Rest of AFL season excites Saints coach
It's looking like a long season for long-suffering St Kilda supporters, but coach Alan Richardson doesn't want it to end any time soon.
The Saints were competitive for three quarters before being blown away by Collingwood in an 86-point loss on Friday night at Etihad Stadium.
St Kilda are 3-7 and 16th on the ladder as they approach the halfway point of a season that had promised little and delivered limited hope for fans.
Richardson conceded player development was a focus for the Saints, but denied their campaign would become a grind as the losses stacked up.
"It won't be a challenge (to finish the season off)," he said.
"It will be a fantastic opportunity for young players to start and build careers - for guys that aren't in the team at the moment like Tommy Lee.
"There's going to be some real opportunities and that's the space we're in. We need to get games into our young players."
Richardson nominated Seb Ross, Brodie Murdoch, Cameron Shenton and Luke Dunstan as some of the youngsters to impress against the Magpies.
"Individually, there's some real positives," he said of the heavy defeat.
Luke Delaney injured his hip and is in doubt for the side's intimidating clash with table-topping Port Adelaide next Saturday at Adelaide Oval.
"We'll do whatever we can to get him up," Richardson said.
"He's really important. It's probably about a 50-50 (chance of Delaney playing)."

"Freedom Jazz Dance" is a favorite of mine, and a lot of my fellow jazz nerds agree. People love it because it's so catchy, but it's a peculiar kind of catchy.

'Ancient Aliens Debunked'
A three-hour documentary has been released by film-maker and former Ancient Aliens believer Chris White about the failures of Erich von Daeniken's ancient astronaut theories. It goes into every piece of evidence methodically and carefully, in marked contrast to the sensationalism of Ancient Aliens. Pumapunku, one of the archaeological sites most egregiously misrepresented by von Daeniken and the History Channel, is addressed first, probably due to its importance in ancient astronaut mythology. White does a good job of explaining why ancient astronauts are superfluous in understanding the site, and why almost every alien-related claim made about it is just, well, wrong. I personally would have liked a bit more detail about who built Pumapunku and what sort of traditions it was representative of, but that's just because I'm interested in such things (and I was pleased to note the mention of the Yaya-mama iconography in the film). Some of the claims White makes are themselves flawed, and the most recent issue of eSkeptic, the email newsletter of Skeptic magazine, discusses some of these, including especially the idea that flood myths are universal. (They aren't, by the way.) But either way, Ancient Aliens Debunked is a good, sensible breakdown of the claims made on Ancient Aliens and, as it can be watched in parts, it's a particularly good resource. There is also a website on which White has provided citations for the claims he makes (quite unlike Ancient Aliens, I'd like to add!). So if you find the time, do give it a look.

Devil's club, a member of the ginseng family (Araliaceae), has long been used for many medical conditions by indigenous peoples of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Among the traditional medical uses of devil's club, the most widespread is for the treatment of external and internal infections.
Traditionally, the inner bark of aerial stems was used. The most modern commercial preparations, however, use the root. Western herbalists use devil's club as a respiratory stimulant and expectorant, and for autoimmune conditions, eczema, external infections, internal infections, rheumatoid arthritis, sores and type II diabetes. They also use it to lower blood sugar and increase general well-being, and as a pancreatic tonic. At this time, there are no high-quality human trials supporting the use of devil's club for any indication.
As with many medicinal plants, there is concern about the commercialization of devil's club. This concern stems from the need to respect the intellectual property rights of the people from which the knowledge originated, compensate the original users of the plant, and align current uses ethically and culturally within the ethnobotanical context, all in the midst of the failures of the current legal mechanisms to accomplish these goals.

The hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) effect is one of many reported uses for devil's club, which had a traditional use in diabetes, and continues to be used for this condition. Although early evidence looks promising, additional high-quality trials are needed to make a firm recommendation.

Danny Garcia's rib injury that caused his Feb. 9 fight with Zab Judah to be postponed is a legit injury, according to his sparring partner, DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley.
Corley unwittingly got caught up in the controversy when he gave an interview shortly after the postponement was announced, explaining that Garcia had suffered an injury — to his thumb.
"We were in there sparring all last week, and Danny threw a body shot, a right body shot towards me, and I used — I put my elbow down to block the body shot from getting hit with it," Corley had told TheKoncreteJungle.com. "He caught it on the thumb, on his right thumb, and he was having problems with it for the last whole week.
"So he was icing it and everything, and he had a therapy guy come in […] and then it swelled up as he continued to spar. So they went to the doctor, and the doctor said, 'No, it's not a good idea to do the fight,' because it's going to get worse if he throws the punch and Zab blocks the punch with his elbow."
But Corley says there were indeed two injuries, and that those conspiracy theorists who believe that Garcia was faking being hurt in order to push back the Judah fight are off.
Corley, who is 39-20-1 with 23 knockouts, spoke to BoxingScene.com in Atlantic City in the early hours of Feb. 17, shortly before the post-fight press conference for Adrien Broner's win over Gavin Rees got under way.
BoxingScene.com: You were sparring with Danny Garcia. I know there was an interview done where you said that there was an injury to his thumb. Garcia said it was an injury to his rib. There was some controversy over his injury. Do you want to clear the air?
Corley: "We can clear it up, yes. Danny did have an injured thumb leading up to the fight, but that wasn't the reason why the fight was called off. We were working two weeks before the fight, and Danny had done his 12 rounds. He was in the 12th round and was sparring me. I hit Danny with a great body shot, and he made this noise after I hit him.
"After the round was over with, he said [strained voice] 'Good shot, good shot.' He said 'You hurt me.' I said, 'I know.' I said, 'The first day we sparred and I got up here in camp, you hit me with the same shot and you hurt me.' But our bodies recover differently. I heal faster than Danny."
BoxingScene.com: What do you make of the conspiracy theorists who came out and thought that Garcia was making stuff up or was trying to get out of this fight?
Corley: "Oh, not at all. He wasn't trying to get out of this fight. Danny was ready for this fight, 100 percent. I helped him get ready for it. I was looking forward to seeing this fight come through. But things happened in the gym leading up to this fight — it was a great shot that I hit Danny with. He'll recover. He's getting back in the gym within one or two more weeks, and I'll be back in Philadelphia training with him."
BoxingScene.com: What do you make of Danny Garcia as a fighter?
Corley: "He's a very humble guy. He's quiet. He's not the arrogant fighter like some fighters are. Danny, he likes to wear his little flash, but that's what normal fighters do."
BoxingScene.com: But that's him as a person. What do you make of him as a fighter?
Corley: "He's a great fighter. He's world champion. He's proved that he should be on that level with the other fighters at 140 pounds, which is Zab Judah. This is going to be a great test for Zab, because Danny is a younger fighter."
BoxingScene.com: You know Zab, you go back with him. How do you think Danny fares against him?
Corley: "Danny's dad likes to put it out there; he likes to piss people off. So there's more getting underneath of Zab's skin when Danny's father gets on the mic. Danny does more talking in the ring, and not outside of the ring."
BoxingScene.com: But do you think Danny beats Zab, or Zab beats Danny?
Corley: "It's a 50-50 chance, if Zab fights the smart fight, which I know he can do — which is box. He has to box Danny and keep moving. Danny has to apply pressure and cut the ring off and let his hands go, and if Danny does that, I think he will catch Zab in the later rounds, I think between the 8th and 10th rounds, and the fight will end by knockout. But if he can't catch Zab, then Zab will win by split decision; he's going to steal it."

Boys' basketball: Albany Academy beats Long Island Lutheran, 53-50
Albany Academy beats Long Island Lutheran, No. 6 team in Class AA
Published 11:12 pm, Saturday, January 11, 2014
On a Saturday night when he displayed tremendous execution and understanding of the game, Albany Academy junior guard Ray Jerome also was in a giving mode.
After hauling down a rebound and working the ball upcourt against Long Island Lutheran, Jerome noticed teammate Teigue Donohoe breaking into the clear. Jerome hit him with a perfect lead pass, and Donohoe converted in transition with 2:22 remaining for a two-point lead.
Albany Academy spent the remaining possessions defending the perimeter, and the Crusaders missed on all four attempts from long distance — including a game-tying shot by Devonte Green at the buzzer — as the Cadets notched a 53-50 victory.
"It is a statement win," Jerome said. "Our opponents in January all have great records. We didn't get off to good start against Collegiate (a 66-62 loss Jan. 4), but winning this one is a big pick up."
The Crusaders (9-2), state-ranked No. 6 in Class AA, also dropped a 56-53 verdict Dec. 30 to No. 2 Christ The King. The win by the Cadets (7-2), rated No. 14 in Class A, is easily their best.
"They can win the Federation Class AA title. They are that good," Albany Academy coach Brian Fruscio said of Crusaders. "They have so many new pieces. We had to take advantage of that, because they will be a different team in late February and March."
Saturday's contest featured 18 lead changes and nine ties.
Albany Academy junior guard Rory Flaherty made two foul shots with 9.8 seconds left to provide the Cadets a three-point cushion.
Long Island Lutheran coach John Buck called time. Tim Atkinson took the inbounds pass and dribbled it until passing to Green with three seconds left. Green, who led Long Island Lutheran with 16 points, had three defenders chasing him.
"He's a very good player. That was a pretty good look, but I'm glad it didn't go down," Academy senior point guard John Moutopoulos said.
Asked if he was worried Green would connect on his fifth 3-pointer to force overtime, Jerome said, "Nope. We had three guys on him. NBA guys aren't making that shot."
In the first half, Jerome made four difficult shots (including two step-back jumpers) in scoring 11 points.
"At one point, he took over the game," Moutopoulos said of Jerome. "He had a great week of practice, and he is getting better and better every game."
"My teammates had confidence in me," Jerome said. "They were telling me to push it if I had it. The great thing about us is we're playing with each other and for each other."
After being challenged by Fruscio in practice, Jerome delivered 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three steals.
"He became a man this week," Fruscio said. "I got on him. I said, 'You put 25 pounds of muscle on, but what good is it if you don't use it?' He started slow, but got going and played big."

I was feeling a little 'off' yesterday, so I amused myself looking at pretty pictures on the interweb:) I can get lost for hours clicking away at pretty pictures – this is probably not the best thing to do too often (especially when I have piles of projects to start/work on/complete) but every so often it's nice to escape. The pictures that were taking my fancy last evening seemed to match my off mood – a little dark and brooding, but I think each is beautiful in its own way. If I had to choose a favorite from the images below I think it would be the last one – it's stunning. What do you think – which do you like best?
PS – I made a very concerted effort to find what I believe to be the original sources of these images and link properly to them. Please let me now if I am mistaken.

Brand As Verb A Brilliant PresentationThursday, April 24th, 2014
Of all the articles and blogs written about the revolutionary changes in the world of branding, a SlideShare presentation titled "Brand As Verb" stands out as brilliant. It clearly explains what organizations need to do to keep their brands relevant to their consumers by involving them in the process. Creating by Ben Grossman, strategic director of London-based Jack Morton Worldwide, the presentation lays out five essential principles of the new approach to effectively branding organizations and their products.
As you would expect, I especially love the stories of how some familiar (and some not-so-familiar brands) brands have excelled at garnering customer involvement. Exemplifying Grossman's points, the stories describe inventive campaigns to inspire consumer participation in all aspects of developing and nurturing a brand. My favorites are the delightlfully creative HP campaign in Paris and the ingenious ordering system for home delivery created by Dubai's Red Tomato Pizza.
Review the slide presentation at http:bit.ly/BrandAsVerb and then leave your comments.
What are your favorite ideas? Why?

Cuttlefish/Squid or Seiche as they are known in French and Seppia as they are known in Italian are an acquired taste particularly when the dish is prepared using cuttlefish ink. We tend to use cuttlefish to make into salads similar to the octopus salad or else we grill it and serve it in its own ink or make a Risotto with cuttlefish ink which makes the rice turn black and serve it with grilled cuttlefish - this is an Italian recipe called Risotto al Nero di Seppia.

Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida. They belong to the class Cephalopoda, which also includes squid, octopuses, and nautiluses. 'Cuttle' is a reference to their unique internal shell, the cuttlebone; and despite their name, cuttlefish are true molluscs.
Cuttlefish have large W-shaped pupils, eight arms and two tentacles furnished with denticulated (very finely toothed) suckers, with which they secure their prey. They generally range in size from 15 cm (5.9 in) to 25 cm (9.8 in), with the largest species, Sepia apama, reaching 50 cm (20 in) in mantle length and over 10.5 kg (23 lb) in weight.
Cuttlefish eat small molluscs, crabs, shrimp, fish, octopuses, worms, and other cuttlefish. Their predators include dolphins, sharks, fish, seals, seabirds and other cuttlefish. Their life expectancy is about one to two years. Recent studies indicate that cuttlefish are among the most intelligent invertebrates. Cuttlefish also have one of the largest brain-to-body size ratios of all invertebrates.
Cuttlefish are caught for food in the Mediterranean, East Asia, the English Channel and elsewhere. Although squid is more popular as a restaurant dish all over the world, in East Asia dried, shredded cuttlefish is a popular snack food.
Cuttlefish are especially popular in Italy, where they are used in Risotto al Nero di Seppia (literally black cuttlefish rice). The Croatian Crni Rižot is a similar recipe, which probably originated in Venice and then spread across both coasts of the Adriatic. "Nero" and "Crni" mean black, the color rice turns because of the cuttlefish ink.
In Spain, breaded and deep-fried cuttlefish is a popular dish in Andalusia, where it is known as choco. Spanish cuisine, especially that of the coastal regions, uses cuttlefish and squid ink for the marine flavour and smoothness it provides; it is included in dishes such as rice, pasta and fish stews.
In Portugal, cuttlefish is present in many popular dishes, chocos com tinta (cuttlefish in black ink) being among the most popular. This dish is made with grilled cuttlefish served in a marinade of its own ink. Cuttlefish is also the regional dish of the city of Setúbal and surrounding areas, where it is served as deep-fried strips or in a variant of feijoada, with red kidney beans. A somewhat popular food is black dry spaghetti (also present in other pasta) that one can find in any store right next to the normal dry variant. The black color comes from using the ink of the cuttlefish during industrial food processing and is known as esparguete de tinta de choco (cuttlefish ink spaghetti).

Analyst: Take-Two Now Very Attractive To Possible Buyers
When you show you're more than a one-trick pony, potential buyers become interested.
Back in 2008, Take-Two Interactive was a highly sought-after commodity after Grand Theft Auto IV hit big. Electronic Arts tried to pick them up but after an elongated negotiation, the bid fell through as Take-Two believed they were being undervalued. But after last year's blockbuster (Red Dead Redemption) and what appears to be another non-GTA winner this year (L.A. Noire), Take-Two is once again ripe for the picking. Or at least, that's what Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia told IndustryGamers:
"Whether GTA V is released in late FY12 or a few months later, i.e., in early FY13, should not materially change the company's intrinsic value. Besides, Take Two investors know that the risk of game delays and the accompanying earnings volatility is inherent to their investment in this stock. What should be more important is that with the strong launch of L.A. Noire last week, Take-Two has created yet another valuable franchise. As we have said, we think the company has now made a strong case for generating average annual EPS of $1.00 going forward ($1.35 ex the MLB contract that expires in 2012). With the GTA catalyst still ahead and the possibility of a takeout still a reasonable bet, we are reiterating our $19 price target which is based on our sum-of- the-parts valuation."
Yeah, GTAV is coming and so is Bioshock Infinite, so Take-Two certainly appears attractive. But whoever wants to buy 'em has to come with the cash; EA offered $2 billion back in '08 and that didn't fly, so...

If an offer of 2 billion dollars wasn't good enough then what is? I seriously doubt that anyone would be willing to pony up the kind of money necessary to satisfy Take-Two's ego. And to make matters even more problematic LA Noire's release has undoubtedly inflated Take-Two's ego even more, thus making the task of buying them all the more monumental.

Fair enough. But on the other hand I really don't see Take-Two selling out to Activision. The first reason being that they're doing great on their own and they really don't seem to have any real reason to sell to anyone in general. And second I especially don't see them selling to Activsion of all things. The reason for this is that big legal mess with Infinity Ward. Bobby Kotick doesn't really seem to be the most honorable or trustworthy boss one could have.
And speaking of which if I'm not mistaken I think the start date for that trial was yesterday. I don't know what's going to happen but one thing's for sure: it's not going to be pretty.

I suppose they could be dual developing,with Agent futher along than gta v but i'm skeptical.
Max payne 3 in 2012-2013,same goes for Agent or maybe 2013-2014,so i dunno about a GTA V this gen.
If people remember last gen we had a numbered gta (III) then two side stories(vice city & san andreas)this gen we have a numbered gta (IV)and two side stories (lost & damned & ballad of gay tony)these dlc side stories could be counted as one side story i suppose but i really believe that GTA V will be a next gen title with the possibility of one more side story this gen & oh yeah Take Two are worth a lot more nowadays but i hope the don't ever get bought by a bigger corporation.

But T2 can survive on its own without the intervention of a larger company, as they are not only keeping, but growing their portfolio. GTA is their perennial best seller, but Bioshock is gaining in prestige with every new game. L.A. Noire and Red Dead are both awesome possibilities for the future, and then they also have Max Payne and AGENT. 2K also seems intent on making The Darkness into a bank franchise, along with their sports games, the upcoming X-Com, the Civ games, DNF among others.
Of course Take-Two is an interesting buyout prospect. They could make a TON of money for whoever chooses to do so, but I honestly think that they're strong enough on their own, and should remain independent.

LOL, thanks.
I didn't even notice the way he wrote it so I had just cut & pasted it...my bad.
BTW, Come to find out, I had already read a similar article about those new contracts on a different site yesterday.
Very smart move on Take-2's part, they've made the company stronger, & they also make any buy-out attempts even much more costlier too.

Mr. "Nobody Dies"
As a member of the Japanese art community who has been heralded for their continual questioning of Japanese relationships with the outside world and its own societal institutions, artist Mr. presents his latest exhibition "Nobody Dies" later this month. His depictions of lolitas are a self-examination and re-appropriation of lolitas in different and unfamiliar contexts which began with Mr.'s obsession with scribbling lolita images on receipts and ticket stubs. Also worth noting was Mr.'s contribution to the capsule of Supreme decks alongside Murakami last year. "Nobody Dies" opens up Tuesday, October 21st and concludes January 10th, 2009.

India is a secular country. It is high time that we adequately represent religious minorities in our serials too. The good news is that Zee TV's forthcoming family drama Qabool Hai is set in a Muslim family. If sources are to be believed the tentative slot of this show is 8:30pm. The promos will be on air soon.
Nehalaxmi Iyer who played Krishnaben's daughter Divya in Sony TV's Krishnaben Khakhrawal is playing the teenage daughter of this Muslim family. Karan Singh Grover will be playing her elder brother. Shalini Kapoor Sagar is playing the mother. Rishab Sinha from Spiltsvilla 5 and Surbhi Jyoti- a popular name in Punjabi movies will play lead characters, say sources.
Let's hope that this show may go on to foster Hindu- Muslim unity. It would be nice to watch TV shows based in Christian, Zoroastrian, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist (and other religious minorities) families in near future.

It's Android Camera Wars!
EK-GC100 versus
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Nikon COOLPIX
302 grams
185 grams
Screen resolution
Auto mode with flash image comparison:
Outdoors on sunny day:
Same with full zoom in to tree trunk:
(Click on images to see original 16MP image)
Now for the random babbling:
See the
Samsung Galaxy Camera
product page.
See the
Nikon COOLPIX S800c
product page.
The android
API can access the 16 MP max resolution.
The android
access the 16 MP max resolution. Some undocumented proprietary
Nikon voodoo
seems to be involved with the Nikon camera app.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is wayyy to big to be considered really portable.
The Nikon COOLPIX S800c is much closer in size to other point and shoot cameras and is easier to tote around.
The Samsung is much easier to actually hold in your hand with the shaped hand grip.
The Nikon is all rounded edges. Never try to use it without the wrist strap :-).
The Samsung Settings app has a
Fast power-on
checkbox under the power settings (on by default). It says it will provide for speedy start up for up to 24 hours without being charged. I don't know exactly what it does or how it is implemented, but certainly if you power off the camera, then later come back and hold down the power button, it vibrates once and then is almost immediately in the camera app ready to take pictures. I don't know if I could time it precisely, but it seems to be no more than 2 or 3 seconds. Not only are you in the camera app, but android itself is also up and running and you can exit the camera and get into the android launcher screen immediately.
The Nikon also has an equally quick instant on mode, but it apparently brings up the camera right away (no mention of 24 hour limit) and lets android boot in the background while the camera operates independently. (Though about 2% of the time, it seems to come up with the camera out of focus and you have to wait for android to boot to exit and restart the camera app). It only takes a few seconds for android to finish booting, but it is not nearly as quick as the camera comes up.
The Samsung connects to Wi-Fi very quickly, but even with the
stay connected during sleep
option turned on in advanced setting, it seems to often be disconnected when it comes out of standby (but not always - it is kind of random).
The Nikon often has problems connecting to Wi-Fi. It does pretty good most of the time unless you hide your SSID, it which case it can take many many tries to reconnect. It definitely takes longer to start the Wi-Fi connection than any other android device I have.
The Samsung camera seems to have android already unlocked (I think), at least when I held down the power button on startup, it told me about using the zoom control to access what sounded like recovery mode. When I get braver, perhaps I'll try to see if I can use that to install SuperSU and get the thing rooted.
The Nikon had to be
using gingerbreak. The handy gingerbreak apk didn't work, but following the original gingerbreak exploit instructions and running the app via adb did work.
The Samsung has a perfectly ordinary micro USB plug.
The Nikon has an annoying proprietary USB connector needing a
special cable
The Samsung is perfectly happy to be operated at the same time it is charging via the USB connection. The only really irritating thing is that the USB plug is smack in the middle of the hand grip, so you'll probably want it screwed into something like a tripod to operate in this mode (or you'll need to be careful how you hold it).
The Nikon needs a
ridiculous adapter
that pretends to be a battery to be operated on A/C power, and since the connector plugs in in place of the battery, you obviously can't charge at the same time, so you probably need an
external charger
if you want to save time by getting the battery charged while you are using the camera on A/C power.
The Samsung ($500) is wayyy more expensive than the Nikon, and you have to shop around to find an AT&T store that is willing to sell one without a data plan (which would make it astronomically more expensive still).
The Nikon came in at around $350 (still too expensive, but I wanted to develop on android cameras).
I don't use Windows for my android development, but I see Samsung has a windows USB driver available for download. On my Fedora 17 linux box, I plugged the Camera into USB after enabling USB debugging in developer options and it showed up immediately in the adb devices list.
There does not appear to be any Windows USB driver for the Nikon, so android developers wanting to use adb on windows are out of luck. On my Fedora 17 box I did have to add the USB vendor ID to the
file before it showed up in adb, but it worked fine after that.
The Samsung video recorder seems to record H264 in a .mp4 file (by default anyway). Strangely the video editor app that comes preinstalled cannot seem to edit that format file :-). Anyway, fetching the video off the camera and editing it externally gives me this sample clip of a
slow motion curly tailed lizard
that happened to show up in my garage while I had the camera in my hand.
The Nikon records H264 but wraps it in a .mov file. It doesn't come with a video editor, so that point is moot.

Spiders of Georgia
Note! all suspected bites from black widow, brown widow and brown recluse spiders need to be evaluated by a medical professional. A favorable outcome can result in early treatment of bites from these species. IF in doubt…..contact your doctor or a local Ga. Poison Control Center for advice.
The Black Widow Spider with her egg sac.
The black widow is a very common spider over much of the Eastern United States. Black widows prefer darkened areas, such as inside watering cans, old paint cans, in water meter boxes and underneath debris. The black widow weaves a very messy web with no sense of design. The female is ebony black with a red, hour-glass shaped mark on the underside of her abdomen. This is usually quite easily seen as the spider typically hangs unside down in her web. The egg sac, which is a whitish / cream colored and once it hatches, may produce a tremendous number of spiderlings. The photo above shows a female black widow (far right) and an egg sac as well as the author finger tips to illustrate the size of the spider and her egg sac.
Close-up of the underside of a female black widow spider. The small round hole just below the red hour glass shape marking is the spinneret. This particular spider also has a small red mark on the posterior dorsal side of the abdomen.
The brown widow spider is introduced from Africa and is now wide spread over much of the southeastern United States. The brown widow is very similar in body shape to the black widow but is overall a bit smaller. This species is highly variable in coloration and the dorsal side of the abdomen may be brown, cream or even whitish in color. The brown widow, like the black widow, exhibits a red hour glass shaped mark on the underside of its abdomen.
Here, a very pale colored brown widow is tending her egg sacs. The egg sac of the brown widow is quyite unique and look like round white fluffy balls with spikes. Each egg sac may contain hundreds of baby spiderlings.
The brown recluse has become a very common spider in many areas of the southeast. This spider is extremely quick and is capable of disappearing very quickly once discovered. The bite of the female brown recluse may result in extensive tissue loss and bites need medical attention to monitor any necrosis that may occurr and insure a quicker recovery time in the event of a serious systematic reaction. Here the authors finger tip provides a size reference for the size of an adult female brown recluse.
The brown recluse is a fairly uniform brown colored spider with fairly long legs. Bites occassionally occur on people when spiders may reside in an article of clothing and once the garment is put on, the spider is trapped between a persons skin and the material and thus an accidental bite is the result.
Close-up of the cephlothorax (head body combination) of a brown recluse spider. The fiddle or violin is easily seen with the base of the fiddle being at the face of the spider and the neck of the fiddle extends towards the abdomen.

Awesome theme, gave our business a really good image boost. Two issue I see so far are—
1. Pricing grids should have name on header. 2. In portrait mode on the iphone the contact form message section alignment is off and starts text field under the actually word "message"
Hi, Thanks for your feedback about the pricing table, we'll keep it in mind for the next update.
Regarding the contact form, I see the bug you are talking about. There has been a thread about this in our support forums, see here:http://support.pixelentity.com/threads/8031-SOLVED-Display-issues-Contact-Form-Text-Width-White-Bar-Smiley-Face-across-bottom-of-site?highlight=contact
Hi, Firstly very happy with the theme. Gives a great modern look to our business and easy to use. The only major issue I have is when I access the website it takes an age to load and will often crash my Iphone. This is the first website I've built but is this something to do with the wordpress theme itself or is it to do with the hosting service I'm using? Any suggestions how I might speed it up? Thanks
Please head over to our support forum for this theme, open a new thread about this issue and include a link to your page. One of our guys will take a look.You can find the forum for this theme here: http://support.pixelentity.com/forums/46-Haven-WordPress-Theme
great theme.
I've been having some problems with the portfolio section located in the main scroll down page. Most of the time when I click the "view" button on each project, the page automatically scrolls down to where the project should appear but nothing shows.
I also have a separated portfolio page and it works just fine when I try to view a project. Any idea on how to fix this? thanks again.
Hi, This can happen when you are using www and non-www version of your domain. WP reads them as being different domains and this leads to problems with ajax calls not having the correct access to assets. You will need to decide which one you wish to use and then create a redirect from the other in your hosting panel.
Amazing theme! A quick (and hopefully painless) question:
The text in a dropdown menu gets cut off when using the homepage as a one-page template. I'd just like to extend the height of the sticky menu, so that dropdown text doesn't get cut off. how would i do that?
make the dropdown menu lay on top of the page contents, when using a one-page template for the homepage.
I hope that makes sense.
a screenshot:
That should be just a z-index problem, which can be sorted with some css tweak. We'll need to see a link to your page.

Love this template thank you http://bossycosmetics.com/
Glad to hear it!
love this template !
Hi, I was wondering if there are instructions for this theme. I've been having difficulty just getting it active, I've basically plugged everything in and customized it for my own usage, but the website itself won't even load.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong…thanks!
Hi, your web page loaded for me. Make sure your images are iptimized, none of your background images should be more then 600kb. This can be a big factor in page loading and display time. Also I noticed your icons weren't displaying. This issue is happening because you are using both www and non-www version of your url.
In your hosting control panel, you need to set up a redirection from http://www.oolretaw.com to http://oolretaw.com and it will work.
Its finally starting to work, but a few comments of yours I didn't get.
1. Icons weren't displaying? Which icons? 2. I tried redirecting and a link redirect didn't work. I'll keep looking into it though, but any further explanation would be helpful. 3. Why are all of my project pages not showing up? I've got galleries within those projects I want to show from photography shoots of each person/project. It just gets directed to my Pricing page.
okay, I figured out that the images are just way too big, and take forever to load, so I've got to downsize them. thats why the 'pricing' page shows up. still confused on the 'icons' but also with my external social links, none of them work because they put www.oolretaw.com in front of them along with their actual URL. how can i fix that?
Hi, When inserting the link to your social media profiles you will need to remove the "#" which is in the link field by default. This is probably the reason its adding the current site link there too.
Hi, for the other issues, please head over to our support forum for this theme, open a new thread about this issue and include a link to your page. One of our guys will take a look. http://support.pixelentity.com/forums/46-Haven-WordPress-Theme

I just purchased the theme and am having trouble installing it on wordpress. The "install new theme" button seems to have gone away and I cannot seem to access it by ftp. What am I doing wrong?
Hi, You should find out the version of WP you are using and then search for an installation tutorial online, this is a WP related thing, rather then a theme related issue. One this it could be, is if you are using the theme on a network Wp install, because in these types of situations theme installation can only be done from the network admin themes page. Did you install WP yourself?
Hi, Thank you for the response. I figured it out. I am a beginner to Wordpress and didn't realize you can either do one from wordpress.com or get your own host and install wordpress. It took me a while to figure it's just so confusing since they have the same name.
Hello, For some reason, when I click the "Display Contact Form" to yes, and then navigate away, it unclicks it when I return to the footer area of the admin panel. It is not displaying the contact form.
Hey, There are 2 likely causes of this problem. 1. Your theme or WordPress installation is out of date and both should be updated to the latest version. 2. You have some plugins installed which are interfering with the admin pages of the theme. Sometimes plugins which are not well made tend to load their scripts on admin pages which are not related to the plugin itself which can sometimes cause problems elsewhere. To check if this is the cause, simply disable all plugins you have installed and see if the problem disappears. Then you can re-enable them one by one until its starts to behave badly again, then you know which is the offending plugin.
Is there a way to upgrade the theme without losing customizations?

that should be fairly easy, you could easily add link to loop.php which would link to comments area on a single posts page (note that comment would still have to be left on a single post, this would be just a link to the comments area).
You can open a thread here: http://support.pixelentity.com/forums/46-Haven-WordPress-Theme and we will assist.
Why can't i choose images i've already uploaded on the Galleries? It only lets me upload new ones, i don't want to have duplicated images.
Hi, If you click on the "Add" button you will be able to add images to galleries which are already in your media library.
Hi, just a quick question here:
Is there any possibility for the parallax effect to function on mobile as well? Right now this only seems to work on lap/desktop.
Would I need to have this custom coded?
- PS: I have purchased this theme through my web developer. Hence why it doesn't say 'Purchased'.
And one last thing: I'm aware of the parallax-on-mobile difficulty. But the Magnum Theme DOES pull it off on mobile. Could you elaborate on that? Thanks!
Hi there,
unfortunately it's not possible to have parallax effect on Haven theme.
Magnum uses a different technique with element being fixed (instead of background itself), however it's a different (more complicated) approach which has it's drawbacks too (more complicated markup).
Hi there. I'd like to use custom icons (in place of things like the scissors, etc) on the services section of the page. Where can I upload my custom ones?
Also, where do I go to put my logo as the overlay on the home page instead of the default type?
Also, how do I stop the theme from darkening the background image on the home page?
The theme does not darken homepage slider images.
The logo field is one above the "text logo field", upload an image there. Appearances>Theme Options>General(tab).
Here's instructions in our support forum for using custom icons in the Haven theme: http://support.pixelentity.com/threads/6166-How-to-import-use-different-flat-icons
Hi there, great theme… just had a few questions.
1. How do I write text (a headline/welcome message) over top of the top image carousel, ie. 'ELEGANT & STYLISH – WE LOVE DESIGN' – I can't find this functionality
2. Is it possible to change the colours of the headings – ie. ABOUT US – invert them between light and dark, or are they fixed colours per section?
3. is there a document available with all the shortcodes for this theme?
1. This can be found in the gallery which you use for the homepage. Each thumb can hold a separate caption. Click the edit icon on each thumbnail (top left corner). Then fill out the fields in the dialog which appears.
2. This would require some custom CSS.
3. Yes there is, shortcodes are listed as well as instructions for completing all sections of this theme. You will find this doc in the docs folder which was in the main package zip you downloaded from TF. Open the index.html file in that folder, in a browser.
Hi there,
thanks for your response- regarding the first point (text over carousel images) – I don't seem to have the functionality to 'edit' within the galleries I've created – see screenshot – http://teaorcopy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/screen2.png
I have loaded the image on the front page @ http://teaorcopy.com – but no text.
Do I need to edit the thumbnails in a different section, ie. media? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, If your gallery has some images in it, their thumbnails would appear in the edit gallery page you have shown in your first shot above, but in your i dont see any. If you have added images and they have not appeared there, make sure you are using the latest version of the theme. Because if you are using an older version and you upgraded WP to version 3.9, there are some known incompatibilities with the galleries. To fix them, just download the latest version from TF and see this update instructions: http://support.pixelentity.com/threads/8226-WordPress-3-9-Themes-Update

My fight to make the streets of Columbus safe for all those who seek to get around without an automobile. "This time around, the revolution will not be motorized!"

Bike Routes
But what does that really mean? Is there a map anywhere of ALL the bike routes in Columbus? The only maps I've been able to find are nearly unreadable or incomplete.
So... I'm going to throw out an idea: putting the Columbus bike routes into bikely.com - the route mapping website. If you haven't seen this site yet, check it out. It's really useful and a great source of information for cycling wherever you go.
If you know of an official bike route in Columbus, please consider entering it into Bikely with "Columbus Bike Route ##" - and then any sort of description you'd like to add.
1 comment:
Have you entered any of these routes yourself? Can you provide links to some?
Can you think of a good tag for these these routes to make it easier to search for them?
This site seems to be very flaky which makes it very frustrating to navigate. One minute I can do a search on United States, Ohio, Columbus, and it will pop up fine, the next minute with the same search it says "This page is temporarily unavailable." Even just searching on United States or clicking one of the Where Locations under the most recent routes, seems to be a crap shoot as to whether you will actually see any results or just get the above message, or sometimes it just displays a blank page and says "Done" with no clue what the deal is.
Furthermore, it seems to have a specific order it wants things entered in the search. Reverse the above to Columbus, Ohio, United States and you are almost guaranteed an unavailable page message.
Anyway, I do wonder who is responsible for maintaining these Bike Route signs? They must have maps to tell them where the signs go. Are these route numbers local, city or state, and thus would it be the responsibility of the City or State Planning Commission, Parks & Rec or maybe even the State DOT?

Solar Tackle team member Ignace de Roeck has proved that you don't need loads of time to catch big carp. While testing solar's new TunaMino boilies on an 8-hour, day session at a Belgian gravel pit, Ignace enjoyed 5 takes, two of which resulted in 40lb+ carp. Ignace explains:
"A couple of days ago I managed to free up a little time to go fishing. I only had one day free, so I decided that I target the gravel pit where I landed the 40lb+ Black Common from earlier in the year.
"Leading up to the session I prebaited an area, but on my second, and final, pre-baiting trip before the session, the swim I wanted to bait-up was occupied.
"So, finding an area of the lake I'd never fished before I got the marker rod out and found a few clear areas to bait up with Solar Tackle's TunaMino boilies.
"The following day I was back with my fishing gear and although my first spot was still occupied, thankfully the new area was free.
"First job was to get some more TunaMino boilies scattered over the spots, and with that done I got to setting up and positioned a TunaMino hook bait on each spot.
"The first 2 hours passed without event. I hadn't seen or heard any fish activity when out of the blue my middle rod screamed off. I picked the rod up and leant into a hard-fighting fish when the left-hand rod screamed off as well!
"It was chaotic and bit messy, but eventually both fish were landed, a 25lb common and a mirror of 28lb 5oz. Thankfully, I'd set two landing nets up just in case!
28lb 5oz
"Pictures done and the carp returned I re-baited both spots with more TunaMino freebies and got the rigs back out there. Again everything was quiet, but a few hours later I had another take, this time a slower, more determined take.
"Instantly I knew this was a better fish, fighting slow and deep. This particular lake is quite deep and very clear and as the fish got closer to the bank I caught sight of a large common twisting in the deep water.
"There are only a few commons in this lake that are that size, so it had to be one of the 'bigguns'. It was, and at 46lb it was an incredible fish. I couldn't believe it, two twenties and a mid forty in a morning.
"Later that afternoon I was in again, and this one felt like another really big fish. It slowly kited from right to left and somehow managed to pick up one of my other lines and then find a snag, so I lost that one… gutted."
"Not to be one to end such a great session on a downer, as I was packing up the middle rod was away again, followed by a long, heavy fight in the deep water. With my heart in my mouth a big mirror broke the surface and slid easily over the net cord. It was one I'd caught earlier in the year, which tipped the scales this time at 40lb 5oz.
40lb 5oz
"The perfect way to round off the session and with 5 takes and two forties landed in just 8 hours, it's a session I won't forget in a hurry. It goes to show that you don't have to have loads and loads of time on your hands to get the results."

Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States.
Last Friday I attended a fundraiser for the Go Red for Women campaign of the American Heart Association. It was an appropriate end to April, because I started the month by my husband's side as he faced open heart surgery to replace a defective valve and aorta. Scary stuff. I am in awe of the surgical skill, medical technology and amazing health professionals who, together, repaired his heart. He most likely was born with this defect– and it got worse with age.
My husband was fortunate in many ways — he knew he had a heart condition that needed monitoring and eventual repair. Many men and women never know until it is too late. Heart disease kills almost 500,000 American women each year. Women, in particular, think that heart disease isn't their disease. Go Red is about educating women to know that they too (not just men) are at risk for heart disease.
At Friday's Go Red event we heard from a young, active woman who ran and ate healthy food, but who, like her father and her brother, suffers from coronary artery disease. She thought, as a woman, she didn't have to worry about her father's genes. She was wrong and she almost died. Her message — it can happen to any of us — even if we are healthy, eat well and get regular exercise.
We women are good at taking care of others, but often not so good at taking care of ourselves. Go Red reminds us that to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves. And, as women, we can do a good job of encouraging each other. The Go Red For Women web site is a good place to start.

Hanover, VA (PRWEB) February 23, 2009
The first intervention about women compulsive gamblers airs on A&E February 23, 2009 at 9 PM. Williamsville Wellness will be featured.
Williamsville Wellness (located in Hanover, VA) specializes in treating compulsive gambling, is licensed to treat compulsive gambling (one of the only such licensed treatment centers in the US), encourages women gamblers with scholarships and a safe serene setting, and offers an individual approach to treating gambling addiction.
The Williamsville Plantation House, built more than 200 years ago, has been restored and has all modern conveniences and comforts, but retains the charm and serenity of a 19th Century manor. Neighbors like Patrick Henry visited the plantation and enjoyed its hospitality years and years ago, and patients will enjoy the same charm and hospitality now.
Williams Wellness offer a unique approach of mental, holistic, and physical therapy, offers patients the promise of freedom from gambling and a positive outlook and approach to life. The setting promotes wellness, introspection, safety and security, and aim to make the stay both pleasant and rewarding.
Williamsville Wellness provides an integrated approach to the process of recovery. The clinical director is Sherman Master, MD who manages a staff of psychologists, peer counselors, massage therapists, art therapists, personal trainers, hypnotists and specialized counselors, who all work together to create a synergy that accelerates the process of healing and change and promotes recovery in the shortest possible time.
The facility offers unique treatment plan developed with individual therapy and counseling, that leads to an understanding of the underlying problem, to abstinence, and to an improved life for the long term. Combined with group sessions and GA meetings, the approach creates a treatment program that offers the best chance of long term success.
Compulsive gambling is a progressive illness which is diagnosable and treatable. It affects the gambler, the family, the employer, and the community. It is called the "hidden illness" since there is no smell on the breath nor stumbling of steps or speech. Nonetheless, a gambling addiction is as debilitating as alcohol or drug addiction.

Porn star to make Senate run in Louisiana? (tmi3rd)
Move over, Minnesota, we've got our own ridiculous candidate to run. Stormy Daniels is a Baton Rouge native who is mulling a run for David Vitter's Senate seat (don't worry, the link is only to her Wikipedia page, that someone has lovingly updated to reflect her political ambitions).
Politico reports that she will begin a listening tour across Louisiana beginning tomorrow.
I've made some phone calls to folks in the know, and the response has largely been that of yawning... nobody really knows who's underwriting this campaign. The most logical supposition is that Larry Flynt has a hand in it (he was the one who took down Bob Livingston in 1998 when he was up for speaker of the House), and Vitter has had his own infidelity problems. I'll post some links in the comment thread to point people around to more information.
Nobody in Louisiana had picked up on this as of midnight Central Time, but my former colleagues in New Orleans and in Lake Charles were going to start digging on it tomorrow. Daniels has not announced any party affiliation, but she's the only person with any sort of profile that has announced even thinking about a challenge to Vitter.
I can't bring teh funnay anywhere near as well as the rest of the moron crew, so fire away! And before I forget, thanks to Drew M. for the tip.

The Ducati Cucciolo - Ducati Electronica to Ducati Motors
The 48cc Ducati clip-on engine was designed by Aldo Leoni, who came up with a four-stroke featuring pullrods where the rest of the world used pushrods, with a tow-speed transmission and could give close to 140 kilometers to every precious liter of fuel if you weren't in a hurry. Because it has a fair old exhaust bark – well, it was Italian – they called it 'Cucciolo', or 'Little Pup'. Forget the Fiat, mama, this was affordable transport. Ducati Electronica, urgently looking for work, was contracted to produce the power unit when it was launched in 1946, and after a slow start production grew to about 250,000 a year.
As the 48cc Ducati clip-on engine became more popular it was also imported into other European countries where it was sold for around 2,000 THB, You could at the time buy a complete French built Velosolex moped for 2,400 THB, so the Italian build 48cc clip-on engine had to be good. It was. With enough space it could be wound up to 65km/h to leave the 40km/h competition gasping, but if you'd strapped it on to your old bicycle, stopping might be a problem. When 50cc racing staggered into being in the early '50s the 48cc Ducati engine was powering the Hurricane with a full alloy fairing, and they had three of them parade at the weekly Motor Cycling's Silverstone Saterday. On the vastness of that old airfield fast they were not.
The cyclemotor market died after European governments looked at the accident rate of tired dads who wouldn't do more than 20 or 25km/h and were suddenly moving along at 50km/h, on the same old tires and iffy brakes. In many European countries the authorities came up with a point formula for economical little motorcycles, the industry ignored the idea, until NSU introduced the Quickly which complied with most of the set rules in its specs and a good build quality.
Ducati was bright enough to move on, the 50cc unit produced as a complete moped and later spawning a range of lightweights up to 65cc before moving on to jump up to 125cc and ever upward. A trend Ducati follows upon today...
