Jay Ratliff's play at nose tackle has been a bright spot for the Cowboys over the years, but an injury helped cause him to play the lowest percentage of snaps in his career in 2011.
That led some people to wonder if they might get more out of Ratliff if they moved him to defensive end to limit the wear and tear on his body. The Cowboys have never indicated that they were moving in that direction and defensive line coach Brian Baker explained to Calvin Watkins of ESPN.com how they will try to keep Ratliff fresher this season.
"He will take all the third downs unless somebody proves they're a better pass rusher inside," Baker said. "Until that happens, if he's getting a little worn [down] we'll save him for third down."
The only flaw with the idea is that it would keep Ratliff off the field on first and second downs. That might not turn out to be a great problem, but the Cowboys would be wise to at least consider other configurations if it means keeping one of their best defenders on the field. The best thing of all for the Cowboys defense would be the emergence of another consistent source of pass rush beside Ratliff and DeMarcus Ware, but a healthy year from Ratliff isn't far behind.
Josh Brent and Sean Lissemore would stand to get more snaps if Ratliff does see fewer of them this season.

Messi goal saves Argentina against Iran
A stunning injury time strike from Lionel Messi spared Argentina's blushes as they qualified for the last 16 of the World Cup with a hard fought 1-0 win over Iran in Belo Horizonte.
Argentina had been thankful to three fine second-half saves from goalkeeper Sergio Romero just to be level heading into stoppage time, while Iran had also had a strong penalty appeal waved away when Pablo Zabaleta appeared to foul Ashkan Dejagah inside the area.
However, despite having endured a quiet game by his standards, Messi produced a moment of magic when his side needed it most to register his second goal of the tournament.
Argentina now lead Group F with maximum points from two games and will be confirmed as group winners should Saturday's late game between Nigeria and Bosnia Hercegovina fail to produce a winner.
However, after another underwhelming performance, Messi assured there is more still to come from his side
"We are not showing what we can do, but with a run of games I think we will get there.
"We are the first ones to know we have not reached the level we would like," said the Barcelona forward.
"They made the game very difficult for us," admitted Argentine boss Alejandro Sabella.
"Messi was marked very tightly, but he showed perseverance, patience, attitude and always looked for the goal. He never gave up."
– "It was a penalty" –
Iran coach Carlos Queiroz also praised Messi's match-defining contribution, but claimed his side had been undone by Serbian referee Milorad Mazic's decision not to award a penalty when his side were on top in the second-half.
"Messi was fantastic, but the referee wasn't," said the former Real Madrid coach.
"I don't understand it, he had to have seen it was a penalty. He was five metres away, there is no way he couldn't have seen it.
"I have the right to say this and I only hope I am now not punished for telling the truth."
Sabella had resorted to the 4-3-3 system preferred by Messi with the four-time World Player of the Year joined by Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero in attack.
However, despite enjoying the vast majority of possession in the first-half, La Albiceleste struggled to create chances from open play against a well-organised Iranian defence.
The first opening fell to Higuain from a fine pass by Fernando Gago, but Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Haghighi bravely smothered the ball at the Napoli striker's feet.
Angel di Maria and Messi, from a free-kick, then fired over from the edge of the area. Argentina were having some joy from set-pieces and Marcos Rojo and Ezequiel Garay should have done better when they failed to hit the target from close range from fine deliveries by Messi.
Iran were also dangerous from set-pieces, though, and they could even have gone ahead before the break when Jalal Hosseini headed just over from a corner.
It was the Asian side who threatened again at the start of the second period as Reza Ghoochanneijhad forced a fine low save from Romero with a flashing header at the near post, before Dejagah's appeals for a penalty were turned down when he tumbled in the area under pressure from Zabaleta.
Messi then had his first clear chance of the game as he raced onto Javier Mascherano's pass but curled the ball just wide of the target.
Romero was forced to come to his side's rescue again moments later when he got fingertips to a fine header from Dejagah to turn the ball behind and the Monaco stopper denied Reza once more as Iran threatened to nick all three points on the counter-attack two minutes from time.
Instead it was Argentina who snatched victory at the last as Messi created the half yard of space he needed on the edge of the area before leaving Haghighi with no chance as he curled the ball just inside the far corner with his favoured left foot.

This is a photo of my dad, brother and I in Siberia, Russia seconds after I was baptized in July 2008.
I have distinct memories of my Dad leaving for a month, every summer, to go on a mission trip to Russia. For years he would come back with a beard and tell stories, show pictures and videos of his trip. I always thought it was so cool and knew that I would want to join him one day. It was my second year of college that I decided I really wanted to go with him on the trip and I decided to start selling shirts to raise money. So, I designed 100 royal blue shirts and sold them for $10 a piece to raise money. The next year I sold more tees to go back to Russia, and did the same thing again the following year. Those three trips have been the foundation on which walk in love. has been built and if it weren't for my Dad I would have never gone on them.
My Dads love for Jesus is why walk in love. exists. It is his passion and dedication to tell people about Jesus that inspired me to start walk in love. My Dad tells people about Jesus in all different ways, but his favorite way is through sports camps, which is what the trips to Russia are based around. My favorite way is through shirts, art and design- which I have been able to build walk in love. around.
I am not a Dad yet, but I hope that when that day comes I can be as inspiring to my children as my Dad has been to me. I hope that all the dads or future dads reading this will be inspired by my Dad as well. To live a life that will inspire.
To those dads out there that are inspiring their children daily - Thank you and Happy Fathers Day!

Banner rotator
Orçamento $100-300 USD
I need a banner rotation script (well possibly two)
The script would preferably be written in php, and may use an sql database if needed.
I need the ability to run the smaller 180*100 size banners in the rotator and it must be 100% random
It must be capable of showing jpg, gif, and all manner of images.
I need it to be able to accept both, a timeframe or impression entry (setup banenr ad to last set number months, years, or X number of impressions)
Logins for clients with click through statistics would also be handy, but not essential (I understand this would make a difference in price so please quote both options?)
An admin control panel must be available to add or edit customers banners/impressions or times if this is installed)
I also need the same script for a 168*60 banner rotator.
Now, to give you an idea of what it is going to be used for so you may know somethign I have left out is this.
A friend of mine has built the following html site for himself at [url removed, login to view] and I want something similar (I wont list exact details) But I need the banner rotator for an application similar to this where I can enter banner details into one easy to use interface rather than hard coding each page.
I hope this gives enough information as to my requirements. I would also expect that the script is without bugs and if any errors or bugs are encountered that it is fixed promptly and included in the quoted price.
Additionally if the allocated budget is not enough then please let me know? I may be prepared to pay more if required.

text: Once upon a time there was a man who got up every day and went to work. He had different jobs for various seasons during the year. He had a family of five children and a wife who worked day and night to make sure that money from here and money from there put food on the table and shoes on fourteen feet. The man was strong and full of adventure. The woman was small and determined. The man and the woman loved each other and got through the hard times somehow. The man and the woman were married for 56 years before she died. At 85 years of age and missing her for ten years, the man was now facing his last days on the land that was his, in the house that was theirs. One of the privileges of working with High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care is being able to hear the stories of our patients lives. Nurses while changing dressings and repositioning patients in their beds listen while memories of a loved one spill out. Social workers in the midst of making sure that final arrangements are being made, hear about the adventure of the last hunting excursion or the pride of getting that great job. Volunteers who spell caregivers hear a whispered Ive never told anyone about this before but That but is just as important to hear as it is to tell. The volunteers listen very carefully. I havent a clue as to how my story will end. But thats all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you dont conclude the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars? The care of the body is one part of hospice care. The care of the soul and the spirit are just as vital. Once upon a time is your story.

With new drama Nashville looming on the horizon, ABC whets viewers' appetites for country music with the three-hour CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock (Monday at 8/7c), a compilation of performances culled from the annual gathering of country fans in Music City this past June. Think of it as Comic-Con with cowboy boots. Eric Church, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert and co-host Luke Bryan are among those performing. We caught up with Luke to talk about his CMA Fest memories.
TV Guide Magazine: Do you remember your first CMA Music Festival, as a fan?
Bryan: Yes! We sat in the parking lot, tailgated, came in and had a good time watching Martina McBride, Trace Adkins.... That was in 2004.
TV Guide Magazine: What sets CMA Fest apart from other genres' festivals?
Bryan: There is no other genre that offers the artists to the fans quite like this. If you're a fan and you want to live the country-music experience, come to Nashville and walk the streets where all the bars are. Immerse yourself in the town. We as artists love it. We get to kiss our babies, kiss our mamas, and then come back here and be with the fans.
TV Guide Magazine: You're singing and hosting this year. Are you comfortable on camera?
Bryan: Oh, yeah. I think all of it is about being prepared. I've done a lot of stuff at this point, and it's just about being savvy about it. We knew who we were going to interview, and we created some great questions.
TV Guide Magazine: At the recent CMA Awards nominations, your album Tailgates & Tanlines garnered an album of the year nod, and you also received a male vocalist of the year nomination. Excited?
Bryan: It's amazing to be in this body with all that's happening now! It's like it's not even happening to me.
TV Guide Magazine: This being TV Guide, what do you watch when you're on tour?
Bryan: SportsCenter and Duck Dynasty. Me and Willie Robertson [of Duck Dynasty] are really close. We own Buck Commander together, so I'm so excited for them.

My dad is the man I admire most in the world. He taught me how to treat everyone with respect, to always root for the underdog, and to throw a mean spiral. He also taught me that Father's Day presents don't have to be complicated. A hug, a card, or a tie (he still has the one he is wearing in the above photo) are always appreciated. With that in mind, here are seven gifts that are dad-approved.
Wise Old Pops Stationery Set from Mr. Boddington's Studio
What's better than getting real mail? Getting real mail from your dad! Encourage him to put pen to paper with this stylish stationery set from Mr. Boddington's Studio. Extra credit for including stamps!
$22.00 for a box of 8
Upgrade Dad's smartphone by giving him a suite of new apps. Here are five to consider:
• iHandy Level (Free) -- Just like an actual level, this virtual one will let Dad tinker to his heart's delight.
• SAS Survival Guide ($6.99) -- A sun compass, a list of edible and poisonous plants, and a comprehensive first aid guide ensures that Dad will be ready for anything... as long as he has WiFi.
• 18,000 Cool Jokes ($0.99) -- This app is a gentle way to let Dad know that it's time for some new material.
• How to Tie a Tie (Free) -- With over 11 different knot options, this free app uses easy-to-follow instructions and diagrams to shake up Dad's sartorial routine.
• Weber's on the Grill App ($4.99) -- Dad tells the app what kind of meat he's cooking and the app will set a timer to let Dad know when to flip the meat or take it off the grill.
Jeni's Ice Cream: Father's Day Collection
Packed with dry ice and shipped to your door at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit, Jeni's Ice Cream will win Dad over for its flavor and its really neat packaging. What's more? Jeni's Father's Day Collection, which features flavors like Whiskey & Pecans and Plum Sake Sorbet, is guaranteed to elevate your status to "Dad's-all-time-most-favorite-child" for life.
$48.00 for 4 pints
Offspring or tech support? If your parents are over 65, there's a good chance that you are both. This year for Father's Day, why not consider upgrading Dad's television viewing experience with Roku? The small device allows Netflix, Hulu, and thousands of other shows and movies to play on the television screen of his choice.
Murray's Cheese Class: "The Harmony of Beer and Cheese"
Yes, we all know that wine pairs well with cheese. But did you know that beer can be an excellent accompaniment too? The famed Murray's Cheese shop champions the marriage of hops and fromage in their course "The Harmony of Beer and Cheese." Sign Dad up and he may never look at a cheese doodle quite the same way again.
Etro Pocket Square
Add a touch of luxury to Dad's wardrobe with Etro's classic pocket squares. Admittedly, $77.00 for 18 inches of fabric isn't financially sensible. But if Dad did the math on how much it would cost to raise you, it wouldn't have made much sense either.
85 Foot Inflatable Military Obstacle Course
When it comes to putting together gift guides, I can't resist a good fantasy gift. This year, Hammacher Schlemmer's Inflatable Military Obstacle Course is my choice for the ultimate over-the-top Father's Day present. Equipped with four air pumps, the massive 85 foot structure inflates in ten minutes and provides a full boot camp experience for your backyard. Yes, it does look a little like the "bouncy castles" that are popular on the 5 year-old birthday circuit. But with "hedgehog" drills, portholes and a 16-foot rope swing, this is no day at Chuckie Cheese.

High school mountain biking took off this weekend in Park City as the new Utah High School Cycling League kicked off its inaugural season with more that 280 riders at Round Valley.
The new league – a chapter of the nationwide National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) – is already among the largest in the country. Rider counts at the first race rivaled that of established chapters in California and Colorado.
Riders were broken into freshman, sophomore, junior varsity and varsity divisions to tackle the 4.5-mile loop in the Round Valley area east of Park City. Top honors in the varsity division went to Park City High School's Brenna Egan and South Davis Composite's Zach Peterson, who raced three and four laps, respectively (full results for riders and teams).
Thirty-three teams from around the state were represented at the kick-off race, plus a handful of independent riders.
Founded in 2009 in California and now covering six states and rapidly growing, NICA was created with the core principles of developing strong body, strong mind and strong character through efforts on a bike. Events have divisions for freshman, junior varsity and varsity athletes with top riders qualifying for regional and national championship races. Additional leagues are already scheduled to join the organization, and NICA is aiming for coast-to-coast participation by 2020.
The Utah High School Cycling League's next race is September 22 at Sherwood Hills Resort between Brigham City and Logan, before heading back to the Salt Lake area with events on Oct. 6 in Alpine and the state championship Oct. 20 at Soldier Hollow in Midway.

|1,245 sq ft
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This is a Luxury 2 bedroom , 2 bath, fully air-conditioned apartment located in central Colombo. It is fully furnished and has running hot and cold water, living room/dining room, fully equipped kitchen and even a balcony. Linen, towels, soap, toilet paper and crockery are provided as is Internet/Wi-fi* service. The use of the Swimming pool, the Gym and Parking space for 1 car is included in the rental. It is very centrally located - walking distance to the US, UK and Indian embassies. A Mall with Shops, Supermarket and Food Court are located in the basement. It is also walking distance to the Galle Face Green and Fort area - for business and pleasure plus Nightclubs and nightlife. It is in the Cinnamon Grand Hotel complex and all Hotel facilities such as world class restaurants and the Coffee Shop are available to all guests. We are a family run business and try to make all our Guests very welcome, happy and comfortable.
Utilities (electricity) are not included. Each guest pays for what he/she uses.The electricity charge per unit is LKR 32.00. This is how much we are billed per unit by Crescat Management and we do not make any money off this. Guests can pay at the end of their stay... the day of departure - in LKR.
This is NOT a serviced apartment.
*Re Internet use: Guest is allowed 1GB of Internet usage per day.
My wife and I are singers - born in Sri Lanka and now living in New York City. We own this apartment and manage it as well. Our son, Dinuke, is based in Sri Lanka and takes care of all the day to day activities regarding the apartment as well as welcome the guest/s when they arrive. We both grew up in Sri Lanka, went to school, still have our respective families living there and we visit our homeland often. Eventually we hope to retire back home.
We first came over with our music and lived in London, England (where Dinuke was born). Having performed in various venues in England and Scotland we moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. There we met Harry Belafonte who invited us to come to New York City. Ever since we have been singing and acting here in the US and continue to do so.
Prianga Pieris purchased this apartment in 2003
We bought this property, or rather Dinuke, because of its central location. He had researched many locations and many apartment buildings and felt that the Crescat Residencies was unique - the location, the amenities, the proximity to Embassies, the Fort area, the Galle Face Green, beaches, markets, shops, malls, transport facilities, etc., and above all the solid structure of the building itself. The rooms are large and the ceilings high.
We were met by the friendly and helpful custodian Pradeep who showed us around and helped us move in. The apartment was very clean and and well stocked. In addition to pots pans linen and cutlery we were pleasantly surprised to find tea, coffee and sugar etc. Its close proximity to the Coffee shop and other amenities at Cinnamon Grand is a huge plus! Will definitely revisit and recommend.
First of all thanks to Mr. Prianga for all his efforts to make our stay enjoyable.
Most of all we liked that there was space and light also quiet enough. Combined with location, next to premium services starting from the lobby and friendly staff.
Though there was separate aironditioning in each room, we kept windows open all the day for fresh air. Somehow
the carpeted floors causes leeking nose and itching eyes.
Reading lights could have been brighter beside the bed an we considered electriccity quite expensive, more than 30 dollars for four nights, especially that we even didn't cook at all.
It is located within the Cinnamon Grand Hotel complex and all restaurants, bars and the Coffee Shop of the Cinnamon Grand are available. It is most centrally located with the US, UK and Indian Embassies within a 5-10 minute walk. The Fort area for shopping is 10 minutes by taxi or tuk tuk (and so is the Fort Railway Station). One cannot find a more central location for everything including Nightlife, Hotels and Clubs. An International Food Court , Keels Supermarket and many shops are located in the basement. The Galle Face Green , the Swimming Club, the Scots Kirk Church is only a 5 minute walk from Crescat Residencies.
Kindly note that Electricity is NOT included. Guest will get a meter reading at the beginning of their stay and again, at the end. The guest will then pay for the electricity that he/she has consumed. Guest can pay this in LKR.
* Approximate monthly price. Actual pricing will depend on the days of the month you stay.

And for the not so wordless part of today's post!
☜We go Yoda one of these comfort halters this past weekend. The vet recomended one since Yoda gets irritation and infections from her other halter rubbing her little arm pits. Yes, my dog gets pit infections and need special arm pit only baths with special arm pit soap (we tell her it's because she has stinky pits). So, what, doesn't every dog need this?!?!?! That's not weird at all. Stop judging!
Anyway, her new halter is probably the funniest thing in the world. She looks like she's got a little pink tank top on. I can't wait to get some pictures to share with you. It really is adorable (even if J said he refuses to take her for a walk wearing it).

It didn't take long for Severna Park field hockey coach Lil Shelton to recognize Katie Woodcock's vast potential.
Try at first glance.
"I knew one day she was going to be great when she first came in," Shelton said.
Woodcock never was finer than during this past season, when she assumed a myriad of responsibilities and led the Falcons to within one game of a state championship. And for her efforts, the senior center-back was named The Anne Arundel County Sun Player of the Year.
South River's Laura Garner was selected Coach of the Year after resuscitating a dying program and taking the Seahawks to the region playoffs.

changing my shocks and lowering my n15 hatch this weekend and want to know what shocks are best.
changing my shocks and lowering my n15 hatch this weekend and want to know what shocks are best.
Coilovers or changing shocks/springs?
changing shocks and springs
thinking kyb shocks and king springs 30mm drop
1) Cost. They're not cheap as you have to order them from the USA and our dollar sucks.
2) They only made them for the Series 1 chassis. This doesn't mean they won't fit, it just means you have to buy Series 1 springs as well, even if you have a Series 2 (the spring seats are different heights).
For springs, king lows are good for a 30mm drop, but the spring rates are awful (however, they will still actually handle quite well. I used them for over a year and had no complaints. When I say the spring rates are awful, I mean they're far from the ideal for our cars, as in the ideal that was landed on by some very intelligent people for spirit street and minor track driving). I went into King Springs on the Gold Coast before I moved and from memory the guy told me they were something like 2.9kg front, 3.1kg rear. Stiffer in the rear is just retarded, but apparently it mirrors the stock setup in terms of bias. Mike Kojima along with some other extremely intelligent people at an F1 suspension manufacturer did a lot of testing and came up with 5.3kg front and 3.8kg rear as the ideal spring rates for the B14(N15) chassis. Roadmagnet make a set of springs close to this for a decent price, but again, they're from the US so our dollar sucks. If you don't mind spending the money and want a very good spring/shock combo, the KYB AGX and Roadmagnet combo is the second best rated on the SR20Forum suspension post, beaten by the KYB AGX + Hyperco combo, that you cannot buy as the Hyperco wre only available in a 300+ person group buy, or second hand. Good luck with that!

Tried for years to get a set of RoadMangets (always missed the Group Buys) from the USA. Everytime a set came up, they sold so fast and the sellers didn't want to ship to AUS.
I must be getting old...
My Pedders XA's are getting a little too stiff for me, even on the softest setting... that or they need to be rebuilt.
So I'm looking for a little more stock, but with a slight drop (I do love my current height though )
Apparently Road Magnet is out of business now and HyperCo's are hard to come buy... but on the off chance there is some floating around second hand, what model numbers/size/spring rates should I be looking for?
If either of these are unobtainable, which they most likely will be, what is the next best?
Are they KYB AGX's still considered the ideal for the N15 SSS?
Model number(s) for KYB AGX's also?
Absolute UNOBTAINIUM are those springs. I tried for well over 2 years to get a set and the stupid yanks either wouldn't sell them overseas, or they sold before i got a chance to buy.
AGX's are old old now, but still probably one of the better straight replacement dampers, but the end issue/result/problem is that you run out of travel when you go lower and they were designed for Series 1 springs (as opposed to the Series 2 springs which are more common in Australia, different spring length and stuff).
If your Pedders aren't leaking, but just getting a bit harsh then maybe some fresh oil and a regas would probably sort them out. But cost and hassle wise might be easier to just replace with some BC Gold ordered with lower spring rates like 5/4 instead of the 8/6 they're provided with.
If you're considering dropping some coin on the car, some " MCA Blue " setup for street comfort would probably be good money spent as well.
I might try them again tomorrow, unless there is someone else I should/could be calling?
Does BC still do a "Gold"... I couldn't see it:
I don't really want to spend any money on it, but I'll do what must be done!If you're considering dropping some coin on the car, some " MCA Blue " setup for street comfort would probably be good money spent as well.
Well, I spoke with another Pedders store today...
The quoted $740 for the inserts + $240 fitting..
MCA got back to me.. they do not have any products for the N15.
Anyone have an opinion on Shockworks?
MCA absolutely DO make them for the N15, one of the guys in QLD has bought a set and has them on his car, i believe his car was the test vehicle for them.
What inserts was pedders quoting on ?

The union representing rank-and-file Los Angeles Police Department cops on Wednesday decried a U.S. district court ruling that severely limits officers' use of Tasers to subdue suspects.
The decision, states the Los Angeles Police Protective League, "has us scratching our heads in disbelief." The U.S. Ninth Circuit court of appeals ruled that "unless an officer is actually under physical attack, he/she cannot use a Taser to subdue a suspect," the LAPPL states. "And, for good measure, these starry-eyed jurists, who probably have never been in a physical fight in their lives, opined that police officers should not fear irrational suspects defying officer commands as long as the suspect stays 15 feet from the officer."
Needless to say, the union is feeling hamstrung by the ruling, which observers say will open the door to lawsuits by suspects who have been Tasered by cops. Amnesty International reports that, between 2001 and 2008, 334 people have died as a result of the strong, electrical pulses from Tasers.

The court case involves the 2005 stop of a then 21-year-old named Carl Bryan in Colorado. The man was wearing only boxer shorts and tennis shoes and was swearing at himself for forgetting to fasten his seatbelt when he exited his car during a traffic stop. Police said he ignored orders to stay in the car.
And, at a distance of 15 feet or more, he took a step toward a cop (Bryan denies it) and was subsequently Tasered. The suspect fell on his face and suffered broken teeth as a result. He was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, but charges were dropped. The Ninth Circuit court's decision affirms his right to sue.
"As every street cop knows, any suspect within 15 feet who is actively resisting verbal commands is a threat to officer safety," the union states. " ... Inhibiting officers from using the Taser option puts them, suspects and innocent bystanders in greater danger."
The LAPPL opines that the only good thing about the ruling is that Judge Stephen Reinhardt, who it says had another ruling overturned as a result of "fabricated facts," was involved and might provide fodder for another U.S. Supreme Court overruling.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (B)
Hydrocarbons, verified by high-temperature Micro-FTIR,are found to be included by the same anorthite and labradorite megacrysts containing native coppers, as described in Part 1, in basaltic rocks, from Japanese island arc and in the westem continental margin of North America, respectively. A finding of Muntz metal (Cu_<60> Zn_<40> ) within the anorthite megacryst offerred the establishment of Hume-Rothery's rule in nature. Concerning the genesis of native coppers coexistent with the hydrocarbon, the exsolution model fortified by their purity and oriented distribution has been suggested and can account for crystal growth of native coppers based on the theory of Ostwald ripening. While continental margins and lsland arcs have geological and tectonical backgrounds common to each other, remarkable difference in morphology between fractured labradorites and euhedral anorthites seems to flare up in the power of the volcanic eruption. Moreover it proved that the corroded olivines within anorthite megacrysts hereupon have also a trace amount of hydrocarbons, detection of which discloses that the magmas crystallizing these anorthite and olivines contained the same hydrocarbons. Fe/Mg ratio of the corroded olivines, Sr-content and Sr-isotope ratio of anorthite megacrysts typical of arc-volcanism in Japan afford the lateral variations from the Japan trench to the Back arc side, and their geochemical behavior witnesses the rapid crystallization of anorthite megacrysts and their corroded olivines in close association with the crust components and the slabsediments subducted beneath the island arc.

As a safe, responsible construction worker, you understand the dangers of your work site. You take the proper precautions, wear the right safety equipment and never take unnecessary risks that violate site safety protocols. Unfortunately, you can still end up suffering a significant injury while on the job, even though you did everything right.
The most common causes of construction site accidents include employer negligence, defective equipment, unsafe conditions, and ineffective safety management. Statistically, falls account for nearly half of all construction site accidents. Other leading causes include transportation accidents, exposure to toxic or harmful substances, contact with objects or equipment, and defective products or machinery.

Wine Country Real Estate
Sonoma Valley: Birthplace of the California Wine Industry
Tranquil Sonoma Valley rests between the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountains approximately one hour by car north of San Francisco. It runs from San Pablo Bay on the south, to the city of Santa Rosa on the north. Once home to Miwok, Pomo and Wintun peoples, the valley saw wine grapes planted by Franciscan missionaries during the first quarter of the 19th century. Those modest plantings were followed by vineyards of French varietals, and the founding of Sonoma County's first two wineries:Buena Vista in 1857 and GundlachBundschu in 1858.Today, Sonoma Valley is home to more than 100 wineries and vineyards.
The town of Sonoma, incorporated in 1883, was a bustling community by 1845. Soon, smaller communities in the Valley were increasing in population and popularity. Agua Caliente and Boyes Hot Springs were attracting visitors from San Francisco eager to partake of their mineral baths, and Kenwood was established as a train stop. Glen Ellen would become the location of "Beauty Ranch," the dream retreat of famed writer Jack London.
Sonoma Valley Real Estate
Sonoma Valley is a treasure trove of highly desirable real estate, including homes, wineries, vineyards, vineyard estates and more.Charming late 19thto mid-20th century cottages and bungalows, Mid-century modern and ranch-style family abodes, and newer and larger residences grace the quiet streets of the valley's towns. The countryside along picturesque Highway12 (Sonoma Highway) hosts public and private roads leading to impressive homes and fabulous estates; often complemented by vineyards abundant with premium wine grapes during the growing season.
Napa Valley: Synonymous with Premium Wine, Food, Spas and Lifestyle
Yountville and Rutherford: two of the wine world's iconic communities were named after two of the Napa Valley's founding fathers, George C. Yount, possibly the first Anglo-Saxon settler in the Valley, and Thomas Rutherford who married Yount's daughter and became a respected winegrower. Prior to that in Napa Valley, the town of Napa was founded in 1847. The communities of Oakville, Calistoga and St. Helena followed. Although all were settled for different reasons, none were founded based on the (not yet existent) wine industry. In those times, the primary industries were mineral mining, farming and visitors to the county's hot springs spas.
It wasn't until 1859 that John Patchett opened Napa Valley's first winery, in an area that is now within the town of Napa. Wine icon Charles Krug followed in 1861 with a winery north of St. Helena. Today, the wine and related tourist industries rule the Napa Valley's economy. There are over 400 wineries and thousands of acres of premium wine grape vineyards.
Napa Valley Real Estate
Napa Valley real estate includes some of the finest homes and estates in North America. Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail are not only lined with lanes and driveways leading to world-class wineries. Some of them point the way to magazine-worthy multi-million-dollar estates serving as home-base or homes away from home for titans of technology and other businesses, celebrities, and others well-known and well-heeled. Many of these properties are wine estates, hosting vineyards of all sizes. Architecture runs the gamut, from traditional Tudor to Modernist. The Valley also accommodates more modest multi-acre properties, with ranch- and Mid-century modern-style homes. The largest towns – Napa, St. Helena and Calistoga – offer neighborhood streets lined with charming cottages and bungalows, historic Victorians, and newer condominiums.

Could Île-Perrot towns merge? Mayor floats idea
Pincourt Mayor Yvan Cardinal has a vision for the future of his town: it could be part of a one-island, one-city in Île-Perrot, if it is the will of the people.
"For sure we'll have to talk about one city on the island, but that will have to come from the citizens," he said. "To get the expansion that we're trying to do by ourselves, we have to get the co-operation of everyone and work together."
With a tax base dependent on 90 per cent residential properties, Cardinal feels that Pin-court would benefit from joining other municipalities with more commercial development.
"To put something in the budget, it has to come from more than just the citizens. It must come from commercial zones," he said.
A merger of Île-Perrot municipalities is not a new concept. The idea has been bandied about in the past but not everyone is in favour.
"Personally, I'm not sure that it would have a great economic value," said Pincourt councillor John Kinnear. He is also concerned that Pincourt would lose its official bilingual status if a merger were to go ahead.
He concurred that a merger would only be realized if it was something residents themselves wanted.
For a municipality that once faced bankruptcy in the 1970s, Pincourt has not only survived, it has thrived.
As Pincourt council prepares to table its budget for 2013, financial reports show a $2.5-million surplus for 2011.
In the last four years alone, the population has increased by 27 per cent, the second-largest population boom off-island behind Vaudreuil-Dorion, which saw a 29-per-cent increase.
In spite of the spike in new residential development putting additional strain on local infrastructure, Cardinal said it wasn't too much of a challenge considering that the services and programs grew along with it.
Pincourt will be releasing its three-year social development plan in January, which address some of the issues raised by residents, like social housing, transportation, and programs for young adults and seniors, during the public consultations in June.
Some of the biggest challenges Pincourt will face is how to develop services and programs catering to an aging population as well as the youth. According to demographics, the average age in Pincourt is 37 years old.

I love the idea of giving personalized gifts. I think personalized gifts are a great way to tell someone you love them, and 5amily.com has an array of products you can give to the ones you love for any occasion.
Personalize Coffee Mug
When I saw this mug, I knew immediately I wanted it. First off finding anything that says Nana on it is difficult, and my mom is definitely not a grandma. So buying her personalized stuff from the kids isn't easy. Her birthday is coming up so we got this coffee mug and I love it.
Happiness Mama Tote
This adorable tote bag says "Happiness is being a mama" which is not only true but something I love. The bag is made of a canvas material which is another thing that tickles my fancy. I love stuff made out of canvas. The print is bold and bright, and sure to catch people's eye when you are out on the go. Best part is that it costs less than $25.00
I'm A Canadian Shirt
What's your superpower? I love this shirt. It's not the only size or color either. You can personalize the shirt even more but overall it rocks for say Canada Day which is coming up in a few months.
Cell Phone Cases
This is one of my favorites. Cell Phone cases you can customize with your name or profession. I love this one about being a mom. It's unique and easy to create.
Speaking of easy to create 5amily's website is super easy to use. Customization is also easy using quick forms asking questions like your sign, profession, favorite sports or animals you love and so forth. Plus everything is way cheap to order and comes at a speedy pace when it comes to delivery.
So if you are looking for some personalized gift option. Take a peek at 5amily and see if there is something you or a family member might like. They always have discount codes for you to use or special daily pricing. You can't go wrong!

Where Wine Snobs and Anti-Corporate Farmers Agree
The two poles of biodynamic farming in the U.S. at first sight seem hard to reconcile – wine snobs and anti-capitalist farmers.
But both are suspicious of organic farming and like to invest soil with what they often claim are spiritual qualities, Novella Carpenter, an organic farmer, writes in the left-leaning Mother Jones. Biodynamic farming grew from the ideas of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, who believed in a benevolent cosmic cycle between farm animals, humans and crops. In practice, this means avoiding tractors and using composted preparations from materials like dandelions and the quartz from animal horns.
The approach has been well-known in Europe since the 1970s, but has only caught on in the U.S. recently. For those who feel organic farming has sold out to corporations, biodynamic farming is sometimes seen as the last anti-capitalist redoubt. Small-scale producers hew to strict rules and distribute their yields through networks of subscribers, bypassing health-food stores or even some local farmers' markets.
In the wine world, organic farming has a reputation for producing mediocre results. (Although not all organic wines are bad). The more extreme biodynamic farming's theories square nicely with the traditional notion that land cultivation techniques over decades determine the wine's flavor. Biodynamic soil specialists who say things like "the grape is a truly cosmic plant" fit right in and are eagerly courted. The biodynamic Napa Valley Araujo Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 recently earned a 91 from Wine Spectator and sells for $215 a bottle. — Robin Moroney

Honestly, I can not think of anything worse than holiday shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Raking the leaves in my parents' one acre sized yard last month or even doing this 2010's taxes seem more appealing than getting stuck in Black Friday shopping crowds. Luckily, today's modern and technologically advanced world now offers us an alluring alternative to shopping amongst the mobs of sale hungry lunatics on Black Friday; it is what has become known as Cyber Monday.
Cyber Monday's online sales events only date back 6 years. It may be a newer concept in lieu of traditional holiday shopping, but it is has begun to give Black Friday a run for its money. According to Coremetrics, an online marketing research company, sales from Cyber Monday 2010 were 19.4 % higher than 2009's. Even more impressive than this is that Cyber Monday's 2010 revenue surpassed Black Friday's by 31.1 %. So, why should you forgo Black Friday? Read on to find out.
Save Time
You don't have to sit in traffic that has backed up to the next city or town. There will be no circling the parking lot for the 3rd and 4th time in search of a parking space. What about those lovely 20 people deep checkout lines? There are no lines in cyber space! All you have to do is sit back in your own comfy office chair and click away.
Cyber Monday Sales
Just like Black Friday, Cyber Monday's main attractions are its sales. There are websites, such as cybermonday.com, that have not only compiled a significant list of major cyber retail businesses by category, but these sites feature lists of the leading online company promotions; you can do side by side sales comparisons. If this is not enticing enough, cybermonday.com will automatically show the prices of a single product from several online retailers at one time. Simply enter a search term, let's say "Mp3," into the website's search engine to get a list of Mp3 players available for purchase online. You will see the names of the cyber companies selling this specific item and a "compare prices" button to see the individual Mp3 player prices for each vendor. A large percentage of these online retailers are not only offering excellent Cyber Monday discounts on their goods but are also providing their customers with free shipping.
Shipping Time and Return Policy Concerns
Before clicking that checkout button and entering your payment information for a gift, be sure to read the company's shipping and returns information. If you are not given the ability to track your purchase's delivery online, say through UPS or FedEx, consider buying that item with another online business. If the return policy is convoluted, once again, look elsewhere for an online retailer that has straightforward exchange/refund terms. In my opinion, the ideal exchange/returns policies you should be looking for include these services free via mail, or better yet giving the customer the option of being able to walk into the retail store locally to return/exchange an item.
Shopping Online can be "Green"
The environmentally friendly aspect of shopping online is that there is no need to drive anywhere. This means that you save money on gas and personally consume zero fuel. Another way to think of the online purchase delivery process is as a sort of holiday gift "car pooling." Companies will be sending their products in large grouped shipments, not individually. This is, of course, only one perspective on this topic.
Gift Ideas
Do you have that impossible to shop for friend or family member? Are you hoping that browsing through the crowded store isles will enlighten you with gift ideas? Save yourself the time and frustration, check out gifts.com. This site has a search engine to browse products by your relation to the recipient, the occasion and the price range you desire. Are you still uncertain about what to get this hard to buy for person? There is a "Personality Profiler" tool on gifts.com. Take a quick and fun quiz to pull up unique gifting options based on the quiz results.
Support Privately Owned Business
I am adding this very important amendment to this blog as this was brought to me attention by a reader who left me a comment in regards to online shopping only benefiting large corporations. Thank you!  You can absolutely support local and not so local independently owned businesses by shopping online.  Small business owners are savvy, and they have been using the internet to their advantage.  Why shouldn't they when so many social media sites are free?  I make it a point to like all my favorite independently owned businesses in Portland, ME on my facebook. The unique and personalized gifts that can be purchased at these shops are integral to our communities and the economy. Many business owners are cleverly offering the option to purchase their gift cards online. Not only can I buy a gift card online from my Portland, ME beloved shops, but I can purchase a gift card for a good friend's choice local store  in, say, Richmond, VA.
I can tell you where I will not be Friday, November 25th of this year and that will be out shopping! The chaotic, aggressive crowds at shopping centers across the U.S. on Black Friday are ridiculous enough to give me a panic attack. I will be doing my shopping online in the comfort of my own home this year, thank you very much. While you are doing your online shopping this holiday season, secure your holiday travel plans at the same time by booking flights to Barcelona, Berlin or anywhere in between at 1 800 Fly Europe.com.

But I was curious about when the term "detective" emerged as a recognizable title and/or occupation. The word does appear in the Early English Books Online as early as 1634. However, the word detective was not used as a noun, but rather as a verb, referring to the process of detecting.
Specifically, the "famous chirugion [surgeon] Ambrose Parey" detective the effects of deadly poisons on the human body.
Turning to my trusty Oxford Etymological Dictionary, I found that as a noun, "detective" was not used before before 1843. According to the Chambers Edinburgh Journal, "Intelligent men have been recently selected to form a body called the 'detective police'‥at times the detective policeman attires himself in the dress of ordinary individuals." (12: 54).
The word was later referenced in Willis' discussion of modern thief-taking in 1850: "To each division of the Force is attached two officers, who are denominated 'detectives'" (C. Dickens, Househ. Words 13 July 368/1).
Prior to 1850, those conducting investigations might have been called a searcher (1382), intracer (?a1475), inquisitor (?1504), inseer (1532), theif taker (1535) (my favorite, and the one I use!), peruser (1549) investigator (1552), tracer (1552), scrutineer (1557), examiner (1561), revisitor (1594), researcher (1615), examinant (1620), indagator (1620) (that's a great one!), ferret (1629), (another great one!), pryer (1674A), probator (1691), disquisitor (1766), grubber (1776), prober (1777), plant (1812), grubbler (1813), and plain clothes (1822).
After 1850, additional colorful slang variants were used: Plainsclothesman (1856), mouser (1863), sleuth (1872), tec (1879), dee (1882) (shortened version of detective), sleuth-hound (1890), split (1891) (evolution of informer, turning against another person), hawkshaw (1903) (a character in a play), busy (1904), gumshoe (1906), (from the quiet stealthy shoes detectives began to adopt), dick (1908) (comes from a colloquial collapsing of 'detective'), and Richard (1914) (the common surname for nickname Dick). (Most of these expressions, it should be noted, came from criminal slang)
And the first real person to be called detective?
Well, it's hard to say...
Paul Collins, an associate professor at Portland State, a.k.a. the literary detective, has made the case for Charles Felix's detective in Velvet Lawn (1862) as the first of the genre. (On my list to read!).
Others have argued for Inspector Buckett from Charles Dickens' Bleak House (1853), who may well have been based on a real private investigator that Dickens knew.
Something else accompanied that change.
As an investigator, the nineteenth-century detective was trying to systematically solve problems, using science to find solutions to the puzzles that plagued society. The "new" detectives were adopting a scientific, logical quality to the process of capturing criminals.
The first known (and organized) private detective agency emerged in France in 1833. This occurred under the auspices of Eugène François Vidocq, a soldier turned privateer, who lived much of his early life on the run from from the law.
(Apparently, Victor Hugo was so impressed with Vidocq that he based not one, but two, of his most important characters in Les Miserables--both Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert--on the man).
Officially, however, at least in the U.S., Allen Pinkerton, a transplant from Glasgow, Scotland became Chicago's first detective in 1849. Soon after, he set up his famous Pinkerton National Detective Agency in the 1850s.
Ultimately, this professionalization of the detective--with its' new emphasis on applying science, logic and technology to catching criminals--gradually reshaped the image of the investigator from "thief taker" to puzzle solver. These trends seem to have substantially influenced at least the first few generations of literary detectives, maybe more.
Enter Sherlock, Poirot and all those who rely on "their little grey cells" to solve mysteries...
(I do think the recent trend of paranormal crime solvers indicates the inevitable backlash, however, but that's another story). What do you think?

Walking to Win
Lots of people walk for exercise, but Maria Michta walks to win.
Michta, a sophomore on the C.W. Post cross country team, is a world-class race walker. She began competing in the sport when she was a freshman in high school when she became a member of the winter track and field team in order to stay in shape between her soccer and lacrosse seasons.
|Maria Michta has competed all over the world and hopes to make it to the 2008 Olympics.
The native of Nesconset, N.Y., was so good she started working with a race walking coach from WalkUSA, Gary Westerfield, and her times have continued to get lower and lower.
Michta owns the American Junior 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer road records, and last July, she bettered her own record in the 10-kilometer track race at the Pan American Junior Championships in Windsor, Ontario. She clocked a time of 49:43.85 to win the bronze medal, 40 seconds better than her record-setting time that won the U.S. junior title in June. The American Junior mark of 50:26.9 by Lisa Chumbley stood since 1993.
Race walking is not recognized by the NCAA as an event, but C.W. Post was a great choice for Michta because the Pioneers compete in the Collegiate Track Championships and some invitationals in the winter and spring seasons that sponsor it. In addition to running on the cross country team, Michta wins points in any race walking event that comes her way during the track season.
"I had to find a place that would allow me to race walk and still run on the team," Michta said. "Also, the location was important because I'm only about 35 minutes from Coach Westerfield and I go to practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays once cross country season is over to train with him."
As a member of the cross country team, Michta also does not have the added pressure of being the squad's best runner, which she enjoys.
"It's nice not to be the leader on the team and be in the back of the pack, and get some experience from that end," said Michta.
Even though cross country and race walking may seem similar, it takes time for Michta to adjust from one to the other.
"It's a big transition from running to race walking," said Michta. "It takes me about a month to get down to my race walking times. Switching from race walking to running is approximately another month of transition before I get into the right rhythm."
Michta has competed all over the world " Italy, Germany, Peru, and Canada " but she hopes to add a few more destinations to the list. She will first try to make the USA's senior team, after moving up to a new age bracket this year, to participate in the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in La Coruña, Spain, but she really wants to get a Beijing, China stamp in her passport with a trip to the 2008 Summer Olympics.
"I have dreams of making it to the Olympics, and my coach has me shooting for 2008," said Michta.
Michta shares her love for the sport with her family and is just hoping her youngest sister does not catch her.
"My two younger sisters have tried race walking just for fun in our summer series meets on Long Island," said Michta. "Katie has really taken off and I feel like she's going to break all of my school records and eventually my Junior National records. She's only nine years old, but she can really get her legs moving."
C.W. Post is ranked seventh in the latest Division II Northeast Regional poll, and Michta is very positive about the Pioneers' season. "We're getting better and better each year, and we have high hopes this year," Michta said.

Upcoming Events
Due to demand, we will be holding another set of training sessions this spring semester! Spring office hours will soon be established and we will be hosting our annual Valentine's day this month. See below for details on previous years. February will also be our second Listening to Kids workshop for students involved with local mentoring programs. We also have plans to expand this program into other campus and off campus groups.
Congratulations to our new fully trained Peer Listeners! Find them on our members page.
You can also join our list serve to receive news by email. Send a blank email to firstname.lastname@example.com or contact one of the leaders.
Past Events
Talking to Kids Workshop
(Fall 2009) We partnered with the Whitman Community Service Center to train students on how to listen to and problem solve with children. This event was attended by students who mentor at local schools, volunteer with America Reads and America Counts, or are involved with other community services activities. We plan on continuing this training in the future and expanding it to other campus groups.
Positive Body Image Display
(March and October 2009) We asked students to fill out notecards stating, "What do you like about your body?". We took the notecards and displayed them on a panel decorated like an amorphous person. We wanted students to be able to see what their peers liked about their bodies in order facilitate positive body thinking. This event was so successful that we repeated it again the following semester.
Valentine's Day Display
(February 14, annually) We asked students to fill out notecards stating either, "What you like about being in a relationship is...", or, "What you like about being single is...". We took the notecards and displayed them on a double-sided panel so that everyone walking by could look at the responses.
This display was created to show people that being single on Valentine's Day can be just as great as being in a relationship. We hope that people feeling left out around this holiday can feel more included, knowing that a huge percentage of the student body is comfortable being by themselves. The notecards serve to show positive sides of both relationship statuses.
Fundraiser: Neck Warmers
(fall 2009) We made rice neck warmers from dyed tube socks and sold them to benefit the Walla Walla YMCWA. Not only did we raise money for a great local cause, but we also made people oh-so-happy with their personal heaters.
Annual Finals Events
(end of spring and fall semesters yearly) Nearly every semester around finals the Peer Listeners visit the library with goodies for the students hard at work. Some examples of past treats are: cookies, lifesavers, (real) hugs and (chocolate) kisses.
Art Therapy Day
(April 19, 2008) We set up a booth next to the tennis courts and allowed people to blow bubbles, play with sidewalk chalk, or paint. A much appreciated study break!

Let's face it, the Mets weren't going to get a big bopper as their right-handed bat off the bench. I liked the idea of Michael Morse. They didn't have the chips to trade for Yeonis Cespedes, who was shipped to Detroit.
It is premature to say the Mets filled that need with John Mayberry Jr., much the way it was last year at this time when they signed Chris Young. The deal will be announced pending a physical.
Mayberry, who'll be 31 later this month, could start in the outfield against left-handed pitching on days Michael Cuddyer plays first base. Playing for Toronto and Philadelphia last season, Mayberry hit .212 with seven homers and 23 RBI. Suffice to say, the Mets are going into this with a lot of hope.
No, that's nothing to get excited about, but it fits in with how Sandy Alderson does things, which is to use a patchwork approach to fill holes. In this respect, you can call him a GM version of MacGyver, but without nearly the success.

After Payne shaved his head post-breakup, fellow heartthrob Harry Styles has gotten inked — again. In a photo posted on a Twitter account managed by One Direction fans, the 18-year-old can be seen showing off fresh tattoos all over his left arm and upper left ribcage. And yes, he is shirtless in the snap.
What new designs did Styles get, and what is the meaning behind one of the new tattoos?
Styles' existing tattoo collection includes a tiny "A" in the crook of his elbow, a large star on his inner arm and the words "Won't stop 'till we surrender" — lyrics from The Temper Trap's song "Sweet Disposition."
The collection has since grown, with new additions like a filled black star, an iced gem, his sister Gemma's name in Hebrew, a pair of comedy and tragedy drama masks, a birdcage and the letters "SMCL."
Styles' new tattoo photo has caused some debate between One Direction fans, who have been trying to figure out the meaning behind "SMCL" on Twitter and beyond.
Some believe that the letters stand for "Smile more, cry later," while other One Directioners have made a connection between the tattoo and Simon Cowell, who first signed the group in early 2011 after being formed on The X Factor.
What do you think of Harry Style's new tattoos? And what do you think the letters "SMCL" mean? Click through the gallery above for photos of other celebrity ink and share your thoughts below.
