For those who understand construction, there is a bittersweet quality to falling in love with a site. They know building in a pristine location risks diminishing the very qualities they treasure. The owners of Suncrest, a retired architect and a painter, knew the stakes in building on this island shorefront. But their commitment to tread lightly—and an architect and builder who shared that commitment—yielded a house that amplifies the experience that first drew them to this spot.
And what a spot. "It's a microcosm of all that the islands have to offer," says architect Joe Herrin. "It's got the bogs, the grassy balds"—areas of soil too shallow to support trees—"the fir-and-madrone forest, the ravens, eagles, and vultures." And the views, which stretch westward to Vancouver Island.
Because the natural clearing narrows toward the water, Herrin's one-room-deep plan bends in a shallow arc that orients each part of the house toward a different prospect. "It's not a one-liner," he says. "It keeps changing as you walk through it." The plan wraps around a broad rock outcropping, opening between the main house and the guest suite into a covered courtyard that preserves a cluster of mature madrone trees. The building's shed-roof section echoes the slope of the land, rising from a wall of west-facing glass to a band of clerestory windows that take in the tree canopy to the east.
The job of executing the plan went to Peter Kilpatrick, a custom builder based on neighboring San Juan Island. In fragile island environments, he says, "we plan and stage very carefully to have minimal impact on the site." Most important, "we keep the big machinery—the bulldozer and backhoe—within the house footprint." As proof of his methods, he points to a patch of native grasses that segues seamlessly into the outcropping. "That's a flat roof over the garage," he says. Just beyond, "you step off the deck right onto mossy rock, which we had fenced off for the entire project as a no-go zone."
Native plants—in the form of Douglas fir and madrone lumber—also grace the building itself. The challenge here, Kilpatrick says, was managing "the relationship between materials, how they meet, the reveals, and the really clean, tight lines between the concrete, wood, and steel." His cabinet shop produced all the millwork, including closets and built-in furnishings. "The cabinetry drove a lot of the finish detailing in the house," he says. "That's a subtlety that really pulls things together." Subtle relationships among disparate elements—as disparate as site and structure—characterize the entire project. "It almost looks like the house was dropped in by helicopter," Kilpatrick says, "and that was our goal."

Chapel Hill - Attempting to rebound from Wednesday's loss at Hargrave Military Academy, the Tar Heels fell short to Davidson County Community College, 86-84, on Saturday morning in the Smith Center.
The score was neck and neck in the first half, but DCCC was able to get ahead to end the half with 45 points to UNC's 38.
Sophomore Sasha Seymore suffered an eye injury early on in the game, but did not let it stop him from having 24 points and 15 rebounds throughout the game.
"It didn't really affect my playing. Once I got into the game, I forgot about it," Seymore said.
Head coach C.B. McGrath said that the team needed to play with a sense of urgency against Davidson.
"We just didn't execute the plays like we normally do or like we wanted to," McGrath said.
Sophomore Brian Whalen and his teammate Sasha Seymore both agreed that it was good that the team came together in about the last five minutes of the game, but they need to play like that throughout the entirety of the game.
"It's been a long week for us. We practiced for four days straight, and then had the game against Hargrave," Whalen said.
Sasha added that the teams they will play for the remainder of the season will be on a higher athleticism level and that the Tar Heels need to be smarter when it comes to playing against these more athletic teams.
The Tar Heels will face off against Mannasutten Military Academy on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 6 p.m. in the Smith Center.

Headlines (News Releases)
Wilfrid Laurier University Special Constable Service
Laurier launches new Emergency Notification System to enhance campus safety
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jan 14/13| For Immediate Release
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University has launched a new Emergency Notification System (ENS) that expands the universitys ability to alert the Laurier community in the event of a significant on-campus safety threat.
The new ENS, purchased from technology provider Benbria, augments Lauriers existing emergency systems, providing the university with additional channels to communicate with students, staff and faculty at all its campuses and locations.
The ENS is an integrated messaging system that enables the university to:
1. Send an emergency message to the screens of thousands of university computers, locking these computers so that users are prompted to follow the directions provided in the message.
2. Send a text message to every member of the Laurier community who has voluntarily registered their cellphone or mobile number.
3. Send a mass email notification to all staff and faculty accounts (the university is working toward adding student email accounts in future).
The ENS will be activated in the event of a significant safety threat, such as a gunman on campus or an equally urgent and dangerous situation.
The safety of the Laurier community is a top priority for the university, said James Butler, vice-president: finance and administration. Studies indicate that swift and clear communication can save lives in an emergency. Our new Emergency Notification System enhances Lauriers ability to quickly alert the university community to dangerous situations on campus.
Members of the Laurier community are encouraged to voluntarily register their cellphone and mobile numbers with the ENS at www.wlu.ca/ens

text: do i think he's an all star... probably not, but if the nbla ? was around his rookie year i think that he would be our starting center now. he will have a good career and by no means a bust, may never live up to the pressure of being the number 2 pick in that deep deep draft though. why is it they make changes after the fact for us, lol. we might have memo and darko on the team now with a few simple rule changes. drop webber davis and nazi with those two were super young and looking good for years to come.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Ligaments take a long time to heal. Years, sometimes. Even after they heal, its not unheard of for them to ache more than they did before.
|say chi sin lo
Partial or Complete UCL tear (skier's thumb)
Any of you guys have it?
This doesn't affect me in my main sport of tennis (much) because it's on my non-playing hand, and I have a one-hand backhand. But it does give me some minor problem as I set up my backhand. Sometimes it gets achy/sore just placing my left hand on the racquet's throat as I set up my one-hander. To all the non-tennis people, in short, the thumb gives me still reminds me something's wrong with it, ever-so-slightly when I play tennis.
I got it when I broke a snowboard fall with a awkwardly placed left hand. Never EVER break a fall with an open palm people! I had it seen by a hand specialist and he placed me in a custom functional brace/splint/immobilizer. He ruled out a complete rupture so it didn't necessary require a surgery (optional). It remained immobilized for 2months. Then I thought I was all good to go.
I could set up my backhand normally, I could open bags of chips, I can pinch stuff with force and general daily tasks didn't bother me anymore. Then I started playing video games (yes, video games are the bomb). And lately, the same burning/achy feeling is coming back. Now I realized the ligament hasn't healed yet. And if two months of rest didn't do the trick, it'll probably never fully heal?
Anyone have this and live with this? Because I know to really fix this, it'll have to be operated on. But to have my hand completely non-functional for several months is out of the equation. I'm a researcher and I just can't have extended amount of time where I can't pipette stuff and handle my test tubes.
So... who lives with this. And...
Who had it operated on? And how long was your hand out for? Excessive scar tissue (underneath the skin of course)?

Wojciech Szczesny believes Arsenal showed exactly what they are all about in Sunday's North London derby.
Arsène Wenger's side notched their third straight league victory in the magnificent 5-2 win over Tottenham, battling back from two goals down to claim the points at Emirates Stadium.
And, after impressive recent victories over Blackburn and Sunderland, Szczesny says Arsenal are now showing their full capabilities.
"The last two games at home we have scored 12 goals," he said. "It just shows you what we can do when we are on the front foot and we can really go for it. Hopefully we can learn from that and repeat it all over again.
"You could see that once we started playing well, the fans got behind us and gave us a lot of support. I am sure they enjoyed the game as well so we are very pleased for them because we have let them down in the last couple of weeks.
"We needed that performance not only for us but for them as well.
"It is brilliant [from a fan's perspective], I was buzzing. Every single goal felt better than the previous one and I was celebrating quite energetically I think.
"I loved it. For me as an Arsenal fan to beat Tottenham - it is the first time I have beaten them as well - it is just great."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Lifted 93 Grand Cherokee for sale or trade for a Zero Turn Mower
I have a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that I am looking to sell for 2500 obo or trade for a Zero Turn Mower. The Jeep has had a lot of work done. It has a new lift kit never been off road yet (4-6 in adjustable currently set to 4 however there is 1 in coil spring spacers all the way around making it 5 and with the 32in tires I am guessing lift is at about 6in. That being said with minor modifications to driveline and available left over adjustment you could easily raise this another 2 inches maybe more with bigger tires), all new steering components, exhaust from manifold to tailpipe less than a year old, new computer, cam sensor, alternator, battery, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, tires are fairly new 32's some body work Jeep has been bedlinered not the best job but a good 20 footer there is no rear bumper cover however I have purchased plans for both front and rear steel bumpers. I have the plans just havent gotten the steel around to build them yet so plans will be included. I put the transmission in a little over a year ago and the motor was rebuilt before I got it a little over a year ago by my friend who worked for Auto Zone Transfer case was only a couple of months old when I got the Jeep. The Jeep has also had the brakes replaced. Also has brand new wheel spacers. Most of the parts have been purchased and installed by me I worked for Advance Auto Parts and then Napa Auto Parts. I am sure there is more that I am forgetting but that is what I remember off the top of my head.
The bad a few months ago I had a problem with the trac bar shifting which caused a bad death wobble. I have since resolved that problem however I believe it may have damaged the right front wheel bearing $70 at Napa probably cheaper elsewhere. Trans fluid and filter needs replacing I have the fluid and filter just havent gotten around to it yet. and the AC doesnt work. the heater works however only on a couple of settings ( I have replaced the head unit the blower motor and the blower motor resister the only answer I can come up with that I havent tried is that the head unit is vacuum operated and I may have a bad vacuum line to it should be easy fix.
If you are interested email me with Zero Turn in the subject line and pics of your potential trade or offer cash is always king but I do need a Zero Turn so let me know what you have
I will post pics later when I can figure out how or you can message me and I will send you a link.

What is really a Sizegenetics?
It really is a light-weight health-related system, that is worn on your penis while in flaccid state. It contains adjustment screws, which permit you to progressively increase its length thus growing the stretching impact it has in your penis. To attain significant results, it should be worn for about 5-8 hours a day turning the adjustment screws in accordance to the penis enlargement program schedule.
The way it works?
Although Sizegenetics is really a reasonably new invention, the principle behind this gadget has long been recognized to human for a large number of years. This principle says that human body is created to adapt to the atmosphere. As an example, in order to build huge and powerful muscles, persons typically lift weights. Lungs of expert athletes are a lot extra potent than yours or mine. Naturally, penis responds to traction the same way every other part from the human physique does. The traction gadget progressively stretches and lengthens the penis, which causes its cells to grow successfully making it bigger.
Is it far better than other penis enlargement alternatives?
Sizegenetics provide a combination of safety and effectiveness that no other approach can match. Penis surgery is successful but rather harmful (and high-priced too!) Weights and pumps can provide some outcomes, but they're also dangerous and can trigger lasting harm to the tissues of your penis. Penis enlargement tablets are secure but, alas, no pill can boost your, while they can be taken as a supplement to your standard penis exercise program.
In contrast, Sizegenetics underwent comprehensive medical testing and were clinically confirmed to become secure and effective.
What gains are you able to anticipate?
As I already said, so that you can accomplish gains inside your girth and duration, you need to wear the extender for 5-8 hours each day. In case you adhere to this workout program (this might be hard if the device you employ just isn't comfy, so ensure that you purchase a design with a comfort strap.) the common acquire in duration is 1-1.five inches within the initial three months. Should you continue to perform stretching exercises for three much more months, you may expect to gain 0.5-1 a lot more inches. The total exercising period is normally 3 or six months total based on how speedily you accomplish your dimension objective. Right after that, you do not need to go on wearing the extender to preserve your new dimension -- the gains are everlasting.

Any reccomendations for a good book on handguns? I realize that this is a very broad question, but your answers would be appreciated.
God, Guns, & Rock 'N' Roll
by Ted Nugent
I read as many magazines as I can. I don't take the reviews to heart because they always will promote the firearm. I do like the gun porn. If you have the outdoor channel shooting USA, Guns and Ammo, Personal Defense TV, Gun Tech TV and Shooting Gallery are good programs. Then you have the internet and to start, this web site. I have gotten some great advise and pointers. Check out Shootingusa.com and go to links, you will find many forums.
Anything by the late, great Jeff Cooper - check www.gunsite.com.
Are you interested in the technical aspects of guns, or are you more interested in the shooting side? I'm not much into the technical side, but for actually shooting, defensive and otherwise:
"Shooting from Within" by J. Michael Plaxco
"Practical Shooting: Beyond Fundamentals" by Brian Enos
"Handgun Combatives" by Dave Spaulding
"Fighting Smarter" by Tom Givens
Other books by Bill Jordan, Massad Ayoob, John Farnam, Greg Morrison, Chuck Taylor, and Gabe Suarez have also been informative. My perspective is primarily defensive, however, and some of these books and authors may be beyond a new shooter's interest.
I have also enjoyed more technical reads by Elmer Keith, Skeeter Skelton, and John Taffin.
I read three gun rags a month and all the stuff I can find by Elmer Keith, John Taffin, and Skeeter Skelton. I have manuals by Jerry Kuhnhausen and Patrick Sweeney. Layman loading manuel 3rd edition and 2 Winchester books.
What do you like to read? novels,instructional, historical
[QUOTE=Mike Barham at Galco;48440]Anything by the late, great Jeff Cooper - check www.gunsite.com.
Absolutely. Read everything you can find by Cooper. It's long out of print, but try as hard as you can to find a used copy of Cooper On Handguns. Pay whatever you have to. It is the fountainhead of all our modern understanding of handguns for self-defense. Memorize it.
Marksmanship is only one part of defensive pistolcraft, and not the most important part. Mental conditioning is the most important. For that, buy yourself a copy of Cooper's Principles of Personal Defense. Powerful and inspiring.
Unintended Consequences, by John Ross.
All of the above are worthy. I'll add:
Anything by George Nonte
Anything by Dean Grennell
Combat Handgun Shooting by James D. Mason
Colt Automatic Pistols by Donald Bady
Hatchers Notebook and Textbook of Pistols and Revolvers by Julian Hatcher
Triggernometry by Eugene Cunningham
Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting by Ed McGivern
The Pistol Shooters Book by Charles Askins
Handgunner's Guide by Chic Gaylord
No Second Place Winner by Bill Jordan
Single Action Sixguns by John Taffin
Colt, An American Legondl by R. L. Wilson
By the time you read everything suggested so far, you'll be as old as I am. (No, I was not old enough to vote for Lincoln the first time. ;^)
But he did help re-elect Linclon
Books by Charles Askins, Massad Ayoob, Julien Hatcher, R. L. Wilson, Jeff Cooper, Chic Gaylord, Jim Supica & Rick Nahas, Roy Jinks, H. B. C. Pollard, Charles Petty, Paul Weston, A. L. A. Himmelwright, Bill Clede, John Bianchi, A.W.F. Taylerson, Gregory Morrison, Fred A. Datig, john Farnam, Jim Cirillo, Bill Jordon, Mike Dalton & Micky Fowler, Lewis Winant, Walter Roper, and Herschel Logan all have honored places in my handgun Library. There is much knowledge to be learned from books. I spend far toomuch on my library but there is still much to learn.
An absolute "Must Read" book for anyone that carries a weapon for defense is:
Armed Response by author David Kenik.
I just finished reading "The Luger Story" by John Walter
If you are at all interested in the most identifiable handgun of all time, this is a must.
"The Walther handgun Story" By Gene Gangerosa is also good.
I'd recommend Ed Mcgivern's book FAST AND FANCY REVOLVER SHOOTING. There are some timeless tips in there. Jeff Cooper's stuff is worth the read.
Massad Ayoob's column in AMERICAN HANDGUNNER is great, and that seems to be the best handgunning mag out there, worth the subscription. There's a book that he has out compiling a bunch of his columns from that mag, but the name escaped me.
Bill Jordan's NO SECOND PLACE WINNER is quite enjoyable.
Just fininshed WARLORD by Ilario Pantano, which is a great nonfiction piece about Iraq.
Fiction: Read Stephen Hunter's POINT OF IMPACT. Do it quick before the movie SHOOTER (with Mark Walberg) comes out and probably ruins the book forever. You'll be hooked. Also, anything by Vince Flynn is worth reading.
If you are interested in pistol shooting. I found the following to have plenty of useful information. All are paperback. Size 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I ordered them from Amazon.

Hi guys,
Any idea where I might find a child sized jumpsuit? I've searched the internet but I haven't really found anything. I was actually looking for a kids sized white jumpsuit/ painters coverall. I figured I could dye it the color I wanted. If anyone could point me in a direction I would appreciate it. Thank you!

The essential change implicit in the arrow in a chemical reaction, A + B → C + D, may be rapid, it may be slow. I drop a small chunk of potassium into water, and the show is over in less than a second. The majestic copper beech outside my window was not noticeably smaller yesterday, but a photograph of it 75 years ago shows it just 10 feet high. Many biochemical reactions went into that slow growth. They tell me the universe is 15 billion years old, they tell me that the primary photochemical act in vision—a change in shape of a retinal molecule—transpires in 200 femtoseconds. (One femtosecond, fs, is 10–15 seconds—the name of the unit a relatively rare intrusion of a nice Scandinavian root into a scientific nomenclature generally too anxious to impress in Greek and Latin.) I sort of trust the former, I believe the latter, and in this third Marginalia on the new kinetic chemistry, I would like to tell you why.
When events happen in the time frame defined by our senses, we can easily gauge their rapidity. We have no trouble hearing the difference between a pulse rate of 55 and 155 beats per minute. And we can make out, a bit less distinctly, the number of years elapsed between a frame of Ingrid Bergman in her early Intermezzo and late Autumn Sonata. But as we move to shorter and longer time intervals we must abandon the direct and sometimes fallible evidence of the senses and rely on instruments and theory.
Let's talk about very quick chemical reactions, those seemingly over before the eye blinks. It seems obvious that if we are to understand them, we must take a quick series of snapshots. How naturally we lapse into the language of photography! Since the end of the 19th century the technology has been in place for producing still images separated in time by intervals much shorter than the eye can resolve. So Étienne-Jules Marey in 1894 showed us sequences of a cat righting itself as it falls. Earlier still, in 1878 Eadweard Muybridge set up a dozen cameras along a track, trip wires opening their shutters for two-thousandths of a second. Leland Stanford's bet that all four hooves of a horse are off the ground at some point in a gallop was thus proved. And in our century, Harold E. Edgerton's strobe flash caught a bullet passing through an apple.
A little thought about each of these photographic experiments reveals that they depend on signals (typically light at some frequency), a device for recording them (a photographic film), and most important, a precisely sequenced timing of two or more events (the trip-wire, stroboscopic lighting). Muybridge's "experimental setup" would not have resolved Leland Stanford's bet unless the trip wires indeed tripped the shutters expeditiously, the shutter speed were short enough to define the horse and the light level were sufficient to record the event on the film used. The circumstances of the measurement—the distance between the trip wires, the shutter speed, the light—all had to be matched to the speed of the galloping horse, so to say. A similar setup would teach us nothing about the bullet and the apple.
In the experiments I will describe below, people "freeze" the pieces of a molecule as bonds form or break up in the course of chemical reaction, or as the molecule is perturbed in some way. A typical bond length is 1.5 angstroms (?; 1? = 1 x 10–10 meters), and we might want to see it changed to 2.5 ?. This in a reaction where the formerly bonded pieces might be going off at speeds something like 1,000 meters per second (m/s) relative to each other. How long does it take for the molecular fragments to travel 1 ?? Only 1 x 10–13 s, or 100 fs. Light pulses that could freeze such motion had better be well defined, and in duration substantially shorter still.
The reason I speak of pulses is that this is the way it must be done if we are to learn something of molecules reacting—more in the spirit of Edgerton's stroboscope than Muybridge's trip wires. There is as yet no mechanical shutter that can open or close on the femtosecond time scale, nor can a photographic film form images of angstrom-level resolution. The logic of the experiments I will describe is that of the interaction of short, precisely timed pulses of light with matter.
Still another piece of the logic of femtosecond experiments is the pump and probe technique. Two bursts of laser power are required; the first pumps the molecule, excites it, starts the reaction going. A precise and precisely variable time thereafter, the second pulse probes the action.
As in comedy, it's all about timing. Often the pump-and-probe pulses are sent on their appointed rounds at exactly the same time; that is easy to arrange. But the probe pulse light is routed a longer way. "Longer" doesn't mean much longer; the velocity of light is 3 x 108 m/s, so a 3.3-fs delay is caused by a path difference of only 1 x 10–6 m, one-thousandth of a millimeter. Can one arrange such a precise path-length difference for the pump-and-probe pulses? No sweat, at least today. You can't do it on top of a New York subway grate, but the same kind of piezoelectric controls that in scanning tunneling microscopy move a tungsten tip a few angstroms left or right serve in this case.
Whatever the pump pulse does, it does it for a very short time. It better do its controlled violence with substantial power, or there will be nothing for the probe pulse to probe. The output of a modern femtosecond-pulsed laser used in one of the experiments described below is 75 millijoules (mJ) in 20 fs. Were it to operate continuously for one second, this laser would require 3.75 ? 1012 joules of energy. The same energy would keep all of Milan, Italy—residential and industrial—lit up for more than one hour. No amount of funding, no power station will provide power at that rate—for that matter, were the laser output continuous the sample (maybe the lab) would be consumed in a mighty flash in no time (well, in some microseconds)!
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle places an inherent limitation on the simultaneous determination of certain pairs of physical observables—momentum and position, energy and time. Might the principle constrain our "visualization" of the location in space of, say, moving atoms? Actually, it doesn't; the localization in time allowed by coherent, ultrashort laser pulses indeed leads to a substantial indeterminacy in the energy. This in turn is related to an inability to define well the momentum of the particles in motion, which actually leads to a good coherent localization in space. I oversimplify a complex and interesting quantum-mechanical situation. A language of matter wave packets is necessary, but in that language we can actually think of atoms, which are very much quantum objects, moving as roughly classical particles.
Ahmed Zewail of the California Institute of Technology has provided us with many of the concepts of femtochemistry, exemplifying them through a series of beautifully designed experiments. I mention here but one of them, relevant to a kind of organic reaction of interest to me.
On photolysis, halogen-substituted ethanes fall apart to ethylenes and diatomic halogen, X2 (X is iodine, I, in the case studied). The overall reaction is shown in Figure 2. But how exactly does this happen? Does the reaction proceed in one fell swoop, the iodine atoms coming off in a concerted manner? Or is there an "intermediate," as in the mechanism shown in Figure 3? The geometrical details of the CF2I–CF2 are left undefined, as they were when the experiment was first done.
Zewail and coworkers showed unambiguously that the two C–I bonds do not break synchronously. Furthermore they defined for us the time scales of the various processes. First one C–I bond is broken, in approximately 200 fs. This is followed by a much slower cleavage of the second C–I bond, in about 32 picoseconds, which equals 32,000 fs.
You will note above that the femtosecond-scale spectroscopy identifies the intermediacy of a specific molecule (CF2I–CF2) with a certain lifetime. But what is the structure of that molecule? From experience with related molecules, one could imagine the intermediate "non-bridged" (in the position of the I) or bridged, as shown in Figure 4.
For stable molecules, especially those forming nice little crystals, we have a marvelous technique, x-ray crystallography, to determine the structure. Nuclear magnetic resonance, electron diffraction and microwave spectroscopy also give us geometrical information. But imagine the problem of applying these techniques to a figurative handful of molecules zooming around in high vacuum!
In the most exciting development in recent years, people are beginning to do just that. In January 1999 Jianming Cao, Hyotcherl Ihee and Zewail published an electron diffraction study on CF2I–CF2 in situ, pointing to a non-bridged structure for the intermediate. And in a remarkable paper that is in a March issue of Nature, Kent R. Wilson of the University of California at San Diego and his group succeeded in following a structural change on the femtosecond scale by x-ray diffraction.
Here's what the San Diego chemists do. They illuminate the surface of a crystal of gallium arsenide (GaAs) crystal with 800-nanometer laser light. This creates electron-hole pairs in the semiconductor. The electronic excitation is quickly transformed into heat, and the heat wave at the surface dissipates into the interior. The structural change at the GaAs surface may be complex, but its most important component is simply heat-induced expansion of the lattice.
That expansion is probed by x rays generated at a copper wire by that 75-mJ, 20-fs laser pulse that was energetic enough to light up Milan. What one sees very clearly in Figure 5 is a motion of a crucial x-ray reflection, a function of the lattice spacing, as the surface is heated. Corresponding to an expansion at the surface of only 0.0082 ?.
Not much that is surprising, you will say; the structural information is meager, the molecules small. But Kent Wilson's x-ray observations, as Zewail's electron diffraction, are proof-of-principle experiments. I think within the next decade we will see ultrafast structural studies defining precisely the many transient species we now know exist but whose identity is so far hidden from us.

On the rocky edge of San Juan, where a finger of land stretches into the Atlantic Ocean, sit two of the most historic structures in Puerto Rico. The better-known of the pair is Fort San Felipe del Morro, the 16th-century fortification that is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Not far away, however, is the lesser-known El Cuartel de Ballajá, a large military barracks dating from the 1850s. With its striking, formal courtyard and Neoclassical arcades, one would never guess that the building is now a platform for groundbreaking sustainable technology.
Puerto Rico has a long history of poor urban planning. Currently, municipalities can make land-use decisions without the benefit of any overarching master plan, leading to a mishmash of development and sprawl. A recent report on Puerto Rico's land use published by the EPA reported that "if current practices continue at the same rate they have in the last five decades, the whole island of Puerto Rico will become a suburban megalopolis in less than 75 years."
Yet a growing number of architects and environmental engineers are working to stem that tide through historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and green building. The Cuartel de Ballajá project is a prime example. Two decades after the Puerto Rican government began restoring and adapting the formerly abandoned building for cultural purposes, the Cuartel now houses the Museo de los Americas, music and dance studios, and other educational and cultural organizations.
All of this was welcome, but given the Cuartel's prominent location as a tourism gateway for the rest of the island, government officials realized that more could be done. Led by the Puerto Rico State Historic Preservation Office, the Cuartel is in the process of a complete energy-saving retrofit to include a solar array with more than 700 photovoltaic panels, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and a new air-conditioning system.
The showpiece, however, is a 24,000-square-foot vegetated green roof. Designed by Edmundo Colón-Izquierdo, senior designer for ECo, a San Juan–based architecture and engineering firm—with David Aponte, an environmental engineer and Green Roof Professional and a principal of PRGD, serving as an engineering consultant—the roof is one of the largest ever built in Puerto Rico and the only such roof installed on a historic building in that country.
The green-roof market in Puerto Rico has grown by about 25 percent in recent years, according to Aponte. Still, when general contractor Jorge Castellanos of WTI assembled a project team, Puerto Ricans knew little about green roofs. "In Puerto Rico, the lack of understanding of what green roofs are and can be makes most people immediately think of a green roof as just grass," Colón-Izquierdo says. The designers convinced their client and the contractor to develop a much more ambitious scheme that includes a complex plant palette and a 1,800-square-foot wetland pond that serves as water storage and an on-site irrigation source. "Our goal was to have a roof that worked to cool the building and could also be an almost self-sustaining ecosystem on its own," Colón-Izquierdo says.
The green-roof structure includes a thin, protective mat-and-drain system, and about 4 inches of growing medium comprised of a lightweight soil aggregate (manufactured by Rooflite) mixed with local compost and pea gravel. The designers created this mix to stretch the amount of Rooflite material used and to cut costs because of the fairly tight budget, Colón-Izquierdo says. The addition of gravel required careful calculations of the saturated weight and eventual distribution. The planting palette consisted of drought-tolerant vegetation, an unexpected choice, given Puerto Rico's tropical climate. Yet the site's microclimate and shallow planting environment required a range of succulents—some from as far away as Israel, that would be likely to survive. The irrigation system has a sensor that, when the roof reaches critical drought conditions, takes water from the wetland and uses it for irrigation. Circulation systems aerate the water and provide irrigation for a planted living wall. The wall, in turn, serves as a biofilter for the lake, which is stocked with fish.
Observers say that the work has relevance for all of Puerto Rico and beyond. Last November, during its annual convention, AIA Puerto Rico offered a seminar and tour of the project in order to showcase its systems and share lessons learned with local architects.
"The Cuartel de Ballajá project is very significant to Puerto Rico," says Jaime E. Sobrino, AIA, immediate past president of AIA Puerto Rico. "Its execution required surpassing technical difficulties, regulations, code compliance, historic preservation, costs, and other issues that were successfully addressed."
Aponte hopes that the project will help people realize that green roofs offer more than energy efficiency. "This project shows that green roofs are more than an R-value," he says. "There are the ecological benefits, the water-resource benefits, the impacts on the heat-island effect, and, most important, bringing nature back to life. I hope we'll see a lot more architects play around with this scenario in the near future."

I was wondering if you can ship a handgun via GROUND if you send the slide and frame in seperate boxes???

I was wondering if you can ship a handgun via GROUND if you send the slide and frame in seperate boxes???
You can send a slide anywhere to anyone. If you ship a frame in any condition you have to ship to a person who has FFL. That's from a FFL to a FFL if it crosses a state line. Check your state laws and federal laws.
The frame IS the gun, according to the US Govt - so, separating it doesn't matter. As said above - U can mail the barrel and slide via the post office, ship it ground, do anything U want. But the receiver/frame MUST be shipped next day.
US Postal service will not ship a handgun unless U are an FFL. It's not against federal law per se to ship a gun via ground. But, both UPS and Fed Ex require a gun be shipped next day - this is their corporate policy. And, it IS against the law to ship a handgun and NOT inform the shipper that it is a handgun. I've seen the statutes for this posted on other sites in the past.
Its unfortunate that the shippers went to this policy several years ago. It seems that UPS initially started this rule because too many of its employees were stealing the guns.
Some guys like to brag that they mark the box "machine parts," and ship it ground anyway. U may get away with i - but good luck getting your money for it via their insurance if U were not honest about what was in the package. And, U might get in trouble for it to boot.
Don't do it. It sucks, but ship it properly.
Interesting...both parts are useless without the other part, but the frame is considered the "gun".
I bet I could do much more damage with a slide than with the frame...
I could load a bullet, press in the trigger safety switch (to unlock the firing pin) and then smack the back of the firing pin to fire the round. Of course, I will probably hit myself in the face or something...
Has anyone checked with DHL? I thought there was a Federal Mandate that required handguns to be shipped via Overnight delivery. If the only law is that you MUST tell them that you are shipping a gun. Has DHL followed suit with Brown and FedEx?
I don't know - DHL is rarely seen around here - but I think I read someone say a while back on another site that DHL won't ship handguns.... I might be wrong.
As for the fra,e - take that up with the ATF :P
I've done this before, without fully understanding the law. Nothing happend, I just felt bad afterwards. But yes you will get in a heap of shit if someone finds out.
I have shipped several guns via ground. My experiences have been good and bad. Good when the employee knows what the proper procedures are and bad when the employee freaks out with the mention of the word, FIREARM. I've done it legally and illegally...meaning I've lied. Said it was machined parts. F*** 'em. If these companies would train the employees properly, nothing should be mishandled. It is also my understanding the overnight rule is a company (UPS, FedX) policy. It's to curb down employee thief. I also believe DHL does not ship firearms. Good luck. I know you'll try to be honest, but sometimes the system makes one lie. Not right, but s*** happens. It's all a gamble.
I am a Corporate Loss Prevention Investigator with DHL and we do not ship firearms.
How do you load a "bullet?"

Any ideas on a DIY timer/dimmer?
Since I'm running two of the 36" Ray II LED's on my tank, I've noticed when the timer kicks them on in the AM, it's like the Sun blasting the tank all at once. I was thinking about a auto-controlled dimmer that would hook between the timer and lamps to bring the light level up slowly so the fish don't drop fins when it comes on. Any ideas or plans would be appreciated...
I did look at some of the home automation stuff. But the info shown is not very clear about how well it would work for my purposes. Plus the programming looks serious complicated.
Thanks! :smile:
i am running a similar light set up and have contemplated the same dimmer option.
I will be watching this thread as well for ideas.

Sorry guys but a typical dimmer won't work to solve your problem. Led fixtures operate differently than old fashioned incandescent light bulbs. Leds require a certain voltage threshold to be reached before current will begin to flow through them, where as incandescent bulbs will happily glow with the reduced voltage that the dimmer provides. Leds can only be dimmed by varying their current level not voltage.
You'll either have to replace you led lighting fixture with a fixture that already has a built in dimmer function-OR- it may be possible to "hack" the one you have to make dimming possible. Whether or not your fixture can be hacked depends on what type of constant current driver is being employed. It's possible that the electronics needed are already there, and the addition of a few strategically placed wires and a micro-controller will provide the dimming capabilities that you're looking for. I've hacked a few of the earlier led fixtures to do just that, but I'm not familiar with the "guts" in the fixtures that you're using now. You may also want to contact the manufacturer and see if they have any "off the shelf" options for you.
Thanks, O2! Appreciate the input. I guess I need to hit up Finnex to see if there's a way to make the Ray II'2 dimmer "friendly"... Thanks again. And if I get any info, Chad, I'll let you know...
Add another light. You can have it in the room sort of near the tank, does not have to be directly over the tank.
Make that one on the timer/dimmer. Incandescent, of course.
Set it to start coming on 15 minutes before the tank lights, then it can go off once the tank lights are on.
At night, reverse. It comes on while the tank lights are still on, and when the tank lights go off this light slowly dims, replicating sunset.
Other solution:
If you have a fixture that has several levels, that is, not all the lights come on at once, then set it so the smallest number can come on, then a few more, then all the fixture, over a 15 minute period. Reverse at night.
If all the bulbs are wired to come on at once this won't work.
Other solution:
Manually fix it:
Put a piece of cardboard between the tank and the light.
When the light comes on only one row of bulbs are uncovered to shine into the tank.
Over the next 15 minutes take away the cardboard, uncovering one more row... then one more row... until all the bulbs are exposed.
Other solution:
Keep the tank near enough to a window that the rising and setting sun can be seen. Time the fixture to be on only when the sun is up. That way the sun starts rising, slowly increasing the light, then the tank light comes on. In the late afternoon the tank light goes off during the day, then the setting sun 'dims' the tank.
the way i sort of do that without shocking the fish is i have the room light go on first and sort of add a dimmer light to the tank then like 30 minutes later have the fish tank light kick on. it seems to work
or just tell your fish to deal with it...Q.E.D

I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. How do I get rid of squash bugs?
I pick them by hand. Yes we pick them by hand also. We try to check twice a day early on. Another good thing is to plant LATE in the season, according to where you are. We waited until June to plant our squash and then began the picking of the bugs. Once the plants get really big it's hard to check for the bugs.We have gardening friends nearby that planted much earlier than we did and don't even have any actual squash on the blooms yet.We also plant them so they can vine up and off the ground, which seems helpful in more than one way.Good luck!Bill

The Canisius College men's lacrosse team fell to Jacksonville, 11-10, in a tight contest throughout on Saturday at the Demske Sports Complex. The Griffs drop to 3-9 on the season and 2-3 in MAAC play, while the Dolphins improve to 7-4 and 5-1 against league foes.
"It was a tough loss today," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "In the big scheme of things, we know that Detroit (next weekend) is the biggest game of the season but our guys gave it their all to try to send the seniors out with a win in their final regular-season game at the Demske.
"Jacksonville has a great squad. I thought faceoffs were important again and Mike Moran did the job there. Tim Edwards had a great game. For the most part, we played really well defensively but we broke down a couple of times in slide packages. We played well today but unfortunately, we were just one goal short."
Sophomore Tim Edwards led the Griffs with six points in the defeat, scoring three goals and matching his career high with three assists. Freshman Billy Jacobbi also added three tallies for Canisius, netting his first career hat trick. Sophomore Brandon Bull chipped in two scores with senior Nick Caldiero and freshman Vince Gravino each adding a goal.
Senior Joe Rautenstrauch paced the Canisius attack with four assists.
Senior Mike Moran once again led the Griffs at the faceoff X, winning 17-of-24 restarts, while collecting a career-best 15 ground balls. Sophomore Adam Donner anchored the Canisius defense with a career-best four caused turnovers.
The Dolphins grabbed the early lead in the contest thanks to two goals in the opening seven minutes. However, Jacksonville was never able to increase its lead the remainder of the game as the teams battled back and forth.
Jacobbi scored his first of the day with 7:26 remaining in the first but Jacksonville answered right back to take a 3-1 advantage into the second quarter. Edwards and Bull both netted goals in the second frame, sandwiched around a Dolphins tally, as the schools headed into intermission with Jacksonville ahead, 4-3.
The second half continued to be a back-and-forth affair between the two schools. The Griffs finally tied the game at six with 5:40 remaining in the third when Caldiero scored his first goal of the season, driving from behind the net and finding the back of the net from the right of the goalie. However, Jacksonville reclaimed its two-goal lead with a pair of tallies 1:23 apart in the final three minutes of the quarter to head into the fourth with an 8-6 advantage.
The teams traded goals in the opening two minutes of the fourth but Edwards tied the contest with his second and third goals of the game. The sophomore scored a man-up goal off a feed from Rautenstrauch with 12:17 remaining in the contest before netting an unassisted tally with 10:36 left to tie the contest at nine.
After Jacksonville won the ensuing faceoff, Canisius backed up a wide shot and had a chance to grab its first lead of the game. However, the Dolphins' Pete DeLuca made a save off a shot from Bull and Jacksonville finished on the other end for a 10-9 lead. The Dolphins then tallied a second-straight goal, scoring with the man advantage, for an 11-9 lead with 5:03 remaining.
The Griffs continued to fight and pulled back to within one when Gravino fired a shot into the back of the net off a pass from Rautenstrauch with just 72 seconds remaining. Moran then won his 17th faceoff of the game, giving Canisius a chance to tie the contest in the final minute of play. However, Rautenstrauch attempted to send the ball back to the X and DeLuca intercepted the pass. The Dolphins successfully cleared the ball and killed the remaining time to hold on to the 11-10 victory.
Canisius finished the game with a 35-28 advantage in shots on the day. The Griffs were also 3-for-4 with the extra man, while Jacksonville converted 2-of-3 chances.
Ari Waffle led the Dolphins with six points on three goals and three assists in the win, while DeLuca finished the game with 10 saves.
The Griffs now have a week off to prepare for their biggest game of the season. Canisius faces Detroit next Saturday in a match where the winner advances to the MAAC Tournament and the loser has its season come to an end. The Griffs and Titans are set to meet in Detroit at noon.
Game Notes: Moran has won 76.1 percent of his faceoffs in the last three games, going 51-for-67 … The 15 ground balls are the most by a Griff since Mark Miyashita collected 18 against Marist on March 22, 2003 … Rautenstrauch recorded four assists after entering the game with three helpers in 11 contests this season … Canisius honored 11 seniors prior to the game who appeared in their final regular-season game at the Demske Sports Complex … Senior Nick Carrasco earned the start in net after regular starter, Alex Govenettio, was injured in pre-game warmups … Jacksonville has won all three meetings with the Griffs.

I really like the game.
Silkroad Online is a fully 3D dowloadable MMORPG with a vast world to explore, and a chaotic realm to explore. The Free-To-Play version of Knight Online gives players the opportunity to purchase unavailable in-game scrolls which will greatly help the players in their clan war, player versus player, hunting and levelling up by boosting the players characters in many ways. The scrolls are able to increase attack power, boosting defence rating, increasing maximum hit points etc.
The grafics aren't so good but i liked the easy gameplay and the caracteristic of the game has good hints about monsters and its locations.
And there is only a thing i dont like the bugs and dificulty to find items for mage and warrior at begin levels.But i give 4 stars.
By the way,I believe that many guys will be tired of getting gold by killing monsters, and me too although I love this game very much. So I have to look for some good sites to buy gold. Luckily, I have found one------gkplayer dot com which I think is not a scaming site at least. their service and price are reasonale too.I trust it and I am often buy gold from the site. I think maybe you guys can have a try. It does no bad, I think.Currently they have a 5% free point promotion.
After you have tried, you may agree with me.

We had lots of chances to score and didn't take them and at this level, that can sometimes punish you. We hope that in the second leg we can put that right.
on improving on last year's first leg..
We expected the same from Rayo Vallecano as last year, and that's what we got. I think we probably played a little bit better on Thursday than we did last year, but it was still not good enough by our standards.

With 300 calories or less, these light entrees deliver the kind of deep, rich flavors that come from cooking low and slow.
Sweet and Spicy Satsuma TurkeyFresh mandarin oranges, riesling, and orange marmalade provide the highlights for the sweet profile, while crushed red pepper adds the spicy kick to this Asian-inspired turkey dish. Serve with hot steamed rice as an accompaniment to soak up the delicious sauce.
Pulled Pork with Bourbon-Peach SauceSmoked paprika comes from a centuries-old tradition in which chile peppers are slowly dried over low-burning fires of Spanish oak and then ground into powder. In the slow cooker, this earthy, aromatic spice adds outdoor smoked barbecue flavor.
Santa Fe Black BeansBlack beans are a staple side to any Mexican dish. Serve these beans warm and tender after 10 hours in the slow cooker.
Chicken Enchilada StackYou can enjoy the flavor and texture of enchiladas in a slow cooker; just stack the tortillas instead of rolling them. We suggest lining your slow cooker with a slow-cooker bag so you can easily remove the stack from the cooker.
Amaretti CheesecakeCheesecake in a slow cooker is a brilliant idea for a heavenly fall dessert. Top with fresh raspberries to complete your sweet treat.
Smoked Sausage CassouletFor a thicker consistency, let the cassoulet stand 30 minutes before serving.
Balsamic Collard GreensServe these greens with pork tenderloin and garlic mashed potatoes.
BologneseSpoon this savory Italian meat sauce over any pasta of your choice. We love the long, ribbon-style pappardelle.
Maple-Hazelnut OatmealThe soothing aroma of fresh oatmeal is the ultimate comfort food. Savor happiness in a bowl with the flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup topped with chopped hazelnuts and apples.
Plum Pork TenderloinServe with jasmine rice to help soak up some of the sauce. Snow peas make a great side dish for rounding out your meal.
Herb and Sausage-Stuffed PeppersYou can set up this recipe in less than fifteen minutes, turn on the slow cooker, and go. Come back in four hours, and your supper will be ready.
Pineapple-Coconut TapiocaSmall pearl tapioca combined with coconut milk and fresh pineapple makes a simple tropics-inspired treat. The key to success is using small pearl tapioca, not instant or minute tapioca. Fresh mango or papaya works equally well as a substitute for the fresh pineapple.
Chicken Thighs with Olives and Tomato SauceChicken thighs take on rustic, bold Italian flavor notes with just a few pantry staples including canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and white wine. Just before serving, add Kalamata olives and fresh parsley to finish things off on a rich note.
Double Apple CakeIf you're an apple lover, look no further for dessert than this tasty cake recipe. With only 1 to 1/2 hours in the slow cooker, this apple cake is the perfect, mouth-watering treat.
Chunky ApplesauceWe left the skins on the McIntosh apples to provide texture and color to this favorite fruit dish.
Buffalo-Style DrummettesHeating the chicken drummettes in the oven helps to brown them. You can also brown them, in batches, in a skillet on the cooktop.
Slow-Cooker Barbecue ChickenCook chicken breasts in a mixture of bottle barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce for a sweet and tangy barbecue chicken that's great on a bun over even over a baked potato.
ChilaquilesBefore there were nachos, there were chilaquiles. Tomatoes and spices simmer with any kind of meat to make the ideal topping for tortilla chips. Here, chipotle, chicken, and cilantro meld in this filling Mexican favorite.
Berry-Lemonade TeaHere's a refreshingly fruity mix of tea and lemonade that is delicious hot or cold--depending on the season. You can even spike it!
Potato SoupThis classic soup gets a double hit of cheese--stirred into the soup and sprinkled over the top.
Mediterranean ChickenCapturing the simplicity found in sun-drenched Mediterranean cuisine, these braised chicken thighs melt under the influence of bright, vibrant lemon, briny olives and capers, and juicy plum tomatoes. Serve with rosemary mashed potatoes or over hot basmati rice.
Beer-Braised BeefIt's hard to believe that seven ingredients, including the unusual additions of molasses and light beer, can create such fork-tender top round steak. Serve this quintessential comfort food over mashed potatoes, polenta, or egg noodles.
Slow Cooker Veggie ChiliA colorful combo of canned, frozen, and fresh vegetables, this hearty meatless chili is one of our most popular. Serve toppings alongside for a chili bar: low-fat sour cream, low-fat cheddar, green onions, and minced jalapeño.
Easy Beef Osso BucoBrimming with rich, deep flavors, Easy Beef Osso Buco is a slow cooker classic. With just 30 minutes of preparation in the morning, this warm stew cooks in 8 hours while you are at work or running errands throughout the day and is ready to eat when you get home.
Poblano Corn PuddingGuaranteed to heat up any meal, this corn pudding is a tasty menu item for a Mexican-themed buffet.
Provençal Beef StewFor deep French flavor without a lot of effort, this stew steeps boneless chuck roast with tomato paste, vegetables, spices, and a little bit of red wine. To keep the lid on carbs and calories, potatoes are left out of the mix.
Black Bean SoupFor days when you feel lazy, this easy black bean soup lets the slow cooker build that "made from scratch" flavor with dried beans and traditional seasonings. Not fond of spicy dishes? Use Anaheim chile instead of serrano.
Rosemary Chicken Noodle SoupLight and dark meat chicken and vegetables simmer in broth with baby spinach, onions, and celery for a different twist on a classic. A splash of lemon juice and a sprinkle of rosemary help give this soup "fresh off the stovetop" flavor.
Slow-Cooker Meatloaf with Shiitake MushroomsA mixture of ground round, turkey, and meaty shiitake mushrooms, this easy meatloaf saves the mess and fuss of lighting the oven. Use leftovers for sandwiches or to create flavorful stuffed bell peppers.
White Bean and Chicken ChiliOne of those "killer" recipes that will wow any crowd, this nine-ingredient chili relies on pantry staples including canned white beans, broth, and roasted chilies. To build rich flavor, the chicken and onions are browned first in a skillet with garlic and cumin.
Slow Cooker Char Siu Pork RoastBoston pork butt roast becomes meltingly tender in a bath of Chinese barbecue flavors including five spice powder and hoisin sauce. Add a side of steamed rice or serve it on a hot dog bun and you'll still stay under 300 calories.
Thai Red Curry BeefJalapeño seeds add a slight kick to this Thai beef dish. If you want to decrease the heat, seed the jalapeño before mincing.
Slow-Cooker Blood Orange Fizzy Mulled WineThe slow cooker offers great convenience here, keeping the stovetop open for meal prep. With only five minutes of work on your end, this technique is the perfect go–to recipe when you're craving a warming cocktail in the cooler months.
Rosemary Slow-Cooker ChickenPerfectly seasoned and incredibly moist, this chicken is the perfect solution to a comforting homemade meal without all of the work standing over the stove. We suggest you serve with mashed sweet potatoes.
Slow-Cooker Beef Pot RoastPair this home-style favorite with mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce. Leftover meat makes great hot roast beef sandwiches the next day.
Slow-Cooker Turkey MeatballsWhether you're whipping up a pasta dish to go along or serving them alone as an appetizer, these flavorful Turkey Meatballs only require 20 minutes of prep.
Braised Pork Loin with Port and Dried PlumsThis tender meat makes a textbook slow-cooker meal. Soaked in savory flavors, this dish is a brilliant comfort food.
Sweet and Tangy Short RibsThis saucy dish is worthy of a dinner party; just serve with a side of brown rice or rice noodles. Cola is the secret ingredient, yielding a luscious sauce with great body.
Creamy White Bean Soup with Smoked Ham HocksCreamy, starchy, and filling, this hearty, rustic soup is the epitome of comfort. And convenient: Beans go in dry--no need to soak.
Hearty Oats and GrainsWhen you have a house full of guests who'd enjoy a wholesome, hearty breakfast at their own pace, the slow cooker can come to your rescue. Get it going first thing, and let folks serve themselves when they're ready to eat.
Chicken and Chickpea TagineHearty canned chickpeas hold up beautifully in the slow cooker, where they're combined with fragrant spices and just a little stock. Since the chicken cooks on top of the chickpea mixture and is not submerged in liquid, it can cook longer without suffering texturally.
Pork Roast with ApplesDinner couldn't get any easier than this! All it takes is five ingredients and 10 minutes of prep work, and when you come home after a busy day, you have succulent, flavorful pork roast ready to be served.
Pulled ChickenThrow it on a bun, in a salad, or alone; pulled chicken is absolutely delicious. Get that great restaurant taste right in the comfort of your own home, with little effort and time using your slow cooker.
Slow-Cooker Salsa ChickenCraving Mexican tonight? No problem! This recipe is perfect for homemade tacos, casseroles and taco salads.
Slow Cooker Hoppin' JohnWhether you're celebrating New Years or just craving a healthy Hoppin' John, this dish is perfect for you. If you're looking for more heat, kick it up a notch with a little more red pepper in the recipe and sprinkle the dish with hot sauce just before serving.

Box score
Philadelphia, Pa. – Drexel exploded for a season-high 18 goals in a convincing 18-5 victory against Lafayette. The Dragons won 19 face-offs and controlled possession throughout the game on the way to their fourth straight win. Scott Perri scored five goals to lead the Dragons, while Nick Trizano added three more. The Dragons improved to 5-3, while Lafayette fell to 2-5.
Drexel scored on its first possession when Perri netted his 20th goal of the season just 44 seconds into the game. Exactly two minutes later, Brendan Glynn gave the Dragons a 2-0 lead which they never relinquished. Stefan Bauer put the Leopards on the board for the first time halfway through the quarter. After that, thje teams traded goals, with Robert Church scoring for Drexel and Will Heffernan scoring for Lafayette with 1:58 left in the first quarter. It would be the last goal for the Leopards until late in the third period as the Dragons held Lafayette off the board for a stretch of more than 30 minutes. During that stretch Drexel scored 13 straight goals and took command of the game. The Dragons scored goals just 16 seconds apart to end the first period as Trizano and Brendan Glynn each had unassisted goals. They scored four more in the second quarter while keeping Lafayette off the board and went to intermission ahead, 9-2.
The second half started the same way the first half ended as Drexel won face-offs and controlled the tempo. Perri had three goals in the quarter, giving him five in the game. He now has 24 goals on the season. The Dragons also had goals by Trizano, Devin Thomas, Kris Franklin and Craig Owen in the period before Lafayette broke the drought when Greg Allis found the net with just 27 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Each team scored a pair of goals in the fourth period as reserves saw action for most of the quarter. Franklin Floyd and Allis tallied for the Leopards, while Kris Franklin scored his second goal of the game and Steve Chant recorded his first career goal.
The Dragons had outstanding performances by their two freshmen face-off men. Devin Thomas won 13 of his 14 attempts, came up with a game-high nine ground balls and scored a goal. Michael Roe was also effective, winning six of 11 draws with six ground balls.
Mark Manos made four saves for Drexel before being replaced by A.J. Froehlich with 11 minutes left in the game. Froehlich made three saves in the closing minutes. Ed Stubits turned aside 11 shots for the Leopards.

24-Hour Petition Against the Keystone XL Pipeline!
Not surprisingly, but unfortunately, Congressional efforts continue to try to "resuscitate" and fast-track a new decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. Green America strongly opposes bills that have been introduced in the Senate and House to wrest authority on this issue from the President and hand it over to the Congress or to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Postponing action on the pipeline pending a better understanding of its consequences was a move in the right direction by President Obama last month. A final impact report, with any integrity, will have to conclude the pipeline is a bad idea. Let's move forward now with developing our domestic, renewable energy industries!
Join Green America and our coalition partners at 350.org and many other organizations in signing a 24-hour petition to the Senate: No Keystone XL Pipeline! You can sign the petition and add your own message as well against dirty tar sands oil extraction and in support of investment in US renewable energy industries! Go to: 350.org/kxl
The pipeline has dire implications for climate change, human health, the environment, and the economy. Extracting dirty, Canadian tar sands oil, transporting it through the U.S., and exporting much if it via the TexasGulfCoastis an irresponsible strategy….unless you represent Big Oil. It does not serve the interests of the U.S.public that will have to endure oil spills, health problems, and rising fuel costs in Midwestern states that could lead to increased unemployment. It does not serve the interests of the Cree, Dene and Métis indigenous communities that now endure the consequences of tar sands extraction. Take action today at 350.org/kxl

What Is Community-Owned Solar?
Community solar arrays, sometimes referred to as a solar farm or solar garden, are centralized solar facilities owned by individual community members who receive credits on their electricity bill for the power produced. With community solar, any resident or business can take advantage of solar power, even renters! Customers receive the same financial benefits as they would if the solar panels were installed on their roof. Since CEC performs all of the maintenance and provides a warranty, consumers don't have to worry about maintenance or repair!
Clean Energy Collective
Clean Energy Collective (CEC) is the nation's leading developer of community-owned solar. With CEC, residential and commercial utility customers can own fully maintained solar panels in a local, centralized facility. CEC's proprietary RemoteMeter software credits customers for the clean power produced directly on their monthly electric bills. In one easy step, customers receive a positive financial payback and reduce pollution – without making any changes to their property.

Hello All! new to the forum and excited to work on a new Boba Fett Costume.
I purchased these pieces from someone online for a good price. The armor looks to be some type of fiberglass and not plastic as it has rough edges. I am very interested to hear about the gauntlets. I believe they are resin but not sure of the style or original supplier. The belt was custom made, and the compartments do not open. The one knee pad I got looks a little rough. Any input on what I have here will be helpful. I enjoy taking workable pieces like these and making them look better! Thanks for any thoughts.

Dear All!
How did I not manage to find this forum earlier?
I really want to purchase an online TEFL course today. I will soon be in transit from Copenhagen- UK- Hong Kong, and I am aiming to work hard and complete a teaching qualification before arriving in HK in early October so an online course is the only realistic option at this stage (I have some teaching experience as a BC language assistant and a classroom assistant).
I have spent the last 1-2 weeks scouring the internet for courses and I think I have 3 good options. Please help me chose one!!
INTESOL 100 hour online cert TESOL - £195
This is accredited as being at NQF Levels 3 by Ascentis BUT is 100 hours enough for a good teaching job in HK?
LTTC Certificate in TEFL 120 HOURS - £285
This Course leads to an EDI Level 4 Award Certificate BUT read some worrying comments about teachers and delays for diplomas.
INTESOL 150 hour online cert TESOL - £395
This is accredited as being at NQF Level 4 by Ascentis BUT it does seem pretty expensive.
Really looking forward to your responses.
Thanks in advance,

Well ?
Well ?
cod 1, uo, 2, 4/mw, mw2 and blops1 are all pretty good. haven't even played the majority of the halos.
I see a lot of people would rather play with barbie. Which pretty much confirms my theory.
never played either
If I had to choose, Halo because it's a sci-fi setting. Cod is just a bunch of dudes with small units yelling at me to do things quickly.
Lol small units.
well if i had to choose it would still be barbie ... unless this poll had Hello Kitty ...
if i make you sick so be it. you and many other hate me. im like a plague for you guys. carry on though all of you guys hate is funny to me
what do i not act like you want me to. you want me to be a clone? i express my self how i want to. if im such a bad guy then oh well. i will not change my self for any one. you hate me well i hate you.

Im not crazy you are crazy! Any ways you show me love i will show you love. Cant we just get along and some peace for once
halo doesn't feature ice cube calling someone a "communist piece of shit"
looks like Barbie is still superior to these casual games.
I bet Barbie uses a PC too.
