|Confessions of a Garlic Geek
|Tuesday, 18 December 2012 00:00 | Written by Joy Nicholson | Blog Entry
I hate to be a geek brand-whore, especially 'cuz I'm not paid by any company. (That sounds so luxurious, to be paid by a company, eh? Think of company-provided hotels and massages. Mmm!) But Kyolic Garlic is the company I buy from as far as garlic health stuff is concerned. With no discount. No love. Total capitalism. And full price. I promise if I drop dead they won't send a wreath.
Anyway, I trust Kyolic. I buy them. No issue. No money. No massage. (sad face!)
But this dried garlic works. (Jeez-is-this-expensive face!)
It's about more than me—I'm talking life more important than me. I'm talking about my homies and me. My rescue dogs and me. My Chihuahuas. Me 'n my homies all take Kyolic garlic in the winter. I take formula 105—they take the gentlest formula they need.
My pills I just swallow. My little guys might need theirs whipped up with a tuna shake—and the oldest guys need it hand-fed to them. With a bit of gentling prescription food.
We are known here for having 'hospice' dogs live a very happy, long life.
My guess is: it's the dried garlic/honey/herbal preparation.
My guess is: if we had more massages—umm!—life would be even better.
Ahhh…massages as health helpers. Better 'n drugs! Sorry. Did I say that out loud?
In any case, we do dried garlic. And it helps. A lot.

Campaign nears goal to protect Bolton ski trailsBy David Taube
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | October 11,2012BOLTON An effort by two groups has raised nearly all of the $1.85 million needed to protect a tract of land that is popular with skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
The Vermont Land Trust and a grassroots group have until March 31 to raise the money to secure the 1,161 acres, home to the Bolton Valley nordic and backcountry ski trails. The land trust hopes to turn the property over to the state to own and manage.
The land has been used for decades by everyone from cross-country skiers to hunters and birdwatchers. It connects Mount Mansfield State Forest and Camels Hump State Park.
All but $350,000 has been raised through donations or pledges, said the land trusts vice president for community relations, Elise Annes, on Wednesday. The price is $1.6 million to buy the property from the private owner, Catamount/Bolton Land, LLC. Payments have already been made, because the trust has the property under contract, she said.
In February 2011, the public learned that the owner planned to sell the majority of the land to a private buyer, but a community outcry ensued, preventing that deal.
A grassroots group, Friends of Bolton Valley Nordic and Backcountry, drew in the land trusts involvement. The trust then secured an $800,000 grant from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board.
An anonymous donor gave $100,000 last month, and advertising began two weeks ago to finish the campaign, Annes said. Another anonymous donor pledged up to $100,000 in matching money, she said.
The total amount being raised, $1.85 million, will also cover legal, mapping and interest costs, Annes said.
The land is surrounded by 8,000 acres that is secured by the trust and other partners.
The proceeds from an event Friday in Burlington will go toward the fundraising. A fashion show will start at 8 p.m. at Outdoor Gear Exchange on Church Street, with the doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance through gearx.com and $25 at the door.
In Montpelier, a screening of the movie Superheroes of Stoke on Nov. 30 will also raise money through admission and raffle ticket sales. The raffle is for a $1,000 shopping spree at Onion River Sports. The event will be at the Vermont College of Fine Arts Chapel, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and the film at 7:30. Tickets are $15.
In early December, Onion River Sports will host a presentation about the project at the store.
The trust estimates 10,000 or more people use the Bolton parcel each year. The Catamount Trail, a cross-country ski route, runs through it. A portion of the Long Trail runs near the property.
The area has more than 90 kilometers of groomed and backcountry ski trails.

A researcher agreed to peer-review a manuscript submitted to the Taylor & Francis journal Biocontrol Science and Technology. The researcher is Dr. S.S. Narwal, who is also editor of the toll-access Allelopathy Journal. About a week before the review was due back to the journal, the publisher sent this routine reminder notice to Dr. Narwal:
Dear Dr. S.S. Narwal:
Recently, you kindly agreed to review the above manuscript, entitled "[redacted]." The manuscript is located in your Reviewer Centre at [redacted].
This e-mail is simply a reminder that your review is due in one week. The authors are naturally anxious about the progress on their paper and I would appreciate your help in expediting the review process. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance.
Mark S. Goettel
Biocontrol Science and Technology
Now, here is the response to the above email that came from Dr. Narwal's email account:
From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com]
Sent: December-15-13 4:47 AM
To: [redacted]
Subject: Re: Reminder: Manuscript CBST-2013- – Biocontrol Science & Technology
Dear Dr. Mark,
I am too busy to spare time for PEER REVIEW of Mss, however, I can Review if i am paid for this service. If you agree to pay, please tell me amount to be paid per Review?
This unsigned response, apparently from Dr. Narwal himself, generated this strong reaction from the editor of Biocontrol Science and Technology, Mark Goettel:
From: Mark Goettel BST
Sent: Wednesday, 18 December 2013 8:22 AM
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Cc: [redacted]
Subject: RE: Reminder: Manuscript CBST-2013- – Biocontrol Science & Technology
Dear Dr. Narwal,
Wow, that is a surprising request especially from the Chief Editor of an International Journal!! May I ask how much you pay the peer reviewers who provide reviews for your Journal, "Allelopathy Journal"?
You were invited to review this manuscript on 14 November and accepted on 1 December. Now it is acceptable for you to decline because all of a sudden you find yourself too busy, but ask for momentary compensation? Shame on you!
I am copying members of your Editorial Board as well as Editors of other journals to inform them of what I feel is really unethical behaviour for an Editor of an international, peer reviewed journal! I am sure they would like to know what type of journal editor they are associated with!
By the way, I also find it very strange that the only contact information provided for the "International Allelopathy Foundation", the publisher of this journal to be your own! Does not the foundation have a Board of Directors who should be informed of your unethical behaviour?
Mark Goettel
Biocontrol Science & Technology
This letter was copied to all members of the journal's editorial board, prompting this response from one of them, "I resigned from the Editorial Board of 'Allelopathy Journal' in 2009 in utter disgust at the conduct of its affairs."
Allelopathy Journal is not an open-access journal, but it is questionable. Its masthead (see image above) claims an impact factor of 0.846, but my library's edition of Journal Citation Reports shows 0.685.
Also, every time I visited the Allelopathy Journal website, it always said "Online Members: 107." As Mark Goettel hinted at in his letter above, it appears the journal is really a one-man operation, despite its claiming to be published by the so-called International Allelopathy Foundation.
I recommend against submitting papers to Allelopathy Journal and against asking Dr. Narwal to review any manuscripts.

- Ivy Arch said...
I'd like to win one of these irresistible number dogs because I'd love to have a pet dachshund but my daughter and boyfriend have said they'd desert me! I've even considered getting a time-share dachshund with a friend in the same position. Owning one of your dogs would be a good start. I'd look after it and take it for rides in the front basket of my bike. I'm sure my daughter would be won round too...
- 12 October 2012 at 03:41
- byPetra said...
Hi Jane, one of those dogs would be perfect for my new niece or nephew to be. My sister is expecting her 3rd child to be born in March next year, and a counting dog would be a perfect gift. Because I'm the math genius of the family, it would be a suitable gift from me :-)
And till the time, the numbers dog can stay at my place, so we can bond and i can tell him stories that he can forward to my new niece or nephew next year.
xx petra

Before you say anything about the new Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant downtown, you have to talk about the beer. Gordon Biersch made its name in California with delicious, authentically styled German lager beers, made under the strict rules of the Reinheitsgebot. That's the 1516 law that says beer can be brewed with only four ingredients: barley, hops, yeast and water.
That's how serious this national chain of brewpubs takes its beer. Co-founder Dan Gordon, trained in Munich, developed the recipes for the five lagers: (from light to dark) Golden Export, Pilsner, Blonde Bock, Mdrzen and Dunkles, all brewed on premises behind glass walls. Each of the beers is worth tasting -- feel free to ask for small sampler glasses of each. Just don't ask the bartenders for a stout, an amber ale or a flavored beer. As one of Gordon Biersch's ads put it, "Sure, we could make a strawberry beer. We could put a little paper umbrella in it, too."
One last thing about the beers: They're served in a special half-liter glass with a fill-to line on it, which guarantees every beer has a thick, creamy head. Each 16.9-ounce glass costs $4.75.
Now, on to the restaurant. The building, the 1891 Riggs Bank, is spectacular. Much of the interior, including the 20-foot ceilings, fluted columns and large windows, had to be preserved, because the building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Outfitted in marble, rich wood and art deco styling, the restaurant is beautiful. It's light and airy. The place still feels like a bank from the Bonnie-and-Clyde era.
"This isn't a pub," co-founder Dean Biersch said at the opening. "Don't get me wrong -- pubs have their place. I love 'em. But we were trying to create something more."
They have -- it's an upscale experience, not a hangout. The draw is the beer, but the look and feel of Gordon Biersch caters toward those coming to eat. Will the waitresses look at you at you funny if you head towards the bar? Nope. And about half of the space is given over to what they call "bar and lounge" seating: stools and tables next to the bar.
The food selection is diverse. Few restaurants in town would offer chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, pan-fried tuna with ponzu sauce, Moroccan lamb chops, and meatloaf with beer mustard gravy.
One goal, says Biersch is teaching the bartenders how to match beer to the foods on the menu, similar to wines and cheese. If a customer likes the Dunkles, for example, staff should be able to list matching entrees. But the perfect accompaniment, according to Gordon, is a bowl of garlic fries. He's right. The crispy, pencil-thick fries are salted and covered with just enough garlic so that they don't overwhelm the beer.
The bar and lounge area seats 100 between the high stools and small tables, but there's plenty of room to stand if you're drinking. Almost three times as many can sit at the wooden booths and tables in the dining room; a patio will open when the weather improves. In the meantime, the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant is open for brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 3.

Revolving door:
Erin Chambers: (Lacey): Theo's babysitter makes an appearance on Oct 9th.
Galen Gering: (Character name TBA) Former Passions star has been cast as an FBI detective who will cross paths with Sami (Alison Sweeney).
Eric Martsolf: (Brady Black) Has been tapped to play John's (Drake Hogestyn) son and Chloe's (Nadia Bjorlin) ex.
Martsolf says, "Interestingly enough, I screen-tested for a completely different role. I suppose the producers saw attributes of Brady Black in my test and the next thing I knew, I was offered that part. It was completely unexpected."
Gering says he is looking forward to working with Alison Sweeney (Sami). "I was laughing because I've known Ali for a long time. I always liked her personality and her spunky fire, so I'm really excited to be working with her and seeing what they're going to throw at us. I'm sure it's going to be fun."
Blurb with Ali Sweeney:
Why does Sami let Lucas (Bryan R Dattilo) hear her 'diagnosis'?
"She blithely tells the doctor to tell her what's 'wrong with her' in front of Lucas, never dreaming it would be something like that. She completely dismisses the need for privacy. Then she is hit by this news and totally freaks out - obviously, Lucas isn't exactly thrilled by the info, either."
Sneak peeks:
Roman and Bo find Max's bloody shirt
Nick gets a DUI
Melanie remembers details about Trent's murder
Kate leaves the hospital against Daniel's wishes
Theo goes missing
Chelsea tells Daniel to move on
Can't miss: Oct 6th:
Sami wakes up in Lucas' bed
Next week:
John tries to convince Marlena he's changed
Stephanie fears that Melanie killed Trent
Lexie urges Chelsea to forgive Kate and Daniel
Nicole forces EJ to choose between her and Sami
Marlena brings John divorce papers

|Well, this still isn't giving much info about Galen's storyline. Thanks Jonny!
|Oct 2 2008, 09:25 AM Post #3
I agree, not much there. Galen just goes on a bit about teliling his wife the news and also saying he and Kyle Lowder have some things in common; both are lousy poker players and both have been caught in public singing Bon Jovi songs. :shrug:

Oh, Martsolf, the only attribute they saw in you while you were screen-testing for the other role was your phyiscal similarities in apparence to Drake Hogestyn. It surely wasn't your acting.

So I presume Eric tried out for the FBI agent?
Weird GG talks of AS when they said he was gonna flirt with Nicole. I think he might be replacing BD in the quad/pentagon and Chloe will move to a triangle with Brady and Philip.
|Oct 2 2008, 09:42 AM Post #6
I guess BD may be leaving the show, wow. For some reason the spoilers i saw yesterday and this one don't match. The other spoilers said that Melanie is the killer. is there a chance that the other one could be a false one?
|Oct 2 2008, 09:45 AM Post #7
Its gonna depend on what Melanie "remembers" on "killing" Trent. It's pretty irritating because Melanie has not been presented like she has any memory lapse for that night.
I think Melanie "killing" Trent is still another red herring. They set one up with Max first. Now to draw this out for sweeps they have Melanie appear to have killed him which creates tension with her newfound family and Nick. Then in the end she is vindicated somehow and it was Claude's men all along.

Thanks Jonatha ....
I am certain now that the writer's have no clue what in the hell they are doing ... I'll be pissed if they let BD go just to have another actor replace him in a quad or a triangle and we get the same tired story ... Stupid Stupid Stupid. BD does have a big fan base and that is worth something....
Personally I think BD got screwed they told him when he came back they would be changing up the character of Lucas and that he would be getting meater material that his character would be empowered - well they lied to him and it would be a big kick in the pants to bring him back briefly just to let him go within months.. I'm not a big Lucas fan as he was written before but I had high hopes that Dena would write him better and she just didn't.

That makes sense, but i hope it is not Terry's spoiler, because it is too quick and it doesn't make sense of Mel killing her dad. Unless they are trying to give her the pink slip, i hope they don't, she has a lot of potential instead they should get rid of Stephanie.

Thanks for posting! Not much info on Galen's character and why haven't they told us his name. Do they even have a name yet? Why is Sami in Lucas bed?
Edited by Nicole Walker, Oct 2 2008, 10:06 AM.
|Oct 2 2008, 10:16 AM Post #11
|That makes me wonder if a Brady/Chloe reunion will be forthcoming - mainly because wouldn't they want to test Martsolf with NB to see if there's any chemistry there? They just cast him without checking that first? That seems strange.
|Oct 2 2008, 10:16 AM Post #12
Not much info on the new guys from Passions.
SOW says Gering "will portray an FBI agent who comes to Salem working on a special case. Word is he'll be involved with Sami (Could romance be ahead?!) and share scenes with Nicole. His first airdate is Oct 31."
Martsolf's first airdate as Brady Black is in mid-November.

Thanks for posting this. I hope Nicole and Sami aren't fighting over another man while both are pregnant with EJ's baby. GEESH. This has got to be the worse crap i've ever seen. Why would they even bring in a new guy when both women are preggers from the same man? Does that make sense to anybody?

|Oct 2 2008, 10:26 AM Post #14
Thanks Jonny.
I'm wondering now if the rumor is true about the recasting of Eric Brady. Maybe EM came into read for Eric and they decided he'd be better suited for Brady. Who knows what the heck went on.
I'm intrigued how Sami will play into the FBI s/l w/ GG. :shrug:
|Oct 2 2008, 10:29 AM Post #15
That's what I'm wondering about, too. I hope Eric comes back, preferably in the form of Forbes March, but whatever!
|Nicole Walker
|Oct 2 2008, 10:39 AM Post #16
|It probably is true. The Forbes March rumor has been around ever since he left OLTL. I bet he is the new Eric and with all these new characters coming on, it would not surprise me if Eric pops back up this year. I also think it's funny that Eric got the role of Brady cause whenever I saw a discussion about a Brady recast, Eric was mentioned the most. So that's weird maybe they do read the boards.
|Oct 2 2008, 11:30 AM Post #17
Exactly, Nicole. This is insane?!?!?!
Two pregnant woman having kids with one guy...and both get a possible new love interest?? What about EJ? Doesn't he get one of the women carrying his kid?? We know Sami is going to have his kid soon...but they don't even end up together???
This is the strangest story...unless JS is the guy on the way out. He hasn't been sounding so certain of himself/character lately. It just seems like someone has to go...and more and more I am doubting that guy is BD. Hoping GG is a temp kind of character.
I just don't understand the need to bring in TWO friggin new characters to interact with these people they already have. The love triangles are already too crowded!!!
|Oct 2 2008, 12:15 PM Post #18
|I guess it never occured to me that JS would be the one leaving. Makes sense though, what with him making it known how unhappy he's been with how EJ's been written. I don't think BD is the one on the way out. It's good getting some new guys in Salem. The girl to guy ratio has been badly skewed for awhile now. Hopefully there will be enough men to go around so that Days can escape this horrid triangle trend they seem to have gotten stuck in the past few years.
|Oct 2 2008, 12:25 PM Post #19
Alli, did you watch the video re: the interview JS had w/ Michael Fairman? He seemed to be VERY please with Tomlin's work. He also talked about "abrupt changes in s/l direction". I highly doubt JS is leaving. If i was betting on anyone it would be BD.
|Oct 2 2008, 12:45 PM Post #20
Why would he have tested with Nadia when he wasn't even auditioning for the role of Brady in the first place? The casting people changed their minds and offered Brady to him instead.
And, it's not like Days really cares about who has chemistry anyway. If they did they wouldn't have forced Shawn/Belle when both Beemer and Madison clearly had more chemistry with other screen partners than they did with each other.

Faculty voting on a strike authorization continues for a second day today on the campuses of the State System of Higher Education universities. APSCUF, the faculty union at IUP and the thirteen other State System schools, says ten of the fourteen schools must authorize a strike for it to be approved, but the union also says it has no immediate plans for a work stoppage. The IUP vote is taking place at Wilson Hall.
In a letter written yesterday to the fourteen APSCUF chapters, union president Steve Hicks said that the State System's new proposal, while taking a 35 percent pay cut for temporary faculty off the table, still creates a two-tier wage system with temporary faculty on a lower pay scale than tenured or tenure-track faculty, and that is still unacceptable. Hicks urged union members to approve a strike.
The new proposal includes a bonus for faculty who agree to retire this year, but it would only be effective if APSCUF waives the 25 percent cap on the number of temporary faculty. The next negotiations are scheduled for December 11th, and the union says it will offer a new counterproposal. Another bargaining session is scheduled December 19th.

Hello! I'm a forty something married mother of four precocious boys and two betta fish that the boys swore they'd take care of themselves.
I fell in love with Twilight in early 2010 after everyone and their mother, including my mother, insisted that I read the series. After about 3 days of straight reading, I completed the series and then decided to re-read the series over and over again. My cousin told me to look for Midnight Sun online. Instead of finding it, I ran into this website and, subsequently, began my love for all things Jasper. Obviously, I'm a non canon girl. My favorite pairings are Jasper/Bella, Peter/Bella, Paul/Bella, Emmett/Bella, Caius/Bella, Quil/Bella, and Embry/Bella--in that order. That being said, I am not averse to reading great Edward/Bella stories and there are some really wonderful stories out there.
PM me if you have comments, questions, or just want to say "hello." I'd love to hear from you.

On Tap for Today: Lunch, beer and stories for children
It's back to the routine. Not that the routine is bad. After the excitement of the holidays served with a side of sports, routine is a good thing.
Well, it is if it's presented correctly. And by correctly, we mean routine accompanied by a little something to take the edge off -- a good story, a creative outlet or a simple beer tasting. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Not summer? No problem for Chesney and fans
Forget what the calendar says. Summer officially came to Milwaukee Saturday with Kenny Chesney.

Southern Italy
Ancient artifacts and breathtaking coastal mountainside villages await visitors to Southern Italy.
Perched in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Naples is the largest city in Southern Italy and a great base for exploring Pompeii. Many of the items unearthed from Pompeii can be seen at the National Archeological Museum of Naples, as well as countless other Greek and Roman treasures. From here the island of Capri and its emerald waters are just a short ferry ride away.
Picturesque cliff-side fishing villages have been drawing visitors to the Amalfi Coast for decades. This stretch of beautiful mountainous Southern Italy coastline offers opportunities for high-end shopping, fine dining, boat tours, and, of course, incredible views. Ravello, famous for its colorful gardens perched above the Amalfi Coast, offers a particularly unique vantage point. Positano may be the glitziest of the bunch, its cliff-side setting a favorite for writers and artists in the 1950s and the jet-set today.
On the other side of the peninsula, Sorrento serves as an ideally located home base for reaching Sicily (via hydrofoil), Naples and the archeological sites of Campania.
The assortment of Italian villas, cottages, apartments, campsites, parks and lodges are located throughout the southern region, giving you and your family more options for planning your next getaway.

Golden Gate Park will play host to the 8th edition of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass this weekend. This festival features dozens of the world's finest acoustic musicians across five different stages, and best of all, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is totally, completely FREE. It's underwritten by rich dude Warren Hellman, who makes these three days of music his gift to the people of the Bay Area. [Thanks Warren!]
As a rule, I avoid shows in GG Park, because they're oversold, poorly organized, and generally a drag. The one exception I make is Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, which is exceedingly well-organized, with plenty of porta-potties and beer (alas, the beer isn't free). And while it can get crowded (regularly drawing more than 100,000 people over its three day run), the admission price provides the built-in option of walking away at no cost if you start feeling claustrophobic.
The P and I have been drooling over the schedule the last few days. Here are just a few of the acts that we're interested in seeing:
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss with T-Bone Burnett [Banjo Stage – 5:15pm FRI] – Well worth the trouble of leaving work early on a Friday (darn it!), this show could be the highlight of the whole festival. Plant & Krauss are in the middle of an extensive [Zeppelin-busting] tour that's seen them play throughout Europe and the US. Their show at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley in late June was an impossibly hot ticket, so this is a real treat.
Listen: Rich Woman
Dave Alvin & The Guilty Women [Rooster Stage – 4:05pm SAT] – Alvin is a commanding performer and showman who always surrounds himself with top-notch musicians. He knows how to fill up the space between songs with a well-told anecdote or joke, and has a knack for connecting with an audience. This incarnation of his group includes Christy McWilson, Laurie Lewis, and Nina Gerber.
Listen: King Of California
Steve Earle & The Bluegrass Dukes [Banjo Stage – 6pm SAT] – I've seen Earle many times, but none since catching his performance as AA wiseman Walon in HBO's excellent series The Wire. He's never afraid to speak his mind from the pulpit – er, stage – so he'll undoubtedly have some things to say about what's going on in Washington and on Wall St. Not to be missed…
Listen: South Nashville Blues
Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys [Banjo Stage – 1:45pm SUN] – The P and I have seen Ralph Stanley a number of times, and two things are guaranteed to happen when he gets together with the Clinch Mountain Boys: 1) He's going to try to sell you one of his banjos, and 2) He's going to mourn his late brother Carter, who died approximately 83 years ago. But Stanley is one of the living lions of bluegrass music, and he still knows how to pick a banjo and sing a little.
Listen: O Death
Greg Brown [Rooster Stage – 2:20pm SUN] – This big, strapping folk singer from Iowa has a voice that could melt the butter on your waffles. His songs have lots of dark, strange characters who say and think brilliant things, but more-or-less behave like real people. I've never seen Brown before, so this is a show I'm really looking forward to.
Listen: Billy From The Hills
Iron & Wine [Rooster Stage – 3:25pm SUN] – Sam Beam (aka Iron & Wine) broke through to a larger audience with last year's terrific album The Shepherd's Dog. It was full of enough lush orchestration and cryptic wordplay to rival the finest psych-folk albums of the 60's, and it will be interesting to see how those songs translate to an acoustic setting.
Listen: Boy With A Coin
See you in the park this weekend!

Here are some postgame comments from UConn and SMU after the Mustangs won 74-65 Saturday afternoon at Moody Coliseum. The Huskies fly back 0-2 in the AAC, 11-3 overall.
UConn coach Kevin Ollie
On the loss:
"We don't have nobody to look at except ourselves., and that's me included. First and foremost it's me. I got to find a group of guys that are going to play defense. It starts with our guards, it starts with our best players. They have to tone. Today that's what (SMU guard) Nic Moore did. He set the tone from the tap. Putting pressure on you, he got to where ever he wanted to get to. Then Nick Russell got to where ever he wanted to get to, and we just can't do that. We have to put pressure on them and guys have to feel us and I don't think they ever felt us tonight once they turned it on once we got an 18-13 lead and that's where the game got out of hand."
On recovering from the loss:
"We have to come together. We have to go back to the drawing board and try to beat Harvard. We have to do something … we can't keep doing the same thing. Like I told you before it starts with me. I'm the first one to look myself in the mirror.
On what it was like playing at Moody in front of a sellout crowd:
"No it wasn't a different experience. A good basketball game, good atmosphere and Larry (Brown) is doing an outstanding job getting the fans behind them but it's nothing we haven't gotten accustomed to. We've played in bigger games than this in bigger venues. They are trying to make this a special place and to start off and get their first win, they are on their way.
On the play of guard Shabazz Napier, who took only one first-half shot and finished with 12 points:
"I want him to be Shabazz. I want him to be an All-American. It's not all about shooting. We had an 18-13 lead and it's the tough things. It's the offensive rebounds, it's the different thing, but I want him to play with pace. I want him to be in attack mode all the time and if that's him scoring 20 points and that's him making 10 assists. He was getting by his guys but we didn't make shot either. He was making some great passes and it was going through their hands. You can't blame him or fault him for that, but you he has to understand we need him scoring the basketball also. I think he got a little discouraged about some of the guys missing shots but he has to keep making the right play and that's what he did."
On the job Larry Brown is doing:
"Larry is going to do an amazing job. I know he had some tough losses last year. He had a young team and they didn't know how to win yet, but he's a great coach, a great motivator and he's a perfectionist. So those guys will be drilled the right way and understand how to play the right way, play hard and with intensity. He's just a great coach, but he's an even better person. It's great for me to have the opportunity to spend some years with him."
UConn guard Ryan Boatright
On what happened after UConn took an 18-13 lead:
"We were executing our offense and getting stops on the defensive end. Once again, they made their run because we gave up three offensive rebounds on the free throw line. That never happens. It all comes down to rebounding, once again."
UConn guard Lasan Kromah
On the loss:
"We have to play with more intensity. Refocus on the little things like box out, stealing 50-50 balls. All the little stuff that adds up to help us win a big game."
On how to improve on the glass:
"We just have to stay solid, stick to our principles, stick to the things that we work on in practice and make sure we transfer that to the game."
SMU coach Larry Brown
On turning things around after UConn's 18-13 lead:
"I thought we were lucky in the first half. We made shots, but I thought we settled a little too much and they got us playing a little bit to fast. But you have to have great guard play to play them and the way the game is being called now, I don't know how guards can defend. But I thought our guard play was great and I thought Nic kept us in early … and then I got on Nick Russell."
SMU guard Nic Moore, who finished with 20 points
On playing front of a sellout crowd against UConn:
"I just came out.I was excited. Our guys, we were just executing when we need to and I thought they were giving me enough space to get my shot off, so I was just shooting and being confident it was going to go in."
On being guards by Kromah in the second half:
"They put a big guy on me, kind of face guarded me, but that's why you are out there with five other guys. four other guys. It's not all about me scoring, so I just distributed the ball."

Yahoo! Revival Teaser article and video clip
"Life in Llanview apparently took a turn for the sex-ay during One Life to Live's lengthy "hiatus" — and we've got your first look at the touchy, feely, skin-on-skin-filled teaser touting the soap's revival.
The Online Network's One Life will live again beginning Monday, April 29 on both iTunes and Hulu, but not all is as we left it in the Land of the Buchanans Llanview early last year.
For one, Natalie — whose better half John McBain has been moonlighting with Sam Morgan over on General Hospital — seems to be unsuccessfully fighting a serious attraction to erstwhile (?) badboy Cutter, while Todd has apparently forgotten all about Port Charles' Carly and is once again looking to love on Blair.
Oh, and did we mention that all of OLTL's youngins are now not so young and sexing it up all over town? (Because they are.)"

March 28, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 5
You no doubt are already aware of how involved Tinker Hatfield is with his University of Oregon alma mater. Recently that involvement has led to the production of plenty of Air Jordan retros, some for their football squad and some for the devoted Oregon fans known as the Pit Crew. This white pair was one of the former, making them all the rarer on campus out in Eugene. This Air Jordan III "Oregon" also gets a special upgrade in the form of Tinker Hatfield's signature. Continue reading for extra images on this Air Jordan III rarity that's out there from imaclabby on eBay.

Well, these are completely unwearable now...Nevertheless it's a very nice display or collectors item.
I wanna say that's a decent price. But 0 feedback, seems a little risky

Boss Explains Goal Celebration
By Kevin Markey
Updated Monday, 20th September 2010
Views: 119
Mark Hughes admits he enjoyed their equaliser against Blackburn Rovers.The Fulham boss was surprisingly booed by some of his former Rovers fans on the day.
Explaining his celebration, Hughes said: "I just had one guy behind me who was giving me some stick. It (the celebration) was just for my benefit, nobody else's.
"I was just little disappointed with the award of the first goal so I enjoyed that moment.
"I really loved my time here. It still is a great club and there are good, quality people here - much the same as I've found at Fulham in fairness. There are real comparisons to be drawn between both clubs.
"That (mocking chants) always happens. I think they appreciate what I tried to do when I was here. It's just a little bit of banter."

Season 2 | Episode 3 | "Gem and Loan" | Aired July 27, 2014
Not too far from his Mexican refuge and yet worlds away, Mickey serves his parole as dishwasher/carrot peeler in a Mexican restaurant. His new job—his new life—is arduous, but he tries to make the best of it, mingling with other workers during a break. Just as he learns of the miracles of medical marijuana, Ronald show up, rocking no-nonsense Aviators and an ankle monitor kit.
Claudette calls Mickey to meet as soon as Ronald restricts his movements to only work and home. He thinks it's a hot date. She sounds worried and serious. Mickey is determined to take her out, oblivious to her tone and Ronald's warnings.
Back at his depressing studio, Mickey meets his neighbor, fellow ex-con Shorty. He offers Mickey his box of tools to take off his ankle monitor. They bond quickly, not having to say much to understand exactly who they are and what they've both gone through in prison.
Shorty even offers to wear his monitor while Mickey is out on his "date" in exchange for grilled white fish, no butter, if they got it. Mickey bursts into tears, touched by Shorty's kindness. His outward display of gratitude is swiftly cut short when Shorty starts coughing. "You're not contagious, are ya?" Mickey quips.
In greener southern California pastures, Ray, Abbie, and Bridget meet with Bridget's principal/guidance counselor/who cares to go over her private school entrance exam scores. Bridget is bright, scoring well enough to attend the prestigious Bel-Air Academy. Bridget is keen to go, even the harried public school official thinks it's a good idea. (Who wouldn't want to go to Bel-Air Academy with alums like the Fresh Prince and Carlton?) The only obstacle is Stu Feldman, who last season banned Ray and Abbie's kids from attending any area private schools. And so, it's time to revisit the most down-to-earth movie producer in all of Hollywood! Yay.
Ray visits Stu's office to see if the big-shot producer has mellowed out since their last encounter. Of course, he runs into Ashley Rucker, the unstable former Disney star and Stu's mistress. Appropriately, she's now rocking a Miley Cyrus–esque rebellious look. Yup, she's still crazy. Yup, she's still best in (very) small doses.
The new Stu, literally Stu on steroids, is quick to make a deal with Ray in order to rescind his threat to ban Bridget from Bel-Air Academy. He wants to have sex with porn star Lexi Steele or, as he describes, "the Meryl Streep of gang bangs." Stu has tried in vain before and needs to know why all of his offers are rejected. Ray is on the case!
Tenacious Female Reporter has arrived in L.A., and she already making waves. Cochran gives her the official FBI explanation on Sully's death. Undeterred, she asks him about Mickey and Catherine's respective connections to Sully. Cochran feigns ignorance and a politician's smile. He also refuses to let her interview Frank, explaining that he's "on another case." If "on another case" means he's on another case of beer, then he's right.
Informing Cochran of the "unpleasantness" that happened to Catherine in the desert, Ray takes it upon himself to "take care of" Tenacious Female Reporter. And by "take care of," he means to sweet-talk her and mildly discourage her from investigating the Donovans.
Nevertheless, Ray deals with his Stu problem like a pro. He meets with Ricky, the mustachioed head of the porn studio, who also happens to be Lexi Steele's husband. He's vehemently, violently against nonprofessionals requesting to pay to sleep with his wife. Given that information, Ray allows Stu to dig his own grave, feigning failure to fulfill Stu's perverted dream come true.
Stu, under the clever pseudonym Rod, rents out one of his own studios in a pretend porn shoot. It goes swimmingly for him—that is, until he puts down the camera he's using to shoot the totally legit, not-fake porn movie. Pro tip for these, um, unique, situations: Never put down the camera. A shove and a blow to the head later, Stu has stewed up major trouble for himself—the perfect situation for Ray to swoop in and fix. Equipped with $200,000 for his new house and Bridget's spot at Bel-Air Academy, Ray is making good on his word to his family.
Meanwhile, Abbie attends another session with Dr. Data Finkel. She lists all of the good things Ray is providing for her and the family and starts to cry. She says she feels guilty for her selfishness. Data asks if they've discussed the abuse. Of course, they haven't. He writes one word on his notepad, displaying it to Abbie—"BRIBE."
Speaking of bribes, one good look at Ronald's watch and Mickey figures out why he's receiving such special treatment. Ever the master manipulator, Mickey convinces Ronald to let him see Claudette at a real restaurant rather than his sad apartment. Despite Mickey's professions of love to Claudette, Claudette remains uneasy. She reveals that she had to make another sworn statement with the Beverly Hills cops on Mickey's whereabouts during Sean Walker's death.
Ray and Tenacious Female Reporter meet for drinks, getting to know more about each other. When asked about his wife and kids, Ray tells her his daughter is "a lot like you actually." That's weird, right? Am I the only one who thinks that's weird to say when you're flirting with someone?
Anyway, they seem to like each other more than they expected. Not only are they attracted to one another, they're attracted to each other's tenacity. Oh, brother.
Stray Bullets
- Don't think I didn't notice the phallic placement of Mickey's last peeled carrot.
- Want to drive me crazy? Say "irregardless" all the time.
- Stu's poor assistant, Scott, has to deal with so much: "What happens on Stage 6 stays on Stage 6."
- Judy Hoffman Neighbor Hi is the worst.
- Long Story Shorty is the best.
- It's funny that Cochran calls Tenacious Female Reporter the "Boston Globe's Lois Lane," because it's too true.
- Does every L.A.-era teen couple go to the quintessential cliff-side Makeout Point to hook up?
- Despite my ambivalence toward
Tenacious Female ReporterKate McPherson, I love the fact that Vinessa Shaw is Allison from Hocus Pocus!
- Number of f-bombs dropped: 23, plus or minus a few Stu muttered as he squirmed with steroid-related discomfort.
Ray Donovan, rated TV-MA, airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on Showtime.

Ihave been in the restaurant business since I opened David's Cookies with my brother David Liederman in the 1970s. After that launch, I opened The New York Restaurant School in 1978. Eventually, I sold the school and opened Mickey Mantle's Restaurant, the first theme restaurant in New York City. Then, after running Mantle's for almost 20 years, I opened Burgers and Cupcakes, at 265W. 23rd St. I call myself a "mom and pop" restaurateur because I have operated only one unit ...

Hey everybody! I just upgraded from an iPod Touch 4th generation 8gb to my new Clip+ 4gb with a 32gb sd card! I rockboxed it right away, since my collection is mostly ALAC and AAC, but I'm loving it. It definitely blows the iPod out of the water. I'm using it mostly with my super modded sr60i and my HiFiMan RE-Zero IEMS, which I think it sounds great with.
For $70 shipped two day with a SanDisk 32gb class 10 Micro SD, I think it was a steal! Thanks for the recommendations!
I got super bored tonight and ended up playing with my camera as well. Enjoy!

Even the most casual golf fans are familiar with the pristine beauty of the Augusta National Golf Club, the stunning seventh hole at Pebble Beach and island green 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass.
But pro golfers have to consider themselves among the luckiest individuals in the world. Not only do they get to make their living by playing this alternately stupendous and confounding game, they do it in some of the most beautiful places in North America.
Not all of the locations and holes are famous and well-known like Augusta or Pebble Beach. Here's a look at some of the most beautiful hidden gems of professional golf.

The carbon interface makes the ski torsionally rigid and powerful, while the piston damps vibration and controls rebound. The result is a ski intended to be as powerful and stable as a race ski, but that's forgiving and easy to turn.

Multiply out the bracketted trig expressions and apply Pythag to convert the sin^2 to a cos^2. So you can split the integrand into two terms,
Start on the second term by parts, and you should find a use for the first...
(or even easier, the other way round, d'oh!)
Just in case a picture helps...
... where
... is the product rule, straight continuous lines differentiating downwards with respect to x. So integration by parts, if you want to do it with balloons (but of course!) is a matter of filling out the product-rule shape usefully, but starting in one of the bottom corners instead of (as happens in differentiation) the top one. So normally you have to subtract something (which becomes a new integration problem) to keep the lower equals sign valid. But in this case we strike lucky because the right fork of the product-rule shape turns out to be the term we put to the side earlier. So we can just bring it back in to play...
Don't integrate - balloontegrate!

Bathing Beach Program & Harmful Algal Blooms (HABS)
Twenty-five Bathing Beach locations are tested across Erie County 4 days per week (Mon-Thurs) from the Tuesday after Memorial Day until the Thursday before Labor Day weekend. The beaches are tested for E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria. The E. coli test requires that each beach sample be incubated for a minimum of 18 hours. Because of the long incubation period the beach ratings cannot be determined until the day after the sample was taken (E.g. the results obtained from Mondays sampling will not be posted until Tuesday). Beach ratings are assigned based on the number of E. coli bacteria that were found in the sample (see the ratings signs below). These signs are being posted on a regular basis at various beach locations across Erie County during the sampling season.
|Good = 0-64
|Fair = 65-125
|Poor = 126 and above
|Advisory = 235 and above
(or 3 consecutive poor ratings)
The Erie County Bathing Beach program follows the criteria set by the
EPA's National Beach Guidance.
Harmful Algal Blooms
In 2011, Lake Erie and the Sandusky Bay experienced the worst algal bloom in decades. The span of the bloom stretched across the western basin of Lake Erie.
This bloom is known as blue green algae. Blue green algae are actually bacteria also known as cyanobacteria. This bacterium is capable of photosynthesizing which is why it is labeled as algae. Blue green algae are capable of producing toxins; which are called cyanotoxins; that can be harmful to a person or domestic pet. The cyanotoxins produce by blue green algae can affect the liver, brain, and possibly cause skin irritation. Blue green algae while present, may not always be producing toxins. The algae may be found in high concentrations in a body of water and you may see a visible bloom, but this does not mean the algae are producing a toxin.
The illnesses associated with cyanotoxins can mimic other common illnesses. Some of the common symptoms of exposure to the toxin(s) are skin rashes, nausea, gastro-intestinal distress, numbness, fatigue, and disorientation.
The Erie County Health Department monitors for the presence of harmful algal blooms. Once a bloom has been detected a toxin sample is taken and sent to a laboratory for analysis. If the toxin is above recommended threshold limits the location where the sample was taken will be posted with the appropriate signage.

Report: Eric Massa groped male staffers; Glenn Beck schedulers need some Tums
Hours ago, Charles Johnson noted, Michelle Malkin took to Glenn Beck's radio show to warn him off on giving him Eric Massa a full hour to tell his story about corruption in the Democratic Party on his Fox News show tonight.
Beck seriously compared now former Rep. Massa to a Soviet defector during the Cold War and called him a whistleblower whose story needed to be heard.
Looks like the real whistleblowers were actually going to the Democratic leadership and the House Ethics Committee in this case, and that Beck should have listened to Malkin – the Washington Post is reporting, with two hours to go before the show airs, that Massa allegedly groped male staffers:
Former Rep. Eric Massa has been under investigation for allegations that he groped multiple male staffers working in his office, according to three sources familiar with the probe.
The allegations surrounding the New York Democrat date back at least a year, and involve "a pattern of behavior and physical harassment," according to one source. The new claims of alleged groping contradict statements by Massa, who resigned his office on Monday after it became public that he was the subject of a House ethics committee investigation for possible harassment.
via Massa under investigation for allegedly groping male staffers – washingtonpost.com.
If I worked for Glenn Beck right now, I'd probably want to quit. On the Fox News website, the show is promo-ing Massa with the teaser, "Is Eric Massa part of the problem or part of the solution?" I can't wait to hear how allegedly groping male staff and voting no because ObamaCare is not single-payer health care reform will 'solve' any problems conservatives have with the Democratic majority.
If he really goes ahead and gives this guy a full hour to tell the story he's made up about the White House trying to force him out of Congress to make the health care reform vote easier (IT'S NOT!!!!), Fox News will basically be demonstrating that it will literally put anything on the air – anything. Democrats will be able to hang Massa around the GOP's neck like the heaviest albatross ever found. It will probably help flip some votes to yes on health care reform, too, because it will demonstrate how desperate Republicans are to defeat this bill that they'll even associate themselves with an unethical ex-congressman if it helps make their case that the bill shouldn't be passed.
And if I were a Democratic media strategist, I'd probably be lighting a cigar right about now. With two hours before Beck's show goes on the air this evening, the nut-jock is sitting there with his staffers in panic, trying to decide whether or not they need to scrap their whole show and throw together a new one out of whole cloth. A well-timed and orchestrated act of information warfare.
Update: Glenn Beck tells viewers that the preceding hour of television was a waste of time. This is probably the best break the Democrats have gotten all year.

Weather: Blue sky
Air Temperature: 1°C, 33.8 °F
Sea Temperature: 1°C, 33.8 °F
Pressure: 982 hPa
Wind: 20 km/h
We are still lucky: When I looked outside the window in the early morning, I saw a blue sky and magnificent mountains covered in ice and snow! At 7 o'clock, the Prince Albert II approached the entrance of the Lemaire Channel, one of the best-known places and must-sees in Antarctica. On our previous voyage, we had tried to go through but failed because there was too much ice in the channel blocking the way of the ship! But the ice was gone today and thus our guests were the first to sail through the Lemaire Channel with Silversea this season!
Nearly everyone was out on the decks to enjoy the spectacular scenery. On both sides of the waterway, steep cliffs rise out of the water, up to 1 km high! But the cliffs don't stop at the waterline, they continue under water to a depth of more than 150 meters, making the narrow channel a good place for whale sightings too! We spotted several seals on ice floes as well as a Humpback and one Minke Whale.
In perfect calm conditions, the Captain dropped anchor off Pleneau Island west of Booth Island near the southern entrance to the Lemaire Channel. I dressed warmly, put on my rubber boots and the floatcoat (a warm parka with built-in lifejacket) and entered the Zodiacs together with the Expedition Staff. It was time for a Zodiac cruise!
The area between Booth Island in the east and Pleneau in the west is a famous graveyard for icebergs. Bizarre ice sculptures, wonderfully colourful forms and sharp, icy pinnacles dwarfed our small rubber boats in the bright sunlight! It was windstill and the sea smooth like a blanket between the huge icebergs. During the first fifteen minutes, the guests in my Zodiac spotted several crabeater seals and a leopard seal swimming near a rookery of Gentoo penguins. Just as we wanted to leave the place, I spotted a dark shape on a rocky ledge, only 30 metres away. The shape was moving and lifted its head... it turned out to be a female Southern Elephant Seal, which is quite a rare sight in these waters. The seal is so well camouflaged, that one can hardly see it when it is not moving. It normally lives offshore where it dives to an incredible depth of 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) to catch fish and squid. The sightings of seals did not stop until the end of the cruise, when we saw an ice floe with 19(!) crabeater seals on top!
The Prince Albert II continued sailing to its southernmost position and anchored off Galindez Island in the early afternoon. I joined the Expedition Staff in the scout boat to the island where we could visit the Ukrainian Antarctic Station: Vernadsky Research Base! The station was established by the British Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (predecessor of the British Antarctic Survey) in 1947 and renamed Faraday Station in 1977. Ukraine took over the operation of the base in February 1996, after buying the base for a token sum of one pound! The coin is still displayed in the base's bar!
After taking off their shoes and boots, the guests were taken on a short tour through the main building, guided by one Ukrainian scientist. We could see the offices, workshops and laboratories of the station, as well as the famous "Ozone Hole", an opening into the attic where a big spectrometer is taking measurements. The name of the opening it not far-fetched, as it was here, at the former Faraday Station, that the depletion of the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere (later to be known as the Ozone Hole) was proven for the first time!
While one group was visiting the station, the second group went on a Zodiac cruise and explored the nearby islands and icebergs. When they arrived at the landing site, they were very enthusiastic and told stories of beautiful scenery and yawning leopard seals, showing their enormous jaws... Next time I will be at Vernadsky, I might see it myself.
The day ended with the ship cruising back north along illuminated glacier cliffs and snow-covered mountains. We sailed once more through the Lemaire Channel and enjoyed a cocktail party on the aft deck, spontaneously organized by our Hotel department. (For those looking for the flaw... we didn't see a Blue Whale... we missed that part on purpose… it would have been too much...)

Shuttleworth's Position: "Less Is More!"
Mark Shuttleworth has expressed in his blog why he considers his motto "Less is More" to be important. He has applied it to certain design decisions for Ubuntu 10.04.
Hardly has the blush fallen from the issues of window decorations and button arrangements when another topic of interest has hit the discussion mill in the Ubuntu community - the missing tooltips in GNOME panels. While opponents of the change charge that Ubuntu is thereby less user-friendly, proponents counter with the "clean up!" argument.
Shuttleworth has now once again affirmed his decision in his blog with his favorite expression "less is more." As he said, "It turns out that all of those extras add some value, but they also add clutter. There's a real cost to them - in attention, in space, in code, in QA." He stands by his decision, even if time will tell whether they were made with the best thought in mind:
"I apologise in advance for the mistakes that I will certainly make, and which others on the design team may make too, but I think it's important to defend our willingness to pare things back and let the core, essential goodness shine through. We have to balance innovation and change with clarification and focus. We can't *stop* innovating and changing, and we have to be willing to remove things that someone will miss."
At the same time, Shuttleworth remarked that generally much too little emphasis was put on design in the past and that he was glad it was getting some attention lately. Here, too, he defended the decisions of his team: "It's hard to bring clarity in a crowd. Or mob."
Shuttleworth encouraged everyone to participate in bug reports and the discussion as a whole, with constructive criticism sought even in the Ayatana mailing list.

Pillow Talk
Heads Up
Considering that they've been making music together for 30 years, it may be surprising to learn that keyboardist James Lloyd and drummer Curtis Harmon are still only in their early 40s. They've had a long time to perfect their alternately smooth, funky and ballad-driven instrumental music, and they've became damn perfect at it. Pieces, named after a Stanley Turrentine song, don't make the singles charts much these days, but the band has a large fan base that buys its CDs and keeps the record label happy.
The group's 14th CD is as consistently enjoyable as anything you'd hear under the large smooth-jazz umbrella. Lloyd and Harmon stick to what they've been doing successfully for so long but also are wise enough to bring a bit of what the kids are listening to into their work. "House Arrest" and "Forward Emotion" could belong on keys player Brian Culbertson and sax man's Steve Cole's latest CDs, respectively, and have more hooks than a salmon boat in Alaska.
The remaining 10 tunes, though, are more in line with Pieces' bread-and-butter: some female vocal scorchers, a ballad or two (including a loungy take on Christopher Cross' "Sailing"), some funky stuff and lots of extended piano and sax solos.

A Portales student has drawn the best lesser prairie chicken in a contest, according to judges.
Portales Junior High School eighth-grader Alexa Herrington's watercolor won first place, and $50, in the junior high division of the 2009 High Plains Lesser Prairie Chicken Festival Poster Contest.
Herrington's art teacher, John Birdsong, was runner-up in the adult division.
The contest produced the poster design for the annual High Plains Lesser Prairie Chicken Festival April 17-19 in Milnesand. This year, the poster features the artwork of the adult division winner.
"I was excited, and I couldn't stop smiling," Herrington said when she learned she won.
Herrington said it took about a week and a half to complete her painting of a prairie chicken crouching in grass with a sunrise in the background.
The first-year art student had never seen a prairie chicken before Birdsong gave the poster contest assignment. She said she thought the project would be boring and hard.
"It was, but I liked it because I got to make something that won a contest," Herrington said.
Dan Williams of the New Mexico Game and Fish Department, which sponsored the contest, said the junior high division contained about 15 entries.
"As I recall, the judges liked (Herrington's) choice of colors and just the way her artwork represented the lesser prairie chicken in its mating season," Williams said.
Birdsong said realism and detail are important to doing well in wildlife art contests.
Herrington said she prefers abstract art, which Birdsong said makes realism more difficult because abstract artists don't think in those terms.
"She's such a sweet girl, and she's such a good student overall," Birdsong said.
The teacher said the project was difficult for the students. However, he said they found they could do something they thought they couldn't, as well as learning about the bird and realism.

Hey guys, just because that nail gun is quick and easy to use doesn't mean you don't have to pay attention. Researchers in Australia say there's been an increase in the frequency of injuries to nail gun users, both those in the workplace and at home.
Young males in the work environment are at greatest risk of sustaining a nail gun injury to their non-dominant hand, a new study found. The researchers said nail guns are commonly used in the building and construction industry because they increase productivity and are technically easy to operate.
A previous study showed a three times increase in consumer-related nail gun injuries from 1991 to 2005, which coincided with the availability of pneumatic nail guns to the general public. In the present study, only four cases (4.6%) were sustained in a non-work-related setting.
"Whilst nail gun injuries involving the skull, chest and abdomen have been reported, the vast majority of injuries occur to the upper and lower limbs," according to the study published in Emergency Medicine Australasia, the journal of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine.
In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also found that most nail gun injuries occur to the hands and arms.
Nail gun injuries result in a significant loss of productivity, as well as having a significant financial cost. Information obtained from the Queensland Employee Injury Data Base shows an average of 81 workers' compensation claims for nail gun injuries each year over the past five years in Queensland.
Each case subsequently resulted in an average of 15 days off work.
Contaminated environment
Nail gun injuries most often occur in a contaminated environment and each nail can contain metal barbs or may be coated with polymer or plastic which can become embedded in the wound.
Also, the nail may potentially be discharged into the body with a significant kinetic energy causing marked soft tissue damage. Potential complications of nail gun injuries are direct damage to soft tissues, tendons, and bones and can result in infections and septic arthritis.
Out of 87 cases identified in this study, which was conducted between January 2007 and July 2012, 58% underwent surgery, 32% were treated solely in the emergency department, and 10% were transferred to a private facility.
At the time of operation, 14% of cases had tendon, joint or neurovascular involvement and 20% had retained foreign material.
The researchers said surgery for such injuries is generally short and safe, involving removal of embedded material, repair of structural damage and a sterile washout.
What to do
The CDC offers these tips to prevent injury:
- Use full sequential trigger nail guns;
- Provide training;
- Establish nail gun work procedures;
- Provide personal protective equipment (PPE);
- Encourage reporting and discussion of injuries and close calls; and
- Provide first aid and medical treatment.
