Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
March 7, 2011 The Blue Line Ryan Miller
by Matthew Coller
From the personal triumph of carrying Team USA on his back to a silver metal to Sidney Crosby's overtime goal. From establishing himself as the best goalie in the world to being bumped from the playoffs by the sixth-place Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres superstar goalie Ryan Miller must have thought he saw it all in 2009-10. That is until this year. Despite injuries and exhaustionat one point being played 31 games in a rowand mounting criticism over expectations and his contract, Miller has pulled himself back into Olympic form. Now, the weight of the playoffs rests on his shoulders.
If there's such a thing as "rock bottom", Miller bumped into it on February 13 when he allowed seven goals in an overtime loss to the New York Islanders. After the game, reporters and the supreme competitor got into an insult-laden confrontation. Buffalo News columnist Jerry Sullivan threw the ultimate dagger in a postgame column, calling Miller a "run-of-the-mill goalie". The next game, Lindy Ruff played rookie Jhonas Enroth. The mentally worn-down netminder sat in the press box and watched his team win in a shootout over Montreal.
There's very little these days that separates the best goaltenders from the average. Most goalies are big, move quickly, use the butterfly style and are well-trained in positioning. What separates the .910 save percentage starting goaltenders from the .930 types is focus. Recently, I spoke to a college goaltending coach who said the most difficult part of playing the position is the mental strain. When he was a player, even his family, friends and girlfriend were barred from speaking with him on game day. Imagine going through the mental preparation 31 games in a row with the pressure of one of the most critical fan bases in sports, as Miller did.
Since "rock bottom", the Sabres star has been exactly what we expect and what Buffalo needs to be a playoff contender. The seven games after the goalie's rest saw no more than two goals allowed and save percentages ranging from .913 to .976. Because coach Lindy Ruff has opted to play prevent defense in several games after getting a lead, Miller has been forced to make miraculous saves in high pressure situations. As per usual, Ruff will let his team sink or swim on the back of his goalie.
While the Sabres have been favored to make playoffs due to games in hand and a beneficial trade-deadline move to add Brad Boyes, there will be several factors working against Buffalo's stopper down the stretch, like
It's become blatantly obvious that Buffalo made a boneheaded offseason decision to allow Toni Lydman to walk. The current Ducks defenseman is plus-25 with 19 assists and 143 blocked shots this season. In 2009-10 with the Sabres, Lydman was plus-10 in 67 games, posting 20 points as well. Not to mention the 33-year-old would have brought veteran presence to a young team whose captain Craig Rivet had been a healthy scratch up until he was waived.
Lydman's exit combined with that of Henrik Tallinder to New Jersey caused Buffalo to bring in Jordan Leopold and Shaone Morrisonn. Leopold has performed offensively scoring 11 goals and 33 points, but has blocked 44 less shots than Lydman and is minus-3, Morrisonn has just five points and is minus-1 with 66 blocked shots in 48 games.
The Sabres put more onus on the young D-men in front of Miller, often causing mixed results. Last year's top rookie Tyler Myers was plus-7 over a recent 16 game stretch. Before that, he was minus-16 for the season. Buffalo will have to hope Mike Weber, a rookie, can continue to be one of the team's top performing and most consistent defenseman. He is plus-10 despite only playing 41 games. Another member of the under-25 Sabres defenseman club is Andrej Sekera, who has gone from great to healthy-scratched back to top-of-the-line. Sekera bounced back well after a benching, but mostly on the offensive side. He is minus-1 in 58 games with only 62 blocked shots.
The only true veteran leader and consistent performer the rag tag group has is Steve Montador, who is plus-14 this season with 112 blocked shots in 57 games.
With "inconsistent" in the description for most of Buffalo's defensemen, the pressure will continue to end up on Miller to take down two-on-ones and breakaways as well as battle through screens by big forwards pushing his guys around.
Drew Stafford was the answer for about a week, to the post-Briere era failure to put the puck in the net by Sabres forwards. Stafford has 24 goals, 12 of which came in the form of four hat tricks, and only 14 assists. In other words, when he hasn't been scoring, he hasn't been creating. And since in the book next to regression to the mean, you see a guy who gets four hat tricks when he's never scored more than 20 goals in a season, it is unlikely that Buffalo can count on Stafford to carry any sort of load over the pivotal stretch. After a hat trick on February 13 against the Islanders, Stafford has just one goal in eight games.
Adding Brad Boyesa one-time 40-goal scorer albeit with some pretty good names on his line in St. Louiswill no doubt help the offense. And Thomas Vanek is a quality producer with 52 points in 63 games. After that, it gets ugly for the Sabres on offense. Derek Roy is still Buffalo's fourth best scorer despite only playing 35 games before injury ended his season. Jason Pominville is far from living up to the $5 million he's making with only 35 points in 54 games and Tim Connolly is a complete mess. Lately, Buffalo has relied on Mike Grier and Paul Gaustad to get things going.
Just see how long that lasts. Not to mention that Patrick Kaleta has just eight points in 48 games and Rob Niedermayer still has zero goals in 52 games. Not to mention the underperformance by young forwards Nathan Gerbe and Tyler Ennisboth of whom were supposed to be 20-plus type scorers yet have only 21 combined in over 100 games.
Since scoring six goals against the Islanders February 13, the Sabres' offense has netted more than three goals only twice (that includes empty netters) in nine games and less than three five times. As if there wasn't enough pressure playing 35 of the last 36 games, every goal allowed is amplified by Buffalo's inability to score goals. In the last 10 games, eight were separated by one goal.
No Trustworthy Backup
Patrick Lalime is still on the Buffalo Sabres, but prospect Jhonas Enroth is the backup goaltender. Enroth has played well, but with less than 20 games remaining, might be lucky to see two. Buffalo has so many important games battling for the eighth place including playing the Maple Leafs twice, Thrashers, Hurricanes and Rangers once and the Bruins, Penguins and Devils sprinkled in. If Miller were to play in 17 of the last 19, he would land at 70 for the season, and that's with missing several games early in the year due to injury.
It seems that since the Sabres were a goal crease away from winning the Stanley Cup in 1999, coach Lindy Ruff and general manager Darcy Regier have made it their model to put mediocre players around the best goalie they can find. This year, Miller's save percentage is down about 15 points from his Vezina winning season in 2009-10, in part because both the offensive and defensive deck has been stacked against him. No matter, as despite the team's futility and the loss of defensive talent, Miller will shoulder most of the blame if the Sabres fail to make the playoffs.

(Classes begin Tuesday, January 21)
Once admitted to Temple, your journey will begin in the summer at New Student Orientation, an overnight event. You will take placement tests to determine your Math, English, and Foreign Language placement. These scores will help determine what classes you will register for in the Fall semester. If you begin in the Spring semester, your orientation will be abbreviated.
At the Orientation, you will attend an Academic Preview of your college and major requirements. The New Student Orientation also includes a variety of fun activities to introduce you to the many opportunities you are provided as a Temple student! You will have the opportunity to meet with both an Academic Advisor and a Peer Advisor to choose classes from the General Education Curriculum, build a schedule, and learn about the requirements for your degree. There are many opportunities for first year students to explore; taking a Freshman Seminar is just one of the ideas we can suggest!
If you are undecided about a major, no problem! You will be guided to take general classes from the General Education Curriculum while you research your options.
You will make an appointment to meet with your Academic Advisor in October or November to plan your Spring semester. After that, as long as you remain in good standing, you can generally register on your own through Self Service Banner at TUportal.
You are always welcome to speak with your advisor about concerns, questions, scheduling issues or revisions, semester planning or just to get some feedback. You may have questions about policies and procedures, study abroad, internships and career options, changing your major…just ask!
If you find yourself struggling, please speak with your advisor as soon as possible so that we can point you in the best direction which could include tutoring or counseling. If you are considering withdrawing from a class, this must be done with an advisor and it must be completed by the published deadline.
At this appointment, we will review your core curriculum, major and elective course equivalencies, and answer any questions you may have about them. Your advisor will explain your major requirements and help you plan your upcoming semester as well as look ahead toward graduation. After your first semester, as long as you remain in good standing, you can register on your own through Self Service Banner at TUportal. You can register as a part-time student or a full-time student; to be considered full-time, you must take between 12 and 17 credits.
You are always welcome to speak with your advisor about concerns, questions, scheduling issues or revisions, semester planning or just to get some feedback.

We understand the need to find a balance between the many responsibilities that you manage in addition to returning to college. Some students work during the day; Temple University Ambler has a variety of classes that are available in the evening and several majors that you can complete entirely at night. Other students are only able to take daytime classes and enjoy the traditional scheduling method.
Some students need to attend part-time, while others are ready to complete a degree by taking the maximum amount of credit allowed. Each of you is different. We meet with each student individually to offer guidance, suggestions, and direction.
If you have some college experience and are interested in completing a degree program, you will first meet with an Admissions counselor and then speak to an advisor. Likewise, if you have no college experience, you would meet with an Admissions counselor to discuss your goals and your options.
If you decide to apply, we can assist with that process. If you decide to take a class or two before making that commitment you can attend as a "non-degree seeking (non-matriculated)" student. We can offer ideas on appropriate courses and help with the registration process until you are ready to apply. Students are encouraged to apply to a degree program before reaching 30 credits! To contact Admissions, call 267-468-8100.
Some students join the LifeLong Learning Society and focus on non-credit classes as well. There are many options for you!
Temple University welcomes students from other colleges and universities who wish to enroll in courses on any of our campuses. Students should bring or fax a permission form from their home institution, listing the specific Temple courses that have been approved for transfer. If the courses have prerequisites, students must provide proof of having taken and passed them. Some courses may also require special authorization from instructors or departments at Temple (e.g. business courses numbered 0100 and above).
High School students who are interested in taking a College level class must obtain an approval letter from their guidance department indicating that they are academically qualified to enroll. The letter should also verify that class will or will not be used for High School credit. An official High School transcript needs to be obtained as well.
To enroll, the student should contact the Academic Advising office at 267-468-8200 to make an appointment. If the course requested is a Math, English or Foreign Language class, placement tests will be required.
In lieu of using the permission form from their home institutions, students may use the comprehensive, Non-degree seeking (non-matriculated) and Visiting Student Registration Form. This form must be faxed or sent via postal mail to the Temple University campus you are planning to attend. The full listing of the campus contact information for all campuses is available by visiting the Instructions for completing the Registration Form at www.temple.edu/summer.
Non-degree seeking (non-matriculated) and visiting students interested in taking classes at Temple University Ambler and Temple University Fort Washington during the Spring 2014 semester should download the following form.

Current students are always welcome to speak with your advisor about concerns, questions, scheduling issues or revisions, semester planning or just to get some feedback. You may have questions about the General Education, policies and procedures, study abroad, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, internships and career options, changing your major… just ask! If you find yourself struggling, please speak with your advisor as soon as possible so that we can point you in the best direction which could include tutoring or counseling. If you are considering withdrawing from a class, this must be done with an advisor and it must be completed by the published deadline.
The section below was developed to address some frequently asked questions but don't hesitate to call, e-mail, or meet with us in person to find out more. Please make an appointment to: change your major, withdraw from classes, petition for an overload of credits, seek special authorization, discuss taking classes elsewhere, or any situations involving academic probation.
Planning Your Schedule Academic advisors are available to assist you with planning your schedule of courses for each semester; however, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with your academic program and requirements. If, after meeting with your advisor, you do not have a solid understanding of your academic program, make sure that you ask questions to get a clear picture of what is expected of you in order to earn the degree you wish to pursue. The following resources can be helpful when planning your schedule:
Things to consider when planning your schedule:
Steps to scheduling your classes:
We encourage all students to meet with an advisor each semester. Use your advisor as a resource in understanding your program and making academic decisions, but remember that you are ultimately responsible for your decisions.

we found the hotel staff very helpful and pleasant. the location was ideal for sightseeing. the only let down was the room needed updating as it was quite dated. renovation was planned .

Hated it here. VERY shabby, smelly & dated. Our triple room was the same size as a single room! Rooms were NOT as roomy as they appear in the photos. Hotel staff making to much noise early in the mornings. Hotel staff creepy how they lerk in the passageways. Only ate breakfast there once, as the food was horrid and not enough choice. Only thing going for this hotel is its location. I would RECCOMEND staying across the road at the Ibis. Much newer & the same price

Found the hotel staff to be very helpful and courteous esp that young man who provided me with 2 panadol tablets when I had a spltting headache in the middle of the nite (I cam to see him at 3.30 am), the lady (fr China) who did such a good cleaning job, the room is extremely clean, great location near plenty of food stalls, would I stay there again? A very definite "Yes." Would I recommend it? Yes!

The major plus point of this hotel is its location. It's situated near the Burgis Market and Sin Lim, to cite a few. It's also near strategic bus stops and a few blocks from the MRT station. The rate is reasonable and the free breakfast is a comer.

Science Teacher, West Geauga High School

CHESTERLAND, OH -- A team of West Geauga High School students from 16 schools nationwide have qualified to participate in the Final Challenge, a national contest that encourages middle and high school students to develop and implement environmental programs that positively impact their communities. The team was awarded $10,000 in grants and scholarships for their entry in the LANDWATER Challenge earlier this academic year, and now, as a participant in the Final Challenge, they've been asked to take their environmental message to as wide an audience as possible.
This year's fourth annual Lexus Eco Challenge, created by Lexus and Scholastic, is offering two $30,000 grand prizes and eight $15,000 first prizes to the most innovative programs nationwide. The prizes will be awarded in April in celebration of Earth Month. In all, $500,000 will be awarded.
The students are now taking the Environmental Discovery Project worldwide. In addition to local speaking engagements and seminars, they are partnering with organizations in Ecuador, Afghanistan, Kenya and Burma on recycling projects. These projects include recycling human waste (with composting toilets), bottles, cans, chip bags, tires, paper and other recyclables. For each of these recyclables, they are looking for new ways to encourage residents to recycle, use less energy and reuse. You can join their efforts by bringing your recycling to recycling centers and bringing your paper to the school. Try out the new composting toilets at local Geauga County parks to see what the West Geauga students are helping to construct in other countries. And try to stop by the high school and look at the rain garden our front that is protected by rubber mulch made from recycled tires and grows well thanks to composted kitchen scraps and sterilized waste. \
"These young adults have accomplished some amazing things. Lexus Eco Challenge has helped them focus on immediate ways to improve the lives of others," said Natalie Cooper, their Advisor.

BARRINGTON, IL -- Douglas Tallamy proposes that we create a new 22-million acre national park. This "Suburban National Park" could become reality if every homeowner in the country replaced half his lawn with native plants.
A capacity audience attended Tallamy's program sponsored by Citizens for Conservation's Community Education Committee on February 12. "We have been gardening for aesthetics," he said, "and we need to start gardening for sustainability." Instead of putting beds of native flowers in a lawn, we can plant beds of lawn grass only where it is needed in a yard filled with native plants.
Tallamy's book Bringing Nature Home has been widely praised as a science-based case for the use of native plants in home landscaping. More than that, he shows that diverse native species support a healthy environment for birds, other wildlife, and people. At the University of Delaware where he is a professor and Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, research has shown that native plants support far more species of insects than do alien plants. For example, oak trees support 534 species of Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). These native insects are essential food for 90% of birds as well as for spiders and many small mammals. The web of life which nourishes us begins with plants that support a wide variety of insects. Biodiversity is a national resource, according to Tallamy. Just as we protect air and water, we should protect biodiversity, and that's easy for homeowners to do.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Voluntary conservation of private land received a boost yesterday when President Obama mentioned the work of land trusts in his remarks introducing the landmark America's Great Outdoors Report at a reception in the East Room of the White House. The collective voice of land trusts was reflected in the report, which proposes to extend the enhanced tax incentive for conservation easement donations beyond 2011, fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), and focus a portion of LWCF on innovative projects that support urban parks, community green spaces and large-scale land conservation.
Mr. Obama said that "at a time when America's open spaces are controlled by a patchwork of groups, from government to land trusts to private citizens, it's clear that conservation in the 21st century is going to take more than what we can do here in Washington…Meeting the new test of environmental stewardship means finding the best ideas at the grassroots level, it means helping states, communities and nonprofits protect their own resources, and it means figuring out how the federal government can be a better partner in those efforts."
The report draws inspiration from hundreds of land trust participants at America's Great Outdoors listening sessions around the country. "I am proud of the nation's 1,700 land trusts for pioneering the voluntary conservation incentives and locally driven partnerships embraced in this report," Land Trust Alliance President Rand Wentworth said. "This initiative will significantly reorient federal conservation efforts to emphasize working lands and to embrace local governments and land trusts as effective partners in conserving the places that give meaning to our lives."
The report's vision statement describes a future in which "Rural lands—our working farms, ranches and forests—are conserved and restored through local partnerships." The president's Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Request makes a down payment on that vision by providing $200 million for the Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program and $900 million for the LWCF, some of which "will be competitively awarded to address priorities and leverage resources for urban parks and public-private conservation projects."
In communities across America, nonprofit land trusts are working with private landowners to keep farm, ranch and forest lands in productive use, create community parks and open space, protect important fish and wildlife habitat, and conserve our scenic and historic heritage. With the help of more than 100,000 volunteers and 2 million members, land trusts have conserved more than 37 million acres, including more than 12 million acres protected by voluntary conservation agreements with private landowners.
The Land Trust Alliance is a national conservation group that works on behalf of America's 1,700 land trusts to save the places people love by strengthening land conservation throughout America. The Alliance works to increase the pace and quality of conservation by advocating favorable tax policies, training land trusts in best practices and working to ensure the permanence of conservation in the face of continuing threats.

Baker's Lake Savanna is now a spectacular showplace of over 125 species of woodland wildflowers, including the rare Lespedeza violacea, violet bushclover. For 22 years volunteers have spent thousands of hours collecting seed, removing invasive brush and conducting prescribed burns at the preserve. The work continues and CFC welcomes new volunteers.

Little Traverse Conservancy
(231) 347-0991 | email@example.com
HARBOR SPRINGS, MI -- A beautiful property on the outskirts of Petoskey was recently donated to the Little Traverse Conservancy so that it could remain a natural sanctuary for animals for all time.
Martha "Marty" Alice Curtis was described as a private woman who had a strong connection to all living things and the earth. Born in Petoskey, Martha developed a love of farming growing up on her family's hobby farm. Her formal training was in nursing and she worked as a surgical nurse in both Petoskey and California. But her passion was animals.
One of Martha's closest friends, Lois Holmes, described Martha as generous, non-boastful, and someone who lived the simple life by choice. "I called her 'the St. Francis of Petoskey' because she believed every creature was entitled to life, including insects and spiders," Lois said. "She always felt that when she was with nature, she was close to God."
Late in high school, Martha owned and registered a small herd of Galloway cattle and used her own money to raise oats and hay for them. At one time, she started a business raising puppies to be trained as guide dogs for the blind.
In her will, Martha donated 25 acres of mixed forest and field, including beautiful views of Little Traverse Bay. The property has been identified as a "priority area" for the protection of water quality in the Little Traverse Bay Watershed Plan.
As part of her gift, Martha included money to remove the home and associated development and for ongoing stewardship of the property. She requested that hunting would not be allowed and that no trails or parking area be developed. Her desire was that the land be returned to its natural state so that local animals could find refuge there. "It was as if the wild animals knew that they were safe on that land," Lois said.
"And every year, the monarchs seemed to find refuge in Marty's woods and converged in the fields because of the milkweed. You could count on it every year."
The new preserve will be known as the Martha A. Curtis Nature Preserve. Lying adjacent to the Bay View Woods, the property greatly increases both watershed and wildlife protection in an otherwise developing region. "Natural lands like this — sitting amidst neighborhoods — serve a multitude of purposes for both wildlife and humans," said LTC Executive Director Tom Bailey.
"This preserve is a significant addition to land conservation in the area. Together with the Bay View Woods, it provides significant wildlife habitat and protects water quality by maintaining the natural hydrology of a large area with steep slopes that drain into Little Traverse Bay. It is a wonderful gift to the community and to conservation."
Since 1972, the Little Traverse Conservancy has been working as the oldest regional, non-profit land trust in Michigan. With the support of more than 4,100 members, the Little Traverse Conservancy works with private landowners and units of local government to permanently protect ecologically significant and scenic lands from development. Since it was founded, more than 40,000 acres and 105 miles of shoreline along our region's lakes, rivers, and streams have been set aside to remain in their natural state within Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet, Mackinac, and Chippewa counties. In addition, more than 6,000 young people participate in a Conservancy environmental education outing every year. For more information about the Little Traverse Conservancy and land protection options for your land, please contact their office at 231.347.0991 or visit www.landtrust.org.

The Black Swamp Conservancy
419.872.5263 | email@example.com
PERRYSBURG, OH -- Black Swamp Conservancy has passed the 9,000-acre mark in conserved lands.
The conservancy, based in Perrysburg, Ohio, is a non-profit land conservation organization dedicated to protecting and preserving natural and agricultural lands in northwest Ohio for the benefit of future generations. The organization serves a sixteen-county area that is about the size of the state of Connecticut.
"There are lots of benefits from land conservation, so this is an important milestone for all the citizens of northwest Ohio," said Kevin Joyce, executive director of the conservancy. "Parks and nature preserves provide space for healthy outdoor activities. Farmland preservation ensures the future of agriculture, Ohio's #1 industry. Woods and wetlands help keep our water and air clean."
The conservancy passed the 9,000-acre mark when it reached a land conservation agreement with the owners of a 235-acre family farm west of Fremont.
Since then, Black Swamp Conservancy has added to its protected lands a 63-acre woods outside Tiffin, 145 acres of prime farmland near Delta in Fulton County, a 65-acre nature preserve on the Sandusky River north of Fremont, and an 18-acre wetland and waterway in the city of Oregon.
"9,300 acres is a lot of land," said Mr. Joyce. "It would cover more than 7,000 football fields, including the end zones. If laid end-to-end, those fields would stretch from our office in Perrysburg to the White House in Washington, D.C."
The conservancy preserves land mostly through perpetual land conservation agreements known as conservation easements. Through such an agreement, the landowner gives up the right to develop the property – such as by constructing buildings, putting in roads or driveways or subdividing the land – in order to protect its conservation values, which might include its value as prime farmland or as habitat for native plants and animals.
Every land conservation is filed with the county recorder, and the use restrictions become binding on the current owner and everyone else who acquires ownership at any time in the future, in perpetuity.
Under the terms of its conservation agreements, Black Swamp Conservancy is responsible for ensuring that the use restrictions are not violated. However, the conservancy does not become an owner of the property. If the land conservation agreement is broken, the conservancy may take legal action to stop the misconduct and return the property to its original condition.
"Our purpose at Black Swamp Conservancy is to preserve the rural heritage, unique natural habitats, and lakes and streams of northwest Ohio," said the conservancy's executive director, Kevin Joyce. "Our hope is that, by protecting our valuable land and water resources, we help create healthier communities with strong, sustainable economies."
"The economic benefits of land conservation shouldn't be overlooked," added Mr. Joyce. "For example, our friends at Black Swamp Bird Observatory tell us that we had 50,000 birdwatchers in the Port Clinton area in just one week in May. Fishermen flock to northwest Ohio when the walleye make their run up the rivers every spring. Those visitors are spending a lot of money while they're in our area."

Welcome to Van Ness Water Gardens |
Print This Page |
Water Gardening is the essence of life. A Water Garden is home to the unsurpassed beauty of radiant water irises and Water Lilies, the glimmering iridescence of Goldfish, the graceful movements of Koi, and rippling reflections from a fountain of water and the sky above.
Water has immense attraction to all people, satisfying our senses with the relaxing sounds that only water can make. For centuries people have enjoyed the beauty of water fountains and water gardens in their public squares and private estates. Water gardens create a natural focal point, whether located in the home garden, shopping mall, or office building.
Water Gardening designs vary, according to the space a Water Garden fills and the water gardeners desires. Tropical water gardens with exotic lotus flowers may fill one water gardener's wishes, while another may dream of relaxing beside a whispering waterfall. Water gardens of all designs provide superb eco-systems for water plants, outdoor fish ponds and raising frogs in a pond.
The reasons for considering water gardening are varied. Commercial landscape architects use water gardening for effect and uniqueness. Homeowners want to exchange their rakes, lawn mowers and weed eaters for a work free garden. Others desire a pond "just like grandpa always had," and many of us are simply looking for a garden to enjoy, a haven for relaxation.
Water does have a relaxing effect, whether it is the rhythmic waves of the ocean, a gently running brook, or the quiet beauty of a pond. While we may be unable to recreate nature with oceans and brooks, we can find pleasure in designing and building garden ponds.
To develop your own water garden, browse through our website. You will find everything you need to build the water garden of your dreams including submersible pumps, liners, uv lights, fertilizer, algaecides, soil for water plants, fantails, shubunkins, Chinese moors, snails, frogs, toads, tadpoles, oxygen grasses, papyrus and bog plants, as well as important information on aquatic life, algae, mosquitoes, plant tips, water balance and bacteria everything you need to grow plants in water.

Tyler Ryan, named the SCBA TV Personality of the Year, joined Good Day in early 2011, after many years as a radio and television personality in the Midlands, Charleson, and the Northeast.
BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. (WACH) — Nothing inspires someone to learn like incentives. Incentives can include a raise at work, honors at school, or if you are a high school student in South Carolina, a little education could mean winning a Mazda 3.
The South Carolina National Safety Council, in an effort to cut down on the number of teenaged related traffic collisions and fatalities, has teamed up with law enforcement, State Farm, and Wray Automotive for the "Celebrate My Drive" event on Saturday.
According to the council's Executive Director Brooke Russell, 164 drivers between the ages of 15 and 24 died on Palmetto State roads in 2011. She said that the Celebrate My Drive event, including entertainment, prizes, and education, is all aimed at reducing that number this year and beyond.
In an effort to build interest and attendance, a Mazda 3 will also be given away on Saturday, courtesy of Wray Automotive.
The Celebrate My Drive event is a national initiative, and also include events in Canada.
Saturday's event is open to any South Carolina high school student and their parents on Saturday, September 15th at the Blythewood High School. There is more information on the South Carolina National Safety Council's website.

BROOKLYN – Earlier this week, I spent an evening shadowing Nathaniel Butler from NBA Photos as he photographed the Trail Blazers-Nets game in Brooklyn. During the game, Butler gave me a camera and let me shoot the action. What follows are some of the images I took that night, with my thoughts and comments below each picture. These pictures have not been cropped or color-corrected or anything else. This is what I shot … for better, or for, probably mostly, worse.
As the Blazers took the floor to warm up directly in front of me, Nic Batum started hoisting 15-footers from the right wing. I picked up my camera, zoomed in a bit, half-pushed the button down to make sure the image was focused, and then fired off the shot. What I didn't account for was that Batum would jump when he shot, so my photo chopped off his arms and the ball.
Once the game started, sure enough the Nets ran a play to get Kevin Garnett a shot at the top of the key. I saw the play developing and as soon as KG caught the ball and squared up, I took this picture. Unfortunately, as you may notice, I managed to capture all of the players out of focus. But the basket support and the fans in the front rows are crystal clear. Also, terrific job by me to cut off the shot clock. (more…)

"But they took time to say that one thing that was helping women with breast cancer more than anything was the Affordable Care Act – that they would have access to care without having been discriminated against because of a preexisting medical condition. No longer would they have annual or lifetime limits on the health insurance that they would receive. Having the least stress from all of that is a very healthy thing for people who have a diagnosis."

In the White House, though, first with President Clinton, we increased the bilateral programs to fight AIDS and helped create, authorize and fund the Global Fund. Then, under the leadership of President Bush, we established PEPFAR and provided the necessary funding to ramp up emergency response to the crisis. President Obama has strengthened those efforts and boosted our investments by law firming the national HIV/AIDS strategy."

SYLVESTER, Ga. -- A Sylvester man is dead after being electrocuted while attempting to repair a microwave Saturday, investigators say.
Jimmy Lee Roddy, 25, was found unresponsive after police and EMS units responded to an address on the 500 block of West Pinson Street. Roddy was later pronounced dead by doctors at Phoebe Worth medical center.
According to investigator Ronnie Graddy, Roddy didn't unplug the microwave when he was attempting to repair it and was electrocuted. Roddy's sister told investigators that she heard a loud "pop" and saw Roddy walk into the room and say he had shocked himself. Roddy then collapsed to the floor and died.
"Some people may say, 'well it's only plugged into a 120 volt receptacle, but there are a lot of amps that are running through that line and into appliances like a microwave and it's the amps that will kill you," Graddy said.

Trons Kill, remember the Electron is not your friend. An extremely small amperage can cause your heart to go into lockdown, and you die. Respect electricity, if you aren't trained in the correct way to work on a piece of electrical equipment, don't work on it.

Even unplugged, a microwave oven has enough juice left in capacity to kill. Many experienced repairers have been electrocuted trying to repair a microwave.

Books: The Ultimate Christian Classics
Top Thirteen Countdown
"People and movements can be defined by the books they read and remember. The time it takes to read and digest a book requires us to engage someone else's ideas with more seriousness than almost any other activity. So it is with some trepidation that we present this list." With this opening statment, the editors at Christianity Today plunged boldly into their October 2006 article, "The Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals."
They asked scores of evangelical leaders to submit their nominations for landmark titles that have been published since WWII. As a staff, CT vigorously debated and then ranked the Top 50 books that have not merely entertained, but have shaped American evangelicalism as it is today. Following are the very best of their consensus; the Top 13 books that have changed the way we think, talk, witness, worship and live.
13. Evidence That Demands A Verdict
Josh McDowell
Who says faith is only for the heart and not the head? Not Josh McDowell.
12. Power Evangelism
John Wimber with Kevin Springer
Lifestyle evangelism is great, but signs and wonders are spectacular.
11. Celebration of Discipline
Richard J. Foster
It "opened the door for many evangelicals to intentionally practice spiritual disciplines and find a connection with the church throughout history," writes Phyllis Alsdurf, professor of journalism at Bethel College.
10. Evangelism Explosion
D. James Kennedy
This more than any other book ("The Four Spiritual Laws" is a pamphlet) gave evangelicals a systematic way to share their faith. It made the question, "If you were to die tonight, do you know for sure that you would go to heaven?" standard evangelistic fare.
9. Through Gates of Splendor
Elisabeth Elliot
The account of the martyrdom of five young missionaries at the hands of a feared "Stone Age" tribe in Ecuador helped launch a generation of cross-cultural evangelists into the world's hard places…
8. Managing Your Time
Ted W. Engstrom
Evangelicals have historically been entrepreneurs and mystics, so we have run into much personal burnout and organizational chaos. With this book, Ted W. Engstrom gave evangelical leaders permission to organize their ministries rationally and efficiently.
7. Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger
Ronald J. Sider
"God is on the side of the poor!" Sider writes. To neglect them is to neglect the gospel.
6. The Living Bible
Kenneth Taylor
One of the first in a wave of easy-to-read, modern English versions of the Bible, Kenneth N. Taylor's Living Bible came out in 1971, complete with its signature green cover. Book design has come a long way since then.
5. Knowing God
J. I. Packer
Packer was magisterial in substance, but adopted the tone of a fellow traveler. He convinced us that the study of God "is the most practical project anyone can engage in."
4. The God Who Is There
Francis Schaeffer
"This book, and its companion volumes, accomplished something startling and necessary: It made intellectual history a vital part of the evangelical mental landscape, opening up the worlds particularly of art and philosophy to a subculture that was suspicious and ignorant of both," writes John Stackhouse, professor of theology and culture at Regent College.
3. Mere Christianity
C. S. Lewis
Anyone who has read this far into the list doesn't need any explanation about why Lewis's work of apologetics placed this high—right?
2. Understanding Church Growth
Donald Anderson McGavran
Although evangelicals have always been enamored with large and growing numbers (e.g., the Great Awakenings), it was Donald McGavran who gave us phrases such as "church growth" and "the homogeneous unit principle" and who made the endeavor a "science." Today, every pastor in North America has a decided opinion about whether or how much he or she buys into church-growth principles.
1. Prayer: Conversing With God
Rosalind Rinker
In the 1950s, evangelical prayer was characterized by Elizabethan wouldsts and shouldsts. Prayer meetings were often little more than a series of formal prayer speeches. Then Rosalind Rinker taught us something revolutionary: Prayer is a conversation with God. The idea took hold, sometimes too much (e.g., "Lord, we just really wanna …"). But today evangelicals assume that casual, colloquial, intimate prayer is the most authentic way to pray.
This excerpt is quoted from "The Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals" by the editors of Christianity Today. The rest of the list will provide you with plenty of classic reading material. Numbers 14 - 50 include such memorable titles as Basic Christianity (Stott), The Cost of Discipleship (Bonhoeffer), A Wrinkle In Time (L'Engle), Boundaries (Cloud & Townsend), Desiring God (Piper) and Christy (Marshall). This list would be a great jumping off place to begin a library of outstanding Christian classics.
Good Eats. Great Reads.
Hungry enough to commit yourself to eating through a crisp and delicious bunch of aforementioned papyrus leaves? Help has arrived! All you need to do is join the (200 or so) good folks at Callapidder Days for Katrina's Spring Reading Challenge.
No pressure, it's just for fun, prizes, and for the love of reading. I'm an amazon.com used-book lover, so I've decided to chew through at least six of the thirteen books which are wilting woefully on my nightstand. (Listed below.) Then I'll begin nibbling my way through the unread classics featured above.
My Thirteen Spring Books
1. Adventures in Missing the Point by McLaren & Campolo
2. A Heart Like His by Beth Moore
3. Authentic Faith by Gary Thomas
4. Becoming Conversant With The Emerging Church
by D. A. Carson
5. Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller
6. The Creative Call by Elsheimer
7. Cure For the Common Life by Max Lucado
8. Generation Next Parenting by Tricia Goyer
9. Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton

Such a variety of authors - their POV is so varied.
Some of my students & I are appreciating Celebration of Discipline right now.
I've been lax about Portrait of a Lady, I'll finish it someday
In the meantime, I'm reading the Lexus & the Olive Branch. - 9:02 PM

Like the quote of being defined by what we read, I think that is so true. I like to check out blogrolls to get an idea about the author of the blog I am reading.
Reading complete books is not usually my thing. If I don't click w/a book right off, I usually put it away.
I can't seem to get into any new books for re-reading some older ones.
#1 Preacher and Prayer, E.M.Bounds
#2 God Chaser, Tommy Tenney
#3 Woman Thou Art Loosed, T.D.Jakes
#4 The God that Hears, ________
Other authors I like are: Francis Frangpaine, David Wilkerson, Juanita Bynum, & Joyce Myers - 9:08 PM
That's a great list. I've read a few of them, but will have to look at the list some more and read a few more.
I'm reading Prayer by Phillip Yancey right now and I have about 15 unread or half-read books sitting in front of me that I want to get to. - 3:30 AM
- Andrea said...
thanks for this list! I will defnitely be putting some on my must read--as soon as I finish what i've got--
so many to read, so little time. :)
Good luck with your challenge!! - 4:42 AM
- Tammy said...
Love your lists....the top 13 Christian classics and also what's on your reading list, e-mom! In fact, one of them is on my Spring reading list- The Cure for the Common Life. I can't wait!
And in our book club last year, we read Blue Like Jazz...it's not one I ordinarily would have picked up on my own, but I really liked it...very unique Christian perspective.
Right now, I'm finishing up my very light reading "Sisterchicks in Gondolas" and have also started "Lessons from a Sheepdog" by Keller.
And am about to start one not originally on my list...a friend started a new book club and we'll be reading What's so Amazing about Grace by Phillip Yancy.
Happy Reading, e-mom! Blessings! - 8:48 AM
- crickl's nest said...
Thank you for the inspiration to get to work. I've been needing to get back to some Christian growth reading for a long time now. My husband has most of these....all I need to do is pull them off the shelf!
- Ellen B. said...
Wow, those are some great books! Happy reading to ya!
- Memiors of a Home Schooler said...
Love your list, some good reads. I've read Blue Like Jazz and Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller, both very good. He has a new one that looks a little different and interesting, To Own a Dragon...anyways, enjoyed browsing both your lists, happy reading!
- amy said...
Excellent list..Hubby used to work at Family Christian. The story behind Gates of Splendor is just awesome!
- Tammy said...
PS...I just tagged you for an award...:) Come take a look!

I am currently reading The Long Neglected Covenant by Ray R. Sutton and I'm reading Knowing God for the second time.
My soul obeys the sovereign call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise Lord,
Oh, help my unbelief.
A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
Into thy hands I fall;
Thou art the Lord,my righteousness,
My Savior, and my all
This is a book I have gone back to many times. - 1:38 PM
- Ruth said...
i reeeeeeally like blue like jazz. now i'm reading the irresistable revolution and am really stirred/challenged by it.
shalom! - 3:19 PM
- Tricia Goyer said...
This is an EXCELLENT list. Also, Experiencing God (workbook) by Henry Blackaby changed my walk with God. I've gone through it three times, and I just bought new workbooks for me and my 17-year-old son to do together.
Also, My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers. - 5:56 AM
- e-Mom said...
leftcoastonlooker: If you want to read an updated version of Celebration, try The Life You've Always Wanted by Ortberg. It was required reading in one of my recent THEO classes. I'll take a peek at Lexus, thanks!
sista cala: Wise woman: I like to check out blogrolls to get an idea about the author of the blog I am reading.
Your reading list has some unfamiliar names on it--except for Bounds, Wilkerson & Meyers. I enjoy this blogging "thang" because it allows me to be exposed to new thoughts/authors from other denominational perspectives.
laura: Nice to hear from you! How are those little ones of yours? Yancy is a popular author but I don't believe I've read anything by him yet. Must do. Thanks for the suggestion. Hugs!
andrea: I hope you're able to find time to read a few on your list. Thanks for your encouragement! :~)
tammy: You've got the right stuff: a bookclub. I think I may start one. Everyone seems to like Blue Like Jazz (including my daughter) so I may begin my challenge with that book. (She also liked Cure for the Common Life very much.) Yancy seems really popular too, and I like the sound of the others you mentioned. Happy reading to you too!
BTW, Thank you so much for your nomination, Wow! I'm truly honored. I'll be passing on the linky love in a new post soon. :~)
lori: Knowing God is a classic that I haven't read yet. Your endorsement (and quote) make it seem all the more appealing. BTW, when do you find time to read??? :~)
ruth: Shalom back to you. (Lol, I love all things Jewish too.) Thanks for your endorsement of Blue Like Jazz. If I like it, I'll read Irresistable Revolution too. Cheers!
tricia goyer: I believe I read about Blackaby at your website... about finding out what God was doing, and joining Him? A profound thought, and it stuck with me, thanks. I'll have to check out the author. BTW, I'm looking forward to reading your Generation Next Parenting, which I won as a prize from Jennifer at Snapshot.
Chambers is a classic, for sure. Glad you're involved in a study with your son. Good Mom. My daughter and I are about to begin Beth Moore's Daniel study.
Thanks for stopping by. :~) - 2:35 PM
- e-Mom said...
crickl's nest: You are blessed to already own so many of these. I intend to purchase them used and begin a Christian classics library... once I finish with all my unread books of course. :~)
ellen b. Thanks!
memoirs of a homeschooler: Donald Miller sure seems to be a popular author. Thanks for your heads up.
amy: Yes, Elisabeth Elliot's story is amazing. I believe the movie they made of this book was called, "Tip of the Spear." Since your husband worked at Family Christian, you must have wonderful library of Christian books! :~) - 2:45 PM
- eph2810 said...
Kind of strange, but "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis comes up the third time this week in my blog reads. And we just had a quote by C.S. Lewis from that exact book...Wondering if I should be reading this in the near future.
I have "Get out of the Pit" by Beth Moore in the reading 'queue'. Will start it after Easter Sunday...
Blessings to your week and always. - 5:12 PM
- e-Mom said...
eph2810: You certainly can't go wrong with C. S. Lewis. Also, I know several women who have studied Get Out Of the Pit by Beth Moore. They thought it was excellent. I'm beginning Beth's study of Daniel with my daughter tonight. Woohoo!
Blessings! - 11:33 AM
- Katrina said...
Great Spring Reading Thing list, e-Mom, and I also enjoyed reading about the books that have shaped American evangelicalism. Interesting. Thanks for being part of the reading challenge. Enjoy your reading!

Can you map other, vocal-like instruments to it?
If there is a synth that sounds like a choir, could this part be mapped to vocals?
Can you map other, vocal-like instruments to it?
If there is a synth that sounds like a choir, could this part be mapped to vocals?
Err, no.
The Kinks [ ]
Neil Young [ ]
Raconteurs [ ]
Blue Oyster Cult []
Jimi Hendrix [ ]
Cheap Trick [ ]
Looking at the tools it, I'm sure it can be done. I'm just wondering if it should be done.
If you have an instrumental song that has a hummable melody, if it would be okay to put that part on the vocals, if it's playable and fun.
Yeah, it comes down to playability.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I don't see having a hum-a-long chart to an instrumental song being too fun.
I think if it was a choir, you could do it. So if the synth sounds enough like a choir that the effect is the same, you could probably do that then too. I wouldn't do it for just any instrument, but in your specific case it might be more fun to have that part charted than not, with the lyrics all charted as "Ahh," if that's what it sounds like. Hard to say without hearing the song. I'd say give it a shot, and if the people who play it during the early phases of peer review say it sucks, then remove that part of the chart
Being a fan of Enigma's Sadness Part 1, I feel what you are getting at. I'm just not sure that a synth would have enough range or variety like a real chorus can give, But like others here, I would loved to be proved wrong.

Puck drops at the Garden as Bruins season starts
Posted: 01/19/13 at 7:00 pm Updated: 01/20/13 at 9:29 am
Tags: Bruins NHL
BOSTON (WHDH) -- After 119 days of the NHL lockout, ready or not, the puck drops tonight for the Bruins.
"I don't know quite what to expect, how I will feel at the end of it, but it will be a tiring season," said Andrew Ference, Bruins defenseman.
"You cross your fingers a little bit and hope there's as much cohesion and sharpness as you can at this time and hope it's more than the other team," said Claude Julien, Bruins head coach.
The B's only test against "another team" was a big failure, losing to the Providence Bruins, their minor league team.
"We know that we made some mistakes, we need to address those, but tonight is the real start, so we've got to be ready for that," said Zdeno Chara, Bruins captain.
The game against the New York Rangers will be their first "real" test. If the Bruins want to be the best, Claude Julian believes you need to play the best.
"I would rather play one of the best teams in the conference than not. Right now, let's go at it," said Julien.
With a shortened season no doubt each of the Bruins' 48 games will carry extra significance, but regardless of what happens tonight, the Bruins will live to play another day.
Although the same can't be said for the loser of tomorrow's game at Gillette Stadium, a Patriots, Ravens rematch in the AFC title game with the Pats looking to relive last year's outcome.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A- A+F Campus Strictness: Columbia security is oftentimes cited as more helpful and prompt at answering distress calls than the NYPD. From what I've heard and experienced, Columbia is quite fair when it comes to academic and social security. Caught cheating? You're out. But campus security is definitely functional without being overbearing.
B A+F Campus Strictness: Since this is a private bible teaching school they are very strict about certain things. No drinking, no staying out after curfew(2am) no pda no drugs and no fighting.
A A+F Campus Strictness: One has to follow the rules of the university and the housing office, or else one can risk receiving sanctions, getting on probation, or being thrown out of housing. But most students should have no problem with following the rules. Partying is allowed with reasonable limits. Illicit drug use and underage drinking are not allowed.
B A+F Campus Strictness: When it comes to campus safety, the campus security is rather strict about things like swiping into buildings, throwing items out windows (which results in immediate loss of dorm housing), and going onto roof tops. Understandably, these restrictions are to maintain student safety. As a "wet campus" underage drinking is rarely enforced unless a medical team is called to a scene in which case underage drinking is reported and sometimes penalized.
B+ A+F Campus Strictness: I haven't been here long, but it doesn't seem to be too strict of a school.
{{review.LetterGrade}} {{review.SectionName}} at {{review.SchoolName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Sara Cervantes
Columbia is very lenient when it comes to drug and alcohol offenses, and disciplinary action usually does not extend past a Saturday class on drug safety. Rules do exist, and all freshman dorms are "dry" (no alcohol allowed) in theory, but enforcement of these rules is generally lax. Rule enforcement is generally up to dorm RAs, and most will let you get away with things as long as there are no complaints.
That being said, Public Safety has no qualms with breaking up a dorm party or taking down names of students who are belligerently drunk. Additionally, Columbia is very concerned about the safety of its students and will call CAVA (Columbia Area Volunteer Ambulance, a free student-run ambulance service) if a student is too drunk to walk straight/function properly. Safety comes first, and students are generally not reprimanded after being treated for overindulgence. Additionally, the NYPD is rarely if ever involved in student activities, with exceptions being made in particularly extreme or off-campus cases.
