Life Science: Field Population System
The Field Population System
The Life Science Field Population System is designed to demonstrate concepts that are fundamental to understanding biological evolution. It is a companion to the videos for Session 5 (Variation, Adaptation, and Natural Selection) and Session 6 (Evolution and the Tree of Life).
The name is derived from the system that it is meant to simulate: a field in which one or more plant populations grow. In this type of natural setting, the individuals within such populations would be expected to vary in numerous ways. In the face of myriad factors that affect survival, some variants would be expected to survive better than others do. Through natural selection, these variants would be likely to leave proportionately more offspring. If this continued over many generations, the population would"evolve"— that is, the successful variants would become more common.
Life Science has suggested two activities to illustrate how these concepts are connected. The first, "Assessing Variation," sets the stage for the second, "Selective Herbivory." In the first activity, Fast Plants and turnips—both members of the same Brassica rapa species—are observed for variation as they grow. In "Selective Herbivory," a population of both of these varieties of Brassica rapa is introduced to a voracious herbivore: the larvae of the cabbage white butterfly Pieris rapae. This activity involves observing feeding behavior of the larvae and hypothesizing about how variation in the plant population might cause certain variants to be selected over others.
"Salt of the Earth" models what happens to a population when its physical environment changes. In this case, plants are subjected to salt in their water. The impact of this treatment on survival and reproduction is assessed and followed by selective breeding (i.e., artificial selection) of those variants that survive better than the others. While this activity is specific for salt as a variable, it can be modified to test the impact of any number of environmental changes. And, while becoming familiar with selective breeding principles, you can continue to understand how evolution through natural selection works.
Note: All of these activities can be done using the offspring of Brassica rapa and Pieris rapae that result from studying their life cycles in the "Brassica & Butterfly System."
You can follow along online and track your progress with "Assessing Variation" and "Selective Herbivory."

Alexander Siloti
1863 - 1945
Alexander Siloti short biography
Alexander Siloti was regarded as an outstanding Russian pianist, teacher and composer. The great composers including Arensky, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky dedicated many of their works to Siloti. Siloti's teachers at the Moscow Conservatory were Zverev, Nikolai Rubinstein, Taneyev, Tchaikovsky and Hubert. Having won the Gold Medal upon his graduation, Siloti assisted Liszt in Weimar and was a co-founder of the Liszt-Verein in Leipzig. In 1887 Siloti was appointed professor of the Moscow Conservatory and taught Goldenweiser, Maximov and Rachmaninov. Siloti was on a concert tour in the United States where he premiered the Rachmaninov's C-sharp Minor Prelude. In 1925, Siloti was appointed professor of the Juilliard School. In 1930, Siloti was a soloist in the all-Liszt concert conducted by Arturo Toscanini.

Game Thoughts: In its purest form, football is generally
won by the team that makes fewer mental and physical mistakes.
And quite honestly, no team has done that better than the Giants
this postseason. Whether they can take the same caretaker approach
against the last team that defeated them is another story. What
has clearly been shown so far is that the Giants defense has improved
to the point that if the offense can score 20 or more points,
the defense will take care of the rest. Now, what remains to be
seen is whether New York took a large step up as a team in Week
17 or if the Patriots played about as poorly on defense as they
could in that game. Much like their first two playoff opponents,
the Patriots will see if the Giants can beat them through the
air, which leads us to the combination of Manning to Burress.
Manning, who has been ripped by the media for his inconsistency
throughout his career, has been nearly dead-on in the playoffs.
His completion percentage has improved from 56.3% to 62.3% and
he has yet to throw an INT after throwing 20 in the regular season.
Now the former stat may not sound like much, but that figures
into roughly 2-3 more catches per game, plays that give New York
important first downs to keep drives alive or that can lead to
broken tackles in the open field for big plays.
Burress has already been quoted saying a few things this week,
including his ankle being at "97 percent". If that
is the case, he is a mismatch for any CB in the New England secondary.
CB Asante Samuel, who will not follow Burress all over the field
(but will likely cover him the majority of the time), is not likely
to have as much impact in this game against Burress as he has
in past playoff games (against the Colts, for example) because
so much of what Burress catches is high and deep, not quick-breaking
routes like Samuel has made a living on in the past. And judging
by Burress' two-TD performance in their last meeting, Samuel
may need some safety help. CB Ellis Hobbs should do a fair job
against Toomer, although Manning has shown no reluctance to go
his way when the situation warrants. However, it would not be
a shock to see Toomer be the beneficiary of single coverage on
a few deep outs as New England concentrates its resources on slowing
Burress. Stopping the TE has been a sore spot in two postseason
games for the Pats, therefore, Boss may be a sneaky play. With
all that said, the Giants need two of three key areas to be in
their favor to pull the upset (and probably in this order). (1)
The ground game will need to be ultra-productive; (2); Burress
to be as healthy as he says he is and unstoppable as he can be;
(3) Manning must continue to be efficient and be his "playoff
self" and not the QB so many New York fans grew to dislike.
I'm not sure if I trust what I see yet from Manning, but
this incredible run of his started against the Patriots and as
much as the detractors will say New England did not bring their
"A-game", any fan knows that the Pats wanted that
game to complete their perfect season. So while I would still
prefer Tom Brady be my QB in this game, I tend to believe we are
starting to see the evolution of Eli Manning.
Running Game Thoughts: As stated
above, the ground game will play a vital role in determining whether
the Giants win, stay close or get blown out. While Manning deserves
a lot of the credit for evolving during the playoffs, it has been
made easier by the big-play ability and spark Bradshaw has brought
to the offense. It's unthinkable watching him now that he
wasn't allowed to make an impact on this offense until Week
16! It is safe to say that he is as trusted with the ball at this
point as Jacobs is, so it is hard to decipher which RB will see
the most work. However, Jacobs remains the best fantasy play by
a slim margin because of his nose for the end zone (four TDs during
the playoffs to Bradshaw's zero). I do like New England's
chances to limit the Giants on the ground in this game, seeing
as how they have kept the Jags and Chargers in check in the last
two contests. But much like teams have done with the Colts in
years past and the Buffalo Bills in the early 90s, it is important
to run effectively, chew up the clock as much they can and leave
the Patriots' offense in the worst field position possible.
Granted, New England has driven the length of the field to score
better than any team this season, but if New York is continually
forcing the Pats to go the distance (much as they have done to
their opponents in the first three playoff games), the Giants
can win this game. Obviously, it will help if the combination
of Jacobs and Bradshaw can combine for 150 total yards, but turnovers
and field position will likely have a better say in what team

Plaxico Burress: 75 rec/1 TD

Passing Game Thoughts: I don't
think there is any doubt that the Giants have to play a "more
perfect" game than the Patriots do this weekend. However,
I will say that if New York can continue generating the pressure
it has put on opposing QBs during the postseason, this contest
can be every bit as interesting as the first meeting was between
these teams. One nugget I have learned about football over the
years is the power of deception – in this case, the power
a defense can gain by feigning an all-out blitz but then sending
only 4-5 rushers. In essence, the more often a defense can make
an offensive line block air, the better. In the playoffs, the
Giants have done a fantastic job of bringing no more than five
rushers to generate pressure while getting better-than-expected
play from their back seven in coverage. They will need to incorporate
all the principles of zone and overload blitzes that DC Steve
Spanuolo has used over the course of the season. But the biggest
thing they need is for their safeties to think pass first and
work from the back to the front. In other words, stop Moss at
all costs and take good angles on the ball carrier. The safety
play (bad angles, etc) on Donald Driver's long TD catch
in the NFC Championship was abysmal and that cannot happen if
New York wants to turn this game into a slugfest.
The Pats are going to score and, unfortunately for the Giants,
they will likely score at least 24-28 points. Brady will have
good protection 85-90% of the time (if not more), so his numbers
will undoubtedly be good once again. The question then becomes
which Patriot will benefit the most. Well, Moss is going to draw
the most attention once again, but you know he'll be chomping
at the bit after seeing very little action in the first two playoff
games. I would not be the least bit surprised to see the first
New England offensive play be a play-action deep ball into double
coverage where Moss is asked to go and get it. I think regardless
of the attention paid to Moss, he can have an MVP-type performance.
As he has in the previous two postseason contests, Welker figures
to have another standout game. In terms of short-area explosion,
Welker may have the most of any WR I can remember lately. While
he isn't overly fast, he is nearly uncoverable in third-and-short
situations. Now, how much Gaffney and Stallworth will contribute
will be up to just how effective the Giants' front four
is. Since I do expect the G-Men to apply a bit of pressure on
Brady, I would opt for Gaffney as he is more likely to break open
quickly and excel in the intermediate passing game. And I tend
to believe that Watson is a slightly better play than his Giant
counterpart (Boss), although both are good options and both defenses
have struggled a bit guarding the TE. I would be remiss if I didn't
mention Faulk, who could very well have a Dominic Rhodes-like
impact (as in last year's Super Bowl) on this contest in
the passing game if the Giants' pass rush is getting to
Brady more than expected.
Game Thoughts: It's become apparent that while the
Patriots were certainly out to "kill" opponents earlier
in the season, the reason Maroney wasn't more of a factor
was because: 1) he didn't need to be and 2) he was more
injured than anyone let on (big surprise). What we do know is
that Maroney – when healthy – can and will be productive.
And after getting Moss established early, the Pats should place
a heavy emphasis on making sure Maroney gets a full load. Because
New England knows that it should be able to pass and score whenever
it wants to, it should not be afraid to keep the ball away from
the Giants' offense either. The best way to keep New York
from being able to play keep-away with the Pats' offense
is to make sure that New York has limited opportunities to handle
the ball and to win the field position battle. Of course, I'm
not suggesting that the Pats take the ball out of Brady's
hands any more than they have to. But New England must understand
that the Giants are one of the few teams stout enough up front
on defense to get to the QB with just four rushers and that one
of the few ways it can lose is if it allows New York the opportunity
to get Jacobs and Bradshaw in rhythm. Thus, I would not be surprised
to see Maroney to match (or surpass) his season high of 26 carries
set in Week 15. He has scored in five straight weeks and has carried
22 or more times three times in the last five games after not
doing so once in the first 14 weeks of the regular season. I don't
expect huge yardage totals from him, but he should continue to
find the end zone.
Tom Brady: 315 pass/3 TD/0 INT
Randy Moss: 75 rec/1 TD
Wes Welker: 95 rec/1 TD
Jabar Gaffney: 45 rec
Donte Stallworth: 25 rec
Ben Watson: 25 rec/1 TD
Laurence Maroney: 70 rush/1 TD/10 rec
Kevin Faulk: 15 rush/40 rec

Following the First European Conference on Alcohol Law Enforcement in Rotterdam last year, a network on alcohol law enforcement in Europe was created. This year the network initiative is continued with a second conference in Stockholm (15-16th November), with the theme 'Reducing public drunkenness and over-serving related violence'.
Every European city is facing this problem and every law enforcer that is active at night-time will recognize this issue. There are some very interesting best practices on reducing alcohol related violence in Europe and there is a lot of research on evidence based interventions. The conference in November will present those best practices and bring together specialists on this topic in Europe with the members of the European Network for Alcohol Law Enforcement.

For his series Animal Eyes, the Armenian photographer Suren Manvelyan captures close-ups of animal eyeballs belonging to diverse creatures, revealing both the complexity and universality of the organ. Beneath his macro lens, these small circular organs appear paradoxically vast; at times, their curved surfaces resemble the entirety of planet Earth as seen from space, cloudy with ribbons of pigmentation. Here, the eyes, considered to be windows to the soul, reflect back a cosmic realm that evokes the metaphysical, but at the same time, they are startlingly material. The pupil, a seeming abyss ascending into the unknown, is cushioned by substantial tissues that ground us firmly within the corporeal world.
Though the species shot here vary immensely, a comforting uniformity emerges from the images; through the changes in iris hue and pupil dilation, there is a shared urgency in each gaze, a sweeping desire simply to see. The horse, his eyes veiled in straw-like lashes, fixes the lens with the same intensity as the hippo, whose wrinkled, fleshy eyelids peel back. Where most photography relies upon the assumption that we may watch without fear of being observed ourselves, Manvelyan's images inspire within us a sense of being seen; are these opened eyes, these celestial orbs, looking back at us? What do they see? Check out the artist's photographs of the human eye here. (via Agonistica)

What Clients Are Saying
When my father became ill, he was not prepared for the complexity of Medicaid rules. He had previously not done any planning and I was concerned that the fruits of his halve century of work would be quickly dissipated.
My family received a recommendation to contact the Law Firm of Lamson & Cutner. I thought it might be too late, but we are fortunate to have contacted them. From the initial contact to the final conclusion Lamson & Cutner displayed expertise, commitment, and compassion.
My father's case was unique and complicated (as are many) by a variety of factors. However Lamson & Cutner was able to provide solutions that involved trust creation, Fair Hearing preparation, and negotiations. The services provided helped allow my family to concentrate on Dad's medical needs.
We highly recommend the elder law firm of Lamson & Cutner.
...they sat down with me over a period of weeks and worked through the process of getting the help I sought and assistance I needed that had eluded me for so long. I found them to be not only professional, but very concerned and caring. This meant a lot to me. In a few months we were able to get the answers I had been searching for over a period of years without results... I would recommend the firm of Lamson & Cutner, P.C. to anyone who is disabled and/or elderly or has a family member in need of assistance. Doing it on your own is difficult if not impossible, as I found out the hard way and lost a lot of years that I can never get back...They turned a very negative experience into a positive opportunity to set my affairs straight and get my life moving forward in the right direction... I feel truly blessed.
My 89 year old mom fell and broke both shoulders and one was dislocated. The hospital would only let my mom stay a few days. We had to quickly find a rehabilitation facility and start to put her affairs in order. David Cutner was a wealth of information and guided my family through what needed to be done and worked with us until we had our mom home and home care set up for her. She just turned 90 and is doing extremely well. We could never have handled this ourselves nor have gotten to this point without all the hard work of David Cutner and his staff.

If someone stores files that are clearly identifiable as child pornography in a folder that can be searched for and accessed by other users on a file-sharing network, is he or she essentially publishing a notice offering to illegally distribute the images?
According to a ruling issued January 17 by the U.S. Court of Appeals in St. Louis, the answer to that question is a definite "yes." A panel of judges at the court rejected an appeal filed by a St. Joseph, Mo., resident named Walter Sewell, who was seeking to overturn a conditional guilty plea that he entered last year in a case involving the precedent-setting use of a 1986 law to prosecute the Kazaa user.
In its ruling, (Download PDF)the appeals court agreed with arguments made by the prosecutors in the case that the descriptions of the files in Sewell's Kazaa folders constituted an offer to distribute the child porn images -- despite a contention by Sewell that the descriptive fields were already filled in when he himself downloaded the images via Kazaa.
Sewell, a pharmacist, acknowledged during the case that he had downloaded the pornographic images to multiple home and office computers and then shared the images with other people on Kazaa's peer-to-peer network. He was given a mandatory 15-year minimum sentence, without chance of parole, after pleading guilty to a charge of publishing a notice of child pornography as well as a lesser charge of distributing child pornography.
Prosecutors charged Sewell with violating a specific section of a 1986 statute -- officially, Title 18, United States Code, Section 2251(d)(1)(A). That section of the law criminalizes behavior in which an individual knowingly notifies or advertises to others any images depicting child pornography. It was approved by Congress in response to concerns about the exchange of child pornography over the Internet, in particular via online bulletin boards.
The statute has been used in the past to go after individuals posting child porn advertisements on Web sites and bulletin boards. In the Sewell case, the prosecutors charged that the manner in which he used Kazaa to download and share the pornographic images amounted to a violation of the 1986 law.
Don Ledford, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Kansas City, Mo., said via e-mail this week that the case "marks the first time a defendant was charged with publishing a notice for child porn as a result of using a file-sharing program." He added that the same prosecution strategy "is now being followed in other [federal court] districts around the country."
Sewell's use of Kazaa to download and distribute the child porn images was discovered by an undercover FBI agent in November 2003. After being confronted with the evidence against him, Sewell pleaded guilty to charges of possessing and distributing child pornography.
But he filed a motion seeking to have the much more serious charge of publishing notice of child pornography dismissed. His filing argued that the information presented by prosecutors in their indictments didn't show that an offense had taken place as described under the 1986 child porn law. After the trial judge denied the motion, Sewell agreed to plead guilty to the publishing notice charge on the condition that he be allowed to appeal the judge's decision.
Court documents show that in making their case against Sewell, the prosecutors first described how files that are placed in or downloaded to a Kazaa user's shared folder include attached fields for describing the files and their contents. The descriptive fields include entries such as filename, title, category and type. The words and descriptions contained in such fields are what enable Kazaa users to search for and locate files that they're interested in downloading.
The descriptions of the files in Sewell's shared folders clearly indicated that they contained child pornography, the prosecutors said. As examples, they pointed in court filings to labels such as "pedo13trydad," "pedo_little girl kiddy child" and "pedo_lolitas_kids" that were attached to files on his computer.
Sewell knew that Kazaa gave other users the ability to search for and read the filenames and descriptive field information, the prosecutors alleged. As a result, they said, he in effect was publishing a notice offering to "display, distribute and reproduce" the pornographic images via interstate commerce. They added that an individual indicted under the 1986 statute need not necessarily have written the notice -- in this case, the descriptive fields -- himself.

James Iredell
Jump to navigation Jump to search
James Iredell (5 October 1751 – 20 October 1799) was one of the original Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. He was appointed by President George Washington and served from 1790 until his death in 1799.
North Carolina's Debates, in Convention, on the adoption of the Federal Constitution (1787)[edit]
Reported in The Debates, Resolutions, and other Proceedings, in Convention, on the adoption of the Federal Constitution, as recommended by the General Convention at Philadelphia, on the 17th of September, 1787 (1830), edited by Jonathan Elliot.
- The power of impeachment is given by this Constitution, to bring great offenders to punishment. It is calculated to bring them to punishment for crimes which it is not easy to describe, but which every one must be convinced is a high crime and misdemeanor against the government.
- July 28, 1788, p. 107.
- It would be not only useless, but dangerous, to enumerate a number of rights which are not intended to be given up; because it would be implying, in the strongest manner, that every right not included in the exception might be impaired by the government without usurption; and it would be impossible to enumerate every one. Let any one make what collection or enumeration of rights he pleases, I will immediately mention twenty or thirty more rights not contained in it.
- July 28, 1788, p. 150.
- Had Congress undertaken to guarantee religious freedom, or any particular species of it, they would then have had a pretense to interfere in a subject they have nothing to do with. Each state, so far as the clause in question does not interfere, must be left to the operation of its own principles.
- July 30, 1788, p. 172.

About 400 students at two middle schools in Quang Tri province demonstrated their knowledge of a sea turtle conservation curriculum developed by IUCN Viet Nam at awareness-raising competitions during the weekend of 20-21 December
Twelve- to 16-year-old pupils in Trieu Lang commune, Trieu Phong district and Hai An commune, Hai Lang district of coastal Quang Tri province presented drawings, skits, poems and written compositions in competitions that determined who could best show their understanding of threats to the marine reptiles and ways to conserve them.
The event was the culmination to a series of eight extra-curricular lessons on sea turtle conservation and habitat protection that the students, grades 6 to 9, received in October and November, after their teachers received training on the theme from IUCN VN.
"The message I would like to send with my essay is that sea turtles are just like us, entitled to a peaceful life in their own habitat, and we need to take action together in keeping the sea clean for the sea turtles," said Phan Thi Nhi, the second prize double winner for her painting and essay at Hai An school.
The contests were some of IUCN VN's public education activities under its project to support the Government of Viet Nam's Marine Turtle Conservation Action Plan. Funding for the lessons primarily came from the Marine Turtle Conservation Fund, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with additional financing from the Royal Danish Embassy in Hanoi.
The five species of marine turtle in Viet Nam's waters face threats from destructive fishing techniques, a polluted habitat and illegal animal trafficking. Quang Tri was one of two provinces selected for the middle school curriculum because it houses important Leatherback turtle nesting sites.
Representatives from the local education department and other government agencies attended the contests and expressed strong support for the awareness-raising program.
"It's clear from the students' enthusiastic participation in the competition that they have well understood the value of sea turtles and the dire need to protect them from extinction," said Mr. Tran Dinh Lien, head of the Quang Tri Department of Aquatic Resource Protection. "We will continue working on this in collaboration with the coastal communes and IUCN in the time to come."
A meeting to share teaching and competition organization strategies will be held on 28 Dec. for teachers and students of the two schools. The winning drawings also will be used to create communications products including a 2009 calendar about sea turtle protection.
For more information, please contact Ms. Bui Thi Thu Hien at [email protected].

Stereotactic Radiosurgery demands a team approach, incorporating the expertise and experience of specialized medical professionals. Each plays a vital role in the planning and administration of the treatment.
- Neurosurgeon
- Radiation Oncologist
- Medical Oncologist
- Nurse Practitioner
- Physicists
- Dosimetrist
- Radiation Therapist
- Radiologist
- Pathologist
- Psychiatrist
- Psychologist
- Dietitian
- Social Worker
- Physical and occupational therapist
A diagnosis of brain or spine cancer can come from a medical oncologist, neurosurgeon or radiation oncologist. The cancer specialist will evaluate the patient's symptoms and order diagnostic imaging studies, such as an MRI or CT scan, in order to diagnose a brain or spinal tumor.
Once a diagnosis is made, the appropriate treatment is determined. If stereotactic radiosurgery is indicated, together the neurosurgeon and radiation oncologist develop the treatment plan in conjunction with the physicist and dosimetrist.
The physicist ensures the precise dose of radiation is delivered to the patient. The physicist and/or dosimetrist develop a three-dimensional treatment plan using computer planning software.
The radiation therapist positions the patient on the treatment table, operates the machine and monitors the patient throughout the treatment.
The Nurse Practitioner serves as the Brain & Spine Tumor Program Coordinator. She guides the patient and family through the entire process the day of the procedure. The coordinator assists the neurosurgeon with the head frame placement, monitors the patient throughout the day and provides discharge education and instruction.

Hello Darling,ReplyDelete
I read her too and have her on my blogroll. The images are wonderful. You are such a good friend to have, always thinking of others!
All is fine this side of the pond. Who've been so busy and we have graduation on Thursday. I have been neglecting the shop I'm afraid but after next week when, once again, Meg moves out and into her new flat, things will calm down.
Much love
I must go NOW To see her! I have never heard of this blog, but there are so many wonderful people out there that it is so hard to know everyone! All I know is this: YOU ARE WONDERFUL MY FRIEND! AnitaReplyDelete
I am so excited!! Headed over now.....this is right up my alley because I dream of one day owning a place in Vermont and getting away from the rat race and having my own garden and enjoying leisurely days with little to do.....life seems to move at a slower place there and lets you stop and really enjoy and savor lifes smallest pleasures. I can tell already this is right up my alley. Thanks Elizabeth for the heads up....sorry I havent' been around much, its been a very busy July, hoping August will slow down a bit. Missed being here....nice to be making "my rounds" again!ReplyDelete
It sounds like a wonderful blog, I'm off to have a look and I'm very keen on the idea of an online book club, what a fabulous idea, I may join you in reading along.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your kind comments, I'd love you as a neighbour too:-)
I hope we can meet up sometime when your over in London I have a feeing that a trip round the Royal Academy, lunch in Fortnum's and a wander up Bond Street (my favourite city day) would be something you'd enjoy as well.
We're off to Brittany for six weeks, I can't wait to be beside the sea!
this is the kindest thing i have ever read. what a wonderful way to start my day. you are so very kind and seeing my images here and how you gathered made my heart sing, thank you so much, i will cherish this truly.ReplyDelete
thank you elizabeth
I just read your kind comment on I Heart Sunny Days and knew I had to connect with your kindness. Your blog reveals it and the focus on seeing beautiful which is, well, what we strive to do and grow in the world everyday. We're so happy to be your newest follower and can't wait to continued being inspired by you.ReplyDelete
Happy seeing beautiful!
P.S., Thanks for the new blog recommendation. Sounds wonderful. We'll check it out now. :)

I did it backwards: I found you through Nadia, and I think you might like Fig and Fauna. It's not me. My mum won't let me have a blog until I get my grades up, but it is similar to Nadia... farm and beauty.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the introduction. It sounds perfect. I have found many of my favorite blogs through our's sites. I believe I happened upon you through Sunday. I'm on my way over for a visit. BonnieReplyDelete

Talk:Myths in GTA San Andreas

Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
There's another myth, the suicude ped, the ped is at flint county and takes photos and drowns into the water
Rishihot55 04:28, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- That is real, I have seen that person, so is it actually a myth? He is across from the place where the monster truck is parked in flint county. Hbriz 05:53, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- We should not include actual events in the game (like the glitch/easter egg mentioned above) in this article. I don't even like this article at all but people want all the popular stories in one place.--spaceeinstein 06:58, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- It should be mentioned that the "SKIP HIRE" on the wheelchair is just because R* didn't want to mess around making a unique wheelchair texture for a single, unique, useless item in the game, so they just used the skip bin texture to skin it, leading to skip bin markings being on it. They just used that texture because it was 'rusty' aswell. Ess-Tee 15:25, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Mass Grave
check out the mass grave in the desert. I don't know why it's there but it's cool. I think it has something to do with the serial killer
- Or it can have something to do with the mob burying bodies in the desert...--Spaceeinstein 19:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- does anyone know where i can find the Serial killer. I know it's in the desert but what time of day. I wan to see him and take a picture.
- also how do i find the door in the sky
- I can't help you there, but could you please sign your posts and indent them correctly in future? Ess-Tee 07:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
I doubt the serial killer exists. But keep looking for him! --Chimpso 07:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
No the serial killer is real. I just dont see why he's called serial killer. I have seen the Mass Grave. It's kinda creepy. I dont think it involves the serial killer. I think its something with the Area 69 near the grave. Anybody Agree? SanAndreasSecrets 15:20, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
the serial killer does exist he is a proven myth as i found him myself but it took me a while to find the mass grave. user--Stephendwan 10:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
The info of the Mass Grave is in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Introduction Count Druckula 19:41, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
just wondering can leatherface the myth in gta san andreas. be also be called dr.salvador or chainsaw majini from re4 and re5 as they both have chainsaws. user--Stephendwan 17:09, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
--Stephendwan 10:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)== ghost town ==
i do know that the las brujas ghost town does has ghosts as i have seen an apparition i had heard strange noises and gotten strange feelings like i was not alone and i was being watch and one time i heard voices but that was because i had the riot cheat on. alot of people had expearance alot of simlar events in youtube. user--Stephendwan 18:48, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- It's a game... You have a feeling someone watching over you in a game?--Spaceeinstein 19:41, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- This game has been out for four years. Anything like that would have been discovered in the code long ago. It's been reverse-engineered to death... C-d-rom 22:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
well how long has it taken in real life to prove that ghosts exist and besides you are people are problemly looking at the wrong time all i know is that the ghost appears at nightime doing foggy and stormy condition. user--Stephendwan 10:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- You're comparing the idea of proving ghosts exist in real life to doing so in a game that has everything pre-coded into it? *double facepalm* Ghost Leader 23:52, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
Please...Stephendwan, I've cleaned up some of your more plausible ones (although these ARE fake, I can tell you now there's nothing about them in the game's code), but some are just stupid and patently untrue. As many have mentioned, it's a game. It's a sandbox game. Sandbox games are not known for their "atmospheres of being watched". Maybe if it were Resident Evil, or some other psychological horror game, but it's not. It's Grand Theft Auto. As for the bicycle one...you say yourself it's a glitch! That's a glitch, not a myth!... C-d-rom 11:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Mothman? Seriously? Are you just going through the "Bumper Book of Monsters" and adding every one you can think of into this article, and stating no-one can prove you wrong because "it's a myth and can't be proved or disproved"? Honestly, these models don't exist in the game. There is no possible way they can be there outside of modifications!... C-d-rom 16:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Stephendwan, as C-d-rom pointed out, all the "myths" you are adding are just your own misconceptions/ideas. This article's sole purpose is to list the most popular/well-known myths - you can't just keep adding things because you, apparently, felt like you were "being watched" in a video game. If you feel so compelled to express your thoughts/ideas about these so-called myths, then I recommend that you use the Forums or go to a website such as GTAforums and discuss them there. One last thing, and I hate to seem blunt here, but can you please work on your grammar and spelling - I assume, and know, that it is rather annoying for other users to have to constantly correct every edit you make, that's not really what we're here for. - Hardrock182 23:30, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
i thought the mothman, shady creek creature and the las brujas ghost town were well known myths as alot of people has investigated these myths. user--Stephendwan 10:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Please listen, don't post these things without other people even KNOWING that such myths even existed in peoples minds. We know you are lying so please stop. --Chimpso 11:40, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
OK Stephendwan, you don't know me, but I've been investigating on the myths for months. I watched DarthDementous' videos on YouTube, just like you. And I've never found anything. When I became a modder, I saw that there weren't any monster (Leatherface, Bigfoot, Mothman, etc) in the game's files. They were only mods. DarthDementous used mods.--Loadingue 11:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Should this article be deleted altogether? I categorize most of these myths as fan fiction as most of these myths don't exist in the game. The ones that do exist shouldn't be categorized as a myth since it's right there. Why should we allow stories people concocted and put them here in a wiki?--Spaceeinstein 19:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- That's a brilliant idea, come to think of it, most of the "myths" could probably be listed (in brief) in the Rumours article, as they are literally just "rumours" anyway. However, it's extremely likely that the problem affecting this article will just transcend over to that article, but at least the information will be in a more appropriate place... - Hardrock182 22:44, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Have to say, I don't agree with out-and-out deletion. However bad they are, myths are arguably a part of the GTA community and games. You only need to do a YT search of "GTA myth hunters" to see that. They're not directly linked to the game, but I'd say they're a tad higher than "fanfiction". Plus this article is important in debunking some of them. Though evidently many people ignore the fact that R* have publicly stated that several myths are just that. Anyway, I created a discussion here on the issue... C-d-rom 23:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
I have been in the community since GTA3 and until the release of SA, there had never been any mention of myths. Only SA and, to an extent, GTA4 have this phenomenon of myths. You have to think that this site should be more like an encyclopedia of facts instead of rumors or stories. Everything on this site should be able to be backed up through evidence in the game/game files/Rockstar/etc. Many myths here have no credible evidence. The main thing that annoys me is that there is no definition on what myth should be considered "popular" enough to be included here. Anyone can make up any stories and have as much "evidence" as the other myths.--Spaceeinstein 23:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps we should get somone to monitor every myth on this page to make sure that somone even KONWS that the myth existed. If it has never been heared of in the gta world then it is a fake. That is what I reccomend, but i don't agree with deletion, we just need to monitor this page a bit more. --Chimpso 02:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
but alot of people have heared about the ghost town and shady creek creature is not that interesting to some players and if you want to prove it to your self then join a myth hunter group or byself look around the area.user--Stephendwan 15:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- That's just the thing though. We've ALL been to these places. I'd say it's a pretty decent bet that most of the members of GTW have GTASA, or have at least played it. We've all been to Las Brujas, we've all messed around Whetstone late on rainy nights. Yes, it's creepy, thunderstorms create that atmosphere. As I said in my forum posting on the matter, the people who see/believe these things are generally the young/gullible.
- Y'know what? I've come around to SE's idea, we SHOULD delete this page. If someone wants to keep it they can duplicate it in their own userspace. If you want to do that Stephen, feel free, no-one is going to contradict you there. Just keep your speculation out of the Wiki proper... C-d-rom 16:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
do you even try to find them so called 'myth hunter' I did find something strange when investigating bigfoot and ghost cars i saw this big black human like figure standing on a rock near the stream i only saw it for a couple of seconds then it disapears some but not all myths as a bit of truth and nonsense about them oh and i also saw ghost car driving down a hill the strange thing about it was it turned around and drove back up the hill a bit oh and i don't use mods as i only have the ps2 version one some of the myths are pretty strange still you seem to like the myths i found and people on this wiki that are myth hunters should be allowed to find were they are and what myths there. user--Stephendwan 16:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- But as the Internet famously claims "pics or it didn't happen". You've got absolutely no proof of this, and there's no documented evidence of it happening on any unmodified games in the past. It's just conjecture from you. Ghost car driving down a hill? Yes, that does happen, many people can attest to it happening, and indeed it's explainable through the way the game spawns cars. The GLENSHIT and SADLSHIT (as the ghost cars are called in gta3.img iirc) spawn at the top of the hill and roll down. There is no way for them to come back up. There is no-one there to drive them. Cars in SA don't just turn around in the middle of the road either, ghost or not, unless the driver is startled. They follow paths. The "man on a rock" thing is just, frankly, irrational. Stuff like that just doesn't happen in-game. For one thing, you don't even get peds out in the forest... C-d-rom 16:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
hey if i was to have a camera i would of recorded it and no swearing all you need to do is go to a place to investigate the myth im not forcing you your worst then some of the other skeptics. user--Stephendwan 16:59, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- But the thing is you DON'T have a camera. For one thing, why? This is 2009, EVERYONE has cameras now. You have a PS3. I don't think a digital camera is beyond your means. What self-respecting myth hunter doesn't record their "adventures"? You probably have a mobile phone, even the cheapest of those have cameras these days. I HAVE been to the places. As I said before, so has everyone else here! And we haven't seen anything. The only mildly contentious thing I can claim to have seen in GTA SA is the "unexplained UFOs" mentioned in the article, the peculiar ones which streak across the sky. And I've put in hundreds of hours to this game. As for the swearing, no, it wasn't swearing, that's genuinely what the models are called. glenshit.dff and sadlshit.dff. I don't know if it is actually a swear or if it's in reference to "hit", the beaten-up nature of them, but still, it's true. Can give you pics if you want ;)... C-d-rom 17:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Spaceeinstein suggested a deletion of this page. I have to say, it'd certainly solve some of the problems which seem to come from asking which myths are "Worthy" of inclusion, or indeed if myths are canon at all. I was originally opposed to this, but I have to say, I've come around. If someone wants to keep it (and some will. I may well do myself, as I think it's a good article, and wouldn't like to see all the work gone to waste), they can always duplicate it in their userspace (eg, I'd put it in User:C-d-rom/Myths in GTA San Andreas. There you can be free to edit it as you will, add whatever you think is necessary. It's non-canon, it's not misinforming people. I haven't actually inserted a delete tag yet, it's up to a mod if they want to actually do that or not... C-d-rom 17:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm opposing to this. This page is still interesting. For many people, myths play a big part in the GTA series.--Loadingue 17:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
ya and like there probaly undiscovered secret look at the game files you will find it then. user--Stephendwan 17:21, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
In the highly unlikely situation that there were an undiscovered secret in the game's files, it likely wouldn't be canon and hence wouldn't belong on a Wiki specialising in GTA canon anyway... C-d-rom 17:25, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Seriously, the myths have always been popular. A lot of people are still interested in it. Deleting this article would be a bad idea. Every good website has a page on the myths in GTA San Andreas... Why Grand Theft Wiki wouldn't have ? This article has more importance than you think.--Loadingue 18:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, i don't think deleting this would be the best idea, however restricting it from certain people who write 100% pure bullcrap could be a good idea, such as the part about Las Brujas i saw earlier...
Guys, i added a little bit to article about Las brujas ghosts. Hopefulyl that shoudl stop any vandalism...
dude its okay im myth hunter for real and I investigated this myth and i got scared just standing there I did see this so called figure standing in the graveyard and i came to decide that its a mispawning of a randome pedistrain by accident and the game gets rid of it straight away so i think this is nothing more then a simple giltch that get people over with joy and they do not know its just a mispawning of a random ped. user--Stephendwan 10:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I also myth hunt most of the time i play GTA SA. I never saw the ghost figure. But planes like the beagle and Ruslter crash on the graveyard alot. I agree i think its mis-spawning of peds. Dont Delete This Page!! SanAndreasSecrets 15:43, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
but there are no peds mis-spawning there, not even that happens, the only thing that does happen is a flower pick up spawning. :P
you are a SELF PROCLAIMED mythhunter. Don;t go running areund chanting "Im a Mythhunter!" and think that because you say that you are right and officlal. There is no "Ghost" there. Either it is a miss spawning ped, the flower pickup, or a shadow. --Chimpso Manager of Strasky and Hutch Game Wiki 11:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
ok then its just a giltch then ever taught about that kina like what happens with the ghost cars.user--Stephendwan 11:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
I coulden't really understand that sentence, but yes, I't is a glitch. Even if it isin't then It is not a myth because people have found it. But in my opinion it is just a glitch. --Chimpso Manager of Strasky and Hutch Game Wiki 11:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
The ghostcar is a glitch, it's because of the physics nature of the game, the car spawns just a few cm in or above the game ground, and due to the game's "gravity", and the fact that the spawnpoint is at a certain grade( hill) it rolls downwards. There is no ghost driving it, it's all just an error on Rockstar Games' side, the same happens with the car spawning at a driveway in Verona beach, Los Santos, it rolls down sometimes.
the car in guestion is the glendale, or indeed glenshit.dff as it it is called internally.
The only way you can make it spawn and being driven by other characters in the game is to edit the cargrp.dat file in the \data folder in gta san andreas' game folder. This is done by putting "glenshit," in the list of cars that should appear with certain ped groups.

video evidence of not mod users on youtube.
ever watch dartdemountus or cfox on youtube they have the best evidence they only use weapon mods i think and they have the shady creek creature, las brujas ghost figure, the bear, mothman and they don't use bigfoot mods or leatherface only weapon and cars. user--Stephendwan 14:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey, DarthDementous and CfOx036 myths are real. I watch them even as of Today (2010). But there's on myth of darth dementous i dont believe. His Ghodt car episode. Yes, the ghost car rools down by itself and even attacks CJ sometimes when you get in the way. But the car came on and attacked him. Idk if its the CLEO mod or what ever. I have GTA San Andreas on XBOX 360 and pS2. And the ghost car only rolls down and occasionally attacks me but maybe its true. IDK SanAndreasSecrets 15:28, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ufos are true!
i get very angry when someone says there are no ufos in-game. let me make a few things clear:
1. The fast moving lights in the sky (red,clear or any other color) are planes.
2.Rockstar has never confirmed or declined ufos in the game. However they did state quote: "We did not intintinally put ufo's in-game.However, there may be some data still in the game we thought to have deleted." That being said i promise i saw a ufo it was a black octagon shape it appered and then faded into the clouds.
hi,listen!i was at area 69 okay,and i kept my ps2 on for a couple in-game hours,anyway,at mid-day,there was this red tral thing that had a light beig followed by the trail.it started 2 cum down.maybe at about the top of the first altitude bar,i took out my lock-on bazooka.i shot it down!but this thing came out,i shot it,but it was invincible,but i had the invincibility cheat on.and inf ammo cheat on.this happend when i was like,screw it,im bored,im spawning a hunter,thats wen i saw it come at me.i was like,wtf!omg!!it tryed 2 shoot me,and i took a snapshot of it.then i saved it in my memory card.it was about 2x as tall as me,brown/dark green.this was the second time i saw one.the first time i saw one was in my hydra,doin a sortie(manuevers,barrel roll,loop-de-loop,and evasive manuevers.(stlling plane so enemy plane passes me,using flares).anyways,i locked on.it was going so fast,from the end of my airstrip,to approximatley to the hoover damn,or whateve it is n the game,took it about...a good 5,10 seconds.i know it is a ufo,because no other fixed wing aircraft,such as the beagle,nevada,hydra,dodo,or shamal could go that fast.GTA MAN87 00:36, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
Actually, those fast moving lights in the sky may not be planes, as in the games files they are called UFOLIGHT. However, this may just mean that the UFO's are up in the sky just for ambience, they never come down. The rest of the stuff you said, as explained in above discussions, cannot be true. These models/handling lines/weapons DO NOT appear in the games files, and so would obviously not be in the game itself without an unoficcial mod. Also, you claimed that a UFO "Attacked you" and that it "Shot at you". Perhaps you confused this UFO with a Police Maverick as you were near Area 69 you may have gained a wanted level. To sum things up, "No image, No proof" and anyone attempting to counter this saying will not succeed, as no one will believe them. Chimpso 08:40, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
GTA MAN87, all I can say is: Without footage, it's fiction. CAPTAINMSKII 19:35, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
- No. Without data from the game files, it's fiction. Since it's a GAME, everything can be explained by the experts who hacked the game (since Rockstar doesn't release any documentation...). Videos and screenshots can be blurred or faked, causing great ambiguity and headaches. And please reply with a colon (:). It makes it easier to see where replies end and start.--Spaceeinstein 01:49, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

- What you said above does not really make sense. You say that if the myths stuff is not in the files then Rockstar must have deleted it. Then how could it be in the game if its not in the files?Chimpso (Talk) 10:22, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
Well Gtaman could you put some proof? I'm 60-40 on the UFO myth. But what if the files are hidden Chimpso? Not trying to be a noob. I have Xbox 360 and Ps2 GTA San Andreas. But I checked my friends GTA SA for Pc using this thing called Img Tool or something and there were 4 files i saw named UFOLiGHT.dff or something like .mg or .dff idk. Please say if im wrong or not.

Again, please verify
Please verify that Big Smoke's ghost actually exist. A blurry blob in a picture is not good enough... Things that do not exist cannot be treated as fact in this website.--spaceeinstein 19:09, 8 June 2011 (BST)
Regarding sharks, are they really a myth since a file is actually found in the game a file named shark.txd? Also, I think I may have spotted one when I fell into the broken bridge near Red County, it like swam away and despawned a second later, but it was probably a dolphin or whatever else is identical to a shark. --TheJustinAllenK (talk)
- There is a craps table in the game files, but does that mean you can actually play craps? The game doesn't spawn the shark, that means sharks doesn't exist in the game.--spaceeinstein 03:54, 28 October 2011 (BST)

Robb's Dramatically Classic Bedroom
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Robb
- Location:
- Elgin , IL
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- I love that everything in it (except for the bed) was found secondhand. I am really proud of the decorative painting, which I designed and painted myself. I haunt flea markets, auctions, and thrift shops to find things that are classic, clean-lined, and striking. My bedroom is the result of years of those unexpected and very affordable discoveries.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- 1. Have an overall vision that you want to achieve, and work toward it as your budget allows.
2. Make it warm and welcoming. Like it or not, your bedroom is seen as an extension of yourself. You don't want people to see it and rethink their opinions of you!
3. Make it comfortable-- splurge for good sheets, supportive pillows, and the right mattress!
4. Accept that if you have pets, it will be their bedroom too. Don't get freaked out if your furry friends want up on the bed.
5. A restful bedroom should help you relax-- so keep the TV and the computer somewhere else!
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- I use my bedroom as a place to rest, relax and read. Books are a big part of my life, so I wanted a room where I could delve into these other worlds and not be distracted. I deliberately chose to exile my computer and television to other rooms-- that way I can focus on the things a proper bedroom is good for: resting, reading, and being loved.

US carries out missile strike against Somali militant, official says
The U.S. military carried out a missile strike in southern Somalia on Sunday to target a senior figure in the Al Shabaab terrorist group who had ties to Al Qaeda, a senior defense official confirmed to Fox News.
But it was unclear if the morning raid, in which witnesses said a vehicle was struck, was successful.
"We'll know more tomorrow," the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Fox News.
The Associated Press, citing a member of Al Shabaab, reported that Sahal Iskudhuq, a member of the Somali rebel group, was killed in the strike, along with his driver.
Last October, a U.S. military strike hit a vehicle carrying senior members of the group, killing its top explosives expert. Earlier that month, U.S. Navy SEALs had raided a coastal Somali town to take down a Kenyan Al Shabaab member. The SEALs withdrew before capturing or killing their target — Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir, known as Ikrima — who was identified as the lead planner of a plot by Al Shabaab to attack Kenya's parliament building and the United Nations office in capital, Nairobi, in 2011 and 2012.
The United States recently sent a handful of conventional U.S. troops to serve in Mogadishu as advisers to the Somali military. They were the first U.S. forces to be sent to the country since the ill-fated "Black Hawk down" incident in 1993, in which 18 service members were killed in urban fighting in Mogadishu.
Kenya has faced multiple attacks by the militants, who want the country's military to leave Somalia. In September, the militants attacked Nairobi's upscale Westgate Mall with guns and grenades, killing at least 67 people.
Al Shabaab is now mostly active in Somalia's rural regions, after being ousted from the capital by African Union forces in 2011. But the group is still able to launch lethal attacks — often involving militants on suicide missions — within Mogadishu, the seat of government.
Fox News' Jennifer Griffin and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Charged Cell Phone Refurbishing Company With Paying Hispanic Workers Less Than Others and Firing Employees Who Complained
NEW YORK – A New York-based company that refurbishes cell phones at its factory in Long Island will pay $435,000 to settle a wage discrimination and retaliation suit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC had charged that First Wireless Group, Inc. engaged in a pattern or practice of race and/or national origin discrimination against a class of Hispanic workers by paying them less for doing the same job as Asian employees and by firing those who complained about the unlawful pay disparity.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit (Civil Action No.03-CV-4990) filed in September 2003 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, after a group of former Hispanic employees became aware that Asian employees were being paid $1.50 to $2.00 or more per hour for performing the same work, they circulated a petition asking for equal pay. Rather than looking into the employees' complaints, the EEOC said, First Wireless responded by firing them and others they believed were involved.
The case was resolved pursuant to a four-year consent decree just signed by Judge Joanna Seybert. The settlement requires that First Wireless pay $435,000 to a class of victims who came forward and testified about their discriminatory treatment. The company must also take substantial steps to prevent future workplace discrimination, including: posting a remedial notice; ensuring that it has a compensation system in place that does not discriminate; and training its managers, supervisors and human resource employees on federal laws that prohibit discrimination. First Wireless also revised its anti-discrimination policy and complaint procedure and will be distributing it to all its employees. The company is also enjoined from discriminating against anyone on the basis of his or her race or national origin and from retaliating against anyone who complains about discrimination.
Federal court will retain jurisdiction over this case for the next four years to ensure that all obligations under the consent decree are met.
"The EEOC is particularly concerned when employers retaliate against people who have the courage to speak out against discrimination," said EEOC Senior Trial Attorney Adela Santos. "This is clearly illegal and we will fight such misconduct."
EEOC New York District Director Spencer H. Lewis, Jr. said, "We are pleased that everyone who stepped forward to testify will be compensated. The EEOC will protect every worker's right to a workplace free of unlawful mistreatment by any employer."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment based on race, color, sex (including sexual harassment and pregnancy), religion, national origin, age, disability, and retaliation. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at http://www.eeoc.gov.

DAVIDSON, N.C. (AP) Kade Bell passed for 313 yards and three touchdowns Saturday and Jacksonville withstood a record-setting receiving day by Lanny Funsten to defeat winless Davidson 34-24 in Pioneer Football League play.
The Dolphins, who improved to 6-1 overall, 4-0 in the PFL, overcame a remarkable performance by the Wildcats' Funsten, whose 17 receptions tied a PFL single-game record. He also set Davidson records for career receptions (191) - breaking the mark of 179 that stood for 42 years - and career receiving yardage (2,362). His 246 receiving yards (including a 12-yard scoring pass from Jonathan Carkhuff) were two yards shy of Davidson's single-game record.
Yet all that, and the passing of Carkhuff (34 for 53, 404 yards, three touchdowns) couldn't prevent Davidson from falling to 0-6, 0-3. Two of Bell's three scoring passes went to D'Andre Randle, the second a 62-yarder. Jacksonville out-rushed Davidson 196-7, 119 by Eric Baker.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reports in the 2013 edition of its annual global security review that Israel possesses some 80 nuclear warheads.
According to SIPRI, 50 of Israel's warheads are built for use atop medium-range ballistic missiles, while the other 30 are designed to be attached to bombs carried by aircraft. The Jewish state is also believed to have developed smaller, tactical nuclear munitions, such as artillery shells.
Israel is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). While it is widely accepted that Israel possesses nuclear arms, Jerusalem maintains an official policy of ambiguity on the topic.
The report went on to note that both India and Pakistan, the world's newest nuclear powers, are in possession of 90-120 warheads each, while France, the UK and China have nuclear arsenals numbering in the hundreds. Russia and the US both possess many thousands of nuclear warheads.
France, the UK, China, Russia and the US are all signatories to the NPT. Nevertheless, SIPRI notes that all five nations have demonstrated that not only do they have no intention of relinquishing their nuclear stockpiles, they are actually further developing their nuclear weapons capabilities.
All told, there are believed to be 17,265 nuclear weapons in the world today, with approximately 4,400 of them classified as "operational."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Sales Manager Made Age-Biased Comments and Fired Sales Representative Because of Age, Federal Agency Charged
PHILADELPHIA — A Tullytown, Pa., distributor of home heating oil has agreed to pay $80,000 and provide significant equitable relief to settle an age discrimination lawsuit, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today. The EEOC charged in its lawsuit that Meenan Oil Company unlawfully fired sales representative Louis Ceccoli of Langhorne, Pa., because of his age, 71.
According to the allegations in the EEOC's lawsuit, Meenan's sales manager made several derogatory comments demonstrating a bias against older workers, including stating that he would like to "remove all the older representatives and replace them with younger employees," repeatedly asking Ceccoli about his retirement plans and commenting that he would retire if he were "as old as" Ceccoli. The EEOC said the sales manager also took sales leads and sales territory from Ceccoli. After the discharge, Meenan Oil replaced Ceccoli with a substantially younger employee.
It is a violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) to treat an employee who is 40 or older less favorably than younger individuals or to terminate him based on age. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 08-cv-5146, in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to the $80,000 in monetary relief for Ceccoli, the three-year consent decree settling the suit requires Meenan to provide anti-discrimination training to all supervisory and management personnel, to require supervisors and managers to oversee their work areas in compliance with company policies against discrimination and retaliation, and to post a notice about the resolution of the lawsuit. Meenan did not admit liability in the consent decree, which is pending judicial approval.
"More than 40 years after the passage of the ADEA, age discrimination charges represent one of the fastest-growing types of complaints filed with the EEOC nationally," said District Director Marie M. Tomasso of the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office. "The EEOC will take action if older employees are illegally forced out of a job based on age."
Acting Regional Attorney Debra Lawrence added, "We appreciate Meenan's willingness to work with the EEOC to resolve this matter and to undertake remedial measures designed to ensure that employees are not subjected to wrongful discrimination in the future."
During Fiscal Year 2008, age discrimination charges surged to a record high 24,582 – an increase of 29 percent from the prior fiscal year.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Others he's the brutally violent vigilante who follows the will of Khonshu, God of Vengeance. Even more personalities may dwell within his schizophrenic psyche, but thankfully, the madness helps make Moon Knight one of the grittiest, most engaging and unpredictable titles in the Marvel line-up.

You know from reading this blog that we're a
"greenie family".
We've made re-cycled crayons in the oven.
So why not harness the power of the sun,
save some electricity,
and melt crayons the old fashioned way.
During Daddy Camp,
Daddy and the girls tried tested this theory
by breaking up crayons,
placing them in metal cookie cutters
on a tin foil covered plate.
At first, the sun wouldn't cooperate
and was hiding out behind some clouds.
Eventually the sun
came out to play
and the girls got to see
the results of their hard work.
Unfortunately, the results were mixed.
The wax did not stay inside the cookie cutter molds,
it leaked out into puddles.
They were much thinner
and more delicate than our
previous batch of re-cycled crayons.
Once we set them to cool overnight
in the garage, (you could speed up the process in the fridge)
the puddle blobs snapped right off and we had clean
crisp edges from the cookie cutters.
We saved them for our
next batch of re-cycled crayons.
The tops stayed chunkier than we would have liked
but the bottoms (where they touched the plate)
were smooth.
I like the way the oven crayons looked better
but... I did those in a Wilton heart mini pan.
I want to repeat this experiment
with candy molds or one of our ice cube trays.

Rockwool Slabs by Grodan6" wide X 3' long X 4" tall. Wrapped.Plant small cubes on slabs.Slabs are used to grow a variety of crops. Tomatoes, peppers, other plants can be easily grown by planting first into a smaller cube then transferring it onto the larger slab. Holes are cut in the top of the slab, the same dimensions of the cube. Some growers will simply cut an x in the plastic top, fold the side up and slip the cube in. Then they tape the folded slab plastic to the smaller cube. This keeps light out and when the top cube is used for a feeding point, it keeps the plant nutrient in. The bottom and ends are sliced to allow the nutrient to flow out of the slab.
