National Park and Preserve
The Aleutian Range in KATM is a segment of the circum-pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most active volcanic belts in the world. Quaternary volcanism in the Aleutians is the result of plate convergence, approximately 7.0 cm/year, between the American and Pacific plates (Figure 4) (Kienle and Swanson, 1983). The relationship between tectonic movement (plate convergence) and volcanic activity was hypothesized in the 1920s. Fenner (1925) concluded an apparent coincidence of tectonic shocks (earthquakes) during the 1912 Novarupta volcanic eruption in KATM. The structural geology of the Katmai region trends generally northeast-southwest along the Aleutian Range and lies on a slight homocline (strata having the same dip) dipping to the southeast. A dominant structural feature in the region, the Bruin Bay Fault, bisects KATM (Figure 5). To the north on the northwest side of this fault, lower to middle Jurassic intrusives and Tertiary extrusives are upthrown into surface contact with relatively flat-lying Upper Jurassic Naknek sandstone on the southeast side. Farther to the southeast, the sandstone is overlain and to some extent surrounded by Tertiary to Quaternary volcanics (Ward and Matumoto, 1967). Except for early thrust movement on the Bruin Bay Fault, the Alaska Peninsula was primarily a depositional feature until the Pliocene. Essentially all major tectonic features in the region were formed during the Pliocene, although regional uplift still persists (Burke, 1965). In detail, the geology and associated structure are very complex with igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary lithologies interacting at various scales.
KATM contains four distinct physiographic regions: the Aleutian Range, the coast, the lake country, and the Bristol Bay lowlands (U.S. National Park Service, 1994). Glaciation has influenced the topography of each region; carving u-shaped valleys and deep lake basins, and depositing eroded materials transported by the ice advances. The Aleutian Range is a volcanic mountain chain that rises more than 7,000 feet from fjord-like bays of the Shelikof Strait. The Aleutian Mountains parallel the northeasterly trend of the Alaska Peninsula across the entire area and separate the Shelikof Strait coast from the lake country surrounding Naknek, Nonvianuk, and Kukaklek lakes (Keller and Reiser, 1959). The lake country is comprised of low, rolling hills and large deep depressions, such as Naknek, Coville, Kulik, Nonvianuk and Grosvenor lakes. Many of the rivers drain from the highland areas to these lakes and flow into the Naknek or Alagnak rivers before emptying into moist tundra of the Bristol Bay lowlands. KATM's lowlands are described by Young and Racine (1978) as a transition zone where the interior Alaska white spruce (Picea glauca) forest gives way to tundra. This low-latitude forest-tundra ecotone occurs along much of the western coast of Alaska. Although located at a lower latitude, the tundra at KATM is similar to that found in arctic Alaska and attributed to the maritime climatic influences.
Currently, there have been no comprehensive soil surveys conducted in KATM (Natural Resources Conservation Service, 1998). In fact, minimal soil survey work has been conducted in Alaska. One limited study in the park evaluated soil properties in the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes (Cameron, 1970). According to this study, Valley soils produced from the 1912 eruption of Novarupta are largely siliceous materials. These soils are low or without typical clays; thus, conditions are not favorable for organisms. Not surprising, the Valley is void of visible vegetation, although algae are still an important group of microflora in this ash-impacted area.
Igneous rocks intrude older sedimentary formations in the park, creating lake basins of heterogeneous parent materials (Gunther, 1992). The lake basins in the region were deeply carved by glaciers during several advances between 8,000 and 25,000 years ago.
The deepest recorded lake depth is 530 feet in the Iliuk Arm of Naknek Lake. Lakes become much shallower toward the west as a result of glacial deposition (U.S. National Park Service, 1994).
Glaciers, Lake Ice, and Snowpack
The Katmai region has a history of multiple glaciations by a piedmont glacier system, which at its maximum, extended nearly 100 miles west of the Aleutian Range across Kvichak Bay (Muller and Ward, 1966). Currently, glaciers make up 216,000 acres (6%) of KATM (U.S. National Park Service, 1994). The hydrologic cycle in the park is influenced in part by extensive glaciers and snowfields that supply vast quantities of silty meltwater to the headwaters of drainage basins during the summer months. Mean annual frozen precipitation totals for King Salmon, which represent KATM's interior, and Kodiak, which represent KATM's coast, vary from 46.1 to 77.4 inches, respectively (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1998). Seasonal ice and snow cover affects the characteristics of aquatic ecosystems. It controls the amount of light reaching the unfrozen water beneath the ice (Prowse and Stephenson, 1986). Ice can also prevent gas exchange between underlying waters and the atmosphere and may commonly lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen and the build up of reduced gasses such as CO2, CH4 and H2S (Rouse et al., 1997). The processes accompanying ice formation during freeze-up and break-up have a wide range of effects on the bed, banks, and biota of lakes and rivers. These include frazil ice (aggregate of ice crystals formed in 13 supercooled turbulent water) impact on fish and invertebrates, anchor ice growth, elevated water levels, channel blockage and increased scouring (Prowse, 1994.) KATM is also underlain by discontinuous or isolated masses of permafrost, which can greatly influence the hydrologic cycle (Dearborn, 1979). For example, permafrost can prevent precipitation from recharging aquifer systems, thus surface runoff provides a greater contribution to lake and stream recharge.
Coastal Environments
KATM's boundary includes nearly 400 miles of rugged coastline of the Shelikof Strait and Cook Inlet on the Gulf of Alaska. Islands located within five miles of the coast are also administered by the park. These coastal drainages are characteristically short, with steep gradients. One exception is the Katmai River, which was impacted by volcanic ash deposited from the 1912 eruption of Novarupta. The heavy silt loads from the ash-laden watershed transformed this single channel system into a three-mile-wide braided river. The streams that empty into the numerous bays along the Shelikof Strait coastline range between 2.9 and 19.3 miles in length. The U.S. National Park Service (1994) has identified 11 coastline classifications for KATM: 1) exposed rocky headland, 2) sheltered rocky shore, 3) wave-cut platform, 4) gravel beach, 5) mixed sand and gravel beach, 6) coarse-grained sand beach, 7) fine/medium-grained sand beach, 8) exposed tidal flat, 9) exposed tidal flat / moderate biomass, 10) sheltered tidal flat, and 11) marsh. Associated with these different coastal environments is a variety of aquatic biota (i.e., anthropods, molluscs, echinoderms, fish, etc.) that support both aquatic communities and terrestrial species along KATM's coast, including one of the park's biggest visitor attractions, the brown bear (Ursus arctos).
Volcanic Environments
A compilation of observations of volcanic eruptions since 1870 and ash stratigraphy shows that KATM has had a long history of volcanic activity (Ward and Matumoto, 1967). In 1912, Novarupta violently erupted. The 60-hour eruptive sequence yielded about 35 km3 of tephra (pyroclastic material ejected during a volcanic eruption), the most voluminous outburst of the twentieth century (Hildreth, 1987). In addition to Novarupta, five other volcanoes in the vicinity of Novarupta have been intermittently active since 1912: Mount Katmai, Mount Martin, Mount Mageik, Trident Volcano and Mount Griggs. Six more volcanoes, which have had no activity recorded in the last 200 years, are considered active: Mount Dension, Mount Stellar, Kukak Volcano, Kaguyak Volcano, Four-Peaked Mountain, and Mount Douglas (U.S. National Park Service, 1994).
Two crater lakes occur in the park: Katmai Crater Lake, which formed as a result of the 1912 eruption of Novarupta, and Kaguyak Crater Lake, which formed in recent prehistoric times. Neither lake has an outlet stream (U.S. National Park Service, 1994). Volcanic activity has a significant impact on water chemistry and stream morphology. For example, in KATM, streams that were in contact with the 1912 tephra deposits had a different water chemistry than streams located outside the influence of volcanic activity (see Water Quality section) (Keith et al., 1990). Extensive physical changes in riparian and aquatic habitats have also resulted from volcanic-induced disturbances in the Cook Inlet region. Along with ash deposition, eruptions in the region have caused massive inputs of water and sediment to enter the stream channels emanating from glaciers and snowfields on the volcanoes (Dorava and Milner, 1999). Some impacts from volcanic eruptions are short-term (< 5 years), while others last much longer. There are data to suggest significant fertilization of watersheds by ashfall in the region. Griggs (1920) reported that the ash from the 1912 eruption included 0.36% phosphorus, 0.47% magnesium and 3.8 % calcium. Although vegetation was greatly reduced during the first two years following the eruption, Griggs (1920) found plant growth to accelerate above normal after the second year. A similar correlation was observed in examining the growth history (1855 - 1951) of five spruce trees (Picea spp.) around Brooks Lake. As shown in Figure 8, an abrupt and rapid increase in annual growth rates occurred in 1914, peaking in 1918 (Eicher and Rounsefell, 1957). In comparing macroinvertebrate community composition in the Drift River (approximately 100 miles northeast of KATM), which was impacted by the 1989-1990 Redoubt volcanic eruption, with nearby undisturbed streams, Dorava and Milner (1999) found the Drift River macroinvertebrate communities still recovering after five years.
Fumaroles and Hot Springs
After the region was blanketed with pumiceous fallout from the 1912 Novarupta eruption, fumaroles (vents, usually volcanic, from which vapors and gases are emitted) discharged from the ash-flow sheet and were vigorously active when discovered in 1916 (Griggs, 1922). During his first visit to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Griggs (1917) wrote:
"I can never forget my sensations at the sight which met my eyes as I surmounted the hillock and looked down the valley; for there, stretching as far as the eye could reach, till the valley turned behind a blue mountain in the distance, were hundreds - no, thousands - of little volcanoes."
Dr. Shipley, who accompanied Griggs on the 1917 National Geographic Katmai expedition, reported a variety of odors (i.e., hydrogen sulfide and hydrochloric acid) coming from active vents in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes (Griggs, 1918). Fumarole temperatures up to 645º C were measured in 1919 (Allen and Zies, 1923). Cooling of the ash-flow sheet and the influx of surface waters caused the fumaroles to gradually cool and die out [Allen and Zies (1923), Fenner (1923), Zies (1924)]. No subsequent studies were done until 1979 after the fumaroles had become cold, except for a few in the near-vent region (Keith, 1984, 1991). Hydrothermally active areas as hot as 90° C in 1986 have been mapped as discontinuous, elongate, clay-altered layers concentrated along some of the concentric fractures outlining the Novarupta caldera, as well as along systems of crossfractures (Keith, 1986). Keith et al., (1990) reported that thermal springs in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, discharge about 20 meters below the surface of the ash-flow sheet through vertical cooling cracks in the tuff. In 1990, the maximum measured temperature of the springs was 29.8° C in early summer when waters in the upper valley were still frozen. Later in the summer, the temperatures decreased to approximately 17° C, most likely because of increased mixing with cooler surface melt-waters from the upper valley. In the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, mineralogical evidence indicates three gradational stages of fumarolic activity that evolved as cooling took place: (1) hightemperature, vapor-phase degassing; (2) fumarolic gases reacting with water to form acids at the surface; (3) present-day residual near-neutral wet steam with temperatures as high as 90° C (Keith, 1991).

The 15 active volcanoes that line the Shelikof Strait make Katmai National Park and Preserve one of the world's most active volcano centers today. These Aleutian Range volcanoes are pipelines into the fiery cauldron that underlies Alaska's southern coast and extends down both Pacific Ocean shores (the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire"). This Ring of Fire boasts more than four times more volcanic eruptions above sea level than any other region in historic times.
Nearly ten percent of these more than 400 eruptions have occurred in Alaska; less than two percent in the rest of North America. The current theory of plate tectonics attributes this phenomenon to the collision of the series of plates that makes up the Earth's crust. The Ring of Fire marks edges where crustal plates bump against each other. Superimposing a map of earthquake activity over a map of active volcanoes creates a massed record of violent earth changes ringing the Pacific Ocean from South America around through the Indonesian archipelago.
Major volcanic eruptions have deposited ash throughout the Katmai area at least ten times during the past 7,000 years. Under the now quiet floor of the expansive Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and deep beneath the mountains that rise around it, there is still molten rock present. Most visible as clues to this are the steam plumes that occasionally rise from Mountains Mageik, Martin, and Trident. These steam plumes show that there is real potential for new eruptions to occur. In fact, Mount Trident has erupted four times in recent decades, its last eruptive explosion taking place in 1968.
A volcanic eruption capable of bringing major change could occur at any time in this truly dynamic landscape. Since the great 1912 eruption, the massive deposits of volcanic ash and sand that resulted have consolidated into tuff, which is a type of rock. In the valley these ash deposits have been rapidly cut through by streams to form steep-walled gorges. The thousands of fantastic fumaroles that greeted the scientists who discovered the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes after that powerful eruption have now cooled and ceased their ominous smoking. But the fiery cauldron, whose intense heat and pressure can be forcefully released to alter the landscape in mere hours, still looms close to the surface in the park's portion of the volcanic Aleutian Range.
Eruption! And the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes
The June 1912 eruption of Novarupta Volcano altered the Katmai area dramatically. Severe earthquakes rocked the area for a week before Novarupta exploded with cataclysmic force. Enormous quantities of hot, glowing pumice and ash were ejected from Novarupta and nearby fissures. This material flowed over the terrain, destroying all life in its path. Trees up slope were snapped off and carbonized by the blasts of hot wind and gas. For several days ash, pumice, and gas were ejected and a haze darkened the sky over most of the Northern Hemisphere.
When it was over, more than 65 square kilometers (40 square miles) of lush green land lay buried beneath volcanic deposits as much as 200 meters (700 feet) deep. At nearby Kodiak, for two days a person could not see a lantern held at arm's length. Acid rain caused clothes to disintegrate on clotheslines in distant Vancouver, Canada. The eruption was ten times more forceful than the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens. Eventually Novarupta became dormant. In the valleys of Knife Creek and the Ukak River, innumerable small holes and cracks developed in the volcanic ash deposits, permitting gas and steam from the heated groundwater to escape.
It was an apparently unnamed valley when the 20th century's most dramatic volcanic episode took place. Robert Griggs, exploring the volcano's aftermath for the National Geographic Society in 1916, stared awestruck off Katmai Pass across the valley's roaring landscape riddled by thousands of steam vents. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Griggs named it.
"The whole valley as far as the eye could reach was full of hundreds, no thousands - literally, tens of thousands - of smokes curling up from its fissured floor," Griggs would write. One thousand steam vents reached 150 meters (500 feet) in the air, some more than 300 meters (1,000 feet). Such marvels inspired explorers on the next year's expedition:
"I felt like a boy at a circus, for I couldn't take time to study the attraction before me because I suspected something more captivating further on."
"The meager pictures of the previous year... had not prepared me to face such a spectacle of awesome magnitude. I had pictured the Valley as large; the actual view dwarfed my wildest imagery to insignificance."
You may build in memory, but never reproduce the scenes which lie beyond the Katmai Pass. They seem too big to be a part of the rest of the world. They do not connect up with the little things which are built into our lives>"
The expedition's surveyor did not concur with such glowing assessments of natural wonders that seriously reduced visibility: "The smokes did not impress me with their grandeur.... Their ability to make surveying next to impossible did... A wool comfort placed on the ground which is 110 degrees Fahrenheit... will steam beautifully. It is a natural phenomenon, but it is not a good bed." Nature can't please everyone.
Only one eruption in historic times, Greece's Santorini in 1500 B.C., displaced more volcanic matter than Novarupta. The terrible 1883 eruption of Indonesia's Krakatoa belched out little more than one half as much, yet killed 35,000 people. Vastly isolated Novarupta killed no one. If the eruption occurred on Manhattan Island in New York City, Robert Griggs calculated, residents of Chicago would hear it plainly. The fumes would tarnish brass in Denver. Acid raindrops would burn your skin in Toronto. In Philadelphia the ash would lie nearly a foot deep. Manhattan would have no survivors.
Today you can take the trip from Brooks Camp out to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, where the turbulent Ukak River and its tributaries cut deep gorges in the accumulated ash. The landscape slowly recovers: In nature, each destruction is somewhere's new creation.

Supreme Court Decision: Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, 564 U.S. ___ (2011)
The U. S. Supreme Court, in a 7 - 2 decision issued in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, 564 U.S. _ (2011), on June 27, 2011, struck down a California ban on sales of violent video games to children. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, stated that video games were subject to full First Amendment protection.
Violent depictions, stated Justice Scalia, have never been subject to government restrictions. He cited various fairy tales, such as "Snow White" and "Cinderella," in support of this proposition. The goal of the law to protect minors did not alter the constitutional analysis.
In a dissent, Justice Thomas argued that minors' free speech was not protected by the First Amendment. In a separate dissent, Justice Breyer found the statute did not run afoul of the First Amendment, as the violent games were associated with aggressive behavior and therefore harmed youngsters.
James Alan Fox, Professor of Criminology, Law and Public Policy at Northeastern University and author of the Crime & Punishment blog on Boston.com, offers his insight and opinion on the decision in his column, 'The violent video game blame game.'

Where to park if you're on a snow emergency route
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Depending on where you live, the majority of people affected by a 'snow emergency' are the ones who live on a snow emergency route.
In Reading, all city parking garages are open and providing free parking. That will remain in effect until 10 a.m. Saturday, officials said.
Allentown officials have posted on more than a dozen streets throughout the city where residents won't be allowed to park in order to let snow plows do their job.
"We can't get those plows, a lot of them down those side streets, unless they move their vehicles," said Mayor Ed Pawlowsk, D-Allentown.
Those streets are:
• Jordan St from Whitehall St to Turner St
• Green St from East of Meadow at the dead end to 12th St
• Cedar Street from 3rd St to 12th St
• Whitehall St from Meadow St to 8th St
• Penn St from Sumner Ave to Union St
• Lumber St from Whitehall St to Linden St
• Jefferson St from Carey St to Liberty St and Gordon St to MLK
• Madison St from Allen St to Winton St
• Franklin St from Early St to MLK
• Fulton St from Linden St to Elm St and Turner St to Washington St
• St Cloud St from Maple St to South St and Turner St to Chew St
• West St from Gordon St to South St
• St George St from Tilghman St to Liberty St and Chew St to Linden St
To help, Allentown is offering free parking in eight lots across the city at:
• Transportation Center , Sixth & Linden streets
• Northeast, 121-137 N. Seventh St.
• Germania, 108-126 S. Seventh St.
• Fountain, 923-933 Walnut St.
• Community lot, 13-37 S. Sixth St.
• Walnut @ 9th Deck, Corner of Ninth & Walnut streets
• Spiral Deck, 820 – 836 Linden St.
• "E" Lot, 226 N. Ninth St
Also, for the first time this winter people can park their cars at the Allentown Fairgrounds. Use the Eighth Gate entrance at the intersection of Liberty and Cloud streets.
In Bethlehem, residents can park at the North Street and Walnut Street garages, or at meters free of cost.
Easton has opened its Third Street garage but residents must move their vehicle by 5 p.m. on Friday.

Seems the place Hasbro *really* stinks on their 12" is the females. I can't think of a single one that's worth a darn. And the prototypes of Zam make me think that she'll be the worst yet.
The annoying thing is that they have a perfectly good 12" female body in the GI Jane, but they hardly use it!
The best female bodies out there are the 12" Dragon female (ala Danger Girl) and (perhaps better) Cy-Girl "Perfect" body, which even has interchangeable breasts! Yes, I mean you can alternate between the "whoa" size and the "Ohmighod" size. And she even has nipples!

- Sonatas for Flute and Fortepiano
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was most renowned for his gifts of improvisation. Johan Friedrich Reichardt wrote in 1776: "I have not yet said anything to you about the excellent Phantasies of this Master; his whole soul is engaged when he improvises...it is here that he first truly shows the enormous knowledge of harmony and the immeasurable wealth of rare and unusual modulations which establish him as the greatest of original geniuses." Spontaneity of expression and changing moods give the music of Emanuel Bach a more strongly improvisatory character than that of almost any other composer. His style, so individual, surprising, and abrupt, must have originated in this subjective attitude towards emotions. After all, we can read in his autobiography (1773) "I feel that Music must, above all, touch the heart"--a sentence which could almost serve as a motto for the entire period of musical style referred to as Empfindsamkeit. The term "empfindsam" was invented by the dramatist Lessing as a German neologism for the English word "sentimental", when Lessing was helping the Hamburg publisher Bode with a translation of Laurence Sterne's "A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy", written in 1768. The term was used to indicate a new aesthetic which was deliberately slanted towards subjective emotions. It was a style which had already been popular in literature for some 20 years, since the publication of Klopstock's Biblical epic, "Messias" (1748). A similar striving for intensity of feeling was also to become prominent in contemporary vocal and instrumental music: the interruption of continuous textures, violent contrasts, large dynamic ranges, from the softest pianissimo to the loudest fortissimo, and finally a striving towards irrationality. Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Johann Gottfried Mthel, and Georg Benda were the foremost representatives of this style, which was most widespread in northern Germany. Trio Sonata Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's chamber music signals an important step in the process by which instrumental music freed itself from the restraints of vocal music traditions. One of the most important features of Bach's contribution to this emancipation was his highly imaginative and poetic style, which enabled his music to "speak", even without words. Musical aestheticians, during that period of the Enlightenment, referred to Ton-sprache (speech in tones) and Klang-rede (discourse in (musical) sound). The most popular chamber music genre in the time of Emanuel Bach was the trio sonata. It was genre most suited to a "Klang-rede" of this sort; indeed, two independent voices, supported by a basso continuo, could carry on a musical conversation, and the sonata adapted this technique from the genre of the concerto. In such a conversation, we can hear the two upper voices alternately speaking with or against each other, in harmony or in competition. Emanuel Bach left 29 trio sonatas (in addition to 4 more works of disputed authenticity), set for two melody instruments and figured bass, or for a single melody instrument and obbligato clavier (which in this case plays both the basso continuo and one of the concertante upper voices). No fewer than a quarter of these works, seven trios, were composed in Leipzig in 1731, under the watchful eye of his father Johann Sebastian, in the house where Bach lived during his youth. They are, moreover, the only chamber music works written by the younger Bach during this period. During the course of Bach's law studies in Frankfurt on the Oder, only one trio sonata was written (1735); the entire remainder belong to Emanuel's Berlin sojourn (1740-1768)....

Six Degrees of Kings of Leon's Aha Shake Heartbreak
By Yancey Strickler, Contributor
It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

How can I listen to WLW online? Thru gameday I'm only able to get the Braves broadcast and it says I have to pay for the WLW one.
Kotchmann hits a sac fly. 1-0 Braves.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Ross is going to get some rips off a lefty with very little, like Maloney.
Hanigan works it to 3-0 and takes the walk.... Hmmm sounds like a guy that could maybe hit at the top of the lineup.
Bruce works the walk. 2 on zero out.
And Hairston quickly falls behind 0-2.
Hairston flies out. Great AB!
Rosales gets HBP and they're loaded for Maloney. Who is a bigger threat Maloney or Taveras?
Any chance of scoring here? It's like three pitchers in a row.

The Adventures of Master Towserpage: 113
SMALL TOWSER sat with his tail in a puddle of mud. The puddle was small, but so was his tail. His nose was turned down to the paving‐stones; there were two drops running down towards the tip of it, but they weren't raindrops, though the afternoon was sad and cloudy enough—they came from his eyes. Presently, out of the swell gate of the house over the way came a most respectable‐looking dog, of a very comfortable appearance, and as big as eight Towsers, for he was a mastiff.
"Why don't you take your tail out of the puddle?" asked the comfortable‐looking dog.
Towser gave it a feeble little splutter in the mud: he didn't know why he let it hang there, except that he was miserable.
"Starve you over at your house?" inquired the comfortable dog.
"No," said Towser, "there are dishes of bones and nice little bits of fat in the kitchen."
"Other dogs bite you?"
"No." Towser shook his head.page: 114
"Have to sleep out in the cold?"
"No, I've got a house," said Towser.
"You're a nice gentlemanly‐looking little dog; you oughtn't to be unhappy. What's the matter?" asked the comfortable‐looking dog.
"I'm not any good," said Towser.
The big dog didn't comprehend.
"I want someone to love me," said Towser; "I want to help somebody; I want to be of use."
"Love!" said the big dog. "Did you ever smell it?"
"No," said Towser.
"Or see anybody eat it?"
"Or sleep on it?"
"Then what use is it?" said the big dog; and he went away.
Shortly after that Towser got up off the stone, and took his little tail out of the mud. He shook his little ears and let the two drops run off his nose.
"I'll go and seek for someone that needs me," said Towser; and so he started on his travels.
"I must look as pleasant as I can," said Towser, as he went down the street; and he perked up his little ears. He really was a pretty terrier, with long page: 115 silky hair. Presently he saw a boy walking on the pavement. He was ragged, he looked as if he hadn't had any dinner or breakfast either. Towser's heart ached for him. He looked very lonely.
"I'm sure he would like a nice little dog like me to be a companion to him," said Towser. "Yes, he wants me; I won't trouble him for food, because everyone gives me something when I go to the back doors, because of my big eyes."
So Towser began dancing a little dance of affection, shaking his ears and looking from under them with his round eyes. This proceeding was meant to say, "I want to love you."
"Doggy, Doggy, Doggy!" said the little solitary boy, standing still and holding out his fingers; "Doggy, Doggy, Doggy."
So Towser came close up, just curling into a ball with excitement. He didn't know whether he should lick the little boy's hands first or his feet.
"There!" said the little boy. He gave Towser a powerful kick on the tip of his black nose.
When he looked back, Towser was standing quite still, with a great singing in his ears. Then the little lonely boy laughed.
When the singing had left off, Towser trotted away down the street. He wasn't so ready to caper now. He saw several little lonely boys as he passed, but he didn't think they wanted him.page: 116
At last he got to the outskirts of the town. There was a bonny little house with roses and creepers all round. He went to the back door and put his fore‐feet on the step, and looked in to see if there was anybody wanted him. A lady lay on a sofa in one corner; she had not walked for ten years, and her eyes were heavy with pain.
"Dear little creature, where do you come from?" she said.
Towser made a motion with his fore‐feet, to explain that he would come in if he were invited.
The lady said, "Come in," and he sat down on the rug before her and the lady felt his ears.
"Beautiful ears," she said, "come!"
Towser jumped up on to the sofa beside her.
"I never saw such large eyes," said the lady. "Dear little dog, if I can I shall keep you for my own," and she made a place for him on her chest.
He lay with his paw close to her chin, and looked as loving as he could. Presently he licked her chin, and she said he had a soft little tongue. When her lunch came she fed him with brandy and egg out of a spoon. He didn't like it, it burnt his throat, but he drank it.
"She wants me awfully, I can just see that," said Towser, "and I'll stay with her as long as I live."
The lady had him taken to her bedroom that night, and a nice little rug laid for him across the foot of page: 117 her bed. In the night, when she woke to cough, he walked up to her face and licked it, and she covered him with the blankets till there was just the tip of his black nose sticking out.
"The big, comfortable dog said love was nothing, but it's something," said Towser, "and it's nice "; and he put his little muzzle against her cheek. Next day he danced before her, and tried to catch his tail when she looked sad.
"Oh, I'm a dear, nice, happy little dog; she does love me so. She couldn't live without me; I'm such a comfort to her," said Towser. He wished he'd been six months younger, then he'd have six months more to live.
So weeks passed.
One afternoon a lady came in.
"I've brought Nola home," she said, "so much better for her change to the sea‐side; here she is." And the lady put down on the floor the most snow‐white terrier (Towser was brown), all soft with curls, and with little sleepy eyes.
"She looks better," said the lady—"dear Nola."
Nola climbed quietly up on the sofa and curled herself up in a little nest and shut her eyes.
Towser stood looking on. He thought he would jump on the sofa, too.
"Down, Towser, down!" said the lady.
Then Towser went and got behind the crimson page: 118 curtain, with only his nose and two bright eyes peeping out. At last tea‐time came, and there was a dish of milk put down on the floor. Nola got off the sofa and went to drink some; Towser came out, and put his little black muzzle in too. As soon as the curly white one saw it, she lifted her pink nose, and got quietly back on the sofa.
"Nola won't drink with Towser," said the lady; "take him to the kitchen and give him a nice basin of milk with plenty of cream on it."
Then Nola got off the sofa again; but Towser wouldn't go to the kitchen. He got behind the curtain and looked out with his great saucers of eyes.
"It'll be bed‐time soon, and I am sure she is wanting me badly to lick her chin. I'm sure she is wishing it was bed‐time," said Towser.
"Make a comfortable bed for Towser in the kitchen, and be sure it's nice and soft," said the lady.
Towser wouldn't get into the bed; he sat on the stone looking at the fire. He wondered if a coal had got into his heart. He felt so wicked.
"I wonder what is the matter with Towser," said the lady the next day; "he used to be such a nice little dog, always so lively."
Then Towser got up, and began dancing about after his tail, and then he got on the sofa, and began playing with the lady's fingers and rings. Then the page: 119 white curly one opened her eyes slowly and got oil the sofa.
"Nola, Nola, come here! Down, Towser, down!" said the lady.
Then Towser went out in the garden and sat in the gravelled path looking up at the sun. I don't know how he felt.
"Towser's such a nice little dog" said the lady one day; "quite the nicest little dog I've ever seen. I wish I could get someone to take him away; some‐one who would be kind to him."
Now Towser, didn't wait to be given away to a very kind person. I fancy he had a pain at his heart. He put his tail close between his hind legs, and went out at the back door.
Towser sat alone in a wood. He leaned his head on a stone at his side. He was thinking; you could see that by his big, round eyes.
"I made somebody happy, that's a great comfort," said he (for all that there were tears running down his nose). "I must be happy; I must think I once made somebody happy "—here his little chest swelled out immensely. "It doesn't matter if you're not loved if only you've made somebody happy. Yes, I won't want to be loved any more, I'll just try to page: 120 help people, and then I'll be happy too. You mustn't want to be loved; just to be good."
So he took his head off the stone and went trotting away through the wood. Presently he saw a country boy before him carrying a flitch of bacon; not long after from the bushes at the path‐side burst a gipsy‐looking fellow.
After a minute, the rough fellow said to the boy, "Give me your bacon."
Said the boy, "No."
The man said, "I can make you; there is nobody near."
He took hold of the bacon; the boy began to struggle. He knelt upon the boy. Then every hair upon Towser's little body stood on end, and his tail was stiffened out. He forgot he was Towser, he forgot he wanted to be loved, he forgot everything, and flew at the trousers of the gipsy man. Then the gipsy man thought there was someone coming, ran away, and left the boy and the bacon.
Towser stood in the middle of the path barking furiously. He was in great excitement.
Slowly the country fellow got up; his face was purple with rage. He cut a little stick from the bush growing by; it wasn't thicker than his finger; Towser's backbone was not thicker either.
"So, you stand here barking at me, do you?" said the country fellow. "Why don't you go after page: 121 your master? You want to bite me! do you? do you? do you?"
Towser thought his little backbone would be broken, and when the stick hit his little skull it was terribly sore. The country fellow held him fast with one hand; he was so small he wasn't much to hold, and beat him on his little fore‐feet, and in his eye; then he took up his bacon, and walked away.
Towser went into the brushwood close by, and sat down on his tail and lifted his nose to the sky. The one eye was shut up, but the other was wide open, and the water running out of it.
If he ever went home and became a comfortable, respectable dog, I don't know; the last I saw of him he was sitting there in that wood.

Did a math teacher ever tell you to check your work? If you're adding numbers, that means repeating the calculation to see if you get the same answer the second time. If you get the same result twice, then the answer is probably correct. But if you get a different answer the second time, at least one of the results must be incorrect. Then you have to add the numbers a third time and hope that the third answer will agree with one of the other two.
Scientists also have to "check their work." The results of an investigation are not likely to be well accepted unless the investigation is repeated—usually many times—and the same result is always obtained. Getting the same result when an experiment is repeated is called replication. If research results can be replicated, it means they are more likely to be correct. Repeated replication of investigations may turn a hypothesis into a theory. On the other hand, if results cannot be replicated they are likely to be incorrect.
Why Replication Is Important in Science: An Example
The following example shows why replication is important in science. In 1998, a British researcher published an article in a medical journal reporting that he had found a link between a common childhood vaccine and autism (see Figure below). According to the article, children in his study developed autism soon after receiving the vaccine. Following publication of the article, many parents refused to have their children vaccinated. Several epidemics occurred as a result, and some children died of the diseases.
This child is receiving a vaccine.
Soon after the original study was published, other researchers tried to replicate the research. However, it could not be replicated. No other studies could find a link between the vaccine and autism. As a result, scientists became convinced that the original results were incorrect. Eventually, investigators determined that the original study was a fraud. They learned that its author had received a large amount of money to find evidence that the vaccine causes autism, so he faked his research results. If other scientists had not tried to replicate the research, the truth might never have come out. You can read more about this case at the URL below.
- Getting the same result when an experiment is repeated is called replication. If research results can be replicated, it means they are more likely to be correct.
- Replication is important in science so scientists can "check their work." The result of an investigation is not likely to be well accepted unless the investigation is repeated many times and the same result is always obtained.
- replication: Getting the same results when an investigation is repeated.
Scientists often repeat their own experiments to see if they can replicate the result. These repeated experiments are called trials. At the following URL, read about the repeated trials in an investigation involving crows. Be sure to watch the movies showing the crows during different trials. After reading the article and seeing the movies, answer the questions below.
- Why were repeated trials done in this experiment?
- Why might other researchers in other labs try to replicate the results?
- What is replication?
- Why is replication important in science?
- Scientists do not try to replicate every investigation, but some are repeated many times. For example, many researchers tried to replicate the vaccine-autism study described above. Why do you think so much effort was made to replicate this particular study? What was the outcome of the additional research?

Built by George Washington's sister, Betty Washington Lewis, and her husband, Fielding Lewis, this Georgian-style, brick mansion reflects the pre-Revolutionary-War wealth and status of the Fredericksburg merchant. A visit to Kenmore starts in the Crowninshield Museum building (just to the left of the front gate). A new introductory exhibit, The Patriots Lewis: What Would You Give, with accompanying hands-on activities for children, tells this powerful narrative through key pieces from the Foundation's collection of 18th-century furniture and decorative arts. A comprehensive refurnishing of the mansion is ongoing, and period furniture and interior details increasingly offer a descriptive setting for this historic story. The 45-minute tour includes the first floor of the house and kitchen dependency. Gardens and grounds may be enjoyed by visitors at their leisure. Visit kenmore.org for a list of special events and programs.

A really serious question here before you flame I do own and use guns almost daily 7 months a year. I might even carry the other 5.
Question why do you want an AR?
Don't give me flip answers and don't incriminate yourself NSA is watching beyond a doubt.
If I were target shooting I like the most accurate I can get. MOA works just fine for me.
If I am sport hunting I want a 1 shot kill.
I am seriously trying to find out the motivation.

Family: Scombridae, Mackerels view all from this family
Description The Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), is a pelagic schooling species of mackerel found on both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean. The species is also called Boston mackerel, or just mackerel.
The Atlantic Mackerel is by far the most common of the ten species of the family that are caught in British waters. It is extremely common in huge shoals migrating towards the coast to feed on small fish and prawns during the summer.
Abundant in cold and temperate shelf areas, it forms large schools near the surface. They overwinter in deeper waters but move closer to shore in spring when water temperatures range between 11° and 14° C.
In north-east Atlantic: North Sea (east) and British Isles (west). The North Sea stock decreased dramatically in the 1960s because of direct overfishing.
Male and female Atlantic mackerel grow at about the same rate, reaching a maximum age of about 20 years and a maximum fork length of about 47 centimetres (19 in). Most Atlantic mackerel are sexually mature by the age of three years.
Dimensions Up to 22" (56 cm).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Eastern Canada.

A 500-gallon cylindrical tip tank is capable of flushing dairy free-stall alleys up to 10 feet wide and 40 feet long. Wider areas may be flushed, but they may need two or more tanks discharged simultaneously. Longer alleys may be flushed with larger volumes of water.
The tip tank is a horizontal cylinder. Water is discharged through an opening in the side. The tank pivots around its central axis, which is an axle extending through the side of the tank and resting on pillow blocks at both ends. The tank is dumped manually, since the dairy operator probably will be near the tank as often as it needs to be dumped (usually twice a day).
Construction details are given for a tank with a capacity of about 500 gallons. Smaller tanks could be constructed in a similar manner. Tanks as large as 1,000 gallons may need some internal bracing.
Start with a cylindrical tank of the size you want. You may be able to acquire tanks with the discharge opening. If not, the first construction step is to cut the discharge opening in the tank.
The discharge opening should be large enough so that it does not restrict water flow from the tank. Opening widths equal to 0.4 times the diameter of the tank should work well. When cutting the opening in the tank, take care that it runs parallel to the horizontal axis of the tank and doesn't corkscrew around the tank. You can do this by using the seam of the cylinder as a reference line. Then cut the edges of the opening an equal distance on both sides of the reference line so that the total opening width equals 0.4 times the diameter of the tank (Figure 1).
Figure 1Measuring for tank opening and center of tank.
The end of the opening should stop 1-1/2 inches from the end of the tank to save the structural strength of the corner edge of the tank. Reinforcing strips 1-1/2 inches wide should be left at 2-foot intervals in the opening to keep the hole edges from spreading too much when the tank is full. This interval will depend somewhat on tank length.
After the discharge opening is cut, weld some bracing along the lip on either side of the opening to prevent buckling. Tanks of 300 gallons or less capacity may not need bracing, depending on tank material weight and the ratio of tank length to tank diameter.
Angle iron bracing (1-3/4 by 1-3/4 by 3/16-inch) has been used successfully in 500-gallon tanks. Pipe that is 1-1/4 inches would offer about the same bracing strength as the angle iron and could be used if it is easier to get.
The next step is to install the axle in the tank. Find the center of the tank by measuring around it, starting at the reference line used as the center of the discharge opening. Mark the point exactly opposite the seam or reference line, which is one-half the way around the tank. Draw a diameter line across the end of the tank connecting this mark and the reference line at the top of the tank. Similarly measure a distance around the tank on both sides of the reference line equal to a fourth the circumference of the tank. Connect these two points with another diameter line across the end of the tank. The intersection of these two diameter lines is the geometric center of the tank. Do this for both ends.
The axle on the tank in Figure 1 is a 1-foot length of 1-1/2-inch cold rolled steel welded into each end of a length of 1-1/2-inch pipe. The hole for the axle in either end of the tank should be cut large enough for the 1-1/2-inch pipe. A large washer 6 inches in diameter and 3/8-inches thick should be welded to the outside of the tank and around the axle to distribute the stress over a larger area on the end of the tank. Axles made entirely of pipe, with pipe bearings, have been used successfully for tanks with up to 300 gallons capacity.
The frame that supports the tank may be made of angle iron or pipe. The frame for the tank in Figure 2 is constructed from 2 by 2 by 1/4-inch angle; however, 2-inch pipe also could be used for the frame. Install a lock to hold the tank in the upright position, as shown in Figure 2, and weld a handle to the edge of the tank to make dumping easier.
Wider areas may be flushed by placing two or more tanks end-to-end and connecting the axles so that all tanks dump simultaneously.
The dimensions and instructions given are intended primarily to introduce the manually dumped cylindrical tip tank. Some adjustments in material selection, construction technique, etc., may make tank construction in your situation easier.

July Top Notch Teacher
ONALASKA, Wis. -- Every day, teachers are met with the challenge of getting through to kids with all different learning styles. And some say bonding with every student isn't possible. But one Onalaska teacher isn't buying that.
"I believe that I need to find a way to love all my children. And to do that I have to find out something about them, I have to show some interest in them," said Kate Mayer, July's Top Notch Teacher.
Kate Mayer didn't grow up dreaming of becoming a teacher... if fact she planed on becoming nurse. When Ms. Mayer realized nursing wasn't for her... she opted for teaching.103820
"As soon as I started, I instantly loved it, it was a wonderful match."
Ms. Mayer has been teaching for the last 38 years and is currently making quite an impact at Irving Pertsch Elementary School in Onalaska teaching 4th and 5th graders.
"What have you learned from Ms. Mayer? Um, she teaches us how to be good people," said Zoe de Boer, Student of Ms. Mayer.
"I think she makes us feel all like a big family," said Collin Rose, Student of Ms. Mayer.
Although, students aren't the only ones who benefit from spending time in Ms. Mayer's classroom. Ms. Mayer says they teach her.
Whether students are presenting Ms. Mayer with new challenges or a good laugh, every day in her classroom is different. When it comes to hitting the books, it's anything but boring.
"Even when we read the word problems and they draw out the things, they draw everything now so they show how it works. They'll read their problems in funny voices."
"We bring a lot of humor into math, the kids really like math a lot."
They also like Ms. Mayer a lot. And that feeling is mutual.
Ms. Mayer says that, "All their stories just keep me going."
Mayer teaches multi-age students.
She says by mixing two different age groups, students are able to develop and learn at their own pace.

Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Green Building Demonstration Project - City of Fresno
The City of Fresno made a big step towards a greener city with the February 26th unveiling of their Green Building Demonstration Project. Approximately seventy designers, builders and community leaders attended the grand opening event that took place at one of the six, single-family affordable homes scattered throughout the city. The project, which was funded by grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Housing and Urban Development incorporated alternative building methods such as solar energy, energy efficient appliances, structurally insulated panels, and many other green building features.
The grant from the EPA was funded under the Resource Conservation Fund, a grant program supporting resource reduction, reuse and recycling. This grant supported the research and analysis of the demonstration project, specifically that green buildings have comparable construction costs to conventional buildings, use significantly less energy, can be constructed with a large reduction of the waste stream and appeal to home-buyers from all income levels. The final report and findings will be distributed widely to nonprofit groups, local governments and proponents of affordable, sustainable housing.

Lambert and Hugh Ramsay lived near to each other in studios in the Boulevard Saint-Jacques in the Latin Quarter of Paris, south of the Seine. Their studios were little more than a combined sitting room, bedroom and studio, with a fuel stove in one corner to cook their meals and to heat the room. Ramsay passed many evenings in the Lamberts' apartment where Lambert's wife, Amy, happily provided Ramsay with home-cooked dinners and darned his socks. Lambert probably made this drawing in Ramsay's studio, as the chest of drawers and sculpted mask behind the figure in this drawing also appear in Ramsay's self-portrait, Portrait of artist standing before easel c.1901 (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne).
In 1905 Lambert used this drawing as the basis for a Bulletin illustration. In the Bulletin drawing, he gave the man a beard and included a woman standing behind the man with her hands on his shoulders. It was an illustration to Will Ogilvie's poem,
'A Christmas gift':
A pendant of opal or pearl,
A bangle, a locket, a fan,
The things that are dear to the heart
of a girl
That occur to the mind of a man, -
These are gifts for the friends that are nearest,
But crowned with the rose and the rue,
And worn with memory's dearest,
I have only some verses for you!
You loved what I wrote as a lover,
You loved it because it was mine,
And many a fault was passed over
For the heart-beat that hid in the line.
'Twas for YOU I attempted the greatest -
For YOU turned the best and the worst,
And for YOU I have fashioned the latest
Whose love bade me fashion the first!

Itching is a tingling or irritation of the skin that makes you want to scratch the affected area. Itching may occur all over the whole body or only in one location.
Itching may occur all over the whole body (generalized) or only in one location (localized).
There are many causes of itching, including:
Generalized itching may be caused by:
For persistent or severe itching, see your health care provider for a diagnosis and treatment instructions.
In the meantime, you can take some steps to help deal with the itch:
Call your doctor or nurse if you have itching and:
Most itching does not require medical evaluation. Look for an obvious cause of itching at home.
It is sometimes easy for a parent to find the cause of a child's itching. Looking closely at the skin will help you identify any bites, stings, rashes, dry skin, or irritation. Often the cause of itching is fairly obvious, such as a mosquito bite.
Have the itching checked out as soon as possible if it keeps returning and does not have an obvious cause, you have total body itching, or you have hives that keep returning. Unexplained itching may be a symptom of a disease that could be serious.
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms.

I hear that I should attach a capacitor of 0.1u
QuoteI hear that I should attach a capacitor of 0.1uThat sounds like a typical electrolitic capacitor value, which if used across the motor leads, would probably short out when the motor direction is changed.
Now to my mind 0.1uF does not sound like a typical electrolytic capacitor. It sounds like it is non polarised capacitor which should be fine and not stop anything from working.
