About The Artist:
John Ferren was an American abstract artist born in Pendleton, Oregon in 1905 and raised in California. He briefly attended the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco in 1925 and served as an apprentice to an Italian stone cutter. During his apprenticeship, Ferren began sculpting clay portraits. In 1929, Ferren had saved enough money to travel to Europe, where he met artist Hans Hofmann. In Munich, he saw an exhibition of works by Henri Matisse, which influenced Ferren to become a painter. He sat in on classes and attended drawing sessions at Parisian art schools Académie Ranson and Académie de la Grande Chaumière while working at a local artists' café. After traveling, Ferren returned to California and showed his first solo exhibition at the Art Center in San Francisco.
Ferren returned to Paris in 1931 and remained there through the 1930s. In Paris, Ferren exhibited with and befriended avant-garde artists who helped him explore his own style and technique. These artists included Manuel Ortiz de Zárate whose daughter he married, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Jean Hélion, Georges Vantongerloo, Naum Gabo, Wassily Kandinsky, Max Ernst, and André Breton. Ferran also met Pierre Matisse, gallerist and son of artist Henri Matisse, who exhibited his work in his New York gallery in 1936.
In 1938, Ferran divorced and returned to the United States, settling in New York. Though he attended American Abstract Artist meetings, he felt little affiliation with the group. During World War II, Ferran traveled to Europe and North Africa while serving with the Office of War and Information. After the war, like many other artists, Ferren gave up incorporating figures in his paintings and embraced Abstract Expressionism, a movement which is characterized by strong, gestural brushwork, spontaneity, and the manifestation of the artistÌ's emotions on canvas.
Ferran's untitled airbrush work on paper is from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Ferran believed that painting could unravel the truth behind the false appearance of reality. In this work, a centralized black form slides down from the top of the painting. This form is surrounded by floating gestural, light blue cloud-like forms. The floating forms juxtapose the heavy black form which is drawn downward by gravity.

It says Spotify hasn't launched in your country yet. I'm from Slovenia (Europe) and I'm on a computer.
That's lame! You can still get the music in iTunes and Amazon. Click the links to find the music on iTunes
I can't listen to the songs. Spotify doesn't work in Europe I guess.
Spotify originated in Europe, so it should work there. Are you getting an error message, or does the player just not play? Are you trying from a computer or a mobile device?
I'm so glad you created some "geek" tunes for Christmas — I was looking for something like this and here it is! My kids love your "fractured" Christmas tales and constantly request these tracks more than the traditional music. We downloaded our favorites from Amazon and have added them to our regular Christmas rotation. Thanks for the fun!
PS – I also appreciate the streaming player on your site, which allowed us to preview each song song in full before making our purchase. Much nicer than the 30 second snippets you get from the online stores.
If you're a fan of Oxhorn and love WOW or MMO's of any persuasion you'll love this album.
Very nice album, like it much more than the other. Gonna buy it tomorrow like I promised on the stream earlier.

The 2012 Cy Young winners, David Price (left) and R.A. Dickey, are a combined 3-8 with a 5.82 ERA.Last season's Cy Young winners, David Price and R.A. Dickey, are scheduled to start Thursday night when the Tampa Bay Rays host the Toronto Blue Jays.
However, so far in 2013, Price and Dickey certainly have not been the same pitchers that they were in 2012.
Hard Knuckler Non-Existent
The slashline on Dickey's sub-80 mph knuckleball is close to the same in 2013 (.226/.294/.397) as it was in 2012 (.241/.293/.382).
What Dickey is missing is the hard knuckleball he threw, ones that were thrown at least 80 mph.
Last season, Dickey threw nearly 500 knuckleballs with a velocity of at least 80 mph. Opponents hit .146, struck out 92 times and had an OPS of .407. This season? Dickey has thrown a total of 12 knuckleballs at least 80 mph, and has thrown more than three in only one start.
Hitters Aren't Chasing
Dickey had great success last season getting hitters to chase pitches outside of the strike zone: opposing hitters chased one-third of the pitches Dickey threw that were out of the strike zone in 2012. This season, Dickey has been able to get hitters to chase that often only once in seven starts. In Dickey's last start the Mariners' chase rate was 16 percent, his lowest in a single game in nearly two years.
Price Isn't Right
Price has already allowed six home runs with men on base this season. That's two more than he allowed in 31 starts last season.
David Price Pitches in Upper Half of Zone
One issue with Price this season is that he is leaving more balls over the plate. He's throwing more pitches in the upper half of the strike zone -- belt-high and above -- and batters are taking advantage.
Hook Is Not Hooking
Price's curveball is finding the strike zone more often and hitters aren't fooled by it. This season he's recorded 21 outs and allowed 10 hits with his curve, after netting a 4-to-1 ratio of outs-to-hits with the pitch last season. Opponents last season hit .153 with no home runs against his curveball. In 2013, that average is up to .323 with three home runs.
Longball Problem
In 211 innings last season, Price allowed 16 home runs. In 2013, he's already allowed eight in less than 45 innings.
His home run-to-fly ball ratio is more than double last year's rate. Last year roughly one of every 11 fly balls left the park. This year, six of his 38 fly balls have already gone over the fence.
It's also worth noting that the fly balls Price has allowed this season on average have gone farther (273 feet compared to 257 feet last season), indicating that he's getting hit harder and has not been unlucky.
Somewhat Historic Start
This will be the third time since 1967, when the Cy Young award was first given to a pitcher in each league, that reigning Cy Young winners will be opposing starting pitchers, this according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The other instances were Aug. 28, 1989 with the New York Mets' Frank Viola (who won the award with the Minnesota Twins in 1988) beat the Los Angeles Dodgers' Orel Hershiser, and on July 15, 1999 when the New York Yankees' Roger Clemens lost to Tom Glavine and the Atlanta Braves.

only begotten
John 1:14
1:14 only begotten. "Only begotten" is the Greek monogenes, which precisely means "only begotten," not just "only," as some translators render it. God has many "sons" and "daughters" (e.g., John 1:12), but Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son; in fact, He eternally proceeds from the Father, manifesting and revealing Him.

British firing squad stages execution of German spy during World War I |
One state lawmaker is proposing a bill to expand the death penalty and force people convicted of homicide to face execution by a five-officer firing squad.
New Hampshire State Rep. Delmar Burridge, D-Keene, is sponsoring H.B. 37, a bill providing for execution by firing squad for anyone who causes the death of another person by use of a firearm while engaged in the commission of a felony – an offense that would be considered capital murder under Burridge's plan.
According to the bill, the commissioner of the department of corrections will be required to select five peace officers to carry out the execution of defendants convicted of capital murder.
"The commissioner or designee shall ensure that the method of judgment of death specified in the warrant is carried out at a secure correctional facility operated by the department at an hour determined by the department on the date specified in the warrant," it states.
Current law includes murder of judges, law enforcement personnel, murder for hire, some drug-related homicides and rape-murders as capital offenses, but Burridge is seeking to add homicide during an armed robbery, or other felonies committed with a weapon, to the list – excluding such criminals from the standard death by lethal injection.
"A firing squad is more humane, reliable and quick. And perfectly matches the crime with the punishment," Burridge said last week.
However, New England Cable News reports the bill has received little support so far.
"It provides for what we consider to be an unconstitutional cruel and unusual type of punishment," death penalty opponent Ryan Marvin said.
A New Hampshire man, Michael Addison, is currently on death row after he was convicted of slaying a Manchester police officer in 2006. His is scheduled to be the first execution carried out by the state since 1939.
Only two states – Idaho and Oklahoma – currently allow execution by a team of riflemen as an alternative to lethal injection. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, John Albert Taylor was the last U.S. citizen to face death by firing squad in Utah before the state eliminated the practice in 2004. He was put to death on Jan 27, 1996.
Burridge acknowledged his proposal is a long shot. Nonetheless, he believes it could act as a deterrent for potential offenders.
"I think that will thwart or frustrate or just get someone to pause, just for a minute. And that's sometimes all it takes," he said.
If you'd like to sound off on this issue, please take part in the WorldNetDaily poll.

The Chicken and the Pig
The business fable of The Chicken and the Pig is about commitment to a project or cause. When producing a dish made of ham and eggs, the pig provides the ham which requires his sacrifice and the chicken provides the eggs which are not difficult to produce. Thus the pig is really committed in that dish while the chicken is only involved, yet both are needed to produce the dish.
The fable of the Chicken and the Pig is used to illustrate the differing levels of project stakeholders involved in a project. The basic fable runs:[1]
- A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.
- The Chicken says: "Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!"
- Pig replies: "Hm, maybe, what would we call it?"
- The Chicken responds: "How about 'ham-n-eggs'?"
- The Pig thinks for a moment and says: "No thanks. I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved."
Sometimes, the story is presented as a riddle:[citation needed]
- Question: In a bacon-and-egg breakfast, what's the difference between the Chicken and the Pig?
- Answer: The Chicken is involved, but the Pig is committed!
Interpretation and lessonsEdit
The fable has been used mostly in contexts where a strong team is needed for success, like in sports or in Agile software development.
Agile project managementEdit
The fable was[2] referenced to define two types of project members by the scrum agile management system:[3] pigs, who are totally committed to the project and accountable for its outcome, and chickens, who consult on the project and are informed of its progress. This analogy is based upon the pig being able to provide bacon (a sacrificial offering, for which the pig must die in order to provide) versus a chicken which provides eggs (non-sacrificial).
For a Scrum project the Product Owner, the Scrum Master and Development Team are considered as people who are committed to the project while customers and executive management are considered as involved but not committed to the project.[4]
As of 2011, the fable has been removed from the official Scrum process.[2]
The fable also is used as an analogy for levels of commitment to a game, team etc. For example, variations of this quote have been attributed to football coach Mike Leach who said, on the officials in the 2007 Tech-Texas game in Austin: "It's a little like breakfast; you eat ham and eggs. As coaches and players, we're like the ham. You see, the chicken's involved but the pig's committed. We're like the pig, they're like the chicken. They're involved, but everything we have rides on this."[5]

magine the perfect American town... beautiful homes, manicured lawns, children playing safely in the streets. Now imagine never being able to leave. You have no communica-tion with the outside world. You think you're going insane. You must be in Wayward Pines.
Based on the best-selling novel "Pines" by Blake Crouch and brought to life by sus-penseful storyteller M. Night Shyamalan ("The Sixth Sense," "Signs"), WAYWARD PINES is the intense new mind-bending event thriller evocative of the classic cult hit "Twin Peaks."
Secret Service Agent ETHAN BURKE drives to the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, ID, to find two missing federal agents. Ethan was the logical choice for the mission. He's one of the best Secret Service agents in the Seattle office. He's also the man who knew missing agent KATE HEWSON better than anyone. They were partners. They were more than that. Their relationship nearly destroyed Ethan's marriage. Kate transferred to Boise and Ethan thought he'd never see her again. Now, Kate and her new Secret Ser-vice partner, BILL EVANS, are nowhere to be found. But just as Ethan spots the sign that says "Welcome to Wayward Pines, Where Paradise is Home!," a truck slams into his car.
When Ethan wakes up in the Wayward Pines Hospital, he remembers his name, his ad-dress in Seattle and the accident on the outskirts of town. He knows he's a Secret Ser-vice Agent who came to Wayward Pines to investigate the disappearance of two agents. What he can't figure out is what's wrong with this eerily perfect little town. None of the phones work. He can't get through to his wife back home or his boss at the Secret Ser-vice. His wallet, ID, money, phone…everything is gone. And no one will help him.
Back home in Seattle, Ethan's wife, THERESA, gets a call from Ethan's boss at the Se-cret Service, ADAM HASSLER. Ethan is missing. No other information is available until early testing shows that Ethan was never in his car that was recovered on the side of the road outside of Wayward Pines. They're still investigating. This isn't enough for Theresa. Along with their teenage son, BEN, Theresa sets out on her own search for Ethan.
The mystery only deepens as Ethan employs his intelligence and tireless determination to solve the mystery of this unsettling town. Challenged at every turn by the town's die-hard residents, Ethan's investigation only turns up more questions, the most important of which is: What's wrong with Wayward Pines?

Jewish World Review Oct. 23, 2012/ 7 Mar-Cheshvan, 5773 Fact Checking the Final Debate By Glenn Kessler
"Just a few weeks ago, you said you think we should have more troops in Iraq right now. . . . You said that we should still have troops in Iraq to this day."
"There was an effort on the part of the president to have a status-of-forces agreement, and I concurred in that and said that we should have some number of troops that stayed on. That was something I concurred with."
Romney has the better part of this argument. Here's what he said in his Oct. 8 Virginia Military Institute speech: "America's ability to influence events for the better in Iraq has been undermined by the abrupt withdrawal of our entire troop presence. The president tried and failed to secure a responsible and gradual drawdown that would have better secured our gains."
Romney did not technically say that troops should still be in Iraq. And he is correct: Obama did try to extend a status-of-forces agreement that had been originally signed by the Bush administration, but he could not get a deal with the Iraqi government that would have given U.S. forces immunity from prosecution under Iraqi law. So now Obama stresses the fact that he removed all troops from Iraq, while knocking Romney for supporting what he originally hoped to achieve.
"When the students took to the streets in Tehran and the people there protested, the Green Revolution occurred, for the president to be silent I thought was an enormous mistake."
Romney said Obama was "silent" on the protests in Iran, but that is not quite correct.
The president's response was initially muted in part out of caution and in part because he was preserving the ability to relaunch negotiations over Iran's nuclear program. In that country's complex political system, the president is not the key figure. Instead, it is the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a religious leader.
On June 13, 2009, Iran announced that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had won reelection in a landslide victory, prompting mass protests from supporters of the main opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi.
On June 15, with the protests becoming the largest since the 1979 Iranian revolution, Obama spoke: It is "up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be," he said, adding that "I am deeply troubled by the violence that I've been seeing on television."
The president toughened his stance a week later, on June 23, after more violence erupted: "I strongly condemn these unjust actions, and I join with the American people in mourning each and every innocent life that is lost."
Obama "said by now we'd be at 5.4 percent unemployment. We're 9 million jobs short of that."
Romney likes to say that Obama promised to lower the unemployment rate to 5.4 percent by 2012. But it is not as simple as that.
Romney is citing a 14-page report, written by two Obama aides before Obama took the oath of office, concerning a theoretical stimulus bill. It was not an official government assessment or even an analysis of an actual plan that had passed Congress.
Still, the administration later cited the report in congressional testimony, giving it an official imprimatur. So, while Obama officials may not have "pledged" such a goal, it was certainly one of the administration's talking points.
"With respect to what we've done with China already, U.S. exports have doubled since I came into office."
The president has set a goal of doubling U.S. exports by 2014, but he seems to be getting ahead of himself. Exports of goods to China went from $89 billion in 2008 to $103 billion in 2011, according to the Census Bureau.
"I would say that ships that carry Iranian oil can't come into our ports."
This is a puzzling statement. No Iranian oil is coming into the United States, and none has come here for quite some time. Ronald Reagan signed an executive order in 1987 banning all U.S imports from Iran, and President Bill Clinton in 1995 banned all U.S. participation in Iranian petroleum development.
"I said if I got [Osama] bin Laden in our sights I would take that shot; you said we shouldn't move heaven and Earth to get one man."
The Obama campaign has made far too much out of this ancient comment.
Romney made this statement in a 2007 interview with the Associated Press: "It's not worth moving heaven and Earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person."
But Obama has ignored the rest of the interview, in which the AP quoted Romney as saying he "supports a broader strategy to defeat the Islamic jihad movement." Just a few days later, Romney expanded on his remarks during a debate:
"We'll move everything to get him. But I don't want to buy into the Democratic pitch that this is all about one person Osama bin Laden because after we get him, there's going to be another and another. . . . This is a worldwide jihadist effort to try and cause the collapse of all moderate Islamic governments and replace them with a caliphate."

Acute Epididymitis
Acute Epididymitis
Alternate Names
- epididymitis
- epididymo-orchitis
Epididymitis is an infection of the epididymis. The epididymis is a soft, coiled tubular structure on the back of the testicle.
What is going on in the body?
Infections generally spread to the epididymis from the bladder or the urethra. The urethra is the tube that allows urine to pass from the bladder to the outside of the body.
In young children or older men, bacteria that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) are often the cause. Sexually transmitted infections are more likely to be the cause in sexually active young men.
Infection in the epididymis causes severe pain and swelling. The infection may spread to the testicle. When both structures are inflamed, the condition is known as epididymo-orchitis.
It is rare that an infection will occur in the testicle alone. The bacteria will usually infect the epididymis first.
What are the causes and risks of the disease?
Risk factors for epididymitis are the same as for infections of the urethra or bladder. These two conditions create an increased risk for epididymitis.
Infections of the urethra are often sexually transmitted. These infections may be avoided by not having sex or by having sex with one person for life. Condoms may provide some protection.
Bladder infections are more common in those with inherited kidney and bladder problems. Bladder infections are also more common in those with enlarged prostate glands.
Persons who need to use urinary catheters are at a higher risk for epididymitis. Urinary catheters are urine drainage tubes placed through the penis into the bladder.
What can be done to prevent the disease?
Avoidance of the risk factors mentioned above can reduce the risk of epididymitis. When early treatment is given for infection of the bladder or urethra, epididymitis can often be avoided. Symptoms of these two conditions may include frequent and painful urination. A burning sensation in the penis during urination, unusually strong urges to urinate andfevercan also occur. If these symptoms occur, affected persons are advised to see a healthcare provider. Unfortunately, infections of the urethra and bladder sometimes cause no symptoms. Epididymitis is difficult to prevent in these cases.
How is the disease diagnosed?
A physical exam and medical history are the keys to diagnosis. Pain comes on rapidly over a 1 or 2 day period. Symptoms of bladder infection may also be present. Urine tests such asurinalysisorurine culturemay be done to look for signs of infection.
Epididymitis can sometimes be confused withtesticular torsion. Torsion is a painful condition that occurs when a testicle twists abnormally and cuts off its own blood supply. Torsion is rare in older men. However, in a younger, sexually active man the two problems may look similar. Scrotal ultrasonography, a special x-ray test, may be needed to tell the difference.
Long Term Effects
What are the long-term effects of the disease?
Untreated, this disease can destroy the epididymitis or the testicle. An abscess, or pocket of pus, can also form in the scrotum. The infection could even spread throughout the body and be life threatening. Even after successful treatment, there is a risk ofchronic epididymitisand chronic pain.
Other Risks
What are the risks to others?
Epididymitis itself is not generally contagious. However, those with epididymitis may have asexually transmitted diseasethat is contagious.
What are the treatments for the disease?
Epididymitis is generally treated with 10 to 14 day of antibiotics such as:
doxycycline (i.e., Adoxa, Doryx, Oracea, Periostat, Vibramycin) and an injection of ceftriaxone (i.e., Rocephin)
ciprofloxacin (i.e., Cipro)
levofloxacin (i.e., Levaquin)
- norfloxacin (i.e., Noroxin)
NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (i.e., Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (i.e., Aleve, Naprosyn) or acetaminophen (i.e., Tylenol) can be used for discomfort.
Hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics may be needed for severe infections.
It is important to treat an affected person's sexual partners after a sexually transmitted disease. This prevents a repeat infection.
If examination and x-ray tests cannot rule out testicular torsion, surgery may be necessary. Untreated testicular torsion may lead to destruction of the affected testicle.
Side Effects
What are the side effects of the treatments?
Medications used to treat this problem may cause:
- allergic reaction
- stomach upset
- skin sensitivity to sunlight
If surgery is required, there is a risk of bleeding and infection, as with all surgeries.
After Treatment
What happens after treatment for the disease?
A person may have a relapse if the course of medication is not long enough. In these cases, 6 weeks of medication may be needed. Sometimes, persons will need another 8 to 12 weeks of antibiotics after that.
How is the disease monitored?
Even if treated adequately, epididymitis can recur. Surgery to remove the epididymitis or the testicle may be needed if:
- an episode does not respond to antibiotics
- an abscess or pocket of pus develops

Feeling entitled makes dull tasks drag on
- Contact Jared Wadley
ANN ARBOR, Mich.People who feel entitled may think performing dull tasks is a waste of their precious time, resulting in a perception that time passes slowly, according to a new University of Michigan study.
Most people complete at least some dull and routine tasks daily. But if they feel entitled, they are more likely to view them as a waste of time, says Ed O'Brien, a graduate student in the Department of Psychology. This results in the perception that time drags while completing them.
The perception of the "waste of time" could affect time-related interpersonal tasks that might be considered dull, such as volunteering, recycling or driving. It could also extend to how much a person is willing to commit his or her time in a relationship, O'Brien says.
Entitlement is the sense that one deserves more than others. It does not have to involve resources, such as possessing materials or being rich.
"It is the feeling that you are owed something without necessarily putting in effort to attain it," O'Brien said.
For example, an entitled student expects that he "deserves" an "A" regardless of whether he studied for the test. An entitled employee expects that she should get extra vacation days regardless of whether she worked overtime or not. The research suggests that these students and employees more generally perceive their time as valuable and so are more likely to perceive time as wasted or dragging while doing tasks that do not benefit themselves.
The research looks at the link between self-focus and time perception. Three separate studies were conducted: the fun/boring word game, the online survey, and the word-flash experiment. All participants were college students, but each study was completed by a different set of individuals.
For Study 1, students saw a giant block of letters and were asked to copy it repeatedly word-for-word. Researchers asked students to rate how fun the task was from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely). The average score was 2.8. Even though all students did this task for 10 minutes, entitled students thought it took much longer.
For Study 2, researchers designed "dull" survey questions involving day-to-day things. Students were asked 27 questions such as, "What is your favorite day of the week," "In which campus building do you spend the most time?" and "How many meals do you tend to eat per day?"
Participants in the entitled group thought it took more time to complete the survey than those in the control group: 11 minutes and eight minutes, respectively. The entitled group also said the survey was a greater waste of time than those from the control group.
"Consistent with our theory, dull tasks crawl for entitled people because they view them as a waste of time," O'Brien said.
For Study 3, students stared at a computer screen for 12 minutes; every once in a while there was a flash of light, which were actually subliminal words. In the control group, the words included "water," "something," "another" and "little." The other group had entitled, self-focus words such as "special," "important," "deserve" and "superior."
Next, the students were told to exit the laboratory and walk down the hall where an experimenter was waiting to give them credit for taking the survey. Unknown to the students, the experimenter timed how long it took participants to walk to where he was sitting.
Participants, who saw the flashes of entitled words, rated time as passing more slowly, thought the task was less interesting, and thought it was a greater waste of time. In addition, the entitled group walked faster when exiting the laboratory (12 seconds) than the other group (13 seconds)?presumably because they felt they had wasted their time and were more anxious to get on with their day.
Informally, when researchers asked participants to describe the study after they finished, everyone reported that the task felt dull.
The study, which was co-authored by Phyllis Anastasio of Saint Joseph's University and Brad Bushman of Ohio State University, appears in the October issue of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin: http://psp.sagepub.com/content/37/10.toc.

Which animal should you choose? What is the best way to start your research? Where are the best places to search for information? Let Oakland Zoo help with your next report.
Think carefully about the animal you wish to research. It will be easy to find information on most of the common larger animals found in zoos. (For a list of animals at the Oakland Zoo check out the Animals A-Z page). You may have to search harder to find information about unusual animals. If you find too much information, narrow your search. For example, instead of tigers, look for Bengal tigers. If there is too little information make your topic broader. For instance, compare Bengal tigers to Siberian tigers.
Make a list of key words that describe your topic. (In the example of the tiger, key words might include tigers, Asian wildlife, endangered cats, etc.) Now you are ready to search. The library: Using your key words, look on your library computer and copy down authors, titles, and call numbers for books that have the information that you need. A librarian can help you locate the books. The internet: Go to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. Type in your key words and look at the websites that come up. It is best to pick the ones that are from zoos or wildlife organizations. Websites by individual people are usually not as reliable and may contain opinions, not facts. Either take notes or print out the information.
Magazines like ZooBooks, National Geographic, and Smithsonian are wonderful sources for animal information. Your library and bookstore will have copies of these magazines. You can also find the articles on-line, but you may have to pay a fee to look at them.
If you have thoroughly researched your animal and you still need information, write to your local zoo with specific questions that you couldn't find in your research. (Make sure that the zoo has the animal that you are studying). Don't ask the zoo to do your research for you by asking for answers that you can find yourself. Instead, ask questions that only a zoo could answer. Remember that people who work in zoos are very busy so make sure to ask your questions several weeks before your report is due.

Swapping these DS ends?
I have the original drive shaft from my Comanche, I had it cut down to the proper size.(LEFT) However, I need to switch the trans case end from the small drive shaft to the larger one. How easy is this? It looks simple, but shit has a habit of fucking up when I touch it. I see snap rings that have to come out, and they are rusty as shit, so they will need to be replaced.
What do I ask for at the parts store? What about the caps? If I am correct, there are needle bearing inside, how do you keep them all on the sides when installing? Any u-joint I have taken apart, the needles instantly fall out and disappear. Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere? No searching has come up with nothing. BTW, that weld on the left was done by a local machine shop, considered to be a damn god job. I have seen some fucks on here booger weld better than that.

just get new u-joints and install...dont even try to swap out the old ones, there's no point, they are cheap enough.
yes, there are needle bearings inside the caps. They come greased so the bearings stay in as long as you dont wack them around. Use a vice and a socket to press in the caps with the center section in position between the ears. Dont use impact as that will dislodge the bearings. It's pretty simple. Edit: New Ujoints will come with new snaprings.

I imagine your going to have a hard time creating a seal around that short stub shaft, might just save yourself some time and headache and order a new one through a driveline supplier. Also, it doesn't appear to have much in the way of slip, if your vehicle has anything more than minimal suspension travel that stub shaft will not work. |

A 70-year-old man has been arrested by police investigating historic child sex abuse at a school.
The suspect, from Lancashire, was held by officers from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate this morning.
The arrest follows three others as part of an inquiry into previously unreported alleged child sex abuse offences at Swaylands School in Penshurst, Kent, between 1967 and 1993.
The investigation follows an inquiry back in 1993 which resulted in the conviction of two men for six offences each of sexual offences against children.
A spokesman for the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said the pair were sentenced to three years for each offence, which ran concurrently, and related to four victims.
New information received by Kent Police has since resulted in a further investigation by detectives.
Since the new inquiry started, four suspects have been arrested and some 20 victims identified, located across the country and abroad.
A 72-year-old man from Norfolk, a 69-year-old man from Edinburgh and a 60-year-old man from Berkshire have all been arrested in connection and questioned by detectives.
All those suspects are on police bail, and an additional three suspects identified by officers died before the investigation was launched.

Charles Dickens had a super-compressed workday: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Then he'd depart.
"He would walk incessantly," the Guardian reports, "and put his mind into neutral."
Dickens routine has been validated by research: right around 2 p.m. is when our energy tends to dip.
The neutrality gained by an afternoon walk can be an advantage; new research indicates that it's crucial to having critical insights.
"That sort of downtime, when you're not thinking directly about what you're trying to learn, or figure out, or write about — that downtime is a time of subconscious processing that allows you [to learn] better," says Oakland University engineering professor Barbara Oakley, author of the new book "A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)."
The reason for this, Oakley recently explained to Mother Jones, is that the brain has two basic gears: a focused mode (where you're actively engaging with a problem) and a diffuse mode (where problems have a chance to percolate).
So if you never take a break, you never access that secondary mode of thinking.
"When you're focusing, you're actually blocking your access to the diffuse mode," Oakley says. "And the diffuse mode, it turns out, is what you often need to be able to solve a very difficult, new problem."
Psychologists have a name for the percolation process: incubation. Just like how you get your best ideas in the shower, going for walks allows fresh insights to emerge.

Now that the Liberal Democrats have broken with convention to call an early by-election in Oldham East and Saddleworth – the first January by-election on the British mainland since 1966 – the dilemma for the Tories is how hard they should fight it.
At the last election, the now disqualified Labour candidate, Phil Woolas, beat the Liberal Democrat Elwyn Watkins by only 108 votes. Labour has replaced him with a strong, locally based candidate, Debbie Abrahams, and Ed Miliband is throwing himself into the fray.
The best tactic for beating Labour might seem to be for the Tories quietly to encourage their supporters to fall in behind Mr Watkins. However, his share of the vote fell in 2010. The reason the contest was so close was that a chunk of the Labour vote defected to the Tory, Kashif Ali. With the Lib Dems in trouble nationally, many of the Tories argue that Mr Ali is the more credible challenger.
So they will not have been pleased to hear what David Cameron had to say yesterday: "The context of the by-election is that the MP elected at the election has been found in court to have told complete untruths about his opponent... In that context, we wish our partners well. They had an extremely tough time. All the unfairnesses and untruths about their candidate [Mr Watkins] – he's now been exonerated. So of course I wish them well." He did not sound like a leader intent on victory.
A short history of Miliband
Iain Dale, the Tory blogger, has said this week that he'll blog no more. Like the Labour MP and ex-blogger Tom Harris, he has had his fill of the nastiness in the blogosphere. But he has not disappeared. He tweeted excitedly the other day that his publishing firm has commissioned journalists Mehdi Hassan and James MacIntyre to write Ed Miliband's biography. Within minutes, the managing editor of the Financial Times, Robert Shrimsley, replied: "A biography of Ed Miliband!!! – there's barely enough for a tweet."
Bob, the bruiser at No 10
Man can claim to have fought apartheid when that evil existed, but few can make that boast as literally as Bob Roberts, of the Daily Mirror, who starts in January as a spin doctor for Ed Miliband. Just how fiercely he fought could be attested by a racist South African policeman who once came into contact with Roberts' fist.
Fascinatingly off topic
During a high-powered discussion in the Lords this week about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, up popped 73-year-old Lord Selsdon, who, in a 10-minute speech, told their lordships many things: that the UK has a longer coastline than India; that his great aunt Jenny Mitchell-Thompson gave him some BP shares 50 years ago which he sold to pay for his son to be privately educated; that the nations of the British Commonwealth have a combined merchant shipping fleet of 21,000 vessels; and that Stafford Cripps was his great uncle. Fascinating. But not once did he mention the oil spill.

There are several ways to mark a pair of pants in order to hem them.
I have used the same method for years.
It is so easy that your kids, husband, neighbor, or friend could do it easily.
And so can you!
First, I make sure the customer has on a pair of shoes that they will wear with the pants.
Then, I have them stand on the wood floor facing a full length mirror.
Then I grab a seam gauge like this one:
It is a handy tool for this assignment.
I ask the customer how high off the ground they'd like their pants to be.
If they don't know, I start by folding the hem up 1/2″ off the ground, using the seam gauge as my guide.
Then I have the customer look and see if they like it at that point.
This customer wanted hers higher, so I folded them up 3/4″ from the ground and put a pin in there. (In the photo below, I pushed the blue slide up out of the way so you can see the fold of the pants better. Sorry, but I took this picture with the camera on the floor and didn't look through the viewfinder first. It's a little distorted and I didn't look at the photo until she left.)
But, you get the idea, don't you?
You can see in the photo below that I have turned the hem over to look at the wrong side of it:
The seam gauge shows that I had turned the hem up one inch.
(Let's recap: The pants are 3/4″ up off the ground and the pants are folded up 1″. That is why you have the two different measurements, in case you were wondering).
Next, I put three more pins into each pant leg (one at each side seam and one in the center front of the pant on each leg).
So, at each of the three points, I will fold the pants up one inch and put a pin in to secure it.
You should have a total of four pins per pant leg:
I let my customer look at the pants now that the 4 pins are in each leg and they let me know if they like the length.
If so, we're finished and I go on to hemming them.
If not, I raise or lower the foldline according to what they want and then change the other three pins accordingly.
This may seem like a long process, but it only takes a minute or two.
Once you have marked the hemline, you'll want to sew the hem. To do so, you'll want to read my posts on:
Hem Your Jeans the Professional Way
How To Hem Without Puckers for Flared or Tapered Pants
There are several other posts on specific hemming solutions, so look at the left toolbar and click on "More Articles" and then "Hems".
My next post will cover another way to mark your hems so stay tuned!

Corvette Racing's Oliver Gavin reflects on the up and down 2006 ALMS season in his end of the year race-by-race summary. Co-driving the number 4 Corvette with Olivier Beretta, the duo successfully defended their American Le Mans Series GT1 Championship despite the politics and performance balancing that appeared heavy-handed at times. And not only did the two "Ollies" have to fend off the challenges from their Aston Martin Racing competitors, but also their team mates Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell of the #3 Corvette.
Oliver confirms the Corvette Racing team is scheduled to run at Sebring in March. After that the schedule is up in the air as to whether the team will attempt to defend their ALMS Championship again, or head for other venues, casting off their ALMS performance-balancing sanctions to show the world just how good the C6.R Corvettes can be.

Pair of top-fives in the 600
May 28, 2012, Andrew Shain, Special to NASCAR.COM, NASCAR.com
In the fastest Coca-Cola 600 ever, Denny Hamlin paced the Coca-Cola Racing Family at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but points leader Greg Biffle was the race's most dominant driver. Hamlin finished second, while Biffle -- the race's lap leader -- came home fourth in the season's longest-distance event. Another pair of the red-and-white bunch -- Ryan Newman and Jeff Burton -- finished among the top 20. Denny Hamlin Coca-Cola 600 finish: Second Season Standings: Third Hamlin scored his fourth top-four finish in his past five races by taking a chance with about 80 laps remaining. He did not head to the pits and gained track position. He held the lead for 12 laps before getting passed by eventual race winner Kasey Kahne. His pit crew -- which was the fastest on the night -- kept him in second on the final stop and Hamlin appeared to be catching Kahne early in the run. But Hamlin had to settle for the runner-up spot -- his fourth consecutive top-10 at Charlotte. Hamlin's latest outing pushed him up a position in the points standings to third place. What he said: "Just used all my tires up trying to get to [Kahne]. I was driving with my eyes out and my hair on fire for 20 laps on that restart trying to catch him. ... We're going to hold our heads high. We have a lot of stuff that we learned with our race cars. We're definitely making strides in the right direction. There's nothing we did wrong, we just got beat by a better car." Greg Biffle Coca-Cola 600 finish: Fourth Season standings: First Biffle did everything right. He was the only driver among the top 15 for all 400 laps. He led more than half the laps. He ran on average in second place. But as the evening sky darkened, so did his chances for a win. The handling on Biffle's car gave way just enough in the cooler air that he could not get back to the lead he gripped for much of the race. Still, he managed his best finish at the 600 in four years and remains atop the season standings for a 10th consecutive race week. What he said: "I couldn't do anything wrong, and I felt like we kept up with the track, but there at the end when the speeds picked up we would kind of slide across the track and couldn't get a hold of it. ...I can't believe how fast we were, but the guys did a great job. We gained a little in points, but we really wanted to win." Ryan Newman Coca-Cola 600 finish: 14th Season standings: 13th Newman notched his best finish since winning at Martinsville nearly two months ago despite struggling with an ill-handling car during the 600. He hovered in the low- to mid-teens for much of the race. Adjustments by his pit crew were enough to hold him in place but not enough to crack into the top 10. Newman remains in the final wild card position for the Chase. What he said: "It was a pretty tough race. It seemed we just couldn't get a handle on the race car. We made numerous adjustments on every pit stop, but all we were able to do was just maintain. All things considered, to come away with a top-15 was not that bad. I wish we could've gotten it driving better. I really thought we might eventually have something for those guys up front. We kept digging deep, but it was like we were running in place in terms of positioning." Jeff Burton Coca-Cola 600 finish: 19th Season standings: 17th Burton came away from Charlotte pleased to see he had a car with top-five speed for a good part of the event. He battled through an ill-handling car before his racer sprang to life as the evening set in. Burton mingled in and out of the top 20 for much of the event before he had to pit late with a tire issue. He gained a race-best eight positions in the final 40 laps for his best 600 finish in four years and his third consecutive top-20 run in May. Burton stayed 17th in the points. What he said: "I know the finish doesn't show it, but we made huge strides with our 1.5-mile program [Sunday]. We had a top-15, maybe even top-10 race car at the end, but that tire issue pinned us down a couple laps. While I am disappointed about the random issue, I am very proud of the No. 31 crew. We are working hard and slowly getting where we need to be week-in and week-out." Jamie McMurray Coca-Cola 600 finish: 21st Season standings: 21st McMurray seemed to have a shot at times in Charlotte to continue Chip Ganassi's successful Sunday after his team owner won the Indianapolis 500. McMurray stormed into the top-five within 120 laps after starting 31st. He fell back after a pitroad mishap that forced him to make an additional stop. McMurray clawed his way back nearly into the top 10 but lost ground in the race's final laps. He dropped a spot in the season standings. What he said: "Our Chevrolet started out really strong. We raced our way to the front and had a strong car; however having to make an extra stop really took us out of contention with the long green flag runs and not being able to take advantage of any cautions. We really wanted to try and give Chip another win [Sunday]." Joey Logano Coca-Cola 600 finish: 23rd Season standings: 16th A tight-handling car led to Logano's worst-ever finish at Charlotte. After some adjustments and temperatures cooled with the setting sun, his racer improved on long runs but he was laps behind by the time the car improved. He broke into the top 20 with 40 laps to go but finished just outside at 23rd. Logano slipped another position in the points standings. What he said: "This is a fast track and when you don't have the speed off, you get behind quick. We got back there early and just never were able to get that back. Once again, I felt like we had the car better and we got a better handle on it after the sun went down, but with these long green flag runs and going a couple of laps down early, you just don't have the chance to get back on the lead lap. It was really a frustrating night because I love Charlotte." Tony Stewart Coca-Cola 600 finish: 25th Season standings: Ninth Bothered with a poor handling car and smacked in the pits, Stewart has not finished this poorly in 19 races since last October at Dover and has not come home this low at Charlotte since 2006. Early on, his team spent each pit stop trying to find the right fix for the car. He made up a lost lap about one-third through the race and reached 15th shortly after the midway point. The next pit stop proved costly, however, when Stewart collided with Brad Keselowski. Stewart was forced to spin his car around to get into the pit stall, but he fell two laps down and out of contention. Bobby Labonte Coca-Cola 600 finish: 28th Season standings: 27th Labonte, who fans voted into the All-Star Race, could not catch a break at Charlotte Motor Speedway two weeks in a row. After starting 26th, the handling on Labonte's car made navigating the 1.5-mile track difficult. Labonte's crew worked to make changes. He started too tight. Then he became too loose. And then he reported his No. 47 being a little of both. Labonte remains 27th in points. Danica Patrick Coca-Cola 600 finish: 30th Season standings: 59th Patrick qualified 40th in her third-ever appearance in NASCAR's top series and spent much of the race about 10 spots above her starting place. She got as high as 26th, a day after finishing 13th in the Nationwide race. Like at Darlington, Patrick was happy to run a clean race and gain experience as part of her 10-race trial run in the Sprint Cup events this season. What she said: "We had a lot of green-flag running and ... as a new driver in the Cup Series, that hurts me. I'm just not great at making the best out of a car that's not perfect, and those long runs really show that. But that's what you get in Cup. I would've liked to have been a little faster overall, but I think there were some times in there when it was decent. It was kind of like Darlington [where] there was a certain run or two that felt really good and everything else, you're just kind of like, 'Let's work on this and let's work on that.'

General Parenting Issues The purpose of this forum is to discuss general parenting issues related to children with AD/HD(ADD & ADHD) |

School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
My son has been diagnosed by a specialist with a very mild case of ADD, guess he got that from me............. Well, my little family & I live in a low economic area, my son goes to the local public school 95% of the children come from a non english speaking background, my son has blue eye's & frizzy blonde hair so he is different already. He is reading at an advanced stage, he is in Kindergarten reading at grade 2 level, he loves maths but has trouble writing & concentrating. The later appear to be the catalyst for the the grief we are getting especially my wife. The teacher bails my wife up at any chance she has and bullies her about my son. She insists that he needs to be on Ritalin & without it she has giving up on him, come on he is in kindergarten. My wife has been doing the hard yards, she has an Occupational Therapist, we has seen a specialist & a phsyciatrist. The specailist has recommended that we keep perservering with the fish oil & exercise, work a bit on the diet & see where we sit in 3 months. Medication is a last resort at the moment. This is not good enough for the teacher & she has assured us that he will fall behind the other children, even though she believes he is extremely bright. It is hard to explain the grief that we are getting via keyboard. Has Ritalin become a fallback?? Has anyone else had drama's like this, if so how do we proceed? On a side note I have read that school's get more funding with the more special needs children they have, my gut feeling is that this may be a reason for the push we are getting. |

Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
Well I know what I would end up saying, but I'm not sure it would really help this situation.
Try talking to the principal and explaining everything. There is no excuse for a teacher trying to force you to put your child on medication if that's not what you want to do.
Read Me. There will be a test later. I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words. |

Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
A fallback? I've been taking Ritalin for almost thirteen years and I consider it a necessity for me. There are lots of adults here who take medication and can answer any concerns you have.

Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
I'm sorry you feel you are being pushed. Just remember you can't be pushed.
You need to do what you feel is right for your child meds or no meds. We do no meds. Excercise didn't work so much here, but I know it does for others. What really helped us especially is diet. We use the feingold program and have also removed or are rotating foods that he tested to be allergic to with allergy testing. There is a diet section here if you haven't seen it. We started diet with my son when he was in kindergarten. We've been putting the pieces together for the past 2 years and I think we are almost done or we will be left with a learning disorder at worst. I wish you lots of luck on your journey.
son born 2001 - use feingold diet with excellent results. Are caesin free. Are chelating through our biomedical doctor. Use probiotics, sach B, multivite, omega 3's, vitamin d, vitamin c, magnesium, calcium. Completed behavior optometry therapy 2009 with good results. Started 5mg of adderall Nov 2009 while continueing the above. Dec 09 off adderal/hallucination. Still using supps getting new specialist for the meds. |
Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
Teachers have no business insisting that a child be put on any meds. I would talk to the principal and also check the school board's policies (not that they may be "right" but so you know exactly what you're talking about when you discuss things with the school.) Good luck!
Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
Is this an advanced or gifted program? Kindergartners learn numbers and counting, they don't do maths. Many kindergartners struggle with fine motor skills - especially boys. By writing, do you mean printing his name?
As you learn more about ADHD, you will understand what the teacher means. Children with ADHD underachieve compared to their ability.
Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
School has changed a fair bit & this teacher is a shocker, they went to a farm the other week & she told him what happens to the cows with the pink dots........................ Anyway, it's basic maths such as small additions & counting, they write sentences(short) & letters. She just doesn't seem to understand that repeatative work is mind numbingly painful & he only wants to do things once. The OT is working on his fine motor skills/writing. The specialist suggested sport & we have got him into martial arts, this might help with his impulsivness. They push little children alot harder than they used to, in my day all we learn't was finger painting was good & Clag Glue tasted great. Quote:
Especially when the Teacher has told my wife that she has given up on him. Principal is no help, they are all friends. |
Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
Did it help you? Not all children with ADHD are rowdy. Some children with ADHD don't even get noticed in a classroom and that's a problem too.
Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
In the US, most states have laws that make it unlawful for a teacher to recommend medication for a child. They are very good laws in my opinion. There is no excuse for the teacher's behavior. To threaten to give up on a kindergarten kid is, I feel, reprehensible. Start with the principal but you might consider going higher. One idea is to question the teacher's medical qualification to insist that the child needs to be on any kind of medication. This should be between the child's physician and the parent with the school kept in the loop. To medicate should not be the teacher's decision. I have seen success by getting the physician involved. It might be an idea to check to see if the the national or regional school governing body has a policy on this and possibly give some help. Here are some sources of information that may give you some ammunition: Russell Barkley is considered by most to be the top man in the field of ADHD. This is a transcript of a workshop by Barkley. It is dated 2000 but most of the data is still basically pretty good and a number of parents have told me that it has given them a lot of insight into ADHD. I do warn however that Barkley is information dense and can be a bit of a struggle to work though. It is worth it in my opinion. Some consider it the the best writeup on ADHD available on the internet. http://www.greatschools.net/pdfs/220...f?date=4-12-05 Russell Barkley's site.

I realize that these are all US based resources but that is all I have. I suggest that you might look for local support groups, something similar to CHADD in the states. I know this is a lot but your kid is worth it. You do not need to do all of these, and there are others that are good but this list is a good place to start. Your child is young and you will have to be an advocate for you son all the way through. Take your time, it is a thing worth doing. Good luck and give some feed back on how you are fairing. Dizfriz |

Re: School Drama's & Pushy Teachers.
UGH, the nerve of some teachers. There are probably a lot of other factors involved with how she feels. Such as things like being under paid, dealing with family issues, putting up with tons of kids that are unruly everyday, etc. So, as another member said, I'd talk with the principal and advise him/her of the situation. Those reasons still don't justify her actions, but do play a role I'm sure.
BTW.. My girlfriend is a teacher at a school with lots of unruly kids - so I know how that teacher might feel. I get a LOAD when she comes home from work and tells me about her day. But my girlfriend would never do anything like that. Quote:
