Before You Begin
What's included in my price?
Your final price includes room and all hotel taxes. It does not include items such as charges for meals, parking, rollaway beds, telephone, valet and room service, or any other items of a personal nature. Therefore, a credit card is still needed at hotel check in, even if your room is prepaid as a part of your tour package. The registration form lists all items included and is available on our website: www.allseasonssportstravel.com.
You are responsible for planning and paying for items that are not part of your tour package. Some meals may be included, check the tour inclusions to determine what (if any) meals are included. Each tour is planned with specific inclusions based on the event. As items included will always vary, be sure to review what is included in the package and what's not. Ask our travel professional to review the trip with you. Often we can assist with booking what you need individually to work within requirements of the tour (airfare, extra nights at hotel, events, and other transportation).
What should you expect on a tour?
Many people feel tours are the best way to travel because they are professionally planned and escorted with all the details handled by one of our travel professionals (payment requirement, confirmations, etc.). Your time is maximized which improves the overall enjoyment of your trip.
Why should I choose a tour?
Professionally escorted tours are a great, worry-free way to see a game or visit new places. All Seasons Sports Travel was opened in 1970 for sports tours. With almost 45 years' experience, you can trust that the package tours you book will receive the highest level of quality, service and value for your dollar. All Seasons Sports Travel is the official travel agency for the University of Alabama, the University of Tennessee and the University of Kentucky Alumni Association. We also organize trips for Auburn University.
Is a tour more expensive?
Not usually. People sometimes think the tour price seems more expensive. In order to accurately compare price, you must add tips, taxes, transfers, party cost, souvenirs, and tickets (not always included in package price) to see the difference. Don't forget to add in the value for your time and the hassle of making all of the calls and arrangements yourself to see what a value our packages offer. When you add it all up, our tour package affords you the best value and ease, as we take care of the details. Plus, you can't put a price on the camaraderie and fun you experience when you travel with other fans. Most of our customers are loyal fans and travel to every game with us.
Can I make a special request?
Yes. We will be happy to make a request on your behalf; however, keep in mind that it is a REQUEST, not a guarantee. We do our very best to accommodate your needs to make your stay comfortable.
Can I earn reward points?
Since we prepay for your room, you will not earn hotel reward points. However, you may wish to check with the hotel to see if you can earn points for purchases while staying at the hotel. If you are traveling on a major airline, you can earn frequent flyer points (you must provide us or the airlines with your account number). If the air portion in the package is on a charter plane, then you cannot earn frequent flyer points.
I found a better price, why would I book your tour?
Service, experience and quality. We send an experienced tour guide to travel with you, and we only work with the best vendors to ensure quality equipment and dependability. What good is saving a few dollars if you arrive late to the tailgate party, miss kick-off or part of the game? We know from past experience the best companies to work with. Our choices are based on personal experience and customer comments. We factor in the time allotment necessary to maneuver in heavy traffic and large crowds.
What is a "land-only" package?
A land-only package includes all the items listed as "tour package features" EXCEPT for air transportation, airport/hotel transfers and baggage handling. This simply means that your tour package only includes the hotel portion. Your tour begins at check-in and ends when you check out of the hotel. You are responsible for arranging your own roundtrip transportation to the hotel. This type of tour allows for flexibility, use of frequent flyer miles or departure from various cities. Of course, one of our travel professionals can book individual airfare for you upon request.
If I'm not traveling, can I make a reservation for someone else?
When completing the reservation, use the name of the person for whom you are making the reservation. When entering credit card information, you may use your credit card and billing address for payment.
What does "Single, Double, Triple, Quad" mean?
Single, Double, Triple, and Quad refer to how many adults (13 and over) are sharing each room. For example, if 2 adults wish to stay in the same room, the price would be the double price and this would be per person.
What does the child price mean?
Children's prices are limited to those 12 years of age or under sharing a room with one or more adults and using existing bedding. For example, if the room is shared with one adult, the single rate applies as the adult's price plus the child's price. If the room is shared with two adults, the double rate applies as the adult's price plus the child's price.
Are rates for children & infants different?
Any child age 0-2 years of age is considered an infant and may travel at no additional charge if the child is held on the parent's lap during transportation. However, you will need to purchase a ticket for your child to attend the game or other events. Make sure you advise our travel professional, so that a notation is made in the file. You may wish to ask that we request a crib at the hotel at that time.
Ages 2 – 12 would be considered a child. The hotel usually does not charge for a child in the same room with two paying adults. Policies vary at each hotel and once you advise us of the age(s) of children traveling with you, we will confirm the hotel's policy. Tour prices for children are in addition to the adult prices. A child will still need to pay for other inclusions in package (meals, tickets, transfers).
I live near the university but my friend lives in another state, can we still take a package and room together?
Absolutely. You can join us on one of our air packages and your friend can book a land-only package.
Do I need travel insurance?
Due to the high dollar amount of our packages, we recommend the purchase of appropriate insurance coverage. Medical insurance policies may not protect your travels away from home and often have out-of-network deductibles. Likewise, coverage through credit cards and travel suppliers can have shortfalls and not fully protect you. For additional information, please see our travel insurance section. Our packages are non-refundable even in the event of an emergency.
Making a Reservation
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept all major credits cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Debit cards featuring the Visa or MasterCard logo are also accepted, however, please be advised these types of cards typically have a maximum amount that you may charge daily. Please check with your financial institution.
I'm traveling with other couples and would like to have our rooms and game tickets near each other. Is this possible?
Yes. If you are booking online, please indicate the last name (at a minimum) of the other couple(s) you'll be traveling with in the request field. We will make every effort to accommodate your request.
How can I book your tour packages?
You can register & book our packages on our website: www.allseasonssportstravel.com. We typically offer both a "printable" registration form that can be filled out, mailed or faxed. Or for greater convenience, we offer an online registration form that will electronically transmit your registration information to our groups department.
If you ever have any questions regarding your registration process, you can call and speak to a professional group agent, available from Monday to Friday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM (CST) at (205) 623-2218 or (855) 788-1036 (outside Birmingham). If you are calling after hours, our recorded message will direct you to the extension necessary to leave a message. Your call will be returned the following business day
The hotel doesn't have my reservation or name?
No need to panic, we have your reservation. Our rooms are generally held in a block that has been arranged with the hotel's sales department, and often are pre-paid and non-refundable. We agree to specific dates for reporting the names of guest to the hotel. Hotel rules for group travel differ from individual bookings. Your printed confirmation from us is all you need.
What do I need when I check into my hotel?
You will need a credit card for incidentals. If you do not have a credit card, you may leave a cash deposit for incidentals, however you may want to contact the hotel prior to arrival to determine the amount required.
When can I check in?
Check-in time is usually between 3:00 pm & 4:30 pm. You may check to see when your room will be available when you arrive at the hotel. Your room will be prepaid; however, a major credit card is still necessary for incidentals (such as phone charges, mini-bar purchases or movie rental). Most hotels are willing to store your luggage until your room is available. This allows you time to enjoy some activities upon arrival.
Can I check in early or check out late?
You need to check with the hotel directly for either an early check-in or late check-out. An early check-in is usually based on the availability of a room; therefore it cannot be determined until your arrival. In some cases a charge may be incurred for late check out. Should you determine that you need an extra night at the hotel, we will be happy to make arrangements for you.
What size is a triple or quad room?
A triple/quad room is the same size as a double-bedded room and beds will accommodate three or four people; but there will not be three or four separate beds. A rollaway may be requested but cannot be guaranteed due to size of room and fire codes.
What if I require a rollaway bed in my room?
A rollaway may only be added to King-bedded rooms and will incur extra charges. Tour participant will incur the charges directly from the hotel as an incidental charge. Requests for a roll-away is subject to hotel availability and varying fire and safety laws.
What about bed sizes in my room?
Bed sizes are handled as a request at all hotels, and we are happy to request your preference. If you prefer two double beds or one king size, let us know and we will do our best. Since the hotels are usually full at game time, our reserved block of rooms may be for a specific type, so we may be able to advise you of the bed type at registration.
I'd like to have a smoking room. Is one available at the hotel?
Should you require a smoking room, you may request one at the time of booking; however, many hotels are now smoke-free, including the accommodations, restaurants and lobby areas. Should a tour participant disregard the hotel's smoking policy, the hotel may charge the guest a financial penalty in order to get the room back to a smoke-free environment. Please be sure to read the smoking policy posted in your hotel room for specific information and charges.
Can I extend my stay?
If you purchase a land-only package, typically you can add additional pre or post nights to your travel package. Contact one of our agents for pricing and availability.
Can you guarantee a certain hotel?
Our tour packages generally list the hotel we are including; however, we reserve the right to substitute with a similar type hotel, if necessary. Should this happen, you will be advised prior to travel.
Game Tickets
What if I have my own tickets to the game?
No problem. Our packages are sold with or without tickets. You may wish to purchase tickets through the Athletic Ticket Office, your athletic donor eligibility, or from other sources and then book our tour package. Whichever you prefer is fine with us.
Should you purchase game tickets elsewhere, a ticket deduction may be made from the cost of the tour package. Deduction amounts vary per tour package and must be taken by the specific date listed in the "Payment and Terms" section associated with the tour package.
I didn't receive any game tickets in my tour documents. When will I receive these?
If you purchased game tickets as part of your tour package, these are typically distributed once you arrive and check-in at the hotel.
Can I buy just game tickets?
Our packages are all inclusive and therefore, we do not offer just game tickets.
Why are my seats/tickets different from my home game seats?
Your seats are going to be different from home games. Seats will vary for regular season away games, but we try to obtain the best available. For post season bowl games or championships, neither team is truly considered the home team as it is not either team's field. All fans are visitors even if your team is designated as home team. The majority of highly preferred seating is assigned to TV stations, corporate donors, sponsors and university donors for bowl and championship games. Just like seats for regular season we try to get the best available seats for you.
Before Your Trip
When will I receive my tour documents?
Tour documents are typically sent via USPS Priority Mail or two to three weeks prior to travel. If you will not be at home during this time, please inform your booking agent so we may send your documents to an alternate address.
How much luggage can I bring?
When travelling with us on one of our air packages, we typically recommend one piece of checked luggage per person (50 lbs and under) and one carry-on. Since most of our larger group travel during post-season bowl games is on charter flights, we will advise in your itinerary if you may bring more than one piece of checked luggage. For smaller group tours travelling on commercial airlines during the fall season , we will provide the baggage regulations for each airline. Typically commercial airlines will charge for each piece of luggage that you check.

Norway Post has issued the stamp series features their marine fauna such as : shrimp, lobster, and crab on September 21, 2007. The issue stamps consist of 4 single stamps depicted Pink shrimp (Pandalus montagui), European lobster (Homarus gammarus), Edible brown crab (Cancer pagurus), Squat lobster (Galathea strigosa).
Pink shrimp
Pandalus montagui is a species of cold-water shrimp in the family Pandalidae. It is the type species of the genus Pandalus and is variously known as the pink shrimp, Aesop shrimp and Aesop prawn . Its range extends from Greenland and Iceland, the Arctic Ocean and northern Atlantic Ocean, south to Rhode Island and the British Isles.
Pandalus montagui is an omnivore, predator and scavenger. The diet consists mainly of small crustaceans such as copepods, hydroids and polychaete worms. Pandalus montagui is a translucent, pinkish shrimp, generally growing to about 5 centimetres long. The colour is due to a number of red chromatophores and there are also a few short red streaks running obliquely on the carapace.
Most individuals start life as males but change sex to females at 12–15 months. It prefers hard substrates but can be found on rock, gravel, sand and mud. It is most common at depths between 20 metres and 100 m but sometimes occurs near low water mark or at depths down to 700 m .
European lobster
Homarus gammarus, known as the European lobster or common lobster, is a species of clawed lobster and found across the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean from northern Norway to the Azores and Morocco, not including the Baltic Sea.
It may grow to a length of 60 cm and a mass of 6 kilograms , and bears a conspicuous pair of claws. In life, the lobsters are blue, only becoming "lobster red" on cooking. Homarus gammarus is a highly esteemed food, and is widely caught using lobster pots, mostly around the British Isles
Mating occurs in the summer, producing eggs which are carried by the females for up to a year before hatching into planktonic larvae. The diet of Homarus gammarus mostly consists of other benthic invertebrates. These include crabs, molluscs, sea urchins, starfish and polychaete worms.
It is also present in most of the Mediterranean Sea, only missing from the section east of Crete, and along only the north-west coast of the Black Sea. The northernmost populations are found in the Norwegian fjords Tysfjorden and Nordfolda, inside the Arctic Circle.
Adult Homarus gammarus live on the continental shelf at depths till 150 metres , although not normally deeper than 50 m . They prefer hard substrates, such as rocks or hard mud, and live in holes or crevices, emerging at night to feed.
Edible brown crab
Cancer pagurus, commonly known as the edible brown crab, is a species of crab found in the North Sea, North Atlantic Ocean and perhaps in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a robust crab of a reddish-brown colour, having an oval carapace with characteristic "pie crust" edge and black tips to the claws.
Males typically have a carapace 60 millimetres long, and females 98 mm long. Carapace width is typically 150 mm, or exceptionally up to 250 mm . A fold of the carapace extends ventrally to constitute a branchial chamber where the gills lie.
Cancer pagurus is a nocturnal predator, targeting a range of molluscs and crustaceans.Its hiding buried in the substrate during the day, but foraging at night up to 50 metres from their hideouts. Their diet includes a variety of crustaceans
Cancer pagurus is abundant throughout the northeast Atlantic as far as Norway in the north and northern Africa in the south, on mixed coarse grounds, mud and sand from the shallow sub-littoral to depths of about 100 metres . It is frequently found inhabiting cracks and holes in rocks but occasionally also in open areas.
Squat lobster
Galathea strigosa is a species of squat lobster found in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, from the Nordkapp to the Canary Islands, and in the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea. It is edible, but not fished for commercially. It is the largest squat lobster in the northeast Atlantic, reaching a length of 90 mm or a carapace length of 53 mm ,and is easily identified by the transverse blue stripes across the body.
Squat lobsters are decapod crustaceans of the families Galatheidae, Chirostylidae, Munididae, Munidopsidae and Kiwaidae, including the common genera Galathea and Munida. They are not lobsters, but are more closely related to porcelain crabs, hermit crabs and then, more distantly, true crabs. They are distributed worldwide in the oceans, and occur from near the surface to deep sea hydrothermal vents. There are currently 870 described species.
The body of a squat lobster is usually flattened, the abdomen is typically folded under itself, and the first pereiopods (front legs) are greatly elongated and armed with long chelae (claws). The fifth pair of pereiopods is usually hidden within the gill chamber, under the carapace, giving squat lobsters the appearance of having only eight pereiopods.

Posted by Chris Hering, Industry Manager, Media and Publishing, NetSuite
In this age of digital media, publishing companies are juggling an enormous array of media products, revenue models, advertising and sponsorship options, and delivery channels. Subscribers may pay by the day, month or per article, while advertisers may have bundled deals that include placement across several publications and websites, perhaps including diverse options such as video ads, specialized content or webinar sponsorships.
In such a mixed-media, mixed-revenue environment, publishers using traditional ERP tools often can't keep up. These legacy systems with individual, operational silos make it extremely difficult for publishers to see a complete picture of their business and, likewise, virtually impossible to cross data from different systems and analyze it before the data becomes obsolete. With each silo having its own set of workflow, it's impossible to follow a client's interactions with the company from first contact to invoice, or a creative content project as it moves from sales to finance to creative to production and fulfillment, then back to order renewal. Each of those is a distinct piece of a puzzle that can't ever be assembled.
Sometimes publishers will attempt to link their ERP and point solutions using an ad-hoc technical solution or manual programming, but the results are usually incomplete and require constant upkeep.
The solution that many leading publishing companies are adopting is a cloud-based ERP platform. A unified ERP platform with publishing-specific capabilities integrates data and workflow for project management and accounting, staff and freelance time and expense management, advertising sales, subscriber data, and analytics under one umbrella.
Specifically, cloud ERP can help publishers to:
To make sure that the cloud ERP platform you select provides that kind of visibility and control over your publishing data and business processes, you should evaluate it for four critical, functional capabilities. Those are:
Role-based dashboards. Dashboards let you see your most critical data, KPIs, reminders and reports right up front. Cloud-based dashboards can be customized for different roles and preferences to display a wide range of content—such as real-time graphs and charts, messages and emails, KPIs, calendar entries, deadlines, tasks, red alerts when important numbers go out of parameter, deadlines, and saved searches and reports.
Collaborative workflow. When you can link content and messages with workflow, collaborating becomes much easier. With a flexible, integrated platform, employees from different departments can easily communicate about customers, projects and other daily issues by associating workflow tasks, reminders, emails, alerts and reports. The recipient doesn't have to search for supporting information as it's all linked and in one place.
360-degree view of customers. With all client and project files linked together, managers and sales reps have a complete view of a client—all current and insertion orders, KPIs, emails, contracts, ad specs, etc. That's a competitive advantage to advertising reps, customer service reps, marketing managers and business analysts.
Real-time data and analysis tools. With access to real-time data, publishers not only see the latest results in time to correct course, but can analyze that data against other real-time or historical data to identify trends, perform what-if scenarios, and forecast future performance. In an industry that runs on constantly changing data—ad impressions, content downloads, conversions and costs—that's a valuable capability.
Publishers want to have better insight into campaign performance and not be forced into reactive corrections at the end of the month. A cloud-based ERP platform can give them that kind of visibility and control.

Books and articles about human cloning are rapidly filling bookstore shelves. There are a number of very good edited essay collections such as Martha C. Nussbaum and Cass R. Sunstein's Clones and Clones: Facts and Fantasies About Human Cloning (W.W. Norton and Company, 1998), Gregory E. Pence's Flesh of My Flesh: The Ethics of Cloning Humans: A Reader (Rowman and Littlefield, 1998), reviewed on this web site on April 21, 2000, Glenn C. McGee's The Human Cloning Debate (Berkeley Hills Books, 2000), and Barbara MacKinnon's Human Cloning: Science, Ethics, and Public Policy. (University of Illinois Press, 2000) to name but a few. Michael C. Brannigan's Ethical Issues in Human Cloning is the latest edition to this burgeoning genre. There are so many interesting articles exploring various ethical aspects of human cloning being published these days that there is clearly room for Brannigan's collection, even though a number of the essays contained in these collections is anthologized in more than one of the above volumes.
This collection includes some of the biggest names writing in science, bioethics and law today, Stephen Jay Gould, Leon Kass, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Callahan, and George Annas, among others. It is aimed at a wide educated audience and would be a good choice in an undergraduate course that explored the ethical issues involved with cloning and or genetics. It is divided into four parts, organized much like many of the volumes named above. Each part consists of a brief editorial introduction followed by a series of essays from a different general perspective; part one from the perspective of science, part two from religion, part three from philosophy, and part four from policy and law. The editor frames the entire collection with a helpful introduction and an epilogue consisting of a list of recent developments.
The essays veer from those representing irrational fears to those of more reasoned reflection. The very readable essays offered by scientists in part one lay the foundation for what is to come. Gould's much anthologized essay is a good example of those that anticipate and deflate a number of the more irrational criticism of human cloning by clearly demarcating between scientific reality and myth.
The essays in part two are brief, from one to five pages. Christian, Greek Orthodox, Judaic, Islamic, Native American, Buddhist, and Hindu perspectives on human cloning are offered here, something most other anthologies of a similar ilk do not provide. Lee Silver's excellent "Cloning, Ethics, and Religion" and Richard Dawkins' "What's Wrong with Cloning?" contextualise these various religious concerns with sensitivity and intelligence.
It is really only in parts three and four of the collection that we get a sense of where human cloning might be headed, at least in the United States. These parts raise and address philosophical, legal, and policy implications of this developing technology. Patrick D. Hopkins' "Bad Copies: How Popular Media Represent Cloning as an Ethical Problem" helps us understand where many of the myths and fears about human cloning originated, providing us with an opportunity for intelligent, rather than reactionary policy making.
What this volume lacks is any sustained discussion of what I take to be the most troubling ethical problems associated with cloning, the inevitable widening social divide between those who would be able to afford the high cost of human cloning techniques as they become more widely available and those who would not. Any sort of assisted reproductive technology is expensive and generally available only to a relatively few privileged families. Cloning humans could be used as a way to enhance the genotype and increase the opportunities of those children lucky enough to have strategically thinking and wealthy parents. Like computer technology, human cloning can be seen as a benign blessing when viewed from the perspective of the individual or family whose life it enhances. But when viewed from the perspective that takes in the broader social landscape one is not as sure. It is unfortunate that a volume such as this that includes essays anthologized elsewhere did not take the opportunity to offer any essays, perhaps from the perspective of sociology, that explore this issue.
What one takes away from this volume is not only a sense of the divergence of opinion about a few key ethical issues in human cloning, but a sense of the sometimes dramatic lack of consensus about just what the issues are. I do not see this as a weakness of the volume, but a strength. This collection offers excellent preparation for anyone in the field of genetic counseling who will be inevitably confronted with a number of questions from parents or parents-to-be. The divergent array of views expressed in these essays successfully captures the current array of views spread across the social spectrum. As with any new technology, especially one as far-reaching as human cloning, time is needed to calm shrill voices and allow consensus to form around core issues.

Whiskey barrels make great planters, whether they are placed alone in the yard or used in a larger landscape design. The flowers are going to need special soil, though, and a little more attention than garden plants to keep them looking their best. When you go to the garden center to get the flowers, be sure they thrive in a full-sun exposure if the whiskey barrel is going to be in a sunny position.
Drainage and Soil
Adequate drainage is necessary for flowers to thrive when planted in a whiskey barrel. Drill four 1/2-inch holes spaced evenly apart in the bottom of the barrel before filling it with soil. The soil must be light and drain quickly. Garden soil in a whiskey barrel will not drain quickly enough. Purchase soil mix that is formulated for use in containers. Soil-based or peat-based potting mixes are fine. They should contain coarse sand, perlite or vermiculite for improved drainage, though, and may also contain ground tree bark. Set the whiskey barrel in place before filling it. They are very heavy after they are filled.
Flowering Plant Selection
Flowering perennials, annuals or a combination of the two can be planted in whiskey barrels. Trailing plants like trailing garden verbenas (Verbena x hybrida) and trailing lantanas (Lantana montevidensis) can be planted around the outer edge of the whiskey barrel and left to drape over the side. Trailing verbenas are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 10 or 4 to 8, depending on the hybrid, and trailing lantanas are hardy in USDA zones 8 to 10. Verbena sap may irritate skin and lantana berries and foliage are poisonous when eaten, but both of these plants thrive in hot, direct sunlight. Upright plants like summer snapdragons (Angelonia angustifolia) and cockscomb (Celosia spp.), both annuals, can be planted in the center for bright, colorful flowers.
Planting the Flowers
The soil should be moistened thoroughly before planting the flowers. Mix the soil by hand or with a hand trowel while pouring water over it to make sure it is evenly moist. Plant the flowers far enough apart to allow them to reach their full size with 1 or 2 inches to spare. If the mature plant width is 6 inches, plant it 4 inches away from the other plants. Water them to settle the soil around their roots.
Water and Fertilizer
Slow-release fertilizer can be mixed into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil before planting. Usually 1 tablespoon is plenty, but follow the application rate recommended on the label. The flowers can also be fertilized with water-soluble fertilizer every two or three weeks mixed at a rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. Use a balanced 10-10-10 or 8-8-8 fertilizer. The hot, direct sunshine and warm summer temperatures will cause the soil to dry quickly. Check the soil every day to see if it needs to be watered. Give them 2 to 3 gallons of water when the top inch of soil becomes dry. Organic mulch can be spread over the soil to reduce the need for frequent watering. Deadhead the flowers regularly to keep them looking their best all summer.

Homer: Odyssey IX (Greek Texts)
This edition of one of the most enduringly popular and familiar books of the Odyssey - the encounter of Odysseus and his men with the cannibal Cyclops Polyphemos - grew out of the classes taken at the Joint Association of Classics Greek Summer School, where students who had completed a beginners' course were making their first acquaintance with Homeric verse.The complete text of the book, with generous narrative headings, and illustrations from Greek art, is complemented by a running vocabulary and translation assistance on facing pages. The brief introduction deals with the composition of the Homeric poems, with the story of the Odyssey as a whole and this book in particular. It considers the peculiarities of Homeric dialect forms and the scansion of hexameter verse. The book is ideal for all those tackling Homer for the first time, and is suitable for use in schools and upwards.

Errors in chromosome segregation can have devastating consequences. In mitosis, chromosomal instability is a hallmark of cancer. In meiosis, chromosome mis-segregation can result in trisomy conditions such as Down syndrome, the leading genetic cause of developmental disability. The goal of our research is to understand the mechanisms the cell uses to ensure faithful chromosome segregation in mitosis and meiosis. We are studying how the cell prevents errors in chromosome segregation, including how chromosomes properly attach to the spindle in both meiotic divisions and the monitoring of this attachment by the spindle checkpoint. Many of the genes involved in these processes are conserved, allowing us to use the powerful genetic tools of the budding yeast, S. cerevisiae.
Chromosomes attach to the meiotic spindle at the kinetochore, the protein complexes built on centromeric regions of DNA. We are interested in the proteins that regulate this connection in meiosis. For example, in the first meiotic division (meiosis I), the kinetochores on paired homologous chromosomes must be bound to microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle, but in meiosis II, the kinetochores of sister chromatids must be bound to opposite poles. Furthermore, to prevent chromosome missegregation, if the kinetochores on homologous chromosomes attach to microtubules from the same spindle pole, one kinetochore must release and re-attach properly. The spindle checkpoint monitors this connection and, if the attachment of microtubules to kinetochores is defective, halts the cell cycle to allow time to correct the error. We are studying the regulation of the proteins within the kinetochore to execute each of these steps: microtubule binding to homologous chromosomes in meiosis I and sister chromatids in meiosis II, sensing inappropriate microtubule attachment, signaling the checkpoint, and correcting the error.
In meiosis, the spindle checkpoint proteins not only act in a surveillance system to ensure that chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle, but they also have additional roles. Certain spindle checkpoint proteins are involved in ensuring that kinetochores can initially attach to the bipolar spindle. Other spindle checkpoint proteins are also involved in the timing of the meiotic cell cycle. We are interested in understanding how the different roles of the spindle checkpoint proteins are executed.

Training And Development In The Professional Arena
In the age of ever changing professional requirements, there is a need to reconsider the learning acquired in our professional careers. Consolidating the learning thus acquired can be a big game changer in ones' approach to jobs and roles in the future of their careers.
Many institutions have taken an initiative to cater for these professionally minded courses. In order that professionals may glean off of the well designed courses offered by experts here institutions are providing courses that have been specifically oriented to helping the customers get their money's worth.
These CPD or courses for continuing professional development are all the ranges among the experienced workforce that have been trying to get that essential boost in their career. This is also a helpful exercise for those looking to further their career prospects in light of the latest introductions in the job market that may have undermined their market value.
Careers usually depend on a mixture of expertise as well as network connections that can offer the person a degree of influence in the job market. Any development through CPD programs are therefore a welcome sight for the career oriented workforce. A careful balance between both expertise and network in the job market is what usually gets people into better positions on the corporate ladder.
Qualified educators who offer CPD courses are well-trained upon the needs of the corporate world and help attune their students with the necessary awareness to re-launch themselves. As is seen in most of the waning workforce who is not prepared to keep up with the dynamism of a competitively minded job market, they are willing to go that extra mile that is required to put themselves in a position to launch themselves once again.
Dwindling career prospects and feeling irrelevant in the job market is one of the problems that push professionals to opt to take CPD programs. The need to reconnect both to the new age requirements as well as the prevailing job expectations for the level of experience CV carries. The onus to justify the level of experience that is claimed in the CV is on the professionals themselves.
A host of courses that are in demand right now address the markets that have a much higher career turnover rate, i.e. Markets where the workforce is highly likely to change careers in view of dimming prospects. Some, such careers are based on the legislative as well as the financial domains. A boost towards trying to reconnect to the prevailing trends as captured by the qualified educators is therefore a necessity in this age of disruption.

Pastor's Welcome
Welcome to Saint Junípero Serra Parish, A Catholic Faith Community, located in Quartz Hill (Lancaster), California! Our parish was founded on August 15, 1987 and has grown significantly in these 30 years. Please feel welcome to join us for Mass, especially on the Lord's Day. Our liturgies are supported by a full spectrum of ministries. We really take seriously the Catholic Church's insistence that "participation of the faithful is the goal to be considered before all others."
Saint Serra Parish is staffed by the Congregation of St. Joseph, founded in 1873 in Turin, Italy by St. Leonard Murialdo. As a CSJ parish, "every youngster should find a family" here. Mission Bell Preschool is one of the ministries of our parish. We strive to provide an overtly Catholic experience of early childhood education to our 3 and 4 year-olds. As our children move on to Kindergarten, their parents report a high degree of reading readiness and a smooth transition into "big school." Our Religious Education program serves children in Kindergarten through Grade 8. Second graders are prepared for the sacrament of penance; third graders are prepared for their First Holy Communion. Children's Liturgy of the Word has become very popular for our 4, 5 and 6 year-old children at the 9:30 & 12:00 Sunday Masses. Our parish is partnered with St. Mary Catholic Elementary School in Palmdale—our families are welcomed to St. Mary's as equals to the members of St. Mary Parish. Paraclete High School, an Archdiocesan owned and operated Catholic school, is located within our parish boundaries. We have an active Youth ministry program for both middle and high schoolers. Confirmation is a two-year process normally done in high school. Young folks are welcome to join the various ministries alongside their parents and grandparents.
A quick look at the directory in the parish bulletin will give you an overview of the other ministries available here at Saint Junípero Serra Parish.
Cada domingo a las dos de la tarde hay una santa Misa en Español. Cada dos meses hay una clase de preparación por el bautismo en Español para papás y padrinos. Cada lunes el grupo "Jesus, Fuente de Misericordia" tiene un encuentro de oración a las 7:00 de la noche.

This month I'm back at uni for MY LAST SEMESTER EVER. It's pretty crazy and I'm kind of at the point where I just want it all to be over already!
So what do I have planned for after I graduate? I have a couple of things in the works, none of which have been confirmed yet and the first won't be confirmed until late-August. You guys might remember my 2016 wish-list that included going over to the US… Let that be a clue of what my plans might be, but they could be happening much sooner/in a different way than I had ever expected! In the meantime, catch up on what I got up to last month.
Reading: Over the past month I've been reading a lot of Woman's Day because of my internship there, but I'm now back to the academic readings for uni assignments.
Watching: Suits! It was recommended to me by quite a lot of people and I'm so glad I started it, because I love it!
Listening to: I'm sure you roll your eyes every time they pop up on my blog, but Years and Years just dropped their new album "Communion" and it's been on repeat everyday since.
Dreaming of: My graduation day. Not long to go!
Planning: As I mentioned last month, I have a few trips that are under wraps at the moment which I'm waiting for confirmation on. If all goes to plan I'll be able to reveal it all soon!
Making: Assessment schedules, yes it's that time of the semester again.
Enjoying: being back at uni… not really.
Eating: or trying to eat healthy, or healthier anyway.
Excited for: And also nervous for my interview that's coming up. I'll be revealing what it is soon!
Goal setting: Find myself a job. If anyone's hiring let me know, yeah?
Learning: About lots of journo things again, now that I'm back at uni. Quite enjoying learning data journalism in particular.
Lusting over: Cheese and crackers… I think craving is a better word for it though.

54 reviews for Pork All Life StagesGrain-Free
Thor loves his food! It seems to be easily digested, which makes for easier cleanup in the yard. The auto-ship is convenient and shipping is fast! Thor absolutely loves the treats too!
Both my dogs seem to love it! No digestive issues with either one of them.
My dog has been eating this dog food since she was on solid food. Great stuff she won't eat any other.
Fast delivery. Great food that our dog loves.
This business is outstanding. Ordered items are shipped next day for free. Simply amazing!
Aaaaamazing! Our dog Prince ate this grain-free food for months, and loved it. We ran out, and bought a generic brand with grain…. The difference is crazy! He has been eating food with grain for the passed few months, (about to get graphic) and his poop has been nasty. It's mushy and so smelly! I can tell that the un-digestable grain is just rotting in his stomach, so I am so excited to get him back on Great Lakes pet food. We are true believers that dogs are not made to digest grains.
We have fed this to our Aussie since we brought her home as a puppy two years ago, we switched our 1 year old Golden at that time as well. Both dogs are in great shape and love the food so much we use it as treats for training.
Both our dogs love the food! We have a lab and golden retriever. We were advised to try the lamb for our retriever's skin allergies. We have seen an improvement over the last month. I would definitely recommend this product.
Very happy with the quality of the dog food. Price is great. When you order, it gets delivered quickly. Great Lake takes pride in their products
Dogs love it, shiny coats and healthy weights using the lowest recommended amount. Able to transition to 1 a day feeding and dogs are satisfied! Customer service is outstanding with quick shipping and follow up. Great company
Very quick to receive, very easy to order. Product works very well for us.
We have three dogs that are three different sizes and three different life stages and being able to feed them all the same food and know they are getting what they need is awesome. The service at Great Lakes Pet Food is outstanding. Never having to worry about running out of food with the auto ship program is perfect for our busy life.
We still have Maxi on this food and she still cleans her bowl. She has been doing great on this food since she was 6 weeks old and she is not quite two years old. Ships on time, the subscription makes it where we do not have to worry about picking the food up at the store or her running out anytime.
my coton's , Male is 8 the female is 12 her skin was dry and she just seemed sluggish. Lots of vet visits. My friend Peggy recommended Great Lakes pet food. They LOVE IT and their coats are soft and shiny. My female has more energy and clearer eyes. The male also has such soft fur. Very pleased with the product plus the dogs are loving those treats😉 And I can feel good about giving them these treats. Highly recommend
I've been feeding the Great Lakes Pork Puppy to my Mini Austrailian Shepherd since March of 2017. She had her 2nd litter 6 weeks ago 6 puppies & I just weighed her today and she still weighs 17# within a couple of ounces of what she weighed before she was pregnant. Her coat is still soft and shiny like her puppies. I started the puppies on the kibble at 4 weeks of age, they are going to town growing. I weighed the puppies today and their weights are 2.5, 3, 3.7, 4.3, 4.5, 5.1 pounds. They doing great eating Great Lakes Pork Puppy food. I have 2 other Aussis's and between the 3 they eat a 40# bag a month when she isn't welping. Previously my 17# & 55# Aussie's were eating 80# of Diamonds Extreme Athlete a month, I thought their coat was shiny before, until I started them on the Great Lakes Pork Puppy Food. Best product I have ever fed to my dogs.
PS: The Meat Treats are wonderful also. My adults and puppies love them.
Thanks Darrick for producing some great products
Our old man Ringo had been suffering from a few stomach issues in his old age, we had him on several super expensive grain free options, which weren't making a difference, until someone told me about Great Lakes dog food. I was hessiatant at first as we were used to feeding him kinds of "senior formulas" (he's 12) His gut issues and skin issues cleared up after a week! We've been Great Lakes lovers since!
We have been buying this for our Rottweiler, Maxi, for over a year now and she still loves it.
Our Fiona is a finicky eater, and Great Lakes is one food we can feel confident she will eat. Many mealtimes, she cleans her bowl (that almost never happened before we switched to Great Lakes).
We have been feeding our puppy this food since we got her. She is healthy, energetic and her coat is so soft. One thing we noticed about this food is that it results in poop that does not stink. Funny story: I was getting ready for work one day, and I needed to go to the laundry room to get some clothes. Unbeknownst to me, Rosie had an accident on the floor. I walked into the room, got what I wanted and proceeded to finish my morning routine. About 20 minutes later, I sat down to eat breakfast and noticed something on my shoe. After closely studying it, I realized it was dog poop. I went back to the laundry room, and there it was, right in the middle of the floor with my food print right in the middle of it. Good thing I was ahead of schedule, I had some floors to clean.
My pup hasn't known anything else besides Great Lakes, so I can't say much about how it's affected/benefited him. However, I CAN say that his coat is softer and his bowel movements healthier than other dogs I have owned in the past. He never gets tired of it and the automatic shipping is an added bonus for me.
As the owner of Great Lakes Pet Food, I'm not without my own stories. We had 2 poop events within the same week.
1st – We had been gone during the day and our dogs were in their outdoor/indoor kennel. When we arrived home we let the dogs out and one of them made it into the house before she had pooped. We don't know how many hours the poop was there or how many of us walked by it without noticing, but one thing was for sure, none of us smelled it.
2nd – A few days later I walked through the yard before getting into my truck to head to work. Our puppy still goes in our yard and I stepped in it and didn't notice. I proceed to drive 20 minutes to work with fresh poo on my shoe and never smelled it! Go into my office and start work and still no one notices until a piece comes off in the hallway and my dad picks it up and realizes it's poop.
Going on 11 months using the Great Lakes dog food – Maxi still loves it! Always ships on time and can rely on it being there when Maxi runs out!
We started our dog on GL kibble from the beginning, which our dog has always loved (so much that we had to buy a slow-down maze bowl). We inherited a large 50lbs bag of another beef-based kibble though, and decided to switch him onto that for a bit so it wouldn't go to waste. We completely regretted the decision within about three weeks, when our pup started limping on walks and while playing fetch. We took him to the vet where we discovered he was having a bad allergic reaction manifesting as large bumps between his paw pads, that were becoming raw on walks. They mentioned in passing sometimes it's a diet-based response (we hadn't even mentioned to the vet switching food), and they prescribed us anti-allergy meds. We tried the anti-allergy meds for a month and nothing improved. Thinking back to the vet's diet comment, we got some more GL kibble to put him back on the food and his paw issue cleared up in less than two weeks and now he's happily running all over the place again. We are sticking to GL kibble for good now, and are even switching out his treats to all be pork based! On top of making such a great product, the customer service is also fantastic, understanding when we stopped in the first place, and quickly shipping when we started back on the GL kibble. Thank you!
My goldendoddle Sadie loves this food!!!!!! ordering is very easy
The refill order is very timely and painless !! *******
This is the first and only food my dogs have ever eaten. I started them on it as puppies and they love it. I like the fact it is only real ingredients and the staff is great!
Our dog loves this food and we have seen some great side effects. She doesn't eat as much, her coat is softer, and her stool doesn't smell. She recently had an accident in her kennel and we didn't even know because there was no smell. Highly recommended.
My dog loves Great Lakes dog food. He never has any issues. I love that it gets delivered right to my front door.
Our Goldendoodle absolutely loves her GL food after trying several other brand names.
My goldendoddle love this food ordering is very easy
The refill order is very timely and painless !! *******
Maxi loves the food and the treats! Very dependable shipping and awesome customer service.
My Corgi loves this food. I love how quick the shipping is. It is packaged very well.
We give a 5-star rating for the dog food! We are extremely pleased with the results we see in our Cairn Terrier's coat – from wiry/bristly to being super soft. She doesn't eat as much as she did with other dog foods yet she is content. We tell all our friends with dogs about this food! It's a quality product!!!
Winston our French Bulldog absolutely loves his food from Great Lakes Pet Food. He has allergies to anything with chicken in it and once we switched the constant itching stopped, plus he can't wait for food time. He is just over a year old and is about 27 pounds and very fit.
We have been using since we got our dog Maxi in October 2017. She loves it. Her coat is beautiful and also she doesn't leave a crumb behind. Would recommend to use the subscription plan – we get on time and don't have to worry her running out of food or rushing to the store to pick up those huge bags. She loves the treats also! My husband thinks the treats smell good enough for him to eat also lol!
Our dog Levi, a 6 month old Goldendoodle, has been on this food since he began eating solid food. He loves it! Would recommend!
Excellent food. Pups fight over it…Haha. Their coats are softer on this food than any other I've used in-yes-55 years of owning dogs.
Ok, so I'm back (from December). The pup (Riley) is 5 months old now. Minnie is 2. Riley eats about 4 cups per day and he's a tank! Not fat at all, just a big golden…about 50lbs. He's active so for now, He still eats allot. Minnie on the other hand eats between 2 1/2 to 3 cups per day. It's hard to be accurate because she leaves food in the bowl and I just add to it. She was eating 4 cups in the first month and a half. We took her for her regular checkup and she actually lost weight! Both dogs have a beautiful coat and white teeth. Still waiting for less poo, but it just started where they are eating less. Crazy. It just started last week that both would leave food in their bowls! AND, if you haven't let your dog try the meat treats, you're missing out! Mine love them!
Our puppy Maxi loves it. Was suggested to us from the breeder that we bought our dog from and have continued with it. We receive right on time each month. Maxi even received free bag of treats with the last one! She loved them also!
Great Lakes Pet Food shipped my order so that we had food the next day (to the east side of Michigan). I had initially planned on transitioning my new pup to different food. However, I waited too long to get new food, and was running low on the food that the breeder sent us home with.
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, as I was brand new to this pet food. I appreciate your knowledge and dedication, and look forward to seeing my puppy grow on this food that he loves.
It's great. Don't need to eat as much as some to be healthy.
Our corgi aussie puppy mix loves it so much that when we are in a bind, we can use GL kibble as treat substitutes for training.
We are so happy with Great Lakes Pet Food since we started on it back in January of 2017. The dogs coats are so nice. There weight is perfect. Plus our overall cost has not increased after changing from a cheaper brand. My dogs are eating about 40 % less food and they are totally satisfied. We are just tickled with the quality of the product and service of this company. Thanks so much GLPF!
great food my dogs loves it
We love this food for our Auggie! Her coat is so soft. She is so healthy and she absolutely loves her food. She comes running when she hears the food hit her bowl. It feels great to support local business as well, especially one that is superior in their field!
My golden-doodle loves this stuff, he pushes his old food out of the way to get to his grain free portion 🙂
We started our Toy Aussie on the Grain-Free Formula a few months ago. It's amazing how soft and shiny her coat has become. Plus, she loves the food!
Have been feeding our Giant Schnauzer / Poodle mix for 3 months now and this is her go to food when other options were available. She would even pick through her food bowl to eat this food and leave the others.
We just started "Bodie" our Bernese Mountain Dog on GL pet food. He loves the food, finishes his bowl clean each and everytime. Would recommend anyone to give this product a try.

UK company sells human breast milk ice creamAssociated Press -
LONDON (AP) — Gross or tasty? A London company is offering an unusual dessert — ice cream made with human breast milk.
Trendy London ice cream parlor The Icecreamists said its "Baby Gaga" ice cream sold out as soon as it launched Friday.
The company paid women who responded to an online ad to donate their breast milk. The milk — which the company said was screened in line with blood donor requirements — is then pasteurized and churned together with vanilla pods and lemon zest. The dish comes in a martini glass and sells for 14 pounds ($22.50) each.

Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge) vs Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge)
Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge)► remove
The Intel HD Graphics (Family) is a processor graphics card which is integrated in the cheap Celeron and Pentium model of the Sandy Bridge generation. It is similar to the Intel HD Graphics 2000 and not with the processor graphics of the older Arrandale dual-core processors (which bears the same name).
Depending on the processor, the HD graphics offers a different base and Turbo Boost clock speed. Currently there are three different models:
- Power Saving e.g. Celeron 847: base 350MHz, Turbo 800MHz
- Celeron e.g. Celeron B810: base 650MHz, Turbo 950MHz
- Pentium e.g. Pentium B950: base 650MHz, Turbo 1100MHz
Furthermore, the slow CPU performance of some models may influence the games a lot. For example, although the GPU in the Celeron B710 differs not much from the Pentium B950, the gaming performance was clearly worse and many games were unplayable.
As the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and 2000, the processor graphics card is able to use part of the last level cache of the processor (2MB usually for the entry level CPUs). This could be seen as a small amount of very fast dedicated memory.
Altought 2x Antialiasing (AA) is supported, the chip is as fast as when rendering 4x AA. In the Unigine Valley benchmark a similar HD 3000 i7-2637M for example reached the same score with 2x AA and 4x AA.
The feature set compared to the HD Graphics 3000 is also reduced in these entry level CPUs. E.g. Intel Quick Sync (for de- and encoding of HD videos), In Tru 3D, Clear Video HD are usually deactivated.
Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge)► remove
The Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge) is an integrated graphics card in the mobile Ivy Bridge codenamed processors (Celeron and Pentium). It is the successor the the Intel HD Graphics 2000 in the Sandy Bridge CPUs and performs between the old HD 2000 and 3000 GPU.
Compared to the faster HD Graphics 4000, the HD Graphics features less Execution Units (6 versus 16) and only one texture sampler. Therefore, the performance is clearly worse and only suited for low demanding gaming. Intel states a 10 to 15% higher performance compared to the old Sandy Bridge based HD Graphics 2000 (see our benchmarks below), which is similar to AMDs low-end GPUs like the integrated Radeon HD 8210. Therefore, only casual games with low requirements are playable.
A speciality of the Ivy Bridge GPUs is that 4x MSAA is supported in hardware now. However, 2x is only supported through software. The algorithm to support 2x is going through the 4x pipeline with a software algorithm, so performance is similar to 4x MSAA.
The integrated video decoder called Multi Format Codec Engine (MFX) was also improved and should allow even simultaneus 4K video decoding. DXVAChecker lists MPEG2, VC1, WMV9, and H264 as supported codecs. QuickSync for fast transcoding of videos was also optimized for higher performance and better image quality.
Another new feature is the support for up to 3 independent displays (maybe only with a DisplayPort) as AMD offers with theirs Eyefinity support (up to 6 displays).
Due to the 22nm 3D Tri-Gate production process, the power consumption should be relatively low (the development was focused on performance per Watt).

Marquez Letcher-Ellis flashes potential during Rice's run in CBI
In the box score from Thursday's Rice-San Francisco meeting in the College Basketball Invitational, Marquez Letcher-Ellis' three blocks might stand out as much as who officiated the game.
In a lineup full of shooters and ball-handlers, that happens a lot for the athletic 6-7 sophomore forward.
Understated is two of those blocks coming in the last two minutes of the game while Rice was trying to protect guard Marcus Evans' efforts in the comeback 85-76 win.
Coach Mike Rhoades might have brought the sequence up himself if he wasn't asked about it after Thursday's first-round victory as Rice moved to 23-11.
"Quez doesn't know how good he can be, period," said Rhoades, whose team is in the CBI quarterfinals against Utah Valley (16-16) at 7 p.m. Monday at Tudor Fieldhouse. "I want to make him live with me for the next year so we can just grind him and drive him. He's so talented. He has so much potential. Potential to me is a dangerous word if you don't fulfill it. It doesn't mean anything. It's null and void.
"I tell him all the time (to) enjoy playing and try to keep getting better because when you're out there, he makes plays other guys in that game can't make. You saw those blocks. He ran down a couple loose balls. He's a guy who's guarding their 7-footer, and then he pushes the ball on a break and scores. There's not a lot of guys period that can do that."
Rhoades said Letcher-Ellis, like most of the other players, thinks he's crazy at times but the coach is that passionate about what the big man can be.
"When we get his best like you saw (Thursday) at times, pretty darn good," Rhoades said.
The dirty work Letcher-Ellis does pairs well with Rice's fast-paced offense.
His efforts have saved some games for the Owls, including an overtime win over Southern Mississippi at home when he got a hand on a late inbounds pass to force a turnover immediately after the Owls turned the ball over.
There's no stat for it nor do players make all-conference teams for it, and that's fine by Letcher-Ellis.
"We don't really think about 'OK, I got a deflection here, but they're probably not going to talk about it,' " Letcher-Ellis said. "The guys that know basketball know when you make a good basketball play. As a basketball player, you try not to think about that too much. You try to stay in the flow of the game."
Agreeing with his coach on his potential, Letcher-Ellis said he'd love to improve his ball-handling skills more heading into the offseason.
He essentially plays with four guards in a motion offense. Letcher-Ellis' athleticism, though, fits well with a team that's likely to see more pull-up 3-pointers than a big man waiting on the block.
"For an athlete like me, a guy who really can score inside, it's a lot easier when you have guys creating off the dribble - four guys that can create off the dribble," he said. "It's a lot easier playing this type of offense than it was last year. It's a big-time offense for athletes that want to come play here."

Um, Donovan? You shouldn't come to the Super Bowl and suck ass. This is awful.
Great. Interception. Eaglets lost now. Stupid... McNabb. >=(
What the hell? Has Philly actually given up or what? Run no-huddle you jackasses!
They have like 2.5 minutes left..and they ........ing WALK slowly to the line of scrimidge after taking a long huddle.Originally Posted by Govtcheez
They've been doing that since they started the damn drive, too. There was plenty of time when they started. Air it out (because the run game's obviously worthless), score, and stop NE to get the ball back. problem solved.
TD Philly.
Touchdown.. Nice. Now they just need an interception on this next drive, and they can put those focking Pats in their place.
That was the greatest onsides ever. It didn't bounce and went straight to Fauria. GG Akers, you chump.
Ohh back to 3 points diff with 1:43 left....
Eagles lost. ........!!!
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a worse run 4th quarter, its like the Eagles forgot they were down by two scores. Damn, I was really hoping Team Perfect would finally lose but guess I have to wait til next year.
Ah well, I don't care about football that much anyway.
Do not make direct eye contact with me.
Why the hell do people do this? "I don't care about the topic and I'm going to post to tell everyone!" Get out of the thread if you're not interested.Originally Posted by Lurker
That was one of the worst Super Bowls I've ever seen. Philly seriously looked like they were trying to lose in the 4th quarter and McNabb looked like he was playing Pop Warner most of the night.
TO shut up all the people questioning him though. He played his ass off.

Yamaha SLG200N - Trans Black
Whenever, wherever
Inspired by traditional classical guitar design, the SLG200N features a slim neck, thin body and low action that lets players adopt a more aggressive style, allowing even those players who wouldn't normally choose to perform with a classical guitar to play it with ease.
Sound by SRT Powered
SRT Powered is a new system designed to recreate the body resonance of an acoustic guitar in a bodiless guitar. Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the new SLG body and modelled after the tones of a high-end Yamaha acoustic guitar captured using a carefully selected microphone in a professional recording studio environment. By actually reproducing the sound of an acoustic guitar-right down to its natural sustain and decay-Yamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance, body tone and ambience of an acoustic guitar.
SRT Powered sound can even be mixed with the sound from the instrument's piezo pickups, allowing guitarists to be even more flexible in their creative endeavors. Because the SLG can virtually reproduce the sound of a guitar recorded with a microphone, players are free from complicated procedures involved in mic-ing up a guitar when recording at home or in other settings.
The detachable top section of SLG's frame means that practicality and portability are way beyond that of a conventional guitar. The luxury gigbag provided can be carried with ease and fits into an aircraft overhead compartment with room to spare.
The slim body of the SLG gives these instruments superb playability and allows players to switch to playing an electric guitar without any discomfort should the need arise.
With the SLG, Yamaha set out to bring a modern feel to the classic contours of a conventional guitar. The distinctive design that emerged is the result of a collaborative effort between the project team and the Yamaha Design Laboratory and combines traditional guitar lines with an innovative new form unlike that of any guitar before it.
The bodiless design of the SLG offers a natural, quiet sound that allows guitarists to play without disturbing others, whether practicing late at night or playing in the living room when the family is home. The SLG200N is nighty percent quieter than a conventional classical guitar.
Durability, Stability
Yamaha's SLG features excellent durability owing to its solid body structure, so users do not have to worry about damaging the instrument when playing live or traveling. Both the steel string and nylon string models are fitted with a duel action truss rod, allowing both convex and concave bow to be adjusted.
Connect to an external music player to enjoy music playback, enhance your playing with a range of authentic effects or plug in headphones to enjoy playing in privacy-the SLG offers a variety of functions that make playing even more enjoyable. What's more, SLG come with a built-in precision chromatic tuner, compatibility with both battery- and AC power and a range of other user-friendly features.

I mentioned in my last post that perhaps the most "classic" way to access the HappyMacs software archive was to do so from a classic Mac, via the TurboGopher application.
I have TurboGopher, which is a FAT binary, running on both my 68K Macs and my PPC Macs, and so it should work for any classic Mac you may have. I have tested it from Mac OS 7.6.1 onwards.
This post is a mini tutorial on how to access the HappyMacs gopherspace from TurboGopher, and how to set the default font in TurboGopher so that the HappyMacs gopherspace renders nicely on your Mac.
Default Font and Size
Let's start with the default font. Like many gopherspaces, the HappyMacs gopherspace uses some ASCII art to make the site a bit more visually attractive. In order for this art to render properly, it is key that the Gopher client (TurboGopher in this case) uses a fixed width font. I have settled on the Monaco font for no particular reason other than that I like the way it looks, but you can use any fixed width font that appeals to you. However, all the screen shots below feature Monaco.
To set up Monaco as the font to render gopherspaces with, go to the Gopher menu in TurboGopher, as shown below:
From the Preferences dialog, drop the Other Preferences list in the middle of the window and select Default Font & Size, as shown below:
Now navigate the font and size list to select Monaco 12, as demonstrated below:
When done, the result should look like this:
Accessing HappyMacs Archive
Now that you have the default font and size set properly, accessing the HappyMacs gopherspace is a breeze. Once more go to the Gopher menu in TurboGopher and select Another Gopher, as shown below:
In the resulting dialog, type in "happymacs.ddns.net", as demonstrated below:
If all is well, you will be greeted with the following display of the HappyMacs gopherspace:
That's it! Note that the image of the classic Macintosh, and the "Welcome to HappyMacs" banner are both examples of the ASCII art I mentioned above.
Bookmarking the HappyMacs Archive
One last thing. All of us live in the modern age, even if we have a certain fascination with vintage Macintoshes and MacOS, and so we are attuned to the idea of web browser bookmarks. Wouldn't it be nice to bookmark the HappyMacs archive so that you did not have to type in the address every time you wanted to access it? Well happily, TurboGopher lets you do just that, although it is not entirely obvious how to do this until you have walked through it the first time. So… let's walk through the procedure here.
When you start up TurboGopher, it presents two windows – the Home Gopher window and the Bookmark Worksheet. This later window is the bookmark list that we want to work with. By default it comes preset with a number of what were helpful gopher links back in the late 1990s. These days, they are all dead links, and need to be replaced with more current ones. Let's add the HappyMacs archive to the list, and then delete all the others.
To do this, follow the procedure above to arrive at the HappyMacs gopherspace site. Next, position your cursor on the window's top bar and type Opt-c. This copies the gopherspace's URL to an internal copy/paste buffer. Now, position your cursor on the top bar of the Bookmark Worksheet window, click once and type Opt-v. This pastes your HappyMacs gopherspace URL into the bookmark list. Finally, to get rid of the preloaded and now dead links, position your cursor on each of them, one by one, click once, and type Opt-x. This deletes them, one by one. When done, you should be left with just the HappyMacs gopherspace in your list.
Bookmarking the Floodgap Systems Gopherspace
There is one other site you might wish to add. I think of it as the father of all current gopherspaces – gopher.floodgap.com. I have made it my Home Gopher in TurboGopher. gopher.floodgap.com is the gopherspace of the same Floodgap Systems people who bring you the Overbite plugin for Firefox and act as the general champions of Gopher in today's world. You can follow a procedure similar to the one for arriving at the HappyMacs gopherspace to get yourself to the Floodgap gopher page and then add it to your bookmarks list. You may also wish to make it your Home Gopher, which you can do by editing the Home Gopher definition, available as the first selection in the Preferences dialog under the Gopher menu of TurboGopher.
Editing Gopher Bookmarks
One more "last thing"! Like any good bookmark, you can rename TurboGopher bookmarks to anything you want as opposed to having the actual URL show up in the list. To do this, highlight the bookmark of interest, go to the Gopher menu of TurboGopher and select Edit Gopher Descriptor, as shown below:
In the resulting screen, type in the name of your choice in the Title section of the editing screen, as demonstrated below:
I did this for both HappyMacs and Floodgap, and here is my current Bookmarks Worksheet:
…and that really is it for this TurboGopher tutorial!
Happy Gophering!

I'll be honest, I don't hold much hope for the ocean.
The evidence is brutally clear that they are slipping away from us — the compounding factors of intensive overfishing, chemical and material (think plastic) pollution, invasive species and global warming are adding up to more dead zones, more plastic continents, more devastated underwater landscapes, and more lost species.
Coral reef ecologist Jeremy Jackson gave a talk at TED that lays out the evidence.
We're killing them, the oceans. Every single day is another day closer to having seas full of nothing but seaweed and jelly fish.
