Back in 2002, superstar literary journal Conjunctions redefined the intersection of science fiction and lit with its "New Wave Fabulists" issue. Now they're trying to do the same for urban fantasy.
Conjunctions #52, out now, has a theme of "Betwixt The Between: Impossible Realism," and here's the description:
Postfantasy fictions that begin with the premise that the unfamiliar or liminal really constitutes a solid ground on which to walk.
No, I don't know what that means either. I guess it's something to do with the idea that the standard fantasy trope - the dreamlike realm, in which the protagonist learns that everything is weirder and brighter than he/she realized - is actually more "solid" than reality. Or something. In any case, who really cares, when we're getting literary "postfantasy" from Joyce Carol Oates, io9 contributor Jeff Vandermeer, and Elizabeth Hand... plus a selection from China Miéville's new novel The City And The City? Can't wait to get my hands on this. [Conjunctions, Thanks Michelle!]

Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.

HotShock 5 (Plug-In) Energizer Kit
Electrify fences via 110V (plug-in) power with this 0.5 joule energizer kit.
Kit Includes:
- HotShock 5 Energizer
- 100 ft roll of Insulated Wire
- 3 ft Ground Rod & clamp
- 5 Light Tester
California Residents: Proposition 65 Information
Common Uses
HotShock 5
- Peak output: 0.5 joules
- Pulses per minute: 38
- 110 AC draw: 1 watt per hour
- 12v DC draw: 46 mA/hr. With this energizer a 12v 100 ampere hour, deep cycle battery will last approximately 54 days* on a clean or a weedy fence. *Assumes being drawn down to 40% between recharges.
- Includes: 12v battery leads and 110v adapter
- Impedance type: low
- Should power 1 mile of 3 strand cattle fence, 1/2 mile of a 5-7 strand sheep fence, 6 of the 164' sheep/goat nets and 3 of the 164' poultry nets. All distances are dependent on amount of grass/weed load on the fence.
Kit includes:
- HotShock 5 Energizer
- 100 ft insulated wire
- 3 ft ground rod
- 5-light fence tester
5-light tester: Low cost way to make sure you have enough volts on the fence to keep animals in and predators out.
Ground rod and clamp: Galvanized rod does not rust or corrode.
100 ft MaxiShock single insulated cable: It's extra-thick layer of galvanized zinc will protect the connection from rusting for years. Unlike normal insulated fence wire, MaxiShock insulated cable does not require special connectors.
How to Use
- Connect insulated cable (stripped back 1 - 2" on ends) to the fence terminal on energizer, run the cable to the fence line and connect, or use the positive part of the Wiring Harness, not included.
- Then run a second length of cable from the ground terminal (with ends stripped again) on the energizer to the ground rod, or use the negative part of the Wiring Harness, not included.
- Secure to ground rod with a clamp.
- Plug into outlet and test fence.
To use light tester WITHOUT ground probeFor Fence:
- Touch the top of the tester to the electrified fence you wish to test.
- Push the button (if applicable).
- The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
- Turn on energizer.
- Touch the top of the tester onto the top of the fence terminal on the energizer.
- Push the button (if applicable).
- The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.
To use light tester WITH ground probeFor Fence:
- Insert the probe of the tester into the soil.
- Remove your hand from the metal portion of the probe (to avoid a shock).
- To get a voltage reading, touch the metal clip (on the top of the tester) to the electrified fence you wish to test.
- The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
- Remove the tester from the fence and the probe from the soil. Do not remove the probe by pulling the insulated wire.
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
- Turn on energizer.
- Touch probe from tester to ground terminal on energizer (be sure to hold onto the insulated wire and not the metal probe!)
- At same time touch the fence hook on tester to fence terminal on energizer.
- The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.
Ground rod and clamp
- Allow 3 ft of rod per joule of energy released.
- Use multiple 6 ft rods for large energizers and 3 ft rods for smaller energizers (and lightning diverters).
- Make sure to put the ground rod all the way into the ground.
- To attach ground wire, strip the coating off the wire 1" - 2" and make an elongated "U" in the wire.
- Put the "U" against the rod and put the clamp around it. Tighten.
100 ft MaxiShock single insulated cableJust cut the soft wire cable with a knife, strip off the insulation and wrap it 4 or more times around the wire by hand. It can be removed and reinstalled many times
- Make sure the energizer is unplugged before working on the fence or the energizer.
- When using a 12v deep cycle battery, there is no case to protect the battery, so the battery will be exposed to the elements and risk of theft.
Ground rod and clamp: When installing more than one ground rod, space the ground rods apart 2 feet longer than the rod. Example 3' rods should be spaced 5' apart.
To Reduce Risk & Liability
- Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!
- Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.
- Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.
HotShock 5To determine if the fault is with the fence or the energizer...
- Test the energizer first
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and the fence wire.
- Turn energizer back on.
- With fence tester, put the ground probe (or clamp) to the ground terminal on the energizer and the metal loop (or positive clamp) at the top of the tester to the fence/positive terminal. The reading you get tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables. If there is a very low voltage (under 4000v) or no voltage, then the energizer may have a problem. If the voltage is high (greater than 4000v) then the trouble lies with your fence. Most energizers put out between 5000v and 8000v when there is no load (i.e. no fence hooked up).
- Check that the 110v outlet is "live" by using a plug-in drill or test light.
- If the test light works and the energizer does not, call Premier.
If the energizer is faulty and you are using it as a battery unit you need to learn if the battery or the energizer is the problem…
- If it's a 12 volt energizer carry the unit to a nearby vehicle and attach the input cords carefully to the vehicle's battery.
- If the energizer now works, then your fencer's battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
- If the energizer does not work, then you should call Premier re. repairs.
If the fence is at fault, then you must find the fault(s) and fix them. Here's how to start this process:
If you have a Fault Finder you can simply touch the fence with the Fault Finder at various points along the electric fence(s). The Fault Finder will tell you at each point which direction to go in to locate the problem. Move in that direction testing as you go and you will arrive at the problem.
If you lack a Fault Finder…
- Walk or drive along the fence looking for any point in which the energized wires touch the soil, a steel post or a steel wire. On HT wire fences, check the wires at braces to see if they are touching a hot wire. On netting, look for a hot wire touching the metal stake at the bottom of the plastic posts. Also look for damaged insulators.
- If the fence can be separated into several parts (by switches or by disconnecting parts of it), you can locate the problem by beginning at the far end and then progressively turn off or disconnect the sections of fence. When the voltage on the remaining fence rises sharply, you've located the section(s) that's causing the problems.
- The alternative to (2.) is to begin at the fencer and progressively turn on sections of the fence. When the voltage suddenly drops you can assume that the problem is in the section most recently connected.
5-Light Tester:
- Make sure that the probe has not become separated from the black insulated wire.
- Cup your hands around the body of the tester to keep the sun's glare off the lights of the tester.
Ground Rod and Clamp:
If you are not getting a good reading on your fence:
- Make sure to have the ground rod all the way into the ground
- Make sure you have a good connection to the ground rod
- Make sure to have a good connection on the energizer and fence

Chad B from Georgia
This energizer was simple to install. It literally took longer for me to think about the best place to put it than it did to actually install it. Installed the ground rod, attached the unit to the fence, and turned it on. I've never used an electric fence before, but this was so simple to do, I'm sold.
Carolyn L from Georgia
The product was easy to install. Why did you not include a clip for the end of the power wire to connect to the gate. I had to go get a clip to make the gate open more easily vs wiring and unwiring the hot wire.
Gary A from Geargia
Easy to set up. Hooked it to their poultry 48 inch netting and works like a champ. Younger birds have timed the pulses and when frightened can get out but they slip right back through. Bigger birds have tested it and have learned to stay away. Ended up getting the gate later on and do not know why I did not get it at the same time. Can not live without it. Great products.
John R from Colorado
Easy to wire up and install and works like a charm. I'm using it with a racoon net to protect grapes.
Cory P from Indiana
Easy to set up. Easy to hook up. Produced the right voltage. Easy to take down. I highly recommend this product.

Fusion, the joint venture of ABC and Univision, launches later today (Oct. 28), but not in Colorado. You may want to call your local provider…
But first, a clever musical introduction, corporate synergy put to music: Lyrics by 13-time Emmy winner and former "Daily Show" executive producer David Javerbaum (@TheTweetofGod), who now serves as an executive producer for Fusion; music by Adam Schlesinger.) Fusion launches with an interview with President Obama airing during a special edition of "AMERICA with Jorge Ramos."
As the "corporate love child of ABC Disney and Univision," Fuse's song explains, the demographic focus first was young Hispanics but then expanded out to "milennials 18 to 34."
The tuneful intro acknowledges that "maybe we're new to the dizzying landscape of basic cable, but we're out to earn our own seat at the digital top-tier table!"
Clever, but they have yet to make that argument to Comcast, which is not carrying the new network.

Mayor Soglin, Overture Center at odds over funding
Mayor argues that program benefits extend to those outside Madison
MADISON, Wis. — Madison Mayor Paul Soglin said he'll sign off on the city council's budget, but he still disagrees with the decision to give the Overture Center $2 million this session.
"We've got to make some decisions here about the redistribution of our own money," Soglin said Friday.
Overture Center spokesperson Rob Chappel said educational programs for area kids will be the first thing to go if city money is cut.
"Really, the city funding is one piece of the puzzle that includes ticket sales, rental revenue, private donations, many other sources of income," Chappel said. "If any one of those pieces of the puzzle disappears, we have to start looking at programs that don't generate revenue on their own."
Soglin's most recent argument against the city funding Overture is that those educational programs don't just benefit Madison kids. In fact, Soglin said students from nearly 50 schools outside city limits participate in a program that provides discounted tickets, meals, and bus rides for children.
Soglin would like to see the money going toward the Overture Center spent on tax cuts and helping the city's homeless.
"Those two are a higher priority than tens of thousands of kids from schools outside of Madison and Dane County having their lunches and tickets paid for by the city of Madison," Soglin said.
Chappel confirms the educational programs at Overture reach out to kids outside of Madison, but he says he's proud of the facility serving on a regional basis. He said there are at least 19,000 children from Madison benefiting from those programs. Chappel said the center won't apologize for bringing people downtown, and that Soglin was the one to first support their efforts.
"The decision has been made here in Madison that taxpayer money should go to support the arts," Chappel said.
Chappel said the city signed a ten-year structural agreement, committing money to Overture each year. The center's lawyer said that obligation needs to be met. Madison's city attorney has said that agreement is not legally binding.

News from the world of Maths
Henri Poincaré died 100 years ago today. He is most famous for the conjecture (now theorem) which carries his name and which remained unproven for almost 100 years, until Grigori Perelman announced a proof in 2003. But the famous conjecture isn't all there was to Poincaré.
If it looks like the Higgs... and it smells like the Higgs... have we finally found it? Most physicists agree it's safe to say we've finally observed the elusive Higgs boson. And perhaps that is not all....
Greetings from the beautiful city of Krakow, where the 6th European Congress of Mathematics has opened today! Around 1,000 mathematicians, donning hats, fans and flip-flops to resist the incredibly hot weather, have come together here to chat, share and listen to lectures, and Plus will be reporting from the congress all week.
Word on the particle physics street (a very small street) is that tomorrow's announcement from CERN will be very exciting indeed. Find out what all the excitement is about: what the Higgs boson is, what it does and how to hunt for it.
The Plus team's vehicle of choice is the bicycle, so we're particularly pleased about an announcement that hit the news this month: a clever car mirror that eliminates the dreaded blind spot has been given a patent in the US. The mirror was designed by the mathematician Andrew Hicks, of Drexel University, after years of puzzling over the problem.
On Saturday Alan Turing would have celebrated his 100th birthday. In his short life he revolutionised the scientific world and so 2012 has been declared Turing Year to celebrate his life and scientific achievements. Join the celebrations with these events or by browsing through Plus articles.
On a rainy night last month, in an ancient hall down a hidden alleyway in the centre of London, Bernard Silverman, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Home Office, revealed a surprising secret... ancient mathematics is at the heart of a very modern game of hide and seek.
Our planet is shaped by the oceans, the dynamic geology and the changing climate. It teems with life and we, in particular, have a massive impact as we build homes, grow food, travel and feed our ever-hungry need for energy. Mathematics is vital in understanding all of these, which is why 2013 has been declared as the year for the Mathematics of Planet Earth.

Flip side of the digital revolution
April 16, 2018
April 16, 2018
Digital transformation can serve all, but not in its current form. Individuals and wider society are looking to business to set a precedent for what it means to be a responsible, sustainable business, in a world transformed by digital. To remain competitive, companies must address these consequences head on, engendering trust across all stakeholder groups.
It's no coincidence that 6 out of 10 CEOs name business growth as their #1 priority. WHY? Because new business growth no longer happens without digital technologies.
While companies are employing digital technologies to create new revenue streams and improve efficiency, they often fail to think through the unintended consequences of such technologies—the flip side. These consequences are becoming increasingly clear, from cyber-attacks to environmental concerns. But, when company leaders make a conscious choice to proactively address their digital impact, they can reap both progress and positive consumer/citizen reaction.
of CEOs report that their company can accurately quantify the business value of their sustainability initiatives.
of consumers refuse to buy products and services from companies they do not trust.
A company's competitiveness is now heavily linked to how well it addresses its digital flip side. But, a growing number of businesses recognize current consumer and citizen sentiment is less than a ringing endorsement of their progress. Successful leaders will balance transparency, privacy and intellectual property to leverage trust as a competitive advantage. It means having a plan in place to mitigate negative consequences.
To reap the full value from digital responsibility, company leaders need to appropriately guide action and investment. Where do they start?
Those that anticipate and address the flip side early have the potential to earn trust across stakeholder groups, translating that trust into responsible profits and growth for the digital age.

If there are questions about what sustainability is, it is no surprise there are even more questions about how to track it.
For the produce industry, measuring sustainability isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
The Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops is expected to release new information on sustainability metrics soon. With that in mind, California Citrus Mutual President Joel Nelsen said he believes the Sustainability Guide and Self Management tool released by the United Fresh Foundation in June deserves a closer look.
"All of us were in there trying to come up with a template that would work for the entire supply side so we could avoid the plethora of audits, demands, mandates, suggestions that were coming forth," Nelsen said. "Everyone is going through a minimum of three to four food safety audits; you don't need three to four sustainability audits."
Nelsen has heard concerns about the Stewardship Index and other standards, and believes the United Fresh sustainability tool has not yet received enough attention as a possible harmonized approach. "I think it is something the produce industry should grasp and run with," he said.
Nelsen worries metric-based measures of energy or chemical use could become an "easy target" for those who are unaware how the pressures change in producing a commodity.
"Now is the time to make this document relevant again, and it is an opportunity we shouldn't miss," Nelsen said.
United Fresh Foundation's Center for Global Produce Sustainability created the tool. Bayer CropScience provided a four-year grant to create the center. The sustainability tool is available online, free to United Fresh members and $75 for non-members.
Nikki Rodoni, director of sustainability for Gills Onions/Rio Farms and chairwoman of United's Center for Global Produce Sustainability Advisory Board, said she would like a group of growers in different growing regions use the tool for a whole season.
"It is a great tool for people who haven't established a sustainability program," she said. "It is very practice-based and it is a self audit to understand what sustainability looks like."
The tool may eventually use metrics to measure sustainability, but for now will stick to the practices-based approach, said Ray Gilmer, vice president of issues management and communications for United Fresh.
"There is probably room for both, but we don't want to make people think they have to follow a hard metric at this stage," Gilmer said.
Though the Bayer grant has ended, Gilmer said he expects the sustainability tool will be revised.
"We are going to come out version 1.5 maybe next year," he said.
Rodoni said she hopes the current document can be put in digital form so that it can be more easily shared with buyers that might ask for it. Eventually, Rodoni believes metrics might be useful in helping to support the practices-based assessment.
The Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops — launched in 2008 — developed sustainability measures for water, energy, soil and nutrients used in crop production.
"While SISC recognizes the importance of best practices, that is not our focus," Krysten Hommel, spokeswoman for the Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops, said in a e-mail.
The index focuses on input from growers, buyers and public interest to develop and share a data-driven system for measuring on-farm performance, she said.
Hommel said developers of the Stewardship Index believe the industry will adopt a system that offers the supply chain a consistency to assessing and communicating stewardship in the production of specialty crops.
Rodoni said both the United Fresh guide and the Stewardship Index are great tools for the industry.
"There is a need for growers to be able to carry on a conversation with their supply chain partners about what they are doing in terms of improving and tracking sustainability," said John Keeling, chief executive officer of the National Potato Council, Washington, D.C.
"Being able to measure outcomes is a valuable way to communicate if a grower can say he reduced his energy input, for example, by so much over time," he said.
At the same time, practices are the language growers speak.
"In the end, we are going to talk to growers about practices and we are going to want for growers to think through practices and at the same time measure outcomes because that is a real clear way to talk about it," he said. "I don't see it being an either/or thing," he said.
Keeling predicts it will be an evolutionary process.
"We're not going to design the perfect mousetrap on this thing today, tomorrow or into the near future," he said. "I would hope that we take the best of all these options and go together in a form that is most useful to growers and most informative to the supply chain," he said.

Diamond engagement rings sales
Unchanging attribute wedding – diamond engagement rings sales
Wedding rings, diamond engagement rings sales are an invariable attribute of marriage. I must say that at the legislative level, the use of rings is not regulated at all. Sign in the registry office and become a husband and wife is quite possible without exchanging rings.
The sacred tradition of wearing diamond engagement rings sales
The sacred tradition of wearing wedding rings, diamond engagement rings sales, has been around for centuries. And therefore, it is hardly possible to find a couple who would ignore the rite of exchange rings. Most often, the newlyweds exchange rings in the registry office. In more religious families, the priest puts the rings on the fingers of the young during the wedding ceremony in the church. So, diamond engagement rings sales!
Symbol of loyalty and devotion – diamond engagement rings sales
The ring, diamond engagement rings sales, is a symbol of loyalty and devotion to the spouses. It has no end, no beginning, which symbolizes eternity and the strength of family ties. By exchanging rings, the bride and groom give each other a vow of love and loyalty.
From a practical point of view, wedding rings, diamond engagement rings sales, are also very important. They show that the husband and wife have already found each other, that they are happy and do not want love affairs on the side.

Wild about Wolverine — Attaching Adamantium Claws To An X-Man's Skeleton
Wolverine. One of the most powerful, engaging, and controversial characters in the Marvel Universe. Or in any comics universe, really. He's got some amazing characteristics, powers and abilities. Chief among those are Wolverine's amazing adamantium claws. They are unbreakable and sharp as a Samurai's katana. They were grafted to Wolverine's skeleton, we are told. But how do they stay in there?
See, I started reading about Wolverine in the mid 1970s, shortly after his debut in The Incredible Hulk. It was around the same time that I became captivated by another technical marvel – The Six Million Dollar Man. Steve Austin didn't have swords grafted to his arms, but he did have some fancy technology implanted and imbedded inside his body. Again, how did that bionic arm stay on and the bionic stuff in the arm (and elsewhere) stay connected to his skeleton?
Of course all these implants did all kinds of cool stuff. Stuff like cutting and blocking and lifting. And I was (and am) impressed by that for sure. But the nascent scientist in me was amazed at what held it all in. Why didn't Wolverine's claws come right off the bones in his forearms when he tried to cut through something? And, for those anatomy aficionados in the crowd, why don't the claws flip over when his radius move as he turns his wrist? While I can't provide an answer to the last question, science continues to provide some clues to the former.
Once again it's tissue engineering and materials science to the rescue. I'm fascinated by these related branches of biomedical engineering. Seriously. If I wasn't already committed to this whole neuroscience brain-and-behaviour gig I'd be all over biomedical engineering. And some recent discoveries in this field related to bone implants have significant implications for how we might really attach adamantium to bone. After we discover adamantium, of course. (This is your cue, metallurgical engineers. In the words of Stan Lee–Excelsior!)
So, while they weren't busy discovering adamantium, researchers at M.I.T. (and friends) were busy discovering how to improve the fidelity, stability, and viability of making attachments to bone. And, in one of those amazingly fitting juxtapositions that science and life produce, it involves a process very much akin to and relevant for costumed superheroes–superglue.
It gets even better, though. That's because they were trying to improve the strength of bone connection to implanted devices especially those made from titanium. The coolest element this side of adamantium and vibranium. Titanium is commonly used in the manufacture of joint replacements, most notably the hip. Titanium also gets extra cool kudos by virtue of being a real element.
What this team discovered was that they could stimulate better growth between bone and titanium by using a special superglue adhesive in rats. This adhesive consisted of multilayers of ceramics and nanolayers of polymers mixed up with protein. This super-slurry mix included signaling molecules that bone would normally detect as bone. Since bone likes to grow back to itself, the basic concept was to trick the body into thinking the titanium implant was bone (or at least bone-like).
This was accomplished by making many, many, ultra-thin layers that then worked like superglue to help get bone cells to grow together. This worked much better than conventional bone cement that has a more brittle and less stable outcome. It's kind of like really good double-sided tape. Except it's biological tape that grows both ways and has bone growth proteins (for those keeping score it's osteoinductive bone morphogenetic protein–2, or BMP-2 for short) that help stimulate this growth.
I love this study. Like much of the best science it's simple and elegant. Lead author Nisarg Shah and colleagues made all kinds of advanced measures (like regulatory hormone release and stem cell differentiation) on how well implants adhered to bone using this new procedure. But some of the measures were also very simple and included how much force was required to pull the implants out when different adhesives were used. The bottom line is that this new approach seems to be a great improvement on the old bone cement model. This is a very real world concern for joint replacements such as hip and knee in humans.
This study using a rodent model is a fantastic proof of principle that dramatic improvements in the fidelity and stability of implanted devices in humans is on the horizon. Human trials are planned next and will the next test of this approach. We really are on the road that will take us to more stable implants of many devices.
We're currently shooting from the hip, but can claws really be that far away?

"Book of Mormon," after record-breaking run, to return to Denver in 2015
After breaking records during its second national tour stop in Denver, "The Books of Mormon" the Tony-winning, blasphemously joyous musical — or is that joyously blasphemous musical? — has fresh dates for 2015, Denver Center Attractions announced Tuesday.
Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone's irreverent wonder about two young men from the Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints who travel to Uganda for their mission is slated for the Ellie Caulkins Opera House Aug. 11 through Sept. 13.

The Brewers finished off a sweep of the Mets yesterday thanks to an excellent outing by Yovani Gallardo, and now its on to Pittsburgh where the Brewers play a twi-night doubleheader. The late game is a makeup of a game postponed in April.
Game 1 will feature Chris Narveson's return from a brief DL stint with a thumb injury. He'll go against Brewers' nemesis Jeff Karstens, whose 2009 spat with Ryan Braun you might recall. Its worth noting that Karstens has never won a game against the Brewers, while Narveson is 3-0 career against the Pirates.
Zack Greinke gets the ball in game 2 against Pirates reliever-turned-starter Brad Lincoln. Lincoln will definitely be on a pitch count in only his second start of the season. Lincoln's first start of the year was back in July, and it was quality (6 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 3 BB). In his career versus the Brewers (8.1 IP), Lincoln has a 10.80 ERA with 4 strikeouts.
Doubleheaders haven't been kind to the Brewers this year. I've heard that doubleheaders are often swept, and while I have no stats to back that up, it would be true in the Brewers' case. The team has played two doubleheaders this year and has been swept in both: by Washington in mid-April and by Atlanta in early May. Both occurred on the road.

The "S-E-C!" chant reached a new level of insufferable during Saturday's game between Alabama and Michigan that didn't previously seem possible.
At just under five minutes to go in the second quarter, Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson threw an ill-advised pass in the shadow of his own end zone to Tide linebacker C.J. Mosley. In fairness to Robinson, Mosley was wide open. But it didn't matter, Moseley ran 16 yards with the ball for a touchdown. It was the tail end of a 31-point run by Alabama that, when clocked continuously, lasted just over a quarter's worth of game time.
Just like that, the game felt over. It wasn't, of course. Eighth-ranked Michigan would mount a couple of scoring drives before eventually falling to No. 2 Alabama 41-14, but the impression was set early.
That's when the chant started booming through Cowboys Stadium, right after a PAT put Alabama up 31-0.
I'd like to think that this game between two storied programs was just a game between two storied programs. I'd like to think that Alabama is just a top-notch program that can plug in any player at any position and have success against whatever competition it faces. I'd like to think that Nick Saban is just one of the best coaches in college football because of his ability to take away what other teams do well.
Individually, those are all true statements, but collectively they're not reality. Michigan-Alabama was more than just a game. It was an opportunity to dethrone the SEC by knocking off the defending BCS champion in prime time on national TV — even if it was solely to show that, yes, football's elite can be beaten one time out of 100, a la "Little Giants." This country has SEC fatigue, and why wouldn't it? Six straight BCS championships is a lot to have shoved in your face all the time.
Take No. 14 Clemson's 26-19 win tonight over Auburn in Atlanta for example. Aubie may be the fourth or fifth-best team in the SEC West, but that's not what people were talking about. Clemson beat an SEC team, so it's labeled as a statement win. No other conference has that kind of rapport.
So when a crowd of crimson starts chanting "S-E-C!", there's nothing that can be done to stop it because no team's shown it can on the field when it matters most.
Michigan tried, but the irony is that it was Alabama's physicality, not necessarily speed, that was the separating factor. The Wolverines have speed too. Robinson had some signature open field runs on a couple of occasions, and Michigan's receivers got behind coverage from time to time. But Robinson can't throw the ball well enough to keep most opponents on their heels consistently and no one's going to run sideline to sideline against Alabama successfully.
There's nothing too complicated about it: Alabama was the better team with a favorable matchup. It doesn't guarantee that one's going to be more successful than the other going forward, but the storyline of the Big Ten vs. SEC is always a compelling one, so that's what it was about tonight.
And the SEC won. Again.
Eventually, an SEC team will lose a Cowboys Classic or championship game. It has to happen. When that day comes, it'll feel like a national holiday to everyone outside that part of the country.
Until then, all any of us can do is shrug our shoulders when the chant starts up again.

OK, I have one not really an issue, but some annoyance. I have set my settings to recive a daily email from all my subscribed threads. This used to come through round about 7 AM every morning. This was quite nice as I could see what was going on directly from my emails. Since the forum change, this has changed to 9 AM. By the time I get the emails now, I already know what was said and done, as I logged into CG before 9 AM.
Is there some new setting that causes this?
Is someone still looking at the "Search" issue? I just did an "Advanced Search" on my own user name, and only one result came up: a thread from back in 2003.
Here's a screenshot:
Please let me know. I often search through my old posts, to answer common questions.

I didn't forget it, but not being an admin/mod I'm not making any experiments in that direction unless I see some indication that it might have been fixed.
The recent test results you present considerably irritate me though: While it seems that earlier searches simply didn't look back further than the point of the update, which looks quite comprehensible, your new results seem to indicate that now the search may or may not go beyond the point of the update, but doesn't find all the posts that are there. Now that doesn't seem to resemble any comprehensible (to me) logical pattern at all...
[...] I often search through my old posts, to answer common questions.
I do that myself too (at least when the search feature works), but perhaps the negative impact on users simply looking for answers effectively is even stronger.
BTW: I didn't mention that yet since it looked so obvious to me that it couldn't have been overlooked, but the "views" counting obviously is also broken: Any thread started after the update has a "views" count exactly equal to the number of replies plus one (IOW the total number of posts in the thread). In particular regarding the thread we're in right here this is plain absurd. This also applies to the download count of attachments. I tried it with an older thread in the Testing Area that had an attachment, and the download count didn't move a bit when I downloaded the attachment. (I find that particularly painful as a few of my own favorite uploads were just about to cross the 100 downloads boundary... )

The search indexes are being rebuilt. This ia very, very big forum and that rebuilding takes a long, long time . It has actually ran for a large numer of ours already and will be continued over the next few days. We are trying to run the rebuild at times when the forum isnt' the busiest to try to keep the drain on it the lowest. When I'm told the rebuilding is totally ccomplete, I'll let yuo know.
As to the views counts. I'll have to ahve someoen look into that....

That is a bug... The Rating feature was disabled long long time ago for those forums. So nobody could see them.

Lol .. Okay .. I knew they were disabled looooooonnnnggggg ago, but since becoming a mod, i never checked if it was still MIA in those forums or if as a mod i still saw them...
Will add as a issue in the other thread..
That's what I'm trying to say. Nobody, not even mods could see those features. I didn't see them in there. If those buttons are back now, then it is a bug now.
Just noted that the "Before you post" announcement isn't very noticeable in the new layout. Maybe make it bright yellow or green, flashing and three times as big. Lots of new people seem to miss it.

Cystic fibrosis is a chronic and progressive disease, usually
diagnosed in childhood, that causes mucus to become thick and sticky. The mucus
builds up and clogs passages in the lungs, pancreas, and many other organs in
the body.
Early symptoms of cystic fibrosis include abnormally salty sweat or
skin and a failure to thrive, which includes a poor appetite, lack of energy,
and weight loss during infancy. Some babies who have cystic fibrosis are born
with a blocked small intestine. Later symptoms include coughing up mucus and a
lack of energy. Adults who have cystic fibrosis may have fertility
There is no cure for cystic fibrosis. Management of the disease
varies from person to person and generally focuses on treating respiratory and
digestive problems to prevent infection and other complications. Treatment
usually involves a combination of medicines and home treatment methods, such as
respiratory and nutritional therapies.

"I gave them our standard talk about Paul Revere…"
From Episcopal Café, the Rev. Stephen T. Ayres of Old North Church shares his side of the Sarah Palin/Paul Revere kerfuffle. After all, he showed the former governor and her family through the church shortly before she told television cameras what she'd take away from her visit to Boston.
I gave them our standard talk about Paul Revere and the two men who hung the lanterns in the steeple, Robert Newman and John Pulling. I added a bit about the debate between John Hancock and Sam Adams after they received the warning from Revere . . . I did mention that Revere was arrested by British troops and led back to Lexington, warning those British troops that the minutemen had been alerted.Ha! I guessed that Revere's adolescent bell-ringing had something to do with it.
After the introductory talk, we climbed up to the bell ringing chamber, where I talked about how Paul Revere how founded our bell ringing guild in 1750 as a teenager. Governor Palin was particularly interested to see a copy of the original bell ringing contract between Paul Revere and his friends and the rector of Old North, Dr. [Timothy] Cutler. The contract portrays a group of teenagers using democratic principles to organize their bell ringing guild.
I was surprised and bemused when the video of Governor Palin's impromptu history quiz went viral the next day. I knew where all the factoids she cited came from and take responsibility for putting them in her head. I will not take the blame for the odd order those factoids came out. Perhaps it was too much information in too short a period of time to digest properly. Maybe if we climbed to the top of the steeple and viewed the lanterns, the governor wouldn't have focused on the bells. Who knows? . . .Part of the answer is the power of celebrity, of course. The same social force that got Palin and her family a special tour of Old North by the minister himself after the National Park Service had brought over security dogs, as Ayres describes at the start of his essay. (Rep. Earl Blumenauer has queried that public expense.) The same force that gave rise to a Palin impersonator outside. It's a weird phenomenon, but one that acts on nearly all of us.
I am somewhat saddened by what passes for news and for fact these days. We can laugh at Governor Palin, who may not have gotten all her facts wrong, but certainly didn't get them all straight. But what does this story, with its incredible legs, say about the rest of us? Why was such a large media contingent following the governor in the first place, particularly when many of them were publicly complaining that the trip was not newsworthy?
Another part of the answer is the modern American right's attempt to claim exclusive ownership of the country's founding period and legacy. A lot of people get the details of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution mixed up. But when Herman Cain does so while standing for the Republican nomination for President, and while acting more-knowledgeable-and-patriotic-than-thou, that flub is bound to mean more to the public.

An article in the October 2006 issue of BioScience, the monthly journal of the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), describes evidence that conflict between male and female shorebirds over which member of a breeding pair will raise their young has had a profound influence on the evolution of breeding systems in these birds. The article, by Tams Szlely, Gavin H. Thomas, and Innes C. Cuthill, likens the conflict to a tug-of-war played out over evolutionary time.
Shorebirds have varied breeding systems. Females care for the young in some species, males do in others, and in many, the chore is shared. In the Kentish plover, which the authors studied in detail, either the male or the female in a pair may desert, leaving the other partner with the task of raising the young alone.
The authors, at the University of Bath, Imperial College, London, and the University of Bristol, all in the United Kingdom, used a combination of experiments and mathematical modeling to analyze the decisions that Kentish plovers make while raising their chicks. Modeling suggested a rationale for the finding that females are more likely to desert if there are local unpaired males: that tendency emerged as a strategy likely to persist in evolution. Further analyses used molecular and other data to examine the evolution of breeding systems in a variety of shorebirds. These studies suggested that in species with chicks that need a lot of parental care, cooperative rearing is more likely to persist. In species with young that become independent early, either males or females are likely to desert their partners.

Happy Ending Massage - It Has a Warm and Sensual Atmosphere
A happy ending massage has a romantic feel to it, and that is why some people find them so erotic. And who doesn't want to experience sensual pleasure?
Happy endings massages can be performed by a masseuse or masseur or even on the client himself. The difference between the two is in the fact that the masseuse performs the happy ending massage with other clients as well as in front of the client. But the moment that you feel up to the challenge, why not join the rest of the world in loving a happy ending massage!
So what is the difference between a happy ending massage and a regular sensual massage? Well, aside from the fact that this type of massages is done by the same masseuse with other clients, it is the reason why this type of massages have a warm and sensual atmosphere.
Once the masseuse begins her work, she will start giving you a special love caresses to your body. This is a service that is done with a long lasting memory in mind. You may feel some tension in the moment, but you should not worry because she will release this tension in the next moment.
After being given special love caresses, the masseuse will then gently rock your body and gently stimulate you with some light touching, so that you know what the next steps would be. For instance, if you are stressed out about your last few dates, this massage would be the right choice for you!
The work of the masseuse does not end here however, as she would continue to give you the same massage at another position, with the intention that the next move would be to give you more love caresses. It is all done with love and care.
Althoughthe above description may be the beginning of your journey into a happy endings massage, there are some techniques that are included in the routine. These techniques are designed to help you enjoy the massage and give you an ideal mental and physical experience. And that is why this type of massage is becoming so popular nowadays.
What are these different things that make the ritual of this kind of massage so appealing? What do you need to understand about the massage in order to enjoy it?
The basic thing that you need to understand about a happy ending massage is that it's not about the pleasurable sensations that you feel but more about relaxing and bonding with the masseuse. It's about making yourself comfortable and relaxed and taking a break from the pressures of everyday life. In other words, a happy ending massage is the best remedy for stress and anxiety.
But just like anything else in life, there is a deeper purpose to it all, and that is something that you should never forget. It is more than just a service for the customer, but more about creating a connection with the masseuse. That is why the masseuse is a crucial part of the whole process.
There are different kinds of happy endings massages that are popular today. They come in the form of simple massages and they also include sensual deep-tissue treatments. Each one of them has its own speciality, as you would be able to experience different things at a happy ending massage.
All in all, you will never get bored of these services and you will surely look forward to their arrival every day. And after all, it is still better to be stimulated every once in a while than never to experience sexual pleasure again!

I had the opportunity to review a pair of Dearfoams slippers. I choose the DF723 Thong Slippers in Chino... and I LOVE them! These are seriously the most comfortable slippers I have ever owned. They are extremely soft and well made. The moment I put them on, I feel relaxed.
Here is the product description:

Your feet will love the plush, full quarter inch of authentic Dearfoams foam, with extra foam in the heel for exceptional comfort where you need it most. And they'll be simply spoiled by the softness of the extra long terry fibers. The outsoles of these slippers have been newly designed with a shaped arch and heel area to fit more naturally with the contours of your foot and are crafted from molded TPR for skid and abrasion resistance. Care instructions: To keep these Dearfoams thong women's slippers clean, gentle machine wash cold and air dry."

I made these delicious treats almost two months ago for a picnic I had in Central Park. It was a "going away for the summer" gathering I had. I brought my fancy camera and started snapping photos before people ate them all and then realized I forgot to put my camera card back in my camera! So, I tried to grab some photos via my iPhone, but I started eating these instead of concentrating on the pictures.
(iPhone Photo from Picnic)
Thankfully, I saved a couple at my house and took more photos later.
Fun thing about the picnic is that one of my friends is the sister of the gal who writes the blog I got this recipe from. How fun is that?
And a fun thing about this recipe is that it was my first time using a candy thermometer. Super fun!
(Hmmmm...how many times can I use the word fun in this post? Fun fun fun!)
Buttermilk Bacon Pralines (from Framed Cooks)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon orange zest (Erika's Extras: I used a little more orange zest and it was strong, but yummy!)
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1. In a heavy deep saucepan, combine the sugars, the buttermilk, corn syrup, baking soda and salt. Cook slowly over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until the mixture reaches 235 on a candy thermometer.2. Remove from heat and add butter, vanilla, pecans, orange zest and bacon and beat with a wooden spoon until creamy. Be very careful - this stuff is HOT.3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a silicone mat or buttered parchment paper. Let stand for 30 minutes or until cool and firm.
Bake well and prosper!

UH Manoa College of Education graduate selected as Outstanding Early Childhood PractitionerUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
College of Education
HONOLULU - Dr. Jonathan Gillentine, who earned both his MEd in Special Education and PhD in Curriculum Studies from the College of Education at UH Mānoa, was presented with the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators' Outstanding Early Childhood Practitioner Award in November. The award is designed to recognize meritorious leadership and professionalism in preservice and inservice early childhood teacher education through demonstrated excellence in teaching practice and support of teacher education.
"I told my team members that this is a tribute to them, not just me. Our work with teacher candidates is what led to the nomination," Gillentine said. "This experience has reminded me how fortunate I am to know so many folks who care about children and learning." Since 1983, he has mentored 30 teachers who were newly placed in special education positions.
"Jonathan is an exceptional early childhood educator who combines a high level of skill as a preschool teacher with interest in and commitment to helping others learn to teach," said Stephanie Feeney, College of Education professor and former advisor to Gillentine (pictured together).
Gillentine has been a special education teacher for the last 26 years. Since 1994, he has taught in the preschool inclusion classroom at Rev. Benjamin Parker School. He is a product of Hawaiʻi's public school system, having attended Pearl City Highlands Elementary and Highlands Intermediate Schools and graduated from Waipahu High School.
His dissertation research was published in the Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education earlier this year. He also created and facilitated two courses for the DOE's Professional Development & Educational Research Institute. Since 2004, Gillentine has served on the Hawaiʻi Teacher Standards Board (HTSB) and was appointed to the Board of Examiners of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education in 2006.
Sharon Mahoe, Executive Director of the HTSB, said, "I am thrilled for Jonathan because he deserves this recognition for his teaching skills and knowledge and for his continual contributions to the profession. We are proud and lucky to have him as a fellow teacher."

Synergy Organic Size Chart
About Synergy Organic
The seeds of Synergy were planted in 1993, by Kate Fisher, when she set off for Nepal and India with adventure in her eyes. In the midst of her extensive travels in Asia she started buying textiles and clothing that she sold upon her return home. A business was born. Synergy was created in the spirit of adventure and with the vision of being a synergy of both Eastern and Western design influences.
Synergy makes clothing that combines sustainability, with modern yet timeless design. We strive to make clothing that looks good, and is also gentle on the Earth. We predominantly work with organic cotton from India, that is dyed with low impact dyes. Our clothing is hand made in Nepal, according to fair trade practices, verified by our long-term relationships with our manufacturers and our frequent trips to Nepal.
Synergy looks to the world around in its approach to design, taking inspiration from both the natural and urban landscapes, in addition to modern and ancient cultural influences. We specialize in making clothing with touches of graphic details such as hand-stitched applique work and water-based screen prints. It is our goal to make women look and feel good when they wear our clothing, while feeling good about the way it was made. We want our clothing to be easy to wear, flatter a woman's body, and to highlight the woman wearing our clothing.

During the week, you know our life is no mystery: we are here working hard to make you happier and your horse healthier. But what do we do on the weekend, you ask? The mystery is revealed! Read about what SmartPakers did this past week and see if any of our adventures sound similar to yours…
I competed my horse Cooper in a USHJA National Hunter Derby at the Head of the Bay Classic horse show. Cooper mostly does the adult equitation but has shown he really likes the hunter derbies as well! It was a really great day for team Renee & Cooper. The course was really fun, had some big jumps and really highlighted a horse with a nice flowing pace. Cooper jumped amazing and we received a score of 90 in the first round! That is the first time I've ever scored a 90, it was incredibly exciting. I was so proud of Cooper! We ended up finishing in 2nd place – yay! The other fun part was that 3 other people from my barn also ribboned. It's great to get to show with your friends and it's also really funny to celebrate success together. – Renee P., Merchandising
This weekend my new horse Dez arrived from Pennsylvania! He's a 5 yr old 16.3h OTTB and sweet as can be!
He settled right in as soon as he realized that his new barn also had hay and grain – which is all over his cute little face in this picture. – Lara F., Merchandising
This weekend was a busy one! It started off Friday night with an away game for the Gladiators. They beat the Metrowest Cowboys 21-18, so the weekend was off to a good start. Saturday morning I headed out to Burrage Pond with fellow SmartPaker Elizabeth, our friend Lauren, and their horses Sam and Cupid. I played photographer and snapped some cool shots of the girls riding through the tall grass, as well as got a good cardio workout keeping up with the horses! Later Saturday I sold the rest of our bearded dragon babies that started hatching in May, so the reptile count at our house is back under control. No sooner were those babies out the door, did I find a baby bird in our yard. His parents dutifully flew down to where he was and fed him, but each time I walked near him he'd open his mouth and cry at me for food – (I may have obliged and given him a mealworm…). The rest of Saturday was spent getting the house and yard ready for Matt's birthday party on Sunday. I made a mint chocolate chip cake and we celebrated with friends and family all day Sunday. It was so much fun that I'm considering switching my wintery, November birthday to sometime in August, just as an excuse to have another cookout – Michelle M., Customer Care
To prepare our daughter for the world of Geekdom, we took her to the Boston Comic Con. "Hey mom, those light sabers are pretty cool!". Little known fact, our own Matt Smith is Jabba. – Kate C., IT
I arrived an hour before my lesson yesterday (which turned out to be an hour and a half private – a bit sore today) to enjoy my horse doing his favorite thing in the world – GRAZING! He loves his new Crusader Fly Mask, with ears of course, because it has HIS NAME on it thanks to the fabulous embroidery team at SmartPak.
(Psst…I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention to my Barn Manager that somehow Excel's grazing muzzle came off for about 20 minutes during our time together – thanks 🙂 ) – Susan T., Barn Marketing
This weekend SmartPaker Casey and I built a trail course to help our young horses get used to new obstacles! As you can see, they were both awesome at standing on tarps and bridges. 🙂 – Jessica N., Marketing
WELCOME NOAH ROBERT SCOTT ! On Saturday August 3rd we got a new addition to our family! My cousins had their 2nd child, a son Noah. He was born at 6:49pm, weighs 9 lbs and is 51 cm long. Baby and family are doing well, and his older sister Olivia (3 yrs old) was instantly in love with her new baby brother and being a great big sister. I am coming to visit them on Tuesday and cannot wait to meet him !!! 🙂 – Brittany C., Creative
Last weekend my Barn Manager came up with a brilliant idea… epic trail ride. This means that almost every horse in our barn (and two additional friends) were going to go out on the trails that are adjacent to our property. So a total of 11 horses went on this trail ride (which is usually a recipe for disaster) but everyone as fabulous. We went down to a pond and since it wasn't your typical beach day we pretty much had the beach to ourselves! Since the water was a little choppy everyone was a bit hesitant, except for my horse Eclipse. He pretty much leaped at the opportunity to head into the water, thus prompting almost everyone else to as well! Eclipse had a great time in the water and everyone was very well behaved on the way home. Sunday was also fairly eventful my husband's family has a large family reunion that we attended. It was a great time I mostly enjoyed spending the time with my niece and nephews but it is always great to see extended family. – Whitney F., Customer Care
I had a very busy weekend that included a beach day, a concert in Boston, and of course, time at the barn. My boyfriend had never been on a horse before and decided he wanted to give it a try, so I put him on my trusty mare Ax. He did a great job and had progressed to trotting by the end of the ride. I love having such an easygoing horse! – Emily D., Finance
Having been driven away by deer flies the last few (HOT) weeks, I finally made it back out on the trails this weekend. My barn-mate and I of course picked the one hour of rain but to be honest, it felt pretty good (and kept the bugs away). The horses enjoyed a chance to stretch their legs and fellow SmartPaker Michelle joined us on foot, and with a camera. Sunday I took some friends up to Salem, MA for a fun afternoon of historical sites and seaside fare. We visited the House of Seven Gables, and I fulfilled a lifelong wish to be a figurehead. – Elizabeth R., Customer Care
How to enjoy yourself at the Portuguese Feast in New Bedford, MA:
Step 1: Take 3lbs of beef tips and marinate in Madeira wine.
Step 2: Marinate yourself in your drink of choice
Step 3: Skewer, heat, rotate, rotate, rotate…
Step 4: Add some live entertainment (7 day weekend – check 'em out!)
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat!
-Jon D., IT
"Newmie-Poo" had a great weekend, winning our Second Level Test Three class and our first Dover Medal in the process. We even got an "8" for our final halt! Thanks to Fields and Fences for hosting a fantastic show! – Dr. Lydia G., Staff Veterinarian
