One of the most important German thinkers, Jacob Böhme (1575–1624) made an impact on literature, philosophy, religion and art well beyond national borders. 100 years after the beginning of the Reformation – on the eve of the Thirty Years' War – Böhme wanted to give voice to the need for a far-reaching philosophical and spiritual renewal. A self-educated man, Böhme was active in diverse disciplines and posed questions that are still remarkably relevant. He took clear stands against war and violence. Living in an age in which new scientific knowledge shook the traditional world-view, Böhme sought after a universal theory to bring religion and science into harmony with one another. With his first work, "Aurora," of 1612, Böhme met with sharp criticism from the church. Despite having been forbidden to write, he later resumed writing and his followers and friends circulated copies of his numerous texts. Only one of his writings was published during his lifetime.
In the exhibit ALL IN ALL, the restored Palace Chapel of the Dresden Royal Palace will be used as a museum space for the first time. While selected graphics, paintings, instruments and handcrafted objects represent the context of the time around 1600, works by artists such as Philipp Otto Runge, William Blake, Hans Arp, Wassily Kandinsky and Johannes Itten reflect the continuing fascination of Böhme's writings. In the basement floor of the Palace Chapel, the film "Morgenröte im Aufgang – Hommage à Jacob Böhme" by Max Hopp, Jan Korthäuer, Ronald Steckel and Klaus Weingarten will be shown.
Beginning with Böhme's manuscript of the "Aurora" up through the so-called Law-Edition (1764–1781) with its "pop-up" illustrations, the exhibited writings trace the publishing history of his works. The idea for the exhibit's architecture comes from Böhme himself: the sketch of his "Philosophical Sphere," which he used to explain the interaction of opposites as a central theme in his thought. In this way, the Palace Chapel will be transformed for a limited time into a walkable construct of ideas in which the conceptual world of the mystical philosopher is visually comprehensible.

This session is to help you learn to identify bright stars and constellations in the night sky. These resources may be useful in the lab, or for later study.
Free star chart for anywhere at any time
Tonight's sky including artificial satellites
For your laptop, home computer, cell phone, or tablet there are many choices.
Beautiful Stellarium is free planetarium software for Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems. It is also available as a paid application for Android handheld devices.
The free Google Sky Map for Android works well, and makes use of Android device's navigation to interact with your real sky.
iTunes also offers a Sky Map for iPhone and iPad for a fee.
If want to pursue this and learn the night sky well, old technology works great. Consider getting a planisphere star finder, a rotating map of the sky that will show you how it appears on any date and time.
This lab will use Stellarium to help you learn to identify some of the prominent constellations and bright stars. If you have a Planisphere or one of the other applications on your handheld device or laptop, use it too.
First, there are a few things you need to know about using Stellarium. You might look at the Stellarium Tour on their website for an overview and reference to these options:
Screen mode
Stellarium starts in full screen mode and will cover everything. You can change this by pressing the F11 key to fit it into a smaller window.
Menu bars
There are two bars of menus, one at the bottom of the screen, and one on the left. They are hidden until you run the mouse down to the bottom or over to the left.
When you or done, you can use the bottom menu bar to exit by selecting the off button.
Setting your location
By default you will be in Paris, France. If you press F6 the location menu will pop up and you can select your city or put in longitude and latitude. Once you have done this and saved the configuration, Stellarium will come up at your chosen site. The location menu is also in the left menubar under the compass icon at the top left. When you have selected your location the menu will show a map of Earth with an arrow pointing to your site.
Setting the time
Stellarium starts with the sky over your site at this very moment. The date and time will show at the lower right, based on the computer's clock. This time is the local time at your computer. If you change your location, the time shown will still be the time at your computer, not the time at the new site. For example, if you are in Baltimore, Maryland and you set up Stellarium for that site, then the computer is in the Eastern U.S. time zone. When you run Stellarium at 3 PM it will show the afternoon daytime sky with the Sun. Should you use the location menu to change to Rome, Italy, the sky will go dark because it's nighttime there. The clock will still show 3 PM because that's the time where you are. You can change the date and time in two ways. One is with the time menu selected from the left menu bar Clock icon. The other is with the two arrow icons at the right of the bottom menu bar. These speed forward-reverse, real time rate, and now buttons let you speed up the daily motions of the sky, and then slow them down again when you have the events in view you want to see.
Looking around
Change the direction you are looking by holding down the left mouse button and dragging your direction of view, or by using the updown leftright arrow keys on the keyboard.
Identifying planets, stars, and constellations
The lower menu offers options to add labels. By default the planets will be named, and you can turn this off using the Planets labels icon that looks like Saturn. You can outline the bright stars of the constellations, add constellation names, and even overlay mythological figures to help you see the patterns by clicking on the various buttons in this menu. There are two celestial grids offered too that show the equatorial celestial coordinates of stars (right ascension and declination), and the local sky coordinates (altitude and azimuth). A menu on the left for
Sky and viewing options
allows you to change the constellations, names and associated cultural folklore. Click that option, select
Starlore and Western
to see the the typical sky labels of American and European culture, or change to one of the others offered to see the diversity of named patterns in the sky. The same menu under
lets you select whether you would also like to see the constellation boundaries as red dotted lines. Sometimes it's helpful to see these in order to identify the constellation in which a particular object is located.
Identifying an object
Move the mouse over the object and click with the left button to have its identification displayed. Click with the right button to make this go away. Click with the center button (press down on the mouse wheel) to have the display center on this object after you have selected it.
Zooming in and out
The Page Up and Page Down keys on the keyboard zoom in and out of the sky. You can move around the zoomed in sky with the arrow keys or dragging with the left mouse button. The status display at the bottom of the view tells you the field of view
in degrees among other things. For some objects there is a photo that appears when the sky view is zoomed in close. When an object is selected and centered in the view, after zooming in the view will stay centered on it even as the day progresses. Think of it as a telescope that is pointing at your target, and tracking the target as the Earth rotates.
Finding Planets
The Moon and planets will be labeled by default. You can turn these names off with the P or by clicking on the Planet icon on the lower menu bar. If you select a planet with a left mouse click, the sky view will lockto that planet and you can follow it during the night. Planets with satellites like Jupiter will show the satellites as they really would appear in a telescope, and in motion in their orbits around the planet.
You can find a planet or other objects by using the
Search window
The left menu has a Magnifying glass icon that brings up this option. So does F3.
Stellarium starts with the sky as it is now, and you may run the clock forward or set the time for about an hour after sunset to see the night sky for the current season. In this lab study we will go through the seasons in sequence for the northern and the southern hemisphere, and help you find your way around the sky. The goal is to learn a few bright stars and constellations, seen from any place on Earth, and at any time of year.
It's daunting task, and the patterns will at first seem confusing. We'll help you find the brightest stars, and some recognizable patterns. The key to learning this skill is to become accustomed to the patterns so that your mind's eye will recognize them, even in a sky filled with stars you do not know.At the bottom of this unit there is are lists of constellations and bright stars that are the most among the most recognizable for each each in both southern and northern hemispheres.
In another lab experiment we will focus on the sky tonight, and on the planets. This one is more general and explores the stars and constellations seen from different locations on Earth. You should set Stellarium to see the sky tonight in your own locatin to begin with, and we will advise on changing this as we go along.
Winter begins in late December for the northern hemisphere, or late June for the southern hemisphere. You can consult the list of stars and constellations at the bottom of this unit to see what should be visible then. Let's set set the time to 7 P.M. on January 15, when the sky is dark and stars are clear and bright. If you are in the northern hemisphere make sure your location is set properly, turn your attention toward the southeast and look for the brightest stars. (If you are in the southern hemisphere, for the following pick a favorite spot a little north of the equator so that you can see stars you are familiar with, as well as the stars of the northern sky.)
Sirius, the brightest star in the sky will be rising at this time. Left click on it and you'll see information about it displayed:
Sirius is its common name. Alpha Canis Majoris means that it is the brightest star in Canis Major, the big dog. HIP 32349 means that it is the 32,349th star of the Hipparcos catalog.
That's how bright it is on the astronomer's scale. Smaller numbers are brightest, larger ones fainter. Magnitude 6.0 is about as a faint a star as you can see without a telescope.
The magnitude scale is logarithmic, and a difference of 5 on this scale corresponds to a factor of 100x in energy received each second from the star. The B-V is a measure of color, and the 0.0 for Sirius means that it looks white to the eye. A positive number is red, and a negative number is blue.
Sirius is 8.6 light years from the Sun. The light you see in the sky from Sirius tonight left it 8.6 years ago, when you were 8.6 years younger. Light leaving the star today will arrive in 8.6 years when you are 8.6 years older.
Find these other stars: Procyon, Rigel, Betelgeuse and Aldebaran. For each one, identify what constellation is it in, and how bright it is.
1. What constellation are Rigel and Betelgeuse in?
2. What colors are these two stars?
Let time go by and watch the stars move across the sky.
3. Which of the stars Sirius, Procyon, Rigel, or Belegeuse is the one that gets highest in your sky during the night?
Notice the pattern of bright stars. These are the one's you'll see first in an urban sky.
Advance the date to March 5 and set the time again to about 2 hours after sunset.
4. Where are Sirius, Procyon, Rigel, Betelgeuse and Aldebaran in the sky now, compared to where they were at the same time in January?
Advance the date again to June 15 and now you'll see Deneb, Vega, and Altair rising in the east. Arcturus will be nearly overhead if you are in a northern latitude. During the night the stars will move across the sky
5. About what time on June 15 will Vega be overhead?
6. What is the name of another bright star in the same constellation that Deneb is in?
7. Which one of these stars, Arcturus, Deneb, Vega, or Altair, is orange? That is, which one is a cool star of type K or M?
Go forward again to the fall, and set the date to September 15. Look directly overhead if you are at northern latitude. If you are elsewhere, to answer this question set your location to a northern latitude of around 40 degrees. Three of the stars that you have identified form a distinctive pattern overhead called the Summer Triangle.
8. What are the three stars that define the "Summer Triangle" that is overhead in northern latitudes in late summer?
Turn off the equatorial grid if you still have it on, and turn on the constellation names and outlines (use the lower menu or press C and V). Let's find some of the easily identified constellations in the northern sky for each season.
9. Where is Pegasus, the horse, at this time?
Stellarium lets you look at fainter stars, clusters of stars, nebulae, and galaxies too. See if you can find Messier 15 (M15) in Pegasus. It is a globular star cluster about 12 billion years old containing more than 100,000 stars. M15 is about 33,000 light years away, much farther than the nearby stars that define the constellations in the night sky.
10. There is a bright star in Pegasus quite close to M15 in the sky (but not in space). What is the name of that star, and how far from us is it? (Hint: Right click to get information on an object. This star is slightly red.)
The following is a guided tour of the sky from the southern hemisphere to see how the sky would change if we moved our point of view to a southern latitude. From the north pole of the Earth you can see only the half of the sky that is north of the Earth's equator. Your horizon is the celestial equator. More of the southern sky becomes visible as you move southward. From the Earth's equator, the north pole of the sky is on the northern horizon and the south pole is on the southern horizon. Over 24 hours the entire sky will pass into and out of view.
Imagine now going south from your current location. The farther south you go, the more of the southern sky will be overhead. Let's illustrate this.
Set the date for January 15 at 10 PM by using the date and time menu "F5". Direct your view to the south and bring up the location menu with "F6". Use the map of Earth and click on a location that's south of yours, looking for a place that is at the same latitude and about 30 to 40 degrees below the equator. The sky will update each time you click a new location on Earth. Once you have a suitable location you can close the location menu.
11. What is the magnitude of Canopus? Which is brighter, Sirius or Canopus? (Hint: Right click in Stellarium to see the more about the object. The larger the magnitude, the fainter the star. Your unaided eye can see 6th magnitude.)
12. What constellation is the SMC in?
Zoom in and you'll find an object that is not a star, and is close to the "SMC". Use the search term "47 Tuc" to center on it.
Wikipedia, and you can also Google the term and find out more.
13. Which is farther away from us, the cluster 47 Tuc or the small SMC galaxy? (Hint: Search the web for information about both of these.)
Set the date and time to June 15. If you have chosen a location about 30 to 40 degrees south of the equator from your own longitude, then the time at this site will be the same as your local time. Try 10 PM to get the sky a couple of hours after sunset.
High in this southern hemisphere sky you will now see a distinctive pattern of bright stars that outlines the "Southern Cross". It will be above the south celestial pole, while the Magellanic Clouds at this time will be below the pole.
14. Find the names of two bright stars in Crux.
15. What is the other name for this star? How far is it from the Sun?

Point of Interest
- On the same day Todd won his second career elite cyclo-cross national title in 2005, his younger brother, Troy, won the national U23 title.
- In 2010, Todd became the first person to win professional national titles in cross-country mountain bike, short track cross-country mountain bike and cyclo-cross in the same year.
- Todd loves golf and plays every day that he can.
PersonalAfter collecting his high school diploma from Kingston High School in Kingston, N.Y., in 1994, Todd Wells headed west to Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo., site of the first world championships of mountain biking in 1990. The course tape and racing trusses of that historically significant event are long gone but the culture stayed and thrives even now. Wells started racing in the fall of his freshman year at Fort Lewis College and, as it turned out, he was pretty good. He won the collegiate national title for cross-country both in 1995 and 1996, and was invited to join the Specialized Mountain Dew team, where he captured the semi-pro series title for the inaugural National Off-Road Bicycle Association racing series. Mountain bike racing had him hooked and he left Fort Lewis College and turned pro in 1997. For the next two seasons, he raced the NORBA series, the U23 World Championships, and the North American World Cup races until 1998, when he exited the sport to resume his studies, this time at the University of Arizona.
Upon completing his degree in Management Information Systems, in his own words he "got a real job" with IBM but then quickly realized that racing bikes - while perhaps less lucrative - was more fun so he hung up the suit and tie and put his tires to the dirt once more and rode off in the direction of a fulfilling career as a top-tier mountain bike pro.
He has proven no less of a threat in cyclo-cross, where he holds two national champion titles and numerous wins on the North American cyclo-cross circuit. He has twice represented the United States at the Olympics in Athens and Beijing and will don red, white and blue in London at the 2012 Olympic Games.
"I have been to the World Championships many times but nothing compares to the Olympics," said Wells. "The Olympic experience is amazing because you are surrounded by so many incredible athletes. It is very humbling to be part of the greatest global sporting event. Being in the athlete village you can hear just about every language in existence being spoken at all times. It really is awesome to be part of such an event."
Wells resides in Durango with his wife and biggest supporter, Meg, who rivals her husband's athletic prowess in her own right as a long-distance runner.Birthdate: December 25, 1975

text: Essential spring boat maintenance Take care of these tasks before hitting the water. Before you hit the water at the first sign of spring, it's essential to conduct proper boat maintenance to keep your boat performing at its best. You'll want to catch any mechanical faults before you're on the water.Set aside a day before launch to complete these boat maintenance steps or have them checked by a professional: Get your boat running. Charge the battery. After sitting idle all winter, the battery may be low — or even dead. Plug it in overnight to charge it, or purchase a new battery if necessary. Check the acid levels in the battery and top them off with distilled water. Top off the fuel tank. You don't want to be stranded in the middle of the water. Inspect the engine. Make sure all parts are in good condition. Look for loose hose clamps.Replace the spark plugs.Inspect belts, cables and hoses to make sure they aren't cracked or brittle.Check the impeller to make sure it's not too worn. Impellers typically need to be replaced every two years or after 200 hours of use. Check the brake lights. If you're hauling your boat on a trailer, make sure the brake and signal lights are working. Clean the exterior. Use a mild detergent to wipe it down, then add a coat of wax. Prep other essentials. Don't forget life jackets. Make sure you have enough on board and that they are all in good condition, easily accessible and sized appropriately for passengers. Review other safety gear. Store safety items, such as a first-aid kit, flares, fire extinguisher and flashlights, in a waterproof container.

I'm an atheist. I believe in reproductive rights for women. I believe a woman should be able to abort a pregnancy no questions asked. Why should I have to also believe the nonsense that "life begins at birth"? It seems to me that a human being is created as soon as a sperm fertilizes an egg. The DNA of a human being exists from that point onward. Are we so under the thumbs of the religious right that we can't say, "Yeah, life begins at conception. So what? The woman still has control."?
Views: 2439
I think trying to reason your way to an absolute position on abortion is a losing proposition. Determining when "human life begins," for the purpose of assigning legal rights and protections, is like determining the precise moment when a sunrise goes from red to orange. While the biological process can be objectively described, I agree with the earlier posts that consider the question to be largely subjective. One's judgement is based on one's values, and on the circumstances of the situation (and also undoubtedly on the cultural time and place in which one lives and debates the issue).
What appears to be troubling Unseen, and me as well, is the highly polarized political debate in which each side takes an extreme and absolute position. Does life-worth-protecting begin at conception? Of course not. Does life-worth-protecting only begin at birth? I can't accept that either.
Dear Unseen, your understanding of DNA is not quite accurate here. Your very own DNA started life in your Grandmother.
And on back to the original string of DNA. Not sure how what you're saying has anything to do with my points.
Definitions are not facts, they are conventions. A convention sets some sort of set point or trigger.
Descriptions of set points and triggers are factual, but set points and triggers themselves are just conventions.
Start by defining 'life'. Why is a zygote 'alive' but a developing mineral crystal 'not alive'? To me, 'human life' begins when human experiences start being recorded in memory - although I don't know exactly when that is, biologically speaking. I don't see any magic in the initial assembly of DNA from sperm/egg that sets the genetics of a human zygote that will eventually develop into a human being.
Conception vs at birth:
A big part of this (definition) I think comes from the question of when it's OK to abort. I don't pretend to have an answer for that.
True: people customize their definitions of when life begins to align with their attitude on the matter.
The DNA of a human being exists from that point onward.
Cut off your thumb. It has the DNA of a human being, yet is not a human being and will never be a human being. Therefore, the presence of human DNA does not, in and of itself, prove there is a human being involved. We need a better definition of what is a human being before we can have this discussion properly.
I agree "life begins at birth" is absurd and arbitrary. I would say, equally as absurd as "life begins at conception".
Teleologically, the destiny of the DNA in a fetus is to become a human person. One can't say the same about a thumb, though who knows what the future of cloning may hold!
"What appears to be troubling Unseen, and me as well, is the highly polarized political debate in which each side takes an extreme and absolute position. Does life-worth-protecting begin at conception? Of course not. Does life-worth-protecting only begin at birth? I can't accept that either."
Well said Joe, well said.
It seems to me that in reading all of these posts that there definately needs to be an agreement on the labels being used. Could clear up a lot of confusion and eliminate a lot of unnecessary posts. Personally I think the term "life cycle" could be useful. The human life cycle begins at conception. Would anyone disagree with that? I think the idea of a "soul" muddys the water way to much on this whole issue as well. I liked the example of twins where in if the soul would be injected at conception, and then the zygote splits, do the twins only have half each? Does the soul multiply? Do they have the same soul?
As for abortion..I heard a woman once say or maybe even she was quoting someone else, that if men could become pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. I couldn't agree more. While I would never choose to impose my view on any woman on this because of this reason, I do feel that the man involved with the pregnancy should have 50% say in whether the child is brought to term. Yes the woman does all the physical task but as has been stated that doesn't mean the man is any less emotionally invested in his unborn child. It's not as if she didn't know what could happen when she let him stick his penis in her, and so by doing so I think that automatically forfeits any idea of having more say in what happens between the two. Only if both sides agree on abortion should it take place, imo. Now obviously im excluding medical circumstances or any other extremes.
It would also seem to me that if we were to worry so much about abortion, why not be proactive and start focusing on breeding and cut it off at the pass? You need a license to operate a motor vehicle but not to create and be responsible for another life? Natural selection is all but out the fuckin window for our species and raising a child is supposed to be instinctual but let's face it a lot of people suck at it. I know this is a slippery slope but it's also true imo. Off topic as well... Bottom line seems to me we need to agree on terms and labels and debate nationally without religious bullshit clouding out real facts. Duh right?
Uh, we're all mammals right? Is a human embryo any more precious than a canine or feline embryo? Not too me. We're simply a higher order being that has developed the ability to place unnecessary emotional importance on a developing human fetus. Just ask the Catholic hospital doctors in Ireland about that. Remove the concept of religion and I believe this debate would be largely non-existent.

It has become a joyless, redundant exercise to criticize the Sabres and their owner, Terry Pegula. You're whispering into a tornado of denial, helpless in the face of one man's refusal to entertain the wide-held notion that his general manager might be a problem.
I hesitate to raise my voice, knowing that the local business community might rise up in protest out of fear that Pegula might turn tail and decide not to use his billions to rescue our hapless little town from financial ruin.
Pegula spoke publicly Tuesday for the first time since the Sabres missed the playoffs. He gave a half-hour interview to the team's flagship radio station, WGR-AM 550. Suffice it to say, the exchange wasn't nearly as contentious as the one Ted Black and Darcy Regier faced in the end-of-season press conference.
There was no sense of anger or urgency from the owner. Pegula made the Sabres out to be a rising power in the NHL, a team that is executing Regier's master plan by assembling a stable of talented and hard-working young players who will one day realize the owner's stated dream of winning the Stanley Cup.
And Regier? Pegula showed the utmost confidence in his embattled GM. It had to be tough for disillusioned fans, the ones who believe Regier should be replaced, to hear that Pegula still has an unqualified belief in his GM.
Pegula doesn't see Regier as the problem but as the perfect man to lead the Sabres out of the wilderness. After all, Regier learned at the foot of Al Arbour, who built those great Islander teams about half a century ago.
"When you look at the history, even with the Sabres, what's he done wrong?" Pegula said. "Help me out here. I'm going to ask the question. You gonna talk about some of the past deals. Maybe someone was holding the painter's hand while he was doing the painting. I don't know."
Boy, when it comes to outlandish quotes, the Sabres are the gift that keeps on giving.
We can add "What's he done wrong?" to the hit parade: Larry Quinn talking about a mulligan; Ted Black saying winning and progress aren't necessarily the same thing; Regier asking the fans to get ready for some suffering. Now Pegula completes a Fab Four of clueless commentary.
Pegula tries to come off as some folksy regular guy. But what I've detected lately is an aloof arrogance, a disdain for anyone who dares question how he runs his hockey team.
It's not Regier who is the problem, it's the nasty media that keeps poking holes in the operation. I'm convinced that one of the reasons Pegula has dug in on Regier is he doesn't want the critics to be right. That's some way to run a professional sports franchise, isn't it?
What has Regier done wrong? How much time do you have? Do you want an entire list, or the Cliff Notes version?
How about missing the playoffs twice in a row, four times in six years and seven times in 11? How about the fact that in 16 years, he has yet to draft a player who finished better than tied for 15th in NHL scoring? Or that he has never drafted and developed a true No. 1 center?
Staying too faithful to underachieving players, like Tim Connolly? Making all those bad moves at the trade deadline? Failing to bolster his defense when the Sabres had a shot at the Cup? Staying too long with Lindy Ruff? Botching the Briere-Drury situations? Overpaying Ville Leino, among others?
Regier has become a joke around the NHL. Despite renovating the locker room and making it a crime to step on the logo, he has a recruiting problem. Pegula admitted as much when he talked about the trouble luring free agents. His two best players, Thomas Vanek and Ryan Miller, don't want to be here.
Of course, it's no shock to hear Pegula defending Regier. He extended Regier's contract before the season. For all we know – he still hasn't addressed it – Pegula doesn't feel Lindy Ruff did anything wrong, either. Maybe he had to be prodded into firing Ruff, one of his heroes.
Early in the WGR interview, Pegula said he didn't want to talk about the previous ownership. Then he did just that. He wasted no time reminding us that Darcy's hands had been tied under Tom Golisano – or to use his metaphor, that "someone was holding the painter's hand."
Pegula was clearly looking to heap blame on Golisano and Quinn. He came with an agenda, the same as Black and Regier in the season-ending presser when they kept telling us the rebuilding began at the 2012 trade deadline. Their strategy is more transparent than the glass surrounding the rink.
Of course, Pegula wasn't pressed on Ruff during the interview. The "Hockey Hotline" house men didn't ask about raising ticket prices 4 percent and announcing it on Fan Appreciation Night. No reference to the owner's infamous remark about drilling another well. Nothing about the "suffering" theme.
It was interesting to hear Pegula carry on about the Bruins, and what a close, hard-working group they have. That's how Sabres fans have felt for the last, oh, 30 years or so. They dream about rooting for a tough, competitive team that wears out the opposition, a team they could embrace, like the Bruins.
Pegula says he wants players who are tough and work hard. Gee, when did he figure that out? And if the Sabres haven't been tough enough for the last 16 years, whose fault is that? Who put together those teams that never seemed to possess the competitive edge that prevails come playoff time?
Regier, the same man who will be expected to preside over the rebuilding.
The owner said he wants to reward workers. That's what he did at East Resources, the natural gas drilling company that made his fortune. He has put his trust in Regier, who rewarded Drew Stafford, Connolly, Tyler Myers and others whose work ethic and production hasn't matched the investment.
Pegula loves to use his success in the natural gas business as a model. He doesn't understand that running a sports franchise is different. That makes you wonder if his business bonanza wasn't just luck.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) They've never met, never even talked, but they'd probably be best of friends.
Both of them were home schooled, both are rooted deeply in their Christian faith. Both were standout prep players who overcame funky throwing motions to develop into bruising, run-first quarterbacks for two of college football's most accomplished coaches.
All that Collin Klein needs to do now is lead No. 3 Kansas State to a national championship, stop by the Best Buy Theater in New York to accept the Heisman Trophy along the way, and the comparisons to former Florida star and current Jets backup Tim Tebow may never end.
``I've never met him and I've barely ever heard him speak, but watching him, you can see his team believes in him,'' Tebow said in an interview with The Associated Press. ``He has great leadership, great poise, awesome competitive excellence and he's a winner. At the end of games and in big situations in games, he always comes through. That's an awesome trait.''
It's one of the traits that defined Tebow's career with the Gators.
Just like Klein, who has developed under the sagely wisdom of Bill Snyder, Tebow leaned on the guidance of Urban Meyer to become one of the sports' most dynamic players.
Tebow served as a change-of-pace backup to Chris Leak his freshman season, when the Gators won the national title, but followed it up with one of the most statistically impressive seasons in the history of major college ball.
Tebow threw for 3,286 yards, completed 66.9 percent of his passes, and had 32 touchdown passes with only six interceptions. But it was on the ground where he truly set himself apart, running for 895 yards and 23 touchdowns with the kind of power usually found in a fullback.
He wound up taking home the Heisman Trophy over Arkansas running back Darren McFadden.
Looking back, Tebow recognizes the similarities between the 2007 season he put together - and the two after that - with the senior season that Klein is having in the Flint Hills.
He's on pace to throw for 2,649 yards with 20 touchdowns and just three interceptions this season, and would finish with 1,030 yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground.
Numbers quite similar to Tebow's Heisman season.
``I've gotten to see a lot of him last year to this year. I'm a huge college football fan, so I watch all the time, and I love watching what they do,'' Tebow said. ``I've watched their offensive film, seeing some of the stuff they do, some of the read-option and short yardage stuff they do, goal-line plays, and seeing how he handles that. He does a great job.''
Tebow is so enamored of Klein that's made it a point to watch the Wildcats (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) whenever he can, dissecting the performance by what could be his doppelganger.
Case in point: Kansas State's gutsy victory at Iowa State earlier this season.
Tebow can recall specific plays that Klein made down the stretch.
``He needed to make a play on third-and-11, the rush came and he broke free and ran, broke a tackle and scored a touchdown,'' Tebow said. ``That was a huge play where most people might say, `Oh, he just ran into the end zone.' No, if they get stopped there, they go up by six or something and Iowa State might go down and win the game. You never know. But he kind of sealed the deal.''
Klein brushes off the similarities to Tebow, though he's acknowledged many times that he's appreciative of the comparisons - more so for the values that Tebow represents off the field than his jaw-dropping performances on it.
Tebow's missionary work, particularly in the Philippines, is well known.
``I think I'm very blessed that God has provided my upbringing in a way that I had parents and coaches that invested in me, and provided a foundation to understand what's really important, and success is fleeting in this world,'' Klein said. ``There's bigger things at stake.''
Kansas State wide receiver Tyler Lockett said Klein's work ethic is what sets him apart.
``He's a very good practice player,'' Klein said. ``He works in every area, whether it's in his throwing, in his vision, in his running, just calling the plays, reading defenses. He's a student of the game, and when he comes out on the field, we trust whatever he does.''
That trust is a big reason why Snyder, much like Meyer with Tebow, has turned over a large amount of control of the Kansas State offense.
``He understands his responsibilities,'' Snyder said, ``and how he needs to handle them.''
Snyder has praised Klein for remaining even-keeled, even as the Wildcats barrel toward a spot in the BCS title game. They're No. 2 in the standings heading into Saturday's game against Oklahoma State, and then have three more games left to polish off the school's first undefeated season.
Then it's up to the voters and computers to decide whether it's been good enough.
One thing is certain: Klein has been plenty good enough.
``Hearing that he does it the right way, it's awesome, because he's going to have so many kids looking up to him in Kansas who want to be the next Collin Klein,'' Tebow said. ``That's more important than what he's doing on the field right now.''

A teen mom in Oklahoma home alone with a 3-month-old shot an intruder dead after a 911 dispatcher told her to "do what you have to do."
Sarah McKinley, 18, who had recently buried her husband who died of cancer on Christmas Day, called 911 when Justin Martin, a man who had first visited her on the day of her husband's funeral, tried to break in to her home, KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City reported.
Martin returned on New Year's Eve with a second man, Dustin Stewart, ABC's Good Morning America reported:
McKinley told ABC News Oklahoma City affiliate KOCO that she quickly got her 12 gauge, went into her bedroom and got a pistol, put the bottle in the baby's mouth and called 911.
… "I can't tell you that you can do that but you do what you have to do to protect your baby," the dispatcher told her. McKinley was on the phone with 911 for a total of 21 minutes.
When Martin kicked in the door and came after her with the knife, the teen mom shot and killed the 24-year-old. Police are calling the shooting justified.
Det. Dan Huff of the Blanchard Police told KOCO-TV: "You're allowed to shoot an unauthorized person that is in your home. The law provides you the remedy, and sanctions the use of deadly force."

Lauren Cuthbertson as Juliet and Federico Bonelli as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet © Bill Cooper/ROH 2012
We recently asked you to vote for your favourite Royal Ballet production of 2011/12 with the added bonus of being entered into a draw to win a pair of Swan Lake tickets. You entered in your hundreds and your comments made for some very interesting reading indeed.
Well done to Sophie Ibbs who won the tickets.
With the formalities over, onto what you picked out as your 2011/12 Royal Ballet season highlights:
Romeo and Juliet stood out in your responses as particularly acclaimed, both on stage and in cinemas and the partnership of Tamara Rojo and Carlos Acosta went down particularly well. Their performance affected Anne Hall who in her comment told us that she "could not speak for an hour after the performance because I was sobbing!". The production was screened in cinemas with six ballet newcomers from A Younger Theatre joining us to livetweet from behind the scenes prior to curtain up. Read their reactions to Romeo and Juliet.
Returning a year after premiering, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland went down a treat with you. Fran Waterhouse told us that the appeal of Christopher Wheeldon's ballet was its "Fun, colour, magical effects and hypnotic orchestration". Beatriz Stix-Brunell made a memorable debut in the title role and has since been promoted to the rank of soloist. Lauren Cuthbertson and Sarah Lamb also both impressed. The ambitious staging caught attention too with audience members such as Francessca Howard left trying to unravel its visual tricks. The ballet returns in 2012/13.
Plenty of you enjoyed our festive offering of The Nutcracker. The Christmas staple was frequently mentioned in the same sentence as "magical" and made for an enjoyable first taster of ballet for some including Sophie Waters who said that she was particularly impressed by the set saying she "can't wait to go to the ballet again". Praise too from Elodie Calligé who said that The Royal Ballet's production was "the most Christmassy" staging of the work. The much-loved ballet returns again from 10 December.
La Fille mal gardée with its famous chickens and clog dances made an impression on you. Frederick Ashton's quintessentially English ballet put a smile on many faces with a "perfect mix of dance, athleticism, cheekiness and a cast that looked like they were having such fun performing it" according to commenter Emma. Many more of you echoed this sentiment. International audiences warmed to its charms too, with cinema relay attendees watching from as far away as Argentina. Read audience reactions to the cinema relay.
Other ballets of note included the recent Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 collaboration with the National Gallery - "unique and inspiring" according to Shah Abdul-Wahid; the Carbon Life/Polyphonia/Sweet Violets triple - "each so different but together they showed off all the company's skills", enthused commenter Benjamin; and Asphodel Meadows which caused Chantal Guevara to delight in its "rich detail", lightheartedly threatening to campaign with placards in Covent Garden until it returns!
2011/12 was both Monica Mason and Principal Tamara Rojo's final season with The Royal Ballet with the programme chosen to reflect Dame Monica's career and personal favourite works. Conal Grealis praised the year's range of productions as "stellar choices" that made choosing a single favourite production difficult. Tamara Rojo returns as a Guest Artist for Marguerite and Armand alongside Sergei Polunin next season giving audiences another chance to see an artist that many of you praised.
Unfortunately we couldn't reflect all of your comments. Thank you very much for your comments. Read all the entries on the original article and via the Twitter hashtag.

If you haven't been using the FamilySearch website for your genealogy research, you are missing out on a rich database that is completely free. This is the genealogy website run by the Church of the Latter Day Saints, using their huge archives of genealogical material stored out in Utah. It is important to sign up as a registered user on the website, to gain access to the scans of primary source material. Without seeing the original documents you will be limited to transcribed records.
Don't be afraid of registering on this website with a password. It is free, and there will be no spam or email from the Mormon church. Just last night I recommended this website to a complete stranger on a Facebook chat about Nashua genealogy. Along with obituaries she was able to begin her genealogical journey using these records and some New Hampshire vital records found on Family Search.
To discover all the newly available documents online for the state of New Hampshire, click off "United States" on the home page, and then scroll down to "New Hampshire" on the list of states. You will see a list of nine databases available, ranging from Birth, Marriage and Death records to the latest entry "New Hampshire Town Clerk, Vital and Town Records, 1636 – 1947". Note that out of the nine collections, six have a camera icon next to them, signifying that you will be able to see the actual scanned images of that collection. The town clerk collection was added on 7 November 2012.
To see the collection, you must click on the line "Browse through the 402, 443 images" and pick the county, and then the town you are interested in reading. Since I live in Londonderry, I first went to the Londonderry records to take a peek. The records are not searchable, but you can browse to search for a certain year or for pertinent information. As volunteers transcribe these records, they will become searchable in the future, just like the vital records.
There are tools on the left for manipulating the image to make it readable (to enlarge it, or rotate it, etc) and choices for saving images and printing. This is very important if you find a reference to your ancestor in the town clerk records. You will find elected officers, town meetings, poor lists, tax records, and even some vital records in the town clerk collections.
If your ancestors and family members lived in other states or countries, this website is rich in records from all over the United States and all over the globe. I found baptism and marriage records from my husband's ancestral village in Spain going back to the 1700s!
Recently, genealogist Randy Seaver wrote about how he found his ancestor's birth record in the Brookline, New Hampshire town clerk records online. You can read about how he accomplished this at the post titled "Finding Hannah Sawtell's 1789 Birth Record in the New Hampshire Town Clerk Records" at this link http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/11/finding-hannah-sawtells-1789-birth.html

Topic: who are better: clone troopers(Republic) or battle droids( Seperatists
it is obvious that clones are stronger, smarter, faster, cooler and over all better than droids but what do you think?
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → General → who are better: clone troopers(Republic) or battle droids( Seperatists
it is obvious that clones are stronger, smarter, faster, cooler and over all better than droids but what do you think?
Definetely, and I like them better, but there is another topic for this--try to check for that first.
http://www.bobafett.com/boards/viewtopi … 403#p63403
And here is that elusive other topic, by yours truly
Hard to say, since both armies were merely pawns in a grand shceme outside the war itself.
So, let's take a look at the events AFTER the Clone Wars ended...
~Soldiers for The Clone Army of the Republic went on to become known as "Stormtroopers", feared and dreaded as they bumped into door hatches throughout the galaxy.
~Droids went on to become bartenders, butlers, doctors and mechanics for the most part, fetching meager prices from the Jawas and generally looked down upon by hillbilly moisture farmers... although I wouldn't mind owning a few Droidekas and IG Lancers for my own questionable purposes.
not battle droids--they were decomissioned, and probably scrapped or sold to the highest bidder, like warlords and pirates. But again, wrong spot for this.
For the record, I think revan07's topic, while very similar to the linked thread included, is more "topic specific" for the ideas I would like to post. The discussion on the other thread easily devolves into a discussion about how specific a particular idea can be (Organic in general vs. Mechanical in general, as opposed to Republic Clones vs. Separtist Droids in the war). My viewpoint fits better here, I think. I have ideas that are posted in that thread as well, for that discussion. But this is just me. The moderators can decide, it wouldn't bother me.
Now, in response to the decommisioned Battle Droids, you are correct. I should have worded my response more clearly... let's see if I can sum this up better.
~Clones became Stormtroopers. They were kept in service after the war and gained a fearsome reputation within the Empire.
~Battle Droids were decommisioned, and the idea of using them for wartime was largely abandoned. Droids were relegated largely to the service industry once more. They make better butlers than soldiers.
The Emperor controlled both sides of the chess board, and seeming placed little value on the Separatist Droids from the start. The Clones would destroy the Jedi and serve the Emperor. The Droids would simply be turned off and scrapped after fulfilling their purpose in his scheme. He never intended the Droids to be anything but cannon fodder for the war.
Still... it's hard for me to imagine that there wasn't a room full of Droidekas stored SOMEWHERE on the Death Star. Those things were badass, man.
battle droids were the most produced model in the war on the Seperatists side and civilians feared them simply because of there numbers and simple blasters. yet clone troopers are smarter and learn from mistakes. also clones are more agile, you couldn't have a droid roll withoiut falling apart. overall clones are immensley superior to simple battle droids
as for super battle droids they were more of a challenge for clones yet they were not the most accurate of machines. overall clones would come out superior to SBDs due to fire power, tactics and smetimes just luck
Droidekas could however be a huge problem for clones but you have to remember there were not that many Droidekas. and they were not invincible
remember that the Seperatists were literally fighting an army of a million Jango Fetts, just with a little less skill, but clones are clones of Jango so they are as intelligent, agile and accurate as the legendary bounty hunter
if any one has any more points pro clones or pro doirds please post them
you couldn't have a droid roll withoiut falling apart.
except droidekas........
but they were fairly rare, despite how numerous they are in battlefront. So they're less of a problem.
Clone troopers are better.
clones. they can aim.
The clones kicked hell out of the Sep. driod armies...............just a fact
clones. they can aim.
Really? Have you watched the Original Trilogy lately?
hence why i said clones, and not stormtroopers. when i say clones, i'm talking about the Jango Fett clones, the Grand Army of the Republic, not the Imperial Empire Army. the Imp Army is full of clones of all different people. hence why this topic is about Clone Troopers and not Stormtroopers. Unlike their future variants, clones do not stuffer from "the stormtrooper effect." and battle droids were decommissioned and such because Palpatine also didn't want anyone to start a droid army that could destroy the Empire.
I agree with you Fett_II.Empire is much different than Grand army of Republic.
I would lead towards the Clone Troopers(Jango Fett clones) on this one for the aforementiioned reasons.
The answer to this question is so obvious that Im not even going to say it.
You know the stormtrooper effect has been explained
remeber how the stormies were so acurate on the Tantive IV but inacurate on the death Star. Remember on the death Star the stormtroopers were under orders to let Luke and friends escape so they could track them to Yavin.
So basically whenever stormies were inacurtate they were under orders not to kill the heores(Death Star rescue and Bespin escape) but when they were meant to kill them they were acurate(Tantine IV and endor)
While the DROIDS were superior in many ways to the CLONES:
They could aim better
Were fearless
Able to fight until destroyed or deactivated
Immune to fatigue and illness
All that said, they were inferior in that they did not have in their core the intellect and heart of warriors, only a preprogrammed set of algorhythyms approaching intelligence.
Tech will always lose to the heart and inguneity of man, over time.
CLONES died off according to TRAVISS, a few lived on in EXILE, but their advanced aging was never turned off in mass.
KT wrote a bit about the initial struggles VADER went through to find the new prototype to replace the FETT genome. In one novel (I honestly forget at this moment) they talk about the STORMIES being individuals and not cloned, thus they were open to as much variety as any army.
This is a little off topic but Viking I absolutely love your signature!! Very honorable.
I think clones are better. Imagination is a warrior's most important weapon, and the droids don;t have it.
Viking, clones can aim better than droids
droids and their faulty programming cause them to confuse a twig with a Republic soldier. and Viking, Stormtroopers were cloned off the many people who joined the Empire Army, to increase their numbers.
What I was trying to say the had th advantage of not having eye fatigue, ability to see infrared and such. True, the CLONES can accomplish this with technical advantages, but in an open battle arena the DROIDS were laying down waste.
I also made some inferences form the STAR WARS games and knowing of our own ABRAMS series tanks that can shot 4000 meters while on the fly. Though in a galaxt far far away they would be able to shoot while moving.
Stormtroopers are actually not clones, not by the time of the OT. They were recruited or pressganged. (as Viking1 said)
"but when they were meant to kill them they were acurate(Tantine IV and endor)"-revan07
However, they still got pwned by a bunch of teddy bears.

Ah, okay. That's true. But at the Battle of Geonosis, when the dust kicked up after the Separatist starship came back crashing down, both sides were shooting blindly.

Ubuntu Download Software – Some of the Best, Free for the Downloading
Everyone knows that the Ubuntu operating system is free to download; not everyone is aware, however, that the operating system has a host of applications and utilities that you can also get for free. Here is some of the most popular Ubuntu download software you can find online.
The GNOME Do is an application launcher that allows users to quickly search for items on their desktop or online and perform useful tasks on them. The latest version of the software, version 0.8.2, also includes an intuitive new desktop dock called Docky. It can be downloaded from the Do homepage, http://www.do.davebsd.com.
VirtualBox is a virtualization program which is loaded on an existing OS, then allows you to load and run additional operating systems, each within its own virtual environment. It can be downloaded from VirtualBox.org.
If you're looking for an open source music manager, Songbird is a good Ubuntu download application. Songbird allows you to manage your IPod, download album art, play streaming audio on its browser and has a whole host of useful add-ons such as LyricMaster, which displays lyrics from your favorite tracks. You can get it from http://www.getsongbird.com.
HandBrake is an open source video transcoder that allows you to convert any mpeg video (including DVDs) into an mpeg-4 video file that can be played on virtually any device. The latest version, HandBrake 0.9.3 can be downloaded from http://www.handbrake.fr. The software is cross-platform and is also available for Windows and Mac OS.
If you're unhappy with the way your Ubuntu desktop looks, then Ubuntu Tweak is an essential Ubuntu download application. Tweak allows users to change hidden system and desktop settings but can be used only with the Gnome desktop environment. It also makes the task of installing third-party upgrades such as the latest Firefox beta easier. Get it from http://www.ubuntu-tweak.com.
Conky is a software system monitor that allows the user to monitor the status of many system variables including the CPU, memory, swap space and network interfaces and displays the information on their desktop. It is available from http://www.conky.sourceforge.net.
Aside from applications, there are many essential Ubuntu download e-books in pdf format that you can get for free that will allow you to get the most out of your Ubuntu OS. These include The Official Ubuntu Book, the Linux Bible 2007 edition, Beginning Ubuntu Linux and Ubuntu Linux for Non-Geeks. These resources and others can be downloaded at the FreeBookLinks.com site.
If you are interested in Flash training movies or printed manuals for Ubuntu check this out.
And of course, what would an OS be without some games to kill time with? Some popular games include America's Army 2.5 (multiplayer shooter game), Babylon Project (space combat simulator) and Flightgear (flight simulator). Try http://www.ubuntuforums.org for links to these games.
Of course, the ultimate Ubuntu download is the latest release of the Ubuntu OS, version 9.10 which is codenamed the Karmic Koala. Although the OS is not due to be formally released until the end of October, you can already download the Alpha 4 version of the software for testing and de-bugging by the online community. The OS features new versions of the Linux kernel and the Gnome desktop environment. The default instant messaging client has also been changed from Pidgin to Empathy and Firefox 3.5 is the new default web browser. Also added is the Palimpsest Desk Utility application, a testing and monitoring tool which shows you the uptime and temperature of the driver as well as being a partition management tool.

The new Supreme Court decision could have profound effects throughout the states and in federal courts.
On Thursday, July 18, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that police must first obtain a warrant to legally track data from cellphones in the state -- a decision that could have profound effects throughout the states and in federal courts, the New Jersey Star Ledger reported.
In issuing the ruling, the court sided with a man who was arrested in 2006 after police tracked him down using his cellphone data -- without a warrant.
"Today, cellphones can be pinpointed with great precision, but courts are not adept at calculating a person's legitimate expectation of privacy with mathematical certainty," according to a syllabus prepared by the Office of the Court. "What is clear is that cellphones are not meant to serve as tracking devices to locate their owners wherever they may be. No one buys a cellphone to share detailed information about their whereabouts with the police."
Some privacy proponents support the decision given the age of wide-ranging e-surveillance in which we currently live.
The new law does specify that no warrant is required during emergency situations.

Almond Milk
Everyone knows that milk is good for you, whether you're a kid or an adult. It makes your bones stronger and your body healthier. Unfortunately, not everyone can drink dairy milk. Some of us are allergic to it. Some of us are lactose intolerant or have milk protein intolerance. Because of this, replacements of dairy milk have come into existence. One of these is almond milk.
History of Almond Milk
Though almond milk has only become a popular milk alternative recently, most people don't know that it has actually been around for centuries. During the middle ages, the Chinese preferred to create milk from nuts and legumes rather than consume dairy products which were constantly being introduced and reintroduced to them. In Europe, it was a popular alternative to cow's milk since it could be stored longer (cow's milk tended to spoil earlier especially since there were no refrigerators at the time) and it could be made whenever it is needed. Since almond milk is made out of nuts, Christians and Muslims during that time also used it during feasts or fast days that required them not to consume animal products, such as Lent.
Nutritional Content
Almond milk is a highly popular alternative to dairy milk since it is rich in nutrients. Just like cow's milk, almond milk is rich in calcium; a cup (8 oz.) contains about 300mg which meets 30% the Recommended Daily Value for calcium. This milk is also vitamin-rich. The amount of vitamin A it contains meets 50% of the Recommended Daily Value. It also is rich with vitamins D and E. Aside from vitamins, almond milk is full of minerals such as manganese, selenium, copper, zinc, iron, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, and magnesium. Protein is also a nutritional content of almond milk though it is only about 1 to 2 grams in each cup. The good news is that, though it is low on protein, it also is low on carbohydrates and fats. One cup contains 2.5g of fat and 8g of carbohydrates. Even better, it only contains unsaturated fats (including Omega 3 fatty acids) which are good for the body. It has zero saturated fats unlike dairy milk. As for calories, each cup of almond milk has about 40-60 calories which is a great deal lesser than that found in skim milk.
There are a great many benefits to be had from drinking almond milk. One big factor in its popularity among the public is its taste. Not everyone likes the taste of cow's milk. Some think it tastes too plain while others think it's too creamy or thick. Almond milk's taste, on the other hand, is quite different. It has a crisp, clean flavor with a nutty texture. It mixes well with coffee and tea and adds quite a nice flavor to dishes and baked goods.
Because almond milk is low in calories and fats, it's a great alternative to dairy milk for those who are trying to lose weight or maintain it. Another healthy benefit to drinking almond milk is that it ensures that your heart stays healthy. Cholesterol and saturated fats are found in cow's milk and these can be unhealthy to your cardiovascular system. Almond milk has none of these. Instead, it contains Omega 3 fatty acids which helps lower the bad cholesterol that you do have which protects your heart from damage.
For diabetics or those who want to lower/maintain their sugar levels, almond milk is a better alternative as well. It actually has a low amount of sugars, only 7 grams per serving. These sugars have a low glycemic nature which means that they are easily digested and turned into energy thus, they cannot be stored as fat.
Calcium and vitamin D can be found in almond milk which is great for good bone health. Both of these help build stronger bones not only in children but in adults as well. Magnesium, also found in almond milk, helps the body to absorb more calcium. In addition, vitamin D increases the body's immunity and cell function. In fact, some studies have shown that this vitamin helps decrease the risk of osteoporosis as well as Alzheimer's disease.
Almond milk is also high in antioxidants particularly vitamin E. This slows down your body's signs of aging by increasing the body's immunity and protecting the tissues and cells from damage. It also prevents cancer. In addition, you also get a lot of vitamin A from almond milk which helps in your eyes' ability to function properly – improves your eyes' ability to adjust to changes in light. Flavonoids in the milk decrease the risk of developing a degenerative disease by helping lessen the number of free radicals in the body.
Though almond milk is low in protein, it doesn't mean that it can't help build your muscles. It contains riboflavin and iron which are muscle regulating nutrients, helping the muscles absorb and utilize protein for growth, repair, and energy.
Aside from all the health benefits, almond milk is an excellent alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or unable to consume soy products. It also does not contain any animal by-products thus it is perfect for vegans and vegetarians.
Making Almond Milk
Due to its current popularity, there are loads of almond milk brands available in your nearby grocery store or supermarket. Thus, anyone who has a hankering for almond milk can easily get it. But the real beauty of almond milk is that you can make it at home. It is actually quite simple and doesn't require advanced skills in the kitchen. The basic ingredients that you'll need are just almonds and water. You can opt to use sweeteners like honey or maple syrup and you can also choose to add flavors to spice it up like cinnamon or vanilla. As for equipment, you'll need a cheese cloth, a strainer, a measuring cup, a big bowl/container, and a food processor or blender.
To make almond milk, you should start with soaking the almonds in water until they feel squishy and look plump and juicier. Drain the water from the almonds before placing them in a blender or food processor along with about 2 cups of water. Once the almonds have formed into a fine meal, you will need to filter the meal out using a cheese cloth so you can extract all of the milk then viola! You've got homemade almond milk that you can enjoy anytime!

France stuns Russia at Worlds
Helsinki, Finland – Damien Fleury and Antoine Roussel scored to back the 28-save effort of Florian Hardy, as France pulled off one of the biggest upsets in World Hockey Championship history with a 2-1 victory over Russia.
The French beat the Russians for the first time in six all-time meetings. It was Russia's first loss of the 2013 tournament and ended the defending champs' 13-game event winning streak.
Russia was coming off a 5-3 win over the United States on Tuesday and remains tied with the Americans for first place in Group H. Alexander Perezhogin scored the lone goal for the Russians, while Vasili Koshechkin made 17 saves in defeat.
Perezhogin put the Russians on top at 6:57 of the second period, but Fleury tied it just under three minutes later. Roussel gave the French the lead with 3:12 remaining in the second and Hardy made it stand up by stopping all 11 Russian shots he faced in the third.
In Group S, the Czech Republic pulled out a 2-1 shootout win against Denmark.

A Friday morning fire gutted a house on U. S. 460 a few miles west of Bedford.
Russell Stevens, Bedford's fire chief, said the call came in around 7 a.m. Flames were shooting out of the front of the house when firefighters got there.
Stevens, who was the on-scene commander for the firefighters involved, said that it took between 35 and 40 minutes to extinguish the blaze. However, smoldering pockets inside walls and in the attic kept them on the scene until nearly noon.
The house was heavily damaged.
