What you're seeing here is a hibernating dormouse filmed by Dave Williams of the Surrey Wildlife Trust Mammal Project. Despite his log-sawing, this slumbering little guy isn't in any trouble — he's just an unusually stentorian sleeper.
Dormice can hibernate for up to one-third of their lives. They wake up in the springtime (minus one-quarter of their fatty body mass) to mate. In addition to monitoring the sleeping dormouse population, the Surrey Wildlife Trust builds miniature hourly motels for the rodents:
The Surrey Dormouse project started in 2002 and consisted of just a few boxes on one of our reserves to monitor the presence of dormice. From this small beginning we now have over a thousand boxes in over twenty woodlands throughout the county. The number of records has increased enormously and also the protection of these woodlands, by incorporating habitat improvements into existing management plans.
Dormice hibernate during the winter in nests that they make hidden away on the ground. It is only in late spring, when they come out of hibernation and start eating, that they look for places to breed. This is where the nesting boxes become useful for them as dry, quiet places to have their young.
Heartwarming, like Beatrix Potter writing a book about conjugal visits. You can read more about the Surrey Wildlife Trust's mission here.

LONDON — Entering the wheelchair tennis competition at the 2012 London Paralympics, Israeli Noam Gershoni was a medal hopeful.
The former Apache helicopter pilot did not disappoint – he defeated American David Wagner in the finals 6-3, 6-1 to earn a gold medal.
Meanwhile, Koby Leon won a silver medal in men's individual H1 time trial, a road cycling event.
Both men were wounded while serving in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and were rehabilitated in Beit Halochem facilities, which provides support to disabled veterans.
During the Second Lebanon War, Gershoni was severely wounded in his spinal cord, as well as both his arms and legs when the helicopter he was flying crashed.
He suffered multiple fractures and was evacuated to Haifa's Rambam Hospital. After three weeks he was transferred to Tel Hashomer's rehabilitation centre near Tel Aviv where he was hospitalized for the next six months. Even after his release, he continued going to rehab on a daily basis for an entire year. Four years later, he still frequents the centre twice a week for physiotherapy sessions.
Gershoni, 28, first tried wheelchair tennis at the Beit Halochem facility in Tel Aviv four years ago. "I began playing wheelchair tennis for the fun of it, but didn't think for one moment I'd make it to such high levels," he said.
Playing in a wheelchair, Gershoni is categorized as a "quad," which includes players with varying degrees of severe disability. His breakthrough came during this past year when he beat 2008 Beijing Paralympics silver medalists Boaz Cramer and Shraga Weinberg, three times. He also won an international tournament held in Israel and made it to the finals in three other tournaments.
"Noam stood out from the very first of his training sessions and it was clear we were dealing with a very talented young man with a quick grasp and understanding of the game and a very high intelligence," said his coach, Nimrod Bichler. "He trains hard three times a week, works out at the fitness hall in addition to his physiotherapy sessions, and improves constantly."
Recently, he experienced his first success abroad in the Czech Republic, when he won the singles and doubles tournaments, partnering with a French player.
He defeated the world No. 1-ranked player last spring, and going into the London Paralympics, he was ranked among the top four players in the world.
* * *
Koby Leon was serving with the IDF's "Egoz" Special Operations Unit in southern Lebanon when he was critically wounded in the winter of 1996. An explosive device killed two other soldiers and left him a paraplegic.
Sixteen years later, he's 35 years old, married with two children and is well established in life. As he did during his rehabilitation process, he shut himself off from outside influences to prepare for the London Paralympics in the hand bike competition.
Leon woke up at 4 a.m. every morning to work out for an hour on his treadmill at his home in Kfar Vitkin. From there, he continued to the Wingate Institute for a two- or three-hour training practice on his hand bike, followed by two hours cycling in Wingate's oxygen room.
If he did well at practice, he got a pampering massage from his coach Meir Carmon.
In the afternoon, Leon spent time with his two children, Ro'i, 6, and Noa, 4, managing their household, alongside his wife, Yafit.
Leon's life changed on Dec. 24, 1996 during a mission in southern Lebanon.
"My spine was hit," he said. "[I am paralyzed] from my upper torso downward, and one of my arms is screwed up, too."
He spent two weeks at Rambam Hospital before being transferred to a rehabilitation centre in Tel Hashomer. When he was released, the doctors told him, "There's nothing that can be done. Sit in a wheelchair, take a pill every morning and come to terms with it."
Accepting reality was the last thing Leon had in mind. He set off to travel around the world, visiting the United States, as well as countries in Africa and South America.
"At first, I travelled with an army buddy from my squad," he remembered. "We got to places where the locals had never even seen a wheelchair before and they wanted to touch me. The amazing thing was that instead of other hikers distancing themselves from us, people just wanted to join us. This wasn't an obvious thing at all, because when we climbed up a volcano someone had to carry me, or crossing a river they had to lift me so I wouldn't drown.
"So both Israelis and foreigners, total strangers, all wanted to be a part of my experience. I didn't really understand them at first, but it really gave my ego a boost," he said.
He recalled one particularly special moment.
"I was at a pub, in the middle of nowhere, in a wheelchair and everyone wanted to be with me because of who I was," he said. "It had nothing to do with the wheelchair or with what I had been through or done."
That led him to realize that people can relate to others from all walks of life based on their attitude.
"There are lots of hardships but so what? Everyone's got his own problems. You need to say, 'This is what there is, let's go with the flow,' instead of saying: 'What am I going to do?'" he said.
However, Leon soon realized the high he experienced during his travels was going to come crashing onto the rocks of reality once he was back home in Israel. He found out that what people were willing to do for him under extreme circumstances was not necessarily happening when he went back to his routine.
"I studied computer sciences." he said, "but when I tried finding a job, I realized it was very difficult. I don't want to say it was because of the wheelchair, but people are reluctant to employ disabled people. I'm sure it's not out of malice, and perhaps I would have done the same in their situation, but the reality is that they don't call you back for interviews, or they say thanks, but no thanks."
When he was 27, he achieved two milestones: he finally found a job with a high-tech company, and he married a physiotherapist who had encouraged him to get involved in sports activity and in hand bikes.
Leon added a third milestone in London.

COLLECTION: Irina Bilka's Fierce Men Collection
MODERN SALON Fan Irina Bilka is a Tampa-based freelance stylist who specializes in editorial, bridal hair and make-up. In January of 2011, Bilka was named the Grand Prize Winner of Sebastian's What's Next Awards. She had the opportunity to travel to NYC and style hair backstage at NYC Fashion Week with the Sebastian Professional team for Alice Olivia. Recently, Bilka submitted this collection to MODERN through our Photo Submissions tab. Here are her inspirations for creating each of these men's looks.
Inspiration: James Dean
TRY IT: "I distributed a straightening cream in to the hair and parted the hair to one side. Then I blow dried the hair with small bristle brush directing the hair to where the hair was parted. Then I took a mini flatiron and smoothed the top layers. I applied American Crew Pomade for a movable finish and hair sprayed the hair."
Inspiration: Modern Day Boss
TRY IT: "I applied a generous amount of American Crew Firm Hold Styling Gel and worked the product from scalp to ends. Then, I directed the hair off the face and blow dried up with a bristle brush. I took a mini crimping iron and crimped just the font pieces of the hair. Lastly, I applied a small amount of American Crew Grooming Cream throughout the entire head and combed the hair off the face and flat in the crown for a modern shape."
Inspiration: Someone that is strong and is not afraid of pulling off a strong, edgy cut with clean lines and disconnection on top.
TRY IT: "On slightly damp hair I applied a generous amount of American Crew Ultramatte and distributed it evenly, from scalp to ends. I blow dried with a small bristle brush directing the front in different directions and the back section, back to emphasize the shape and create a brushed texture. Then, I applied a tiny bit of grooming cream for separation."
Inspiration: The Fearless Man
TRY IT: "On slightly damp hair I applied a generous amount of American Crew Ultramatte and distributed it evenly, from scalp to ends. I blow dried the hair with a boar bristle brush directing the hair towards the top middle. Once the hair was dry, I took a mini crimping iron and crimped small sections of hair to add more texture. Lastly, I applied American Crew Boost Powder and directed the hair into the Mohawk front to back."

Imagine for a moment that Dr. Frankenstein had been a wrestling fan. It would have made sense, wouldn't it? His monster could have been the greatest, well, monster heel of all time.
Now imagine, though, that the good doctor decided to make another creation that had pretty-boy looks, long golden hair, gifts of showmanship, business-savvy, and a way of speaking with a motivational style that would challenge Dr. Phil.
Meet Rock Riddle.
"Bumblebees cannot fly, we know that," is one of the first things Riddle utters in an interview with SLAM! Wrestling. "Their bodies are too big and their wings are too short -- they are aerodynamically unsound. But the bumblebee doesn't know it can't fly so it flies anyway."
It's one thing to read a bit of fortune cookie wisdom like that in this article. It's a whole other experience to hear Riddle espouse this logic with absolute belief in its truth. As the interview would progress, I had that feeling you get when you know you're being played by a telemarketer. With Riddle, though, I didn't get that other feeling that usually accompanies it -- wanting to hang up.
The difference, as is the case when selling anything in life, is that Riddle has the experience to back up what he says. He was, by his own admission, a type of bumblebee when he was growing up -- physically unsuited to enter the world of wrestling. He was also though, like his metaphorical bumblebee, unwilling to accept the facts.
"In my life I've done a lot of things to prove something -- to prove it could be done," he recalls. "I love it when people say �That's impossible'. I say really? Step back and watch." Again, the glee in his voice is palatable as he remembers growing up like the character in the old Atlas advertisements: the skinny kid getting sand kicked in his face.
He recalls hearing "it can't be done" in the local barber shop in his home town of Burlington, North Carolina. Burlington is not exactly a world-beater city, and with a small-town mentality surrounding him, Riddle was confronted by many naysayers when he spoke of his dream to become a pro wrestler -- and he especially got an earful from his barber. "The barber said �You'll never be like them, so just get yourself a regular job, smarten up and be like your daddy.'" Riddle remembers, giving his version of the barber a distinctly unflattering southern drawl.
"Within five years, though, I was in the area wrestling George Becker," Riddle continues, and there's that mischievous quality in his voice again. "I'm in the barber shop and I don't say anything. This same guy is cutting my hair and he just stops -- he just couldn't keep it to himself anymore. He put his scissors down and said �You did it. I don't think nothing's impossible anymore'".
So how did Riddle achieve the "impossible"? How did he go from a 130-pound kid squirming in a barber's chair to a 230-pound wrestler making the barber squirm? Well, in a fashion most auspicious for the future smart-mouth wrestler's career, Riddle broke in by bucking the trend in his home-town and creating a fan club for the locally-reviled heels Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson.
Riddle says on his website that "everyone hated them . . . really hated them, so I decided to start a fan club for them". It led to Hawk and Hanson, in appreciation of Riddle's sincerity and sense of humour, giving him that all-important helping hand when entering the business.
With enough amateur wrestling under his belt from high school to call himself a good, if not great, wrestler, Riddle knew he could make himself stand out thanks to one of his most consistent character traits: salesmanship. When he was on the mic he was as good as anybody at attracting hatred -- something he admits to honestly missing whenever he does the motivational speeches that take up a good amount of his professional schedule these days.
He goes on to explain that while it's greatly rewarding to run a seminar that helps people realize their own potential for success, it was a lot of fun "manipulating the crowd to feel what I wanted them to feel." In terms of the audience-crowd relationship so important to making a wrestling match work, Riddle feels that he learned the best lessons from working with one man: Pat Patterson.
"To be in the ring with Pat, with someone who is so good," Riddle pauses as he remembers, seeming to be re-visiting the ring in his mind. "To be able to stand people up at will, bring them up to the edge of the ring, put them back and sit them down again -- and having fun doing it..." Riddle doesn't finish the thought -- he just sighs.
Though the memories of being in the ring, and in his prime, clearly still give Riddle reason to pause, he never had much doubt about when it was time to give up the in-ring action and change gears.
"I remember one day waking up in a hotel room, and it's one o'clock," he starts, choosing one tale from all of his time on the road. "I figure I'm going to go out to a favourite all-you-can eat place. I know at the second lights I turn right and it's a mile away. I go two miles, three miles, four miles. I pulled over. Where am I? I'm not in Atlanta. Okay, I'm in Chicago."
Riddle then realized that life on the road, living in motels and having every night in every city blur into one continuous ordeal, wasn't what he wanted anymore. He remembers coming to the realization that "I can stay in one place and I can make money".
That one place: Hollywood.
Riddle would find himself steady work by making appearances in such diverse productions as The Gong Show, wrestling-themed TV movie Mad Bull, and Sylvester Stallone's own wrestling-themed urban-drama Paradise Alley. Before he landed on his own two feet in California, though, Riddle once again endured the trial he faced as a 130-pound kid: nobody thought he could do it.
"I see people who have dreams but who, because of the negativity of others around them, are told not to follow their dreams," he says, with a clear exasperation in his voice. "Get a real job, they say. Get security. In other words, live your life for my expectations, not yours. Living your life for someone else is very similar to allowing the waiter to eat your food. People towards the end of their lives look back and wonder what would have happened had they gone for their dreams. What do they have to show for it? And then those that are obstinate and stubborn and determined and tenacious enough to actually go for their dreams and achieve them, then all those people who said �You'll never do it' are the first people who'll say �Yeah, always knew you could do it.'"
That was all said in almost one breath. When Riddle gets his motor going on the need to overcome negativity and create a belief system that wills a person to their own success, one can hear the same passion he holds for talking about the days he spent in the ring. Perhaps that is what made it a relatively easy transition out of wrestling and into acting: when he was faced with the same "It's impossible" argument, he just couldn't help but go and prove the cynic wrong. Instead of a barber, though, this time it was Leo Garibaldi.
"Leo was booking in L.A. when I was making my transition and I said, you know Leo I think I'll pursue the acting business," Riddle says, looking back. "Leo's a friend so I'm not saying this in any kind of negative way, but he would just look at me and smile and shake his head. He said 'Rock, you'll starve, you'll fail just like millions of others, you're gonna get skinny, come back and beg me to book you again and I won't be able to use you because you'll be too thin. Get serious and decide what you're going to do with your life.'"
What Riddle does hear is the sound of opportunity knocking, and he found ways to successfully venture from the ring to the acting business. Therefore, just as he owed a trip back to the barber, he owed a trip to see his friend Leo. "I think it was maybe six weeks later I saw Leo and said "Leo, NBC, Thursday, eight o'clock,' and I just smiled," he recalls gleefully. "And I would make a point to go back and say, 'Here's another one and another one."
As the acting credits piled up, though, Riddle learned the one truth that he says all wrestlers share: "There isn't a retired wrestler alive who doesn't think they have one more match in them," he admits. The acting business, as steady as it was, and as easy as it came to Riddle, never held a candle against his time in the ring. Riddle even reminisces about the pain. "Recently I took my bike and rode it over a mountain, and afterward I said this feels good," he exclaims, taking deep breaths as if re-living the experience. "This feels like after I wrestled. I'll do a film here and there but I really don't have it in my blood. It's not something I have to have, so I turn it down a lot -- I don't care."
So, while he explored other avenues for utilizing his skills, including the authoring of a long-running newspaper column detailing his experiences in the ring and dishing a little backstage dirt for mainstream reading audiences, Riddle fell quite honestly into the managerial business.
As already detailed, Riddle has a flair for the promotional arts. He attributes all of his success, in all fields, to an understanding of what makes a person stand out from the crowd. "Why are there so many actors on television whose talent is questionable?" he muses. "Why are there so many great actors that have been trying for five, then, 15 years to break in? It's not about talent, it's about marketing, promotion, networking."
To underscore this point, Riddle says to look no further than the creative mind behind Paradise Alley: Sylvester Stallone. "When he finally talked Chartoff-Winkler into taking him along with his script for Rocky, the first thing he did with his money was hire a publicist," Riddle points out. "And then he's on the cover of all the magazines and people say �What a success story,' but a lot of it was orchestrated and that's what a publicist does."
So now Riddle finds himself with a proven background of beating the odds, and holds what seems to be a genuine desire to help others beat those same odds and achieve their dreams. Thus, APS Productions was born. It is Riddle's managerial, promotional company that has been helping actors find their way onto Hollywood's payroll since 1976. "I've made a difference in the entertainment industry," Riddle says proudly. "There are people starring on television shows because of my organization -- over 300 substantial success stories of people we've promoted and marketed."
The company has also afforded Riddle a chance to diversify his talents even further, allowing him to act as a producer on cable television. The ultimate project for Riddle, one that would give him a chance to flex every creative muscle he's ever had, is currently in development as a feature film that would showcase the world of wrestling before the walls of secrecy fell down. This, for Riddle, may well be the project that he considers himself to have worked his whole life towards realizing.
"Our film, whenever it gets done, and it's all a matter of money, it should have been done the summer of two years ago and it may be another two or three years, but it will be a salute," he begins, pitching the project with his patented enthusiasm. "A salute to the people who were in the business before it evolved, or de-evolved, into what it is now. There are people who didn't experience it prior to 1980, people under 30 years old, they don't know what wrestling is. When I talk to Dr. Ken Ramey now he says 'You know, the way things are now I avoid telling people that I was in the wrestling business because they don't know what it is and they think it is what it is now.'"
Does this mean that Riddle is yet another in the long line of disgruntled retired athletes who, regardless of whether they were a wrestler or a ballplayer, lament the current state of their beloved sport? "My goal is not to come out, like some people, and say Vince McMahon killed our wonderful sport and he's evil," Riddle asserts. "The man is extraordinarily successful. I like his personality and I like his sense of humour. I don't always agree with him, but there's nobody out there that I agree 100 percent with."
Don't take this to mean that Riddle thinks all is well and good in the contemporary landscape of professional wrestling however. "The sense of family, camaraderie, of protecting the business, is gone," he bemoans. What he is unwilling to do, however, is to pin all the blame on McMahon, who he says is everybody's favourite target. "I have no animosity for Vince. It's sad that something had to die because of his vision, but my gosh the guy is certainly successful. I would go up and shake his hand and say congratulations -- I hate what you did, but congratulations."
Riddle is not even convinced that if wrestling "came back" in its original form that people would be interested. "Dusty Rhodes allegedly made a suggestion to Vince, in response to wondering 'Where should we go from here?' with people jumping off tables and things exploding -- we've gone so extreme, where do we go from here?" Riddle recounts. "Dusty supposedly said 'We go back to wrestling.' I don't know if people have an interest in what wrestling used to be. What shows used to be on television twenty years ago? There are a lot of people who like the trivia of that kind of thing, but the general public will say �That show that was cancelled last season? Who cares?'"
Well, since Riddle has been a wrestler, actor, manager, producer, but not yet a wrestling promoter, one has to wonder: how long will it be before someone tells him it's "impossible" to bring wrestling back in its classic form. If he ever hears that, you can bet he would set his sights on achieving just that -- and you would be unwise to bet against him.

Let me talk to him!
Let me talk to him!
Talk to me!
[Verse 1]
I'm from the era were we murk the bearer of bad news like Leonidas
And family don't speak till tragedy reunite us
Scout to see who tightest and slay hordes
Who wanna test V.A. sword
I wanna meet the Fockers
No Gaylord
An angelic presence the delegates blessing
It's hell against heaven
My flow is god's relic in essence
Why in the fuck is you replicas testin
With a delicate pressin
I can blow you to maggot delicatessen
They restless til I'm soul clapped with no mercy
Till they witness the crown get hold captive and murk me
No industry flow active can hurt me
The upper echelons about effective as proactive to herpes
Instruct spit to keep niggas with chalk employed
The gods fully armored
Apology talk is void
What part beast you don't understand
I write the sickest shit to hit white sheets since cross burning Caucasoid
V, a verse for all the fallen that left me
A, may the armor of god protect me
Kill everything thing that's movin expect me
If you offended then I'm talking to you directly
[Verse 2]
Sick as an abortion activist germ biochemist
Strapped by yo clinic
Clappin' clients with a grill that's cryogenic
The ice that my tear ducts cry authentic enough to hypothermia what I
Breathe upon even freeze a pond
The game will never be fixed
Cause every new nigga heavily bricks
Or exploited like 70′s flicks
Machine and beast cleverly mixed so
Fuck around and get carried by six
Like the nuggets in 76
I'm a good fucka
A sick migraine cross contaminated with strychnine strains and click
Nines aimed
Split a soul three ways in an auction
You celebrity fit thugs weighing your luck and weighing your options
Subsequently no slugs can dent me
Spit freeze whatever rubs against me I creep like a stealth winter
Frost bitin shit till your health splinters
This is I, fill in you the blank lord and master bitch I'm self-centred
[Verse 3]
Niggas want me to rehash beef with Twista till the targets destroyed
Run up on him at 106 & Park with the toy
Fuck all that, that's a marketing ploy
In fact, I'm proud of what the nigga accomplished
Bark at cha boy
Envy breeds from not stackin right
Non packin pipe
Insecure non tough, tough actin tinactin types
You clients of panda pussy pimpin
The source of your extinction in existence is right here in black and white
Till I'm emancipated, I birthed terror that stans Al-Qaeda
Switch up, give a fuck if fans okayed it
All I got is my balls and my word
If the streets hold me to my word, we already know where your hands located
Your fears confirming my thesis
The time fabrics in permanent creases
Pressing the luck you weigh
When bucks spray, you lay
Uckfay ouyay
Want some positive shit?
Mother fucker play Lupe

So, anyway... that is MY story about a "rescue dog" who was only w/me for three months.
I don't know if Boss has any health issues, or if his behavioral issues can be resolved... but, please, don't blame yourself. You took him in, got him vetted, gave him a chance at a better life... it's already more than most people would've done.
There is no telling what he experienced in the past, or if his past still has an impact on him now... but if he's not adoptable, and you can't manage him... you know what you need to do.

Most of the features we take for granted in modern watches, like being waterproof, dustproof and self-winding, first appeared in a Rolex, the definitive Swiss timepiece. Which is funny because the company behind it started trading in London back in 1905.
It was set up by a 24-year-old German, Hans Wilsdorf, along with his English brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, under the decidedly unfancy name of Wilsdorf & Davis. They imported Swiss watch internals, known as movements, from Hermann Aegler, put them into cases supplied by third parties and sold them to jewelers. Fairly humble beginnings, but Wilsdorf had bigger plans (the subsequent career of Davis has not been chronicled so well, but it is assumed Wilsdorf bought him out at some point).
Wilsdorf was not a watchmaker, but that didn't stop him from establishing operations in Switzerland in 1908 and registering "Rolex" as a trademark. The name's origin has been open to conjecture. Choose from the onomatopoeia of a watch being wound, a contraction of the French term horlogerie exquise (which means "exquisite watchmaking") or just a made-up name in the hope that anyone around the world will find it easy to pronounce, as well as being short enough to fit on a watch face.
Rolex did not invent the wristwatch. That distinction had already gone to Patek Philippe in 1868. But the company's watchmaking was indeed exquisite, earning a Class A certificate in 1914 from England's Kew Observatory for timekeeping precision, an honor only previously bestowed upon marine chronometers.
However, there was still the problem of water, dust, grease or any other foreign substance small enough to work its way into the case, and the weak point was the winder. It needed to be hermetically sealed. Another Swiss horological concern, Georges Peret and Paul Perregaux, had come up with a lock-down winder that had to be partially unscrewed to operate. One of Wilsdorf's talents was recognizing a good idea and getting the patent, which is exactly what he did here. The Oyster was born.
"Oyster" is the name given to the waterproof case, inspired when Wilsdorf was at a dinner party and trying to shuck a particularly resistant oyster, quipping that he hoped his new watchcase would be just as difficult to open. These days, the back of a Rolex case is torqued down to the tune of almost 3.7 ft-lb, which may not sound like much for a V8 engine, but it's a lot if all you have is a shucking knife.
Wilsdorf's marketing acumen turned out to be as spot-on as the smooth-sweeping second hand of his products. He put a Rolex on the wrist of anyone stretching the boundaries of human endeavor, like Mercedes Gleitze, who swam the English Channel in 1927, or Sir Malcolm Campbell, who set a land speed record of 301.3 mph at Bonneville in 1935.
In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first men to conquer Mount Everest. A Rolex watch was part of their kit. In 1960, a specially made Rolex was attached to the outside of a submarine (a bathyscaphe, strictly speaking) piloted by Jacques Piccard that went to the Mariana Trench, the lowest part of the Earth's crust, over 36,200 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
In every extreme instance, the watches carried on keeping perfect time as if they were sitting in the display case of a Geneva jewelry store. By this time, they were also enjoying another useful feature: a self-winding mechanism.
The idea was far from new. It was invented by a watchmaker called Perrelet in 1770, but it took some time developing it as an application in which a wearer's wrist movement supplied the energy. It was perfected by Emile Borer, Rolex's head of R&D, in 1931. Now the winder only had to be used for occasional adjustments, making the seal more reliable. The system was dubbed "Perpetual."
Over the years, there have been many models based on the Oyster Perpetual, like the Submariner, the Explorer, and the Cosmograph Daytona. While other high-end companies have migrated to cheaper digital movements, Rolex stands by its all-mechanical construction. So perhaps $5,800 or so for a Submariner (with the "Mercedes-Benz" hands; the hour hand bears a three-pointed star emblem) is not so expensive. Maybe that's what they mean by "quality time."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
It was just before 10 PM on Tuesday when the air raid sirens began to wail in Jerusalem. "I grabbed the dog and ran for the bomb shelter," recalls Israel Today staffer Nadine Haim Gani.
The 29-year-old immigrant from Germany was at home with her two young sons, aged 3 and 8. She had already taken precautions by putting her children to sleep in the reinforced room that all Israeli homes must have.
"We heard two loud booms," said Gani. "We don't know where exactly the missiles landed."
Gani's husband was working at his shop when the attack occurred. He was able to seek shelter behind the counter.
"Immediately after, we received many calls and text messages from relatives and friends. Everyone wanted to know that we were safe," said the resident of the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo.
Mothers of young children are especially facing a difficult time right now. "Everyone tries not to be hysterical, but the fear is there," Gani said. "We now have to debate whether or not to send the kids to their usual summer camps and programs to maintain a semblance of normality, or keep them safe at home."
Those children who have been attending summer school and other programs have been practicing safety measures in the event of an air raid.
"The sirens freeze the blood in your veins. I can't imagine what the residents of southern Israel, especially those with children, are going through," said Gani. "We all hope this nightmare will be over soon," she added, concluding, "The safety of our nation now lies on the shoulders of our soldiers. We must stand behind them in prayer."

New parties and their success
0 comments (closed)
All polls agree that 50Plus will enter parliament after the elections, though they disagree on its exact number of seats: 1, 2, or even 3. In addition, Peil.nl thinks the Pirate Party is going to win one seat, although the other pollsters don't agree.
In this entry we'll take a closer look at new parties in parliament, and discover three rules:
- New parties generally win more than one seat.
- Pollsters never miss a new party: if a party gets 0 seats in the polls, it gets 0 seats in parliament.
- The opposite is not true: pollsters frequently give seats to parties who don't win any.

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate currently in production. Initial sales forecasts predicted less than 100,000 devices for the first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but numerous modifications were made at the conventional opening of the brand-new model year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made enough distinction to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has sustained with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Genoa NE are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automobile history that the Big 3 were needing to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version however, due to the additional devices required to meet new US emission and security regulations, was much heavier than the very first model. Efficiency was minimized and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Genoa NE were available in between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a third time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was truly big enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body styles offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford constructed 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Just a few weeks ago, the Rev. Charles Watkins sat in a packed Florence Civic Center with guests from 600 other statewide AME churches attending the district's midyear conference.
Suddenly, the bishop summoned him.
Watkins didn't think too much of it. Big moves don't happen in midyear, typically.
But the bishop had big news.
He was assigning Watkins to be the new pastor of Morris Brown AME Church in downtown Charleston. It is the district's First Church, the most prestigious and one pastored for 15 years by local NAACP leader the Rev. Joseph Darby.
Watkins returned to his seat wearing his best poker face.
Sitting nearby, Darby was about to be promoted as well to presiding elder of the 33 churches in the AME Church's Beaufort District.
"It couldn't have been more surprising," Darby said. "But you pick yourself up off the floor and go forward."
The bishop announced Darby's promotion. Then he announced Watkins would become pastor of Morris Brown.
Watkins rose and stepped forward in front of so many eyes, ears filled with applause, praying he didn't trip or fall.
Two days later, Watkins stepped up into the historic pulpit at Morris Brown for the first time.
He looked out over his new flock, which numbers around 3,000, rich with church notables, civil rights activists and political figures including U.S. Rep. James Clyburn. In 1969, the spot was the headquarters for the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference during a strike by Charleston's hospital workers.
Watkins' heart raced; his nerves twisted with anxiety.
"I was very aware of how huge it was," he recalled.
Servant pastor
Watkins is running late getting to his new office at Morris Brown one recent morning after receiving a call from a devastated family at his former church in Mount Pleasant who suddenly lost a loved one.
Would he come to them?
Technically, they no longer are his parishioners. But a pastor's bonds to the people go beyond the workday and district appointments.
So he went.
Once he has tended to the grieving, he arrives at Morris Brown and eases into a parking spot marked "servant pastor."
"Jesus came to serve, not to be served," Watkins said. "That's the hardest thing — people perceive the pastor is on a pedestal. It can easily sweep you up."
Darby is confident Watkins' temperament will keep him grounded in the story of Jesus cleaning his disciples' travel-worn feet.
"He is an absolutely excellent choice to lead the church," Darby said. "It's very easy to get to a position like that where people tell you how great and excellent you are. You need to have the temperament not to believe it."
Instead, Watkins feels the pressure of walking in Darby's long shadow, not to mention those who came before him.
"Folks are madly in love with him," Watkins said. "He was extremely organized. He knew this church very, very well and was a personable pastor. Plus, he was here for 15 years. It's going to take me a while to win people over and for them to trust me. But I welcome earning my way to be their pastor."
For now, Watkins plans no major changes at Morris Brown, noting: "It's not broken."
Army man
At 60, the ministry is a second career for Watkins, one he never imagined would bring him to such a prominent role.
The father of two grown daughters, he spent 21 years serving in the Army.
He grew up in Washington., D.C., going to public schools and spending holidays and summers with his grandparents, who lived 75 miles away in a small Maryland town. His grandma saw in the mischievous boy a future that he didn't see for himself.
"You should be a preacher!" she would exclaim when he memorized Bible verses.
He preferred playing football, running track, hanging out at parties and missing curfew. Nothing criminal, but nothing angelic either.
"That's who God chooses. He needs you to have the experiences," Watkins said. "You have to have been there."
Still, his grandma ensured he sat in the pews at her Ebenezer AME Church. She'd pull mints out of her purse, sending forth a scent that still reminds him of her loving presence.
But soon, he moved away, following his father and grandfather into the Army.
He served in many roles, including with the 82nd Airborne Division, the 41st Infantry Regiment and the ceremonial unit that handles military funerals in Arlington, Va.
While he was stationed in Germany, his social options sparse, he spent time in the base's chapel and talking with chaplains. It was the first time he heard the concept of God calling people to the ministry.
The idea pulled on his thoughts as he realized how much he enjoyed teaching and serving as a role model while climbing the ranks.
Was he being called to something more?
At one point, he was a drill sergeant. But his favorite role was training the sergeants themselves.
"It's not like you see on television," he said. "You're a role model. These young people emulate what they see in their drill sergeants. You can't find anyone in the military who can't name his drill sergeant. He made you a man."
Watkins was named first sergeant over recruiting in Greenville. The Army had taught him discipline, and he felt passionate about letting young people know what it offered.
But there was that idea tugging at his thoughts again, the calling to serve God's people.
At one point, he had worked with a man whose wife was dying of cancer. Watkins sat near the man, his Bible in hand, but didn't approach his colleague.
Later, he wished he had.
He went home to his wife, Dolores. "I'm ready to take this to the next level," he told her.
A new world
In 1994, Watkins preached his trial sermon at his grandmother's church. By then, she had passed away.
It was a cloudy day, but as he spoke, the sun forced through, illuminating the sanctuary and filling him with a sense of her belief in him.
"If anyone thought this is where I'd be, it was her," Watkins recalled. "Only God could put that together. All the emotions, all the memories."
His first church was in Belton, S.C., a tiny place with barely 20 members.
After 21 years in the Army, he had retired with a rank high enough that people stood at attention when he entered.
Not so at the little church. He learned how much he didn't know.
Eventually, with his doctorate in hand, he served at other churches and taught religion at Allen University. He came to the Lowcountry first at Bethel in St. George and then Greater Goodwill in Mount Pleasant. He thought he would retire there.
Barely a year later, he sat in the Florence Civic Center wearing his best poker face.
Moving forward
Darby is packing to move, no easy task after living in Morris Brown's parsonage for nearly 15 years. He will relocate somewhere in Charleston.
"You remember that it's not your church. It is Christ's church," Darby said.
However, Watkins assured his old friend that he's not waiting at the door with his own boxes. He knows how challenging the unexpected move has been.
Darby will continue with the Charleston NAACP and preach around the district.
And when Watkins steps to the pulpit at Morris Brown this morning, he will preach for only his fourth Sunday there.
He hopes to feel less nerve-racked. He hopes to smell the mints from his grandma's purse, reminding him of her confidence in him.
"Whenever God has me where I should be, then I can smell them," he said.

An I-75 multi-vehicle crash involved more than 45 vehicles near Sarasota, Fla. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
As many as 47 vehicles were involved in multiple crashes on a stretch of southbound Interstate 75 Friday, leaving mangled heaps of wreckage strewn along the Manatee and Sarasota county line, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
At least 52 people were taken to area hospitals, including three who were airlifted from the scene, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. There were no immediate reports of fatalities, authorities said.
A steady rain was falling at the time of the crash, which occurred after 3 p.m., the Herald-Tribune reported.
"It was confusing, a lot of cars, a lot of rain," motorist Julio Olmedo told the newspaper.
David Wagle, 57, said he was driving in the middle lane when he spotted a truck ahead lose control, the trailer jackknifing to the right, it said.
"For a minute, nonstop, you could hear crash after crash," he said.
Wagle said he escaped injury after his white Ford truck slammed into a ditch, narrowly missing a row of trees.
"My truck doesn't have a scratch," he said. "Every car literally around is smashed."
Authorities said I-75 was expected to be closed for hours.

This is the final post in our blog series about what success looks like for CFCA. Here are some goals of the Hope for a Family program, and stories that exemplify how those goals are being met worldwide. We hope it encourages you, as it does us, to see hope growing in families.
GOAL: We want to promote a culture of learning, within the program and in the world, adapting and changing as we learn and grow.
The CFCA Antipolo project in the Philippines is promoting a culture of learning through yearly evaluations with staff and sponsored friends.
Through shared learning with CFCA headquarters in Kansas, the project refined its assessment process and focused on program outcomes (changes and benefits experienced by program participants) in 2011.
The Antipolo project used this outcome measurement model to evaluate one of its socioeconomic programs ñ the Likas-Kayang Pagkain (LKP or Sustainable Food Program).
The program is designed to increase food security for families of sponsored friends through integrated strategies.
"Our learning showed us specific ways we could really improve," said AJ Montojo, a community worker.
The outcome measurements guided the project to prioritize different business types for small business loans, and revealed the reasons behind loan delinquency.
Because of changes made after the evaluation, 75 percent of delinquent loans have been recovered, and the project has increased clarity on how to better support local farmers.
GOAL: We want families to see themselves as agents of change in their own communities.
When heavy rains washed out the main road to his village near Santa Rosa, Honduras, 31-year-old Gabriel took a stand.
He rallied support from other fathers of CFCA sponsored children and helped build a new path, connecting their lives to their livelihoods once again.
Residents were unsure how long they would be disconnected from communities around them since local authorities rarely maintain roads outside the city and any repairs are often delayed or inadequate.
So they relied on what they've learned through CFCA's Hope for a Family program and empowered one another to fix the problem.
Women began selling tamales and bread to buy materials and hire masons to repair the road.
Their efforts inspired the involvement of husbands like Gabriel, a father of three, whose daughter Nallely is sponsored.
In all, 19 families totaling more than 100 people used finely pulverized stone, sand and cement to make the repairs.
During the three-week project, Gabriel learned how to mix and pour concrete and found joy in volunteering and working with a team, he said.
"It is very exciting to see the families be the creators of their own changes and being active members of their communities," Ana Martinez, project director for Honduras, said.
"These types of projects don't just bring improvements to their community, but bring everyone together to create a sense of community in each one."
GOAL: We want to ensure long-term sustainability of the program, empowering families to view themselves as responsible for program outcomes in partnership with CFCA.
Monicah is the treasurer of Bangladesh, her 30-member mothers group in Nairobi, Kenya. One of her eight children, 8-year-old Lona, is sponsored.
Monicah's seventh-grade education limits her livelihood choices. She used funds she saved from her mothers group to start farming.
"I planted kale, spinach and other vegetables," she said. "I sold the produce to make money. With the support of the group, I have been able to plant more crops and my farm is doing well."
This group model, sometimes referred to as the support-group or solidarity-group model, promotes the long-term stability of the family by putting control and decision-making in the hands of parents and giving families a social safety net.
Lillian Naka, the solidarity-group coordinator for CFCA-Nairobi, said the benefits to group members are more than financial.
"Group members support one another in times of need," Naka said. "They have learned to cooperate toward a common goal and take charge of certain areas of the sponsorship program, such as letter writing."
CFCA-Nairobi now has more than 6,300 mothers and 230 fathers in these groups.
Naka and other Nairobi staff members are helping the groups understand the goals of the Hope for a Family program and their responsibility toward their own success.

Morning Five: Columbus Day EditionPosted by RTC on October 14th, 2013
- The month of Midnight Madness celebrations continued over the weekend, with a number of schools choosing to reveal their 2013-14 teams to the public on Friday night. The most prominent basketball school of this weekend's group was Marquette, entertaining some 4,000 fans at the Al McGuire Center for Marquette Madness. The event trotted out the tried-and-true Madness standards: a three-point shooting contest (won by Jake Thomas), a dunk contest (won by Deonte Burton), etc., but one unique aspect of this version was that the school also handed out a "Lifetime Achievement Award" as part of the proceedings. Chris Otule, a Golden Eagles center who has played a full season in only two of his five years in Milwaukee and was recently granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, was the recipient (see the tribute video here). Otule earned substantial national recognition in 2010 when it was learned that he was playing major college basketball with only one working eye (he's been blind in his left eye since birth), but he also has become something of a hard-luck case due to the three significant injuries (two broken feet and a torn ACL) that he has suffered during his career at Marquette. By all accounts a genuinely nice guy, let's hope that his final year in Marquette is productive and injury-free.
- News came out last week that longtime Texas athletic director, DeLoss Dodds, will retire from his post overseeing the wealthiest athletic department in all of college sports. The 76-year old's decision to retire, though, comes at a time when the school's revenue-producing programs — football, basketball and baseball — are all suffering through relatively tough times. Notwithstanding the football Longhorns' upset of unbeaten Oklahoma on Saturday, the team had lost badly to BYU and Ole Miss earlier this season, and rumors are swirling about the security of Mack Brown's head coaching job there. Similarly for basketball, Rick Barnes' Longhorns were just picked to finish as the eighth-place team in a 10-team league (only ahead of the hoops disasters known as Texas Tech and TCU), raising significant questions as to how a program and coach who makes so much money and has access to so much local talent could have gotten itself in such a mess. Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News examines the political and operational realities of Dodds' retirement, ultimately concluding that the new AD will certainly have some hurdles to overcome upon arrival at his new job. And apparently, Louisville's Tom Jurich is not interested.
- While on the subject of athletic directors, the AP reported on Friday that a group of 65 ADs attached their names in support of a nine-page memorandum sent to a legal team convening in Chicago later this month to discuss updating the Uniform Athlete Agents Act (UAAA). Tired of dealing with agents, runners and other interested hangers-on associating with student-athletes in their revenue programs, the group requests that the penalties attached to violations of the UAAA contain higher fines and additional prison time. Specifically, they ask that changes to the law must "increase the incentives for and ease of prosecuting violators," offering a number of recommendations to make it easier to catch the wrongdoers. Perhaps the strongest part of this proposed legislation is the idea of classifying someone as an agent for purposes of the law regardless of whether they are registered as one — although difficult to implement, this could help with the runner/go-between problem that has become all too familiar in recent years.
- Connecticut head coach Kevin Ollie may have jumped the gun in revealing his school's latest APR score on Friday, but who can blame him given that his team was forced to miss the NCAA Tournament last season because of prior years' academic troubles. The second-year coach proudly told the media: "We got a thousand. If you want to wait until May, you can find out in May. But it's a thousand." The "thousand" he mentions equates to a perfect score on the APR metric, which basically means that all of UConn's student-athletes in the basketball program are in good academic standing and on track to graduate. According to Ollie, the program has emphasized the importance of education through accountability (i.e., players run if they miss class, etc.), which of course is all fine and well. But perhaps more than anything else, this improvement to a perfect score shows that the APR can be gamed like any other arbitrary metric if a school simply takes it seriously and correspondingly incents the players to do the bare minimum in the classroom.
- One of the interesting aspects to the NCAA's new rule allowing practice to start in September is that coaches are limited to only 30 practice sessions in those 42 days between September 27 and November 8. Not only does the extra time between sessions let coaches ease into their practice plans and teaching points a little more thoughtfully, but it also allows teams to do some other character-building exercises that they simply wouldn't have had time for under the old model. Case in point: Duke's four-day trip to New York over the weekend. On Saturday, Coach K transported his charges to West Point, his alma mater and site of his first head coaching job, allowing the Blue Devils to take in the pride and spectacle of the school responsible for educating the nation's future military leaders. By all indications the players loved the experience, and one might suspect that if the Blue Devils go on to enjoy a great upcoming season, they'll reflect often on this preseason trip to New York as the bonding experience where things started to come together. Have a great holiday, everyone.

thank you for the support!!
Diffused are better for eyes in creatures because the light is softer, they are more like a light bulb with light going in all directions. Regular LEDs are like little flashlights often in their technical info they give a degree amount, like 30 degrees or so. Diffused LED's put out light 360 degrees.
So better not really, just different.
Glad I could help....if I did.
