Merryll Manning: Beachfront "Holiday"
"I happen to be living here! Four months!" I was aggressive. I didn't bother to call him, "sir". I wanted to hide my shock.
"Johnny-on-the-spot?" mocked the inspector.
"Not me!" I shouted. "I'm renting six floors up – on the other side of this glorious condominium! No holiday beach views on a police sergeant's pay!"
"Based where?"
"Miami, Florida?"
"Where else?"
"So what are you doing in Australia?"
"I told you! I'm on holiday."
"Some holiday, son! Miami, Florida, to Beachfront, New South Wales? Four months? Even Paradise would out-stay its appeal in four months. So what's the four-monthly attraction for you in Beachfront?"
I forced myself to point to Susan's body. She lay on the carpet, between her velvety sofa and rosewood coffee table. I masked my face, but there was no need. My finger had told the inspector all he wanted to know. In this dim light, Susan seemed like a yogi in a trance. Suddenly, she would sit up!
"No blood!" remarked the inspector sharply. I hadn't disguised my fear at all well, but I knelt down beside the body and then looked back at him, straight in the eye. He inclined his head with a movement so slight it was barely perceptible. But it was enough to indicate a ghastly "permission granted".
Susan lay on her back, staring calmly at the ceiling, her piqued face surprisingly relaxed, midnight eyes forever open. With typical neatness, she had wrapped her slim figure in a towelly bath-robe of light pink, a perfect match for her fair complexion and straw-blonde hair. Only yesterday, I'd tried to say hello to her in the foyer. She'd cut me dead. Bitch!
Yesterday now figured far in the past. A light green scarf knotted cruelly into Susan's throat. An early evening breeze, weeping in through open balcony doors, fanned the scarf's edges across the dark Berber carpet, lending her shoulders a shivering illusion of movement. She was the leading player in a nightmarish game of hide-and-seek.
"I repeat my first question: How do you come to be here now, Manning? How'd you come to knock on the door? Miss Ford invite you?"
"Miles Garrani, the janitor, told me."
"There's always at least one loose mouth. But maybe he did us both a favor." The inspector knelt down beside me. "Beautiful girl. A shame!" he whispered. A soft light, filtering through the shade of the table lamp, transformed his spectacles into surreal, silver tear-drops. "Know her well?"
"She's the only reason I'm here."
He glanced at me sharply. "Six floors away? On the other side of the building? A fellow American? She give you the air?"
I nodded bleakly as I stood up. "A dual citizen. Her dad was American, her mother Australian. Like me. But I've spent just about all my life in the States. Far as I know, Susan's spent only the last six or seven years. In Atlantic City and Miami."
"Where'd you meet her?"
"What was doing there? Holidaying?"
"Working as a secretary. She's actually much older than she looks. I'd put her age at twenty-eight."

This was not our first stay at the Pentagon City Sheraton and it will NOT be our last. The staff was really attentive to our needs. A special shout out goes to Sevena! She was a joy to interact with. She made us feel really welcome. You can tell she loves her job. Job well done Sevena (I hope I spelled your name correctly).

Rated 1 out of 5 by keelow1 Really Disappointed
When I arrived to check in my room was dirty. Looked like someone took a quick nap or break because the bed had a body print in the covers and the room smelled like bengay. Totally not cool.....Then the next day my friends and I went to the gift shop, the lady in there was really rude watching every move we make and then when you ask her a price of an item she looks at you like you are bothering her then gives you the price. She did not have good customer service nor was she friendly. Totally not cool.... Another rude person was the lady at the coffee bar. No customer service nor friendly at all. I don't know what's wrong with people....Life is so beautiful to be upset and angry about things. She didn't even offer us a seat at the bar just packed the coffee in a to go cup and went back to talking to this guy at the bar. I guess we messed up her flirting I don't know. Not cool at all. The African American guy was ok I think he was really tired not only did he check me out he was also the shuttle driver and housekeeping poor guy.....Please hire me people Sheraton! Last, there was one person that showed EXCELLENT customer service and showed himself friendly and just made me forget about all the other rude people was Tony.....he was the high lights of the weekend he need a raise. He goes beyond his duty we loved him KUDOS Tony!

Rated 5 out of 5 by rockydogz Great Staff, Terrific Management and Convenient Location!!!
This was my first time at this hotel and as a Starwood Platinum, I stay at a lot of Sheraton properties. This is truly a 10!!! The front desk staff is very helpful, the restaurant and bar service are superb. This is a hotel that actually truly cares for their guests and it is quite apparent that the management team takes great care of the customer"s (guest's) satisfaction. The shuttle service is every 30 minutes to the airport or to the Metro. The rooms are first rate. This will be the hotel I recommend for any pleasure or business trips to the Washington DC area. I will have this as one of my favorites!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne1313 Self Parking Fee $20
I stayed at the hotel on February 2nd and was not told the parking fee was $20 for self parking. I went online and the website just says it is self parking. The assistant manager who checked me in stamped my parking ticket so I could get out. I feel that the Sheraton could make guest more aware of the charge before they see it on their credit card.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Art37 Appalled
Reason I will not return: we were evacuated at 2:34 AM from the hotel due to fire alarms being set off by drunken and unruly cigarette smokers. I'm not sure of what department in the hotel is responsible for booking parties that included so many very heavy drinkers and smokers who clearly gave no regard for the rules, but the results were appalling. For the cost of a stay at this sort of hotel I would expect a better screening process to be put in place and sufficient security on site to prevent this sort of circumstance from occurring. I used to work in the high-end hotel business in Rosslyn, Virginia. This would never have happened.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SunnyFromCalifornia Beware, Tricks & Traps!
The hotel is nice and the staff members were polite, yet I have to fight for internet as offered free with booking, but always charged additional when check-out.
We wouldn't stay there again because of the cost for parking.
MOST IMPORTANT: Accounting charged me for THREE nights (1 business + 2 Personal Credit Card) when I actually stayed only for TWO (1 business + 1 Personal Credit Card) nights! A/c never responded to my emails and now dodging when I call.
This may be a SPG hotel and for the two days we stayed there was never a concierge on duty.

Venezuelan League
From BR Bullpen
The Venezuelan League, in Spanish Liga Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional (LVBP), is a winter league based in Venezuela. The league's champion represents the nation in the Caribbean Series, which it has won seven times (1970, 1979, 1982, 1984, 1989, 2006, 2009). The league was founded in late 1945, played its first season in 1946 before moving to a fall schedule later that year. The LVBP currently has eight teams. The teams play a first league round of 63 games from October to December and the best 5 teams play a second league phase of 16 games in Round-Robin format in January. The best 2 teams from the Round-Robin then face each other in a best of 7 Final to determine the league's champion.
Contents |
[edit] History
[edit] League Founding
On December 27, 1945 the Liga Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional was founded by Martin Tovar Lange, Don Carlos Lavaud, Juan Rafael Regetti, and Juan Antonio Yánez. The four founding teams were Cervecería Caracas, Navegantes del Magallanes, Vargas and Venezuela.
The first season began on January 12, 1946. At first, all games were played on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at Estadio Cerveza Caracas in San Agustín, Caracas during the day. After Cerveza Caracas (Caracas Brewery) provided the stadium with lighting, games were added on Tuesday nights. Vargas, managed by Daniel Canónico,won the first championship with 18 wins and 12 loses. The league's second season took place across two calendar years, which the league has continued to do since the 1946-1947 season.
The first Caribbean Series featured the league's 1948/1949 season champion, Caracas. On July 16, 1952 Cerveza Caracas sold its team to Pablo Morales and Oscar Prieto Ortiz who renamed it to the Leones del Caracas. During the same year, Estadio Universitario was built.
[edit] League Growth
The 1953/1954 season saw the replacement of two teams, Vargas and Venezuela, which had both left the LVBP due to economic difficulties. Taking their place were two teams, Gavilanes and Pastora, based in Estado Zulia in the far northwest of the country. The far-flung league would only last for a year. After the season, both Zulia-based teams were dropped. New investors bought back Venezuela and a new team Santa Maria was founded, based in La Guaira. The LVBP began its tenth season, in 1954, with four teams. However, the two Zulia teams formed their own Western league with four teams: Gavilanes, Pastora, Rapiños, and Centauros.
Once again for the 1955/1956 season the LVBP's two teams other than Caracas and Magallanes changed. Industriales de Valencia was added to the league and Pampero replaced the Santa Maria and Venezuela franchises. For the 1956/1957 season the Magallanes was renamed Oriente after Joe Novas and Joe Cruz bought the team.
The 1957/1958 season saw the introduction of a post-season series between the two Venezuelan leagues, the Liga Central based around Caracas and the Liga Occidental, based in Zulia. The winner would then be the representative of Venezuela in the Caribbean Series. Up until this season the Venezuelan representative always came from the Liga Central. The first winner of this new playoff format was Industriales which swept Rapiños in four games.
[edit] First Strike
The 1959/1960 Liga Central season was marred by a labor dispute between the Player's Association the team owners. The players had demanded the termination of the recently instituted playoffs system, because the alleging that the players on the eliminated teams were not paid during the semi-finals. The league decided to eliminate playoffs.
In mid-December, Alejandro Carrasquel, manager of Pampero, struck Eduardo Moncada, journalist and a team director. The league suspended Carrasquel for two years and the Player's Association threatened to go on strike in support of Carrasquel, whose penalty seemed overly harsh.
The dissent escallated when the players refused to participate in the All-Star game on December 24 in Maracaibo. In response, several players were suspended by the League and the rest of the season was was cancelled. Rapiños, winners of Liga Occidental, would represented Venezuela in twelth the Caribbean Series in 1960. This would be the last series featuring Cuba or Panama and would be the last series played until 1970.
[edit] League Expansion
Before the 1962/1963 season Pampero franchise became the Tiburones de La Guaira and Oriente became the Orientales in the following season after being purchased by Alfonso Carrasquel and Humberto B. Lozano. That team became the Navegantes del Magallanes once again for the 1964/1965.
The LVBP expanded by two teams for the 1965/1966 season, the Cardenales de Lara based in Barquisimeto and the Tigres de Aragua based in Maracay. Valencia moved outside of Caracas in the same year, three years later the team moved to Acarigua, Portuguesa becoming the Llaneros de Acarigua. The Llaneros lasted one year before being bought by Luis Rodolfo Machado, who had owned the Centauros. They became the Águilas del Zulia and moved to Maracaibo. During the same season (1969/1970), the Navegantes moved Valencia after being bought by a local ownership group. The newly moved team won the league's championship, and represented Venezuela in the reformed Caribbean Series, and become the first Caribbean champion in ten years.
[edit] Recent Years
The 1973/1974 season was cancelled due to a player's strike.
Before the 1975/1976 season the two Caracas-based teams could not reach an agreement to play in the Central University of Venezuela's Estadio Universitario. The Leones del Caracas and Tiburones de La Guaira merged their rosters to form the Llaneros de Portuguesa, nicknamed the Tibuleones. The teams unmerged after the season when they returned to the capital.
In 1991, the LVBP expanded to eight teams with the addition of the Caribes de Oriente and Petroleros de Cabimas. The league also split into two four-team divisions, Oriental (East) and Occidental (West). The top teams from both divisions would play in the semifinals and then the finals to determine the league's champion. The divisional set up was:
Oriental | Occidental |
Leones del Caracas | Tigres de Aragua |
Tiburones de La Guaira | Petroleros de Cabimas |
Navegantes del Magallanes | Cardenales de Lara |
Caribes de Oriente | Águilas del Zulia |
The Caribes would change their name to the Caribes de Anzoátegui before the start of the 2005/2006 season. The Petroleros changed their name prior to the 1995/1996 season to the Pastora de Occidente and again before the 2001/2002 to Pastora de los Llanos, then they moved to Margarita Island in 2007/2008 changing their name to Bravos de Margarita. This last move, also marked the supression of the 2 divisions and now all the teams play the same amount of games against each other in the regular season, with the top 5 clubs advancing to the Round-Robin.

Robert Boyle's Clockwork Universe
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
(Needs a summary)
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.

POSSIBLE MIDSIZE BLACK HOLE , 600 light-years from galaxy M82's center (green cross), got brighter over a three-month period. To its left are three splotches that got dimmer; they are thought to be smallish holes.
Image: Courtesy of NASA/SAO/CXC
Astronomy is the science of extremes--the biggest, farthest, oldest, hottest, coldest, densest, emptiest things known to man. But lately it seems that the strangest celestial bodies come in a medium size. Presenting: the midsize black hole.
The textbooks say that black holes fall into two categories: ones with the mass of a star, formed when a dying star implodes, and ones with the mass of a billion or so stars, formed no one knows quite how. Over the past several years, however, astronomers have built up a case for holes with a mass of 100 to 10,000 suns. "They might be a bridge between the ones we know about--the stellar-mass objects--and the ones we think we know about, the supermassive black holes," says Martin J. Ward of the University of Leicester in England.
This article was originally published with the title Hole in the Middle.

Enough Is Enough
Building a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources
The new book by Rob Dietz and Dan O'Neill
It's time for a new kind of economy We're overusing the earth's finite resources, and yet excessive consumption is failing to improve our lives. In Enough Is Enough, Rob Dietz and Dan O'Neill lay out a visionary but realistic alternative to the perpetual pursuit of economic growth—an economy where the goal is enough, not more. They explore specific strategies to conserve natural resources, stabilize population, reduce inequality, fix the financial system, create jobs, and more—all with the aim of maximizing long-term well-being instead of short-term profits. Filled with fresh ideas and surprising optimism, Enough Is Enough is the primer for achieving genuine prosperity and a hopeful future for all. "A lucid, informed, and highly constructive book." |

Boy Scouts from Troop 407 help World War II Veteran Bill Waters plant flags on Veterans graves at Belle Isle Cemetery in Lakeland
LAKELAND -- Boy Scouts from Troop 407 helped World War Two Veteran Bill Waters plant flags on Veterans graves at Belle Isle Cemetery in Lakeland ahead of Memorial Day weekend.
A small but determined group of Boy Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 407 turned out at Belle Isle Cemetery in Lakeland on Friday to place flags on veterans' graves for Memorial Day weekend.
The Boy Scouts helped World War Two veteran Bill Waters. For years Waters, a US Marine who fought in WW II, and several other veterans with the Solvay-Geddes Veterans group have taken care of veterans graves in four different cemeteries.
Waters is the last veteran left to tend to the flags, and when his knees started hurting him he knew he needed some help.
When the Boy Scouts from Troop 407 heard Waters needed help, they volunteered to plant the flags.
For the Scouts, it was an eye opening experience that made them appreciate the sacrifices veterans have made. The scouts plan to come back and help again next year.
For Waters, knowing that his fellow veterans' graves will be looked after in the future brings a sense of relief and hope for the future.
"I'm so thankful for their help. All veterans, no matter when or where they served, deserve this," he says.

Post subject: HOCKEY BAND
I thought there was a thread on the "hockey band" but I could not find it. The band director spoke at the luncheon today for the first time. He is really into going to all of the sport games that he has been able to attend including hockey and he and his wife are becoming big hockey fans. The topic of a hockey pep band came up and he said that he was going to look into possibly having a hockey pep band. Then Toot came up to do his talking about the team, upcoming games against Lowel and the possibility of a hockey pep band. He had several conversations with George Parks over the years about the possibility of a hockey pep band and there were several problems/conditions that needed to be considered. Toot said that at one time George suggested that Toot give up one of his scholarships to help form a pep band and that was not a possibility. However the band was/is a time consuming effort on the part of the band members. They always practice every day and with the effort for FB and the man's and woman's BB games and adding a pep band for hockey would put quite a demand for those that would be willing to play and manage to keep up their school work.
Besides playing at FB and BB the band goes out of town to participate an other concerts/shows like at Indy every four years. Then they also go to NJ and PA and all of this requires a lot of practice and time away from campus.
The band director is really looking forward to the halftime shows at the Patriots stadium next season. He said that the band would be leaving the campus around 7:30 AM to get to the stadium to have about an hour of practice before the game and with the post game concert that would make for a long day for the band. However no one is complaining. He is also looking forward to playing at some of the MAC away games. The band will be playing at the UConn game this fall and when we play BC at the Pats stadium. They were not allowed to do a show at the BC game this year as everyone knows.
Toot also said that at one time the athletic dept. tried to have a pep band for hockey but I don't know when. They would pay the band $ 25 each for each game but the problem was that it was not formally organized and usually did not have the same players for each game so that band was abandoned. Bottom line is that Toot and the band director will get together sometime in the future in hopes that something can be worked out to organize a pep band for hockey.
I think that I covered most of the stuff that was said about a hockey band but if someone else was at the luncheon and I missed something or said something wrong feel free to add/correct me.
One other thing we noticed that there was some initial construction going on on the east side of the campus pond and a guy that sits at the same table that I do said that they were making a sot for the construction trailers that would be coming on site for the start of the new academic building to be built there that will adjoin and hook up into Hasbrook. Also steel is starting to be put up for one of the buildings of the honor college between Boyden and the RAC center. Four huge cranes are working at the site. I anyone who has not been on campus since the fall and is going to the BB game on Sat. I would recommend checking the site out.

That's good news, Berkman, but I will reserve elation until it actually happens. I can't believe Parks wanted Toot to give up a scholarship to have a band. What a jerky thing to do!

That is what he said. Don't know if the request was made in jest or not. The only thing about a hockey band is that there is a limited time that a band can play compared to FB or BB as there are no regular time outs to allow a band to play. Outside of before the game, between periods or after the game when could a band play?

What's one scholly worth these days? Hard to believe there aren't enough of us out there to direct that much in contributions to the cause... I'm in for 5% any time the commitment is made.
There are successful hockey bands playing 30 second to 2 minute riffs and shorts at every stoppage of play in virtually every other College arena. No reason what-so-ever this couldn't be duplicated or improved on at Mullins.
My guess is, based on student attendance, that the personnel for pretty damn good pep band is at every home game when the students are on campus. Intersession and breaks might be an issue, I know it was for us 25 or so years ago when I was at BU.

There are plenty stopages in play for the band to play, otherwise why would every other school in Hockey East have a band except UMass?
As far as the scholarship, when I approached Parks about it once he said there would be a hockey band when he got money to do it. Read into that what you want to.

1) Giving up a scholarship for a band is one of the dumber ideas I've ever heard. I can't believe anyone would suggest that.
2) Does basketball really have that many more stoppages than hockey? Don't forget, there are two HUGE breaks between periods. There is ample time to play if desired.

The athletic office just called looking for my comments on my experience as a hockey season pass holder.
Asked what could make my experience better I said "get a pep band", other than beer sales it was the first thing that came to mind.
I urge others getting the call to say the same...

Originally slated for Q4 2011, the launch of Intel's Sandy Bridge-E desktop/workstation platform has been pushed back to Q1 2012, sources told VR-Zone. The high-end platform was expected by industry observers to be a December launch, targeting the shopping season, but it seems like January 2012 is found to be more fitting. Perhaps the International CES, where the latest and greatest from the tech industry is unveiled, serves as the ideal launch-pad for Sandy Bridge-E. Sandy Bridge-E is an upscale of the architecture that makes up Intel's 2011 Core processor family. Consisting of 4 or 6 cores, Sandy Bridge makes up two distinct product lines for the client desktop market. The chips pack massive quad-channel DDR3 integrated memory controllers and PCI-Express 3.0 hubs that can drive up to four graphics cards. The processor is made of a new 2011-pin LGA package, with the new Intel X79 chipset handling the rest of the platform. Source: VR-Zone
With all these pre-release slides, performance numbers, and rumors, I can't see why they would want to delay it because of that reason. All sources point to BD competing with the i5-2500k and i7-2600k, not Intel's socket 2011 chips. There must be another reason for this delay other than that.
2011 in 2012.... amd and intel are playing poker and were caught in the middle. I'm expecting a new bulldozer delay next...... have they even set a official date yet anyway. Intels got mad moola so I think there something up their sleave. If b.d. is really a contender intel will unleash a monster.......... or just waiting on tax return money lol
Is Ivy Bridge a tick or tock? Is it not just a shrink of the Current model SB to 22nm with some minor improvements? I guess the answer to the first question will answer the second one anyone know?
im thinking bulldozer as well, hopefully intel have got wind of something they dont like (win win for us) unless you have been waiting for sandy bridge-e and ivy bridge.
Intel still has to launch this year the Core i7-995X Extreme Edition so I don't think the time is right to compete with their own products. When they put Sandy out they were still in competition with themselves. If you wanted to buy a new CPU this year the only question was to go with Nehalem or Sandy and until autumn it will be the same. I think SB-E is not in competition with BD as BD will be priced and positioned performance wise against the current Sandy Bridge CPUs. SB-E will be high end with the price tag attached.
They could always hold off on a release if they think the BD is another Phenom as well. Why release something you can tweak and make better when the competition is down....... That said I hope the BD is awesome.
omfg ffs wtf pos!! So no LGA 2011 socket until 2012? If Bulldozer can outcompete the 2600K, then I am gonna have to bite at that. Never considered a i7 920 a great enough upgrade (for gaming) over my E8400 (I seen performance boost on similar machine and wasn't that impressed). Then when the 2600K came along, that only marginally improved upon the i7 920-960 series. Not really the upgrade that I had been holding off for. But at this rate, I am gonna be stuck with my E8400 for BF3 release time.....this cannot happen! Bulldozer better be good....real good.
lol all these posts with people who are holidng out for months on end till the next best thing is out Mkes me laugh really... theres always going to be a next best thing so buy what you can now and enjoy... besides, buying the current best will always cost at least 40% more Also to MatTheCat... the 2600k kicks the crap out of the dual core 8400... not sure what kind of increase in performance youre holding out for... perhaps you have to wait till 2014
Why the hell is everything being delayed? If they are as far along with Ivy as they claim to be, it will be pointless to even release SB-E. At the rate we're going, SB-E, Ivy, and Bulldozer will be launched on the same day.
This makes sense to me. It took them two years to follow up with Sandy Bridge after Nehalem. Now they're going to release an update to an incredibly successful processor line-up in under a year? Of course, this also means that Ivy Bridge has to be delayed until at least June 2012.. If only you could trust a major corporation's ETA. Deadlines just mean nothing to them..
I think the industry learnt something from the phenom TLB bug... maybe intel found a similar bug and prefers to delay instead of releasing it at all costs... delay wouldnt be that harmful. If core 2 duo was delayed 6 months, history wouldn't have been any different. successful products may be delayed.

Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in the Pearl River
In April 2005, the most exciting news in the history of wildlife conservation came from Arkansas, where a
team led by Cornell University
documented an Ivory-billed Woodpecker that was observed several times. There had been many sightings over the years, including David Kulivan's report of a pair in the Pearl River along the southern border between Louisiana and Mississippi in 1999, but sightings had been sporadic since the 1940s and usually lacked evidence or multiple sightings to back them up. The extreme wariness of the Arkansas bird suggested that populations of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers could be hiding out in other bottomland forests. Others have gotten out in the field to search for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers, including a
team led by Auburn University
that found Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in the Choctawhatchee River in Florida.
Having heard "kent" calls on the Mississippi side of the Pearl River in February 2000, where
unusual bark scaling
was discovered several years later, I knew that Kulivan's report was legitimate and that Ivory-billed Woodpeckers were waiting to be documented in that area. Since starting a search in November 2005, I have had ten sightings and obtained video footage (associated with sightings) in
, and
of my work in the Pearl River is available on YouTube. Data from two of the videos are published in
an article
in the
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
. The article is under copyright of the Acoustical Society of America, but
this pdf
may be downloaded for personal use (any other use requires prior permission of the publisher). Supplemental material is available
(click on readme.html). I obtained interesting video footage (not associated with a sighting) in
. Daily logs are available for the
, and
search seasons. Most of the searching involved kayaking and hiking through bottomland forests, but I spent some time observing from
tall cypresses
that provide unobstructed views over the treetops.
I regard a sighting as definite only if all doubts are eliminated by observing multiple characteristics (such as size, fieldmarks, flight or flap style, kents, double knocks), having multiple sightings in the same area over a short period of time, or obtaining data that support the sighting. I have had nine definite sightings in Louisiana (2-2-06, 2-16-06, three on 2-17-06, 2-20-06, 3-10-06, 2-16-08, 3-29-08) and one definite sighting in Florida (1-19-07). Two of the times I heard kents in Louisiana (2-16-06, 2-18-06) were definite encounters. Michael DiGiorgio has painted Ivory-billed Woodpeckers into photographs in order to bring to life some of my
best sightings

Good teachers are truly priceless
Every successful person can probably instantly name teachers who had a profound influence on his or her life. If good teachers were paid what they are worth, they'd all be millionaires.
When I was in college, I briefly considered following in my father's footsteps and becoming a teacher. Perhaps I could have been a good one, but after a little soul searching I came to the realization that my heart wasn't totally in it.
The difference between teachers who truly love what they do and do the job well and those just counting the days until summer break and going through the motions is like the difference in brand new Cadillac and a Ford Pinto with four bald tires and a blown head gasket. They'll both help keep you moving forward, but one can help you get anywhere you want to go.
I should know. I wasn't always the best student, but I was blessed over the course of my academic career to have some of the best teachers in the business. From kindergarten to college, I've learned from some truly special people.
On Friday one of those special people was recognized for touching the lives of four decades worth of students.
Benton Academy celebrated its 40th anniversary Friday, and during halftime they honored Mrs. Betty Smith, who has been teaching at the school since it opened. Mrs. Smith isn't the kind person who does a lot of talking about herself, so I didn't even realize she had been there since the beginning. I fully realize what a valuable asset she is to the school, however, because I am one of the many students who benefited from her services.
Mrs. Smith teaches sixth grade these days, but she was teaching third grade when I was in elementary school. It might seem like third grade is too early to have a significant impact on someone's direction in life, but I picked up a habit in Mrs. Smith's classroom that definitely helped shape me into the person I am today.
In Mrs. Smith's class we were often treated to stories. My favorites were the tall tales of Pecos Bill, a cowboy so tough that he could even ride a tornado, and Paul Bunyan, a superhuman lumberjack with a blue ox named Babe. These stories weren't just about entertainment; they also encouraged us to start reading on our own.
There was a little bookshelf in the back of the classroom, and I remember that one day I set a goal to read every single book on the shelf. I started out with some very simple books. I remember one that was basically a multiple choice book attempting to teach you how to use good manners in different situations, but I quickly moved on to more difficult texts (at least as difficult as could be found in the third grade library).
After I got excited about reading I noticed sometimes that adults would comment when they were surprised because I used a word in conversation that they didn't expect someone my age to know. That encouraged me to read even more. Being a good reader also helped make me a better listener, and it made me a much better writer over the years. That opened the door for how I make my living. Being able to communicate effectively will help you no matter what your profession may be.
As I said earlier, I wasn't always a good student. In high school I sometimes lost focus, and to this day I'm terrible at math. Some of my teachers are probably surprised that I ever became a productive member of society. Many of those same teachers deserve much of the credit. Even though my classroom days are long behind me, they helped me develop a love of learning that sticks with me to this day.
Knowing what an impact Mrs. Smith had on my life, it's hard to imagine what she's accomplished in 40 years. It's a legacy that will live on long after she retires from the classroom.
So many of us are still reaping the benefits, and we're thankful for her service.

theREALCarpeDM | Echo Canyon Date Climbed: Apr 6, 2013 | |
Posthole nightmare! Our experience sounds a bit like Scott's a few days ago. We missed a turn on the trail and ended up bushwhacking a lot. The day was warm, so the snowpack couldn't support us. We postholed most of the way up to the ridge and down. Twice the posthole snow collapsed on my snowshoe so that I couldn't pull it out. Another time, I fell when postholing and my snowshoe came off. | ||

Scott | Bull Date Climbed: Mar 29, 2013 | |
At 13,761 feet (4195 meters), Bull Hill is the highest named "hill" in the United States. It is still one of the higher mountains in the lower 48 States and much bigger than many mountains. I met Ben, Bethany, Brian and two dogs at the trailhead and we headed up the mountain. There was some confusion about finding the beginning of the route and once we did, the going wasn't that easy. There was lots of postholing, even with snowshoes and lots of tricky side stepping. It was a bit of a struggle to reach timberline. One we hit the timberline, the climbing was faster, but it was windy and cold. The weather really had an identity crisis today and the weather would turn anywhere from breaks of sunshine to blizzard in a matter of less than a minute. We had a mix of views and clouds, but got some peekaboo views of some of the surrounding mountains. After enjoying the summit, we headed back down the mountain. It was a much faster trip down than it was up. | ||

ajberry | Black Cloud - Elbert - Bull Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2008 | |
With Katie and Megan, both 11. Makes for a great day. The key thing is to stay high on Bull Hill's SE ridge when descending; you'll eventually hit an old miner's cabin at around tree line, and can then follow the miner's trail down to the Bl Cloud Trail. I've failed to pick that trail up on previous descents, and the result is a tedious bush-whack. | ||

habaceeba | On the way to Casco Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2009 | |
I enjoyed the class 2 climb from Echo Canyon TH past the mines. The ridge between Bull Hill and Casco Peak to the NW is easily manageable with fairly solid rock. The wind picked up while I was on the ridge and threatened to send me off the steep, jagged north side of the ridge. The terrain gets much steeper towards the summit block of Casco and that turned me around at 1/2 mile and 850 vertical feet left to go since total I had already gained over a vertical mile. I gave out and headed back down into Echo Creek valley for a bushwhack back to the trail. | ||

Some Curves/Average Height
The fabric and fit are beautiful on this dress. It will work for both straight and curvy girls. I just wore this to a wedding and got many compliments but... Yes there is a big but.. The dress twists and rides up.. It is truly horrible. I basically had to pull the dress down continually. Not to mention making sure the seams on the side of my des were in the right place. I am considering sowing my spanx into the dress so I won't have this issue again. If it will stay put it is a stunning dress. So beware!
