Tracks to the past
Accurate scale model of B&M Railroad being built in Wakefield
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader | July 15. 2013 9:16PM
From left, Bill Gaver of Brookfield, Ken White of Rochester and Rich Breton of Rochester, all members of the National Model Railroad Association, at the Wakefield Heritage Commission's Heritage Centre in the Freight House in Union.
"We're just thrilled with the work. It will teach our residents, tourists and children about the heritage of our villages and the role of the railway in the growth of our community," she said.
According to Gaver, who along with other team members researched the history of the Boston & Maine Railroad in archives at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, the rail line transported tourists from Boston to the North Country, hauled ice harvested from local lakes and other goods like lumber. Industries that thrived in Wakefield in 1909 included mica mining, farming, shoe manufacturing, lumber products and farming. While the focus of this project is on the rail line and heritage throughout the five villages of Wakefield, trains traveled to parts north and over to Wolfeboro.
The team is carefully documenting the project. Breton has drawn diagrams for future repairs and to share knowledge and methods with other model enthusiasts. At this stage, all the main wiring is in place. Volunteer Dave Sias created the electrical "brain board" to control all the electrical components with Tony Keegan and Nelson Kennedy helping to run wire and check circuits. Lee Gridley painted the sky blue backdrop.
Gaver said the goal is to get part of the model railway line working in time for Wakefield Heritage Day on Aug. 10. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., there will be special presentations, tours, live music and refreshments.
Aside from events on Heritage Day, the rail line builders will host a layout tour for members of the New England region of the National Model Railway Association on Oct. 20, where Breton will provide a PowerPoint presentation.

RISD and Brown students together organized the fourth A Better World By Design conference, spanning three days and nine locations.
Students from RISD and neighboring Brown University worked
together again this year to host A Better World by Design, an annual
conference aimed at addressing sustainable solutions to
complex social issues such as food, health care and the built environment in
the developing world.
Now in its fourth year, the student-led
conference spanned three days and nine campus venues, and brought together speakers
from technology (IBM, Google, Autodesk); design (IDEO, frog design) and academia
(RISD, Brown and others), as well as health care (Mayo Clinic), media (The New York Times) and local and global
NGOs to build networks and exchange ideas.
Workshops and tours included Providence
landmarks such as The Steel Yard, a vibrant arts community and
technical training center founded by Nick
Bauta 99 SC. Developer John Jacobson 94 PH, president of JTJ
Investments, also took participants on a tour of 28 Wolcott.
Once an abandoned jewelry factory, it is now a model of energy-efficient
building development.
and design featured prominently throughout the weekend in talks by RISD Architecture
professors Silvia Acosta on socially engaged
architecture, Peter Yeadon on zero-energy architecture and Anastasia Congdon on urban access to food. Alumni Dawn Danby 00 ID and Craig Provost 99 ID led discussions on how
to put sustainable design strategies into practice.
The weekend kicked off with a keynote
address from Senator Jack Reed
(RI-D), RISD President John Maeda and Brown Dean of Engineering
Lawrence Larson.
"This event affirms my belief that art
and design are poised to transform the world," said Maeda. "The collisions that
happen here are seeds for future innovation." He went on to applaud the
characteristics of designers that make them great innovators – risk-taking,
scrappiness, agility and a willingness to get their hands dirty. "We're told that
innovation comes from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)," he
said, "but adding Art [to
make STEAM] makes a world of difference."
Larson, Brown's newly appointed first dean
of Engineering, couldn't agree more as he seeks to foster further collaboration
between Brown and RISD. "The best engineers are a combination of artist and
scientist," he said. "The reason the world is a better place is because of
design. It can change the world."
Although Senator Reed could not be
physically present at the event, in his taped remarks he, too, commended the
collaboration between Brown and RISD, and the two institutions' "creative,
forward-thinking minds working together… Brown and RISD continue to grow
innovative ideas and attract business to Rhode Island."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|One of the most informative threads I have read on paralleling batteries. Thanks everyone.
This discussion has produced a conclusion...
Gongrats all, on a helluva thread. Much dialog (knowledgable to boot) on a much needed subject. After reading and digesting it all I've come to my own conclusion and will implement it forthwith in my old 35'. I agree with the premise that one large bank (four or six Trojan 105's) is a better setup, with a completely separate engine bank. One master on/off for each bank. In cases (hopefully not) that either goes flat I'll simply carry a heavy duty set of cables for emergency jumpering.
I believe it will be easier to monitor one large house bank (using a Link2000 or similar) than wiring 2 separate house banks, associated switches, wiring, yadayadayada, and monitoring both, not to mention remembering to switch back and forth...I've got enough other things to remember, like where I stashed my spare Racors...
Cheers, and thanks!
|Helluva thread.
Thank you for bring up this point, I was remiss in not explaining the difference.
Correct, there are two additional single points of failure, the connections between the 6V blocks (discounting the wire and crimps). The first configuration has redundancy, the second does not, so the first is preferable. Increased reliability can be accomplished by feeding both strings to the same terminal point, instead of one string to the other.
At some point the amount of redundancy in your system depends on how much you want to take it. At the extreme you can have two totally independent systems duplicating everything including loads (electronics, lights, refer, etc.). At some point you have to decide how much redundancy to have.
Don't get me wrong, I have spent a lot of time on this thread arguing for paralleling batteries as a means to improve reliability and capacity, and would advocate doing it the first way, but in the end it comes down to personal preference.
The only problem I see with this Dave is that the second configuration is a bit more prone to failure than the first.
From what I see... if any battery in the first configuration dies, you have a 12V and a 6V battery, which may or may not be connected, depending on the failure. On the second one, if a battery fails, you will definitely have a connection between the 6V and the 12V battery.
However, I am a bit rusty on my electrical circuit theory, since its been over 20 years since I've used it regularly.
Bill is correct, in essence you are making a 12V battery.
There are two ways, actually. The first is as Bill described it, putting two 6V batteries in series (positive to negative, creating one string of 12V, and connecting the two positives and the two negatives of the strings together [the posts not connected to the other battery in the string]) the second is to parallel two 6V batteries together, twice (positive to positive, negative to negative) so you have two of these assemblies, and then connect those assemblies positive to negative to form the 12V string.
Use whichever way best fits your boat and how the batteries and wiring fit.
I'm assuming that you have a 12V system, and that you want to use four 6-volt batteries for the house bank.
Essentially, you make two 12-volt batteries by connecting two batteries in series (positive to negative). THEN, you connect the two 12-volt batteries in parallel (positive to positive).
1. Connect the first battery's positive pole to the second battery's negative pole. This will give you 12 volts, measured between the two unconnected poles.
2. Do exactly the same thing with the third and fourth batteries. Now, you have two 12-volt battery banks, each consisting of two 6-volt batteries in series.
3. Now, connect these two banks in PARALLEL, by connecting positive to positive, negative to negative. You now have one large 12-volt bank consisting of four 6-volt batteries in series/parallel.
This combined bank will have twice the capacity in AH of each individual bank. If you're using golf cart batteries with a nominal 20-hour rate of 220AH, then you will have a 440AH house battery bank.
If you have any doubts or uncertainties about this, ask a knowledgeable friend.
I'm trying to use four 6 volts to replace my house bank. When you say " parallel" do you mean that the batteries are connected pos to next battery's neg pole? If so, does that continue on to battery 3 and 4?This is as opposed to series which would connect all four pos poles and all four neg poles seperately?
Paralleling does not cause premature failure!
Not true. When the cells are connected together with cable they will be at the same voltage in all conditions. As they are charged the charger will impose the voltage and the batteries will accept the charge dependent on their capacity and charge state. If they are exactly matched (an impossibility, I know, but just for the sake of argument) they will accept the same current, if the charger can deliver 30 amps, both will have 15 amps going in. As the charger reaches its upper voltage limit (boost or float charge) the current will taper off in both batteries until the current counterbalances the self discharge of the batteries (full charge).
The same happens if the batteries are not matched. The difference occurs in the amount of current each battery accepts curing the charge cycle. If one battery has twice the capacity of the other (through wear-out, or even if two batteries of different capacities are used), and using our 30 amp charger, the larger batter will accept twice the current of the smaller one (20 amps for the larger, 10 amps for the smaller). The same taper will occur as the final voltage is reached and both batteries will reach full charge at about the same time.
In the discharge mode, a similar thing happens. As you put a load on a battery, the internal resistance causes the output of the battery to drop immediately. This drop is small so if you try and measure it you will need a voltmeter to several decimal places, preferably measuring 1/100 of a volt @ 12volt range (this would be called a 5 and ½ digit meter). The important point is that this voltage drop allows the current of parrelled batteries to be shared in spite of their relative capacities! Taking out two examples the exactly matched batteries will exactly split the load current equally, and our mismatched batteries will have the current from the larger one at twice that of the smaller one.
This equates to the load currents of parrelled batteries as having the same relative current based on their capacity. Both batteries will discharge at the same rate (but with different currents) and have the same state of charge at the same time, and reach the end charge state (weather it's 50%, 25%, 100%, or what ever) at the same time!
So, parrelled batteries charge at the same time and discharge to the same relative state of charge at the same time. Each batter will do the same relative work based on its own capacity. If one fails faster then the others, it would have failed in the same time if exposed to the same duty even if used independently. Paralleling batteries does NOT cause them to fail prematurely.
BTW, this conclusion is based on many, many scientific papers I have been using in the course of my work, and that I have reviewed while and after I have been posting on this thread. I will make them available to any who ask.
|All good reading and fair comment from btrayfors with regard to switching banks at 3am so we must be better off with one bank ! as for parallel or series if this is a option series must be better as two cells in parallel will have different voltages and the higher one will allways be doing more work so will fail earlier, then leaving the job up to the other one on its own which will now fail before its time . Not what we want. Neil

Obamanomics: A case study
On Tuesday a federal bankruptcy judge gave the OK for auto-parts maker Wanxiang America Corp., a subsidiary of China's Wanxiang Group, to buy A123 Systems, a Waltham, Mass., maker of batteries for electric cars. Wanxiang is to pay $256.6 million if the deal is approved by federal officials. But that is not where the taxpayers come in.
The taxpayers are already in the deal. They got in via a $249 million Department of Energy grant in 2010. It was part of the federal "stimulus" bill. A123 has received $133 million of the grant.
As with Solyndra, the solar-panel maker that was approved for more than half-a-billion dollars in federal financing before it went bankrupt, Obama administration officials approved hundreds of millions of dollars to a "green energy" company not based on its financial prospects, but on Obama's personal preference for alternative energy.
These "investments" are financed by U.S. debt, much of which is bought by Chinese investors. The Chinese own $1.4 trillion in U.S. treasury bonds (that's after selling some in the past year).
If the sale is approved, Wanxiang will walk away with a steal. It will get a battery maker the Chinese thought was worth $450 million, and it will pay just $7.6 million more than A123's 2010 federal grant. A bust for taxpayers becomes a boon for Chinese investors.
But that is not all. China is awash in interest payments we taxpayers are making on federal treasury bonds. If some of the Chinese profit from those payments was invested in Wanxiang, then taxpayers have subsidized both ends of this deal via interest payments on debt used to finance A123 in 2010 and to finance its purchase in 2012.
This, in a nutshell, is Obamanomics. Enjoy; we're getting four more years of it.

American High School Band Marches with Hammer & Sickle
A Pennsylvania high school marching band is raising eyebrows with a halftime performance that commemorates the Russian revolution, complete with red flags, olive military-style uniforms, and giant hammers and sickles.
"St. Petersburg: 1917" is the theme for the New Oxford High School Marching Band. Ironically, the school's athletic teams are called the Colonials and their colors are red, white and blue. The band's website features a picture of the group with students holding a hammer and sickle.
"There is no reason for Americans to celebrate the Russian revolution," said one irate parent who alerted Fox News. "I am sure the millions who died under Communism would not see the joy of celebrating the Russian revolution by a school 10 miles from Gettysburg."
The parent, who asked not to be identified, attended a football last Friday night with his children. He said he was shocked by what he saw.
"It was Glee meets the Russian Revolution," he told Fox News. "I'm not kidding you. They had giant hammers and sickles and they were waving them around."
"Who thought this was a good idea?"
Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin say you need to get a copy of Todd's book – "Dispatches From Bitter America." Click here to get your copy!
Rebecca Harbaugh, the superintendent for the Conewago Valley School District, told Fox News that the band's performance was "not an endorsement of communism at all."
"It's a representation of the time period in history called St. Petersburg 1917," she said. "I am truly sorry that somebody took the performance in that manner. I am."
"If anything is being celebrated it's the music," she said. "It is what it is. I understand people look at something and choose how to interpret that and I'm just very sorry that it wasn't looked at as just a history lesson."
Besides, she explained, "in 2008 we did an entire show on freedom."
But some critics said it's outrageous for any American school to be celebrating such a violent era.
"It would be tantamount to celebrating the music of 1935 Berlin," the parent said. "If I was Lithuanian, Estonian, or Ukrainian, I'd be a little hot. I'd be really hot. It's insulting to glorify something that doesn't need to be glorified in America."
Paul Kengor is the executive director for the Center for Vision & Values at Pennsylvania's Grove City College.
He initially thought the halftime performance was a joke.
"This is surreal," he told Fox News. "This is like something out of the Twilight Zone – but it's even stranger than that."
Kengor said even if the school was not celebrating the revolution "they seem to be commemorating this to some degree."
"The Bolshevik Revolution launched a global Communist revolution that from 1917 through the 1990s was responsible for the deaths of over a hundred million people," he said. "What the Russian revolution unleashed was a nightmare – a historical human catastrophe. This is something that should be condemned and not in any way commemorated or laughed at."
Gerson Moreno-Riano, dean of Regent University's College of Arts & Sciences, told Fox News the performance is shocking.
"The Russian revolution was one of the most violent episodes of the 20th Century," he said. "Lenin put into place a doctrine of mass terror to crush the opposition and thousands and thousands of people were murdered.
The history professor said there's very little to celebrate in that movement.
"It's full of violence, terror, destruction and in some weeks thousands of people were executed – some thrown with rocks around their necks into the river to drown," he said.
"It's quite frankly horrific that a high school would be celebrating that at a football game," he said.
He was even more disturbed by the group photograph of the band in front of the hammer and sickle.
"To raise the emblems of the hammer and sickle – the emblems of so much violence, destruction and terror – is a lack of knowledge of history," he said.
In the best case scenario, he said the editors were simply ignorant of the era.
"The worst case scenario is someone who is trying to celebrate something they know about – and they're trying to insert this into their educational agenda," he said.

Retired General James Jones who will become Barack Obama's national security adviser, told a marine audience he took the job because he wanted to restore America's stature in the world and make being an American someone can be proud to say. He wants to recapture the feeling that once was held by millions of people that being an American meant one supported the dignity and rights of all people to a decent life. In a sense, Jones, wants to rid America of the Bush stains upon our moral standing in the world. America has to be more than a nation which begins wars and then subjects captured prisoners to torture and brutality. Bush's legacy has been to besmirch the uniform of American soldiers by linking wearing that uniform to being part of an army which destroys human dignity.
I do not know if General Jones can help to end the legacy of George Bush, but it is important to restore the dignity of those who fight for this nation. I do not know if the future will look back on this generation with admiration. But, if Barack Obama can ensure that no American soldier ever again has to engage in criminal actions, he will take the first step on the road back to pride in America.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
the activity of balancing and walking on a piece of bouncy nylon rope which is suspended above the ground
'… the three-day event taking place at the famous Dublin venue showboats Ireland's most thrilling and terrifying outdoor activities, including zorbing, extreme trampoline and slacklining.'Irish Independent 20th May 2011
'"When I am free soloing, usually I am so confident with my abilities on the slackline," he says. "I just stroll across – it doesn't even look hard.'Daily Mail 2nd June 2011
'The board estimates that it will cost $6,000 to install permanent posts that would rise several feet out of the ground to allow slackliners to use as an anchor.'Billings Gazette 21st May 2011
What do you get when you cross tightrope walking with trampolining? The answer is slacklining, a new leisure activity becoming popular across the globe and attracting people of all ages, from young children to die-hard adrenalin junkies.
the length of a slackline can vary, with longer lines being more difficult to walk because they're looser and harder to control
Slacklining is a balancing sport involving a piece of nylon rope which is suspended above the ground between two anchor points, often trees or other upright structures which are sufficiently far apart. The nylon rope, referred to as a slackline, is a length of one or two inch wide tubular webbing, a type of rope often used for climbing. Though it looks a bit like tightrope walking, slacklining is quite different because the line is not held taught and is made of an elasticated material which stretches and bounces beneath the feet. It therefore gives a sensation similar to that of being on a trampoline, albeit an incredibly narrow one!
The length of a slackline can vary, with longer lines being more difficult to walk because they're looser and harder to control, and shorter lines being more suitable for tricks. The elasticity of the line makes it possible for proficient slackliners to jump and do a range of other stunts, including walking backwards, sitting or lying down, turning around, dropping the knee, or even doing back flips!
The other thing that varies is the height of the line, which is conventionally just a couple of feet above the ground, but is sometimes a very large distance above it. This variation is called highlining, and is usually done with special equipment and appropriate safety harnesses, though a daredevil minority do it without, a feat dubbed by insiders as a free solo (check out the link in the second citation above for some jaw-dropping photos). By contrast, in what is referred to as lowlining or tricklining, the slackline is positioned close to the ground and the focus is on stunts and tricks. A further variation on the theme is waterlining, which is slacklining across stretches of water.
Slacklining first emerged in the UK about three years ago, but its origins are in the USA, and can be traced back to a group of thrill-seeking rock climbers who in the late seventies first had the idea of stringing up nylon webbing and walking across it. There is now global interest in the activity and various slacklining world records exist, including 306 metres for the longest walk across, and an amazing 1000m for the highest.
As well as being used as a countable noun to refer to the line itself, the word slackline is also used as a verb, both intransitively as in slackline across/over etc, and occasionally transitively, with the object referring to the geographical feature at which the slacklining takes place. The word slackliner is used to refer to participants, who are sometimes also informally referred to as slackers.

Download You know you need business intelligence (BI), but you want it to be successful. As you consider your options, you are bound to run into companies that say you shouldn't choose a traditional BI solution because it's too boring and it takes too long to implement. You might hear that traditional BI is "processing intensive," "way too big to be nimble and agile," "a mountain of reports that no one understands." You might also hear that you should look into a lightweight solution. Or that you must have BI software that can provide gorgeous graphics on your iPad. These solutions are alluring because they offer a quick fix to your information woes. You might even see demonstrations of how easily and quickly you can find the information you need if you toss out your dinosaur reporting application for one that provides slick animation for your next presentation.

Welcome to UnassistedChildbirth.com. This site is based on the belief that childbirth is inherently safe and relatively painless provided we don't live in poverty, and do not interfere either physically or psychologically.
Drugs, machinery, and medical personnel are not only unnecessary in most cases, they are also no match for a woman's own intellect and intuition. Birth is sexual and spiritual, magical and miraculous – but not when it's managed, controlled, and manipulated by the medical establishment, or hindered by the mother's own mind.
In the articles and stories on this site I hope to present a new way of looking at birth, and ultimately, at life. Childbirth is a gift to be enjoyed not a curse to be endured. The time has come for us to cast off our doubts and fears, and learn to believe in our own abilities. What better place to start than with the birth of a baby?

My Book: Unassisted Childbirth
Someday women will not give birth in hospitals because they will realize that childbirth is not a disease. They will not pay physicians thousands of dollars to probe them and cut them and tell them what to do. They will not submit themselves to IVs, fetal monitors, vaginal examinations, or Cesarean sections. Nor will they take the hospitals into their homes, bringing there the well-meaning substitute doctors – the midwives – with their sterilized instruments, rubber gloves, and breathing techniques. For, none of this will be necessary.
Instead, like their animal sisters, women will someday deliver their own babies peacefully and painlessly at home. Women will understand that birth is only dangerous and painful for those who believe it is.
Someday, both women and men will understand that childbirth (and every other event in their lives) is the result of their individual beliefs. They will no longer listen to the voices of officialdom telling them that their lives are beyond their self-conscious control. They will listen instead to the inner authority saying, "Your life is your own creation. Believe in yourself and you have nothing to fear." My goal in writing this book is to help make that someday today.

One of the most productive running backs in NCAA history is now a Bronco. Denver selected Wisconsin's Montee Ball in the second round of the draft Friday. Ball ran for more than 5,000 yards in college and owns the record for career all-purpose touchdowns with 83. Ball's presence has big implications on Willis McGahee and Ronnie Hillman .
Fantasy Analysis:
I guess I should also mention Knowshon Moreno , but most believe his time was already up in Denver. Ball is not a special athlete, but he can be a workhorse runner. He has good vision and power and should be seen as the Broncos' new lead back. With Ball around, it would feel kind of redundant if Denver kept Willis McGahee, a somewhat similar player. Hillman would remain a change-of-pace player, but it's clear that is all he will ever be on this team. I'm not a big fan of Ball, but he has a pretty good shot at being a starting running back early this year. That automatically makes him a third- or fourth-round pick in re-draft fantasy leagues. Ball should have plenty of room to run with opposing defenses much more concerned about Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, and Wes Welker.

I'd like to have local "mirrored" versions of several useful websites available offline.
Any recommendations?
I found a program called "pavuk" but having trouble meeting dependencies:
Suggestions and/or recommendations are appreciated.bt ~ # pavuk -X
pavuk: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
use this........really cool......
it's the nux version of course but i never build it under linux so i don't know a word of the dependencies needed.........
and there's a gui & command line versions

Wisconsin Slips Past Green Bay in Overtime, 65-61
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – A late 16-6 second half surge capped by a long-range three-point shot from Wisconsin's Nicole Bauman with under one second remaining tied the game before the Badgers completed the comeback in overtime to escape with a 65-61 triumph over the Phoenix on Monday evening at the Kohl Center.
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Phoenix (6-5) against the Badgers (7-5), and left the Phoenix winless in the month of December. Green Bay led by as many as 16 points in the first half and held on to a double-digit advantage down the stretch (49-39) before the Badgers outscored the Phoenix 16-6 over the final 5:01 to tie the game at 55 and send it to extra minutes.
Green Bay maintained a double-digit lead early in the second half, but the Badgers slowly chipped away at the advantage to pull to within single digits with under 13 minutes remaining. The Green Bay lead was as high as 14 points (38-24) with 15:11 on the clock before the Badgers used an 8-0 run to cut the lead to six points (38-32) with 12:04 remaining.
However, the Phoenix responded and slowly built its advantage back to double digits. Freshman Mariah Monke (Fergus Falls, Minn.) layed in a basket to put the lead back at 12 points (49-37)with 7:10 remaining, but on the next possession the Badgers mounted their comeback. Wisconsin scored on its next five possessions during the run and completed the rally as Bauman banked in a three-point shot with 0.7 remaining to tie the game and send it to overtime.
Green Bay grabbed back the lead in overtime, scoring the first four points on a layup by senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) and a pair of free throws by junior Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) to jump out to a 59-55 lead. Wisconsin responded with the next four points to tie the game before assuming its first lead of the game (61-59) since it made the first basket of the game (19:17) at the 1:55 mark. The Phoenix again knotted the score (61-61) with a layup from freshman Mehryn Kraker (West Allis, Wis.) with 1:36 remaining, but the Badgers held the Phoenix scoreless over the final minute while going a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line to escape with the 65-61 triumph.
It was a dominant first half for the Phoenix, leading by as many as 16 points in the opening stanza. All knotted at eight points with 12:58 showing on the clock in the first half, the Phoenix went on a 19-3 run over the next 9:37 to jump out to a 19-3 lead with 3:21 remaining. Back-to-back layups from Ranger jumpstarted the run, followed by a three from freshman Sam Terry (Baraboo, Wis.) and Ranger free throw for an 8-0 scoring spurt over 2:51 (16-8).
A Paige Morgan jumper ended the scoreless drought for the Badgers, but sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) and Ranger made the front end of a pair of free throws on consecutive possessions to keep the Green Bay lead at eight points, 18-10.
The Badgers made one more free throw before the Phoenix again controlled play with a quick 7-0 run to assume its largest lead of the half at 16 points (27-11) at the 3:21 mark. Wisconsin attempted to work its way back into the game with back-to-back three-point shots to pull to within 10 points (27-17), but the Phoenix held the Badgers at bay as it went into halftime with a 32-19 lead.
Green Bay shot just 31.3 percent (10-32) in the first half while the Badgers also struggled shooting 31.8 percent (7-22). The Phoenix dominated the boards (25-14) and paint (16-6) and also led in points off turnovers (12-1) and second chance points (9-0).
For the contest, the Phoenix finished shooting just 29.2 percent (19-65) while the Badgers picked it up in the second half to finish at 44.2 percent (23-52) for the game. Wisconsin finished the contest outrebounding Green Bay (43-38), but the Phoenix controlled almost every other statistical category including forcing the Badgers into 20 turnovers while only committing nine while tallying 12 steals compared to four for the Badgers. Green Bay also led points in the paint (32-20), points off turnovers (18-3) and second chance (15-6).
Ranger led the Phoenix with 15 points, while Megan Lukan had a double-double adding 10 points and a career- and game-high 11 rebounds. Kaili Lukan and Kraker finished with 12 points apiece. Michala Johnson had a game-high 22 points for the Badgers.
Green Bay plays its final non-conference game of the season on Wednesday as it welcomes Maine to the Kress Center at 1 p.m.

text: After the first few weeks of buckeye basketball, I was not very optimistic on the buckeyes chances in 2008. However, after a solid upset at Illinois and a win against Northwestern when the leading scorer is shutout, I like this basketball team. I think they can compete in the big ten. Right now, I say the bucks finish 3rd in the big ten, and go on to be a 4 or 5 seed in the tourney. Anybody else have predictions?

Geneabloggers has written a great two part article about QR codes and how it could (will) be the future of genealogy research.
What's a QR code? A QR code is a fancy bar code that you can scan with your mobile and get more information on that item/place/person/whatever that you are standing in front of.
The codes are generated for specific web sites and then attached to points of interest that are relevant to that QR code. The implications for research are endless:
- Libraries
- Graveyards
- Historic Sites
- Conferences
It's perfect timing when more genealogy companies and research outlets are producing more iPhone apps. All you need is a smart phone and your genealogy road trip is all set – without the boxes of paperwork and documents.

The last scene movements to Councilors house. We see thulasi and Tamizh sitting tight frantically for the councilor. Thamizh gets more frantic and goes and asks the individuals when the councilor would return. They pompously requests that he hold up until he arrives.The episode starts with sundari telling his son in-law that she sends her daughter as they are her world. She asked him not to beat her. She asked him if she done any mistakes means call me I'll correct her. She asked his daughter's family that if they want to give any punishment she was ready to accept that. Her son in-law told that he didn't do anything purposely.
This some piece of this scene closes here.

My sitution is, I've just taken a leave of absence from a maths PGCE, planning to return to that in September next year, and I'm wanting to do something different in the meantime.
As I've heard that some TEFL jobs are half year ones starting in March/April I thought I'd look into that. I'd preferably go to Japan as I did a module on the language as part of my undergraduate degree. I'm hoping that and the fact I've classroom experience from my PGCE will outweigh the fact I've not got a formal TEFL qualification.
What sort of chance do I have?

Since 1970, the Appalachian Center has played a central role in helping Berea College realize its commitment to education and service in Appalachia. We do this through offering Appalachian Studies courses, advising students who wish to pursue an independent major or minor in Appalachian Studies, providing an academic home for students who identify with the region, and through offering programming about Appalachia. The Center promotes scholarship that benefits the Appalachian region and builds partnerships with communities and organizations throughout the region. We assist the college in its effort to recruit, retain, and graduate Appalachian students and encourage graduates to live and work in the region.
Summary of student labor positions:
The Appalachian Center serves as an umbrella for a variety of programs and services in which students take part. Departmental assistants and associates are an integral part of the life and work of the Center, with varied duties such as office work, writing, answering visitors' questions, monitoring the use of the Faber Library, and keeping the area clean and orderly. Students provide editorial assistance for Appalachian Heritage magazine, a literary quarterly that publishes art, poetry, photography, and creative prose that pertains to regional life or is prepared by people with strong ties to the Appalachian region. Students also assist in creating and carrying out various programs put on by the Center, such as its annual Celebration of Traditional Music, the quarterly Appalachian Heritage featured author readings, film showings, artist residencies, concerts, and workshops. The Artifacts & Exhibits Studio employs student curatorial assistants working with the artifact collections, preparing exhibits for the Appalachian Center Gallery as well as locations around campus. One student position is dedicated to assisting the faculty member who holds the NEH Endowed Chair of Appalachian Studies in teaching and research on Appalachian topics.
Other programs that fall under the Appalachian Center run their own labor programs, and their job descriptions may be found under their names: Brushy Fork Institute and Entrepreneurship for the Public Good.

I wanted to buy a XD9 subcompact ,but I wanted to rent one to try and see how it shoots before I buy one.
I have called a lot of shooting ranges that rent guns ,but they do not rent this model.
If anyone has this model I would pay you just to shoot some rounds at the range just to see how it feels.
I mean it's like buying a car without test driving it first, you might like it or not ,but you won't know unless you take it for a spin. Would be nice if gun dealers had a demo to shoot.
I live just west of Fort Lauderdale FL.

I am sure this isn't the first time this has been brought up but I was wondering how many ESB Fett's have added the one dark bolt on their armor for the cape? I know a lot of people are doing the one red topped collar stud, but how many are doing the dark stud since it only seems to show up in promotional pics? Just curious.

When I got it on the ocean I noticed the same effect, although of course it rode up and down the swells, but it still seemed to flatten smaller waves and continue on without losing the wind in the sails.
I attributed it to the modern almost straight, unsexy, uncurved, no sheer hull shape, but it's entirely possible the smallish wings did have some effect as well. The idea never crossed my mind, and I appreciate you pointing it out.
Must be my early childhood experiences, but I still seem fixated on deep, full keels on curvy boats as "stomach grabbing" beauty. I admit to lusting after boats shaped overall like a Contessa. I only bought the Hunter because it was close by, low priced, and had a trailer with broken brakes that could be wired and fixed. (OK, the fin keel/ full keel pages also made me curious.)
Sailing the Hunter was a very pleasant surprise. My first day on the ocean was also my first day with a GPS. Just a pocket model, had to change screens to see my speed (in MPH, not knots). With a theoretical hull speed of something like 5.9 knots, I was surprised to change screens and see I was going 6.2 MPH against a very strong tide between islands, tacking into the moderately brisk wind. Days later I found that the GPS had saved a trail and showed my top speed at 8.3 MPH. Further, the interior has no liner, just carpet glued to the hull. Almost no bilge. Sounds bad but actually makes it deep and spacious and comfortable for such a small boat. We stayed on it for a week, sailing on and off our anchor except for one very tight boat filled anchorage. I now actually like it a lot (coastal sailing). Just got it out of the water last weekend. Glad, because there is a possible huge storm coming at the end of Oct/start of Nov.
Re: Fin vs bulb vs wing keels
My wife was at the shack all day Saturday and she was a bit concerned about the weather we would have on the race. It was pretty damn nice actually. Much worse at the shack.
We had a really good race and got 2nd in class in a tubby, pilot house double ender that had a lot of bigger, more modern boats looking slow. I drove the boat harder than it had ever been driven according to the owner but I had a ball and the boat responded very well. The Carol Hassey sails were new and a good part of the key to out performance. All in all a satisfying day on the water.
Re: Fin vs bulb vs wing keels
We were chased back to our home port by a spout in earlier September by a waterspout off off Baltimores North Point on the nChesapeake Bay and the Patapsco River.
We had made our way back to the Bay that day from Cape May as it was the last day of our NE/ LI Sound trip and the wether had been threatening all day with TStorms. As we approached the Patapsco the clouds lowered, got greenish purple and we saw a funnel drop sideways out of the hook like looking cloud. It hit the water about a half a mile away, and we could hear the low rumble of it. We had our sails down and engine on ull blast as we saw it moving parallel with us for 5 minutes. We finally hit the river and were able to veer away as it continued SW.
That was close enough for me.
Re: Fin vs bulb vs wing keels
Not sure which would be worst, a water spout, or an actual cyclone/dust devil type thing. The water possibly, since water would should have more solid mass to it!

Re: Fin vs bulb vs wing keels
Did not know you were out there yesterday. Did you like that squall about 3pm or there abouts! about 1/3 of the fall regatta folks dropped out in the third race! Was real happy about our finish, only had three on board, could have used 2 others, got a 1st and 2nd, last a 5th........wore out the crew on that one, so went easy when the squall came thru, took them awhile to want to put the jib up, but once we did, could not catch the others in front......oh well, was afraid we would have a 3rd overall from that fiasco!
Sloop was packed afterwards last night too! Were you at the party?
Re: Fin vs bulb vs wing keels
Thanks and you are correct. But in all fairness that was a different time and money was more available for experiments like that. It was fun. We had fun. We all enjoyed the process and we all understood the results. We flew back to Seattle satisfied and feeling like we had learned something.
It's a different world today.
Ok, I deleted the rest of this post because it got political and if I thought you had any interest at all in my political opinions I'd think you were idiots. I know better.

I found your post about the two boats quite useful as I have often wondered the real performance difference between the two keels. It seemed a very well controlled test between two boats. Would be nice if all comparisons between boats was so well done.

We like the Bonefish Tarpon Trust because they have a cool sounding URL – tarbone.org – and because everything they do is driven by scientific research, and the desire to keep doing it.
So when Aaron Adams dropped a note about supporting the org's new membership drive, I'm all in.
They are now offering associate membership for $50 contributions. As Dr. Adams wrote:
"As always, the funds go to support BTT's research, conservation, and education. We are having monthly give-aways of gear (this month it's Howler Brothers), next month Cheeky, then Orvis,…. But best of all, the final drawing at the end of the year is a trip to Ascension Bay. And for people who join and renew at $100 of higher, there is a year-end raffle for a trip to Pesca Maya."

NFL Draft > 2010 Prospects > QB > Mike Kafka
Mike Kafka Scouting Report
|Northwestern Wildcats

|6'3 - 220 lbs.
2010 NFL Combine Results
|40-Yard Dash
|Vertical jump

|Three-cone drill
2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Mike Kafka, QB, Northwestern
Mike Kafka had a very productive year for the Wildcats. During his first three seasons, Kafka played in 17 games totaling 835 yards passing, 3 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, 592 yards rushing, and 3 rushing touchdowns. He took his game to a new level in 2010, tallying 3430 yards passing, 16 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and completing 64.8 percent of his passes. Kafka also added 295 yards on the ground and ran for 8 touchdowns. Kafka has some issues that scouts will want to address before the 2010 draft. He plays in a spread offense, so scouts will need to see him adjust to taking snaps under center. His arm strength is questionable, so how he throws the deep routes at the combine will go a long way in determining his draft stock. One thing Kafka does have going for him is his accuracy. He throws an accurate, catchable ball. The fact that he went to Northwestern should say a lot for his intelligence, which is key for quarterbacks in the NFL. Kafka is a late round pick, or could possibly go undrafted in 2010. Mike Kafka looked excellent at the East-West Shrine Game. It took some time for him to adjust to being under center, but his footwork looked good by the end of the week. He led the East team on a game winning drive, and finished the game 18 of 27 passing for 150 yards and a touchdown. He has worked his way into sixth round consideration, and could go higher if he performs well at the Combine.

Prediction: 5th Round
Kafka is a sleeper this year. he's a gutsy player with an above average arm and excellent mobility. He reminds me somewhat of Jeff Garcia. Has the value of a developmental third rounder.

I've made numerous guides, and even was on the OnRPG MMO team.
Yet now a days, no one even acknowledges my posts anymore, or even knows who I am!
I feel unwanted and hated by the community here now. I know I've had some new names on the board, but damn. I've grown up with this community, but now I feel like a forgotten child.
I took a little break from the forum and have come back completely unwanted.
Why do you guys hate me so?!
Does anyone even know who I am?!
I'm going to go cry in a corner now. My gamer peers don't want me anymore. D;! Where do I belong now?!

text: rdy-b, the existing colony was a swarm caught 3 mths ago, the two swarms came from areas about 50km apart, so not even cousins? Have had a good look and the lid, super etc all appears lined up, so I think the bees clustered on the exterior rear of the box must be from the existing colony. Assuming the previous sentence is correct, has anyone else struck this sort of thing when combining using newspaper. My thinking is that the attraction would either be the intruders on their patch, or the syrup in the super, which has a spoonful of honey in it (makes it more attractive to them? Dunno if it makes sense to the bees, but it does to me!).

July 14, 2014
A 20-point debut from second-round draft pick Jordan McRae and two trades involving Scotty Hopson highlighted an eventful weekend of NBA Summer League action for former Vols.
The Las Vegas portion of the NBA Summer League began Friday, and McRae's team, the Philadelphia 76ers, opened play Saturday night against the Utah Jazz.
McRae started for the Sixers and shared game-high scoring honors by pouring in 20 points.
Playing a game-high 33 minutes, the Midway, Ga., native was 10-of-12 from the free-throw line and also tallied three rebounds, two steals and a pair of big blocks in Philadelphia's 74-70 win.
McRae and the Sixers are back in action Monday when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers at 8 p.m. ET.
Hopson, who starred for the Vols from 2009-11, started and played 14 minutes in Cleveland's summer league opener Friday vs. Milwaukee. He scored seven points and grabbed one rebound in the winning effort.
But on Saturday, the Charlotte Hornets announced that they had acquired Hopson from the Cavs in a trade. Then on Sunday, Charlotte quickly dealt Hopson to the New Orleans Pelicans.
According to reports, the Hopkinsville, Ky., native could potentially be on the move again soon, with the Houston Rockets being a possible landing spot.
Hopson's former Tennessee teammate, forward Renaldo Woolridge (2009-12), is playing for the Los Angeles Lakers summer league team for the second straight year. He made his 2014 summer debut Sunday, grabbing one rebound in three minutes off the bench.
Woolridge and the Lakers are back in action Monday night at 10 p.m. ET, taking on the Golden State Warriors.

Build a tablescape
Start with slender but sturdy dried plant material from your garden or a craft or florists' supply store.
1. Select your base: a piece of plywood or wood, or a slate or terra-cotta floor tile.
2. Lay out a geometric hole pattern around the candle(s). For safety, ensure that nothing is too close to the flame.
3. Use an electric drill with a wood or masonry bit that is slightly smaller than the stems' diameter.
4. If holes are too small, whittle stems with a craft knife. Glue in place if desired.
5. Position candle(s); votives should be in glass surrounds, but larger candles can sit directly on base. Use long-necked gas igniters to light.
Here, tiny holes drilled into a slate tile make snug footings for 30-inch twigs.

Arsène Wenger thinks Arsenal can win the title if they add defensive solidity to their technical ability.
The Frenchman saw his team's Premier League campaign end with a whimper instead of a bang at Craven Cottage on Sunday as Theo Walcott's late goal salvaged a point in a 2-2 draw.
It certainly wasn't how Wenger envisaged the season ending a few weeks ago when Arsenal were fighting for the title - and especially not three months ago when Arsenal were challenging on four fronts.
The manager admits that his players have been affected by a string of setbacks since that Carling Cup Final defeat to Birmingham City in February but he believes he still has the nucleus of a title-winning squad.
"We have shown that we have the technical quality to win the league but certainly not the defensive solidity to do it," said Wenger.
"We have learned that we have the quality, despite what everybody is saying, but of course we need to gain some strength in some areas of the team.
"Mentally of course I hope that the team has learned a lot this season because we could not cope with the number of games nor the pressure in the important moments of the season.
"I felt they lost confidence and you can see that there has not been the same sharpness on the mental front. You never want to forget anything because it is as well the season that we produced our best games ever - but in the end it was difficult to get over the line.
"You could see that the disappointment of the team comes out in the recent games and the belief has gone down. Unfortunately the last disappointment [against Aston Villa] last week has cost us the third place."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

It is getting so hot, we're gonna have Shirt-Off.
It's unclear what the payoff is for this guy, but it sure is cute.
Wait, you said a Shirt.Woot-OFF? You didn't say, "Take your shirt off"? Oh my, this is so embarrassing! But you can understand the mistake, right? After all, they both involve the word "shirt" and the word "off." I mean, you don't just go around saying those two words without a guy taking his shirt off once in a while, am I right?
Why are my pants off? Well, I mean, if I'm taking my shirt off... C'mon!

text: Hello. I just started seeing a chiropractor for neck and lower back pain. It's a good chunk of money, even with my insurance covering a portion of the costs. I'm wondering what experiences others have had with chiropractors. Good, bad, neutral? What do you think about subluxation? I've been trying to research online, but there are so many mixed reviews out there.

Looking at the SS forums, the best drivers can get into the low 14's at 98-99 mph with a couple at 100. So if a bad driver in an STI runs into the better SS driver, the SS could win.
As in most cases the driver is potentially the variable to beware of.
ya and if the STi only has three wheels and the cobalt has a jet pack it could be a close race. if you wanna know which car is actually faster, especially stock, you can't take into acount bad driving / wacky what ifs. but in the real world, yes i suppose a cobalt being driven by none other than vin diesel could stand a chance against a blind man with no limbs driving an STi in reverse.
"90 miles an hour through trees sideways is pretty damn scary" ~Ken Block
The Cobalt guys seem to think that Evo's and STi's are slow. You can't be on a Cobalt forum without a new thread every day about how they're always murdering stock and modded Evo's and STi's. Cobalts, the new SRT-4s minus the horsepower.

I know the STI will easily win with all things equal, but I think part of the fun at the drag strip is watching faster cars get beat by slower cars with better drivers.

Alan Smith believes a couple of astute signings can turn Arsenal's potential into tangible reward.
Arsène Wenger's side finished 18 points adrift of champions Manchester United last season but the Frenchman revealed before the end of the campaign that he is in the market for "one or two experienced players" to bolster his talented squad.
Smith knows what it takes to win the title after playing a starring role in George Graham's championship triumphs of 1989 and 1991. The two-time Golden Boot winner would love to see Arsenal return to the Premier League summit next season and expects this summer's new arrivals to give them a fighting chance.
"There were periods last season in which they produced some outstanding football but they never looked like a title-winning team in my book," Smith told Arsenal.com.
"I suppose that was hammered home in the games against Manchester United in the Champions League and then Chelsea. They were just a bit short.
"There is so much talent, so much potential, but the mix isn't quite right at the moment. Everybody is telling Arsène Wenger that so I think it will be interesting to see who arrives in the summer, I think one or two will come in to give the squad a better balance.
"I would like to see a commanding stopper brought in," added Smith. "He doesn't need to be technically brilliant, but someone who can head balls away and command the box. It would be nice to see a holding midfielder too, someone to work alongside Cesc Fabregas when we need someone to sit there and break up the play."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Did you give them some eggs after the chook incident? That should mollify them somewhat.Is their deck at ground level or elevated? The code of practice recommends a 2m barrier between you and the neighbours, the 9 foot hedge will be fine provided their deck is not elevated to nearly that height or above.
They might not be flying but on a warm evening they might well be bearding, I wouldn't count on corking them.How was your chook a bad influence, did she teach them to use bad language or something?

Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has filed papers to take over the actor's bank account so she can collect the cash he allegedly owes her.
Brooke Mueller, the mother of Sheen's twin sons, claims the star is almost $90,000 behind in child support payments, and she wants to make sure he pays up.
Blatantly violating a gag order that prevented him from publicly discussing the case, Charlie Sheen took to Twitter to rant about the custody dispute between he and ex-wife Brooke Mueller.
On Friday, her brother Scott was granted temporary guardianship of the 4-year-old twins and will live with Brooke while caring for them.
Brooke Mueller was deemed unfit to care for her little boys, and now her brother Scott received temporary guardianship of her and Charlie Sheen's 4-year-old twins on Friday (November 8).
She's always stepped up to help Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's twins, but the four-year-olds are getting to be too much for Denise Richards.
They divorced about two years ago, but Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are unable to move on from the bitterness in their relationship.
They've always had a pretty tumultuous relationship, and it seems Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are once again at each other's throats.
The former "Two and a Half Men" star took to his Twitter account to criticize his ex-wife/mother of his sons Max and Bob, as well as the Department of Child and Family Services.
Details about Brooke Mueller's struggles with drug abuse reveal that she's had a harder time than most even suspected.
According to a RadarOnline source, the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen went to rehab twice while pregnant with twins Bob and Max.
It's been a rough time for Brooke Mueller as of late, as once again she's been abusing prescription drugs.
And the former Mrs. Charlie Sheen decided to check into a rehabilitation clinic to try and finally kick her demons once and for all.

Also they have different cards and so the rules are not the same. In American bingo a player is usually required to match the numbers in the card with those on the balls and this numbers create the picture. It can be some lines and different patterns. UK Bingo offers its player simply to cover the lines or cover the whole card. Look for more information if you would like to play bingo well and good luck to you!


text: The 100th editition of the race starts tomorrow with the team presentation and the racing begins this weekend in Corsica. Teams and riders are starting to arrive with boatloads of bikes arriving on the overnight ferries. The neverending doping stories diminish the allure a bit, but the real beauty of the race is in the wide range of stories and scenes set to unfold. The GC race will pit last year's runner up Froome, against former winner Alberto Contador, back after a doping suspension from what he claimed was beef tainted with clenbeuterol. Last year's winner, Bradley Wiggins, has been hampered by injuries and illness and won't be competing. Froome is supported by Richie Porte, who could make his own bid for the podium if Froome falters. Also contending is Radio Shack's Andy Schleck, who was declared a winner after Contador was stripped of one of his titles. Schleck seems large off form this year, perhaps due to the loss of older brother Frank who is sitting out this year due to a doping suspension. Outside contenders like Pierre Rollands who has twice finished in the top 10, and American Tejay Van Garderen who won the white jersey last year will be looking to improve on their finishes. Canada's Ryder Hesjedahl - winner of the Giro d'Italia last year - will lead Garmin, but his attempt to repeat at the Giro this year was hampered by illness and it's not clear he's in peak form. But the sprinters are sure to provide some excitement. Cavendish has been the top sprinter for some time, but expect some challenges this year from Peter Sagan who is especially strong with an uphill finish before the sprint. Greipel will also be looking to start the race strong and Cav sometimes is a slow starter for the Tour. The race starts with a sprint this year, so the first sprinter to make a statement should also get the first yellow jersey.
