The Top 10 reasons to adopt from Second Chance Animal Shelter. 1. NO KILL SHELTER. Irregardless of how long it takes, once rescued by Second Chance the animal stays until adopted. 2. No kill extends until past adoption..if you have to give up an animal adopted from Second Chance it is taken back by the shelter and kept till adopted again.3. If a rescued cat or dog is determined to be in need of more than routine Vet care for an illness or injury, the care is given. 4. The kennels and cat enclosures are cleaned ( litter boxes scooped) and animals are fed at least twice daily. 5. Volunteers and staff play with the animals and record behaviors to be passed on to potential adopters. All potential issues are presented to adopters. 6. All adopted animals are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines appropriate for age, micro-chipped, cleared by a licensed Vet and clean. Animals in need of dental work are held until the dental work is completed and then released to their adopters. Have you priced dental work at your Vet? 7. Potential adopters must complete an application which is reviewed by calls to their Vet to ensure their current animals are spayed and neutered and checking of references prior to approval. No walk in adoptions. 8. The donation to adopt an animal is appropriate to the age and amount of care needed to prepare the animal for adoption and the fact that it is considered a donation is clearly spelled out in the adoption contract and verbally by whomever goes over the contract verbally with the adopter. 8. Their is immediate access to Veterinary care through the Wellness Center in North Brookfield and through active relationships with local Veterinary Clinics. 10. THE CATS and DOGS ARE CUTE!
This is directed to Sweetstuff who gave Second Chance Animal Shelter a poor rating because you decided that the sweet little dog you adopted was too much trouble because he had to go to the bathroom and you were too lazy to clean it up! You then complained because you couldn't get your money back after "returning" the dog.
People like you should not have animals! Your con didn't work! Thank goodness this poor little dog was returned to the good, kind and generous people of Second Chance!

A glamorous complexion doesn't always mean that you spent a lot on skincare—but sometimes quality is worth a splurge. This article is the second of a two-part series exploring the best skincare products at all price points. If you watch what you spend and want to know the best products at drugstore prices, check out Part I.
And why not? Some luxury brands provide more hype than results. But if your budget has wiggle room, high-end products often match their prestigious price point with premium ingredients and supercharged results. So check out these six prestige products that leave your skin prime and pampered—and really work.
This rich, hydrating formula is luxuriously lightweight with a velvety, nearly dewy finish that can be used as a day cream, even for those who are matte-minded. Exceptional as an antiaging treatment to diminish dark spots. $158, us.caudalie.com
Super silky and super moisturizing, this face cream wears like a translucent veil but protects like a goose down winter jacket. Add this formula to the top of your lust list, then apply with the little spoon-like applicator—pinky up! $129, saksfifthavenue.com
The price point would have you under the impression that you're adding a pot-o-gold to your medicine cabinet but this overnight night mask has a reputation for its transformative abilities. The caviar firms and enhances; the celebrities endorse. $300, laprairie.com
Pure, natural argan oil—no fragrance or additives. Argan oil's fatty acid and antioxidant content firms, nourishes dry skin, and helps improve acne. $48, josiemarancosmetics.com
This tinted multitasking champ provides full, velvety coverage and veils discoloration, bumps, and the sun's harmful rays. Wears like foundation as it heals and protects. $60, dior.com
A refreshing and renewing toner that impressively nourishes, improves texture, and helps balance the complexion. Safe for temperamental skin. On the street they coin this little formula as "Miracle Water"—for real. $105, Sephora.com

The Plastic Bag Problem
The plastic bag problem looms larger every day as they litter our environment and kill land animals and endangered marine life.
Blowing down the street, flapping from trees, clogging storm drains (costing municipalities millions of dollars in cleanup costs), and making their way out to sea, plastic bags have been referred to as "urban tumbleweeds" for good reason.

Storytelling is healing. It keeps hope alive and the spirits of our ancestors close. Stories keep record of history -- or otherwise invent it. I am a vault and vessel for those stories that want to be acknowledged.
I see, listen, and record stories that want to be given voice or find a way to be released from their current space. I move the energy of those stories through photography, divination and energetic clearing.
I'm Jacquelyn Tierney, a creative and sacred artist who uses photography and divination to connect with the spirit of person and place.
Since childhood, I have been interested in the unseen, hidden spaces, covert connections, back alleys, history's secrets, personal stories, polarities, severities, quiet magick and what lies on the other side of our waking life here on Earth. With a Sun, Ascendant, Saturn and Pluto placement in the First House/Scorpio, I'm deeply intrigued by transformation, metamorphosis, how we see ourselves, and how we want to be seen.
My portraits are an experience in self-actualization and the reclaiming of voice. They are a visual document of personal journey, message, and march.
My divination work prepares and holds space for others to develop trust and confidence with one's psychic self and deepen the relationship with one's creativity and environment.
In The Good Old Days project I collect and collage people's personal stories on what it means to live "the good old days" as a way to contribute to the collective conversation about how we define "America" and being "American."
Seeing what is, what was, and what could be...
These portraits are the reclaiming of your voice.
These portraits are the campaign of your truths.
These portraits are a testimonial of your resilience.
These portraits are an altar to your spirit.
These portraits,
are You.
In November of 2016, the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, was elected on the campaign promise to make "make American great again," thus, restoring the country to its good old days.
But, what are "the good old days?" And, just who were they good for? Which pieces of our history is this administration promising to restore?
And which pieces are they promising to leave behind? Who are they leaving behind?
The Good Old Days project is a photographic vessel for all the stories that make up our collective history – not just the ones of the winners and the victors, but the ones that sadden, embarrass, and outrage us – the ones that have been silenced and left behind.
It is through these stories that a visual diary of our country's conflicting identities will be composed and exposed.
For almost a decade, I have studied and trained in various forms of cartomancy, energetic clearing, spiritual wellness, and psychic seeing and protection. I currently work with visionaries, artists, and writers in planning for the creative seasons of their year ahead and assist them in clearing space so that their work can be made with consistent focus and more ease. Learn more...
I am committed to providing care, attention, and service to those who often go without it due to the cycle of poverty, through the offering of free Holy Hours sessions each month to those who fall below the poverty line. Holy Hours include intimate soul counsel and magickal workings on one's behalf. Apply here...
To be in touch about a service seen on this site, a possible creative collaboration, or to simply say hello please use the contact form below. I love working with stylists, makers, and other visionaries to tell powerful stories and ask deep questions of our hearts, and I am always looking to interview storytellers to share their creative process with our audience of soulful seekers and artists. Let's build community and make meaningful work together. xo, j

I have a 1987 ford E350 Econoline XL. what is the motor in it?
My 1987 ford E350 XL is a V8 gas automatic with
a holly 4barrel carburetor. That's the most I know
about it. Can anybody tell me what kid of motor it
has in it?
2 Answers
A pic would really help, Ford had 3 V8 versions, 302, 351, 460. In the van only the HO 351 and the 460 came with a 4bbl carb from the factory, but back then you could still put a 4bbl on a 302 and the standard 351.

Over the weekend, I went to my first-ever public pagan ritual. I'd been to a wedding, but never a regular event like this Midsummer celebration before.
It was pretty great, but also…very different. The thing that caught me the most off-guard was how *here* the ritual part was. My own personal rituals are either in astral or straddling the worlds and take place simultaneously on both sides. I've never even given any thought to that. But this was completely grounded in one place and time and people in this world. It was a little jarring to me at first, actually, because it almost made the Gods and spirits feel further away. Greater, more powerful, more "godlike" and strange, yes…but also more inaccessible somehow. It was a completely different experience and aspect of polytheism then I'd known before and so that was really cool and enlightening.
I was a bit nervous going in, though, because it was a heathen blot and…as most of y'all probably know there are a few People in that bunch that I have some pretty negative history with and two I even have something like restraining orders against—with an exception for crossing paths in meetings or rituals either in astral or here. But even though I had mentally prepared myself for every single one of Them I had problems with to be invoked, only one actually was (and it was inevitable; that's the thing with having trouble with Someone so prominent in a pantheon 😛 ). So I felt fortunate about that.
And then most of the evening was just hanging out with everyone, enjoying mead and beer and food potluck-style and just having…fellowship (it seems really weird to use that word outside Christianity, but it's the only one I have). I really didn't expect to find that kind of feeling it again and it helped to restore some of my hope and faith in people and in pagan/polytheist community that I'd lost in the last year and a half or so.
So much fun…and I'm going to try to go to the next one, too. 😀

The Support Co-ordinator maintains an on-going liaison with Community Health Services, home care

Sorry today's post is a little late today. It's been one interestingly happy Friday :D I hope all of you had a great week. Is it me or did this week just fly by! I'm looking forward to spending some quality with the hubs.
If you read the title of this post you may think I've lost my mind but no worries I lost it several years ago :D Hahahaha! I incorporated the theme of the 31 Day Challenge (Glitter) and the theme of Crumpet's Nail Tarts (Fruit Salad). Hope you like it :D
I love how this manicure came together. Here's the basics of how to get this look...
Limes - Base of Orly Dayglow, Stamped with Sinful Colors Envy and BM-308. I added Sally Hansen Lime Lights for a holo shimmer top coat.
Cherries - Base of Orly Dayglow and China Glaze Fairy Dust. I used a dotting tool and China Glaze Ruby Pumps to dot on the cherries. I used a no name green nail art paint for the stems and Dayglow again for the highlight dots.
Apple - Base of Sinful Colors Social Climber. The apple was created using a thin layer of China Glaze Salsa and a thin coat of China Glaze Ruby Pumps. The stem was created with Sinful Colors Mahogany Magic and the no name green nail art paint for the accent leaf. Orly Dayglow for the "shine".
Watermelon - Base of China Glaze 108 Degrees and China Glaze Watermelon Rind. For the accent in the rind I used Sally Girl Mint and a Kiss Nail Art Paint White. The seeds were created using Orly Liquid Vinyl and a dotting tool.
After creating this mani, I had to run out and get a bunch of fruit :)
So what big plans do you have this weekend??
Thanks for stopping by...until next time!!!
Make sure you check out the lovely ladies from the 31 Day Challenge and CNT to see what their creative minds produced :)

Rising health information technology (HIT) adoption and the increasing interoperability of health data have propelled the role of IT in community-wide health transformations. Disseminating the challenges and opportunities that the early adopters of community-wide HIT interventions have experienced is critical for empowering the growing demand for community-based health systems. This special issue of eGEMs addresses that need. This issue includes a variety of community-based HIT projects covering topics such as governance, informatics, and learning health systems. These projects represent a diverse set of stakeholders, a wide selection of data sources, and multiple information platforms to collate or exchange data. We hope that this special issue of eGEMs will be the first of several future issues dedicated to community-wide HIT transformations.

How to find mean residence time from velocity contours?
Hi Guys,
I have modelled the flow of 3 phases in a reactor using the euler-euler model.
I have carried out transient modelling and activated the statistics tab to obtain the mean velocity magnitude contours for the simulated time.
What I would like to know is if there's any way of obtaining the mean residence time in the reactor using the mean velocity magnitude or is there some other method to determine it?
Any input would be highly appreciated,

St. Petersburg, FL – December 1, 2016. – Ident-A-Kid's CCSS Visitor Management System has been recognized for making a positive difference in education by K12 leaders who named it to District Administration magazine's "Readers' Choice Top 100 Product for 2016."read more
KENNEBUNK, ME- Three years after installing Ident-A-Kid's Visitor Management Software, Principal Ryan Quinn of Kennebunk Elementary said "It's great for screening delivery men, people who don't come on regular basis and people we don't know." Quinn also went on to say it's better to be prepared in case of anything. He wanted to be proactive with school security and know who's in the building at all times. Read full article...read more
Florence, S.C.- School officials at South Florence High learned about Ident-A-Kid's visitor management software last year during a pilot study. This year they decided to continue the program to ensure the safety of students and faculty members. Gloria McFadden, Visitor Manager, said many parents are familiar with the pilot program from last year and like the new safety precaution. The school now scans visitors' ID for a background check and takes a picture for the visitors pass. Principal Carol Hill said programs like this show how serious the school and district take student safety. Read full article here....read more
KENNEBUNK- Kennebunk Elementary School is implementing technology, a campus security system called Ident-A-Kid Visitor Management. Kennebunk Elementary School Principal Ryan Quinn said "It's a formalized check-in security system that we're piloting for the district this year." The cost of the new security device is just under $1,000. Once the visitor's picture is taken and they are given the go ahead, a visitor's pass will be printed on the spot and the doors will be unlocked. "It'll will give us just a few second more to size people up; it really is about reducing the risk," said Quinn, who worked with the system during his tenure as principal at school in New...read more
Ident-A-Kid's Complete Campus Security Solution (CCSS) Visitor Management System has been officially adopted throughout Onslow County Schools. All 38 schools are able to track all visitors entering their campuses. Utilizing CCSS's self-service kiosk, visitors first produce their driver's license for positive ID and then utilize the touch screen to enter their reason for visiting and destination. The system performs a Sexual Offender Check (SOC) against the National Sexual Offender Registry; and then for cleared visitors, prints a badge with the visitor's name, photo, date/time and destination. "Thanks to Ident-a-kid, we were able to catch someone on campus. We hope this makes our parents feel more comfortable sending their kids to knowing we have a system like this. It is just one more level of security we have in place," states Director of Safety and Security, Dusty Rhodes. View full article...read more
Visitor check-in at Kalispell's five public elementary schools has gone digital, upping the level of security. Gone are paper sign-in sheets. Visitors and volunteers now check in at new digital stations that feature touch-screen monitors, card scanners and label printers. The stations were installed over winter break and started being used in January at a cost of approximately $4,800 from technology funds. Cameras also were installed at each elementary, which administrators can access by cellphone. To check into the new system, a visitor scans his or her license. Information collected from the license includes first and last name, birthdate and state of residence. If a visitor does not have a license, he or she will be prompted to type in the information. A photo of the visitor will be then be taken. An adhesive visitor or volunteer badge will print featuring the person's photo, full name and date and time of checking in. A code also appears in the left corner above the date. When it comes to checking out, the visitor types in the code to complete the process. View full article...read more

We, as with everyone in the community and television industry, are deeply saddened by this unspeakable and heinous crime. Our thoughts and prayers go our to the colleagues and families of these innocent victims. We are so thankful our visitor management system could help secure the schools during this time. Some Bedford County schools went into an initial lockdown after the division received notice at about 7:25 a.m. of the shooting at Bridgewater Plaza, according to schools spokesman Ryan Edwards. For Melanie Simmons, the principal of Moneta Elementary, which was the nearest school to the plaza where the shooting occurred it was a day of continuous vigilance. "I tell parents … that they send me their kids every day and my No. 1 job is to send them home safely every day, and today was definitely one of those days," she said. Read full article...read more

While May is known for Cinco de Mayo, The Kentucky Derby, Mother's Day and Memorial Day, there is a lesser known, but significant day – National Missing Children's Day. Since 1983, our Nation has observed May 25th as National Missing Children's Day. First proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan and observed by every administration since; May 25th is the anniversary of the day in 1979 when 6-year-old Etan Patz (pictured above) disappeared from a New York street, while on his two block walk to his bus stop. "National Missing Children's Day is a reminder to all parents and guardians of the need for high-quality photographs and accurate descriptions of their children for use in case of an emergency, and for the need for everyone to pay close attention to the posters and photographs of missing children," says the National Center for Missing and Exploited...read more

Hoops, there it is! In Utah, absolutely; for the rest of the nation, not really. I guess the fans of other schools can't get Air Lavell, or is it Chow now, out of their minds. With that, I leave you this week's BluNotes ...
DJ: Wishful thinking comes in all shapes and sizes. North Carolinas Deep Run must be further east than I realized with this gem.
Deep Run "Let's talk about Norm Chow" ----------------------------------
BWSmith......yes, he is Mormon, as am I.
His son and I served missions at the same time in Japan. While in Raleigh his family remained in Utah and he lived in the Brownstone Hotel on Hillsborough Street. He is a very nice guy and one that would be great for any program. However, he is a west coast guy. One concern he had was moving his family out here to the east because they have such strong family ties in the west. I would not be surprised if he does not end up at BYU after their current head coach is fired. If they continue losing then he could be out of a job real soon. I seriously doubt that he would come back to the east coast.
DJ: Two things Deep that will make that impossible: 1. Chow has a chip on his shoulder the size of the Wasatch Front when it comes to BYU. He is still feeling spurned by the BYU admin. 2. Chow isn't a head coach. He likes it where he is. Being OC has its advantages for someone who isn't willing to put their heads on the chopping block. You see BYU was at that time a place where careers were made. I mean where else could you go that offered an admin job at the worst if you couldn't cut it on the field. Nah, my friend, Chow is both too bitter and too satisfied to move back to Provo.
DJ: Why can't fans just give this a rest? One would think that Myopia is a requirement to be the fan of a BCS mythical championship team or at least a contender that cannot even wins its conference. Oklahoma Sooners fan Boomer 69 just can't seem to leave the Switzer era...
I always say it - without the BCS, you have 1984 and BYU who wasn't even Top-10 material yet were voted National Champion just "because they beat everyone on their schedule." Yeah, right...13-0; beat only four teams with winning records, the best of which was 8-4 (WOW!!) and beat Michigan in the Holiday Bowl. Michigan you say? WOW again. No, Michigan finished 6-6 and was another of those nine non-winners BYU beat. What a joke, but it is what the single, purely "human" poll gives you since the coaches don't have the time (or cajones) to go against one of their own. And the writers - they only remember what happened this week, and vote for their closest area code team.
DJ: Okay, so Oklahoma this year plays 6 teams with losing records and 8 with winning of which 2 resulted in losses by the Sooners. So the Sooners only beat 6 teams with winning records this past season. Where am I going with this? Well maybe if you understood that without the BCS, bowls could pick and choose who they want coming and not have it dictated to them. Also there is a little thing called a playoff, which seems to have escaped the minds of both the BCS cronies as well as the NCAA. Oh yeah I know The University of Oklahoma President and AD wouldn't want a playoff since it would have a negative affect on the academic possibilities offered during the month of December at that fine institution in Norman. Well as Irony would have it, the entire Ivy League participates in a collegiate football playoff every year. I don't see school Presidents and AD's at Harvard, Yale and Princeton et al complaining about lost quality academic time. Hmmm maybe since they recruit players to represent the school instead of paying players to suit up for a farm club.
DJ: I really don't know what all the fuss over Norm Chow is? Does BYU really suffer because Norm wasn't the glove in hand choice to run the program after Lavell finally retired? Maybe, but contrary to popular belief, Chow isn't the only quality coach out there. Wake Forest fan vandalrama wants to continue to propagate a myth:
Vandalrama "Best offensive coordinator
Correction: Norm Chow left BYU when he wasn't given the head coaching job. That was a decision that has and will haunt BYU for a long time".
DJ: You are correct, Vandal, Norm Chow wasn't given the head-coaching job. Regardless of how both he and the media try creating controversy over the BYU administrations lack of Asian sensitivity, Chow wasn't the right man for the job. Events bear this out. In the conference formally known as the WAC, the competition due to its familiarity had begun during the nineties to figure out Norm and his offensive strategy. Lavell Edwards' final years at BYU were less than stellar, and Norm Chows had long failed to strike fear into opposing defenses. The writing was on the wall, and it was time for a fresh start. Norm Chow could not provide that fresh start. His success and NC State and now most recently at USC has shown what lack of familiarity can accomplish. When the Pac-10 opponents begin to recognize Chow's offense, his star will again begin to wane on the horizon.
One of the tenets of being Head Coach is keeping abreast of developments within your own sport. It is a major responsibility and requires adaptability. If Chow is truly head coaching material, than he would have been sparked by the challenge years ago when he was receiving offers from many different universities to come and lead their teams. Even now, he sticks to his "I am discriminated against rhetoric" when referring to why he didn't get the BYU job, but when his name appears on the shortlists of Nebraska and Arizona among others, he suddenly reverts back to how much he likes USC and prefers to coordinate. Can't have it both ways, but one thing is for sure, whether Crowton is the answer to BYU's football program or not, it is hard to believe that fans and administration are losing any sleep over the fact that Norm is in Pasadena.
DJ: Well, it is funny how things can change. I guess that most of us although aware fail to keep the cyclical nature of things in the forefront of our minds. Many accuse BYU of living on the memories of past Cougar football heroics such as the 84 National Championship, defeating number 1 Miami in Provo and even the Miracle Bowl. Well suffice it to say, here is one Texas A&M fan that now understands what we Cougar fans have known for quite some time:
AgontheDL "No game, how about a memory"
Since we have no bowl to attend, I thought that it would be fun for everyone to share his or her favorite FTA bowl trip/game.
One of my favorites was our 1990, 65-14 Holiday Bowl win over Brigham Young in San Diego. The TMF put us up at a wonderful hotel. BTW, the BYU football team was housed there also. All week we heard how they wished for a tougher opponent. Other than their mouths, the trip was great. My favorite memory of the game was Bucky Richardson's touchdown reception from Darren Lewis. All the Ags cracked up. BYU had long since cratered. It was a wonderful trip. Will you share your favorite? "
DJ: Well Agon, there is nothing like finding a piece of dinner caught in your teeth. I guess that morsel of a 1990 shellacking can go a long way. Careful though, if the Aggies cannot bounce back to old glory within two years, you may need to keep that morsel and stretch it as far as you can to get you through those lean years.
DJ: The owner of the quote "I want to win by 9 and not 2" needs no introduction. This statement alone has a half-life that favorably compares to Uranium. Of course, the media did their best to botch the conditions behind such a statement and looking back on the results, I have a hard time with the idea that sitting on a 2 point lead with over 4 minutes remaining in the game is the way to play football. One Texas Tech fan actually goes to bat for Gary as ESPN bobble head Craig James of SMU fame broached this subject. I guess Craig has forgotten what can happen when a team decides to sit on a lead with 4 minutes remaining in the game:
FortKnight "Re: ESPN way too up tight"
Ask Craig James if he wishes that SMU had run up the score a little more against BYU in the Holiday Bowl before BYU made a miracle comeback to win, including a last second hail mary by (I think) Jim McMahon. "
DJ: Ask Craig James if he is limited to reading queue cards, or can he actually think about what he and his cohorts say on ESPN about college football. I guess that SMU education did him a world of good. Hmmm, which college was it that received the NCAA death penalty? Hmmmm, I wonder if academics were an issue back then.
DJ: One would think that after the fiasco that is the BCS laid a major egg this year, that people would stop and reflect that the term "Mythical National Championship" applies to every national champion of Div IA football since a NC was declared. Of course some people like this Hurricane fan like to walk around with myopia brand shades:
ShilohCane " Re: Old system, BCS or playoffs?"
The BCS. The old system in 1984 let BYU win a MNC playing a 6-6 Michigan in the Holiday Bowl. BYU only played 4 teams that year with a winning record and the best was 8-4 Air Force.
Does this look like a team that should be the MNC in 1984?
9/1 @ Pittsburgh (3-7-1) W 20-14 9/8 vs. Baylor (5-6) W 47-13 9/15 vs. Tulsa (6-5) W 38-15 9/22 @ *Hawaii (7-4) W 18-13 10/6 @ *Colorado State (3-8) W 52-9 10/13 vs. *Wyoming (6-6) W 41-38 10/20 @ *Air Force (8-4) W 30-25 10/25 @ *New Mexico (4-8) W 48-0 11/3 vs. *Texas-El Paso (2-9) W 42-9 11/10 vs. *San Diego State (4-7-1) W 34-3 11/17 @ *Utah (6-5-1) W 24-14 11/24 vs. Utah State (1-10) W 38-13 12/21 vs. Michigan (6-6) W 24-17 @ San Diego, CA Holiday Bowl
The Old system didn't work. I want a Playoff, but what we have now in the BCS is better than the old system."
DJ: The old system would have kept BYU in the Holiday bowl with better competition. The old system would have made the 1996 Holiday bowl a major barn burner, as many of the top programs were itching to play No. 5 BYU to knock them down. Of course, the Cougars at least were granted Cotton Bowl status and spanked a top KSU team. The Old system would not have put a Big XII team that did not win their conference in the premier bowl that the Big XII would have represented. There were flaws in the old system only in that the Bowls superceded any idea of a real playoff. Fans want a Playoff, the players want a playoff, and so what is the big issue here? Am I missing something? As far as your logic is concerned Shiloh, USC, LSU and Oklahoma played 6 teams on their schedules with losing records, and some of them were really bad, as in 1-11 or 2-10 bad. The rankings no longer reflect what they used to as they are unfortunately tied to the BCS. This year, the media decided to speak out as their poll reflected the public sentiment that USC in all likelihood was the national champion. I guess even hack journalists have their limitations as to what is acceptable.
DJ: Well you know things are slow in South Bend when Notre Dame fans speculate on the expansion plans of the Mountain West conference, although I guess I can understand it a little since Notre Dame as been given a carte blanche "keep your NBC revenues" invitation to the Big East in football. Yes I can imagine the sweat on Trangheses forehead as he passes the BCS mantle over to the Big XII commissioner. This particular Irish fan seems to be in the know regardless:
javajive "Re: Boise St. building a tradition"
The word in western media I check indicate that TCU and Boise State are the leading candidates to add BCS muscle to the Mountain West Conference. If they go to 9, it's likely TCU. If ten its likely TCU/Boise (although Hawaii has the best WAC attendance stats). There are rumors on some boards that an announcement may coincide with the TCU/Boise bowl game, and there are other rumors that state that Thompson, the MWC commish, will make the announcement in January...
Boise does have an edge with the original MWC "gang of five", since Idaho has a 40% Mormon population that likes to travel and visit the relatives at BYU and Utah, and those two schools always lock votes with AirForce, Wyoming, and Colorado State. It takes 6 MWC votes to add a school."
DJ: Well, Jive you are correct that the top two in any MWC expansion plans are TCU and Boise State. It is my humble opinion that both schools should be taken in as soon as possible. The MWC has waited patiently on the sidelines as expansion and conference piracy took its toll on the weaker conferences. Now is the time to pounce and add the two teams above. Not only will the competition be a good shot in the arm for the conference, but also both schools bring with them two bowl games. BSU's bowl game is within 12 hours driving distance for the fans of seven conference members. The Fort Worth Bowl although on the far side makes up for distance by being one, in a much warmer area than Memphis that time of year, and two being in the middle of the metroplex, which is a huge television market. I am confident that the wisdom in economics of inviting these two schools will bear out regardless of whether the MWC gets invited to the BCS party or not.
DJ: Sooner fans are my favorite targets. I don't know why, but I guess it has to do with having reminders of Barry Switzer's angry mug on the television day in and day out as the unthinkable happened. BYU became national champions. In any case, I caught some Sooner smack against a USC fan so this is a real gem. I hope this fan saw the humor in the events that followed his little tirade:
ou2020 "Re: You are going to get your arse handed to you today"
Tell me this is not coming from a fan of the Pac-10. There is no competition in that weak stick conference (i.e. YOUR trojans being left out of the BCS). The main reason for the BCS is for pretenders like you to be exposed and not waltz through an easy schedule and win a national championship that you do not deserve. The BCS was implemented so a BYU in 1984 or USC in 2004 would not win a championship when they are not the best team in the country. Michigan will prove that!"
DJ: Can you really keep a straight face after reading that? It sure is difficult. ou2020, your hindsight better be as sharp as your namesake, because Michigan couldn't prove anything in 1984 and they couldn't prove it twenty years later. The BCS must have been implemented for another reason since it has failed to prevent anything except mass confusion and fan and player ire. Maybe if we had a playoff huh? Think that would work. Well, 2020, you might want to put your glasses on so you can better see the egg on your face.
DJ: The talk of BYU getting picked up by the Pac-10 seems to never want to die. Well, there is always something you can count on when broaching this topic. One, there will always be a contingent of Cougar fans who believe that football Nirvana can be obtained if BYU were only in the Pac-10, and two that reactionary bigoted comments from fans of Pac-10 schools rear their ugly head. I don't know what they are teaching in the PAC10 these days, but I do know the Timothy Leary age died a long time ago. I wish somebody had told this Bruin fan:
CLassof1973 "Re: BYU #64 ranking"
Well...sorry, but a sectarian school which teaches that good people go to other planets when they die (as long as they were married), and that Native Americans are descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel, is not respectable, IMHO. I won't comment on ND, BC or Catholic teachings here, though.
Furthermore, I wonder if BYU's relatively "high" ranking in USN&WR is helped by the unregenerate Republicanism of that shoddy publication/apologist for capitalist crime."
DJ: Wow! What do you say to that? A religious school that teaches that good people go to other planets when they die? Sounds cool. Where do I sign up? Is there some special ceremony involved, or do I just tap the communicator on my right breast pocket and request to get beamed aboard the spirit ship Enterprise. Maybe we should all just sit in a circle listening to tribal music while consuming Psilocybins? Class of 1973, please take off your sandals and stay awhile. You might learn that BYU is ranked rather high due to the administration striving to attain levels of excellence. The word is out that BYU grads seem to have a lot to offer. Of course it is difficult to see with all that bud smoke blocking your vision. I am glad you decided not to comment on Catholicism, since you wouldn't want to botch two attempts to ridicule with reason. By the way, I sure hope they have a Dish Network or Cable on Kolob; otherwise I wouldn't be able to get my weekly BYU sports fix and that my friend would be a capitalist crime.
DJ: On the recruiting front, Crowton has quickly reached legendary status on the quality of recent Cougar classes. Well not only does the recruiting seem to be going well, but unexpected gifts in transfer players keep showing up at opportune times. Another Cougar fan from Washington State chimes in regarding a future BYU linebacker:
pacrat "Wagner is a Mormon" ----------------------------------
I think he feels he is going where he truly belongs. Can't knock that. It bums me out cause he is a bad ass with a chip on his shoulder. Oh well, best of luck to him. "
DJ: Pacrat, trust me when I say that BYU fans all over are excited to have Wagner. Yes he will, as an LDS football player, feel more at home in Provo and that is a good thing. Well, here's to Wagner's chip is directed at opposing offenses in 2005.
DJ: BYU basketball has hit a bump in the road toward a conference championship. Let us hope that coach Cleveland can get the team back on course. Well, Cougars fans knew that Araujo was special when he came to BYU last year, and now that recognition is spreading. UNC fans know their hoops, and this one is no exception:
Maverickcowboy25 "Re: How good is your bb team?"
Don't be surprised when the Center from BYU goes first round.
DJ: Yeah, kind of like Cougars in the NCAA tourney. I wouldn't be surprised to see BYU go in the first round. Badda Boom, badda Bing. Sorry, that was too easy.
DJ: Well if there is one tough place to play, that is in ACC country, but laying an egg is still laying an egg regardless of which venue. BYU had a chance to compete, but were stuck on Mormon standard time. Well I guess MWC proponents are walking Tobacco Road these days with their hats hanging down over their faces:
ChandlerHeel "Re: Which team do you want UNC to start a series with?"
BYU (So I can stop hearing my friend whine about the Mountain West being underrated, although BYU is pretty decent this year.) "
DJ: Chandler, while a series with BYU would be great, I am sure in your mind the sudden lack of whining in your ear is much better. BYU is pretty good; they just forgot that for some reason. Thank goodness the season is long and we have plenty of basketball ahead. As far as the underrated MWC, all I can say is OUCH!
Well, that is all for this installment of BluNotes. I had a few basketball quotes in the queue to run, but BYU's embarrassing no-show in Raleigh combined with the grotesque handling of a one point lead in San Diego have made these interesting remarks only painful to read.

Re: Entry level headshot lens
In reply to thebasharjobs • Oct 1, 2013
I assume you're on dx body. nikkor 105mm 2.5 ai or ais is entry level lens for price, but top level performance lens for headshots. However on crop body it can be bit too long for general portrait photography.
If your camera body can AF with screw driven lenses - in my experience 35-70 2.8 AF-D is best solution for portraiture combined with crop sensor, even though it was designed for completely different purpose - as normal zoom on film bodies. This lens renders women skin simply amazing.
I never used 85mm 1.8g, but from what I saw, it could be excellent for your intended use.

text: I had always been under the impression that a sealed box would reduce the cone excursion as opposed to a vented one. Is PE correct in saying that the vented enclosure is the one that reduces cone excursion? If they are correct, wouldn't a driver in a ported enclosure have less distortion, be more controlled and handle more wattage than if it was in a sealed enclosure? (I thought the cone would move more in a vented enclosure due to some of the air coming out through the port.) I'm confused because from what i've read, the driver would be more controlled and handle more wattage in a sealed enclosure. BTW, I'm assuming that cone excursion = the cone's movement in and out, so the less or the shorter the movement of the cone, the less distortion and the more controlled the sub will sound. thanks.

What Really Is At The Bottom Of Our Lakes - 566 words
What Really is at the Bottom of our Lakes In the article Sludge William Ashworth points out that with the success of economic growth, the cost is often the environment. This is most evident in our lakes and rivers, which have served as a dumping ground whether we realized it or not. This has caused environmental problems, health problems, and toxins we can not dispose of properly.9 Ashworth has many different cases in which to support this article. The citizens of Waukegan, Illinois, for example wanted to have a port built for their harbor, so that businesses would come and their town could grow. The peoples request was granted, and as hoped, new business flocked to this new port. Among thes ...

Motives For Exploration - 816 words
Until the late 1400's, Europeans did not know the existence of the two American continents ( North and South America ). To the European explorers, exploring the other side of the Atlantic was like exploring an entire different world, hence the name- the New World. In 1492, Christopher Columbus unknowingly discovered the new continent. His original motives for exploring was to find an easier route to Asia but instead, he discovered the New World. Thus; Spain, France and England began sending out conquistadors and explorers to the uncharted terrains of the new continent. Motives for the Spanish, French, and English explorers varied greatly, however, they were similar in some ways. The motives ...

Crop Production - 879 words
Beginning about 12,000 years ago, the human population began a trend that completely changed the way we, as a race, evolved. For the first time in history, humans pushed beyond the restraints of traditional hunting and gathering, into domestication and farming. It was a change that would not only take thousands of years to prove worthy, but also may have set us back on the evolutionary path at the time. Along the path to this point, we have been constantly changing and finding new ways to produce and maximize the yield of the crops we sow. Have these changes been successful or detrimental to us? The following will search into answering this question. Since the beginning, increased crop produ ...

Ice Age Extinctions Of The Megafauna - 1,635 words
ICE AGE EXTINCTIONS OF THE MEGAFAUNA During the last Ice Age before humans arrived, the North American continent belonged to various forms of enormous, fantastic creatures. By the end of the Ice Age, most of these large animals had become extinct. Numerous attempts have been made to explain the disappearance of these animals, but there has yet to be a consensus. Among the theories that have been debated, two are predominant. They are the climatic change theory, and the overkill theory. The climatic change theory advocates the idea that the global warming, which brought about the end of the Ice Age, caused the animals to die off. The other is the overkill theory, which maintains that humans, ...

Analysis Of Albert Bierdstats Among The Sierra Nevada Mountains In California - 983 words
Albert Bierstadts Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California is a scenic canvas oil painting on display at the National Museum of American Art in Washington, DC. Created in 1868, this enormous painting is approximately six by ten feet in size (Honour and Fleming, 2000). The subject matter of this piece is typical of Bierstadt, who is known for his detailed landscapes, especially those of the Rockies and Sierras of the American West. Collectively, Alberts works are manipulated and slightly idealized scenes based on actual places he visited. Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902) was born in Germany and at the age of two, he moved with his parents to Massachusetts. In his early twenties, he studied ...

Many of Hawthorne's stories were written on the basis of his life occurrences and what he believed and also what he wanted his readers to believe. Also, almost every single one of Hawthorne's characters in each of his short stories are faced with a choice in which they most choose between either doing something in which that is right, or doing something of which that is wrong, and there are consequences that follow either decision.

Soil erosion is a gradual process that occurs when the actions of water, wind, and other factors eat away and wear down the land, causing the soil to deteriorate or disappear completely. Soil deterioration and low quality of water due to erosion and run off has often become a severe problem around the world. Many times the problems become so severe that the land can no longer be cultivated and is abandoned. The key to minimizing soil erosion and saving the farm lands is the farmer himself. Ultimately, he is the one who must reduce the level at which erosion sediments are dislodged from his cropland.

Please give a generous round of applause to Kristi Cook, author of the upcoming YA novel Haven which is definitely high up on my 'must read' list of 2011! I'm sure a lot of you already know all about the book, but for those who haven't caught on yet, you should stick around and find out! Major thanks goes to Kristi, of course, for agreeing to take part!
Q: Your upcoming book, 'Haven', features a student body (and faculty!) charged with psychic powers. If you found yourself at Winterhaven, what would be your ability? And how would you use this ability for good (or evil)?
Definitely astral projection! I've been obsessed with the concept since I read Lois Duncan's Stranger with My Face back when I was 12 or so. I'm not sure exactly what I'd use it *for* (good—definitely good!) but I just think it would be really, really cool to temporarily "leave my body" and travel anywhere I wanted.
Q: For those who haven't yet heard of 'Haven', give us a quick 101 on the story and its characters, as well as why readers should put this on their wishlist right now.
At the heart of Haven is the Winterhaven School, an elite boarding school in New York's Hudson Valley. Everyone there—every teacher, every student—has psychic abilities, and it's a place where they can be themselves without feeling like a "freak."
Violet McKenna's gift is visions of future—usually bad things happening to people that she cares about, and she's basically been hiding her gift all her life. She transfers to Winterhaven during her junior year, hoping to fit in, and she does. Almost immediately she has a close circle of friends, and she catches the eye of the very mysterious, very *hot* Aidan Gray. Only problem is, once they start getting close, she starts having visions of his death—and in her visions, she's the one killing him. Yeah, definitely a problem.
Q: Can you tell us the significance of the blue butterfly on the cover? Or is that a closely guarded secret to do with leading man Aidan's abilities?
Nope, no secret! The butterfly represents Violet, and her "transformation" once she comes to Winterhaven.
Q: What was your favourite Young Adult read in 2010? What are some titles you're looking forward to in 2011?
Well, I loved Mockingjay— it didn't disappoint. It was very emotional—I think I was in a funk for a full week after reading it! But I thought the ending was appropriate to the story and the characters. My other favorite read in 2010 was probably Anna and the French Kiss, completely on the opposite end of the spectrum! It was just so…fun! And so romantic. Etienne St. Clair was totally swoon-worthy, and I don't remember the last time I had such a good time reading a book.
There are SO many great books coming out in 2011! I've already been lucky enough to read ARCs of many of them (I work part-time at a wonderful independent kids' bookstore—ARCs are a definite perk of the job!). I really, *really* loved both Veronica Roth's Divergent and Amy Plum's Die For Me.
Q: How important do you think it is to interact with your readers and be a part of the online book community? Are there any particular highlights or downsides you'd like to shed some light on?
I think the best part of my "job" is interacting with readers and being a part of the online community! I mean, I'm a writer, but I'm also a voracious reader—I could talk books all day! I have met so many amazing people through Twitter and the YA blog community, and I do think it's important for authors to be a part of that—but only if they're comfortable with it.
The only downside is that I worry that bloggers/reviewers feel "weird" interacting with me if they didn't enjoy my book. And they shouldn't! Reading is entirely subjective, and I don't expect everyone to love—or even like!—Haven. I just don't want anyone feeling badly about that, just because they've chatted with me on Twitter!
Q: And finally, after the release of 'Haven', what will you be working on next?
I'm working on the sequel to Haven—and it's great to be back at Winterhaven, spending time with my characters again!

What is epidemiology?
In public health we don't just wait for things to go wrong. We focus on preparation by trying to prevent and anticipate public health problems. Epidemiology is at the core of that as it is a branch of medicine that in which those who practice deal with incidence and prevalence of disease in populations. Incidence is the number of new cases in a given time period (this varies by condition) and prevalence is the total number of cases. Epidemiologists try to detect and contain outbreaks and epidemics of disease through a number of methods.
Detection and management of disease outbreaks requires coordination from local agencies and hospitals. In Texas there are a number of conditions that are mandated by law to be reported to local public health. The list of notifiable conditions can be found on the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) website and downloaded for reference.
In addition to monitoring reports of disease as they are submitted epidemiologists also work with preparedness staff to develop plans for the response to public health events such as natural disasters and bioterrorism.
If medical providers need to report any notifiable condition please remember to fax all information about the condition to our confidential Epidemiology fax line.
