Rumors have been flying that Gerard Butler has been out with Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Kate Hudson and Reese Witherspoon. That's a lot of ladies -- and not shocking, as Gerald was born under the smoldering sign of sex appeal, Scorpio, and is currently being guided by universal forces that should make romance the highlight of his year.
As with all Scorpios, love is the main theme for 2010, with career being another major focus until June. This will make power-coupling prevalent in his love life, and he'll be prone to hooking up with celebrity women. However, this will teach him new lessons in relationships and the dynamics of teamwork. So this year, don't be surprised if you hear of Gerard beginning to settle down as half of a Hollywood "It" couple who will have staying power.

I am saddened to have to announce the passing of Dale Hey who was better known to wrestling fans as Buddy Roberts. According to the announcement of his death on wwe.com, they noted that he was 65 years old. While they did not provide a cause of death, Buddy had battled throat cancer after retiring from the ring.
Buddy Roberts will best be remembered as one of the greatest tag team wrestlers in pro wrestling history. In the '70s, he was a part of the Hollywood Blondes with Jerry Brown. The team won many regional tag team belts and their name was reused in the '90s when Brian Pillman and Steve Austin teamed together.
However, he is best known as being one-third of the Fabulous Freebirds along with Michael Hayes and the late Terry Gordy. Their legendary battles with the Von Erich family in the '80s are still talked about to this day. In addition to wrestling for WCCW, the team also had notable runs in the UWF, AWA, and Georgia. They also had a very brief stint in the WWE where they were managed by David Wolff during the Rock-n-Wrestling Era.
One of their legendary tactics, the Freebird Rule, has become a part of wrestling vernacular. Whenever the team won a title, they would change up which members of the team would defend it on any given night to give them an advantage so their opponents didn't know who to prepare for.
While best remembered for his success as a tag team wrestler, he also had some success as a singles wrestler. During the height of the Freebirds feud with the Von Erich family, Buddy also found himself embroiled in a feud with Iceman Parson that resulted in Buddy losing his hair. In 1986, he won the WCCW Television Champion from Mark Youngblood and a few months later won the UWF Television Championship from Terry Taylor. He also won several regional titles while wrestling under the name of Dale Valentine, the "brother" of Johnny Valentine, during the '70s.
After retiring from the ring in the late-80's, he became the manager of Samoan Swat Team and they feuded against his old tag team partner, Michael Hayes. Buddy left the business shortly after WCCW went out of business and was not a part of the Freebird group that competed in WCW beginning in 1989.
I would like to take this opportunity to send out my condolences to his family, friends, and fans. On a personal note, as long-time readers know, the Freebirds are my favorite tag team of all-time. When I met Buddy during a convention in 2008, I was debating whether or not to tell him that fact because I take pride in the fact that I maintain a certain level of professionalism at all times. Right now, I'm very glad that I broke my rule and decided to tell him he was a part of my favorite tag team in the only mark-out moment I've had since working on this site for the past seven years.

Need another reason to drink tap water? Let me put it to you in a way that makes sense to your wallet:
Bottled water. Costs up to $3.
Tap water. Costs about a penny.
Hello inflation!
But even beyond the jaw-dropping, face-palming, SMH inflation of bottled water, we're paying a lot more than we realize.
Thanks to TapIt, the infographic below provides 10 convincing reasons to drink tap water:
Did you know?
- Bottled water isn't any safer than tap water and could actually be more dangerous.
- Bottled water can cost more than one thousand times the price of tap water.
- Most plastic water bottles are not recycled.
- The plastic in water bottles could harm your health. Chemicals called phthalates, which are know to disrupt testosterone and other hormones, can leach into bottled water over time.
So why do some people still insist on choosing bottled water? The number one answer? TASTE. But a simple water filter installed in your refrigerator, faucet, water line, or water pitcher significantly reduces the chorine and impurities that give tap water that not-so-pleasant taste.
Be frugal. Be healthy. Be conscientious.
But most importantly…
Be interesting.
Don't be thirsty, my friends. Drink tap water.

Benefits of price rises and bloody marys

Benefits of price rises and bloody marys
The Institute of Alcohol Studies claims evidence from Canada shows minimum unit pricing for alcohol brings significant health benefits (Report, 1 May). Using their own estimates of population attributable fractions, researchers in British Columbia say between 2002 and 2009 a 10% increase in average minimum price was associated with a 32% fall in alcohol-related deaths. But actual hospital records show that the number of alcohol-related deaths in British Colombia in that period went up – from 1,073 to 1,169.

Miles O'Brien is a 30-year broadcast news veteran who has successfully melded a talent for telling complex stories in accessible terms with a lifelong passion for aviation, space, science and technology.
Based in New York City, he owns a production company that creates, produces and distributes compelling stories across all media platforms.
He is chief correspondent for the National Science Foundation series "Science Nation" and the Discovery Science Channel series "Innovation Nation."
He has done several documentaries for PBS - four on transportation an infrastructure issued for the WNET Blueprint America project and one for WGBH Frontline: "Flying Cheap" focused on the crash of Continental Flight 3407 and safety concerns surrounding the rise if regional airlines.
He also appears on the radio serving as a frequent guest anchor of "The Takeaway" and "The Leonard Lopate Show" on WNET/New York.
He is Managing Editor of "This Week in Space" - a popular webcast found at www.SpaceflightNow.com. In partnership with that site, he has pioneered web-based live, extended coverage of space shuttle launches that have lured a global audience of more than 200,000 viewers.
O'Brien is also an advisor to NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden. He serves as Chairman of the Education and Public Outreach Committee of the NASA Advisory Council. He is also currently working on a documentary and book on the space shuttle program and the rise of a private sector space industry.
For nearly 17 years he worked as a correspondent, anchor and producer for CNN based in Atlanta and New York. At various times he was CNN's science, space, aviation, technology and environment correspondent.
During his time at CNN, he also anchored a myriad of news and talk programs, including Science and Technology Week, CNN Saturday and Sunday Morning, Talkback Live, Headline News Primetime, CNN Live From and CNN American Morning.
O'Brien has received three Emmys, a DuPont and Peabody and numerous other prestigious awards over the years for his coverage of hurricanes, wars and politics in addition to his coverage of space, aviation, science, technology and the environment.
O'Brien may be best known for his coverage of the US space program. In February of 2003, he led the network's acclaimed coverage of the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia. He was on the air live for 16 solid hours helping guide a shocked and saddened country through a national tragedy.
Unknown to viewers at the time, the loss of Columbia represented the sudden end of a long-held dream for O'Brien. Only days before (and after years of negotiations) CNN and NASA had reached an agreement that would have made O'Brien the first journalist to fly to on the space shuttle to visit the International Space Station.
O'Brien has covered every major space story in the past twenty years: the repair missions to the Hubble Space Telescope; the shuttle dockings at Mir; the launch of the first space station crew from Kazakhstan; several robotic landings on Mars and the private sector endeavors of Burt Rutan and others.
In October of 1998, he co-anchored CNN's coverage of John Glenn's return to space with broadcast veteran Walter Cronkite.
In 2000, he produced, shot and wrote a one-hour documentary on the intricate, sometimes-perilous process of readying a space shuttle for flight. "Terminal Count: What it Takes to Make the Space Shuttle Fly" aired in May 2001.
O'Brien is a third generation general aviation pilot and the owner of a small single-engine airplane. He frequently flies himself to and from assignments and is often called upon to explain complex aviation stories for a mass media audience.
Straight out of Georgetown University where he majored in history, he worked for a dozen years as a reporter, anchor and producer at a series of local TV stations in Washington DC, St. Joseph MO, Albany NY, Tampa FL and Boston MA. He earned two Emmy awards along the way for coverage of a chlorine leak in a Florida neighborhood and an emerging gang problem in Boston.
O'Brien was born in Detroit, Michigan June 9, 1959 and grew up in Grosse Pointe Farms.
He is married to the former Sandra Fossett. They have two children a son and a daughter.
O'Brien is an avid runner, cyclist (mountain and road) and swimmer. He loves to ski (snow and water) and SCUBA dive.

QUOTE (IS300 TT @ Jul 16 2005, 08:10 PM) |
Ok obsessed, this is what after long research I have decided to do about my diff. Supra diff will not fit under the car with out interfering with the structure of the diff's sub frame and car's belly panels, so a Skyline diff will be more suitable, the size of it is a bit bigger then the IS but similar bold paten. A friend has a R33 GTS-T Viscus LSD Diff and drive shafts that I will fit in my IS in a week or two, you maybe like to consider a GTR lsd for your conversion. However I will tell you what I had to do to fit the GTS-T diff and it will be the same mod for you if you fit the GTR one ( both diffs are some size). Yianni |
QUOTE (obsessed @ Jul 18 2005, 11:01 PM) | ||
Thanks Yianni I appreciate that. Either that or I will just go with the IS300 diff, I can pick up a new one for $5000 complete fom side to side including a TRD L.S.D centre (brand new.) MADALTEZZA, I myself already have over 300hp at the wheels, I'm looking for a diff that will handle over 1000 at the fly. I have heard of the IS300 LSD handling ot over in the states. I just dont want to pay $5000 for a diff because I think it might handle it. Thanks for your replies. Keep me informed Yianni Cheers. |
QUOTE (e30-323ti @ Jul 27 2005, 03:07 PM) | ||||
The IS300 shares the B-series diff as a JZA80, I would be surprised if a B-series diff from a JZA80 doesn't bolt into a IS200 or 300, you also need the axles to go with it as one is longer than the other (so you can't use the axle from your A-series diff). Re: Nissan Diff. Talk about doing it the most expensive/complex way possible. The Toyota A-series Diff is the same as the older G-series, found in MA&JZA70's, if you are after a TORSEN centre get a JZA70 diff, strip it down and put the TORSEN Center into your A-series diff. At the end of the day the A/G series diff is the same size as a Nissan R200!! And stay away from those sh!tty Viscous centres. My 2c |

As rains subside, variety of 'alien' art formations appear in fields (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

As rains subside, variety of 'alien' art formations appear in fields
3:32pm Tuesday 31st July 2012 in Marlborough
After a slow start to the season, caused by the unseasonally wet weather, the number and quality of crop circles appearing in fields in Wiltshire have grown exponentially.
There was great excitement among crop circle investigators last week when a very unusual formation appeared in a field at Hill Barn, near East Kennett, last Thursday.
Though the design is difficult to describe, it looks like two giraffes breast to breast with diamonds in between them.
Matthew Williams, who took these aerial shots, said: "I consider this one to be a season show stopper... a really nice piece of art."
On the same day a formation resembling a horseshoe crab was discovered in a field at Oliver's Castle, Roundway Down, and the day before a comet with a long tail appeared in crops at Windmill Hill, near Avebury.
The origin of these formations is still up for debate but others are less uncertain. The formation looking like the children's character The Very Hungry Caterpillar that appeared at Boreham Woods on July 5 is fairly likely to be made by someone with a sense of humour.
And the pretty floral pattern that turned up at Juggler's Lane near Yatesbury is clearly a locally made work of art. A notice from farmer Rob Pickford said: "This circle has been man-made by the Frome Community Learning Partnership in conjunction with the Rook Lane Arts Trust and Wiltshire Heritage Museum.
"It is part of a combined Maths and Arts education programme called 'Measuring the land'; find out more at www.break3.org.uk. Please do not walk in the fields as more crop damage is done by visitors' feet viewing the circle afterwards, than the act of making the crop circle itself. Please do not access the circle by walking over or driving on my neighbours' property, they will call the police."

Are they going to compensate the farmer for the damage done to the crops?
And is it too much to ask that journalists could educate and inform their readers, rather than just spout nonsense and perpetuate these idiotic myths about aliens?
Ooops sorry, one should never let the truth get in the way of a good headline!

Sick in bed with miso soup, bag of popcorn and Gatorade. Oh yes, and 'Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It,' by Scott Kelby, which I just got in the mail. I am looking forward to reading this book. Good timing Amazon and USPS. I can see I should have bought a lottery ticket before getting sick cause now I really need some money to buy all the stuff he is recommending, most importantly, a bigger soft box.
Sorry to hear you're under the weather, Skipper...my son is too, so it's a safe bet I'll have it next
I just put your new book on a "Five Books to Make you a Better Photographer" post on my blog yesterday -- it's one of my favorites!
At least you have good reading while you're sick.
Thanks Paul. I am fine now, I was sick for two days and then it just lifted.
I like the book but my one criticism is that there was too much Photoshop. As you know there are a number of lighting lessons or projects followed by detailed tutorials for Photoshop work on those projects. There was way too much of the PS lesson part of each project. Not necessarily a criticism as some readers may love this and find it very helpful. I would have preferred SOME PS but not as much -- and more space given to the lighting set up and execution. Still, I an enjoying the book and glad I got it.
I agree. That "start to finish" approach is one of the things that makes it unique, but it is PS heavy.
Try a couple of the other more lighting-oriented books on my list...
Glad you're feeling better! I've got congestion and sore throat now...
Thanks Paul, I will check out your blog. Hope your flu is fleeting. Ugh. No fun. My chief symptom was headache.
Skipper and Paul, hmmmm sick at pretty much the same time eh? should stop kissing. hehe
I have that book and I think the PS is a bit heavy as well but it's nice to know some of the stuff he does for future references ya know.
Glad you're feeling better Skipper, being sick SUX!
Action is the foundational key to all success.
~Pablo Picasso~
Here's a link to a very cool website. I've learned so much from it already and barely scratched the surface.
Please visit my website
I belong to a community called Model Mayhem where I've been practicing my off camera lighting if you'd like to check out some of my work you can do so here.
Thanks Sharna. Yes, it was a drag. On the other hand to be honest I did enjoy sitting up in bed with popcorn and Gatorade and reading a good book. I guess I should try that when I am not sick too. Glad there is a consensus on the book.
Paul that is a nice list of books on your blog. I love Joe McNally. I saw him speak in NYC last year and he was excellent. I wasn't sure about this book when I read about it but now that you've recommended it maybe I'll consider it again. Neil van Niekerk is also a fabulous speaker and I have learned a lot from him. I don't have this book of his re on-camera flash but I do have his off-camera flash book that came out after this one. It is also excellent and well worth the price. Neil also has a great blog that is very helpful and instructive, called Tangents. It's a lot of lessons, much like the Kelby book but shorter. Because of Neil, I carry a Black Foamie Thing in my bag wherever I go. Here is link: http://neilvn.com/tangents/
I should get that first book. Science and Magic.
I've been following Neil's web site for some time, too -- fun stuff. I love your technical description ("black foamie thing")
Sharna -- don't tell anyone about me and Skipper, it's a secret! <grin>

A balance of health and harmony in your workspace reduces aches and pains, increases your mental well-being, aids productivity, and can even increase creativity. Sit up straight and take notice of these six ways to a healthier new year.
Born and raised in Michigan, Evernote's Jeff Zwerner attended high school at Cranbook. Connecting with the noted institution's design resources, Jeff gained an early appreciation of Cranbook's — and Herman Miller's — role in American design history. The impact is clear amidst his collection of classics including Eames Molded Plastic and Plywood Dining Chairs, and Case Study units among others.
Jeff's work ranges from product and experience design, to designing Evernote's building and physical workspaces. Previously Jeff founded the SF office for Hamburg-based Factor Design, launching products for Apple, Google and Coca-Cola just to name a few. Take note of Jeff's diverse work and listening habits in our first Playlist of 2013.
Fifty years ago, Alexander Girard, the head of Herman Miller's Textile Division from 1952 to 1973, introduced this playful design and called it "January." Girard's distinctive combination of color, originality, and spirit came from his love of folk art, his world travels, and his delightfully curious personality.
Here's hoping the optimism of Girard's design inspires you in this new year. Click here to download one of six free desktop wallpapers featuring "January" for your computer, mobile, or tablet device.
We'd love to hear what matters to you. If you're curious about what matters to us, read more about our "Things That Matter".

Stephen Hamill '78 Honored as 2013 Alum of the Year
Environmental Law Society Convenes Conversation about Future of California's Water
Alums Reconnect and Reminisce at Reunion 2013
USF's LLM Program in Intellectual Property and Technology Law is open to students who have received a law degree from an American or foreign university.
The program requires completion of 25 units over two consecutive full-time semesters of study at the USF School of Law (August through May). The program may also be completed through part-time study with permission of the director.
The Intellectual Property and Technology Law program provides a thorough exposure to American, international, and comparative intellectual property law. The program equips students with a sufficient grounding in legal theory and practical skills to pursue gainful employment in the intellectual property field in the United States or abroad.
To this end, students pursuing the LLM degree are required to complete the Advanced Seminar in Intellectual Property, which includes extensive research and writing components. Students must also complete a minimum of six units of IP core courses (or show that they have satisfactorily completed equivalent courses at another law school). Students may allocate no more than three credits of non-IP course work toward the degree. Students must fulfill the remainder of the required 25-units by taking approved elective courses listed in the IP curriculum.
In addition, all international LLM students who have not received a degree from a U.S. university are required to take The American Legal System courses, which meet weekly in a small class and include visits to San Francisco courtrooms and other events.

Did Royals Signal Offseason Plan by Claiming Volstad on Waivers from Cubs?
The Royals' decision to claim struggling right-hander Chris Volstad on waivers Friday from the Chicago Cubs could be more than a simple move to assemble greater short-term inventory for a troubled rotation.
It might also signal the club plans to pursue affordable low-risk starting pitchers this offseason rather than enter into expensive free-agent auctions for Anibal Sánchez and Kyle Lohse, or even stretch their budget to retain Jeremy Guthrie.

Not even Coach, which saw fit to put this workhorse out to pasture in 1997. But starting June 15, Net-a-Porter is bringing back the Duffle, as well as four other seminal styles from that era, as the Coach Classics collection. Fans of the original will notice only one minor adjustment: an ad for Neiman Marcus in The Dallas Morning News from the '70s listed the Duffle for $36. This summer it will set you back $398.

Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.

Bridgetown Mill House
Online Reservations
This is the second time we have been there. This time we took my father for his 82nd birthday. The food was great as was the service. Our new favorite place!
Had dinner with friends on a Tuesday night. The food was excellent, our waitress was extremely friendly and efficient, the setting was relaxing and very nice. Although we weren't drinking I noticed they have an AWESOME wine selection so I am looking forward to partaking on our next visit. The food was great.. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and service we received.. Did I say the food was great? Thanks for an enjoyable dinner, I would recommend the Mill house to anyone that truly enjoys dining out, not just stuffing your face.
This restaurant is a classy little gem that still evokes a sense of old word dining. Everything from the crystal stemware & bone china plates, to the hand written receipt at the end demonstrates their care for their patrons. They make you feel special, not just a number, which is becoming ever more rare in this day and age. This was the second time that my husband and I dined there, the first being our wedding lunch. The restaurant staff made both dining occasions equally as special. There is no doubt that we will return again.
We enjoyed our dinner and the service was excellent. The restaurant is very beautiful inside and nice atmosphere.
The food was amazing. The staff was very attentive but not in the way. The atmosphere was romantic, or just elegant. The view out the windows was beautiful. Although it is close to a major road, there is no road noise once inside. I highly recommend this for a quiet dinner or a special occassion. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!
My wife and I were searching for a dinner spot for our 10th anniversary, and OpenTable recommended the Bridgetown Mill House Inn. Reading the reviews, I have to say the reviewers were wrong... THEY DIDN'T DO JUSTICE TO THIS PLACE!!! Arguably one of the best hidden gems we've ever found, I can't complain about a single thing. The menu was perfectly sized, and our meals -- my wife's filet mignon and my rack of lamb -- were both exquisite. Coupled with great wine, a pre-dinner cocktail and a delightful crab cake app, I would've been satisfied. But dessert took it over the top. The Bourbon pecan tart was the most delectable dessert I've ever eaten. Oh and our server... FABULOUS!! Grade: A+++++
We visited on Mother's Day and had delicious meals with excellent service. The filet mignon, chicken, ahi tuna and swordfish entrees were all prepared and presented perfectly. The creme brulee dessert was pronounced "best ever" by my sister who has ordered it everywhere, and the other desserts we had were memorable as well. We are looking forward to a return visit.
Enjoyed dinner on tuesday night with my husband and daughter. The staff is very pleasant and waitress was excellent. The Ahi Tuna was not the best and overcooked around the edges. My husband and daughter enjoyed the meatloaf and scampi. Great Wine and Great time in a charming Inn.
Bridgetown Mill House is a rare treasure!!! This was my first time there and I was not at all prepared for what to expect. When we walked through the Inn, I felt like I was immediately transported to another place and time and everything was well maintained. But it was when I walked out onto the patio that it took my breath away. The huge 200-year old trees form an amazing tent over a lovely brick patio. There is even "live entertainment" in the form of ducks meandering by the little stream. I just can't think of a better way to spend a summer evening.
We had special requests because because we are vegetarians, and the chef worked with us.
We took my family out for my birthday. The service was great, the head server was very helpful. We got there early so there was a crowd. There was a small wedding party outside, it added to the fun to see them. I would go back again
The outdoor garden is very nice. The indoor dining areas looked very interesting.
Our group of four enjoyed our visit to the Bridgetown Mill House. We ordered, soup, salad and four different entrees. Each was cooked to perfection and the service was spot-on. We look forward to coming back for another great meal soon.
Great atmosphere & food. Recommend the Escargo Crepe. A first for me, and it was very tasty, would definatly order it again. Service was spot on. Donna gave us time to chat, drink, and enjoy an evening in a relaxed environment catching up as we, 2 friends, celebrated our Birthdays. A little pricey, but worth it.
We had a wonderful dinner. it was our anniversary and wanted to go someplace nice. The service and food was great. We had the fixed price dinner and I thought that since it was only $30 for 3 courses that they would be small portions but I was wrong.
very good dining experience with a great outdoor dining area in a country like setting.
We lovedsitting outside overlooking the creek but dinner was a little expensive since ourfood was so so but the setting, live music, and dessert almost made up for it.
This was our first time at BMH. We lived nearby for many years and always passed up dining there. Now we will use BMH for special occasions. It was our 36th Anniversary and we were not disappointed. Thank you all !
I must have passed his resturant a million times so far and never realized it was there. My husband and I were given a gift certificate so that is how we discovered it. We spent two hours there just dining and relaxing. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the ambiance was romantic. I would certainly recomend this resturant.
The restaurant is very pretty, a gorgeous room. Meal was very good and reasonable. Service was very good. I found many people around the neighborhood know of it but have never been there - which is a shame. We were there on a Wednesday, and it was slow, but have been there on busy Saturdays and the service was still very good.
I've been here 3 times over the years and its really a nice, quaint place. Food and price seems appropriate for the setting. I was disappointed with my veal chop - tiny piece of meat after stripping away the fat and I generally eat anything - but my date's pork chop was excellent. Service was great. We never felt rushed or wanting for anything during the evening.
On October 5, 2013, I hosted a rehearsal dinner for 49 people at this charming restaurant. GOOGLE the name to see their web site. The pictures look exactly like the restaurant. This is a cool inn. They also have an outside bar that our group enjoyed, stocked with all the liquors/wines anyone could want – first class. The portions of food were delicious and plentiful, especially the desserts. The dining room was tastefully illuminated while the glasses, dishes and silverware sparkled. Everything is extra clean and inviting. Inside are several fire places to add a romantic ambiance. So if you're looking to celebrate an anniversary, or special occasion, choose this lovely Inn. A very quixotic atmosphere. Fresh flowers are on the tables.
We love to go to the Bridgetown Mill House - good food, quiet, lovely service, convenient.
Made a return visit on a quiet Friday evening, with an impression similar to that on previous visits: an absolutely wonderful spot. Personally, I'm surprised that the place is not more crowded than it has been on all of my visits - but I'm not complaining, as that has made my dinners more pleasant. Why single out any one or two items on the menu? They're all great! Do yourself a favor and find this place - you'll be happy that you did.
I took my mother there for her birthday and we both enjoyed it. The food portions were good and well prepared. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not cheap, but about what I expected, if maybe a little less. I'll definitely go back.
This is a great little restaurant that offers some excellent food. The service is good. Food comes out in a reasonable amount of time. The portions are the perfect size and they offer a nice variety of appetizers and entrees. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted wonderful. Definitely be returning to this spot.
Once again a great dinner with great food and outstanding service. Consistently excellent.
We went for a nice date night. We had the lamb and the filet. Both were very good. I would recommend this restaurant. I want to go in the summer and eat outside.

A species of whale has been discovered on the banks of the Humber Estuary in East Yorkshire.
Conservation experts examining the 33ft 910m) long animal said that it died after it became trapped in shallow water 875 yards (800m) from the shoreline near to the east Yorkshire village  of Skeffling on the North bank of the River Humber.
The experts are 95 per cent sure that the whale found in a field in Yorkshire is a young female Sei Whale.
It is very rare to hear of Sei Whales being stranded on the British coast with only three stranding of this species of whale being reported in the last 20-years:
"It is sad.
"It was in shallow water of about 1.2m (4ft) to 1.6m (5.25ft), making contact with the bottom.
"This was about 800m offshore.
"When it gets in that situation it rolls onto its side and it can cover its blow hole.'
"It is very sad indeed but we will be able to learn a lot from it", said Andy Gibson of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.

Hello, I am new here and after searching for a while could not figure out how to do the following. It seems simple enough I just need the "Add to cart" button to change and say "Pre-Order" when an attribute condition is met. I have setup the attribute "preorder" and set it to yes or no now I just have to write an if statement and the way I was trying was in the 'addtocart.phtml'
The code is:
<?php $buttonTitle = $this->__('Add to Cart'); ?>
Now as far as I could tell I just have to add something like:
<?php if($_product->getAttribute('preorder') == 'yes'): ?><?php $buttonTitle = $this->__('Pre-Order'); ?><?php endif; ?>
//this should end the if if preorder is set to no than the button titled Pre-Order should be skipped and continue with the following.
?php $buttonTitle = $this->__('Add to Cart'); ?>
I've tried many variations and it just seemed to get rid of the add to cart button completely. If I just change the text in the 'Add to Cart' to 'Pre-Order' it would change it globally but I just need it to change if preorder is found to be true. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Please review our solution for Pre-Order button display where products are out of stock and backorders are enabled.

Fans celebrate Super Bowl win in Baltimore
Associated Press
Posted Feb 4, 2013
Fans spilled out into the Baltimore streets after the Ravens defeated the 49ers 34-31 in Sunday's Super Bowl.
BALTIMORE (AP) — Hundreds of giddy Ravens fans poured into the streets Sunday night, whooping, hollering, dancing, and high-fiving complete strangers as they celebrated the team's 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
On the far opposite coast, however, a spirit of hope and anticipation rapidly deteriorated to sullen disappointment as dejected 49ers fans tried to absorb their team's loss.
In the East, Patrons who packed into Mother's Federal Hill Grille in Baltimore to watch the Ravens' second Super Bowl appearance since the team arrived in the city in 1996 jumped up onto the bar and began belting out a rendition of the Queen song "We are the champions." Bartenders sprayed purple party string into the air.
"I love this team. I love this city!" screamed Andrew Bieler, 21, shortly after the game ended.
Ashlee Tuck, 28, shouted "Yes!" and alternated between kissing her boyfriend and dancing as fans streamed out of the bar.
Michael Falls, 25, said he plans to take Monday off from his accounting job and his boss was going to do the same.
"I'm going to live up the night," he said.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake joined in the fun, dancing and singing alongside the fans.
"The Baltimore Ravens once again demonstrated strength, poise, and perseverance as they prevailed in Super Bowl XLVII," Rawlings-Blake said in a statement.
In a live interview from New Orleans on WBAL-TV, Rawlings-Blake said the city will hold a parade in the team's honor on Tuesday that will start at City Hall and end at the Ravens' stadium. She also urged fans to celebrate peacefully, while local television footage showed police mounted on horseback circling the crowds to maintain order.
Fans came decked out in purple for the game, many arriving at bars hours early to get seats. Women arrived with their nails painted purple. Men wore purple Mardi Gras beads. There were purple-feathered boas; purple, black and white camouflage pants; and a sea of purple and black jerseys.
It seemed no jersey was more popular than that of retiring middle linebacker Ray Lewis, No. 52. And whether they were wearing his number or not, fans said they wanted to win for Lewis, the only current player who started with the team when it came to Baltimore in 1996.
"We have to do it for Ray. It's not all about Ray. It's 90 percent for Ray, 10 percent for the city of Baltimore," said Darren Love, 40, an off-duty police officer who wearing one-piece, zip-up pajamas with the Ravens' logo in addition to a purple wig.
Fans at Pickles Pub, just a few blocks from the Ravens' M&T Bank Stadium, cheered when Lewis was shown on television at the start of the game. And the cheers continued when the team scored the first touchdown. The Ravens never trailed.
Chrissy Ramirez, 22, a first-grade teacher, was one of the fans who emptied out onto South Charles Street in the Federal Hill neighborhood after the win. Ramirez, who was wearing the No. 5 jersey of Ravens' quarterback Joe Flacco, Ravens earrings, and a hat shaped like a Raven head, said she was excited and happy. She said she planned to "be ecstatic the rest of the week."
Ecstatic was the opposite of how fans felt in San Francisco's Mission Hill district, where fans stumbled dejectedly into the streets after their team's loss.
"Damn, that's all I have to say," said Niners fan David Mejia, 32.
As the game drew to an end, dozens of police officers and sheriff's deputies — in patrol cars and on foot, motorcycle, and horseback — fanned out on both sides of the country to watch for signs of trouble, but neither city reported any serious problems.
"Most of the crowds are dissipating," Baltimore Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi (pronounced Goo-YELL-me) said shortly after midnight. Guglielmi said the crowds grew to several thousand before people slowly started to peel off and head home.
The streets in the Golden Gate city also were relatively calm Sunday night, unlike after the San Francisco Giants' World Series victory in late October, when a city bus was set ablaze, cars were overturned and bonfires erupted in trash containers and on the streets. About three dozen people were arrested following that victory.
"Citywide, everything seemed to be pretty good" Sunday night, Officer Carlos Manfredi said. "We did have a couple of flare-ups in the Mission District, but otherwise everyone seemed to be behaving themselves."

Issue (Who cares and why?)Current global models predict that carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere will double pre-industrial levels by the year 2050. Increasing atmospheric CO2 may lead to global warming and other climate changes. By the processes of photosynthesis and respiration, CO2 is exchanged between the atmosphere and the land where it is sequestered as wood and other organic forms in the soil. Elevated CO2 also increases productivity particularly in desert ecosystems.
Information is needed on the exchange process in order to predict climate change. Will there be changes in the rate at which plants grow over the next hundred years? Will the storage of carbon in the desert ecosystem change? Will water balance change in this arid environment? Will species composition of desert plant communities change?
What has been done?To examine responses of arid ecosystems to elevated atmospheric CO2, a host of contributors established the Nevada Desert FACE (Free Air CO2 Enrichment) Facility in the Mojave Desert of southern Nevada, which is the driest area of North America.
Over the past ten years, University of Nevada, Reno's investigation team have determined the effect of elevated CO2 on key physiological processes that affect primary production in an intact Mojave Desert ecosystem. They have determined the effect of elevated CO2 on seasonal and inter-annual variations in climate constraints on primary production in an intact Mojave Desert ecosystem. They have established how elevated CO2 may impact ecosystem water balance, and therefore the water limitation to primary production, in this water-limited system. They have ascertained the effects of elevated CO2 on nitrogen dynamics, including N-fixation, volatization and nitrification rates, and litter decomposition. They have established the effect of elevated CO2 on total belowground respiration in a Mojave Desert ecosystem.
The team evaluated the impacts of elevated CO2 on plant reproductive patterns in an intact Mojave Desert ecosystem to provide the link between species performance and population reaction to elevated CO2, while also, assessing the impacts of elevated CO2 on fine roots: their occurrence, length, area density, population dynamics and biomass production.
ImpactIncreases in atmospheric CO2 concentration during the last 250 years are unequivocal, and CO2 will continue to increase at least for the next several decades. Arid ecosystems are some of the most important biomes globally on a land surface area basis, are increasing in area at an alarming pace, and have a strong coupling with regional climate. These water-limited ecosystems also are predicted to be the most sensitive to elevated CO2, in part because they are stressful environments where plant responses to elevated CO2 may be amplified.
Results from the University's work at the Nevada Desert FACE Facility have provided significant insight into the complex responses of an intact desert ecosystem to elevated CO2. This project is helping land managers and ecologists: (1) understand the structure and function of desert ecosystems; (2) how elevated atmospheric CO2 will affect the structure and function of desert ecosystems; and (3) is providing guidance to land managers and users on actions that will adversely affect deserts in the short- and long-term.
