One of the things I love best about this time of year is the simplicity of cooking with fresh summer ingredients. Since we have a four season climate here in Ohio, I try to savor and appreciate the ability to go to my garden as a step in preparing dinner, since in winter, the entire landscape rests.
Not only do I love cooking with produce I can hand pick, but the ability to alter and create dishes based upon the fresh herbs growing is, to use a technical term, awesome.
Our zucchini plants continue to produce abundantly and we've had fun coming up with new ways to eat zucchini. While I have yet to perfect a zucchini muffin recipe I am willing to share, we've had fun critiquing each batch. We've also created zucchini boats and relied on some stand-by recipes to make sure our homegrown zucchini is fully enjoyed.
For this zucchini salad, I combined two family favorite recipes. Both Ann's Zucchini and our No-Cook Summer Italian Vegetable Salad are tasty sides. I had planned to make my cousin Ann's zucchini recently but I just didn't have it in me to turn on the oven and I was a bit short on time. I combined these two recipes and came up with a new rendition that was super tasty!
Greek Zucchini Salad
1 large zucchini, diced (about 2+ cups)
1 cup white beans
1/4 cup sliced red onion
juice of one lemon
1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh mint
Dice the zucchini and place in a medium bowl. Add the white beans and sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Stir well and pour over the zucchini and white bean mixture. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate and intensify.
Sprinkle with the fresh mint and toss well.
Serves 4 as a side.
We served this dish with our favorite Falafel with Tahini-Yogurt Sauce, so I added a wee dollop of yogurt sauce on top of my zucchini salad.
Peas and Love,

The sound of hydrogen
By Barbara Ortner on 6 September, 2011 in chemicals, hi-tech
Those of us with a passing interest in hydrocarbons might be interested in this little animation on the New Scientist website: "The sound of hydrogen." It is one of a series of one-minute animated films explaining basic scientific concepts, which I was lured into this morning by the tempting title "One-Minute Physics – How […]

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello temporarily leave their usual Universal stamping grounds to star in the Huntington Hartford production Africa Screams. Costello plays the colorfully inept Stanley Livingstone, a meek book salesman who poses as a big-game hunter at the behest of his shifty pal Buzz Johnson (Abbott). It's all part of a scheme to extract some money from adventuress Diana Emerson (Hillary Brooke), who intends to search for a lost diamond mine in the heart of Africa. It seems that Stanley has committed to memory a long out-of-print book which contained a map to the mine. Despite his mortal fear of wild animals, Stanley accompanies Buzz, Diana, and Diana's henchmen on the African expedition. The subsequent comic complications involve a legendary giant gorilla, a cannibal tribe, and a friendly orangutan who falls in love with Stanley. Animal trainer Clyde Beatty and big-game tracker Frank Buck make cameo appearances while character comics Shemp Howard and Joe Besser provide laughs as, respectively, a nearsighted gunman and a sissified flunky. Also on hand are boxer brothers Max Baer and Buddy Baer, who engage in an amusingly unconvincing display of fisticuffs. But the film belongs to Abbott & Costello, who are in fine form. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bought this product based on previous positive reviews. I didn't realise that the ingredient list was based on 2 tablets a day though. I was disturbed to find the additives and fillers listed amongst the ingredients rather than at the end like other products. Have decided to try another product from Healthpost.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino Promoting Official GTL Bag
Designers everywhere faint in unison.
Between getting his ass kicked by Ronnie, sticking his tongue down drunk groupies throats and taking cooking classes (spotted here in Florence yesterday), Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has apparently found time to design the ultimate d-list designer item: The Gym-Tan-Laundry bag.
Photos: We Almost Lost A 'Jersey Shore' Member To The Bottom Of The River
The Sitch has teamed up with haircare mogul, Jean Paul DeJoria (the genius behind Paul Mitchell products) to release the bag, which is meant to be alternated between a gym bag, a laundry bag and….wait…I'm confused… where does the tanning part comes in?
Tisk. Tisk. I guess his PR team is relentless at pushing Mike into the spotlight, no matter how big a failure. What a #Weiner.

Welcome to hell. Or, at least, Mark Cueto's personal definition of it. He is England's most experienced winger, with 42 caps in the bag. Scoring tries is his professional raison d'être. Tomorrow he and his team-mates must pit themselves against the sharpest-edged back-line imaginable.
And how many tries has Cueto registered in his past 14 Tests? A big, fat, mocking zero. No wonder the 30-year-old exudes the quiet agony – "It does play on your mind" – of a centre forward who has not located the net in ages.
Cueto even uses a footballing analogy to try to explain the root cause of his ongoing torture. "Sometimes in football a striker is only as good as the ball he gets and the work the midfielders do. It's exactly the same with us.
"If the forwards don't do a job and get us on the front foot, or the inside backs don't fix defenders and create a hole somewhere, you can end up running down a blind alley."
True enough. But the Sale winger also has a theory that has nothing to do with his team-mates. It is his contention that Test rugby is changing so fast that even the world's fleetest-footed finishers are chasing diminishing returns.
He would say that, wouldn't he? It may come as news to Kurtley Beale, James O'Connor, Drew Mitchell or Quade Cooper. Australia stuck four tries past the All Blacks a fortnight ago and managed another three against Wales.
But Cueto, aware of what some of the critics are whispering, has been doing his research. The GPS equipment he wears in training, he insists, proves he remains as quick as anyone in the England squad.
"My personal best is 34kph and the highest anyone has ever got is 34.5kph. I think it was Ugo Monye, though it might have been Delon Armitage." If he was slowing up, in other words, the conditioning staff would be waving a computer print-out to prove it.
Cueto, moreover, is not alone in finding life harder. Only this week South Africa's Bryan Habana was forced on to Twitter to defend himself against criticism he is increasingly a shadow of his former self. Habana, among the finest modern-era wings in world rugby, has not scored in his last seven Tests.
In his first 40 matches for the Springboks he scored 31 tries. In his past 27 Tests he has managed a mere seven, three of them against Italy. New Zealand's Joe Rokocoko ran in 25 tries in his first 20 Tests; subsequently he has scored a more modest 21 in his past 48.
Could it really be that there is an issue out there beyond the quality of England's midfield passing and the ever-increasing stack of useful video clips at opponents' disposal? Cueto, who registered 14 tries in his first 26 Tests and has scored 69 Premiership tries in 148 games for Sale, believes there is.
"I just think the international game has moved on so much in the last few years. I made my debut in 2004 and everyone was saying it would be a step up. I didn't really find it so then but, in the last two to three years, the intensity, the speed, the tempo has reached a different level.
"That's why you hear coaches talking about the need to be clinical. Opportunities are so few and far between that, when you get one, you have to take it."
Gas merchants, he points out, now exist in almost every position. "Even the 10s are virtually as quick as the wingers and the full-backs. If you looked at England's training data this week, for example, the difference in top speeds between our quickest and the slowest back would be about 2kph.
"Yes, Kurtley Beale is quick but so is everyone. Last weekend a mate rang me and said Stuart Barnes had been saying on television that Joe Rokocoko wasn't as quick as he used to be. It's an absolute joke.
"Rokocoko's one of the quickest wingers in the world. So much is about perception. People in the game probably don't think I'm a real speedster and I wouldn't claim to be an out-and-out flier. But if you look at the data my figures are as good as any of our back three. Based on that, you could argue it the other way."
By now you probably get the idea. Being shoved into touch short of the line, argues Cueto, is not necessarily a sign that someone has mislaid his jet-shoes. There is also the issue of "repeat speed" – "It's no good being able to run fast once, you need to be able to keep doing it" – and defensive ability.
But while the man nicknamed "Conker" by his younger team-mates is still a reliable footballing presence – Martin Johnson has picked him unblinkingly for England's past 18 Tests – he badly needs the equivalent of a close-range toe-poke.
"Ultimately you're there to score tries. I have 42 caps and I've got 15 tries. That's not bad but I'd rather be on 20. You've got to take responsibility because that's your role but, in the end, it's a team thing."
Cueto, to be fair, has several off-field compensations. His baby son, Max Addison Cueto, is a source of much joy and bears the same middle name as his beloved late grandfather, who is remembered in the form of a Taurean bull tattooed on his right arm.
He also believes England should abandon Twickenham more often and relocate at least once a year to Manchester. "Only the other day we were saying it would be nice to have one autumn fixture at Old Trafford … there's a huge amount of interest in rugby union in the north‑west."
The minute the conversation turns back to try-scoring, though, the clouds gather once more. "It doesn't matter how you've played. As a winger all you get judged on is your tries. That's how you want to be remembered. Any other position, no one even asks what their stats are."
You feel for him and, at the same time, wonder how much longer the drought can continue before James Simpson-Daniel, David Strettle or Matt Banahan are invited to step up. Self-evidently Cueto is not keen to go down in history as the nearly man who came within a blade of grass, real or perceived, of scoring the decisive try against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup final.
Tomorrow, in that context, is a game of huge personal significance. Should he score a try or two down Australia's left flank, it would ruin his pet theory about modern rugby but release an awful lot of pent-up emotion.

A new report forecasts that the CNG and LPG vehicle market will be worth nearly $5.2 billion by 2019. The report cites fluctuating gasoline and diesel prices, and the relatively low prices of these alternative fuels, for their growing popularity. The report also breaks down the popularity of natural gas and propane vehicles in different parts up the world. In the Asia-Pacific region, China is the largest consumer. In Europe, CNG thrives in Italy, while LPG is most popular in Turkey and Poland. Meanwhile, CNG remains a tough sell in America, while South America has a healthy market.

The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are testing trucks connected to overhead electric wires to reduce emissions and improve air quality. The eHighway, as the project is called, will cost $13.5 million and will use battery electric and hybrid trucks to move cargo around the ports along a one-mile stretch of wires. The trucks, made by Siemens and Volvo, also have the ability to disconnect from the wires and drive under their own power. See more in the video below or read more at ABC7.
Lyft is introducing its own carpooling feature to its car-hailing app. Yesterday, we reported that its competitor Uber is testing UberPool, and Lyft is now doing something similar to encourage people to share rides. Lyft Line offers discounted rides, and matches passengers who are going to nearby destinations around the same time. Lyft Line offers passengers a guaranteed price before they accept the ride.

Asia-Pacific: Potentially Growing Market for CNG and LPG Vehicles
Asia-Pacific includes developing countries, such as China and India as well developed countries, such as South Korea. Earlier, Pakistan was the leading consumer of CNG vehicles in this region, but it gave way to China to become the leader in 2012 as the local government put a ban on manufacturing and converting CNG vehicles. Japan, Thailand, and Hong Kong have their 90% taxis running on LPG, which are retro-fitted.
Europe: Established Market for LPG Vehicles
The European region experienced the economic downturn of 2009, which affected many industries. Currently, it is in a recovery phase and is anticipated that it will recover in a phased manner. The LPG vehicle market is projected to grow at a stable rate for the period under study. Europe is a major market for alternative energy vehicles and is home to a number of world-renowned automobile manufacturers, such as FIAT, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Citroen, and Renault. Poland and Turkey are the leading consumers of LPG vehicles in this region; whereas Italy is the biggest market for CNG vehicles.
Americas: Dominated by Retrofit CNG Vehicles
The Americas region comprises of the U.S. and Brazil, the latter being one of the emerging economies in this region. The industrial sector in these countries is booming, due to which the automotive industry is growing at a healthy rate. The promotion of flex fuels (E85, moisturized ethanol) by the Brazilian government has further propelled the demand for alternative energy vehicles. The U.S. has been very slow in adopting CNG vehicles and it can be exemplified by the fact that the Honda Civic CNG that was launched in 1998, still sells about 1,500 units a year. Argentina on the other hand, is a retrofit market .The top CNG and LPG manufacturers, such as Fiat (Italy), GM (U.S.), and Ford (U.S.) have a major presence in the Americas region.
The report covers the CNG & LPG Vehicles Market in terms of volume (thousand) and value ($million) across regions, such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, Americas, and the Rest of the World (ROW).

India´s first Church-promoted TV channel has gone on air with a mission to uphold moral values through family programming.
"It is a great feeling that the country´s first complete family channel has been started," said Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil of Erankulam-Angamaly, who blessed the studios in a formal opening ceremony Aug. 1.
Jeevan (life) TV, based in Kochi, 2,595 kilometers south of New Delhi, telecasts educational and entertainment programs mainly in Kerala state´s Malayalam language.
Cardinal Vithayathil, major archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church, called the launch of the channel dedicated "completely" to family and moral values "a momentous occasion."
"Our main objective is not commercial," he stressed, saying the channel will counter "threats posed to society by commercial television channels" through its broadcast of family-oriented programs.
The 250-million rupee (US$5.2 million) project begun some three years ago has some 7,000 shareholders that include Catholic businessmen, dioceses, parishes and religious congregations.
Media analysts such as Uday Lal see the launch as a milestone in the Church´s approach to media affairs in India.
"It shows that the Church wants to spread its message of social work and probably of evangelization through the media channels like television and newspapers," Lal told UCA News Aug. 1.
However, Lal warned that the venture will succeed only if its family-oriented programs can commercially sustain it in the long run.
P.C. Cyriac, the channel´s managing director, said that with a focus on "entertainment, education and information," its programs would be "a big hit" among Kerala´s 31 million people.
"News, cultural programs, entertainment serials and family shows will be the mainstay of our channel," Cyriac told UCA News the day of the launch. He said Jeevan has the right program mix to cater to all groups of people.
The Church-run channel will hold on to certain ethical and moral values that "many television channels in India are lacking," Cyriac stressed. "For instance, we will not accept advertisements of liquor and cigarettes, not even surrogate ones for such products."
The managing director noted that channel is not aimed solely at the some 6 million Christians in Kerala.
Telecast through a satellite that can cover the whole of India, Southeast Asia, Australia, West Asia and Central Europe, the channel aims at a wider audience, Cyriac said. Jeevan TV is the fifth Malayalam channel in India.
Archbishop Jacob Thoomkuzhy of Trichur, whose diocese originally considered developing such a channel, hailed the launch "as a significant turning point in the history of the Indian Church."
On Aug. 1, Jeevan released newspaper ads inviting "a loving and caring generation to watch a television channel with a difference."
Some first-day viewers liked it more than the other four Malayalam channels.
"It has much better clarity and the family music program was very appealing," Mathew Kurien, a Catholic insurance agent, told UCA News Aug. 2.
Reji Jacob said the channel logo in yellow showing two hands touching each other impressed him. "It is a unique logo that gives a message of social harmony and friendship. I hope Jeevan can successfully fulfil its mission," Jacob told UCA News.

Mindy McCready Killed Her Dog Before She Killed Herself
Zap2It reports that Mindy McCready killed her dog before she killed herself on the front porch of her home. Neighbors reported hearing two gunshots.
The dog was a key figure in the death of McCready's boyfriend David Wilson, who died from a gunshot wound on January 13. McCready told NBC: "I didn't find the bullet, the dog did. It was in the dog's mouth. I mean, that's a horrific things to say, but it was in the dog's mouth."
There has been speculation that McCready was involved and police are now investigating. In the same interview, she was asked if she did it. She replied: "Oh my God, no. He was my life, we were each others' life."
At the time, she was planning to honor his memory. She said: "Some kind of foundation for people to donate in David's name, probably something having to do with music, a scholarship fund. David loved music more than anything. And he desperately wanted his music to be heard."
Meanwhile, Billboard spoke with Roger Clemens about her death, which he said was "sad".
During a Houston Astros training event, he said: "Yes, that is sad news. I had heard over time that she was trying to get peace and direction in her life. The few times that I had met her and her manager/agent they were extremely nice."
In April of 2008, the New York Daily News reported that she was in a long-term relationship with Clemens that started in 1991 when she was either 15 or 16. He denied that they were anything more than friends, but McCready told Inside Edition that the relationship lasted over a decade and only turned sexual when she turned 18.
It inspired a sex tape called "Baseball Mistress" that starred McCready and a man named "Peter". Along with the sex tape, it also had her take on the "affair that rocked baseball."

European, American Prints & Drawings
The European and American prints and drawings collection, which comprises more than 1,700 drawings and 9,500 prints, is the most substantial in Canada and among the finest in North America.
For its drawing collection, the Gallery has been fortunate to acquire the preparatory sketches for works of art already in its possession. Among the most remarkable is a pen-and-ink drawing entitled Nude Woman with a Staff (c.1501-03) by Albrecht Dürer, which may be a preliminary study for the figure of Eve in the engraving The Fall of Man (1504). Also part of the collection is a final study for the celebrated painting The Death of General Wolfe by Benjamin West. This famous historical subject inspired the drawing by Louis-Joseph Watteau entitled The Death of Montcalm (c.1783), which forms a fascinating pendant to Wolfe's work.
In addition to these well-known works are a number of large sets or suites of prints, as well as important individual drawings. One of the highlights from the Italian School is the complete set of Carceri (Prisons) in both states by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
The Spanish collection is notable for its print series by Francisco Goya, including the complete Caprichos (1797-99), the Disasters of War (1810-20), and the Tauromaquia (1815-16). Another highlight is the Vollard Suite (1930-37) by Pablo Picasso, one hundred prints of classical and mythological subjects featuring the sculptor, his model, and the minotaur.
Among the most important prints from the Flemish School is the Iconography (c.1625-41) by Anthony van Dyck, a series of 292 portraits, some of them etched by the artist himself, representing contemporary humanists as well as artistic and political celebrities. From the Dutch School, some thirty works by Rembrandt reveal this great master of graphic art at his finest.
The collection is particularly strong in sixteenth century Italian drawings, eighteenth and nineteenth century British drawings and in French nineteenth century prints. Memorable selections from these schools include Reclining Male Nude (c.1530-1540) by Jacopo Pontormo, Oak Trees, Shoreham, Kent (c.1828) by Samuel Palmer and the Large Bathers (1896-c.1898), a lithograph with watercolour by Paul Cezanne.
The modern Russian School has taken on a new importance in the collection with the acquisition of the suite of colour lithographs Daphnis et Chloé (1957-61) by Marc Chagall, part of a collection of over 550 Chagall prints.

You'd think choosing a photo to use on your iPhone lockscreen would be a pretty simple task. Scroll through your Camera Roll, choose a photo you like, hit Set and you're done.
The reality is a little different. Half the time the photo you really want to use is landscape format (horizontal) and you need a vertical image. The iPhone will automatically crop it, and allow you to slide the image around to get a crop you like, but the result rarely does justice to the original shot.
The other half of the time, you find a portrait (vertical) photo which looks great on its own but then clashes with the clock and slide to unlock text when you set it as your lockscreen. Lockscreen Wallpaper Designer is a very simple app that aims to solve these problems … expand full story

Before Dropbox became popular, there was iDisk, which was Apple's cloud storage system. iDisk allowed you to store documents, pictures, QuickTime files, and PDFs in one cloud-based "drive." This was accessible on all of your Apple products as well as at me.com on a PC. It was practically like having your most important files in Finder on your computer – but everywhere.
Then iCloud came out. iCloud dropped support of iDisk, which meant there was no longer a way to access all of your files in a Finder-like cloud system. This paved the way for third party apps like Dropbox to become even more popular.
Dropbox is free. Dropbox works on any platform: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and Blackberry. Dropbox gives you 2GB of storage space for free and they offer incentives to increase your allocated amount of free storage space.
There are two different ways to set up Dropbox:

Apple gives iCloud users 5 GB of iCloud storage space. At first, 5 GB does not seem like a lot of storage space, however it is. For a majority of users it is plenty. For others, it isn't. This storage space is for backups, documents and data, and email only if you are using a @mac.com, @me.com, or @icloud.com address…

Buyers Beware!
I was another "victim" roped into their scam. Sure, you can sign on for 30 day trial for $4.29 and you can cancel within 14 days, but what they fail to tell you is the fact that when you click on the link to cancel your subscription, you're cancelling your email address info and not your account. I called the 866 number two days ago after my bank statement showed a payment of $39.80. I told the person on the phone that I had cancelled my subscription in June and I'm now getting slammed for this. He said a lot of people get confused on the subscription cancellation and that link isn't a part of the website itself. So, I'm now paying for something I haven't used in two months. He said that he can tell there hasn't been any action on my profile and he'll send me a refund in two to three business days and that's when I can be set free from them for good. Here's my thing: how would they send me a notification if they don't have my email address on file anymore? Today, I got billed for 3.00 dollars for the call and I'm pissed. I'm on a fixed income and they've tapped into my account without my consent and this company should reimburse me or face legal action. I will get my money back.
Do not use www.livecareer.com or www.resumebuilder.com, because they have no intentions of paying you back or taking your bank information off of their records. If you're working from this company, you have not heard the last from me.

Throughout this article series, I've highlighted major events that took place during our solar system's youth and helped pave the way for the eventual appearance of humanity. In part 1, I described the solar system's birthing experience. Part 2 outlined the 50 million years of fine-tuning following the solar system's birth, particularly (1) the configuration of the gas giant planets and (2) the collision event that formed the Moon. In part 3, I began describing other fine-tuned events that took place during the next 800 million years of the solar system's history, specifically the Sun's instability and the migration of Jupiter and Saturn into their present orbits.
This week, I will pick up where I left off in part 3 and discuss a turbulent time in Earth's history known as the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), a relatively brief episode that occurred 700 million years after the solar system planets formed, during which hundreds of thousands of asteroids and comets bombarded Mars, Earth, the Moon, Venus, and Mercury. In 2005, a team of four planetary scientists published a total of four papers describing a possible 1:2 orbital resonance event between Jupiter and Saturn (see part 3). In their third paper, the team showed that this event also yielded the long-sought answer to the cause of the LHB.1
Origin of the Cataclysmic Late Heavy Bombardment
Radiometricly dated ages of impact melt rocks collected during Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17 provided the first evidence for the LHB. These measurements produced dates that clustered between 3.8 and 4.0 billion years ago. Subsequently, astronomers measured the erosion patterns on the Moon craters. (The Moon possesses a very thin atmosphere of mostly argon gas that erodes its craters slightly over the course of a few billion years.) These erosion patterns demonstrated that over 90 percent of the Moon's craters formed about 3.9 billion years ago.
Subsequent to that discovery, astronomers measured the erosion patterns of both Mercury's (see figure 1) and Mars' craters. These measurements and others confirmed that the entire inner solar system suffered a cataclysmic bombardment of asteroids and comets that spanned no more than a hundred million years between 3.95 and 3.80 billion years ago and peaked between 3.90 and 3.85 billion years ago.2
In their third paper, the planetary science research team showed that when the 1:2 orbital resonance between Jupiter and Saturn occurred it destabilized the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. This, in turn, disrupted the huge cloud of planetesimals, asteroids, and comets orbiting in the vicinity of the four gas giants, triggering a sudden delivery of hundreds of thousands of projectiles into the inner solar system. The team also established that the disruption strongly perturbed the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. The combined effect perfectly explains the LHB.
In a fourth paper, the team determined that the 1:2 orbital resonance event [explains all the observed features of the Kuiper Belt, as well as Neptune's orbit.3 The Kuiper Belt (see figure 2) is a region of the solar system that extends from the orbit of Neptune at 3 billion miles from the Sun out to slightly more than 5 billion miles from the Sun. In this zone astronomers have discovered, in addition to Pluto, three dwarf planets or plutoids—Eris, Haumea, and Makemake—and over a thousand asteroids and comets. What they have found so far causes them to conclude that at least 70,000 bodies bigger than 100 kilometers (62 miles) in diameter must exist in the Kuiper Belt. Astronomers estimate that the total mass of Kuiper Belt objects is about one hundred times greater than the total mass of the Main Belt asteroids that reside between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Specifically, the planetary scientists showed that the solar system's primordial disk of planetesimals—initially centered roughly on Saturn's orbit—must have been truncated at roughly 3 billion miles outward from the Sun. This truncation would explain the sudden halt in Neptune's outward migration and the position of its present orbit. This means that the Kuiper Belt was empty initially. However, the 1:2 orbital resonance event between Jupiter and Saturn thrust what remained of the huge cloud of planetesimals, asteroids, and comets outward to between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. That event also excited the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit to a value as high as 0.3 (eccentricity of a circle = 0, of a parabola = 1, of an ellipse = greater than 0 but less than 1). Interaction between the cloud and Neptune with its high eccentricity orbit explains eight present-day characteristics of the outer solar system:
- The distance of Neptune's orbit from the Sun
- The extremely low eccentricity of Neptune's orbit
- The coexistence of both a resonant and non-resonant population of Kuiper Belt objects
- The eccentricity inclination distribution of the plutoids and plutinos
- The outer edge of the Kuiper Belt at the 1:2 mean motion resonance with Neptune
- The correlations between inclination and physical properties of classical Kuiper Belt objects
- The existence of an extended scattered disk within the Kuiper Belt
- The bimodal inclination distribution of classical Kuiper Belt objects
The team definitively established that the present-day Kuiper Belt is the leftover remnant of the enormous cloud of planetesimals, asteroids, and comets that originally centered roughly on Saturn's orbit.4 The fact that the Kuiper Belt, as large and as massive as it is, is only about 1 percent the size of the original cloud testifies to the catastrophic nature of the Jupiter-Saturn resonance event.
Over the course of six years, the planetary science research team has established a remarkable breadth of solar system features explained by the 1:2 orbital resonance event between Jupiter and Saturn. Other groups have added to the list of features explained by the event:
- characteristics of Saturn's rings and moons,5
- the elimination of the E-Belt of asteroids6 (part of the primordial Main Belt that orbited close to Mars' orbit),
- the heavy element enrichment of the gas giants'atmospheres,7
- contamination of the Main Belt by primordial trans-Neptunian objects,8
- the orbital characteristics of the Eos family of asteroids,9 and
- the elevated abundances of highly siderophile (iron-loving) elements (rhenium, osmium, iridium, ruthenium, platinum, and palladium) in the mantles of Earth, Mars, and the Moon.10
But the LHB did more to Earth than just load it up with highly siderophile elements. It altered the tilt of the planet's rotation axis by as much as 10 degrees.11 It infused Earth's core with extra sulfur, oxygen, iron, uranium, and thorium12 and removed much of Earth's chlorine and other halogens.13 It also reconfigured the planet's atmosphere, crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
The details of the 1:2 orbital resonance event and the LHB play a significant role in making possible the existence of advanced life on Earth. Next week, I will explain how these design details, plus a newly discovered feature, help establish that a supernatural, super-intelligent Creator was intimately involved in ensuring that the solar system and Earth, in particular, had the just-right "childhood" history to prepare them for sustaining human beings.

It's never too late to train. If you don't have experience with it, you can take her to a class at a local pet store. Try motivating her with treats. I like Natural Choice crunchies because they come in 6 different flavors and are only 6 calories each. If you allow her to behave this way (which stems from fear) it will only get worse. The more you know about her history, the easier it will be to try to solve the problem and make sure to discuss these things with your trainer. ^_^

Chevrolet Optra 2010 Features Overview
It is trying to be Chevrolet's volume seller in the Middle East, but we have trouble spotting an Optra on the streets even though the car has been on the market for some time now. On paper at least, this car seems to have what it takes to go head-on with the opposition. Positioned in the lower compact segment, the Optra offers good value for money, selling in 4-door sedan, 5-door hatchback and 5-door station wagon trims. Styled by Italians but barely showing it, the styling can best be described as interesting without being ambitious. The cabin is basic, but there are lots of storage spaces and space for five adults. Engine options include a 1.6-litre or a 1.8-litre four-cylinder unit. These are combined with a five-speed manual or four-speed auto transmission transmitting juice to the front wheels. While both engines have enough grunt for the segment, they fall short of leaders like the top Civic and Corolla models. Ride and handling are quite good, and bodes well for the Optra. All we ask for are better engines.

1-2 times a week if that.
6-7x a week. 12-14x a month.
It really and truly depends on the month. It varies alot.
I don't know. It's random. SO gets home pretty late and he's been putting alot overtime so he gets home at 4am and it's barely 11:33pm here so Idk if he'll do overtime today and if he does I'm tired or sleeping by the time he gets home. But usually it's 3-4times a week.
DH and I get frisky at least once a day...we have sex once a day, and then I get lured into the shower to get him off once a day too.

Already seeing "June" on the 42mm black Sport model.
Finally hit the "Buy now with 1-Click" button after much debate. It finally came down to the fact that I'm sitting here ripping movies on my MacBook even though they're headed to my Mini. The Mini's DVD drive has become increasingly bad at pulling error-free streams from my DVDs and of course I don't know about it until I'm sitting there with popcorn half way into a good movie. This will be a nice upgrade even though I don't REALLY need Blu-Ray support... (but I want it). Thanks man!
@Lee I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with the Doge.
@salesmakers yikes, that's no good!
@salesmakers what plastic holders are you referring to?
@furbies it's definitely been there since the beginning. It's just one of those things that people may have missed or forgotten about.
@MacFrankie Now THAT'S cool.
Sure thing, Eolake. The best piece of advice I give to others who feel the way I do about Apple's direction is to write them directly. Use the bug reporting system to point out specific examples (http://bugreport.apple.com). They usually make fixes based on this stuff. It's also useful to send them feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback. And don't forget that you can email Tim Cook himself at email@example.com.
I'm in agreement with you, Jory.

As traffic problems continue to multiply, the residents of Rawalpindi will have to patiently wait for any progress on Ring Road, because the Punjab government has been unable to get any financial support for the project.
Proposed in 1991, the project has been pending due to lack of investor interest. Last year, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif took the proposal to China and discussed the idea of build-operate-transfer (BOT) criteria, but could not attract any investors. Under the agreement, the investor will build the project, operate it (thus receiving any revenue from it) and later transfer it to government when it wants.
"No foreign investors expressed interest in the multibillion rupee project, which is said to be an essential part of Rawalpindi's road infrastructure," said a district administration official.
The project aims to link the rural population with the city and cantonment areas in Rawalpindi. The project would also ease shifting industrial activity outside city limits. The road would start from Channi Sher Alam near Rawat town and cross Girja Road and Chakri Road besides stretching towards the under-construction new Islamabad airport at Fateh Jang.
During the last 20 years, no government opposed the idea as it was necessary to shift interprovincial and inter-district transport off the city's main arteries. However, the concerned authorities could not arrange finances for the Rs70 billion project.
According to the revenue authorities involved in the project, around Rs25 billion were needed to purchase land and compensate people whose properties would need to be demolished to make way for the road.
In a meeting in Rawalpindi two years ago, top bureaucrats directed city managers to reduce the length and width of the road to cut costs. However, some PML-N lawmakers did not accept the proposal, as it would deprive several rural areas of access to the facility. The length of the proposed road, according to the 1992 and 1997 feasibility reports, was 40km and 55km respectively. However, the fresh feasibility report estimates it at 70km.
Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) Managing Director (DG) Chaudhry Naseer Ahmed said his department had continually been trying to win over investors, be they local or foreign, as the idea originated by RDA was to ease the traffic burden on city roads.
He said that at present, the RDA was in contact with a local investor and trying to convince him to accept the build-own-operate formula, but no positive response had been received. The DG added that National Highways or the CDA should also show interest in the project as it would also ease pressure on the roads of the federal capital.

Comet ISON was punier than previously thought
By Science News Staff, 11:33 AM December 11, 2013
Guest post by Gabriel Popkin
SAN FRANCISCO — ISON, the comet whose Thanksgiving encounter with the sun captivated astronomers and the public, was probably no wider than New York's Central Park.
A previous estimate from Hubble Space Telescope images put the maximum diameter of the comet's core at 4 kilometers. But new estimates from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter suggest that the comet was almost certainly between 100 meters and 1 kilometer, and probably between 300 and 600 meters.

Where I stayed
Dads house
Yet again we are fortunate to be given a car to use so today we spent the afternoon visiting the surrounding areas including Geelong harbour and buying a couple of presents. Nothing else of much note happened as we spent time catching up
Today we met up with our close friend Peter who was very lucky that his flight got out of the snow in England. We thought it would be a good idea to travel into Melbourne before ringing him so that we may surprise him but as we left for the train station I received a call from Pete who was already at Corio station, had we left earlier our paths would have crossed. So a quick change of plan and we went and collected him. Corio station is a very small station and as we met him you could almost see the tumbleweed blow across the ground, it was that desolate looking. With Peter now here Marlene prepared him some food and we decided to take a trip out to the Great Ocean Road. Those that know will be aware that this is one of the great scenic routes in Australia. The drive was a long one but not unpleasant like it would be in England, by that I mean there wasn't loads of traffic. We drove for miles looking at the wonderful scenery occasionally stopping for a photo opportunity before arriving at the greatest lie Australia has told 'The Twelve Apostles'. These are a group of rocks named after the 12 Apostles but there were only ever 9 and now only 8 as one fell over in 2005. They had decided to call them the 'Twelve Apostles' because they felt it would attract more visitors
Christmas Eve and it sure does not feel like it over here. Today we met up again with Pete only this time in Melbourne to have a look around. We met at about 10.30 with Peter jumping out from behind a pillar at the station to greet us and walked and walked all day around the city. We visited the MCG, walked around the stadium, watched a brief net session before heading along the Yarra river to the Eureka building, which is 91 floors high and has a glass type of floor that you can walk out onto, however we decided against that and just went to the main floor viewing area on floor 88 as the wait was 45 minutes. The lift goes up 9 metres per second and takes just 40 seconds to get to the top making your ears pop like when you are on a plane. The views were truly spectacular and hopefully the pictures will give an idea although the colour is not quite right. We continued walking before going back to Peter's hotel. He went for a shower whist Sue and I went for a beer. Later we went for a Chinese meal in China Town and were absolutely knocked out with the meal, which was the tastiest Chinese meal certainly that Sue and I had eaten. We said our goodbyes for the day and returned back to my Dads on the train completely knackered.
Christmas day and we went along to my brother Michael's and wife Rachael for breakfast. It was the first time that we had met his two daughters Indiana 21 months and Charli Mae 6 weeks also for Sue to meet them all. We returned home where the rest of the day will be spent just having a lazy day before we get up early to attend the Boxing Day Test.

Solutions to Support Unlimited Possibilities
Department Administrator Reminders
Terminations are handled differently in PeopleSoft than in DEFINEPlease note the following:
- There are no end dates in PeopleSoft; therefore a termination form must be submitted to end the job. If a termination form is not submitted to end the job, employees who are paid monthly will get overpaid.
- Departments must not to terminate an employee until they have completed working. If time is worked after a termination date, the employee will NOT get paid until the next regular pay date.
- All employees paid monthly are paid their full salary unless a termination is submitted to Human Resources (HR) to end their job/assignment by mid-month:
- Timekeepers must enter the terminating employee's time and absences into PeopleSoft.
- The Department Administrator must then submit a "Review/Request Job Record Change for Employee" form to terminate the employee.
- If an employee works past their termination date, this time cannot be paid until the termination date is changed. This creates significant work to correct and may delay the employee's paycheck.
- Departments must request a termination for monthly GRA's/TA's, etc. – HR will not enter terminations automatically.
- These positions are salaried and will get paid up to the termination date whether or not hours are submitted.
- The Department Administrator must submit a "Review/Request Job Record Change for Employee" form to terminate the employee and ensure that the employee will no longer be working.
- Departments must verify with their timekeeper that all timesheets have been submitted for an employee before submitting a termination request. Timesheets cannot be submitted after an employee's termination date.
Additional Reminders:
- HR can no longer process retroactive hires. Departments must submit hire requests in advance of the hire date according to the processing calendar on the HR website. Be sure to attach all required paperwork to the hire request.
- Positions must match the number of hours that the employee is assigned.
- Newly hired non-benefit eligible employees and newly hired students must complete the online I-9, W-4, and Biographical information in PeopleSoft. Departments are asked to verify that hired/rehired employees complete this information in Employee Self Service (ESS).
- CBC, STARS, and benefits eligible processing has not changed due to PeopleSoft. Please continue to use these processes and adhere to their deadlines.

Book: Her Secondhand Groom (Book 3)
What he wanted was a plain and meek wife to take care of his children and stay out of his bedroom. What he got was a fiery temptress who, despite her plain appearance, was far more desirable than he could handle.
Patrick Ramsey, Viscount Drakely, is used to having everything go according to his plans. And usually, it does, except when it comes to his three young daughters who are in desperate need of mother and governess. In an attempt to find a suitable woman, he stumbles upon the perfect woman for the job: Miss Juliet Hughes. Juliet, a local village girl, has been educated at London's most highly respect school for young ladies, and better yet, her plain features will make it easy for him to keep his hands off of her.
But what Patrick doesn't realize is this plain young lady from a humble background is anything but the docile, biddable young lady he bargained for, and if he's not careful, he'll lose his heavily guarded heart a little more with each encounter they have. With unshakable confidence and a strong determination, Juliet has no intentions of letting this lofty lord run roughshod over her and will stop at nothing to remind him that they may have been born at unequal stations, but where it counts, they're matched perfectly.

April 2010 sales tax
Steamboat Springs City sales tax revenues in April were the lowest of any month since May 2005, according to a preliminary report released by Steamboat Springs' finance staff Tuesday.
Although May 2009 and April 2006 were within $2,000 of this year's April total, the month's revenues of $907,743 represented a low the city hasn't hit in five years. The preliminary April total represents a 5.6 percent decrease from sales tax revenues in April 2009.
Downtown businesses, hampered by the ongoing recession, as well as April's resumption of the Colorado Department of Transportation repaving project on U.S. Highway 40, dropped 12.5 percent in sales tax revenue compared to April 2009.
There was some good news in the report: April sales tax collections increased at the base of Mount Werner, which saw a 9.4 percent increase compared with a year ago. Citywide lodging revenues also increased, by about 4.7 percent. Those numbers support a recent analysis by David Belin, director of the Boulder-based research firm RRC Associates. Belin said at last month's Economic Summit 2010 that occupancy rates slowly have been climbing this year and that many ski resorts saw a strong end to the ski season after a slow start.
"We're starting to see that (lodging) demand is coming back and occupancy is coming back," Belin said May 20 at The Steamboat Grand.
Belin said this summer's occupancy rates are projected to show a small increase compared with summer 2009. That would be good news for city business owners, many of whom got a taste of tourist-driven foot traffic during a busy Memorial Day weekend but still are struggling through the recession.
Steamboat Springs revenue supervisor Kim Weber said several factors in addition to construction likely contributed to the city's April drop in sales tax revenues, which wasn't limited to downtown. West Steamboat sales tax revenues fell 12.6 percent in April compared with April 2009, while the U.S. 40 corridor dropped about 6 percent. Businesses across the city are offering discounted pricing and consumers continue to spend less overall, Weber said.
"I think it's all the combinations of all the different attributes, not just one," she said.
On the sunny side, Weber said April's figures were not as bad as she expected after hearing foreboding news from merchants.
"I was concerned that it was going to be a little bit lower than what it was," Weber said.
The city has budgeted a 10 percent decrease in sales tax revenues for 2010. That decrease is on top of the 18 percent decrease budgeted in 2009. April's report puts the city at about a 5.1 percent decrease compared to last year.
Meanwhile, Steamboat businesses are gearing up for summer. The Steamboat Marathon is this weekend, for example, and Triple Crown events start next week.
Tod Allen, of Allen's Clothing, said Sunday that he was seeing an increase in downtown traffic — referring to shoppers on sidewalks, not drivers passing through the construction zone.
"It's been good," Allen said about weekend sales. "It's nice to have people in town again."
