Biosphere reserves represent a new approach to nature conservation. They are model areas for new techniques and knowledge for sustainable relationship between man and nature.
The Swedish programme "Man and the Biosphere" aim to encourage interdisciplinary research, demonstration of best practice locally and training in sustainable cultural and natural resource management. The programme contributes not only to a better understanding of the environment, including global change, but also to a greater interaction between science, local knowledge and regional and local governance. A beacon is the interaction between actors at different levels of society and that the initiative to establish biosphere reserves must come from local and regional levels.
Declarations of Biosphere reserves, in Swedish: biosfärområde (Biosphere Area), does not by itself provide a protection in a legal sense or any further restrictions or additional demands on existing protected areas.
Biosphere reserves are closely linked to the UNESCO scientific programme entitled "Man and the Biosphere" (MAB). The MAB programme aims to improve the relationship between man and the environment across the globe. Biosphere reserves are the most important means of achieving this under the programme.
The biosphere is the zone in which man and other organisms can live. Unesco uses the term "biosphere reserves" for areas combining nature conservation with human development. They are model areas where it is possible to test new knowledge and practical approaches to achieving a sustainable relationship between man and nature, and between use and conservation.
The area covered by a biosphere reserve must be large enough for it to fulfil three functions:
Biosphere reserves are organised into three geographical zones, known as core areas, buffer zones and transition areas.
In april 2016, there are 669 biosphere reserves in 120 countries around the world, a number that is growing with some twenty each year. The biosphere reserves form a global network: the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
In the Nordic countries, we have had biosphere reserves since the 1970s. There are currently seven biosphere reserves in the Nordic countries, five of which are located in Sweden.
Lake Torneträsk, formed in 1986, was the first Swedish biosphere reserve. As it did not meet the criteria laid down in 1995 by the Seville Strategy and the framework for the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, it was withdrawn from the world network in 2010.
The Swedish EPA has played an active part in the MAB programme for many years. The EPA hosts the Swedish MAB committee and provide a base funding for seven biosphere reserves and biosphere candidate areas.

Team Khan response
Team Khan is extremely disappointed with the recent press release sent out by Paul McCloskey's promoter, Barry Hearn, accusing Amir Khan of using the Irish fighter to get a cheap title defense.
According to Team Khan, a substantial offer was put to McCloskey's team that would have seen the Irishman receive up to three times the amount he has ever been paid for a fight. McCloskey's promoter asked for a purse over five times the amount he has ever received. Every time Team Khan believed that they were close to agreeing terms with McCloskey, his team would move the goalposts and ultimately their demands were rejected as being unrealistic.
Even though Paul McCloskey is not a pay-per-view fighter, his team demanded significant shares of the PPV revenue. In an effort to recognise McCloskey's ability to sell tickets he was offered up to 20% commission on ticket sales. His team however demanded more.
Asif Vali, Business Manager of Amir Khan, said:
"Barry Hearn has out-priced his fighter having demanded an astronomical amount despite the fact an excellent offer was put forward to him. The deal put to McCloskey was a great one and looking back on it may be something he will regret.
"The challenger's concern should not be about how much the champion is getting paid but the purse he will be getting – I wonder whether McCloskey has overlooked this.
"The offer put to McCloskey's team was not 'totally derisory' as Hearn claimed but was a deal that most fighters in his position would jump at."
Amir Khan was eager for this all British affair to go-ahead at the Manchester Evening News Arena on April 16th but will now revisit other options currently on the table.

What Makes Jesus Mad (2 of 6) by Roger Thomas
This content is part of a series.What Makes Jesus Mad (2 of 6)
Series: Day by Day with Jesus
Roger Thomas
Mark 11:11-19
On Sunday, Jesus entered the city riding on the foal of a donkey. But he came in humility. Warrior kings rode in on prancing stallions. Jesus came on a donkey. He also came with tears in his eyes for the city that would reject his offer of grace. On Monday, the tears have turned to fire. His eyes blaze with indignation.
Between now and Easter weekend, we are following Jesus day by day through the last week of his life. This week, from Palm Sunday to Good Friday and on to Resurrection Weekend, was the most important week of Jesus' life. This was what it was all about. Everything he had done for his entire thirty-three years and especially his three and half year ministry led up to this week. If we don't understand the significance of his last week, I doubt very much if we grasp who Jesus was and what he to do for us. These events matter.
Monday reveals a side of Jesus many would rather not have to deal with. Everybody likes a Jesus who teaches us to love our neighbors and takes little children into his arms. People honor a miracle worker who heals the sick and promises to answer our prayers. They eagerly quote the Jesus who says, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." There is something nice and comforting about the baby in the manger, the calmer of storms, and the forgiver of sins. Monday presents a disturbingly different portrait of our savior.
Two events take place. First, on the way into town, he curses a barren fig tree. It eventually withers and dies. He then heads straight for the Jewish temple and forcibly drives the merchants and moneychangers from the outer court. This Jesus has fire in his eyes and fierce indignation in his heart. There is no way around it. Jesus was good and mad.
For some people this raises a bit of a problem. Some define anger as a sin. But the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus was without sin. H ...

I have had Botox before with no side effects whatsoever. However, this time I could feel the liquied being injected even when the doctor was doing it with the needle, like if he was injecting air as well. Now I have a little lump that makes the noise of liquied flowing when I touch it.I have just had Botox in my forehead and when I touch the area I can hear kind of noises. When I touch the little lumps I can hear something simmilar to liquid moving, is this normal? I am quite scared because I had Botox before but theses symptoms never occured to me.

So about a week ago I had my saline implants exchanged for Mentor Silicone memory gel implants. I can't say enough what a difference they are.
My implants were place behind the muscle which I would highly recommend because it makes the breasts look more natural. My cousin has them above the muscle and they are beginning to sag. I had my implants in for 12 years before I decided to change them.
The saline implants are hard because well ..its saline water in them there isn't any give to them. When I would push my breast in the side the whole implant would shift and it was very uncomfortable. If I had a bra on which was even a tad to small it felt painful and the implant would actually feel like I had a ball sitting in my breast, the feeling is hard to put in words. The silicone implants I have now are an amazing difference.
I no longer have that feeling that something "foreign" is in my body. When you touch them on the side your finger pushes in and they are so soft just like a real breast should feel. I can't say enough what a better feeling these implants are I no longer have any pain and they look and feel so natural. I will never go back to saline implants I am so happy!

Jonathan Saunders
In a season that looks set to be defined by the patchwork coat it seemed appropriate that strips of fabric borrowed and blended from Saunders's latest menswear offering were among his show's high-points. This was quilting gone rogue with a broad spectrum of colour, texture and cut amalgamated in every outfit. Put together by superstar stylist Katie Grand, who ingeniously relied on American tan tights to heighten the eclecticism at work, Saunders's latest show was among the finest on the schedule. Next season the entire world will be wearing fisherman sweaters with printed silk skirts. Mark our words. KD
JW Anderson
He's the designer that doesn't do dresses. At least he was. For next winter, Anderson has dabbled in the art. In keeping with his dedication to originality, Northern Irish Anderson reimagines the common frock with androgynous drapery and subversive silhouettes. The clog-like shoes enhance the anti-feminine feel.
This was an industrial, occasionally sinister showcase in which corduroy made a return to the catwalk. KD
House of Holland
A House of Holland catwalk show is never without a sense of humour. Henry Holland didn't disappoint this season. Citing "debauched debutants" as his muse, Holland went on a kitsch charm offensive with ballroom tile prints, tabloid slogans and glittering champagne flutes adorning cropped jumpers and full prom skirts. His message for next winter: if it isn't sequinned, ruffled or covered in pom-poms, don't bother. EM

Christopher Kane
An abattoir may have served as inspiration for Christopher Kane's arresting autumn/winter collection but this was no horror show. It was every inch a work of art. Merging pointers of luxury with technical fabrics such as nylon and vinyl for mesmerising effect, Kane unveiled the stand-out show of the week, which showcased his newfound status as a big hitter in the luxury market. Coats, deliciously slouchy and in hues of sludge brown and sugar pink, were among the many highlights. A series of ribbon-trimmed, zinging crochet sweaters in yellow came a close second. KD
Roksanda Ilincic
"Exploring the interplay of the industrial with the feminine," read the show notes at Roksanda Ilincic, but they may as well have said that the inspiration was demonstrating the way real women want to dress. It was colourful but not garish; innovative but not intimidating. Ilincic had considered every woman in this collection, whether she's most comfortable in a skirt or a suit. EM
Richard Nicoll
The woman who feels inspired by the perfect navy sweater and the masterfully cut wide-leg pant is the same woman who leaves a Richard Nicoll show with a full shopping list for the season ahead. After all, while other designers might dabble in sporty minimalism, Nicoll has carved a career from it. Next winter, Nicoll's girl is treated to luxurious cable-knits, tennis skirts and cleverly cut knife-pleat dressers. A rubber-soled loafer also served as a genius addition to this collection. KD
Mary Katrantzou
She's the queen of digital prints but this season Mary Katrantzou threw a curveball by featuring — wait for it — no prints at all. But even without the prints that made her a star, the collection was a triumph. Redirecting her focus towards tactile 3D forms, the Greek designer incorporated heavy chainmail, airy knife pleats and metallic brocade. This is a pioneering new direction for Katrantzou. EM
Gothic romance underpins Erdem Moralioglu's work at the moment. Deliciously feminine but heavy on drama, his vision for autumn/winter is a collection of knee-length cocktail gowns which combine luxurious velvet, brocade and lace. Certain to delight Erdem's loyal customer — see the Duchess of Cambridge — these are gowns with serious red-carpet appeal. A caped satin gown with a delicate wild flower motif was a highlight. KD
A delicate sort of anarchism (if you can imagine such a thing) was the bottom line of Bailey's latest collection for Burberry with the brand's classic trench coats reinterpreted with floral doodles. The same treatment was given to shearling aviator coats and to leather lace-up sandals. Of course, if this is a rebellion it is one of beauty with delicate linen, printed fly-away silk and blouson- sleeve tea-dresses in autumnal floral prints among this collection's high points. KD

15wk old male GSD attacked by 3yr old male GSD - He's not the same
Hello everyone,
Long-winded post ahead.
My husband and I rescued what we think is likely a pure bred "American" German Shepherd from a local GSD rescue. We knew that without going to a reputable breeder, we were in for possible trouble (lack of confidence, weak nerves, etc.), but our puppy, Hunter, just seemed to be the one for us.
And we were/are lucky. Hunter is a crazy GSD male with loads of energy, but boy is he SMART and he aims to please. He was walking well on a leash by 11 weeks and behaving off leash shortly thereafter. We've had him in 4 puppy training classes and he's doing wonderfully. He's been socialized with many dogs and children and people and everyone loves him. He only would bark outside our house (I've heard this is normal).
Two weeks ago, we were walking back from the park and were stopped by a man and his 3yr old GSD, who we found out had also been adopted from a local shelter. The older dog was VERY calm and sweet. Hunter went the sniff him (after 5 minutes of chatting no less) and out of nowhere, the dog attacked him and bit a hole right through his ear. The man was devastated and apologetic and said his dog had never done anything like that before.
It's two weeks later and Hunter has not been the same. He barks at EVERYTHING. We live in a city across from a daycare and he barks at the little kids and baby carriages and teeny dogs and garbage cans. He races ahead now and looks nervously around when we walk. If a dog barks at him he bolts. Any "alpha" status that my husband and I had seems to have vanished. He's been in a cone of shame, too, which makes him even less happy a camper.
1. Any possible explanation as to why this seemingly gentle dog would want to bite Hunter when Hunter has gotten along with every other dog he's met to date? We feel awful that perhaps we didn't read the signs?
2. What can we do to help Hunter be confident again and reestablish his faith in us as his leaders / parents? It's been so sad see this happen to him and we want to continue to socialize him as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
There is an application to fill out, and if approved, a contract. Both are very personal...for a reason. We will work with the right applicant but we're very serious about the information given to us.
We require home visits, vet references, personal references, fences, and the ability to show that you are able and willing to care for the dogs for the long term.
Most of the time phone calls and emails are answered immediately. However, there are times when it can take a day or 2. Please be patient...But if you haven't heard from anyone with 48 hrs, please contact us again.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Christa R. Haggai, Attorney-at-Law
At The Haggai Law Firm, we understand the importance of sharing the road with automobiles and bicycles. With the infamous traffic congestion throughout the major roads of California, many have taken to riding their bikes for an easy commute. Unfortunately, not all car drivers have made a habit of looking out for bicyclists, sometimes resulting in horrible accidents. The Haggai Law Firm is a small, but reputable firm that has handled numerous bicycle accident cases. If you have been involved in an accident in Los Angeles, contact us for a free, confidential assessment. We will assess your circumstances and guide you through the trying times ahead.
Too often, victims of a bicycle accident are not aware of their rights. Do not attempt to deal with the pressures of the courtroom on your own. Allow a lawyer from The Haggai Law Firm to handle the proceedings for you. There are too many intangibles to deal with on your own, and you want to be sure to have a lawyer who can cover all of the bases for you. Personal injury law can be a tedious task for you to navigate on your own, especially with the additional burdens of dealing with your injuries and financial stability, so allow us to assist you so you can move on with your life.
When you have suffered a bike collision, the attorney for the defendant will do everything in his or her power to make sure their client does not have to take full responsibility for the accident. Do not put yourself at such a disadvantage that you limp away from court with the minimum of what you deserve, or worse, nothing. The Haggai Law firm takes personal injury law personally. We are experienced in all facets of personal injury law, and while we are industrious and hard working professionals, we will make you feel at home during this stressful time.
Your personal injury lawyer will make sure you find quick and proper medical care from the finest doctors available and are also very experienced in dealing with bicycle accident cases. Immediate action allows your lawyer to gather more evidence and preserve it.

Christa R. Haggai was nominated in her profession as one of the rising stars, and is well known and respected in the legal community by judges and fellow lawyers alike. Prior to opening her own practice in 2000, she worked for one of the largest firms in California dealing with worker compensation and personal injury. Her life has been dedicated to helping her community and individuals, and she is a passionate fighter for the underdog.

I just received a communication from the Flintstones which indicated their joy at news the Texas State School Board is now headed by a former biology teacher who does not believe in the crazy theory of evolution. Can you really believe there are people in America who think the Earth was formed millions of years ago. How can that be? The Flintstones and friends like Barney Rubble have ridden dinosaurs for years and they knew how to write thousands of years ago when the Earth was formed. For some reason this guy, Darwin has fooled millions into believing the Earth has been around for all those millions and millions of years. Let's look at the record:
1. God created Adam and Eve and all the animals and life forms about 10,000 years ago.
2. He had to help we Earth people after the Flood and so he got those animals on the ark with Noah and that's why we have all the life forms on this planet. Thank you, Mr. Noah.
3. I suspect the next thing LIBERALS will be teaching our children is that the Flintstones did not speak English!
We have to keep Christ in our schools. We have to prevent atheists and Evolutionists from brain washing children with their weird anti-Christian views on life.

Hi folks,
Have been reading through lots of fantastic info. here on the forums, and thought I should introduce myself a bit, since I'm sure I'll be asking questions later.
I've only been shooting for about a year. Used to shoot some back on the farm when younger, but then moved around a lot as I got older and was always in cities. Shooting just didn't come up.
I'm an artist--none of my 'art' friends shoot, carry, or even think shooting's ok. They all love me, but secretly wonder if I'm a crazed gun nut. I don't know why the minute someone takes an interest in shooting, improving accuracy etc, this makes you a 'gun nut.' But there it is.
As a youngster I shot mostly revolvers. As an adult I've totally gone over into semi-auto land. I own two pistols--a Walther P22 & a CZ 75B (blued) 9mm. It is a beautiful and well-made pistol.
I've never had any formal training--but did just sign up for a basic gun safety class next week, & want to take more classes like this. I'm a good natural shot, but am sure I can learn a lot and keep on improving as I learn.
I'm just starting to seriously research 9mm pistols for concealed carry, holsters, etc. One of the main problems I run into is difficulty in trying out a pistol before I commit to buying it. I've got a few ideas for what I'd like, but would prefer to shoot before purchase. After my safety class, I'm going to apply for my CC permit. In Atlanta, the process takes a while. Figure the sooner the better, and while I'm waiting, I can take a CC class, etc.
That's about it. Happy to be here and learn from so many folk.

Binding to go w/Slayblade & DC Judge Boots?
I've been doing a lot of research online (unfortunately I haven't had time to look at many bindings in person except K2 & Ride), I think I've narrowed my selection based on what I think would work well with my riding style and setup(http://www.snowboardingforum.com/sla...-bindings.html) based on reviews etc.(in no particular order):
1) Rome: Targa or 390 Boss.
Like: Adjustability, Auto Strap, Canting options, Adjustable flex on ankle strap.
Unknown: Toe and ankle strap comfort. Compatibility w/boots, board and riding style.
2) K2: Auto Ever, Auto Drone or Formula.
Like: Ankle strap hinge, funnel to feed ladder into ratchet, Auto, Forward lean adjustment, Harshmello.
Unknown: Toe and ankle strap comfort. Compatibility w/boots, board and riding style.
3) Ride: Double Agent or SPi.
Like: Customer service, Adjustable flex on ankle strap, toe cap strap seems like it would hold well and be comfortable.
Unknown: Toe and ankle strap comfort. Compatibility w/boots, board and riding style.
A few questions:
1) Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge of how any of these bindings might fit a pair of 09/10 DC Judge boots (sz 11)?
2) I prefer toe cap to over the toe. Which toe strap slips the least/is the most comfortable?
3) Canted footbeds seem to make a ton of sense, but I don't really have a wide stance or knee problems, would I still benefit from them?
4) BOTH zones of the BOA Focus have a cable that runs through and tightens the same area where the top of the ankle bends/where the ankle strap goes (I think I need triple boa focus, lower, upper and ankle lol) and I always experience mild discomfort in this area. Which bindings' ankle straps would be most comfortable?
5) My boots are quite stiff, would a stiffer binding (Targa, Double agent) be too much?
Any other things I should consider, suggestions, advice, feedback etc...would be greatly appreciated!

If you don't need this till next year I would look at Raiden Phantoms. Super good, comfy, solid toe strap and comfy ankle strap.
If you need them now I would put either Rome Targas or NXT ATSE's on mine, if I was getting one.

Targas cause they have customizability with a great toestrap, solid smooth ratchets, and canting. ATSE's cause Flows are the most comfortable bindings with that big strap and the toe-heel performance is great.

Sometimes I get the feeling that God does not like being God.
I wonder if there is a second act in Heaven.
My heart is in the stars, my life is on this insignificant planet.
All too often we forget to remember.
We remember what we want to remember, not what was.

Southampton 1-1 Cardiff
- From the section Football
Southampton maintained their one-point advantage over Championship promotion rivals Cardiff with a hard-fought draw.
Craig Conway had given third-placed Cardiff the lead at St Mary's, scoring from eight yards after a Peter Whittingham corner fell kindly for him.
Saints upped the pressure as they sought to keep hold of second place and were awarded a penalty for handball.
Adam Lallana's cross hit Kevin McNaughton on the arm and Rickie Lambert blasted the spot-kick home.
But the draw helped both sides close the gap on Championship leaders West Ham, after the London side's surprise 5-1 drubbing at Ipswich.
The home side started brightly, with Lambert putting in a star turn as he peppered the Cardiff goal - first with a long shot that dropped inches wide then two good headers just over the crossbar.
Southampton thought they should have had a penalty when Lambert was pulled to the ground in the area, but referee Mark Haywood waved away appeals.
Cardiff snatched the lead from their first chance, as goalkeeper Kelvin Davis struggled to punch clear from a Whittingham corner.
The ball dropped to Conway lurking eight yards out and the midfielder rifled the ball into an unguarded net.
Andrew Taylor's long-range strike was punched away by Davis, while Lallana blazed wide twice in quick succession at the other end before the break.
Nigel Adkins' side started the second half with renewed purpose and after Lallana had another strong penalty appeal turned down, Saints were finally awarded a spot-kick when the same player's cross was adjudged to have been handled by McNaughton.
Lambert stepped up and made no mistake, slamming the ball hard and straight past David Marshall for his 19th goal of the season.
Southampton pushed hard for a winner but were almost caught when Bluebirds striker Kenny Miller fired over from 12 yards.
Cardiff wasted another chance to snatch it when Aron Gunnarsson was wayward with a left-footed drive from just inside the area, but at the other end the busy Lallana saw a close-range effort scrambled away by Marshall to keep honours even.
Southampton manager Nigel Adkins: "I've watched the video and we had two stonewall penalties turned down before [the penalty that was awarded].
"That said, it was a good point and I thought we played some good football in the second half and created some good chances.
"We could have won, but with West Ham being beaten so heavily there's still plenty for us - and Cardiff - to play for."
Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay told BBC Radio Wales: "I was delighted. They had to change their shape to get back into the game as the home team, and when they do attack they attack in numbers.
"You've really got to stand up and block, make sure you defend properly and pick up your runners, which is what we did tonight.
"A full-strength Southampton took us on tonight at their place, we locked horns and both butted heads and came out with a creditable point each."

Oregonian sports writer Adam Jude believes the hiring of new wide receiver coach Matt Lubick may signal a change in philosophy for the Oregon offense. The usual run-first attack may evolve to a more pass-heavy offense next year. Lubick, who coached at Duke last year, was recently named the wide receivers coach of the year by FootballScoop.com. He brings with him an offensive philosophy that could revolutionize an already revolutionary offense.
According to ESPN, Duke had three receivers with over 65 receptions each last year. To put that in perspective, De'Anthony Thomas led the Ducks with 45 receptions, and he's a running back! Josh Huff led the Oregon receiver corps with 32 receptions – meager compared to the Duke receiving corps. If the Ducks do throw more, the receivers will have to step up and change the way they play the game.
Oregon's offense relies heavily on blocking from their receivers when running their fast-paced offense. Last season, Oregon receivers were feared by foes for formidable blocking and were a large reason for the Ducks' success on the ground. If the Ducks switch to a more pass-happy offense it will be interesting to see how the receivers transition to their new role, and if they can do so and still maintain their reputation as the meanest downfield blockers in the PAC.

Despite saying yesterday that he expected to return this afternoon, third baseman Ryan Zimmerman received an MRI exam on his sore left hamstring at noon today and will miss his second consecutive game against the Mets. The results from the test will determine the Nationals' course of action. Manager Davey Johnson said he does not believe Zimmerman will land on the disabled list.
Zimmerman first felt a cramp in his left hamstring last weekend against the Braves. He aggravated it Wednesday night against the Marlins, leaving the game after he made a throw on the run. Zimmerman sat out Friday, but after a brief battery of drills he said he would play today. Instead, he underwent an MRI.
"I know that he's concerned about it," Johnson said. "He's a gamer. He wants to play. … I'm going to really leave that up to the doctors. But if they have any question about it, I'll stay off him. If you don't pull it, it may be a week. As far as I'm concerned, it's going to be a DL thing."
General Manager Mike Rizzo said he believed Zimmerman would not land on the disabled list even in the worst-case scenario. But, he cautioned, the Nationals would have to see the test results first to be certain.
Yesterday, Zimmerman, Johnson and Nationals medical personnel decided together on Zimmerman not playing. Zimmerman had conversations with hitting coach Rick Eckstein about the cramping and tightness in his hamstring giving him difficulty when he landed and rotated on his left leg as he swung. Eckstein informed Johnson, which convinced him to be cautious.
"It's something I don't want to take a chance on getting worse," Johnson said. "All games are important. But to take the chance of setting him back and missing double the time, I'm not willing to take that gamble."
In both 2011 and 2012, Zimmerman landed on the disabled list in April. Two years ago, he tore an abdominal muscle that eventually required surgery. Last season, Zimmerman missed 15 days with an inflamed shoulder joint, an ailment that eventually required offseason surgery. Zimmerman also landed on the disabled list 2008, and in 2010 he missed roughly 20 games with injury despite never landing on the DL.
This season, Zimmerman is hitting .226/.311/.358 with one homer. His throwing mechanics came under scrutiny this week after he made four errors in five games.
Second baseman Danny Espinosa, meanwhile, will return to the lineup after he missed four games with swelling in his right hand and wrist. Espinosa was hit a Paul Maholm fastball Sunday, leading to him not playing for nearly a week.
Here are the full lineups for today:
1. Denard Span, CF
2. Jayson Werth, RF
3. Bryce Harper, LF
4. Adam LaRoche, 1B
5. Ian Desmond, SS
6. Chad Tracy, 3B

The Farman HF.20 was developed in 1913 and was being used by most of the air forces in Europe by the time World War I began. It was designed for reconnaissance and had very stable flight characteristics, but it didn't have a very powerful engine and wasn't suitable for fighter or bomber missions, although some pilots made the attempt. The Farman F.20 was withdrawn from front line service as more nimble aircraft became available.
My plane includes skins for Belgian, French, and Russian versions. Decals and my skinning templates are included in the download.
Ojcar has created a fake machine gun for the pilot, which causes the AI plane to be more aggressive in pursuing enemy planes. I have installed that gun on this plane. Ojcar's "DummyMachineGun" data is included with this download, in case you don't already have it.
Some flyers wore simple crash helmets in WWI, especially in the early days. I am using a pilot with a helmet in this plane. The pilot and installation instructions are included in the download, in case you don't already have it.
The Farman HF.20 has a wider wingspan than First Eagles expects so you should install my "Airfields for Large Planes" available in the Combat Ace downloads area. Otherwise, when starting on the runway, your wings may be touching the wings of the planes next to you. This will cause an immediate collision and you or other planes in your flight may lose their wingtips as soon as the game starts.
Thanks to Ojcar for making the data file for the Farman HF.20 and for making the data for the dummy machine gun.
Thanks also to Crawford who provided resources for the Farman cockpits.
Installation Instructions
For FE1 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "FarmanHF20" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder.
For FE2 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "FarmanHF20" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "FarmanHF20". Move the folder named "D" from your Aircraft/FarmanHF20 folder into the Decals/FarmanHF20 folder you just made.
You may not need to install the dummy machine gun, it has been used on other planes and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the gun and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.
You may not need to install the pilot with helmet, it has been available for download for some time and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the pilot and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.
What a pleasant surprise, thank you Stephen! With the HF30, 40, also the earlier Farman 7 and 11 located in the downloads section, we now have a complete "family" of Farmans for early war scenarios.
Happy flying,
Von S

Social Security Numbers:
Use Is Widespread and Protections Vary in Private and Public Sectors
GAO-04-1099T: Published: Sep 28, 2004. Publicly Released: Sep 28, 2004.

In 1936, the Social Security Administration (SSA) established the Social Security number (SSN) to track workers' earnings for social security benefit purposes. Today, private and public sector entities frequently ask individuals for SSNs in order to conduct their businesses and sometimes to comply with federal laws. Although uses of SSNs can be beneficial to the public, SSNs are also a key piece of information in creating false identities either for financial misuse or for assuming an individual's identity. The retention of SSNs in the public and private sectors can create opportunities for identity theft. In addition, the aggregation of personal information, such as SSNs, in large corporate databases, as well as the public display of SSNs in various records accessed by the public, may provide criminals the opportunity to easily obtain this personal information. Given the heightened awareness of identity crimes, this testimony focuses on describing (1) how private sector entities obtain, use, and protect SSNs, and (2) public sector uses and protections of SSNs.
Private sector entities rely extensively on SSNs. We reported early this year that entities such as information resellers, consumer reporting agencies, and health care organizations routinely obtain SSNs from their business clients and public sources, such as government records that can be displayed to the public. These entities then use SSNs for various purposes, such as to verify an individual's identity or to match existing records, and have come to rely on the SSN as an identifier, which helps them determine a person's identity for the purpose of providing the services they offer. There is no single federal law that regulates the overall use or restricts the disclosure of SSNs by private sector entities. However, certain federal laws have helped to place restrictions on the disclosures of personal information private sector entities are allowed to make to their customers, and certain states have enacted laws to restrict the private sector's use of SSNs. Public sector entities also extensively use SSNs. All three levels of government use the SSN to comply with certain federal laws and regulations, as well as for their own purposes. These agencies rely on the SSN to manage records, verify benefit eligibility, collect outstanding debt, and conduct research and program evaluations. In addition, given the open nature of certain government records, SSNs appear in records displayed to the public such as documents that record financial transactions or court documents. Despite the widespread reliance on and use of SSNs, government agencies are taking steps to safeguard the SSN. For example, some agencies are not using the SSN as the primary identification number. In a previous report, we proposed that Congress consider developing a unified approach to safeguarding SSNs used in all levels of government and particularly those displayed in public records, and we continue to believe that this approach has merit. The use of SSNs by both private and public sector entities is likely to continue, but the more frequently SSNs are used, the more likely they are to be misused given the continued rise in identity crimes. In considering restrictions to SSN use, policy makers will have to balance the protections that could occur from such restrictions with legitimate business needs for the use of SSNs.

Nutritional Therapy: Online
Online course series
There are a total of fourteen required interactive online courses. Biochemical Foundations/Nutrients (CEU 9399) and Nutrition: Anatomy & Physiology (CEU 3143) are offered in alternating terms giving students two opportunities each year to complete these courses. Students interact with their instructor online for lecture once per week.
The remaining twelve courses each have four weeks devoted to a specific topic. Students attend a weekly, two-hour, interactive lecture online with the respective instructor. Students have the opportunity to receive additional support during weekly office hours facilitated by the instructor of that topic area. Students are assessed through an exam at the end of each month, which covers the reading material and lectures, and a brief paper due shortly after each topic month concludes.
Classes are designed so that participants can enter this series of study during any term. While designed as a term course, each four-week offering can be taken individually. The year-long calendar can be accessed in the Upcoming Schedule tab below.
Online courses require that students have basic to intermediate computer savvy, and are skilled in personal discipline, task organization and time management. Students should expect to invest a minimum of 2-3 hours of study time for every hour of lecture in order to be successful in this course. High-speed internet access (DSL, cable modem, or satellite) is required in order to meet online learning technical requirements. Students are also required to have a headset with microphone.

West Newton drummer Luzier puts on a clinic for fans
Jacob Cox remembered when he was in third grade five years ago and then-Yough administrator Sharon Luzier brought her son Ray into his classroom for a visit.
The young drummer was awestruck of the musician that has toured with the likes of David Lee Roth and Stone Temple Pilots and has been the drummer for metal band Korn for six years.
"He's just my inspiration," the 13-year-old from Herminie said as he waited in line for Luzier's autograph after a drum clinic at the Monroeville Guitar Center on Saturday. "I'm going to see if he remembers me."
Luzier spent two hours playing songs, solos and exercises in between answering questions from the crowd of about 100 people gathered at the store.
The West Newton native spent a week in the area visiting with his family, capped off by the clinic, before he returned to Los Angeles to rehearse for two weeks ahead of a tour kickoff stop at the Ice Garden in Rostraver.
Luzier said he offhandedly mentioned the small venue when Korn's management was looking for "warm-up" locations before heading out to summer festivals across the country and in Europe.
"I never thought it would come to fruition," he said. "I used to skate there when I was 10."
Austin Nicholson, 16, of Connellsville said he likes the drummer's use of cymbals and triplets. The teenager has been a Korn fan since he was 9, influenced by his father Bill.
"He already had his tickets to see them in Rostraver two minutes after they went on sale," said his mother who took him to the clinic Saturday. "I'm forced to listen to Korn whether I want to or not," she said jokingly, wearing a T-shirt she borrowed from her husband.
Michelle Lloyd and Mark McCormick drove more than eight hours from Kingston, Ontario, to see Ray Luzier behind his kit.
McCormick, 31, said a friend had turned him on to the band when they were in eighth grade together and they had seen the band live together twice.
"It's just the energy," he said. "It's a good show."
Unfortunately, his friend committed suicide in 2011. McCormick had Luzier sign a Korn sweatshirt he had made in his friend's memory.
"I'm sure he's watching right now," Lloyd said smiling after the couple met the drummer.
Store Manager Taylor Frost said Luzier was very relatable during the clinic, keeping things interesting not only for drummers or musicians, but anyone who was a fan.
"He's lived in L.A. for a long time, but you can definitely tell he's from here," Frost said. "I think the message was really simple: have fun, be dedicated and enjoy making music."
Korn has recorded 20 songs for an album planned for a fall release and Luzier is also working to release an album at about the same time with a side project, called KXM, with George Lynch of Dokken and Dug Pinnick of King's X.
The drummer already knows the Ice Garden will be packed with friendly faces, since he often sees his parents, family and classmates from Yough's Class of 1988 at hometown gigs.
"They just know that my passion is so great and the fire's never gone out," he said.

The story follows a young girl who becomes bored with her millions of toys so climbs up the massive pile and into the attic. As the story goes on she discovers the attic isn't quite how it seems, seeing imaginative versions of her Parisian home and, by the end of the book, leaving children and parents to wonder whether it was all just a dream.

TalkTalk Mobile is launching Britain's lowest priced mobile plan with a price of just £3.50 a month.
The budget fee covers a SIM-only deal of 100 minutes, 250 texts and 100MB of data on either a 12 month contract or a commitment-free month-by-month basis.
It's not the first time TalkTalk has offered a bargain-basement tariff. The company revealed a £1.25 per month deal in July, but that was limited to Huawei Ascend Y210 handset.
The mobile network launched just a year ago and has gained 200,000 smartphone and SIM only customers with its value-for-money schemes.
TalkTalk's newest low-cost price plan comes as part of a company-wide tariff refresh. It is also adding more minutes, texts and data to existing tariffs.
The firm's "Large" plan now comes with unlimited calls and texts for the first time as well as 4GB of data. "Medium" users are also being given unlimited texts and 500 minutes as well as 1-Gigabyte of data.
"A big appeal of TalkTalk Mobile is our firm value for money position. We offer some of the most premium handsets available for the most competitive price," said Dan Meader from TalkTalk.
"With more handsets than people out there, our SIM only price plans are perfect for people who want to keep their current handset or hand it down to their children, without having to take a pricey contract. We want people to have more choice and flexibility."

Grooming Mens Thick Eyebrows
Grooming mens thick eyebrows can get rid of the mono-brow and tame those long wiry brows. Thick bushy eyebrows on men can get pretty crazy looking. The uni brow is not an attractive feature.
Crazy thick eyebrows that seem to grow everywhere are distracting and strange looking. Now, you probably do not pay too much attention to your eyebrows as you may your hairstyle in your morning routines or any other time for that matter.
Take a look in the mirror right now. Seriously, go look at your eyebrows. I will wait. All right, now did you notice some loose strands where they should not be? Or did you notice you have some hairs growing in the middle looking like it is going to create a uni brow?
Perhaps you noticed that you have unusually long eyebrows? All of these eyebrow problems can be fixed. You may not have even noticed them before, and for that matter, they may not have even been there before.
Maintain Your Eyebrows
You could be known as the guy with the eyebrows at your work place, and not even know it because no one would like to be that honest. However, the exception is here. I will be honest with you.
Man, you need to maintain your eyebrows! It is not unusual for men as they age to have their eyebrows grow longer and even fuller.
A do it yourself at home thing may not be what will help you. It could actually hurt more than help. Have you ever seen those women with thin eyebrows that seem to be drawn in with a pencil?
It's not pretty, huh? That is what happens when you make the smallest mistake plucking or trimming your eyebrows.
Even the smallest mistake can make your eyebrows look lopsided, which means you will have to balance them. As you can see this can easily get way out of control.
Start With Professional Care
Shaping, trimming and plucking thick bushy eyebrows requires knowledge, skill and experience. Make an appointment at your local salon to get your eyebrows done.
Pay attention to how they do your eyebrows and ask lots of questions.
This way you will see how they do your eyebrows so you can do it yourself at home later and not have to spend a chunk of cash every time you need to get your eyebrows done. You can maintain them every day during your morning routine.
Ask Questions
Ask as many questions as you can think of. You might even want to take a good head on picture of yourself afterwards so you can refer to it when you are maintaining your eyebrows at home by yourself.
When you go to the salon they may want to wax your thick eyebrows, but refuse and just ask them to trim and tweeze them.
If you let them wax your eyebrows you will not learn as much as you can while they are tweezing.
Plus, they will try to talk you into going back to the salon every four weeks to get your eyebrows waxed.
That can take a lot of cash out of your pocket that does not have to be taken. You can learn how to do it on your own without spending more than $50 per appointment.

Radio Show Recap: July 8th
Immigration Crisis Swells
President Obama will meet with Texas Governor Rick Perry this week to discuss the crisis at our border, though he still will not visit the actual border.
Major Garrett reports that they will meet in Dallas on Wednesday. This comes after Perry refused Obama's invitation to simply shake hands at the airport, instead insisting on a substantive meeting to discuss the situation.
Obama will still do his fundraising while in Texas. In fact, Breitbart reports that one fundraiser will be held in the home of Austin-based filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, directors of a pro-illegal immigration film.
Obama's unwillingness to visit the border has some comparing him to George W. Bush's decision not to visit New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Ed Rogers writes in the Washington Post, "It's shocking that the president would avoid visiting ground zero of what essentially constitutes an invasion of America." But the White House insists that it is "not worried about those optics."
Unable to get a response from the White House as to whether or not these illegal immigrants will be allowed to stay in the United States, the White House is requesting $2 billion from Congress to hire more immigration judges and open up more facilities. That doesn't exactly sound like they intend to send them back home…(continue reading)
Rand Paul Calls Border Crisis A 'Humanitarian Nightmare'
Eric Bolling, guest host of 'Hannity' welcomed Sen. Rand Paul to the program to discuss the crisis at the border. Paul disagreed with Fox News Contributor Charles Krauthammer that we should work on building a border fence.
"Didn't we finance and fund and legislate for a fence nearly 10 years ago? Why was it never built? And this is the question why some of us who -- I am for some form of immigration reform, but I've steadfastly said I can't vote for something that doesn't have border security first," said the senator.
"Right now, we have a humanitarian nightmare down there, with every child from Central America wanting to come across the border. You can't have a beacon to the whole world to come unless you have a secure border. So that's why many of us conservatives have been saying we have to secure the border first." (continue reading)

Normally, airodump on it's own WILL collect data in such a slow way. Networks generate data on their own, but it's unlikely it's as fast as when using an attack.
But first off, does aireplay --test show anything? Is injection working?

SEATTLE WEDDING IN APRILApril, 2010 in Seattle
"After a pretty memorable proposal in Italy, we were married in Seattle 10.5 months later at Blessed Sacrament Parish and followed that with a reception at Salty's on Alki Restaurant. We put lots of thought into having fun details, and creating items and activities that helped our guests have a great time, and it worked! Our guests loved the cookie and candy buffet we had (most hadn't seen it before!), the multiple options we gave for responding to our invitation (email, phone, or mail) and Wedding Mapper. Our out of town guests loved being able to get the lay of the land before arriving in Seattle-- and I didn't have to spend any money on postage or paper for maps that most brides would have added to their invitation suite."

"Mike can do--- as his business name implies-- amazing things with cake. You may have seen some of his work on The Food Network. Anything you can imagine, he can create. My one bridezilla aspect to wedding planning was that our cake look EXACTLY like the inspiration picture we found. (No point getting into it, but I did have my reasons, promise!) Anyway, Mike put my fears of having a "cake wreck" to rest-- he delivered exactly as we were promised. The cake was gorgeous and looked exactly like the inspiration cake. And while their cake isn't as tasty as Madison Park Bakery's, it was still incredible. We had chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling and lemon with marionberry filling. The lemon & marionberry was good, but the chocolate was great! One last thing-- we found that Mike's was willing to work with us to make our dream cake work within our budget, and that's more than I can say with many vendors. After their estimate came back as too high for us, they worked with us to adjust our order (less presentation cake, more sheet cake in the back) until it worked for us. If you're considering them, be sure to set aside a weekend morning to attend their cake buffets-- they've got some great cake and it's fun to stuff yourself silly with trying all the flavors (chocolate with bailey's filling anyone?)."
Jaqui Shumate PhotographySeattle, WA, USA
"Jaqui was great, and her husband Travis turned out to be an excellent second shooter. Our wedding was captured beautifully through their skill. The one drawback I would add is that some of our "formals" -- the posed family pictures in front of the altar-- were not that great. She seems inexperienced with staging 20-40 people in an altar area, and I would ask her to bring a ladder, and allot more than an hour for these photos if you are doing these pictures indoors so there is no rush to get everyone staged so that no heads are blocked, etc. In looking at other weddings she has shot since then, I'm still amazed by her talent. And she does not seem to have trouble staging large groups of people outside. While outdoor weddings are definitely her forte, our indoor wedding in a dark, old church still resulted in beautiful pictures through Jaqui's skill."
Blessed Sacrament Church5050 8th Ave NE
Seattle, WA 98105
"Not that I think this should play a role in your decision on where to get married, but this is a truly beautiful 100 year old brick Roman Catholic church. The parish is quite traditional-- if you attend on a Sunday, it's not unusual to hear Latin chants--- and it is a Dominican parish so there are several brothers that live there. So, don't expect this church to allow anything in your ceremony that is not "traditionally Catholic." That said, I found that the "traditional Catholic" allowed for a lot of personalization--for example, our processional was a type of processional that is very uncommon (in my experience) but that is totally "ok" by the Church and the liturgy. While the staff is very friendly, approachable, and fun, some of the office staff (not the liturgical staff) seemed disorganized. We also found it very difficult to coordinate between Blessed Sacrament (my church) and another church (my husband's... the priest from that church married us). We were only told about some requirements for marrying in the parish just 3 weeks before our wedding (a compatibility inventory and an introduction to natural family planning class). It was obvious that the mistake in telling us so close to the wedding was in disorganization and lack of coordination between the 2 parishes-- if you were only dealing with Blessed Sacrament this would not be an issue, I'm sure. We also thought the fee for the wedding coordinators made no sense when we dealt more other staff members then her, and yet we both felt that she did not do all that much compared to them. All in all, our experience with Blessed Sacrament was very positive."

"We found Salty's to be very reasonably priced for brunch receptions, because the food was hard to beat and they include everything-- you won't find any fees for cake-cutting or the dance floor, room set-up, anything like that. The staff was easy to work with. Their iPod hook-up was great and we had no issues doing an iPod "dj." And, again, the food was GREAT! We had guests taking pictures of their plates and posting them on facebook with captions like "mmmmm!" and "Best wedding food ever." There is 1 drawback that I would add. While the view for the banquet rooms are gorgeous (overlooking the Seattle skyline) the downside is that the room was not pretty at all-- red carpet, drawings of fish on the walls, lobster mosaics behind the bar and the banquet chairs-- red leather with gold braiding with plastic around the braiding. (Ugh, 80s!) Ok, if you're having a nautical themed event it could work fine... but for me, it was hard to work with. That said-- our guests were well fed with great food, they had a great time, and we didn't have to go into debt to afford it-- and those are the things that mattered to us in choosing our reception venue."
Restuarants on the Ave
"Head to University Avenue ("the Ave") for tasty treats and eclectic shopping."
Gasworks Park
"We took some of our engagement pictures here. Be sure to visit for some great views of the Space Needle! Or start your jog along the Burke-Gilman trail here."
Husky Stadium
"If our wedding was in the fall, there would've been a Husky Football game worked into the wedding weekend festivities. Go DAWGS!"
University of Washington campus
"Home of the Huskies, and where Anonymous and Anonymous earned their degrees."
University Village
"Head here for food and upscale shopping, as well as the QFC grocery store."

The EESC is organising a public hearing on Preventive measures for the protection of children against sexual abuse. The aim of the hearing is to present and disseminate concrete examples of initiatives, campaigns and actions conducted by various international institutions and civil society organisations in this field.
The conclusions of the hearing will feed directly into the work of the study group that drafts the EESC opinion and into a concise compendium of examples of best practice that the EESC intends to publish.
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is currently drawing up an opinion on Preventive measures for the protection of children against sexual abuse. The Committee intends to publish a collection of the responses alongside the opinion to illustrate the activities and good practice carried out in different Member States.
We would like to invite civil society organisations and state agencies that deal with the sexual abuse of children to fill in the questionnaire. Please keep it short and give a website as reference for further reading. You can write your text in any EU language.
We hope that circulating information about activities and experiences in the EU will encourage civil society to take action, build expertise and create new links between stakeholders. Your contribution would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Magnetic properties of NiO nanoparticles (NP) prepared by the sol-gel method in the size range D = 5 nm to 20 nm, with and without oleic acid (OA) coating, are reported. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies show the morphology of the smaller particles to be primarily rod-like, changing over to nearly spherical shapes for D > 10 nm. Average sizes D of NP determined by x-ray diffraction are compared with the results from TEM. Measurements for the magnetization (M) versus temperature T ( 5 K to 350 K) in the zero-field cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) modes are used to determine the average blocking temperature Tp. For the OA coated particles, Tp increases with increase in size D as expected for superparamagnetic particles. However, for the uncoated NP, Tp decreases initially with increase in size D < 10 nm: but for D > 10 nm, Tp follows the same trend as for the coated NP. These differences are interpreted in terms of significant interparticle interaction present (absent) in the uncoated (coated) particles. The data of M vs. the applied field H for T > Tp are fit to the modified Langevin function: M = Mo (upH/kbT) + xaH, to determine the magnetic moment up per particle versus size D. The variation of up with D is interpreted in terms of the fraction of spinds on the surface layer of the particle which contribute to up. It is observed that this fraction varies as 1/D reaching nearly 100% for the 5 nm particles. The Neel temperature Tn decreases rapidly for D < 10 nm.

very nice man... but i dont like the whole atomatic thing... but i still like the mk4 body style better the only thing i like on the newer models are the wheels...
Beautiful. Congratulations.
Why an automatic?
Oh you fancy huh?
How much was that?? That's pretty, love the inside of it.
Very nice! I like it and I LOVE the color! I'd prefer 2 door, but I'm sure you had your reasons for a 4 door!!
Just wish they kept the blue & red from the Mk5 instead of switching to white.
man that car is awesome. the lines, the color, the rims. man i miss my 337.
Just a few more pics... in case people were like me a few weeks ago and desperately trolling the forum for some quality pics of the car in this color
dude when did you get married!?
and that front-end closeup looks like
f**k your mk6 lol .. just gimme the motor in a crate.
OMFG Sexy! Nothing like a new car that is problem free! Yes.... I drive a corrado....
my jealousy has just blown through the roof.
Nice car, but I hate you
nice! i love that color
www.TeamEuroTrash.com/site/clothing also on Facebook!
Thank you for the nice pictures. I am picking up my same model and options Cloud White this Friday in DFW as I have a 300 mile drive to get there to pick it up.
I wanted a 6mt, but only one in Texas and they just didn't want to deal at that dealer. So I settled for the DSG which after driving it I was seriously impressed. Been driving Manuals since 1992 and this will be a change.
Nice car!
Nice buy. I love they way these drive.
Nice ride Dont understand the automatic though....

On again tonight I believe.....?
I just watched the "Emily in charge" episode.
She seemed like a fairly nice person but at the end of the day it's down to the individual if they want to basically say "I've had enough, I'm leaving" the moment things don't pan out the way you hope...
Quocunque Jeceris Stabit.
