Great Backyard Bird Count (Feb.15-18)
Celebrating birds, birding, and nature this weekend. Join volunteers nationwide as they track the types and number of birds found in their backyards and communities.
"We are encouraging people to go outside and count birds for the first time this year," . . . "By submitting their counts online, birdwatchers can quickly see how the dots they put on the map form new patterns that tell new stories about the birds that share the world in which we live, including our own backyards and parks."

Great shoe
"This shoe runs true to size. I am a true size 5 and it fits perfect."

"I have always been somewhat reluctant to order anything online, especially shoes, since I felt it was necessary to try them on first. I can honestly say that not only was I happy to receive them the next day, but they were absolutely beautiful! I normally wear a 7.5, but through my experience from shopping in general, I knew to order my Prada shoes slightly larger. I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly and were very comfortable. I can't wait to wear them. And the SALE, with my rewards, combined with free shipping only made things more sweeter!!! Totally happy with my purchase!"

Tips for Maternity Photography
Document your pregnancy
If you are willing and able to do multiple shoots, try documenting your growth. Take the first shot when you first become pregnant, then, beginning at month 3 (earlier or later depending on your body & when you begin to show) take one photo a month. Choose a specific place and angle- that way the only thing changing is your belly. In the end you can print them out, bind them together, and make a fun flipbook of your belly as it grows!
® Amy Postle
Choose the right photographer
First, ask your husband to be the photographer. Not only will these be special because of the pregnancy, but also an intimate experience for the two of you. I also recommend enlisting a close friend or hiring a photographer whom you're comfortable with to take additional photos. That way you can embrace the opportunity to have your husband in a few of the shots with you.
® Amy Postle
Have options for clothing
I always suggest bringing 3 different outfits:
1. Bra & Panty set- this shot is for you and your husband. Show off your sexy new body, and embrace that part of the pregnancy. Lingerie will definitely show the most off.
2. Yoga pants and a tank top- this will be great to show to your in-laws, co-workers, or anyone else who is anxious to see you pregnant. This is still form fitting, yet modest.
3. A button down shirt (even one of your husbands!) and some boy-short type panties- always a classic look. This always seems to work beautifully for pregnancy photos. It also bridges the gap between lingerie and yoga pants.
® Amy Postle
Involve your other children
If you have other children, bring them into the photographs and encourage them to interact with you and your belly. Ask them to talk to their baby brother or sister- it will be not only special for you, but the interaction will make an amazing photo opportunity.
® Amy Postle
Play around with angles
Since most of the weight you'll gain is in your belly, shooting straight on often gives the illusion that you're not (or are hardly) pregnant! Turn to show your profile. Also, keep in mind that the photographer's eye level should be slightly below yours- shooting from above elongates and gives a slimming effect, while shooting from too far below, achieves the opposite result.
® Amy Postle
Shoot in Black & White
Black and white strips away any and all distractions in the image (background clutter, clashing colors, etc) and really brings the focus to you. It is classic, timeless, and always beautiful.
® Amy Postle
Make the location special
Shoot in the soon to be nursery, even if it isn't finished. This will be of special significance to you every time you view the photos. Another great option is your bedroom- the key is to shoot somewhere that you feel comfortable, relaxed and happy.
® Amy Postle
Consider the lighting
Position yourself near a window and turn off your flash. Window light provides beautiful natural light and helps you avoid the harsh light from a flash indoors. If you feel that you need additional light- bring in a lamp. Just keep in mind that different types of light bulbs will cause different color shifts in the photo- typical household light bulbs will cause a very warm shift which can be beautiful, but if you don't want that look, try shooting in black & white.
® Amy Postle
Wait as long as possible for the final shoot
The larger your belly, the more there will be to photograph! I typically suggest no sooner than 7 months, and if possible, within weeks of your due date. The bigger the better!
® Amy Postle
A few photo suggestions
A few shots that I always suggest are: one 3/4 length shot of yourself, meaning from your knees to just above your head, one a bit tighter- from the bottom of belly to top of your head, and one of just your belly. Shoot them all with your profile to the camera. Also, be adventurous and try different angels, sitting, standing, even lying on your side; however, if you're short on time- these are the three key shots to get.
® Amy Postle
Be creative!!
Embrace your curvy silhouette! Try shooting your profile while you are backlit against a window. Make sure your flash is off. You'll find a fun way to achieve the artistic and retro effect of silhouetting.
® Amy Postle
Don't be nervous
There is no right or wrong. Play some relaxing music and remove any distractions or extra people from the room. Create a serene environment where you can look at your belly, connect with your baby, and really embrace the joy of the moment. Avoid looking into the lens and smiling for every photo. Remember things do not have to be perfect! Relax, take a deep breath, and just be you! The more your personality is able to come thru, the more meaningful and personal the photographs will be. Make it fun- laughing and smiling naturally add to the photographs and the experience of taking them.

The most-discussed catalyst for gold's rise yesterday — the biggest single-day gain since June 19 — is Russia: Specifically the fresh worries of an invasion of Ukraine. You've also got fresh trouble in Syria and utter chaos in Iraq.
But investors who expect all this grimness to benefit their gold positions may be a bit surprised, even disappointed. Certainly that's the gist from MKM Partners technician Jonathan Krimsky, who writes this morning:
We continue to have a bullish bias for gold, but it has been testing our patience lately. Given the recent geo-political events, the fact that gold cannot breakout has certainly been frustrating. Part of this can be attributed to the strength in the US Dollar (+2% from July lows), but perhaps the price action it is simply telling us it's not yet ready for the big breakout?
Commerzbank's strategists point to one potential limiting factor, which is weaker emerging markets demand:
In the short term, gold in particular should remain well-supported by the geopolitical risks, though continued weak physical demand is likely to weigh on prices. Following subdued gold demand in China and India, Turkey also reported weak import figures yesterday: in July, gold imports declined to just 1.5 tons, putting them at their lowest level since February. Compare this to the month before, when 24.3 tons of gold were imported.
While we're at it, let's note that the inability of gold to move appreciably beyond $1,300 or so comes in spite of the number of investors mindful of an entirely different subject — seasonal price patterns.
Here's a chart from the blog Market Oracle. And here's a clockwatcher writing last month in Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper:
The period of seasonal strength for gold bullion has finally arrived. The average optimal time to invest in gold bullion for a seasonal trade is from July 12 to October 9. Gold bullion has gained an average of 3.63 per cent during the past 29 periods, outperforming the S&P 500 Index by 4.98 per cent. The trade has been particularly profitable in recent history, gaining in 14 of the past 17 periods for an average return of 5.44 per cent.
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is ahead by 0.2% in early Thursday trading, and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) is about glat. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is down 0.2% while leveraged trading tools Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) are moving about half a percentage point apiece.

UPDATE: Marmaduke replied! You can read his answers to your questions here.
You may have seen the comic strip, Marmaduke, in your Sunday newspaper. It was started in 1954 by Brad Anderson, and has been running ever since with help from different cartoonists. It's about an ENORMOUS Great Dane named Marmaduke, who basically drives his family crazy with his antics. Here is an example from the comic:
What I love about these comics is that you can totally imagine what Marmaduke is thinking. Like in this one, I imagine he is thinking, "Ooh bubbles! Fun!!"
On June 4, Marmaduke the movie will be coming to theaters — not a comic version, but a live action movie with a real dog. And in the movie you can actually hear Marmaduke's thoughts in his head. So to get you psyched for the movie, the writers have offered to answer your questions for Marmaduke. Now is your chance to ask that crazy dog what it's like to star in a movie about his life. . . why he acts so crazy all the time. . . what is his favorite thing to do. . .or anything else you want to know!
Write your questions for Marmaduke in the Comments and then come back on June 4 for the answers.

A senior Hamas official and Egypt's president say they believe a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas could happen soon. Israel's prime minister said his country would be a "willing partner" to a deal. (Nov. 20)
JERUSALEM -- Western diplomats arrived in the Middle East to try to push forward cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas that might lead to a long-term peace as fighting raged on both sides of the border.
Israeli tanks and gunboats pummeled targets in Gaza in what appeared to be a last-minute burst of fire, while at least 200 rockets were fired into Israel. As talks dragged on near midnight, Israeli and Hamas officials, communicating through Egyptian mediators, expressed hope that a deal would soon be reached, but cautioned that it was far from certain.
"The rocket attacks from terrorist organizations inside Gaza on Israeli cities and towns must end," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Tel Aviv.
Clinton expressed sorrow for the heavy loss of life on both sides, but called for the Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel to end and stressed that the American commitment to Israel's security is "rock solid."
"The goal must be a durable outcome that promotes regional stability and advances the security and legitimate aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians alike," said Clinton, who was scheduled to meet with Palestinian officials in the West Bank and Egyptian leaders in Cairo.
Hamas had said Tuesday that a truce had been reached but Israel responded that it had yet to agree. Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said Israeli military operations would continue at the same time as diplomatic talks until Hamas stopped firing rockets.
But Hamas' top military commander, Mohammed Deif, urged Hamas to keep up the attacks on Israel. He spoke on Hamas-run TV and radio from hiding.
Earlier in the day, Egypt's Mohamed Morsi said a cease-fire agreement was close to stopping "Israeli aggression" despite the firing of more rockets at Israel on Tuesday, including one toward Jerusalem that exploded outside the city.
There was no let-up in terror attacks against Israel, as dozens of rockets were fired in the morning at southern Israeli towns and one streaked near Jerusalem. People ran for safety or dropped to the ground in the Israeli capital as the sirens wailed.
Parents "abandoned their cars in the middle of the street and ran with their children," said Uriel Laloum, school security guard at the Efrata Elementary School.
"The younger children were especially upset," said Laloum of the school, which was crowded with people attending parent-teacher conferences. "Many were crying."
Several rockets fired from Gaza landed not in Israel but in the territory of the West Bank, near Bethlehem, where Palestinians live. One landed between two Arab villages near Gush Etzion, 15 minutes' drive south of Jerusalem.
Some Palestinians in East Jerusalem were worried.
"We hope that something will happen soon," said Samir Abu Khalaf, a resident of Beit Hanina. "Everybody, the people here in East Jerusalem, they don't like to make problems and we are concerned for our children.
"We want a solution immediately," he said. "Morsi has to push Hamas and Israel."
But some were pleased by the Hamas bombing.
"We don't call them rockets. We call them fireworks," said Hesham Murrar, 22. "That's all they are compared to what Israel has."
The Israeli Defense Forces said 48 rockets fired from Gaza on Tuesday landed inside Israel as of 5 p.m. local time, on top of 51 rockets that were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome system. More than 1,000 rockets had been fired at Israel from Gaza since the barrage began 10 days ago.
Israeli aircraft flew more attack missions to stop the rockets and hit terrorists and their facilities. The jets pounded the headquarters of a Hamas bank, and hit a media center for the second day, killing Yunis Shaluf, a terrorist who has orchestrated an attack on Eliat, the IDF said.
The rocket aimed at Jerusalem apparently did not strike the city. It's the second rocket attack aimed at Jerusalem since a round of fighting broke out between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza last Wednesday. Jerusalem, nearly 50 miles from Gaza, is the most distant city the terrorists have targeted.
FULL COVERAGE: Latest developments on Israel-Gaza conflict
In Gaza City, meanwhile, the Israeli strike on the Islamic National Bank was part of an escalating Israeli assault against Gaza terrorists meant to quell rocket attacks on Israeli cities. The bank was set up to evade international sanctions on its rule.
Hamas leaders said during cease-fire talks that they would not end the rocket attacks unless Israel ended a blockade of Gaza borders that it maintains to keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists.
The standoff was being discussed in Cairo where diplomats from Egypt and Turkey were in talks with Hamas about a cease-fire. An Israeli official was in Cairo, but the Israeli government would not comment.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, who is in Cairo on an emergency mission to negotiate a truce, said that the situation was "alarming."
"This must stop, immediate steps are needed to avoid further escalation, including a ground operation," Ban said from Cairo. "Both sides must hold fire immediately. … Further escalation of the situation could put the entire region at risk."
After greetting Clinton, Netanyahu said Israel was "trying to resist and counter a terrorist barrage which is aimed directly at our civilians."
"Now, if there is a possibility of achieving a long-term solution to this problem through diplomatic means, we prefer that," he said. "But if not ... Israel will have to take whatever action is necessary to defend its people.
"I know that President Obama ... and the American people understand that perfectly well."
The leader of Hamas rejected Israel's demands to stop rocket fire. "We don't accept Israeli conditions because it is the aggressor," Khaled Mashaal said in Egypt.
CLINTON'S TRIP: Marks Obama's most forceful engagement in conflict
Palestinians said 113 Gazans had been killed since Israeli airstrikes began last Wednesday in response to the launching of nearly 200 rockets against Israeli towns. Most were combatants, but close to half were not, the Palestinians said.
Israel has said that Hamas bears responsibility for the deaths of civilians because terrorists are using civilians as shields, placing missile launchers and terrorist operations in residential neighborhoods.
Israel said if the rockets continue, it would have to launch a ground invasion to stop them. Some analysts say such a course carries a risk for Israel.
"I think for Hamas the risk of a ground invasion is that they basically get dominated on the battlefield and that is likely what would happen," said Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington.
"But on the Israeli side there is some real risk, too. The longer (Netanyahu) stays in this war, the greater the possibility that something goes wrong… unwelcome civilian casualties could potentially hurt him."
One of the Israeli airstrikes Monday hit a Hamas television building that had been struck previously over the weekend, killing four members of Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group that is backed by Iran, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced. The four targeted terrorists were involved in the launching of long-range Iran-made rockets that the IDF said had been smuggled into Gaza from Egypt.
The Fajr-5 rockets have a much wider range than other rockets of Hamas and can reach almost anywhere in Israel. It is those missiles that Israel has been targeting and hoping to destroy, according to the IDF.
Israel has also been attacking homes of Hamas leaders and terrorists, it said. In Gaza, some people were moving deeper into the territory to try and avoid Israeli airstrikes. Power outages were lasting 10 hours a day.
Panic spread through Gaza City on Tuesday evening after Israel Defense Forces dropped leaflets on the north of the city warning residents to evacuate.
"When we left our office we saw a lot of traffic and couldn't find a taxi to get home because people were busy evacuating their families using any transport possible," said Sukrit Kapoor, a lawyer with the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza City, which had evacuated its offices.
Thousands of Israeli troops and armored vehicles were massed along the Gaza border awaiting orders. Leaders of Hamas, the U.S. designated terrorist group the rules Gaza, exhorted its members to keep firing rockets.
Kapoor said some Gazans would rather see a cease-fire.
"They are very much hopeful for it, and very much want that to happen but right now it is difficult to be assured," he said. "A lot of people were displaced today so they are not very convinced that a cease-fire is close."
Others Gazans said they wanted to keep up the attacks against Israel even it meant more dead in Gaza, where Israeli airstrikes have targeted militants orchestrating the attacks.
Israeli strikes destroyed Abdullah Ashour's home, killed one of his sons and seriously injured another.
"The Israelis not capable of targeting the resistance, that's why they keep on targeting the normal civilians," said Ashour. "I'm willing to give up my other five sons for the sake of the cause."
In Ashkelon in southern Israel "Code Red" sirens sounded throughout Monday in cities, towns and open areas.
Even though the Iron Dome defense system intercepted most of the projectiles, there were several direct hits on buildings and yards. A handful of people were injured and many were dealing with shock from the constant blasts, said Benny Vaknin, mayor of Ashkelon.
The mayor spoke while looking over damage to Henry Ronson High School in Ashkelon, where a Hamas-fired rocket had scored a direct hit, bursting through the cement roof of a school walkway.The rocket did not explode and the school was empty at the time.
"The difference between our operation and that of Hamas is that they aim to hit schools and areas crowded with civilians," Vaknin said.
Alerts and air raid sirens were heard throughout the day in Israel's south from Beer Sheva and Sderot all the way up to Ashdod and beyond. There were two rocket interceptions near Tel Aviv.
Any cease-fire deal would draw mixed reviews from the Israeli towns and villages that have been the target of Hamas rockets.
Israelis are solidly behind the military action. Six days into the aerial attack on Gaza, 84% of the Israeli public said it supports so-called Operation Pillar of Defense, according to a Haaretz-Dialog poll taken Sunday.
Mervyn Poliak, a 64-year-old resident of Kfar Azza, said he's often felt helpless in the face of a decade of rocket fire and wants the army to invade and take care of Hamas once and for all.
"I've felt the government has left us to be sitting ducks here," he said. The international community "must let the Israeli government do its job.
"If Mexico or Canada was rocketing the US, the American government would have gone in long ago," he said. "When my enemy places its weapons next to a mosque or a school, how can they not expect people to get hurt?"
In Beer Sheva, most of the city's 200,000 residents took shelter in secure rooms, if they had them, or bomb shelters. Hundreds of regular soldiers and reservists waited at Beer Sheva's Central Bus Station for transport to the Gaza border some 25 miles away.
The mostly young men and women in uniform (women are also drafted in Israel) said they were trying to stay upbeat.
"I need to go and help my country any way I can," said Naftali Kassa, 27, a driver in civilian life. His rumpled uniform, taken out of storage, and gray sneakers identified him as a reservist.
Ehud Zion-Waldoks, a university spokesman who moved from Jerusalem to Be'er Sheva four months ago, decided to temporarily relocate his wife and three young children from harms ways. Zion Waldoks returned to Beer Sheva for work this morning, after which five sirens wailed.
"For one siren there were four booms, one of which shook the house," he said. "I feel safe in my house because we have an actual bomb shelter off the kitchen. I don't feel safe outside, going to and from work. My wife, who can't work on her doctorate due to the situation, and kids are now in Jerusalem."
He said his 5-year-old daughter was "a little upset" when a siren sounded in Jerusalem "after we'd told her the rockets couldn't reach there."
Right now he and his wife "take it day by day. We assess every evening what will be done. I don't' know whether this – either not being at home or being at home with five sirens a day – is possible long term."
In Ashkelon in southern Israel, Mayor Benny Vaknin looked over damage to Henry Ronson High School, where a rocket burst through a cement roof.
"The difference between our operation and that of Hamas is that they aim to hit schools and areas crowded with civilians," Vaknin said.

As LNG facilities around the world become more common, it is important that any individual who may be responsible for Risk Analysis, Hazard Identification, design or implementation of incident mitigation systems or incident response at such may be familiar with correct tactics for normal hydrocarbon fuels, the special characteristics of LNG mean that different strategies might be required.
This workshop describes the hazardous properties of LNG and the potential scenarios that can occur along with possible mitigation strategies. Therefore those responsible for developing incident response strategies who attend the workshop can make strategy decisions on a more knowledgeable basis.
The theory is supported by practical demonstrations for delegates to experience first hand the special characteristics and behavior of LNG.

Fever to Play in 2014
At 11:12 Sunday night, team owner Teri Carr sent out an email to the media announcing her intention to play in 2014. The future of the team had been in limbo for a week after Carr announced she and her family could not sustain substantial losses again next season.
Below is a portion of the email Carr sent out:
What is clear is that we can't close the doors after receiving the input and suggestion from so many. We need to know that we have tried everything we can and that means taking the input seriously and applying it. We asked for input, we received it and now we need to use it.
The consistent comment we received from those that have not been to a game or have been to only one or two is that the ticket prices need to be more affordable. They need to be affordable for a family to be able to attend more than one a season.
We also received input about promotions and other in game experiences that fans would like to see.
As a result we will be lowering ticket prices across the board, lowering merchandise prices, and bundle concession/ticket packages. While this may initially seem like a bigger loss, if it brings in the number of fans that we need it will be successful.
We will not just count on lower ticket prices to make the difference, many of the ideas, suggestions and comments that we received can be used and were enlightening.
I wish to thank those that took the time to send in their comments, support and suggestions. It is because of those that the Fever will once again be on the field in 2014.

Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray, Simon Zebo and Ronan O'Gara are all included in the Munster squad for the clash with Ulster.
Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray, Simon Zebo and Ronan O'Gara are all included in the Munster squad for the RaboDirect PRO12 clash with Ulster.
But while O'Mahony, Murray and Zebo start, O'Gara is named on the bench with Ian Keatley retaining the number 10 jersey though this time he'll start alongside Murray in place of Peter Stringer whose late intervention in that Connacht game prevented the match winning score.
There's a return from injury for Damian Varley and Felix Jones (bench) while Donncha O'Callaghan and Billy Holland are the only combination up front who remain intact from a week ago in a game that sees Denis Hurley win his 100th Munster cap.
Meanwhile, Mark Anscombe has made eleven changes to the starting XV for Ulster's trip to Thomond Park.
Only Craig Gilroy and Luke Marshall in the backs, and Neil McComb and Robbie Diack in the forwards, are retained from the team which beat Leinster 27-19 last Friday night.
Despite resting a number of players and having a large contingent involved in an Ireland training camp in Dublin this weekend, Ulster are able to field an all Irish-qualified match day squad.
Adam D'Arcy will make his first start of the season at fullback and will be joined in the back three by speedy youngsters Chris Cochrane and Gilroy. Michael Allen will partner Luke Marshall in midfield, with Paul Marshall and Niall O'Connor forming a new half back combination.
Up front, Callum Black, Rob Herring and Adam Macklin make up an all new front row, while Lewis Stevenson has returned from an eight week injury lay off to partner McComb in the engine room. Roger Wilson will captain the team from number 8 and he will be ably assisted in the back row by Mike McComish and Diack.
Form: Munster's only defeat in their last five RaboDirect PRO12 fixtures was 6-13 to Scarlets at Musgrave Park on 25 November. The Munstermen's solitary loss at Thomond Park in this tournament since October 2011 came at the hands of Leinster in March. Ulster have now equalled Leinster's best ever start to a PRO12 season with eleven straight victories, and have won all eight away games they have played in all competitions this season. The Ulstermen have won all three games against fellow Irish provinces this season, but so far all those encounters have been at Ravenhill. The last four meetings between the two sides in the RaboDirect PRO12 have all been won by the home side on the day, while Ulster have not won at Thomond Park in the competition since 2009, although they did of course triumph there in last season's European Cup quarter-final.
Munster: 15 Denis Hurley, 14 Doug Howlett (c), 13 Casey Laulala, 12 James Downey, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ian Keatley, 9 Conor Murray, 8 Paddy Butler, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 Peter O'Mahony, 5 Billy Holland, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Damian Varley, 1 Wian du Preez.
Replacements: 16 Mike Sherry, 17 Marcus Horan, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Dave O'Callaghan, 20 James Coughlan, 21 Peter Stringer, 22 Ronan O'Gara, 23 Felix Jones.
Ulster: 15 Adam D'Arcy, 14 Chris Cochrane, 13 Michael Allen, 12 Luke Marshall, 11 Craig Gilroy, 10 Niall O'Connor, 9 Paul Marshall, 8 Roger Wilson , 7 Mike McCormish, 6 Robbie Diack, 5 Neil McComb, 4 Louis Stevenson, 3 Adam Macklin, 2 Rob Herring, 1 Callum Black.
Replacements: 16 Niall Annett, 17 Ricky Lutton , 18 Tom Court, 19 Alan O'Connor, 20 Ali Birch, 21 Michael Heaney, 22 Stuart Olding, 23 Ricky Andrew.
Date: Saturday, December 29

"I usually don't buy Nike's because I find them to be way too narrow. This shoe is perfect. It doesn't pinch my toes the way the other Nike's do. I recommend this shoe for anyone who has shied away from Nike due to past problems with their shoes being too narrow. Finally a Nike I can wear!"

The Hunt is Over!
"I first noticed these shoes about 3 months ago at a sporting goods store. But it was a 1/2 size too small. So, I started hunting for my size and there they were, on dsw.com. I was too excited to order and receive them. I decided to order a 1/2 size larger to account for socks. So glad I did because they run slightly shorter then some. This are one of the most comfortable athletic shoes I've wore in a long time. So glad DSW had them!"

"Looove these boots! so beautiful, got a lot of stares ;)I wore them around campus, and they were fairly comfortable to walk in. I'm a size 9 and it was true to size with some extra space - but I wouldn't say it was too much to have to size down.They have been squeaking for me when I walk, idk if that can be fixed, but it doesn't really bother me. They seem like they may crease easily so it is best to keep the wrapping paper that comes inside of it. My white socks have black streaks on them from the inside, but it can probably come off in the wash. Umm, other than that I love these shoes and I think they are a pretty rad buy!"

"I love these. Saw them in the store and had to have them. They have a Doc Marten feel, but not as bulky or heavy (or expensive!!). They also seem like they could double as rain boots! So punk rock. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because I'm sure I'll need to break them in some before they become super comfortable, but that's usually how it goes with new boots. A+!"

Watch a Day at the Beach on Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula
At 31,700 miles, Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, and the third largest by volume, engaging beachcombers, thrilling fishermen and challenging mariners.
The lake contains three quadrillion (3,000,000,000,000,000) gallons of water, ten percent of the world's fresh surface water and over half of the water in the Great Lakes. Although the water is cold, it is also clear, attracting SCUBA divers from all over the world to dive shipwrecks, five of which are favorite dive sites.
Any time of year, the Lake Superior basin is a spectacular place to visit. Summer on this big lake offers a respite from hotter climates since a cool breeze almost always seems to come off the water. Sometimes foggy and damp in the fall and downright windy in November gales, the lake and the environment around it are ever-changing.
Lake Superior is still almost synonymous with "wild," since there is so much undeveloped waterfront, so many acres of undisturbed forest and still, a plethora of wildlife species that thrive in a landscape that somehow still feels undiscovered.
Heading to the Upper Peninsula? Here are some ideas!

"Been a long time fan of Bally for their workmanship, style and comfort. Order these after looking high & low for a cute pair of white strappy sandals without looking "grandma-ish" and these delivered. I ordered in a slight larger size (1/2 size larger) than usual since I like a little extra room with strappy shoes as they can sometimes be constrictive as they are worn (as your feet swell the more you're on them). and these fit the bill perfectly."

GIGI Azulene Wax 13 oz.
- Overview
- Features
- Formulated with soothing Azulene Oil, renowned for its skin calming properties.
- Balanced, gentle aromatic blend is pleasing to the senses and perfect for all skin types.
- For use with GiGi Natural Muslin, Bleached Muslin or Cloth Epilating Strips.
- About the brand
GIGI Azulene Wax 13 oz., is renowned for its skin calming properties.
Created by beauty expert Ligia "GiGi" Colombo, GiGi professional hair removal systems have been revolutionizing waxing and skin care for over 30 years. The GiGi collection includes microwave waxes, shave gel, bleaching creams, depilatories and everything else you need to keep your skin bare.
Best I've Tried!This blue goo is amazing! I've been in situations where I've tried waxing that either (a) burnt my skin and left painful blisters, (b) became an overall ADHESIVE to my skin and didn't want to let go, or (c) turned my skin beet red for three days. After trying Azulene, I found it to be (surprisingly) soothing and it was actually comfortable. When I first purchased this wax, it was the night before a big dance at my high school and I was NOT interested in looking like a tomato upon arrival. Thankfully, that never happened. It was an easy application, and it was an easy removal. Little pain. Little redness. I HIGHLY recommend this wax to everyone who wants a less painful experience in waxing (i.e. "first timer's", young adults, etc.) I won't EVER go back to any other wax!Mar 14, 2014Mariah / Little Town, Virginia

Just So's Ya Know---the Stars Are Because They Made Me. This Is A Positive Comment.Azulene oil is what has made every one of my home wax attempts less painful, immediately upon application. I can only imagine that having Azulene in the wax itself would be even better. I look forward to-really- applying my hunch once i purchase the Azulene wax from GiGi, but in the meantime, I have to give a thumbs up to the Azulene property itself. Anything that makes the hair .......down there....less furry and less painful to get that way, woohoo! Fingers crossed, truly review coming shortly, hopefully.

Best Wax!I have tried quite a few different types of wax and this is by far the best I have found. It does actually decrease the discomfort of waxing (a little it does not work miracles) and it does a very good job of getting the fine hairs. It also comes off easily (I have had some I swear that bonded with my skin).Apr 29, 2012Jennifer

My Favorite WaxI had my doubts about this blue goo. However, a visit to well-reputed waxing salon in New York City changed my mind. They used azulene for my Brazilian and I have to say it was the easiest, most pleasant wax I've ever received. The hair comes off with the wax with just one attempt whereas with the harder wax, sometimes you rip and find the wax, hair and part of the strip still on your skin.Ouch! Also,this came off more easily. There was very little residue left over so I didn't suffer the uncomfortable post-wax stickiness.
Part of this amazing wax experience of course was due to the skill of the practitioner. Still, I had to try it at home on my legs see if it worked just as well and was just as painless. I have no idea why but azulene has been the easiest, least messy, least sticky and yet most effective wax I've used. The consistency (when properly warmed) is perfect (when properly warmed) - just thick enough to stick to hair and thin enough to apply thin layers easily. I now look for this wax before any other.Dec 12, 2011Karima M. / Yonkers, New YorkHAIR TYPEBlack / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
"Spartans drown the Dinos" is the headline wanted by the Emery High swim team after they defeated the Carbon Dinos in a dual meet last week in Castle Dale. This wasn't so much of a headline about the Dinos as it was a headline about the Spartans.
For the first time in the existence of swimming at Emery High, the Spartans finally won a dual meet over a fully staffed opponent and this is reason to celebrate how far this program has come is such a short time. Kudos need to be given to the coaches and the swimmers as they have each worked long and hard to excel in this very difficult sport.
Although Carbon won 12 events and Emery winning only 10 events, the Spartans had enough team depth to win the meet by the narrowest of margins.
The Emery boys defeated Carbon 129-127 while the Emery girls defeated Carbon 137-133. Final team score was 266 for Emery and 260 for Carbon. So while the "drowning" wasn't a shellacking, it was a victory and even by the smallest of margins, a win is still a win.
Emery had three double winners on the day and the Dinos had two. Lance Riche, Carbon, won the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard freestyle. Riche was also a member of the winning 200-yard medley relay team and the winning 400-yard freestyle relay team. Brent Keller won the 100-yard butterfly and the 500-yard freestyle. Keller was also on the winning 200-yard medley relay team and the 400-yard freestyle relay team.
Eli Oliverson, Jessica Guymon and Hailee Rogers all won two events for Emery. Eli won the 100-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard freestyle. Jessica won the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard breaststroke. Hailee won the 200-yard IM and the 100-yard freestyle. Both girls were also on the winning 200-yard medley relay team.
Also winning for Emery were Weston Allinson in the 200-yard IM, Tanner Petersen in the girls 100-yard backstroke and Laryssa Guymon in the 100-yard butterfly.
Also winning for Carbon were Jill Malone in the 200-yard freestyle, Dakota Powell in the boys 50-yard freestyle and Aysha Black in the girls 500-yard freestyle. Carbon won five of six relay events.
Here are the participants on the winning relay teams. Emery won the 200-yard medley with Jessica Guymon, Tanner Petersen, Hailee Rogers and Laryssa Guymon.
Carbon won the boy's 200-yard medley with Lance Riche, Thory VanDyke, Dakota Powell and Brent Keller.Carbon won the girls 200-yard freestyle with Heidi Prettyman, Tati Larsen, Erica Mantz and Brittney Willson. Carbon won the boys 200-yard freestyle with Dylan Jarrett, Zach Prettyman, Thory VanDyke and Joel Garff. Carbon won the girls 400-yard freestyle with Paula Gibson, Aysha Black, Lauren Engar and Brittney Willson. Carbon won the boy's 400-yard freestyle with Brent Keller, Lance Riche, Joel Garff and Dakota Powell.

The most famous Scottish glen is also one of its most dramatic, with forbidding mountains, thundering waterfalls and sparkling lochs. Internationally famous for its amazing landscape, its natural and cultural heritage; the scenery of Glencoe has been fashioned by millions of years of geological and geomorphologic processes is now regarded as some of the finest 'wild' landscape in Scotland.
The drama is also reflected in Glencoe's history, both real and imagined – myths, massacre and movies are all now part of the fabric of this magical, mysterious place.
Walkers and climbers are drawn from all over the world to tackle its many mountaineering routes, including eight Munros, while animal-lovers come to catch a glimpse of Scottish wildlife including red deer, golden eagles and pine martens.
Before you explore, find out more about the landscape, history and wildlife at the award-winning Glencoe Visitor Centre. Including exhibition, viewing platform, cafe, shop and ranger information point.
Conservation work at Glencoe includes habitat and visitor management, footpath erosion work, species surveying and monitoring, and maintaining the iconic 'wild land' qualities of this landscape.
Eight of the Trust's 46 Munros can be found at Glencoe & Dalness (What is a Munro?).
Please remember how dangerous and difficult conditions can be in Glencoe and other mountainous places. We urge anyone considering going climbing or walking at any time, but especially in wintertime, to pay a visit to the The Mountaineering Council of Scotland website to find out more about mountaineering and hillwalking in Scotland.
You can also check in at the Glencoe Visitor Centre, where the Glencoe Ranger Service issue copies of daily weather reports from the Mountain Weather Information Service, and during the winter, daily avalanche reports from the Scottish Avalanche Information Service.
Glencoe Guidebook
With towering mountains sweeping down on both sides, Glencoe is at once spectacularly beautiful and yet strangely forbidding. Glencoe is also the cradle of Scottish mountaineering and the area provides some of the finest climbing and walking in the …

By COMMISSIONER DREW SITTERUD, FerronCOMMISSIONER IRA HATCH, Huntington
Recently, members of the Republican party received an invitation to attend a community lunch in honor of Gary Herbert who is running for governor.
The letter was somewhat misleading. Commissioner Drew Sitterud and Commissioner Ira Hatch were in support of Mr. Herbert coming to the county and meeting the citizens of Emery County, but the letter was not an endorsement of Mr. Herbert's candidacy.

What's interesting is that Yamamoto implied that once Fach's sword was destroyed, he wouldn't be able to recreate it (at least not in the same battle). It is quite interesting, because this means that their better weapons are crafted by the user that pours his reiatsu on it through days, weeks, month or years, in similar fashion how Ishida was able to create a stable, solid bow from the glove thanks to his training. It was shown that when he first started training with the glove, he wasn't able to pull out the solid form, but after training it day and night, it finally gained a proper form. Ryuken, Uryu, the Stern Ritters have showed that they are able to create a more solid weapons, for now it wasn't revealed if they have their own blacksmiths (Ryuken himself was able to create Soul Cutter-arrow, but it is unknown how), or if they polish their weapons with their own energy until those gain proper forms.
Byakuya didn't recognize GT, but it's likely that no many people would recognize WE either, since in this case it was a final technique of the Noble Kuchiki Clan that needs to be mastered in order to become the new Clan Head. Assuming that Byakuya's bankai hasn't returned, he might be teaching it to Rukia (beside Bankai of course), since it seems to be the strongest technique he posses, quite similar to FGT, since both of them uses all the energy for one attack (though FGT is way more extreme).
The name fits very well with what the Shiba clan does - taking care of transport for the RG, by literally piercing the heavens with a fang (pillar).
So, is Ishin an unlicensed doctor, or did Urahara prepare a fake license for him ?

Back to Basics - Java File Downloader
Back in the earlier days, our site used a Java applet based file downloader. Since almost all of the visitors back then were using Windows, it later transitioned to a windows only application. However, it is evident that both Mac and Linux users have grown considerably since then. As a result, the site is once again using a file downloader based on Java. The beauty of Java is that it is operating system independent, and as long you have Sun's Java Machine, the program should work.
The downloader is still very much in its early stages, and I plan to again add some sort of queuing system. If anything, I would like to add it to the album downloads so that it's simply a single click to get every single track.
If anyone is experiencing any difficulties or have any suggestions, please leave a comment in this thread.

**EXPIRED** PS3 Owners: Free Ragdoll Kungfu Game
It has come to my attention that the US PSN store (sponsored by Sprint) is giving away free full versions of Ragdoll Kungfu: Fist of Plastic. This is might be old news for some folks since this is a week long promotion, and ends in just two days (5/21). It kind of looks like a hybrid of Little Big Planet and Smash Brawl.
If you don't live in the US, you will need to create a new PSN account with a US address to get access the the US PSN store.

In addition to that, all the Game IDs are accumulated into one long string which can be copied and pasted into our file downloader.

GP: Calling for Suggestions + EarthBound 2 Translation
I feel that GP needs to expand its scope into the next generation, and I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions. Let it be updates on current game releases or as impossible as including ps3 emulation (atleast at this time) - I would love to hear what you have to say.
In other news, I'm sure we have some EarthBounds fans visiting this site. As a fan, I'm sure you also remember how frustrated you were when they announced that MOTHER 3/EarthBound 2 was not going to be ported to the US. Well, that tormenting feeling can finally be alleviated. A group of fans has finished translating the game and has released their goodness. A spoiler filled video can be found below, and the translation patch can be found at their website:

Books, Advice, Where To Start.
Posted 28 July 2010 - 04:17 AM
I'm more lost then ever. I really just need to start with the basics because what I have now is a smattering of information but no way to apply it.
Why does one fire? I thought it was to cook the clay, but now I understand that you dry the clay first, then fire it. <-- an example of the basics that I would like to know.
I was thinking of building my own kiln but after reading "Homemade Kiln Plans", I was inspired. Firing from a grill??? That thought did cross my mind... Found a few electric kilns
on craigslist that I will attempt to convert to gas powered ($40! Bad cord, so it's perfect!)
Anyway, I'm no longer sure where this post is going, but I had a purpose in mind, I really did. So any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Clay is addictive and there are no limits to what you can do.
The reason we fire the clay is to turn it from a unstable crumbly substance into a
hard permanent ceramic. It becomes an item you can eat from, put in a dishwasher,
leave outside in all weathers or put in a shower to protect walls or to wash your hands in.
We fire to different temperatures depending on the type of clay we are using.
We choose clays for color, texture, workability and end use.
We glaze it and color it.
Don't even think of spending money until you get to the library and check out some books.
Most have sections on clay and pottery and there are lots of good books.
Your towns rec centers might offer clay beginners courses.
The last thing you need to do is to start with the kiln ... You don't even know what you
want to do yet ... It would be a shame to waste all the effort only to find out something
else interests you more.

I remember reading the intro books....the "Intro's to Pottery" that you find at the bookstore or on here with a discount if you are a member, Robin Hopper's collection was invaluable in learning a design aesthetic, and get the dictonary of pottery terms, the Pottery Making Illustrated, Clay Times, and Ceramics Monthly - back issues or current and read every chance you can. I would read every morning, sometimes the same chapters over and over, before I hit the studio. I would also check-out YouTube videos by doing searches (i.e. faceting, paper clay, handbuilding) and then immediately practice what I saw...over and over. All of this helped while I was studying with every available potter and class and workshop that fit my goal (even though my goal was a generic "learn clay.")
And following the firing process, the drying and the entire process from start to finish will help you. I really think a structured studio will unlock the missing links in your understanding.
Best wishes....it is a fun and creatively-exploding world of clay. The amount of knowledge is neverending...and that is what makes it so, so much fun!

However, there are sculptures about, so somebody has to know something.
So tomorrow when I finish up at the gallery I'm heading to the library, seems they don't have much from an internet search, but I'm sure I can find something.
Anyway, I got a little ahead of myself. I always jump in head first and never look back. I'll just have to slow down and do some research first.
So I assume self drying clay then, has some sort of property that allows it to become stable without firing. Well at least now I know why one fires the
clay. I guess I'll have to look up the chemical reaction of clay when being fired - I'm just to curious about it and want to know exactly what happens.

It is all of the clayart discussions sorted by subject.
You might even want to join clayart ... it is a clay listserv with participation from
potters all over the world. There is a quick link on the right side of the PC page.
I recommend getting it in the daily digest if you don't want your mailbox deluged with
100 e-mails a day.

We recently bought our home. It is aproximately 55-60 years old. I call it clay, but it may be cast iron pipe. Our toilet plugged one day, we ran a 50' electric drain snake down the main line under the house. We ended up digging up and making visible the pipe line that goes to the cities line. Now we have standing waste water in our back yard from the exposed pipe. WHY? Why won't the water drain? Yes there is a small whole from which it comes out when we shower or flush. But why won't it drain back into itself? It has to be draing somewhat, otherwise the back yard would be completely flooded with waste water. We dug this line up so as to replace it, but now we aren't sure how to proceed. Do we really need too? Do we just break a section and run a snake down at that point to see if there is another obstruction? Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We have to do this ourselves, there is no money to call a plumber at this time. And this is not something we can just let go unattended.

Mule deer numbers have slowly been declining in the west since the times when our fathers and grandfathers hunted. There are many factors that have changed over the past 50 years such as: oil and gas development, grazing management, wildfire suppression, urban encroachment, invasive plants, and aspen and sagebrush decline to name a few. All of these factors that affect mule deer have one thing in common, a decline in habitat quality and quantity.
The amount of food for browsing ungulates, like mule deer, has declined due to a change in plant communities. Many areas that were once dominated by shrubs like sagebrush have been converted to pinyon/juniper forests. Pinyon/juniper forests slowly out-compete forage for mule deer and become a monoculture of trees with nothing growing in the understory.
Our rangelands have changed drastically over the last century. Desirable forage on summer and winter range has lost the ability to produce the same amount of food for deer and in some cases the desirable foods cannot grow due to competition with plants that deer do not eat. In a majority of Utah and the southeast region fawn/doe ratios are low, just enough to maintain a population. There are cases where fawn/doe ratios are high like, the Henry Mountains. The Henry Mountains had a very large fire in 2003, the fire burnt from the winter range to the summer range. After a couple of years the plant communities have recovered and nutrition is at a surplus for deer unlike before the fire. The deer herd was very low before the fire and it allowed the plants to recover without being over-browsed severely and inhibiting full recovery of the plants. The plants that came back were young, had more nutrition and the plants were bigger than old plants. This allows does to gain more weight, before and during pregnancy, allowing for bigger stronger fawns.
In the fall of 2012 Utah Division of Wildlife Resources hired a crew of chainsaw operators to cut 2,233 acres of pinyon and juniper trees north of Huntington in the Poison Springs Bench area, The area had re-grown with pinyon and juniper trees since the area had originally been chained or as some say railed many decades ago. There was still sagebrush, grasses and wildflowers growing within the trees. Since there was still a very good understory, UDWR decided that by cutting the pinyon and juniper trees out of these areas that deer and elk use during the winter the area would maintain and not lose any value to the animals that rely on this area for food and shelter in the winter months.
Mule deer thrive in early to mid-aged plant communities. Mother Nature used to do this on her own with wildfires, fire suppression over the past century has allowed for plant communities to become dominated by evergreen trees. Old/late plant communities, like a pure stand of pinyon and juniper trees with nothing growing within them have very little foraging value to deer. Tree removal, like chainsaw crews cutting pinyon and juniper trees for deer and elk, preserves an early plant community and allows for higher quality food for deer and elk to grow. This is why UDWR is spending time and money to try and maintain these areas for winter foraging.
While the Spirit of Conservation Pinyon/Juniper Removal Project might not restore mule deer populations in Emery County to levels seen in the 1960s, they will help sustain existing populations. With plant communities in Emery County trending towards higher pinyon/juniper content, and poor foraging opportunities, industry and wildlife managers must capitalize on opportunities to provide additional high quality forage. That is why UDWR and the Utah Watershed Restoration Initiative partnered with ConocoPhillips along with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation who awarded UDWR the Spirit of Conservation Grant to remove portions of the monoculture of trees to maintain wintering forage areas for deer and elk. UDWR wants to thank ConocoPhillips for all of their contributions to wildlife habitat projects.
