Ben Turner's first Football League goal saw Coventry maintain their unbeaten start to the npower Championship campaign as midlands rivals Derby were beaten 2-1 at the Ricoh Arena.
The big defender headed the winner after 80 minutes to temporarily send the Sky Blues top of the table.
Dean Moxey had marked his return to the Derby starting line-up with a goal early in the second half to cancel out Lukas Jutkiewicz's first-half penalty.

Two of them depart, and Franco engages in three-way sex with Benson and Hudgens in a pool.

Yes, you read that right. Take a moment. Collect the pieces of your shattered brain. And let me repeat:
This woman's son was denied health care coverage because her insurance company said his acne was a pre-existing condition.
Watch the video here:
There are no words. Oh wait, my rage found some:
This is bureaucracy in action. This is a clear and obvious sign that our health care system is broken. Is acne painful, and sometimes embarrassing? Sure. Is it a prohibitively expensive, life threatening condition for which an adolescent boy should be denied health care coverage? Absolutely, positively no. Not that anyone should be denied coverage for any reason, but even by the health insurance companies' ridiculous standards, this logic is absurd. What's next? Denying someone coverage because they can't get a date to prom?
All flippancy aside, this is no joke for the family in this situation. Even though this woman's family pays a premium of $500 every month, her son is still not covered because of a broken health care system that lets abuses of power like this happen.
For those who oppose a public health plan option, because they fear government bureaucracy, guess what? The nightmare of bureaucratic delay and lack of care that you fear is one we're living in now. We need reform this year. It's time to wake up.

I heard about this 85-year-old woman. She went on a blind date with a 92-year-old man. She came home very frustrated and her daughter said, "Mom, what's wrong?" She said, "I had to slap him three times." The daughter said, " You mean he tried to get fresh?" She said, "No, I thought he was dead." -- From Joel Osteen Jokes
If you've ever wanted to spice up your next PTA meeting or work retreat with some good clean jokes, a recently published book of some of Pastor Joel Osteen's quips should help you out.
In fact, there is somewhat of a booming industry in publishing some of Osteen's life lessons, quotes, and uplifting messages over on the Amazon site.
This is all in addition to the multitude of Osteen-penned books on the market at any given time.
Not everyone is happy with the book, though.
"No real laughs here, except maybe for the elderly or those with Alzheimer's. Not worth my time, didn't finish it," writes a commenter on the Amazon site.
Some were more charitable.
"My only regret is, that there weren't enough," goes another customer review.
According to Andrea Davis, spokesperson with Lakewood Church, books like this aren't rare. Plenty of Osteen's works get published this way.
The church didn't sign off on this one, nor did they publish it. The church is currently reviewing if any of these books are infringing on any copyrights they hold.

Glee Season 3 Spoilers! Chris Colfer Reveals Kurt's Future, Addresses Spin-Off
New Directions return to McKinley High this school year fresh off a Nationals loss — and with the impending doom of graduation (for fans sorry to see the seniors go, anyway) nigh. Among the 12th graders singing their swan song this season is Chris Colfer (Kurt), who dished just a bit on what we can expect next season, plus gave a surprisingly positive response to the mucho rumored Glee spin-off.
Klaine will continue to be an item next season, since, as Chris says, they have no other options (which we aren't entirely sure depicts a positive relationship, but okay...), while Kurt and Rachel (Lea Michele) further develop their new-found bestie-ship.
As for Kurt's academic pursuits, Chris tells Entertainment Weekly, "He is entering a new area of school, or attempting [to enter] into a new area of school and responsibility that we have not seen him enter," hinting that a new club may be thrown into the mix for Kurt's senior year.
And, of course, what would an interview with one of the departing members of New Directions be without him weighing in on the Glee spin-off rumors? "I definitely wanna hear details before I fully commit myself to it," Chris cautions, "But I love Kurt. I love being him. I love the relationship with his father. I would love to move on with this character in some way, just selfishly for my own sake, to see how he grows and the person he becomes. So I'd love to move on with him."

Iron Man arm lamp gives you a light-up superhero hand
A talented maker turns Iron Man's arm and hand repulsor unit into a super-lamp capable of vanquishing bad guys and lighting up a desk.
Tony Stark may use the repulsor units on the hands of his Iron Man suit to help him fly around and fight, but Sergio Oliveira has found a different use for them. Oliveira's Iron Man arm lamp is a one-of-a-kind task light suitable for brightening up the work space of any superhero fan.
Unlike the repulsor from Iron Man's armor, the lamp version isn't likely to blast the papers right off your desk. What makes this lamp even better is that it's not a fresh-off-the-assembly-line arm. It's a battle-worn, scarred-surface arm. It looks like it's been through a few rounds with Whiplash.
There aren't any details on how Oliveira accomplished the build, but it certainly looks spectacular. Even the cord and switch is done in Iron Man red. It looks like he snuck into Tony Stark's headquarters, borrowed an arm, and took it home to hot-rod it into the lamp form.
One thing is certain, the lamp probably cost considerably less to make than the estimated price of $2 million to build the repulsors if the suit were actually real. Now, if Oliveira would just make these available on Etsy, I'd be thrilled.

Sherry at Intentional Disciples has an observation about intra-Catholic squabbles that touches on a theme I looked at earlier (Political Economy and the Church). Sherry quotes Sara S "a very thoughtful young Catholic of less than a year from a "none" background." In a comment on Mark Shea blog (Catholic and Loving It) Sara says that she wishes that Catholics "could stop referring to our experiences of 40 years ago when the crisis is with people who weren't born when older Catholics were cutting and pasting for Jesus." Sara goes on to criticize "old hippies" and "angry young men" and the tendency of each to blame the other for all the ills in the Church. And then she says something that needs to be said to Catholic and Orthodox Christians alike:
I wish I could explain how disillusioning and ridiculous it all looks from the outside, and how much of it makes literally no sense to someone like me who doesn't already have years of exposure to this stuff. If you can "evangelize" more effectively–or put up a more heartfelt defense– about some bit of Church culture or liturgical issue or controversial teaching– than you can about the Kingdom of God–what is someone from the outside supposed to think is more important to you.
If Sara approached a typical Orthodox parish I wonder if she'd come away thinking that (like her Catholic friends) if she would think we too were just "nice folks" who loved music but who seemed (in our case) who could give a heartfelt defense about Church (or ethnic) culture but had little to say about the Kingdom of God.
And while we might invite her with greater or less grace to join the Church, we would probably do so in a way that neglected to invite her to enter the Kingdom of God. Yes, I know we enter the Kingdom of God when we take part in the sacraments—but how many of us actually know this much less believe it? As one priest friend of mine put it the problem is this: "Here we talk a lot about the St X; somewhat less about Orthodoxy; but about Jesus? Hardly at all."
Sara continues in a way that makes me wish she was in any of the parishes I've served over the years.
I love to evangelize and I don't find it hard– to me it is just about, … , living with my faith on my sleeve. There are a lot of "nothings" out there, like I was, who are so deeply moved by people who live joyful, counter-cultural lives and aren't afraid to say that they are motivated by a deep love of Jesus and a desire to follow Him.
Several months ago I was asked to write something that would help the Orthodox Church reach the fasting growing religious demographic in America, the "nothings," the young men and women who, like Sara who aren't only not Christian (much less Orthodox) but who have no religious affiliation at all. Nothing I could write would match this young woman's words:
The 20 somethings I talk to, who have abandoned the religion of their childhood if they ever had one at all, might *think* that they are dead-set against the Church because of its teachings (so did I, 5 or 6 years ago)– and if I were to approach them with Church teachings I would have some very short conversations. But I find that I can talk with these same people just by talking about my own life– about Scripture, about saints, about how faith informs my choices every day– just give them enough to start feeling hungry. I trust that the Holy Spirit will do the rest when they get to the point that they are worried about controversial teachings.
My friend Fr Christian Mathias makes an observation about Sara's experiences that are as applicable to Orthodox as to Catholics.
Sara's description is exactly what I have seen in many parishes where I have served. …How often are we as Catholics more than willing to simply push our own agendas so that the things that we like the most might become more prevalent in the Church? How many times to we fall prey to the false belief that we can somehow control how others act, simply by arguing our own position more eloquently than another? I honestly believe that all these different "camps" that continue to spring up within our Church do violence to others rather than calling them to relationship with Christ.
Father continues "that if we are to truly be a Church centered in Christ, we must abandon these internal divisions among us and try to understand the strengths found in each person God has called to be in His Church." From my conversation with him, I can attest that he doesn't "suggest this path as simply a pious platitude. It is difficult to live as a disciple of Christ and we as Christians will undoubtedly have disagreements with one another." But what is "key, I think, is how we approach those disagreements." We must disagree in words and tones and deeds that show "mutual Christian respect and charity."
Sherry points that the challenge facing the Catholic Church is I think the same one facing the Orthodox Church. Both communities are struggling for reasons that go "so far beyond a failure to catechize. We are two generations past that. We are on the edge of a demographic precipice that is going to make the post Vatican II [or for the OCA, the post-autocephaly] fall-off look like a golden age. We are going to have to (gasp) GO OUT and make disciples."
The reason this is important is because in "our culture, religious identity is not longer inherited, it is chosen. And reconsidering the religious identity of your childhood has become a rite of passage for young adults. So we have to evangelize when they are children and we'll probably have to do it again when they are young adults. "
The more I follow the online discussions about the Orthodox Church, the more I follow the debates and disagreements in the Church about administrative unity, or the concerns expressed about the moral or personal or administrative or leadership failings of the bishops or the clergy, the more I become convinced that whatever might be the truth of these concerns, ALL of this is simply a distraction.
No, it's more than that. It's a justification, an excuse, for not helping each other and those outside the Church fall in love with Jesus Christ. How easy it is to talk about everything, but about Jesus hardly at all.
In Christ,
+Fr Gregory

The sales force has to be nimble, looking for rising products to replace declining ones. With newsprint and high-quality magazine paper slumping, the port invested in massive storage sheds — the latest a 300,000-square-foot expansion at Dundalk Marine Terminal — to attract consumer paper product companies such as Kimberly-Clark and Procter & Gamble.
"People wipe their faces with napkins, not iPads," Powers said.
Last year, Baltimore's direct-call container business inched up slightly to 7.5 percent of the East Coast market, but that remained far behind Norfolk's 24 percent. To beef up that aspect of port traffic, the trade team has set its sights on increasing business from shipping companies Maersk Line of Denmark and CMA-CGM Group of France.
One of the best ways to do that, said Joseph Greco Sr., the port's deputy marketing director, is to get buy-in from companies building huge regional distribution centers, such as IKEA, Costco and REI. The ships will go where their customers want them, and such retailers want access to the third-most prosperous market in the country and cargo-moving efficiency that is among the best in the nation.
"If we can make them see what Baltimore can do for them, they tell their carriers they want service in Baltimore," Greco said.
Often, that's enough. But officials sometimes need a deal sweetener.
When REI, the outdoor gear retailer, decided to build a 525,000-square-foot distribution center on 43 acres in Bedford, Pa., it began shopping for an East Coast port. The search included New York, Philadelphia and Savannah, Ga., said Scott Searcy, logistics technology manager.
Costs, fuel use, travel time and traffic congestion all figured into the equation, but so did carbon footprint and environmental strategy. The Bedford center supplies almost half of REI's 132 cooperative stores and direct-to-customer business.
The port's efforts to replace fuel-guzzling trucks with biodiesel vehicles, build wetlands and restore habitat, along with its recycling program, all impressed REI officials.
"We quickly realized that Baltimore was aligned with REI's values," Searcy said. "They didn't do things because it's a nice thing to do. They do it to make a difference, and they're doing it far and above what other ports are doing."

The ability of phototrophic organisms, such as plants, algae and cyanobacteria, to convert solar energy into biomass is of immense importance since the very survival of both photoautotrophic and non-photoautotrophic organisms depends on this process. In addition, the efficiency of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation into storage and structural products is one of the main factors that determine the efficiency of biological carbon sequestration, and the economic viability of biofuel production.
Improvements in the area of photosynthetic performance to meet the challenges of a changing climate require a thorough understanding of light-dependent primary photosynthetic events and CO2 fixation in cyanobacteria, algae, and in plant source organs such as leaves, transport of photosynthate (primarily sucrose) to plant sink organs such as seeds, uptake and metabolism of photosynthate in sink cells, deposition of sucrose-derived carbon as storage (e.g. starch) or structural (e.g. cellulose) compounds, the metabolic fluxes in plant sinks, and mechanisms that regulate source-sink interactions.

New Student Orientation is mandatory at TCC because we know it works. Students who learn to register, use the portal and navigate the campus systems are more successful in their first quarter and more likely to continue with their college education than those who do not participate in an orientation.
Is this your first time in college or has it been a long time since you last attended a college? If so, an in-person new student orientation (NSO) may be your best option. Follow the "NSO sign-up" link below to sign up for an in-person new student orientation (NSO) where you will meet with professional advisors and learn how to select and register for your courses. Transfer students or students who are returning to TCC are not required to complete an orientation, but should arrange to have transcripts from other colleges they have attended evaluated. If you have been away from school for some time you may want to attend an NSO or review this online version of the NSO.
Sign up for an in-person NSO
If you are an OnCampus Student you should sign up to attend a campus New Student Orientation. At this event you will meet with advisors in a group advising session, learn how to use the campus portal and register in classes. You will be introduced to the tools that will help you build an educational plan and you will learn about many campus resources that support student success.
Online NSO option
If you plan to take most or all of your classes online and it is not possible to attend a campus orientation you should continue through this online version of the New Student Orientation. It is very important to complete the entire Online Orientation! After you submit the Online NSO form at the end of the NSO (see last page Part 4 My TCC Portal) and earn at least 10 points on the NSO quizzes you will be assigned to a program and an academic advisor. You should receive a welcome message from your advisor acknowledging completion of this required step within one week. Failure to complete the orientation and submit the form may lead to a delay in your registration next quarter.

How to Frame a Canvas
Picture frames allow you to hang a canvas while protecting it. They also provide decoration and can draw the eye to the canvas. You can buy all of the materials to frame your canvas at an art supply store or a crafts store. Use these tips to frame a canvas.
1Measure your canvas. Use a tape measure to determine the length, width and depth of the canvas.Ad
2Select your frame. Choose a frame with measurements that fit the dimensions of your canvas.
- Match the depth of the frame's inner lip with the depth of the canvas.
- Measure the frame from one inner lip to the inner lip on the opposite side to determine its length and width.
3Insert the canvas into the frame.
- Place the frame on a flat surface. The front side of the frame should face down.
- Place the canvas into the frame. The decorated side of the canvas should face down. Ensure that the canvas sits on the frame's lip. Ensure that you do not scratch the decorated side of the canvas when setting it into the frame.
4Attach the canvas clips.
- Place the spiked end of the canvas clip in between the frame and the canvas.
- Draw the other end of the clip across the stretcher bar to which the canvas is stapled. The other end of the clip should hook onto the inner edge of the stretcher bar.
- Push down on the clip to ensure that it stays in place.
- Attach all of the clips to the canvas. Space the clips evenly around the canvas.
5Attach the hanger screws.
- Use a ruler and pencil to mark a point on the inside of each stretcher bar approximately � of the way below the top edge of the canvas.
- Screw each eye screw into the stretcher bar at the point marked. Ensure that you do not press on the decorated area of the canvas while attaching the screws.
6Attach the hanger wire.
- Add 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm) to the width of the canvas. This is the length of hanger wire you will cut. If your canvas is 24 inches (61 cm) wide, then your hanger wire will be 30 to 32 inches (76.2 to 81.3 cm) long.
- Use long-nose pliers to cut the desired length of hanger wire.
- Loop one end of the wire 2 times around 1 of the eye screws.
- Wind the end of the wire around the main length of the wire to secure the loop in place.
- Loop the other end of the hanger wire 2 times around the other eye screw.
- Twist the end of the wire around the main length of the wire to secure the loop in place.
- Ensure the wire that runs behind the canvas is not completely taut. The wire should be slack enough to move 1 inch (2.5 cm) when hung on a nail.
7Hang the framed canvas. Place the hanger wire on the wall over a nail or hook. Ensure that the nail or hook is able to support an object twice as heavy as the canvas. For large canvases, use 2 nails or hooks to hang the canvas.Ad
We could really use your help!
Frosting Icing and Fondant?
Science for Kids?
- Most canvases will require 4 to 6 canvas clips to secure the canvas in the frame. If the canvas is 24 by 36 inches (61 by 91.4 cm) or larger, use 8 canvas clips.
Things You'll Need
- Canvas
- Tape measure
- Picture frame
- Canvas clips
- 2 eye screws
- Woven picture wire
- Long-nose pliers
- Nail or hook

Investigating Workplace Violence
For Employees:
This online course is just part of your complete Workplace Violence Training. When everyone in your work unit has completed this online "investigation" of some of the basics, your supervisor should arrange a follow-up meeting to watch a video and discuss some issues and plans that directly affect your work unit. Read through the course objectives if you would like to.
For Supervisors and Managers:
Be sure to complete this online course along with your employees. After you complete this section on the basics, you'll be directed to a special section for supervisors since your role is so important in prevention, recognizing potential problems, and handling difficult situations. You'll also find a printable guide there that you can save for future reference. Read through the course objectives if you would like to.
When you have completed the online course, go to the Planning Section to arrange the video and discussion meeting. Your employees can learn the basics of Workplace Violence here, but without some follow-up in your particular office or institution, their training will not be complete! As you'll see in the Planning Section, your follow-up meeting will take only about an hour and we've done most of the planning for you.
You might want to give your employees a reasonable time frame to complete the online course and schedule your follow-up discussion meeting soon after, so it won't "slip through the cracks" with all of the other important day-to-day work planned. (Be sure to give your employees sufficient notice and help them get to another computer or arrange for some uninterrupted time to complete the online course. Review our Managers' Guide to Online Training if you have not already seen it.)

The friendly stylists guarantee to give you an unforgettable holistic experience from the second you step into this top of the range spa and hair salon. Yemaya Spa & Hair combines traditional and modern therapies and treatments allowing you to instantly de-stress. You will soon forget about the funny looks you got in the bank queue or the time the snooty HR lady came over to your desk and pointed out the similarity between your hair and a meme of an orang-utan wearing a fedora.
Sit down and go to your happy place while the professional hair-healers at Yemaya Spa & Hair apply renowned products from the Paul Mitchell range with The Paul Mitchell Hair Tint, which will give your hair a boost of colour that will rival any Warhol Pop art print. The aromatic and healing properties of ginger will gently revitalise your locks with the Paul Mitchell Wild Ginger Treatment, bound to turn you into the face that launched a thousand (spice) ships.
When the professionals at Yemaya Spa and Hair are done, you'll vow to banish all hats and paper bags to the place where hats and paper bags go to die and show off your new crowning glory with a pride reserved for peacocks and British football fans. All you'll need is a wind-machine and some dry-ice and you're good to go.
Hairy fact: In ancient Khoi San mythology, the Milky Way is believed to be made of flowing strands of grey hair. The Shaman would throw bones and pieces of wood on the ground to determine the Milky Way's mood. If it was happy the Khoi San would receive mixed tapes of Calypso music, if not they would have to dodge gigantic falling coconuts.

Since Affirmed became the 11th and most recent 3-year-old to win the Triple Crown in 1978, there have been three exceptional sophomores who won two-thirds of the crown but couldn't grab all three.
To me, Spectacular Bid in 1979, Alysheba in 1987 and Point Given in 2001 stand out as the best 3-year-olds that didn't sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. Sunday Silence, in my opinion, is probably No. 4 on the list.
Spectacular Bid was a colt who showed his brilliance whether running short or long. He won the seven-furlong Malibu Stakes in then-record time at Santa Anita in 1979 and also still holds the track record for 1 1/4 miles, running a 1:57 4/5 while winning the 1980 Strub Stakes.
Spectacular Bid lost once more in his career after the Belmont, falling short to 1978 Triple Crown winner Affirmed in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park.
He won all nine of his starts as a 4-year-old, setting track records at distances of seven furlongs, one mile, 1 1/4 miles and twice at 1 1/8 miles, and was named the 1980 Horse of the Year.
Alysheba, who had only a maiden victory to his credit when he won the Derby, went on to enjoy a brilliant 4-year-old season, winning the Strub Stakes and Santa Anita Handicap at Santa Anita and then clinching 1988 Horse of the Year honors with victories in the Meadowlands Cup, Woodward Stakes and Breeders' Cup Classic.
Point Given never had the chance to show if he could turn in as brilliant a 4-year-old season as Spectacular Bid and Alysheba, but he was mighty good as a 3-year-old. After finishing fifth in the Derby, he came back to win the Preakness, Belmont, Haskell Invitational and Travers Stakes en route to 2001 Horse of the Year laurels before an injury ended his career.
He ran the fourth fastest Belmont ever, quicker than even Triple Crown winners Seattle Slew and Affirmed, and he's the only horse in history to win four $1 million races consecutively. He also became the first horse since 1967 to win the Preakness, Belmont and Travers, joining an elite group that includes Man o' War (1920), Whirlaway (1941), Native Dancer (1953) and Damascus (1967).
There have been other outstanding 3-year-olds that won two-thirds of the Triple Crown since 1979, including Pleasant Colony (1981), Swale (1984), Risen Star (1988), Sunday Silence (1989), Hansel (1991), Tabasco Cat (1994), Thunder Gulch (1995), Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998), Charismatic (1999), War Emblem (2002), Funny Cide (2003), Smarty Jones (2004), Afleet Alex (2005) and Big Brown (2008).
Of course, we'll never know how Barbaro would have fared in 2006 if he hadn't broken down in the Preakness after a scintillating victory in the Derby. Would he have beaten Bernardini at Pimlico and gone on to become the 12th Triple Crown winner?
Here are replays of the two Triple Crown races that Spectacular Bid and Point Given couldn't win, the 1979 Belmont and the 2001 Kentucky Derby. I couldn't find video of the 1987 Belmont Stakes:

Butler Motorcycle Maps Northern California
Each and every road segment detailed in the Butler Motorcycle Maps has been ridden and rated by an owner of Butler Maps Inc. From sport bike enthusiast, to dual sport adventurer, chopper rider, to two-up tourers, their team has diligently researched and presented fantastic riding experiences that are sure to impress no matter what you ride.
G1 Rides
77 Routes
As riders we constantly search for the perfect road. We seek that fleeting moment where everything fits perfectly together. The rhythmic hum of the motor, the dramatic vistas that overwhelm our senses and the one of a kind road that ties it all together. We search for G1. Steep climbs, tight switchbacks, deep canyons and million dollar views. These roads have an undeniable appeal that set them apart from everything else.
G2 Rides
221 Routes
There are no stoplights or shopping malls here. G2 roads energetically flow from corner to corner gently bobbing and weaving. They meander past lakes, criss cross forests and provide an expereince you cant get on the freeway. Keep your head up. G2s can have fast sweepers, elevation change, tight corners and everything in between.
G3 Rides
266 Routes
G3 is not your average road. All though these stretches of tarmac require the fewest criteria to make the list , don't be fooled. G3 roads are twisty and exciting. Ditch the traffic and head toward a stretch of orange. You won't regret it.
Paved Mountain Trail Rides
91 Routes
Not all roads were meant to be paved - some got paved anyway. Stuck between the dust of a dirt road and the smooth asphalt of a paved one lies the Paved Mt Trail. These roads have stood the test of time fighting for space among dense forest and cliff sides. Their fragile surface crumbling as they succumb to the rugged terrain they divide. Finding space for two cars to pass can be hard. Finding enjoyment on a bike: easy.
Design Your Ride in Minutes
A Butler Map does more than just point out the best roads. They make it easy to plan your trip with a host of features built just for riders. Turn to the back of the map for detailed information on every G1 road recommended. There are elevation profiles, climate guides, motorcycle shop lists and even QR codes to link you to valuable information like where to sleep, where to eat or what to see when you're not on the bike.

STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
While playing with my two year old son, who was wearing footed pajamas, I had a thought concerning the STTMP uniforms.
Since the uniforms are more or less one piece maybe they could be used as emergency pressure suits with the addition of gloves and a helmet.
The corridors do have life support equipment in the wall lockers according to Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise. I do not think it is much of a stretch to imagine helmet/glove lockers in other locations.
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
Well, technically the TMP uniforms have stirrup pants over boots, so they're not airtight. Although theoretically they could've been designed to seal there and at the waist, I guess.
Pretty much all the uniform designs from TMP onward have used stirrup pants to keep the lines smooth, but have tailored the cuffs to look less like stirrup pants.
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
I was always under the impression that the boots were part of the pants based on the description but the idea of stirrup pants is preferable to the pajama concept. :lol:
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
Emergency pressure suits? Emergency jammies, more like! Excellent for those over-night landing party missions.
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
The suits wouldn't need to be airtight in order to provide pressure. Just tight. A little hole here or there would not matter much. Just add a separate means of protecting the face and the hands from the lack of pressure, and some source of breathing air, and voila.
In order to be useful as protection, these suits would also have to feature some sort of thermal regulation, though. But we already saw such a thing woven into the TOS uniforms, as per "Spock's Brain", so it's no doubt available in the TNG clothing as well (probably all clothing, including civilian attire).
But a separate helmet would be an absolute necessity in turning the standard uniform into a useful survival asset. And if one can reach a helmet locker, one could probably also reach another type of Star Trek gadget: the life support belt of TAS fame. Much more practical than mechanical helmets and tight pajamas in protecting you from vacuum...
Timo Saloniemi
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
Of course the life support belt could now be part of the the life support monitor belt buckle. :guffaw:
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
I bet it is. Would Kirk otherwise risk stepping out of his starship at the end of ST:TMP when his air supply was otherwise reliant on the whims of a childish machine?
I just wonder where the field generator went in the ST2-6 uniforms...
Timo Saloniemi
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
I am afraid to ask! :devil:
The TMP style does look more comfortable to me and I prefer it to the others. Apparently though, the uniforms and not nearly as comfortable as they appear.
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
I found a wiki link that states TMP shoes were built into the pant leg.
Excerpt below from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Tr...Motion_Picture

Navigator NCC-2120 USS Entente
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
I rather doubt that the uniforms -- even if they were made of the super duper materials cited above -- could serve as pressure suits. And even if they were, that doesn't mean they're space suits. Pressure suits were (and are) created for high-G flying, so that pilots don't black out. So what's the point in space, if we have nifty cancellation of inertia?
But let's say that they're all actually space suits, and that everyone has helmets at hand.
Umm . . . oxygen?
Re: STMP Uniforms as emergency pressure suit?
In a semi-conventional setup, I think the big bottleneck would be gloves. If the uniform is to provide vacuum survivability in an emergency, it's simple to don a survival helmet in a matter of seconds (provided one is handily available in a nearby locker), but it takes quite a while to get pressure gloves on, especially when pressure is lost. This regardless of whether the gloves provide pressure by virtue of being airtight (in which case they would require their own supply of air or other pressure gas) or simply tight. The act that is supposed to preserve one's manipulative abilities requires the very abilities! What to do? Pull the helmet on to preserve consciousness, only to find out one cannot pull on the gloves any more because the hands no longer work? Or pull on the gloves while one still can, only to succumb to loss of air, the pain in your ears, the pressure differential between your lungs and the environment?
If the gloves are made easily donnable with materials technology (say, they shrink in place automagically), one might just as well have the whole survival gear be made in this manner, and have it stashed in a locker, rather than force the user to wear an uncomfortably tight survival suit 24/7.

Indiana-based Standard for Success, an online, fully customizable educator evaluation and management software, will make its way into Knox Community School Corp.'s three schools this fall in Knox, Ind. They join more than 320 schools in nearly 60 Indiana school districts that are adopting technology to create a more streamlined and efficient teacher evaluation process that aligns with staff evaluation requirements evolving across the U.S.
The platform will go into effect for the 2013-14 school year. The district, which has 108 teachers, is able to meet the requirements of the Indiana Department of Education's (IDOE) more stringent teacher and principal evaluation model through Standard for Success' web-based portal accessible via a tablet or laptop. Standard for Success' software is completely mobile, which helps organize information electronically while also reducing paperwork.
"Our adaptability to any evaluation model sets us apart from other services, and we're seeing more and more districts – in and out of Indiana – join our program," said Todd Whitlock, co-founder of Standard for Success. "The customizable portal gives schools an advantage by allowing them to revamp their processes through the web, while also eliminating the outdated paper system and putting the focus back on classroom instruction and teacher effectiveness."
With its easy-to-use interface, Standard for Success' program allows for real-time evaluation of teachers while easing the burden on administrators through its diverse management features and archives. Teachers can chart professional development goals and division leadership can view school and division-wide summaries and drill down for specifics on particular groups – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Stinkbugs enjoy an invasive tree - and hitchhiking
"Heavy infestations seem to be associated with fields with wooded borders, especially if there are concentrations of the invasive weed Tree of Heaven," Herbert said. "Both are native to China and the (stink bug) seems to be strongly attracted to that host, especially when the trees are putting out their seed clusters. It's like a happy reunion."
The highest concentrations of the stink bugs have been found where the invasive plant is also found in high numbers, Herbert noted.
The Tree of Heaven, scientific name Ailanthus altissima, is also known as China-sumac, Paradise Tree, varnishtree and stinktree, was introduced to the United States around 1748 by a Pennsylvania gardener and has spread throughout the states.
For a time, the up to 80-foot tree was even sold commercially, and it is now prevalent in 42 states and is the most common non-native tree in the Shenandoah National Park, according to the park service.
"I have not seen any (area) farms that don't have that tree on it," Rockingham County agriculture extension agent Matt Yancey said. "It's gotten out of hand and become very problematic as an invasive."
It produces a toxin in its leaves and bark that inhibits the growth of other plants, and grows and spreads rapidly, Yancey said. It can survive in the harshest of conditions and is probably best known as the species of tree referenced in Betty Smith's famous novel, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."
"It's displaced a huge amount of our native trees," he said. "Most farmers I don't think are aware that control of the tree is possible over winter, and with the stink bugs (using it as a host) that's just another great reason to kill this tree."
While the tree's best use is as firewood, Yancey said, it resprouts vigorously when cut.
"Cutting is not a good idea if you don't immediately apply an herbicide to the base or stem," he said.
Herbicides containing triclopyr are effective if used immediately after cutting a tree down, and they are available for general use at many area retailers.
"You can do it in the dead of winter," Yancey said. "As long as the ground is not frozen and there's no snow on the ground."
The tree is identifiable during the winter months by large, thumb-nail size scars on the branches left from fallen leaves. It also, like the bug, is armed with a pungent aroma to ward off predators.
"People say it's like a rancid peanut butter or cashew smell," Yancey said. "I don't know what rancid peanut butter smells like, but (the tree) is pretty nasty."
Taking the trees out now, might help ward off the stink bugs later, Yancey and Herbert agreed.
"It's not an uncontrollable problem," Herbert said. "Taking out the Tree of Heaven will certainly help.
"There's no doubt (the stink bugs) like that tree."

Most of Justin Kozera?s wrestling opponents this year held a significant weight advantage when they faced him.
They never had a chance.
?I?ve been around the sport long enough to know that you develop a different style for each person that you wrestle,? Kozera said.
?Sometimes I tried to out-muscle my opponents, but usually I?d try to outthink them.?
Kozera won wrestling?s 285-pound state championship this year, after capturing the 215-pound title in 2010.
He finished with a perfect 40-0 record. Only six of his matches went the distance, with Kozera recording 34 pins.
He was the catalyst for Winters Mill?s first-ever state team wrestling crown ? and led his younger teammates with a winning attitude and a calm demeanor.
?I told our new kids to just calm down when we went there (to College Park),? said Kozera, whose 124-10 career record includes 110 pins. ?I knew they would have some jitters and be a little tight.
?To win an individual title, and then to see the team win it all, was amazing,? he said.
?Justin is like having another assistant coach,? said Falcon head coach John Lowe. ?He could immediately see how different personalities affected the team, who needed a push here and there, and who needed to work on technique.?
On his way to dominating the competition this year, Kozera surrendered just one point in 40 matches ? and that was in the state final. In 78 career varsity matches, Kozera gave up just 14 total points.
That?s unheard of.

I'll admit that Nashville is one of my secret guilty pleasures, mostly because I find Hayden Panettiere so deliciously scheming. She reminds me of…me! But I also enjoy gawking at sensitive good guy Gunnar Scott, aka British actor Sam Palladio. And if you feel similarly, check out a few snapshots from his latest shoot for Bello magazine…CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PICS!
"I got cast for the job having never been to America," Sam revealed. "Nashville is literally the first place I've seen or lived here [in the US.] Which I'm really pleased about, because Nashville is such a fantastic city, with this great creative music energy. Then there's that Southern hospitality, you can't beat that."
Want more Sam? You can see him opposite Justin Timberlake in their movie Runner, Runner. You can also catch him at The Bluebird Cafe…or right here darlings. XOXO.

The Prisoner

The Background and Contract
"The Prisoner" has just been captured behind enemy lines. "The Interrogator", via spy information, has been informed that "The Prisoner" knows the secret 3-word "pass-phrase" which will enable "The Interrogator's" side to break into "The Prisoner's side's banking system and steal 120 million dollars. Each of the 3 words will enable the theft of 40 million. "The Prisoner" knows that in only 90 minutes, his side will automatically change the "pass-phrase" rendering his now valuable knowledge useless to "The Interrogator". If "The Prisoner" can endure 90 minutes of tickle torture without giving away any of the "pass-phrase" he will save the day and be treated as a hero by his side. However, if "The Prisoner" reveals any or all of the 3 words in the "pass-phrase" he will be subjected to additional tickle-torture by his own side. The penalty for each word revealed is a full hour of non-stop tickling which will commence exactly 30 minutes following the initial 'interrogation.' If "The Prisoner" incurs any penalty tickle-torture time during the 'interrogation', he may escape his punishment by offering one of the following substitutions:
1) "The Prisoner" finds one or more substitute ticklish males (within 5 years of the age of "The Prisoner") who are willing to be bound and tickle-tortured in his place for the total penalty time (which may be divided among several ticklish men).
2) "The Prisoner" finds at least one other male (within 5 years of the age of "The Prisoner") who are willing to bind and tickle-torture "The Interrogator" for the total penalty time. The only requirements: "The Interrogator" may only be tickle-tortured in another apartment and must be tickled by at least 2 men ("The Prisoner" may be one of them).
I, "The Interrogator", ________, agree to do exactly the following to "The Prisoner" upon signing this contract:
I, "The Prisoner", _________, agree to have exactly the following done to me by "The Interrogator" upon signing this contract:
1.) I will order "The Prisoner" to remove his shirt (leaving his shoes and socks on) and to lie on the bed (face up) so that his feet dangle off the end. If "The Prisoner" resists even for a moment, I am to immediately remove the shirt and push him onto the bed.
2.) I will proceed to tie "The Prisoner's ankles securely to the foot of the bed. I will then proceed to tie "The Prisoner's wrists over his head exposing his armpits. The bondage must be secure enough so that "The Prisoner" cannot extricate himself from this position. Ask "The Prisoner" to attempt an escape from his bonds. Tighten them accordingly...
3.) Ask "The Prisoner" for the secret "pass-phrase" (The "pass-phrase" is "Manhattan Sucks Shit"). If he tells me he doesn't know it, I will tell him I don't believe him... I will give him another chance by asking him again..
If I still doesn't tell me, I will tell him that I am going to tickle-torture him until he gives me the "pass-phrase". If "The Prisoner" still doesn't give me the "pass-phrase", I will begin tickling him above the waist. I will be as cool and sadistic as I possibly can! No matter how much "The Prisoner" begs me to stop, I WILL NOT SHOW MERCY! I will continue tickling him for 5 minutes! After 5 minutes, I will stop and tell him to think about the situation...
4.) After a minute or so, I will ask "The Prisoner" again for the secret "pass-phrase". Casually, I will tell him that if he doesn't come up with it, the tickling will only get worse. I will blindfold him. (Note: Once he is blindfolded, then you may read from these notes.) I will tell "The Prisoner" that I am going to very slowly remove his shoes and socks. If he doesn't reveal the "pass-phrase" by the time both socks are removed then he will be tickled for 90 full minutes. I will tell him that once the tickling commences it will be non-stop unless one of the 3 words of the "pass-phrase" is revealed. Each time a word is revealed, a 2 minute break will be granted.
(2 minutes is long enough to enter the word into the computer and steal 40 million dollars)
5.) I will go to the foot of the bed and begin slowly undo-ing each shoelace...slowly removing each shoe and each sock...Once "The Prisoner's" feet are bare I will remind him that as he cannot pull his feet away, he will have to endure being tickled...For the last time I will ask "The Prisoner" for the "pass-phrase"...If he doesn't say "Manhattan Sucks Shit" I will begin tickling his feet, or his upper body ..I will Ignore all pleas to end the interrogation unless I hear all 3 words which make up the "pass-phrase", or when 90 minutes has expired (whichever comes first) If "The Prisoner" endures the entire 90 minutes without revealing even a single word of the "pass-phrase", then he is free to go on to hero-dom. If any or all of the "pass-phrase" is spoken, "The Prisoner" is then subject to the penalties or options for substitutions as outlined. Should "The Prisoner" choose one of the substitutions, he has one hour to make the a substitution happen, or be subject to immediate penalty tickle-torturing.
I, "The Interrogator" __________, agree to the above-mentioned

As you know, a domino tile has two numbers on it, from one to six. For the game, begin with a leisurely exploration of the bottom's ticklish regions until you identify six places that drive him totally wild. Rank the spots as best you can from least to most ticklish, one through six. Then put all the dominos into a container and begin drawing. The bottom gets a choice each time, there being no way to tell one end of the tile from the other.

Rat snakes are a large, polyphyletic, group of snakes from the Colubrid subfamily Colubrinae. Many species tend to be very skittish and sometimes aggressive but the genus is nonvenomous and bites are usually superficial. A variety of species like Elaphe guttata guttata are known for the ease with which they are tamed and are common in the pet trade. There is considerable variation between different types of rat snake but most are medium to large, rodent eating snakes.
Previously most were assigned to the genus Elaphe but many have been since renamed. The validity of some genera is debatable but for the purpose of this article a more liberal taxonomic stance will be taken. Rat snakes have traditionally been divided into two groups, New World and Old World species.
Examples of snakes found in the Elaphe include:
New World rat snakes belong to the Colubrine tribe Lampropeltinae, and as such are closely related to Lampropeltis (milk snakes and king snakes), Pituophis ([snake]s, pine snakes and bull snakes), Rhinocheilus (longnose snakes), Arizona (glossy snakes) and Stilosoma (short-tailed snakes). The entire Lampropeltinid group is descended from Old World rat snakes that crossed the Bering Land Bridge sometime within the last twenty to thirty million years.
The New World rat snakes consist of the genera Bogertophis (Trans Pecos and Baja rat snakes), Elaphe (Corn snakes, Fox snakes and American rat snakes), Pseudelaphe (Central American rat snake) and Senticolis (Green rat snake).
The Genera Elaphe, Euprepiophis, Oreophis, Orthriophis, Ptyas, Rhinechis, and Zamenis constitute Old-World rat snakes. See also: Persian Ratsnake

Creating portfolio, need suggestions for sub categories.
I know this is the lamest topic title ever. Im gathering my pieces to create a portfolio. I have pieces from photos (commercial to personal) illustrations (mostly personal) , graphics (logo to whatever sub category there is) and animations.
My problem is, in case of Illustrations, i know just posting my personal pieces will simply wont cut it. So i would like to know what illustration portfolios should contain. Can you name the sub categories such as anatomical studies to environmental etc.
I also dont want to put everything within my portfolio. So i would really appreciate if you can point out the reasons why these sub categories should be implemented. What would be the benefit if i can provide such pieces.
Thanks a lot.
Edit: I want to work as an concept artist. But im realistic, in a way i would rather set my goal on entering as a " junior position ".

Not that I'm the expert, but...
I don't really see what you're asking. If you want to be a concept artist then why put illustrations in your portfolio? That won't be part of your job. You should probably focus on making categories like, "characters," "creature design," and "enviroments".
And what's wrong with your personal pieces?

June 24th, 2011 #3
Well thanks ive noted the categories you mentioned.
Its not that there are something wrong with them imho. But i think there should be some expectations met while browsed. Meaning what i draw as personal is something i think is ok for my self. But if a director of a studio would look to a portfolio, he/she might not be in to the stuff that im in to. He/she would rather be looking for techniques i guess. So im expecting suggestions on what sort of presentations would strengthen my portfolio.
June 24th, 2011 #4
Concept art portfolios should have a clear understanding of environment, character, creature and hardware design. That means turn arounds for the last three, and some thmbnails to finish to show process. A couple of personal pieces to show your range is okay but mostly they want to see your skill level. So if you can't do those things well, then you won't get the job.
June 24th, 2011 #5
@ dpaint
Thank you very much. Thats one of the answer i was looking for. If there are any tip that anyone can share with me regarding these categories, i would be thankfull.
Like say, is there any downfalls i should avoid while working on any of these sections.? Is there any "must have" pieces that i should include in to my portfolio?
thank you
June 24th, 2011 #6
Make sure every piece is as good as the others. If you suck at characters then don't include them. While its better to do a lot of things well. If you aren't good at a lot of things, then put in what you do well and leave the other stuff out. Really, its about how well you draw and paint and how good your ideas are. Don't try to second guess too much.
Have enough stuff to show you love the process but make sure they are all top notch.

listen they are out and being sold by international vendors all over south Am and Europe so when you know what your talking about then respond. the problem is that they are in limited distribution. thats why i asked for quantity!
Go troll in Vivo or Orange country for the things, then. This is primarily a North American site, and neither one of these handsets are out in these markets yet. When they are, TRUST me, you'll know it. Anyway, it's VERY likely that handsets destined for the US market will not work properly, if at all, in South America.

Economics of Climate Change Lecture Series
Wednesday, April 3, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (EDT)
Towards 2020:
A New Direction in Europe's Climate Change Policy
Artur Runge-Metzger
Director, European Commission's Climate Action Directorate of The European Union
While the European community has worked to find a path towards economic stability and growth, the continent's financial crises have also served as a distraction from needed climate and energy policies. The EU has long been a driving force in international negotiations on climate change, and is now taking part in the second phase of the Kyoto Protocol running from 2013 to 2020. On January 1st, the European Union (EU) stepped forward to lead the movement for needed adaptation policies, including carbon pricing and renewables, by adopting its "20-20-20" package. The new program sets European-wide targets for 2020, includes environmental targets that build on the Kyoto Protocol, and impacts sectors falling under both the EU emissions trading system and renewable energy.
On April 3, the EU's Director of the European Commission's Climate Action Directorate, Artur Runge-Metzger, will discuss the newly adopted program as part of SCEPA's lecture series on the Economics of Climate Change. Within the EU, the Commission leads the effort to meet its 2020 targets, is responsible for international negotiations on climate, and implements the EU Emissions Trading System.
