BUFORD -- When Kathleen and Eugene Walls remember their former home on four acres in Suwanee, they talk about tall oak trees, enough tomatoes to give away and blooming jonquils.
The Walls first called Suwanee home in the days when Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road was a dirt road that turned to mud in the winter. In the 1950s, the traffic was congested enough that the two-lane road, Georgia Highway 317, was widened as motorists drove from Atlanta to the mountains.It wasn't until 1960 that Interstate 85 was extended to Suwanee.
"It was truly country. We just loved it," said Kathleen Walls, a Suwanee native. "We fenced in the acreage and had cattle; we raised beef. So we didn't have so much grass to cut."
As Suwanee and Gwinnett County grew, the Walls' property, located at what now is the intersection of Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and Satellite Boulevard, became increasingly attractive to businesses looking to capitalize on the location. The growing offers to purchase their land didn't sway them because they liked where they lived, and were in no hurry to move, even for a big payday.
"They called us the holdouts," Kathleen said. "We really weren't holding out for anything, we had offers all along for money to buy it, but we just liked where we lived."
Eugene liked to climb on his tractor, and tend to several cows (seven was the most they ever had). They always had a garden with tomatoes, which Kathleen misses. And hundreds of jonquills, some that remain on the property and have begun to bloom.
"That was what I loved," Kathleen said.
But in May 2009, Eugene suffered a stroke, which left a tingly feeling on the left side of his body. He's not sure why doctors and nurses called him lucky, because he said his left arm "feels like 100 pounds." But Eugene is looking forward to his 83rd birthday in November. Kathleen is 78. They married in 1955.
Shortly after the stroke, they realized Eugene couldn't climb on his tractor, or work in the yard.
The couple toughed it out another summer, but realized they couldn't maintain the acreage.
"You didn't want it to grow up and look like the wilderness," said Kathleen, who had a beauty shop in the home for 40 years. "We decided it was what we needed to do."
The Walls decided to accept one of the offers from the growing list of would-be buyers. QuikTrip Corporation bought 3.96 acres of the property in August 2010, and will open a gas station and convenience store at the 3359 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road address in April.
As the process began, the Walls moved to a townhome in Buford, so they had less upkeep.
"I still miss the place because I enjoyed getting out when the weather was pretty," said Eugene, who retired in 1991 after 32 years working for the alarm company, ADT. "Something always needed to get done."
Once the transaction started, the zoning process and city council approval was postponed several times, and the deal was somewhat contentious between residents and council members.
At the November 2010 city council meeting, resident Tom McConnell voiced his opposition to the rezoning of the property from residential to commercial. McConnell said there needed to be a balance between the community and developers' interest.
Eventually, the city's Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions that included preserving and planting of trees.
The other stumbling block was a request by Eugene Walls to allow a car wash on the property. McConnell also opposed the car wash because of what he expected to be additional traffic concerns.
The QuikTrip application was approved by the city council, while the car wash was denied, both by a 6-0 vote.
Kathleen Walls said the couple is under contract with a business to use the remaining land on the Suwanee side of the property, but declined to name the business.
Kathleen said that they were not in a time crunch to sell in 2010, and she's at peace with the decision.
"I will support QuikTrip. I have no hard feelings for QuikTrip," she said. "(I) feel very grateful that in this time with the economy like it was, that QuikTrip wanted it. Just feel real fortunate that they did. We're just very happy that QuikTrip was looking for a place in Suwanee."
In June 2010, the Walls moved to Buford where a Homeowners Association takes care of most of the outside maintenance, but Kathleen brought a few of her beloved jonquils to keep up a small garden.
"I made up my mind, I was not going to have any regrets, and I have not had one regret," Kathleen said. "Eugene might have a little regret because he misses getting out and working in his yard, but he couldn't do it."

why wasn't it sold to someone who would build a house and live there if this isn't all about money? Didn't have to sell it to a gas station, of all things.
Mack711 3 years, 6 months ago
That whole area has gone commecial. The county and or city may have seen the potential in taxing it as commercial property so that may have been one of the reasons for the sale also. We wish them well and great health.Gwinnett was built by these and other fine citizens, not co-operate America.

Who would want to pay the price for commercial land, build a new house and live at the corner of L-S and Satellite? These people had to sell and good for them to live their remaining years comfortably.
Fourtunately for Suwanee, a successful company like QT, who maintain their properties and rarely vacate a location, is building there. That corner could have been developed with another nail/hair/tan strip center that would probably be 50% vacant.
Anyone remember the Spruill family farm in Dunwoody across from Perimeter Mall? Sold tracts of their land little by little from the late 60's to the early 90's until they were left with 16 acres flanked by 285, Ashford Dunwoody and Hammond Dr. Made hundreds of millions on that deal when they finally sold.
Mack711 3 years, 5 months ago
Remember the Spruill family very well and used to hunt on some of that land, with permission of course. The did it righr and made their property sale at the correct time just like in this case. QT has great reputation and their stores are clean and always neat. Better than some 7/11.

That corner could have been developed with another nail/hair/tan strip center that would probably be 50% vacant."
The only reason why the Walls were still living at that location is because they had a relatively large tract of land that isolated them from the increasingly commercial area growing around them.
The Walls had also moved there 60 years ago when that area very rural and L'ville-Suwanee Road was a dirt road.
The Walls' land was clearly a lushly-wooded property that they had a very deep sentimental attachment to and they did the right thing in selling the property to a responsible buyer in QT when they could no longer keep up with the maintenance on the property after Mr. Walls' stroke.
Many kudos to the Walls for being responsible stewards of the land all-around because, as you stated, they could have easily sold the property to some low-brow developer that would have put up another in a long and seemingly endless line of cookie-cutter strip malls that would be sitting half empty and may have even gone into foreclosure in this economy.
At least with a company like QuikTrip we know that the land will be occupied for the long-term by a responsible tenant who will actually add to the county's property tax digest by paying the taxes on time and keeping up the maintenance on the property without having to be pushed to so by an increasingly severely-strained corps of code enforcement officers.

This was received with great praise and enthusiasm at Thanksgiving dinner this year. Many compliments on the stuffing and the moist turkey breast. Required a bit more prep than I'm usually willing to do but definitely worth it in the end.flag if inappropriate
So I made the recipe a second time with better results. First I pounded the breast a bit more and used a smaller (4 lb) breast. It was moist, lovely in the middle but still dry on the ends. I would suggest making this recipe with 2 small pieces so that it would be easier to roll to a consistent girth. My Thanksgiving guests are real foodies and they liked it too - so this is a keeper!flag if inappropriate
I'm only reviewing the turkey because I didn't make the stuffing. I used the fennel, prosciutto stuffing on this site. I did follow exactly the directions for cooking the turkey and it was delicious. We were only 3 for Thanksgiving and I didn't was to cook a whole turkey. This was perfect. I will definitely make this again.flag if inappropriate
I made this with a 5 lb breast and so doubled the recipe. The dish had to be cooked ahead of dinner as it was served at a celebration held at my friend's house. Although very tasty, it ended up a little too dry (even though I used a thermometer, took it out of the oven at a reading of 155 and let it rest). I made the gravy by mixing a roux in the pan and added in 6 or 8 quartered shallots that had roasted along side the bird as well as a healthy amount of thyme and some sherry. In the end, even the daintiest of dinner guest had seconds. Carving was kind of a nightmare and if one had an electric knife I think the presentation would benefit from it. I think that I would try this again but use less stuffing inside the roulade.flag if inappropriate
I made this recipe the day after Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit, even with people already sick of Turkey. I could not find just a breast of turkey, so I bought a whole bird and filleted the breast out myself. The double butterfly was very easy to do. Really, the hardest part of the whole recipe is getting the breast pounded out flat and rectangular. This had tons of rich, mushroomy flavor to it, and the gravy that was made from the pan drippings was delicious! Some of my guests for the evening are already requesting it again. This is now on my list of top main dish recipes.flag if inappropriate
I am about to make this for Thanksgiving but was able to get only 5-7 lb breast. Any estimation on cooking time? Should I double amounts of stuffing?flag if inappropriate
I make this exactly as the recipe directs except for the skin. Wrapping it in prosciutto sounds good though. Don't really need the lacing pins. If you need help holding it together while you roll it, use toothpicks.flag if inappropriate
I made three roulades for "feasts" on two consecutive days. Prepped one day (prep is laborious), cooked the next. The butcher "butchered" the butterfly, so I might do it myself next time. Needed much more broth than recommended during roasting, and more time to cook. Lovely presentation, rich-tasting, a bit pricy, and far from "everyday" food. Best gravy EVER.flag if inappropriate
Made this dish for Turkey Day and it is excellent! I particularly liked the stuffing. Due to grocers shortage I used proscuitto vice pancetta, and it was pretty good, although bacon would be a better replacement.flag if inappropriate
This was delicious. I made the recipe about how it is stated (most unusual) and it was a big hit. I butterflied the turkey myself and it wasn't that difficult. It came out really well. One of my guests actually took my stained printed recipe to give to someone else.flag if inappropriate

RMLD-IS intrinsically safe remote methane leak detector is designed to "impact detection of fugitive greenhouse gas emissions."
As an eye-safe laser-based natural gas (methane) detector, it quickly and efficiently detects leaks up to 100 ft away. This enables remote detection of underground piping, compressor stations, offshore platforms, gas processing plants, gas gathering, drilling sites, as well as above-ground. When the infrared laser beam is transmitted from the launch port, some of the laser light is reflected back and converted to an electrical signal. This carries data to deduce methane concentration.

Any perf advantage moving from 1.3.1_09 to 1.4 or 1.5?
Without changing any code or hardware, is there any innate advantage to moving from 1.3.1_09 to 1.4 or later?
Thanks in advance.
Well this of course depends on what your code is doing, it may also hit a known performance regression (like some code does which relies on the String/StringBuffer shared-char-buffer implementation), but such cases are very unlikely and often compensated by the better jvm implementations.
Escepcially when moving from such old versios (1.3) to something newer (5.0 or even mustang) its quite likely you'll see overall improvements. In some areas more than in others, but quite likely everywhere.
I would also encourage you to switch because of much better stability.
lg Clemens
Yes there are significant improvements in the JVM. Some of my code is 20% faster on 1.5 than on 1.4.2.

Healthy Eating Research Releases 2012 Call for Proposals
Healthy Eating Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The program supports research on environmental and policy strategies with strong potential to promote healthy eating among children to prevent childhood obesity, especially among lower-income and racial and ethnic populations at highest risk for obesity. Findings are expected to advance RWJF's efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015.
This call for proposals (CFP) is for two types of awards aimed at providing key decision- and policy-makers with evidence to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015. The award types are: Round 7 grants and RWJF New Connections grants awarded through the Healthy Eating Research program.
Approximately $1.9 million will be awarded under this CFP for the two award types.

Shutter vs Aperture vs Manual vs Program DSLR Shooting Modes
By Will Greenwald
on Aug. 18, 2010 at 7 a.m.
Most higher-end compact and Micro Four Thirds cameras and all SLRs feature PASM modes.
Digital cameras can have dozens of different shooting modes, from the standard "Automatic" mode that lets the camera handle everything but the shutter and zoom, to more specific modes like "Fireworks" and "Birthday Party." The majority of these mods are straightforward presets, locking the camera into certain exposure settings commonly used in those situations. While they might seem helpful on point-and-shoot cameras, they offer no real control over how to shoot.
, or "P," is essentially the automatic shooting mode for skilled photographers. In Program mode, the camera handles the aperture and shutter settings, but lets you dictate ISO sensitivity and, when the camera supports it, lets you shoot RAW image files. Those choices are an important distinction from most cameras' Automatic modes, which automate the ISO sensitivity and usually only let you shoot JPG images, even if the camera supports the RAW image format.
Shutter Priority
, or "S" (sometimes "Tv" on mode dials), gives the users full control over shutter speed and adjusts the lens aperture to get a proper exposure. If the camera doesn't think you can get a good exposure at your chosen shutter speed based on the light metering, the display will usually show the f-stop in red, indicating it's not enough. This mode is best for setting up high-speed action shots or long exposures for artistic effects. If you want to capture a thrown ball or a playing dog, crank the shutter speed to 1/250ths of a second or faster. If you want a very long exposure of the moon, or an artsy photo of cars whizzing by a dark street at night, set the camera on a tripod and bring the shutter speed down to half a second or slower.
Aperture Priority
, or "A" is the opposite of Shutter Priority; this mode mode gives the user total control over the lens' aperture, automatically setting the shutter speed to provide an appropriate exposure at the chosen f-stop. This mode is useful for controlling the depth of your focal plane in a shot. By opening the aperture wide, to f/1.8, you can get a very narrow focal plane that's perfect for artistic shots and portraits.
This technique lets you capture a very sharp subject while leaving the background extremely blurry, causing the subject to "pop." Alternately, you can get a much wider depth of field by closing the aperture down to f/8 or higher, which will put in focus much more in front and behind your subject. While Aperture Priority mode doesn't have an indicator that shows if an exposure will be poor, it's best to stick to 1/50th of a second or faster shutter speed when shooting without a tripod. If the camera cranks the shutter speed slower than that using your aperture setting, consider other shooting options.
, or "M," is the total user control mode. It lets the user change both aperture and shutter settings manually, giving both the most flexibility and the most potential for a bad exposure. Because of this, you should only start using Manual mode after you've gotten used to the others and see what different settings mean in different conditions. Fortunately, like the Shutter Priority mode, the Manual mode on many cameras have an indicator that turns red if the current settings will produce a bad exposure under current lighting. No automatic indicator can make up for experience, though.
What shooting mode do you favor? What are your tips for shooting with Program, Shutter, Aperture, or Manual modes?

Now more than ever workers are leading double lives, only not in the way that you might expect. The old distinctions of day job and night job, or office life and home life are fading to the background as we rapidly embrace a new double life: one actual and one virtual. It is almost cliché to cite statistics detailing the staggering growth of social media, but it is nevertheless instructive. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and LinkedIn boast a combined 885 million worldwide users, with Facebook accounting for 56 percent of that figure despite first reaching 250 million users just last year.1 Facebook is currently the second most visited Internet site in the United States behind Google, while MySpace, Twitter and LinkedIn each place in the top 20.2 Combine all social media and blog sites, and suddenly 22 percent of all time spent on the Internet is accounted for.3 If use of social media has not already permeated your workplace, perhaps the next IT roll out should focus on ditching the dial-up modems.
Employers must heed the social media revolution and the significant changes it has brought to the employment landscape. Indeed, the double lives of social media users can profoundly affect employment decisions spanning issues such as background checks, hiring, termination, and litigation strategies. The reason is that virtual personas created on these websites are not so much creations as they are extensions of users' real lives. A Facebook profile could just as easily tell you someone's employment history and experience, as it could their least favorite '80s hair band. For that matter, a profile could also detail negative information about an individual's employer.

Y'all ... Sometimes I just can't help but give God the praise and glory He deserves. As I hear, it's not supposed to be a private thing. That would be pointless.
But my HP really does deserve all the praise, worship, adoration, and love I can give Him. Every day, the most wonderful small things happen around me, in me, by me, to me, and through me. Sometimes something happens that is so big or everything in a row adds up to HUGE GRATITUDE.
Please visit "Expect The Unexpected", "Getting the Expected". I'd posted a story of things that have been happening to me all week ... adding up.
One could call them coincidences or lack of paying attention ... just things that could have happened anyway that made me glad. I, of course, have been accrediting God and thanking Him, not so much for the situations, but that He is creating a new attitude, a new heart in me.
But today is so undeniably a GOD thing (to me) that my cup dun runt over.
This is some experience, strength, and hope for you.
Sometimes I just can't help it

We told you to tune into The Engadget Show as a recorded interview with Stephen Elop was shown where the CEO talked about Windows Phone and their phones, the Lumias. Here's a few key moments from the talk:
- Nokia's plans for U.S. launch: early 2012, multiple carriers, multiple price points, and a big marketing push.
- Stephen Elop believes that to sell Windows Phone to consumers, "you have to sell the whole experience."
- On the exclusion of NFC and a front-facing camera: Nokia made decisions to remove feature based on various factors like costs, prices, and their internal roadmap for the future.
- Nokia jointly plan software & hardware plan with Microsoft for Windows Phone, which should give credibility to Tango being "all about Nokia".
- Stephen Elop also said the Lumias are coming to China in early 2012 and said that new "provisions" may have to be included to make the phones native to the region.
- When asked if Nokia will release an official version of their classic Snake game, he replied there is no immediate plan but they do want to push exclusive software so it could happen.
So in summary: Nokia is launching in the U.S. and China in early 2012, they will be advertising these devices a lot, and consumers will have plenty of options. Sounds good to us!

Turtle Hull
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
Boot: I was told some decades ago that "boot" comes from the French "boite" [circumflex-i], meaning "box". Almost the same as "trunk"; likewise "bonnet"/"hood".
I wonder if there are any other bits of cars where we're separated by our common language?
Vic Parrish:
I always thought the origin of "tump" was a sort of mish-mash of "tip" and "dump", which in the circumstances I've heard people use it made perfect sense.
Louise Hope:
>> I wonder if there are any other bits of cars where we're separated by our common language? <<
Most bits, I think. Or parts, as we say in the US. Windscreen : windshield.
B.K. Warfield:
My grandparents in east Texas called the car trunk the "turtle hull" but never explained why. I've wondered whether it was a corruption of the term "turtle hold" on old sailing ships. They also used "car shed" for garage or carport.
Loryia Bond:
My Aunt in West Virginia always called the trunk of the car the 'Turtle' – fascination with word origins! Thanks for the forum!
Barney Smith:
Look at old cars from the forties and early fifties and you will see that the trunk lid resembles a turtle hull. A turtle shell that has had the turtle "hulled" out of it.
William S. Deaver:
Being a child growing up in the South in the 60s and 70s I can say without a doubt that "Turtle" was very common every day language referencing the trunk of a car but never in my life have I ever heard or used the term "calf rope" to mean surrender or instead of "Uncle". That's an obscure one to be sure.

Cardiomyopathy Overview
Cardiomyopathy (cardio=heart +myo=muscle + pathy=disease/abnormality) is diseased heart muscle that cannot function (contract) adequately. Cardiomyopathy results in the failure of the heart muscle to meet the needs of the body for oxygen rich blood and removal of carbon dioxide and other waste products. There are many causes of cardiomyopathy, but the end result is a heart that is weak and cannot maintain a normal ejection fraction or cardiac output.
Heart Function Overview
The heart is an electrically-innervated, muscular pump that pushes blood throughout the body through blood vessels. A specialized group of cells located in the upper chamber (atrium) of the heart, acts as a pacemaker that generates an electrical impulse. This impulse begins a sequential electrical stimulation of heart muscle that then contracts in a coordinated way. Accordingly, first the upper chamber of the heart is stimulated to contract and send blood into the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. There is a slight delay in the electrical signal that allows the ventricles to fill. Then the ventricles contract pumping blood throughout the body. Another slight delay then occurs, allowing blood to return to the upper chambers of the heart, refilling the heart for the next cycle.
Cardiac output is a measurement of heart function that measures the amount of blood that the heart pumps in a specific period of time.
The ejection fraction is a measurement of the heart's effectiveness in pumping blood. It is the percentage of blood in a filled ventricle that is pumped out of the heart with each contraction. A normal heart will have an ejection fraction of 60%-70%. This number can decrease if the heart muscle cannot squeeze or contract adequately.

Nantgwynant and Craflwyn walk
Craflwyn, Gwynedd, LL55 4NGRoute details and mapDownload as a print friendly PDF
Route overview
One of Wales' most spectacular valleys, Nantgwynant is encircled by high mountains, with Snowdon rising up to the north.This exhilarating walk explores an historic landscape, rich in Dark Age legend, with the remains of 19th-century copper mining lining much of the route. Enjoy dramatic waterfalls, great views and wildlife as you climb up through the National Trust's Hafod Y Llan farm, cross the hillside and descend to Craflwyn, a Victorian hall and estate.

- Viewpoint
Start: Bethania carpark, grid ref: SH599489
Start at the car park on the A498, near Bethania. Take the Watkin Path (eventually leads to Snowdons summit) on the other side of the road heading north with an oak woodland on your left.
Once you rise above the woodland, you are greeted by a wonderful view of the Afon Cwm Llan waterfalls. The ridge to your right is home to many plants, including Juniper.
Show/HideAfon Cwm Llan waterfalls
Good opportunity for photographers and walkers to view or photograph the spectacular waterfall cascades.
Leave the Watkin Path and turn left onto a track. Enjoy a wide panorama of the valley, Llyn Dinas lake and the surrounding mountains.
Show/HideLlyn Dinas lake
Enjoy the breathtaking views across the Llyn Dinas lake.
Continue on this track, passing through a wall before entering Bylchau Terfyn. You are now on National Trust farmland which is managed in an environmentally sensitive way. Welsh black cattle graze this land, keeping it in optimum condition for plants by preventing excessive grow of certain grasses and bushes. A little further on, cross a dry stone wall using the stile.
Walk uphill through heather until you reach the highest point on this walk 344yd (315m). You can see Beddgelert village from here and warnings that there are old copper mine shafts around. Bats live in the old mine workings. Descend the hillside, crossing a stream via stepping stones, and climb over a stile.
Pass a derelict barn (once used to shelter animals) and follow the way-marks to another stile which leads into the Craflwyn estate. Keep on the path until you reach a T-junction, where you turn left and walk down to the estate buildings and car park. To your left is the historic site, Dinas Emrys. Return via bus or along the valley and around Llyn Dinas.
Show/HideCraflwyn Hall
The Trust acquired Craflwyn in 1994. It had been neglected and required a great deal of restoration. The Victorian mansion has now been converted into a centre where volunteers stay while helping with conservation tasks. You can also hire it for weddings.

Mob Threatens Coulter Prior to Speech
Posted By admin On March 24, 2010 @ 8:52 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
Julian Beltrame
The Canadian Press
March 24, 2010
Hundreds of screaming students succeeded in what few thought possible Tuesday night – they silenced incendiary right-winger Ann Coulter.
Organizers for the American's tour of Canada scrubbed her much-anticipated speech at the University of Ottawa when students crowded the entrance before her arrival. A spokesman for the organizers said about 2,000 "threatening" students posed a security threat to the darling of the American right, and she was advised against appearing.
"It would be physically dangerous for Ann Coulter to proceed with this event," said conservative political activist Ezra Levant inside Marion Hall.

1. To prepare guacamole: Place unpeeled garlic in a small dry skillet over medium heat; cook, turning occasionally, until soft and blackened in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool, then slip off the skins; finely chop. Scoop avocado flesh into a large bowl. Add the garlic, cilantro and lime juice to taste. Coarsely mash everything together. Season with salt. Transfer to a serving bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. To set up the guacamole bar: Scoop garnishes into small serving bowls and put the chips in a large basket or bowl. Encourage guests to spoon a little guacamole on a chip and top with garnishes that appeal.
Kitchen Tip: To toast pumpkin seeds, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
To Make Ahead: Cover and refrigerate the guacamole (Step 1) up to 1 day.

The Craziest Stuff We Saw at Mudstock
This year's Mudstock at the River Run ATV Park in Jacksonville, Texas has come to a close. It was four days of ATVs, mud-dancing, music, contests, family fun and general craziness; we miss it already! We witnessed things that made us laugh, gasp and think to ourselves, 'well, we know what that person will be asking forgiveness for in church tomorrow!'
Here are our favorite moments from Mudstock 2012.

Francis Towne, Temple of Saturn, a watercolour
Rome, before AD 1780
A view of the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum
Born in Isleworth and apprenticed to a coach
painter, Towne (1739-1816) went to Exeter in 1763 and began to
teach drawing. He toured Wales in 1777, developing his
The Temple of Saturn is one of the finest Roman temples remaining in the Forum Romanum. Towne's watercolour over pen and ink uses flat patterns of strong colour: strong sunlight bleaches the walls and washing hanging on the line and the light glances off the curved surfaces of the columns and even the row of flower-pots, casting shadows of different tone. On the right, Towne uses colour to differentiate the shading of the trees, balancing that dark mass with the buildings and figures in shadow at lower left. Above, a blue sky is partly filled with large clouds, their white mass as solid as the buildings beneath.
Houses and palaces are attached to the ruins; the Forum and its decrepit buildings were inhabited for centuries. The human figures are however, dwarfed by the scale of the ruins and play little part in the artist's interpretation of the scene. All unnecessary detail is excluded in favour of the overall composition and form is defined purely by outline.

Introducing Your Loved One to Family and Friends
Easy does it! Just repeat after me, "I know this is hard to do. But millions have done it before me, and millions will do it after me." Now, take a deep breath, and we'll continue.
You are head-over-heels loopy about this wonderful person you have recently become enamored with from PerfectMatch.com. Naturally, at some point, you'll want to show her or him off. Completely understandable and logical! However, there're some dangers if you go public with this person too quickly.
Here are some things to think about and consider:
So, you ask, when should I showcase this fabulous human being?
Every relationship has to go through the sometimes awkward stage of introduction. It's inevitable this moment has to come when your friends and family meet someone you care about, and they all size each other up! You want to make sure you know what your goals are before you make these introductions. Is it feedback, an announcement you're really serious, or a deepening of the relationship you are looking for? Just make sure you know your own motives before you begin!
Once your thoughts are clear, you want to let this important person in your life know what they're getting into so they're on the same page. You wouldn't want them thinking one thing, when you're thinking something else. Besides, good communication is one of the most important factors in any long-lasting relationship! Once you're married, you two will have many opportunities to look back at these introductions and share many laughs!

Wetmore: 5 thoughts on Mauer's RBIs, running risks, Hicks' decision
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS - Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was ejected from Sunday's game, but the Twins rallied from behind to beat the White Sox, 6-5, and complete a rare four-game home sweep. The last time the franchise completed a four-game sweep of a series in which they trailed at some point in each game was in 1918 as the Senators, according to MLB Network.
This column presents 5 thoughts from Sunday's game.
As always, feel free to ask any questions or make any observations in the comments. If you have a unique baseball observation during a game, feel free to share it with me on Twitter (@DerekWetmore).
1. Twincs ace Phil Hughes tossed a clunker Sunday. He lasted only five innings (87 pitches) and allowed five earned runs on eight hits. He's only allowed five earned runs in a start one other time since signing with the Twins this offseason. He pitched five innings in each of his first three starts this season, but until Sunday hadn't failed to get through the sixth inning since April 15.
It was a rare poor start for Hughes, who uncharacteristically got seven outs on the ground and just one in the air.
2. Hughes faced 23 batters and started off just 14 of those plate appearances with a strike. That's 61 percent, compared to his season rate of 71 percent. That's not to suggest it's the reason Hughes struggled--it's more likely a result of his struggles. Hughes didn't have his best control and so he didn't get ahead of batters with strike one as often as he typically does. And when you're working from behind in the count without your best stuff, the going gets tougher.
It's worth nothing that drop from his 2014 first-strike rate represents only two or three batters across 5 innings.
3. Joe Mauer went 2-for-4 and had another multiple-RBI game, his third in the past four games. Could he be rolling? It's too soon to say, but we'll see over the next few weeks. As noted in a recent 5 thoughts column, Mauer had just one multiple-RBI game in April and one in May, so three in June is a promising sign.
While there's no defending Mauer's performance so far this season, it should be pointed out that he entered Sunday batting just .196 with runners in scoring position. In his career, Mauer has hit .327 in such situations, which should put to rest the notion that he wilts in important situations.
It's my belief that the idea that some players have an innate ability to perform better in clutch situations is vastly overstated. It's questionable if such a skill exists at all. Players tend to perform right around their career levels, if given enough plate appearances with runners in scoring position throughout a career. So look for Mauer to hit much better than .200 with RISP the rest of the season, provided he is healthy.
Imagine the boost the Twins offense would receive with a return of the Joe Mauer that Twins fans grew accustomed to for 10 seasons.
4. The Twins created outs on the bases by taking aggressive gambles and it hurt them Sunday. Brian Dozier was thrown out at third base trying to advance on a ground ball to shortstop in the first inning. In the second inning, Kurt Suzuki got thrown out at the plate after Eduardo Escobar singled. (Escobar took second on the throw to the plate.) After Sam Fuld hit his second double of the game in the sixth inning, he was thrown out at third on Danny Santana's bunt back to the pitcher. Santana was thrown out trying to steal second.
The flip side of the aggressive approach is that it can add extra bases where many teams would be content with fewer. Fuld scored from second on Dozier's single to center field in the fourth inning, and Santana went from first to third on the play. Then Joe Mauer hit a single up the middle that drove in Santana and Mauer took second on the throw.
Generally, I enjoy aggressive base running on an aesthetic level. One of the most exciting plays in baseball, in my opinion, is when a player takes advantage of his opponent's mistake or oversight and takes an extra base. I don't have the numbers to quantify if the Twins this season have improved their chance of winning or hindered it with their decisions on the bases.
(Thanks, readers, for helping me correct this section. I had it wrong when I first posted.)
5. Aaron Hicks apparently has decided that he's switch hitting again. General Manager Terry Ryan said he's supportive of the decision but isn't thrilled about the waffling. Ryan made it clear Sunday that Hicks is far too young for the Twins to give up on him. It's a weird development in the story of Hicks' career. He's at Double-A New Britain on a rehab assignment for his shoulder. Once the rehab stint runs out, the Twins would have the choice to activate him. What seems more likely, in my opinion, is to return him from the rehab stint and option him to the minor leagues. Whether he's batting exclusively right-handed or switch hitting, Hicks has some work to do at the plate before he's an everyday Major Leaguer.

In kinematic phase analysis, the signals are converted into a wave graph that illustrates the insect's movement pattern. The pattern only changes when the nervous system kicks in. How do the researchers know this? In a separate but similar experiment, they implanted electrodes into the legs of seven cockroaches to measure nerve signals.
The nervous-system delay the researchers observed is substantially longer than scientists expected, Revzen said. And it runs contrary to assumptions in the robotics community, where computers stand in for brains and the machines' movements are often guided by continuous feedback to that computer from sensors on the robots' feet.
Revzen said the new findings might imply that the biological brain, at least in cockroaches, adjusts the gait only at whole-step intervals rather than at any point in a step. Periodic, rather than continuous, feedback systems might lead to more stable (not to mention energy-efficient) walking robotswhether they travel on two feet or six.
Robot makers often look to nature for inspiration. As animals move through the world, they have to respond to unexpected disturbances like rocky, uneven ground or damaged limbs. Revzen and his team believe that patterns in how they move as they adjust could give away how their machinery and neurology work together.

Signs of fall are beginning to appear in the northeastern United States. Glimpses of colorful leaves are showing and a crisp autumn smell hangs in the air.

Now, a new study just out in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research suggests that if left uncontrolled, the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) can "readily...
Pollination from the plant's perspective
If plants had a perspective, they would probably think of pollinators as more than just extra-friendly house guests. That is, plants would be more likely to view pollinators as the mutual friend who likes to set up blind dates. Bees might limit pollen to its use as a protein source for the hive, and birds might devour the flesh of a fruit and eliminate the seed as waste. However, many flowering plants, as Bug Girl pointed out in a...
Ballistics experts of the bug world

Of course, these insects are not the only invertebrates carrying chemical artillery—bees are maybe the most famous projectile-launching bugs around. The below insects, however, give a unique look into chemical warfare on a small scale.

Single Payer Health Care System
What is Single Payer Health Care?
Single payer—or Medicare for All—is simply a streamlined financing mechanism where one entity administers the health care funding and payments. It expands the cost-effective and administratively efficient Medicare program to cover everyone in the United States. Health care delivery (such as hospitals and doctors) remains private and patients are guaranteed choice of care from providers.
|Single Payer health care would create a government-run health care system or "socialized medicine."
|Single payer creates a national insurance system by collecting and administering funds through a single public agency. Hospitals and doctors remain private providers but get reimbursed directly from this public system.
|Greater government involvement in health care would lead to rationing—with a bureaucrat making your health care decisions.
|Currently, most private insurance companies restrict your choice and ration your care. With a single payer system, patients have a choice of provider, decisions are made between provider and patient, and the provider is assured fair and prompt payment.
|Moving toward a single payer health care system would disrupt patient care.
|Extending Medicare insurance to the entire population would be relatively simple because the system is already established and nearly all providers are existing Medicare providers.
Why Single Payer?
The Council supports the insurance expansions included in the Affordable Care Act, but while this reform is welcome, it does not address many inequities of the health care system. For-profit insurance companies still control much of the health insurance system, devoting billions to marketing and shareholder dividends. Limited provider networks and excessive cost sharing will continue to reduce access and choice. Managed care and prior authorizations will still limit the treatments a provider can prescribe. The system will still be fragmented, causing confusion for patients, complications for providers, and limiting the negotiating power of payers. Over 30 million Americans are projected to remain uninsured. We can do better.
The National Health Care for the Homeless Council supports H.R. 676, the Improved Medicare for All Act, as well as state-level efforts to institute single payer health systems. Such as system would best serve those experiencing homelessness and the nation at large. Please view the documents and links to partners below for more information.

"Good Morning America" welcomed "special guest co-host" Ann Romney to the show Wednesday morning, but the "GMA" studio kitchen — a Democrat, no doubt — objected in the strongest possible terms.
An ABC News rep told The TV Column on Wednesday afternoon that the GOP's FLOTUS candidate was not a guest co-host, as had been reported since last month, but a "special guest." That must also come as news to . . . ABC News, which had two reports on its Web site Wednesday afternoon referring to Ann Romney as the day's "GMA" guest host. And which sent photos of Romney to The TV Column last week, explaining that "Ann Romney is set to guest-host GMA next week on Wednesday."

On March 27, the Price Council accepted the bid on the city's water pipeline project submitted by Condie Construction of Springville.
Spearheaded by public works director and city engineer Gary Sonntag, the final design and alignment of the bid documents was prepared by Hansen, Allen and Luce Engineering.
Although the project was projected to cost more than $7.5 million, several bids came in in the mid $5 million range and the successful bid was $5.5 million.
There were three bids submitted in the $5 million range, while the city received proposals from another dozen contractors exceeding $6 million.
A committee of city officials met prior to last week's final awarding announcement and reviewed the bid award, identified discrepancies in the cost breakdown and evaluated the contractors work history.
It is estimated that it will take four to six weeks before initial construction begins.
Acting on unrelated city business agenda items at last Wednesday's meeting, the council approved a request to contribute funding to the Helper Arts Festival. The event is scheduled for mid-August.
Kathy Hanna-Smith appeared before the council and summarized the benefits provided by the 2001 Helper Arts Festival.
Last year, Price city contributed $2000 toward funding the project. Although the request was approved, the donation will be contingent on the availability of funds from the refund of the Olympic banners.
There is a chance the funds cannot be released until after July 1, which will then be in next year's budget.
With the Olympics and the Paralympics concluded, the banners , signs anddecorations that hung throughout the city will be taken down and offered at silent auction, according to a plan outlined by Price officials.
Some of the banners have been committed to various people and agencies, but the remainder of items were declared surplus and be distributed as special donations in a silent auction.
The auction will be advertised through April 16. The silent auction event will take place at the city hall from April 17 until noon on May 1.
Dennis Geary, facilities manager at the College of East ern Utah, made a presentation explaining how the new main building would change the look of the Price campus.
The building will be a two-story, L shaped structure.
The college's new main building will be constructed facing west in what is currently the parking lot for the Bunnell-Dmitrich Athletic Center and the existing structure presently housing the CEU administration offices.
Geary explained that the new main building will become the focal point of the price campus.
Once the construction project is completed and all of the departments as well as the classrooms have been shuffled, the current building will be torn down. The new plan also possibly includes a drive in circle to replace the present building site.
Removing the older structure will create a more attractive and functional central campus in north east Price, pointed out the college's facilities manager.
The new main building has been approved and is expected to be completed by 2003. Geary told the Price mayor and city council members that officials expect the construction project to start in mid-April.

Yohimbe – for Men & Women
Yohimbe (Pausinystalia yohimbe) is prepared from the inner bark of a tall evergreen tree that grows in western Africa. It has been used traditionally for centuries to enhance virility, and is used primarily in modern times as a natural aphrodisiac – for both men and women.
Yohimbe is highly reputed for its ability to increase libido. Its main alkaloid, yohimbine, increases the reflex excitability of nerves in the lower spine and enhances sensation in the genital region, which may lead to greater arousal.
Yohimbine acts as a stimulant to the nervous system and causes an increase in the production of noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter that causes dilation of the genital blood vessels. This improves blood flow which may help promote stronger (firmer) erections. Yohimbine (the isolated alkaloid) is used in some pharmaceuticals for treating erectile dysfunction.
Yohimbe may also improve athletic performance and endurance, and some athletes have used it as an alternative to anabolic steroids.
For natural aphrodisiac support for both men and women, consider Yohimbe to:
• Strengthen libido
• Improve sexual vitality and desire
• Increase arousal and pleasurable sensations
• Strengthen endurance and stamina
