The Canisius College swimming and diving team returned to action for the first time in nearly a month and completed a sweep of Gannon on Saturday. The men took the meet 129-74 while the women bested the Knights 116-80. The women improved their dual record to 6-4 on the year, and the men moved to 8-2.
Canisius broke two Koessler Athletic Center Pool records in the meet. Sophomore Spencer Bray broke the KAC record in the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 16:26.07, and freshman Wyatt Sintay would break the pool mark in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:09.42).
The two record-setting performances were part of six individual victories on the men's side. In addition to his swim in the 1650-yard freestyle, Bray also took home a win in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:52.55. He also swam to a second place finish in the 200-yard backstroke. Sintay won the 200-yard IM, finishing in 1:59.25.
Freshman Colin Landweer won the 100-yard freestyle for the Griffs, posting a time of 49.09, while fellow freshman Cam MacDonald won the 50-yard freestyle in 22.52.
The women had a trio of swimmers with multiple individual victories on the afternoon, as sophomore Clare Battaglia, freshman Hannah Graesser and junior Marissa Oakey each took home two wins.
Battaglia swam to a time of 2:15.16 in the 200-yard backstroke, and also took the top spot in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:14.63. Oakey took home the 200-yard freestyle with at time of 1:58.91 and later won the 500-yard freestyle in 5:17.54.
Graesser won both sprint freestyles, posting a time of 24.87 in the 50, and following it up with a 53.86 in the 100-yard freestyle.
Senior Anna Schena won the 200-yard butterfly for the Griffs, swimming the event in 2:12.52.
The teams split the relays, with Gannon taking both 400-yard medley relays to start the meet, but Canisius took the top spot in both 200-yard freestyle relays to close out the meet.
The Griffs also dove in an exhibition prior to the meet as Gannon does not have a diving team. Sophomore Audrey Mulhisen posted the high score on the 1-meter dive at 219.30, while junior Taylor Epstein recorded the higher score on the high board, scoring 205.04 for the women. Junior Eddie Quarantillo posted a score of 285.74 on the 3-meter board and freshman Adam Bonk dove to a score of 292.50 to take meet-high scores for the men.
Canisius' next meet will be its final regular season contest of the 2013-14 season, and the Griffs will end it with longtime rival Niagara. The meet will be held on Jan. 18 at the Burt Flickenger Center on the campus of Erie Community College. It's scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.

many thanks

Was the silencer only on the older models? I did not know that, thanks
If you're goal is 300 I'd do the below. First purchase MUST be your AP. flash to stage 1 immediately! Seeing 300 is the goal this is the best way to go for you with tuning IMO as long as you're not an aggressive driver. No shop, no tune, just an OTS (off the shelf) map provided by the AP that you can setup yourself. Next is your DP (down pipe) as this will give you the best bang for the buck by far! I'd recommend Catted over non-Catted and either Grimmspeed or Invidia for brand. Then you can do the silencer delete to your air box and get a K&N drop in air filter. I'd stay away from any intake purchase unless you get a protune...which i wouldnt recommend to you personally. The silencer delete and drop in filter will bring your engine bay to life and allow you to hear the intake, turbo, and exhaust a little better. Then flash to stage 2 and enjoy! These mods should put you right around 300 which is where you wanna be. Leave the up pipe alone as there's no need to change it at all in your case, and spend the remaining couple hundred on a TiC Super Shifter set. This mod, along with your stage 2 setup will make you a very happy Scoob

I'd say with the CBE your gonna be sitting around 310ish yes. But you can spend the $800+ from the CBE on some MUCH needed tranny and suspension mods, still have the AP and DP and take a very minor loss in the HP you would've gained from the CBE. Without the CBE you're probably gonna be sitting around 285ish. For that minimal loss I personally think your money is a lot better spent in other areas like the tranny or suspension. But again, if the CBE is something you want then roll with that too.

It was as if the rain washed everything clean.
After the intensity of Boston's deadly manhunt for the killers of three people in a bomb attack that left 180 wounded during the Boston Marathon, Utah runners lit out early Saturday for their own race.
Common themes on T-shirts: "4-15-13 Boston" and "Run for Boston."
The storm broke not long after the Salt Lake City Marathon began, drenching contestants and those of us watching. The night before, we were mesmerized by news coverage of the hunt for the last bombing suspect, who was found in a boat and taken down by police.
By morning, though, it was a pleasure just to see those strong, self-assured runners and their various costumes. One guy wore a kilt and carried an American flag. Another's T-shirt proclaimed, "I smoke weed every day."
Two women jogged by, speaking in sign language. A gaggle of friends displayed matching mohawks.
Among the runners were clients of Odyssey House, a drug and alcohol treatment center in Salt Lake City. About 30 people had signed up to train for the race, but most dropped out, said Shelly Guillory, a nurse at the center.
But 13 people stuck with it, and Guillory waved them along, one by one, and stayed awhile for the lone straggler. Most had never made a commitment before, but this time they had, and Guillory was proud.
Down at Liberty Park, the rain was falling steadily and we all got colder and wetter. But we stuck it out, watching the half-marathoners arriving at the finish line. Some looked as if they'd run maybe a block; others were tapped out and halting but clearly intent on crossing the line.
Then one of the full-marathoners blew by, escorted by a motorcycle cop. I don't know if he was the winner, but he sure looked like one.
I must mention the shoes. They were every conceivable color, some not found in nature brilliant reddish-orange, electric green and psychedelic yellow. (Just watching them flash by made me feel a little psychedelic, too.)
By midmorning, the swarm of runners thinned out. Finishers found friends, families and umbrellas. People started drifting over to the fair in the middle of the park. I headed out.
Back in Boston, people celebrated into the night Friday, even as they remembered the dead and wounded, some of them marathoners who lost their legs. We here in Salt Lake City know the feeling; few of us will ever forget the 2007 Trolley Square murders.
So on Saturday, our marathoners and those of us watching found common cause with Bostonians. We know about shock and sorrow, but we also know that time is a healer.
One day, there may even be room for mercy, which, as Shakespeare wrote, "droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven."

Arsenal, Ajax and Valencia are locked together on five points at the top of Champions League Group B after the Gunners' disappointing 1-1 draw with the Dutch side at Highbury on Tuesday.
This game heralded the end of European football's winter break - although you would not know it on a chilly night in North London - and Arsène Wenger's side began their return in the best possible style.
After only five minutes, Sylvain Wiltord's powerful shot put the home side ahead. It seemed the perfect platform to go on and dominate a young, injury-hit Ajax side but the Dutch champions rallied remarkably well.
Nigel De Jong expertly equalised in the 17th minute and Ronald Koeman's side then threatened to take the lead. Arsenal upped their game in final 15 minutes of the half and continued to set the pace after the interval.
However, Dennis Bergkamp came closest to breaking the heart of his old side when he hit the post in the 71st minute.
Valencia's victory at Roma means three sides are tied at the top after four games. The Italians are the exception. They have not yet started their tally and frankly look out of the running. Arsenal's draw heaps pressure on next Wednesday's return game in Amsterdam.
Despite the 2-0 success at Old Trafford on Saturday, Wenger brought back the three players left out from that triumph - Gilberto, Bergkamp and Thierry Henry. Edu made way for his compatriot, Bergkamp replaced Francis Jeffers and, as Wiltord was retained up front in a 4-3-3 formation, Ray Parlour was on the bench as well.
They were the unforced changes. Pascal Cygan's elevation to the team came about after Martin Keown succumbed to a bad back on the day of the game.
Ajax had major problems with six potential first-choice players absent through injury. Arsenal took only five minutes to prey on that weakness. Patrick Vieira found Bergkamp who sent Wiltord clear wide on the right. He dribbled into the area and powered his shot past Ajax keeper Bogdan Lobont at the near post.
Arsenal had their tails up, the first goal is often so crucial in these high-pressure Champions League ties at Highbury. Henry was buzzing around the Ajax box to good effect and, in the 12th minute, bamboozled his defender 25 yards out before sending a shot inches over the bar.
We seemed set for a simple night at Highbury. How wrong we were. In the 17th minute, Thomas Galasek's well-flighted cross-field pass floated over Ashley Cole at the far post and De Jong's excellent first touch allowed him to lift the ball over the advancing David Seaman.
It was the first goal Ajax had scored in England since they hit the net against Stoke City 28 years ago.
A minute later only a combination of Sol Campbell and Lauren stopped Zlatan Ibrahimovic powering clear in the area.
The visitors had now wrestled the initiative and Seaman gratefully held onto Maxwell's low shot in the 26th minute with a couple of strikers in close attendance.
The urgency returned to Arsenal in the final 15 minutes of the half. Robert Pires teased his marker before sending a curling shot whizzing just wide of the far post from 25 yards out. He fared somewhat worse seven minutes before the break, bursting past his marker but then skying his shot over the bar when well placed.
Just before the interval, Henry's long-range shot was tipped away by Lobont and the onrushing Pires just failed to connect with the loose ball in front of an open goal.
A hip injury prevented Seaman re-appearing for the second half so Stuart Taylor came off the bench. It is a role he is becoming used to, he famously came on at half time at Deportivo La Coruna last season and replaced Rami Shaaban in the Premiership game at Old Trafford earlier this season.
Taylor would have relieved to see Andy van der Meyde blaze over seven minutes after the break. But, with one exception, he spent most of the half as an alert spectator.
A mistake by his opposite number nearly gifted Arsenal the lead in the 54th minute. Lobont hurtled out of his area to block but his half-clearance fell to Wiltord who found Pires on the right just outside the area. He looked up and arrowed a low cross to Gilberto at the far post. However Lobont had recovered enough ground to smother his shot at the near post.
Suddenly Arsenal were on top. A clever ball from Pires released Cole on the left side of the Ajax penalty area and his low cross was miskicked by Galasek but, alas for Arsenal, only for a corner.
Still Highbury took heart from Bergkamp's invention. His flick gave Gilberto the chance to blaze narrowly over in the 65th minute. Six minutes later he nearly did it all himself. The Dutchman's bobbling shot left Lobont helpless as it bounced off the post and away to safety.
Immediately after that, Wenger threw on Jeffers in place of Gilberto. It left Arsenal playing 4-2-4 at times during the closing stages.
However the chance of the half fell to substitute Nordin Boukhari with four minutes left. He beat Taylor to Steven Pienaar's cross but could not divert it into the empty net.GROUP B TeamPldWDLFAPts Ajax3120435 ARSENAL3120425 Valencia3120215 AS Roma3003260

|I agree with tech,dont buy that intake
|YES, the square port intake and spacer will fit on oval port heads. Use square port gaskets. The port mis match is at the top and won't bother anything. A common use thing back in the day.. Just don't try an oval port intake on square port heads. That won't work at all...
Many years ago when we were racing go-karts, I used JB Weld to re-shape the intake port on a Briggs 4-stroke. It made a killer motor out of it. So, if I can do it with a Briggs, you can do it with a BBC. This stuff ain't rocket surgery.
Assuming that you really, really, really like this intake manifold and can't live without it and assuming that you really, really, really like these heads and can't live without them, I would proceed like this.
I'd clean the intake with hot, soapy water in the runners, then glass bead or sandblast the last 2-3 inches of the runners so that JB Weld or other epoxy would stick to the aluminum. I'd bolt up the oval port spacer plates on each side of the intake and begin applying and smoothing epoxy to the inside of the runners with my fingers to merge into the oval port shape and size.
Jomar High Performance Engine Parts and Tools - Aluminum AN Fitting Wrenches
While I was at it, I think I'd epoxy the plates to the manifold to make it a one-piece arrangement. I also think I'd figure a way to include a fine stainless, aluminum, copper or brass mesh screen between the plates and the heads to catch any epoxy that might break off.
Aluminum wire mesh data, prices, helpful information
I suspect that any hardware store would sell it in small quantities, stainless, copper, brass, aluminum. I'd sandwich it between two intake gaskets.
OK, there it is, leaving myself wide open for lambasting. Let the critics in....

Voyager shouldn't even count as sci-fi. It's the worst Trek series of them all. Captain Mrs. Columbo is just the worst and the holographic doctor is the most interesting character on the ship. Think about that for a second. A freaking hologram is the most interesting character on a ship of Starfleet misfits and terrorists forced to work together.
I like how I didn't even see the "Revolution" at first, just "evolution". And I like how it works both ways.
Is it bad for me to admit I like JP3? Not as much as the original obviously, but still JP3 is a fun movie. I'm not trying to forget it.
Ah, I've never seen Stargate. I thought the Jackal was from The Mummy.

I was a bit surprised by people listing it as Stargate. As a long-time Stargate fan, it doesn't at all look to me like it's from that movie or the series.
The Horus Guard (the jackal guards under Ra and Horus) are human men who wear a helmet that sits easily another foot or so above their heads. It looks disproportioned.
The image on this shirt design is most assuredly not a Horus Guard.

Many different types of firms have channel partners or others that control a significant part of the actual experience with customers. Automobile companies have dealers, insurance and real estate firms have independent agents, software companies have value-added resellers (VARs), restaurants and hotels have franchises, and heavy equipment manufacturers have resellers. Even the brokers or financial advisors within financial services organizations can act in many ways like these external partners.
While companies may not have direct control over these partners, firms are waking up to the fact that there are ways to influence these organizations to provide a better customer experience. To ensure that partners enhance the customer experience (CX):

While I mean to cause no offense in regards to Oister, or anyone whom is overweight.
Genes and other medical reasons for why you are that size, aren't really all that applicable.
Whilst, yes, you may put on weight easier, you may have a harder time losing weight and other such things which come with genetics, you have to adjust your diet to match your body's needs.
Your body has a calorific requirement, for some the line between "Underfed" and "Overfed" may be smaller, it's a case of finding the right balance.
As for this topic however, whilst there is nothing in a rules to say "Don't do this", it borders on being a bit rude to call somebody out.
Oister is capable of making a topic himself, and unlocking this one. If he so desires. Forcing his hand and calling him out isn't really socially acceptable.
And, so, I'm going to lock this topic. By all means continue discussion in your other thread, but, please do not directly aim challenge people without their agreement to take part.
LOL! I've got nothing to prove to yall, but yesterday was - yogurt and English muffin for breakfast, turkey sammich for lunch and I ended up eating dinner stupidly late, but it was some yummy roasted potatoes I made and forgot.
Actually been living vegetarian since January first, minus that sandwich and some pepperoni because I forgot :P I likes me some animals too much so I feel bad eating them. I'd do this but I doubt it would be a good example because I'm adapting to this vegetarian thing.
As for activity, I didn't do shit. It's -6 out right now lol. I'm hibernating yo!
And yeah, I'd rather keep this locked. I feel like things would get nasty, as much as I don't care. We don't need drama and arguments. Op, feel free to pm me though. If I could setup a thread limited to us I'd go for it :P I've got nothing to hide
Edit: Oh, right, I don't drink soda either I'm on a medication that makes the carbonation really burn the inside of my mouth :c I do have a jack and ginger from time to time though!

Alexa Hirschfeld: Back when we were first getting off the ground, I made an effort to dress conservatively for meetings because I thought I needed to appear like I was more concerned about my work than my looks. But over time, I started to realize that I didn't look like everybody in the room anyway, since most of the people we were meeting with were men. Now I express myself freely. I'm already respected when I go to meetings—I don't need to dress like "the boss."

When Lizzy Lozano graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 2002, it was a dream come true for the international studies major. She had felt that her chance to afford a college education was limited.
But thanks to the Project GRAD College Institute, Lozano became one of hundreds of students who received scholarships that helped make it possible for her to obtain a quality college education. Project GRAD is a nonprofit organization that seeks to increase high school graduation and college attendance rates among economically disadvantaged and minority students.
Lozano attended a Project GRAD Summer Institute at Cornell University while in high school and earned a $4,000 scholarship from Project GRAD to go to a college of her choice.
"It was because of Project GRAD and the Cornell experience that I was convinced I wanted to go to a private college," she said. "I fell in love with Cornell. I liked the small, private university setting. And with St. Thomas here in Houston, it was a great fit for me."
Recently, Lozano was hand-picked to represent Project GRAD at a congressional briefing in Washington, D.C. She spoke on behalf of the program that fueled her college aspirations. Her efforts will help to raise the profile of the program and will help Project GRAD secure federal funding for scholarships.
This summer, area high school students wishing to follow that same path can attend a Project GRAD institute now held on the UST campus from July 7-28. Dr. Emiliano Gonzalez serves as director for the three-week summer program, which offers college-bound students the chance to explore potential career options and to strengthen their academic skills.
Ann Stiles, executive director for Project GRAD Houston, said approximately 70 students from Jeff Davis or Reagan high schools will participate in the program this summer, taking classes in web design, multicultural literature and debate.
"The program is designed to give students access to this enriched academic experience so that they can apply the knowledge they're getting in a university setting," Stiles said. "Most of these students are often the first in their family to have higher education as a possibility for them. Our graduation rates are actually exceeding national rates. This just proves that college rates among inner-city students aren't all about the kids; it's just a matter of bringing the right amount of resources to deserving students."
Project GRAD, which stands for Graduation Really Achieves Dreams, awards about 650 scholarships a year to inner-city students. Since its inception in 1994, Project GRAD Houston has awarded more than $16 million in college scholarships to more than 4,000 HISD students in the Davis, Reagan, Sam Houston, Wheatley and Yates high schools.

As most folks know, karaoke (from the Japanese for "empty orchestra") means singing along to music while following the lyrics on a TV or video screen. A karaoke music track strips away Billy Joel's or Alannis Morisette's voice so you can substitute your own by singing into a microphone. The first karaoke machines were large and expensive, so they were used mostly in bars and restaurants, where users would pay a small fee to sing. Today, however, home karaoke machines are widely available, and many of the best-rated ones cost $200 or less.
Most home karaoke machines integrate with your home entertainment gear, playing through your stereo's speakers and scrolling lyrics on your TV screen. Some can also double as a CD or DVD player. In addition, there are now iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) and Android apps that can turn a smartphone or tablet into a karaoke player.
Karaoke machines can get their music from a variety of sources. Some use CD+Gs (CD plus graphics), special music CDs with the vocal tracks removed and graphics added to display the song lyrics. Others have auxiliary inputs so you can plug in and play music from an MP3 player, smartphone or tablet. Some machines can turn songs from regular CDs or MP3 files into karaoke tracks by editing out the vocals, although you may have to supply your own lyrics with these. Another feature many users like is the ability to synch up with YouTube, where it's possible to find many songs complete with lyrics for free.
To find the best karaoke machines, we consulted both websites devoted to karaoke and reviews from users at retail sites such as Amazon.com. We looked for karaoke players that combine good sound quality, ease of use and durability with the features users appreciate most, such as the ability to accept music from a wide variety of devices. We also looked at professional reviews of karaoke apps from sources such as The New York Times and MacLife magazine, as well as overall ratings from users at app stores. We considered each app's features and ease of use, as well as the variety of music available to use with it.
Professional karaoke setups can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but for a basic home system, paying more doesn't necessarily get you better performance. In fact, one of the most highly recommended karaoke machines on the market is the budget-priced Electrohome EAKAR300 (Est. $70) . This machine includes both a CD+G player and an auxiliary input for an MP3 player, but there's no built-in screen, so you must hook it up to a TV set to display lyrics.
The Electrohome EAKAR300 gets 5 stars from both KaraokeMachineCritics.com and KaraokeMachineReviews.org, the two main sites we found for reviews of karaoke machines. One feature the critics especially love is the Auto Voice Control (AVC) Singing Coach, which prompts vocalists when they forget the words to a song. Reviewers are also impressed with the power the machine's small built-in speaker can pack. Users at Amazon.com agree that the Electrohome has powerful sound, and they like its easy setup. However, many say that the microphone isn't very good and recommend upgrading it. We also saw a few complaints about durability.
The Singing Machine ISM-1028Xa (Est. $180) is more feature-packed, but also much pricier. KaraokeMachineCritics.com describes it as a cross between a home karaoke machine and a high-end professional system. Like the Electrohome, the Singing Machine can play CD+Gs. It also has a dock for an older iPod or iPhone, but you'll need an adapter to use it with a newer device that has a Lightning connector; also, it doesn't work with other MP3 players. Features include the ability to digitally change the key of a song to fit the singer's voice. The scrolling song lyrics can be displayed on a built-in screen or sent to an attached TV. Both professionals and owners praise the sound quality from the largish speakers and ease of use, and owners especially like how easy it is to use the machine with YouTube. However, the Singing Machine gets more complaints about durability than the Electrohome, and users also say the two included microphones are of poor quality.
There are many karaoke machines on the market designed specifically for kids. These may include features such as flashing lights or tie-ins with popular characters, such as Barbie or Monster High. However, most of these kiddie machines don't fare particularly well in either professional or user reviews. A better choice for kids, according to our sources, is the Memorex Singstand 2 MKS-SS2 (Est. $55) . This karaoke machine is basically a microphone on a stand (with a jack for a second, optional mike) with a universal line-in through which you can connect an MP3 player, tablet or smartphone. There are two small speakers in the base, but you can also connect the player to a stereo system for better sound.
This is the top-rated karaoke machine for home use at KaraokeMachineCritics.com, and it also earns a decent review at KaraokeMachineReviews.org. The reviewers love the machine's AVC feature and the separate volume controls for the vocals and backing tracks. Neither site specifically identifies this as a kids' machine, but we found hundreds of reviews from users at Amazon.com and ToysRUs.com who recommend this karaoke player for kids of all ages. Its kid-friendly features include sturdy construction, ease of use and the ability to use it with any phone or tablet. Most of the complaints we found came from users who don't have the machine plugged in to external speakers; they say the machine's built-in speakers are weak and produce distortion at high volumes.

ECO-STRUCTURE recently caught up with Farah Ahmad, media spokesperson for the Solar Roofpod, the City College of New York's entry for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon.
How is your solar paneling unique?
To ensure optimal performance, the photovoltaic design uses microinverters in each individual panel, rather than regular inverters, to prevent shadows that might fall on only a portion of the array from decreasing the total output—as might happen in the city from leaves, snow, and the shadows of neighboring buildings.
What other sustainable features have you incorporated into your design?
We used easily renewable (and fast-growing) materials for the interior, such as light-colored cork floors, poplar framing, and bamboo-plywood paneling. The HVAC system is driven by the sun's thermal energy, using much less electricity from the PV array than a vapor-compression system. Solar thermal collectors on the solar trellis gather the sun's heat, making direct use of this often-neglected abundant energy source. The thermal energy runs the adsorption system as well as the radiant floor system for cooling and heating. Our irrigation system is another sustainable feature—we collect stormwater and graywater for irrigation.
To integrate all the active systems of the Roofpod, the energy management and control system is designed to ensure seamless levels of comfort and to regulate energy consumption for maximum efficiency. The integrated monitoring system senses and responds to weather conditions by regulating artificial light levels and controlling exterior shading. Sensors collect lighting, heating, and cooling performance data and assemble it in a logger system. A next-generation graphic digital display allows the inhabitants to be aware of the Roofpod's minute-to-minute performance, encouraging active energy-conscientiousness and potentially assisting the city with peak load management.
What was the inspiration of your design, and does it display any regional influences?
As architecture and engineering students, we are the future custodians of New York City. Many of us in Team New York came here as immigrants from all over the world; we see tremendous potential to enhance our diverse and vibrant global city through innovative design. We saw rooftop spaces in our own city as the most underutilized spaces and wanted to take advantage of the large solar exposure they offer.
How has the new affordability criteria affected the design of your house?
Making a home with more attractive features can negatively impact us in the competition: the houses that look "dull" score higher points because they don't spend as much on attractive features. We lose points in the Affordability contest at the risk of making our house attractive. With our specific competition entry, we utilized attractive façade elements, which helped drive the cost up.
What will happen to the house after the Solar Decathlon?
It will be assembled permanently on a rooftop location at the City College of New York's campus as an office space, to be used by students to engage them in further research.

"Made this with a roll of Jimmy Dean regular sausage since I was out of ground beef and it was prettty good. I left out the garlic salt because the sausage is salty enough and well seasoned with other spices. Next time I might try the hot sausage variety for a little more kick. Thanks for a tasty low carb recipe. My son said he thought it would be better with some cubed, frozen hash browns mixed it. But, that wouldn't make it low carb anymore."

Earth Science Concepts
Rocks and Minerals
Rocks and minerals are all around us! They help us to develop new technologies and are used in our everday lives. Our use of rocks and minerals extends from building material, cosmetics, cars, roads, and appliances. In order maintain a healthy lifestyle and strengthen the body, humans need to consume minerals daily. Rocks and minerals play a valuable role in natural systems such as providing habitat like the cliffs at Grand Canyon National Park where endangered condors nest, or provide soil nutrients in Redwood where the tallest trees in the world grow.
Rocks and minerals are important for learning about earth materials, structure, and systems. Studying these natural objects incorporates an understanding of earth science, chemistry, physics, and math. The learner can walk away with an understanding of crystal geometry, the ability to visualize 3-D objects, or knowing rates of crystallization.
Natural objects, such as rocks and minerals, contribute to the beauty and wonderment of the National Parks and should be left, as they were found, so that others can experience a sense of discovery.
It's All About: Minerals
It's All About: Rocks
Rocks are all around us. They make up the backbones of hills and mountains and the foundations of plains and valleys. Beneath the soil you walk on and the deep layers of soft mud that cover the ocean basins is a basement of hard rock. Learn what rocks are made of, where they come from, and how they are classified.

UPDATE: Group Wants Nativity Moved at Travis AFB
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has threatened to sue Travis Air Force Base unless they remove or relocate a Nativity scene and a Menorah currently on display on a major thoroughfare at the military installation.
"This conspicuous display of ritual objects is a clear endorsement of religion in violation of the Establishment clause of the First Amendment, and must either be removed from the premises or moved to a more appropriate location on the Air Force Base to ensure compliance with the United States Constitution," wrote attorney Katherine Ritchey on behalf of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.
A spokesman for Travis AFB told Fox News & Commentary that they had received the letter and have turned it over to legal counsel. For now, they said, the Nativity Scene and Menorah remain on display.
The Nativity features figures representing the baby Jesus, the Virgin Mary, Joseph and the Wise Men. Adjacent to the Nativity is the Menorah.
"There is no doubt that a reasonable person, upon viewing these two religious symbols, would believe that they convey anything but a religious message," Ritchey wrote.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation accused the Air Force of endorsing 'rituals and beliefs associated with that faith."
The MRFF said they received a letter from an anonymous airman complaining about the holiday decorations and what he called the "tyranny of the majority."
"The presence of these clearly religious displays on the main corner of the base deeply concerns me. I am not alone in my feelings of distress," the anonymous airman wrote. "I know many other people are similarly offended and confused."
"I joined the military to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to spread the gospel," the airman added. "I fear that the religious symbols so prominently displayed on my Air Force Base convey a different message."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, blasted the threat and called it "yet another flyby-attack on Christianity."
"No one is forced to stand in front of the Nativity, and salute it, but people in this country should have the right to celebrate Christmas and what it means," Perkins told Fox News & Commentary.
Perkins cited a Gallup poll that suggested more than 95 percent of the nation celebrate Christmas – and a Pew Research poll that indicated 78 percent of Americans identify as Christian.
"Increasingly, people are saying it is time to stop the bombardment of our religious freedom by this zealous. Minority," Perkins said.
Unless the displays are immediately removed, the MRFF threatened to take legal action.
Editor's note: A previously published version of this story included the headline "Atheists Declare War on Travis AFB." We have since updated the headline and clarified points in the article to reflect the same.

Rockne: Town ordinance to protect public corporation lease terms
October 3, 2012
The Breckenridge Ski Resort (owned by Vail Associates) has a lease with the U.S. Forest Service that provides exclusive rights to offer ski lessons on certain national forest land abutting the town of Breckenridge. The town of Breckenridge is not party to, or part of this agreement.
Now, because it is difficult for the ski area to police this exclusivity themselves, the town is helping them out by proposing an ordinance making this term of their lease an illegal act in Breckenridge. With the lass of this ordinance, Breckenridge police officers will be empowered to take immediate enforcement action and the cases will be written into Breckenridge Municipal Court.
How insane is this? Involving our police and our courts with all the costs involved to protect the terms of a public corporation's lease with another party. And what do we get in return? Nothing!
For years Vail Associates has fought paying any lift tickets sales tax here in Breckenridge to help with transportation and other costs directly related to them, even though they have paid a 4 percent lift ticket tax in Vail for 30 years or more.
For years Vail Associates has fought paying any town sales tax on their mountain restaurants even though all their food and supplies are delivered to the base of the ski mountain within town limits.
The stated justification for this new ordinance and assumption is that the person offering these underground ski lessons meet "at the base of the ski mountain, within town limits, to exchange payment."
Maybe, if the ski area agrees to a town sales tax on their mountain restaurants, the town could consider the passage of this ordinance. At least extra costs to the town would be covered.
However, the act of teaching skiing without being approved by the ski area is already a federal law and the infraction always takes place outside the town limits, on the mountain which is in the county. The ski area can already prosecute, pull passes, ban future passes but if they still need law enforcement to assist them, it's the county sheriff who has jurisdiction, not the town of Breckenridge.

This was included in a generous gift box from Bob Ross a while back (thanks, Bob!) and for one reason or another I never got around to opening it until I rediscovered it just in time for this month's Wine Focus. At the age of seven, and having been stored under less-than-ideal passive conditions for the past couple of years, I figured it would be a fine test of the conventional wisdom that the top bottlings of the Beaujolais "Cru" villages can benefit from age, and that they turn "Burgundian" with extended cellar time. Sho' 'nuff! Growing quite funky but distinctly still alive, it showed abundant "barnyard" on the nose, not that there's anything wrong with that; remarkable "sweet" red fruit on the palate, more like a 20-year-old Burg than a 7-year Bojo, but a very fine old-wine experience nonetheless.

Michel Tete 1999 Domaine du Clos du Fief Juliénas "Cuvée Prestige" (Gift)
Very dark reddish-purple, black at the center. Funky, earthy, distinct "barnyard" becomes increasingly evident with time in the glass; there's still some plummy fruit behind it, though; and the flavor - oh, the flavor! Sweet red fruit, clean and appealing, very much like a fine and well preserved older Burgundy. Remarkable. U.S. importer: LDM Wines Inc., NYC; Louis/Dressner Selections. (Aug. 3, 2006)
FOOD MATCH: Worked as well as a Burg - maybe even worked better than the low-end Moillard 2004 Bourgogne "Tradition" reported elsewhere - with wild sockeye salmon.
VALUE: Gift, N/A. Wine-Searcher shows no market for older Clos du Fief; the 2004 and 2005 are listed under $20 at a couple of NYC merchants.
WHEN TO DRINK: Hard to gauge. It's already about as old as the conventional wisdom suggests it should go, and those funky, barnyardy aromas fall apart pretty fast in the glass. But that lovely, old-red sweet fruit just goes on and on and on.
Here's a short fact sheet on a more recent Clos du Fief from Polaner Selections, an importer.

The Ludwig Drum Company was founded in 1909 by William F. Ludwig and Theobald Ludwig in Chicago. The company started with a concept for the design and manufacturing of a functional bass drum pedal. In the era of silent film where musical performances were live, Ludwig specialized in sound effects to service that market. At this time, the company was known as Ludwig and Ludwig.
Drum making soon followed with the development of snare drums and a revolutionary design of Balanced Action tuning timpani in 1916. In 1917, Ludwig was contracted to build rope drums to support World War I. During that time, Theobald Ludwig passed away and William Ludwig continued on his own designing new products.
Revolutionary new designs and innovative products continued to be released. The Black Beauty Snare Drum, still made today, was designed in the pre-depression era between 1926-1930. As films became available with a recorded track, and the results of the Depression were felt, Ludwig sold his company to C.G. Conn, which also owned Leedy Drums. William Ludwig retained his role with the company and moved the operations to Elkhart, Indiana.
In 1936, William left C.G. Conn to start his own company. By 1937, this new company was known as W.F.L. and was a competitor to the Ludwig and Leedy Company owned by C.G. Conn. In 1937 William's son, Bill Ludwig Jr., began assisting his father with the new company. The first significant product design was a revolution to the bass drum pedal known as the "Speed King".
In 1955, C.G. Conn decided to focus on their core business of band instruments. They sold the Ludwig name back to William Ludwig and he changed his company's name to the Ludwig Drum Company. Ludwig continued growing the product offering adding marching drums, concert drums, timpani, snare drums, and drum sets.
On February 9, 1964, Ringo Starr and The Beatles changed everything for the Ludwig Drum Company when they performed live on the Ed Sullivan Show in front of millions. Ringo's Black Oyster Pearl 4 piece drum set prominently displayed the Ludwig name for all to see.
From that point, the company continued to expand. The Musser Mallet Company was acquired by Ludwig in 1965 creating a "Total Percussion" company that included mallet instruments and drums. In 1973, William Ludwig Sr. passed away and Bill Ludwig Jr. took over as President. In 1981, at 65 years of age, Bill sold the company to the Selmer Company. The Ludwig Factory in Chicago was relocated to Monroe, North Carolina in 1984, where it resides today. Bill Ludwig Jr., who changed his name to Bill Ludwig II, became referred to as "The Chief" and stayed active in the business even in retirement. William F. Ludwig II passed away in March of 2008 at the age of 91.

Let me first say all my hunting rifles are Remingtons except for pone that was handed down to me. Its a Pre-64 Winchester 3006 with a short stock and old...old lyman scope. It is still a nail driver and functioning perfect. The problem is the stock is too short for me...I will keep the old stock my grandfather marked his deer kills and pig kills in notches on the stock...and it needs a better scope.
What are my options. I want to keep a wooden stock...something about hard wood in your hand...yes all puns intended...but need to know options for scope rings, mount and optics. For optics Im thinking a 3x9 leopold I have laying around.
What else can be done to speed this thing up? or should I with this Pre-64?

5. I did it in Illustrator. The shadows and highlights are percentages of the main colors. There would be a white underbase under the quarks.
It baffles me as to why so many people like this. A red design on a red background makes it difficult to distinguish from the shirt itself.

Good to know! I just wanted to check.
On the assumption that this is a serious entry, you need to make some adjustments to this if you don't want it rejected.
1-No photos are allowed. Woot does not have the machinery necessary to print photos. And even if they could, it has to be your photo. Unless you have a large format telescope, the photos here probably aren't yours.
2-The subject matter could cause this to be rejected. Since woot prints kids's shirts as well, they say that shirts should be PG-13. But PG-9 is more like it.
Cute idea and nice execution!
Re: Exploring the Stars
awesome. love it.
lyonscc wrote:Thank you.
The background is all random (from a mathematical filter), and the foreground was all done from scratch, using Illustrator brushes and tools. The Golden Mean commonly shows up in nature pics (there was a derby that had it as part of the theme last year, too, I believe) in various forms. And the alchemy symbols were all pulled from my college days, where I was a member of a Chemistry fraternity and delved into alchemical history...
This is amazing! I think I was in that same chemistry group in college. We also memorized the alchemical symbols and their meanings. This absolutely has my vote. Fingers crossed!

text: Normally I would probably not bother to write about an engagement announcement, but since Janet Jackson is usually married for years before we know anything about her love life I thought I would write about her recent engagement. I don't think Janet is going to have any money problems anymore. Presumably the rumor of money problems are one of the reasons that Janet made the grab for Katherine Jackson and the chance to get control of the millions of dollars sloshing around his kids. Janet's husband to be is Wissam Al Mana. No, not Wiz Khalifa. This guy owns retail. Lots of it. The ring he gave Janet is so big and expensive she does not wear it for fear it will get lost or stolen. I think it is also because she likes to keep everything secret. Do you think he likes it when she uses her velvet rope?

Samuel Adjei U20 Ghana National Team Update
Rising junior Samuel Adjei was one of 19 players called up to the U20 Ghana National Team in preparation for qualifying at the 2013 African Youth Championship. The players, all foreign-based, underwent a three-day exercise beginning Saturday, June 9th in Legon. In an ICGaels.com exclusive, Adjei talks about the experience and his excitement about representing his country.
Training has gone well here in Ghana, where I have been given the opportunity to play myself onto the U20 squad for a qualifying game against Uganda and a friendly against Egypt. It has been great to be a leader back at Iona, and now this chance is very exciting for my future in soccer.
The training camp was grueling and eye-opening, but I definitely learned and improved as it progressed. Rather than a three-day camp, as I had expected, it became a week-long session concluding with two local games. In the first, I started and played 70 minutes, scoring one goal and assisting on another in our 5-1 win. In the second, I was substituted in during the second half, and even managed to score our goal in the 1-1 tie. When decision time would come, coach planned to select six or seven foreign players of the 19 at camp to join the team.
I have kept myself busy for a little while, training with Liberty Professionals FC, a professional team in the area. I have also done interviews and had appearances on Asempa FM, a popular radio station, and The Daily Graphic, a popular newspaper. The African style of play is especially tough and physical, so I need to stay in shape to play my best when given opportunities. I am still adjusting to this style, but I have faith that everything will keep progressing.
Coach told me even before the official release of rosters that I was selected as one of the foreign players to be on his team. It feels great that my hard work thus far as paid off. I cannot wait to keep being a part of a national team.
Pick-up games are common here, especially on Mondays, when professionals come out to play and keep their game sharp. I got to play with some famous soccer stars from this nation, and it has been a lot of fun. In particular, it was great to meet Asamoah Gyan, a Ghana star who is a member of Al Ain. Also, I met two members of the Ghana Black Stars, the senior national team. Afriyie Acquah plays professionally for Palermo in Italy, and John Boye plays for Rennes.
I cannot believe how much more I have gotten out of this experience than I had expected. I look forward to being part of the U20 Ghana team and proving that I can keep playing at a high level.

Wes Montgomery
It had taken Wes a long time to become an overnight success. He started to teach himself guitar in 1943 (using his thumb rather than a pick) and toured with Lionel Hampton during 1948-1950; he can be heard on a few broadcasts from the period. But then Montgomery returned to Indianapolis, where he was in obscurity during much of the 1950s, working a day job and playing at clubs most nights. He recorded with his brothers vibraphonist Buddy and electric bassist Monk during 1957-1959 and made his first Riverside album (1959) in a trio with organist Melvin Rhyne. In 1960 the release of his album The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery made him famous in the jazz world. Other than a brief time playing with the John Coltrane Sextet (which also included Eric Dolphy) later in the year, Wes would be a leader for the rest of his life.
Montgomery's recordings can be easily divided into three periods. His Riverside dates (1959-1963) are his most spontaneous jazz outings, small-group sessions with such sidemen as Tommy Flanagan, James Clay, Victor Feldman, Hank Jones, Johnny Griffin, and Mel Rhyne. The one exception was the ironically titled Fusion!, a ballad date with a string section. All of the Riverside recordings have been reissued in a massive 12-CD box set. With the collapse of Riverside, Montgomery moved over to Verve, where during 1964-1966 he recorded an interesting series of mostly orchestral dates with arranger Don Sebesky and producer Creed Taylor. These records were generally a good balance between jazz and accessibility, even if the best performances were small-group outings with either the Wynton Kelly Trio or Jimmy Smith.
In 1967 Wes signed with Creed Taylor at A&M and during 1967-1968 he recorded three best-selling albums that found him merely stating simple pop melodies while backed by strings and woodwinds. His jazz fans were upset, but Montgomery's albums were played on AM radio during the period. He helped introduce listeners to jazz, and his live performances were as freewheeling as his earlier Riverside dates. Unfortunately at the height of his success, he died of a heart attack. However, Montgomery's influence is still felt on many young guitarists. ~ Scott Yanow

Rihanna: Creeping up on Madonna's #1 Singles Status
Posted Wednesday November 21, 2012 2:15 PM GMT
She constantly puts out great music, and Rihanna is poised to tie Madonna for the fourth-most #1 songs in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Thanks to her brand new "Diamonds" track (12th overall), Ri-Ri will achieve the coveted spot as of next week's figures. From here, the "Umbrella" songstress will continue to try and climb the ranks, and at this rate it seems likely she'll catch up with Michael Jackson's 13 #1 hits.
But she'll have to really pull out all the stops if she hopes to eclipse Mariah Care (18 #1s) and the legendary Beatles (20 #1s).
Rihanna is also the fastest female to reach 12 #1 sings, having accomplished the feat in six years and seven months.

text: Hello everybody, I just got a quote from a sporting goods store here on this handgun and based on what I've seen around on the internet and everything it seems like a pretty good price, I was just wondering what you guys thought. As stated in the title of the thread it is a CZ85 Combat Dual Tone, and they quoted me $550 (new of course). Also, the kid told me (he was very nice), that there's a 2008 as well as a 2007 model number and they're both the same price. Any differences that you guys know of. I appreciate your help/input!

I own a SR9 and a Kahr not the .40 however. The trigger on the Kahr is heads and shoulders better then the SR9. The Kahr trigger is one of its assets. The smooth pull is long and smooth so the trigger is the safety. If you buy it and shot it you will learn to use it and love it I think.
The SR9 is a very good weapon....very good! the trigger is however a bit sticky and hard to manage. I shoot my SR9 alot so I have become very good at it. i just ordered a Ghost trigger bar for it to make it a smoother shorter pull.If that works like I hope it does the SR9 will be a great gun!

The world's largest UN peacekeeping effort risks failing as more nations decide to withdraw their UN contingent that is stationed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Alan Doss, a top UN official in the Congo, said India is considering having its soldiers return home which would mean about one-fourth of UN forces would no longer be in the country. Six months ago, the UN asked other nations to send troops but there has not been a single offer of assistance. The reality is the present UN force is unable to do anything to halt the murder of people or the rape of women in the country. As the Congo's economy collapses, partly due to war and partly due to a world wide drop in commodity prices, people are starving even as they try to survive against government and rebel forces that regard the riches of the Congo as rightfully their possession.
A major source of problems in the Congo is the behavior of its neighbors in Rwanda and Uganda from whence rebel forces migrate in search of the spoils available due to the ineffective government in the Congo. Of course, Congolese troops are also engaged in stealing, murder and rape. Cry the beloved people of the Congo, no one cares about your survival. Perhaps, if a large oil source were uncovered, American troops would head for the area and initiate a surge of force to defeat the rebels.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Walter, Apr 18, 2013.
Ginobili needs to wake up. I think he will retire after the Finals.
How about the Steve Javie comments. After Chris Bosh catapults into a world class flop after being slightly touched by Tim Duncan...."that's a a good call. The flop had nothing to do with the initail foul."
I have been on the SanAntonio bandwagon since the 2nd round. They could have really twisted the knife with a win last night. Now its tie at 2-2 , advantage goes back to Miami. And Yes Gino needs to wake up, could not hit the side of a barn lately. Friggen Bosh, guess he is just trying but so annoying to me. I don't know why exactly, just dont like him. San has to stop that penetration by James/Wade it can break down the best defense. They have all those utility guys, time to start fouling if they get that close.
Maybe in addition to the $5000 fine, the player should get called for a foul. Right now, there is no penalty for flopping. Does an NBA player care if he loses $5000? In hockey, you sit in the box for 2 minutes if you're caught diving.
How about a video review and a tech foul? Although I like the hockey approach better - make them take that player off for a minute or two. A basketball power play would be exciting. Can you imagine a 5-on-3 in NBA?
A delay of game warning or a tech if you get two of 'em or one combined with an actual delay of game warning.
I finally made myself watch the 4th quarter yesterday as my 8 year old son asked to see some of the action. Not sure I'll let him watch these finals again after all the orgasmic reactions they had on Wade. Looked like my son was confused about that. But he asked me what team I root for, so now he hates Miami too. So there's that.
I really like the idea of the basketball powerplay. Not sure if it's a good idea, but fun to think about what it would be like.
Check out this pizza! This Is What An Enormous Spurs Pizza Looks Like
Eww wow, look at Wade, Dwayennn Waaaade. I don't know why they do that. Totally turnes people off.
Can game 7 be as exciting as game 6?? We shall see. Boy Pop gave this one away by taking out Timmy in the last 30 seconds of regulation and then leaving in turnover machine Manu who had 7 in the game. Tony Parker made three bad plays IMO down the stretch....took two shots from the outside that he should have passed to Tim or drove around him to score using him as a screen. Then when he was driving to the hoop and mugged by Ray Allen, he had an open man on the wing that would have been an easy score, but he took it to the rim was fouled and then missed a FT. Genobli and Leonard missed key FT's down the stretch. Bosh grabbed a rebound that he passed out to Allen for the tying three, and then he got two key blocks against Parker and Green. He redeemed himself for a game...
Awesome game!! Awesomeee!! Ginobili is sucking big time man.. lol.. 8 turnovers man... retire already man! He only appeared in game 5.. What Duncan is doing is incredible! Spurs almost win this one playing really bad.. Let's see what happens in 44 hours
Unreal ballgame. I can't believe the Heat won. They've been unable to sustain that energy for consecutive games to date. I'm drained.
Absolutely incredible basketball. That was heart wrenching! Tim Duncan with a signature vintage return. 30-17. Absurd. Consecutive turnovers put the Heat in trouble in the 4th and then they claw their way back with a few lucky offensive boards and sharp shooting. Fantastic game, bring on 7
Tim Duncan played absolutely amazing. Pop made some decisions that had me scratching my head down the stretch. He usually makes the right moves but last night? - ...not so much. - sitting Duncan & Parker early in the 4th for what seemed like forever. - taking Duncan out at the end - sticking with Manu a little too long - not having Bonner in at the end when they needed a three (Splitter?) Miami's P.A. announcer is one of THE most anoying elements in all of sports. I'm still laughing at sight of all of the Heat fans trying to get back into the building after they left at the "end" of the game. That city doesn't deserve a championship in any sport, ever!
Miami Heat fans were leaving? That was a close game from the mid-fourth quarter on. Are you telling me the fans were leaving with half of the fourth quarter left and their team only down by about 10 or less?
Outrageously good game! Sometime in the late third, LeBron missed a layup and called for the foul. On the replay, you could see how Duncan just had his hand in front of the ball the whole time and LeBron never had the shot. Hard to explain maybe, but it was just absolutely perfect defense. Go Spurs!
Not only were the Heat fans leaving...the NBA trophy staff was already wheeling out the Larry O' Brien Trophy from under the stands, David Stern was practicing his reluctant speech to Popovich and Bill Russell was waking up and getting ready to get out of his seat so that he could hand over the trophy to Spurs owner. Someone was already in the back engraving a Danny Green label to put on the MVP trophy.... I mean this game was over and just like that.. Pop blinked and we were in overtime. You give a team life in OT, they win that game and probably the do or die championship game too.
Yes they were leaving. Miami Heat fans leave NBA Finals Game 6 early, not allowed back in for Heat comeback win | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports And yes, they had begun preparing for the trophy presentation. Gregg Popovich's substitutions open to second-guessing after Spurs' Game 6 NBA Finals loss - Yahoo! Sports
This was a great game indeed. The Spurs fell one rebound short of an NBA championship. I hate Ray Allen, but he just earned his keep with that corner 3. Now the Spurs know what it feels like to be at the receiving end of a Robert Horry 3 pointer. Game 7 will either be just as entertaining or it will be a blowout by Miami. Spurs missed a huge opportunity. And Genobili was fouled at the very end. Spurs got ripped off there, but it never should have come down to that.
