Some kids are just natural night owls, preferring to stay up as late as possible. In fact, researcher Andrew Lim, M.D., found that this tendency is genetically based. This means that if you prefer late night hours, chances are, so will your offspring. Don't worry too much about this tendency, though. The University of Rochester Medical Center recommends that children get 9 or 10 hours of sleep each night, but says that an occasional late night every so often won't really hurt. In fact, there are all kinds of exciting activities for kids who like to stay up past midnight!
Movie Marathon
If you live in a major city, you may have a local movie theater that offers late-night screenings. These are frequently offered on the Thursday night of a big movie premiere, so this is an activity better suited to summer vacation when it's possible to sleep in on Friday. If it's during the school year, or your town tends to roll up the sidewalks early, you can instead allow the kids to pick out a stack of rental DVDs and have their own at-home midnight movie marathon, preferably decaffeinated ones, if you have any hopes of their getting to sleep before the sun comes up!
Midnight Snack
A late-night trip to a restaurant can add an element of adventure to the fun of eating out. Perhaps your town has a diner that caters to night shift workers, or you could always try one of the chains such as Denny's and Waffle House that are known for being open 24 hours. If you don't have access to any late-night restaurants, your kids might also enjoy making a midnight snack run to an all-night convenience store such as 7-Eleven, or you could just stay home and have them raid the fridge.
Shopping Spree
Shopping for new clothes and school supplies becomes a whole lot more fun--and the stores will be a lot less crowded--if you go on a late-night buying trip. Walmart Supercenters, located throughout the U.S., are always a late-night shopper's paradise. Most of these stores are open 24 hours and they feature a wide range of food, electronics, toys and clothes that kids love to browse.
Seeing Stars
Send your kids outdoors at midnight to experience the night sky in all its starry glory. Print off a star chart for them and see how many constellations they can spot. They can start off by identifying the easier ones like the Big Dipper and Orion, and then use the chart to navigate to nearby constellations such as Taurus the Bull or Canis Major. Once the kids head back inside, you can look up and read some of the Greek myths these star formations were named after.
Night Games
Grab a flashlight and head outside to play a rousing game of flashlight tag. The player who is "it" holds the flashlight and counts to 10 while the others run off to hide in the dark. "It" then tries to find the players, and when he finds somebody, he shines the flashlight on them, at which point this person either becomes "it" or is sent to "jail" until all of the other players have been caught. You can also use the flashlight to play a midnight game of kick the can--take a can and designate this as "home base." This game starts off just like flashlight tag, only when "it" finds somebody, he calls this person's name and they race back to the can. If "it" reaches the can first, the person who was hiding then goes into "jail". Once somebody is in "jail", though, any of the uncaptured players can try to sneak up and kick the can. If they make it without being caught by "it", everyone gets out of "jail" and can go back to hiding while "it" has to go find the can in the dark and put it back where it was. When all the players have been captured, the first person to be sent to jail is now "it."

Energy Efficient Homes and Building Design
View Energy Efficient Homes for Sale
A building's location and surroundings play a key role in regulating its temperature and illumination. For example, trees, landscaping, and hills can provide shade and block wind. In cooler climates, designing buildings with south-facing windows increases the amount of sun (ultimately heat energy) entering the building, minimizing energy use, by maximizing passive solar heating. Tight building design, including energy-efficient windows, well-sealed doors, and additional thermal insulation of walls, basement slabs, and foundations can reduce heat loss by 25 to 50 percent.
Dark roofs may become up to 39 C° (70 F°) hotter than the most reflective white surfaces, and they transmit some of this additional heat inside the building. US Studies have shown that lightly colored roofs use 40 percent less energy for cooling than buildings with darker roofs. White roof systems save more energy in sunnier climates. Advanced electronic heating and cooling systems can moderate energy consumption and improve the comfort of people in the building.
Proper placement of windows and skylights as well as the use of architectural features that reflect light into a building can reduce the need for artificial lighting. Increased use of natural and task lighting has been shown by one study to increase productivity in schools and offices. Compact fluorescent lights use two-thirds less energy and may last 6 to 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs. Newer fluorescent lights produce a natural light, and in most applications they are cost effective, despite their higher initial cost, with payback periods as low as a few months.
Effective energy-efficient building design can include the use of low cost Passive Infra Reds (PIRs) to switch-off lighting when areas are unnoccupied such as toilets, corridors or even office areas out-of-hours. In addition, lux levels can be monitored using daylight sensors linked to the building's lighting scheme to switch on/off or dim the lighting to pre-defined levels to take into account the natural light and thus reduce consumption. Building Management Systems (BMS) link all of this together in one centralised computer to control the whole building's lighting and power requirements.
The choice of which space heating or cooling technology to use in buildings can have a significant impact on energy use and efficiency. For example, replacing an older 50% efficient natural gas furnace with a new 95% efficient one will dramatically reduce energy use, carbon emissions, and winter natural gas bills. Ground source heat pumps can be even more energy efficient and cost effective. These systems use pumps and compressors to move refrigerant fluid around a thermodynamic cycle in order to "pump" heat against its natural flow from hot to cold, for the purpose of transferring heat into a building from the large thermal reservoir contained within the nearby ground. The end result is that heat pumps typically use four times less electrical energy to deliver an equivalent amount of heat than a direct electrical heater does. Another advantage of a ground source heat pump is that it can be reversed in summertime and operate to cool the air by transferring heat from the building to the ground. The disadvantage of ground source heat pumps is their high initial capital cost, but this is typically recouped within five to ten years as a result of lower energy use.
Smart meters are slowly being adopted by the commercial sector to highlight to staff and for internal monitoring purposes the building's energy usage in a dynamic presentable format. The use of Power Quality Analysers can be introduced into an existing building to assess usage, harmonic distortion, peaks, swells and interruptions amongst others to ultimately make the building more energy-efficient. Often such meters communicate by using wireless sensor networks.
A deep energy retrofit is a whole-building analysis and construction process that uses to achieve much larger energy savings than conventional energy retrofits. Deep energy retrofits can be applied to both residential and non-residential ("commercial") buildings. A deep energy retrofit typically results in energy savings of 30 percent or more, perhaps spread over several years, and may significantly improve the building value. The Empire State Building is undergoing a deep energy retrofit process that is projected to be completed in 2013. Upon completion, the project team, consisting of representatives from Johnson Controls, Rocky Mountain Institute, Clinton Climate Initiative, and Jones Lang LaSalle will have achieved an annual energy use reduction of 38% and $4.4 million. The Indianapolis City-County Building recently underwent a deep energy retrofit process, which has achieved an annual energy reduction of 46% and $750,000 annual energy savings.

Mozy's Shawarma
Written By: kdmarshall|
March 12, 2011|
Posted In:
A shawarma is a sandwich-like wrap of shaved lamb, goat, chicken, turkey, beef, or a mixture thereof. The meat is placed on a spit, and may be grilled for as long as a day. Shawarma is a fast-food staple across the Arab world, Europe and the Caucasus.
Shawarma is eaten with pita bread, Lavash bread, tabbouleh salad, fattoush salad, taboon bread, tomato and cucumber. Toppings include tahini, hummus, pickled turnips and amba.
Shawarma is shared by many country variations. In Greece, it is called gyros, meaning "turned". In Armenian, it is "Tarna", literally meaning "to turn", and in Turkish it is called döner kebab, which in turn means "turning kebab". The word shawarma comes from the Turkish word çevirme meaning turning.
I was first introduced to shawarmas in the 1980's when I was a university student in Ottawa. Ottawa had, at the time (and likely still does), a large Lebanese community. With shawarmas it was love at first bite. I ate shawarmas all the time. I knew where the best ones were. I would seek them out, go out of my way to have one.
When I graduated from university, I took an extended vacation to Europe and the Middle East. In Greece, Turkey, Israel and Cyprus I found my favorite food, always prepared a little differently, but always great.
The shawarma is the Middle East's answer to the hamburger. I bet you can find shawarmas in every country in the world. I've eaten shawarmas in Australia and in Taiwan. I cannot bypass a turning spit with out ordering. I've had some very good shawarmas.
I recently had one of the best (if not the very best) shawarmas ever…
Mozy's Shawarma is in the mall on the corner of University and King – the mall which Starbucks has the corner spot, across from Wilfred Laurier University.
If you know what a good shawarma should taste like, you won't be disappointed. If you've never had a shawarma what are you waiting for?

Sorry this is not even close to being a good shawarma. The KW area is in need of some decent shawarma places. I thought with all the universities there would be some here. Since moving here I have been searching and the only one close to being good is at the Conestoga mall. The only downfall are the tough as leather pita breads.

I love the food at the Conestoga Mall!
kdmarshallMarch 12, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Mike from Ottawa. I remember fondly the shawarmas in Ottawa. I'll have to revisit some of my old haunts next time I'm there. Mozy's is the best I've eaten here though. The conestoga mall shawarmas I am exceedingly familiar with and Mozy's I think are 100 times better.

I believe that Shawerma Plus is the best place to go for nowadays which is on 220 king street.

Is this not the best Valentine's Day card ever? My girlfriend sent it and I was crying with laughter the moment I opened it. That being said, if you looking for some Valentine's day inspiration, I can tell you with certainty you won't find it here (ever). Even when I was in a relationship, it just wasn't my thing. So, instead of wasting a perfectly good dinner reservation on a prix fixe menu, I am keeping it low key with friends, a bottle(s) of wine, a great meal (that is totally TBD), and maxing out my Netflix account. Feeling like this is the perfect plan.

The ball drops. The lights flash. The fireworks explode. "Auld Lang Syne" plays. When all those things happen at once, it can only mean one thing: New Year's!
We all love a good New Year's celebration, but with it comes the reminder of goals, responsibilities and resolutions for the upcoming year. And if you're like most people, somewhere in the middle of all your resolutions is money—as in, the desire to manage it better.
If any of your resolutions for 2015 involve money, then your success will start with a budget. I know: The dreaded "B" word. Sure, creating a budget and cash flow plan doesn't really sound like much fun. But doesn't it sound more fun to go on a vacation with your friends or family and come home without worrying about credit card bills and debt?
That's what you can do when you make a plan for your money—one that involves dumping debt, cutting up credit cards, and living debt free. You'll give up on your resolution much more quickly if you don't have it written down.
So how do you start? First, figure out how much money you have to work with for the upcoming month—before the beginning of each month. This includes your income, your spouses income and any extra income you all may have.
Spend every dollar on paper, on purpose, before the month begins. Give every dollar a name. This is called a zero-based budget, and it works. Basically, when you're planning for the month ahead, you should be able to subtract your expenses (outgo) from your income to equal zero. When you're done writing the budget, you shouldn't have anything left over.
A good plan lives and changes as your life changes. You'll need to review your budget each month throughout the year to make adjustments. If you budgeted too little in one area, then adjust. If you budgeted too much in another area, then adjust.
If you've been living without a budget, it will probably take you a few months to get the hang of it, and that's okay. But in a few months, you should have a budget you can rely on.
A budget isn't about complicating your life. It's about knowing where your cash is going and making your life a whole lot easier. Just imagine how great would it feel to be debt-free and in charge of your finances in 2015. Sounds like a happy new year to me!
I want to hear from you! What are your top money goals for 2015?

"Noah, guess what? Barb gave me a pair of swim goggles for you to use at swim lessons," I shared.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He protested.
"Honey, they are green goggles just like the ones you had," I explained.
"No, they're pink!" He refuted.
"Look Noah, these goggles are not pink. They are green -- same as yours," I said as I presented him with the replacement.
"No, they are not. They are pink," he argued.
"Noah, they are not in any way close to the color pink. They are green," I challenged.
"No, they are not. They are pink," he continued.
"Noah, go to your room for five minutes," I said
Surprisingly he went to his room without complaint. After the time had lapsed, I told him to come out and look at the goggles again.
"Noah, what color are these goggles?" I inquired.
"I don't know," he grumbled.
"Noah, they are green," I belabored.
"I guess they are a little green," he admitted.
Noah is very black and white with his thinking. He doesn't like surprises and doesn't like it when things don't fit in the box he has previously put them in. In this case, he associates the tutu-coveting, American Girl doll-loving, Braun girls with the color pink and could not fathom (even when he saw the green goggles with his own two eyes) that they would wear or own anything that wasn't pink. I gave him (and myself) a time-out because sometimes all it takes is a few minutes for him to re-organize his thoughts and let his emotions catch up to his brain.
Today's incident reminds me of the time when he refused to take Girl Scout cookies in his lunchbox. He thought the cookies were only meant for girls to eat and he was afraid that the boys at his lunch table would make fun of him. Too bad I didn't let that one stand...I could have had all the Thin Mints to myself! Now that alone should prove just how much I love this kid.

…and three times the energy!
I've photographed this family three times now, and they are so much fun. These kids have lots of energy. Like, lots and lots. It's always a great session with plenty of giggles and tickles, and crazy faces from Dad to get them laughing (thanks Dad!). I think you can tell from the photos just what a happy family they are.
We had the session in their beautiful, light-filled home, which is great to get everyone relaxed and comfortable, but also adds meaning to the photos since a home is filled with so many special memories of growing up.

BLUE ILLUSIONS – Dragonfly – mixed media on paper – 8 x 10.
Lately, I have been inspired to explore creative new ways to design the dragonfly. In this piece, the meaning of Dragonfly is highlighted through the use of words, colors, transparencies and light. This mixed media art was created using ink, acrylics and charcoal on paper.
The notes within the drawing are written partially in mirror image similar to how da Vinci included notes in his art. It reads…
"Life is never quite the way it appears, but is always filled with light and color. Dragonfly can help you see through your illusions and thus allow your own light to shine forth. Dragonfly brings out brightness of transformation and the wonder of colorful new vision."
To purchase, please contact me. To see more original paintings or dragonfly art, please visit 5 Element Studios.

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since our last entry.... here is a quick update as to what we have been up to since March:
In May, Jared had a work trip in Holland and I was able to go with him! It was an absolute blast! We spent time in the Netherlands, Brussels and Burge.
In June, we took Jared's oldest sister, her husband, and 2 oldest kids sailing in the BVIs. It was a lot of fun to take family and show them what sailing is all about!
August 3, we celebrated our 5th Anniversary!!! Jared surprised me with an extended weekend trip to Mesa Verde and Telluride, Colorado! It was absolutely beautiful and so much fun! I can't believe it has been 5 years!
Other than that, we have been working and just hanging out.... hopefully it won't be months until our blog is updated next!

A hedge of blueberry bushes (Vaccinium spp.) is an attractive addition to a home garden or edible landscape. These tidy, upright shrubs are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8 and grow well in most parts of the country. Blueberries require acidic soil, ample irrigation and rich, well-drained soil to thrive. Fortunately, they are not quite as exacting in their sun requirements, making them productive even when planted in the shade of trees and buildings.
Forest Blueberries
Several species of blueberry grow wild in the shade of woodlands across the southeastern United States and are available through mail order nurseries that specialize in native plants. These include the southern high bush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) and Darrow's blueberry (Vaccinium darrowii), hardy in USDA zones 7a to 8b and 8a to 8b, respectively. The fruit quality of these two species is excellent, and they have been used to breed many commercial blueberry varieties. The blueberries native to northern areas tend to be less shade-tolerant, growing as vast open thickets in full sun.
Improved Varieties
Improved blueberry varieties can be divided into three main types -- rabbiteye, southern high bush and northern high bush. The first two were developed primarily from native southern blueberries, which means they have greater shade tolerance than those bred exclusively from the northern types. Popular rabbiteye cultivars include "Powderblue," "Premier" and "Tifblue." Some of the best southern high bush varieties are "O'Neal," "Sunshine Blue" and "Georgia Gem." The northern high bush types are less shade-tolerant, but still worth growing in partial sun and include "Patriot," "Bluecrop" and "Meader."
Effects of Shade
All blueberries tolerate shade to some degree, but as a general rule, fruit production decreases as shade increases. However, plants with at least four hours of sun will usually produce enough fruit to be worthwhile for the home grower. In hot, dry climates, blueberries actually prefer some afternoon shade to stay in best health and productivity. Plants in shaded locations develop long, lanky stems and lose the compact leafy form that makes them attractive as landscape plants.
A relative of wild blueberries is the evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum). They grow in USDA zones 7 to 10 and are similar to the wild blueberries of the Southeast, except the fruit is smaller and they do not lose their leaves. Evergreen huckleberries actually require part shade, growing up to 10 feet tall alongside huge conifers throughout the coastal mountains. Huckleberries have never been domesticated as a food crop, yet the berries are delicious and they are commonly available in native plant nurseries elsewhere in the country.

SAVE THE FROGS! Platinum Visa Card
Welcome to the original SAVE THE FROGS!, which served as our primary website from March 2008 until May 2017, educating over three million web visitors about amphibians!
SAVE THE FROGS! is still active, but on May 12th, 2017 our original website (which you are now viewing) was officially deprecated, meaning it is no longer being maintained or developed. On the contrary, it is slowly but surely being dismantled and all of its content migrated to the current www.savethefrogs.com, which is built on a more modern, capable and secure website system.
This original site still functions, but be aware that its contents will be disappearing from it...and re-appearing at savethefrogs.com.
You can access this original site via its direct link:
We apologize for any incovenience this causes, but we can assure you the final result will be a significantly improved website experience! Thank you for your support and we will see you over at the brand new www.savethefrogs.com!

Our brain has always been seen as a very complex system, from the very first time scientists identified it as the organ controlling all the rest, including thoughts.
In these last hundred years scientists have discovered a lot about the brain, including the fact that there are strong commonalities among brains of different species, and in the last 15 years we have seen an acceleration in discoveries as new ways to look at the brain were discovered and applied.
Yet, rather than converging on a precise understanding any new door that opens up as result of new monitoring technologies is creating new questions.
This is the case for a research presented in an article on Nature describing the discovery made by Columbia University scientists that used a new optical technique to track the communications between neurones. This occurs via synaptic junctions and what the scientists discovered is that just 20% of active neurones get involved in the communication exchanging dopamine. 80% remain silent.
Are these synapses useless? Unlikely. One of the hypotheses under consideration is that these synapses are a mechanism of information coding.
Now scientists are turning to other neurotransmitters to see how synapses behave. The goal is to gain a better understanding on the role of synapses and neurotransmitters. We know that an alteration in the communication mechanism leads to disorders like Parkinson's disease, addiction and schizophrenia. Understanding can lead to therapy and cure.
