Product Details
SynthaMax™ Panel Red Air Filter by AIRAID®. Advanced air filtration technology, superior construction and the world's best warranty make an AIRAID air filter the best you can buy. It allows increased airflow and provides better air filtration than the factory air filter, which results in improved performance and engine protection.
- Improves airflow and engine performance
- Provides superior air filtration and engine protection
- Over 99% efficiency rating
- Available in traditional wash and re-oil SynthaFlow version or non-oiled SynthaMax
- Both filters can be washed and reused
- All filters backed by AIRAID's "No Hassle" warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
All aftermarket air filter companies make claims for better airflow, but how many of those increases come at the expense of inferior air filtration? AIRAID air filters allow increased airflow while trapping the smallest dirt particles, the size that ordinary cotton-gauze "performance" air filters can't capture. In fact, AIRAID filters have over a 99% efficiency rating. And AIRAID is so confident in the performance of their filters that each one is backed by their "No Hassle" warranty.
AIRAID filters come in two versions, the SynthaMax and the original SynthaFlow. At first glance, the SynthaFlow would appear to be just another aftermarket cotton-gauze air filter, but it's much more advanced. The SynthaFlow is a cotton-gauze and synthetic blend that outperforms plain cotton-gauze in clean air testing. The SynthaFlow features "five layer" filtration, with 4 layers of cotton-gauze supplemented by "the last layer of defense", a layer of synthetic media that produces the cleanest air of any washable filter. The filtering media is held together by epoxy coated aluminum wire mesh, specially designed to provide the optimum balance between maximum airflow and peak filtration. The SynthaFlow filter only requires servicing every 30-50 thousand miles under normal conditions, at which time it should be washed and re-oiled.
The SynthaMax is AIRAID's next generation high-tech air filter. It's 100% synthetic, non-oiled and washable. The inner filter media consists of two distinct layers of specifically designed synthetic materials that have separate performance characteristics. These layers are designed to work together to provide outstanding airflow and exceptionally high filtration. Contaminants are first captured by the outer layer of synthetic needlefelt polyester material, designed for wet and dry filtration with high airflow capacity. The inner layer of rayon/polyester captures any remaining contaminants while maintaining high airflow and low restriction. The inner filter media is supported by an inner and outer layer of wire mesh for strength and durability. The SynthaMax filter requires service every 15-30 thousand miles under normal conditions, at which time it should be washed with mild household detergent, rinsed and allowed to dry.
All AIRAID air filters feature a urethane frame, which is much more durable than the rubber used by most aftermarket filter manufacturers. And all panel style filters are made with 304 stainless steel mesh, for exceptional durability. The strength of the stainless steel won't allow the filter to bow in the center, allowing unfiltered air into the engine.
Finally, each AIRAID filter is backed by AIRAID's "No Hassle" warranty. There are no limitations or fine print here. Simply, if you're ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air filter, just send it back... period! You don't have to worry about a proof of purchase or a warranty card. AIRAID filters are warranted for life.
AIRAID® was founded in 1997 when they began developing and manufacturing air intake systems for light trucks and SUVs, utilizing the cotton-gauze filter technology that was available at the time. These systems increased airflow and performance while being easy to install, and sold so well that the company soon realized that another source of filters was necessary. They believed they could produce a better quality filter using new technology and state-of-the-art materials, and so in 2002 the AIRAID Filter Company was formed. Today AIRAID is the recognized leader in air management technology. Extensive research and development has allowed AIRAID to come to market first with high quality products that improve drivability and performance.

What is a Core Curriculum?
Introduction: What Is a Core Curriculum?
Educators define "core curriculum" as the knowledge and skills expected to be learned by a student by high school graduation. Generally, the core curriculum consists of knowledge and skills related to academic subjects. Mastery of the core curriculum is what both parents and teachers stress as essential for academic success in school, and later in life. In most states, opportunities are provided for students to meet other criteria in cases when those students cannot meet the academic demands of the core curriculum.
There are many versions of the core curriculum. In our country, each state assumes responsibility for minimum standards for high school graduation. This core curriculum becomes the foundation for almost all learning, from kindergarten through high school.
With respect to blind and visually impaired students, the existing core curriculum, as developed for sighted students, is entirely appropriate and generally available. Because educators of visually impaired students have developed expertise in curriculum adaptation, it should be possible to take any curriculum that has been developed and make it readily available for visually impaired learners. If blindness or visual impairment presents only the problem of accessibility to learning materials, then the issue of education of visually impaired students is solved by adaptation of the existing core curriculum.
Some educators of visually impaired students believe that it is true that the child in a regular classroom who has access to all curricular materials is as equally prepared to learn as her sighted classmates. But most professionals hold a strong position that there is an expanded core curriculum for visually impaired students that requires additional areas of learning.
There are experiences and concepts casually and incidentally learned by sighted students that must be systematically and sequentially taught to the visually impaired student. The core curriculum for visually impaired students is not the same as for sighted students. Indeed, it is much larger and more complex.
The concept of a core curriculum for visually impaired learners has been discussed by professionals and parents for many years. It has been called many things. It has been referred to as the specialized curriculum, or specialized needs, the unique curriculum, or unique needs, the non-academic curriculum, the dual curriculum, and most recently, the disability-specific curriculum.
These other terms are sometimes a distraction to the important issue. The term core curriculum has been used to define the basic educational needs of sighted students for many years. It is proposed that the term core curriculum for blind and visually impaired students be used to define the basic educational needs for this population. It conveys the same message as the original core curriculum. Words like specialized, unique, and disability-specific are not needed, and, indeed, may give an erroneous connotation to basic educational needs. The terms imply two separate lists of educational needs for visually impaired students. One list contains the elements of a traditional core curriculum. The other is a list of "disability-specific" needs. Two lists provide educators with options, such as one list being required and the other consisting of electives. There should be only one list, and that should consist of the required core curriculum for visually impaired students.
The existence of special needs, or a unique core curriculum for blind and visually impaired students, has been known for years. References to the subject of grooming skills date back as far as 1891. The need for social interaction skills appears in the literature in 1929 and again in 1948. Between the years 1953 and 1975, there are more than two dozen references to books and articles written about daily living skills and visually impaired students. Many more articles and documents have been written about orientation and mobility and career education. The expanded core curriculum now being promoted is not new--its need has been known for decades.
Although states determine the content of the core curriculum individually, most states demand that competencies in basic subjects be mastered. The following example incorporates these basic subjects and adds the expanded core curriculum for visually impaired students:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Braxton Miller's status as No. 4 Ohio State's starting quarterback for Saturday's game at California is still up in the air.
Miller sustained a sprained ligament in his left knee in last weekend's 42-7 victory over San Diego State.
"Braxton Miller will be a day-to-day decision," coach Urban Meyer said on Monday. "I just met with him today. He's feeling much better. He was a little stiff, which, the first 48 hours after that injury is very tough."
Miller was hurt on Ohio State's first offensive possession when he kept the ball on a passing play and was pinned between two defenders, twisted and fell backward to the turf.
He did not return to the game. Kenny Guiton came in to pass for two touchdowns and run for another score in his place.
Meyer, who confirmed that the junior's injury was a sprained medial-collateral ligament, said he would not err on the side of caution and stick with Guiton to allow Miller extra time to be completely healthy.
"I don't think so, no," he said. "If he's healthy to play and play like Braxton plays, which, you know, he's not your pocket quarterback and he does a lot of things for us. But if he's healthy to go, he'll certainly go. We are not saving him or holding him back.
"This will (take) everything we've got to win this game."
Ohio State is a prohibitive favorite against Cal (1-1), which lost its opener at home to Northwestern and then barely beat Football Championship Subdivision member Portland State last week.
Miller, who was not made available for interviews after the game or on Monday, is a three-year starter who has been considered among the top few Heisman Trophy favorites.
Wide receiver Corey Brown said he would be shocked if Miller doesn't play on Saturday.
"I'd be very surprised," he said. "Braxton is a real hard worker. I saw him earlier. He was in the training room rehabbing. I expect him to do what a leader does and he'll be in the training room every day and I think he'll be fine."
Tight end Jeff Heuerman felt the same way.
"Braxton's a tough kid," he said. "If he can play he'll definitely be out there playing for the team. He's kind of taking it day to day but our trainers and coaching staff will do everything they can to have him ready. I know how bad he wants to be out there."
Co-offensive coordinator and line coach Ed Warinner said there's not much of a falloff from Miller to Guiton.
"You don't feel like all of a sudden half of the game plan is eliminated because your second-team quarterback goes in," Warinner said. "We feel that (Guiton) is still very capable of executing just about everything out there."
Meyer said Cardale Jones and freshman J.T. Barrett are the Buckeyes' other scholarship quarterbacks. Both will make the trip out West just in case.
"Plan C and Plan D are real close to each other right now," Meyer said of Jones and Barrett. "We practiced them both yesterday."

Ancestry and Religious Tolerance
So here I am, sticking my neck out and writing about one of the two subjects that I find to be most uncomfortable. Call me very brave indeed.
It struck me last night as I watched three television shows on TLC that I find fascinating. The first is Sister Wives, then 19 and Counting, and the new show that premiered, All American Muslim. It is always interesting to me to learn about the faith of others, how it impacts their lives, perhaps the persecution they suffer because of it, and at times the misunderstanding or complete ignorance of others.
Last night the Sister Wives, who all now live in Las Vegas, traveled to Boston, only a 30 minute ride north of my home. Now they are in my neck of the woods; how about that, I thought, somewhat amused. They visited Harvard University where they gave an audience to students who asked very interesting and intelligent questions. Smart kids go to Harvard.
Then the family visited Plimouth Plantation, only a 30 minute ride south of my home. They were introduced to John Howland's (my 9th great grandfather) wife and a mention was made about a connection to Joseph Smith, Jr. of Vermont, the founder of the Latter Day Saints movement. That comment is what spurred me on to write about Religious Tolerance.
Interestingly enough, my maiden name was Smith. I had a great grandfather by that very same name, Joseph Smith, from Maine, but definitely not that Joseph Smith.
What does all this have to do with genealogy you wonder? How could that promote religious tolerance you ask? In researching my family tree I found the following faithful all praying to God under the following denominations: Methodists, Baptist, Quaker, Puritan, Catholic and now possibly LDS. More research is needed on the latter. Who knows what other faiths could pop up on my tree.
If one finds fault the way others pray to their God, then perhaps it would be best if one researched the history in their own family trees. One just might discover that they have been ridiculing their own ancestors and therefore ultimately themselves. I feel safe to say that just about everyone will find more than one denomination on their genealogy chart. Isn't it worth noting that what is important is that they have a good heart, are kind to their neighbors, intend no harm to others, and live by the golden rule.
What right do we have to condemn others for the way they choose to pray and live their faith. After all, religious freedom is what this country was founded on lest we not forget. Diversity is the faith of life, peace to all.
2 comments:
I always say if you have no faith in anything you are lost. Religion and varying faith's is a personal decision. I know how you feel abut not wanting to discuss this subject, but I think you did a great job. Many of our families and ancestors had different faiths and denominations. I say we respect others where they are. My way may not be the right way but it is for me. Thanks for sharing this post. By the way...the music is soothing on your blog.ReplyDelete
Your post reminds me of a quote I have heard. I don't remember it exactly, but basically that all paths lead to God. I'm with you on respecting the faith of others.ReplyDelete

Published August 31, 2012
By Philippe Crowe
Electric-powered race cars will be competing in a newly created championship to be known as Formula E.
The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has reached an agreement this week to license the commercial rights of the FIA Formula E Championship to a consortium of international investors, Formula E Holdings Ltd (FEH).
Formula E is a new FIA championship featuring Formula cars powered exclusively by electric energy. The FIA says it represents a vision for the future of the motor industry over the coming decades.
FEH, the new promoter, has as anchor investor London-based entrepreneur Enrique Bañuelos, and as CEO and shareholder former MEP and racing team owner Alejandro Agag, who has a long experience in the motor sport business. Also associated with the project are Lord Drayson, Managing Partner of Drayson Racing Technologies, and Eric Barbaroux, Chairman of the French electric automotive company "Electric Formula."
Demonstration runs of the Formula E cars will start in 2013, followed by the championship in 2014 with an objective of 10 teams and 20 drivers participating in the competition. The races will be ideally staged in the heart of the world's leading cities, around their main landmarks.
"I would like to thank all the parties involved" said Jean Todt, President of the FIA. "This new competition at the heart of major cities is certain to attract a new audience. We are pleased with this agreement with Formula E Holdings as they bring a very strong experience in motor sport. This spectacular series will offer both entertainment and a new opportunity to share the FIA values and objectives of clean energy, mobility and sustainability with a wider and younger audience as well."
The series will be open to any cars sanctioned as Formula E by the FIA. The consortium will ensure that a Formula E Car, based on the Formulec EF 01 prototype already in operation, is available for those competing teams willing to race with it.
More information can be found on the newly created FEH Web site.

Smartphones and tablet computers can encourage disadvantaged pre-school children to read, according to a report.
Youngsters are more likely to enjoy looking at a book and be reading at the right level for their age if they have access to the new technology, it found.
The new study, by the National Literacy Trust (NLT) and education firm Pearson suggests there are benefits to young children using both print and a touch screen, compared to reading physical books alone.
The findings, based on a poll of around 1,000 parents of three to five-year-olds, show that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to have access to touch screens - for example through tablet computers - than their richer peers.
But of those children with access to touch screens, pre-schoolers from lower socio-economic backgrounds are twice as likely to look at stories using this technology on a daily basis than those from more privileged homes (16% compared to 7.2%).
It goes on to say that children were more likely to enjoy reading if they used both books and a touch screen than reading books alone (77.4% compared to 70.8%).
The study concludes: "Technology offers a route into reading for disadvantaged three to five-year-old children. Of children who have a touch screen at home, children of lower socio-economic status are twice as likely to look at stories daily.
"We also found that poorer children who use both books and touch screens to look at stories are less likely to perform below the expected standard for their age than if they only look at books."
The study reveals that overall, children are still more likely to read using a physical book, with almost all (95.2%) looking at print-based stories on a typical week.
In comparison, just over one in four (26%) use a touch screen at home to look at stories.
And it suggests that parents are keen on their youngsters using the latest gadgets, with nearly three quarters (73.7%) agreeing that it was important for their son or daughter to learn to use technology from an early age to help them get on at school.
The study also looked at the reading habits of parents and found that the more a mum or dad enjoys reading, the more they think their child enjoys the activity.
Almost half of the parents questioned (46.8%) said they read print on a daily basis, while a similar proportion (45.2%) read on a touch screen daily.
"The more often parents read either print or using a touch screen, the more likely children are to look at or read print-based stories," the study found.
It added: "The majority of parents think they are very good readers (75.6%) and the more skilled parents say they are at reading, the better their children's communication and language outcomes at age five."
NLT director Jonathan Douglas, said: " Technology is playing an increasingly crucial role in all our lives and the ways in which children are learning are changing fast. It is important that we keep abreast of these changes and their impact on children's education.
"When parents read with their children, whatever the medium, they increase their child's enjoyment of reading which brings life-long benefits. Both practitioners and parents have a vital role to play in supporting children to read from an early age whether they use books or a touch screen."
The YouGov online survey of 1,028 parents of three to five-year-olds took place in the spring while a separate poll questioned 362 early years workers between May and July last year.
Davina Ludlow, director of daynurseries.co.uk, said: " Our research shows public opinions on the supposed benefits of the use of ICT in nurseries are not in line with today's findings.
"In a recent poll carried out by daynurseries.co.uk, only one in four (26%) of the respondents thought children benefit from using ICT in nurseries.
"Our poll showed that the majority of people clearly want to see early education and childhood play protected from this technological change."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--The UCSB Gauchos will head down to UC Irvine's Anteater Stadium this weekend for the remainder of the Big West Conference Championships, May 11-12. Last year Long Beach State University won the men's division while the California State University-Northridge won the women's division. The Gauchos are looking in pretty good shape and hungrier than ever to reclaim their title.
All of the multi-event athletes who competed last weekened will return to the track to compete in several open events. Currently, UCSB has 20-points heading into Conference finals, Derek Masterson earning 10 for his first place win in the decathlon followed by Mikael Powers with 8 for his second place finish on the men's side and 10-points on the women's side for Barbara Nwaba's win in the heptathlon.
The men's 800m run will ceratainly be the event to look out for. All eyes are set on UCSB's Ryan Martin who claimed the 2011 Big West 800m Title after surpassing UC Irvine's Charles Jock in a head-to-head dual in the last 50 yards of the race. Martin clocked in a lifetime best time of 1:45.34 which was the second fastest time in the NCAA at the time.
UCSB's Junior Mitchell Haag will be looking to claim his second Big West Conference Title in the high jump where he cleared 6-9 last year. This year he has cleared a life-time best of 7-0 and has his eyes set on 7-2. Teammates Mike Larocca and Max Villalba are also top contendors in the high jump event and looking to sweep the podium.
The women will be lead by Barbara Nwaba who will be competing in several track and field events including the 100m hurdles, javelin and long jump events.
Justine Diaz who earned a Big West Title in the 800m at last year's Conference finals will be returning to make a statement after improving her lifetime best to 2:06.09 which breaks a 14-year-old UCSB 800m school record held by Sabrina Caplis in 1998.
The 3,000m steeplechase event will also be an event to watch. Last year Andrea Jacobs finished second with a time of 10:28.32 but since, has improved her time to 10:24.10 and second on the UCSB all-time 800m list.
Complete live results will be posted at www.flashwest.com

This article, entitled "New Study: Diet Beverages Can Help People Lose Weight," comes from Carolyn O'Neil at BestFoodFacts.org.
"If you want to consume diet sodas, it won't hurt, and it might actually help you lose weight," said Dr. James O. Hill of the Anschutz Health & Wellness Center at the University of Colorado.
Drinking diet beverages can help people lose weight. That's one of the conclusions in a study appearing in the June issue of the Journal of The Obesity Society.
The study divided 303 participants into groups that drank either water or diet beverages (sodas, teas, flavored waters) during a 12-week weight loss program. Subjects who drank diet beverages lost an average of 13 pounds – 44 percent more than the group drinking water. More than half the diet beverage group lost at least five percent of their body weight, which has been shown to significantly lower the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
In addition to the weight loss, the diet beverage group also:
- Felt less hungry
- Had greater improvements in levels of so-called "bad cholesterol"
- Experienced significant reductions in serum triglycerides
"What I found interesting is that the group drinking diet beverages said they felt less hungry. If that helped them be happier on a weight loss regimen, then perhaps it increased diet compliance and that's what did the trick in tipping the scales in the right direction," says registered dietitian Carolyn O'Neil, nutrition advisor for Best Food Facts.

The Pirate Bay Claims It's Going To Host The Site Via Drones Flying Over International Waters
from the the-pirate-ships-continue-to-go dept
Even so, the folks involved in TPB are still trying to go further. As highlighted on TorrentFreak, the latest plan from TPB is to see if it can serve the site from GPS-controlled drones flying over international waters:
One of the technical things we always optimize is where to put our front machines. They are the ones that re-direct your traffic to a secret location. We have now decided to try to build something extraordinary.Whether or not they can actually pull it off is a totally different question, but as we've been discussing recently, drone technology is getting cheaper, and the potential disruption of the Raspberry Pi should not be underestimated. While such things might not really be ready yet to do what TPB hopes to do, it's not difficult to project these trends out just a little ways to see that not only will it be possible in the not-too-distant future, but it would be a surprise if we didn't see setups that go way beyond what TPB is currently proposing before too long.
With the development of GPS controlled drones, far-reaching cheap radio equipment and tiny new computers like the Raspberry Pi, we're going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air. This way our machines will have to be shut down with aeroplanes in order to shut down the system. A real act of war.
We're just starting so we haven't figured everything out yet. But we can't limit ourselves to hosting things just on land anymore. These Low Orbit Server Stations (LOSS) are just the first attempt. With modern radio transmitters we can get over 100Mbps per node up to 50km away. For the proxy system we're building, that's more than enough.

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
Rep. Mario Scavello's (R-176) recent interview on local cable was a real hoot. Parroting long discredited neocon theories like the ideology of John Bolton and Dick Cheney, he railed against "wasteful" foreign aid grants. It was a dogmatic rant that bears little relation to reality. God forbid that he ever gets to mess up international relations as he has Pennsylvania politics.
Following Gov. Tom Corbett's mismanagement, Scavello supported voter suppression-schemes which would disenfranchise more than a million of the disabled, elderly and urban minorities. We should be trying to expand the franchise, not restrict it.
Similarly, with regard to education, from Head Start to state colleges and universities, we should be trying to improve our international standing from 17th in reading, 23rd in science and 31st in math.
Corbett, Scavello and Rep. Rosemary Brown (R-189) promote policies which are harmful to young people ages 5 to 21. By reducing funds to education, they have forced schools to cut programs, increase class sizes, fire teachers and even close schools.

Greetings From L.A., Where Natalie Off Duty Goes Glam
Hi everyone! I am Natalie Suarez. I am a model and fashion blogger. My blog is "Natalie Off Duty." I am based in Los Angeles, CA and have been blogging for over a year now!
I have been working as a model full-time for over 2 years and I feel extremely grateful for all my success in the industry. As a teen, all of my friends pushed me into becoming a model, so I simply walked into an agency, and was signed on the spot. Since then, I have launched my own fashion blog, Natalie Off Duty, showcasing my personal style.
As a model, I have really developed my own unique style for I now know what works on my body type. My personal style is a bit tomboy, but still feminine and pretty. Most of my wardrobe is vintage, only because I love standing out in unique pieces of clothing. I mix my vintage clothing with basic and classic pieces.�?I love playfully throwing pieces of my wardrobe together and stay true to the effortless look that I love.
As a model, my schedule is always all over the place. I am constantly on the go, whether it be to castings or photoshoots. Every morning, I'm always excited to face the day in a unique, stand-out outfit. One that makes me look and feel amazing.
As a blogger, I always make sure to bring my camera in my bag in case I come across something I want to take a picture of or if I want to get a few snapshots of my outfit while I am out and about. Besides my work as a model, I am very passionate about music. I have been singing my entire life. I also play the guitar and piano in my spare time.
Having the ability to be creative with both fashion and music is a dream. I have so much fun with it. Blogging has been an amazing way for me to share my experiences, travels, and inspirations with the world!

The Earthquake and Tsunami
The magnitude 8.9-9.0 Sendai earthquake was one of a handful of such powerful megathrust earthquakes to occur in recorded history. Its epicenter was 130 km (81mi) off the east coast of Miyagi Prefecture and it took place at a depth of 24.4 km (15.2 mi). The huge earthquake shook buildings on land while sending a 6.9-10 m (23-33 ft) tsunami toward the northeastern coast of Japan. It swept inland as far as 10 km (6 mi), causing immense destruction to the area, which can be see through satellite photos from the New York Times.
The waves excavated homes and factories and have dealt a second blow as two nuclear power plants were so heavily damaged by the earthquake that they may be in partial meltdown. More than 10,000 people are dead, hundreds of thousands are homeless, 4.4 million have been left without electricity and 1.4 million do not have water. If you would like to help, click here for a list of organizations that are assisting with the recovery efforts.
Nuclear Power
All current nuclear power plants are fission plants, involving the splitting of atomic nuclei. In most powerplants, this occurs when a neutron collides with a Uranium-235 (235U) nucleus and is absorbed by it. The 235U was relatively stable, but 236U is unstable and it will break into five pieces, a Krypton-92 (92Kr) nucleus, a Barium-141 (141Ba) nucleus, and three free neutrons. In a bar of Uranium, these free neutrons can collide with other Uranium atoms, which in turn give off more neutrons, and so on. This is what we call a chain reaction.
In addition to the neutrons, heat is given off as well side-reaction chains that generate a few electrons and some radiation. The heat is used to create steam, which drives a turbine that creates electricity. Electrons that escape the reactor core into a surrounding water tank can create a bluish glow, called Cherenkov Radiation, as they pass through water.
Despite the fact that an Uranium is a very heavy element, its nucleus is still rather small compared to the size of the atom itself (including the electron shells). That means that even a heavy rod of Uranium contains mostly empty space at the atomic level. As a result, the free neutrons do not necessarily hit the Uranium nuclei sitting right next door. They can rather travel a good distance through the material before the are absorbed by another nucleus. If the bar of Uranium is too small, then too many neutrons will escape before they can collide with other atoms and in that case, there will be very few nuclear reactions.
This can be remedied by putting a enough of fissile Uranium together to ensure that neutrons will be absorbed by the 235U, but one must be rather careful about it. If too much Uranium is placed together in a small, confined place, there could be a runaway reaction that releases a good deal of all of the energy that is stored in the atomic nuclei in a very short time (read: boom). This video gives a good demonstration of the chain reaction process.
Editor's note: I once put together a similar demonstration with 1,000 mousetraps. At one point, we reached 500 only to have a ping pong ball go off. Not good. I also remember being a bit gun shy around snapping sounds after that. My fingers were very sore at the end of the setup.
To avoid a runaway reaction, most nuclear power plants use a combination of Uranium and Carbon rods to moderate the reactions rate. The Carbon rods essentially absorb the neutrons before they can reach a Uranium atom. With fewer neutrons reaching the Uranium, the reaction rate slows. If higher rates are required, the power plant simply removes some of the carbon rods to increase the number of neutrons that generate new reactions.
The Fukushima-I (Daiichi) plant runs on a variant of this process, which incorporates Uranium and Plutonium Oxide fuels. The same general principles apply, though the specific isotopes involved in the reactions are somewhat different.
In any case, the heat generated by the reactor core is used to boil water. Each of the plants have variations on this theme, but the general idea is depicted here. Water can be heated to very high temperatures if it is kept under pressure, these plants carry superheated water into a seperate chamber to create steam. As the steam is generated, the formerly superheated water cools, and is recirculated to the reactor core. This has the effect of carrying heat away from the reactor core and regulating the reaction rate (which increases as it heats up, causing more heating). If the temperatures of the reactor were to rise to high, the Uranium rods could melt and create a molten puddle of Uranium at the bottom of the chamber. This is a meltdown and carbon rods would no longer be able to regulate the reactions if a meltdown were to take place. In a sense, there is no "off switch" for a nuclear reactor, especially one that has melted down.
Status of the Power Plants
The events in Japan are taking place quite rapidly, and from what I can see, no one is completely certain regarding whether the plants have melted down.
- Fukushima-I (Daiichi):
Three of six reactors (1,2 and 3) at Daiichi were operating and went into automatic shutdown prior to the tsunami. However, the emergency generators used to cool the plant stopped in unit 1 after the tsunami. Units 2 and 3 were still alright by this point. Temperatures began to rise and steam was vented to release pressure on the containment structure. A hydrogen explosion, caused by a buildup of the gas, occurred and damaged the exterior of the building, though the reactor core containment structure seems alright. Seawater was pumped in to cool the cores.
By March 13, reactor 3 began having trouble and venting was necessary. The core was not completely covered by water, and there may have been some damage to the core. Nearly 200,000 people were evacuated from the area, and 22 residents have shown signs of radiation sickness. On March 14, the Unit 3 building was destroyed by a hydrogen explosion.
- Fukushima-II (Daini):
All four units of this plant were shut down automatically, but Units 1,2 and 4 were damaged by the tsunami and an evacuation was ordered due to possible radioactive contamination. By March 12, the temperature of the reactors had reached 100oC. No pressure release has yet occurred, however. Residence have been evacuated to a distance of 20 km from the plant.
- Onagawa:
A fire began in the turbine section of the plant after the earthquake. On March 13, radiation levels reached 21μSv/hour, causing a state of emergency to be declared – the International Atomic Energy Agency's lowest emergency level. After a few minutes, the radiation levels dropped by half and have now returned to background levels.
Japanese authorities believe that the elevated radiation levels at Onagawa were due to the Fukushima I (some 60 km away) accident rather than from Onagawa itself. The radiation levels at Onagawa were not incredibly high, but their increase was cause for alarm. It is not known, however, how high a dose of radiation that the 22 people near Fukushima I had received. Only time will tell. 1,500 others are being tested for radiation exposure as a precaution.
So far, radiation levels are not expected to rise very much in Alaska and Hawaii.
Officials are saying that there is a 70% chance of a magnitude 7 aftershock by Monday. The situation is already a long way from being finished. A large earthquake could make things worse. At the moment, there are still reactors threatening to require venting. Venting is fairly safe, provided that the fuel rods are intact, however it seems there has been at least one partial meltdown. That means that vented gas may become more radioactive as time goes on. In addition, the sea water that is being used in desperation to keep the reactors cool will eventually corrode the metal containment chamber. The stakes are incredibly high – whether a significant fraction of the northern part of the densely populated country will be inhabitable.
Hopefully the earthquake will not arrive. The last thing anyone needs is another challenge at the moment. Good luck to everyone involved in bringing the reactors under control. Stay safe.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Following a tremendous sophomore campaign that saw him raise his scoring average by over four points per game, Will Tashman was selected to the All-Northeast Region team by D3Hoops.com. Tashman was tabbed to the Fourth Team All-Region after helping the Cardinal and Gray capture its second New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) title in three years and make its third straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
Tashman, who was named to the NEWMAC First Team All-Conference, led the league in rebounding (8.9 RPG) and was tops in field goal percentage in league play. The sophomore also finished sixth in scoring at 14.1 points per game. He ranks fourth in free throw percentage and is one of the best passing big men in the conference, averaging 2.69 assists per game. A tireless defender, Tashman helped solidify a defense that led the NEWMAC in rebounding margin was second in scoring defense.
The Engineers defeated WPI to win their second conference crown in the past three years and advance to the NCAA Division III Tournament for the third consecutive season. The Cardinal and Gray downed host Ithaca College, 82-78, in the NCAA First Round before falling to the University of Rochester, 60-52, in Round Two. Tech returns its top seven scorers next year, including Tashman and fellow All-Conference pick, Mitchell Kates. The Engineers will also welcome back Noel Hollingsworth and Jimmy Burke, key contributors from 2010, who missed most of this season with injury.

I couldn't wait for the scanlations so i spoiled myself and went on ahead to Vol 7 and above RAW. Wow the art has improved quite a lot in the later volumes. It's kind of how like Bleach started and it eventually improved drastically in Soul Society Arc.(Yay no more slanted eyes). This also one of those rare harem that I have seen where the main male character doesn't stay as a wimp forever and actually becomes more badass himself. I got up to the priest guy part and there are some cool fights going on. I definitely hope that Ganzo can pull it off, animation-wise(But other part of me is telling me the chance of that is slim =_=).

Average episode. Decent adaption of the manga's beginning, but that's about it. I do think the transformation scene was slightly overdone though. Along with the extra dose of fanservice.
The background art for the early parts of the episode were quite well done imo, just before they meet. It was pretty simple, but the colors, lighting and everything seemed to merge well for the atmosphere. Too bad the first episode didn't leave much of an impression on its bgm. It sounded really uninspired, even as far as classical horror remix tunes go.

By Travis Betts
As the community around Newtown, CT continues to grieve and heal following last week's Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers are doing what they can to honor the victims.
Beginning with Saturday's game against the Adirondack Phantoms, the players swapped the name plates on the backs of their black alternate jerseys for ones bearing names of the 20 children whose lives were lost a week earlier.
For Sound Tigers captain and Wethersfield, CT, native Colin McDonald, the events of last Friday hit close to home.
"It's an unspeakable tragedy," McDonald, who represented seven-year-old Grace McDonnell, said. "You never think this would happen to us, but sure enough it did. I think everyone's having a tough time with it. Especially with it being so close to the holidays, it's just very, very tough. There's so much that the team, my family and I want to do, but what can you do?"
Newtown residents were invited to attend Saturday's game free of charge, as well as the upcoming games on Dec. 26 and Dec. 29. One of the fans that took advantage was a father of two Sandy Hook Elementary alumni. Both his fifth-grade son and seventh-grade daughter attended the K-4 school.
"Unfortunately we knew a lot of the staff and a lot of the children there," the dad, who chose to omit his name out of respect for the victims, said. "My son and daughter both had these kids' older siblings in their classes. You get to know the parents from class activities, youth baseball teams and soccer teams. It's devastating. We were very close with one of the families and we went to the funeral and wake and visited them at their house right after it happened, because they didn't want to be alone."
The Sound Tigers pre-game ceremony included a video of Sound Tigers players Matt Watkins, Ty Wishart, Jon Landry and McDonald, with the central theme, "We remember." The video was followed by a moment of silence for the 20 children and six faculty members lost in the shooting. In-ice logos behind each goal read, "S.H.E.S. 12.14.12," while the names of the six adult victims were rotated on the center-hung scoreboard throughout the game.
"Obviously the whole evening was very emotional," Sound Tigers Head Coach Scott Pellerin said. "It was a way of us doing a little something to support the families and the city of Newtown. It was tough. The players did a great job representing the community and playing hard for them."
Defenseman Matt Donovan said that everything hit home when the players walked into the dressing room before the game and saw the new names on the backs of their jerseys.
"I think everyone had some strong emotions at that moment," Donovan, who represented six-year-old Caroline Previdi, said. "We all realized what it meant to wear their names. It's one of those things that we wanted to do because they are a part of our community and we want to help those families get through this rough time."
The Sound Tigers players will continue to wear the new name plates for the next six games at Webster Bank Arena until Jan. 20, when members or representatives of each victim's family will be invited to take home their jerseys off the players' backs following a game against the Springfield Falcons.
Donovan thought ahead to what that moment might feel like for each player.
"Emotional," Donovan said. "Everything they've gone through, seeing them is going to be very special for us. We'll never forget these kids."

The Olympic athletes were paraded through downtown Bemidji in a horse drawn wagon. Hundreds of fans showed their appreciation by waving hammer hankies, American flags or curling brooms.
The City of Bemidji has proclaimed itself the "Curling Capital of the United States." That may very well be true. Half of the 10 members of the U.S. Olympic curling team call Bemidji home.
Curling fan Cathy Johnson of Bemidji says exposure from the winter Olympic games has brought lots of attention to the city and the sport.
"I think it's incredible," Johnson said. "It puts us on the map. It puts curling on the map. And I think we're extremely proud of the behavior of our men's and women's teams over there. I think their sportsmanship came through loud and clear. It's more than Minnesota nice. I'm just so proud of them, all of them."
The women's team was knocked out of final curling competition in Turin, Italy. But the men's team brought home a bronze medal. Pete Fenson, who leads the men's team, says the team has received hundreds of emails from fans across the country. Fenson says he's heard from people interested in learning how they can start curling leagues in their own communities.
"Part of our goal was to make a positive impact on the country and the world and hopefully it would help the game grow," Fenson said. "And it sound like that's what's starting to happen, and hopefully it will continue."
Bemidji's most famous resident, the towering lakefront statue of Paul Bunyan, is decked out in a Bunyan-sized curling broom. Students at Bemidji State University designed a bronze medal replica that hangs around Bunyan's neck.
Bemidji Mayor Richard Lehmann says the attention the athletes are getting is well deserved: "Oh, how can you think anything but good things about this. This is wonderful. It's a great day to be in Bemidji."
Lehmann says he expects the renewed attention to curling will translate into more visitors to Bemidji. He says there's talk of putting up a billboard letting tourists know they've arrived at the curling capital.
"We're already a tourist attraction, and now that we can show the world that even Paul Bunyan is a curler, with his tam and his bronze medal and the rock and the broom, I mean, man, I'll tell you what, everybody is a curler in Bemidji," he said.
U.S. women's team leader Cassie Johnson says when she was competing in Italy, she'd heard that curling fever had hit her home town. Signing autographs in the Bemidji Visitors Center, Johnson says the U.S. curlers were surprised at the level of support back home.
"We want to kind of get curling out there," Johnson said. "But I think the support that's been shown has really surprised us. The whole town of Bemidji seems to have signs up for us, even when we were gone. I've got pictures of all the signs that have gone up around town. It's really great to see."
After the Olympics, Cassie Johnson took a break from curling and did some traveling in Europe. The U.S. men's team, meanwhile, has yet to take a break. This weekend, Pete Fenson's Team USA captured the top spot in the 2006 World Curling Team Trials. The Bemidji team will now represent the United States in the World Curling Championships next month in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Credit Repair Masters
A simple yet creative logo for the business offering of Credit Repair. His site is in development, and the logo is step 1. The site design is likely to lean towards web 2.0 in its texture, like two competitive sites the customer likes: - http://www.lexingtonlaw.com and
- http://www.ovationcredit.comHis site will have similar, though simpler offerings.The site is to have both a professional, experienced legal appeal and a personal connection / invitation feel. The design is not yet complete. Color scheme is to have a rich blue / blue gradient background, with other shades of blue in the site elements, and gold (possibly green or yellow) accents. Logo should be designed to display on both Blue and White backgrounds if possible.Planned web display space within the design is approx 240-270px by 70-90px.
- .ai/.eps preferred, .psd at least
- Would be nice to see it stand-alone, and with the tagline: "Fast, Safe, Professional Credit Repair"
- Iconic element as anchor and/or stand alone aspect
- Prefer san serif fonts over serifs, most of the time. --UPDATE: See long comment posted Nov 8, 2008 with examples of serif font logos customer likes.
- Perception of brand: Expertise > professionalism > integrity
- logo should work if it's small + black/white (i.e. avoid gradations, thin fonts, intricate mark detail)
- 2 colors preferred (so as not to have to print full-color) --UPDATE: See brief comment posted Nov 8, 2008 referring to willingness to have more colors and web 2.0 half-tones, etc.
- Cartoon like imagery
- Iconic elements welcome and desired, but prefer no overly common logo elements (swoosh curves, jumping human figures, legal scales, etc.)
- prefer no vertically-oriented logos, unless there's a horizontal variation with it. --UPDATE: Open to vertical presentations, as well. See example links in contest comment posted Nov 8, 2008 referring to logos customer likes that have vertical presentation (and can, in most cases, also render well in horizontal presentation).

I don't drink - I hope that won't be a hindrance to meeting new people - so I guess you could say I won't be partying much. I'll be eating mostly at street cafes and most of my travelling will be within Bogota.

Drinking is a huge part of the culture, and that might make things tricky in terms of meeting people, but you can always go along and drink soft drinks. You will struggle to find a shared room for less than a 6 month contract, unless it's somewhere geared towards language students (which will cost you more). Also, you may not get an en-suite room. A one bathroom per bedroom arrangement is not that common in normal residential accommodation.

A minority of those renting a room will want a contract and a 6 or 12 month minimum, but you wouldn't want to rent from that kind of person anyway.

Just wanted to say how amazing my Buggyfit trainer is. My second daughter was born in September and we started attending classes after the autumn half term. Since Christmas my oldest has been coming along too (2 years in Jan) She loves watching, learning and now performs amazing lunges and squats!
Sarah is friendly and welcoming with contagious enthusiasm. She is very easy to chat with and very encouraging. With some careful eating and a regular weekly class I have lost all of my baby weight, I look like myself again! I am so, so pleased Sarah started the class on a Monday at Rushcliffe Country Park.
Rebecca Pugh – Buggyfit Mum Leicester
I love the classes - great exercises, knowledgeable trainer, lots of friendly people and a great atmosphere! When you are a full-time mummy these classes are a life saver as you can get your exercise even with your baby in tow, with added bonus of having fun and making new friends!
Madelene Ackheim-Evans- St Albans
I first started to attend Buggyfit after the birth of my son in 2010. I've returned again recently, after the birth of my second child.
As a teacher, I know how tricky it can be to individualise lessons to meet everyone's (and the weather's) needs and Emma does this with ease.
Beth – Altrincham Class
Jessica is a perfect trainer. I couldn't praise her more highly. She is very knowledgeable and inspiring. The class content is great and delivered in a fun way.
Samantha Kelly - Brighton & Hove
Claire was a great instructor. It was nice to meet other mums as well as getting fit. It was great when I had my first child because she never slept- except when she moved. And, Claire sure got us moving! I made some really cool friends as well.

11 year old lab with issues... help!
I have an 11 year old lab retreiver and she is so sick! She was diagnosed with Arthritis 6 months ago and we have her on medication for that, at that time they also put her on urinary incontinence medicine cause she was frequenly urinating in the house and she never did that before. Well just about a week ago we took out Bella to the vet because a mammary tumor she has had for 3 years (started off the size of a blueberry) had grown rapidly to the size of a large grapefruit and she started having fecal incontinance. The dr recommended xrays to see if it spread to the lymph nodes but we have no money. I dont start my new job for a week, my fiance is making barely enough to pay the bills. Anyway the Dr said IF the xrays show it hasnt spread they can remove it but it was gonna cost like 800$$ but every day that it gets bigger the more it will cost. She also said that if it ruptures (which we have a feeling is going to happen because of all her ailements) we will have to euthanise her.
She still has SOME energy.. but her temperment has changed. She tried to attack some dogs at the dog park, she is constantly postureing and picking fights with our chihuahua.. and i dont know what to do. We are pregnant with our first child and IDK what to do. We cant keep her outside because its too cold (highs of 50degrees) Also I have a REAL problem with her urinary and fecal incontinance.. Its disgusting, unsanitary and even with the medication she is on it happens all the time. We have tried putting potty training pads all around her but she wont use them.
I dont know what to do. My fiance has had this dog since she was 6 weeks old and literally lets her do whatever she wants. She has no boundries and whenever I try to do any kind of training or tell her "No Bella" he tells me to leave her alone because she is dying. Or anything she does thats bad (and alot of the time the bad things she does seem behavioral" he says the same thing, she is dying let her do what she wants.
I need advice please! I love the dog, but I cant deal with all the ailements and be pregnant. I cant live in constant filth and no matter how hard I clean it up it still wreaks.
please please help im desperate
Sorry that you're going through this . Sounds like Bella might be in some pain. Have you talked to the vet about her aggressive behaviour? That can be a sign of pain. Perhaps the kindest thing to do for her, if further treatment isn't an option, would be to lovingly assist her passage out of this life. Here's a really good Quality of Life Scale that you and your partner need to read:
All the best to you during this difficult time.
"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." ~ Chinese Proverb
We must not refuse to see with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies. ~ Gretchen Wyler
Yea I told the vet but my fiance says that its not true, or that the other dogs provoke her. I know she is in pain, we have her on tons of medications.. the tumor is huge though, and every day it gets bigger the more aggresive she gets. She also just stand and stares at me... which she's never done before and it scares me.
Thank you for coming here looking for advice. I think you know what needs to be done. Having said that please have your husband read the quality of life scale. Its so terribly hard to make these choices. My heart goes out to both of you and I pray Bella finds peace.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
Try putting a diaper on her - to keep her and your house clean without much stress.
I will have him read the scale.. I honestly feel like he is resistant to euthenasia because he feels like he would be murdering her. [not his words exactly his were im not gonna kill my dog]
I suggested diapers but he said absolutely not.. she is a dog and he doesnt want to change ****ty dog diapers and it would be embarassing for her.
Thank you for the advice, I love this dog but it's so sad to see all of this happening. She used to be the best dog in the world but now she just scares me. i hope he comes up with something after reading the quality of life scale
11 year old
I can see your frustration and sadness in having to watch this dear old dog deteriorate both physically and mentally and I think your boyfriend owes her more than what he's offering. For 11 yrs. she has been a wonderful, loving pet to him but when she needs him most he's not doing whats best for her. Prolonging her life while she's clearly suffering is selfish on his part and he needs to step up to the plate and put her well-being first and have her humanely put to sleep with whatever dognity she still has, not to prolong the enevitable and leave her to suffer.
I really think your fiance should get his priorities in order. You should be #1 in his life now, and his soon-to-be-born child. Does he think it would be OK if the dog attacked you and hurt you? just because the dog is old, in pain and thinks she should do what she wants? The staring doesn't sound good at all especially with Bella's increasing aggressiveness. Apart from living in filth as you describe is not something you should have to be subjected to, especially if you have to clean it up. It is obvious that this poor dog is suffering with pain with this large tumour and it's making her feel cranky. Your fiance is being cruel in allowing her to go on in this state. I agree with the others that it is time (past the time!) to have her euthanized and let her go before something worse happens.
"We humans are indeed fortunate if we happen to be chosen to be owned by a cat." -- Anonymous
I agree with catlover2. As much as your fiance may love his dog, I am sure he would regret having anything happen to you. Maybe approach him that way.
Your dog has obviously lived a good life, living up to 11 years, but from what you are saying he is now suffering. Its not fair to the dog or you and your fiance.
I know it wont be easy, so I send my wishes to you
since you dog is old and in pain with changes in her behavior it is very likely her physics ailments are impacting negatively on her overall life. It is very likely that she has more internal issues then you know of. 11 is old for a lab, they don't usually live far past 12 so with limited money even finding out the full extent of her issues would likely leave you with little recourse for treatment and would likely have little effect on overall quality or longevity of her life, she is not a young dog.
You need to sit down and have a serious discussing on how long you can maintain her health and behavior without doing treatments, it sounds like she is getting near the point where she might die or need to be put to sleep to prevent further suffering.
Wennibear,have your husband read all the posts,most of us here have had to make the terrible decision to help our animals end a life of suffering.
You do it out of love and compassion for someone who has given you love and loyalty for many years.
Letting her go on suffering and probably die a painful death,is IMO animal-cruelty.
This is the last act of kindness your husband can do for his dog,the poor old soul.
"The cruelest animal is the Human animal"
3 kitties,Rocky(r.i.p my boy),Chico,Vinnie
I have to agree with Chico2 on this. We are all animal loving people here and would never ever suggest anything of the sorts unless there was no other option.
We have supported one another here on this forum when we had difficult decisions to make. It has not been easy and it is very painful, but as animal loving people consisting of rescues, shelter workers, volunteers, animal welfare activists, volunteers and regular animal loving people, we truly stand by quality of life.
Best to you all. I wish you strength.
Please note: Labs have a very high pain threshold, you cannot tell if they are hurting but there are signs such as significant behaviour problems that start to develop that are completely out of the ordinary.
Also,remember dogs can't talk or cry.They don't show physical pain like a human. They don't have the luxury of sharing their pain with anyone.When I am not sure what to do when I am experiencing a pet dilemma I remind myself that having a pet is a big responsibility and it is my duty to do what is right for the dog. I sympathize with your lack of fundage issues right now-I also am dealing with a lack in that area and I have to take my own dog in tonight. I know I would have a hard time not feeling like crap if I did nothing and just allowed her to suffer while I dithered around trying to figure out what to do. Best of luck and know all these kind souls here fully empathize.

Platycodon, (blue), evening primrose (yellow), foxglove (tall pink) evergreens are boxwoods.ReplyDelete
Enjoy both of your blogs. I found you through Reggie Darling.
What a lovely garden. I love perennials best, I think, for it's like old friends coming back and visiting year after year. Get yourself a good reference book with pictures that shows both common and latin names -- you've taken pictures so you can sit and look until you find the flower -- computers make it a lot easier than in the old days when you had to drag the book around!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your garden -- it IS lovely!
What a nice house you have moved to. How fortunate you are to have such lovely gardens, and how fortunate such gardens are to have you and your daughter to take care of them. Delightful tour, m'dear! ReggieReplyDelete

Yes, I am indeed very lucky. Now I have a new hobby (as if I needed another!)
And the painting of the front door had a happy resolution, too, I see. Best wishes!ReplyDelete
yes, one called compromise!

all that gardenia--I would be in heaven, yes, you are so lucky. And so funny, I love how you don't know the names of plants. As for myself, I couldn't grown a plant if I had too--just no green thumb at all. Give me fresh cuts.ReplyDelete
Well, hopefully, we will have some "fresh cuts" from the wild flower "garden"!
You remind me that we gardeners should keep a book with listings of our plantings to pass on to the next gardener. I tease my husband that it may be his job to keep up my jungle if I die first. It terrifies him!ReplyDelete
I'm a woody plant girl myself, but Allan Armitage (at the U of Georgia BTW) has written wonderful books on perennials. Enjoy your beautiful garden.
The idea of a garden book is a good one. I am going to start one with drawings of what is what where. Thanks!
yes, the yellow is Evening Primrose (Oenothera) and one of my favorites! I brought some down from up North and it's thriving here...spreading all over.ReplyDelete
Gardenias: ah yes, I am in heaven to finally be able to grow them.
As you well know, I spend a lot of time gardening! But, aside from being time consuming, it gets SO expensive... I am forever buying something new I've read about, or someone has suggested.
So now I will HAVE to come down and see the garden in person, right??

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Golden Eagle sophomores Darian Stone and Zach Sharp have each been recognized with Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week honors for their crucial roles in Tennessee Tech's 45-44 overtime victory Saturday over No. 23 UT Martin.
Stone was named the OVC Offensive Player of the Week while Sharp earned Special Teams Player of the Week after the Golden Eagles stunned the Skyhawks in overtime in Tucker Stadium.
Stone tied a school record for most rushing yards by a quarterback when he galloped for 190 yards on 27 carries. He also passed for 277 yards and three touchdowns, accounting for 466 yards of total offense, the second-most in school history behind Tre Lamb's 474-yard game earlier this year.
Stone's passing attack included a 79-yard bomb to Ryan Tilghman that completed a fourth-quarter comeback from a 31-17 deficit in which he guided the Golden Eagles on scoring drives of 80, 79 and 80 yards. The TD pass to Tilghman lifted Tech to a 38-31 lead with 1:10 remaining. He also hit Cody Matthews twice for 20-yard touchdowns.
It was just the third start of Stone's career as he rushed for more than 100 yards for the second consecutive game. Stone has rushed for 395 yards in his three games as a starter, an average of 132 yards per game.
He helped Tech account for 575 yards of total offense, the most by a Golden Eagle team in Watson Brown's six seasons at the helm.
Sharp, meanwhile, was perfect in the game, kicking a 39-yard field goal and making all six of his PAT kicks, including an overtime point that proved to be the winning margin. Sharp accounted for nine points.
Two other OVC weekly honors went toplayers from UT Martin and Jacksonville State. The Defensive Player of the Week was Rashad Smith of JSU, while UT Martin receiver Jeremy Butler was voted the OVC Newcomer of the Week.

Hm, doesn't sound like my kind of show cause I kind of like the things that you consider "wrong".
Even though I watched and enjoyed "His and Hers" and enjoyed it, and it sounds like Narue no Sekai is pretty much like it, I don't think I'd like this. Thanks for the advice anyway. I might check it out if I run out of animes to watch

I don't consider them wrong, I'm just fed up with the usual crap that harem shows throw at me. But since you don't seem to have watched that much anime you're probably not bored of it yet. I'm on nearly 250 complete series, and after a while the harem formula really gets tiring. Narue no Sekai is a really nice change from that.
Don't get me wrong though, it stands on it's own merits completely as well. But if you want a nice romance anime (which you said you do) then you should check it out. Incidentally, Narue herself is an alien, so there are quite a lot of sci-fi influences too.
Well whatever, I loved it to bits and frankly it's your loss if you don't bother watching it.

I might try that one (never heard of it before). I'm not necessarily impressed with something just because it's different. OTOH, after a while it gets difficult to discover series that I've never heard of, so that's impressive on it's own.

250 series?! Wow, that's alot. I've watched quite alot of animes, but not nearly as much as you. I guess it's the age difference
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I won't be bored with the "harem style" for quite a while. I probably will sometime, though. (On my grave I will! Hahahh.. ha... hah.... Eh? What are you looking at?)

rooboy - yeah I hadn't heard of it either. Can't actually remember exactly how I found it now, but it was something completely random, I know that (might have been a random picture I found online I think).
Toxic - yeah I've seen a fair amount That's over the last few years, but mostly in the last year and a half or so.

I'm not sure if it's as many as you think it is .... I own well over 125 anime dvds (not series on dvd, but dvds), and that's a small fraction of the anime I've seen, either rented, on TV, or fansubbed.
Though I've never really gotten tired of harem cliches either, but on the other hand, when I don't want to watch harem series, I just watch something else entirely. I've always tried to watch things in moderation.

Well I still watch harem shows and find enjoyment in them of course, but Narue was just a real gem for me, I enjoyed it immensely simply because it didn't do some of the incredibly annoying things that harem shows often do. I won't go into detail as it's better to watch it
One thing though, you'll probably understand why I like Kazu-chan (main male lead) so much when you see the last episode (and the rest of course, but the last episode really is what sealed it for me).
Meh, I'm going to stop rambling now. Suffice to say I loved the show

I think someone mentioned Fate/Stay Night, I supposed since you watched shakugan no shana you would like it too but it's a bit more drama and action focused.
For good storylines, Air or any other key work would be pretty good they're half drama/half romance bit more of the drama side. Also try KGNE if you like that genre
Da capo and it second season if you just want something light hearted to watch (its a harem anime).
and if you watch fate/stay night and like it you might also consider tsukihime, less comedy and kinda darker mood compared to f/sn though.

thats a shame i seem to have a thing for stuff like that, i think its more of how the male protagonists actually turn out to be decent non perverted types. i like seeing stuff like that. Although it doesnt have to be exactly like that, i just started Girls Bravo, and i love it

I'm actually watching that now as well. Not bad generally, though the violence is a bit OTT. And there seems to be something about the name Miharu and bananas; Miharu in Da Capo has a banana fetish as well.

but around halfway through the fights get shortened and it becomes totally about character development and ,Saber and Shirou's relationship.
it definitely won't dissapoint
Fate Stay Night has hardly any comedy though
the only (small amount of) comedy is from
Taiga, Ilya and Saber

* Breastmilk is a natural, renewable resource which is intended to be fed to babies. Artificial milks are processed, non-renewable substitutes for this resource.
* There is no waste from breastmilk as it is produced according to baby's demands.
* Breastmilk is tailored to the baby's needs and so breastfed babies tend to defaecate less and often need fewer nappies.
* Breastmilk production does not pollute anything and can even remove the need for sanitary protection.
* Breastmilk is free, requires no extra packaging, is ready to use, does not have to be shipped across the world (but easily transported!) protects against infection and does not need a huge amount of promotional materials produced to sell baby milks.
* Breastmilk is completely environmentally safe, not to use it is a waste of a valuable resource.
Food for thought…
If every baby in the USA is bottle-fed, almost 86 000 tonnes of tin plate are used up in the required 550 million discarded baby milk tins. If these tins have paper labels around another 1230 tonnes of paper are added to the glossy paper used to promote the product. Whilst some of the tins may be reused, the majority of the metal and paper is simply thrown away and rarely recycled. Baby milks are now being sold in ready-to-use cartons which are made from a mixture of materials and are impossible to recycle.
If every mother in the UK breastfed her baby, 3000 tonnes of paper alone would be saved every year on sanitary protection products. The toll on the environment due to pulping, bleaching and other chemical processes, cotton and pesticides applied to these products, rayon and the dioxins produced during their manufacture must be added to this, as must the damage caused by packaging, transport and disposal.
