- Parton recombination and fluctuations of conserved charges (2007)
- We study various fluctuation and correlation signals of the deconfined state using a dynamical recombination approach (quark Molecular Dynamics, qMD). We analyse charge ratio fluctuations, charge transfer fluctuations and baryon-strangeness correlations as a function of the center of mass energy with a set of central Pb+Pb/Au+Au events from AGS energies on (Elab = 4 AGeV) up to the highest RHIC energy available (V sNN = 200 GeV) and as a function of time with a set of central Au+Au qMD events at V sNN = 200 GeV with and without applying our hadronization procedure. For all studied quantities, the results start from values compatible with a weakly coupled QGP in the early stage and end with values compatible with the hadronic result in the final state. We show that the loss of the signal occurs at the same time as hadronization and trace it back to the dynamical recombination process implemented in our model.
- Multifragmentation, clustering, and coalescence in nuclear collisions (2005)
- Nuclear collisions at intermediate, relativistic, and ultra-relativistic energies offer unique opportunities to study in detail manifold fragmentation and clustering phenomena in dense nuclear matter. At intermediate energies, the well known processes of nuclear multifragmentation -- the disintegration of bulk nuclear matter in clusters of a wide range of sizes and masses -- allow the study of the critical point of the equation of state of nuclear matter. At very high energies, ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions offer a glimpse at the substructure of hadronic matter by crossing the phase boundary to the quark-gluon plasma. The hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma created in the fireball of a ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision can be considered, again, as a clustering process. We will present two models which allow the simulation of nuclear multifragmentation and the hadronization via the formation of clusters in an interacting gas of quarks, and will discuss the importance of clustering to our understanding of hadronization in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Barry Callebaut and Duo can look back at several years of close cooperation resulting in the development of various projects. Take a look at the numerous corporate websites for example: they often get a redesign or some additional features are added. Every now and then the company needs a new website to support a campaign or event such as the World Chocolate Masters, the celebration of 100 years Callebaut, the Shanghai expo and so on...
When Barry Callebaut acquires or takes over other players active in the chocolate market, they frequently turn to Duo for the development of the new website. In 2009 Callebaut took over the Spanish Chocovic, one of the Drupal websites in our portfolio.
During that time periode, our team has worked on dozens of international websites but our expertise was also used to develop a couple of web applications such as the intranet for Barry Callebaut.

Amtrak reports record riders and revenue in Michigan
Amtrak trains in Michigan had a record number of riders and revenue for the fiscal year that ended last month. Michigan Department of Transportation spokeswoman Janet Foran says Amtrak riders have increased steadily since 2008 when gas prices spiked over $4 per gallon.
Nearly 800,000 people rode one of three passenger train lines in the state bringing in close to $28 million in ticket revenue "It goes to show that people like to have transportation choices," Foran said.
The record numbers come despite major slow-downs over the summer on the most popular line from Detroit to Chicago.
The biggest ridership increase was on the line that runs from Port Huron through East Lansing to Chicago.
Foran says the summer months and the upcoming holiday season are the busiest times for train riders.

2012 marked the 10-year anniversary of the Good Samaritan Flyin' To The Hoop tournament and they gave the fans one hell of a show. Adding an extra day of basketball action to their usual three-day slate, 21 games were played over the span of four days at Trent Arena on the campus of Kettering Fairmont HS. Eric Horstman, Branden Cultice, and Co. did an amazing job of assembling teams from seven different states to show out for the fans. National powerhouses like Findlay Prep, Huntington Prep, and Grace Prep all drew near sold out crowds. In fact, Huntington Prep had the entire building on their feet before the game even started with the ridiculous dunk show that they were putting on for the 4,000 plus in attendance.
On the court action aside, there may not be a better independently ran event in the country. From the box scores after every game, to the prompt schedule, to the constantly updated website, to the fan interaction, to the accommodations….everything is done at a grade A level. Flyin' To The Hoop shows the media and coaches mad love, too. They've got a hospitality room that offers ribs, wings, chicken bites, desserts, and just about everything else you could imagine in between every game. There is a side room that has two big screen tv's showing all of the NFL playoff action for Saturday and Sunday, then the ESPN televised games from the HoopHall on Monday. To top it off, there's a hospitality suite in the host hotel where sponsors, college coaches, high school coaches, and media fraternize into the wee hours of the morning over pizza and drinks. I've been showing my face there for four years in a row, and don't see that changing any time soon.
With that said, here's a look at some of the top seniors from the 2012 Good Samaritan Flyin' To The Hoop:
Gary Harris, 6-4, SG, Hamilton Southeastern (IN): There were higher rated players and there were guys who scored more points, but there was no one who captivated the crowd in Dayton the way Gary Harris did. The Michigan State recruit was a videographers dream, combining a handful of threes with multiple power dunks. Two dunks that Harris put down that really stood out were the ridiculous poster that he got seconds into the game and then the sick reverse 360 he got down on the break. More than just an athlete, he played outstanding defense and seemed to do a great job of leading his teammates out there on the court. If he and his Hamilton Southeastern teammates are able to keep up the pressure they applied on D the way they did in Dayton, it's going to be tough to see anyone beating them once the Indiana state tourney rolls around.
Isaiah Austin, 7-0, PF/C, Grace Prep (TX): The most hyped senior at the event came into Dayton with a rep of not always living up to the lofty expectations that many have of him. The biggest hating that Austin usually receives centers around the fact that he always doesn't dominate on the offensive end and it was looking like his Twitter feed was going to be blowing up after this game. After a slow start initially against a gritty Thurgood Marshall squad, Austin dominated the second half of the game and was able to carry Grace Prep on his back to a convincing W. Showing off great hands and improved toughness, the Baylor recruit dunked everything he touched in the three second area and had far more blocked shots than the box reflected, giving fans glimpses of the work that he's going to put in once he touches down in Waco.
Winston Shephard, 6-8, SF, Findlay Prep (NV): Playing with a number of players ranked ahead of him, Winston Shephard was not only the best player for Findlay Prep at Flyin' To The Hoop, but he was the most versatile player from any team. With the ability to play both small and power forward at the next level, Shepard brings together a package of skills unique from almost every other 6-8 player in the class. His stats from FTTH reflected that, too. 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals later Findlay Prep notched another W on their belt. Winston is going to wait it out til the spring before making his collegiate decision, and will be receiving hella love from college coaches until he pledges his allegiance.
Adolphus Washington, 6-6, PF, Cincinnati Taft (OH): When you're 260 pounds at the high school level, sometimes the refs simply hate on you for being stronger than everyone else on the court. That didn't stop Adolphus Washinigton from putting up 30 and 9, but he would have gone for 40 easily had the refs not limited his playing time. The Ohio State football recruit is amongst the top 30 football players in the land and while he is generously listed at 6-6 (looks closer to 6-4), he has no problem dominating taller big men with his strength and surprisingly high skill level. Washington will wind up as one of the better big men in the last decade to come from the Queen City and would very likely be welcomed to play basketball for Ohio State, if he desired to.
John Staley, 6-5, PF, Dayton Chaminade Julienne (OH): The high scorer of FTTH was Staley, who hung 34 and 8 on 6-9 Cleveland State recruit Malik London in a winning effort. As unorthodox of a player as you'll find, he had no problem scoring against bigger defenders with his series of crafty moves on the blocks and ability to finish with either hand. While Staley isn't a guy you'll catch on Sportscenter Top-10′s anytime soon, he's a guy who will be key in Northern Kentucky's success transitioning to the D-1 level.
Mike Davis, 6-2, SG, Garfield Heights HS (OH): Though he caught an L, there was no denying who the best scorer on the floor regardless of team was. The explosive combo guard was able to get to the rim on anyone and finished a number of nasty dunks of a player of his size when he got to the paint. Committed to Northern Illinois, Davis played some legit D and showed some evidence as to why other MAC schools are going to be sorry that they didn't offer him a full ride down the road.
Jordan Potts, 5-11, PG, Columbus Northland (OH): There was no denying who the toughest point guard in Dayton was over the weekend. With some serious swag and a heart the size of a 7-footer, Potts led Northland to victory with his 23 points and lockdown D. After playing along side the likely Big Ten freshman of the year Trey Burke for 3 years, the gritty senior showed that he has no problem running the show on a full time basis. UNC-Greensboro got a steal with Potts, who will be integral in turning things around for them after some struggles these past few years.
Devon Scott, 6-9, PF/C, Columbus Northland (OH): Scott pulled off his best Dwight Howard impersonation against Garfield Heights, setting punishing screens and racing right to the rim thereafter. The future Dayton Flyer has shown constant improvement during his time at Northland. Learning the ropes from Jared Sullinger for two years, he now has been given the opportunity to shine for the top program in Columbus. In their win at FTTH, Scott showed off some perimeter skills that weren't so evident last season, while also maintaining his role of enforcer on D. There's still plenty of room for improvement with Devon, but the future is looking mighty bright for Dayton.
D.J. Blanks, 6-3, PG/SG Akron SVSM (OH): The only unsigned senior on this list, Blanks continues to show through his senior season that he is worthy of a D-1 scholly. Showing an unbelievable ability to finish with either hand, the ambidextrous combo guard also put the clamps on guys on the defensive end. The largest question that schools have around DJ is the consistency of his J, but everything else he brings to the table is enough to get him to the D-1 level next season, in our eyes.


text: By: jamie September 23, 2008 Looks like the webmasters over at the GOP need to do some work: Rebuilding Homeownership Homeownership remains key to creating an opportunity society. We support timely and carefully targeted aid to those hurt by the housing crisis so that affected individuals can have a chance to trade a burdensome mortgage for a manageable loan that reflects their home's market value. At the same time, government action must not implicitly encourage anyone to borrow more than they can afford to repay. We support energetic federal investigation and, where appropriate, prosecution of criminal wrongdoing in the mortgage industry and investment sector. We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all. We encourage potential buyers to work in concert with the lending community to educate themselves about the responsibilities of purchasing a home, condo, or land.

So long as it doesn't affect whether or not we get a special bonus with the game, I could care less. I'm still holding out for some sort of material bonus myself, frankly, I won't even be buying the game for the game. I just want some kind of extra, if ones happens to come with it.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Geothermal Country Notes
Korea (Republic)
With its current heavy reliance on fossil fuels and nuclear power for electricity generation, Korea's energy supply structure may well develop into having a greater share of renewable energy in the coming years.
Historically, knowledge about and use of the country's geothermal potential has been relatively limited. As further research is undertaken it is not expected that a high-temperature resource suitable for power generation will be discovered. However, utilisation for direct purposes, mainly bathing, has existed for many hundreds of years.
The Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) is currently collecting data in respect of the low-temperature geothermal resource with a view to establishing a district heating scheme near the southeastern city of Pohang. The installation of geothermal heat pumps is at a very early stage of implementation but it is expected that this market will grow substantially.

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

By Sammy Batten Staff writer
Seeking experience and some offensive punch, Alphonza Kee has dipped into the junior college ranks to bolster his Fayetteville State men's basketball team for the 2013-2014 season.
Kee announced Friday the signing of three players from in-state programs to national letters of intent to play for the Broncos next season. They include: Hoke County High School alum Tim Haggie, a 6-foot-1 guard from Central Carolina Community College; 6-7 1/2, 260-pound post player Mike Tyson from Pitt Community College; and 6-6 wing Torian Showers of Davidson Community College.
"When you talk about the people we compete against in our league, it's a mature league,'' Kee said. "There are a lot of transfers - 23-year-old men from junior colleges. Most of my guys last year came straight out of high school and were freshmen, sophomores and juniors. So we needed a little more experience.
"We also needed to improve on the offensive end. We competed hard, rebounded and played defense last year. But in scoring we fell short in certain parts of the game. The three junior college gentlemen we've signed had primary roles on their teams and can score from all positions.''
Haggie, from Lumber Bridge, averaged 9.7 points and four assists as a senior at Hoke County as a senior in 2010-11. He improved upon those statistics the last two seasons at Central Carolina, averaging 15 points to earn National Junior College Athletic Association All-Freshman honors in 2011-12 and ranking ninth nationally with a 21.2 average as a sophomore.
Kee expects Haggie to play point guard for the Broncos, who finished 9-17 last season. He'll likely team in the backcourt with last season's No. 2 team scorer, Anthony Shelton
"He was a high scorer with 30 points in games a few times this year,'' Kee said of Haggie. "He scores by nature. But he also has the ability to do some other things. He can guard people and get to the paint to create offense for us. I thought we filled a big need with him.''
Tyson replaced former North Carolina guard Reggie Bullock as the top scorer at Kinston High School as a senior in 2010-11 when he averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds. He attended Pitt the last two years, and as a sophomore earned first-team all-league and all-region honors. Tyson scored 15.8 points, shot 56.5 percent from the field ranked third nationally among junior college players with 11.7 rebounds a game.
"He is a space eater,'' Kee said. "He's a different kind of post than we've had here. He has a wide body, soft hands, great touch and is a very explosive guy. I have not had a guy who is 250 or 260 pounds in the post. We've had guys who were more athletic and longer, but we haven't had a guy who can sit in the post, make some moves and feels comfortable banging people. He gives us balance.''
Showers was the conference player of the year as a senior at High Point Andrews in 2010-11, when he averaged 14 points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots a game. He was one of the top scorers at Davidson Community this season with a 10.4 average.
"He's a versatile wing who can shoot from the perimeter and stretch the floor,'' said Kee, who said he hopes to sign at least two more players in this recruiting class.
"We're still recruiting,'' he said. "I'm excited about what we have, but there may be more coming.''

HDBaseT basics
HDBaseT offers all kinds of advantages to those who must distribute digital signals. It is intended by it's creators to provide a connectivity technology optimized for multimedia distribution. HDBaseT delivers uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power over cable and various control signals through a single 100m/328ft CAT5e/6 cable with RJ45 connectors. Where did it come from? The HDBaseT Alliance, incorporated on June 14, 2010 by Samsung Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment, LG Electronics and Valens Semiconductor, was developed to promote the HDBaseT technology originally created by this place called Valens.
Specific coolness:
- Uncompressed video/audio up to 10.2 Gbps.
- Maximum single hop distance of 100m, including support of multiple hops, up to 8 x 100m
- Low cost standard Cat5e/6 LAN cable
- Utilizes a standard RJ-45 connector
- Supplies up to 100W of power – could actually be used to power something bigger than a shoebox.
- Support for 100Mbps Ethernet
- Uses your existing in-wall Ethernet connectivity
- USB support
- Supports HDCP
- Networking support including extended-range daisy chain and star topologies
- Video and audio
Detailed coolness:
- HDBaseT supports TV and PC video formats including standard, enhanced, high-definition and 3D video,and also supports all standard audio formats.
- HDBaseT delivers Full HD/3D and 2K/4K uncompressed video to a network of devices or as a point-to-point connection. Uncompressed content supports all video sources, including legacy products, accurately renders gaming graphics and features such as electronic program guides (EPGs), and does not degrade video quality or add latency.
- 100BaseT Ethernet HDBaseT supports 100Mb Ethernet capabilities, enabling televisions, hi-fi equipment, computers and other CE devices to communicate with each other and access multimedia content, including video, pictures and music stored in multiple locations.
- Power over cable Sending power over the same CAT5e/6 cable gives people the option to forego plugging devices into the wall outlet for power, allowing greater mobility. HDBaseT can power remote TVs and other devices up to 100 watts.
- Various control signals HDBaseT delivers different types of control signals for different purposes, starting fromCEC, to RS232/USB and IR that operate remote equipment even when in a remote location.
The Technology behind the coolness:
- HDBaseT uses an asymmetric method, sending video, audio, Ethernet and controls from source to sink, but only 100Mb are transferred back (Ethernet and controls). Unlike conventional data communication which is a symmetrical application by nature, requiring a bit error rate (BER) of at least 10 to the minus 12, the asymmetric nature of HDBaseT is based on an innovative DSP engine and an AFE (Application Front End) architecture.
- A special line coding scheme was developed to provide better transfer quality to some kinds of data (audio, controls, Ethernet) without the need to give up all that overhead protecting the video content which consumes most of the bandwidth.
Finally, HDBaseT also deals with video control signals and the reconstruction of video clocks. BUT: These elements are not part of the conventional LAN communication and require deep understanding of uncompressed video interconnects.
What does that even mean? Next post will deal with LAN communication into and out of the HdbaseT system we have just described.

Carisbrooke Primary pupils with Kirstie Allsopp. From left: Maisy Bradley, Daisy-May Clarke, Amy Clarke, May Zaimi, Macy Burkitt, Amber Beresford and Ruby Mason.
YOUNGSTERS at Carisbrooke Primary School were given a special lesson by a TV celebrity.
Kirstie Allsopp, star of Channel 4's Location Location Location and more recently, Kirstie's Homemade Home and Kirstie's Handmade Britain, spent time with the children making specially crafted jewellery boxes.
Kirstie visited the Isle of Wight and showed reception class pupil, Amy Clarke and her sister, Daisy-May, who is in Year 2, how to produce the stylish boxes.
The boxes will be taken home by the children and used in their home, which will also feature in the programme.
Deputy headteacher, Mark Richards, said: "It was wonderful to have Kirstie at school and I even think a few teachers were a bit starstruck."
On her way to the Isle of Wight, Kirstie tweeted: "Today I am crafting on the Isle of Wight, birthplace of my Granny and her sister, Cath Kidston's Granny."
The tweet was in reference to designer and businesswoman, Cath Kidston, who is Kirstie's cousin.
Kirstie's TV programme is set to air on Channel 4 in October.

Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex with MSM provides four important building blocks for healthy joints and connective tissue: glucosamine, chondroitin, bioavailable sulfur (MSM), and vitamin C. Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is an essential structural component of glycosaminoglycans, large linear molecules that help lubricate joints, nourish cartilage and connective tissue, and assist in wound healing. Chondroitin sulfate lends additional structural support via its high degree of interaction with collagen fibers. Bioavailable sulfur (MSM) plays a critical role in the integrity of joints and connective tissues. Vitamin C, essential for the production of collagen, also serves as an effective free radical scavenger to protect cells. Molybdenum aids in complete metabolism of MSM, glucosamine, and chondroitin.

Thoughts On This Trick Play
Posted 10 November 2010 - 03:37 PM
Personally, I don't think it is that creative--but it is hilarious how the d-line just watches him walk past them.
I don't think this is a legal play, myself. I say this because I played Center for many, many seasons, and I always knew the rule to be that the ball must go backward and up--NOT up and then backward. Said differently, the Center cannot "lift" the ball (although it is close in this case. I could be wrong, however, and I'm sure every league has its own rules on the matter (if they even exist). Regardless, I think the officials did the right thing by NOT blowing the whistle. I imagine they huddled after the play and deemed it legal.
p.s. I am of the mindset this is not unsportsman-like. Now, if the team who pulled this off was winning by a large margin--that is a different story. This is middle school football, however--and I remember middle school football being as cut-throat as HS football.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of stuff like this. Reverses and fakes no problem. The kids should've been coached that as soon as the center picked up the ball, they hit.

Now, that is freakin' hilarious.Here's what would've happened if Orange was coaching against that team:
On Youtube, you can find an interview with ABC's Harry Smith and the coaches of the junior high team from Johnp2's original post. They call it the "penalty play". First, a hard count draws the penalty against the defense. Then, the offensive coach yell's to his QB: "Joey, mark off another 5 yards". So the center hands the ball to Joey, who marks 5 yards, and then takes off. The tricky team did lose the game.
Posted 12 November 2010 - 02:33 PM
We have executed the "wrong ball" play (although we call it "I forgot the play") twice. Once many seasons ago against a good friend of mine on the last play (we were down by 2 or 3 TDs) and made a nice gain. The second time was three seasons ago. The ref got confused and blew the whistle as my player was scoring--even though I told one of the officials before the play what we were doing. Ugh!

Lol, I wish.Here's what would've happened if Orange was coaching against that team:

Rachel Maddow Tells Ex Gay Richard Cohen He Has Blood On His Hands Concering Uganda
Rachel Maddow last night interviewed the head of the Healing Foundation and former gay, Richard Cohen, about the part he has played in the construction of the Anti Homosexuality bill in Uganda.
Cohen began the interview saying he believed that he and his organization had had little influence on the Bill, highlighting that the punishment of homosexuals had been going on since the 1950s, and that his organization was all about promoting love. Maddow, however, was quick to dismiss this through not only showing Steven Langa, one of the main proponent of the bill, teaching from Cohen's book, Coming Out Straight, but also how information from the book, such as that which constructs homosexuals as individuals who prey on schoolchildren is being used to justify the existence of the law.
Telling Cohen that he had blood on his hands, Maddow was also able to make Cohen admit that he was making false statements about homosexuality by reading him a list of factors he says could cause homosexuality which include:
- Divorce
– Death of a parent
- Adoption
- Religion
- Race
Denying that he had included race on the list, Cohen was then forced to admit it was in the book, and that it was not a factor that lead to homosexuality, before being further discredited by Maddow in what should become a textbook example of how to deal with supposed experts who believe there is a cure for homosexuality.

Gardeners learn early on that plants—like people—have certain preferences when it comes to their living conditions. Soil, sun, water...each resident in your landscape has a different set of needs.
That's especially true when it comes to watering. Too much of a good thing can be as damaging as too little. Excessive watering encourages fungal growth and drains essential nutrients from the soil, while too little results in limp and lifeless plants that struggle to survive.
So how much is enough? The best solution is to get the basics about your soil type and your plants' needs, and then rely on proper watering techniques and ecofriendly strategies to keep your garden properly hydrated without "draining" your utility budget! Read on to learn how you can become a watering pro in no time...
Check the labels.
The quickest and easiest way to learn about a particular plant's watering needs is to read the tags that came with it. Look closely...information on watering and other care requirements are almost always noted somewhere on the label.
But don't worry if you've thrown away your plants' tags. There are plenty of on-line resources to help you track down the information you need to keep your plants thriving.
When you water depends on the type of device you use. If using sprinklers, morning watering is preferable so the foliage dries before nightfall. Use a rain gauge to monitor the amount the garden receives.
Use water-drip systems or soaker hoses in the evening. This gives the soil all night to absorb the moisture. In all cases, it's best to avoid daytime watering, since you're likely to lose quite a bit to evaporation, as well.
To get the dirt on how thirsty your landscape is, evaluate the medium your plants are growing in. If your soil is sandy, it may mean water and nutrients are draining away at a faster rate. If it has a high composition of clay, it may be more likely to become waterlogged.
As with watering, plants, shrubs and trees have their own preferences when it comes to their ideal growing medium. So if your current bed doesn't match their needs, upgrade it with amendments such as manure, peat moss or humus to improve its condition.
When it comes to hydrating your plants, thorough but less frequent watering is the key. Thorough watering encourages roots to grow deeper. It gives them a larger area to draw water from and limits the number of poor-performing surface roots.
Apply enough water to soak the root zone (the soil surrounding the plant's roots) to an appropriate depth for the plants you are tending to. Here are some guidelines for you to keep in mind:
Annuals, ground covers: Water when the top few inches of soil begin to dry (when the soil is slightly moist but crumbles in your hand)—about a foot deep.
Perennials, shrubs and trees: Roots of most perennials are in the top foot or two of soil, where organic matter is plentiful, so concentrate your efforts there.
For trees and shrubs, water the whole area under the canopy. Moisten the top foot, and you take care of the feeder roots, which absorb the water.
New plantings: Young perennials need regular watering for the first year or two to ensure strong root development. Once their root system is established, water less frequently: weekly to monthly, depending on your climate and the plant's needs.
Lawns: In general, lawns need about 1 to 1-1/2 inches of water a week. That should keep the top 4 to 6 inches of soil moist.
With experience, you'll be able to tell whether your plants need water by looking at them. Leaves that turn gray-green or an off color, containers that feel lighter and lawns with visible footprints are reliable signs that your plants need a drink.

Rosh Chodesh Nisan
Dora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Rosh Chodesh Nisan
The first commandment given by G-d to the Jewish People was to establish the beginning of the Month of Nisan (which wasn't yet called "Nisan," but, rather, the First Month). Until now, the Calendar was, so to speak, in G-d's hands. From this point on, the Hebrew Calendar was placed in the hands of the Jewish People.
Nisan and Rosh Chodesh Nisan - In Relation to Other Months of the Year
1 Nisan (30 days - Rosh Chodesh always 1 day)
2 Iyar (29 days)
3 Sivan
4 Tammuz
5 Av
6 Elul
7 Tishrei
8 Cheshvan
9 Kislev
10 Tevet
11 Shevat
12 Adar (29 days - "Adar" preceding Nisan (I or II) always only 29)
This day was chosen by Hashem as the day of the Inauguration of the Mishkan, the temporary Temple which was used in the desert and in the Land of Israel, before the building by Shlomo HaMelech, King Solomon, of the first Bais HaMikdash.
The Midrash discusses the Inauguration of the Mishkan in BaMidbar Rabba, Chapter 13, as follows:
"Rabbi Yossi used to say, 'When did the Inauguration of the Mishkan occur? It began on the twenty third of Adar, and concluded on the first of Nisan. And on all of the first seven days, Moshe used to set up the Mishkan and take it apart at the end of the day. On the eighth day, he set it up, and did not take it apart. And that eighth day was Shabbat, and it was the Rosh Chodesh of Nisan.
On that day, Aharon and his sons arose and washed their hands and feet from the sacred fountain, they worshipped the Divine Service in proper order. On that very day, the People of Israel made vows and donations, sin-offerings and guilt-offerings, brought the first-born of their flocks, and their tithes.
Regarding that day it is said (in "Shir HaShirim," the Song of Songs) " 'Awake, O North Wind, and Come, O South Wind, Perfume my Garden, let its Spices Flow, May my Beloved come to His Garden, and eat of its Delightful Fruit - I have come to My Garden, My Sister, My Bride' - this was the Eighth Day."
Eight "Parshiyot," or Sections of the Torah
On this day, eight "Parshiyot," Sections, of the Torah were taught by Hashem to Israel through Moshe, as follows:
1. "Parshat Kohanim," the Priestly Section; namely Parshat Emor, parts of which were directed specifically towards the Priests, with special restrictions they had to observe
2. "Parshat HaLeviim," the Section for the Tribe of Levi, beginning "And He (Hashem) took the Leviim from the midst of the Children of Israel," because they were needed this day to sing over the "Korbanos," the Sacrifices
3. "Parshat Temaim," the Section for the Ritually Impure, who were informed that they had a "second chance" to bring the Pesach Sacrifice, a month later, because the ritually impure could not participate in the offering of the Pesach Sacrifice
4. "Parshat Shiluach Temaim," the Section defining the camps in which the Children of Israel lived in the Desert, including a special living section for the Ritually Impure, until their Purification
5. "Parshat Acharei Mot Shenei Bnei Aharon," the Section which describes the death of Aharon's two eldest sons on the Day of the Inauguration by a "fire which came forth from G-d." Many commentators have offered explanations for these deaths, but they remain essentially a mystery
6. "Parshat Sh'tuyei Yayin," the Section which forbids a Priest from entering the Mishkan while under the influence of wine or other alcoholic beverage
7. "Parshat Nerot," the Section which describes the Priestly responsibility for maintaining the Menorah in the Mishkan and later, in the Temple, and its flames
8. "Parshat Parah Adumah," the Section dealing with the Red Heifer, or Cow, the sprinkling of whose ashes was a major part of the Purification Ritual
Rosh HaShanah for Five Matters
The First Day of Nisan is Rosh HaShanah for the following five matters:
1. Kings of Israel - They count their reigns from the First of Nisan, such that even if a King began his reign at the end of Adar, once Nisan began, it would be considered as the Second Year of his reign
2. Pilgrim Festivals - The Festival which occurs in Nisan, namely Pesach, is considered the First of the Three Pilgrim Festivals: Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot. The application is that if a person donated a sacrifice, he has violated the prohibition of "Do not Delay" only if the time interval has passed defined by the three Festivals in the above order, such that if the donation was made, say, after Pesach, "Do not Delay" has not been violated until Shavuot, Sukkot, Pesach, Shavuot, and again, Sukkot, have passed.
3. Months - Nisan is considered the first of the months. The Torah refers to other months as second, third,…twelfth with reference to Nisan.
4. Leap Years - The Court may proclaim a "Leap Year" only until the first of Nisan. Once that date has arrived, the time for "Leaping" has "Leapt"
5. Donation of Shekalim - All Communal Sacrifices brought from this day forward are paid from the shekalim collected in the Current Year; last year's shekalim are no longer used for this purpose.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who deals with our snake-oil merchant will be cheated. Unfortunately, Netanyahu had no choice.
Someone has Bibi by the short hairs. I´m glad they waited the 24 hours so cankles could get credit for all this. Wish Bibi could tell all of them what to do up rope.
Do not agree. Obama called Bibi and begged him to stop. Bibi drove a hard bargain 1) give me money to restock and improve the iron dome and 2) you and Hillary make strong public statements in support of Israel - or you have my word, Obama, I will wipe that rat´s nest in Gaza off the face of the earth.
I used to like Morsi when he fronted The Smiths. But his solo work was sub-par. Now that he´s become president of Egypt, he´s become insufferable.
There is no Hamas left to be ´´friendly´´ to.Why did President Morsi of Egypt have to negotiate on behalf of Hamas? Because Israeli missiles took out 30 of Hamas´s top officials, and there was no one left in the Hamas heirarchy to participate in the ceasefire negotiations.And the minute Hamas elects new leaders and they start sending rockets into Israeli kindergartens again, Israel will eliminate the new leaders, too.
#3 Please share the source of your information. I so want to believe that is the case. A cease fire for Hammas only means cease till they can re arm.
#6 - only Bibi and Obama know the actual details of their conversation, but this hypothesis seems obvious from 1) Bibi´s strong personality and his likely reaction to Obama´s plea for Israel to back off from their "cleaning out of the Gaza rat´s nest". Remember, Bibi has Obama´s number based upon Obama´s past snubbings and 2) Why else would Obama agree to iron dome financial support and Obama´s and HIllary´s recent statements of "rock-solid" support for Israel?I am convinced that Obama hates Israel and Bibi´s only bargaining chip is for Israelto threaten to wipe out Obama´s terrorist friends.
Bibi: tell jug-ears to go copulate himself!
Was this announced before or after the bus was blown up in Israel?
I do think #3 has hit the bulls-eye, or at least is on the right track. Driving home this evening I recalled when Bubba Clinton worked his supposed magic to create a Middle East peace and there was money involved. Arafat kept holding out for more. This time around I wonder who, apart from Israel, got our money. The Palestinians? Egypt? Hamas? Isn´t the Palestinians and Hamas one and the same?
So I guess Bibi gets a free pass here even among those who considered him a "real leader" and contrasted him so sharply with our own beloved Zippy the Marxist. Seems there are no Churchill´s left in this modern world as it would appear to me that Netanyahu doesn´t qualify. I wonder how the survivors of the bus explosion {if there are any} feel about his deal with the devils.
I suspect Barry threatened to cut off aid to Israel and give it to Hamas and Egypt instead.
It won´t last, you can´t negotiate with terrorist & savages!
#12 great point, somebody needs to call King Teflon´s bluff...
Aid or no aid, when the rocket attacks don´t stop there is going to be a price that will need to be paid! Why don´t we get it...duh?

Twitter needs to curb digital hate on site, say critics
New York, Oct. 28 : Micro-blogging site Twitter has reportedly seen a 30 percent surge in digital hate messages, while critics believe that the company should responsibly curb the spread of online hate.
A report by the Simon Wiesenthal Center based in Los Angeles revealed that Twitter had about 20,000 hate-filled hashtags and handles in 2012, up from 15,000 seen in 2011.
Anti-Semites, racists and terrorist groups have flooded the blogging website with shocking, hate-spewing hashtags and handles, New York Post reports.
The hate tweets exposed include swastikas and rants that insult the Jewish community, the report added.
The Center claimed that digital hate on Twitter is a form of homophobia, Islamphobia, and attacks on Christian minorities.
It extended from mocking the legacy of Anne Frank, to getting young people to try to join in with a racist, extreme far-right group in the United States, to al-Shabab and al Qaeda, communicating to young Muslims around the world, the report added.
However, Twitter said that the company does not mediate content or intervene in disputes between users under its policy.

I am an active performer and high school band director. I've had this case for a several years and use it for my Willson 2900s. This gig bag has excellent padding and is extremely well constructed. The zippers are strong and work easily. The back-pack straps are tough and stitched very firmly into place. For a gig-bag, it offers great protection for my Willson and the leather still looks great after several years of use. HOWEVER, about 1 month after using this bag, I noticed severe tarnishing of my instrument occurring. Dark blue and black tarnish began occurring at an alarming rate. At first I was not sure why this was occurring and could not figure out why my euph was doing this. After experimenting with several situations over 2 more months - found that it was ONLY after placing my horn in this case overnight did it tarnish. The tarnish became progressively worse for each night I left it in there. Conclusion: this Reunion Blues ($400+) case was causing tarnish to my instrument. When I contacted WWBW, I was told that they would not replace nor refund the case and said "..that is not our problem..." I then contacted Reunion Blues - they apologized but said they would not replace the case, and said I should buy or make a "tarnish bag." I made one and have used it with moderate success. However, my beautiful Willson 2900s is no longer a brilliant white silver, but has a blueish-nickle look to it. It may be a fluke that only THIS case caused tarnish and you may have better luck...but is it worth $400 to risk it?

The 114th annual convention from Dec. 7-10, 2015, will mark the seventh time that Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center will play host to the Baseball Winter Meetings. In addition to this year, Opryland was also the site of the annual convention in 1983, 1989, 1998, 2002 and 2007.
"Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is proving, again this week, to be a great place to host our annual convention and the thousands of people from the baseball community," said Pat O'Conner, president of Minor League Baseball.
"The ability to host almost all of our attendees, events and meetings under one roof makes it a very attractive and efficient location for the Baseball Winter Meetings."
Next year's Baseball Winter Meetings will take place from Dec. 9-12 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Fla., which also hosted the event in 2010 and 2006. The annual convention will be headquartered at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in 2014, from Dec. 8-11.

From the American Animal Hospital Association
January / February 2013
Pet owners know their furry friends need food, water, shelter and attention; but what about their hygiene?
Surprisingly, pets have hygiene needs similar to humans, and many regimens can be done at home. Here's how to keep your pet healthy, happy and smelling good, according to Lauren Wozniacki, LVT, at Wixom Family Pet Practice in Wixom, Mich., and pet care advisor for VeterinaryClinic.com.
Signs It's Time for a Grooming
Bathing, fur combing, teeth brushing and nail clipping are all important pieces of proper pet hygiene. Wozniacki advises to clean your pets on a schedule similar to your own.
"[The hair of] pets that are not properly cared for can become matted and even begin to smell," she said.
Bath timeGiving a pet a regular bath can help wash off dirt that can result in an unpleasant odor, Wozniacki said.
In most cases, don't use your own shampoo on your dog or cat. Most human shampoos have ingredients that may cause inflamed skin, hair loss, rashes, or itchy or dry skin if used on animals.
Always use a shampoo that was made for the type of pet you have.
After a bath, check your pet's ears. If there is wax build-up or an unpleasant odor, use a cotton ball and ear cleaner made for pets.
Birds, Rodents and Rabbits
Here's what you can do:
How often you bathe your pet depends on the situation. If your dog gets muddy, he needs a bath immediately. If he isn't dirty, however, a bath once every 2 or 3 weeks should suffice, except in dry climates. In places such as Colorado, you should bathe your pet no more than once a month, otherwise flaky and/or itchy skin may result.
Whereas short-haired cats generally don't need a bath unless there is a problem, long-haired cats need bathing only if it's medically necessary (if they stop grooming themselves altogether), or if their fur becomes matted or "ungroomable," which would require shaving then bathing.
FurRegular brushing helps to maintain a healthy coat, remove dead skin flakes and promote blood circulation for healthy skin.
Long-haired pets need to be brushed every day to keep their fur from matting; short-haired animals should be brushed a few times a week.
Some cats may dislike this interaction, and it can be very stressful to them. If that's the case, consider taking the cat to a groomer, Wozniacki said. You may want to address that the cat might need to be sedated. If that's the case, there needs to be a veterinarian on the premises.
TeethMost pet owners don't brush their pets' teeth as often as they should, but Wozniacki says daily brushing is a must. A pet's teeth can accumulate tartar just like a human's, and tartar build-up can cause serious oral health problems, such as gum disease, tooth decay and tooth loss. It can even cause heart disease.
Helpful Links:
Giving a dog a bone is not enough.
"Would you brush your teeth with just crackers?" Wozniacki said.
There are many oral care products made for pets, and feeding them canned food versus the dry variety can also prevent tartar build-up.
NailsTrim your pet's nails at least monthly (depending on the growth rate) to keep your pet comfortable and prevent the nails from curling back and growing into the paw pads.
When clipping, take care not to cut the small pink vein—known as the quick—that runs through an animal's nails. If you cut this vein, it will bleed and cause pain.
Use the proper clippers for your pet's size, and cut well below the quick. Have a styptic powder (or flour) on hand in case you graze the vein. If you do, apply powder to the nail to help stop the bleeding, but take care as this may be painful.
Regular walks also help keep the nails down so you don't have to trim as often.

Alignment Services
Wheel Alignment. We'll Keep You on the Straight and Narrow.
There are times when you know your wheel alignment is off. Maybe your vehicle pulls to one side of the road. Perhaps your steering wheel is not straight up and down when your hands are positioned at 10 and 2. Or your tires might squeal when you're turning. Then again, sometimes a wheel alignment problem is so subtle you can't even feel it. Come see us for an alignment. Together, we'll make your car endure – for the long haul. And with night and weekend hours at most stores, keeping your car keeping on has never been easier – or more convenient.
Our Wheel Alignment Services
Alignment Check
- Inspect steering and suspension system, including tire condition and air pressure
- Put vehicle on alignment rack; mount and compensate sensors
- Print out wheel alignment readings
Standard Wheel Alignment
- Inspect steering and suspension system, including tire condition and air pressure
- Put vehicle on alignment rack; mount and compensate sensors
- Print out initial alignment readings

- Print out final wheel alignment readings to verify alignment is within specification
- Road test vehicle
- Provide 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty
Lifetime Wheel Alignment (available on most vehicles)
In addition to our standard alignment service, we:
- Provide a lifetime limited warranty* on the wheel alignment, which means we'll set alignment angles on your vehicle every 6,000 miles or whenever needed, free of charge, for as long as you own it.
* See your auto advisor for complete terms and conditions of written, limited warranties.
Steering and Suspension Services
Worn steering, suspension and drive-line components can cause noise, vibration, premature tire wear and misalignment. That's why we perform a complete steering and suspension system inspection with every alignment. By replacing worn parts, you regain steering control and handling, which will return your vehicle to its original operating performance.
Symptoms or not, misalignment can damage your tires and even prematurely wear them out. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we can verify the condition of your vehicle's steering and suspension components and set your alignment angles to manufacturer's specifications to keep you driving right.

"Great Value for Your Money!"
5.0 starson by TheIngramPros: 1). Picture quality is stunning
2). Audio recorder works great
3). Glorious full HD 1920x1080p
4). Slow motion shot is amazing
5). Easy to operate, small, light weight, compact
6). Extremely powerful for the priceCons: 1). Focus is a little tricky and there is no manual focus ring
2). No headphone output to monitor your recordingSummary: After an extensively research over the internet I bought this Sony HDR CX160 camera in Miami on March 16, and after six months of continuous use I can only say that I am extremely satisfied with the product. It is really small and light, easy to carry around. I bought a Sony Handycam bag and it is really huge for this little camera, which was really convenient because I can carry an extra battery, one 16GB SDHC card, a tiny tripod, cleaning clothing and a shoulder strap. Do not be mistaken: the Sony HDR CX-160 is little, but extremely powerful for the price.
Be careful to use always the hand strap so you can prevent it from falling off. I almost died of distress last week when it slipped from my fingers but luckily I managed to attenuate the fall with my left foot, it bounced and landed nicely on the carpet floor, not a single scratch.
I shoot all my videos on PS mode (60p @ 28Mbps), I like to record my memories on the best quality possible, the future generations of the family will be grateful and remember me with respect for this decision. The picture quality is stunning and the glorious full HD 1920x1080p looks fantastic on my LCD TV.
The touchscreen is prone to be covered by smudges, I use it to shoot the daily growing of my children and my greasy paws do not help to keep it clean at all.
The USB cable is nice but is too short, you can only use it with a portable computer or a tablet, placing the camera next to it, with a desktop you have to use the extension cord otherwise the camera would be hanging.
The active steadyshot is pretty cool, it can really minimize the effects of hand shaking and trembling individuals.
The slow motion shot is amazing, athough of inferior quality compared to PS mode. I had the opportunity of shooting a parade in Bogota, a clumsy clown on stilts got distracted watching some lady on the crowd, tripped and fell spectacularly, I got it all on film and it is a laughing matter for our enjoyment. I can not share the video out of respect with the clown.
I gave this impressive camera five stars, it gives a high value for your money, has many advanced features compared to other brands below the same tag price.
*Note, if you're will buy the Sony HDR-CX160, for cheap price I suggest you have to check it before you decide at: ***************.info/sony-hdr-cx160/
Highly recommended.

Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath
The ringing of the hammer against the bell *Ring, Ring, Ring*, my eyes open, I squint under the bright white lights, the room smelling of detergent and chemicals; clean.
People rushing outside the room door, yelling out: "We have more coming!" The policeman outside my door was now looking around ever so nervously as to the cause and reason behind the panic that was occurring. Explosions in the distance now rocking the hospital ever so slightly; enough to cause shivers of worry throughout my body.
I smile, panic, hysteria, this is my place. I move my arm to get up, handcuffed.
Cursing to myself under my breath, as I spot the key lying on the bedside table, out of reach to my outstretched arm. Now ever so frustrated I look for something that could assist me in breaking free, or even moving the key closer, enough for my fingertips to just touch it. Then I would be free.
