Well I think there's no value at 12 at LT since the top 3 won't make it there, Rhodes and Trufant don't fit our scheme all that well but at DE there's plenty of options that might make it all the way down to 12... I don't think Ansah will but Jordan and Werner have a pretty good chance to, I'd be happy with either, not sure about any other pass rushers at 12. Mingo lacks production, Jones and Moore lack measurables.
So say...
#12 Jordan/Werner DE.
Oddrick is more of a DT than a DE, let alone a RE. He switched from a 3-4 LE, to a 4-3 RE. Simply not a good fit. Having him fresh to rotate with Starks and Soliai would be huge. DE simply holds the most value out of our 3 most glaring positions of need.
#42 Amerson CB.
He reminds me so much of a slightly slower and less explosive Grimes. Excels in zone, baits QBs into bad throws, jumps balls, extremely aggressive both in coverage and in run support. If anything he might take bad angles because of trying to make the stop ASAP. If somehow Marshall and/or Patterson beat him to the starting job he would still be a great improvement over Clemmons at FS.
#54 Armstead OT.
Super athletic LT, very raw but I think he could start just based on athletic ability and grow from there.
3a Brian Winters OG
I know we have Jerry and brought Lance Louis at RG but I don't like Incognito's cap number al LG.
3b DJ Haden CB
I only think he will last this long cause he is coming back from a freak injury, and hopefully he'd beat out one of Patterson or Marshall cause I don't like their cap numbers either. Tempted by Mathieu if Haden's gone but Philbin wouldn't do it.
We can go RB and Blocking TE later, no real need to invest that much on those positions after spending early picks the last 2 seasons and big FA money on TE.
What you guys think?

Nick Heidfeld from the Lotus Renault Formula One team was kind enough to answer some of our "hard hitting" questions, for our latest driver Question and Answer post.
Favourite part of Albert Park?
The first chicane is always difficult and unpredictable because it's so bumpy under braking.
Favourite restaurant in Melbourne?
Every year I go to a Japanese restaurant called Koko in the Crown complex. The teriyaki chicken is very good.
Who do you think will be your biggest rival this season?
Red Bull
What is your favourite memory of the Australian Grand Prix?
I scored my first points there in 2001 with Sauber when I finished fourth. Also my second place in 2008 is a good memory.
What do you like about Aussie F1 fans?
It's my favourite place to travel to on the calendar, largely because of the people. I really like the lifestyle and there is always a great atmosphere in the country when the race is on.
What is your favourite thing to do in Melbourne away from the track?
I like to walk around the city. I always go to Chapel Street to look around and do some shopping.
How do you feel about Australia being the first race of the season?It feels quite traditional because for most of my career the first race has usually been in Melbourne.

An institution devoted to reviewing and highlighting legislation that has exceeded a certain time frame.
Legislation is important under certain contexts. It's crucial, then, to keep legislation current. I think it a spectacular idea to commit a non-profit group to holding outdated legislation to current standards.
To quote the U.S. General Accounting Office report to Congress in 1990, through P.J. O'Rourke's "Parliament of Whores,"
"The government established a wool and mohair price-support program in 1954... to encourage domestic wool production in the interest of national security."
How is my proposal any better than the Government Accountability Office? Well, I'm not entirely sure and I suppose this is why I'm proposing it. I feel, though, the the GAO is entirely too big and that a program like this should have a lot more visibility - voters can access an archive of legislation, what it was written to combat, and what the general effects of it are now.

I have heard it said that if you started taking away subsidies from the biggest to the smallest the budget would be balanced by the time you got to the 500,000 dollar level.
I think what we need is a educating of the populace in economics to where the trend became a Mccarthy era culture in DC to where congressman would start shaking at the notion of corruption. In other words we need to hang a few congressman so the other ones would get the idea that the beltway culture is no more. And "The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending."
Oct 28 2012: Pat, I went to Republician proposed budget cuts and selected House GOP lists 2.5 Trillion in spending cuts. I recall seeing this before but it always opens my eyes. What the heck are some of these allocations.
If the federal government just allowed attrition to occur in the federal job corps we would save a bundle. Obamacare (FREE) medical is 80 Billion a year and the Obamacare administrative costs are already 900 Million a year.
Obama commited 25 agencies to Rural Sustainability under a Executive Order June 9, 2011. This is essentially a attack on private land owers. It has been described as Obamas Holodomor. The Holodomor was an event in the Ukraine 1932 - 33 that took private farms away in favor of collective farming by the Russian Government which killed 7 million farmers and families. I also associate this to the Article 21 movement in the UN which is the mother of Cap and Trade and other enviromental socialist program nightmares.
Sorry about the rant but the sleeping American public will wake up way to late to stop the march.
pat gilbert
Oct 28 2012: It is the alphabet soup of government agencies that could easily be done without, in fact getting rid of them would be a 2 for 1 deal. Their expense and inane regulations. The constitution intended for much of what these agencies do to be done at the state level at which point some of the regulations would start making sense. Except don't use Calif as an example other than what not to do or what happens to states when they go bad.
- +1
Oct 28 2012: Good point about the constitutional intention. I do feel as though we've really drifted into a unitary state which can be excessively wasteful.Oct 29 2012: Yea but..
When you consider that according to what Robert Winner says we have dozens of states that are bankrupt. Part of the reason is as David Hamilton indicates is that in the State of California for every dollar that Calif sends to the Federal government something like 38 cents comes back.
Even then the Federal government has managed to put us 16 trillion dollars in debt., 5 trillion of that in the last 4 years.
That does not include the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare that are at least 100 trillion dollars.
So yes we are very much into centralized government with gargantuan waste.
What does that mean to you personally? Glad you asked. It means that you, your children , and your children's children are going to have to pay that debt through increased taxes or through inflation and because of the increased burden there will be much less opportunity. If the future politicians cannot do this or will not do this the United States WILL collapse. It will be sudden and it will be dystopian. This does not have to happen but I have seen no reason to think it will not happen.
Wade Crum
Oct 28 2012: Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that is does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.

—Ayn Rand
Do we really need to complicate the web of intrusive government? Man's responsibilites to his self should never be underwritten by a self serving government. If legislation is only good for certain purpose of a certain moment then it has no business being written into law. If a structure is failing let it fail. You will find that the system was fine but the drivers were corrupt. For man to grow, he must learn from his failures and not be propped up by the virtues of his fellow man.
Oct 28 2012: I am really confused about the relation between your quote and my proposal. I understand that people are corrupt and things have gone bad but I choose rather to take action than to let the system fail so that a better one can take its place. We can be a touch more proactive than that. I am committed to finding the tiny slivers of things working the right way and promoting it. My promotion, while a small endorsement, can grow to affect those around me who can, in their own turn, promote what they think is outstanding.
Do you think my proposal would "complicate the web of intrusive government?" I thought it a good idea to take the steps to expose corroded, rusty, decayed initiatives, subsidies, and grants that have gone unnoticed for decades. I agree that legislation voted in for a certain purpose is not helpful. If, in your last statement, you are comparing the government to a single man, then I will have to heartily disagree. For one man to grow, yes he must learn - as a child learns not to touch a boiling pot. But to simplify a system of millions of people to one person is ludicrous; the pain brought on from touching a boiling pot cannot smart the hand of every one of them. It is clear, then, that our government will continue to wearily trudge on, adapting and forever slightly corrupt and wasteful. I don't see any sense in waiting for the revolution to create a new system. My trying to generate a team to fight the excess of government is the very picture of growth. I've seen a problem here and now, so I am trying to implement a solution. Simple as that.
Oct 28 2012: Yes we need expose the corruption. But expanding the Government to do so is kind of like having an alcoholic manage the liquor cabinet.
Oct 28 2012: I wholeheartedly agree but I am not planning to expand the government. My proposed team would not be funded or managed by any governmental branch. All ties severed.Oct 27 2012: Great idea. It is important to make sure that the non-profit group maintains its independence so that it does not become an attack dog of big business and religious groups and political parties. This is hard to do but not impossible.
Oct 27 2012: You are quite right on that. And I know that a cause with money goes a lot farther than a cause without money so non-profit may be a vulnerability. There should be something in the mission statement that underlines the fact that it is a separate entity, committed only to a simple act. The many initiatives that I mean to "recycle" are wasteful because they were written to encompass many acts. The aforementioned mission statement would be the antithesis to that practice, I suppose.Oct 27 2012: And perhaps I'm seeing this group do the legwork to expose bills that have passed out of a window of time to voters who are then able to demand change. They wouldn't be responsible for actually cutting legislation out, simply exposing decayed work to the infamous cockroach treatment of the media.Oct 28 2012: There are groups that track all of these. I went to dumb and outdated laws laws and viewed by state and federal. I went to recommended budget cuts and found a trove of recommend cuts that made a lot of sense.
Here is a whole new area for you to have grave concerns about if you really want to make multi trillion dollar differences: Subsidies, stimuluses, and Executive Orders.
I have never heard of an Executive Order being resinded .... and the other two are just plain political money pits.
The sad thing is that you cannot even blame Congress for these debits as these bypass Congress and Congressional oversight. One of the other areas you should evaluate is Government Grants.
If you want to start analyzing the government waste I suggest you buy a lot of asperine ... this will hurt your head.
Good luck. Bob.
Oct 28 2012: Thanks for the input. I was pretty appalled at some of the subsidies that go unnoticed, like the mohair price support, but it's good to have a couple other handles on what to tackle. What do you mean you went to dumb outdated laws and recommended budget cuts? Do you mean you googled these as search terms?
Oct 28 2012: Yes google them.
Oct 28 2012: That is interesting. I will work to get such sites more visible. But these don't exactly satisfy my itch. I was looking to highlight legislation that, more specifically, allocated money. I realize I didn't make that explicit in my question.Oct 27 2012: By the way, I didn't follow up on my quoting O'Rourke. That 1954 program continued on to the 1990s. It has currently changed status, making alpaca a farm animal, and thus open to government grants. It may not seem like a great amount of money, but, in fact, the mohair subsidy allocated "an estimated $923 million over the 1994-98 period," according to the Department of Agriculture. Seemingly just a drop in the bucket of our debt. I wanted to point out, in using this evidence, that there are many initiatives drifting about, granting money throughout the decades because they are forgotten by the public.Oct 27 2012: I wonder what legislation written with a review/expiration date would do to overhead costs. Short term, it would increase senatorial and house committees, expanding that cost. But long term I think it would decrease cost because wasteful projects would get cut.
Lejan .
Oct 27 2012: Not to have expiration dates on legislations is something, only a static and not changing society was able to afford. The fact that we don't have them is no coincidence!

Gail .
Oct 27 2012: Excellent idea, but since lobbyists like Abrahamoff came along, it's very difficult. Those crooked lobbyists who buy your representatives get their legislation passed by offering legislation that says, replace SS 05321 and replace it with "whatever the lobbyists wants that the representative will not know what is being done".
- 0
I have traced legislation backwards. It's hard. It's done this way on purpose.
Oct 27 2012: I'm always a little wary of the sentiment that government does things on purpose. Government is not so much a machine run by precision gears and masterminds as it is a wobbly table with a short leg -propped up on a matchbook and legos - which holds a banquet of mismatched tableware holding food in various states of decay. I cannot affect any positive change if I unfairly judge that every lobbyist, legislator, and initiative is crooked.
Oct 28 2012: Then judge them fairly by their actions or lack there of. If their intentions are noble, this thread would not exist.
Oct 28 2012: My point is that there is no "their." Our government is not any one person. There is no "man." There is no "They." To do any good, we must first expel that idea that we are dealing with a uniform entity, working to propel itself in one direction with one set of values and desires.
Gail .
Oct 28 2012: Read Abrahamoff's book. He gives step-by-step instructions for how to corrupt a congressman and how to get the legislation you want passed by using deceptive methods. He also explains how widespread the corruption is: Insider trading (buying or selling stock before proposed legislation that is expected to pass is made public), embezzlement (inserting ear-marks into legislation knowing that the earmark is designed to benefit you personally and knowing that no one will read your earmark), bribery (self-explanatory and massively prevalent), for example. Many examples are given. It's how your government works.
- 0
When the book came out, congress (both sides) said that congress is immune from such laws. Don't you remember the flack?
Oct 28 2012: What are you trying to do by telling me this? Are you trying to dissuade me?! I am appalled at the responses I am getting here. This sentiment sickens me and it is everywhere. It is the flavor of cynicism that beats me down. You would have me believe that there is no reason to try; it's all going to shit anyway. I know there is corruption. I am also aware that corruption is just a way to identify a deviation from a standard. We could devote an entire doctorate program to studying the psychology and impact corruption has. I cannot let myself give up because the system is seemingly one giant tumor. A lot of people here today are making a mistake in assuming I want to berate each act of corruption I see or somehow propose incentives to get legislators to forgo corrupt practices. I am not so naive.
I see clearly that the number one reason why our government continues to fail us is due to the pervasive thinking that there is no use. I call it the Eeyore Syndrome. By putting me down all I can really take from these responses is that somehow you actually want the corruption to persist. Now that can't be... But it does certainly seem to fit the tone. You should be ashamed of yourself. I would be excited to put my weight behind any person willing to take on the problem. We won't succeed unless our attitude is fervently positive. I'm looking for criticisms directly regarding my proposal - a team working to simply make outdated actions visible to the public. I am looking for feedback that can help me make specific changes to the exact functioning of such a group. How can I get high visibility? How do I broadcast our findings? Who can you direct me to to model my work after? What were some of the pitfalls of such a model?Oct 28 2012: It's a two party system giving us a faux representation of intricate opposing ideologies. It's most definately is two entities with a speckle of independents. It's a well orchestrated ebb and flow between Dems and Pubs. These are well defined and well organized political machines. As we become more aware of the corruption and backroom deals the machines will attempt to circumvent our ability to communcate and mount any type of organized attempt to put reigns on their actions. The moment we start pretending these entities don't exist is the moment we become a herd of cattle drinking from straws through our muzzles.
Oct 28 2012: I haven't "pretend[ed] such entities don't exist." I have a few other objections to your response, namely the dichotomy of democrats and republicans and their "well orchestrated ebb and flow." But I am realizing quickly how futile it is to contest your attitude. I will simply thank you for taking the time to give me some input. It's good to know how some people may receive my project once functional.Oct 28 2012: You propose a watchdog institution. A wonderful idea. My attitute is pro active while yours is reactive. The real question is why we need a watchdog institution in the first place. We have put so many bandaids on the symptoms while never addressing root causes.
Of couse it's probably more likely one would get funding by addressing reactive measures. It's much less likely to get funded if it targets fundamental core issues. This could adversly affect the power of special interests who are enjoying windfalls of unbalanced legislation.
Allow me to offer up a link. I beleive we have such institutions that you speak of:
Gail .
Oct 28 2012: Bristol, perhaps those who see your optimism have already spent 40 years or so trying to fix that which is so broken. Many of us have been activists and have watched our voice be silenced by money.
- +1
I applaud your willingness to go forth and fight the mighty fight, but as for me, I am working on a way to make changes by coming through the back door rather than the front. I want to cure the illness rather than continue down the road of treating the symptoms. I haven't given up. I've just changed course.
So I certainly do not belittle you. I admire you.

after kiffin came out and said he would beat us - and called out urban - and then got caught for recruiting violations the very next day - i cannot wait for them to come get clobbered in the swamp this year. i'll be in gainesville to enjoy that one with whiskey in hand.
Ah ya had to know a few Candycane fans would come over here to whine. But as pathetic as they are, they do have a point. I hate our OOC scheduling. I'd like to see a quality OOC opponent to go with FSU on our schedule, but it's all about money these days.
And now his fires have gone out.
CS was only on our schedule this year because UCF backed out of the deal we had with them a few years ago which left UF scrambling to find an opponent. We tried to replace CS with Utah but they wanted a return game and Foley will have nothing to do with a schedule where UF plays less than 7 home games which are worth millions of dollars. No one likes it, but that's just the way it is.
The only way an annual scUM game or a quality H&H series will ever happen, is if the UGA game is moved out of Jax. That isn't happening either.
Oooo hai Gators...

They honed their boho eyes while studying up on marketing and fashion, traveling the world, and setting up shop at a design firm in Sydney — but lucky for us, they've landed right here in downtown L.A. We have a sneaky feeling these gals are on to something big (and just a smidge more lucrative than peddling lemonade!), and you'll catch our drift if you click through the chic snaps of their killer style and super cool studio.

Ever put a tightly filled balloon in the freezer, then come back and see it largely shrunken? Once you bring it back out into a warm room it expands again. Now what if we could use that expanding and contracting for moving a piston... and you've got the general idea. If you heat the air, it expands, if you cool it it contracts. It's a very simple idea, for a very simple engine.
let's get building!
here' s the video of the build and the engine working!
Step 1: Materials
utility knife
plyers (long nose)
wire cutters
drill bits 1/16, 5/32, 1/2-3/4
drawing compass
CD and case / large plastic jar lid
10x5 inch piece of steel or aluminum two 5x5 pieces are fine, needs to have some thickness
CD tower (or even better) a LARGE 5 inch wide glass bottle. (see picture)
EPOXY (JB weld/ JB kwik AND regular, cheap epoxy. If it says non shrink, don't get it!)
*there's been a lot of issue with epoxy, I never realized different epoxies would cause such a difference, so I've added a picture of the epoxy. Here's one place to buy it: www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/37084/n/Bob-Smith-Industries-MID-CURE-15-Minute-Epoxy-9oz Hopefully this clears up the issues!
wire (welding rod is preferred, Stainless steel is best) 1/16 inch stainless or 1/8 steel - MUST BE SMOOTH and straight!
7 inches of PVC pipe
Foam board (5x10 inches or more, two 5x5 pieces are fine)
3/4" copper pipe
hotglue and glue gun
fan weights
what is the middle pistin covered with tape made of can u plz tell me??
This is a beautiful to Stirling engine. It is such a shame that this brilliant technology is not used more widely for every day applications.
hello can i use water temperature for the sterling engine
please answer immidiately
very nice project !
buy (or make) and heat it with solar magnifying frensel lenses:
Here is some more info on Stirling engines.
A Small Free-Piston S t i r l i n g R e f r i g e r a t o r
A. K. de Jonge
(14th I n t e r s o c i e t y Energy Conversion Engineering Conference,
Boston, Mass, Aug. 5-10, 1979)
what should i do?
I realize you said not to use the 5 minute kind, but I did not see any thermal contraction issues when it was setting. On the contrary the epoxy seemed to bond to the copper. Is this because I did not put a sufficient coating of oil on the pipe? I used wd-40. I also pre-mixed it before pouring it in.
If you did You need to run a file around the inside to stop the edges catching.

Administrative Program Support: Marsha Hawkins, email@example.com or (703)292-4877
Apply to PD 09-6880 as follows:
For full proposals submitted via FastLane:
standard Grant Proposal Guide proposal preparation guidelines apply.
For full proposals submitted via Grants.gov:
the NSF Grants.gov Application Guide; A Guide for the Preparation and Submission of NSF Applications
via Grants.gov Guidelines applies.
(Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the
NSF website at: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=grantsgovguide)
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
Full Proposal Window: October 1, 2015
November 2, 2015
October 1 - October 31, Annually Thereafter
Note that if the last day of a submission window falls on a weekend or official Federal government holiday, the deadline is always the following business day, at 5 pm local time.
Note: For proposals with significant emphasis on sustainable chemistry, consider making proposal submissions to this program with the Proposal Title as: 'SusChEM: Name of Your Proposal'. For more information, see the DCL on SusChEM (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13013/nsf13013.pdf), a new NSF Emphasis Area."
The Chemical Measurement and Imaging Program supports research focusing on chemically-relevant measurement science and imaging, targeting both improved understanding of new and existing methods and development of innovative approaches and instruments. Research areas include but are not limited to sampling and separation science; electrochemistry; spectrometry; frequency- and time-domain spectroscopy; sensors and bioassays; and microscopy. Chemical (as opposed to morphological) imaging and measurement tools probing chemical properties and processes across a wide range of spatial scales - from macroscopic structures down to single molecules - are supported, as are innovations enabling the monitoring and imaging of rapid chemical and electronic processes and new approaches to data analysis and interpretation, including chemometrics. Proposals addressing established techniques must seek improved understanding and/or innovative approaches to substantially broaden applicability. Sensor-related proposals should address new science and/or entirely new approaches with prospects for broad utility and significant enhancement of current capabilities. Assembly of array-type devices using known sensing mechanisms is better suited to programs elsewhere, as is tailoring of known sensing mechanisms to specific new applications. Similarly, engineering aspects of microfluidics and "lab-on-a-chip" device design, technology, and application, are better directed elsewhere. Development of imaging contrast agents is not supported, although proposals addressing entirely new mechanisms of chemical imaging can be.
Included among proposals considered by the Program are those (formerly submitted to the CRIF:ID program) for which the primary focus is on development of new instrumentation enabling chemical measurements likely to be of wide interest and utility to the chemistry research community. Such proposals should include the words "Instrument Development" at the beginning of the title, and include in the Project Description consideration of a development timeline, potential utility, and prospects for promulgation of the idea, should it prove viable; these tend to be of interest to reviewers of instrument development proposals. Proposals with large equipment requests (over $150,000) may be better suited to the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program; investigators are urged to discuss such proposals with a program officer before submission. Proposals with anticipated utility primarily in other communities (e.g., biology) should be directed to programs in other Directorates or to MRI. Industrial partnerships (e.g., via "GOALI" - Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry) are encouraged as means of enhancing promulgation, but concepts nearing commercialization are better fits to SBIR or STTR Programs.
Proposals for optimizing and/or utilizing established methods for specific applications should be directed to programs focused on the application. There are closely-related programs in other Divisions; where to submit depends on the primary focus of the proposed research.

Cumbria Police search reservoir and Ormsgill area for missing Barrow man
Last updated at 15:06, Friday, 30 November 2012
POLICE have stepped up the search to find missing man Tony Bond.
- Related article: Search for missing Barrow man continues
They are focusing upon the area around Barrow cemetery, Ormsgill reservoir and unused commercial and residential properties in the lower Hawcoat area.
DCI Bob Qazi said: "We still believe that Tony is living somewhere in the Barrow area, possibly sleeping rough, and the searches are being made to establish his whereabouts and safety.
"We would again appeal to anybody who has seen Tony to contact the police and to also remind people to check their outbuildings for any signs he may have been there."
Mr Bond, 40, is described as white, 5ft 10' with mousey coloured hair and a rugged complexion.
Shortly before he was reported missing on November 9, he was seen in Abbotsmead Approach, Barrow, wearing a white polo top and blue jeans.
Police believe he was in the area of the roundabout in Schneider Road and Ainslie Street, Barrow, around 10.30pm and ask for anyone in the area at that time to cast their minds back to see if they remember if they saw him walking along the street.
Along with Mr Bond's family and friends, police have said they are growing increasingly worried for his wellbeing and are eager to receive any information which may help to confirm that he is safe.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Barrow police on 101.
First published at 15:51, Wednesday, 28 November 2012

Have your say
I hope Tony is ok, its concerning that Tony hasn't been located as yet, presumably his credit cards and telephone are being monitored. I hope there is a happy ending to this nightmare.

Title: ex-stinked - part 1
Date: November 14, 2006
Summary: Beaver and Steve travel back to prehistoric times to discover the true reason dinosaurs went extinct.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Stegosaurus, Zombie Dinosaurs
Onomatopoeias used: "THPTT!", "MONCH", "RUSTLE!", "RARGH", "GRUAAH", "CRAASH!"
Number of panels: 6
Panel 1
Beaver and Steve are walking through a prehistoric jungle.
A small reptile sticks out its tongue and THPTT!s at Beaver.
Beaver: "Tell me again what we're doing here in the late cretaceous era Steve..."
Steve: "We're here to answer once and for all a question that has baffled scientists for decades: ..."
Panel 2
Steve is surrounded by question marks and pictures depicting dinosaurs in various life-threatening situations, including being frozen in ice, wiped out by a meteor strike or abducted by aliens.
Steve: "... What really killed off the dinosaurs?"
Panel 3
Beaver and Steve are hiding behind some bushes when they discover a dinosaur in the wild.
Beaver: "Oh Look! There's one now!"
Steve: "Ah, a noble stegosaurus, most handsome of all the dinosaurs. Let's observe it and see if we can discover a clue to the cause of their extinction..."
The stegosaurus MONCHs away at some flowers, oblivious to the RUSTLE!s coming from the bushes around it.
Steve: "Look - Something's moving in the bushes over there..."
Panel 4
Several rotting dinosaurs CRAASH! out of the jungle.
Steve: "Zombie dinosaurs!"
A zombie brontosaurus takes a BITE! out of the stegosaurus.
Zombie T-Rex: "RARGH" (which appears to translate as: 'BRAAIINS'.)
Zombie Brachiosarus: "GRUAAH" (which translates to: 'GRUAAH'.)
Steve: "Just as I'd always suspected: the dinosaurs were wiped out by a zombie plague!"
Panel 5
Steve: "Just wait til the boys at the scientific society hear about this! Come on Beaver, lets get back to the time machine and we'll be sipping champagne before you can say 'We're surrounded by giant undead reptiles with an insatiable hunger for the flesh of the living'!"
Beaver: "But Steve, we're surrounded by giant undead reptiles with an insatiable hunger for the flesh of the living!"
Panel 6
Beaver and Steve are surrounded by zombie dinosaurs now.
Steve: "Do you have to always be so literal?"
[To be contd.]
Fun Facts
- The Ancient Cretaceous word for "Braaaiins" is, apparently "Rargh". However, "Gruaah" has remained unchanged for 136 million years. This makes "Gruaah" a linguistic cognate to modern English.

shoes for the ole and young
i have purchased many pairs of ""quality"" and these top them all. i am 70 years old and always in search for the shoe that feels good on the feet, this shoe puts a smile on my face. when the feet are unhappy, one will tend not to enjoy the time. the leather is constructed to take the foot and secure it uniformly in an open way.
vista, california
Most comfortable new shoe ever
I expected to have to break these shoes in. The first time I put them on they felt broken in and comfortable. They are light and flexible, as well as very attractive. Summer here we come!
Nor Cal.
Very Comfy
I wear a 13 wide so I was a little apprehensive since 47 was the largest size. The sandals fit great, the most comfy pair I have had in some time.
Dayton, OH
Simply the best
These sandals are stand out in looks and comfort. My wife loves them (on me). She looked at the men's shoes page the other night and concluded they were the nicest things there. She recommended I buy a second pair. I have. I bought size 12 first and they go well with thick socks. My second pair is 11 1/2 (my true size) to wear thin socks or bare feet.
Sydney, NSW, Australia
Do your feet a favor and don't put off purchasing these sandals due to the cost - they are well worth the price! They are high quality, comfortable, cool looking and have great support. I plan on buying a back-up pair as I wear mine nearly every day.

Three bills that could make it easier for police to cite drivers who are at fault in car-bike collisions are moving forward in the Virginia General Assembly.
Bicycling advocacy groups, including the Virginia Bicycling Federation, have been unsuccessfully lobbying for stricter safety laws since the 2010 session.
The initial inspiration for the effort was the death of Daniel Hersh, a Virginia Beach man who was killed in April 2009 when he was struck by an SUV while riding his bike. The driver was not charged in the incident.
While there are laws on the books now that police can use in such cases, the laws in Virginia are not entirely clear in regard to collisions between a motor vehicle and a bicycle, said Allen Muchnick, an Arlington resident and Northern Virginia member of the Virginia Bicycling Federation.
They are advocating a legal change so that "when a bicyclist is injured by a negligent motorist, a traffic citation could be issued and, if necessary, civil damages could be pursued," he said.
One bill, sponsored in the House of Delegates by local Dels. Alfonso Lopez (D-Dist. 49) and Mark Keam (D-Dist. 35), would change the law on following too closely to include bicycles, mopeds and electric bikes. This would mean a driver who hits a bicyclist from behind could be cited for following too closely, as they could if they struck a car.
That bill was backed by the House Transportation Committee on a 20-1 vote Tuesday.
A similar bill in the Senate, introduced by Fredericksburg Sen. Bryce Reeves (R-Dist. 17), includes the "following too closely" change and also would require a minimum 3-foot passing clearance for a car or truck moving past a bicycle or other slower-moving vehicle. The current legal requirement is 2 feet.
The Senate version of the bill unanimously passed the Transportation Committee on Wednesday.
Fairfax Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Dist. 34) aims to address a different issue, requiring that people parked on a street use caution in opening their car door into traffic.
Bicyclists commonly refer to this as "dooring" -- when they are hit by a car door that suddenly opens or they have to suddenly swerve to avoid being hit, putting them at greater risk of a collision with a moving car.
Petersen's bill, which has now passed the full Senate on a 23-17 vote, would implement a $100 fine for such a traffic infraction.
Muchnik said the goal is not just to punish negligent drivers, but also to raise public awareness.
"Having the law changed helps educate motorists," he said.

Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 10 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Runner kid Beat gloves for tough mudder I used these gloves for tough mudder. 10 1/2 miles of running and tough obstacles. These gloves were wonders when trying to get over wooden walls over money bars without tearing up my hands! They drain water really quickly! I love them! September 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by aj2013 Quality is not worth the $ Bought these gloves on April 28, 2013, they started to develop small holes in the palm last week. As of today August 8, 2013 they are completely shredded. So in a little over 3 months these expensive gloves are worthless. I shred normal cheap $12 gloves in the same amount of time. Save your money and buy cheap gloves since you will be replacing fairly often. August 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Gil would be great but poor quality I've tried almost every pair Dick's sells these were by far the best. Only downfall after 4 month the glove split from the palm stitching. Great for the hands the price compared to the quality not up to par. December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Irunnoft Worth the money I bought these hoping they would help mitigate the severe callouses that have grown due to strength training. These gloves were a perfect fit and extremely comfortable. They are well constructed and made curls and bench presses much more manageable. I would most definitely purchase these again. December 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Ralph Expensive Fair workout gloves but way to expensive any other gloves would do the same at a third of the price. August 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by primecut true features The features listed on the box ("fewer calluses and blisters" and "helps manage perspiration") are true so far. With my previous pair of gloves, I had these issues occur regularly. There's enough padding on the upper palm, just below the fingers, to reduce friction with the weights. August 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by CBuck Bionic 1/2 Gloves I went to a Dick's store to find some finger-less gloves. They had the style, but not the size I wanted. I tried on other Bionic gloves to try to ensure I would get the right size. Then, I had the clerk order a pair of XL online while I was at the store. As it turns out, even XL is a bit tight. I think XXL would be better. Unfortunately, they don't come in XXL. Too, bad for me. Now, I'll have to be content with a too-tight pair of finger-less gloves. Poor me. August 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by fred awesome glove, poor quality stitching in fingers stitching around fingers started ripping during first use. other than that great comfortable glove July 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by No more wrist straps The grip on this glove is perfect These gloves have eliminated my need for wrist straps while doing my dead lifts. I have a much tighter and comfortable grip on the bar with the padding and leather palms. The knuckle length cut gives me the flexibility I need for my dumbell lifts as well. Great addition to my work out bag. June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Zeo Awesome 1st impression! It's a little early for a proper review, as I've only had them for about 10 days. Only time will tell how well they hold up. However, my impression so far is awesome. They fit and feel great (snug and flexible). Lightweight and durable. Just the right amount of palm padding. A very well designed glove. May 21, 2013

I have written a book (google 'Weave of the Ride') and I have built a community of followers of the past few years. I would like to put on a book launch. Does anyone have any tips and advice? I live in London so there are plenty of cafes. What sort of timescale from announcing it to the event happening? How many people should I invite and how is best to invite people? How many books should I have available for purchase?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Writers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for authors, editors, reviewers, professional writers, and aspiring writers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Do you have a website/blog? Put the launch up there, advertise it among your friends and they'll spread the word. Ask local cafes/bookshops if they'll be happy to host a launch, and see if the libraries would be happy to take a copy. A friend of mine has just published her first book so I'm well versed in what to do!

Asian players should adapt to new energy realities, says Dow exec
11:43 AM MDT | May 22, 2014 | Natasha Alperowicz
The change in the global energy landscape will profoundly affect Asia's petrochemical industry, according to Peter Sykes, president Asia/Pacific at Dow Chemical. In his keynote address to the Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference (APIC) at Pattaya, Thailand, today, he urged Asian players to adapt through greater national energy security, shifting toward higher-added-value products, and innovation. Shale gas developments in the United States will majorly change the shape of the world petrochemical industry. By 2018, US chemical industry revenue is predicted...

Comments On Feb 22, 2015:these are going in my trail bike that is a backup bike, so i wasn't super concerned about durability/longevity. i decided on these based purely on price point. that said, they seem to be of decent quality, even had a dallop of grease in them, shocker. fit was good. Seals fit nice and tight. Not sure what type of grease they use or how long it will last in adverse conditions, but i added some Belray waterproof grease for a little insurance. happy with these for the price point. Wait and see now how long they last. good luck finding a country of origin stamp on bearing connections products.. i haven't found one yet.. but if they last... i guess it doesn't really matter much.

This story was updated at 3:15 p.m., Jan. 7, 2014.
Montgomery County Public Schools opened on time Tuesday as the region faced record cold temperatures, sparking concern and complaints from some parents, students and others.
Many took to social media, sending Twitter messages to Superintendent Joshua P. Starr and the school system about their disappointment that school openings were not delayed by the bitter temperatures.
The temperature in Gaithersburg dipped to 1 degree Tuesday morning, according to Weatherbug observations.
Some nearby school systems opted to delay or close their schools. Fairfax County (Va.) Public Schools decided to close and Prince George's County Public Schools opened two hours late. Public schools in Washington remained open.
Dana Tofig, spokesman for the Montgomery County school system, said that four schools closed Tuesday due to weather-related issues.
Jackson Road Elementary School in Silver Spring and Capt. James E. Daly Elementary School in Germantown both closed after they lost power, according to Tofig.
White Oak Middle School in Silver Spring closed following a burst pipe in the building and Col. Zadok Magruder High School in Rockville closed following a loss of heat.
Most school buses started in the early morning weather, Tofig said. For those that didn't start, replacement buses were used.
"We had a few schools that have some weather-related issues," Tofig said Tuesday morning. "That happens in the winter when it's cold."
Some members of the school system community, however, expressed their unhappiness online, describing cold conditions waiting for the bus, walking to school and sometimes in school buildings.
One woman who identified herself as a county teacher wrote online Tuesday that "unfortunately I work in an area where students often come to school under dressed."
Some students directed sarcastic and angry — and sometimes expletive-filled — messages to both Starr and the school system.
"Why is my bus not here yet / my tears are frozen / thanks @MCPS," one student wrote.
At one bus stop in a Gaithersburg neighborhood, opinions about the school system's decision were mixed.
Standing bundled up in his garage, John Davis said he was "a little disappointed" that schools were open.
Davis said his daughter had come home Monday night saying there could be a two-hour delay.
"I didn't even really agree with that," he said.
His 10-year-old daughter, Lauren, stood with him to wait for the bus to Fields Road Elementary School, having just returned from helping other children cross the street and get on their buses.
Lauren said she had to tell some kids to put on their jackets.
"It's super cold outside; I wish there was no school," she said.
Other parents at the bus stop, however, said they supported the choice to keep schools open.
"I think it's fine, they should go — especially 'cause I have a high schooler and they have exams next week," said Bonnie Sneeringer of Gaithersburg.
Sneeringer — a former resident of Chicago familiar with cold weather — said she prepared her children by making sure they were bundled up.
"Cold is not a reason to get out of school," she said.
Michael Doran, principal at Thomas S. Wootton High School in Rockville, said the building was doing mostly fine despite the temperatures.
Doran said one classroom was cold enough to move students to a warmer spot in the building.
"Those kids are meeting in the media center today," he said.
Students have been out of school a lot recently, Doran said, and too many interruptions can potentially push back exam schedules and extend the school year.
Though some students were "annoyed," attendance did not seem to be affected, he said.
"I've been walking around the classrooms and they seem pretty full," Doran said. "They might complain, but they're here."
Tina Campbell — the parent of a kindergartner at Rachel Carson Elementary School in Gaithersburg — said in an email Tuesday that she thinks a two-hour delay would have been a reasonable call so kids could have walked to school or a bus stop in slightly warmer conditions.
Campbell of Kentlands said she and her husband decided it would be best for him to miss work in the morning to take their 5-year-old son — who has chronic bronchitis and nosebleeds — directly to school.
"with preston's medical issues, i had concerns about him being out in the cold, even for a short period of time," she wrote in the email.
Rachel Carson Elementary School Principal Lawrence Chep said that two rooms were without heat at the school Tuesday.
Campbell said she found it frustrating that the school system does not share more information about how it makes weather-related decisions and what input parents and teachers have in the process.
Students have been "out of control" on social media regarding the school system's decision and should be more polite online, she said.
"But at the same time, I don't think it is unreasonable for students and parents to feel like they need an outlet to communicate their frustration and perspective," she said.

"The season over all i would have to give it about a 3 I hoped that the snow they pridicted would have fallen and i think keystone could have done a better job on grooming like some trails were over groomed"
"Funny, I ski and snowboard and the only people to ever cut me off are skiers while I'm boarding. Try both so you understand the limitations of each. Much easier to stop/turn on a dime on skis than a board. So maybe you really cut the boarder off?"
"Best day! No lines! No ahole snowboarders cutting you off. Drop everything and come up for sure! #taxdaysnowday "
"Park all to ourselves on the last day. No traffic, no lines. Very slushy, but fun! The pool ski was fun to watch. Thanks Keystone for a great year."

Combining technical excellence with a bold aesthetic, the new Gouverneur line expresses Piaget's quintessential expertise and historical values. As part of the Black Tie watch collection, it follows the tradition of shaped cases in a classic design, housing mechanical movement and complications that form part of the entire design, developed and produced by the Manufacture. With the Gouverneur range, Piaget reveals a brand new case merging a circle and an oval in a subtly balanced design. The alternating shapes are repeated until the centre of the dial creating a sophisticated, soft and harmonious structure, evoking both perfection and innovation. Equipped with the 800P movement, renowned for its durability, this self-winding Gouverneur watch offers hours, minutes, central seconds and a date window at 6 o'clock. For the ultimate in sophistication, the black oscillating weight stamped with the Piaget coat-of-arms is reminiscent of the bracelet lining in the same colour. Set with two rows of delicately set diamonds, this luxury timepiece combines elegance with sparkle.
800P PVD movement
This 800P PVD movement belongs to the third generation of self-winding ultra-thin movements from the watchmaker Piaget. It includes many functions and has a screw balance, a balance stop, a central second indication and a large date display at 6 o'clock. In order to ensure long-lasting autonomy the movement is also equipped with a double barrel which, thanks to its two mainsprings, offers an improved power-reserve function. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the bevelled bridges, the blued screws and the black oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat-of-arms round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.

Google Chrome is far more than just a hobbled Web-based operating system — it's slowly inching its way toward being all the OS you could need. If you've recently purchased a Chromebook, the Chrome App Store can help you make the most out of Google's platform. You can edit photos, play music, manage your finances and respond to emails — even when you're offline. If you're ready to step-up your Chrome experience, here are the apps you need to install now.
Have you ever wanted to learn a new language? Duolingo is the popular free application that's helping users learn a new way of communicating in their spare time. The Chrome app brings the platform off the smartphone and onto the desktop. Users can choose to study Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese or English, joining the ranks of the bilingual and beyond.
Thank you for this, Some great suggestions. AudioSauna looks interesting.
These aren't Chrome Apps…they're web apps.
THESE ARE NOT APPS. These are simply links to websites. This webpage should be called best links on the Chrome Store!
i,d like to play spectrum games on my chromebook. which is the best app please
who ever chose the pic for the "Rdio" app, you have a good taste in music! woo! tame impala!
