Hey, let’s go for a walk!
Pet leashed, we set off into the Captain Forster Hammock Preserve, reached via the dirt road Jungle Trail along the Indian River Lagoon in Vero Beach.
If you move to Florida and you like venturing into the outdoors beyond your pool, patio and probably-tiny backyard, you quickly learn that “hammock” isn’t just that nice thing to laze around in…
(The Dream, 1844, by Gustave Courbet, from Wikipedia hammock)
A hammock is also a term for a landscape feature. Think “hummock” but bigger.
Hammock is a term used in the southeastern United States for stands of trees, usually hardwood, that form an ecological island in a contrasting ecosystem. Hammocks grow on elevated areas, often just a few inches high, surrounded by wetlands that are too wet to support them.
It can be a nice place for a walk too, if there are trails.
In this hammock the first living creature we got a good look at was this Zebra Longwing.
They are notable for their long life (compared to other butterflies) and their consumption not just of nectar but of protein-packed pollen too… and the two things seem to be connected.
Zebra Longwings live an unusually long life, and can survive more than a month as adults rather than the typical 1–2 weeks as most butterflies. This is partly because they ingest pollen as well as nectar, giving the Longwings an extra source of protein.
(Inspired, I added whey powder to my breakfast smoothie while writing this blog post.)
This 110-acre preserve is owned by Indian River County.
The Preserve contains one of the largest remaining coastal maritime hammocks on Orchid Island. The site was home to Captain Frank Forster, one of the first Orchid Island residents who homesteaded on the barrier island growing winter vegetables and fishing along the Indian River Lagoon.
Water and dry land were close together in the preserve, as is true in most of Florida… especially in the wet season.
The ubiquitous saw palmetto, Serenoa repens, with its fan-shaped fronds.
I almost didn’t post about this walk because this is a bird blog and we didn’t really see many birds that day, despite what we were promised. 153 species have been sighted at this eBird hotspot… by others.
But I decided to share the photos anyway because of the unique habitat. We found great examples of native plants that are recommended for planting in your Florida yard to support birds, like the beautiful American Beautyberry, Callicarpa americana.
From the Florida Wildflower Foundation…
American beautyberry is a woody shrub found in pinelands and hammocks throughout Florida. The plant’s foliage offers cover for small wildlife. Its flowers are a nectar source for butterflies and bees, while its dense clusters of berries provide food for birds and deer in late summer and fall.
I also posted because of this fuzzy photo, which I would normally discard but it’s the only image of a new-to-me bird. We spotted it oddly walking along – not hopping, like most little birds – in the leaf litter.
It’s an Ovenbird! (Confirmed on What’s This Bird, my favorite online double-check and bird identification crutch.)
The Ovenbird‘s rapid-fire teacher-teacher-teacher song rings out in summer hardwood forests from the Mid-Atlantic states to northeastern British Columbia. It’s so loud that it may come as a surprise to find this inconspicuous warbler strutting like a tiny chicken across the dim forest floor. Its olive-brown back and spotted breast are excellent disguise as it gleans invertebrates from the leaf litter. Its nest, a leaf-covered dome resembling an old-fashioned outdoor oven, gives the Ovenbird its name.
It wasn’t singing, just quietly foraging here in what may be its winter home. Are the snowbirds returning already?
The Ovenbird is species #216 for this blog.
John goes ahead. We were the only people on the trails for an hour that morning. Good heeling, Radar.
Another favorite bird-friendly native plant, Wild Coffee, with the somewhat disturbing Latin name Psychotria nervosa.
Trees were mostly live oaks and cabbage palms.
Partridge pea, a wildflower and legume that tolerates poor soil and feeds butterfly larvae. And provides pretty color along the trail, eye food for humans.
Berry time for Wild Coffee. But don’t get too excited about harvesting your own morning cuppa.
Shiny-leaved wild coffee, Psychotria nervosa, is in the same plant family as the stuff you find at Starbucks, but so are at least 5,999 other plants. There are something like 103 species of coffee worldwide, but only three are used to make a cup of Joe. This is not one of the three.
You can indeed make a beverage from wild coffee berries but it A) won’t taste good, B) won’t resemble coffee and C) will lack any caffeine kick. Might even give you a headache.
Almost the color of the wild coffee berries: a Northern Cardinal. We noticed a few males but couldn’t spot the females. Kinda the whole cardinal idea.
We were surprised to find quite a few citrus trees in one part of the woods. Probably leftover from some old groves, maybe even old Cap’n Forster’s?
I believe the historic Jungle Trail was a dirt road originally built to connect the citrus growers in the 1920s on Orchard Island/ Vero Beach.
John tasted one. He rated it “not that great.”
Hello again, cardinal.
From Wild South Florida…
They’re common anywhere you might care to go, deep into the woods, around town and all points in between as long as there are bushes or thickets to provide cover. Florida even has its own subspecies, C. cardinalis ssp. floridanus, found throughout most of the state.
Orange butterfly, maybe a Gulf Fritillary?
We were here.
Here’s the online version, much more readable: Special Places on the Trail & Lagoon.
An hour north of home, we will return to explore along the Jungle Trail one day again soon.

>> A blockbuster deal. Amazon Friday moving to buy upscale supermarket Whole Foods for $13.7 billion. The world's largest retailer has already transformed the way consumers purchase goods worldwide, shifting from brick-and-mortar stores to virtual warehouses. Now apparently, setting its very powerful gaze on how Americans buy food. Shares in U.S. supermarkets tumbling in early trade after the announcement, but Amazon shares jumped around 2% in the first few minutes of trading.
The deal is likely to cheer agitated investors concerned with Whole Foods prospects and management team. The grocers will continue to operate stores under the Whole Foods market brand the company said. John Mackey will continue as Chief Executive of Whole Foods. And the company's headquarters will remain Austin, Texas.
The two companies expect to close the deal during the second half of 2017.


They mentioned that jaywalkers can be held accountable and liable when it is verified the accident occurred at a spot from exactly where they had been not supposed to cross the roads.
“Jaywalking is a concern and people need to be careful. Pedestrians should use pavements and they should not cross roads where there are no pedestrian crossings. It is always best to be safe and follow guidelines,” an ROP official mentioned.
Eng Ali Ahmed al Barwani, a road security professional and member of the Oman Road Safety Association, mentioned roads in Muscat are often busy, with several pedestrians crossing from exactly where they are not supposed to do so, or walking on roads even when footpaths are accessible. “The issue is that jaywalking is increasing. This is something that needs to be highlighted widely and investigated why pedestrians cross roads from non-marked points.”
Eng Barwani mentioned that most of the pedestrians consist of households with youngsters, youth groups and workers. “They are seen on roads around malls, restaurants, as well as on main roads attempting to go to the other side to catch a taxi, for example.”
He mentioned that there are several factors that folks indulge in such habits. “The top one is that there is no legal action taken against jaywalkers in Oman. Although, jaywalking is not considered illegal in many countries, there are guidelines that mandate pedestrians to cross roads the right way. This is important to be included in Oman’s traffic laws, which will contribute in eliminating such unsafe behaviour.”
He added that infrastructure for pedestrians wants a lot more improvements in Oman. “There is a need to add more points to cross roads as well as safer walking areas. It is also important to have more awareness campaigns in various languages to curb jaywalking. I urge pedestrians at all times to look for safe points to cross the road.”
On the other hand, motorists need to be cautious whilst commuting. “Drivers need to be vigilant during the summer season which is also vacation time for many schools. There are many pedestrians on roads especially children who are sometimes not easy to notice. I urge drivers to exercise caution in parking areas such as at malls and stay alert while driving.”

Back pressure valves are designed to enhance pumping system performance by applying a continuous back pressure to the pump, while also acting as an anti-syphon valve.
Diaphragm back pressure valves apply positive discharge pressure to a metering pump system to improve the consistency of dosage rates by shielding the pump from fluctuating downstream pressure. The diaphragm is held against the valve seat by an internal spring. When the preset pressure is exceeded, the diaphragm is forced up and system fluid flows through the valve to the injection point.
Pressure relief valves are designed to protect pumping systems from over pressure damage caused by defective equipment or blockage in the pump system line.
Diaphragm pressure relief valves operate when the pressure in the pumping system exceeds the preset pressure of the valve. The diaphragm is held against the valve seat by an internal spring. When the preset pressure is exceeded, the diaphragm is forced up and the system fluid flows out of the relief port, back to the system fluid tank or to the suction side of the pump.


You’re spot on, thanks again for sharing these terrific hacks. I remember you said on a video or post that you don’t write every time. Right that why you always deliver such valuable stuff. I have to tell you Backlinko is one of my favorite resources out of 3. I’ve just uncover SeedKeywords and Flippa. As LSI became more crucial SeedKeywords seems to be a tool to be considered.
Black hat SEO attempts to improve rankings in ways that are disapproved of by the search engines, or involve deception. One black hat technique uses hidden text, either as text colored similar to the background, in an invisible div, or positioned off screen. Another method gives a different page depending on whether the page is being requested by a human visitor or a search engine, a technique known as cloaking. Another category sometimes used is grey hat SEO. This is in between black hat and white hat approaches, where the methods employed avoid the site being penalized but do not act in producing the best content for users. Grey hat SEO is entirely focused on improving search engine rankings.

However I feel that batching all the things influencers share , filter whats relevant from whats not… and ultimately niche it down to identify which exact type of content is hot in order to build our own is a bit fuzzy.

comme d'habitude by Leanne Staples
comme d'habitude ("as usual") is about the relationship of two people thinking in unison in a world in which they are seen as outsiders. It imagines a carefree existence whether in this world or in another, in which we can still dream and in which we have the ability to fully live outwardly who we are and without judgement.

Miranda Lambert was born in 1983 in Texas. Her interest in music was sparked at an early age after her father, who was also a talented musician, took her to a Garth Brooks concert. Shortly thereafter, as a teenager, Miranda began performing around town in local restaurants, and by the time she was sixteen, she’d appeared on a local musical review show and learned to play the guitar. She formed her own band while in high school, and in 2002, her talents caught the eye of an entertainment attorney. He contacted a number of record labels and producers on Miranda’s behalf, and shortly thereafter, Miranda moved to Nashville to attempt a career as a performer.
The following year, Miranda Lambert entered the Nashville Star television reality show competition, and finished in the third-place spot. The result garnered her a record deal with Epic Records, and in 2004, her debut single, “Me and Charlie Talking,” was released. Miranda’s debut album, Kerosene, followed, immediately reaching the number one spot on the country charts and launching Lambert’s career as a country music star. Three more albums followed: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2007), Revolution (2009), and Four the Record (2011), and a series of hit singles, including: “Kerosene,” “Famous in a Small Town,” “Gunpowder & Lead,” “More Like Her,” “White Liar,” “The House That Built Me,” “ Heart Like Mine,” “Baggage Claim,” “Over You,” “Fastest Girl in Town,” and “Mama’s Broken Heart.” Miranda Lambert’s music has garnered her recognition from the Country Music Association (nominations for the Horizon Award and Female Vocalist of the Year); Academy of Country Music (nominations for Female Vocalist of the Year, Top Female Vocalist, Entertainer of the Year, Single Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year); Grammy Awards (nominations for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Album); the American Music Awards (nominations for Favorite Female Artist – Country); and the Country Music Association Awards (nominations for Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Single of the Year.)
Most recently, Miranda Lambert branched out into acting, appearing on an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2012, and also participated on the show Project Runway as the star for which the competitors were challenged to design attire. She also provided the song “Run Daddy Run” for The Hunger Games, which appears on the film’s soundtrack. Most recently, Miranda Lambert and husband Dierks Bentley announced their 2013 tour, the Locked & Reloaded Tour.

UNDENIABLY provocative is probably the best way to describe the flagship Lexus LC 500 coupe, unveiled at the North American International Auto Show this week, with the 351kW V8 already confirmed for the Australian market.
The stunning four-seater will launch globally in 2017 and is powered by a 5.0-litre quad-cam V8, with the LC 500 the first Lexus underpinned by the company’s new Global Architecture Luxury (GA-L) platform and featuring the world’s first 10-speed automatic transmission in a luxury vehicle.
The LC 500’s visual appeal is defined by an athletic aerodynamic shape, with sensual curves, emotional forms, an available flowing carbon fibre roof (glass roof standard), creating a low, wide imposing stance that come together for a highly functional, passionate package.
A rear diffuser and optional active rear spoiler also help manage airflow during performance driving. It rides on machined cast aluminium 20-inch, or available 21-inch, forged aluminium wheels.
Inside, the coupe’s driving position was calibrated to invite spirited, sporting driving, and help develop easier confidence with a more intuitive control layout.
The power delivery to the rear wheels for LC 500 is handled by a new set of components that maximise output to the wheels. The heart of the new LC 500 is derived from the proven, high-revving 5.0-litre V8 that is found in the RC F and GS F.
The naturally aspirated V8 was selected for its smooth, linear throttle response and emotional engine sound. The all-aluminium, 32-valve V8’s output targets 351kW and 530Nm.
The LC 500 will also boast Lexus’ renowned safety technology, Lexus Safety System +, which integrates several of Lexus’s active safety technologies: the Pre-Collision System (PCS) helps prevent and mitigate collisions; Lane Keep Assist (LKA) helps prevent vehicles from departing from their lanes; Automatic High Beam (AHB) helps ensure optimal forward visibility during nighttime driving, and All-speed Active Cruise Control (All speed ACC).
As part of a multi-faceted approach to active safety, the Lexus Safety System + package combines millimetre-wave radar with a camera, achieving high reliability and performance.

Open Letter to the National Spiritual Assembly re Gays in the Baha'i Faith
by Daniel Orey et al.1993-09-20
September 20, 1993
To The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís United States
From a Group of concerned Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Straight Bahá'ís and their friends
The Bahá'ís and their friends who gathered in Reno, Nevada from the 3rd to the 5th of September, 1993 want to sincerely thank the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States for supporting this historic gathering. Without your love and support, this weekend could not have occurred. For many of us, it was the first opportunity to speak honestly about the pain, hurt, and confusion we experience because of the lack of tolerance and acceptance of us from our Bahá'í brothers and sisters. Our devotions on Sunday morning included the naming of the many people we once knew who had passed on due to suicide or complications from AIDS, and the recitation of the long healing prayer for their souls and the success of this meeting.
The lives of so many precious friends so tragically cut short gave a special gravity to our gathering. We all experienced a powerful sense of urgency that some new openness and understanding be reached, not only for our own well being, but for the sake of future generations of gay men and lesbians, and further, for the good of the Faith itself. Many of us have been in hiding from our Bahá'í communities, we have all been made to feel unwelcome in our own religion. For a few of us, it seems that alienation, confusion, and despair has been too heavy a burden to bear.
We began with prayers for assistance and by affirming that we are all strong in the covenant, and want to fully support all the Institutions of the Bahá'í Faith. After a weekend of at times painful, open and frank consultation we have produced, as requested by the National Spiritual Assembly, a list of recommendations. The recommendations that follow were taken from individuals throughout the weekend and refined somewhat in final consultation at the close of the weekend. We wish to emphasize that each of the members who put their name to this letter may not agree with all the details of every suggestion. We respectfully seek your guidance, prayers, and support. As well, we humbly, but honestly offer our own unique perspective for your consultation on this issue.
Many of us believe that this issue revolves around the Bahá'í principle of the reconciliation of science and religion. From very real experience, people described their own painful and expensive efforts to change their sexual orientation through counseling and other therapies. This notwithstanding, the advice of therapists who repeatedly point out that all accredited branches of medicine and psychology agree that homosexuality is a normally occurring variation in nature. None of us has found in all our efforts any evidence whatsoever that a homosexual can be changed into a heterosexual by medicine or psychological treatments. Our personal experience supports the accepted view of science. And now, more recent data strongly suggests that sexual orientation is not only non-pathogenic, but prenatal, in fact in part genetically determined. How then is a Bahá'í to reconcile this issue? On the one side, a person's unchangeable sexual and emotional needs, supported wholeheartedly by medicine and psychology and further strengthened by a global movement in Gay and Lesbian rights. On the other side, the morality and censure of their chosen Faith. This is no small dilemma.
Some members of our gathering voiced a desire that, being as gay people have an impossibly difficult set of tests, the National Spiritual Assembly might be appealed to for a "kinder and gentler" approach. Perhaps, with a bit more compassion and mercy, the sex life of homosexuals could be left alone as something personal between themselves and God as long as their behavior did not cause a real public scandal by a 1990's standard.
Other members see this issue in a more liberated light, seeking to sweep aside antiquated homophobic obstructions to the happiness of gay men and lesbians. By this standard of clear scientific facts and modern humanist ideals, homosexuality is seen to be a totally natural and normal variation for a portion of the population and utterly free of any moral stigma. These bravely idealistic Friends would look for the Faith to ultimately accept marital relationships between life partners exactly as in heterosexual marriage. Whatever the future holds, we all agreed to appeal to the National Spiritual Assembly for some new guidance and a change in the sad and frustrating status quo. We respectfully recommend, in light of a number of deaths from suicide and AIDS and the growing number of HIV positive believers in the American Bahá'í community, that the National Spiritual Assembly take action to foster the acceptance of all gay and lesbian people as whole individuals in the Bahá'í Faith, and to include them completely in Bahá'í community life.
In recent decades homosexuality has emerged from centuries of unspeakable repression blossoming almost overnight into a worldwide movement of liberation and civil rights. During the Inquisition, homosexuals were tortured and killed as satanic heretics. Lesbians have been reviled, hated, and burned as witches. Countless thousands of gay men and lesbians were herded into railroad cars by the Nazis never to be seen again. Not long ago, people were "committed" to asylums by their families for electric shock treatments and strapped to tables for lobotomies simply because their desires did not conform to the majority. It is any wonder that people so terribly oppressed would be receptive to the healing message of Bahá'u'lláh? Can it be that the same pervasive winds of change affecting the entire world, opening peoples eyes to oppression, hoisting the banner of justice, eliminating prejudices of all kinds, can it be that this liberating wind has blown in an unanticipated direction? It seems exactly that way from our perspective. It is obvious that a new world order is being created before our very eyes. We simply ask to be allowed to be a part of the work of building it. We respectfully offer the following points for your consultation.
1) Fear and ignorance of homosexuals within the Bahá'í Community: Our experience suggests that there are large numbers of gays and lesbians in the Bahá'í Faith. Furthermore, many heterosexual Bahá'ís are supportive of gays and lesbians. Insofar as there are no known therapies to alter a person's sexual orientation, the friends and Institutions of the Faith should show greater compassion and forbearance in regarding homosexual Bahá'ís. We recommend that Bahá'ís whose sexual orientation is homosexual, should be encouraged to strive to uphold the same standard as any other Bahá'í (to live a chaste and holy life). In the words of the beloved Guardian,
Only when an individual's behavior becomes a matter of genuine public scandal, such as in the case of public sexual behavior, which would result in general public condemnation and scandal; should administrative action be taken, and then with great constraint. (ref. letter from the Guardian 20 August 1955).
An atmosphere of trust, understanding, tolerance, and love, in which gay and lesbian Bahá'ís are treated, as all human beings, in a fair and unprejudiced manner should be encouraged. Since Bahá'ís are exhorted to avoid prejudicial behavior in general (See: Goals for current 3 Year Plan), we would like to see attitudes of love, understanding, and compassion combined with a sense of justice and fair-mindedness practiced by every Bahá'í community. We believe this is a critical step in approaching the issue of homosexuality, and a vital step if the Bahá'í community is to overcome all obstacles to the oneness of humanity as envisioned by the Blessed Beauty.
2) A Moral Double Standard: Gay or lesbian Bahá'ís need support in their individual search for peace and truth to best live the life given to him/her by the creator in a society filled with so much prejudice and hatred. The issue of private behavior is a most sacred and personal issue between the individual and God. We request Bahá'í institutions and communities to resist the temptation to judge us so harshly, inasmuch as no one truly knows the life, the feelings, needs, and tests of another. Our own experience is that often the perceived "sinner' was subject to backbiting., intolerance, and unkindness by Bahá'ís who righteously believed these acts were in the best interest of preserving the image of the Faith.
We see an obvious inequity in the uneven application of "sexual misconduct" standards in the same community between heterosexuals and homosexuals: perceived transgressions by gay and lesbian Bahá'ís usually result in the removal of administrative rights while similar acts of heterosexuality receive more lenient treatment or are ignored altogether. Also, homosexual Bahá'ís are treated different from one community to the next, leading to inconsistencies in the application of sanctions among Bahá'í communities.
We recommend that all cases where rights have been removed be reviewed and reassessed in light of current knowledge on this subject, and that action be taken to bring all gay and lesbian believers (active and/or inactive) back into their communities with an attitude of love and acceptance.
3) A Committee on Homosexuality: We recommend that a committee, consisting of professional, sensitive, learned, and well respected, gay male, lesbian, and heterosexual Bahá'ís should be established to develop a positive course of action, response, and support for the gay and lesbian friends, the general Bahá'í community, and families of homosexuals. The group should be directed to develop a plan to enlighten and educate the American Bahá'í community concerning homosexuality, and to assist the American Bahá'í community to study recent developments in AIDS, sexuality, psychology, and medical research on the subject.
4) BPFLAG: We recommend the establishment of a Bahá'í Parents and Friends of Gays and Lesbians (BPFLAG), which would be modeled after PFLAG, an international organization sponsored by many churches and other organizations worldwide. This would include the development and dissemination of literature describing resources available to Bahá'ís and non-Bahá'ís alike regarding the Bahá'í view of tolerance and forbearance towards all people, and gay and lesbian people in particular.
5) Speakers Bureau: In conjunction with the above goal, the Gay Bahá'í Fellowship (which is a teaching institute that educates and supports gay and lesbian Bahá'ís and people who are HIV+), would be pleased to provide a resource to the Bahá'í community that can create and foster greater compassion and understanding on this subject. There are many volunteers, willing to share their experience with Bahá'í communities seeking information on homosexuality. This could include educational programs for communities who request it, at Bahá'í schools, etc. As well, we are developing a video tape that may be useful in this respect.
6) A Clear Statement About Whether Gays and Lesbians are Welcome in the Bahá'í Faith: We are deeply concerned that serious damage is being done to the reputation of the Bahá'í Faith. Large numbers of gays, lesbians, and their friends are attracted to this religion, but will not enroll, and ultimately loose interest because of the official stand on this issue. Many people and organizations view our stand on homosexuality as inconsistent with the teachings of the Bahá'í Faith. We are concerned as well as to its consequences for the propagation of the Faith amongst members of the larger progressive religious community, human rights organizations, and the scientific community as a whole. This growing and extremely negative impression of the Bahá'í Faith is a direct result of fear of homosexuality (homophobia) and its resulting intolerance. This impression is reinforced by actions which have been taken by the institutions of the Faith which leave many individuals seeking support and comfort among non-Bahá'ís who can not understand. We feel the prevailing misinformation, negative attitudes, and harmful stereotypes in many Bahá'í communities towards homosexuality is doing serious and possibly irreparable damage to the Cause of God.
7) We recommend that Auxiliary Board Members and their Assistants should be provided appropriate, up to date materials, resources, and background on this subject. We are concerned that the focus to date has been one of "changing" sexual orientation which is not a reachable goal, in light of current scientific findings.
8) We Request the National Spiritual Assembly to instruct individual Local Spiritual Assemblies to discontinue encouraging marriage as a cure for homosexuality. This recommendation, carried out by well intentioned Bahá'ís has produced disastrous and painful consequences for spouses, children, and families. We seek, and pray for an open attitude towards, and the discussion of the effects of HIV in the American Bahá'í community. In light of the dramatic and worldwide devastation of AIDS, lists of resources and support organizations should be made available for all Bahá'í institutions and individuals, as soon as is possible.
9) We are willing to come to Wilmette and consult with the National Spiritual Assembly about these recommendations. We look forward to and pray for reconciliation and healing in the Bahá'í community on this issue.
Again, we thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our efforts to gather and consult about these vitally important issues in an atmosphere of trust, safety, and love. We also want to thank the Local Spiritual Assembly of Reno, xxxx, and members of the Gay Bahá'í Fellowship for organizing this historic weekend.
Be assured of our continued love, and faithfulness in service to the Cause of God.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the following participants,
Daniel Orey [ other names deleted ]

In what could be the worse case of officiating since the Colorado/Missouri 5th down game, 1984 OU/Texas game or the 1972 Olympic Basketball final... the Oklahoma Sooners were robbed of an apparent victory.
As one could see in this video, the ball carrier, Taurean Henderson, butt hits the turf before he reaches out and crosses the goal line. Therefore the game should have expired with score OU 21, Texas Tech 17.
And this happened after the officials gave a Texas Tech almost a yard on a fourth down spot that also gave the Red Raiders a first down.. when it should have given the Sooners the ball with less than a minute left in the game.
This Fort Worth Star-Telegram writer, summed it up well when he said "I have just watched the ending of the worst-officiated game in college football history".
I didn't hear this but I saw this quote referenced on the internet:
"If you stand on a tuna can in Lubbock, Texas, you can see for 250 miles. If you stand on the goal line, apparently you can't see anything!" - SportsCenter 11/19/05
Perhaps the officials were blinded by that dude in that hideous horse pig costume.
That had to be it...
Coming up next: The fraud known as Pistol Pete.

Convex sharpening: not complex at all!
We get a lot of questions about knives with a convex edge and how to sharpen them. Which knives have a convex edge? How do I sharpen a convex edge? Which tools and techniques do you need to sharpen a convex edge? In this article we will try to answer all your questions as best we can!
What is a convex grind?
A kitchen knife is usually enhanced with a flat grind, a Scandinavian bushcraft knife with a scandi grind and hunting knives with a hollow grind. The grind stands for the way the edge of your knife is sharpened. A grind which has led to a lot of questions is the convex grind. Here the grind runs from the spine (the top of the blade) towards the edge without interruption. As such the blade gets that famous convex shape that characterizes the convex grind. Do you want more information about the different grinds? If so check out the different grinds.
A convex grind has a couple of important advantages. A good convex knife can have a stronger edge, and still have a smoother cut. You namely miss the angular shoulder a flat grind does have. As such this type of grind is very popular for bushcraft knives. Knives with a convex edge are incredibly sharp and can handle heavy-duty tasks without losing their sharpness. They are therefore also perfect for wood work.
Why sharpening convex knives is easy
Sharpening your own knives is getting more and more popular. Sharpening a flat grind, scandi grind or hollow grind is done the same way. You hold the knife at a fixed angle and move the knife, in the same angle, alongside, for instance, a sharpening stone. As mentioned before, a convex edge has a curved blade. However, sharpening stones are flat, so how do you sharpen a round surface with a flat stone?
Many think that a convex grind is difficult to sharpen. However, with the right knowledge sharpening a convex edge is actually really easy!
When you sharpen at a fixed angle you are constantly focused on sharpening your knife at the right angle. As soon as you change the angle you can change the edge of your knife. The problem is that sharpening by hand is not very accurate. You will never be able to sharpen with a fixed angle without using sharpening aids. When you sharpen a convex edge you don't use a fixed angle. As such you benefit from the lack of precision when you sharpen by hand. As such sharpening a knife with a convex edge by hand feels very natural. In addition, with a convex edge you don't just sharpen the very narrow edge but the entire blade. As such you have more room for small errors. As you can see there are many things to be mentioned that emphasize that sharpening a convex edge is easy!
Ways to sharpen a convex edge
The easiest way is using a sharpening machine. The grinding belt moves with you as you hold the knife against it, which causes the belt to bend. As such you will always sharpen with a 'convex' angle. We believe the Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition with the Blade Grinding Attachment is perfect
Sharpening on sharpening stones is the most popular way to sharpen knives yourself. You can easily sharpen a convex edge with a sharpening stone. Place the blade on the sharpening stone to make sure the edge is not resting on the stone. Sharpen back and forth over the entire length of the sharpening stone, and slowly turn the edge towards the sharpening stone until you are using the right angle and the edge completely touches the sharpening stone. Do this until you have sharpened the entire blade and sharpen the other side of the knife afterwards. Repeat this as often as possible until you have reached the desired result.
Another option is sharpening the knife with a piece of sandpaper. Sharpening on a piece of sandpaper on a hard surface is the same as when sharpening with sharpening stones. However, when you use sandpaper you can create your own soft surface. Think, for instance, of a mouse pad. By lightly applying pressure you press the blade and the sandpaper into the mouse pad to make sure the sandpaper follows the convex edge of the blade. As such you can easily sharpen a knife with a convex edge.
It is, technically speaking, not impossible to sharpen a convex edge with a sharpening steel. However, because of the small surface with which the knife hits the sharpening steel, it will take forever to sharpen your knife.
Sharpening systems or sharpeners are often not the best option to sharpen convex knives. Sharpening systems are designed to constantly use the same fixed angle. On the Wicked Edge, for instance, you could sharpen your knife with a fixed angle and afterwards constantly move one degree until you have sharpened the entire blade. This, however, could take quite a while.
What do you need to pay attention to?
As mentioned before you shouldn't sharpen a convex edge with a fixed angle. Try to sharpen the entire blade at the same time. It could help to use a marker and colour the entire blade to see which spots you did and did not sharpen.
Sharpening a convex edge, however, does change the finish of the blade. Especially when you sharpen on a coarse stone or belt you will see scratches on the blade. Because you sharpen the entire convex edge you will see these scratches on the entire blade. This does mean, however, that you can see if you have sharpened the entire blade. By increasing the grain size you can remove these scratches. However, only when you polish or strop the blade you will completely remove the scratches.
By loosely moving your wrist over the sharpening stone, you will never sharpen at the same place or use the same angle. As such you automatically create a convex edge.
Make sure that at the end of the stone you don't turn the knife too far upwards. Gradually turn the edge towards the stone as you sharpen the knife. As soon as the edge 'cuts' into the stone you have reached the ideal cutting angle. Don't turn any further!
Technique is very important so it won't hurt to first try it out with a cheap or old knife with a convex edge.
It might take some getting used to but sharpening a convex edge is easier than sharpening using the same angle. With a convex grind you sharpen the entire curve of the blade and not just the edge / the cutting surface. If the curve runs over the entire blade (up to the spine), it is even easier to sharpen. You namely don't have to stop sharpening halfway through the blade.
Sharpening on a sharpening machine always leaves you with a convex edge. Sharpening by hand leaves you with a slightly convex edge because you never really use the same angle. You could, however, with the right rocking movements, easily sharpen a convex edge on a flat sharpening stone.
You could always use a marker to cover the blade. If you still see some colour when you are done sharpening, there are parts of the blade that still need to be sharpened. Constantly check the blade as you sharpen the knife.
As with most things you learn most by doing it. That is why you should definitely try to sharpen a convex edge! Use, just in case, an old or cheap knife with a convex edge when you get started. You will see that it is not as difficult as you thought! Are you still left with some questions? Please don't hesitate to contact us.

They come up with ideas So GOOD, that they would like to force everyone to comply. However, this ‘forcing’ their will on the people has been done…pick up a history book folks…and it has not gone well. Government of course does have its place, I’m not advocating anarchy. But how about keeping it in place to ENSURE people’s freedoms such as in ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’. Our founding fathers were extremely intelligent and thoughtful in putting it together and were very passionate about seeing it through. In fact it was this very freedom that was the foundation of this great country and why so many still seek it within it’s borders today.
I understand how many voted for the current president wanting ‘change’ when all they really needed to do was pack their bags. That’s what my parents did when they brought my family here when I was only seven years old..legally…I might add. I’m not saying that what we had didn’t need improvement. Of course it did, even those that call themselves conservative (wanting to conserve what’s good..get it?)often act like socialists.
Then that brings us to the question ‘what’s so bad about socialism anyway’? Distribution of wealth sounds amazingly good to the good hearted soul. In fact I, a staunch conservative try to practice it in my own life as much as it is possible for my situation in life. Ahhhh…and there’s the rub…that freedom thing again. An idea so good that we should force it? At what price?
What socialism tries to do is create a utopia here on earth through legislation…all the while trying it’s hardest to replace the Judeo/Christian worldview. See…the difference is free will. I’ll try to give you an example. Let’s visit a family of four. Mom, dad and their two children. One is living under a socialist regime. Mom and dad both have to go to work because the majority of their pay check goes off to the government. They in turn need to put their children in government funded programs as soon as possible, so that both parents can be making money to manage their family. Children learn in such environment…well…pretty much anything government so chooses. Freedom? Well…not so much for anyone else who may have a different view of how their life should go. What about helping your neighbor and those in need? Sorry…no time…besides ‘we gave at the office’…that’s what the government is for isn’t it?
Family number two lives under a democracy (not to be confused with Democrats…lol)that is run within a conservative administration. Taxes are minimal, meaning that it may be possible for the family to skimp and save and be able to live within a single income. Meaning that one parent can now stay home and raise and teach their own children. It means that the world that they are striving to live in, is one created by the family unit and not imposed on them from the outside. Hence…FREEDOM! No…things are not handed to them. Hard work is definitely a part of it, but so isn’t a sense of responsibility and accomplishment. Something that we have definitely lost in recent years. Now back to those less fortunate…what happens to them without government aid. Well, supposing that the majority of them have family, friends, parishes etc…those are the best people to help out. For those that don’t…and there ARE dire situations that require government assistance…the small amount given to the government will help in those cases as well as church and other private charity funds.
I really believe that our biggest differences don’t come from what we’d like to see accomplished…but on how to go about it.

Mix butter or margarine in a bowl, adding sugar and vanilla sugar. Then add the whole egg, mix and then the yolks and mix again.
Gradually incorporate the flour mixed with the starch.
We put the obtained composition in a pos (I had one with a big tip, which is why my cookies came out bigger, thicker and less)
Grease a tray with a little oil and line with baking paper.
Sprinkle the circles and sticks directly into the tray. I needed some power to sprint, but I succeeded, especially since the composition of the hand softens a little from the heat of the hand.
Put the tray in the preheated oven at 190 degrees for 13-14 minutes.
We do the same with the next round.
Remove the cookies from the tray on a paper towel and leave them to cool.
For the glaze, if we use Dr. Oetker's glaze, put the envelope in hot water exactly as it says on the package and when it has melted, pour it into a plate. If we use chocolate, we break the chocolate into pieces and together with a teaspoon of butter we melt it on a steam bath.
Dip each cookie one by one in the chocolate icing and garnish with the colored candies, then place them on a wire rack until the icing hardens. The icing on the plate gradually hardens, but we solve the problem with 10 seconds in the microwave or on the steam bath, as it is easier.
After the icing has completely hardened, we put the cookies in a metal box, so they can be kept for 2-3 weeks. That's if you have the patience to keep them for Christmas, for example, because in our country cookies are eaten super fast and in a few days they disappear from the box.
We liked it so much that next week I will definitely make another portion.

Kuiken Brothers, the nine-unit chain of New Jersey lumberyards and design centers, will hold an Aug. 19 groundbreaking on a new distribution facility in Succasunna, a community in Roxbury Township. The 12-acre facility, built on the site of a Wickes lumberyard destroyed in a fire, will encompass 130,000 square feet of covered storage. Kuiken Brothers already operates a design center, KB Concepts, on the same site.
“This has been on the drawing board for five years,” company president Doug Kuiken told Home Channel News. The distribution center will serve all of the Kuiken Brothers locations with dimensional lumber, panels, engineered wood products and other building materials, Kuiken said.
Ranked No. 64 on the HCN Top 350 Pro Dealer Scoreboard, Kuiken Brothers serves the northern New Jersey and southern New York markets from Fair Lawn, Emerson, Midland Park, Ogdensburg, Wantage, Garfield, Succasunna, Roseland and Warwick, N.Y. Revenues in 2007 were $130 million.

Rob Van Dam
|Rob Van Dam|
|From||Battle Creek, Michigan|
|Finisher||5 Star Frog Splash|
Rob Van Dam is one of the original faces of ECW; he’s a former European, Hardcore, Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion. Not to mention a former Money in the Bank winner, which he later went on to cash in at ECW: One Night Stand 2 in June 2006 and claimed his first WWE Championship by defeating John Cena. The following week Paul Heyman presented RVD with the ECW World Championship to replace the WWE title however Van Dam opted to keep both belts. He went on to lose both his championships within 48 hours to Edge (WWE title) and The Big Show (ECW title). Rob Van Damn was put out of action on June 3rd 2007 at One Night Stand where he defeated Randy Orton in a stretcher match, but was assaulted afterwards.
WWE SmackDown!: Shut Your Mouth
This would be RVD's first game in a World Wrestling Entertainment branded game, after heavily rumored to be in Just Bring It alongside other Alliance wrestlers. He is, by default, part of the RAW brand and is the Intercontinental Champion during Season Mode. he has a high-flying style with many custom moves, such as the rolling thunder and of course, his Five-Star Frog Splash finisher. He has different alternate in-ring attires that can be unlocked at the ShopZone stand during Season.
WWE SmackDown!: Here Comes the Pain
Rob Van Dam was once again part of the RAW Brand and this time started off holding the since-defunct Hardcore Championship.
Due to copyright issues, Van Dam's usual in-ring music "One Of A Kind" by Breaking Point was replaced by his original ECW Alliance theme music which was featured during the Invasion storyline. His moveset was expanded to include his unique kicks and his aerial-kick, which was not featured in Shut Your Mouth!. His finisher remains the Five-Star Frog Splash with pin animation as a carryover from the previous game.
WWE Smackdown! vs RAW
RVD now wrestles on the SmackDown! brand. His theme song is back to being "One of a Kind" by Breaking Point.
WWE Smackdown! vs RAW 2006
RVD is back to being a RAW superstar, but appears on SmackDown! in season mode.
WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2007THQ decided not to allow anyone above the cruiserweight class to access the martial arts style. However the technical grapple (hold R1/B and flick the right analogue stick left) has some familiar moves often performed by RVD in the WWE, such as the RVD Enzuigiri and the Faint Wheel Kick. In fact, there aren’t many grapples you can do without coming across a unique move of RVD’s, by whipping your opponent into the turnbuckle you can execute the Monkey flip and Van Dam’s Shoulder thrusts, when your opponent is on the mat you can hit the Rolling thunder or climb the turnbuckle and execute the Superstar press pin, the list goes on.
RVD is a heavyweight, so he is able to lift everyone with the exception of The Great Khali. With a Hardcore attribute at 9.5 it’s obvious that Van Dam is best suited to matches where weapons are legal such as Hardcore, Last Man Standing and First Blood matches.
Once again copyright issues have prevented the inclusion of RVD's theme song "One of a Kind". In its place, his theme song is "Fury of the Storm" by Shadows Fall; a song performed for him on the CD, WWE Wreckless Intent.
Speed: 8Stamina: 8.5
Smackdown vs Raw 2011
Despite being signed with another wrestling company  for over seven months before the game's release, Van Dam makes his return to the SmackDown series as part of the Legends in SmackDown VS Raw 2011.

Drip pulls color into Winnipeg’s grayscale winter terrain, transforming the site’s snow and ice into a spectacle of light, color, and transparency.
Colored sheets of ice hang like stained glass from a simple wooden scaffolding. Water is harvested on site, mixed with pigment, and misted onto a series of gridded wire panels to produce sheets of colored ice. The sheets are supported by a structural timber frame that materially complements the nearby woodlands. Inside, an aged log provides a perch for repose and contemplation. Over time, melting snow causes the facade colors to bleed, streaking downward to produce new hues — a prismatic dance on an icy canvas.
Borrowing from the materiality of Winnipeg’s sublime terrain, Drip transforms the landscape into a luminous sanctuary, a humble shrine to a fallen tree.
Drip’s structural panels are constructed off-site, loaded onto the skid with cut segments of gridded wire fencing, and transported to the Assiniboine River. At the site, the timber frames are assembled around a fallen tree to form the structure for Drip — four walls, with one end pulled away to create an entrance. Meanwhile, the fence panels are misted with river water and red, blue, and yellow non-toxic pigments. After a few days of misting, the frozen panels are mounted on the completed frame and Drip stands as a colorful beacon against the bleached landscape of winter.

In the last trading session, the stock price of Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE:OAS) jumped more than 9% to close the day at $8.16. Earlier in August, the company reported that for the quarter closed June 30, 2017, it completed and placed on production 10.8 net operated wells, based in Williston Basin. During the month of July, the production came at more than 66,000 Boepd. The company anticipates to complete as many as 48 gross operated wells in the Q2 2017.
Taylor L. Reid, the COO and President of Oasis Petroleum, reported that the company firm is well placed to implement its plan for 2H 2017, as they integrate their next internal frac spread and competently increase completion activity. Their completion design innovation across their core acreage position, including Indian Hills, Alger and Wild Basin, continues to offer uplifts in production, and the company’s wells continue to be highly economic in the prevailing commodity price environment.
Thomas B. Nusz, the CEO and Chairman of Oasis, announced that the imminent six months showcase the core of their 2017 program and will put the base for everything to emerge in 2018 and beyond. The quality of the asset platform they have built and the team strength gives him remarkable conviction around the upcoming success of Oasis. They are confident in their ability to execute and to manage their business wisely in what continues to be a continually changing market.
Second quarter production was unfavorably impacted by increased workover activity and a completion plan weighted towards the close of the quarter. The company has put in incremental dollars on workovers in the reported quarter, which coupled with quarter completions, helped July production to cross 66,000 Boepd. G&A came at $23.5 million in the second quarter of FY2017, $21.9 million in the Q2 2016 and $23.8 million in the Q1 2017.

When I was growing up, I was an avid science fiction reader, and voraciously chewed up just about anything I could get my hands on. And as part of that, we all knew about the ABC’s of science fiction: Asimov, Bradbury and Clarke. This morning, I caught the news that Arthur C. Clarke had died, leaving only Bradbury from the ABC’s.
I always enjoyed Clarke’s work, and have been reading his work since I was a kid. In my opinion, he had a better grasp of the science end of science fiction than almost any of his contemporaries. His writing went beyond just the science though; for me, he could spin quite a yarn. Just read the first part of Chapter Seven of The Songs of Distant Earth. If that description of the end of our solar system doesn’t touch you, I don’t know what will.
Happy trails, Arthur C. Clarke. Enjoy what’s next.

I just finished a book that I'm feeling passionate about. Unfortunately, the sites I review for don't cover general fiction, but since I feel so strongly about it, I have to tell someone.
If you write, I strongly suggest you pick up The Hakawati by Rabih Alameddine (Knopf, publishers). It's almost impossible to describe this book as it's many stories at once. You only get pieces of each, and it's hard to see where the narrative is leading, but the stories are so engrossing that I gave up linear thinking and happily followed them to the end (where the stories did converge).
Other than being a riveting read, the reason I suggest writers read this book is that I feel sometimes we lose a sense of where stories come from. For thousands of years, stories weren't written down. When we began to rely on print, I think we started to lose some of the great traditions of spellbinding storytelling. The Hakawati isn't just a story about a family, It's a story about their stories, and they way those stories are passed on.
Family stories are probably the last bastion of the oral storytelling tradition. We rarely write them down. The only people who know them are family, and we only bring them out when family gathers. They give us a sense of who we are, and give structure to the complicated ways we relate to blood.
This book made me think about the craft of writing. No - it made me think about the craft of telling a story. They should be the same thing, but if you write, I'm sure you understand the subtle difference. Literary writing too often focuses on the beauty of language, not on the story. And while words strung together like jewels may be beautiful, they tell us nothing.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James' Divorce Finalized
By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 28th 2010 02:47PM
Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are no longer legally married.
The couple's divorce was finalized in Travis County, Texas, TMZ reports. Bullock filed papers on April 23, describing the marriage as "insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."
Just days after taking home her first Academy Award, Bullock learned her husband had been having several affairs, when the first of the women -- Michelle "Bombshell" McGee -- came forward with her story.
Jesse was then implicated in seven extramarital affairs.
Although James and Bullock worked together to adopt Louis Bardot back in January, custody was not an issue in the split, as James dropped his name from the adoption papers. James has three children from previous relationships.
The 'Monster Garage' host and the actress wed in 2005.
