Camouflage: More Than Meets The Eye, Animals in Disguise!
For many animals living in the wild, appearance can play a major role in determining their chances of survival. While for many animals this simply means camouflage or blending in with their surroundings, other animals have adapted other patterns that serve different purposes, but with the same goal of survival always in mind.
Categories of Camouflage
The most common type of camouflaging is called crypsis. This describes the ability of an animal to completely avoid detection by predators. Often, this simply requires being the same colour as one's surroundings. Popular examples of this include the snowshoe hare and the arctic fox, whose fur colour can change according to the season. As the season changes, and winter approaches, the brown fur of these animals turns snow white, meaning these animals always have the right fur to match their surroundings. Another great example of crypsis camouflage is the Vietnamese Mossy Frog from the ROM's Hands-on Gallery! The textures and colours on the back of these frogs make them virtually indistinguishable from a clump of grass or moss. When silent or stationary, these animals become almost invisible against their surroundings. This is a huge advantage for defending against predators, but can also be helpful to predators in catching their prey.
Another form of camouflage is mimicry, and this describes an animal that resembles other elements in nature. Stick bugs, for example, by resembling leaves and branches of trees where they live, can avoid detection by potential predators. Stick insects, and other closely-related leaf insects are some of the most impressive feats of camouflage in the animal kingdom as they mimic not just the colours, but also the shapes of their surroundings. Another form of mimicry occurs in the milk snake, which is a completely harmless species of snake whose skin pattern closely resembles that of the deadly coral snake. By simply resembling a dangerous animal, which no predator would want to harm, mimicry can help to ensure that a harmless animal remains left alone.
Motion dazzle describes a type of camouflage where an animal is still visible, but the pattern on its skin makes it hard to locate precisely. Motion dazzle is a particularly effective form of camouflage for animals on the move. The most famous example of this is the zebra. When a pack of zebras gather, or a single zebra runs, its black and white stripes make it difficult to determine where one zebra ends and another begins. Interestingly enough, it doesn't really matter that the colour of zebras stands out against their surroundings since their major predator, the lion, is colour blind. This shows just how important the pattern on an animal's skin can be.
Camouflaging can be especially difficult for animals that live underwater, where most of the surroundings are made up of clear water, but even marine animals find ways to camouflage themselves. One of the most effective ways of becoming invisible is to be highly transparent. Many aquatic animals like the jellyfish and certain shrimplike crustaceans have highly gelatinous bodies, made mostly of water. The jellyfish, for example, boasts the astonishingly high statistic of being composed of as much as 95% water. While this has the disadvantage of making their bodies bulky and the animal slower, it also makes the animal almost entirely transparent.
Another popular form of camouflage used by underwater animals is called silvering. This technique is employed by fish such as sardine and herring. It is commonly used in high-to-medium depths of sea, where there is still some light shining through. These fish typically have reflective skin elements that can act like mirrors. Depending on the angle they are viewed from, they can be hard to spot, or can even be rendered completely invisible to predators.
The Hidden World Of Camouflage
These are just some of many of the different techniques that animals out there use. I find it fascinating that for all those creatures we see out in nature, no matter how strange they may look sometimes, there's always a reason why that particular look works for that animal. It's also awesome to see how camouflage can work both ways. While many different animals want to blend into their surroundings and go unnoticed, some have different reasons for doing so than others. Some are trying to hide from their predators but others wish to remain unseen by their prey. So whether it's something simple like being the same colour as grass and dirt or the much bolder route of trying to look like something they're not, it seems like every animal has a different way of achieving the same goal: surviving.

Welcome to the Black Parade.5 Reviews
Mikey and Frankie are chummy now. There might be something wrong with Lindsey's baby. Oh, it's April now.
And Gerard wanted Frank to have a friend.
At first Mikey thought it would just be a sort of chore, but he truly grew to like Frank. He was one quirky dude.
Mikey's visits became regular. He and Frank had been instant friends. He finally had a friend, someone he would be forever thankful to.
He and Frank did all sorts of things, causing Frank to actually have a life. He got out of the house, went places, did things, had fun. Mikey didn't seem to mind at all any of Frank's handicaps. In fact, whenever they got Frank down or agitated, Mikey was there to tell Frank it didn't matter. It did matter, though. But Frank would never tell him that. He began to appreciate and admire Mikey.
At Mikey's they had a trampoline, it was one of those netted one. After seeing Frank's envious glare, Mikey took Frank out. Setting Frankie in the middle, and jumping around. Frank felt like the little kid he never got to be. Ever since he had his childhood taken from him. It had been the most amazing feeling ever.
Mikey's friends excepted Frank. They didn't care. It was cool, it was brilliant. He finally fit in. Though Mikey's girlfriend didn't seem to like him much.
It had been several weeks and Frank still hadn't made any progress.
Having a glimmer of one future day being normal, made being possibly permanently shoved back so much more unbearable.
Life was moving on, and Frank was ebbing and flowing, as the tides do, with it. He was genuinely happy now, no longer simply content.
One determined day he pushed past the barrier and earned back his right hand. Doing things right handed was very awkward, he found out
It was now spring break. And Gerard had seemed kind of weird lately, off.
Frank tried many times to get his arms to work. He knew, knew somewhere in the back of his mind that he could use them. It was just so hard. They were heavy, like leaden nubs. But he wouldn't give up. No, Frank wanted this too badly just to give up. All hope was not lost in him.
And finally, finally, he got his left arm to swing upwards. He kept it aloft for a few seconds, before it fell, crashing down back into his lap.
Gerard was in his local music store. It was really just a place that sold old and new cd's, with a few guitars and amps mixed in. Oh, and there was one drum kit hidden in the back because the greying up tight account of an owner despised it's existence and the sound it emitted.
He drummed through all the titles with his fingertips, not looking for anything specific.
Then, his ringtone blared throughout the room. The nerdy acne ridden boy at the check out counter looked up from his comic, pushing up his thick glasses with his long middle finger, glaring at Gerard.
Gerard slid out of the ancient store and answered it. Lindsey.
She was gasping for breath. "Gerard? Gerard, I think there's something wrong with the baby." she wheezed out weakly.
He was stunned for several seconds but then he took action.
"I'll be there soon. Hold on."
He hopped into his car and had to resist the tempting urge to drive like a maniac. Getting polled over would not help Lindsey.
At every stoplight he hit, he started freaking out even more. Oh, damn. D-amm-n.
He was so glad for that key Lindsey had given him forever ago. He hadn't expected to need it.
He stormed in and called out for her, finding her laying half on the white tiles of the bathroom doorway and half on the carpeting of the hall. Her hair falling from it's pony tail and into her eyes, blood pouring from her lips, down her chin, globing and pooling on the tiles. She clutched her blooming stomach.
He helped her up. She was shaking and unsteady. On their journey out to the car, she looked him straight in the eye, his arms still wrapped protectively around her, and like a small child said, "I'm Scared."
Oh, he was too. In his mind he was running around like a madman, arms failing about the air, screaming at the top of his lungs until his voice hurt.
Deep breath.
Calm, cool, and collected.
Lindsey had hit unconscious on the way over to the hospital. Gerard had carried her in bridal style. At the sight of her, nurses began rushing around, prepping.
Her sweat pants were soaked, as was his car, but that didn't matter, and the white of her baggy tee shirt dribbled in her blood.
He would never forget.
Hours had passed and he had no information. Even though he was all she had, he wasn't family. Which left him uninformed and out of 'the loop'.
The hospital waiting room was equipped with horrid, armless, plastic chairs. Gerard was laying across three. There were only three to the wall, so his feet hung over the edge majorly. His arm covering his eye.
He had passed scared out of his wits. Now he was just plain tired. He was too worried to be able to cure his boredom, but too indifferent to be skeptical.
Gerard rubbed a hand over his bleary eyes.
The lights around her were bright and blinding, fluorescent. Her eyes rolled back in head. She was faintly aware of the buzzing sounds alive around her. Just the background music to her thoughts. She felt coated in sweat. Lindsey knew there should have been pain, but she was just numb. Numb.
She was going to a place Gerard had only talk about. Painted with words a concept she could never understand. There wasn't something other. There was black and there was nothing. It was the end. Or at least that was what she had spent her short life believing. An atheist to the extreme.
City smoldering in the background. Black puffs of smoke licking the dirt grey air, particles of who knows what floating all around. From a distance she heard the tap of a snare. Lindsey was a alone, so painfully alone. She was in her blood coated clothes of earlier. Everything after lunch was a blur. All she knew was she had been getting up to get her snack and everything went bad.
She looked down. Her stomach. It was empty. Lifeless. She smoothed a hand over it horrified.
She was a fuck up.
A failure as a mother.
She knew things would turn bad.
Suddenly she wasn't alone.
A little girl came trotting up. She had black hair that kissed her shoulders and a plum dress with striped stockings topped off with little Mary Janes.
"Mama." She whispered sweetly.
"Do you come to haunt me?" Lindsey asked robotically, feeling strangely detached all of the sudden, and the tears gracing her pale cheeks.
"I come to help." The little girl told her. Her little girl.
The girl of six or so, maybe more, maybe less, walked slowly over and embraced Lindsey's hand with her own minute one. Heart swelling with pride, Lindsey squeezed her baby girl's fingers.
Her child led the way. Lindsey fallowing behind, deafly awestruck.
"Mama, the others would like to meet you." The girl whispered innocently, looking up expectantly at her parent, tugging on Lindsey lounge pants, as they stopped out of nowhere.
Continuing on, her bare feet across the dying street. Destruction piled up around her. She watched curiously.
Then they came. Whoever they were. The 'others' she supposed. There were hundreds of them, they lined the winding street for as far as she could see. They all looked as though they had a story to tell.
And her little girl's fingers slipped from hers. And then she was gone. Leaving Lindsey to face these people by her self, she wasn't even sure they were truly people.
It seemed unbearable. She couldn't go in alone...
Just hang tight.
I really appriacte you guys so much.

What is the recovery time for a frostbite injury?
The recovery time for a frostbite injury depends on the extent of tissue injury and whether or not there are any subsequent complications, such as infection. It may take 1 to 3 months before it is possible to determine the extent of tissue damage, and to clearly delineate which tissue is still viable. Some individuals will require debridement, skin grafting, or amputation of the affected area. Some patients will experience long-term sequelae from frostbite injuries, such as sensitivity to the cold with associated pain or burning, arthritis, increased sweating, and tingling of the affected area. Rarely, death occurs from infection-related complications.
When should a person seek medical care for a cold weather-injury?
- Chilblains can generally be treated at home, though if signs of infection develop from an open sore, individuals should consult a health care practitioner. Patients with recurrent chilblains should also seek medical care, as there may be another underlying disease process leading to this condition.
- Individuals with trench foot should generally consult a health care practitioner to assess the degree of injury and to monitor for any signs of infection or gangrene.
- Frostnip can be managed at home, and this condition does not typically require further evaluation.
- Individuals with frostbite or suspected frostbite should immediately go to an emergency room. Furthermore, these individuals may also be suffering from hypothermia, which requires additional treatment and evaluation, and may constitute a life-threatening condition. These are serious cold weather-related injuries that often require admission to the hospital.

ESOL courses offer you an exciting opportunity to improve your English in a variety of real-life situations. As well as having access to the College enrichment programme, ESOL learners will have the opportunity to go on a variety of visits, including museum trips and visits to Central London and Southend.
What next?
At the end of the course you can progress to the next level. When your English is strong enough you will have the opportunity to progress to vocational courses, whilst continuing to receive English support.
"I really like the lessons, because my teacher is there when I need her and we always work hard and build confidence."
Anwouska Kuamadio, ESOL Entry 3
Information about English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is also available in the following languages:
Bang! Colourful balloons are being burst by learners at the front of the classroom and an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) lesson at Redbridge College is underway.
Falling out of the balloons are well-known English words.
Lecturer Marissa explains that the individual words can be added together to form collocations – combinations of words commonly used in everyday British life.
In small groups, learners work together to form as many combinations as they can.
Some words they are familiar with, while others are new.
A short time later, the groups present their findings in English to their friends in the class.
Redbridge College's ESOL provision was rated as 'outstanding' by Ofsted on their most recent inspection of the college in 2010.
Sessions take place at the college's Ilford campus, conveniently located in Ilford town centre opposite Ilford rail station.
Back in the classroom, Marissa has presented learners with a holiday postcard.
Learners discuss the style of language used, and then take part in further practical activities designed to improve their reading and understand of English.
Later, learners are able to produce their own post card using some of the English spelling and grammar they have learnt in the day's session.
Marissa spends time with each learner, answering their individual questions and encouraging them to be expressive with their language.
Piraba Selvaratnam studies ESOL at Redbridge College.
She says: "The ESOL teachers are very encouraging and have helped to support me a lot.
"The lessons are a lot of fun, I really enjoy it.
"My English has improved so much. I would definitely recommend studying at Redbridge College for anyone wanting to study ESOL."

The inspection was carried out by one Additional Inspector.
Description of the school
Sawley Junior School is a larger than average sized school. It draws its pupils from the local area, which has a good social mix. The percentage of pupils claiming a free school meal is above average. The proportion with learning difficulties or disabilities is above average, as is the proportion with a statement of special educational need. Fewer pupils than average come from minority ethnic groups and none is at an early stage of acquiring English. Attainment on entry is broadly average. The school has a Healthy School Award.
|Grade 1
|Grade 2
|Grade 3
|Grade 4
Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
The inspection outcomes agree with the school's own judgement that it is a good school providing good value for money. There are some outstanding features in the leadership of the headteacher, pupils' personal development and in the level of care and guidance given to pupils.
The school assesses pupils' attainment soon after they enter Year 3. Standards are broadly average overall, but the school's tests at the beginning of Year 3 show there is some weakness in pupils' independent writing skills and knowledge of phonics to aid reading. Pupils achieve well and by the end of Year 6 attainment is above average overall. Standards in English and mathematics are above average, and in science they are average. Pupils have excellent attitudes towards school. They respond really well to the school's high expectation of conduct and as a result their behaviour is exemplary. The school has a calm air about it which is conducive to good learning. Pupils thoroughly enjoy school. Those entering Year 3 soon get used to the routines and say they 'settled in very quickly.' Older pupils say they 'feel very safe and comfortable in school.' They are very aware of how to stay healthy. They make very wise choices while eating at lunchtime and there is a very high take-up of extra curricular activities, many of which are aimed at promoting physical fitness. Pupils play an important role in the life of the school and through school councillors they have a significant say in what goes on from day to day. In addition to the good development of literacy, numeracy and computer skills, pupils' ability to show initiative and take on responsibility gives them a good grounding for the next stages of their school lives.
Pupils find lessons interesting. This is because teachers work hard to make learning relevant and meaningful. The quality of teaching and learning is good with some excellent aspects. The excellent way that teachers make sure that pupils are fully involved in learning and in assessing their work, means they are actively involved throughout lessons. Pupils find school interesting because the good curriculum is planned well. Subjects such as art, music and information and communication technology are linked with other subjects and used effectively to add variety and interest to classroom activities. Both pastoral care and the academic guidance pupils receive are excellent. All pupils, whatever their needs are extremely well looked after. Full assessment of each individual's academic strengths and weaknesses takes place soon after they start school and their progress from then on is very carefully tracked. This is very well established in English and mathematics and academic profiles of pupils are building up well in other subjects, including science. Sensitive and timely support is provided as a result of the interpretation of assessment data, whether providing extension work for those progressing well or providing excellent support for those struggling through helping them develop literacy skills. As a result pupils' personal development is outstanding. Leadership and management are strong. The headteacher provides outstanding leadership. She has excellent support from the senior leadership team. Areas they have worked on, including using assessment data in monitoring achievement and planning, have led to good improvements impacting well on pupils' achievement.
What the school should do to improve further
- Raise standards in science to match those in English and mathematics.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Attainment at the end of Year 6 is above average overall and pupils make good progress. Test results at the end of Year 6 are above average for English and mathematics, but have remained close to the national average in science for some years. Achievement is good overall, but satisfactory in science. The school has identified that not enough higher attaining pupils, particularly girls, achieve the higher levels in science. The school's strategies for resolving this have already had a measure of success. Pupils make particularly good progress in writing and half of the pupils attained the higher levels in English this year. Those pupils with learning difficulties or disabilities achieve extremely well as a result of accurately targeted and effective support in class and in smaller focused groups.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 1
This is a real strength of the school. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is particularly well developed leading to pupils' excellent attitudes towards school and learning. This makes a significant contribution to their good achievement. Pupils' behaviour is excellent throughout the school. Older pupils show a very mature and sensible approach to school life. They are very caring and show great pleasure in looking after other pupils including those with physical disabilities. All pupils understand the need to look after themselves and are very knowledgeable about keeping safe. They are enthusiastic about school and even younger ones talk about the full programme of after school activities, which they really enjoy. Their enthusiasm is reflected in their above average level of attendance. The school council and older pupils are extremely reliable and discharge their responsibilities very well. They show a great deal of initiative in planning and organising activities that they and other pupils have suggested.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
The quality of teaching is consistently good throughout the school with some excellent aspects, particularly in the teaching of literacy. Teachers go to great lengths to ensure that pupils at all levels of attainment take a full part in lessons. Pupils are involved in assessing how well they have learned during lessons. They engage in self-assessment particularly well as they are able to pin point where their learning is stronger or what they need to do to improve. The pace of lessons is generally brisk. Teachers have high expectations and plan challenging learning activities for pupils at all levels of attainment. Pupils say that the work provided 'makes them think.' When teachers ask questions, they expect pupils to justify the reasoning behind their answers. This is more prominent in English and mathematics than science.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
The curriculum is constructed well to provide an interesting and enjoyable range of stimulating learning experiences for pupils at all ages and levels of attainment. Strong links between subjects make the curriculum meaningful to pupils. Personal, social and health education, including sex education and raising pupils' awareness of the dangers of drug abuse, contribute significantly to their personal development and to their safety in and out of school. There is a good range of extra curricular activities provided for a wide range of pupils and these very effectively support pupils' awareness of healthy living and offer a wide range of creative learning opportunities. The curriculum in science has recently been modified to meet the needs of more able pupils and indications are that this is having a positive impact on standards.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 1
This is outstanding both in terms of the personal support pupils receive and in the academic guidance, which supports the improvement in their achievement. The school has excellent links with professional agencies which help provide sensitive and highly effective personal support for all pupils who need it and in particular those with learning difficulties or disabilities. Child protection procedures and health and safety measures are meticulous and fully in place. Checks have been made on all adults who come into contact with pupils. The school builds a detailed profile of each individual pupil's strengths and weaknesses and very carefully tracks their academic progress as they move through the school. Assessment information is used extremely well to identify pupils who need to be supported further or who need to be challenged more. For example, this has led to improvements in the curriculum offered to pupils in science.
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
The headteacher shows excellent leadership qualities and she has established a very strong senior leadership team. They work extremely effectively together to monitor pupils' achievement and to evaluate the school's strengths and weaknesses. Subject leadership is good; subject leaders work closely with members of the senior leadership team and other staff to improve provision in individual subjects. This has resulted, for example in good cross-curricular links which add interest and enjoyment to learning and improvements being agreed in science. A particularly strong commitment to ensuring that there is equality of opportunity for all pupils underpins the school's work. The governors are well informed, play an active part in monitoring the school's performance and provide a healthy balance of support and challenge. They are actively involved in school self-evaluation, which effectively identifies priorities for improvement. The school's capacity to improve is good.

Should My Company Have a Wikipedia Page?
by Scott McIntosh on November 15, 2011 | 6 comments
in Corporate Communications, Public Relations
If you've ever searched for something online, and since you're online right now I'm guessing you have, then you've probably come across a Wikipedia listing. But what is Wikipedia? According to its website, Wikipedia is a, "free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 19.9 million articles (over 3.76 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world. Almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site, and it has about 90,000 regularly active contributors."
Many companies can be found listed on Wikipedia but that doesn't mean that EVERY company can be there. A company must meet Wikipedia's stringent notability standards before it can be regarded as appropriate for a Wikipedia page. The standards are lengthy and rigorous; by its own definition, "Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, paid material, autobiography, and product placement are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article." A company must have achieved a certain and measureable level of notoriety to be considered.
Assuming your company meets Wikipedia's standards, would you still want to be listed?
The greatest benefit of Wikipedia pages is that they generally show up in the top results of major search engines, providing more exposure and potential credibility for an organization when searched. This can help build trust and legitimacy among individuals searching for information about a certain company. Because they appear almost always near the top of the search results, Wikipedia pages also push down other listings and can help reduce the amount of unwanted results such as negative news articles or reviews, if they exist.
There are also risks to consider in the creation of a Wikipedia page. Wikipedia pages are not controlled by the organization the page describes and the page can be updated by anyone. This allows negative content to be placed on the page, whether or not it is true or accurate. Anyone remember what happened to Sinbad? Even if unverified content is eventually removed from the main page, it will still reside under the View History tab or on other websites that may have referenced the material when it was live.
Per Wikipedia standards, neither a business, nor organizations or consultants working for that business, are eligible to make any corrections to that business' page due to conflicts of interest. Though corrections cannot be made directly to a company page, companies or their representatives can recommend page updates and corrections to Wikipedia. Persons making recommendations must have an active Wikipedia account and should be active in the talk page for that Wikipedia article. And even then, the changes may not be made.
This ongoing maintenance of a company page requires constant monitoring to detect any incorrect or negative changes, which can be somewhat time-consuming. One solution is to use the watch function provided by Wikipedia. To use this system, monitors can log into their Wikipedia accounts to be alerted to any changes made. Change alerts can also be subscribed to via email updates or an RSS feed.
Perhaps the greatest negative to having a Wikipedia page lies somewhere in the future. When a company executive is charged with a DUI, or your kitchen is found to be in violation of health codes, or a disgruntled ex-employee decides to post a compromising photo from a company holiday party – be assured it will end up on Wikipedia … right there at the top of any Google search.
Getting Listed
Based on the information above, we consider the CONs to outweigh the PROs for most businesses. If you disagree and are interested in getting your company listed, you can request a page utilizing Wikipedia's request feature located here: Wikipedia:Requested articles. This will alert one of the "90,000 regularly active contributors" to create your listing. Or you can just wait. If your company is appropriate enough for Wikipedia, chances are somebody eventually create your page.
What are your thoughts on Wikipedia pages?

Pingback: PR Pros Push For Wikipedia Editing Rights | Lovell Communications
When a potential customer searches a particular keyword, the Wikipedia article for that keyword may appear. In the article on that keyword may be listed 'noted companies". The only way to get listed in that section is to have a company page in Wikipedia. In this case, would it be advisable to have a company page? Why let your competitors be positioned as experts when you know your firm is highly qualified?
There used to be a day when you could just throw up a couple of articles at EzineArticles and expect a fair amount of traffic. I'm not going to exaggerate by calling it a floodgate of traffic, truthfully, I never got near that level on any of my EZA articles.`
Take a look at our personal blog too
On the bright side, there are Institutes and Clinics offering a range of other unlikely products

History Comes Alive - Marconi Special Event April 23
Contact: Barbara Dougn, Education Specialist, 508-255-3421 ext. 16
Cape Cod National Seashore will host a special event on April 23 to celebrate one of its cultural resources, the Marconi Wireless Station Site in South Wellfleet. It was from this station that Marconi sent the first wireless-transatlantic message from the United States to Europe on January 18, 1903. The site was listed in 1975 on the National Register of Historic Places for its importance in the history of technology and its association with Marconi. Marconi is often referred to as the "Father of Radio." He won the 1909 Nobel Prize in physics for his contributions to wireless communications. Worldwide, radio, and wireless technology are now part of most people's daily lives.
Activities will be held at two locations:
9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, Coast Guard Station, Coast Guard Beach, Eastham. Visit with the Marconi Cape Cod Radio Club, KM1CC and local amateur radio operators while they make radio contacts in International Morse Code and voice with people around the world. Activities for kids will be offered, including the use of signal flags and Morse code using sound and light.
10 AM to 2 PM, Marconi Station Site, off Route 6, South Wellfleet. A ranger and amateur radio operators will give a tour of the Marconi Station Site exhibits and demonstrate wireless technologies like two-way radios and global positioning systems (GPS).
If you go:
The Coast Guard Station, Coast Guard Beach, Eastham is located at the end of Doane Road. Turn right at the traffic light at Route 6 and Nauset Road. Proceed until you reach the ocean, then turn right to cross the bridge leading to the Coast Guard Station.
The Marconi Station Site is located in the Marconi Station Area, Wellfleet. Turn right at the Marconi Station Area traffic light on Route 6 in Wellfleet. Turn left and follow the road to where it ends at the Marconi Station Site.
For more information on Cape Cod National Seashore programs call 508-255-3421, or check the
park's website, www.nps.gov/caco.
Did You Know?
Kettle pond surface water levels are controlled by local groundwater levels. Around Cape Cod National Seashore ponds, these levels range from six to nine feet above average sea level. The bottoms of all the kettle ponds are below sea level.

Cap-Sleeve Slim Gown with Keyhole Back Style VW9768 181 183
my dream dress i purchased this dress for my 10/2009 wedding. this was the most beautiful dress and i loved every minute of wearing it! August 24, 2010
I love this gown! It was the first and only bridal gown I���ve ever tried on. This is my third marriage, and I did not wear a gown for the first two. So, I wanted to find something special that I felt good in. I put the dress on, then the veil, and the tears came. I ���said yes to the dress���! I knew it was the one for me. My fianc�� and I looked through the DB catalog and picked it together. It was the one gown that we both liked. I am thrilled and excited to wear it on my wedding day. I purchased the chapel veil to go with the dress���it���s beautifully elegant together. I am also switching out the sash to champagne to match my color scheme. Lovely, timeless, traditional gown. May 19, 2010
Beautiful Dress I bought this dress 2 months prior to the wedding because it was a new addition to the store. I'm glad I did, it was beautiful and elegant and just a classic dress that I look back on and just smile. I received many compliments, the only thing I wish i did right was getting the right size cups and not taking in the straps as much as i did to leave a more defined neckline..and getting a great bra, that i did not do! but all in all I felt beautiful! May 18, 2010
Gorgeous, Stunning, Beautiful When I saw this dress on my daughter, we just fell in love with it. She had actually made an appointment to try on another dress, but once she tried this one on, we knew it was absolutely perfect. She especially loves the bodice and the keyhole back of the dress. The dress gives her a feeling of 40's glamour (ala Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner). She has decided against a veil and will use a clip feather of some sort in the side of her hair. Other people who were in the store with friends/family looking at dresses, all said to my daughter, "If you're not thinking about buying that dress, you should be, it is gorgeous on you!"

Toledo police and undercover detectives are taking extra trips around West Toledo. Officers say The crooks are ripping of TV's, laptops whatever they can get their hands on. Their MO is the same.
Police say the crooks strike in broad daylight. They back the car in the drive way, kick in the front or back, or break a window. There's been a rash of burglaries. Detectives released a picture of one of the suspects.
Several quiet West Toledo neighbors have been hit by burglars. These are the hands of victim who says she's scared to stay home alone."It's like they invaded my privacy more than worried about the TV," said the victim.
She says the crooks got away with her 42 inch television. She showed us how the suspects tired to pry open her back door, but when they couldn't get in they broke this little window and unlocked the big window. Detectives say the suspects MO is the same in every case. Investigators are looking for more than one guy.
Here's a list of twelve streets the suspects have hit in West Toledo. It's mostly in the in the Upton, Berdan and Sylvania area. Some neighbors are getting involved to help police track down the bad guys "A very attentive and alert neighbor took some very good photos for us one Philando Hudson we are currently looking for him right now," said Lt. Mark King. The neighbor captured the suspects and the car used in the crime. Lt. Mark King urges everyone to watch out for their neighbor. "If they see something out of the ordinary a person they haven't seen before that's not familiar to them maybe a vehicle parked nearby in a driveway if it doesn't look right it's probably not right they need to get on the phone and call 911 and tell us," said Lt. King.
Police believe Philando Hudson is responsible for at least one burglary in West Toledo. But they don't know if he's responsible for breaking into this single mother's home. "I never seen anything suspicious and I know there's crimes and criminals in every neighborhood but I was more shocked that they decided to pick me," said the victim.
Police are looking for two cars the say were involved in some of the crimes. A bronze 1999 four door Toyota Camry Ohio license plate FPG8534 and a maroon 2012 four door Honda Civic Ohio plate FNY3750.
If you've seen these vehicles or the suspect in our story call police at 419-245-3195.

I am quite sure that Ms. Pershey is sincere in her thoughts; but there is a faulty and ultimately unpersuasive weakness in her line of reasoning. It runs like this: for the ŌĆ£we generally were not [Evangelical]ŌĆØ folk, SSM is important for a lot of reasons; and yet it is not to be ŌĆ£thatŌĆØ important to Christians of a more conservative bent. ŌĆ£KumbayaŌĆØ and all that stuff. ŌĆ£Christian unity over centuries of shameful denominational conflict.ŌĆØ
To conservative Christians, this is an obviously asymmetrical relationship. If Christian unity is supposed to be all that important, then why do the ŌĆ£we generally were not [Evangelical]ŌĆØ folk think it is absolutely OK to push an agenda which is sure to be grievously divisive even among Christians of good will? If KumbayaŌĆØ and all that stuff is all fired important, the why donŌĆÖt the ŌĆ£we generally were not [Evangelical]ŌĆØ folk walk under their own umbrella? The suspicion among conservative Christians is that all this Christian unity talk is mere window dressingŌĆöa fabrication--and those who use it donŌĆÖt really believe it. And no amount of protestations to the contrary will be ever good enough to dissuade this suspicion.
I have found that the more liberal Christians believe that all Christians will eventually ŌĆ£come aroundŌĆØ to the belief of essential goodness of homosexuality and SSM; and to be fair there are past historical cases which support this prediction. One only has to observe the present silence if not acceptance within conservative Churches concerning divorceŌĆöa practice which brought one into social ostracism in those same Churches only a few decades ago. But at the same time similar predictions about the positive acceptance and even blessing of abortion have been proven incorrect. Only time will tell how this will turn out for World Vision.

Take my word for it...Wilson County is a damn good place to be FROM..... A LONG WAY FROM.
I left on a bus many, many years ago and I can count on one hand the number of times that I have driven through Wilson County since. I found the people, the politicians to be small minded and non progressive. Kids that get out of high school in Wilson County have to leave so that they can make a decent life for themselves.
This Supt has no real interest in FISD. If he had been at a 5A school and was coming to FISD, then that would prove that he's interested in the welfare and eduction of children in Wilson County. But, since he came from a one stop-sign town to a larger city, that proves that he is using FISD merely as a stepping stone and does not intend to make Wilson County his home. You watch...in 3 or 4 years he'll be sniffing out other Supt jobs in higher profile places...either places that are 4A but growing fast and will very soon have a 5A school or a place that already has at least one 5A school in one of the snooty subdivisions. Why would anyone want to live in Floresville if they're capable of some place better unless they are only trying to improve their resume and using it as a stepping stone.

Blog post
It's time to deal with Peak Oil
Posted Mar 19, 2010 by Richard Heinberg
The "Peak Oil" concept — that the world's petroleum-production rate will soon reach its maximum and commence an inevitable decline, with negative economic consequences — has been around in scientifically articulated form at least since 1998; long enough to see it confirmed in significant ways.
The rate of discovery of new oilfields has been falling since 1964. The biggest find in recent years is Tupi, in Brazilian waters, which is claimed to hold five-to-eight billion barrels of oil; but that's only enough to slake the world's thirst for 60 to 90 days. Most producing nations are past their domestic peaks and are experiencing slowing output, despite every effort to maintain flow rates.
Skeptics point out that total world oil reserves continue to grow. But this may not be a reliable indication of where we stand: Often, in nations that have seen a peak and subsequent decline in production, domestic reserves continued to rise right up to, or even past, the date of peak production. Why? Oil companies replace reserves of high-quality, cheaply-produced oil with reserves of low-quality, slow-, or expensive-to-produce oil or tar sands.
Rates of output decline in older, giant oilfields have proven to be more trustworthy indicators of long-term trends. (For instance, they've enabled successful peaking forecasts for the United States, the North Sea and other regions). For the world, the average decline rate from existing fields has been calculated by the International Energy Agency at 4.5% per year. The world needs to develop the equivalent of a Saudi Arabia's worth of oil production capacity every four years to offset such declines. This is quite a burden for the industry, which must now look for oil in ultra-deep water, in polar regions, or in politically fractured nations, since all the easy-to-find, easy-to-extract oil already has been located and much of it pumped.
So far, the record year for world crude production was 2005, and the record month was July 2008. Tellingly, the leveling-off of extraction rates between 2005 and 2008 occurred in the context of rising oil prices; indeed, in July 2008, the price spiked 50% higher than the previous inflation-adjusted record, set in the 1970s. Yet as both oil demand and prices rose, production barely budged in response.
While many commentators believe the jury is still out on Peak Oil, the list of petroleum analysts who say world oil production has already peaked, or will do so in the next five years, lengthens almost daily, and includes CEOs and other well-placed leaders within the oil industry.
The argument that oil production could theoretically continue to grow past 2015 is mainly put forward by organizations such as Cambridge Energy Research Associates and Saudi Aramco, which explain away evidence of dwindling discoveries, depleting oilfields and stagnating total production by claiming that it is demand for oil that has peaked, not supply — a claim that hinges on the observation that oil prices are high enough to discourage potential buyers. But high prices for a commodity usually signify scarcity, so the "peak demand" argument doesn't hold water.
Peak Oil has significant implications for our economy. In response to the 2008 price spike, the global airline industry nose-dived and auto companies suffered. Worldwide shipping slowed drastically and hasn't recovered. Demand for oil plummeted in late 2008, and so did the price — temporarily. But today's price is again high, almost to the point of nipping economic recovery.
What should we do about Peak Oil? Start with what the U.K. Industry Task Force on Peak Oil (which included Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines) has done: Acknowledge the reality of supply limits. Then study the vulnerabilities of Canada's transport and food systems to high and volatile oil prices, and start making those systems more resilient and less oil-dependent.
But do it fast. Adaptation will take decades, and we are starting very late.

Amazing barrage of deeply-ignorant/shilling/market-fundamentalist-simpleton responses cluttering up these comments.
For the intelligent, open-minded reader who wants to look seriously at the matter, it's a good idea to remember that amongst the cacophony of voices all shouting about this subject, Richard Heinberg has +earned+ himself, over the past decade or so, a position as one of the very best, most far-seeing, and most consistently right commentators anywhere in the world. Ignore the ignorant, the shills and the delusional market-fundamentalists, and study Richard's output. That way lies good sense, and the chance of making an intelligent preparation for you and yours and for your local community, for what's coming at us as a result of the peaking of global oil production. The +current+ peaking: it's happening NOW.
Leave the fools and shills to stew in their own ridiculousness. Geophysical reality is overtaking them -- and us -- right now, even as we continue to haver. Their wrong-headed babbling will be silenced very soon.
Best wishes, and good luck, RhG

For a general introduction to tactics, see Martin van Creveld, Technology and War: From 2000 B.C. to the Present (1989). John Keegan, The Illustrated Face of Battle: A Study of Agincourt, Waterloo, and the Somme, rev. ed. (1989), is excellent on the tactics of three critical, widely separated battles; see also Arther Ferrill, The Origins of War: From the Stone Age to Alexander the Great (1985), which covers the period indicated while arguing that tactics underwent no basic change from the earliest time to Waterloo. The best book on tribal warfare remains Harry Holbert Turney-High, Primitive War: Its Practice and Concepts, 2nd ed. (1971). Biblical warfare is covered in Yigael Yadin, The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands: In the Light of Archaeological Study, 2 vol. (1963; originally published in Hebrew, 1963). On ancient warfare in general, see Peter Connolly, Greece and Rome at War (1981); and Victor Davis Hanson, The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece (1989). Of several excellent books on medieval warfare, J.F. Verbruggen, The Art of Warfare in Western Europe During the Middle Ages: From the Eighth Century to 1340 (1977; originally published in Dutch, 1954), is perhaps the strongest on tactics. The most expert contemporary work on early modern warfare is undoubtedly Geoffrey Parker, The Military Revolution: Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500–1800 (1988). The early 18th century is covered in David Chandler, The Art of Warfare in the Age of Marlborough (1976), excellently researched and well written. For subsequent developments in the same century, see Christopher Duffy, The Military Experience in the Age of Reason (1988); as well as Robert S. Quimby, The Background of Napoleonic Warfare: The Theory of Military Tactics in Eighteenth-Century France (1957, reprinted 1968), a meticulous inquiry into tactics before and during the French Revolution.
Larry H. Addington, The Patterns of War Since the Eighteenth Century (1984); and Hew Strachan, European Armies and the Conduct of War (1983), are good general accounts. Two older works that can still be read with profit are Theodore Ropp, War in the Modern World (1959, reprinted 1981); and J.F.C. Fuller, The Conduct of War, 1789–1961: A Study of the Impact of the French, Industrial, and Russian Revolutions on War and Its Conduct (1961, reprinted 1981). William McElwee, The Art of War: Waterloo to Mons (1974), is probably the best of many works on 19th-century warfare. For the tactics of World War I in general, see Tony Ashworth, Trench Warfare, 1914–1918: The Live and Let Live System (1980); on the offensive tactics developed by the Germans, Timothy T. Lupfer, The Dynamics of Doctrine: The Changes in German Tactical Doctrine During the First World War (1981), is excellent. For World War II, B.H. Liddell Hart, History of the Second World War (1971, reissued 1982), though flawed on some counts, remains the single most comprehensive operational history. On armoured warfare, see F.W. von Mellenthin, Panzer Battles: A Study of the Employment of Armor in the Second World War, trans. from German (1956, reissued 1982); and Charles Messenger, The Blitzkrieg Story (1976); for the ways of countering it, see John Weeks, Men Against Tanks: A History of Anti-Tank Warfare (1975). The story of the Korean War is ably told in Callum A. MacDonald, Korea, the War Before Vietnam (1987); that of the Arab-Israeli Wars, in Trevor N. Dupuy, Elusive Victory: The Arab-Israeli Wars, 1947–1974 (1978, reissued 1984). For the Vietnam War, see Andrew F. Krepinevich, Jr., The Army and Vietnam (1986). Michael Carver, War Since 1945 (1980, reissued 1990), provides an excellent general overview.

With the use of a neti pot and certain Young Living Essential oils, sinus infections can become a distant memory.
Rosemary and Melaleuca Alternifolia essential oils can be used in a saline solution for very effective nasal irrigation that clears and decongests sinuses. As recommended by Daniel Pénoël, MD, the saline solution is prepared as follows:
- 10 drops rosemary cineol
- 6 drops tea tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia)
- 8 tablespoons very fine salt
The essential oils are mixed thoroughly in the fine salt and stored in a sealed container. For each nasal irrigation session, 1 teaspoon of this salt mixture is dissolved into 1 ½ cups distilled water.
This oils/salt/water solution is then placed in the tank of an oral irrigator to irrigate the nasal cavities, which is done while bending over a sink. This application has brought surprisingly positive results in treating latent sinusitis and other nasal congestion problems.[1]
[1] Daniel Pénoël, MD, and Rose Marie, Natural Home Health Care Using Essential Oils, Essential Science Publishing, 1998, pp. 166-167
Rosemary essential oil 15 mL
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol) has a fresh, herbaceous, sweet, slightly medicinal aroma. An energizing oil, it may be beneficial for helping to restore mental alertness when experiencing fatigue.* It is also a popular ingredient in skin and hair care products. This oil should be diluted before use and is recommended for adult use only. Rosemary may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods while cooking. Rosemary has an approximate ORAC of 3,309 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter
How To Use: For dietary or topical use. When using as a supplement, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as soy or rice milk. Note: Possible skin sensitivity. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Dilution recommended for both topical and internal use. Dilute before using on sensitive areas such as the face, neck, genital area, etc. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use on children under 4 years of age.
Seven Suggestions for "Sinus Sufferers"
If you do these things individually they can be very helpful. If you do them all simultaneously they are sure to help.
–Eliminate Causative Foods. . .
. . .these are most often sugar, refined carbs, dairy (especially aged cheeses), and alcohol. Want to know the worst combo? Wine eaten with aged cheese and a sugary desert!
–Use a Neti Pot for Nasal Irrigation. . .
. . .this is a great way to give a little bath to the mucous membranes of the sinuses. Sinuses are dark moist environments made up of mucous membranes that can be a breeding ground for unwanted microbes. When there is an overgrowth of these germs, sinus problems and infections ensue.
–Humidify OR Dehumidify Your Environment. . .
. . .if you live in a dry environment and need more moisture, humidify your living space – and if humid and damp – which can breed fungus and mold, dehumidify.
–Get Rid of Mold in Your Environment. .
. . with the best product that has been researched and scientifically proven to be naturally effective against mold – Thieves Essential oil. Diffuse it.
–Keep Your House Free from Dust. . .
Diffusing your essential oils can help minimize particles and dust along with killing unwanted microbes in your environment.
–Inhale Essential Oils. . .
. . .the absolute best way to get rid of those pathogenic microbes (aka "the bad bugs"), that hang out in your nasal passages and sinuses. Doing this in conjunction with the Neti Pot is powerful! Great oils to use are peppermint, ravensara, R.C., and Raven (YL blends). (Use only therapeutic grade oils! – Young Living Essential Oils)
–Cleanse Your Colon. . .
People that have sinus problems are frequently dealing with constipation. If you are curious as to that connection, here are two reasons why:
–in Chinese Medicine breathing mechanisms and the colon go together (Lung and Large Intestine share the same meridian)
–Bernard Jensen (nutritionally oriented chiropractor who authored many books, and a proponent of colonics) taught that there were reflex points in the large intestine that related to the sinuses.
Don't want to do the mechanical colon cleanse (colonic or home enema)? The Cleansing Trio or 5 Day Nutritive Cleanse are great gentle cleanses from Young Living.
Essential Oil Tip: The Secret for Sinuses!
Learn about using this oil and don't let it be a secret any longer! This Young Living essential oil blend of Raven, R.C. and Peppermint is wonderful for sinuses. Inhale, diffuse, wear.
Raven™ is a combination of deeply soothing therapeutic grade essential oils that will provide comfort when applied topically to the chest and throat or diffused.
R.C.™ contains powerful therapeutic-grade essential oils that are invigorating when applied, especially to the chest and throat area. R.C. is a wonderful blend to diffuse during winter.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint's supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint's role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.

Scrotum the Puppy
The first great series to showcase on Newgrounds. Still a favorite!
Another Day
An experiment with a Wacom pad that evolved into much more.
I came across this song a little late in the game. Dark Materia produced it a few years ago. I wanted to make a video for it.
this wouldn't be half as funny....
if I hadn't just recently torrented the whole TNG series and watched all the episodes, not that I didn't see them in the 80s and 90s the first time.
This is DEFINITELY higher class than the data song. That one pissed me off. Clever ending too. I like how he winks.
I can tell you the "moving from topic to topic" line came from season 6 episode 25 "timescape", at 3 minutes 55 seconds into the episode, and "I'm not dressed properly" was from 6 minutes and 40 seconds into season 1 episode 12 "The Big Goodbye". I don't know where the other ones came from, but those 2 are certainly the best anyway so who cares about the others.
LMAO this is like one of my favorite ones on here.
"I'm, uh, not dressed properly."
How about doing the whole song?
I'd love to see what you'd come up with for the Borg part of the song. Then I'd give you ten stars.
On a side note, as a big time Data fan, I wish DM would make a Data song.
Fun song. o3o
