He's got the gunship for £65 too. I just wasn't expecting to see this in the UK!!!

Look - I'm Princess Leia!
At least there not up for that much. £50 for the gunship and £25 each for the compactor sets is probably only ~£10 more than TrU will sell them for, given their innovative dollar to sterling conversion rate (Remember the AT-AT) and I've seen the gunship in FP for about £45 so not that far off.
Still it's a slippery slope hopefully we'll never get to the point where we have blatant rip-off merchants like the silver R2 woman on US e-bay. She had like a case of 32 selling for $900 or something didn't she. Madness.
Gawd, I bet here ears were burning - I know the saga forum ripped into her something chronic.
Oh well, I'll sit patiently waiting for my R2DToys delivery in two weeks.
Look - I'm Princess Leia!
Cheap at twice the price. I bet these go fast. Personally I'll wait for the cheaper general release where each set will probablt retail at 10-12 quid each. As much as I love the lok of the trash compactor sets I don't think I'd be tempted to pay that much for them. hasbro have said themselves that these are going to available widely in the new year. As for the gunship, that's only a few dayts from release generally in the UK really. If it was the arena playset I could understand someone trying to get a few squid for an early showing on it. I mean that's what, a whole month off release. And that's like sooooooooo long to wait......
I think I'll wait, too.
Mind you, I have bought from this chap on more than one occasion and I can confirm that he's one of the best eBay sellers I've come across!
"Afterlife, aftershave - don't hold with any of it!" - Sir Henry Rawlinson.
Yeah, I've seen a few sales of his before now when I've been hunting stuff, although I've never resorted to EBAY. Somehow i just don't trust the whole process and loathe the idea of bidding on any item. To lose an auction would be too annoying. I'd rather stick to e-tailers who have enough stock to go round. Guaranteed purchases make me happy. :happy:
Ive bought 37 items on e-bay, all star Wars and had no hassle, it can be fun but really is annoying when you get outbid at the last minute.....but good when you do the same back Hee! Hee!
I am very impatient and (9 out of ten) choose the buy it now option. Avoids all the out-bid anguish cause I'm a sore loser...
Without Ebay I'd not have 60% of the stuff I've got. It's been great for filling in those gaps.
Look - I'm Princess Leia!
I have also got alot of my stuff off ebay.
Alot of it, I have never seen in collector stores anywhere (e.g Jedi Con C-3PO).
Many a time have I been outbid at the last minute, and always by only 50p - £1.
I was for many years after a Theatre Ed Luke Jedi, always outbid, very frustrating. Still I managed to get one privately from a guy in the Netherlands at a fraction of the UK price.
My searching through ebay, still goes on. Kinda addicted to it.

A cup of coffee,some biscuits and that's me ready for an hour or so looking through the figures on ebay......VERY addictive

Sorry, New Zealand - the new KiwiSaver rates aren't the answer to your retirement savings. From Monday, the minimum employee contribution to KiwiSaver will go up to 3 per cent, matched by 3 per cent from employers.
If anyone thinks this is their retirement sorted, they're wrong.
"A lot of people think opening KiwiSaver accounts mean they have their retirement planning under control," says Jeff Matthews, senior financial adviser at Spicers Wealth Management.
Just look at the Aussies. They are putting aside 9 per cent each month towards retirement, and that's expected to increase.
Almost everyone says the KiwiSaver change is "a good start". But it just isn't enough to guarantee a comfortable retirement. The figure is more like 10 to 12 per cent if you start young, says Matthews. Or more if you don't start saving for retirement until age 40 or 50.
Everyone has different needs in retirement and they should plan their dotage income on an analysis of their spending, rather than on a percentage of pre-retirement income.
"Most people don't have a good handle on what their living expenses are, and even fewer people have any idea how much money is required to fund that lifestyle," says Matthews.
As a rule of thumb - the average weekly household expenditure of $1010 a week adds up to $52,520, and would take a lump sum of about $860,000 to generate that income for 20 years, says Matthews.
That excludes New Zealand Superannuation. Even if NZ Super is in place when Gen Xs and Ys retire, they'll need a lump sum of about $430,000 to maintain an average lifestyle. The big "but" is whether there will be NZ Super when the younger generation retires (or even the youngest baby boomers). "For most people, those are going to be scary numbers," he says.
Most retirement predictions include NZ Super at current levels adjusted for inflation. But Matthews and others say the country simply can't afford that. There's a "tsunami" of baby boomers about to hit the collect window for NZ Super. During the 1960s, 7 to 8 per cent of the population were superannuitants.
Today the figure is 12 to 13 per cent, and it is projected to reach a quarter of the population in 2051, says Matthews. That's partly because of the post-war population boom and partly because we're living longer.
With more and more people passing Go and picking up the pension, the money to fund it has to come directly out of taxes. What's more, as the percentage of oldies grows the number of taxpayers working to pay for their retirement income is going to fall. Or so all the predictions show.
One Sorted.org.nz user emailed the Commission for Financial Literacy to make a very good point. "Did my life expectancy really increase by five years since April?" he wrote. "Great news, except that I found I couldn't really afford it."
Living longer is a double-edged sword. The longer the life, the greater the spending. It's already likely that sooner or later the retirement age will increase to 67, which will save the Government some money.
There is a high likelihood that pensioners of the future will have to foot bigger healthcare costs - especially as medicine advances and we have more cures. Yet one in three people aged over 50 surveyed by Southern Cross Healthcare Group expected the Government to cover all their healthcare costs in retirement.
In the Southern Cross survey, only one in four people felt they had any understanding of just how much they needed to save for healthcare in retirement. And of those, most vastly underestimated the actual costs
"The median amount people thought they would need was $20,000," says Southern Cross chief executive Ian McPherson. "Unfortunately this won't cover a lot over the course of a 15-year plus retirement, and much less once medical inflation is accounted for."
The cost of a new hip starts at $18,000 and a single root canal and crown could cost more than $1500.
Like other Western nations, pressure on our health system is coming from many directions, says McPherson. "We have an ageing population and proportionally fewer taxpayers to fill the public purse, a rapidly increasing incidence of chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and an increasing demand for healthcare services."
Kiwis should remember they can contribute more than the 3 per cent minimum to their KiwiSaver funds, says Vedran Babic, operations manager at Fisher Funds Management. They can still elect 4 per cent or 8 per cent, and make even more voluntary contributions.
By now, says Babic, Kiwis would have been paying 4 per cent of their income into KiwiSaver had the Government not made changes during the global financial crisis.
He points out that Australian superannuation started at just 3 per cent in 1992, and didn't increase to the current number until 10 years later. The debate over the Ditch is about how much to increase that by.
Kiwis have a long way to go. In September 2011, Australians had about A$55,000 ($68,500) per capita invested in superannuation funds and Kiwis had just $6000. "That is a direct result of Australia having compulsory Super for so long," he says.
Even if they are saving a big enough proportion of their income, many KiwiSavers are "farting into the wind" by investing their money long term in low-growth conservative funds, says Matthews.
Fisher Funds and others are lobbying the Government to change the KiwiSaver default option to "life stages" funds, which would automatically move savers' money into appropriate growth, balanced or conservative funds as they age. Babic says the exception to that could be people who planned to buy a first home within 10 years of enrolling.
Retiring on NZ Super is a financial struggle for the 40 per cent of retirees who have little or no savings. Ann Martin, chief executive of Age Concern, says NZ Super only covers the basics. "Often what happens then is that the pensioner cuts back on necessities," says Martin.
"They don't turn heating on, reduce their grocery spend and may pull back on social activities, medication and doctor visits.
"We know some older people are also spending the winter in freezing houses to keep the power bill down, [and] older people continue to tell us that looking after their teeth, eyes and ears can break the bank."
Age Concern costed the sample meal plans for older people in the Ministry of Health's Food and Nutrition Guidelines, and found households living on NZ Super alone would have to spend more than a third of their income to eat healthily.
"This would put them in food stress," says Martin. "The more likely scenario is they are cutting out fruit and vegetables in order to make ends meet."
One of the difficulties of getting the "save more" message through to KiwiSavers is that authorised financial advisers don't find it commercially viable to give advice on KiwiSaver, although that will change over time as people's accounts grow.
Nor does everyone have $5, $10 or $15 extra a week to save, says Pushpa Wood, director of the NZ Centre for Personal Financial Education at Massey University.
"There are people whose need is now and they are focused on meeting their needs now, not 20 years down the track," she says. Some people will also have other retirement savings, and perhaps a rental property or two that is slowly building up capital.
Wood says migrant communities tend to view their children as part of their retirement plan. They put money into educating their children, and in return expect to be supported financially through their retirement.

One of the neat things about applications like Google Earth and Google Maps is the ability to virtually travel to different places around the planet. Thanks to features like detailed satellite imagery and street view, we can visit millions of places while surfing the Web in our pajamas, even if the areas are off limits to most people in reality. If you're into this type of exploration, NASA has released a new book (print and digital), "Earth as Art," that features 75 amazingly beautiful terrain photos taken by satellites orbiting Earth.
The images show places like the "Himalayas, Arizona's Painted Desert, the Mississippi River Delta spreading into the Gulf of Mexico (shown above), a Saharan dune sea in Algeria, and Byrd Glacier in Antarctica," according to NASA's release. Although NASA is behind the project, the images were captured by the U.S. Geological Survey's Landsat 5 and 7 environmental satellites, in addition to NASA's Terra, Aqua, and Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) environmental satellites.
The book is available as a free downloadable PDF or as an iPad app that lets you zoom in on the images and find out more information about the images. To show off the photos at your next Tupperware party, the book is also available as a 158-page hardcover coffee table edition for $44.

By Ben Levisohn
On first glance, General Motors' (GM) earnings report yesterday gave the impression the automaker was damaged goods. Since then, analysts have looked under General Motor's hood and come up liking what they see.
Shares of General Motors finished little changed despite missing earnings forecasts by 21 cents. Ford Motor (F) gained 0.8% and Toyota Motor (TM) rose 0.3%.
Barclays' Brian Johnson and team explain why yesterday's earnings miss wasn't as bad as it looked. He explains:
Like a slightly used car with significant cosmetic damage but a working powertrain, GM's 4Q result looked worse on the outside than on the inside. Although EPS of 67c was a ~20c headline miss, the underlying result ex. headwinds from tax and one-timers was closer to a 6c miss. With GM offering cheap valuation (sub 3x '14E EBITDA), investors have asked whether the stock has been de-risked. We are hopeful that GM is through negative earnings revisions for both 1Q and 2014.
Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas and team believe that management has "tactfully reset the bar." They write:
We believe [General Motors] shares offer a better risk-reward at $35 with '14 EPS ests at $4, a 3.5% yield and no expectations of buyback than at $42 with '14 EPS ests at $5 and crowded buyback hopes. New mgmt understands the challenges ahead and has tactfully reset the bar. [General Motors] can work from here…
RBC Capital Market's Joseph Spak and team say it's time to "let the healing begin." They write:
Consensus 2014 forecasts should adjust lower, but we believe expectations have bottomed. The rebuilding phase must now begin. That could be challenging near-term with negative SAAR/inventory/share headlines, but executing through a tough 1Q14 and a stronger 2Q14 print could reignite interest. We see good longer-term value, particularly with positive mid-term outlook. Our PT goes to $48 as we prudently lower 2015 bar.
Deutsche Bank's Rod Lache and team see a far less certain future General Motors:
Overall, we must acknowledge that the [General Motors] Thesis has clearly changed. The trajectory to mid-decade targets (i.e. 10% margins in NA, Break-even in Europe, 5% margin in other regions) is further out and involves more risk than we had thought just 3-months ago. And catalysts are less well defined (though we believe that strong NA EBIT (may hit 10% qtrly margin in the near-term), mkt share, inventory trends, and buyback announcements will be helpful).
We have tested our earnings and cash flow assumptions under a variety of different scenarios and believe that risk/reward is very favorable…Based on a 10% free cash flow yield that many investors use as a bear case for valuation (i.e. valuation becomes compelling at this level), this implies that a downside case for [General Motors'] shares should be in the $33-$36 range. And we'd note that [General Motors'] dividend yield of 3.4% provides some benefit for holding the shares on the upside/downside risk basis.
Shares of General Motors have gained 1.6% to $35.78, while Ford Motor has risen 0.9% to $14.99, Toyota Motor has advanced 0.8% to $116.84 and Honda Motor (HMC) is up 1.5% at $36.43.

11.3: Earth History and Clues from Fossils
Seashells at 20,000 feet!
On his voyage on the Beagle, Charles Darwin noticed many things besides just the Galapagos finches that made him famous. Another important discovery was shell beds high in the Andes Mountains. How did they get there? He determined that they must mean that mountains rise slowly above the ocean, an idea that was being championed at the time by Charles Lyell. If this is the case, Darwin reasoned, the mountains and Earth must be extremely old.
Clues from Fossils
Fossils are our best form of evidence about Earth history, including the history of life. Along with other geological evidence from rocks and structures, fossils even give us clues about past climates, the motions of plates, and other major geological events. Since the present is the key to the past, what we know about a type of organism that lives today can be applied to past environments.
History of Life on Earth
That life on Earth has changed over time is well illustrated by the fossil record. Fossils in relatively young rocks resemble animals and plants that are living today. In general, fossils in older rocks are less similar to modern organisms. We would know very little about the organisms that came before us if there were no fossils. Modern technology has allowed scientists to reconstruct images and learn about the biology of extinct animals like dinosaurs!
Environment of Deposition
By knowing something about the type of organism the fossil was, geologists can determine whether the region was terrestrial (on land) or marine (underwater) or even if the water was shallow or deep. The rock may give clues to whether the rate of sedimentation was slow or rapid. The amount of wear and fragmentation of a fossil allows scientists to learn about what happened to the region after the organism died; for example, whether it was exposed to wave action.
Geologic History
The presence of marine organisms in a rock indicates that the region where the rock was deposited was once marine. Sometimes fossils of marine organisms are found on tall mountains indicating that rocks that formed on the seabed were uplifted.
By knowing something about the climate a type of organism lives in now, geologists can use fossils to decipher the climate at the time the fossil was deposited. For example, coal beds form in tropical environments but ancient coal beds are found in Antarctica. Geologists know that at that time the climate on the Antarctic continent was much warmer. Recall from Concept Plate Tectonics that Wegener used the presence of coal beds in Antarctica as one of the lines of evidence for continental drift.
Index Fossils
An index fossil can be used to identify a specific period of time. Organisms that make good index fossils are distinctive, widespread, and lived briefly. Their presence in a rock layer can be used to identify rocks that were deposited at that period of time over a large area.
The fossil of a juvenile mammoth found near downtown San Jose California reveals an enormous amount about these majestic creatures: what they looked like, how they lived, and what the environment of the Bay Area was like so long ago.

- Fossils tell a lot about the environment during the time they were deposited.
- Climate is one important thing that can be indicated by fossils since organisms have specific conditions in which they can live.
- An index fossil must be distinctive, widespread and short-lived so that it can identify a specific period of time.

5. What has been discovered from these fossils?
1. How does a single fossil or set of fossils help geologists to decipher the geological history of an area?
2. How is an index fossil used to identify a time period?
3. Why are the fossils of marine organisms sometimes found in rock units at the tops of high mountains? What evidence would you look for to determine if this reason is plausible?

The position is great, you are in the heart of the city.
The flat is conveniently located and within walking distance from the old town, the cathedral, museum... and of course the shopping area!
Mercado de Olivar is just a two minutes walking, there you can buy a good food or stop for a quick aperitiv.
You can eat in one of the many typical (or even not) restaurants that can be found everywhere downtown, and at night enjoy a sangria in a good and lively bar...
Also don't miss the Ruta Martiana every Thursday!
1 small beer and 1 tapas for 1 euro!
The sea is just a ten minutes walk away.
If you like biking it is possible to rent bike and ride on the long cycling way,which is flanked by the sea. Rental facilities are located close to Plaza de España. You can also use the same cycling way for running or skating, or, if you prefer, just to have e relaxing walk.
Just across the street there are the main bus and train stations.
With bus line number 1 you travel to the airport in 20 minutes for 3 euro.
By bus almost every part of the island can be reached, you can also take the old and typical train to Soller in the northern part of Mallorca.
If you prefer to rent a car, there are many underground parking possibilities, where it is also possible to buy a long term parking card, or a daily one.
Parking in the street is free of charge everyday between 20 and 9 and also 14.30 and 16.00.
Saturday from 14.30 until Monday at 9.00.
This information is only valid for parking space close to Plaza de España, on other areas around the island different conditions apply.
숙소규정Smoking free apartment, adults only. You will have access to the kitchen, but we don't allow guest to use the kitchen to prepare meals. Preparation of light snacks like sandwiches is fine however.

The room and bathroom were really clean. We also had bath and beach towels. Air conditioner was in the room. Nice terrace. Unfortunately you can hear everything what happens in the whole flat (phone calls, cooking, taking a shower in the next rooms). If there is no problem for you to share a flat with other people i would recommend this apartment.
There is also no place to park the car.
Our stay in Palma was wonderful and when we come back, then only in this perfect location. Thank you, it was very nice with you. Evelyn and Uli
The room was big, nice and clean. We had our on terrace and bathroom. It is not loud and in Front of the house are nie cafes to ist and have bream fast or a drink. Good choice!
The location is perfect, just step out of the bus from the airport (3 euro) and in a few steps you are in your room. From there you can walk directly into the old city or if you want to discover more of Mallorca, just take the bus, train or subway since the main station is for your door, where you also can rent a bike or car. An open daily market is in front of your door these included a (fresh) bakery stand and lots more.
A welcoming surprise for us was the big bottle of water on the room, just what we needed after a long trip. The water cooker, coffee and thee to use make it all complete. The room is very private and so is the bathroom and the terrace directly at your room. The big bed has a really good matrass and lovely pillows to have a wonderful sleep at night and wake up fit as a fiddle. Further all is very nice and creative decorated, we liked it very much.
What about eating, dine out in the city, just ask Elena for tips, she has a good feeling where to go for the real thing, not just touristic. A big market-hall (Mercat Olivar) is walking a few meters and another very nice local market you can find at the east side of the railway station, a 10 minute walk away where you are in the middle of the locals who are buying there fresh (local) food, clothing an so on. (Pere Garau Market)
Thanks again Elena, we had a great time at your place!
Es hat alles wunderbar geklappt, von der Schlüsselübergabe bis zur Abreise.

text: Like the title says I have a 7 month old BLF that is gagging and choking during her water retrieves. She's been doing this since she started swimming at about 4 months old. She's also swallowing air to the point you can see her sides pooched out. One good belch and you can see them go back down. My question is will she out grow this? This is my fourth lab and I've never seen one do this so I'm getting pretty concerned. I originally thought she would out grow it but here we are at 7 months old and she's still doing it. Its like she hasn't figured out to breath through her nose(or however they do it). It hasn't affected her drive to water retrieve but I'm afraid it could. Could it? She does the same thing with a 3" bumper but she does much better when she has a duck in her mouth. Should I keep swimming her to let her learn? Right now we swim probably 3-4 times a week. I've been doing short retrieves,20 yards max but most of them 10-15 just trying to let her learn how to swim with a bumper/bird. Thoughts or suggestions.

Tickets no longer available for Morrison reading, Nov. 4
Posted October 21, 2003; 10:21 a.m.
Tickets are no longer available for Toni Morrison's reading from her newest novel, "Love," at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
The Richardson box office began distributing free tickets to University ID holders on Oct. 21, and the supply was depleted by Oct. 23.
Morrison, the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities at Princeton, is the author of seven previous novels and the recipient of major international honors. Awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1993, she was the first African-American winner and the first woman to win since 1938. She also won the 2000 National Humanities Medal for her contributions to American cultural life and thought, the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for "Beloved" and the National Book Critics Award in 1977 for "Song of Solomon." Her other novels include "The Bluest Eye," "Sula," "Tar Baby," "Jazz" and "Paradise."
In addition to enriching the field of literature, Morrison has created collaborative works with artists in other disciplines, including Kathleen Battle, Bill T. Jones, Andre Previn, Richard Danielpour and Jessye Norman. This kind of collaboration inspired her to create the Princeton Atelier, where students and artists from different media create works that are then performed or exhibited.
The Nov. 4 reading is sponsored by the Council of the Humanities and the Program in African-American Studies .

I just put two Dually lights on my rear bumper to help unloading my boat in the darks.
I also reaplced my two MudBuddy lights on the bow of my duck boat with an E-Series 10 inch light bar.
These lights are pricey, but their quality is excellent. The light output is far above the regualr lights that I've been using with decreased draw on the battery. I had two people stop me after the hunt last weekend and ask what kind of light was on the front of my boat.

Chuck Schuldiner: Lust for Life
He called his band Death, but Chuck Schuldiner loved life, family and the most brutal metal imaginable. On the tenth anniversary of his passing, Guitar World celebrates death metal's pioneer and spiritual guide.
It was early 2001 when Chuck Schuldiner's headaches returned. Over the past year, he had begun to feel like his old self again—remarkable, considering that, just one year before, the death metal guitarist had nearly died. In early January 2000, doctors in New York City had managed to remove more than half of a cancerous tumor dangerously nestled at the base of his brain. Months of physical therapy followed while he recovered at home, in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
Chuck had never liked being far from home, away from his family and the Orlando suburb where he'd grown up with his sister Beth and brother Frank. This was where he thrived, where he drew inspiration for the melodies that tempered the jagged shards of music he had crafted for Death, the band with which he pioneered the ferociously manic sounds of the death metal genre in the mid Eighties. And indeed, back home following surgery, Chuck had begun to craft a fresh batch of songs for his new group, Control Denied.
"We spent the summer of 2000 rehearsing and recording demos of the new songs," recalls Richard Christy. "It was fun, and Chuck was doing really well." Though familiar to many as a cast member of the Howard Stern Show since 2004, Christy is also a professional drummer who is best known for his work with Iced Earth, Death and Control Denied. At the time of the 2000 recording sessions, Christy had known Chuck for only a few years, but the two men were as close as brothers. "We were both passionate about metal, and we loved to go to the same bars in Orlando and hang out," he explains.
"But basically what it came down to was that we made each other laugh. We would do prank calls together in the middle of practice. He had this dog that used to make this weird face when it was happy, and it would snort like a pig. So when me and Chuck were happy, we'd snort like pigs."
As the end of 2000 approached, there was much to be happy about. Chuck was strong and back at work on his music. His new songs sounded great and continued to build upon the technical and progressive metal of Control Denied's 1999 debut, The Fragile Art of Existence.
"And then we went into the studio," recalls Christy. "And his health problems started coming back."

Oh POTUS regs, and all. I have an assignment for you.
I would like you to think about and answer this question.
"Why do we "Nation Build"?"
The "we" is The United States of America.
And before we start,
Franco, I know….. Really I do know….. I know what your about to type. I know you know that I know that you know the election is over. And everyone knows the policy of the party you so proudly champion.
We know.
This is not a party question. It is a policy and if anything a philosophy question. Please pretend your speaking to a space alien or foreign exchange student.
Why do we Nation Build?
Go as deep back as you like. When did it start? What did we do? The why behind it.
I have a ruff draft of my answer rolling round in my head. I'll firm it up on the morrow still hunting for white tail deer with my Dad and Brother.
Paper and desks are for wimps.
Give it some thought and tell us what you think.

Family: Anatidae, Ducks and Geese view all from this family
Dimensions Length: 20 1/2 -22" (52-56 cm)
Endangered Status The Spectacled Eider is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Alaska. The Alaska population, which breeds on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, has declined rapidly, as much as 95 percent, in recent years. The reasons are unknown, but some factors may be an increase in predators relative to eider numbers and the ingestion of lead shot. Some other duck species plummeted in number because of overhunting, and it is possible that predators turned to eiders for sustenance. The wintering sites of the Spectacled Eider, openings in the ice in the frozen Bering Sea, were not discovered until 1995. Surveys made then ensured biologists that these birds still existed in number worldwide, even though the Alaska breeding population had crashed.
Range Alaska
Discussion Bulky seaduck. Recalls Common Eider, but all birds have a dark-framed, pale "spectacle" surrounding eye. In male it is white on an otherwise mostly lime-green head; the bill is pink. In female, it is pale gray-buff and contrasts with the otherwise brown, finely patterned plumage; the bill is gray. High Arctic, Alaskan specialty, wintering in Bering Sea.

In the Princeton University class "Ecology: Species Interactions, Biodiversity and Society," taught by Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Robert Pringle, undergraduates study how wild organisms interact with each other, the environment and humans. The students' final projects are animated videos that explain a local environmental issue.

Animating science: Student videos explain ecological challenges
Posted March 17, 2014; 12:00 p.m.
Conveying science to a broad audience in a way that is understandable, accurate and entertaining is an important — and challenging — task. Last semester, Princeton University students in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology got a chance to try their hand at that skill, creating animated short videos that focused on a wide variety of ecological challenges.
In the class "Ecology: Species Interactions, Biodiversity and Society," undergraduates studied how wild organisms interact with each other in relation to their physical environments and human society. For their final projects, they were divided into small groups to translate a local environmental issue, such as extinction or species invasions. Students decided what information to include in creative and informative videos.
This was the second time that Robert Pringle, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, taught the class. The first time, the final projects were more conventional, with written reports and PowerPoint presentations.
This year, said Pringle, "we wanted to try something a little different."
"The Bog Turtle," about a local endangered species, is one of the videos produced by students in the class "Ecology: Species Interactions, Biodiversity and Society." (Video by Jonathan Choi, Victor Pomary and Raymond Wu, Princeton University)
Thirteen teams created projects on topics including why bog turtles are endangered, why bee colonies are suffering from colony collapse disorder, the importance of eelgrass restoration and the characteristics that make Norway maples an invasive species. All of the final videos can be viewed on the class's YouTube channel.
The student-produced video "Colony Collapse Disorder" is about the recent phenomenon of bee colony collapses. (Video by Aaron Ladd, Katie Grabowski and Renata Diaz, Princeton University)
The inspiration for this type of final project came from a blog called CreatureCast, published by researchers at Brown University and originally funded in part by the National Science Foundation to convey complex scientific ideas to the general public.
"The public are the people who vote, and they're the people who fund scientific research," Pringle said. "So if we don't find a way to report the science back to the public, then the system is broken."
The students tackled the challenge well, Pringle said.
"The students were good at seeing the big picture. I think they had good intuition for what is the essential background, and what is too much information," he said. "I was very impressed with what the students accomplished for this project. And they seemed to enjoy it."

CAFE Practices Feedback
General Feedback on Starbucks' Preferred Supplier Program/ CAFE Practices
Submitted to Starbucks by Global Exchange on March 8, 2004
Strengthen the Baseline (Baseline = Conditions required to meet the 1 Point level and Criteria designated as performance at minimum level required")
Raise the baseline according to Global Exchange's point-by-point feedback. Essential factors include a fair and stable income and affordable credit for small-scale/family farms and cooperatives; access to basic education and health care; self-sufficient community development; a living wage and the right to organize for plantation workers; use of environmentally-sustainable methods in growing and processing; and supporting educational opportunity over child labor. The highest standards in the PSP should harmonize with FLO, Organic, and Shade-grown guidelines. This will ensure the highest level of responsibility in coffee purchasing and allow producers to move between these systems without additional verifications or costs,

GigapanMagazine.org vol 3 issue 2
Chartered in 1845, here is established Harrisburg's oldest and largest Cemetery, with period Carpenter Gothic-styled caretaker's house, as the final resting place of many noted individuals of national, state and local importance. Soldiers from all American Wars, including the Revolutionary War (reinterred) and Civil War, as well as Confederate prisoners from the Battle of Gettysburg who died in Harrisburg hospitals, are reposed here. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the 30-acre Harrisburg Cemetery is one of the few cemeteries in Pennsylvania to hold such a distinction.

Carpenter Gothic-styled caretaker's house was completed and remains to this day in its original form with floor plan in the sign of a cross. In all actually It was originally an X with one of the ends extended at a later time giving it the cross you see today. I lived in the house for approximately 13 years.

Kickboxing Needs to Bring Their Content to the Fans Featured
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Kickboxing is a frustrating sport sometimes. There, I said it.
Kickboxing has been struggling to find its identity over the past few years. That might seem like a bit of an ominous statement, but when you look at how many different organizations we've seen in different mediums, how many star Kickboxers we've seen retire or rise to prominence, or how many we've seen languish in smaller promotions you'll see what I'm talking about. Right now is an interesting transition period for the sport of Kickboxing and a vital time for the sport where it could either grow to be huge or it could fail and return to obscurity. How that product gets to the fans is probably the most vital part of the sport right now, even more important than the quality of the fights themselves.
The landscape right now is like this; GLORY airs on Spike TV in the United States and then has various, smaller television deals throughout Europe and Asia. K-1 is currently attempting to negotiate television deals while providing free streams via their website. SuperKombat airs on EuroSport and a few smaller networks in different spots in the world. Enfusion is in a similar spot to SuperKombat. Then there are various, regional Kickboxing events that get solid coverage locally but not much anywhere else.
Like I've been saying, it's a very strange and fragmented sport for the time being. There are talks of GLORY considering moving some select, bigger events to PPV here in the United States, starting with GLORY 17. It would probably be in the vein of the UFC model, where the prelims would be on Spike TV and the main card on PPV, which is fine, the only issue is that PPV as a medium is a dying one. The concept of Pay-Per-View in the United States began in the 50's but came to prominence in the 70's and 80's when Boxing took a shine to the concept of selling live broadcasts of big fights through cable systems.
By the time that PPV networks started popping up in the 80's and 90's it became a new way to deliver live content into homes with minimal effort while reaping insane benefits. Boxing, Professional Wrestling and later on, MMA became staples in the PPV world. Movies were still the main source of income for PPV, but these special events helped to make PPV a success. The thing is, the landscape in 2014 has changed, drastically, to the point where paying $40-$70 to watch one event for three hours no longer appeals to a world that is connected via the internet with everything at the user's fingertips.
Where most Kickboxing promotions overlap is their use of internet PPVs. Internet PPVs are fine and serve their purpose, but instill very little consumer confidence due to varying quality, buffering times/delays as well as being forced to watch an event on a computer as opposed to in a living room, on the couch, on a television. There will always be hardcore fans who just want to watch the stuff no matter what time or method of delivery, but nobody likes internet PPVs.
The question that I'm posing now is this; where do we go from here? The best method of reaching the world with your product and making the most money seems to be to get a solid television deal that pays good money. The thing is with Kickboxing, that doesn't really exist right now, especially while the market is attempting to grow. GLORY is in the strongest position right now, but you'd be surprised to hear about how GLORY and Spike TV interact or the kind of money that comes in from airing on Spike TV. In a way, it makes sense, because the GLORY brand is not super established and is still endearing itself -- as well as the sport as a whole -- to fans who are not as familiar with it as they should be.
What I'm trying to say here is that if GLORY, the world leader for the sport, is having issues with securing a huge television deal with a supportive (note the word supportive) television partner, where does that leave the rest of the sport? This week Enfusion's new website (http://www.enfusionlive.com/) went live in the United States (it launched last week in Europe) and while it is still far from perfect, the EnfusionLIVE site shows a certain level of forward thinking that we've yet to see from the Kickboxing world. The new Enfusion site is a 24/7 streaming network that shows a steady stream of Enfusion events from their library of events. This means EnfusionLIVE events, Fighting Rookies events and Enfusion Reality shows.
Like I said, it's not perfect yet. There is no schedule available on the site (they have been posting a channel guide on their Facebook daily, for what that is worth), there is no app available on multiple platforms so you can watch it on a television and there is no VOD library. That being said, it does remind me a bit of the recently-launched WWE Network. The WWE Network is an incredibly-forward thinking product by WWE that includes a 24/7 network, a VOD library and is available on just about every kind of set-top box and game console known to man right now. It also costs $10 a month and includes live PPV events which in the past cost between $40-$70. The idea behind the WWE Network is that PPV buys have declined over the past few years, but piracy of streams on the internet is sky high, so why not offer a Netflix-like product for cheap and aim for over a million subscribers and make the same, if not more money than with the PPV model?
Granted, it wasn't WWE's original plan. Their original plan was to host a cable network of their own that would house all of their programming, much like HBO. It's unclear if it would also include an HBO Go-like product like we see now, but whatever the case, WWE fans won in the end with the WWE Network. UFC quickly followed suit with Fight Pass, although Fight Pass offers a bit less and has been a lot more poorly-received by critics. What is clear from this is that the sports and entertainment worlds are seeing that there are people who are willing to pay a small sum to access products via unconventional means and that these unconventional means could become the standard in just a short time. It could also be incredibly profitable.
For now television is still king, but when it comes to innovation within the Kickboxing space, Enfusion took the first step, which provides them a rather unique position within the crowded marketplace. Both GLORY and K-1 have good-sized fight libraries but as of right now K-1 has nothing available for the public and GLORY has a rather pricy subscription service to access their VOD library. I'm not sure that anyone is knocking down doors to pay $30 a month to access old It's Showtime events.
The sport of Kickboxing always seems to be a step behind, but in this case, it feels like Enfusion is thinking for the now, which is something that the big names should be taking a look at. The internet's reach right now is just about everywhere, so why not take full advantage of it to promote your events and fighters? As I've been saying, television will always be king, but as technology advances so should sports and the way that they reach their fans. Fans in the US who have been unable to view Enfusion events in the past now have the ability to watch whatever Enfusion is pumping to them and will probably gain a few new fans where there were no fans. To me, that feels like progress.

- Masturbation means touching your own genitals for sexual pleasure.
- Most people masturbate, even if they don't talk about it.
- Masturbation is a normal and healthy way to learn what feels good.
- There's no chance of getting pregnant or an STD from masturbating.
Expand All
Is masturbation bad?
No way. Masturbation can't make you blind, crazy, or stupid. It can't damage your body or stunt your growth. In fact, masturbation can actually be good for you.
- Masturbation is safer than any other type of sex — there's no chance of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Masturbation is the best way for you to learn what you like and don't like. If you decide to have sex with someone, knowing how you like to be touched can help you give them some direction.
- It releases stress. Many people masturbate to relax. Some people even find it helps them fall asleep.
- Orgasms — no matter how they happen — can act as a natural painkiller and even help with period cramps. (And it's more fun than taking an aspirin!)
- Mutual masturbation (masturbating with a partner) is a great way to have safer sex while showing the other person what feels nice. (If you share an object, like a sex toy, you want to make sure to use condoms and clean it before swapping.)
So can you masturbate too much? Here's the bottom line on that: As long as it doesn't get in the way of going to school, work, and kicking it with your friends and family, you don't have to worry about doing it "too much."
Who masturbates?
Most people masturbate. Guys masturbate. Girls masturbate. Single people and people in relationships masturbate. Some people masturbate a couple times a day, some only every once in a while. It's also completely normal if your girlfriend or boyfriend masturbates (or wants to masturbate) — it doesn't mean you're not enough, and it doesn't mean they're not into you.
But of course, you should only masturbate if you want to. Some people never do, and that's totally fine, too.
Can I get an STD from masturbating?
Masturbation is a good way to have sex without the risk of STDs. But if you masturbate using an object (like a sex toy) that you share with someone else, there's a risk of STDs.
So if you share a sex toy with someone else that touches the vagina, anus, or penis, treat it like you would treat genitals — put a condom on it! Use a new condom for each partner — and for each part of the body.
What should I do if someone catches me masturbating?
Masturbating is private, and it can be embarrassing when someone catches you. But you know what? Chances are, they've masturbated too.
If someone walks in on you masturbating, it's probably a good time to talk with them about privacy. Getting past the embarrassment and talking with them about it might open the door for conversations about privacy and sex in the future, whether it's your parents, other family members, roommates, or friends.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DRM
Today, the EFF and a coalition of organizations and individuals asked the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to explore fair labeling rules that would require retailers to warn you when the products you buy come locked down by DRM ("Digital Rights Management" or "Digital Restrictions Management").
These digital locks train your computerized devices to disobey you when you ask them to do things the manufacturer didn't specifically authorize -- even when those things are perfectly legal. Companies that put digital locks on their products -- ebook, games and music publishers, video companies, companies that make hardware from printers to TVs to cat litter trays -- insist that DRM benefits their customers, by allowing the companies to offer products at a lower price by taking away some of the value -- you can "rent" an ebook or a movie, or get a printer at a price that only makes sense if you also have to buy expensive replacement ink.
Last weekend EFF took part in the Eleventh Hackers On Planet Earth (HOPE) conference in New York City and got to meet so many of our wonderful supporters. We've collected the HOPE talks given by EFF staff below, with the official program abstract, video, and where applicable, the original slides. Once you're done watching those, you can also try your hand at our Capture The Flag competition—the challenges are still up at https://eff-ctf.org, even though the contest is over.
Keynote Address
Cory Doctorow
The World Wide Web Consortium has published a "Candidate Recommendation" for Encrypted Media Extensions, a pathway to DRM for streaming video.
A large community of security researchers and public interest groups have been alarmed by the security implications of baking DRM into the HTML5 standard. That's because DRM -- unlike all the other technology that the W3C has ever standardized — enjoys unique legal protection under a tangle of international laws, like the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Canada's Bill C-11, and EU laws that implement Article 6 of the EUCD.
What is EFF worried about?
The W3C effort to standardize Encrypted Media Extensions (EME, part of the Media Extensions Working Group) marks a new era in W3C standardization. For the first time, implementations of a W3C standard will be covered by "anti-circumvention" laws such as the Section 1201 of the US DMCA; European laws that implement Article 6 of the EUCD; and Canada's Bill C-11.
These laws have been used by companies and rightsholders to threaten security and privacy researchers who came forward to report defects in their products. These laws may also create legal risks for entities who independently implement EME-compatible systems.
Until recently, it was uncontroversial that you could take books or music from your collection, and lend them, sell them, or give them away.
Rightsholders, however, have long tried creative ways to restrict your ability to do these things, as they believe it would let them make more money by either charging you for the privilege or simply by reducing "competition" from the sale or lending of used media.
Of course, making media less valuable for the purchaser would also hurt sales of that same media, but only if the reduction in value is apparent to purchasers. A seller could both maintain high prices and strip away the ability to resell or lend books if enough purchasers don't notice at the time of sale that they're getting less for their money.

COLUMBUS/MADISON—Margaret E. Barnhart age 86, formerly of Columbus, died on Thursday, January 31, 2013 at Hyland Park, Fitchburg. She was born on June 14, 1926 in the Methodist Parsonage in Reedsburg to Rev. Thomas and Lizette (Alt) Beavin. Margaret graduated as Valedictorian from Richland Center High School in 1944 and was a 1945 graduate of the Milwaukee Business School. She was employed at the Wood VA Hospital in Milwaukee as a Medical Secretary. Margaret was married to Kermit Barnhart on August 28, 1948 in Richland Center. In addition to working as a homemaker and raising her three children, Margaret was very active in her church, both as a member of the United Methodist Women and serving as church librarian. In her spare time, she collected angels, crafted the art of calligraphy, and was an avid reader. Margaret also researched and organized genealogy on both sides of the family and was a lifetime Badger, Packer and Brewer fan. Family gatherings were always a highlight for Margaret and gave her many happy memories.
Survivors include her husband of 64 years, Kermit of Fitchburg; one daughter, Edee (Mike) Woerdehoff of Oregon, WI; two sons, Kirk of Kaukauna, WI and Kent (Karen) of Cartersville, GA; two granddaughters, Erin (Dave) Harley and Meghan (David) Gansauge; three grandsons, Kyle, Kristopher and Kevin Barnhart; three great grandchildren, Allycen, Olivia and William Harley; a brother, Bart (Helen) Beavin of Ann Arbor, MI; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Kathryn (Gilbert) Terman and Dorothy (Clarence) Gorman; one brother Paul (Kathleen Barnhart) Beavin.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Sunday, February 3, 2013 at the COLUMBUS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, Columbus. Pastor Ray Field and Pastor Jim Cotter will officiate. Interment will be in the Richland Center Cemetery, Richland Center. Visitation will be from 1:00 P.M. until 2:00 P.M. at the church on Sunday. Memorials may be directed to the Columbus United Methodist Church or Agrace HospiceCare Inc., Fitchburg.
The family expresses their heartfelt thank you to Dr. C. Elizabeth Perry and staff of UW Health Clinics, the Agrace HospiceCare Team and the Hyland Park Assisted Living staff for their compassionate caring and assistance in keeping Margaret at home with her beloved husband.

By Michaela Gibson Morris / NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Visitors to the North Mississippi Medical Center Emergency Department have paused for pictures largely without problems.
The ER implemented an ID badge system for visitors in early February, and the reception has been generally positive, said Bill Ricketts, emergency department nurse manager.
"It doesn't delay patient care at all," Ricketts said. "It takes family members five to 30 seconds."
The system helps clearly identify visitors and limit the number of authorized visitors, Ricketts said. Normally, that's two people per patient; the entire hospital is currently on a one-visitor limit because of the high level of influenza.
"It's a safer environment for visitors, patients and staff members," Ricketts said.
The procedure is straightforward and quick. ER visitors will come by the reception desk and present their driver's license, military or state ID and identify themselves and the patient they want to visit. The ER staff swipe it and the computer pulls in the name and ID expiration date.
"It doesn't capture any other information," Ricochet said.
The front desk staff take a quick picture of the visitor and print out a badge on a sticker with the person's name, the patient's ER room number and telephone number. Family members can swap in and out as many times as they like to stay within the visitor guidelines, Ricketts said.
The ER allows children 12 and up to visit; however, the children won't be photographed. They will receive a badge that says child visitor with ER room number as well as the picture and name of the adult accompanying them, Ricketts said. It helps the staff and security reunite children who become separated during the visit.
The badge automatically expires after three hours. Visitors who are coming in and out of the restricted area will need to stop back by the ER front desk to refresh their badge after three hours.
Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and other hospitals around the country have used this same system to protect patient privacy and improve safety, and Ricketts expects it will become widely used over the next several years.
"We want to be ahead of the curve," Ricketts said.

Eric Blumrich, also known as Fkafka and Mr. Ploppy, is a cartoonist, illustrator and Flash animator active in the furry fandom throughout the 80′s and 90′s. He currently resides in Montclair, New Jersey. In his spare time, he works for peace and justice issues.
Blumrich is an accomplished artist. During the time he was working in the furry genre, he had a distinctive, angular cartoon style of figure drawing, with Tom Verre's work as an early influence. It was a style that emphasized pointed muzzles, ears and cheekbones, and particularly suited jackals, foxes, cats, and rats. His inked black-and-white pieces featured intricate and striking cross-hatching and stippling. Rarer color works were rendered using watercolors.
He was a Yerf artist, and briefly shared accommodations with web comic artist and illustrator Scotty Arsenault.
In addition, he worked as a concept artist for "Inherit the Earth" (a "furry" PC video-game), and participated in the inking, and/or coloring of a dozen comics, all of which were rightfully ignored, as they were poorly published by fly-by-night indie chophouses.
Eric Blumrich's only break into the mainstream of publishing came, when he was asked to paint "The Hemp 100″ for High Times Magazine, in 1992. The result was disappointing, for all involved.
Blumrich continued making his presence known in the fandom by hanging around both Pro and Con online Furry sites until the date of September 11, 2001. 16 hours later after the tragic incident of 9-11, he would fatefully write in the Yerf newsgroup Yerf.yap the post that would push his fourth in command in the Burned Fur movement, Peter "Hangdog" Schorn, to threaten in writing to kill Blumrich "with his bare hands," this was to be the signal of the beginning of the end of the Burned Furs, and with it, Eric's involvement in it and the Furry Fandom.

Bleeding during pregnancy
I was able to encounter bleeding during my 7th month of pregnancy. I felt pain and can hardly move when I start to lie down on bed. Isn't it dangerous? What will be the possible cause of this and what will I take or do to stop the bleeding and to stop the pain?
29th May 2012 10:55 PM #2
If you are bleeding in the 7 month of pregnancy you should call your midwife straight away or go to the emergency department in the hospital.
Whilst many causes of bleeding during pregnancy turn out to be minor problems, a more serious problem (such as placenta previa) needs to be ruled out.
I don't want to worry you but it is best at act promptly if you experience bleeding and significant pain at this stage in pregnancy.
With best wishes,
2nd June 2012 01:26 PM #3
Hi Sara,
Please post back and let us know if you are still bleeding or experiencing pain, and if you talked to your doctor or midwife.
Warm regards,

hi miss kate,
i was not able to go to the doctor yet but i will go to see her tomorrow for consultation.
2nd June 2012 02:59 PM #5
Can you tell me how much you are bleeding? Are you soaking a pad and having to change to another pad?
You may want to rest all day today, only getting up to use the bathroom. It's important to protect yourself and your baby until you can see the doctor. It may not be anything to be concerned about, as many women have a little bleeding during their pregnancies without any problem, but we want to take care as much as possible until you're able to see the doctor.
Warm regards,

its not that worst ms. kate. i observed that if i don't do house chores and just relax, i can only see blood spots on my pad.
3rd June 2012 12:25 AM #7
The fact that your bleeding slows when you just relax is a very good sign, and your doctor may suggest bed rest for the rest of your pregnancy. I'm not saying that she will, I'm just saying that if it is the best thing for controlling the bleeding, it is a possibility. She may have other suggestions.
I will ask our resident midwife, Jane, to take a look at this post to see if she has any other suggestions. So glad to hear that you will be seeing your doctor tomorrow.
Warm regards,
12th June 2012 07:31 AM #8
Hi Sarejed21 - I apologise for the lateness of my reply. How did you go at your doctor's appointment? If you experience bleeding in late pregnancy call your doctor or hospital to let them know what is going on so they can provide advise. Often they want to see you straight away.

Dear Sara,
Thank you for your update. I'm glad you were able to see your doctor and I hope you can now get lots of rest for the remainder of your pregnancy.
Please let us know if we can help support you further.

I need to update my Photoshop Elements 3.0. In shopping online, I can get Elements and Premire 9.0 for $111.70 or Elements 7.0 and a Bamboo Craft and Elements 7.0 for $109.00. The real deciding factor for me is probably whether the differences between 9.0 and 7.0 are significant, because I am leaning toward the tablet. But, I am a little concerned with not getting the newest software as I like to wait forever to update (obviously, as I am still using 3.0 and all the coolest acions aren't compatable with it). What do the most knowlegeable scrapgirls in the universe think?
Bamboo With Elements 7 Or Elements 9?

There is a great difference between 7 and 9. 9 is so much much better. But a tablet is lots of fun. Hard call.
Elisha Barnett
Posted 11 March 2011 - 10:21 PM
I agree with Elisha. It's a tough call. I think if I had to make a choice, I would go the the Elements 9 and then just start saving for the tablet. That's just my personal opinion though.
Posted 11 March 2011 - 10:30 PM
I highly recommend PSE 9!! (Although I made the switch from PSE5, so I had lots of incentive to upgrade and lots of new features to learn...not sure how much difference is between versions 7 & 9).

Very misleading-not recommended
Posted by 5275764006935021909 on Oct 05, 2013
The image shows as a sponge on the end of the brush. However, this brush head plastic area is too big to fit a lot of bottles. It's as big as the sponge. so if you have a bottle that has a small opening(such as Medela) you will not be able to use this. Even for those that can put the brush head in, the plastic is too big and sponge is too hard to clean hard-to-reach areas. Waste of money. Buy other soft sponge brushes.

not super impressed
Posted by 5017061266756677207 on Mar 15, 2014
Unfortunately, I'm having to EP & bottle feed about 90% of the time. Comparing to it's ~$3-4 counterparts, I can't say I'm super impressed with the ~$10 Born Free brush, although I still love my BF bottles. The brush does have a unique nipple cleaner, that you don't have to unscrew constantly with wet hands (like Munchkin) but does not have any attachment that cleans thoroughly the BF vent system parts, so I still have to use two brushes to properly clean the bottles. Additionally, the sponge head doesn't fit down in my Medela bottles, so when I have a large pile of dishes at the end of the day, I find I don't use it much at all.

Whether you've heard a little or a lot about colon cleansing, there are some facts about this natural process you should know. An article published this week in the national news would have you believe the alleged "side effects" of colon cleansing far outweigh any benefits, or that there is really no need for cleansing at all. Let's take a look at the facts.
Our Dirty, Not-So-Little Secret
Not even the traditional medical community would disagree that our increasingly polluted environment is exposing us to more dangerous toxins than ever before. Chemical pollution is an unavoidable reality—from air pollution to the chemicals present in our homes, the goods we consume, and our water supply. Our lungs, digestive system, kidneys, liver, lymphatic and vascular systems are now working overtime to filter and eliminate contaminants from our body to keep us healthy. Even a top-notch cleaning crew needs support.
Natural + Natural = Big Benefit
This common sense formula refers to the combination of natural colon cleansing herbs with your body's natural cleansing processes. Ancient Chinese medicine has long used herbs that support bodily functions to help restore balance and health. The medical community, however, largely ignores herbal remedies. This simply isn't their arena and they have no power of regulation over natural supplements.
Colon Hydrotherapy and Colon Cleansing
Colon hydrotherapy is the process of safely irrigating the colon with warm water to remove fecal matter and gas. Colon hydrotherapy can be an excellent jumping off point for initiating healthy weight loss and detoxification. Seek out an experienced and trained colon hydrotherapist and rest assured that prescription devices are required in the U.S. for this procedure.
Herbal colon cleansing through the use of carefully formulated supplements helps extend the cleansing cycle, flush toxins and waste from the body, and boost energy. The ingredients in these formulas are selected for their time-honored detoxification actions, vital organ support, and their safe, established use among the public.
Do Your Herbal Homework
The more you learn about natural herbs the better informed you'll be when considering a cleanse. The FDA requires that each herbal ingredient be listed on supplement packages in their specific amounts. A wealth of information exists online and in print detailing these ingredients' natural sources and health benefits.
The national news article that debunks colon cleansing as "not so healthy" spotlights extreme, uninformed cases. The reality is that cleansing very rarely produces any "side effects" and has a long history of safe and effective use.

COLUMBUS — Columbus police have arrested a man in the alleged rape of a woman on the Mississippi University for Women campus in August.
The Commercial Dispatch reports 26-year-old Jamarrell Brandon was arrested on Monday and charged with one count sexual battery.
Maridith Geuder, Executive Director of University Relations, said the campus posted an announcement on their website announcing the arrest.
The assault allegedly occurred on Aug. 16 in a residence hall on campus.
Brandon is not enrolled at MUW and was reportedly an acquaintance of the victim.
He was released on a $3,500 bond late Monday afternoon.
It was unclear whether Brandon has an attorney.

IUKA – Fredda Sanderson McCune's driving force for the past 34 years has been to be the best she can be, and to make her library the same.
When she retires as Iuka's librarian on Wednesday, McCune can take pleasure in knowing she has helped place the library at the heart of life in Iuka.
The Friends of Iuka Library is one of the largest and strongest friends groups in the state, and being part of the Northeast Regional Library System brings resources from other communities to Iuka.
"I love this library," McCune said. "I've always wanted it to be the best it can be and for everyone to feel welcome here – every age, every gender, every race. I never wanted anyone to feel hesitant walking in here, and I hope I've accomplished that over the years."
The huge turnout on a rainy Tuesday for McCune's farewell reception last week says many support her in achieving that goal.
McCune has remained open to new ideas and approaches as the library has transitioned from a card catalog housed in hardwood cabinet drawers to computer terminals with virtual files.
As often as she has moved books and library shelves for renovations and construction, she has moved them to make collections more visible and useful, to make way for video collections and paperbacks, or to accommodate the growing number of computer stations to serve the expanding needs of library patrons.
"Fredda is a person who wants to get things done and wants to get them done now," said William McMullen, executive director of the regional library system. "She plans, she strategizes, she seeks help from others, but throughout the entire process she is working diligently and efficiently to get the project completed. She wants to provide the people of Iuka with the very best of everything that the library can offer."
The area where McCune hopes she has left her most significant mark is in making reading a central element of children's lives.
Whether through characters she dramatizes during the weekly story hour, bringing something fresh to each summer's reading program, donning bunny ears for the spring Easter egg hunts or taking on the character of Mrs. Claus for December Christmas parties, McCune has thrown heart and soul into making the library a fun and thrilling place for children.
"I want children to love books, to love to read and have fond memories of the library," she said. "I've had parents who came here as young children bring their own children in and share how much they love the library, and that's very satisfying for me. Sometimes it makes me a little teary."

Family: Tyrannidae, Tyrant Flycatchers view all from this family
Description ADULT Has mostly dark olive-brown upperparts, with indistinct pale eyering. Wings and tail are mostly blackish with faint pale wing bars; white feathers on side of rump sometimes overlap inner wing feathers at rest. Throat is white and color continues down center of breast to belly and undertail. Streaked dark olive-brown flanks look like an unbuttoned vest. JUVENILE Similar, but plumage, including wing bars, is warmer buff overall.
Dimensions Length: 7 1/2" (19 cm)
Habitat Widespread and still locally common summer visitor (mainly May-Aug) to boreal forests and damp, coniferous woodland. Has declined markedly in recent years. Forest loss and degradation here, and in South American winter quarters, are probably to blame.
Observation Tips Easy to observe, but scarcer in recent years.
Range Alaska, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Plains, Western Canada, New England, Northwest, Eastern Canada, California, Southwest, Florida, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Texas
Voice Utters a liquid quip-wee-ber or a rapid wip-wip-wip.

I ran my 1st seasoned hunt test (tried to) w/ my 18 mth old Lab - He broke at the gun shot on the 1st mark - I have been training him since he was 2 mths old and he has never broke - I train w/ Thunder launchers, Retrieve R Trainers and live gun shots - He is a very aggressive dog with regards to retrieving desire - He is always ready to retrieve and never wants to quit - He can perform seasoned hunt tests at home w/o question - It's just on hunt test days he is so "Jacked up" that it is hard to settle him down even in the holding blind - QUESTION- How do I fix this w/o hampering his desire to retrieve? - I work with him for about 10 min in the morning before work, then for 30-45 min went I get home every day - After we work in the evening I do let him play with old bumpers and/or tennis balls - Am I letting play too much? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - Thanks
Does anyone have any advice on the amount of play time a retriever should have - My thoughs are I should limit playing to maybe 4-6 retrieves after working and using non-training equipment such as tennis balls only - Thoughts?

Mathematical mystery in art examined, April 3
Posted March 28, 2007; 06:02 p.m.
A mathematical puzzle in the work of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher is the subject of a lecture by mathematician Hendrik Lenstra at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 3, in McCosh 10.
Lenstra, a professor of mathematics at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, will speak on "Escher and the Droste Effect," which refers to the infinite reproduction of an image within an image.
Lenstra has been fascinated with Escher and the mathematical concepts that many of his lithographs illustrated. In 2000, Lenstra focused on Escher's "Print Gallery," which features a man looking at a distorted picture of seaside buildings drawn on a twisted grid, with a mysterious blank patch in the center.
Using elliptic curve theory to describe the distortion necessary to create the Droste effect in Escher's lithograph, Lenstra arrived at an exact mathematical formulation of the artist's process. With colleague Bart de Smit and students, he was able to fill in the patch and generate a complete, mathematically precise version of the drawing. Lenstra's lecture will describe this two-year project and show his team's computer variations on Escher's idea.
The talk is designated as the Louis Clark Vanuxem lecture and is sponsored by the Department of Mathematics and the University Public Lecture series.

That is one stunning quilt!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
That is one stunning quilt!
Wayne & Gabriele, the married quilters.
Thank you for the the kind comments. My first post when I finished the top was more explanatory. I had seen Fons and Porter's show with Ozark Table Toppers. Made several for SS ladies and one of the ladies said, if you put all of those together you would have a quilt top and I thought hmmmmm. So I started looking for a pattern and found the one of Dunster's. I have sewed all my life. I made a mistake by telling my mother ( when I was about 8) I was bored and she introduced me to a sewing machine and an embroidery hoop. If I am bored now, it is my own fault. Those table toppers taught me a lot and I found this board. Since this one, I have finished several more. Love this board and the wisdom and hints found on it. I am sew happy in my little sewing space with my stash.
Beautifully pieced and beautifully quilted.
Your quilt is beautiful. The colors you used work so well together. I love everything about it.
Rosie the "ripper"
really really like it
Your quilt is amazing!! I love the colors, and the quilting is wonderful!!
Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Love your color choices.

When making a quilt block or quilt there are no mistakes only opportunities to be creative****Think unique instead of flawed if your block or quilt is wonky!!!!
My new favorite saying is "Make it Work"
Wow, Wow, Wow....beautiful...and love the colors too.
