Channel Debris Clearing
Removal of woody debris from channels by heavy equipment or cable yarding.
Purpose: Channel clearing is the removal or size reduction of logs and other organic debris or the removal of sediment deposits to prevent them from being mobilized in debris flows or flood events or altering stream geomorphology and hydrology. This treatment has been done to prevent creation of channel debris dams which might result in flash floods, or aggravate flood heights or peakflows. Organic debris can lead to culvert failure by blocking inlets culverts, or reduce channel flow capacity. Excessive sediments in stream channels can compromise in-channel storage capacity and the function of debris basins.
Relative Effectiveness: Excellent-0% Good-71% Fair-0% Poor-29% (Replies = 7) Channel debris clearing was rated as "good" in effectiveness by the majority of the interviewees, but nearly a third rated its effectiveness to be "poor." The latter rating came from situations where there was not enough post-fire organic debris in riparian areas or the channels to cause debris dam problems or stream hydrology was adversely altered by clearing. Because much of the debris from fire-killed trees does not enter channel system until 2 or 3 years later, this treatment was not considered by some to be a useful ESR treatment. Also, there has been a significant improvement in the understanding of the positive role of large woody debris in trapping sediment, dissipating the energy of flowing water, and providing aquatic organism habitat. In some instances the channel clearing has been more disruptive than the wildfire. So, in some areas the policy now is to avoid channel clearing.
Channel clearing is definitely an expensive, time-consuming operation, but it has been successful in certain situations such as locations where trash racks cannot be used to protect road culverts, where woody debris might move into reservoirs, and where sediment must be removed from debris basins and channels to provide adequate sediment storage capacity. Important factors in the relative effectiveness of channel clearing, when it is used, include a good analysis of risk and the value of resources at risk, knowledge of the size and quantity of material to remove, the clearing distances above roads needed to protect culverts, and understanding of the physical characteristics of the channels which might aggravate or reduce stormflows.
Implementation and Environmental Factors: Timing is an important factor which affects both the effective-ness and the assessment of the value of channel clearing. When sediment removal is the objective of channel clearing, operations must be done before sea-sons (usually winter) that produce the first or most significant stormflows. For large woody debris, the key question is if and when inputs of woody debris are likely to occur. In some areas, woody debris recruitment (greater than 2 years) may be beyond the timeframe of ESR projects. Crews conducting channel clearing must be well trained in order to recognize woody material that is too large to float or be firmly anchored, is part of the natural instream coarse woody debris load, or is a natural grade stabilizer. Where woody debris is cut up it must be sufficiently short to pass through culverts.
Other Factors: Channel debris clearing may produce significant, adverse riparian area impacts, destabilize the channel, reduce aquatic habitat, and alter stream hydrology. These side effects may negate any positive benefits derived from channel clearing in some situations.

Kardashian Baby Bump Watch 2013 (Video) Kim and Kourtney Kardashian Interview
The baby bump watch for Kim Kardashian is not only with celebrity watchers, Kim said she is still looking for the first signs of a belly.
She did an interview alongside sister Kourtney Kardashian to promote their reality TV show "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami" on the NBC Today show and Kim says she has no baby bump just yet.
Watch the video interview with Kim and Kourtney Kardashian below.
"I think until I really start seeing a belly, it won't really sink in," Kim said.
"It's just like a weird realization, but I think until you start seeing the physical changes, you know, and every day is different."
Kim also said she "definitely" wants to get married to Kanye.
The couple - who have been dating since April 2011 - are currently expecting their first child, and though the pair couldn't be happier with their lives at the moment, they want to make their union official in the future,
Speaking on the 'Today' show, Kim said: "[I'm] so content with how things are right now. And how life is and we're so happy. We definitely want that in the future, but I'm not in a rush."
Kim - who is still legally married to basketball player Kris Humphries, who she split from in October 2011 after just 72 days of marriage - admits being told she was pregnant was a "pleasant surprise" as she had previously been warned she would have problems conceiving and she is still waiting for the happy news to "sink in" properly.
She said: "It was a pleasant surprise when so many doctors were telling me one thing and the opposite happens.
The baby news was made public when Kanye, 35, announced it on stage during a concert on December 30.
While Kim was surprised he announced her pregnancy, she was happy for him to do so.
She said: "Once you're past the three-month mark, you're pretty safe, so he just kind of goes off with what he feels and he was feeling it that night."

If you want to know what the rest of the world is thinking, get the Economist, which is known for its insightful articles and analysis of politics, business, finance, science and culture. Edited out of London with local U.S. editions, every issue is filled with lively writing, thoughtful analysis and amusing captions. Most of all, The Economist is not afraid to state an opinion.
The Economist offers its readers the most informative and authoritative news on the state of the world's politics, current affairs, and economic ups and downs. I have been a loyal reader of this publication for over fifteen years. I have become so accustomed to the scholarly quality of The Economist that I simply cannot bear to give any other news medium the time of day. Every pertinent and news-worthy issue is featured and presented with an unchallengeable level of analysis and examination. It is not a coincidence that The Economist is widely regarded this way. If I could rate this magazine with more than five stars, I would!
If you want to be an informed and well-rounded citizen of the world, there is no better magazine to subscribe to than this knowledgable gem. The Economist looks at global news and issues with a critical eye that is unrivaled in today's media. The articles are carefully thought out, researched, and presented in a way that is genuinely unbiased-- a quality so rare in today's media. But if you're looking for an easy read to give you a quick fix of the world's issues, the Economist is not for you. It requires thinking, reflection and the articles do take time to read and get through. But the value of the knowledge and insight gained through reading them is well worth the effort. I applaud the Economist for resisting to conform to the poor standards of other news media these days, and maintaining such journalistic integrity. It really shines through in all of the stories and articles.
I have been a subscriber to the Economist for over 20 years. It is thought provoking, agrumentative, wedded to a free trade agenda- one that even if you do not agree with certainly challenges your own opinions.
Each week I look forward to receiving my copy.
If you want large colour photgraphs, detailed explainatory charts (such as those in Time or Newsweek) then do not buy the Economist.
If you want first class writing, exceptionally punchy articles then read the Economist.
I am a great fan, and have been for over 20 years.

It's officially summer, which means the Fourth of July is officially just around the corner. Which also means that my Etsy shop, Red White 'N' Bows, is celebrating its first official Independence Day.
They grow up so fast.
Living in a military household, at least for me, it sometimes feels like every day is the Fourth of July. Our living room has a red-white-and-blue color scheme; there are no less than eight titles written by or about George Washington on a single shelf of our bookcase; and if you open our coat closet, you'll find a sequined bag filled with clarinet music for "God Bless America," "The Star Spangled Banner," "Anchors Away," and at least ten other Sousa or military-themed brass band marches you'd recognize from every July 4th celebration you've ever attended.
Not to mention the entire closet filled with patriotic yarn. Plus two drawers of it. Plus a basket. And then another basket. You can never have too much patriotic yarn.
Somebody please call "Hoarders." I have a problem.
Often, whether your life is consumed in constant patriotism or not, the meaning in the Fourth of July–Independence Day–gets a little lost amongst the fireworks and funnel cakes. (Not to discount the fireworks and funnel cakes, of course, because celebration is also an important and intrinsic part of the holiday.) But now that America is edging on two-and-a-half centuries of independence, the meaning in the holiday continues to mean more. The United States of America's political freedom was the first of countless freedoms its people would be afforded. To me, Independence Day is about appreciating that precedented first freedom, and all the freedoms it paved a pathway to follow–especially the ones we wake up every day and take for granted.
I try not to get too publicly mushy about how lucky I feel to call this country my home. I held a deep love for the United States long before I married into a military family. America has problems, yes; deep, troubling problems, as most countries do. But the life that my family before me forged here, away from religious persecution and toward a hopeful Ellis Island, has been a good one; I'm proud of that work my family did to make a better, safer life, and I'm proud of America for being a place that made it possible.
Or, in a nutshell…America: fuck yeah.
So in celebration of the one day a year when wearing head-to-toe red, white, and blue is most socially acceptable, I'm paying my patriotic yarn stash forward. With a giveaway!
Click here to enter to win one of three patriotic Independence Day headbands from Red White 'N' Bows:
Contest details:
The Rafflecopter giveaway (click here to enter) starts NOW and ends on Thursday at midnight. Headbands are sized to fit most adult women and have a lot of stretch, however size can be adjusted for winners if requested. Winners will be contacted on Friday morning via their provided email. Please note that if you are selected as a winner and do not respond within 24 hours, another winner will be selected in your place. This is to make sure that prizes can be adjusted for size if necessary and shipped in time to arrive for July 4th.
You can also purchase the headbands online from Red White 'N' Bows.

Pittsburgh Pirates Roundtable #13
Question #1:
How many games should Ryan Doumit play in 2007? With Paulino, LaRoche and Nady as starters, would the Pirates be better off trading Doumit to fill other needs?
Alan from Bucco Wire:
Ryan Doumit should play in any as many games as he can. His bat should see every game possible at least once, meaning I'd consider a game appearance for him to include a pinch-hitting situation. His bat has the possibility to be a difference-maker and needs to be given that opportunity. And, at this point, with Doumit's age and health concerns, I don't think there's too much of a market for him, so attempting to trade him would be pointless. Let him be a bench player that fills in at catcher, first base, right field or anywhere he can handle. And definitely get the bat off of the bench in power si...

The Solitude Lyrics Draconian
Draconian - The Solitude SongtextWhile stars outspread the night-time watch
and wind through darkened treetops swirl;
I slowly bow my frozen features
in grief, in sadness and in woe...
in grief, in sadness and in woe.
In solitude forever!
Forever I see, forever I hear, foreverI smell,
forever I taste and forever I feel the solitude...
No voice (no voice), no hand (no hand) of human source
can reach me (reach me) in this place...
though fallen (fallen) figures (figures) closely passes
and invites me (invites me) into somber dance...
this somber dance!
Cold and desolate my soul turns grey,
(and) alone I witness the neverending day.
My wasted dreams lie silent and dead
within this darkened tears I shed...
this darkened tears I shed.
In solitude forever!
So lonely I stand on this tortured cliff
hearing distant cosmic echoes calling;
beckons me to decline this withered beauty
and leave this lie to greet the night...
the night without an end.
The solitude...
This solitary life...
Maybe I should just end it all...
Yes, I should just end it all!

Governor Robert Bentley and State Health Officer Dr. Donald Williamson on Tuesday discussed budget challenges facing the Alabama Medicaid Agency and how underfunding the agency would have a dramatic impact on the state's health care system as a whole.
"Medicaid funding affects all people, whether they're enrolled in Medicaid or not," Governor Bentley said. "Hospitals, doctors' offices, and nursing homes depend on Medicaid to provide funding that sustains the services they offer to all patients. Without proper Medicaid funding, the strain on the health care system would be severe. We must provide Medicaid the state funding it needs in order to ensure that health care providers are in a financial position to serve the public and save lives."
Dr. Williamson was recently chosen by Governor Bentley to conduct a review of Medicaid's operations and finances. Dr. Williamson presented his findings, showing that Medicaid will need a minimum of $600 million from the state's General Fund in fiscal year 2013 to remain a viable agency.
"In my 20 years as State Health Officer, the budget decisions that will be made over the next few weeks will be the most crucial I have ever seen," Dr. Williamson said. "The $600 million figure is a bare minimum funding level, and even at that funding level, Medicaid will still be a lean program. Any cuts below $600 million would seriously impact people's health. We would start to see hospitals and nursing homes reducing beds, eliminating services, or even closing, leaving patients with nowhere else to turn for critical care."
Already, Alabama provides among the lowest level of benefits for Medicaid recipients when compared to other states. Any significant cuts to the already lean agency would have devastating consequences.
Governor Bentley called on legislators to ensure that budget decisions are made with the urgent needs of the Alabama Medicaid Agency in mind.
"The good news is the state has resources available to offset cuts and sustain the program," Governor Bentley said. "We have more than $200 million sitting in a savings account in the Education Trust Fund. Rather than let that money sit in a savings account, we can use that funding to sustain Medicaid."
"Think about your personal finances," the Governor said. "If you have two bank accounts, and one of them is in dire need while the other has a large amount of money in savings, you would transfer that money from one account to the other to meet the need. State government must do the same. We have money available to meet the need. This is simply a matter of allocating the money we have available in a way that sustains essential services."
Governor Bentley also pointed out that every dollar that is cut from Medicaid benefits costs the state at least $3 when matching federal funds and provider payments are considered. Also, a strong health care system is crucial not only to public health but also to the long-term economic health of the state.
"A primary reason why companies locate in Alabama is access to good health care," Governor Bentley said. "Proper funding for Medicaid gives our health care facilities the backing they need to remain strong and provide life-saving services to all people."
"We have an opportunity over the next few weeks to avoid a Medicaid funding crisis," Governor Bentley added. "By making the most efficient use of the funding we have available, we can sustain the Medicaid program while also living within our means. Certainly, Alabama faces budget challenges. By maximizing our resources, we can meet those challenges and maintain essential services for the people who depend on them."

Take Down Rifles
Going with the premise (hopefully lol) that the only dumb question is the one you don't ask I'm wanting to know about take down type rifles. Just seen (catalogue) some very nice take down lever actions and wondering are there any disadvantages with them being in a coupla peices and all? :-)
They end up nice & compact when packed and can be far easy to carry and I guess conceal on a motorbike, so thinking they might be good for what I need.
Not after a combat ready thing, something that can pack & stack easily & perform as well as the same rifle thats not Take Down.
Sorry if this is still the dumbest question...never used one so its new for me. (Besides I got far dumber questions to ask later I'm sure hahaha)
Oops, second question, scope mounts, years ago a guy I knew had some very expensive scope mounts, supposedly flick the lver & the clip off can be stored/packed etc & when you remount them on the same gun, everything zeros in as it was pre-taking them off. I guess you can tell I never use a scope, always iron sights, except I'm getting older, eye sight isn't that of a 20 year old anymore & will have to go to a scope sonner or later. Was thinking a take down lever action & a scope like this would be really good for what I want, compactable but easily put together with fairly good expectation of good performance...or leastways consistant.
Cheers & thanks in advance

Chhers for that vicdotcom, of course I got off my lazy rear & googled quick release rifle scopes and there's plenty but I don't which ones (if any) are good...for the record the ironic and funny part is, they must have been real expensive way back years ago when this guy bought them but strangely he never unclipped them & kept the hole shooting match together in a hard case in case it didn't actually zero hahaha
I guess you're dead right re the small parts going missing, I guess just got to be extra extra careful pulling down & packing it all. Duct tape can do a lot but not everything huh? ;-)
Take down leverguns, such as the ones you are probably referring to from Wild West Guns, particularly their Alaskan Co-Pilot, are designed with ease of reassembly in mind. Others of various make, model and design such as the M6 Scout, AR-7, the Marlin Papoose, the Rossi and H&R single shots, etc., are all simplistically designed, enough so as not to warrant too much worry about repair in a shtf situation.
Take down pins come in a variety of choices these days btw - many of which are made to be less losable than they used to be.
IMHO, with the exception of the Alaskan Co-Pilot, no take down is inherently as accurate as one that is not a take down, but still, you're more likely to have a take down type rifle tucked away somewhere in a time of need, particular in a car, truck, a pack or on a plane, and therefore it is by far better than nothing.
Scopes, the glass, is relevant. I feel your pain where the eyesight is concerned and getting older and all that. To overcome certain issues when combining glass with a take down rifle of any sort ... rails, tick marks, quick release mounts, smaller sizes, etc., are all important and to be chosen and performed with some degree of caution as to make sure you get it done right the first time.
IMHO there is no take down made that would benefit from anything more powerful than a 2x in terms of glass, with simple crosshair reticles.

I build on bolt actions. Usually, I build on the Number 4 Enfield, because it converts readily to .45-70, and I was fortunate enough to get ahold of one of the Remington-Lee magazines before Numrich ran out of them, so I have a pattern to build from.
Insofar as your observations on scope power is concerned, it is right on except for your choice of reticle. Cooper's 12 MOA transparent amber triangle is a better choice for field work than is a simple crosshair, and I have used a post and interruputed crosshair for many years myself. It's nice to find somebody else who likes Jim West's CoPilot carbine.

The takedown mechanism design by John Browning for the Winchester lever action designs is very good and can be tightened up as needed to account for thread wear.
I have worked with Winchester m1886 rifles and m1897 shotguns that were still tight.
Some of the other mechanisms, not so much.
Unless you constantly twiddle with the weapon, my guess is that most any tack down system will remain tight for decades of use.

I have a Mariln 45-70 take down which will hang with the best of them for accuracy.
Just how FAR are you talking about? Inside 100 yards I can stack them. At 300 yards I have to arch them into the target but, then again, I shoot for meat and a hit is a hit.
|The Following User Says Thank You to BUSHPILOT For This Useful Post:
Steyr AUG breaks down to 20", slightly less if you want to take the reciever off. It goes together very fast. Larue mounted optics will maintain zero.
AR's come apart to 22" or so for an M4.
Alaska Co-Pilot is about 18" and powerful but I wouldn't give WWG my money if it meant a tax audit.
IMI Timberwolf in 38/357 or 44 Special/44 Mag is about 24" in two pieces and functions exactly like an 870.
Double barrel shotguns break down nicely, as do Drillings.

Here are some examples...Just click on the links for their sites.
Browning BLR Take down as does the Winchester Models 1895 & 1892
Dakota Model 76 Traveler Bolt Action Take down
Karl Hauptmann Single shot in attache case one of many hundreds of German, Italian etc. custom makers.
Don't forget the excellent Thompson Center Encore or Contender like these custom jobs by Van Horn.
Ottrer custom T/C pistols
J.P. Sauer bolt action system --
Also Merkel,
Blaser and
Krieghoff have variants.
Many BR shooters will have what's called a "switch barrel" gun where they'll use a super heavy barrel for target work in 6mm and have a lighter barrel for varmint, using the same action and bolt in .243.
What's nice with the single/double barrel break action rifles is not only are they take down but you can switch to another calibre just by placing in a new barrel assembly--It will work with bolt actions as long as the case head is about the same size otherwise you'd have to add a bolt with the barrel.
I'm getting an attache case gun set in 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 9.3mm just don't by whom yet or in a bolt action as long as I can keep the case size like with .243, .260, 7mm-08, .338, .375 all on the .308 Win case/action.
There are numerous detachable scope systems out there from Claw mounts to little levers on the bases etc...Some are designed for only one gun others you can switch the scope between different rifle and/or calibres with ease--as long as you have the click chart for each calibre to sight in you're fine.

TC Encore is one of the best choices for a relatively cost effective take down.
20 gauge
This is one of many great 3 barrel combos
You can use Talley Scope rings for quick disconnect.
|The Following User Says Thank You to 0002S For This Useful Post:
Wow thank you all, information a plenty, thanks!!!! :-)
Half the reason for the take down idea is to have companion guns, a take down rifle and a pistol, both can be carried in a back pack or on a motorbike, both sharing the same ammo.
I'd be leaning towards .357M and also was thinking a 308 with Axiom stock would be a good thing to have, but think a nice light, well priced bolt action 243 would be more than enough...Of course one of eberything would be ok but still waiting for the lottery people to hurry up & ring (Guess that'd be sooner if I ever bought tickets hahaha)
I have shotguns, .22 but no companion guns, no bigger guns, think you all have been very helpful and gotten me closer to smarter decision.
Apppreciate it greatly
A couple cheaper alternatives: NEF Handi Rifle, Rossi Trifecta. The handi has to have each barrel fit to the action. The Rossi comes with 3 barrels for around $200, but is tiny and light.
Personally, I prefer the TC Contender with a 16" barrel for the application you mention, specifically in 223 REM with chamber adapters in .22LR, and .22WMR. The Contender is unique in that it has two firing pins, you select rimfire or centerfire so I can fire a .223, extract the case, load a .22 in a chamber adapter, turn the switch, and fire rimfire. 1/2 MOA shooter with good ammo. Broken down, less than 20". No need to refit each barrel to the action. 5 1/2 pound Rifle. Limited by Chamber Pressure so not as many of the high power calibers as the Encore, but much handier on the lower pressure rounds, including BP in 209x45 and 209x50.
I like the TC Contender and Encore due to the flexability as pistols and calibers they are have available. The NEF/H&R's have given me good service as well. Putting a rubber O ring between the barrel and the fore arm around the lug helps with accuracy or you can glass bed the forearm (and buttstock if its loose.)
I think a decent scope is a good idea, but reloading can make a big difference also.

Did either of them take out a patent on the design? Then anybody and their brother can exactly duplicate the gun and to their hearts' content!
If a patent had been taken out then whomever pays them royalties can make them under license just as Springfield paid Mauser for the M1903A1 and if not licenced then they can be sued just as Mauser did to Springfield for the WW1 years.
The way I heard it was that Andy just used the same takedown system that Winchester used in their Model 1895 (patent had run out years before)which he now specializes in and two of my partners have his guns in .375 Scovill-Hawk and .411 Hawk
Haven't seen those calibers yet. I like lever guns but I went to the 376 Steyr in 2002 and I haven't been interested in much else for anything serious and sold my other hunting guns. I understand WWG was looking at making their own actions specifically for 460 and 500 S&W. That was a while ago and haven't heard anymore recently. I suspect they are too hot for a lever gun.
After a very consuming passion, primarily break action--falling block, Farquharson, etc rifles (single shot, doubles and dreillings/vierlings) I love lever action guns; (except in pistol calibres--unless being used for SASS CAS stuff) and especially favour the Savage Model 99 , Browning BLR, Winchester Model 88 (.264 Win) & Model 1895 (.30/40 Krag)...The only handgun calibres that I have are .22 LR target and .41 Rem Mag revolvers so I have the Browning BL22 and a Marlin 39A TD and the 1895G in those calibres and Browning Model 1871 in .348 Win and a Browning Model 1892 in .44 Rem mag reside in the cook shack all season long ...What's nice is that all of them come in factory takedown (TD) models.
Lever rifle and cartridges Info Sites:
Paco Kelly's Leverguns
Lever Action Shooting Society
Z-Hawk Guns site on the Scoville and Hawk cartridges and their converted Winchester 1895 rifles...My partners love theirs and carry them daily against polar bears which we've never had a necessity to kill.
Big Horn Armory is making a .500 S&W lever gun...It's still a pistol cartridge, albeit a horking big one, so your still limited to closer shots but devastating closer shots...One of the other partners is looking to buy one but is reluctant as my BLR in .358 Win and his in .450 Marlin are working out fine
Brockman's has the same stuff that
Wild West Guns has and so does
Grizzly Custom and
Nonneman and Brian Cosby--down...
Gary Reeder Custom Guns has some beautiful models--16" Bad Medicine in .50 Alaskan etc. and for even more High end--exhibition grade guns there is Doug Turnbull Restorations -- check his .470 and .475 Turnbull took it to Africa for a Cape Buffalo hunt.

Kiip rewards mobile gamers' achievements with real-world prizes
Well gii, we never thought we'd see the day when another product successfully used the letters "ii" in its name. Kiip, a new San Francisco-based start up, wants to turn the world of in-game advertising on its head, Mashable reports. Well, at least in mobile games, but is anything stopping this from hitting Facebook someday? Not likely. Kiip is a rewards-based advertising platform for mobile games that rewards players when they reach a milestone like a new high score with real-world prizes. Say you beat a level in Angry Birds with a three-star rating. With Kiip, this otherwise minor achievement turns into a reward for hard work--play, we mean play.
How it works is that when an achievement is reached, a banner ad will rise from the bottom of the screen, offering free stuff just for reaching a new height in Doodle Jump. Clicking on the ad will open a new page that asks you to provide your email information so that you can redeem the reward. The platform has support from several partners on day one including Popchips, Sephora, 1-800-FLOWERS, Carl's Jr., Dr. Pepper, Sony, Vitaminwater, GNC and Homerun.com.
And while Kiip has its lips sealed on what games will take on the new ad platform, you could imagine how Kiip could work in Zynga games like FarmVille or even Words with Friends for iPhone. Finally master that new crop in FarmVille? Here's a coupon for free Dr. Pepper. Reach 600 points in Words with Friends? Enjoy some Popchips. Kiip's success won't be visible for some time, but you can bet that social game developers are already salivating over it.
[Video Credit: Kiip]
Do you think you'd be more likely to click on a banner ad in your game of Words with Friends if it offered (legitimately) free stuff? How long do you think it will be before social games adopt a similar advertising model? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

We spoke to two stars preparing to face each other at Griffin Park on Monday in the first League One London derby of the season.
Leyton Orient are the only team in England's top five divisions still with a 100 per cent record. They top League One with seven wins. That is not bad form going into this London derby, is it?
Romain Vincelot: We knew we could start the season well but seven out of seven is really unusual. The hardest thing for us now is to maintain the same desire and discipline in every game. We can't let ourselves relax because teams playing us will have an extra five per cent because they want to be the first to beat us.
Clayton Donaldson: It is difficult not to focus on that record. You see a team doing that well and you think they are going to run away with it. We saw the same last year with Tranmere, who got off to a flyer. They blew up halfway through the season, and it is still early days, but you have got to respect a team that win seven games in a row, no matter what League they are in. They are on form and will be coming to our place full of confidence, looking to make it eight in a row.
Brentford have made a decent start but are yet to find their best form and will fall 12 points behind Orient if they lose. Could that be significant at this early stage?
Donaldson: We went off track with the heavy 4-0 defeat at Bradford earlier this month but we were unbeaten before that and we are where we wanted to be at this stage. It is still early days and we can improve. We needed a win against Tranmere to get our confidence back and to get back on track, so three points there last weekend was something that we needed. And to win with a penalty with the final kick of the game made it even better.
Vincelot: Everyone here knows that we can't relax. We have to keep the same ingredients we have had for the first seven games. The manager [Russell Slade] is keeping everyone on their toes. Brentford did really well last season and they have good experience from that, which I am sure they will want to build on this season.
Orient and Brentford are both targeting promotion. Could we see two more London teams in the Championship next year?
Vincelot: We missed out on the play-offs by only three points last season, so the target this time was to finish in the top six. We have made a great start but it is only seven games and it is too early to say that we want to finish top of the table. We do not need to look too far ahead. We finished really well last season and just wanted to build of that. On top of having a good team and a good manager, we have a real spirit that you do not see around that often. We love to work hard for each other and that makes the difference. We have a small squad but the quality of every character is amazing. When I had an offer to come here last February, I did not have to think about it for too long because I knew they had an exciting team.
Donaldson: We reached the play-off final last year [Brentford were beaten 2-1 by Yeovil] and we all want to better that this season. The manager always wants to improve on the season before but I think the division is a lot harder now because there are some quality teams that have come into it. It is going to be a lot tougher but to finish in the top six would be a good season. We had the best home record in League One last season and are unbeaten at Griffin Park so far this campaign.
The game is live in front of the television cameras. Does that add something extra to it?
Vincelot: A London derby is always a bit special. As a player, you always want to play in front of the largest crowds possible and the television cameras do add a little bit more to the atmosphere.
Donaldson: The fact that the game is televised spices it up even more. We played them on television at their place last season and they beat us with a late goal, which was their only shot on target. It will be very tough but hopefully we can stop them in their tracks and inflict that first defeat on them.
What is your prediction for the game?
Vincelot: We just want to continue our good start. I have scored in London derbies for Dagenham and Redbridge, so I have good memories of fixtures like these.
Donaldson: They are slight favourites because of the run they are on, which could be a thing good for us. We are always favourites and people always look at us to turn over teams at home. But on Monday, we play without that pressure. The expectations for them will be higher. That run has got to stop sooner or later, so hopefully it is Monday.

If a built-in aversion to bitter might have helped our ancestors to survive and evolve, did this mean I'd gotten "good" taste genes? It's a logical theory—but, in fact, there's little evidence that a particularly acute sense of taste offers health protection. In fact, in a world where we "hunt" and "gather" at supermarkets, being easily turned off to bitter may be a liability. Many phytochemicals linked with health benefits—glucosinolates in Brussels sprouts and kale, flavonoids in grapefruit and isoflavones in soy—impart bitterness. And, in fact, research shows that people genetically programmed to detect subtle bitter tastes consume fewer cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens, tart citrus fruits, green tea and soy products—all foods associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. "We have data that show that people who were more sensitive to bitter tastes consumed fewer vegetables and had a greater incidence of colon polyps, a marker of higher risk for colon cancer," says Duffy. "This research is preliminary but it connects genetic variations that affect oral sensations with specific health outcomes."
Luckily, inheriting an ultra-sensitive bitter-detection system doesn't mean that your diet is doomed. "You can temper the bitterness in foods by pairing them with other sweeter foods or cooking them in ways that bring out their natural sweetness," says Duffy. "Salt and strong spices, such as garlic, chiles or ginger, also can make bitter foods more palatable." Jack and I do a lot of this sort of thing at home: we sauté spinach with sweet red peppers and enhance asparagus with garlic and a sprinkle of sea salt. (See "Taste Tips")
Even after bringing the bitterness of a food to a more acceptable level, it can take time to learn to enjoy the formerly off-putting flavors. Says Duffy: "Someone who has had unpleasant experiences in the past has to unlearn connections between unpalatable bitterness and particular food flavors." One can do this by crowding out the bad memories with good experiences of eating deliciously prepared foods.

Brando Yelavich's triumphant completion of his 8000-kilometre trek around the coastline of New Zealand was delayed briefly on Saturday afternoon, while he enjoyed a brief swim directly beneath the Cape Reinga lighthouse.
Uniquely, perhaps, the 20-year-old Greenhithe (Auckland) man took just a few minutes to cross from the Pacific to the Tasman before shedding his clothes and striding into the water. Then he made his way up his final hill to the lighthouse, where family, friends and TV cameras were waiting for him with Croatian and New Zealand flags, cheers and a cacophony of blasts from vuvuzelas (the instrument that featured prominently at the 2010 Fifa World Cup tournament in South Africa).
As he reached the rock wall in front of the lighthouse, he raised his arms and declared, "I'm back!"
Earlier Brando's father Todd attached an addition to the famous signpost in front of the lighthouse, pointing south to the 'Wildboy Trail,' while the gathering waited for him to come into sight far below.
Brando thanked the "best Dad in the world," his Mum, sister, girlfriend, his sponsors and the people of New Zealand.
"My next adventure is called life. That's where I'm headed," he added.
After posing beneath the signpost and clambering up on to the lighthouse balcony to wave a flag, he marched up the hill to the carpark, where one final photo was taken, before heading to Kaitaia for a feed of fish and chips and a good night's sleep.

The wife of a Muslim man accused of bashing and detaining their 15-year-old daughter denies failing to seek medical attention for the injured girl, who allegedly suffered a broken nose and broken tooth.
Police also say the girl was made to hide her injuries under a burqa.
The woman entered a not guilty plea in the Manukau District Court today to a charge of criminal nuisance. Like her husband, the woman was granted name suppression to protect the identity of her daughter.
Judge Sharon McAuslan told defence lawyer Sam Walker the suppression order would only last until the woman's next appearance in March, when another application would have to be made if it was to stay.
The woman was bailed until then.
Court documents show she is accused of failing to discharge a legal duty in not seeking medical attention for the girl.
The charge has a maximum penalty of a year's jail.
The man faces charges carrying a 14-year maximum sentence and has pleaded not guilty to one count each of injuring his daughter with intent to injure, unlawful detention and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
It is alleged he assaulted the girl twice, once when becoming enraged at hearing she had hugged and kissed another girl, and again when he was angered at the girl smoking at school.
On the second occasion, the girl allegedly suffered a broken nose and broken tooth in a vicious beating.
The man is then accused of unlawfully detaining the girl at home for 14 days in September because he was concerned her injuries would be noticed.
He is in custody and will make a bail application next week.

That's A Big Cannoli!
Ok, we've all seen and tasted the "normal" size cannoli, as pictured here. Now imagine one weighing 123 pounds! That weighs about as much as my teenager, soaking wet. I like mine with a cold glass of milk. Can I get the rest of it to go? Honey, clear out the fridge, It's going to be occupied for awhile. Only in New York, right?
In Newburgh, New York, it's official: Giulio Pistolesi and Scott Wilkinson have made the world's largest cannoli! We're talking 123-pounds of cannoli that was created in the parking lot outside Pistolesi's bakery, the Cake Bin. The Guinness folks were on hand to make it official and it's actually the first time a record for this particular food item has been claimed. Pistolesi said, "We're very excited here, and we hope the certificate gets here soon."

Dad Sugar Cookies
The sweetest way to give Dad some sugar this Father's Day: Bake him these poppy seed-speckled treats, personalized with our easy templates.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 7 sets of "DAD" cookies
Photography: Johnny Miller
Source: Martha Stewart Living, June 2012
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in seeds.
Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out dough 1 disk at a time to just under a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using templates, cut out letters with a paring knife. Reroll scraps; cut more letters (you'll need 14 D's and 7 A's, total). Freeze on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets until firm, 15 minutes.
Bake until edges are golden, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool on sheets set on wire racks.

My laboratory focuses on the molecular pathogenesis of primary brain tumors. Our current focus is to understand how genetic aberrations in growth factor signaling promote the initiation, progression, and/or maintenance of glioblastoma. Through surveys of the cancer genome in primary tumor samples (high throughput sequencing and gene copy number arrays), we have identified a number of mutations in signal transduction pathways and are now characterizing their biochemical and biological properties using isogenic cell lines models and mouse models of glioma. Our goal is to integrate these findings into a molecular classification of glioblastoma which will inform genotype-based evaluation of novel agents targeting these pathways in patients.

Showrunner Carlton Cuse tonight tweeted casting of Lord Of The Rings veteran Sean Astin in the FX pilot directed by Guillermo del Toro. Astin will play CDC administrator Jim Kent in the dram starring Corey Stoll, Mia Maestro and John Hurt. The Strain, which Pacific Rim helmer del Toro co-wrote with Chuck Hogan based on their vampire novel trilogy, tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Stoll), the head of the Centers for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team, of which Astin's Kent is a member, are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism.
Sean Astin Joins FX Drama Pilot 'The Strain'
5 Comments
I started this book a few years ago and I stopped, because it creeped me out. But I imagine that it would make for a great tv series. I'll definitely try it out.
I read the first book and half of the second. When I learned it was going to be adapted for TV I stopped reading. I want to enjoy the series without spoilers.
Seems like he'd be playing Dr. Everett Barnes, Ephraim's and Nora's boss at the Center for Disease control.
Sean Astin to the crew on an episode of a tv Show he was directing:
"Guys we are gonna beat the record tonight of total setups in one 12 hour shoot..if we do beat the record i'm going to give every member an autographed poster of "Lord Of The Rings"…"
Grips response to Sean's offer:
"Can i get a set of steak knives instead?"
People are going to get this confused with Helix (assuming both make it to release).
