Marshall: Moss to return, but Woodburn-Hall likely to stay in side
Halifax are likely to recall Australian full back Kieren Moss to their 17 for Sunday's Championship trip to Barrow (3.0), although coach Richard Marshall hinted there could also be a spot for the man who replaced him against Batley, James Woodburn-Hall.
In-form Moss, who is on a season-long loan deal from Super League outfit Hull KR, missed the 50-12 thrashing of the Bulldogs after taking a break pre-booked to coincide with Super League's blank weekend.
In his absence, young Londoner Woodburn-Hall scored one try and carved out two more for wingers Will Sharp and James Saltonstall in a performance that provided another glimpse of his long term potential.
"James was very good," said Marshall, whose side go into the weekend in fourth ahead of a crucial month of fixtures that also sees them play top four rivals Featherstone, Toulouse and London.
"It would be difficult to leave a player out after a performance like that, but the challenge for him now is to back that up in practice, put a run of games together and reach that level consistently.
"Kieren is likely to come back in, which gives us some decisions to make in terms of the way we put the team together.
"Overall, I don't think we want to make too many changes; we're not resting players now, we want to keep playing.
"We talked about giving Shane Grady a rest last weekend, but in the end the player and my coaches convinced me otherwise on that one.
"I've spoken to Castleford about potentially getting James Green and Will Maher, but they both played Super League last weekend so I think that's unlikely to happen at this stage."
Nor is Marshall expecting Frenchman Walid Bourgeba, signed from Lezignan on a deal until the end of the season, to figure on the Cumbrian coast.
Bouregba, who can play anywhere in the pack, is the club's third new loan recruit in as many weeks, joining and Wigan back rower Macauley Davies at the Shay.
The Frenchman, whose move has been funded by supporters' group LS28, was recommended to coach Richard Marshall by New Zealander Vinnie Anderson, who now works as a coach and player agent in France.
"Walid is a promising young player who wants to develop here and play at the highest level," said Marshall, said the under 23 international was likely to play in Thursday night's reserve team fixture against Keighley at the Shay.
Boss's delight as Fax cut out errors and end losing run against Widnes
"He's still young, but his work ethic is fantastic and we see him fitting in really well.
"He flew in on Tuesday and trained with us on Tuesday night.
"We'll see how he goes on Thursday, but I suspect the Barrow game might be too early for him."
After a bright start to their first season back in the Championship, Barrow are in a miserable run of form and go into the game on the back of successive thrashings at Featherstone and Toronto, having having failed to field a full 17 in either game.
"They're hard to read, but I think you'd be foolish to take too much from those last two performances," said Marshall.
"They've had some injury problems, and they had some visa issues for the game in Canada, but they are always a different team at home.
"I think they've only lost a couple of times up there in the last two seasons and we're expecting them to have a good 17 out and be really strong.
"They've got a massive front row who set the platform for them and they're unpredictable with the ball.
"If we're not switched on and ready to play, we'll have a hard afternoon in front of us."


well i swear im better then those pivot nubs everyone knows that to right ?
Hey CrazyAnimator. Please don't put down people by not giving any real constructive criticism. Stating that "many animators that use pivot are better than him" is really a huge discouragement. I know Blizzardstrike himself put down pivot users by called them "nubs" and "crap makers," but you still shouldn't make hurtful comments. Thanks.

Designing data center electrical distribution systems
Designing efficient and reliable data center electrical systems requires looking through the eyes of the electrical engineer—and the owner.
By Eduard Pacuku, PE, Jacobs, Philadelphia September 17, 2014
Understand the preliminary considerations of designing data center electrical distribution systems.
Know how to design efficient data centers that can also accommodate growth.
Identify the codes and standards that apply to designing data center electrical distribution systems.
Data centers are among the hottest developments in the technology world. The growing needs of the Internet of Things have forced the biggest players in the computing world to spend billions of dollars on new multi-megawatt data centers. This boom in data center construction is largely fueled by the growing use of cloud services, which has put a strain on server capacity (see Figure 1). Additionally, data centers are considered mission critical when their operation is of importance to organizations' economic or functional needs. Even a disruption of a few seconds in the operation of certain types of mission critical data centers could cost millions of dollars.
This article explores data center design through the eyes of both the owner and the electrical engineer. It also discusses the key components of data centers and touches on the codes and standards that apply to data centers and their components.
Data centers, many having servers as their main components, need electrical power to survive. It is, therefore, only natural that any talk about building a data center should begin with figuring out the electrical needs and how to satisfy those needs.
Capacity: Before deciding anything else, the owner must decide the capacity of the data center (in megawatts). In previous planning efforts, it was common to use W/sq ft. However, today it is more common to discuss kW per rack, which may vary from 5 to 60 kW. This power concentration per rack can also drive cooling system type and capacity, which must be planned for in the capacity. The owner also needs to consider future capacity.
Another big decision is to determine the level of redundancy. Reliability is very important for data centers, and disruptions are costly. But the cost of building a data center increases significantly with higher reliability. Therefore, the owner should decide where to draw the line, and determine how much risk is acceptable.
Auxiliary power: After the data center capacity is decided, the facility power must be computed. The facility power includes data center heating and cooling. A focus of recent years is to make the facility (non-data) power as low as possible to improve efficiencies and lower operating costs. To address the efficiency of facility power within a data center, the term "power usage effectiveness" (PUE) was coined. The closer to unity the PUE is, the smaller the nonproducing facility power is.
Years ago, it was normal to account for the facility and cooling load as being half of the total power delivered to the data centers. That means that if a data center had a capacity of 10 MW, the facility and cooling load also would be 10 MW, leading to a PUE of 2. PUE equal to 2 is deemed to be average efficiency, but not satisfactory to many data center owners. New technologies have pushed the PUE very close to unity.
Reliability and tiers: To classify data centers in terms of reliability, the Uptime Institute created standards referred to as Tiers (see Table 1). Data centers are classified in four Tiers. Tier I data centers don't have a redundant electrical distribution system, and their components don't have redundant capacity. Tier II data centers differ from Tier I data centers in that they have components with redundant capacity. Tier III data centers have dual-powered IT equipment and more than one distribution path to the servers. Tier IV data centers have all the features that Tier III data centers have. In addition, Tier IV data centers are fault tolerant in that they have more than one electrical power distribution path. Tier IV data centers have HVAC equipment that is also dual powered and have storage capacity.
Determining which Tier to select depends on numerous factors. Many organizations used to have large consolidated data centers, which led to choosing a Tier III or Tier IV system. Also, many organizations involved in financial industries choose Tier III and Tier IV systems. Other organizations choose to have multiple data centers that can handle data needs when another center goes down, leading to an ability to use lower Tier systems.
Usage: Data centers are also categorized according to their usage. These include data centers serving a private domain, such as a corporation or a government entity; data centers serving a public domain, such as Internet providers; and multi-user data centers.
Power distribution: Currently, there is debate about what kind of electrical power to use to feed data centers. Should it be ac or dc? Each has merits. Recently, dc power has received increasing consideration because data center computing equipment uses dc power. Having dc power distribution eliminates the need for transformers and ac-to-dc converters on the server floor. Using dc also eliminates harmonics because there is no switching of power. In addition, using dc eliminates conversion steps, which leads to higher efficiency (each conversion step introduces losses), thereby decreasing cost.
However, ac has been the dominating form of power distribution for many years (see Figure 2). The benefits of ac include readily available equipment, lower costs, and easier maintenance (because the maintenance crews already know the equipment and the spare parts are readily available). Historically, most ac power distribution systems were designed at 208/120 V. The ever-evolving technologies have helped make the case for using higher ac voltages at 400/415 V, and even 480 V because of the higher power demands and efficiencies delivered by newer electrical equipment.
PUE: Another important factor in data center design and construction is PUE. The closer the PUE is to unity, the better. A data center with PUE of 1.5 is considered the middle line of efficiency. A PUE above that number shows an inefficient data center; a data center with PUE below 1.5 is considered to be efficient. A data center with a PUE of 1.2 is considered to be very efficient. The most important part of a data center is the IT equipment. If there were no supporting (auxiliary) loads, the PUE would be 1. Because the auxiliary loads are necessary, the PUE is always greater than 1. The auxiliary loads include HVAC loads and small electrical loads, such as lighting and receptacles.
After the owner decides on the above considerations, the work of the design professionals begins, especially for the electrical engineers. Electrical engineers have to come up with a design that is efficient, has enough capacity for future growth, and avoids unnecessary frills.
Power distribution elements: There are many parts to electrical power distribution. It starts with utility transformers, which in large data centers are owned by the data center's owner. After the power is stepped down from the utility transmission voltage to the distribution level, it goes through distribution switchgear that redirects power to where it is needed. Typically, the power must be stepped down again, more often than not, via substation transformers and through more than one path. The standby power, usually present in today's data centers, is often introduced at this level, bringing with it the automatic transfer switch equipment. From the ATS, the power goes to the servers (often via a UPS system), where it switches from ac to dc power to be used by the servers. The next layer of distribution includes switchboards and panelboards that feed the auxiliary load, HVAC loads, and regular house loads. Power monitoring systems could also be employed at this point, which could provide very important information on how different pieces of equipment are working and how power is being used.
Going through so many pieces of equipment requires meticulous work. The design professional must be mindful of the cost of equipment and cables and also the losses introduced by each piece of equipment. Having so many pieces of electrical and mechanical equipment means that the engineer also must be mindful of many codes and regulations associated with these designs.
Relevant codes: The relevant codes for data center design professionals include ANSI/TIA -942-2005: Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers, NFPA 70: National Electrical Code, and ASHRAE: Standard 90.1: Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. Other very important codes include International Building Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Fire Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Energy Conservation Code, NFPA 72: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, and NFPA 90A: Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilation Systems.
Depending on the size of the data center and the type of building hosting it, other codes such as NFPA 13: Standard for Installation of Sprinkler Systems, NFPA 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 10: Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, NFPA 101: Life Safety Code, NFPA 110: Standard for Emergency and Standby Systems, NFPA 780: Standard for Installation of Lightning Systems, and NFPA 20: Standard for Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection may apply.
Utility service: As with any other project, designers start by considering the utility service. Because of the importance of reliability, owners must engage early on with the utility company to discuss the service. Depending on the size of the data center, the service options include a separate dedicated utility line or an existing, very reliable line.
The electrical designer, in close collaboration with the owner, must decide how many layers of equipment will be there. The more equipment introduced, the more points of failure are present. In mission critical facilities, it is important to avoid single points of failure.
The utility service will most likely be medium voltage. Depending on the size and location of the data center, the service could be between 13.8 and 345 kV. The next step is to step down the voltage to a level usable for the servers. Most data center IT equipment works with dual voltage, 100 to 120 V ac and 200 to 240 V ac. The higher voltage—208 or 240 V—increases efficiency, thereby lowering losses. Having servers powered at 415 V ac further increases data center efficiency, making for a better PUE. If the designer decides to use the higher voltage, 415 V, the auxiliary mechanical load would then be at 480 V. This means that autotransformers must be used to take the power from 415 V to 480 V.
At what point does one decide to convert the medium voltage to low voltage (below 600 V)? The answer to this question depends on the size of the data center and the distance from the service drop. If the data center is part of a campus, the data center can be quite far from the service drop. If that is the case, it is preferable to distribute the electrical power at a voltage level as high as possible, typically 13.8 kV. If the service voltage is higher than 13.8 kV, the first transformation will be at the service entrance, stepping down the voltage from whatever the utility voltage is to 13.8 kV. This power is delivered to the data center where the second transformation takes place, stepping the voltage down to 480 V or 415 V.
Redundancy: What sets data centers apart is the level of redundancy. But everything comes at a price. The more layers of redundancy that are added, the more expensive construction of the data center becomes. Granted, having a data center blackout (or brownout) is very expensive as well.
The servers, by design, come with two power supply options. In addition, they are backed up by batteries. Therefore, there are two different normal power supplies to each server. That means that the servers would be served from two different substations. To be fully redundant, the substations need to be fed from two different utility lines. In the best-case scenario, the utility lines have a tie between them at some point in the electrical distribution system, and each utility line has enough capacity to carry the entire load of the data center. This scenario describes a fully redundant, normal power data center (see Figure 3).
The normal power redundancy is very important, but it is not enough by itself. The normal power is often backed up by a standby system. The standby system is generally composed of generators, which could be diesel, natural gas, or a hybrid. Diesel generators are the preferred type of generation because they are reliable machines and can be easily maintained. Depending on the type of building the data center is housed in, the generators may or may not be part of the life safety system. Nevertheless, the generators are usually set to be ready to back up the power system very quickly, usually in 10 to 30 sec. The time depends on how long the server backup batteries can last.
Although designing a data center's electrical distribution system may seem straightforward, there are inherent challenges. The electrical engineer must:
Work closely with the owner to determine current and future data center capacity.
Work with the owner to decide which data center Tier would be appropriate for the client's needs.
Work closely with the owner to determine the level of redundancy.
Design a system simple enough to be easy to operate, but one that is also robust.
Eliminate single points of failure.
Design a very efficient system with the goal of achieving a PUE under 1.5.
Apply the relevant industry codes and regulations.
Designing data centers is complex (see Figure 4). Building data centers is very expensive, as is their operation and maintenance. Continuous collaboration with the owner is extremely important—more so than in any other type of project. The successful completion and implementation of the design depends on that collaboration.

Alarplasty procedures are becoming more popular in a world where appearance does matter. This procedure reconstructs the nostril portion of the nose and the alar base, which is the portion to the underlying section of the nostrils that is attached to the face. A lot of people would like to lessen the aspect of flared nostrils and make them less pronounced. Alarplasty is the perfect solution for this and the surgical method is relatively simple and involves cutting a very small piece of tissue from the bottommost area of each nostril, closest to the alar base. This is an outpatient procedure and it is done with local anesthesia, so it is a minor surgery which can be completed in a matter of hours with the patient being able to go home and rest right after the surgery is over.
First, the surgeon must do an initial evaluation to see if the patient has any health factors that might complicate the surgery; candidates who have disorders and diseases such as diabetes, cancer, or anemia will require a closer examination by the physician to ensure the patient's safety and that the procedure will be a success.
Upon acceptance of the candidate by the surgeon, he will advise the patient to refrain from smoking and modifying intake of medications that might affect the surgery. The surgeon will most likely give the patient the choice of receiving general anesthetic or local anesthetic. The surgeon will then proceed to remove a designated amount of the nostril tissue with a small scalpel right at the area where the nostril base connects with the soft tissues of the face.
The surgeon will decide which incisions are best for the patient to avoid any scarring and other complications after the surgery. After each nostril has had a small wedge of tissue removed, the surgeon will realign the nostrils to the faces contours to ensure an optimal new appearance. Then the incised areas will be sutured up and the doctor usually sends the patient home. The entire surgery time is usually less than one hour and often only thirty minutes. Healing time takes about two weeks and it is important to follow instructions given by the surgeon, nurses, and staff to hasten the healing process and avoid any complications after the surgery. The patient should not engage in any strenuous exercise for two weeks nor rub the nose area intensely when showering or blowing the nose.
The patient's new appearance will give the individual new pride and self-confidence, especially when friends comment on it favorably. MedAsia Healthcare Complex in Thailand is one of the best facilities to receive this kind of cosmetic surgery because of the expertise of the surgeons in this area of cosmetic surgery and also because of the affordable pricing. Altering one's appearance is a huge endeavor and it is important to find an experienced, caring, and attentive doctor to perform this service. Our medical board of trained professionals at MedAsia Healthcare Complex will provide the best advice, care, and service available in Thailand.

The Crack -Toronto's new poo-themed dessert café
Few things shock us these days, but a new café concept in Canada is really putting the old adage of 'you are what you eat' to the test.
The first poo-themed dessert café has opened in Toronto this year and is causing quite the stir among locals. "I'm trying to make poop cute," explained owner Lien Nguyen.
Inspired after a trip to Taiwan to see her mother and a visit to Modern Toilet, a similar poo themed restaurant which has been open since 2004, Nguyen was struck by the unique concept.
"It's funny to put food and poop together. It's a great comparison…As soon as I finished school, I said 'I'm going to bring the restaurant to Toronto'."
Opening in Toronto's Koreatown, Nguyen's café will feature an all-brown menu with stool-shaped treats such as traditional Thai, Japanese and Korean desserts (e.g. Patbingsoo - red beans with ice) and of course, chocolate ice cream.
While enjoying their faux-faeces fro-yo, diners will sit on fake toilets and have their meals served out of lavatory and urinal shaped dishes. Canadians will even have the opportunity to vote on meal names before the menu is finalised, adding the cherry on top of this sundae of conceptual toilet humour.
The idea seems to have proved a popular one with similar-themed restaurants already open in Russia, South Korea, the Philippines, China, Japan and Indonesia.

25:1 Student-Teacher Ratio
International School of Monterey
Parent: All 3 of my children attend and it is a wonderful school with amazing teachers. The curriculum is challenging and is taught organically. The children are not just stuck reading their lessons in a book inside a classroom but are out in the actual environment and taught to work together to understand each topic. The inquiry based learning helps the children to retain the information. They are exposed to working as a team, public speaking starting in K and problem solving all which are crucial 'real life' lessons. They teach Spanish starting in K and all of my children are now bi-lingual. Great school.
Bay View Academy
#476 Best Public Middle Schools in California
Parent: Top Administrators are inexperienced and out of their league. There is a rich community environment. I'm hopeful their project based academics will actually prepare my kids for high school! Computers in the classrooms have largely replaced books. Their enrichment programs are where the school shines. Art, music, spanish, pe, and electives make school fun for the kids. Parents are heavily involved and there are lots of field trips connecting students to the local community. The school is head and shoulders above public schools in the area. High teacher turnover and growing pains are difficult for families to go thru.
Monterey High School
Monterey Peninsula Unified School District, CA
#492 Best Public High Schools in California
Senior: Monterey High School played an integral role in making me who I am today. The community that it establishes between students and staff makes for a culture that makes you feel safe and completely part of a whole. I've never gone to a school where the teachers and staff so genuinely cared about the physical, mental, and academic wellbeing of their students. I've had several teachers throughout each of my years spent at Monterey High that helped me get through some of the roughest points in my life thus far. There were days where I got out of bed and got ready in the morning purely because I knew that my teachers would worry about me if I didn't show up that day. Monterey High has it's faults, sure. Some of the arts programs are underfunded and some of the sports programs are overfunded. But that's any school. What Monterey High lacks in its occasional misgivings is more than made up for in its school spirit and dedication to community building. Go Dores!
La Mesa Elementary School
George C. Marshall Elementary School
Parent: This school has a mixed basket of teachers, but I have been overall satisfied with the education my children have received here.
The majority of students here are military and the #1 super power of this school is how well they do with students that are continuously transitioning in and out of the school.
There is an after school program within walking distance for military families with transportation provided.
I knocked off a star for one bad but significant experience. When I requested a more challenging class for my TK daughter who could read at a 1-2 grade level and was getting bored with learning letter sounds, there was no accommodation. I ended up homeschooling that year and moved her to a different school this year.
My daughter in 1st grade constantly came home bubbling with excitement about what she had learned that day, questions that we could discuss at home, and a reasonable amount of meaningful homework.
Foothill Elementary School
Seaside High School
Senior: I like that Seaside High School is very diverse. You see students from all different types of backgrounds/ethnicities. Also, there are so many resources to succeed in academics and support programs that prepare students for college. Personally, I have really benefited from Gear Up and ETS because the staff is so helpful and they have guided me throughout high school providing me with informational workshops and field trips to college campuses. Something I would like to see change is more support for the athletic departments because not all sports have the same support. Overall, Seaside High is greatly filled with great administration and staff.
Central Coast High School
Learning for Life Charter School
Senior: I go to school and it is flexible!Lov e it here and it is awesome .Nice and comfortable building.Study a lot here.Teachers are awesome and great and helpful. Awesome principal.great service.
Walter Colton
Seaside Middle School
High School Senior: The teachers were very stern and straightforward in delivering their lesson, ensuring that the students are engaged and understand the lesson. Honors classes generally had more classwork such as English class with more grammar and writing practice.
Junior: Santa Rosa Academy is a charter school that is not exactly like a school where everyone is excited and decides to go to the school dance, football game, or decide to put face paint across their faces. Here, we were raised together as a family. There are no cliques, outsiders, drama (very few). Many schools try to demonstrate school spirit to bring encouragement, enlightenment, love, and acceptance by sponsoring clubs, dances, food, bands, and other resources. However, our school doesn't need to put attention to such because of the influence and teachings of others and character, the lessons we've learned as a whole through education, and our determination to withstand and uphold. My school's drive is to continue to persevere, remain humane, build the future (the youth), and prepare them for life. At this day in age of which students are easily tempted and lazy, do things their age should not, and make wrong choices, I think our school is doing an excellent job compared to the rest.

Q: Datetimepicker not changing date time onSelect The problem:
I have two datetimepicker elements utilizing trent richardson's datetimepicker
The first element selects a start date/time and the second selects an end date/time.
When a date/time is changed i want to check that the start event is still before the end event. If not: the datetimepicker should revert to it's previous value.
What i've tried
$("selector").datetimepicker(function(){
    //other init values.
    onSelect: function(){
         var start = $("#startStamp").val();
         var stop = $("#stopStamp").val();
         if(calculateTimeDiff(start, stop) <= 0){
             alert("Start time may not exceed end time");
             $(this).datetimepicker("setDate",obj.lastVal);
         }

    }
}

calculateTimeDiff() is a function that returns number of milliseconds between start and end date.
What happens
If the date selected for start value is after the end value. Then everything acts like supposed. The value is reverted.
But if both start and end value is on the same date and the time is changed so that it exceeds the end value. Then the date value is set to current date and time value isn't reset at all. If the dialog is closed after that, no value is return to the input field.
I've tried console.log(obj) both when you change a date and when you just change the time.
and found out that obj.lasVal isn't set when just the time is changed. (A bit odd, i think).
JSFiddle
Question
What am i doing wrong or could this be done in some other way?

A: There is a better way! You can just constrain both fields so that the start date maximum is the end date and the end date minimum is the start date, using minDateTime and maxDateTime that take Date objects like so:
$("#startStamp").datetimepicker({
    dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
    timeFormat: "HH:mm",
    showSecond: false,
    controlType: 'select',
    maxDateTime: new Date($('#endStamp').val().replace(/-/g, "/")),
});

$("#endStamp").datetimepicker({
    dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
    timeFormat: "HH:mm",
    showSecond: false,
    controlType: 'select',
    minDateTime: new Date($('#startStamp').val().replace(/-/g, "/")),
});

FIDDLE
Update

Update 2
Fix for safari added.

A: Part of what you were doing wrong, was confusing datetimepicker with datepicker, which have very similar names :). datepicker has onSelect (http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-onSelect), but datetimepicker does not (http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/Events/).
Hope this helps

Murder is the intentional killing of another person.
There are three different degrees of murder and homicide including first degree, second degree and third degree murder. If you have been accused you will need an experienced Minnesota and Minneapolis-based Criminal Defense Attorney fighting in your corner.
Do not risk this serious conviction. Get the help you need by contacting us today at (612) 339-3939.
First degree murder is characterized as the worst with a sentence of up to life in prison. You could be facing first degree murder if the death of another is premeditated with the intent to kill, during a criminal sexual conduct, during a terrorism felony offense, while committing child abuse or a domestic assault, during a burglary, robbery, kidnapping or first or second degree arson, during a drive by shooting or in an attempt to commit any of the mentioned crimes.
You could also be convicted of first degree murder if you kill a police officer or guard employee at a prison.
You could be facing second degree murder if the murder is with intent but not premeditated and outside the manner of the first degree murder boundaries. Second degree murder comes with up to 40 years in prison. Third degree murder occurs if you kill someone without premeditation and without intent but by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others. Third degree murder comes with up to 25 years in prison.
It is important to remember that being accused or arrested for murder in any of the degrees does not automatically mean you are going to prison. There are a number of defense strategies to take when facing a murder conviction.
Our attorneys have years of experience in homicide and murder offenses and can determine the best defense strategy to take for your situation.
Bruce Rivers is board-certified in criminal defense by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, and as a criminal trial specialist by the Minnesota Bar Association.

Der Stoss (nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Stoos) ist ein Passübergang im Schweizer Kanton Appenzell Ausserrhoden, der das Appenzellerland mit dem St. Galler Rheintal verbindet. Er liegt östlich des Dorfs Gais, an der oberen Kante des steilen Hangs des Rheintals auf

Neben einer Kantonsstrasse führt auch die Schmalspurbahn Altstätten–Gais über den Pass, mit der Haltestelle Stoss an der Passhöhe. Der Scheitelpunkt der Strasse und der Eisenbahnlinie liegt 2,3 km westlich auf  am Hebrig .

Geschichte

Der Stoss wurde erstmals in Zusammenhang mit der Schlacht am Stoss in der Klingenberger Chronik erwähnt.
Diese ereignete sich am 17. Juni 1405. 400 Appenzeller schlugen eine Truppe von 1200 berittenen äbtischen und habsburgischen Soldaten und besiegelten damit die Loslösung des alten und damals noch ungeteilten Landes Appenzell von der Hoheit des Fürstabtes von St. Gallen. Ein Denkmal erinnert an diesen Tag.

Der Zugang zum Stoss von St. Gallen über Teufen bis Gais wurde Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts als Fahrstrasse ausgebaut. Die 1799 auf Verlangen der französischen Besatzer erstellte Passstrasse ersetzte den bisherigen Saumpfad nach Altstätten. In den Jahren 1804 und 1807 bewilligte die Tagsatzung Weggelder für die kantonsübergreifende Verbindung der sogenannten alten Stossstrasse. von 1840 bis 1859 wurde die neue Strasse realisiert. Ab 1860 bestand ein Postkurs Altstätten-Gais.

Ab 1937 wurde die Sperrstelle Stoss mit Panzerbarrikaden und 1940/41 mit Bunkern gebaut, die 1988/89 mit 17 modernen Unterständen verstärkt wurden.

Die seit 1597 getrennten Halbkantone Appenzell Ausserrhoden und Appenzell Innerrhoden begingen den 600. Jahrestag der Schlacht getrennt – die katholischen Innerrhoder wie alljährlich mit einer Prozession.

Zur Erinnerung an die Schlacht findet jährlich das Stoss-Schiessen statt. Es wird am letzten Wochenende im August ausgetragen. Am 3. April 1927 wurde der Stoss-Schützenverband gegründet.

My new passion! I decided that I was really going to read the whole bible, cover to cover. I am using a plan on YouVersion. It is awesome. I have a bible journal that I am reading and creating in. It took a while for me to actually make any marks on my bible, but I believe the best bible is a read bible, so here is some of the art I have done so far..... All done from the heart, as I am not an artist.
This is CASE'd from Susan Gizinski.
This is done with watercolors. I am a amateur, but loving it! It is all about reading the bible and journal what is important to you.
I like to try using art, but still be able to read everything in my bible. In the process I try to highlight what is important to me.
Our so cute Mermaid Wishes July 2017 Bloom Box! Every month you learn tips and techniques from Richard (owner and co-founder of FSJ) Example bottom left background is a direct to paper technique and the circles on the top were made using a dauber. Cool, yes!
These two were CASEd from Jeanne Bobish (A Journey Coach) I love your videos! You can follow her on facebook.
Look at this background...It was made using dry wall tape and modeling paste! Wonderful texture!
I made these cool Christmas cards with RG Presents Holiday. What a WOW!
Such a great experience with Fun Stampers Journey! None of these are hard, but really have a WOW factor! And for all of you that hate fussy cutting, most everything has a die to cut these out. Yea!! So much shine and glitter which is hard for me to capture in a photo.
These will be part of my holiday cards this year, what about you?
When Life hands you lemons...... I CASEd the layout from Brandy's Cards but the stamps (Make Lemonade #SS-0372) and embossing folders (Petals Wall #EF-0007) are all FSJ I inked up the embossing folder before I put it through the machine. Love how it all turned out!
A closer look: I used our color splash pencils on the lemon (Journey Color Splash Pencils #JM-0078) and our (Journey Blending Brush #TO-0097) with a little bit of water. The yellow strip I used both the lemon stamp and direct to paper with the ink pad. I didn't want a solid yellow. So easy... Easy Peezy Mac and Cheesy!
Christmas in July! So excited and cannot wait to play!!

Share this Story: Porcello's pro journey begins
Porcello's pro journey begins
Aug 26, 2007 • April 2, 2020 • 2 minute read
Right-handed pitcher Rick Porcello, the Detroit Tigers No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, left Sunday for Oneonta, N.Y. of the New York-Penn (A) League, where he'll begin the process that he expects will one day land him a spot in the club's starting rotation. Porcello recently signed a four-year, US $7 million deal with the club, which brought him to Comerica Park this weekend to watch part of the weekend series with the New York Yankees. "I'm extremely excited," Porcello said. "I'm honoured to be a part of the Tigers." Porcello isn't slated to pitch in game action this season, but will work to get his arm into condition for the Tigers' fall instructional league in Lakeland, Fla. "I'm going to Oneonta to start stretching and throwing and get in shape for the fall," said Porcello, who admitted the long stretch of inactivity while the two sides hammered out a contract was hard on his psyche. "It was tough waiting around for the deal to get done. It was my first summer not playing baseball. I went to gym a lot. Now I've got to work to get back into game shape. Physically, it will be difficult. Baseball's a tough game. There's a lot of adjustments I'm going to have to make. I'm anxious to get back on field and get started." While Jason Verlander and Joel Zumaya were able to make rapid advancement up the minor-league ladder to the big club, Porcello, who is straight out of high-school ball in West Orange, N.J., wasn't setting any timetable for his own big-league debut. "Everybody's different," he said. "Hopefully it'll be quicker than some of the others." . . . Placido Polanco's errorless streak lives. The error the Tigers second baseman was charged with in the first inning of Friday's game with the Yankees was changed to an error by Tigers first baseman Marcus Thames after the play was reviewed. Polanco entered Sunday afternoon's game errorless in 149 consecutive contests dating back to July 1, 2006 . . . Umpire Rick Reed, crew chief for this series, indicated that orders to get Friday's game in – it didn't start until 11:06 p.m. after a rain delay of more than four hours – came from a very highly-placed major-league baseball source . . . According to the Society For American Baseball Research, Friday's 3:30 a.m. finishing time was the latest a game had concluded in American League history . . . Understatement of the week – the following headline on Baltimoreorioles.com after the Birds dropped a 30-3 decision to the Texas Rangers – "Orioles fall in opener of doubleheader" . . . .Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez recently joined Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds and Harmon Killebrew as the only players in MLB history to hit 40 homers in eight different seasons . . . NASCAR on ESPN analyst Rusty Wallace on the difference between broadcasting and driving on the circuit" "People come up to me and tell me they like the way I explain things," Wallace said. "It's a lot different that when I was driving and people came up and said, 'I hate you. I hope Tony Stewart runs you off the track next week.'"

A right old game of two halves this was, with Man Utd strolling to a 2-0 half-time lead before the visitors totally bossed the second period.
Javier Hernandez opened the scoring after just five minutes, heading home a looping effort after a superb pass from Michael Carrick. Wayne Rooney then doubled the home side's advantage on 11 minutes, with his free-kick into the box by-passing everyone including Petr Cech in the Chelsea goal. Cue chants of "We want our Chelsea back" from the travelling support.
After the break, Chelsea fans were less than impressed when Frankie Lamps was hauled off, along with Victor Moses, early on. However, one of their replacement, Eden Hazard, got his side back into the game on the hour mark, courtesy of a superb curling shot.
From then on, Rafa Benitez's side totally dominated and were rewarded with the equaliser, courtesy of a left-footed strike from Ramires. The Blues kept pushing as the Red Devils struggled to keep hold of the ball and at the death, the superb Juan Mata almost won the game for the Londoners, only for David De Gea to produce a superb save with his foot.
And so it's back to the Bridge for the replay.
Oh, and when Chelsea fans sing that they "want their Chelsea back", which Chelsea is it – Roman Abramovich's or the one before that?
Got worried as a chelski fan early on.
…what's weird is this is not benitez fault nor credit.
It's like for the whole season chelsea has played like a little shy schoolgirl.
They only show the teeth when pushed the full extreme.
Like they're psychologicly fragile as hell.
Seems like terry has lost the team – and without drogba no one will rally them.
I don't understand Ferguson using fatigue as an excuse. They played at home on tuesday, Chelsea played in Romania on thursday, have a smaller squad and have played more games this season. Can't he just accept they were crap?

Celebrating 30 Years of UMBC's Meyerhoff Scholars Program
UMBC Magazine | Jenny O'Grady | June 7, 2019
Thirty years ago, Baltimore philanthropist Robert E. Meyerhoff came to then-UMBC vice provost Freeman Hrabowski with the seed of an idea: to create a program that would enable all students, regardless of background, access to the highest levels of science.
Last week, hundreds of Meyerhoff Scholars Program alumni filled an auditorium stage to thank Meyerhoff for his bold vision. They also came to share their own experiences as proof that he was right to believe in their potential and invest in their futures so many years ago.
The night of gratitude kicked off an emotional weekend of fellowship and reflection celebrating the Meyerhoff Scholars Program's 30th anniversary. Over the course of Friday evening, alumni and supporters shared stories of the successes they attribute to a community that believed in them from the start—one that in the words of poet Langston Hughes let them "hold fast to dreams."
"Meyerhoffs are 'all in' types," said Keith Harmon, director of the program. "Now as alumni, they are distinguishing themselves as STEM professionals, changing the face of the STEM workforce, and showing the world how right Bob Meyerhoff was to believe in them in the first place."
Setting a national example
The first of its kind in the country, the Meyerhoff Scholars Program launched in 1989 with a small cohort of African American men interested in pursuing graduate degrees in science, engineering, and related fields. In the years that followed, the program expanded to include women and students of all backgrounds who were committed to increasing the representation of minorities in science and engineering.
Today, more than 1,100 Meyerhoff alumni are changing the face of science across the country. The program is a national leader on the forefront of efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields, and UMBC is the nation's number one producer of African American undergraduates who go on to earn M.D./Ph.D.s.
This spring, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative awarded $6.9 million to support a unique partnership to replicate UMBC's program at UC San Diego and UC Berkeley. Earlier replication efforts at Pennsylvania State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, have already yielded tremendously impressive results.
Growth thrives in community
As alumni lined up on stage to share their stories, Kamili Jackson Shaw M5, '97, M.S. '99, mechanical engineering, talked about her first impressions of the program as an entering student.
"The Meyerhoff Scholars Program was the first time I had ever been around a critical mass of high-achieving African Americans, and it was extremely important to my growth as an individual," said Shaw. Today, she leads the safety, quality, and management systems division for the NASA Stennis Space Center. "It gave me confidence and humility at the same time," she says. "For the first time, I was able to simply 'be.'"
The night ended with what program alumni called a "Gesture of Gratitude"—the announcement of a $500,000 gift made by alums from across the decades to support the program. As impactful as the gift will be, it was also symbolic, matching Robert Meyerhoff's original gift to UMBC. And they have no intention of stopping there.
"Sometimes you don't understand legacy until you see the fruit of it, and 25 years later, I see the magnitude of the program," says Felicia Sanders M4, '96, chemical engineering. Sanders, a, leadership-level supporter of the program, says giving back "is a responsibility. It's a necessity."
"If someone hadn't given to us," she asks, "where would we be?"
Kellie McCants-Price M2, '95, interdisciplinary studies, was in the first Meyerhoff class that included women, one year after its founding. "I didn't realize how significant it was until about 10 years out," says McCants-Price, who holds her Ph.D. in psychology. "I saw how prolific it was—how many women were graduating—and realized that we held the door open for them."
Alums took to social media to share their memories and thoughts on the celebration, including U.S. Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams M4, '97, biochemistry and molecular biology.
After Friday's formal event, alumni gathered in the Event Center on Saturday for a family-style reunion. Many of them brought their children to enjoy a day of food, cohort cluster game competitions, networking, and campus tours. Later that evening, many also enjoyed a dance party hosted by the Meyerhoff Alumni Advisory Board.
Alumni left feeling re-connected as friends, as scholars—and ultimately, as part of a family.
Kafui Dzirasa M8, '01, chemical engineering, summed up this sentiment as he thanked Robert Meyerhoff on Friday night. "What has increasingly become obvious to us—which you have known all along—is that the power of this community is us, working together as a family."

Harvesting Hope
Story by Katie Shepherd, photos by Neil Bedi, graphics by Byron Lutz • October 8, 2014
Above: Elmer Sayre, the in-house advisor for the Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and Development Foundation, explains one of his strategies for Typhoon Yolanda recovery: teaching survivors to grow their own food.
LEYTE, Philippines — Hundreds of people live in barrack-like bunkhouses made of woven bamboo mats, with clotheslines spread between the temporary buildings, after many families were displaced by Typhoon Yolanda last November.
Some bunkhouses are surrounded by muddy walkways, where the dirt squelches up the side of the residents' shoes, covering feet with grime. Others have rocky walkways that are cleaner, but uneven.
All of these communities have children who run around and play in the makeshift neighborhoods, attend school in neat uniforms and cheerfully greet visitors with a bright "Hello!"
In her community garden, Lea Encina talks about the fruits and vegetables the bunkhouse residents have planted, harvested, eaten and sold in the past three months.
Still, life can be bleak in these temporary homes, where families are waiting for their lives to begin again after losing all of their belongings in Typhoon Yolanda.
One local organization, the Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and Development Foundation, also known as WAND, provides free trainings for bunkhouse residents, teaching them how to plant their own gardens and cultivate enough crops to feed themselves.
In some bunkhouse communities across the island of Leyte, WAND has used donations from GlobalGiving, including money donated by UCLA students, to provide the seeds to start large communal gardens.
The Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and Development Foundation and Samaritan's Purse teamed up to sponsor gardens in bunkhouse communities around Tacloban. WAND provided seeds and teaches the skills and techniques necessary to grow several types of vegetables that can be eaten, shared and sold by displaced residents living in temporary housing.
Donors to WAND come from all over the world, and a significant number of them, about 40, have donated through GlobalGiving more than once, Elmer Sayre, WAND's in-house adviser, said. WAND continues to receive a slow stream of donations each month, ranging from just $50 to $1,000 in a good month, Sayre said.
In November, December and January, people (were) more generous because the typhoon (was) still in people's minds. Now, we get $50, $100 a month. —Elmer Sayre
That's why Sayre said WAND may start selling seeds and toilets, which are part of the organization's push for sanitation, instead of donating them in the future. The trainings will remain free.
"In November, December and January, people (were) more generous because the typhoon (was) still in people's minds," Sayre said. "Now, we get $50, $100 a month."
The Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and Development Foundation teaches displaced persons living in bunkhouses several different styles of gardening.
In places that were unused muddy paths and old sugar cane fields now sprout seedlings of okra, squash, peppers, potatoes, onions and a spinach-like vegetable called kangkong, awaiting harvest by people who can barely afford to buy food at the market.
"I think the reason the people here like gardening is because the gardening is like therapy," said Nina Herrera, the bunkhouse captain for a community in Tacloban. "It helps them cope with their hardship in life."
The bunkhouse residents learn to plant crops in several styles, including container gardens, vertical gardens and more traditional row gardens.
I think the reason the people here like gardening is because the gardening is like therapy. It helps them cope with their hardship in life.—Nina Herrera
"People share what they have planted," said Melissa Pader, camp manager at a bunkhouse near Ormoc City. "Some of them also sell the vegetables. It gave them a way to earn money."
Earning money is especially important for victims of the typhoon. In the storm, they lost their homes, jobs and livelihoods, and relocation into a bunkhouse can move people far away from the city and coastline, where many jobs exist.
Some lost their businesses, others lost their fishing boats in the storm.
Coconut farmers lost most of their crops, said Sayre. And these people may be out of work for a long time: A coconut tree can take up to 10 years to produce fruit.
Elmer Sayre, with the Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and Development Foundation, designed a water-efficient toilet specifically for residents in the Philippines.
But the seedlings keep the residents from depending on the market for food and give them an opportunity to make money to rebuild homes and buy other necessities, Sayre said.
Samaritan's Purse, an international nonprofit based in North Carolina, partnered with WAND to scale up Sayre's attempts to provide toilets to neighborhoods at risk for contaminating fresh water sources and to provide tools for the gardens.
Sayre provided the design for an efficient toilet and Samaritan's Purse provided the resources and hired Filipinos in the disaster area to produce donated bathrooms, said program director Gavin Gramstad.
Fruits and vegetables grown in gardens sponsored by the Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and Development Foundation are often incorporated into meals such as stew.
Making a bathroom
Toilets made by WAND and Samaritan's Purse are made through sweat equity. Families are provided assistance and materials but must build the toilet themselves. Each recipient of a toilet must:
Attend a training to learn about the dangers of defecating in the open.
Dig a ditch that will hold the septic tank.
Install the septic tank using bags of sand and gravel.
Build the structure that surrounds the toilet bowl out of woven bamboo sheets and coco lumber.
Install the toilet bowl and structure.

"He is so tied into the community. Elmer says exactly what the needs are and how to address them directly," said Yen Pham, a 2009 UCLA alumna working with Samaritan's Purse in Tacloban.
The toilets are crucial to keeping illnesses like cholera out of communities that are already very vulnerable to infectious disease, Sayre said.
Samaritan's Purse hopes to outfit four municipalities with Sayre's septic tank and bowl designs so that the towns will be completely free of raw sewage by the end of this year. The whole process requires 10,000 donated toilets.
Bunkhouse residents use plastic bottles and old containers to start seedlings that will be transplanted into larger areas.
Samaritan's Purse enrolls every recipient of a toilet in a class on the role of proper sanitation in water-borne illnesses like cholera that can devastate communities in the Philippines.
For now, the people who have learned to garden from WAND's trainings are reaping the rewards of their newfound green thumbs.
Most of the first crops were planted in July, and some communities have already come together to harvest two or three sets of vegetables. These gardens brighten the landscape of a handful of bunkhouse communities across the islands of Leyte and Samar.
With harvests once or twice a month, people have plenty of vegetables to eat, and enough left over to sell sometimes, Sayre said.
A shipment of cocolumber from trees destroyed in Typhoon Yolanda can help to make the fences and supports in bunkhouse gardens.
As she walked around her bunkhouse's garden, Lea Encina pointed out eggplant seedlings and lemongrass sprouts and chatted about what plants will soon be able to be harvested and cooked, sold and shared with family and friends.
"We've harvested three times already," Encina said. "We are waiting just a few more weeks for our next harvest." ■

The Advantages Of Channel 6 News Portland Oregon Offers
Written by Channel 6 Portland. Posted in Homepage
The news is something that many people struggle to keep up with, especially those that are very busy and have many responsibilities that they have to manage on a daily basis. If you are looking to keep up with happenings in Portland, Channel 6 news Portland Oregon is a great resource to take advantage of. On Channel 6 Portland Maine residents can also learn things that are happening in their part of the world. Keep up with Portland channel 6 so that you are able to understand current events and things that impact the way that you live your life in the Portland area.
By following channel 6 Portland ME locals have the ability to get information about a wide variety of different fields that they may be curious about. For example, you can follow Portland news channel 6 to find out the latest developments in the political field so that you are up to date about elections and laws that have recently been passed. You can also follow Channel 6 news Portland Oregon so that you can find out what
Understanding Portland Whichever One You May Live In
When it comes to Channel 6 New Portland has a lot of information to offer. And there is a lot of information that should be of interest to people who are looking for the channel 6 news Portland Oregon provides or the Channel 6 news Portland Maine people watch on a daily basis.
Of course, a search for Portland Channel 6 or Portland news Channel 6 might take you to the website of either city, which is to say that it is always important to mind your surroundings and make sure that you are in the right place when you are looking for the channel 6 news Portland residents use, whether they are in Oregon or Maine.
Channel 6 Portland Maine is not the only way to gain important insight into the city. There are also the newspapers in the region. But these do not always provide information in real time. The same could be said of the Channel 6 News Portland Oregon provides when it competes with newspapers.
Portland, whether in Maine or Oregon, is lucky from the standpoint that the weather is, in many ways, less extreme than it is in places further down the coast. Nonetheless, Portland Maine still has to deal with the possibility of snow storms and Portland Oregon could always be damaged by an earthquake, especially since cities like it and Seattle are less prepared for such a contingency than many of the cities that are further down the coast.
Channel 6 news Portland can also be a valuable resource for people who are looking to get better information on what is going on in their city's politics. Oregon and Maine can be a good place to live, but it is always best when people are able to stay informed.
Specificity In Web Marketing The Lightning Bug And The Lightning
Mark Twain said, "The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. It is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Nowhere is this truer than in the world of Internet searching. With an audience literally the size of the entire planet, specificity can be of paramount importance.
Suppose for a second that you are in charge of the website for a hypothetical news station in southern Maine, News Channel 6 Portland ME. Local patrons know you as the reliable source for news in the Portland area and surrounding townships, but you want to reach a wider online audience, so you launch Channel 6 Portland dot com. But a strange thing happens. You start getting angry emails from people telling you that you are talking about the wrong ocean, and that you have gotten all the names of the elected officials wrong, and that you seem not be covering any of the events that are actually happening in Portland.
You are stumped, because your online news seems to be jibing with your on air news just fine. Why would so many people be so upset? So you do a quick Internet search, typing in "Portland Channel 6″. And there is your site, just as expected, working just as you designed it. But you scroll down further, and the problem becomes apparent. There just happens to be another Portland News Channel 6. In Oregon.
Oregon residents have been searching for "Portland Channel 6″ as well, and getting a website located nearly as far away from their town as is geographically possible in the contiguous United States. So what is the answer?
Specificity. Optimizing your website with keywords like "Channel 6 Portland ME" or "Channel 6 Portland Maine", perhaps even trying to buy the website "Channel 6 Portland ME dot com" will help to avoid the confusion and alert potential searchers to your location up front, and differentiate you from "Channel 6 News Portland Oregon". And as a further aid, you could provide a small bit of text on your front page, asking browsers if they have the correct Portland, and providing a link to the Oregon site if they reached yours in error.
The "Channel 6 Portland ME" conundrum is a hypothetical situation, but it does illustrate the importance of specificity in your web marketing, and why research and diligence should be at the forefront of every campaign.

A Quick Review of Portland News Channel 6 Website
Portland News Channel 6 has been on the air since 1953, and the station has dominated the local news ratings since the late 1980s. Today, Portland News Channel 6 is also available online, and I am going to review the functionality and appearance of their online website.
Overall, the Channel 6 Portland Maine site is pleasing in appearance. The top features the city skyline and images of popular anchors. This could have been designed or photoshopped a little better, however, since there is a tiny halo of white pixels around the head and torso of the female anchor in particular. It would be more in keeping with modern design trends for the Portland News Channel 6 site to have side bars of the same color as the header down the sides, however, I do not think the white space is overly distracting.
The Portland Channel 6 site has useful large tabs at the top for home, news, weather ,sports, shows, community, more, and about. They also have a smaller tab section for local information like the Feed Me Food Drive. I appreciate News websites that remember to showcase local information and interest pieces.
The weather is prominently displayed on the right side of the Channel 6 Portland ME site, and has a multi day quick forecast, which is not employed by many News sites but is a feature that some prefer rather than having to click over to another page. I will say though that the icons could be reformatted for their size. The days are difficult to read and seem like they were formatted for a larger image and are appearing shrunk, and unnecessarily so, since the days are surrounded by a fair amount of white space.
The featured news links to different stories on Channel 6 news Portland are well organized and eye catching. Like with many news sites, the number of ads sometimes feels overwhelming. I at least wish they were not always so flashy.
Picking a tab on the Portland News Channel 6 site at random, I like the Around Town tab, which features photo galleries of local goings on, as well as a list of websites devoted to news, restaurants, events and more for individual cities and towns across the state.
My Favorite News Station? It's Right Here In Portland!
Which is the station the most people in Portland prefer for their weather watch, news and sports updates? For my part, that would have to be Channel 6 News Portland Oregon. Sometimes I'm looking for local stories about my hometown, sometimes for U.S. and world news, sometimes for some playful and distracting entertainment news. Channel 6 Portland Oregon has always been my first choice for any of these topics. I know I'm not alone, either, as so many other news hounds tune in to Channel 6 News Portland Oregon daily.
But what about some other popular "Channel 6 news" sources with similar names? Some who read this might think I'm about to sing the praises of Channel 6 Portland Maine. Channel 6 Portland ME is probably also a perfectly good station, but don't get your Portlands crossed! Maine is many hours away, and as far as local news and weather goes, you certainly can't interchange the two.
One of the things I like about Channel 6 News Portland Oregon is their well developed web presence. The Portland News Channel 6 website is a great source to catch up on the latest stories for those who missed one Channel 6′s on air broadcasts. Plus it's a great way to go into more depth on some stories by linking to related articles from the archives.
But as much as I like this site, my preferred method is always to tune in to Channel 6 News Portland Oregon live. I find myself doing this at work or at home, to get a quick but truly substantive overview of the day's news. And I'm a big fan of the Channel 6 News Portland Oregon team, who work well together and always deliver the newest headlines with total professionalism and a nicely approachable demeanor.
Channel 6 Portland Has an Easy to Navigate Online Site
Do you believe aliens have visited the earth? Yes, no, waiting for evidence, or the jury is out? No, this is not a blog post about possible extraterrestrial encounters, that is just one of the current on site polls for Channel 6 Portland. To find out what fellow Channel 6 News Portland watchers would say, check on their site to see the percentages of believers.
Of course, not everything on the Channel 6 Portland website are quirky polls. Most of it, in fact, is information relevant to you and your community. The online site has an approachable layout with content on the left, related links in the middle, ads at the right, and multiple videos to choose from on the bottom. Personally, I like the way pictures are constantly updating on News websites even if you are not refreshing the page, because it reminds me of the newspapers in the Harry Potter books.
Portland News Channel 6 online features important updates about the weather, top news, community updates, and other items like the Feed Me Food Drive at the top of their site, along with tabs to the normal sections of weather, sports, news and more. The only recommendation I would give for the top of the page would be to improve the graphics a little. The heads of the newscasters placed in front of the Portland channel 6 skyline look a little photoshopped with the jagged dark pixels around their heads.
What is nice about Channel 6 Portland ME is that it really does focus on community in both its content and presentation of content. It would be easy for a lot of News channels like Channel 6 Portland to pretend they care about community news, but then place it in hard to reach locations on the web or buried in the pages of their paper. With Channel 6 Portland Maine, it seems evident that they really care and are not just doing it to get community credit.
