Int. Res. J. Environment Sci., Volume 6, Issue (4), Pages 6-12, April,22 (2017)
The toxicity of lead on the biophysiological parameters of fresh water horn snail, Indoplanorbis exustus was evaluated under laboratory condition. Mortality rate was assessed and lethal concentration LD50 was calculated as 9.886 ppm at 96 h. To determine the toxic properties of lead on metabolism the oxygen consumption rate, biochemical content and bioaccumulation rate were observed in adult snail on exposing them to acute and chronic exposure of lead. The oxygen consumption rate and biochemical content showed decrease in increasing exposure time and concentration. The biomagnifications after chronic exposure to lead showed an accumulation rate of 32 ppm in the snail body at higher concentration. The results showed that the snail I. exustus was sensitive to lead on comparing with other tolerant gastropods.

Until today. I forgot the brushes. I stopped short of gathering yucca leaves and chewing them down to suitable brushes like the Indians did. Instead, I turned to the two painting knives I had in the easel. I don't paint with knives very often, but when I do, it's always an enjoyable experience. The color is always richer and cleaner. (You really have to work hard at making mud with a knife! It's almost impossible.)
I could lighten my load a bit if I painted with knives exclusively in the field. For me, knives means no turps, no medium, and no big handful of brushes. I do go through more paper towels, though, by wiping the knives clean between each color mixture.

For years the Australian Cricket team was seen as the pinnacle of Australian Sport, both children and adults alike knew the names and the faces of the fine players that pulled on the baggy green. Steve Waugh, Mark Taylor, Shane Warne and Adam Gillchrist just to name some of the players that hit our televisions and radios in epic proportions during the November to February period each year.
As we look back on World Cup defeat and another changing of the guard on what was once an unstoppable side, I say, do we hold the Cricketers that take to the field in the gold and green at the top of the tree? Are our cricketers now no longer kings of the playground when it comes to talking about Australia's favourite team?
The Socceroos (Men's Soccer) have staked their claim on many an occasion the most recent of those being their efforts in the previous two FIFA World Cup tournaments, where their performances caught the hearts of a nation. The Kookaburras (Men's Field Hockey) are the only Australian Team sport's team to win a medal at each of the last 4 Olympics, they hold every commonwealth gold, as well as 7 Champions Trophy victories… And a World Cup win.
On the other hand our Australian Diamonds (Women's Netball) have seen a huge increase in fan base as a result of television coverage of all games played within Australia. The Diamonds head to Singapore next month hoping to take home a 9th World Championship victory. A side that played on our minds more in the late 90's early 2000's was the Wallabies, successful and full of household names. Players like George Gregan, John Eales and Stirling Mortlock seemed fearless in the eyes of our New Zealand rivals but without many big name stars currently gracing the Wallabies pitch, it seems as though they are in for a long haul out of the spotlight of Australian sport. The Wallabies travel to New Zealand later this year in search of their 2nd World Cup win and the first since 1999.
As Australian sports fans, we seem to want to support our codes in games that mean something, World Cups, World Championships or some sort of qualifiers. Teams like our Boomers and Opals get big headlines only for the FIBA World Basketball Championships, or when one of our many Australian talents is putting down points in the big leagues. Many women's teams have been ten back due to the lack of coverage of their endeavours, for example the Matildas (Womens Soccer) will travel to Germany a the start of July to tackle for 2011 World Cup Glory and also the Hockeyroos (Womens Hockey) who are one of the most successful sporting teams in Australia.
The Reality that to be touted as Australia's sporting team there needs to be a high percentage of both success and marketability. The Wallabies in the 90's used the nickname to help develop their brand, the Australian Cricket team of the early part of the century had enough success that marketability didn't become an issue and for our current day Socceroos, the success over the past years has shown the world that Football in Australia is growing. The Success of the A-League has strengthened that as well as the marketability of its players and our players currently playing at English Premier League clubs has once again enhanced our view of these players as the key to Socceroos success.
All in all, will it just take a name for the Australian Cricket team to once again fill our hearts or have the Socceroos moved their way in like the proverbial step mother that at first we hated but are now starting to get used to? The Wallabies, Diamonds and Boomers all remain within reach with success the only thing keeping them from our love once more. Whilst exposure is still the main issue with our Hockey sides.
If Cricket Australia were to name the Australian Cricket team, what nickname would you give them?

November 9, 2002, Section B, Page 7Buy Reprints
The wise men of Chelm may be among the most familiar folk characters in the Jewish tradition. In an imaginary East European shtetl, these paragons of scholarship and righteousness are shown to be fools. The moon is not in the sky? Chelmites seek it in a nearby town where, after two weeks, they find it reflected in a barrel of water. They quickly seal the barrel and bring it home.
There is always a knowing wink in these tales, but who is being laughed at? The fools who don't realize they are fools? Those who don't recognize wisdom latent in the foolishness? The corrupt world, which makes innocent foolishness seem like sanctified wisdom? Just kidding, the tales proclaim, but about what?
''Chelm is child,'' the 20th-century Yiddish writer Itzik Manger intoned. ''Golden childish naïveté is crucified on the poles of the world's sly refined perversions.''
But in reading the first four books released in the New Yiddish Library -- a major series of Yiddish literature in translation being published by Yale University Press -- Chelm seems eerily representative of a recurring Yiddish theme. Like Chelm stories, Yiddish literature can be unpredictably unsettling, combining innocence and sentiment with dark sarcasm and knowing irony. Modernity makes its demands and traditional societies outwit it, join it or are overwhelmed by it.
For example, included in ''The World According to Itzik: Selected Poetry and Prose'' -- the first English anthology of works devoted to Manger, who died in 1969 -- is a different kind of Chelm story. Chelmites seeking Justice are craftily sold the rare substance in a sealed barrel by an innkeeper. But Manger is darkly winking. A stench emerging from the barrel gives the joke a deathly cast. ''Justice stinks!'' the rabbi proclaims as he sniffs. He orders the barrel buried. His wisdom becomes renowned.
O.K., then, one thinks, this is allegory: ''Justice'' -- as the world calls it -- really does have a stench to the residents of Chelm. But the story continues: Manger adds that ''for the sake of the truth,'' he must point out that despite his disappointment with human justice, the rabbi retains his faith. The story ends with the rabbi's mystical dance by candlelight, his illumined body and his black shadow image finally collapsing together in the silence of death. As David G. Roskies and the translator, Leonard Wolf, point out in their introduction, divine justice and its human counterpart make an uneasy union. And a contemporary consciousness seems to hover over a premodern world.
This is a recurring theme. Another new anthology of Yiddish stories, ''No Star Too Beautiful'' (Norton), edited and translated by Joachim Neugroschel, has selections reaching back to 1382, but the encounter between modernity and a traditional society is one of its main preoccupations as well.
In fact, the confrontation is almost unavoidable, since Yiddish was itself the vernacular language of Jews living in the Germanic lands, combining aspects of German and Hebrew. Already inscribed in its character is an encounter and an accommodation, transforming something ancient into something still taking shape. The flowering of Yiddish literature at the end of the 19th century through the middle of the 20th is a wildly diverse reaction to yet another set of encounters and accommodations, this time between traditional Judaism and the secular West. Those encounters have unusual resonance as cultures bound by beliefs and ritual are confronted with a Western world they alternately yearn for and fear.
In the United States, Yiddish literature entered the literary mainstream with the 1953 publication of ''A Treasury of Yiddish Stories,'' edited by Irving Howe and Eliezer Greenberg (and including Saul Bellow's classic translation of Isaac Bashevis Singer's story ''Gimpel the Fool''). Within a few decades no more introductions were needed. Yiddish phrases were assimilated into pop culture; the musical ''Fiddler on the Roof'' sentimentalized the stories of Sholem Aleichem; Singer won a Nobel Prize.
But Mr. Roskies, the editor of the New Yiddish Library and professor of Jewish literature at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan, suggested in an interview last week that Yiddish literature as a whole has still not entered the academic mainstream, nor has it benefited from interest in multiculturalism. ''The impact of Howe's early anthology was very profound,'' Mr. Roskies explained. ''But the focus of that anthology was the shtetl; Howe conveyed a world still shtetl-bound. And his literary predilections went toward realism.''
But Yiddish literature, Mr. Roskies said, became a literature of encounters with other worlds -- with the Soviet Union, with the urban experience, with Poland between the world wars, with America: ''It embraced the whole mode of modernity, not just in subject but in style.''
One of the goals of Yale's series, he explained, is to reveal that breadth and establish its place in world literary culture. It is being sponsored by the Fund for the Translation of Jewish Literature (established by the historian Lucy S. Dawidowicz) and the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Mass. The first releases include two previously published books -- ''The Dybbuk and Other Writings'' by S. Ansky and the ''I. L. Peretz Reader'' -- along with the Manger anthology and Hillel Halkin's new translations of Aleichem.
Mr. Roskies has put together an international editorial board and plans to publish works by better-known writers like Sholem Asch, along with neglected books, including a single-volume abridgment of I. J. Trunk's seven-volume Yiddish memoir, ''Poland.'' Also on the wish list are books by Jacob Glatstein, Moyshe Kulbak and Lamed Shapiro.
Meanwhile, the current releases emphasize the recurring themes of encounter and disruption. Even the authors led disrupted lives: Ansky, a Russian revolutionary who once shunned Judaism, ended up collecting Jewish folk materials before fleeing the Bolsheviks; Aleichem came to the United States after a string of financial disasters spurred by his secular ambitions; Peretz, deprived by the czar of the right to practice law, turned to an insecure life of journalism; Manger fled Warsaw for Paris in 1938 and then to North Africa and England.
But disruption of the traditional social and religious orders was even more traumatic, particularly because it was often so hostile. ''Impressions of a Journey Through the Tomaszow Region in 1890,'' is Peretz's journalistic account of his attempts to gather information on the Jews of Poland; the goal was to counter anti-Semitic myths of conspiracy and power with detailed descriptions of Jewish poverty using a peculiarly modern tool: statistics.
But the world of modernity, with all its hostility, was also a world of promise. This may be why the voices of children seem so essential in this literature: the emerging world makes the adult feel like a child, overwhelmed by confusion and rebellion, lacking, like an immigrant, proper language and customs. But the child first learns to adapt. Aleichem's ''Motl, the Cantor's Son,'' an unfinished novel that was one of the first accounts of Jewish emigration to the United States, is narrated by a 9-year-old boy.
Of course barrels of Justice are never entirely what they seem, and the darkest brooding emerges in selections by Manger, who was, as the editor and translator point out, a ''modernist folk bard.'' His work is suffused with influences from European literature; he retells stories from the Bible, setting them in the contemporary world. He wrote verse that chills with its sense of ominous consequence for lost innocence:
An infected wind weeps in our garden;
Before our house, a scarlet lantern glows;
Death's silver razors play, like fiddle bows,
White music on the throats of pious calves.
In such a world, who wouldn't seek wisdom from the rabbi of Chelm?

Merrell's Strong Kids is a social and emotional learning curriculum, developed under the direction of the late Kenneth W. Merrell, PhD and with his research group at the University of Oregon, the Oregon Resiliency Project (ORP). Given the alarming rates of childhood mental health problems and subsequent poor access to services, the focus on addressing mental health problems has shifted from treating disease to primary prevention and building strength.
Now in it's 2nd edition, Merrell's Strong Kids an easy-to-use, low cost, and practical approach to teaching students skills that can build resilience. Content is based on a cognitive-behavioral approach, using evidence-based instruction, and an opportunity to infuse everyday examples for your students. Ten to 12 lessons focus on identifying emotions in self and others, managing emotions, empathy and perspective taking, stress management, managing anger, setting goals, healthy living strategies, and solving interpersonal problems. Brief mindfulness practices are also an optional strategy to preparing students for each lesson.
Merrell's Strong Kids is comprised of:
- Merrell's Strong Start PreK
- Merrell's Strong Start K-2
- Merrell's Strong Kids Grades 3-5
- Merrell's Strong Kids Grades 6-8, and
- Merrell's Strong Teens Grades 9-12
The curriculum has been evaluated with students in regular and special education classrooms, with at-risk, urban, and culturally diverse populations, immigrants to the United States, and students living in a residential facility. Results from this research are encouraging and are expected to grow over many years. The response from educators has been universally positive.
For more information on the program and supportive materials, visit: strongkidsresources.com.
For more information on training, contact Barbara Gueldner at: firstname.lastname@example.com or 970-761-0041.
Each level of Merrell's Strong Kids is available separately from Paul H. Brookes Publishing
Per the wishes of the late Dr. Merrell, all royalties go to the Kenneth W. Merrell Legacy Scholarship. This fund annually awards graduate students in the School Psychology Program at the University of Oregon who demonstrate promise for leadership and service in the field.

They would seem more at home in Austria or Switzerland, zipping up the side of the Alps. But suddenly, American cities from Albany to Austin, Tex., are pinning their hopes on, of all things, gondolas.
The allure is not just speed. Gondolas do not contribute to greenhouse gases, and they soar over clogged highways and balky subway signals. They are relatively fast and cheap to build. And unlike most forms of transportation, they offer singular vistas that attract tourism as well.
In New York State alone, there have been at least three recent proposals for gondolas. One plan, the East River Skyway, would connect Williamsburg in Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan with a gondola that would rise to 415 feet alongside the Williamsburg Bridge.
In Albany, an engineering firm is pushing a gondola that would run from the Amtrak station in Rensselaer, one of the busiest in the country, across the Hudson River to downtown Albany. A third proposal to build a gondola at the state fairgrounds in Syracuse — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had put $15 million in the state budget for the attraction — has met resistance, and the money has gone elsewhere.
Despite a dozen gondola proposals around the United States, in cities as varied as Seattle, Tampa, Chicago and Baton Rouge, La., only one such system has opened in recent years. The Portland Aerial Tram, which was built mainly to relieve crowding at Oregon Health and Science University, recently had its 10th anniversary. The tram drew more than two million riders last year and has spurred economic development in the area.
Backers of gondolas in New York recognize the hurdles in convincing both elected officials and the riding public that aerial transit's time has come.
"There's not really a road map for doing this type of project," said Daniel Levy, president of CityRealty, a real estate listings and data website, and the man behind East River Skyway. "If you are doing an office building or apartment building, those things get built every day."
Mr. Levy lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. During a ski trip to Chamonix, France, in the Alps a few years ago, he had an epiphany of sorts.
"I stumbled upon a brand-new state-of-the-art gondola system in France and it frankly reminded me of a New York City subway car," he recalled. "It was quite large, with 35 passengers per car. And by the time I got halfway up the mountain, I said, 'Jeez, why isn't there one of these between Brooklyn and Manhattan?' The congestion on the L train is legendary."
And the L train itself will shut down for 15 months for repairs, beginning in 2019.
In 2014, Mr. Levy formed East River Skyway, a limited liability corporation. He has since talked to anyone who will listen — including officials in City Hall and potential investors — about his vision for a 1.8-mile system that would have cables strung across a half-dozen towers carrying 120,000 people a day, between the intersection of Delancey and Chrystie Streets in Manhattan, to two different stops in Williamsburg.
Like the proponents of the Albany-Rensselaer gondola, Mr. Levy thinks that the East River Skyway could be built with private financing and supported through a combination of ticket sales (monthly passes of about $25 to $30) and corporate sponsorships, similar to Citi Bike, the bicycle sharing program.
"We envision it being a profitable endeavor and that's why there is interest from the private sector," said Mr. Levy, who declined to identify potential backers. "But first and foremost, having experienced this type of technology, I think it would be a beautiful addition to the skyline and a beautiful way for people to start their day."
New York already has something akin to a gondola: About three miles north of the proposed East River Skyway, the Roosevelt Island Tramway has been operating since 1976. (An aerial tram has one very large cabin going in both directions; a gondola uses many smaller cabins that run continuously in a circle.)
Nonetheless, there are skeptics. Transportation Alternatives, the bicycle and pedestrian advocacy group, said that a gondola, while worth pursuing, was not a solution to the coming shutdown of the L train for repairs related to Hurricane Sandy. Rather, the group was focused on urging the city to create a network of dedicated bus lanes in and around the L train corridor.
"In the bigger picture, none of these concepts are necessarily either/or," said Caroline Samponaro, the group's deputy director, referring to gondolas versus bus lanes. "But the gondola is not something on our list of priorities right now."
In Syracuse, a gondola seemed far less a priority there than it was to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who included it in his executive budget in January. The gondola would "transport visitors and concertgoers between the fairgrounds and Onondaga County's Lakeview Amphitheater," according to the budget summary.
The Post-Standard in Syracuse was not impressed. In a scathing editorial, it wrote that the gondola proposal had "boondoggle written all over it," adding that it was the "butt of jokes in Albany." The money for the gondola has apparently gone to other needs at the state fairgrounds.
While the fate of the fairgrounds gondola seems murky at best, another gondola plan seems to be gaining traction in the state capital. State lawmakers and others who get off Amtrak trains in Rensselaer often compete for taxis to take them over the Hudson to Empire State Plaza, the state government complex in downtown Albany, and a new convention center.
The so-called Capital District Gondola Project was conceived by the McLaren Engineering Group, a firm in West Nyack, N.Y., with offices in Albany. The company commissioned a feasibility study; teamed up with a number of firms, including Doppelmayr USA, a leader in gondolas; and appointed a project manager, Peter Melewski, who worked on the hugely popular state historic park in Poughkeepsie known as Walkway Over the Hudson.
According to Mr. Melewski, the gondola would connect the Rensselaer rail station to two locations in downtown Albany. Four dozen cabins would stretch along a one-mile-long steel cable supported by 14 towers. Plans call for the gondola to operate 16 hours a day, transporting at least 3,000 passengers an hour.
"There's a lot of interest in urban gondolas right now," Mr. Melewski said. "You are seeing the same thing with ferries, where the ridership far exceeds what is estimated. You know when you are going to get on and off, and you are not stuck in traffic."

A major MIM processor wanted to produce a case with a long, cylindrical cavity. This cavity was to be achieved by a core in the mold. On the first trials, the core was deforming significantly and perforating the molded case.
A core deformation simulation with SIGMASOFT® was performed to understand the causals of this phenomenon. It was clear that the thermal expansion of the core, as well as the unbalanced pressure along the core, where producing an excessive deformation which compromised the tolerances of the case cavity molded.
Different concepts of tempering for the core where compared. In a first approach, a water tempering was proposed. A thermal simulation demonstrated that while the problem seemed to be reduced, the heat retrieved by the water tempering was still not enough to minimize the thermal expansion. A second proposal was to replace the water for copper inserted under pressure into the core. In this way, excellent contact between the steel core and the copper insert was guaranteed. Water was used on the base of the copper insert. The copper insert, immersed in water, proved to remove more effectively the heat out of the core on each cycle and to minimize the core thermal expansion, so that the part finally had a better dimensional stability.

1999-2009 was the first African Decade of Persons with Disabilities, established by the African Union to encourage the full participation, equality and empowerment of people with disabilities in Africa. During the first Decade, the Secretariat prioritised facilitating partnerships throughout society; assisting the most vulnerable groups – such as persons with intellectual disabilities, persons who are deaf-blind and those with albinism – to have a voice; and launching the African Campaign on Disability and HIV/AIDS to mainstream disability in AIDS services and response programmes.
The Secretariat also advocates for the ratification and implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and monitoring of different protocols relating to the rights of disabled persons in Africa.
The Decade has now been extended to 2010-2019 – the Second African Decade. The Secretariat is part of the broader movement against conflict and is currently cooperating with the African Union on matters related to disability, peace and security and the plight of disabled people in countries emerging from war situations. An important aspect of this work is to advocate for the implementation of policies related to disability by agencies involved with disaster management, refugees and other displaced persons, including policies and strategies for repatriation and resettlement. For instance, when the camps in Gulu, Uganda, were dismantled in 2009, disabled persons were left in the camp with few support services. Their plight was addressed after an international outcry and intervention.

DURHAM DOSSIER: No pace, no cutting edge and a needless red card... so why do Stoke persist with Walters? (And there is no point in Guidetti's loan from Man City)
- Jonathan Walters could well be the slowest player in the Premier League
- Walters does not score enough for a Premier League striker
- Peter Crouch's best days are behind him - he needs to rely on instincts
- John Guidetti's loan move from Manchester City to Stoke is odd
- Carrow Road tribute to Forbes was a class act
I was at Carrow Road on Saturday, Stoke missed some chances because their strikers are useless, then Norwich took control of the game, before Stoke got a dodgy penalty and Jon Walters got himself needlessly sent off. Norwich were unlucky not to win.
The Jon Walters Question…
Is Jon Walters really a Premier League player? What do you think?
He left a foot in high on Alex Tettey and he thoroughly deserved his red card. There was no need to do it – what was going through Walters' mind?
Walters was captain at his previous club Ipswich Town, but he showed no leadership on Saturday, he let his Stoke team-mates down.
There are many who criticise the Premier League for a lack of quality. Walters is their poster boy. He works hard, and that's about it.
VIDEO Scroll down to watch post-match reactions from Chris Hughton and Mark Hughes
Grafter: Jonathan Walters is the epitome of the Stoke team with his industry, but he showed a lack of leadership in getting sent off
It's an admirable quality for sure, but Premier League players should have the whole package, or something special that separates them from mere mortal footballers.
Walters' story is an example to many in that he was a bit wayward as a youngster, released by top flight clubs, and fought his way back.
Saturday's red card aside, he has become a true professional, and that should be admired. However, that alone shouldn't be enough to sustain a top flight career.
Maybe I've been missing that secret something that makes Walters special.
Too many ex-professionals and pundits are blandly kind about footballers. I just tell the truth as I see it. I think even some of those who feel they have to be nice about Walters, agree deep down with what I'm saying.
It's not rocket science…
Neither side is prolific and I wasn't expecting a goalfest. The goals that came were not down to great attacking play – Ryan Shawcross must have objected to Bradley Johnson's BO because he inexplicably stepped away from his man at a set-piece and Johnson headed home. Poor defending.
Stoke's equaliser was a dodgy penalty.
Breakthrough: It took 56 minutes before Bradley Johnson headed in for Norwich to open the scoring against Stoke at Carrow Road
Delight: Johnson runs away to celebrate with Nathan Redmond after the goal
Spot on: Jonathan Walters earned Stoke a point by converting a 73rd-minute penalty
Shush: Walters expressed delight at his equaliser but he was later sent off for a high challenge on Alex Tettey
Looking over their shoulder: Both Stoke and Norwich are not entirely clear of the relegation dogfight
There are different reasons why these two sides don't score enough goals: Stoke's strikers aren't good enough, Crouch's best days are behind him. He sometimes struggles to work out whether to use his head or feet, taking so long to make a simple decision the chance is gone.
Let's just say he's long since stopped playing off instinct. Crouch also missed a one-on-one early on which set the tone for his 90 minutes.
Is Walters the slowest player in the Premier League? He's way too slow to cause enough problems.
Stoke need pace and they need a finisher. Actually they need new strikers in the summer, it really is that simple.
Lost instincts: Peter Crouch didn't have his most impressive display against Norwich
High boot: Walters was dismissed for a challenge of Alexander Tettey during the closing stages of the match, but Norwich were unable to grab a winner
Seeing red: Referee Andre Marriner sends Walters for an early bath
Norwich have finishers in Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Gary Hooper – check their records at other clubs, they're prolific. But they don't get the service.
In central midfield, Wes Hoolahan is their creative spark but he's not creative enough, not consistently game in game out.
Robert Snodgrass and Russell Martin were very wasteful with their delivery on the right, Martin Olsson is perhaps guilty of being too cautious on the left – I'd love to see him marauding more down the flank and on the few occasions he has done that this season he's made a difference.
The star man is Nathan Redmond, he's fantastic. So good on the ball, his feet are quick and he can take on his man. His final delivery isn't quite good enough, whether that's a cross or a shot. He's being played out wide but I reckon he'd be a superstar in the hole.
If Chris Hughton is brave enough to put him there, I think Norwich could flourish. Those strikers need to be given more clear-cut chances, the Canaries need to be cleverer.
Star man: Nathan Redmond was again impressive for Norwich with his pace and ability to take on defenders
The most ironic penalty of the season…
Go back through some games this season and you'll find Stoke defenders regularly pulling and pushing, barging and holding opponents as they are trying to keep the ball out of Asmir Begovic's net. Rarely do they have penalties given against them.
Disbelief: Sebastien Bassong reacts after being adjudged to have fouled John Guidetti, leading to Stoke's equaliser
Yet here at Carrow Road, Sebastien Bassong and John Guidetti went for a ball together, both were equally physical, Guidetti ended up on the ground, the referee gave a penalty. I couldn't see it.
How do Stoke get away with persistent fouling when they're defending, and yet they benefited from a frankly ridiculous penalty gifted to them at Norwich.
The most pointless loan move of the season …
Has to be Sweden's Guidetti switching from Manchester City to Stoke. Before the game the promising striker had played just 40 minutes of football for Stoke since joining in January.
At Norwich he came on after 63 minutes (he came on for Peter Odemwingie who I didn't realise was playing), won a dubious penalty, and then was substituted 17 minutes later after Walters' red card.
Used sparingly: John Guidetti, on loan from Manchester City, came on as a substitute, won a penalty that Walters (right) converted, and was then subbed off again when Walter got a red card
That won't please the Swede who was already expressing frustration at a lack of game time under Mark Hughes before January had drawn to a close.
Guidetti scored 20 goals in 23 games for Feyenoord two seasons ago. Stoke lack a decent finisher. Your work it out for yourselves. You'd think Hughes, a great striker in his day, would be able to join up the dots on that one.
At least Walters' red card means Guidetti should get a chance.
Never forget your history…
Norwich City devoted the matchday to one of their legends, Duncan Forbes. He was a bruising centre half who spent 33 years at Carrow Road on and off the pitch. Now aged 72, Forbes is suffering with Alzheimer's, and is now in a care home.
Sadly he was unable to attend the game, but some of his former team-mates including Martin Peters, were there, along with Forbes' wife and family. Norwich City raised money for Alzheimer's UK on the day.
All clubs have their legends, some have more than others. It's a beautiful thing that Norwich City did on Saturday: not just fund-raising, but also ensuring new generations of Norwich fans never forget the legends.
Tributes to a legend: Carrow Road paid homage to former stalwart Duncan Forbes, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease

Design Brief for Jerky Ben
Company or website name:Jerky Ben
Slogan or taglines:Hate the Man, Love the Meat. - I am a fun loving fat guy who likes to make beef jerky. I love people, i love life, I love Jerky,
Describe your company and organization and target audience:The name of the product: Jerky Ben
The Tagline: HATE THE MAN, NOT THE MEAT.
I make a beef jerky product. Right now i plan on selling from my house but i may decide to sell in local stores and online. My jerky is a high quality jerky and comes in a variety of flavor. The brand element for the product is me, Ben. I live in a tight knight community and am well known. I do a lot of community work, and I am involved in a lot of community projects. I have been in several articles and have received many awards for my service. I am known to be a funny, outgoing, loves life, loves people kind of guy. I am also a really fat guy and the natural assumption is fat people make good food. That is why name "Jerky Ben" is a funny name.
My target audience are people who like jerky. Again, I am not selling this on a wide level. This is a hobby, i make it, i sell it to friends who pre-order, i give it to people . My jerky is awesome. I want them blown away when they see the package and set their expectations super high. I also want the package to make them laugh a little about "Ben".
The design should be a charicature of comical, it is meant to be self deprecating in a humorous manner, not downgrading. The guy should not be a slob, just someone who you look at and you say "Wow, this guys knows meat and how to have fun"
The design should have the following:I am not sure which way to go on the design. On one hand i like the clean flat look, on the other hand, I cant get the image of a big fat bearded guy (me) sitting on his ass on the couch in pajamas and a wife beater drinking a beer.
The jerky will be packaged in a 4x6 mylar bag (https://goo.gl/691ChK). I will print the labels on a high gloss or matte finish. Not sure yet and then afffix them to the bag.
I probably will not make a separate label for every flavor. I will need all the flavors listed out vertically somewhere on the label (bottom right?) with a checbox and i will check off the flavor.
Maple Bourbon
Jalapeno Lime
Lemon Pepper
Chile Coconut Thai
Hickory Heat
I won an award called the "Community Chesed Award" last year, i think it would be pretty funny to have some kind of seal on the product saying "Endorsed by the 2018 Community Chesed Award Winner" Like a round stamp, kind of like an award stamp.
Ingredients: Made with Fleish from Weissmandle Shechita, mcontains garlic, salt, onions, liquid aminos. May contain, bourbon, maple syrup, lemon, lime, jalapeno, pineapple, ginger, natural hickory smoke, coconut, chili peppers, black peppers. Does not contain any eggs, peanuts, soy,or dairy.

Stunt Scooters have grown to be the fastest-selling Stunt scooter in the United Kingdom. Stunt scooters may differ from the regular child is scooter because they are constructed in your mind with efficiency and toughness. A few of the child is scooters available on the market nowadays may have choices like bars for transport that is easy. Nevertheless having a stunt scooter you will need the cafes to fundamentally be welded towards the terrace for power. Units on stunt scooters often even be made of strengthened supplies like aluminum so that they do not click when tricks and methods are arrived in it.
Slamm really are a British manufacturer that incredible create a few of the greatest stunt scooters within their budget range and currently have just existed a couple of years. Yes you will get additional manufacturers of scooters which are just like legendary but more will be paid by you for these scooters. Your regular drive scooter has existed for roughly ten years today however in recent decades there's been an explosion within the stunt driver. Where the scooter world reaches having the ability to ideal multiple tail whips or back-flips on stunt scooter is. Because they emerge Slamm have their particular professional driver group who not just reach test-run these scooters and fresh versions, they likewise have feedback in to the layout procedure on which is going right into a scooter to create it a worthwhile trip and know More about the author.
Specification of the stunt scooter
What Stunt Scooters have been able to create is just a selection of stunt scooters that match the novice through towards the professional driver. At this time they are with each one of these being increased on the minute variations of their versions. For that novice and probably the Slamm models' most common may be the Slamm Trend. This scooter is simply ideal for these advancing in to the stunt scooter industry from their drive scooter. This design has somewhat larger bars and a somewhat smaller terrace compared to different versions. This makes beginning learning and involving tricks and technique only a little simpler. The Slamm Trend 2 improved having a block down-tube rather than one that is round that its predecessor had. The reason behind this for real power within the down-tube stopped the opportunity of the down-tube breaking. The Trend 2 also arrived for supreme design with new dropped BMX bars.

Hello, Swerved Nation. On the four-year anniversary of this blog, I bet you are wondering why you are reading these words, rather than watching strippers jump out of a cake. The answer is simple. For one, I do not appreciate strippers who are eager to ruin celebratory food. For two, I am afraid that this may not be the best time for an adult celebration. As the hilarious and informative memories come flooding back into your mind, hold onto them as if they were your children or most prized possessions. If you believe your children are your most prized possessions, that's fine. Whatever. I'm not here to judge. Let those memories tide you over as I embark on a new adventure. I have agreed to become a missionary.
When the Professional Wrestling Missionary Organization offered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to me, I was thrilled. If you turn on the right kind of news, you will see men and women from all parts of the world, struggling to live happy and healthy lives. Originally, I thought my job was to teach clueless but eager lovers from Third World countries how to properly chain wrestling moves together until they ended up in the missionary position. Even though that is not my actual goal, I aim to impart the rest of my knowledge to them. First, I must consult my library of wrestling encyclopedias to uncover an aspect of the business that does not involve getting it on, but that shouldn't take long. I don't think those sections contain pictures.
In the event I do not make it back to this glorious sanctuary, I urge you to celebrate the four-year milestone on my behalf. Pin the tail to the donkey part of your choice. Spend as many seconds in the heavenly closet as you want. Do not let the DJ tell you when to throw your hands up in the air and shake it like a Shake Weight. Once the party dies down, all I ask is that you take care of my to-do list. As you can tell from this mighty list, I have many responsibilities. While I do not expect you to accomplish twenty tasks out of twenty, I believe in you. You are capable of knocking off a quarter of them (at the most).
Whatever happens, remember that The Swerved was the place we made together so that we could swerve one another. The most important part of my life was the time that I swerved with you. That's why all of us are here. Nobody swerves alone. I swerved you and you swerved me. Swervedspeed, my people.
1) Please take care of Kaitlyn for me. Since last week's episode of NXT, she has been recovering from Michelle McCool's kick of jealousy and hatred at my palatial estate. I know she appeared on SmackDown three days later showing no signs of pain or discomfort, but trust me. She was hurting on the inside. To pick up her spirits, I have let Kaitlyn give me several wedgies. I told her that each wedgie was stronger than the last, but that is a lie. The kick has weakened her, leaving my undergarments loosely wedged up my buttocks. It's not even bunching. I'm not sure how to break it to her.
2) Please urge R-Truth to stop telling people how to live their lives. At first, R-Truth only wanted know how and what we were doing with our ourselves. Now, he is forcing us to "knuckle up" and "get krunk." You are asking wrestling fans to engage in two physical activities — one of which involves acquiring an intangible item. I did not see either activity mentioned in the TV Guide summary for Friday Night SmackDown. Besides, Eve is already following your instructions. Why are you so demanding, Ron Killings? What is up with you?
3) Please tell Aladdin that is he is not alone anymore. The Undertaker's urn has returned. As of this moment, there are now two men who get ahead in life with the help of a mystical, golden container. Aladdin does not have to settle for Jasmine. Finally, he can date a woman who doesn't look like she could be his cousin or sister.
4) Please keep John Cena from using the dropkick ever again. World Wrestling Entertainment cannot afford to lose its top star to such a high risk, death-defying move. If he does the collar-and-elbow tie-up, hold him down until he learns how to cool those jets. Ground that purple and yellow, aerodynamic wonder.
5) Please instruct motorcycle helmet manufacturers to increase the density and thickness of their products. Lacey Von Erich has immediately recovered from helmet-assisted blows to the head long enough. Perhaps they should start modelling their helmets after the contents and shape of her sturdy cranium.
6) Please ask Vickie Guerrero about in-ring and out-of-ring boyfriends. I was under the impression that WWE romances weren't location specific. In particular, I want to know what happens if a woman's in-ring boyfriend makes it to the ropes at any point in the relationship. Is that relationship over, or does it continue until the counsellor can determine the winner?
7) Please tell TNA that lesbians are not always the answer. Disingenuous displays of girl-on-girl affection are capable of enlivening the following events: tractor pulls, taco restaurant grand openings, crew cut competitions, t.A.T.u. concerts, impromptu pillow fights, planned pillow fights, and slack fittings. Let it be known that I did not mention that these displays increase ratings or interest in a weekly, confusing wrestling show.
8) Please bury me in a glass case of cement. Use the fancy kind, not the store-bought brand. I see no blue on my collar. At my hairline, remember to stop pouring the liquid cement. Do not bury me any further or I cannot come back to life via unprecedented coffin resurrection at a later date.
9) Please congratulate MVP on regaining his sleeves. The VIP Lounge gets chilly in the Fall. I didn't want him to catch a cold. Thanks to sleeves, errbody in the club getting comfy.
10) Please take that brown suit jacket away from CM Punk. Before he became Batman, I'm pretty sure Bruce Wayne gave him that jacket in confidence. Now, I suspect Punk was warm the whole time. Batman and I are disappointed with his decision to wear the jacket for pleasure and business.
11) Please thank John Morrison for bringing parkour to WWE television. The stylish traversal of a diverse environment is the perfect way to distract people from the fact that you are an expert on hippopotamus breath. Apparently, you know hippopotamus breath so well that you can compare it to the breaths of other mammals. You could have just walked down that hallway, but no. You must think. The smoky and woody scent of that hippo's mouth air has inspired many an analogy.
12) Please note that Fourtune is my favourite wrestling stable of the past ten years. Well-dressed men who wear sunglasses indoors, give sexually suggestive shout outs to Matt Hardy with their hands, and don't know how to spell fortune are my kind of people. I'm over Ric Flair, though. Matt Hardy does not find four fingers any more pleasurable than three. I would even dare to say that the addition of the fourth finger would hurt Matt's special area.
13) Please help Jay Lethal live out better dreams. I don't care how you get it done. Maybe he needs a warmer glass of milk, or a larger number of sheep to count. No normal young man dreams of winning, then losing, then winning the fourth most important championship in the second largest promotion in North America by default. If he wants to dream small, he might as well dream about winning a free scratch ticket made possible by scratching his first ticket.
14) Please gussy up the Hell in a Cell before the Pay-Per-View. For years, this cell has been unfairly treated, written off as a cesspool of death and destruction. Recently, I purchased floral wallpaper and a matching living room set. All you need to do is buy a 50-inch, high-definition television with surround sound, silk drapes, a miniature refrigerator, and a framed portrait of the family to hang over the mantle. This portrait would feature the Hell in a Cell, the Kennel from Hell, the steel cage, the blue steel cage, and the Punjabi Prison (the black sheep of the family) posing together in knitted Christmas sweaters. Let us turn this hell into a home.
15) Please interrogate Ricardo Rodriguez. I want to know where he hid the bodies. If he tells you they were in Del Rio's piñata, tie him to the ceiling. Next, smack him across the face with a festive piñata stick until the truth comes out. Those piñatas were intended for fun purposes only.
16) Please weld two folding chairs together to accommodate Naomi's gargantuan buttocks. Folding chair technology will not improve itself. That way, she will be able to dedicate one seat to each cheek. World Wrestling Entertainment can charge her twice as if she is a fat person required to purchase two seats on an airplane.
17) Please give my regards to the Knockouts as they attempt to rule the Pay-Per-View world with TNA Mad Sexy: Volume 1. All night long, these sexy and sensual bombshells will wear next to nothing while angrily reacting to alarming discoveries. Watch The Beautiful People as they wash their car in skimpy bikinis, then find a parking ticket under the wiper blade of the windshield. Witness Madison Rayne and Tara give each other a sensual and somewhat uncomfortable massage before expressing their outrage at the rising prices of energy and oil. As an added bonus, the newly-acquired Mickie James will perform a striptease at a rally boycotting mediocre country music. TNA Mad Sexy: Volume 1 — rage has never been this sexy.
18) Please postpone my upcoming threesome with Ted DiBiase and Maryse. Your predictions were right. For the past few weeks, I was the one sending them romantic messages via piece of paper and Titantron screen. This might surprise you, but I never had simultaneous relations with a wealthy, second-generation wrestler and a French-Canadian woman before. I can only assume that simultaneous relations with a wealthy, French-Canadian wrestler and a second-generation woman does not compare. I have unchecked the box on my bucket list.
19) Please thank Cody Rhodes for his informative grooming tips. From this point forward, I have cut my average lap time in half. I do not know why his tips have turned me into a competitive swimmer. Regardless, he should be rest assured that my skin is as smooth and hairless as that of a super-hot baby.
20) Please tell my son that I want him back, but I still don't know how.

7 Port Build Spec
Posted 10 May 2018 - 11:59 AM
I'm about to start building my engine and am just wondering a few different things if anyone can help. My car will be for weekend blasts and the odd trackday, looking anything between 110-140bhp but power isn't my end goal.
I've got a Pierce 7 port head on twin Weber's, going on a 1330 bottom end. I think I'm going for the 276 cam but if anyone has any others that are better then please say. I'm just wondering what a decent max rpm would be for an engine like this and a set of pistons than will withstand it no bother.
Any other tips like what rockers and things or what compression ratio to run would be a great help.
Thanks in advance,
Posted 10 May 2018 - 12:25 PM
There are lots of options to look at, the main thing to remember is to put some time and money aside for a rolling road session at the end of the build. You need someone who has plenty of experience with twin webers and has a full range of chokes, jets and emulsion tubes otherwise you'll end up going back to them. One choice of cam could be this Calver one https://www.calverst...-super-sports/. You need to forget about BHP and look for maximum torque if you're going to mainly use it on the road. This cam gives as much as you're going to need and with the correct bottom end will rev quite happily to 7,500. If you haven't bought the pistons yet have a look at these, https://www.calverst...erior-quality/. Because of the material they're made from the bore can be machined to much closer tolerances. Personally I don't care for the Pierce head but if you've already bought it you have no options. With the Calver cam look to use either 1:4 rockers or 1:5. A compression ratio of 10:1 is more than sufficient.

Posted 10 May 2018 - 12:37 PM
Yeah Northern Power, already got a guy close to me who specialises in older engines for a rolling road so that won't be a problem. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them all and as for the pierce head, one came up for sale close to me and at a bargain price, I couldn't justify spending so much more on the sc one when I've got this so cheap.
Turbo Phil, yes it's new so it'll still have the 33.3 valve and 29.2 exhaust I think it is. Will this restrict potential by much?
Posted 10 May 2018 - 01:56 PM
Don't know by how much a 33mm will restrict it to, but in any head its the valve seat / pocket that is the limiting factor.
To get the figures you are after inlets of 35.5 / 36 will be enough and depending on cam/compression consider bigger exhausts too
The Peirce heads will take 36.5mm inlets and with the right build you will not be disappointed. You need to be on 40 Dcoe carbs.
You will not go far wrong with anything from KC.
Not sure a straight 276 will give you 110+ a scatter pattern VP3 cam will, even with only 5 ports...
Posted 10 May 2018 - 03:01 PM
If the head wasn't a lot of money and as you already own it I would consider getting prices for larger valves and having the ports re-worked. It will be a good investment.
Posted 10 May 2018 - 10:18 PM
RSA Mini that sounds good, I'll pm you now
Thanks again for the replies, all a great help!

May 25 – June 1, 2013
The team of Parsons students will travel with professors Jess Irish & Jane Pirone for a one-week collaborative design workshop to interrogate a hyper-local, multi-sensorial experience of Queer place/spaces in Paris from the perspective of the "outsider". This perspective will be leveraged through hands-on, psychogeographic explorations and field work into the representations of difference, identity and sexuality. Emphasis for these design probes will be on embodied experience and the cultural production of Queer artifacts and spaces, including the ideas of memory, mapping, & history, and speculative futures.

The first time I became aware of Yasmine's cat cartoons was when Kitty Nighmares showed up on BuzzFeed. I've never had this nightmare, yet I've thought about dying and my cats eating me because no one was giving them cat food. It isn't a nightmare actually because I'd gladly give my dead flesh to my kitties's survival. Yasmine has posted quite a few of her toons on Cat Versus Humans, and anyone who lives with cats will enjoy her quirky sense of humor.
|From Kitty Nightmares
Immediately after Yasmine posted her Cat Lady/Crazy Cat Lady Toon, it started to show up as a tagged photo on the walls of some of my former student's FaceBook pages. They not only tagged the Cat Lady and the Crazy Cat Lady, but each of the kitties was tagged.

Disable option to ban picks from your teammates
There's maybe one reason to allow players to ban picks from their teammates but it's not that significant and it gets outweighed by the reasons not to allow it. Reason to allow it: A last pick player may want to pick a op champion but there is a bigger chance for the enemy to pick it in that time so you ban the op champion so the enemy won't pick it. Reasons not to allow it: It's another way for trolls to sabotage games If someone bans someone else's champion even for the good reasons there is a high chance that the game will result in either a dodge or a troll because of the player who's champion got banned. Personally, I get mad when someone bans my champion but I don't troll, I just dodge the match. And I think this is what most people do. I'm speaking this from experience, there wasn't a single match where people were nice to each other when someone banned their champion. That's why I think this option should be disabled. Nothing positive happens when someone bans someone else's champion. Disabling this option will result in less dodged matches and less trolls and flame.

What is Job Shadowing?
Job shadowing is a short-term experience that can last an hour or a day that gives you an opportunity to learn more about careers or occupations that interest you. It also give you the opportunity to "pick the brain" of the individual you are shadowing to learn more about the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to work in the field.
Why Job Shadow?
Job shadowing helps many students discover a new field fit for them. Shadowing can also help students realize what they thought they wanted to do may not be the right fit, so they continue to explore professions. When classes feel rough, shadowing can reinvigorate you by helping you remember your passion. Also, don't forget, most competitive professional programs require job shadow hours.
How do I Shadow?
You have to pick a career you would consider then reach out to family, friends, Mizzou faculty/staff/alumni, and other professionals doing work of interest to you. Networking can be very helpful in your search! To learn more about how to arrange a shadow experience, check out this Job Shadow Graphic!
Shadow at MU Health Care!
MU Health Care offers a Job Shadow Program for individuals interested in learning about specific careers at MU Health Care facilities. This is a great experience for students exploring careers in healthcare. Professionals that can be shadowed include doctors, dietitians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacy techs, physician assistants, and more.
Shadow at Boone Hospital Center!
Boone Hospital Center here in Columbia offers a Job Shadow Program as well.

Body By Nikon – Blunders of an Aspiring Wildlife Photographer
Fourteen thousand dollars. That's the grand total of the camera equipment in my loft. I haven't thought about how I'll pay for it; I only know this—after photographing wildlife for most of my adult life, it was time to step up—to see what I might really do with the proper gear. I decided this, the way most reasonable and sane people do, while sitting at a cocktail lounge on a Princess Cruise ship drinking Alaskan ambers with one of the least risk-averse people I know: Alaskan writer and adventurer, Nick Jans. \ In our swivel chairs, nick rotated toward me, leaned in with his laptop, and flipped through his photos of polar bears in Kaktovik. Last fall, I took the same trip, but my images didn't look like his. You could see eye lashes on his bears. When I told him I shot with an Olympus MM-DE-M1, a mirrorless camera meant to lighten my travel load, he said, "C'mon. What professional photographers do you know who shoot with anything but Nikon or Canon?" It's a familiar elitist view in the shutterbug community, and one that resonated with me, despite my rationalizing and espousing of new technology and weight reduction. I gave Nick a weak reply. "I can carry my 300mm lens in my pocket. Can you do that?" Nick's face, straight out of a Jack London book with its arctic-sculpted jawbone and grizzled cheeks, all but mocked me. It seemed to say: Cowboy up, Cupcake. That's fine for semi-pro, but not serious enough for the big leagues. Not worthy of capturing a place like Alaska. For Alaska, you go big or go home.
He didn't need to say it. I already knew.
My images lacked the fine detail and depth of color our magazine and others demanded. They were soft and noisy and too small to run at 100 percent. When I returned from my cruise, I reviewed my whale, glacier, bald eagle and moose shots. A few keepers, but not many. I had determination, opportunity, and a pixel or two of talent—having worked as a photographer earlier in my career—but I'd been making excuses. Carrying subpar gear had allowed me to blame equipment for a bad shot, when perhaps I was the problem.
I spent hours researching cameras and lenses, comparing specs and trying to ignore the astronomic price tags. If I added up all the money I'd spent over the last two decades on less expensive cameras and lenses—only to end up selling them on Craigslist a year or two later—surely I could justify buying the top-of-the-line this time. To make myself commit, I booked a bear viewing trip to Hallo Bay in Katmai National Park. I set up a Photoshelter account and started creating an online portfolio of my work. I made a list of the items I'd need and purchased the following: Nikon D810, 200-400mm f/4 lens, 24-120mm f/4 lens, 2.0x teleconverter, professional tripod, pan/tilt head, polarizer, filter holder, graduated filters, three batteries, an extra tripod mounting plate, two 64GB compact flash and SD memory cards, USB card reader, pro-grip extra battery pack unit, rain jackets, and an industrial backpack to carry it all. Between the gear, trip deposits, flights, rental car and hotels, my Visa bill swelled to $18,000 dollars. I took my gear home, shoved down the creeping dread of buyer's remorse, and played with my camera. My flight to Hallo Bay would leave in three days.
I had shot with Nikon before, so I knew my way around the menus, but the D810 lacked a few things its predecessors had: failsafe modes of auto shooting and scenes (landscape, portrait, snow, beach, etc.). The message was clear: If you bought this thing, you should know how to use it.
The first few shots off my balcony were of trees and foothills. But when I went to review them, they didn't show up. I scanned the 500-page manual. User error was a common theme for me, so I chalked it up to that. Was the camera glitchy? Had I purchased a lemon?
As it turns out, it wouldn't really matter. An hour later, I attached the camera and the 24-120mm lens to the tripod plate. After a few shots of my desk and bookshelf, I wanted to use the big lens. I put my thumb on the tripod plate release and in a split second, watched the D810 and its lens fall to the hardwood floor with a sickening thud and a subsequent bounce.
Funny thing about expensive cameras; they aren't made to be used like basketballs. I twisted the zoom ring on the lens and felt it catch. With pressure, I could make it rotate, but it was definitely damaged. Maybe, just maybe, I could live with that. I didn't have time to send it back into Nikon for repairs. I handheld the camera and released the shutter in a rapid burst, relieved at the sound of it, firing off, still working. But when I reviewed the images, I found just this: a black square in the center of each photo—image after image. The mirror inside was either stuck or broken. I tried taking the lens on and off and shooting in different modes. The result: nothing but one after another soul-crushing black squares. I'd made a mistake, a huge one. Within the span of a few hours, I'd managed to exhaust my savings (financial and emotional), destroying the camera along with any delusions of becoming a serious photographer.
The next morning, I slumped off to the camera shop, where the employee replaced the camera and lens, citing manufacturer's defects, while I apologized for a few of my own. I had a second chance, even though I didn't deserve it—hadn't earned it. I would be more careful. I wouldn't blow it.
We land on the beach of Shelikof Strait on the tundra wheels of a Cessna Skywagon 207 that's a tad rusty on the inside, but manages to stay airborne while giving us nice views of Mt. Illiamna, Augustine, and Douglas en route from Homer. Hallo Bay bear camp consists of ten tents surrounded by brilliant fields of fireweed and encircled with electric fence webbing set into the ground with plastic stakes. Six Californians take our place on the departing Skywagon; they're leaving a day early because the forecast calls for fog and rain and they don't want to get weathered in. I don Xtratuf rubber boots and DEET bug spray and our guide, Lance, a retired Navy officer who survived deployment to the Middle East, follows the river bed and bear scat in search of coastal browns. "Not sure where the bears have been. They're late this year," Lance says. "I think they might be feeding on berries up higher, but they could be hanging out longer at Brooks Falls." We see berry- filled scat and fish carcasses, and finally bear prints. Lance knows whether the tracks are new or old, almost down to the minute. Hiking for the first hour down narrow trails and bushwacking, I get that same feeling I had in my loft: I'm in over my head. I carry half my body weight in gear and I'm already staggering beneath it. Despite working out (yes, I trained for this), my legs and shoulders buckle and shake. I think of Cheryl Strayed in the book Wild, carrying "Monster," her backpack on the Pacific Crest Trail.
We cross the river, and each time, I grasp Lance's arm for balance and try to stick to the high spots so my Xtratufs don't fill up with water and sweep me downstream, where I'm fairly certain my gear will finally pull me under and kill me. I also know that seeing a bear, and capturing a great photo of one, will be worth it. We end up back on the beach at the mouth of a river where we wait. I prefer this open view to the one through the brush, where we followed bear paths in and out of hidden pockets, with Lance telling us stories about bears leaping out from behind corners. He's armed, but only with a flare he can light to wave at an aggressive bear. "The hiss and spark are enough to scare one off," Lance tells me. I remind myself that I came into bear country of my own volition. Would I want an uninvited guest to show up at my house carrying a firearm? I think not. On a small, sandy rise strewn with driftwood, I snap photos of rock outcroppings, a seal, a distant boat, fog. I eat the lunch Lance provides: PB&J, apple, granola bar.
Drizzle falls and a haze wraps the shoulders of the mountains like a shawl. I scramble for the camera's rain jacket, a plastic covering that allows my hands to work the controls of the camera without getting the body or the lens wet. I put it on upside down, stretch it to make it work, and somehow manage to access the right buttons and see what I'm doing without tearing holes in it. I realize how awkward I look—struggling in the rain beneath a tangle of gear. I walk the beach with the camera and lens attached to the tripod and leaning against my armpit. I wear the backpack behind me with a fanny pack slung across my hip. I trip. I drop my lens cap and polarizer in the sand. I catch my hair in the tripod—not once, but numerous times. I knock off my baseball cap when I look through my viewfinder. But four hours later, when a mom and three cubs emerge from the bushes—and she sits in the grass to nurse them—I'm a gloriously happy mess.
Because it's raining, I can't take off the rain jackets to put on the extender. The 200- 400mm works great, but it won't get me as close as I'd like. Regardless, I fire off frames for an hour. I shoot as if these are the only bears I
will see—ever. We follow them as they meander around the beach. A break in the weather allows me to put on the teleconverter and extend my reach to 800mm. I squeeze the plastic coverings back over the gear, this time right side up, and congratulate myself for handling it properly. Condensation smears the plastic over the LCD display, so every image looks blurry in playback. After switching back and forth from manual to auto, I decide to trust the auto focus and speed of my gargantuan lens. I invested in it—in me too, shouldn't I have a little faith in both?
