Rangers group of centers under the microscopePosted by: | Comments
The Rangers start a very tough four game stretch in Anaheim on Wednesday night when they take on the Ducks. With the Sharks, Kings and the vastly improved Islanders all to come during this short, but brutal stretch, the Rangers will find out a lot about the readiness of their team as they look to return to the Stanley Cup final. Perhaps most importantly, this stretch will tell Glen Sather and the Rangers management what they can expect out of their current group of centers.
The group of centers the Rangers will face over the next four games reads like an All Star roster, it really doesn't get much tougher. It's reasonable to suggest that all of Getzlaf, Kesler, Carter, Kopitar, Thornton, Couture and John Tavares would all be the Rangers number one center. They are all elite centers capable of dominating opponents and/or putting up elite offense. When out west, the Rangers will again have to cope with the size of the Ducks and Kings. Something they've struggled to cope with.
Has Derick Brassard become one of the most important Rangers?Posted by: | Comments
The clamour for top line centers is league wide and certainly nothing new. Every team wants one but not every team has one. The Rangers are in a fortunate position where they have two excellent (and comparatively young) top six centers in Derek Stepan and Derick Brassard but neither would be compared to the Crosby's, Getzlaf's and Seguin's of the league, although both certainly have room for growth.
Long term, people assume the Rangers greatest needs are on defense, addressing a lack of size on the roster and down the middle. You can argue the Rangers lost the Stanley Cup finals because the Kings dominated the center position. Looking at those needs, the Rangers may have answers for their defense and the issue of size coming through the system but do they have a potential top line center in their ranks? Not likely. Which brings us back to Derick Brassard.
Derek Stepan's Bozak-ian seasonPosted by: | Comments
Derek Stepan is always a focal point of discussion for Ranger fans. He's the teams 1C, but he's not an elite center, so people think he's better off as a 2C. Since returning from injury, Stepan has put up 14 points in 16 games, and has helped stabilize –prior to Derick Brassard's mumps diagnosis– the center position. But something is off this year, and it's fairly alarming.
As Zachary Ellenthal pointed out, he's not exactly driving possession this season. It's not like he's off by a little bit, Stepan is a 43.6% Corsi player this season, so far the worst of his career. The last time he was under 50% was 2011-2012, and his ability to positively drive possession is what makes him more valuable than guys like Tyler Bozak (a 42% Corsi player), who puts up points because he's playing with Phil Kessel. Stepan makes his teammates better, Bozak does not.
Except for this year. Stepan's numbers this year are comparable to Bozak's, and that's not a good thing.
The far-reaching impact of Derek Stepan's returnPosted by: | Comments
It was just over four weeks ago that Chris Mueller was the third-line center for the New York Rangers. Feels like a lot longer than that, right?
New York's problems down the middle began when the team failed to bring in a replacement for Brad Richards and were exacerbated when Derek Stepan broke his fibula during training camp.
But since Stepan's return to the lineup on November 8th, a bit of normalcy has returned to the Blueshirts. Their 5-5-2 record over that span looks a lot worse thanks to three recent losses to the impressive Tampa Bay Lightning, but Stepan has been a godsend since the moment he rejoined the team.
Rangers have legit excuses for early struggles, but show they're capable of much morePosted by: | Comments
When we look back on the season at the end of the year, there's a good possibility that last weekend will represent its low point.
A blown lead against Toronto followed by another embarrassing performance at home against Edmonton seemed unacceptable over the last couple of days, but last night's 5-0 drubbing of Pittsburgh was a good reminder that the Blueshirts are capable of much more.
Any team can dominate on any given night in the NHL, but only two can say they were in the Stanley Cup Final last year, so the Rangers' best efforts carry a little more weight than a team like the Oilers.

Reinforcements are on the wayPosted by: | Comments
The Rangers are so shorthanded right now that they're bringing in Tomas Kaberle to skate with the team today, but that won't last much longer.
Derek Stepan's return is imminent, Dan Boyle's recovery is also in it's final stages, and John Moore's suspension will be over after Sunday's game. Kevin Klein could follow soon after, though no official prognosis has been made on his foot injury.
So how will things change in the coming days and weeks?
For one thing, the return of Stepan and Boyle should, should, get the power play on track. Statistically it can't be much worse than the three-for-32 slump to start the season (Pittsburgh has 19 power play goals already…), but even a mediocre stretch by the man advantage would mean an extra goal every few games, a not insignificant padding for the patchwork defense.

Dominic Moore's tremendous start to the 2014/15 seasonPosted by: | Comments
Dominic Moore became a fan favorite last year and continues to impress now in the 14/15 NHL season. On a team severely lacking depth down the middle of the ice, the Rangers have been able to tread water with Derek Stepan out thanks to the play of Moore. Averaging 12.08 TOI, Moore needed to step up and help out in a 3rd line role and he has done just that. Despite heavy defensive zone starts (-26.83 Off ZS% Rel) Moore has posted outstanding possession numbers at even strength (6.40 Fenwick Rel%). His impact has not gone unnoticed. Moore has received plenty of praise for his early season play but it's worth looking at a little closer.
Moore is 20th in the NHL of forwards at 5v5 in FA/60 at 30.54 (Fenwick Against is a measure of defense, which looks at shot suppression. For more details click here.). The leader in this category is Colin Wilson of Nashville at 27.22. He ranks 25th in DZFO% in that category as well. So not only is Moore starting the majority of his shifts in the defensive end, but he's able to suppress shots while generating shots for the Rangers (40.11 FF/60). Not bad at all for your 3rd line center. Moore's faceoff% of 53.85 certainly has helped in the defensive end.
Stepan cleared for contactPosted by: | Comments
Per the Rangers Twitter, center Derek Stepan has been cleared for contact, and is wearing a normal colored jersey in practice today. Stepan has been out since the preseason with a broken fibula, and was eligible to return off LTIR today. While it is unlikely he is cleared to play tonight, he will likely be back in the lineup by this weekend.
The Rangers round-upPosted by: | Comments
There's been quite a gap between the Rangers' games this week, with the wild comeback against the Wild feeling like an eternity ago. Quite a bit has happened in Rangerland since so let's take a look around at some of the goings on.
Veterans to the rescue
Derek Stepan and Dan Boyle resume skating. The Rangers cannot get these two players back fast enough. Stepan's absence had destroyed team depth at center and the Rangers' issues on defense have been well documented. With the Rangers powerplay needing help, Boyle and Stepan could be the perfect tonic to a unit that has been – at best – underwhelming to this point.
Is the Rangers goaltending pipeline improving?
The Rangers have tried to remedy the lack of depth behind Henrik Lundqvist recently and there's a few intriguing prospects worth a keeping an eye on. Brandon Halverson typifies the modern goaltender, being a big man at 6'4, and he's off to a strong start in junior winning 7 games in his first ten appearances although his peripherals (GAA 3.15, S% .904) aren't exciting. Reports are he's playing well though.
Derek Stepan's return raises Rangers line-up questionsPosted by: | Comments
As Derek Stepan has finally hit the ice with his team mates (albeit in a non contact jersey) the questions will now begin to focus more on where rather than when will Stepan play. Following the excellent instant chemistry Rick Nash has shown with Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello the logical thinking will be to try and keep that trio in tact in the short term. Of course, given Nash's not so pretty possession numbers perhaps Alain Vigneault will consider reuniting Stepan with the Rangers best and hottest forward.
Questions will be raised about Stepan's match readiness. Will Stepan need to be eased back in? And can Nash be a spark for Stepan the way he appears to have been for Zuccarello and Brassard? The options for Stepan are numerous at this stage. With Stepan's return almost certainly meaning the end of the Marty St Louis at center experiment, the chances are that Stepan will be paired with St Louis and Kreider, (finally) giving the Rangers two legitimate scoring lines for the first time this season.

I really like to talk about football officiating. I like to listen to others talk about football officiating. I especially like to listen when the people doing the talking think they know the rules but couldn't be more wrong.
There is always a lot of talk about officiating in sports of all kind but in my opinion more people are wrong about, or over-react, to football officiating.
I have many examples, though not as many as I might, because I rarely sit in the stands during a high school game.

Harrison County Middle School principal Mike McIntire urged the new inductees into the HCMS Junior Beta Club to be more 'selfless' and to challenge themselves academically.
On Thursday night, Oct. 27, at the Harrison County High School auditorium, 44 sixth, seventh and eighth graders were recognized and inducted into the Junior Beta Club during the Harvest Induction Ceremony.
We've all been there.
What do you get someone for their birthday who, shall we say, is "more experienced."
How many ties, pair of socks and underwear can one man possible need?
As far as the fairer gender, more specifically a woman pushing triple digits, what do you get her?
What kind of unique and fun birthday gift could one possibly get for someone who has pretty much seen and done it all?
There are certain trees that consistently remain my favorites. When I think about their common characteristics, one thing stands out: the bark. Interesting bark is always there, whether the tree is leafing out, blooming, or showing dramatic fall color. Bark remains constant whether the tree is good, bad, pretty or ugly.

Aliens versus Predator: War, also known as Aliens/Predator: War and more recently Aliens vs. Predator: War, is a five-issue limited comic book series that was first published by Dark Horse Comics from May-August 1995. The contents of the first issue (issue #0) were originally published in 14 installments in the promotional publication Dark Horse Insider, Vol. 2 #1-14, from January 1992-February 1993. The story was written by Randy Stradley, illustrated by Chris Warner, Mike Manley, Jim Hall and Mark G. Heike, inked by Warner and Ricardo Villagrán, colored by Jim Sinclair and Chris Chalenor, lettered by Steve Dutro and edited by Edward Martin III and Bob Cooper, with cover art by Richard Corben. The comic was later adapted as a novel of the same name by S. D. Perry.
War served as a direct sequel to Aliens vs. Predator (1990 series), continuing the adventures of protagonist Machiko Noguchi. It also featured tie-ins with the previous AVP story Aliens vs. Predator: Duel and the Aliens story Aliens: Berserker. The later comic Aliens vs. Predator: Three World War would also feature Noguchi, forming something of a trilogy.
In the Aliens vs. Predator comics line, Aliens versus Predator: War was preceded by Aliens vs. Predator: Duel, published concurrently with Aliens/Predator: The Deadliest of the Species, and was followed by Aliens versus Predator: Booty.
Publisher's SummaryEdit
#0: Sometimes reeling-in the catch of your life can mean the end of your life. Machiko Noguchi, the last survivor of the colony on Ryushi, is journeying aboard a massive Predator ship when a freshly caught Alien Queen snaps her tethers, destroying all in her path. Unfortunately for her, Machiko is in that path.
#1: First blood or last breath. Those are the only choices in Aliens vs. Predator: War! The Predators converge on the seed planet, Bunda, for the biggest bug hunt yet, each taking position to draw first blood. Machiko, the human survivor from Dark Horse's historic first Aliens vs. Predator series, and now a full-fledged member of the Predator clan, is forced into a duel in order to claim her rightful place in the upcoming hunt. But when a new group of humans shows up, including the three survivors from the end of Aliens: Berserker, what began as sport becomes serious business.
#2: The quick death of a fractured spine, or the extended agony of birthing a chestburster. If you had your choice, which would it be? Find out how a band of displaced humans deals with this dilemma in the second issue of Aliens vs. Predator: War! Loose ends begin to tie together, drawing characters and situations from the first AvP series, from Aliens: Berserker, and from the very recent AvP: Duel! This issue comes packed with adrenaline!
#3: Aliens and Predators: two deadly species fighting for domination of an otherwise abandoned world. What they didn't count on was the added confrontation of the deadliest species of all... the species known as humans! Guns are pumped, knives are wrapped, and claws are sharpened in preparation for the all-out battle for the planet Bunda! Three bloodthirsty armies prepare themselves for an all-out WAR!
#4: War is all about lines, the kind you draw between your enemies and your allies. But those lines become blurred in the conclusion to Aliens vs. Predator: War! Machiko Noguchi has abandoned her Predator allies and joined the human survivors on Bunda. But perhaps she'll reconsider her position when the humans find themselves caught between the ultimate in rocks and hard places! It's the final battle of this all-out war, with the Aliens on one side and Predators on the other, and the outmanned humans hang their only hopes on a fearsome and uncontrollable suit of MAX berserker armor!
The story starts as Machiko Noguchi living now with Top-Knot's clan. They are in a world dominated by xenomorphs in a mission to capture a Queen. Machiko is now bullied by a hunter she calls "Shorty", who mimicks Machiko's voice mocking her. Machiko takes a little revenge on him by saving his life, which is a mayor insult in the yautja culture. The hunters capture the Queen but she tries to free herself and killed a hunter called "Three Spot". Machiko controls the situation but disobeys Top-Knot in the process. The Queen again frees but now inside the ship, and Shorty closes the hatch trapping Machiko in the hold with her, Machiko escapes barely.
The clan is preparing one of the greatest hunts ever. Meanwhile Machiko listens random chat on her leapwave receptor from Ryushi, inadvertively to her, the chat is from the Nemesis survivors: Katherine Lara, Martin Jess and Brian Ellis, whom are calling for help. They receive response from Big Archey. a floating platform over the jungles of Bunda, which is the same planet in which the hunt is to be. The platform's administrator, Kevin Vincent, is warned by a Weyland-Yutani corporative, Mr Briggs that the survivors must be on quarantine due to a possible infection.
Meanwhile, on the yautja ship, the clan is gathering and one of the last are Light-Stepper, a one-handed young yautja which uses a USMC flag as bandage. Machiko thoughlessly touches it, making him angry and make the submissive sign, losing her place in the hierarchy, the only way to regain it is fighting those at the bottom, namely Shorty. Machiko is winning but Shorty cheats and Machiko loses the fight and her place in the hunt, so she stays at the ship. As the Nemesis APC lands on Big Archey, a monkey-like creature is facehugged in the jungle below and the survivors are inmediately arrested by Big Archey personnel.
Later, two surveyors, Pratt and Rembert are chased by a xenomorph and gets facehugged. Top-Knot's shuttle lands and the hunt begins, but soon they hear Mr Briggs shuttle overhead and for some reason they decide to attack humans. Lara, Jess and Ellis are interrogated by Mr. Briggs and his two bodygards, Keene and Nirasawa, about their mission data of Terminal 949. The yautja then attack the platform on that instant and Mr. Briggs, Vincent and Nirasawa go to control as Keene watches the prisioners. Lara kills Keene as he is distracted and they escape.
Machiko lies inside her room and listen the SOS from Big Archey. Learning that the hunters are killing humans, she decide to change sides and betrays the clan. She kills the ship's captain, seals the bridge and frees the captive Queen. She flew the ship towards the signal of Top-Knot's shuttle. A yautja attacks the survivors as Brian is refueling the APC, but he doses the predator in jet fuel and causes a big explosion that causes the platform to crash. Feeling bad about how his actions always causes disaster, Ellis flees, as Machiko crashes the ship in from of Jess and Lara.
After a short presentation, Machiko and the survivors are interrupted by the hunters, leadered by Top-Knot. The two-way battle turns into a three-way battle as the queen and her offspring join the fight. Machiko, Jess and Lara are saved by Ellis, now inside the MAX unit, they flee to the jungle and soon are found by Nirasawa, who is revealed to be an android, carrying a facehugged Mr Briggs.
The clan attacks again and Machiko and Nirasawa makes a stand to buy time for the others to get into the shuttle. Machiko fights and kills Shorty and Nirasawa is destroyed. Lara is trying to fly the shuttle as Machiko arrives. All are reunited and they flees as Jess puts Mr. Briggs inside the MAX unit to fight the bugs and the hunters while he is still alive. They return home together.
Reprint HistoryEdit
The series was first collected in trade paperback form under the new title of Aliens/Predator: War in May 1996, featuring a new painted cover by artist Duncan Fegredo and an introduction by Robert Sheckley. This release also collected the stories Aliens vs. Predator: Blood Time and Aliens vs. Predator: Duel.
The story was again collected, this time under the title Aliens vs. Predator: War, as part of Aliens vs. Predator Omnibus: Volume 1 in June 2007.
The complete comic was released digitally through Dark Horse Digital on February 6, 2013, reusing Fegredo's cover art from the trade paperback release.
- Aliens versus Predator: War was the first Aliens vs. Predator comic to use the expanded form of the franchise title, with the full "versus" conjunction.
- The way in which the two surveyors from Bunda Survey are Facehugged is very similar to the scene in Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem were Buddy Benson and his son Sam get chased and Facehugged.
- Theoretically, the Warrior aliens on Bunda should be Predaliens as Machiko freed the Queen inside the ship and it proceed to impregnate the crew.

Lovereading4kids Price £15.50In Stock
Delivery time 1-2 weeks
Nelson English International Teacher's Resource Book 4 by John Jackman, Wendy WrenThe Teachers Resource Book will show how the course provides an underpinning structure to the teaching of English, focusing particularly on the knowledge, skills and understanding of writing, while giving ample opportunity for reading, listening and speaking. Notes are given on how new skills and concepts are introduced slowly and progressively, and it is never assumed that a concept has been mastered simply because it has been introduced before. The teacher is able to monitor and estimate progress and attainment in a constant and convenient way as assessment is an important component of the pupil material. Opportunities are constantly offered for reinforcement and revision, and when related skills and concepts are being introduced the activities are designed to allow for earlier material to be revisited.

"Energy follows thought. What are your thoughts? Do you have self-defeating negative mental chatter? Do you have habits, fears, perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, which hinder you from being "all you can be"? As a hypnotherapist I use hypnosis as part of a multidisciplinary approach to help my clients rewrite the stories in their sub-conscious mind. I also employ my 30 plus years as a Shamanic Healer to assist my clients in being all they were created to be. Reiki and Chakra balancing are also employed when appropriate. Powerful assistance comes with Past Life Regression and Soul Retrieval."

Vanilla planifolia is an economically important orchid that has been cultivated for its flavoring pods. Though it is propagated using stem cuttings, this method is labour-intensive, time consuming and not economically viable. With the increasing demand for Vanilla vines, there is a need to search for an alternative way to mass produce this plant species. In recent years, the propagation using tissue culture techniques has shown advantages compared with conventional methods. Therefore, we endeavour to provide an update on the recent propagation aspect of V. planifolia.

Andy Murray advanced to the 4th Round of Wimbledon after beating Marcos Baghdatis in 4 sets, 7-5 3-6 7-5 6-1 at 11:02pm when play would of been suspended if he hadn't of served it out.
At 8:12pm Andy Murray completed a tough first set full of drama and suspense, it was at this moment most of us thought the Brit would now up the gears and sprint through the next 2 sets, however a blend of excellent play by the Cyprusian and some untimely errors from Murray meant they levelled at one set all. It was now clear this match wouldnt finish with the current light outside, the umpire announced the roof would be closed for the remainder of the match or until the play curfew of 11pm.
After a 36 minute break, at 9:40pm the world number 4 came out and served to love, to open the third set proceedings under the bright lights of the centre court roof. The tennis was dicey from both players with break point chances on Baghdatis's first service game but it was Baghdatis that drew the first blood under the roof when he sent a superb forehand down the line with the Brit moving very stiffly. After giving himself a right talking too, Andy managed to start producing the tennis he is known for, backhand down the line, passing shots and of course his beloved drop shot that really highlighted the cyprusian's tiring footwork. Murray managed to break back and apply immense mental pressure on the world number 42's serve to break and take the third set with a passing shot that sent the crowd into a frenzy!
It was now that the pressure really did build on Andy, at 10:35pm he had 25 minutes to finish the match, or suffer a 2 day delay in which his opponent could regroup! The early stages of the set showed the mental toll the third set loss had taken on Bagdatis, his footwork was cumbersome and his groundstrokes were much less penetrating so it was no surprise that 14 minutes later at 10:49pm Murray was 3-0 up! Rumours started to float around that play could continue up to ten minutes after eleven if an end was in sight, at 10:59pm the Brit had managed to gain a 5-1 advantage and was serving for the match, with the clock ticking it felt like mission impossible, however with the world number 4 around nothing is impossible, saving some of his best serves for last, he served the match out to love finishing at 11:02pm!
There were a couple of points throughout the match in which Murray had a clear advantage but somehow managed to drop a tennis ball out of his pocket to force a replay of the point and after the second event even the award of the point to the cyprusian, though the Brit did show nerves of steel having a point taken away to go 30-30 he fired down his fastest serve of the match so far. Andy will face Marin Cilic in the 4th round, second match on court 1 on Monday, he will really need to up his game if he is to advance but our man loves a challenge!

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to devices used for protecting vegetable crops from damage by birds or other vegetable eating wild animals.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Conventional nets tied from filaments or yarn or nets extruded from monofilic plastic strands act as a sort of access block, i.e. they block access to the parts of plants located behind the net. This, however, does not prevent birds from causing considerable damage without slipping through the net. Small birds attempt to slip through, thereby making a very narrow mesh necessary. However, this raises the cost of making the nets. Wide mesh nets have the additional disadvantage that some animals become entangled in them and are unable to free themselves.
Attempts are being made, therefore, to design such protective devices so that they will have a frightening effect on animals, thereby causing them to avoid objects covered with such devices. Another possibility consists in camouflaging the sources of food so that the animals will no longer recognize them as such. A certain deterring effect may be achieved by means of the so-called bird deterrent bands. These are bands approximately 5-8 cm wide in brilliant colors, such as yellow, red or orange or made of shiny aluminum foil. The deterrent effect is present, however, in the immediate vicinity of the bands. The intervals or uncovered spaces between the bands are unprotected.
It is the object of the invention to provide a flat surface material having both a deterrent and a camouflaging effect, said material being producible relatively inexpensively, capable of covering large areas at minimum expense per unit area and is easily handled.
The process to produce the net according to the invention proceeds in new directions and provides improvements over known processes. A process is described in CH-PS 515.109 or Colijn et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,652 by which film nets with flat intersections or knots and webs may be produced from a solid film of a thermoplastic, invention proceeds in new directions and provides improvements overknown processes. A process is described in CH-PS 515.109 or Colijn et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,652 by which film nets with flat intersections or knots and webs may be produced from a solid film of a thermoplastic, partially crystalline synthetic material in a relatively simple and inexpensive manner. According to this process, a biaxially oriented film is provided with parallel rows of slits, with the slits mutually overlapping between two adjacent rows. As the result of a heat shrinking process, the material located adjacent to the individual slits contracts into knots and webs which are thicker than the original film, while simultaneously opening the slits. The result is a film net having excessive weight per unit area and relatively low strength in relation to its intended purpose. This patent, however, also teaches the option of executing the heat shrinking process while simultaneously expanding the slit sheet in order to selectively expand the openings created by the shrinking process. However, because of the combination of the expansion with the heat shrinking process, deformation takes place at a temperature far in excess of the fusing range of the plastic. At this temperature, no increase in strength results from the extension and the knots are also drawn which weakens them, so that the net created is unsatisfactory with respect to strength. This disadvantage is eliminated by the invention wherein the film net, shrunk and cooled after the heat shrinking process, is again heated to temperatures of from 40� C. to 50� C. below the crystallite melting point of the plastics material, and is stretched in the longitudinal direction. Because of the differential material distribution between the knots and the web, the alter is drawn into a thin mesh, while the knots remain essentially undrawn.
In the Fields et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,505,157 there is disclosed a net made of a thermoplastic synthetic material in which the knots of the mesh are not oriented, while the webs are oriented. The specific difference in strength between the oriented and disoriented material is equalized by the thickening of the mesh knots. The knots, however, are not concentrated in a flat configuration, but are instead in the shape of pearls so that the visible surface area of hte net is not optimal in relation to the weight per unit area.
The invention shall be described by way of reference to the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a top view of a net according to the invention in the unexpanded state;
FIG. 2 is the net of FIG. 1 in the expanded state;
FIG. 3 is a section through the net on line 3--3 in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 schematically depicts two intermediate stages in the production process of the net according to the invention.
FIG. 1 represents the approximate state of the net when it is loosely placed on a table without the application of an external force. The mesh 10 of the net in this state form highly extended rhombi. The webs of the mesh are in the form of thin, highly extended filaments 11, while the intersections or knots 12 of the mesh are in the form of flat platelets. The net is preferably produced in the form of sheeting, whereby the mesh 10 is located advantageously parallel to the longitudinal direction of the sheet of the commercial product. The sheet may then be laterally expanded with the application of only a slight force. In the unexpanded state, the sheet may be wound in a compact form onto a core roll.
A particular characteristic of the net of the invention is the lamina shape of the knots 12. In relation to the filament-like web 11, the knots 12 offer a large visible area. The knots 12 are also very thin in relation to their area so that for a given amount of material of the web a maximum in surface area is produced. If a synthetic plastic material is used, the surface will reflect the light. With a relatively uniform distribution of the knots 12 over the surface area to be covered, such as produced by the optimum expansion of the net, the net will be visible from a large distance. This is particularly true when the plastic material is pigmented with a deterrent color covering, such as yellow, orange or red, or possibly even white. What is most important is the impression made by the net on a passing flock of birds. Because the ripening periods of fruit, berries, and the like in part coincide with the migration habits of birds, the harvests are decimated primarily by flocks of such migrating birds. It has been found that these birds do not settle on crops covered by nets according to the invention. Whether this is due to a deterrent effect or whether the birds do not recognize the supply of food available under the net, is evidently immaterial in view of the fact that the crop remains intact.
The deterrent action with respect to birds is further enhanced by the fact that the lamina of the knots 12 are rotated out of the plane of the net during the expansion of said net and that they then occupy extensively random orientation, as indicated in FIG. 3. For a bird passing overhead, this represents a highly disquieting image which acts as a deterrent. For this reason, it is not necessary to make the mesh small enough so as to prevent certain species of birds from slipping through the mesh.
The production of an embodiment of a net according to the invention shall be hereinafter explained with reference to FIG. 4 by way of an example. The invention itself is, however, not restricted to the specific initial material or the process described.
For the example, a biaxially oriented sheet of film 13 of polypropylene was used. The film has a weight per unit area of approximately 270 g/m2, corresponding to a thickness of approximately 0.3 mm. The film is provided with approximately 28,000 slits/m2 with a slit length s of 8 mm. The slits 14 are arranged in aligned rows parallel to the longitudinal direction of the sheet of film 13, with d1, the distance between the slits in the longitudinal direction being 4 mm and d2, the distance between the slits in the transverse direction being 2.9 mm, whereby the slits 14 of two adjacent rows are offset with respect to each other so that their ends overlap. The sheet of film provided with slits in the manner described above is exposed to a heat shrinking process in a known manner in the direction of the sheet, under tensile stress. The plastic material shrinks in the process in the manner determined by the slits 14, whereby the area elements 15 between the ends of the slits in the same row constrict themselves into a flat intersection or knot lamina 17, while forming the openings 19. The result is a film net 20 with an opening cross section of approximately 50% and a hole density of approximately 11,000 per m2, as indicated in the bottom section of FIG. 4.
The structure of the plastic material is characterized in a manner known to those skilled in the art by the following processes taking place subsequently to each other: orientation of the film, shrinking, cooling. The process and the film net are described in CH-PS 515.109 and Colijn et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,652. The film net is subsequently drawn by a drawing process in the known manner at a temperature (40�-50� C.) below the crystalline melting point of polypropylene, in the direction of the sheet. Because of the lesser mass or cross section of the filament shaped parts 18 as compared with the knot lamina 17, it is essentially the filaments 18 that are stretched, while the shape of the knot lamina 17 remains essentially unchanged.
In this manner, longitudinally extended meshes 10 in the form of rhombi are produced, with their four sides 11 having a length of approximately 45 mm. They have a cross-sectional area of approximately 0.08 mm2 at their thinnest location. The lamina of the knots 12 have a thickness of approximately 0.350 mm, are 8 to 9 mm long and approximately 2 mm wide. The length of the mesh on a diagonal parallel to the longitudinal direction of the sheet under these conditions is about twice the length of the sides, while the diagonal in the transverse direction is negligibly small, as shown in FIG. 1. The sides 11 represent in pairs the continuation of the lamina of the knots 12 in the longitudinal direction of the sheet. The commercial sheet is rolled out with a width of approximately 1 m, at a weight per unit area of approximately 30-35 g/m2.
During the placing of the net over the plant crop to be protected, the originally approximately 1 m wide sheet may be expanded to a width of approximately 8 m in the transverse direction, whereby the maximum is defined by the state in which the two diagonals of the mesh 10 are approximately equal. In actual use, however, the sheet will be extended only to about 5.5 to 6 m in width. Greater expansion offers little advantae because the loops are under stress so that the mesh may break and the parts of plants upon which the mesh is suspended are placed in danger of breaking. In case of an expansion of 5.5 to 6 times the orignal width, sufficient yield remains in the mesh to protect both the net and the plants when the wind agitates the latter. Due to the slight restoring force of the deflected sides of the mesh loops, the net conforms and attaches itself well to the physical configuration of the crops, particularly in the securing of the net against the trunk of plants over the ground.
The net spread in the manner described above contains approximately 450 to 550 knots lamina per m2 of the covered surface, each having an area of approximately 17 mm2 but weighing only 6 g/m2. The lamina are widely visible, especially if the plastic material is colored yellow. The optical effect is enhanced additionally by the rotation of the knot lamina 12 from the plane of the net. This yields a maximum optical return in relation to the material consumed. The lowered weight per unit area translates into a reduced weight to be supported by the plants. Access to air and light is only negligibly affected.
The removal and destruction of the net is accomplished without difficulty. If necessary, additives may be incorporated in the plastic, such as, for example, means for protection against ultraviolet radiation, thereby retarding the disintegration of the net when exposed to the sun. Also, additives designed to provide the timed disintegration of the net following the harvest period may also be incorporated, thereby obviating the necessity of collecting the net thereafter.
The numerical data presented in the example of the embodiment described hereabove correspond to an example taken from a plurality of types of nets. They may vary within wide limits, e.g. with respect to the thickness of the original film, which may amount to between 50 and 500 g/m2, the length of the sides of the mesh loops, which vary between 15 and 80 mm, the ara of the lamina of the knots which may vary between 5 and 25 mm2. The ratio of the length of the mesh loop sides 11 to the length of themesh knots 12 advantageously may amount to between 5:1 and 8:1 and the ratio of the cross sections of the mesh sides 11 to the mesh knots 12 advantageously amounts to between 1:12 and 1:20.
In another actual example, the initial material consists of a biaxially oriented sheet of polypropylene film with a weight per unit area of approximately 180 g/m2. It is provided with approximately 50,000 slits per m2 with the dimensions of (FIG. 4.) s =4.3 mm, d1 =3.0 mm and d2 =2.7 mm. The heat shrinking process and the subsequent 20.7.78 in the longitudinal direction are performed as in the preceding example. The sides 11 are approximately 30 mm long following the drawing. THe knots of the mesh 12 have an area of approximately 3�2.5 mm.
It has been found that the most favorable conditions for the conversion of the film into a net are present when the arrangement of the slits in such that the d2 distances amount to a maximum of 3 mm, the slit length s to between 3 and 10 mm and the d1 distances to about 1/2 to 2/3 of theslit length s.

I have a question about the recipe "Chubby Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies" from mrslarkin.
From Our Friends
powered by ZergNet
This cookie does in fact have more salt than you would expect! But remember that because of its loosely-packed structure, kosher salt is less "salty" teaspoon-per-teaspoon than table salt. You might try adding just a scant teaspoon of salt and adding more as you see fit -- you can always add more, but you can't remove salt!

History may have given way to high-rise hotels, and fishing to foam parties in this former Catalonian trading port, but the region's fiery spirit is still evident, which is why Lloret de Mar is regarded as the liveliest holiday spot on the Costa Brava. As a resort, the town caters for the 18-30s and families with children. There are seemingly hundreds of British bars, discos and clubs to choose from, and the days are packed with programmes of beach frolics and fun. The resort has five rough sandy beaches, a massive water park, aquatic zoo and a theme park. For a taste of the real Spain visitors can revel in the local cuisine or gather in the town's Placa de la Vila on Saturday evenings to join in when locals dance the traditional Catalonian Sardana dance.
Resort Rating
Days are usually spent enjoying Lloret de Mar's seafront and the shingly beach that slopes sharply into the sea, making ideal conditions for a variety of water sports for holidaymakers to enjoy, from lazily pedalling boats, skimming the surface on a windsurfer, or diving into the depths. Other diversions include a host of holiday fun like go-karts, bungee jumping, a mini-train, bowling alley and horse riding. For a change of scene visitors can head off to the Waterworld aquatic park, or play a round of golf at nearby Santa Cristina de Aro. Most visitors opt for one or more sightseeing excursions during their stay; local operators, hotels and package tour companies offer a wide variety of outings from exploring Old Girona to coastal cruises and wine tasting in the Catalan countryside. Most popular are trips to the huge theme park at Salou and Marineland near Blanes, both a few hours drive away. Those who wish to get away from it all can opt for one of a series of mapped walks along the coast or to traditional villages inland.
While in Lloret de Mar, holidaymakers should be sure to dine at America, La Parrilla, Disaster Café or La Pampa Steak House. There is a wide variety of cuisine available in a plethora of restaurants and fast-food outlets, from the best of British to traditional tapas, at very reasonable prices and generally good quality. Favourites with holiday-makers are strawberries and cream, Sangria (fruited sparkling wine) and delicious dishes of paella (seafood risotto). Many of the local restaurants in the old town offer a "menu of the day" deal including two courses, dessert, bread and even wine for a few Euros. There are also tex-mex, Chinese and various other flavours to indulge in.
The nightlife in the holiday resort of Lloret de Mar is exhilarating, its hundreds of bars and 30-odd nightclubs pulsating all night, particularly along the Avinguda Just Marles I Vilarrodona strip of the old town. Night owls who stroll along here in the late evening are accosted by touts offering free tickets and drinks vouchers for the clubs, and partying here can be as cheap as it is lively. Among the more popular clubs and pubs are Bumpers, renowned for its Caribbean cocktails and glass dance floor; Moby's, where karaoke is the popular entertainment; and Tropics, the biggest and best night-spot in town where guest DJs rock the night with a mix of house, rock and trance music enhanced with laser lights and foam. Families opt for friendly "home-style" pubs in the suburb of Fenals, where kids are entertained and the favourite English soap operas are screened.
There are a multitude of shops and markets to choose from in Lloret de Mar, and plenty of time for holidaymakers to browse. The main shopping enclaves, from malls to small kiosks, are centred in the streets behind the waterfront. Wares tend to be touristy items, from souvenirs to bathing suits, and prices are generally reasonable although quality may be lacking. Some of the smaller shops close in the early afternoon hours and on Sundays, but in general visitors can shop happily from around 9am until late at night any day of the week during the busy summer season. The traditional local market is held every Tuesday on the Carrer dels Mestres, and there is a municipal market every weekday in the Carrer Senia del Rabic and Carrer Verge de Loreto.
The beach is comparatively small and becomes very over-crowded in the height of the season.
