Tattoos, tattoos, and even more tattoos. If you're like me you are a fan of epic tattoo art, and for me I love making my own concept designs straight from my head. This design goes out to all the ladies that love rockin those pretty hibiscus flowers on their torsos, backs, arms, and even legs. This is a familiar flower that has been seen on Dragoart more than once before. If you go poking around the tattoo and flower sections of the site, you will come across a few different versions of this hibiscus bloom. Today I will fill a tattoo request and show you guys "how to draw a Hawaiian tattoo", step by step. Of course I wanted to make something easy enough for anyone to tackle and because of this I chose to go with an awesome depiction of a subtle Hawaiian bloom. I think these flowers are beautiful, and if I was into flowers that much, this is probably one of the designs I would go with for my first inking session. I don't have any ink on me now, and to be honest I don't know if I want any at all. I'm sure my mind can change with age, but as of right now, it's not in my cards. So all I can do is continue creating my tattoo designs and hope that you all love the lessons. Enjoy this submission on drawing a Hawaiian tattoo, and if you like what you see, go ahead and check out some other flower art I have on the site. Peace out people, or aloha.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Some species, such as the braconid wasp pictured here, are parasitoids. The female wasp lays eggs in a range of hosts such as tomato or tobacco hornworm caterpillars (shown in inset photo). The developing larvae feed inside the unlucky caterpillar before emerging and spinning cocoons. A short time later the wasps will emerge from their cocoons and the weakened caterpillar will die.
When most people think of wasps, they think of paper wasps, and they probably think of them only as pests because of unpleasant past encounters with these stinging insects. However, the world of wasps is much larger and more complex than this!
Our gardens abound with hundreds of species of wasps that vary greatly in size and life habits. Most of the wasps in our gardens are tiny, parasitic species that do not sting people and go largely unnoticed. These are definitely friends because they help control pest insects. There is also a group of wasps known as sawflies whose larvae look like caterpillars and feed on plants. These are usually foes because they damage landscape plants. Two other groups of wasps are the social wasps, such as paper wasps, and the solitary wasps, such as mud daubers and cicada killers. Wasps in both these groups are capable of stinging, and they definitely qualify as foes when they do so, but paper wasps also have a beneficial side.
Most gardeners are familiar with two common types of paper wasps: The small brown and yellow banded wasps, often called guinea wasps, and the larger red and black wasps most gardeners know as red wasps. Actually, there are several different species within each of these types, and to further complicate matters, guinea wasps are often incorrectly called yellowjackets. Yellowjackets belong to a slightly different group of social wasps, and the yellowjackets we have in the South usually build their nests in the ground.
The guinea wasp on the far left has brought home some "caterpillar burger" to feed to the hungry larvae.
The domed white cells of this guinea wasp nest contain maturing pupae, and you can see larvae peering out of some of the open cells. Look closely and you will see a small white egg in the bottom of some of the center cells.
Wasp nests are easiest to control early in the season when there are only a few adult wasps. The aerosol wasp sprays work well, but be careful; there is always a risk of being stung when dealing with wasps.
Paper wasps live in communal nests usually with one reproductive female or queen and dozens of female workers. The papery nests are built of wood pulp the workers collect using their strong mandibles. Paper wasps build their upside-down-umbrella-shaped nests in sites protected from direct rainfall: under eaves, in dense shrubs, in that fertilizer spreader hanging on the back of the tool shed and similar places. These nests do not survive the winter.
Paper wasps overwinter as mated females in protected sites such as hollow trees, attics or wall voids. Overwintered females emerge in the spring and begin building a nest, and successful nests grow larger as the summer progresses. That nest in the fertilizer spreader may contain only one or two adults in April, but by late summer, when it is time for that end of season fertilizer application, it may be as big as Granddad's straw hat and contain dozens of wasps. What a nasty surprise! "Experienced" gardeners know to check for wasp nests before moving infrequently used equipment, pruning shrubs or working in areas where wasp nests might occur.
Female paper wasps are equipped with venomous stings, which, unlike the stings of honeybees, are not barbed, allowing them to sting repeatedly. Wasps do not go looking for people to sting but will readily attack if they feel their nest is being threatened. Paper wasps have a Jekyll and Hyde personality. When encountered as individuals out foraging for prey or wood pulp, they are not aggressive and rarely sting, but their attitude is much different when their nest is disturbed. Wasp stings hurt, and some people are more sensitive than others. Wasp stings can even be life-threatening to a small percent of people who are hypersensitive.
Both bees and wasps feed on plant nectar, which is loaded with sugary carbohydrates but has little protein. Bees meet their protein needs by collecting pollen, which they carry back to their nests in special pollen baskets on their legs or abdomen. Wasps cannot collect pollen because they do not have these pollen baskets and their bodies are not hairy like bees. This is why paper wasps are not good pollinators. Social wasps meet most of their need for protein by preying on other insects: catching them, chewing them up and carrying these little balls of bug burger back to the nest to feed their young. This is where their beneficial side comes in. Paper wasps are voracious predators of caterpillars and play an important role in the biological control of many caterpillar pests.
As a graduate student at LSU, I was involved in a research project to evaluate the effects of insect-induced defoliation on soybean plants. Our plan was to artificially infest the plants, which were growing in large outdoor pots, with soybean loopers to achieve varying levels of defoliation. This technique had worked quite well in previous greenhouse experiments, but when we placed our young caterpillars on these outdoor plants and came back to check on them the next day, they had all disappeared. We released more caterpillars the following day and waited around to see what was happening to them. Paper wasps appeared by the dozens, methodically searched our plants and removed every caterpillar! In the end, we were forced to place a screen cage over each plant to protect our caterpillars from the paper wasps.
In this case, we viewed the wasps as foes because they were interfering with our research, but most gardeners and farmers consider wasps as friends when they are preying on caterpillar pests. Some organic gardeners and farmers even place special structures in their landscape to encourage wasps to nest there and help control caterpillar pests. Of course, they place these structures in out of the way places where they will not accidentally disturb them during the summer.
In the end, the answer to the question: "Paper wasp, friend or foe?" depends on where you encounter the wasp. Is she away from the nest foraging for prey or on the nest around the tool shed? Wasp nests built in places where people are likely to come in close contact with them are definitely hazards and should be eliminated as soon as possible, preferably while they are small. Most gardeners keep a can of aerosol wasp spray handy for this purpose. It is good to know paper wasps have a beneficial side, but this knowledge will not lessen the pain of their stings.
Happy hour for wasps? This red wasp and yellowjacket are indeed imbibing
the alcoholic flux oozing from this tree wound.

Caffeine may slightly boost weight loss or prevent weight gain, but there's no sound evidence that increased caffeine consumption results in significant or permanent weight loss.
Caffeine is found in many beverages, including coffee, tea, energy drinks and colas; in products containing cocoa or chocolate; and in a variety of medications and dietary supplements, including supplements aimed at weight loss.
Although research about the connection between caffeine and weight isn't definitive, there are a few theories about how caffeine might affect weight, including:
Some studies looking at caffeine and weight were poor quality or done on animals, making the results questionable or hard to generalize to humans. In addition, some studies found that even decaffeinated coffee may contribute to modest weight loss, suggesting that substances or factors besides caffeine may play a role in weight loss.
The bottom line: Be cautious about using caffeine products to help with weight loss. When used in moderation (400 milligrams or less) by healthy adults, caffeine is generally safe. But too much caffeine might cause nervousness, insomnia, nausea, increased blood pressure and other problems.
Also keep in mind that some caffeinated beverages, such as specialty coffees, are high in calories and fat. So instead of losing weight, you might actually gain weight if you drink too many of these.

Deep blue planet discovery differs from Earth
- Hubble space telescope data reveals a planet orbiting a nearby star is likely blue-colored
- The Jupiter-sized world is very hot%2C with temperatures of about 1%2C800 degrees
- The blue color appears to come from glass particles in its clouds
Data from the Hubble Space Telescope has helped determine that a planet orbiting a nearby star likely shares Earth's deep-blue tones, but the similarities stop there, astronomers report.
The planet, HD 189733b, circles a star some 63 light years away, about 372 trillion miles, according to the upcomingAstrophysical Journal Letters report led by the University of Oxford'sTom Evans. The Jupiter-size planet, about 13% heftier than the largest planet in our solar system, orbits very close to its star, circling it once every 2.2 days. That makes it a (very)"hot Jupiter" planet, the study notes, with cloud temperatures likely around 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit and winds whipping around at 4,350 miles-per-hour.
Astronomers have detected more than 800 "exoplanets" -- planets that orbit stars outside our solar system -- in the last two decades. HD 189733b was discovered in 2005.
The planet's clouds are likely blue, based on spectroscope data from Hubble, according to the international team of astronomers. The space telescope peered at the planet, before, during and after it was eclipsed by its star. That enabled the astronomers to subtract the light from the star from the light reflected off the planet, giving them a sense of its color.
"We saw the brightness of the whole system drop in the blue part of the spectrum when the planet passed behind its star," Evans says, in a statement. "From this, we can gather that the planet is blue, because the signal remained constant."
The team suggests the blue color likely comes from a hazy atmosphere filled with melting glass particles, ones that scatter blue light.
"It is by no means a giant step forward, but a nice observation with implications for clouds in this hot Jupiter's atmosphere, one of the key details for those who model the atmospheres of these hot planets," says planetary theorist Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (D.C.). "It is amazing to think that we can now make measurements that tell us something about the cloud cover on distant exoplanets, and is especially amazing when we cannot even see these hot Jupiters directly."

Indian sitar virtuoso and Encinitas resident Ravi Shankar has died at age 92.
According to Shankar's publicist, the musician famous for his work with George Harrison and his performance at Woodstock, was admitted to the hospital last Thursday.
He underwent heart-valve replacement surgery, but passed away Tuesday in San Diego.
"As you all know, his health has been fragile for the past several years and on Thursday he underwent a surgery that could have potentially given him a new lease of life," a statement from his family read.
"Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the surgeons and doctors taking care of him, his body was not able to withstand the strain of the surgery. We were at his side when he passed away."
Labeled "the godfather of world music" by George Harrison, Shankar helped millions of classical, jazz and rock lovers discover the centuries-old traditions of Indian music.
He also pioneered the concept of the rock benefit with the 1971 Concert For Bangladesh. To later generations, he was known as the estranged father of popular American singer Norah Jones.
As early as the 1950s, Shankar began collaborating with and teaching some of the greats of Western music, including violinist Yehudi Menuhin and jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. He played well-received shows in concert halls in Europe and the United States, but faced a constant struggle to bridge the musical gap between the West and the East.
Describing an early Shankar tour in 1957, Time magazine said "U.S. audiences were receptive but occasionally puzzled."
His close relationship with Harrison, the Beatles lead guitarist, shot Shankar to global stardom in the 1960s.
Harrison had grown fascinated with the sitar, a long necked, string instrument that uses a bulbous gourd for its resonating chamber and resembles a giant lute. He played the instrument, with a Western tuning, on the song "Norwegian Wood," but soon sought out Shankar, already a musical icon in India, to teach him to play it properly.
The pair spent weeks together, starting the lessons at Harrison's house in England and then moving to a houseboat in Kashmir and later to California.
Gaining confidence with the complex instrument, Harrison recorded the Indian-inspired song "Within You Without You" on the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," helping spark the raga-rock phase of 60s music and drawing increasing attention to Shankar and his work.
Shankar's popularity exploded, and he soon found himself playing on bills with some of the top rock musicians of the era. He played a four-hour set at the Monterey Pop Festival and the opening day of Woodstock.
Though the audience for his music had hugely expanded, Shankar, a serious, disciplined traditionalist who had played Carnegie Hall, chafed against the drug use and rebelliousness of the hippie culture.
"I was shocked to see people dressing so flamboyantly. They were all stoned. To me, it was a new world," Shankar told Rolling Stone of the Monterey festival.
While he enjoyed Otis Redding and the Mamas and the Papas at the festival, he was horrified when Jimi Hendrix lit his guitar on fire.
"That was too much for me. In our culture, we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God," he said.
In 1971, moved by the plight of millions of refugees fleeing into India to escape the war in Bangladesh, Shankar reached out to Harrison to see what they could do to help.
In what Shankar later described as "one of the most moving and intense musical experiences of the century," the pair organized two benefit concerts at Madison Square Garden that included Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Ringo Starr.
The concert, which spawned an album and a film, raised millions of dollars for UNICEF and inspired other rock benefits, including the 1985 Live Aid concert to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia and the 2010 Hope For Haiti Now telethon.
Ravindra Shankar Chowdhury was born April 7, 1920, in the Indian city of Varanasi.
At the age of 10, he moved to Paris to join the world famous dance troupe of his brother Uday. Over the next eight years, Shankar traveled with the troupe across Europe, America and Asia, and later credited his early immersion in foreign cultures with making him such an effective ambassador for Indian music.
During one tour, renowned musician Baba Allaudin Khan joined the troupe, took Shankar under his wing and eventually became his teacher through 7 1/2 years of isolated, rigorous study of the sitar.
"Khan told me you have to leave everything else and do one thing properly," Shankar told The Associated Press.
In the 1950s, Shankar began gaining fame throughout India. He held the influential position of music director for All India Radio in New Delhi and wrote the scores for several popular films. He began writing compositions for orchestras, blending clarinets and other foreign instruments into traditional Indian music.
And he became a de facto tutor for Westerners fascinated by India's musical traditions.
He gave lessons to Coltrane, who named his son Ravi in Shankar's honor, and became close friends with Menuhin, recording the acclaimed "West Meets East" album with him. He also collaborated with flutist Jean Pierre Rampal, composer Philip Glass and conductors Andre Previn and Zubin Mehta.
"Any player on any instrument with any ears would be deeply moved by Ravi Shankar. If you love music, it would be impossible not to be," singer David Crosby, whose band The Byrds was inspired by Shankar's music, said in the book "The Dawn of Indian Music in the West: Bhairavi."
Shankar's personal life, however, was more complex.
His 1941 marriage to Baba Allaudin Khan's daughter, Annapurna Devi, ended in divorce. Though he had a decades-long relationship with dancer Kamala Shastri that ended in 1981, he had relationships with several other women in the 1970s.
In 1979, he fathered Norah Jones with New York concert promoter Sue Jones, and in 1981, Sukanya Rajan, who played the tanpura at his concerts, gave birth to his daughter Anoushka.
He grew estranged from Sue Jones in the 80s and didn't see Norah for a decade, though they later re-established contact.
He married Rajan in 1989 and trained young Anoushka as his heir on the sitar. In recent years, father and daughter toured the world together.
When Jones shot to stardom and won five Grammy awards in 2003, Anoushka Shankar was nominated for a Grammy of her own.
Shankar, himself, has won three Grammy awards and was nominated for an Oscar for his musical score for the movie "Gandhi."
Despite his fame, numerous albums and decades of world tours, Shankar's music remained a riddle to many Western ears.
Shankar was amused after he and colleague Ustad Ali Akbar Khan were greeted with admiring applause when they opened the Concert for Bangladesh by twanging their sitar and sarod for a minute and a half.
"If you like our tuning so much, I hope you will enjoy the playing more," he told the confused crowd, and then launched into his set.
Shankar donated all his prize money and has performed several fund raising concerts to benefit the Ravi Shankar Foundation in Encinitas, according to the foundation's website.

CHICO — Ever since I heard a rumor that Mom"s is owned by the same man who owns Madison Bear Garden, I"ve always considered the breakfast joint as a strait-laced counterpoint to its boozier cousin across the street.
When people stagger out of The Bear at O"Dark Thirty, I imagine the restaurant"s dark blue facade gives them a sense of comfort: No matter what they do, Mom"s will still take them in the next morning, with a henhouse worth of eggs and enough black coffee to drown even the most stubborn hangover.
Fortunately, hangovers were the last thing on my mind when I stepped into Mom"s with my dad two weeks ago to grab a bite to eat before I left town for Thanksgiving break.
The dining room was bustling, but the hostess promptly found room for us at a table for six, where we sat awkwardly, looking like the other four diners decided to skip town and stick us with the check.
The silence was broken by our waitress, an extremely friendly young woman who began rattling off all cheapest items on the menu after I asked a few tentative questions. Talk about service.
A quick perusal of the menu showed that Mom"s offers just about every item in the traditional western breakfast canon, along with a few dishes you wouldn"t expect. For example, of the "old time favorites" is chilaquiles, which combines the best part of nachos (the tortilla chips) with the best part of an omelette (the eggs).
Taking a cue from his Gaelic ancestors, my dad ordered the corned beef hash, a $9 dish that came with a generous portion of shredded corned beef, onions, three eggs and breakfast potatoes.
I was too chicken to try it, but I guess it was good because he finished the whole thing in short order.
After chatting with the waitress about the cheapest dishes available, I ordered the Five Buck Cluck, an inexpensive dish on the menu named for the two eggs served alongside two slices of bacon, breakfast potatoes, and a biscuit served with apple butter. The culinary deity that resides in the kitchen was even good enough to drizzle the biscuit in delicious gravy, free of charge.
Our meals arrived promptly, they tasted great, and there were no surprises.
If you"re rolling your eyes because bacon and eggs are a gustatory no-brainer, then you haven"t seen me cook. Trust me, breakfast is easy to mess up, especially when you"re cooking for more than 20 people at once.
After our meal ended, our waitress told us a new manager has taken over at Mom"s. This could be good or bad for the legions of cheapskate diners who"ve made their home at Mom"s. Bad, because messing with the delicate balance between price and portions could have potentially disastrous consequences.
Judging by the full dining room, the restaurant seems to be in the fabled Goldilocks zone, where a finely-tuned equilibrium keeps the restaurant afloat and diners coming back on a regular basis.
But the change could be good. Any restaurant within a block of Chico State needs to reinvent and promote itself by degrees about every four years, to keep pace with the unrelenting tide of undergraduates. If the managers can accomplish that, maybe I won"t be the last student to write about the deals and meals at Mom"s.
Ben Mullin is a Chico State junior. Every week he has one hour"s worth of minimum wage to spend at a local spot. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him on Twitter at @benmullin.

In the aftermath of Huhne's resignation after being charged with perverting the course of justice, over 100 Conservative MPs wrote to the government demanding changes to wind farm legislation.
This includes cuts to subsidies paid to onshore wind farms and changes to planning rules to make it easier for local people to defeat applications for wind farms. Meanwhile there have been numerous attacks on wind energy in the press.
The government was quick to defend its plans to expand onshore wind, an effort that was praised by UK industry body RenewableUK. But the Action for Renewables campaign, which was launched by RenewableUK last year and is funded by its members, has not updated its website since Autumn 2011.
At the time the group was launched in June last year, RenewableUK said the campaign's aim was to bring "together senior business leaders, trade unionists, non-governmental organisations and grass roots activists to call for Britain to generate more clean, green energy from renewable sources such as wind, wave and tidal power."
However, Action for Renewables' "latest news" section on its website featured an announcement of environmentalist Tony Juniper launching the campaign last October. The comment feed has been hijacked with spam, advertising designer shoes and furniture.
A spokesman for RenewableUK explained that the campaign had been busy with "under the radar stuff" rather than press activity and that the campaign was focused at helping local campaigners defend wind farm projects in their area.
"The news section isn't really how we're updating people, it is more focused on Facebook and Twitter," the spokesman said. However, the campaign has just 1800 "followers" on Twitter and no "friends" on Facebook.
Speaking at the campaign launch in October, Juniper said: "For too long the media and the internet have been dominated by myths and hearsay about renewables. This campaign is about setting the record straight and encouraging people to stand up and support properly-sited renewable energy developments around the country.
"The silent majority in support of renewables needs to make its voice heard – now more than ever. Action for Renewables intends to give it the tools to achieve just that."
Additional information 9 February
Although the most recent news of the Action for Renewables site was in October, there have been nine blog posts added between then and January.

How secretive is Sacramento? Consider this:
California governors control access to their own papers for 50 years or until death -- whichever turns out to be longer.
U.S. presidents have such control for just 12 years after they depart office.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
That's one reason why Californians should be rooting for the Sacramento Bee and the Los Angeles Times, which have filed a lawsuit demanding that the legislature turn over basic records over how it spends money.
But Californians should be nervous about the lawsuit too.
That's because in California litigation and disputes on public records access have often ended with diminished access to public records.
Perhaps most famously, in 1988 a Los Angeles Times lawsuit against then-Gov. George Deukmejian ended with a disastrous ruling that still frustrates reporters and citizens who want to hold government accountability.
That lawsuit followed lines similar to the one just filed.
Deukmejian refused to make public his daily calendar and other basic details about how his office spent money.
The Times went to court to demand the records. The courts issued a strong ruling for Deukmejian -- and thus established a very bad precedent on public records. It has only slightly been opened up by the passage of Prop 59, a constitutional amendment on public records, in 2004.
Californians also enjoy shockiingly poor access to the records of previous governors -- in part because of a 1980s fight between the legislature, Secretary of State March Fong Eu, and former Gov. Jerry Brown.
It was as a result of that battle that governors gained control over access to their own papers for 50 years or until death -- whichever turns out to be longer.
That's more than four times longer than U.S. presidents have such control after leaving office.
To be sure, the case of legislative records is a different one.
The legislature has exempted itself from public records laws for decades -- and routinely refuses to hand over documents that would be public in most states.
So the newspapers may feel they have little to lose by taking on the legislature in court.
But there's also a decent chance that the courts -- and California judges have generally been less than friendly to the idea of open, accountable government -- could issue a ruling that sides totally with the legislature and limits existing public records laws and constitutional provisions.
What would be a better approach?
Public records is one area where a ballot initiative makes sense.
Given their distrust of government, Californians might well be willing to entertain a constitutional amendment that makes almost every government document public.
An initiative is not an easy course, but it may carry less risk than a run to the courts.

Despite proven benefits, few brain aneurysm patients receive specialized care
The Neurocritical Care Society is releasing a comprehensive set of guidelines this week to guide physicians and hospitals on how to optimally care for patient's ruptured brain aneurysms. One of the strongest recommendations is that all patients receive specialized care at high-volume stroke centers that treat at least 60 cases per year.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage strikes without warning and results from rupture of an artery supplying the brain. Thirty percent do not survive, and half of those who do are permanently disabled.
The recommendation that patients receive care at high-volume centers is based on a comprehensive analysis of medical outcomes research conducted by an international panel of experts. The report found that relatively fewer patients are treated at high-volume centers, despite overwhelming evidence that care in more experienced centers will most likely result in definitive repair of the aneurysm and a good recovery.
"One important reason for better outcomes in large volume centers is that care is provided by specialized neurocritical care teams," said Dr. Paul Vespa, Director of Neurocritical Care at UCLA Medical Center and lead author of the report. "Once bleeding from the aneurysm is controlled, highly-specialized ICU care is required to detect and treat secondary complications. These complications are often just as deadly, if not more so, than the bleeding event."
Studies indicate that patients who come to a hospital with little experience in managing subarachnoid hemorrhage are rarely transferred to high-volume centers. "The main reason that patients are not transferred is that stroke care is not regionalized in the same way that it is for trauma. It is a patchwork system; sometimes it works, but more often it does not," says Dr. Stephan A. Mayer, Director of Neurocritical Care at Columbia University Medical Center and President of the Neurocritical Care Society.
Medical guidelines play an important role in guiding doctors, hospitals, and public policy as it relates to healthcare. According to Michael N. Diringer, Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at Washington University and Director of the Neurology/Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St Louis, who chaired the consensus conference and co-authored the report, "None of the specific medications or treatments that we analyzed made nearly as much difference as where the patient is initially taken for treatment. These guidelines will hopefully alert patients, doctors, and hospital systems to the importance of regionalized care for brain aneurysm victims."

Obituary: Karen Crawford
Karen Lynne Crawford, 40, passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 14. She was the daughter of James and Patricia Crawford of Portsmouth, N.H. Karen was born on July 21, 1972, in Portland, Maine. She attended school in Kennebunk, Maine, and graduated from Thomas College in Waterville, Maine. After graduating college, Karen and many of her college friends moved to Colorado. Karen immediately fell in love with the mountains and all the people she was to meet there. For the most part she lived in Frisco. Karen became part of the tapestry of Frisco and was loved as much as she loved all of its residents. Karen was a beautiful and spiritual girl. She was champion of the underdog, and disliked anything mean. She had a quick wit and shining smile. She will be missed by all.
Karen is survived by her sisters Deborah Crawford of Wells Beach, Maine; Susan Crawford and her daughter Evelyn of Nottingham, N.H.; many aunts, uncles and cousins and a multitude of friends. But, she will also be sorely missed by her beloved companion dog, Bella. A celebration of Karen's life will be held in Frisco shortly and in Portsmouth, N.H. in the spring. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Summit County Animal Shelter, or to Andy's Fund at the New Hampshire SPCA.

FLORES, Jorge Rojas. The rights of the child in Chile: an historical view, 1910-1930.Translated byCristina Labarca Cortés. Historia (Santiago) [online]. 2007, vol.3Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0717-7194.
This article demonstrates that there was an early influence of children rights ideas in Chile between 1900 and 1930. These ideas were expressed through declarations that circulated in Chilean society and were variable. They ranged from those that demanded physical protection for children to those that pushed for a recognition of highest levels of autonomy of them. Even though these declarations did not have a solid supporting doctrine, they generated an impact in intellectual circles at the beginning of the twentieth century. The different opinions elaborated about children rights -opposing or supporting them- gave room to the establishment of public policies about the issue, which are presented in this work.
Keywords : Rights of the child; infancy; protection of the child; infantile protagonism.

Forwards coach Ricky Nebbett admits places are up for grabs in the Esher team after watching his below-par side suffered defeat at the hands of Old Albanians, writes Pippa Field.
With just four SSE National League One defeats all season, Esher travelled to Hertfordshire in confident mood on Saturday, but, despite scoring the first points through Luke Daniels' penalty, found themselves entering the break 14-3 down.
Things didn't get any better in the second 40 either as a further two converted tries extended the hosts' lead with Cameron Gentiles' late try a mere consolation in the eventual 31-8 loss.
And although praising the victors, Nebbett was in no mood to make excuses for his own side's performances.
"You have to give credit to Old Albanians, they started the game really well, the first ten minutes they really came at us," said Nebbett.
"I expected a reaction but I did not get one, after half-time there was a little bit of one but not enough.
"I looked at their team, they had a few boys from the Saracens set up and the England U21s so I knew they were taking this game pretty seriously.
"But there was a lack of desire from us which was the most frustrating thing for me. The whole attitude was nowhere near where it should be.
"Places are up for grabs, I don't think you can substitute want and desire to play for the club.
"The level of commitment at times was not acceptable.
"I will make changes, possibly those that come in may not have that same level of experience or even ability, but if that desire is there, you're half way there."
Despite being under pressure early on, Daniels' penalty on 16 minutes nudged Esher in front before Old Albanians finally got the rewards their play deserved, with two late first-half tries converted by Lawrence Rayner.
Rayner would again be on target after the break, slotting a penalty before converting two further tries as his side came away with the winning bonus point.
For Esher, it was a case of what could have been with second-placed Rosslyn Park also losing, as Nebbett's side, currently third, missed the chance to close the gap on the leaders.
"With Rosslyn Park losing, we had a chance to make up ground on second place and Doncaster Knights out front but we missed the opportunity," he added.
"It was a tough weekend all in all. We have just got to pick ourselves up and make sure we are ready to go on Saturday.
"We have got to see some sort of reaction, from the first team all the way to the second team. It's a massive opportunity for the guys these next few weeks, both individually and as a team."

VANCOUVER – Real Salt Lake (15-10-6, 51 points, West #1) bounced back from back-to-back losses in a big way on Saturday, getting a very strong performance out of a makeshift lineup to beat Vancouver Whitecaps FC (11-11-8, 41 points, West #6) 1-0 at BC Place.
RSL is now temporarily in first-place in both the Supporters' Shield and Western Conference races, though the Claret-and-Cobalt will fall out of the Supporters' Shield lead following Sunday's game between Seattle Sounders FC and New York Red Bulls. RSL will remain in first place in the Western Conference if Seattle ties or loses on Sunday.
FW Devon Sandoval scored for the Claret-and-Cobalt, which made 10 changes to the lineup that lost last Saturday against the San Jose Earthquakes ahead of Tuesday's 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final against D.C. United at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Sandoval put the Claret-and-Cobalt on top in the ninth minute. DF Lovel Palmer collected a FW Olmes Garcia pass on the right wing, taking a touch into space and curling an early cross into the area. Sandoval got on the end of Palmer's lofted ball, finding space in between two Vancouver defenders and heading home inside the near post from the top of the six-yard-box.
Vancouver very nearly equalized in the 14th minute. Whitecaps FC FW Camilo Sanvezzo collected a loose RSL corner kick on the left flank and took off on the counter, racing down the sideline and finding open MF Nigel Reo-Coker just outside the top of the box for a 1-v-1 with RSL GK Jeff Attinella. Attinella came up big on the play, racing off his line to swipe the ball off of Reo-Coker's foot as he hit his shot.
Attinella came up with another fantastic stop in the 36th minute. Vancouver FW Russell Teibert collected a clipped ball in the left side of the area, controlling it with his chest and slamming a left-footed volley on frame from 10 yards that Attinella parried over the bar.
Vancouver Manager Martin Rennie made a pair of attacking substitutions in the 54th minute, bringing speedy FW's Kekuta Manneh and Darren Mattocks on for FW Tommy Heinemann and MF Gershon Koffie.
The game opened up greatly following the changes, with both sides creating numerous opportunities. Vancouver almost bagged an equalizer in the 55th. The 'Caps clipped a ball in from the left corner and RSL wasn't able to clear, allowing several Vancouver players to hit shots from close range. Thankfully, the Claret-and-Cobalt came up with some solid last-ditch defending, with DF's Chris Schuler and Abdoulie Mansally among those who made important blocks.
RSL had a pair of good looks in the 57th and 61st minutes. MF Luis Gil had the first opportunity, collecting a through ball from MF Sebastian Velasquez on the left side before cutting in on his right foot and curling a 15-yard shot just wide of the far post.
Vancouver GK David Ousted robbed RSL Captain Yordany Alvarez of a goal in the 61st. Alvarez corralled a loose ball just outside the 18 on the right side, volleying a shot that looked ticketed for the back of the net. Ousted had other ideas, however, scrambling to the far post and fully extending to touch the ball around the left upright.
RSL was denied by Ousted again in the 73rd minute, when Garcia got free in the right side of the area and hit a shot on goal that the Danish 'keeper blocked nicely.
The Claret-and-Cobalt held strong against desperate Whitecaps attacks in the final minutes, limiting Vancouver to just one real opportunity. Manneh had the chance, collecting a ball just outside the box and firing a shot just wide of the top-left corner.
Substitute FW Joao Plata nearly sealed the game for RSL in the second minute of stoppage time, collecting a ball on the left flank and cutting in on his right foot before firing a low shot off the near post from 15 yards.
Real Salt Lake will return to action on Tuesday, when the club will host the 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final against D.C. United at Rio Tinto Stadium. Tickets to Tuesday's 100th Open Cup Final can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.

Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL 1-0 VAN
- Tonight's win makes RSL the first team in MLS's post-shootout era to reach the 15-win and 50-point plateaus in four consecutive seasons. Real Salt Lake now has a total of 51 points, retaking the lead in the Western Conference and the Supporters' Shield race, albeit shortly, as Seattle Sounders FC and the New York Red Bulls face off tomorrow. RSL will remain in first place in the Western Conference if Seattle loses or ties against New York.
- Tonight's win was the Claret-and-Cobalt's first-ever win at BC Place. RSL went 2-0-1 against the Caps' this year, improving to 4-2-2 all-time against the Canadian side. RSL has now won two straight games in Canada after never having won north of the border until beating Toronto FC 1-0 at BMO Field on June 29.
- RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis ran out a makeshift lineup tonight, making 10 changes to the team that lost 2-1 to the San Jose Earthquakes last Saturday. The team didn't miss a beat, however, outperforming Vancouver's first-choice squad throughout the 90 minutes en route to the win.
- Tonight's game was RSL DF Chris Schuler's first appearance since May 11. Schuler had been out due to injury, first with a left foot stress response and then with an ankle sprain. Prior to going out injured, Schuler had played every minute of RSL's first 12 matches.
- RSL DF Brandon McDonald paired Schuler at center back tonight, marking the ninth different center back pairing the Claret-and-Cobalt has used this year. McDonald has now appeared in three games for Real Salt Lake since being acquired in a trade with D.C. United earlier this year. RSL has a 1-0-2 record when McDonald plays, with all three of his appearances coming on the road.
- Real Salt Lake looks ahead to Tuesday as they host D.C. United in the 100th Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Open Cup Final presents RSL with an opportunity to win its first trophy of the year, and earn automatic entry into the 2014/2015 CONCACAF Champions League.
- Tonight's win was the first career MLS victory and first career MLS shutout for RSL GK Jeff Attinella. Attinella was 0-2-1 as a starter entering tonight's match, though he did come on in relief of injured RSL GK Josh Saunders in the Claret-and-Cobalt's 3-0 win at FC Dallas on July 13.

When a newly revitalized Céline debuted the Luggage Tote in 2010 under the direction of industry heavyweight Phoebe Philo, it wasn't immediately clear that the design would turn into the industry-altering heavyweight that it has. At first, the bag was relatively easily available on the stores of shelves that had carried the brand before its relaunch, and you could even buy it online. Then, everything changed.
It's impossible to pinpoint exactly where the tipping point occurred, but the first time I remember really taking notice of the Luggage Tote, it was on the arm of an Olsen twin. The right moment of exposure from the right celebrity at the exact right time can change everything for a bag's popularity, and soon after, the bags disappeared from online retailers and long waitlists replaced in-store stock.
In the intervening seasons, certain sizes have been discontinued and others introduced, prices have nearly doubled and new materials and colors abound. Because Céline is very cloak-and-dagger about all its products, we've assembled all the information on current sizes, prices, colors and leathers that we could for Spring 2015. We've surely missed some things, so if you have additional intel, leave it in the comments and we'll investigate and update as needed. In particular, we need all the intel you have on the large Phantom–information on its pricing and availability is extremely scarce.

Year Created: 2010

The 60th meeting between the Monticello Buckaroo and San Juan Bronco football teams ended Friday night with the Broncos on the winning side, 29-0. The Broncos ran their season mark to 2-1 with the shutout, but all Monticello seemed to get out of the game was a nicely soggy wet football field and a few "coulda, woulda, shouldas."
Played on a drenched field that only got drenchier on account of two downpours during the course of the game, the Bucks had a familiar time of not holding on to the ball against the Broncos, turning the ball over six times in the game.
That follows a pattern of the last four years, in which the Bucks have lost all four games by a combined 129-13 score while coughing up the football at least 22 times. Not that they didn't have their chances in this one though.
The Bucks moved the ball well in the first half, only to turn the ball over three times inside the Bronco 10 yard line, and also a fourth time at the end of the half, running out of clock on the Bronco 12 yard line.
The Bronco defense came up with a big play each time they needed one to keep Monticello off the scoreboard. Though stifled offensively somewhat in the first half, the Bronco offense managed one big play of their own: a bomb from QB Dane Lyman to receiver Terron Jack that covered 78 yards for the only points of the first half.
Things were different in the second half for the Broncos, when they received great field position and motivation from a dazzling kickoff return by sophomore Drew Nielson, who hastened to the Buckaroo 40 yard line before being tackled. Two plays later, Kohler Black scored from 35 yards out.
After the two point conversion, the Broncos suddenly led 14-0 and the momentum had shifted, causing many of the fans to speculate about the gist of Bronco coach Monty Lee's halftime pep talk.
As the rain began to pummel the field once more, the Bronco's defense scored on a good ole rugby fumble scrum, in which the ball covered 25 yards while being dribbled, mishandled, and thumped around by a whole host of flailing Buckaroos and Broncos before Colby Monson finally fell on the dang thing for good in the end zone for a touchdown in a play that took about as long as it takes to peruse this sentence.... twice.
Terron Jack added another TD on a 23 yard pass from Lyman, while the defense added a safety on a Buckaroo fumbled punt to end the frustrating night for the Bucks and make the Broncos' trip home to a dry Blanding a little nicer.
This week finds the Bucks on the road in Mancos, Colorado, and the Broncos on the road in Cedar City. The Bucks are hoping for a return to winning ways against the Blue Jays, whom they haven't played since 1992, but against whom they have never lost, winning eight times with one 0-0 tie.
The Broncos play the 3A Redmen for the first time since 1960 and only the second time ever. The Broncos won that 1960 game 38-28, but face an uncertain test in the 2-1 Redmen who walloped last year's 3A champ Bear River 33-8 in their first game, only to be staggered by the same score, 33-8, by 2A's Millard the very next week. This past week, Cedar recovered to blast ALA 51-0.

Monticello girls placed first out of eight teams at the annual Moab Invitational. San Juan boys captured the boys team crown with the Monticello boys second. Macee Nielson had another strong showing in the girls race, finishing second. Nielson, who led most of the way, experienced some navigation problems, not unheard of in this race, taking two wrong turns, but still finished second, only four seconds behind the winner.
According to Monticello coach Jeff Hunt, "The 95 degree heat got to Shantel Musselman but the girls had strong performances by Heather Holyoak, Mariah Harris, Aleesha Wells and Kayla Holyoak," giving the girls from Monticello the team title.
San Juan's Katie Hiatt also got lost, ending up down on Main Street asking for directions back to the high school. My, my. This is not the first time kids have lost their way in Moab. My own daughter did so nearly six years ago on the same course. Hey, how about markin' the course a little better down there!
On the boys side, Adam Butler completed his 2007 debut race with a resounding victory for the Buckaroos, finishing over two minutes in front of the rest of the pack, of which only a few were lost.
San Juan boys, led by Taylor Francom, finished first in the team competition. Francom, who followed the tire marks of Butler to finish second, was followed by Cody Hatcher in fifth, Parker Palmer in 12th, Michael Flavel in 15th, and Dallas Hall, 22nd.
For the second place Buckaroos, Casey Randall, Trey Esplin, Trent Sonderegger and Cody Randall ran great races.
Monticello 8th grader Shelby Lewis won the junior high girls race with 7th grader Britney Keith finishing second. Justin Wright was 6th for the boys with Kelland Brewer finishing seventh.

As Fed 'taper' looms, so do market surprises?
- Wall Street expects Federal Reserve to finally start pulling back on bond purchases in September
- But the market could be %27surprised%27 if the Fed is either too aggressive or muddies its message
- Market reaction will be driven by how far off the Fed%27s moves are from consensus thinking
NEW YORK -- It's no surprise Wall Street traders have placed their bets on when and how the Federal Reserve will start to cut back on its market-friendly bond-buying program. What could come as a surprise is if the wagers don't jibe with what the Fed announces Wednesday.
Whether the Fed will taper or not has been dissected for weeks. The market reaction will depend on how close what the Fed does regarding its quantitative easing (QE) policy is to the consensus forecast.
MONDAY:How markets are doing
SUMMERS:Suddenly out of Fed race
ECONOMISTS:Expect Fed cut in stimulus this week
LEHMAN LESSONS:Five years later
The market's view, summed up nicely by a USA TODAY survey of 44 economists on Sept. 11-13, is that the Fed will start tapering its $85 billion in monthly purchases of long-term U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed bonds in September (61% said so). Nearly nine of 10 economists (89%) also expect the Fed to at first be cautious, reducing asset purchases by $15 billion or less. Economists expect the Fed's first or deepest cuts will be on Treasuries.
But group think is often wrong. What Fed surprise could cause markets to gyrate violently?
• Delay tapering. If the Fed opts not to taper, perhaps to offset any fiscal-related headwinds this fall, it would likely be viewed as a "positive" surprise, say Boris Rjavinski and Mike Schumacher, fixed income strategists at UBS.
"The market has already priced in a certain amount of taper," says Rjavinski, pointing out that the yield on 10-year Treasuries, which have jumped more than a percentage point since May on taper fears, are back to levels last seen in August 2010, when the Fed's second round of bond-buying kicked in. His point: Some of that move higher in rates might be unwound short-term if the Fed stands pat.
Stocks would probably rally as well on no taper or a gentle taper, "on the basic theory that QE has been good for all assets, including stocks, and that the longer QE lasts, the more positive it is," adds Schumacher
• Do a supersize taper. If the Fed cuts back massively on its monthly purchases by, say, $20 billion to $25 billion, markets would probably drop on fears that higher borrowing costs would hurt the economy, says Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. "Stocks could suffer that 10% correction on fears housing would get hit, consumers would retrench and the growth outlook would turn negative," he says.
• Dial back mortgage paper first. Only 2% of economists polled by USA TODAY think it's a good idea for the Fed to reduce just its purchases of mortgage-backed bonds. "That would be ugly and a shock to the housing market, as borrowers would be confronted with higher rates," says Schumacher.
There are two possible wildcards. One, President Obama taps someone to replace outgoing Fed chief Ben Bernanke who's not currently a member of the Fed's voting committee and who has different views on winding down QE. Two, if the Fed this week makes a change to its guidance.
If the Fed, which now says it will end QE when the unemployment rate is around 7% and won't start raising short-term rates until the jobless rate is at least 6.5%, lowers those thresholds, it could boost markets, as it would suggest the Fed's easy-money policies will be in force longer.

It's all the more disturbing because this behavior has become the template for attacks on women who "dare" speak their minds online.
Just before reading this article I had the following exchange:
Him: "Why was he doing that to you?"
Me: "Because I am a woman who speaks out online."
That's all that has to happen in order to be targeted.
