text: Virginian-Pilot article Thoughts? The comment thread on there is interesting. Many people compare it to the McDonald's lawsuit with the lady that got burned by their coffee. I don't think he should win because I think there is an "assumed risk" but there is another issue here - too many people don't clean up after their pets.

Need some help. My Boba ESB Jetpack measures about 2 ft by 3 ft which includes thrusters and missle attached. My thrusters and missle are both toggle bolted secured. It is very difficult to assemble and unassemble for transport and requires tools. Is there a storage tote large enough for this Jetpack to remain in one piece for taking to and from troops. I though maybe some of you othere Fetts may have a similar problem or solution.
Again, the problem seems to be the width and length both fitting into the storage tote.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I just started my 79 C-10 today after over a year of sitting.
Could very well be that by the time the fuel gets to the carb it will be oil primed
After a year of sitting, it sure was not happy about coming back to life.
And I'm still not sure if the wet spot near the drivers fuel tank is a rotted fuel hose or serious condensation in a muffler that blew last year.
I'll check it later---too damn hot outside this weekend.
|welcome Mike......................Probably won't hurt anything. You could pull the distributer and hand prime the oil pump or at the very least pour a little oil down the open carb to lube the cylinder walls. i STORE MY CARS FOR 6 MONTHS IN THE WINTER AND START THEM UP WITHOUT INCIDENT.

1962 Chevy Impala
My name is Mike and I live with my wife and 4 children in San Diego, CA. I have had my 1962 Impala for 1 1/2 years, and my 3 boys ages 12, 13 and 15 have a blast cruising around town with me receiving thumbs up everywhere. Even though I am new to this site, I have a general tech question, which I know the correct answer to but need to cheat a little (maybe). I have had medical issues for nearly a year, and the Impala has not been started since last November 2005. I am better now and I want to enter it into it's first show on Tues 09/05/06. I'd normally change my own oil since nobody touches my car but me, although my lower back problems may preclude me. Here is the BIG question: WILL IT BE HARMFUL TO START THE IMPALA (350 cid) AFTER NOT BEING STARTED UP IN 10 MONTHS, AND TO DRIVE IT 3 BLOCKS TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED?

Computer Crash Recovery – A computer crash is something we all fear these days but it also seems to be something that is inevitable, random and can be quite frustrating. Computers seem to be extremely volatile these days and even still we tend to trust them with some of our most precious information.
The Top Four reasons for a computer crash are "Bad Drivers", "Bad Power Supply", "Corrupt Files" and "Overheating". Other things that can cause a crash or a freeze can be the installation or update of new software, hardware or a game.
A crash can range from something as small as an application quitting on its own to the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The BSOD isn't so simple to figure out and most often there's no way to resolve it without technicians who have the right tools to diagnose the exact nature of the issue, and that's what we here at Geek ABC are here to do. The Geek ABC onsite computer repair techs are experienced computer professionals who will come to you and work around your schedule to help meet your individual needs.

Wall Street Journal Ignores Facts To Push GOP Claim About Benghazi
A Wall Street Journal article highlighted Republican complaints that references to Al Qaeda and related terrorist organizations were removed from unclassified talking points on the Benghazi, Libya, attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility but failed to note that those references were removed to avoid compromising a criminal investigation and tipping off those terrorist organizations.
In a May 14 article about the Obama administration's release of more than 100 pages of emails showing the editing process behind unclassified talking points about the Benghazi attacks, the Journal channeled [1] Republican critiques that references to Al Qaeda were removed to intentionally mislead the American public about what occurred in Benghazi:
The talking points were meant to provide a first public account of the attacks on U.S. posts in Benghazi, which claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
The very first set of talking points said "extremists with ties to al Qaeda" took part in the attacks. The final product made no reference to al Qaeda, but to extremists.
United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice used the talking points as the basis of the administration's explanation of what happened in the assault in a series of television interviews Sept. 16, 2012, five days after the attacks.
Republicans have said the talking points show the administration misled the public about the role of al Qaeda. Democrats charge the GOP with trying to damage the standing of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a 2016 Democratic presidential prospect.
But the removal of references to Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations weren't designed to mislead anybody but terrorists. The New York Times reported [2] in November that former CIA Director David Petraeus told lawmakers in congressional testimony that the names of terrorist organizations suspected of participating in the attacks "were removed from the public explanation of the attack immediately after the assault to avoiding alerting the militants that American intelligence and law enforcement agencies were tracking them."
Additionally, the release of the talking points emails shows [3] that the CIA's general counsel was concerned about naming specific groups because it could "conflict with express instructions from NSS/DOJ/FBI that, in light of the criminal investigation, we are not to generate statements with assessments as to who did this." The emails also show State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland expressing concern that naming the terrorist groups possibly involved might "prejudice the investigation."
In contrast to the Journal's report, The Washington Post included explanations [4] about why references to specific terrorist organizations were removed from the talking points:
According to the e-mails and initial CIA-drafted talking points, the agency believed the attack included a mix of Islamist extremists from Ansar al-Sharia, a group affiliated with al-Qaeda, and angry demonstrators.
White House officials did not challenge that analysis, the e-mails show, nor did they object to its inclusion in the public talking points.
But CIA deputy director Michael Morell later removed the reference to Ansar al-Sharia because the assessment was still classified and because FBI officials believed that making the information public could compromise their investigation, said senior administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal debate.
A senior administration official said Wednesday that the only indication the CIA had at that point that Ansar al-Sharia was involved was a single piece of intelligence, whose existence it did not want to reveal lest its sources and methods be compromised.

Author of Survival Mom on surviving
Mike Yawn: A lot of people dont know much about the prepper or survivalist communities. Tell us a little about them and how you got started.
Lisa Bedford: I like to deal with reality, and Id rather do that than believe in something that isnt true and have a rude wake-up call. And the reality of our economy is what propelled me to get interested in prepping and what continues to motivate me. We live in Phoenix, one of the hardest hit cities in the country, but I think this type of economic situation is different than what weve seen in American history.
I believe in being proactive. So here I was, a suburban mom, and I started to research food storage and survival. But I noticed that everything I read was written by men. The forums, for example, would have all these topics, and at the bottom would be The Hen House, where the women were supposed to go. But there were quite a lot of women interested in this topic. The phrase survival mom popped into my head, and that was the moment that everything went in this direction for me.
To answer your question about preppers and survivalists, preppers are generally urban and suburban, and their focus is on preparing, usually for specific, future events. Survivalists may or may not be preppers, surprisingly enough! Their goal is to live an independent life, often off-grid, in rural parts of the country.
MY: In your book (Survival Mom) you seem to balance the fear of a disaster with a lighter mood. Is that purposeful?
Continued: Author of Survival Mom on surviving - Your Houston News: News
Black Blade: Survival Mom was on an early episode of "Doomsday Preppers". She's been around the Prepper Community for a while now. A lot of women preppers around now days. Many here in the mountain west who can food, grow gardens, livestock and home school their kids. I prep but do live in the very rural outlands so I guess she would call me a survivalist. The only grid tie in I have is electricity but when I retire I may go for some solar and wind power onsite. I do have a good open southern exposure and get a lot of wind at the west BOL where I have the downdrafts from the mountains.

Discussion in 'March 2012' started by roscoe36, Mar 1, 2012.
7:30 PM EST TV: FS Detroit PLUS / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
We could definately take this one. Providing Kobe, Gasol and Bynum are all out.
I just hope our players don't pass to kobe just because of his familiar mask.
I'm hoping they don't pass to Kobe from a case of the 4th qtr retards.
This one time I wish we will play to the level of the Lakers and not just lay down and let them run rough shod over us. Kobe has not lost since he went to the Masked Momba and there is no way I want to see the Lakers return to the WC Finals before my Clippers.....who have struggled since Billups went down... No secret that both Fisher and Kobe still think we stole a title from them in 2004. I saw that in a Fisher interview a couple of seasons ago ...and he almost cried again.
Gasol will have a 15-15-15 game of his own tomorrow. Except the third 15 will be blocks, not assists. Kobe by 22.
Wow, you guys are muy depressing.
On a positive note, we will get to see John Kuester and Gladys Knight.
Don't forget Darvin Ham.
Always felt the Palace shoulda offered a "Ham Slamwich" on the menu..............
So how are we going to guard the big fellas...Gasol and Bynum? You have to think that Jake Voskuhl would be in the starting lineup tonight.
"Rise and shine, the light at the end of the tunnel is arm reach away" -- Charlie V Tweet from yesterday The Lakers can only hope CV is not quite ready for tonight....
Watching Big Game James Worthy in the post game comments and he is livid and seething with the coach and Kobe. Bynum was 13-18 and Kobe is taking and missing all of the shots....yeah they beat the Bosh depleated Heat on Sunday, but could not beat the Pistons who's best two players the past couple of weeks Knight and Monroe scored only 2 points between them. Worthy is calling out coach Brown for changes.. Anyway back to the game....After a so-so first quarter where Bynum and Gasol were dominating the game, the Pistons fell behind by as many as 12 points, before they woke up and charged back to a 45-41 halftime lead with inspired play by Gordon and Wilkens of all people. Kobe shot 2-10 in the first half and had to swap masks when it appeared that the green hornet or batman facial was affecting his shooting. He and the Lakers came out strong in the second half holding the Pistons to one FT via a tech the first six minutes of the 3rd qtr. Despite the cold shooting, the Pistons kept it close by playing their own defense and the Lakers could never get it into double figures, but outscored the Pistons 20-9 in the 3rd qtr. Once again, coach Frank sat Monroe and Knight and brought back in the two Bens and Wilkens, the defense tightened and the Pistons opened the 4th qtr on a 11-2 run and the teams swapped buckets for the rest of regulation until Kobe hit a bucket with no time on the clock to end the regulation tied at 78. Stuckey who was the game MVP with 34 points and 1 assist?? , took Fisher to task and was the only Piston who was not afraid to attack the Lakers twin towers. Ben Gordon even played some D tonight and was a +24. Big Ben was also huge down the stretch frustrating Bynum on a few plays despite the Pistons leaving the back door open a couple of times for ez Laker buckets. Worthy gave Stuckey the "playa of the game" award that is usually reserved for Kobe.... Tay played Kobe well tonight holding him to 8-26 shooting and more importantly limiting him to 2-9 from behind the arc. Despite only 2 points out of Moose but he did grab 15 boards and Max had a double dime pack including a nice JAM in the last 2 mins of OT that kept the momentum going. Great game.....still waiting for my mother in law to call me and congratulate me as if I scored the winning hoop....
Great job, La Dre, you outwrote most of the journalist while the team had outplayed the Lakers. Personally I'm very happy with Stuck and Maxil played solid as they should.
Nice recap Dre. Was only able to watch until halftime, and if I was more than a fringe Laker fan I'd be mad at Kobe for jacking up shots when he was missing a bunch. As it is, I just find it funny. There's no way that team's winning anything in the playoffs if they suck this much on the road (6-13). Rodney with the Kobe-like stat line, right down to the 1 assist (shot much better though). Was concerned when I saw Greg and Brandon not playing much, but it looks like Frank did the right thing and played the lineup that played better. Good job coach.
Thanks Alexa and Bromfa Definitely a coaching win, as Frankie stayed with the bench and left his key players on the bench. In fact our bench beat theirs 32 to 7. In fact all of those 7 points for the Lakers were in the first half and 40 of the 44 points scored by the Lakers in the second half came from Kobe, Bynum and Gasol. (World Peace got the other 4). James Worthy went as far to say if the Lakers can't win on the road, they won't survived the first round of the playoffs. Coach Brown said the players were already hooping it on the plane ride that they would sweep the three game road trip....well tomorrow they play the Wizards and that could be rude awakening too. Would have been nice if this would have been the NBA TV fan night game so all could have seen the fakers lose....
That was a fun game to watch. The best game I have seen from Stuckey. Won it on defense though.
That's an Icarus type fall, beating the Heat on Sunday and losing to the Pistons in overtime two days later.
Man, I wish I could have watched this one. The box score reveals a very strange game. Stuck with 34 points, 1 ast, and 1 reb. Very Kobe-like. I saw the highlight of Kobe hitting the tying FG to send it to OT and Tay was right in his face. Very tough shot that only Kobe seems to make (maybe because he attempts hundreds of them). Not a good sign that Monroe was 1-10 against some dominant bigs. Who knows what happened with Knight... rookies are allowed to have off (k)nights on occasion, so no worries. Glad to see Maxiell step up.

By Nick Ames in Kiev
Theo Walcott believes that his starring role in England's 3-2 win over Sweden proves that any player at Euro 2012 can make a vital contribution at any moment.
The Arsenal forward entered the fray just after the hour mark to turn Friday's match in England's favour, scoring one and setting up another as Roy Hodgson's side overturned a 2-1 deficit. His performance came just four days after he was limited to a two-minute cameo in the draw with France.
"In tournaments you've always got to wait your moment if you're not starting the game," Walcott said after the match.
"You've got to always train well and be ready when the boss needs you. There's no point sulking when you're not playing - you just make sure you're ready, and hopefully I showed that."
Theo had opted against talking to the media after the France game, but said that nothing should be read into his silence.
"As a player it's always disappointing not to play at all, but that's all it was," he explained. "I was very happy the team got a result but I'd be disappointed if you saw me coming out all 'happy days' and dancing past the media.
"You've always got to show your disappointment at the right time, but it's about the way you bounce back from it and that's what I did. I'm sorry if I blanked anyone that day!"
The 23 year-old pointed to the depth of England's squad as a reason to be confident ahead of the considerable challenges to come.
"It's not always about the team that started," he said. "Twenty-three players are going to hopefully win this tournament - or take us far anyway - and it just shows how much firepower we've got on that bench. We haven't even seen Wayne [Rooney] yet, he's still to come."

Our panel of kid judges couldn't help but love these creative green bean recipes.
Versatile Green BeansGreen beans are very low in fats and full of vitamins A and C, but your kids won't be thinking about that when they try these kid-approved recipes. Whether you like to pair green beans with another kid-friendly food or make it the star of the dish, there is an option for your family.
Cheddar-Pecan Green Bean CasseroleThis recipe is similar to the classic green bean casserole, but with a few twists. Toss blanched green beans with a buttermilk-Ranch dressing and top with panko breadcrumbs, crushed French-fried onions, chopped pecans, and shredded Cheddar cheese. Your kids will love the cheese and crunchy topping, and you'll love watching them eat the beans underneath.
High-wire Haricots VertsThis colorful dish should entice even the shyest veggie eater to dig in. Bright green beans, red peppers, and thinly sliced red radishes give your child the nutrients he needs, while the sweet mandarin oranges and ginger-soy vinaigrette satisfy his sweet tooth.
Potato Gratin with Haricots Verts and HamBetter-for-you whole-grain pasta is the base for this creamy salad. Toss with green beans, bacon, and cheese, and you have a tasty, filling side. One of our judges even liked the green beans better than the pasta!
The key to making these potatoes rich and flavorful without adding lots of butter is simmering them in milk before baking.
Green Bean and Whole-grain Penne SaladBetter-for-you whole-grain pasta is the base for this creamy salad. Toss with green beans, bacon, and cheese, and you have a tasty, filling side. One of our judges even liked the green beans better than the pasta!
Green Bean Alfredo with Cheese RavioliKids love pasta, and you'll love this two-pot dish. Set aside prepared cheese ravioli while you sauté green beans with garlic and rosemary, and then prepare a creamy Alfredo sauce to top it all. If your children are feeling adventurous, add some peas and carrots as well.

"These gift tags are beautiful and arrive exactly as pictured. The design is so delicate; perfect for a baby shower which is what I used them for. The one caveat is that the white lettering is a bit difficult to see as the tag is a very pale pink. If I had to do it over again, I would use black, or a darker color, rather than the standard white. It is still very beautiful hence the five stars."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"

From its beginnings, Lesley has prided itself on its ability to offer high quality, experientially based education relevant to the needs of students and society.
From its founding, when Edith Lesley and her colleagues brought their life experiences to their work of developing the Lesley School for the training of Kindergarten teachers, Lesley has embraced the core intentions of integrating theory with practice and learning from doing.
What is unique about this "experiential learning" today is that it is integrated into the student's overall program of study. All students complete their General Education requirements, the academic requirements of their major, and the experiential learning component of their major. In this way all Lesley undergraduates are realizing Edith Lesley's vision of integrating theory and practice.
There are four modalities of experiential learning available to students (the specific requirements for each major can be found in the Majors section of the academic catalog):
An internship is a structured, supervised, credit-bearing work experience designed to enrich and complement the students' academic program. All first year students engage in an introduction to field experiences. Then internships are available during the sophomore, junior and senior years.

text: ok now that I'm down to only like 3 more upgrades for my ESB Fett to be finished I'm looking for my next project. I would like good old fashioned white armor and can't decide between Stormtrooper and Clone armor. For those who have one or the other (or both) which would you suggest? Also, if I choose to go clone which would you suggest between movie (ep2 or 3) and animated series?

Yeah, I know another Bobamaker review but it truly deserves it. So after months of waiting, a wait extended due to Daz's accident, I received my Bobamaker order. The order consisted of: helmet, jet pack, flightsuit, vest, gloves, pouches, spats, shin tools and toe spikes all painted and weathered ROTJ stylee :jet pack. The workmanship and artistry is awesome. Yes it is truly awesome. The jet pack is amazing, little details like weathering the tabs you screw the door onto make you go wow. The soft parts are great and fit perfectly, I think I need to lose a little wait. The weathering is great; I didn't even notice the subtle weathering on the vest when I got it out. All in all amazing work, well worth the wait and cost. I can truly reccomend Daz to anyone. Shipping was quick and everything was very well padded.
I also received my chest lights from Fettronics today. Exactly what I expected and looks great.
Here are some pics of the unboxing. I apologise for the quality, they were taken with my webcam.
Images should be working now.

Sigma 30mm F2.8 DN A Sony E mount lens review: reliable performance, accessible priceBy Kevin Carter - Monday September 02 2013 Lens Review
Sigma's range of DN A lenses have been designed for mirrorless cameras using both MFT and APS-C sensors, albeit with different mounts. As the equivalent to a 45mm on an APS-C camera we've tested the 30mm f2.8 on the discerning Sony NEX-7. Read on to find out how well it performs.
With their larger imaging circle we're all accustomed to thinking how full-frame lenses can be used on cameras with smaller APS-C size sensors, providing the mount is compatible, so it comes as little surprise to see Sigma apply that principle to their DN series lenses.
These lenses are designed for mirrorless cameras available with mounts to fit either Sony NEX or the smaller MFT cameras from Panasonic and Olympus. On those cameras the 30mm (please note, we've already reviewed this lens with a MFT mount here) is the equivalent to a short tele (60mm) though on an NEX body using an APS-C size sensor it has a more amenable angle of view, equivalent to a 45mm. It has 7 elements (with 2 aspheric surfaces) in 5 groups, focuses to 30cm and weighs just 130g. It's available now, for $199.

New Art series seems inferior
The Swedish vendor Cyberphoto makes excellent real use reviews of cameras and lenses. Well before DxoMark's review, they found that the Art version was noticeably softer in the corners than the previous EX DN version. http://www.cyberphoto.se/info.php?article=si30mmnex

Weird test of Sigma 30mm ?
I don't believe to this test!
The new Art version of Sigma has absolutely the same optical design as the old version. The old version was tested by Dxomark and got 12-Mpix of sharpness where is the new version by Dxomark gets only 10-Mpix of sharpness. I suppose that there is a mistake or the copy of the new lens which was tested by Dxomark was defective.
The old version test : http://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Sigma/Sigma-30mm-F28-EX-DN-Sony-E

Re: Weird test of Sigma 30mm ?
Thanks for your feedback, here is the comparison:
The 2 lenses are very close, a slight difference is noticed on sharpness measurement: the new version is slightly less sharp in the corner.
Results are very close, and should not impact the final image quality.
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

Marouane Chamakh says that Arsenal's current one-striker system is working well - even if it is keeping him on the sidelines.
The Moroccan international has found himself behind the prolific Robin van Persie in the pecking order for the majority of this season, starting in just one Premier League match against Stoke.
But although first-team opportunities have been limited for Chamakh, he believes that Arsène Wenger's tactics are a success.
"It would be better for me if we played with two strikers, but that's the system and the way of playing here," Chamakh told Arsenal Player. "I respect that and it's working very well.
"That's the way it is, that's football and if the system were to change we would need another striker. This would provide a chance for another player, but that's the way it is at the moment."
Chamakh enjoyed an impressive start to his Arsenal career following his move from Bordeaux in summer 2010 and the striker is enjoying life at Emirates Stadium.
"It's gone well overall," he said. "The first year, the first season is about settling in and adapting and there are lots of good strikers around.
"I haven't played as much, what with Van Persie coming back from injury, but for me, it's been a settling in period. It's been good to play for a club like Arsenal and getting used to the league, but I'm trying to learn, enjoy it and long may it continue."
The full interview with Marouane is now available on Arsenal Player.

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Property Tax Rules
Title 18, Public Revenues California Code of Regulations
Chapter 11. Timber Yield Tax (1020–1041)
Article 1. Valuation of Timberland and Timber (1020–1030)
Rule 1026
Reference: Sections 38104, 38108, 38115, Revenue and Taxation Code.
Exempt person or agency. The timber yield tax is imposed not only on every timber owner who harvests his or her timber or causes it to be harvested but also on every timber owner of felled or downed timber who acquires title to such felled or downed timber in the state from a person or agency exempt from property taxation under the Constitution or laws of the United States or under the Constitution or laws of the State of California. In some instances, such timber owners may acquire title to felled or downed timber directly from the exempt person or agency. In other instances, however, such timber owners may acquire title to felled or downed timber from an exempt person or agency which itself has previously acquired title to the timber from another exempt person or agency.
Where timber owners of felled or downed timber have acquired title to the timber in the state from an exempt person or agency, "first person who acquires either the legal title or beneficial title to timber after it has been felled" means the first non-exempt person who acquires such title from an exempt person or agency, and such a person is a timber owner liable for applicable timber yield tax(e.g., where the person initially felling timber is exempt from property taxation and the person acquiring the felled timber is also exempt from property taxation, the first non-exempt person who thereafter acquires title to the felled timber is liable for applicable timber yield tax).
As used in Sections 38104 and 38115 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, "timber owner" does not include, however, any person who harvests timber, causes it to be harvested, or acquires title to felled or downed timber derived from Indian lands held in trust by the United States for an Indian Tribe or Band or for any individual Indian member thereof; and no timber yield tax shall be imposed with respect to that timber upon any person who thereafter acquires title to the timber.
History: Adopted August 19, 1980, effective December 31, 1980.
Amended August 5, 1983, Section 38301 repealed effective January 1, 1983.
Amended April 22, 1992, effective September 12, 1992.

I liked Wiltjer running the offense through the high post. Think we may see more of that.
Much more fluent with him rather than WCS or Noel since he can actually hurt you from out there
This team doesn't deserve to make the NCAAT as far as I'm concerned.
Archie Goodwin is a cancer.
Everything I loved about last year's team seems to be lacking with these guys. Asides from Noel.
Felt sort of bad tonight for Noel as he was battling inside all by himself.
I know Bama played better defense in second half but some of the shots Goodwin and Harrow were throwing up were almost laughable and Wiltjer dissappeared till the last 5 minutes.
The one comment Conley made was kind of funny : " Goodwin is throwing up alot of shots that have no chance of going in. "
Mr Conley, that is what we have been watching all season.
Last edited by jmac; 01-23-2013 at 12:27 AM.
Officially, Harrow and Goodwin were a combined 5-24 from the floor.
Also , Archie played 35 minutes. So for all of us UK fans who dont care for his out of control, selfish type play, he very seldom seems to draw much of Cal's wrath.
I've intentionally stayed out of this thread because I've been taking my frustrations out on other UK boards and its not been pretty.
I absolutely loathe #10.
A win but yet a game UK should have won handily and didnt. In fact, a slip-up by officials helped near the end.
This what a bunch of frosh are supposed to look like when tossed into the position they are in.
...and this one belongs to the Reds.
I found this quote about Goodwin from Cal.
Excellent coaching move concerning his out of control drives:
What were doing to help him with that is that hes not allowed to shoot lay-ups in practice. He must pull up in the lane and either shoot pull-up jumpers around the free-throw line or shoot runners. If he shoots a lay-up, its a turnover.
Also, I would suggest if Archie continues to look for contact to shoot free-throws, he may want to do better than 5-9 or 7-13 when he gets there.
The key is balance. The Kentucky teams Cal has had the past three seasons have had veterans on the team. This years team lacks that, outside of players who have mostly been benchwarmers their entire UK career (Polson and Hood).
I knew this season would likely be a bridge year. I just expected them to start clicking by now. Noel has done fine and Poythress is starting to "get it". Archie Goodwin might be the one who makes or breaks this season.

Cant find krylon paint for plastic around here. For some reason the local Lowes and Home Depot doesn't have them. Probably some kind of contract with Rustoleum. I even tried the small hardware stores n nothing.
Can't I just primer them and paint them?

text: Strange T.O. note of the day and practice notes... A 24-year-old Oxnard man named Ricardo Magana presented Terrell Owens with four car mats with "T.O. No. 81" written on them. Owens walked over and shook Magana's hand before leaving the practice field. Oh, here are some things that happened in practice: • Rookie Jason Hatcher jumped offside on the first 1-on-1 drill of the afternoon. • Coach Tony Sparano told Pat McQuistan he was "afraid to hit" linebacker DeMarcus Ware. Later, Parcells shouted, "You cannot let that man start running!". • WR Jamaica Rector has come back strong the last week. He made another tough catch in traffic this afternoon. • WR Skyler Green made the catch of the day when he snagged a ball from Matt Baker with his fingertips. • QB Tony Romo beat the blitz in team drills with a quick pass to TE Sean Ryan, who has made several nice catches the last two days. • DE Marcus Spears steamrolled guard Stephen Peterman during 1-on-1 drills. • In team drills, LT Flozell Adams slung rookie DE Jason Hatcher to the ground. • I asked quarterbacks coach Chris Palmer about Baker after practice today: "He has a live arm and a quick release. He has good football savvy." It sounds like the Cowboys will try to keep Baker on the practice squad. Posted by Matt Mosley at 7:02 PM (E-mail this entry) | Comments (0) Quick update from practice ... Terrell Owens is the only player on the field wearing a white throwback helmet this afternoon, but don't read anything into that. He's trying to break it in since the Cowboys are wearing their throwback uniforms Monday against the Saints. Bill Parcells said he would wait until tomorrow night to decide whether Owens will play Monday. Meanwhile, yesterday was declared Rayfield Wright Day in his home state of Georgia. I'll have a great picture of the event by tomorrow. Apparently Georgia governor wanted to go head-up with Rayfield. Talk soon. Posted by Matt Mosley at 5:05 PM (E-mail this entry) | C

People who are dying are far more positive about it than people expect, according to new research.
Many expect that death will be an anxious, unhappy process. But the new study sheds light on people's feelings as they approach the end of their life – and they are surprisingly happy.
The research, published in the journal Psychological Science, compared the way that people imagine they will feel when they're dying with the way that people who actually are dying feel. It did so by looking at the writing of people who had terminal illnesses or were on death row.

1/20 'Tiny vampires' existed millions of years ago
Scientists have discovered that microscopic 'vampire' amoebae existed hundreds of millions of years ago, and they may have been some of the first predators on Earth. By examining ancient fossils with an electron microscope, paleobiologist Susannah Porter from UC Santa Barbara discovered tiny holes which may have been drilled by vampiric microbes. The tiny creatures are believed to be the ancestors of modern Vampyrellidae amoebae, and punctured holes in their prey before sucking out the contents of their cells

2/20 Kepler 62f
An Earth-like planet orbiting a star 1,200 light years away could have conditions suitable for life, say scientists. Kepler 62f is about 40 per cent larger than the Earth and may possess surface oceans. It is the outermost of five planets circling a star that is smaller and cooler than the sun discovered by the American space agency Nasa's Kepler space telescope in 2013
3/20 Vegetables grow well in soil from Mars
Scientists have taken a leaf out of the script of The Martian by showing how easy it would be to grow your own veg on the Red Planet. In the hit Ridley Scott film, a stranded astronaut played by Matt Damon uses his botanical skills to cultivate potatoes. Now his success has been emulated by researchers in the Netherlands who harvested tomatoes, peas, rye, rocket, radish and cress raised on simulated Martian soil supplied by Nasa
4/20 Ancient Roman 'leisure complex' unearthed in Jerusalem
An ancient Roman estate complete with its own wine press and bathhouse has been unearthed in Jerusalem. A series of buildings dating back at least 1,600 years were discovered underneath the city's famous Schneller Orphanage which operated on the site from 1860 until the end of the Second World War, when it was turned into an army base. The ruins were discovered by archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority who were excavating the site ahead of building new flats for the city's Orthodox Jewish community
5/20 Scientists discover possible new species of deep-sea octopus nicknamed 'Casper'
Scientists believe they may have found a new species of octopus likened in appearance to Casper, the friendly cartoon ghost. Researchers with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration made the discovery by chance as they searched the seabed on an unrelated mission collecting geological samples. Teams were operating an unmanned submarine on the Pacific Ocean floor at depths of more than four kilometres (two-and-a-half miles) in the Hawaiian Islands when they spotted the unusual creature
6/20 Black hole captured eating a star then vomiting it back out
Astronomers have captured a black hole eating a star and then sicking a bit of it back up for the first time ever. The scientists tracked a star about as big as our sun as it was pulled from its normal path and into that of a supermassive black hole before being eaten up. They then saw a high-speed flare get thrust out, escaping from the rim of the black hole. Scientists have seen black holes killing and swallowing stars. And the jets have been seen before.But a new study shows the first time that they have captured the hot flare that comes out just afterwards. And the flare and then swallowed star have not been linked together before
7/20 'Male and female brains' aren't real
Brains cannot be categorised into female and male, according to the first study to look at sex differences in the whole brain. Specific parts of the brain do show sex differences, but individual brains rarely have all "male" traits or all "female" traits. Some characteristics are more common in women, while some are more common in men, and some are common in both men and women, according to the study
8/20 Dog-sized horned dinosaur fossil found shows east-west evolutionary divide in North America
A British scientist has uncovered the fossil of a dog-sized horned dinosaur that roamed eastern North America up to 100 million years ago. The fragment of jaw bone provides evidence of an east-west divide in the evolution of dinosaurs on the North American continent. During the Late Cretaceous period, 66 to 100 million years ago, the land mass was split into two continents by a shallow sea. This sea, the Western Interior Seaway, ran from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. Dinosaurs living in the western continent, called Laramidia, were similar to those found in Asia
9/20 Asteroid to skim past Earth on Halloween 2015
A huge asteroid is set to skim by Earth on Halloween, just three weeks after it was first spotted. The rock is travelling through space at 78,000 miles per hour, and will fly past the Earth at a distance of only 300,000 miles – only slightly further away than our moon, and easily close enough for Nasa to class it a potentially hazardous object. The asteroid is bigger than a skyscraper
10/20 Life on Earth appeared hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought
Life may have come to earth 4.1 billion years ago, hundreds of millions of years earlier than we knew. The discovery, made using graphite that was trapped in ancient crystals, could mean that life began "almost instantaneously" after the Earth was formed. The researchers behind it have described the discovery as "a potentially transformational scientific advance". Previously, life on Earth was understood to have begun when the inner solar system was hit by a massive bombardment from space, which also formed the moon's craters
11/20 Earth could be at risk of meteor impacts
Earth could be in danger as our galaxy throws out comets that could hurtle towards us and wipe us out, scientists have warned. Scientists have previously presumed that we are in a relatively safe period for meteor impacts, which are linked with the journey of our sun and its planets, including Earth, through the Milky Way. But some orbits might be more upset than we know, and there is evidence of recent activity, which could mean that we are passing through another meteor shower. Showers of meteors periodically pass through the area where the Earth is, as gravitational disturbances upset the Oort Cloud, which is a shell of icy objects on the edge of the solar system. They happen on a 26-million year cycle, scientists have said, which coincide with mass extinctions over the last 260-million years
12/20 Genetically-engineered, extra-muscular dogs
Chinese scientists have created genetically-engineered, extra-muscular dogs, after editing the genes of the animals for the first time. The scientists create beagles that have double the amount of muscle mass by deleting a certain gene, reports the MIT Technology Review. The mutant dogs have "more muscles and are expected to have stronger running ability, which is good for hunting, police (military) applications", Liangxue Lai, one of the researchers on the project. Now the team hope to go on to create other modified dogs, including those that are engineered to have human diseases like muscular dystrophy or Parkinson's. Since dogs' anatomy is similar to those of humans', intentionally creating dogs with certain human genetic traits could allow scientists to further understand how they occur
13/20 Nasa confirms Mars water discovery
Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae — or dark patches — on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts.
14/20 Bees in the Rocky Mountains are evolving shorter tongues
With warmer summers, flowers in the Rockies have become shallower and more suited to shorter-tongued bees

The titular alien character from 2011's 'Paul' - a poll has found the majority of the public in Britain, Germany and the US believe that intelligent life is out there in the universe
16/20 Researchers discover 'lost world' of arctic dinosaurs
Scientists say that the new dinosaur, known as Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis, "challenges everything we thought about a dinosaur's physiology". Florida State University professor of biological science Greg Erickson said: "It creates this natural question. How did they survive up here?"
17/20 Scientists find exactly what human corpses smell like
New research has become the first to isolate the particular scent of human death, describing the various chemicals that are emitted by corpses in an attempt to help find them in the future. The researchers hope that the findings are the first step towards working on a synthetic smell that could train cadaver dogs to be able to more accurately find human bodies, or to eventually developing electronic devices that can look for the scent themselves.
18/20 The Syrian civil war has caused the first ever withdrawal from the 'doomsday bank'
Researchers in the Middle East have asked for seeds including those of wheat, barley and grasses, all of which are chosen because especially resistant to dry conditions. It is the first withdrawal from the bank, which was built in 2008. Those researchers would normally request the seeds from a bank in Aleppo. But that centre has been damaged by the war — while some of its functions continue, and its cold storage still works, it has been unable to provide the seeds that are needed by the rest of the Middle East, as it once did.
19/20 A team of filmmakers in the US have made the first ever scale model of the Solar System in a Nevada desert
Illustrations of the Earth and moon show the two to be quite close together, Mr Overstreet said. This is inaccurate, the reason being that these images are not to scale.
20/20 Academics claim a full bladder makes for a better liar
People lie more convincingly if they have a full bladder, according to research by academics at California State University. Iris Blandón-Gitlin's team asked 22 students to lie to a panel of interviewers. Half were given 700ml to drink before the interview and the other half, just 50ml. The students with the full bladders showed fewer signs that they were lying and their untrue answers were longer and more detailed, meaning interviewers were less able to detect that they were telling porkies. PM David Cameron has previously attested to giving speeches on a full bladder.
It found that the people who imagined their own death tended to think it would be a negative, worrying. But the people who were actually dying tended to be more positive than expected.
"When we imagine our emotions as we approach death, we think mostly of sadness and terror," says psychological scientist Kurt Gray of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "But it turns out, dying is less sad and terrifying – and happier – than you think."
The research should encourage people to look differently at death, and to the way that we care for people who are dying, the scientists said.
"Humans are incredibly adaptive - both physically and emotionally--and we go about our daily lives whether we're dying or not," Gray explains. "In our imagination, dying is lonely and meaningless, but the final blog posts of terminally ill patients and the last words of death row inmates are filled with love, social connection, and meaning."
The first part of the study took blog posts by people who had terminal illnesses – either cancer or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It also took blog posts by people who had to imagine they were dying, and writing a blog post with only a few months to live.
The researchers then used a computer program to explore those responses, looking for the amount of words that described negative or positive emotions. And it found that the people who actually were dying had far more of the good emotions, and much fewer of the bad ones.
It also found that among the people who really were dying, the number of postive words actually increased as the people got closer to their death.
A second study used a similar methodology but looked at letters written by people who were on death row, and compared them with people who had to imagine themselves into that situation. Again it found that the tone of the people who really were about to die had a more positive tone.
The researchers say that the results question the traditional thinking about how we die and how we think about it.
"Currently, the medical system is geared toward avoiding death – an avoidance that is often motivated by views of death as terrible and tragic," the researchers write in their paper. "This focus is understandable given cultural narratives of death's negativity, but our results suggest that death is more positive than people expect: Meeting the grim reaper may not be as grim as it seems."Reuse content

Git was created for development speed and according to our survey results, this is exactly why organizations from a wide range of sectors have turned to it. Its speed and powerful branching and merging have led to its adoption within companies of all sizes, both in terms of employee size and annual revenue. Git's adoption in the enterprise, is clearly seen as a shining point.
Specifically, Git is enabling development teams to be more agile and innovative, and to move at a fast pace. Survey data reveals that Git is almost always associated with leading-edge mobile, social and cloud-based applications, along with more frequent product iterations.
As with all tools, Git has shortcomings that lead to challenges and concerns among its users, and in particular with management in enterprise settings. Those key challenges are with regard to security, governance and administration at scale.
To make up for these shortcomings, enterprises are adopting a hybrid approach to source code management (SCM) usage, making it a vital if not major part of their development process. They also prefer to complement SCM with central administration and governance functions.

I was recently asked by a friend in the PR sector to come and speak with their PR team about SEO for PR. In the process of gathering information and recalling my own experience with assisting clients to make their PR efforts SEO friendly, I thought I would share the parallels between SEO and public relations because, quite honestly, SEO and PR go hand in hand.
There are two core elements that every search marketer can use to help make their clients PR efforts a worthwhile online strategy.
Optimization can help shape three key areas:
- News Room
- Have an archive of press releases with an abstract for each
- Distribution via RSS or email opt in
- Event listings for company, along with a list of awards & associations
- Company FAQ sheet
- Press Releases (including articles & whitepapers)
- Determine core keywords or phrases that describe the service or product offering described the release
- Research keywords for relevancy using an outside vendor or a keyword suggestion tool ( Google AdWords Keyword Suggestion Tool or SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool are two of my favorite freebies)
- Keywords in the body of the press release should fall between 2-5% of the total body copy
- Anchor text links, META description, tracking URL
- Amplify Interactive has a download on our Resources page with more specific tips for Press Release Optimization
- Other content released by the client (videos, images, maps, books, etc.)
- Alt text for videos, images & maps
- Tracking URLs
- META description if applicable
- Here's a link to Amplify Interactive's tips for optimizing videos, images, podcasts & other content for "universal" search
Basically, if it can be searched on, it needs to be optimized.
Online reputation management – old school vs Web 2.0
Old school PR often times has a different approach to dealing with reputation management, which can really burn a clients profile. Web 2.0 provides a platform for all to speak & for all to be heard. Simply ignoring ugly press or fluffing things up a bit to makes things seem better than there are don't work well in this space. Users want and appreciate honesty & transparency.
Problem: Bad press is dominating the first page results for a client.
Solution: Quickly compose a keyword loaded press release & submit to the major online wires as well as post it in the clients news room section of their website. As the press release starts to saturate the wires, it'll knock the bad press out of the top results.
Problem: Should a client allow comments on their blog? What if someone leaves a scathing message?
Solution: YES allow comments. The purpose of a blog or forum is to encourage & help facilitate communication among your audience. Disallowing comments makes it a stagnant one way conversation. Respond to all comments – good and bad. People will appreciate your candor and will hopefully have more respect for you in the long run.
When you integrate SEO into PR, everyone wins.

Re: Music Pirate (resub)
I Severely Dislike that this shirt is on a dark background but the its an awesome shirt still and it really wouldn't work on any other color background.
Re: Let go
Excellent shirt. GMV. And let it be known that Chopin is my homeboy.
I'm a happily married man and I WILL BUY this shirt if it prints(GMV of course). Just cause it's got a little pink doesn't make it a girly shirt if you ask me. Some of the most confident and successful men in the world wear a lot more pink than that. Anyone asks why you got pink, tell them you don't question your own masculinity. Or do you? ^_^

re: it's a von trapp!

I love this one just the way it is - no changes needed. We need bright Spring colors like this shirt has. Many derby shirts appeal to the Y-chromosome more than the X, so this one gets my vote!
dcshcmo wrote:"... everybody could totally see that this was that song ..."
No. Absolutely not. Without any sort of context, there is no way in hell that anyone could pick that one song out of the millions out there based on a waveform alone.
I guess some people just don't understand sarcasm...
Very cool! Good idea. It's a tad bit crowded to me, but still neat.
I like the simplicity of this... nice.

This took no artistic talent what so ever. I simply pasted a musical note in brown to the front of the shirt and ran a liquefy filter over it.

National Park
Wyoming, Idaho, Montana
Yellowstone National Park is a treasure that inspires awe in travelers from around the world. New Zealand and Iceland are known for their geysers, but nowhere are there as many as in Yellowstone. Scenery, wildlife, and history were contributing factors influencing Congress to establish Yellowstone as the world's first national park in 1872.
At the heart of Yellowstone's past, present, and future lies volcanism. Catastrophic volcanic eruptions occurred here:
- About 2 million years ago,
- then 1.2 million years ago,
- and then again 600,000 years ago.
The latest eruption spewed out nearly 240 cubic miles of debris. What is now the park's central portion then collapsed, forming a 28- by 47- mile caldera (or basin). The magmatic heat powering those eruptions still powers the park's famous geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots. The spectacular Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River provides a glimpse of Earth's interior: its waterfalls highlight the boundaries of lava flows and thermal areas. Rugged mountains flank the park's volcanic plateau, rewarding both eye and spirit.
Old Faithful to Mammoth Hot Springs
One of the main routes to Old Faithful is from the south via Jackson, Wyoming, and the South Entrance. The park road crosses the Continental Divide three times. Waters flow east of the divide to the Atlantic, or west to the Pacific. This park route passes five geysers
- West Thumb,
- Upper (Old Faithful),
- Midway,
- Lower,
- and Norris
on its way to Mammoth Hot Springs. Sampling the world's largest concentration of geysers, you follow the beautiful Firehole and Gibbon rivers. A visitor center at Old Faithful and a museum at Norris tell aspects of the park story.
Old Faithful
Old Faithful Geyser is the world's best-known geyser. Its eruption intervals have long varied around an average of 65 minutes, ranging from 30 to 120 minutes. Recent earthquakes have lengthened the average interval to 78 minutes. Eruption times of other nearby geysers are available at the visitor center.
Old Faithful to Madison
- In Black Sand Basin the bright colors of Sunset Lake and Emerald Pool attract photographers.
- At Biscuit Basin, mineral deposits took on biscuit shapes before a 1959 earthquake triggered changes destroying the biscuits.
- At Midway Geyser Basin you may walk to Excelsior Geyser Crater and Grand Prismatic Spring. Firehole Lake Drive (one way, northbound) loops off the main road to Great Fountain Geyser, Firehole Lake, a hot pool, and the Three Senses Trail.
- The Lower Geyser Basin features the Fountain Paint Pots. Fountain Flat Drive exits west and ends at Goose Lake. Firehole Canyon loop drive (one way, southbound), starting south of Madison Junction, passes by Firehole Falls.
The museum at Madison Junction portrays the evolution of the national park idea. Roadside forests are mainly lodgepole pine, some reddened by the feeding of mountain pine beetles. West Yellowstone, Montana is 14 miles west of Madison Junction. From Madison to Norris you drive along the Yellowstone caldera's northwest rim. Gibbon Falls cascade over the caldera wall.
Norris Junction to Mammoth Hot Springs
- Norris Geyser Basin's array of thermal features is unparallelled.
- Steamboat Geyser, the world's largest, erupts at irregular intervals of days to years.
- Echinus Geyser erupts about once per hour.
- Porcelain Basin is Yellowstone's hottest exposed area.
Exhibits at Norris Museum explain geyser workings. At Norris Junction you can turn east toward the Canyon area. At Canyon you can go north to Tower Junction or south to the Lake Area.
- Continuing north of Norris you pass Obsidian Cliff. Obsidian, a volcanic glass excellent for projectile points and cutting tools, was traded across North America by Native Americans.
- Five miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs, at Swan Lake Flat's north end, a rough one-way dirt road goes around Bunsen Peak.
- Two miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs the Upper Terrace Loop Drive passes through a fascinating thermal area. Gnarled limber pine trees on some extinct formations are over 500 years old.
- At Mammoth Hot Springs the terraces are spectacular travertine (calcium carbonate) formations deposited daily. Most new rock from Yellowstone's geysers is called geyserite, a noncrystalline mineral chemically similar to glass. Exhibits at Albright Visitor Center portray the park's early history and wildlife and tell how the US Army protected the park from 1886 to 1916. Park headquarters is in the buildings of Fort Yellowstone, a late 19th-century cavalry post. Gardiner, Montana, lies five miles north. The Yellowstone River flows north, eventually to join the Missouri.
To Tower Junction and Canyon
The road east from Mammoth Hot Springs leads your four miles to Undine Falls, then 0.2 miles to Lava Creek.
- Three miles further east look for waterfowl and muskrats at Blacktail Ponds.
- Next, Blacktail Plateau Drive, a one-way dirt road eastbound, leaves the main road to traverse grass- and sagebrush-covered hills and forests of Douglas-fir, Engelmann spruce, and lodgepole pine. Watch for pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and elk. Scattered groves of quaking aspen trees turn gold in autumn.
- The next side road leads to a petrified redwood tree. Such trees may be found over hundreds of square miles in northern Yellowstone. Some are still in an upright position.
Tower Junction to Northeast Entrance
Lamar Valley, accessible all year, is winter range for elk and bison. You may camp at Slough Creek or Pebble Creek campgrounds en route to the Northeast Entrance, 29 miles from Tower Junction. Beyond lie Silver Gate (one mile) and Cooke City, Montana (four miles), and the Beartooth Highway climbs to 10,940 feet at Beartooth Pass.
Tower Junction to Canyon
Tower Falls, tumbling 132 feet, was named for the adjacent volcanic pinnacles. Tower Creek flows into the Yellowstone River. South from Tower Falls, as you drive up Mount Washington, look east, downslope, into prime grizzly bear country on Antelope Creek. This area is closed to human travel, to offer the bears refuge.
The main road next crosses Dunraven Pass at 8,850 feet elevation, amidst broad-topped whitebark pines and spire-shaped subalpine fir. Meadows produce a profusion of wildflowers during the brief summer.
From the Washburn Hot Springs Overlook south of the pass, you can see the Yellowstone caldera. Its north boundary is Mount Washburn and its south boundary is the Red Mountains 35 miles away. You can see the Teton Range on clear days, on the right beyond the Red Mountains.
Because of bear activity here, camping is restricted to hard-sided units only. Exhibits at the Canyon Visitor Center explain the park's geology. A 2.5-mile loop road (one way) leads first to a spur road out to Inspiration Point. Here the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River plunges 1,000 feet below you. The canyon's colors were created by hot water acting on volcanic rock. It was not these colors, but the river's yellow banks at its distant confluence with the Missouri River, that occasioned the Minnetaree Indian name which French trappers translated as roche jaune, yellow stone. The canyon has been rapidly downcut more than once, perhaps by great glacial outburst floods. Little deepening takes place today.
Grandview Point
Grandview Point affords a distant view of the 308-foot Lower Falls. Lookout Point affords a vista of Lower Falls, and a steep trail descends to a closer viewpoint. Back on the main road turn left in 0.3 miles to view the brink of the 109-foot Upper Falls. Back on the main road again, go 0.6 miles south to Artist Point Road and cross Chittenden Bridge to Uncle Tom's Parking Area. Trails here offer close views of the Upper and Lower Falls. South Rim Drive leads to Artist Point for another view of the canyon and Lower Falls.
Hayden Valley
The road here follows the Yellowstone River's meanderings across a former lakebed. After the great glaciers retreated, Yellowstone Lake was much larger than it is today, and this area was then flooded. The lake left fine silt and impermeable clay soil that permits little tree growth but allows rich shrubland that provides food for a variety of wild animals. Waterfowl, including white pelicans and trum-peter swans, abound in marshy areas. In this open parkland you may see moose, bison, and occasionally grizzly bears.
VIEW LARGE ANIMALS ONLY AT A DISTANCE, FROM YOUR CAR OR FROM ROAD-SIDES. Do not stop in roadways; use roadside parking areas for your safety.
No fishing is allowed for a 6-mile section in Hayden Valley. This provides quiet for the animals and views of untrammeled wilderness scenery for you. Stop at Mud Volcano and see the varied thermal features there. You might see spawning cutthroat trout jumping at Le Hardy Rapids, 3 miles north of Lake Junction, in June and July.
The Lake Area
East Entrance to Fishing Bridge Junction
Cody, Wyoming, lies 50 miles beyond the East Entrance. As you cross 8,530-foot elevation Sylvan Pass, watch for pikes and yellow-bellied marmots, illustrated above, in the rocky debris of talus slopes. You descend the west slope of the Absaroka Mountains, an eroded volcanic range named for the Crow Indians. Near Yellowstone Lake a spur road leads to Lake Butte Overlook for a view of this immense body of water. Yellowstone Lake occupies only the southeast quarter of the Yellowstone caldera. At the overlook you are 4 miles outside the caldera's east boundary. Just north of the lake the Earth's surface is rising about 0.9 inches per year! This suggests future volcanic activityhere. As you drive along the lake's edge, you can see Steamboat Springs. This is a hot spring remnant located on a line of faults, or fractures in the Earth, that also pass through Mary Bay and Indian Pond to the northwest. Bay and pond both occupy geologically recent hydrothermal explosion craters. The bottom sediments in Mary Bay are still very warm. Watch for moose browsing in the sedge meadows and marshes along Pelican Creek flats as you approach Fishing Bridge.
Exhibits at Fishing Bridge Museum feature the park's birds. Fishing Bridge itself spans the Yellowstone River, the lake's outlet. The bridge was closed to fishing in 1973. Fishing Bridge now offers one of the best wild trout spawning shows anywhere for most of the summer. White pelicans feed on the native cut-throat trout. Because of a high level of bear activity, only hard-sided units are allowed to camp in the Fishing Bridge area.
Yellowstone Lake is North America's largest mountain lake. Over geological time it has drained into the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean via Hudson Bay, and now drains into the Atlantic via the Gulf of Mexico. It is 20 miles long, 14 miles wide, and 320 feet deep at its deepest point. The average depth is about 139 feet. Trout generally inhabit the upper 60 feet because their foods rarely occur below that depth. The average surface temperature in August is about 60°F, and the bottom temperature never rises above 42°F. Swimming is discouraged even where not prohibited: Such cold waters can cause potentially fatal hypothermia or hyperventilation in minutes.
Boating is popular on some park lakes. Permits (required for all watercraft) and advice on canoeing and kayaking can be obtained at ranger stations at Lake Village or at Grant Village. A marina is at Bridge Bay and boat ramps are at Grant Village.
Traveling toward West Thumb you may take a rough spur road, starting south of Bridge Bay, to see the natural bridge for which the area is named. Gull Point Drive loops off the Grand Loop Road for a closer view of the lake's edge.
West Thumb and Grant Village
Walk the boardwalk through the geyser basin at lake's edge at West Thumb. Intense heat measured in lake sediments below West Thumb indicates a shallow thermal system underlying this more recent caldera within the Yellowstone caldera. Should the lake level fall just a few feet, an immense steam (hydrothermal) explosion could occur here. That is what created the craters now filled by Mary Bay and Indian Pond, described above. Exhibits at Grant Village Visitor Center, two miles south of West Thumb, feature the park's immense wilderness. Fishing, boating, and backcountry use permits are available at the ranger station.
The General park map handed out at the visitor center is available on the park's map webpage.For information about topographic maps, geologic maps, and geologic data sets, please see the geologic maps page.

Research is a necessary component of the fire management program in Yellowstone. Research on the park's fire history has evaluated the natural role of fire in the Yellowstone ecosystem. This research was the foundation for the prescribed natural fire program begun in 1972. Fire research is conducted by, or is under the guidance of, the Research Division. Research on fire effects continues to be conducted on vegetation, fuel moisture of 1000-hour fuels, wildlife, fisheries, water quality, air quality, soils, and plant succession. Many projects have been undertaken in the aftermath of the 1988 fires and will provide valuable information about the effects of such large magnitude fires. This research will be analyzed and used in the fire management decision-making process.
Further information about the park's research program is available on the park's research webpage.
For information about permits that are required for conducting geologic research activities in National Parks, see the Permits Information page.
The NPS maintains a searchable data base of research needs that have been identified by parks.
A bibliography of geologic references is being prepared for each park through the Geologic Resources Evaluation Program (GRE). Please see the GRE website for more information and contacts.

Bruce Rittmann, the Director of the Center for Environmental Biotechnology at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State, focuses his efforts on reclaiming contaminated water and producing renewable energy using microbes.
He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2004 and credited with pioneering development of biofilm fundamentals and contributing to their widespread use in the bioremediation of contaminated ecosystems. His research combines many disciplines of science, including engineering, microbiology, biochemistry, geochemistry and microbial ecology. Formerly with Northwestern University, Rittmann is also a leader in the development of the Membrane Biofilm Reactor, an approach that uses bacteria to destroy pollutants in water. The Membrane Biofilm Reactor is especially effective for removing perchlorate from drinking water, and it is being launched commercially.
In this podcast, I talk with Dr. Rittmann about the biofilm reactor process, the electricity hiding in our wastewater, and how we may some day grow fuel on the roofs of buildings.

I accept the challenge of the original poster. My IGN is NoirXIII. Please roll me with your awesome fps skills. I do have my hand tied behind my back, right?
I had a very laggy experience with this game. It was SO laggy that I found myself teleporting around the map or sumthin like that. It was basically a CG image on my screen with a robot in the middle changing its location every few seconds. Whenever I tried to attack a robot of some sort, it would just totally freeze the game (plus more teleportation).
