Sunday, Feb. 24 -- at No. 25 West Virginia, vs. New Hampshire, vs. Towson (Morgantown, W.Va.), 2 p.m. [ Live Results | Live Video ]
Social Media: Facebook | Twitter
With the halfway point in the season passed, the No. 3-ranked University of Michigan women's gymnastics team (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten) begins a three-week stretch of road meets this Sunday (Feb. 24), facing No. 25 West Virginia (6-5), New Hampshire (9-3) and Towson (7-7) in a quad meet in Morgantown, W.Va. The meet will begin at 2 p.m. at WVU Coliseum.
The meet is a homecoming for head coach Bev Plocki, a graduate of West Virginia -- both B.S. and Master's.
Michigan remains at No. 3 in this week's GymInfo/Troester rankings (196.939) for the fourth consecutive week. The Wolverines have been ranked in the top three every week this season, including No. 1 on two occasions (Jan. 11 and Jan. 21) and also No. 2 (Jan. 14). The top two spots in the rankings continue to be held by Florida (197.296) and Oklahoma (197.171), respectively. [ Rankings ]
The Wolverines rank among the top 10 nationally in all four events, including tops in the nation on floor exercise (49.346). They are also ranked third on balance beam (49.125), fourth on uneven bars (49.261) and eighth on vault (49.207). Individually, senior Katie Zurales and junior Joanna Sampson are ranked seventh (39.400) and eighth (49.375), respectively, in the all-around.
Including its scores from last Saturday's meet against Penn State, Michigan upped its scoring averages in four areas: team average (196.867 to 196.939), vault (49.188 to 49.207), uneven bars (49.242 to 49.261) and floor exercise (49.300 to 49.346).

The rankings, which are determined by season scoring average, are released every Monday. The rankings will switch over to Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) on Monday, Feb. 25. The RQS is important for two reasons. First, in the Big Ten, the teams with the highest four RQS scores will compete in the evening session (6 p.m.) of the Big Ten Championships on March 23 in East Lansing, Mich. Second, the top 18 teams will be seeded on a national basis (determined by RQS) for NCAA Regionals.
The Wolverines also raised their RQS from 196.770 to 196.905. A team's RQS is calculated by taking its six highest scores, three of which must be from road meets. The highest score is dropped and the remaining five are averaged. The team's RQS for this week is based on its results from the following meets:
1. 197.375 - Feb. 16 vs. Penn State
2. 197.350 - Jan. 19 vs. Illinois
3. 196.925 - Feb. 8 at Ohio State
4. 196.900 - Jan. 12 vs. Nebraska
5. 196.775 - Jan. 26 at Minnesota, vs. Central Michigan, vs. Iowa State
6. 196.575 - Jan. 4 at Cancun Classic
The Wolverines are 20-4 all-time against West Virginia. The two teams met twice last season, with Michigan winning both the regular-season meeting (194.650-194.050 on Feb. 3 in Ann Arbor) and in the postseason (196.325-195.900 on April 7 at the NCAA Auburn Regional). U-M has won eight straight meetings in the series. All four losses to the Mountaineers have come in dual meets. Michigan is 1-1 against Towson (last meeting in Jan. 11, 1997) and 10-1 against New Hampshire (last meeting Feb. 5, 2011).
Michigan tied a new school record for highest floor exercise rotation last Saturday (Feb. 16) vs. Penn State, scoring 49.625, a record that was previously set on March 9, 2002, in a tri-meet vs. Denver and Washington. A trio of gymnasts (Natalie Beilstein, Stephanie Colbert, Reema Zakharia) each scored 9.900, followed by Katie Zurales at 9.950 and Joanna Sampson at 9.975. Sampson received a perfect 10.0 from Level 10 judge Richard Seibel for her routine.
The Wolverines' team score of 197.375 against Penn State is a new season-high score and also the program's highest since March 7, 2008, vs. Georgia (197.600). Michigan has two scores of 197.000 or higher this season, the other coming on Jan. 19 vs. Illinois (197.350). The last time U-M had scored above 197.000 in two home meets in the same season was 2008.
Junior Joanna Sampson was named Big Ten co-Women's Gymnast of the Week and senior Brittnee Martinez was named Co-Event Specialist of the Week on Tuesday. Sampson earns the honor for the third time this season after winning her fourth all-around title of the season (39.600) last Saturday (Feb. 16) against Penn State. Martinez finished first on both uneven bars (9.950) and balance beam (9.900) against the Nittany Lions, setting career highs in each event. [ Release ]
The all-around win against Penn State for Joanna Sampson is the eighth of her career. Her score of 39.600 ties a career high, matching the score she received on Feb. 2 vs. Iowa. She is the first U-M gymnast since Elise Ray in 2004 to have two or more all-around scores of 39.600 in the same season. Additionally, that is also tied for the fourth-highest all-around performance in the nation this season. She has won the all-around title in four of seven meets this season (Jan. 4 at Cancun Classic, Jan. 12 vs. Nebraska, Feb. 2 vs. Iowa, Feb. 16 vs. Penn State) and has won or shared 13 event titles (five on floor exercise, four on uneven bars, three on vault, one on balance beam).
The wins on uneven bars and balance beam were the first of the season for Brittnee Martinez. She has averaged 9.858 on uneven bars and 9.846 on balance beam this season. Other gymnasts that tied or set new career-high scores vs. Penn State include Stephanie Colbert (9.900 - floor exercise), Sachi Sugiyama (9.900 - uneven bars, tie) and Katie Zurales (9.950 - floor exercise, tie).
The Wolverines have scored at or above 49.000 in six straight meets (and in 27 of 28 total rotations). The only time the Wolverines have scored below 49.000 came on vault at the Cancun Classic on Jan. 4 (49.875). Additionally, U-M gymnasts have won or shared 23 of a possible 28 event titles (including ties).
With the win over Penn State, Michigan head coach Bev Plocki has 596 career wins. Since women's gymnastics was named a varsity sport in 1976, Plocki has accounted for 83 percent of the team's all-time victories (596 of 715). Plocki will be the third active NCAA D-I women's gymnastics coach to reach the 600-win plateau, joining Greg Marsden (Utah) and D.D. Breaux (LSU). Some schools do not count wins in the postseason towards the total.

Head Coach
Q: First things first. Talk about that floor exercise rotation against Penn State. Tied for the program best. Considering you only led by a tenth heading into that final rotation, watching them perform the way they did had to be fun to watch as a coach.
A: It was awesome. One of the parents came up to me after the meet and said, "It's cool that Joanna (Sampson) goes up last, and she has to score at least a 9.9 to even count toward the team score in the rotation." We know what we're capable of. We have been working really hard on holding landings. On Saturday, we just said, "We need to go close this competition," and they did. They did a great job.
Q: And the rest of the meet?
A: Overall, I thought it was very good. We had a few jittery beam routines, but we didn't fall there. But to go over and close out the competition on floor the way we did was great to see. You learn a lot about your team in close competitions, and I was very pleased with the way they responded.
Q: Last week, you talked about how competing in Keen can give a team more energy due to the fans being closer and more packed in. Do you think that made a difference on floor during that last rotation?
A: I think so. I thought the energy in Cliff Keen was fantastic. Going into this competition, regardless of where it was held, we felt confident we'd do well. I think our confidence has grown every meet. I was sick all week and had no voice. When we got together and the end, I told our captains to take it over and they said, "This is our night. We're going to go out and do this, and it's going to be the best meet of the season." We were amped for the competition and it showed.
Q: There were several gymnasts that had great meets against Penn State, but two that stand out are Brittnee Martinez and Stephanie Colbert. Talk about their performances against the Nittany Lions.
A: To start the competition with Stephanie's vault was excellent. That might be the only vault I've ever seen her stick cold. Our team was so incredibly excited for her and so was she. To start out with a 9.875 for our first routine was pretty awesome. We were able to get her some rest in the weeks prior, and that routine was her first in some time. Needless to say, that's a great way to come back. Brittnee had a great night, too. Her uneven bars routine was flawless, one of the best I've seen her do. On beam, our first two routines were okay, but they weren't awesome. Joanna (Sampson) did a good job in the third spot. Then Brittne goes up in the fourth position and just rocked it. We changed her dismount, too. The old dismount off the side was hurting her knee a little bit, and this was the second time that she's performed her new one. To do a routine of that quality and stick the dismount was pretty great to see.
Q: The team has four meets left for the regular season, the next three of which are on the road. As you near the home stretch, does the focus on a meet-by-meet basis change any?
A: We've already gone to Ohio State, which is one of the possible sites for NCAA Regionals, and now we're going to West Virginia, which is another potential Regionals site. These road meets are great chances for us to get in those venues and get experience. Right now, it's a battle for RQS scores. We have some great home scores. I think our lowest-counted score is a 196.900. We've got three opportunities in a row here to get some away scores into the 197.00s, and I think we're pretty pumped up to make that our goal.
Michigan tied a program high on floor exercise, and Joanna Sampson won the all-around in a 197.375-196.700 victory over Penn State last Saturday (Feb. 16) in front of a sellout crowd at Cliff Keen Arena. [ Recap | Photo Gallery | Highlights ]

Waverly inks rug deal with Nourison
September 30, 2002,
Waverly, which has already licensed out its name to home textiles companies spanning several categories, has signed a new agreement with rug manufacturer and importer Nourison.
Waverly's license for accent and area rugs was originally with Beaulieu Rugs of Dalton, GA, but the license expired, and Waverly opted to go with Nourison because it was "looking for a company that would be able to service the very large independent dealer base for rugs," D'Angelo told Home Textiles Today. She added that since Beaulieu had been purchased by Springs Industries, its home division had changed its philosophy and was only focusing on five major retail customers. Waverly's relationship with Beaulieu has not been totally severed, however, since it still manufactures the Waverly line of wall-to-wall carpeting.
According to Ed Vairo, director of creative marketing for the Saddlebrook, NJ-based Nourison, the initial offering of Waverly rugs is made up of six to eight accent rug patterns for specialty retailers. Sizes include 2' x 3' and 3' x 5'. Area rugs sized at 6' x 9' , 8' x 10' and 9' x 12' are scheduled to follow in spring 2003 as part of an open stock offering. The designs, like all Waverly branded and licensed lines, are based on an extensive fabric library for a mix of both traditional and contemporary styles. The rugs also coordinate with looks previously introduced.
"We are very excited," Vairo said, "and I think this is going to be significant for both companies.
"I think that there are very few brands in the marketplace that do as good, or as effective, a job at category coordination as Waverly does," he added.
In addition to Nourison, other home textiles companies that currently manufacture and supply Waverly licensed products are Barth & Dreyfus for kitchen and tabletop; Divatex Home Fashions, specialty bedding; Glenoit, kitchen rugs; Springs, Waverly Garden mass merchant bedding; Kennebunk Weavers, throws; Perfect Fit Industries, basic bedding; and Oxford Bath & Home, bath.

Centerville police partially shut down six blocks of Main Street to investigate a suspicious package, which turned out to be flour.
Main Street was closed to northbound traffic from Parrish Lane (400 North) to Chase Lane (1000 North) as investigators inspected the package near 650 North, said police Lt. Paul Child. A passerby noticed it in front of a house, lying by a fire hydrant, Child said.
The bomb squad X-rayed the package which was eight-by-six-inches and three inches tall that was wrapped in duct tape.
When the X-ray shed no light on its contents, the South Davis Metro Fire Department hazardous materials crew looked into it and found it was not an explosive, but that it contained an unknown substance.
That substance was later determined to be flour.
Police have removed the package.

Two popes attend gathering of the wise and wrinkled at the Vatican
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Elderly people, including former Pope Benedict, attended a gathering of the wise and wrinkled at the Vatican on Sunday, where Pope Francis denounced the neglect and abandonment of the old as "hidden euthanasia".
During the festive event in St. Peter's Square, Francis addressed some 40,000 elderly people -- grandfathers, grandmothers, widows and widowers.
The pope sought to underscore the importance of the old in society and he said homes for the elderly could not be allowed to become "prisons" where care took a back seat to business interests by those who run them.
According to the World Health Organization, there are 600 million people over 60 in the world today and the figure is expected to double over the next 11 years and reach two billion by 2050, most in the developing world.
It was only the third time since his resignation in February, 2013 that Benedict, 87, attended a public event. He looked relatively healthy as he walked into the square using a cane and took a special seat in the front.
Benedict, wearing a white overcoat, stayed for about an hour
to hear old people speak about their lives and listen to a speech by his successor and then left before Francis led a Mass.
Benedict, the first pope to resign in six centuries, has been living out his retirement in near isolation in a former convent in the Vatican gardens. He is assisted by aides and receives few visitors. Continued...

the Art (and Science) of Bouldering...
... is an ebook based on our (German) book "Lizenz zum Bouldern" (see teaser below) we are developing at the moment.
Read the rave reviews for the book here:
"I, you, he, she, it boulders. We, you, they know: Bouldering is great. Generally, you don't need to know more, if anything. You can do it just like that. If you (or others) try to find out what bouldering is all about, some tested catchphrases, nowadays found in almost any outdoor guide book, are usually enough by itself to create an appealing image. And that's a good thing.
But what if you want to know more, if you want to explore this topic in depth and say something about the phenomenon bouldering that differs from stereotypical views: then you write a book about it, like Udo "Udini" Neumann did. Why he named this book "Lizenz zum Bouldern", in connection with another book by this author (Lizenz zum Klettern), is understandable. It goes without saying that this book is not about fancy words, but about providing a deeper understanding. Its pinch of scientific content is well dosed. However, "Lizenz zum Bouldern", just like another book by Udini, "Der XI. Grad", also is not a training guide. What these two works have in common, however, is their evocativeness, conveyed by fun-to-look-at layouts and graphics as well as intelligent and humorous, but in no way know-all texts that make your fingertips sweat.
This page-turner makes you want to know more, to go out there and do it – bouldering.
Complete novelties are the elaborately arranged video analyses of various bouldering world cups. Sounds boring, but it's extremely interesting to take a closer look at the approach of people that know how to do it. The accompanying analyses are enlightening and may be relied upon: as a coach of the DAV national bouldering team Udo knows, what he is talking about.
Overall, a gem with an unmistakable Udini-style that belongs on every bookshelf, not far from the latest issue of CLIMAX."

Gator Roundup: Men's Tennis Keeps Rolling, Women's Tennis Falters, Softball Team Remains Unbeaten
The 18th-best team in the country came into Linder Stadium to face the Florida Gators, but Illinois' trip ended like the others that came before them. Fifth-ranked Florida got its fifth victory of the spring season, a 6-1 win over No. 18 Illinois. The Gators raced to an early 1-0 lead, taking the doubles point, and proceeded to take all but one singles match on the afternoon. Florida is 5-1 on the season, with all wins coming with at least six points or better.
The No. 1 Gator women's tennis team faced No. 2 Stanford on the road in a rematch of the 2011 National Championship. Stanford came out aggressive, sweeping all three doubles matches for the 1-0 lead, and ended Florida's 26-match win streak with a 5-2 victory.
The second-ranked Gator softball team stayed unbeaten after sweeping the USF Fairfield Inn Softball Tournament with wins over South Florida (3-2) and Florida Gulf Coast University (5-0). Florida needed eight-innings to put away the host Bulls, led by Kelsey Horton's two-RBI effort. Against FGCU, former Santa Fe Raider pitcher Shelby Morgan was in the circle and struck out six Gators in three innings. But Florida broke open the game with a four-run fifth inning to improve to 5-0 on the season.

text: Doctor Who star Karen Gillan to guest on The One Show Amy Pond herself will be on the sofa tonight - and she'll be wearing blue boots Comments Written By Paul Jones 10:30 AM, 31 August 2012 Karen Gillan will be appearing live on The One Show tonight and while there's been nothing official as yet telling us what she'll be talking about, it's a pretty safe bet the main focus will be Doctor Who series seven - which kicks off tomorrow (as if you didn't know that) - and the departure of Gillan and co-star Arthur Darvill later this year. The Ponds will bow out in episode five before new companion Jenna-Louise Coleman arrives on the scene in the Christmas special, so there's likely to be lots of talk of tearful farewells. And while we can't give you any more detail than that about what Karen will be up to tonight, we can tell you what she'll be wearing on her feet. "On the ONE SHOW tonight!" she tweeted this morning. "Tune in! I've got blue boots." If the Doctor's companion wearing Tardis-coloured boots doesn't get Who fans watching, we don't know what will... The One Show is tonight at 7pm on BBC1.

Never Too Young To Learn How To Swim
Published July 18th, 2014
Loading Video...
OCALA - This is a story about taking advantage of second chances. One little boy nearly drowned a few months ago. However he is now showing off some new skills designed to keep him afloat.
According to the department of health, florida loses more children under age five to drowning than any other state. One mother here in Ocala tells us the story of how her baby came face to face with that threat.
At 10 months old tanner followed the family dog outside and accidentally fell into his grandparents pool. "I pulled him out immediately started CPR. And my neighbor came over and helped me cause I wasn't certified. I am now," Ashley White his mother said.
White still gets emotional remembering the incident. "I felt fear. It's unexplainable really. I still can't believe it happened," White added.
Two months later, Tanner is one year old and now capable of saving his own life. Look at how the instructor drops him into the pool in this video and he manages to stay afloat. That's all thanks to ISR, the Infant Swimming Resource program in Ocala.
Ashley Glover is a mother of twin toddlers, Elsa and Bennett they are taking the course for a second summer. "And this summer now that they're two and a half they can swim float swim and make it to the side if an adult weren't to be there and they fell in," Glover said.
The program teaches children as young as 6 months old. Nicole Meade, Master Instructor at ISR says they teach based on sensory motor learning and behavioral psychology. "As they get bigger and their bodies grow, it becomes a little more awkward so just as they would walk differently and become more coordinated with walking, we also want them to become more coordinated with their swimming. We see them every year until they're about six but most of these kids by the age of five are ready for swim team," Meade said.
Tanner's mom is now CPR certified and the family put up a gate around the pool. Anything to prevent an accidents from happening again. "I am more confident. He is fine either way, he has no recollection or anything. He doesn't know what happened but i do. And it gives me a peace of mind especially if someone has to watch him. I don't have to constantly fearing that something is going to happen, at least not by the pool," White said.

I must be alone on this one but while I really enjoy the game, the graphics leave little to be desired to me. I think the graphics are good, but not as good as they have been pumped up to be. The physics suck and the smoke graphics make me laugh.
Dont get me wrong, the game itself is the shit. I just have a personal problem with the graphics. And before I get called out for not having a HD TV, the TV I first played this on was a "62 HDTV. While it looked better than my "27 TV, it didn't wow me like I thought it was going to do.

Manholes are the most important infrastructure objects for both sanitary and storm sewer systems in any new development or subdivision. To maintain unobstructed flow, they must be constructed properly. Proper inspection ensures long life and protects the city or county from future problems.
"Having an inspector on the construction site while infrastructure is being built is the best way to ensure everything meets current state standards," said Dale Vandersommen, civil engineer with the city of Lorain, Ohio. "Our inspectors stay on the job when pipe is laid and manholes are built."
The inspector should meet with the contractor before work begins and find a safe spot to observe construction. The materials used to construct the manhole should already be onsite. This is so the inspector can examine these materials and compare them to the construction plans for proper type and size, and to check for damage that may have occurred during shipping or unloading.
An excavator is typically the contractor's choice for manhole construction. Working off the stakes set by professional surveyors, the operator will dig to the proper depth or elevation for the invert of the manhole. The contractor must excavate a safe trench for the pipe fitters to work in. The contractor should either use substantial bracing, such as a trench box, or cut the trench to the angle of repose in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards.
Once the desired depth has been reached, the operator will lay a bed of No. 57 limestone on the floor of the trench. A worker makes sure the bed is level, then signals for the operator to lower the manhole into the trench. After helping to set and level the manhole, the worker will then connect the sewer pipe to the invert opening. Once connected to the sewer pipe and centered, the grade of the invert will be checked again to be sure it is correct.
Each barrel of the manhole will then be lowered—one at a time—onto the invert or base level of the manhole. A ring seal is installed between each barrel level to keep infiltration of groundwater to a minimum. As each barrel is lowered into place, the pipe fitter will ensure that the ladder steps, which are either embedded in the walls of the manhole at the factory or grouted into predrilled holes onsite, are placed above each other from barrel to barrel. This guarantees that the ladder will be contiguous from the manhole cover entrance to the invert or flow level for cleaning or inspection in the future. Each level is installed the same way until, finally, the cone of the manhole is set in place.
The entire structure will then be surrounded by No. 57 limestone as it is backfilled, and the contractor will grout all the seams from inside of the manhole effectively eliminating infiltration of groundwater into the sewer system.
With a digital camera, the inspector can record the construction process as it is taking place and attach the pictures to his or her reports and field notes for future reference.
—Schrull is superintendent of water distribution with the city of Lorain, Ohio.

From the last decades of the nineteenth century through about the 1920s, vacationers were attracted to large resort hotels that promised a break from the noise, crowds, and pressures of an ever-urbanizing country.
At the heyday of trolleys in Maine, many of the trolley companies developed recreational facilities along or at the end of trolley lines as one further way to encourage ridership. The parks often had walking paths, dance pavilions, and various other entertainments. Cutting-edge technology came together with a thirst for adventure and forever changed social dynamics in the process.
Baseball often is called the National Pastime. For many people, baseball is encountered in the backyard and down the street, a game played by a few or the full contingent of a team.

Cork tiles and paper bark - is it safe?
1 Attachment(s)
So, I'm attempting my first paludarium (It's a 40L blue planet tank) and I have some questions about the background. I wanted to have a cork bark background but after searching I have come up short. Can't find it anywhere local.
I have bought some cork tiles. The packaging says they are natural and unsealed. Do these sound safe? Attachment 56051
I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a way to make them look more natural and happened to look out my window and see my whole street is lined with paper bark trees. Can anyone think of a good reason why lining the cork tiles with the bark wouldn't work? Had anyone tried this?
Tank Decor
Hello Auss...
Anything I've wanted to put into my tanks, I test first with vinegar. I just put a few drops on the piece an if there's a reaction, then I don't use it.
This test should work for your items. Something to think about: "everything eventually dissolves in water".
Thanks. :) You don't happen to know an Australian supplier by any chance?
I decided to use coco fiber instead. Got a big bag for only a few dollars.
I wouldn't use those cork tiles - they are made of cork bark that is chipped up, and then reformed and glued together (something akin to the cork equivalent of particleboard). Unless you know what the adhesive is, and know it's safe, I would avoid it.
What you want to look for is 'virgin cork bark' - it comes from the first time they harvest cork bark of of a cork oak, and has the typical 'bark' look with a very rough, crevasse filled surface (I may be wrong here, someone correct me if so). Several places online sell it, sometimes you can find it in pet stores, especially if they have a lot of herps.
Another place to look would be places that sell orchids and epiphytic plants, as they use them to mount their plants on.
Finding a source online would probably be your cheapest option, but also you wouldn't really be able to see what you are getting.
Another thing I've used in the past is tree fern fiber slabs, works fairly well, not as pretty as corkbark when naked, but can support plants/mosses fairly well.
As to vinegar, that's more to test for carbonate on rocks, it's just an acid reacting and releasing CO2 (the fizzing). and vinegar by itself is iffy, it's better to use a strong acid. Also, all that will tell you is whether or not the rock is likely to affect pH and water hardness.
I returned the tiles because I didn't trust them. Thanks for the suggestions. I tried 5 different places in town and none had the cork bark. They said my best bet was getting it in from Brisbane. (1.5-2 hours away.) Somehow I don't see that happening. I can't find anywhere to purchase online but that might have something to do with my googling skills :/.
I managed to find some coco fiber and I've got some safe black silicone so I'm thinking of carving styrofoam background, covered in silicone then coco fiber. I am worried about the waterfall section though. If I have water running constantly over the coco fiber will it wear off quickly?
(I knew about the vinegar. Thanks)
I've done stryofoam covered in an epoxy/sand mix, and thought it came out pretty well.
probably works better for underwater sections, since the epoxy will give it a glossy/wet look.
For the above water sections (or for a more natural texture), sprinkle a bunch of dry sand on top, and then rush/wash/vacuum that off once it's cured.
I haven't done this myself, but I've heard people say that chinchilla dust works really well for removing the gloss from epoxy mixes.
Epoxy is generally safe, and it's pretty durable.
Another possibility would be to use some lava rock or something similar for the waterfall section, just silicone them in. Lava rock is great for aquatic mosses and stuff to creep out of the water on, as long as they remain damp.
Alright. Thanks again :)

- Credit Line
- Gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn to the Smithsonian Institution
- Collection
- Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
- Accession Number
- Description
- Head of a bearded male, of transluscent alabaster. Highly modelled, probably meant to be viewed only from the front. The facial features rendered in some detail. The eyes are modelled, with no pupil or eyebrows represented. The ears protrude perpendicular to the head, with some interior detail is incised into the ears for schematic rendering. The nose is straight, with nostrils indicated, and the mouth is represented by a thin grooved incision between the two modelled lips. The beard, which stretches from ear to ear, is represented as a semicircular ledge below the chin. The front edge of the beard is smoothed, but the bottom edge is not. The entire face rests in a smooth background field of the same stone.
The sculpture is in good condition, with some minor scratches on the otherwise smooth and polished front surface. The tip of the nose is broken, and the back surface is unfinished, with several heavy chisel marks. The top of the head, and the side and bottom edges of the fragment bear signs of heavy alteration and/or chiselling.
- Label
- Numerous often stylized memorial portraits and "face plaques" have been excavated in the cemeteries of Southern Arabia, mainly in the Wadi Beihan and the area of the ancient Qataban Empire (modern Yemen) that flourished between the 5th century BCE and the 1st century CE. in the 19th and 20th centuries. Close parallels to this head are in the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History where the remainder of the Hirshhorn collection is today. An updated bibliography on alabaster statues and fragments found throughout modern Yemen can be found in Sabina Antonini, and Mounir Arbach, La statuaria sudarabica in pietra. Rome and Paris (2001). This head stems most likely from the vast cemeteries of ancient Tamna.

Keeping with tradition of last year's post, I've decided to create a personal mix-tape with nostalgic songs that remind me of the experiences I've had this past year.
2012 was jam-packed.
And what an adventure it was.
Here's the track-listing with the associated back-story of why I chose each song. Enjoy!
Track 1 – Jonsi – Go Do
Instead of posting Jonsi's video, I'm gonna cheat right off the bat and use Ryan's video he made from the Iceland trip we all took in January. He really captured the feeling of the adventure with the song choice and style – nice work Bryan. (Inside joke, we nicknamed him Bryan this past year.)
Iceland was an incredibly surreal experience with an atmosphere I couldn't compare to any place I had been before. It really had an impact on me, and it's one place I am seriously considering investing in property. Not sure if I could live there year-round, but I'd love to visit often.
Track 2 – Andreas Moe – Fade Into Darkness Cover (Helene's song)
While in Sweden I met an amazing girl named Helene. In addition to her Swedish accent, she was incredibly sarcastic and insulted me constantly – I was instantly seduced. One night, we stayed up talking for hours about everything from where we dream of traveling, food, family, music, aliens – you name it. It was the kind of conversation where you get so caught up that it made hours seem like minutes. At one point she played this song for me – now each time that I hear it, it makes me think of her.
Track 3 – College – A Real Hero
I heard this song while watching "Drive" on a flight from Sweden to Denmark. The cinematography in that movie is truly amazing, and if you haven't seen it – do yourself a favor and watch it asap!
The song symbolizes my shift in mindset towards photography. Capturing photos and telling the story in a style that's representative of the true nature demonstrates integrity and just FEELS right. For years, I've been excellent working with PR firms making events that aren't so crowded appear to look like the hottest ticket in town based off what I capture in my camera. I went to a convention in March of last year that *blew my mind* in regards to this way of thinking. (And yes, don't worry – that will be blogged about)
Track 4 – M83 – Midnight City
I met my ex-girlfriend Nicole back in March of last year, and we used to tease each other of "who-introduced-who" to this song. One of the things I really liked about Nicole was her appreciation of music & how it added so much to the experience of things. In the past she had made soundtracks from certain times in her life that she could listen to & remember how she 'felt' during those stages – and I of course thought that was AWESOME.
I chose this song because of the significance to our never-ending debate, and also because I feel it has an alternative style like Nicole had. She was a huge part of my life this year and we shared some amazing experiences together that I'll never forget.
Track 5 – Chromatics – Tick of the Clock
This year has been so busy with work, at times there was a lot of pressure to get large amounts of work done in a quick amount of time. One thing to the next to the next to the next - no stopping. Like a machine. This song is also from the movie Drive, and I feel it does a good job of conveying the intensity of how I felt during certain weeks.
Track 6 – Phil Collins – In the Air Tonight
On my first excursion to South America this year, I remember waking up in the back seat of the car on the way to catch our 7 AM flight out of LAX. This song was playing on the radio, and I just had this mysterious feeling of wondering what was in store for this next international trip. It's definitely a unique vibe – as most international trips I've had are powerful experiences & create memories you will have for the rest of your life. The anticipation prior is pretty damn exciting.
Track 7 – Tiga – Far From Home
Okay, I'm cheating again. I'm tying in another video because I feel it does a great job conveying the feeling of constantly traveling from one place to the next. During the last 2 months of the year, I traveled for 7 out of the 8 weeks and was constantly on the move. Casey Neistat (the guy who directed this video) is one of my favorite film producers. I love his style, but watch the video & see for yourself.
Peru->Chile->Argetina->Los Angeles->Denver->San Diego->Los Angeles->Papua New Guinea->Los Angeles->Bellingham->
Canada->San Diego.
In case you were curious. (And yes, these will also be blogged)
Track 8 – Michael Buble – Home
On the tail end of my trip to Papua New Guinea, I was in the hotel bar with 3 other travelers that had accompanied me on our expedition and they had a live cover artist singing well-known american songs. This song has been a favorite of mine, and it struck me *especially* at that point since it felt like it had been so long since I've really felt "home".
I hope you've enjoyed this. To be honest with you, as I've written this post – I've felt a crazy rush of emotions thinking back to these experiences and remembering how I felt at the time. And while it's cool to share these stories with you, I'm positive that I'm going to value looking back on this post years down the line…and being able to remember the feelings all over again.
I suggest you do this for yourself as well! You'll thank yourself later.
(Photo above was shot in Kiruna, Sweden during my trip to visit the Ice Hotel)

It will broadcast 16 additional regular-season games on its 24-hour sports network, Univision Deportes Network, and move the AT&T MLS All-Star Game and MLS Cup from UniMas (which drew more viewers than ESPN2 did in 2013) to UDN.
The Univision broadcast schedule of 44 MLS matches will be the most regular-season games by any U.S. network. The UDN schedule of 26 MLS games will complement
the broadcast of 18 MLS regular-season games on UniMás, for a total of 44 games covering all 19 league clubs.
According to MLS, Univision Deportes will have exclusive
Spanish-language coverage of the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game featuring the MLS all-stars against the European champion Bayern Munich on Aug. 6 in Portland, Ore., and MLS Cup, as well live steam of
select games on Univision's digital network, UVideos.
In 2013, Univision's growing Spanish-language audience on UniMas was one of the few positives on the MLS TV front as the average viewers on UniMas' MLS
regular-season broadcasts (223,000) topped those on ESPN2 (181,000) and the average viewers for MLS Cup increased almost 6 percent to 514,000 viewers, more than double what they were only three years
ago on another Univision network, Galavision, and more than the 505,000 on ESPN2.

- - Eibach springs (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f53/eibach-springs-790/)
Did you just do the springs, or use the Ground Control springs? I've heard good things about the Eibachs.....What spring rates did you go with???
Just the springs and nothing else. As far as the spring rates, they are what the pro kit uses. They are progressive rate springs though I'm not sure what they are exactly. Something like 180/220 comes to mind but I'm not sure.
How's the overall ride? It's not really bouncy is it? Someone told me that they might make your car seem a little bit bouncy if you use them with your stock shocks.....Any truth to this?
I think the ride is great. I don't notice any "bouncyness" at all, but maybe I don't know what to look for. :P
I believe you would know if it's "bouncy" Mike. I put the H&R springs on mine and it bounces like a mofo on the highway. :lol: No, just kiddin'. It is a bit stiff but I'm also on the stock struts.
Eibach springs
Well, a couple of weeks ago, I put a set of eibach springs on my car . I think the car looks and handles much better lowered a little. The springs have a very comfortable ride and the car doesn't roll as much as it did on the stock springs. So far I am happy with them. They were definitely worth $200 and 3 hours work.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Southern Utah's Damon Heuir scored a season-high 30 points as the Thunderbirds improved to 3-0 in Big Sky play with a 90-77 victory over Northern Arizona Saturday afternoon at the Walkup Skydome.
The Lumberjacks (5-9, 2-2) fell behind early as Southern Utah hit six three-pointers in the first nine minutes of the game to take an 18-point lead. NAU responded with 11-1 run to cut the deficit to 10 points and got within six points twice in the first half. The Thunderbirds then extended the lead back to double digits before the break.
"They came out and were the aggressor," said Head Coach Jack Murphy. "They took it to us from the start. I thought we were lax defensively out of the gates. They out-scored us 14-0 in the second four-minute period and that can't happen. We have to find an answer for that."
Senior guard Gabe Rogers, who finished with a team-best 23 points, led the comeback efforts in the second half with 20 points. Michael Dunn, who was saddled with two early fouls, had 10 points in the second half.
"I was happy Gabe got going in the second half," said Murphy. "He made some of his jumpers and got to the free throw line."
Over the first six minutes of the second half, NAU cut the lead down to single digits behind a pair of three-pointers by Dunn and four free throws by Rogers, who went 9-for-11 at the line on the night. The lead was cut to as low as five points with 12:33 left but it would be as close as the Lumberjacks could get.
"They did a good job of handling our pressure in the second half," said Murphy. "At the end, they made their free throws. All the credit goes to Southern Utah."
Southern Utah (5-7, 3-0 BSC) went 27-for-30 at the line in the second half while shooting 10-for-20 from the field. The Thunderbirds shot at a 56 percent clip for the game after going 15-for-24 from the field in the first half.
Heuir was 6-for-11 from the field and 14-for-16 from the line with four three-pointers to lead the Thunderbirds. Jackson Stevenett added 14 points, while Julian Scott had 13 off the bench. Wade Collie contributed 10 points in the game.
The game featured a combined 58 fouls and 76 free throw attempts.
"We need to overcome obstacles, forget about mistakes and keep moving forward," said Murphy. "It is something we did not do a good job of tonight."
Freshman guard DeWayne Russell finished with 18 points in the game and junior forward Max Jacobsen scored 16.
NAU was aided by 22 Southern Utah turnovers and 19 offensive rebounds but could not overcome the slow start.
The Lumberjacks travel on the road for their next four Big Sky Conference games starting with Eastern Washington on Jan. 10. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Arizona time.

You need to get rid of that plastic gun.
OK just kidding. Yes a true rifle cartridge will make a big difference.
This is a discussion on G26 + 1911+ 870 Do I NEED anything else? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; My current defensive setup is a Glock 26 for carry, a Colt series 80 1911 on the night stand and a Remington 870 close by. ...
My current defensive setup is a Glock 26 for carry, a Colt series 80 1911 on the night stand and a Remington 870 close by. Recently I was thinking about what my next purchase as I have a "Extra Pay Check" coming up. The thing is this... When I buy a gun I don't really "Need" I always end up selling it a few months later as gun's I don't need tend to not get much of a work out at the range so I don't see the use so I sell them.
My current threesome seems to cover a lot of the bases that I need covered. I divide possible scenarios into 5 categories. A defensive shooting outside of the home (Covered by my EDC the Glock 26). A defensive shooting inside of the home (Covered by my nightstand the colt 1911 or Remington 870). Defending my home or self after a natural disaster (Covered by the 1911 and 870). Zombie Outbreak (Yes, this is a joke...Kind of... Covered by the 1911 and the 870) and last and most un-likely is a invasion of the United states by a foreign power.
The last is really the only thing I feel I'll equipped to handle because of my lack of a semi auto rifle. Luckily it is also the most un-likely to happen. I have been considering a kel tec sub 2000 in 9mm to fill the role of "Urban rifle" as I already carry a 9mm glock and if I decide to change out my night stand gun to a Glock 17 (which I have given some thought to) all my mags would be interchangeable from my CC to my nightstand gun to my pistol cal. carbine. I guess what I am trying to figure out is if a semi auto rifle in a true rifle cartridge (5.56) is really "needed". While it may be fun anything that sits in my safe without getting fired on a regular basis generally goes bye bye. I know that a Kel-Tec sub 2000 in 9mm if going to max out around 100 yards but I also know that even in a urban warfare scenario I doubt I would be engaging anything outside of that. In addition a Ar-15 doesn't have the benefit of sharing both mags AND ammo with my EDC and possible next night stand gun.
So long story short... What do ya think?
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
You need to get rid of that plastic gun.
OK just kidding. Yes a true rifle cartridge will make a big difference.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
I think you should buy the Kel-Tec...
then sell it to me in 6 months.
Seriously, having the interchangeable mags and ammo is a definite plus.
Based on your perceived needs, I think you are fine. The 870, properly set up and with the right ammo will do more than the sub 2000 at your max intended distance.
Another 1911 of course, this time a series 70 type.
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
-Thomas Jefferson
Laws are restrictive but sometimes necessary to maintain a civil society. Rights are nonrestrictive but are always necessary to maintain a free society.
How about a snubbie for a BUG?
Or, how about an AK? Gotta be prepared for those zombies
Trust in God and keep your powder dry
"A heavily armed citizenry is not about overthrowing the government; it is about preventing the government from overthrowing liberty. A people stripped of their right of self defense is defenseless against their own government." -source
a ruger 10/22 rifle and a ruger mark II/III pistol.
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
Red State State of Mind
Two more---Ruger 10-22 and something in .223!
Everybody needs a wheel gun just because they're awesome... then for your collection you need a rifle of some sort, preferably 3. An AR or AK for fast shots, a 22 lr for plinking, and a bigger 30 caliber bolt action for hunting or long range zombie defense.
I don't think these fit exactly into your stated requirements... but a nice semi auto pistol that isn't a 1911, a 1911, a revolver, a 22 lr, an AK or AR, a long range 30 cal or greater, and a shotgun are all on my list of needs.
Just one more for me and my NEEDS list will be filled.
"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
-Alexander Hamilton
I think a logical case can be made for a 22lr and a combat rifle of some sorts.
A 22 is a staple of any survivalist, ammo is cheap and easy to stock in large quantity. A 22 in skilled hands can do just about anything you ask it to. They also get you more trigger time as they are a fraction of the cost to shoot.
The AK/AR or whatever kind speaks for itself.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.

We know you love maps. We love maps too! But having the same map in every room in your house gets a bit drab, y'know, so we've got a trick to avoiding the tedium. Different types of maps. Several variations of the same maps. Get a map for every room and then some, maybe even one for your coat closet. Yeah, maps!

Commuters urged to arrive early to avoid AgQuip traffic
Commuters to this years AgQuip have been warned to arrive as early as possible to avoid the inevitable crawl to event parking.
Organisers of this years event say it promises to be the biggest on record, fuelling predictions of worse than usual traffic chaos on the access roads.
AgQuip's general manager Barry Harley says early birds will have a distinct advantage.
"My suggestion is get there as early as you can to get into the car parks," he said.
"The official opening time is 9:00am, but depending on how maddening the crowd is we generally open at about 8:45am or something like that.
"There's no hold-up once you get to the site itself, it generally rolls pretty smoothly."

PSFK's Gift Guide: Top Items For Personal Tracking
Help your friend off to a healthy new year with these gifts that quantify daily habits.
Whether it's part of a New Year's fitness resolution or an ongoing commitment to better health, the biometric devices that are becoming more readily available every year are the perfect companion for your gift recipient. Many of the items track statistics toward a particular goal: an increased sense of calm, for example, or a certain number of calories burned in an hour of exercise. There's a wearable item for every time of personality.
The Misfit Shine is a particularly attractive-looking device because it doesn't need a screen: it syncs to your mobile phone, and all you have to do is place it on the phone's surface. The accelerometer tracks your motions, which is perfect for quantifying the intangible benefits of a nice, long walk. If your friends or loved ones are concerned about their running technique, Sensoria Fitness socks are a cutting-edge piece of technology that can determine how they distribute weight on their feet and suggest safer running styles.
There are plenty of places outside the home where your friend could use some technology to improve their habits, too. If getting in the car with your friend behind the wheel is a bit of a harrowing experience, the Automatic is a tiny device that plugs into practically any car and tracks driving habits both good and bad. And one day, the Stir kinetic desk might change the typical workplace for the better by encouraging standing and posture changes. For now, your friend can have it for themselves.
Check out more of our favorite Quantified Self gifts here, and be sure to explore PSFK's Gift Guide for more ideas.

Well I was pretty surprised to see this I have cut and paste the thread what do you guys think.
Copied from Sherdog? (What a load of shit)
British MMA fighters are not MMA fighters!
I read these forums all the time and I've never posted before but as an Englishman and an huge MMA fan I just need to get this off my chest. It pains me to say this but British MMA fighters are not MMA fighters. Period.
When I first got into MMA I couldn't name one fighter from the UK and that was fine with me. Nowdays they're everywhere and it's really embarrassing to watch at times. Personally, I don't think there is any place in MMA for fighters who have no ground game whatsoever and unfortunately, it's just not in our culture to fight like that. When was the last time you saw a british guy submit another half decent fighter or completely dominate him with high level wrestling?
Brit fighters are kickboxers at the most and that one dimensional style doesn't belong in 'Mixed Martial Arts'.
Everytime I watch a UFC event where a hyped up UK fighter gets his ass handed to him or gets raped for 15 minutes without answer, I get more and more disillusioned with the company and the sport in general.
The UFC obviously doesn't see this as it keeps on stacking cards outside the USA with these sub-par fighters instead of top 10 guys. If the UFC had tried to put events like 120 or 122 on in Las Vegas the place would have been empty. The real MMA fans in the UK will eventually desert the UFC and the arena's will be full of idiots who couldn't name one fighter on the card. The kind of 'experts' you meet at work who know everything about cage-fighting but have never heard of MMA.
I want my countrymen to do well in this sport, I really do. I just think that we are so far behind the rest of the world that we are not ready to compete at this level yet. We are trying to run before we have learnt to walk. In 5 years there may be a legit UK fighter but we definitely aren't there yet.
It's only my opinion but what do other UK fans think about this and what do other sherdoggers around the world think too?

text: It's probably just me and hind site is 20-20???..but I would have traded Rip instead of Billups.....in other words a Billups and AI combo would have probably worked better IMO. Stuck would have come off the bench to be to backup combo pg and maybe we could have still kept Alf on the payroll too. Billups has proven to still be an All-star and Rip is just a streaky shooter. Yeah Billups has faded in the post season, but that is because the way Flip used him during the regular season and how we didn't really have a suitable backup at the point. Hate to use excuses, but Jameer Nelson taking out Billups in the first round of the 2008 series probably doomed us too as we had an damaged Billups playing vs the Celtics and a lazy Sheed.

The first pic was taken with no filtering (other than the normal UV filter) and no photoshopping aftereffects.
The photo was commented by Polshit member Richard Greenfield:
Pretty strange writing on the water for a photo that hasn't been modified
LOL - (Of course this comment was deleted immediately)
But Richard did not give up:
Once again I ask -- where did the lettering on the water come from?
And William Barber has some more:
The second pic is a photoshopped version of the original pic, to enhance the object by adjusting the hue.
But wait - small mistake:
The second pic is actually a photoshopping of a pic that I had sent him, not one that I took, but one from the ning.
And now they are all backpedaling: From no photoshopping to a little enhancement here and a little enhancement there.
Even long time Poleshit members cast doubt on the photo posted by William Barber:

Alright, a couple of things here. First, you wouldn't find a biggest Planet X existence advocate, no matter how hard you tried, than me. That said, let's analyze this picture for a moment.The orbs that I marked as "1" and "2" look eerily similar to all the others ones on this picture. That in and of itself wouldn't give me any pause, however.... the #1 and #2 are easily discernible as artifacts.
Sure enough the comment didn't survive for a long time - but I could make a screenshot before it was deleted:

And I offer, in return a playful, powerful, gentle, global, exploratory adventure...
I am a writer and an internet entrepreneur who lives in Manila half the time.
You and I are here on this site for great connection, cleansing laughter and for adventures.
Me? I'm creatively and entrepreneurially active in all forms of media -- old and emerging, and work with some of the most open-hearted, funniest and most visionary people on the planet. It's an inspiring, energizing life, being a part of such a warm, daring, international, hi-vibing tribe.
We are perfect for each other the more creative and mobile you are because as a writer and CEO, I am 100% mobile. I can live anywhere, anytime, and we can vanish to a tropic island or foreign adventure of our choice.
This next part is very important...
Huge turn ons: wild coasts, warm ocean water, big group friend dinners, original thinkers, , honest sensualists, people with genuinely good hearts and, more than anything... sudden, unbidden, generous and natural expressions of love.
Ivy, eclectically and globally educated, deeply considerate -- spontaneous and ribald, thoughtful and intuitive, spiritually adventurous, with a cultivated NYC/Europe side and a fearless wilderness explorations side.
I am turned on by your intelligence and wit We will spark if you be eclectic, happy, wildly curious, provocatively sensual, hypnotically feminine when you wish to be, fun and bold, whip-smart, but with no other interest in whips.
Photos are this year. If you want to read as close to an anthem for my life and for how I live, we please see "When Death Comes" by Mary Oliver.
Ever since I was small, I have considered every day a ludicrous and unearned gift and drink deeply of the beauty available in this world -- especially when it involves beaches, cobblers, human grace and dignity, or sangiovese grapes. I shaved 3 years off my profile bc of search reasons and photos are current. My 2 sons are encolleged, happy, creative, solid and thriving and out in the world (yes, I DID start early.)
And, oh, I'm just a comfortable in either a tux or shorts and sandals -- but in a little black dress, not so much.
Movies... The Unforgiven, Raising Arizona, MP and the Holy Grail, Love Actually, Fight Club, Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, Team America, Gladiator, Cinema Paradiso, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Slumdog, Team America, Manhattan, Love and Death, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and City of Woman, by Fellini. It's no Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Truly Scrumptious-less) but inspiring nonetheless.
Music - Billie, Ella, Tool, Chopin, Muse, Chopin, Metallica, Chopin, Opeth, Sinatra, Eva Cassidy, Gainsbourg, Leonard Cohen, Ellington, Cheese, Chopin, Jessca Hoop, Vedder, Diana Krall, Rickie, Ravi, Jai Uttal.... I love genius in music. Oh. And Chopin.

West Jordan Man "Swings" to His Death, Near Moab
A West Jordan family is in shock today, after their relative swung to his death, Sunday afternoon, under a 140-foot high, sandstone arch.
Grand County authorities say a group of six friends hiked to Corona Arch and set up a large rope swing to pass under it.
The extreme sport activity has been made popular recently, by You Tube videos.
But the group miscalculated the length of rope they needed -- and when Kyle Stocking, 22, attempted his swing, he crashed into the ground, below the arch.
Paramedics responded -- but Stocking was dead at the scene.

Philadelphia — With an estimated 23 percent of prescribed doses of opioids used non-medically and dentist prescribing 12 percent of immediate-release (IR) opioids, Dr. Elliot Hersh, Professor, Department of Oral Surgery & Pharmacology, and Director of the Division of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at Penn Dental Medicine was among a panel of experts convened to discuss the role of dentists in preventing prescription opioid abuse. In March 2010, Tufts Health Care Institute Program on Opioid Risk Management and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, co-hosted a two-day meeting on opioid abuse and how dentists can help minimize the potential for misuse and abuse. Dr. Hersh was among the panel of nine experts selected from academia, professional organizations, industry, law enforcement and governmental to participate in the meeting, coauthoring with them a report on the findings of the meeting, published in the July 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association.

Leak in bathroom wet cement, best way to dry it out
I rent out my basement and the caulking came up in the bathroom and water got under the vinyl. I guess its been 2-3 months with water underneath. She just told me and I am not to happy obviously.
I know I have to take up the vinyl to dry out the cement but what is the best way and how long will it take to dry out?
Any help is much appreciated.
With all due respect, no one over the Internet can answer that question with any certainty.
Variables would include the size of the bath, the amount of water that leaked, the humidity level of your basement and so on.
I'd take up the vinyl and set up a fan, and perhaps a dehumidifier and keep an eye on things.
It may turn out to be no big deal
