mic issues plagued them. The first mic John Henry had would cut out so they gave him a new one. Then the new mic was too quiet. All this going on during my favorite song the sadist nation. So at the end of the song they tried to figure out the problem until John Henry said fuck it and used both mics at the same time to finish out the set. They were clearly frustrated by this. Shit happens. I still loved the set.
All haters wishes come true! Actually no they probably didn't they are still playing music, but they had two guitarists today yes only two. The third guitarist ate jimmy johns and got food poisoning. I like some whitechapel haven't listened to anything since this is exile. I found their set to be incredibly boring and finding myself counting down the minutes until they were done. I guess I shouldn't be too hard on them though one of my favorite bands was up next.
The black dahlia murder
Simply amazing. Sound and everything was spot on. It had been two years since I had seen them. They did not disappoint. I loved the setlist, which I checked a couple days before the show and screamed like a school girl when I saw what they were playing. Pretty much all my favorites. The setlist I looked up was from early on in the tour so I don't know if we were the first or not but instead of blood in the ink to close they closed with funeral thirst. Crowd was fired up entire set quite a few crowdsurfers and several circle pits. I was told they may do a B market tour in October if not then it would be in spring. The time in-between they will be in Europe.
Now I bet you're saying you forgot one, but I didn't. Powerglove had a tire blow out on the way and I guess wrecked. Not exactly sure what happened. If they made the show it would be very late. Well they made the show but they played the same time black dahlia murder played on the little local stage. I was sad because I was very excited to see them, what can I say I am a nerd. I did manage to catch their last song but it was the one I don't care for gotta catch em all. I can't wait to see an actual set from them.
At the end of the day I loved it. Such a great show.
My take home items.
-darkest hour drum stick
- whitechapel pick I found on the ground
- as blood runs black pick
- black dahlia murder t shirt with summer slaughter dates ($15)
- black dahlia murder set list
I caught one of brians picks but it was not marked with their logo and I already had one with the logo I caught a couple years earlier so I gave it to the girl next to me.
Black Dahlia Shirts are only $15? That's awesome!
1/7 August Burns Red/Protest the Hero
2/19 Tove Lo
Sick; I'll probably pick up a Dahlia shirt if they're that cheap! Too bad you didn't like Whitechapel, though I'm not surprised. BDM sounds sick as ever.
And woah, Kingdom of Sorrow played for you guys? That's cool, I guess.
Yeah I found it interesting that tbdm shirts were 15 but as blood runs black was 20
08/30: Bane and tour (?)
10/15: Soilwork, Decapitated (?)
Where the hell did Kingdom of Sorrow come from?
Mayhem off date for them between north Carolina and Chicago.
What did the BDM shirts look like?

More on capture in Pennsylvania
[Dave Messersmith, extension educator at Penn State Cooperative Extension of Wayne County, provided us with these observations on some of the points in Tony Splendora's letter printed last week. Splendora's original in regular font; Messersmith's comments in bold.]
Property owners in gas-drilling areas should know that, through the wonders of horizontal drilling, an innocent looking wellhead on an isolated half-acre is able to drill all points of the compass from where it sits and remove millions of cubic feet of gas (Yes, true. Actually estimated ultimate recovery rates for Marcellus wells exceed four billion cubic feet of gas over the well's lifetime.) from beneath square miles of unleased land (gas producers/drillers are not allowed to drill under unleased land but any gas that migrates to a well bore from unleased lands can be produced or extracted. With that said, geologists estimate that natural gas migrates through the dense Marcellus shale at the rate of less than an one inch per year. So the fear of gas being removed from unleased land is largely unfounded.)
Gas drillers do not pay for the gas they remove from under property adjacent to or even a mile away from their drilling pads. (Not true. When a well pad is planned, gas producers create what is known as a "production unit," which is made up of all leased properties in that particular unit. All people who own land in the unit share proportionally in gas royalties produced within that unit.)

Game Preview
March 13, 2013 New York was defeated by the Denver Nuggets 117-94 at Pepsi Arena in Carmelo Anthony's return to his former team. New York was led by Iman Shumperts 20 points. J.R. Smith added 15 points and James White posted 10 points. Denver was led by former Knick Wilson Chandler's 24 points on 9-12 shooting. Kenneth Faried recorded 11 points and 10 rebounds. Denver had six players in double figures. New York has lost its last two games by 20 or more points. December 9, 2012 New York, behind Carmelo Anthony's strong performance against his former team, defeated the Denver Nuggets 112-106 at Madison Square Garden. Carmelo Anthony posted 34 points and six rebounds in his earlier meeting against Denver Nuggets this season. Jason Kidd added 17 points, seven assists, and four rebounds in one battle with the Nuggets. Denver was led by Ty Lawson who recorded 23 points, six assists and four rebounds in one game against Knicks. Danilo Gallinari added 21 points and nine rebounds.
As awful as things have been going for Carmelo Anthony, he might feel even worse returning to the city he wanted to leave so he could join the New York Knicks.
Anthony is trying to avoid the longest losing streak of his career and his former team is among the hottest in the league going into Friday night's matchup with the Denver Nuggets.
It seems unlikely he'll get a warm reception from the crowd in Denver after his initial return there earlier this year included many fans jeering him throughout the game. Anthony tried to play through a knee injury but was held to nine points on 3-of-12 shooting in the 117-94 loss March 13.
He left early in the third quarter, and fans would later derisively chant "Who needs Melo?" in front of a national television audience.
Although more than eight months have passed since that meeting, Denver fans likely haven't forgotten Anthony's trade demand that resulted in him being shipped to the Knicks during the 2010-11 season.
Now the six-time All-Star will try to put an end to his current misery, with New York (3-11) having dropped seven in a row for the first time since an eight-game losing streak Feb. 5-23, 2010.
"We are in a dark place, and we've got to get out of it," said Anthony, who has never been part of an eight-game skid in his 11-year career. "We have to pinpoint what the problems are and go from there."
While he's averaged 29.6 points during the seven-game slide, Anthony hasn't received much help on a regular basis from any teammate. New York has averaged 88.4 points and shot 41.3 percent over its last five games.

Knicks win by 5
I'll be curious to see who shoots worse between these 3 tonight….lol @ ESPN
lol @ Rudy Gay banning stat sheets from the team after games….Hey when you shoot 11-37fg probably difficult to explain that to those on your team who are trying to win basketball games.
Anyway Ty Lawson will be moving so fast tonight every time he scores it will look like he's scoring twice. We'll also see why we have no shot in this lifetime of trading Shumpert for Faried.
I do expect a couple players to perform better tonight…J.R. and Bargnani nevertheless we get ran out the gym tonight….
DAT DENVER MILE HIGH AIR can't be overcome we lose by double digits
Maybe tonight is the night. Let's go Knicks!
No love from Vegas. We're an 8,5 point underdog. Take the points gentlemen,it will be tight.
Richard Pryor with the lucky bounce….
This got old about game 3...
Wow, we are so terrible at every facet of the game right now. D'Antoni got fired for better play than this. Anything you can do wrong in a game, we do wrong, repeatedly.
Everytime Melo chooses to pass to Shumpert instead of Felton it makes me laugh so hard
didnt the NBA make a note of calling fouls on offensive players who jump into the defenders to get calls?
I've seen it happen alot the past few days in games
We need to get to the line more, too many possessions goes to waste with the long ball. 1-11 from three is not gonna cut it.
Lucky to only be down 6 at the half. Nothing about how we played that half looked right. If Woodson can't create rotations with guys who can play with each other, then I don't know how we're supposed to beat anybody.

Water extents propagated to a continuous surface from the two dimensional hydraulogic modeling information for a specific reach and flow level listed in the data sets name.
This is part of a larger study known as the Yakima River Basin Water Storage Feasability Study (YRBWSFS). The modeling was conducted to support analysis of how fish habitats change in the reach specified in this data sets name, based on flow variations. The final data sets will be used to help determine how fish habitat will be effected by potential new water storage options. Supplemental_Information: This data set is part of a larger set of information.
Below is a listing of the modeled flows for each reach: Easton Reach - 250, 500, 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1750, 2000 Kittitas Reach - 667, 800, 1032, 1288, 1700, 2311, 2770, 2864, 3146, 4000, 5000, 6500, 8000, 10000 Naches Reach - 250, 500, 720, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2680, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000 Union Gap Reach - 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000 Wapato Reach - 300, 500, 750, 1491, 2000, 2450, 5000, 7500, 15000
For each flow level, the following data sets have been produced from the 2D hydraulic modeling: model points, water depth, water extent, water surface area, water velocity, habitats.
The following reaches in the Yakima River Basin have had similar data produced: Easton, Kittitas, Naches, Union Gap, Wapato
Reclamation conducted the 2D hydraulic modeling for the Easton, Kittitas, and Naches reaches. The USGS conducted the 2D hydraulic modeling for the Union Gap and Wapato reaches. Therefore, separate metadata files have been developed for these two sets of information.

Bed_elevation is tied to the accuracies of the bathymetric LiDAR work conducted in 2004 and 2005 with a listed error or 0.25 meters (suspected accuracy is 0.1 meters).
Water_depth would be tied to the above listed water_surface_elevation and bed elevation errors.
Water_velocity accuracy isn't directly measurable, since it was not field verified.
Froude_number is a component of other fields.
Downstream_component_velocity and lateral_component_velocity are non-verified model outputs.

This is the major data set used to create the three dimensional mesh for the modeling. Based on error analysis, it is believed that the accuracy value is closer to 0.1. However the modeling process undoubtedly added further error to the base data. Also, the propagation of the modeling point outputs to a continuous surface adds error, especially around the river edges.

The modeling output almost always had points representing areas of flow being fully encompassed by points representing land, thereby having a river's edge boundary worked into the data.
The 'euclidean allocation' tool in ESRI's ArcGIS 9.x software was used to create this data set from the point outputs of the original modeling work. A distance limitation of 75 feet and cell size of 2 foot were used.
A description of the original two dimensional hydraulic modeling work follows:
The following process information is taken from a 2006 Reclamation technical report draft entitled "Identifying Salmonid Habitat With a Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Model", prepared by Robert C. Hilldale of the Sedimentation and River Hydraulics Group.
Description of Modeled Reaches:
Five reaches were chosen for a 2-D hydraulic model to obtain a data set with higher habitat resolution than a 1D model. The reaches were chosen based primarily on habitat characteristics outlined by Stanford et al. (2002), who stated that restoration efforts in the Cle Elum, Kittitas, Naches, Gap-to-Gap, and Wapato Reaches provide the greatest potential for improvement to salmon and steelhead populations. It was decided by the Storage Study Technical Committee to replace the Cle Elum Reach with the Easton Reach, which is considered to be of biological significance. Three of the reaches were modeled by Reclamation (Hilldale & Mooney) and two reaches were modeled by the USGS (Hatton) (Figure 1). The reaches modeled by Reclamation are referred to as Easton (RM 193 to 203.5) and lower Kittitas (RM 149 to 153.5) on the Yakima River and Naches (RM 4 to 14) on the lower Naches River. The reaches modeled by the USGS are referred to as the Gap to Gap reach (RM 109 to 118) and Wapato (RM 82.5 to 91.5) on the Yakima River. The USGS is responsible for reporting results for the Gap to Gap and Wapato reaches.
The Easton Reach of the Yakima River begins just downstream of Easton Dam near River Mile 203.5 and continues downstream to the Interstate 90 Bridge at River Mile 193 (Figure 2). The upstream end of this reach (RM 199 to RM 203) is characterized as anastomosed, with the remaining portion of the river being single-thread. A few locations in this reach are vertically controlled by bedrock. Flow rates in this reach are typically much less than downstream of the Cle Elum River mouth. Flows modeled in this reach range from 250 to 2,000 ft3/s. The characteristic slope of this reach is 0.24%. This reach contains more large woody debris than the other two reaches modeled by Reclamation.
The lower Kittitas Reach begins two miles downstream of the Irene Reinhart boat launch and terminates near the head of the Yakima Canyon (Figure 3). The Reaches Report (Stanford et al., 2002) identifies this area as the reach of the Yakima River with the highest habitat channel complexity. The range of flows modeled in this reach were 540 to 10,000 ft3/s. The characteristic slope for this reach is 0.25%. Significant side channel habitat exists throughout the reach.
The Naches Reach begins at the Naches Bridge in the town of Naches (RM 14) and terminates near the Highway 12 twin bridges (RM 4) (Figure 4). This reach of the Naches River is subject to numerous irrigation diversions and returns, which were not accounted for in the model. It was decided that the additional effort of accounting for the many diversions and returns would not significantly alter the analysis of habitat in this reach. In the lower Naches River, there are many locations where the water surface varies across the cross section. This typically occurs at locations that have split channel morphology, where riffles exist on both sides but in different locations longitudinally. Many of these locations were noted during a raft trip down the reach. A check of the modeled water surface elevations at these locations verified that this type of feature was properly duplicated in the model. The flows modeled for this reach ranged from 250 to 8,000 ft3/s.
Data Sources:
The data used to build the model terrain and bathymetry was obtained from two sources. Terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) was collected aerially in November, 2000. The underwater portion, or bathymetry, was collected with water penetrating LiDAR in September, 2004 for the Easton and lower Kittitas reaches and May, 2005 for the Naches reach. The point data from both LiDAR sets and contour lines generated from the terrestrial LiDAR were used to construct a continuous surface of above and below water terrain using Arc GIS. In many locations break lines had to be added along contours and adjusted to create a smooth transition from under water to above water terrain where the two sets of points met. However the two data sets merged quite well with the exception of a few locations on the Naches River. In those locations the river had migrated in the time between the terrestrial and bathymetric data collection, making it necessary to eliminate some of the terrestrial data points and use the bathymetry data. The complete set of bathymetric and terrestrial data points and contours were used to create a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN). This surface was then converted to feature points for interpolation to the mesh, discussed in the next section. The spot spacing for the bathymetry data is at a resolution of no greater than 6.5 feet. This is the greatest resolution provided by the LiDAR Bathymeter. Hilldale (2006) discusses more information regarding the bathymetric LiDAR data.
Mesh Generation:
The finite element mesh used for the model was created using the Surface-water Modeling System (SMS) software package. The mesh combines structured and unstructured regions. The structured portion of the mesh represents the channeled portions of the terrain. The unstructured portion represents the overbank areas of the terrain (Figure 5). The structured portions of the mesh represent the channel using rectangular cells with the long dimension coincident with the upstream/downstream direction. The unstructured portion of the mesh consists of three, four or five sided polygons. At greater distances from the channel the unstructured mesh resolution decreases (cell size increases) in order to reduce the overall number of mesh cells. This type of mesh greatly reduces computing time while maintaining sufficient resolution in areas of greater interest. The resolution of the structured mesh is generally consistent throughout each model and typically varies in the width (short dimension) as the active channel changes width. Structured meshes require the same number of nodes across the channel at each end of a region. Where there are significant changes in active channel width, regions were created in such a way that the number of nodes across the channel could be adjusted to maintain a mostly consistent resolution. For all reaches the cell sizes in the active channel varied from approximately 6 to 10 feet in the lateral direction and 10 to 20 feet in the streamwise direction. The mesh cell size is related to the resolution of the survey data.
Hydraulic Model: The following excerpt is a comprehensive description of the GSTAR-W model, taken from the User's Manual for GSTAR-W (Lai, 2006b).
GSTAR-W, Generalized Sediment Transport for Alluvial Rivers and Watersheds, is a two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic and sediment transport model for river systems and watersheds. It has been developed primarily for use by Reclamation engineers to solve various hydraulic and sedimentation problems; and it has been applied successfully to many projects at Reclamation.
GSTAR-W is a 2D model that may be used to predict water flow and sediment transport for river reaches or water runoff and sediment delivery for a watershed. GSTAR-W adopts an approach for coupled modeling of channels, floodplains, and overland flow. Major features include the following:
Hybrid Zonal Modeling: GSTAR-W divides a watershed or river reaches into modeling zones. A zone may represent a 1D river reach or a 2D feature that may be solved with suitable models and algorithms. This layered hybrid approach facilitates the use of most appropriate models and solvers for each zone; it also extends the model to larger spatial and time scales.
Geometry Representation: The arbitrarily shaped element method (ASEM) of Lai (2000) is adopted for geometry representation. This unstructured meshing strategy is very flexible and facilitates the implementation of the hybrid zonal modeling concept. It essentially allows the use of most existing meshing methods available. For example, it allows a natural representation of a channel network in 1-D or 2-D, as well as the surroundings (flood plains or watersheds). With ASEM, a tight integration between watershed and channel system is achieved and a truly mesh-convergent solution may be obtained.
Major capabilities of GSTAR-W are listed below: -GSTAR-W solves the 2-D form of the diffusive wave or dynamic wave equations. The dynamic wave equations are the standard St. Venant depth-averaged equations; -Both diffusive wave and dynamic wave solvers use the implicit scheme so that solution robustness and efficiency may be achieved for a majority of applications; -Both steady or unsteady flows may be simulated; -Unstructured or structured 2-D meshes, with arbitrary element shapes, may be used with GSTAR-W. In most applications, a combination of quadrilateral and triangular meshes works the best. A Cartesian or raster mesh is a special mesh that may also be used by GSTAR-W; -All flow regimes, i.e., subcritical, transcritical, and supercritical flows, are simulated simultaneously; -Solution domain may include a combination of main channels, floodplains, and overland; -Both steady and unsteady sediment transport may be simulated with the nonequilibrium approach for nonuniform sediment transport; -Sediment transport module includes more than 10 non-cohesive sediment transport capacity formulae that are applicable to a wide range of hydraulic and sediment conditions. -Fractional sediment transport with bed sorting and armoring;
GSTAR-W is a 2-D model and it is particularly useful for problems where 2D effect is important. Examples include flows with in-stream structures, through bends, with perched rivers, and for multiple channel systems. A 2-D model may also be needed if one is interested in local flow velocities and eddy patterns.
The 2-D channel network portion of GSTAR-W was used for modeling the reaches in this report using a diffusive wave solution with an implicit scheme. The diffusive wave solution assumes the convective and diffusive transports of water are in equilibrium. Eddies and flow separation are not considered, resulting in a loss of the ability to calculate micro- and meso-scale flow conditions that might occur in the vicinity of large in-stream boulders or woody debris. The scale of the survey data, on the order of 6.5 ft, does not provide proper resolution to define such meso-scale stream structure, much less the micro-scale. Although the diffusive wave solver can calculate sub-, super-, and trans-critical flow, a hydraulic jump is transitionally smoothed. For the purpose of this modeling effort, these properties are not crucial. For the diffusive wave solver, the Manning roughness coefficient should be interpreted as the energy loss coefficient. Additional losses due to eddies, separations, and hydraulic jumps are lumped together within this coefficient. These roughness values are on the order of traditional 1-D models.
The outputs available from this model are spatially rectified values of x-velocity, y-velocity, magnitude velocity, depth, water surface elevation, bed elevation, and Froude number. This data can be manipulated and presented in a number of ways, including shape files in Arc GIS.
Roughness: Various roughness values were assigned to specific regions of the model via polygons while creating the mesh. In all models there were four primary roughness categories used to represent the various conditions; main channel, littered gravel bars, side channels, cultivated floodplain, and forested regions. The Manning's roughness of the side channels and littered gravel bars increased by 0.005 over the main channel roughness. It is common for debris to collect and small vegetation to grow in side channels, slightly increasing the roughness. The same applies to gravel bars where low vegetation growth and forest litter can slightly impede flow. The forested portions of the floodplain were given the highest roughness. Manning's roughness values used were: main channel = 0.03 - 0.035; side channel/littered gravel bar = 0.035 - 0.045; cultivated field areas = 0.04 - 0.045; forested areas = 0.055 - 0.07.
Boundary Conditions: The models include three types of boundary conditions; upstream, downstream, and a slip boundary. The upstream boundary is the incoming flow rate. The downstream boundary is a fixed water surface elevation. The slip boundary is essentially a friction-free 'wall' built around the model. Ideally the flow should not meet the no-slip boundary.
The downstream boundary condition requires knowledge of the water surface elevation at various flow rates. A rating curve can be developed over a wide range of measured flow rates and corresponding water surface elevations. In the absence of adequate measured data, a 1-D hydraulic model can be constructed for the downstream most portion of the reach, from which a stage-discharge rating curve can be developed. The latter method requires at least one or two known water surface elevations to verify the 1-D model results.
The downstream boundary condition for all three models used water surface elevation values determined for each flow with a 1-D hydraulic model verified with surveys at two different flow rates.
Model Verification: Verification of the models was performed by matching surveyed water surface elevations with modeled water surface elevations at various locations throughout each reach for a minimum of two different flow rates. Surveys of water surface elevations were performed with RTK GPS surveying equipment at accessible locations along each reach.
Below is an array of verification data comparing water surface elevations. The mean value and standard deviation are statistics on the differences between modeled and surveyed water surface elevations (modeled value minus surveyed value). Flows at the Naches Gage at Naches during the 2680 CFS survey fluctuated 80 ft3/s. Additionally, flows fluctuated spatially throughout this same reach by 63 ft3/s due to irrigation diversion and return. An average of the estimated flows at each location was used for the modeled flow rate. Easton at 250 CFS: mean error = -0.02; standard deviation = 0.33; number of locations = 7 Easton at 500 CFS: mean error = 0.18; standard deviation = 0.27; number of locations = 4 Kittitas at 1032 CFS: mean error = 0.23; standard deviation = 0.49; number of locations = 4 Kittitas at 3146 CFS: mean error = -0.04; standard deviation = 0.43; number of locations = N/A Naches at 720 CFS: mean error = 0.01; standard deviation = 0.36; number of locations = 5 Naches at 2680 CFS: mean error = 0.36; standard deviation = 0.33; number of locations = 4
Habitat via Froude Number: A major component of this study was to use the model output to identify habitat types, i.e. pools, riffles and glides, at various flow rates. Jowett (1993) performed an analysis whereby habitat types were numerically determined using a variety of methods to increase replicability and predictability in river studies. Jowett evaluated habitat using the Froude number, slope, velocity/depth ratio and combinations of these values. Although it was found that a velocity/depth ratio best described these habitats, the difference in success between the Froude number and velocity depth ratio was small. For the present study, it was determined that the Froude number better defined the habitat types when compared to field data.
Using the model output at all flow rates, the Froude number (Fr = V/(square root of gh)), where V is depth averaged velocity, g is the gravitational constant and h is the flow depth, was used to determine the areas comprising pools, glides and riffles. Determining the Froude values at which the habitat changes from one type to another was initially done by experiment, beginning with the values determined by Jowett (1993). The break in habitat Froude classification was then adjusted to match field surveys of identified habitat types in all reaches modeled. Generally, the Froude number changes very little from one mesh cell to another, creating clusters of mesh cells corresponding to pools, glides or riffles.
The following piecewise function was used for habitat determination: Fr < 0.09 = pool 0.09 <= Fr <= 0.42 = glide Fr > 0.42 = riffle
The break in Froude number between pools and glides used in this study differs from that used by Jowett (1993), who used Fr = 0.18 but is very similar to that used by Reuter et al. (2003), Fr = 0.10. The break between glides and riffles used in this study was determined to be Fr = 0.42, similar to Jowett (1993), who used Fr = 0.41. Reuter further defined a habitat category of races, 0.2 < Fr < 0.4, with riffles defined as having a Froude number greater than 0.40, similar to the findings of this study.
A TIN was created in Arc GIS to display the results. In the process of creating a TIN, neighboring cells are interpolated between discrete habitat cell values. These interpolations consist of one cell in each dimension bounding each cluster of habitat classifications. Habitat features naturally include transitions along the boundaries of pools, glides and riffles that exist in the stream. For calculations of habitat area, these transition zones are neglected.
Field Verification of Determining Habitat via the Froude Number: Field verification of the Froude habitat classification was performed from a raft using a hand-held Trimble GPS to mark the beginning and end of visually identified pools, glides and riffles throughout the reach. Joel Hubble, a fisheries biologist for Reclamation (Upper Columbia Area Office), assisted with the field habitat identification. The intent was to continuously map the reach, however there were instances where identifying the habitat was unclear. Identifying pools, riffles and glides is a subjective and qualitative process and led to some unidentified lengths. Another cause of unidentified portions of the reach can also be attributed to the difficulty in marking the beginning or end of a specific feature while floating in a raft. There were occasions where a feature type was not realized until the raft had already passed the true beginning of the feature.
It was noted during the float surveys and data processing that the habitat features (pool, glide and riffle) in the Naches and Kittitas reaches are much more easily defined than those in the Easton reach, from the standpoint of both field identification and modeling. The habitat features in the Easton reach are much more discontinuous. Evidence of this is shown in the average length of each feature identified in the field. Features in the Easton reach average 196 feet in length while features in the Naches and Kittitas reaches average 397 and 384 feet, respectively. This result is probably a function of scale. A smaller channel with lower discharge is likely to have smaller features.
Below is an array showing the percent of correctly classified features for habitat type: Easton: all features = 73%; riffles = 63% (69 surveyed in the field); glides = 87% (66 surveyed in the field); pools = 64% (19 surveyed in field) Kittitas: all features = 85%; riffles = 83% (17 surveyed in the field); glides = 91% (15 surveyed in the field); pools = 50% (2 surveyed in field) Naches: all features = 81%; riffles = 87% (34 surveyed in the field); glides = 77% (31 surveyed in the field); pools = 0% (1 surveyed in field)
Overall, the modeled classification agreed very well with the field verification. The number of pools identified by the model is not an appropriate representation of the total amount of pool habitat in each reach. The model can only account for geomorphically created pool habitat and does not account for pool habitat created by woody debris. The float trips of all three reaches identified a significant contribution to pool habitat by large wood in the channel. It is not feasible that large wood in a stream be surveyed to the detail required for numerical modeling when the model covers many miles of river channel. The aerial survey of the bathymetry flown for this model has a horizontal spot spacing on the order of 6.5-x-6.5 feet, meaning that features less than 6.5 feet in size are not accurately represented. The survey did not provide the level of detail required to account for large woody debris and associated pool habitat. Another important consideration is that the number of pools identified in the field habitat survey does not include the entire pool habitat of each reach. Pool habitat exists in the side channels and backwater areas that were not accounted for during the raft survey.
When pools, riffles, and glides are evaluated over various flow rates, their classifications begin to change. The length of pools becomes shorter with increasing flow as the features upstream and downstream encroach on the pool from each end until the entire pool feature becomes a glide. In some areas, a series of short riffles separated by short glides becomes one long riffle. With regards to glides and riffles, the greater tendency is for glides to transition into riffles with increasing flow, although this is not absolute. The ultimate determining parameter regarding this type of habitat is the water surface slope.
In addition to habitat identified via Froude number, flow depth and velocity are also provided for use as input to the EDT model.
Conclusion: The use of GSTAR-W in combination with terrestrial and bathymetric LiDAR has been shown to be effective in determining aquatic habitat for input to EDT.
The combination of bathymetric LiDAR with the terrestrial methods provided a more detailed representation of the terrain than traditional boat survey methods. The resolution captured geomorphic channel features that cross section techniques might miss.
GSTAR-W allows contiguous 2D hydraulic simulation over lengths and resolutions beyond the capabilities of most other 2D models. Two-dimensional results provided depths and velocities over and around complex channel features including laterally varied riffles, pools, and glides as well as side channels.
Froude number classification of pools, riffles, and glides provides an objective and repeatable means of quantifying aquatic habitat. Field verification at different flow rates provided support for the method. Classification did not include features formed by woody debris or features smaller than the mesh resolution.

I have eaten so much subway I probably have part of a yoga mat in my gut
The bread at Subway, said to be baked fresh, in-house each day, is made with a chemical that is also used to make yoga mats and rubber shoe soles. Well-known food blogger, Vani Hari says it is time to shine a light on the truth, and her work, along with 58,000 supporters, have forced a change: Subway has promised to remove the chemical called azodicarbonamide from its bread.
I have eaten so much subway I probably have part of a yoga mat in my gut
Is too late now!
The principal use of azodicarbonamide is in the production of foamed plastics as an additive. The thermal decomposition of azodicarbonamide results in the evolution of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia gases, which are trapped in the polymer as bubbles to form a foamed article.
Azodicarbonamide as used in plastics, synthetic leather and other uses can be pure or modified. This is important because modification affects the reaction temperatures. Pure azodicarbonamide generally reacts around 200 ?C. In the plastic, leather and other industries, modified azodicarbonamide (average decomposition temperature 170 ?C) contains additives that accelerate the reaction or react at lower temperatures.
Azodicarbonamide as a blowing agent in plastics has been banned in Europe since August 2005 for the manufacture of plastic articles that are intended to come into direct contact with food. Yummy.
I am naturally gifted at YOGA? Or so I thought.....hhmm

chYeaaaah and yoga mats might shoot out my butt...

Dam I gaurantee i have a yoga mat inside me. This is amazing
And how exactly is that even good for human consumption!
I guess anything you buy to eat that's $5.00 and is a foot long has gotta be crap ladened.
That's probably not even real lettuce.
Given how weird the chicken is, I'm not surprised. It's like the mcrib of subs.
nan makes me sad now...

The big Philly was awesome though.. I'll take a big philly .... Hold the gym mat plz
That's why I only eat mcdonalds
I gave up subway years ago.. Used to be one of my favs
did some quick google searching and came up with this
The smell and the lack of space in JDH isn?t all that?s causing complaints about Subway. Recently, uproar has caused Subway to announce they will remove a chemical from their bread that is also found in yoga mats and shoe soles. In bread, it is used as a flour-bleaching agent and to make the dough easier to work with. Already banned in Europe, azodicarbonamide is being phased out in North America.
-- McDonald's uses the chemical in its bakery-style buns, English muffins, Big Mac bun and also in its sesame seed buns.
-- Chick-fil-A is also a user, putting the chemical in its chargrilled chicken sandwich, chargrilled chicken club sandwich and its chicken salad sandwich. (For the record, the Food Babe had a hand in convincing this company to transit away from antibiotics in their chicken meat within five years.)
-- Not to be outdone, Burger King includes azodicarbonamide in a host of its foods: the artisan-style bun, English muffins, French toast sticks, croissants, sesame seed buns and home-style Caesar croutons.
-- Dunkin Donuts puts the chemical in its croissants, Texas toast and Danishes. However, the company may have had a change of heart. A company official told CNBC recently: "We are evaluating the use of the ingredient as a dough conditioner in our products and currently discussing the matter with our suppliers."
-- The little red-haired Wendy's girl may be cute, but the company nonetheless uses the chemical in their premium toasted buns, bagels, Panini bread and sandwich buns.
-- Roast beef chain Arby's is guilty as well, including azodicarbonamide in its sesame seed buns, onion bread, harvest wheat and honey wheat breads, French toast sticks and croissants.
-- More leaps out at you at Jack in the Box than an odd-looking clown character. This chain uses the chemical in its regular buns, jumbo buns, bakery-style buns and grilled sourdough bread.
-- Carl's Jr. includes the chemical in its French Toast Dips, honey wheat bread, sourdough bread and its plain and sesame seed buns.
-- Following in the footsteps of the other restaurant chains, Hardee's buns also include the chemical. Specifically, it is an ingredient in the chain's sourdough bread, hot dog buns, wheat buns, croissants and seeded buns.
-- Last but not least, if Harold and Kumar had only realized that White Castle buns -- along with the chain's French Toast Sticks, Cloverhill Cheese Danish, Cloverhill Big Texas Cinnamon Danish and Awrey Grande Cinnamon Swirl -- also contain the chemical.
Aussies and Philadelphians are the only people here
That explains why I've been shitting yoga mats...

Finally, a voice of reason... devoid of emotional reaction.
You'd think that posters/fans would notice a career 24pt 45% player, that "HAS ALL OF A SUDDEN" produced his lowest numbers of his career would indicate that it's the coach and his system but they'd rather point to Jeremy Lin as some sort of anectdotal response.
Jeremy Lin. The same player who this Coach didn't even know he had until he was FORCED to play him ala Mozgov and a slew of others.
You'd think that this coach, who swears he NEEDS a PG, would have declined his offer without an assurance of having a top-rate PG... makes you think MDA didn't even realize he needed a PG himself doesn't it?
So although every Knick team under MDA placed in the bottom echelon of Defense & Rebounding, it must be Carmelo. SMH
Although MDA has finished sub.500 with every Knick team he's coached, it must be Carmelo.
Although every Knick team presents a lay_up line on defense, it must be due to Carmelo.
Although we have upgraded every single position on our team over time yet we still produce similar results, it must be Carmelo.
And of course, althoguh Many Other Players current and jettisoned have either their worst statistical year or way better off this team, it must be Carmelo.
Be a man. Admit you were wrong about Mike. Admit he cannot make anyone better purposefully.
Admit that leadership takes accountability. Admit YOU HAVE ALMOST NEVER HEARD MIKE SAY IT WAS ME AND MY STAFF'S FAULT.
Accountability. Show me where the leader the coach paid 6mil is accountable! Please.

Hi! I'm new to the forum. My son is 6 weeks old.
I'm starting to think this week that we have either OALD, or reflux, or both. We're soaking the bed every night with milk, changing both of our clothes 2-3 times a day. He seems to do what others have described - latching on and off and never settling down for a calm nursing session. However, every time he pulls off, he shrieks, turns a horrid shade of red, and arches his back so miserably, it really looks like he's in pain. He doesn't spit up that much either. He doesn't choke - he coughs really forcefully.
I have been expressing off a good ounce or two after let-down to give him a break, and this seems to be helping, but it so messy. I feel like a prisoner - we can't go anywhere, because he shrieks the whole time he eats, my clothes are always soaked, and hand expressing makes an even bigger mess.
I am really, really leery about giving any medication which is probably what it will lead to if he has reflux. Is there anything a little more benign, alternative that one can give a newborn for reflux to see if it soothes, before jumping into medical management?
Thanks so much.

I genuinely think that rugby league should aim for two league systems, and that Super League and the RFL should attempt to pull the Championship closer to the standard of Super League both on and off the field. This would create a larger gap between the Championship and Championship One, but I think it would be better for the game as a whole. The Championship should rightfully be its own distinctive competition, with competitive matches, fully professional players, modern stadia and goals that are worth achieving. The transition from National League One to Championship was much needed, however it is not enough as I feel that a complete overhaul, a 1995 Super League style revolution is what is needed.
Clubs like Leigh, Batley, Barrow, Whitehaven, Keighley and Featherstone Rovers are responsible for getting rugby league to where it is today � the fourth biggest sport in a nation of 60 million people � that surely should never be forgotten. They ooze heritage, history and most importantly a community spirit. It saddens me a little to think that in a way it feels like the Super League clubs who did �make it� have kind of forgotten the ones who need a little help in this modern era of big cities, rich backers and brand awareness. Its sad too that in regards to the Challenge Cup fans don�t see the attraction of a smaller club attempting to put one over on a franchised club. A club that merely a few decades ago was an equal, but now one which seems to be playing a completely different ball game. But the thing which I think is most saddening is the way that these clubs, which I personally feel don�t have a hope in hell, are still knocking on Super League�s door asking to come in. Widnes have a chance, but lets be realistic I don�t see any of the other heartland teams ever being allowed entry. However I think the reason they�re still doing this is because they are not happy with the league they are in, not because they realistically see Super League as an option.
This must be put right; otherwise globalisation will wreck these clubs, surrendering them to amateurism. Some might think I am being overly pessimistic, but look how quickly the gap has got in all sports in the last fifteen years; well the trend will certainly continue. When you can watch Manchester United on television, why bother travelling to see Stockport County? When you can watch Leeds Rhinos on television, why bother travelling to see Hunslet Hawks?
To dramatically improve a leagues status quickly, a television deal is needed. Just look at the football Championship in 2004 or of course Super League in 1995. Unfortunately in its current state the Championship will not get one. But rugby league has always been one for innovation; if they don�t come to you, then you must come to them.
And this is where internet television comes into play, because I honestly think that the medium is now strong enough that it could be a key feature for a new-look Championship. But how would it work�
How would the concept be funded and what do fans get?
Firstly a yearly or monthly subscription service could be offered to all rugby league fans and in return they get access to a select number of live matches every week. They also get access to full matches of all the other games in the league as well as highlights packages. It would be a database system, so old matches would be left on there for viewing whenever, and downloads of matches can be offered for portable devices like iPod. Heck there could even be European Cup matches or AMNRL matches if there is market for them. Secondly video advertisements and banner advertisements would be used on the website to make more money. I think there are two options with this, firstly it can be a rugby league only website which I think could definitely generate a sustainable level of advertisement, or for maximum advertisement money rugby league could pool together with other sporting leagues in football, rugby union and cricket to create a video network featuring videos from various British (worldwide?) leagues which would obviously increase advertisement revenue. The only comparison I can make is BigPondTV which I have seen hosts videos of various Aussie sports and JustinTV which is a highly popular live streaming website, which is a bit like YouTube but live, however it does offer a lot of sport feeds from across the globe.
Can internet television really help sustain a whole league?
The general trend of internet television, videos, live streaming is going up at huge rates. I would not be shocked if by 2025 more people are watching tv programmes on their laptops then on the actual television. Here are some facts I found�
- 47 million sport videos were watched online in the UK in January 2010, an increase of 47% from July 2009.
Worldwide time spend online on sports sites is up 34% from Feb 2009 to Feb 2010. It is estimated to rise by the same amount by Feb 2011.
U.S. Internet users viewed a record 14.3 billion online videos during December 2007, representing an increase of 13 percent versus the previous month.�
Internet advertisement revenue reached $6.1 bln in 2008, but by 2013 it�s expected to reach $147 bln worldwide.
Will this not have an effect on attendences?
My idea is that cheaper monthly/yearly subscriptions would be offered to season tickets/members of the actual Championship clubs which would then enforce a live blackout of clubs home, and possibly away, matches. For example as a Halifax season ticket holder, buying a cheaper subscription through the club would mean that I will not be able to view live streams of Halifax matches but of course would be able to watch/download the match a day or two later. With this blackout in place (it is a concept used across the United States in NFL, MLB, NBA etc) I don�t think attendances will fall.
Could this persuade a television broadcaster to buy rights?
I suppose it could. At the end of the day in this current situation no television broadcaster is going to look at the Championship matches on Sky, a network already full of Super League fans, and think yes this would be viable on our channel. It�s just not going to happen. If this turns out to be a success then there is no reason why a television network would not be more interested now that the new product is laid out in front of them as a success. They don�t like taking risks remember!
How would the matches look?
This is the hardest question to answer, because it�s all about predicting numbers and then budgeting. In the Premier League, Sky generally use 24 cameras, Super League I reckon is substantially less but I�ve seen FA Cup matches featuring amateur teams live on the BBC using just three or four cameras and it looked fine. Commentary can be done, interviews as well. HD and 3D? Obviously not. Half-time match reaction and chat� probably not.
How would a new Championship look?
I wanted to focus on the internet tv idea, which would be a key part of a new Championship, but obviously not all of it. The other parts deserve new threads of their own! Personally I would licence a ten team league with the strongest teams like Leigh, Halifax, Widnes definitely in there. Stadiums like Leigh Sporting Village deserve to be shown to all rugby league fans! Maybe cutting the Super League down to 12 would help. Maybe Toulouse would get French users involved. But yes this thread is mainly about the internet tv aspect.
I know some of you might see this as pie in the sky, but I really can see this idea being successful and really helping out Championship rugby. The medium is growing so fast, and I think the sport has such a dedicated fan base who will happily pay to watch a match whatever the league is. I think in 10 years time many sports will be online, so why not dive in first. It is obviously a gamble, good ideas always are!, but if it brings in money for Championship and provides fans with more entertainment then surely it�s worth trying. Anyway whatcha think?!

The 4th Annual Tight Lines for Troops event is happening in Manistee, Michigan on May 18th. Today, guest blogger Maralee Cook fills us in on what the day will entail.
Veterans from 165 communities across the state of Michigan will have the opportunity to land a record catch during Manistee's 4th Annual Tight Lines for Troops on Armed Forces Day, May 18. Take part in saluting them as they return to port, as well as enjoying a day of special events in downtown Manistee.
Sixty private and charter boat captains will donate their boats, crew and time to host 240 Vets for a day of fishing on Lake Michigan. Manistee County's Explore the Shores program makes many of the fishing piers, beaches and the city's Riverwalk universally accessible as well, for those additional 60 Vets who fish the Shore Division. Veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, the Cold War, plus Vets from conflicts in Bosnia, Kosovo and Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan are expected to join in the fun.
The boats, crew and Vets will head out on Lake Michigan from the Manistee River basin at dawn. While the Vets are fishing, downtown shopkeepers and business people will host a variety of activities and specials for the Vets' families, including the Farmers Market, entertainment, SOS Cook-Off, Customs 'N Classics Car Show, Art of the Military Art Exhibit, and more. At noon the fishing teams will return to the channel to make the two-mile trip upriver to Seng's Marina on Manistee Lake, saluted by the welcoming cheers of thousands of flag-waving onlookers from the piers, Riverwalk and drawbridges.
Charter boat captain and event founder Bob Guenthardt, with the help of Manistee's Little River Casino Resort, created Tight Lines for Troops to produce an event that would show appreciation and offer an entertaining day of fishing, fish tales and life stories. Manistee area boat captains and crews also have the chance to share their passion for fishing Lake Michigan's premier fishing destination with Vets who might not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy the experience.
Over 500 sponsors and volunteers contribute to the success of the program. Veterans pay no charter fees or entry fees. Residual proceeds from donations benefit the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Manistee County Veterans Endowment Fund and the Veterans Program at Brain Injury Association of Michigan. For more information, call the Manistee County Visitors Bureau at 877.626.4783 or visit www.visitmanisteecounty.com.

I am very honored today to host a virtual book club stop for author and poet Pris Campbell. Her new book, Sea Trails: Poems and 1977 Passage Notes, is out and here's Pris to talk about her book!
I soon realized how much I enjoyed writing that poem, so I wrote more, based on other aspects of the trip. I started a sailing poems folder. From time to time, I would add to the folder. One day I looked at the poems trying to decide if I wanted to submit a batch to a journal and suddenly recognized that a book was actually trying to write itself. I dug out my old scrapbook from the trip, with photos and snippets of small charts from the area guidebooks along the way, then pulled out my old log books. Yes, I still had them almost 30 years later. I began going through the log notes and writing more poems as they spurred more specific memories. It seemed natural at that point to add snippets of the log notes since they provided a good transition between the poems. I merged and smoothed them out for better reading.
I still didn't have confidence that it would be taken seriously with log notes, so I sent it to Lummox first with them removed, but mentioned what I'd done. Raindog said they actually sounded intriguing and asked to see them. He liked the combination and Sea Trails was born.
What prompted you to get into poetry in the first place and when was that?
I've loved writing since my childhood. In the sixth grade my class put on two plays I wrote and I started a novel when I was 14. My writing was set aside, except for occasional short stories or articles, for a number of years when I went to graduate school then began a career as a Clinical Psychologist. In the mid eighties I couldn't suppress that longing anymore so began working on a novel in my spare time. I was in my second attempt at a decent one when I was hit by CFIDS, also known as CFS or ME/CFS, in 1990.
This illness isn't just about being tired. All sorts of cognitive/neurological problems come with it. In many ways I felt as if I'd had a stroke, but didn't have one. I had balance problems. I was swimmy dizzy. My thoughts were jumbled. My short term memory was shot. And on top of that light and sound were so overstimulating that my options were totally limited for about the first 8 years. When I finally found a doctor who was able to help me get some of these symptoms under control and deal with what was left, I was able to sign onto a computer for the first time. This was 1999. At this point it was as if I'd lost everything, so when I found a haiku site and found I could write some terrible semblance of the form you can't imagine how overjoyed I was. Be it small, I'd found a way to be creative again. As I improved more, I moved on to free verse and found my real niche there. This was in late 1999.
Bit by bit my writing began to improve. I started to publish and things continued from there. I had always loved poetry and we had poetry books in my home as a child but I'd never imagined myself writing a poem.
So here's the short answer…yes, yes, it's wonderful to do creative writing. Haiku and free verse are so very freeing. Both can lead you to your wabi sabi.
Since you have CFIDS, what inspires you to write these days? Is it different than before you got ill?
My inspiration for writing hasn't changed. As I said before, I write for the joy of it. I always have. I rarely write about being ill, although sometimes I do. I write about whatever seems to push itself into my mind and demand a hearing. I write funny and I write sad. I write sexy and I write about loss of sexiness. I write about other people. I write about myself. I write about aging. I write about a teenager's loss of innocence. And I write about the sea. My body may be trapped, but my mind still runs free.
Do you have any advice for people (poets or otherwise), reading this?
I would first say never put off the things that are really important to you. Nobody knows when life is going to throw a curve ball. I left a secure, well paying job to make the boat trip I write about in Sea Trails. I suppose I could've waited but something kept urging me…'do it now'. I'm so glad that I did.
If you do get stonewalled, once you grieve your losses, which is important to do, find something, no matter how tiny, that give you happiness and do it. When CFIDS first hit, my mind was a mess. It felt in many ways as if I'd had a stroke. I couldn't think. I couldn't remember names for things. I couldn't remember something as basic as how to make a sandwich. That doesn't even take into account the incredible muscle limpness, the dizziness, inability to keep my balance or the nausea that made me throw up every day for the first year. Right now, my hands are so weak that I have to write a few lines of a poem I'm working on, stop, put it aside for a while, then start again.
In 1999, I met a poet on the CFIDS forum shortly after I'd begun my first attempts at free verse. She'd taught herself basic html and designed her own website from scratch. My first reaction was, 'it's impossible for me to do that. My mind is too shot', but I found a site that gave html instructions and printed them out. It took me three months to learn what I could've learned in 3-4 days in the past, but I did it.
My last doctor always reminded me that I may be a tortoise now, no longer the hare, but that the tortoise won the race and never forget that. I would repeat that advice to readers. No matter what roadblock you run into, find a way around it. If you run into more roadblocks, create a new plan. Never let anything stand between you and your pursuit of something you love.
One last question: With all of the poetry books for sale right now, what makes yours unique?
I like the fact that my book tells a story. I think that's fairly unique. The reader can travel along with me by way of poem, log notes and charts on my trip. I think most people have a sense of adventure in them, even if it's not an urge to go to sea. Also, the book tells the story, in counterpoint, of the deteriorating relationship with my partner on this trip. So, we have two stories progressing at the same time. My feeling all along is that this is a cross over book, one that will appeal to nonpoets as well as poets. I've had this feeling confirmed when people who don't even read poetry, much less write it, have read the book and tell me they can't put it down. Poets have told me the same thing. I love it when poetry can move over to reach a wider group of readers.
Thanks, Pris! And now, here she is, reading a selection from her book, Sea Trails:

I've been reading about oversupply and foremilk/hindmilk imbalance and a lot of what I've read feels familiar, but not everything. I could really use some advice and insight and just moral support!
My baby is six, almost seven weeks old. The pregnancy and birth were healthy and uneventful and I had no drugs during labor. She nursed about 30 minutes after birth and had a good latch, and we have had no problems with that. She is a champion eater. However, for the past three weeks she has had green poop and painful gas.
My doctor suggested that I cut out dairy and I've been doing so for about nine days. However, think the problem may be a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance, so for the past five days I have been nursing her on one side at a time, only giving the other breast after 2+ hours have elapsed. I confess I was expecting this to address the problem right away and I feel discouraged that it hasn't. Yesterday she did have one poop that was more yellow than green, but this morning we're back to the same old messy green bowel movements and lots of crying passing them.
Here are the basics.
-Feeds every 2-3 hours (at night more like 3-4 hours). Since I've been nursing on just one side, she sometimes wants to nurse a second time on the same breast within the 2-3 hour timeframe
-Baby does not fight the breast or choke
-Straining, waving her arms and crying from gas/when trying to pass poop
-Green green green, stinky, very liquidy or mucousy, high volume poops for the past almost three weeks. Prior to that she had normal mustardy seedy poops .
-Poop seems frequent though I haven't logged it… I feel like I change diapers constantly…probably 15 times a day but that's also because she hates having a wet diaper.
-Rarely spits up – maybe a few times a week, and not much when she does
-Big weight gain – she was 7 lb 3 oz at birth and after five weeks was 10 pounds. I haven't weighed her in more than a week but she looks huge to me.
-Feed on demand
-Not pumping at all
-Breasts do get soft after a long feeding (I have been reading about others whose breasts remain hard)
-No leaking inbetween feedings
-Only sprayed a couple of times when she came off unexpectedly and it wasn't all that dramatic
Does anyone have any advice? She is normally such a happy, smiling baby. Her squished up crying face and pained arm waving make me so sad! Thank you for any help you can offer.

This Hubble picture, taken on July 23, is the first full-disk natural-color image of Jupiter made with Hubble's new camera, the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). It is the sharpest visible-light picture of Jupiter since the New Horizons spacecraft flew by that planet in 2007. Each pixel in this high-resolution image spans about 74 miles (119 km) in Jupiter's atmosphere. Jupiter was more than 370 million miles (600 million km) from Earth when the images were taken.
The dark smudge at bottom right is debris from a comet or asteroid that plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere and disintegrated.
In addition to the fresh impact, the image reveals a spectacular variety of shapes in the swirling atmosphere of Jupiter. The planet is wrapped in bands of yellow, brown, and white clouds. These bands are produced by the atmosphere flowing in different directions at various latitudes. When these opposing flows interact, turbulence appears.
Such data complement the images taken from other telescopes and spacecraft by providing exquisite details of atmospheric phenomena. For example, the image suggests that dark "barges" —- tracked by amateur astronomers on a nightly basis —- may differ both in form and color from barge features identified by the Voyager spacecraft. (The Great Red Spot and the smaller Red Oval are both out of view on the other side of the planet.)
This color image is a composite of three separate color exposures (red, blue, and green) made by WFC3. Additional processing was done to compensate for asynchronous imaging in the color filters and other effects.

Analysts are projecting Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE:UA) to grow at an accelerated rate over the next five years. Sell-side analysts are looking for the company to grow 15.33% over the next year and 20.20% over the next five years.
EPS measures what each share is worth and also indicates how much money their sharehoders would gain if the company was to pay out all of its profits.
