Yes -- there is a pull chain on the back of her head that changes her eyes... four different colors. Orange is the freakiest, followed closely by pink! :o)
Betty Lou,
She is a little over 11" tall -- but a good portion of that is her head! ;o) The smaller ones I've posted about before are 4" tall. I love making clothes for alllll of them!

I love her BUT I have to stay focused on quilting right now. What size are the other patterns in the Pattern mook? I think I saw something that might fit Barbie. Did I?

This post is so much fun! I don't have my own Blythe (other than a mini version from My Little Pet Shop that sits above my sewing machine), but I get a big kick out of seeing others sew for theirs. So much fun! The lace dress is my favorite. So sweet and girlie. Your dollar store find cracks me up! I never would have thought of purchasing that for fabric. Ha!

- Care said...
There are patterns for a few different dolls -- I think the girl you are looking at must be Momoko. She appears to be a similar size to Barbie, but I can't say for sure. There is a trenchcoat pattern in the book that fits Momoko, and it KILLS me! I am dying to know if it would fit Barbie! :o)

These outfits are oh-so chic!

I'm not much of a Blythe fan, but I think both your dresses are very cute. I love the socks from the bra. Did you choose that because it was stretchy material?
- February 28, 2011 at 11:45 AM
- Nueyer Dua said...
So cute!! The Valentine's dress is my favourite :) I'm really new at Blythe clothes and have only recently made a few. I hope to get as good as you are!

Thanks for posting. Love your sewing these clothes. I really struggle with finding cloth to scale. I don't know where to get prints that are tiny.
I love your paisley. Could you point me in a direction to find tiny scale cloth for my dolls?

Educational, cultural, and related economic needs of the multi-county service area are met through programs of university transfer, applied science and technology, business and industry partnerships, developmental education, community service, and student support services in conjunction with certificates and associate and select baccalaureate degrees.
Educational, cultural, and related economic needs of our multi-county service area are met through programs in applied sciences and technology, university transfer, business and industry partnerships, developmental education, community service, and student support services in conjunction with numerous certificates and associate and baccalaureate degrees. The following paragraphs are offered to help acquaint you with a variety of important facts that define the college.
Great Basin College covers 86,500 square miles, two time zones, and six of Nevada's largest counties. We border Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, and California. The main campus in Elko is a comprehensive residential college. Centers are located in Battle Mountain, Ely, Pahrump, and Winnemucca. There are satellite facilities in over a dozen communities across northern Nevada and our Internet campus continues to grow rapidly. We are very committed to working with the communities in all of our locations to meet their educational needs.
Great Basin College has built strong relationships with employers in the service area. GBC has worked collaboratively with the regional mining industry over many years. With industry support, GBC has developed 48 week accelerated Associate degree programs in five technical areas. Over 90% of graduates from these programs are employed within a year of completion. Bachelor and associate degrees in health sciences and education provide graduates to supply the needs of local health care providers and school districts. "Growing our own" has become a strategy to provide a trained workforce for rural Nevada in jobs for which it is otherwise difficult to recruit and retain quality professionals. These are just a few examples of partnerships GBC has developed over the years.
The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities has reaffirmed the accreditation of Great Basin College based on Year One of the newly revised accreditation schedule; the College is currently working on the Year Three Self-Evaluation Report. Recently, we have received reaffirmation of program accreditations for the Associate and Bachelor's degree in Nursing and the Associate degree in Radiology.

Hadfield charity Mummy's Star has been awarded £10,000 of lottery funding.
The Big Lottery Fund presented the UK's only charity for pregnant women with cancer with the largest possible Awards for All grant.
Founder Pete Wallroth set up Mummy's Star in June in memory of his wife Mair, who died from breast cancer in December 2012, just two months after giving birth to her son.
He said: "This funding is great news. Because we're still a relatively new charity, we're using it to pay for materials which we'll use to get word out about what we do and raise our profile, so that we can reach and help the right people all over the country.
"We need to produce things like information leaflets, clothing for people to wear during sponsored events, 'Charibands' or eco-friendly, re-usable bags, and promotional items. Securing this funding to cover costs like these means that we can use the money which people work so hard to raise for us to directly help affected families."
The charity offers advice, information, grants and support to families affected by cancer during pregnancy and soon after birth.

Thomas F. Schaller's commentary ("Older, wealthier get plenty of 'free stuff,'" Nov. 14) is typical of the far-left position that everything an American citizen owns belongs to the federal government. He talks of "benefits" that the government bestows upon us peasants as magnanimous grants from on high which we may use to sustain ourselves. In my opinion, this is not the case. We citizens toil in our everyday life to earn a living. Taxes of any sort are an imposition by the government to maintain itself in order to serve its citizens. In other words, they work for us not the other way around.
As a retired person, I receive the only entitlement in the long list of "benefits" so granted by the government by virtue of the fact that I paid into what we now come to realize is a gigantic Ponzi scheme known as Social Security, perpetuated on us by a socialistic government in the 1930s. It is like grabbing a tiger by the tail — you can't let go. Our government didn't for see that medical science would extend the life span of the early 1930s from age 58 and 62 for men and women respectively, to today's span of somewhere around 79 years.
Knowing these figures, its not a stretch to assume that many retirees will receive many more dollars than they have contributed, but before you condemn us as greedy geezers, consider that one dollar contributed in the '30s (by me while working summer jobs) would buy ten loaves of bread then while one dollar returned to me from the government in the form of Social Security today will buy at best two-thirds of a loaf. If I want 12-grain or specialty bread, it will buy less than a quarter of that loaf.

Academic performance of peruvian elementary school children : The case of schools in Lima at the 6th grade
Manrique Millones, Denisse L.
Van Leeuwen, Karla
Ghesquière, Pol
MetadataShow full item record
Education is in general the basis for development in any country in the world. In the education al field, several international assessments (Pisa, 2006) reflect the great gap that yet subsists among developing countries, in which the case of Peru is not an exception. There have been many national and international academic achievement evaluations that examine the skills and knowledge of students not only in Peru but also in other Latin American countries in different academic domains. One of these examples is the Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (LLECE), in which Peru participated, in order to evaluate and compare the performance achieved by Latin American students of 3rd and 6th grade in core areas like Language, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. Peru ranks, together with other Latin countries, with scores below the average (Regional Office for Education of UNESCO, 2008). The low ranking of the Peruvian educational system carries heavy implications and consequences, especially to the intellectual and social development of learning disabled Peruvian children. Understanding the relation between academic performance and child development is of paramount importance. The present study examines how spelling, reading and arithmetic performances are associated to various child variables (gender, intelligence, and age), and distal variables such as Socio-Economic Status (SES) or type of school. The subjects in the study were 1.129 elementary school children who were in the 6th grade (11 - 12 years old) in Metropolitan Lima, Perú. Children completed four different tests: In the reading area, the subtest of Procesos Lectores (PROLEC-SE; Cuetos & Ramos, 1999), Reading of Word and Pseudo-word; in the Arithmetic domain, the Number Facility from the Kit of Factor Referenced Cognitive Tests of Ekstrom, French, and Harman (1979) and in the spelling domain, the Spelling Achievement Test from Dioses (2001) was used. The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) was measured using Raven's Progressive Matrices Test (Raven, J., Raven, J.C., & Court, 2004, updated edition). Some preliminary analyses were conducted beforehand in order to overview and examine the structure of the data. Following this, and because of the hierarchical structure of the data (students within classes within schools) multilevel analyses were conducted. Results showed, first and foremost, a great impact of (a) type of school, private schools performed better than in the public sector; (b) intelligence, another essential variable (the higher the IQ the better the academic achievement), and partially of (c) gender, girls showed prevalence over boys in spelling. Likewise, we did not encounter any significant results of socio-economic status in the multilevel analysis. Based on these results, some practical and pedagogical implications were discussed, such as the fundamental effort to bring the lower achievement group into average levels of learning with remedial work, otherwise these students will lack the requisite skills needed to fulfill their secondary school academic expectations. Notwithstanding, we have to point out some limitations such as the lack of data from rural zones that could prevent us from comparisons between rural and urban zones. Future work is necessary in order to investigate academic performance associated with other variables that might influence the child's development, such as parenting behavior or psychosocial factors.

I have a web page that connects form controls to an XML DSO. The problem is
that when the table in SQL Server 2000 is empty (No Rows) then the stored
procedure that returns the XML doesn't return the structure of the table,
thus the DSO fails. Everything works fine as long as there is data in the
How do I return the structure of the table in XML to the ASP page?
Should I consider using ADO recordsets instead?
This is the flow process.
--SQL Server 2000 stored procedure (spGetTable1)
-->COM+ object processes request and validates response
-->ASP page uses the XML passed in from the COM object
I think I need to create an XSL schema but I'm not sure.
If anyone could point me in the right direction with an example, book, web
site, etc. that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

These DIY studded shoes are so easy to make, just takes a little bit of patience and time.
I decided I wanted a sporty shoe for this DIY, also the fabric of the shoe was soft enough to facilitate the making of the holes.
First just take a white pen (i used a make-up pencil), and mark where you want the studs. Take in consideration how big the stud is, depending on how close to eachother you want the studs.
Make a hole either with the machine you use for adding holes to leather belts,
or a nail, and attach the studs. Voilá!

Openly Gay Sergeant & DADT Activist Darren Manzella Has Died
Updated 12:00 p.m. pst
The cause of Darren Manzella's death has been revealed as a series of car accidents that took place on Thursday night.
The Democrat and Chronicle has more:
Cpl. John Helfer of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, said the incident began as a two-car crash on the westbound lanes of the highway in Pittsford, when one car sideswiped another car about 8:30 p.m. Helfer did not identify the man killed.
The man stopped his car in the middle lane of I-490, got out and started pushing it from behind, Helfer said. A sport utility vehicle rear-ended the car, pinning the man between the two vehicles.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, Helfer said. The other two involved drivers were taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.
The paper also reports that Darren's father learned about his son's death from online news stories, and has yet to hear from police.
Darren Manzella, the outspoken openly-gay U.S. Army Sergeant whom we've written about extensively here at InstinctMagazine.com, passed away late Thursday. The details on the untimely loss of one of the hardest working activists who helped usher in a new post-"Don't Ask Don't Tell" era are still scant, but the reaction pouring in from both the LGBT and the military communities are heart wrenching.
Check out Darren's Facebook page for a steady stream of condolences and check back here for updates on the community's immeasurable loss.

The defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals, led by QB Kurt Warner, make their first ever appearance on "NBC Sunday Night Football" as they host Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in a battle of two of the NFL's most potent offenses. Coverage begins with "Football Night in America," Sunday at 7 p.m. ET with Bob Costas hosting live from inside the stadium. Al Michaels (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst) and Andrea Kremer (sideline reporter) call the action from University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann will co-host FNIA from NBC's 30 Rockefeller Plaza studios joined by Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison and Sports Illustrated's Peter King. "Football Night's" Tiki Barber will report from the Dolphins-Chargers game in San Diego.
COLLINSWORTH ON THE MATCHUP: "A great pitchers duel. For my money it's worth the price of admission to see either Manning or Warner but both! This is a good early test for the Cardinals to see if they're for real."
DUNGY ON THE MATCHUP: "This is an explosive matchup and both quarterbacks know they'll have to keep putting points on the board. These are two playoff ready teams."
DUNGY ON CARDINALS AND IF THEY ARE FOR REAL: "They had a lot of doubters after week one but they showed me a lot last week. I don't think last year was a fluke. They are a very explosive team and Kurt Warner is too much of a leader. I think they are for real and they will be in the mix at the end."
DUNGY ON COLTS: "Jim Caldwell has put his stamp on this team, particularly on defense. This is a veteran group that is mentally tough."
COLTS VS. CARINALS: The Colts and Cardinals have met only 13 previous times dating back to 1961 when they were the Baltimore Colts and the St. Louis Cardinals respectively. The Colts hold a 7-6 in the series and have wins in three straight matchups including a 17-13 win in their last meeting in 2005.
COLTS-CARDINALS IN PRIMETIME: This is the Cardinals first ever appearance on "NBC Sunday Night Football" and their first time on the NFL's premier primetime package (SNF 2006-Present, MNF 1970-2005) since 1999. This is the first of two Cardinals games on SNF this season. They will travel to the Meadowlands in Week 7 to take on the Giants. The Colts are making their first of three 2009 appearances on "Sunday Night Football." They travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans in an AFC South battle in Week 5 and host Tom Brady and the Patriots in Week 10. They are now 7-3 overall since the NFL's premier primetime package moved to NBC in 2006 and their 11 SNF appearances ties them with the Cowboys for the most for any team.
NBC SPORTS OFF TO RECORD START WITH NFL: Last Sunday night's Giants-Cowboys game drew 24.8 million viewers, the most ever for a "Sunday Night Football" game surpassing last year's Giants-Cowboys game (23.1 million on Dec. 14, 2008) and the best delivery for any primetime regular-season NFL game in 12 years (Broncos-49ers, 27.0 million on Dec. 15, 1997).
The "Sunday Night Football" season-to-date average of 22.3 million viewers is the best start to a season in SNF history and the best two-week NFL primetime start dating back to 1996 (23.1 million on ABC).
"SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL EXTRA": For the second straight season, the 17-game Sunday Night Football schedule will be available to fans on NBC Sports as well as streamed live on NBCSports.com and NFL.com.
The live coverage on NBCSports.com and NFL.com will once again come from NBC Sports' broadcast of Sunday Night Football plus four additional camera angles and several new interactive features. Sunday Night Football Extra will employ a full HD-quality player using Microsoft Silverlight and Smooth Streaming that will help set new benchmarks for live streaming video cross-platform. The video player, the highest quality yet, will include full DVR and functionality allowing the user to pause and scroll back-and-forth even review plays in "slo-mo" — all while watching live video.
ROTOWORLD.COM'S WEEK 3 FANTASY SLEEPER PICKS: Rotoworld.com managing editor Gregg Rosenthal, who was named Fantasy Football Writer of the Year by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, picks his fantasy sleepers for Week 3.
1. Trent Edwards, Bills QB vs. Saints: New Orleans' offense will torch Buffalo, which will have Edwards playing catch-up all game against a shaky Saints secondary.
2. Byron Leftwich, Bucs QB vs. Giants: The new king of garbage time figures to be trailing early against the Giants – and throwing often.
3. Chris Wells, Cardinals RB vs. Colts: Indy's rush defense has struggled to get off the field, and don't have the size to deal with Arizona's bruising rookie.
4. Mike Sims-Walker, Jaguars WR vs. Texans: Formerly just "Walker" the new single hyphenate is Jacksonville's most talented wideout and he's back in the starting lineup. Pick him up!
5. 49ers Defense vs. Vikings: Young, improving unit + Brett Favre = Turnovers.
Football Night in America begins every Sunday at 7 p.m. ET

In any case, one has no need to do such a > thing. I find that hard to believe, in both cases. I and plenty of others do it all the time, and of course there is need. Just (perhaps) not in your code. Although maybe I shouldn't have said "most C programmers" -- I meant "in the context of C programmers who are writing fortran-like numerical code for e.g. physics". In systems code or text processing code I could easily believe that it is quite rare. In physics it is not. As a single example, if one is writing physics code summing matrices with angular momentum indices, the natural range is l = 0,1,2,3...; m = -l,-l+1,-l+2...0,...l-2,l-1,l. The array is triangular and the indices don't start at 0. I have plenty of code in force that sums expressions involving the Gaunt numbers, which tabulate with three PAIRS of angular momentum indices that each run over this sort of range, often asymmetrically (since the angular momentum indices must triangle and because there are symmetry relations, one only needs to allocate enough space so l1_max + l2_max = l3_max). Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, 6j symbols, and 9j symbols have similar indexing issues (as bad or worse). One CAN, of course, solve this problem several ways in C. a) Allocate a vector large enough to exactly hold the whole thing and use complicated pointer arithmetic to compute the displacements of each element (incorporated into a macro or whatever). b) Allocate a matrix[lmax][2*lmax+1] and waste roughly half the space (or worse, for e.g. Gaunt numbers) and use a bit LESS complicated pointer arithmetic to deal with the m displacement. This is the Fortran way, as a general rule, although to save space in the old days I used to use method a) in Fortran as well. UGLY code, very difficult to debug. Nowadays space on an angular momentum index scale is largely a "who cares" sort of thing, but it was not always so and my first efforts in C were on machines with 640K of user space total (with much less than that available for actual data) under DOS, where I really truly cared. c) malloc a vector large enough to exactly hold the whole thing, allocate a **matrix and malloc a set of addresses of length lmax+1 into it, then fill it with the shifted displacements of the m-indexed subvectors, per l. A tiny bit slower, perhaps (although not usually a whole lot slower) but totally easy to read. In the first case one accesses any element with a truly horrible expression (I once upon a time or three have coded it, because I solved sets of coupled ODEs with angular momentum indices for years and ODE solvers invariably want vector arguments, not **pointers). In the second case one access a somewhat ugly expression and wastes a lot of space. In the third case one can pass the ODE solver the vector it so passionately wants but write the derivs routine in a perfectly literal translation of the algebraic formula, summing l and m over their natural ranges in all nested loops. Then there is the general problem of dynamic allocation of arrays, which I thought was nearly always done according to either c) a loop of mallocs, but malloc is expensive and there IS no guarantee that successive mallocs in a program will return contiguous blocks so if you want to ensure that a dynamic matrix is a single block of continuous memory internally you have to allocate it all at once and put the appropriate addresses in a suitable **pointer. And finally there is the convolution of this problem with structs, especially dynamically allocated structs with unusual index ranges. Sure, these tricks aren't needed in all C programs -- plenty of them can do fine with just: double x[10],y[10][10],z[10] and C programmers quickly grow used to messing with the fact that maybe half of all loops they might want to program "naturally" run from 1 to N and not 0 to N-1. But a lot of numerical C programmers simply write a matrix allocate subprogram (not unlike the one(s) in Numerical Recipes) that lets them dynamically allocate *x,**y,***z and run the loop indices from whatever to whatever for rectilinear allocation, or (in my case) write a somewhat more complex allocator for non-rectilinear allocation. If one has to do a lot of algebra to convert an complicated algebraic expression from its natural form in the literature to a displaced-by-one (or displaced by l+1) form, it's a lot simpler and more reliable to do this than it is to write an expression in code that CANNOT be compared to the expression being encoded in the literature without a half-page of algebra rederiving its C-indexed form. > (This is not to say that when one calls malloc, if you're calling > malloc to allocate an array, that you don't pass it a single size_t > indicating what you're looking for, but that's a different issue.) How? Am I missing something? That's just what I said. A common practice (nearly universal in dynamically allocated arrays that you want to be in contiguous memory) is to malloc a single size_t. SOME programmers then access the array using a macro or displacement arithmetic, but one can just transform it into a directly addressable array, and in the process free oneself from the indices-start-at-0 and things-must-be-rectilinear rules. rgb > > Perry > -- Robert G.

A young mum with terminal cancer has told of her heartbreak at the prospect of not seeing her children grow up.
Danielle Williams said she faces a "ticking time bomb" after doctors told her she could have just five years left to live.
The 28-year-old was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last November and the disease has now spread to other parts of her body, including her stomach, bowel and liver.
The cancer is so aggressive it cannot be treated.
Danielle, of Valley View Close, Hasland, said: "When I got the news, I was absolutely devastated – nobody wants to hear they've got a terminal illness.
"The saddest thing is I won't be here to see my children grow up – it's just heartbreaking."
Danielle, who has sons Oliver, eight, and Charlie, six, with husband Lee, said she wants to spend as much time as possible with her family and friends.
She added: "There are times when I think 'why me?' but I'm trying to remain optimistic and taking each day as it comes.
"I'm looking forward to going to Spain with my family later this year – it could be my last holiday so it will mean a lot."
Danielle said her battle has inspired her to organise future fundraising events for cancer charities.
She said she has received "absolutely amazing" support from her friends and family during her battle so far. She gave a special mention to her dad, Gordon Browes, her mother and father-in-law, Diane and Dave Williams, and her friend, Jane Johnson.

Pets, Pets, Pets
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."- St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)
Thus, it is only fitting that October 4th, the traditional feast day for this patron saint of all animals, celebrated with blessings of beloved pets, closely precedes a newer recognition date- October16th- National Feral Cat Daya date that spotlights less fortunate felines. Divine intervention alone is not enough for the over 70 million feral cats in the US.
National Feral Cat Day was founded in 2001 by Alley Cat Allies based near Washington DC to honor feral cat caregivers, educate all about non-lethal cat population control, and to recruit more individuals and groups to endorse TNR (Trap Neuter Release). October 16th was chosen because it is the anniversary of the incorporation of Alley Cat Allies. A feral cat is different from a stray cat. A stray cat is a pet cat who is lost or abandoned. A feral is the offspring of stray or of other unsterilized ferals.
The message this year is a bit edgier because Alley Cat Allies thinks it is time to stir people up, to help public officials discover the facts about cats, and to begin to change municipal animal control policies. Basically Alley Cat Allies is saying that ferals do not belong in shelters since these creatures are so stressed in confinement, plus they are unadoptable. Shelters (including private rescues) cannot find homes for them because they are unsocialized, and most ferals above 8 weeks old have already passed the narrow taming window of opportunity. Instead- TNR works; TNR also saves tax dollars. It costs less to spay a feral cat than it does to have animal control euthanize her.
For this year's campaign Alley Cat Allies has prepared several public service flyers dubbed "Truth Cards", and pre-printed letters to mail to elected officials asking for funding for TNR. I've received feedback that these letters have generated some interest on the state and local level. Keep in mind, if you do read these "Truth Cards", since they address feral policies across the whole country, their animal control flyer seems harsher than current policies and statistics on Long Island.
• In conjunction with National Feral Cat Day, Last Hope www.lasthopeanimalrescue. org" www.lasthopeanimalrescue. org.( the Alley Cat Allies "Truth Cards" are links there too) is scheduling 2 events: 1)March for the Ferals- Sun. Oct. 21 from 10:30 to 2 to raise money for Last Hope's "Fix-A-Feral" program. Since 2003 over 4,000 cats have been spayed or neutered via this discounted certificate program. The Walk begins at the Last Hope Cat Adoption Center, 581 W. Jericho Tpke. Huntington and ends at the Walt Whitman Birthplace. For sponsor sheets, stop by the Cat Center, PetsMart Huntington, PETCO Syosset or call 516-486- 3158 or 631-205-5069.
2) Free Feral Spay/Neuter Day sponsored by Last Hope, funded by Pet Peeves- Sun. Oct. 28 at Basic Pet Care, 642 Rt. 109, Lindenhurst. Limited space, so appointments are required, call 516-334-6069 or 631- 205-5069. Reservations are filling up quickly. Drop off between 9-10 AM; pick up between 2 -3 PM. Yes, it is really FREE. Cats must be feral and in humane traps; (special circumstance cats in carriers). Limit of 5 cats per person.
During the first spayathon at Basic Pet Care in March with the help of 7 vets and many vet techs and volunteers, we were able to sterilize, inoculate, worm, deflea, and ear tip over 80 cats in one day. (See Beacon "Pets" column archived link- 3/22/ 07 for more details). Hopefully October 28th will be as successful.
3) Finally to help support the March and the Spay Day, Last Hope has designed the stylish "I Helped Last Hope Animal Rescue Fix-A-Feral" t-shirts, available for a donation of $30, the cost to the organization to alter 1 cat. Mine came in the mail yesterday. It makes the ultimate "Cat Lady" fashion statement.
This week two "artsy" fellows are the poster pets at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon. "Dali" #18689 is a handsome longhaired tuxedo kitten sporting a goatee. He's a perfect example of that critical period to socialize cats. This scared baby, about 6 weeks old, needed more handling than his brother before he trusted humans. "Matisse, a black & tan Chow mix waiting in Cage 13 since May, is one of the longest residents at the shelter. He did well on a temperament test. See more photos on the shelter's Petfinder list.
•Male: a Jack Russell in the Puppy Room; "Buster" - 3 yr. chocolate Lab mix in Cage 21; black Lab mix Cage 47; Hound mix Cage 9.
•Female: "Santana"- 4 yr. Shep/Lab Cage 59; skinny Shepherd mix Cage 57; very sweet older Dobie mix Cage 63; long time favorite felines: "Jewel"- dilute calico & "Faith" her tabby sister C-9.

Jacobs Engineering says good-bye to lucrative prime contract
Five small businesses have won an $851 million Air Force contract that had previously been a single award to a large business.
The Engineering & Technology Acquisition Support Services contract had been a contract held solely by Jacobs Engineering, but as the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center moved forward with ETASS II, it was developed as a small-business, multiple-award contract.
After extensions, the original contract had a ceiling of $655 million, and Jacobs had received $627.8 million in task orders over six years under the contract.
The new contract has gone to five small businesses:
SpectrumS4 is a joint venture of Spectrum Comm Inc. and S4 Inc.
The five-year contract will be used by the Air Force for a variety of engineering and technical advisory and assistance services. Most of the work will take place at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts.
According to a release from SpectrumS4, services will include acquisition support, provisioning and logistics support, modeling and simulation, configuration and data management, architectural support, test and evaluation, security engineering and certification, capability based planning, and integrated master plans and scheduling.

Who's Got the Top Stocks for 2013?
01/17/2013 9:45 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
This annual roundup of stock gurus and money managers might not get every stock right, but it does usually pick the trends for the new year, observes Steven Halpern of TheStockAdvisors.com.
Gregg Early: I'm here with Steven Halpern, editor of TheStockAdvisors.com, and also editor of the annual report, the Top Stocks for 2013 report, where Steven talks to dozens of the nation's top gurus each year at the beginning of the year to see what they expect for the year, and some of their favorite stocks.
Stephen, since you've been doing this so long, I know that you also track from year to year who the winners and losers were of the last year. Perhaps that might be the best place to start. Who came out on top in 2012?
Steven Halpern: When we covered the three top winners from last year, in third place was Vivian Lewis, who is the editor of a newsletter called Global Investing. She really went out the limb last year with a speculative play on Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), the preferred shares, that during the course of 2012 rose 90%.
This year she's looking to Australia as her new top pick, and she's recommending Aberdeen Asia Pacific Income (FAX). It's play on a stronger Aussie dollar, a weaker US dollar, and she also points out that this is the longest-standing personal position in her own portfolio.
She also recommends for speculators a position in Canada-based Bombardier (Toronto: BBD.B), which is a business aircraft manufacturer. She notes that they make rail systems and airplanes, and because of being in two industries, the company doesn't get coverage that would be typical of a company that's only in one industry. As a result of that, she calls it grossly undervalued.
Gregg Early: I'm assuming that they're both currency plays as well. You have a strong Canadian dollar and a strengthening Australian dollar.
Steven Halpern: Correct. And the second top performer last year was Mike Cintolo, who is the editor of the Cabot Market Letter. Last year, he went with another out of favor play, which was Lennar (LEN), the homebuilding company, which rose to almost 100%.
This year, he says he's going with an equally out of favor sector, and it's financials. Also, this is similar in terms of being a play on a rebound in housing, because he's going with Bank of America (BAC), which is very dependent on the mortgage market. He thinks that the company has gone through its rough spots, and after the past five years of difficulties, they're now in a position to not only increase earnings, but to boost dividends and possibly share repurchases.
The top performer in last year's report was George Putnam, who writes a newsletter called The Turnaround Letter. His pick last year was the office products retailer OfficeMax (OMX), and it rose 105%. This year he's going with two picks, one speculative and one conservative.
His speculative pick is MGIC Investment (MTG),
which, similar to Mike Cintolo's pick Bank of America, is very dependent on the
housing market. They're the largest insurer of mortgages outside of the US
government. A turnaround in housing would be a boon to this
His conservative pick is Cisco (CSCO), which he points out has an impeccable balance sheet. Management is committed to returning 50% of cash flow to shareholders through either dividends or share repurchases. That's his topic for the coming year.
Gregg Early: It sounds like there seems to be, among at least the leaders from last year, a trend toward housing, and at least improvement in domestic housing in the US. Are you seeing that through most of the gurus that you've talked to, or are there other trends in place, other sectors that people have been talking about?
Steven Halpern: Yes, indirectly. Not as much mortgage, but finance in general. In fact, in last year's report there wasn't a single recommendation for a bank or a financial services firm, and this year there are ten.
Along with Bank of America, which is Cintolo's pick, we've got picks for Bank of Montreal (BMO), we've got picks for Wells Fargo (WFC), and New York-based M&T Bank (MTB) was picked by both Jack Adamo and Bernie Schaeffer.
M&T has got two advisors selecting it as their top pick, and they both point out that this is a bank that did not need any help during the financial crisis. It didn't cut its dividend in 2000 and 2009 when other banks did, and they've reported quarterly profits every quarter for 37 ongoing years. That's a standout in the banking sector.
As you point out, it's interesting that the advisors in general are moving toward a position where they're starting to take a bullish long-term view of the banking sector.
Gregg Early: It's been quite a long time since something like that has happened.
Steven Halpern: Four or five years since the stocks have risen up on the top picks list.
Gregg Early: Is there anything noticeably absent from the list this year?
Steven Halpern: Yes. In fact, it was interesting: I went through last year's list to try to compare it with this year's, and the No. 1 sectors on last year's list were retail and consumer products, and the advisors were correctly forecasting that there would be a rebound in consumer activity, but those stocks are gone from the list now.
I looked through and there wasn't a single recommendation for a retailing outfit or a consumer products company. What we have seen though is that maybe what the advisors are portending is that there's been a shift from strength in the consumer sector to that now being reflected in the overall corporate sector.
This year, we're seeing a huge move in the advisors toward large-cap technology, which would indicate a strengthening overall corporate sector. Here we're seeing picks for Cisco, Google (GOOG), Intel (INTC), IBM (IBM), Oracle (ORCL), Yahoo (YHOO). Really a wide list of top-tier large-cap technology stocks that were absent from last year's list, but now are popping up as favorites of the advisors.
I'd also add to that that Apple (AAPL) is a recommendation of two of the advisors despite negative press that Apple has gotten lately and the pullback in price. Two advisors are picking it as their top play for 2013.
Gregg Early: Yeah, it's still early for Apple. We'll see. We'll see how far that goes. It sounds like there's a trend-I mean it sounds like a lot of the advisors are expecting capital expenditures to be up, which would be an improving economy to a certain extent.
Steven Halpern: Yes, yes. So it looks like they went from the level of improving consumer to an actual improvement overall in the corporate outlook.

March Madness…And April Anxiety?Posted by jstevrtc on February 1st, 2010
Call it what you want, but that's what college basketball fans might be experiencing as soon as next season.
The buzz today among college hoops lovers is the latest talk regarding changes to that holiest of holies, the NCAA Tournament. According to an article on the website SportsByBrooks from earlier today, after this season, the NCAA could very well opt out of its current deal with CBS and start negotiating with other networks for broadcasting rights, either in whole or in part. We're not saying it's going to happen for sure, yet, and Jeff Goodman reported this afternoon that it's not a "done deal" according to the NCAA. But the talks that are evidently taking place about this are assuming an expanded tournament field — specifically, a 96-team beast — which would evidently meet with the approval of at least one big-time coach (and certainly countless others).
As for when the NCAA will make its decision, your guess is as good as any, but late spring/early summer would probably be a good bet. Sports Business Journal, citing the NCAA's RFP (request for proposals) on the matter, states that the organization has until August 31, 2010, to opt out of its current $6B deal with CBS, and can do so at any time prior to then. Undoubtedly no decision will be made until after the 2010 season is complete, but with the NIT contract also up for renewal after this season, there's a strong indication that the NCAA could be looking to fold that tournament into the Big Dance. Other networks said to be in the mix for the Dance include ESPN (no surprise, they've been there), Fox (Joe Buck? Calling NCAA hoops?), and Turner Sports (OK, now we're alarmed – keep the Carays 500 miles away from any and all NCAA events).
Obviously, money is at the heart of these talks, as it is at the center of any negotiation. Increasing the number of tournament teams by 50% to a 96-team weirdness would obviously add untold revenue to the pockets of both the NCAA and the winners of the TV rights. It would also screw up the nice, even, symmetrical bracket and add a round or two of "bye games." Adding rounds means you'll have venues dying to host those games, and probably an extra week added onto an event that already spreads eleven days of actual game play over three weeks. And of course, the most important issue; the NCAA could never again hold up its alleged value of the term "student-athlete" as some badge of honor. With money as the only motivating factor here, it sounds like they'd still be willing to pull a greater number of students out of class for a longer amount of time.

It's unfortunate that defenders of same-sex marriage often feel compelled to "avoid the slippery slope towards polygamy". It doesn't help that many examples of larger families in the public eye involve patriarchal, traditional Mormon- or Islamic-style polygamy, rather than polyamory where women as well as men are free and empowered partners.
(Polyamorous relationships can be polyfidelitous, as with the Brazilian trio, or open. Not so different from couples.)
Maybe the "old paradigm" thinking of holding up traditional institutions as sacrosanct is starting to give way to the "new paradigm" that instead values the well-being, fulfillment, and happiness of people.
Maybe it's the beginning of non-descrimmination, but having one thing called "marriage" for heterosexual marriages between one man and one woman, and having other terms like "civil unions" or "stable union" and declaring the quasi-religious thing of "marriage is between one man and one woman" to be the only definition of "marriage" is a form of "separate but equal". That didn't work in the early days of racial rights in the midst of segregation, and it won't work now.
I really don't see that the government has any business dictating what a "family" can be, or who can form one, so long as there is freedom of association. If any two or more people wish to declare that they are a "family", have united interests and goals, wish to have their relationship with one another recognized, it shouldn't be anything beyond registration. Of course, it would have to be for adults - people legally able to enter into contracts and be of legal age of consent for sexual activity.
Note that marriage, as defined in the Bible is only between one man and one woman
Customs change over time, and the laws of a nation need to be flexible enough to accommodate such customs.
I am so outraged by the political definition of marriage being surrounded by the biblical definition of marriage. I have a truly great friend who has supported me though a great deal in my lifetime. Heart attack, Breast Cancer, and Hashimoto's Disease. I only look at him as my friend, not my gay friend. I always wish true happiness for him. The Constitution states, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", not whatever the politician's and lawmaker's say. I really don't think that our forefather's intended us to be so judgmental just because we can.
ORLY? There is an interesting case to be made for homophobia being a European import to many Asian cultures. Homosexual marriages between men (because they were still sexist even if they weren't homophobic) were well-documented in Ming dynasty Fujian, and it was only with the foreign influences of the Qing dynasty that homophobia became the norm.
There have been plenty of cultures throughout history where same-sex partnerships were accepted. I bring up Fujian because it's a unique case in which there actually were legally binding documents to go with the social acceptance of homosexual marriages. (Some African cultures also had socially recognized same-sex marriages, but they weren't much for bureaucracy and record-keeping the way the Chinese were.)
In short, there WERE non-Christian cultures that implemented actual gay marriage. There aren't anymore because the Christians convinced them their ideals were "backwards".
Now, now, the next thing we know, people will be getting marriage licenses for a union of hamsters.

Construction spending edged up 0.2% in June as increases in private nonresidential construction outweighed continuing declines in private residential and public construction spending, the Associated General Contractors of America recently reported in an analysis of new Census Bureau data. The construction trade association's chief economist, Ken Simonson, predicted further imbalances in spending, with further cuts in public spending likely to offset most or all of the gains in private investment.
"Private nonresidential construction is rebounding, thanks to renewed investments in power, manufacturing, and warehousing and distribution facilities," Simonson said. "A small rise in homebuilding also helped overall spending rise for the third month in a row, although decreases in multifamily and residential improvements pulled down total private residential construction by 0.3%. Meanwhile, public construction shrank 9.6% since June 2010, and appears headed down further."
Simonson noted that private nonresidential construction jumped 1.8% from May to June and that nine of the 11 categories that the Census Bureau breaks out recorded gains for the month. The largest monthly increases were in manufacturing and power construction, both up 4.0%; commercial (retail, warehouse and farm) construction, up 3.1%; and health care construction, up 2.3%.
Simonson remarked that public construction spending dropped 0.7% in June, bringing the total decline since March 2009 to 14.3%. The two largest public categories have fallen by double-digit rates over the past year: highway and street construction fell 1.6% in June and 10.4% year-over-year, while educational construction dropped 4.1% for the month and 13.0% compared with June 2010 levels.

San Diego's Hanohano Outrigger Canoe Club hosted another successful Hanohano Huki Ocean Challenge (HHHOC) on Saturday in Mission Bay, Calif. 2013 marks the 17th annual running of the Hanohano Huki Ocean Challenge, presented by Maui Jim Sunglasses and Ocean Minded, which was built off the Excel Surfski Challenge pioneered by club founder Egon Horcajo. The HHHOC is "an all-inclusive paddling event with the expressed mission to bring together paddlers of all ages and of all disciplines for the purpose of perpetuating growth of the sport and the camaraderie and spirit of Aloha for which it has become known," said Race Director Dan Van Dyck.
Olympians, triathletes, lifeguards, outrigger paddlers, surfski paddlers, traditional paddleboarders, kayakers and standup paddlers aged 6 to 90 got up at 0 dark hundred to brave some nasty San Diego weather and enjoy a day of competition and friendship on the water. The day's schedule included a fast and furious 5-mile flatwater race in the bay with some outstanding performances by Bayley Olds, a 16 year old member of the San Diego Canoe and Kayak Team (SDCKT) who finished 3rd overall on a surfski, and Olympic Kayaker Kristina Zur with a strong finish for the women's 12'6 SUP division. Thomas Maximus, Rob Rojas, Dane DeBoer, Jared Vargas and Dan Shoemaker finished in the top places in unlimited SUP, while the 14′ SUP division had top three finishes by Matt Becker, Brian Murphy and Rami Zur. Gregory Closier, Brennan Rose, and Chuck Glenn took the podium places in 12'6. The second race of the day featured some of Southern California's fastest Surfski and OC-1 paddlers in Southern California, including Danny Ching, Rami Zur, Austin Kieffer and veteran paddlers Mike Eisert, Rich Long and Brian Kummer.
The safety Crew and Race Director had to make the tough decision to run the long course inside Mission Bay due to thick fog which reduced visibility to less than 100 yards. "We would have lost paddlers for sure. It's not worth the risk," said Van Dyck. "Our safety crew, led by Kevin Halkola, have a lot of responsibility on the course; they made the right decision."
While the athletes were racing the long course and others were enjoying the expo, Les Hopper of SDCKT helped organize the Under 13 Kids races, which consisted of the "Yolo SUP Cup"; 1 in a series of SUP races for kids in So Cal, the Lightening Race; a Flatwater spring kayak race and an Open race for all kids on any craft. The Hanohano Outrigger Canoe Club views this as the most important aspect of the day for the positive growth of the sport we all enjoy so much.

This morning, the Today show talked to both trainer Larry Jones and veterinarian Dr. Larry Bramlage about fallen filly Eight Belles, who, as has now been widely reported, ran the race of her life in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, only to be euthanized after breaking both front ankles after crossing the finish line. Jones toed what seems to be the party line regarding the fallen filly: that horses are meant to race at such speeds and on such spindly legs; that, as writer Jane Smiley somewhat obnoxiously put it on Sunday, she "literally ran herself to death". Lauer quoted from the column of the NY Times' William C. Rhoden, who had the courage to ask the question on many people's minds: Is thoroughbred horse racing a form of animal abuse? The answer to that — at least according to Jones — in the clip above.

On "My Generation," Roger Daltrey famously proclaims, "I hope I die before I get old." It was 1965: Pete Townshend wrote the lyrics just as he was turning 20. Forty-eight years later, neither the singer nor the guitarist-composer has fulfilled that prophecy. Only one member of the Who did: Keith Moon, drummer and merrymaker extraordinaire, who died of a drug overdose in 1978 at the age of 32. (John "the Ox" Entwistle took his thunderfinger bass licks to his grave in 2002 at the still relatively young age of 57.) Still, it's a line worth considering in 2013. The Who is still around, and just what does that mean?
Although the Who stands as an outfit with only one-half of its original members, Townshend and Daltrey are getting away with it … and then some. Five years ago the two were knighted USA-style at the Kennedy Center and, in 2010, the Who played a raucous and underrated Super Bowl halftime show: the next level these days, it seems, after being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. And the band's performance at "12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief" was expansive and one of the highlights of the night. Like another stand-out, Billy Joel, the group pillaged through seven songs; the Who's set included a rendition of "Bell Boy" with Keith Moon lending his vocals via monitor. And the group is currently knee-deep in the second leg of an American tour, "Quadrophenia and More," that takes them to Europe this summer. It could be its last ever.
So, why keep going? It seems as though they have some unfinished business. Townshend — long a troubled figure with a blazing media spotlight upon him — released a tell-all memoir last year, Who I Am. And, then there's the issue of history: The Who has always been considered "one of" the greatest rock bands of all time but rarely "the best." When boarding the Magic Bus, the Who has always been seated at the back while the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Led Zeppelin fill out first-class. Townshend and Daltrey, approaching 70, are out to prove something.
?And even looking outside of its recent accolades and achievements, the Who has cause for renewed consideration. This is a group that contributed to the framework of how rock 'n' roll musicians behave: They break instruments and have bad attitudes. They brand themselves: Who wouldn't readily identify that Union Jack target logo with the group? They make money: T-shirts on the current tour are fetching $40 a pop. They come up with signature moves (Townshend's jumping windmill guitar stroke) and they bare their chests (Daltrey). They fight with each other like brothers, they have sex with the Western Hemisphere, and they write songs about it all. And, then, one-by-one: They die.
The band's recordings are the heart of the matter, though, and go a long way toward reopening the case on the brilliant band. The Who has recorded 11 studio albums that have, in turn, given rise to a myriad of greatest hits collections, rare outtake compilations, and some of the best live music ever committed to tape (including the granddaddy of them all, 1970's Live At Leeds.) Here, though, we consider those 11 LPs as a portfolio in its own right. As the Who criss-crosses the country, it's readily apparent that, to paraphrase Townshend, the song will soon be over. And it's these primary documents on which the Who's legacy will be judged.

The Panthers lost three players, including goalie Jose Theodore, during Saturday's blowout 6-2 loss to the host Hurricanes and now turn to their minor league team in San Antonio for reinforcement.
Florida plays host to Carolina in Sunday's rematch at 6 p.m. and at least two players — including probable starting goalie Jacob Markstrom — will catch early flights to try and help the Panthers stem the proverbial bleeding.
With Saturday's loss, the Panthers slid six points back of the Southeast Division-leading Hurricanes.
Coach Kevin Dineen and defenseman Brian Campbell refused to use the injuries as a reason for Saturday's dreadful showing.

"It's a great excuse for as bad as we started that game, as unprepared as we looked," said Dineen, whose team also played the third without Stephen Weiss after he was ejected for fighting.
"You can blame it on injuries but that's the ultimate cop out. It was a big game against the divisional leader and we could have reeled them in. We weren't prepared from the drop of the puck. And that leads to injury. If you don't have your game face, well, it's a man's game out there."
The biggest loss came early when Theodore was helped off the ice after he appeared to re-injure his troublesome right knee. Theodore, playing a Jussi Jokinen slap shot 2:22 in, stayed face down on the ice in obvious pain.
Theodore, who missed parts of last season — including the playoffs — with a knee injury, didn't put weight on his right leg as he left the ice. Theodore was seen walking without crutches but with a pronounced limp after the game.
Dineen said Theodore would be out for some time and that Markstrom would be headed to South Florida. Markstrom was held out of Saturday's game in San Antonio as he is expected to start Sunday against Carolina.
Markstrom was 0-2 last month in giving up three goals to both Pittsburgh and Boston. Florida sent him back to San Antonio because it didn't want to carry three goalies as it appeared Scott Clemmensen was out of his early-season rut.
With Theodore out for the foreseeable future, Markstrom is not considered a roster luxury anymore.
Clemmensen replaced Theodore and gave up goals on three consecutive shots in a three-minute span during the first — although Florida's defense didn't offer much help.
Clemmensen was quickly down 3-0 before Shawn Matthias scored to make it 3-1. But the Hurricanes added two more in the second and went into the third up 5-2. Clemmensen, who was pulled in the first period of Thursday's shootout loss to the Sabres, made 27 saves.
After Theodore left the ice, the Panthers' training room at PNC Arena filled up quick.
Florida also lost defenseman Dmitry Kulikov (wrist/hand) after he lost his footing and went down hard onto the ice and into the boards.
Scottie Upshall, playing in his first game since Jan. 31 because of an injured ankle, left with an undisclosed lower body injury. Jack Skille (upper) left but returned and played in the third period.
Defenseman Nolan Yonkman, 31, may take Kulikov's spot on Sunday.
"It doesn't matter who is out there, you still have to play," Campbell said. "You can't control who is out and who is in. If you want to be a good team, you don't use excuses."
As far as forwards go, expect Mike Santorelli (scratched Saturday) and Kris Versteeg (chest injury) in on Sunday.
Winger GETS PAID
Assistant general manager Mike Santos said injured winger Sean Bergenheim would come off the suspended list on Monday after Bergenheim won his medical grievance over the Panthers on Friday.
Bergenheim is expected to meet with team doctors to determine the next course of action — which is believed to be sports hernia surgery which would cost him the remainder of the season. Santos would not confirm that.
Bergenheim, suspended since he was thought to be injured while playing in Finland during the lockout, will be paid his entire salary for this season going back to the lockout.

We read an article about a fleet of research waka which spent two years criss crossing the Pacific ocean, observing rubbish in the Pacific Ocean. They noticed that if they found rubbish in the ocean, it usually meant they were getting close to land. Because of this, we infer that most rubbish in the ocean comes from land.
We wondered if the rubbish in our playground might have a similar trend. We decided, before lunch on Wednesday last week, to go and find out.
We split the school into 12 sections on a map. Each section had a group of scientist (us!) to make observations and inferences.
We put a red dot on the map wherever we found a piece of rubbish and collected all the rubbish.
After lunch we went back, and noted with a blue dot, any new rubbish found in our area. We also collected this rubbish. This is our map, showing where we found rubbish, both times.
We also classified the rubbish we found into types of rubbish and displayed this into this graph.
Our observations and inferences:
Well our group noticed that the red dot rubbish was everywhere Because some people just drop it and hope it blows away or dissolves.
In some places there is more rubbish than other places because some rubbish gets stuck in fences and buses and some just blow away in big clear spaces.
Rubbish gets stuck in certain areas and stays there like fences or places where the wind throw the rubbish about .
Our data may have some mistakes. Some areas we can't reach the rubbish and we can't fit all of the dots in the same place because some are under buildings and some are in the same spot so we have to spread the dots out to count it.
After we made these observations and inferences, we were left with questions as to why people in our school failed to put their rubbish in the bins! Why does so much end up back around the school after one break time? Maybe it is falling out of people's pockets? Perhaps it's the winds fault? Or maybe the students of Waimairi school are dropping it on purpose?
Since then, we have recorded how rubbish was dropped at morning tea and lunch. Basically, we spied on the school! We, as scientists, have completed an investigation into why rubbish is ending up on the ground. On Thursday the 18th of August, we went out at morning tea and lunchtime to make observations of you all, collecting data to find out how rubbish gets on the ground.
We split up into 12 groups. At morning tea we spread ourselves around the whole school to observe. At lunchtime we spread the 12 groups around the lunch eating areas and observed what happened to the rubbish.
We have made inferences from our observations and here is what we found:
At morning tea time, Waimairi school dropped 205 pieces of rubbish. That's 2 out of 5 people on average who dropped rubbish. 110 pieces of rubbish were dropped on purpose, which is more than half of the rubbish we observed being dropped. We also saw 46 pieces of rubbish dropped without the person realising that they had dropped it, often as they were walking.We also saw rubbish being dropped from pockets.
The places we found that rubbish had been dropped the most, were the Te Puna block, the walkway down to Ara Atu and the playground behind room 13. We think this might be because people playing in these areas may not understand why it is important to put rubbish in the bin. We also inferred that since there's big bushes at Ara Atu, people think they can hide their rubbish there.
Also, there is no rubbish bin in sight of the playground in these areas, so people lazily drop it instead. We think that most people do this because they think that they can hide it, or can get away with dropping it, even when they know it is wrong. And they do get away with it! Why don't people take a little walk over to the bin to put their rubbish where it belongs?
At lunchtime, 219 pieces of rubbish were dropped throughout the school JUST during lunch eating time. That's 2 out of every 5 people in the school on average. that is a large amount of people to be dropping rubbish.
From what we saw, 79 pieces of rubbish were dropped on purpose, and 44 were left where people were eating.
Just like at morning tea time, we think that around the school most of the people drop the rubbish because there's not enough rubbish bins around. Although there are already some bins, there only a few, and sometimes not in the best places.
We also think that some children might not be able to reach the bins because we observed the bins are quite a bit taller than some junior children. Younger students also may not understand why it is bad to leave rubbish on the ground.
We could maybe get more and smaller bins to show others that bins are valued around the school but we think most of the kids already know about why we shouldn't drop rubbish - because it will cause lots of problems for the animals in our environment and make our school look messy.
We spotted some differences between Morning Tea and Lunchtime. At lunch-eating time, more pieces of rubbish were dropped than the whole of morning tea time, even though morning tea is longer than lunch eating time. We think that more rubbish was dropped at lunch because more food is eaten at lunchtime and there would be a bigger chance of rubbish flying out of their lunchboxes. Lunch food is also more likely to have wrappers. However we also inferred that people might deliberately litter so that they don't get in trouble for walking to the bin - as we are not allowed to stand up during lunch eating time.
Under the classroom is also a common place to put rubbish. But the reason that people drop rubbish there is because they think no one will notice. But we did! But if you think that you get away with it, then you are wrong because we see rubbish everywhere, even in sneaky places where people will think you can't see it.
Overall, 424 pieces of rubbish were dropped in the 45 minutes we were observing that day. That's almost one piece of rubbish per person. If nobody ever picks this rubbish up, then by the end of the week there would be 2120 pieces of rubbish floating around the school. Many people dropped their rubbish on purpose, but also accidentally, leaving it where they ate or hiding it.
We think if we all work together our school can be cleaner by just simply walking to the bin, because just doing a simple thing like that will help to make a big difference. But we also think that during lunch eating time we should be allowed to stand up to walk to the bin to put our rubbish in it. We will be discussing this with the teachers. This means people will be less likely to throw it in the bushes, under the buildings, leave it where they were eating or just throw it on the ground.
We also plan to write to the board of trustees to see if we can have more bins built permanently into the areas that we've observed to gather the most rubbish. We also need bins that are the right size for younger kids as well.
So what is the most important thing for you to remember from today? Do not drop rubbish on purpose. It's pretty simple. Please walk the few metres to the bins, otherwise we will all be swimming in a pool of rubbish.

Partial Rotator cuff tears
Arthritis of the shoulder joint
Labral tears or degeneration
Rotator cuff tendonitis and tendonosis
AC Joint Injury
Biceps tendinopathy
If you've experienced any of these conditions, you may be a candidate for Stem Cell Therapy.
If you have a shoulder injury, or have chronic pain or a past injury, you may be a candidate for stem cell therapy. In about four hours, our physicians can collect and deploy your own stem cells to reduce pain and inflammation, and accelerate your body's natural healing. We use a nearly pain-free process to collect stem cells from your natural fat deposits or bone marrow. Our procedure requires only local anesthesia and, in most cases, recovery is almost immediate — you can be back to work the next day.
Get your shoulders back - reduce pain and avoid invasive surgery
"Regenerative medicine is a game-changing area of medicine with the potential to fully heal damaged tissues and organs, offering solutions and hope for people who have conditions that today are beyond repair."

Upcoming Seminar
Ask Our Doctors Your QuestionsRegister Now
Initial consultation
Our expert physicians will meet with you by phone or in-person to review your medical history and will determine if you're a good candidate for stem cell therapy. If we agree stem cell therapy can help, we'll schedule your first appointment in our offices in either Kansas City or Manhattan, Kansas.
In most cases our outpatient treatment takes four hours and is nearly pain free. You do not have to "go under." Our treatment is a nearly painless procedure that uses only a small amount of local anesthesia. On the day of your procedure, our physicians will collect stem cells from a small area of fat deposits through a simple lipoaspiration procedure. After stem cell collection, you will relax in a private room. Once processed, your stem cells will be injected into the area of need using a highly sophisticated ultrasound instrument with enhanced needle visualization for precise delivery of your stem cells. In most cases, we also administer an IV of your stem cells during treatment to further enhance your body's natural healing process.
Follow-up Treatment
There is virtually no recovery time from your stem cell therapy procedure. Most people are back to work the following day. Our physician will remain in touch with you during your recovery process to answer questions.
Payment Options
Patients who are considered to be candidates will be invited for a consultation with one of our panel physicians completely free of charge. Treatment cost varies depending on the disease state being treated and which type of stem cell deployment is required. To apply for medical financing, visit Bank of the Flint Hills.
One of the only stand-alone stem cell clinics in the nation
Experts With Integrity
Our expert doctors, technicians and staff are here to serve you. We work with the highest integrity and care to ensure that you're informed, comfortable and cared for at every step.
Same Day Treatment
In as little as four hours, our doctors can collect and deploy your stem cells in a nearly painless procedure that requires only local anesthesia — and begins the healing process immediately.

Obento is common Japanese cuisine homemade, take-out or serving in restaurant. There are many types of obento come with different main dish. However, I am sharing some simple modern obento made with sandwiches instead of rice or rice ball (onigiri). They are good for both breakfast and lunch, and much easier to prepare compared to traditional obento. Let's start filling the limited space with unlimited creativities and have lots of fun with child/ren.
Ingredients (makes 2 servings):
4 tbsp sweet corn kernels, boiled
1 tbsp mayonnaise
4 slices bread
Cheese for mouth
Seaweed (Nori) for eyes
Kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced
Apple, cut into wedges
Yellow capsicum, cut into sticks
2 slices carrot, boiled (for flower)
6 cocktails sausages
- For filling, mix together sweet corn kernels and mayonnaise then season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep in the refrigerator till need.
- Trim off crust of sliced bread, and 4 slits on each slices of bread as shown in the photo below.
- Place a tablespoon heap of filling in the centre of each slice of bread, wrap it up with plastic wrap and make a ball shape as shown in the photo. Set aside for few minutes so that the shape stays when plastic wrap is removed.
- Place sandwiches in paper case first then in an obento lined with lettuce. Add on sliced sausage for ears, nori for eyes, cheese for mouth, and a carrot flower for female puppy.
- Arrange in sausage, apple, kiwi fruit and capsicum sticks.
Cook's notes:
- Use a paper towel to absorb excess moist off from ingredients like sausage, crabstick, vegetable, etc.
- If you do not have little cutters for obento, try using different sizes of straw for cutting out eye and mouth.
