The Columbia tumbles 1,200 miles from the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon.
The Columbia is best known for its part in Lewis and Clark's 1805 expedition westward, for the gold rush of the 1860s, and for being such a formidable obstacle for pioneers on the Oregon Trail.
The heroic Rhine is the longest river in Germany, but it actually originates in Switzerland and flows through cities like Basel.
Castles line the banks of the Rhine.
The 220-mile-long Thames could probably claim to be the river that's had the most powerful impact on the world: The British Empire was explored and claimed by ships that sailed from it.
Back in the 1700s, London was the world's busiest port as commodities were shipped up the Thames from all over the British Empire.
The Romans used the Danube as the northern boundary of their empire, building settlements such as Vienna.
From its source in Germany's Black Forest, the Danube flows to the Black Sea via Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria.
The longest river in South America, the Amazon winds its way through six countries, three time zones, and an incredible 4,980 miles.
The 300-feet-deep Amazon contains approximately one-fifth of the planet's running water, plus an incredible abundance and diversity of flora and fauna.
The Volga is Russia's principal waterway and has been a crucial trade route since the Bulgars and the Khazars settled along it in the Middle Ages.
Known as "Mother Volga" in Russia, the river has carried Russian colonization to the east, transported freight, and watered the vast steppes.
The Mekong runs through 3,000 miles of Chinese, Burmese, Lao, Thai, Cambodian, and Vietnamese rice paddies, fish farms, and orchards.
The Mekong Delta has been the site of countless battles—during the Vietnam War, the Indochina War, and the fight against the Khmer Rouge.
Situated in present-day Colombia and Venezuela, the Orinoco Delta covers more than 340,000 square miles and branches off into literally hundreds of off-shoot rivers and waterways.
The Orinoco is home to more than 1,000 species of birds, plus a huge variety of fish, from gargantuan 200-pound catfish to carnivorous piranhas.
Hindus consider the Ganges a goddess, and the banks are home to pilgrimage sites, funeral ghats, yoga ashrams, and holy cities such as Varanasi.
The 1,557-mile Ganges gushes from a Himalayan ice cave, coursing eastward through the heart of Northern India to the Bay of Bengal.
The Mississippi is mighty: It boasts the second-largest watershed in the world, covering more than 1.2 million square miles.
The banks of the Mississippi have been home to humans for 5,000 years and have witnessed history in the making, from Civil War battles to Civil Rights milestones.
The Egyptians became the wonder of the ancient world by controlling the waters of the Nile and building the Valley of the Kings, the Ptolemaic Temple, and the Pyramids of Giza on its banks.
Egypt sits amid the Sahara, but the 4,225-mile-long Nile turned this area into an oasis.
The Yangtze is Asia's longest river and flows south from the Tibetan Plateau to the South China Sea.
The Yangtze has seen human activity along its banks for millennia and has acted as a transportation and commercial thoroughfare for centuries.

Here is the raw
And here is the rough Translation (Credit Aohige)
Spoiler!From what I can gather:
Coverstory: Scotch continues holds up the old woman, but a marine battleship arrives.
Zoro and Franky are united at the Flower Garden, where a whole bunch of dwarfs are kept against their will.
They seem to know about the Straw Hats (and if my reading of Chinese is correct, considers them heroes), and when Zoro and Franky introduces them as one, they looked shocked and in awe.
Zoro watches Luffy & Chinjao's fight on the TV, cheering on. I think he may be talking about how he wished he hadn't lost his sword, he looks frustrated that he's not there fighting lol
Meanwhile, on Usopp/Robin side, as the dwarven army deploys, they enlist help of two Bug Bug fruit user dwarfs.
One is a bee woman, and other, a Rhino Bettle man. The chapter likely ends with the dwarves charing out.
EDIT: The Beetle man is likely Kabu, since Rhino Beetles are called "Kabuto mushi" in Japanese.
Besides, he looks like him lol
EDIT2: Nami thought her Clima-Tact has been turned into toy but Jora corrected it that can turn things into toy is another family member.
EDIT3: Just saw it.
Luffy is attacking Chinjao, while Barto/Caven/Burgess watch the fight.
Luffy unleashes the Gomu Gomu attack on the last page, on Chinjao.

The Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is the Cisco Systems product identification standard for hardware products. Cisco strives to provide you with the ability to more effectively integrate and manage evolving Cisco products in your network and business operations. A product identification standard removes barriers to enterprise automation and can help you reduce operating expenses.
The UDI provides a consistent electronic, physical, and associated business-to-business information product identification standard:
Table 1. The UDI is a combination of five data elements:
|UDI Data Element
|Electronic Visibility
|Physical Visibility
|Product ID, also known as product name, model name, product number
|Version ID
|Serial number, the unique instance of the PID
|Entity name
|Type, such as "chassis," "slot," or "power supply"
|Product description
|Additional product information, such as "1- port Gigabit Ethernet"
The combination of serial number and product ID (PID) is unique across all Cisco products.
The PID that is coded on hardware is called a base PID. Additional orderable PIDs may be associated to a base PID. For instance, an orderable PID may describe a packaging configuration for a product or a bundled group of products sold, tested, and shipped together. The base PID is consistent whether the product is purchased directly or through a distributor.
Version Visibility
Cisco continuously improves products through feature additions and bug fixes. Notable product changes are indicated by incrementing the version ID (VID), which provides version visibility to help you understand and manage product changes. VID management is automated in engineering and manufacturing tools and processes, ensuring consistency of changes from product to product. VID changes will be visible on product change notices (PCN) beginning in early 2006.
Operating Expense Reduction
One barrier to operating expense reduction is lack of accurate and detailed network inventory information. UDI removes this barrier by identifying each Cisco product in a network element through a standard interface. Cisco operating systems and third-party network management systems can view and use this data, allowing you to automate your electronic inventory to reduce operating costs. Automating asset management supports reduced total cost of ownership.
Specific UDI benefits include the following:
- Identifies individual Cisco products in your networks
- Identifies PIDs and SNs for service and replaceable products
- Identifies VIDs for product version visibility
- Facilitates discovery of products subject to recall or upgrade
- Enhances inventory automation of Cisco products
Consistent Across Product Layers
The diagram below illustrates UDI consistency. UDI is designed into hardware products and then instrumented and labeled at the factory. It cannot later be overwritten in error. Operating and management systems discover the UDI through standard interfaces and display the UDI in standard outputs. Standard interfaces include the IETF standard entity-MIB, making UDI accessible in third-party management systems.
Evolutionary Infrastructure
Cisco's technology strategy has three pillars:
- higher performance (faster)
- intelligent services (smarter)
- evolutionary infrastructure (lasting)
These three goals compel us to build integrated features that are consistent across product lines. UDI delivers a lasting product feature designed to help you protect your technology investments.
Next Steps
Contact your Account Team for further information. For software support information, use the Cisco Feature Navigator tool to identify software support for UDI.

Dear Peggy: I was wondering why a food label that says "no sugar added" shows some grams of sugars in the Nutrition Facts? —S.J., Franklin, Wisconsin
Many foods—fruits, vegetables, milk, cereals, grains and legumes—have naturally occurring sugars. "Sugars" in the Nutrition Facts label include both naturally occurring and added sugars. Also, remember that there's no daily value (% DV) listed for sugars because there is no daily recommendation.

"Your Cash Reward"
I got a message from PSN that I have a cash reward for being one of the most active in October. However after I click on the reward and it tries to take me to the store it tells me the password is invalid. The reward doesn't expire until December 9th, 2012
Anyways I can still collect my reward or am I screwed?
Re: "Your Cash Reward"[ Edited ]
Correction the error message is "the code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid."
Odd for it to be invalid and it doesn't expire until the 9th.

I got a Sen Team message for being the most active member in March. However they sent me the message on march 13 and they said that the cash reward expires on march 12 Can u please resend the email because I spent like 100 dollars on Fifa Points
Re: "Your Cash Reward"[ Edited ]
Soooo.... I bought a $50 card in March, spent 49.99 the same day, and now its April 13th and I haven't heard a single thing from you people. Am I to assume i won't be getting any chashback because you dont acknowledge me buying the $50, only actually spending it on PSN? FYI next time you do one of these, make something buyable on PSN for cheap, I wish I could spend a cent on something to get some sweet cashbacks.
Edit: Locked thread due to running its course. Feel free to search for newly updated information regarding this topic. Thanks!

Racial Critiques of Mass Incarceration: Beyond the New Jim Crow
James Forman, Jr. Jr.
Yale University - Law School
November 29, 2011
NYU Law Review, April 2012
Yale Law School, Public Law Working Paper No. 243
In the last decade, a number of scholars have called the American criminal justice system a new form of Jim Crow. These writers have effectively drawn attention to the injustices created by a facially race-neutral system that severely ostracizes offenders and stigmatizes young, poor black men as criminals. This Article argues that despite these important contributions, the Jim Crow analogy leads to a distorted view of mass incarceration. The analogy presents an incomplete account of mass incarceration's historical origins, fails to consider black attitudes toward crime and punishment, ignores violent crimes while focusing almost exclusively on drug crimes, obscures class distinctions within the African American community, and overlooks the effects of mass incarceration on other racial groups. Finally, the Jim Crow analogy diminishes our collective memory of the Old Jim Crow's particular harms.

"I like these boots ok, I'm not "in love" with them but for the price I paid I'll keep and wear them from time to time. I wasn't impressed with the material these boots were made out of. I ordered these in brown, but the color was a little lighter than what I expected from viewing these on line, the color on line looks alot richer, but since these were on sale I'll keep them, I got what I paid for."

Viola was born in Castle Dale to Madge Larsen and was raised by her grandparents, Erastus S. and Emma Elizabeth Petersen Larsen. Viola graduated from Central High in Castle Dale where she was on the drill team and basketball team.
She met and married Paul E. Palmer in Huntington June 1, 1940, later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple in 1957.
They lived in Hiawatha and then moved (house and all) to Huntington where they raised their family. She loved working with her hands, sewing and gardening, keeping her husband and children in line and spending time with her family at home in the mountains. She had a special love of doing family history. As an active member of the LDS Church she served in numerous callings.
Viola is survived by five children and their spouses: Karren and Orsen Justice of Huntington, Phillip and Suzanne Palmer of Price, Tamara and Molie Tupai of West Jordan, Larry and Joy Lynn Palmer of Henderson, Nev., and David and Shella Palmer of Huntington. 25 grandchildren, 69 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild in the oven. Also survived by one brother Vaughn Larsen and two sisters, Lois Madsen and Stella Reed and one special half-brother George Rodenheizer. Preceded in death by her husband, son Bobbie Edwin, two brothers and three sisters.
Funeral services were held Sat. Jan. 8, 2005 at 11 a.m. at 11 a.m. in the Huntington Stake Center. Friends called Friday evening at Fausett Mortuary in Castle Dale and one hour prior to services at the church. Burial was in the Huntington City Cemetery.
Thank you for being such a wonderful mom and grandma. You will be forever in our hearts and minds.
KENILWORTH-Don Swenson, age 83, lifetime resident of Kenilworth was reunited with his wife on Jan. 9, 2005 after a short period of time. He was born Nov. 26, 1921 in Ferron to Alfred and Catherine Taylor Swenson. Married Pearl Parry Nov. 26, 1945 in Price; she died Dec. 18, 2003.
Don worked in the coal mines in Carbon and Emery counties where he retired in 1983. He was a member of the U.M.W.A. He was known to his co-workers as "Skitter." Don enjoyed fishing, hunting, and camping. He loved his little dog Annaka who was by his side all the time.
Survived by two daughters, Vickie Olsen and Dixie Blackham, both of Helper; special granddaughter, Crystal Swenson, Kenilworth; six grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Martin (Una) Swenson, Carbonville; Jack (Cora) Swenson, Spanish Fork. Preceded in death by his wife Pearl; parents; four brothers; and two sisters.
We love you dad and grandpa. We will miss you.
Funeral service will be Fri. Jan. 14, 2005 at 11 a.m. at Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will be at Mitchell's Thursday evening from 5-6 p.m. and Friday one hour prior to the service. Interment, Scofield City Cemetery.
PRICE-Ron Parkin, age 61 passed away Dec. 5, 2004 in Price. Ron was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was born June 24, 1943 in Salt Lake City to Lawrence and Klela Parkin. He married Marlene Pappas March 1, 1969 in Las Vegas, Nev. and is survived by his children and grandchildren.
Ron was an active Clamper that enjoyed contributing to others that were in need and he will continue to be a member even though his physical presence is not there, everyone will think of him. He loved everyone that was affiliated with the Clamper Hall located in Helper. It is a great thing to have the power to help others in need and he will never be forgotten. He also loved riding horses, hunting, fishing at Moon Lake, and the outdoors in general.
Ron made a life long career in safety and mining. There was never a day that he was not at work, in 20 years, Ron never used a sick day or put time aside for holidays. He loved all the miners in Utah and every miner in general. The definition of a coal miner to him was "A dedicated individual that puts his or her life and the lives of others in one another's hands to provide for their families." A miner is a very special individual that does not shy away from hard labor in fact there is not a more physically demanding job than a miner's occupation. These men and women gut it out to make a better life for themselves and their families.
There are special bonds between miners and their families that are strengthened and develop into internal families and they share the same love and companionship as the people they love the most. Working underground in a mine or on the surface of a mine requires special skills that are developed and passed on from generation to generation and he understood all that. That is why he accepted phone calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays funerals, blessings, or family activities to try and help his extended families, "The Miners of the United States of America."
He had an enormous responsibility, his duties required several different areas of expertise, training, and advanced degrees. Ron was the last State Mine Inspector. His responsibilities included coal mining, strip mining, gilsonite mining, gold mining, cement and crusher plants, load outs, hoisting, engineers, environmental disasters, mining disasters, representative for the Utah Labor Commission and Testing and Certification Official for the State of Utah. He was an electrician, husband, father, grandfather and friend. He lived to see the mining industry prosper and if there ever was a man or woman that lost their jobs, friends or enemies, he grieved with them and that is what a family does and that was what he lived for.
Ron is survived by his wife Marlene, his brother Kent, his four children, Shane, Robert, David, Diane and his grandson Carson.
(Mom) "You are up with the angels now; it has been a long journey that we have shared together through thick and thin. You gave me four wonderful children whom we are very proud of. You are pain free now, and you will be with us always. You were known by millions whom you loved and they loved you."
The entire family wanted to thank everyone; family, friends, co-workers, mining associates, Clampers, all the special doctors, nurses, hospital staff at Castleview Hospital, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and Mitchell's Funeral Home.
Ron's wishes were not to have a funeral, he wanted everyone to remember him before he became ill and we will respect his wishes, however, arrangements or contacts can be made at 435-472-3896 or by this address located in Spring Glen: 2094 West 4630 North, Helper, UT 84526.

This looks fun; I have your book now but haven't had a chance to get to the aforementioned recipes. I am on my way out the door now to buy ingredients! Thanks again, I appreciate the nutritious recipes you provide to all of us.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the idea Ali, my kids love the cherry pudding so I am sure this will be a winner as well. Like the red white and blue theme you have going here.ReplyDelete
How many mini "juice glasses" does this recipe make? I am just wondering if I should double it for all of the kiddos we will have around here tomorrow. Thanks!
We just made the Cherry Apple Pudding the other day and my kids actually ate it. Baby steps, baby steps....they are just beginning to like curry. I use half the curry powder you call for and it seems to have been working. The yellow dal is now a staple, yippeeee!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Tiff ;-)
L - Enjoy! I need to make a trip to the store today too as my girls finished off all of these treats today! :)ReplyDelete
yogamama - The recipe made 8 small glasses. Doubling it would probably be a good idea, enjoy! :)
Tiff - I am so happy to hear you guys are having success with introducing new foods to your family's diet! Glad to hear they liked the pudding, this recipe is very similar so should also be a hit. Thanks for your comment! :)
-Ali :)
This looks great and so festive too! I like your idea of maintaining traditions - yet making them healthy treats! I will have to make these this summer for all of the grandkids! Yummm.......ReplyDelete
This looks like a hit for kids of all ages...I bet it would look impressive on a dessert table. I have made fruit pudding before but never thought of layering it this way. Does the kudzu work in a similar fashion to cornstarch?ReplyDelete
Happy 4th!
How funny! I posted a similar recipe on Wednesday! I think your filling is thicker than mine though. It sounds delish. We must be on the same wavelength :-) Love, KellyReplyDelete
Deb - thanks, these would make a treat on just about any hot summer day! :)ReplyDelete
Amy - Yes kudzu does work much like cornstarch, but not exactly. Arrowroot is a better replacement for cornstarch. I love kudzu because of its healing properties. It thickens liquid more so than does cornstarch so there is not a 1:1 replacement.
Kelly - I just checked your blog - looks great! I like the idea of soaking the cashews and then adding coconut oil - looks rich and delicious! :)
-Ali :)
Does the kudzu change the texture? The layers look so lovely! Great blog.ReplyDelete
Lauren - The kudzu thickens the juice to create a smooth/soft jell-o like pudding when chilled - it is very yummy. :)ReplyDelete
I also should have mentioned in the recipe above that I use an organic 100% berry juice - "Santa Cruz organic Berry Nectar" :)ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! You should submit those pics to tastespotting.com right now.ReplyDelete
You did have me going at the Jello salad at first though ... even I don't do Jello salads. LOL
- Jennifer L.July 7, 2009 at 1:42 PM
I made these for the Fourth of July for everyone and they were a hit! These are so good! Yummy! My husband had to finish the pudding stirring part while I was doing something else. He poured the pudding into each glass as I had asked and then he put the whisk and the pan in the sink and filled it with water to soak (!). He clearly doesn't share my favorite parts of cooking (licking the pans and spatulas!). There was still enough to enjoy, but I had to wait a bit longer than I had hoped!ReplyDelete
Shirley - Thanks, I will check out the Taste Spotting site.ReplyDelete
Jennifer - I need to lick the pots too, can't let any of that good stuff go to waste! Oh well, glad you enjoyed them when you did. :)
- Staci NarducciJuly 23, 2010 at 10:03 AM
Could you make this without the cashews? I have an allergy to cashews and It's so sad because I LOOOVE them and I'm sure a dessert cream sauce made from them is DELICIOUS. Do you have any suggestions as to what I could substitute them with???????ReplyDelete
Join the Conversation!
I'd love to hear your feedback with my recipes. If you make any changes or substitutions then please share what you did so others can learn.
If you have a question about a recipe, please leave it here. I will do my best to answer it when I have time.

Ensuring Safe Schools Since 2000
The Secure Our Schools (SOS) Program, in existence since 2000 as a response to the 1999 Columbine tragedy, awards grants that enable schools to purchase equipment, enhance school safety programs, and hire and train security personnel. The COPS office works closely with communities where law enforcement agencies have partnered with school districts to help decide where the funding would be most beneficial. Ranging from the purchase of metal detectors, locks, and lighting to safety training programs for students, the program receives about $15 million in funding annually. To date, the program has helped schools in 908 jurisdictions in all 50 states.
A community receiving a grant from the federal government is required to match that amount from its own funds. The SOS program provides 50 percent of a community's overall goal, but if the community needs more help it can apply for up to 100 percent funding from the COPS Office. Details about Fiscal Year 2008 funding and eligibility will become available later this spring. For information, visit www.cops.usdoj.gov or call the COPS Office Response Center at 800.421.6770.

This picture above is actor/former cute guy Leonardo DiCaprio dressed like J. Edgar Hoover from the upcoming biopic J. Edgar. What, you couldn't tell how amazingly well he embodies the former head of FBI? He's totally method right now! Look at that vest! And that starched shirt! Why, if I didn't know any better, I would think that the controversial government figure had been reincarnated right in front of me. Well, either him or Howard Hughes, who Leo portrayed by dressing in a very similar outfit and doing his hair in completely the same way (until Hughes went crazy and grew dreads, that is).
See, there are some actors – like Christian Bale, Daniel Day Lewis, or even Johnny Depp- who can transform their entire look to disappear into a character. Not good ole' Leo. Instead the former Romeo throws on a fedora, lights a cigarette, and tries out a terrible accent before calling it a day on the set. Don't believe us? Check out our gallery below and try to tell us that Leo's not playing the same role…or at least using the same wardrobe designer.

they would drop into the surrounding area and have some terminators teleport in
That still doesn't explain how there going to take the control room, considering Halos defenses, and the Force Marines guarding it.
All before someone pushes a button.
I think you missed the part where he said *Terminators* would *teleport* in...
vader would just crush them in a force grip... with his mind!!!
Well, when people are considering the Halo universe, they're only thinking the game/novel timeline--the Forerunners were incredibly advanced, and considering Mk VI MJOLNIR armor was only a MK II on the Forerunner scale, I think Mark 12+ Powered suits probably defeat Space Marines, if they are 6 times as powerful as MJOLNIR. They also had Dreadnaughts, Sentinels, and a lot of tech what was probably pretty much more advanced than eight SW or WH.
Plus, the Precursors were advanced enough to leave our Galaxy. That means serious advances.
Were talking marines here. the Forerunners are gone. I think a 9 foot tall man in powerarmor with lightning fast reflexes could shoot a guys arm off before he managed to push said button
Forerunners are gone. But they left their technology.

Very cute shoes!
"These shoes are adorable and the perfect pop of color for fall. The only complaint I have is that they caused a blister to form on my heel. I would recommend wearing them with footies or pantyhose until they are fully broken in."

Autumn Brook
Photograph by Olegas Kurasovas, My Shot
The banks of a rushing brook are littered with colorful leaves in a spectacular scene of the fall season. Shortening days signal the coming of cold weather to broadleaf trees. Unable to protect their leaves from the chill they shed them after extracting the foliage's essential nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous.
Before leaves fall in autumn they treat peepers to riotous color displays—but most of them don't "change" color. Natural pigments called carotenoids, which produce yellow, brown, and orange hues, are always present in leaves. During the growing (and photosynthesis) season they are masked by green chlorophyll.
Flatiron Football Sunset
Photograph by Alex Benison, Your Shot
As the University of Colorado Buffaloes do battle on the football field, the real spectacle is taking place outside the stadium. The setting sun lights up the evening sky with an incredible palette of autumn color before it drops behind the Flatirons in the Front Range of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
Equinox Flowers
Photograph by Danuta Lacka, My Shot
In Japan the colorful blooming of Lycoris flowers peaks around the period of the autumn equinox, so the plant is named equinox flower or Higanbana. The equinox is a Buddhist holiday in Japan, and the flowers are commonly seen in cemeteries to honor ancestors who have made the transition from this Earthly world. Rice farmers employ the plants for a more practical use—their poisonous bulbs are meant to keep mice and other pests out of crops.
Cooperstown Bridge
Photograph by Robert Madden, National Geographic
The placid waters and colorful foliage of Cooperstown, New York, frame a bucolic fall retreat. This scene may appear timeless, but a number of ever-changing environmental variables like temperatures and soil moisture ensure that no two autumns are exactly alike when it comes to Mother Nature's color palette.
Rooftop Leaf
Photograph by Kalle Mustonen, My Shot
A single red maple leaf rests on a Finnish roof. The recipe for red leaves appears to be a stretch of warm, sunny days punctuated by cool (but above freezing) nights. This most popular of leaf colors is also the most variable. Unlike yellow or orange colors, always present but often invisible in leaves, red-colored anthocyanin pigments are produced during the fall season itself. Scientists aren't sure why, but suspect the process is meant to protect leaves just a bit longer by serving as antifreeze, insect repellent, or sunscreen.
Natagiri Pass Path
Photograph by Michael S. Yamashita, National Geographic
Brilliant autumn sunshine and an inviting carpet of colorful leaves entice walkers ever-upward along a path on Japan's Natagiri Pass. Those taking this trail follow in the footsteps of the great poet Matsuo Basho, who traveled it in 1689. Readers of his backcountry journal, Narrow Road to a Far Province, have sought the path ever since.
Maine River Gorge
Photograph by Sam Abell, National Geographic
The West Branch of the Pleasant River in Maine tumbles through a rocky gorge lined with trees sporting evergreen needles and cloaked in fall color. Here at remote Gulf Hagas, the river tumbles down a series of waterfalls to drop more than 400 feet (122 meters) over four miles (6.5 kilometers).
Floating Leaves and Needles
Photograph by Sam Abell, National Geographic
A colorful collection of leaves and needles floats on the surface of the West Branch of the Pleasant River at Gulf Hagas, Maine. This remote gorge, Maine's "Grand Canyon," is deep within the 100-Mile Wilderness and accessible to hikers on the Appalachian Trail. Because of its obvious attractions, fall is among the most popular times to hike in New England.
Fall in Paradise Valley
Photograph by Annie Griffiths, National Geographic
The Yellowstone River flows past banks aglow with golden fall color as it makes its way through Montana's Paradise Valley. The area is known for world-class fly fishing, but also rewards those who simply wish to soak in the scenery. Emigrant Peak, part of the Absaroka mountain range, provides a towering backdrop to an iconic scene of autumn in the American West.
Hagi Garden
Photograph by Sam Abell, National Geographic
A pond of colorful koi mirrors the fall foliage of a delightful private garden in Hagi, on Japan's Honshu Island. Japanese cherish the season of Kouyou, or "changing colors," just as much as their better-known spring cherry blossom festivals. The country's most colorful trees include the Japanese maple, the ginkgo, and, of course, the cherry.
Finnish Maple Leaves
Photograph by Kalle Mustonen, My Shot
A pile of fallen maple leaves catches a few rays of extra color from a sunset in Finland. Days grow short quickly during the Finnish fall, but fading light and frosty weather combine to create a spectacular foliage display during the months of September and October.
White Mountains and Colorful Canopy
Photograph by Michael S. Yamashita, National Geographic
New Hampshire's White Mountains live up to their name as a beautiful white snowfall on the high peaks contrasts with a colorful canopy of fall leaves below. The dusting presents a reminder that in this season of plentiful harvests and striking beauty, the chill of winter is not far behind.

Functional & Just the Right Size
"I have a black COACH bag that I hate because it's heavy even when it's empty. I've been on a mission for a replacement black bag for at least six months but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I saw this bag online and thought I'd give it chance because I liked the style even though it's not leather. So far I've been satisfied with this purchase. I like the separate compartments and it is quite light on my shoulder. My only complaint is that it looks kind of cheap because it's not leather. There are a lot of other handbags out there that aren't leather but look like they are and this one could have been perfect had they used a material more leather-like. The white option may be a little easier to pass off as leather. I saw them both in the store afterwards and I may not have bought it had I seen it in person first. Bottom line, I'm not reverting back to my COACH bag anytime soon lol."

|In response to Re: Lint filter between washer and septic
: I've just built my first and last house. I want to do everything to maintain the septic system that was installed(Infiltrator). I've heard that lint in the washing machines discharge hose is not a good thing to send out to your drain fields. Is there a fiter system that I can install on this discharge hose to limit the amount of lint in the water? I am familier with lint socks and screens, however, my hose runs behind the washer and into a drain pipe in the wall. Both are not a convienient option for me. Is ther a filter canister of sorts that I can install on the line with a replaceable filter?

Looks good, but the font used does not really fit the rest of the signature, and you should get rid of the " || " in the names. You could try giving the text some effects as well (simple ones like shadows, brigthness, etc are enough).
Why did you choose those three pictures, though? There are tons of good pictures out there featuring the big three.

Red Jet Begin Regular Rockhampton Flights12/12/2002
Virgin Blue Offers More Bucking For Less Bucks
Virgin Blue begins daily flights between Rockhampton and Brisbane with the first passenger service touching down at Rockhampton airport at 2.40pm today.
It follows hot on the hooves of Virgin Group Chairman Richard Branson's recent visit to the city when he announced the low fare airline would introduce its great fares and exceptional service to Central Queensland.
In typical Virgin Blue launch flight tradition, the crew will adopt a destination-based theme for the inaugural service, based around Rockhampton's famous rodeos.
Among the activities for the first day, a lively in-flight auction to raise money for the Farmhand Drought Appeal, on board T-shirt giveaway, a special launch day champagne service and a welcome BBQ on arrival in Rockhampton.
As part of launch celebrations, the low fare airline is also offering a special sale fare of $79** between Rockhampton and Brisbane for travel from 26 December until 28 February 2003.
The new route demonstrates Virgin Blue's commitment to regional Australia and is the result of ongoing demand for a low fare flying alternative to and from Rockhampton.
Virgin Blue spokesperson David Huttner said, "We are excited to be continuing our foray into more of our home state regions, bringing Virgin's famous low fares and award winning service on the largest aircraft flying in to Central Queensland."
He continued, "By offering low fares, Virgin Blue believes it can expand the market and allow people to fly who otherwise would have had to load their family into the car for a seven hour trek or simply stayed at home. That's great for the people of Rocky and for the entire Capricorn Coast Tourism industry."
Virgin Blue will operate its 737 aircraft on the Rockhampton-Brisbane route with one daily flight scheduled initially.
The people of Rockhampton will also be able to take advantage of great fares to head further south, with convenient connections to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
"Virgin Blue has always been about low fares and creating growth and has proven its growth stimulus model works in many other regional markets across the country. We look forward to the same great support from all sectors, including the business and tourism community of Rockhampton, that we've had from other Queensland destinations", finished David Huttner.
Every day low fares start from $94* one-way on the net with a Fully Flexible fare of $249* one-way on the net, 35% cheaper than Qantas's fully flexible fare of $387.30 one-way.

Jim Corsi and His Statistic
Jonathan Willis
March 25 2009 12:42PM
Jim Corsi, who spent his entire NHL career with the Edmonton Oilers, is a rather interesting guy. He took an unusual road to the NHL, through Canadian university hockey. He spent three years with the Canadian Olympic soccer team during that time as well, before leaving soccer to focus solely on hockey.
Corsi played two seasons with the Quebec Nordiques before the World Hockey Association folded at the end of 1978-79. The next year, Corsi went 8-14-3 with a 3.65 GAA for the 1979-80 Edmonton Oilers, a team that featured 18-year olds Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky, along with a 20-year old Kevin Lowe. They lost in the first round that season, although Corsi had already moved on, being dealt to Minnesota for future considerations. He spent the next decade in Italy and represented them at the world championships eight different times.
Corsi holds a graduate degree in engineering, and speaks four different languages. He's been the goaltending coach for the Buffalo Sabres since the 1997-98 season, and during his tenure the Sabres have been a reliable producer of NHL goaltenders (Ryan Miller, Martin Biron, Mika Noronen).
Keith Loria of NHL.com interviewed several NHL goalie coaches, including Corsi, for a January 29th piece, and he talked a little bit about pregame preparation and also what he does with the Sabres' minor-league goaltenders:
On the road, you give your goalie an understanding of the surroundings, how the boards work, how the glass works, video and stats of the opposing players. I have to coordinate with the coaching staff and give a general idea on how the opposition prepares itself in the offensive side of the game and power plays."
"One of my duties is to work with our Portland team and we have various technical ways of following our goaltenders and draft picks playing in college. We'll look at videos and watch tape. We stay in contact with them as best we can. It's not always easy because you can see how the player is playing in a game but you don't always know the emotional part, so you try to be hands on with all of them."
I thought there were some interesting points in those quotes. Jim Corsi is best known for the statistic that bears his name, the Corsi number; and as a result he's frequently mislabeled as someone who only uses numbers in his work. Such a label is obviously wrong: the statistics don't tell you how pucks bounce off the glass or the boards. He also talks about the difficulties of managing players spread out across the country, saying that it's difficult to coach when "you don't always know the emotional part".
Yet, from his quote we can also get an idea of the technical difficulties of following just the goaltenders already drafted by an organization. There are hundreds of players in the NHL, thousands more playing in Europe, the AHL and the ECHL. Then there are the players in various junior leagues around North America, and going the college route; even with a large scouting staff, it is difficult to keep tabs on everyone. The Sabres have resorted to doing the vast majority of their scouting via video, a decision that may end up making some sense – is it better to see a player a few times live or many times on video?
This is one of the real advantages of statistics over watching a player live: sample size. The short-hand for this is what I call the Brian Boucher effect. Boucher is an NHL journeyman; he's currently the backup goaltender for the San Jose Sharks. He's had some ups and downs in his career, occasionally taking over the starting job and sometimes getting stashed in the minors.
On December 31, 2003, Boucher posted a shutout over the Los Angeles Kings. He posted another in his next game against the Dallas Stars. Over the next week, the Coyotes would beat the Carolina Hurricanes, Washington Capitals, and Minnesota Wild, with Boucher posting shutouts in all five games.
Now imagine, for a moment, that Boucher were a little used junior goaltender, and the scout watching him caught just that five game segment. Without statistical context, what assumption would likely be made?
That is the first difficulty. The second lies in trying to gauge all 18 skaters playing in a single game. It's a difficulty that Gare Joyce ran into when he tagged along with Columbus scouts for his book Future Greats and Heartbreaks. Joyce attempted to do scouting reports on all of the players, and found his notes a confused and nearly useless mess. A long-time scout advised him to focus on just one player for an entire shift, following him exclusively, because that's how he isolated players for his reports. Joyce did so, with superior results.
I've used that technique myself. I'm hardly a scout; I imagine that there are so many things picked up over the course of a lifetime in the game that a fan like me doesn't start to comprehend. Still, by choosing one player and following him, you can get an excellent idea of his quality. On the other hand, such focus comes at a price; you miss much of what else is happening on the ice.
The combination of these two problems is where statistics become useful. Of course, they're limited by some of the same problems: let's say Player X spends 90% of his ice-time with offensive stars, and 10% with the rest of the team. In the 10% segment, his line scores 3 goals and allows 3. In the 90% segment, he puts up very good numbers playing with good players. But is he a good player, or is he being carried by his line-mates? It's very difficult to tell, based on the numbers.
This is where the Corsi number comes in handy. It's not a common statistic, so I'll give a brief explanation. The NHL tracks shots on net, missed shots and blocked shots. The Corsi number is the total of all shots at net (incl. misses and blocks) for and against while a player is on the ice. To make it more accurate, this is often measured only at even-strength. Because the vast majority of shots come from the offensive zone, this statistic is a fairly good measure of who is spending a lot of time in the offensive zone, and who is getting stuck in the defensive zone.
Suddenly, that 10% segment is much bigger. Instead of 3 goals for and 3 goals against, we can expand it to 21 shots for, and 40 shots against. If we toss in missed shots and blocked shots, we could be looking at a Corsi of +60/-100, which tells us that our Player X was likely spending too much time in the wrong end of the rink. Over the course of an entire season, a first-line player is on ice for about 2000 shot attempts in one direction or the other, and even a fourth-line player generally sees around 500. Thus, this statistic gives us a big-picture view of which direction the play is going when any given player is on the ice.
This isn't to advocate turning control of a hockey team over to a shot-counting computer (although it probably wouldn't do any worse than Doug MacLean or Mike Milbury). Jim Corsi, who created the statistic, talks about the importance of the emotional state of a player, and different visual variables like how pucks react along the boards of a given arena, and the same holds true for scouting. As one example, the numbers tell us that Ales Kotalik is an elite powerplay performer; but only by watching the games or video do we realize that he's scoring goals by playing the left point. How a player gets his points is certainly a major consideration when acquiring him, and it's only one of the things that the statistics don't show well.
On the other hand, what the statistics do show is overall effectiveness. They don't do a good job of show the process, but they do an excellent job of showing the results. Sticking to the Kotalik example, by using various advanced statistics we know that at even-strength he's been playing a third or fourth line role for years (and starting in the offensive zone more often than not), and that he really hasn't produced much offensively relative to his ice-time 5-on-5. This is something that Oilers' management either didn't pick up on or chose to ignore; they put Kotalik on the top line despite a proven track record of not being a difference maker 5-on-5, and the results were predictable.
The other thing statistics do is catch stuff that has been missed, much in the way video does. Don Cherry was coaching when Roger Neilson started the push towards video, and he said something to the effect that he saw the game well enough from behind the bench and didn't need to review tape. Now, every team in the league does - because coaches are human, and have human limitations. The scope of the game is too broad to catch everything in one go. As one quick example – is the Strudwick pairing deployed more frequently in the offensive or defensive zone? Without the numbers, I'd say defensive; Strudwick doesn't put up points and has a solid reputation as a tough, physical, stay-at-home guy. In point of fact, no defenseman on the team is deployed more in the offensive zone (relative to ice-time) than Jason Strudwick – and that's an important thing to know when evaluating his performance this season.
In short, statistics are a useful tool for talent evaluation; they don't predict the future, but they show where and how a player has been used, and what his results have been in different circumstances – against different players, with different players, in different zones, with lots of icetime, with little icetime. They do it for the entire league, providing a broad picture for every player to spend significant time in the NHL. They can tell you who to watch and what to watch for; if a player is putting up negative results, video can be examined for the reason. They aren't meant to replace visual observation; they're meant to augment it, focus it and refine it.
As a final point, statistical analysis is frequently mocked by journalists and other fans as something that bloggers came up with and use because they don't have access to the team, or as something that nobody who ever played the game would use. In reality, statistics have been developed by experienced NHL personnel, and are used at that level. We're just trying to catch up to the things done by people like Jim Corsi, Ron Wilson, Roger Neilson, and the like – observing and copying a trend, not starting one.

@ Jason Gregor:
On that particular play it's unlikely that he would have much of an impact; it as, after all a 5-skater game, which makes it more difficult to separate players from each other statistically.
Fortunately for us, most defensemen have a good rotation fo forwards - sticking with Strudwick, he's spent the most time with Brodziak, but it's still less than 200 minutes. So there's three guys around 100 minutes w/ Strudwick, and three guys with around 180-190 minutes, and the rest fall in the middle. When you consider the opposition each line faces it's a pretty fair curve.
A) I'm under the (possibly incorrect) assumption that people have been working with these stats for a significant amount of time and there isn't improvement to be made at the center without acknowledging the outliers.
B) Curves generally only mean something for random, repeatable experiments. You can argue that the curve is used in psychology and whatnot, but we're not trying to get into average player's head here, are we? We're trying to compare players from across the league objectively.
C) I haven't seen anyone ensuring things work at the centre. I've seen people using the data they have to make conclusions without testing the centre, while ignoring or avoiding the margins. Again, I could just be missing something here.
D) If things can be skewed to the extent that we're talking about "luck" (or variance if you prefer) on "small" spaces (~20 games), and these small spaces a 1/4 of the season, how can we rationally say we're talking reasonably about the center or the outliers?
Oh, and most sciences cut off the fringes not because of reasonability to predict, but rather artifacts of data collection. If something falls 99 out of 100 times, it's likely that 100th time you conducted the experiment wrongly. We can see this isn't the case in hockey.

NHL teams certainly have, but I have trouble finding anything published more than about five years ago. Desjardins site only runs back to 2005-06.
We're looking at an emerging field of study here, not an established one.

Nonsense - curves are used everywhere. Demographics, for example makes extensive use of curves. Political science has done tremendous work with the rather unstable prediction of population segments - and voting intention subdivided by ethnicity, gender, age, income, education, etc. is a far more complex system than a hockey game.
C) I haven't seen anyone ensuring things work at the centre. I've seen people using the data they have to make conclusions without testing the centre, while ignoring or avoiding the margins. Again, I could just be missing something here.
There hasn't exactly been a bunch of peer-reviewed studies, but folks like Iain Fyffe and Alan Ryder have done a lot of testing on different statistics - most of it's heavy math stuff, so I usually just get at the edges. Another thing worth checking out is Yahoo's Hockey Analysis Group, which has a lot of background information on statistical research.
As for other testing, read through the archives at Irreverent Oilers Fans; there's plenty of evidence.
D) If things can be skewed to the extent that we're talking about "luck" (or variance if you prefer) on "small" spaces (~20 games), and these small spaces a 1/4 of the season, how can we rationally say we're talking reasonably about the center or the outliers?
I was thinking more fifteen games, but let's use 20 as an example. That's 1/4 of a season for one NHL team, meaning that there are 120 such segments taking place in any given season in the NHL. Even if 10 of them fall outside your curve's estimation, you're still having a 92% correlation between Corsi/PDO and results. So statistically, missing one 20-game sample really isn't evidence that your theory is flawed.
Besides, what's the alternative? Look at how Montreal started the year this season, or Ottawa the season before - what answers do the non-stats guys offer (hint: Emery is a cancer... uhh...). Whereas looking at it via Corsi it's plain that they were posting results beyond what their outshooting data would support. The non-stats guys (as far as I've seen, anyway, please point out anything I've missed that you're aware of in the instances) seem to accept that first 20 or 30 game segment as their genuine talent level, and assume that the much larger remainder of the season is a result of a disruption in the room or whatever when it's much more easily explained as an artificial hot-streak and not much else.

Just the fact that you said that is more than I've heard from anybody else Jonathan. Problem is, from how most guys use these stats, you'd swear it's accepted doctrine.
Re: A: Emerging field of study or not, a lot of things have popped up on the outlier list already. This implies that there is something fundamentally flawed with the way that either people are using the stat method, or the stat method itself.
Re: B: The curves you list are of very specific things, and none of them are anywhere near as general as the Corsi. Also, we've been through this before, and I can state with extreme confidence that not only is hockey much more complicated than the things that you're listing, but it falls into a level of chaos theory complexity. A hockey game is less predictable than subatomic particles in an atom.
Re: C:
Re: D:
It all depends on what your theory is purported to be. Any first-year stats course will teach you than correlation is not the same as causation, though it's treated as such here and elsewhere. Also, anybody in math or science seeing less than a 99.5% agreement between data and real life will tell you that your experiment or stat method aren't specific enough to say anything with any certainty.
The alternative is to try to make things better rather than wasting time and energy complaining that people don't understand or believe in the stats. Rationally, I and every single person who doesn't buy into what's currently being done is entirely logically justified in thinking so. It isn't a matter of who's right and who's wrong. It's a matter of if you believe in it so much, hone it and make it as perfect as it can be.
It seems like every few months you come out and ask why people don't believe in the stats or "people did it before us" or "science people use them." That's fine. However, I and others keep bringing up a lot of logically and mathematically sound reasons why, and they're ignored because they don't fit into the existing model. Then the question gets ranted again.
Newton "discovered" gravity and wrote some mathematical laws that seemed to govern it. Years later, people found reasons why it didn't work all of the time, and explained it away with luminiferous ether (sound is transmitted by air, light is transmitted by luminiferous ether). Someone who wanted to prove the LE was there in fact proved that it wasn't. Lorentz built some math constructs as a fudge factor to make Newtonian gravity exist in the real world. Einstein then explained the Lorentz transformations in real-world terms in Special Relativity, expounding on it in General Relativity.
The stats guys aren't to the point of Newton's initial leap, and don't seem interested in getting there. They're ignoring the outliers that need Lorentz transformations, and not explaining things in real life.
And you're content with this? Really?
Whereas looking at it via Corsi it's plain that they were posting results beyond what their outshooting data would support.
IIRC Edmonton nearly always posts data beyond what their outshooting data would support. Even in the 80s. I'm pretty sure Bruce even looked it up at one point.
But I'm out (for real). Radio silence for the rest of the day. I might post this evening, but it looks like a busy night as well.

As a starting point, absolutely.
You use Newton's Theory of Gravity as an example - but the mathematical laws that he used aren't even accurate; General Relativity disagrees with gravity in places and observation (one example being the Pioneer probes, another being the deflection of light) has shown that our understanding of gravity isn't totally accurate, either.
It's interesting to me that you talk about needing the equivalent of Lorentz transformations - but those didn't come until 200 years after Newton first proposed the theory of gravity.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting you, but you seem to be saying: 'look, you have a small amount of variance and until you explain it the theory doesn't hold water.' But if Newton had waited to publish his findings until that small amount of variance was explained it wouldn't even have happened in his century. It is enough to start with that there is a high correlation (and that correlation being unequal to causation argument only holds water if there's reason to believe that they are unrelated - and here there isn't) and then work to refine from there. Doesn't that just make sense?

Maybe I'm misinterpreting you, but you seem to be saying: 'look, you have a small amount of variance and until you explain it the theory doesn't hold water.' But if Newton had waited to publish his findings until that small amount of variance was explained it wouldn't even have happened in his century. It is enough to start with that there is a high correlation (and that correlation being unequal to causation argument only holds water if there's reason to believe that they are unrelated - and here there isn't) and then work to refine from there. Doesn't that just make sense?
You're right, you're misinterpreting me ;)
The issues that made Newtonian gravity inaccurate were not visible until he was dead anyway. Einstein brought new data to the 99-100% of the time point with Special Relativity, and pushed the purely theoretical General Relativity as well. New gravity probes are sending data that conflict. Ok, all that means is that someone needs to work to bring the theory up to 99-100% agreement with the data again. The theory must match the data or you have little to stand on.
What I'm saying is if you can't get at least 99% success, you need to narrow your scope. If you want to keep your scope where it is, you need to do more work to get that number up to 99%. If you don't want to do either of these things, stop bringing up the "Stats matter. Really!" subject, because you really don't have a leg to stand on.
Then again, when you have a dead horse, just:
Really now, I'm out.

I'm so lost..
Where is the game day thread for us simple folk?
Ender - Really well put.
Jonathan - Thanks for not responding in the usual stats guy condescending tone. You points were at least well considered.

Excellent read JW! I have been overseas and behind. The following quote was interesting
They aren't meant to replace visual observation; they're meant to augment it, focus it and refine it.
Id agree with this except for Dustin Penner. Each time I watch him he's frustrating but the numbers keep telling me he is doing well. So in essence the numbers are replacing my opinion of him.
Anyways if you read this, Id be curious to hear your thoughts.
