From psychology to labor rights, from ethics to education, Childhood Studies is one of the most active fields in academia today. It encompasses the meanings that adults place on children's innocence or competence, and interrogates the notion of childhood as a social category. How adults have thought about children and the impact that this has had on the ways children are treated are also analyzed critically and great emphasis is placed on historical, cultural and literary interpretations of childhood. Contemporary Childhood Studies is also characterized by its insistence on the need for children themselves to be understood as the best informants of their own lives. Childhood Studies is international and cross-cultural in scope, transcending narrow geographical confines and analyzing modern and historical childhoods both locally and globally.

While only one patent model for a protractor survives in the Smithsonian collections—from an inventor with a colorful personal history—several of the other objects also provide examples of technical innovation. For instance, some are manufactured versions of patented inventions. Others were named for the person with whom they were associated, even if that engineer or craftsman laid no claim to designing that protractor.

Arm Protractor and Goniometer Invented by Samuel L. Penfield
- Description
- It may seem obvious that surveyors, navigators, and mathematics students would need to measure angles. These practitioners are not the only audiences for protractors, however, since angle measurement is necessary in a variety of other fields. Geologists examine the faces and edges of crystals and recreate the crystals' structures by drawing stereographic projections. In 1900, Samuel Lewis Penfield (1856–1906), a geology professor at Yale University who earned his Ph.B. from Yale in 1877, patented two forms of "contact-goniometer." (A goniometer measures plane angles.) These instruments, along with a stereographic protractor and beam compasses that Penfield patented in 1901, helped establish the technique of stereographic projections in crystallography. Penfield aimed to simplify the work involved in the technique and to produce an inexpensive instrument.
- This semicircular paper protractor appears to be an example of the contact-goniometer awarded patent number 655,004 on July 31, 1900. It is printed on a white rectangular card. It is divided by half-angles and marked by tens in both directions (counterclockwise and clockwise) from 0° to 180°. A ruler, divided to millimeters and marked by ones from 0 cm to 14 cm, is printed along the top edge of the card. A diagonal scale and scales for dividing the inch into 10, 12, and 16 parts appear in the interior of the protractor. A celluloid arm is attached at the vertex of the protractor. Users were to set angles according to a horizontal line on the arm but then draw angles along the edge of the arm.
- The lower left corner of the card reads: ARM PROTRACTOR AND GONIOMETER (/) Designed by S. L. Penfield. A mark at the lower right corner of the scales of equal parts affirms that the protractor is: ENGINE DIVIDED. The protractor is contained in a paper envelope, which also holds a sheet of instructions written by Penfield. The envelope is imprinted: ARM PROTRACTOR AND GONIOMETER. It is also stamped: Cenco 88210.
- The Mineralogical Laboratory of Yale's Sheffield Scientific School offered early versions of this instrument. Central Scientific Company of Chicago (abbreviated Cenco) sold the Penfield arm protractor and goniometer in this form from as early as 1909 (as item 427) to as late as 1950 (as item 88210). In 1914, the instrument cost 67 cents. William C. Marshall (of Bridgeport Works and formerly at the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale) listed it as a required tool in Elementary Machine Drawing and Design (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1912), 8. Edward Salisbury Dana discussed Penfield's instrument in more detail in A Textbook of Mineralogy, With an Extended Treatise on Crystallography and Physical Mineralogy, 3rd ed. rev. William E. Ford (New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1922), 33–40.

The Ferris Collection of Prints
The Museum's Graphic Arts Collection, the oldest print-collecting unit in the Smithsonian, focuses on the technical and social history of printmaking to document how prints are made and used. Smithsonian art museums collect works on paper selected for aesthetic reasons, but the National Museum of American History (formerly the Museum of History and Technology) takes a broad view of visual culture.
Our prints illustrate technical developments and cultural changes. They represent all kinds of graphic works that have influenced American society. The collection has always included examples from many periods and countries, fine-art prints as well as popular and commercial graphic art, together with the plates, blocks, and tools used to produce prints. In 1996 the Museum presented an exhibition on 150 years of Smithsonian print collecting, Building a National Collection.
One of the largest print collections ever received by the Smithsonian was donated by the Ferris family between 1927 and 1932. Stephen James Ferris (1835–1915), a Philadelphia painter and etcher, collected over 2,000 European and American prints, both reproductive and original, representing old master and contemporary printmakers. The collection incorporated a variety of artistic subjects, compositions, and styles. Ferris may well have mined it for inspiration for his own work, but he was also deeply interested in art for its own sake. He and his family and friends would have simply enjoyed studying the images.

Adam and Eve
- Description
- In 1853 John Sartain engraved his large (44 x 32 cm) print after Marcantonio Raimondi's Adam Receiving the Forbidden Fruit from Eve, which had been designed by Raphael. Sartain made more than 1,000 prints, most of which reproduced a work by another artist.
- Goupil & Company, the American branch of a Paris based firm, published this print. The company issued a large number of reproductive prints and later photographs of paintings and sculpture, either purchased or commissioned by the firm. The American branch opened in 1846 and, in addition to selling reproductive prints, also exhibited original works of art.

Saint Receiving Monk's Habit
- Description
- Abbé Jean-Claude-Richard de Saint-Non made this aquatint from a drawing by Jean Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806) of an altarpiece by Guercino in the church of San Gregorio in Bologna, Italy. While visiting Rome, Saint-Non invited Fragonard, then at the French Academy in Rome, to accompany him on a tour of northern Italy to visit sites of historic and artistic interest. Fragonard made more than 300 sketches, some of which Saint-Non used as a basis for prints that were issued in Paris between 1770 and 1774.
- Saint-Non, a wealthy amateur etcher assisted by Jean-Baptiste Delafosse, a professional printmaker, invented a successful aquatint process in 1765. In this process, the artist dusts rosin powder onto a copper plate, which is heated to adhere the rosin. The plate is then etched in acid to create a rough surface that captures the ink to provide tonal areas in the print.
- The painting by Guercino (1591–1666) shows Saint William dressed in armor putting on a monk's habit before Saint Benedict of Aniane. Saint William, formerly the Duke of Aquitaine, had fought bravely against Moorish invaders in Spain and France, but in 806 he retired from the world to become a monk in the monastery he had founded.

► A Great Moisturizer For Normal to Slightly Dry Skin with Good Water-Binding Agents
Posted by 3827GreenWood on Dec 14, 2013
Yes, this moisturizer by Alba Botanica is oil-free. However, it contains some thickening agents that may be problematic for oily or blemish-prone skin. This moisturizer has merit as a great moisturizer for normal to slightly dry skin and it contains some good water-binding agents. Considering the relatively significant antioxidant content, I wish it can come in a tube/pump dispenser instead of a jar packaging. Our skin deserves only the best ingredients, and the practice of organic farming is a positive step toward creating products that reduce negative environmental impact. Overall, this moisturizer isn't the most advanced around, but comparatively speaking, it bests many others with a natural angle. Taking everything into account, it's something I would recommend. I am a strong advocate on scientific medical research and evidence-based information, and constantly want to differentiate between marketing hyperbole and real world effects. I hope you'll find my review Helpful to you. Best wishes and good health to everyone!
not the best thing i've ever tried
Posted by Reviewer2943409 on Dec 10, 2009
I have oily skin, acne, and seborrheic dermatitis. My face doesn't get crazy shiny as it does when I use other moisturizers, but I expected this to be much gentler on my skin. As said, I suffer from SD of the face and I have to use very gentle products so that I don't aggravate it. I chose this product because I thought that the aloe would soothe the SD and the green tea would calm the redness, but this product actually makes my SD worse. I've even applied it on days where my SD looked completely in remission only to have a red face again minutes after application. I'd recommend it to people with oily skin, as it does make my skin really soft without making it feel greasy, but not to anyone else with SD. For what it's worth, it wasn't a total waste, as I've found it makes a great moisturizer for my hands.
Excellent product

Soothing for irritated skin (rosacea). Skin feels fantastic.
Amazing cream!
Posted by Olya-IHERB on Apr 22, 2013
This cream is perfect! We use it all the female part of the family)))) I (24 years old) as a moisturizing base under make-up, my sister (17 years old) as a mattifying cream, my mother (49 years old) as a moisturizing night cream. Cream visibly evens skin tone, absorbs quickly and is very pleasant smell. Этот крем прекрасен! Мы используем его всей женской частью семьи)))) Я (24 лет) как увлажняющую основу под макияж, моя сестра (17 лет) как матирующий крем, моя мама (49 лет ) как увлажняющий ночной крем. Крем заметно выравнивает тон кожи, быстро впитывается и очень приятно пахнет.
Love it!!

I've loved this cream since the first day I tried it!! Very moisturizing without feeling greasy or breaking me out! I have combination skin and it works wonders for me, smells amazing too!
love it

good for summer!
very dissatisfied
Posted by Reviewer2344195 on Mar 16, 2010
I had to discontinue use of this product. It has caused breakouts which have led to blemishes. I haven't had breakouts like these since high school. Fragrance & other ingredients are apparently too harsh.
Excellent for teenage boys and near 50-year old women
Posted by Reviewer2926708 on Sep 05, 2010
My son and I both use this moisturizer for different reasons. Originally, I bought it for him because he is having trouble with acne and it doesn't clog his pores. He is a skier and it especially helps when his face gets exposed to cold air and is dry. Since it was in the house, I decided to give it a try myself. It feels really nice going on, and doesn't leave my face feeling "sticky" as some other moisturizers do. I don't wear make-up so I really hate to feel like there's something on my face. This is the best face moisturizer we have found for my family!
Love it!
Posted by shenaan on Jul 11, 2013
I've been using it for two weeks only, but definitely fell in love with the product. It makes my skin so soft that I simply can't stop touching it! And, what's important, the effect holds till the end of the day. It has light texture and also very light and pleasant smell. The only minus is that it leaves my face a bit shiny, but it can be dealt with. Great moisturizer for summer time. I'd definitely buy it again.

Greetings all... this is my first post I'v got an almost 8 month old who has always had difficulties staying asleep for long naps. He does need them; I think???? All the books say so, and he will nap for an hour plus in an Ergo or with me lying next to him or on my lap. It can take him 2 minutes to 25 minutes to fall asleep... usually on the lesser side. But I'm exhausted trying to get him to nap longer. He's pretty darn happy when he's awake, and very distractible. I'v spent these entire 8 months dedicated to getting him longer naps to get his night time sleep longer, but I'm not sure it's helping. I'm tired of being on nap duty and wonder if ge just can't nap longer since he doesn't know how to fall asleep on his own. ANY suggestions would be great!!!! And I'v read lots... No CRY Sleep solution, DR.Sears Sleep book, Baby sleep site booklet, etc. I'm willing and tired at this point.
No announcement yet.
HELP- are short naps really so bad????
new posts
Sleeping issues
This is my first post also and I am no expert, infact all I can say is that I have twin girls and they nap less than an hour at time if they are not touching myself or dad. I have decided to go with the flow and am on nap duty everyday and just enjoy my time with them. That said there are a milloin things I could get done if I could let them nap on their own but I am letting them lead the way. I would love to give an answer but don't have one except I think babies know what they need and just inherently do it. If he needs more sleep he will and if he wants you with him I think it is what it is. I believe that kids will ultimately always grow up and away from us as it is supposed to be over time so this too shall pass if that helps at all. He won't be 21 on your lap LOL so know it won't be like this forever and this sweet cuddle time is short lived. I try to sleep when my babis sleep so we all cuddle together and nap... May as well rest also or browse the web on my phone! Karole
My little one is 7.5 months and will only nap if I nurse her to sleep and lie next to her. She will nap for 30 minutes and then wake up. If I let her nurse again she will sometimes fall back to sleep. Our longest naps are 2 hours but they are rare and are really 2-4 short naps joined together. Some naps she stays attached to me and other naps she falls off and goes into a deep sleep. Even then, she senses it if I try to leave and wakes up within a few minutes!
Some days she doesn't nap at all. She is a non-stop ball of energy, but obviously gets tired. Today she is playing, stops to rub her eyes, complains, and then keeps going. I've tried nursing, white noise, calm room, etc and she still can't calm herself down enough to fall asleep. She keeps pushing away from me and crawling off. It's frustrating because I know she's tired but I can't convince her to choose sleep!! When I hear of moms who get 2-3 hours of time to themselves each day I try to not let it bother me. My job right now is to be the best mom I can be. I will get time to myself soon enough, and this stage will seem so short in hindsight.
All this to say I don't have any advice!Last edited by Joanna; 11-10-2012, 02:03 PM.

Lee KRASNER
Lenore Krassner was born on 27 October 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. She studied at the Women's Art School of Cooper Union, New York, from 1926 to 1928, taking in a summer session in 1928 at the Art Students League, and continued her studies at the National Academy of Design from 1929 to 1932. In 1935 she was employed on the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration,[1] and it was during this time that she dropped the second 's' from her family name and began to use the androgynous first name 'Lee' rather than Lenore. From 1937 until 1940 Krasner attended classes at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, New York. She joined the American Abstract Artists group in 1940 and exhibited that year, for the first time, in their fourth annual exhibition in New York. In 1942 she participated in the group exhibition American and French paintings, selected by John Graham for the McMillen Gallery, New York. Jackson Pollock also participated in this exhibition and, after the show, he and Krasner became constant companions; they married in 1945.
Krasner's first solo exhibition was at the Betty Parsons Gallery, New York, in 1951. It was not until the mid 1960s, however, that her work began to receive due recognition. A retrospective exhibition was held in 1965 at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, which then toured Britain. In the late 1960s she held a number of solo exhibitions at Marlborough Gallery, New York. The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, organised an exhibition of Krasner's larger works in 1973, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, mounted a retrospective of her drawings and collages in 1975. In 1983 the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, organised a large retrospective which travelled to San Francisco, New York and Paris. Krasner died in New York on 27 June 1984, while this exhibition was still touring.
[1] The Federal Art Projects of the Works Progress Administration was a Great Depression-era scheme; artists were employed to produce works, usually for public buildings, as well as painting and posters.

When a couple has trouble having a baby, there's about a 50-50 chance that the man has a problem contributing to the pregnancy. He might:
If you might have a fertility problem, your doctor will want to perform a complete history and physical, as well as several tests to find out what may be causing your infertility.
Semen analysis is probably the first test you will be asked to perform. Semen is the fluid that is released when a man has an orgasm. Semen carries the sperm in fluids that should nourish and protect it. You will typically be asked to provide a semen sample by masturbating into a sterile glass jar. If masturbation is not culturally acceptable, your doctor can provide you with a special condom in which to collect semen during intercourse.
The semen analysis provides a lot of information about the quantity and quality of both semen and the sperm it contains. Some of the things that are measured are:
The analysis can also suggest if you have an infection in your reproductive system.
The semen sample has to be tested within an hour of collection, which usually takes place in the doctor's office. You'll probably need to make two visits to provide samples on two different days more than two weeks apart, because samples from the same man can be different at different times. Collecting two samples makes it easier to tell if something really is wrong. You may be asked not to release sperm (ejaculate) for 2 to 5 days before you provide a sample.
Important chemicals in your body, called hormones, control sperm production. They also affect your interest in sex and your ability to have sex. Too much or too little of these hormones can cause problems with sperm production or trouble having sex. Two important hormones for reproduction are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T). Your doctor may do blood work to check to see if you have the right amount of these hormones. If indicated, your doctor may check other hormone levels, including luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and prolactin.
If the semen analysis test results aren't normal, you may need to have more tests that can be performed by your doctor or you may be referred to a urologist. These tests will show:
If you've had the tests described above, but your doctor still does not know why you are having problems, additional tests may be necessary. These tests will tell your doctor:
If you produce very few sperm (or if you produce no sperm), your doctor may want to perform a genetic test to see if there is anything abnormal with your genes that makes it impossible for you to produce sperm. These tests can also tell if there is a problem that you could pass on to a child. These tests will tell your doctor:
No semen test can fully predict fertility. Other than a semen analysis, not all tests discussed are appropriate for every couple.

Cognitive dissonance describes the feeling we get when our ideas about the world don't line up with the way the world actually is. Everyone is deluded in some way, and it stings when our delusions are revealed.
This is psychological rather than physical pain, but most would prefer a cut to the body over a cut to the soul.
Not that it has to go so deep. I recently experienced a trivial case of cognitive dissonance, but it messed with my head.
Thursday's meeting of the Association for Excellence in Education went into extra innings and folks were ready to leave, but I claimed 30 seconds before they could escape.
Here's what I said: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
If that's gibberish, you're not alone. The AEE folks responded with blank stares, when I'd expected to hear, "As you wish" or "Have fun storming the castle" or "Inconceivable!"
Fans will recognize all of those lines from the 1987 comedy/fantasy/adventure film "The Princess Bride."
It's a modern-day classic and a joy for young and old. It was directed by Rob Reiner and stars Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, André the Giant, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Fred Savage, Peter Falk and Wallace Shawn. Whenever I see any of those actors in other films, my mind goes back to "The Princess Bride," if only for a few seconds.
I was shocked to learn the sentiment isn't universally shared. In a room with 15 AEE people, only one said, "Oh, yeah, I think I remember that." The rest smiled politely, though they were in a hurry to get out the door.
"The Princess Bride" didn't do particularly well during its initial release, but it's grown in cult status over the years. I'd deluded myself into thinking everybody had been won over by its charms: "The Cliffs of Insanity?" Anyone?
It would be easier if I could lump everyone on the AEE board into the stupid category, but that's not the case. They just see things differently.
Or maybe they haven't been exposed to the right things. I highly recommend downloading it or renting a DVD.
You also might want to catch Link Centre's staged reading of "The Princess Bride" script at 8 p.m. Friday in the concert hall. Tickets are $10/adults and $5/students. The bar opens at 7:30 p.m. (Full disclosure: I'll be one of the readers.)
If you go, you'll experience a thoroughly entertaining story, and you might come over to my way of thinking, which would clear up my cognitive dissonance problem nicely, thank you.

John Blake from the School Institutional Trust Lands Administration reported to the Emery County Commissioners the bids for the coal lease of the Cottonwood tract will be opened on Dec. 31. The bids closed on Dec. 28. Blake explained in 1998 there was a land exchange to trade out the SITLA lands within the Grand Staircase Escalante Monument Kaparowitz Plateau. SITLA acquired land above Joe's Valley from Trail Mountain to the south. There are two parcels being leased, parcel one is the Cottonwood coal exchange tract which includes 8,203.87 acres. The second parcel is just SITLA land which is 600 acres. After the coal has been extracted from the land exchange, that land will revert back to federal ownership.
This combined acreage is estimated to hold 48.5 million tons of coal. "We are interested in having this coal leased and mined. It is being advertised and the bids will close on Dec. 28. We have had a lot of interest in this tract. Hopefully we'll have some bidders. We will get it leased after the first of the year. Hopefully in the next few years it will get going," said Blake.
There is a small triangle of land not included in the lease. Geological information indicated it didn't look recoverable. The border of the lease runs right up to where the Trail Mountain mine was at when they closed.
It is estimated the cover for any coal recovery in this lease area will have an overburden of 2,600 feet. Trail Mountain had an overburden of 2,200 feet in the last section which was mined there before they closed.
One important point Blake stressed was the buffer zone between Joe's Valley dam and any mining activity. This buffer zone will be 1.8 miles. This is the same distance that was used before when Trail Mountain was active.
Commissioner Gary Kofford spoke in favor of the sale of the coal tract.
After the commission meeting Blake and SITLA Assistant Director of Minerals, Thomas Faddies, met in another meeting to further discuss the lease of the Cottonwood tract.
Blake began with an explanation of SITLA and how it operates. He said it is their job to manage the lands Congress granted to the State of Utah and to do so with financial responsibility as their primary importance. SITLA is managed by a seven member board and Kevin Carter is the head of the administration. SITLA lands comprise 3.5 million acres in Utah. One million of these acres have mineral interests.
Blake explained with the Cottonwood tract, SITLA only owns the mineral rights and not the surface lands. After $13 million in royalties plus interest are realized from the Cottonwood tract it will revert back to federal ownership. The Bureau of Land Management has been very active in an advisory role as this tract was readied for bid. Steve Rigby with the BLM has done a lot of work and consultations with SITLA on the matter.
SITLA said they have held the tract off the market until enough interest was expressed on the coal lease. They have that interest now and the industry seems ready.
SITLA has done a lot of work defining the boundaries of the tract. The whole tract is not up for lease, because of the 1.8 mile buffer zone near the Joe's Valley dam. This area which will not be used for mining contains a coal block of 1,400 acres.
The reason two parcels are being listed is because the school section will remain SITLA land even after it is mined out. There were also some stipulations on the exchange land requested by the United States Forest Service which included preserving other resources. The two separate parcels will only have one bid which covers both parcels. The tract is bid at cents per ton. Faddies said the tract will go for a considerable amount of money. The bid is based on the estimated 48.5 million ton of coal within the 8,803.87 acre area.
Those at the special meeting included representatives from the Emery Water Conservancy District. They have been working with SITLA for several months with input on the buffer zone for Joe's Valley Reservoir. Scott Martin, counsel for the district from Snow, Christensen and Martineau said they have enjoyed the courtesy of SITLA and the open communication with respect to the dam concerns. The district understands the importance of the coal lease and supports SITLA in this process. The district supports the lease and its current 1.8 mile buffer zone around the dam. Martin said they would appreciate correspondence and notification should anything change regarding the lease.
Craig Johansen from the EWCD board said it is important to note the 1.8 mile buffer zone is not an arbitrary number. The Bureau of Reclamation has done seismic studies in regards to dam safety and three major studies on the issues surrounding the Joe's Valley Dam. The 1.8 mile buffer zone was reached by a scientific and practical method.
Blake also added that SITLA has done studies of its own regarding the affects of seismic activity on the Joe's Valley dam. "The 1.8 mile buffer zone is what it was mined to before and we wouldn't want to go any closer without additional information," said Blake.
Johansen said the district is satisfied with the work of SITLA in regards to its proximity to the Joe's Valley dam.

Isn't it amazing how threatened the Left is by little old Fox News? Obama tells The New Republic that he could get a lot more done if not for Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. And what no one seems to get is what a huge indictment that is of the rest of the media. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press for the express purpose of guaranteeing that the press is free to work as a watchdog on those in power. "Speaking truth to power" - isn't that the refrain the Left loves to use - but not any longer. The mainstream media has become a lapdog to the Left because they all run in their own incestuous little circles where they all agree with each other and simply can't imagine that someone could disagree with Obama's agenda based on principle - it must be racism. The fawning of the media during the Inauguration was nauseating - Al Roper and Diane Sawyer should be embarrassed by the lack of professionalism they displayed. But back to Fox - out of all the media outlets available on the big three stations and cable, conservatives have ONE station that doesn't slant the news to the left (hows that tingle up your leg Chris Matthews) and the Left goes crazy. Heaven forbid there be ONE station that doesn't kiss the behind of the Democratic Party. And so many on here are of the same ilk - if they can't argue facts - they'll throw out that we're FOX zombies, or whatever moronic little insult they come up with this week.

National writer: Could Zack Greinke's love of hitting lead him to pick an NL team?
As the best pitcher on the free agent market this winter, Zack Greinke will have teams -- including the Rangers -- lining up to try to sign him for his arm. But could Greinke's preference for hitting push him to a move back to the National League?
That's the question Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal posed to several executives around baseball, who seemed to dismiss the idea.
But Rosenthal pointed out something that is often focused on when it comes to Greinke: he's not like most major leaguers.
Greinke has said that he uses advanced sabermetric stats to try to evaluate himself, and he pitches to keep his FIP, a sabermetric stat that tries to eliminate the influence of fielders and luck that can affect ERA, as low as possible. He has also been known to suffer from social anxiety and nearly left baseball in 2006 as a result. In other words, Greinke might not think like your average baseball player, so Rosenthal says his mindset could be tough to gauge.
"To be sure, hitting does not figure to be at the top of his list of priorities, not for a decision of this magnitude," Rosenthal wrote. "Grienke, though, is an individualist. If he chose an NL team, he not only could hit, but also avoid stronger AL lineups."
Rosenthal also points out that while Greinke's career offensive numbers aren't great, his .170 batting average and .493 OPS are still significantly better than than the .129 BA and .328 OPS that ML pitchers averaged in 2012. Ultimately, it'd be hard to see Greinke leaving money on the table from an AL club just because he likes to swing the bat -- after all, C.J. Wilson's penchant for hitting didn't stop him from signing with the Angels last year -- but it's a point worth keeping in mind with NL teams like the Dodgers and Nationals reportedly interested in getting Greinke.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Division of Oil, Gas and Mining met in Emery County in their quarterly meeting with coal operators and water users. Bill Moellmer from the Department of Environmental Quality, division of water quality, gave a presentation on water quality and the standards that apply. The present standards and changes became effective on Jan. 6, 2004. Moellmer presented a power point presentation detailing the present water quality standards. Moellmer said there are four areas of regulation; beneficial/designated uses, agriculture, fishing, etc., narrative criteria, numeric standards, and antidegradation policy and implementation. An antidegradation review policy/procedure for all waters statewide has been added.
This will address the remaining "assimilative capacity" of a receiving water. The DEQ is moving away from polluting up to the standard. Moellmer said, "What percent of a river should we allow to be polluted?" A Level I antidegradation review is required on all permitting actions. All activities requiring a Level II review are those that failed the Level I review. Also, Level II reviews can be requested by the executive secretary, 1C waters, Blue Ribbon Fisheries, Special Wetland Areas, etc., threatened and endangered species. Activities with adequate environmental impact studies may be exempt. Anyone can make a request for a review and it is at the discretion of the executive secretary if he/she deems a review necessary.
When a project needs a Level II review the applicant will meet with the DEQ and develop information jointly; a public notice will be issued in the newspaper and public agencies are invited to have input. Actions will be discussed which will result in less degrading. Alternatives are considered and alternative actions for treatment could include: higher levels of treatment, connection to other facilities, reduce the size of the project, pollutant trading, total/partial containment and other options. Costs to the project are also evaluated, a maximum cost increase of 1.2 times the cheapest alternative may be required.
Moellmer cited hypothetical examples of how they will work with projects to minimize impacts. In some instances the size of projects can be reduced, water can be stored and not immediately released, water can be put on fields, etc. DEQ will work with the discharger to give flexibility, but they can't allow violation of water quality standards.
Moellmer explained a new test for E.coli which can be done in the field with results in 24 hours. He said that E.coli standards have become more stringent than before. For approximately $3,200 you can receive 200 tests and all needed testing materials.
Moellmer discussed total dissolved solids. He gave a hypothetical example of discharge from Huntington Creek below the forest boundary at 500 TDS, and you have a project which you are discharging 1,000 TDS. "Why would we let you discharge a level that high above? We'd hear from the neighbors," said Moellmer.
Statewide standard for TDS is 1,200 for agricultural use. The DEQ considers how long a discharge would take place and other variables in making discharge decisions. The discussion made its way around to the discharge from Skyline Mine. The James Canyon wells were drilled to intercept the water entering the mine. JC-3 was drilled into the mine workings and JC-1 is drilled outside the mine workings into a fault fracture. The well outside the mine workings didn't need a permit. The DEQ took the TDS in Electric Lake and took it to the 80th percentile and said that's your discharge permit level of TDS.
The question was raised why can you dump the same water into Scofield and not into Electric Lake. Moellmer said they based it on what needs to be protected. They determined that an agricultural need exists for a farmer in that area raising alfalfa. They looked at the discharge and the dilution and concentration and the water the farmer is receiving out of Pleasant Valley Creek matched for an agricultural need. The permit issued to Skyline Mine is 1,310 TDS for discharge.
The TDS in Electric Lake is 250-275.
Craig Johansen from the Emery Water Conservancy District said, "The actions with Electric Lake have resulted in water being transferred from one watershed to another. The government is taking something that doesn't belong to them. This is a water rights issue."
Johansen wondered who they needed to sue and Moellmer suggested they sue the water rights people. Moellmer said the water cannot be pumped into Electric Lake because of the TDS and they are not responsible for the actions at Electric Lake.
Johansen said he disagreed and holds the DEQ responsible for the loss of water in the Huntington drainage. Moellmer suggested they go to the water quality board with a request for a higher level of TDS for discharge into Electric Lake. He said these strict guidelines are a result of watershed protection guidelines. PacifiCorp currently holds the permit for the discharge into Electric Lake and their permit discharge of TDS into Electric Lake cannot exceed 255. This stringent guideline has resulted in the discontinuation of the pumping of water from JC-3 because the occurring TDS exceeded the 255 figure. With the statewide TDS number being at 1,200 for agricultural use a wide gap exists in what will be allowed as a discharge into Electric Lake, which is a significant water supplier to the Huntington Power Plant. JC-1 which pumps outside of the mine workings doesn't require a permit because it is not mine discharge water. This well is pumping 4,028 gallons per minute into Electric Lake. Out of the portal of the mine, 3,602 gpm are still being discharged down Eccles Creek. It would be closer and more cost effective for the mining company if they could discharge into Electric Lake as well. It is here the controversy rages on about Huntington drainage water being released down Eccles Creek.
Cody Allred from PacifiCorp, Huntington Plant asked if they went through the review process if there was a chance they could be successful. Moellmer seemed to think they would have a good chance. One possible action could include raising the TDS for the discharge permit into Electric Lake to 500 TDS which would allow PacifiCorp a little more leeway with discharge water.
Moellmer said it is a bureaucratic issue which stems back to when the water quality standards were put together and they were working on how to classify lakes and they determined no discharge in the mountains within the forest service boundaries to protect watersheds and this level of protection has continued over time. That is the policy they need to go after in this Electric Lake discharge issue, advised Moellmer.
Moellmer suggested they ask the water quality board to have the antidegradation regulation on Electric Lake be removed because it is too stringent. "Ask to have it changed," suggested Moellmer.

Jets Post-Game 7: Same Old Story
Travis Hrubeniuk
October 15 2013 10:22PM
I want you to think about all the predictable storylines that could have come from this game.
They all came true. Ondrej Pavelec was iffy. Carey Price was great. PK Subban scored a beast of a one-timer. The Jets had a very poor start to the game. The Montreal Canadiens once again beat the Winnipeg Jets.
In what is becoming a very concerning trend, the Jets came out extremely flat again tonight against The Habs. After getting pinned in their own zone for an extended period of time right off the bat, Brandon Prust was able to take advantage of a slow moving Ondrej Pavelec and put Montreal up 1-0 just over two minutes into the game. Eight minutes and a few rounds of "boo's" later P.K. fired a one-timer right passed Pavelec, and Carey Price took over from there.
After being held of the shot clock for the first seven minutes of the game the Jets picked things up down 2-0 out-chancing Montreal 11-6 from that point forward. A combination of missed nets, bouncing pucks, and Carey Price preventing any sort of rebound from squeaking out resulted in his first shut out of the season.
The Good
They didn't have too many, but they are worth noting.
Jacob Trouba made one heck of a move in the first period during some 4 on 4 play. He's got a load of skill. There were a couple times I thought he made questionable decisions, and more than once I found myself wondering why he was making the harder play. Yet, I was impressed again with his poise and overall calmness when he got in trouble and was usually able to get himself out of trouble.
I thought Scheifele had a solid game. His best game as a Jet? I'm not so sure.
Although it was mainly with a two-goal deficit, the Jets did well at getting the puck towards the net. As I mentioned earlier, if not for a couple terrible bouncing pucks this could have been a different game. That does go both ways though, as The Habs were on the wrong side of a bouncing puck a few times as well.
I thought the penalty kill was solid once again tonight. They held Montreal to a single power play chance on 5 attempts, and their power play goal came on an empty net. In my opinion, the Jets have been much more aggressive lately on the kill, and it has brought some positive results. The recent success is the only justifiable reason I can come up with to explain why Frolik isn't getting much PK time.
The Bad
Goaltending. It's games like this that really bother me about Ondrej Pavelec. I'll break this down more in my Pavelec and entries post, but despite an "okay" game I didn't like either goal the Pavelec let in. He was slow getting back on Prust's goal, and I thought he stayed way too deep on Subban's one-timer. If he is able to cover up a puck and get a whistle on that first goal I could be singing his praises right now, but he just consistently comes up a little bit too short.
Has anyone seen Blake Wheeler? He has been a huge absence for the most part this season, and it's hard to really remember any moments of his throughout the game. This is where a lack of depth is a huge killer for the Jets. Devin Setoguchi has been less than stellar this season, meaning that Wheeler really doesn't have anybody around to take away his spot on the top line.
I once again find myself questioning Coach Noel's decision making. After being so reluctant to change the lines during the Jets 3-game losing streak, he was very quick to mix things up tonight. The problem? The Jets seemed to be matching up rather well when he did it. It's the timing more than anything that leaves me scratching my head.
Evander Kane has games where he is able to display his aggression and speed, and some games where he just can't stay out of the penalty box. He took two hooking calls and a holding penalty tonight; all on plays that could have been prevented if he kept moving his feet. I'm not saying I agree with the calls exactly (in fact, I though some of them were rather weak), but he can't put himself in positions that allow refs to make them.
I'll finish off here with the same point that has been made again and again this year. The Jets need to figure out how to start games better. They were pinned in their own end for almost two full minutes to start the game, and it resulted in an early 1-0 deficit. The Jets are not a good enough team to always be starting behind the 8-ball. They need to be better.
Final Thought
Montreal is one of those teams that make me happy about moving to the West. Mostly because the Jets are now 1-7 against them since the move, but also because they are a team that just makes me angry. I can't describe how pleased I am that they won't be visiting the MTS Centre again this year.

Can't beleive we're talking about the same issues ad infinitum, to the point where my copy and paste buttons are starting to get a little wonky. Had the boys over to the man cave last night and here are the following questions that surfaced (edited, or course, for familt consumption). Here are the top ten.
1) Why wasn't Montoya in net after pitching a shutout the game before?
2) Does James Wright have a picture of Claude Noel in a compromesing position?
3) Why was Michael Frolik conspicuous by his absense for most of the night, especially on the PK?
4) Does the Claude Noel watch start up again in ernest?
5) Are the expectations of the Jets to be a .500 team this year overly optimistic?
6) Is Blake Wheeler really made of glass?
7) Is it too early to start hoping for a first over-all pick in the 2014 draft.
8) Are Wright and Postma better players than O'Dell and Kichton?
9) Should somebody take away Claude Noel's lithium?
10) Should the Jets have a defibrillator installed in the dressing room and be required to have a quick jolt before the start of each game?
October 16 2013, 01:38PM
So much has changed! Antti Miettinen changed the name on his jersey to "Setoguchi," and we lose more faceoffs and get fewer high quality chances now that Wellwood is gone, and Grant Clitsome became unbelievably bad during the off-season! Different team, you guys.

Comments: Very solid net especially when you consider the handle separates from the frame. There is zero play between the handle and frame...sits snug in place. The handle breaks down small enough to fit in the bag. I've had zero issues with the nut not tightening enough to where the frame spins on the handle. My jigs don't get hung up in the netting and the bag if flat at the bottom so it's easy to handle the fish inside the net. Versatile and incredibly solid!
From: Jason: West Hills, CA, USA
Comments: I love everything about this net except the handle. The handle is telescoping. The problem I have with it is you can never get the handle tightened up enough. When you go to net a fish the net spins on the handle. Other than that the net is great. Hooks never get stuck in it.

Body Armor-Wearing Passenger Stopped at LAX with Suitcase Full of Weapons and Body Bags
A Chinese-born US citizen living in Boston was stopped in LAX on his way home from Japan with a suitcase full to bursting with a variety of weapons as well as other odd items such as handcuffs, duct tape, masks, body bags, and cooking tongs.
Authorities at Los Angeles International Airport's Customs and Border Protection became suspicious when they noticed that 28-year-old Yongda Huang Harris, who had just arrived from Incheon, Korea, was wearing a bullet-proof vest and flame retardant leggings.
Asked if he would like to declare anything, Harris told the officer he had a knife in his bag, but a search revealed he was also packing a gas mask, a biohazard suit, "a device to repel dogs," billy clubs, a baton, leg irons, oven mitts, an assortment of scissors, and a full set of cutlery that included a hatchet.
He also had in his possession a powerful Commando smoke grenade "capable of filling a 40,000-cubic-foot space with smoke."
The man, who has so far been charged with one count of transporting hazardous material on an airplane, is not cooperating with federal investigators and refuses to reveal what he planning to do with the items he had in his suitcase.
A link to terrorism has so far been ruled out.
It also remains unclear how Harris managed to make it from Kansai International Airport in Japan through Incheon to Los Angeles without raising any red flags.
According to Yasunori Oshima of Japan's Land and Transport Ministry's aviation safety department, the US has not officially asked Japan to investigate the matter on their end because the luggage wasn't brought on board.
"The case does not seem to pose any immediate concerns about aviation security measures in Japan," said Oshima.

Every morning, my pack of five goes through a stretching routine. They begin with play bows, tail tips wiggling high overhead. Then they push out their chests and extend their back legs so far I think surely, this time, one of them is going to fall over. Shelby, my Pit Bull mix, is known for the "ski jump," in which she thrusts out her back legs like a skier flying off the ramp. But somehow, they all manage to stick the landing with a grace and ease that even our cats envy. Finally, my canine Zen masters look at me with relaxed, happy grins, eager to go outside and greet the birds and squirrels.
If this routine goes on at your house too, then your dog is a natural at doga, or yoga for dogs. "Doga is a partner yoga class that people do with their dogs," says Kari Harendorf, owner of East Yoga in New York City and star of Animal Planet's "K9 Karma." The long-time doga enthusiast, who has partnered with her 10-year-old Husky, Charlie, for many years, began teaching doga classes in 2004. "It's very much like a dance, using the dogs as we would use a traditional dance partner … just as a teacher might assist you to push deeper into the pose."
Yoga is a Sanskrit term that means "joining," or "uniting." It's an ancient physical and mental discipline originally developed in India, where it also incorporates Hindu philosophy. Outside of India, yoga is more commonly viewed as a form of exercise. Humans who practice yoga are either a yogi (male) or yogini (female). The canine equivalent is a dogi (male) or dogini (female).
"Like yoga, doga balances, harmonizes, purifies and transcends the body and mind of the practitioner," says doga teacher Madhavi Bhatia. "What makes doga unique is the practice and benefits that create a harmony and synchronization of energy flow between the owner and dog."
Though I'm a restless sort who has avoided yoga for superficial reasons (who has time to sit still and think of nothing?), I was instantly attracted to doga. After all, isn't anything more fun and interesting when you can bring your dog? I signed up my 10-year-old Catahoula, Desoto, for doga class at Wiggles 'n' Wags in Lombard, Ill. We were joined by my friend Barb Scalise and her six-year-old Vizsla, Penny. We each brought mats for ourselves and our dogs, treats and water. Neither of us had prior yoga experience.
Bhatia, our instructor, first started teaching yoga 14 years ago in her native India. She only recently began teaching doga classes, but had a lifetime of experience with dogis and doginis. "As a child, I observed dogs, with curiosity about their movements," says Bhatia. "It was a very subconscious, playful start of doga for me."
I recognized some of the postures at our very first class. My dogs' morning play bow corresponds to the "downward-facing dog" posture, perhaps the most natural pose for all dogs. What I described as Shelby's "ski jump" is the popular "cobra" pose.
But observing a dog pose naturally and helping him into a pose—or using him to support your own—are very different things. I chose Desoto to be my doga partner because I assumed that, being a senior, he would be happy to lie down on the mat next to me and allow me to gently manipulate his legs and head into the various poses.
We know what happens when one assumes. Social butterfly that he is, Desoto was so delighted to be with other people and dogs that he could barely sit still, much less do downward-facing dog. I brought out a bag of treats to help him focus, which it did. But I didn't count on the waterfall of drool that poured all over my brand-new yoga mat. And did I mention that he weighs 72 pounds and is all muscle? Meanwhile, Barb and her petite, well-behaved Penny were smoothly transitioning from pose to pose as though they had been doing it for years.
Class ended with a soft chant and meditative "oms" lead by Bhatia. I was exhausted and, thanks to the sweat and saliva on my mat, coated with damp fur. But Desoto had finally found his inner dogi. Stretched out with his back against my crossed legs, he watched our instructor through sleepy eyes. As I sang "ohm" with the rest of the students, he raised his head slightly to look at me. Satisfied, he sighed and rested his head on the mat. As the weeks passed, Desoto and I improved, most notably when I strived to let go of everyday tensions and just be in the moment, like he was.

The boys are back in town
Jason Gregor
September 19 2008 02:02PM
The Oilers are finally back, as the players were put through their annual medicals today. All the vets came in healthy and will be on the ice tomorrow. The same can't be said for their head coach, as Craig MacTavish had his right hand bandaged after having surgery to repair some damaged tendons on his hand. MacT joked that hopefully it will just be the coaching staff on the injured list this season.
Some interesting points from Day 1
It sounds like MacTavish has his top three line combinations set, and there was one major surprise. Oiler fans, your third line centre will be…
Marc Pouliot? No… Kyle Brodziak? Not yet… Dustin Penner? Negative…
It will be none of than Fernando Pisani.
MacTavish said he is leaning to trying Pisani in the middle with Moreau on the left side and Dustin Penner moving to the right side. This is a shocker, but to me it shows that right now there isn't much faith in Pouliot being a centre on this team. Brodziak has a lock on the 4th line centre and if the Pisani experiment doesn't work, he will get a shot on the 3rd line.
MacT also said you can pencil in Zack Stortini to be the 4th line right winger on opening night. So that leaves the left side of the 4th line as the only position up for grabs heading into camp. Meaning Marc Pouliot, Gilbert Brule and Rob Schremp are the three leading candidates to get the job. J.F Jacques' back has acted up again and it sounds like he is destined for surgery more than a spot on the roster.
As expected the kid line will play together and MacT is curious to see how they look. "We have to give them a chance to grow together, and put them back in a position to succeed."
The defence will be paired by the Alphabet
The "S's" will play together, Staios and Souray. The "G's" will start beside one another, Gilbert and Grebeshkov. And the "L's", Lubomir and Ladislav will be a pair. This pairing will depend on the health of Smid, who still isn't 100% healthy on his surgically repaired knee. He says it's about 85% and needs to see how it responds in one-on-one battles.
Horcoff in great shape
Shawn Horcoff has added five pounds to his upper body, and it showed during the fitness testing. While we aren't privy to the exact numbers, during one strength test that involves essentially spinning a wheel that is loaded down with weights, Horcoff ripped through it while some teammates struggled. Horcoff seems determined to pick up where he left off last year, and will play and produce like an All Star.
Check in all weekend to read my reports from the first one-ice sessions through to the Joey Moss Cup.

September 19 2008, 02:13PM
...Oh man!!
I LOVE hockey.
September 19 2008, 02:17PM
Those defense pairings sound better than the ones that Charlie Huddy talked to Dan Tencer about a few weeks ago (Souray-Staios, Gilbert-Visnovsky, Grebeshkov-Smid).
Pisani up the middle? Very interesting, and the adaption to a checking line will probably be easier for Penner if he stays on the wing - and if and when he displaces someone on the top two lines, it'll probably be easier for that player to play on the wing as well.
Maybe the Pisani-as-center thing is due to a lack of faith in Brodziak being able to handle 3rd-line center duties right from the get-go... I would've been surprised to see Pouliot to get that over Brodziak anyway, based on how well Kyle did in the latter half of last season. He's probably the guy they (eventually) want to take over from Stoll as the 3rd-line checking center, with Pouliot finding his niche on the 4th line as center or winger.
What's the waiver situation on those 3 fighting for that 4th-line spot (Pouliot, Brule, Schremp)? Do any of them have to clear waivers to get sent down to Springfield?
September 19 2008, 02:24PM
Pouliot has to clear waivers, but the other two do not. So you can expect him to start the season in Edmonton, either on the 4th line or in the pressbox.
I have faith in Pisani. I cannot wait for Oct 12th, it's finally getting close....
Don't forget about Potulny, who also has to clear waivers. Has there been any mention of him lately?
September 19 2008, 03:02PM
Well, this does two things -- puts his second toughest line of players together and allows the less experience 2 and 4 line to get more shelter.
You know -- the kids shift on as Iginla, Gaborik, Sedin lines leave the ice. Either the Horcoff or the Pisani centered lines get the tougher matchups.
It allows him to give Moreau a bigger heaping of icetime than he would otherwise get nestled into the 4th line.
I anticipate that he will break camp with this alignment, but ease off of it after the long road trip once 51 and 78 are in the swing of things.
September 19 2008, 03:07PM
You guys should do a write up on how Dustin Penner spent all summer clowning around learning how to juggle instead of excercising. That would be a hoot.
''You guys should do a write up on how Dustin Penner spent all summer clowning around learning how to juggle instead of excercising. That would be a hoot.''
haha no doubt.. i read that too.. "I can juggle twenty in a row, got some tennis balls around? ... No?"
September 19 2008, 03:19PM
@Jason, I wonder: who takes the faceoffs, Penner or Pisani?
September 19 2008, 03:24PM
@Jason, I wonder: who takes the faceoffs, Penner or Pisani?
Given that Pisani's gone 21/73 over the course of his NHL career, I'd imagine Penner takes most of the draws.
Pisani?? I love the guy, but he has little experience on the dot, and what he has done on wave-outs isn't exactly stellar: he was an "awesome" 2 for 7 on FOs last yr. Previous yr 4 for 12, 05-06 8 for 35, 03-04 2 for 10... and, well, you get the picture.
I agree with namflashback - it does make for a solid third line... I'm guessing that Penner would be taking at least half of those draws?
I did like Penner on the kid line tho.
Ahhh. Jonathan beat me to it.
September 19 2008, 03:31PM
Where did you read this Gord/Outkast?
September 19 2008, 03:34PM
Pisani?? I love the guy, but he has little experience on the dot, and what he has done on wave-outs isn't exactly stellar: he was an "awesome" 2 for 7 on FOs last yr. Previous yr 4 for 12, 05-06 8 for 35, 03-04 2 for 10… and, well, you get the picture.
Although, IIRC, somebody put some numbers together that showed that the replacement player on faceoffs was much more likely to lose the draw - and that makes sense, partially because whoever it is probably doesn't take a ton of draws, but also because of the potential for a delay-of-game penalty if that second player is tossed out.
In other words, I'm going to take Pisani's record to date with a grain of salt.
September 19 2008, 03:50PM
September 19 2008, 04:00PM
Thanks Towel Boy.
Good point Jon. I'm still pretty leery about Pisani's ability to win draws in tough situations...
September 19 2008, 04:40PM
The most wonderful time of the year
September 20 2008, 10:54AM
//In other words, I'm going to take Pisani's record to date with a grain of salt.//
Jonathan this comment almost made me cry with joy..insight over stats...well I guess you used a Stat to argue a stats validity...but either way. I'm smiling:)
I wrote a little blog on this as well:
The Oilers feel they can build from within the system. However, I've been reading "respectable" bloggers in regards to the 3rd line centre void. They have been bantering up ideas to bring in a Smolinski or a Marchant. So in my effort to silence the critics, so to speak, I for one strongly feel those statements are poorly executed. "IF" that were to be the case, why did the Oilers let Reasoner walk?
I was reading into the words of MacT, who recently stated that he will in fact be starting PISANI at centre; and as for PENNER, a left handed shooter will be placed on Pisani's right wing.
Yesterday Pisani made his way at centre ice to start off training camp. "I felt pretty good on the faceoffs," said Pisani. "I was a little nervous to be honest but I thought I did pretty well.
And as far as Schremp goes, "This is the first year I can say that Rob has a real legitimate chance of staying here,"
"Obviously that will be proven through training camp. But he's given himself the opportunity, and we're going to give him every opportunity to prove he belongs here." encouraging words from Coach Craig Mactavish.
These statements really are in Rob Schremp's benefit... it seems there is no reason why he won't be making his way to the NHL. The door really began to open last year when Schremp was moved from centre to left wing; a move that was pushed by the Oilers upper management in an attempt to strengthen his chances of cracking the Oilers line-up.
Schremp spent the majority of his off season hard at work in L.A, "I focused pretty hard in the summer, went down and saw (strength and conditioning coach) Chad (Moreau) and I think I've put myself in a pretty good position, probably the best since I was drafted."
Hopefully all the hard work pays off...I fully expect to see Schremp donning the Oilers uniform at the start of the season.
So why not Brule or Pouliot? They are centre men, both with a Right hand shot. It's not in good practice to have two wingers on the same line playing there opposite side; it eliminates the playmaking winger and results in a line with poor puck control.
However, it should be a concerning for Pisani; if not motivation. If he can not lock up that centre position...he likely will be moved. Lowe stated the other day that he has no issue moving a veteran to make way for the young guy. Brule, Pouliot are looking to battle Pisani for that job.
Time will tell, it will be an interesting few weeks.

Banning of THSV made for a good popcorn thread. Altho the "I have a dream" and Adult Link threads were quite funny, they just didn't have that level of threadedness that thsv thread got.
