Share some of these great new picture books with your young reader:
In "Lucky Ducklings" (Orchard Books/Scholastic, $16.99, ages 3-6), author Eva Moore and artist Nancy Carpenter team up to tell the delightful, true rescue story of a group of ducklings who accidentally fell through a sewer grate in Montauk, N.Y., more than a dozen years ago. While the story will undoubtedly remind picture-book lovers of author/artist Robert McCloskey's masterpiece, "Make Way for Ducklings," Moore and Carpenter manage to give their own spin to a duck drama that will have young readers on the edge of their seats. Moore's text nicely highlights the excitement of the story, while Carpenter's illustrations have a classic look while still conveying the fluffy charm of the ducklings and their worried mother.
Spectacular photographs and a brief, lyrical text combine to make "The World Is Waiting for You" (National Geographic, $17.95, ages 3-6) an irresistible read. Written by Barbara Kerley and featuring photographs by various National Geographic photographers, this picture book will help inspire young readers to get out and do some hands-on exploring of nature. At the very least, it will remind kids — and adults — to take a moment to savor the bounty of natural beauty in their world.
Preschooler Lily is having a hard day, as she feels grumpy and out of sorts. But Lily's day gets even harder when, in a fit of pique, she throws her beloved stuffed dog Bobbo up in the air and he lands on top of a school bus that is traveling down the road. Lily is heartbroken until her mother helps her track down Bobbo at the school to which the bus was headed. In "Bobbo Goes to School" (Candlewick Press, $16.99, ages 3-6), award-winning picture-book author/artist Shirley Hughes tells a story that will grip young readers. They'll readily identify with Lily's heartbreak and guilt when she appears to lose Bobbo, and cheer when her stuffed toy is eventually found, none the worse for wear. Hughes' gouache illustrations are colorful and expressive.
Author Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrator Tom Lichtenheld tell a tale about finding your place in the world in "Exclamation Mark" (Scholastic, $17.99, ages 4-7). In this case, however, the one finding his way is an exclamation mark, who "stood out from the very beginning" among the sea of periods that surrounded him. It's not until the exclamation mark meets a question mark that he begins to realize that he's not the only one who stands out. Rosenthal's clever text is perfectly matched by Lichtenheld's boldly graphic illustrations that somehow manage to impart a huge amount of human expression to the exclamation mark as he searches for a way to "make his mark" in the world.
Visiting her great-grandfather, a young girl discovers a cigar box containing a number of matchboxes, each with something inside it. As author Paul Fleisch-man relates in "The Matchbox Diary" (Candlewick Press, $16.99, ages 5-8), the items inside the matchboxes tell the story of the great-grandfather's long-ago journey from Italy to America. It's a story filled with challenges and hope, as well as the great-grandfather's intense longing for literacy and a better way of life in his adopted country. Fleischman, who won the 1989 Newbery Medal, offers readers a memorable and moving immigration story from a child's point of view. (Note: The Newbery Medal is given annually by the American Library Association to the best-written children's book.) Fleischman's text is complemented by evocative illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline; the illustrations, done in acrylic gouache on pages meant to look yellowed with age, overflow with an unusual mix of grandeur and heart.
Most kids (and let's face it, many grown-ups, too) are afraid of the dark. But author Lemony Snicket brilliantly demystifies it by making it a character in "The Dark" (Little, Brown, $16.99, ages 4-8). Snicket, best known for his best-selling children's novels "A Series of Unfortunate Events," here tells the story of a boy who is respectful, not terrified, of the dark until one night, when his night light goes out.
At that point, he hears the dark speaking to him, urging him to come down to where the dark really hangs out in the boy's house — the farthest corner of the basement.
It's there that the adventurous boy finds just what he needs: a new bulb for his night light. Children will find this book utterly fascinating as they discover a new way to think of the dark, and they will take courage from the gouache-and-digital illustrations of 2013 Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen, who manages to combine both creepy and cozy elements in his artwork. (Note: The Caldecott Medal is given annually by the American Library Association to the best-illustrated children's book.)
Both kids and their parents will be enthralled by "Building Our House" (FSG, $17.99, ages 4-8). Written and illustrated by Jonathan Bean, the book gives readers a step-by-step look at the laborious but fascinating task of creating a house from the ground up. Based on Bean's own childhood experience, "Building Our House" is slightly larger in size than typical picture books, and Bean makes great use of the extra space to offer lots of humorous details and close-ups of the construction work in his watercolor-and-ink illustrations.

Hey all you guys and girls out there. I have been around race cars and street rods and racers my whole life. I am looking for any advise anyone can give me on getting into the driver seat of a race car. I have a buddy of mine that works for a race team but he keeps pushing the subject like he's afraid to ask if I can try out for the team. It is a 4 cylinder class. That is actually where I want to start out. The reason I don't just buy my own way in is that money is really tight and I would rather start off driving for someone else. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Im not sure how much help i can be...Im also new to racing, only i race a purestock monte carlo with a 305 V-8.I planned on racing a 4-cylinder compact but found this car cheap so decided to jump right into the bigger class.If i was you i would get into the drivers seat one night and see how you like it.If its something you think you will enjoy doing...try to put some money back and build a car of your own.I wish i could be more help but like i said...im kinda new at this still.
I think it's best to start in a four cylinder. It's inexpensive and a good place to learn, but if you don't know if you're good at something until you try, so getting into something a bit peppier won't hurt, just will need lots of seat time. I want to jump into a mod... but I'm not sure if I should myself... Thinking four banger might be best to see if I'm good at that.
Well, diving ALL THE WAY IN myself. Hung out with my buddy all year, he's racing Modified 1/2 mile. So, just bought a Lefthander (same make as my buddy so we can exchange spare parts) and building a motor. 406 small block, gonna have bout 7K in it when I'm done. Had a powerglide built for it (I have a bit of a disability (can't use a clutch)). Matter of fact, that's my first sponsor, trans guy threw in all his labor, so got a glide with direct drive for 800 bucks (instead of the 1,250 he had on the bill.Sure hope I can handle it! Been a cop all my life (retired now) and been through all the schools and more than a few high speed pursuits, did pretty good, so I think I'll like it. Never been on the track yet!Gonna try out that new Comp Cams Outlaw 4&7 swap for traction control!!Dave
I've been around racing my whole life which hasn't been very long I'm 21. my dad builds the heads for Rod Fuller in the Catipiler top fueler and he has worked on alphalt circle track cars for as long as I can remember I tried to get in someone elses car for awhile but couldn't find someone that wanted to foot the bill for a rookie so I started real small I bought and built what they call a hornet car. A completly stock 4 cyl car without the glass and lights, throw in the safty equipment and go racing. Granted it isn't the same, it will let you get started. I've been driving for 4 yrs now and have a mini stock or super mini depending on were you are racing. The main thing is to get behind the wheel, you can progress as your budget and skill does. That will keep you racing until you catch a break and someone gives you a ride. I'm still waiting for mine. I'm also looking for a pro 4 or late model light depending on were you are if anyone has a roller or one they wanna sell for cheap call me 208-695-9006 thanks hope this helps and the most important thing is just to get racing.
Racing is one of those things that for the most part if you get into it and like it, one becomes hooked... I started out a bunch of years ago just going and then I helped in the pits and so on and so on... Then A friend of mine broke an appendage and whoopee.. I got in to a Super Stock, and damn it all, I loved it... Over the years, I have driven strictly stock up to Late mods and love them all... Although I have this problem, I love to go fast (living and driving in Germany really fueled that... Have been out of racing for a couple of years due to a divorce amongst other difficulties... Enough of that garbage... Go to the track, meet some race guys and gals, Just listen, you would be surprised at how often someone is selling a car due to different reasons, and alot of times really cheap that is already legal at your local track... That way you can get into it relatively cheaply and you also don't have to worry about breaking the rules right away... Also, take the time to talk to senior drivers and ASK for help, alot of times guys in higher divisions would love to help out... The racing family is a great thing... PS... Finally getting back into it again... Anybody have anything they want to sell in and around Florida, drop me a note, you never know..

"Just grab a seat at the Jamestown salon," says Catherine Finney. "Sooner or later, over the course of the day, everyone in town will show up."
Catherine is a Web site designer, land conservation consultant, real estate appraiser, and recent chairwoman of the zoning review board in Jamestown, Rhode Island. It's easy to see why everyone would visit the "salon"―or, more officially, the East Ferry Market & Deli. The deli and its little patio overlook the town dock at the end of Narragansett Avenue. Sailboats slice across the serene waters of Narragansett Bay. The spires of Newport rise in the distance. To the north, the great silver span of the Newport Bridge―now called the Claiborne Pell Bridge―arcs across the bay.
The vistas seem as big as all creation, but the distances are on a human scale remarkable even for compact New England. "The nice thing about Rhode Island is that you can be hopelessly lost on the other side of the state and be home in less than an hour," says Catherine. "We're lucky to have our open spaces and yet have so much available just a few miles away."
"Jamestown is small enough that if you want to know a large number of your neighbors, you can," says real estate agent Ginny Prichett. "But it's large enough that if you want privacy, you can have that, too."
Neighbors seem the farthest thing from the mind of the sea kayaker paddling the edge of a salt marsh on his way toward the island's Beavertail peninsula. The peninsula, where rambling shingle-style mansions loom above the water, culminates in Beavertail State Park, with its gentle bike paths, 1856-vintage lighthouse, and wave-hammered, rocky shores.
Beavertail and the smaller Fort Wetherill State Park are the area's major public preserves. But land-owners have kept open a significant amount of island acreage through conservation easement programs and sale of development rights.
At the heart of the island is a property safe from any threat of development. The Watson Farm, with three-quarters of a mile of bay frontage, was bequeathed to the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities so that it might remain a working farm. Don and Heather Minto have managed the property ever since.
"We both grew up in the suburbs, but we'd decided that farming would be our vocation," says Don, as he and Heather relax in the barnyard. "There are moments when we stand on top of the hill looking down toward the bay and just say 'Ah.' "

Dance Clubs in Denver
There is no shortage of dance floor square footage in Denver. For ground zero of Denver dance clubs, downtown's LoDo district is the hot spot for what is hip and chic. Lotus in LoDo boasts one of the best Ladies Nights in town—no cover and free drinks 'til 11pm, just right about when the party gets started. Club Vinyl's many bars and dance floors make this Denver dance club feel like many dance clubs in one and keeps the night interesting with different music for different moods (or mood enhancers). For dance to a different beat than techno, bass and hip hop, Denver's Rumba dance club gets caliente with live salsa preceded by free salsa lessons on Rumba's large dance floor.

This was a commission I did for Maria Espinosa. It's about the history of how her family was displaced in Culebra by the U S nay and migrated to the island of St. Croix in the 1940's. Maria Espinosa's Grandfather lost the use of his left hand, his right arm and vision from his left eye as a result of a hand grenade left by the navy at the age 14.

Back in March, Aer Lingus invited TravelSkills along for the maiden voyage of a big green A330 outfitted with its new lie-flat business class seat and enhanced service. In our first Trip Report you find all you need to know about the hard product— what the best seats are, inflight entertainment, sleep quality, etc.
But today, let's take a look at the food service, which I must say was some of the tastiest, most satisfying and beautifully presented business class fare I've had in a while. Highlights include big healthy portions, a nice express option for those who want to sleep, and some off-the-menu surprises, like the warm samosas pictured above.
NEWS: Aer Lingus to be taken over by British Airways parent IAG (and likely switch to Oneworld from the Star Alliance)
There's very little negative news to report here… about the only thing that went wrong with the meal service was that hot towels came after appetizers were served… in both directions. Seemed odd to touch food with airport- dirty hands… but anyway…
Let's take a look! First, the SFO-DUB leg (about 9.5 hours) was on a Friday evening (departing at 6:30 pm) and the mood was festive because many of us were flying to Dublin for St Patrick's Day weekend. So the pre-flight champagne flowed freely.
But I wanted to get some sleep since I had meetings planned as soon as we landed, so I opted for an orange juice and the express meal, which was prompt, beautiful and delicious. That meant I got several hours of good sleep on the lie-flat seat.
Service was excellent with some nice touches that I noticed. For example, before placing a white linen table cloth on the tray table, busy flight attendants would ask, "May I dress your table?" or before pouring wine, "Would you like to try the Valpolicella before I pour?" This was all the more impressive because there were only two flight attendants hustling to serve the sold out business class section (23 seats). What was even nicer is the kind way that they worked together, saying things to fellow attendants like, "Can you fetch another bottle of fizzy water from the galley, darling."
Best sure to read the first Trip Report about this Aer Lingus flight.
A fine selection of warm bread, oregano marinated chicken breast with a tomato alfredo sauce with a nice touch- sprigs of fresh oregano and ravioli.
One of the best parts about a trip to Ireland are opportunities to taste the country's fine cheeses- flights on both directions provided several.
After my express dinner, I slept soundly for a few hours and awoke to a light continental breakfast (Bread, fruit, yogurt, coffee/tea) just before landing.
Okay, so that concludes the SFO-Dublin portion of the trip. Now let's fly back to SFO and dine exquisitely!
Okay, let's get onboard for the 11-hour flight back to SFO!
This is Part 2 of our Trip Report on Aer Lingus SFO-DUB. Best sure to read the first Trip Report about this Aer Lingus flight.
Disclosure: I was a guest of Aer Lingus on this roundtrip flight.
NOTE: Be sure to click here to see all recent TravelSkills posts about: Largest hotel you'll likely never visit + Delta accused + Starwood Hotels' new tech touches + Southwest adds Oakland-Atlanta service
BEST for travelers who love Southwest's no frills approach to travel: The Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier Card offers 50,000 points (enough for TWO roundtrip flights) after spending just $2,000 in first three months, plus a 6,000 point bump every year on your cardmember anniversary. In addition, it does not charge foreign transaction fees, and offers two points per dollar spent on Southwest flights as well as its hotel and car rental partners. What's nice about this offer is that the 50K bonus points get you almost half way toward Southwest's coveted Companion Pass status, which requires 110,000 points. Details

text: The abilitises of this card are not as great as some of the other cards in the same price range. This card offers nothing special that other cards don't do equal to or excel in. This is a great shame as I had hopes for this particular card. It's a shame that it fails because normally this manufacturer excels at producing low cost graphic cards. The installation was a breeze however, and the drivers were ok and functional. However the card in easy to set up, and the instructions are easy to understand and clear, therefore it is ok for starters.

Hewitt Advises GOP Presidential Candidates Not To Debate Through "Mainstream Media" Outlets
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In a June 5 Washington Examiner article, Hugh Hewitt advised potential GOP presidential candidates not to participate in presidential debates that are organized by "traditional media" outlets. Hewitt claims that the "media that is overwhelmingly opposed to" the election of GOP candidates might skew questions with its "built in bias." From the article (emphasis added):
Incredibly, once again, GOP primary voters will only get to see their would-be nominees through a lens ground by traditional media. The event is being sponsored by CNN, local television station WMUR and the New Hampshire Union Leader.
CNN Chief National Correspondent John King will moderate the debate, with reporters from the local outlets. No doubt these are fine journalists, but like King, they will almost certainly carry with them all the biases and predispositions of the mainstream media.
If Dr. Charles Xavier could leave his X-Men films to read the minds of these and other journalists, how many do you suspect he would find who support a right-to-life amendment, oppose same-sex marriage, are eager to slash the corporate tax rate?
We all know this built-in bias exists, but still the candidates (except Sarah [Palin]) agree to play by rules dictated by media that is overwhelmingly opposed to their election.
Expect the standard stunt questions on abortion in the event of rape or incest, weapons of mass destruction, evolution, global warming, or any of a dozen other dog whistles to the left designed to create the moment that replicates across the Web, that seeks to wound prospects by defining the GOP field as outside the mainstream.

China booking place in space club
Page Tools
China's second manned space mission will be launched today, carrying two astronauts into orbit on a flight lasting several days, the Government announced yesterday.
The mission will make China only the third member of an exclusive club of countries that have twice put a man into Earth orbit.
A rocket carrying the Shenzhou VI space capsule will blast off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the Gobi Desert in China's north-west, the Xinhua News Agency said.
An earlier Xinhua report said a crew had been picked from a field of six finalists but didn't give their names.
A newspaper identified the pilot as Fei Junlong and said he would be accompanied by Nie Haisheng. The report by the Chongqing Morning Post did not give a source for its story.
Nie was among three finalists for China's first manned space flight in 2003.
Today's flight will be more complicated than the 2003 mission, according to state media.
Reports say the two astronauts will take off their 10-kilogram space suits to travel back and forth between the two halves of their vessel a re-entry capsule and an orbiter that is to stay aloft after they land.
They will also conduct experiments, Xinhua said, but details have yet to be released.
State television will cover the launch live, two years after China's first manned space mission. Colonel Yang Liwei orbited Earth 14 times on the Shenzhou V craft.
Showing how far China has to go to catch up to space powers Russia and the United States, a Russian capsule carrying a cosmonaut, a US astronaut and an American space tourist returned to Earth on Tuesday from the International Space Station.
Russia, then the Soviet Union, and the United States put their first men into space in 1961.
Xinhua said China's spacecraft, with two astronauts on board, would blast off from the Jiuquan satellite launch centre in Gansu province and touch down in the remote northern region of Inner Mongolia.
Analysts said China's second launch marked an important step in the development of its space program.
"This flight is a necessary and notable step on their way to the stars," said Anthony Curtis, editor of the online magazine Space Today and a professor at the University of North Carolina.
The Shenzhou capsules are based on Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, a model developed in the late 1960s and still in service.
The expanded Shenzhou VI included a second compartment that would serve as the crew's living quarters and a site for doing experiments, China Newsweek said. Xinhua previously said pig sperm would be taken into space and brought back for analysis. But the China Daily said yesterday that the spacecraft would not carry any plant seeds, as previously reported, and experiments would focus on "human activities".
China has come a long way since Mao Zedong lamented in 1957 the year the Soviet Union put a man-made object into orbit that the country was incapable of putting a potato into space. China launched its first satellite in 1970.

I feel like it was just yesterday that I was headed to the hospital to have him.
I swear I blinked my eyes and a month is gone already.
Where does the time go!?!
Today I thought I would share with you the story of Aidan James' entrance into this world.
Let's backtrack a bit, shall we. My due date was August 24th. On Friday the 17th, I went for my last ultrasound and baby boy was estimated to weigh 8lb 13oz, a big boy for sure! Considering Aidan's weight and my size, I was informed of some possible complications (shoulder dystocia) that could occur with giving natural birth. Talk about a possible c-section was discussed and I left my appointment having to make a big decision. On Monday, I was scheduled to see my regular doctor for what I hoped was my last appointment before having Aidan. I was 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced at this point so any day my little boy could make his appearance. We discussed the results from my ultrasound and I made the decision to have a c-section. With the present warning signs and risks I decided not to take any chances. My c-section was scheduled for Thursday, August 23rd at 1:00 pm.
Well Aidan decided he could not wait until Thursday. Wednesday morning at about 1:00 am I decided it was time for bed. Little did I know, that about a half hour later I would be woken up abruptly to my water breaking. I remember being so concerned that I wouldn't know if my water broke. Yea that was so not the case. It was very clear that my water just broke. I believe my exact words to my fiancee were "either my water just broke or I peed in my pants". I'm not sure I ever saw him jump up so fast. I made all the necessary phone calls and headed to the hospital. Figures after seeing 4 different doctors for 9 months not one of them would be the doctor to deliver my son. I was a shaky mess during all of this. In my mind I was prepared for Thursday but not for everything to be happening the day before . I remember telling my mom Tuesday night "I only have to make it through tonight and tomorrow night" but Aidan obviously had other plans.
One of the benefits of having a scheduled c-section is you don't have to experience labor pains right? Well I got to experience both! I had no idea I was having contractions until they hooked me up to that machine that shows when a contraction is coming on. Around 3:30am the nurse came in and informed me I would be going in for my c-section at 4:30am. I had an hour to wait, piece of cake right. HA! Around 4:00 the pain kicked in and the next half hour was miserable and I mean miserable. The procedure went smoothly and I finally got to meet my little man. And sure enough he was 8lb 11oz!!!
I have never been happier in my entire life.
The love I feel for this little guy cannot even be put into words.
And you want to know the crazy thing about all of it. My grandfather, who's house I currently live in, passed away a year ago on Aidan's birthday. Talk about the circle of life!

Vavic Hits Six For No. 1 USC In SoCal Tournament Championship Win
Sept. 30, 2012
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. - The No. 1 USC men's water polo team honed in on its ninth SoCal Tournament championship in the past decade thanks to a bombshell dropped on host UC Santa Barbara today in the title match, sparked by a career-high six goals from Nikola Vavic. The Trojans brought the No. 6 Gauchos back down to earth after UCSB's upset of No. 2 UCLA in the semifinals by serving up a 14-5 win to take the tourney crown. USC keeps its 2012 slate clean with the win to hold a 14-0 overall record on the year.
With his new career-high six goals in the game, Nikola Vavic became just the third Trojan since 2001 to score six in a single game. Daniel Lontay did it vs. Cal in 2001 and, Peter Kurzeka hit six vs. Cal Baptist last year. What's more, Vavic catapults up the USC all-time scoring charts to now sit No. 14 all-time with 133 career goals. He had entered the tournament ranked No. 20 before going big in totaling 14 goals in the four games this weekend, including nine today across the semifinal and final.
Vavic set the tone right out of the gates as the junior rifled in a hat trick before the Gauchos could even get on the board. The 3-1 lead care of Vavic was bumped to 4-1 on a score from Zach Lucas, and although UCSB would again cut it to two at 4-2, the Trojans found a quick response. Goalie James Clark put a stop to a Gaucho 6-on-5, and USC went the other way, rattling off three straight scores. Kostas Genidounias lit the fuse to go up 5-2, and Vavic hammered home his fourth soon after. Genidounias again hit the back of the net, and the Trojans were holding a hefty 7-2 advantage early in the second.
UCSB snapped the streak with a score, only to see another Trojan tear with a goal from Connor Virjee followed by a searing bar-in blast from Genidounias to heap a 9-3 Trojan lead on their hosts by halftime.
Much to the Gauchos' dismay, Vavic was far from done on the scoring front in the second half. He opened the third period with a 6-on-5 finish to match his career high of five goals and take the Trojans ahead 10-3. And while Clark continued to rack up save after save for the Trojan defense, Vavic would go ahead and make it a career day overall, picking up his sixth to give USC an 11-3 advantage going into the final frame.
After a scoreless third, UCSB stopped a 4-0 scoring run by the Trojans with a power play goal, as Ely Bonilla took over the cage for Clark in the fourth. Rex Butler would get in on the scoring action next for USC, however, joining Vavic and Virjee as successful left-handed Trojan scorers. Up 12-4 on Butler's blast, USC saw Andrew Reego and Russell Renteria strike, too, before the Gauchos got one to go to make it 14-5.
The tournament title is a healthy boost for the Trojans, who now hit the road for an MPSF clash with fellow conference power Stanford next week. USC will face the Cardinal in a 9 a.m. game on Saturday (Oct. 6) at Stanford's Avery Aquatic Center in USC's Pac-12 Networks television debut.

Tyler Ortego is turning shoreline control on its ear. Ortego, a biological engineer and owner of ORA Technologies, is the inventor of a method of shoreline control which creates semi-artificial reefs using oysters. His graduate work at Louisiana State University focused on how to use oysters to create erosion barriers.
Ortego's research resulted in two inventions: OysterKrete and OysterBreak. Both employ the oyster's inherent nature of clustering to fill in the gaps of strategically placed submerged precast concrete rings.
OysterKrete promotes oyster attachment to the hardened concrete's surface. A roughened surface texture is very important for early growth. OysterKrete is a harsh mixture that results in a hardened concrete that resembles pervious concrete.
OysterBreak focuses on the artificial reef structure. The system uses stacks of specially designed concrete rings similar in size, shape, and weight to spacer rings used on manhole risers, but featuring anchor lugs and wave openings. Each ring is wetcast using the OysterKrete mix design.
These living barriers become structures for shoreline erosion protection. Placed in rows two to three deep, the OysterKrete structure allows tidal water to easily move within the structure, while resisting wave action that causes shoreline erosion.
An advantage of OysterBreak is its design flexibility. Engineers can determine the proper geometry between two segments of OysterBreak reef with coastal engineering analysis. The relationship between OysterBreak segment length (flushing gap interval), flushing gap length, and distance to shore will result in a secure structure that will yield the proper wave-shoreline interaction.
Workers place the rings with enough spacing to accommodate oyster colonization. New oysters can fill the spacing between rings for many generations. On a project in Chesapeake Bay, researchers reported oyster growth after two seasons. Another OysterBreak design advantage is that it is easily expanded. Owners can add additional rings on top of existing structures for future growth.
Ortego has licensed his two inventions to Wayfarer Environmental Technologies, of Hunt Valley, Md. In turn, Wayfarer is using Oldcastle Precast as its exclusive manufacturer.
The structures offer engineers another tool to help solve shoreline erosion problems, says Dale Robicheaux, who markets these products for Oldcastle. Oldcastle engineers can aid engineers in designing customized elements to create living structures to mitigate shoreline erosion.
To learn more about OysterCrete and OysterBreak, visit Wayfarer Environmental Technologies at www.wayfarertech.com.
— By Rick Yelton, editor at large, Hanley Wood Commercial Construction publications.
More than an Erosion Barrier Wall
There is an environmental benefit from creating living oyster reefs. Where oyster beds are under duress, OysterBreak provides a safe haven. The structures give oyster larvae a secure place to nest. The new permanent residents provide millions of larvae each breeding season.
OysterBreak structures help regenerate the oyster beds. When an oyster dies, the uncemented valve falls to the seabed. In short time, the newly shelled covered area becomes a viable harvest bed. These oyster reefs have additional environmental benefits. Reestablished reefs enhance habitats for commercial fishing and expand sport fishing.

Yes we have a assault ban. There are ways around it. However, no pre-bans and no mags over fifteen rounds.
It would take forever to "try" to explain the laws of our wonderful state. Your better off doing your own research. Then coming back with any questions. I'm sure you will have many.
I believe that Cobray and Intratec are both banned by name and features. I could be wrong on this. I haven't seen one in this state in over fifteen years.

Hunger In the Panhandle
Amarillo, Texas -
According to the 2014 Hunger in America study, the High Plains Food Bank serves 92,000 people.
According to the 2014 Hunger in America study, the High Plains Food Bank serves 92,000 people.
That number is from 2010, when the food bank was helping 42,000 individuals.
High Plains Food Bank Executive Director Zack Wilson says "That's 20 percent or nearly one in five people in the Texas Panhandle received assistance through the food bank or through one of our partner agencies over the past twelve months."
The national average on the Feeding America report says one in seven people seek help from food banks.
Wilson says "We knew the need was still high but at the same time it was a little higher than what we expected."
An interesting point in the report shows that 59 percent of people who receive help from food banks have jobs.
Wilson says "It says to us that underemployment here in the Texas Panhandle is a big factor especially when you move out into the rural areas, you know just not making enough to make ends meet."
Wilson also says 85 percent of the people surveyed were buying the more inexpensive food.
Wilson says "If you're having to choose between two things instead of cutting food out completely, then why not get something that's cheap that's 99 cents or something that's frozen or processed. But it goes back to that health issue, it's not necessarily healthy for you."
Something that's unique about this study...it's the first time the number of college students have been included.
Five percent of the 92,000 people are college students.
Four percent of those are full time and once percent are part time.
The High Plains Food Bank currently has food pantries at both West Texas A&M and Amarillo College.

Before Def Leppard, heavy metal was associated with leather, studs, and motorcycles. After a pair of mega-platinum albums in the '80s, Leppard proved that pop hooks, hard rock, and good looks could equal massive success, hatching a slew of imitators in the process. Despite numerous setbacks such as drummer Rick Allen losing an arm in an accident, followed by the death of guitarist Steve Clark, the British band persevered, achieving even more popularity. Though they inspired legions of hair metal bands, their longevity is a testament to their enduring musical legacy.
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) paper sleeve pressing. Universal. 2008.
Def Leppard's rock sensibilities shot them right to the top of the charts in the '80s. On their third album, Pyromania, the band reconciled new wave melodicism with heavy metal and catchy hooks without compromising any of its edge. The album has sold over 10 million copies, due in part to heavy rotation on MTV. But even without their ubiquitous television presence, anthems like "Rock of Ages" and "Foolin'" still had the stuff that drove the kids crazy. Bursts of screaming guitars and simple power riffs joined forces with choruses that begged to be shouted along to. Guitarists Phil Collen and Steve Clarke may have provided all the pyrotechnics on Pyromania, but the focal point of Def Leppard's sound, particularly for their teenage female fans, was singer Joe Elliott's voice (and, of course, his hair). The record--an essential brick in the foundation of '80s metal--also contains the hit "Photograph." --Steve Gdula

Titanic-Themed Escape to Halifax
Nova Scotia's capital is a hip, harbor-hugging city and its 400,000 citizens know how to have some serious fun. But Halifax has a past that's been touched by tragedy, too: Most famously so in April 1912, when the RMS Titanic went down in the North Atlantic Ocean. Being the closest major port to the site of the capsized ship, Halifax became the base for recovery operations, and international attention focused on the city as wreckage and remains filtered through. In this centennial year, the spotlight is being switched on again in Halifax as Titanic aficionados—from near, far, from wherever they are—flock in. Here's the how-to for a perfect (and poignant) weekend escape.

VerTerra Dinnerware has undertaken and passed the most stringent tests for safety and environmental concerns. Making safe dinnerware for you and your family is important to us. Please see below for an overview of the VerTerra dinnerware safety tests, the results, and what they mean to us. Feel comfortable enjoying VerTerra Dinnerware and recommending them to your family, friends and colleagues.
Anaerobic Plate Count - APC35CTest: Coliform and Yeast/Mold testing
Result: Passed. All tests showed at below the minimum detectable amounts.
Explanation: The products are sanitary for immediate use out of the package.
PhytoSanitationTest: Before shipping, the container is fumigated and tested for safety. To be exported, the test must be passed.
Result: Passed.
Explanation: Plant material is safe for contact with food.
FDA & USDA Inspection
Test: Upon entrance to Port in the US, shipments are sample spot checked before release to ensure health and safety.
Explanation: VerTerraâ"¢ is FDA and USDA approved before reaching your door.
Test: Health, Composting and Composition. Maximum thickness of 2.8mm (2x the thickness of our standard product) using FTIR infrared spectrometry, ash
testing and AA (Acid Ash) heavy metals testing. This test was run by Advanced Materials Center, Inc.
Result: VerTerraâ"¢ dinnerware was shown to pass against the standards for all 13 heavy metals.
Explanation: Testing for heavy metals is for both human and environmental concern. The tests showed that not only were VerTerraâ"¢ products well below the acceptable level, they were a fraction of any competitor product.
Compostability TestingTo meet the US Composting Council and Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) criteria for compostableASTM D-6866
Test: Biological material testing
Result: Bio-based determination showed a result average of 100%.
Explanation: VerTerraâ"¢ products are completely natural. There are no additives, plastics, waxes or glues in VerTerraâ"¢ products.
ASTM D-6868 with pre-screening of ASTM D-6002 per OECD 208
Test: Compostability and safety of composted material—summer barley used as the germinating spore. Test run by Advanced Material Center, Inc.
Results: Passed with 92% in 14 days. Additionally, plant growth was 66% greater than the base line soil test and 32% greater than the compost alone test.
Explanation: Simply put, the compost mixed with VerTerraâ"¢ byproducts acts as a fertilizer, enhancing plant growth.
ASTM D-5338 with pre-screening of ASTM D-6002 per OECD 208
Test: Compostability and safety of composted material—cress seed used as the germinating spore. Test run by Advanced Material Center, Inc.
Results: Passed with 95% in 14 days. Additionally, plant growth was 56% greater than the base line soil test and 69% greater than the compost alone test.
Explanation: A mixture of compost and VerTerraâ"¢ byproducts acts as a fertilizer, enhancing plant growth signicantly. Not only does VerTerraâ"¢ compost, but also
makes high-quality compost.
ASTM D-6868 and ASTM D-6400
Test: Speed and ability to be composted. Test run by Advanced Materials Center, Inc.
Results: The test was run for only 62 days instead of the full 90 day course, due to the expedited rate of composting. Samples averaged 95.4% compost disintegration
with a carbon nitrogen breakdown of 13.5:1.
Explanation: As the standard for this test is 60% in 90 days, VerTerraâ"¢ dinnerware breaks down 150% above the standard in 2/3 the time. That means that VerTerraâ"¢ breaks down at 227% the rate that competitors do, so if you run your own composting facility the product will be composted in a fraction the time.

RCA made in Japan???????
I have run across 9-pin miniature tubes that have a stop-sign logo on them, but they may not be RCA. Was there a Japanese company that used the stop-sign? This particular example is a 12AX7A with Curtis Mathis and Japan on the tube. It has the stop-sign, but it doesnt look exactly like an RCA logo. Did RCA manufacture in Japan, or use a Japanese supplier? Mark
Most of the japanese manufacturers I've come across use the stop sign, or the long octagon thing.. like a rectangle with chamfered corners.
Don't think it has anything to do with RCA...
Although, I'm sure RCA sourced some japanese tubes in the end years, and some Japanese manufacturers probably had old RCA tooling.
Probably not an RCA. The 2 has the look of being copied by someone in a country with a different alphabet.
I also found a Realistic 12AX7A with very similar if not identical mechanical characteristics inside the tube (very different from an RCA). This one says USA on it, but it is only yellow paint, not an "elongated octagon" logo. One might contend that Radio Shack sold their tubes in the USA. I worked there in the early 70s. Anything for a buck.
I agree. The manufacturer probably had nothing to do with RCA, except someone trying to imitate their logo. Thanks, Mark

DHCP Block List – Callout DLL
It never fails as I'm at working looking at my DHCP lease pool I find entries for "Dave's-iPad", "Android123456…", "iPod",ect… It is our policy that no-district equipment should get access to our network. This includes out wireless network. What is happening is that students find the wireless access points that I use on Laptop carts and reset them. Then they just lo-gin with out restriction.
The most logical way to solve this problem is removing the WAP from student access. I would love to place them in the ceiling or where students don't have access, but that is a budget request that I have been turned down for. So as a way to discourage students from accessing the network I have implemented a DHCP block list.
This has been implemented within a Windows 2008 server for DHCP, but don't exists for the windows 2003. Or at least it isn't support in an update by Microsoft. The answer still comes from Microsoft as they have released the a version of the DHCP call-out. Download the files DHCP Call-out

I'm not a designer, but I have an eye for design. I find that mingling with brilliant designers contributes immensely to my success as a developer. Much of my data visualization work is done via d3.js, which I've found to be a wonderfully expressive framework.
I do best in an environment that promotes mutual learning and growth—teaching is learning. I appreciate projects that focus relentlessly on user experience first, with room for creativity and experimentation.

Canada checking flu found in ducks
Beth Duff-brown, Associated Press
November 1, 2005
TORONTO - Nearly three dozen wild ducks have tested positive for the H5 bird flu virus in Canada, officials reported Monday, but they said it was unlikely to be the strain blamed for more than 60 human deaths in Southeast Asia.
Dr. Jim Clark of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said it would take at least a week to determine whether the flu found in 33 ducks from the provinces of Quebec and Manitoba is the deadly H5N1 strain that has ravaged Asian poultry farms. But it is unlikely to be that strain because none of the wild ducks tested was ill, he said at a news conference.
Clark said 4,800 samples had been collected from wild birds in seven Canadian provinces in a study begun before the recent spread of H5N1 to Turkey and eastern Europe.
He said it was not surprising to find a variant of the H5 virus in Canada. He said it can be present in at least 7 percent of wild birds in North America at any given time, but in less virulent forms than the H5N1 strain.
The spread of H5N1 across the Eurasian land mass has world health experts worried about the possibility of a human flu pandemic that could kill millions and cripple economies.
The more extensively a bird flu virus spreads, the more chances it has to mutate into a form that can pass easily from human to human. So far, all the deaths attributed to H5N1 have occurred in people who caught it from a bird.
The World Health Organization says the H5N1 outbreaks in Southeast Asia have infected 121 people and caused 62 deaths in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia. Vietnam has been hardest hit, with more than 40 deaths and tens of millions of bird destroyed.
Less virulent strains of the H5 virus have been found before in North America. Parts of Mexico have endured an outbreak of H5N2 flu in poultry operations for more than a decade.
Canada had an outbreak of bird flu in 2004, but it was the less harmful H7 virus, which isn't believed to pose a serious risk to humans. About 17 million birds in British Columbia were slaughtered in early 2004 in an effort to stamp out any spread of the virus.

Christians need to avoid misplaced affections, especially when it comes to their relationship with God.
"And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Deuteronomy 6:5.
All Scripture references in this writing are from the King James Version of the Holy Bible.

Misplaced Affections
Christians need to be extremely aware of misplaced affections, especially concerning misplaced affections meant only for God. Our society is growing increasingly more materialistic, with a focus on self instead of on God. We have forsaken our first love, and traded that which is good for that which is evil and detestable in God's eyes.
We all have an "inner void" that only God can truly fill. We can try to fill that void with other things and people, but nothing will ever satisfy us except for our one and true Creator, who is God. An example is the people who have everything this material world can offer (money and riches), but yet are utterly miserable, unhappy and depressed. Without God, we are nothing. Only He can truly complete us!
Our Reasonable Service
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2 Timothy 3:1-7.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12:1.
Focus On Things Above, Not Things Below
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." Colossians 3:1-17.
The Devil Tries To Temporarily Reverse The Sin Curse
The devil is trying to deceive people today into thinking that the sin curse has been reversed, which was instituted by God against mankind, and resulted in the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. The enemy wants the world to believe that there are no consequences for sin in our lives today. This makes a mockery of what Christ came to do for us regarding paying the price for our sins. If we are not under the sin curse, as the devil wants the world to believe, then Christ came in vain to die for our sins and be our Savior.
While technology, fast food, and time-saving conveniences can be a real blessing sometimes, they can also serve to lure people away from the God. We all need to be careful to avoid the deception that can come with the benefits that modern conveniences and technology bring. The devil wants us to be deceived into thinking that we are no longer under a sin curse, and that we can do whatever we like here in this life, without any consequences for our thoughts or actions. He wants to "soften the blow" of sin to make it acceptable today.
While some of the symptoms of the sin curse may not be as evident today due to the many pleasures that have been provided for us, the penalty for engaging in sin is real and has not been erased by Christ or anyone else. We can have forgiveness for our sins through Christ, but those people who continue to engage in sin are still under the penalty for their sins. If left unforgiven, sins will result in eternal separation from God, in Hell.
To further help you, I encourage you to obtain and read my other writings, especially Sins and Distractions.
Everything Hinges On Our Love For God And Our Love For Other People
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:37-40.
Our misplaced affections intended only for God will lead us astray from His Truth. Unless we truly repent from our sins, and seek God with all our heart and soul, we shall be led astray by our own lusts and fleshly desires.
We must treat others with respect and love as God has commanded, and forgive them of all trespasses, otherwise we risk losing our soul to Hell for all manner of sins that we engage in and are consumed with.May we never again have our affections for God misplaced. May we worship Him in spirit and in truth, and be faithful to Him, forevermore!

Speeches and Spotlights
Remarks to the Special Board of Regents meeting on the external review and audit of Gopher Athletics
Thank you, Mr. Chair. First of all, thank you Ms. Schanfield and Mr. Dixon for your diligent work, your thorough examination, and your insights. You conducted this review with the utmost integrity and independence. And Associate Vice President Klatt, thank you for your always excellent work. I also want to thank the oversight committee – capably led by Regent Laura Brod and including Regent Abdul Omari, for their diligence on these issues over the past few months. Both the external review and the audit will help us improve and become a stronger University.
We're a global university with strong ties to Hong Kong and South Korea
The third international trip of President Kaler's presidency had strategic goals of rejuvenating alumni chapters in Hong Kong and Seoul, and strengthening partnerships with some of Asia's top institutions of higher education. The traditional connection with Seoul National University is well-known among Koreans, and the strengths of the University of Minnesota align nicely with those of the five institutions he visited during a whirlwind week of activity.
Remembering 9/11
I want to clarify some news, and much misinformation in the media, about a recent vote the University's undergraduate government, the Minnesota Student Association (MSA), took about honoring the victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
President Kaler's statement on the hiring of Tracy Claeys as the Gophers head football coach
Tracy Claeys is the right person for this important job. I applaud and fully support Interim Athletic Director Beth Goetz's decision to bring continuity and stability to our football program, which is clearly on an upward trajectory. I have great confidence in Coach Claeys and his staff to recruit talent and excellent student-athletes while building on a strong foundation. But make no mistake, Tracy Claeys is his own man and will bring his own energy and commitment to excellence while embracing Gopher Athletics' culture of compliance, both on and off the field.
Go here for the full announcement from Gophers Athletics.
Campus climate update
As you know, I, along with many others in our community, have made campus climate a top priority. We have laid a solid foundation and a lot of good work is underway. But there's still much to do.
Our priorities have focused on engaging the campus community; increasing the diversity of the faculty, staff, and student populations; enhancing competency in what it means to create a respectful, inclusive, and welcoming climate; and leveraging the Strategic Plan to advance this work.
On Jerry Kill's decision to step down
A person's health is far more important than a football game or season, and while I am deeply saddened by Coach Kill's decision to step down as our coach, I respect and support it. I am thankful to Jerry for his service to the University, and I wish him and Rebecca only the very best. Jerry has become a friend, and I want him to take care of himself.
Ours is a football program on an upward trajectory. In his five years as our head coach Jerry Kill brought integrity, discipline and pride to the program. He helped fill stadiums and lead us to post-season bowl games. But, more importantly, we also saw our football student-athletes perform better in the classroom than at any time in history.
The Michael McConnell Collection: "A history that shouldn't — and now won't — be forgotten."
Here at the University of Minnesota we teach history and we make history. And sometimes, when we find ourselves on the wrong side of history, we must learn from it.
Tonight, thanks to Michael and Jack, we are celebrating an extraordinary history that few universities share, the history of a remarkable journey for Jack and Michael, for the GLBT community . . . and for us as a University community. Our curator, Lisa Vecoli will fully explain the story behind tonight's gathering.
Local, global, healthy and wise: President's report to Board of Regents
The very long headline for my report this month is this: We're Healthy, We're Welcoming, We're Taking The Steps We Need To Take To Be A National Model On Key Issues, and We're Spreading The Word About Our Impact And Value Statewide And Worldwide.
AAU sexual assault survey: We must do better to ensure a safe and respectful campus climate
Last fall, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities participated in the Association of American Universities' (AAU) inaugural Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct. We were one of 26 AAU institutions and one non-AAU university that participated in this survey, the largest and most comprehensive examination to date of issues of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and stalking on university campuses.
New semester energy: President Kaler's report to the Board of Regents
With students, faculty and staff across our system beginning a new academic year, we certainly have much on our plates to get done. I look forward to tackling the initiatives on my 2015-2016 Work Plan, which I'll share with you at the conclusion of my report. And I'm eager to work closely with you on the areas you emphasized in my 2015 Performance Review, including completing a Progress Card, which will track signature goals. We'll be discussing the Progress Card in a few minutes.

Groups Ask MN Supreme Court to Block Wolf Season
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Two groups have asked the Minnesota Supreme Court to block the state's wolf hunting and trapping season.
The Center for Biological Diversity and Howling for Wolves filed an emergency motion with the state's highest court Monday after the Minnesota Court of Appeals turned them down Wednesday.
The Court of Appeals ruled they failed to show irreparable harm would result from letting the state's inaugural wolf hunting season open Nov. 3.
Collete Adkins Giese, an attorney for the center, says they're hoping the Supreme Court disagrees and rules before the season begins.
The Department of Natural Resources disputes the groups' claims that its process for taking comments on its wolf season regulations fell short of what state law requires. The DNR plans to let hunters and trappers take 400 wolves.
