Mareca americana (but see text) |
The American wigeon (Anas americana), also baldpate, is a species of dabbling duck found in North America. This species is classified with the other wigeons in the dabbling duck genus Anas, which may be split, in which case wigeons could go into their old genus Mareca again. It is the New World counterpart of the Eurasian wigeon. Anas is the Latin for "duck" and americana refers to America.[2]
The American wigeon is a medium-sized bird; it is larger than a teal, but smaller than a pintail. In silhouette, the wigeon can be distinguished from other dabblers by its round head, short neck, and small bill.[3] It is 42–59 cm (17–23 in) long, with a 76–91 cm (30–36 in) wingspan and a weight of 512–1,330 g (1.129–2.932 lb).[4][5][6] This wigeon has two adult molts per year and a juvenile molt in the first year, as well.[4]
The breeding male (drake) is a striking bird with a mask of green feathers around its eyes and a cream colored cap running from the crown of its head to its bill. This white patch gives the wigeon its other common name, baldpate (pate is another word for head). Their belly is also white.[7] In flight, drakes can be identified by the large white shoulder patch on each wing. These white patches flash as the birds bank and turn. In non-breeding (eclipse) plumage, the drake looks more like the female.[3]
The hens are much less conspicuous, having primarily gray and brown plumage. Both sexes have a pale blue bill with a black tip, a white belly, and gray legs and feet.[3] The wing patch behind the speculum is gray. They can be distinguished from most ducks, apart from Eurasian wigeon, by shape. However, that species has a darker head and all grey underwing. The head and neck coloring of the female is different as opposed to the Eurasian wigeon.[7] It nests on the ground, near water and under cover. It lays 6–12 creamy white eggs. Flocks will often contain American coots.[4]
The American wigeon is a noisy species, and in the field can often be identified by their distinctive calls. Drakes produce a three note whistle, while hens emit hoarse grunts and quacks.[3] The male whistle makes a wheezy whoee-whoe-whoe, whereas the female has a low growl qua-ack.
Distribution and habitat[edit]
It is common and widespread, breeding in all but the extreme north of Canada and Alaska and also in the Interior West through Idaho, Colorado, the Dakotas, and Minnesota, as well as eastern Washington and Oregon.[4][7] The conservation status of this bird is Least Concern.[1] The majority of the population breeds on wetlands in the Boreal Forest and subarctic river deltas of Canada and Alaska. Although wigeon are found in each flyway, they are most numerous in the Pacific Flyway. Key wintering areas here include the Central Valley of California and Washington's Puget Sound. Farther east, the Texas Panhandle and the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas also support large numbers of wintering wigeon.[3]
This dabbling duck is migratory and winters farther south than its breeding range, in the southern half of the United States, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and the Mid-Atlantic coastal region,[4][7] and further south into Central America and northwestern South America.[8] It is a rare but regular vagrant to western Europe.[4]
In 2009, an estimated 2.5 million breeding wigeon were tallied in the traditional survey area—a level just below the 1955–2009 average. In recent decades, wigeon numbers have declined in the prairie-parkland region of Canada and increased in the interior and west coast of Alaska. The American wigeon is often the fifth most commonly harvested duck in the United States, behind the mallard, green-winged teal, gadwall, and wood duck.[3]
The American wigeon is a bird of open wetlands, such as wet grassland or marshes with some taller vegetation, and usually feeds by dabbling for plant food or grazing, which it does very readily. While on the water, wigeon often gather with feeding coots and divers, and are known to grab pieces of vegetation brought to the surface by diving water birds. For this reason, they are sometimes called "poacher" or "robber" ducks. Wigeon also commonly feed on dry land, eating waste grain in harvested fields and grazing on pasture grasses, winter wheat, clover, and lettuce. Having a largely vegetarian diet, most wigeon migrate in the fall well before northern marshes begin to freeze.[3]
The American wigeon is highly gregarious outside of the breeding season and will form large flocks.[4]

Ah, yeah forgot he's blow through! You're right. If this was a draw through with a recirculating bypass then you would want it setup like pictured, but otherwise disregard my comment.
Ok so I talked to my brother and he said that they had a calibration issue with the MAF that it was not set to work with a blowthrough system. What they did was changed it from a blowthrough to a drawthrough which stoppped it from running rich and it actually made it run just a hair lean but overall solved the problem.
I hope you found a solution, and get it solved. One other option is to replace the intake manifold with an air/water intercooler and ad some more cooling capacity. (Like on the positive displacement blowers) Every 10 degrees of cooling is worth 5-10 HP depending on who you ask.
ok, just got back from the car and driving it around. car ran fine while driving it. once the car stopped and was idleing it started to act up again. we just shut it down. popped the hood and cooled the car down we removed the hood. once removed i drove it again boosting hard. parked it up at the shop and let it idel. if seemed fine. then i turned it off. i felt the meter and the inlet pipe ams plenum under the hood and things were not too hot. let it sit 15 min. went to touch the same stuff and it was all real hot. touched the bottom of the valve covers where the bolts are and it was burning hot!!!!!! they say the ALUMINUM block is disapating all this heat and the hood dont let it out and the meter and everything is becomming heat soaked. so this time without the hood on i started it up. it seemed to idel fine. i cant believe it. im still not sure if this is the actual problem or if just letting all the heat out is helping whatever is wrong. either way it seemed fine with no hood. i cant have a car with no hood though. im going to leave it off for now and drive it a bit to make sure this helps. so they say i have to find a one piece cowl hood with the whole back open to get more heat out then the steeda hood. i just have to make sure that is the problem first. i have an appointment with a different shop on the 5th. ill see what they think then i will decide if i want them to change things or if i should find a new hood. i just think if i get the new hood it is still not as open as having no hood so it might not help. i dont know. do you guys know if the vis cowl has the full back open? thanks for all the idea guys. ill keep you updated. any new info appreciated.
Hey man real quick question. Doe this issue only occur when at stop lights or traffic and if you shut off the engine, wait a while, then turn it back on? Are the temps increased after you turn it back on?
thats exactly what it is mogs! its is when i turn it off and leave it off for 20 min. after driving, then turn it back on. and i found out today its NOT the hood trapping heat. the hood is off the car now. i drove it home. once parked and turned off i immedately felt all the piping. i could hold my hand on the boost pipe, inlet tube and intake plenum.....all just warm. i then let the car sit in the driveway without the hood for 20 min. then i went to feel all the same piping and it was burning hot. i couldnt even touch it. i couldnt believe it!!!!!!! there is no hood holding in the heat! i turnd the car on and let it idle for an min. what do you know, the idle started to drop like always and the car started to run poorley again. i quickly pulled it into the garage and parked. i went out 5 min later and the pipes were cool. i dont get what the hell is going on.????????????????? i dont know if there is a problem witht the built aluminum engine or what. none of this makes sense to me. im calling mph now to see what tim thinks.
Let us know what Tim says. If you have the car, can you take pictures of the MAF connections.. I really want to see the MAF side of the plug to see if it only has 4 connectors... This has me really curious becuase there web site only shows 4 connectors..
Once the temperature increases, will it decrease if you drive it down the road and get some air flow through the engine? Onces Im sitting and then I take off the down road, the temps go back down. Or is your temp staying high even after you are driving it? I also have an aluminum block(Teksid)
honestly, i havent tried to drive it again after the idle goes crazy and it starts to smell rich. i dont want to hurt the car. maog do you think its the heat fron the aluminum block? there are lots of fi cars that use the aluminum block, you and i shouldnt have this problem. so you saying if you drive to go out to dinner or something, then you go to eat and let the car sit, it will heat up. once you come back out it will be scolding hot and the idel goes funny until you drive it and the temps go down?
Not really. If I drive my car, the temps stay normal. Unless I get stuck in traffic or sit at a light for a while. Once I reach the location, if I let it sit for a while the temps will go to nothing like a normal car but if I come right back out to my car after like 5 minutes or less, the temp needle is up to the middle of the gauge and I get the rough idle. If I drive my car for a while, the temps come back down. Im thinking its my low speed fans not pulling enough air through the radiator. This issue is part of the tune. You should check with your tuner on when the fans are kicking on. Im running the 03-04 Cobra Rad and I have Water Wetter in it. I also run a mixture of more water than anti-freeze.
The aluminum will dissapate heat faster, that is true. But an iron block will hold the heat in longer, and with that extra time it would be able to heat soak just as much.
ok, i just got done testing what you said mogs. i took it out drove it around got the engine to full operating temp. my engine temp gauge is always in the middle once the car heats up! is that weird. alway as long as i have owned the car. anyway, i let it sit for 15 min. felt the pipes, burning hot. started it up and didnt give it a chance to idle funny. i just took it for a drive. tried not to let it sit at the stop lights too long and tried to keep it moving air. got home and things were cooler. they were still hot just not as hot. the maf was pretty hot though.
mine can sit for 20 min. that is when it seems to be the hottest and has trouble when i turn it back on.
What cooling "mods" have you done? What thermostat are you running? I know the hood shouldnt matter but which company made yours?
i dont drinve during the winter either, but i do usually start the car up during the winter and let it get up to temp twice a week while it is stored. dont know what the heck to do this winter yet. also arent you suppose to let a blower get up in temp before you drive the car also? if thats the case, mine just starts to idel weird. i wont be able to do it. i still think something can be done here, something is still not right. others run the aluminum blocks with no problems. do you run blow or draw through?

Operators shut down Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant to repair a gasket on a pipe flange Tuesday, Aug. 14. While the exact length of the shutdown is unknown, it is expected to last at least a few days. Officials with Xcel Energy, which operates the plant, said there was never any health threat to the public or any workers at the plant.
The Monticello reactor had been operating at 10 percent power since the weekend, as workers investigated leakage to a collection point inside the plant's steel and steel-reinforced concrete containment structure. All of the leakage was contained within the containment structure. The investigation identified a gasket on a pipe flange needed repairs, and the plant was shut down to complete the work.
Patrick Thompson, communications consultant for the plant, said that while the leak was not a major problem, it did occur in a difficult-to-access area, which is why the shutdown is needed to fix the problem. Thompson also said the plant will use the shutdown to accomplish other maintenance work that needs to get done.
"While we're doing that, we have other projects [to work on] that will take three or four days," said Thompson.
Thompson added that at no point was anyone inside or outside of the plant in any kind of danger.
Whenever a generating unit is in an outage, Xcel Energy purchases electricity from the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator or other utilities or increases production at its other generating plants to ensure an adequate power supply for customers.
The plant will be restarted when repairs are completed.
Just by coincidence Xcel also had to shut down one unit at its Prairie Island nuclear power plant near Red Wing on Tuesday after a pair of diesel backup generators failed to operate. Xcel said there was no radiation leak or threat to the public.

WSG 17: Stamina
When I hear the word stamina, I think of the movie Rocky and the famous training montage. The image of Rocky (in his super cool sweatsuit!) pumping his fists on the top of the stairs sums it up for me.
Photo by scottdwelch
Of course, as a writer, I'm not pushing my body to its limits. Instead, I'm pushing my shedule, my time constraints, and my mental capacity to its limits. Sometimes I'm pushing my family's sanity too!
I haven't been shy about what a strange year this has been for me. At the beginning of July, we moved! We're remodeling--yes, it's going well, thank you!--and we're signing our kids up for new schools, new activities, and trying to make new friends. We have a lot of "new" this year, and sometimes that's a great thing. We certainly miss our "old," but so far the new has been fabulous.
With all the new, though, comes insecurity and shedule disruptions. I purposely took the last two weeks off of all writing activities to concentrate on unpacking, painting, and dealing with the moving responsibilities. Let me tell you, taking time off does not feel very good. I've been absent from blogs for the last few months, and I miss everyone. Plus, my annual goals have slipped, and one of my goals will have to be postponed until next year.
There are a lot of things I'm not proud of this year. I've had many, many bouts of emotional weakness over the last six months, but 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) assures us, "'But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" I believe it. As my outer life has changed, my inner life steadies me. That's the power of the Holy Spirit.
It's easy to get lost in our own abilities. When things are going well, we pat ourselves on the back. After all, we worked hard to get where we're at. When things slip away, we wonder what we did wrong--how can we make it right?
But these are illusions too.
We really don't have as much control over everything as we think we do.
I believe writers have control over the following:
- How often we write
- How seriously we take the craft of writing
- How many words we put on the page
- How many books we write in a year
- What types of books/stories we write
- How much marketing/promo we (even as unpublished writers) are willing to do
- If we want to self-publish or try the traditional route
- What tools we decide to use for our writing
We don't have control over these factors:
- How many people will buy our books, regardless of how they're published
- If going the traditional route, when or what agent/editor will sign us
- How well our books are received
- If a genre is hot or cold
- If our personal life twists and disrupts our equilibrium
- How well our marketing/promo efforts succeed
In order to have stamina, we have to continue working on the things in our control and not worry about the others.
I believe writers should set a weekly schedule with a clear goal at the end. We should keep up with the latest publishing news as best we can. We need to be kind to ourselves when life gets messy. We have to prioritize our writing.
Athletes get to the top of their game by sustained effort. They take few days off. They push their bodies to the limit. They have a clear goal feeding their practice.
Writers are not guaranteed a NY Times Bestseller spot if we "work hard." But by treating our writing like an elite athletic event, we gain confidence, we launch our skills higher, and we position ourselves to accept any opportunities that come our way.
With sustained effort, we build stamina. Stamina builds confidence. Confidence produces grit for the days we don't think we can do it.
Stamina keeps us from quitting when life gets rough.
How do you build stamina?
Have a fantastic Monday!

LOve that you honor the Holy Spirit. Couldn't get through life without. You are a strong woman, stronger than you know.
ReplyDeleteI think it's also important to recognize that sometimes life is going to throw curveballs at you, and you are going to have to choose to let the writing go, as you have done for a while this summer. I know I lose courage and stamina when I feel like I've failed myself by not reaching my goals, until I look back and realize that the REASON I didn't reach those goals was because, oh look, there was that friend in crisis who called every day and I used my writing time to talk to her, or Carl had to unexpectedly work overtime for three weeks in a row and I needed to be both Mummy and Daddy for a little while, or even that the weather has been perfect for berrying so everything else gets tossed aside for a day or so while we harvest!
These days, I'm all about finding the rhythm in life and accepting the beauty in the imbalances, and that is what gives me my stamina to endure.Sometimes, we don't think we're making progress, especially if we're moving slower than we'd like. But it's just like with running: we add on a tiny bit every time we run, and eventually, we're running for miles. That looked impossible at first, but it's the little work by little work that makes it possible.
Good luck with your remodeling!!This is really good stuff, Jill. Writing DOES take stamina...I have to resist the urge to roll my eyes when I tell people I write and then get a "Oh, isn't that sweet, how fun for you!" response. It IS fun but it's also a ton of hard work.
God, encouraging family members and friends, little goals met and milestones along the way...they all build up my stamina. Sometimes I reach out to a writing friend or two and actually ask for encouragement...because I know I need it.
I think the whole thing takes a certain amount of stubborn-ness too...a sort of "dig my heels in, I will keep going even if I have to rip my book apart and start over" mentality. :)Glad to see you back today! I think you nailed it and I couldn't have said it any better. We control what we can and let God's grace suffice for all the other crap that comes along.
And I agree with Tagg. Being stubborn sure does help a writer out at times!Glad to hear things are going well! I've missed seeing you around :) This is a great post! It's good for us to remember that there are certain things we can and can't control, and there's no point in wasting time going things the opposite way.
ReplyDeleteThe concept of stamina is so important. I take the summers off (sorta) from writing and when I start again in the fall I notice how much harder it is. My brain is all flabby and out of shape!
ReplyDeleteI applaud your accomplishments in spite of all of life's changes. I am able to get stamina just by getting back on the horse every time I fall off. And also, one of my favorite words is "tenacity." Now if only I would get some. Seriously, I do keep trying. That's all I can do.
ReplyDeleteWith running you build stamina slowly, but sometimes I think with writing you need to just plunge into it and try to get as much done as possible. I find when I take breaks, I lose the flow. Good luck with all the new stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy year has gone by with very few goals accomplished! Stamina for me right now is just starting again even though I feel very behind. It is knowing you can always move forward since time does not move backward!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, this is SUCH a good post and I'm so glad I hopped over to read. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to blog about something similar on Monday. I'll link here when I do!
ReplyDeleteJill, I wish I felt empowered by what you said, but I only felt guilt for NOT feeling I have control over the things you site as things we can control-
How often we write
- How seriously we take the craft of writing
Even if it makes you a crazy, flustered jerk, Jill?
- How many words we put on the page
No Comment.
- How many books we write in a year
ONLY you can write in a "Assembly Line" fashion. Some of us can't. We tried, really did, but just can't, and that's why "The next book" argument isn't always valid or relevant.
- What types of books/stories we write
If what you love can't sell, you're left to experiment in the dark.
- How much marketing/promo we (even as unpublished writers) are willing to do
No Comment.
- If we want to self-publish or try the traditional route
Unless you have the money, traditional publishing is still the only option for professional results.
- What tools we decide to use for our writing
Unless tools we need cost more than we can afford. Period.
Sorry if I read you wrong, but this has been a hard year for me, 2012 has so far been my saddest year, instead of my best year, and years 2009-2011 weren't so hot either. As much
A lot of people told me to take a break from it all, but you and others who replied here say it's not a smart idea, how can you be kinder to yourself without taking a break, and are there EVER times when you NEED a break? No matter what the consequence to your writing?
Take care,
TaureanOh, Taurean, I can feel your raw hurt, and I'm so sorry that I have added to your pain. You're right. The things I consider in my control are different than the ones you consider in your control.
You've been honest about the struggles you've had these last years, and I wish I knew what to say. Everything that comes to mind feels like an empty platitude. But I can tell you this--my heart reaches to you. I want good things for you. I don't know what the best move for you to make is (and I hope you will trust your instincts to do what feels best for you), but I want your life to be happy and filled with blessings.
Most of all, I want you to know that I care. Writing is not the most important thing in my world. My faith, my family, and my friends will always rank higher than my writing. But I love writing, and that's why I share these posts. I want to encourage others, including you.RepliesThanks. I wasn't criticizing you for what you said, and I'm truly glad you and others in your corner found your solace of what works for you, I just wish I felt the same.
You remind me of my old writers group, they would find many of your insights very key for them.
I guess this is harder for me because unlike you, or those in my old critique group (I had to leave when I could no longer keep up with the tight critique schedule, and honestly, my critiquing skills were weaker than they are now, despite doing the best I could with them)I don't have other meaningful aspects to my life outside reading and writing.
That's why it's so troubling to struggle with writing and enjoy what reading was before I started writing fiction, it's one of the few things that's (SUPPOSED) to be in my control.
My family's just distant, maybe not violent or abusive, but distant, and I just try to live with it. As much as I appreciate my online pals, it doesn't replace in-person relationships, and when you live in a city where just going to buy groceries is an "Odyssey" in adversity in and of itself, being a non-driver in a car-reliant world isn't easy, and especially when public transportation is nonexistent.
Thanks for caring, Jill. I just wish more than anything I had happier news to report.

The California Public Utilities Commission recently held a workshop with interested stakeholders regarding the successor Net Energy Metering tariff for customers of Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. The workshop was the first step in establishing the so-called successor NEM tariff, or "NEM 2.0." This tariff will apply to all NEM customers who interconnect after July 1, 2017, or when their utility reaches the statutory cap — whichever occurs first. This tariff will also apply to existing NEM customers after the expiration of the 20-year grandfathering period, which was established in the last CPUC proceeding. Participation in this new proceeding is important to ensure current and future renewable energy projects are financially viable. To ensure that public agencies have a seat at the table before the CPUC, Best Best & Krieger is forming a new coalition. Public agency clients may join the NEM Public Agency Coalition or "NEM PAC 2.0" for a flat, fixed fee.
NEM is a program that allows renewable energy customers to essentially run their electricity meters backwards, using the grid as a kind of battery and "netting" out the energy produced by their systems to the grid against the energy they consume from the grid. This program is the main economic incentive of roof-top solar and other smaller renewable projects.
Last year, the Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 327, which dramatically altered NEM in California. Specifically, the Legislature directed the CPUC to establish a revised NEM program for new customers. In addition, it directed the CPUC to establish a grandfathering period for existing customers. At the expiration of this period, existing customers will be subject to the new NEM program. AB 327 imposed tight deadlines on the CPUC for both of these actions.
The CPUC was required to establish the grandfathering period by March 31. It met this deadline and created a 20-year grandfathering period for existing customers from the interconnection of their systems. "Existing" means any current NEM customers or new customers that install before the earlier of July 1, 2017, or whenever each utility reaches its existing cap on NEM production. BB&K represented a coalition in this earlier proceeding and successfully advocated for a 20-year grandfathering period, safeguarding many renewable energy investments.
The current proceeding is the second step mandated by AB 327. The NEM 2.0 proceeding will establish the successor tariff for new customers and existing customers after the expiration of their grandfathering period. AB 327 requires the CPUC to complete this process by Dec. 31, 2015. In addition, the CPUC must take into account a number of factors when doing so, including (1) ensuring that renewable energy projects continue to grow "sustainably" and (2) permitting projects greater than one megawatt (that were previously not eligible for NEM).
The CPUC's recent workshop was the first step in the process of establishing the new successor tariff. While the exact details of the process are still being determined, the CPUC has indicated that it will look at all available options for structuring the NEM program, including eliminating the current bill credit, providing payment to customers for excess net energy and providing locational or other incentives to certain customers in areas of need. In addition, the CPUC will be creating a NEM "public tool." This tool is expected to (1) permit interested parties to calculate payback periods and rates of return on projects and (2) provide the CPUC with cost and other relevant data to evaluate different NEM proposals. The CPUC will begin this process in the next few months.
Once the public tool is available, the CPUC is expected to solicit comments from interested parties regarding how the NEM successor tariff should be structured. It is imperative that renewable energy customers with current renewable projects not protected by the grandfathering period, or those interested in investing in renewable projects in the future, participate in this proceeding. The NEM 2.0 proceeding will determine if — and how — economically beneficial renewable projects will be in the future.

Summer festival was loads of fun... at least, 'til the thunder started... |
Boy-- have I thrown out a bunch of stuff. Had no idea that much unnecessary stuff was hunkered down in my kitchen.
I must, however, ask your patience for a few more days. We're changing providers, so as of tomorrow I will be in the Inky Void Of OfflineLand... until sometime next week when we get a new router.
Goodness-- I have so much to tell you all... if I can remember everything. We've had summer festivals...
Mr. Big Turtle... but Papa put his foot down, and we were Sad |
...and quite an assortment of critters in the house...
Chuo Alps-- the Central Alps of Japan |
I have a zillion pictures--and you guys want to see all of them, right?
Teddy's Cardigan...awaiting zipper |
Delectable Matsutake... |
I'll just leave you with a Spyshopper photo I took the other day--
the Matsutake are in the stores! Note, please, that there are a whole two mushrooms, delicately arranged in that package. Care to guess how much?
Itadakima---su! Or.... maybe not. |
Since the dollar is so weak right now, a ten-dollar bill would not be enough for you to take those mushrooms home for dinner...
Sometimes I just walk through the store just shaking my head.
Ittekima--su! Be back soon! Promise!
Mata asobou, ne!
p.s.-- I forgot to put this picture in. We are living amid mountains of boxes...
...two more days...

Quick appetizers that taste good. Always on my list for the holidays, the big game, or any occasion when friends or family visit. You can make these zesty roll ups ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. Then as guests arrive, pop them in the oven for a warm welcome.
The fun folks at Pillsbury asked me to play around with their crescent rolls and come up with a yummy appetizer for the holidays.
One of my all time favorite appetizers are these Ham & Cheese Sliders. So I decided to draw some inspiration from that recipe to come up with this one. The sauce that is drizzled over the top of the sliders is fabulous. I shortened the ingredient list, however, as I really wanted this one to be fairly quick.
The poppy seeds truly add to these and the mustard butter sauce is the perfect touch. These do have a bit of a kick because of the pepper jack cheese, so if you're worried about that, you could always substitute a different flavor. Mozzarella would be a good mild substitution or Havarti is always tasty too.
I actually used a black pepper turkey on mine, which has a little kick of its own. You can use whatever your favorite turkey flavor is however, so I have simply listed "deli turkey" in the ingredients.
If you have leftovers (though not likely, but you never know!), they can be reheated in the microwave. Cook on 50% power for 10-20 seconds.
Here's how easy these are. Open up the crescent can and lay the triangles out. Add a slice of turkey and some cheese and roll them up.
Melt the butter and mix in the mustard. Brush it onto the crescents and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake and serve!
Serving Size: 1 roll up
5 minPrep Time
12 minCook Time
17 minTotal Time
- 1 can crescents
- 8 slices deli turkey
- 4-ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir mustard into the melted butter and set aside.
- Fold a slice of turkey in half and place it on the wide end of the crescent. Top turkey with about a tablespoon of shredded pepper jack cheese. Roll up the crescent and place on baking sheet. Repeat for all crescent rolls and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove crescents from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Brush with butter and mustard mixture then immediately sprinkle with poppy seeds. It's best to work in batches of 2 or 3 so the butter does not begin to harden before you can add the topping.
- Serve warm.
Disclosure: I was compensated for the time it took me to come up with this recipe, make it, photograph it, eat it :) and share it with you. Fair trade I think.

What better way to spend Cyber Monday that looking at some of the things that I am adoring online! I am sure there are a thousands of deals everywhere (of which I will not be participating in) but please remember to consider the small business owners who would love some extra shoppers this holiday season.
As usual, its all about food! Maybe its because I will be in a bathing suit in three weeks, so I am trying to be good, which means I am only all the more tempted!
Love this cheese survival kit from Formaticum (I am guessing that Loulou might like it too!) It is on the expensive side, but as I am only virtually shopping, no harm, no foul!
And speaking of cheese, I am a big fan! My favorite is goat cheese, but a close runner up is blue so this Pear and Blue Cheese ice cream from newly discovered Salt and Straw in Portland, Oregon has me enthralled. I cancelled a trip to Oregon in October, but I am going there soon, and I will try this out!

Spotted on Food Gal, this caramel mustard looks delicious! I think it would be wonderful with chicken, but I can't help to think about how good it would taste on plain vanilla ice cream!
(Photo credit: Food Gal)
Throwing in one non-food related because it is just so darn cute! I adore this Etch-a-Sketch iPhone case (they have an iPad case too!). Fun and an conversation starter!
When eating on the road you might find yourself cooking at someone else's house, eating a roadside picnic or potentially finding a really bland meal. Now you don't have to worry because you can take this mobile foodie spice kit from Flight 001 on the road with you!
How about you? What are you currently adoring? Got any Cyber Monday plans?

Problem Bank: Whiteboard Review Game - Section 2: Whiteboard Review
Verifying Trig Identities (day 2 of 2)
Lesson 7 of 16
Objective: Students will be able to verify complex trigonometric identities by using the fundamental trigonometric identities.
Big Idea: Students are given an opportunity to practice simplifying identities while also seeing how their peers approach the problem.
Since today's lesson is a continuation of the work done yesterday and in previous lessons, I chose to help students warm-up for the lesson by just reviewing homework. I like to give kids 2 minutes to compare their answers on the homework. Then I will take questions. I think it is important for students to compare their answers/solution methods to determine whether or not they have questions. I also think it is a great way for students to catch their silly mistakes and tends to encourage students to help each other out on the homework. I am a huge proponent of study teams and working together on homework. I do not see homework as a summative assessment of students' knowledge in anyway. Instead, it is part of the learning process. So I encourage them to work together and to be constantly self-assessing whether or not they would be able to do this on their own and whether or not they understand the material.

Whiteboard Review
For the middle part of today's lesson students will play the Whiteboard Review Game. This game requires every student to have their own whiteboard and their own marker. Although the game is played in teams, students are expected to do their own work. For today, I will have my students sit with the team that they will take the group quiz with later this unit.
Before the class period begins, I will have prepared a method to randomly call on students. I used to use Popsicle sticks which I wrote students name on, but this year I assigned students a number (which they use all year long) and I use a random number generator to call on students. You can find a random number generator on www.random.org that is easy to use.
To start the game I will put a problem on the board from the Problem Bank: Whiteboard Review Game. Students will simplify or verify the trigonometric identities over a given time frame. I like to set a timer and say you have x minutes to solve this one. I adjust the time based on how difficult the problem is. The game is summarized for students on page 2 of today's flipchart, Verifying Trig Identities (day 2 of 2) flipchart.
When time is up, I randomly select a student. This student will bring their whiteboard under the document camera and present their work. Their team earns 2 points for making a presentation. If they have correctly and completely simplified the identity (or verified it correctly) they earn another point. If there is a mistake in this student's work, the first student who raises their hand to point out the mistake will earn a point for their team (MP3, MP6).
Sometimes, students become too aggressive trying to point out mistakes. Because of this I typically deduct a point from a team whose members incorrectly point out a mistake. If I sense a need to draw a little more energy from students, I make the game a little more fun by allowing students to 'gamble' the points they earn. When a student is awarded points, they can gamble the points (double or nothing) by doing something fun. Here are some of my favorite gambles:
1) Throw a piece of paper into the trash can from 10 feet away.
2) Answer a trivia question.
3) Throw a piece of paper behind your back and catch it.
4) Correctly guess a coin flip.
I have learned that it is better for me to make up the Gambles, than to let students come up with their own ideas.
Resources (6)
As a closure to today's lesson, I had students write down one thing they learned today on their whiteboard. Then I had them hold it up and show me. Did I read them all? NO! Did I care what they said? Not really. I just felt it was important for students to recognize that although there was not a new learning target for today, they still probably learned something from their peer's presentations.

Well, despite all my efforts, my precautionary measures failed.
Teaching has definitely changed me. I've never thought so much about germs or the simple act of touching a door knob. I now understand why my high school chemistry teacher had a cup of pencils that she allowed students to use and a cup of pencils that were only for her use. I'm pretty sure that I've used more hand sanitizer in the past few weeks than the rest of my life combined.
Luckily, it's just a head cold instead of one of the more serious things going around. Still, I'm tired of the sniffling and coughing and sneezing. I taught Thursday and Friday with a sore throat, and I could definitely tell I wasn't at the top of my game as a result.
I had a surprise visitor in my classroom on Friday afternoon, though. A student from a local university was in the building to observe one of our science teachers. When the science teacher had to leave, the student was somehow directed to my classroom to observe. I was happy to have her, but I felt kinda unprepared. I didn't feel great. My students were coming back after not doing so well on yesterday's test. My desk was a disaster zone. It's crazy to think that I was that college student a year ago. And, now, I have college students observing me.
I want to apologize for my absence in the math blogging/twitter world of late. The first year of teaching, as I'm finding out, can be rather overwhelming. School drama and responsibilities have left me exhausted. I've learned a lot from the experiences, though, and I hope to find the time to share what I have been learning with you all,
I know this is long overdue. But, I'm jumping back into the blogging world today with a graphic organizer template I created to introduce graphing inequalities to my Algebra 2 students. Students filled this out and glued it in their interactive notebooks. I posted a picture of this last semester, but I never posted the template. Oops...
Enjoy the file!

However, a bargain is only a real one if it is of genuine use to you and costs only a fraction of its perceived value.
All too often, the so-called bargain turns out to be a load of worthless tat that no one in their right mind would want if it were not available in a sale.
Factory shops, where quality goods are permanently sold at discount prices, are useful for saving money on classic items. The centres are run by manufacturers and retailers, selling last season's stock, slow-moving items and discontinued lines, at prices far lower than those in the high street.
The first outlet, pioneered by Clarks, the shoe shop, opened in Street, Somerset, in 1993. Today, there are at least 13 similar outlets throughout the UK, from Bicester to Doncaster, Cheshire, Kendal and West Lothian.
Each outlet contains a varying range of shops, selling different selections of clothing, electrical goods, houseware and even books.
Delta, the Visa debit card, has published a free guide to factory outlets in the UK, with information on what is sold in each one and directions on how to get there. For free copies of the guide, call 0171 231 5432

Looks Like smart actions has been updated to version 220.127.116.11.0 Anyone noticed any enhancements besides the UI?? Seems there are more ways to use locations and better suggestions and samples sofar... Added Low battery saver and a Drive sample as well. Let us know what you have found..
I received a new suggestion today, will test it out since I activated it. Anytime I have a meeting on my calendar and list my status as "Busy", during the time frame of the meeting the ringer will go the silent and auto reply to text messages. It did have an option for the ringer to be turned on for VIP, but I left that off.
I've found that I now have to take additional steps to activate a Smart Action with a manual switch. It was better when you could turn on and off a Smart Action on the initial screen.
You could always use the drive widget and configure it to what you want. Then you can turn it on or off at will from a home screen. Only negative is it will take up 2x1.
Thanks for the suggestion as I wasn't aware of the Drive widget and even if I had noticed it, I don't think I would've thought about reconfiguing it to do what I wanted it to do. It saves a step. Wish it didn't take up two spots on my Home page. I had to move some to make room for it.

I've been participating in multiple live conversations on Twitter that have been very rewarding. These tweetups, or tweetchats, offer an opportunity to share information, network, and enhance advocacy for improving healthcare. But do we need to give people some caveats about sharing?
In the setting of discussions like #hcsm or #meded, where it's general conversation but not specific diseases, not necessarily. However, when it comes to attracting people with a certain health condition it may be different. Tweetchats can be very engaging, and keeping up with the conversation means it's easy for someone to accidentally share more about himself or herself than intended while caught up in the flow of conversation. Sharing health information isn't necessarily a problem but an otherwise cautious, private person may forget that Twitter is a public forum.
The other main issue is that community is a double-edged sword. It's fantastic at reducing isolation and allows people to find others with similar concerns and passions. However, it also means that it may amplify some negative aspects of healthcare experience or disease experience that otherwise wouldn't be as bothersome. Doctors may find themselves more dissatisfied from gravitating toward other frustrated clinicians online than they would if they only interacted with immediate colleagues. Cancer patients may go through more grieving and stress because they've magnified their exposure to people with a potentially life-threatening condition exponentially.
I've been involved in helping develop a new tweetchat #gyncsm for discussions around gynecologic cancer. For that chat I developed a disclaimer to share with each tweetup which is now posted by one of the founding members.
What do you think? Is this a good idea or not?

The yarn here is just beautiful. There is a lot packed into the shop, and everyone there is so helpful.
I bought a bag full of yarn which wasn't on my list either, but at least I know this yarn is for a blanket that looks like a nine patch quilt.
After all of that shopping it was time for a latte' at The Kitchen Cupboard in the Davis Mercantile building.
A pretzel at Jo-Jos is good anytime of the day....even for breakfast.
At this point in the retreat there is more shopping and eating than there is sewing...but we're having a great time. There will be plenty of time for sewing after we get finished with all of this shopping.
I hope you are all stitching today. Thanks for visiting.

What was the meaning of these presents made to these
three Roman citizens? Besides that, you gave presents also to some of the most
powerful and noble of the Sicilians, who have not, as you hoped, been the more slow
to come forward, but have only come with more dignity to give their evidence in this
trial of yours. Where did all these presents come from? from the spoils of what
enemy? gained in what victory? Of what booty or trophies do they make a part? Is it
because while you were praetor, a most beautiful fleet, the bulwark of Sicily, the defence of the province, was burnt 1 by the hands
of pirates arriving in a few light galleys? or because the territory of Syracuse was laid waste by the conflagrations
of the banditti while you were praetor? or because the forum of the Syracuse overflowed with the blood of the
captains? or because a piratical galley sailed about in the harbour of Syracuse? I can find no reason which I can
imagine for your having fallen into such madness, unless indeed your object was to
prevent men from ever forgetting the disasters of your administration.

1 This has been mentioned before, owing to the way in which Verres had disabled the fleet for his private gain, excusing towns from providing ships who were inclined to pay for the relaxation, and discharging too all the sailors who chose to buy their discharges, it was so powerless that a small squadron of pirates sailed into the harbour of Syracuse and burnt it. Afterwards, a single pirate ship was taken, the officers of which purchased their pardon of Verres, who, not daring to avow it, as the people clamoured for their execution, brought on the scaffold the captains of those Roman ships which had been burnt, and officers who he feared might hereafter bear witness against him, with their heads muffled up so that they could not be recognised, and had them executed as the pirates.

Yesterday was supposed to be Interval Tuesday. The plan was 4 X 800 with a 2 mile warm up and a 1 mile warm down. These days Track Season is in full swing at the local High School where I run, so it's futile to try to get out on the track before 4:30. I've known for a while that my running club (Cal Coast Track Club) meets at the track at 5:45 for Tuesday intervals. So, I thought since I need to run later, why not wait just a few more minutes and join the group? It had to be better than doing all those laps alone.
Well - I was right. It was nice to run with all the other folks there! Altogether there were probably 40 people there last night. Sure beats going round and round and round alone. I even left my iPod in the car.
Now for the bad news - the workout. What did I get myself into? Turns out most of the group was training for the Carlsbad 5K coming up in about a month, so this was the peak of their training cycle. I stepped into a 3X800, 1X1200 and 1X1600 workout. I made it through the first 3 800's fine. By the time I was into the 1200 I knew I was in trouble. And the 1600? Well, if I ever get into a discussion of what hell must be like.....
But - I finished the workout. Whew. Including my warm up and warm down a total of 5.7 miles. But, with intervals the real test is the amount of time spent above 90% of my maximum heart rate. When I added the time up, gulp, just under 14 minutes. Wow! No wonder I left there feeling like my butt had been kicked and drug through a field of cholla cactus. Quality workout I guess!
Today I have a 4 mile recovery run scheduled. And heaven knows I need it!

Resistance Is Futile ...
April is Car Care month--no surprise to those who suspect the war is really about securing that most central of car accessories: Iraqi crude.
It's also Suppress Dissent month, judging from the behavior of Clear Channel Entertainment, which owns 1,233 radio stations, sponsors pro-war rallies and recently pulled the Dixie Chicks from its playlists after lead singer Natalie Maines told a London crowd, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president's from Texas."
And then there's the decision of NBC and National Geographic to "sever their relationship" with veteran war correspondent Peter Arnett for saying--on Iraqi state TV no less--that the United States war plan "failed because of Iraqi resistance." Guess Arnett wasn't in bed, er, embedded enough.
Nüz suggests fighting back by not driving whenever possible, buying the Dixie Chicks' latest album Home, even if you think they suck, and tuning out U.S.-owned TV.
Which brings us to another sick joke. As the Bush administration puts U.S. tax dollars to work in Iraq, the Bush Baby is asking you to bankroll the $459 billion U.S. military budget for 2004--which, by the way, does not include the $74.7 billion he has asked the Republican-controlled Congress to OK for the war on Iraq and foreign aid to Israel, Jordan, Turkey and Egypt, as well as "anti-terrorism efforts at home."
Not amused? Local tax resisters say that with the April 15 tax deadline looming, it's still not too late to bypass the IRS.
"We are proud to publicly refuse to support the war plans of this administration run amok and instead redirect our tax dollars to our local public schools," said Betsy Fairbanks in a letter that Schools Not Bombs presented to the local IRS office on March 11.
Though the IRS seized her bank accounts twice, Fairbanks, who has been a tax resister since the 1970s, says some years she has not heard from the IRS at all. And while she has chosen not to pay any taxes some years, she usually withholds about 23 percent--the amount of the federal budget typically designated for military expenses.
Lest people worry that withholding taxes jeopardizes social services, tax resisters point out that 50 percent of the federal budget is already locked into Social Security and Medicare, whereas the military budget comprises about 50 percent of federal income tax--money that Congress spends at its discretion.
Fairbanks claims that the war on Iraq and the budget deficit in California (which is causing huge cuts for schools and social services) is triggering a new wave of tax resistance from folks like Alexander Gaguine.
"I don't look forward to messing around with the IRS, but it was still an action I needed to take," says Gaguine, who this year will withhold $1,000 and give it to public schools, instead. "I think the world has made an historic statement, an unprecedented statement, in opposition to war as a solution to problems, and I hope our action is one small part of that."
While Schools Not Bombs is coordinating a community tax-resistance movement, untold numbers of Santa Cruzans--including City Councilmember Scott Kennedy--are taking individual action.
"I don't know how anybody could voluntarily give money to this government's war department," says Kennedy, who has been a tax resister since 1971."I think everybody should find some way to resist even if it is just a token amount."
But token statements may not be enough. As former Secretary of State Alexander Haig put it in 1982, "Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes."
... Or Is It?
Lance Cpl. Stephen Eagle Funk, a 20-year-old Marine reservist, who has been AWOL since mid-February, plans (as of presstime) to file as a conscientious objector on April 1, which will make him one of the first members of the armed forces to seek a discharge on these grounds since the war began two weeks ago.
While some think conscientious objection is a throwback to the draft, the law also allows those who voluntarily join the armed forces to seek a discharge, if they have deeply held moral or ethical objections to war.
But while the Resource Center for Nonviolence says there's been an upsurge in interest since the United States began mobilizing, military officials say the procedure is little used (there were 28 cases last year) and that most Marines are more dedicated since Sept. 11, 2001.
Either way, discharges don't come easy. Applicants must submit a detailed explanation of how their feelings have changed since enlisting and must be interviewed by a military chaplain, a psychiatrist and an investigating officer, with top military brass making the final decision.
Funk, who did not report for duty when his unit received orders to deploy for war, says he's prepared to serve time in a military prison.
Meanwhile, the Santa Cruz City School Board unanimously approved a student-led initiative last week that stands up for the rights of privacy and truth in military recruitment practices targeting high school students.
Proposed by the Santa Cruz High Youth Alliance, the measure came in direct response to Bush's 2001 No Child Left Behind Act, which requires high school principals to turn over contact information for juniors and seniors to the military--unless parents opt out in writing.
By contrast, the Santa Cruz measure requires that student contact information be released to military recruiters only when parents opt in, by giving written consent to the school for such contacts.
Santa Cruz High senior Josh Sonnenfeld, who was recently profiled in these pages and is one of the main organizers of the initiative, says that Rochester, N.Y., and Maplewood, N.J., were the first cities in the country to adopt policies responding to the NCLB Act, but theirs were created by administrators.
Sonnenfeld said he was "pleasantly surprised" by the outcome of the school board's vote, and while the school district theoretically risks losing half a million dollars in federal funding for failing to go along with Bush's policy, Sonnenfeld is chilling out.
And now the Youth Alliance, along with the Youth Action Coalition, a group of students from high schools all over the Monterey Bay, is working on spreading the "privacy and truth" movement, while Sonnenfeld says he's receiving requests from peace groups in the Bay Area and on the East Coast asking how they can create similar policies

Casualty Count
To date, 1,722 people reportedly have been killed; 123 have been wounded and 3,541 are missing or have been classified as POWs in the war on Iraq, according to the U.S. Military, the Red Cross and Iraqi reports.
And Takoma, the mine-sweeping bottle-nosed dolphin is MIA. The good news?
Takoma's trainer thinks "he may have met a local female."

Field assessment of oxytetracycline exposure to the freshwater macrophytes Egeria densa Planch. and Ceratophyllum demersum L
Hanson, M.L. and Knapp, C.W. and Graham, D.W. (2006) Field assessment of oxytetracycline exposure to the freshwater macrophytes Egeria densa Planch. and Ceratophyllum demersum L. Environmental Pollution, 141 (3). pp. 434-442. ISSN 0269-7491
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
In a microcosm study, two aquatic macrophytes, Egeria densa and Ceratophyllum demersum were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0, 5, 20, 50, and 250 mu g/L oxytetracycline (n = 3), plus 20 mu g/L oxytetracycline amended with additional nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Responses were monitored bi-weekly over a six-week exposure period. Both plant species exhibited a significant decline in growth in the 250 mu g/L oxytetracycline and the N- and P-amended units. Decreased light penetration resulting from accumulating oxytetracycline by-products appears to be the primary modifier in the growth of these plants. Increased Susceptibility to oxytetracycline exposure was noted in some paired plantings (e.g., E. densa root development), relative to individual plants in these treatments, however, no clear explanation for this response is available. Based on the toxicity data generated in this study, we estimate that current concentrations of oxytetracycline in freshwater environments do not pose a direct risk to E. densa and C. demersum.

Take the anxiety out of waiting for exam or test results
Waiting for results whether academic exam results or medical test results can cause huge anxiety. The powerful desire to know the outcome is magnified by the impossibility of knowing. And people often say that not knowing is the worst thing.
We humans dislike uncertainly. We like things to be clear, wrapped up with certainty and completed.
Not knowing the outcome of results that are important to your future can be hard to handle. Yet leaning to deeply relax with the uncertainties of life is such a hugely life enhancing skill.
The mischievous imagination
When we don't know something our imagination tries to fill in the gap. For example if we hear a loud noise outside late at night, instead of waiting to find out what it is, our imagination kicks in and we to try to fill the information gap before we actually know anything. This is the opposite to relaxing with events until you have something real to deal with.
The trouble is what we imagine may be wide of the mark and actually scare us. When we feel emotional because of what we imagine we tend to blindly believe our emotions. So we might imagine the sound in the street is a gun going off yet later discover it was a car back firing.
Waiting for Test Results will help you get better at relaxing with uncertainly and stop you prematurely filling the information gap with imagination and anxieties. When you stop scaring yourself about test results then life becomes so much more comfortable again. Download Waiting for Test Results now and relax with the uncertainty.

Production information | |
Manufacturer | Blackwell Industries Stormvanger Assemblies, Light Division |
Production Year | 3057[1] |
Model | FLC-4P |
Class | Light |
Cost | 2,307,890 C-bills |
Technical specifications | |
Mass | 30 tons |
Chassis | Duralyte 296 |
Armor | StarGuard II |
Engine | GM 180 |
Speed | 97.2 km/h |
Jump Jets | PRS-60 |
Armament | |
Originally developed as an anti-infantry and Bug Hunter 'Mech, the Falcon is a highly popular light recon and skirmisher 'Mech. [3]
Initially created for the newly formed Star League Defense Force's use in the Reunification War, the popular design remained in production until the destruction of Stormvanger's Hesperus II Falcon line by a House Marik raid in 2789, becoming all but extinct until the arrival of Wolf's Dragoons in 3005. [3] Well regarded by the mercenaries, the Dragoons upgraded their dwindling number of Falcons in the early 3050s before eventually commissioning Blackwell Industries to restart production of the design in early 3060 to produce advanced Clan-tech versions for their exclusive use, as well as more mundane and affordable versions for the general mercenary market.[2]
While originally sporting a weapons array similar to the Locust, Stinger and Wasp it was charged to defeat, the Falcon's six tons of StarGuard Type II armor provided it with vastly superior protection, allowing it outlast them and remain combat effective longer. When it was originally developed, the 'Mech's top speed of 97.2 kph and a jumping distance of one hundred and fifty meters allowed it to keep up with other light recon 'Mechs. But by the 3060s the Falcon was outclassed by newer and faster designs, only its use of a cheaper standard Fusion Engine rather than a more expensive and fragile Light or XL Engine kept buyers interested. [3] [2]
Originally developed as a field upgrade before becoming Blackwell's standard production model, the 4P Falcon carries a light arsenal that is primarily based around energy weapons. While the two Omnicron 1000 Small Lasers were retained, the original standard Medium Laser was swapped for a short-ranged but highly accurate Magna 400P Medium Pulse Laser. Finally, for protection from missiles, the rear-facing machine guns were dropped for a forward facing Sure Fire 444 Anti-Missile System and a single ton of ammunition. [2]
- FLC-4N - The original Falcon, the 4N model has a lighter arsenal more akin to 'Mechs 10 tons lighter. The primary weapon is a SunGlow Type 1 Medium Laser with two Omnicron 1000 Small Lasers as secondary weapons. To deter infantry attacks, the 'Mech carries two rear mounted Reginald Mark V Machine Guns with a shared single ton of ammo. [3] BV (1.0) = 523[4], BV (2.0) = 610[5]
- FLC-4Nb - Built for the Royal SLDF Divisions at the captured Roe Weapon Systems plant on Apollo during the Amaris Civil War, the so-called Royal Falcon carried an experimental Parti-Kill Snub-Nose PPC backed up by two medium lasers. It was also equipped with double heat-sinks, and was built on a Duralyte 300 Endo-Steel chassis. All known examples and design specs were taken with the Exodus Fleet. BV (2.0) = 947[6]
- FLC-4Nb-PP - Used by various Pentagon World factions during the Exodus Civil War, the PP variant replaced the advanced snub-nose particle cannon of the Royal Falcon with a standard PPC. The increased weight, however, required the removal of the medium laser mounted in the right arm. BV (2.0) = 881 [7]
- FLC-4Nb-PP2 - Another Exodus Civil War era modification of the Royal Falcon, the PP2 replaced the snub-nose PPC with an ER Large Laser. The saved weight allowed the left arm laser to be upgraded with pulse technology. BV (2.0) = 947[8]
- FLC-5P - A 3065 upgrade of the 4P, the 5P drops a ton of armor to add a MASC system that kicks the Falcon's speed up to 129 km/h in bursts. The Small Lasers are upgraded to ER Medium Lasers and a Targeting Computer guides all three medium-class lasers. To make all of this possible, a Light Fusion Engine is included and the anti-missile system was removed. [2] BV (2.0) = 945[9]
- FLC-6C - This variant was used exclusively by Wolf's Dragoons as it features Clan-tech. It simply upgrades the armament of the 4P to Clan standards, including an ER Large Laser that replaced the pulse laser. Each arm carries an ER Small Laser, and a Targeting Computer aids in the accuracy of all three lasers. The ammunition bin of the anti-missile system was also upgraded to the Clan version, which carries twice as many rounds. [2] BV (2.0) = 1,290[10]
Custom Variants
- FLC-4Nb Saho - Personally modified in the field by a MechWarrior from Clan Goliath Scorpion, the Falcon Saho replaced the right arm weapons of the Royal Falcon with a large pulse laser salvaged from a Royal Wyvern. BV (2.0) = 774[11]
- FLC-4P - Stormvanger Assemblies, Light Division - Caph [12]

I´m back from my blog break with this Swedish house. It is actually designed by its owner. Pretty impressive, as he´s not an architect. Maybe we could do the same? We are planning to build our own house just outside Oslo, and I´m searching the net for inspiration. Because of our new project, this blog might turn into more of a house-AND-cabin-blog...

Beautiful house, and it has convinced me once again that we will have to go for plain wood window frames in our house! ;-))) Do you have any idea where those simple ceiling lamps come from? They are really nice.
I have a similar backwall in my kitchen. It's not a window, but a stainless steal pannel you can buy in IKEA; very nifty and practical. We use it to cover an old doorframe that we will re-utilise in the next stage of our renovation.

A methodology for design coordination in a distributed computing environment
Coates, G. and Duffy, A.H.B. and Whitfield, R.I. and Hills, W. (1999) A methodology for design coordination in a distributed computing environment. In: Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED'99), 1999-08-24 - 1999-08-26.

At the conceptual stage of the design process it is increasingly common that analysis tools are involved in the evaluation of a large number of alternative designs. Designers use such analysis tools to assist with large scale concept evaluations and the prediction of good initial designs. Consequently there exists a need to coordinate these analysis tools to enable the early stage of design to be performed in a timely and efficient manner. This paper describes a generic methodology that allows the management and coordination of design analysis tools. A Computer Aided Design tool, namely the Design Coordination System (DCS), has been developed to assist the designer in performing computational analysis in a distributed computing environment. Within the DCS, a collection of design agents act as members of a multi-functional team operating in a cooperative and coordinated manner in order to satisfy the objective of efficiently performing the design analysis.

From D.C. to UST: Sindelar Joins International Studies
Bringing a wealth of real-world expertise, the University of St. Thomas Center for International Studies welcomes H. Richard Sindelar III as a new assistant professor. Sindelar's courses will focus on American foreign policy, international security, international law and global trade.
"My class and seminar in Middle East issues will keep me deeply involved in a fascinating region of the world and one with major U.S. foreign policy implications," Sindelar said.
Sindelar received his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center and served more than 22 years as a diplomatic officer with the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service. His overseas posts from 1974-1995 included Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Montreal, Mexico, Cairo and Cuba, as well as a peacekeeping tour at the Sinai Field Mission.
In Washington, he served three tours analyzing Middle East political and economic events in the Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. In his last tour from 1991-1994, he was the deputy director of Middle East/South Asia analysis. He also served two Washington tours in the Bureau of Consular Affairs Office for Legislation, Regulations and Advisory Assistance. He dealt with immigration matters and served as division chief for the Coordination Division, which was responsible for the national visa security check system.
During a sabbatical year at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C., Sindelar co-edited the book "Crosscurrents in the Gulf." As an editor on the staff of the Georgetown Law Journal, he wrote the "Right to Counsel" segment of the Journal's
1983 Criminal Procedure Project
Sindelar is a member of the bars in Washington D.C. and Texas.
Sindelar who previously served as an adjunct professor at St. Thomas, will begin teaching full time this fall.
"As a Houstonian since childhood, and a Strake Jesuit graduate, I've long been familiar with UST and its focus on faith and character," Sindelar said. "In many ways, this new position brings me full circle in my career. I have wanted to teach since I was in university. Entering the profession at this stage of my life is a bonus which lets me share a wealth of experience and practical advice with my students. "
Before joining St. Thomas, Sindelar was a partner at Jackson Walker LLP, representing and advising a variety of multinational corporate clients, including energy and oil industry companies, information technology companies, investment enterprises, the shipping industry, and sports clients.
