Alpine Lake View 34 </s> Manziel Glad To Talk 'Bama
HOOVER, Ala. — Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel faced relentless questions at SEC Media Days here Wednesday about his off-the-field behavior, overshadowing — pardon the pun — the big elephant in the room: Alabama.
Texas A&M’s Sept. 14 showdown with the Crimson Tide not only will affect the SEC West race, it has season-long implications in the national rankings.
Nevertheless, that friendship apparently didn’t extend to McCarron waking his friend up in time for his appointments. Manziel admittedly slept through his commitments at the camp, blaming it on exhaustion and denying reports that he was hung over after a night of partying.
Manziel turned more serious when asked about Alabama coach Nick Saban’s public support of proposals designed to slow down no-huddle offenses out of concerns for safety of defenders. Saban and others want a rule that would allow defenses to substitute after first downs.
“The rules are the rules,” Manziel said. “If he’s going to a board and get those changed, by all means, go for it if he’s really that worried about it, and if it’s that big of a deal. But at the end of the day, you just need to go on the field and play football.” </s> Small .exe file to capture stills from a webcam on mouse click for Windows PC required

Ov—the greatest news story of the new century—into the hand of the editor. After reading it he smiled and said, "Well, well! How nice the boys will be home for Christmas."
I wonder how often we miss the point when God is doing a work among us. The religious people of Christ's day who were actually anticipating his coming as their Messiah failed totally to recognize him—and ironically had him crucified—because he didn't come and didn't operate in the way that they expected.
And how tragic is it that so many people today are also missing the whole point of Christmas? The point being that on the birth of Christmas Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, clothing himself in an external garment of human flesh, stepped out of the "ivory palaces of heaven" to identify himself with lost mankind and came to earth to die on a cruel Roman cross to pay the penalty for your sins and mine so that we could be freely forgiven by God for all our sins and receive God's gift of eternal life.
There is no greater tragedy in all of life than to miss out on God's gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
Whatever you do, don't miss out on the meaning and purpose of Christmas. Be sure to accept God's gift of forgiveness and eternal life today. For helponline a, please help me understand the true meaning and purpose of Christmas and be sure that I have been forgiven and have received your gift of eternal life and thereby know that I know that I know that I am a true Christian and follower of JLuke 7:32 (NIV).


I’ve always lived in Pennsylvania. Until 2016, my life in the commonwealth was ordinary as far as following local government and politics. I voted in every election, even the municipal ones in odd-numbered years, but I didn’t pay much attention. A township supervisor lives a couple of doors down from me. Her son lives next door and the house I live in used to belong to her daughter. For years, I voted for this woman to represent me on a board of supervisors I thought didn’t have much power beyond keeping my short cul-de-sac street oddly well treated in the winter. One election year, my neighbor supervisor stood in front of the polling place when I went to cast my ballot. I smiled and said hi to her and some other candidate. “Do the right thing,” she said to me in a gruff, ominous tone. I went in and voted for her, the only Republican I’d select in any race for decades.
The thing that jolted me into political awareness was the 2016 election. After that shock that we really all should have expected, I reached out to the local den of political power, the West Deer Democratic Committee (WDDC), and said I wanted to help. I wanted to do “more than listen to Pod Save America,” I told the guy that replied to my email. He thought I was a perfect fit and I was soon appointed to represent my voting precinct.
WDDC was tiny and scrabbling for traction in West Deer, a place where the majority of people were registered democrats that voted republican. Trump won the majority of votes in 2016 and 2020. A large number of homes displayed Make America Great Again gear and when their re-election campaign was unsuccessful, the MAGA stuff gradually receded to give way to giant “Biden Sucks” flags and “Let’s Go Brandon” merch.
Our little fledgling committee tried to do the work of political organizing without advertising our “liberal” ideas. It was a righteous campaign led from the shadows, foredoomed to fail. We did get a few Biden signs in yards for the 2020 election. Huzzah!
Outside of the dismal political landscape, West Deer is an average representation of exurban southwestern Pennsylvania. At the northern edge of Allegheny County, most people aren’t eager to be included in county business. “We don’t really want to be advertising that, do we?” the Chairman of the West Deer Planning Commission once asked laughing as the header for the township’s website was projected onscreen. West Deer Township is printed on one end with Allegheny County PA on the other, the two separated by only a silhouette of a non-native deer. Allegheny County imposes things like a ban on open burning that’s viewed as a nuisance to people that still view their community as a rural place even as the population grows with each sprawling housing plan.
2010 census information listed on the township website identifies the racial makeup of the municipality as 98.8% white. By 2020, West Deer demographics reported by the census bureau found the township to be 98.2% white and 97.7% white alone, not Hispanic or Latino.
It took many years in this environment, which is notably nearly identical to the extremely rural part of southern Washington County where I spent my youth, to realize that I had little idea what my neighbors thought about anything. That is to say, before the Trump signs showed up, I figured we were all moving through life, doing our best, wishing each other well. And it occurred to me during the fierce disagreements of 2016, that I was able to believe this because we never talked about anything of substance.
I was very involved in the community, a Girl Scout troop leader and a Sunday School teacher and the person that spent all year organizing Vacation Bible School. It’s been my life experience that once I notice something, I can’t stop seeing it. A stain on a shirt or a cobweb in the corner or white silence. These are all things that I’ve never been able to ignore again after they’ve caught my eye even if I don’t do anything to clean them up. I still keep seeing it.
And I noticed amid all my community volunteer busyness that we carefully observed polite conversation. It was known that I had a history of mental illness, but I wasn’t one of those “weird” people, so I got to cosplay as a good white woman. This made me uncomfortable, but it wasn’t until the church, a pillar of West Deer community, tackled the mental health crisis caused by two high school student deaths by suicide with rubber bracelet handouts emblazoned with the phrase “You Matter” that I just couldn’t take it anymore. I found the nearest exit and never went back. Metaphorically. As it happens, you can’t actually get very far away from the crushing assimilation of this place while still living in it.
After finishing my standing volunteer obligations, I pulled back to just WDDC. I thought I might find the courage to use the committee to achieve some change or have hard conversations. We weren’t courageous in the least though and our conversations were only nominally more substantive. We mostly existed in an echo chamber, swallowing the moderate Democrat policy platform as though it wasn’t quickly killing us all.
This is where I was in early 2020, not thinking about fracking and feeling inadequately equipped to fight something I’d only recently noticed. I was disappointed in the place I’d chosen to call home and hard at work emotionally disconnecting myself from it. Perhaps, I thought, I can sleep here and make a stand for social justice with like-minded people in Pittsburgh. That was before the call that would send me and my husband, Tim, in a new direction for the next several years.
We were called to fight fracking and we did that almost exclusively for two years. Now, after the Dionysus decision, there's a lull. We're no longer in the throes of constant activity and research. We can take time to reflect and rest before the next well pad. Here in this time, I'm not even on the democratic committee anymore. I used the May 2022 election cycle as a natural stopping point and if I had more energy I might get involved with DSA or the Allegheny Green Party. Even though that doesn't seem right quite yet, I do feel less apt to swallow the moderate Democrat policies that are quickly killing our planet. I want to rebel against the moderacy, even knowing as I do that I'll have to cast votes for Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman in November to avoid hastening our collective demise.
Maybe that's part of the dread or just a necessary stop on the way to the next thing. Either way, before too long, there will be another well pad hearing. That will be enough.
There was a partial conclusion to our fracking fight last week. On December 15, 2021, the West Deer Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to deny the conditional use application for the Dionysus Deep Well Site.
In short, plain language: we won.
The driller will probably appeal the decision. They could submit a whole new application for another pad. We still have a public hearing for the same operator to build the Leto well pad in an even worse location. There's so much work left to be done, but for these few days in December, we can rest easy knowing that we did something here. We gathered over 100 of our neighbors and spent 40 hours in public hearings. We stressed and struggled and worried. And we won.
Moving in a New Direction with (Hopefully) Cleaner Air
The Coway Mighty HEPA Air Purifier
Right around the time the pandemic started making headlines for being "a thing" in the United States, my husband and I got sort of nominated by default to keep an eye on plans for two frack well pads proposed for our exurban northern Allegheny County, PA township. And that was a new thing for the two of us to undertake though fracking is nothing new in Pennsylvania. My parents live about an hour south in Washington County and historically the drive to visit them was miserable until the other side of Bridgeville. When fracking really got going in the 2010s, the miserable part of the drive shifted more to the Houston exit where you'd often get mixed in with convoys of water trucks and Ford F150 brigades speeding by as a sign of fracking induced "economic prosperity." Even Allegheny County had a few well pads in the outer reaches where crowded subdivisions give way to open forest and farmland. I'd been tangentially aware of all of this for quite some time. I thought that too many people live in my community for there to be fracking close by.
Since I found out my error early in the process for these two specific well pads, there was plenty we could do to force the drilling company's plans into the spotlight. Being tenacious people (or as our 16-year-old puts it: annoying), Tim and I began to drown ourselves and our neighbors in information. We scrutinized the township ordinance and the conditional use application. (After first learning that the ordinance and conditional use application exist and what each required of companies that wanted to do business here.) I went to an environmental webinar every night and before long I was either a climate activist or a community organizer or something. Whichever name I picked or had assigned to me, I was something new. Life had once again shifted and I was off in a new direction. I've been keeping notes on our frack fighting experience. When this new great adventure is over, I hope to put that information somewhere that people might read it.
The board of supervisors will render a decision on the first of the two frack pads this week and as I strive not to look at that outcome as a referendum on my life's work for the past two years, it kinda will be. This ending (or half ending, there's still another hearing and decision that will happen in early 2022) is an apt time for reflection. Getting really informed on one environmental topic brought all kinds of new issues into my life. I've been thinking about the way I interact with the world, what difference I can make, and slingshotting wildly between hope and despair. My growing tendencies toward anti-consumerism and desire to #breakfreefromplastic have been reinforced by the climate action community and decimated by modern life in the real world. Here are just a few victories and setbacks experienced during two fairly isolated pandemic years.
There is no way to realistically #breakfreefromplastic in southwestern PA. Taking the advice of very wise Twitter advice-givers, I picked a couple of things and tried to replace them with zero-waste alternatives. The results were mixed.
Eco-Strips Laundry Detergent: A delightful concept, a cardboard sleeve of pre-measured detergent is delivered in eco-friendly packaging. Each load of laundry takes one sheet of detergent stuff. No measuring liquid. No plastic. Should be wonderful. It was for a while until I noticed that the washing machine smelled like death. Or sewage. Or dead sewage. Now I have to use old-fashioned Tide most of the time and earth-saving laundry strips occasionally. The clothes (and washing machine) smell good, but it all feels like failure.
Dish Washing Block: Sort of weird to use because it's bar soap. For dishes. I got over this and learned to lather and then wash and it worked for a while. It seemed like it clogged the kitchen drain and made it so the water backs up unless the disposal is running. Obviously, this might not be the dishwashing block's fault, but I went back to mostly using Dawn in the plastic bottle of failure. The sink is back to draining moderately better than it did during the dish block trial.
Eco Bamboo-Charcoal Floss: The little plastic floss container isn't creating a whole lot of waste, but I did read that the Oral-B Glide floss preferred in our home was full of carcinogens and then I just couldn't enjoy oral hygiene. Enter bamboo floss in an adorable refillable glass container. This has been an absolute delight and a total victory.
Seventh Generation Dishwasher Packs: Another attempt at consuming less chemicals. Did you know that dishwasher tabs interact with the specific water chemistry in your home and either make the fats from dirty dishes into little globs that rinse down the drain or alternately turn your dishwasher into a grease coated hellscape? I do now! I actually called the company and got my money refunded for this failure.
Just not buying stuff. Not buying stuff is a bit too subjective for the failure/victory narrative. Do we still buy stuff? Yes. Is it usually stuff we can eat or otherwise use to keep ourselves relatively healthy? Yes. Do we still have way too much stuff? Yes. It's fair to say that we're consuming less since we're putting out less than half the garbage at the curb each week than we were two years ago. Unrelated fun fact: we now pay twice as much for garbage pickup. Yay!
Knowledge is power that sometimes forces you to buy stuff from the devil's Amazon. Much of the frack fight is centered around the health impacts of the extraction industry. Air and water quality are adversely impacted and the air in Allegheny County already isn't great. But I'd been soldiering on in the face of copious reading on the illnesses brought on by benzene exposure and TENORMS and whatnot. I made it through two summers without allergy medicine (mostly because allergy medicine started giving me migraines, but still). I was drinking lots of water, not thinking about what might be in it, and feeling good. Then I started with sinus symptoms in November. A few weeks later, the sinus pain had a good friend in ear pain and a corresponding headache and I started to think this might be related to the plume of woodsmoke that rushes into our home every time the door opens. We can identify at least four neighbors burning extremely smokey fires to heat their homes. Those particles are in here, says the internet. There's no way to keep it out. And so, environmentalism led me to the purchase of a HEPA air purifier made in China. Hopefully, not Uyghur China, but I didn't think of that until the friendly unit was already here. Buying a big hunk of plastic to counteract actual smoke from one's neighbors: fail.
Not that the world needed me to prove that individual action is not the answer to the climate crisis, but my list does lean in that direction. It seems we're all looking for a way to feel good, physically and emotionally, while waiting on the sweeping systemic change that could really make a difference. It won't be sweeping, but for now, I am cautiously optimistic that next week's vote on one well pad in one tiny part of SWPA will be affirming of the work I've done outside of these failed "green" consumer purchases.
More Than a Protest Sign
Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) suggested a way for white people to support protestors after the murder of George Floyd was to stand in front of local police precincts with a sign that says: End White Silence.
We probably should do that here where I live, but the silence around white supremacy and systemic racism is thick in our community. I don’t even think people would understand the message.
I can imagine someone yelling something, anything so they could declare, “I did it. I’m white and I make noise all the time.”
The SURJ advice didn’t seem quite right for me or my immediate neighborhood, but I made the sign anyway and took it on a 30 minute journey to the city where there was a peaceful vigil for victims of police brutality. I hadn’t even figured out where to stand when a black man approached me and asked:
“What does that mean? White silence? What would it mean to end it?”
I’ve thought through this question extensively and was immediately able to offer an explanation with about four examples. This, you should know, is unusual for me. I’m a writer. My brain to mouth connection is really weak. Ask me “what do you do for fun?” and I’m likely to sputter until you give up and walk away.
But on this day, I explained that sign easily because white silence has been my life.
White silence prevented the little community church where I used to give so much of my time from issuing a statement condemning 45s racist “go back” tweet last summer. Other churches made statements, but we don’t talk about those things here. The pastors are sure to give extra time for silent prayers. Those are our favorite kind.
White silence made me too uncomfortable to push back when a fellow volunteer announced she didn’t want to hang a flyer in the Tarentum Family Dollar store even if they do have a bulletin board because “we don’t want those people coming to our event.”
“I think we want everyone to come, Heather,” I said. But I knew by ‘those people’ she meant black people. We can’t make each other feel uncomfortable though and I used to tell myself that if I pushed too hard, I wouldn’t like what was said next about ‘those people.’ Better to let them keep it in. Better if they’re silent.
White silence allows the MAGA hats and flags and signs to pepper our suburbs and rural areas along with “support the police” and thin blue line flags. No one pushes back, even when it’s a confederate flag flying. We don’t ask what it means to the person displaying it or what it is they like about the current occupant of the White House.
White silence is advertised on our township web site in a series of high definition videos touting our police force (we have a lot of 'em) and our safety (did we mention we have so many police?).
Our white silence ensures the kids in our community will grow up just the way we did. We can't change what we don't acknowledge, and that is obviously the point.
What would it mean to end white silence? Lots of uncomfortable social interaction. Deep conversations. Self-examination. But at the end of it, we'd emerge from our fear. We could fight against injustice. We could make America great for the first time.
I brought the sign home and kept it. Perhaps someday I will have the courage to take it to the township building. That would definitely start a conversation.


to be mediation. And if they’ve done all that, it goes before the tribunal, which decides whether they get that order.
But, if you were already in arrears before the laws were introduced, they’re not retrospective, even if it was because of COVID.
If you’re in rental arrears because you are poor, and you lost your job for another reason before COVID, you’re not protected by the laws.
Also, what you’re seeing is landlords saying they will reduce people’s rent, but it’s actually only a deferral that you have to pay back later.
So, people who can’t afford to pay one rent, will eventually be paying two rents, in order to pay back their landlord.
So, people are building up debts?
In our view, it should simply be the case that no one should be evicted, rents should be either suspended or reduced to 25 percent of someone’s income, which is what is considered affordable.
And if they’ve got no income, then it is nothing.
You staged your protest in St Peters last week in a socially distanced manner. However, unlike some other rallies that have occurred during the lockdown, the demonstrators involved were not located inside of cars.
How did the authorities react to the way in which you staged your protest last week?
Officers went around and told everyone that they were in breach of the Crimes Act. That it was an unlawful assembly. And on top of that, under the public health orders they could be fined $1,000.
But, on top of the core group, there were people who were turning up out of pure empathy to support this tenant.
It is an incredibly reprehensible abuse of the public health orders. And there’s far too much scope for selective, unprincipled, intimidating police discretion with these orders – that’s how they’ve been implemented.
Absolutely. It has highlighted how vulnerable our renters are to any sort of change in their economic situation.
As for the rental market, you’re right to have a house is conditional on what’s in your wallet. That’s not acceptable.
There is a huge problem with a lack of affordable and secure housing. So, it’s particularly annoying that, but there is no construction of public housing to create jobs, to stimulate the economy and to address the huge social need.
That more than anything highlights how the government’s response has tilted much more to bailing out business than helping the community and the people at the bottom.
And lastly, Adam, what’s next for the Housing Defence Coalition from here? Are there a number of potential evictees on your list? And do you expect any further changes to tenancy laws in this time of COVID-19?
We would like to see the laws shift dramatically in tenants’ favour. We would like the eligibility to be covered by those laws to be far greater.
But, until that happens, there will be case after case of either landlords breaking the laws or taking advantage of inadequate laws.
You can now be evicted for other things that aren’t based on being able to pay the rent during COVID.
So, a whole range of people who may have lost their jobs and can’t pay the rent because of the pandemic, may have their landlord make up an excuse as to why they need a no grounds eviction.
So, we will definitely continue to reach out to people, see if they need help, and then deliver that support.

With the total of major league salaries crossing the $2 billion thresholds and continuing to increase, teams are very leery of parting with young talent. If prospects pan out, those deals can come back to haunt the clubs that gave them up.
It would make all kinds of sense for a team to hold on to its best prospects and just sign Santana a year from now—but there's no guarantee that the club will get Santana. He figures to command a minimum of five years at $100 million and perhaps as much as eight years at $200 million. If the Yankees or Red Sox decide they have to have Santana, very few clubs can compete with them.
If the Twins decide to trade Santana, it will be a rare chance to acquire a true No. 1 starter in the prime of his career. Minnesota will have no shortage of suitors.
I expected him to be Los Angeles' starting third baseman in 2006, but he spent the entire season in Double-A, topping the Texas League with 71 extra-base hits and again starring for Team USA. I figured he would start for the Angels this year, but I was wrong again. He got just nine starts and 33 at-bats in his big league and hit 23 of his 24 homers in Triple-A.
With Figgins hitting .330 and Reggie Willits emerging as an outfield supersub in 2007, it may be difficult for Wood to crack the Angels' 2008 Opening Day lineup. But he's still just 22 and he's still one of the best power prospects in the game, and his time will come soon. He strikes out a lot and he might never hit .300, but he should grow into an annual 30-homer hitter and play solid defense at third base. He's capable of playing shortstop, too, though Los Angeles doesn't need him there.
Though it has taken longer for Wood to claim a big league job than anyone envisioned, that won't ruin him. He'll still be a star once he gets his chance. The Angels aren't looking to trade him, though if he was the key to acquiring someone like Johan Santana, he might be on the move.
A pitcher's ability to hit can make a very real difference in his chances to win. According to the always-useful baseball-referenc e.com, Owings created 9.6 runs per game as a hitter (or rather, a team of nine Owings would have created 9.6 runs per game), compared to an average of 0.8 runs per game for the Diamondbacks' other three primary starting pitchers. So if Owings went six innings, at the plate he was likely to produce .65 runs more than Arizona's other starters would, obviously a significant advantage.
But when it comes to evaluating a pitcher, his hitting ability is just the cherry on top. Owings has been a gifted hitter since he popped up on the scouting radar, ranking third all-time in national high school history with 69 career homers and starring as a two-way player at Georgia Tech and Tulane. But very few pitchers can hit like Owings, and scouts focus almost solely on their ability to prevent runs and don't worry about their skill at producing them.


My problem: I'm worried are vasty overshadowing NSMBU for me. They just seem so much better (and they kind of are). What to do...
Good-Feel, where are you?
Really disappointed that nothing happens when you get all the star coins including SS road ones. Mario World had a little treat when you finished star road. I guess I'll keep hold of it for a replay at some point, some levels I really don't know how we would have done without boost mode!
Stop being so correct!
On another note, can anyone else agree these level designs are some of the best in the Mario series to date?
@GCM, the bosses are nothing compared to the actual levels. Look up some!


21 adults and it housed us perfectly. We catered for ourselves on site as we have a number of cooks among us but can see it would be great for organised catering too.
We had little wanders around Ipswich but the main attraction was indeed the old Neptune itself.
We stayed at the Neptune for two weeks, with a changing cast reaching a peak of 22 (inc. 4 kids). The location near the waterfront is great for restaurants, and the spacious courtyard gives you an island of private serenity. In the sunshine you could almost be in a (tudor) Mediterranean villa.
Small plus points worth noting are that the kitchen knives were sharp, and the dishwashers actually cleaned dishes. We've stayed in too many high-end self-catering houses that have been let down in these areas.
I hired the Old Neptune for a mid-week business trip and it ticked all the boxes.
First impressions on arrival were great. What a beautiful house with bags of charm and charater. It has great living/communal areas and the bedrooms are all very individual and finished immaculately. I loved how it felt like a labyrinth, with all its staircases and many tucked away rooms.
Peter also arranged for us to have a late checkout on our day of departure so we could have a meeting in the morning which was really helpful. The housekeeper and her team worked around us despite having another booking arriving only a few hours later.
Thank you Peter and the team :)
20 family members (15 adults and 5 children) stayed for 3 nights over the 2nd May bank holiday weekend. I can honestly say I had the most wonderful time, the company of course was fantastic but was backed up brilliantly with wonderful accommodation. The Old Neptune appealed to young and old. Our favourite place was the amazing courtyard and thankfully we were lucky with the weather. We even managed a huge BBQ on the Sunday. We hardly wanted to venture out, but did wander the harbour, visited Isaacs Bar for lunch and the local park.
Me and my wife have two daughters (4 & 2 years old)

ThanksEdited: 10 May 2018, 16:22 </s> Into VFA at 12:25 pm on March 14 and depart VFA on
March 18 at 10:25 am. Originally planned just a Chobe day trip but after more research sounds awesome to do a flyover and a night on a river boat. Not sure if either is possible to arrange (boat trips seem to be 2 nights), not sure if the charters that originate from Maun and fly over the falls actually land there (if so I would like to get on the plane there and avoid the land transfer to Kasane). I do tend towards motion sickness and dont like to take meds but would do so for this 'once in a lifetime' opportunity. Solo traveler, not a big spender but if could get a good value based on time of year or joining into a schedule that is already going (vs totally 'private') I would spend more $ than normal for me. Will be arriving from 7 nights Kruger on my first trip to South Africa and after that just 3 'scenery' based nights in CPT. Ideas, insights? contacts? This will be my second Round-the-World itinerary and am typically proficient at DIY, joining a day tour once I hit my destinations. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! </s> We had a wonderful stay at Tranquility Cottage! We loved that the house had everything for our little one, that it was spacious and that we were close to all the major sites. The park was absolutely beautiful and it was so nice to have such a nice Cottage to come back to, to relax afterwards. It made us feel right at home!
We loved staying at Tranquility Cottage. It was quiet, comfortable and well stocked with anything one might need on vacation. The notebooks were super helpful, along with all the local guidebooks and historical materials. We loved being in the quiet part of Acadia, but took full advantage of the whole Park(except Bar Harbor, we never went there). We would love to return with our children and grandsons next year.
This rental was very comfortable (especially the beds) and peaceful. The little extra's like a List of Things to Do and Wi Fi were a bonus. It is a large home with lots of room. Definitely a place to consider.
Tranquility Cottage more than exceeded our expectations. Pictures don't do it justice. We had plenty of room. It was very quiet and super comfortable. Not far from a delicious lobster dinner. Wish we could have stayed a month. </s> Clean, tidy, comfortable and with everything you could want from a base to explore the islands. Almost central in the island chain made it very handy for exploring - lots of places to walk and a great variety of wildlife to see.
We have recently returned from our stay at Lily Pond Cottage and can thoroughly recommend it. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and clean, with a supermarket not far away and a quiet location. Ts, being centrally located

The central role of gene expression in regulating development has largely been studied by in situ hybridization and antibody staining techniques in fixed material. However, rapid temporal and spatial changes in gene expression are often difficult to correlate with complex morphogenetic movements. A green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish, Aequorea victoria, can be used as a real-time reporter for gene expression and could aid analysis of dynamic events during embryogenesis. Here, we describe a transgenic Drosophila line ubiquitously expressing a nuclear GFP fusion protein that highlights morphogenesis, cell movement, and mitosis in living embryos. The fusion protein is highly fluorescent when maternally supplied, but there is a long delay between its zygotic expression and the appearance of fluorescence. GFP is thus an excellent marker for the expression of stable gene products, but a poor reporter for dynamic zygotic gene expression in early Drosophila embryos.

"What are those?!" you might be wondering. They are catkins. A catkin is "a dense, elongated, and drooping cluster of flowers without petals. Most commonly, the flowers found on a catkin are of one sex. In some trees, such as the poplar, both male and female flowers are present. Catkins are typically found on trees which are wind pollinated, such as oak, birch, willow, and hickory." [source] I believe these catkins came from one of our Aspen trees (aspens are a member of the willow family). I left them inside the house for a few days after I took these pictures, and when I picked them up, they dumped yellow pollen all over my hands and the table. I didn't realize the important role these fuzzy little clusters played until the evidence was in-hand (get it?).
No "Picture Spring" prompt today. The prompts from the last few days have just done nothing for me - brought me no inspiration. So I decided to strike out on my own for today's photo. I couldn't choose just one to share, though...
Well, I didn't follow today's Picture Spring prompt, which was "The Sky is the Limit." We were supposed to take a photo of the sky, but it was pretty bland up there today, and I was already taking wildflower photos anyway, so.... here are a few of my favorite photos from today of my favorite "weed," the Dandelion.
My 30 steps landed me in our driveway, where I saw lots of things, but I ended up honing in on our birdbath and the little artful chickadee that sits there 365 days a year, hoping for a friend to join him from time to time. This is cropped from the original size and the saturation was greatly increased to give it a more surreal quality.
Here's my image to go with yesterday's Picture Spring prompt to photograph a morning ritual. These are items that are part of my morning ritual on the weekends when I count birds for Project Feederwatch during the winter months: binoculars, paper and pen, and DSLR camera.
What items would be in your morning ritual image?
The Picture Spring prompt for today was about photographing a morning ritual, but by the time I received the email with the prompt, I was already at work, and I didn't want to show work as a morning ritual, so I'll have to try that one tomorrow.
This is a house across the street from my office building. Interestingly, this is the only shot I took cropped in this close (and I even cropped it a little further with Picasa). All of the other shots included much more of the window and the outside view. I really like this image because it has a much more intimate feel than the other 16 shots I took, and because it's the most unconventional of them all. Just a note that the frame around the subject is not something I created - it's naturally part of the window frame. Also, the waviness of the old glass in this window gives a certain quirkiness to the image.
This is a month of new beginnings for me! I'm participating in a photo-a-day project called Picture Spring hosted at Big Picture Scrapbooking. As a result, I'll be posting a new photo per day for the entire month of April!
I'm also over on my new writing blog.

【期刊论文】Simulation study of a Ne-like Ti x-ray laser at 32.6nm driven by femtosecond laser pulses
李英骏， X. Lu， Y. J. Li， Y. Cang， K. Li， and J. Zhang， *
PHYSICAL REVIEW A 67, 013810 (2003)，-0001，（）：
A femtosecond laser driven collisional Ne-like Ti x-ray laser at 32.6nm is numerically investigated using a hydrodynamic code coupled with an atomic data package for a 100-mm-thick Ti planar target irradiated by a single or double prepulse followed by an intense femtosecond laser pulse. By using an optimized drive pulse configuration, a gain of 40cm-1 can be generated from a 5mm×50μm line focus using only about 1 J pump energy.
【期刊论文】Effects of delay time on transient Ni-like x-ray lasers
李英骏， Y. J. Li， ， X. Lu， and J. Zhang， *
PHYSICAL REVIEW E 66, 046501 (2002)，-0001，（）：
In transient collisional excitation scheme, a long (nanosecond) prepulse is used to perform and ionize plasmas. After a delay time, a short (sub-or picosecond) intense laser pulse is used to rapidly heat the plasma. This results in transient x-ray lasers with high gain. Effects of delay time on transient collisional excitation nickel-like x-ray lasers are investigated analytically using a simple model. The calculations show that the longer delay time can greatly relax the density gradient. This is very critical for the propagation of x-ray lasers. However, a too long delay will reduce the electron temperature of the plasma before the arrival of the short pulse. Increasing the intensity of the long pulse or extending the pulse duration can keep the temperature required to maintain a high percentage of Ni-like ions while the delay time is longer. Similarly, increasing the intensity of the short pulse or extending the duration can also raise the electron temperature, resulting in higher gain coefficient. Our results indicate that extending the pulse duration is more efficient than that of increasing the intensity.
【期刊论文】Characteristics of self-guided laser plasma channels generated by femtosecond laser pulses in air
李英骏， Hui Yang， Jie Zhang， * Yingjun Li， Jun Zhang， Yutong Li， Zhenglin Chen， Hao Teng， Zhiyi Wei， and Zhengming Sheng
With ultrashort laser pulses (25 fs) and low energy (E=15mJ), we observe laser plasma channels with a length over 5m in air. The diameter of the plasma channel is measured to be 120mm. The average electron density in the channel is inferred to be about 10 18W/cm3 with an interferometric method. At the same time, the temporal evolution of the electron density in the plasma channel is investigated. The resistivity in the plasma channel is measured to be less than 1V cm. It is suggested that the lifetime of the plasma channel can be greatly prolonged by launching another long laser pulse along the plasma channel.
【期刊论文】Hydrodynamic characteristics of transient Ni-like x-ray lasers
李英骏， Y. J. Li and J. Zhang*
PHYSICAL REVIEW E, VOLUME 63, 036410，-0001，（）：
A simple similarity model is presented to study the hydrodynamics of transient collisional excitation nickellike x-ray lasers. Scaling laws for the temperature, scale length, and electron density are obtained by analytic derivation. The hydrodynamic characteristics of transient Ni-like Pd x-ray lasers are investigated using this model. The calculations agree well with Dunn's experimental results.

An Ne-like transient collisional excitation x-ray laser at 19.6nmj (J-0→1.3P→3S) was investigated unmerically using a sopohisticated hydrodynamic code for a 100μm thick Ge plannar target irradiated by a nanosecond pre-pulse followed by a picosecond main optical laser pulse. The simulations indicate that for a given peak intensity, the main pulse has an optimal duration to generate the maximum effective gain, An effective gain as high as 200cm-1 was obtained for the optimized drive pulse configuration.

Av 1 - August 1, 2008 - partial eclipse .:10,11).
Again, Joel said:n the New Testament Gospel of Matthew, Jesus said:
In His Olivet discourse, Jesus described His glorious appearing at the close of the Tribulation Period. My guess (and its only a guess) is that the darkening of the sun and moon could be eclipses. Stars falling from heaven could be missiles used in the war. Powers of the heavens being shaken could refer to many nuclear explosions around the world, disrupting the atmosphere. The “sign” of the Son of Man, could be His actual appearance in “the clouds of heaven.” The clouds may be an ancient description of celestial vehicles, rather than simple clouds. The only clouds that prompt fear today is the kind with a twister coming out of them. Therefore, I think the term “clouds” is used to describe something that flies in the sky.
The Gospel of Mark repeats the Savior’s statemen” (Mark 13:242,).

great article! we are in such exciting times! this is exactly the kind of event that God would do to try and get His creation's attention. NOT a coincidence. NOT an accident. A "sign in the heavens" that cannot be explained any other way than GOD is doing something. Now the question becomes WHY? We think we know, but do we?
But NASA dates for the solar eclipse donot coincide with those dates mentioned.

BP-specific T cells that directly interacted with retinal cells and resulted in the active release of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), an important member of damage associate molecular patterns (DAMPs). Furthermore, blockade of HMGB1 in our murine model reduced intraocular inflammation via suppression of IRBP-specific T cell functions. These results have demonstrated that HMGB1 is an early and critical mediator of induction of intraocular inflammation. The present study identified the cell surface molecule that triggers HMGB1 secretion.
R(Wt) C57BL/6 (B6) mice were cultured with activated IRBP 1–20 peptide-specific T cells or with a Fas-activating antibody (Jo2) released HMGB1 was examined in the eye of Faslpr and Wt mice after IRBP-specific T cell transfer. Uveitis was evaluated in the IRBP-specific T cell transferred Faslpr mice after recombinant HMGB1 was restored within the eye and in the IRBP-specific T cell transferred Wt mice after they were treated with a Fas antagonist (Met12).
Uveitis is a common cause of human visual disability and blindness. Although the etiology remains unclear, it is generally believed that a T cell-mediated immune response underlies the pathogenesis, and this is supported by the observation that injection of autoreactive T cells into susceptible, syngeneic rodents induces experimental autoimmune uveitis (tEAU) [1–4]. Moreover, studies in the rodent models of EAU induced by immunization with a well-characterized uveitogenic autoshown that activation of autoreactive T cells is a key pathogenic event in disease induction, progression, and recurrence [2, 5–7]development and activation of autoimmune T cells in the periphery in EAU, it remains unclear how only a few infiltrating uveitogenic T cells can exert a pathogenic effect inside the eye, an “immune privileged” site, leading to tissue destruction [8, 9].
Danger signals0, 11], the latter being actively secreted from inflammatory or stressed cells or passively released from damaged apoptotic or necrotic cells. Both PAMPs and DAMPss, including TLRs, NOD-[10, 11]r signaling by most TLRs . The importance of DAMPs in T cell-mediated uveitis was identified as a result of our observation that in the chronic uveitis mouse model induced by transfer of IRBP-specific T cells (tEAU), a model induced without the use of microbial products and resembling human chronic uveitis, mice lacking MyD88 (MyD88−/−) are completely resistant to induction of tEAU .
In a search for DAMPs that interact with TLRs/MyD88 in tEAU, we previously showIRBP-specific T cell-induced intraocular inflammation, since HMGB1 antagonists reduce ocular inflammation by suppression of uveitogenic T cell functions, such as IRBP. HMGB1, one of the most important DAMPs released by cells, binds to TLR2 and 4 then MyD88 is recruited by the TLR adaptor protein Mal . We also found that HMGB1 is actively secreted within the eye within 24 h after IRBP-specific T cell transfer as a consequence of direct cell-cell contact between infiltrating IRBP-specific T cells and viable retinal cells . These results led us to search for surface molecules expressed on IRBP-specific T cells and retinal cells that mediate the secretion of HMGB1.
Fas (CD95) is well studied as a death receptor that induces apoptosis through the traditional caspase pathway, presumably one of the mechanisms of immune privilege that protect the eye from severe intraocular inflammation [15–17] Fas/FasL system can also inducethat are independent of conventional caspase-mediated apoptotic signaling [18–21]. Moreover, it was found that Fas activation induces rapid TLR4/IRAK4-dependent release of HMGB1, which contributes to Fas-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production by viable macrophages . In the present study, we explored whether Fas also mediated HMGB1 secretion by viable non-lymphoid retinal cells after interaction with activated IRBP-specific T cells. We examined HMGB1 release in the eye and ocular inflammation after injection of IRBP-specific T cells from immunized wild-type (Wt) B6 mice into Fas-deficient (Faslpr) mice and also determined whether early interruption of Fas signaling could suppress tEAU in Wt mice. Our results revealed the importance of Fas/FasL activation in the active secretion of HMGB1 from living retinal cells and its involvement in the early event of intraocular inflammation triggered by uveitogenic T cells.

ished, costs skyrocketed, and the sprawl was only pushed out to other counties’ open space. Soon, Sonoma’s farmland and the East Bay foothills were filled with the tract homes Marin had largely avoided.
Even though new growth was supposed to be directed into existing communities, the efforts of environmentalists shut development out of existing communities as well as West Marin, forcing development to the farthest reaches of the county. Developers were glad to accept: since every development project was going to be a battle, developers had to go where the big money could be made.
Low paying jobs increased
Transit options declined
Who needs affordable housing?.
People who need affordable housing aren’t the ne’er-do-wells. They’re just like you.
Back in 1972, Marin was a maverick in environmental stewardship. We wanted to protect our natural habitat by containing our human habitat. If we had kept up with the organic patterns of growth we were left with – our small, mixed-income and mixed-use towns – we might not be in the traffic nightmare of a situation we find ourselves in today.
Now, the only answer is to rediscover Marin's traditional development and reinvest in transit to realize the original premise of the city-centered corridor. </s> Jake and Hannah Eagle / "Conscious Language"/

A hundred residents attended the musical comedy “the Green Orange”, on the Cacaveli Bluezone, on Friday, August 4th.
Following the artistic creation workshop organized on the Cacaveli Bluezone from July 17th to 28th, the Association of Development of Cultural Actions (ADAC) presented the first of its show entitled “Green Orange” on Friday, August 4th.
Carried by young Togolese actors, “the Green Orange” is a musical comedy about the theme of xenophobia.
The first performance of the show was held in the multi-purpose hall of the Cacaveli Bluezone, in the presence of the cultural actors of the city of Lome.
Mixing comedy, singing and dancing, this show has met with great success with the public.


In 2013 an iconic luxury streetwear brand was born in Los Angeles by Jerry Lorenzo.
His vision was clear and his values stood solid as he named the brand Fear of God. Lorenzo forged his way into fashion by creating custom looks for Justin Beiber and designing for Kanye West. Needless to say, the Fear of God brand took off and you can probably catch your local fashion fanatic trying to save up for a piece of the 2020 Fall/Winter collection.
Jerry also used his time on IG to thank Meena Harris and Angela Rye for partnering with him and helping him to use this monumental occasion as an opportunity to inspire his two daughters.
Chances are that the KH2020 collection will be sold on a limited basis on the Fear of God website.

The recipe is from the Pioneer Woman, one of our favourites. I'm on a mission to try some American baking recipes as so far none of my British recipes have worked properly. Caster sugar doesn't seem to exist here so I'm having to use granulated sugar which I think is the problem. I either need to buy a food processor and grind the sugar before I bake (sounds messy!
Luckily this recipe worked a treat. These are some of the nicest cookies we've ever made. They have browned butter and coffee in them which tones down the sweetness of the M&Ms and makes them taste more "grown up?" The only thing I need to remember next time is to follow the recipe when it says to make teaspoon size dough dollops. My first attempts were much bigger and made huge cookies….not a bad thing but they all merged together!

WILKES-BARRE — It was a fun, old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration at Kirby Park Thursday, complete with snow cones, fresh-squeezed lemonade and funnel cakes.
Area residents participated in similar, if smaller-scale, celebrations across the region. A parade and ceremony, for example, were held in Wright Township; the event was expected to include an appearance by Katie McGinty.
“We’ll see,” her mother said. “This whole thing is awesome. We love the fireworks.”
Micah McDonald, 7, of Plains Township, took a spin on the Chinese swings, dramatically falling to the ground when exiting the ride. “It was ok,” Micah shrugged.
This year’s fireworks display was organized by Advanced Pyrotechnics.
The Hourigan, Kluger & Quinn law firm had representatives on hand at the park as part of its HKQ Kids project, handing out free bike helmets for its sixth year. “Safety is our first concern and cost savings is our second,” HKQ Kids project manager Sue Greenfield said. “Some families have five kids, and five helmets can equal the cost of a grocery list. So, we’re glad we can help.”
Every year, HKQ Kids hands out 1,500 helmets to children ages 12 and under. All, Greenfield said. Samara and Janessa Frazier, 7 and 6, picked out their free helmets while at the park with their mother, Megan Campbell.
Samara said she and her sister would test their new helmets just as soon as the fireworks ended.
Mountain Top’s celebration began with a parade along state route 309 and included a ceremony at the Wright Township Municipal Building. A flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony were held at the Veterans Memorial, and in true patriotic form, Col. Roger Schwartz and Michael Stair explained the Declaration of Independence.
If you missed an opportunity to view fireworks Thursday, take heart. Wright Township will hold its annual fireworks display at 6:30 p.m. today at the township’s municipal park.


Elisabeth Gill Spellacy, 86
Was Prominent Civic Leader
April 23, 1997|By CONSTANCE NEYER; Courant Staff Writer
Elisabeth Gill Spellacy, who died recently of a heart ailment, was remembered Tuesday by friends and family for her strong civic leadership and role as head of a prominent political family. She was 86.
Barbara Bailey remembered that the first time she and her husband visited New York, they went with the Spellacys.
``Going to New York City in those days was quite a trip,'' she said. ``She was very bright, brilliant. She was well-read, educated and she loved music, and she was very independent.''
Days after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Mrs. Spellacy was named assistant chairwoman of the special Red Cross war fund campaign to raise about $350,000 in the Hartford area. In 1943, she was named chairwoman of the Hartford Junior Red Cross, where she helped get young people to make bandages and other items for wounded soldiers.
Susanne Spellacy said her grandmother ``ran the household, but she was not a cook.
``After Grandfather died, she traveled all over the world,'' she said. ``She was in Vietnam during the Vietnam War; Cambodia, Russia and throughout Europe and Africa.
Her son, Bourke G. Spellacy, said his mother was an avid reader. ``She was politically strong-minded and pretty firm in her opinions,'' he said.
Born in West Hartford
Thomas Spellacy was an especially popular mayor because he gave all of his salary to charity. Dikes to keep back the Connecticut River were built during his terms, when the mayor's position had considerably more power.Thomas Spellacy also served as U.S. district attorney, assistant to then-U.S. Naval Secretary Franklin Delano Roosevelt and assistant U.S. attorney general.
Mrs. Spellacy's son served as assistant corporation counsel for Hartford and associate counsel to the Metropolitan District Commission.
Besides her granddaughter and son, Mrs. Spellacy leaves a daughter-in-law, Linda L. Spellacy of Hartford; and two brothers, Judge Thomas D. Gill of West Hartford and author Brendan M. Gill of Yonkers, N.Y.

Opening Remarks: After #35, I discovered that its actually pretty fun if you let the characters write the story themselves. You put them in a situation and then you let their personality "react" to that situation and thus the story tells itself. With #36 and #37, I decided to try something different.
It becomes even more intense for me when a reader points me to a past cartoon page that they consider their favorite. It makes me feel like I slip in quality over the seasons all the time. In #38, I plan to stick real close to basics but I won't forget to use the lessons I've recently leraned. Its also a ghost story. Wooo.
I originally made its story for a flash game I intended to do a long time ago. It was suppose to be a choose your own adventure comic where the reader made choices for the characters and it influenced the flow and outcome of the story. Flash is perfect for it because people won't be able to cheat it by changing the urls of the htmls on the browser's address bar. But because of the amount of work in making that game, I've decided not to go through with it for now. And, yeah, thats why the first page has a lot of talk about karma.

Well, while this comic set was in the making, a bunch of stuff happened in my life. Changes that can't be avoided. They distracted me a lot. Anyway, life goes on. :) Theres always the next story.


Not to be outdone by the cast of former spandex-wearing lead singers, Alice Cooper got down to business himself with "No More Mr. Nice Guy." The recent Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee blasted through "I'm Eighteen," and while Hairball served as a great backing band it still made no sense that Cooper didn't include his fantastic touring band. "Pretty soon it's gonna be 'I'm 80,'" Cooper joked after the song.
They dove back into their first record with "Deuce" but also visited their '80s catalog with "Lick it Up." They called the good doctor with the Simmon's staple "Dr. Love." The night came to an end with a finale of "Rock and Roll All Nite" with all of the evenings vocalist joining the band except for Joan Jett.

Activities for the last week of term and over the summer break.
Skywriting is another great multisensory experience.
It is good if you can show them what the numbers look like on something – maybe a chalkboard, interactive board, or written on big pieces of paper.
Number lines are great for children to start to visualize what numbers look like in a sequence. They are also great for number recognition.
Refer to number lines as you sing songs, or do chants. The more they use them the better they will get.
Hav Gh’!
In this game you are going to draw three circles in a row on the ground. These could be planets, or they could be lily pads, or currant buns or something else if you prefer.
 Then they are going to jump across the planets, saying one sound each time they land on a planet – e.g. ‘C-u-p.’ Then they jump off the last planet into space and say the word, in this example ‘cup.
Having fun with bubbles!!!
The glycerine is very much an optional extra, but it does apparently help the bubbles to get a lot bigger.
Make it a couple of days before. This allows it to settle.
Use a washing up liquid that doesn’t smell too fruity, to discourage any children that may want to drink it. Some washing up liquid smells delicious, and this is best avoided.

,Another drawing, composed of yellow and red, looks like it depicts an interior space with yellow walls that angle up either to a stairway or to a mystical triangle rising upward. Windows surround the space, and a floor, embellished with black and white triangles, is found as well. Like all of Guccione’s drawings, the space is crowded with the shapes of his invention, and also as happens with his work, it is hard to separate individual structures from the overall design. This does not mean that the art is overly intricate—instead, it suggests a teeming creativity, in which the function of the shapes is meant to indicate spaces that could easily be termed sacred. The spiritual suggestiveness we experience in a drawing with a thin gray bar dividing it in half, exists in the top part as a complicated array of triangles with black and gray stripes, which are right side up and upside down. It is hard to see houses in the patterning. On the bottom half, we see what looks like a pair of walls offering geometric forms, leading to double doors, above which is an abstract pattern. The content is so intricate as to be mesmerizing, balanced as it is on the cusp of visionary realism and nonobjective design.
Guccione clearly deserves greater recognition. He felt that he was a medium translating the forms he imagined into something visible. The art cannot be seen as belonging to the geometric formalism that was quite popular when he made these drawings. But that is of small matter; instead, he devised a planar geometry capable of suggesting architecture and the spiritual imagination. His designs record a desire to animate forms with implications that are impossible to note by sight alone. Thus, his intricate patterns, realistic or not, became a way of transmitting an inner vision. It appears that he was not much influenced by the art trends; this made him original in ways that are memorable.
