I got a laugh out of this one!http://youtu.be/bqnS9MpOlr8I watched this video hoping to see the wifi working as it is a really interesting feature, but you don't actually see it in action, but the video is a real laugh.The discription is a good start:The part about being able to see the image upside down to see if the composition is good.....Also pretending that you can actually see something useful on an ipad out in direct light.....Not to mention very limited battery life in cold temperatures, as well as the thing just packing up till it's warmed up again.I think the only real analogy with using an 8x10 and an ipad/MFDB is that you need to go under a black cape to see the imageusefully.Even in the video that is partly overcast you can barely see the image on the ipad.You've got to love these marketing videos.... His pictures are beautiful though...
Troll post #931.Don't feed the beast.Time to use the other forums for MF photography discussion that aren't drowning in this continuous stream of verbal diarrhea from the OP.
I know it's all a load of crap, but why do the US crap-specialists write diarrhea where the civilized world has it as diarrhoea? I understand it's only a little oh, but these things make a big difference, as anyone once inflicted with the problem will readily understand.I had imagined that the use of ancient Latin/Greek was supposed to eliminate confusion, but I suppose that confusion between said condition and gastric flue is too esoteric to admit investigation, never mind the misuse of the dead(ish) lingos.What a quandry for me to face so early in the morning; I think I shall reconfigure my daily schedule: get up in the evening and go to bed at mid-day. I could become an astro-photographic-specialist or even a stalker of locked cemeteries. But at any rate, I would then be able to face LuLa on a full stomach!Rob C
One is correct in British English and the other is correct in American English. So, both are correct in English.
No. Only one is correct in English, any other parochial affectation/deviation is not proper English and merely an abuse of borrowed language.
You have it all wrong! American English is a modern, improved, and updated version of British English. http://www.online-literature.com/donne/3276/ is a piece that Mark Twain wrote explaining the differences.
With respect, what would he have known?;-)Rob C
Actually, quite a lot at the time. Twain lived in Europe for many years.
We all have Webster to thank for this difference in the two types of English. Shortly after the Revolutionary War (or the War for American Independence, as you Brits call it) Daniel Webster felt for us to be truly free from England's rule, we needed to create our own language. Knowing that it would be impossible for us to completely change languages, he removed a lot of the "useless" letters in the spelling of words, for instance the "u" in colour to make into color. He also reversed the french influence of "re" to "er," like theatre to theater. There are also a bunch of little things too, like replacing "i" sounding Ys to Is (tyre becomes tire). Most people of the time thought Webster as being nuts, but he was very good at selling his idea to schools and libraries. So a generation later American English took hold.
And his opinion on proper English and Americanised English is no longer relevant, it's more a historical comment on the English class system of that time.
Time to use the other forums for MF photography discussion that aren't drowning in this continuous stream of verbal diarrhea from the OP.
How sad, though, to feel obliged to destroy a language in order to mark a feeling of self.
I think that the deliberate marginalisation and destruction of indigenous languages by colonisers (like the English) was a far greater sin than any tweaking of the colonisers' language by the colonised people. You may be saddened by Webster's reformulation of American-English spelling...I am more saddened that by 1900, almost no-one in Ireland could speak Irish (Gaelic)...the culmination of a process of cultural and economic attrition which began with the Plantations and the Penal Laws imposed from London in the 17th century.When you think about it - "to destroy a language in order to mark a feeling of self" - was that not exactly what the British authorities were repeatedly doing as well, as they built their "empire on which the sun never sets"? Linguistic hegemony was central to their sense of imperial self-justification. If one could get the wogs, fuzzy-wuzzies, chinks, pakis, abos, micks and coons to speak the King's/Queen's English, instead of their own barbaric tongue, one was just doing them a favour, right?Not blaming you Rob, or any other present-day British people, for any of this of course...it's ancient history and attitudes are completely different now. It just needs to be remembered.And now, back to photography!Ray
"Not blaming you Rob, or any other present-day British people, for any of this of course...it's ancient history and attitudes are completely different now. It just needs to be remembered"what also needs to be remembered is the Dutch, Belgian, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (plus others) empire building too, theres no point having a selective memory when looking back at history.

When I opened the bag, it took me back to those simpler times of the excitement of these pink, green, and yellow mints with the white candy balls. Yummy!

I would like any feedback on these baits?
construction looks good, but can't really tell they are very blurred. Maybe try backing off on the camera a little???? Rod
i am just getting started and i think the lures look really good, great job!!! how long have you been painting lures? do you use a template on the red gill?? if you don't mind me saying something about the "blurred" photo ? if you are using a digital camera you need to switch your camera to "macro" and then zoom in and hold the camera shutter buttion 1/2 way down, this allows the camera to focus on the object and will take an actual size photo. i hope this will help you an the photo's as for the lures they are great. i hope i can get as good as you are on the lures. i am a rookie at the lures. Richard
I would like to enroll in Dweller University, in the painting department. How do I enroll and how much does it cost.
Do You make a spreader so that you can fish 3 baits at one time? You know like a whole school of bait fish swimming together in the river.

Fredonia (7-0) begins its quest for a Section 6 Class C football title tonight at the Orange Bowl against the Tonawanda Warriors (3-4).
"I've seen a few films on them," Fredonia head coach Mike Marshall said. "They have a passing attack and a running attack. They have a wide receiver that they put at many positions and he seems to catch anything they throw at him. And they have a running back that seems to get through the line and seems pretty quick."
The receiver Marshall was talking about is Brandon Frye, a 5-foot-11-inch junior while the running back is 5-9 senior Tim Barnard.

OBSERVER?File Photo
Fredonia's Mike McCarthy and the rest of the Hillbillies will take on Tonawanda tonight at the?Orange Bowl in the first round of the Section 6 Class C high school football playoffs.
"The way they put (Frye) in different positions, we're going to have to pay attention to (him)," Marshall said. "Their passing attack is pretty well-balanced, along with their running attack."
Aside from a 28-21 win over Southwestern earlier in the season, the Hillbillies have yet to be tested, thanks in large part to a balanced offense of their own, which has been led by junior running back Matt McCarthy and senior quarterback Weston Ley. And with weather and field conditions not looking to be the best tonight at the Orange Bowl, Marshall will look to those two, as he has all season, to help lead the way to the team's eighth, and most important win, of the season.
"It could be a grind-it-up-the-middle kind of game if we have to," Marshall said. "And with field conditions like I'm anticipating, having McCarthy and Ley back there is a pretty good tandem to have."
Unlike 2011, when Dunkirk made Karl Hoeppner Field and its brand new turf field available to Fredonia, the Hillbillies and the Warriors will have to deal with a field that is as wet as it will be muddy.
Marshall wasn't too disappointed however, as he likes the idea of his team defending its own home field.
"One of the advantages we do have is playing at home," Marshall said. "It's been (the players') field since they were (playing in midgets) and I do believe that will play to our advantage. We played one game on turf, the rest were on grass.
"The weather and the field conditions are going to play a roll in the outcome of the game," Marshall added. "Playing in the Orange Bowl is always a challenge in this kind of weather. It's kind of a clay field, so it gets kind of slippery. We're going to have to be sure-footed to be successful."
Over the last half of the season, the Hillbillies have worked on their passing game, but Marshall knows the condition of the field could impede Ley's ability to connect with his receivers.
"You have to be worried about the way we cut and the way we pass in this kind of weather," Marshall said. "But I think we'll be able to do some modifying to our offense and move the ball like we have in the past.
"So far this season, we've been lucky enough not to have too many turnovers," Marshall added. "We're going to have to play mistake-free football if we want to go on."

When I think about the fact that this past summer was the first time I had seen my brother in two years — two years! — I can hardly believe it. It's not like we live on opposite sides of the planet, although one could argue the distance from Toronto to Halifax is nothing to sniff at. As much as it bothered me not to see him, it really bothered me that my kids hadn't seen their first cousins in that long either.
Jen Gouthro
They all got along fantastically well but all kids do at that age. I want them to really know each other when they get older. That two years passed and their only interactions involved making funny faces over Facetime makes me feel incredibly guilty.
To view previous columns, CLICK HERE.
At some point I had decided that we would travel home to Cape Breton every second summer, for two reasons: 1. Four flights cost a pretty penny and 2. There may be some summers we want to staycation or travel somewhere else.
I would love to take the kids out west some summer and let them watch potbelly pig races at the Calgary Stampede and then take them to Banff and Lake Louise to see the majesty of the Canadian Rockies. We plan on moving next year so we will likely use our vacation time to set up shop in our new neighbourhood. So this plan of travelling out east every other year makes perfect sense from a financial and future planning perspective but does nothing to assuage my guilt when I chat with others who make coming home every summer (and sometimes Christmas too) their priority.
When I was home this summer I ran into a high school classmate who said he and his family make it home every two-three years from out west. I agreed this was a reasonable plan. Flights are ridiculously expensive and the airlines really have us where they want us. Wouldn't it be nice if there was some competition and domestic flights became more affordable? That would be wonderful. Talking to him made me feel like our "every other year" plan was perfectly reasonable.
Then I ran into another old friend. She and her family come home to Cape Breton every summer AND every Christmas. Wow, really? That's awesome! In the moment I really did feel happy for her. But later I started to feel that potent mix of guilt and jealousy. If they can come home twice a year, I really should manage a trip home once a year. If not Christmas and summer, then maybe Easter or Thanksgiving! I could cut my spending and put every spare penny in a travel fund. Or maybe we can just start driving home from Toronto ... that would be cheaper right? Surely we can make it home once a year.
Later my mother told me about a friend of hers whose daughter comes home with her family at least once a year, if not twice. From ASIA. I knew she wasn't intentionally trying to guilt me. I was happy for her friend, plus she got to go visit her grandchildren in Asia, which feels so much more exciting than Toronto.
I haven't decided whether I'll change my every-two-years-plan. But I have realized that making sensible plans does nothing for my sense of longing to see family as often as I can, in the place I want to be.
Jen Gouthro, a Dominion native, moved away from Cape Breton more than 20 years ago. She has lived in Antigonish, Banff, Maine and Windsor, Ont. and currently resides in Toronto. She can be reached at email@example.com.

Nationwide Open House is this weekend
by HEIDI HANSEN
for the Sequim Association of Realtors®
"Right now is a fantastic time to buy, whether you are a first-time homebuyer, investor or looking for a second home. Rates are at historic lows and there are many financing options for clients. In addition to the standard loan types, there are now programs specifically targeting purchases of bank owned properties" says Aimee Dennis, branch manager with Cobalt Mortgage.
According to the National Association of Realtors:
• 45 percent of all buyers in 2012 used an open house as a source in their home search process.
• Repeat buyers are more likely than first-time homebuyers to attend open house events.
• 39 percent of the home sales in 2012 were to first-time homebuyers, up slightly from 2011 and more in line with the norm of 40 percent.
• 78 percent of vacation home and investment buyers reported that now is a good time to purchase real estate.
• 47 percent of investment buyers are more likely to buy another investment property and 31 percent will buy another property within the next two years.
• 37 percent of vacation homebuyers are likely to purchase another vacation property and 30 percent are likely to do so within the next two years.
• 87 percent of home purchases in 2012 were financed.
Confidence rising?
Teri Ward, vice president of the mortgage department at First Federal, advises, "Homeowners have renewed confidence as they see homes starting to sell in less time and often with multiple offers. Construction inquiries are increasing as are requests for land loans, both of which First Federal offers. This is encouraging news."
About half of homebuyers report that they have made some sacrifice, such as reducing spending on luxury items, entertainment and clothing, according to NAR. Twenty-three percent of buyers who financed their home purchase reported the approval process was somewhat more difficult than expected and 17 percent reported it was much more difficult than expected.
NAR also reported that sellers sold their homes at 95 percent of their listed price and 60 percent reported that they had reduced the asking price at least once. Locally, we are seeing current sales at 95 percent of the asking price as well.
"Most forecasters are predicting that mortgage rates will rise in 2013," Al Krubbe, president of Peninsula Mortgage said. "While that same forecast for higher rates has been made at the end of the last two years, only to turn out wrong, I think that 2013 may be the year that forecasters are correct. Mortgage rates are already at all-time lows, so it's hard to see them dropping further. The Federal Reserve is doing all it can to keep mortgage rates low by buying $85 billion a month in treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, so any rise in rates will be muted by their efforts," Krubbe said.
"I see mortgage rates staying close to where they are now for the first half of 2013 and rising slightly through the remainder of 2013. With that in mind now is the best time to purchase or refinance your home if you haven't already done so.
"Interest rates for a purchase of a primary residence or vacation home are presently in the mid-3 percent range. For investment properties, homes purchased to rent out, the rate is in the high 3 percent range."
Seeking Sequim
The Sequim area has long been sought as a vacation home location with buyers coming from Seattle and Canada as well as from all over. Investment buyers look for rental properties that "pencil out" — that is, the rental income will more than cover the costs associated with the purchase price.
For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sales as reported by NAR represented 9 percent of the residential sales. Of those, 33 percent of the sellers knew the buyers prior to the home purchase.
Eighty-eight percent of sellers were assisted by a real estate agent in the purchase of their home in 2012.
Whether you are looking for a vacation home, an investment property or your personal home and whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a buyer looking to move up or downsize, we hope that you will browse through the ads for the open houses this weekend, April 20-21, and come out and see us this weekend.
You will have questions and we will get you the answers.

Michigan's only U.S. president said with typical self-deprecation that he was "a Ford, not a Lincoln."
But the Kent County stretch of the I-196 highway that now bears Gerald R. Ford's name is host to those two auto brands and many others every day.
Another president -- Dave Custer, president of Custer Workplace Interiors in downtown Grand Rapids -- drives on that road daily to and from work and has become a tireless promoter of using the Ford name rather than I-196.
The part of I-196 in Kent, Ottawa and Allegan counties was named after Ford a while ago, but the name hasn't really caught on with the general public.
"When you go to Detroit, you take the Lodge or the Edsel Ford Freeway. In Chicago, you take the Dan Ryan, the Kennedy or Stevenson," Custer said. "Who even knows the proper number for the Dan Ryan? Is it I-80, or I-90 or I-94?
"Besides honoring our former President, calling it the Ford Freeway clears up confusion between I-196 and I-96," he said. "In the past, I have heard traffic reporters mention a 'back up' at the College or Fuller exchange on I-96. There is not an exit for College or Fuller on I-96 -- they cross I-196. The numbers are too similar.
"I can't tell you how many times I hear people confused about these two roads."
Custer's solution?
"It all starts with the media. If we can get the media to do it, more and more people do it... It just makes things clearer."
That's why Custer wrote to me in March, after his letter on the subject was published in the Public Pulse.
Grand Rapids Mayor "George Heartwell says that he has eliminated I-196 from his vocabulary," Custer wrote. Kent County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman "Sandi Frost Parrish is in agreement of this as well."
Custer says he has convinced one local radio company, Citadel Broadcasting, to refer to the Ford Freeway instead of I-196 in its traffic updates. He's working on a second radio company, Clear Channel, to do the same, he said.
When he hears the Ford Freeway name used on local radio stations, he is quick to email the enlightened user with his congratulations.
"I haven't had as much luck yet with the local television stations," Custer said.
His plea to me was based on practicality.
"By asking your reporters to use the proper name, we can eliminate confusion between I-196 and I-96, let alone give our former President his proper due," Custer wrote.
A letter he sent to Press Publisher Danny R. Gaydou said: "Everyone I speak to about this thinks that it is a good idea. ... Thanks for your consideration."
During the same week that saw a new Gerald Ford bronze statue unveiled in the U.S. Capitol building's rotunda, it seemed an appropriate time for The Press to climb aboard Custer's bandwagon.
So we decided last week that our reporters, editors should refer to I-196 as the Gerald R. Ford Freeway on first reference and Ford Freeway in subsequent references. (In the case of headlines, we'll try to squeeze in Ford Freeway or "The Ford," but may have to use I-196 in order to make the headline fit!)
"I'm glad that The Press is going to try to help promote the proper name for I-196," Custer told me.
In addition to minimizing confusion with the nearby I-96 highway, using the Ford name is the right thing to do for Jerry Ford.
"I think we need to honor him," Custer said. "He deserves the honor."
And Custer deserves a little credit, too.
Although he was acquainted with Ford, he did not know him particularly well.
"I really respect the man," Custer said. "I just think (Ford Freeway) sounds cool."
Given that Ford helped put Grand Rapids on the political map, the least the community can do is remember his contributions, Custer said.
"How can anybody dispute this?"
And this isn't Custer's last stand.
"Once we all get into this routine, then we can attack M-6 -- the Paul B. Henry Freeway."

Raymond Kates, 55 at the time, had been accused of assaulting city police officers following a high-speed car chase in 2007. However, he was acquitted on Aug. 12, 2010, of aggravated assault on a police officer and resisting arrest by force.
Instead, the jury convicted Kates of second-degree eluding and resisting arrest by flight.
The prosecution requested that the court sentence Kates as a "persistent offender," citing what they called an extensive criminal history. Superior Court Judge Benjamin Telsey agreed, handing down a 15-year sentence as opposed to the standard range of five to 10 years in prison.
However, on the day the trial was scheduled to begin, Kates' lead attorney, public defender Jeffery Klavens, disclosed that there was a possibility that he would be deployed overseas during the trial. Klavens' assistant in the case, Dionne Stanfield, was to take over from there.
Kates objected to the switch, stating he did not trust in Stanfield's knowledge of the case, and requested that the trial be put on hold while he could secure a private attorney.
The judge rejected Kates' request, and jury selection began later that morning.
The New Jersey Appellate Court decided this was a violation of Kates' constitutional rights.
"It is not enough to repeat simply 'your request is denied,'" read the decision, in part. "Moreover, the court's confidence in the assigned counsel's competence was no substitute for the exercise of defendant's rights."
Kates will have a new trial, which has yet to be scheduled.
Kates, who resided on Theorosa Road, led police on a 10-minute, 6.5-mile chase through Bridgeton and Fairfield Township during the early morning hours of May 2, 2007, at speeds reaching 90 mph, according to witness testimony.
Police had been looking for a man with a "shipment" of firearms, based on a tip, when they encountered Kates in his truck.
Officers stated they initially believed Kates to be the "gun runner."
However, that was not the case, and no firearms were found on Kates, nor were any discovered in his vehicle.
Kates had been accused of assault on police officers after the vehicle chase ended, near Cherry Street School. However, he was found not guilty of fighting back against Bridgeton Officer Christopher Blackburn during the arrest.
Kates himself suffered a swollen eye and several cuts to his arms — from the K-9 officer that took him down as he attempted to flee his vehicle — during the arrest.
Police in 2007 alleged Kates struck Blackburn with his still-moving pickup truck, which Kates reportedly left in gear when he jumped out of it in an attempt to flee officers.
Blackburn had been on medical leave for three months following the incident, according to testimony.
Immediately following his arrest, Kates was also charged with assaulting the police dog — punching, kicking and strangling K-9 Argos as the dog was attempting to restrain the accused by biting his left arm.
However, prosecutors opted not to pursue charges in connection to the reported assault on the canine.
According to police sources, the canine suffered a seizure, and was unable to walk immediately following the chase and ensuing struggle. Argos has since been retired from the police department.

Post-Standard basketball writer Mike Waters answers readers' questions about the Orange, the Big East, all of college basketball and just about anything else. To submit a question, email Mike at firstname.lastname@example.com
How about digging up the preseason article where you and the other P-S writers predicted SU's season record and NCAA run. Seems to me you and the others have been pretty close over the years.
— Lee
Mike: Preseason predictions? Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.
OK, honestly, I know exactly what you're talking about although I'd like to forget most of my preseason predictions. Personally, I'm still living off my preseason prediction that Butler would make the Final Four in 2010.
Between myself, Donna Ditota, Bud Poliquin and our fine basketball photographer Dennis Nett, Donna has proved to be this year's Nostradamus.
I had Syracuse with a final record of 29-7. Actually, that's not too bad since the Orange is 29-9 going into Saturday's game against Marquette. I had Syracuse losing in the Big East semifinals (wrong) and advancing only as far as the Sweet 16 (close). My Final Four consisted of Indiana, Kentucky, Creighton and Michigan. I've got only Michigan left.
I did have Georgetown's Otto Porter as the Big East Player of the Year, so there's that.
Bud had SU going 31-7. He might get to the victory total, but he's a little off in the loss column. He had the Orange making it to the Elite Eight. He also had Porter.
But his Final Four was Kentucky, Indiana, Duke and Florida with Kentucky winning it all.
Nett had Syracuse going 30-6. He had Syracuse in the Sweet 16. Unbelievably, Dennis' entire Final Four was alive going into Friday's games — Louisville, Michigan, Ohio State and Kansas. His national champ is Michigan.
But Donna? Well, she had SU going 28-10, which is pretty close to the mark. She had the Orange getting to the Big East final and the NCAA's Elite 8.
Her Final Four included Indiana, North Carolina State, Kansas and Memphis.
So none of us had Syracuse in the Final Four. I wonder if anybody did prior to the start of the season.
I know memories are short and a lot of folks either forgot or never knew that SU hasn't always played zone exclusively. It's obvious that SU's zone has gotten consistently better over the years. So, do you feel that the zone will/has reached a point where it will become a recruiting tool in favor of the Orange?
— Shawn
Mike: I don't think any recruits are really drawn to a school because of the defense it plays. Maybe a high school kid might like to be part of a full-court pressing team.
It's possible that some coaches might use the zone as a negative recruiting tool against Syracuse. I could see a coach telling a recruit that if he goes to Syracuse it will hurt his chances of playing in the NBA. But the NBA plays more zone now, so that's not a strong argument.
I just think most high school players care mainly about a team's offensive style of play. Most kids want to run, so up-tempo offenses are attractive. A big man wants to go to a school that utilizes its post players. A shooter might not fit in some systems. A kid who really excels as an on-the-ball defender might not come to Syracuse.
Veteran official Jim Burr hasn't had any NCAA Tournament games this year and I see he's doing NIT games. I think he did the same last year. Is there any reason for that? Wouldn't a ref rather do a NCAA tournament game?
— Mike
Mike: While referees work with difference conferences during the season, the NCAA assigns officials to games during the postseason tournament. The NCAA monitors officials throughout the season and grades them.
My only guess is that Burr didn't grade out high enough to receive any NCAA Tournament assignments.

Toby's Diary
Cats' Amazing HearingOctober 10th 2012 10:36 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]
In the summer I liked to run outside straight after my breakfast but now it's dark I prefer to wait until my mum has had her breakfast and it's more light. Mum says that I am a cat and can see in the dark but I notice she doesn't go pottering about in the garden in the dark either.
Leave A Comment | 3 people already have
Here a tip for your mum even male cats have selective hearing. When we want something we hear you. When we don't want to do something we don't hear you.
I am not allowed to go outside in the morning any more. Because I kept staying out longer and longer. And just like you, I didn't hear Mom call and she was late for work twice. What's more important? Work or a cat having an amazing day?
Selective hearing, I have that sometimes myself.

I am loyal to my country. I have played chess on and off for 14 years. I am a Christian and love God more than anything else and pray that many around the world will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. 1 Chronicles 28:9
Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day."

Stopping Noel Devine will be one of the key tasks for LSU's defense in its matchup against West Virginia on Saturday.
The senior tailback has rushed for 383 yards and two touchdowns in three games. His average of 118 yards-per-game ranks 15th in the nation.
LSU tailback Stevan Ridley has similar numbers this season, with 318 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. His average of 106 yards-per-game ranks 22nd nationally.
West Virginia's 26th-ranked passing attack is led by sophomore quarterback Geno Smith, who has thrown for 800 yards and seven touchdowns. The Mountaineers average 266.67 passing yards a game.
Devine and Smith have both been named the Big East Offensive Player of the Week this season.
LSU's Jordan Jefferson has 344 yards and two passing touchdowns. Jefferson is a more mobile quarterback than Smith, and has 68 rushing yards along with a rushing touchdown.
The Tigers have struggled to put the ball in the air, and have averaged for 120 yards a game, 115th in nation out of 120 teams.
LSU and West Virginia have both had success stopping the run this season. West Virginia has allowed 62.67 rushing yards a game (eighth in the nation) and LSU has allowed 82.33 yards a game (16th).
Last weekend, Maryland rushed for minus 10 yards against the Mountaineers.
The statistics of LSU's pass defense are a bit misleading. Although they rank 62nd in pass defense, 412 of the 598 passing yards allowed this season came from the season opener against North Carolina.
Vanderbilt passed for only 70 yards and Mississippi State passed for 116 yards against the Tigers. The Tigers harassed Mississippi State quarterbacks Tyler Russell and Chris Relf, picking the Bulldogs off five times.

Review: Jose Marti Cuba Libre (cigar cigars)
Well, somebody called me on my last review, and I got busted for not doing
my homework, having referred to a cigar by size and shape, and then calling
it maduro-wrapped. The guy that called me on it thought that perhaps there
had been some new stick that the manufacturer hadn't announced before,; he
couldn't find that size in a maduro wrapper. Well, it *looked* maduro to
me - it was dark, and tasted maduro, so I went with it. Shoulda done my
So last night I grab another Mickey-stick, a Jose Marti Cuba Libre. I start
looking around, and can't find anything on this particular cigar. Maybe I'm
not looking in the right places, or maybe Mickey has presented me with
something not even available anymore. Either way, I'm now frustrated
because I know I'll probably never find another one...
The cigar was 5.5x46, and *appeared* to be a russet-colored maduro.
Construction was solid, and the wrapper was smooth, with a nice sheen.
Clipping was a bit stiff, but very crisp and clean. Pre-light gave a nice
mild earthiness. First light gave that same mild earthiness, and was very
What research I did accomplish showed that most Jose Marti cigars used
Ecuadorian and Sumatran wrapper, and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler/binder.
This came through after the first 1/2-inch, with a sweet woodiness that I
associate with Hon/Nic smokes. It rode slightly higher than the earthier
flavor, but both mixed in a nice harmony, for the first 2/3 of the cigar.
With 2/3 of the cigar left, I ran into the first burn problem. Not a major
problem, but it did need a minor correction. From that point on, a
spiciness took over the other flavors, and stayed to the end.
I nubbed the cigar at 1 inch, and enjoyed the spicy finish for the next
hour - much more finish than I had expected.
This was a very interesting cigar, considering the way the flavors changed
and mixed. I might have enjoyed it without the spicy finish, but it
certainly was not a negative point.
Once again, thanks to Mickey, and with any luck, I'll find more of these.

Review: Jose Marti Cuba Libre
Jose Marti is available at least at JR. The Cuba Libre means nothing (as far
as identification), just as Gran Reserva doesn't signify anything on a
Fuente. They come in a Nicaraguan and a Dominican version. That size is
around the Corona dominican bundle size, or the Nic remedios (5.5X44) Thanks
for the review!

Review: Jose Marti Cuba Libre (humidor)
Sorry to hit you again, but it's not maduro, it's EMS. <G>
According to my receipt, it's a Jose Marti Remedios, 5.50 x 44, with an EMS
wrapper, and it's been in my humidor since 8/03. You were only off 2/64 (or
1/32) on the RG, though. You're getting a pretty good eye for ring gauge.
I'm glad you liked it, though. Pretty nice for a quick smoke!

FLINT TWP., MI — Given what the Michigan Warriors have gone through this season, gearing up for a playoff run seems simple.
Despite a handful of injuries, a mid-season losing streak that reached 10 straight and losses in 14 out of 15 games, along with a drawn out ownership negotiation and distractions that came with it, the Warriors (23-32) are in the North American Hockey League playoffs and looking to make another run to the Robinson Cup.
"There's an old saying, water usually finds its level," assistant coach John Hamre said prior to practice Wednesday at Iceland Arena. "Through the course of the season I think we've experienced some ups and downs that we've learned from. This team has been a pretty streaky team throughout the year and we've worked on finding consistency with our effort."
The Warriors won their final two games of the regular season — over Kalamazoo and Port Huron — to clinch the fourth and final spot in the NAHL North Division playoffs. They'll face either Kalamazoo or Port Huron again in the first round of playoff action.
Leading the charge for the Warriors down the stretch is a strong core of veteran players returning from last year's team that reached the final game of the Robinson Cup finals. That experience will be paramount if the Warriors are looking to make a similar run this year.
"Last year we had a very good run and the experience we went through as a team was really valuable," said Robert Mantha, a returning player and nephew of head coach Moe Mantha, who tallied 21 points this season. "Everybody bonded, we were playing together and all playing for one goal and this year us veterans are trying to pass that same mentality down to the younger guys."
In essence, the Warriors have already been competing with a playoff mentality for over a month, needing every win they got to hold off Jamestown for the final playoff spot.
"The level of play has risen for this team, no question," forward Martin Gruse said. "We've had to battle every single game since the end of February and start of March just to get our playoff spot, so we're going to be ready going in. What we went through earlier in the year, with all those losses, was pretty devastating, but we battled through it and I think that made us stronger."
Gruse, also a returning player from last year's team, has been a consistent source of offense for the Warriors. He's accounted for 34 points (16 goals and 18 assists) while AJ White (28 goals, 22 assists) and Joey Ferris (14 goals, 27 assists) have led the team in offensive production.
The Warriors closed out the regular season with a 4-3 win over Port Huron. Port Huron currently is in first place in the North Division and could end up being the Warriors first round opponent.
"Getting a win over a first place team is huge alone, but add in that we could see them in the first round, I think that win was big for our confidence," forward Bobby Bodette said. "We've been playing playoff hockey already so I think having that mindset for an extra two weeks or so is a big advantage for us."
The immediate challenge for the Warriors is keeping the momentum they've built and staying focused during what's going to be a long layoff between games.
With Kalamazoo and Port Huron still needing to finish a home-and-home series to finalize the playoff seeding, the Warriors won't take the ice again until next weekend, at least 13 days after their final game of the regular season.
"With a lot of veterans that have been through a lot of junior hockey games and were also a part of that significant playoff run last year, this weekend ends up becoming a real good weekend to rest," Hamre said. "These guys have already played 60 games over the course of the season, so we see the time off as a rest factor and something that's positive."
Regardless of which team the Warriors face in the opening round, they'll be underdogs to get out of the North Division and even more so to advance further in the NAHL playoffs. It's a role, however, the team is perfectly comfortable with.
"I think the guys are very confident and believe in each other," Hamre said. "You see a wild card team in baseball win the World Series, you see lower seeds in all other sports all the time in the playoffs doing great things, so the key is to believe in each other and to make sure you're playing your best going into the playoff season."
Sounds simple enough. After all, the hard part is over.

They said Monday at the regular meeting that if it is turned down it would be "devastating" to the district because nearly $12 million in revenue from the non-homestead tax goes into the budget.
The problem, they said, is that because Portage Public Schools has not put the renewal up to voters since the tax was first implemented in 1994, many people don't understand it. Further, they said, the renewal is the last thing on the ballot in the Nov. 6 election.
"The tricky thing is this is something that floats along and we take it for granted," said board president Bo Snyder. "It would be devastating if it does not pass."
The non-homestead millage is not paid by owner-occupied or primary residence taxpayers, so it does not affect most residents in the school district. It is paid by business, industrial, commercial and rental properties and those who own second or vacation homes.
The tax generates $11.8 million a year for Portage schools, or about 16 percent of its budget. If it fails, school officials said, the district would have to find another source of revenue or cut programs and staff.
"We can't say enough about the importance of the renewal of the nonhomestead millage on the ballot Nov. 6, said board vice president Randy Van Antwerp. "It's on the last page of the ballot so I encourage people to keep looking for it. I will be voting yes on it to support Portage Public Schools and to support our kids."
Further facts and information about the millage renewal can be found in the latest "Inside PPS" that is available online at www.portageps.org.
The current levy expires in 2013, but the district decided to go with the renewal on the November ballot to save the district on election costs. The district is saving $30,000 by having the renewal as part of the Nov. 6 general election.
Trustee Rusty Rathburn said that as a resident he does not pay the nonhomestead tax. But as a business owner of Rathco Safety Supply he does.
"I fully support the 18 mills as a homestead and nonhomestead taxpayer," he said.
If approved, Portage school voters will not see the renewal again for 20 years. It would run from 2014-2033.

John Singelton's daughter Jessie to wed
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 23, 2011
JOHN Singleton is set to walk down the aisle again.
But the 70-year-old, who has said "I do" five times and had a number of significant others, will not be vowing to honour until death do part this time.
He will instead play the part of father of the bride when his eldest daughter Jessie marries early next year.
Jessie, 29, Singo's daughter to Belinda Green and the oldest of his six daughters, is tying the knot with South African Richard Black. The couple met on a beach in the south of France while both were working in Monaco.
Rumour has it that is where the couple will marry.
Black proposed this month via an elaborate, carefully organised proposal which the pair both laughed and cried through.
We are happy to report that Singo is not yet talking about wedding bells with his newest flame, New York socialite Erika Klauer.

The Big Ten Conference has taken a step closer to restoring order from the Leaders and Legends debacle. The league made realignment official yesterday, breaking the league into East and West divisions split by simple geography.
In typical Big Ten fashion, the new divisions are better, but imperfect.
The East is loaded with Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Penn State. Newcomers Maryland and Rutgers have had their moments in the ACC and Big East, respectively, and could be even better with a brand new recruiting base.
In the West, there's potential to ebb and flow and bring the Big Ten to a competitive balance, but too much has to happen for that to become the norm.
Nebraska offers hope as a perennial top 25 team, but hasn't played in a BCS game since 2002.
Wisconsin has played in three straight Rose Bowls, but lost them all and starts anew under first-year coach Gary Andersen.
Northwestern is on an exciting upswing, but still building toward becoming a consistent contender. Coach Pat Fitzgerald's program could continue its rise, but fans have to see it to believe it.
Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue all have work to do.
The league's two most consistently dominant programs -- Michigan and Ohio State -- are in the East, and there is only one doormat candidate -- Indiana -- in the entire division.
You also have a Michigan State program that continues to establish itself as a national force. Put the Spartans in the West and a case can be made they're the best team in the division.
Penn State is persevering though NCAA sanctions and still landing top talent on the recruiting front. When the dust settles in three years, the Nittany Lions could re-emerge as a national power.
In any given season, the East could lay claim to the top four football programs in the Big Ten.
Give Big Ten officials credit, though. They were wise enough to back away from Leaders and Legends, and they've left the door open to shake up the alignment again.
Chances are, they're going to have to.

UK: Christian Labour MP changes his mind and backs equal marriage
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I am glad when I read stories like this where a politician is undecided on this issue, has taken the time to listen to people and allowed his thoughts to change.
Gives me hope that not all politicians are dinosaurs and that a change of opinion is possible.
How very gracious of him – nothing to do with being whipped into supporting it of course.
Oh, blimey no!!
Perish the thought!!!.
I suspect there will be more of them who are on the fence but will evolve now that they've heard the hate and offensive vitriole coming from yesterday's hate rally. It's not just our rights that are affected, but the public at large. Those bigots if they have their way, want to impose religion on the rest of society, the majoirty of which aren't religious. They'd outlaw abortion if they could get away with it.
Wel done, Barry Sheerman, and thank you. You've proved that a person of faith can discern what is the right thing to do regardless of one's religious beliefs.
They wouldn't just stop at outlawing abortion. You only have to look at some of the anti-woman proposals being openly discussed amongst the Christofascists in the US to see what they really want. Not a lot of difference between their policies and those of the Taliban when it comes to women.
Just shows what a liitle polite education and awareness will do. Good on this man for changing his mind. I hope he talks to those around him who still think like he used to and persuades them that equal marriage is a good thing.
"Mr Sheerman added that his new-found support had been strengthened by Monday's anti-equal marriage fringe event at the Conservative Party Conference."
How I grinnned reading that! Yes, Carey and co., your vile bigotry has backfired on you, you offensive little man.
Thank you Widdecombe and Bish Carey.
Your poison is doing us just brilliantly.
And thank you Mr. Sheerman.
I want to thank Barry personally as it was me and my vie-president Jamie who had the meeting with him. I stated that we are trying to make a difference so that there is no difference!
Well done, Emma. There are lots of religious people, belonging to different faiths, who would love to have gay marriages celebrated on religious premises and my prayer is that that will happen too, despite the official position of the Church of England.
Well done, Emma.
Mr Sheerman: thank you.
So the offensive comments by Carey and Widdecombe do have consequences. Who knew.
I am very, very pleased to hear that there are sensible people who can think things through and dispassionately weigh them on their merits instead of blind prejudice and fear born out of ignorance.
I just can't say it enough: thank you Mr Sheerman.
Well done, all involved!!
"I saw Ann Widdecombe… I thought My God. I was right to change my mind"
Well played Widde
We're winning!
Many Christians are happy to see marriage equality introduced, there are worse things in the world to worry about than whether or not two men or two women who love each other can get married.
You're a big person for changing your mind. Thank you.

About Us
Hello, my name is Caroline Woolley and thank you for logging onto the All About Sheepdogs website. I hope you find it interesting. As an information source a website offers so much more than Facebook or Twitter.
If you would like to talk to me you can always contact by email -
email@example.com or call me on 07703 197823
There are four National Sheepdog Trials for 2015. These are held in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland during July and August with the International Trial in Parkgate, Dumfries, Scotland this year in September. This International Trial is held after the Nationals. Look at the Resources page for further detailed info about the Nationals.
We are often asked aobut providing a 'Fun Afternoon' as a Birthday or Christmas present. This is where you can find out your aptitude for working a dog with sheep and might discover that it is not as easy as it looks. Some of our trainers are engaged by large corporate companies as a management exercise for their senior staff. And with very interesting results! Our Trainer in South Devon - Victor Pitts - is especially happy to provide these and you can find out more by contaacting me on 01934 732661 or 07703 197823 or by email as above.Vic uses his own dogs for these events.
'Flockstars' is almost upon us! ITV have commisioned a game show involving 'celebrities' and Border colliesinorder to learn the art and craft of working a sheepdog. I believe the programme is meant to be entertaining. MAkes a bit of a mockery about the serious business of working with sheep. But then I turned it all down for this very reason. Good luck to Emma Gray, Ioan Doyle and Ed Hawkins; the professionals.
You can become a member of the International Sheepdog Society even if you do not have a sheepdog. The Sheepdog News is published six times a year and full members receive one automatically. Please see RESOURCES for the full contact details of the Society.
The Working Shepherd is a new Magazine about the mud on your boots and under your fingernail aspect of the shepherding scene.
My Border Collie, Jaanci and I, hope you find our pages interesting, full of information, fun and a jolly good read. I have set up these pages and training courses because I love the whole scenario of (wo)man and dog working together in the common aim of perpetuating the ancient art and craft of shepherding. Sadly some collies have had the herding instict all but bred out of them. As mentioned elsewhere it is not always a good idea to introduce non-working collies to sheep. Openng a can of worms is how one of my trainers decribed the scenario.
Background & Experience
For over 12 years, I have been setting up sheepdog and handler courses throughout the south west of England - farmers, shepherds, small holders and hobby farmers.
During these many years we have spoken and met almost 2000 people from the south-west of England we have had many success stories – satisfied customers who now have a well trained work force to hand.
The involvement with the Internatonal Sheepdog society has been a bonus. I have been a regular contributor to the Society's magazine for over seven years and contribute articles about shepherds, trainers, hobby farmers and, particularly, overseas shepherds. Most recently I have written aobut the Huntaways of New Zealand. This was about a Trainer who lived just 'up the road' from my son and his family to whom I paid a visit in October 2014. Then there was the piece about the Puppies That Went to the Falklands. There were 40 Border collie pups that were sent to the Falklands about eighteen months after the Conflict had ended - this was in 1983 - and I managed to find photos of them before they went and a few of their current great-great grandchildren!
With all the participants taking part in working sheepdog handler training since setting up, writing and attending Sheepdog Trials it means that I have hundreds of contacts throughout the Border collie world, particularly in the south west but also have access to a world wide base.
Jonny Beardsall wrote in the Saturday Telegraph a couple of years ago, "Caroline, despite her beguiling appearance, is no ethereal white witch. Beneath her silver mane of centre-parted hair, circular framed speactacles and layers of natural fibres is a no-nonsense countrywoman. And for Britains's growing numbers of hobby sheep-keepers - many of whom have no rustlic genes at all - she and her service "All About Sheepdogs" have proved an indispensable resource, particularly in the West country."
When a daisy fresh smallholder opts for sheep, a dog surely completes the bucolic image - which is where Caroline comes in.
"If anything, I am a catalyst", she says. "I can put people in touch with trusted breeders where they can buy a pup for around £200 - although you can pay as much as £9000 for a fully trained trialling dog. After that I talk to the nearest trainer." Caroline has about ten trainers on her books through out the West country.
I run courses in the South West of England for up to forty people each year. Following an initial assessment to check whether or not the dog is ready for training, five two hour sessions are held on a fortnightly basis. This will give the absolute basics of shepherding. Practice is required to build on the lessons for lasting effect. The official International Sheepdog Society Training Book - edited by me - is issued as part of the training course.
One couple who are benefitting from a course are from Cheddar in Somerset where, three years ago, they bought a house and rented a few acres of ground for their rare breed sheep. Their little bitch Skye is attending training sessions and proving to be a 'proper working dog' - although she sleeps by the Rayburn!
On the edge of Exmoor is a chap, semi-retired from the music media, who keeps a small flock of pure-bred Exmoor Horns and some Blueface Mules. "It's been a hobby for eight years but it only occured to me two years ago that I needed a dog. When I bought Sweep at 10 weeks of age, I couldn't even get him to come to me. I was clueless with the collie until I found Caroline online". He joined a training course near Chipstable in West Somerset and would tell friends that he was 'off to Sweep school!'
"At first he (Sweep) had no respect for me but then I hadn't earned any. I was put straight by the lady trainer who would say, 'Shut up, the dog knows more thatn you already', which was true. We're a crack team now and I can 'pick up' sheep with the dog and put them in a pen - my friends think it's quite hilarious".
Largely due to the perpetual popularity of the BBC Two One Man and his Dog, a few trainees purely have sheepdog trialling in mind. "They'll buy a few sheep so they can train and enter trials", says Caroline. "The tradition is no longer confined to working shepherds."
There are many considerations to be taken into account when accepting someone onto a course. They must have sheep for a start and be prepared to practice between training sessions. If you have no regular access to sheep it is not right to awaken the dog's herding instinct and then not let it continue If there are no sheep, Caroline will guide a handler towards Agility or Obedience training instead. A collie's mind needs to be engaged as much as its excessively exhuberant body because it is, arguably, the most intelligent of dog breeds.
Dogs must be kept active and interested. Boredom leads to depression and possibly violent behaviour. Rescue centres are full of abandoned collies, the result of people buying a fluffy puppy that by nine months of age has turned into a raging sofa-trasher. Or a potential sheep killer!
In the right hands the pet collie can be a delight.
This site and the future
It's our aim to use our knowledge, experience and contacts to create a complete Sheepdog Resource site that enables you to find everything about sheepdogs all in one place.
There are many different types of dog used in the UK to work sheep. The most popular is the Border Collie, referred to as the "Sheepdog", but there are also Bearded Collies, Welsh Collies, Kelpies and Huntaways – to name a few. The term "Sheep Dog" is used to cover all types of working Shepherding Dog. And as this site progresses reference to these other types of sheep dog will be included but for the most part all information given refers to the Border Collie sheepdog. In addition to the sheepdogs mentioned earlier we know of several German Shepherd dogs who regularly worko either sheep or pigs. Their style is more about puersuading sheep intoa 'holdin' situation rather that dashing about gathering or driving. Useful as a back up dog.
Many times I have been asked questions - they are usually the same sort of theme and it was athese questions that first prompted me to set up this website. I've listed how the All About Sheepdogs Website will provide some of the answers:-
Qu. Why should I have a well trained working sheepdog and be training it myself?
- Ans. Because you will save time, frustration and have on hand a 'member of staff' who can help you take care of your sheep for little outlay - just its keep.
Qu. Why not get the dog trained by someone else?
- Ans. Good idea - if you can afford it. And sometimes this is the better option but you will still need to bond with it and to know how to give it the correct commands, so we have included information about Dog and Handler Trainers.
Qu. Supposing I want to buy some books and DVD's about working sheepdogs
- Ans. Good thinking. There are a lot of titles available - some of the older ones remain the difinitive products. See the links to other sites where purchases can be made.
Qu. I would like to buy another dog, where do I look?.
- Ans. Contact All About Sheepdogs but please do not buy from a newspaper. If buying a puppy, you must always see the parents wroking. Allways use a recommended source. Remeber that your dog is an investment.
Qu. I have always wanted to 'have a go' at Sheepdog Trialling, where do I start?
- Ans. We have a link to the International Sheep Dog Society website who have lists of all the major Trials and there is information about the three Trialling clubs in the south west. www.isds.org.uk
Cornwall Sheepdog Society - Secretary Trevor Hopper Contact All about Sheepdogs
Devon& Exmoor Sheepdog Society - www.devonandexmoorsds.co.uk
Somerset Training and Trialling Club - Secretary Tracey Davidge - contact All About Sheepdogs. Website coming soon.
Qu. What if I need to know where trainers are in other parts of the Country or, in fact, other parts of the World.
- Ans. Contact All About Sheepdogs
Qu. It's all very well for people who live in the country and can gain acces to sheep, what if I have no sheep?
- Ans. Could be tricky but not impossible - contact All About Sheepdogs. But remember, once you have alerted your urban Border Collie to its herding instincts, you could have a bigger challenge than if you had gone along to Agility classes in the first place. It is cruel to let them start and then stop. Also this can cause sheep worrying.
Jaanci and I hope you will agree that this site is a "one stop shop" for everyone interested in working sheepdogs and that it provides a wealth of resources and information for the experienced and novice owner alike.
Many of you contact me from all over the UK and I so enjoy answering your queries - obviously I do no know anywhere near the answers but invariably Iknow someone who can. The most recent mind stretcher was the lovely lady from Slovenia who asked about getting her dog to stop! This we achived and as a result she is now translating the Training Book into Slovenian. In addition there are now versions in Hungarian and Brazialian Portuguese.

Earlier this month, it took the combined efforts of police officers, firefighters, code enforcers and animal control workers to corral and cage nearly 50 cats from the 1,500-square-foot home of a Saginaw woman.
Nearly 50!
The ammonia smell from their urine was so intense it could be smelled from the street, and neighbors were complaining.
We can only imagine what conditions were like inside the home if those outside were offended by the stench. Rob Davis, a city code specialist with Saginaw's SCENIC group, described it as capable of knocking "you off your feet."
It's little wonder, then, that the house has been condemned.
The city got involved 10 months ago, warning homeowner Nannette K. Oakes to take care of the problem. For the sake and safety of both Oakes and the animals, we're glad officials finally moved in and addressed the situation.
Indeed, we have to wonder why it took nearly a year. Was no one checking back to see that Oakes was addressing the matter?
By all accounts, Oakes is an animal lover who got in over her head. Word of her willingness to care for unwanted cats spread and people started dropping them off.
We won't vilify her for trying to address what is a widespread problem, especially since Valerie McCullough of the Saginaw County Animal Care Center said it doesn't appear the cats were neglected.
But that many cats cannot live in one, small house, no matter how well-meaning the homeowner.
Sadly, only about 20 of the cats have the potential to be adopted. McCollough said the others will be put down. Eleven already had been because of health or behavior issues.
Oakes' case is extreme, but quicker intervention might have made a difference. It also illustrates the need to revisit the ordinances that apply to felines.
It's time to start treating cats and dogs equally. Owners should be required to have them licensed and leashed when they are outside so they are not roaming the neighborhood.
It's not only the public at large that such a change would protect, but the animals themselves.

J. Harrington (Cornell), D. Deming (NASA GSFC)
We model the plume flight and atmospheric response phases of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts, producing synthetic impact-site images and lightcurves that are consistent with observations. We initialize a ballistic Monte-Carlo plume model with the final velocity distribution of Zahnle and Mac Low's (1995, J. Geophys. Res. 100, 16,885--16,894) entry-response model. Our model ejects the plume into a cone with adjustble tilt and opening angles, and calculates where and when the mass, energy, and momentum land. It also has parameterized material sliding, since the observed plumes slid after impact (Hammel et al. 1994, Science 267, 1288--1296). The model reproduces the main features of the large impact sites, including the previously-unexplained expanding ring seen at 3.2 microns by McGregor et al. (1996, Icarus 121, 361--388). The model's output feeds a radiative-hydrodynamic atmosphere model based on the ZEUS 3D code of Stone and Norman (1992, Astrophys. J. Suppl. 80, 753--790). This model produces synthetic lightcurves and explains the physics of the ``third precursors'', ``main event'', ``bounces'', ``flare'', and several spectroscopic observations, including hot CO. The maximum temperature is 2500 K. The principal cooling mechanism following the main event is adiabatic horizontal expansion, not radiation. We cannot reproduce many lightcurve features without a "vanguard" of high-density, fast material preceeding the main plume. This is a little-noted feature of Zahnle and Mac Low's (1995) published velocity distribution. Our models represent the closure of the scientific method on models of fragment impact and breakup, as they carry the final conditions of impact models forward in time and produce synthetic observables capable of distinguishing among those models. We offer to initialize our models with the final conditions of any published impact model to perform this test. Work funded by the NASA Planetary Atmospheres Program.

For years, the Philadelphia Flyers have been known for developing their young talent and rarely making a huge splash in the offseason.
However, more recently, the Flyers have seemed to dive deeper into their pockets to secure some stars on the market. Not only are the Flyers still developing their farm system, they are also going outside the organization to get some help.
This offseason, the Flyers might need to make another splash by finding another goalie or goal scorer in free agency. They are a great team, but they need someone to get them over the hump.
Thinking ahead to the future, here are some of the best offseasons the Flyers have had in the past 10 years.

TUSCALOOSA - The fifth day of spring practice for Mike Price's Crimson Tide was not one he wishes to remember.
"It was not a good practice," Price said following the two and one half hour workout, "we got pretty sloppy. We need to get in better shape. I thought the players lost their focus during practice. It may have been because we tried to put in too much new offense, but we just didn't execute very well. On defense, it looked like we got pretty tired."
The defense was working without three defensive linemen, Ahmad Childress and Nautyn McKay-Loescher who were out with the flu and Anthony Bryant who did not practice after suffering a bruised tailbone in last Saturday's scrimmage.
Price also announced that sophomore linebacker Juke King suffered a knee injury "but we don't know how serious it is at this point," Price said.
"All in all, we have had better days," Price said. "Part of it may be the coaching change. Kids tend to not work as hard when there are not 10 coaches watching them. Ben Pollard has done an excellent job, but he can only do so much. We'll try to work more conditioning drills into our practices, but there will be time after spring practice to get in the running."
Price indicated that after watching the tape of Saturday's scrimmage, several players stood out.
"I thought we pass protected pretty well," he said, "and Roman Harper did really well in the scrimmage and I thought our linebackers looked pretty good, too. The defensive line needs some work, though." he added.
Alabama continues the second week of spring practice with workouts Wednesday, Friday and another scrimmage Saturday. The weekday practices begin at 3:30 p.m., while Saturday's practice is tentatively set for 10 a.m.

I have been fortunate over the past several years to work on a series of projects with my friend and fellow family history fan, Dave Robison.
The first project was the expansion of the 1880 census of Springfield. It listed the community of birth, the maiden name of the wife, place and year of marriage, date of death and place of burial, as well as the parents of the groom and bride.
An example: Nahum Bryant, born 1827 in New York, N.Y, the son of Nahum Bryant and Olive Cole, married in 1847 at Cummington, His bride, Jane M. Hitchcock, born 1828 in Chesterfield, was the daughter of Warren Hitchcock and Olive Clough.
Nahum died on Jan. 25, 1900 and Jane M (Hitchcock) Bryant died on
Jan. 13, 1910. Both are buried in Springfield Cemetery.
Some of the dates of death are dates of burial. Thanks to Angie Robinson and Beckie Cross for their Findagrave photographs. Their work led to the next part of the project; we entered the dates of death or burial on the Findagrave.com website.
Over the past year, when interest in the Civil War grew with the 150th anniversary, we determined which of the men were Civil War veterans and, for man, we were able to find the company and regiment with which they served.
Nahum Bryant was a member of Co. A of the 57th Massachusetts Infantry
Regiment. His stone is on Findagrave in a photo by Angie Robinson' he is buried on Strawberry Path, South Side, Lot 2204.
Of course, in this month when we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I would be remiss if I did not mention the role of the Irish in the Civil War. Of all of the immigrants to the US, the Irish,
many of whom had fled from the potato famine in their homeland, played a most
prominent role.
Several Irish immigrant veterans are buried in Western Massachusetts cemeteries.
Henry Ring, who served with Co. K of the 27th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, Peter Shanley, of Co. E 11th U.S. Infantry Regiment and John Walsh, of Co. D of the New York Cavalry are all buried in St. Benedict's Cemetery at Armory St. rotary in Springfield.
I would like to dedicate this column to the memory of Capt. Hugh Donnelly, born March 16, 1841 in County Tyrone, Ireland. A member of Co. I, of the 37th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, he fought in the battles of Williamsburg and Bull Run. The regiment suffered much violence, with 3,543 killed and 5,672 wounded.
Capt. Donnelly suffered a head wound on July 5,1864, but he survived and became an attorney in Springfield. His office was at the corner of Main and Sanford street.He died on Oct/ 27, 1912. He is buried in St. Michael's Cemetery in Springfield. God bless our Irish immigrant veterans.
If you are trying to research your ancestors, you can access the same sources as I can. Visit the Genealogy Library and Archives at the Lyman and Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History. The hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the first Saturday of each month from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
I appreciate suggestions for future columns and feedback.

Rovinj – the most romantic town
Posted on Nov 09 2011
According to the American TV journalist, Ashley Colburn, winner of the Emmy award for the documentary series called Wonders of Croatia, Rovinj is the most romantic town she has ever visited.
After the fifth episode of the documentary about Croatia, filmed in Istria, has been shot, the journalist was fascinated by the town of Rovinj so much that she wanted to remain and live there.
The journalist was interviewed by www.touristar.tv and hasn't hidden her enthusiasm about the small city located on the western coast of Istria.
'We have already shot five of seven episodes of the Wonders of Croatia series. We are currently filming in Istria of which I liked Rovinj the most.
In fact, I would like to live in Rovinj, I reckon it is the most romantic town of all towns I visited by now.
I am in love with Rovinj. After I've travelled through the whole world, I think Rovinj is one of the favourite towns I have visited.
Travelling around the world you do not encounter much places like this one'.
Visibly fascinated by the town and its citizens, the journalist made a joke:
'They have to stop feeding me here. Please! No more wine, brandy or smoked ham.
This morning we had to wake up rather early as we went hunting for truffles. I actually managed to find one big as a fist which we later used for omelette. That was a nice prize for getting up so early. So, we've been fed very well here in Istria'.
'I love Croatia and everything that has something to do with it. I could really live here. I would like to stay here even after the shooting is finished.
One day I would like to obtain Croatian citizenship', said Ashley without hiding her disappointment for having to leave Croatia after the shooting, adding: 'I was impressed by Croatia since the very beginning and it has stolen my heart. I know I will come back'.
After her journey through Istria and whole Adriatic coast, the journalist summarized her astonishment and impressions in few words: 'As a world traveller I can say I saw how people live and the fact that they do not appreciate where they live. These are the reasons why I learnt to appreciate to be here in Croatia enjoying its beauties.

Stepping aside as the marching bands stroll along Mardi Gras parade routes is a time-honored tradition in New Orleans. Moving up on the curb is a time used by some to replenish a beverage, grab a snack or throw a recently caught foam football along side the route.
But for many, moving to the curb isn't simply about getting out of the way, it's an opportunity to stake claim to a better position to hear what many consider the best part of Mardi Gras; the talented marching bands from area high schools participating in parades each year.
So the question is, which band is your favorite? Are you a St. Aug. partisan? Or do you prefer McMain or St. Paul's?
If you have an allegiance to a particular school, you can certainly tout that band's talents. But if you can, take a moment to appreciate the efforts of others you've heard.
This isn't about smack talk and bashing others. It's more about appreciating the efforts of the students and musical directors who spend their time practicing to bring a great sound to the season.
Take a minute to vote in our poll and leave a comment below telling us how you came to like and admire your favorite band.

VFA grants, as they are commonly called, are designed to provide a financial boost to rural, nonprofit call or volunteer fire departments serving small communities with populations of 10,000 or fewer residents. In order to qualify for the grants, 80 percent of a department must be comprised of call or volunteer firefighters.
The grants, whose amounts were unavailable Sunday, are administered through the Department of Conservation and Recreation's Bureau of Forest Fire Control and Bureau of Forestry.
Another ranking state official will be in local waters on Monday. Transportation Secretary Richard Davey is scheduled to appear on WHYN radio's Morning Show with Brad and Bo at 8:15 a.m. in Springfield.
Material from the State House News Service was used in this report.
