Top 5 Natural Wonders in Florida
Florida is well-known for its theme parks and sunny weather, but there are whole areas of this huge and varied state which are often left undiscovered. From hidden islands to coastal swamps and reservoirs that are all teaming with wildlife.
So if the theme parks get all too much why not check out some of these natural wonders, all found in Florida?
1. Marathon – Florida Keys
Marathon is a beautiful part of Florida and its southerly location, along with the rest of the beautiful Florida Keys, gives a lovely balmy climate. The beaches of Marathon, Sombrero and Coco Plum have gorgeous white sands and azure blue sea. They are also free so you can enjoy them without being concerned about anything and just relax. It is also a centre for turtle protection and care and you can also see dolphins and get up close to these stunning creatures. It's a perfect antidote to the craziness of Orlando.
2. Everglades
The Florida Everglades are breath-taking areas of natural beauty that are only enjoyed by a relatively small number of tourists, allowing for an amazingly tailored experience. They are located at the Southern tip of the state. Amongst those adventurous enough to visit the area it is generally agreed to be the best kept secret in Florida, and it's easy to see why when there is so much to do.
There are plenty of ways to see the Everglades; there are the traditional jet airboats that propel you along the top of the water using a giant fan. Or a swamp buggy, which allows you to travel further above the glades, giving you an amazing view across the whole area. Or there is a more traditional pole boat, which is similar to canoe giving you a more peaceful Everglades experience. The stunning scenery is truly unique to Florida's Everglades and it would be a crime to go to Florida and not see this natural wonder.
3. Caladesi Island State Park
Caladesi Island is located on the west coast of the state, not far from the city of Tampa. It is another Floridian well-kept secret, as the beaches are simply gorgeous. As one of the last places of undisturbed natural beauty, there are a number of chances to see some amazing wildlife including sea turtles, dolphins and tropical fish in their natural habitat. You can also canoe along the mangrove trees, but watch out for alligator's! There is also a gift shop and café there where they serve delicious food.
4. Amelia Island
Right near to the easterly border between Florida and Georgia, Amelia Island is an enchanting place to spend some of your Florida holiday. There are plenty of gorgeous accommodation options including camping, cute motels or luxury resorts. Go horse riding on the pristine beaches at sunset and take in the magnificent view.
5. Apalachicola National Forest
This forest has been acknowledged as a protected area in 1936 including almost 600,000 acres of lush forest and a varied number of water outlets, like lakes and streams. It is located in the North West of the state under Tallahassee. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the beautiful scenery and with 67 miles of scenic trail it's a walkers paradise. You may even get to see some heart-stoppingly beautiful black bears, but remember to be careful and properly check the best way to handle an encounter.
It's easiest to see everything by car so check out Alamo for the perfect road trip companion.

LOS ANGELES -- If there was a bright spot in Virginia's dark 2013 season, it was in the secondary, where safety Anthony Harris pulled down a nation-leading eight interceptions -- a total that, on its own, bested 14 other FBS teams. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, the rest of the team produced just two picks combined.
Still, UCLA''s receivers are well aware of Harris' reputation heading into Saturday's opener.
"He has extreme ball skills," junior wideout Jordan Payton said.
"I'm really looking for him to be everywhere," fellow receiver Devin Lucien added, "because usually when you have eight picks in a season, that means you're a ball hog. And I'm a ball hog, which means he's trying to take the ball from me. I can't let that happen."
Harris will also be joined on Virginia's back end by former five-star and current freshman safety Quin Blanding, who has received early rave reviews this fall. So it's safe to expect the Cavaliers to improve somewhat on their 67th-ranked pass defense from last year's two-win campaign.Read the rest of this entry »
LOS ANGELES — They emerge from the icy cold tubs at Spalding Field, like they do after every and during every practice – with all the flash of a Hollywood entourage. Just a few feet away rap mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs is taking in the scene, an hour after rolling up to UCLA's practice with his own crew in a Maybach luxury car. It's exactly the way UCLA's receivers had expected this season to start: The glitz, the glamour, and all eyes on them. Every practice is another premiere.
"We're swagged out," says sophomore Devin Lucien, the first of the group to emerge. "That's all that is. It's swag, I can't really explain it. That's just how we are. I don't want to say we're flashy because we don't try to be, but it's just how we carry ourselves."
Lucien had all of 10 catches last season after missing time due to a collarbone injury. But no receiver on UCLA's roster is more comfortable being the center of the entourage.
During spring practice, after each of his routine acrobatic catches in the end zone, Lucien would showboat and let nearby reporters know he was coming for fellow wideout Jordan Payton's starting spot. Lucien is as "Hollywood" as players get in Westwood.
But the spotlight-hogging demeanor that he's made a name for has taken a step back this fall, even as the hype continues to grow about UCLA's receiving corps. Coach Jim Mora says that Lucien is "growing up." Lucien calls it "finding his tunnel vision".Read the rest of this entry »
For UCLA's group of talented wideouts and tight ends, the spotlight is now officially on.
That message was clear enough during the spring with each new day bringing further attention to the Bruins' talented, yet unproven receiving corps. First, it was Devin Lucien repeating to the media that he deserved a starting spot. Then, it was Shaq Evans barking at any UCLA cornerback , and new tight end Darius Bell explaining how he could be better than last year's touchdown extraordinaire Joseph Fauria.
Throw in a potential breakout threat in Devin Fuller and a talented Jordan Payton -- who was quietly impressive during the spring -- and the expectations for UCLA's receiving corps are undeniably high heading into this season.
And for UCLA's passing game to take a step forward -- just as its running game takes a step back with the graduation of Johnathan Franklin -- that endless chatter will need to translate to results on the field.
Last season, that was easier said than done, as many of UCLA's wideouts struggled with injuries. Fuller, Bell, and Lucien (37 catches combined in 2012) were especially affected -- all three missed serious time. Injuries like that -- given the Bruins' limited depth at the position -- could derail UCLA's passing game in a hurry this season.Read the rest of this entry »
LOS ANGELES -- Devin Lucien's hands wrapped around a crisp Brett Hundley pass in the back of the Bruins' practice field endzone. It was one of the day's better catches, and Lucien knew it.
"Tell everyone, I'm coming for that starting spot," Lucien told reporters after the catch.
Soon after, he caught another -- a similar, dazzling catch just inside the white line.
"I'm telling y'all, you better tell somebody," Lucien said. This time, he smiled and laughed. His point had been made.
UCLA Coach Jim Mora has mentioned Lucien as one of a few standouts so far in spring practice, as his quality catches have become a regularity. But Lucien hasn't even been practicing with the first team, with sophomore Jordan Payton handling the outside receiver duties opposite senior Shaq Evans.Read the rest of this entry »
Playing at altitude, as UCLA will Saturday at Boulder, Colo. (elevation: 5,430 feet) won't be an issue, Bruins coach Jim Mora said Tuesday.
"It didn't bother me when I lived there. I was six years old," said Mora, who lived in Boulder for six years (1968-73) while his father was on the Colorado football staff.
"When you're there less than 24 hours (as the Bruins will), I don't think it's a big deal," said Mora, who added that, when he was coaching in the NFL, games in Denver were "never an issue, never a problem," altitude-wise.
***Read the rest of this entry »
Jim Mora put together one of the nation's most talked about recruiting classes in 2012. Mora's first class at UCLA, however, didn't quite class the Top 10 nationally.
The Bruins were ranked No. 11 nationally by Scout.com, No. 12 by Rivals.com and No. 19 by ESPN.
Some other numbers:
*Ten players in the class were named All-American by at least one publication led by Monrovia defensive tackle Ellis McCarthy.
*Twenty-one in the class received three-star or higher ratings from Rivals.com with McCarthy receiving a five-start mark and seven others earning four stars.Read the rest of this entry »
As national signing day hits Noon, UCLA has 21 commitments with four to go.
The biggest surprise has been signing Oaks Christian wide receiver Jordan Payton, who had earlier verbally committed to Washington. Jim Mora and his staff also pulled off a a major coup in signing Chandler, Arizona Javon Williams, who was also considering Arkansas.
Most of the Bruins' major targets are on board: Monrovia's Ellis McCarthy,the nation's top defensive tackle prospect, New Jersey quarterback Devin Fuller, the nation's No. 3 QB prospect, and Compton Dominguez offensive guard Lacy Westbrook.
So who's still out there?
*New York CB Justin Combs, son of rapper Sean CombsRead the rest of this entry »

[quote:El Quisqueyano:MV8xNDk0NTg4XzI0NjczNDQ2XzhCQjRGMDc5] [quote:El Quisqueyano] Ok Folks. Some really strange things occurring to the Schumann Resonance. It's been sounding like it is getting shorted out. I checked all Solar Activity sites and all seems normal, so what could be causing our Earth's Natural Resonance to act up? Anyways at 14:10UTC/1010EST caught very distinct and intense signal over ELF. Could be significant. Middle East Possibly Turkey. Just a hunch here. I know the signal was very Intense and very Low and lasted for a good amount of time. That Schumann Resonance anomaly lasted for like 1 1/2 minute. [/quote] Turned out to be Turkey; 2011-05-20 15:41:23.811min ago 40.20 N 27.71 E 12 2.6 WESTERN TURKEY 2011-05-20 15:35:45.017min ago 39.12 N 29.00 E 10 3.6 WESTERN TURKEY Will most likely have a few more aftershocks for that signal at 14:10UTC. [/quote]
Original Message
I will be posting the signals I see on ELF here. I will post with intensity of each signal seen on the ELF range. I will post intensity using the Seismic scale from 1 to 10 Magnitudes. Be aware that once the signal comes in on ELF it can take from 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes for the quake to be seen on USGS sites. These signals come in on ELF about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before they actually impact what ever region their epicenters are. Then it takes USGS sites about 30 minutes to display.
The signals I pay attention to are in the 1 Hz to 10 Hz frequencies. Those are almost always Seismic.
I will be doing this when I am in front of my computer, not all the time so be aware that I will not be able to catch them all.
These ELF signals give approximately a 2 hour window to work and figure out epicenter. That is another task I will take on in the future. It is the hardest part of Earthquake prediction.
This is an addition I added to a thread about Elenin;
Be weary next 3 hours, have plan prepared for some possible shaking. Getting some unusual readings on ELF. Not sure if it will impact Japan region but better to be safe than sorry. Keep your mind focused and aware that Japan might be getting some seismic activity headed that way. This one might be 5+ if I am not mistaken. No panic just keep your senses on alert status.
The unusual activity I heard were 18 very intense thumps. In the 1Hz to 10Hz frequency. Could be seismic.
Then these quakes occurred;

What a Strange Man1 Reviews
Mortuus Magica an ancient tome lost to history filled with power long since forgotten. Falling into the hands of a broken young child it will allow him to reshape the world in ways no one saw comin...
"creature or spirit speaking"
AN: well I finally thought I had an idea worth sharing so here's the first chapter of Mortuus Magica. This being my first story I am sadly lacking a beta reader so if anyone would like to volunteer please PM me and we'll see what we can work out
A deep blue cloudless sky filled with the light of the morning sun gazing down upon the peaceful town of Little Whining. This particular tale resides in one of the many identical homes on the lackadaisical Privet Drive. The residence being so unassuming that no one would ever begin to suspect that something was amiss about this home, and yet ignorance somehow proves to be the one catalyst that would forever disrupt the community's perfect little existence...
"Freak! Damn it, boy! Get you Godforsaken arse out here and earn your keep, you worthless freeloader!"
The portly man bellowed, slamming his rough, meaty hands on the door to the dank broom closet underneath the stairwell. As he stepped back, the door slowly opened to expose the morose form of a fearful boy doing everything within his power to appear small and unseen. The child called Harry limped forward and gazed upward at his uncle, barely managing to cap the anxiety that spun behind his vibrant, and deceptively intelligent green eyes. His black hair was thick with dust and dirt that caused it to cling limply in front of his face. The hair also served the purpose of concealing the peculiar scar on his forehead that was strikingly reminiscent of a bolt of lightning.
"Y-yes, U-u-uncle. What do you need me to d-do first," Harry inquired softly, his voice as harsh and dry as the dusty closet, obviously no stranger to dehydration. The nephew didn't need to be psychic to expect what would happen next. He hardly had time to flinch as his uncle began to lumber towards him like a furious ogre. The horrid guardian swung his fist onto the top of the child's head like a billy club, striking with enough precision that the bruise would remain above the hair line, causing the boy to fall the floor in a heap.
"What do you think I want you to do first ,you worthless sod? Dudley will be awake in a few hours, and you haven't even begun to prepare his special breakfast! It's his birthday after all, and he deserves to be celebrated, unlike scrawny burdens like you!" The boy's uncle turned his back and began to waddle away, leaving his battered ward to pick up his shattered dignity. However, the lad was grudgingly accustomed to the abuse, and stood to his full height with the floodgates of spite barely restraining his eyes and tongue.
"Fat old bastard" he thought, "I hope you 'precious, little Dudley chokes on his cake this year! That would be something special." The boy quietly chuckled at the thought as he slunk into the kitchen, careful not to gain the notice (or alternatively, ire) of his adoptive kin in the living room. Stealing glances into the adjacent room as he fiddled with the ancient stove, Harry made a relatively useless mental note of his second family: Loving husband, father, and all around scoundrel, Vernon Dursley proved to be worth little more than a self-absorbed stack of muscle with a mean streak as long as the German Autobahn. He didn't have much room left for a neck between his scratchy, round head and beefy body clad in a cheap suit.
"Trying to look impressive to the neighbors again, no doubt," the youth sneered as he poured steaming tea into three chipped cups with fading floral patterns, with none for him as always.
Next was the woman who was none other than his equally belligerent Aunt Petunia. She was a tall, gaunt, and altogether horse-faced woman with a neck that would make a giraffe glow green with envy. Her expression was rife with the tell-tale signs of self-preened hubris as overstuffed as the parlor couch. Mrs. Dursley was almost always clad in a lady-like sundress so tacky that the embroidered flowered piteously looked as if they were trying to peel away from the horrid ensemble. Harry shook his unkempt head at his aunt's hypocritical facade. "Always playing the good wife, eh, you ugly bitch?"
the child angrily thought as he turned into the kitchen.
He walked up to the stove his stool waiting for him to stand upon. Stepping up to the stove he begins to preheat the oven. Stepping back he drags his stool over and opens the refrigerator pulling out the ingredients for his fat cousins special breakfast. As he begins chopping up the vegetables nice and fine so his cousin doesn't notice them he looks at the knife, visions of running the blade across his aunts throat as the fat pigs are forced to watch staring dumbly as the blood drains from her body play through his mind, 'It would be so easy.' he thought, but like always the thoughts would remain just a fantasy
A few hours later he places the last of the food on the table as his cousin descends the stairs yawning groggily. Spotting his cousin he walks up punching him hard in the stomach causing the smaller boy to double over in pain walking into the room Petunia kicks the downed child in the side hissing out.
"Stand up you lazy good for nothing brat. Really laying down already, you've been lazing about in that room of yours for 3 days now and your already tired pathetic." I'm sure by now your wondering just who is this poor, broken, beaten, scarred boy. This child is none other than young Harry James Potter, unknown to even him he's the hero the world has been waiting for for centuries. Slowly standing Harry gripped his aching side feeling a rib that had been cracked by his aunts pointed toed shoes. After the rest of the family had sat around the table Dudley began gazing lovingly at the small feast that had been laid before them.
"Oh thank you so much mummy this looks absolutely delicious." He said in a sickeningly sweet voice filled with faked innocence.
"Of course dear. Anything for my little Duddykins." The horse faced hag drawled out pinching Dudley's cheek feeling proud as if she was the one who cooked the meal. 'I wouldn't be shocked to find out that bitch could burn water.' Harry thought venomously enraged that the ugly woman had taken credit for his hard work again. He reached for one of the juicy bacon sandwiches sitting in front of him hungrily when suddenly his uncle drove a fork through the center of his hand the dull prongs piercing through skin and muscle passing clean between the bones through to the other side. Pulling his hand back with the fork still lodged in it the boy bit back a scream of agony he wouldn't give them the satisfaction of hearing his pain.
"What the hell do you think your doing you little pig!" Vernon roared "What put it into your greedy little head that this was yours to take, you'll get yours when the proper people have finished eating and not a moment sooner now shoo Duddies friends will be here soon and I don't want you scaring them off with you freakishness." The walking meat sack demanded. Pulling the fork from his hand as he turned around the scarred boy hurried to the bathroom to quickly sanitize and wrap the new wound. "Worthless arseholes" he grumbles out barely audible over the running water as he washes away most of the blood from his unwanted new piercing. Washing the wound In rubbing alcohol and disinfectant and wrapping it in gauze he turns off the water and rushes out of the house.
Its not often they let him leave the house. As much as the Dursley's hated seeing him they were more afraid of his freakishness being found out by the neighborhood, so when he did get out he would rush as fast as he could to the local library. In spite of his guardians all but forbidding him from being smarter than his cousin he still enjoyed reading, his favorite subjects being history science and especially the occult. He would spend hours on end with his nose pushed deep into a stack of books.
Arriving at his destination a few moments later he quickly entered taking in the smell of books and artificially cooled air and turned to the non-fiction books. Entering the religious and culture section he sees a library assistant putting away books on ancient magic back onto the shelves. He is a tall thin man with light yellow blond hair. His gray green eyes light up with a playful light as he turned to Harry eyes gleaming out from a green and white striped bucket hat. The man grins largely seeing Harry.
"Oh I know you, you're that boy whose always reading about magic and such right." He exclaims a strange kind of laughter in his voice. Harry finds himself nodding without meaning to making the man's grin grow larger. "Well I have a special surprise for you we just got this book in and I think you'll find it quite interesting." The library assistant says lifting a black leather bound book from the cart and handing it to the boy before walking off. As Harry watches the man leave he suddenly notices his strange wooden sandals. Looking to the book in his hands he notices it is a thick book bound in a deep black leather on the front is a white mask that looks almost like some unusual skull behind it are a pair of curved crossed swords, 'katana' he recalled having read a bit about them a few months back, above the image written in a deep crimson red are the words Mortuus Magica. Opening the book a small note falls out, and floats slowly almost lazily to the floor. Picking it up Harry sees the note reads 'Use it well.' Turning quickly he finds the strange man is gone.
AN: And so concludes the first chapter of Mortus Magica. So what did you think Good, Bad, The Greatest first chapter you've ever read maybe Hahaha. But seriously any feed back is good feedback please feel free to tell me what you think and if you can tell me both what the title of the book means and the name of the man who gave it to him ill put in a OC of yours as one of the new main characters of the story so like all the others say

GigaOM :: We've written before about the overwhelming tsunami of content that digital media represents, especially the firehose that comes from Twitter and Facebook, and how this makes it even more imperative that users have some kind of filter or curation system. News.me is one of the services that is trying to solve that problem, but it wants to do more than just filter and recommend: the startup's new iPhone app is designed to be like an Instagram for news — in other words, a smaller network of friends and connections with whom you want to discuss the latest headlines or events.
The question for News.me is whether that's what news consumers want, and even if they do, whether they won't just use Twitter or Facebook instead.Can News.me become the Instagram for news?

This is by far the best liquid liner out there. I used this when I started wearing liquid liner because I found that it was easier to work with. Gives a nice thin line, doesn't smudge and stays all day. If you wear liquid liner a lot it's definitely worth the investment.

Why is it that I find a product that helps me achieve the look I want but it's also very expensive? Lancome's Artliner in Black is all of this.
I got this eyeliner along with a full size Hypnose mascara in a Black Friday special and this reduces the time it takes for me line my eyes, not to mention I use just this one product instead of two. (I was using Physician Formula's liquid liner with L'oreal infallible pencil liner to achieve that cat eye look)
It helps to shake the tube first before opening as I find if I don't, the felt tip doesn't have enough ink. The colour is a nice, rich black and it glides on so smoothly without any tugging. Best of all, the tip gives me that winged eye look in no time at all. (it does take practice but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze)
The liner stays on all day without smudging and it removes easily.
Would I re-purchase? Yes, but I would still want to find a less expensive alternative.

The best liquid liner I've ever used, for several reasons:
1(most important): stays all day, does not smudge, even when my eyes get watery (which happens a lot due to allergies in the summer, and harsh winter weather, between the two my eyes never catch a break). Most liners end up a smudgy mess, or the wing fades, but this ones really lasts and it doesn't even claim to be waterproof.
2: gorgeous, rich color in one application. doesn't go on sheer in some places or require multiple coats like some liquid liners do.
3: easy, precise application. it might take some practice to get a very thin line with this but it does create crisp, even lines, and it's very easy to do so with this.
4: easy to remove, despite it being long-wearing, it is very easy to remove with a cleanser. no tugging required and it won't ball up in your lash line like some do.
I'm probably even missing a few things but the point is that this is a spectacular liquid liner. I have it in black but I will have to try other colors! No it's not cheap but it lasts forever and is completely worth it.

I just returned this eyeliner. Not so crazy about it. The tip is not very precise, so it's tough to make a sharp winged effect. Although the consistency is nice, I felt as though the product ran off the applicator quickly, and I had to keep dipping it in over and over to finish my cat eye. I prefer Stila "Stay All Day" waterproof liquid liner over this 100%. I'll never sway from it again.
3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this eyeliner for several years now!
The tip of the brush is like a sponge, and very easy to use! Definitely recommend this for people who just started to line their eyes. I know how tricky it can be.
I know it's a little pricey, but it's really worth it!
When I put it on in the morning, it still looks good in the evening. Also, the black is very intense, which I like a lot.
I love it and I have nothing bad to say about it.
Totally recommend this!

This liner is one of my HGs because it does not budge. I have oily lids, and I've yet to find an eyeliner that can survive my 10 hour workdays without smudging, flaking, or giving me raccoon eyes, however faint. I do have to admit, however, that I always prime my lids with Urban Decay's Primer Potion, so I can't attest to this liner's staying power without the primer. (Every other liner that I've used, however, has also been used in conjunction with the same primer, so they're all getting equal treatment.)
I've tried waterproof and so-called "budgeproof" pencils galore, and pencils are some of the worst smudging offenders. I've used Bobbi Brown's gel liner, Stila's gel liner and their liquid liner, and Laura Mercier's cake liners, and they all leave me with varying degrees of flakes and smudges under my eyes by the end of the day, some faint, some not so faint (that would be Laura Mercier's). I used to even seal these liners with Benefit's She-Laq to lock them in place, which sucked because it just made my eye line shiny and plasticky looking. To date, Lancome's Artliner is the only one that stays without special treatment.
As far as ease of application goes, it's fairly straightforward and one of the easier liquid liners to apply (the easiest being Stila's liquid liner -- a Godsend if you like winging your liner). I favor the brown for every day, as it's dark enough to define but not super stark like the black, so it's a bit more forgiving.
Despite the fact that I'm not a Lancome fan, it's one of the items that I just can't live without in my makeup kit. My eyelids have a way of melting off almost all makeup, and my workaround involves three products: lid primer, tubing mascara, and this liner from Lancome. I just can't live without it.

I use the black shade. Definitely shake before use, or the color comes out more gray-ish. Great for liquid eyeliner beginners like me. You can definitely achieve a thin line or a thicker line, depending on pressure. Comes off easily with makeup remover. Doesn't dry out.
Pretty expensive though.
LOVE IT. Pigmented, easy to apply, last forever. Definitely repurchasing.
I didn't rate this product at all. I'm always in the market for an eyeliner that will be easy to apply and stay all day. It stayed all day, ill give it that. But it was nowhere near as easy to apply as I thought it would be and I feel like the applicator dries out so quick that I'm unable to get a straight fluid line on the first go. Overall I would not repurchase this but I know alot of people rave about it so maybe it's just not for me!
I'm not usually a fan of Lancome (their mascaras are especially horrible IMO) but after reading many amazing reviews of this product on Sephora.com, I was really pumped to try it out. I went to a Lancome desk and the sales lady opened a new bottle of the Artliner in black for me. I tried the product and was not impressed. I have tried drugstore eyeliners that were better than this.
The application is very easy, I liked how the brush felt in my hand, however the product is a bit watery and not so pigmented. I had to go over the same line a few time to get it to a decent black shade. This could because I have oily lids, so I say beware to those of you with the same problem.
The shape of the brush does not allow for precision when doing different thicknesses and shapes of lines and it was really easy to smudge.
Overall the product is just average in my opinion and for the hefty price of $37 dollars Canadian this product is definitely NOT worth it.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Bucknell University will host a Science and Engineering Education Fair Wednesday, Nov. 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. in Larison Hall at Bucknell.
The event will involve a demonstration of basic principles of science and involves 50 teams of first-year engineering students partnered with nine teams of third-year elementary education students.
Professor Margot Vigeant, associate professor of chemical engineering, explained that the goal of the team assignment is to "illustrate concepts such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy."
Although the fair is open to the general public, the target audience is those who teach elementary and middle school science. Scout leaders, club advisers, home schoolers, and Odyssey of the Mind coaches are also encouraged to attend.
Gizmos and computer simulations
As part of a required course for engineers, students have designed and created gizmos and computer simulations illustrating basic principles of science and engineering. Participants can browse through each of the gizmos, see them in action, and have the opportunity to take a gizmo back to their classroom.
Using these gizmos, students in Professor Lori Smolleck's Teaching Elementary Science course have designed corresponding inquiry-based units that are aligned with state and national standards. Both the gizmos and the corresponding inquiry-based units will be given away to interested participants at the end of the evening. In addition, participants can also receive Act 48 continuing education hours for participating in the fair.
The state standards addressed by the gizmos and learning units are: 3.1.4. (unifying themes); 3.2.4. (inquiry and design); 3.4.4.A (properties of matter); 3.4.4.B (energy types and conversions); 3.4.4.C (forces and motion); 3.6.4.A (biotechnology); 3.6.4.C (construction and design); and 3.7.4.C (computer operations and concepts).
For more information, contact Professor Margot Vigeant at 577-1646.

The Last Windrow: Pros and cons of a smart phone
I own a "smart phone." It doesn't necessarily make me any smarter, but it does give my ego a boost knowing that I have a smart phone in my shirt's pocket.
When my coffee slurping friends come up with a question that no one at the cafe table can answer, it gives me loads of pleasure to pull out that little, flat, black, shiny piece of plastic and look up the answer. Maybe in their eyes that makes me smarter, but I don't think so.

No threat meters? I use Skada used to use Omen, but didn't like the look, so I use Skada. I also use grid, have it set up so anyone with aggro gets a little red dot, and use clique to quickly and easily pull aggro back.
I haven't played my Prot Pally much since 4.0.1 since I have been leveling my shammy, but with only 2 blessings and everyone in the party gets the same buff, what would be the point of Pallypower and ZOMG Buffs? Or am I missing something?
Pyromelter said...
You're not missing anything. Buffs have been significantly consolidated at this point. I really don't see how anyone can justify the memory usage (even if it's very small like 1kb) of a buff monitoring addon. The only addon you should get would be a full raid buff mod, that tracks everything like flasks and food buff. Really, only the raid leaders need that one though to make sure everyone is flasked and well fed, and to see if any stragglers are missing a buff somewhere.

Welcome to enjoy excellent cocktail at Lee's Restaurant! — Photos by Scarlett Lindeman
Lee's Restaurant is nothing you haven't seen before. With thirty years under its belt, Lee's is a step up from take-out joints with a menu heavy on Chinese-American standards like chow mein and egg foo young. Customers dip complementary fried wontons into dyed cornsyrup while workers sit around a table shelling beans. A sole turtle paddles around a half-full aquarium. And then there is the bar.
Back in the corner is a large mirrored bar, stacked with 99 Bananas and coconut rum, like something your Uncle Lenny installed in his bachelor pad circa 1970. Lee's serves special drinks in the tiki style — mai tais, zombies, and pineapple paradises served in a pineapple (NOTE: it's ceramic, not fresh like the menu says). On the wall hangs a large wooden plaque which reads more like bordello options than actual beverage, including blow job, wet pusy, thug passion, and a woo woo. There are three dozen other offerings but unless you favor Robitussin as an aperitif, sip on something basic. A dram of Hennessey is only $5.50.
The egg drop soup tastes like a liquid omelet and there's something faintly medicinal about the chicken chow mein but the shrimp are plump and the eggrolls are as big as chimichangas. With comfy booths, neon green track lighting, and Taylor Swift softly wafting through the air, Lee's transports you to a different place and time, where going out for moo goo gai pan is an exotic endeavor. "I feel like I'm in the middle of Arkansas" a friend remarked. Pure America.

Game & Series Recap: Tigers 6, Cubs 5 - SWEEEEEEP
First, before I get to the Recap, I will say what is on everybody's minds -- especially Jason, who I can tell is particularly pissed off by Rob's a-HAH! moment from yesterday.
Geovany Soto tested positive for, of all things, pot use back in the spring. BIG F!_!(KING DEAL!! Unless he was baking moments before a game it would NOT have affected his play any more than drinking the night before would have. Blaming his slow start on smoking pot is flat-out ridiculous and we'll just leave it at that.
(P.S. For those wondering ... don't smoke, haven't smoked, will never smoke)
Onward to the even uglier side of things...
Either Detroit is really good or the Cubs are really terrible. Maybe it's a bit of a mix of both. But after winning 4 straight, Chicago has now lost 4 in a row. They find themselves a game under .500, 3.5 back of the division. As Jon Miller said on his show this morning, 3.5 games is basically "a good weekend," and while the Cubs haven't been getting timely hits they have at least been hitting regularly as of late.
At this point we have seen that they are capable of putting up runs, getting bit hits, winning in clusters, and out-pitching their opponents. But we've also seen that it is not the norm. Probably on Monday -- as I will be busy getting married this weekend -- I'll outline a few alternative lineups that Lou has never tried but probably should and we'll keep the debate alive.
In the meantime, guh. What an ugly series. Probably the biggest frustration on my part is the team's lack of doing something -- anything -- to fix the problems.
Current Record: 34-35
Position in the NL Central: 4th place, 3.5 games out
Best Possible Record: 127-35
Worst Possible Record: 34-128
Record needed to win 110: 76-17
On Pace For: 80-82

It's no secret that throughout this season of "The Bachelor" Sharleen Joynt, an opera singer, has been indecisive when it comes to her feelings about Juan Pablo Galavis. Tonight her doubts continue in Miami. Wet Paint reported on Feb. 17 that tonight Sharleen discusses her feelings with the remaining girls.
The reports are that Sharleen will talk to four of the other girls about her doubts regarding Juan Pablo. She will tell them that her feelings are conflicted and that she doesn't think it's fair, with hometown dates coming, to take a spot if there is no real connection.
She tells the girls she is on her way to discuss the matter with "The Bachelor." She seems sad in previews on the elevator ride so will she really go through with it and leave?
Spoilers are out that Sharleen will call it quits tonight. Are you glad she is leaving? Do you think she waited too long to end the relationship?
"The Bachelor" airs tonight on ABC at 7 P.M. CST.

Now, I read at the pace of an autistic monkey, but I burned through this thing in an afternoon. I don't care who you have to blow to get your hands on a copy, or how long it takes for Amazon to send it by Sherpa (I'm still waiting for Donkey Punch to land on my doorstep), you need to read this book. This is what doing it right looks like.
Here's a synopsis:
It's Manchester's hottest summer on record and while Callum Innes evicts families on behalf of local slum lord Donald Plummer, the English National Socialists stir up racial tensions to breaking point. A firebomb attack at a Plummer property thrusts Innes into the spotlight as he saves a child from the burning building. But when Plummer enlists his help to track down the arsonists, Innes finds himself dealing with more than the ENS and his rapidly overwhelming codeine addiction. Time's running out and the temperature keeps rising. Manchester needs a hero and Callum Innes is the closest it has.Detective novels follow a particular pattern. P.I. gets a job, asks a bunch of questions, finds clues, solves the mystery. That's what makes it a detective novel. But that, like the synopsis, doesn't begin to approach what Banks does with the story.
The plot is important, obviously, and he does an excellent job telling it. He works it on several different levels, keeping it intimate and real. But it's his portrayal of Cal Innes that really makes it. He's not a conventional PI. He always looks like he's playing at it, like a kid wearing Daddy's shoes. He says he's a PI, so people believe him. But he can't convince himself.
And when he saves a kid from a burning building and gets painted with the hero brush by the local paper, he can't believe that, either. He's a fuck up, after all. Takes too many pills. He's a waste of breath. Watching him struggle against who he thinks he is to try to become the hero people are telling him he is is an intimate and visceral experience.
Innes has a substance that makes him believable. He's indecisive, second guesses himself. He gets hurt, badly, and doesn't spring back. He has injuries from previous books that still plague him. He has a codeine addiction that willpower alone won't fix. Hell, at the rate he's going I'm not sure he can survive another few books.
And that, ultimately, is what makes this book work. Everything has consequences. There are no neat endings. Innes ends in a different spot on his journey to be the best man he can, but it's painfully clear that he's still got a long way to go.

Floating Credenzas
We've been spying wall-mounted credenzas in a lot of design photos lately. We love this idea, since it lightens a heavy piece by making it appear as though it's floating. There are a few ways to get this look, either by buying a system that includes wall-mounting hardware or fashioning your own, like Andreas did using IKEA cabinets in his Greektown Loft. Click below for more.
There are a ton of possibilities for these systems in entryways, offices, dining rooms...even the bedroom.
3 Comments
Love this look.
Please don't tease with Munto it is not available in the US.
Andreas' Greektown loft was just featured in Chicago Magazine's Home edition.
I love this idea.
does anyone happen to know the model name for these cabinets?

C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
A C-reactive protein (CRP) test is a blood test that measures the amount of a protein called C-reactive protein in your blood. C-reactive protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body.
High levels of CRP are caused by infections and many long-term diseases. But a CRP test cannot show where the inflammation is located or what is causing it. Other tests are needed to find the cause and location of the inflammation.
Why It Is Done
A C-reactive protein (CRP) test is done to:
- Check for infection after surgery. CRP levels normally rise within 2 to 6 hours of surgery and then go down by the third day after surgery. If CRP levels stay elevated 3 days after surgery, an infection may be present.
- Identify and keep track of infections and diseases
that cause inflammation, such as:
- Cancer of the lymph nodes (lymphoma).
- Diseases of the immune system, such as lupus.
- Painful swelling of the blood vessels in the head and neck (giant cell arteritis).
- Painful swelling of the tissues that line the joints (rheumatoid arthritis).
- Swelling and bleeding of the intestines (inflammatory bowel disease).
- Infection of a bone (osteomyelitis).
- Check to see how well treatment is working, such as treatment for cancer or for an infection. CRP levels go up quickly and then become normal quickly if you are responding to treatment measures.
A special type of CRP test, the high-sensitivity CRP test (hs-CRP), may be done to find out if you have an increased chance of having a sudden heart problem, such as a heart attack. Inflammation can damage the inner lining of the arteries and make having a heart attack more likely. But the connection between high CRP levels and heart attack risk is not understood very well.
How To Prepare
There is no special preparation for a C-reactive protein (CRP) test. You might be asked to not eat or drink for a few hours before the test.
Tell your doctor all of the medicines you are taking because some medicines can affect the results.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
The health professional taking a sample of your blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Put a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Put pressure on the site and then put on a bandage.

As for the episode airing this week, Michael gave this hint about his character: "We get a first glimpse of his mother," but the TV star wouldn't say which actress would be playing her. "Suffice to say that she's very beautiful and she's a mystery."

A winter storm is forecast to impact much of Wisconsin on Sunday.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Adams, Taylor, Clark and Juneau Counties until midnight on Sunday.
A Winter Weather Advisory will be active for the rest of the entire state until 9 a.m. Monday.
This winter storm will be moving toward the region from the southwest. That will pull warmer air into the area and provide the possibility of the storm dropping a mix of freezing rain, sleet, rain and accumulating snowfall through Sunday afternoon and evening.
Most locations in the Newsline 9 viewing area can expect to see the storm begin with snow or sleet by late Sunday afternoon. By Sunday evening however, warmer air aloft will surge northward from a warm front. That brings in the opportunity for freezing rain and sleet to develop.
Since the storm is not forecast to only bring snow, but a wintry mix of precipitation, snowfall accumulations are difficult to project. A lot hinges upon how far north the warm front is able to push and how long into the day snow is able to fall. Given the storm's projected track, between 2 and 4" of snow along with periods of a wintry mix is currently forecast over much of Marathon, Wood and Portage Counties by Sunday evening. North of Wausau accumulations between 3 and 5" now seem more likely, with a lesser chance of seeing wintry mix.
South of Wood and Portage Counties the chance of seeing accumulating ice becomes more likely. That will significantly cut back on snowfall totals with the storm.
Current snowfall projections place under 3" of snow south of Adams and Juneau County. However, ice accumulations could build up near .25" by Sunday night.
With a swath of wintry mix precipitation moving over the state, motorists should use caution when driving on Sunday evening and Monday morning. Though the brunt of the storm is expected to be east of Wisconsin by daybreak on Monday, it is very possible slick roadways could still exist during the Monday morning commute hours.
Stay tuned to Newsline 9 for the latest as this winter storm approaches the state. For a look at the most recent forecast update follow this link: http://www.waow.com/story/18878637/current-forecast

You have to think that the locked-out NFL refs are relishing the moment. As the guys on the field who are paid to be hated by both teams and the fans, they are finally missed and appreciated.
While the real refs are smiling, the rest of the football-loving world cringes. And what would a good collective cringe be without some genius social media responses?
Amongst the howls, none stand out as loudly as those from the players. Brandon Spikes and T.J. Lang dropped enough F-bombs in their tweets to make Eddie Murphy blush. According to TechCrunch there were over 1-million zebra bashing tweets during the much criticized final play of the Packers-Seahawks game. T.J. Lang's ref-roast generated 150-thousand re-tweets. #Touchception

It offers everything from movies and TV shows, to On Demand entertainment. And with most providers you get all your local channels for free. It's easier to install, because there is less equipment than with satellite. Bundling it with high-speed internet could save you up to $400 a year. Plus cable is:

TV Use in Knoxville, PA
To learn about viewing trends and cable TV in Knoxville, PA, examine habits of Americans at large. In America, 33% of homes have four or more TVs, and even though about half the population streams some TV content, 97% of U.S. residents still primarily watch broadcast TV. More than 72% of Americans combine their cable TV service with a broadband Internet connection into a bundle. So what, right? Well, of your fellow 632 Knoxville residents, there's:
- 209 owners of at least 4 TV's
- 303 who take the term 'television' show lightly (and stream instead)
- 613 who do just fine with a traditional TV, thank you
- 455 users with bundled cable subscriptions
- 525 Knoxville residents confined to network air dates and times.
Why Choose Cable Internet in Knoxville

That's the average annual savings from bundling cable TV and Internet services. Cable Internet typically provides downstream speeds of 5-10 Mbps; that's approximately 4.5 Mbps faster than national average. These two reasons explain why Knoxville has 202 cable Internet customers and why broadband penetration increased during 2009 to 2010 by 5%.

Other than the blush DO NOT use any of these. (although I wouldn't advise the blush tip either, the colour will look splotchy, instead apply it with your fingertips or a foundation brush)
Cornstarch is terrible as a setting powder (read here)
Crayons ARE NOT for use on the skin and when melted in the wrong conditions the formula can turn toxic and chemical reactions can occur.
Petroleum Jelly is dangerous for the lashes, I haven't met an optometrist who advises it, it can even cause blindness. (read here)
Cinnamon should not be used to create a lip plumper, unless you are a professional cosmetic chemist don't make any makeup/skincare products. Cinnamon is rarely used in lip-plumpers nowadays.

How do you stop reliving your worst scenes in your head, even when you try to ignore them? - filmstudentwithacomputer
Improv is like toilet paper. It's not meant to be saved, it's meant to be thrown away as soon as we're done with it. There's two answers to this question. First, the hard-ass answer. I'm sorry, I gotta be rough on you.
Stop. Just stop doing it. Get over yourself and whatever is going on in your life that makes you feel the need to dwell on a scene long after it's over. Save your regrets and wishing you could change the past for something more important than the most ethereal and transient of art forms. The scene is gone, get up and do another one.
"Fuck it. People don't judge my mistakes unless I telegraph that I'm an idiot." - Susan Messing
And now the nice answer. Take that scene, and imagine it's a weird funk of gas floating around you. Become a gravity well, and draw all of that gas towards you and coalesce it into a tiny star. Imagine it floating in front of you. Manipulate it with your hands. Push it around, toy with it, become its master. You are its god, you control its properties. Make it lighter than air. Take it, raise it up to the sky, and push it away. Let it go rise up and fly away. The scene is gone. Get up and do another one.
"The best thing about improv is that no matter how bad your show is, it's only 30 minutes, and never exists again. The worst thing is no matter how good your show is, it's only 30 minutes, and never exists again." - Mick Napier
And start doing scenes that you love doing, whatever that means. The minute you start loving the smell of your own shit, the minute you start loving everything you do, you'll stop doing so-called "worst scenes."

Any ideas?
I found a bible that has an elderly couples name in it that has been buried in this cemetery. Do you have any ideas how to contact the family? I've looked online, but this is were I left off. I thought the family would like the bible. Believe it or not I live in California. Any help would be appreciated :)

RE: John Strang
I know that someone has been working that cemetery adding pictures of grave markers and updating it. I've been working independently adding copies of death certificates. I don't have a contact for them but Robyn will. It too bad they don't have general contact information on there Info page. I put mine on the Dora Cemetery Find A Grave Info page. I'll do whatever is needed to assist you

John Strang
I placed John Strang in the Myrtle Point Cemetery based on it being listed on the death certificate. It could be and probably is the one filling out the death certificate meant Norway since the two cemeteries are about 4 miles apart. It is actually the same death certificate. I can delete mine

RE: Obit for Robert Crowl 93669835
Copyright laws are federal laws and Find-a-Grave has some rules around them. I read the entire copyright law at one time (it's quite extensive). I don't remember all of it but for the most part, printed materials are protected for 75 years. Each year we can transcribe a newer years publications as they enter the public domain. As a general rule, I stick with anything published before 1930 as fair game. Most newspapers won't care anyway about a newer obituary being transcribed but some do. For obits 1930 and newer, I'll note the location of the obituary and a summary of it - including important aspects such as names of deceased parents etc... Another issue with newer obituaries is the publication of living people. Find-a-Grave has rules on that too. If the named persons (children, etc...) were young enough to still be living, and we don't know for sure if they are or not, we have to leave their names out. For that, I stick with a general rule of anyone born before 1910 (they would be older than 100 now). Amendments to copyright laws were made in the 70's restricting even further publications from that point forward (we won't live long enough to have anything from the 70's and newer in the public domain). There is another aspect of copyright laws that exempts some published information for non-profit purposes - that part is confusing and in a big gray area. Find-a-Grave is for profit so it wouldn't apply here anyway.
I hope this helps. I like to add obituaries to my memorials - they just need to be summarized if newer than 1930 (or so).
Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to transcribe the obituary for Robert Crowl. I know you put in a lot of effort. I'm sorry but I can't post a 2010 obituary as it is copy protected. I can post a summary of the obituary that mentions where the obituary can be found, dates, names of deceased people, etc...
Thanks again

Sign of the times
If someone asked you how much it cost you to run your truck last year, would you have to spend hours rummaging through receipts and adding them up? Even if you knew it cost $43,569, would you know how much it differed from the year before? What caused the increase or decline? This kind of information comes from keeping tabs on your cost per mile.
If you don't know your CPM, you don't know whether you made money on your last load, and you don't know what your next load ought to pay, either. You don't know which expenses are urgent problems and which ones you can take in stride. Tracking CPM is as necessary as putting fuel in your tank.
"It's just something you do, like breathing," says 15-year owner-operator Randy Richesin of Sweetwater, Tenn. "When I am a leased owner-operator, I have to know my CPM to make sure my business is turning a profit. When I'm running under my own authority, I also have to know my per-mile cost in order to know how much to charge for my services."
Sure, an accountant can give you a monthly or quarterly financial report, but that profit-and-loss report doesn't give you the information you need to analyze your operation. CPM is more useful because it is the basic unit of measure for truckers.
"It's the best way to compare business period to business period, and it's a better way to compare yourself to other owner-operators," says Tom Sonricker, president of Transport Business Solutions LLC in Kernersville, N.C. "It's something we preach all the time to all our clients."
The hardest part of computing CPM is pulling out receipts and estimating those costs you don't have a record for. It's essential to include every trucking-related expense. Of course, you'll miss a few now and then, such as the 50 cents for an occasional USA Today. The formula is simple: CPM equals your costs (fixed and variable) divided by the number of miles run. Let's take a closer look at these elements.
Fixed costs. These include your truck payment, insurance, licensing and registration, and taxes. Knowing your fixed costs will help you evaluate when it's prudent to run with a lower paying load, which has no effect on fixed costs, or to sit and wait for a higher-paying load.
Variable costs. The more miles you run, the higher your variable costs will be. These include fuel, tires, maintenance and repairs. Variable CPM should stay fairly constant unless something unusual happens, such as a fuel price spike or a high repair bill.
Miles. This should include every mile, even deadhead. Empty loads are part of your business, too.
It's best to calculate CPM on a monthly basis. For annual expenses, such as insurance and licenses, divide the total by 12.
If you've never tracked your CPM before, take your 2000 Schedule C expenses and divide your total expenses by the number of miles you ran in 2000. That won't be as accurate as logging every expense as you go and developing your CPM from scratch, but it will give you an estimate.
Let's say your total CPM is 66 cents, but six months from now, your CPM increases to 71 cents. Why did your costs increase? Maybe you bought a set of tires or a generator or had new injectors installed. As long as you can explain the increase and it was necessary for the operation of your business, you can evaluate how serious the development is. What if you can't explain it? It could be hidden in increased fuel costs. Maybe you've been idling excessively. Your engine might need an overhaul. By knowing your CPM, you have a valuable tool to help you make better decisions.
For example, buying a new truck raises fixed costs (truck payment and insurance) but lowers variable costs (maintenance and fuel). You can use your CPM to see whether the lower variable costs are enough to offset the higher fixed costs of a new truck.
