Date Climbed: Dec 3, 2016
|With Sarah Maurer and some of her friends. This was my 2nd time on the Cone. It was pretty cold and very windy at the summit, not so bad in the trees. There was some recent snow (maybe last night?) on the trail. Snowshoes not necessary, but microspikes would have helped. We didn't see anyone else going toward the Cone, there weren't even any tracks in the snow. It looked like everyone else was headed up the Longs Peak Trail this day.

The University of St. Thomas is known as close-knit community that feels like family. St. Thomas' characteristic spirit of community will once again come to light when the Lady Celts volleyball team hosts "Orange Out Leukemia Night," a blood drive, fundraiser and volleyball game in support of Sydney Marquis on Thursday, Oct. 13.
Marquis, the 11-year-old niece of UST Psychology Associate Professor Dr. Jo Meier-Marquis, was diagnosed with leukemia in July shortly after trying out for her middle school volleyball team. The Marquis family is raising funds to support her treatments and to support leukemia research.
"The Lady Celts dedicate the 'Dig Pink' game to breast cancer, so this is a chance to support someone here in the St. Thomas family and bring a smile to fellow volleyball player's face," said Head Volleyball Coach Trent Herman. Just as pink represents breast cancer, orange represents leukemia. "Orange Out" t-shirts and "Sydneystrong" wristbands will be sold in the gym before the 7 p.m. volleyball game. Those who donate blood or wear their orange t-shirt or wristbands will be admitted the volleyball game for free. T-shirts are $20 and wristbands are $5. Proceeds from the t-shirts and wristbands will support a medical funds account in Sydney's name.
"This really means a lot to me because I know the money we raise can help other kids, not just me," Marquis said.
The blood drive will be held from noon – 7p.m. in Jerabeck Center. Make appointment in advance by going to www.giveblood.org. The drive will be listed under University of St. Thomas group code 3039. The "Oh My! Pocket Pies" mobile restaurant will be on site to serve gourmet pocket pies and burgers from 4:30-7 p.m. behind the Jerabeck Center.
To order t-shirts and wristbands or to make a contribution, call Dr. Jo Meier-Marquis at 713-525-3183 or e-mail email@example.com.

Lambro "reported" on Heritage's online Social Security calculator in "news," then praised it lavishly in "commentary"
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Four days after authoring a "hard news" article about a new online Social Security benefits calculator created by the conservative Heritage Foundation -- touting its dubious claims about the benefits of President Bush's Social Security plan without noting key flaws in its methodology -- Washington Times chief political correspondent Donald Lambro wrote a commentary explicitly endorsing the calculator as accurate and informative.
"Anyone wanting to know how he would do under President Bush's personal retirement accounts plan should take a look at the Heritage Foundation's online calculator," Lambro wrote on April 18, following his April 14 news article in the Times.
He added: "Contrary to the plan's fiercest critics in the Democratic Party, the AARP and other liberal groups, Heritage's calculator shows workers would receive a higher rate of return from their hard-earned payroll taxes under Mr. Bush's proposal than under the existing Social Security system."
In his April 14 "news" report, Lambro maintained a veneer of objectivity. "Workers would receive a higher rate of return under President Bush's plan for personal retirement accounts than they would under the existing Social Security system, according to calculations by the Heritage Foundation," he wrote.
But as Media Matters for America noted, the Heritage Foundation relies on erroneous assumptions in purporting to compare Bush's plan with benefits scheduled under current law.
Lambro serves as both a "hard news" reporter on politics for the Times and as a regular commentator alongside such well-known conservatives as Tony Blankley, L. Brent Bozell III, Michelle Malkin, Linda Chavez, Oliver North, and Lawrence Kudlow. His role as commentator undermines his credibility as a "hard news" reporter.

Forrester has a new book coming out soon entitled Empowered written by two Forrester analysts. Its focus is on the power of social technologies in the hands of the general public and what this means for businesses. Although the book concentrates on sales and marketing, the implications for learning are huge. Empowered challenges businesses to give their employees the power of social technologies to respond quickly to customer needs. No one knows the customers better than the employees who work with them daily so "unleash" these employees from the established process and boundaries and encourage them to come up with solutions to customer problems, to issues in the work environment, and even to learning topics. The book's vivid examples show the dangers of remaining in a status quo mode. It also profiles innovative company employees (called HEROes) who have generated approaches using technologies that have made a major difference in their companies' ability to communicate quickly and successfully with customers. The message of the book: To succeed with empowered customers, you must empower your employees to solve customer problems.

Obama calls Conscience Clause for Military Chaplains "Ill-Advised"
Religious liberty advocates are concerned after President Obama said a conscience clause that would allow military chaplains to opt-out of performing gay marriages is "unnecessary and ill-advised."
"Every member of our armed forces should be able to serve without surrendering their beliefs," said Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
The clause is in the National Defense Authorization Act signed by President Obama on Thursday – but he issued a statement noting his objections to Section 533 – the clause protecting chaplains.
The section reads, "No member of the Armed Forces may — require a chaplain to perform
any rite, ritual, or ceremony that is contrary to the conscience, moral principles, or religious
beliefs of the chaplain; or discriminate or take any adverse personnel action against a
The provision was introduced by former Rep. Todd Akin, in response to President Obama's appeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
"Section 533 is an unnecessary and ill-advised provision, as the military already appropriately protects the freedom of conscience of chaplains and services members," Obama wrote. "My administration remains fully committed to continuing the successful implementation of the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and to protecting the rights of gay and lesbian service members; Section 533 will not alter that."
The president's statement alarmed religious liberty advocates like Crews.
"Chaplains should be able to stand by their faith traditions and honor their commitment to God's Word," he said. "That's a freedom that Congress sought to protect, and the president is not at liberty to disregard the law."
Crews said several chaplains have already been faced with requests from same-sex couples wanting to have ceremonies in military chapels.
"The purpose of these provisions is simply to protect the religious liberties of military chaplains who hold to Biblical views concerning sexuality," Crews said.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
It's hard to say without specifics. I don't know to which kennel you're referring (although even if I did, I might not know anything about it, since I'm not in that area).
About all I can say based on this very general description is that hearing that the animals are housed in a kennel facility (which sounds like it may be a fairly large one?) and are being evaluated on whether they're "clean" and "well fed," combined with hearing that there are two different lines of dogs being produced, raises my antennae a little and makes me wonder if this is not a commercial operation.
Not all puppy mills are squalid and dirty. This blog post talks a little about modern "high-tech, clean, humane" (although personally I'd disagree about calling them "humane") mills: Redefining the Puppy Mill | Ruffly Speaking
So... that is my first instinct when someone describes to me a large, clean, "well run" kennel producing different types of dogs: I wonder if we're talking about a high-volume commercial breeder.
But it's just a suspicion. There are good breeders who house some or all of their dogs in kennel facilities. There are good breeders who produce one or two different types or breeds of dogs. So it is entirely possible that the breeder you visited is, in fact, an ethical and knowledgeable breeder.
But I wonder. The show and working communities in GSDs tend to be highly split, and in general, serious breeders have chosen their preferred type because they truly believe that it's what the breed should be. My understanding is that it is unusual (not unheard of, but unusual) for a breeder to seriously pursue and produce two different lines in this breed.
|Well, I don't know. I'm in Oklahoma. If you want to PM me the breeder, I can tell you what I may or may not know about this particular kennel.
|Bad Disposition
To Choose or not to choose
I recently visited a breeder in Oklahoma, the kennel was top of the line. All of the GSDs were well fed, and exercised. The kennel area was clean well built and had every sign of being a well ran operation.
The only thing that I felt was a little odd, was that this breeder has two lines of puppies for sale. One of which are top of the line GSD show dogs, and on the other side he breeds GSD working dogs. Is that set up odd?
I have no doubt that the litters are not mixed, but I would think for a kennel to really prosper, and for it to develop a good reputation, the breeder should only stick with breeding only show lines or working lines and not both.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday is hearing arguments on whether there is a constitutional right to same-sex marriage . Here's a look at the path same-sex marriage has taken across the country. [ + - ]
The means same-sex couples will now be able to marry in 38 states and Washington D.C. [ + - ]
The case involving Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee is expected to be decided sometime in June by the U.S. Supreme Court. [ + - ]
Alabama became the 37th state where gays can marry after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the state's bid to stop a federal trial judge's legalization order. [ + - ]
In Texas, the state's gay marriage ban was struck down in January 2014 by a federal judge who said it serves "no legitimate governmental purpose." But, as in many other states, enforcement was delayed pending appeals. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard the case last month and a ruling is pending. [ + - ]
Miami-Dade County became the first place in Florida to allow same-sex couples to marry on Jan. 5, half a day before a gay-marriage ban that has been ruled unconstitutional was lifted in the rest of the state. [ + - ]
New Jersey started allowing same-sex marriages on Oct. 21, 2013. A superior court judge ruled that civil unions, which the state allowed for same-sex couples since 2007, don't go far enough because they, in some cases, illegally prevent them from getting federal benefits. Gov. Chris Christie was initially planning to appeal that ruling, but decided to drop the appeal hours after the first same-sex weddings in the state were performed. [ + - ]
Connecticut began issuing same-sex marriage licenses in 2008 following a state Supreme Court decision in favor of eight gay couples who were denied marriage licenses. [ + - ]
Iowa's gay marriage ban was overturned in April 2009 by the state Supreme Court after justices ruled it violated the state constitution. [ + - ]
In June 2009, New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch signed into law a bill that allowed equal access to marriage for same-sex couples. [ + - ]
Gay marriage became legal in Washington, D.C., in March 2010 after passage of a law by the D.C. Council. [ + - ]
Gay marriage became legal in New York state on July 24, 2011, under the Marriage Equality Act passed by the state Senate and signed by the governor on the same day. [ + - ]
In Washington, the governor signed a bill allowing gay marriage on Feb. 13, 2012. Opponents got enough signatures for a referendum vote, and the law only went into effect on Dec. 6, 2012, after voters approved the measure. [ + - ]
On March 1, 2012, Maryland's governor signed a bill into law legalizing gay marriage, but opponents gathered enough signatures to force the issue onto the ballot. Voters affirmed the law in a November 2012 state referendum, and the law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2013. [ + - ]
Illinois became the 16th state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage. T he law took effect on June 14, 2014. [ + - ]
Minnesota became the 12th state to legalize gay marriage with the passage of a bill in the state Legislature in May 2013. The law went into effect in August 2013. [ + - ]
Delaware was the 11th state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage after the state Senate approved the measure and the state's governor signed it into law on May 6, 2013. It went into effect in July 2013. [ + - ]
Rhode Island became the 10th state to allow gay marriage on May 2, 2013, when Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed into law a bill recognizing such unions. Weddings started when the law took effect Aug. 1. [ + - ]
California's domestic partnership registry was the first of its kind in the United States created by a legislature without court intervention when it was enacted in 1999. While it kept the domestic partner registry, voters later banned same-sex marriage, first through a state law and then a constitutional amendment. A federal court overturned California's voter-approved gay marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, in 2010, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed it was unconstitutional in 2012. But the Supreme Court ruled on July 26, 2013, that those who had appealed the Ninth Circuit ruling had no standing in the case, meaning same-sex marriages could resume in California. [ + - ]
Lawmakers in Hawaii passed legislation legalizing gay marriage in the Aloha State on Nov. 12, 2013. Couples began marrying on Dec. 2. [ + - ]
The New Mexico Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in that state in December 2013, declaring it is unconstitutional to deny a marriage license to gay and lesbian couples. [ + - ]
A country circuit judge ruled Arkansas' ban unconstitutional in May, but the state Supreme Court suspended that ruling just days later and halted the distribution of marriage licenses. [ + - ]
A Missouri judge overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriages in November and ordered registrars to start issuing licenses to gay and lesbian couples. [ + - ]
Same-sex marriage has been in an uncertain state of legalization in Kansas since a preliminary injunction by the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. [ + - ]
In Nevada, domestic partners are granted all the benefits, rights, obligations and/or responsibilities of marriage. These partnerships have been legal since 2009. [ + - ]
A bill allowing domestic partnerships in Oregon was signed into law on May 9, 2007. An injunction delayed its initial implementation until it was lifted on Feb. 1, 2008. [ + - ]
Civil unions became legal in Colorado on May 1, 2013, a few months after the state's General Assembly passed legislation allowing for civil unions. [ + - ]
Domestic partnerships have been recognized in Wisconsin since August 2009 and a U.S. appeals court has ruled that the state's gay marriage ban is unconstitutional. [ + - ]
Civil unions became legal in Illinois on June 2, 2011, following passage of a bill by the state Legislature the year before. Same-sex marriage is now legal in both Illinois and Hawaii, but both states will keep civil unions as an option in addition to marriage. It's not yet clear whether civil unions will remain as an option in New Jersey or whether marriage will replace civil unions, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. [ + - ]
Vermont became the first state to legalize gay marriage through the legislative process when lawmakers overrode the governor's veto of a same-sex marriage bill in April 2009. [ + - ]
Maine has recognized domestic partnerships since 2004. Lawmakers passed a law to legalize same-sex marriage in 2009, but it was repealed by voters. In November 2012, voters reversed themselves, passing a ballot measure that legalizes same-sex marriage. [ + - ]
Massachusetts became the first state to allow same-sex marriage in 2004 as the result of a state Supreme Court decision. [ + - ]

'Is this a guy the Sabres want on their team while they're trying to keep co-captains Chris Drury and Daniel Briere? Afinogenov is a seductive talent, an electrifying player who puts people in the seats. He also gets them out of their seats when he's not drawing teammates offside and giving away the puck. And while his 134 points in 133 games in two regular seasons are impressive, his eight goals and 17 points in 33 postseason games over the same span are not. He has 10 goals and 23 points in 49 career playoff games. Remember, his overtime winner against the Rangers came after he was a healthy scratch.'
Archives for May 2007
Max leaves something to be desired
Sabres have some expensive decisions to make
'Thomas Vanek is worth more than this season's $942,000 salary. Center Derek Roy (career-high 21 goals and 63 points) was a bargain, given his $627,000 salary. Forward Dainius Zubrus will be highly coveted, meaning he should earn more than this year's $1.85 million. Adam Mair and Daniel Paille were key role players making a combined $1.35 million. So let's do the math. That's five forwards capable of making $1 million or more apiece per season, another two worthy of $5 million apiece. Total minimum price, $15 million. Cap room left, less than $4 million.'
Could Briere and Drury BOTH be Back? Yep!
'Will the ENTIRE team be back? In a word, no. It's quite likely two or more big contracts will be moved in one way or another, with Ales Kotalik still marketable elsewhere, and replaceable here, as one example.'
Post Mortems
'Everyone knew going into these playoffs that Ottawa was coming on strong. They won almost every game late in the season, dispatched their first two playoff opponents with ease and looked like the better team, the hungrier team, against the Buffalo Sabres.'
Sabres Fall Short
'I think that no one said it better than Chris Drury, echoing Lindy Ruff's comments that you have to do things out of character to win in the playoffs. His comments were very revealing; that several of his teammates did not pay the price necessary to win in the post-season. Lindy Ruff seemed to say that this was another step for a young team. But, I would argue that this team as currently assembled won't take that next step, because they still need some changes to their roster before they can win the Cup.'
Larry Quinn Talks Shop With Schopp And Bulldog
'Quinn also looked ahead to the future as he prepares to try and resign both Chris Drury and Daniel Briere this offseason. He defended the team's practice of not negotiating contracts during the season because it may look like the team is favoring one player over another. "I do think it works," Quinn said, "because unless you're prepared to do everybody you're saying to one guy you're not coming back and you are."'
Thank you, Sabres, for a season to remember
'We really are living in a Hockey Nation, and Buffalo is its undisputed capital. We're a city with Sabres Fever. Everywhere, from grocery stores to construction sites, is bursting with pride and love for our boys in blue and gold. We think of you as family. When Marty Biron was traded, we felt we were losing an old friend. When Chris Drury took that cheap shot, thousands of Western New Yorkers were literally ready to go after Chris Neil themselves. We had your back.'
Zubrus disappointed at lost chance
'A free agent this summer, Zubrus is completely open to the prospect of signing with Buffalo next season. As time wears on, Buffalo has grown on Zubrus. "Why not? Right now I'm a Sabre," said Zubrus. "I'm a Sabre till July 1st. Honestly, I enjoyed it here. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I was coming here. But from day one the coaches, guys in the locker room and everyone around the area made me feel very comfortable. Everyone has been good to me, so there is no reason why not."'
Can Sabres keep Briere, Drury?
'"I wish something would've been done earlier in the year with either me or Chris," Briere said. "The tough part is nobody knows what's going to happen."'
One heck of a ride
'Says another: "I am so proud of the city of Buffalo and 'our' fans. Where else would 10,000 people show up to watch an away game on a Jumbotron? Where else would 10,000 people stand outside to watch a home game on a big screen TV (God love 'em)? . . . That's Buffalo . . . a great city with great sports fans who always get their collective hearts broken."'
Briere leaves wiggle room
'"To be honest with you, I have no clue what's going to happen. There hasn't been any discussions as far as contracts go with the Sabres, and I didn't even have any talks with my agent yet about the game plan."'
Big contracts could've been done sooner
'For the record, I suspect the Sabres will make a strong play in the next five weeks to keep Drury and hope they still have enough left over for Briere. Then again, as both players know, you should never assume anything.'
Short-timer Zubrus wants to stick around
'"I enjoy it here," Zubrus said while taking a break from cleaning out his locker in HSBC Arena. "I didn't know what to expect when I was coming here, but from Day One the guys in the locker room, the coaches and everybody made me comfortable. The fans have been good to me. So there's no reason why not."'
Network Shuffle Leaves N.H.L. Out in the Cold
'This just shouldn't happen to a major sport during its playoffs.'
Sabres 2006-07 rookie review
'With the Sabres unlikely to sign all unrestricted free-agent forwards Daniel Briere, Chris Drury, Adam Mair and Dainius Zubrus, the gritty Milwaukee native is just about guaranteed a roster spot for the 2007-08 season. Stafford is the latest of the Sabres seemingly endless supply of very good forward prospects.'

As I've been researching my upcoming report on smart city governance, the topic of integrated customer call centers keeps cropping up. What is 3-1-1, and what does it mean for city governance?
In the US, the telephone number 3-1-1 was reserved by the FCC for non-emergency calls in 2003, and cities and counties across the country have since implemented comprehensive call centers to facilitate the delivery of information and services, as well as encourage feedback from citizens. Access has since extended beyond just the phone to include access through government websites, mobile phones, and even social media tools such as Twitter or applications such as SeeClickFix or Hey Gov.
As a means of background, 3-1-1 services are generally implemented at the local level – primarily at the city or county level – with examples of calls including requests for:

Berkeley earthquake called off
Anybody expecting earthshaking news from Berkeley, now that the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature group being led by Richard Muller has released its results, had to be content with a barely perceptible quiver. As far as the basic science goes, the results could not have been less surprising if the press release had said "Man Finds Sun Rises At Dawn." This must have been something of a disappointment for anyone hoping for something else.
For those not familiar with it, the purpose of Berkeley Earth was to create a new, independent compilation and assessment of global land surface temperature trends using new statistical methods and a wider range of source data. Expectations that the work would put teeth in accusations against CRU and GISTEMP led to a lot of early press, and an invitation to Muller to testify before Congress. However, the big news this week (e.g. this article by the BBC's Richard Black) is that there is no discernible difference between the new results and those of CRU.
Muller says that "the biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously by other teams in the US and the UK." We find this very statement surprising. As we showed two years ago, any of various simple statistical analyses of the freely available data at the time showed that it was very very unlikely that the results would change.
The basic fact of warming is supported by a huge array of complementary data (ocean warming, ice melting, phenology etc). And shouldn't it have helped reduce the element of surprise that a National Academy of Sciences study already concluded that the warming seen in the surface station record was "undoubtedly real," that Menne et al showed that highly touted station siting issues did not in fact compromise the record, that the satellite record agrees with the surface record in every important respect (see Fig. 7 here), and that numerous independent studies (many of them by amateurs) also confirmed the warming trend?
If the Berkeley results are newsworthy, it is only because Muller had been perceived as an outsider (driven in part by trash-talking about other scientists), and has taken money from the infamous Koch brothers. People acting against expectation ("Man bites dog") is always better news than the converse, something that Muller's PR effort has exploited to the max. It does take some integrity to admit getting the same answer as those they had criticized, despite their preconceptions and the preconceptions of their funders. And we are pleased to see Muller's statement that "This confirms that these studies were done carefully and that potential biases identified by climate change sceptics did not seriously affect their conclusions." It's far from the overdue apology that Phil Jones (of CRU) deserves from his critics, but it's a start.
But Muller's framing of the Berkeley results is still odd. His statement, that had they found no warming trend, this would have "ruled out anthropogenic global warming", while true in a technical sense, would not have implied that we should not worry about human drivers of climate change. And it would not have overturned over a century of firmly established radiative-transfer and thermodynamics. Nor would it have overturned the basic chemistry which led Bolin and Eriksson (reprinted here) to predict in 1959 that fossil fuel burning would cause a significant increase in CO2 — long before the results of Keeling's famous Mauna Loa observations were in. As a physicist, Muller knows that the reason for concern about increasing CO2 comes from the basic physics and chemistry, which was elucidated long before the warming trend was actually observable.

A motion picture depicted an adult fight club in which men fought one another in order to display their athletic prowess, but, as is so often in real life, impressionable youth assume the task of aping the behavior of their elders. There are reports that students at the John Forrest Senior High School in Australia have organized a fight club and are displaying their abilities on YouTube. Viewers of YouTube report there are images of young boys fighting one another as other students cheer them on. In itself, this is simply another story about young people who engage with the world they know– YouTube and movies rather than engage with the world that exists– their daily lives.
Education Minister said she expected a "blow by blow report" on the matter apparently unaware of the symbolic words she uttered. The world of youth today is no more violent than that of the past, but these days the entire world can see madness of youth, not just those in the immediate neighborhood.

Re: Heading to the Keys!
Proof that nothing is tougher than us portly middle-aged guys.
Great blog. keep on keeping on.
|Miss Informed
Re: Heading to the Keys!
Hey y'all!
Just got into Panama City from Pensacola. Thought I'd give a lil' excerpt from the blog.
3-13-2013: A Cautionary Tale
February 13, sitting out on the lounger on the stern, enjoying the sun. A slightly portly, middle aged gentleman wearing a visor walks down the pier, from the entrance gate of Palafox, carrying a bucket and some other smaller tools. He is heading towards his boat. Half an hour passes. Still lounging on the stern. Still enjoying the sun. The portly middle aged gentleman is shuffling hurriedly across the dock, grumbling profanities loudly to himself. His hand is wrapped in a thick towel. Blood is dripping down his arm. We ask him if he needs help, and if he is all right. He grumbles "I'll make it. I just cut two of my fingers off..." He then continues down the dock, grumbling profanities. He opens the gate, walks to his car, and drives off. Presumably to the hospital.
The following day, the same gentleman was back at the docks hard at work, with some serious surgical wrap around his fingers. He gave us an account of the event; Apparently, he was working with his engine, while it was running, and his fingers slipped into it. The tip of his middle finger was sliced off, hanging by the skin. His index and ring finger were both broken. After composing himself and taking stock of his situation, he decided he had lost all the blood there was to lose, and calmly drove to the hospital. Doctors grafted his fingertip back on, and wrapped it up tight. He is ready to sail to Bimini on Wednesday. Odds are good that we will be crossing paths with him again.
Note to self: Don't stick fingers in the prop when the engine is running

Re: Heading to the Keys!
ps: you have enough posts now so don't hesitate to p.m. me if you need anything I have lots of friends in Panama City.......
|Capt. Gary Randall
Re: Heading to the Keys!
Hello again, glad to hear you made it, the reason I normally follow the coast line from Pensacola Panama City although it has a slight bend the current is normally with you. There are plenty of parts in Panama City for your water pump. I recommended the most economical place to buy it in earlier post. You probably need a seal, however I would check the shaft before replacing the seal.
I'm still offshore in Florida Bay. This is a great place to go exploring with the dink. Lots of little islands and mostly shallow water great fishing. Probably going to go into port Monday or Tuesday.Then I will take a rental car to Panama City to get my truck and motorcycle........
I will look you up if you're still there..... in the meantime enjoy grand-lagoon and Panama City Beach.
|Miss Informed
Re: Heading to the Keys!
Hey y'all! Made it to Panama Yesterday morning. Great sail all the way. Overnighter, 16 hours or so. Wind from the southwest had us on a great tack consistently. Averaged about 5.5 knots. Water Pump on the engine started leaking trying to motor into the channel. We changed out the impeller and gasket ring thingy to no avail. Got a tow into Treasure Island Marina where we may be for a week waiting out storms. Then onto Tampa!
Tarpon Springs sounds incredible!!! I am definitely pushing for that!
|Capt. Gary Randall
Re: Heading to the Keys!
hope all is going well for you guys,let us know if you've made it to Panama City.
|Capt. Gary Randall
Re: Heading to the Keys!
Hello again,Make sure you steer clear of Cape San Blas..... I normally steer straight to Tarpon Springs (Anclote key) and stop there if I need supplies. It is a quiet little Greektown that you can tie up at the city dock right on the strip.check out the belly dancers.... From there south I usually follow the coastline in less than 10fathoms because I travel with my six-year-old daughter I like to be able to anchor to get sleep.
We are now approximately 20 miles north of Marathon in Florida Bay anchored and fishing!
Re: Heading to the Keys!
C.Dad is right, skip dry tortugas.
its actually harder than going to bimini. -in Bimini you can buy fuel, ice /water. there is zip in Dry tortugas.
Ft Myers is a good resupply point, as is Marco island. from marco, not much till marathon.
you're going to need to go around cape romano, so everglades city might be back tracking... but new turkey key would be a good stop, or shark river. once you leave shark river, no stopping places till long key/marathon.
and you want to sail there. too many lobster / crab bouys (til the end of march) to motor... (IMHO).
you're going to need some bug screens at shark river... or at least a head net. worst at sunset / sunrise. put them up before the wind dies! (or else).
mosquitoes are nothing compared to no seeums (sand fleas). skin so soft will coat your skin so the sand fleas dont bite.. (or oil based sunscreen).
|Miss Informed
Re: Heading to the Keys!
Hey again!
Thanks for all the advice! So much useful advice and information!
Cruisingdad, aside from multiple overnighters and great distance from shore, is there anything specific to look out for between Panama City and Tampa/St Pete? That is the jump we are planning on doing once we get to Panama City... I guess we should know what we're getting into.
|Capt. Gary Randall
Re: Heading to the Keys!
away again, left Fort Myers at about six o'clock. check Highway 319 bridge height as I don't know what your clearance is. You might decide to leave Pensacola and follow the coast to Panama City. As Brian says the city marina is a good bet and right next door is Messalina bayou which is a opening bridge there are Moorings behind. That whole area has been cleaned up lately so there's no need to worry about unsightly characters lol there is also a place called Panama Marine that has all kinds of marine hardware, etc. at a reasonable price. Let me know when you get to Panama if the timing works out right I'm going to rent a car and drive home to take care of some business. ps don't forget to eat at Joe's......... later CaptG

It's interesting; most posters here don't have much cred with skaters, yet many of them do read the comments and seem to be at least somewhat impacted by what they read. I guess because we are the voices of the fan base. R&J. One of the "overused music" choices I do like and I think it's a fit. However of all the versions of R&J, I do feel the most power in the "A Time for Us" sad theme. I never tire of it in skating. I hope she gets the 3/3 out there and has a kick butt season.

I need a little help.
I have a pair of FP rubber knees that I am trying to paint. I am now on my third attempt.
First attempt: Testor Acrylic paint - had some cracking on the sides of the knees so I decided to redo.
I read that PACTRA paint was a bit more elastic and would hold up well and not crack which led to the second attempt.
Second attempt: Testors pactra paint. Absolute mess. Not only did it crack on the sides but also everywhere else and peeled off easily in strips.
Does anybody have a recommendation/technique they used and had success with? I really don't want to shell out more cash for paints/thinners etc but will if there is something better out there.
I am thinking of going back to the first attempt and Acyrlic paints and do very light layers with sanding between to see if that would reduce any of the cracking.
A bit fustrated at this point as I have other pieces to be working on and the knees have taken way more time than and resources than I had anticipated.

GNU Emacs is the most popular and widespread of the Emacs family of editors. It is also the most powerful and flexible. Unlike all other text editors, GNU Emacs is a complete working environment--you can stay within Emacs all day without leaving. Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition tells readers how to get started with the GNU Emacs editor. It is a thorough guide that will also "grow" with you: as you become more proficient, this book will help you learn how to use Emacs more effectively. It takes you from basic Emacs usage (simple text editing) to moderately complicated customization and programming.The third edition of Learning GNU Emacs describes Emacs 21.3 from the ground up, including new user interface features such as an icon-based toolbar and an interactive interface to Emacs customization. A new chapter details how to install and run Emacs on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, including tips for using Emacs effectively on those platforms.Learning GNU Emacs, third edition, covers:

Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Learning GNU Emacs, Third Edition is a gnu (or wildebeest). Gnus are African antelopes that inhabit the Serengeti Plains. Male gnus (bulls) reach up to 52 inches in height and 500 pounds inweight, and have the most lethal horns of any of the antelopes. Bulls are very territorial and tend to remain alone. The females and young generally live in small herds. However, they may congregate in the tens of thousands during migration. Gnus are the favorite prey of lions.

Comments about oreilly Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition:
This book is too old today and deserves to be up to date to cover the last built-in tools which appears in last version of Emacs. (I'm thinking to the packages manager for example with Emacs 24). All new features which appears in last couple of years make Emacs more friendly to use and get Emacs closer to "modern" editors. This book still covers historic tools of Emacs and is beginners friendly.

Hoping for a 4th Edition
By re_nelson
from Dallas, TX, USA
As another reviewer mentioned, text editors are undergoing a renaissance. And, for me, GNU Emacs has been a wonderful journey of rediscovery after far too many years of benign neglect. Any book with Eric Raymond among the authors is guaranteed greatness. Although I have the latest GIT version of GNU Emacs (24.4.50), it was an interesting journey to build version 21.3.5 on a modern platform so that I could go down memory lane with the identical version written about by Deb, Mark, James, Bill and Eric.Still it's 2014 and nine years have passed under the bridge. Even though so much is available online, the pleasure of cracking open a book still is unmatched. I sure hope that the gang gets together again for a long-overdue fourth edition.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Very good book and very good software

It's easy to learn how to use Emacs with such a book. It is well written.

Informative, but a frustrating read...
By Brad Camroux
from Undisclosed
I wish that I could give this book a better rating. The content is, for the most part, well-done. I must, however, take issue with the editing. There are so many errors in this the third edition that I doubt even a high school English teacher would accept it as a final draft. I really wonder whether the authors compiled the manuscript using emacs, or if they used one of the heavily bloated word processors on the market. Emacs would have certainly have been sufficient to mark up the text of the manuscript. This would have at least pointed out errors such as mismatched parentheses.The content is good, although at times the authors' instructions are difficult to understand. Nevertheless I am learning from the book, and will continue to do so. Frustrating as the errors are, I am willing to set them aside in my head and plow on through the material, trying to absorb what I can before going over it again later. I just hope that the fourth edition will have better editing.

Respects the intellect of one motivated enough to learn Emacs and enables mastery of the tool
By barryhawkins
If a person is thinking of learning GNU Emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html) , or if they have been using it and are looking to sharpen their skills and broaden their Emacs savvy, it is a fairly safe assumption that the individual is motivated. This person probably knows their way around a command prompt, and it is likely that they are aware that Lisp is more than just a speech impediment. This person needs a book that offers expert advice without wasting time or insulting the intellect of the reader. Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/gnu3/) is that book.As a programmer, when firing up a monolithic word processor or graphical IDE to edit a simple script or properties file, one cannot help but wonder if these tools aren't overkill much of the time. For a growing number of users, the answer is yes. The tried-and-true text editor is enjoying a renaissance of sorts. One of the most extensible and customizable applications in the text editing category is the venerable GNU Emacs.The tutorials and documentation for Emacs are abundant, but they often prove time-consuming and ineffective for actually learning Emacs. This book is a refreshing break from the documentation many have come to expect. Imagine you had a consortium of leading experts on Emacs at your disposal to teach you how to use it in a conversational, consultative style. That is what has been bundled into this latest edition of the book.The extensibility of Emacs has been both a key strength and a criticism of the application. Its user and developer community have created all sorts of additional capabilities for Emacs, ranging from the impressive to the absurd. The authors have done well to judiciously select what to cover in this edition. For example, while Emacs does have the capability to function as an email client, other applications have long superceded its ability. The authors have chosen not to cover this topic, and instead devote the available space to learning Emacs' core functionality - powerful, efficient text editing. Other peripheral areas of Emacs have been left for the user to research after gaining their solid foundation on Emacs as editor and work environment, such as compatibility modes for programming languages other than Java and Perl.This edition of the book uses the space gained by the removal of esoteric topics to flesh out areas of more common interest. Integration with the major version control systems has been expanded to include Subversion alongside of the age-old standards CVS, RCS, and SCCS. Coverage of support for Java and Perl has also improved, as well as sections for editing HTML and XML. Users wanting to tap into the power of Lisp programming for Emacs should find the coverage satisfying as well.Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of this book is the chapter devoted to the use of Emacs on different platforms. Unix, Windows and Mac OS X users receive equal acknowledgement. The precautions and insights regarding Emacs nuances when used on particular platforms can reduce users' frustration when getting started with Emacs.Even current Emacs users can benefit from this work. The mnemonic devices and conventions used in the book allow users to commit useful keyboard commands to memory. The memorization is further solidified by the exercises sprinkled appropriately through each chapter. Readers do not go for very many pages before it is time to be at the keyboard again, harnessing the power of muscle memory to reinforce the material presented.

Dear TWIM-ers,
When I began listening to TWIV almost a year ago, I had just switched majors from philosophy to biology. I am now writing to you good people at TWIM at the end of my first undergraduate summer research gig, where I have had quite a bit of fun (and frustration) mucking about with wetland bacteria. As I've been reading about all these different Bacilli, though, I've been wondering about species identification among bacteria, and about what it even means to classify bacteria as belonging to different species.
As far as I understand, most of the current work on species identification and the evolutionary history of bacteria relies on comparing the genomes of bacteria, looking for differences and similarities in highly conserved regions and in the presence or absence of accessory genes. My adviser told me that one shorthand for distinguishing between a "strain" and a species is whether or not the genomes of the two bacteria are more than 95% related to one another. This seems like a fairly arbitrary figure to me!
Then, too, some species are very closely related but lead significantly different lives, in different environments. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Bacillus mycoides this summer, but I don't think I would have been able to handle this little bug if it behaved much like its more famous and dangerous relative, Bacillus anthracis. It seems to me that any species classification must take "lifestyle" - metabolism, behavior, environment - into account.
So how do all of you microbiologists think about this notion of "species" - how do you distinguish between a genus, a species, and a strain? Is it primarily down to differences in the genome, or do you care mostly about those differences which lead to substantially different ways of living?
Thanks so much for reading!
Your faithful listener,

Dr Dan MacLean, of the John Innes Centre in Norwich came up with the idea of crowd-sourcing the analysis of the fungal genome and the genomes of susceptible and resistant trees through a facebook game:
The hope is that the detailed analysis will give clues to the origins of the disease, and help identify fungus resistant ash trees to grow in the future.
Top gamers may have their names published in scientific articles for their role in helping analyse the genetic information. Results of the project will be made available on the crowd-sourcing website OpenAshDieBack.

Hi TWIM Team,
I love listening to all your shows TWIV, TWIP and TWIM on Stitcher Radio. Thank you very much for the many hours of entertainment and learning.
On TWIM #61 it was mentioned that the body needs gut bacteria to make vitamin K and B. If you have not had a show on these bacteria I would like to suggest that these would make a good show topic.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you,
Fremont, CA

Dear TWIMmers,
In TWIM #61, you talked about a species of insect with a symbiotic bacteria (which itself had a symbiont), and which also had a lot of bacterial genes that had been taken up into the insect's DNA. My understanding was that bacterial DNA and eukaryotic DNA have some differences that make it hard to move between the two. Do those differences cause a problem for movement of genes between insects and bacteria? If so, is there any indication of what has to happen for the gene transfer to work, and how common that is?
At the risk of slipping into TWIV territory, it seems like these endosymbionts would provide a lot of opportunity for infection of the host cell with bacteriophage. Are there examples of phage infecting eukaryotic cells?
Thanks for answering my amateur questions, and for your wonderful podcasts.

In TWiM 60 during the email segment, there was a discussion about preservation of DNA in amber. Irregardless of Michael Crichton's book Jurassic Park, written in 1990, DNA preserved in amber has not panned out. Amber, which preserves in great detail the outer structure of insects, rarely preserves any internal material. Essentially, organisms in amber are casts. In addition, amber is porous to air, and air is corrosive to DNA. Searches for DNA in amber have not found much. Early 90's claims of DNA found in amber have been disputed. Vincent may recall my email answered on TWiV episode (I don't remember which one) about viruses trapped in amber. The article was behind a paywall so I was not able to read it, but I'm pretty sure no DNA was recovered.
FYI, DNA from bone has had more success. A recent announcement was made that DNA was recovered from a 700,000 year old frozen horse bone. So ancient DNA recovery is still possible, just not from amber.
See this You tube video by a paleontologist discussing DNA from amber.

Dear Vincent and fellow TWiMmers,
I really love your podcast. My son told me about them, and I have worked my way through the shows. I have been learning SO much.
I recently read that children with folic acid deficiency may have a higher incidence of regressive autism, and it got me wondering about the microbiome and nutrition. I heard Michael and maybe Jo? mention that the microbiome supplies 5-10% of your calories, and I found review articles that include references for that, but I haven't found a good review of micronutrients the microbiome supplies, like the b-vitamins. Would you consider having a TWiM on the microbiome and the nutrition it supplies? Since children with autism often have problematic microbiomes, could it be that they aren't getting the right vitamins at the right times for their brain development? Can the body "ask" the microbiome for more vitamins when it needs them through signaling? Could the microbiome supply much larger amounts of vitamins than we realize? Perhaps there are micronutrients that we don't know of yet because our microbiota supply them instead of our food?
I am interested in the vitamins because of my own story. (You could leave this part out if you want to). I used to be a bioengineer working in microscopy, gene arrays and bioinformatics, but I suddenly got sick with a disabling mitochondrial disease in my mid forties. I could run a mile without thinking about it, then a year later I couldn't sit up for 30 minutes, then a year after that I was going into heart failure. I started taking very large amounts of riboflavin and my heart, which had become enlarged, shrunk back to normal size and started working just fine! Unfortunately my other muscles didn't respond so well, but I'm still alive 5 years later, which wouldn't be the case without the riboflavin. Some of my friends on my mito and FOD (fatty acid oxidation disorder) support groups are also helped a lot by particular vitamins, and it makes me wonder why did it change? I was doing fine for 45 years then suddenly I need a bunch of riboflavin to survive. I'm starting to suspect the microbiome. I like how you think about it as another organ.
Thanks for your great work! Chris
There were various review articles in pubmed related to the microbiome harvesting energy and obesity and diabetes
e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3601187/
The folate deficiency in children/autism papers are sort of patchwork, but here is a sampling
p.s. I love Elio's voice
(p.s.s. my genetic defects are normally mild ones in nuclear genes affecting fatty acid oxidation and complex 1 of the respiratory chain, so the odd inheritance and aging effects on mitochondrial dna disorders don't really apply to me)

Dear TWiM folk,
Hi from Denver and ICAAC.
I'm delighted that you are finally devoting the time and attention to the most important microbiology of all--yeast fermentations.
Your letter last week from Mark on yeast inoculations reflects a very modern North American perspective on winemaking. Inoculations with clonal yeast strains are of course quite modern--wine was made for millenia without inoculation.
Many of the finest wines of France, Vincent, are fermented with their indigenous yeasts. A complex microbiome produces a more complex metabolome, unsurprisingly, giving wines of distinct complexity and subtlety of flavor. One man's complexity may of course be another's excess funk in some cases, taste is always paramount.
It is also true that choices in the vineyard may influence the success of native ferments--heavy spraying with fungicides, for instance, surely selects yeast populations. But so does weather during the harvest, tying the wine more closely to its vintage. The requirement of highly alcohol-tolerant yeast to finish the fermentations of high-sugar grapes reflects some climate change, but it also reflects a recent cultural preference in California for riper (and to my taste simpler) fruit flavors that come with grapes left on the vine later in the summer to eliminate "green" flavors and coincidentally raise sugar contents.
I hope I have the chance to wave from the audience at a live TWiM or TWiV this week, and I hope you will continue to give alcoholic fermentation the attention they surely deserve.

Kompressor foam pads keep the foam against the paint,
which keeps the polish (or wax) on the pad. Patent pending Kompressor pads
have the following features that you won't find on other pads:
Slotted Pad Face. The series of foam tabs allow
the Kompressor pad to constantly conform to the shape of your vehicle as you
move the polisher along the paint. This variation in the pad face allows the
Kompressor pad to maintain contact with the paint over curved fenders and on
concave body panels. With more foam and polish in contact with paint at all
times, you get faster results.
The slotted pad face allows the
Kompressor pad to conform to the car's curves.
Lake Country's foam compositions are among the best in
the industry. Kompressor foam pads are very durable and long-wearing, as
you'd expect from any Lake Country pad.
Compressed sweet spot. Kompressor pads get their
name from the sweet spot of compressed foam in the center of each pad. The
pads are designed to arch. When you press the center of the pad against the
backing plate, the center foam compresses, creating the sweet spot. Polish
tends to stay in the middle of the pad. The sweet spot reduces sling and
holds onto the polish longer.
The Kompressor pads are arched. When you
press the pad to the backing plate, the center foam compresses to form a
"sweet spot".
The compressed sweet spot also extends the pads' lift
by reducing foam breakdown. When the pad compresses, the foam is pushed
together to create a dense surface. The foam tabs still have enough movement
to conform to the vehicle, but the density of this compressed foam protects
the pad against unnecessary wear.
Kompressor pads are easy to clean. The slotted pad face actually makes
it easy to clean Kompressor pads. Just arch the pad and you can easily use a
brush or your fingers to agitate between the tabs.
Kompressor foam pads are available in these varieties:
Yellow Medium Cutting 6 Inch Foam
Pad – The yellow Kompressor pad is less aggressive than the purple and has the cutting power of the Lake Country CCS yellow pad. It is highly effective at scratch, swirl, and oxidation removal with compounds and heavy swirl removers.
White Polishing 6 Inch Foam
Pad – The white foam is less dense than the purple or orange. Use the white
pad with polishes, light swirl removers, and prewax cleansers. The foam
removes very light imperfections, including swirls and light oxidation.
Polishing/Finishing 6 Inch Foam
Pad – Use this foam
to apply one-step cleaner waxes. It is a balance of polishing and finishing
that is perfect for all-in-one product application.
Black Finessing 6 Inch Foam
Pad – The black foam pad is very soft. Use it for wax and paint
sealant application. The black foam has no cutting ability. It does a great
job of spreading an even coat of paint protection.
Red Finishing 6 Inch Foam
Pad – The red finessing foam pad is the softest Kompressor pad.
The red foam can be used to apply glazes, liquid waxes and sealants. This
pad is also ideal for jewelling the paint with an ultra fine polish
following the use of a swirl remover.
Super Soft Gold Jewelling 6 Inch Foam Pad – The Super Soft Gold Jewelling Pad is made of Lake Country's softest foam. Use the gold pad to apply a very fine polish or glaze as the final step of the polishing process. Jewelling is the term coined for this step because it intensifies gloss and reflectivity, like a jewel. The gold foam pad also works well for wax and sealant application.
Lake Country's Kompressor Foam Pads are designed for
today's sleek and curvy vehicles. No other pad hugs the curves and contours of
your vehicle to give you maximum surface contact like a Kompressor pad. Try out
the Kompressor line of foam pads with your dual action or rotary polisher.
The 6 inch pads work perfectly with Lake Country's 5 inch flexible backing

Japan Plans Curvaceous Maglev Train to Connect Osaka and Tokyo by 2045
Jason Mick
November 29, 2012 5:23 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Phys.org)
Train will speed along at 311 mph, will carry 900+ passengers
Maglev trains represent a perplexing puzzle to civil engineers. While the price of entry
can be much higher
than traditional rail based trains, maglevs -- trains held aloft by powerful electro magnets -- experience no friction, meaning they cost far less to maintain.
But the high construction costs have meant that only two commercial maglevs are currently in existence. Now the home nation of one of those two high-tech rail systems -- Japan -- is dreaming of a far more ambitious maglev line connecting Tokyo and Osaka with trains travelling safely at 311 mph.
Japan's current maglev system is only 8.9 kilometers (5.9 miles) long, and is located in Aichi, near the city of Nagoya. Dubbed "Linimo", the line operates at a "lowly" cruising speed of 62 mph. The line has struggled with losses in recent years and cost over $100M USD per km to construct.
But those struggles have not swayed Central Japan Railway Comp. (JR Tokai) (
), which
plans to deploy
the sleek Series L0 prototype in 2027. The front car will stretch ninety-two feet, with over half of that length devoted to an aerodynamic nose cone. It will haul 14 carriages, each with 68 passengers in rows of four seats, with the exception of the last carriage, which seats only 24 (for a total of 908 passengers).
The first engineering mockups of the train were unveilled earlier this month.
The Series L0 Train [Image Source: Phys.org]
The train is planned to initially travel between the Shinagawa Station in central Tokyo to Nagoya, cities separated by roughly 218 miles on Japan's eastern coast. Today the trip would take four hours by car or 90 minutes on the
fastest rail-based bullet trains
, but travelling at a blistering 311 mph, the next-generation maglev rail is expect to deliver passengers there in just 40 minutes.
JR Tokia plans to eventually extend the system to connect to Osaka by 2045. Lead developer Yasukazu Endo comments, "Through the test runs, we will make final checks to ensure that commercial services are comfortable."
Long a leader in high-speed rail, Japan has recently seen
fierce competition
from its rival, China. China currently owns the only other active commercial maglev system in the world, a line in Shanghai. China is moving aggressively forward with its
high speed rail expansion plans
, despite the embarassing setback of having to
scale back its line speeds
record paces
due to allegations of contractor corruption leading to shoddy construction.
The U.S. is currently
pondering a maglev system of its own
, but such plans remain in their early infancy, with few large commercial backers.

Found a NIB 92FS at the new Academy Sporting goods that just opened up near me. Handled it today and everything felt quite nice. The price is $536. Is that a pretty good deal for one with a case, gun, and 2 mags?
From a store, that is not a bad price. It is cheaper than the decently priced guns hop near me.
Now, at gun shows recently, I have seen them as low as $455 to $499 new. But, I was very surprised to see these prices.
I paid 530.00 for mine, new. I bought it at a local gun shop. Mine came with 2 15rd mags and case.Quote:

The guy behind the Academy counter was cool too. About my age and actually knew what he was talking about. He also checked the gun properly before handing it to me. I like that in a store. I see way to many stores not handling their firearms properly as of late.
How much did you end up paying for your Brig...? That's next on my list.Quote:

What did you trade...?Quote:

Here in Central Ohio we have 2 big sporting goods stores engaged in a price war which has driven prices down. I can buy a new 92 for $469 or a PX4 for $450 at either place but apparently many other parts of the country are higher
Well I got it off of gunbroker. I had exhausted my search everywhere locally and everywhere I called wouldnt get one for a 5 weeks at the least. I eventually ended up paying $640 after shipping and transfer. It was the most I was willing to pay so I'm happy. I'd like to have a Black 96 Brig next, however looks like that 92FS is calling my name :-DQuote:

I traded a Kimber Pro Carry II .45 (Basic- Blued, No Night Sights). Great gun with an awesome trigger pull, but it jammed rather inconsistently. I won't keep a handgun I don't trust, so I started shopping around. Beretta 96 Brigadier Inox will catch anyone's eye. It caught mine so I traded first good deal I could find.Quote:

Arsène Wenger insists that no conclusions can be drawn about his side's chances next season despite their superb recent run of form.
Arsenal have won seven league matches in a row for the first time since October 2007 and sit in third place in the Premier League table.
Wenger is delighted with his side's resurgence but says he will not be able to assess their prospects for next season until the current campaign is finished.
"Lets just see if we have the quality to maintain this consistency until the end of the season and then we can say 'OK, look'," he said. "That is not done yet, there are eight games to go and things can change.
"We are more experienced this season. Last year we were [down] at the end of the season because we went out of the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League in [13] days - subconsciously we couldn't win any more."
While Wenger refuses to get carried away about his side's upturn in fortunes, he is proud of the way they have demonstrated their quality in recent months.
"We had a blip in January, just after Christmas… but if you look at the circumstances of the blip it was down to the fact we had no full backs," he said.
"Since October, since the team has gelled, we are not on too bad a run. We have lost four league games - against Man City and the three on the trot."
"I felt we had two weak periods in the season and you can only afford one. We started very weak and I knew when we were 17th [in September] that we could not afford any weak periods anymore, so when that happened in January it was very difficult."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Environmental Studies
The environmental studies program is an interdisciplinary major that exposes students to the broad range of issues arising from the interaction of humans with the natural world, and to the tools required to understand and solve environmental problems.
Climate change, water pollution, habitat loss, biodiversity decline, acid rain and endocrine disruption are examples of recent environmental problems that require interdisciplinary thinking. The tools required to address these problems are, by necessity, transdisciplinary and include fields such as natural resource management, land use planning, cultural, historic and nature preservation, population, cultural and international studies, and ethics.
Our program is drawn from math and science, policy, ethics and society, and preservation. Coursework in these areas is followed by student-directed research leading to a thesis in the senior year. We encourage students to further address real-world issues through internships and field study.

I'm looking for some advice about teaching. To my regret I signed up for a distance learning TEFL course which I have now completed, I now know that I should have done a CELTA as I feel i learnt very little from the course. However, I have an English degree and a few years ago managed to get a job in a school in Greece teaching 8-16 year olds, from the second class of beginners up to the Michigan proficiency. I taught in this school for 4 months, 36 hours a week, so in actual fact I have had lots of teaching experience to make up for the distance course. For the past couple of years I have been doing private lessons with a variety of levels, but I really feel stuck in a rut now and need guidance on how to improve my teaching. I am about to start teaching a 4 year old and two 7 year olds but I would love to get further into exam teaching, especially the Cambridge exams.
Could you please recommend books for teaching for exams? I feel very over-whelmed by the wealth of esl material available on-line and it takes hours to sort the wheat from the chaff! For example i was trying to find ideas and lesson plans for my first lesson with the four year old and there is no clear answer anywhere! I am very isolated as i live on a small island so it is impossible for me to do an actual course, but i would love to do a distance MA in either TEFL or linguistics. Would this be possible as a private tutor?
Any comments would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
My practice seems to have developed a direction of its own and I was hoping for a little input?
Anapanasati being my main practice. Having found it extremely difficult to maintain focus I have found my mind settling in a state often described in the practice of Silent Illumination in the Chan tradition. Re-establishing focus on the breath feels cumbersome, like an intrusion. Its a very spacious awareness that comes and goes, but when its there its palpable. It has a certain amount of a feel good factor as its so calm and spacious. Effectively it fits in with the Silent Illumination genre.
Am I shifting towards Zen practices or am I making too much of this experience.
