Welcome Agenor..............
Welcome Agenor..............
Big time Cali Fin Fan ...... Go to every game when fins come to Cali , I've been to Miami dolphins Home games long time Fan patiently waiting to get back to the good old dayZ!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Hi all, Finnish fan here (ain't Finland the perfect country for a finfan?).
Started getting into football because of my dad who worked for Ohio State University a looong time ago. Well eventually that led me to play Madden -> had to decide favorite team -> choce Dolphins because of the respectable stats (it was Madden 2004) and the badass logo (which means I'm terribly scared of that logo change they're planning). Anyway, I've been following NFL and the Fins for a couple of years now and I'd like to know more about how the other fans feel about this franchise and where we're going so I'm trying to activate myself in this forum too.
Hello..lifelong Dolphins fan here. My name is Corey and I'm from South Carolina. I'm ready to get back to our winning ways - year in and year out! I've lurked on these forums for several years and have finally registered. Looking forward to it! GO PHINS!
Welcome to our newest members................
It's been a long time coming, but I am finally home.
I'm going to be up front with you guys, that way we can all get to know each other well and have some fun. When I was a kid, I LOVED my Dolphins. Dan Marino was my absolute favorite player, I lived and died with him. I'm from New York, and this was before the internet was something that was at your fingertips in your home, so keeping up with the team was tough to do, aside from SportsCenter and National Broadcasts. Regardless, I loved the team. When Dan Marino announced he was retiring, I begged my parents (die hard Jets Fans), to take me to the game. It was Saturday night, and my dad told me he didn't get the tickets. I cried like a baby, not ashamed of it even at the age of 13. My parents walked into my room and said, "Damnit, you couldn't have NOT made us feel awful. This was your surprise tomorrow morning, but you're getting it now. You happy?" Tickets. I was overjoyed. Even though they lost the game, I was thrilled that I was finally able to see Dan, my hero, play.
When Dan retired, my parents said, "Well, you're hero isn't playing anymore. You can give up this Dolphins crap now and root with the rest of the family." The truth of the matter is, I did start to root with the family. My parents had gotten Jets Season Tickets after that season, and we ended up going to the games every week with friends and other family. With no Dan, there was no coverage of the Fins here. The National Broadcasts slowed, and there was no NFL Network. I wasn't old enough to go to a bar to watch the games. After all, I was 14 for God's Sake. It was hard not to be a part of that family tradition. I'm sure many of you raised your kids as fin fans, and many of you younger fans were taught by your parents how to root for em. Like I said, we went to a lot of games, but in the 6 years we had season tickets, I never went to see them play the Dolphins. I never wanted to root against something that was so important to me as a kid.
Well, as a young adult, things are different. We got rid of our tickets after the Jets Organization greedily asked us for $40,000 in PSLs for our seats in the new stadium. My parents have grown disgusted with the drive to New Jersey, and have decided to no longer go to the games. I for myself had gotten tired of the lack of desire in the front office, and it was this year that I decided to go back to my roots. Sometimes when you're a kid, you don't understand what it is to be committed to something like this. I have no regrets. I have wonderful memories with my mother and father, and that can't be traded for anything. I appreciate all they did for me. Now that I am older, I have started to reflect on some of the things that made me so happy in my life, and the Miami Dolphins were one of those things. I suppose with the way the world is today, we're all looking for happiness wherever we can find it. I found it in the Fins as a kid, and I found it in them again this year.
If you're still here, thanks for reading this long winded post. I wanted to be open and honest with all of you, and let you all know where I'm from and what I am about. I'm happy to be home, and I can't wait to get to know you guys! I hope you can forgive me, lol.

Amazing Ocean Coho Fishing Awaits Us
The early reports from Alaska and BC are poiting towards an amazing coho season filled with lots of big fish.
I hear reports from Sitka daily (where I will be the first week and a half in August) and the coho fishing has been amazing. 50 fish days for 4 rods have been common and the amazing part is the average size of the fish-10 to 13 pounds with 15 pound fish being caught daily. Given that these fish put on an average of a pound a week, the middle of August should see these fish pushing an average size of 20 pounds.
...and this leads to where I come in. :) I will be up in Sitka the 3rd of August through the 13th to deckhand but I will also get my share of fishing in. Big coho have been seen crashing the surface everywhere and most people are jigging at an average of 30 feet. Since many on this board have alot more experience then I do when it comes to this type of fishing I want some tips, tricks and any secret flies you wouldnt mind letting me in on.
Ive got the basic techniques down but was just intrested in some tricks that might help me out. Thanks!!
BTW-I am running three differnt groups and one group of 4 cancelled because a family problem came up so if anyone get get together a group of 4, I will be decking for that trip. $1300/person for 4 nights, 3 days of fishing, includes everything except airfare and dinners.
Anyways any tips tricks and fly info would be appreciated. THANKS!!
You have no idea how badly I am jonesin' to do this trip! The price w/ airfare is a little out of my league this year, but man that would be incredible. Maybe we'll get a sponsor to help cover costs for me and a lucky member to experience this! Yeah, that's the ticket! <VBG>
Seriously, I have a lot of info from years of saltchuck salmon on a fly that has yet to be put together into an article, but this gives me a good reason to put it together...
Its great being being young, footloose and fancy-free enough to head out on an excellent adventure such as the one Ryan is about to embark upon. Record it well for future memories.
Our local Washington South Sound newspaper reported the following fishing report (paraphrased) yesterday, 7/4/01. I thought it might be the needed catalyst to get Juro to write that article on "Saltchuck Salmon On A Fly." ;)
- Charter Captain out of Ilwaco says salmon fishing has been "fantastic" since the 7/1 opener...Chinook to 37lbs, but typically 12-15lbs. Coho mostly 5-6lbs. Good fishing at Buoy 1...boats return early with limits.
- Charter operator out of Westport reports fishing is "...excellent, couldn't be any better...most boats back by mid-day..." half coho (6-7lbs), half kings (mid teens.)
- Neah Bay resort operator reported 8,670lbs of halibut, 137 chinook and 830 coho caught Sunday, 7/1...similar numbers for Monday, 7/2. Lots of kings 18-20lbs with a few 25-30lbs. Coho averaging 6lbs with several up to 8lbs. He says he says he thinks the 1,700 king quota will be met very quickly resulting in a short season..."people who know how to catch them are catching them left and right...."
- Resort operator at Seiku says fishing started out slow but got better by Tuesday, 7/3. Coho 4-10lbs, chinook to 35lbs. Lots of limits and pink salmon starting to show as well.
- A popular sports center in Lynwood reported the North Sound to be slow although several chinook to 29lbs have been taken.
- A boathouse operator in Tacoma says fishing at Pt. Defiance has slowed since the heavy minus tides. Chinook 8-22lbs are being taken but you've got to work for them.
- Marina operator around Johnson's Point in the South Sound reports a few chinook coming in from around Anderson and Ketron Islands in the 6-12lbs range.
I live in the Gig Harbor area...yesterday looked like an extension of the Point Defiance Zoo at the Clay Banks....seems as though most folks believe that's the only place in the Sound to catch fish. Easily 100 boats out there when I came back in at 10:00 a.m. I chose, instead, to launch at "0-dark-thirty" and FF my way along the shores of Colvoss Passage around Point Dalco and then over to Point Evans...C&R'd 3 decent resident coho along the way and LDR'd a blackmouth that hit at Point Dalco in about 60 feet of water (LC-13 and a white/peacock Clouser - #2 hook) - unpinned 3 minutes into the battle. I had a good time fishing it my way without crowds! Eagerly looking forward to those big ocean fish working their way down here. By then, I actually might know what I'm doing. :)
This is going to be a killer year for salmon in the PNW. but have heard a Biolgists repot of massive Amts of sea lice incrusting a lot of the salmon returning now into our Northern waters. This is similar to European reports on damage caused by the Salmon Farming Industry?
I have never seen so many sealice on striped bass on the atlantic either...
Sitka is a trip you will have to make sometime in your lifetime. The captain I am decking for is good freinds with my boss and although he is one of the best captains in the Sitka area he has little experience with the bug rod.
If you are serious about a world class salmon fishing trip on the fly check out www.anglingunlimited.com. Tom Ohaus is a well known author and used to be the best charter captain there was in Wa. State untill he moved up north years back to still do what he loves. He runs a first class operation and has the likes of JD Love as captains. He specializes in motor mooching herring but is the area expert on fishing the Sitka area with the flyrod for both coho and kings. It isn't uncommon for the jiggers to catch kinds at depths of only 30 ft...between 4 guys on a boat, 80 kings to the boat isnt uncommon and many of these fish are caught in 30 to 60 feet of water. These fish are reachable with the flyrod.
Its the best salwater salmon fishing in the world. One of these days I would love to travel up there in the middle of June with only my flyrod in hand...one of these days. :)

Does the Internet boost freedom? We decide, book says
The Internet doesn't bring freedom. Not automatically, anyway.
That's one of the main messages of Rebecca MacKinnon's new book, Consent of the Networked, which had its New York launch at the offices of the New America Foundation last night. In a conversation with CNN managing editor Mark Whitaker, MacKinnon, a CPJ board member, said it's up to concerned citizens, governments, and corporations to make decisions about how the Internet is used. She contrasted the Twitter-powered revolt in Egypt last year with the "networked authoritarianism" of China, where corporations are collaborators in a system designed to preserve Communist Party rule.

- Meridian Arts Ensemble
Known internationally as a conductor of his own work, Witold Lutoslawski (b. Warsaw 1913) has also enjoyed a career as a pianist. He has taught and lectured on composition at Tanglewood, Dartmouth College and Copenhagen Conservatory. The composer has also won numerous prizes for his works, ranging from the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde of Vienna to the International Koussevitsky Prize. Lutoslawski is perhaps best known for his ability to exercise creativity within a high level of discipline. Lutoslawski's list of compositions include orchestral, vocal and chamber settings. Mini Overture was written and dedicated to Philip Jones and his wife Ursula. Paul Hindemith's Morgenmusik (Morning music) is the opening work from the composer's collection "Ploner Musiktag" (day of music at Plon), a series of instrumental and choral pieces written in 1932 for performance by students at a festival of youth in northern Germany. These pieces are among the final works in Hindemith's catologue of Gebrauchsmusik (literally "utility music"), a term coined by Hindemith to describe music that was to be performed for a specific purpose, rather than the more common idea of "art for art's sake". This work evokes the traditional style of Renaissance brass playing, having been performed from the top of a tower to herald the opening of the day's festivities. Morgenmusik is made up of three contrasting movements, the second of which is supposed to be played twice (as noted in the score). Because this work consists of chordal and contrapuntal texture, the musicians may explore in their performance qualities of the well known fanfare or clarion style, as well as a more singing and vocal approach. There is no specified instrumentation for Morgenmusik: there were numerous performers for each part when played in 1932. For this performance, the tuba doubles with the trombone on the bass part, resting in sections which lend themselves to a thinning of vertical texture. Born in 1920 in Erevan, Armenia, Alexander Arutiunian is one of the best known and highly esteemed composers of the Soviet Union. He studied composition and piano at the Komitas Conservatory in the city of his birth and later pursued further composition studies with H. Litinsky in Moscow. He currently directs the composition class at the Erevan State Conservatory....

Since its founding at the Juilliard School in 1987, the Meridian Arts Ensemble has quickly established itself as one of America's finest young brass quintets through a series of four major competition wins in a span of under one year. In 1990, the Meridian Arts Ensemble won First Prize of the Concert Artists Guild New York Competition, becoming the first chamber ensemble in six years to win the distinction. In 1989, the Ensemble won first Prizes at both the Chamber Music Chicago Discovery Competition and the New York Brass Conference Quintet Competition, and was a winner of the Artists International Auditions. With a repertory spanning six centuries, the Ensemble has won special acclaim for its performances of works by contemporary American composers, including Alvin Etler, Jan Bach, Otto Leuning, David Sampson, and John Stevens; they have also premiered works by Albert Ahlstrom, Peter Robles, Carolyn Steinberg, and Joan Panetti.

Radiation enteritis is inflammation of the intestines that occurs after radiation therapy.
Radiation enteritis causes diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps in people receiving radiation aimed at the abdomen, pelvis or rectum. Radiation enteritis is most common in people receiving radiation therapy for cancer in the abdomen and pelvic areas.
For most people, radiation enteritis is temporary and the inflammation usually subsides several weeks after treatment ends. But for some, radiation enteritis may continue long after treatment ends or may develop months or years after treatment.
Chronic radiation enteritis can cause complications such as anemia and partial bowel obstruction.
Treatment typically focuses on relieving signs and symptoms until the inflammation heals. In severe cases, tube feeding or surgery to remove sections of the intestine may be necessary.

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby out of hospitalAP , Associated Press
Apr. 2, 2013 1:56 PM ET
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is out of the hospital after breaking his jaw Saturday.
The Penguins confirmed on their Twitter account Tuesday that Crosby had been released a day earlier. He will be out of the lineup indefinitely after undergoing surgery.
Crosby was hurt in the first period of the Penguins' 2-0 win over the New York Islanders when he was struck in the mouth by a puck from a deflected shot.
The Eastern Conference-leading Penguins, with 15 straight wins, play their first game without Crosby on Tuesday night at home against Buffalo.

Question to the group,
My 3 year old BLF sprained her left ankle, the injury happened 17 days ago. I promptly took her to the vet at the time of the incident, x rays were taken and she was diagnosed with a severe to moderate sprain.
The swelling has gone down, she still favors her right leg, at times of excitement it is hard to keep her from running and jumping about, if you didn't know she was injured you wouldn't be able to tell.
I plan on taking back to the vet next Friday.
Has anyone had experience with sprains? I know injuries and healing differ from dog to dog but I'm trying to get an approximate timeline for the healing process. As stated it has been 17 days and I'm really missing working and training with her.

The development of the periodic table was largely based on elements that display similar chemical behavior. In the modern table, these elements are found in vertical columns called groups. In this lesson, you will see how the form of the periodic table is related to electron configurations, which in turn influences chemical reactivity.
Periods and Blocks
There are seven horizontal rows, or periods, on the periodic table. The length of each period is determined by electron capacity of the sublevels that fill during that period, as seen in Table below.
|Number of Elements in Period
|Sublevels in Order of Filling
|2s 2p
|3s 3p
|4s 3d 4p
|5s 4d 5p
|6s 4f 5d 6p
|7s 5f 6d 7p
Recall that the four different sublevels (s, p, d, and f) each consist of a different number of orbitals. The s sublevel has one orbital, the p sublevel has three orbitals, the d sublevel has five orbitals, and the f sublevel has seven orbitals. In the first period, only the 1s sublevel is being filled. Since all orbitals can hold two electrons, the entire first period consists of just two elements. In the second period, the 2s sublevel, with two electrons, and the 2p sublevel, with six electrons, are being filled. Consequently, the second period contains eight elements. The third period is similar to the second, except the 3s and 3p sublevels are being filled. Because the 3d sublevel does not fill until after the 4s sublevel, the fourth period contains 18 elements, due to the 10 additional electrons that can be accommodated by the 3d orbitals. The fifth period is similar to the fourth. After the 6s sublevel fills, the 4f sublevel is populated with up to 14 electrons. This is followed by the 5d and the 6p sublevels. The total number of elements in the sixth period is 32. The seventh period also contains 32 elements, most of which are too unstable to be found in nature. All 32 have been detected or synthesized, although for some of the later elements in this period, only a handful of atoms have ever been made.
The period to which a given element belongs can easily be determined from its electron configuration. As an example, consider the element nickel (Ni). Its electron configuration is [Ar]3d84s2. The highest occupied principal energy level is the fourth, as indicated by the 4 in the 4s2 portion of the configuration. Therefore, nickel can be found in the fourth period of the periodic table. Figure below shows a version of the periodic table that includes abbreviated electron configurations.
This periodic table shows the outer electron configurations of the elements.
Based on electron configurations, the periodic table can be divided into blocks denoting which sublevel is in the process of being filled. The s, p, d, and f blocks are illustrated below in Figure below.
A block diagram of the periodic table shows which sublevels are being filled at any point.
Figure above also illustrates how the d sublevel is always one principal level behind the period in which that sublevel occurs. In other words, the 3d sublevels fills during the fourth period. The f sublevel is always two levels behind. The 4f sublevel belongs to the sixth period.
Representative Elements
We will now examine each of these blocks in more detail. The s and p sublevels for a given principal energy level are filled during the correspondingly numbered period. For example, the 2s and 2p sublevels fill during the second period. The s-block elements and the p-block elements are together called the representative or main-group elements.
The s-block
The s-block consists of the elements in Group 1 and Group 2, which are primarily composed of highly reactive metals. The elements in Group 1 (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) are called the alkali metals. All of the alkali metals have a single s electron in their outermost principal energy. Recall that such electrons are called valence electrons. The general form for the electron configuration of each alkali metal is ns1, where the n refers to the highest occupied principal energy level. For example, the electron configuration of lithium (Li), the alkali metal of Period 2, is 1s22s1. This single valence electron is what gives the alkali metals their extreme reactivity. Figure below shows the element sodium.
Like all alkali metals, sodium is very soft. A fresh surface, which can be exposed by cutting the sample, exhibits a luster that is quickly lost as the sodium reacts with air.
All alkali metals are very soft and can be cut easily with a knife. Due to their high reactivity, they must be stored under oil to prevent them from reacting with oxygen or water vapor in the air. The reactions between alkali metals and water are particularly vigorous and include the rapid production of large quantities of hydrogen gas. Alkali metals also react easily with most nonmetals. All of the alkali metals are far too reactive to be found in nature in their pure elemental form. For example, all naturally occurring sodium exists as a compound, such as sodium chloride (table salt).
The elements in Group 2 (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium) are called the alkaline earth metals (see Figure below). These elements have two valence electrons, both of which reside in the outermost s sublevel. The general electron configuration of all alkaline earth metals is ns2. The alkaline earth metals are still too reactive to exist in nature as free elements, but they are less reactive than the alkali metals. They tend to be harder, stronger, and denser than the alkali metals, and they also form numerous compounds with nonmetals.
The alkaline earth metals include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium. Strontium and barium react with air and must be stored in oil.

Hydrogen and Helium
Looking at the block diagram (Figure above), you may be wondering why hydrogen and helium were not included in our discussion of the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal groups. Though hydrogen, with its 1s1 configuration, appears as though it should be similar to the rest of Group 1, it does not share the properties of that group. Hydrogen is a unique element that cannot be reasonably included in any single group of the periodic table. Some periodic tables even separate hydrogen's square from the rest of Group 1 to indicate its solitary status.
Helium has a configuration of 1s2, which would seem to place it with the alkaline earth metals. However, it is instead placed in Group 18 at the far right of the periodic table. The elements in this group, called the noble gases, are very unreactive because their outermost s and p sublevels are completely filled. Since it is part of the first period, helium does not have a p sublevel. Its filled 1s sublevel makes it very similar to the other members of Group 18.
The p-block
The p-block consists of the elements in groups 13-18. The p sublevel always fills after the s sublevel of a given principal energy level. Therefore, the general electron configuration for an element in the p-block is ns2np1-6. For example, the electron configuration of elements in Group 13 is ns2np1, the configuration of elements in Group 15 is ns2np3, and so on. The elements of Group 18 (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon) are called the noble gases. They are an especially important group of the periodic table because they are almost completely unreactive, due to their completely filled outermost s and p sublevels. As noted above, helium might at first seem to be out of place, because it has a configuration of 1s2 instead of the ns2np6 configuration that is characteristic of the other noble gases. However, because there are no 1p orbitals, helium also has a completely filled outermost energy level, which leads to the various chemical properties exhibited by the other noble gases. Note that the noble gases were not a part of Mendeleev's periodic table because they had not yet been discovered. In 1894, English physicist Lord Rayleigh and Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay detected argon as a small percentage of the atmosphere. Discovery of the other noble gases soon followed. The group was originally called the inert gases because they were believed to be completely unreactive and unable form compounds. However, beginning in the early 1960s, several compounds of xenon were synthesized by treating it with highly reactive fluorine gas. The name of the group was later changed to noble gases.
The number of valence electrons in elements of the p-block is equal to the group number minus 10. As an example, sulfur is located in Group 16, so it has 16 – 10 = 6 valence electrons. Since sulfur is located in period 3, its outer electron configuration is 3s23p4. In the older system of labeling groups, the representative elements are designated 1A through 8A. Using this system, the number of valence electrons is equal to the number preceding the letter A. Using the same example, sulfur is a member of Group 6A, so it has 6 valence electrons.
The properties of the p-block elements vary widely. The stair-step line separating metals from nonmetals runs through the p-block. As a result, this block includes 8 metals, all 7 metalloids, and all nonmetals except for hydrogen. Note that there is some variation among different periodic tables over how to classify the rare elements polonium and astatine. The metals of the p-block are much more stable than the s-block metals. Aluminum and tin are frequently used in packaging, and lead (Figure below) is used in car batteries, bullets, and radiation shields.
Lead blocks are used in radiation shielding.
The elements of Group 17 (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine) are called the halogens. The halogens all have the general electron configuration ns2np5, giving them seven valence electrons. They are one electron short of having full outer s and p sublevels, which makes them very reactive. They undergo especially vigorous reactions with the reactive alkali metals. In their pure elemental forms, chlorine and fluorine are gases at room temperature, bromine is a dark orange liquid, and iodine is a dark purple-gray solid. Astatine is so rare that its properties are mostly unknown.

Transition Elements
Transition elements are the elements that are found in Groups 3-12 on the periodic table. The d sublevel, which is in the process of being filled, is in a lower principal energy level than the s sublevel filled before it. For example, the electron configuration of scandium, the first transition element, is [Ar]3d14s2. Remember that the configuration is not written in the same order as the sublevels are filled; the 4s sublevel gets filled before electrons are placed into 3d orbitals. Because they are all metals, the transition elements are often called the transition metals (Figure below). As a group, they display typical metallic properties but are less reactive than the metals in Groups 1 and 2. Some of the more familiar transition metals are unreactive enough to be found in nature as pure elements, such as platinum, gold, and silver.
Silver (left) and chromium (right) are two typical transition metals.
Many transition elements make compounds that are distinctive for being vividly colored. Electron transitions that occur within the d sublevel absorb some of the wavelengths present in white light, and the wavelengths that are not absorbed are perceived by observers as the color of the compound (Figure below).
Transition metal compounds dissolved in water exhibit a wide variety of bright colors. From left to right are shown solutions of cobalt(II) nitrate, potassium dichromate, potassium chromate, nickel(II) chloride, copper(II) sulfate, and potassium permanganate.
The d-block
The transition elements found in Groups 3-12 are also referred to as the d-block, since the d sublevel is in the process of being filled. Since there are five d orbitals, each of which can accommodate two electrons, there are ten elements in each period of the d-block. The general electron configuration for elements in the d-block is (n - 1)d1-10ns2. The d sublevel being filled belongs to a principal energy level that is one lower than the s sublevel that has just been filled. For example, the configuration of zirconium (Zr) is [Kr]4d25s2. The group number can easily be determined from the combined number of electrons in the s and d sublevels. Zirconium is in Period 5 and Group 4. Recall that there are several deviations from the expected order of filling the d sublevel that cannot always be easily understood. The element cobalt (Co) is in Period 4 and Group 9. It has the expected electron configuration of [Ar]3d74s2. Directly below cobalt is the element rhodium (Rh). However, its configuration is [Kr]4d85s1, meaning that one of its 5s electrons has moved to the 4d sublevel. The total of nine electrons still allows you to predict that rhodium is a member of Group 9.
Because electrons in the d sublevel do not belong to the outermost principal energy level, they are not valence electrons. Most d-block elements have two valence electrons, which are the two electrons from the outermost s sublevel. Rhodium is an example of a transition metal with only one valence electron, because its configuration deviates from the expected filling order.
The f-block
The first of the f sublevels is the 4f sublevel. It fills after the 6s sublevel, meaning that f sublevels are two principal energy levels behind. The general electron configuration for elements in the f-block is (n - 2)f1-14ns2. The seven orbitals of the f sublevel can each accommodate two electrons, so the f-block is 14 elements in length. It is usually shown pulled out of the main body of the periodic table and is placed at the very bottom. Because of that, the elements of the f-block do not belong to any of the numbered groups; they are wedged in between Groups 3 and 4. The lanthanides are the 14 elements from cerium (atomic number 58) to lutetium (atomic number 71). Most lanthanides have a partially filled 4f sublevel. They are all metals and are similar in reactivity to the Group 2 alkaline earth metals.
The actinides are the 14 elements from thorium (atomic number 90) to lawrencium (atomic number 103). Most actinides have a partially filled 5f sublevel. The actinides are all radioactive elements, and only the first four have been found to occur naturally on Earth. All of the others have only been artificially made in the laboratory. The lanthanides and actinides together are sometimes called the inner transition elements.
Sample Problem 6.1: Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table
The electron configurations for atoms of four different elements are shown below. Without consulting the periodic table, name the period, group, and block in which each element is located. Determine the number of valence electrons for each. Then, using a periodic table, name the element and identify it as a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid.
- [Kr]4d105s25p3
- [Rn]5f77s2
- [Ar]4s2
- [Xe]4f145d66s2
Step 1: Plan the problem.
The period is the highest occupied principal energy level. The group is the vertical column. The block depends on which sublevel is in the process of being filled. The valence electrons are those in the outermost principal energy level. For name and type of element, use a periodic table.
Step 2: Solutions
- The highest occupied principal energy level is the fifth, so this element is in Period 5. By adding 10 + 2 + 3 from the given configuration, we can see that the element is in Group 15. Since the p sublevel is partially filled, it is in the p-block. There are five electrons in the outermost energy level, so it has 5 valence electrons. The element is antimony, a metalloid.
- The element is in Period 7. Since the f sublevel is partially filled, it is part of the f-block, which means it does not belong to a group. It has 2 valence electrons. The element is americium, a metal from the actinides.
- The element is in Period 4 and Group 2. Even though the 4s sublevel is filled, the last electron went into that sublevel, making it a member of the s-block. It has 2 valence electrons. The element is calcium, a metal.
- The element is in Period 6. In determining the group, the f electrons can be ignored since they do not affect groups. By adding 6 + 2 = 8, we can place the element in Group 8. The partially filled d sublevel makes it a member of the d-block. It has 2 valence electrons. The element is osmium, a metal (specifically, a transition metal).
Step 3: Think about your result.
Once you have identified each element, you can use the electron configurations from a periodic table to make sure they have been identified correctly.
- For each of the following, identify the period, group, and block. Determine the number of valence electrons. Identify the element by name and type (metal, nonmetal, or metalloid).
- [Kr]4d105s2
- [Ne]3s23p2
- For the two elements in problem 1 above, how many unpaired electrons are in the atom?
- Which two elements have 3 unpaired electrons in the 3d sublevel?

I had an old jack pine come down in a storm that I cut up and found that it has quite a bit of mineral staining in it, some reds and blue/gray colors through out the pine. Wasn't sure how good it would sound so I added a walnut top to it to give it a little higher pitched sound, figured it would be a flat dull sounding call being pine, but suprised me. It has a good clean deep hollow sound to it with good rasp. The striker is canary.
Thanks for lookin, Scott

The Pontotoc Warriors soccer team has nearly wrapped up its regular season goal.
Pontotoc has all but won the Division 2-4A regular season title. Amory would have to beat the Warriors by five in tonight's final regular season match to alter a likely 1-2 finish for the playoffs that begin on Tuesday.
First-place teams host a first-round match.
"We beat Tupelo at their place. That gave us a boost of confidence," Pontotoc coach Michael Loden said. "I think we're playing with a lot of confidence and we've been playing really well. If we're playing well, yes, I think we have the talent to make run at it. But anything can happen and you need a little luck."
The Warriors beat Tupelo 2-1 in the season's third game. Two of their three losses came to Class 6A contender Madison Central and 5A contender Starkville.
The Starkville loss came before Loden had his cross country runners back.
Once everyone joined the team, Loden said it made for a versatile bunch that has allowed his Warriors to gain advantages against different opponents.
"We've got a pretty balanced team. That has allowed us to have some flexibility to do some different things," Loden said. "We have several different formations."
The Warriors have wins against Petal and Oxford. The lone tie came against West Harrison in a tournament in Brandon.
tough defense
Pontotoc (14-3-1, 5-0) is led by several players, among them ICC signee Piercen Burchfield, Rafael Vidano and Diego Vizarro.
Burchfield is a sweeper, Loden says, who controls the back.
"Very few teams get past our defense just because of him," Loden said. "Fredy Gutierrez controls the midfield, Vidano, our leading scorer, plays forward.
"One thing about us is we are pretty versatile. We mix and match and do several different things when we have to. If we move Piercen to midfield, he can control the ball as well."

WASHINGTON – On foreign policy, President Barack Obama effectively posted a sign on the White House lawn last summer that said: Come back after Election Day. Now, the moment has arrived and the world's problems are lining up for Obama's attention.
To manage the global problems coming at him, Obama will have to make decisions of the sort he sometimes deferred during his first term. The time is over for the cautious (if often sensible) approach that was dubbed "leading from behind." Here's a look at some urgent global issues:
• China is the biggest opportunity and danger ahead. A new leadership headed by Xi Jinping is taking over, but the shaky transition reminds Chinese and foreigners alike of the instability beneath the country's glittering surface. Obama's response has been a "rebalancing" of military power toward Asia, but that's only half the answer; diplomacy may matter even more.
Harvard's Graham Allison suggests that Obama consider a version of what President John F. Kennedy called "precarious rules of the status quo" between the U.S. and the Soviet Union after the Cuban missile crisis. This involved regular dialogue about strategic interests, and an understanding that neither side would take provocative steps in the other's backyard. Obama should sponsor a similar dialogue with China's new leaders.
• Iran poses the biggest risk of war, and also the chance for a diplomatic breakthrough. Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and other would-be mediators have been floating trial balloons, but Obama wants confirmation that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei supports such proposals. The real negotiating may happen at the bilateral meeting both Tehran and Washington seem to want, which should happen sooner rather than later.
Allison argues that the U.S. and Israel should stop dreaming about an ideal agreement and prepare for an "ugly deal," like the one that ended the Cuban missile crisis. I agree with him that an acceptable "ugly" formula is one that verifiably stops Iran from having a bomb, and also from having the capability to break out toward weaponization faster than the U.S. can prevent it.
• Afghanistan is where bad news is almost certainly ahead. An October report by the Pentagon's special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction warned bluntly: "The Afghan government will likely be incapable of fully sustaining ANSF facilities after the transition in 2014."
The missing element is a political transition to accompany the military drawdown.
• The Middle East is where presidents make their legacies, and shed their tears. Obama faces three urgent problems: the metastasizing Syrian civil war, solidifying democracy in Egypt, and rehabilitating a broken Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
In dealing with Syria, Egypt and the Palestinian problem, Obama needs something that was too rare in the first term – a round of secret contacts to build up the local players.
The sign at the White House says: Reopening for business. But first some quiet talks, and some strategic thinking about leading from the front.

I read the eXtreme Programming book (Wiki:ExtremeProgrammingExplainedEmbraceChange) a while ago, and the part of XP that interests me most has been the unit testing stuff. But I couldn't get anybody else at work interested.
So now I'm working on a big, ugly Perl script (over 1,000 lines and still writing), and I decided to put unit tests into every class definition. Then I wrote some truly ugly code to find all the methods named "self_test" and execute them when the script starts up.
Well, hey, it works. I've got over 1,000 lines of working code, and I haven't had to debug anything that wasn't trivially easy to find and fix. In previous Perl projects, I've always gotten ensnared in bugs where a variable is supposed to be a ref, but it's actually a ref to a ref, or it's a ref to the wrong thing, or, ...
Perl's lack of encapsulation makes isolating the class under test easy -- if Foo::method requires a Bar as argument, I just pass in bless { }, 'Bar', instead of creating a real Bar.
Each selftest uses die to report errors. The "real" code uses Carp::croak pretty extensively.
Here's an example.
sub CvsDirEntry::self_test { my $de0 = CvsDirEntry->new(NAME => 'slug'); die unless $de0->name eq 'slug'; die unless $de0->path eq 'slug';
my $de1 = CvsDirEntry->new(NAME => 'grub'); $de1->set_parent(bless $de0, 'CvsDir'); die unless $de1->name eq 'grub'; die unless $de1->path eq 'slug/grub'; }
I'm not consistently writing the tests first (Wiki:CodeUnitTestFirst), but I'll get there...
eXtreme Programming and Windows
It seems like the vast majority of XP practitioners are Windows sharecroppers. Why is the intersection of XP and open source so small?
Apache is down again in this month's Netcraft survey. What gives?

Steppenblumen, Ernstes und Heiteres aus dem Leben
der Deutschen in Bessarabien (Prairie Flowers, Seriousness and Cheerfulness
from the Lives of Germans in Bessarabia)
Review by Arnold H. Marzolf, Professor Emeritus, NDSU, Fargo,
Knauer, Karl. Steppenblumen, Ernstes, und Heiteres aus dem Leben der Deutschen in Bessarabien (Prairie Flowers, Seriousness, and Cheerfulness from the Lives of Germans in Bessarabia). Stuttgart-Vaihinger, Germany: Verlag von Karl Scharr, 1954.
Part 1 in entitled "That's the Way a Swabian Is."
Part 2 covers "Land and People." Part 3 is entitled
"From Our Ethnic Life." Parts 1-3 consist mainly of
poems written in the Swabian dialect and some prose written in High
German. Most of these poems (and prose items) are written from a
Christian point of view and contain morals and spiritual instructions.
Part 4 presents "Two Plays for Mature Students" which
are about "Job" and "The Lost Son" in the
Bible. Part 5 give "A Brief Chronicle About the Community
Mariewka, 1892-1940."
Mariewka was a "daughter colony" of Tighina and consisted
of people (mostly farmers) from Sarata, Lightental and Borodino.
This chronicle gives many family names, describes schools and churches,
explains the economy and industries, and glorifies in its beautiful
customs, etc.
If you can read the Swabian dialect and if you are sympathetic
toward Christian values of 150 years ago, you will be blessed by
this book

Family: Pleuronectidae, Righteye Flounders view all from this family
Description The C-O sole, Pleuronichthys coenosus, is a flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is a demersal fish that lives on flat bottoms and rocky areas at depths of between 18 and 350 metres (59 and 1,150 ft). Its native habitat is the subtropical waters of the eastern Pacific, ranging from Sitka, Alaska in the north to San QuintÌn, Baja California in the south. It can grow up to 36 centimetres (14 in) in length.
The C-O sole gets its name from the markings on its caudal fin: a crescent shape and a ring, which resemble a letter C and a letter O.
The C-O sole is a right-eyed flatfish with large, bulbous eyes located near the tip of the snout. The upper surface is mottled light to dark brown, with occasional white spots; there is usually a prominent mid-body dark spot with a pale patch behind it. The underside is light. There is a dark crescent-shaped marking and a large dark spot on the caudal fin, which together resemble the letters "C-O".
Dimensions Up to 14" (36 cm).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

Growing stuff (vegies, open source projects, communities…)
The other week I posted from GUADEC, saying I'd been inspired to start an open source project to build a gardening website.
If I posted, "I planted tomatoes in my garden in Melbourne on the 1st of November" and everyone else did likewise, we'd wind up with an extensive database of food plants, including things like heirloom varieties and where to source them from. We could also build a histogram of the distributions of planting times for every location. Eventually, we could build in tools for sharing your harvest with your local community, saying eg. "I have a tree full of lemons, does anyone want them?" or facilitating seed-sharing and other community gardening activities.
I couldn't stop thinking about this over the next day or so, and I realised it's something I really want. Really really want. I want a resource that's like Ravelry, but with a focus on food gardening, especially the sustainable/organic/heirloom end of that scene. My perfect site would have a strong community committed to sustainability both in the green sense and in the sense of a successful online community. I'm also thinking of Dreamwidth as inspiration, especially with regard to its ethics and the way its developer community works. I'd definitely want this whole thing to be open source and community-built.
This project is now up and running, and has been active for about a month, so I thought it was about time to post an update.
What we have so far:
- Github — this is where our source code lives, along with most of our project management. Take a look at our dev branch for active development, also our wiki (note: moving to self-hosted soon) and issue tracker, especially this iteration's stories (see notes below on development process).
- Mailing list — most of our interaction happens here, strongly recommended to join if you want to take part in the development of the site. We need technical and non-technical people, coders and gardeners. If you're interested in having input into what Growstuff will be, you should probably be on this.
- Dreamwidth community/project blog — Dreamwidth and its inclusive development community are inspirations for Growstuff, and many of our contributors already have accounts there. The Dreamwidth community operates, to some extent, as the project's blog, and has an RSS feed you can follow if you don't already use Dreamwidth. It's low-traffic and often gets highlights and important points crossposted from the mailing list. Note that if you don't have a DW account you can still comment anonymously or using OpenID.
- IRC channel – realtime chat room for anyone interested in the project. If you are already familiar with IRC, it's #growstuff on irc.freenode.net, otherwise see the linked page for more information on connecting.
- Twitter — if you want to follow us for occasional updates on that platform.
- Server hosting with a provider that uses 100% renewable energy — geothermal, actually, as they're based in Iceland. This is part of our commitment to sustainability.
- Placeholder website on growstuff.org — there's nothing much there, but I link this so that if you want to tell people about it, it's somewhere to send them.
- License (AGPL3+) — Growstuff is free, open source software. Our license choice allows anyone to use or build on our work, but they must use the same license for what they do. Our data about crops, once we have the site up and running, will be under the roughly equivalent CC-BY-SA.
- Community guidelines — we wanted to get this in place from the start so everyone would know the groundrules. These apply to all project-related forums.
Most importantly, we already have a team of people who are working on building this thing. I wanted to talk briefly about our development process, because I think it's unusual. We're using an agile development methodology called Extreme Programming. XP consists of a collection of practices including:
- sustainable pace
- constant involvement of the customer (in our case, gardeners)
- simple design focused on present needs
- pair programming
- test-driven development
- continuous integration
- short release cycles
XP isn't often used by remote teams or by open source projects, but we're taking a shot at it because it's such a good fit with our community's goals. It's been a bit rocky trying to get things going at first, but we are currently in our second iteration, and as I am travelling around Europe (currently in London) I've had the opportunity to meet and pair-program with a few of our developers on different tasks. It's amazing how much more productive, and more fun, it's been to work on stuff with other people, especially as we're learning the development stack. This is my first "real" Rails project, though I've played with it before. If it weren't for pair programming, I would have been spending a lot of time pounding my head on my keyboard in frustration as I tried to figure out how everything fits together. For other contributors, it's their first open source project, or first time sysadmining, or first time writing unit tests, but since we have people who know all these things, we can use pair programming to help spread that knowledge around. For those who can't pair face to face, we make sure that the two people assigned to each story can work together online, co-ordinating via email and/or using tools like tmux and voice chat to share their work.
Right now, we'd love to more people to join us. If you have Rails experience (and experience with all the related technologies, like RSpec and Capistrano and so on) that would be great, but we'll also welcome inexperienced developers who are keen and want to learn, or non-developers who'd like to be involved by sharing their gardening knowledge and helping us understand what you'd want from a site like this.
If you'd like to help us build Growstuff.org, please join our mailing list.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
Watching scenes of this week's Oklahoma tornadoes brought strong memories to Monroe County Superintendent Scott Cantrell.
He was on the Smithville School campus on April 27, 2011, shortly after an F5 twister devastated that town, destroyed its school and killed 17 residents.
The F5 tornado in Moore, Okla., also destroyed two schools – Briarwood and Plaza Towers Elementary.
"I knew without even seeing those folks the exact look they all had on their face, that 'what just happened' look and a shocked look," Cantrell said. "I could just imagine the frantic pace of people trying to find relatives and friends and kids. That is obviously a much larger place than Smithville, and the numbers made it that much more of a difficult situation."
When tornadoes strike during the school day, as they did in both situations, administrators face a difficult decision. Do they dismiss early and clear their campuses or do they keep students at school buildings with the belief that they are much sturdier than average homes?
Students were still in school when the tornado struck in Moore, and seven people died at Plaza Towers school. However, many also escaped and – given the damage done to the surrounding neighborhood – it is possible more would have been killed had they not been at school.
Cantrell had made the decision to dismiss students more than an hour before Smithville was struck after monitoring the weather and seeing it was in the path of danger. Students were not on campus when that twister hit.
His plan was to prevent so many people being clustered in one spot. In Smithville's case, its students lived throughout a wide geographic area. Cantrell would only make such a decision, he said, if he had enough time for students and bus drivers to safely get home.
"We're looking at over on hour for that," he said. "You really have to have some good forewarning and depend on the weather service."
Lee County Superintendent Jimmy Weeks also said he would make a similar call with enough warning.
"If we have time to get students safely off campus, I feel better knowing those children are with their parents and their parents know where they are," Weeks said.
Others, such as Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden, believe students are safer in stronger buildings. Loden said he would not be likely to dismiss early, although he would not prevent parents from checking out students.
"We do feel like our buildings are safer than the average home and much safer than the average automobile," he said, adding he particularly worries about releasing young children whose parents are not home.
Another question raised by the Oklahoma tragedy is how to make schools safer before twisters strike.
When Tupelo expands its Early Childhood Education Center, it will put large safe closets in every classroom. The enclosures will be enforced with concrete and rebar, have concrete doors and also have concrete on top to add protection if the roof is destroyed. Its two newest schools, Parkway and Lawndale Elementary, have concrete slabs above their hallways.
Part of the new Smithville campus, which is expected to be ready in August, will be a dome that will serve not only as the school's gym but also as a shelter for students and community members.
With 16 inches of concrete on the bottom and four inches on the top and no corners for the wind to grab, it is built to withstand winds of 300 to 400 miles an hour, Cantrell said.
The district plans to build similar structures by 2014 in Hamilton and Hatley to serve as PE gyms.
They cost about $100 to $120 a square foot, he said, but the district received a Hazard Mitigation grant from FEMA that will cover 75 percent of the cost.
"At that point, we don't have to worry about dismissing early," Cantrell said. "We just need to know 10 minutes in advance."

Fishless cycle using water and some gravel?
I have started a hospital tank for an injured Black Moor. It is a small, 10 gallon tank. I used water and some gravel from my existing tank to start this one but couldn't use filter media as this tank has a sealed filter cartridge. I have been adding food in daily. I've also added a bubbler and cranked the heater up high.
It's been 48 hours since I started the tank. Over the last two days, the ammonia has remained about .25 - .50 ppm, while the nitrites have risen from .25 yesterday, to >5.0 ppm today. Nitrate readings are about 5.0 ppm.
It seems like this is in the process of cycling, but wanted to get your opinions. Is there something more I should be doing?
I'm no expert and never tried to ramp up a cycle, but I'm a little worried you are feeding the water every day. I've had my nitrate issues and I think too much waste in the tank might delay what you are trying to do. Maybe you should hold off on that until someone with more experience can give a good answer...
Shrimp and snail junkie... What can I say, I like the little things in life.
If you have your injuried fish in there right now, I would be doing daily 50 to 75% waterchanges at least once a day. Ammonia and nitrites are toxic to fish and will not helpf the injuried moor heal. Lots of fresh clean water will help him recover quicker.
Adding old tank water from another tank will not help either as the bacteria that you need will be in your filter media and not the water.
Can you move some of the filter media from your other tank into this one ?If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
The readings do indicate a kick started cycle in my opinion. Agreed that this is no place for a sick fish.
What you can do which sometimes helps is take some water from the established tank, squeeze out what filter gunk you can and then run the new filter in that for an hour or so. Not a substitute for a proper cycle but I've found it can help to kickstart a cycle.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Nitrites of 5 ppm are very toxic and I find it hard to beleive the fish (if in that water) can live. Hope that is a miss reading or the fish is not in that tank.
To cycle a filter, a fishless cycle is the only safe way. Since you already have an established filter, you can start another filter in this established aquarium and wait five weeks. In the mean time, the injuried or sick fish should be put in the established tank (if not already there) and just use a divider to keep them safe (if that is an issue.) If you fear the illness might spread, most likely it is already too late since all the fish were together when that fish first got ill; just treat them all.
And keep an extra filter running in the tank so next time, you will have a seaons filter. Besides, a seal filter element is not a good thing to have - how will you replace bio-media in time? You need a new filter anyway - one that allows you to add bio-media yourself!

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

If it is, you need to get the ammonia down to .25 and the nitrites way down.
If it isn't, I assume you are using food to cycle the tank by waiting for it to rot. If that's the case, hopefully since you already have a reading for nitrates,you should be careful how often you feed the flakes.

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi
Combining playful forms and experiments with advanced technologies, Ron Arad has emerged as one of the most influential designers of our time.
