Excavating the H.H. Holmes "Body Dump" Site
Posted on April 24, 2016 April 24, 2016 by adam
We used to call it "The Body Dump." It was a little bit of a stretch to give it a name like that, but really… who can think of a reason a known multi-murderer would want a 150 foot long furnace? Right near the homes of half of his known local victims?
The site of the building that papers said was H.H. Holmes' "glass bending factory" was a regular tour stop of mine for nearly a decade, but now it's about to become condos. Eric Nordstrom of Urban Remains invited me to come check it out. Here's a special half-hour video featuring the whole story of the site, stories of what we enountered there on tours over the years, and clips from the "excavation." It's available both as a video and audio podcast, and an article summarizing it all is right here, below the video:

Excavating along the approximate site where the "Glass bending factory" was. Holmes pretended he was starting a glass bending business several times in different locations, but never convinced anyone he knew how to bend glass.
In the course of human events, sometimes we lose a good tour stop. The House of Crosses was once a popular attraction, and we were lucky to get to interview the owner about its history before it was torn down. Now we've lost the site I used to call The Body Dump. It's being dug up for a large condo complex. The original building was already long gone, but the new condos going up will sap a lot of the spookiness from the place, as well as making it harder to access. However, I did get to assist on digging through the rubble, so that's cool.
I try not to make EVERYTHING be about HH Holmes around here, but he's my number one research topic; my book on him will be out in 2017. Holmes, of course, is the guy who's advertised as "America's First Serial Killer," and the subject of the smash hit Devil in the White City. According to legend, he rigged his Englewood building with secret passages and hidden chambers to prey on visitors to the 1893 World's Fair, of whom he may have killed hundreds. Now, how TRUE all that is is a whole other question (and evidence that it's mostly fiction is strong), but if people say this guy killed a lot more people than he really did, well, it's not like we're besmirching the honor of a good man here. He did probably murder at least 9 or 10 people, and ruined the lives of many more.
I started running tours based on him back in 2006. Now, that year I was still running one of the ghost tour companies in town, and one of my partners sent me a little 1895 article he'd seen about ANOTHER Holmes castle, discovered shortly after a fire at the Englewood building ended the police's investigation of it. This new place was no castle – just a one-story unnumbered brick building, the only address being "where 65 Sobieski Street ought to be," near where Robey (Damen) and Fullerton intersected, and northwest of the railroad lines, not far from an apartment Holmes had rented for one of his girlfriends and her sister in 1893. By the time a private detective discovered the place, all that was left inside was some of Holmes paperwork, some mysterious ashes, and the wreck of a 150 foot long furnace.
The body dump as it appeared until recently
Now, who can think of a reason a known multi-murderer would want a 150 foot long furnace? Papers suggested that Holmes was cremating bodies there. It was right next to a coal yard, and in those days you could have tossed ashes into a coal yard and no one ever would have found a thing.
Now, there is no Sobieski Street anymore, so figuring out where this place was presented a challenge for me, and helped me learn about things like Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, street name guides, and renumbering guides. It turned out that was a little dead end street, now a part of Seeley Avenue, not only near the Wrightwood place but also near the home of one of his other suspected victims, a girl named Emily Van Tassell. She and the other two, Minnie and Nannie Williams, actually represent about half of Holmes' known Chicago victims (the World's Fair murder stories mostly came out of a tabloid article). And this "Sobieski Street" site would have been a much better location for getting rid of a dead body than the castle itself actually was.
And for every person who vanished from the castle, there was a story about Holmes needing
The "Body Dump" with its Tim Burton-esque Tree.
help carrying the large trunks out of the place. It's quite possible that he had this off-site place to do his cremating, as the Chicago papers suggested at the time. It's even likely that Emily Van Tassell and the Williams girls would have been killed there, not at the castle. It was a more isolated area, not many neighbors spoke English, and the Luetgert Sausage factory, just a few blocks away, might have even been running by then to cover up smells.
So, one of my partners and I went out to Seeley Avenue, and even though the building itself was long
gone, the area seemed nice and spooky. A dead end street, an overgrown vacant lot, and a couple of trees that looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie. And, weirdly, even though it hadn't been Sobieski Street in years, there happened to be a billboard up for Sobieski vodka, which sure seemed odd in the heat of the moment. The real bonus for us is that it was RIGHT on the tour route at the time, in between the Liar's Club and the Virgin Mary Salt Stain. We came to call the place The Body Dump; I dearly loved getting people on the bus after looking around at Hull House and saying "All right, folks, who wants to go to the body dump?" It was a standard stop of mine from about 2008-2014, and I even wrote it in as a location in Just Kill Me, my new novel about a ghost tour guide who makes places more haunted by killing people at them, which'll be out through Simon and Schuster in August:
"…the dead end street does look pretty ominous, even in the glaring summer daylight. The curling weeds look like they're beckoning us all to our doom. There's something about the place that just doesn't feel right. When I step off the bus, the hair stands up on the back of my neck. The breeze seems like it's cooler than it ought to be, and everywhere I look there are little touches that make this space seem eerier than the average dead-end street. There's even some sort of blood-red sap oozing from a tall Tim Burton-style tree at the edge of the lot." – from Just Kill Me
Now, the stories about this being a "body dump" for Holmes could have all been BS, and I was pretty upfront about that. The same could be said of all the castle stories, after all. Evidence he was involved with the place were fairly strong, but it was never fully investigated in the 1890s, so this might have just been some random factory that Holmes had little connection to. Maybe his ex janitor was just getting rid of old paperwork there. We just started going there as a historical curiosity, since the "murder castle" site was way too far away to be a regular stop.
The spooky old tree.
But here's the thing: More weird stuff happened there than anyplace else I went on ghost tours. Early on I remember nights when people said they heard moans coming from the ground. In the summer some sort of blood-red sap would drip out of one of the creepy trees – probably just iron oxide in the soil, but when you go to what may have been a serieal killer's body dump and see a black branch with blood that keeps dripping, it's creepy.
There was also a flood-light that seemed to turn off and on like clockwork when people said the name "Emily Van Tassell" some nights.
I remember one night we pulled in and there was snow on the ground at the vacant lot. There were flurries going on, but it wasn't sticking anywhere else. Just there. Which is another one of those things that I'm sure CAN be explained, but don't ask ME how, and it was spooky in the moment.
Another night there were chickens. Six or seven of them, just crossing the road. And here you thought that only happened in jokes.
Besides the general weirdness, we had a lot of reported ghosts there, including a number of sightings of a ghostly woman in a black dress who'd be there one second, and gone the next. I never figured out if it was someone messing with us or what. We got a number of ghostly photos beyond the usual "weird lights" and "if you look closely at the random visual noise" stuff – the top three are in the video.
Sometimes the vacant lot would get so overgrown the weeds would be as high as your head. Cops told us that besides the Holmes stuff, bodies were found there in the 80s pretty regularly. I'm not sure if they were telling the truth, but it looks like a good place to stash a body.
There was even one night when we thought we hit the ghostly woman on the bus. The windows on the bus were fogged up, and as we were backing the bus up, we hit something. We heard the THUD and felt the impact. I thought we'd hit someone's car. The driver said it was just a tree. But some people in the back said "No, there was a woman back there!" I ran ouside and around the back and found nothing anywhere near us – no car, no tree, no fire hydrant, no footprints. I reported it on the blog at the time. I'm interested now to note that it was in October, as I seem to recall there being snow. Maybe the windows were just fogged from the heater – it happened a lot on that bus.
So, since we first started going there, I've researched the place about as much as I could – which isn't much. By the time the place was discovered in 1895, neighbors were still around to identify Holmes as the owner of the place place, and to identify Pat Quinlan, Holmes' right hand man, as the guy who'd cleaned out cartloads of rubbish a month or two before, but the cops in Chicago were fed up with the Holmes case and didn't care to investigate it any further. We do know from some letters Holmes wrote, though, that the night he killed a boy named Howard Pietzel outside of Indianapolis, he hopped on a train to Chicago and spent the next day there, and while he was there he went to the factory and talked to Pat Quinlan. He alluded to the place in a couple of his writings.
Fire insurance maps indicate that the building may have still been there in 1914, though it was listed as "vacant." The site's connection to Holmes was simply forgotten about until that night when my then-partner and I went to check it out. For the next several years it was regular stop for me, and the History Channel occasionally shows me strolling around the vacant lot looking all pensive. But it's a stop I knew wouldn't last; a vacant lot in Bucktown isn't going to stay vacant forever. My understanding was that the lot was buried under a ton of foreclosure lawsuits from 2008 that would take years to get through, but those years seem to be up: last week they started digging the lot up for condos. The trees are totally gone, and we only have pictures to remember them by.
Last week, I happened to get a message from Eric Nordstrom, who runs a place called Urban Remains, an architectural relic shop nearby my house. He goes to tear-downs and excavations and collects bits of architecture, and happens to be a researcher and blogger himself. You can see his blog post on it at urbanremainschicago.com . Video clips are above.
And here's some of what we found:
Some sort of pipe connection.
Bits of porcelain and dishware.
A bit of bone. Presumably chicken bone, but what am I, an anatomist?
Chunks of glass.
Bits of bottles.
Several bricks that are likely bits of the "factory."
As with a lot of Holmes locations, there's a lot we'll never know about this place. The actual site of the factory was likely about where the sloping metal garage is now, which is still standing, so it might still work as a tour stop now and then. But without the old tree and the vacant lot, the atmosphere just won't be the same.
So, farewell, body dump! At least I got a cool video, a neat book location, and a lot of great tour stories out of you.

One of the most recognizable signs of life is growth. Growth indicates inner strength, stability, and maturity. As a parent wishes for his or her child to grow up big and strong, we as Christians should long for our churches to be growing, healthy ministries. Though this longing for growth may be fervent, growth in a church is often easier said than done. In 2011, Church of God Ministries celebrated the tremendous growth of Hoopeston First Church of God in Hoopeston, Illinois. In the past five years, 250 baptisms have taken place! As astounding as this is, Pastor Micah Mobley says they're not done yet.
Hoopeston First Church of God first and foremost attributes all the glory to God for their vast growth. Six years ago, the church decided that the community around them was in dire need of Christ. In a town of about six thousand people, 80 percent do not attend church. Reaching the community and making services focused on reaching those 80 percent became their first priority. In order for their efforts to make a real difference, serving, being outward-focused, sacrificial giving, praying, and fasting was necessary. Failure was not an option.
Like any major change, there were struggles. Most of the struggles Mobley attributed to culture. "At the end of the day, the biggest struggle is ourselves—our inherent selfishness and inability to love like we should." He firmly believes that churches should actively see people come to Christ and not just accept the status quo. Churches must be willing to work!
Baptisms are not the only big change. Souls are being saved, families are changing for the better, and marriages are being restored. The Lord has also blessed the church financially. In 2012 they had a million-dollar expansion without doing a capital campaign! New outreaches are benefiting from this expansion, as well as providing for several more staff members.
Currently, the church is also in the process of opening a community youth center which will be the first of its kind in Hoopeston. Since 90 percent of youth in the community do not attend church, the congregation will love them where they are. To carry this momentum into the future, Mobley shared that there is a new campaign coming this fall called ReBoot. Hunter Tibbs, Anderson University 2016 graduate, will be assisting as the connections and outreach pastor, while the church continues to address what they can do better to reach the lost and make disciples.
Pastor Mobley would certainly agree that this kind of growth in Hoopeston is not just some exciting exception—every church has the potential to grow. When built on the foundation of Christ, with the support of fellow Christians, and plenty of hard work, growth is more than possible. Our Lord is alive. Our churches should be, too.

As an acute long-term care facility with 35 beds, the hospital has become a destination for those patients who need ventilation weaning. In fact, on average, 70% of patients that cannot breathe independently in the hospital are successfully weaned through the recognized resource intensive pulmonary program. Other services offered at the hospital include cardiac and heart failure, renal care, wound maintenance, and infectious disease treatment. The best rewards for all of the hard work done at the facility are the countless patient success stories that inspire throughout the community.

Gino Palmeri, proprietor of Vermont Elderberry, tends to the elderberry shrubs at Amendola Farm.
For more information about Vermont Elderberry, visit vermontelderberry.com, or the company's Facebook page.
PUTNEY—Gino Palmeri, a self-described "plant person" all his life, has earned a living landscaping, in outdoor education, teaching about plants — "naturalist stuff," as he described it.
For the last 18 months, he has built Vermont Elderberry, a business growing and harvesting elderberries and turning their fruits and flowers into immunity tonics, beverages, and preserves.
Palmieri officially registered the business a year and a half ago, but he has grown elderberries and made remedies from the fruit for almost 20 years.
"When my kids were young, I made immune boosters, because that's what you do with elderberries and other useful native plants. As a Vermonter, I was determined to do that," he said.
"The flowers are the mildest part of the plant and prepared as a tea, are used to break dry fevers and stimulate perspiration, aid headache, indigestion, twitching eyes, dropsy, rheumatism, appendix inflammation, bladder or kidney infections, colds, influenza, consumption (bleeding in lungs), and is helpful to newborn babies.
"Used as a wash, the flowers or leaves are good for wounds, sprains, and bruises, as well as for sores on domestic animals. The leaves, which are stronger, have a slightly laxative property.
"Applied externally, leaves, flowers, bark and twigs are excellent as a poultice, mixed equally with chamomile, for soreness, inflammations, joint stiffness, and to reduce the swelling of bee stings.
The various species of the flowering sambucus plant, in the family adoxaceae, are commonly known as "elder" or "elderberry." Palmeri noted the ripe berries have culinary and medicinal value, but the unripe berries, leaves, and bark are poisonous.
The shrubs grow wild and are cultivated in a variety of climates, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Palmeri said he finds elderberry shrubs proliferating in the moist, rich soil of river valleys.
His farm is located across a road and a short jaunt through the woods to the Connecticut River, and he noted his shrubs can grow to 12 feet tall.
He started planting elderberry shrubs — about a dozen — on his farm in 2002 for personal use. About five years ago, Palmeri added 40 more shrubs "to see if I could start a little operation," he said.
"I realized I should be nurturing and growing plants. My dream was to make something useful from them," he said.
Elderberries were an obvious choice, said Palmeri, even among the hundreds of helpful native plants.
After taking courses in herbal medicine, Palmeri began developing and test-marketing an elderberry immunity tonic in 2015, and the following year he developed an alcohol-free formula.
Now, Vermont Elderberry produces the two versions of Winter Immunity Tonic, Elderberry-Raspberry Jam, and Elderflower Lemon Cordial, a concentrate for making "a cool iced drink with the delicate essence of elderflower," said Palmeri. He describes the fruit as "the brave little berry," and the phrase appears on the tonics' and cordial's labels.
In mid-July, the farm's elderberry bushes will be at "their peak blossoming stage," as Palmeri wrote on Vermont Elderberry's Facebook page last summer.
The farm workers and Palmeri harvest the berries from late August through early October. They freeze most of the harvest and produce the tonics, cordial, and jam in the winter and spring.
He noted the difficulties in getting herbal supplements legal for interstate sales. For now, Palmeri is selling Vermont Elderberry tonics in-state only.
"I researched the regulations, and selling out-of-state would require more licenses and regulatory hurdles, like tweaking the label to please the FDA," he said.
In 2015, Palmeri began selling Vermont Elderberry's products at the Winter Farmers' Market in Brattleboro and at the Greater Falls Farmers Market in Bellows Falls.
"The response was really good," he said. "We're regulars now" at those markets, and the business has a presence at the Putney Farmers' Market, with occasional appearances at the Saturday Brattleboro Area Farmers' Market, said Palmieri.
Last year, Vermont Elderberry got its first commercial account at the Putney Food Co-op, Palmieri said, and plans are in the works to bring the products into four or five stores in southeastern Vermont.
In addition to the elderberry enterprise, Palmeri operates Palmeri Land Care, which specializes in "assisting the property owner or manager with the problem of overzealous vegetation," he writes on his website.
He also still works at Landmark College, "because I have to," he said.

Musical Hell
Celebrating the worst (and occasionally the best) musicals on film
Located on a small expansion shelf about midway between the Third and Fourth Circles, Musical Hell is presided over by Diva, a minor demon charged with passing judgement on the worst musicals ever committed to film. (She still hasn't figured out if this is their punishment or hers.) Take a seat on the bench and have your earplugs ready, because court is now in session.
New videos posted on the first Monday of the month. Other viewpoints, news, and general ramblings posted when they crop up.
Sing-Off Sound-Off: S4E5 "Movie Night"
Ah, film music--a particular passion of mine, as you're all probably aware. Sadly The Sing-Off's tribute to songs of the silver screen doesn't get me into the mood right away, as "(I've Had) The Time of My Life"...has never appealed to me. (Seriously, I don't get the whole Dirty Dancing love in general. I saw the movie once, it was okay, but why it became a cultural touchstone I will never fully understand and I've probably completely alienated my already small audience so I'll shut up now.) Tim from Home Free and Honey from Voice Play sound odd singing together--something about his full bass and her distinctly husky tone don't gel. I hope the rest of the night is better than this.
For the second episode in a row, Home Free leads off and have selected "Pretty Woman," proving that this is less "songs written in films" and "songs featured in films in some capacity or another." Way to keep the concept nice and vague there, guys. Jewel is mentoring tonight; she encourages the country boys to take the song someplace interesting to keep it from being just a toe-tapper. And they do, shifting through an interesting progression of rhythm and tone changes that manage to come together in an interesting whole. Austin has some odd things going on in his flirt-solo to Jewel, but the harmonies are tight and clean and it's good fun overall so I like it. The judges do too.
Vocal Rush's pick for the night is "Against All Odds," a nice change after the driving "I Need a Hero" and upbeat "Gonna Make You Sweat." Vocal percussionist Kyana is stepping out of her comfort zone to take the solo and...it's wonderful. She projects a captivating vulnerability in the song's opening (she may be nervous, but she knows how to use it) before slipping back into her accustomed role without missing a beat (pun semi-intended). The build of the song is simply gorgeous--some of these kids have bright professional careers ahead of them, I just know it.
After kind of impressing me with "Amazed," The AcoUstiKats are back to making me roll my eyes with their bachelor-party antic and being more interested in praising Jewel's looks than her musical know-how. Shove off, already. "Old Time Rock & Roll" is always a fun get-up-and-dance song, but the tempo changes don't serve the 'Kats as well as they did Home Free--it messes up the drive of the song. In the end the judges have more to say about the strip show than the vocal performance, which doesn't bode well for the Kentucky kids.
Oooh, The Filharmonic are doing "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," a song I guiltily love in all its cheesy power-ballad glory. After being a little too cheery for "One More Night," the group is wistful and heartfelt here in a way that leaves the big, beautiful-voiced Joe in sensitive boy-band tears afterward. It doesn't go quite as over-the-top as it needs too, but it's still an overall step forward from last week. Also, bow ties should totally become part of the military uniform.
Voice Play is up next with "Don't You Forget About Me," and even though they're rocking the Breakfast Club style with their 80s high school duds, but musically...I'm just not feeling it tonight. Maybe it's the fact that Honey's distinctive voice just isn't a good fit for this song. Maybe it's because the counterpoint section feels more muddled than interesting (though it does come together for the final chorus).
And finally, Ten...I owe you guys an apology. I underestimated you, big time. I thought your lack of experience as a group would keep you from reaching the potential that, as experienced professionals, I knew you had. But you left them all in the dust tonight with a gorgeous, soulful rendition of "Skyfall." It was perfect from the quietly intense pulse of the opening to the furious gospel-belt chorus. I fell in love with you tonight. I want you to do the theme for the next Bond movie, seriously.
The Ultimate Sing-Off is actually a three-round battle tonight, because it's a two-hour show and there's still forty minutes to fill. Actually "battle" is a misnomer, since for all the trash-talking in the pre-song packages, these groups are clearly collaborating on their songs and quite happy to do so. This may be the friendliest reality show on television.
The "Kats and Voice Play lead off with "Eye of the Tiger." They're having fun with it, obviously, with lots of workout moves and pretend punches thrown. But it's just not clicking for me. Maybe this song has just been so overused as a pump-you-up piece that it's lost some of its oomph for me.
Things pick up a bit with Ten and Vocal Rush teaming up for "Fame." The fact that Vocal Rush is able to go toe-to-toe with a group of people who have sung alongside industry giants and hold their own proves how damn good they are. They make the song feel fresh, and I'm prepared to think this will be the best Sing-Off of the evening.
....And then Home Free and Filharmonic do "I'm Alright" and I stand corrected. More than the other pairings, these two groups used the song to show off their unique styles and personalities. More than that, though, it is so much fun. They hold down a sweet bass groove (Tim gets to rock the "dit-dit-dit-dit" part). They trade lead singers. They pit their vocal percussionists against each other. Rob does the gopher dance. Even Nick Lachey's increasingly cheesy litany of golf puns can't wipe the smile off my face.
A prelude of the final showdown? Before this episode, I would have said absolutely. Home Free is still a solid bet, but The Filharmonic have been last safe for two rounds in a row now and Ten or even Vocal Rush could end up eclipsing them for the top spots if they don't clean up their act in the next episode.
For now though, it's so long, farewell to the AcoUstiKats and Voice Play. Voice Play, I really enjoyed what you brought to the show and wish you the best. 'Kats...don't let the door hit you on the way out, you fraternity prats.

$200 MILLION | USAID | 2020 - 2025
MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience
Version en français
Strengthening health resilience in fragile settings for maternal, newborn, and child health, voluntary family planning, and reproductive health
IMA World Health leads the five-year, USAID-funded MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience project, which is part of a suite of innovative MOMENTUM awards designed to holistically strengthen quality voluntary family planning (FP), reproductive health (RH), and maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) in host countries around the world.
More than half of all maternal and child deaths occur in countries affected by conflict, disasters, weak governance and institutions, population displacements, and other acute and chronic crises. The project's focus on health resilience reduces chronic vulnerabilities and promotes more inclusive health development by addressing risks and responses to shocks and stresses.
Working alongside local organizations, governments, and humanitarian and development partners in fragile settings, the project helps accelerate reductions in maternal, newborn, and child illness and death by increasing the capacity of host country institutions and local organizations—including new and underutilized partners—to introduce, deliver, scale up, and sustain the use of evidence-based, quality MNCH/FP/RH care.
To improve health resilience in fragile settings, the project undertakes a wide range of activities:
Strengthen health systems to expand coverage and use of quality health services.
Assist countries in adapting evidence-based policies, guidelines, and practices at national and subnational levels to meet the needs of specific fragile settings.
Support and strengthen local efforts to collect and analyze data and ensure evidence informs interventions.
Increase public-private partnerships, and expand partnerships between health and non-health organizations, educational institutions, and corporate and philanthropic organizations to diffuse learning, leverage resources, and scale efforts to achieve better outcomes.

I visited Kulai with my parents this week. Before the trip, I made a quick google to find out if there are anything special to explore. Only a distance of within 45 km from Singapore, Kulai seems to be a good fit for a one-day exploration.
Okay, how to travel there? Early in the morning at 6.15am, we took Bus 170 from Kranji MRT station to JB. It is better to reach there early before the morning bus queue builds up.
We arrived at JB Sentral in less than 30 mins.
After checking out of the custom, we headed to buy train tickets at the booth. It costs RM $11 for an adult ticket. You can choose your seats.
The next train ride is 8.30am. With an hour to go, we rested at the mall and had a nibble.
The train arrived. We were directed to the front seats.
The train is air-conditioned. There are standing and squatting toilets available. It has been donkey years since I took a train. I can't remember when also. Nonetheless, the ride was quite bumpy.
The view during the train ride.
We reached Kulai within 45 mins.
There is this "COWBOY" supermart right next to the train station. It was still closed when we reached there.
There is a provision shop next to Cowboy. We took a cab to Aeon Shopping Centre for a walk. The cab cost RM $10.
It is just a short ride of 5 mins.
I guess it was the "early weekday morning" effect. The shopping mall was literally quiet with only few shoppers.
This is my breakfast – nasi lemak. It cost RM $8.90. I love it!
A visit to Cowboy supermart was the highlight of this trip. This mall is literally littered with countless household items and accessories. You can definitely find something you want here.
The pictures I took was just one-side of Cowboy. There were many more items on sale.
And not forgetting to snap some photos of Kulai before we returned to Singapore.
Wah how do you even think about wanting to explore Kulai? I've never heard of it before.
I can't believe how empty the shopping mall is! Must have been really nice shopping there. Never heard of Kulai, but maybe it will be worth a visit since the mall isn't as crowded as the ones near the causeway.
I've never heard of Kulai too! It looks like mustafa to me. Hahaa .
I have actually not heard about this place but it doesn't look crowded not even the shopping mall.
How's the train ride? I think that would really be a real treat for my kids! It'll be fun to just go for the train rides! : ) Thanks!
Your post reminds me that I should attempt another train-journey (not the MRT) with kids again.
Kulai would be good for a day trip, and Eon is so quiet!
Looks and sounds really fun! Gonna add that to my potential day trips this June Holidays.
I vaguely remember Kulai is famous for its seafood, or is it? The train ride will be the highlight for many of our city kids!

You know, I watched the rest of code Geass eventually, and I know exactly where they're going with this. It did have a bitter sweet ending, or did it? And in case other's didn't see it, it's going in a spoiler.
Who was that under the hat? There was nothing that convinced me that LeLouch is actually dead after that scene.

Coincidence? One day after Ephemeral New York ran a post about the heartbreaking notes pinned to babies left at the Foundling Asylum, the UK Daily Mail ran a startlingly similar piece, with the same photos, notes, and practically the same text word for word.
Interestingly, the Daily Mail article has no byline; it was written by a "Daily Mail Reporter." It also includes no reference to the Ephemeral New York post that seemed to have inspired (and I use that term loosely) it.
Special thanks to Daily Mail commenter Michael for writing in about that paper "borrowing" Ephemeral's story:

The 'UK Daily Mail'??? It's called the Daily Mail, and it's in London. That is in England. When you call it the UK Daily Mail you make it sound like some nasty national newsletter with special attention to Londonderry and Antrim.
Blah. Blah. Blah. Relax yourself.
Michael Kane Says:
The UK differs from the USA. All of London's newspapers (The Times, Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Sun) are national newspapers.

Good for you speaking up about the blatant borrowing of your story. You worked hard on it. I would be embarassed to take something that clearly wasn't mine and call it such. Shameful.

Below you will find a listing of frequently asked questions related to Florida's Roundabouts. if the answer to your question is not shown below, please contact a member of our staff using the following form: Submit A Question
What is the difference between a roundabout and a traffic circle?
Traffic circles are much larger than a roundabout and often have stop signs or signals within the circular intersection. Roundabouts are smaller and vehicles have to yield before entering. A good example of a traffic circle is the intersection of US1 and Hollywood Blvd in Broward County (Click here for a Google Maps link). Roundabouts typically operate at relatively low speeds (25 MPH) while traffic circles allow higher speeds (> 25 MPH). Roundabouts restrict pedestrians from entering the central island while some traffic circles allow pedestrians to cross to and from the central island.
How do I drive in a single-lane roundabout?
Reduce your speed to 10-15 mph as you approach the roundabout; be aware of bicyclists and pedestrians; look left for oncoming traffic (traffic moves counter-clockwise); yield to vehicles already in the roundabout, wait for a gap and enter; do not stop in the roundabout; do not pass other vehicles; use turn signal to exit the roundabout to the right; yield to pedestrians crossing the exit lane; allow emergency vehicles to pass.
How do I drive in a multi-lane roundabout?
Follow signs and pavement markings to determine the lane(s) that will serve your destination; follow all tips listed for the single-lane roundabout.
How should drivers yield to emergency vehicles?
If you have not entered the roundabout, pull over to the right and allow the emergency vehicle to pass. If you have already entered the roundabout, continue to the closest exit and pull over once you are beyond the splitter island to allow the emergency vehicle to pass. Never stop in a roundabout.
Should I stop inside the roundabout to let someone in?
No. You may slow down so the safe gap becomes more obvious to the driver wanting to enter the roundabout; however, you should not stop after crossing the yield line and are actually in the roundabout circle.
How are pedestrians accommodated?
Pedestrians use marked crosswalks. All roundabouts have splitter islands that separate the approach and exit lanes. This splitter island is used as a pedestrian refuge for crosswalks requiring pedestrians to only cross a single direction of traffic at a time.
What about visually impaired pedestrians?
Roundabouts may have an advantage to the visually impaired because they only have to address a single direction at one time and they can more easily distinguish between the vehicle noises. Also, slower vehicle speeds are generally safer for pedestrians.
How are bicyclists accommodated?
Bicyclists should be encouraged to both share the travel way with vehicles in a roundabout, or dismount and use the sidewalk and crosswalk system to navigate through the roundabout.
How will large trucks be accommodated?
Roundabouts are designed to accommodate all the turning movements of a tractor trailer rig. To accommodate the sweep of the trailer wheels as it makes its way through the roundabout, a truck apron is constructed around the inside of the circulating roadway. The apron is constructed of a different material or colored differently than the circulating roadway, to distinguish it and to make it clear that the truck apron is not something to be driven over by smaller vehicles.


WOW!! Elizabeth, what a beautiful scene.
Elizabeth, the colors are so calming and beautiful! I need to get up before sunrise!
The perfect photo Elizabeth! Really love it.
Elizabeth, this is GORGEOUS ~ the ultimate way to start or end your day!
The rosy color on the water's surface and at the shoreline is fantastic!
Belated Congratulations on a very well-earned Second Place Winner!

my eJournal and images - Daily Since 2003: All Hail, the Great and Powerful WD-40!
All Hail, the Great and Powerful WD-40!
I haven't much room for tools in the apartment. There's a box in one closet with assorted and sundry items. More importantly, there was duct tape but I had run out of magic in a can.
I bought a can of WD-40 today in hopes it will fix a problem I've had for, probably, five years.
On occasion, the dome light in the ancient Ranger doesn't shut off. After we close the doors to the vehicle we can turn around and see the inside light remains on. Well, eventually, it does as go out as when I go down to check a half hour later, it's off. However, the little bulb gets far too hot and I took off the white, plastic shade as it looks like it melted a bit. This has been going on for years, but it has just never concerned me too much. Or last least it didn't bother me enough to try to fix it. Recently, I simply took out the bulb but that does sort of defeat the purpose of having a light in the ceiling, doesn't it?
So, a quick search on the Internet showed this has been a well-known problem for this particular vintage Ranger for at least 15 years. There are even YouTube videos. I thought I may as well try out possible fix #1.
This only involves soaking the door latches in WD-40. Why not? It sounds easy and like it'd be worth a try. I did the first blasts in the mall parking lot next to the Walmart entrance. I sort of made a mess as it leaked on the parking stall floor. So, when coming back to our own driveway, I stopped the truck and gave both sides another dose.
I am hoping this will prove enough. It's possible that the switches in the locks got too stuck or rusty to ever work again. We'll see.

NASA Is Looking For A Few Good Nukes - To Power Space Exploration
James Conca
I write about nuclear, energy and the environment
Human outposts on the Moon or Mars will require nuclear power.Both NASA and China are stepping up.
The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking proposals from nuclear and space industry leaders to develop innovative technologies for a fission surface power system for lunar power applications, hoping to deploy such a system by 2030.
Chemical fuel and solar panels will no longer be enough to meet the demands of human space exploration or to power an outpost on an alien world. Lunar nights are -280°F and last 14 days. The batteries to store solar power for 14 days would also be prohibitively heavy. The amount of fossil fuel that would be needed to survive these nights would be a prohibitively large weight. A 55-gallon drum of petroleum alone weighing about 400 pounds would cost about $5 million to lift into space. And it wouldn't last very long.
Of course, with no air it's tough to use fossil fuels. But highly oxidizing non-fossil chemical fuels, like liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen or dinitrogen tetroxide combined with hydrazine are even more expensive, a bit dangerous to use and needed for rocket fuel. And beyond Mars, things get a lot worse.
So an actual nuclear fission reactor, carrying out continuous chain reactions for many years, is needed.
The fission surface power project is sponsored by NASA in collaboration with the Department of Energy (DOE) and Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to establish a durable, high-power, sun-independent power source for NASA missions on the moon by the end of the decade, as well as potential subsequent missions. The proposal request targets the initial system design.
Amy Danise
Best Covid-19 Travel Insurance Plans
Published last month, the Request for Proposals calls for ideas for a flight-ready small fission reactor powered by low-enriched uranium. The fission surface power system should be able to provide 40 kWe of continuous power for at least 10 years in the lunar environment.
Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology, or KRUSTY, is a fission power system capable of ... [+] providing up to 10 kW of electrical power for at least a decade. That's enough to power several homes. NASA says four KRUSTY units would be enough to power an outpost on the Moon.
It must fit within a launch configuration of a 12-foot in diameter cylinder and 18-foot length, and weighs less than 13,300 lbs. It should also be able to switch itself on and off independently. The FSP should be able to operate from the deck of a lunar lander or to be removed from the lander, placed on a mobile system and transported to another lunar site for operation.
Proposals are due by February 19, 2022. The maximum contract award is $5 million.
Battelle Energy Alliance, which manages INL for DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy, said there has been significant interest from industry since a draft of the RFP was released in December 2020.
"The feedback and enthusiasm we continue to see for space nuclear power systems has been very exciting," said Sebastian Corbisiero, the Fission Surface Power Project lead at INL. "Providing a reliable, high-power system on the moon is a vital next step in human space exploration, and achieving it is within our grasp."
"Plentiful energy will be key to future space exploration," added Jim Reuter, associate administrator for NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate in Washington, DC, which funds NASA's fission surface power project. "I expect fission surface power systems to greatly benefit our plans for power architectures for the moon and Mars and even drive innovation for uses here on Earth."
This is not the first time nuclear has made an appearance in space. This summer NASA marked the 60th anniversary of a nuclear-powered spaceflight. The Transit IV-A was an experimental navigational satellite with a radioisotope-powered generator, launched by Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory from Cape Canaveral on 29 June 1961.
NASA and DOE engineers lower the wall of the vacuum chamber around the KRUSTY system.
Since then almost all unmanned missions to the planets have used Pu-238 as a power source. But to support humans off-planet requires quite a bit more continuous power.
Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has selected Aerojet Rocketdyne AJRD as the lead subcontractor for the first of three phases toward the development of a dynamic radioisotope power system for a lunar demonstration mission by the late 2020s as outlined in Space Policy Directive-6. It is three times more powerful than previous devices.
NASA's fission surface power project expands on the efforts of the agency's Kilopower project, which ended in 2018. The Agency said a future lunar demonstration will pave the way for sustainable operations and even base camps on the Moon and Mars.
Kilopower is a small, lightweight fission power system developed at the DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) laboratory in partnership with NASA. The system was successfully demonstrated in the Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology (KRUSTY) experiment, which was conducted at the NNSA's Nevada National Security Site from November 2017 to March 2018. KRUSTY used high-enriched uranium powering a heatpipe system and Stirling engine to generate electricity.

But the United States needs to move fast or China will pass us by. China is developing a more powerful small nuclear reactor for its moon and Mars missions. According to researchers involved in the project, the reactor can generate 1 MW of electric power, 100 times more powerful than the devices NASA is looking at.
It takes a lot of power to produce oxygen, water, heat, food, charge rover batteries, manufacture tools and special materials, and smelt ore for metals.

The Tosh community was revived after the Holocaust by Rabbi Meshulim Feish Lowy (Magyarized form: Lőwy Ferencz), the Rebbe of Tosh. Rabbi Lőwy was born in Nyirtass, Hungary, in 5682 Anno Mundi (1921 or 1922). He survived the Holocaust in the Hungarian Labour Service, and was liberated by the Red Army from a camp outside Marghita in October 1944. The few surviving Hasidim of his father, Grand Rebbe Mordechai Márton Lőwy, who perished in Auschwitz with most of his extended family, appointed him their Rebbe, and he established his court in Nyíregyháza. In 1951, fearing the Communist government, he ordered his followers to leave Hungary, and emigrated to Canada, settling in Montreal. In 1963, he and his Hasidim purchased an area in Boisbriand, Quebec, forming the enclave of Kiryas Tosh. Lőwy was married to Chava (née Weingarten), a direct descendant of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk, from 1946 until her death in 1996. He married Malka Hass in 2007.

The Tosh community is headed by Rabbi Elimelech Segal-Lowy, the current Rebbe of Tosh.

Collected teachings
Many of Rabbi Meshulim Feish Lőwy's sermons and discourses have been written down in a series of five books entitled Avodas Avodah. Two of them are Hebrew-language books that explain the weekly Torah portions, and the Jewish holidays, with practical insights into divine service which are subtitled: Dibros Kodesh. Further two are Yiddish-language books that explain the weekly Torah portions, and the Jewish holidays, with practical insights into divine service which are entitled: Imros Kodesh. Another is mostly in Hebrew, but has Yiddish segments. It is a compilation of addresses that the Tosher Rebbe has made regarding the Yahrzeit (day of passing) of a large number of Jewish holy men, arranged according to the Jewish calendar. It is subtitled Sichos Kodesh. A second volumes of "Sichos Kodesh" appeared in 2009.

First day ever of testing on the Argentine track of Temas De Rio Hondo round of MotoGO. The riders of the Pramac Racing team entered the track from the first second of the session to take advantage of all the time available on the new track in Termas. The track was particularly in lack of grip due to the presence of dirt and sand on the asphalt causing the rear tire to spin a lot in acceleration, this sliding abnormal determined a sudden degradation of the tire. Tomorrow the track conditions should gradually improve with more rubber on the racing line.
Andrea Iannone - Pramac Racing - during the FP1 takes on the track trying to find the best racing lines of this completely new circuit, he ended the first free practice session in fourth position with a good overall feeling. In the second free practice session Andrea and the team worked to find the solution to the problem of the deterioration of the rear tire, unfortunately the work was slowed down by a crash on the fifth lap caused by a technical problem. Back on track The twenty-four year old ends the day with the tenth lap time 1'41 "924 improving it by almost two seconds from the morning session.
"This morning we were fast from the start, I could had a lot of confidence with the track despite the lack of grip. I'm sorry that in the second free practice session after a few laps we had a technical problem and I had a bad crash, because in that point of the track we go very fast. I have a bit of a headache but for the crash I had I could have gotten hurt much more. I thank the team and the ducats for support. "
"I am happy with the way I took on the two practice sessions today, I managed to improve little by little. I feel that the setting of the bike is almost ready, we need to work on some small details for qualifying practice. The track is very slippery but I can handle the bike and stay on the racing line. tomorrow I will do my best to finish qualifying with a good result. "

In Dvaita philosophy, Tamo-yogyas are a group of souls, classified by Madhvacharya, which consists of the souls who are damnable. Madhvacharya divides souls into three classes: one class of souls which qualifies for moksha, or liberation (Mukti-yogyas); another as subject to samsara, eternal rebirth or transmigration (Nitya-samsarins); and a third class that is eventually condemned to eternal hellish life in Andhatamisra (Tamo-yogyas).

According to Madhvacharya, Naraka (hell) is temporary for sinners like thieves and drunkards, but not for those who express eternal hatred against God, the Dvaita gurus or the Vedas. Therefore, the eternally damned would consist of the most evil, sadomasochistic living entities, including the demon Kali, who although carries out the orders of God also enjoys being punished, and who is said to be the most wicked being. They would sink down into Andhatamisra, which would remain independently during every kalpa. Some Dvaitins regard this as an expression of universal kindness, because it would fit in with their nature, comparing it to the neem tree, which prefers bitter minerals for its growth.

Istanbul National Park: a haven in Turkey's megacity
istanbul ,
By: Cameron Deggin
Created : 31 December 2021
Picture the scene: you're lounging beside a lake in a leafy park. The sun is shining, and birds are singing in trees that rustle in the slight breeze. You scan the horizon: trees, gentle hills, water and winding paths. The rustling and chirping of birds is all you can hear - and the occasional sound of your children, laughing as they through the grass.
Later on, you'll catch the metro into town, a short journey that will bring you, blinking from the contrast, into the vibrant heart of Istanbul. Here, you can catch a show, eat at one of the world's top restaurants, or head to a club.
At the moment, this vision of a green, peaceful city oasis is just that, a vision. But the dream is about to become a reality with Istanbul National Park, an urban green space three times the size of New York's famous Central Park.
Istanbul National Park is set to flourish by 2023 on the former site of Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, no longer in use after the gigantic Istanbul New Airport was completed and air operations shifted to the modern facility.
When the park was announced in 2018, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the "incredible city park" would be a landmark, joining the ranks of London's Hyde Park and New York's Central Park.
Last year, the project was given a boost with a government drive to provide more green spaces to the public. Part of this drive means converting unused facilities into parks: as well as Ataturk Airport, two stadiums in Bursa and Ankara are set to become communal green spaces.
A green space in a megacity
The Boulevard homes next to Istanbul National Park
Property Turkey director Cameron Deggin lauded the project, which he called "visionary".
"The need for green spaces and places has never been greater," Deggin said. "When cities went into lockdown, we began to reassess what was important. Space and natural surroundings are absolutely critical to well being, which is why this project is absolutely timely."
Deggin's clients are increasingly looking for "greener options", he said.
"They don't want grey, concrete surroundings. They want proximity to parks, leafy areas, a pathway along the river."
Deggin said interest for The Boulevard Project, a development near the proposed site of Istanbul National Park property, was set to grow.
"Absolutely, I have no doubt it will be one of the most sought-after projects in the city," he said.
What will we find at Istanbul National Park?
With such a large area, the potential to make the park enjoyable for residents and tourists alike is almost endless.
Based on other planned projects, Istanbul National Park and property could include:
Walking tracks that weave through gardens and woods, around lakes and end at picnic areas.
Lakes, creeks and other water features.
Sports and leisure facilities: like gym equipment, racketball courts, bicycle hire and pedalos.
Environmental projects: community gardens, fruit trees, permaculture opportunities, gardening workshops.
Local flora: a showcase of Turkey's unique trees and plants and flowers.
A centre for concerts, exhibitions and biennials.
A large leisure attraction, like the UK's London Eye.
Vanishing green spaces
Data from World Cities Culture Forum in 2015 revealed that the percentage of green public spaces in Istanbul was 2.2%, a sad contrast to London, which consists of 47% green space.
However, the government is determined to increase this share of green space. And with a greater need for outdoor spaces due to Covid, the public is in agreement with the official drive.
In Istanbul, other green spaces are in the works, with Erdogan promising transformation in Basaksehir, Maslak, Pendik and Bakirkoy.
A tourism asset
Pre-pandemic figures show the number of visitors travelling to Istanbul each year was more than 13 million.
While tourist numbers are still low, they are set to recover. And with green space more important than ever before for travellers, the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TURSAB)'s 2017 guess that a million tourists a year will visit Istanbul National Park now seems conservative.
TURSAB chairman Firuz Baglikaya explained that city parks are a central feature of large cities; green hubs that are as much of an attraction as the city's history, art or cuisine.
"Just like Central Park in New York and Hyde Park in London, the city park will be the landmark of Istanbul," he said.

Pietro Guarneri, född 14 april 1695, död 7 april 1762, var en italiensk fiolbyggare från Cremona och medlem av den berömda fiolbyggarsläkten Guarneri. År 1717 flyttade han till Venedig för att lära sig fiolbyggarhantverket och 1733 öppnade han sin egen ateljé. Det är också efter 1733 som han tillverkade sina bästa instrument som kännetecknas av en blandning mellan den Cremonianska och Venediska folbyggarskolan. Pietro Guarneri är också känd som Pietro da Venezia, eftersom han bodde i Vendedig största delen av sitt liv.

Striving all of my life to become or be recognized as an artist, like many others pursued my dream independently. Raising a family, owning a business, life in general put my dream on hold for an extended period. Joining North Mountain Art League gave me direction, opportunities to show and improve my work.
Today I have paintings and sculpture in many galleries across the Northeast, marketing online, and have work in private collections in 14 countries. Three years ago I began teaching Wire Bonsai Tree classes at galleries and my home in Bloomsburg, Pa. As the saying goes, follow your dream. Don't wait.


ALA Inc. has extensive experience working with children who have diverse learning needs. We offer structured one-on-one teaching using Direct Instruction programs.
Typically, students attend our clinic for two one-hour sessions per week. Two hours each week is not always enough time to remediate significant gaps or gaps in more than one skill area. Kids who struggle in all basic skills (reading, writing, comprehension, and mathematics) may not be getting their needs met within their current academic setting. Time-sensitive goals, such as switching schools, preparing for transition years, or recovering from illness can create a need for a more intensive model of intervention. In these instances, we can provide a half-day model of support. The student attends ALA for morning sessions focused on the remediation of basic skills, and returns to their school setting for content-rich instruction and to maintain relationships with their peer group.
We will give you personalized advice based on your child's cognitive profile, academic skills, and your family's goals to determine the most appropriate model of intervention for your child.
All of our academic programs are carefully selected based on a single criterion: success. Direct Instruction is backed by more than 50 years of research, showing its effectiveness in improving academic skill. The student/t must master each skill before moving forward, ensuring lesson retention and boosting self-confidence.
To achieve your child's academic remediation goals, we recommend a minimum of two one-hour sessions per week.
Parents receive regular interim progress reports prepared by your child's teacher. There is also an ongoing dialogue between the teachers, parents and our senior consultants. Additionally, our senior consultants are constantly monitoring progress through mastery tests and internal checks built into the programs.
After a year of instruction, or approximately 80 sessions, each student completes a follow-up assessment. Although we use similar assessment tools to the original assessment, the testing is different enough to prevent the "practice effect." This allows us to see the exact progress made, and to make changes to programming if necessary.

Ground hog day
VanderLaan notches a new career high for rushing yards
Posted by Harrison Watt on October 3, 2012 in Football, Sports.
Cutting to the Outside: Redshirt freshman Jason Vander Laan watches the opposing defense as he and senior running back Skyler Stoker combine for a hand-off earlier this season. They have bonded for a total of 853 yards on the run and 8 of the Bulldogs 12 touchdowns from the rushing unit. Torch File Photo
When a quarterback rushes for 214 yards, two touchdowns, throws for another touchdown, and manages to hold onto the ball for nine more minutes than the opposing team, a win should be imminent.
Yet a late charge by the nationally 16th-ranked Saginaw Valley State Cardinals cost Ferris State a possible fourth win on the season in a heartbreaking overtime loss.
Ferris State took a late 24-17 lead with 11:04 remaining in the fourth quarter when redshirt freshman quarterback Jason Vander Laan added to his career high 214 rushing yards with an 11-yard touchdown.
Saginaw Valley State was able to piece together a drive, ending in a Tim Hogue 13 yard touchdown reception with just 1:25 remaining.
Ferris State got the ball back, but stalled on the Cardinals 37 yard line where the Bulldogs threw three straight incomplete passes after a second down false start. Possession was given back to Saginaw Valley State with 21 seconds left in regulation.
The Cardinals moved the ball down to the Bulldogs 30 yard line with enough time to attempt a potential game winning 47-yard field goal as time expired.
Saginaw Valley State's field goal attempt fell short but the Cardinals found new life in overtime. The Cardinals were first to possess the ball in overtime, which allowed SVSU to score on a one-yard touchdown pass to SVSU's Nathan Hoyle.
The Bulldogs began their charge toward the Cardinals end zone down 31-24 in overtime. On fourth down and 20, Vander Laan was sacked and the Bulldogs conference record fell to 2-2.
"The one thing was they pressured us a little more in OT," Vander Laan said. "We were used to getting three or four yards a play regardless. So when we got stopped on first and second down, it put us in a really tough situation on third and long."
Ferris State will travel to Allendale next to face off with the nationally 4th-ranked Grand Valley State Lakers, who are coming off a shoot-out 51-43 win at 22nd-ranked Michigan Tech.
The Lakers were up 34-0 at one point in the second quarter, and were outscored 43-17 the rest of the way.
To beat the Lakers, Vander Laan and company will have to exploit their own strengths, including their rushing game in which they have two of the top six rushers in the conference in Skyler Stoker and Vander Laan. Ferris State leads the conference in total rushing with 1655 yards.
"The main key is to reduce all of the turnovers," Vander Laan said. "We know our offense can put points up on the board."
That being said, the rushing offense will have to keep up with the number one offense in the conference. Grand Valley State averages 51 points a game, which is 17 more than Ferris State scores.
Grand Valley also holds a narrow edge in total offensive yards, as they have gained 2443 yards, to Ferris State's 2383.
In order for Ferris State to remain competitive, they will have to prevent Grand Valley's quarterback Isiah Grimes from getting the ball to Charles Johnson.
Johnson has caught 38 passes for 647 yards and eight touchdowns on the season so far. Johnson is Grand Valley's equivalent of Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson, as he sits at or near the top in every receiving category in the conference.
The Bulldogs will really have to lockdown on Johnson because they give up nearly 270 yards through the air per game, which is near the bottom of the conference.
Ferris State will have to get to Grimes before he can get the ball off and with senior defensive ends Jordan Morgan and Brad Iskow, the Bulldogs have a good opportunity to do so. Iskow is ranked of the conference in tackles for a loss. Morgan is also in the top five in the conference with 3.5 sacks.
"Our defense has looked really good the last couple of games," Vander Laan added.
If the defensive line and linebackers can take care of Grimes, they will have a good shot at keeping the game close into the second half, where Grand Valley struggled so mightily last week.
The Bulldogs will try to snap an 11 game losing streak to the Lakers, who hold a 27-12-1 record all-time in the Anchor-Bone Classic.

Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called LAMEY live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called LAMEY represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called LAMEY in Pennsylvania than any other state, but you are more likely to find a LAMEY by picking someone at random in Mississippi than anywhere else.

Spray pyrolysis system was used to obtain ZnO thin films on glass substrates. The optical defects and crystal structure of the films were been investigated by use of X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals polycrystalline character of prepared films with wurtzite structure and preferential orientation along (002). UV-vis measurement exhibited that the films have optical transparency in the visible region of about 80%. Photoluminescence (PL) studies of the deposited films in the interval indicates several peaks that observed with increasing time the number of peaks increases and the peaks are sharper.


Explores how continental philosophy can inform environmental ethics.
This groundbreaking collection explores the intersection of phenomenology with environmental philosophy. It examines the relevance of Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas for thinking through the philosophical dilemmas raised by environmental issues, and then proposes new phenomenological approaches to the natural world. The contributors demonstrate phenomenology's need to engage in an ecological self-evaluation and to root out anthropomorphic assumptions embedded in its own methodology. Calling for a reexamination of beliefs central to the Western philosophical tradition, this book shifts previously marginalized environmental concerns to the forefront and blazes a trail for a new collaboration between phenomenologists and ecologically-minded theorists.
Contributors include Charles S. Brown, Edward S. Casey, Christian Diehm, Lester Embree, Irene Klaver, Erazim Kohák, Monika Langer, John Llewelyn, Don E. Marietta Jr., Ted Toadvine, David Wood, and Michael E. Zimmerman.
At Emporia State University, Charles S. Brown is Professor of Philosophy and Ted Toadvine is Assistant Professor of Philosophy.
