If a ball is thrown in, however crosses the line out of the field of play, then, without touching the ground a player from inside the field of play attempts to retrieve the ball using his foot, but fails and the ball goes off his foot and continues out of the field of play. Who gets the throw. I was told that it is a re-throw because the ball never entered the field of play. what is correct?
I'm a little confused by your description. You say the ball is thrown and 'crosses the line out of the field of play.' In order to cross the line and go out, it must logically have crossed the line and gone into play first. So if the ball was in play from the throw and then went out again before the player touched it, the throw would not be retaken. It's only if the ball never came into play (all of the ball always remained completely outside the line) that the throw would be retaken.
Whether the ball touches the ground or not, so long as any part of it is overhanging the line, it is in play. Any touch on the ball by a player after it has already wholly left the field of play, is irrelevant.
If the throw in is taken properly by a player the moment the ball is released at the throw and crosses / touches the plane of the touch line it is in play. If the ball does not touch the ground on the field of play and it is kicked out by another player the restart is a throw in to the opponents of the player who kicked the ball out of play from where the ball last left the FOP. The ball does not have to touch the ground to be in play.
If the ball is dropped by the thrower rather than thrown the TI is turned over to the opponents for an incorrectly taken TI.
If the ball slips from the throwers hand and falls then the referee would be entitled to allow the TI to be taken again He could also deem that if everything looked okay and the ball was thrown correctly but did not go very far he could simply allow play to continue. I have seen players take a throw in, execute everything correctly and then at the moment of release the ball slips without much purchase and enters the field of play. For me the ball is in play and we continue.
So even when the ball, from a throw, travels above the line then curves out - that's a new throw to the other team from where it went out.
So in your scenario, it's simply a throw in from where the ball left play, same as if the player miscontrolled it and kicked it out during normal play.

History Pages: 8 - Bear Flag Revolt
One version of the Bear Flag
The Bear Flag Revolt was another of the comic-opera events in California history that later chauvinists have attempted to imbue with patriotic significance (as they have with the 1836 Alvarado coup). On Wikipedia, the "Bear Flag Revolt" article was moved to the grander-sounding title of "Bear Flag Republic", even though no actual political entity or government was established. The Revolt is mainly notable as the unofficial beginning of the Mexican-American War in California. Some important early northern California persons could be discussed here, including Vallejo, Castro and Sutter, but we'll stick to those with local connections.
In the first half of the 1840s, political turmoil continued to grow in California. Many Californios (e.g. Alvarado) dreamed of independence from the far-away government of Mexico. Meanwhile, some of the increasing numbers of American immigrants had a different dream: to make California part of the United States. Some of the newcomers found work at Isaac Graham's sawmill (now Felton) or at Joseph Majors' Rancho San Agustin (now Scotts Valley) grist mill. Then, late in 1845, a harbinger of big changes for California came to Santa Cruz; John C. Fremont.
Fremont was leading his third surveying expedition to the far west, with legendary wilderness guide Kit Carson, when the start of the Mexican-American War was triggered by U.S. annexation of the Texas Republic in 1845. It took awhile for the conflict to spread to the Pacific coast, but by the time the Fremont party arrived at Sutter's Fort, tensions were high. Fremont's subsequent movements in California were hard to reconcile with a peaceful surveying mission. He sought out places where there were concentrations of Americans – like Rancho Zayante. It soon became apparent that Fremont was recruiting volunteer soldiers (assisted by Thomas Fallon) for his own soon-to-be-created army unit, which became known as the California Battalion. The older frontiersmen like Graham and Majors decided to stay home this time, but at least two of their adventurous younger employees answered the call and marched with Fremont in July of 1846 to Sonoma, to take charge of what the Bear Flag rebels had begun. William Blackburn became a 2nd Lt. in the new unit, and Paul Sweet also enlisted. These two men had only been in the area a short time, but returned after the war to become prominent locals. Blackburn was elected as the first American alcalde of Branciforte/Santa Cruz and, after the new state and county were established, the first county judge.
None of these pioneers got a statue in the park in Santa Cruz, let alone a city name like Fremont, but you can find their names on a few signs. The best local tribute to Fremont can be found in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. There's a local legend that Fremont, during his 1846 visit, camped inside the lightning-hollowed base of one of the Big Trees. So they named the tree after him and put up a nice bronze plaque. There's also a Fremont Avenue up the river in Glen Arbor.
A few years after the war, Paul Sweet moved out to the upper Arana Gulch area. To get to his old homestead, you travel on Paul Sweet Road. William Blackburn acquired and farmed much of the downtown Santa Cruz area south of Laurel Street. His house, built in 1854, is one of the oldest surviving wood-frame structures in the county. He also built a sawmill up Branciforte Creek, in an area still shown on USGS maps as Blackburn Gulch (upstream from where today's Jarvis Road takes off from Branciforte Drive).
In the aftermath of the Mexican-American War (or the Conquest of Alta California, if you look at it from the Mexican perspective), California became a United States possession. The Bear Flag Republic lasted only twenty-five days before Fremont's troops raised the Stars and Stripes. The Bear Flag itself, however, became [in modified form] the flag of the brand-new State of California in 1850.

Unveiled at the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix over the weekend, the Clio R.S. (Renault Sport) 16 made its star-studded debut at the Principality in the hands of Renault F1 Team driver Kevin Magnussen. Monaco's famous Grand Prix circuit was the site for a first look at a new concept car driven by Magnussen. By choosing Monaco, Renault Sport makes the link between Clio R.S. 16' both around circuits and on ordinary roads. The Clio R.S. 16 grafts the Renault range's highest-performing engine into a Renault Clio and features the colors of the R.S. 16 F1 single-seater.
Thanks to new working procedures involving teams from the worlds of motorsport and road cars, the incubation of the highest-performance road-going Renault Sport car ever took just five months.
Finding the ideal way to house the engine, transmission and cooling system of the Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R was a significant challenge. The exhaust system was also revised as a function of the engine's potential, while the suspension was engineered to match the car's outstanding performance characteristics. Careful attention was paid to the sound produced by the car, too, and an Akrapovič twin exhaust system was selected.
The design and development team dealt successfully with the constraints inherent in the Clio R.S. 16 project (body widened by 60mm, 19-inch wheels and optimization of the engine cooling system) to produce an expressive, sporty stance. The result is enhanced by an LED R.S. Vision chequered-pattern lighting signature featuring exclusive multi-faceted reflector technology.

Putin-Trump Unite In Desperate Bid To Stop "Deep State" Global Disaster

US Faces Ruin As Putin-Trump Unite In Desperate Bid To Stop "Deep State" Global Disaster
A grimly worded Ministry of Defense (MoD) report circulating in the Kremlin today says that the President Putin—President Donald Trump joint statement [English] just released at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Vietnam 2017 Summit warning that there is no military solution to the Syrian crisis is, in fact, a "desperate action" designed to stop a "Deep State" initiated global disaster from occurring—and one of whose first victims will be the American people, who are days away from seeing their gasoline prices skyrocket to over $8.00 per gallon, and that would place their entire economy in ruins. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]
President Putin and President Trump at APEC summit on 11 November 2017
Three hours prior to President Putin and President Trump issuing their joint statement, this report details, all of the leaders attending the APEC Summit received an urgent communiqué from Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association Limited stating that is was preparing to suspend all maritime insurance activities throughout the entire Middle East region within 48-72 hours unless "belligerent hostilities" ceased between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association Limited, this report explains, is one of the largest Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs in the world, and who, since November 2016, provides maritime insurance for oil tankers originating from Iran—and if these oil shipments are ceased, Iran's largest customer China would suffer a disastrous blow to its economy—which would then cause China to begin competing on the international market for oil creating a "domino effect" skyrocketing the price of oil to over $200 a barrel from its present price of $57—and would translate into the American people having their cost per gallon of gasoline immediately rise to between $6-8 a gallon, which would, in turn, crush their economy too.
A P&I club is a mutual (i.e. co-operative ) insurance association that provides cover for its members, who will typically be ship-owners, ship-operators or demise charterers. Unlike a marine insurance company, which is answerable to its shareholders, a P&I club is the servant only of its members. Both P&I clubs and conventional marine insurers are governed by the provisions of the Marine Insurance Act Marine insurers provide cover for known quantifiable risks, mainly Hull & Machinery insurance for shipowners, and Cargo Insurance for cargo owners. By contrast, P&I Clubs provide insurance cover for broader indeterminate risks, such as third party liabilities that marine insurers are loath to cover. Third party risks include a carrier's liability to a cargo-owner for damage to cargo, a ship's liability after a collision, environmental pollution and war risk insurance; (although some marine insurers are also prepared to cover war risks).
With the Sunni Muslim Arab Gulf kingdoms of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE all ordering all of their citizens to leave Shiite Muslim Arab country of Lebanon, this report notes, the stage is being set by the "Deep State" to initiate a catastrophic war against the Shiite Persian nation of Iran—and that President Trump's Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, just hours ago warned against by stating America would not accept a "proxy war" being fought in Lebanon—but with Secretary of State Tillerson then reversing himself by ordering "all foreign forces" to immediately leave Lebanon, but without his stating who exactly these "foreign forces" were.
In their urgent communiqué to APEC leaders, this report continues, Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association Limited cited such examples of American "incoherent inconstancies" as being the major part of their threat warning to suspend their coverage of oil tanker loses in the Middle East region—with their even questioning as to what President Trump was even control of—and as they example by noting that after Trump's Secretary of the US Air Force, Heather Wilson, sent out a grave warning that they urgently needed nearly 2,000 pilots—Trump immediately responded by issuing an Executive Order authorizing her to recall up to 1,000 retired pilots for active duty (called unretirement)—but that "Deep State" elements in the US Air Force immediately responded to by saying that they would not obey Trump's Executive Order.
These "Deep State" elements within the US Air Force disobeying direct orders issued by President Trump, this report says, include one of their main leaders named Lieutenant General Jeffrey Harrigian—who, just hours ago, shattered Trump's attempt for Middle East peace by shockingly stating, without offering evidence or proof, that the 4 November "false flag" missile shot at Saudi Arabia from supposed Houthi tribesmen in Yemen "bore Iranian markings"—which is an absurd claim to believe as it would mean that Iran always makes sure it leaves identifying marks when it illegally sells its weapons to Houthi tribesman in Yemen—but which, perhaps, they put a stamp on the side saying: "This ballistic missile was made in Iran, if found please return to PO Box 666, Tehran."
Not stopping at this "false flag" missile attack, either, to provoke a catastrophic Middle East war, this report continues, these "Deep State" warmongers are ratcheting up their propaganda attacks too—and that in the past 24 hours include their preparing to blame an oil pipeline explosion in Bahrain on Hezbollah forces from Lebanon, Saudi Arabia claiming that Lebanon has kidnapped one of their citizens, and an outrageous claim being made that Iran is building a military base in Lebanon.
To the hatred and vitriol coming against Lebanon from the "Deep State" elements within Saudi Arabia, this report explains, is due to Hassan Nasrallah, the third and current Secretary General of the Lebanese political and paramilitary party Hezbollah, last July (2016) slamming the Saudis before the entire Arab Muslim world (both Sunni and Shiite) by his stating the truth that: "The culture of Saudi Arabia is Wahhabi culture, the culture of Daesh (ISIS) and al-Nusra (al Qaeda), even with a changed name…it's a culture of killing and slaughter and siege and rejection of dialogue."
Hezbollah leader Nasrallah's slamming of Saudi Arabia, this report notes, was due to his paramilitary forces operating in Syria discovering the mass graves containing tens-of-thousands of Shiite Arab Muslim and Christian men, women and children who had all been tortured, beheaded and killed by the Saudi, Qatar and American supported and funded radical Sunni Arab Muslim terrorists belonging to ISIS and al Qaeda—and that has been designated as a genocide.
While the West ignored this mass genocide of Christians and Shiite Arab Muslims, this report continues, Shiite Arab Hezbollah joined with Shiite Arab Syrian, Shiite Arab Iraqi and Persian Shiite Iranian forces—all of whom, under the protection of Russian air forces, began liberating hundreds of cities and villages in both Syria and Iraq from the despotic reign of these barbaric Sunni Arab Muslims belonging to ISIS and al Qaeda—and whose final battles are being waged at this very hour in Rawa (Iraq) and al-Bukamal (Syria)—with al-Bukamal being the most fiercest battle due to its being the last refuge of ISIS leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi.
Shiite Arab and Shiite Persian forces (that include women fighters) celebrate victory over barbaric Sunni Arab ISIS forces in Syria on 10 November 2017
Important to note about Lebanon's Shiite Arab Hezbollah, aside from their battlefield victories in Syria, this report continues, is that in the aftermath of the 2006 Lebanon War, when they inflicted heavy losses on Israeli forces and declared "divine victory", they became the first Arab army in history not to be fully defeated in a war with Israel—with today their having emerged as a regional military power not only active in Syria, but also Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain, and beyond—and who are arguably "the most militarily capable nonstate actor in history".
The critical importance of knowing the massive military reach and power of Hezbollah, this report explains, is that when their leader Hassan Nasrallah declared just hours ago that Saudi Arabia had "declared war on Lebanon"—this grave statement invokes the entire Middle East as the battleground this conflict will be fought on—but only for a few days as it will, without doubt, go global nearly once it begins.
The "Deep State" elements within Saudi Arabia, though, are starting this war, not Hezbollah, this report details, as the Saudis have, apparently, taken Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri (who holds duel Lebanese-Saudi citizenship) hostage and forced him to go on Saudi television and announce his resignation—and which under Lebanon's multi-party ruling coalition constitution, puts Hezbollah in defacto charge of the country—thus allowing the "Deep State" and its allies to declare that Lebanon has now becoming a terror state.
Shiite Muslim Arab and Christian masses in Beirut, Lebanon, strike fear into the heart of Sunni Muslim Arab aligned "Deep State"
Also critically important to note about Hezbollah, this report continues, is that it follows the Iranian revolutionary concept of Wilayat el-Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist)—which is a doctrine formulated by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini that holds that a Shiite Islamic cleric—in this case, the Supreme Leader of Iran—should serve as the supreme head of government and leader for Shiite's worldwide—and that has "instructed" Hezbollah to suspend operations against Israel and begin targeting Saudi Arabia instead.
As to why Iran would "instruct" Hezbollah to begin targeting Saudi Arabia, this report says, is due to Iranian intelligence linking the Saudis to terrorist plots targeting Iran, and who recently warned: "Our message to Saudis from today is if we get angry, we will leave no trace of Saudis on Earth".
With everything in this "Deep State" dictated war escalating by the hour, this report continues, President Trump admitted that these enemies of his are, indeed, harming his efforts for peace—but who, also, vowed to maintain the existing military communication channels to ensure the security of American and Russian armed forces in the Middle East as the "explosion" nears—with all hopes for peace now resting on Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmanwho has "put the entire Middle East on a collision course"—and whose most dangerous phase is now active after the arrest of Prince Bandar bin Sultan—who is the "Deep State's" main operative in Saudi Arabia.
To the American people being allowed to know any of these true things as the fate of their nation, literally, hangs in the balance, this report concludes, is not to be seen—as, once again, their "Deep State" propaganda media is filling their minds with "fake news"—this time about a would be President Trump ally running for the US Senate, named Roy Moore—who, just 4 weeks for before his election, is being accused of sexual abuses against young women—but with the American people not being allowed to know that one of Moore's accusers worked for Hillary Clinton, another has a past littered with making false sexual allegations against other men, and that the Washington Post reporter who wrote the article accusing Moore, has a long criminal history, and in the past offered to pay money to anyone accusing Moore of something.

An interesting new Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) report circulating the Kremlin today detailing the just completed telephonic conference between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo notes that at the same time the Americans are expressing their desire for better relations with Russia, President Trump is "moving in for the kill" against the European Union by slamming them with punishing tariffs—while at the same time, Trump is driving a stake into the very heart of America's leftists with his remaking of the entire Judicial Branch of the tripartite structure that comprises the Constitutional United States Republic, and that will, undoubtedly, stamp his mark on his nation for, at least, the next 50 years.

I took Hoggie to the desk this morning to replenish his food and thousands of ants were swarming over his food and water.
I typically keep his dry food and bowls in a 9 x 13 baking pan for this situation. This way, I can fill the pan with water and prevent them from getting to the food. I keep his wet food on a dessert plate perched on an upside down bowl.
The problem is if food drops into the water, you don't notice it until the smell knocks you over so, I don't keep water in it unless I have an ant problem.
But I'm not smoking over it.
Hope you can get rid of them. I hate ants. But be sure to treat Hoggie to something special today-because it is National Cat Day!
I may just not tell him.
Well he is a pretty sharp cat - hope he doesn't hear it on the news - lol You will be on his list for a long time Dale.
I hate ants too!!! One year, before we replaced the door to the kitchen, they found a crevice in the wall behind the frame of the door and nested there. I had to call an exterminator, because even after using tons of vinegar (as I heard natural deterrent) they were still making their way through the kitchen to the food bowls, even empty. Every morning I was spending nearly an hour cleaning the kitchen floor, and outside, around the door, on the patio, cleaning drenching everything in vinegar. The exterminator showed me where they nested in the door frame and also put some traps in the backyard, and just like that, they were gone.
I hope you can soon find a way to keep them away from you and Hoggie!
I sprayed them with my deodorant.
It riled them and they left.
Coming back soon as a deodorized mob.
If I can't find my Terro I'm going to WM later.
I think it was Jennifer-Quit-05-01-14 who told me to spray a mixture of peppermint oil and water and that it would deter them. I did that on my side porch where the recycling bins live...I had SO MANY ants that it was creeping me out. I sprayed and unless it rains really hard and rinses all of the peppermint mixture away, I don't have any ants there any more. I sprayed around window sills and doorways to the outside to keep spiders away too. NOT a fan of either.
I use the peppermint oil for spiders - so far, knock on wood, I don't have an ant problem.
Jennifer-Quit-05-01-14 it works on ants too...I have recommended it to people and they have told me that they could not believe it and it smells SO GOOD. I have to spray around basement door...that's where the MEGA spiders like to show up.
I don't like ants either. They surely try to take over. We had the nest problem to and I not only found ants in empty bowls, but they some how made it into my cereal boxes and other things in my pantry. Needless to say war was on. We exterminated in and around the patio door in the kitchen. I hope your deodorized mob don't come back.
We had a pretty bad infestation of sugar ants in my area for a bit and I swear by the terro brand liquid ant bait. I struggled for months and then once I started using those, the problem subsided.
I get ant hills on my grass, I sprinkle powdered tide on them with a little bit of water and that worked. Also have used ant be gone, lol.
Thank you all for your comments, I've learned a lot about ants, and not having them, and just placed an order with Amazon for the Terro liquid and bite.
Even though I had the exterminator at the house last week, and told him about the ants too, it was not the main reason for the visit. It was the Palm tree roach who visits our home from time to time, making me scream like a crazy person!!! I used to have a bug man and twice/year good treatment kept them away. I don't want the every couple of months contract, so after my bug man moved, I did not have the treatments regularly.
So back to ants, they are the little ones looking for sugar, and he used some gel in on the sink and inside a pantry.
They don't bite, but I had to discard almost 2 lbs of sugar from a glass container, they are so small, the container's lid is so heavy, I would never understand how they got inside it.
Daniela-3-11-2016 I remember those roaches...one got under a paper bag I was using for garbage and the bag of garbage was moving across the kitchen floor...the cat was terrified which was NOTHING compared to MY terror. Those things are like small animals. I am NOT a fan.

Boom Boom Satellites in NYC
October 19, 2010 - tokyoguy
The nice folks at New York – Tokyo have asked us to plug an upcoming live appearance in the Big Apple by one of Japan's best rock artists. Boom Boom Satellites, supported by alternative rock band Zamza, will be playing as part of the CMJ2010 Music Marathon & Film Festival. You can check them out on Wednesday, October 20 at Bowery Poetry Club. Organizers said, "this is a special night that CMJ and New York – Tokyo have put together. CMJ badge holders will enjoy the whole night for free and only $10 for those without. Tickets will be gone very quick." You can find out more and pick up tickets here.
Brit music magazine NME has described BBS as "Like The Prodigy fighting Underworld with bloody big sticks." And their CMJ bio says the Tokyo rockers "offer a brutal clash of high-tech hooks, renegade rhythm and distortion-drenched guitar." Meanwhile, two members of Zamza are probably better known for their work with the hugely successful Judy and Mary. In a literary twist, the band's vocalist is also a winner of the prestigious Akutagawa Prize as well as a movie director.
Get a taste of BBS on YouTube:

A gentle touch, a hug, a moment of connection with someone else - that feels good no matter who you are. Pimi is a spider monkey who lives at Senda Verde, an animal sanctuary in Bolivia.
She has lived there since she was rescued, as an orphan, in 2011.
When Goska Swiatoczamigoski went to stay at the sanctuary, she and Pimi became fast friends. It's clear from looking at these two that they share a special relationship.
Pimi even pulls her in for a closer hug, like she's saying "I'm glad you're here."
When animals like Pimi are orphaned, they rely on people to give them the best life possible. It's clear that Pimi feels safe in the arms of her human friends.

Amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong
Gwyneth Paltrow's Netflix docuseries is full of pseudoscience and misinformation
Masha Goykhberg, Staff Reporter
The following series is designed to entertain and inform—not provide medical advice," the Netflix docuseries "the goop lab with Gwyneth Paltrow" warns before every episode. It would be a good sentiment, had actress Gwenyth Paltrow not referred to all of her pseudoscientific claims as "medicine," a term she uses to describe anything from shrooms and ecstasy to guided breathing exercises.
In September 2008, Paltrow started a lifestyle and wellness blog called goop. The G and P were for her name and the double O's were included, according to the New York Times, because someone told her successful internet companies have double O's in their name.
The website started out as a blog for travel, beauty and dieting, but a quick glance at their "Wellness" tab reveals that it is not simply that. It is chock full of "health tips." Certain things aren't actually that bad—there's a lot on the website about women's sexual liberation and mental health issues.
However, there are also articles that are downright dangerous. Others still are shameless cash grabs, like their recommendation of a $27 small bottle of essential oils because "energy practitioners suggest clearing your energy field once a week." It is conveniently located in the Goop shop, next to a $98 black tank top.
"The goop lab" is the logical next step to this blog. It features Paltrow and a handful of her employees talking about and trying out alternative medicines. Like goop.com, many of the messages aren't dangerous. Some ideas, specifically that people should open up more and people with chronic pain should meditate, are even good.
But, like goop.com, the show quickly turns to pseudoscience. The first five minutes of the first episode already fall into the fallacy of the ancients: People have been using shrooms to treat things since the Dark Ages, why don't we?
The "support" for many of Paltrow's claims sound real because of her use of scientific jargon, but, when closely examined, are actually based in nothing. For example, "the goop lab" refers to psychedelics as a type of "healing modality" and asserts that certain breathing exercises will "turn your muscles completely alkaline."
The second episode, which features those breathing exercises, is their most egregious offense. Paltrow invites a man named Wim Hof to her show to teach people how to get rid of chronic pain, eliminate disease and turn their lives around all with special breathing and cold water.
While there is evidence that Hof is able to do extraordinary things like regulate his body temperature and reduce cold symptoms, his method is dangerous. What "the goop lab" doesn't mention is that multiple people have died from it. In fact, "the goop lab" carelessly breezes over any possible side effects from the treatments they suggest, citing singular case studies as their evidence that something is irrefutably real and useful.
Still, I could have forgiven "the goop lab" for every single one of its offenses, if it were just a good show. Ultimately, it's just a splicing together of a bunch of different scenes that don't provide a common thread or narrative. It's just Paltrow and her employees doing drugs while they drip with privilege and a lack of self-awareness, all interspersed with personal interviews of "case studies."
If you're really interested in a scientific/medical docuseries, I would recommend "Ask the Doctor," a 2017 Netflix series featuring real medical professionals. Or, if you prefer the podcast format, "Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine" is an ongoing medical history podcast that has recently started delving into modern issues—and yes, they have a goop episode.

Blue Bell CEO calls post-recall layoffs 'agonizing'
The ice cream maker is laying off more than 1/3 of its workforce, and hitting another 1,400 with furloughs.
By Matt Wilson
The listeria contamination that resulted in Blue Bell's ice cream being removed from store freezer cases and three documented deaths has now claimed hundreds of jobs.
According to a press release from the company late last week, 750 full-time employees and another 700 part-time employees will be laid off. That represents 37 percent of the company's workforce. About 1,400 additional employees will be furloughed. Yet another group of employees will take pay cuts.
"We're all part of one team, and we tried to keep everyone on the payroll for as long as possible," Blue Bell CEO and President Paul Kruse said in a video message.


We ought to stop and periodically review our lives in light of God's Word. Very often this is all it would take to alert us to a dangerous trend or to confirm that we're heading in the right direction. Haggai 1:5-6-7 Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: "Consider your ways! "You have sown much, and bring in a little; you eat, but do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes." Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Consider your ways! There is never a point in life in which we should stop learning and growing. We must always be diligent, active, attentive and painstakingly industrious by evaluating ourselves frequently and honestly. 2 Timothy 2:15 …Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
So many of us are afraid of change, but change is what life is all about. Good change, positive change, change that comes from being honest with myself. Lord, let me examine what works and does not work for me. Give me the wisdom to check my thoughts, behaviors and patterns and make sure they take me to the place of positive growth.
For better or for worse, one way or the other, I will change!


A leisurely ride for a day at the beach with various food options. Well maybe not a day but an hour or so. Bring beach garb and gear, a lock ,rain gear on case, spare tube and plenty of water. A spare tube and metro card are always recommended. I may change this to a straight out ride since I heard bad things about the ferry. Bring $$ for lunch, a lock and the usual urban assault gear.
I will be at Summer Streets if you prefer to meet there.
Rain at the start cancels the ride!

Study Indicates Switch to Natural Gas May Not Slow Climate Change
By Erica Peterson
Published September 26, 2011 at 11:30 AM EDT
As federal policies make burning coal more expensive, many utilities—including Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities—are transitioning their older coal plants to natural gas. But a new study cautions that natural gas may not be a panacea to stop the effects of climate change.Natural gas is cleaner than coal. When you burn it, it releases fewer pollutants into the environment. But a new study by National Center for Atmospheric Research climate scientist Tom Wigley says switching from coal to natural gas won't halt climate change, at least in the short-term. He calls the transition a "double-edged sword.""On one hand, it would make the world a little warmer but on the other hand, it would reduce the effects of pollution," Wigley said.Phasing out coal would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, but natural gas drilling and transporting results in a small amount of leaked methane."The leakage rate now might only be 2-5 percent," Wigley said. "But that's still significant because methane is such a powerful greenhouse gas."Also, sulfate aerosols released by coal burning reflect solar radiation back into space and actually have a slightly cooling effect on the atmosphere.Wigley says his findings don't mean that coal is better than gas, just that there are many factors other than carbon dioxide that should be considered when deciding climate policy.Wigley's paper is scheduled to be published in the peer-reviewed journal Climatic Change Letters next month.

In Learners By Victoria 7000
The difficulty of the English language
In studying any foreign language or any other field of knowledge, we find that a certain material is given to us easily, and with an understanding of other problems. Therefore, we try, where possible, to learn something that is the soul, or that we more closely. That's why we sometimes divide people into «technicians» and «humanitarians». The first costs nothing to learn technical disciplines, and second only amenable to the humanities. However, no matter what group you belong to, you still may need English. And, hence, the difficulty of the English language have the same deal. What we mean by that?
Learn English, we may face some situations that are obstacles in the learning process. This is the difficulty of the English language, which we have to overcome in any way if we want to master the language sufficiently well. Firstly, this pronunciation. To achieve a nice pronunciation, similar to that of a native speaker, it can only be spoken of long-term practice. This way you can get rid of an accent. Very good to practice pronunciation in any English-speaking country.
In parallel with the pronunciation is another difficulty of the English language — the language barrier. In most cases, a person who has a vast knowledge of the English, unable to communicate at ease using the language. Fires language barrier — fear made many mistakes in conversation, hence the silence. Winning is a feeling of fear and stiffness can be the same way in which pronunciation is fulfilled. And you can often communicate with native speakers.
Another difficulty is the perception of the English language the English listening comprehension. The fact that native speakers in the conversation do not always use the complete form of words, grammatical structure or desired characteristics. Their speech is not slowly and smoothly and fast and jerky. Add to this list has focus and get an explosive mixture, which many heard panicked. Do not get lost while practicing listening, talking to native speakers, noting the pronunciation, you can achieve good effects in understanding spoken English.
Grammar, in the opinion of many people, generally is one continuous difficulty of the English language. Although, in fact, there is not all that bad.
Of course, the Russian people is quite difficult to understand the system of the British era, which represented 16 forms, but if it is good to understand, it will lose its status as «the difficulty of the English language.» From the grammatical concepts I would like to highlight the articles (of which we do not have at all), modal and phrasal verbs. Everything else, even the most complex grammatical constructions — within our understanding with a strong desire.
We are also in the difficulty of the English language record our inability, or unwillingness to think the inability in English, and then to speak the language. Of course, thinking in their native language better, and look for a matching and translation from Russian is also easier only by the sound is not in English. Try to think in the language you are studying, and eventually all of your problems disappear.
And finally I would like to give advice. If you are faced with the difficulty that seems insurmountable, do not give up. You can always refer to the tutor or to take some English lessons on skype, which will help you to cross the barrier and caused to move on.

That said I have had to create an authentic kitchen which now nestles in the basement of Piccadilly Terrace.
Lord Byron would have had no interest in the design or practicalities of any kitchen for his attitude towards food was for the most part ambivalent.
The Regency fashion for delicious cuisine left no impression upon him and in his journals he confessed that he would frequently go for days without eating a substantial meal preferring a diet of 'hard biscuits and Soda water'.
History would indicate that Byron clearly did not trust her taste, however that is another story!
Anyway, I hope that he will now trust to mine as I have designed a kitchen for any respectable Regency cook to be happy to work in.
Although the kitchen in the Regency era was very different to the modern and convenient kitchens of today being a place of hard toil in uncomfortable conditions with limited light they still retain a charm that is easy to recreate in miniature.
The design for the kitchen here at Number 13 has been inspired by the Georgian kitchen within the beautiful Fairfax House in my hometown of York.
Time for a cup of tea and a biscuit I think!

In my first article about alternative energy, I offered nine ways that we can generate electricity using renewable sources. For the most part, the methods discussed in that article have been tested, researched, and are familiar to the lay person. In this article I will shift gears slightly and discuss some forms of energy that aren't as well known as the others I have talked about before. Please keep in mind that some of the methods I will present here may be highly impractical (for the foreseeable future) or just plain out of this world. But perhaps at least one of the following strange energy production methods will one day become an integral way that civilization generates its electricity.
I'm not just talking about pedal power here. If you have seen the movie The Matrix, then you have seen the potential power that the human body can generate. There are two main ways that humans can be utilized to generate electricity to power external devices. The first method utilizes motion and movement to generate electricity. Devices that harness bodily motion can include things like kinetic generators as well as crank-like mechanical devices.The second method generates energy by utilizing the radiant heat generated by our bodies.
Kinetic devices are generally passive and generate electricity as you do normal tasks throughout the day such as walking, eating, and breathing. Kinetic generators are already in use in many pieces of technology including wrist watches, pacemakers, hearing aids, and even a few smartphone prototypes. Its foreseeable that kinetic devices could become so powerful and efficient that they could charge a typical cellular phone or even a laptop computer simply by walking around.
Mechanical devices, such as bicycle generators, are active devices that generate electricity only when the user is turning the crank. There are many instances where the electricity generated by this method has been used to power a television set or even a desktop computer. Most often the efficiency of this type of activity is on the order of 2.6-6.5% and has already proven its viability on a large scale operation. Just take a look at some of the human powered gyms that Hong Kong has.
The second method involves capturing the heat that is naturally radiated from our bodies by using a biothermal device. These devices already exist on a small scale and are being used to power pacemakers. The great thing about this form of energy creation is that no actual movement is needed to generate the electricity (just calories burned).
If you have ever been to a rock concert, then you are certainly no stranger to the deafening power of sound. Since sound is a vibration that travels through a medium, it's possible for that energy to be captured and redirected into some power generation mechanisms. If a speaker can convert electricity into a sound, then a piezoelectric sensor would be the machine that could do the opposite. Most sound to energy devices that exist utilize piezoelectric devices to directly convert vibrations into energy. There have already been prototype cell phones that can charge themselves simply by speaking (or yelling!) into the microphone.
There have been plenty of other concepts for ways to generate electricity from sound, but most have aren't viable on a large scale. Most of what science has to offer at this time is a novelty item at best. However, one concept that may prove useful on a large scale is a device that uses a large "drum" to move air in and out of a chamber as it vibrates. This moving air turns a small turbine which is then able to generate electricity. Perhaps someday "sound farms" that generate power from the ambient sounds of our noisy world will become just as common place as wind farms are.
Another energy concept that utilizes piezoelectric sensors is the idea of converting the impact energy of raindrops into power. Imagine covering your roof with these devices and being able to live off of the grid every time a nice storm rolls around. Better yet, why not combine rainfall energy harvesting techniques with that of solar plants. In essence you could have a power plant that generates electricity from the sun as well as precipitation.
The latest research into this technology has shown that rainfall has enough energy in it to power many of the small devices we already use everyday. If the efficiency of these devices can be increased, rainfall energy may become practical on a large scale.
Yes, there are ways to generate electricity from pee! According to the Royal Society of Chemistry, researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory created a microbial fuel cell (MFC) capable of generating electricity from urine. In the experiments, just 25ml of urine was able to generate 0.25mA of electricity continuously for a periodic of 3 days.
While utilizing pee-power to run your computer seems highly impractical, consider the abundance of this chemical in our world. Each person on in the USA generates about 2/3 of a gallon of urine per day and most of it ends up in the wastewater stream. When you factor in your the waste generated by pets and farm animals, the amount of urine available each day for energy production is enormous. Imagine if all of that liquid waste was recycled and used to power our world? Perhaps in the future urine could become as valuable as any other material for our power needs.
What happens when you combine the concepts of geothermal energy with that of the urban heat island effect? You get a new source of energy that's what! Typical urbanized environments experience unnaturally higher temperatures due to the fact that so much of the ground surface is covered by asphalt and concrete. These materials have the ability to retain lots of heat. Anyone living in Arizona will confirm that the pavement can get quite hot in the summer. You can literally fry an egg on the street because it is so hot (people have also been hospitalized because they tried to cross the street with bare feet).
The concept to generate power is simple, inside of the asphalt pavement is a serpentine system of pipes that circulate a liquid such as anti-freeze or water. The water is warmed up and could be pumped into a heat exchanger located inside of a nearby power plant. The heat can be used to generate steam to turn turbines. Alternatively, the warm water can be used directly in lieu of using traditional or solar water heating methods. Another concept allows the natural circulation caused by the water's increase in temperature to turn turbines directly. With all that heat being stored in our infrastructure it may one day prove viable to harness the energy of our urban heat islands.
What Is Noise and How Is It Measured?
I didn't know all these!
Interesting. I came across an article the other day about piezoelectric pads which could be built into the steps of stairs and this could generate power as people climbed up the stairs.
The question is would the benefits outweigh the initial capital cost of the infrastructure? Some alternative energy systems may be high capacity and it would be worth it, others would only generate small amounts of electricity. However this might be advantageous in situations where power isn't available, devices only need a small trickle of current to keep them running or where battery replacement is inconvenient. e.g. heart pacemakers.
I've often thought of a battery which would use sewage or wastewater flowing between the plates acting as an electrolyte. This could power remote instrumentation in a treatment plant. I think the plates would probably be consumed over time though.
Interesting concepts. Schools and other buildings often have a separate room for band, choir and such with extensive soundproofing - wonder if you could use the sound pressure to run lights or something instead of soundproofing the room? Using the sound should quieten the room - if you take the energy out of it there isn't much left.
I also had a neighbor once that ran pipes all under his blacktop driveway; in the summer he pre-heated the water coming into his hot water tank and in the winter he ran it backwards, melting the snow from the driveway. It worked, though I doubt he saved much as melting snow that way would be expensive.
We really need to look into new ways of solving access to energy and in this hub there are some very interesting ideas! I wouldn't mind to run around for a few minutes to charge my computer or use my pee, that would be great. Local energy that is always available, could it be better?
By they way, elephant poo and dog poo is in some places used for biogas.
But we may also need to use these valuable products as fertilisers further on, as we need to replace the fossil fuel based fertilisers we use today.
sir i have lot of ideas about electric generations.also help full mind for hubs in future.
Awesome ideas... some are so funny too like using urine to generate energy. I work in power generation line and these ideas are totally out of the box - creative !
I like this hub very much. Very interesting content. Voted up and interesting. I'll have to read more of your hubs now.
Calvin - I agree that these forms of energy generation, as a well as others, will eventually become an integral part of our electrical network. Diversification of our energy infrastructure is necessary.
Aficionada - Yes, costs should decrease over time; the future is exciting. Plus, the more people who realize the potential energy stored in everything all around us, the more people that will begin to research how to exploit it.
eric2112 - That's right Eric, a world of possibilities! I do believe that there is no end to the ways that we can create energy to power our world.
Exciting and fascinating ideas! I would love to see some harnessing of the abundant kinetic energy expended on an elementary school playground.
Even if some alternative energy ideas are not cost-effective now, it's probably true that the cost would decrease as the use increases, just as often happens with other technological advances.
This is awesome and there are definitely some facts that I was not aware of such as the urine to electricity piece. I also saw on Discovery Channel that there have been great strides in creating hydrogen fuel from termite excrement.
I believe that we have a world of possibility out there, we just need to use our imagination and be open minded.
Thanks for the great Hub. It was a really good read!
Don Bobbit - Haha I suppose anything is possible! You never know what the science community will cook up in the future.
AH! But take the Energy of a random wounded Soul and try to measure it's Output!
OMG, if we could just harness this overlooked source of energy?
jkrygiel08 - Yes! Pee just may be a what we need to power the needs of the future. Pee is one thing the world will never run out of!
Energy from pee? I like it. Let's start using our waste for creating energy. Good Hub!
ShermanMorrison - They are indeed pretty interesting! It just goes to show you that there is a plethora of energy creating opportunities all around us at any given moment in time.
John J Gulley - Thanks, I certainly had fun writing and researching this one.
Excellent article on some VERY alternative forms of energy. Keep up the good work!
Rachelle Williams - Yes the human power idea is indeed awesome. Wouldn't it be great to be able to charge a cell phone or laptop just by walking around or better yet...eating? I would buy it if it were available.
WillStarr - More energy efficient technology is one of the key drivers in allowing devices such as peizoelectric sensors to even be practical for any use. However, there is still a place for hand cranked radios and flashlight! I have a few of those tucked away in the garage just in case I ever need them. Thanks for reading!
Kris Heeter - Yes you are Correct! Other forms of animal waste, like cow manure, has been shown to have great energy producing potential. However, most research in this area is centered on turning the manure into the methane fuel. This process is different than the microbial fuel cells that the latest urine research utilized.
Today's electronics just sip energy, but the older, tube type equipment really sucked up the power. Hand cranked emergency transceivers would wear out a strong man in mere minutes.

How Many Solar Panels Do You Need for EVs?
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. and around the world for their environmental and performance benefits as manufacturers launch plug-in EV models across their fleets. And whether you own an EV or are interested in purchasing one, there's a fair chance you'll be in the market for a home charging port for your EV battery as well.
There are fewer public charging stations on the road than traditional gas stations. As such, it's reasonable to want to buy one that is readily available for use at your residence. It's convenient and, in some cases, necessary.
Most home charging ports source energy from the electric grid. However, it's possible — and much more sustainable — to source energy from solar panels instead. Attaching solar panels to your EV charging port at home will save you significant money since some EVs require a large amount of electricity to fully charge.
Here we'll take a look at how different types of EV batteries (and their battery sizes), as well as your solar panels' efficiency, determine the number of panels you'll need to charge your car.
What Size Is Your EV's Battery?
You need to determine the capacity of your EV's battery before you can see how much electricity is needed to fully charge it. EV battery capacities are measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and range anywhere between 17.6 kWh and 200 kWh.
The five EVs with the highest battery capacities include the following:
GMC Hummer EV: 200 kWh battery with 329 to 350 miles of range
Rivian R1T and R1S: 135 kWh battery with 314 miles of range for the R1T, and 316 miles of range for the R1S
Lucid Air: 118 kWh battery with 520 miles of range
Mercedes-Benz EQS: 115 kWh battery with 350 miles of range
Tesla Model S and Model X: 100 kWh battery with 387 to 520 miles of range for the Model S, and 335 to 371 miles of range for the Model X
Ask your dealership for the most up to date information if you're unsure how to determine the battery capacity of your current EV, or one you are looking to purchase. Once you know the EV's battery capacity, you can then calculate the amount of electricity needed to charge it.
The size and efficiency of your solar panels will determine the number of them you need to generate an appropriate energy supply for your EV battery.
Does Solar Panel Efficiency Matter?
The number of solar panels you need to power your EV as well as your home depends on:
The manufacturer and type of solar panels you choose
How much sunlight is in your area
Your home and driving energy usage
Some solar panels are more efficient than others, so you won't need as many to meet your energy needs. SunPower solar panels are the best choice on the market for efficiency — their A-Series panels have an efficiency of 22.80%.
The top companies for the best residential solar panels include the following:
REC Group
Q Cells
JinkoSolar
[Related: Who Makes the Best Solar Panels?]
How Many Solar Panels Do You Need to Charge Your EV?
A typical solar panel is 250 watts and will generate about 30 to 42.5 kWh of energy on a monthly basis. On the lower end of that, you'll be making about one kWh of energy per day. This means you'd need around 75 solar panels to charge a Tesla model S to 100% every day if it starts at 0%. Your EV likely won't be as low as 0% every time you charge it, making this a conservative estimate.
If you install high-efficiency SunPower panels, which are rated up to 420 watts per panel, you could generate up to 54 kWh of energy per month or 1.8 kWh per day, which means you would only need 42 panels
The average travel distance for a driver is 39 miles per day, equating to about 12 kWh of electricity. As such, you'll need 12 solar panels (that have standard efficiency) for your charging needs.
However, if you drive less than the average 39 miles per day and own more efficient solar panels, you'll need fewer than 12 panels for your EV charging needs. Investing in high-quality, efficient solar panels is better in the long run.
Additionally, the average home in the U.S. requires between 19 and 34 solar panels to fully cover electric bills. You should expect this number of panels to increase with the addition of an EV to charge.

The oil price has fallen dramatically since last summer. This has meant difficult times for the oil producers, including companies such as BP and Royal Dutch Shell.
…people have been buying more fuel-efficient cars, and there has been huge investment in technologies such as hybrid, electric and fuel cell vehicles.
So supply has been steadily increasing, and demand has been falling, and the world now has too much oil. Oil prices have begun a downtrend; and I don't think that this fall will just last a few months, before bouncing back. read more

Home/Reviews/Welcome Back, Doctor
Welcome Back, Doctor
kakitaSeptember 18, 2012
I don't know why. Maybe it's because I've been overdosed on River Song. Maybe it's because I REALLY NEEDED a dose of Space Western. Whatever it is, this week's Doctor Who really hit the spot.
This week's Doctor Who episode 'A Town Called Mercy' is by all accounts quite a by the book sort of episode. Doctor comes to familiar yet kind of weird environment (Wild West with Cyborgs), Doctor finds out place is not what it seems. Doctor gets a shiny new hat (one of these days I want to see Matt Smith in Jayne's beanie). Moral quandaries abound, tempers flare, impassioned speeches get made and we (usually) find out the world is better for humanity being… well… human.
[Possible… kinda… spoilers below?]
To be honest, I kinda felt a bit meh about last season's Doctor Who. I was never a big fan of River Song (I feel she ended up being overplayed by Moffat the same way Rose was overplayed by Davies), and last season was like… all River all the time. It feels like Moffat tried to do a big reveal like what he did two seasons back, only this time it was a little bit more of a let down than the season before. I really liked the season before.
It didn't help that they kind of meh'ed up the Angels either. They were the scariest things I had ever seen in Blink, but time of Angels kind of diluted them and made them into B-grade villains. The Silence were also pretty creepy at the last of last season, but then I think (like all Unknowns) the more you find out about them the scarier they are.
I feel like this season seems more like a return to form (or at least thats what I get from the first few episodes), which makes me a very happy TARDIS camper. Last episode was so-so (dinosaurs aside), and the first episode Asylum of the Daleks was a little bit kludgey here and there, but I especially liked the whole 'turning the dalek thing on its head' in the last few minutes, and the incredibly amusing Dalek chant (Doctor… WHO???? /dalek) was well worth the time spent.
And this week… I think that the Western thing really made it work for me. First up, I like the fact that BBC is making use of the whole 'filming bits in America' bit. Last season's Americans didn't work for me. Or maybe it's because Firefly has left a gaping hole in my heart that I'm constantly trying to fill. Or maybe it's the fact that I love the homage to Yul Brynner's cyborg in 'Westworld'. (I'm not sure if the gunslinger is anything LIKE Yul Brynner, but I seriously got a westworld vibe there.) Whatever it is, SPACE WESTERN YAY.
Besides, Doctor Who (and really almost all Sci Fi) truly comes into form when it waxes philosophical, and we get that in this week's episode. How do you treat a war criminal? Is someone even a war criminal if he kills hundreds to save millions? And isn't all this anger (righteous or not) kind of hypocritical?
These are questions that I liked being asked in my Doctor Who episode. And even if the resolution is semi handwaved, I'm ok with that, because I would rather have the audience think about what happened rather than have the Doctor decide for us. If the past few episodes are any judge of this new season's Doctor, then I'm pretty excited.
GERONIMO!
