Despite being the closest challenger to Mercedes, Daniel Ricciardo will need to rely on strategy just to score points in Bahrain.
The Red Bull racer finished third in qualifying on Saturday night, posting a 1:34.051 to pole sitter Nico Rosberg's 1:33.185.
It was a good showing from the Australian, who was the only driver aside from Lewis Hamilton to get within a second of Rosberg's P1 time.
"Really pleased with the performance," Ricciardo said when joined the Merc duo in Saturday's press conference. "At moment it's the best anyone else can do behind the two guys alongside me.
"We's still got ground to make up on them but I'm pleased with qualifiying tonight.
"It's been really tricky, the temperature drops a lot for the evening sessions and as you saw in P3 we were a long way off but it turned around this evening - it's nice to close the gap.
"Tomorrow, unfortunately, I don't stay at the front here, so there's work to do and we'll move forward from there."
Ricciardo will drop ten places on the Sakhir grid on Sunday night after being hit with a penalty for an unsafe release at the previous race in Malaysia.
The Red Bull racer, though, is refusing to rule out the chance of making up good ground in Sunday's race and says he may look to strategy to do just that.
"We've got some good guys in the office back there who I am sure will do what they can to get me as far up the front as possible.
"It's close between two and three stops and maybe there is a bit of room for us to try something from there."

This instructable will show you how to construct a laser tripwire that can twitter and grab an image from a webcam, as well as execute any command you can put in a bash script.
This instructable is actually quite simple and is even suitable as a beginner arduino project. It requires a GNU/linux (or possibly Mac) operating system with the arduino IDE and Processing IDE working properly. This project could also be implemented in Windows if you created a more complex processing application.
Hardware Requirements
Arduino Board
Laser pointer/pen
Light Dependant Resistor
100Kohm Resistor
Software Requirements
Arduino IDE
Processing IDE
Linux OS (I'm using Arch Linux for this project)
Webcam (part of xawtv)
Other Stuff:
Solder and Soldering Iron
Hot Glue Gun
Straw or Ballpoint Pen
Step 1: Connecting The LDR
I needed the LDR and the laser to be in a position where they would not move around so I connected my LDR and resistor directly to the Arduino without a breadboard, but you can do it however you like, below are the photos for soldering and bending them into shape I also included a simple diagram.
I cut the end off of a ballpoint pen so that I could slip it over the LDR to prevent ambient light from affecting the reading, you could also use a straw.
I had to mod the code a little to get it to work on MAC (OSX) 10.6.8 so thought I should upload my code for others to use. Many thanks and here it is.
int ledPin = 13; // digital pin to which led is connected
int analogPin = 0; // analog pin to which ldr is connected
int ldrVal = 0; //variable to store ldr value
int threshold = 1000; //variable to store threshold in memory
void setup()
Serial.begin(9600); //set baud rate
void loop()
ldrVal = analogRead(analogPin);
if ( ldrVal > threshold )
P.s. Im am a complete new person to arduinos and programming so i have no idea!
in the processing code with the location of your files. eg.
That is all that you have to modify from my instructable. Also, don't follow the instructions where it says that you have to hide it or make it run on startup. I hope that helps, Good Luck!
/home/your_username/" where do i find the /home/my-username? folder ? and which software i will use the arduino or processing to load the script thanks.
User SuperTweet.net instead. Youre still using curl but supertweet.net acts as a proxy between you and twitter, allowing you to use basic auth. Twitter now uses oAuth which is a pain. For the code below, use your SuperTweet username and password, it is separate from your twitter login.
trip=$(date +'%A %n %d, %l:%M%p' )
stat="["$trip"] Door has been opened"
curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -d "status=$stat" http://api.supertweet.net/1/statuses/update.xml --insecure
fill(#36ff00) how could i fix this im running windows btw
Excellent project, but it appears now twitter does not support basic authentication when you run curl...what need to be changed in the bash script?

Gallatin Fossil Plant – Installation of Air Pollution Control Equipment and Associated Facilities
Sumner County, Tennessee
On March 12, 2013, TVA issued a final environmental assessment (EA), finding of no significant impact (FONSI), and decision memorandum on its proposal to construct and operate air pollution control equipment and associated facilities at its Gallatin Fossil Plant.
In order to meet the new Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, to comply with the April 2011 Clean Air Act Agreements with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, the States of Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina, and three environmental advocacy groups (the Sierra Club, the National Parks Conservation Association, Our Children's Earth Foundation), and to maintain a balanced portfolio of energy sources on the TVA power system in accordance with the Integrated Resource Plan, TVA proposes to construct and operate dry flue gas desulfurization ("scrubber"), selective catalytic reduction, pulse jet fabric filter, and activated carbon injection systems. TVA also proposes to construct and operate a landfill on the Gallatin plant site for the dry storage of the coal combustion residues. The proposed action will result in substantial reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury, and acid gases. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, TVA developed an EA for this action. Based on the evaluations in the final EA, TVA determined that the proposed action would not result in significant impacts on the environment and has therefore issued the FONSI.
A draft of the EA was issued for public review and comment on October 17, 2012 for a 30-day review. In response to requests, TVA extended the comment period an additional two weeks to November 30. TVA subsequently agreed to accept late comments from several environmental advocacy groups until December 18, 2012. TVA received 1,199 comment submissions, including letters, emails, and submissions through the project website. Most of the comment submissions were pre-printed postcards or one of two form emails generated through advocacy group websites. TVA has carefully evaluated the comments and provided responses to them in Appendix E of the final EA.

UPDATE 7/9/11: The AC power fed relay has been replaced with a DC battery fed relay system as shown in step 10.
UPDATE: We have been selected as finalists in the microcontroller contest! Thank you for voting and rating. Thank you also for all the feedback on the safety of out relay system. We hope the new instructions are clear. We will be continually updating as we make progress on the new design.
Hello Everyone!
My name is Clover and I am in love with vascular plants and robots.
This summer I wanted to combine my two loves of plant science and engineering. Thus I am constructing my very own greenhouse in my backyard. I am an undergrad, and as any former student knows, this means I move around constantly, and I am not always around to take care of my vegetable garden. I love my plants but since I am moving back to school in July, and my family is unreliable, I need a way to make sure that they are taken care of. Enter Arduino!
I have constructed an automated watering and temperature system. This includes sensors that will turn the systems on only when needed. This is essential when the ever-changing New England weather demands some intelligence in watering and heating patterns.
This is my first project using an Arduino so I am using wonderful articles from MAKE and Instructables as very helpful templates. Already the Instructables, MAKE, and Ladyada blogs have been ridiculously helpful so, worry not biology nerds, you too can show the engineers just how awesome we are!
great idea, i think it could do with a bit of colour, but other than it it's a great design.
in making your plantdruino i noticed that in your code you use pin 13 to turn on and off your relay outlet, but with your wiring you never mentioned connecting pin 13 with the relay terminals. Im guessing you added extra terminals in so you had the option to control other things like temperature and light, but i noticed that in your project you are exclusively dealing with moisture.
could you clarify how you connect your relay with the arduino.
Question for you about the moisture sensors. One nail was connected directly to +5V. And the other nail was connected to the Arduino analog pin (zero in your case) correct? In your video you can see how one nail has a red wire connected to it (I assume this goes to the Arduino). The second nail looks like it may have a black wire connected to it but it's not exactly clear. And you don't mention that it is getting power. You don't mention it in the video or describe it above, so I just wanted to make sure I understood how to do it correctly. Your diagram seems to show it is connected directly to power. Please confirm.
I love it. Can't wait to build my own. Great job!
http://geodesic-greenhouse-kits.com/greenhouse_designNEW.php 4. Water Tank
This unusual greenhouse design feature, a large water tank acts as the "Power Pack" of the Dome. The water mass keeps the Dome warm in the winter and cool in the summer creating optimum environment for year 'round growth. Can be used as a beautiful space for aquatic plants and for growing fish.
5. Undersoil Heating System
A solar panel produces electricity to power a fan which blows hot air through pipes buried in the raised soil beds. Every day when the sun shines, your soil is being heated. It also helps cool the greenhouse in the summer. This is a unique greenhouse design feature that makes year 'round growing a reality. Raised bed gardening is simple and easy on the back!
Not criticising, just always curious how others do stuff in order to learn
I just noticed the swimming pool at the end of the video. You could put a fan/radiator in the Greenhouse and pump water from the pool to circulate between the radiator and pool.... heating the pool and cooling the greenhouse.
Oh, and -- got Aquaponics? ;-)
Thanks. :)
We used this relay from sparkfun:
It is activated by 5 volts and can handle 250 volts AC
Helga out
Hope that was the right reference.
Water is actually far less significant. I'm afraid this setup would cook the plants on the first sunny day.
I would like to see this controller applied to a 12'x 16' greenhouse with some AC fans to blow the heat down into undersoil Perforated Drainage Pipe.
That stores the heat in the ground and pulls in clean outside air the plants will suffocate without.
In thermal extremes, a misting system can be employed via a solenoid.
Just a minute of water pressure will give you four minutes of mist.
Water can be used for thermal mass as well. Combine the fan with a heat exchanger such as an automotive radiator. Pump the water from a reservoir (I'm using two 35 gallon rubbermaid trash cans) through the radiator using a 12/24v pump.
The water in my system typically fluctuates between 40 and 65 degrees F. Which translates into roughly 14500 Btu's of heat storage. Presently in the process of implementing a larger heat exchanger to get more BTUs... to keep the greenhouse above freezing at 7000 feet in January.
Meanwhile ambient air temps are managed at under 90 deg F in my 14x8 greenhouse - whereas without the heat exhanger, temps were well over 110 :-)
I love how you came up w/ a green house and your love for plants!
I love your creativity and style for the birdhouse! (even tho it's not for birds)
You're awesome "Clover"!
I was going to save the pdf for future reading and maybe doing the relay thing next year but I noticed the wiring hazards. I didn't want to save the pdf and have anyone I know find it later and think the wiring was safe. Please, for your own safety, install, or have an electrician install a gfi at your power source. Your 110 wiring entering and exiting your outlet box should be protected from abrasion and tension as well as all the other forms of wiring abuse that come with a movable circuit. Inside the box, and what caught my eye, you're using stranded wiring on your outlet. Stranded is good in many cases and can be the safer bet where flexing is present in a wiring project but special connectors should be used on the ends to prevent things like....FROG HAIRS....
'But frogs don't have hairs!' you say?' You're right! Frogs don't have hairs and neither should your outlet wiring. All those loose strands of wire might appear innocent and safe but, with a little flexing, they can go in lots of directions and should a hot hair touch a neutral or ground hair, your focus will turn from plant science to plasma research in less than a second. Even with a gfi, you can generate an arc and plasma hot enough to turn clothes...and things like skin or fingers to charcoal in a fraction of a second. Plasma is a different state of matter that is fine on the sun or in a lab but not close to nice but unprotected living things such as your plants or yourselves.
You might ask an electrician about helping with the 110vac portion of your project. The rules and regulations those folks work with come from painful and deadly experience of earlier people and are the attempts of the industry to prevent or minimize the hazards of electrical power. Stranded wire, by the way, might not meet residential building code in many cities and towns.
Please protect yourself and those you care for, hopefully that includes everyone, and find an electrician friend to help with the power planning and wiring.
I do like the rest of the project, however. Thank you.
I am not sure why you would darken your wire ("tint") or deep fry it ("breaded")? You probably mean "tin" it as in cover with solder, and it is "stranded" not "braided".
Either way, if you do not have proper training, PLEASE call your local electrician to help you. it could save your family a trip to the morgue. Electricity is not to be played with. Even with a GFCI protecting you it can get hairy (especially if you went cheap on the GFCI and it is one of the bad non-protecting Chinese versions that get into residential construction sometimes).
Using the push in connectors on a switch or outlet will contain the stranded wires like a crimp terminator. That, however, isn't what we are talking about because it isn't what happened in this case.
A GFCI will not protect you from arc flash and won't trip on all power faults. It trips on hot neutral imbalance only. All other faults would fall back to the circuit breaker which is much slower than the GFCI. (Do you do your pm work on your circuit breakers?)
GFCI and circuit breakers will fail and are not a substitute for a the safest wiring job you can provide.
I particulary like the comments looking for low voltage solutions to this situation.
That's very good thinking and I think I'm going to look into that and try this.
Thanks, again, and good luck!
(estoy pensando en modificar los sensores de humedad por dos terminales de cobre ya que el salitre acabaría muy rápido con el galvanizado de los clavos) Gracias otra vez!
I think the point's been made adequately about the dangers of unruly electrons, but I'll reiterate all the same...please fix that.
There's a lot to be said for low voltage D.C. systems in this type of application as well. Easily adapted to solar. Less dangerous. Simpler to back-up for power outs. Not detracting, just throwin' it out there for further consideration.
Also thermal mass helps to buffer extreme temperature swings. Water vessels, piles or layers of rock, concrete - all work like giant thermal batteries.
I've built and used many different types of methods and houses, and even in New England you're apt to encounter problems with over heating. Swamp coolers, thermostatic vents, fans and earth tube ventilators are all potential solutions, but leaving your little terra-hut completely untended may produce some unwelcome surprises upon your return. Might want to check out a shade cloth depending on when you're going to be around and when you're not.
Again, great job...but what's with the lid? Even biology majors have to take history and math don't they?
What do you mean by lid?

UPDATE: Hit the slideshow for all the beautiful photos from this campaign. If you ask us, Lana's never looked so good — and the fall collection is definitely on our wish lists.
We've been speculating about it for a few weeks now, but today H&M confirmed that songstress Lana Del Rey will star in its fall ad campaigns. The clothes are apparently "modern and feminine" with a "soft attitude," which, minus "good for twirling," sounds pretty much exactly like our Lana.
We're used to seeing Lana via her videos, typically glossy, high-fashion affairs (ever since the first few grainy DIYs) – so we're not surprised to see how perfect she looks in the first images released from the H&M campaign, shot by Inez and Vinoodh (duh). She'll also model for their Christmas ads, so get ready to see Miss Lana Del Rey in a Miss Lana Del sleigh. (WWD)
What do you think of Lana's new gig? Was she meant for modeling all along?

Two masked men dressed in black clothing, including one armed with a handgun, robbed a clerk early Sunday morning of an undisclosed amount of money, St. Mary's detectives report, at the Charlotte Hall Exxon convenience store.
The culprits ran away from the scene of the 2:27 a.m. holdup, and a police dog tracked their scent until reaching the area of a nearby restaurant, according to the St. Mary's Bureau of Criminal Investigations. No arrests were reported as of midday Monday.
Detectives requested that anyone with information about the crime call Cpl. Robert Merritt at 301-475-4200, ext. 9042, or Crime Solvers at 301-475-3333, or send cellphone tips in to "TIP239," plus the message to "CRIMES" (274637). Callers and tipsters do not have to leave their name. If the information leads to an arrest and conviction, the caller or tipster may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Gallery: Affordable Earthquake Resistant Homes Made From Straw
This year we witnessed the extraordinary danger of mixing buildings with earthquakes, particularly in poor regions — fortunately, a group called PAKSBAB is finding solutions. Pakistan Straw Bale and Appropriate Building is a nonprofit working at developing durable buildings that can be built with local resources, little money and stay safe during devastating earthquakes like the 2005 7.5 quake in Kashmir. The key ingredient is handmade straw bales.
PAKSBAB's founder, Darcey Donovan P.E., left for Northern Pakistan to lend a hand in rebuilding the devastated region. She brought with her a lot of experience with straw bale building. She found that there were no baling machines where housing was needed so she developed a simple jack and form system to produce the needed straw bales. The prestressed bails are set on a stone foundation and support a truss roof. Bamboo and netting help secure the walls. The bails act as both the supporting wall and insulation. A couple coats of clay plaster protect and help preserve the straw. The 25 ft by 25 ft buildings cost a mere $2250 for materials — what many of us are willing to pay for countertops. Currently they have finished 11 buildings that are energy-efficient, safe, and very low impact.
How do they fare in earthquakes? To find out Ms. Donovan built an 11 ft by 11 ft straw bale structure on a seismic simulation table and let 'er shake. This video shows it in action. Although severely damaged, the building did not appear in danger of collapse, even at the end of the test sequence. This means lives saved and resources wisely used by applying appropriate building technologies for those who can most benefit. Add another item to the list of the positive values of straw bale building.

Some of the ingredients used sound like they belong more in a kitchen or a garden rather than a spa -- rosemary, honey, butter, clay, chocolate, and eucalyptus.
But these are used in various types of body wraps -- a service that spa owners say is growing in popularity.
Move over, massages. Or buddy up. The body wraps can be done separately or as part of a package that includes a massage.
Some spas promote body wraps as nothing more than a relaxing, moisturizing way to spend a little time and money. But others tout specific body wraps as a way to detoxify, slim down, or deal with cellulite -- claims that physicians warn are not accurate.
Here's what you need to know before you get wrapped -- and invest the $85 or so typically charged for a body wrap.
What Is a Body Wrap?
If you're thinking that a body wrap is a mummy-like wrap, you've got the idea but not the context.
When body wraps were first offered decades ago, linen sheets were used, says Susie Ellis, president of SpaFinder, Inc., an industry group based in New York. The wraps were then mostly called herbal wraps. "'Body wraps' is a term that came to mean more than herbal wraps"' and became popular in the 1980s and 90s, Ellis says.
Soon, the linen sheets were replaced by plastic and by thermal blankets, Ellis tells WebMD.
Although the service varies from spa to spa, typically you are led to a darkened room with flickering candles, soft music, and a massage table, says Stephanie Carney, a massage therapist at rA Organic Spa in Burbank, Calif., who provides body wraps, with or without a massage.
On a recent day, Carney layered her massage table to prepare it for a body wrap. At the bottom was the thermal blanket. On top of that was plastic that would be used to wrap the client, then towels, and on the very top, sheets to keep the client warm.
"We start out with a scrub," Carney says. At her spa, that could be the mud scrub, pear and green apple scrub, or other options. You're then taken to the shower and rinsed before the wrap products -- in the same varieties as the scrub -- are applied.
Carney smoothes on the wrap products in a thin layer, wrapping body parts as she goes.
When you're entirely wrapped -- with your arms at your sides, unless you're claustrophobic -- the electric thermal blanket is pulled up and over you.
There you stay for about 30 minutes, and the blanket heat is typically hot enough to make you sweat.
After that, "we cool down slowly,'' Carney says.
The final step is to rinse again and apply lotion. "Your skin is going to feel really smooth," Carney tells her clients. Most clients tell her the treatment is also relaxing.
Body Wrap Options
Options for body wraps are plentiful, but Ellis says the choices can be generally classified as:
- Moisturizing: Uses a variety of lotions and ingredients
- Detox wraps: Includes ingredients such as seaweed or mud that have more ''pulling'' action, Ellis says
- Slimming wrap: Uses smaller strips of material that are wrapped tightly.
- Cellulite wrap: Typically uses herbal remedies
What Can a Body Wrap Do -- and Not Do?
What you can expect from a body wrap depends on who you talk to -- a spa operator or a physician.
No one disputes the moisturizing capability of a wrap or the relaxation of lying motionless for nearly an hour.
But there's not consensus on other claims about what body wraps deliver.
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," says Sandra Fryhofer, MD, past president of the American College of Physicians. Fryhofer is in private practice in Atlanta and is a clinical associate professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine.
Here is a quick look at what body wraps will -- and won't -- do for you.
Can a Body Wrap Detox?
The claim sounds good, but lacks scientific evidence, doctors say. "There's never been any real scientific evidence that body wraps pull out toxins or purify your body in any way," says Elizabeth Tanzi, MD, a Washington, D.C. dermatologist (who does not offer body wraps in her practice) and clinical instructor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
But the extent of the ''detox'' claim varies from spa to spa. Carney of rA Organic Spa, for instance, says the body wraps detox the skin of impurities. ''When your body sweats, you are detoxing your skin," she says, ''not your liver or your kidneys."
Depending on the product uses, that might be true, Tanzi tells WebMD. "There are some benefits to, say, a clay body treatment," she says. "Those can pull out some impurities in the skin, in the pores."
Tanzi has used a clay-based mask for acne patients, with success.
But as for detox claims beyond that, forget it, doctors say. "I don't know of any scientific basis for the detox," Fryhofer says.
Can a Body Wrap Slim You?
As for the slimming wraps, "any loss of inches is going to be temporary,'' Fryhofer says. ''Wraps cannot take the place of a healthy diet and exercise."
Susie Ellis agrees. "After you take the [slimming] wrap off, there will be an appearance of tightness," she says. "It is definitely temporary." It may last, she says, for a day or two.
But if you're trying to look good for a day at the beach on your honeymoon, for instance, temporary improvement may be good enough, Ellis says. "I look at those slimming wraps like a spray tan," she says. "It's temporary, but sometimes temporary is OK."
"They won't give you long-term weight loss," Tanzi says. "They can temporarily make you feel a little thinner and when you look at the scale the pounds can go down a pound or two. But that's water weight loss. It's a temporary phenomenon."
Can a Body Wrap Banish Cellulite?
Likewise, the cellulite body wraps won't take away the dimpled skin, Ellis says. "The appearance can be better," she says. But even the best cellulite wrap ''does not take away cellulite, it does not suck out fat."
Tanzi agrees. "It may make cellulite look better for a day or two," by plumping up the skin, she says.
''I've had a few guests think they would lose inches or cellulite," says Isaac Guerrero, assistant spa director at Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa in Corona, Calif. "We have to explain that this is not what we claim. It's for moisturizing the skin, that's predominantly what a lot of wraps are for."
Body Wrap Caveats
If you have sensitive skin, beware body wrap ingredients that have a lot of fragrance, Tanzi says. They could cause irritation. She encourages people to ask about ingredients before choosing a wrap.
She finds clay less irritating to the skin than fragrant oils.
If you are on any prescription medications, find out the ingredients of the body wrap you are considering, Fryhofer suggests. Then, call your doctor to see if there are any problems.
She says herbals can be absorbed through the skin and could potentially affect some medications.
If you tend to suffer from claustrophobia, a body wrap may not be relaxing to you. Carney informs her clients ahead that she typically wraps a person mummy-like, with arms at the sides.
''Be sure to stay hydrated,'' Fryhofer says. During a typical wrap, you can do a lot of sweating -- so it's important to replenish the water in your body.
Lastly, if you decide to get wrapped, enjoy it. "It feels really good,"Tanzi says. "It soothes frayed nerves."
Just remember: ''It's more for relaxation purposes than medicinal," she says.

Buccaneer Soccer: 2002 Season in Review, Q&A with Head Coach Heather Henson
Wednesday, December 18, 2002JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (December 17, 2002) - East Tennessee State University women's soccer team finished the 2002 campaign 6-11-1 overall, 3-5-1 in Southern Conference play. The Buccaneers, who finished their sixth season as a varsity sport, accomplished many goals and broke several school records as a team and individually in 2002. ETSU finished eighth in regular season play earning a spot in the SoCon tournament. This achievement was a first for the young Buccaneer program since the conference began taking only eight teams in 1999. Six of the Buccaneers 11 losses were by one goal, four of those being conference opponents who were all top five seeds in the SoCon tournament. This season the Buccaneers' roster consisted of seven freshmen, six sophomores, two juniors and two seniors. The newcomers scored 16 of the Buccaneers' 29 goals this season and handed out 13 of the 20 total assists. With so many talented freshmen the future looks very bright for the Buccaneers in 2003. Broken Records In 2002 ETSU tore through the record books, breaking team records for best overall record, best conference record, and lowest number of goals scored against (30). Individually ETSU freshman forward Erin Ashton (New Bern, N.C.) broke a few records of her own for goals scored in a season with 11 and points in a season with 27. Keeper Heather Sanden (Manassas, Va.) was named to the All SoCon second team making her only the second Buccaneer to receive an All-SoCon award. She broke school regular season records for goals against average (1.67) and tied the record for shutouts in a season with 3. 2002 Compared to 2001 This season the Buccaneers scored 30 goals compared to 23 in 2001. The number of goals scored against went from 56 in 2001 to 29 in 2002. The number of games that the Buccaneers scored in increased by 25%. 2002 Senior Class The close of the 2002 season marked the end of two Buccaneer careers - senior's Lena Summers (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Elizabeth Smith (Arden, N.C.). Lena Summers entered East Tennessee State University as a freshman in 1998. In her five years as a Buccaneer she has left her mark. She has played in 52 games and more than 5,100 minutes. In 2001 she suffered an ACL injury that caused her to miss the season, but came back in 2002 to help lead the Buccaneers past many milestones and left her mark on the Buccaneer record book. She ranks third in career goals with 11 and fourth in career points with 26. She is tied for fourth for goals in a season with four, and tied for seventh for points in a season with 10, which she set in 1999. This season she scored three goals on 10 shots as a defender for the Buccaneers. Liz Smith began her college career in 1999; in that time she has placed her name in the record books. She started every game of her career (71) and played more than 5,800 minutes. She is fourth in career goals with 10, third in points with 34 and owns the record for career assists with 14. She is tied for fourth for goals in a season, which she accomplished in 1999, is number one for assists in a season with 7, and tied for seventh in points in a season with 10. This season Liz has scored three goals, one being a game-winning goal; she finished 2002 second on the team in assists with four and second in points with 10. Q & A with ETSU Head Coach Heather Henson Q: What was your overall impression of this season? A: Overall, looking back I am excited by how the team performed this year. Our returnees came in knowing our philosophy and style of play and our freshman class learned our tactics and options quicker than any other group we've had. With that being said it made our training sessions and games more enjoyable and put us on a track to accomplish our goals. As far as results and the pure wins and losses we were disappointed. We know how close we are, but we had games that we should have won and didn't and that is something that we must address in the off-season to prepare for next fall. Q: ETSU had much better success this year scoring goals. Talk about the offensive improvements this year compared to last? A: We scored 30 goals this year; the most ever scored in our program is 33. We finished the season second in goals, points and assists so we were showed that we could produce this year. From scoring 23 goals in 2001 to scoring 30 this season we obviously made improvements. Erin Ashton, Liz Smith, Lauren Kulish and Lena Summers all did a great job putting the ball in the back of the net. Q: Talk about the improvements defensively this season? A: We allowed 56 goals in 2001 compared to 29 this season and I am very proud of that improvement. This season we returned two red shirt defenders in senior Lena Summers and sophomore Erin Lotzer and made a team commitment to play solid team defense. Megan Morris and Kerri Burke both gave us quality minutes as freshmen throughout the season. Our keeper Heather Sanden did an exceptional job of organizing our defensive unit and was a great shot blocker for us this year. We stuck together defensively and knew that wins would come from playing a composed attacking defense. Q: What are your thoughts on making the tournament for the first time in school history since the SoCon began taking only the top eight teams? A: I am very proud of our team for earning a spot in the top eight. I'm happy for our seniors who have been through the hard and sometimes turbulent times that come with beginning programs to be rewarded by ending their careers playing in the SoCon tournament. With our returnees they now know what they have to do to ensure a spot in the tournament next fall. They have a taste of what it's like to make the tournament and know they have to continue work hard to earn a spot again in 2003. Q: What are your plans for the team heading into the off-season? A: We have to maintain our fitness level and utilize individual workouts to strengthen each individual players games. We will continue the focus in the weight room to build on speed, explosion and overall strength on the field. The tactical focus will come form creating more scoring opportunities and experimenting with tactical situations with our spring playing dates. This spring we will need to work on the psychological side and getting mentally tougher so that they will continue their focus during the last half of the season because this year over half of the team were freshman and it can be tough.

Rob Bell--Love Wins

Posted 14 June 2011 - 03:45 PM
idea of eternal separation from God hasn't quite worked to me either, as Revelation clearly says that the lake of fire is burning before the Lamb. Who is
of course Christ, who is eternal love.
In light of your post.... the funny thing is........ that just last night I was reading the linked to forum (below) where a protestant had written asking about the Orthodox view of universal salvation.
link to forum
Here is one of the more interesting responses.
Concerning the eschaton we have few dogmatic principles. The most important are contained in Scripture and the Nicene Creed. The possibility that all may be saved is accepted if not without (sometimes) fierce criticism.
Some prominent Orthodox Church Fathers and teachers like St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Isaac the Syrian, St. John of Sinai, Sergij Bulgakov, Bishop Kallistos Ware, Bishop Hilarion Alfejev, St. Siluan the Athonite and not a
few others seem to either (have) embrace(d) universalism or at least (have) cherish(ed) a strong hope of universal salvation, whereas others strongly deny it.
That would be the status of this theological opinion in the Orthodox Church.

Campolo's RLC newsletter has an article that brings C.S. Lewis into the discussion.
Ever since I read this post I've been pondering about C.S. Lewis in regards to the subject, and I think another thing to add to the mix is that C.S. Lewis expressed a great deal
of respect for George MacDonald and some of his spiritual teaching. George MacDonald is known to have believed in the ultimate reconciliation of all (or at the very
least had a hope that God could eventually be able to reach all people.)
I can't see how C.S. Lewis wouldn't have known this, yet he didn't dismiss George MacDonald like many seem to be doing to Rob Bell, and He obviously didn't consider
him to be a heretic or a false prophet.
On another note, a lot of Evangelicals do have a great love for C.S. Lewis, yet I wonder what he would have thought of Evangelicalism. He was afterall an Anglican, which
to me indicates tht he probably had some significant theological differences from evangelicals, not least of which is the belief in a real presence during the Eucharist,
and Apostolic Succession. My understanding is that he didn't really touch on some of these more divisive aspects of Christian thought in his writings, which is probably
one of the reasons why so many branches of Christianity accept him.

I don't know why this video is called "Love Wins" -- maybe it's just a coincidence and it has nothing to do with the Rob Bell controversy at all -- but anyhoo, just in case:
Peter...... awhile back you had mentioned that one of the early important Orthodox theologians had universalist leanings. When I read this I immediately thought
that you were thinking of Maximus the Confessor.
If so..... you might be interested in this bit from some of his writings. I recently finished reading a book of his writings called "On the Cosmic Christ".
The following question and answer is taken from this book (page 115).
Question.... If in the coming ages God will show his riches (Eph. 2:7), how is it that the end of the ages has already come upon us (1Cor 10:11.)
Maximus's answer..... Also according to this plan, it is clear that God wisely divided the ages between those intended for God to become human, and those intended for humanity to become divine...........
..........Since , therefore, the ages predetermined in God's purpose for the realization of his becoming human have reached their end for us, and God has undertaken and in fact achieved his own perfect incarnation,
the other "ages" - those which are to come about for the realization of the mystical and ineffable deification of humanity - must follow henceforth.
I'm not sure if one can read from this particlar writing that he was saying that all of humanity would eventually be deified, or if he was referring to just Christians. Yet it would surely indicate that Maximus (being ancient Greek)
understood the Biblical use of the Koine Greek word aion/os, to refer to "age" or "ages", and not eternity (at least in the pertinent texts). He clearly thought that there were ages to come.

Beverly Tyner
"Without the consideration of the needs of each child, even the most carefully crafted literacy instruction will be ineffective. Without an expert teacher to make critical day-to-day decisions based on the learners in the classroom, the effectiveness of the plan will be all but lost. These two pieces must be tempered with other important literacy pieces that are embedded in district and state mandates, best practices, research, and what is motivating and meaningful to every student."
—from the Preface
Countless classrooms have been transformed by Beverly Tyner's bestselling Small-Group Reading Instruction books. Now Beverly draws on her years of classroom and consulting experience to "put the pieces together" and help you deliver top-quality literacy instruction in your elementary classroom.
The Literacy Jigsaw Puzzle shows you how to identify, assemble, and deliver a comprehensive literacy plan that includes whole-group instruction, small-group differentiated instruction, and independent practice based on the standards, curriculum, and assessments already in place in your school or district. Beverly guides you through today's education challenges, including increasingly diverse classrooms, Response to Intervention, and Common Core State Standards. You'll discover how integrated literacy instruction can help you meet the needs of all learners—struggling, typical, and gifted learners as well as unmotivated students, English learners, and students with special needs—and maximize limited classroom time.
At the core of this book lies Beverly's indefatigable belief that when teachers understand all the crucial elements of effective literacy instruction and really know their students, all learners can achieve success. The tools she provides—including research-based strategies and best practices, model thematic units for primary- and intermediate-grade classrooms, suggestions for independent projects and presentations, reproducible planning templates, and vignettes that show real-life teaching scenarios—will prove invaluable as you put together the literacy jigsaw puzzle in your class.
Exam copies are available and can be requested by faculty considering IRA texts for course adoption.

John has some major street cred: He started regularly selling his artwork at the ripe old age of 11 and was experimenting with art and design on a computer in the '80s. After a seriously illustrious career in design, doing work for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Target and many more, he had a personal revelation: he could create whatever kind of art his heart desired—and his artistic muses called for—and sell it online. He could be his own boss. The result is a line of adorable kids designs and local-lovin' pieces on wood boxes, all of which reflect his love for urban textures, typography and "analog" art techniques.

Comments about Kicker iKick iPhone and iPod Dock:
This iKick really packs some punch from such a small package. I got it for my 14 year old sister for Xmas 2012 with the specific request from her to have something with good bass. She loves it and the sound re-production is great for the price. It will not replace a decent sound system or components, but for an iPod dock, this thing really puts out some noise.

trés satisfait nous retournerons dans votre hotel andré ajaccio
06 - 10 - 2013
I could not possibly make any suggestions. Your hotel is just beautiful perfect in every way. The attention to detail and service was just amazing. I hope we have the opportunity to stay with you again.i
04 - 10 - 2013
What a wonderful personal and friendly experience.
26 - 09 - 2013
Superb location and very helpful staff. we enjoyed our stay and wished we had been able to book for longer on our trip.
23 - 09 - 2013
Great hotel with a great breakfast! Super welcome, very nice staff.
16 - 09 - 2013
The location and choice of parking facilities were excellent. Staff were very helpful and charming, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was the best we have had anywhere for a long time. Thank you so much for providing a birthday cake for my wife on her 70th birthday, it was a kind gesture. Also for arranging the prosecco as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you.
13 - 09 - 2013
Considering everything, this is one of the best hotels in which we've ever stayed.
31 - 08 - 2013
Lovely location..... Great room, comfortable bed & pillows with a yummy breakfast! We had a lovely afternoon/evening with you on our drive down to Tuscany - Thank you. I have already recommended the hotel to some friends!
28 - 08 - 2013
Best breakfast I've had in Italy, although sadly the lady who worked in the breakfast room was the opposite - not friendly and didn't once ask if I'd like a hot drink. Maybe invest in a kettle for each room and Sky TV (I don't go away to watch TV, but as a solo traveller it's nice to have background noise in the room and be able to watch the news) - for the price paid, the room facilities were very minimal. However, it was very modern and clean and I like the use of treadmill, which is rare.
17 - 08 - 2013
This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. We had a superior double room. We loved Ferrara and intend to return and will definitely stay with you again.
13 - 08 - 2013
I Will Côme back!
10 - 08 - 2013
Hotel vraiment charmant et parfait sur tous les plans, une adresse en or!

Outstanding hotel with one of the best breakfasts of any European hotel where we have stayed. Truly an exceptional hotel!!
08 - 08 - 2013
We felt very welcome and pampered. Claudio and Eduardo were especially helpful and cordial.
02 - 08 - 2013
An excellent modern hotel right in Ferrara's historic centre. Perfect for a one or two night stay. Parking nearby was easy and good recommendations were given for local restaurants. Free use of bikes - a great way to see this attractive small city. A very nice experience all round.
02 - 08 - 2013
Fue uno de los aciertos del viaje, volveremos a él y es fantástico todo. Un lugar y decoración, educación, desayuno, todo. Muchas garcias

The music just outside the hotel could be a problem, and we hope that the scaffolding next door has come down when we visit again
13 - 07 - 2013
Breakfast outstanding for the price that we paid. Would you come again? Yes !!!!
12 - 07 - 2013
Thank you for a wonderful stay at Hotel Annunziata! We loved the hotel; the staff and the room were great and we are very happy we chose to stay here.
05 - 07 - 2013
Great location, lovely breakfast and neat room. Lots of nice touches that make this place special.
03 - 07 - 2013
Beautiful hotel diekt in the historic center of Ferrara. Public parking (3 euros per day) in the vicinity. small but comfortable rooms. Everything was very clean. Comfortable beds with duvets related (as in Germany). Beautiful furniture. Practical, stylish bathroom. breakfast with very rich selection of fresh fruit cooked ham cold cuts bite, Italian salami for themselves. Butter and cheese selection. The staff is always courteous, friendly, helpful. It feels right as "customer is king". Our best hotel on the Italy tour.
02 - 07 - 2013
excellent hotel, best breakfast I have ever had anywhere I have stayed including Europe ,uk and USA .Wouldlove to come back
28 - 06 - 2013
por enfermedad perdi el importe del precio y solicite precio para otra estancia
23 - 06 - 2013
We were disappointed to be told by the evening concierge that we could not drink the red wine we had purchased in our hotel room (athough we had a table and chairs in the living room). We were asked to bring it downstairs and felt treated rather like teenagers. This would make it hard for us to return or recommend the hotel to others. Otherwise a very good stay.
23 - 06 - 2013
My parents and simply loved your hotel. Everything was smooth and pleasant. The receptionists were extremely welcoming and helpful.
14 - 06 - 2013
Very pleasant stay. Amazing breakfast.
12 - 06 - 2013
Absolutely faultless. Would recommend this hotel to anyone. A pleasure to stay in.
12 - 06 - 2013
It has been three years since I have had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Annunziata, and this time was even more enjoyable than my past visits. The staff were, as always, warm and welcoming, and happy to be of any assistance possible. In the past, I have always stayed in the main hotel, but on this occasion we stayed at the annex - The Prisciani. A short walk from the hotel, the rooms are large, beautifully decorated, and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is back at the hotel, and as in the past, is excellent. Not to be overlooked, the hotel has undergone a wonderful renovation, making the hotel look even more modern and tasteful than I remember from past visits. After two weeks traveling through Europe, Hotel Annunziata was easily one of the highlights of my trip, and one that I would recommend to anyone without hesitation. I definately look forward to my next opportunity to stay here.
06 - 06 - 2013
As always, an excellent stay. One improvement could be the quality of the bikes available to use as they all needed a little work.
06 - 06 - 2013
Bike brakes were not so good and the back light was missing. Otherwise a very pleasant location and excellent breakfast options.
15 - 05 - 2013
My only concern - and we have stayed in your lovely hotel on a number of occasions - is the lack of draw space. You have most peculiar cupboards with a shelf completely out of reach high up and no / minimal storage space for shirts / socks etc - particularly with 2 people
14 - 05 - 2013
Overall it was excellent. To enhance things even more I would suggest the following: A. Be a little clearer on the fact you can drive the car next to the hotel to drop off bags B. A kettle in the room would have been nice however, all in all you have a great place and run it very well.
13 - 05 - 2013
we will be back soon...
11 - 05 - 2013
There is a metalic skeleton in the window of some rooms, in that case, noise starts every working day at 7.00AM. Be careful avoiding this rooms.
04 - 05 - 2013
veramente ottimo in tutto, le colazioni strepitose!!
03 - 05 - 2013
qui sei veramente a Ferrara
30 - 04 - 2013
Fantastic hotel and friendly staff
25 - 04 - 2013
An excellent city centre hotel with a breakfast to die for!
11 - 04 - 2013
il servizio parcheggio a pagamento non è dei migliori in quanto mi è stato ricghiesto di portare la macchina e andarmela a prendere dovendo riportare i telecomando. per mia esperienza al prezzo richiesto di 20 normalmente altre strutture offrono il servizio vallet.
05 - 04 - 2013
Siete davvero bravi e ospitali! Grazie!
10 - 03 - 2013
Everything about your hotel was perfect ... from the stellar location to the friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was very high quality with so many delicious things from which to choose.
28 - 02 - 2013
SIETE STATI VERAMENTE SPECIALI!!! grazie di cuore
20 - 02 - 2013
After Palazzo di Schifanoia is reconstructed, we will visit Ferrarra and stay in the hotel Annunziata again.
13 - 02 - 2013
peccato che il soggiorno sia stato rovinato da 2 cuscini duri come pietre e un piumone sul letto che sarebbe andato bene al campo base dell'everest ,ma la stanza era anche troppo riscaldata Grazie
27 - 01 - 2013
è stato un piacevole soggiorno che spero possa ripetere al più presto.
17 - 01 - 2013
Qualita' del personale: Eccellente. La colazione e' stata superlativa.
09 - 01 - 2013
va bene.da ripetere
03 - 01 - 2013
vi ringraziamo per l'ospitalità e a parte la il promblema con i canali TV ci permettiamo solo due suggerimenti : -disponibilità bici per bambini e ragazzi (6-12 anni) -letti troppo corti un cordiale saluto gianluca barresi
03 - 01 - 2013
just temperature a bit too hot in the room
19 - 12 - 2012
Excellent location. Excellent selection for breakfast to start the day.
18 - 12 - 2012
Excellent service, delicious breakfast and supreme location. Oppotunity for improvement: rooms on the first floor are very noisy due to the poor sound insulation of the floor on the second floor...so you can hear every step or furnutire movement !
17 - 12 - 2012
siamo una famiglia che viaggia tantissimo, e questo è uno dei alberghi più belli che abbiamo trovato. 5 stelle in tutto!
03 - 12 - 2012
Purtroppo manca un ristorantino
15 - 11 - 2012
Ho soggiornato al Prisciani Art Suite
15 - 11 - 2012
Ottimo tutto. Avrei solo evitato di far pagare due tisane prese nella sala pc Per il vs hotel dovrebbero essere una commodity.
20 - 06 - 2011
Excellent stay. Facilities were good and staff were very helpful.
25 - 05 - 2011
The room was good, but did not have sufficient storage space for a 7 day stay.
15 - 09 - 2010
very good hotel!
04 - 04 - 2010
Lovely comfortable beds and fantastic breakfast! Were disappointed with the characterless decor in our small room- could instead be very Italian and individual instead of grey and white motel-style furnishings. For ecological reasons would welcome the option of not having linen/towels changed daily if not necessary.
25 - 03 - 2010
L'unica nota negativa a mio parere è che le camere non sono all'altezza di un quattro stelle. Sono piuttosto piccole e arredate in modo poco "elegante". La camera doppia ha due materassi uniti e non un matrimoniale, il bagno è piccolo e senza mesole su cui appoggiare i propri oggetti personali.
11 - 10 - 2009
Excellent place to stay in Ferrara
05 - 10 - 2009
The hotel is charming and the staff is excellent. We certainly tested their service right off the bat, by arriving with an urgent problem for which we needed help. We'd left our passports behind in our hotel room safe in Venice, and the kind and efficient desk gentleman and signorina immediately went about helping us through this urgent problem. We were permitted to check in using our photocopies of our passports, and the gent immediately called our Venice hotel to ensure our documents were there and secure and supplied a train schedule for our return trip to Venice. Our room was also ready early, which enabled us to get settled prior to returning to Venice. We can't thank them enough for all they did to help us solve this urgent problem and soothe our nerves! Furthermore, throughout our stay, all hotel staff were warm and helpful, making restauranta suggestions and reservations, etc. The hotel offers comfort/style, value, and a delicious, elaborate breakfast spread. Highly recommended!
05 - 06 - 2009
vera good breakfast
27 - 03 - 2009
This is a great hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed the location, the room, the bed, the staff, the fantastic breakfast, the free-use bicycles to get around the city...it was absolutely everything we hoped!

I stare numbly at my news app on my phone that announces "One wounded by apparent gunshots," which has happened at 4 a.m., mere hours ago, on Bowser Avenue here in Fort Wayne, which is of course in the city's southeast quadrant.
I say "of course" because this comes on the heels of the two killings that occurred mere days ago in that same part of the city. This is nothing new. This, sadly and most of all shockingly, has been going on for most of my life.
And I write this as someone who lives mere blocks from the killing zone. I live mere blocks because I am not afraid, and I am not afraid because I know the causes and conditions of why this particular area is a killing zone. I know it, the people living there know it and most shamefully, the supposed "leaders" of the people doing the killing and being killed know it.
But nobody wants to tell it. The headline in this morning's newspaper relays the usual distraction: "Victim's mom blames thug culture." What exactly is this phantom, this fog, this "thug culture" that actually has the power to kill? From where did it come? Why does it exist?
I'll tell you why. This culture comes from the last 50 years of a failed social experiment where we as a society decided that it's OK for children to not be raised in two-parent families, and specifically it's OK for boys to be raised without fathers.
You can laugh, you can scoff all you want at the Ward Cleaver or Dr. Huxtable image of a father, but the fact is that for human beings it's pretty much the only model that works. And yes, I hear the instant, knee-jerk screams of "a child can be raised by a loving mother just fine, blah, blah, blah." Well, you can shriek that cry all you want but Exhibit A is eight blocks exactly to the east of where I am sitting and composing this right this second, and it's the sound of senseless gunfire and the sound of screaming mothers holding their dead sons.

Nutrition and Cancer - General Nutrition Guidelines
General nutrition guidelines during cancer treatment
Careful food choices will help support your immune system's fight against cancer. The foods you choose to eat during active cancer treatment will vary according to any side effects you may be experiencing. Overall, try to make food choices that provide you enough calories (to maintain your weight), protein (to help rebuild tissues that cancer treatment may harm), nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, and fluids (essential for your body's functioning).
The following suggestions from the National Cancer Institute may be helpful if you have difficulty eating or a loss of appetite even when you are feeling well with cancer:
Eat small, frequent meals (every one to two hours).
Eat high-protein and high-calorie foods (including snacks).
Keep snacks such as peanut butter crackers, nuts, granola bars, or dried fruit on hand.
Avoid foods low in calories and protein, and avoid empty calories (such as soda).
To avoid nausea and improve your appetite, do not drink liquids with your meals.
Try to eat when you are feeling the best, no matter what time of day.
Use meal substitutes, such as high-calorie, high-protein drinks, when you do not feel like eating.
Try to increase your appetite through light exercise or appetite stimulants.
Add extra calories and protein to food using foods such as butter, skim milk powder, honey, or brown sugar.
Take your medications with high-calorie fluids.
Eat foods at room temperature.
Avoid spicy foods or foods with strong odors.

Our strategy
Improve the quality of life of ordinary citizens by working with communities and local leaders to create and strengthen sustainable, legitimate livelihoods. Promote gender integration and equal opportunities for women and girls.
The context
Decades of ongoing conflict, political instability, drought and economic chaos have left Afghanistan one of the world's poorest and unstable nations. Eighty-five percent of the population relies on agriculture and natural resource-based livelihoods, leaving them vulnerable in a precarious economy.
Our work
- Agriculture & Food: Increasing farmers' production through training, infrastructure and links to local and global markets
- Economic opportunity: Providing training and work opportunities in areas ranging from road-building to poultry farming
- Environment: Identify and address natural resource depletion by educating farmers and government officials about sustainable water development
- Women & Gender: Helping women learn job skills and start small businesses
