Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw has launched a review of educational achievement in deprived communities, which will seek to explore what young people from disadvantaged backgrounds need to achieve success.
Wilshaw said "radical solutions" are needed to improve education for all children. Image: Ofsted
In a speech to the National College's annual conference, Wilshaw said that the review comes nearly 20 years after the first Ofsted Access and Achievement in Urban Education report and a decade after the progress report.
He said: "Twenty years ago, Ofsted produced a landmark report, which described the lack of educational success and the paucity of good-quality provision in deprived communities.
"Ten years later, David Bell, the then chief inspector, produced another report under the same headline. What was so depressing was that his report painted a similarly bleak picture of underperformance in these same communities.
"I am asking the educational leaders of this country to take ownership of the situation and show the leadership needed to change the learning landscape.
"Everyone who agrees that all children deserve a good education needs to work in partnership to introduce the radical solutions needed today to make a real difference for the children of tomorrow."
The original report, published in 1993, gave recommendations for closing the gap on the educational achievements of children from rich and poor backgrounds in the English education system.
In 2003, the Access and Achievement in Urban Education: 10 Years On report collected data from 1,000 schools in areas of urban deprivation.
Under the latest review, a panel of head teachers, academic experts, local authority and third sector representatives will aim to answer five questions:

Phoebe - Fall
Phoebe had been on a high for longer than usual and was starting to worry that she might just lose her balance, so she asked her true love, "If I fall to pieces will you put me back together?"

Phoebe - Distant
Phoebe had been very distant for a long time... possibly as far, far away as another universe. She had needed some space and perspective – somewhere quiet so she could hear herself think. Everything appeared differently from a distance. Big things appeared much smaller, small things completely dissappeared and the things that mattered the most stood out like stars. Finally she could make sense of the world...
Finally! Phoebe is back! Yep its been a while but this year I am aiming to post more often... there are a few more Phoebe stories up my sleeve yet so don't go away (!) I'll get them out of my head and onto my blog soon... Kazxo

Kazart Phoebe - Vermillion
Phoebe wanted to paint. She had vermillion on the brain. All she could think about was painting scarlet, vermillion, crimson... in fact, she just wanted to paint everything red. What did this mean? Was she angry? Mad? Going mad? She didn't care. She just wanted to get the red out of her head...

IF - Eye Glasses (Thick Black Glasses?)
Elvis oh Elvis... how would I get to work and back and maintain sanity without you? Seriously, I drive approx. 70km to work which takes 1.5 hours on a good day and up to 2 hours on a bad day and then do the same trip home each night. That's 140km stuck in my car with only my music to entertain me (the ads and crappy talk back on the radio are enough to do your head in so only ventured when absolutely desperate or CD player is having a spasm or completely sick of listening to the same CDs over and over and over... yep, my car is old - it even has a tape deck but we don't go there... Back to the IF topic - Eye Glasses? I did a series of huge pastel drawings based on people who inspired me that also happen to be wearing thick black glasses - which brings me back to Elvis Costello. He wears them. His music inspires me. I think I would marry his voice in another life... xo
And here are a few more v inspiring, creative, thick black glasses wearing faces from the same series... same huge sizes. Must do more... if only I could draw and drive at the same time?! Can you get booked for that?

Phoebe - Mad Hair Day
Phoebe couldn't think straight... her head felt like spaghetti – inside and out. Nothing seemed to make sense... had she got her wires crossed again? She tried to focus but losing her train of thought, decided to embrace her present tangled mess instead and just go with it. ROCK ON Phoebe! She secretly always wanted to be Suzi Quatro – but unfortunately, she only knew how to play classical guitar... oh well, no one will notice the difference?!
The idea for this illustration came from having a bad hair day (week?) while trying to come up with a new idea for a Phoebe illo for Illustration Friday. The end result has absolutely nothing to do with the latest IF topic but i feel soooo much better for having got another bad hair day out of my system! Thanks Phoebe... x

Portrait of girl in pigtails
Ok, I know its been a long time since I posted anything - SLACKO. But sometimes life just gets crazy busy and things have to be juggled around a bit. Unfortunately this meant that I haven't had as much time for my art BUT here is a portrait I painted recently...
I have been pining to do some more painting lately but there just hasn't been enough time... soon. Soon I will get back into it - just need to juggle things around a bit more...

gin and tonic (movie)
Tanya_Birklid19: Yes, i remember seeing that somewhere. It would be cool if they did it, but yes it's kinda a pity that they never made it.
King Brian the Wild: It's really a pitty they never did the movie, he would be a good actor for Graham's role. Anyway, it wouldn't be the same watching other people acting as the Pythons (the ones who are still alive), it would be very strange to me. They could have made a documentary about Graham, with Rhys Ifans as Graham, but not a movie with actors imitating the young Pythons, I wouldn't like that. Anyhow, a shame they never did something like that in order to honour Graham.
sit-on-my-face: Oh. I'm really getting upset, it would have been great and that actor is perfect (if anyone can be, Graham is one of a kind). It's very important for the memory of his great mind and personnality, it should be getting done.

TUMBLR BLOG REVIEW ON (allein.tumblr.com)
I was asked to make a Tumblr blog review about Allein Ibanez of CMC's blog; however, I am having a hard time doing so. All that there is in his blog is a penguin as his default picture and a blog entry of a picture of the cartoon; "The Penguins of Madagascar" without any details on it. His blog lacks life and the main point of having a blog: blog entries. There weren't even any details on the owner of the blog, a title for the blog or even a simple background; all there is is a plain picture of the Penguins of Madagascar. The blog entry of the picture of the penguins has been posted a year ago which can make me conclude that the person only made a Tumblr page just for the sake of having one or just plainly because of a school necessity; either way, his blog is insufficient. From the two things that are in his blog, he seems to like penguins. It would've been better if he had at least put up some details on the photo of the Penguins of Madagascar.
A blog isn't that hard to do; any person could do it. Allein Ibanez could've put on anything he wanted to blog about, may it be an event that happened to him, a favorite song, his family, girlfriend, literally anything. As a Bedan Marketer, he could've thought of ways that he could market the only thing that I know the person likes, penguins. He could blog about a plan to save the penguins. He could've made a societal-marketing plan to help penguins; he could've put details on how to stop global warming for the penguins to have a home or he could also have blogged about the different penguin breeds. Through this kind of blog, he could've educated his readers and maybe even promoted it to people in the environment or even just to the Tumblr community to help spread word of the conditions of the penguins.
Another thing that Allein Ibanez could've done is he could've been a critic type of blogger. A marketer knows how to critic different types of advertising or marketing campaigns and tell whether it is or would be successful or not. He could've done blog entries giving a critique on different advertisements on the Television, Internet campaigns, Radio advertisements or he could've critiqued the marketing campaigns of different companies.
By the looks of Allein Ibanez' blog, I can tell that he is a person who doesn't like to type things down. He seems to be a person with other interests like maybe Basketball, studies, gaming and doesn't have that much time for blogging. Basing my opinion on his profile that I found on Facebook, he seems to like love music. He listens to local artists like Nonoy Zuniga and local music ministries.
I couldn't blame a person for a mediocre blog just basing on my own opinions but I know that he could've done a better job on updating it and putting blog entries in it. The grade that I'd give for Allein Ibanez for creativity is 1/20. I gave him this score because his blog is literally empty and all there is, is a picture up a penguin as his default picture and a blog entry of a picture of penguins without a single word or letter describing it. To add insult to injury, his background is very "lame" so to speak. It is the basic default background that Tumblr provides you with as you start. He hasn't changed it since.
As for writing skills, I'd give this person a 0/20. In his blog, all that he wrote are the details he needed to make the Tumblr site. I couldn't make myself generous enough to give him a grade for an empty blog; and last, as for quantity, I'd give him 2/20. I gave him a 2/20 because despite of his mediocre blog, there is a single blog entry. No matter how short or plain it is, a blog entry is a blog entry, thus, I'm giving him this grade.
Drank a lot but not feeling drunk at all. Tipsy? Not even. Can I write a decent blog? Damn straight, son.
TONIGHT WAS HELLA CRAZY. It deserves to be blogged.
If you guys don't know, today is my pal Awi's birthday and we celebrated it with friends over dinner, drinks and partying. The fun started when I drove the Terrano to Awi's place and left it there and left immediately for Eastwood with Awi and Jeff on le birthday boy's car.
When we arrived at Eastwood, we had dinner. Fazoli's(Yum =P~). Twas awesome. It was my first time to eat at that restaurant and it was awesome. New favorite. Affordable pizza, affordable pasta, affordable meals, and to add to that, FREE DRINKS AND BREADSTICKS! WHO DOESN'T LOVE FREE DRINKS AND FOOD?! We (And by we, I mean AWI) bought an ass load of food. A feast of pasta, pizza and unli-breadsticks. We were planning to eat "epicmealtime style" but ended up getting full all to early. There was just too much food; we didn't even get to finish the pizza. The food was just. too. much. We walked out of Fazoli's ala-moon man. Nice, easy and slow, and to quote Awi's famous words, "Pacing lang." Walking fast wasn't a choice; the breadsticks were about to burst out of my belly. At that point, the night was already kinda crazy but it was just about to get crazier.
The pasta, pizza and drinks finally settled in our bellies and we were ready to drink(Atleast we though we were ready to drink). We went to this place called "Toyz" to meet up with the other peeps and the beer started flowing. I had a few glasses of beer and a bottle, and already, I really wanted to puke. You know that feeling when you can feel everything in your tummy about explode and your gag reflex is acting up and your mouth is starting to salivate? I WAS EXPERIENCED THAT EXACT FEELING. But, it wasn't because I was already drunk. IT WAS BECAUSE OF ALL THE DAMN FOOD WE HAD FOR DINNER. Damn breadsticks, got me wanting to puke. I am not a "puker." It was my first time to want to puke because of a full stomach. Fazoli's is to blame, their food is just too good.
The reason why we started drinking in the first place was to get us pumped up for the club that we were gonna go to at midnight. It was also to avoid the crazy ass beer and liquor prices inside the bar. The funny part about us drinking in the bar was how we were talking about what we would do when we finally enter the club. We were talking about pick-up lines, dance moves (The sprinkler, The Dougie, That "ankle hold+neck hold bending" dance, and the infamous "The Situation fist pump in the air while holding your shirt up to show your abs" dance), how we'd be each other's wingman and other shit. Which leads us to the next chapter. THE CLUB.
Alright. So we're finally in the club and I've got 3 words to describe it. TIGHT, SMOKEY, and SAUSAGEFEST. It was my first time to get into a club and I didn't expect it to be like that. It was crazy; "meh" kind of crazy, not "OHYEAHHHHH" kind of crazy. I wasn't expecting the Manila party scene to be like that. I was expecting it to be like the ones on TV, like "KEYS TO THE VIP" where there weren't that much people and talking to people was a breeze. BUT IT WASN'T. IT WAS CRAZY. Plus, it was really funny cause I really wasn't in a "party mood." I don't know if it was because it was my first time to be in a place like that, maybe it's because I don't dance or maybe I'm just not a party person but it was funny. I got to meet a few people though. Got to dance a bit. Hangout. Meh. I'm really not a party person, I'm more of a "Inumang bahay" or "Inumang tambay" kind of guy, but i'd like to come back again though, just not anytime soon.
We went home earlier than expected cause the club was filled with ballsacks. The club was a downer. It really was not what I expected. But, on our way home we were laughing like crazy because of how the night was crazy-good at the start and ended up being crazy-bad at the end. It may not seem funny, but trust me, it was. We were laughing our asses off home 'til I finally got to Awi's place, where I parked the Terrano. Okay, so I was driving home. It was steady. I didn't feel drunk at all. Not even tipsy. In just around 10 minutes, I was home already from Awi's place. HERE COMES THE CLIMAX OF MY NIGHT…
Brief flashback:
My Dad noticed a few days ago how I parked the Terrano in the garage. He said that I always park too close to the right wall and it's only a matter of time 'til you hit the neighbor's flower pots. He reminded me again this morning how the right way to park is. I thought I learned. I thought I did.
I think you guys know where this is leading to. While trying to park the Terrano, I took a sharp curve towards the garage and yes, I HIT THE NEIGHBOR'S FLOWER POTS. It was a "What the f*ck?!" moment for me cause I wasn't even drunk nor tipsy and I hit the damn flowerpots. I quickly ran upstairs to my Mom and Dad's room and said to them with a smile on my face, "Ma, I accidentally hit Tita Dally's flowepots while trying to park the Terrano" and my Papa quickly answered, "I KNEW IT! It didn't take long for you to finally hit those flowerpots. I warned you. I though I told you how to park the Terrano?" I laughed and said sorry. It was funny cause my Dad warned me so many times. For those of you wondering why it's so hard to park the Terrano, the parking space is perpendicular to the road, the parking space is just enough to fit the Terrano, there's a car on one side and the turning radius of the Terrano is not that big. It can't do tight curves. I didn't hit the flowerpots with the car itself though, it was the big ass wheels that hit the pots. No scratches. I'm safe. Haha!
My Dad and I went downstairs to clean up the neighbor's porch at 2:30am without the neighbor's noticing. Talk about early agriculture. (LOL) We gave them one of our flower pots in exchange for what I broke, cleaned all the soil with our barehands and washed off all the remaining soil. The front porch of my neighbor is clean now. All thanks to me and my Dad. When we were done, my Dad told me again, "I knew this was gonna happen. It was only about time" then I laughed and replied to him, "He he. Kaya nga eh. Sorry, Pa."
I really wanna see the look on my neighbor's face when they see the flowerpots we changed. LOL. Can't wait 'til tomorrow. I gotta say sorry to my neighbor and find a better flower pot.
…AND THAT ENDS MY CRAZY ASS NIGHT. Hope you guys had a crazy ass night aswell. Cheers!
THIS BLOG IS DEDICATED TO MY BEST BUD, AWI! Happy birthday, Brah! Thanks for the car ride, the food, everything. Thanks, man! Have a great one!
Happy birthday, Ali! :-*
Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
Aren't they just the cutest puppies ever?
I'm selling these Mini-Pinscher puppies for 4k each! Got 3 girls and 2 boys left! Pick from Black&Tan or Brown!
REBLOG and hit me up! Tell your friends! :D
Today, we headed home early because our Management Accounting professor didn't show up. At first I was feeling lucky as heck because I can head home early, get to do my assignment, study oblicon and do other stuff.
When we arrived at the Santolan station, it was around 7:00pm; RushHour. Looking for a jeep was a drag. All the Antipolo Jeeps were either full or looking for "Derecho Antipolo" passengers. To add insult to injury, it was raining hard as hell in Santolan.
When I finally got into a jeep, looking for a seat was even harder. I did end up finding some space, but it wasn't big enough for my ass. No matter how much I tried to fit myself and the people beside me to tried to make some space for me, I really couldn't fit into the puny space, it was no use. I ended up sitting on my tiptoed feet and boy was that tiring as hell. At that point, I was thinking how bad my day was. I was all wet, tired, and my feet and knees hurt. But after around 20 minutes, I finally got a decent seat.
Sitting, trying to shake off the pain in my knees an feet, I noticed that the girl beside me was all frantic and worried. It was as if she lost something. I asked her, "Ate, nawala po cellphone niyo?" and she said, "Oo, eh." She was around 14 or 15 years old and she was probably worrying about what her parents would say if they found out. I offered to help her, I used the flashlight from my cellphone to look for hers around but it was no use. I would've offered to lend her my cellphone to call hers but I only had 8.50php left and I would've lent my hanky to wipe her tears cause she didn't have one but mine was all wet with rain and sweat. A while after, the jeep finally arrived at my stop. I was sad that I couldn't help her. On my way down, I just gave her a smile and said sorry. She was grateful that I helped her, she said "Thank you" and managed to give me a smile back though she got her cellphone snatched.
Goes to show that some people, though having a bad day, still appreciate the help of others. I love helping those kind of people. They see the good things in the worst. This just shows that no matter how bad your day is, cheer up. Lots of people are experiencing worse. CHEER UP!
Since class started, I hear my classmates complaining about how sucky our schedule is. But I honestly do not know what they're complaining about. Our schedule is the shi.. shiznit(My MKC06 professor might read this so I must stop cursing. LOL.) So, i'll try to make believers out of my classmates that think that our schedule sucks.
REASONS WHY I LOVE MY 1:00PM/4:00pm to 9:00pm SCHEDULE:
I seriously don't know what you guys are complaining about. I love our schedule. AND I LIVE IN ANTIPOLO. LOL.
After having a great time eating, eating, and eating. I forgot all the hard work I've been through just to lose a small pound. Well, that's life. I can't resist to my cravings and temptations especially food. @_@ Now, I feel like I'm getting fatter AGAIN! :( So, to end this depressing evening, I will wake up early in the morning tomorrow and kill myself in jogging nonstop until 7am! Whether it's rain or shine! Good night! :|
F*ck the gym. Real men feast. We dine in hell again tomorrow.
Tonight, our friend, Ericson "Erich" Hernane treated us to a feast.
It was unplanned actually. We were supposed to have this yesterday but since some of us weren't allowed to leave, we canceled it. But this afternoon, we were dismissed early because our professors from 6:00pm-9:00pm didn't show up. After the goodnews was announced, Jeff had the brightest idea; TO CELEBRATE ERICH'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!
We were all psyched for the challenge; to make a chicken mound. At first we were all hungry as hell. So hungry that we even thought of eating ahead even though the birthday girl wasn't there yet. Yes, THAT HUNGRY. But after 2 pain staking hours, and 6 chicken quarters(for me), we were all talking about how we wouldn't eat chicken anymore, how we felt like hurling, how our tummies were about to explode and how funny it would be if we'd have chicken tomorrow. LOL.
It's funny though, no matter how full we all were, THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR MAX'S CARAMEL BARS. Best pastries ever. Without a doubt.
Max's chicken all you can!!!
I can only describe this experience with one word. BUSOG!!!! @-)
oh and by the way, im never eating chicken again. EVER!!! lol =)))
I'm the blue blur. LOL.
SORRY FOR THE LAME BLOG TITLE. I can't think of a decent one.
This is what kept me busy all weekend.
This is where all my savings went to.
This all what all those too-close-to-the-face pictures are for.
VOILA! My LomoWall! This took 10 months worth of pictures, 14 rolls of film, 288 selected photos, 9 1/2 illustration boards, 2 rolls of mounting tape, and a big ass bottle of glue.
I've been wanting to make one of these bad boys ever since I got my Lomo Fisheye2, and finally did. I was even doubting at first if I wanted to make one because I knew that I'd be spending a hefty amount of cash for this and the money that I'll use to buy all the materials could almost buy me a pair of Vans Authentics, but as you can see, I went with it. And I have no regrets. NONE AT ALL.
The moment you get inside our pad, it's the first thing that's gonna catch your eye; a gigantic collage of morphed faces and bent landscapes. Every person that's been to our place since last night has stopped to look at my lomowall and tried to look for their faces in it. And if you hang with me alot, expect that you're in it.
It's fun to see that people come and stare at what I worked hard for. Makes you feel proud of yourself. Like my artist brother said, "It's like having your own private exhibit in your own house."
I plan to fill up all the walls with pictures. It's gonna take sometime but I'll try to do it.

Progress Update: Task Group 3
Task Group 3 is focused on testing for humidity, temperature, and voltage stresses.
The ingress of moisture with or without electrical bias has been shown to cause corrosion and charge movement in PV modules. Temperature and humidity have been used as accelerated stress tests for PV modules for many years. There are multiple humidity and humidity/electrical bias degradation modes with widely varying acceleration factors. The group's development of true accelerated lifetime tests must take variation of environmental conditions into account.
Progress Update
Task Group 3 has focused on developing tests that can accelerate delamination of encapsulants leading to moisture ingress and subsequent corrosion. Group 3 is collaborating with Task Group 5 (UV, temperature, and humidity) to evaluate the impact of UV exposure on the adhesion of encapsulant materials to glass. This set of experiments should help Group 3 to establish a sequence of tests specifically designed for accelerating the delamination of encapsulants.
Group 3 has also been supporting the effort underway in IEC TC82 to develop standard test methods for measuring Potential Induced Degradation (PID). Two standard test methods are being proposed, one in a damp heat chamber and one using aluminum foil. These methods can be utilized by the PV industry to characterize the susceptibility of PV products to PID. Once PID is well understood, a PID Qualification Test will be developed probably as a part of the PV Module Qualification Test.
Group 3 continues to assess the performance of field-aged modules. The group is collecting performance data from modules with more than 10 years of exposure in hot humid climates in an effort to identify humidity-related failure and degradation modes.

Iran general: Military strike would be end of Israel

DUBAI - A high-ranking Iranian general said on Saturday Israeli military action against Iran's nuclear program would lead to the collapse of the Jewish state, Fars news agency reported.Last week's round of nuclear talks between Iran and world powers in Moscow failed to secure a breakthrough, heightening fears Israel might take unilateral military action to curb Iran's nuclear activities.The two sides agreed to a follow-up meeting of technical experts on July 3, saving the process from outright failure."They cannot do the slightest harm to the (Iranian) revolution and the system," Brigadier-General Mostafa Izadi, deputy chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, told Fars."If the Zionist regime takes any (military) actions against Iran, it would result in the end of its labors," he added."If they act logically, such threats amount to a psychological war but if they want to act illogically, it is they who will be destroyed."Izadi's comments are an apparent response to Vice Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz's calls for tougher sanctions against Tehran and his indication that military action was still an option.Analysts say Iranian officials use such rhetoric as a way of stoking Western concerns of chaos in the Middle East and the disruption of oil supplies in the event of military action.During negotiations in Moscow the six powers - the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany - demanded Iran scale back its nuclear work and, in particular, stop enriching uranium to levels that could bring it close to making an atom bomb.The demands included the shutting down of the Fordow underground uranium enrichment facility and the shipping of any stockpile out of the country.In return, they offered fuel to keep Iran's medical isotope reactor running, assistance in nuclear safety and an end to a ban on spare parts for Iran's aging civilian aircraft.Iran denies its work has any military purpose and says the powers should offer it relief from sanctions and acknowledge its right to enrich uranium before it meets their demands.

Lexington, KY (Sports Network) - Former Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra remains in serious, but stable condition at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky. The mare is being treated by veterinarians Dr. Bonnie Barr and Dr. Brett Woodie.
"If she wasn't as smart and as strong-willed as she is she wouldn't be progressing the way she is," said Dr. Barr.
Rachel Alexandra is recovering from abdominal surgery performed Wednesday, Feb. 13 following foaling complications. She gave birth to a 140-pound filly on Tuesday, Feb. 12 but was admitted into Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital the next day with excess fluid in her abdomen.
She underwent exploratory abdominal surgery which discovered an infection. A damaged section of her small colon was surgically repaired.
Monday morning the mare went for a short walk outside, during which time she ate a small amount of grass. According to Stonestreet Farm's website, "she remains bright with normal vital signs."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bill Bratton, a former police chief of Boston, New York and Los Angeles, said on Thursday he was willing to give advice to British police on combating gangs and gang violence in the wake of riots in several cities.
British Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament earlier on Thursday that his government wanted to make tackling street gangs a national priority and mentioned Bratton by name as someone Britain could consult.
"If asked, I would be honored to provide my counsel in any capacity they deem helpful," Bratton, chairman of Kroll global risk consulting company in New York, said in a statement in response to Cameron's remarks.
"I would certainly be in a position to discuss the contemporary American experience and my work in these areas, in particular the successes that created real reductions in gang-related crime in Boston, New York and most recently in Los Angeles where we also saw significant improvements in the relations between the police and the city's diverse communities," he said.
"There are many lessons from these experiences that I believe are relevant to the current situation in England."
Bratton has worked with British police for almost 20 years. For those services, Queen Elizabeth II awarded him the honorary title of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in September 2009.

|09/02/12 - Record 200 small wind turbine order delivers jobs and growth for Gaia-Wind and Myriad CEG Power
|Non Government Decentralised Energy Press Releases - Wind Energy
Record 200 small wind turbine order delivers jobs and growth for Gaia-Wind and Myriad CEG Power
Gaia-Wind and renewable energy provider Myriad CEG Power have today signed a £5m plus contract to provide almost 200 Gaia-Wind 133-11kW small wind turbines for installation in
Gaia-Wind CEO Johnnie Andringa said: "This is a record breaking contract for us and will enhance our position as the UK's leading manufacturer of small wind turbines. The contract, for 190 turbines, with the potential to increase to more than 200, is a vote of confidence from Myriad CEG Power: the UK's largest supplier and installer of green energy equipment. It is also a huge compliment to our turbine model, the Gaia-Wind 133-11kW, and our workforce.
Welcoming the development, First Minister Alex Salmond said: "I congratulate Gaia-Wind, together with Myriad CEG, on securing this new contract and I am pleased that the Scottish Government, through our enterprise agencies, has been able to support the company's successful development from its Glasgow base.
"The latest success is further indication of the strength of Scotland's world-leading renewable energy industry, built on our strong industrial heritage and track record for innovation.
"It is an industry that is not only transforming how we generate power in Scotland, but one that is increasingly generating business, jobs and investment from around these islands and further afield."
Andringa continued: "It is also a boost for UK renewables manufacturing and demonstrates the capacity for growth in the sector at a difficult time. Over the last year or so we have created a world class Global Hub integrating R&D, design engineering, assembly and testing, as well as global distribution and supply chain management – all on one site in Glasgow. This investment has facilitated our rapid, solid growth and secured jobs and skills for the industry.
"Since moving our headquarters from Denmark to Glasgow in 2006, we have generated more than 30 jobs in our UK Company, not to mention the immediate service and supply chain. This contract underpins our growth plans and the potential to almost double this figure in the coming years."
Myriad CEG Power Ltd MD, Phil McVan, said: "As a result of this successful partnership, the Myriad CEG Power wind turbine business increased by 50 per cent last year and is set to do the same again this year. "We are delighted to have renewed and extended our agreement to be the exclusive supplier in England and Wales of the market leading product for this size of turbine, which has a first class record for quietness, reliability and energy production.
"As the renewable sector continues to grow across the UK, this partnership is an anchor point for farmers and other customers who want to benefit from impressive yields and returns, particularly in the wake of the reduced solar tariffs announced by the Government.''
Scottish Enterprise Chief Executive, Lena Wilson, said: "Today's announcement is fantastic news for Gaia-Wind, and for Scotland, and is testament to the hard work and commitment of its management team and staff. We've worked intensively with Gaia Wind since 2007 supporting the delivery of its ambitious growth plans. During this time, we have seen it grow from strength to strength and really capitalise on Scotland's strengths as a key location for low carbon development. I wish them every success for the future as they continue to strengthen their presence in Scotland."
Designed for areas with an average annual wind speeds of between 10-17mph (4.5-7.5 m/s), the Gaia-Wind 133-11kW is ideally suited to sites with large open spaces such as farms, rural properties and rural businesses. The large rotor allows the turbine to capture much more energy from the wind than similarly rated machines, delivering higher electricity production.
The turbines helped Gaia-Wind sweep the board in the annual survey of US small wind turbine industry professionals published in 2011, achieving the best rating of the top 24 turbines available in the US.
A Gaia-Wind 133-11kW turbine generating 30,000kWh of green electricity per year will offset around 17 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This is enough to erase the carbon footprint of the average 4 person household.

Sedimentology and Regional Implications of Deep-water Sandstones of the Tourelle Formation, Ordovician, Quebec
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Professor G. V. Middleton
Coarse sandstones of the allochthonous Lower Ordovician Tourelle Formation occur in spectacular exposures along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. The formation is characterized by thick-bedded, coarse, massive sandstones. Individual graded beds may be tens of metres thick, and may contain slabs of shale, siltstone, or bedded chert up to 16 m in length. Cross-stratification and unusual near-horizontal stratification are the only internal depositional structures. Fluid-escape pillars indicate post-depositional liquefaction. Associated facies are thick shale units, rippled siltstones, slurry sandstones, classical turbidites, slump sheets, and clastic injections.
The Tourelle Formation was deposited on the channelized mid-fan of a submarine-fan complex. Several major channels (to 13 m deep) contain sandstone fills which thin upward. Most asymmetric megasequences thin upward, and are also interpreted as channel fills. These cycles average 20 m thick. A model for the filling of submarine fan channels is presented. Well-defined thinning or thickening upward trends are not common, although thinning upward cycles dominate sequence (Markov) analysis.
At some outcrop localities, packets of coarse sandstone alternate with thick shale horizons, interpreted as mud blankets over abandoned mid-fan lobes. Rippled siltstones are interpreted as overbank deposits adjacent to distributary channels.
Thick sandstones can be divided into stratified or massive layers, which may be capped by normal tractional structures. Inverse-graded stratification bands (to 10 cm thick) are based by a near-horizontal scour surface. Several such "bands" form a division of stratification. Stratified layers are well graded (distribution grading), and have a strong and consistent a-axis fabric, with long axis parallel to flow. Upcurrent imbrication exceeds 20°. These layers were deposited beneath supercritical turbidity currents. Stratification bands formed by progressive "freezing" of a flowing grain layer at the base of the current.
Massive layers may be well graded, poorly graded, inverse-to-normally graded, or ungraded. a-axis grain orientation is most strongly developed at the base and top of layers. The middle parts of individual units may have bimodal or isotropic fabrics, with both upcurrent and downcurrent imbrications. Most massive layers, or divisions, were deposited rapidly from dense, supercritical turbulent suspensions as a result of decreasing current capacity at velocities on the order of 10 m sˉ¹. Unusually thick layers containing enormous blocks were probably transported by laminar debris flows on slopes of 0.02 to 0.05.
The average composition of Tourelle sandstones is 45.6% quartz, 8.2% feldspar, 13.4% rock fragments, 16.1% chloritic matrix, and 15.3% calcite "cement". These sands contained 10 to 15% primary detrital matrix. The most distinctive rock fragments are radiolarian chert, and mafic to felsic volcanic detritus. The heavy mineral suite contains rounded ultrastable zircon and tourmaline, abundant epidote group minerals and garnet, unstable prismatic hornblende and pyroxene, and 18% transluscent cherry-red chromite.
Tourelle detritus was derived by erosion of rising cordillera and obducted ophiolites in the interior of the nascent Taconic orogenic belt, and represents the first influx of detritus from a southeastern source. Previous sediments were eroded directly from the Grenville shield and its fringing carbonate bank. These sediments were recycled to form Tourelle sands.
A plate tectonic model is proposed which involves closing of a marginal ocean basin along a southeastward-dipping subduction zone, collision of the ancient continental margin of North America with a volcanic are situated on a micro-continent of crystalline Grenville basement, and obduction of a large sheet of ophiolite. Previously published models do not provide a source area for the Tourelle Formation, and must be considered inadequate.
The Tourelle dispersal system consisted of a series of small, closely-spaced and coalescing submarine fans which were consistently deflected to the west along a sloping, elongate depositional trough.

View from the Gutters: The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill
- Written by View from the Gutters on Tuesday, September 24 2013 and posted in Podcasts
This week on View from the Gutters, our topic work is The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill, by the legendary Walt Simonson. The arc—currently collected In Thor Visionaries: Walt Simonson, Vol. 1—formed the beginning of Walt Simonson's classic character redefining run on the title, introduced the character of Beta Ray Bill, and foreshadowed events that continue to influence Thor even today.
Simonson's time writing and drawing Thor in the mid 80s continues to be a stellar example of what 80s comics could produce. It transformed Thor from a super-hero with a secret identity and damsel love-interest into a full-time god who transversed the star-ways and battled elves and demons. This is the beginning of an era as important to Marvel as Jim Steranko's time on Nick Fury: Agent of Shield or Chris Claremont's relaunch of the X-Men in Giant-Sized X-Men #1
In our recommendation section our hosts nominated Cerebus, Vol. 1, X-Men: Vignettes, The Rabbi's Cat, The Invincible Ironman: The Five Nightmares, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles, Vol. 1 (IDW) for discussion on the next episode, and our selected title is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles, Vol. 1 (IDW)
Our hosts for this episode were Andrew Chard, Eric Manix, Joe Preti, Tobiah Panshin, and Cade Reynolds.

Movie News
New Jack Ryan Project Moves Forward With Steven Zaillian Rewriting!
Beaks here...
It's been a protracted development for Paramount's reboot of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan franchise, but now that A-list screenwriter Steven Zaillian has - per Deadline's Michael Fleming - been brought in to rewrite the heavily-tinkered-with script, it's clear that the studio is serious about getting this movie before cameras.
According to Fleming, the project - which is not based on a Clancy novel - has a working title of MOSCOW, and will deal with the helicopter crash that compelled him to either a) leave the Marines for Wall Street (book version), or b) become a desk-bound CIA analyst (movie version). In both versions, the accident spurred a crippling fear of flying.
Zaillian, who's one of the best screenwriters around, certainly knows his way around the Ryan character, having done some degree of rewriting on both PATRIOT GAMES (uncredited) and CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. Chris Pine will be the fourth actor to play Ryan (after Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck). TV veteran Jack Bender (LOST, THE SOPRANOS and ALIAS) is set to direct.

First Finally? I hope this doesn't suck
by GeneralKael
I really like Clancy's books, but the movie adaptations are uneven - Hunt for Red October was a great adaptation(although they obviously had to leave things out) but the other films make alot of changes. Willem Dafoe as John Clark? I don't think so.
Feb. 2, 2011, 3:05 p.m. CST
Ford did make a solid Ryan...

Whenever the one with the SUV ambush and Willem DaFoe comes on, I'll watch for a bit. Pine? Hmmm.....

why no article about Tyler Perry playing Alex Cross?
by yourSTEPDADDY
I know this site doesnt really report about black actors, but I think there should be some mention of a drag queen taking over a role played by Sir Morgan Freeman. PS: fuck Tyler Perry PPS: fuck Oprah

Most Interesting Piece of This Puzzle? Bender
by Crow3711
Say why you will about LOST as a show, but the guy knocked those episodes out of the fuckkng park each and every time direction-wise. The guy has talent. Can not wait to see what he does with a big, full scale movie production. Should be very exciting. The movie itself, and having a new Ryan adventure is exciting in itself, but I really think Bender is th most exciing thing about it. Always nice to have someone relatively fresh behind the camera on a new potential franchise.
The newest Clancy book rocked.

Almost more Ryans...

than Bonds. If they'd have listened to me and cast Paul Reubens, this would have been gold.

Ford was too badass to play Ryan
by whiskey_dick
His performance was great, don't get me wrong, but by the time he played Jack Ryan, he was already Indiana Solo, badass extraordinaire. There was never any doubt he was going to beat the shit out of Joaquim de Almeida and Sean Bean. Book-Ryan is a good man at the end of the day, and can certainly kick some ass when necessary, but he preferred not to fight until he was forced. He also has a certain self-satisfied smugness that Ford lacks. I prefer Baldwin, who you actually believe might be scared and insecure when he protests that he's "just an analyst". Ben Affleck wasn't inherently a bad choice either, though they neutered and updated Sum of All Fears to make it more marketable to teens.
Feb. 2, 2011, 3:53 p.m. CST
Ford is, was, and always will be...
by SA_Rhyno
...Jack Ryan. I'd still love to see Red Storm Rising made into a mini-series. I think a movie would fail, to long and not enough interest to make multiples. Without Remorse is the BEST of the Clancy books with John Clark in them.

Chopper does not exist in this dojo
by Cobra--Kai
"The project will deal with the helicopter crash"<p> Um... aren't helicopter crashes a little passe? I mean we get at least one helicopter crash in every action film or thriller. It's like the minimum requirement. TERMINATOR SALVATION had at least 3 or 4.<p> If they're pinning their hopes on wowing the audience with the spectacle of a 'helicopter crash', then damn. They really DO need a script doctor.
Feb. 2, 2011, 3:57 p.m. CST
Not a fan of this casting
by jay sinofsky
Ryan needs to be played by an everyman. The dude's an intelligence officer- you need someone who can be inconspicuous. Alec Baldwin was a great Jack Ryan. I'd much rather see Chris Pine play Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie. That dude is perfect for the role- fuck Wahlberg.
Feb. 2, 2011, 4:04 p.m. CST
My love for Harrison Ford knows no bounds
by TresEquis
But I always felt Baldwin was the perfect Jack Ryan. I think Hunt for Red October is one of the finest action-thrillers in the genre, and that everything clicks in the movie. And that Baldwin played the character pitch-perfect. Again, I love Ford, but was a bit underwhelmed by the adaptation of Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger just felt off. I actually enjoyed the Ben Affleck version as well.
Feb. 2, 2011, 4:06 p.m. CST
Chris Pine? Really? Who, exactly, did this guy blow? How is he the current "It" Man?
by Coughlins Laws
Yeah, I'll take a pass. They really fucked up continuity on this series and it just seems too forced now. The only books left to cover are the storyline about Ryan becoming President, which they obviously can't do with Chris Pine (or, maybe they will). It's just another one of those situations where they should just drop the name and claim it as it's own story. Like The Honeymooners, or Karate Kid, or Annie, or Arthur...
Feb. 2, 2011, 4:08 p.m. CST
Ford was never all that intersting in the role, sa_rhyno.
by Peter Franks
After Baldwin knocked it out of the fucking park in The Hunt For Red October, re-casting was a mistake. Not to mention that the Ford Clancy movies were fucking boring. Pine could be a decent choice, but for me, Baldwin will always be the cinematic Ryan. They should bring him back now and cast Val Kilmer as the villain. Two 80's Hunks who became Chunks. Let the bloated bastards fight it out in duplexes across the globe. It sounds at least as interesting as what they're bringing.

Jack Ryan Movies
by Mark
1. The Hunt For Red October 2. Clear and Present Danger 3. Patriot Games 4. The Sum of All Fears. Fears was actually pretty good if they had just swapped Affleck for Ford. Affleck was atrocious in it. Just watched Red October again last week, still stands up, a top-notch intelligent thrilling spy film.
Feb. 2, 2011, 4:16 p.m. CST
I'd rather see
by jay sinofsky
one of the John Clark books made into a movie. "Without Remorse" has the potential to be great, and could easily be translated from the Vietnam era storyline to something more recent, and "Rainbow Six" could be potentially a potentially epic ensemble piece, given the right producers, directors, and cast. I can't think of a good actor for Ding Chavez, but I think Michael Biehn needs to be brought out of cold storage to play the older Clark.
Feb. 2, 2011, 4:54 p.m. CST
Ford as Ryan- Peter Franks
by SA_Rhyno
When reading the books, Ryan always seemed the be the aloof, reluctant hero. While I agree that Baldwin was near perfect in Red October, I think that movie was stolen by the drama, intensity, and the Russian Sean Connery. In the two that Indy did, I felt that he captured my mental image of Ryan better (kind of like Tim Curry as the Clown from SKs- "IT". I couldn't stand Affleck as Ryan, although I am a fan of some of his work (although I think he's much better behind the camera than in front of it (he was the worst part of The Town IMO and should have left more of himself on the cutting room floor). Rainbow Six was garbage as is all the book that have followed. I am still looking for the bridge between the USMC and Langley, I hope that's the direction they go.
Feb. 2, 2011, 4:58 p.m. CST
Patriot Games FTW
by MattmanReturns
"Bloody proud of yourself, aren't you? You stuck your nose in where it didn't belong. And now you've killed mah baby broother." "It just... pissed me off." "Here's hoping you never get mad at me, man."

Pine is way to young - he's still in nappies
by Swordfleece
Feb. 2, 2011, 5:29 p.m. CST
With all the novels about this guy...
by ChickenStu
Why try and do an original script? The existing four movies are only loosely a series as it is. It's not like it's James Bond. Most people on the street wouldn't know that Patriot Games and Clear And Present Danger are sequels to The Hunt For Red October. If they've got a good story... why not make it original? Surely it doesn't have to be about Ryan?
Feb. 2, 2011, 5:43 p.m. CST
Chris Pine is two years younger than Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October
by Yaroh_Meringue
Old-ass Harrison Ford as Ryan has warped your mind
Feb. 2, 2011, 6:05 p.m. CST
Ford could still play President Ryan
by Nem_Wan
I think Ford has even expressed interest recently.
Feb. 2, 2011, 6:25 p.m. CST
The Hunt for Red October was the only good Ryan film.
by Chewtoy
The Ford ones were decent, but kind of tediously paced. Hell, cheesy Air Force One was a more entertaining version than any of his true Ryan roles. I never saw the Affleck one. Nobody has surpassed Baldwin in the role.
Feb. 2, 2011, 7:24 p.m. CST
Hope they break the downward trend...
by Timothy_Olyphants_Oliphaunt
My take on the series: Hunt for Red October = totally awesome Patriot Games = really good Clear and Present Danger = not bad Sum of all Fears = kinda lousy
Feb. 2, 2011, 7:38 p.m. CST
Yeah, reboot, Affleck is so over
by CountryBoy
Feb. 2, 2011, 7:52 p.m. CST
Chris Pine
by maxjohnson1971
First Kirk and now Ryan? This guy is gunning for Harrison Ford iconic character numbers here huh? (I don't really put Ryan up there too far, but he is a well known character. Pine may have a shot at really making this "his" character. Gonna be tough, but he has the chance.)
Feb. 2, 2011, 8:27 p.m. CST
Without Remorse...
by vettebro
Why didn't they just make a bad ass movie of that book? WTF?
Feb. 2, 2011, 10:07 p.m. CST
Red Storm Rising
by Quackfu
Should be an HBO miniseries much like Band of Brothers. It is Clancey's first non-Ryan novel. About a modern conventional WWIII. Pretty fun read twenty years ago and would be easy to update.
Feb. 3, 2011, 12:47 a.m. CST
Red October is awesome!
by Munro Kelly
Everyone brought their A game, in front and behind the camera. Story has it that Paramount wanted Ford for the first film and he wasn't interested. When October became a big hit, Ford changed his mind. Paramount and the producers booted Baldwin and brought in Ford. Baldwin, playing nice and I assume compensated, didn't air the dirty business and told reporters it was his idea to move on.
Feb. 3, 2011, 3:45 a.m. CST
Thanks to Sean Connery...
by DC Films
...Sam Neil and of course the great John McTiernan, RED OCTOBER is a great film -- leagues above the dull sequels... (Baldwin is the best Ryan so far, too, but Pine's a talented actor).
Feb. 3, 2011, 6:37 a.m. CST
Chris Pine
by BuffyFaithtribyeah
Was'nt Ryan Gossling touted to be Jack Ryan at one point?
Feb. 3, 2011, 9:42 a.m. CST
Why Original story?
by homer40
Why original, when Red Rabbit, which was set long before Jack became the President, I think it had something to do with the attempted assassination of the Pope, is still there? Also, why not start doing films of the books about Jack Jr? Have Chris Pine play Jack Jr. There are two books now about him, one from a couple of years ago, and the new one, Dead or Alive, which is a turgid as all of them but non-stop fun. Christ, the new book has Jack as ex-president, Jack's kid, Clark and Ding, Mary Pat, all working together in a super secret intelligence outfit to get "The Emir" (or Bin Laden). Everything doesn't have to be a re-boot. Oh, and Baldwin was clearly the best Ryan. He just had that sparkle in his eye, the curiosity, and he projected just how smart Jack is, much better than Ford, who was fine in the role, but too old.
Feb. 3, 2011, 9:52 a.m. CST
Red Storm Rising please
by RogueWarrior65
Sorry, but that description makes me yawn profusely. Oooo, a helicopter crash gives him a case of PTSD. Bah!!! I want to see an epic mini-series on Red Storm Rising. I want to know what a Frisbee of Dreamland looks like. And if you can change the bad guys from the Russians to the Muslim Brotherhood, that would be great. Thanks.
Feb. 3, 2011, 1:36 p.m. CST
nice one
by mrbong
all the Jack Ryan films have been good. yeah, i even liked The Sum Of All Fears, even though i know you are supposed to consider Ben Affleck a cunt and hate everything he does if you visit this site.
Feb. 3, 2011, 2:48 p.m. CST
Red Storm Rising can only exist in Cold War era
by Jeditemple
Sorry, Roguewarrior65... But that story can only be told if it were set in the time it was written. IT HAS TO BE THE RUSSIANS and it has to be set in the 80's. The Muslim Brotherhood? Have you even read the book??? Go out and read it. You'll discover that about 75% of it takes place in the ocean. Muslim Brotherhood, my ass.
Feb. 3, 2011, 4:35 p.m. CST
Was Alec Baldwin offered Patriot Games? nm
by Dan Halen
Feb. 3, 2011, 4:36 p.m. CST
Why did Harrison Ford/Studio stop making Ryan Movies?
by Dan Halen
Plenty of books left.
Feb. 3, 2011, 9:40 p.m. CST
Baldwin / Patriot Games
by Munro Kelly
Baldwin and McTiernan were offered it but wanted to make changes or do another story. The two men are Irish and objected to the bad guys being the IRA. This also worked out for Paramount, who wanted to go with Ford, for the project.
Feb. 4, 2011, 2:19 p.m. CST
Why not Lee Childs?
by Scott Morales
Lee Childs has created a great character in Jack reacher, a former military cop who stumbles into more crap than a man should be allowed to...I would love to see a series of movies with him as the main character
Feb. 7, 2011, 9:29 a.m. CST
According to this:
by Daragh Wickham
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,315556,00.html Baldwin got F'd in the A. Shame, he made the perfect Ryan. Mind you, Clear & Present Danger is very watchable.

October 4, 2012
Bob Rotruck is reporting from Voorhees, NJ during
Phantoms training camp.
Wow, time really flies. Feels like we just started.
But now it is pretty much time to start packing
up and get ready to get outta here.
The Phantoms have a couple more morning skates
while also making some tough roster decisions.
Also on the slate are a couple of scrimmages away
from the Skate Zone that have yet to be officially
announced. But we will be there with all the details
when they happen.
The players leave Voorhees on Sunday. Right now,
there are still 39 players remaining in camp.
By the time we get to Glens Falls, I'm guessing
that will be down to 22 or so. Definitely a lot
of tough decisions in there. And an almost certain
bet is that some of the guys who were with the
Phantoms last year and WOULD be with the Phantoms
this year will end up having to be sent down to
Trenton of the ECHL. All part of the chain-reaction
game of the NHL sending so many players to their
AHL teams to begin this year.
The Phantoms aren't alone in that regard. Most
of the AHL teams are getting NHL talent. And ECHL
teams are all getting pretty overloaded with some
really good AHL-caliber players too.
Had some more videos today. A couple of drills
and also a couple of interviews. Ian Laperriere
is the new Director of Player Development for
the Philadelphia Flyers and is excited at the
amount of talent his team has. Cullen Eddy returns
to the Phantoms for his third season. But it's
his first season with an NHL contract. He had
been on an AHL contract before. That's a big credit
to him and what he's done with his game and it's
obvious the Flyers like the path he is on.
Cullen Eddy
Here are some videos from practice.
Phantoms Speed Comin at Ya!

Good News, Hockey Fans! The regular season is just around the corner and teams are in their final stages of preparing for their opening games: finalizing their rosters and making the necessary adjustments.
The Anaheim Ducks took the night off from prep work on Tuesday and took the time to meet their fans at their Meet the Team charity event. Although this is an annual event, this year, it was unlike any other that came before it.
This year's main event was a Wii Boxing tournament that kicked off with a friendly match between hockey heavyweight George Parros and MMA legend and Orange County native, Tito Ortiz.
Fans had a chance to enter a drawing in which they were paired against a Ducks player and got to fight them, via the gaming system of course and each winner advanced to the next round until there was a champion. There was also fighting matches auctioned off in a live auction; Wii Boxing matches against four Ducks players, who did not partake in the original tournament: Ryan Getzlaf, Teemu Selanne, Bobby Ryan, and George Parros.
On top of the live auction, there was also a silent auction, which featured such prizes as a suite for a game, a game night experience with General Manager Bob Murray, glass seats for a night and a 2010-11 team signed jersey.
Proceeds of the event were split between two organizations: Register Charities and the Anaheim Ducks Foundation. Register Charities strives to provide relief of poverty and distress in Orange County. The Anaheim Ducks Foundation maintains and assists programs that encourage positive change for children and families in Southern California through sports, education and wellness.
Catching up with a Few Fan Favorites
Joffrey Lupul: After having surgery on a herniated disc last winter, Lupul spent most of his summer fighting an infection from the surgery and still has no idea when he will be able to start playing hockey again.
"I don't have a time frame yet," Lupul said. "I talked to the doctors, I'm doing really good, but they want me to take it slow so there's no reoccurrence or anything."
Lupul, however, is focusing on training and getting back into shape, so that when he is finally cleared to play, it will hopefully be a smooth transition.
Cam Fowler: One the newest Ducks, Fowler is just starting to get his feet wet. He is definitely looking forward to making his NHL debut against Detroit in Joe Louis Arena on Friday.
"I've got some family coming, so hopefully they'll wear their gold and orange and get rid of that red," said the Michigan native. "It's good to have the support from my family."
Enjoying adjusting to the Southern California lifestyle, Fowler said his most interesting experience on the West coast so far was a deep-sea fishing excursion with his teammates.
Ryan Getzlaf: This has been quite a year for the first line center: winning Olympic gold, tying the knot this summer, and being named Captain for the 2010-11 season are just a few of the highlights.
"I'm honored to be wearing that 'C' and following in some pretty good footsteps," he claimed, after being elected by his teammates. "It's al part of the process right now and where I wanted to be in the future and I'm lucky enough to do it at a young age that I am now and hopefully I can continue on for many years."
Teemu Selanne: The Finnish Flash has been quoted this offseason stating that the 2010-11 season will be his last.
However, when asked about that statement, he said, "I've learned over the years [to] never say never, but that's how I feel right now." Although he has not set any goals for himself on the ice, he professed, "I just hope and wish I can stay healthy," and wants to play in more games than he did last season.
The Ducks will kick off their season against the Red Wings in Detroit this Friday, October 8th and return to Anaheim for their home opener against Vancouver on October 13th.

I LOVE my appointments with my dentist. I look forward to perusing the magazine racks in the waiting room and reading and daydreaming about my next vacation in Italy. I dream about the drive through country roads lined with sunflowers and rolling hills as we approach our villa on top of a hill hidden behind a a row of Cypress trees. It is so nice to imagine myself sipping a glass of wine while eating these: prosciutto, arugula and mozzarella on grilled flatbread.
I savor every bite while thoughts of my children terrorizing the babysitter at home flash through my mind. I smile to myself…this is heaven. I have managed to turn my thirty minute wait at my dentist's office into a beautiful vacation in Perugia, Italy. This is where I slept…
And this is where my flat bread sandwiches were made…
Oh, and honey…you were right there with me! ;-)
I had a wonderful time until I was so rudely interrupted by my hygienist who had to remind me that I was there for a cleaning. So, away I went, into the dentist's chair trying to fall back into this blissful Italian dream with the sounds of someone scraping away at my teeth.
After the cleaning, I was seen by my dentist who asks me every time how I am doing and is so understanding of what I have been going through. He is one of the few doctors that really seems to understand how debilitating this disease can become and how hard it is to find doctors who will even test or treat for Lyme. He has had two friends who came down with Lyme. One was paralyzed on the whole right side of his body and is finally doing better after being on antibiotics. He has another friend who just recently lost 25 pounds in two weeks and went to a world-renowned hospital in Boston (the same hospital I had the pleasure of going and meeting with 6 doctors that diagnosed me with anxiety). The doctor diagnosed him with testicular cancer and he was due to go in for chemo two weeks ago. FORTUNATELY, he asked for a Lyme test. That came back positive so now he is being treated for Lyme and never had testicular cancer in the first place. How can a doctor make such a HUGE mistake????? This is absolutely unacceptable.
So, I left my little villa in Italy with clean teeth and a new toothbrush and now I'm off to do some yoga at the gym. This has turned out to be the most beautiful, relaxing day for me. I should do this more often.
I hope all of you are enjoying the nice, warm weather.

Marble is of the first two types.
Dolomitic Marble
Dolomitic Marble is layered (or sedimentary) in character and contains a mineral called "Dolomite." This type of marble is created from Limestone through the actions of pressure, heat and various minerals that pass or percolate through the rock during formation.
There are 3 major groups of Dolomitic Marble:
1) Travertines (from salt-water Limestone)
2) Serpentines (from fresh-water Limestone), and
3) Onyxs Dolomitic marble comes from the quarrier in the following sizes and shapes: Slab: (2-3 cm thick - standard) 3'x6' to 7'x10' (Avg: 4'x8') Tile: (3/8" to 3/4" thick) 6"x6" to 24"x24" (Standard: 12"x12")
WARNING: All Dolomitic marbles are highly porous and very susceptible to weathering, thus, they should not be used for exterior applications which expose the stone to extreme weather conditions. Dolomitic marble is available from the quarrier in two basic finishes: Polished (Voids filled or unfilled), and Honed (Satin Finish)
Calcinate Marble
Calcinate Marble is changed (or metamorphic) in character and is created from Limestone through pressure and extreme heat. It is composed primarily of the mineral "Calcite." Calcinate Marble is harder and more durable than Dolomitic Marble.
Calcinate Marble:
Ranges in color from pure white to white or grey Has veins of differing colors caused by mineral impurities Sparkles like diamonds because of the light bouncing off of the large Calcite crystals
Calcinate marble comes in the following sizes and shapes:
Slab: (3/4" to 1" thick) 3'x6' to 7'x10' (Avg 4'x8') Tile: (3/8" to 3/4" thick) 6"x6" to 24"x24" (Avg 12"x12")
Like Dolomitic Marbles, all Calcinate Marbles are available in two basic finishes:

Granite Tiles & Slabs
Granite is volcanic (or Igneous) rock. When molten material from the Earth's core called "magma" comes up to just beneath the Earth's surface and cools, it becomes Granite. Granite is very hard and extremely durable. It has a very grainy structure and can be polished well. This type of stone comes in a variety of colors ranging from salt and pepper to reddish brown to jet black.
Granite comes from the quarry in the following sizes:
Slab: (3/4" to 1" thick) 3'x6' to 7'x10' (Avg 4'x8') Tile: (3/8" to 3/4" thick) 6"x6" to 24"x24" (Avg 12"x12")
Granite is available in several finishes including:
Polished Honed (Rough Finish - Special Order)
Flame Textured (Rough Finish - Normally Special Order)
