Spinner Nathan Lyon was retained in the side announced by skipper Michael Clarke on Thursday, with Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc and Ben Hilfenhaus making up the pace bowling unit for the match.Australia have dropped Mitchell Johnson for the first check against Sri Lanka and chosen seamers for the match on what is expected to be a lively wicket at the Bellerive Oval this week as the tourists are without Lasith Malinga.Such has been Australia's record in head-to-head contests that it is virtually impossible to expect Sri Lanka to pose a serious challenge in the three-Test series beginning in Hobart. Although Sri Lanka lost both Tests on their last tour of Australia in 2007-08, they put up a serious fight in the second Check before going down by 96 runs. Australia have been the only team to regularly win in Sri Lanka – in their last series in Sri Lanka, Australia won 3-0 and 1-0.
Following the retirement of top players, Australia have had to work much harder for their success but are still a force to think with at home, Since 2007, they have lost home series (two times to South Africa and one time against England) but have a 11-1 record at home against major subcontinent teams (excludes Bangladesh). Left-armer Johnson, the 2009 ICC Cricket player of the Year, played his first Check in a year in the 309-run defeat to South Africa in Perth last week but was named 12th man for the Hobart check, which begins on Friday.

Tides in Earth's crust trigger small, deep quakes
Study of one portion of the San Andreas fault finds that just a little added stress makes a quake more likely
The subtle changes in stress caused by tides in Earth's crust can trigger small, deep quakes along a seismically active portion of California's San Andreas fault, a new analysis suggests.
The same forces of attraction that cause ocean tides also cause tides in Earth's rocks, says Amanda Thomas, a seismologist at the University of California, Berkeley. And although the continual variations in rock stress associated with those tides are minuscule, they apparently are big enough to trigger small tremors along some faults, Thomas and Berkeley colleagues Robert M. Nadeau and Roland Bürgmann report in the Dec. 24/31 Nature.

Steven Taylor was interviewed on Sky Sports tonight after the 0-0 draw with Metalist Kharkiv, and two good goals by Papiss Cisse were disallowed by the officials – and Steven has said the players are absolutely gutted after the draw.
Steven Taylor – Newcastle are absolutely gutted
This is what an emotional Steven Taylor said immediately after the game:
"We're absolutely gutted," Taylor said after the goalless draw." "The gaffer has just made the point to us that we should be 2-0 ahead. We had those two goals chalked off; we're disappointed with that."
"It was one of our best performances in a while. Everything the gaffer asked of us we did, we just didn't win." "Tonight showed we have goals in us," he said. "We can go there with more confidence than them. We will hope to pose them more problems."
There were some good things to take away from the game, including another good display by Moussa Sissoko and a very solid first start for Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa at right back.
Yohan Cabaye is still hopeful of getting through and of course a score draw would see Newcastle qualify for the next round when we play the away leg next Thursday night.
This is what Yohan had to say:
"It was a tough game. The important things is we haven't conceded a goal." "If we are doing the right thing away from home, we score, then they have to score two."
"That's the main thing from tonight."
It was certainly a disappointing result tonight – but a good performance against Metalist Kharkiv – who looked a very well organized side on tonight's showing.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/I fucked your mother (Re-write)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit I fucked your mother
I've really revamped this while trying to keep the original style and concept. Corrected alot of grammar errors, rewritten alot of stuff that wasn't working and just bad written english text (that was a joke). I've toned down the long winded sentences so hopefully I've got it up to VFH standard. Hope you enjoy reviewing.—The preceding signed comment was added by Projectmayhem666 (talk • contribs). 13:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
|That was actually pretty good. It's somewhat of a one-trick pony, what with the constant swearing and use of slang. Still, I was amused at the concept, and you executed it better than the title of the article would expect you too.
|A C for originality. Don't get me wrong, you did a decent job of executing the concept, but the concept itself has been used a thousand times, if only terribly.
|Prose and formatting:
|The weakest part of the article. The paragraphs laying on top of each other and the grammatical problems turned me off a bit. Even if it was part of the joke, it can only go to a certain extent. Translate your article from Engrish to English, make the execution a bit smoother, and it should be a hell of a lot better.
|Not much can be said about these, but the captions are alright. Still, it could be much better with some photoshopped images here and there.
|Final Score:
|With such an overused concept, i'm surprised this article didn't suck beyond belief. With a spell check, a format revision, and a few more humo(u)rous images, this could probably be VFH material.

3455 kr+
The fact that it is connected to the Dubai Mall is a great Plus.. The hotel is very new hence the staff managing the hotel had little exerience on how to deal with guests, and many of them didn't speak neither English nor the local language (Arabic) fluently. The furniture was custome made and was low on finishing quality. The connecting corridor between the hotel and the mall wasn't finished, and we had to walk through the hot/humid indoor parking to get to the mall while the decoration workers were finishing the corridor. The hotel had no taxis waiting at the entrance like other respectable hotels, we had to wait 25 minutes to get a taxi. Taxi drivers didn't know about it, and got confused when asked to drop us at the hotel. The room didn't have a floor plan with emergency exit hung on door
The Arab and Idian hotel staff were perfect and helpfull in eveyway that can they made me feel spicail :) The Chines hotel staff were very bad they made it difficult for us in everything .They cant say anyword in the right way and you have the work it out by yourself what do they mean.:(
Direct access to Dubai Mall
Smell of the rooms and coridors good swiming pool nice birthday and hony moon decoration arrangements free The towels was not soft at all , in very bad touch to the skin very expensive according to the room size and furniture quality ad access to the mall ,, elevators very slow , very dramatice bad view over looking the metal roof of the dubai mall , small lobby bad lighting for the room , spot light in top of the bed , yes you can turn them off , but still they look bad not luxury feels like 4 star level of dubai driling and maintinace was more than what they told us in the letter paper from the manager
closed to dubai mall AC was not cooling, afte reparing was ok in the first day but next day same proplem cames again.
I have been upgraded to the best with no requsetion and all my Correspondents been handled perfectly non
Its was great
nice spacy studios, the view, closeness to dubai mall and fountain area phone system doesn't have quick buttons for house keeping,room service...etc no instructions for room to room calls or outside calls.. it was stated that rooms have wi fi but it didn't work and the employer couldn't instruct me efficiently to solve this problem... website didn't have booking option had to book from another hotel booking site
The towels wasn't so clean
Very new. In Dubai Mall which makes shopping very comfortable. Very friendly staff.
Utmärkt service, rent och fräscht, utmärkta faciliteter! Nej
Fantastiskt vackert, rogivande och vackert ! Att beställd taxiresa från flygplatsen till hotellet (kvällen när vi kom) visade sig kosta minst 500 kr mer än ifall vi tagit vanlig taxi. Service ?
Otroligt vackert och stilrent, bra kombination av väst och öst. Strålande rum och fantastisk service. När området runt Burj Dubai är klart blir det helt fantastiskt. Kaos i receptionen, otränad och inte speciellt kundvänlig personal. Fortfarande byggarbeten runt hotellet.
Bra bemotande, trots mycket tidig check in inget direkt

Game On! bloggers Tom Weir and Reid Cherner are in discussions to determine their favorite sports records of all-time.
They are asking for your help.
Over the next week, they will list their favorite marks and ask you to vote on them and add to the list if you wish.
They have already look at miscellaneous sports and basketball.
There will also be voting on football and Olympic records.
Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak: Pete Rose got to 44 and Paul Molitor reached 39, but no one has really endangered the mark Joltin' Joe set in 1941. He hit .409 during that stretch. Imagine the pressure that would build if anyone in pinstripes was on that kind of roll today.
Cal Ripken's 2,632-game played streak: This is the only record that ended voluntarily, but not until after Ripken passed Lou Gehrig as MLB's all-time Iron Man. He went 16 years without a day off before sitting out his final home game of the 1998 season.
Ted Williams' .406 average in 1941: Will baseball ever have another .400 hitter? Not unless someone has the discipline the Splendid Splinter showed in 1941, when he also led the AL in runs, homers, walks, and on-base and slugging percentage.
The New York Yankees' 27 World Series championships: The Green Bay Packers lead the NFL, with 13 championships. The Boston Celtics lead the NBA, with 17. And the Montreal Canadiens have 24 NHL titles. But the Yankees rule the pro sports world with their 27, and the MLB runnerup is St. Louis, with 10.
Barry Bonds' 762 home runs: For decades, Babe Ruth's 714 career homers was the Holy Grail of MLB records. Then Hank Aaron's 755 took over. Bonds now leads, and we're probably obligated to put him on this list, just to see how few votes he'll get.
Nolan Ryan's seven no-hitters: The last of Ryan's no-nos came 20 years ago, when he was 44. He began the day feeling horribly, then ended up with 16 strikeouts. Even though no-hitters have become more common the last couple of seasons, it's doubtful this record will ever be matched.
Pete Rose's 4,256 career hits: Sometime this season, Derek Jeter will become MLB's only active player with 3,000 career hits. And he'll still be more than 1,000 away from catching the all-time leader.
Denny McLain's 31-win season of 1968: McLain doesn't hold the all-time record for pitching victories in a year, but it is the modern-day standard, and one that may never be matched. Only other pitcher to do it in the last eight decades was Dizzy Dean with 30 in 1934.
Reid Cherner has been with USA TODAY since 1982 and written Game On! since March 2008.
He has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.
Michael Hiestand has covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY, tackling the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.

By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
Jon Stewart returned to Comedy Central's The Daily Show Tuesday after a summer-long absence.
He spent the last few months in Jordan directing Rosewater,an independently made Iranian political drama based on a true story,from his own adapted screenplay. Stewart's 12-week break was his longestyet from the show, which he joined in 1999 as a replacement for CraigKilborn.
Daily Show correspondent John Oliver filledthe anchor chair for eight weeks of original episodes, earningaccolades for his stint. The show has aired repeats since Oliver's lastepisode on Aug. 15.
Stewart no doubt will talk about his summer (he chatted via Skype with Oliver on air), and the news he's missed riffing on.
Thisweek's guests are a typically eclectic mix: Tonight's show (11 p.m.ET/PT) features Andrew Harper, head of the United Nations Refugee Agencyin Jordan; Wednesday's has Mario Livio, author of Brilliant BlundersFrom Darwin to Einstein: Colossal Mistakes by Great Scientists ThatChanged Our Understanding of Life and the Universe. And Thursday he hosts actor Michael C. Hall (Dexter).

"Please recommend a wedding band that goes well with this ring."
Great ring for the price. I could easily have spend thousands on an engagement ring, but I was lucky to have a great gal who appreciates a good value (my wallet appreciates it too!). She has had her eye on this ring (and sending me the link to it every month) for at least the last year. This is the one she loves and that is all that matters to me. It looks great and she gets compliments on it all the time. Plus it should be easy to get a bigger diamond in the future. We are both very happy with my purchase....

Really Surprised!
I have big square hands and fingers and was skeptical of how this would look...maybe my hands would dwarf it, but I have to say it looks amazing on my finger.The stones do not get lost in my hand, in fact they sparkle outrageously. The size is a little big, but the next size down would have been too small. I love this ring almost as much as I love the man who gave it to me!!!Read More
Beautiful Ring!!
I received this ring last night..is slightly smaller in size than the picture leads you to believe, but is delicate and beautiful! Has a dainty and antique look to it, but the sizing did run a tad small (at least for me). Definitely a ring I can see myself wearing for the rest of my life!Read More
My fiance just proposed with this ring, and it got so much attention. Definitely worth the price. It is so beautiful and sparkly :)Read More

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Introduction to a Feeding Frenzy
For years mankind has feared the Piranha and the Great White Shark and the dreaded Stingray oblivious to the most deadly fo all fish, the common guppy, which, for your information, can interbreed with the minnow.
edit History
Discovered in 1916 by Robert John Lechmere Guppy (1865-1916) and documented by his assistant Jahrence Cheung after a decent and Christian burial of his departed mentor, the Guppy was initially considered a natural anomaly a tiny and delicate fish who is capable of consuming a Man before he even has a chance of realizing he is being consumed, as was the case with Robert Guppy God rest his soul.
edit Distribution and Diversity
In its natural environment in South America and the Caribbean.In its native range, the guppy can be found in small streams and ponds of virtually any size. In Trinidad they are colloquially known as "Brazilions fish" because of their fecundity. In many countries with tropical, subtropical and mediterranea climates where guppies were not originally present, they have escaped from captivity and established naturally breeding ("feral") populations. It has also been erroniously introduced to some areas to keep down the mosquito population and help fight malaria,
edit Physical Description
The female guppy is most often drab brown to Olive Green in colour (though some females can have splotches of pink and lime green pokadots on them, this allows her to hide and thereby ambush her prey. The somewhat larger male has a naturally colourful caudal fin (tailfin), showing a wide variety in the wild, This coloration serves a similar purpose as the vibrant coloration of South American Poison Dart Frogs. The Guppy has aproxomatly 345 tiny razor sharp teeth lining its mouth these are continually being replaced as they fall out during feeding frenzies. Guppy have a strong pectoral fins that help them climb the aquarium, so it is advisable to cover your aquaria.
edit Ecology and behaviours
In the wild the Guppy is a constantly moving and hungry predator, any animal setting foot within the water where a Guppy lives is immeadiatly set upon and devoured, after experiments during World War II by Japanese scientists it was found that a pack of 20 guppies can reduce a human of 200 lbs. to his skeleton within an average of fifteen minutes, it can also suck the gelatinous out of a fully sized schkwowtum in two seconds. the guppy is continually stalking the outer perimiters of its territory, and can sense prey based on vibrations in the water and by the smell of blood, sweat or other bodily excretions that come into contact with the water.
edit Guppy standards
The Guppy is known for its assorted Tail configurations all designed by generations of Eviloution to provide their bearers with the most efficient killing tools.
- A) Long Hatchet, this pattern is designed for distance killing, the fish can swim in reverse using its tail chop off chunks of flesh from its prey
- B) Short Hatchet, This pattern is usually found on larger males, the heavier blade needs less ramming speed to lop off chunks of flesh
- C) Scottish Hatchet, Much like B, this Hatchet operates similarly, but the guppy so equipped is usually Drunk.
- D) Butchers Cleaver, primarily used in a chopping motion to cut through bone and grisle
- E) Frogs Gig, this breed of guppy is actually the least dangerous, as its tail is dedicated to the consumption of Frogs.
- F) Top Sting, This Breed is one of the Two venomous breeds, the spine on top of the tail contains a powerful neurotoxin which renders its prey immobile but increases Agony of the pain of being eaten
- G)Bottom Sting, like its Cousin F, this guppy is poisionous, however it posses a violent Necrotoxin that begins dissolving its prey on contact.
- H) Lyretail
- I) Tailless, this is a Needletail after shooting its quill,
- J) False Stingtail, this breed while it posses a sting possesses no venom, but it makes up for it by first eating the genitiles of its victims after soundly hitting them in them.
- K) Buzzsaw tail, the rotating tail of this breed is covered with tiny sharp projections and serve the same purpose as a circular saw.
- L) Needletail, the spine in the middle of this fish's tail can be shot from its tail and into the victim, it can pierce up to 3 inches into a watermelon, and upon contact with warm flesh, Explodes.
- Any mixture of the above - in 1937 scientist Sponngje Bobbinsyn experimented by cross breeding different tail types, resulting in very variable fish, some of which became herbivores and blood-suckers, others developed multiple tails and other fins, while others spontaneously exploded or had cardio arrest when startled.
edit Reproduction
The Guppy is not alone in nature with its odd breeding habits, much like the mosquito which must dine on blood before she can lay her eggs, the guppy female must consume hundreds of baby guppies from her last spawning prior to spawning her 20 or so live born offspring, it is believed that the guppy young injested is what makes the newly born fry capable of flying in the air for short distances.
If the fish, born at a mere 50/100 of an inch long can escape adult guppies, they will mature and grow to their full two inches long in a few years and search out mates. The female consumes his remains, . She gives birth a month later.

Henriette grew up in Northern Denmark but moved to England after she graduated from the University of Copenhagen. She wrote her first book when she was ten, a tale of two orphan sisters running away to Egypt fortunately to be adopted by a perfect family they meet on the Orient Express.
Between that first literary exploit and now, she has worked in the Danish civil service, for a travel agent, a consultancy company, in banking, hospital administration, and for a county court before setting herself up as a freelance translator and linguist.
Expecting her first child and feeling bored, she picked up the pen again, and when a writer friend encouraged her to join the Romantic Novelists' Association, she began to pursue her writing in earnest. Her debut novel, Up Close, won the New Talent Award in 2011 from the Festival of Romance and a Commended from the Yeovil Literary Prize.

It was the chalkboard outside our local grotty pub - and I do mean grotty - that convinced me it was finally over. "Grey Goose vodka served here," it said.
Well, that's one once-fashionable brand officially down the swanee, I thought. Not just the brand, either: vodka is fast becoming the chardonnay of the spirits world. Yes, it is still everywhere and, yes, barely a week passes without the arrival of some new vodka from Kazakhstan/ Finland/Torbay (delete as applicable), distilled 1,000 times and made with melted glacier water that has passed through a natural bed of granite or the stomach of an elk. And, yes again, they still serve it at celebrity parties. But vodka, like the Cosmopolitan cocktail, is so over.
I know this because a man who makes a living following every swoop and incline of high-end bar fashion told me so. "No one's interested in vodka now," he said. "You just need to watch the bartenders to know that." Bartenders are the surf dudes and DJs of the drinks world, and my source accords them the status of laboratory mice absorbed in an experiment of critical importance to the human race. "If you give a bunch of bartenders free rein to create a cocktail list, they don't touch vodka any more. They go for tequila and rum."
They say the same at Gerry's, an Aladdin's cave of spirits in Soho (020-7734 4215) and the first place I head to for any drink that's too obscure to find elsewhere: "Rum and tequila, that's what people are asking for." This is probably good news - aged rum and tequila have been on the verge of a comeback for some time. More interesting than vodka, like fine wine they are aged in barrels and designed to have layers of flavour and complexity. Swirl an aged rum, and it might exude wafts of roasted coffee beans, butterscotch, toasted nuts, crème brûlée, vanilla and orange, as well as a mellow warmth that steals over you like a tropical dusk. The best have to be tracked down in specialist bars and shops. Look out for the rich, silky Ron Zacapa Centenario, from Guatemala, and the pungent, smoky, 15-year-old El Dorado Special Reserve, from Guyana. Or try Appleton Estate 12-Year-Old (£21.99, Oddbins), a rich, slightly appley Jamaican rum. Tequila, meanwhile, has a salty kick, but can also have the depth and mellow vigour of a good armagnac. Look for one with a few years on it - the label will say "reposado" or "anejo" - unless you really like aggression.
In cocktails, these two spirits harmonise with one half of the flavour accents that seem to be on everyone's menu at the moment: blood orange and pink grapefruit. I had a very good pink grapefruit margarita the other day, and now want to try a blood orange daiquiri (golden rum, lime, blood orange juice) and a bloody mimosa (champagne, Cointreau, blood orange juice).
This robust, warm end of the citrus spectrum also works with one of this year's new gins. Whitley Neill London Dry Gin (£19, Gerry's, as before; £19, Ditto Deli, 020-8871 2586; £19.99, Wines Of The World, 020-8947 7725, winesofthe world.co.uk) uses African botanicals, among them the fruit of the baobab tree and the cape gooseberry. It smells of Christmas pudding, and has a dark, coffeeish taste that's so good with ripe citrus flavours it is better served with an orange slice and orange bitters, than lime or lemon.
The other cocktail trend is herbal, English garden flavours. At Petersham Nurseries, which is to garden centres what Gordon Ramsay is to greasy spoons, the lunch menu offers rosé bellinis alongside "scrambled eggs with shaved white truffle and pagnotta". This cafe is where that deity to a certain type of cuisine, Nigel Slater, chose to host the launch of his latest book. On its website you can look at a picture of "our Indian artist adviser". And the chef is called Skye. I think we can safely say that Petersham Nurseries knows a thing or two about chichi, so if they say we should drink rosé bellinis, I for one will not argue.
Other garden ingredients such as cucumber, mint, rose, crisp apple, camomile, elderflower, dandelion and burdock, gooseberry and even quince are popping up all over the place, too. Try making a rose gin fizz using Hendrick's gin, which has rose and cucumber botanicals, fresh mint, rose water, a squeeze of lemon and soda. It sounds rather summery, but it's a good, biting complement to a winter's day. Bar expert Sam Surl says the garden trend is linked to "the zeitgeisty lust towards fresh, wild, organic, country cues and the desire to see strong, quality ingredients. People like the idea of having, for example, cane sugar or muscovado in a cocktail, but not white sugar. Fresh mint is another ingredient that very obviously sends out all the right signals."
While Surl, too, is sure that vodka is on the decline, he says it'll have one more spell in the limelight: "Vodka has recently been all about packaging and presentation and style over substance. My prediction is that a raw Russian vodka will arrive out of nowhere. It will be a complete contrast to the soft, modern drinks we all go for. It will taste of cabbage and be something that in some distant corner people have been drinking for centuries, and it will blow everyone away with its gritty genuineness."

Awesome New Blog: Don't Judge My Hair
Ever feel like it's just time to change your 'do? Lately, I've been so sick of the mildly-different-variations-on-the-same-haircut that I've been rocking for the last five years. I'm not ever going to rock a Holmes-bob and it looks like the Kate Gosselin wig is sold out. Dammit!
As I was cruising for some "out of the box" hair ideas, I came across this amazing site, Don't Judge My Hair—a blog that pays tribute to epic hair styles, like this woman whose hair must be an homage to jellyfish. I secretly think a guy I dated must have inspired this site. He shaved a strip down the center of his head and dyed the rest pink and, as a result, looked like a friggin circus clown. Anhoo … while I may not find the ideal new 'do for me, I am certain to get closer to my new look by finding ones that don't make the cut. After the jump, some REALLY, REALLY inspirational hair.
Dad, Meet My New Boyfriend. Um … that guy I dated. I swear this is what his hair looked like. Only I would NEVER have introduced him to my dad. NEVER.
Hat Hair. Nothing worse than a case of "hat hair." Except that this guy has it … permanently.
It Also Appears That Her Hair Is Wearing Makeup. Tell me how this hairdo happens? Are we sure it's not a fabulous wig? How do you apply makeup to your hair? Anyone?
Did You Notice the Popped Collars? Yeah, Didn't Think So. Meet the Mullets. Mama Mullet, Baby Mullet, and Psycho Papa Mullet.

But make no mistake: the athletic gifts are there. In Seals-Jones, the Aggies are getting a player who can pass, run, catch, block and tackle. And Mitchell said that variety of talents makes him less likely to bust at the next level.
"I think Ricky's a wide receiver," Mitchell said. "But Ricky played quarterback for us. I think if he really focused on quarterback, he could be a great quarterback. He played safety for us. He was a wonderful safety. Of course, he's 6-6 230, so he could go into any of the defensive end spots or tight end spots.
"So there's a multitude of things I think his size and abilities are going to allow him to do," Mitchell said. "I don't think there's a big risk in the bust part of that thing as maybe some recruits who play [one] position might be."
Mitchell said he saw the potential in Seals-Jones early on, and that he worked hard to get the most out of his physical talents.
"When I took this job, he was in seventh grade, and he and Jowan Davis — Jowan is going to Rice — you could tell right then that they were head-and-shoulders above the kids they were playing," Mitchell said. "We're big on discipline around here. We were able to get [him] disciplined and get in the weight room. Ricky's been lifting weights since he was in seventh grade. We got him big and strong and got him in track and got him doing the right things. We knew that he would really be something special."
At the heart of that is Seals-Jones's astounding athleticism for a player his size.
"Our nationally televised game, I saw him running downfield, and I thought I felt the wind blow by," Mitchell said. "I'm not even sure how fast he is now. I know he's consistently gotten faster since he was younger just as he grows into that body. He's legit. I wouldn't doubt if he was in the top 4.3-area right now."
Of course, the primary goal of a wide receiver in a spread system is to make plays in space. And Mitchell said that's the tantalizing part of his pupil: Seals-Jones is flat-out deadly once he reaches the last level of defense.
"When he's in the secondary, defensive backs are not as big as he is, and he's as fast, or faster, than they are," Mitchell said. "You're normally dealing with arm tackles or tackles coming from awkward places, and they can't get him down. His stiff arm comes from a long ways away. So when he gets into the secondary, he's really hard for them to get him down."

Arctic Impressions
de Photographs by Evan Anderman
Acerca del libro
In the Fall of 2012 I had the incredible opportunity to make photographs on an expedition to the Arctic aboard the Russian Research Vessel Academic Sergei Vavilov. Many explorers have been to this part of the world, so it does not feel like a frontier, but more like an area where it is so difficult to survive you wonder why anyone would choose to live there. The tour visited three islands in the North Atlantic: Spitsbergen, Greenland, and Iceland. I was surprised how different the three places were. Although relatively close to each other they are worlds apart. The gulfstream, formally called the North Atlantic Drift, brings warmth and moisture to Iceland and Spitsbergen while avoiding Greenland.

Acerca del creador
Evan Anderman is a social-landscape photographer based in his hometown of Denver, Colorado who shoots mostly from his airplane. In his youth Anderman spent a great deal of time in the mountains and plains of Colorado and the Western United States. This love of the land eventually led Anderman to pursue the earth sciences as a career and he obtained several degrees in Geological Engineering. After working nearly two decades in the field, Anderman took his love for the landscape and pursued his passion for photography to become a full-time artist in 2005. Anderman is especially attracted to less-traveled, and often barren, areas such as Eastern Colorado, the high deserts and forests of the Western United States, Antarctica, Iceland and the Arctic. He finds peace in the solitude that these places offer, and is empowered to rise to the challenge of portraying these landscapes with optimism.

| Current CMS policy prohibits reimbursement for pharmacy-compounded drugs manufactured outside our federal system of drug regulation because they have not been approved for safety and efficacy and they are not manufactured in FDA-regulated facilities. Yet, these drugs are paid for under Medicare Part B. In many cases, compounded drugs are being substituted for FDA-approved products for profit reasons without the knowledgeable consent of prescribers who are typically unaware of the risks associated with compounded drugs--including but not limited to: 1) the use of chemicals with undetermined origins, potency and purity 2) the use of non-validated recipes and 3) inadequate end-product testing and analysis.
Sentinel events including patient deaths and population exposures to substandard drugs that pose an 'immediate threat of injury or harm' have raised important public health concerns associated with the growing compounding industry. But while other developed countries have adopted strict rules for compounding, the U.S. has failed to provide effective protections for American seniors under Medicare Part B. It is ironic that the U.S. is currently focused on the safety and quality of HIV/AIDS drugs in Africa and the potential for substandard products to reach consumers through re- importation while critically necessary resources have not been provided to tackle the substandard drug industry that has taken root within our own borders and which is subsidized by U.S. taxpayers.
As CMS moves forward with the implementation of an expanded drug benefit, the amplification of the existing, substandard pharmacy- compounding industry should be anticipated and mitigated.

Bridge Design Manual
The Bridge Design Manual is intended to be the primary source of information on the design practices of the Wyoming Department of Transportation's Bridge Program. Other sources of information may need to be consulted. For uniformity and consistency of the final product, the methods and practices stated in this manual should be followed, unless special conditions warrant otherwise, and approved by Bridge Program Staff.
This manual is a guide for the preparation of common structural projects and because of the many variations possible, literal conformation may not be feasible. The use of this manual does not relieve the designer of his or her responsibility, nor should it act as a restriction or inhibitor of imagination and new ideas. Although Bridge Office policy is presented here for numerous situations, content of the manual is not intended to be exhaustive. Therefore, use of this manual must be tempered with sound engineering judgment.

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her
middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not
take her eyes off him.
The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked
directly toward her (as all men will). Before she could offer her
apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to
her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do,
no matter how
kinky, for $20.00......on one condition." (There are always
Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man
replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three
The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly
removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's
hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and
slowly and meaningfully said...
"Clean my house."

SC-PT956 is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from first HTIB So i bought this item refurbished..came home..set it up..and bam i was listening to music/watching and using the 5.1 surround. Took me awhile to properly configure this with my ps3 via optical. You have to use only dolby 5.1 and not dts 5.1 or else some movies/games will not have audio (a lil research and i got it working properly) The wireless speakers are awesome..though the way it works is that the rear spearkers connects to a 'hub' which communicates wirelessly with the dvd/receiver. have no issues with it, works perfectly. As also this is my first surround sound home theater im extremely pleased and would definitely recommend this to first time buyers

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not what was expected wireless speakers not really wireless. The system uses cheap wires. you can't upgrade the speaker wires and if you need longer speaker wires, you have to splice extra wire in the middle. the system uses nonuniversal speaker connectors. the ipod dock is kind of flimsy. for the price it is ok. but was expecting more. for having one of the best plasmas made, this system does not live up to the Panasonic name.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best HTIB System As I write this users review of the Panasonic SC-PT956 Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) system please keep in mind these points I considered before making this purchase. First, I had a budget I needed to work within. Second, I wanted an easy to set-up system that would aesthetically work with the room decor and integrate easily with my LCD TV. This Panasonic SC-PT956 system exceeded my expectations of what I could have with a home theater system at the price I paid! Out of the box this system was up and running without any hassles. Everything needed was in the box except for the HDMI and Audio cables. Both of these cables I had on hand. The sound of this system is outstanding and a hands down winner for the price! I advise anyone who purchases this system to thoroughly read through its owner's manual and realize there are some limitations with this system. If you want more flexibly in a home theater system then look into purchasing a separate type component system but expect to spend more money! Personally for my budget and home theater entertainment application this is a great system! I recommend this Panasonic SC-PT956 as a best buy! You cannot go wrong when purchasing this system! However, whatever personal decision you make if you purchase this system or any other I hope that you enjoy it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from decent cheap system I expected more based on the description. but guess i should have known better because of the price. The system uses cheap speaker wires. You can not upgrade the wires. the fit and finish do not meet my expectations of what a panasonic product is. the ipod connector is flimsy. sound is decent but does not match the Panasonic home theater system I purchase 2 years ago for about the same price. that system allowed me to upgrade the speaker wires and the fit and finish were superb. I would not recommend this to those people who expect a superior product. this is something you would find at Walmart. Not a video specialty store.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great, but missing a few things... The wife got me this for Christmas and immediately went about hooking it up and playing loud music and parts of some favorite movies. My only qualms are a lack of inputs. If you want 5.1 Dolby on more than one device (in my case HD Cable Box and Xbox 360), you're going to have to buy a switch. Either multiple optical inputs or optical, digital coax, and/or HDMI would all work just fine to get the devices I want hoooked up. I was also disappointed that it did not come with rear speaker stands as some of the prior models came with. I love having the Ipod dock, but it is a little tedious looking for songs on my 120gig Ipod Classic. The 8 gig Nano is easier since there is way less music on there. It's been a few weeks and I still get a stupid grin when watching movies or playing Xbox w/the surround sound on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from SC-PT956 Home Theater My wife and I love this unit it has and does it all. The sound is wonderful and we really like the wireless rear speakers, saved me running peskey wires around the room under wall molding. I am not a elect. wizzard so it took me a bit of time to get it hooked up but was well worth it.

Replacement Accessories
Owner's Manuals
What do I do in the unit has no power?If the unit is not powering on, remove the power cord plug from any power strip it may be connected to and plug directly into the wall outlet.
How do I connect a Panasonic home theater system to my TV?Panasonic recommends that you use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI output of your Blu-ray disc player to the HDMI input on your TV. Then place your TV on the correct HDMI input using your TV remote control.
What should I do if I am not getting any sound from the center or the right speaker?Center Speaker
Check the speaker wire connection on the back of the unit. Unplug the speaker wire from the back of the unit, and then reinsert it into the center speaker slot on the back of the unit. Next, go to the unit's audio settings and perform a speaker test. If you are using a stereo channel source or the unit has no center channel encoded, turn on the "Super Surround" option.
Right Speaker
The right speaker of the center channel is a "Super Tweeter" it along with the full range speaker produce a more natural sound even though you may not hear audio coming from the super tweeter. Super tweeters produce high frequencies which may not be heard at all times.
How do I use the ARC feature with my home theater system?ARC is an abbreviation for Audio Return Channel. To use this feature the HDMI cable you are using must be compliant to HDMI v1.3 spec or later. Older cables may not work correctly.
VIERA Link can work with either the HDMI- ARC feature of a compatible TV.
For ARC usage make sure that the systems HDMI ARC port is connected to the TVs ARC port.
1. Press [HOME].
2. Select "Others" icon and press [OK].
3. Select "Setup" and press [OK].
4. Select "Audio" and press [OK].
5. Select "TV Audio Input" and press [OK]. Then select the "ARC" option.
Afterwards the TV's ARC feature will control the home theater system and the sound from the TV will be heard through the systems speakers.

The property industry was taken aback by the appointment this month of London-based LaSalle Investment Management executive Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz to head Mirvac.
Investors were angry about the paltry explanation for the switch and some canvassed dumping Mr MacKenzie. Their concerns came to a head in a meeting with institutional shareholders at a lunch hosted by Macquarie in Melbourne last Friday.
Mr Collishaw left the room, at the request of investors, so the chairman could face questions about the chief executive's exit. Those attending said Mr MacKenzie cited two main reasons for Mr Collishaw's departure.
First was the need to change Mirvac's culture from its origins as a local developer so it could win support from global capital groups. The second reason discussed was Mr Collishaw's average to below average performance in investor surveys.
But one attendee said, "I am not sure a new chief executive can make such a big difference." He cited the difficulty of lifting Mirvac's earnings while the residential cycle was weak and much of Mirvac's income was sourced from office assets. Nick Collishaw may not have been the best CEO in the market but he stabilised the business and now people are saying what difference can a new person make?"
Sources have praised Mr Collishaw's handling of the matter. "Under difficult circumstances Nick's impressed lot of people with the way he has conducted himself," one said.
Some were impressed by Mr MacKenzie's performance. "He did a pretty good job of taking the heat in a really tough environment," one fund manager said. "He was really being given the rounds of the kitchen."
"You can dispute the way they've done it [but] they believe to get the best of the platform and optimise the business it was best to make a change.
"While there is a bit of a shadow hanging over it . . . we walked out more than comfortable," he said.
Maxim Asset Management managing director Winston Sammut said Mr Collishaw had positioned the company to take advantage of the next five years. "He should be rewarded rather than be dismissed. My concern is that what does that say about the culture," he said.

Musiqa to Bring Brass Concerts to Market Square, Beg. 10/25
The first brass piping from the Louis and Annie Friedman Clock Tower (also known as the Market Square Clock) will occur on Friday, October 25, 2013 at 12:15pm. As part of two unique grant projects funded by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance, University of Houston student Russell Haehl will perform a brief Musiqa-commissioned composition by Adam Beard, a student composer from the University of Houston's Moores School of Music.
This will launch a 6-month process in which each month another student composer will be added to the program with a new brass premiere. Each time the number of instruments will increase until the final performance in March will be approximately 45 minutes long and include a total of 6 new compositions and 6 performers.
This project is one aspect of the public art clock tower project, What Time Is It?, by artist Jo Ann Fleischhauer, and the hourly sound composition by Musiqa's Artistic Director Anthony Brandt and Chapman Welch titled C O'Clock that began on September 28th.
The work explores the concept of time and the relevancy of its physical markers in a digital age by interrogating the place of a clock tower in our everyday lives. In What Time Is It?, applied mirror panels effectively dematerialize the physical structure of the clock tower to the point of disappearance. A spiral staircase winds its way up and into the tower leading to the actual clock hovering at the top.
Together, mirrors and staircase deemphasize the architecture of the tower and instead put visual emphasis on the clock and bell, a clock however, which is not tolling time as expected.Backlit images of historical notes and calculations about space and time that appear as constellations in the sky become the backdrop for the actual clock faces, their visibility and prominence shifting in intensity as the projected light circles through different shades of brightness and temperature.
Musiqa's collaboration addresses the auditory nature of the clock tower by replacing the scheduled chimes of bells with original musical works inspired by the site. C O'Clockcomposed by Anthony Brandt and Chapman Welch runs through the entire duration of the exhibition by replacing the ringing of the bell with a progression of chords that rise and set like the sun. Each chord is complemented by ringing sounds that are improvised by a computer and make each tolling unique and unpredictable. The sound source of both the underlying chords and the improvisations is Market Square itself, recorded street noise, which is filtered until it turns into pure tones. Musiqa will offer a full concert in celebration of this work for free in Market Square Park on Friday, November 8 at 7:30 pm, sponsored by Houston Downtown Management District.

BHP to develop $1 billion Ohanet Gas Project in Algeria
(MEBG) – Australia's Broken Hill Proprietary has said it plans to develop the Algerian Ohanet fields, and for that purpose will invest $618 million of the estimated $1.03 billion development cost. The company said it will own a 60 percent interest in the venture, with Japan Ohanet Oil & Gas Co. holding a 30 percent stake and Petrofac Resources LLC owning 10 percent.
BHP estimates that the Ohanet fields contain reserves of more than 3.4 trillion cubic feet of pipeline quality gas, 107 million barrels of condensate and 116 million barrels of liquefied petroleum gas. First production is scheduled for October 2003 and peak liquids production will be around 58,000 barrels per day, which will be shared by the venture partners according to their equity interest.
BHP and Sonatrach, the Algerian national oil company will jointly operate the venture, which is subject to formal approval by the Algerian government.
Ohanet is located in Algeria's Illizi province, about 1,300 km southeast of Algiers and 100 km west of the Libyan border. The fields, originally discovered in the late 1950s and early 1960s, now contain more than 65 wells.
Last month, BHP said it would develop five oilfields in the adjacent Berkine basin in Algeria in a venture with Eni SpA, Europe's fourth largest oil company

Niehenke served as the Treasury`s point man during the recent debt-ceiling crisis. A statement said Niehenke`s resignation is effective Tuesday and gave no indication of his immediate plans. Before his Treasury post, Niehenke was a senior vice president of Girard Bank in Philadelphia.

Today, the National Hurricane Center calls these "hybrid" storms "subtropical storms." The name is fitting because they often form over subtropical oceans.
Extratropical cyclones are that familiar mid-latitude storms that occur in all seasons and can form over land or water. Temperature contrasts are their major source of energy and they have fronts, or boundaries between warm and cold air.
Tropical cyclones include hurricanes and typhoons. They form mainly in the summer and fall and form over warm oceans, especially tropical oceans. Heat released when water vapor condenses to form clouds is their major source of energy, and they do not have fronts. Instead, tropical cyclones form in warm, humid air masses. (Related: How tropical, extratropical cyclones differ).
Subtropical cyclones usually form out of extratropical storms.
For reasons that generally are not well understood, an extratropical storm begins to generate thunderstorms close to its center and the latent heat given off by the condensation of water vapor warms the storm's central core, making it like a "warm core" tropical cyclone.
With a warm core established, meteorologists studying hybrid storms observed eye-type features, more typical of hurricanes, forming in many intensifying storms. They also determined the Northern Hemisphere version of these evolving systems exhibited a tight temperature contrast on their northern side, a feature exclusive to extratropical storms, not tropical storms.
Possibly the most puzzling feature of the hybrid storm, is its ability to constrict its core of fastest winds from an enormous scale — sometimes blowing over an area more than 600 miles wide — to a small diameter, say less than 100 miles wide. The wind speed often intensifies from gale force strength of 39 mph or more to, at times, 100 mph as the storm's central pressure drops.
The pressure in a developing hybrid storm can sometimes fall at an alarming rate, reaching ten millibars (about 0.3 inches of mercury) or more per hour in extreme cases. More typically, the pressure fall is one to three millibars per hour (0.03 to 0.09 inches per hour), but a continuous fall at this rate can rapidly intensify even a meager storm into a monster in less than a day. This growth spurt is termed "explosive deepening" and usually lasts for 12 to 36 hours.
If the pressure falls steadily at one millibar or more per hour for 24 hours, the storm is called a "bomb cyclone" relating to its "explosive" intensification.
Bud Dorr flew into these developing storms in 1991 during the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic Ocean (ERICA).
As a lead forecaster at the Boston National Weather Service, his interest in bomb cyclones earned him a seat on one of NOAA's WP-3 Orion aircraft that flew the ERICA missions.
In the April 1990 issue of Weatherwise, Dorr describes two of the experiment's missions off the U.S. East Coast during the winter of 1988-89. One of the storms probed on Jan. 4 explosively deepened when it moved over the warm water of the warm Gulf Stream, its central pressure falling 60 millibars (1.77 inches!), from 996 to 936 millibars (29.41 to 27.64 inches), in 24 hours.
Dorr called it "an 'ultrabomb,' an exploding cyclone whose central pressure fall averages at least 10 millibars per hour for six hours."
Two powerful hybrid storms became famous when they lashed the East Coast of the U.S. on or very near major holidays:

Old-World Charm Meets Contemporary Elegance at Boutique Hotel Facing Niagara River
Though it's a relatively new hotel, Barton Hill Hotel & Spa is located on some historic land in Lewiston, New York, site of the first battle of the War of 1812. The surrounding Niagara region has a vintage feel to it as well: it's dotted with charming villages and idyllic vineyards. In keeping with the setting, Barton Hill's decor and design have an old-fashioned look, too.
Beyond the white-stone entrance, you'll find the hotel's great room, which is anchored by stately columns and outfitted with Greek Revival furniture. Upstairs, spacious portage retreat rooms maintain a similar sense of elegance with varying decor that might include heavy draperies and wrought-iron chairs. Each room comes with a gas fireplace and an iPod docking station.
Use your optional dining credit at the inn's Chantry Restaurant, which serves inventive cocktails along with gourmet pub food. The menu rotates weekly, but it might include baked tilapia ($17) or maple-cured salmon ($10). Or, use your spa credit at the onsite Spa at Barton Hill, where treatments include a 50-minute Swedish massage ($90) and a sea-salt body polish ($100).
Lewiston, New York: Historic Town Minutes from Niagara Falls
Lewiston was one of western New York's earliest settlements, dating back to the 1600s. Today, its quaint streets are lined with antique stores and art galleries. Just a 10-minute drive from the hotel is the Niagara Wine Trail, where you can find a handful of vineyards. The area is best known for its ice wine, a sweet dessert varietal made from frozen grapes.
The Niagara River flows past the hotel, about 8 miles upstream from the American side of the falls. At that iconic spot, roughly 600,000 gallons of water cascade over the brink each second, creating a thunderous roar and sending a cool mist into the air. Niagara Falls State Park offers a variety of lookout points. One of the best is free—the 282-foot Prospect Point Park observation tower.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at DotNetNuke.Framework.DefaultPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) in e:\websites\tvtechnology.com\public_html\Default.aspx.cs:line 791
German public broadcaster Südwestdeutscher Rundfunk (SWR), based in Stuttgart, has installed RTW's flagship SurroundControl 31900SD surround-sound monitoring controller in its top-of-the line FÜ2HD HD-enabled OB truck.
The SurroundControl 31900SD combines comprehensive analysis functions with high-level monitoring control, practical routing tasks and a host of analog and digital audio interfaces. Thanks to its flexibility, the SurroundControl 31900SD serves various applications in the complex SWR installation. For example, it serves as a key component of a sophisticated backup system, which provides an alternative signal flow in case the mixing desk or router fails.
The SWR FÜ2HD truck, which is primarily used for sports broadcasts and has covered events such as the 2008 European Football Championships, accommodates 12 cameras as standard and can handle an additional four cameras if needed. Featuring an internal usable width of four meters, the van is equipped with an Avid Unity MediaNetwork, three EVS systems providing a total of 12 video channels, a Lawo mc²66 digital console and a Pro Tools system including a D-Command controller. With 270 IP addresses in use, the truck's 17 workstations have access to 24 CPUs via CATCenter units.
The FÜ2HD also features a comprehensive backup system covering the complete signal flow from source to destination. Users can create a complete backup mix with up to 48 source channels using the Pro Tools system and the D-Command controller, thus bypassing the audio and the main console. It is also possible to use backup channels for monitoring and metering all critical signals to ensure that those key functions will still be available in case of a router or mixing desk failure. This scenario makes optimum use of the RTW SurroundControl 31900SD's analog, AES and SDI I/O capabilities as well as of its preset-controlled routing options. By simply pressing an emergency switch, the 31900SD control unit, located next to the D-Command, immediately takes over the audio monitoring control from the Lawo console. Furthermore, SWR is able to control the complete metering and monitoring setup of the RTW system via GPIs, and even the background color of the 31900SD's GUI changes to reflect the backup scenario being activated.

List of Hebrew Months
The Hebrew Calendar
The Hebrew calendar is a calendar that is primarily used by Jews in order to know when Jewish occasions fall. For example, you may want to know the date of Rosh Hashana which falls on the the first of Tishrei. Rosh Hashana literally means Head of the Year or first of the Year. This is a bit like New Year's Day on the secular calendar.
You may have also noticed in the list of Hebrew months above, that although I said in the previous paragraph that Tishrei is the first month, that it infact appears as the seventh month above. That is because according to the Torah (or bible), there are two Jewish New Years (well, actually four) one of which is the first of Nissan and the other which is the first of Tishrei. Don't worry for now if you are confused :)

Let's keep it short and sweet.
My girlfriend lives with her grandparents. I was told he'd be mad if I spent more than a few bucks (as in like 20) and already bought a $100 bracelet. If he gets upset or something (he's weird, some things he likes when I don't listen to him, others he gets mad about) what would a proper, gentlemanly response be? I'm sixteen, by the way.

"I chose a gift I thought your granddaughter would like and that I could afford, Sir."
However - Social taboos in play that the grandfather is reacting to, but can't articulate:
1. Expensive, ostentatious gifts
2. Jewelry as a first Christmas present, in a casual relationship
Both can (especially "in past generations") put the granddaughter in a tough position. They can imply you're trying to buy her. That the relationship is more serious than 16-year-olds should have. That your family is better than hers. That you're better than she is.
Consider, in my upper-middle-class family, full of adult professionals, very few gifts cost $100. I budget $100/person at Christmas, and only since I completed law school. My own family would be embarrassed - has been embarrassed - by gifts that expensive, even when there are no "How do they afford it?" issues. Expensive gifts from a teenager would have been rejected growing up.
People are just funny about presents. I often talk about how my in-laws give only cards at occasions (Father's Day, birthdays) when my family gives gifts and no cards. On AoM today was a story that could be interpreted as meaning a young person thought it was so important to give the boss a gift, she gave him stolen goods. My mother would be aghast to learn that I decided it wasn't worth the trouble to coach my new husband through giving me a gift. My husband is aghast at the inexpensive, unwanted gifts my mother puts so much effort into giving.
I know you don't mean any of those taboos I named. But they're part of our unwritten social fabric, or they were.
Stop using the word "like".
Make no mention, ever, to anyone about the dollar amount you spent on a gift. Ever. To anyone.
If asked directly what you spent on a gift, respond with "What I could afford without going over my holiday budget". If pressed beyond that, respond with "I don't believe that is really' appropriate, to discuss the price of a gift".
Your best response would depend on what he says. But the best demeanor, I think, would be detachment from the attack, and focusing on other things.
And that may be wrong. He may like a good fight. A joke may turn it. An excuse. "
But I'll go with Rebekah: if you're not, say, engaged, a $100 bracelet is a major statement that you aren't ready to make yet. Women take jewelry gifts seriously (so women tell me). Can you return it? Or save it for a time when the commitment is strong enough to merit it?
