PCE Group testa his instruments in Antarctica
December 24, 2007
Were astronomical, geographical and ornithological and environmental experiments with great success due to teams as for ozone measuring instruments, measuring for PH instruments, instruments of measure to ultraviolet light, instruments of measurement for air, radiation monitors, etc.
Antarctica is a natural laboratory that maintains certain properties in relation to the origin of the Earth and the Solar system intact. It is not new to highlight the role of the Antarctic ice (thanks to the air microbubbles have been trapped on the various strata) in the estimate of the various climate changes (ice ages) that took place on the Earth's surface over time.
Something that contributes particularly to climate change is the excessive greenhouse (CO2 emissions) and the scarcity of ozone in the upper atmosphere allowing the passage of dangerous life UV radiation, which has been fueled - in part - by the high human industrial activity in the last few decades. Even so, naturally, have always been and will be changes affected by the other cyclical movements (precession and nutation) that records the Earth as a planet with respect to its inclination with respect to the Sun, as well as the inherent cyclicality and evolution in the long term of its atmosphere, climatecurrent marine and accidents external type impact by an asteroid.

Sadam Ali Returns to Ring on Undercard
Fight fans are now less than two weeks out from a title defense by IBF International and NABO Heavyweight Champion Tomasz Adamek (42-1, 27 KOs), who will be facing Queens native Vinny Maddalone (33-6, 24 KOs) on December 9th at Prudential Center. Also returning to action on the fight's undercard is fast rising welterweight Sadam Ali (10-0, 6 KOs) when he puts his perfect professional record on the line against Manuel Guzman (7-9-2, 3 KO's).
"I've been training hard for seven weeks with (trainer) Roger (Bloodworth)," Adamek said at a recent media workout. "I'm ready to fight. If I am quick, I can beat everybody."
Bloodworth has been focused upon increasing the speed of an already quick Adamek in the training for this bout, and he feels that his Polish heavyweight is already striking faster in this camp.
"He's a little more relaxed when he's throwing his punches, so he's faster," Bloodworth remarked. "His foot movement is a little bit better than it was. He's getting a little bit better each camp. The only way you get more pop in your punch is with speed. He's coming along. He's doing it here."
This fight marks the fourth in what has been a busy year for Adamek, who scored decision wins in 2010 over Jason Estrada, Chris Arreola and most recently against Michael Grant in August. Usually at a distinct height disadvantage since stepping up to the heavyweight division, the Polish sensation stands about a half-inch taller than Maddalone. The New Yorker last stepped into the ring in March when he scored a TKO victory against Dominique Alexander in Atlantic City, and the Irish brawler admits that the odds are stacked against him in this pairing.
"I know I am the underdog, and that is fine with (me)," Maddalone stated. "I have been the underdog throughout much of my career. It motivates me. It pushes me in my training. I know I am going to be entering into very hostile territory come fight night. I know I am going up against the sea of red and white, but I know by the end of the fight, there are going to be more than a few of those Polish fans that turn into Vinny Maddalone fans. It's going to be a great and exciting night."
Tickets for Adamek-Maddalone are on sale now, and they can be purchased by calling TicketMaster at 800-745-3000 or logging onto the Prudential Center website at www.Prucenter.com.

During the last years long distance mountain flights have demonstrated the longtimes underestimated potential of ridge winds. Due to this, and following the positive experiences with TherMap, the meteorological section of OSTIV also expressed an interest in ridge wind maps. WindMap is attempting to provide an answer to this.
Position the cursor on the picture on
the left and you can see a map extract of WindMap, a tool for glider
pilots, to visualize the local potential of ridge winds for a given
wind direction, assuming no other meteorological interferences or mountain
waves. The WindMap picture also contains an actual flight track showing
the flight phases with climbing (blue) and sinking (white) phases.
Before the flights WindMap allows you
to study the best itineraries, or to explain them to less experienced
pilots, particularly across less known regions. After the flight, you
may superimpose your flight tracks on these maps, typically IGC-files,
to find out where you might have followed more promising paths. The
maps may also be imported as raster maps into certain flight analysis
What is new in WindMap 1.06 ?
The consideration of large scale wind channeling effects remains an area of interest, but this should be treated as a separate project. Otherwise this might impair the easy interpretation of the present maps.
a. Simple ridge wind maps
b. Maps considering channelled ridge winds
In the simple model the wind deflection is calculated independently for each surface element. In practice this is only partly valid, namely when adjacent surface elements have the same spacial orientation. However if wind blows up a narrowing valley, the air flow tends to be compressed and hence the wind normally accelerated. In the present, refined model, such compression effects have been considered over a local distance of about 400 meters. This has led to more pronounced maps, as can be seen when moving the cursor over the picture of the simple model below. The refined method has therefore been used for all maps offered on this site..
a. Selecting the right maps
b. Limitations of the WindMap approach
c. How to read the maps
South foehn near Innsbruck, Austria: WindMap 3D-view für 195° wind, with Variometer flighttrack (reproduced with SeeYou©)
d. Preflight and in-flight use of maps
e. Post-flight analysis using the maps
Example with foehn blowing from the South
near Innsbruck. For better contrast flight phases with significant ridge
winds are shown in blue.
Select for the desired country region (Switzerland, French Alps, Austria, Pyrenees, North Apennine, Central Apennine) the field with the wind directions nearest to those of the flight (about 4-6 Mb per JPG map). Then either
A 3D view may facilitate the perception of a given wind situation, as illustrated by this example. Users having installed Google Earth© on their computer can generate such perspectives themselves.
WindMap is based on the same topographic data (SRTM) as Google Earth. A simple click links all WindMap files with Google Earth. In order to avoid a significant loss in image resolution, the original charts have been cut into tiles of 2 square degrees which are referred to at the lowest level of the Google selection tree. Therefore the selection hierarchy looks as follows
WindMap-3D > Region > Region+Wind direction> Tile (coordinates of lower left corner)
It is crucial to avoid maing selections above "Region+Wind Direction", to prevent Google to superimpose pictures with different wind direction.
The selctions appear as overlays on the Google screen. Picture transparency is set at 35 percent, but may be adjusted manually (right click on selection tile field > click on "Properties" > use transparency slider on top).
For Google Earth or software for flight simulations in Google Earth using IGC flight recordings please consult references 8 and 9.
Accessing the internet through a high speed line is not always possible. It may then be simpler to access the maps directly on a CD. In Switzerland and the EU the CD is delivered against pre-payment. For this purpose you can send TherMap an order by E-mail with the following indications:
The development of WindMap, like TherMap, has also been the result of intensive information exchange with experts and experienced pilots, because the models represent only partly physical processes, the other part being rather models of the perception of experienced pilots. For any new region to be addressed it would therefore be crucial to have such competent and experienced counterparts to properly adjust and validate the models, if necessary. With such help from colleages of new territories it would however be a pleasure to extend the scope of WindMap beyond the present regions.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions,
you are welcome to write to TherMap/WindMap by e-mail.

Book of life and the "Lambs book of life"
Question: "Is there a difference between the book of life and the Lamb's book of life?"
Answer:There are eight references in New Testament to the "book of life," and two of them refer specifically to the book of life that belongs to the Lamb,
Paul refers to those who have labored alongside him as those whose names are in the book of life (Philippians 4:3), again identifying the book of life as a record of the names of those who have eternal salvation. In the same way, Revelation 3:5 refers to the book of life in which the names of believers in the Lord are found. These are those who overcome the trials of earthly life, proving that their salvation is genuine. This verse also makes it clear that once a name is written in the book of life, Jesus promises that He will never blot it out, proving once more the doctrine of eternal security. The Lord Jesus, who is speaking to the churches in this part of Revelation, promises to acknowledge his own before His Father. Conversely, Revelation 20:15 reveals the fate of those whose names are not written in the book of life—eternity in the lake of fire.
In Revelation 13:8 and 21:27, we find the references to the "Lamb's book of life," in which also are the names of all those who have been washed by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. The Lamb who has been "slain from the creation of the world" has a book in which are written all those who have been redeemed by His sacrifice. They are the ones who will enter the Holy City, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:10) and who will live forever in heaven with God. Since the book of life is that which
Read more:https://www.gotquestions.org/Lambs-book-of-life.html#ixzz2oJqekTdw
I have always read in the Bible about the ones of God and of Jesus being one and the same, so how can the Book of Life and the Lambs book of life be two separate books? Let's use me as an example I am first a daughter, wife, mother, author, and evangelist, but yet I am one person. Could I not have two or more separate books with names in it? Then how hard is it for Cod to have one called the book of life and another called the "Lamb's book of life?"

Homemade Sushi Prepared Easy
by VERGE Staff | Food and Home | Thursday, May 26, 2016
We know that sushi is a popular choice for a night out with friends or for a romantic date night. But we also know good sushi can break the bank. If you're looking for a way to indulge your sushi cravings while sticking to your monthly budget, surimi (otherwise referred to as imitation crabmeat) may be the way to go.
According to Louis Kemp Crab Delights, surimi is a fully cooked Japanese seafood ingredient that's a great introduction for those new to sushi. Made from premium wild Alaskan Pollock – a highly-sustainable whitefish – and real snow crab, surimi is a good source of protein and is more cost effective than cuts of raw seafood.
So, if you make the choice to cook at home, but still have a penchant for customization, surimi allows you to skip the pricey sushi restaurant and instead create your own unique sushi at home.
Try the following sushi recipe by blogger Nicole Harris of Wonky Wonderful. You can enjoy these Homemade California Roll Sushi Stacks with friends, family or on a date.
Homemade California Roll Sushi Stacks
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
2 cups cooked sushi rice, divided
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
pinch of salt
1 large (28-ounce) can or round food mold
2 avocados, peeled and chopped, divided
1 cup cucumber, peeled and chopped, divided
2 cups Louis Kemp Crab Delights surimi seafood, chopped, divided
2 teaspoons lemon, finely chopped, divided
4 teaspoons sesame seeds, divided
4 individual size seaweed sheets, torn into bite-size pieces, divided
Spicy Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
Prepare rice according to package instructions.
Mix together rice vinegar, sugar and salt, and pour over cooked rice. Gently toss to coat.
Prepare can by removing contents, removing top and bottom with can opener then cleaning thoroughly. A round food mold will also work.
Place can upright on flat plate and hold firmly in place while layering ingredients.
Press 1/2 cup cooked rice in bottom of can. Follow with 1/2 cup avocado, 1/4 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup chopped surimi seafood and 1/2 teaspoon chopped lemon. Use the back of a spoon to firmly press ingredients down to ensure sushi stack stays together.
Top with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and 1 sheet of seaweed.
Gently pull can up to remove.
Repeat process to create three more sushi stacks.
To prepare spicy sauce, mix mayo, Sriracha and soy sauce until incorporated.
Serve sushi stacks with drizzle of spicy sauce, if desired, and soy sauce.

Okay, now on to today's sketch challenge:
My card for this week:
I opted to go for clean & simple punch art! Isn't this bunny's behind adorable? And so simple to create.
First I embossed the "Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Folder" about an inch from the bottom and added a string of "3/8" Pink Pirouette Satin Ribbon" at the top of the embossing. I also added "Pearl Jewels" to adorn the embossing.
The bunny's behind starts out with a "Whisper White Cardstock" circle cut with the "1 3/4" Circle Punch" and I sponged "Basic Gray Ink" on the outside with a "Sponge Dauber". I glued my circle in position using "Stampin' Dimensionals".
I then cut (2) "Whisper White Cardstock" pieces using the "Large Oval Punch". I sponged the edges of both pieces. Using the "Cupcake Punch", punch out the trio of confetti twice to create the digital pads for each paw using "Pink Pirouette Cardstock". Glue both paws onto the body using "Stampin' Dimensionals". For the tail I tore a partial piece of cotton from a cotton ball and smooshed it in the palm of my had to make it round. I glued that in place with a "Stampin' Dimensional" also.
Stamp the sentiment and add a solo "Pearl Jewel" near the sentiment! Your next stop should be to visit Create with Connie & Mary to be inspired by the designer's creations! Did you get a chance to visit Connie & Mary on Preview days this week.

MINI Clubman (2016–)
Last updated 5 February 2019
Classic, Sport and Exclusive are new styles, each offering increased standard specification and a shortcut to a distinctive interior and exterior character of their choice. The range starts with Classic....
It might still have two 'barn' doors for accessing the boot, but that's about the only thing the new MINI Clubman has in common with its predecessor.
Instead of a quirky yet compromised estate, the new Clubman is more like a conventional small family car, with the added bonus of a luxurious interior. In fact, despite the estate car styling the Clubman is actually around the same size as an Audi A3 Sportback.
One thing the Clubman has done is moved upmarket. It feels more grown up than the rest of the MINI range, with a different dashboard layout, subtle chrome details and unique vents. There are also some really luxurious upholstery finishes, including the option of blue quilted leather that wouldn't look out of place in a much pricier vehicle.
Standard equipment is generous, with alloy wheels, navigation, Bluetooth and keyless start fitted to all cars. Being a MINI there are plenty of optional extras of course, including a wide choice of paint and roof colours, stripes, alloy wheel designs, interior upholstery finishes and bundles of extras including the popular Chili pack.
It's easy to get carried away with the MINI configuration tool and to add thousands of pounds to the price of a Clubman, but somehow even examples with everything but the proverbial kitchen sink fitted manage not to feel overpriced. The testament to the Clubman's genuinely upmarket, luxurious and special cabin.
Whether a fancy cabin and twin rear doors are enough to pull buyers away from the Audi A3 Sportback and Mercedes-Benz A-Class will come down to personal preference.
But if you've always wanted a MINI and found the rest of the range a little too tight for space, the Clubman is perfect. It competes well with the competition on price and standard equipment, plus it's good to drive, comfortable and practical enough for a family. In fact we think it's the best of the current MINI crop.

RFTA's new compressed natural gas facility.
Governor Hickenlooper joined numerous local agencies Wednesday in launching Roaring Fork Transportation Authority's (RFTA) new compressed natural gas (CNG) facility in West Glenwood. The CNG fueling station is part of RFTA's first rural bus rapid transit system project, called VelociRFTA, which was touted at the event as the first rural bus rapid transit service in the nation. Compressed natural gas will fuel four CNG buses in RFTA's regular fleet, and the entire VelociRFTA fleet of eighteen buses, which will begin service in the fall of 2013.
RFTA's use of compressed natural gas diversifies its fuel sources, which also include hybrids and biodiesel. As natural gas is a domestic fuel, it is more stable in pricing and availability. RFTA expects the use of compressed natural gas to help keep commuting costs affordable for local workers and to ensure transportation security in the Roaring Fork Valley.
The Aspen Strategy Center and the Clean Energy Economy for the Region (CLEER) worked to help RFTA discover the viability of CNG as part of the VelociRFTA bus rapid transit project. The Colorado Energy Office then assisted RFTA in getting Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds to help finance this element of the project. The governor's office has been a strong supporter of CNG use as an alternative fuel.
RFTA transports more than four million commuters annually, and serves parts of Garfield, Eagle and Pitkin counties. Six of Garfield County's fleet vehicles operate on CNG. These vehicles currently are fueled in Rifle, previously the site of the only commercial CNG fueling station in the county. Garfield County will soon be working with RFTA on the terms of an intergovernmental agreement, which would allow the county to fuel its vehicles in Glenwood. Garfield County supports commuters to and from western Garfield County by funding the Hogback RFTA route, and also helps fund The Traveler, free transportation for the county's senior citizens.

This nondescript building is the office of two dwarves, Gravlet Truther and Kip Trathis, who maintain and operate a mining and excavation enterprise out of it. The pair are notoriously spendthrift with their money, and refuse to pay anyone else to do work that they can't do themselves.
The company usually has a variety of operations in process at any given time, and currently are working on reopening the Zolurket Mines (despite the rumors of undead there), and excavating the region around the Crouching Jackal. They claim to have come across an ancient scroll depicting other structures around the statue, and think that their excavation efforts will reveal other lost structures buried beneath the sand.
The truth behind the Zolurket Mines operation is that it is, in fact, haunted by the two dwarves' dead business partner, Tibbler Rocksledge, abandoned decades ago to a mummy attack when the trio was first exploring the mines. The ghost of Tibbler haunts the mines in anticipation of the return of Truther and Trathis, who have returned several times searching for rich platinum deposits buried there.
The current mining operation is their most ambitious to date: they've employed diggers to tunnel through the rock around their ghostly foe, but the work goes slowly and the two dwarves are growing more and more frustrated. They are ready to hire a group of specialize ghost hunters to take out Tibbler permanently, despite the extra costs and hassle involved in employing adventurers. What they haven't realized is that the only way to permanently destroy the ghost is to satisfy its need to bring the pair to justice.[1]

Bladder outlet obstruction
We are using bladder muscle cells, as well as the whole bladder removed from its host animal, as models. We are testing these models using various stimuli including mechanical stretching or decreased oxygen levels to stress the bladder and observe how specific genes and proteins are affected. Once we unravel the key components that regulate the undesirable changes in the bladder, we can target these components for prevention of specific bladder diseases in children. As it happens, several of these paediatric bladder ailments affect adults. It is anticipated that our studies will have useful implications for the treatment and prevention of similar bladder dysfunction later in life.
We have determined that mechanical stretching of the bladder, as well as decreased oxygen tension is a potent stimulus for the activation of ERK MAP kinase. This signaling pathway may be involved in physiologic fibroproliferative bladder response to excessive pressure and tension.
We have also demonstrated that damaged extracellular matrix, proteolysed collagen, is a powerful growth stimulus for bladder smooth muscle cells, and that this growth response is also mediated by ERK1/2, STAT3 and S6K/mTOR.
Since matrix remodeling in vivo involves a cascade of enzymes which proteolyse the collagen matrix, we have gone on to determine that the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are involved both directly in ERK1/2 activation as well as indirectly in generating a damaged extracellular environment in vivo. Our goal is to elucidate the functional cell-matrix relationships between MMPs and signaling in the bladder and to target these responses to prevent tension/pressure induced fibrosis and bladder wall hypertrophy associated with bladder failure.
These investigations will also provide a basis for rational design of tissue engineering strategies for bladder and other organ replacement.


text: 9-24-12 Posted on September 24, 2012 08:20 Do you stay up to date with the rules of your sport? What rule changes have taken place in the last year or two? The IHSAA sends out the rule revisions and rule books to each coach before the start of their season and also posts them at ihsaa.org. The main reason to become familiar with the rules is not to try and circumvent them, but instead, knowing what you can and can't do in order to become a better athlete and teammate. Teams usually go over all new rule changes before the start of each season, and in most cases, with a certified official. However, it's your responsibility as a student-athlete to embrace the challenge of knowing them and how to apply them to your sport. Posted in: Tip of the Week Tweet Share: E-mail | Permalink | |

5 Tips for Getting Starting with MSBuild for CruiseControl
Create a Separate Project File
Leave your solution and .*proj files untouched and create a new .proj file for you continuous integration build process. This will keep these generated files 100% generated. Furthermore, I believe this gives you more control in your build script development.
Start Simple
Don't try to construct the end-all-be-all build script in the first pass. Do just enough and nothing more. Like cooking, it's easier to add ingredients than make corrections later.
Execute Locally Before Deploying
Open up an SDK command prompt:
C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe /k "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0Binsdkvars.bat"
Then change paths to your build file and execute the MSBuild.exe command in this console as you write your build script. This will allow for a much quicker write-save-test cycle than if you were to write-save-deploy-test on the CruiseControl server.
Write a Meta Build Script First
Before getting started on your first build script, decide what you want to do and write out the steps. This will give you a point of reference should you end up too far down some path along the way so you can pull back out and stay focused on what you are trying to accomplish. There are many different options and ways to do things with MSBuild and this is easy to do, especially when starting out. A typical meta build script might look like:
1. Compile Solution 2. Copy all compilation output to a common output directory 3. Archive this output to a single zip 4. Create a new directory with the build number on a network share intended for hosting build results. 5. Move this archive to the new directory.
Separate Common Tasks into Targets
As you script out the necessary tasks to accomplish your Meta Build Script goals, you'll likely notice common task functionality (Copying Output and Creating an Archive, for example could be a single target). Pull these out and parameterize them with the use of properties and put them in there own common *.targets file. The format of this file is simply:
This will give you the ability to reuse much of your work in other build scripts for different solutions/projects.

Crime Fighting Heroes of Television
The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!
Superheroes and characters who fight crime by extraordinary means have populated the television airwaves from the beginning. This broad-ranging reference contains a trove of information on shows featuring such characters as Superman and Black Scorpion to programs like The A-Team and Knight Rider. Regular police and detective shows have been excluded. Alphabetical entries on 125 network, cable and syndicated series broadcast from 1949 to 2001, plus 26 pilot films, deliver information about story premises, characters, and myriad elements that add flavor and interest to the shows, as well as cast listings and broadcast data. A handy index of performers is included as well as appendices listing the crime fighting superheroes and machines that appear in the programs.

This is one of my favorite kitchen decor items. But it's just a lid you say! Yes, but not just any lid, an English transferware stoneware lid that is so much more than just that. Many times when you are antiquing you come across lone lids from vintage and antique tureens and casseroles. They are usually very affordable and they don't really need to be in perfect condition for this use. I have in the past, and do from time to time in the shop, attached these beautiful, colorful stoneware or china lids to the wall with a plate or platter hanger. Then I hang a cafe curtain ring over the lid handle and hang a kitchen towel from the clip. You have a very pretty towel holder for the kitchen that the towel does not fall off of! You can use any lid that matches your decor and a curtain ring in the finish of your kitchen hardware. This lid was a find from my August road trip and I will be hanging it in the pantry at Le Potager. This is a great way to repurpose an antique and add a unique piece to your kitchen.
My passion, after my family of course, is Treasure Hunting. The simple beauty of things from by-gone eras have always spoken to me. Whether these treasures are found at a flea market, fine antique store, estate sale, thrift shop, or in the family attic, surprises abound.
As an interior designer, I believe it is vital to balance your decor by including found and family treasures. Surrounding yourself with things you love should always be the goal, from there you will find your true style.
As I shop, I may have a client in mind or I may want to resell at our french flea market or in my shop. I am lucky to have several outlets for my treasures including my own home! I plan to share my searching, hunting, travels, and treasures with you and encourage you to enjoy adding your treasures to your home.

At VGH we launched an ERAS program for colorectal surgery in November 2013. This was done by creating a multidisciplinary team for which I have been the Anesthesia lead. Standardized pre-printed preoperative and postoperative orders where created as well as a standardized care pathway. We track preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative process measures, pre operative HbA1c, perioperative glucometers, and 30 day NSQIP outcomes, and length of stays.
ERAS protocols have since been developed for radical cystectomy cases in October 2014, and open and laparoscopic major gynecology oncology cases in October of 2016. We are launching ERAS protocols for liver resections and pancreatic resections in February 2018.
Suggested anesthesia protocols have been created with regard to fluid management, and recommendations regarding which patients would benefit from goal directed fluid therapy with the use of stroke volume variation monitoring. Multimodal analgesia with the use of at least two non-opioid modalities is expected for all ERAS cases, as well adequate postoperative nausea and vomitting prophylaxis based on the patient APFEL risk score. All patients are actively pre-warmed, and then warmed with forced air heaters in the operating room. All patients have standardized orders around perioperative glycemic control.
We are currently working on an pre-habilation/optimization program with the focus on recognition and treatment of iron deficiency anemia prior to surgery through our Perioperative Blood Management Program. In addition we are currently ordering HbA1c on all ERAS patients to detect undiagnosed diabetic patients, and to identify patients who require improved glycemic control prior to the OR date. Through our patient education booklets we are promoting empowering patients in Self Management and S.M.A.R.T goals with respect to smoking cessation, exercising and improved nutrition, as well as relaxation techniques to deal with stress. We are in the early stages of starting to screen for fraility as well.

Football News: Manchester City v Liverpool - A Liverpool Perspective
Image from:
Manchester City v Liverpool
That game was not good for my heart. I had a feeling before it kicked off Klopp would try something similar to what he actually did, as it was clear at the weekend that City were doing what Pep's teams always do at the end of the season, fading. I had said from the start of the season that all teams had to do was stay close to them in the early part of the season as they would fall off at the end when they run out of legs. Sadly no one did that in the Premier League, so that is gone to them, but crunch time in the Champions League is always the same for Pep.
They did start the game really well, were clearly fired up for revenge, and that stupid schoolboy error from van Dijk so early on gave them hope. Oddly, one of the stats sites I was looking at to check them from the game did not list that as an error leading to a goal, when it definitely was. And it nearly cost Liverpool badly. However they really did not do much else in the half, in terms of genuine chances created other than the disallowed goal. It was mostly long range efforts. They might well have scored one or two on another day, but a defensive unit sets out to try and restrict opponents to long range shots, so they did their job.
There were four things that stood out for me, other than the goals, as worth discussing. Firstly, Mane slipped into Otamendi, rather than tackled him and was unlucky to get his booking, but Ederson's reaction was a red card all day long. The ridiculous shoves on Mane, repeated shoves, have to be a red under the rules. He was clearly trying to provoke Mane into reacting and it was a terrible decision by an awful ref to merely book him. Weak refereeing as he just did not want to ruin the game and end it there, even though he must know it has to be a red going by the laws of the game.
Secondly their disallowed goal was another mistake by the ref, though I think he is being harshly judged for his error in this case. Sane was not offside because the ball came off Milner (though you could argue Milner did not deliberately play the ball in which case Sane would still be off, personally I think he did though) but the ref probably could not see that from where he is. The linesman was too busy making sure to look for offsides and cannot be expected to see who it came off, just that Sane was in an offside position when it was played. However, what on earth was the guy on the goal-line doing? In fact, what on earth do those guys ever do? Have they ever been of any use?
Pep's sending off is the next talking point. I can see why he is angry, but he has deliberately set out to antagonise the referee even before kick off, slagging him off very publicly in the media. Hard to have sympathy when he then sends you to the stands for flapping your gums again. Guardiola has shown some really significant moments of having a terrible attitude this season. His arrogance has been astonishing at times. This was another of those moments. I understand his anger, it was a bad decision, but there is no way he could have known that from where he was. So why not wait and have a look at half time, then use it to drive the players on? Instead he became a distraction, an excuse even, for the players to lose focus and direction in the second half.
Finally there has to be questions asked of the decision to book van Dijk for being kicked in the head, deliberately, by Sterling. It was a clear and nasty kick out which could have done a serious injury, yet somehow the referee saw fit to book van Dijk. The look on his face afterwards, when he had that 'worlds against me' look only to look over and spot Aguero was coming on for City at that moment. That was a priceless moment.
One more thing, the away fans were fantastic. Well done to all who travelled, though I did fear for my sanity at one point during the build up, as they were discussing the game and I could hear in the background: "we conquered all of Europe, we're never going to stop, from Paris down to Turkey, we've won the...." and so on. I thought the song had just got into my head completely until they did a quick scan round the ground, which showed the Liverpool section were already there belting out the song so loud it was constantly in the background of the TV coverage!
Klopp - he has definitely got in Pep's head. Guardiola is so wound up when facing Klopp he loses it and Klopp knows it. The strategy worked out perfectly, let them run themselves out in the first half then give them hell in the second. Once Salah scored their heads dropped and their play became disjointed and it was never in doubt from that moment. The whole City crowd just gave up.
Karius - was not his best performance. I think he was trying too hard as he was not relaxed enough with his kicking and kept pulling the kick to one side or the other. Understandable when you remember it is the first time he has played at City's home ground since he left there as a youngster. Overall he did not play badly, kept it calm, slowed the game down and followed his instructions well, it is just that his kicks were not as accurate as usual a lot of the time. He was put under a fair bit of pressure in the first half, so that did not help either.
Alexander-Arnold - up until he got his yellow card he was struggling badly and was being badly exposed by the City team doubling and tripling up down his flank. Somehow he seemed to improve once he got the card and played much better after that. Overall it was a decent enough performance in the end, despite the very poor start.
Lovren - potentially he was man of the match. Once again he took responsibility for everything, never stopped to complain about being fouled, never waited for someone else to come deal with things, just dealt with it and then got into place for the next attack. His blocks on long shots may well have been the difference. Lovren did what a defender should do when the team is under pressure, cleared his lines and gave everyone time to get back in position, though his passing stats must have been terrible because of it.
van Dijk - when he bothers he is an excellent defender, his head was on the end of a lot of the City corners, clearing them. The problem is that he is far too ready to throw his hands up and complain or just stroll around not putting in the effort. The City goals being a case in point. It was not just that he would rather complain than play, it was that he let it override common sense. When he realised he was not getting the free kick, there was Robertson in front of him to play the ball to or he could put the ball into touch to turn round and argue with the ref, if he really feels that was necessary.
However, what he did was the one thing you should never, ever do. You do not pump the ball aimlessly into the centre of the pitch, while you are miles out of position with no chance of anyone covering you. It was rank amateur schoolboy idiocy. He got away with it last night, but he has to learn the basics, play to the whistle and clear your lines or pick a pass, not throw a childish strop. Other than that he had a good game and was incredibly unlucky to get booked for being booted in the head by cash money $terling.
Robertson - was one of his headless chicken performances. Lots of running around but very little achieved other than a few sliced clearances and one cross to no one. His energy out there did make it difficult for them to really get any joy down his flank though.
Oxlade-Chamberlain - another of the contenders for man of the match. He was everywhere last night, breaking up play, getting forward to support attacks and he had a couple of shots too. Gave the defence a breather or two as well running with the ball. Excellent game.
Milner - that's a few games in a row now he has been excellent. You can always rely on him trying, but sometimes the quality is not there as he gets caught up in the moment and allows himself to stray out of position and get caught. The last few games he has not been doing that so much and he is a much better player for it. Odd to say it, but he ran too much at times, now he is running about a little less and the team is benefitting.
Wijnaldum - abysmal first half. Just shocking. The game completely passed him by. There were a number of times that either Milner or Oxlade-Chamberlain had to run past where he was to close down an opponent, while he just stood watching or picking his nails or what ever it was he was doing. It was only when they ran past him he reacted, like it woke him up and he suddenly realised he should have been closing down then. You could see the jolt in his movement as he thought 'oh bollox I should have done that'. That first half performance was one of the worst I have ever seen in a Liverpool shirt, it was like playing with ten men.
Second half he came out more positive, made a couple of runs with the ball, but he still does not do enough for my liking. The game was there for him to take by the scruff of the neck and really go and drive at City. They could not cope with him, but he soon settled back into just doing enough. It is maddening because he has so much more to his game than he uses.
Salah - what more can be said about Salah? He has been incredible all season long and shows no sign of stopping, even though he did not look 100% fit. His goal was brilliantly taken though, a beautiful finish to lift it in, when he could have been stood watching. Poacher's goal that was.
Mane - another of the man of the match contenders. He was lucky not to get booked early on, though extremely unlucky to get booked when he did pick up a yellow card. However he did extremely well not to react to Ederson's ridiculous attempts to rile him up and to ensure he never picked up another yellow. Brilliant game and the little nutmeg to get himself taken out by Fernandinho let Salah in to score. All game he was involved and kept pressing and protecting the defence brilliantly while still having enough to get forward and create havoc.
Firmino - the only 'disappointment' I can think of about his performance yesterday was that he had to look to slot the ball home into that millimetre of space. I had begun to think he used magical powers to see through his ears or something with all his no-look goals and passes! Bobby is Bobby. He works tirelessly, he creates chances, he scores goals, never gives an opponent an easy ride and is one of the best players in Europe right now. To think some of us were wondering if we would be able to maintain his performance levels without the almost telepathic link up he had with Coutinho. If anything Firmino is better without Couts as he is no longer always looking for him and is able to pick a better option.
Klavan - Klopp looked to shore things up at the back by bringing on Klavan in the 80th minute in place of Firmino and to ensure the Brazilian never picked up a second yellow. By that point City had pretty much given up anyway, so he was not really stretched.
Clyne - Alexander-Arnold was another player with a yellow hanging over his head, so he was also replaced in the 80th minute, but by Clyne. He did struggle with the little attacking thrust City still displayed going at him, but he has missed most of the season and came on late in the game, so it is little wonder.
Ings - got a chance to savour the atmosphere in the dying few seconds of the match as he replaced Salah in the 89th minute to ensure the pressure was kept up on the City backline.

Once I had decided on my choice, the information on colours and sizes in stock was clear. I cannot fault the service I received through, the ordering and payment procedure to the next day delivery.The products arrived exactly as published so, 5 stars all round.

Excellent service, price and productBuying rugby boots online is always a bit hit and miss so I ordered lots, none of which fitted so I ordered loads more! The one pair which my son finally chose were perfect, great quality and a really good price! But I was left with the issue of sending back all the rejected choices, it couldn't have been easier just print out a label and take it to a high street shop! Perfect, no hour long wait in the post office! I'll use them again - soon

Mounts are used as transportation in Echo of Soul.
When players use a mount, the distance of aggression of the mobs is reduced, but they can still attack if the players get too close. If a mob hits a mounted player, there is a chance to get dismounted. Mounts provide a different distance and chance based on their type/family.
The mounts' speed depends on the player's General Mount Riding ability, which can be upgraded using permits. Players can get these permits as quest rewards, or buy them from Mount Shops in the major Cities and Towns. Levina's Gift Boxes at levels 35 and 60 give player the Improved and Fast riding permits.
The maximum amount of mounts that you can have in your registry is 100. You can access your Mount registry by clicking CTRL+V.
IntroductionEditThe first mount encountered is the Llama in Aurora and it is 'borrowed' as part of a quest. At level 7-8, and after completing the questline in Occupied Mnemos Town and rescuing Mnemos, players will receive a quest called Fast Mount from NPC Chip for their General Mount Riding ability, as well as a free Llama mount (you can choose the color). These cannot be traded or stored in Account Storage, they are only for that specific character.
Llamas can also be purchased from Mount Traders for 1 gold and 100 silver.
Once you reach level 15, a Levina's Gift Box for that level will contain a Superior Llama Gift Box (3 Days). This box gives you a random Superior Llama that only lasts for 3 days (non-tradable, no account storage).
Some mounts have only permanent versions, while others have permanent and temporary versions (3 days, 15 days, 30 days).
The most common way to get a mount is to purchased it with AP from the Cash Shop, through Magic Lamps using Magic Eggs or through other players through trade or the marketplace.
Riding Permits Edit
There are 3 types of riding permits.
|Cost at merchant
|How to get it for free
|1 silver
|Accepting the quest in Mnemos: Fast Mount
|1 silver
|Levina's Gift Box Lv 35
|100 gold (no taxes)
|Levina's Gift Box Lv 60
Mount NPCs Edit
There are mount NPCs in all main cities. All of them will sell you the four Llama types for 1 gold and 100 silver. Additionally, some of them will sell you specific riding permits.
|Mnemos (near Wellspring Office)
|Only General Riding Permit
|Ignea (near South Gate)
|Only General Riding Permit
|Rimen (near Northern Exit)
|Only General and Improved Riding Permit
|Laterna (near Warp Portal)
|All permits
Redvale (north of Warp Portal')
|All permits
|Bernicia (Guru Lane)
|All permits
Mount Fragments Edit
Some Magic Lamps give an amount of fragments every time you open it. Once you collect enough of them, you can right-click and turn them into a mount.
Here are the 3 available mounts so far, and which Magic Lamp seasons would give them:
|Amount needed
|Magic Lamp Season
|Mount given
|Ghost Tiger's Ectoplasm
|7 + 9 + 10 + 11
|Ghost Tiger
|Green Wyvern Energy Fragment

How many times have I heard that *she* is a *he*, or *he* is a *she*? Far far too many to count. Unless you are on voice, on cam or here someone do a voice over while DJing, you really don't know. These are the obvious ones though. In many cases I can guess that the human behind the av is probably male. Boys, you just don't know how to be a woman very well. Now some of you actually pull it off, your avs aren't off the slider chart and you can keep up a conversation fairly well. I still don't get why you want to be a woman. If your standing naked in your SL home with the shades pulled playing with yourself, Dude, not good. I know quite a few people who have opposite sex avs but most of them are used for business purposes. Clothing and skin designers for example. This isn't really the point of this post though.
My point in this post is that judging someone by what you perceive to be a truth is just wrong. Unless you've spent months getting to know someone, you really don't know what is going on behind the keyboard. We only know what our humans wish to share. Then there is no way to know if what is being shared is true or wishful thinking. You can't look in their eyes, you can't hear the tone in their voice. So, do you go on blind faith and just trust or do you wait for someone to earn it?
Going beyond the obvious of gender swapping avatars there are all the other little details some of us leave out. Married, gay/lesbian, age, race, culture, and all the other little details that define us and our lives. I hear it often, *Is it cheating if your married in RL and partnered/having sex with a different av in SL?* Well if your hiding it from your spouse in RL then yeah, your cheating. Even if it's just pixels. If your not using Xcite gear most likely your cybering and since that requires some thought and for you to type it out, to me, that's cheating. If your RL spouse knows all about it and doesn't care, ok but to me, it's still cheating. You'll note I said ME. Your opinions are your own.
Age is a tough one. Underage players shouldn't be on the adult grid. Simple end of story. I agree there are a lot that are mature enough to handle it but it's not just for their protection, it's for ours too. Think of all the possibilities for lawsuits should it come out that a teen was hanging out with adults. Think about some of the raunchy, innuendo filled conversations you've had. Do you want a 16 or 17 or younger person hearing all that? An overly flirtacious adult hitting on them? The adult has no idea but can be labelled a pedophile all the same. So regardless of the maturity of the kid, I say they should be kicked back to the teen grid. As an aside, maybe the teen grid would be popular if these kids on the adult grid stayed on the teen grid.
Race/culture/sexual preference are all breeding grounds for discrimination in the real world. I see the same in SL only on a smaller scale. I'm not going to even try to comprehend the pressures these people go thru in RL. That many come to SL to escape that I have no doubt. While folks in SL are generally more accepting, there are still issues. The furries and Goreans are persecuted. Adults in kid avs are banned from many places and some accused of age play. While there are some bad eggs in the basket, you don't throw the whole thing out.
The next time you meet someone new, take a few moments to get to know them a bit. You really have no idea who is behind the avatar and things are not always as they appear.

your parents sound like jerks
They are good people, but not very open minded. I guess people who aren't used to such "criticism" would assume otherwise. I just have very thick skin and don't let such stuff hinder me. I also understand why would they say that especially when such toys cost A LOT.
I suppose I watched Chima a couple of times on the TV. Never again.
oh, I get what you mean, they should have a more open mind though
Welp. I live in a culturally hindered country thanks to Soviet Union so...Not much can be done there...
whoa, wait where are you from?
or sometin like dat
Have you ever heard of a magical country called... Lithuania ?Let me guess. You haven't. Also thanks to Soviet Union. Well it's not like we still live in 20th century, we have made a lot of progress since 1994, but our society, especially the old people (they make, I think, more than 50 % of the whole population), is still not used to non traditional things like people with different sexual orientations, tomboyish girls, people from very different cultures.I suggest for us to continue this conversation elsewhere before the mod-chopter arrives :P.
It was awkward for me to have to watch the Bionicle movies when they came out and have to let my parents watch them with me against my will. Having to explain everything to them was a nightmare in reality. The worst time was when we watched TLR. I will never forget how embarrassed I felt, especially because I was thirteen at the time. My dad kept on making fun of Mata Nui's monologue in the beginning and asking questions about plot points every five minutes.
People think LEGO is for kids. They showed the Lego Movie at my college. Mom and I went to go see it.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...please tell me you're joking.
It's not an opinion to say the Transformers aren't bad from a violence perspective. They either are extremely violent, or they aren't, and it's a fact that they are.
I thought you were talking about quality.
I'd condemn them on a quality level as well, but yeah, that's a bit more subjective. I'm still not one to forgive movies that do stuff like this:
prepares to bust out into an angry rant about the transformers movies, decides against it
The most memorable thing about the transformers movies to me is that part when bumblebee peed on a person
Why did you choose that emoticon for that...
you like watching someone get peed on!?
I'm totally not weird at all :DDDD
Sounds like my three brothers during EVERY movie we watch
Parents: "Why are you buying kids toys?"
Im still trying to find a good explanation for this to my parents that they will accept and/or understand.

The dog show is a most elaborate ceremony.
Judges of great experience and bearing come together to meticulously judge dogs of same breed to find those that most conform to standards and these become champion bloodlines.
Prices and ribbons are affixed and the cheering audience go back home fulfilled.
I will begin this narrative by using the Wikipedia definition of a dog show.
According to Wikipedia:-
Dog show can refer to:
- Conformation show, the most-common meaning of "dog show", in which dogs are rated for how well their appearance conforms to a standard
- Obedience trial
- Dog agility trial
- Sheepdog trial
- Field trial
- Novelty show
- Specialty show
- Tracking trial
- World's Ugliest Dog Contest, a dog show for ugly dogs
- Dog Show, a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live
I will continue now with my own words:
I do not want to be a rebel or a Pariah in the dog world.
Neither do I want to whip up old sentiments about the human race and the "perfect" human.
But we all know that man thrives on class distinction.Class and Creed are nouns that come up regularly.
In an effort to keep up this artificial level of existence,man would inbreed,cousins will marry cousins and negative traits in the family such as hemophilia will continue.!
If you will carefully study English, Swiss,American,German history,you will find that the sources of these people trying to maintain 'purity" and ultimate class were normal old time ordinary folk.
Enough of humans and their efforts,let us continue DOG TALK.
All present day dog breeds,were not always pure breeds but results of generations of interbreeding.
Why then would we have a dog show in America for pure,American Mastiffs when in actual fact the American Mastiff is not pure but a mix of an English Mastiff and a Turkish Kangal or Turkish Anatolian Shepherd?
Why would we have a dog show for slant German Shepherd dogs when the working class German shepherds were straight back?
Why would an American Bulldog which is a mix of several dogs and indeed a dog that is still undergoing further mixes by breeders such as JDJ(John.D.Johnson) be regarded as a pure breed?
Why would dogs like The Black Boerboel,The Roman Rottweiler and the Canis Panther not be permitted to appear in Dog Shows?
Again given that all dogs are mixes,who determines when the mixing should stop?
The Dogo Argentina is recognized by the top standards organization but the Canis Panther is not.
The Black Boerboel is now recognized by some standard organization,but not all.
This is my first issue with the dog shows for 'pure breeds"!
My second issue is that all dogs for shows are virile dogs,dogs capable of breeding.
They must not have been neutered or spayed.This means that the expectation is that these champion dogs will continue to breed more and more "royal' champions,but there are millions of dogs abandoned,pure breeds and mongrels or Mutts or Curs alike.
Dog breeding of any sort should be controlled.Dogs should never become so many as to loose value.Dog breeders should make most of their money from the services their dogs can provide in dog shows,as models so that their pictures are thus used,as picture companions for people who will pay for them.
Your dogs and puppies will bring you more money if you expose them and get them human pals who will be friends with your dog and contribute to your dogs upkeep by paying anytime they come to take pictures or walk around with your dogs.
The amount paid need not be much,what you need are more and more people to know your dogs and you will earn very good .Model dogs also earn a lot.
We do not encourage dog fighting,in fact we abhor it,but it is another huge source of income for dog owners in many countries of the world.
Dogs show be rare/few but good looking,healthy and good sized.
In conclusion,we at Dogs Arena Nigeria will concentrate on Novelty dog shows this year,These shows will have several breeds,all standard sized and primed.
We will also give room for one off shows of good looking Mixes,notable among them The Caucasian-German Shepherd dog mix,The Great Dane-Doberman mix,The Great Dane-Rottweiler mix,The Boerboel-Rottweiler mix and the Great Dane-Boerboel mix.-Many enthusiasts DO NOT like these mixes,but the truth is that from such mixes,healthy puppies and dogs are gotten!
The Boerboel is a mix of so very many dogs,and as such very healthy.
The debate about the black Boerboel lasted so long and is still on all because a dog of several mixed breeds has no right to deviate from standards and be black.Who set the standards??
In part 2 of this narrative we will look at the Black Boerboel,The Roman Rottweiler and the Canis Panther.
Slant Back Show dog German Shepherd Dogs,Just how healthy is this craze for purity and perfection?

A bill that would designate U.S. Route 1 in Bucks County as the Detective Christopher Jones Memorial Highway was unanimously approved by the state Senate on Tuesday. The legislation will become law when Gov. Tom Corbett signs it.
On Jan. 29, 2009, Jones, a 10-year veteran with the Middletown Police Department, was struck and killed while conducting a traffic stop on Route 1 near the I-95 interchange. He left behind a wife and three children.
House Bill 589 was sponsored by Rep. Frank Farry,� R-142, who called it a small gesture to tell Chris' family and friends that the community is grateful for his service and sacrifice.

Tucson: A Boomtown Becomes a Desert Metropolis
Here's a fascinating look back at life in Tucson and the Catalina Foothills, nearly thirty years ago. Though it's not mentioned in the article, the Alta Vista neighborhood, (where I'm a present day resident) is the 17-mile tract of land sold by Howard Hughes' Estate. It's undoubtedly worth a good deal more now than the $50 million valuation of 1979.
"Tucson: A Boomtown Becomes a Desert Metropolis"
by Robert Lindsey, special for the New York Times
Copyright, The New York Times
Tucson, Arizona, December 14, 1979
At the fringes of this city, housing developments are edging close to the Titan II missile silos built by the Air Force 15 years ago, seemingly in the wilderness; traffic jams and air pollution have begun to bedevil the vaunted desert lifestyle; city dwellers are at war with ranchers because of fears there will not be enough water for all the people who want to move here. And soon, as if from the grave, the late Howard R. Hughes will begin encouraging even more growth for, a classic boomtown of the American Southwest that is growing rapidly these days, partly because of newcomers' disenchantment with other Sunbelt boomtowns that grew too much.
In the 1950s, Mr. Hughes, who operated an aircraft manufacturing plant here that is still the city's largest industrial employer, bought more than 13,000 acres of land in and near the city, and left most of it to lie vacant, while houses, shopping centers, and factories sprouted up around and beside it.
Last week, his holding company, the Summa Corporation, said that, largely to raise money to pay estate taxes, it would soon begin a three year program to sell the nearly 17 square miles of under-developed land it still owns in the city, and it's immediate environment, hundreds of pieces of property that make up more than 8% of the total metropolitan area.
On assessment roles, the value of the land is listed at $22 million, although in this city where real estate values have tripled in the past three years, and one out of 10 residents is said to have a real estate sales license, some specialists here expect the sale to bring the Hughes estate more than $50 million.
How the land is used once it is sold, city officials say, is likely to help determine 's future shape, although if recent patterns are a guide, little effort will be made to use the massive sale to change the course of the city's future.
Tucson, in recent years, has undergone stormy debate over its future. Some local officials argued that should control the rate of its growth, especially at the city's edges, to avoid becoming "another San Jose, "the California city that earned a national reputation for unbridled urban sprawl in the 1960s.
But the local business interests and local residents that oppose the slow-the-growth movement eventually prevailed, and when a new city master plan was adopted last spring, the proposed growth-control strategies were gone, and is now a city where, with relatively few exceptions, growth at any price seems to be the official civic doctrine.
It is a city where old faster boosterism still prevails, where local officials boast regularly about how few regulations are imposed on business and industry, and where there are signs everywhere of a tradition from cow town to metropolitan area.
"Tucson real estate is like a gold rush." Said Dave Taylor, a city planning official, "and we've got the camp followers of a mining camp – the white shoe, white belt types, who come over here from California and try to buy up everything." Real estate agents talk about how a syndicate of California investors bought more than 400 single family houses last year, and about another syndicate that bought 200 homes. Despite recent increases, housing prices here are still considered a bargain.
Tucson is Arizona's second city: with about 312,000 residents within the city limits, plus 200,000 more at the edges. It is less than half as large as Phoenix, which is 100 miles to the north.
Life in Tucson is slower and less urban and feels closer to Arizona's frontier roots than bustling Phoenix. There is more influence of Mexico, which is 65 miles to the south, and Tucson has fewer urban problems than Phoenix.
Still, Tucson, where the population has increased by almost 19% in this decade, is changing. Traditionally, its economy has had only four elements: the Hughes Plant, tourism, the University of Arizona, and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. In the past two years, it has begun to develop a significant electronics industry, led by several companies fleeing California's so-called Silicon Valley near San Jose, where growth has been pinched particularly by soaring home prices.
Few Environmental Restrictions
Besides Tucson's climate and housing prices, industry appears to have been attacked by relatively low wage levels, weak unions, and combatively breezy environmental restrictions. "We're the last bastion of the laissez-faire, free enterprise city," said one planner, Jack Siry, unenthusiastically.
Last year, the international business machines corporations opened the plant here, and it is building a much larger one for part of a company division in San Jose; National Semi-conductor. A San Jose area manufacturing company has also opened a facility as have several smaller companies. "We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg for these companies," said James Cocke, a vice president of Valley National Bank.
Tucson is the nation's largest city, relying exclusively on underground wells and in recent years has been taking three times as much water from the ground each day than has been replaced. Local officials insist, however, that the city is not facing a water crisis.
Farm Versus Urban Demands
If all goes according to plan, they say, the Central Arizona Project, a massive federal effort to tap the Colorado river, should be delivering water here by 1987. Moreover, they say that local cotton growers and other farmers who make up less than 3% of the population, have now used more than 80% of the water, will eventually have to surrender some of their water to urban demands.
Mr. Taylor and other officials, said that Summa Corporations' decision to sell would be advantageous to the city's industrial development because much of its land is in the southern part of Tucson, which has been the center of the electronics industry growth.
Some residents here express fears about the economic effects of the recent growth. A year ago, the average price of a new home here was slightly more than $40,000; now, it is $62,000. Tucson's overall cost of living, meanwhile, has soared at a faster rate than the national average and, by federal standards, now ranks above such cities as Chicago and Detroit.
Still the mood here is buoyant. The jobless rate is 4.4%, below the national average, and despite occasional references to concern over energy shortages, most official speak glowingly about the march of bulldozers across the desert and into the foothills overlooking the city saying that development is inevitable.

Interesting that people are still finding desert and mountain living to be appealing. Up in Colorado it appears as things are still moving along in the market just fine …

I tried, I really tried. I have an iPadmini that takes pictures and people told me to take pictures and show them where I was. It took a lot of effort and I didn't succeed as you will know if you followed my blogs. I had to remember to take Minnie with me, and to charge it , and not to use up the battery reading the New York Times (I got it daily online), And then when I was out there, wherever, gazing at something, I had to remember to take a picture and that was even harder than remembering and then when I was back in my stateroom I had to transfer the pictures to my computer and then I had to figure out how to send them to my blog - and I often managed only to send a diagonal line drawn across the screen. And then -- after a while -- I thought, why do I need a picture of this? Aiming and focusing and figuring out what to do when I could be just looking and gazing and loving seemed a difficult choice to make.
I managed to send a few pictures and I have more and I'll try to figure out how to send them, for what they're worth. I still prefer to hold things in my memory and Ii'm getting choosier all the time about what I want to keep, not just pictures but things. I have come home determined to throw more stuff out. What about souvenirs? you ask. A souvenir, as you know, and according to the online dictionary, is "a thing that is kept as a reminder of a person, place, or event." When you've lived as long as I have that can add up to a lot of things. I found myself increasingly resistant to tschotschkes as well as to pictures. My children are going to have enough trouble as it is to sort out my remains, not my remains, but my reminders -- Spelcheck just presumed I meant remains not remainders. Reminders is better.
So here is an event not immortalized in an iPad moment. I went on a river cruise of the Waluah River (I think that's how it's spelled); I'll have to check) -- remember? -- that time when I couldn't see but I could hear the howling monkeys? The trip was lovely: the heat was gently eased and dispelled by the faint breeze generated by the motion of the boat. A jungle enclosed us on either side, giant ferns and plants I couldn't name. I gazed and gazed, and thought of a cold fjord I shivered by a couple of years ago now when I circumnavigated Newfoundland. The foliage was far different, and crags and rocks vied for attention as opposed to ferns, macaws and monkeys (that I never saw). But I was there, fully there. And the two experiences, vastly different and worlds apart, layered themselves into my consciousness and into my memory.
Not, however, into my iPad.

Darkspell Book Launch Spookfesta
I just love blogfest & contest hosted by bloggers. Don't you? It seems that there are so many cool ones going on and more to come this month.
Halloween has always been my second favorite holiday. I still dress in costume, decorate my home & I go nuts with the spooky outdoor decorations. It might have something to do with so many of my kids having October birthdays or maybe I just never quite grew out of Halloween. Do we ever get too old to celebrate Halloween?
Well without further ado.... A Halloween SPOOKFESTA!
Author, Elizabeth Mueller, has quite a lot to celebrate this Halloween. October 31, 2011, is the official launch date for her new book, DARKSPELL. Now is that spooky cool or what?
Can't wait to get your hands on DARKSPELL, well how about a Teaser?
Now you really want to read it , don't you. Click here to pre-order your signed, numbered copy .
This is what she has to say about her Spookfesta:
I'd love to christen Darkspell by brewing up an online "If I had all the magic in the world, I'd ..." spookfesta. On Halloween day and just for fun, post a photograph of *what you'd do with your magic, and share with me what you'd do if you discovered that you had all the magic in the world at your fingertips. Create world peace? Turn the ocean into ice cream? Fly to the moon? The universe is the limit--oops, actually, there are no limits.
This is going to be wacky fun! Can you imagine having all the magic in the world? What would you do? Yikes, does our answer have to be legal? I am really psyched about this. It will be fun finding the perfect photograph to depict what I will do with "all the magic in the world.
What is your magic power?????
