Q: I bought bullfrog tadpoles for my pond. What do I need to know about them?
Iris – Kirkland, WA
A: Those big croaking amphibians sure love living in a water garden. Bullfrogs gobble pesky bugs and nibble on nuisance algae while entertaining their human hobbyists with their leaping prowess and trance-inducing ribbit-ribbit songs.
When they're adults, bullfrogs are impressive creatures: As one of the largest frogs in the world, they grow to 8 inches long and weigh up to 1½ pounds. When they're tadpoles, they're impressive, too. The dark green swimmers measure up to 6 inches long, which is larger than most other frog species, and sport a dorsal fin that begins behind its arrowhead-shaped body.
Caring for your tadpoles involves understanding their habitat, diet and developmental stages. Here's what you need to know to grow your baby bullfrog into a beefy bug-eating adult.
Healthy Habitat
Bullfrog tadpoles like to swim in shallow water on fine gravel bottoms. As they grow, they tend to move into deeper waters. They have speckled-skin camouflage to help protect them from predators, but you should still plan to provide a wide variety of floating and submerged plants, like parrots feather, frogbit and water lilies, as well as rocks and other hides to your pond. The little guys will hang out among them should a hungry bird or fish fly or swim by for a bite to eat.
Algae, Please
When they're young, bullfrog tadpoles are herbivores that love to nibble on the string algae that forms along your rocks and under plants. Though they have been observed eating frog eggs (gasp!) and other newly hatched tadpoles, the algae should keep them more than satisfied – at least until they become adults. That's when they become carnivorous critters with a hankering for bugs, rodents, reptiles, birds, small fish and even an occasional bat.
From Tadpoles to Adulthood
While they're in their tadpole – or pollywog – stage, these tiny gilled critters live exclusively in the water. But after about one year, the tadpoles will start to grow legs. Shortly thereafter, they grow arms. As their tails shorten, they develop lungs and their gills disappear. The tadpole, now several years old depending on where it's growing up, has finally transformed into a froglet that can make the leap from water to dry land.
Once your tadpole has grown into an adult, you can expect that bad boy to be around for 8 to 10 years. Enjoy your new pond pal! Ribbit!

How to Use the Images Photo 1
Photo 1
The school has been refurbished to reflect a classroom from the late 1800s or early 1900s.
Questions for Photo 4
1. What objects do you see in the interior of the school?
2. How is this classroom different from your own classroom?
3. Look at the school desks. Imagine yourself sitting in one. What do you think lessons in this building would be like? What similarities do you think there would be in the way teachers and students interact today? What differences do you think there would be in the way they relate to each other?
4. How might the community use the interior of the school? Are there any clues in this picture?
* The image on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Photo 4, but be aware that the file will take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Rybod needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
LoveMachine is a band comprised of global multi-instrumentalists. The members of the band switch off playing instruments often in order to stay engaged, challenged and to keep the music vibrant. They transcend any single genre because they are capable of composing in any genre. They have a rebellious nature. They don't like established trends. They want to save the world. They have a dry and irreverent sense of humor. The members come from very different backgrounds. They are neither masculine nor feminine. They believe that all people are creative and innovative. They believe that fear is the mind killer.
"Their latest album, 'Evolution of Consciousness' is another progression from organic to digital instruments and lyrically evocative of a world on the brink of disruptive and glorious change." - Village Music Insider
LoveMachine is looking for a logo that is not too serious and not too whimsical. The logo should not overtly have 60's or drug overtones. It should be iconic and stand alone without the need for the font/name. Imagine something that would be a great tattoo. The logo should be prominent and simple enough to be compelling with or without color. What is the equivalant of The Rolling Stone's lips?

Matt Moore made his 18th start of the season last night for the Rays, so there's plenty of data out there on him and his tendencies. That didn't stop Rays TV analyst Brian Anderson from using the word "command" eight times and "fastball" nine times before the first inning was even over, though.
And for those of us who were unable to hear Anderson, that in-depth graphic above was there to tell us Moore basically needs to throw the ball hard and be accurate, while helpfully adding that Moore also needs to be accurate and throw the ball hard.

Maxine from Kiwime's Kreations
I am a New Zealander, a mother and grandmother, who has been stamping for some 15 years, for a long time on my own, having been introduced to it by a local stamp company, whose owner was a friend of mine. She asked me to try some embossing at her place one evening - I went feeling quite skeptical, but the rest is now history - I was hooked!! It is only relatively recently that I have found friends to stamp with.... I think I may have introduced one or two of them to the craft. I have no particular brand of stamp that I favour, or any one particular style.
I love trying 'new to me' techniques and getting messy, but my style tends leans toward being CAS, although I can, and sometimes do, 'gussy it up' with layers, paper and lace, but not a lot of three dimensional flowers and accents as postage gets too expensive, and the results can get crushed!
Thank you for giving me the honour of sharing my work here as a Guest Designer

A crib skirt has two main functions: 1) it looks cute as can be, and 2) when it hangs all the way to the floor, it creates a secret, under-bed storage space. For our sleek and modern baby boy nursery, we choose a crisp pleated skirt rather than ruffles. This helps with arguments down the road, such as when my son claims deep emotional scars from wearing his older sister's ruffled overalls (it was one small ruffle on the pocket and he was two... come on!).
Unlike most fabric collections that are filled with coordinated prints in multiple colorways, color is what this story is all about. Michael Miller's Color Story concept combines hues that consistently work so well together, they create their own ambience, their own feeling... their own story. These fabric color pairings are also currently prominent in other areas of fashion, interior style and pop culture, such as: Citron-Gray, Aqua-Red, Cocoa-Berry, It's a Boy thing, It's a Girl Thing, Lagoon, Orchid-Gray, Retro, Rouge et Noir, Sorbet, and Urban Grit.
Like good friends who hang together over time, Michael Miller's Color Story pals will evolve from one release to another. Their stories will update and build momentum as color trends evolve, but their compatibility will remain. You'll be able to add new fabrics within the same Color Story, knowing they'll fit in and work well together.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome New Home 7700)
Fabric and Other Supplies
- 4 yards of 44-45" wide print fabric for the outside skirt panels: we used Citron Tiny Gingham from the Citron-Gray Color Story by Michael Miller Fabrics
- 1¾ yards of 44-45" wide print fabric for the inside of the skirt pleats and the pleat ties: we used Gray Quarter Dot from the Citron-Gray Color Story by Michael Miller Fabrics
- 6¾ yards of 44-45" wide solid fabric for the skirt panel lining: we used Cotton Couture Broadcloth in Soft White by Michael Miller Fabrics
- 1½ yards of 44-45" wide solid, inexpensive fabric for the platform piece to which the skirt panels attach: we used a basic cotton muslin
NOTE: When purchasing muslin, pay attention to the writing on the side of the fabric bolt. It will list the width of the fabric. Muslin comes in 36", 38", 44", 45", 90", 108" and 120" widths (there may even be more, I got tired at 120"). You can buy bleached and unbleached muslin in different thread counts and qualities. This fabric is going to sit under the mattress of the crib and hold the skirt in place, so buy the cheapest you can find. In a lot of instances, the quality of the fabric is of importance, but this is not one of those instances. Buy inexpensive muslin or use anything you have on hand.
- All purpose thread
- See-through ruler
- Fabric pen or pencil
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Tape measure
- Straight pins
Getting Started
NOTE: Our skirt is sized for a to-the-floor drop of 22", which is a standard drop from the highest mattress setting (the new-born setting). As your baby grows and you lower the mattress, you can take up some of the length by folding up and pinning the platform piece. Many people remove the skirt once the mattress is dropped to its lowest position. If you'd like a shorter skirt, adjust the 23" lengths shown below to your preferred length. Measure from the bottom of the mattress to the floor, then add 1" for a seam allowance.
- From the fabric for the skirt ties and the inside of the pleats (Grey Quarter Dot in our example), cut the following:
TWELVE 7½" long x 3" wide strips. These will be your Skirt Ties.
SIX 13" wide x 23" high rectangles. These will be your Inside Pleat Panels.
- From the fabric you are using for the main outside skirt panels (Citron Tiny Gingham in our example), cut the following:
TWO 25" wide x 23" high rectangles. These will be your 25" Center Skirt Panels.
EIGHT 15" wide x 23" high rectangles. These will be your 15" Side Skirt Panels.
- From the fabric you are using for the lining panels (Blanca-White Cotton Sheeting in our example), cut the following:
TWO 77" wide x 23" high rectangles. These will be your Long Lining Panels.
TWO 41" wide x 23" long rectangles. These will be your Short Lining Panels.
- From the fabric you are using for platform piece (basic cotton muslin in our example), cut ONE 29" x 53" rectangle.
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
Make and attach the skirt ties
- Find the TWELVE 7½" long x 3" wide strips.
- Fold each strip in half lengthwise (so it is now 7½" long x 1½" wide) with right sides together. Align all raw edges. Pin in place along the long edge and one end.
- Using a ½" seam allowance, stitch together along the pinned long edge and one end, pivoting at the corners.
- Clip the end corners and turn the tie right side out through the open end.
- Push out the corners so they are nice and sharp, using a blunt tool, like a chopstick or a knitting needle. Press the tie flat along seams.
- Repeat to create all 12 ties.
- Find the SIX 13" x 23" rectangles, which are your inside pleat panels.
- Lay one panel right side up and flat on your work surface. The rectangle should be vertical.
- Pin a finished tie to each 23" side, measuring 4½" down from the top 13" raw edge. Align the open raw end of the tie with the side raw edge of the pleat panel. Pin in place. Edgestitch in place to secure prior to the final seaming.
- Repeat for all SIX pleat panels (2 ties per panel).
NOTE: To keep the ties out of the way while you sew the remaining steps, pin them in place at the center of the panel, pinning from the right side of the fabric.
Side skirt panels
- Find the EIGHT 15" wide x 23" high rectangles, which are your 15" side skirt panels.
- With right sides together, pin ONE 15" skirt panel to the LEFT side of one pleat panel (one of the six panels on which you just attached the ties). Align the two panels along one 23" edge. Pin in place. Stitch together, using a ½" seam allowance.
- With right sides together, pin another 15" skirt panel to the RIGHT side of another pleat panel. Align the two panels along one 23" edge. Pin in place and stitch together, using a ½" seam allowance.
- Find the TWO 25" wide x 23" high rectangles, which are your 25" Center Skirt Panels.
- With right sides together, pin the LEFT pleat panel/skirt panel pair to the left side of ONE of the 25" center skirt panels. In other words, align the left pleat panel's remaining 23" raw edge with the left 23" raw edge of the center skirt panel. Pin in place and stitch together, using a ½" seam allowance.
- Repeat to pin and stitch the RIGHT pleat panel/skirt panel to right side of the 25" center skirt panel.
- You should now have FIVE panels sewn together to create a completed side skirt. Turn this sewn 5-panel piece so it is right side up.
- At each of the four seams, press the seam allowances towards the pleat panel, and edgestitch through all layers on the pleat panel. This is called 'understitching' and will help keep the final pleat edge nice and sharp.
- Find the TWO 77" x 23" Long Lining Panels.
- Place one long lining panel right sides together with the completed five-piece side skirt panel. Align all the raw edges. Pin along both ends and across the bottom edge.
- Using a ½" seam allowance, stitch these three sides, pivoting at the corners.
- Clip both corners, and turn the piece right side out. Press flat along all three sewn edges.
- Pin the top raw edges of the outer skirt panel and lining together, then sew together with a ¼" seam allowance. This secures the layers and allows for easier handling when pleating and attaching to the platform piece.
- Find the center point of each pleat panel. You can do this by folding the panel in half and marking with a pin, or you can make a light crease with your iron. You can also draw a line with your fabric pen or pencil, but be SURE it will brush away or disappear with exposure to the air.
- Pull the seams on either side in towards the center marked line to form a box pleat, as shown below. Press flat.
- Pin along the folded top edge of the pleat so it stays closed, then sew closed with a short horizontal line of stitching approximately ¼" from the raw edge. The bottom edge of the pleat remains open.
- With your remaining pieces, repeat all these super fun steps to create the second side skirt panel with its two box pleats.
End Skirt Panels
- You should have four remaining 15" side skirt panels, two remaining pleat panels, and two remaining short lining panels. You will use these to create the two end panels.
- Follow the same steps as above for the side panels, but create a simple three-panel unit for each end: side skirt panel - pleat panel - side skirt panel.
- Edgestitch (understitch) at each seam line, attach the lining, turn right side, edgestitch the layers to secure, and pleat. It's all just as you did above, but each end panel has just one pleated panel.
Attach panels to the platform piece
- Find the 29" x 53" platform piece.
- Pin one side skirt panel right sides together along one 53" side of the platform piece. Align the raw edges, but center the side skirt panel so there is ½" of platform piece extending beyond each seamed end of the skirt panel.
- Sew this first skirt panel to platform piece with a ½" seam allowance.
- Repeat to attach the opposite side skirt panel to the platform piece.
- Next attach each end panel along the remaining 29" sides of the platform piece in the same manner.
- At each finished corner, flip the muslin triangle corner back towards the inside of the panel, and press flat.
- Flip the skirt over so all the skirt panels are facing right side out. Press all four skirt panel/platform piece joining seams flat.
- Center the platform piece on the crib's mattress platform, and pull the skirt panels down into position. The side openings will wrap nicely on either side of a standard crib's corner hardware.
- Drop the mattress into place and tie the pleats closed.
NOTE: Our pleat ties are meant to tie close with a simple knot rather than a bow. If you'd like to have a bow, increase the starting length of the ties from 7½" to 15".

Tuesday 13 November 2012
One of Britain's oldest trees, a small-leaved lime at the Forestry Commission's National Arboretum at Westonbirt, will be cut back this week as part of a tree management cycle dating back centuries.
A mix of traditional and modern techniques will be used to coppice - cut back to stumps - around 60 lime stems that have grown from one original tree thought to be over a thousand years old.
DNA tests carried out on this tree in the 1990s (at the time of the last coppice rotation) showed that the clump originates from one tree.
Experts agreed that the size of the clump and its pattern of growth meant the lime is certainly ancient, and could even be up to 2000 years old.
The practice of periodic coppicing has actually helped the tree to live this long. Vigorous new shoots form new stems from each stool once the clump has been cut back. The lime at Westonbirt Arboretum is coppiced every 20 years.
The work will take place using a combination of traditional and modern techniques, combining the use of hand tools such as bow saws and pruning saws, with more efficient chainsaws.
The Forestry Commission's Curator at Westonbirt Arboretum, Mark Ballard, commented:
"Cutting back the lime stems encourages new growth and keeps the tree healthy. It is what has kept this original lime alive for so many centuries.
"Coppicing is not only good for the tree, it also benefits wildlife; particularly woodland flora as regular opening of the canopy allows sunlight to reach the woodland floor.
"Our Forestry Commission team will work with a group of professional coppicers and volunteers to carry out this important work."
Historical records show traditional coppicing methods have been used in Westonbirt Arboretum's Silk Wood since at least the 13th Century.
This lime would have originally been coppiced by those who lived in and worked in Silk Wood. Local people would have used traditional woodland skills to make a living; cutting lime, hazel and oak for everything from building materials to rope and tools.
To maintain this traditional use of coppiced material, the stems will be used by the arboretum's network of woodland workers and crafts people to make all manner of items.
There are also plans for a sculpture to be created from the material telling the story of the lime whilst the stems grow again over the coming years.
The lime can be found near to Maple Loop and the National Japanese Maple Collection, found in Westonbirt Arboretum's Silk Wood.

Not long ago, I met Tracey Cunningham of the __Byron & Tracey__salon, in Beverly Hills, who also happens to be Redken's creative consultant for color.
Tracey has colored the manes of Hollywood starlets such as Emily Blunt, Isla Fisher, and Emma Stone, and, while she was in N.Y.C. talking to beauty editors about Redken's new Shades EQ Cream(launching now) and Shades EQ Cover Plus (available in October), I had a chance to meet up with her at Cutler salon for a consultation and a quick fix for my fading single process, which was turning a bit orange.
Tracey used two products in combination—Shades EQ Gloss and Shades EQ Cream—and the result was fast and excellent. "Whether I'm using Shades EQ Gloss for a more transparent look or Shades EQ Cream for richer, deeper color, my clients love how shiny and conditioned their hair feels. It takes them straight from salon to red carpet," Tracey said, and she was absolutely right! This ammonia-free, semi-permanent color process gave me the rich, deep, highlighted look that I needed (even though it's still a single process), and left my hair shiny and soft. I was so pleased that I wanted to find a red carpet to walk on!
If your hair needs a quick color pick-me-up, __Redken's Shades EQ treatment__might just be the right thing. Go to __redken.com__and find the salon nearest you.

A New Church Website Means I Have to Get Back to Blogging
One reason I want to do this is in hopes that some of the members of my congregation will begin to catch a vision for a greater Evangelical purpose and see themselves as part of a national and, more importantly, global network of Christians seeking to glorify and exalt the name of Christ.
Internet hot-spots like Facebook and Twitter present opportunities for Christians to put their best feet forward in regards to the Gospel and Orthodox Theology. More than ever we need each other to counteract the vast influences of both the secular culture and the insulated Christian community (read "Suburban, middle-class, Republican, disengaged, self-focused, and man-centered"). Pointing my people, as well as those I encounter from my past and present on Facebook, toward Gospel-centered, Christ-exalting, globally-focused ministries and tools helps us as a universal Christian community grow together in unity and move ever more swiftly in the direction of glorifying God to the ends of the Earth.
I have never been more optimistic about the present effectiveness of the Gospel's influence and the Holy Spirit's power than I am right now. Revival is coming and I want to be a part of that, even if it means the Church down the street grows, but ours doesn't. If we just become a more generous, Christ-centered, and spiritually mature congregation, then I will count my ministry a success. Far too often, we get wrapped up in what God is doing (or not doing) visibly in our own Church and forget that it's not about us, it's about His glory. So if my blog can be used to point those who may read it toward the encouragement and optimism that I have experienced over these past few months, then it is effective. And that's really all I can ask - to be effective in actively glorifying Christ and bringing His Kingdom to bear on the Earth.

According to a Dutch study, our beloved Wi-Fi — the stuff that large populations of the planet now use in their homes, their workplaces, where they shop, where they drink coffee, and pretty much everywhere else they go — may be killing our trees. Or at least contributing to it. The researchers of Wageningen University say that more analysis is required to reach a solid conclusion on the matter, but so far, it looks like the particular radiation that is Wi-Fi is not at all interested in becoming a tree-hugger.
The tests were done in urban areas, where the high Wi-Fi and mobile phone network concentrations battle it out with other not-so-nice-for-trees elements such as fuel and other particle emissions. This leads to an obvious question about whether the trees' sickness is more a result of other side-effects of urban sprawl, but the researchers feel they have a pretty good case against Wi-Fi. This is unfortunate, as Wi-Fi has become more and more a part of our daily necessities. Either way, something that is in the air in areas of major and connected human cities is causing the upper and lower layers of leaves to die, leaving behind a "lead-like shine" — and apparently inhibiting the growth of corn cobs.
This news, while not entirely proven true, may mark down one more in an ever-growing list of our human comforts and advancements that may actually be harmful to our immediate environment.

Win One for the Bo?
Updated: Nov. 17, 2006, 2:02 PM ET
Schembechler collapses, dies at 77
Associated Press
Bo Schembechler, who became one of college football's great coaches in two decades at Michigan, died Friday after taping a TV show on the eve of the Wolverines' No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown with perennial rival Ohio State. He was 77.
Schembechler collapsed at the studios at WXYZ-TV in the Detroit suburb of Southfield and was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. His death at 11:42 a.m. was confirmed by Mike Dowd, chief investigator for the medical examiner's office in Oakland County.
Police were sent to the station around 9:25 a.m. along with the city's fire department and escorted an ambulance to Providence Hospital, Southfield police spokesman John Harris said.
Schembechler had a heart attack on the eve of his first Rose Bowl in 1970 and another one in 1987. He had two quadruple heart-bypass operations, and doctors implanted a pacemaker to regulate his heartbeat after he became ill during a taping at WXYZ on Oct. 20.
During a news conference earlier this week to discuss Saturday's big game, Schembechler said the device covered about half his chest and that doctors still were adjusting it.
Schembechler said he did not plan to attend the game in Columbus, Ohio, and that he didn't travel to road games anymore.
"This is an extraordinary loss for college football," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said in a statement. "Bo Schembechler touched the lives of many people and made the game of football better in every way. He will always be both a Buckeye and a Wolverine and our thoughts are with all who grieve his loss."
The seven-time Big Ten coach of the year compiled a 194-48-5 record at Michigan from 1969-89. Schembechler's record in 26 years of coaching was 234-65-8.
Schembechler's Wolverines were 11-9-1 against the Buckeyes. But fans in both states generally agree that the rivalry's prime years were 1969-78, when Schembechler opposed his friend and coaching guru, Woody Hayes. Ohio State prevailed in those meetings, going 5-4-1.
"It was a very personal rivalry," Earle Bruce, who succeeded Hayes as coach, once said. "And for the first and only time, it was as much about the coaches as it was about the game.
"Bo and Woody were very close because Bo played for Woody at Miami of Ohio, then coached with him at Ohio State. But their friendship was put on hold when Bo took the Michigan job because it was the protege against mentor."
Thirteen of Schembechler's Michigan teams either won or shared the Big Ten championship. Fifteen of them finished in The Associated Press Top 10, with the 1985 team finishing No. 2.
Seventeen of Schembechler's 21 Michigan teams earned bowl berths. Despite a .796 regular-season winning percentage, his record in bowls was a disappointing 5-12, including 2-8 in Rose Bowls.
The mythical national championship eluded Schembechler, but he said that never bothered him.
"If you think my career has been a failure because I have never won a national title, you have another thing coming," Schembechler said a few weeks before coaching his final game. "I have never played a game for the national title. Our goals always have been to win the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl. If we do that, then we consider it a successful season."

text: In 2014 I saw an independent documentary that has always stayed with me to this very day. I saw the film just before I was about to head to the U.S in pursuit of my film career. Part of me was a little terrified at the prospect of leaving my home and trying to find my footing as a filmmaker in another country.

Welcome to Healthbase
Healthbase, a state of the art healthcare platform for people to track and share their health data, and to connect with the health professionals real time. Healthbase's customizable software platform, tools and services are being offered to providers, employers, and insurers in USA and abroad.
What is Medical Tourism?
Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also known as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Surgical Tourism, Health Travel, Medical Outsourcing and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation in medical tourism although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and for treatments that are not available in their home country. While abroad, patients also frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
Healthbase can facilitate a variety of medical tourism services from basic consultations to full service treatment abroad. We help you to take care of all the medical tourism details from arranging the surgery and financing options to travel, tourism and visas.
Who should be interested in Medical Tourism?
As long as you are healthy enough to travel, you stand to benefit from medical tourism's offerings. While anyone is a prospective patient, most of our medical tourism customers fall into one of the four categories:
How can hospitals offer such low rates?
As you know healthcare is one area where quality is more important than cost. So how do our hospitals provide high quality at such low rates? Fees in the USA are driven by labor overhead, administrative expenses, and insurance contracts. Over 71 percent of hospital costs are labor related according to a recent World Health Organization report which helps to explain some of the cost advantages for countries with low labor costs. Healthbase eliminates these burdens by connecting patients directly to surgeons and hospitals in our medical tourism partner network, allowing us to offer premier services at prices unavailable in the USA.
Why Healthbase?
Healthbase, the leading medical tourism agency, is a provider-of-choice for medical tourists world-wide. We have developed the industry's most sophisticated and comprehensive medical tourism web portal where consumers can arrange medical tourism from start to finish. In addition to our one-stop service offerings, we strive to provide world-class care along several dimensions:
Medical Tourism - Overseas Surgery
Medical Travel Abroad - Health Tour IndiaWhile the primary motivation for most Medical Tourism customers is affordable surgery, the opportunity to visit destinations in countries like Thailand, India, Singapore, Panama, Costa Rica and Hungary is an additional draw for some of our customers. Many customers spend a few days sightseeing before or after their medical, cosmetic or dental procedure.

I'm driving home from work and I see a sign for "Little Lambs Sunday School" in front of a nice big baptist church.
They refer to themselves as sheep! I mean, come on! Sheep? Really? And none of them clue in on the fact that sheep are a source of income and sustenance for the shepherd? Who willingly identifies with a weak, skittish animal? Isn't the best thing about a sheep the fact that it can be used without being slaughtered? Sheep are also slaughtered, of course.
Maybe I only react this way because I am outside looking in (having never been in) and flock sounds nicer than herd or something. I doubt it.
And they have the nerve to guffaw at the idea of our shared ancestry with apes.
I just had to get this off my chest. I'm sure there are others with equally strong feelings about other christian qualities; let's hear them! Sound off you non-believers about the ONE thing that tops them all.

Seeing the rail-thin models who strut down catwalks at fashion shows, you might think that eating disorders like bulimia or anorexia mostly affect women whose livelihoods are based on being thin.
But more and more, these problems are affecting people from all walks of life — and, unfortunately, many of them are kids. Of the almost 24 million Americans who suffer from an eating disorder, 95% are between 12 and 25 years old.
Experts report that more than 50% of teenage girls use "unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives."
But these disorders are not just a "girl problem" — 1 in 10 cases now involve males. Guys often develop problems with eating as a response to sports or fitness — for instance, developing bulimia to reach a certain weight for wrestling or swimming. Recognizing and diagnosing eating disorders in young men can be difficult due to the perception that these are "female" problems and the shame they might feel at having a condition associated with girls.
Eating disorders — primarily anorexia (self-starvation), bulimia (bingeing and purging), and binge eating (uncontrolled consumption of large amounts of food) — typically begin in the teen years and can be easy for some kids to hide. Compulsive exercise can accompany an eating disorder, so parents might attribute a teen's lean and toned build to that and not realize disordered eating is also part of the problem. In these instances, both components — the undereating and overexercising — are attempts to gain control over complicated feelings and emotions.
So how can parents spot an eating disorder and help their child recover and have a healthy relationship with food? Be aware of the physical clues — like extreme weight loss; obsessing over food portions, calorie counts, and weight control; fear of weight gain; social withdrawal; excessive exercise; regular trips to the bathroom right after eating; use of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas; and wearing baggy clothes to hide his or her physique.
If you think your son or daughter might have an eating disorder, it's important to get help right away. People with eating disorders can become seriously ill and even die. Doctors, mental health professionals, and dietitians can help a teen get treatment, recover, and develop healthy eating (and exercise) habits.
To help "inoculate" kids against developing a problem in the first place, parents can take the lead by setting a good example. Be sure to:

We all have bad days; some are worse than others. When emotions become overwhelming, you can use this RAIN formula to help manage your feelings in a mindful way:
· R – Recognize the emotion you're feeling. Name the emotion in your mind if you can.
· A – Accept the experience you're having. Yes you probably don't like the feeling, but the reality is the emotion is here at the moment.
· I – Investigate. Become curious about your experience. Where do you feel the emotion in your body? What kind of thoughts are going through your mind?
· N – Non-identification. See the emotion as a passing event rather than who you actually are, just as different images are reflected in a mirror but are not the mirror. Different emotions arise and pass in you, but are not you, yourself.
The most powerful step is non-identification. Have the attitude 'anger is arising and will soon pass away' or 'sadness is coming up in me, and at some point will dissolve'.
Sometimes you just need to do one step, whereas at other times you may want to work through the whole formula. Practice using the formula whenever you can, so when things become challenging for you, you'll find it easier to use.

Hey once again guys, here is that second character that was requested and as you can see it's a figure from Winnie the Pooh. Everyone loves this tiger that hops along and even sings his song. Up next we will be tackling the task of learning "how to draw Tigger easy", step by step. Tigger is one of those cats that loves everyone but everyone don't love him. His best friend in the world is Roo, and together they bounce around and play. Tigger is also very fond of Pooh Bear, but they don't have as much fun together as Tigger and Roo do. Anyways, here you will be drawing Tigger easy. I had fun recreating this colorful character from the children's book created by A. A. Milne called "Winnie-the-Pooh", and so will you!

Always the freshest produce at the Italian market
Necessity, as they say, is the mother of invention.
Born to Italian immigrants, I saw this first hand growing up. We reused and recycled long before it was fashionable; everything was saved and nothing went to waste. Nowhere was that more apparent than around food. The parmigiano rind went into the soup, adding depth and richness of flavour. Drippings were carefully strained and preserved. Coffee grinds and egg shells made a rich compost, the better to grow our tomatoes, zucchini and peppers.
That is also how the most delicious of Italian dishes have been born. La cucina povera – literally the poor kitchen – is represented by those dishes where a little had to go a long way, a piece of meat was precious, scarce and longed for, and nothing ever went to waste. Pappa al pomodoro – bread and tomato soup. Risi e bisi – rice and beans. Acquacotta – literally "cooked water" soup, into which all of the day's scraps were combined to make a warming (and delicious) broth.
Rolling Tuscan hills as far as the eye can see at Fattoria di Montalbano
The view at breakfast - an idyllic spot to start the day
We began our recent two week Italian holiday in an agriturismo just south of Florence – Fattoria di Montalbano. We had rented Il Trebbiali, a six bedroom villa on the grounds of the Nustrini farm. Charming, comfortable and with a big homey Tuscan kitchen, I had visions of cooking up a storm of Italian delicacies. As it happened, dinner was more often than not a gorgeous plate of salume and cheese, accompanied by delicious Chianti.
Enjoying a sundowner at Il Trebbiali
On our last night at Il Trebbiali, we planned to use the last of what was in the fridge. And so it was that I experienced firsthand la cucina povera. Upon inspection, there wasn't much left, but I knew what was there would be great. I'd assemble a plate of the remaining finocchiona, prosciutto and pecorino; the fresh sausages we bought at the local marcelleria would be grilled, and we'd finish with perhaps my favourite of the cucina povera repertoire: panzanella – a tomato, bread and cucumber salad that humbly combines a handful of ingredients into a splendid dish.
Panzanella Salad
serves four comfortably, and two greedily
A half a loaf or more of good quality day old Italian bread. The bread must be old; this is not the time to use a fresh loaf
Olive oil
One garlic clove, cut in half
6-8 really ripe but firm tomatoes. Forget the hard tasteless fruits of winter and greenhouses
1 English cucumber
4-6 leaves fresh basil, torn
More olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Slice the bread into thick pieces. Rub the cut clove over one side and generously brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Grill the bread over a charcoal grill, turning the pieces until both sides are browned and toasted. Set bread aside to cool.
2. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put them in a large serving bowl. Some recipes for panzanella call for the tomatoes to be peeled and seeded; I say - this is a rustic salad. La mamma would have dispensed with such niceties when trying to feed a hungry family.
3. Trim the cucumber and chop into bite sized pieces. Add to the tomatoes. Add the basil.
4. Cut the bread into large crouton-style cubes. Add to the tomatoes and toss all three ingredients until well combined.
5. Add a generous amount of olive oil (at least 2 tbsp) and salt and pepper to taste. Toss, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
The salad can be made ahead, enough so that the juices develop and the bread absorbs some of the tomato flavour but not so much that you have soggy bread. If you are making ahead, add the basil just before serving and give a final toss to combine ingredients.
Serve at the end of a Tuscan meal, preferably during sunset, and finish with a delightful bottle of Chianti.
Buon appetito!

Grade levels:
Middle and high school, grades 7-12
Concentration area:
History, Sociology
After reading the narrative
The Domestic Slave Trade
, students will examine the differences between enslaved North Americans and the people brought to other countries, such as Brazil. Students will consider weather, culture, endemic diseases, and the care with which the Africans were treated in their analysis. Students will also hypothesize why the North American enslaved population increased, while other countries needed fresh supplies of Africans to keep up with labor demands.

Colonization and Emigration
narrative states that, "the colonists made concerted efforts to create a sort of 'little America' in their new surroundings." Students will study the history of Liberia prior to and after the influx of immigrants of African Americans. Once they have investigated the cultural differences between the African Americans newly arrived and Liberians, they will then simulate an exchange between a newly arrived African American and an indigenous Liberian in search of common ground.
Exploring Racism in America Lesson Plan

Linux.com: GUI Administration with KSysGuard
Linux.com is offering an article from the author Brian Jones, who as a sysadmin came across KSysGuard, the
His usability criticism is probably the best of the article
"While I've started using KSysguard on a regular basis, and I recommend it to others, there's room for improvement. For one thing, this being a KDE application, it would make sense to integrate it with KPopUp and allow for alerts to be issued at certain threshholds, since it's not possible to view every sensor cell for every machine in a single worksheet. Alternatively, maybe the developers could build a "Summary" worksheet so that these alerts could simply be listed there, in a logview-type format. Also, it would be useful to be able to configure color changes based on thresholds in the signal plotter views. For example, I'd like my System Load signal plotter sensors to turn orange if the load creeps beyond, say, 6, and red if it goes over 10.
There are minor annoyances in the application, but they're mostly annoying only when you're first getting started using it. For example, if you drag two sensors to a cell, then discover that was not a stellar move on your part, you can't simply drag one sensor away from the cell -- you have to remove the sensor from the cell completely and start over. I understand why this is the way it is, but it would be good if there were a friendly way of reconfiguring a cell without starting over. "
By gerd at Mon, 2004/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: Criticism
It looks like the author would like to transform KSysguard into KTivoli or KBigbrother. While such an application would be a good idea, my guess is that KSysguard, which is great in it's own right, is not a good platform to build it on.
By Anonymous Coward at Tue, 2004/05/25 - 5:00am
Ksysguard is indeed quite useful.. I wasn't even aware of its ability to monitor processes on remote machines. Awesome.
By Leo S at Mon, 2004/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: Indeed...
Something like 'ps auxw' is a common command to show processes, and gives you size and rss too. Size is the total amount of memory the process would be using if the entire thing was in memory, and rss is the amount of real memory currently in use.
By AC at Mon, 2004/05/24 - 5:00am
Re: Indeed...
thanks for explaining this!! :)
By mattie at Fri, 2005/04/01 - 6:00am
And I KSysguard is still limited by the minimum of 2 second interval?
Bah! My übermighty Windows XP Task Manager has 0.5 second update rate, beat that! ;P
Same thing with this Kicker applet thingie IIRC.
By Tar at Tue, 2004/05/25 - 5:00am
Re: Interval
Let's not bring TaskManager into the picture... They still have to show us all the processes and a little more than just processor/memory performance and network traffic.

While TVs and tablets dominate the world's largest tech confab, CES attendees often save some attention for the nearby Adult Entertainment Expo. This year, though, the two shows don't coincide and it's like the loss of a familiar, if slightly sketchy, cousin at a family dinner.
The AEE (and its accompanying AVN awards) won't hit Las Vegas until next week. This year is the first time in years the two shows haven't synced up.
The porn convention was actually born out of CES. In the early days of the electronics show, there was an adult video section. Thirteen years ago, however, the adult entertainment companies decided to strike out on their own. The show has run the same week as CES for several years, fitting since porn has driven several home entertainment technologies.
Cross traffic between the two events was heavy as well, but this year CES shifted its show dates, closing it out on a Friday (last year's show ran Thursday through Sunday). And that's being pointed to as a reason for the change.
Popular on Variety
Economics are a larger factor, though. This year's porn show will be held at the Hard Rock Casino, which will cost organizers much less than the Sands Convention Center — and non-CES fans will be able to get rooms for a significantly cheaper rate than during CES, when Vegas hotels ratchet up prices to often outrageous levels.
AEE show officials admit they're concerned about a potential loss of foot traffic, but say media coverage requests have more than doubled for the event, which should guarantee plenty of, um, exposure.
The 2011 AEE saw just shy of 23,000 fans attend, compared to the nearly 150,000 that came to CES.
Of course, CES hasn't been entirely porn-free.
Tech-intense adult company Pink Visual hosted a party Tuesday for about 100 CES showgoers, bringing a trio of stars to pose for pictures and mingle with the techies, including one who spend the evening wearing an iPad strapped to her chest, encouraging people to swipe the screen to display cleavage (presumably, hers) in a variety of lingerie styles.

Those cheeky gents across the pond are taking design elements from the current incarnation of Batman and putting them into an autonomous assault vehicle called the Tumbler. Sorry, the Raider. You understand why there's confusion—they look very similar!
Designed by BAE for the British military, the Raider would be ideal for "small, highly agile autonomous reconnaissance" missions and as an "attack vehicle which can carry a variety of payloads."
And yes, this robo-tank is indeed inspired by Christopher Nolan's version of the venerable Batmobile. Said BAE design project leader Hisham Awad:
"Well, why not? In all seriousness, we decided that we didn't have a monopoly on inspiration, and if we saw something in a film that we thought might be a good idea, why not take a look at it and see if there's something practical we can develop. You see, it turns like a motorbike and it has the same wheel configuration."
The U.S. military, not to be outdone, is rumoured by me and my imagination to be testing tank prototypes based on the war machines found in Warhammer 40K. [The Engineer via CrunchGear]

The stereotomic apparatus is a 2D projective geometric tool that can be used to construct 3D objects with all planar sides, using principles similar to those used to contruct vanishing point perspectives. This project uses Processing to recreate the apparatus-originally invented in the 17th century-as an interactive applet. The object in the viewport is a six-sided polyhedron seen in plan [top], elevation [bottom], and unfolded [chartreuse, behind plan]. Adjusting the end points, vanishing points, and fold line changes the proportions, size, and shape of the object while constantly maintaining planarity.

The all-new 2013 Cadillac ATS is GM's attempt at out BMW-ing BMW, and by many accounts, it does. The ATS is Cadillac's new compact luxury sports sedan with three different engine options, either a six-speed manual or automatic and rear- or all-wheel drive. The ATS' base engine is a 2.5-liter four cylinder that makes 202-hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. Available only with a six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, the base engine ATS is EPA rated at 22/33 mpg city/highway. One step up on the ladder is the 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder engine, good for 272 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The rear-drive-only manual transmission model nets 19/30 mpg, while the automatic gets 21/31 mpg with rear-drive, or 20/30 with all-wheel drive. The top-spec ATS engine is a 321-hp and 275 lb-ft of torque 3.6-liter V-6. Paired only to an automatic tranny, the V-6-powered ATS gets 19/28 mpg with rear-drive, and 18/26 mpg with available all-wheel drive.
To say we really like the 2013 ATS would be an understatement. Not only was Cadillac's BMW 3 Series-fighter a finalist during the 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year competition, but the V-6-powered version easily trounced the six-cylinder versions of the 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class in a recent comparison test. In that test, we wrote, "This chassis…wow. Unbelievable. I'm just blown away by how well this car drives. Those two are luxury sport sedans. This is a luxury sports car." While the 2.0-liter turbo-4-powered ATS was designed as an enthusiast's special, its manual transmission let it down. "The six-speed manual gearbox in our tester was hugely disappointing," we wrote, "Shifts were notchy and imprecise, with several testers continuing to miss gears even as hours in the car piled up."
The Cadillac ATS is new to the market for 2013. Though the ATS shares some of its engines across the Cadillac lineup (as well as with other General Motors models), it's otherwise an all-new model, and completely unique.
The 2013 Cadillac ATS is an all-new model for Cadillac, with three engine options, six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, and rear or all-wheel-drive depending on configuration. The sharp-looking compact luxury sports sedan is designed to go head-to-head with the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and others. The ATS is Cadillac's latest attempt at making itself a truly global luxury brand.

TL1998 : Railway bridge crossing the River Nene, Peterborough
taken 9 years ago, near to Orton Longueville, Peterborough, Great Britain
The River Nene from Peterborough to The Wash
One of the earliest mapped courses of the River Nene, from Peterborough to The Wash, was around Whittlesey Mere, through Benwick, March and Upwell, eventually joining The Well Stream at Outwell which flowed to the then coastal town of Wisbech. Over the centuries a straight channel was dug through the marshes north of Wisbech to the current outfall north of Sutton Bridge and the land on either side reclaimed. There are numerous visible sections of the old coastal banks on both sides of the River Nene north of Wisbech, see Link.
One of the earliest attempts to improve the flow of water from Peterborough to the coast and reduce flooding in the Fens was made by Bishop Morton who had a straight channel dug in the late 15th century from Peterborough to Wisbech known as Mortons Leam, see Link In the early 1700s a new and much larger straight channel was dug from Peterborough to Wisbech called Smith's Leam, parallel to and just north of Mortons Leam, to improve the flow of water from Peterborough to the sea. Mortons Leam from Guyhirn to Wisbech was incorporated into Smiths Leam and the remainder of Mortons Leam from Peterborough to Guyhirn became the main artery into and out of the Nene Washes which were created between Guyhirn and Peterborough.
Smiths Leam is now known as the River Nene and the original meandering river from Peterborough to Marmont Priory Lock in Upwell is now known as The River Nene (Old course), see Link.

The birds are chirping.
All of them. We have FIVE birds nests and all the little birdies have hatched.
The weekend is supposed to be full of
sunshiny bird chirping weather.
The boys are feeling so much better.
I am looking forward to a happy weekend.
I hope your weekend is a great one.
