After years of high prices which put lamb out of reach for many households, the Kiwi staple is back on the menu.
High export prices have pushed up the cost of lamb in recent years, and only months ago it was being passed up in favour of pork and chicken for the family table.
But after a slump in world prices, shoppers can pick up a leg of lamb for as little as $15 - and retailers have noticed the enthusiastic response.
Pak'nSave and New World owners Foodstuffs have watched lamb sales climb 10 per cent over recent months.
And a spokesman for Countdown owner Progressive Enterprises, Luke Schepen, said high prices seenseveral months before had now stabilised.
"Around Christmas, when we were seeing an increase in prices, we did see people looking at cheap proteins such as chicken and pork, and lamb was really becoming an item for a special occasion."
Andrew Murray, who owns The Milford Butcher in Auckland, said customers started to balk when a standard leg of lamb hit $55 last year.
"It really did scare a lot of people and it became a luxury cut.
"A lot of people were definitely frightened by the price and started using alternatives."
A leg of lamb now costs about $15 to $18 a kilogram.
Some supermarket chains have been discounting lamb to around $9 and $10 a kilo - down from $22-$23 a kilo just before Christmas.
"People have have noticed that the price has come down," Mr Murray said.
Lamb prices hit a record $156.70 a head in September last year, but look likely to average $114.75 a head in the current 2011/12 year, according to Beef and Lamb New Zealand.
The general outlook for 2012-13 is for per head prices to fall by another 10 per cent.
The price of a frozen leg of lamb exported to Britain has fallen by about 41 per cent in the past year and the price of a French-style rack of lamb to the United States has dropped by about 18 per cent over the same period.
Domestically, the price decline has been reflected in the food price index for June - the most recent figures available - which showed prices for mutton, lamb and hogget feel 1.4 per cent over the month, and were down 5.5 per cent compared with June last year.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand chairman Fred Hellaby said lamb was a high-quality product and Kiwis would be pleased to see it back in their shopping trolleys.
"Obviously it's important consumers can afford lamb again," he said.
"But that balance we want is for sheep farmers to be able to stay in business - so we hope to find that middle ground."

No funds for flight, champ to miss big game in Poland
Young sprinter from Kerala, family fear their dreams will be dashed.
Kannur, Kerala: Chinchu Jose will miss the World Junior Athletics Championships in Poland, because her family failed to raise enough money to fly her to New Delhi, from where the Indian team leaves for the tournament.
The World Junior Championship begins at Bydgoszcz in Poland on Tuesday.
Chinchu, 17, attended the Asian Junior Athletic Championship at Jakarta last month and had won bronze in 4x400 metre relay. "She was to take part in the same event in Poland," Chinchu's coach Tomi Cherian told IANS.
Chinchu is a student of Kannur Sports Division, a sports training school, which produced athletes like P T Usha and M D Valsamma.
"Chinchu along with other team members were to leave for Poland from New Delhi on Saturday. She had been asked to report in Delhi by 1630 hrs IST on Friday," said her father C J Jose, a farmer at Balal in Kasargod district.
Chinchu and Jose were planning to leave for New Delhi by train, Wednesday.
"I had even arranged the money for the travel by selling some gold ornaments. But when we contacted her team's coach in Delhi a day before leaving by train, he said that her passport would have to be submitted at least three days prior to their travel to Poland for visa requirements," said Jose.
Jose said he tried to courier the passport to Delhi but courier companies said that they would not accept passport as a consignment. The only way left for Chinchu was to take a flight to Delhi, but Jose found it impossible to raise money for the ticket.
"I told them that availing a loan to meet travel expenses was inadvisable. They are very poor and would not be able to repay it," said Cherian.
Jose said that officials wanted that after the Jakarta championship Chinchu should have come directly to Delhi instead of going to Kerala.
"But if she had not returned, she would have missed her Class XI examination. The officials are of the view Chinchu should have opted out of the examination. How can this be? What would happen to her future if she disregarded the studies?" says Jose.
Chinchu who was eagerly looking forward to the world championship is crestfallen. "We did not find any means to raise the money for the flight ticket," she says.
Jose is also worried as Indian team officials told him that Chinchu could face a ban as she had failed to turn up to be part of the team for the championship.

Pressley clutch, Pisgah advances
GREENSBORO — In crucial moments of a game when the outcome hangs in the balance, big time players step up and make big time plays.
Wednesday night was senior point guard Sheridan Pressley's moment to step up and make several big time plays for the Pisgah varsity girls basketball team.
Pressley made five of six free throws in the final 21.1 seconds to guide the Black Bears to a 50-45 win in the girls' semifinal of the NCHSAA Class 3-A West Regional at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center.
"We knew Stephanie Watts was their best shooter and she was hard to contain," said Pressley. "It took a collective team effort to get this win. At the end of the game, I want the ball in my hands."
The No. 2 seed Black Bears (28-1), which have won 24 consecutive games, will meet No.1 seed Hickory (28-0) in Saturday's 3-A Girls West Regional championship at 2 p.m. in the Special Events Center.
Pressley, who was 9-for-10 from the free throw line, finished with a team-high 18 points for the Black Bears, while sophomore Brooklyn Allen (11 rebounds) scored 17 and junior Sydney Singleton chipped in nine, including a trey from the left side with 1:47 left in the game to give Pisgah a 43-42 lead. Senior Mariah Lewis only scored four points but she had pulled down a blue-collar 12 rebounds.
Weddington led 10-7 at the end of the first quarter and extended its lead to 12-7 in the early moments of the second quarter. The Black Bears, however, put together a 10-0 run to take a 17-12 lead with 4:46 left.
However, momentum quickly shifted back to Weddington when the Warriors finished the first half with a 7-0 run and took a 19-17 lead into halftime.
Pisgah could not get back the lead, trailing 33-28 going into the final eight minutes and even faced an eight point deficit (37-29) with 5:31 left to go in regulation.
Pressley, Lewis and Allen rallied Pisgah for a 21-8 run for the remainder of the game to seal the girls' second consecutive berth into the regional championship game.
"Second time this season that we played a top-ranked opponent and were down," said Pisgah Head Coach Brandon Holloway. "And in both situations, Pressley and Lewis have found a way to rally this team back and win the game. This team has so much heart. Against a talented opponent like Weddington, they kept fighting back and found a way to pull this out."
Watts finished with a game-high 26 points for Weddington.
"I had my hands full with Watts," said Allen. "I forced a lot of bad shots against her in the first half. But coach got me to settle own at halftime. It all fell into place from there."

Thanks a mill SteelRose…!
Ok some very basic ones for ye that have been getting me confused…
On your site your parent page 'Challenges' cant be navigated to but obviously the children pages can. How do you do that…? On my page I dont want the parent pages to be navigable (Is that a word…?) just like yours…! Check them out here…. http://www.viewdrogheda.ie
On the front page of my site at the moment I just have a basic gallery setup. What I would like to have is a portfolio style page so that when you click an image it go's to a page on the site instead of just to that image..! I cant seem to get the whole portfolio think to work at all…!
Ok and finally (for the moment)... To change the colours of various aspects of the site I assume its editing some css file that will do the job for me..? Same for text styles…???
Sorry again for hassling you. Really appreciate your help on this. Love your site by the way. Great name too… didnt know what to expect..! Haha. I've worked in an Architects office for years and have made some basic models with C4D . Your tutorials reminded me how much I like using that package but as of late its rarely used…
Thanks again
We can answer those questions without needing the file. (although there may be easier ways if SteelRose has more insight)
The "challenges" parent page not being clickable – just create a custom menu item names whatever you are calling it and add it to the menu with no link attached to it.
The Gallery linking to pages – that should be really easy if you have set up the page as a portfolio (read the documentation) and it should go there automatically. It looks like you have assigned your home page to a gallery NOT a portfolio (again could be wrong and SteelRose may have a better idea).
Colours and text styles – you are right these will be changed using the CSS files (Style for most although there maybe custom CSS files for certain elements). Also in the admin panel of the theme there should be options to change certain fonts, sizes and colours there also.
Am sure SteelRose will answer your queries accurately but that should get you going for now. Good luck
Cheers AjexFjord, pretty much spot on. Couple of little bits I can add that may be useful are…..
For the subs menu items, as AjexFjord said, just create a custom link in your menu, to have it link nowhere just put a # into the URL box. Then place the pages you want under it in the menu. To make any pages a sub page of that custom link, place them under it in the menu and you will see it move slightly to the right, that means it is a child of the above one.
With the openning page, Again Ajexford is spot on, create a page with the template style as portfolio. Then in settings > reading set your front page to the portfolio. When you add items to your porfolio you MUST add a featured images otherwise the item will not show up in it. Note. Portfolio pages can only be collections of images, a video or audio. But you can set text in the in the excerpt box.
For fonts and colours, there is nothing built into the theme itself for changing them so it would need to be CCS .
Hope this is useful, let me know if you have any more.
P.s. Thanks for the kind words regarding my site.

If you think that's the case Jeff, can you please contact Support to let them know? Thanks!
I did, and so far no one has yet responded.
Just a FYI . You can also just add .sep{border:0 !important;} to your custom css under theme options.
I also purchased this and very unhappy not to have the support anymore. Having trouble with IE and the theme. Contacted author and have not had any luck. Anyone have a direct email for the author.
Many thanks for the detailed replies..! I've implemented some of what you described but haven't had the time to do other bits so I might be back with more questions.
Thanks again and sorry for the late reply..!

[Theme name removed] It looks exactly like Elastico. I bought it and looked into it, and I'm getting a feeling that it was actually Elastico, modified, and re-uploaded by a different author. I'm not gonna say he stole it and it's a rip off and making money off it. I found that it comes with lots of mistake that the "re-uploader" did not fix and leaving it a lot of mistakes throughout all the files. I'm not saying he stole it in any way, and you're free to make your own judgement, for $40—which I think is really expensive for a theme has not even been fixed. But again, anyone can make mistakes.
Hi Jeff! i love elastico – and beause no longer available – it would be nice to get a hint how i can find the 'new elastico' kind regards Thomas
Whether or not Elastico was a rip-off is not my decision, but I really liked that theme. Unfortunately I was too late to purchase it before it was pulled off the market, and I have yet to see anything on the marketplace that resembled it (unless that one too was pulled). I would just like to purchase the legitimate theme if it's still available. I just cannot bear to consider WowWay as an alike option. Does anyone have any information on the 'legit' elastico, or something mighty close to it?

There's focus. http://themeforest.net/item/focus-minimal-wordpress-theme/3293567
up to you to judge, but this theme comes with an awful lot of issues, even after fixes, which might cause more headaches than anything else.
You guys all look pretty helpful so a quick question,
I have created loads of different items within the portfolio yet when I click them it says page not found, any light that can be shed?

Tony Thornton passes
"The Punching Postman" Tony Thornton, died last night at Cooper Hospital in Camden, NJ. He had been riding on his motorcycle a week or so ago and was hit by a bus. His helmut was knocked off but there was no brain damage, just damage to his body along the road. "Tony was a solid pro, but I remember him more for being a solid person," said promoter J. Russel Peltz. "He was a standup guy and we never had a written contract between us. When his manager Joe Gramby died in 1990, Tony came back to my office that day after the funeral and we sat around and talked about his future. I told him that all the money offered from other promoters would be "on the table" and that I would take 10% and the other 90% would be his purse. We shook hands and that was that. A few hours later I called him on the phone and told him I thought I had sold myself too cheaply. He said: 'I thought so, too.' What are the odds on another fighter saying that today?. So we agreed on 80% for him, 20% for me. No papers, just a handshake. And wherever we went, fighting Chris Eubank in Scotland, James Toney in Tulsa, or Roy Jones in Pensacola, he always told the lead promoter: 'Just give all the money ! to Russell and he'll take care of things.'
"Midway through 1994, some Philly guys approached Tony, telling him I couldn't get him any more big fights and that he should leave me and go with them. So Tony called me for advice. I told him to ask these people to give him $5,000.00 to sign with them and if that happened, I would walk away. He called back a few days later and said the guys wouldn't do it. So I told him to ask them for $2,500.00. Still, they refused. So we stayed together and I put him in with Lenzie Morgan and Darren Zenner, both fights at the Blue Horizon. He barely beat Morgan, then KO'd Zenner in 2 rounds for the USBA title, making him the mandatory for Roy Jones. His next fight, against Roy, was for $250,000.00 for the 168-pound title, his biggest purse ever. By that time, his brittle bones had gotten the best of him and his hands were constantly in pain, but he went through with the fight, lost, then retired.
"So when people ask me what I think of Tony Thornton, I always tell them he was a wonderful fighter, but he was a better person."

Doing what comes naturally
Page Tools
Was it just 19 years ago that Melbourne had its first arts festival?
It was named after another place (Spoleto, in the rolling Umbrian hills) and had an Italian composer (Gian Carlo Menotti) as its artistic director. Publicity at the time assured us that the festival would make Melbourne "the cultural capital of the world". Twenty festivals on the morning after the opening night before this hollow boast rings with an even more inopportune tone: the arts can never be measured in cultural-capital worth, and festivals are, if anything, designed to prove risk as against safe box-office; popularity is a byproduct.
The biggest risk in 1986 was starting a festival at all. That it has succeeded and flourishes is as much a credit to those who began it as those who have nurtured it through the years: the legion of public and private providers who have funded it; the nine directors who have determined it; the boards, managers and staff who have controlled it; and, most important, the performers and creators who have constituted it. Without this synthesis of pragmatism, vision, practicality and creativity, Spoleto would never have made the transition to the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
There is another group, though, essential to festive survival: audiences. They have evolved along with the event as, year by year, the festival has expanded its natural physical and cultural boundaries to embrace not only bums on seats but vibrant street activities dancing and singing and celebrating the nights away. Melbourne is a very different city from what it was in 1986, when events were largely confined to the Arts Centre and in venues in the city over the river. It was a town without Southbank and Federation Square; a place where Moomba was considered festive enough. Now we have festivals galore (some might dare say too many) and, as their cornerstone, the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
Perhaps the greatest tribute we can pay is to say that the festival has earned its treasured place in this city's ever-expanding life. In spite of its evolutionary and revolutionary aspects, which must always continue to surprise and shock, it has become commonplace, in the best sense of the word. Basically, we expect it to happen, even though we don't know what to expect. As the 20th festival gets under way, we wish it and its new artistic director, Kristy Edmunds, all the best.

ThanksUSA Continues Partnership with Folds of Honor to Award Scholarships to Military Families
10 Aug, 2011, 17:24 ET from ThanksUSA
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ThanksUSA, a charitable effort to mobilize Americans to "thank" our active-duty troops through need-based scholarships, last Friday awarded 300 scholarships totaling nearly $1 million to the spouses and children of active-duty military for the 2011 scholarship season.
ThanksUSA continues its partnership with the Folds of Honor Foundation, and thanks to a $190,000 contribution from Folds of Honor and a matching $190,000 contribution from ThanksUSA, 125 of those scholarships worth $3,000 each will be awarded to children and spouses of wounded or killed-in-action veterans. The Folds of Honor Foundation provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving in the armed forces.
"We are thrilled to be awarding another 300 scholarships this year to the deserving families of our men and women in uniform with the tremendous help of Folds of Honor," said Michele Stork, executive director of ThanksUSA. "We truly appreciate the generosity of our corporate donors and partners; we're honored that they have chosen to contribute to our scholarship program and support America's armed forces."
ThanksUSA and Folds of Honor began working together in 2009 to support the educational needs of military families. Today, the relationship between the two groups continues to grow, with Folds of Honor serving as one the largest contributors to ThanksUSA's scholarship program.
"We are honored to work with ThanksUSA and support our military families by providing post-secondary scholarships. Working together, we are honoring and empowering those families who have sacrificed so much," said Major Dan Rooney, founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation.
ThanksUSA began in 2005 when two Virginia schoolgirls set out to mobilize Americans to thank active-duty troops for defending our freedoms. Since 2006, ThanksUSA has awarded more than $7.5 million in need-based, post-secondary scholarships to nearly 2,500 spouses and children of military members serving on active-duty status. Scholarships have been awarded in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to families representing all branches of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, and the families of the wounded and fallen.

Jim Myers, who played for the Vols in 1941, 42 and 1946 after a serving in World War II passed away at the age of 92 earlier this summer. Myers spent 25 years as an assistant to Tom Landry with the Dallas Cowboys.
Here is the obituary written by Tom Mattingly for the Knoxville News Sentinel.
Jim Myers, the Tennessee guard whose playing career spanned the pre- and post-World War II eras and who had a distinguished career as Tom Landry's 25-year assistant with the Dallas Cowboys, died July 17 at his home in Dallas. He was 92, enduring a long struggle with Parkinson's Disease.
Mr. Myers, a native of Madison, W.Va., who wore No. 42 with the Vols, lettered at Tennessee in 1941 and 1942 and again in 1946, playing in the 1943 Sugar Bowl and the 1947 Orange Bowl.
During World War II, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and played football at Duke University under the V-12 Program. After the war, he served in occupied Japan, returning to UT for his senior season.
After serving as line coach at Wofford College (1947) and as line coach and offensive coordinator at Vanderbilt (1948) and UCLA (1949-56) under Red Sanders, Mr. Myers became coach at Iowa State University in 1957, compiling a 4-5-1 record. He later coached at Texas A&M from 1958-61, succeeding Bear Bryant. His record there was 12-24-4.
Mr. Myers coached at Dallas from 1962-86, helping craft superior offensive lines. Landry hired him a day after he was fired at A&M, according the Dallas Morning News. He coached for the Cowboys longer than anyone who worked for Landry. During his years with the team, Mr. Myers participated in 20 straight winning seasons, five Super Bowls, and two world championships.
"I was helping Tom put a staff together," recalled Mr. Myers in a 1986 interview, "and suddenly I was the offensive line coach. That coaching job was the best thing that ever happened to me in my career."
Over the years, Landry had rewarded Mr. Myers for his loyalty, first making him offensive coordinator (1970-77), then promoting him to assistant head coach in 1977.
Mr. Myers also worked for Landry off the field as well, running his Fellowship of Christian Athletes golf tournament each spring.
In 1999, Mr. Myers earned the FCA's first Tom Landry Excellence of Character Award.
Services were held in Dallas on July 23.

Hi all, I put on a second deep brood super three weeks ago, and went back today for a look-see and WOW they had drawn all that comb out and packed it full of honey with the middle frames being about 1/2 brood 1/2 honey.
I quickly got my super on for honey and have a few more ready.
For them to draw out that much comb and pack all ten frames with honey that quickly (it was beautiful!) when should I go back and check the super? I don't want to slow them down, as I have heard that bothering them too much causes a honey-storing hiatus, but I also want to keep them in empty supers to fill... any experienced guys out there willing to help with an opinion? Bush what do you think?

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
After years of mediocre service and a recent job loss we decided to eliminate Dish. From the time I called it was as if the woman was mocking me because no matter how many times I told her I just want to cancel, she kept offering me alternatives, even giggling as she did so. She even had the nerve to lecture me in a condescending manner on how things may seem bad when you lose your job, that it happens to all of us, etc and at one point had the nerve to ask if someone else in the home had a job so we could continue to pay for their service. I ended up screaming and begging her to just cancel my service.
I also asked for boxes to return the equipment, both verbally and in writing, which never came. I emailed them about this in order to leave a paper trail and only got a canned response and threat to have to pay $17 for postage. I asked for a street address so I could return it myself and they never responded. This is the most ridiculous situation I've ever been in with a business this size and I've dealt with CenturyLink which I thought was the worst until now. I intend to make a full report to the Better Business Bureau and the FCC.
I can only advise people not to use them in the first place.

Can an adult dog be socialized? Or learn to play?
My 3yo rescue is VERY under socialized- and while she's made leaps and bounds of progress she's still pretty timid and shuts down and becomes fearful/avoidant around a myriad of random things - I know having a better adjusted dog around helps a lot but I'm not sure I'm ready to have 2 dogs yet - can I foster maybe? Or anyone have any other pointers?
It's breaking my heart seeing how scared and nervous she gets, also knowing how much she's missing out on- she has no idea what toys are and only plays after I blow in her ear for 10mins lol

I just received a marking tube from Brushy the other day to try marking again. Dark queens are a little harder to find than the nice bright Italian colored ones (for me anyways) Gonna start out on some drones to get the hang of it.
I don't understand the purpose of marking queens or thinking she needs to be found everytime you check a hive. :?
I don't know first hand, but I heard that marking queens was gay...right Bjorn?? :-DScott

I'm not sure if it's just my bottle but the vacuum cleaner wasn't very full. :-( I'll still get the most use possible out of this. The other items are nice. I like the cleanser and the lotion. The BB might be a little light for my skin but I made it work. The pouch was larger that I was anticipating (I LOVE the design, too!) I was expecting the mirror to be like a compact, like flip to open but it's just a mirror, which is fine. All-in-all I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. I'd love to purchase again since, like I said before, everything else is pretty much "free with the vacuum cleaner." Maybe I'll give the bag and mirror as a gift... Hmm :-)5
This kit is a steal! You get some high end products for a relatively low price. Plus, the bag and mirror that come with them are super cute! The cleanser seems to work really well. I do wish this was a a little bit bigger sample, but I have gotten at least 25 uses out of it so far. The lotion and BB Creams are great. The Vacuum Cleaner is why I really ended up buying this kit. It's a great product that makes yours face feel great. I won't say that it is a miracle worker, but I definitely notice a different in the size of my pores after using it. Overall, I recommend getting this kit! It's great products for a very fair price.4
I was so excited because this is a very good deal! you get the small samples and the cute bag... to try all of this... I loved the mask, it cleanses and tightens my nose pores, I don´t know how that happens, but my nose IS cleaner, I want to use this every day! And you get to try the bb (not so matte, but at least is free lol), and the cleanser and the mattifying lotion. Great bundle! So happy :)5

If you play the fabulous game that is 'media word association' and say 'Fox', invariably the associated word everyone comes up with is 'News'. However, it's worth remembering that '20th Century' is an equally valid response.
So that's why no one should be too surprised that Fox's Upfronts 2016 (you can see elsewhere what NBC and USA are up to this year) is chock full of 'synergy' with Fox's established 'brands'. In other words, spin-offs, adaptations and remakes of things you've already seen and have heard about.
Brace yourself then because, after the jump, on top of the almost original sounding Making History, The Mick, Son of Zorn, Shots Fired, APB and Pitch, we also have another music drama from Empire's Lee Daniels (Star), an 'event remake' of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, sequels to Prison Break and 24, and TV series adaptations of Lethal Weapon and… wait for it… The Exorcist.
The power of Christ will not compel you to watch that last one.

Amelia HTML version
The Narrative Continued. More Of The Touchstone
Booth made a proper acknowledgment of Miss Matthew's civility, and then
renewed his story. "We were upon the footing of lovers; and Amelia threw off her
reserve more and more, till at length I found all that return of my affection which
the tenderest lover can require.
"My situation would now have been a paradise, had not my happiness been
interrupted with the same reflections I have already mentioned; had I not, in
short, concluded, that I must derive all my joys from the almost certain ruin of that
dear creature to whom I should owe them.
"This thought haunted me night and day, till I at last grew unable to support it: I
therefore resolved in the strongest manner, to lay it before Amelia.
"One evening then, after the highest professions of the most disinterested love, in
which Heaven knows my sincerity, I took an occasion to speak to Amelia in the
following manner:--
"Too true it is, I am afraid, my dearest creature, that the highest human
happiness is imperfect. How rich would be my cup, was it not for one poisonous
drop which embitters the whole! O, Amelia! what must be the consequence of my
ever having the honour to call you mine!--You know my situation in life, and you
know your own: I have nothing more than the poor provision of an ensign's
commission to depend on; your sole dependence is on your mother; should any
act of disobedience defeat your expectations, how wretched must your lot be with
me! O, Amelia! how ghastly an object to my mind is the apprehension of your
distress! Can I bear to reflect a moment on the certainty of your foregoing all the
conveniences of life? on the possibility of your suffering all its most dreadful
inconveniencies? what must be my misery, then, to see you in such a situation,
and to upbraid myself with being the accursed cause of bringing you to it?
Suppose too in such a season I should be summoned from you. Could I submit
to see you encounter all the hazards, the fatigues of war, with me? you could not
yourself, however willing, support them a single campaign. What then; must I
leave you to starve alone, deprived of the tenderness of a husband, deprived too
of the tenderness of the best of mothers, through my means? a woman most
dear to me, for being the parent, the nurse, and the friend of my Amelia.---But oh!
my sweet creature, carry your thoughts a little further. Think of the tenderest
consequences, the dearest pledges of our love. Can I bear to think of entailing
beggary on the posterity of my Amelia? on our---Oh, Heavens!--on our children!--
On the other side, is it possible even to mention the word --I will not, must not,

- - Maximizing solar output (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/electrical-systems/76004-maximizing-solar-output.html)
Maximizing solar output
I have 325 watts of solar installed in 25 panels spread throughout my boat. I have 60 watts in the form of 4 15 watt canvas foldable panels strapped to my dodger, I have 4 15 watt flexible walkable panels on my cabin top in seldom transgressed areas, I have 60 watts on my companion way hatch, 10 watts on my cabin hatch and 40 watts on my forward scoop hatch. I also have 50 watts strapped to the top of my life raft and two 5 watt panels on my head scoop vent box. I have a cluster of 6 5 watt panels on my foredeck. Some of these are permanent notably the hatches, the walkable and the dodger panels. The ones on the foredeck need to be tucked away somewhere while underway. I have quite the collection of wires. I find around 1pm or so my max output is 12 Amps as read by my charge controller - that was the record peak. Normally it reads more like 6 amps. I have decided that the output is less then expected taking shading into consideration. I wonder if the batteries are full and the morningstar charge controller is only allowing as much current as required into the system or if I should somehow consolidate my wiring. I wired all the panels in parallel as they all have a useful charging voltage for lead acid batteries. I was contemplating shortening up the wires but that would only yield a 5 percent or so gain no? I have a feeling there is a lot of efficiency to be gained by rethinking and rewiring. Is it better to say wire everything up to 8 AWG wire and run that straight to the charge controller in the shortest amount of copper possible or to run independent parallel wires? There may be more seaworthiness/ redundancy in more wires. I feel like I should have seen a lot more amps from 325 watts then I have but that may be the nature of the beast...
For what it's worth, I have 380 watts of horizontally-mounted panels and normally see something like 16A on a reasonably sunny day, though the record has been over 20A (there's a Bluesky MPPT booster in there, but I saw 21A once before I installed the Bluesky unit).
Maybe there's something seriously wrong with your wiring (like severe corrosion, or severely undersized wiring). You could certainly use an ammeter to test each panel to confirm that each one is performing to spec. Otherwise, I would look at shading and shadowing: a shadow that covers 60% of one cell will cut the output of that panel by 50%.
Thats a lot of panels.. Many different types of panels is not optimum for maximium output but your output should still be much greater than you are getting If you think the batteries may be regulating try turning on some loads (lights etc) and you will see the output from the solar panels rise.
Get yourself a clamp on multimeter and measure the output from each panel. My guess is you have some defective panels or wiring somewhere. With that many wires and connections outdoors the potential for such as problem is high
Oh...no...! That's a load of panels.
Did you every try a Solar Stik? (Ok.. I'll stop. Sorry mods...) :D :)
I've not had much luck with flexible panels--but do borrow an ammeter and check the output for each panel--a clamp-on makes it much easier.
#1 Are you sure your batts will take more than 12A of charge current?
#2 I have a single 80 watt panel and regularly see about 4.6-4.8A. For 25 panels, and all that wire, mess etc. and expense you really should have considered a dedicated mount for some mono or polycrystalline panels of decent size.. Even a single 130W panel like a Sharp or Kyocera will give you around 7A of charge current.
#3 You likely have some serious shading issue with all those panels which really hurts solar output.
#4 What Model Morningstar controller are you using?
#5 How is it wired gauge wise? Where are they all tied together?
And to add to Maine Sail's questions:
#6: Are your batteries fully charged?
If so, their ACCEPTANCE, will be close to zero, which accounts for your low solar panel input.
Your questions and topics have been a source of great information to many of us on the message board. But, I say, but, there are some "basics" that you may need to want to reconsider, or to consider in the first place.
Like battery acceptance.
I'd just love to see a picture of your four million watt solar array. Really, how do you keep them attached. I am NOT kidding. Your description of your installation has me very puzzled.
All the best,
You stated in your post these panels are all wired in parallel. You may want to consider establishing serially connected banks of "like" panels where possible. This will accomplish two things:
1. clean up and simplify much of the on-deck wiring
2. multiply each solar bank voltage output while reducing the collective voltage/amperage drop due to wire loss (as you already indicated)
Let your Morningstar MPPT (assumed as not stated in your post) controller handle the useable voltage/amperage conversion.
You may also want to consider not all solar panels are equal in terms of efficiency. For instance, poly is less efficient in converting solar to voltage when compared to mono panels. Flexible panels are even less efficient than poly panels. Most advertized panel voltages are measured under optimum conditions in a controlled environment. This is not likely to compare to a "real world" implementation. It is not realistic to expect to achieve advertised performance especially in an environment whereas most everything on deck is coverd by a shadow at some point.
As an interesting confirmation, compare the input voltage/amperage to the controller vs. the output to the batteries.
I do agree with the other opinions regarding battery charge. It is very important to appropriately size your battery bank to your usage. Too small a bank will require you to deplete it too deeply during normal usage. Its like digging a hole in the ground and filling it back up....it will take more dirt to fill it than was removed to begin with.
Like others, I am very interested to see your panel installation....thats a lot of deck real estate!
If you sold your boat and bought a trimaran you could easily install 40 or 50 panels.:D
I'd love to see some pics of the solar layouts people are using, along with mounting suggestions.
This does beg the question: Where would one sit without blocking or breaking a panel?

Kilgore proposes 2-cent property tax increase
Glenn Evans
Aug. 13, 2013 at 11 p.m.
KILGORE - Residents here will pay slightly higher property taxes in the coming fiscal year if council members approve the 2-cent hike they proposed Tuesday on a unanimous vote.
Taxpayers have two chances to add their own two cents to the discussion during public hearings at Kilgore City Hall on Aug. 27 and Sept. 3.
The council also agreed Tuesday to host an Aug. 27 public hearing on the $15.5 million daily operations budget that tax rate will support.
The proposed 42-cent tax rate is expected to pull in about $11 million from property owners. The rate would bring a $420 tax bill on a $100,000 home with no exemptions claimed.
"This just means the maximum we can go is 42 cents," City Manager Scott Sellers said of the tax vote in September.
The hike was added to the budget to meet an aggressive quality-of-life agenda that includes $7.3 million in capital improvements, Sellers said.
Those include the first year of a five-year plan of both meat-and-potatoes infrastructure investment and public recreational facilities.
A sports complex at the Commerce Street baseball field will draw $1.5 million, and the first of a three-phase walking trails project is budgeted at $515,000. The trails undertaking, which eventually will link the city's northern and southern edges, is partially funded with a $196,000 grant, the budget shows.
"Kilgore's tax rate has gone from a high of, I think, 68 cents in the mid- to late '80s," Mayor Ronnie Spradlin said. "The last time the oil field crashed, we spent our reserves down to nothing. Hopefully, this time, we will take steps ahead of time."
Those steps include routine maintenance requiring the purchase of $200,000 worth of hot mix for asphalt street surfacing and $330,000 worth of concrete.
The council also wants to extend sewer lines along Texas 42, at $557,000, and complete a $2.2 million water meter replacement program.
Other revenue-gathering elements of the plan include franchise fees totaling $792,000.
Residential garbage pickup revenue will add just less than $2.2 million to city coffers.
Day-to-day expenses balance revenues at $15.6 million and include $357,000 devoted to economic development.
Other general fund spending is led by $4 million to fund the police department and $3 million for the fire department.
Another $1.6 million is earmarked for street maintenance, a 6 ½ percent rise from this year's spending there.
Also Tuesday, East South Street resident Charles Woods renewed his complaint about loud music from a downtown club that he thought had lowered the volume on weekend nights.
Woods, who has said for about two years the city's noise ordinance is not strict enough, had told the council last month that music from The Back Porch had been at a tolerable level for about two weeks.
"But, we found out the bass amplifier had been out," he said. "And they bought a new one. ... I am fed up as high as I can go. ... If y'all don't do anything at all by Friday, I will have my own sound system in my back yard. And I'm going to play it within the law. I hope they like opera music."

Interesting that U.S. oil production is apparently measured in
BTUs, which when last I heard were British Thermal Units.
BTUs now sound like some particularly repulsive
undergarment for supposedly long dark cold British
winters. I don't think they are now much in use even
in Britain; the units that is, not the undergarments,
on which I am no expert.
Almost the whole world uses metric tonnes for oil production,
does it not?

J. Cole…. is…. hot. I hate to objectify him; it is so wrong because he's so talented! And it goes against everything I believe in as a feminist. Either that, or it supports everything I believe as a feminist. I'll work that out later. J. Cole has a new song called The Cure (because, apparently, that's what he is), and he is spitting hot fire all over that awesome beat from Jay-Z and Kanye's Watch The Throne (Lift Off!) Unfortunately, there's no video so we'll just have to imagine what
J.Cole would look like if he took his shirt off more often the exciting accompanying visuals would like. Still, a pretty sweet listening session going down.
Yikes, J. said some naughty things on that one. Love it. And I'm still waiting for him to become a bigger deal! Because he's a much bigger deal than a lot of people know. #TeamColeWorld.
I'm also really hoping that we will have some more new music from him, in addition to this one. We last saw him in Melanie Fiona's video which was fun but I'm seriously gonna need more screen time from him. Stat. Oh, and like lyrically he's really impressive and kinda deep and all that.
But mainly, I'm gonna need more screen time from him.
Uh, of course I pretend I'm the girl in the video:

South Bay Amateur Radio Association (SBARA), was formed in 1976 to cater to the amateur radio communities in the Fremont, Newark and Union City in the East Bay.
The club welcomes people of all ages interested in Amateur Radio and helps them become licenced operators to enjoy the hobby first hand.
The club conducts regular monthly meetings, and invites a guest speaker to give a talk and discuss interesting projects.
The club enjoys helping children get to know all about radio sport. The club can work with local schools to setup after school activities relating to this hobby. Every year SBARA participates in the ARRL Field Day, inviting everyone young and old to join in the fun.
Club members also help local public events like the Primavera Bicycle Ride, The Hayward Zucchini Festival, and other city events, county fairs etc., by providing strategic communication to event organisers, at no cost. This has in turn helped our members develop expertise in event communication that would be invaluable for communication during emergencies. Club members work in coordination with the Fire and Police departments in the tri-cities area and are proud to be able to respond when necessary.
Please check out the detailed information provided at various sections of this website.
Continuing SBARA's tradition, we will have another fun event coming up on Saturday, April 29th, at Lake Elizabeth/Central Park. Check out the details at the link on the left panel.

Juventus are set to launch a stunning SEVENTY million pound attempt to lure Robin van Persie to Italy.
Giuseppe Marotta, the Serie A champions' general manager, has held further talks with van Persie's representatives and made it clear they will top any offer made by rivals Manchester United.
Van Persie will also be offered a five-year deal worth £190,000 a week AFTER tax.
And Juve have told his agents that they will make a £20m offer to Arsenal for his services.
Sir Alex Ferguson is confident of landing Van Persie for United, even though they are reluctant to pay in excess of £15m for a player who a) turns 29 next week, meaning his sell-on value will only diminish, b) has a poor injury record and c)has said he will not extend a Gunners contract that expires next summer.
In addition, the Reds do not want to pay the Dutch international in excess of £200,000-a-week - van Persie would want the same £220k-a-week deal as United's top earner Wayne Rooney to join them.
But Juventus, fearing that RvP is ready to go to Old Trafford, are determined to turn his head with a mind-boggling offer, in terms of transfer fee and personal terms.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini remains keen on van Persie, but the champions' hierarchy are trying to sell before they buy and have been unable to move striker Emmanuel Adebayor on to Tottenham because of his wage demands.
Also, City are not prepared to give van Persie more than £150,000-a-week.
It has all left Mancini fearing they will miss out and frustrated with the board's lack of activity.
Arsenal - who are confident of buying Spain winger Santi Cazorla from Malaga for £20m this week - want in excess of that figure for their captain, and Arsene Wenger's determined stance has left van Persie frustrated.
Juve and the two Manchester clubs have all had bids for RvP rejected, as none of them topped £15m.
Like Juventus, United seem certain to return with an improved offer, backing up Ferguson's confidence that Van Persie will choose them.
But the Italians are determined to make a last full-on assault to lure van Persie as their stellar signing ahead of their return to the Champions League.
Juve are trying to selling the move to the Dutchman by saying he can be a megastar in their iconic black and white kit, the way Zinedine Zidane was before he left for Real Madrid.

Video :: Marouane Fellaini's Headbutt On Ryan Shawcross – Stoke City vs Everton
Written By: dunny|
Dec 15, 2012
~~ There's tugging and pulling on every single set piece and corner during the course of 90+ minutes… And in no way am I justifying this, but I'm wondering what the history is between these two.
'I apologise completely to Ryan Shawcross, my team-mates and to our fans at the game,' said Everton's Marouane Fellaini.
'There was a lot of pushing and pulling going on inside the Stoke penalty area and I didn't feel I was getting any protection from the officials. Nevertheless I know I shouldn't have done what I did.'
'I have also apologised to the manager and the staff. I have no excuses, I was disappointed with the way I was being treated and I lost my temper, which was unprofessional of me.'

Hi all! I hope you all are doing good with your goals! In a few weeks, I should reach my halfway point! I am getting excited. I will then share my story along with pictures that I have been capturing the steps toward my health journey.
Libby: Nice job on the weight loss!
Adyndravo1: Yes, junk food is an evil temptation at times. It will take time to not feel hungry, but the hungry feeling quit after a couple of weeks for me. I used to cross stitch huge pictures that ended up looking like paintings. I miss that hobby. I am hoping to start that back up when I have more spare time. Maybe you can post a picture of it when you are done? I would love to see it.
Robin: Traveling is a difficult time when it comes to weight loss. I hope everything turns out good with your son's eye surgery.
Mern: The homemade veggies sounds great. Would you mind to share the recipe?
I am always looking for something new to eat to break up the boring pattern of vegetables for every meal.
Mike: Your goals are looking good this week.
Ian: Your goals are looking good this week, too. Yes, I have had good days the past 3 months, even though some have been very emotional. The three last months are starting to shine over the bad few years I allowed myself to experience. I will never allow myself to become so unhealthy that it interrupts my life again.
Mel-Mc: Welcome back! Your family reunion must have been great.
Jenn: You seem to always get your exercise goal accomplished. That is one area I am lacking in. I need to step it up and increase my exercise.
Started journey to health: April 29, 2013
As of Sept. 12, 2013:

theres so much to learn in this can someone tell me how to revise?:(
Practice exam papers. Get a revision book and revise much shorter notes out of that such as Revisewise Science.
revise wise all the way everyday
Exam papers and marking schemes are vital. If you know how the questions are normally marked then you're good. I know for science subjects i would write essays of things to explains something. In actuallity its all short and concise and marking schemes help you know what is expected. examinations.ie and studyclix paid memebrship have both of these vailable
Exam papers are like the bible when it comes to science. I actually had very few notes and all I did were exam papers at least 3 times over and I ended up getting an A
Like Bengee said, get studyclix' paid membership. I got it Friday and it is 100% worth the 25 year (for the year!)
Believe it or not it's not too hard getting an A in jc higher science (if you put your mind to it!).
The course works already give you some marks, and the science written paper has the advantage over other subjects that hardly ever do you need to go into much detail (basically, one word answers will do)
As others said, exam papers are your new BFF. From my own experience I have to admit, I crammed science (please don't do it though :P), and ended up with an A. I divided it into the three sections: Bio, Chem and Physics and did one section a day from one particular year. It's easy to see what questions come up most often and also what your strengths and weaknesses are. Focus on what you don't get but what comes up often. Notes in the copy should be more helpful than ones in the book as they contain too much unnecessary detail. Do up your own flash cards of definitions you can't remember. Make sure you understand what you're learning and do just a tiny bit each night, gradually building up and you won't even notice when you have revised the whole course.
Hope this helps, good luck :)

Former House executive producer Thomas Moran is back at Fox with a new drama project. The network has handed a script commitment with sizable penalty to St. Nick, an irreverent drama about a young Catholic priest going down a morally corrupt road for all the right reasons. Moran is writing and executive producing for 20th Century Fox TV. Moran, repped by the Shuman Co. and attorney Michael Gendler, currently consults on another 20th TV drama, the Howard Gordon-produced Legends for TNT (through Fox 21). He was on House for the medical drama's entire eight-season run, rising through the ranks from supervising to executive producer, and previously worked on JAG and NCIS.
Fox Buys Priest Drama From 'House' EP
5 Comments
This sounds like ABC's Nothing Sacred which was pretty controversial and made ABC never want another show about the Catholic church. If this makes it to air, I wonder if it will be as controversial.
Tommy is a talented and creative writer who has developed his craft on many successful series programs. These shows that have earned significant acclaim largely for his contribution. I'm sure this will be well worth watching.
The show was originally going to be an "irreverent drama" about a mullah, but Fox didn't want to come across as intolerant.
Tommy is way cuter than that picture.
Hmmm….another "irreverent" drama to attempt to entertain by an "Ayn Rand" kind ethos…going down the counter- path for the right reasons…Hmmm

I was not at all hungry when I ate this sandwich. I'd just eaten an airplane meal, which itself was shortly on the heels of lunch, but when we spied this sandwich at the Taipei airport on the way back from Bali, we had to buy one in the name of blogging.
Displayed alongside other artful but futuristic-looking baked goods, this sandwich resembled a slice of layer cake. On top, it had a graceful, savory glaze; on the sides, a nutty coating that was like a cross between the dusting on multigrain bread and an almond croissant.
Between each of the six slices was a different filling, applied lightly like a tea sandwich.
By our best estimates, the fillings included an herb butter type spread, a yummy cured fish of some kind, ham and cheese, a prosciutto-like cold cut, and what tasted like pulled pork. The sandwich lived up to its unique look; the bread tasted like a savory sponge cake, and each filling was appropriately salty and delicious. We weren't sure how to eat it, but it seemed to want to be disassembled like this, so that's what we did.
Does anyone know if this type of sandwich is common outside the Taipei airport?

Applebee's, Olive Garden face PR problem after serving alcohol to kids
The restaurant industry faces a sobering image mess: how to convince consumers it will stop accidentally serving alcohol drinks to toddlers.
This week, two of the nation's largest casual dining chains —Applebee's and Olive Garden— found themselves very uncomfortably trying to explain how alcohol ended up in kids' drinks.
Last Friday, at an Applebee's in Madison Heights, Mich., a 15-month-old boy's sippy cup was supposed to be filled with apple juice but was filled with margarita mix and alcohol. On March 31, at an Olive Garden in Lakeland, Fla., a 2-year-old was served alcoholic sangria, not orange juice.
STORY: Applebee's sued by parents of child served alcohol
STORY: Applebee's changes policies after child served alcohol
VIDEO: Toddler legally drunk after Applebee's mishap
While both kids have recovered, the $604 billion restaurant industry has not. The media has feasted on these stories at a time the industry is just starting to rebound. "The problem is, it's too good a story," says PR consultant Katherine Paine. "It's got babies, alcohol and food."
Leaders at Applebee's, Olive Garden and the National Restaurant Association all declined interviews on Thursday, deferring to public relations departments and statements. Applebee's cited pending litigation.
"In an industry that serves more than 150 million meals every day, these are two extremely rare occurrences," the NRA statement read. "However, we believe that even one incident like this is too many."
Restaurant and PR consultants say the chains also must:
•Retrain staff. "Every employee is a PR rep," says crisis guru Jonathan Bernstein. "These incidents prove how many crises start with line workers."
•Rethink policies. Alcoholic drinks should be served in different glasses from non-alcoholic, says consultant Linda Lipsky.
Applebee's says it will serve kids juice only from single-serve containers. Olive Garden says it will no longer store pre-made alcoholic drinks.
•Limit bar use. Have alcoholic beverages poured only at the bar and non-alcoholic in the kitchen, consultant Dennis Lombardi suggests.
•Be forthcoming. The chains should clearly post their new policies on their websites, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, Paine says.
•Involve folks. Encourage social media comment on the policies, Paine says. "People want to talk about it."

As his bio says, Bill Young served as Director of Programming for KILT AM/FM-Houston from 1966 to 1981. Under Young's 15 year leadership, KILT dominated Houston ratings and achieved national acclaim, including recognition as "Radio Station of the Year" and "Program Director of the Year."
Now he's back to talk about the demise of the radio industry.
In his book, Dead Air--The Rise and Demise of Music Radio Young chronicles, "the brilliant, and at times, outrageous personalities who changed both an industry."
I have not personally read the book, but it is a topic I'm interested in...guess that is pretty obvious if you read my blog. You can read excerpts from the book here.

Check the Supporting Vendors section:
At least two venders there make large loop levers.
I have an 1894 in .45colt, my daughter claimed it as her deer gun. The lever is a bit small for gloved or mittened hands. Can I install a large loop lever on it? I am actually thinking of buying another so I can hunt with it as planned.

Of course I carry a gun! It gives me a chance against the sinners and protection from the righteous.-- Armed, Godless Heathen.
It looks to me like you need to buy two of them.
How oversized are you thinking? DRC Firearms makes a loop that's larger, but not the huge loop that's normally seen. The web links always seem to be down, but here's a page on americanrifleman.org from October of this year that shows what I'm talking about; and they have a phone number listed there. Enhanced Parts for Marlin Lever-Actions
Both Grizzly Custom Guns and Mule Loops (Forum Sponsors) can modify your exisiting lever.
Jamie, Mr Mule Loop, did a great job on my 1894. I sent him my original lever to modify a few years ago. He does several different contours. Here is a pic showing my 1894 along with an old 1936 I salvaged. You may have to get in line but Jamies does a good job.

Thanks for the help. As for buying two, its in the works.
Howdy fellas!
I have an 1894SS that I too wanted to put a LLL on. Since I have a blued/SG version of the DRC unit on my 336/3040 already and love it to death I called up DRC last week and asked if I could order one in S/S for my 1894SS. A wonderful fella named Greg there told me they were having problems with taking credit card payments at the moment so if I could mail him a check he would process the order for me. When I asked him if I could get it shipped to me in NJ by Xmas that way he said "NO PROBLEM" and shipped it that night without even receiving my check yet! Is that customer service OR WHAT?!?! Not THAT's how you treat customer loyalty! I'm planning on putting a winged Skinner's GR sight and a slot blank(both in S/S as well) on it and will post pics when done. (Also just got an email from WWG that they DO still sell the Happy Trigger kit for my gun in blue or S/S for $89+ s/h which I will also be installing)

The New Zealand String Quartet struggles to sustain a loyal Auckland audience and Q Loft was sparsely populated for the second of the group's Bravo! Britten concerts on Sunday night.
Perhaps some felt cheated that the first instalment - the day before - was held at Waiheke? Others may have been disappointed that we were not given all three Britten Quartets - his marvellous Second Quartet, written in 1946, in part as a tribute to Purcell, was passed over.
Purcell himself was featured in Sunday's concert with Britten's music being presented in the context of composers who influenced him - Purcell, Schubert and Ravel.
Two Purcell Fantasias opened proceedings. Helene Pohl explained that the group was trying to emulate a plaintive viol tone, leading her colleagues in some nimble, airy playing. Fluid, roving harmonies and mordant discords made their point, and the second Fantasia benefited from some dashing ornamentation, instigated by violist Gillian Ansell.
Schubert's single-movement Quartettsatz was eloquently introduced by Ansell, with some apt quotations, yet its combination of tremolo fury and sweet tunes did not quite come off, with Pohl somewhat challenged by flying arpeggios.
Britten's Third Quartet was the highlight of the evening. It was easy to surrender to the four musicians as they countered stark belligerence with dispassionate contemplation in this stimulating 1975 score.
Ansell and Douglas Beilman, sonorously jousting, set up a first movement that seemed like a malevolent take on Bartok's night music, even when the group's prodigious energies took them into a well-sprung dance. Pohl's energised sampling of the main theme for Britten's Ostinato movement was a preview of what would be an electrifying performance, although the more freely composed textures of the following movement did not totally convince.
The group maintained momentum through the last and longest movement magnificently, justifying Britten's title of La Serenissima. There was serenity, but there were also some mysteries and questionings, ending in a dramatic skewing of its final E major chord.
After interval, Ravel's String Quartet proved to be a let-down. The players were not lacking energy, but rawness and clouded ensemble seriously undermined a work that should be the epitome of Gallic gleam and elegance.

Oldest bug bonk
Preserved as fossils, two insects remain caught in the act 165 million years later
By Bethany Brookshire, 22:27 PM November 8, 2013
In the Middle Jurassic, two insects called froghoppers (Anthoscytina perpetua) came together in a dance as old as time.
Before they had a chance to mate, death came knocking. The pair was buried and remained there for 165 million years, preserved as fossils described November 6 in PLOS ONE.
Researchers in China found the beautifully preserved specimen among 1,200 other fossils from a site in Inner Mongolia. The insects would have been easy to miss. Each body measures only 15–17 millimeters long...

Re: st: non-normal residuals
Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:17:09 +0100
Non-Gaussianity(*) of the residuals is on its own almost never a real
problem. Linear regression(**) is well known to be remarkably robust
in that sense. What you need to take care of is whether or not your
effects are linear, as strong deviations from Gaussianity can be a
sign that that might be a problem. But as long as your effects are
reasonably linear, you either do nothing about non-Gaussianity or you
specify -vce(robust)- or you specify -vce(bootstrap)-. I'd be worried
if the method matters.
Notice that -ladder- or -gladder- do not look at residuals but at the
marginal distribution, so those commands cannot solve your problem.
-- Maarten
(*) Gaussian distribution is another name for the "normal"
distribution without the normative connotation.
(**) OLS is the name of the algorithm used for estimating the
parameters of a linear regression model. So the name of the model you
want to estimate is "linear regression model" not "OLS".

The Odd Couple: The Female Version by Neil Simon
In 1985, Neil Simon revised The Odd Couple for a female cast. It was titled The Female Odd Couple and was based on the same story line and same lead characters, now called Florence Ungar and Olive Madison. The poker game becoming Trivial Pursuit and the Pigeon sisters becoming the Costazuela brothers, Manolo and Jesus.
On Broadway, Sally Struthers and Rita Moreno starred as the couple in the original cast, with Lewis J. Stadlen and Tony Shalhoub (in his Broadway debut) as the Costazuela brothers. The play was directed by Gene Saks and ran for 295 performances.
Director Doug Brautigam talks about the show and the theater (Courtesy of Edison OnStage TV)

5.0 stars 20 totalReview Jason McGrath
Posted by anonymous
Thanks,I solved the issue.
Posted by Tom
My wife and I engaged Jason's firm to represent us in a mortgage dispute. He is knowledgeable, committed to success, and a great communicator. He offered sound, practical guidance that resulted in a very satisfactory outcome. I strongly recommend him.
Posted by Chris
Struggling in the Construction business I found myself behind on my Mortgage payment.
Had I listened to Bank Of America and followed their instructions I would not have my home today. They insisted that I did not qualify for any type of modification to my Mortgage and it was to late. How could I tell my Wife and 2 children that we had no where to live ? A Friend told me to call Jason McGrath. Mr. McGrath, sent me a simple form to fill out. He called back the next day and told me that I qualified for a Modification and by Law The Bank had to help me !
He took care of the court dates and all communications with the Bank and Saved My Home !
Hire Jason McGrath you will be glad you did.
Posted by Christopher
Jason and his staff kept me informed every step of the way. The got results after my Wife and I had hit a brick wall with our lender. I would utilize his services again
Posted by Dan
We were an out of state client for Mr. McGrath, and were recommended to him by another attorney in Asheville. To this day, after successful resolution of our matter involving debt settlement with a bank out of Asheville, we have not met Jason in person. However, Jason successfully overcame this hurdle, keeping us up to date on our matter, and tactfully dealing/negotiating on our behalf. Jason is obviously a bright individual who is methodical and pays attention to detail. Ultimately, we were able to reach an agreement with the bank due to the representation by Jason. We would have to say that all this was accomplished at a very reasonable fee, with a detailed accounting by Jason's firm as well. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jason to anyone finding themselves in a difficult debt settlement or contract agreement situation. It is a great relief to have this issue behind us. Great work, Jason.
Posted by Bryan
We were in the middle of a foreclosure, and originally found one of those "fly by night" firms. After doing some research, we learned that we were in a scam. Then we found Jason McGrath with McGrath & Spielberger. Not only did they walk the walk, they talked the talk! Everything was done quickly, our home was saved and we received the loan modification that we needed. I recommend this company for anyone who is in home foreclosure.
Posted by Jim and Deanna
Jason McGrath and his staff, Micah E. DeCamp and Amy L Snyder, did an outstanding job in negotiating an extremely favorable settlement for us with BB&T bank, for mortgages that were held on two lots that were purchased in North Carolina. The lots were fraudulently sold to perspective home owners by the developer.
Without Jason's expertise and diligence, I know we would not have been able get out of the nightmare. I would highly recommend Jason and his staff for your legal issues, and I will definitely call McGrathSpielberger again, in the future in the need arises.
Posted by Howard
Jason is an outstanding attorney and an outstanding person. After I tried unsucessfully to deal with a mortgage servicer, Jason relieved the stress and headache from me and successfully handled our case. He was very well prepared. At our first meeting he established his expectations for our case and has exceeded them. I highly recommend Jason.
Posted by Jack
After attempting to negociate the muddy waters of loan modification, etc, re HAMP, for more than a year, failing repeatedly, we hired Jason and Associates. They worked with us over time, essentially taught BoA the HAMP and Fannie Mae programs, and succeeded in accomplishing more than I had hoped for!
I have and do highly recommend the services of McGrath & Spielberger, PLLC. They are a pleasure to work with, and fairly priced as well!
Posted by anonymous
Jason assisted me with a business dispute that I initially attempted to address on my own. While I had been somewhat on track, he was able to guide me and protect my interests where I would have left myself vulnerable. He listened to my perspective, needs and wants and became a tenacious advocate. I am grateful that I had him in my corner and would not hesitate to enlist his services again in the future.

Taking the camera off Smart Auto gives you access to a Program Auto mode as well as all the scene modes, creative-effects modes, and miniature effect and slow-motion video recording. However, they're laid out in one long list, so if you're the type to change modes frequently, this can be a pain. Canon's Smart Shutter option is there, too; it includes a smile-activated shutter release and Wink and Face Detection self-timers. Wink allows you to set off the shutter simply by winking at the camera, and the Face Detection option will wait till the camera detects a new face in front of the camera before it fires off a shot. Both work well.
The Canon PowerShot Elph 110 HS' shooting performance is mixed. It has low shutter lag at 0.3 second in good lighting and 0.6 second in dimmer conditions. However, its shot-to-shot times are a little slow at 2.2 seconds without flash and 3.6 seconds with flash. If you switch to continuous shooting, it can fire off 2.1 frames per second at full resolution with focus and exposure set with the first shot. That might not be as fast as some of the competition, but this Elph also doesn't make you wait while it stores photos till you can shoot again, you can just keep shooting. If you need something faster, it does have a high-speed burst mode that can capture at up to 5.8fps at a 4-megapixel resolution. The results are good enough for Web use or small prints.
The overall design of the Elph 110 HS hasn't changed that much from the previous generation. Instead of rounded corners, the body is more squared off and the one-touch record button for movies is shifted closer to the bright, high-res 3-inch LCD, but it's otherwise the same. All of the controls are flat and flush with the body. It gives the camera a very smooth appearance, but using the four-way directional pad and center Func/Set button can be a little difficult. Also, while I had no problems using them, the buttons, shooting-mode switch, and zoom rocker are tiny, which might be a problem for some; it would be an excellent idea to lay hands on one before you buy it.
Regardless of their shape and size, the controls are easy to master. The menu system can take some getting used to depending on how quickly you can remember to hit the Func/Set button for shooting-mode specific settings and the Menu button for everything else. You also have the option to turn on a help system with hints and tips for choosing the appropriate settings or simply telling you what the shooting mode you're in is going to do.
For connecting to a computer, monitor, or HDTV there are Mini-USB/AV and Mini-HDMI outputs underneath a small door on the right side of the body. The battery and memory card compartment is on the bottom under a nonlocking door. The battery does not charge in camera, and the shot life is rated for only 170 shots, so you'll probably find yourself opening the compartment quite a bit if you shoot regularly. Keep in mind, too, that using the zoom or burst shooting a lot, shooting full HD movies, and keeping the screen brightness high will all cut into your battery life.
It's a shame that cameras like the Canon PowerShot Elph 110 HS are losing to smartphones. It's understandable, but disappointing nonetheless because a camera like this is faster and takes better photos and full HD video. Even its creative effects are better quality than much of what you'd get from various mobile apps. If you're tired of your smartphone camera's lens and performance limitations or are just looking for a better-than-basic snapshot camera, definitely check it out.

Desktop Amps item created by hodgjy, Jan 15, 2012
Pros - Superb with high impedence phones
Cons - Not so much with low impedence phones
I had the WA3 in about 2005. It was a great amp with my Senns... not so much with my Grados. It had all the great sound qualities of a fine OTL tube amp, especially with the Tung Sol 5998 / 7236 rectifier. Anyone would be very pleased with the WA3 / WA3+ to drive their high impedence phones - but, I'd rather have a tube hybrid, or TC tube amp to drive my Grados / Denons / ATH's, etc.
