Espanyol v Villarreal - Saturday 17:00, Sky Sports 3
The visitors have been unconvincing for several weeks, despite equalling a club record of 39 points at the midway point in a Primera season. Marginal victories over Valencia, Deportivo and Sporting presented the fourth-placed Yellow Submarine with an opportunity to go above Real Madrid last weekend but they fluffed their lines with another tepid performance in a goalless draw against managerless Real Betis.
Espanyol are currently bottom of my 16-match ratings but it owes much to a quirk of the fixture list - the Catalans have played eight of the top ten teams away from home. In terms of performance data, there's not a lot between them. Villarreal's shot ratio is just 47 per cent, courtesy of the lowest shots per game figure in the division, which indicates added value in SkyBet's standout 4/1 quote about Espanyol to win to nil.
Granada v Getafe - Saturday 19:30, Sky Sports 3
Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla have both been turned over at Los Cármenes in the past couple of months and eight of the next nine teams to visit El Graná currently sit below those two in the table. The visitors head south on the back of three straight wins but home games against Real Betis and Espanyol were conveniently timed, with Fran Escriba's men well-rested against opponents wrapped up in local-derby Copa del Rey commitments.
Contrary to my ratings, the market is expecting a low-scoring game and throws open some value on the home side winning with something to spare. Getafe's last six defeats have all been by two clear goals, so back-up a straight match bet on Granada at 17/10 with some of the 19/4 available on Granada to clear the -1 handicap. My 16-match ratings make it a 7/2 shot.
Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo - Saturday 21:05, Sky Interactive
Rayo Vallecano are winless in ten matches (seven in the league) but don't let that put you off, their form has always been sporadic rather than sustained, and their high-intensity approach can only benefit from a full week of recovery after Atletico ended their interest in knockout competition.
Atletí moved on the Balaídos, where they played out a goalless draw with Celta on Tuesday, and Eduardo Berizzo's men know a thorough examination of their nerve awaits at the Calderon four days after this game, so might be inclined to hold something back, which could be to their cost. All things considered, odds of 7/4 about the home win are more than satisfactory.
The treble on all three home wins pays over 20/1 with several firms.

Wow! This was a lot better than I was expecting. Maybe because of the poor reputation for tea and England in the States, I always thought that "Earl Grey" would be dull and bland. How wrong I was! The sweet citrus smell given off by the tea leads to an equally pleasing taste. Definitely the most tasteful black tea of the Adagio sampler I have been going through. I wish I could tell you how it tasted with a little milk and sugar, I enjoyed it so much plain that I didn't want to try it! Probably the Black tea I will be recommending to new tea drinkers, not once did I get even a hint of bitterness off it.

I've been wanting to try this cake ever since RHC first came out, so when the call for chocolate cupcakes came, I couldn't resist trying this version. I was somewhat pressed for time, so I was not able to bake them one pan at a time, or to stop piping the ganache after the first one to whip or chill it. So they aren't my prettiest, but I thought it might be helpful to post notes.
Hopefully you can tell from these pictures how dark and shiny this ganache is, it's really beautiful. My batch was a little soft for piping, but I can see how it would be a perfect consistency for the presentation in the book.
I thought the cake was going to end up tasting similar to the Cake Bible's choc fudge, but it's different, less bittersweet. Beautiful soft, fine texture. I made these according to the method given in the outcakes for this cake. http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/2009/11/devils_food_cake_on_page_99_of.html#more The recipe made 26 cupcakes.
Somehow I was thinking that both the cake and the ganache might be too strong/bitter, but it was not the case at all, these are chocolate-y but not overly intense.
My favorite part of this recipe was the brandied cherries. I first made them over a month ago and have made several more batches since. They are great with vanilla ice cream as well as anything chocolate. They peak about a week after being made, but stay good for at least two weeks, probably longer but I wouldn't know as I haven't had any last that long.

During the protest, which gave a big boost to the women's rights movement and helped bring about equal pay in the workplace, the strike committee was invited to tea by Barbara Castle, who was Harold Wilson's employment secretary. Imelda Staunton is, I hear, in negotiations to play Castle, with whom the strikers raised the issue of equal pay for the first time.
"It's very funny and easy to relate to," says Stephen Woolley, the co-producer. The film's title is a reference to a banner carried by the women during one march proclaiming "We Want Sex Equality". It was only later that they realised the last word had gone missing.
Sally, who is the daughter of Jacqui and Colin Hawkins, the authors and illustrators of children's books, won a Golden Globe Award and a number of other prizes for her performance as Poppy in Happy-Go-Lucky. The 32-year-old actress appeared opposite Miss Staunton in Vera Drake, which was also directed by Leigh.

LOS ANGELES — Marqise Lee caught a 75-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage and returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score, and No. 1 Southern California rolled to a 49-10 victory over Hawaii on Saturday night.
Matt Barkley kicked off his Heisman Trophy campaign with 377 yards passing and four touchdowns, and Lee caught 10 passes for 197 yards for the Trojans (1-0), whose offensive stars were every bit as impressive as expected in their first game since their two-year NCAA bowl ban ended.
Silas Redd rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown on a team-leading nine carries in the Penn State transfer's debut at USC, which led 35-0 at halftime and coasted to its 15th consecutive season-opening victory.
■ No. 2 Alabama 41
No. 8 Michigan 14
ARLINGTON — AJ McCarron threw two touchdown passes and Alabama's retooled defense showed it could still dominate as the second-ranked Crimson Tide pounded No. 8 Michigan.
Even after sending three starting defenders from last year's national championship team to the NFL as first-round draft picks, the Crimson Tide threw around the Wolverines while stifling and pounding dual-threat quarterback Denard Robinson.
C.J. Mosley returned an interception 16 yards for a touchdown. Dee Milliner had four pass breakups and an interception in the first half that set up a score after he shoved the intended receiver to the ground on the sideline.
■ No. 3 LSU 41
North Texas 14
BATON ROUGE, La. — Kenny Hilliard rushed for 141 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 3 LSU opened its season with a victory over North Texas.
While the heavily favored Tigers were never threatened, their performance did not always thrill a Death Valley crowd that eagerly anticipated the debut of Zach Mettenberger as starting quarterback.
Mettenberger, who was briefly sidelined by a vicious sack, was 19 of 26 for 192 yards, an interception and a touchdown. But LSU didn't really need to throw in a game decided by its overwhelming defense and a running game that accounted for 316 yards, including 123 by Alfred Blue.
■ No. 6 Georgia 45
Buffalo 23
ATHENS, Ga. — Freshman tailback Todd Gurley ran for three touchdowns, Aaron Murray threw three scoring passes and No. 6 Georgia overcame a sloppy first half to beat Buffalo.
Gurley didn't start but may have emerged as the Bulldogs' future at tailback with his eight carries for 100 yards, including scoring runs of 10 and 55 yards. He added a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter.
Georgia, favored by 37½ points, led only 24-16 at halftime before pulling away in the season opener for both teams.
■ No. 7 Florida State 69
Murray State 3
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Lonnie Pryor, James Wilder Jr., and Debrale Smiley combined for seven rushing touchdowns to lead No. 7 Florida State to a win over Murray State.
Pryor ran for three TDs, and Smiley and Wilder added two apiece. Wilder finished with 106 yards rushing.
Florida State (1-0) scored on their first touch of the new season on Rashad Greene's 47-yard punt return just 89 seconds into the game.
■ No. 10 Arkansas 49
Jacksonville State 24
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Tyler Wilson opened his Heisman Trophy campaign in convincing fashion, doing so with a mostly remade set of receivers.
Wilson set the school record for yards passing in a season opener, finishing 19 of 27 passing for 367 yards and three touchdowns to lead the No. 10 Razorbacks to a win over Jacksonville State.
Two of Wilson's touchdowns went to tight end Chris Gragg, who finished with seven catches for 110 yards as Arkansas (1-0) won its first game under coach John L. Smith.
■ No. 12 Wisconsin 26
Northern Iowa 21
MADISON, Wis. — Montee Ball rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown, and No. 12 Wisconsin needed a big defensive play to survive a fourth-quarter scare from Northern Iowa.
Wisconsin's defense didn't allow Northern Iowa on its side of the 50-yard line until the 4:27 mark in the third quarter — but then the Badgers nearly melted down.
Leading 26-7 in the fourth quarter, Wisconsin allowed Northern Iowa quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen to throw a pair of long touchdowns to David Johnson, cutting the lead to five.
■ No. 14 Clemson 26
Auburn 19
ATLANTA — Andre Ellington rushed for 231 yards, DeAndre Hopkins set a school record with 13 receptions and No. 14 Clemson opened the season with a victory over Auburn.
Playing before a 50-50 crowd at the Georgia Dome — basically halfway between the two campuses — Clemson shook off any hangover from last season's embarrassing 70-33 loss to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl and showed plenty of offense against Auburn (0-1) even without star receiver Sammy Watkins, who was suspended for the first two games after an offseason drug arrest.
■ No. 17 Nebraska 49
Southern Miss. 20
LINCOLN, Neb. — Taylor Martinez threw for a career-high 354 yards and matched his high with five touchdown passes to lead No. 17 Nebraska to a victory over Southern Mississippi.
The Huskers won their nation-leading 27th straight opener.
Nebraska played the last three quarters without Rex Burkhead. The 1,300-yard rusher last season went out with a sprained ligament in his left knee after opening the scoring with a career-long 57-yard run.
Backup Ameer Abdullah ran 15 times for 81 yards and made an acrobatic catch for an 11-yard TD.
■ No. 18 Ohio State 56
Miami (Ohio) 10
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Braxton Miller rushed for 165 yards, a record for an Ohio State quarterback, and threw for two scores including Devin Smith's highlight-reel, one-handed catch as the 18th-ranked Buckeyes ushered in the Urban Meyer era with a win over Miami (Ohio).
Meyer, who won two national titles at Florida, moved to 11-0 in season-openers.
The slow-starting Miller, who stutter-stepped for a 65-yard score just 17 seconds into the second half, finished 14 of 24 passing for 207 yards. He also hit Corey Brown on a 5-yard TD pass.
■ No. 23 Florida 27
Bowling Green 14
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Mike Gillislee had a career-high 148 yards rushing and two touchdowns, helping No. 23 Florida beat Bowling Green.
The performance was far from perfect for the Gators, who struggled part of the game on offense and failed to generate much pressure on defense. Still, it was enough for Florida to win its 23rd consecutive opener. The streak is the second longest in the nation behind Nebraska (27).

Arabic news network Al Jazeera's list of the "Top Ten" stories of 2010 looked a bit different from many of the lists we've seen Stateside. And not in a bad way.
For example, it ranked Israel's attack on an aid fleet the #2 biggest story of the year.
We've come across few top ten list that included that at all, let alone so high up.
WikiLeaks is still the biggest story, but Mother Nature dominated the list: Environmental disasters made up four of the top ten biggest stories of 2010.
Meanwhile, not a single celebrity -- be they of the Hollywood or cable variety -- made the cut.

Ernest Lawrence Thayer's Casey at the Bat
brought to life by Christopher Bing
Children's book review by Steve Barancik
Ages 5-12
Read The Mudville Sunday Monitor!
I've got chills.
Truth is, I hadn't been looking forward to reading and reviewing this book. My love for baseball faded in childhood. Casey at the Bat, Ernest Lawrence Thayer's 1888 poem about the highs and lows of fandom, had lost relevance for me.
Thank goodness Christopher Bing has more vision than I do. If I'd known what he was up to, I would have grabbed up Casey at the Bat 10 years ago, when he won a Caldecott Honor for it.
You probably remember the poem. (Because it's out of copyright and in the public domain, I can reproduce it for you below.)
The poem's charm is in the way it plays with expectations. Its sense of build, and our own sense of conventional storytelling, lead us to expect nothing less than a game-winning home run from mighty Casey.
Things don't quite work out that way. It's a poignant reminder of what it is to be a fan: that for every winner there's a loser, and even worse, that in the end there can be only one champ. Everyone else goes home disappointed.
Bing's contribution brings a lot more than that to the plate.
He imagines not only a real Mudville (the city where Casey's team plays) but a real 1880's newspaper - The Mudville Sunday Monitor covering the events of the day, including the game. And I say, "Wow."
You see, it was baseball that lured me into newspaper reading and concerning myself with the events of my own day.
Casey at the Bat
My parents were avid newspaper readers. As a young baseball fan, I wanted that sports section. I needed to read about my beloved Cubbies.
Well, soon I was reading about other teams as well. And not long after that, the proximity of those other newspaper sections started exerting their own siren call.
I think you might find the same thing if you present Casey at the Bat to your young baseball fan.
Only a small amount of the text on each page comprises the poem. The rest consists of images and text faithfully inspired by 19th century newspapers. The language in the accompanying articles is true to the style of the time, and the newspaper itself looks like a yellowed copy that was once fresh off the press. The illustrations look precisely as if they were printed from engraved copper plates.
The Sunday Monitor's advertisements are a blast from the past - Cockle's Anti Bilious Pills and Brown's Bronchial Troches - but it's those articles that really may have something to teach. Baseball aficionados will learn about a move to ban the overhand pitch (if you can imagine!). More significantly...
They might notice some African-American faces among the players and wonder how that could be, given that this fictional game takes place nearly sixty years before Jackie Robinson. Then they might notice an editorial in the (equally fictional) National Sports Reporter & Gazette, entitled, "Dark Days Ahead," decrying the rumors about a pending ban of "Negro players from the game of baseball."
Do you see what's happening? We started with baseball. We're progressing to learning.
This is a phenomenal book that curious minds can pore over endlessly and find themselves transported back to a different time. (One with an expanded vocabulary compared to our own!) Casey at the Bat is a perfect book to sneak into the hands of a child with a narrow interest in sports. It can widen those horizons.
Casey at the Bat
by Ernest Lawrence Thayer
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day:
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play,
And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,
A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to the hope which springs eternal in the human breast;
They thought, "If only Casey could but get a whack at that--
We'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat."
But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake,
And the former was a hoodoo, while the latter was a cake;
So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,
For there seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all,
And Blake, the much despisèd, tore the cover off the ball;
And when the dust had lifted, and men saw what had occurred,
There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third.
Then from five thousand throats and more there rose a lusty yell;
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;
It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat,
For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.
There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile lit Casey's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;
Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt;
Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance flashed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped--
"That ain't my style," said Casey. "Strike one!" the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore;
"Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted someone on the stand;
And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;
He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the dun sphere flew;
But Casey still ignored it and the umpire said, "Strike two!"
"Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered "Fraud!"
But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate,
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate;
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville--mighty Casey has struck out.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I'm trying to figure out how to write a projection alternate which doesn't use a list or grid. Basically I need items to display in either a div or article tage without being wrapped in any other element/tag.
Trying to make an isotope.js portfolio and the list item classes are not being assigned even though the field value token is being pulled from the dropdown within the projection layout editor {Content.Fields.Project.Category.Value}.
So i guess my question is kinda twofold, either figure out how to get the class assigned based on the category field value since the token is not working, or eliminate the ul li all together (my personal preference).
Any help is much appreciated as always!
this seems to be the issue I'm seeing with the item class token not displaying: http://orchard.codeplex.com/workitem/18901?PendingVoteId=18901
I think this is just the module for you:
It allows you to use a Layout that will render just the items, no UL, no LI's, unless you want it to. You could even specify your own container and item tags.
Are you sure you want to delete this post? You will not be able to recover it later.

Eh, Canadian, Red, Grey.. horse. Same difference. Or IS IT? DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! Well is it?
Squirrels are impressive little creatures making home all over the world (except sad Australia. But they have all sorts of weird marsupials, so I say we are about even with our Aussie friends) with a staggering diversity of more than 200 different species.
This is a very common Eastern Grey Squirrel that is often seen where I live (in the US Northeast).
I am going to post a little demo in an effort to:
- Justify the fact that I bought yet another cheek brush (ahem)
- Show how these brushes perform differently to the same product
- See if hair type & density actually make a noticeable difference in application.
- Tom Ford Cheek brush - a very dense, large and very soft goat hair brush.
- Chikuhodo Artist Red 16-1 - a fair large grey squirrel brush, with some nice density
- SUQQU Cheek brush - a.k.a. Lisa Eldridge Kitten Paw. Like the Artist Red, also grey squirrel, but with a very petite head and much less density.
- Koyudo Canadian Squirrel Cheek brush - the new kid on the block for me. It is all Canadian Squirrel hair, which is soft but definitely with more bounce, resistance and firmness than grey squirrel.
- Trish McEvoy Fan brush - a fan shaped brush with hairs of two different lengths. The longer black ones are very airily packed and allows picking up a fairy kiss's amount of product. The shorter and firmer brown hairs allows for some light blending. I don't know what these hairs are, but I'm seeing a generic "natural" when I search. I'm guessing pony and dyed goat.
- MAC 187 Duo Fiber Face brush - I use this for blush, but it also works for foundations. It is a blend of goat and sythentic fibers. Like the TM fan brush, the longer hairs are very lightly packed and performs similarly to the fan brush in terms of pigmentation pick up and depositing.
- Tom Ford Cheek is super dense. The goat hairs are soft, but has a lot of resilience and less give compared to all the other brushes.
- Chikuhodo Artist Red 16-1 is incredibly soft and dense, but less so than the Tom Ford and more so than the SUQQU.
- SUQQU Cheek is super soft, like the Chikuhodo Artist Red, but coupled with the airiness of the lack of density makes it magically soft all around.
- Koyudo Canadian Squirrel feel less soft than the SUQQU or the Chikuhodo grey squirrels, more slightly more soft than the Tom Ford goat hair. It is much denser than the SUQQU, and slightly more dense than the Chukuhodo. It is less dense than the Tom Ford.
- Trish McEvoy Fan Brush - is not terribly soft, but because the long hairs are so sparsely distributed, it feels very soft on the skin.
- MAC 187 like the Trish doesn't have the softness of the other all natural hair brushes, but the very loose density of the long hairs makes it feel very soft on the skin.

The Imhoff tank is a primary treatment technology for raw wastewater, designed for solid-liquid separation and digestion of the settled sludge. It consists of a V-shaped settling compartment above a tapering sludge digestion chamber with gas vents. In the digestsion chamber, the settled solids are anaerobically digested generating biogas. The gas is deflected by baffles to the gas vent channels to prevent it from disturbing the settling process. Imhoff tanks are used by small communities and due to the underground construction, land use is very limited. Investment costs are low and operation and maintenance simple. But the treatment efficiency is low and a secondary treatment of the effluent is required. Moreover, the tanks must be desludged regularly.
Blackwater (settled), Faecal Sludge, (Biogas)
The Imhoff tank (also known as Emscherbrunnen or Emscher Tank), which works similar to a communal septic tank, is a robust and effective settler that causes a suspended solids reduction of 50 to 70%, COD reduction of 25 to 50%, and leads to potentially good sludge stabilisation – depending on the design and conditions. It is a compact and efficient system for pre-treatment of municipal wastewater. The settling compartment has a circular or rectangular shape with V-shaped walls and a slot at the bottom, allowing solids to settle into the digestion compartment, while preventing foul gas from rising up and disturbing the settling process. Gas produced in the digestion chamber rises into the gas vents at the edge of the reactor. It transports sludge particles to the water surface, creating a scum layer. The sludge accumulates in the sludge digestion chamber, and is compacted and partially stabilised through anaerobic digestion. The liquid fraction remains only some hours in the tank, while the solids remain for several years in the digestion chamber. There is more biogas production than in septic tanks, but unfortunately the organic load in communal wastewater is usually not high enough for the economical collection and usage (or flaring) of biogas (HOFFMANN et al. 2011). The pre-treated wastewater from the Imhoff tank requires a secondary treatment (e.g. leach field, soak pits, horizontal flow, vertical flow or free-surface constructed wetlands). Also the faecal sludge needs to be correctly disposed and further treated (e.g. small or large scale composting, settling - thickening ponds or drying beds). If the sludge is composted either directly or after drying, it can be used as fertiliser to improve the soil quality (see also use of compost or fertiliser from sludge).
The Imhoff tank is designed with three compartments (see picture below):
Scum and gas vent chambers are located at the sides of the tank. It can be an open or covered tank (WSP 2007). A covered tank avoids infiltration of precipitation and pollutants. However, it is always preferred to cover the tank to prevent contact with people and animals (see also water sanitation and health or health risk management). An outlet for desludging can be added.
The Imhoff tank is usually built underground with reinforced concrete. It can, however, also be built above ground, which makes sludge removal easier due to gravity, although still requiring pumping up of the influent. Small prefabricated Imhoff tanks are also available on the market. Hydraulic retention time is usually not more than 2 to 4 h to preserve an aerobic effluent for further treatment or discharge (find other treatment technologies here and also under http://ecompendium.sswm.info/sanitation-technologies). T-shaped pipes or baffles are used at the inlet and the outlet to reduce velocity and prevent scum from leaving the system. The total water depth in the tank from the bottom to the water surface may reach 7 to 9.5 m. The bottom of the settling compartment is typically sloped 1.25 to 1.75 vertical to 1 horizontal and the slot opening can be 150 to 300 mm wide. The walls of the sludge digestion compartment should have an inclination of 45° or more. This allows the sludge to slide down to the centre where it can be removed. Dimensioning of the anaerobic digestion compartment depends mainly on sludge production per population equivalent, on the targeted degree of sludge stabilisation (linked to the desludging frequency) and the temperature. The digestion chamber is usually designed for 4 to 12 months sludge storage capacity to allow for sufficient anaerobic digestion. In colder climates longer sludge retention time and, therefore, a greater volume is needed. For desludging, a pipe and pump have to be installed or access provided for vacuum trucks and mobile pumps (see also motorised emptying and transport). A bar screen or grit chamber (see pre-treatment technologies) is recommended before the Imhoff tank to prevent coarse material from disturbing the system.
As the effluent is almost odourless, it is a good option for primary treatment if subsequent treatment takes place, e.g., in open ponds, constructed wetlands (see also vertical flow constructed wetland, horizontal flow constructed wetland or free-water surface constructed wetland) or trickling filters. Greenhouse gases produced in low quantities may, however, generate odours locally. Pathogen removal is low and all outputs should be treated before they are used e.g. for irrigation or as fertiliser. Although the removal of pathogens is not high, the entire tank is usually below the surface so users do not come in contact with any of the wastewater. Adequate protective clothing is necessary for workers who may get in contact with the effluent, scum or sludge. A vacuum truck should be used to empty the sludge, if there is no pumped outlet installed. Users should not attempt to empty the pit themselves except with a manual technology like the gulper (see also motorised emptying and human-powered emptying). Users should be careful when opening the tank because noxious and flammable gases may be released.
Construction costs are slightly higher than the costs for a septic tank (SANIMAS 2005). Also the costs for desludging (motorised or manual) must be considered. Moreover, it is a pre-treatment facility and in many cases connected to further treatment installations (e.g. leach field, soak pits, horizontal flow, vertical flow or free-surface constructed wetlands).
Operation and maintenance (click here for further information on operation and maintenance) are possible at low cost, if trained personnel are in charge. Flow paths have to be kept open and cleaned out weekly, while scum in the settling compartment and the gas vents has to be removed daily if necessary. Regular cleaning of the sides of the settling chamber and slot by rake or squeegee is very important. Another activity, which should be done twice a month is to reversing the flow (backwash) of water to even up the solids in the digestion chamber (WSP 2007; SANIMAS 2005; SASSE 1998). Stabilised sludge from the bottom of the digestion compartment should be removed according to the design. The sludge can be removed by pumping or hydraulic pressure pipes right from the bottom or by a vacuum truck (see also motorised emptying). A minimum clearance of 50 cm between the sludge blanket and the slot of the settling chamber has to be ensured at all times.
Working Principle
Settling of solids occurs in the upper compartment. Sludge falls through the slot to the bottom of the settling compartment into the lower tank, where it is digested.
Imhoff tanks ar
e used by small communities for primary treatment of grey- and blackwater.
Construction costs are slightly higher than the costs of a septic tank.
Self-help Compatibility
Requires expert design, but can be constructed with locally available material.
Should be checked for water tightness, scum and sludge levels regularly. Sludge needs to be dug out every 1 to 5 years and discharged properly (e.g. in composting or drying bed). Needs to be vented.
Reliable if amply designed and desludging carried out routinely. Imhoff tanks are resistant against shock loads.
Main strength
Simple to construct and to operate.
Main weakness
Imhoff tanks are recommended for domestic or mixed wastewater flows between 50 and 20,000 population equivalents. They are able to treat high organic loads and are resistant against organic shock loads. Space requirements are low. Normally, Imhoff tanks are used by small communities with raw wastewater flows on the order of 950 m3/day (population about 8000 people or 1300 households) (WSP 2007).
Imhoff tanks can be used in warm and cold climates (wastewater temperatures below 15°C or above 2000 m altitude; minimum winter temperature is 8°C, average for the year is 20°C) (HOFFMANN et al. 2011). As the tank is very high, it can be built underground if the groundwater table is low and the location is not flood prone. If constructed underground, land use is very limited and Imhoff tanks can be constructed in both, rural or urban areas. Investment costs are low and operation and maintenance simple.

This publication intends to help spread awareness and knowledge about the technology of subsurface flow constructed wetlands in developing countries. Constructed wetlands (CWs) can be used as part of decentralised wastewater treatment systems, due to their "robust", "low-tech" nature with none or few moving parts (pumps) and relatively low operational requirements. CWs can be used for the treatment of domestic and municipal wastewater or greywater, and play an important role in many ecological sanitation (ecosan) concepts.

This case study is about a full-scale residential settlement project in an urban area in Hamburg, Germany. The settlement was built between 1982 and 1994 and consists of 36 single-family houses with approx. 140 inhabitants. The project aims at having an ecological closed-loop process via on-site wastewater treatment and therefore independence from a sewage system. Rainwater harvesting, composting toilets and constructed wetlands were the technologies applied in the project. Thereby a high resource and energy efficiency can be achieved.

Episode #351 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.
Every week (on Saturday), the blog hosts a link exchange between Hugh McGuire (PressBooks, Librivox, etc...), Alistair Croll (BitCurrent, Year One Labs, GigaOM, Human 2.0, Solve For Interesting, the author of Complete Web Monitoring, Managing Bandwidth: Deploying QOS in Enterprise Networks, etc...), and me. It wasn't a random selection of people. I chose Hugh and Alistair because they come from diverse backgrounds and are people who - no matter what the occasion - keep me on my intellectual toes. In short, these two are too smart for their own good, and hanging out with them makes me want to learn more and do more and be smarter. Alistair has had a fascinating career. Most recently, he co-authored a book called, Lean Analytics - Use Data To Build A Better Startup Faster, with Ben Yoskovitz. In this episode, we debunk the whole "lean" model and discuss what data is useful and what data is clouding our judgment. I hope you learn as much as I did from this chat. Enjoy the conversation...

They have 5 or 6 big tents paid for by corporate sponsors and all I wanted to do was get on the list of university-approved caterers. The U of I told me to send them a $1000.00 and then they'd look at my insurance, background, equipment, and menu. The $1000.00 was non refundable no matter what they decided. LOL So I dropped that but I may do it next year, when money is not so tight. The money at these events is great but the U of I wants a cut of firstname.lastname@example.com

Hotcoat Powder Mirror Green
Mirror Green – EW 10293
Do The Job Right with Eastwood Powders!
Provides extremely durable finish
Contains no environmentally harmful solvents
100% Virgin powder
Impact resistant and flexibility
Good chemical resistance
Eastwood Powders are far superior to liquid coatings. They provide an extremely durable finish that is chip resistant. All Powders are formulated of the highest quality materials and are chemical and fuel resistant. Eastwood Powders are durable enough for under hood applications and heat resistant up to 250 degrees F. They are suitable for any metal surface and most cure at a temperature of 400 degrees F at 20 minutes after flow out. With Eastwood powders, you can be assured of high transfer efficiency and brilliant colors.
Color: Mirror Green
Gloss Level: Gloss 95±5
Cure Temperature: 400 Degrees
Cure Time: 20 Minutes after flowout
Powder Type: Polyester TGIC
Finish: Smooth
Coverage: 1/2 lb. of powder is approximately 10-20 sq. ft.
When applying powder always apply it in a well ventilated area away from heat sparks and open flame. Always use a respirator rated for dust while applying powder. Always store powders in cool (less than 80 degrees Fahrenheit) dry (60 percent or less humidity) well ventilated area away from heat sparks and open flame.
CLEAN - Thoroughly strip and clean your metal part before coating. We recommend Eastwood Pre Painting Prep.
COAT - Apply using Eastwood DIY HotCoat Gun 11671A or the Eastwood Dual Voltage HotCoat Gun 11678.
CURE - Cure the part in an electric oven for recommended time. NEVER use an oven that is used for food.

Why powder coat? Because it gives you one of the most economical, color-durable, and longest-lasting finishes available. You'll find powder-coated surfaces are far more resistant to chipping, scratches, fading, and wear than other finishes, and the color selection is virtually unlimited, with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. And thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, plus rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
One 8-oz. bottle of powder covers the same area as 2-3 cans of spray paint, and clean-up is easy, since you can simply sweep-up the over-sprayed powder. Contains no environmentally harmful solvents. HotCoat Powder Coating System requires a 5-10psi compressed air source and dedicated electric oven (or toaster oven).
Application Note: Final appearance of Translucent and Candy powders will be affected by applied powder thickness, substrate and application techniques.
Use a disposable dust mask when handling or applying powder. Powder, like common flour, can be explosive when suspended in the air in high concentrations. To minimize any explosion risk, sweep up—do not vacuum—powder from the floor. Cure powder in a well-ventilated area. The urethane powders we sell liberate a very minute amount of isocyanates when the powder flows out. This usually occurs about 3-5 minutes after the part is placed in the oven to bake. Wear a respirator with fresh cartridges when curing or inspecting flow-out progress.

Growing Green: Proper Use of Garden Insecticides
The warm, humid days of summer have finally arrived, and with them come a variety of insects that threaten our gardens. Colorado potato beetles, aphids, leaf hoppers, cucumber beetles and numerous others are very active this time of year, and many home owners choose to use insecticides to rid themselves of these pests and the damage they wreak.
If you go out to your garden and discover an insect invasion, the first thing you need to do is identify the invader in question. There are many beneficial insects in Minnesota, and you don't want to destroy these populations. (Beneficial insects are any of a number of species of insects that perform valued services like pollination and pest control.) Honey bees, lacewings, a variety of beetles, syrphid flies, spechid wasps and ambush bugs are all beneficial insects we want to keep in our gardens. To identify your garden pests, try out the "What Insect is this?" diagnostic tool at http://www.extension.umn.edu/gardeninfo/insectgallery.
If you have an insect pest, chose a product that states it is effective against that insect. Also, consider the type of plant to which you will be applying the insecticide. If you are applying an insecticide to a food producing plant, make sure that the product states that it is safe to use on food crops. I can't tell you how often I have had to disappoint a gardener who had selected the wrong chemical with the advice: "Don't harvest and eat the veggies on the plants you have sprayed!" Read and understand all label instructions before purchasing the product. If you have questions, ask the specialist in your store, or call the Extension office before bringing the product home.
When using the product, follow application instructions precisely. MORE IS NOT BETTER! The directions are your contract with the producer that you will apply it correctly. Incorrect application of insecticides can kill the plants to which they are applied, or can make you ill. Be very careful in application and accurate in measuring and mixing chemicals. To be on the safe side, try ready-to-use chemicals instead of concentrates.Fortunately, you have many organic and synthetic choices available. Pesticides such as insecticidal soaps, Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), NEEM, horticultural oils, pyrethrins and rotenone are all organically derived. This does not mean that they are not toxic to humans and wildlife. Read the label to familiarize yourself with the hazards of using any product you select, and the precautions you must take in their use.

Cleveland's All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who left Tuesday's game with a sprained right ankle, is in the lineup for the Indians' contest against the New York Yankees.
Cabrera twisted his ankle while making a leaping throw in the third inning Tuesday. He backhanded Francisco Cervelli's grounder in the hole, but landed awkwardly after making a leaping throw. Cabrera remained in the game, but was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the fourth.
Cabrera convinced manager Manny Acta that he would be able to play in the series finale with the Yankees.
Cabrera, who has started all 85 games, is batting .292 with a career-high 14 homers and 49 RBIs and has made several spectacular plays in the field.

Busy. Very busy.
Charity deals for XBLIG version of Clover: A Curious Tale have been going on for literally months. It would seem no-one wants my money. New game concepts and prototypes have been and gone. I've been looking at game/web experience crossover projects. I've been doing a spot of web freelancing to pay the bills. There's an exciting new business opportunity in an incredibly tedious sector on the cards.
Whilst grander game plans wait to see if they're practical, I've got another idea up my sleeve. One you'll all hate, if I've done my job right.

Life after Life, Kate Atkinson(74 Posts)
I advanced ordered this for my kindle, which I left on the bus and have yet to retrieve from the bus station.
So has anyone read it yet?
It seems like it's going back to her first books pre Jackson Brodie and I can't wait to read it.
Latin (and Janey) - I think you're right about Ursula not being able to control everything.
I would love KA to come on for a webchat. We could ask her all these questions!
About Kindles - I am very devoted to my Kindle, but the flicking thing can be a major problem in any book that is long or complicated. I am currently reading I, Claudius, and there are so many characters, and they're all either related to each other or married to and then divorced from each other, and they often have similar names, so it's incredibly confusing. I would love to be able to flick back!
Really enjoy KA's writing. Perhaps this could be a MN bookclub book when it comes out in paperback? Tilly are you around...?!
Really enjoy KA's writing. Perhaps this could be a MN bookclub book when it comes out in paperback? Tilly are you around...?!
hi gailforce1, will flag for Tilly. Have you seen this?
I love KA. Just checked my local
totally useless library and the estimated wait to get this book is 3073 days!!!
Thank you GeraldineMumsnet, I only discovered KA because of MN along with many other authors and books.
DewDr0p I had to wait a long time for my copy from the library but they do order more copies if lots of people place reservations so I hope that yours will too!
Thank you everyone. I've just returned from seeing KA at the Sydney Writers Festival and while I absolutely loved the book, I was also confused about Teddy at the end. I wanted to ask her about it but thought it might be rude. Came home and after some googling found you guys and feel I now have a better grasp of the ending!!
just finished it and although I got very confused, thought it was beautifully written. I love her humour which does permeate despite truly awful scenes.
And my dad was in Bomber Command and flew Halifaxes, so I had a special soft spot for Teddy.
This was the first book I've read on my new birthday kindle. Am so appreciative of the comments about flicking, because this was a book I really would have liked to do some flicking with and I thought I was being dim at not being about to flick back and forth on kindle. Turns out you can't.
Is it just me or is this book a great deal more literary than the rest of her books?
Was glad of the kindle for some of the references. Not that I mind that, I just marvel at how versatile she is. From Tracey in 'Started Early ...' to Ursula. I loved both of them but they are so different.
I've always thought she was quite literary, but she is so light-handed in her intelligence. When will there be good news had loads of literary allusions in it (probably loads more that I missed!), just thrown in, thrown away.
I love her writing (can you tell?!). Her plots are great - fantastical admittedly - and her characters memorable, yet believable. And she's jokey and slightly cynical. Fab writer.
I've just finished this book and loved it. She writes so incredibly movingly and the second world war stuff was fascinating.
I loved Hugh and would like to have known more about his marriage to Sylvie. Who was she with that day that Ursula saw her in London? What went wrong at the end that they were increasingly snappy with each other.
So many questions unanswered but that's what I love about her writing.
I loved this but wish I could have read it I one ir 2 sittings. With a baby and a 2 year old I ended up reading a page here and a page there.
I wondered if perhaps Izzies baby grows up to be a German soldier who kills Teddy... so Rolands being kept by the family and the frowning saves Teddys life?
The Blitz stuff was fantastic and reminded me of Sarah Waters Nightwatch.
Overall my favourite KA since Behins the Scenes ATM.
Eek drowning not frowning
or nor ir.
Typing on phone at 4am while BFing baby, sorry.
Another who loved the book but was confused by the ending. But I've let it slightly wash over me and my overall view is she kept going until she got it right-ish but wasn't able to influence whole world events (like no WW2) just outcomes (Teddy's death) iyswim. The piece where she kills Frieda was devastating.
Really loved this book, but was also confused by the ending, first I thought she had killed Hitler and for some reason Teddy knew this and was saying thank you..........I think Teddy was alive the whole time, I have to go back and reread this it though, maybe I'll gain more understanding.......
Another confused one her who although I couldn't understand the ambiguity of it just loved it from start to finish.Something about KAs style of prose draws me into all of her books,and I completely lost myself in an almost dreamlike state whilst reading it.The closest thing to time travel I'm likely to experience!
Just finished it quietly now out in a quiet corner of the garden having deceived to abandon all jobs for an hour and just immerse myself in it and feel bereft now.Will certainly re-read Behind the Scenes now as it's been on my mind to do that previously.
Meant to say having decided not deceived !
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Just finished this. Fell very flat for me at the end. DH always says I don't 'get' plots (sadly true!) so perhaps that was my problem, but I couldn't keep any of the lives straight or work out which was meant to be her 'true' life (if there even was one - I wanted there to be). I enjoyed the writing and the characters tremendously but honestly felt it would have read better as a straightforward story arc!
Wish she'd get back to Jackson Brodie, actually. I don't think any of her other novels have ever lived up to BTSATM.
Ha ha, I keep coming back to this thread .
Bue, the details of the book are starting to fade a bit for me now, but I think some of the flatness is the futility of the always-replayed lives, even when Ursula gets it mostly right. (Ie the last life, Teddy survives, Nancy survives, and yet, it still goes back to the beginning. ) I think it's supposed to feel a bit bleak and futile, maybe? I felt it was anyway.
alpinemeadow I didn't really pick up on the headaches carrying through her lives. Could it be just all the noise in her head from experiences carried over from different lives?
(Incidentally, one of my favourite lines is when she stops them all getting Spanish flu by inventing the maid's sweetheart being unfaithful, then says something like 'well at least no-one got pushed down the stairs' and then they all look at her like .
I agree with you about seemingly significant events that then don't crop again. In one life she meets a woman by a water pump in London during the war, and it feels like a connection, and that this woman will play a bigger part in another life. But no, we don't hear of her again. Do you think it, again, is just noise? ie Ursula has mixed-up half experiences from many lives going round in her head, and sometimes they get a bit confused. Don't really know tbh.
I loved this book Bue (can you tell ?) but I also loved When Will There be Good News, despite the fairly dark subject matter. I loved the self-possession and competence of Joanna Hunter and the cinematic ending (don't want to spoil) of her exit at the derelict house with her baby. I loved Reggie's innate intelligence. And Louise's messed-up attitude to love. Could go on and on . . . !
I just finished Life After Life after an intensive weekend reading session. I loved the two particularly difficult loops that Ursula has to try so hard to get out of (Spanish Flu "Darkness, and so on", and Argyll Road which becomes so sad by the final time). Teddy is just wonderful.
I'm reading this at the moment, and really enjoying it. Found the first few chapters hard to read (because of the sadness of the subject matter, not the confusing structure, although that took a little getting used to as well). I think it's my favourite KA book since BTSATM, due to the richness and general likeability of the characters.
I'm about 50 pages from the end (iPhone pages anyway) so i haven't read this thread very closely in case of spoilers . But I'll be back.
I loved it and am a huge KA fan anyway. Agree that it's more similar to Behind the Scenes. Aside from the wonderful characters (she does Hugh and Sylvie so well -wonder what her parents are like!) I just love the attention to detail and it must have taken a huge amount of research. And the blitz accounts really draw you in.
I also think the different scenes illustrate that yes, you can change things to an extent but that to an extent there are elements out of an individual's controle. Eg the Hitler scenes that were thrown in there. Did I imagine it or was there reference to some of his cronies? Si she could assassinate Hitler but there was someone waiting in the wings who would wreak just as much carnage anyway?
I would love to see an account by Teddy too.
Just finished this. Someone asked what broke in Hugh and Sylvie's marriage and caused them to be increasingly snappy with each other. Wasn't this mentioned by Ursula's sister Pamela in the life when Ursula was in the abusive marriage to Derek? I thought at the time I read it that Hugh's love for Sylvie had died a bit when he saw how appallingly heartless she was to Ursula over the abortion and not having remained intact (as she puts it). Ursula says in that life after the abortion that Sylvie had loved her but now she didn't and I thought maybe Hugh's love for Sylvie died alongside it. Also when Nancy is killed Sylvie makes a comment suggesting it's their mother's fault for letting her daughters roam around and Hugh says something like "Oh Sylvie, where is your heart? " I think those circumstances show him a side to Sylvie that might not have been so apparent in the lives where she avoids the rape and Nancy's death.

Plans for a prestigious Georgian-style development on the site of the former Spalding tax office have been welcomed by South Holland District Council.
The development will see the historic Holland House converted into five flats and the demolition of the old Government office to make way for four two-bedroom and two one-bedroom apartments, five three-bedroom, three storey town terraced town houses, two two-bedroom, semi-detached town houses and three two-bedroom terraced houses.
In spite of the loss of office space in the town, councillors were told this would be the "best solution" for the site.
The plan was granted subject to applicant D and R Property Services contributing £56,536 towards the council's affordable housing provision.
Coun Howard Johnson said: "I know this part of town as I walk along the river. The building has been a massive eyesore and this will be much better."
Coun Rita Rudkin said: "Holland House is some of the best architecture in town and I hope it will continue to be an architectural gem and something I can say 'wow' to."
'Save our tax office' campaigner Coun Christine Lawton said she was sorry to see the jobs go, but the development was very welcomed.
l Three new affordable homes are being unveiled by South Holland District Council tomorrow in Puddingpoke Lane, Lutton. A presentation ceremony involving Ian Canham, the managing director of Broadgate Homes, Coun Lawton, as portfolio holder, and local councillors is being held at the new houses in the morning.

text: Often acknowledged as one of the best Role-Playing Games ever (even if arguably worse than its sequel), Baldurs Gate did broke some boundaries, but lacks some things other RPGs have, released both earlier and later. However, it meant the practical start of BioWare as we know it today, and most of their RPGs have been working upon that which Baldurs Gate set (or not). For that reason, most of the traits and features we usually find in BioWares titles are also present in this game, for the good and for the bad. Lets look at it in detail

The widow of the late TD, Liam Lawlor, has lost her High Court action to prevent the Mahon Planning Tribunal from proceeding with the Quarryvale Two module, which is due to begin on Monday.
Hazel Lawlor, of Somerton House, Lucan in Co Dublin had sought a stay on the start of the module, which will examine the rezoning of land in west Dublin, pending the outcome of judicial review proceedings she is taking.
In those proceedings she was seeking to stop the tribunal making findings of serious misconduct against her and her late husband, unless supported by evidence proven beyond reasonable doubt.
During a three-day hearing this week, Mrs Lawlor's legal team argued that the tribunal had destroyed the life of her husband, herself and her family, and had displayed a vindictive and vengeful attitude towards Mr Lawlor.
She argued that she had been left in dire financial circumstances, with six judgments registered against her late husband's estate by the tribunal for costs.
If a stay were not granted pending the judicial review, she said, irreparable damage could be done to her late husband, his estate, herself and her family.
But lawyers for the tribunal argued that Mrs Lawlor had no legal right to defend the reputation of her late husband.
It also said no allegations had been made against her, and there was nothing to suggest that the tribunal was prejudiced against her. In relation to the judgments, it said no proceedings were in place to enforce them.
While the State argued that there was a significant public interest in the completion of the Mahon Tribunal.
In his judgment, Mr Justice Iarfhlaith O'Neill found that Mrs Lawlor did have legal standing to proceed with her judicial review proceedings on a number of grounds.
But he found that none of the grounds submitted were sufficient to grant a stay on the commencement of the tribunal hearing.
He also said that on the balance of convenience, her application should also fail.
Mrs Lawlor was not the only person to be affected by the tribunal proceeding he said.
Many other claims had been made in the tribunal's opening statement and the people concerned had not been given an opportunity to address them since October 2005, because of other legal action.
He said there was a very great public interest in having the matters before the tribunal dealt with expeditiously.
The Oireachtas had set it up, and both it and the public had a right to see an outcome as soon as possible he said. The longer it went on, the more the quality of the inquiry was susceptible to hazard, he added.
In relation to delay, he said he had the utmost sympathy for Mrs Lawlor in relation to her husband's death and the taking on of the burden.
But he said the proceedings had not been moved on with the required promptness, and could have been progressed a lot sooner.

Meeting a couple, one of whom neither eats meat nor fish, to see a show at the museum in downtown Newark. They'll have a car but we don't want to have to drive too far away and then drive us back to Newark Penn Station. Not sure if down neck Portuguese restaurants would have much of a non-fish vegetarian selection. Same with the various Latin restaurants in Kearney and Harrison across the river. Italian hot dogs at Dickie Dees are, alas, obviously out. Was thinking of the Belmont Tavern in Bloomfield but that is a bit far out and haven't been there for years.
