EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 227 pounds, Ramses Barden doesn't look like a prototypical slot receiver.
Granted, it's a role the second-year pro out of Cal Poly feels most comfortable in -- at least when he's out on the practice field.
With All-Pro Steve Smith flourishing in the Giants' offense out of the slot, Barden has had few opportunities to play the position on game days. But after Smith strained his pectoral in Thursday's practice, it may be Barden who gets the chance to fill his role Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images
Ramses Barden could see time in the slot Sunday.
"Every week I try to prepare like I'm an integral part of the offense," said Barden, who has caught just two passes for 30 yards this season. "If my name is called, I'll do it full speed and to the best of my ability.
"I play the slot more than I play outside. It's a challenge, but there's ways to win. You can always win when you're in the slot and that's what's great about it."
Mario Manningham and Duke Calhoun also could see time in the slot, according to head coach Tom Coughlin.
"I'm comfortable with it, I've just never had to do it," Manningham said. "Now I have to. It isn't a big thing, we've just gotta come out and execute and put us in a position to win, that's all."
Hakeem Nicks, the beneficiary of the one-on-one coverage he gets on the outside when teams elect to double-team Smith, said it's up to Barden, Manningham and Calhoun to elevate their play in Smith's absence -- especially if the Cowboys elect to gear their defensive focus toward him.
"Guys just gotta step up," said Nicks, currently second in the NFL with nine touchdowns, "We haven't heard any feedback as far as what's going on. We're just going to approach everything the same until we hear otherwise."
Nicks isn't going to be at 100 percent either. He rolled his ankle last week against the Seahawks, but said he'll be ready to play Dallas.
Big Blue In Review
With the Giants soaring into the second half, ESPNNewYork.com hands out its midterm grades. Guess which QB-crushing unit is at the head of the class?
"I don't think it's something that's gonna hinder me," Nicks said. "I've been dealing with it for a while. It's something that just comes and goes."
Smith, who has caught 47 balls for 517 yards and three scores, is known for being a reliable third-down target -- as well as quarterback Eli Manning's most consistent receiver in a group that features dynamic players like Nicks and Manningham.
"He's the most polished receiver we have," Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said. "He's a guy that has really earned the respect of the defense to the point where many of the things they do are designed to stop him and that's what opens up the opportunities elsewhere: whether it's a double team or a two zone or they're manning him up within the zone and bringing the free safety over to help in case it's a double move on his part. I think people basically said it's hard to cover him one-on-one inside, so people have committed other people and additional resources, whether it's another person or a schematic adjustment, so that either opens up running opportunities for us or passing opportunities for other people. It's a huge loss, but we'll make due."
After his interview with the media, Barden was talking with a reporter who mentioned that when he thinks of the best slot receivers in the NFL, the Patriots' Wes Welker is the first name that comes to mind.
"I think of Steve Smith," Barden responded.
Barden may have to pull off his best Smith impression if the Giants are going to win Sunday.

I love travelling, do it yourself, as a backpacker, challenge yourself. Living in a city, we only work day and night, without thinking the meanning of life. What is life? Work on day, sleep at night, the sun rises and sets, and people keep on working, complaining the life. Money, promotion, success, future... What about the relationship? Friendship? And the most important...
By travelling, I learn the meanning of LIFE. I learned how to enjoy the world, how to enjoy the LIFE. There are many beautiful thing we can see, we can feel and we can touch in the life.
Climb up the hill and wait for the sunrise. Lie on the boat and hear the murmuring of the flowing water, close your eyes and feel the ripples. Sit on the deck and see the sunset, lie on the sand and feel the sky covering your body with a starry night. Touch the grass, the sand and the water, and experience the life. Talk to the people and feel their life.
Use your imagination, you can fly to the past and flow to the future, flipping the memories or seeking your dream. Colour the pictures!
Life is full of joy. By enjoying every single scenery in your trip, you will learn how to appreciate all you own in your life, including LOVE.
Seek for a dream and achieve the goal. One day, when you stand at the end of the road and look back to the way you passed, you will say "I have seen the world, I have reached my dreams, I have experienced the LIFE!"
The experience of my life during last trips. Hope you will like them and you can share my feelings.

Skip to comments.The great flood legends - ancient misreadings of the fossil record?
Posted on 06/21/2004 7:49:48 AM PDT by aculeus
Over the past two decades there have been renewed attempts to search for remains of Noah's ark and to discover evidence of the biblical Flood itself. In the early 1980s, several expeditions led by an American astronaut and others ascended Mt. Ararat, the legendary resting place of Noah's ark in northern Turkey, in an unsuccessful search for remains of the ark. More recently, evidence has been reported that the Black Sea may have formed suddenly about 7500 years ago by break-through flooding from the Mediterranean Sea (Ryan & Pitman 1998; Ballard 2001). These authors speculate that this natural disaster (for the then dwellers of the Black Sea basin) was the source of biblical and other ancient deluge legends.
It has been generally assumed that since the Flood is such a detailed and epic part of the book of Genesis, the Flood must have really happened. But what if the ancients among whom the story originated simply, but falsely, inferred from perceived evidence around them, that a flood of such great magnitude must have occurred sometime in their past? Their seemingly irrefutable evidence may be no more than the presence of marine fossils in high elevations.
Fossils of marine organisms, especially shellfish like clams and other molluscs, and sometimes fish, can be found in relatively high elevations in many places around the world. They are found throughout the Near East and countries bordering the Mediterranean. These include Egypt and Libya (Turek et al. 1989:303-306), Lebanon (Case 1982:412-415), and in the mountains and hills of Armenia, Syria, Israel, Egypt and Jordan (deMaillet 1968:70,89,96,249,267,292,299,304). An extreme example in the Western Hemisphere is shown in Figure 1.
Now, to the ancients, fish and/or seashell fossils up in the hills and mountains naturally implied that water levels at some time in the past had to be that high. How else would those seashells get up there?
In the experience of the ancients, only a persistent, calamitous flood could account for such high water in a region that is otherwise largely desert, and where the nearest lakes and seas are far below the elevations where some of these fossils are found.
The world-wide occurrence of marine fossils in high elevations can explain why stories of a great flood are found in the folklore or legends of ancient peoples in diverse places around the globe (Bright 1961; Wickersham 2000: 66-69). It is understandable that primitive peoples had no other conclusion to draw than that a deep flood, one like no other in their experience, must have put those seashells way up there. They did not know about mountain building and the geological processes that can raise fossil-bearing, sedimentary rock strata to great heights. In their minds, the mountains and hills had always been there, just as they saw them, from the beginning of time. The mountains never changed over their lifetime or even over generations. They had no way of knowing about the slow geological processes that we know about today.
The occurrence of marine fossils in high elevations also explains the ancient conclusion that a flood that deep must have covered the whole earth. To the ancients, a global flood also seemed to nicely explain why seashells were found on the hills and mountains in distant countries as well.
In any case, if this fossil explanation is correct, then searches for any remains of Noah's ark and for evidence of the Great Flood will continue to be futile, despite the possible discovery of major, local events like the filling of the Black Sea. The evidence today is the same evidence the ancients had---marine fossils on mountains and hills. They needed a great flood to explain why seashells were up that high. We know today that those marine creatures lived in low-lying lakes or seas millions of years ago. Their fossilised remains were gradually lifted to present-day heights by slow, mountain-building processes that were totally unknown to the ancients.
So it is simply the lowly, or should we say lofty, fossil that is probably the culprit behind the Great Flood stories around the world. Some writers and thinkers from early Christian times to the present have cited fossils as evidence of the Great Flood (Halstead 1982: 10, 32, 70-72). But nobody seems to have considered the possibility that the ancient contributors to Genesis did the same.

Fossils begot floods ping.
Its all water under the bridge.
So, how'd the coal get so deep ?
I suspect that it takes longer than 40 days and nights for those oysters to grow that big.
I also think that the Black Sea theory re. the Great Flood is a good theory.
Perhaps the fossil records are not too accurate, but Life on Earth is much older than thousands of years old. Millions of years old seems more accurate.
I don't need to refute the fossil records in order to believe in our Creator or to believe in the Creator of the Universe or to believe that the Bible is founded on the strongest foundation.
counting the minutes until the first reactionary creationist doesn't read the whole article to realize it does not support their fantasy...
Other thing of note is that there are plenty of ancient peoples that have no "flood myth" at all.
Is this the Russ McGlenn thread?
Man, wouldn't those make some awesome oyster stew!
I've also read recent articles that place the Biblical accounts of Noah as being based upon legends of the ancient Babylonians. Those accounts predate the Bible by several thousand years, and would have been available to the Jews who were taken to Babylon.
"It has been generally assumed that since the Flood is such a detailed and epic part of the book of Genesis, the Flood must have really happened."
There are numerous other detailed epics from ancient peoples (Greeks, Egyptians, China...) does that mean all those things happened as well? If one detailed ancient epic 'must have really happened' - why not all of them? Bedtime stories are fun but they sure aren't science.
I don't care what you say, I'm still not gonna let Ted Kennedy drive me to the party!
Good question.
Well, new soil is constantly being laid down over the old do to volcanic eruptions, earth movement tectonic activities, etc.
While this doesn't amount to much over a year's time frame -over a period of thousands of years it adds up - even over a few hundreds of years. Look at ancient cities, Roman ruins - they are all below curren ground levels.
Coal deposits were laid down millions of years ago.
I think the scholarly consensus is that the Noah's ark story was written before the exile.
Or Oysters Rocky-feller.
I don't know about that, but it wouldn't matter. Abraham came from ancient Sumeria, so presumably he -- and thus the ancient Hebrews -- already knew the Sumerian legends.

Thanks for the ping!
I'm glad you brought up Gilgamesh, however, because there is a tremendous amount of literary evidence that parts of the Bible were modeled after passages of Gilgamesh.
I had a student once in a World Literature class I was teaching who compared Gilgamesh to the Biblical stories of Saul and Samuel.
The comparisons are striking, especially as to the characters.
Right-o. Also, every single ancient civilization was built next to a river, or better yet, the confluence of rivers. Flooding was perhaps an annual event at the very least for almost every ancient city. That explains why so many different cultures have the flood stories, rather than say, blizzard or tornado stories.
Floods also were used for early farming techniques and were an integral part of ancient life. It's easy to surmise how the Noah story (and the others) came to be.
The cognate languages for Sumerian are, interestingly enough Saami (found in Northern Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia), an ancient non-Han written language found in China, and the ONLY American Indian language to be successfully linked to an Old World language.
These languages in turn may be related to the Dravidian languages, and all of them related to the Uralic-Altaic group (although primarily in vocabulary, but not in grammar).
There are Saami petroglyphs in Finland and Russia drawn on the underside of cliffs that are estimated to be about 7,700 years old. With a bit of understanding of Arctic cultural customs and the place of the shaman in society, you can make out the Story of Lot's experience after the flood, including why momma turned to stone, and why poppa ended up in the tent with the daughters!
(Curious? The deal is the mother failed to make suitible arrangements for her daughter's marriages, hence she turned into stone and the girls slept with their father ~ certainly enough incentive for any woman to make sure the girls got safely married off.)
It's believed the Saami have been in the area up to 10,000 years (or back to the time when the North American ice sheet melted), and may have spent most of the last full glaciation in the area!
Their stories, if taken South as they followed the herds to Mesopotamia, would include a great flood from when Antarctica melted (which should have sent massive soliton waves up to 2 or 3 miles high crashing Northward into most of the populated places around the world in that day).
They'd also have stories of a slower rise in sealevels at the time North America melted. Once in Mesopotamia, they could have added to the basic flood story.
Note, too, the Lot story and the Great Flood probably came in the same package.
The basic Great Flood story among the Dravidian speaking peoples of India (which is incorporated in Hinduism where Krishna manifests himself as the Great Fish) is less elaborate than the Sumerian Flood story. It, too, is found in the most ancient written documents in that part of the world. Again, it's not surprising to find a Saami story showing up in the hands of folks speaking cognate languages.
Oysters Rockefeller ?
260 million years or so for bituminous coal. I think the anthracite is much older based on hardness and how folded the seams are today.
"Figure 1: Marine Fossils on Top of the Andes Mountains. More than 500 giant fossilised oysters were found 3000 metres (about 2 miles) above sea level in Peru..."
Try eating a dozen of THOSE!
Great a myth knew about a legend...
Well, anthracite isn't necessarily older, the key thing is that it just received much more pressure and heating than bituminous; Eastern PA has anthracite because it was closer to the mountain-building episodes and plate/island collisions (hence the folding) than the Bituminous coal around Pittsburgh.
I wonder if anyone has ever done a thorough study on the forces that created the various coals of the US. I've always thought the HGI and FSI measurements might be an indicator of age. Likewise various vol contents might indicate age and/or pressure.
Huh? People were (and are) always coming up with stories to explain stuff they find (c.f. "faerie rings).
BTW, there is no physical evidence for a universal flood.
Then you have http://www.lostlanguages.com/ which will give you a "Turk's eye view" of the whole business. There are some claims here that are a bit over the top, but not as far as you might imagine. Remember, the relationship between Sumerian and the Dravidian languages, and them with Turkish languages, is a relatively recent discovery. 100 years ago nobody even knew Sumerian existed!<P>To say the least, virtually none of the modern Dravidian speakers resembles in the slightest the ancient speakers.
If you are lucky you will latch on to some of the discussion boards where experts in this widely known field discuss the real relationships among the Finno-Ugric languages. These guys get excited ~ pulling knives, kicking shins, oh, my the blood!
You might well look up "odin, thor, herb woman, raindeer man, and little redman" ~ then "soma" ~ this is the really old tyme religion ~ still practiced in some places!
There are books and books and books that detail how the Saami religious practices have spread throughout the world, even to the still primitive Indo-Europeans who were just then invading the Valley of the Indus thousands of years ago.
It's also fair to presume the Sumerians' ancestors survived at least one and maybe several "Great Floods" besides those they encountered in Mesopotamia.
Actually, the Sumerians and their Saami relatives might well have been among the few human beings to survive the melting of Antarctica. When that happened ocean levels rose hundreds of feet drowning all human habitation in our natural range ~ river estuaries!
If petroleum is supposed to be a non-renewable resource and a product of organic material that was buried, how come it only is found thousands of feet underground and below the fossil record?
That has always been a more fascinating mystery to me than the Biblical Flood.
Here you have a layer of coal with basalt rock (cooled molten lava) on top of it, sealed up for the ages. Not only that, there may be another layer underneath the first one.
Had the hapless forest (or other plant life) been left on the surface of the ground, it would have slowly rotted, oxidized and gone away, never to be seen again.
Those layers of coal could tell us much more about the pre-history of the earth if we were interested enough to study them.
What is the current thinking on the time frame? A slow melt wouldn't do the job. A rapid rise in sea level would, I presume, require that a massive continental ice pack broke free and slid quickly into the ocean. Is there evidence for this?
I have stood on a coal seam and looked up at eighty feet of shale wall (in an open pit mine) and wondered how long it took for the coal to solidify and how the heck all that shale got on top of it. A further puzzle; just above the shale, in certain locations contained in a clay band, was another thin seam of coal...
Are you a turtle?
That's an easy question to answer. The answer is, "you're quite mistaken about petroleum only being found deep, and there are many mechanisms by which biogenerated petroleum can end up in so-called 'basement reservoirs'".
Where did you get these fallacies -- creationist tracts, or anti-oil-industry conspiracy sites?
The world's first successful drilled oil well was the Drake well in Titusville Pennsylvania, in 1859. It struck oil at the depth of a whopping 69.5 feet. That's not a typo.
Drake chose this area because people had been striking oil accidentally while digging water wells.
I'm sorry, did I hear you say that petroleum is only found at depths of thousands of feet?
Sure, most modern wells are typically thousands of feet deep, but only because a) we're able to drill that deep now with high-tech equipment, and b) the "easier" shallower fields have mostly already been drilled and drained over the past 140+ years.
Here's a depth distribution of US oil-producing formations:
As for "below the fossil record", note that life existed on Earth long before it developed hard body parts (like shells) which would readily fossilize. "Below the fossil record" is not synonymous with "below the point where there was life".
But in any case, there are known ways by which biogenic petroleum can end up in basement rock, including:
There are many possible sources for the oil accumulations in basement reservoirs, however, three sources are referenced most commonly:
- Overlying organic rock from which the oil was expelled downward during compaction.
- Lateral, off-the-basement but topographically lower, organic rock from which oil was squeezed into an underlying carrier bed through which it migrated updip into the basement rock.
- Lower, lateral reservoirs from which earlier trapped oil was spilled due to tilting or overfilling (Landes et al, 1960).
Mechanisms have been identified that could allow the downward migration of oil into fractured basement when fracture dilation is caused during shearing in an anisotropic stress field (Pine & Batchelor, 1984). Dilatancy in the underlying reservoir rock reduces hydrostatic pressures in local areas of deformation. Pressure gradients are thereby established between the potential basement reservoir rocks and the overlying source and carrier beds containing oil, gas and water. Thus, a tendency to 'suck in' fluids into the basement rocks will be created; this view is supported by direct observation, McNaughton (1953) and McNaughton & Garb (1975).
-- from Hydrocarbon Production From Fractured Basement Reservoirs
Think of the ice dam that kept Lake Agassiz in place only on a far larger scale.
At some point this structure would have to break, either due to melting, or earth movements. When that happened the entire mass of melt water, and residual ice, would immediately rush to the North, but in such vast quantities that the wave forms could not be contained locally. A soliton, or near soliton would be created around the perimeter.
This soliton would move North until it crashed into a continental land mass. Think of the Cheetah ~ they are so genetically identical it is thought that 14 thousand years ago (about the time of the Antarctic melt) that all of their kind but one mother with two kits were destroyed. They live ONLY in Southern Africa! Most everything in the South up to the Khalahari desert would probably have been destroyed by this soliton. A mother cheetah in a deep cave could have crawled out to a strange world for sure.
To the East, the Soliton would have devastated everything from Kenya to Indonesia along the coast, and as far inland as a 2 mile high mountain of water can go.
Further East, and North of the Equator, converging solitons might have raised even higher ~ maybe to 4 or 5 mile heights. They would crash into Japan, Siberia, Beringia, and the North American coast all the way to Baja.
This could be a very good reason why we don't have any good evidence of early human habitation in North America! South America would be as thoroughly devastated.
Even high civilization would be ground up like so much dust.
So, who would be left after this event? Well, people in Central Africa, those in Northern Europe and Asia, and folks in the Himalayan highlands would still be around.
And, if you take a good look, that's who we've got these days ~
BTW, I'm not a geophysicist by any means but I've been thinking about this problem for many years as a result of reading an analysis that has the entire Antarctic meltoff occuring as a slow runoff that creates a gentle 66 foot rise in the ocean that took hundreds of years.
The article at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/03/0317_030317_iceshelf.html touches on the idea, but it still projects a slow runoff over 200 years. This does not affect the propagation of the soliton! The soliton wave moves North rapidly using the deep ocean medium in which it finds itself. The body of water that generated it follows slowly behind raising the ocean levels by 66 feet. Unfortunately for the surviving humans, the soliton destroyed the existing shorelines in their favorite warm climate estuaries.
No doubt the survivors would have noticed both the passing of the soliton and the subsequent flood. I suppose this would be considered a Universal Flood.
Right! However it happened, it had to be catastrophic!
I was reading in "Power" magazine (a trade magazine for the power industry, where they use a lot of coal) where some operator found a bracelet stuck in a lump of coal as it went up a conveyor in a power plant.
I'd love to see the explanation of that one!
These were oral stories before they were written. It is not known with whom the stories originated. Gilgamesh is certainly old, but does it stem from something more ancient? ---probably.

Rosh Hashanah begins Sunday evening, Sept. 13 this year. The white ram by Mordicai Gerstein tells the story of the this animal's role in that holiday. It won the 2006 National Jewish Book Awards for Illustrated Children's Book. It is just one of many books in Cubberley Library for children and young adults that have a Jewish theme.
For your browsing pleasure, we present the following list of new scores added to composer complete editions, historical sets, and facsimiles:
Modern editions:
Rossini. Sei Sonate a Quattro per Violini, violoncello e contrabbasso. Edizione critica delle opere di Gioachino Rossini / comitato di redazione, Bruno Cagli, Philip Gossett, Alberto Zedda (ser.6/4)
Schönberg. Serenade, op. 24. Sämtliche Werke / Arnold Schönberg ; herausgegeben von Josef Rufer (Abt. VI: Kammermusik, Reihe B, Bd. 23/1)
How do you know a publication date? For most books, simply look for the copyright or edition information at the beginning. For mass produced modern CDs, check the edge of the disc surface for the "p date", or maybe it will be in the booklet inserted into the container. But what about piano rolls for reproducing and player pianos? Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound's Player Piano Project faces this question. The publication date certainly isn't stamped on the label, yet we need it.
Earlier this year, I reported on recent work the Archive of Recorded Sound (ARS) had undertaken to preserve video footage of Leon Theremin's visit to Stanford in 1991. In addition to participating in a symposium during his visit, hosted by the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Theremin was also the guest of honor at a concert held in Frost Amphitheater on September 27, 1991 during the Stanford Centennial Finale Weekend. The video footage preserved by the ARS earlier in the year unfortunately only included part of this notable concert. It was found to be missing some key performances, including an arrangement of Rachmaninov's Vocalise, featuring Theremin's daughter Natasha Theremin playing the vocal parts on her father's instrument, accompanied by Max Mathews conducting the orchestral parts with his radio batons. This footage was presumed lost...until now.
Good news! Stanford Libraries have upgraded the Stanford Mendeley Group account.
As a group member, you will now be able to take advantage of 25GB (5 GB personal and 20 GB shared) of storage and unlimited private groups with 25 users per group!
Other new features include the Mendeley Suggest tool as part of our group account and the new free android and iOS apps.
Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound just received its latest shipment of important material for the processing of the Player Piano Project: new boxes. To provide the best security and archival conditions (like temperature control!) for our piano rolls, they will be stored at SAL3, a high-density preservation facility in Livermore, California. Patrons interested in researching particular rolls will still have access, simply contact the Archive of Recorded Sound and we will request the rolls be shipped here for you to use.
Welcome to Stanford and the School of Engineering. As you prepare to start your studies, the Engineering library has pulled together some helpful tips for getting started with doing research at Stanford.
The Terman Engineering Library has three Engineering Subject Specialists to answer your questions and help you get what you need for your projects and research. Please feel free to reach out to us.

Customer Reviews
Useful but really annoying
It is a very useful app that tells you about earthquakes, but it has a very annoying feature, it constantly pops up an alert if there are any quakes happening and won't let you view the list of quakes due to the alerts are displayed in both a "banner" style notification and an "alert" style notification ( which is impossible according to notification settings) making it so you are having to press the "ok" button a million times for each quake before you can view heist, and then assuming there are after shocks (which all quakes have) you will have to press he "ok" button again for each after shock registered. If there are no quakes for more than 10 then and only then will you be able to view the list.
The app does not have a way t change the alert messages and/or is ignoring the Notification Center preferences!!!
Please fix that
If it is fixed then I will give the app a 5 star rating
New Favorite App
If you enjoy science, you will enjoy this app. Love the map feature! The map is great, but I wish the map would be able to encompass the entire layout at once on my ipad. A nice addition would be to have the ability to select an earthquake and have the option to be redirected to news stories pertaining to that specific quake.
Ground Breaking!!!
I LIKE this app, simple to use with great information about earthquakes from all over the whole world. One touch to see all the latest earthquake locations, times and earthquake magnitudes. The FREE app includes the option to see earthquake locations on a map.
This app is SHAKING up the competition like it's no one's FAULT.

110La Ritournelle
By far the pinnacle of Tellier's career to date, 'La Ritournelle' is also one of the most beautiful love songs of the last decade. "Oh nothing's going to change my love for you / I wanna spend my life with you," he croons at the outset like only a Frenchman can over twinkling glocks, that immemorial piano riff and of course a funky breakbeat from Tony Allen (of Fela Kuti's band). Add in some searing strings and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. Forget his bizarre breathy foray into hardcore, 2008's 'Sexuality', this was Sebastian at his most seductive. (TC)
109Stay Young
Put 'Stay Young' through a Wiki search and you get plenty of results: the Oasis track sitting among efforts from INXS and Gallagher and Lyle. Sadly, but not surprisingly, though, no mention of Ultrasound, the 90s' most underrated band. The indie-prog behemoths made one perfect, bloated double album of endlessly ambitious guitar rock before imploding (although they resurfaced a year ago for a reunion that's still seeing them play to a small hardcore across the country). 'Stay Young''s lethargic ode to keeping naïve was one of the album's highlights, a bittersweet epic that saw frontman Tiny spit out some of the band's, nay decade's, finest lyrics. (TC)
108Club Foot
The musical equivalent of clobbering a stranger in the face with a rubber mallet, 'Club Foot' introduced the world to Kasabian with the same level of subtlety that Tom and Serge have been trotting out in the seven years since its release. That the band have become so huge yet this remains their live trump card tells you everything you need to know about the raw power at the heart of the tune. That they managed to achieve anthem status with not only their first single, but a single without a recognisable chorus, tells you why Kasabian are and always will be the band of the people. Oh yeah. (MW)
107No Surprises
Never before has depicting a monotonous life in a dreary society sounded so compelling. The third and final single from 'OK Computer' (and the first to be recorded for the album) remains one of Radiohead's best-loved songs, its simplistic, almost childlike tune and gloomily observational lyric striking a chord as the millennium approached. Oh, and it's got a great video too. (AW)
106Let Down
Listening back to everything Radiohead have done since 'OK Computer' is weird. Let Down sounds so...simple and unassuming. It's almost Byrdsian in its guitar sounds. But it's weighty, clever, sleek and soulful. How many times do you find yourself saying that about Radiohead in 2011? The best bit arrives at 3:37, when Thom just loses it amid the band's gloriously uplifting crescendo. "You know where you are," he coos over and over in his best choirboy voice. He sounds unstoppable. (MW)
105Brimful Of Asha (Fatboy Slim Remix)
Cornershop were – still are, actually – an underrated albums band who became defined by the one hit they had that took over the world and, in "Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow", germinated a phrase that should have been as all-encompasing in British culture as "am I bovvered?" The original version was a slowed, stretched guitar meander that only sounded right when delivered – as the band tended to – when sat cross-legged; this remix was the party-starting peak of Norman Cook's career and became the pop and dance anthem of the year. (JF)
It's all in the way she tells it. No-one else could simultaneously sound as world-weary and mischievous as Lily Allen delivering that line about her emotionally-retarded ex "fucking the girl next door…what d'you do that for?". In those ten-and-a-half words alone an exasperated modern female icon was born, bloomed and was shortly after hounded into an early retirement. Lily always said she'd made the 'Alright, Still' album for a laugh and that we were lucky even to get a follow-up, but that doesn't stop 'Smile' being one of those perfect storms in pop music when a song, an attitude and an unlikely star (in this case Harry Enfield's gobby step-daughter) collide to create what is commonly known as a bit of a moment. (KM) How I Wrote 'Smile' Lily Allen It was the first song I wrote. I always thought you should write about what you know and this guy had taken up so much of my time and emotions that the words just poured out. It was never going to be a sugar-sweet love song because by that time I was over him and felt a slight desire to get revenge through a song. So the lyrics are definitely bittersweet. Then the record got to Number One and everyone asks if I feel it is a revenge story. I guess it is – but the truth is it's too painful for me to think of it in that way. It's a period of my life that I would rather not go back to.
103Poker Face
It's the most downloaded song by a female artist – ever – in the world. So clearly, you all like it. But that doesn't really matter, does it? Because that single "P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face line will stay nestled in your skull for days on end, even if you hate it. Only the Gaga could make the line "bluffin' with my muffin" both acceptable and cool. Besides, once you've had your song covered by Christopher Walken and Eric Cartman, you know you've totally made it. (RS)
102Formed A Band
If pop is all about the eternal and ever present now now NOW, what more brilliantly 'this is happening!' opening statement than having the chorus of your first single feature a man shouting "FORMED A BAND! WE FORMED A BAND!" over and over? Over the years, Art Brut have carved out a left-of-centre niche, fighting the indie fight, old-school style. But when they play this, it reminds us that back when they had just formed a band, they had a ramshackle fire and a way with an Elastica-raw riff that made them seem if not quite dangerous then, well, pretty thrilling. Unlikely hero Eddie Argos had quite the way with a one-liner, but there was never just one… "We're gonna be the band that writes the song/That makes Israel and Palestine get along". "Die your hair black/Never look back/My past is my business". A breathless, brilliant state-of-the-indie-nation address. (EM)
101Sea Within A Sea
This eight-minute epic signalled the point that everything changed for The Horrors. After an underwhelming first album, many had written off the five-piece – until they heard this. The first taster from 'Primary Colours' showed the band had been absorbing their impeccable influences and creating something far more satisfying – in this instance an amalgamation of the motorik rhythms of Neu!, the intensity of My Bloody Valentine and the druggy beauty of Spacemen 3. The results put them up there with all of those guys, and they've never looked back. (AW)

In this paper, an AlyGa1-yN/AlxGa1-xN/GaN (y >; x) double-heterostructure (DH) p-p-i-n ultraviolet (UV) detector is designed based on the influence of the polarization effect on the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure. The influences of doping concentration and Al composition in AlGaN on the photoelectric response of the UV detector are calculated and discussed by selfconsistent solving of the Schrödinger-Poisson equation and solving the carriers' continuity equation. The calculation results show that the AlyGa1-yN/AlxGa1-xN/GaN DH p-p-i-n UV detector presents a three-UV-response wavelength region with increasing bias voltage, and the three-UV-response wavelength region can be abnormally adjusted from 200 to 365 nm by changing the Al composition in the AlyGa1-yN and AAlxGa1-xN/GaN layers. The calculation results are verified by the Korona's experimental testing results at the end of this paper.

Product Description
Previously Enjoyed & Fully Guaranteed
The Marvel Comics superhero Captain America was born of World War II, so if you're going to do the origin story in a movie you'd better set it in the 1940s. But how, then, to reconcile that hero with the 21st-century mega-blockbuster The Avengers, a 2012 summit meeting of the Marvel giants, where Captain America joins Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk and other super pals? Stick around, and we'll get to that. In 1943, a sawed-off (but gung-ho) military reject named Steve Rogers is enlisted in a super-secret experiment masterminded by adorable scientist Stanley Tucci and skeptical military bigwig Tommy Lee Jones. Rogers emerges, taller and sporting greatly expanded pectoral muscles, along with a keen ability to bounce back from injury. In both sections Rogers is played by Chris Evans, whose sly humor makes him a good choice for the otherwise stalwart Cap. (Benjamin Button-esque effects create the shrinky Rogers, with Evans's head attached.) The film comes up with a viable explanation for the red-white-and-blue suit 'n' shield--Rogers is initially trotted out as a war bonds fundraiser, in costume--and a rousing first combat mission for our hero, who finally gets fed up with being a poster boy. Director Joe Johnston (The Wolfman) makes a lot of pretty pictures along the way, although the war action goes generic for a while and the climax feels a little rushed. Kudos to Hugo Weaving, who makes his Nazi villain a grand adversary (with, if the ear doesn't lie, an imitation of Werner Herzog's accent). If most of the movie is enjoyable, the final 15 minutes or so reveals a curious weakness in the overall design: because Captain America needs to pop up in The Avengers, the resolution of the 1943 story line must include a bridge to the 21st century, which makes for some tortured (and unsatisfying) plot developments. Nevertheless: that shield is really cool. --Robert Horton

So it came as a pleasant surprise that this latest comic book movie is not only better than the previous adaptations of Captain America's story, but is a robust, action-packed thriller in its own right. "Captain America: The First Avenger" has an earnest, idealistic tone mingled sometimes poignant realism -- exactly what it needs to have.
The time: World War II. Scrawny asthmatic Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) desperately wants to defend his country, but he's too puny to enter the army. Dr. Abraham Erskine sees the goodness and courage in Steve's heart, and enlists him in a top-secret experiment to create a super-soldier. Within minutes, Steve has superhuman strength, speed and big shiny muscles. HOORAY!
Unfortunately, the army seems more interested in using the superpowered Captain America as a mascot than a fighter. Are you really surprised? This is the GOVERNMENT we're talking about.
When Steve learns that his best buddy has been captured by the Nazis, he singlehandedly invades an enemy base and rescues dozens of soldiers. But this brings him to the attention of the Nazi super-science division Hydra, and its malevolent leader Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) -- who is the only other man as strong as Captain America.
This summer has had a lot of comic book movies -- some were horribly disappointing ("Green Lantern," "Priest") and some were wonderful ("Thor"). I wasn't entirely sure which kind of movie "Captain America: The First Avenger" would be, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well-written and solidly-plotted it was.Read more ›
Of course things change and the rest of the story shouldn't be too hard to figure out, even if you don't read comics. Now the very end utilizes the one-eyed Samuel L. Jackson from Iron Man 2 which hints at an ultimate sequel providing everyone isn't dead by then.
The movie combines action, drama, light comedy, and light romance. Good acting, good dialouge, good frickin' laser beams.
No swearing, nudity, or sex.
First, the costume. While it's not much of a detriment to the movie, I don't see why making changes to iconic costumes are done at all. What's worse is that they insulted the original design by turning into a cheap, ill-fitting USO costume with puffy plush wings on the temples. Clearly the filmmakers were going out of their way to make the original costume look silly when they could have easily made it "real" and cool without changing it. Cap's shirt is supposed to be chainmail, not spandex. I suspect the real reason for all these changes is to avoid any legal entanglements with Jack Kirby's heirs (that's why it was done with all the Marvel heroes in the mid-80s Secret Wars comics).
Second, the origin. It's fairly faithful (definitely more than Thor was), except that instead of Rogers just being skinny, he's now also diminutive in stature. But it's a small point to make (again, pun intended) and the special effects done to Chris Evans were definitely effective. Tony Stark's father being involved in the experiment was another unnecessary addition, but again it doesn't detract from the scene too much. Also, Spider-Man is the one who had the showbiz career before he became a heroic crime-fighter, not Cap. Why the USO subplot was inserted into the film, I don't know. Just as I don't know why Spidey becoming a successful performer is always left out of his movies. It's pretty messed up.
Third, and most importantly, the heroes' use of lethal force. This is the worst offender of modern super-hero films and they are all guilty of it.Read more ›
If you like nice guys and sincere super heroes with great special effects and an engaging story, you'll like these movies.

Beautiful grounds and view
Way over priced for the condition of the rooms. Should have been extremely pampered for the priced we paid.
Hiking trails, breakfast, service
Room was dated and small for the price
Room, and beds were big and comfortable.
Air conditioner was noisy.
Bathroom small and cold
No TV at room, and very poor wifi
Aesthetics of outside shabby and ugly
Parking lot quite muddy, good news now for CA
Outrageous price. I guess it's Big Sur!
The rooms were great, staff was super courteous and helpful, love the feel and look of the place overall. Hope to be back often. They helped make our wedding incredible.
Now this is nitpicking, but there was a few Rollie Pollies in our room...I know we are out in rural country so critters and bugs are inevitable.
Additionally, there were some inconsistencies and issues with room rates and reservations prior to arrival.
Nice secluded affordable hotel in the valley. Clean, spacious rooms with nice decks. Not sure why others gave poor reviews?!! Nice breakfast with fresh fruits and cereals.
Stayed in room 15, view was great and it was very quiet and spacious. Pool and hot tub were nice too.
Bathroom was pretty rundown, old fixtures and holes in the wall. Shower pressure was terrible and the shower head was fixed so low that my husband had to bend down to wash his hair. Comical but not very convenient.
Friendly staff, clean facilities, beautiful views, quaint and cute inn.
No hot tub
Nothing. It was overpriced.
The room was furnished with old and outdated furniture. The building was falling apart. you can hear every footstep from outside and every conversation in the room next door.
The staff was extremely accommodating. We loved the old style of the rooms and thought it was great to have our own kitchenette and private patio.
We know that the valley is known for creepy crawlers and we saw quite a few of them.
The room was very spacious and clean.
The heater made so much noise. It even woke us up during the night.

Vince Gilligan isn't done with Breaking Bad. Even as the hit drama prepares for its final run of episodes launching in August, the Bad man is already looking ahead at one way to keep that universe alive: through a Saul Goodman spinoff.
"It's still in its very early days," Gilligan tells Yahoo about the idea. "We're trying to figure out what kind of story we want to tell as it relates to Saul. But any story that at some point or another showed Saul at his peak, his abilities and his networking skills, would, I think, show the criminal underbelly of a fictional Albuquerque that really had Saul Goodman wired into pretty much the heart of it."
Gilligan goes on to say that Saul is connected to all of "the major players" in town, and "has a hand in the business every which way he can." Further, Saul isn't even Saul's real name.
"Saul Goodman, as he explains in his first episode, is not his real name. He is a self-created character, much like Heisenberg," says Gilligan. "Do we tell the story of his origins? We're still trying to hash that out. But there are a lot of fun possibilities."
As long as it's called Better Call Saul, we're in.
After recent statements from AMC about TWD and now this …
… got milk?
I know some people have expressed disgust that they would make a spin-off of Breaking Bad, and, maybe I would too, except that Saul is such an interesting character, especially how he's been played by Bob Odenkirk. He is the epitome of the shyster lawyer, but is also really funny and interesting to listen to, while also often being the voice of reason in the show.
Why? What did they say?
I have no words. This is a terrible idea. I like Saul, but he is in no way deserving a spin-off. He was mostly comic relief for god's sake. This is gonna be the "Joey" of Breaking Bad, if it ever happens .

Electrical problem
1992 Pontiac Lemans 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 107xxx miles
Hi there, I have a 1992 Pontiac lemans SE and like a week ago we were driving it and it kept cutting out. So we pulled over and it died, we then attempted to start it again and it wouldn't crank over.
We have now replaced the ignition coil, the plug wires, the sensor in the distributor and the distributor itself, and still no spark.
Any suggestions? I start a new job next week and really need my car back.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Brazilian Felipe Giaffone crashed in
practice Tuesday for the Indianapolis 500, but was not injured.
Giaffone lost control of his car coming out of the third turn,
hit the outside wall in the short chute and skidded against the
wall in turn four before stopping in the front straightaway.
The 29-year-old Giaffone was hired by Dreyer & Reinbold Racing
to drive the No. 24 car after Robbie Buhl retired following the IRL
race last month in Japan.
Giaffone was the IRL's rookie of the year in 2001 and won at
Kentucky in 2002.
Also on Tuesday, rookie Marty Roth's car spun 1½ times coming
out of the second turn and stopped on the inside of the track, but
he did not hit the wall. It was Roth's second spinout in two days.

The international oil shipping services provider, which paid Bretta Tanker Holdings $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, saw profits for the first half of 2016 slip 11.3 percent year-over-year to $153.7 million.
The Port of New York and New Jersey, which experienced the second busiest June ever for box volumes, was called by a 10,077-TEU containership at the GCT Bayonne Terminal.
The U.S. gross domestic product increased 1.2 percent in the second quarter of 2016, according to the "advance" estimate from the Department of Commerce, following a revised increase of just 0.8 percent in the first quarter.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
After a weak first quarter in 2016, east-west capacity rebounded slightly in advance of the traditional summer peak season, but overcapacity, decreased volumes and low rates continued to drive carriers into the ever-changing alliance game.
Captain John Loftus, who was fired in 2013 after working for Horizon Line for 20 years, has been awarded $655,000 in back wages, $225,000 in punitive damages, $10,000 for emotional distress, and more than $200,000 in legal costs.

In 1969, John Amoore, an English biochemist, published a book titled Molecular Basis of Odor.1 In it, the author proposed the mechanisms involved in odor detection, from the moment an odorant reaches the olfactory epithelium to the construction of the sensory perception by the brain. Amoore offered the following visualization: a long span of bridge along which he placed a number of the different branches of science related to olfactory perception. On one end of the bridge he placed the chemistry of the olfactive stimulus. He set the physiology of sensory perception on the opposite end. At different points along the bridge's length, Amoore placed a variety of other specialties, including volatile molecule analysis, molecular structure determination and biology. The author explained that the enormous spaces between these various points would be filled by scientific progress. Now, some 40 years later, one could say that the understanding of olfaction has nearly crossed this bridge. Yet the mechanism of primary olfactory reception, which is generally accepted by the international scientific community, remains a controversial point. The assumed model posits that an odorant is recognized by an olfactory receptor and represents one of the first steps across Amoore's bridge to olfactory perception.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Dated for May 18
Ubisoft also reveals a bit of info on the Wii version of the game.
Ubisoft's upcoming movie tie-in, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, picked up an official release date this morning. Fans will be able to wall-run their way through the game starting on May 18 -- just over a week before Jake Gyllenhaal takes to the big screen in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Forgotten Sands is expected to arrive simultaneously on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PSP, and DS next month, but Ubisoft emphasized the uniqueness of the Wii version in today's announcement. Developed by Ubisoft's Quebec City studio, the Wii release will apparently deliver a totally different experience from the game on other platforms, and not just because of the motion controls. The developers peg the Wii game at about 15 hours to complete, and they promise "a smooth, clear, and impressive graphical experience on Wii."
How good, exactly, will this thing look on Nintendo's console? Check out our newest screens of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on the Wii and decide for yourself.

I want a Prince of Persia ride at Disneyland.
Well...Posted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by Aldi79
If Disney can turn a mundane ride like Pirates of the Carribean into a movie trilogy grocing loads of dough lets hope they don't fail on PoP. Disney's still doing the movie right? Still cant get over the fact they chose Jake Gylenhal to be the Prince though.
Already?Posted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by wicked_witch
This title has generated almost no hype (from what I can tell). It might be a mistake releasing it so soon.
coolPosted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by LordScorpion
I'm kind of happy that they finaly decided to release a new prince of persia. Plus looking at the screen shot It looks like ubisoft is stiking with the same kind of gameplay that Sands of time had.
don't ruin...Posted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by OrangeFire
the ethos of the first Prince of Persia game. In other words, this game better rock and the movie better, uhm, not be like any other video game movie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
It kind of is a tie-in...Posted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by crossraine
They are releasing the movie and the game within 10 days of each other, hoping the buzz about one will generate interest in the other. It is a tie-in, it's just not the same story... since a tie-in are two different types of media being released around the same time from the same property (ie. Prince of Persia), not necessarily the same story.
Either way I saw the extended preview, and although Jake Ghyldnyldfnhal does look a little too pale to be Iranian/Persian, it's looks awesome. I already love this franchise, so I'm stoked about both.
Buying the game and seeing the movie are two things I will be doing in May
ummm....Posted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by halo2master
actually forgotten sands isnt a movie tie in, game informer ran a short article stating that it was part of the sands trilogy, a bridge between sands of time and warrior within.
slowly getting excited for thisPosted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by Shotgun_Octopus
Any word on how long the PS3/Xbox 360 versions are going to be? 15 hours for the Wii version is pretty long!

Tröegs Scratch 31(RETIRED)
RATINGS: 46 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.55/5 SEASONAL: Special IBU: 70 EST. CALORIES: 222 ABV: 7.4%
Scratch 31, the brothers and the brewers decided to revisit one of our favorite sweet spots IPA and have some fun with hop flavors. Dubbed Citra of Brotherly Love in honor of Philly Beer week, Scratch #31 has generous amounts of Apollo, Cascade and Citra hops. This is our first use of Citra hops, which is known for an intense grapefruit aroma and flavor.
While showcasing the intense Citra flavor we added additional bitterness with Apollo and Chinook hops as well. Scratch #31 went through a bed of Chinook hops in the hopback and was dry-hopped with Cascade and Citra hops.
Scratch #31 will be showcased at events throughout Philly Beer Week. Also, be on the lookout for Scratch #31 in firkins and pins, which were aged in new wine barrels for about a week before kegging.
