How can Engine Hover Thrust be more than Military Thrust?
Is more fuel dumped into afterburner when hover?
Edit: Thanks for splitting this post. Allow me to add the numbers for this question here.
Maximum Thrust (in pounds): 43,000
Military Thrust (in pounds): 28,000
Hover Thrust (in pounds): 39,400
Main Engine: 15,700
Lift Fan: 20,000
Roll Post: 3,700

The hover thrust includes the thrust produced by the lift fan which is not used while in forward flight.

a better, thermodynamic, question is how does an engine that can only make 28,000 lbs of thrust have 13,000 lbs of that removed through venting and gearing and turn the 13,000 lost into a 12,000 (or 25,000 depending on viewpoint) gain?

When the fan is engaged the combination essentially becomes a high bypass ratio turbofan, improving its efficiency. That's why it can produce about the same thrust as in AB with a much lower SFC. TEG is the expert though, so you should get his take.

We've been down this road before.
That_Engine_Guy wrote:
So we'll split this up real quick; first the F135-PW-600 (STOVL sub-type) Figures (
in bold
) from PW's F135 site used for discussion:
Maximum Thrust (in pounds): 43,000 / (191.3 kN)
This is with nozzle straight in conventional flight mode, FULL augmentation available to the pilot, engine operates like the -100/-400
Intermediate Thrust (in pounds): 28,000 / (128.1 kN)
You'll notice this is the same for all variants in conventional flight, but will change when the LiftFan is engaged as some of the 'thrust' is converted to HP to drive the LiftFan. Some thrust is also lost by bending the exhaust; the flow is slowed in the bend, reducing it's velocity. This is why the 'Main Engine' thrust is lower in a hover or in STO mode. More details to come.
Short Takeoff Thrust: 38,100
(169.5 kN)
This is with nozzle swiveled down approximately 45% (or so) and LiftFan engaged. NO augmentation available as nozzle is 'bent'. Thrust from LiftFan directed down/rearward as commanded through vanes.
Hover Thrust: 39,400 / (175.3 kN)
(total vertical thrust of all components breaks down as follows)
Main Engine: 15,700
(thrust from rear nozzle, 90* bend, HP extracted for LiftFan, provides 'aft post' of thrust.)
Lift Fan: 20,000
(LiftFan pulls HP from gas-stream via the Low Pressure turbine, provides 'front post' of thrust)
Roll Post: 3,700
(Ducts on sides of engine, keep aircraft 'balanced' on front/rear posts)
Bypass Ratio
Conventional: 0.56
Powered Lift: 0.51
Overall Pressure Ratio
Conventional: 28
Powered Lift: 29
(You may notice BPR/OPR are different for the -600, but this is mostly done by the operating mode of the engine, all 3 variants are identical until the extra parts are installed on the -600. Drive shaft, 3 Bearing Swivel Nozzle, and Roll Posts.)
The F135-PW-600's FADECs will shift the motor's operating parameters, (vane positions, pressure ratio, fuel flow, nozzle ratio, etc) to provide extra 'power' to spin up the LiftFan during STO or VL situations. When you extract additional power from the engine's exhaust gasses for the LiftFan when engaged to the Low Pressure Turbine, the engine must compensate. You can't get rotational energy for the extra fan without giving up some thrust from the main engine. 'Bleeding' high pressure air from the core compressor will also lower the engine's power; not as much air is being moved through the combustion chamber, or out the rear nozzle.
Say you extracted 100% of the 'power' from the exhaust gasses of a turbine engine, you'd have a turboshaft engine that makes HP not Thrust. All the power from the hot gas is taken up by the turbine, the result is a hot breeze from the exhaust but no 'push'. The 'push' was internal against the turbine blades (sometimes called buckets) and converted into rotational HP to drive something else (like a prop, rotor-head, or transmission). You may notice in a high by-pass ratio engine, there are many low pressure turbines needed to extract LOTS of HP to turn that huge fan up front. As a result the fan of such engines give most the thrust, and the core's thrust is limited due to the turbine extracting so much power from the exhaust stream.
Now on to the F135-PW-100/-400
Maximum Thrust (in pounds): 43,000 / (191.3 kN)
You'll notice this is the same for all variants in conventional flight
Intermediate Thrust (in pounds): 28,000 / (128.1 kN)
You'll notice this is the same for all variants in conventional flight, but will change when the LiftFan is engaged as some of the 'thrust' is converted to HP to drive the LiftFan. Some thrust is also lost by bending the exhaust; the flow is slowed in the bend, reducing it's velocity. This is why the 'Main Engine' thrust is lower in a hover or in STO mode.
Bypass Ratio: 0.57
Overall Pressure Ratio: 28
Now the F135-PW-100/-400 are basic jet engines, augmented low by-pass ratio turbofans. Their thrust is 'conventional'. The only major difference would be the -400 having been 'Navalized' for salt water corrosion resistance. It may use different materials or have special coatings to prevent ocean going corrosion.
beepa wrote:
How will the change from free flow exhaust to a restriction (swivel outlet) affect the power output/back pressure?
To answer this directly, it's not the nozzle that's pulling power as much as a turbine that is extracting HP and reducing exhaust gas velocity from the core of the engine. The Roll Posts are also 'bleeding' air from the core. The nozzle bend will reduce velocity somewhat, and yes that will reduce thrust some too. All add up to change the 'dry thrust' of the 'main engine' as the -600 uses STO or VL mode.
beepa wrote:
In full dry thrust the nozzle is 'narrow', does the swivel/bend act in a similar way so the nozzle remains 'open' to produce similar power outputs???
Yes the engine can compensate some, but changing the back-pressure too much (more or less) will affect the stall margin of the engine's fan. The Roll Post operation also adds stress to the engine and would also affect stall margin. The engine will use the methods mentioned above to compensate for the additional loads during STOVL operation.
Clear as mud?

Thanks for nice explanation.
I think I can take it this way, engaging the lift fan won't generate more horse power, but as the velocity of exhaust gas and lift fan are lower in this mode, the combined hover force is higher.

Engaging the lift fan does make the engine work harder and the engine's controls are programmed to compensate and work for STOVL operation.
By removing energy from the exhaust with the added turbine draw (it's not free-wheeling anymore), you loose some thrust, by bleeding air from the compressor for the roll-posts you loose some thrust, by bending the exhaust you loose some thrust, so the FADEC changes parameters in the engine to compensate; it runs hotter, operates the main engine nozzle differently to maintain the pressure ratio, the compressor variable vanes will likely react as well to change the compression ratio in the high and/or low speed compressors. Not to mention additional inlets open to allow a greater air flow into the main engine at lower forward flight speeds.
Meanwhile the LiftFan takes it's consumed thrust in the form of horsepower and converts it back into thrust. The LiftFan has a very good pressure ratio (as fans go), and is counter rotating, making it very efficient.
So while the main engine makes a less thrust, that thrust is more than made up for by the LiftFan and the Roll-Posts bleeding high-pressure air from the compressor through their own nozzles under the wings.
Remember the two main 'thrust-posts' must balance out the aircraft. Too much thrust from the main engine nozzle, and the aircraft will pitch forward. To much LiftFan thrust and the aircraft will pitch back. This is why the claims of more power are mute in this mode of flight. Even IF the main engine could make additional thrust, without an equal amount increase from the LiftFan (which is state-of-the-art-efficiency already...) the aircraft would not be able to utilize the additional power.
So while the engine compensates for the power shifts internally, it also has to work in concert with the flight control computers to keep the aircraft balanced on 3 axis.

Put in terms of basic physics, thrust is force, while the limiting factor of the engine is mostly power. You can increase force while keeping power constant by increasing the reaction mass while reducing it's velocity, which is effectively what engaging the lift fan does.
Though I can't hope to match TEG on the specifics of exactly how it does that.

My favorite way to express it is that adding another fan is like making the main fan bigger, which means increasing the amount of air being pushed and the bypass ratio. That way, it's related to the choices made in engine types & sizes for different kinds of planes, and to a major limiting factor for Harriers, and to the tricks up the sleeves of the engines in Blackbirds and YF-23s.

As a non-engineer, I like to think of it as different gears in a transmission. Different ratios for different speeds. You can move a small amount of air quickly (low-bypass) for high speeds (F-22), or a large amount of of air slowly (high-bypass) for more efficient cruise speeds (F-35). Generally, moving larger masses of air gets you more mechanical advantage for a given amount of energy (like using 1st gear to pull something heavy). The most extreme aircraft example of this is found in helicopters. A loaded CH-53 weighs over 40,000lbs, but it's engines wouldn't produce anywhere near that amount of thrust if they were decoupled from the gearbox with their exhausts pointed at the ground. The F-35's lift-fan doesn't move air anywhere near as fast as a jet engine, but it moves a lot more of it, giving it the mechanical advantage to hold the plane up even though basic engine thrust is less than the plane's weight.
BTW I probably just made a fool of myself, so listen to the real engineers if they don't like what I said.

Canadian Dollar | ↔ | Pakistani Rupee |
USD-CAD touched 1.0313 highs after the cool Canadian CPI data, extinguishing barrier options at the figure in the process. The rebound in oil and equity prices slowed USD-CAD's rise, though bidding interest was reported from 1.0300 to 1.0270, which limited the pullback to near 1.0270 into the London close.

Crebbin finishes 25-year coaching career
By JIM WALLER
Whidbey News Times Sports editor
November 9, 2012 · Updated 7:57 AM
Coupeville High School volleyball coach Toni Crebbin resigned at the conclusion of this season after a 25-year coaching career.
She said it is time for a break. Over that span she took time off from work but not from coaching.
Now, she said, it's time to be a mom and "enjoy volleyball from the stands."
Her coaching journey began in 1987-88 at Oregon State University. After completing her eligibility as a softball player for the Beavers, she served as an assistant coach her fifth year in college while finishing up her degree.
She married Mike Crebbin, the current Oak Harbor High School wrestling coach, in 1988 and moved to Ridgecrest, Calif., where she coached softball for four years and volleyball for one.
The Crebbins moved to Whidbey Island in August of 1992, and Toni started her Coupeville volleyball stint in the fall of 1993 as the assistant coach. She took over the program in 2003.
Even pregnancy couldn't keep her off the sidelines. She didn't work for a year, but coached, while having son Kellen.
She added, "I even coached when I was full-term with Joshua (her second son). I had him Sept. 8, took two weeks off, then hauled him to every practice and game!"
She also served as the assistant Coupeville softball coach for one year and as the head coach for 2004. She committed to coaching softball for only one year because her husband was coaching in Oak Harbor and her family was in the process of adopting daughter Kaia.
Over the years her Coupeville volleyball teams won 85 matches and qualified for tri-district in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008.
The Wolves most successful year came in 2004 when it won the tri-district title over No. 1-ranked Bush High School. That win lifted the Wolves into the top spot in the polls.
Coupeville's only loss during the regular season was to La Conner; the Wolves later beat the Braves in a playoff match when the two teams finished the season tied.
During the state tournament, Coupeville lost again to La Conner, which went on to win the championship.
Two other years stand out, Crebbin said. Her club finished last in the league standings in 2007 but "surprised everyone" at district to qualify for tri-district. In 2009 the Wolves finished third in the Cascade Conference behind powers King's and Archbishop Murphy and she was recognized
by her peers as Coach of the Year. More memorable than the award, she said, was watching "the girls mesh as a team."
Crebbin was reluctant to mention any individuals as the most memorable because "there's going to be some I forget."
She added, "I love the relationships I have built with so many of the girls over the years. Trusted relationships where many have been my babysitters."
Crebbin said she enjoyed coaching exchange student Linde Maertin and "loves to see former players become coaches." Kirsty Crogan coaches at La Conner and Jennifer Bailey and Yashmeen Knox both returned to assist Crebbin in Coupeville.
"Spending time with Bessie Walstad this summer in China was definitely a bonding experience."
Crebbin said, "I have always tried to model and instill integrity, sportsmanship and hard work. Also, I emphasize that success is not measured in wins and losses, but in how you leave the gym every practice, every game. With that said, I tried to have fun with the girls while instilling those things."
"I think what the players remember years later," she said, "is not so much the records, but the memories we created as being a team."

E3 Summary: PS3 vs Xbox 360 vs Wii
Now that the E3 is over, it's time to summarize the latest Playstation 3 news and see just how the PS3 is shaping up against the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii.
Playstation 3 news – for real!
At E3, Sony has finally announced the official Playstation 3 release date. It will come out on November 17, in all territories at the same time, apart from Japan that get the PS3 about one week earlier, on November 11.
The Playstation 3 will be sold in two configurations, one with a 60 GB hard disk drive for USD $599 and the other a 20 GB HDD for $499.
A notable difference between the two versions lies in the fact that the cheaper version will lack the HDMI port, the memory slots and WiFi connectivity. The HDMI port would be required to output dual 1080p video, a feat previously announced by "Father of Playstation", Ken Kutaragi.
Sony's $599 pricetag for the fully spec'ed PS3 version is certainly a first in the history of video game consoles. The price is mainly a consequence of Sony's decision to equip the PS3 with a built-in Blu-ray disc player. Blu-ray, one of the new high definition DVD formats, is a rather expensive technology, and stand-alone Blu-ray disc players won't be available for less than $1,000. From this perspective, the PS3 appears like a bargain!
Quite obviously, Sony is banking on the widespread market penetration of the Playstation brand, making Blu-ray the de facto standard for High Definition DVDs, in a similar way as they were able to bring DVD to the mass market by shipping the PS2 with a built-in DVD player.
At the E3, Sony has revealed that the controller for the PS3 will NOT be the boomerang shaped oddity that was shown previously, but rather the new PS3 controller is based on the good ol' black DualShock controller that we've all grown used to from the PS2.
However, this is not your ol' standard DualShock from yesteryear: the new PS3 controller comes equipped with motion sensing technology! The controller will have six-axis sensing capabilities and could be used for driving cars, flying planes and other related movements. Very cool!
The downside: They've removed the vibration feature from the controller, apparently because the shaking and rumbling interferes with the motion sensor. We figure, some legal aspects may have had to do with this omission too.
Sony has promised an exciting and competitive entry into the online gaming service with the Playstation 3, often referred to as 'HUB', however, no details have been released yet.
Xbox 360 continues strong
So, how do the other consoles stack up? Let's start with the Xbox 360 – the first next generation console out of the starting blocks.
As Sony completes the specifications of its online service, Microsoft has launched "Live Anywhere", a system that is meant to allow for cross platform gaming between Xbox 360 and "Games for Windows", ie. games made specifically for Microsoft's new Windows Vista platform.
Microsoft has also revealed a host of new Xbox 360 accessories that will be released by the end of this year. One surprise was the announcement of an external HD DVD drive – one whose existence Microsoft has repeatedly denied until E3. Maybe Microsoft felt pressured by Sony's decision to ship the PS3 with a built-in Blu-ray drive straight of the box. Unlike the PS3 that will ship games on Blu-ray discs, the Xbox 360′s HD DVD drive is designed to play HD DVD movies only.
Joining the wireless controller, the Xbox 360 will also get a wireless steering wheel and a wireless headset, plus Xbox Vision, a camera peripheral likely to be similar in use to the PS2′s Eye Toy.
After a long silence, Microsoft confirmed at E3 that Halo 3 indeed was in the works. No surprises there. The teaser trailer that was shown was rather short and didn't reveal all that much.
So all in all not much news from Microsoft. So how's Nintendo doing?
Nintendo's revolution: The Wii!
Nintendo's console was recently renamed from "Revolution" to Wii. No release date or price has yet been announced, but it seems to be clear that Nintendo is aiming for a lower price point than its competitors, not at least made possible because of Nintendo's decision to omit HD output for the Wii console.
Their already wickedly innovative controller design for the Wii has received another innovative cherry on top with the inclusion of a built-in speaker on the Wii remote (or Wii-mote, for short).
As far as the Wii remote-nunchuk combination goes, we still wonder about its effectiveness and practicability. Just how long can you play a game where you have to constantly swing and move your arms? While it sounds exciting, we will have to wait until we had some long term experience with it before we can pass judgement.
Summarizing: The final secrets of the PS3 have now been revealed. We know when, how much, and what the controller looks like and what it can and cannot do. No doubt the Playstation 3 will be a powerhouse that can compete and on some levels, surpass the Xbox 360.
The Xbox 360 keeps building on its headstart, announcing a bunch of new games, some cool peripherals, and further features of Xbox Live.
The Wii looks like the dark horse in this race towards the holiday season, especially if Nintendo can keep the price seductively low. Most people will not be able to afford both an Xbox 360 and a PS3, but the Wii with its innovative gameplay may indeed start a small revolution in our living rooms.
So that's the latest. A little bit from all has been revealed, but we're sure there's plenty still to come (PS3 online gaming comes to mind!). But, all we can do for now is to wait until November when we can finally compare the PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 with some quality hands-on experience.

Longtime lurker here who finally decided to join.
Let me start by giving all of you a little background.
I spent the first 25 years of my life in the Chicago Area. Now living in northeastern Maryland.
I'm a die-hard Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox fan. I have NOTHING against the Cubs. I was all for the North-South rivalry in my younger years but, now I'm getting too old for that. Besides, after you've spent time around the Phillies, Red Sox, and Yankees (and their fans) the Cubs are not so bad after all. If you have "Chicago" in your name or on your jersey (or both) then you're alright by me.
I look forward to making this my new home for all things Chicago Bears....it'll be good having some discussions with my fellow Bears fans!

As we are all preparing for a storm of epic proportions, it occurred to me that some suggestions on how to eat without electricity might be helpful.
Here are some foods that are easy and shelf-stable:
- Bread Crackers
- Peanut Butter
- Jelly Tuna, salmon or chicken in cans or packets
- Canned beans
- Canned vegetables
- Canned fruit, apple sauce
- Fresh fruits (melon should be refrigerated or quickly consumed after cutting)
- Nuts and seeds
- Dried fruit
- Cereal
- Juice boxes
If you have a gas stove top – despite not having use of the electric starter, you can use a match to light your stove. Pasta, rice, soups and sauces can easily be heated up. Stews and chilies can also be easily prepared. Even popcorn can be made with oil in a covered pot for snacking.
Wonder about your refrigerator and freezer? According to the USDA, a full freezer will keep food cold for 48 hours if opened minimally. A refrigerator will keep food cold for up to 4 hours. You may put ice into your refrigerator to help keep the temperature cold. One tip that I just found, suggested filling old milk or juice containers with water, then freezing them and putting it in your refrigerator. This is a terrific link from the Texas A&M Extension for handling food and drinks when losing power: texaseden.org/disaster-resources/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/handling-food-and-drinks-when-losing-power.pdf
When it comes to milk, if you don't have the small shelf-stable boxes, another option is using evaporated milk. Instant coffee is the next best thing to a fresh brewed cup if you are desperate for the flavor. Please feel free to share some your favorite electricity-free recipes and strategies with us!

If you can boil water, and you have good ground coffee and a french press, you can make very good coffee without the use of a coffee maker. But be sure to grind the beans in advance since ground beans make the best coffee. In a pinch, and on camping trips, I have found individually-wrapped coffee bags to work well as they take up very little space and tend to taste better than instant coffee.
2:50 pm on Tuesday, October 30, 2012
Out of desperation I poured cold water over some coffee grounds this morning, let it sit for an hour, then poured it through a filter into my cup. Not the best, but not bad!

Agreed Ron - totally helpful if one has a French Press. I have found the newer instant coffee packets made by Starbucks and even Folgers - to be decent in a pinch (I often travel w/them). I guess, I can also take that 20 lb turkey out of my freezer and let it keep my refrigerator cool! Our power went out ~ 3pm today... let the fun begin!

I think these are all great suggestions. If you are planning a 72 hour emergency food plan these are all great. You may also want to consider freeze dried meals (available at decent sporting good stores). The meals range from scrambled eggs to beef stroganoff. These are not the MRE meals that the military eats they are very tasty and you can eat them hot without a stove or grill (self heating pouches). In a stressful situation one might consider about 1100 calories a day as a minimum.
Please keep in mind that the critical factor in these situations is water; clean, purified water. I was taught to calculate a minimum of 3 gallons per day, per person.

The 3 gallons of water per person, per day rule also incorporates bathing, cooking, and washing (dishes, clothes, etc.)

Great tips everyone! I like the MRE-inspired meal idea (esp. since my friend who is an RD in the Navy told me he's driving case loads of them up from the VA Hospital in VA this weekend! I hope those who are in need have found food - hot and non-perishables. I know there are many resources in our community - we are all helping each other out. I know another storm is on its way and hope that we sustain minimal added damage at this time!
2:23 pm on Friday, November 9, 2012
Friends of mine in Tennesse sent a few cases of MRE's and Poland Spring Water that weren't needed by my family so they were brought to the Little League complex opposite Brick Memorial and donated to the families in need. What a great operation the volunteers organized over there for the residents and friends of the township. Great job folks.

The wonder of Christmas allows God's love to soothe | Faithful Living
By JOAN BAY KLOPE
Whidbey News Times Columnist
November 23, 2012 · Updated 1:22 PM
This week I placed a photo of my paternal gramma in my kitchen to use as my inspiration while heading into the Christmas season. She was simple and uneducated by today's standards, but also strong and wise beyond measure. It is for these reasons she's become a part of my sanctuary, better known as the Klope family kitchen. If I want to relax and think things through, I cook something and allow my memories of her to inspire me.
This weekend I will make homemade turkey soup in the large electric roasting pan I frequently use this time of year. I'll carefully place the carcass on center stage in the pan, surround it with fresh water, roughly chopped parsley, chunks of onion and celery and carrots, and whole black pepper. I'll cover the brew, turn up the heat, and leave it alone until the aromas tell me I can lift the cover and experience some bliss.
It is there, as I stir the pot — leaning over to eye and taste test the heavenly broth — that I will stir the thing I have complete control of and hand over to God those things about the holiday season that cause me occasional stress, regret, worry and sadness when I let them.
The wonder of Christmas. The magic of Christmas. The sounds of Christmas. I do my darndest to dive right in and allow the traditions to draw me in and touch those childlike aspects of my personality. Like millions of Christian mothers I will turn out the manger scenes. I'll open to the accounts of Christ's birth in the Bible and reread them. I'll listen to Christmas music and sing out loud in my car. I'll hang stockings. Put out the advent wreath. Bake cookies. Mull cider. Read Christmas cards.
I'll also contemplate the tough stuff, which hurts more this time of year if I let it. I'll think about the members of my childhood family who are scattered across several states. I'll face the reality that divorce and death will forever prevent some of us from happily uniting.
I will buy new pajamas for my kids and present them on Christmas Eve. I'll also miss the grandmother who always bought new pajamas for me when I was growing up. It is that convergence of utter happiness and sadness — that she is no longer here to watch the happy scene — that I can rarely overcome without God's comforting love.
There are also expectations that must be carefully measured this time of year. I want our growing family — the ones born a Klope as well as those invited to join us — to connect meaningfully with each other. I want family traditions to be deeply enjoyed and our hearts bonded.
So it is in my sanctuary that I will stir and chop, sniff the aromas, gaze up at my precious gram and do what she said I should always do, no matter what I am feeling at the moment: Accept the gift of Jesus Christ. Take Jesus at His word that what I'm feeling and experiencing He is taking on as well. And humble myself enough that I become childlike, allowing His love to soothe and heal those parts of me that fester, even while I'm truly enjoying all that is a part of our Christmas celebration.
It's about taking sanctuary in the love God offers each one of us.

Dictionary of gastronomy
Aceite de oliva (olive oil)
Olive oil is the olive's juice. It is the only kind of oil that is obtained by purely mechanical means, without heating processes that could destroy its nutrients, and without using solvents, which are bound to leave residues. Because it contains monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), olive oil is the most suitable fat for consumption. Its effective action against cancer, heart attacks and cardiovascular diseases in general make olive oil an essential ingredient in the Mediterranean diet.
UpAlmuerzo (lunch)
The most important meal of the day in Spain. It is had between 13.00 and 16.00 h. In rural areas it is usually had earlier, while in the big cities it is usually delayed. Although it traditionally had three courses – soup, vegetables and either meat, eggs or fish – plus dessert, nowadays the quantity is usually reduced, sometimes even giving up one or more courses.
UpAnchoas (anchovies)
Anchovies are known as anchoas in the Basque Country, bocarte in Cantabria and boquerón in Andalusia. They are small fish, about 12 cm in length, with an elongated body that is very tasty. Anchovies can be found fresh, preserved in jars or tins, or salted. The best time to eat them is from April to July, but they can be found in the market all year round. They are prepared in many different ways: in oil, in vinegar, fried, opened-up in the shape of a fan, rolled in a batter and fried, etc. When preserved, bled, cured in brine, and covered with oil, they are known as anchoas (anchovies).
UpAngulas (elver)
Elvers are the young of the eel, measuring from four to six centimetres in length. They are caught as they reach Spanish shores from their migration journey from the Sargasso Sea. Elvers are a very coveted Spanish speciality. They are usually salted and covered in olive oil, served in a salads, with other fish, or enriching numerous recipes, like Hake in Green Sauce.
An alcoholic beverage made by macerating aniseeds in spirits. The alcoholic content varies, from very light in the ones known as anisete, to very high (up to 80º) in the driest kinds, which are typical of Chinchón and some other towns in Andalusia. It is considered to be a digestif and it may also be consumed as a soft drink when mixed with water and ice, the result being a whitish drink known as palomita (little dove).
Soft-drink, or alcoholic beverage, that is had before a meal. The appetisers that are served along with the drinks – the traditional tapas – are also known as aperitivos.
UpAtún (tuna)
Of all tunny-like fish that are caught in Spanish shores, the most remarkable species are tuna and bonito. Tuna is caught in the waters near the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a very large fish, with deep red-coloured flesh that is very tasty. Tuna is a very important fish from the economic point of view because of the high demand for it in the Japanese market.

Dex: http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/cobalion
Item: Leftovers/Kings-rock Nature: Jolly Ability: Justified EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Hp
Taunt or Stone-edge
Para-flincher set :D I have always loved using Para-flinch ever since I first tried it with Togekiss, while Cobalion does not have Serene-grace when you add up the Paralysis from Thunder-wave and the 30% Flinch chance from Iron-head there is still a pretty good chance that the opponent will not move especially if you add the Kings-rock. Aside from flinching Iron-head is pretty strong STAB as well. Sacred-sword is very useful STAB and also ignores the opponents defense stat boosts, this guy is the worlds best Umbreon counter because of this and his immunity to poison and his Attack boosts when hit by Dark moves. Though it should be noted that you should not use Para-flinch on Umbreon because if he has Synchronize as his ability then you get paralyzed to and if he has Inner-focus then he can not flinch, furthermore if you used Taunt he(most likely) can only use Payback and that will make your attack boost(though most likely the opponent will switch). Anyway back to the set. For your last move you could use Taunt as a way of crippling walls and tanks, on the other hand you could use Stone-edge for some more coverage. For the Item you can use Leftovers to make him last longer or you can use the Kings-rock to increase your chances of Flinching.
Good mixed sweeper.
Ability: Heart of Justice
EVs: Attack, Speed, Sp. Attack Nature: Rash
Close Combat: Don't expect this guy to stay in for long periods of time, so Close Combat would work well in that case.
Volt Change: Speaking of switching out...
Flash Cannon: STAB.
Stone Edge: Deal with Fire types.
Cobalion @ Choice Band
Trait: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SAtk)
Close Combat is the best STAB move for a Choice banded!! set beacuse of that PWR!
Stone Edge covers Fire weakness and other Types.
Iron Head is the second STAB move.
X-scissor is a good choice for a caverage move.
This is one of the most annoying sets I have ever faced.
Cobalion @ Leftovers Trait: Justified EVs: 248 HP / 68 Atk / 192 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
Cobalion @ Leftovers Trait: Justified EVs: 52 HP / 152 Atk / 52 Def / 252 Spd Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Substitute - Swords Dance - Iron Head - Close Combat
One of my favorite sets to use for this guy. Hes Bulky and he hits Fast and Hard. Substitute is used so you can Set up a few Swords Dances and if you are behind one after you have all the Attack boost theres almost nothing that can stop you. Swords Dance boost your attack by two stages. Iron Head and Close Combat are two amazing STABs.
Cobalion @ Air Balloon
EVs: 252 Atk / 64 Def / 192 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
Cobalion @ Leftovers Trait: Justified EVs: 140 HP / 24 Def / 36 SAtk / 80 SDef / 228 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Flash Cannon - Focus Blast - HP Electric
I would go for a physical moveset:
Iron Head - STAB, good power and a great chance to make the foe flinch. Sacred Sword - STAB, good power, ignores when the foe's Defense increases. Stone Edge - Good Coverage against Fire and Flying foes. Swords Dance - To increase Cobalion's attack sharply.
My Cobalion has great HP and Defense, average Attack and Speed, so it can take hits while powering up with Swords Dance, In Double and Triple battles, it's covered against Special Attacks and then it just kills.
Cobalion@Leftovers Nature:Bold(+Def,-Atk) Trait:Justified EV's:252 Def/252 SDef/4 HP
Stealth rock Toxic Iron defense Magnet rise
Pretty good Pokemon =P Cobalion @ muscle band/leftovers/sitrus berry
Nature:Jolly EV's: 252 sp/ 128 att/ 128 def
Moveset: Sacred Sword: because you don't want to use close combat to lower ur defenses and plus sacred sword is just awesome if you foe is using iron defense or something infront of you because they're just wasting time.
Zen Headbutt: Die you accursed fighting types
Stone Edge: Die you accursed fire types (plus useful against flying types)
Swords dance/hone claws: both options are good using swords dance makes you dish out a stronger attack quicker. Although you have zen headbutt and stone edge which are a lil inaccurate so hone claws is a pretty good option as well ^_^

Royal Garden Silk Shantung Duster
A lovely garment
I bought this duster to wear for an important presentation, and it was a total hit. I felt confident and beautiful in this unusual duster and received many compliments. The embroidery is good, but not great, quality -- I had to trim strays away from a couple of places. But it is well worth its price. I found it to fit exactly right as a petite large.

Beautiful Jacket
I am 5'6" and 151 lbs. I ordered the size large. It fits nicely and is so elegant. I agree with some other reviews about the colors. They are more muted than bright, but still very lovely. I bought this on sale and believe it was a great investment. I can't wait to wear it!
February 12, 2013
Goes with anything!
I bought this on a whim and am very pleased. After reading several reviews, I was worried about colors, but the colors of my duster are true to the pictures on line. I am 5'5', not overweight but a little thick in the middle. I vary between a medium and large top. I ordered the petite large, even though I do not wear petite tops. The fit was perfect--sleeves just right and and the coat not too tight but not baggy or sloppy either. I can wear something long sleeved under it with no problem but it also looks fine with something sleeveless. The lines are fairly slimming--something I was not expecting. I bought it on sale and for that price it is a good value. It is a versatile piece that goes with any color and looks equally good with jeans or dresses.

I already own the Multi-Floral Embroidered Jacket in size medium—a garment that invariably garners compliments. Since it is a bit long in the sleeve [I am 5'4-1/2".], I tried to order the Royal Garden Silk Shantung Duster in a petite size medium, but they were sold out. Wanting to take advantage of the sale price, I ordered the regular size medium. SURPRISE! The sleeve length is just fine! The Duster is truly lovely and quite well made. The embroidery, while festive, is not at all gaudy. It also runs true to size. I can't wait to wear it!

Not tall? Order Petite size
This is a beautiful piece, very well constructed & flattering without being ostentatious. As one reviewer noted, the colors aren't nearly as vibrant as they appear to be in the photo, but this in no way undercuts the beauty of the coat. Please note, however: I ordered a Medium, but the sleeves are just a bit too long, which means I'll have to roll them up & cover the beautiful embroidery at the wrist. Plus, the "mid-thigh" length is fairly close to the knee (the shoulders fit fine) If you're not tall, even if you don't usually wear petite sizes, I highly recommend that your order this one in Petite.
January 7, 2013
Lovely but not for me
I didn't realize it was so long. Long doesn't look good on my frail small frame but the coat is lovely and well made. I'm going to exchange it for something I can wear and feel comfortable in.
I think this would be elegant on a tall thin person.
December 13, 2012
Stunning jacket
This is a spectacular piece, very feminine and elegant. Needs to be worn with absolutely plain pants, shell, dress, whatever. Compliments guaranteed!
May 22, 2012
Perfect for weddings or cocktail parties
An excellent product with a multitude of possible combinations. Just perfect for not too dressy but for very dressy if necessary!

Justifications for Slaughtering Muslims Were in Ample Supply for Crusaders
Islamic extremists have been known to cite passages of the Koran to justify killing non-believers. Western conservatives, in turn, such as those at ReligonofPeace.com (facetious), delight in such quotes. For example:
(8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them."
As well as Hadith (sayings ascribed to Muhammad):
Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 327: - "Allah said, 'A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land."
On the other hand, conservatives are only too happy to give the Old Testament of the Bible a pass on its vaunted violence. From ReligionofPeace again:
Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran.
In two previous posts -- Sanctifying the Killing of Muslims and The Secret to Islam's Rapid Expansion: Free Love (?) -- I wrote about and excerpted Armies of Heaven: The First Crusade and the Quest for Apocalypse (Basic Books, 2011) by American medieval historian Jay Rubenstein. The first Crusade provided Christians with their first opportunity to indulge in wholesale killing of Muslims, which include. The book of the Bible they used to justify it -- if not the decapitation and even cannibalism that succeeded the killing -- was Deuteronomy. From Armies of Heaven again:
According to Deuteronomy 20:20-15, if the Children of Israel intended to attack a city, they were obligated first to offer it peace. If the city accepted, its inhabitants would be spared but enslaved. … if negotiations failed, the Israelites were to lay siege to the city, capture it, kill all of the men, and claim everything else therein -- women, children, and livestock -- as plunder.
Tough to figure out why that has to be included in a holy book. But, wait, it gets worse. Rubenstein explains that "Deuteronomy describes a third possible outcome: 'In the cities of the nations that the Lord God is giving you as an inheritance [alleged author Moses is stretching the definition of the word inheritance pretty wide here -- RW] -- "do not leave alive anything that breathes. Complete destroy them."
Thus did the first Crusade apply these laws to the grisly Siege of Antioch on the way to Jerusalem. Rubenstein:
Albert of Aachen estimated the number of Saracens [Muslims] dead at 10,000 and said that the Franks [Crusaders] "spared none of the [Muslims] on the basis of age or gender, as the earth grew covered with the bodies and blood of the dead." As Raymond of Aguilers [a Crusade commander] hurried to see the killing, he found it "an amusing spectacle," … "All the public squares were filled with dead bodies," another eyewitness observed. … "In truth, no one could walk through the city streets without treading on corpses."
The crusaders not only used rules from the Bible but sought to emulate battles from the Bible. They compared another battle that turned into a slaughter to, Rubenstein writes, "what happened to the tribe of Benjamin in the Book of Judges [when the Israelites] killed 25,000 of the [Benjaminites] and then afterward they destroyed their cities, their animals, their women, and their children."
In short …
Had the crusaders ever followed this ethos in their European homeland, their actions would have been viewed as atrocities. But in the context of a holy war intended to re-create those same Old Testament battles fought in the same deserts where the Israelites had wandered, atrocities were standard practice. The result was a new level of violence, leading to battles that in scale and character were truly apocalyptic.
No doubt more atrocities ensued when the crusaders reached Jerusalem -- my history is weak and I'm 100 pages from concluding the book. But at least there's this …
The levels of bloodshed and brutality were so far beyond ordinary warfare that the experience of it would have changed the warriors' sense of their own humanity.
Enduring post-traumatic stress syndrome is a small price to pay when God is on your side.

So, I've been having a really hard time dealing with my m/c in January. I wasn't very far along, but I was far enough along to be hopeful - and had told my immediately family, parents, grandmother, etc. Even now, it just hurts so bad at times. I'm starting to see a therapist soon to get some help in coping with that plus stress, life, etc.
I've also been reading about miscarriage (Karen Edmisten's After Miscarriage and some online resources), from a Catholic perspective specifically (though I consider myself a liberal-minded person). In my reading, I've been reading that some women and their significant others decide to name the baby - even if they didn't know the gender (which we obviously did not since it was early in the pregnancy).
What do you think about this?
I'll be honest - DH thinks this idea is ridiculous, and he thinks I am over-dramaticizing the loss. I know that he just has no way to comprehend how it feels from a maternal perspective - just as I had no idea how painful m/c was (physically and emotionally) when friends had gone through it until I had gone through it myself.
I know that there are many women of many belief systems on APA, but I just think that maybe God loved this baby enough to keep him/her in heaven. I know I have an angel waiting for me if/when I get there. I just don't know if it is right to name this "angel" - or if I'm crazy... It feels so nebulous and vague if I don't acknowledge this pregnancy though...
Again - any thoughts/advice?

With the school year already in full swing, the LaGrange Memorial Library's Weekly Story Time, a preschool reading program, is also going strong. Every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., the children's librarian, Debbie Atkins leads a group of youngsters, accompanied by their parents, grandparents or caregivers, through an exciting and fun interactive reading experience.
Each week, Atkins plans activities based on a given theme. Atkins uses a combination of songs, finger plays, stories and crafts to entertain the children and enhance their experience on that week's topic. Preschool literacy programs, such as this one, benefit children in many ways.
"Reading aloud to children helps them to improve their language and vocabulary skills, while they also develop a love of books and reading,"said Atkins. "Research shows that songs and acting help children with their coordination and increases their aptitude for learning," Atkins stated.
Yesterday, in preparation of this coming weekend's celebration, the topic was "Grandparents".
As they arrived, the preschoolers were allowed to explore the books and play items in the children's section of the library. On this particular day, mothers and/or grandmothers accompanied them to the program. The children ranged in ages between two months and five years. The adults interacted with each other and the children as they gradually got the youngsters to be seated on the carpeted steps by the windows. Librarian Atkins, greeted by all as Miss Debbie, then started the program.
Miss Debbie introduced the topic to her young audience asking them if they knew what special day this coming Sunday was. She then went on to have the children sing special songs, which were familiar tunes whose lyrics had been changed so that they were all about grandparents. After the songs, the children listened, laughed and added a few of their own comments, while Miss Debbie read them stories all about grandmothers and grandfathers.
During the last portion of the program, the children moved to tables to begin the day's craft. Miss Debbie offered careful instructions, and with the adults' assistance, each child produced their own greeting card that they could give to their grandparents this Sunday.
As a result of Librarian Atkins' careful planning and years of experience working with children's literacy projects and programs, the children and adults all seemed to enjoy themselves. The children had a positive learning experience, a time to socialize and thanks to the LaGrange Memorial Library; they may also be a step closer to becoming avid readers.
Preschool children, who are accompanied by an adult, are welcome to take advantage of this wonderful weekly program. The program's schedule follows the regular public school calendar, observing the same vacations and holidays.

Key numbers on the: Secretariat Convention Kyoto Protocol Flexible Mechanisms Greenhouse gas emissions Bali Road Map and Cancun Agreements Negotiating sessions On the Secretariat How many staff are there at the Secretariat? 492 at last count, (September 2011). 526 live bodies, if you also count our interns, fellows, consultants and daily-rated staff. On the Convention When was the Convention adopted? 1992. When did the Convention come into force? 1994. How many countries are Party to the Convention? 194 (+ the EU), at last count (September 2011). On the Kyoto Protocol How many Convention Parties are Party to the Kyoto Protocol? 191. When was the Kyoto Protocol adopted? 1997. When did the Kyoto Protocol come into force? 2005.
When and where was the amendment to the Kyoto Protocol for the second commitment period adopted?
2012 in Doha, Qatar. On flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol How many CDM projects are registered in the world? 6,060, at last count (31 January 2013). How many CDM projects are registered in each region of the world? At last count (31 January 2013): Asia and the Pacific: 5,171 (85.3%) Latin America and the Caribbean: 740 (12.2%) Africa: 118 (1.9%) Eastern Europe: 31 (0.5%) There are currently 543 projects requesting registration. What percentage are small and large projects? 38.8% are small projects. 61.2% are large projects. What sorts of projects are they? The majority of projects (74.3%) are in energy industries. The second largest proportion of projects tackle waste handling and disposal (11.1%). How many Certified Emission Reduction certificates are there in circulation? 1,198,058,628 CERs have been issued (as of January 31 2013) and an estimated 2,441,242,880 are expected to be issued by the end of 2020. On greenhouse gas emissions Do you have estimates for historical and projected global GHG emissions, i.e., emissions for the whole world? We don't collect or estimate GHG emissions for the world in total. The reason is that, according to the reporting requirements under the Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, the format and coverage of GHG data are different for Annex I Parties to the Convention ("industrialized" countries) and non-Annex I Parties ("developing" countries), and so we are not able to calculate a value for the world total accurately. Estimates for global emissions are made by some other organizations (such as the International Energy Agency) and they can be found at their websites. What is "CO2 equivalent"? GHG emissions/removals can be expressed either in physical units (such as grams, tonnes, etc.) or in terms of CO2 equivalent (grams CO2 equivalent, tonnes CO2 equivalent, etc.). The conversion factor from physical units to CO2 equivalent is the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the corresponding GHG. If X Gg of CH4 is to be expressed in terms of CO2 equivalent, then it is multiplied by 21, which is GWP of CH4 over 100 years timescale. On the Bali Road Map and Cancun Agreements When was the Bali Road Map agreed on? 2007. When were the Cancun Agreements created and agreed on? 2010. What is this 2 degrees C goal? A 2 degrees Celsius/Centigrade rise in global temperatures from pre-industrial levels is the highest rise we can afford if we want a 50% chance of avoiding the worst effects of climate change. What is concentration of carbon dioxide equivalent in the atmosphere that the world must stay at or under to stay true to the 2 degrees Celsius goal? 450 parts per million. What's the current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? 395 parts per million. What was the base from which it grew, and when? Before the Industrial Revolution, concentrations were fairly stable at 280 parts per million. This has gone up 41% from then till now. On the negotiating sessions How many journalists attend the negotiating sessions? Up to 4000 media representatives have attended the annual Conferences of the Parties and Conferences of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol(COP/CMP). How many representatives of observer organizations attend the negotiating sessions? 2,000 on average at smaller negotiating sessions. 7,000 on average at Conferences of the Parties and Conferences of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. The decisions at COPs are taken by governments. On average, 40% and 60% of the overall number of participants at UNFCCC meetings are representatives of the UNFCCC's over 1,500 admitted observer organisations. How many negotiating sessions are there per year? 4 a year, on average, in recent years. The Rules of Procedure provide for two sessional periods per year. Ordinary sessions of the COP are held once every year, and the SBSTA and the SBI usually meet twice a year, once in conjunction with sessions of the COP. If countries feel they need more time to complete their mandated work before a COP, they request and agree on additional sessions. Which COP is this year's COP? 19th. In November 2013, Poland will host COP19 in Warsaw. Which CMP is this year's CMP? 9th. The meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol takes place simultaneously with the meeting of the COP.

More than 250,000 children across the U.S. participated in the annual event to learn about walking safely and to encourage the creation of safe walking environments.
"On International Walk to School Day, parents and caregivers both teach and model safe pedestrian behavior," said Traci Napier Reece, Safe Kids Walker County coordinator. "It is one thing to tell students about pedestrian safety, but by walking with them on International Walk to School Day, we can show them proper behaviors and give them the tools to be safer pedestrians.
This fall, Safe Kids released a report titled "Walking Safely, A Report to the Nation," a 15-year trend report which examined child pedestrian injuries and deaths in the U.S. The report revealed that while walking safety has improved overall for children since 1995, there are still a staggering number of children hit by cars. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among children ages three to 14. More than 61 children are injured every day severely enough to seek medical attention, and more than 500 children are killed every year.
"International Walk to School Day is a great opportunity for students to learn how to remain injury-free as they walk to and from school," Reece said. "No child should be put in danger simply because they are walking to school or around their neighborhood."
In 1999, Safe Kids Worldwide and program sponsor FedEx created the Safe Kids Walk This Way Program in the U.S. to teach safe behaviors to motorists and child pedestrians and create safer, more walkable communities. This year will mark the 13th anniversary of the program. Safe Kids coalitions across the country will work with more than 1,000 elementary schools to hold events for children on how to walk safely and recognize pedestrian dangers.
"Safety is one of our company's core values, and we have been dedicated to improving child pedestrian safety through the Safe Kids Walk This Way program for over a decade," said Rose Flenorl, manager of FedEx Global Citizenship. "Our team members worked hand-in-hand with Safe Kids Walker County to teach Chickamauga Elementary students how to stay safer when they walk. Safe Kids Walker County does a wonderful job in our community, and we look forward to supporting them as they make walking safer for everyone."
Safe Kids Walker County works to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause of death and disability to children ages one to 14. Partners include Rock City, Mike Herndon State Farm, Walker County Health Department, Rossville Fire Department, Georgia State Patrol, GSP Motor Carrier Compliance Division, LaFayette Woman's Club, Chickamauga Woman's Club, Heather Napier AllState Down Home Agency and Walker County Sheriff's Department. Safe Kids Walker County is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedicated to preventing unintentional injury. Safe Kids Walker County was founded in 2009 and is led by Walker County Emergency Services. For more information, visit safekids.org.

A lot of things were discussed during this meeting and making preparations for the first actual town meeting the second Monday in December.
Appointments of Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Town Clerk will be made on December 10, 2012.
An annual statement of commitment to safety was presented. The town having this document will qualify the town for 10 percent discount on worker's compensation insurance.
Mayor Baker gave the council and update on the tree removal on the causeway.
To comply with citizen's request of certain species of tress to be left, a new quote for the removal of the trees had to be gotten.
The new quote for this project is $77,488.00 which includes the removal of Mimosa Trees because they were cited as being a non-native invasive species by environmentalist.
Baker told the council that the sign at the corner of Highway 68 and County Road 44 would have to be moved.
Other items of business discussed were that of The Tillotson-Menio Foundation Grand has been approved in the amount of $5,000 to be used for Liberty Day Fireworks.
Also the 2013 Alabama League of Municipalities Convention will be held in May.

The good: Cianbro Corp. and Woodard & Curran were recently included in Engineering News-Record's lists of the 100 top contractors and design firms, respectively, while six other Maine companies were lauded for their business excellence by Gov. Paul LePage.
The bad: A report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that New England fish stocks are still being overfished more so than stocks in other parts of the country.
The timely translation: The Maine Forest Service's logging manual, "Best management practices: Protecting Maine's water quality," is now available in French. The service said it received three requests from landowners working with French-speaking loggers, or "bucherons," in the last year for a French-language version.

Love these AG products! Great selection also! Scrapbook.com has an excellent selection. All purchases made have been received in great condition and quickly. I love this site!
You can't go wrong with this style of paper. Keep them stocked please!!!
I am a longtime fan of Anna Griffin's floral papers and regret that the older patterns are no longer available. Can't beat them for weddings and heritage pages.
The Francesca papers are by far my favorites from Anna Griffin. I have purchased multiple packs of her florals in the past but these exceed all others.
I like the flowers in the center of the paper.
Elizabeth McClure
Beautiful vintage design. Can't wait to design a project with this line.

The Rustic Garden Bistro is my journal of edible projects. I work with what's around me, lots of colors, bold flavors, and opposing textures. I'm tickled when I can rely on my edible garden and backyard chicken eggs. And I'm happiest when the people I serve call it a success!
Thanks for stopping by; it's great to have you here!
