You see, I don't find that funny, b/c she's not really ugly. Maybe she's not your cup o' tea, but she certainly isn't busted beyond belief. Now if that picture was with Celine Dion, that would be funny.

Both of these guys are pretty normal dudes more than capable of attracing women who weigh less then they do. Girls like that only give the time of day to a couple specific types of guy, so your statement is nominally true, but not in a way that favors the girl.

Weak. Stupid.
Can we get this photo uploaded to www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com ?
She's a very pretty girl. Also, detracts nothing from the sport. What's the point of punking her?
Now if they'd gotten that photo next to Dana White.........Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.
-excerpt of the poem called "Desiderata," by Max Ehrman, 1927.

Species of Mucor, botrytis, and other fungi, may also be met with.
The botrytis infestans, "attacks the leaves and stems of potatoes."
Snowdrops are sometimes attacked with a kind of mildew known scientifically as botrytis galanthina.
They were covered with mould, consisting chiefly of a species of Mucor, and one also of botrytis or Botryosporium.
The final or culminating cause of the disease known as the "potato-rot" is botrytis (peronospora) infestans.
These conidioid forms were at first described as a separate species under the name of botrytis Jonesii.

Dr. Bob Previews IDAHO (+3) Vs. SAN DIEGO STATESeptember 19, 2009
San Diego St. (-3.0) 28 IDAHO 24
Idaho looks like an improved team this season, as quarterback Nathan Enderle has looked good (61% completions and 8.5 yards per attempt) after two horrible seasons at the helm.
While Idaho's offense looks improved, their defense is still a huge question mark and is likely to be exploited in this game by San Diego State's Ryan Lindley. Lindley had a pretty good freshman season before getting injured and he's averaged 7.0 yards per pass play in two games this season, one against a very good UCLA defense and one against a very bad Southern Utah defense. Overall, Lindley rates above average after compensating for his opposition and he should feast on an Idaho secondary that has surrendered 8.1 yards per pass play to New Mexico State and Washington, who are about average as a group throwing the ball.
The Aztecs look to have an underrated defense under former New Mexico coach Rocky Long, who always fielded good defenses with sub-par talent with the Lobos.
My ratings favor San Diego State by 7 1/2 points, so I'll lean with the Aztecs here even though they apply to a negative 54-113-5 ATS situation.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer. After months...years?....of really no news of Gosselin drama it seems to have picked up again. Jon is in a panic and the hysteria is amped at BL's again. To be honest with you, I haven't really paid much attention to what has been going on at the swamp that is Becky's. Poor Becks she has been reduced to writing recaps of old shows.
It seems Jon has had another epiphany and is going to go for another round of custody. Every now and then Jon remembers he has kids and feels compelled to do the concerned dad thing again. I'm sure it came to him while sunning on the beach on a recent Mexico vacation. Its the same ole same ole. The kids do not want to be with Kate and he has no money to fight it, he whines to the go to tabs to sell his story. Current girlfriend is on board and starts a go fund me.
I don't know about you all but this sounds all so familiar. Poor hapless Jon surfaces every now and then creates a scene and cries poor. This latest cry of no money is despite his claims of working two jobs, not paying child support and living in his girlfriends house.
Just like BL's recapping old shows Jon is crying poor. It is deja vu all over again.

Best post-lockout Ranger: Round 2, Artem Anisimov (4) vs. Anton Stralman (5)August 17, 2013, by
As the offseason wears on, us and Matt Josephs of Blue Line Station (Twitter: 11Matt_Josephs8) will be running a tournament for the Best Ranger since the 2005 lockout. The second round started yesterday with #1 Henrik Lundqvist beating #9 Martin Rucinsky. Today, the second round continues with #4 Artem Anisimov (who beat #13 Erik Christensen) taking on #5 Anton Stralman (who beat #12 Aaron Voros).
Artem Anisimov (acquired – 2006 draft, 2nd round)
Anisimov had an interesting stint in New York. After coming over to the US and skating with the Wolfpack for two seasons, registering 81 points in his second season, Anisimov made the team outright in 2009. For his three years on Broadway, Anisimov missed just three games, all in 2011-2012. In those 243 games, Anisimov put together an offensive line of 46-62-108 while bouncing between the top-six and fourth line and barely seeing powerplay time. In fact, Anisimov put together the fourth-best even strength P/60 (1.72) in his final year with the Rangers, and never dropped below 1.69. Despite impressive P/60 numbers, Anisimov never really solidified himself in the John Tortorella roster.
Anisimov's time on Broadway came to a close when he was shipped to Columbus in a package for Rick Nash.
Anton Stralman (acquired – unrestricted free agent, 2011)
Stalman has been a pretty solid signing since the Devils cut him out of training camp in 2011. Scoring doesn't tell the whole story for the 26-year-old defenseman, but he does have a line of 6-19-25 in 101 games (all 48 this year) with the Rangers. Stralman didn't even become a mainstay in the lineup until December of 2011, when injuries to Marc Staal, Mike Sauer, Jeff Woywitka, and Steve Eminger forced Stralman into the lineup. He answered by playing 17 minutes a game and being a solid and reliable defenseman. He's not flashy, but he gets the job done.
So who do you think is the better Ranger, Anisimov or Stralman? Vote thumbs up for the higher seed (Anisimov), or thumbs down for the lower seed (Stralman). Voting ends at midnight tonight.
6 comments
Anisimov gave us all he had and was a very good Ranger as his P/60 proves. That being said, the team last year without Stralman willing and able to step up would have suffered more than the team without Anisimov during his tenure with us. All things being equal, I would love to have Artem on our 4th line this year with an option to move up to our 2 line when needed. Hard choice, but the importance of steady D, even without bells and whistles, guided my choice.
(With my limited hockey sense, I usually just follow this excellent blog without comment. Can't wait for the season to begin! Don't think this will be our Cup year, but we're getting closer!
Tough 4-5 matchup. I though Anisimov played really well in the playoffs two years ago even though he saw very limited minutes. He and Stralman are similar in that they're players that have the potential to be game changers, but often times need a fire lit under them.
I gave my vote, perhaps unfairly, to Stralman simply because he can continue to help us, whereas Anisimov now plays against us in the same division.
This alone means Anisimov gets my vote:
Artie was a highlight reel player. Most of his gos were scored off individual effort.
And he liked to hit. Good people in my book.
And yes the whole gun stock thing. Overblown.
Artie would thrive in AV's system!
1:11AM and it's Artie. I missed midnight. close one

"I was blown away by the beautiful Parc des Eaux-Vives", said Ion Tiriac. For him, there was no doubt. The Tennis Club Geneva offers the best facilities for the organization of a tennis tournament.
This club, overlooking one of the most beautiful parks in the city, just a few steps from the harbour, will soon celebrate its 120th anniversary. A club that the best players in the world have discovered with the same delight as Ion Tiriac.
Between 1980 and 1991, the Geneva tournament was called Martini Open until 1986, and then the Barclay Open. Three former world no.1 players were crowned champions: Björn Borg in 1981, Mats Wilander in 1982 and 1983, and Thomas Muster in 1991. These twelve editions of the first "life" of the Geneva tennis event was also lucky for two Swiss players: Claudio Mezzadri in 1987 and Marc Rosset in 1989. Aged 18, the child of Champel ranked no.157th in the world, eliminated players like Guy Forget en-route to his victorious final against Argentina's Guillermo Perez-Roldan.
"The club's history is closely linked to high-level tennis", explained the TC Geneva President, Alain Tripod. "It is the memories of the highlights of Martini Open and Barclay Open which prompted us to welcome the Geneva Open tournament to the ATP circuit," he added. "Geneva has all the conditions and facilities to become one of the best tournaments of the year. All players were struck by the beauty of the surroundings, including the top-seeded Stan Wawrinka."

Merry Christmas
I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope the new year brings you and those close to you many blessings. As I look at my family and our home tonight I am reminded of how blessed we are. We each have each other, a home, our jobs, and good food. There is truly nothing missing from our lives that is necessary for life. While we have our wants I know there are those out there that still have needs. This year we want to encourage each other and each of you to find a way to appreciate and preserve the things that matter most, and if you realize you too have all that is really necessary please give to those who do not.

The former owner of Annapolis Inflatables is now a managing partner of a Stevensville company that develops and sells rigid inflatable boats around the country.
Boyd Tomkies' Fluid Watercraft falls under the Affinity Marine Group banner. The company will debut its initial models - the Fluid R280 and the Fluid R350 - at both the U.S. Powerboat Show in Annapolis and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show later this year. Tomkies started the business with Steve Everett, who also serves as founder and managing partner.
Annapolis Inflatables is the Mid-Atlantic dealer for Zodiac Milpro inflatables for military and professional use, along with Zodiac Recreational Inflatables. It made headlines in 2011 after selling 10 Zodiac boats to the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Tomkies sold Annapolis Inflatables earlier this year for an undisclosed amount.

Home > Reviews > Eyepieces > 1 to 11.9mm > WO SPL Eyepieces – 3mm, 6mm, 12.5mm
WO SPL Eyepieces – 3mm, 6mm, 12.5mm
What is a WO SPL?
William Optics expanded on their list of eyepiece lines in 2007 with a new series called the Super Planetary Long Eye Relief, or SPL series of eyepieces. The SPL series has several characteristics that define their position in the vast market of eyepieces available. They all have a 55 degree apparent field of view (AFOV), they all have 20mm of eye relief which is quite a lot, and they are all priced at $129 each, or currently at $319 for the set of three. They come in three focal lengths currently; 3mm, 6mm, and 12.5mm, in the standard 1.25" barrel size. They contain 7 elements in 4 groups, each having a large glass element to look through, and are fully multicoated with blackened edges. The barrels have a tapered cut to them, like other WO products, which prevents the eyepieces from snagging on the typical compression ring eyepiece holder common today. Another feature typical of the WO eyepieces is their all black anodized finish, which looks nice and seems pretty resistant to wear. The packaging they come in is typical WO high quality sturdy boxes and custom cut foam.
Testing Equipment
Not all eyepieces perform the same with different telescope types and focal ratios. The telescope used for these tests is my WO Megrez 80mm APO doublet refractor scope. It allows me to reach focus in my basement at about 35 feet, which is handy for critical daylight testing against charts, and provides sharp color free viewing of planets. I have a high resolution chart and a grid made up of 1cm squares that I have used for a variety of testing purposes in my basement for very controlled and repeatable testing purposes. I tested indoors and outside, in both darkness and daylight, in an attempt to find and isolate issues that might exist with the system or its components. The focal length of this scope is 555mm and it has a focal ratio of F/6.9 which is not considered to be fast or slow, but right in the middle. The following values are given for comparison in my system.
Specifications when used in my refractor
3mm – 185X – Exit Pupil .43mm – True FOV .30 deg
6mm – 93X – Exit Pupil .86mm – True FOV .59 deg
12.5mm – 44X – Exit Pupil 1.8mm – True FOV 1.24 deg
Physical Characteristics of the eyepieces
All three of the SPLs look very similar in that the upper half (the half you look into) which has a nice soft rubber eyecup, and a large lens to look through. In fact, the WO website has a detailed diagram showing the design of these, if you are into seeing how these lenses are laid out, and it appears that all three have exactly the same upper layout for the glass elements. The 3mm is the longest, although none are what I would call heavy eyepieces. They all have black interiors with ridged edges to help baffle light reflections inside the eyepiece.
Indoor Testing Results
Indoors on my charts, they all produced a very sharp image, with no visible aberrations. Really, I couldn't see any aberrations of any type in my telescope. All showed no significant signs of field curvature, barrel or pincushion distortion, or any other visible aberrations that I could detect. 20mm of eye relief is a lot more than I was used to, and I found the best location for my eye was actually close to but not touching against the rubber eye cup. I tested these with my reading glasses on just for fun, since I don't need glasses for distance vision with the eyepiece cub folded down, and feel confident that eyeglass wearers will love the eye relief on these
Outdoor Testing Results
I tested all three eyepieces on a variety of objects, including planets, the moon, and various DSOs, and again found them all to be excellent performers. The initial testing on planets included Venus, and Saturn when they were off to the West, and all three eyepieces performed extremely well. The 3mm eyepiece is pushing the practical limits of my 80mm refractor, but on Saturn, it proved to be my favorite when the skies were steady enough. On Venus, I found the 6mm produced the best views. With Jupiter, the 6mm produced the best image most of the time, and only occasionally found the 3mm to provide any additional detail, which wasn't surprising since Jupiter was positioned rather low and to the South in a rather poor location for me. On the Moon, all three worked equally well, with no real signs of glare or flaring. In all cases, I felt that the eyepieces are equal in quality to each other. On DSOs, they performed equally well, and the 3mm was exceptionally good for viewing double stars. In open star clusters, these eyepieces produce sharp to the edge star field views with no noticeable astigmatism or field curvature. I finally got a chance to observe Mars, but the skies were not very steady, and the 3mm eyepiece proved to be too much for the skies I was viewing through. The 6mm worked well, but I what I really needed was something in between, so I combined the nosepiece of the 3mm with the body of the 12.5mm, and this provided the best views of the night. More details on this are below.
Comparisons to other eyepieces
UWANs – The significantly wider field of view of the UWANs is a huge advantage for me since I am using an EZTouch mount from WO that does not track the sky, and have significant light pollution. This is true for every object I viewed, yet surprisingly the 55 deg FOV SPLs wasn't as much of a hindrance as I thought it might be. The twist up eye cup design of the UWAN is very nice, and I wish the SPLs had the same feature. On planets, the SPLs showed less light scatter, with equal sharpness and contrast. On DSOs, the clarity and contrast was equal, but the wider fields of view with the UWANs was a definite advantage. The UWANs have less eye relief, which was noticeable when switching back and forth.
7mm BO/TMB Planetary - The 6mm SPL and 7mm BO/TMB appeared identical to me in optical performance, except that they had less eye relief. I really didn't notice that the AFOV on these was any different, even though the specs say it is 60 deg vs. 55 deg on the SPLs. The SPL has a softer rubber eyecup, but the BO/TMB has a twist up eye cup, both are comfortable, with the SPL having slightly more eye relief. The WO SPL has an edge in fit and finish, but the two performed equally in all my optical tests.
7mm TV Nagler – The 7mm Televue Nagler compared more closely to the 7mm UWAN, and I found those two to be nearly identical in performance optically. The 7mm Nagler showed slightly less light scatter on planets than the 7mm UWAN, but the 6mm SPL showed even less light scatter than the Nagler to my eyes. This was most evident to my eyes on Jupiter. The Nagler is of course a much wider view at 82 deg AFOV, and appeared to have a warmer color while viewing. On DSOs, again the wide field of view wins, however a much shorter eye relief than the SPLs.
Plossls and Orthos – I have used a variety of Plossls including TV plossls in 8, 11, and 15mm sizes, Nexstar Plossls (the kit ones), an Orion Highlight 6.3mm plossl, a Meade 26mm plossl and an Antares volcano top 6mm ortho. I don't own any of these eyepieces any more, so this is not a direct comparison. TV plossls were excellent optically, but I found myself barlowing the plossls with a 3 element Ultima Barlow, it occurred to me that I was looking through exactly the same number of glass elements as the SPLs. The biggest reason I no longer have any plossls or orthos, is due to less comfortable eye relief and much smaller front glass element. The SPLs are simply much nicer to use, it really is no comparison.
And now for the surprise
I decided to try switching the nose pieces and barrel pieces around one night and found that they could be unscrewed and reattached in different combinations. While this is not something I would generally recommend, due to the likelihood of dropping something in the dark, getting your fingers on the glass, or getting unwanted dust inside the eyepiece, it fascinated me enough to test the combinations to see if I could determine what focal lengths I was creating. I used my indoor grid chart, and measuring the field of view, created a relative scale that may be interesting to someone else who buys the set of three. The testing results from my combinations revealed the following. I'll use the abbreviations of NP to mean the nose piece, the part that has the Barlow type lens in it, and EP to mean the eye piece, the part that varies in length.
3mm NP + 3mm EP = 3mm total
3mm NP + 6mm EP = 3.1mm total
3mm NP + 12.5mm EP = 4.3mm total
6mm NP + 3mm EP = 5.7mm total
6mm NP + 6mm EP = 6mm total
6mm NP + 12.5mm EP = 8.3mm total
12.5mm NP + 3mm EP = 8.8mm total
12.5mm NP + 6mm EP = 9.3mm total
12.5mm NP + 12.5mm EP = 12.5mm total
I gave various options a try and found out that in all cases they came to focus, and did not seem to introduce any noticeable aberrations, except for a visible reflection ring at the edge of the field stop while using the 3mm nose piece with the 6mm and 12.5mm eyepieces in daylight. Of course, it would make more sense to buy dedicated eyepieces with the sizes in between the current offerings if they become available (hint –WO if you are reading this, how about some more sizes?), but for now this may provide me or others with a way of ending up with some in between sizes for that occasional night when the delivered sizes aren't exactly what is needed.
One more small surprise
I tried all three eyepieces in my Stellarvue 50mm RACI Finder Scope and they all worked surprisingly well. I was actually quite shocked to see that they performed much better than the stock crosshair eyepiece, even though this finder has a 200mm focal length, making it a rather fast F/4 optical scope. Star fields are sharp to the edge in all three.
Negative Aspects
First, these eyepieces are only available in three sizes right now. In addition, the first batch that WO made was not threaded for filters; however WO informed me that this has been changed and newer batches are being threaded.
The SPL eyepieces fill a gap that I think is one that many will enjoy. They have long eye relief and are very comfortable to view through. They provide a moderate field of view, and have high quality optics suitable for planetary viewing. I think the combination of available sizes are best suited to short focal length refractors like the various ED/APO scopes, because they allow the user to get to high magnifications without having to use a Barlow. They are a good compliment to my UWAN eyepieces because they show more detail for planetary viewing, when my skies permit it. These are definitely keepers for me, and will remain in my eyepiece lineup for a long time. I hope WO decides to offer additional sizes on these in the future.

In an era when electronic communications can be overwhelming, face-to-face meetings with legislators add value to the advocacy process. Your legislators want to hear from you, their constituent, about the important issues facing the district, the state, and the country. This document aims to assist you in meeting with your legislators.
Each year, Congress takes several "District Work Period" breaks [PDF], during which they work out of their local offices rather than on Capitol Hill. Members are also frequently at home in August, around holidays, and at the beginning and/or end of each week. Unfortunately, the House and Senate do not necessarily follow the same calendar.
Contact the legislator's local office, which can be found on his or her individual website at United States House of Representatives or United States Senate. Ask for the contact information of the person who schedules in-district meetings for the member of Congress. You will need to submit your meeting request in writing, even if you speak to someone in the legislator's office.
Review a sample appointment request letter. In the letter, explain the purpose of your visit, identify participants in the meeting, and suggest possible meeting dates. Be flexible! The more flexible you are about the date, the more likely it is that your meeting can be included on the legislator's schedule. If you don't hear back from a member of your legislator's staff, be persistent as well as polite. Sometimes requests get lost, so don't be afraid to follow-up by sending an e-mail or calling the office.
Let ASHA know when you have appointments scheduled by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com. ASHA staff can provide updates on current legislative issues or answer any questions. Confirm your appointment with the legislator's office one to two weeks prior to the meeting. Legislators' schedules change quickly, so confirming the details of the meeting is always a good idea.
When it is time to meet with your legislator, be punctual and patient. Lawmakers have very busy schedules; a late arrival may mean that you miss your appointment. However, you may also need to be flexible. It is not uncommon for a lawmaker to be late, or to have a meeting interrupted, due to the member's crowded schedule. Be flexible if your time is cut short; offer to accompany your lawmaker to his or her next appointment so you can talk further.
If you developed a rapport with your lawmaker, consider building a relationship by:
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact ASHA's Federal Advocacy Team at 202-624-5951 or email@example.com.

|Models, More Stars Hit Sundance Slopes
|Sheila Marikar
|Jan 20, 2013, 2:33 PM
Credit: Michael Stewart/Getty Images.
PARK CITY, Utah - Park City got just a little bit hotter on Saturday when Victoria's Secret beauty Alessandra Ambrosio hit the slopes. Ambrosio stopped by Oakley and New Era's Learn to Ride lounge before strapping on a snowboard for the first time. Later that night, she rocked out at Hyde to the tunes of Adrian Grenier's band, The Skins.
PHOTOS: Stars at the Sundance Film Festival
Other stars opted for indoor activities - Mamie Gummer, Meryl Streep's daughter and the co-star of the Sundance film "The Lifeguard," got her makeup done at Urban Decay's beauty bar in the Fender lounge. Jane Seymour touched up her hair at the Keratin Complex pop up salon. Octavia Spencer copped a new Speck case for her iPhone at Variety's Sundance studio, and also popped into the Talent Resources suite to browse through Sean Jean jackets. "Dancing With the Stars'" Karina Smirnoff and "90210's" Annalynne McCord came by Talent Resources to check out Cover Girl makeup and nibble on macarons from Macaron Magnifique.
The Secret to Getting Into Sundance Parties: Get on This List
But wait, we're here for the movies, right? Saturday night's toast of the town was "Fruitvale," a heart-wrenching re-telling of the events leading up to the murder of Oscar Grant at a San Francisco BART station in 2009. Spencer and her co-star Michael B. Jordan gamely hugged well-wishers and fans at "Fruitvale's" premiere party at the Grey Goose Blue Door Lounge. Later, Casey Affleck, Josh Hartnett, and none other than Tony Danza came through to party, signaling that Grey Goose was very much the boss of Saturday night's film party circuit.

On maiden visit, Jordan's King Abdullah hails India
December 01, 2006 00:18 IST
Jordan sought India's support on Thursday to resolve the Palestinian issue, contending that delay or failure to settle the matter could have 'unimaginable consequences' for all countries.
Hailing India, the Jordanian King said it has been in the forefront of the emerging multipolar world by 'setting global standards for innovation, excellence and creativity'.
Jordanian King Abdullah II Bin El Hussein hoped India and Pakistan can find a peaceful resolution to the 'problem' of Jammu and Kashmir 'that will enable the people of the region to live in peace, which they so rightfully deserve'.
"The core conflict in our region continues to be fuelled by the denial of Palestinian rights and sovereignty. This ongoing crisis is the cause of immense suffering and violence," he said in a lecture soon after his arrival on a three-day visit.
He stressed the need for restoration of confidence which 'means achieving results on the ground, bringing tangible relief to the victims of violence and occupation'.
Favouring granting of 'political horizon' to Palestinians and Israelis that gives them hope to overcome their distrust and fear, the King said 'all this will require support from Arab countries, the Quartet of major powers, and leading nations like yours'.
He said that 'delay and failure will have unimaginable consequences for all our countries' and that 'success will have global benefits, closing one door of opportunity to extremists'.
"This is especially important when we consider the acute situation in Iraq," he said. "This crisis, too, calls urgently for international cooperation -- to stabilise the country, engage all communities in the political process, and rebuild a sovereign, unified and stable Iraq."
Expressing his keenness for furthering bilateral ties with India, he favoured joint ventures and other collaborations in major areas including IT and pharmaceuticals besides cultural and interfaith understanding.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Sainey Nyassi's 10th-minute goal made the difference as the Revolution took a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas yesterday to conclude their opening preseason trip with a 3-0-0 record.
The Revolution went with Zak Boggs at right back and Stephen McCarthy in central midfield in place of Kevin Alston and Shalrie Joseph, who were suspended because of an off-field incident. Ryan Cochrane paired with A.J. Soares in central defense, their effectiveness improving as the game progressed.
"A lot more positives than last games,'' said Revolution coach Steve Nicol. "It's always good to win and it's always good not to let any goals in.''
The Revolution created most of their threats on the wings, Boggs and Nyassi advancing on the right, Didier Domi and Chris Tierney on the left.
Nyassi scored after driving in unmarked, taking a diagonal ball from Zack Schilawski, and finishing past Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz.
"He does it in practice every day, honestly,'' Boggs said. "Right foot, left foot, back post — the kid has that move down. We just need him to do it once a game.''
Boggs joined the Revolution as an attacking player, scoring twice in his first professional start last year.
"Defense comes first for a defensive player, but it depends on how you twist it,'' Boggs said. "If you twist it like you're starting the attack, that's fine. But you've got to be patient. I get forward as much as I can. When you've got Sainey in front of you, he's blazing fast, so you can't overlap him, but I do what I can.''
FC Dallas, using mostly reserve players, seldom threatened out of a 4-5-1 alignment. But Dallas was able to get a through ball to Maykel Galindo, who went wide (20th). Galindo had a solo effort for a half volley on the left side, New England goalkeeper Matt Reis blocking the shot and Bruno Guarda's rebound (37th).
The Revolution attempted to play a patient, possession game, conserving energy in 80-degree temperatures.
"We did pass the ball pretty well at times — that's encouraging,'' Nicol said. "We were pretty disappointed with what we'd done in the last couple games. I thought we looked much, much better.''
Tierney broke through and shot wide (27th) and Nyassi had a left-footer saved (42d) just after Dallas's Bryan Leyva had been floored on a clean takeaway by Cochrane. The Revolution ended the half on the offensive, McCarthy's header off a corner saved (44th).
"I was thinking, 'I can't go in soft on guys,' '' Cochrane said of his tackle on Leyva. "He was the smallest guy out there, but it's good as a defender to get a nice hard hit like that.''
Cochrane on combining with Soares: "I'm not sure he needs to work on a whole lot. He's going to be a good player for a long time.''
Dallas added Peri Marosevic to the attack in the second half, and nearly scored on a Nyassi back-pass, Reis racing out of the penalty area and making two saves. Dallas's Bobby Warshaw hit a free kick off the crossbar following a Domi caution in the 81st minute.

Angel's Starlight
A group of friendly delinquents stumble upon a very quiet stranger on a school night, not knowing what to do with her. They decided not to abandon the helpless girl and take her in to what they call "their home". Ever since she entered their lives, unexpected things start happening, which makes each delinquent of the group question their lives for the future.
A story written for the Ready, Set, WRITE! {SHINee Writing Contest}. It follows Prompt #4 in the contest:
"What can I do to make you happy?"
Enjoy. :)
Five boys become reliable friends, and together, they create a living out of stealing and other sneaky antics to get what they want.
One night, the now five men (who are qualified as university students) accidentally find a small fragile girl on the streets of Itaewon in South Korea. Her silent responses to their curious questions led them to taking her to their secret "home".
What happens to these five men once this girl enters their lives?
Snippet from 1st chapter:
"Guys, I think she's mute," Onew voiced out as the girl simply stared at all of them from where she was sitting. Key personally felt that the little girl shouldn't sit on such dirty ground.
Then again, they were all outdoors, and the girl probably didn't mind, considering how her short white dress is dirty and torn.
Jonghyun was the first one to bravely come closer and carefully lifted her in his arms. The dirty girl looked like she was really sleepy, then a few moments later her eyes closed and her head rested against Jonghyun's chest. He looked up at his friends with a smile on his face. "Can we keep her?"
Character Analysis:
Onew (Jinki)
- likes - chicken

(mystery girl's character will be revealed in the story, but here's a picture of her: )
(Sorry, but you'll have to imagine her facial features yourselves. Especially if you are a girl and is reading this fanfic, you can imagine yourself as her. :])
P.S.: This story is entirely fictional, including any information within the story that may sound realistic.

André Leon Talley Just Wants to Blend In
Diane von Furstenberg was in Washington yesterday for the inauguration (who wasn't?) and says the experience gave her the "feeling that something major is happening." You think? Diane wasn't there alone, though. André Leon Talley served as her "chaperone," and she reports that ALT happens to be "a big star" with Obama fans. "People are constantly stopping him to pose for pictures... he complains a lot, but I am sure deep down he is happy." Just imagine how unhappy he'd have been if no one had noticed him at all! [DVF]

Our Mission: The Mattabeseck Audubon Society, a chapter of the National Audubon
Society, is committed to environmental leadership and education for
the benefit of the community and the earth's biodiversity.
deKoven House, 27 Washington Street, Middletown, Connecticut 06457
Helen Carlson Wildlife Sanctuary
. . . a nature preserve consisting of a variety of habitats, including an ever-changing wetland that was once a unique cranberry bog.
Open free to the public all year round.
Owned by and maintained by volunteers from the Mattabeseck Audubon Society.
Please visit our 19-acre Carlson Sanctuary to observe the natural diversity of this unique site and sign the register in the booth at the head of the trail.
Contributions toward the maintenance of the Helen Carlson Wildlife Sancutary can be made to the Mattabeseck Audubon Society Sanctuary Fund, deKoven House, 27 Washington Street, Middletown, CT 06457.
The slow-moving stream that feeds the area of the sanctuary provided moisture for the development of many wetland plants. A study of the geology and paleoecology of the site by Wesleyan student Brian Betensky determined that cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) have been growing here for at least 3,000 years. Early English colonists noticed the succulent fruits and harvested the wild berries. By the nineteenth century, the same 13 acres of this wetland changed hands often as the site was developed for market production.
Unlike the flooded commercial cranberry sites at Cape Cod, MA, the cranberries here were dry harvested, using a wooden box with metal tines acting like fingers that combed through the plants to collect the berries for sale.
In the 20th century, new plots were created by laying sand and moving plants from the original wild area of the marsh. Ditches were excavated to funnel water into and out of the plots. This complex water control system flooded the cranberry plants in the winter to protect them from freezing and drained the water during the growing season.
By the 1950s, the cranberry operation on South Road had declined and few berries went to market. Fearing that the bog would be sold and mined for peat, Portland resident Helen Carlson, well-known for her interest in the environment, purchased the cranberry bog. Mrs. Carlson donated the site to the Mattabeseck Audubon Society (MAS) in 1976 to preserve it forever. Shortly thereafter, with a grant from the Rockfall Foundation in Middletown, MAS worked with students from Long Lane School to create a nature trail and boardwalk through the wetland and adjacent forest. In 1978, the trail was opened to the public, and the site was dedicated to Mrs. Carlson.
Viewing Platform
While struggling to find a way to provide an optimal experience at our sanctuary, MAS was contacted by Wesleyan University Assistant Professor of Art Elijah Huge in the fall of 2007 with a proposal to build an observation station. Over the spring semester of 2008, his Architecture Research-Design-Build Studio class designed, planned, selected and acquired materials, and constructed a split-frame elevated viewing station consisting of a lower floating observation deck and an elevated platform connected by a hinged staircase that moves and corrects for changing water elevation. The lower deck includes a multi-tiered seating arrangement for visitors and students. The upper platform is supported by an aluminum frame with cypress railings and recycled plastic flooring, overlooking the sanctuary and beaver lodge. This state-of-the art observation platform offers easy access to viewing, floats on the changing water level, and is sustainable and maintenance free, and has served as a prototype for other organizations interested in similar projects.
For about 20 years, MAS maintained the nature trail and boardwalk and followed a plan to nurture the cranberry plots in much the same way as was done during the days of commercial production. This included regular flooding and draining, mowing, and periodic sanding to rejuvenate plant production.
A family of beavers moved into the sanctuary about the year 2000, raising the water level and completely changing the ecosystem. The continuous high water caused by the many dams constructed by the new residents virtually wiped out the cranberries and other acid-loving plants that colonized the site. The boardwalk rotted and had to be discontinued, and other parts of the trail became impassable. The site is now an open water marsh with emergent water plants.
The beaver (Casteroides canadensis) was extirpated from Connecticut by the early 1800s as a result of the fur trade. In the early 20th century, the beaver was reintroduced to the state. Since then, they have proliferated and occupy most wetland areas. Beavers are the largest rodent in North America, are magnificent engineers, and are second only to humans in the creation of habitat. Beavers at the sanctuary have been known to stop the flow of water in 15 minutes.
The beaver is uniquely adapted to its watery domain. Besides its thick skin and dense fur that insulate its body, it has webbed feet for swimming, and its lips seal around its mouth to keep water out while internal valves automatically close the ears and nose. Its eyes have a special nictitating membrane that allows it to see under water. It uses its tail as a rudder for swimming and as a warning device by slapping the water to alert other beavers to danger. Its large front teeth grow continuously so that it can cut down trees for dams, lodges, and food.
When first arriving in an area, they build a dam to hold back the water to a sufficient depth to build a lodge of sticks, logs, and mud. Then, they chew into the lodge making several entrances and living space. The water level must be maintained so that the entrance is far enough under water to keep from being frozen in winter. Otherwise, they cant go in and out to feed. Branches of food are stored under water near the lodge. While beavers have preferences for food, they will eat almost any type of vegetation.
Baby beavers, kits, are born in the spring. Young beavers stay with their parents until their second year when they are forced to leave home to mate and start another colony.
What to See
In June along the path to the viewing platform, two species of orchid bloom Rose Pogonia and Calopogan. Sundews, carnivorous plants that catch their prey in sticky, spatula-like leaves, may be seen along the damp trenches. In the deeper water, you may see Wood ducks, Painted turtles, Canada geese, and herons.
At dusk, the beavers leave their lodge for an evening of work, cutting trees and shrubs to maintain their food supply and shore up any leaks in their dams. The beaver lodge can be seen from the viewing platform to the east side of the lake.
Along parts of the old trail system to the north and south, you may see White-tailed deer, large expanses of ferns, beaked hazelnuts, a shrub with an acorn-like fruit concealed by extended tubular bracts that look like a long snout, and witch hazel, which produces a wispy, yellow flower around Halloween. Deeper into the forest, you may hear the flutelike song of the Wood thrush.
New aquatic vegetation has replaced the cranberries. Water-shield, with its oval leaves, and white water lilies now cover the surface of the water. The sweet-smelling shrub buttonbush, a favorite of butterflies, has become prevalent. It gets its name from the round clusters of small flowers that resemble pin cushions. After flowering, the heads turn into ball-shaped buttons. Also new is Meadow beauty, a deep pink flower with unusual curving yellow stamens.
Submerged portions of all aquatic plants provide habitats for many micro and macro invertebrates. These invertebrates in turn are used as food by fish and other wildlife species, especially frogs that can be heard singing in the spring and croaking through the summer.

Lend-a-Paw Day at the Sanctuary
For the 3rd time, students from Rocky Hill High School came to the Carlson Sanctuary to help with maintenance as part of their community service program called Lend-a-Paw. Twenty-two students, led by their teacher and MAS board member, Kim Antol, spread wood chips along the trails, repaired vandalism to the viewing platform, cleared the trail of downed trees, removed fallen branches in the parking area, and took out 5 beaver dams to increase the flow of water through the sanctuary. When asked what their favorite activity was, they always say, "Dam busting." Mattabeseck is grateful for their help, without which, many of these tasks would not get done.
Thank You from MAS from Joanne Luppi
Mattabeseck Audubon Society is very grateful to Ben Srb and his employees of Primary Landscaping in Portland. Ben was able to haul the corn crib from the 400 William St. property to the Portland Historical Society's Museum property on Main St. in Portland. This is one of the few corn cribs remaining in Portland and Mattabeseck donated it the Historical Society because of its historical significance. We also appreciated Ben's removing an old car from the rear of the property for us.
Primary Landscaping has been more than helpful to Mattabeseck. Both this fall and last fall they have delivered a load of wood chips to the Helen Carlson Sanctuary. These chips were used by the Rocky Hill High School students to mulch the trail to the new observation platform. The students were amazing as they worked at the Sanctuary for their "Lend-a-Paw" day. Spreading of the chips was only one of the many tasks they completed.
Viewing Platform Dedicated to Vince Marteka on October 19, 2008
It all began with a mid-winter presentation by Elijah Huge, Wesleyan University architecture professor, to the MAS Board of Directors. Would the Board be interested in an observation station placed strategically for greatest effect within the MAS-owned Helen Carlson Sanctuary in Portland? Professor Huge's students would be responsible for visiting the site, developing an appropriate design, and building the final product.
It seemed like a winning combination—MAS's need for a new observation platform, and an opportunity for Professor Huge to give his students a hands-on project to further their understanding of real-world architectural concerns.
The Board gave their unanimous approval. A series of visits to the Helen Carlson Sanctuary by Professor Huge and several students, accompanied by MAS President Alison Guinness, led to several designs that were eventually pared down to the winning idea.
The platform had to be made of durable, maintenance-free material. It had to be innovative and stylish while still functional. It had to come within budget. And it had to overcome the main physical constraint of the Sanctuary—water. Beaver dams have raised the depth of the water and made any engineering other than the beaver's own work very challenging.
At the end of April, Professor Huge and his students undertook the challenge. They labored enthusiastically throughout the month of May, aided by MAS volunteers who broke the beaver dams every day for a week, in order to lower the water level enough to allow footings to be sunk for the upper level of the observation platform.
By June, the platform—consisting of aluminum frames with cypress railings and seating, and recycled plastic flooring—had essentially been installed. There is some minor detailing to be completed, but the platform is functional and open to the public. MAS hopes everyone will enjoy the view, and the workmanship.
Our thanks once again to Professor Huge and the Wesleyan students!
