Who painted all of these pictures? Her name was Minerva Teichert. She was born in 1888 in Utah and grew up on a farm in Idaho. Get to know this talented artist.
Minerva did rope tricks and Native American dances to pay for art school in New York.
At age four, she got her first set of watercolors. She took a sketchbook along when she rode her horse, Gem.
Sister Teichert taught many children to draw and paint.
She married a cowboy and raised five children on a ranch in Wyoming. She was very busy, but she said, "I must paint."
She made over 1,000 paintings, and many show pioneers and scenes from the scriptures. She used bold brush strokes and strong colors.
Her children, grandchildren, and neighbors were models for the people in her paintings. In one painting, her husband was the model for the Apostle Peter, and her bishop was the model for Jesus Christ.

The madness of the human race raises the question as to whether or not at some distant point we humans will make some drastic mistake that results in the end of being able to continue the human race. What would occur if at some point, we humans could not create new life and thus at some distant moment in history, the race we know as "human" would simply disappear, not only from this planet but from the universe? How would we think, feel, conduct our lives if there was no human race that continues to exist. Suppose, as we die along with other human deaths we reach a point in time when there are no children, just a increasingly declining group of elderly people who inhabit a world without youth and without a human destiny? What is we are today, and at some moment in time, we humans just disappear from the planet and the universe?
I believe that it is our faith in the inevitability of tomorrow that enables us to confront today. If there was no tomorrow then we would crumble into passivity and simply give up use of our mind. We need the existence of a collective tomorrow that spurs our efforts today to become creative thinking life forms. We humans without any thought constantly destroy life forms and end their existence on this planet. Just remember, that possibility also exists for we humans!

These people are so nice!!!
I love the car ride to the vet, but I hate going through the door. The nice people at Caring Hands always make me feel calmer and very safe. Dr. De La Cruz is the nicest vet I've ever had the honor to sniff. AND, after every time I have to go in because I'm sick or limping or something they always call the next day to see how I'm doing. How special is THAT?!

I miss my vet!
Caring Hands in Arlington was my vet before we moved to Chicago. They were the best - I hated to go in the car, but I loved to go to the vet. Everytime I came through the door, they recognized me and said "Hello Martin!" They were so nice when we were babies and our humans were afraid that everything we did meant we were sick. When we went there, both Dr. de la Cruz and Dr. Shults took care of us - they are the best. We also loved Kim, who was our vet tech on a number of occasions, but we don't know if she still works there. We also used to board at Caring Hands Arlington, until they closed their boarding in order to remodel and expand their surgical unit. We don't know if it has reopened, but it was a great place to stay. I got to be in a double cage connected to my brother and they would play with us and treat us great! Our humans always felt so safe leaving us there. Our vet now is great too, but we sure miss Caring Hands. If we ever move back to the area, we are making sure that our humans take us there. P.S. Since it looks like Oliver can't post his own review, he wants to say "thanks for taking such good care of me when I was little and got a stomach worm!"posted: February 22nd, 2007

Acai Berry Power 500
Rid your body of toxins with the Acai Berry.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
Jumping on the bandwagon of the berry craze, Acai Berry Power 500 is a dietary supplement which contains the extract from of this newest superfood. Acai berry heralds from the Amazon rain forest where it has been consumed for thousands of years because of its comprehensive and powerful nutrient make-up. The fruit (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) resembles a blueberry and sports a deep purplish hue. It tastes like a combination of chocolate and berries. It contains a host of disease-fighting antioxidants as well as essential fatty acids, amino acids, Vitamin E, iron, fiber, and calcium.
Acai Berry Power 500 is a compounded form of this berry in a capsule that is supposed to flush out excess pounds, reduce water bloat, slim your stomach, reduce water retention and jump start any weight loss plan. This specific supplement has been applauded as one of the best Acai berry supplements on the market.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
- Acai berry is a very healthy food
- Acai Berry Power 500 is a convenient form to get the health benefits of the Acai berry
- May help to boost energy and improve overall health
- Contains only Acai extract
- Very little data to support Acai berry's ability to promote weight loss
- The extract form of Acai berry is not as beneficial as consuming the whole fruit
- Not approved by the FDA
- Side effects of the extract form of Acai berry are unknown
- Not a long-term solution to weight loss
- Automatically enrolled in auto-shipment program upon signing up for the free trial offer
Acai Berry Power 500 contains a proprietary blend of pure Acai berry extract.ADMINISTRATION
It is recommended to take 2-3 capsules each day of Acai Berry Power 500 with a glass of water.DIET and EXERCISE
Although there is no specific dietary or exercise information cited on the company's website, consumers of Acai Berry Power 500 have had the best results when they follow a healthy diet and maintain a consistent exercise routine.CONCLUSION
There is no question that the Acai berry is a true superfood. But when any food is broken down into an extract form and used in a supplement form, many of its benefits are often lost. In addition, there is still no direct proof that the Acai berry can aid in weight loss.
Acai Berry Power 500 is a dietary supplement that may help you reap some of the advantages of the Acai berry in a convenient form but all of its claims cannot be substantiated. Even though the Acai berry is believed to be a very safe food, check with your doctor first before taking Acai berry, particularly is you have any food allergies.Common Misspellings

the number given to cancel DOES NOT WORK. I've been trying to cancel and can't, now I'm being billed b/f the time I even should have been.
Do not fall for this. I was billed almost 90 dollars before the time I should have been and the number given to cancel does not even work. Don't fall for this scam!
I have found 4 numbers you can call and i just kept calling each one until someone finally answered i had to site for a little while but it was worth it to not be charge the 85 dollar amount
3)1-877-350-8515 (I finally got ahold of someone on this #)
I also have not yet received it or the Total Cleanse that was marketed along side of it. I called all three numbers and experienced the same deal. Is it a scam? They are branding it on Facebook with Oprah.
DO NOT..and I repeat...DO NOT ORDER ACAI BERRY or TOTAL CLEANSE unless you want to pay for it 4-ever. I had to cancel my credit card. I called to cancel and the line has been busy for HOURS at Acai Berry - and it's disconnected at Total Cleanse. I only had ONE DAY to try to Acai Berry before my 14 day trial was up. I have never felt so stupid as I do for having ordered either one of these products.
i like this article... ready to try
After reading what every one else said I want to cancel my free trial. I used my credit card about a week ago and it hasn't come yet and I don't want to get charged for anything else. I called two numbers one was a busy signal the other one wasn't even connected does anyone have a number to cancel this?
whats the number to cancel the automatic monthly billing?? i just want to try the free trial
i hate this. i prderd my product and never got to try the trial. ive been trying to call and cancel as well.. please if anyone knows a number i can try email me. i cant deal with this anymore.. i feel like reporting them to channel 9 news
I tried the acai supplement and it did work. Lost 6 lbs in the first week. The think I am not happy about is the cost and the fact that you don't get to actually try the trial size and see if it works before they charge your card for the next month. I got the trial and soon after was charged for another month. Then tried to cancel and had a hard time getting thru. Finally canceled and I will wait until it is in the stores. Hopefully it is cheaper.
It took my credit card number and then on the page after that it said error on page and now wont let me get on it anymore... does anyone have the number to cancel it??
I ordered a month ago....have not got my free trial, although the S&H as charged....I THOUGHT THE FREE TRIAL WAS SO YOU COULD TRY IT AND DECIDE IF YOU WANT IT!!! Now they are charging my credit card and I haven't even received the product.....is this a SCAM? I'm in the process of contacting the Better Business Bureau, The Oprah show and Facebook.
I was all for trying Acai Berry power 500. But after reading all of the down sides to this product and reading that hardly any of you where able to get through to cancel your order, "I will wait for it to come out in the stores".
i think it is funny that you can get on and order the total cleanse but when it comes to the berry you can't get a trial because your state does not show up!!!!
Honestly I don't think it's worth it. Why don't people just do Dr. Ian Smith's fat smash diet from celebrity fit club. it does work and it's ligit. There's a book on it too. Sure it's hard, but it's worth it if you want to loose weight. It does the same thing, basically cleanses out your whole body.
Be careful or you will be spending $90 a month on this, and it does not work
I ordered my free trial yesterday. After reading many reviews I thought it might be worth it. So it's on its way. I also read the "fine print" and decided to cancel until I tested the product first. I tried canceling the same day with out any luck, (could not get a hold of someone). Today, I tried again today and after 30 min I had a person to assit me . She did try to convince me not to cancel, but I was firm and told her that after I tested the free trial , based on the results I would be more than happy to reactivate my account . She had no choice but to accept. So lets see waht happens.
It is possible to reach someone when you call to cancel. I was on the phone less than ten minutes.
Im not seeing any weight loss at all,actually looks as if I gained weight..Also never could get an answer when trying to cancel.I dont think it works at all...

I'll start by saying that I couldn't disagree more with Craig James' views.
But that's not the reason why James was fired after his short stint with Fox Sports Southwest.
In a statement addressing James' threat to sue over religious discrimination, Fox said:
"At Fox Sports we respect all points of view, and despite reports to the contrary, the decision to no longer use Craig James in our college football coverage was simply because he was not a good fit for Fox Sports. Mr. James, while both experienced and knowledgeable, is a polarizing figure in the college sports community. Regrettably, the decision to use him was not properly vetted, and as a result he will no longer provide commentary on Fox Sports Southwest's college football coverage."
Exactly. The key word is "polarizing."
While James has a right to say and believe whatever he wants, he also has to be willing to accept the backlash when it comes to his broadcast career. He has become a controversial figure whose views turn off a significant portion of the audience. I received several extreme anti-James Twitter responses after I published my post yesterday.
Sports networks like polarizing figures when it comes to their views on sports. But social views are a different story. In this case, Fox Sports determined having him as a commentator on college football wasn't worth the negative fallout.
Obviously, the person who hired him at Fox Sports Southwest didn't clear it with the upper executives at Fox. When the statement says he wasn't "properly vetted," it really means, "No way."
Surely, James will make more noise here. However, it likely won't help him.
Given his views, the fact that even Fox doesn't want him shows that his sports broadcast career is over.

The Howard Frankland Bridge
Dedicated on 15 January 1960, the Howard Frankland Bridge is the third crossing over Old Tampa Bay. Four years before in 1956, the second span of the Gandy Bridge opened carrying westbound traffic. In fact, the Gandy Bridge was the first crossing over Old Tampa Bay constructed way back in 1924. A few years after the Gandy Bridge opened sometime in 1927 the Ben T. Davis Causeway (later renamed the Courtney Campbell Causeway) was the second crossing over Old Tampa Bay connecting Tampa with Clearwater. The Howard Frankland Bridge served as the basis of the extension of what used to be initially Interstate 4.
The Howard Frankland Bridge was constructed utilizing a low level trestle with a high clearance at the midway point of the bridge (which is commonly known as the hump) plus dredged causeways on both the St. Petersburg and Tampa sides. Interchanges at Kennedy Boulevard (Exit 39A) on the Tampa side and at 4th Street North (Exit 32) and Ulmerton Road/Martin Luther King Street North (Exit 31) on the St. Petersburg side were constructed, as well as bridges on the interstate mainline and 4th Street North crossing Big Island Gap.
When the Howard Frankland Bridge first opened it had only a low center concrete divider; this created a dangerous situation with oncoming traffic plus a narrow span. The head-on collisions had gotten so numerous that a raised concrete wall divider (called a Jersey Barrier) had to be installed. Over the years the Howard Frankland Bridge had earned some distinctive nicknames such as the Howard Frankenstein and the Car Strangled Banner due to the volume of accidents that have occurred and the resulting traffic backups on the four-lane span.
In the 1970's a stalled vehicle warning system was installed that consisted of a series of push buttons along the length of the center section; when a button was pressed motorists were notified by the flashing sign "stalled vehicle" just before entering the center section. This was later replaced by a more sophisticated accident warning system utilizing overhead lane signals on the bridge and variable message signs at the approaches to the bridge. These variable message signs would have their normal messages but in the event of an accident or other incident that closes the bridge for any reason the messages would be changed by remote radio signal link to advise motorists to follow specially designated signs (these signs were an interstate shield with the legend N or S) that would take one across the Gandy Bridge to avoid the resulting congestion as a result of a temporary closure.
With the increased traffic plus the high rate of accidents and the bridge being four lanes with no emergency lane, a second span of the Howard Frankland Bridge was justified. Construction on the second span of the Howard Frankland Bridge began around 1989 and the second span was opened to traffic in 1991. The continued need for the variable message warning system was obviated now that the bridge is eight lanes, four lanes for northbound and four lanes for southbound.
Initially Interstate 4 was carried when the Howard Frankland Bridge opened but with the extension of Interstate 75 southward to St. Petersburg, it now carries Interstate 275 traffic. Today the Howard Frankland Bridge remains as an important icon of the Tampa Bay region.
Coverage of Interstate 275 continues south to St. Petersburg or north to Tampa.
Original Howard Frankland Bridge Dedication Program
Here is a transcribed copy in PDF format of the dedication program for the original Howard Frankland Bridge on 15 January 1960. Many thanks to Kris Carson at the Florida DOT for faxing the dedication program and another special thanks to Justin Cozart, bayciti.net webmaster (website defunct as of 2008), for pointing out the Howard Frankland Bridge original opening date!

New hunting Items?
well after looking at the new vendetta for my bow
It got me thinking is there any products out there new this year or been out there a while that is on your bucket list?
for me
Leupold Vendetta
new scope (unsure which one)
Carbon express Maxima Red arrows new 2013
about all I want to get
sorry for the Double post but I just saw these
Not thatI will be buying them: Bow-Mag - Rac-Em-Bac Arrowheads - Rac-Em-Bac Arrowheads. The Finest Shot On Fletching! Home of the Bow-Mag.
Really WHAT IS NEXT
Those are pretty wild. Not that I would use them either, but I wonder if there would be a legality issue with those??
I am pretty sure they wont be legal here in NH
John Rambo where are you? I can't see these legal in any archery season in any state. While they seem to have lethal effects maybe would be legal in gun only seasons??? You gotta admit they look pretty cool.
it is a great invention but not a good idea for "Archery" hunting, I'll be surprised if that company gets any state to allow their product to be used on any Bow hunt.
if they fire on impact, , doesn't it sound like an accident just waiting to happen? bump into something or trip and fall on the way in to your stand, etc etc etc..
nope, I don't like the thought of what could possibly happen using them things. :no:
I hear they are legal in Texas for Hogs
& Bruce I agree I am worried enough when I am hunting with an arrow nocked

STREAMING: Thulcandra "Exalted Resistance"/
Steffen Kummerer is better known for his stupidly good guitar and vocal work in the obscenely great tech death outfit Obscura. But Kummerer has a dark side. One that harkens back to the mid-'90s, when Swedish death metal tyrants Dissection reigned the cold winds of nowhere and drank, with pure joy, night's blood with Elizabeth Bathory. For the better part of two albums, both adorned in Necrolord Blue, Kummerer and Thulcandra created the best Swedish black/death since Dissection went on hiatus. While there's a certain level of homage to Thulcandra's music and visual aesthetic, there's no denying the magic in albums Fallen Angel's Dominion and Under a Frozen Sun. Thulcandra are able to get the right vibe, the right sound, and make it (somewhat) their own.
Well, new album, Ascension Lost, continues the Munich-based outfits descent into hells of hell. In short, it's another fantastic entry, still in Necrolord Blue, by a band that shows no signs of lessening their homage to Dissection and a sound, a Swedish sound, that's all but lost today.
With great anticipation, we bring you: "Exalted Resistance"
** Thulcandra's new album, Ascension Lost, is out February 10th on Napalm Records. It's available HERE as a limited edition digipak. This is a pre-order.

In the first, on the morning of 18 July, a woman got off a bus in Barrack Road, Newcastle, and was followed by a man who had also got off the vehicle.
As she entered Leazes Park, the man assaulted her.
In the second, on the afternoon of 20 July, a 17-year-old girl was befriended by a man who then sexually assaulted her in the park.
In the first incident, the attacker was described as black, with short black hair, aged 24-26, about 5ft 7ins tall, wearing a long-sleeved shirt with white around the neck, and black trousers.
In the second, the attacker was Asian, about 25, with short black spiky hair, 5ft 8ins tall, slim to muscular, unshaven and wearing a red vest with writing across the front, three-quarter length white trousers and black flip flops.

Polycot is a wheat beer brewed with hundreds of pounds of organic apricots grown in Southern California's High Desert. We brew this beer during the very small window of time when the apricots are at their peak of freshness, usually early July. The pureed apricots add a wonderful fruit flavor to the beer and combine with the wheat for a refreshing tart finish. This beer goes down smooth, but at over 1.5 times the alcohol of the Orange Wheat, it will sneak up on you. Additional Information: The name Polycot (Poly=Many cot=Apricot) is a modification of the original name Paulycot. Paul-yicot was named for owner Ben Cook's friend Paul who provided the apricots for the initial batch. Hangar 24 would also like to acknowledge and thank the many volunteers who spend hours pitting (and de-stickering) thousands of apricots for the brew. We couldn't make this wonderful beer without you!

text: The sound of one ant walking – inside the world of a wildlife audio expert Chris Watson, who has worked on Attenborough's Frozen Planet and Life in the Undergrowth, shares a remarkable insight into sound recording, some exclusive clips - and his feelings about music in wildlife shows Comments Written By David Crawford 3:36 PM, 19 February 2013 During an acclaimed career working on radio and TV documentaries Chris Watson has become renowned for creating evocative soundscapes that either conjure up the atmosphere of a particular place or take listeners into locations where the human ear cannot normally hear. So it's not surprising to learn that one of the things that spurred him to start a career in wildlife sound recording was something that exercises a lot of people: the overwhelming use of music in wildlife documentaries. "In the early 80s I became interested in wildlife film-making, which I'd been watching on television, and had been completely appalled at the quality of the wildlife soundtracks, as I mostly still am today. Totally, totally swamped in inappropriate music." Referring to a recent letter in Radio Times complaining about the music in the series Africa, he wonders why such a recurring complaint never seems to be addressed. "Why don't producers take any notice? Is it because they have shorter attention spans than everyone else? I just don't understand it. When I do talks and presentations about my work, I always ask people, 'Is there anybody here who thinks there is not enough music in wildlife documentaries?'" Understandably, the answer is always no. Watson suggests that the use of natural sounds – or even the complete removal of sound – can be far more powerful than adding an unnecessary score, and is scathing about the overuse of music. "Pumping it up with music is like being filled with steroids. It just inflates it, pointlessly. It's just sad, and it's so easy. It's not cheap, but it's a relatively easy way out. It also defines a lack of imagination." Watson is aware more than most of the challenges of marrying pictures and sounds, as exemplified by his story of working on David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth. While out in Costa Rica for the series, Watson was able to capture the incredible sound of one solitary ant. "It's actually a really good challenge when you get sounds like that because I'm often asked by producers 'Oh, we've got this amazing bit of animal behaviour, can you get some sound for it?' But sometimes I can say to a producer, 'Look I've got this recording of an ant walking, you can hear its individual footfalls, can you get some pictures to go with that?' It's always too great a challenge for them, but I love asking because I'm always asked to do the reverse." As the camera crew were unable to get suitable footage, the recording was never broadcast in the series. But Watson has agreed to plunder his archive and give RT readers an exclusive listen to a microscopic world. Here, for the first time, is the astonishing "Sound of One Ant Walking". The only way that Watson was able to capture sound in such detail was thanks to the help of Peng Lee, a man with perhaps the greatest job title in the world – Principal Investigator of Insect Acoustics at the University of Mississippi. Lee was researching how to record within ants' nests and had made a highly specialised piece of equipment to do so. When Watson told him he was making a programme about ants at the same time, Lee sent over two of his strange, home-made devices. "They're literally like black box devices with a knitting needle on a wire. But they were actually classified at the time and we had to battle to get clearance to have them exported from US customs." Wildlife sound recordist recording ants within their nest Deploying new technology to interesting effect is something Watson has been doing all his recording life. The first step he took on his journey into sound happened back in the 60s, during his early teens, after his parents had bought him a reel-to-reel tape recorder. It involved a kind of aural epiphany, and is something he describes in detail in the Radio 4 documentary The Listeners (available on BBC iPlayer here). One day he was standing in the family kitchen watching starlings feeding at the bird table in the garden, when he realised he was merely watching; he could hear nothing of the birds' activity. "I was watching through a large picture window that gave it a large CinemaScope frame. But it was like watching a silent film." Realising he could use his new present to rectify this, he attached the tape recorder and microphone to the bird table, pressed record and waited. The results were a revelation. "I was just amazed at what I heard. This was the sound of another world. A world where we cannot be because our presence would affect it. All this beautiful, exquisite, fascinating detail came out." At the time, Watson was living on the edge of the Peak District and would often take walks in the countryside, which piqued his interest in wildlife further. In the meantime he was also becoming interested in music, and the idea of using tape recorders to create it from everyday sounds. Watson went on to become a founding member of pioneering 70s industrial rock band Cabaret Voltaire, though throughout what many might describe as his rock 'n' roll years, he still retained his love of recording the natural world. "It was a perfect antidote to being confined in the studio, getting outside, and in the end, I was very interested in what we were doing musically and it was an exciting time, but I guess I just became more interested in what I was hearing and recording outside than the music we were making inside in the studio." Wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson recording in the field So, in the early 80s he joined Tyne Tees Television – then a large, independent television company – as a trainee in the sound department. Over the course of three years it provided him with a solid grounding in the basics of location recording, as he moved from news – covering the miners' strike – and documentary to drama and farming outlook. He also got to work on The Tube, the music show that the nascent Channel 4 bought from Tyne Tees. Assisting a sound recordist on documentary films, Watson found himself being asked to fly out to Jamaica to record such reggae luminaries as Lee Scratch Perry and Sly and Robbie, as well as jetting to Nassau for films on Robert Palmer and John Martyn. "It was just amazing, incredible. So, of course we were there to do these music documentaries, but my other interest was taking this state-of-the-art professional recording equipment and going and recording the birds and the animals." Back in the UK, Watson was then able to convince the dubbing mixers to weave his wildlife recordings into the films, to fill in any dead sound space – a more cost effective solution than going back out to re-record. It's something Watson credits with influencing his work to this day. "I guess that is why a lot of my work has a narrative element because I think of it cinematically; it's not abstract, it has almost a linear progression, most of my pieces." Even in what is an otherworldly soundscape, such as the recording from deep within a glacier, Watson claims there is a narrative at work even if it sounds abstract. And the act of drawing sound out from places such as a glacier or from under the sea is something that really appeals to him. "I do love that aspect of putting microphone where you can't put your ears, because then you make the world come alive. It's also because of the cliche about radio being better than television because the pictures are better is true, because it sparks your imagination. I think sound, in a very particular and emotive way, strikes directly into our hearts and imaginations." Though there may be certain places on Earth you just can't hear, such as volcanos, Watson is one person who has gone further than any in uncovering hidden worlds of sound. One of his favourite pieces is from another David Attenborough documentary, Frozen Planet. It's the sound of Weddell seals singing under the sea ice. "It is another world, but it does sound as if it's from outer space, this wailing voice. But because it's recorded under the sea ice, there's no wave action, so it doesn't sound underwater but there are these haunting voices that are absolutely amazing." "I love that aspect of fishing for sound underwater or putting geophones or hydrophones in glaciers, or underground," says Watson. He also speaks admiringly of a man featured in The Listeners, who records earthquakes and who captured the terrifying, chilling sound of the Japanese tsunami. "[He was] saying so much, just with sound; the force, or some of the force, of what was happening," recalls Watson, before adding "I also like using very small microphones in very small spaces, so you tune in to the world in a very different way, and people find that very engaging. Again that works particularly well on radio." One such place was the internal organ of a caterpillar, which he managed to capture, again for Life in the Undergrowth. The only time the caterpillar makes this internal sound is when it has been taken into an ants nest, supposedly to be predated, but instead its stridulations cause the ants to feed it. And the only way that Watson could capture that sound was with the impressive-sounding particle velocity microphone, a highly specialised bit of equipment that would never fit into an ants' nest in the wild. In the end, it was all recorded in a Bristol studio, with the caterpillar placed on the microphone to fully capture its enticing sound. Nowadays there might be screaming headlines about faked footage, then the recording process was captured on the BBC Six O'Clock News in the "And finally..." slot. Watson often works in extreme close-up, and it was his experience working on Big Cat Diary that first led him to those intimate perspectives. He realised that while the camera crew could sit in a vehicle with their feet up and use a £50,000 telephoto lens to get a close-up of an animal's eye 50 metres away, there was no aural equivalent. So he started to play around with mic'ing things up very closely. He'd wanted to get decent sound of vultures predating a zebra carcass and carried out a unique experiment with a Christmas turkey to check his method. The Christmas before he was due to go out to the Masai Mara for Big Cat Diaries he took the turkey carcass the day after Boxing Day – when no-one wants any more turkey – and staked it out in his back garden with tent pegs. Placing two little personal microphones in the cavity he relayed a cable back inside the house to his stereo. Eventually starlings came down and attacked the carcass, pecking it to pieces, and he got this incredible bit of close recording. "It was a bit like the revelation of my first recording 30 years previously where I was taken into this other world that we can never be in. It was remarkably powerful, visceral recording, it was like having your skull pecked out because they were so close." He then transported that process to Kenya and got incredible close-up audio, from a few centimetres away, of vultures devouring a zebra carcass. "Then of course, when you get to use that, the pictures become redundant because our imaginations take over. Sound where you don't need an image, because it's so powerful." A great example of that comes in a story of an installation Watson did at Kew Gardens' Palm House. He'd placed tiny speakers amid the foliage throughout the building, playing tropical rainforest sounds that seemed to emerge from the forest environment itself. When he was setting it up, there were two elderly women sitting on one of the benches in the Palm House with their sandwiches, listening. Suddenly the recording of howler monkeys he'd made in Costa Rica started up in the canopy over their heads. As Watson recalls, "This elderly lady said to me, 'What on earth is that?' I said "It's a howler monkey." And she went "Really?" And she stood up and started peering through the foliage, and I thought if this woman thinks there are howler monkeys, it 100% works. She really thought there was a howler monkey up there." Watson tries to avoid distinctions between his TV and radio work and his artistic installations and soundscape albums, but there is one important difference with installations that he particularly enjoys: the ability to share in his audience's enjoyment. It's something he's been finding ever more rewarding in work he has been doing at Alder Hey and Royal London Children's Hospital, where not only has he been providing soundscapes but also giving the young patients access to his sound files to play with and manipulate as they see fit. "What I love about my work is that I when I go on location there's only me who can hear the world in that particular way at that moment, you tune into the world in your own unique way you can't share that with anyone on location, because you have headphones on. So I like that aspect of it, I like the solitary aspect of it, selfishly. It's sort of like a retreat. But what I also like is to play them back to people directly and then rework them, whether it's in a workshop or at Alder Hey, wherever it is sharing them, broadcasting them in the widest sense is the best bit of what I do." Asked what the future holds, Watson talks of interesting plans to provide sounds for an independent film, but he is clearly more excited about making a radio documentary and sound installation featuring the song of the blue whale, something which he has long wished to capture. He knows that he is going to Iceland in June to attempt to record blue whales, but is unsure when the documentary will be aired. Though he does know where to find out about it. "I don't know. We make the programme, then I don't know what happens, it sort of disappears. I normally read about it in the Radio Times when it's going out. The first time I see it is in the Radio Times. It's great, I love it." Ant image by Alex Wild: alexanderwild.com Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

My fiancee really likes cabs, so I bought this a few weeks ago. It's really very good, especially for the price. It's not as "weak" as I anticipated, given I'm a Zin/Malbec guy and she's been thrilled with it. For this price, anyone who is remotely interested in a pretty good cab -- maybe VERY GOOD at this price -- should pick up a six pack.
Boo. Rack & Riddle offered at midnight? Only sad cuz I slept through it...
I bought this a few months back when it was $49.99 for 6. I'm not sure why they would up the price for a woot-off. I think it's a great offering for this price. We have drank about half the case I purchased so I am tempted to buy more. I mean it's only $5 more, but for some reason that really bothers me. #winoissues
Fourth time I've bought this wine. Haven't found anyone that doesn't like it, and for ~$10 a bottle it's priced right.
I have already gone through 18 bottles of this, in for another 12. Everyone that tries it loves it.
This is an excellent buy for price. Iwill definately purchase.
So my doctor said I should drink a glass (five ounces) of wine every night because it fights high cholesterol by increasing your good cholesterol. It also reduces risks or neurological disease such as Alzimer's and dementia (I'm already demented, so I guess we can scratch that one off the list), as well as reduces your risk of certain cancers. I'm not making this up. In fact, up until yesterday, I couldn't stand wine. That fermented taste is way too much. So I went to the wine store and told the lady that, and asked her to help me pick a red wine that has low fermented taste. She suggested Atichi Gochi Pemontesi and said to serve it chilled. It's border line grape juice with a tiny hint of fermentation and a tiny hint of carbonation. Chilled it tastes great but at room temp, you definitely taste the fermentation. So my question is, is all wine like that, or just that particular type? In other words, does it have less of a fermented taste if it's chilled? If not, what would you recommend if I wanted a sweet wine with little fermentation taste. On a side note, it is recommended that guys have two glasses of wine a night. Lucky bastards.
This was an impulse buy for me when it was on here a few weeks back, and I've been VERY happy with the purchase. So much so that I didn't hesitate when I saw it here again just now. Very nice and full-bodied...

In the end, I got over the price increase and bought another case. It's a great wine, especially for the price. It has a wonderful body and nice finish. I like my Cabs to be on the spicier side, and this one certain has some spice.
I'm glad I'll be able to enjoy this wine well into March! ;-)
leaving for Las Vegas in 2 hrs, will miss my 1st woot off ever, could be a good thing
This is a wine that can easily be replaced by any random bottle of wine on your nearest grocery store shelf. It's that mediocre. You guys please buy this up so it doesn't occupy any more space on the next woot off. By far my worst wine woot purchase.

Have 2 1/2 cases of this from previous offers....Maxed out....Very good $10 a bottle wine....
I have gotten Copa cabs 3 times now & am absolutely thrilled EVERY time it is offered! My hubby & I have a wide red palate and love the weight and taste of this wonderful wine. I was so excited to check in to the woot-off again this morning & see Copa as the offering!

BURRELL TOWNSHIP — District residents and football players questioned members of the Blairsville-Saltsburg school board about the recent resignation of Blairsville head football coach Ab Dettorre at Wednesday's meeting.
Dettorre, who served as head football coach for 26 seasons, had decided to retire as a physical education teacher but planned to stay on as an associate athletic director and football coach.
But he later announced his retirement, citing problems with the school board and superintendent.
He was told earlier that week, he said, that the weight room would be off limits this summer due to construction, among other reasons.
"I've alluded to a lot of things over the years, and it's just a culmination," he said in a June 7 story in the Gazette. "I can't fight the battles anymore."
His decision to retire was announced to the district June 6 in a one-sentence resignation letter.
Dettorre was not present at the meeting.
District resident Leisa Noel spoke during a public comment session at the board meeting Wednesday, saying that what students will remember most from high school are the special events, such as sports. She stressed the importance of high school sports and said, for some students, it is the motivation that keeps them in school.
Football, she said, provides a positive sense of self, and Dettorre was the man at the center of that program.
She alleged the board played a role in his departure, and said his retirement should've been on his terms.
Addressing her concerns, B. Edward Smith, board president, said "Abby's a great man," and that Smith was "dumbfounded" when Dettorre announced his retirement.
He and Dettorre are neighbors, Smith said, and recently had a conversation about how Dettorre intended to remain as coach for a few more years.
Smith said he had no idea "why he (Dettorre) chose this," a comment that brought sarcastic laughter from Dettorre's supporters in the audience.
Later in the meeting, the board voted 7-2 to accept Dettorre's resignation, with members Holly Gibson and Rick Harper against the motion.
Gibson and Harper also voted against advertising to fill the head coaching position for the 2013-14 year.

Citation: Rango, A. 2006. Snow: The real water supply for the Rio Grande basin. New Mexico Journal of Science. 44:99-118. Interpretive Summary: Few people live near the source of the majority of streamflow in the Rio Grande Basin; namely, the high mountain snow basins, but rather the population is concentrated in large cities in the Chihuahuan Desert. In order to impress upon the public the importance of snow, the potential effects of climate change, and the need to improve water management, various pertinent facts need to be established and documented. The discontinuity between desert and snow source areas are established, the important snowmelt basins are delineated, and a model is usded to forecast flows and evaluate the effects of climate change in 2050 and 2100. Large changes in our ability to manage our valuable water resoruce will be needed if we are to have enough water in 50 - 100 years. With the data in mind, we can move forward a new system to cope with the expected changes. Planners need to take these changes under advisement now in order to have a new system in place in 50 -100 years.
Technical Abstract: The Rio Grande basin in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico is an important drainage in southwestern North America, vital for water consumption by a rapidly growing population, irrigated agriculture, economic development, preservation of endangered species, and energy generation. The most important source of water in the Rio Grande drainage results from snowmelt in the mountains of the upper basin. The gap between water supply and water demand is continually increasing as the population increases, and long term climate change further will affect the amount and timing of streamflow. The criticality of these problems will continue unabated through the 21st Century. Planning to cope with these water management problems needs to move now from relying on projections derived from current storage in reservoirs to additionally incorporating new technologies for measurements and hydrological modeling to allow the development of likely scenarios in both the short and long term. Models that can accept and integrate all types of measurements need to be utilized. Such models exist and are ready to be used operationally. Examples are given of both daily flow forecasts for an entire snowmelt season in the basin as well as predictions of future changes in streamflow to be expected under conditions of climate change. These types of data are vital in deciding among various future options which include the determination of the cost of water, controls on industrial and domestic development, new water distribution and storage systems, and the implementation of water conservation measures.

Inside the Third Reich: Memoirs
by Albert Speer
Books about World War II (140)
Best Biographies (126)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
On the whole this is a surprisingly dull memoir by Speer, Hitler's pet architect and later Minister of Armaments and Munitions for the Nazi regime. Perhaps this has something to do with Speer's dry German temperament, or maybe it just underscores the banality of evil. It's not a case of the author having absolutely nothing interesting to say (for instance, he recalls Hitler scolding Hess for bringing his own specially-prepared vegetarian meal to the Fuehrer's dinner table, and ridicules Himmler: "Himmler, on the other hand, obviously was going his own absurd way, which was compounded of beliefs about an original Germanic race, a brand of elitism, and an assortment of health-food notions...When, for example, the Japanese presented him with a samurai sword, he at once discovered kinships between Japanese and Teutonic cults, and called upon scientists to help him trace these similarities to a racial common denominator"), but unless you have a fetish for the minutiae of Nazi architecture, Inside the Third Reich is a bit of a snoozer. Speer was an architect, after all, and has few profound insights to offer about his party's role in history; he admits that he rationalized Hitler's actions, that he exposed himself as little as possible to the horrific reality of his government's racial and eugenics campaigns, and leaves it at that.
Objectively, two and a half stars...but I'll give it three because Speer was actually there.
Fascinating account of Nazi Germany and Hitler by a very interesting person. It's quite unique memoirs coming from somebody that was very close to Hitler circle. It's well written and seemingly honest - at least, until last chapters where Speer describes his altruistic actions and I am not sure whether I can believe him. The story of young architect getting in a few years to the height of power through dictator's benevolence and his own abilities is interesting by itself. Add to that the historical background, intimate details of Reich leaders and very close connection to Hitler, and it becomes essential reading for anybody interested in Third Reich history.
Speer's memoir of his life during the Third Reich is an extremely dull read. The first half, when he was only Hitler's architect, has him going over buildings in minute detail, with hardly anything else mentioned. When he becomes Minister of Armaments, he totally shifts interest to citing figures on production of material, and how he criticized the Reich leadership for their ineptitude in fighting the war. He spends copious amounts of time repeating that the various leaders and their infighting stalled production, and ruined Germany's chances for the war. He also spends a good portion of the book describing his meetings with Hitler. However, these were daily occurances, and Speer seems to want to recall every note and memorandum he sent to Hitler for his approval. Only at the end of the book when he describes his time post-Hitler and his captivity under the Allies is the book get interesting. Other than that, it is a rather dreary look at the Third Reich.
This is an essential source of information on Hitler and World War II. Speer began as an architect for Hitler, himself absorbed with architecture from early manhood, who advanced to be head of all German war materials. The photographs - and they are plentiful - are testimony themselves to Speer's access to the German leader. He spent his 20 year in prison writing this memoir. Reviewers properly look for lapses and shading ot the truth, and it may well be there, but it is largely an accurate account.
I want to keep my distance from a work like this because although I feel Speer is mostly an honest narrator, his clear, somewhat banal account of the Third Reich, Hitler, and his own activities read like a generic memoir, somehow perverting the madness of the time—the destruction, inhuman cruelty, and the quest for absolute power. By giving us this account, Speer affirms that for the most part the atrocities of the the Third Reich were carried out by otherwise normal, almost boring men, like himself, who were tasked with a mission and carried it out to the best of their abilities. (Speer affirms this view on page 344, when he talks of an article in The Observer that spoke of him as the leader of a highly efficient, impersonal technocracy.) My fear is that this is not a sufficiently emotional account to teach us anything. It gives us an inside look, yes, but it is so self absorbed that we lose the broader view of the war's effects. We miss the sufferings of millions because we are tangled in Speer's account of day-to-day travels, power struggles within the regime, and the stubborn madness of Hitler.
Could this memoir be anything else? Should it be? Probably not. I just can't help but feel that Speer's last sacrifice should be to accept alienation, where his memoirs, like his architecture, become lost to that time.

Wikipedia in English (34)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0684829495, Paperback)From 1946 to 1966, while serving the prison sentence handed down from the Nuremburg War Crimes tribunal, Albert Speer penned 1,200 manuscript pages of personal memoirs. Titled Erinnerungen ("Recollections") upon their 1969 publication in German, Speer's critically acclaimed personal history was translated into English and published one year later as Inside the Third Reich. Long after their initial publication, Speer's memoir continues to provide one of the most detailed and fascinating portrayals of life within Hitler's inner circles, the rise and fall of the third German empire, and of Hitler himself.
Speer chronicles his entire life, but the majority of Inside the Third Reich focuses on the years between 1933 and 1945, when Speer figured prominently in Hitler's government and the German war effort as Inspector General of Buildings for the Renovation of the Federal Capital and later as Minister of Arms and Munitions. Speer's recollections of both duties foreground the impossibility of reconciling Hitler's idealistic, imperialistic ambitions with both architectural and military reality. Throughout, Inside the Third Reich remains true to its author's intentions. With compelling insight, Speer reveals many of the "premises which almost inevitably led to the disasters" of the Third Reich as well as "what comes from one man's holding unrestricted power in his hands." -- Bertina Loeffler

Undead Massacrin' FTW
I really enjoyed this game (although the tougher achievements have been out of my reach so far...like a top 2 high score: #4 currently for the day). The strategy of which weapon to dedicate to and the flamethrower/nuke powerups among others just adds to the fun.
A little help for the Battletoads-hard complainers:
1. Pick a weapon to upgrade at the jump and stick with it. Then simply upgrade the stats that will compensate for that weapons weaknesses i.e. added damage/crit if using Machine Gun, added reload/fire rate if using Shotgun, and a little of everything if using handgun and/or all weapons.
2. Level 12 and up means Health pump exclusively. By level 12 and up it will take forever to end a wave (health regens at the end of a wave btw) so you need to pump max health and not attempt to raise the others. By then you'll get powerups quite often and they'll make up a lot of your killing power.
3. Suicide running works: What I mean by this is shooting while going to one side of the screen, turning, and then going back to the other side over and over. This allows you to bunch up the zombies in groups while ensuring that those same zombies only touch you briefly as you pass by or not at all if you can create some gaps in their ranks. I've been able to almost get 3 million points this way. By the time you need to do this, in addition, you'll have almost maxed your weapon of choice and picking up money will be less of an issue.
Anywho this game is awesome and I'll keep working on that high score and the achievements I'm missing.
Glad you liked it pal :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
i played about 8 times its just too hard :/
wayyyy to hard bro, make it fun and crank down the dificulty a notch
I will add three different diffeculties in my next game.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This game is really fun. One problem though, the zombies move too fast. A real life zombie would literally fall apart if running that fast. (Yes, I consider myself a zombie expert)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Take that you maggot addicts!
I Agree with AikoAiko. It's kinda funny how I wasted 3 hours on this game. xD Then again I kill zombies for sport. :D It's a great game.
Glad I was able to wast 3 hours of your life :), and thanks for the kind review

Live Commentary
Cardiff now sit at the foot of the table and two points adrift of safety. Cala's red card will dominate the post-match thoughts of Solskjaer, but he must now concentrate on going to Newcastle and winning next week. For now though, I've been Tom Maston, and thanks for joining me.
The full-time whistle blows and Sunderland have taken a huge step towards survival with a thumping victory. They have games in hand on their rivals and are out of the relegation zone now. Poyet is masterminding a great escape in the North East.
90' + 4'Yellow Card Craig Gardner
90' + 4'Into the final minute of stoppage time now and the trial is almost over for the visitors.
90' + 2'Giaccherini looks to add a fifth as he breaks down the left before cutting inside, but his effort is a weak one and Marshall can hold on with ease.
90'The Cardiff fans are continuing to sing but they look like they are going to struggle to survive now. They most likely require two wins from their final two matches to have any hope of avoiding the drop.
88'Jones finally gets a chance to test Mannone but he cannot force the goalkeeper into a save as he heads Bellamy's cross from the left over the top.
86'Assist Emanuele Giaccherini
86'Goal Connor Wickham
GOAL!!! And right on cue Wickham nods in his second goal of the afternoon. Giaccherini floats in a corner that the striker does well to get his head on ahead of Theophile-Catherine. The ball deflects off the defender but this is Wickham's goal, and his fifth in three matches.
85'Wickham wins yet another Sunderland corner as he is tackled by Theophile-Catherine. The frontman has been very impressive this afternoon...
84'SubstitutionAdam Johnson Craig Gardner
84'SubstitutionJack Colback Liam Bridcutt
83'Yellow Card Fabio Borini
Borini picks up a booking as Sunderland make their final two chanes of the afternoon. Colback and Johnson are those given the last few minutes off, with Bridcutt and Gardner on in their places.
82'Sunderland seem fairly content with their lead now as they pass the ball around in a patient manner inside their own half. For such an important game, they have found it far too comfortable.
80'Cardiff's defence has been so poor and Whittingham this time loses out to Johnson. Eventually the hosts win a corner from which Colback drives just over the top from 20 yards.
78'Sunderland have fully deserved this scoreline, and though Cardiff will argue about the penalty decision that saw Cala sent off, they just haven't done enough to even deserve a point. They are set to drop to the bottom of the Premier League table.
76'Assist Fabio Borini
76'Yellow Card Emanuele Giaccherini
76'Goal Emanuele Giaccherini
GOAL!!! Game, set and match to Sunderland as the Italians combine! Borini picks the ball up from Wickham before himself feeding Giaccherini. The substitute is able to get in behind Medel and slots past Marshall. He does, however, pick up a booking for removing his shirt in celebration.
75'Wickham has so much confidence now as he runs at the Cardiff defence before cutting inside and powering a shot wide of the post. Cardiff just cannot get the ball at the moment.
74'SubstitutionFraizer Campbell Craig Bellamy
One last throw of the dice for Cardiff as Bellamy replaces Campbell. The former Newcastle man doesn't get the warmest of welcomes from the home crowd.
73'SubstitutionSebastian Larsson Emanuele Giaccherini
Sunderland make their first change as Larsson is replaced by Giaccherini in midfield.
72'GOOD SAVE! Sunderland again overrun the visitors as a number of players combine before Colback crosses from the left and Borini is denied from close range by the reactions of Marshall. Inexplicably, the officials award a goal kick despite the save from the Scot.
70'Cardiff are being forced in defensive mode at the moment, meaning they are not reaping the rewards of playing with three strikers. Jones has been involved more in his own box than the oppositions since coming on.
68'Sunderland again threaten from a corner as Brown heads over the top after Larsson's delivery was deflected off a Cardiff head on it's way over.
66'Cardiff have now gone with three men up front, with Whittingham moving to full-back. Solskjaer obviously realises the importance of this game and isn't going to let his side go down wondering. They have just over 20 minutes to get something from this one.
64'SubstitutionFabio Da Silva Kenwyne Jones
Cardiff make yet another attacking change as Jones replaces Fabio for the visitors.
64'Whittingham has been excellent from dead balls today, and he almost gets the visitors back into it as he tries his luck from a free-kick that takes a deflection off Wickham, and Mannone does well to change direction and parry it away from danger.
62'The hosts again come forward as Colback brings the ball forward from midfield before finding Borini. Wickham is calling for the ball in the middle but the Italian chooses to shoot, but his effort is sliced and well wide of the post.
61'Sunderland almost take advantage of the gaps that have appeared as Johnson gets away down the left, but his low cross is just ahead of both Wickham and Borini and the chance is gone.
59'With the addition of Zaha, Cardiff certainly look much of a threat coming forward, but they are slightly exposed at the back. Sunderland will certainly fancy themselves to score more goals before the final whistle.
57'JUST WIDE! Cardiff go close as Whittingham whips in a corner from the left, and after losing his marker Brown, Mutch flashes a free header just wide of the left-hand upright. The visitors' best chance.
56'O'Shea was in fact taken out by Mannone, but seems fine to continue after receiving some treatment from the physio.
55'Some concern here for Sunderland as John O'Shea goes down after earlier being caught while defending a set-piece. Even with their lead, they won't want to lose their captain for any time.
54'Yellow Card Sebastian Larsson
53'Yellow Card Fabio Da Silva
Fabio is in trouble here as he responds to a foul by Borini shoving Larsson over in his rush to get the ball back. Dowd rightly books him despite him doing his best to get it overturned. Larsson is also booked for his part in the incident though he did little wrong.
51'Sunderland fans appeal for a penalty as Johnson goes down under a challenge from Theophile-Catherine, but Dowd rightly waves play on.
50'Borini is finding a lot of space as Sunderland's numerical advantage begins to show, and the Liverpool loanee goes close with a curling effort after being found by Larsson. Unfortunately for the hosts the shot didn't have the necessary bend and flew wide of Marshall's left-hand post.
48'Sunderland have started the second half as they began the first as they look to put Cardiff under pressure from the off. Medel has slipped into the back four alongside Caulker, and Wickham may well look to target him with his runs.
46'SubstitutionDon Cowie Wilfried Zaha
Zaha has replaced Cowie, and Sunderland get us back underway...
The players are making their way back out onto the field, and Solskjaer is going to make a change with Zaha about to come on. They certainly need to do something different as they chase the game.
Solskjaer must now give his team their biggest team talk of the season if they are to get back into this one. Wickham and Borini's goals have put the hosts in complete control, and with Cala sent off Cardiff have a mountain to climb. I'll be back in ten minutes to see if they can get back into it.
The half-time whistle goes and Cardiff are still arguing with Dowd as they make their way from the field. Replays suggest the original foul was outside the box, and the delay between the foul and the decision will not have pleased the visitors either.
45' + 1'Penalty Goal Fabio Borini
GOAL!!! Cool as you like from Borini and this is Sunderland's to lose now. The Italian takes a break in his run-up before slotting the ball into the bottom corner. Marshall goes the right way but cannot keep it out, and the visitors are furious with that decision.
45'Red Card Cala
RED CARD!!! Cardiff are down to ten men and Sunderland have a penalty! Cala loses the ball to Wickham before pulling the striker back. After waving play on, Sunderland eventually lose the ball, but Dowd pulls play back and sends Cala off for the original tug. Borini to take...
43'Cardiff are having their best period of the match as we approach half-time, but in truth they aren't looking like finding an equaliser. Poyet can be pleased with the way his side have gone about this first half.
41'Cardiff continue to pass the ball around in midfield well enough without making any inroads into the Sunderland defence. An outlet such as Zaha or Bellamy may be required early in the second period.
39'Yellow Card Gary Medel
Phil Dowd is being forced into handing out a number of bookings now as Medel has his name taken for a poor challenge on Colback as he looked to break from midfield.
37'Yellow Card Santiago Vergini
Mutch is now on the receiving end as Vergini dives in on the Sunderland right and the full-back picks up a yellow card of his own.
36'Yellow Card Jordon Mutch
Mutch and Cattermole have been getting involved with each other for a while now, and the former picks up the first booking of the match for needlessly jumping into the Sunderland midfielder as he tried to win a high ball.
35'Sunderland again come forward as Caulker's headed clearance lands at the feet of Colback, but the midfielder cannot get his shot on target from the edge of the area.
33'Cala gets himself in all sorts of trouble as a long ball sails over him for Borini to run onto. The Italian then feeds Wickham, but Caulker gets across well to block his effort.
32'Despite playing with five men in midfield, Cardiff are offering the likes of Colback and Larsson far too much time on the ball. Solsjkaer could do with telling his players to press higher up the field here.
30'Little in the way of goalmouth action since Wickham's opener as the two teams take stock of the situation. As it stands the Black Cats will climb not only off the foot of the table but also out of the relegation zone with three matches to play.
28'The home side have deserved their lead after dominating play here, and Cardiff may now begin to come out of their shell. They've looked threatening at times on the break but O'Shea and Brown have been fairly comfortable.
26'Assist Sebastian Larsson
26'Goal Connor Wickham
GOAL!!! You just cannot stop Wickham scoring at the moment! Larsson delivers another corner from the left-hand side, and after Campbell misses his attempted clearance, Wickham gets above Theopile-Catherine to nod in at the back post. That's four in three now for the former Ipswich man.
25'The volume of the crowd has gone up a notch with the home fans sensing their team need a bit of a lift. Frustration may well be setting in after having most of the play without really threatening Marshall's goal.
23'Cardiff win a free-kick after Cattermole is penalised for a foul on Cowie, but Sunderland are able to clear with relative ease. The visitors not exactly taking their chances at present.
21'Poyet's side are still dominating possession but Cardiff have certainly got themselves organised after a difficult opening ten minutes. Only Campbell is being left forward when the hosts get the ball.
19'The game does seem to have lost some of its early tempo, with Sunderland now struggling to break down the visitors' defence. Medel is doing a good job of breaking up play in front of them too.
17'Cardiff get their first real opportunity as Mutch does well to head Whittingham's corner back across goal, but Cowie's volley is always heading off-target.
15'Cardiff certainly look happy to be patient in possession when they get the ball, with the visitors also content with working the ball back to Marshall. The aim seems to be to quieten this loud home support.
13'The ball is delivered towards the back post, and though Vergini heads it behind, referee Phil Dowd awards the hosts a free-kick for a foul on Mannone.
12'Mutch gets involved for the first time as he brings the ball inside before winning a corner after trading passes with Cowie. Whittingham to deliver from the right-hand side...
10'Larsson is heavily involved again as he spots the run of Borini as the Liverpool loanee cuts inside from the left, but the pass over the top is just too heavy and Marshall can come off his line and collect.
8'Cardiff are proving the architects of their own downfall as Cala plays a wayward pass into Larsson's path. The midfielder feeds Wickham before racing into the box, but he cannot get enough power on his header to beat Marshall, with the goalkeeper holding on comfortably.
7'Larsson's set-piece is sent towards the back post, but Marshall does well to palm it away from danger. At the other end Cattermole does well to block Daehli's goalbound effort after the winger cut inside from the left.
6'Sunderland are dominating these early stages, and Cowie is forced into conceding another corner as Johnson crosses towards the back post from the right-hand side...
4'Larsson's ball in from the left is headed clear, but the home side work the ball back to the Swede, and Marshall gets lost underneath it. The goalkeeper has to recover though as Wickham looks to beat him at his near post from a tight angle. The Scot eventually turns it behind for a corner which comes to nothing.
3'Sunderland have started with a spring in their step and win a corner after some pinball inside the Cardiff box...
1'Cardiff kick-off and we are underway...
The two sides have exchanged pleasantries and we are all but ready for kick-off in the North East...
The two teams make their way out onto the field and there is a great noise inside the arena. This is set to be a superb encounter between two teams fighting for their lives.
There is certainly a big game atmosphere inside the Stadium of Light, and the two teams are in the tunnel. Both look pumped up and ready to go for what is probably their biggest match of the campaign to date.
Even if Cardiff go down, one man who can hold his head high is goalkeeper David Marshall. The Scot has made more saves (143) than any other Premier League goalkeeper this season, and he may well have to be on form again to make sure the Bluebirds leave the North East with something today.
The first meeting between these two sides this season was dominated by the backdrop of Mackay's sacking at Cardiff, and Sunderland didn't lighten the mood of the Welsh supporters as they scored twice in the final ten minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw. Poyet will be hopeful his side can come out of the traps quicker today and impose themselves on their visitors.
Solsjkaer makes just one change to the Cardiff side that came from behind to draw 1-1 with Stoke last time out, with Don Cowie replacing Kim Bo-Kyung in midfield. Manchester United loanee Wilfried Zaha is again kept on the bench alongside veteran Craig Bellamy.
Unsurprisingly Poyet has named an unchanged side to that which started against Manchester City and Chelsea, meaning Connor Wickham again starts up front. The young forward has scored three times in the two aforementioned fixtures despite only previously netting once in his first 37 Premier League appearances. Santiago Vergini is again preferred to Phil Bardsley at right-back.
Cardiff City subs: Lewis, Turner, Jones, Eikrem, Zaha, Bellamy, John.
Cardiff City: Marshall; Theopile-Catherine, Caulker, Cala, Fabio; Cowie, Medel, Whittingham, Daehli; Mutch, Campbell.
Sunderland subs: Bardsley, Gardner, Altidore, Giaccherini, Bridcutt, Scocco, Ustari.
Sunderland: Mannone; Vergini, O'Shea, Brown, Alonso; Cattermole, Larsson, Colback; Johnson, Borini; Wickham.
Before we go any further, the two team line-ups are in ahead of kick-off...
Cardiff have struggled throughout their first Premier League campaign, especially after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Malky Mackaay as manager. Despite having won just one match in their last six they know a win today will carry them out of the relegation zone and give them some real hope of avoiding the drop.
Gus Poyet's side looked down and out ten days ago, but after taking four points from trips to Manchester City and Chelsea they now have the sides above them back in their sights. Their form against the teams around them isn't great, but the confidence they will have taken from their win at Stamford Bridge especially may well be enough to carry them to safety.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League encounter between Sunderland and Cardiff City. It may be a cliche, but we are now at do or die time for these two sides, with defeat for either all but confirming their relegation to the Championship. Of course both could still survive, but the impact a loss would have may be too difficult to recover from. I'm Tom Maston and I'll be guiding through all the action from the Stadium of Light.

Replacing flange and wax ring
Hi,http://www.plumbingforums.com/forum/...s/confused.gif I was planning on replacing my wax ring because the toilet is rocking and I am concerned that it may be a little water under there.(or as my husband says I am just paranoid, that is why I waited to do this when he left town) It seems like everything in this house is just rigged up for quick fixes and nothing is done right. Any who the flange is not flushed with the concrete floor it is on top of the titles, however it is NOT moving. I was told that it needs to be flushed with the concrete. So my concern is do I leave the elevated flange there and just put down the wax ring on or should I definitely, pull out the old one, knock out some titles, and replace? My other concern is that if I do have to take the hard route, this old flange is Not using screws to hold it in place. And here in lies the entire confusion what should I do? Suggestions please help (oh and by the way my husband was wrong this is a little water under therehttp://www.plumbingforums.com/forum/...ies/tongue.gif)
The bottom of the flange should be sitting on top of the finished floor....in this case, the tile. In addition, it should be screwed down to the floor. This can be accomplished with a masonary bit, a hammer drill and some tap-con screws.
Having the flange on top of the finished floor is normal.
I like to use an extra thick wax ring just to be safe. http://www.amazon.com/William-H-Harv...8991123&sr=8-2
If the toilet is not secured to the flange or if the flange is not secured to the floor, you have the answer to your rocking toilet mystery.
Afte you secure the toilet, seal the gap between the toilet and the floor with matching grout:
http://www.plumbingsupply.com/toiletflanges.html *****scroll to the very bottom of this page for the Q&A about toilet flanges installation****
*Didn't see JDC's post* I concur with what he said.
Thanks soooo much for the quick response
The men at home depot made a big deal about it being ontop of the tiles... thanks sooo much for all your help... this means i can return some stuff to home depot and finish the job tonight...Thanks
Another scenario is the drain pipe is encased in concrete (the floor) and that is why they did not secure the flange with screws. Try grabbing the flange and try to move it. If it does not move, the floor may not be completely level and this is the reason for the rocking. You can find plastic toilet shims at Home Depot.
Even though the piping may be in concrete the flange should always be secured with screws. It is all too common for the flange to break at the bolt slots if the closet bolts are over tightened or the toilet is not properly secured to the floor and is allowed to rock. You should check your old flange for damage in that area before resetting the toilet.
While I agree with rockerjockey, I also know how work was done. Not always correct though

Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley called Tuesday a typical first day in pads, recognizing that his Vols were excited to finally be making contact with each other.
The first-year head coach, meanwhile, focused on those tell-tale signs of who is advancing the most from last season to this and who has that extra something special when it comes to physical play.
"The first thing you do is see who shows dramatic differences over time between pads and shorts," Dooley said. "You hope there's not much difference, there are not many surprises. You hope the surprises are more the guys who really maybe didn't flash in shorts but now they're showing up because of their toughness and because of their explosive power.
"That shows up more in pads -- especially up front in the trenches. That's really what you're looking at."
Tuesday's workout of better than two hours was the third of 14 practices leading up to the Dish Network Orange and White Game on April 17. The new coaching staff has less than a month to implement its system.
"Today was the first day we installed down-and-distance," Dooley said. "Now every team period, there's a down-and-distance associated with it. I think it's important that your team become situationally smart -- trying to understand what the offense is thinking on second-and-10; playing the strengths and playing the weaknesses on third downs.
"There's a lot of excitement early on, but it's also an adjustment in getting used to carrying the pads. Everything's heavier, you get a little more fatigued quicker -- so getting your body adjusted to the pads is important and that only takes time."
Dooley also plans to spend a significant amount of time on special teams, which comes as no surprise since one of his first assistant coaching hires was Eric Russell from Texas Tech. Russell formerly coached with Dooley at Louisiana Tech, and the both the Bulldogs and Red Raiders have fielded excellent special teams units of late.
"Special teams is a critical component of winning," Dooley said. "We probably didn't perform the way we needed to in that phase and we've got a lot of work to do in finding the right guys and then understanding how to work at it and get good at it."
Part of that emphasis, and a key part of the overall game plan under defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, centers on fundamental football.
"It doesn't matter what scheme you put in defensively; if you're not a good tackling football team, you've got no chance," Dooley said. "We're going to work tackling a lot."
The Vols practice again Thursday and Saturday.
