The Champaign-Urbana Historic Built Environment Photograph Collection offers a selection from the holdings of the Champaign County Historical Archives, which was established as a department of The Urbana Free Library in 1956. Among its holdings of books, manuscripts, and maps, the archives has preserved over 50,000 photographs of local people and locations. This collection provides a sampling of the rich visual history of Champaign-Urbana's historic built environment in the 19th and 20th century, including images of residential, commercial, governmental, educational, medical, and religious structures, and thus reflects the notion that historic buildings serve as an entryway into the community's collective memory.
The Champaign-Urbana Historic Built Environment Photograph Collection is a joint project of the Champaign County Historical Archives at Urbana Free Library and the Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The patio was perfect for enjoying a bottle of wine on a lazy, sunny afternoon. The bread was fresh and delicious which went well with the mozzarella. The mac n cheese was so yummy and i cannot forget finishing off with warm chocolate chip cookies, vanilla bean ice cream and strawberry sauce!
A Wonderful, Unique place to unwind and have a cup (or seven) of tea! The well-informed staff will explain things about tea to you that you never would have guessed, making the enjoyment of their vast selection that much more fun.
Quiet, cozy, comfortable, a "gem". Excellent food and great service. I've had the cheese by the ounce and have been able to try many different varieties, it is served with fresh pears and a raspberry jam that complements the cheeses perfectly! The Wild Mushroom Salad is to die for, every bite of the delicious meatiness of the mushrooms, spicy crunchiness of the pecans and sweet tangy bacon vinaigrette satisfied me beyond my expectations, I've ordered this salad on three different visits, it's just that good! The grilled pineapple pound cake is light but indulgent and a perfect end to a perfect meal!
This place is awesome! Truly a must see place if you visit Tucson or are from here but have never stopped in.
The food is top of the line, mostly organic including their outstanding coffees!
Staff is friendly and really makes you feel welcome as does the owner/creator of the Glass Onion, Jen has out done herself with this charming Bealtes themed cafe.
Appropriate for all ages as they do not sell alcohol. The live musical performances really add to the flavor of this rare find (LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED)
An excellent place. The setting may not be Arizona macho, but the food is superb, the staff is overwhelmingly pleasant, and the prices are reasonable. Lunch out doors on a pleasant day is about as good as it gets.
I've eaten at the B Line a hundred times. Their weekend breakfasts are great. (Try the crepecakes -- even if you don't like pancakes you'll love these. And the biscuits are fantastic.) The fish tacos are the best in town. The pasta alla vodka (or try it with half-salad) is amazing. Deserts vary from great to awesome. Don't neglect the microbrews on tap.
As for the price, it's higher than you might expect an average fare -- but the B Line isn't average, it's really good food. The quality of ingredients is extrememly high (organic greens, high quality chicken and eggs). I expect to pay a little more for food that is this tasty and good for the planet.
Our favorite restaurant in Tucson. Really excellent and imaginative food, in a terrific space. Doug Levy is a fantastic chef, and a warm and friendly host.
I have to admit I don't go here often enough, but when I do I love it! I always have a fresh and delicious salad, they have great iced-tea and end with a yummy chocolate chip cookie. Anytime someone suggest lunch on 4th I opt for Delectables. Plus have NEVER had a problem with the staff, they've always been very friendly. The atmosphere inside is nice and soothing and when it's cooler we like to sit outside and just relax and enjoy 4th. Delectables is Delectable!
Call me crazy, but none of these reviews accuratley deplict my numerous, positivley wonderful dining experiences at Delectables...My husband and I cherish the soft and sensual lighting, music that dosen't overpower our conversation, the wait staff that know when to approach and how to service our table without interupting our mood enhanced by a wonderful selection of wines and accompanied by flavorful, fresh and savory salads and entrees. The owner is hands on, has been in business for over 20 years and would certainly welcome any opporutnity to satisfy her guests. My favorites are the more classic, original Delectables menu items; Greek salad, Tabbouleh, Chef Salad with feta and house dressing, Exotic Turkey salad with pineapple and celery all accompanied by fresh, french bread. The evening entrees such as the Crepes are flavorful, moist and portions are sufficient especially with the desert heat.
I encourage folks to speak up and talk with the Owner, or Manager if their expereince falls short.
great food, excellent breakfast, and the baked goods are amazing; i eat here every week and have never had a bad experience, a must try
Dine in, take out, cater, it is all first class at Feast. The talented, friendly chef aims to please and he doesn't miss. Feast is an adventure if you are only popping in to pick up a picnic carry out, have lunch from the inventive menu, or order a catered party.

I got one from NoDak Spud/DCI about a year ago and I think ORF has them.
So where's the current action? As in whos has any to sell? A friend was asking about building one and I haven't been paying attention to the FAL scene lately.
I got one from NoDak Spud/DCI about a year ago and I think ORF has them.
Thanks I'll have my friend check those out.
Last time I remember seeing anything about FAL receivers was DSA had a 3-4 month waiting list (Falfiles.com).
Seemed that most didn't mind the wait for the best FAL reciever available.

I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
You mean they have actually finally produced one? I didn't think it would ever really happen. They've only been promising them for what, at least two years now.
Anybody considering using an ORF, Keep in mind they do not have an ejector block. Unless you are a accomplished FAL smith (and have a spare ejector block) I would stay away from them. Proper ejector block location/installation is critical to a reliable rifle and from what I understand, requires a special jig to install.
I used an Imbel receiver for my last FAL build, very nice but are scarce and pricey. I still have another kit to build, but I'm waiting until the feeding frenzy is over. All those $149 kits that Akron and Dan's sold last year have put a high demand on receivers.
theres always Enterprise they look pretty good
I didn't see any FAL recievers listed at NoDak.
I would go with a name brand like Dan Coonan or DSA before I would even consider the "the dream of" FAL receiver ORF is going to make ...in the near future, if the sun is aligned with the planets, etc, etc.
I've got several FAL builds on Coonan receivers all went together no problems didn't need to worry about lack of heat treating or missing ejector blocks either!!!

What ticks you off and sends you into a swirling inferno of anger and frustration?
For me it's when random people check you in town and then comment on your gear. Now don't get me wrong I don't care about /checks, infact I check a lot of people myself but when they go out of thier way to mock your ENM or BCNM or SOLO gear or subjob it pisses me off >_>
Take for example when I used to level drg/whm, I would get a lot of checks concerning my gear and how gimp it was. Now when I play DRG/WHM usually I'm just trying to solo a few more xp to level up, or just looking for a change of pace. For this reason I take off most of my Acc gear and replace it with MP gear.
So next time you see a strange subjob/equipment combo there is no need to try to enlighten the player to the conventional choices

Programs of Study
Music Course Description
Students majoring or minoring in music are encouraged to select a transfer college or university as early as possible in order that they might work toward satisfying the specific requirements of that institution before transferring.
Music majors must take lessons each semester in a selected concentration performance area. This concentration may be in voice, piano, or any instrument. (A student may choose jazz or classical guitar with the approval of a Fine Arts Department music faculty advisor.) A student will be expected to register every semester for a two (2) credit hour private lesson in his or her concentration area. The secondary performance area for all music majors will be piano. Any exception to this must be approved by the department chair. (Students concentrating in piano may choose any other instrument as a secondary performance area.) Students will register for a one (1) credit hour private lesson in their secondary performance area; however, students with limited background in piano may be enrolled in class piano during their first semester. Music advisors will determine the appropriate piano enrollment for each student.
All music majors must continue piano lessons until they pass a piano proficiency exam. This exam will include memorized pieces, scales, cadences, harmonization of a melody, and transposition. Students may expect to take a similar exam when transferring into a college or university music program.
Students may be asked to take an examination in the fundamentals of music to determine proper placement in music theory classes. Appropriate placement will be decided by the academic advisor in consultation with the theory instructor. Music majors will be expected to play a jury examination each semester in their area of concentration. A jury examination in a secondary area is left to the discretion of the instructor.
Music majors will be required to give a twenty minute recital during the second semester of their sophomore year.
The following curriculum meets all requirements for an Associate of Arts degree, and is the academic equivalent of the first two years of most baccalaureate programs in music. Program advisor is Dan Nazworth, chair of the Fine Arts Department.

A BIG problem?
Ugh, I hate that word. I hate that title. But it is true.
I've been different weights to be sure, but I've never beyond the truth of that monniker. I wonder if I ever get skinny if I will still be fat, sort of like how and alcoholic is still an alcoholic after years of sobriety.
But I am not writing that today because of me. I'm writing because of baby goat.
When he was small, so small and early, weight wasn't an issue. Or rather gaining weight was the goal. We spent 6 months on fortified breastmilk to keep the calories up. But it has become increasingly clear that gaining weight is not ever going to be baby goat's problem. All signs point to a metabolism like mine, or Mr. Goat's.
He started life at 4 lbs 7 oz. He weighed in on Monday at 29 lbs 3 oz. 97+ percentile. Off the charts.
The doctor didn't admonish us and say he HAS to lose weight. He said to watch it and to be mindful of feeding him healthy foods and only when he is hungry. Baby goat already gets pretty healthy foods - fruits, veggies, meats, dairy, breastmilk in pretty good proportions. He is just a good eater.
And yet, this is causing a crisis for me.
I've grown up fat - despite healthy food. I've been teased. I struggled against my mom trying to help because while I knew that she was trying to help as a teenager it sounded like a question of worth and not a question of health. I know full well the ease which I can overeat and the lack of an off switch I seem to possess.
And that is about me. But how do I, with all my food issues, my FAT, my overeating, protect baby goat from that? How do I teach him healthy habits? How to I ensure teach him to value healthy eating while unconditionally defending his worth, his preciousness and my love for him?
He's one. He doesn't know. There is still time. The Doctor isn't too worried...yet. I am worried. I fail at weight issues thousands of times a day it seems. I make bad choices. I need to change for me I know, but even more so I worry about him.
And yet to name it as a problem almost allows it to be a problem. Am I overreacting as a new parent? Is my overweight childhood self coming out? Would I be better off calming down and be mindful of his eating and see how it goes as he starts walking and being even more active?
Is naming it creating it? Is ignoring it perpetuating it? His baby goat doomed by his genes and his parents?
I don't know, but this worries have been swirling in my since Monday. I know a FAT life. I would protect him from it if I could, but I know the food issues that can come from manically seeking to prevent it too.
So I write and think and overanalyize and crave cookies to make it seem better and wonder where to go from here.
Mr. Goat says this post is melodramatic. He's right of course. It is channelling my very best skills of overreacting, anxiety and fatalism. I can acknowledge that, but the question remains: How can I teach my son something that I have not mastered myself?

It's tough - that's for sure. Talking about it will do more good than harm - that much I do know. My boy is a GREAT eater - but falls off the charts the opposite direction as he doesn't register even the 5th percentile-he also NEVER. STOPS. MOVING. even in his sleep.
I am confident that once baby goat is more mobile-and the weather is nicer-and with you being mindful of what, and when, you are offering to baby goat - he is going to be just. fine!
(my kids would eat junk all day every day right up til bedtime even if they weren't hungry (and never sit down to eat a meal if we let them) and some days they do that!)
hang in there.
this parenting thing sure isn't easy but you can't beat yourself up...you just have to do what you can and roll with the rest - we are here for you -
- Hyacynth said...
Oh, my heart just hurts with you. I grew up "fat" too. Now I call it unhealthy. Because in college, I dropped the pounds but I still wasn't healthy.
Finally, after a year of marriage, I made a decision that seriously altered my life. I went to a Curves and learned how women's bodies really work and finally, finally, finally understood honest to God sound nutrition. And after three years, four dress sizes smaller and dozens of success stories witnesses, my husband and I actually bought our local club.
I'd be happy to talk with you about nutrition and exercise myths and realities if you think you might like to hear about it.
- simplicity said...
I will be praying for you Liz and how to work on this. It is late and I have so so so many thoughts and feelings on this issue and you (and your very important WORTH), your beautiful son and just the entire issue at hand but I worry that I won't make much sense this late! Just know I'll be praying.
- Melinda said...
I know exactly how you feel...I've always been large (from the time I was born) and have the same struggles you describe.
I don't think you are being melodramatic, because that implies that you are creating tension for the sake of tension. I think your concerns are valid, albeit a little misdirected right now.
Is Baby Goat walking yet? Babies do slim down once they start crawling and then moreso once they start walking. It sounds like he is a good, healthy eater and that is wonderful! The best thing you can do for him is be a good example. This not only means eating healthy, but also not berating yourself over your weight. It's hard, I know. But we can love others unconditionally, we should be able to love ourselves unconditionally as well!
- JM said...
You are clearly aware of the issue and I am sure that no matter what size baby goat is he won't have cause to be concerned about the quality of your love for him. Don't worry about being melodramatic either, that's just a part of being a mother sometimes. As for his current weight, I wouldn't worry about it. Both of my boys are big and have always been in the upper ninetieth percentile for weight, especially in their first year. Before mobility really sets in that chub just has no where to go. It's a sign of your genuine care and concern for Baby Goat that you are thinking about this, but for now when he is still so young I wouldn't let it be a heavy worry.
- Elizabeth said...
I don't think that you are being overly dramatic. I think that it's important as parents to examine ourselves...but that's different than beating ourselves up over everything.
Your post got me curious so I just looked it up and my son weighed 26lb 11oz at his 1 year visit. I can tell you that I was concerned too. But now, he's almost 4 and he weighs 38 pounds. I wish that I had known that was normal when he was 1. Walking made all of the difference.
I've also tried hard (and sometimes failed) at not giving food to him as "treats." It's easy for me to use food as a reward for good behavior, but long term, I know it's not a good thing to teach him.
But we just do the best that we can. That's all we can ask of ourselves. Thank you for writing this and being so open and honest.

Ok, so if you're anything like me, it really won't do much good for me to simply say, "Don't worry." Mainly because if I were in your situation, I'd worry too. Sure, you can try to limit Baby Goat's diet, but then you have a cranky baby, and I haven't heard much about baby aerobics (although I'm sure something like that exists).
So, here's my advice: 1) If you're really, super concerned, do your research. I'd try talking to your doctor some more. Ask him what a healthy amount to eat each meal / day / etc. might be. If Baby Goat's way over that (or way under) try gradually reducing the amount, one day at a time.
2) Make sure you're setting the example. As I'm sure you've already thought, if you reach for cookies/ice cream/chocolate whenever you're stressed, he will too eventually. Also, try to make walking, running, playing games super fun.
3) Wait until he starts walking. A lot of the weight is bound to drop just because he's moving more.
4) As he gets older (4, 5, 6) get him involved in every sport imaginable. Sure, it may be a little harder for you, but it's a great social builder. T-ball is always a good start. (Random side note: Hans used to play hockey, but quit quite a few years ago (as I'm sure you know). However, he's still better on the ice than all of our friends, and it's great to see him so happy and relaxed. Find a sport that Baby Goat really likes and try to stick with it).
4) Make him work for food. This isn't as bad as it sounds. I mean, really wait until spring or summer, and take him to an orchard or berry farm to pick his own tasty treats. It's a great family outing (I used to do it as a kid), but it also helps to teach a little patience food wise. Plus it teaches the basics of food prep. First the berries grow, then you pick them, then you wash them, THEN you can either cook them or eat them. While eating berries straight from the plant is awesome, it definitely doesn't serve to teach patience. Plus, take it from someone who used to eat pears straight from the tree, finding a worm is NO fun!
Alright, enough of my saga. I hope I haven't rambled on for too long. One thing Baby Goat will never have to worry about though is whether or not you love him. The fact that you're even writing this blog shows how much you care. Good luck!

That must have been the toughest post you've written. If I was close enough, I would give you a great long hug. That took some bravery, and there is nothing melodramatic about truth and the bravery to tell it. The honesty has to be the first step towards acknowledging the need for change.
Change such as this is difficult, but the long term effects for both you and E. would be well worth the efforts. I pray that you will find the answers and the means to take the steps you need.
- Roxy said...
Hugs Liz. That had to be hard to write. You are a great mom. I agree Baby Goat will slim down once he is walking. But maybe ask your ped for a referal to a nutritionist. I'm not a huge fan of them (we saw one for celiac, and knew way more, but I think for this they would be a ton of help). Maybe they can help you come up with a game plan for the future.
call or email me anythime.

I may not be a mother, but I did grow up fat. I've been fat as long as I can remember. Sure, there are pictures of me from when I was a little girl, too young to remember... I look normal in those pictures (and downright cute), but it sure didn't take long for me to "fill out," so to speak. So, on at least one level, I can relate to this post.
What you write about here is something that terrifies me. I'm worried that if I ever become a mom (which I really would like to do someday), that I'll just end up with a miniature version of me that will grow up (and out) too quickly and contribute to the "childhood obesity epidemic" that you hear about on the news all the time. And it'll be ALL MY FAULT.
But you know what? It's not your fault. It won't be my fault. It's not like you're raising your kid on Big Macs and deep-fried Twinkies. Like you said, you're providing healthy foods for him. At this point in his life, that's the best you can do. Also, you're aware. Often, that's all it takes to change things for the better.
Good luck. :)
- Tiffany said...
Well Liz you've known me for as long as I can remember and I too have struggled with weight all my life, still do every.day. I too have concerns with my kids and I certainly don't want my two daughters, especially, to experience what I went through. And fingers crossed, so far, so good. Now I am sure part of it is that they have half their fathers genes which helps a bit. The other thing is I constantly expose them to all kinds of healthy food, even if I don't like it. I never like veggies as a kid and I still don't. BUT I provide them at every meal and they eat them at every meal and they LOVE them. The kids would most likely honestly choose the healthy choice. Em's favorite food is broccoli and Jack would choose and apple or banana over a cookie and Ceci actually asks for salads. That being said, we don't keep the junk food from them either. We have both healthy options and the not-so healthy options in our house. And we make sure our kids catch up choosing healthy options once in a while too. I also cook 90% of our meals and they are all encouraged to help. Sure it takes a little longer, but they understand how food comes together and what goes into cooking and doing it well and healthy. We also sit down for meals together. I realize this is easier with the kids being younger but even with Patrick away, I still sit down at the table to eat dinner with the kids. It eliminates the snacking and watching tv syndrome. That being said, sometimes for a special treat we have a picnic in the living room or popcorn and a movie but we really actively try to keep the food at the kitchen table.
As soon as we were able, they were enrolled in swimming lessons, not just for the exercise but more for a life decision. I wanted them to be safe around water. Jack has played all kinds of sports and he genuinely loves. We try to expose him to everything now that he wants to try. It is a lot of running around but worth it. Em loves ballet. She has loved ballet since she saw the Nutcracker when she was 3 and that was it, she was done. She dances and she loves it. Ceci, well, she is just busy and we take walks and run and play outside.
Now this is just works for me. I am certain there will be a time when I have to step it up a bit but right now it helps. It also helps me to keep my weight in check. I fluctuate a bit here and there and I am by no means where I want to be but I am not gaining any more so that is good for me.
As for E, you need to listen to these other posts, he will thin down as he gets more active. Walking totally changes things. I would watch it. I would talk to the doctor about the proportion size and how much is too much for his age but I also wouldn't worry too much at this point. Now, if he's 60 lbs. at age 3, then that's another story. Keep exposing him to good foods and relax. And take a key from your doc, they will tell you when it is time to worry. Now I know that is easier said than done but it is true. I have had many visits where I have gotten a "we need to watch this and if by next visit..." and sometimes, it goes away all on its own and sometimes, we get to the next visit and we have to figure out a plan and work it.
And you have to look at it this way, from where he was last year at this time, this is a good problem to have. It is correctable and he has rebounded and avoided any potential problems from him being born so early. You have done a great job and you will continue to do so. The fact that you are concerned about this is a testament to what a good mother you are. I love you so much!

P.S. So sorry for the novel! ;)

This is tough stuff. I have struggled with food a lot in my life and while I've been lucky that it hasn't gotten TOO out of control, my weight is always in the back of my mind. (Very interesting what you said about still being fat even once you're skinny, like an alcoholic.) I've been doing Weight Watchers for 6 months and it has dramatically changed how I view food. Seth and I are doing it together – the weight loss has been a great benefit, but more than anything we realized we had to change our eating habits so that we could be good models for Anna. And it's funny, I never gave much thought to people on the other end of the spectrum who are concerned about being underweight, but Anna has always been small for her age and that concerns me, too. She's in the 20th percentile right now, the highest she's been, and she isn't walking yet so I am concerned about calorie burn when she starts doing that. (And she's a great eater too – so it isn't that. The girl just has much faster metabolism than her mama!) My point is – it's always something!! There is no end to the worry when you're a parent :)
I think awareness is half the battle. You are a great mother and you're doing fine. There isn't a magic cure – it's something to work at every single day. I will keep reminding myself of this too :)
Call or write any time you want to chat more, my dear :)

I grew up fat too. I have had weight issues and poor self-esteem because of them for my whole life. And I have been so paranoid. Both of my boys (now 7 and 5) were always top-of-the-charts as babies, now are normal, just-average sized boys. But now I have a daughter and boy oh boy to I worry about projecting my issues onto her. I don't have any wisdom for you, except that you're not alone. :)
- amy said...
What a post... I can totally identify with this. I grew up in So. Cal as the chubby kid. It felt horrible, especially when I went home to my weight obsessed family. And even now, after losing the weight and being at a small size, whenever I look in the mirror, I see that same fat girl. I get no sympathy (and I don't want it) because I look "small" but I will never recover from being that fat girl and like an alcoholic, i will always deal with eating issues. I'm terrified of passing this down to my children, both physicall and psychologically. it's so incredibly difficult to never let my "fluffy" daughter feel like she's anything less than perfect, but also to teach her how to eat a healthy diet.
Anyway, I so appreciated your post. You're not alone and very strong to put it all out there. Very much a first step.
- Amelia Sprout said...
Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I've always struggled with weight, and I've been anorexic and I'm obese. He's only one, and when kids are that age they go through chunk up/stretch out phases, and one appointment does not make a pattern. It is not worth stressing about it.
For me, having a kid was a wake up call about my own unhealthy habits. I realized when she was almost two that I was giving all of the healthy food to her, because I wanted to make sure that she had a good start, and not taking good enough care of myself. It is still hard. I am an emotional eater, and I love all kinds of things that are just no good for you.
I have an odd suggestion for you, and I don't want you to take it the wrong way. Have you thought about going to a nutritionist? I realized I honestly had no idea about what I really should be doing for food for a little kid, or even for myself. Even someone like me who grew up vegetarian, was way off on how many servings of veggies you should be getting. Not to mention I had no idea how big a serving was for a toddler. I also became a lot more aware how much unnecessary sugar there is in "kids" products. It was a great learning experience and everyone in the house has benefited.
- Rebecca said...
That must have been a hard post to write. The fact that you are having these thoughts is a testimony to the fact that you are a wonderful mom. We parents can only do the best we can. We'll obsess about the effects of our work, so know that your worries will never go away. All you can do is to keep doing your best. If you do, I believe Baby Goat will grow up a happy, healthy boy.
- Monkeymama said...
I agree with everyone else that E might drop on the chart a bit when he starts walking.
Also, you and Mr. Goat are both tall - he's bound to be at the top of the charts due to genetics.
The book Child of Mine, by Ellyn Satter, has been recommended to me many times and I'm just reading it now - it talks about feeding your child in a healthy way - both healthy foods and with a healthy mindset. It might give you some tips too.
It's really hard, as a parent, to see clearly in areas where we struggle ourselves.
- scrubmama said...
I didn't read all the comments, so maybe this has been said, but kids are SO malleable. Adults who are obese have a hard time changing because all of the hormones, etc. involved in regulating eating have about reached their set point. But kids can still change it! If you can, borrow Complications by Atul Gawande from your library--there's a chapter on gastric bypass and he goes into a little detail about hunger regulation.
But anyways, my point is, he is not you. Which is a relieving and stress-inducing thought all at the same time ;)
If it helps you at all, Littlescrub was 26lb at her 1 year, and 27lb at her 1.5 year...and 3 inches taller and RUNNING. I do think (just anecdotally) that
1) breastmilk is super-chub-inducing, but easily burned off
2) kids will always ask for more if they love the food (i.e. littlescrub and mangoes), not necessarily because they're hungry
3) i never should have to worry if my kid "got enough"....her metabolism is so spot-on that if she hardly eats one day, she invariably will pig out the next day. it's been really hard to let her control how much she eats, but honestly, she's probably better at regulating her eating habits than i am.
- Random Tangent said...
you are not over reacting. you are trying to be proactive. it sounds to me like you have already started to set good eating habits with healthy food. the next step is being more 'active'. remember that the little activities that add up. take a walk after dinner. go play at the park. take the stairs a few times a week. stand rather than sit when possible. and DON'T beat yourself up (especially when you slip). you are a wonderful parent and by being aware and making the changes now, even the little ones, you will all be better off for it.

Scorpions belong to the arachnid group (invertebrates with four pairs of legs and two body parts) along with such animals as spiders, ticks and mites. They are distinguished from other arachnids because they possess a large pair of pincers and a tail with a venomous sting on the tip. They are a very primitive group that has existed with the same basic body plan for some 450 million years.
Scorpion, Urodacus sp.Photographer: Alan Henderson / Source: Minibeast Wildlife
Some of the interesting biological features of scorpions include:
This latter factor is one of the reasons why scorpions have survived for such a long time – they spend most of their lives resting under rocks, pieces of wood, or in burrows and expend very little energy. This results is the need for only occasional meals.
World-wide there are 1500 known species of scorpions. Australia has about 80 species (although many have yet to be named scientifically), and Victoria has nine known species. They are widely distributed. Many people are under the impression that scorpions are desert creatures, but although there are many more species in the drier parts of Australia, scorpions are found in quite cool and wet regions of Australia.
Scorpions are often feared because of the sting on their tail and the potential lethal nature of the venom. Several thousand people die each year from scorpion stings, but these deaths are from the stings of about 25 species that inhabit northern Africa, the Middle East, India, Mexico and parts of South America. None of these potentially lethal species occur in Australia. The Australian species can inflict a painful sting that results in swelling and pain for several hours, but there have not been any confirmed deaths of people from stings from Australian scorpions. Medical advice should be sought if you are stung by a scorpion.

Hi Isobel, scorpions excrete through the anus, generally in the form of nitrogenous waste. A simple internet search should provide you with many online resources.
Hi John,
It is possibly a baby scorpion, or a species that is quite small even as adults. The other likely animal it could be is pseudo scorpion. Pseudo scorpions are small and do not have the 'tail' of normal scorpions but they do have the two obvious pincers at the front of their bodies.
Hi Josie, the information written above may be able to help you, as well as the links in the top right hand corner. In addition here are a few interesting sites on scorpions that you may be able to use for your school project, click here, here and here. We have forwarded your enquiry regarding venom and pincer size to our Live Exhibits Department, and will post an answer as soon as we hear from them.
Hi Josie, the size of the scorpion is not the only indicator of the amount of venom it contains. A great little trick to know is to look at its pincers (claws) and compare them to the size of the tail (sting). If it has really big claws and a small sting it is indicating that it uses power rather than venom to subdue its prey and tends to be less potent a venom. If you look up a Rainforest Scorpion and a Spider Hunting Scorpion on the internet and look at photos you will be able to work out which one relies on venom and which normally just uses power.
Hello Mel,
The museum does not provide eradication advice perhaps you can contact your environmental officer at your local council for further advice.
Scorpions will take moving prey of any size up to and including their own size, but generally cope best with prey about one third of their body size or less. They naturally feed on ground-dwelling invertebrates such as crickets and beetle larvae (mealworms), so moths may be difficult for them to catch but other than that there is no reason not to feed moths to scorpions.
Hi Peter, thanks for your query - our Live Exhibits department have suggested the following:
The predators of scorpions include birds, small mammals, reptiles and invertebrates such as centipedes and other scorpions. In some areas rodents can have a significant impact, so a sudden reduction in rats and mice may lead to an increase in scorpions, although the connection may be tenuous. Scorpion numbers are affected by many factors and due to their slow metabolism, population responses tend to be slow. But the presence or absence of rodents could certainly be a factor.
Hope this helps
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

My friends Jack Russel would wear that machine right out. Man, that dog can play for 14 hrs a day and not tire out.
Great idea!
Ha! That's great!
I have to admit, while I was watching, I was wondering what would happen if you loaded a cat into that thing?
Reminds me of my parent's Lab at the end of their dock... She'd push a tennis ball with her nose, right up to the edge, then step on it and pull it back... for hours. When she'd miss with the paw, it would drop in the lake. She's watch it drift out to about 3-4 ft away, then dive in the water after it, grabbing the ball as she went in. She'd then swim back to the shore, carry the ball to the end of the dock, and play her game again...
When the neighbor's kids would come over, she'd tire out their arms before she'd quit retrieveing balls from the lake...
Sometimes when she was hot... black coat, summer heat... she'd just run down to the lake for a swim. She jump off the dock and paddle around for a few minutes, then head back to the shade.
Whe she was "working" with me, she'd retrieve multiple balls or sticks in one retrieve, gagging lake water the whole way, following whistle and arm signals to the ball I wanted her to retrieve first. When she swam, her whole back, from shoulders to tail would plane right up out of the water...
Great dog...
I'm not a big Labrador fan, but I have to admit they are amazing dogs!

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
having lost your job because of something you have put in an Internet weblog
'But he did not really take the company to task until last week, when he was sacked after 11 years in his job. "They took great exception to my mentioning of work on my blog," he wrote. "They said I had violated the rules and brought the company into disrepute" … Mr Gordon's was the first publicised example of a British blogger being "dooced." … With dozens of blogs springing up in Britain every day, many work-related, doocing is a risk for online diarists.'Times Online 15th January 2005
If you've had a particularly bad day at work and you're about to vent your frustrations by posting them on your blog (online diary), then after reading this article you might want to think again. If you write something in your blog which can be perceived as incriminating, you may unwittingly expose yourself to the possibility of being dooced!
bloggers waking up to the possibility of doocing and adopting a more measured approach to what they write are increasingly being described as dooce dodgers
The term dooced made its British English debut in January 2005, when Joe Gordon, a senior bookseller in the shop Waterstone's in Edinburgh, was sacked, allegedly having made offensive remarks about the company in his online satirical newsletter, Woolamaloo Gazette. The affair was a British precedent, though over in the United States there have been various recorded incidents during the last couple of years of what has been referred to as doocing, the noun deriving from dooced. Doocing may not always result from what people have written. Among the more high-profile examples in 2004 was the case of Ellen Simonetti, a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, who was sacked when her managers found 'inappropriate' photos of her in her uniform on her website.
The term dooced most commonly appears in a passive construction as in She got dooced or His comments resulted in him being dooced. Bloggers waking up to the possibility of doocing and adopting a more measured approach to what they write are increasingly being described as dooce dodgers, with the noun dooce dodging for the activity.
The word dooced was coined in 2002 by Heather Armstrong, a Los Angeles web designer who lost her job after writing about work colleagues in her personal blog, dooce.com. Her subsequent advice to fellow bloggers is straightforward:
'Never write about work on the Internet unless your boss knows and sanctions the fact …'
The emergence of the term dooced has brought with it a range of legal and ethical considerations surrounding the activity of blogging. Increasingly, Internet lawyers are advising companies to set out clearer guidelines for blogs written by their employees, and at the beginning of 2005, a Bloggers' Rights site was launched, which lists 'blogophobic' companies that have dooced their staff and urges employers to establish specific policies on blogging.

Also there are many skills in the game designed(more or less) to break a lock without you needing to do a dodge. These are your knockback and teleportation skills. The drawback is you have to waste a portion of your ap for that turn to do this. Some classes like scarier or pandawa can reposition allies or enemies so that allies dont have to waste ap during their turn to avoid a lock.
(some enemies even try to move at the start of their turn and lose it)
I would not pay much attention to lock unless you're some kind a tank
Some monsters though have the ability with spells to push you back or move themselves (so they ignore lock)
Dodge is simply the opposite stat, negating your enemy's lock so that you can run away easier if you ever have to, or switch target.

Hop online and I can guild invite you, mat.
Been playing a few days and over lvl 30 now. Here are some things I learned/advice for others:
alt+h to go into your haven bag(cannot be use everywhere). inside your haven bag you have a chest to store items. craft or purchase extra inventory bags, they are useful.
you get free restat at lvl 10 and lvl 30. Figure out what stats you really want to have before lvl 30 because once you hit 30 you will only have a few days to do the restat. As an example, I put most of my points into dodge and then realized I want to increase my range and add the rest of my points to intelligence for fire dmg. How you stat your character will make a big difference, so figure out what will best suit you before lvl 30.
gear is very important. having a set gives you extra buffs. find a set that suits your character and also find sets/gear for your sidekicks that suits them. for those who are fire dmg specced characters; go to mount zinit with a friend or two after you reach lvl 25 and get the gear set from the first part of the mountain.
Fast XP/Leveling
A fast way to level up to 30 is get a friend or two and do dungeon runs in the Astrub Sewers, House of Trouble dungeon lvl 15. Use wisdom candy which drops a lot from the larva in the sewers. You will need clans keys to play this dungeon; they drop from piwis or else craft them from the clay that drops from piwis. Once you're somewhere in your 20s you can get around 60,000xp from the last fight in that dungeon.
Battle Conditions
The first part of a fight is positioning. After positioning the fight begins and you will see 1 or more battle conditions appear in the upper-left of your screen. If you and your team fulfill them then you get wisdom and prospecting bonuses. that means more xp and loot at the end of the fight. wisdom=xp, prospecting=loot.
Hope this will helpful.
By request of some guildies this is my WATER/EARTH enu build...if you want to go pure water just dont add drhellzerker and max phone a friend,then get 10 gelogy,then MAX treasure tracker(gives you+40 prospecting and 50% of your prospecting stat becomes damage so if you have 300pp you will get a 150% dmg boost)
On my earth/water build you can see i only maxed purge and rascalry skills on the water tree,Why is that? well i just make the dungeon boss drop bag,then i transform and turn into hulk and kill enemies =)

I'm not surprised. This is an Onrpg guild afterall. Guild merge doesn't sound so bad right now.
dunno I haven't multiboxed yet, already pleveling 1 of my alts to 50 felt like such a chore. Yet I still hit 3 digits while playing casually, I'm always alt-tabbed doing something else inbetween fights. However it did take me a while to hit that mark, about a month since I've downloaded this game?
But grouping and playing with others definitely makes the game a lot more enjoyable. So far mostly all the foreigners I've come across were friendly, even the ones that get butthurt and pvp me when I steal their crops.
eh I never triple client, and don't even dual client much anymore. but versatility helps a lot when soloing
This game is extremely dependent on people being social, this was the first game I've actually walked up to people and asked.
If you wanna choose to multi-client instead of being social, meeting random new people. Then don't blame the game for not being easy.

This thread is long overdue. We all know that the MKV forum is flooded with dimwits
Today I installed my BFI torque arm insert and stg 1 transmission insert. Install was a breeze and thanks BFI for such a fast turnaround. Shifts feel much smoother and the engine feels less sloppy. There are a bit of vibrations in the cabin but it should settle down once they break (mainly the transmission insert) in.

The dance terminology in Hungary is a mix of English and Hungarian phrases. The name of some steps got translated, others have not. Sometimes it is very confusing. I heard one story related to this. A top Hungarian couple was taking lessons abroad and they asked the teacher to show them the step called 'Hunter'. The teacher had no clue of course! The solution was sg with 'chase' in it which got translated to Hungarian as hunter among the teachers.
My second question is about the jive again. The opinions seemed to differ on whether the heel should touch the floor or not on the rock step. Could someone check it in the book? I know it is a shame that I still not have a copy. (An online version would be nice.) I had no problem putting my heel down and extending the leg fully while maintaining a strong forward projection by sending only the left hip back. I cannot tell how much weight I put on the moving leg. I would rather describe it this way: I push the floor away with my foot by rolling from toes to flat position on the left while rolling to toes on the right.
The original question was about rocks in Rumba and Cha Cha. Actually, I am confused now as to what step was originally meant!

So what's wrong with HQ8gTdd55K? (:
I used to put my heel down on rock step in Jive until recently when I was told that is not ok. I do not know who taught me that. Any comment on this? Is it not optional?
By the way, how can I change my password?
With the American style technique, there are two prevaiing schools of thought. Some people prefer a more complete transfer of weight to the whole foot. Others prefer to see the body weight held towards the forward foot so that the heel of the back foot does not receive weight.
Your choice will depend on the "look" you prefer. If you like a fuller, more "elastic" looking action similar to International Rumba and Cha Cha, you should opt for the full transfer of weight. If you like your Amercan style Rumba to be more compact and rhythmical, with a rock step similar to that of EC Swing or Jive, then you will probably like the version with the heel up.
I hope this helps.Sincerely, Jonathan Atkinson
On Jive, the book says "The first step is taken back and the leg straightened but not locked as the heel is lowered. The knee of the leg without weight is slightly flexed. On the second step the weight is transferred onto the forward foot in place and the leg straightened but not locked." The footwork is B flat B flat which would suggest that the heel is lowered. However, I agree with Jonathan's earlier post - it is lowered but with weight forward.
Sounds like you're on the right track to me. Did you happen to check out Mark & Viola's Jive variation on Ballroomdancers.com a few weeks back? That's a very good example of rock steps in Jive.
Terminology-wise, it's my personal observation that a "rock step" tends to describe a transfer of weight from one foot to the other and back, while a "break" describes an actual stop and/or change of directional movement.
To put it in another way, a back break would imply that you are actually moving backwards and then forward, as in Cha Cha, such that you would transfer all of your weight fully over the whole foot before moving away. By definition, a back rock does not imply direction of movement, but only positions of the feet. So your your body does not have to move backwards when your weight shifts to the back foot.
According to this definition, a break would be a type of rock step, but not vice-versa.
At least, that's my understanding.

I have read this a few times from Systematic:
As you don't mention it, we are probably assuming that you already have a university degree. If you don't, you are in for a bumpy ride, the prospects of getting good employment will be practically nill, and there will almost certainly be no opportunities for advancement - as Harvey-Gormullah has found out much to his distress, dismay, disillusionment, and depression.
Now I have to say it worries me so can I explain my situation and let me know what you think and what the next step should be:
I decided earlier this year that it was not possible to stay in the office environment. I live in Ireland (Australian passport) and in the phrase 'go hard or go home' the recession in Ireland is one of the worst (the goverment is good at something!). So after research I decided to do CELTA with IH Dublin. All I can say, what an amazing learning curve, I have enjoyed every minute of it, I cannot imagine going into a classroom without it, it has been a revelation that I can enjoy something so much!
I nearly completed a business degree many years ago and a few years ago I started a law degree, I did 2 years and then stopped (I know, there is nothing you can say that I have not said to myself). Anyway I have looked into OU and I can transfer the successful subjects and get a BA online, which is a huge relief it has to be said.
What I am worried about is what Systematic said. I have been working for 15 years and I would of thought that would of counted for something, I know it is not directly relevant but it shows that I am stable and can work with others!
My plan is to work in Italy. I have heard there are projects within the public high schools and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about that and how I can look into that.
I would appreciate any advice as to how to put that across to employers in a positive way, how it should be presented in a CV and if anyone has any contacts with the Italian high school thing.
PS: CELTA has a pass, B and A. So far I have met the standard for everthing (except one when I left the procedures on the printer) how in the last few weeks can I aim for the B?
Thanks for the read I know it is long and I look forward to all your answers!

Science says: Negative impacts of global warming on agriculture, health, and environment far outweigh any positives.
While CO2 is essential for plant growth, all agriculture depends also on steady water supplies, and climate change is likely to disrupt those supplies through floods and droughts. It has been suggested that higher latitudes—Siberia, for example—may become productive due to global warming, but the soil in Arctic and bordering territories is very poor, and the amount of sunlight reaching the ground in summer will not change because it is governed by the tilt of the earth. Agriculture can also be disrupted by wildfires and changes in seasonal periodicity, which is already taking place, and changes to grasslands and water supplies could impact grazing and welfare of domestic livestock. Increased warming may also have a greater effect on countries whose climate is already near or at a temperature limit over which yields reduce or crops fail—in the tropics or sub-Sahara, for example.
Warmer winters would mean fewer deaths, particularly among vulnerable groups like the aged. However, the same groups are also vulnerable to additional heat, and deaths attributable to heat waves are expected to be approximately five times as great as winter deaths prevented. It is widely believed that warmer climes will encourage migration of disease-bearing insects like mosquitoes and malaria is already appearing in places it hasn't been seen before.
Polar Melting
While the opening of a year-round ice free Arctic passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans would confer some commercial benefits, these are considerably outweighed by the negatives. Detrimental effects include loss of polar bear habitat and increased mobile ice hazards to shipping. The loss of ice albedo (the reflection of heat), causing the ocean to absorb more heat, is also a positive feedback; the warming waters increase glacier and Greenland ice cap melt, as well as raising the temperature of Arctic tundra, which then releases methane, a very potent greenhouse gas (methane is also released from the sea-bed, where it is trapped in ice-crystals called clathrates). Melting of the Antarctic ice shelves is predicted to add further to sea-level rise with no benefits accruing.
Ocean Acidification
A cause for considerable concern, there appear to be no benefits to the change in pH of the oceans. This process is caused by additional CO2 being absorbed in the water, and may have severe destabilizing effects on the entire oceanic food-chain.
Melting Glaciers
The effects of glaciers melting are largely detrimental, the principle impact being that many millions of people (one-sixth of the world's population) depend on fresh water supplied each year by natural spring melt and regrowth cycles and those water supplies—drinking water, agriculture—may fail.
Sea Level Rise
Many parts of the world are low-lying and will be severely affected by modest sea rises. Rice paddies are being inundated with salt water, which destroys the crops. Seawater is contaminating rivers as it mixes with fresh water further upstream, and aquifers are becoming polluted. Given that the IPCC did not include melt-water from the Greenland and Antarctic ice-caps due to uncertainties at that time, estimates of sea-level rise are feared to considerably underestimate the scale of the problem. There are no proposed benefits to sea-level rise.
Positive effects of climate change may include greener rain forests and enhanced plant growth in the Amazon, increased vegetation in northern latitudes and possible increases in plankton biomass in some parts of the ocean. Negative responses may include further growth of oxygen poor ocean zones, contamination or exhaustion of fresh water, increased incidence of natural fires, extensive vegetation die-off due to droughts, increased risk of coral extinction, decline in global photo-plankton, changes in migration patterns of birds and animals, changes in seasonal periodicity, disruption to food chains and species loss.
The economic impacts of climate change may be catastrophic, while there have been very few benefits projected at all. The Stern report made clear the overall pattern of economic distress, and while the specific numbers may be contested, the costs of climate change were far in excess of the costs of preventing it. Certain scenarios projected in the IPCC AR4 report would witness massive migration as low-lying countries were flooded. Disruptions to global trade, transport, energy supplies and labour markets, banking and finance, investment and insurance, would all wreak havoc on the stability of both developed and developing nations. Markets would endure increased volatility and institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance companies would experience considerable difficulty.
Developing countries, some of which are already embroiled in military conflict, may be drawn into larger and more protracted disputes over water, energy supplies or food, all of which may disrupt economic growth at a time when developing countries are beset by more egregious manifestations of climate change. It is widely accepted that the detrimental effects of climate change will be visited largely on the countries least equipped to adapt, socially or economically.
Science says: Negative impacts of global warming on agriculture, health, and environment far outweigh any positives.

Theo Walcott is halfway through his seventh full season at Arsenal - and he rates this one as his best yet.
The England international committed his future to the Club by signing a new contract last week and his value to Arsène Wenger's side has been evident through a productive campaign.
Walcott has 15 goals in all competitions - exceeding his previous season's best of 13 with four months to spare - and has six assists in the Premier League alone.
At 23, Walcott is maturing into a top-class performer and, following another well-taken goal at Chelsea on Sunday, he explained why he's enjoying his football more than ever.
"I've been happy with the last couple [of seasons], but more so this season, being more consistent and scoring more goals, in the bigger occasions as well," said Walcott.
"Even [Chelsea keeper] Petr Cech was saying 'great finish' after [Sunday's game]. It's coming from a world-class keeper and it means a lot. You get Juan Mata whose congratulating me afterwards. Little things like that, coming from these players that I look up to and watch and learn from every week means a lot to me.
"Now I want to repay everyone who's been faithful to me and I'm definitely ready for that battle.
"I'd rather not score goals and the team wins, that's the sort of person that I am. But I know where Arsenal should be. That's why I committed my future to them. We need to start realising how good we are, because we showed some great stuff in the second half [against Chelsea] but we need to do that from the start of games."
Walcott has been in the spotlight since his future was thrown into doubt last year and his relief at signing a new deal is clear - not least to ease the pressure on those closest to him.
"It's been tough," he admitted. "Even though it hasn't really shown on or off the pitch at times, deep down it has been tough, not just for me, but for my family and my partner getting hit with it every week. I'm happy it's finally sorted.
"I can deal with that side of things [the speculation]. It's more my family or people around me that might not have been able to think that I could cope with it. It just shows I'm growing as a man. I'm more mature. I can deal with these things.
"I tend to not really concentrate on that side of things. I've always trusted the manager and I've always spoken to all the players and the manager and everyone behind closed doors. Like I said, I always wanted to stay."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Residents must get an annual license….
There's a guy near me that has a farm of white tailed deer! He's on about 40 acres of land and has fences that are 6 or 7 foot tall. Probably a good reason to put that "domesticated" clause in the ordinances. As far as I know, you can't keep deer in the State of Michigan without a special permit from the State. It must have been a nightmare to get the State, the County, and the township to approve the deer farm. The real question I've always had is: WHY! Why on earth would you want to raise deer when there are millions and millions of the things running wild across lower Michigan.Down in Ann Arbor, they used to keep Buffalo on the Domino Farms (ie Pizza) facility. Not aware of any Buffalo in my county though. There are some Alpaca farms in Michigan, I don't know if they're classified as domesticated or not.
Thanks for the info Danno. Like I said, I didn't know the laws about keeping deer. Might I inquire what you do with captive deer? My neighbor probably has 40 or 50 of them in his big fenced in area. Must have cost a small fortune just for the fence. I can't imagine the deer paying for that much expense, but then again, this is something I know nothing about.

Less than two months after the groundbreaking of its new building, currently being constructed at 100 College Street, Alexion plans to expand, adding an additional two floors of space
(New Haven, CT) The City of New Haven is pleased to announce that Alexion Pharmaceuticals, the main tenant for the 100 College Street project at New Haven�s Downtown Crossing, has asked developer Winstanley Enterprises to modify plans to include an additional two stories of space, expanding the total square footage by 76,464 square feet..
�This expansion is good news for the city and indicative of the tremendous growth the company has seen in recent years and their commitment to New Haven,� said Mayor John DeStefano. This expansion will further position our city as a leader in bioscience industries creating good jobs for our residents.�
The Development Agreement approved by the Board of Aldermen was written to accommodate such an expansion. The minimum required by the agreement was a lab/office building of 225,000 square feet in size. The building, as presented to the Board of Aldermen, was approximately 425,000 square feet and 10 stories in height. This new addition will bring the building to 12 stories and total space to approximately 500,000 square feet, still under the permitted maximum square footage permitted by zoning . To put this in perspective, the height of the building will still be less than the height of Smilow Cancer Hospital and the overall square footage will be about 25,000 square feet less than the 300 George St building next door.
The state-of-the-art 12-story office building is the first building to be erected as part of New Haven�s Downtown Crossing urban revitalization effort. Downtown Crossing is the largest infrastructure activity in New Haven in decades, and is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation�s TIGER II grant, the city of New Haven and the State of Connecticut. It is expected to create 2,000 construction jobs, result in $184 million in direct and indirect spending over the next three years, and create 900 permanent jobs upon completion. The building is being constructed to be certifiable to an environmental standard of at least LEED Silver.
When Alexion takes occupancy in 2015, it will mark the company�s return to the city where it was founded more than 20 years ago. Alexion plans to relocate more than 400 employees who are currently based in Connecticut to the new site in 2015 in addition to adding between 100 and 200 new employees.
�What is also exciting is that city staff have received inquiries concerning housing opportunities for Alexion employees to move into the city once they take occupancy of the building,� said Kelly Murphy, New Haven Economic Development Administrator. �This points to a highly successful company, looking to expand rapidly and grow jobs in a city full of vitality and opportunity.�
