To her, it felt like a form of sculpture, a hobby that turned into a full-time business. "I still paint," she says. "But there is something about creating jewelry that is so personal to me." Love's necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are inspired by art, nature, science, religion, magic, and folk jewelry from around the world.

Slightly similair to this question, I want a moveset, EVs, all those things that I wanted in the other. I want to make a powerful bug team, So I need suggestions on which to use.
Butterfree@ Focus Sash Ability- Compoundeyes Nature- Timid EV's- 252 Sp.Att, 252 Speed, 4 HP Moveset-
With Compoundeyes and Sleep Powder, Sleep Powder will not miss(unless opponent uses Fly, Dive, or Dig). Once the opponent is asleep start boosting your stats with Quiver Dance. Once you think you boosted your stats enough start attacking and hopefully you will get a sweep. This is if you need a Special Attacker in your team.
Beedrill@Focus Sash Ability- Swarm Nature- Jolly EV's- 252 Att, 252 Speed, 4 HP Moveset
With Jolly nature you could be faster than some Pokemon, but if you are faster go with Sword Dance and then your opponent will attack and because of your sucky Defenses it will go down to it's Focus Sash. Then go with Acrobatics because with Sword Dance, S.T.A.B, and because you already used your item (Focus Sash) Acrobatics will do some damage.
I would go for Butterfree because it could sweep some teams and , but that's my opinion choose which works better for you.

The China stock market has ended lower now in four straight sessions, plummeting more than 90 points or 4 percent en route to a six-month closing low. The Shanghai Composite Index settled just below the 2,225-point plateau, and now investors are bracing for continued selling pressure when the market opens on Tuesday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets remains negative on lingering concerns about the ongoing European debt crisis. Spain has now formally asked for a bailout to shore up its ailing banking sector, and it was quickly followed by a similar request from Cyprus. In addition, Moody's downgraded 28 Spanish banks - although better than expected economic data from the U.S. may provide support. The European and U.S. markets finished sharply mower, and the Asian bourses are also expected to open in the red.
The SCI finished sharply lower on Monday following losses from the property stocks and metal companies.
For the day, the index plunged 36.76 points or 1.63 percent to finish at 2,224.11 after trading between 2,223.05 and 2,253.51. The Shenzhen Composite Index dropped 2.5 percent to end at 919.40.
Among the decliners, China Vanke shed 3.1 percent, while China Merchants Property Development plummeted 5.8 percent, Poly Real Estate dropped 4.9 percent, Jiangxi Copper fell 3.9 percent, Chalco lost 2.1 percent and Zijin Mining Group retreated 2.5 percent.
The lead from Wall Street suggests continued consolidation as stocks moved sharply lower during trading on Monday after seeing considerable volatility last week. Lingering concerns about the ongoing European debt crisis weighed on the markets amid worries about the impact on the global economy.
The sell-off came as traders kept a close eye on the latest developments in Europe, where Spain formally asked for a bailout to shore up its ailing banking sector. Europe is likely to remain in focus throughout the week, as European leaders are due to hold a summit to discuss the ongoing debt crisis on Thursday and Friday.
Meanwhile, traders largely shrugged off a report from the Commerce Department showing a bigger than expected increase in U.S. new home sales.
The report showed sales of new single-family homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 369,000 in May, a 7.6 percent increase from the revised April rate of 343,000. Economists had expected new home sales to climb to 350,000. With the much bigger than expected increase, new home sales in May came in at their highest level since April of 2010.
After moving sharply lower in early trading, the major averages remained stuck firmly in the red throughout the session. The Dow fell 138.12 points or 1.1 percent to finish at 12,502.66, while the NASDAQ tumbled 56.26 points or 2 percent to end at 2,836.16 and the S&P 500 slid 21.30 points or 1.6 percent to 1,313.72.

Yellow meadow ant description
Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Arthropoda |
Class | Insecta |
Order | Hymenoptera |
Family | Formicidae |
Genus | Lasius (1) |
This common ant is, as the name suggests, yellowish brown in colour (3). A number of features distinguish it from other similar species of ant, including the fact that the lower sections of the antennae and the tibiae lack hairs (3). The workers are around 2 to 3.5 mm in length (2).
- Size
- Worker length: 2 - 3.5 mm (2)
Yellow meadow ant biology
This species feeds on insects that are found in grass, including fly larvae, wireworms, woodlice and springtails. It also 'farms' aphids on the roots of plants in order to obtain the sweet honeydew that they exude (3).
Like all ants, the yellow meadow ant lives in organised social colonies, consisting of a reproductive female known as the queen, a few males, and a large number of workers, which are non-sexual females (5). During summer, different colonies release winged reproductive males and future queens at the same time. The trigger for their synchronised release is warm, humid air, typically after rain. Mating takes place after 'nuptial flight' takes place, when a male and female form a pair and mate on the wing. After mating the female lands on the ground, sheds her wings and searches for a suitable place to establish a new colony. She will not mate again in her lifetime, but stores enough sperm inside her body to fertilise all of her future eggs (3). This ant lives in colonies underground and, along with the earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris), is very important in bringing matter from a meter or more below ground to the surface of the soil, and maintaining porous soil (3). Colonies occasionally make mound nests in the moist conditions following rainfall or early in the morning when it is still dewy. Their nests are highly intricate, with numerous fine channels made in the soil; the whole structure is reinforced by the roots and shoots of plants, the growth of which is encouraged by the workers, who defecate into crevices in the soil. The mounds usually have one flat face which is oriented towards the south-east, thus maximising the benefits of the early morning sunshine (3). In situations where mound nests would not be ideal (e.g. in sandy soils, which would be eroded quickly), colonies tend to live beneath stones (3).
Like many ants, this species has a special relationship with the larvae of a blue butterfly, in this case, those of the chalk hill blue butterfly. The workers of the yellow meadow ant are attracted by volatile substances that the caterpillar secretes. They may then bury the caterpillar and protect it from predators (3).
TopYellow meadow ant range
The yellow meadow ant occurs throughout Europe and Britain (4) and found in Japan (2).
TopYellow meadow ant habitat
The yellow meadow ant is typically found in rough grassland and gardens, providing the grass is not cut too often. This species can live under the ground as long as the grass is open enough to allow sunlight to reach the soil (3).
TopYellow meadow ant status
The yellow meadow ant is a common species (3).
TopYellow meadow ant threats
There are not currently thought to be any threats to this common and widespread species.
TopYellow meadow ant conservation
There are not known to be any specific conservation measures known to be in place for this species.

- Larvae
- Stage in an animal's lifecycle after it hatches from the egg. Larvae are typically very different in appearance to adults; they are able to feed and move around but usually are unable to reproduce.
- Tibiae
- In insects, tibiae are the long (often narrow) segments of the legs that attach to the femora or femur at the end closest to the body. In tetrapods (vertebrates with 4 limbs), tibiae are the forward facing long bones in the lower hind limb (the shin bone).

Giving You the Chills: There's a Freezing Rain Advisory
The NWS issued a freezing rain advisory, and our resident weather specialist Jim Arnold gives us more details.
You may have figured this out, but duck boots, Crocs and flip flops aren't so great in this kind of weather. Avoid the slippage.
The National Weather service has issued a Freezing Rain Advisory for northern Worcester County, basically points to the north and west of the City of Worcester, our resident weather specialist Jim Arnold reports.
The NWS's advisory states that there will be freezing rain in effect from 4 p.m. on Friday to 7 a.m. on Saturday. Accumulation of ice could reach a tenth of an inch, and it will also create some slippery driving conditions, as well as possible power outages from downed limbs.
Arnold, a weather specialist with the Shrewsbury Emergency Management Agency, said, "The basis for this is the potential for cold air damming to our north and west. A shallow layer of cold air at the surface will be resistant to warming and/or mixing with warmer air aloft. In addition, the snow cover will contribute to keeping the cold air in place. The advisory is warranted for these reasons, but in my opinion the biggest threat for freezing rain will likely be well to our north and west."
Warmer temperatures will creep up for Saturday and Sunday, possibly reaching the lower 50s, and Arnold said a sequence of fronts and small disturbances in the area will create some periodic wet weather through Tuesday.
"In the beginning it will be rain, but as we get to Monday night and Tuesday, colder air will be seeping into these systems," he said. :This will bring with it the threat of a mix and/or change to a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain overnight Monday into Tuesday. This should not be a 'blockbuster' event by any means, but could be enough to cause poor driving."

We made a promise to constantly evolve to transform health care in a way that enriches your life. Our new building equips our nationally-recognized doctors, nurses and care teams with tools to help raise the bar of excellence even higher. Inside the MassMutual Wing, the Davis Family Heart & Vascular Center opened in March, with world class heart and vascular procedure rooms designed by our heart and vascular experts. And coming in December, our community will benefit from a brand new Emergency Department.
When we began construction of our new building, our plans included a new Emergency Department, but not right away. But you said: "Our community needs a new Emergency Department at Baystate Medical Center. Now."
When it opened on December 3, our new Emergency Department and Trauma Center began allowing us the space and flexibility to better meet the growing needs of our community. With over three times the space, the new department features:

Every year NTCNet hosts a customer appreciation picnic to give back to the community, and although it may have been a rainy day it didn't stop members of the community from taking part in the picnic on Thursday.
The tradition of an annual began seven years ago when the West Canada Creek overflowed and flooded the surrounding area. Members of the community stepped up at a time in need and saved the communications company from possible flood damage.
Cancer survivors, their caregivers and other participants walked the track and teams set up tents and canopies and conducted fundraisers as the community came together for the fourth annual Relay for Life of Dolgeville.
And they had their own reasons for taking part in the 24-hour event.

Microsoft Offers Big Bounties To Hackers For Security Bugs
For years, Microsoft has refused to offer financial rewards to researchers who tell the company about security flaws in its software. But the company changed its tune after it received a growing stream of reports through third-party bug buying programs like the Zero Day Initiative and Verisign's iDefense.

Leaders in the education sector are more positive than their peers in Financial Services, Healthcare and the Public Sector when it comes to the impacts of technology. 90 per cent of education leaders, the highest of those surveyed, believe technology has made them more imaginative and creative at work, with 80 per cent saying it has made them more productive. The biggest challenge for education leaders is that technology is evolving more quickly than its processes or ways to use it – with more than half (52 per cent) saying this was the case.

Technology-led change is all around us, significantly changing the way we work. But is it making us more creative, productive and responsive to client needs?
How will the relationship between people and technology change in the future? At Ricoh, we believe technology should enrich rather than compete with human skills. Success comes from creating innovative processes that empower that collaboration.
Related Articles
Global business leaders are positive about the impacts of technology on creativity and innovation but are concerned about keeping up with the pace of change. European business leaders show more concern than those in Asia and North America, with 45 per cent saying they are worried about not being able to keep up with technology and losing competitive edge, compared to 35 per cent in Asia and 37 per cent in North America.
The speed of change is healthcare's biggest technology headache. As telehealth grows across all healthcare disciplines, the need to accelerate the integration of technology and transform traditional processes has never been more important.
More than 90% of healthcare, biotech and pharmaceutical executives have become more reliant on technology during the last three years but the majority agree there is more room for efficiency gains. The two biggest challenges are that technology is evolving more quickly than the internal processes that support it, and systems are not connected to each other.
The latest impacts of technology-led change show mixed outcomes for the financial services sector. Financial Services executives are positive about the nature of human-technology interaction and the impact of technology on their operations. However, they do confess to losing money and customers as a result of an automated decision made by a computer in the past six months.
There is an opportunity to create a future where technology enriches human skills rather than competing with them, therefore empowering human creativity and innovation. For businesses, the benefits will be improved business agility and the ability to deliver a better customer experience. Using technology in this way will also help to make document processes more efficient, leading to more effective data security and compliance.

I've been thinking about a bass pedal board, nothing too elaborate. Something along the line of the DigiTech BP90.
Anyone use one of these?
If so, do you like it?
If not and you do use a pedal board, what do you use?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
No experience with the Digitech BP90, but my nephew has one of their similar pedals for guitar and he quit using it for playing live because the sound was too "digital-y"...
I've owned a Zoom B2.1u for a few years now and I like it. I bought it because my band doesn't use amps, we route the sound from pedal boards straight to the soundboard/PA; I also needed a stage tuner and volume pedal. It's a very versatile unit, with 1/4" (stereo), XLR, and USB connectivity. Drum machine, believable amp models, built like a tank. I'm sure I'm under-utilizing the thing, with all its possibilities, but I'm more of a "set it and forget it" kind of guy. More expensive than the BP90, but I think it's a good value for the price.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info. I have heard some good things about the Zoom's.
I don't use alot of effects, but when I do want a change in sound while playing live I would like it to be easy and quick.
Thanks again. I appreciate it.
I really only use the factory presets, and only a few of those; but I believe you can program your own for quick retrieval while playing live.
As I said, I am really under-utilizing the pedal. It also came with CuBase recording software I have yet to use.
My two guitarists both use incarnations of this same style Zoom pedal (G2 and G9.2tt, I think), so I feel safe recommending it. I think the company has come a long way from the cheapie plastic stuff they used to produce.
Good luck!
If I get one I'll probably use it about the same as you. Basically I would use 3 sounds, country, southern rock and mowtown. I also like to use a little chorus on a slow ballad.
I would really hate to spend alot of money just for that, but I don't want to buy cheap and end up with poor quality.
So I guess I'm looking for a good quality pedal that doens't necessarily have all the bells and whistles.
For what you're doing you may want to check out the more basic B2 - same effects platform (I believe), but without the expression pedal and USB/XLR connectivity, all for about 100 bucks here at Sweetwater. You'd pay that for a decent chorus pedal. Check it out on the Zoom website and read some reviews. I can vouch for the build quality and durability factor of the metal case.
Seriously I'm no Zoom fanatic, but I think for what you need, this fits the bill pretty well, especially for the price.
If you end up getting one, let me know what you think. I'm always interested in other people's opinions of gear.
I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning toward the Zoom B2. I'll let you know what I do.
Thanks for your help.
I bought the Zoom B2 and received it yesterday. I finally got to mess with it for about an hour tonight. So far I'm satisfied. I've found some really nice sounds and some not so nice . I believe it's going to work well for what I need.
I've just been going through it checking out the different effects. I have found some that I like, so I started taking notes. I'll learn how to tweak the ones I like then store them for easy access. As I posted before, I only need about 3 or 4 different sounds.
I guess the real test will come after I get it set up and then play live.
Thanks for your help Big Bottom Willie.
I hope it's working out for you. I am currently considering assembling a larger pedal board incorporating my Zoom B2.1u, as well as a few other smaller pedals (compressor, EQ, BassDriver, etc), with an A/B box; so I'll have everything I could possibly need on one board...
After using the B2 for awhile, I've been thinking about a large pedal board. Nothing really wrong with the B2, just doesn't seem to be what I'm needing.
One thing, the pre-sets are way over done for my taste. If I find one close they're using several effects and it's hard to adjust each one to the point where I find what I'm looking for. At least it is for me.
I'll adjust one effect, then move on to the next and by the time I'm through I still don't have what I'm looking for. A good chorus sound is one example. I will turn down the chorus effect and find there's a ton of reverb, turn that down and and the chorus up a little and the sound goes away on me. I have found a decent "main" sound and I've been using my Tech 21 chorus pedal.
So I'm hooking up the B2 - Tech 21 chorus - SansAmp. I think I would rather have everything wraped up in one board. I hate spending $3-$4-$500 on a board for what little effects I need, but that may be the only way to have a simple, easy set up on stage that gets me the 4 or 5 quality sounds I want.
Oh yeah, I know the B2 has a SansAmp model, but it's not nearly as good a the real thing.
Sounds like we have similar ideas about sound. I do like my Zoom for several sounds, and it does them well; but lately I've found that less is more, and have been getting great tone using only my Boss LMB-3 into my amp (and XLR-out from the amp to the board). But as my tastes are constantly changing, I still want to assemble a powered board to consolidate everything so I can change things as I go, if the mood strikes me. Please let me know if/when you choose a pedalboard, and how you like it.
Interesting also that you chose a Tech21 chorus (I'm assuming the Bass Boost model?); I've been considering that pedal myself. How do you like it? I've read some good reviews but you never know whom to trust.
Big Bottom Willie
I read your post for the first time a few weeks ago. I apologize for just now getting around to answer it.
I was still tryin' to adapt to the Zoom so I didn't really have any info for you at that time. Here is what I have since learned.
The Zoom does have some good sounds and I was able to use some of them, but I found I was using it less than I thought I would. I was also switching sound during a couple of songs and that was a little tough to do with the Zoom. That was the main reason why I was considering a pedal board. Boss had a couple I was interested in, but they're expensive compared to the Zoom, $300+ - $400+.
Another thing I noticed, if I wanted a James Jamerson sound I used the the pre-set one and fine tuned it the best I could. I never found the exact sound I wanted. Finally that dim light bulb brightened up a little. Jamerson played a passive P-bass and I play an active Jazz. Makes it kind of hard to get that classic P-bass sound.
So considering everything I went back to using my SansAmp DI and my Tech 21 Bass Boost Chorus. I was still using the chorus pedal anyway since I couldn't dial in on the Zoom what I believe was as good of a chorus sound.
I usually set my sound clear, punchy with plenty of bottom, but I can get a good growl out of my bass by turning one knob halfway without effecting my volume. So I'm basically working 3 sounds, 2 with my bass and 1 with the chorus pedal. At least for now I'm satisfied with that.
The Tech 21 Bass Boost Chorus pedal is great. Well, that's my opinion anyway. I love the sound I get out of this pedal and you can easily dial it in according to the venue your playing, small club, large club, outdoors, etc....
I've tried a few other bass chorus pedals, but nothing has come close to this one. If your able to, you should give one a try. I think you'll like it.
Best of luck to you.

Osteospermum Flower Seeds |
Our Osteospermum Flower Seeds are most commonly grown as an annual, but in temperate climates is a half-hardy perennial and is even considered a sub-shrub in some areas. They will not survive persistent frosts, but even where light frost is common in the winter, if they are well-mulched to preserve heat, they have been known to survive from year to year, for several years. Osteospermum, pronounced oss-tee-oh-SPUR-mum, are grown in both containers and in the ground, this long-blooming and extremely colorful daisy-like flower being extremely popular around the world. Also called African Daisy, Cape Daisy, South African Daisy or Blue-eyed Daisy, growing these for just one season will have you doing the same year after year. Osteospermum enjoy a good hair cut; this will encourage further branching and blooming, especially on the more hardy types, the best time to cut them back being in the early spring or in the fall. In between prunings, deadheading the spent flowers will ensure more blossoms. African Daisies, especially when planted in containers, require a steady, nutritional diet to continue to perform. Feed every 2 weeks if in containers or every month if planted in the ground. We recommend regular feeding with Espoma Flower-tone® or Jungle Flora, both of which are approved for organic gardening, are formulated for blooming plants and are safe for use around your family and pets, as well as being safe for the environment. Each order of our fresh Osteospermum seeds is filled by hand, put into a resealable plastic bag and then placed into a labeled seed packet. It is our goal to provide our customers the best in freshness and quality. |
