I'll admit, I don't watch a ton of college ball and I form most of my predraft opinions based on watching youtube highlight reels.
BUT, based on what I've seen, Hopkins looks like an ideal guy for us. Seems like he has the combination of speed, hands and size that we need. Some of the things I look for in my youtubing are: shielding away defenders while making short catches in the middle of the field, catching the ball in stride on deep passes, adjusting to make difficult catches in the endzone, and determination to get yards after the catch. On those counts, Hopkins looks great.
This is good video to watch because you see the good and the bad. He does have some drops. But overall there's a lot to like.


text: It's annoyed my for a while that the package for the mpd program is called "musicpd". However, it's also been pointed out to me that "mpd" is a FreeBSD port for a multi-link ppp daemon program. Usually when I look for a program on pkgsrc I start with "ls pkgsrc/*/*prog*", and this could lead to people to believe that there's no package for mpd. It's not going to break my heart of the package name stays "musicpd", but it's just a nit that's annoyed me for a while now, so I may as well voice my nit and see what reaction it gets :-) Simon. -- Simon Burge <firstname.lastname@example.com> NetBSD Development, Support and Service: http://www.wasabisystems.com/

Have you ever been pulled over by a cop who acting like an @$$hole for what seemed like no reason? I have. But what about if I had been an officer myself? Would that have changed anything? Would he or she, at the very least, been a little warmer or respectful? Reddit asked these questions and some cops responded. Keep in mind that I'm sure the corrupt cops (of which we know there are many) were careful enough to not incriminate themselves online.
I had to arrest a cop from a neighboring jurisdiction and his wife for mutual domestic assault. They both had injuries and both accused the other of being the aggressor and I had no neutral witnesses so I took them both in. The officer had just gotten home from work and was still in uniform when I put him in the back of my car. Called his captain who responded out to my station. Ended up getting suspended.
The very first DUI arrest I ever made was a cop from a neighboring jurisdiction. Before I even got up to his door, he was already holding his badge out of the window and informing me that he was a cop. He was very obviously intoxicated; blew a .10 or .11 if I remember correctly. He messed up all of the field sobriety tasks and I arrested him. Through all of this, he continually told me that he was a cop and told me I "wasn't being cool." He resigned from his job.
Locked up a female officer for beating the crap out of her kid last year. Treated her like any other suspect, I had never met her before so I didn't really think about it. Little awkward having to follow Internal Affairs to her house to take her guns though. Also, arrested a corrections officer who was letting her boyfriend sell drugs out of her house where there were three children under five years old. Did not feel bad about that.
Once pulled over a sergeant from a neighboring jurisdiction for speeding. He had his badge out of the window before I even got up to his truck. I calmly explained because of his speed and it being near a residential area and a school he'd be getting a ticket. Came back with the ticket and told him I'd forgo the lecture but asked him to just watch his speed. I thought it went alright and never heard anything about it. Nine months later I had actually applied to the same sergeant's agency and was going through the background phase of the hiring process. That sergeant finds out I was a candidate and started bad mouthing me over there. Saying I was rude, unprofessional, and all sorts of stuff during the stop. Next thing I know his LT is coming by asking to watch the video of the stop, the officer doing my background is coming by to watch video of the stop. The chief of the department I worked for was pissed off he was acting like such a baby over a ticket and issued a directive saying if an off duty LEO identifies themselves as such in an attempt to get out of an infraction, the officer SHALL cite them and call the chief so he can contact their chief/sheriff. Was such a shit storm over a simple speeding ticket.
I was doing a ride along with my brother. He had been on patrol for about 4 years at this point. He pulled over the local sheriff for a DUI and arrested him. Not sure exactly what happened, but my brother left the department within 3 months.
I am an officer in the city close to my much smaller hometown. Kind of an upper-middle class little town that had a school officer. Anyways, we respond to a call around 10 pm for a domestic. It just so happens to be at the school officer's house where he drunkenly crashed his car while running from his golf club wielding wife. She was smashing his windows in after finding out about his mistress, who he has just battered about 20 minutes earlier. Both wife and him are arrested. He is a total dick the entire time he is in my squad asking if "I know who he is?" And telling me my career is f-cked. At the jail he won't respond to orders and eventually is charged with resisting on top of everything.
Nonetheless he ends up losing his cushy school job as soon as the news is out.
I have encountered one off duty officer who got into a wreck and was extremely intoxicated. He also had his duty weapon on him. I called in the traffic unit and a supervisor. He got charged with both.
My brother and his partner pulled over an aid to the mayor of Detroit. She went ballistic on them. A big scandal was uncovered and the mayor went to jail.
I stopped a car, gave the officer a ticket, sent him on his way. He wasn't happy, I didn't care. Same as every other traffic stop.

Describe the weather in Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
- print Print
- list Cite
Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, is the story of an airplane full of English schoolboys which is shot down during World War II. The boys survive, though none of the adults do, and the story begins the morning after the plane deposits the boys on a tropical island; like most tropical islands, the weather on this island is generally very good. In fact, we have no specific evidence that it ever even rained during the time the boys spent on the island.
We do know, however, that it is hot. The opening paragraph of the novel says the "jungle was a bath of heat." A short time later, Ralph takes his first real look across the shimmering water and sees the following scene:
Out there, perhaps a mile away, the white surf flinked [flashed and winked?]on a coral reef, and beyond that the open sea was dark blue. Within the irregular arc of coral the lagoon was still as a mountain lake--blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple. The beach between the palm terrace and the water was a thin stick, endless apparently, for to Ralph's left the perspectives of palm and beach and water drew to a point at infinity; and always, almost visible, was the heat.
Later we read that Ralph, in particular, is annoyed by the heat, salt, and sand which make his clothes scratchy and prompt him to tie his hair back.
In general, the island is beautiful and the weather is clear but hot.

TITLE: We Heard Singing
By Jody Day
We Heard Singing
My father is Chief Jailer at the prison in Philippi. I have been his apprentice for a year now. I will work as a guard for the rest of my life; it is expected of me. I love and respect my father but I wonder what he would say if he knew that until last night, I felt as lost and empty as these pitiful prisoners.
I have no problem with the fate of murderers and thieves, but some cases are hard to take. A young man was thrown into our jail who was slave to a master very well known in Philippi for his cruelty. He had been caught stealing food from his master's house. He explained that his wife was nursing a new baby and needed the extra food. The master beat him to a pulp. His face was pulverized, hardly recognizable. I'm afraid the beating left him blind and crippled. The young man begged for mercy and this seemed to anger the master even further. He took a dagger and sliced the slave's tongue in several places. The last thing the poor man heard in the sunlight were the cries of his wife as the master sold her away. I don't know what happened to the baby.
The slave seemed bent on doing himself in. His body crumpled into a shudder of pain and anguish, he crouched to the corner of his cell and beat his head against the stone wall over and over again.
We received two more prisoners that night. Paul and Silas were arrested. They had angered the merchants of Philippi. The magistrates ordered my father to guard them personally. After several hours I begged my father to sleep. He gladly accepted my offer to relieve him, but he insisted on staying near the prisoners. He had shackled them in stocks in the inner cell of the prison.
"How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the
shadow of your wings," they began to sing softly. They repeated that phrase over and over. Blood caked on their mouths, yet they were singing. The poor slave stopped whimpering and beating his head against the wall. Paul and Silas began singing another song about redemption, healing and forgiveness. The slave began shifting his mangled body away from the dark corner and into the light. He turned his damaged ears toward the singing. He was quiet and his breathing became steady. I thought the commotion was over for the night, but again I was wrong.
Suddenly an earthquake violently shook the prison. The shackles, chains and stocks fell away from every prisoner and every locked door flew open. My father awoke and was shocked at what he saw. How would we restrain them all? He drew his sword and moved to fall on it.
"Stop! Don't harm yourself, we are all here," Paul shouted. My father fell before Paul and Silas. "What must I do to be saved?" he cried.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." I knelt with my father and confessed faith in Jesus Christ. We took them both home, dressed their wounds and gave them something to eat. Our whole family believed and was baptized. Paul and Silas prepared to leave town but first stopped by the prison.
"We must leave now, my brother," Paul said to the slave. "Our friend Lydia has sent you some food and clothes and some bandages as well. The jailer here will dress your wounds."
The slave put his hand through the food opening on the cell door. He flailed and reached, trying to touch his new friends.
"Open the door, Cedus," my father said. I unlocked the cell door and pushed it open. The poor slave fell to the ground before me. Paul bent and lovingly grasped the arms of the slave and pulled him to his feet. Silas put his arm around the wretched one's shoulders. The filth and stench in the cell were overpowering, but Paul and Silas didn't seem to notice. They embraced him and kissed his head. They put their hands on his wounds and prayed for his healing. The slave cried and would not let them go. They began to sing again. They sang into his mangled ears until he was quiet. My father began to dress his wounds.
I am leaving with Paul and Silas today. My father has given his blessing. I don't know where this new life will take me, but I must follow after Christ. The emptiness is gone. The poor slave seems filled with hope as well. There is hope for both of us now. We heard singing.

Hi, I'm from Taiwan and currently on working holiday. I work full time. I'm easy going, tidy and organised person. We could team up to hang out at beaches or go hiking, searching good restaurants/cafes around the neighbourhood during weekends. (We could also go to nigh-club together lol) I'm still learning English, I'm interested in language learning and cultural sharing, so I would love to teach you Chinese if you are interested :) I enjoy exploring Sydney very much:) If we can team up to share a place, we can hang out a lot on weekends.
I'm a clean and idy person, who is laid back. I enjoy playing sport and staying active along with socialising with friends. I also respects other peoples privacy and space as well. I will be starting work at the local Airport and is looking for a quiet place to live.
Hi, I grew up in Tamworth more years ago than I care to remember! Since then I have taught secondary school both in Sydney and the UK. I'm a professional working in the Education and Training industry, my most recent post with the University of Sydney as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language. I'm currently applying for a training / Field Officer post based in Tamworth. I'm an easy going but considerate person, having travelled pretty extensively and worked with a broad range of different types of people. I enjoy the outdoors, good healthy food and exercise and good company but appreciate time to myself as well. I love ocean swimming (not so good in Tamworth!) and patrolling with the Manly Surf Lifesaving Club. I also hope there is some good theatre in Tamworth. It would be great to meet you! Sincerely Bill

I have this character flaw that sometimes can be a blessing. I am a perfectionist, at least in some areas of my life. In college, I had panic attacks frequently and wouldn't settle for anything less than an A. This characteristic turns from being useful to being a flaw when I simply don't do something because I can't do it perfectly.
Every year I want to have a picnic on or around June 21st to celebrate the longest days of the year. Every year we don't do it because in my mind, our picnic must be perfect. I need a beautiful tablecloth, my Longaberger picnic basket filled with cloth napkins, beautifully packaged gourmet food, real silverware, candles and perfectly dressed attendees. Sound ridiculous?
Sadly, this kind of perfectionism keeps me from doing so many things in my life. Some days I leave my house messy because I don't have three hours to make it perfect. I don't start a book if I know I won't finish it within a few days. I want to learn more about photography, but don't consider myself artistic enough to ever be a professional. I don't cook a meal because I know it won't be as good as the meals Jimmie makes. On and on it goes.
Last Thursday I came face to face with this character flaw. Ava was leaving the following morning for a 9-day trip with my mom. I told her we would go on a picnic that night so we could spend some quality time together. As usual, life happened and I didn't get to pack the perfect picnic basket. So, instead of postponing like I normally would have, we went to Marsh, picked up a bunch of random food, and headed to Forest Park with an old blanket, grocery sacks, and paper plates.
It was divine.
We had Pringles, stuffed peppers and garlic mushrooms from the Olive bar, summer sausage with cheese and crackers, baked potato salad from the deli, and iced tea and coconut water. Weird? Yes. But we ate to our heart's content.
Ava talked about what she was looking forward to most on her trip. She played at the playground while I read under the giant evergreen. In those moments, it didn't matter that I didn't have my beautiful tablecloth or gourmet food. All that mattered was that we were with our little girl.
As I snapped a few photos, I realized that I have learned something from my new camera. I used to think there were certain moments that were photo-worthy…. birthdays, special outings, holidays and momentous occasions. My camera has taught me that special moments take place in the mundane events of my everyday life. It didn't matter to me that the picnic wasn't something that wasn't magazine worthy. I wanted to capture it anyway. My standards of perfection too frequently limit me from embracing each and every moment as a gift from God. Instead of waiting for perfection, I instead want to find the beauty in my everyday life. I want to be quick to say, "YES!" when an opportunity comes my way, not worrying about living up to some unrealistic standard that no-one holds me to except for myself.
I will be quick to see the beauty when sitting under a tree, leaned against my husband, reading a book. I will relish in the joyous laughter of my daughter on the monkey bars. I will pause and notice the way the evening light streams through the trees. I will see God in it all and I will be thankful.
Do you struggle with the need to be perfect? Does it keep you from living your life to the fullest? What are some of the most mundane details of your life that you find inspiring or beautiful?

McLean Community Center Recognizes Longtime Volunteer Thamir Al'Hashimi
with 2016 Outstanding Volunteer Service Award
McLean, Va.—Thamir Al'Hashimi, a longtime community leader and volunteer, has been awarded the McLean Community Centers' (MCC) top honor for volunteers, the 2016 H. Gordon Randall Outstanding Volunteer Service Award.
The award was presented at the Center's annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on Saturday, March 18. The center, which is located at 1234 Ingleside Ave., is under renovation. Temporary administrative offices are located at 6631 Old Dominion Dr.
In presenting the award, MCC Executive Director George Sachs said, "For years, Mr. Al'Hashimi has demonstrated his commitment and compassion as an ambassador to the McLean community and the McLean Community Center through a variety of actions."
For more than 20 years, Al'Hashimi has been a faithful board member of the Friends of McLean Community Center, a nonprofit fundraising organization that supports the Center. Over the years, he has helped the Friends raise funds for several improvement projects, including mounting historical photos in some Center meeting rooms, commissioning a painting to honor Robert "Bob" Alden, for whom The Alden Theatre is named, and purchasing a free-standing registration kiosk for patrons. The recipient of the Friends of MCC's 2010 "Friend in Deed" award, he has also volunteered to work at many Center-sponsored special events—from manning the Friends booth at McLean Day to helping with crowd control at the Center's annual 4th of July Fireworks Celebration.
"I am a community service-oriented individual," said Al'Hashimi, who has been a member of the Rotary Club since 1978, both in McLean and in California, where he lived prior to moving here. He also serves on the board of the Evermay Community Association and is a member of the McLean Chamber of Commerce.

saat shri akkaal
i had another topic asking what sports and games are there in punjab in this topic i found online that there are tons games here are some to list just for fun an di hope maybe you guys will learn new games
This is game, basically for women. Two girls clasp their hands and move in circle. This was a game, which was played by two or four girls and multiple of two thereof.
Kikli kleer di,
Pag mere vir de,
Daupatta mere bhai da
Phitte mun jawai da
Gheeta Pathar
Some pebbles, stones or broken earthenware could be broken further into pieces and used for playing Gheeta Pather. This was a game, which did not involve running or jumping and was played sitting on the floor.
The girls would sing along with Khidu (Ball), in fact these rhymes and game is suitable for the children: This was for the first round, there was the second and third till the end was reached by counting ten and singing the tenth song.
Kokla Chhapaki
This game is popular even today amongst the children. Both boys and girls play it. Children sit in a circles and a child who has cloth in hand goes around the circle-singing: It is a kind of warning for the children sitting in a circle not to look back. The cloth is then dropped at the back of a child. If it is discovered before the child who had placed it there had completed the round, the child who discovered the cloth would run after him and try to touch him with it till he sits in the place vacated by the one who had discovered the cloth.
Chicho Chich Ganerian
This game is for both boys and girls. It is generally played by two teams and involves drawing as many vertical lines as possible.
Lukan Miti (Hide & Seek)
This was also played by both boys and girls and continues to this day. Two teams can also play this. One has to hide, the other has to seek but before doing it a call is given.
Guli Danda
This is basically a game for the boys and is the simplest version of modern cricket. It is played with a wooden stick and 'guli' (another small wooden piece pointed at both the ends.) Two teams divide themselves, one throws the guli and the other team uses the danda- (stick) to strike it. There are various other games that are played with Guli Danda
Kidi Kada or Stapoo
This is a game played both by the girls and boys. It is still common amongst some of the children. This game is played with in small boundary (court), drawn on the ground and a piece of stone.
Ghaggar Phissi
This is another game for the boys. One boy would bend and the other boys, may be one or two or three get on top of him, if he could bear the weight, he would win. In case he could not bear the weight and fell, he would lose.
This game is popular even today and is played now by both boys and girls. This was included in the Asian Games also and is popular all over south Asia. The game is played between two teams. A line is drawn between the two teams and each team would send a player across the line. If the player after crossing the line is able to touch a player of the opposite side and came back without being caught, the team doing so would win and a point was added to its score. This process by the player crossing the line has to be performed in a single breath. The team with higher score would be the winner

I'm a rookie building manager, so pretend like I'm in kindergarten.
The large input water supply pipe has damage in the insulation. Some of it was removed. Now we have a major condensation problem. And there is suspect mold. Air quality test said we have mold spores in the air.
Question 1: Is there a way to replace the damaged insullation while still cooling building. We have several computers which run 24/7. Engineer says insullation cannot be changed while water is dripping from pipe.
Question 2: There is suspect mold in the old insullation. Engineer says disturbing the mold will only make the problem worse. Says he can kill mold with 10% bleach solution but books say that it will not kill spores.
Need all the help I can get,

XS40 appliance ensures viability of XML data
A new company founded by a group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates aims to be among the first vendors to tackle Web services security.
DataPower Technology, launched in 1999 and based here, last week unveiled the XS40 XML Security Gateway, an XML-processing appliance that sits next to a network IP firewall, said Kieran Taylor, director of product management at DataPower.
The XS40 provides secure processing of XML data to ensure that SOAP messages sent through a company's firewall have the correct digital signatures, information and data formats for viable processing, he said.
The gateway, which uses DataPower's patent-pending XG3 technology for XML processing, provides automated functions for encryption, content-level filtering, data validation and field-level security of XML messages, he said.
Route 1, a joint venture between automotive giants Toyota, General Motors, Daimler-Chrysler and Ford Motor, is already using the XS40 to validate loans in a Web services-based solution that links car dealerships with financing companies that provide loans to customers. That means car buyers can shop their loan applications around to multiple financing companies, Taylor said. "Using the XS40 makes sure the loans from the dealerships are secure."
DataPower's approach to solving Web services security is unique in that it is hardware-based, said Winston Damarillo, CEO of Los Angeles-based systems integrator GlueCode. "There are [competing] software-based products, but the combination of performance and security that DataPower brings on a self-contained device is unique," he said.
The XS40, which costs $65,000 and is available now, is an attractive product for solution providers because it is easy to deploy and supports standards such as security assertion markup language (SAML), XML access control language (XACL) and Java API for XML processing (JAX-P), Damarillo said.
"Mainstream trading-partner enablement of Web services is driven by those standards," Damarillo said. "By packaging it in a drop-in solution, [DataPower] makes it easy for people to adopt [standards] and makes for a product that is channel-friendly."
DataPower is aggressively signing up partners to resell its products, which also include the XA35 XML Accelerator,its flagship product,and a software-based XML acceleration technology called DGXT.

While we're all waiting for Kate and Wills baby news, it seems another Royal couple could beat them to the pitter patter of tiny feet at the palace.
Rugby star Mike Tindall has revealed he and wife, eventing champion Zara Phillips, who is the Queen's granddaughter, will be starting a family sometime soon, but only when their sporting schedules allow it.
"Obviously we're going to have a family. But it's about timing. It's the Olympics this year, the Europeans next year, the World Championships the year after for her," Mike told the Mirror.
"I want to play for another two years, so it's just where we find the balance in that. I wouldn't say we'll wait, we'll try and find a window.
"There is definitely a family in the future but it's hard at the moment with work, as it is for a lot of people out there."
Mike also added the he and Zara love spending time with her brother Peter's daughters, Savannah and Isla. "We see Peter and Autumn's children Savannah and Isla all the time, they're great," gushed Mike.
"I think I'm good with them, we're both good with them. Savannah's a little girl now, she runs around and she's fully grown up."
Excellent news, Mike. Now, if you could just have a word with the Duke and Duchess...

Buyout time.
"Kiz, you think we can get enough Broncomaniacs together to buy out Josh McDaniels' contract so we can get ourselves a half-decent coach next season? I am willing to donate my Christmas money. By the way, do you have the phone numbers of Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden to pass along to franchise owner Pat Bowlen?"
Austin, Broomfield
Kiz: On it. But perhaps I should forward those phone numbers to Joe Ellis, the team's chief operating officer. If Bowlen becomes any more invisible during these times of crisis at Dove Valley, he's going to need the Queen of England to teach him a parade wave.
Mr. T not ready.
"I have a beef. McDaniels can't figure out Tim Tebow is a better fit for this Broncos offense without a running game. A playmaking, scrambling quarterback is the only answer for our inability to score. Why not use Tebow?"
Billy, Tebow Party voter
Kiz: At this point, the No. 1 reason for starting Tebow would be as a desperate ploy to move $375 club seats for home games in November. He's not ready to be an NFL quarterback. Benching Kyle Orton would ensure more losses for McDaniels and louder cries for the coach to be fired. Think about it: Why would McD do that?
Beverly Hillbillies, Part 2?
"With the Raiders getting close to greatness, Los Angeles radio shows are saying that, barring an NFL lockout, the Raiders could very well be in L.A. in 2011."
Sal, Arcadia, Calif.
Kiz: Only a Raiders fan would consider a 4-4 record as anything approaching greatness. Stay in Oakland. In La-La Land, the Raiders would be just another Grade B movie.
Lack of culture.
"It would really help the Colorado football program if we realize there's not a football culture at the school. A football culture starts at the top, with the school president and board of regents. It is extremely difficult to recruit top athletes if the school has one arm tied behind its back. At Oklahoma, there not only is a football culture, the sport is darn near a religion."
Tom, Golden
Kiz: As close to religion as CU football gets now are die-hard boosters praying the Buffs can find some way to beat (mighty?) Iowa State.
Let's go, NASA.
"The 1876 charter of the University of Colorado makes no reference to a football program, only providing a quality education. You advocate the demeaning of a CU degree by lowering the academic standards for the sole purpose to win football games. By the way, CU has more graduates who became astronauts than the rest of the Pac-12 Conference combined."
H.G., Denver
Kiz: In that original charter, did it make any mention of educating astronauts? All I'm trying to say is: In 1876, Coloradans hunted buffaloes for lunch. Things change.
Not just blowing smoke.
"My son and I talk about drugs in sports, including the steroid problem in baseball. I don't need you to start discussing San Francisco pitcher Tim Lincecum's supposed habits when we know you are just trying to be cute. Kids are gravitating to Lincecum as a hero of the national pastime, and then we see writers like you put together these words: 'The only drug Lincecum might have a hankering for is marijuana.' Bottom line is, this pitching ace has done a lot for the game, and you want to belittle him."
Jason, Montreal
Kiz: Don't tell the kids, but Lincecum was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor marijuana possession 12 months before he won the World Series. Belittle him? As that great American philosopher Jeff Spicoli so aptly put it in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High": "All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I'm fine."
Time for steak in the other "Big D"
And today's parting shot is an invitation to a big steak dinner in Big D.
"Hey Kiz-la-Dude, I have always been amused at the columns you write after (or during) a night of drinking. But your story from the World Series concerning the depressed state of sports in Dallas regarding the Rangers and Cowboys seemed different. It was almost as if you were . . . sober. Next time you are in town, dinner is on me. But you will have to pay for your own drinks, because my Amex card could not cover your tab."

Almost £3.5 million Scottish Government compensation has now been paid to farmers hit by losses caused by this year's severe weather.
Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead has confirmed that a total of 540 Weather Aid payments, worth more than £2.7 million, have now been processed.
More than 4,000 farmers have already received help from the Scottish Government's £750,000 Fallen Stock Fund.
It comes as official figures show this year's wintry conditions led to a fall in livestock numbers across Scotland, with the number of calves and lambs particularly badly affected.
Commenting on the June 2013 Agricultural Census, Mr Lochhead said: "These latest statistics confirm what we already know - that this year's extreme weather has taken its toll on Scottish farmers.
"That is why the Scottish Government is providing £6.5 million compensation through our Weather Aid scheme and Fallen Stock Fund which, unlike in England and Wales, is extra funding in addition to Single Farm Payments.
"I am pleased that thousands of farmers have now benefited from this additional Scottish Government support.
"About 300 Weather Aid claims are still outstanding and my officials are actively working with these farmers to verify their applications so that payments comply with EU state aid rules. This is very complex, which is why some claims are taking longer to process, but all payments will be completed as soon as possible.
"Although the extreme weather was undoubtedly a massive factor in the drop in sheep and cattle numbers this year, there is evidence of a longer-term decline. This highlights the scale of the challenge facing Scotland's red meat industry - particularly for Scotch Beef which has relatively high production costs.
"The Scottish Government is already taking action to support the beef sector, for example through the current Scottish Beef Scheme and looking at how best to provide support for beef production in the new CAP.
"However, there is a limit to what the Scottish Government alone can achieve. If the challenges facing the sector are to be addressed, then the industry must work collectively with retailers to incentivise increased production, for example through supermarkets stocking more Scottish red meat and paying a fair price to farmers. The whole supply chain should benefit from the fact that Scotch beef has never been in such demand at home and abroad."
The June 2013 Agricultural Census also shows the area of rented agricultural land in Scotland has fallen by a fifth in a decade while the number of agricultural holdings with non-croft tenancies has decreased by 370 in the past year alone. Mr Lochhead added: "Less than a quarter of Scotland's agricultural land is now rented, while the number of agricultural tenancies has fallen by about 10 per cent in just five years. This continuing decline demonstrates the importance of the forthcoming review of Agricultural Holdings legislation that I will lead.
"Many tenant farmers have made the case that current tenure arrangements stifle on-farm investment. Given the current land reform debate in rural Scotland we need to consider what is in the best interest of rural communities and the role individual land ownership plays in this. Landlords' views must also be heard.
"It is also important that we give all tenant farmers and stakeholders the opportunity to enter into full and frank dialogue about absolute right to buy."

- Good dental habits should begin before the first tooth appears. After feedings, gently brush baby's gums with a soft-bristle, baby toothbrush using water or wipe them with a clean washcloth.
- Don't forget to schedule your baby's well-child visits. At these visits your child's doctor will check baby's mouth. If your baby is at high risk for tooth decay, your child's doctor will recommend that your baby see a dentist.
- For more tips, click here.
Ages 2 years - Teens
- Brush your child's teeth or encourage your child to brush his or her teeth at least twice a day— after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks.
- Brush for at least 2 or 3 minutes each time.
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and replace it every three months.
- Learn how to floss your teeth. Flossing gets rid of food that hides where your toothbrush can't reach.
- Visit the dentist twice a year.
- Snack healthy. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink water instead of soda.

Two things:
1)I know that pricing is not something ussually accepted on this site. However, I do wonder how one is supposed to know if he is getting a fair price on a boiler? I am looking at a new Weil-Mclain Ultra 155 or 230, and I am wondering when my guy gets me a price how i am supposed to know if it's good. I don't want to get a ton of bids, but want to know if it's a good price.
2)Does anyone here know if these Weil-Mclain boilers are qualified for the tax credit for 2006. I am in the tax buisiness, and know that Code Sec. 25C talks about a provision for "Residential energy property which includes qualified electric heat pumps, and qualified natural gas, propane, or oil furnace hot water boilers" the credit is 100% of the cost of your qualified equipment put into service after January 1, 2006 and before January 1, 2008 upto $500 max.
Thanks for any help on this.

by Ronnie Nathanielsz
American trainer Richard "Rick" Staheli who handled Manny Pacquiao's preparation when he won his first world title – the WBC flyweight championship scoring a stunning 8th round knockout of Thai hero Chatchai Sasakul in December 1998, says PABA light flyweight champion Randy Petalcorin could be a world champion at minimumweight.
Staheli made the prediction after Petalcorin sparred seven rounds with Rey Las Pinas and Eduardo Baluarte at the Prime Time Gym in Angeles City as he entered the final stages of training for his title defense against Thai challenger Samartlek Chaiyonggym at the Mandaluyong Gymnasium on April 21.
The fight card which will include a Philippine title fight will be telecast on a slightly delayed basis by AKTV IBC 13 on its newly launched "Pinoy Knockout" boxing series.
Staheli told us after an impressive workout by the southpaw Petalcorin who fights as a junior flyweight, "is actually a mini flyweight and he can make a 105 pounds. I would rather see him fight for a world title at 105 pounds because that's where he can be and he's a big puncher at that weight."
Asked about his hopes for Petalcorin, Staheli said "I tell you I think he's got the ability to become a world champion. Right now he's ranked No. 8 by the WBA and if he defends his title successfully his manager Peter Maniatis ( the well-known promoter and TV KO Boxing show host in Australia) said he might move up to No. 4 or 5. He's right there. He has only had 17 fights. Give him three or four more fights, let him defend his title a few times and he'll be knocking at the No.1 spot very soon and then he'll be a mandatory for somebody."
The trainer said Petalcurin has a record of 16 wins, 1 loss and 13 knockouts and "the guy can hit."
Staheli said Petalcorin has been training for a couple of months now although we had a bit of a medical problem (which were dental problems) but he'll be ready next week and I expect big things from him."
Noting that he sparred against much bigger opponents, Staheli said "that's going to help him. I don't think the Thai is going to be a big hitter but its hard to get sparring partners for him because he is only a 105 pounder, so everybody is going to be bigger than Randy. But he makes up for it with his speed and he's got real nice combinations. He hits pretty good for a 105-108 pounder."
He said Petalcuoin's Thai opponent "is a step up and if you look at Randy's record he hasn't fought a lot of real good guys but Samartlek was an Olympian, he's certainly a step up and we want to look at different guys after that to give him bigger and better tasks."
Staheli said he hasn't "been around Petalcorin to see any big test where the mental angle comes in. He seems like when you push him in training some days when we do 25 rounds, ten rounds on the punch-mitts on a non sparring day, he's really working hard and is not discouraged. He knows he's got some goals and he wants to obtain those goals. I think he's got the mental edge."
Petalcorin won the PABA Interim title when he dropped Michael Rodriguez in round 7 en route to winning by an 8th round disqualification on August 6, 2011. He also won the vacant WBC Asia Boxing Council Continental title with a 1st round knockout of Yodchingchai Sithkonnapha on June 11, 2011. He also scored a ten round unanimous decision over Arnel Tadena on September 24, 2011 and in his last fight scored a 2nd round knockout of Jherad Tuyor on October 23, 2011.
The 27 year old Samartlek who has a record of 8-3 with 3 knockouts is coming off an eighth round unanimous decision over tough Indonesian Sammy Hagler. Samartlek's biggest win was a unanimous decision over former IBF minimum weight champion Muhammad Rachman (62-9-5, 31 KO's) on January 24, 2011.
Samartlek also battled hard-hitting world title contender Denver Cuello but was stopped in the 9th round in a WBC International minimum weight title fight on March 26, 2011

'The American Taliban' again asks for mercy

Lawyers for John Walker Lindh, the Marin County native who became known as "The American Taliban" when he was seized with Afghan soldiers after a prison uprising in November 2001, asked President Bush on Wednesday to commute or reduce Lindh's 20-year sentence.
Attorney James Brosnahan, who had twice before requested that Bush commute the sentence, joined Lindh's parents at a San Francisco news conference where he cited a 9-month sentence a U.S. military tribunal handed down Friday to Australian David Hicks, a confessed al Qaeda trainee convicted of supporting terrorism by readying to fight Americans in Afghanistan in 2001.

Lindh, a 26-year-old convert to Islam, has 13 years left on a sentence he received in July 2002, when he pleaded guilty in a federal court in Alexandria, Va., to aiding and carrying weapons for the Taliban in a deal with prosecutors, who dropped terror charges.
"It's quite a difference," his mother, Marilyn Walker, said Wednesday of the sentences in the two cases. Reading a prepared statement, she said, "John did not go to Afghanistan to fight against America. He never fought against America. John has spoken out strongly against terrorism in any form."
A White House spokesman referred calls Wednesday to the U.S. Justice Department, which in a written statement said only that a previous request to commute Lindh's sentence "remains pending." Brosnahan said he had not received a response to the two previous requests.
"If Mr. Lindh wishes to provide additional facts and information," the Justice Department statement said, "we are happy to take these facts under consideration."
Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, a U.S. Department of Defense spokesman, said the prosecutions of Lindh and Hicks, 31, were "truly apples and oranges," with the government viewing Lindh's case as more serious.
One factor in Hicks' sentencing, Gordon said, was that he was detained for more than five years at the prison at Guantanamo Bay before he got his day in court.
"Hicks was never implicated in anyone's death," Gordon said, referring to the slaying of CIA agent Johnny "Mike" Spann in an uprising at a prison where Taliban fighters were being held. Spann was killed not long after he questioned Lindh there.
The reference to Spann angered Brosnahan, who noted that a judge accepted his client's plea only after prosecutors said they had no evidence implicating Lindh in Spann's death.
Lindh went to Yemen at age 18 to study his religion and ended up a Taliban foot soldier and a self-described holy warrior, although he said he never fired a weapon in combat and never intended to fight against Americans. His attorneys depicted him as a naïve young man who got in over his head.
Like Hicks, Lindh agreed in his plea deal not to pursue claims that he was mistreated while in U.S. custody. Brosnahan said Lindh was stripped for interrogation, while a bullet fired during the prison riot was left inside his leg for 15 days.
In petitioning the president, Brosnahan, a former federal prosecutor, pointed to a "climate change" since the months after al Qaeda's attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, in which Americans are less fearful and "in a better mood to get justice."
The attorney also said Lindh had a "genuine religious experience (before his arrest) that I think the president can understand."
Brosnahan declined to provide a copy of his new petition for legal reasons; under Lindh's plea deal, he is barred from speaking about his case to anyone other than his lawyers and family.
Lindh is now at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colo., where he was transferred in December from a prison in Victorville (San Bernardino County). His parents said they have not seen him since his move but will be allowed to visit him in the future.

I just installed this today, so I can't speak for longevity. However, it was fairly easy to install, just pay attention to the instructions where it calls for a 11/16 pilot hole, it should be 11/64. Otherwise, straight forward and relatively quick. Took me about an hour on an 11 ft ceiling. One issue is getting the brake to release when bringing my kayak down is having to hold one line and let the other down slightly and so on until it's about 3 ft down, then it comes down just fine. Also recommend using a strap or bungee cord to hold the hooks together as one of mine almost slipped off the end when I had it slightly off level. Seems to be very sturdy though and would buy another one for my other toys that I need to hoist up for storage.

It was a meeting of two worlds Wednesday morning on the set of Good Morning America. Some of the former cast of Full House showed up, and so did Rihanna. The stars were there for completely different reasons, but they had some fun with one another while they were there.
Rihanna was appearing on the show to promote the launch of her new project, MAC Viva Glam, and the Full House guys were on the show for all different reasons, but mainly to talk about their new Dannon Oikos commercial that will be played during the Super Bowl. The guys talked about their lives post-Full House, and said they've remained friends through the years, but don't always talk about yogurt when they get together.
GMA took a photo of John Stamos, Bob Saget and Dave Coulier, and Rihanna interrupted with a couple of amazing photobombs behind the '90s stars.
Leave it to @rihanna to pull off the ever complicated DOUBLE BUNNY EARS! #RihannaOnGMA pic.twitter.com/vqkWj8ZcES— Good Morning America (@GMA) January 29, 2014
And no selfie session would be complete without a duckface...we thank you, @rihanna. #GMAFullHouse #RihannaOnGMA pic.twitter.com/0nRa3m95ew— Good Morning America (@GMA) January 29, 2014
Stamos responded with his own photo with Rihanna. He seemed excited to get a much more serious photo with the singer, and posted his own photo to Instagram with the caption, "Finally met my childhood crush- @rihanna - wait, strike that reverse it. #hot"
The guys of Full House are seeing a lot of one another these days. Nearly two decades after it went off the air, Stamos, Coulier and Saget teamed up for a special commercial for Sunday's Super Bowl. Coulier and Saget joined Stamos, who is the spokesperson for Dannon Greek Yogurt.
It is just one of the many anticipated commercials coming up for Super Bowl Sunday.
You can see Stamos next in his new film My Man is a Loser. Bob Saget's last season the narrator on How I Met Your Mother is coming to an end, and his comedy album That's What I'm Talking About was just nominated for a Grammy.

3-D printing opens access to soil science equipment
While the reality of printing any object on demand may lie in the future, the technology necessary to do it is readily available. Soil scientists are already taking advantage of 3-D printing's possibilities to overcome equipment constraints.
In a recent paper published online in the
They found that the technology, also called 'rapid manufacturing' or 'stereolithography,' has major benefits over traditional manufacturing methods, and they were able to successfully produce intricate pieces. Also, the ability to easily share the designs used by 3-D printers could allow for better replication of experiments and collaboration among soil scientists.
First developed in the 1980s, the process of 3-D printing begins with a computer-generated model [often a Computer Aided Design (CAD) image] that is 'sliced' by a program to create very thin layers of the object.
The printer then uses an extruder that lays down a material – frequently a thermal plastic – layer by layer, as defined by the computer program, to create the full 3-D object. This method is currently being used to build a variety of items, such as mobile phones, jewellery, and artificial limbs.
Baveye's team used the technology to create parts of a permeameter, a device used to measure the hydraulic conductivity of soils. Traditionally, this type of equipment is made using lathes and drills.
However, those techniques are painstaking and time-consuming. Also, traditional methods cannot create intricate designs or incorporate certain features such as non-concentric structures. Moreover, once a product is made, researchers are resistant to making changes even if the piece would work better if modified.
Baveye and his colleagues found that by using a 3-D printer to create their design of the permeameter parts, they were able to avoid several of these problems of traditional equipment manufacturing.
Many designs that used to be impossible to make, such as intricate conduits, can now be easily worked into the 3-D printing models.
'Should anyone want permeameter columns with a narrower or larger diameter, designs can be scaled up or down in seconds, and a new piece can be printed without extra human labor,' says Baveye.
By avoiding the painstaking and backbreaking work of traditional methods, 3-D printing has inadvertently levelled the playing field. While in the past few students and researchers were willing to use the drills and lathes, many more now look forward to the opportunity to create and print CAD drawings.
This technology has opened doors to aspiring soil scientists that may have otherwise passed on the opportunity to create designs and equipment for their research.
An additional benefit of using 3-D printing, and one that Baveye believes could greatly impact soil science, is the ease with which designs can be shared among researchers.
'CAD files can be easily sent by email to colleagues anywhere in the world,' explains Baveye. 'That means experiments can be replicated easily, even if they involve complicated pieces of equipment.'
'We expect that the evolution of 3-D printing will follow that of laser printers,' says Baveye. 'As the price of 3-D printers continues to fall, we expect that they are going to be more and more widely used in soil science laboratories and in many other disciplines.'

An Inver Grove Heights man tied to a Mexican drug ring in a July bust pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree drug possession.
Mike Sanchez, 27, was sentenced in Dakota County District Court to 8 years and 2 months in prison. An additional charge of first-degree drug sales was dismissed.
Agents from the Dakota County Drug Task Force seized nearly 6 pounds of cocaine, 3 pounds of methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana and $23,000 in cash from his Atlas Avenue home July 23, hours after a state trooper found another 2 pounds of cocaine in his car during a traffic stop.
All told, the street value of the drugs was about $150,000.
The cocaine seizure was one of the largest in county history, and more than three times the amount seized in all of 2012, said County Attorney James Backstrom.
Josue Ivan Ledezma-Lopez, 23, was also arrested in Sanchez's home. Prosecutors say he had $1,000 in cash on him. His case is still pending, and he remains jailed with bail set at $500,000.
Sgt. Dan Bianconi of the Drug Task Force said the drugs are believed to come from the same Mexican distribution ring involved in the case of Albert Morris Johnson, a Burnsville barber shop owner charged in federal court with having 12 pounds of meth in his home. That seizure, made in May, was also a county record.

City Council members are contemplating whether they want to raise the city's water and wastewater rates to pay for restorations. Some of the pipes and pumps are more than 30 years old.
PALM COAST -- The city of Palm Coast bought its own utility service a decade ago for $83 million.
For some residents it seems like a bad investment. The city is on the brink of raising its monthly water rates.
Palm Coast's utility system was considered by city officials to be one of the best maintained in Florida. The city manager crowed about it again last week, saying during a public meeting it remains one of the best.
City Council members are contemplating whether they want to raise the city's water and wastewater rates to pay for restorations. Some of the pipes and pumps are more than 30 years old.
Moving forward with restoration of the system, the mayor said, will prevent disaster down the road.
"What we have to be careful of at this point is that we don't jeopardize our standing by not doing the (restoration) ... and not maintaining the system and not taking into account growth," said Mayor Jon Netts.
About 40 residents attended a public meeting Tuesday night at the Community Center. Based on comments during the meeting, a majority of the attendees ranged from skeptical to vehemently opposed to any rate increases.
One of those skeptics, Charlene Carbino, complained her water bill already is more than $80 per month. Monthly costs are exorbitant for a community consisting largely of residents on fixed incomes, she told council members.
"Asking seniors to pay for all these increases is ridiculous," Carbino said.
Another resident walked to the microphone and told the council he pays more for water per month than electricity. He also told council members when he tells his relatives in the Northeast what he pays for water services, they sarcastically ask whether he drinks, bathes and washes using bottled water.
One former salon owner said her business was billed less per month for water in St. Augustine compared to what she and her husband pay for their home in Palm Coast. She said they only wash two loads of laundry per week.
Robert Ori, president of Public Resources Management Group out of Maitland, presented his company's rate study, which breaks down the utility rate increases and where the money would be spent.
The five-year capital improvement plan includes $45.6 million for wastewater system improvements and $28 million for water system improvements.
For 99 percent of residents, the average combined rate for water and wastewater services would be $59.40 a month once the plan is approved, according to the rate study. That is up from the current monthly rate average of $54.64.
"Water is everything," said Ori, who emphasized the importance of staying proactive with water supply and infrastructure. "You can't live without it."
Netts agreed and said if structural improvements are not made and population growth is not taken into account, demand will exceed capacity and the costs will then become astronomical.
"You'd better build it before you need it or else you're going to have a shutdown in service," Netts said.
Ori said major cities and counties across the country, including Miami-Dade, are looking at expenses in the billions because of their failure to act early enough.
His and the City Council's suggestion that Palm Coast is right by making residents pay more for their water services elicited strong comments from resident Dennis McDonald.
"All of this is for one reason. You're providing services for future developers by bilking us, the (taxpayers)," McDonald said.
"Raise this and we will pack your bags by using the referendum process," he warned council members.
The council is scheduled to vote on the rate increases Feb. 19.
The council also decided to move along with another infrastructure project.
During its first public meeting of the day, which was in the morning, council members voted unanimously to approve a $1.3 million contract with local contractor S.E. Cline Construction. The company will build a three-system water control structure in an area south of State Road 100, a short distance west of Interstate 95.
The three structures will act as a dam to regulate the water flow along the channels that run east and west near Ulysses Trial.
City Manager Jim Landon said the dam system will help protect the interstate and prevent downstream water levels from overflowing.
Construction will begin Feb. 1 and it is expected to take about six months.

Roulette System: Confession of the Roulette Dealer on Dealers Signature
Roulette System: Confession of the Roulette Dealer on Dealer's signature
This article is going to show you how you can use the dealer's signature to beat roulette.
Not many people know this, but it's absolutely critical.
"I don't believe it! Impossible."
Those are some comments I hear when I tell people that dealers can and do make a difference to the outcome of a spin. "BS! It's random!"
I disagree. Ever since my book "101 roulette winning tips" was recently published, this single topic has attracted more interest than any other. Before I started playing Roulette seriously around twelve years ago, I would have agreed.
The wheel spins one way, the ball the other. The slightest variation in speed or place of release of the ball can send the next spin to a very different part of the wheel. But I am beyond being convinced now - I know that many dealers, though by no means all, can influence the outcome.
Some experienced dealers can influence the outcome by predicting the landing at neigbouring bet from the previous bet.
Even the best-intentioned dealers can get it wrong. Equally, they may be fearful of reprimand from the Pit Boss or higher if they go too far to help you.
So what are we talking about? Strictly, a neighbour bet is backing five numbers next to each other on the wheel e.g.: 15, 34, 22, 5 and 17. In the UK where call bets are common, the dealer places such bets on the racetrack. This is an oval shaped ring marked on the green baize. For example, a bet might be called as "22 and the neighbours by five." This would mean that the player wanted five pounds on each of these five numbers. In Las Vegas, the Mirage has a racetrack now on it's 25 dollar minimum table. This table has the single zero and if zero strikes, outside bets lose only half. This is a great deal and mirrors casinos in the UK and much of Europe.
Even if there is no racetrack, you can place the five chips yourself on the layout, backing them with any sum subject to the table minimum. This is an ideal bet if the dealer is into a trance and is spinning into these numbers as a signature spin. It is an excellent bet if the dealer is trying to help you by going for a repeat. The winning bet if 22 hits with one dollar on each of the five numbers is: Stake x 35 minus 4 losing chips = +31.
Even the worst spinner in the world spins repeats as a random event anyway, so after 22 has hit once as a winner, you should always add to your stake for the next spin. If the dealer is friendly and appears keen to help and / or to receive your tips, make clear you hope for a repeater (ain't nothin' sweeter!). Personally, I would then place something on the two numbers either side as well
I used the word strictly earlier to define the bet as being on five numbers. A dealer who did well for me and who received generous tips along the way told me he wanted a landing-strip of seven or eight numbers. Some dealers call it their signature. Anyway, I took his advice, covering seven adjacent numbers and until the Pit Boss had him taken off after I started staking twenty-five dollars on each of the numbers (having increased from only 2 dollars), this genius touched down as precisely as a jet on autopilot.
In France, where the dealers are greedy for tips, the older heads are amazingly accurate, spinning slowly to boost their modest salaries. In the better casinos in united states, I have found that even though tipping is banned and so the loyalty of the dealer cannot be bought, many of the older / more experienced dealers do spin neighbours. In some cases, this is down to a signature spin but some take a pride in accuracy to relieve the boredom of spinning for hours each day.
I spoke to a sharp guy of about thirty-five who told me he loved predicting where the next spin would land. He was unable to deliver a neighbour bet by intent. His signature spin was about 25% too long so that the ball landed predictably but not close to the previous number. That is equally useful - and indeed is better because to Inspectors and Pit Bosses, it is less obvious from the number boards that the dealer is spinning into a signature than if the last six numbers have been 34, 17, 22, 22, 5 and 34.
One reason why most players do not believe the concept of neighbour or signature betting is ignorance! Their idea of five close numbers is 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. These are scattered round the wheel and are not neighbours at all. To read a number board and interpret what is happening is essential. It means knowing where the numbers are on the wheel. From this you can spot the repeats and near repeats - but gradually you will pick out the more obscure footprints where the ball will land in a different but predictable part of the wheel each time.
Las Vegas is full of talented dealers who can help. There is more to this than random selection of the first table and dealer you see.
Do not forget this.
