The Florida Marlins bolstered their bullpen Thursday by acquiring left-hander Arthur Rhodes from the Seattle Mariners for minor league right-hander Gaby Hernandez.

Florida, in the thick of the NL East and wild-card races, made the deal a few hours before baseball’s 4 p.m. EDT trade deadline.

The 38-year-old Rhodes is 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA with 26 strikeouts in 22 innings. He has a lifetime record of 77-61 with a 4.28 ERA in 689 games.

Rhodes’ career appeared in jeopardy when he underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2007. But he came back ahead of schedule this year, returned to the Mariners in mid-April and pitched effectively.

Rhodes was the Mariners’ main lefty setup man after they traded George Sherrill to Baltimore in an offseason deal for Erik Bedard. But Seattle’s season quickly fell apart and with so few save opportunities for the bullpen, Rhodes wound up as a situational lefty.

The 21-year-old Hernandez went a combined 5-8 this season with a 6.47 ERA in 17 starts for Triple-A Albuquerque and Double-A Carolina.

pleae give information about that or what do you think?

I’m not a Quebecer, and I’m not French Canadian. But I sincerely believe the city of Montreal has the highest standard of living in Canada. In fact, Montrealers can teach the rest of Canada what culture and lifestyle is all about!

do you spread the jam on the inside of a victoria sponge to the edges of the cake????????????????????

heat the jam and or use a hot knife

I have been on 2mg and she gave me 5mg yesturday. Is it higher powered?? Or are the 2mg better? Just curious! She told me the 5mg would be cheaper, why is that? Thanks for the info

Valium 5mg tablets 2½ times stronger than your previous Valium 2mg tablets. You will feel more of an effect from the medicine. The 5mg tablet is cheaper because it is mass produced more than the 2mg strength you previously had, therefore cheaper to produce which leads to a lower retail cost. Hope this helps, stay healthy.

…………..

5 mg is more than 2mg…The 5’s are stronger….I do not know why they are cheaper but they are stronger than the 2mg

…………

5mg is more powerful then 2mgs. No clue why it is cheaper

What is a flash flood? How does it happen? Can it happen anytime, or do certain things have to happen first?

A flash flood is sudden flooding that occurs when floodwaters rise rapidly with no warning within several hours of intense rain. They often occur after intense rainfall from slow moving thunderstorms. In narrow canyons and valleys, floodwaters flow faster than on flatter ground and can be quite destructive.

But flash floods can develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible signs of rain

——

A flash flood is a flood that results from high intensity rainfall in a short period of time. The ground does not have enough time to absorb the water, which causes it gather above the ground and raise rivers and streams up considerably. This can happen at any time as long as the rainfall intensity is high enough. Its more likely to happen when the ground has already received too much rain and a severe thunderstorm suddenly arrives and dumps a lot of rain quickly.

In the lab you examined two types of flow measurement structure a thin plate weir and a venturi meter. Below is a set of data colleced from an experiment carried out with a venturi meter. The table contains data on the difference in water level(H) in the piezometer tubes located at the entry to the venturi meter and its narrowed section and the measured volumetric flow rate (Q). The diameter of the venture meter was 60mm at its entry and its diameter was 25mm at its narrowest section.Given the data below estimate the empirical coefficient of discharge.

H(mm) - Q(I/s)
50 - 0.48
100 - 0.57
150 - 0.83
200 - 0.95
250 - 1.06
300 - 1.17
350 - 1.25

The theoretical formula for discharge is:

Q = c Av

Where:
Q = the rate of discharge
c = coefficient of discharge
A = the area of the discharge opening
v = the velocity of discharge

However the velocity of dicharge is related to the the pressure head by:

v =(2gH)^(1/2), hence the discharge can be exprssed in terms of h as:

Q = c A sqrt(2gH), therefore;

c = Q/(A sqrt(2gH))

This means that c is proportional to Q/sqrtH.

The next step is to check which of the sets of data does not fall within normal variations by dividing the value of Q by the sqrt of H. Thus:

H ___ Q _____ Q/sqrtH
50 ___0.48 _____ 0.0679
100__ 0.57 _____ 0.057
150 __0.83 _____ 0.0678
200 __0.95 _____ 0.0672
250 __1.06 _____ 0.0670
300 __1.17 _____ 0.0675
350 __1.25 _____ 0.0668

The above shows that the set of data at H = 100mm is outside of the norm and may be discarded.

The mean value of Q/sqrtH may be obtained by linear regression. But since the tablated values except the discarded one, are almost the same then the average of this values may be used. Hence, Q/sqrtH = 0.0674

For H = 1000mm (1meter) Q = 0.0674sqrt1000 = 2.131 l/sec
=0.002131 cu.m /sec

The area of the orifice is:

A = pi((25/1000)^2)/4 in sq.m

Thus the coefficient of discharge is;

c = Q/(Asqrt( 2gH))

= 0.002131/(pi(0.025)^2)/4)sqrt(2×9.81×1))

c= 0.98

Tell whether the graphs of the pair of equation are parallel, perpendiculat or neither

5x + 5y =1
5x-5y =9

5x+5y=1
5y=1-5x
y=(1-5x)/5
y=-x+(1/5)

5x-5y=9
-5y=9-5x
y=(9-5x)/-5
y=x-(9/5)

The slope of the second one is the negative reciprocal of the first so they are perpendicular lines

For a lame example Let’s say I’ll tell her “Oh, we went out for pizza, she will say “I knew it, I knew it!” & jumps up and down like a teenage girl….or if I don’t do something her way, lets say food…but it takes longer because I try something different, she’ll say, “I told you so!” but she does this over different things when I see her, it drives me nuts…what can I say, if anything?

I can relate to that. There is nothing worse than someone who knows it all (or thinks they do). The only way I have found to deal with it is to say to yourself, “yeah yeah” and carry on doing what you started. Short of being rude everything else appears to run off like water off a duck’s back.

…………….

Say, yeah, I knew it too, I just did it that way for YOUR benefit.

………….

I knew you would. You must really love me to be able to read my mind like you do.

My goal for this school year is to become more active in helping preserve the environment. I’m already starting to spend more on the organic stuff and less on the other stuff, and my family is going to start recycling soon once we get in contact with the nearest company. What else can I do to help though?

Become a volunteer helping to clean beaches,parks etc.,recycle,use public transportation and assist in organized groups that have ongoing events to do such. Study classes like horticulture, marine biology and read books and literature pertaining to our enviornment. Learn about Global Warming and what U can do.
