1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons
baking powder
1/2 cup
3/4 cup
white sugar
3/4 teaspoon
almond extract
1/3 cup
1 1/2 cups
fresh blueberries
1/3 cup
confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons
cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon
almond extract
I used butter instead of shortning, and I increased the cream cheese to 1 cup. I also added a crumb toping of:
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 cup flour
3/4 cup oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup marg
2 tblsp whipping cream
and just used my fingers to mix it till crumbly and sprinkled it over the top. Really good!
Not impressed with recipe. Too many other recipes out there that are great. Certainly did not taste like cheesecake. Edges crusty and rest cakelike...even used an airbake pan. Would not make again.

this was very good. i doubled the recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan and baked it 70 minutes. turned out wonderful. thankx
I tweaked this recipe a bit...I used 8oz of 1/3 less fat cream cheese, a pint of blueberries and vanilla instead of almond. More cheesecake like on top, cake-like on the bottom, like a pastry.
Excellent! I altered the recipe by using 3 eggs in the crust (instead of one) and using vanilla. For the topping, I only used 1 egg and 8 oz. of cream cheese. when I placed the blueberries, I sprinkled with cinammon and a little fresh grated nutmeg. This turned out beautifully and was so yummy.
These blueberry bars are great! I added a little bit more cream cheese (1/2 cup) as someone suggested and more blueberries. I highly recommend this recipe!
Wonder Flavor and really very easy to prepare -- it just takes a while to bake. Refridgeration really enhances the flavor
My family loved this recipe. The only thing I did different was to add a little sugar and cinnamon on top of the blueberries. There are not like bars, more of a coffee cake, but a great taste! YUM!

The only thing I had to buy for this was some black fabric paint (I had other colours but I wanted black!) and a sponge.
So, here goes...
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
Something for the screen
This needs to be a thin mesh. I used tights because that's what I had in the house.
Something to hold your screen
I used an embroidery hoop but you can use a wooden frame and staples
A design
Unless you're very good with a paint brush and thick paint, go for something simple!
Something to block the design with
You can use Mod Podge or PVA or special stuff but I used acrylic so I could see where it was
Mine were ones I bought in the pound shop
Fabric Paint
In the colour of your choice. You could probably use other paint but it might clog your screen up.
A sponge
It doesn't need to be duck shaped like mine, that's just what Wilkinson had...
Will screen printing ink work any better, or just as good as, the fabric paint?
I would say, after having done something similar myself, pretty much any novelty-shaped sponge would work. For some reason, normal-shaped ones just look at me blankly, their invisible, judging eyes imploring me to take them back and trade them in for something more fun...
(Great tute, btw :) )
I will definetly give this one a try!
As far as the actual screen goes, it seems to have worked pretty well so far, though I wonder if the first painting step could be skipped and the design traced onto the mesh with sharpie or something? The first level of paint didn't seem to do much for my mesh, and it worked better when I just picked it up and painted on it, rather than painting with it on the newspaper.
I haven't tried it that way, so it may not work, but just an idea?
Painting straight on to the mesh without the paper behind does leave a better layer and so save time but I had problems tracing the design on to the screen as it stretched and buckled too much and didn't leave an outline that I could see well enough, also a felt tip bleeds too much through the mesh. A sharpie might work but I didn't have any to hand!
Thanks for posting!
This is a truly good idea.. coz even my Bike Group Has T-Shirts, and getting it done from the professionals cost a Bomb. This will definitely give a personal touch and the rough and distressed look will go with the touring image we have. Thanks a Ton for this Instructable..
So simple, so BRILLIANT! I already have everything I need.
Love it :)
I've got the acrylic paint and my GF has a big embroidery hoop, so...
Thanks for the lovely, clear pics and instructions! :)

About Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport
Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (ISGIA) is one of two international airports serving Istanbul, Turkey. The airport was built to cope with booming passenger demand and is located 35km Southeast of central Istanbul.
In 2008, Malaysia Airports, together with its consortium partners Limak Group (LIMAK) and GMR Infrastructure Limited (GMR), signed an implementation agreement with the Turkish's Ministry of Defence and subsequently took over the operations of the ISGIA in May 2008. The concession tenure is for a period of 20 years.
It has a single runway (3,000m) and serves almost all major international airlines. It was designed to handle 25 million passengers per year. The airport was recognized for its fast traffic growth and honoured with the Airport Traffic Growth Award by ANNIE for 2 consecutive years in 2010 and 2011. It was also voted as the World's Best Airport at the World Low Cost Airlines Congress in London in 2010.
ISGIA is the world's largest seismically isolated building, meaning the building moves side-to-side during an earthquake. The whole building moves as a single unit, preventing damage from uneven forces acting on the structure.

As simple as that... Mix sending you all over the world each Thursday with different amazing trips! #FrequentFlierMiles
It is simply AMAZING to me hearing everyone EVERYWHERE I go in this town talking about the Royals.
I would be willing to wager that 1 out of 7 people I see has an article of Royals clothing on, whether it be a hat or shirt... and its so amazing to see.
And how about these two facts?
1. The Royals are now 100-62 over their last 162 games (going back to this date last year)
2. This is their BEST RECORD (50-33) since 1989. Simply amazing.
Or as my cats KC and Tippy would call the weather - purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect!!!!!!!!! :)
81 degrees and sunny on Saturday - and we'll be starting at 6 PM and going LITERALLY ALL NIGHT LONG at Cricket Wireless Ampitheater for Red, White & Boom Pop Music Festival 2015.
Flo Rida, Andy Grammer, Tech N9ne, Natalie La Rose, Rachel Platten........ I'd go on but it'd take 5 minutes to type the list and I might acquire carpal tunnel syndrome.
4 tickets for $60 - perfect weather - unforgettable night. You won't want to miss out.
CYA Saturday!!
Not quite sure what to make of the new Madonna video....
On one hand, she has a TON of star power, like Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Rita Ora and Beyonce...
On the other hand, it DOES seem like kind of an act of desperation to stay relevant... and I hate to say that, because Madonna is one of my favorite artists of all-time.
Check out the link and decide for yourself.
I DO like this song a lot... but again, I'm biased and love everything "Madge" releases.
Sometimes, blogs require words to invoke emotion.
However, I'm betting that just posting this picture will do the job.
Yes. This. Is. Really. Coming. Soon.
Click below to read more.
I get asked quite a bit:
"Hey... Are Rocket and Teresa a married couple?"
They are NOT... :) Although that is a great question and makes me laugh each time I think about it, based on how different they are...
but a KC news team IS married... more info. below from our friends at the Kansas City Star.
Wanna know how I know I'm getting old?
BOTH Jay Leno and now David Letterman are no longer on Late Night TV... it's honestly quite sad for me seeing people from my childhood "move on" with their lives.
We'll certainly take with us great memories and they won't be forgotten... after all, they were in our homes and lives for years.
With that said, I can't wait to watch Dave's last episode tonight... rumor has it Tina Fey, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and even PEYTON MANNING will make an appearance!!! Also, of course, the Foo Fighters.
Farewall Dave - thanks for the memories.
I was extremely saddened and angered after watching the below video of ESPN reporter/anchor Britt McHenry.
First of all, you should NEVER talk to a human being like that in 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999% of cases. If the person is a horrible criminal or has done awful awful things, then maybe you can excuse some of that... but a worker at a Tow Company who is just doing her job? Really? You're going to go off and berate her education, her job, her body, etc.? That is seriously beyond messed up. If I were ESPN, I would fire her, not put her on one week suspension. And I have a sneaking suspicion that is what will ultimately happen after the public continues it's outcry. I mean really... who can watch her from now on when she pops on TV? Not me.
This is a case of bullying in adults... and I think it's important we recognize that fact because YES, it typically occurs in kids but also, we see it in the work place and obviously, out and about in everyday life.
There is no place for bullying and I hope that Britt, ESPN and the rest of the world continues to learn that. This important issue needs to continue to be brought into the forefront and addressed.
Click below to watch the seriously messed up video.
I travel a decent amount and throughout the last six months, when I tell people I'm from KC, they always bring up the Royals.
Then, they'll usually ask how exciting it was being at the World Series last year and I'll tell them something more amazing than that happened:
This entire town was CAPTIVATED and came together.
And while I have always believed the Royals will make one more World Series with this current crop of players - in say, the next 3-4 years - I never expected to see this town just as GIDDY right off the bat in 2015.
But a 7-0 start will do that for you and that's where KC sits. The best part about this group, and its fanbase/city, is that we are ALL sick of not being taken seriously and we ALL have a chip on our shoulder. That is going to make this summer so much fun to go through, in my opinion, just knowing that we are underappreciated and undervalued.
The next question becomes - how long can we ride out this win streak/undefeated string as the only team in MLB?
Who knows.. but one thing is for sure - this town has once again become #ForeverRoyal
I simply cannot express how excited I am for Royals baseball to FINALLY be back!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's not much better in life than driving by Kauffman Stadium on a summer night and seeing it all lit up... seeing the fans come together... seeing the guys play for the city and thinking of the guys and days of years gone by... a storm coming through once in awhile to announce that it's summer... completely random strangers sitting in the crowd and hi-fiving/hugging each other....
There is no better sport than major league baseball... and there is nothing better about this city than summer nights at The K...
A lot of upset people as Zayn officially has left One Direction to live a "more normal life," which I can respect.
Zane is 22 and apparently, if you believe rumors, has been having difficulties with the "rock star lifestyle" while being engagaged. Some believe he is making certain he mends his relationship and putting it first.
I LOVE this decision - it says a lot about his character. He's had a taste of fame and now, can experience a more normal life with routine.
This WILL NOT affect One D's show in KC on 7/28 at Arrowhead - it'll still go on as planned - as Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis will continue One D as a four-piece group.
Hopefully you've had a chance to see this by now on social media - the "Paris of the Plains" video that a local KC photographer named Tim Lair produced over the span of a year in promoting Kansas City.
You have to click and watch for yourself - its beautiful, and contains music from another local Kansas Citian, Zane Callister.
Enjoy - will make you have even more pride about living in this amazing city!
As I'm sure you know, I'm as big of a Royals supproter as there is in existance! Ever since I was a kid, they were a HUGE part of my life, even though I didn't even grow up around here. My goal was always to end up at Mix 93.3 mainly (honestly) because the Royals were here and I wanted season tickets while working for a great radio station! Both dreams have come into fruition and I still pinch myself some days.
Anyway, a HUGE part of why I'm such a beloved Royals fan is because of one man... Mike Sweeney... who got elected into the Royals Hall of Fame, as announced today!!! I couldn't be more excited for a man that I've gotten to know pretty well over the last several years and a man that is the classic example of "I wish my daughter could marry a man like that."
Not only was Sweeney a great baseball player but he cares about people more than anyone I've ever met.. He lights up a room when he walks in and gives me (and thousands of others) hope that there is still greatness in this world. He's a man of great faith, ethics and morals.
Thank you Sween Dogg for being one of my role models since high school, when I first met you in Omaha, and CONGRATULATIONS on a well deserved honor. You did and continue to do this city right.

I'm a lucky man in the month of February, as I just returned from the Hot Tub Time Machine 2 World Premiere and now, I leave for Las Vegas this weekend for the annual "trip with the boys."
I'll be meeting my buds Dustin and Austin from college out in Vegas and plan on taking that city down "Ocean's 19" style for $8.7 million on college basketball betting. Not quite sure how I'm going to turn the $900 I'm taking out for gambling into $8.7 million but I'll figure that out when I arrive.
Speaking of which, I will be needing an armored car driver to drive my winnings back to KC. Volunteers?
Who are we kidding... I'll talk to you again Monday, when I'm STILL broke as a joke :)
-Dave O
Yes, there is now "proof" that "settling" for somebody in a relationship is just as effective for long-term happiness as "waiting for the right one."
If "Royals Fever" was a diagnosable disease... I would be in intensive care.
And the only treatment for it is the 2015 season finally getting here... and its not too far now, with ROYALS FANFEST RETURNING THIS WEEKEND at Bartle Hall!!!
Essentially, FanFest kicks off the 2015 season, as pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in just three weeks. So once FanFest is over, its time to start realistically talking about the new season and putting the amazing 2014 season in our memory bank.
If you've ever been to FanFest, there's no doubt you're coming back... its amazing. If not, here's what it is:
-Royals player autographs (past and present)
-Stage presentations with Royals player Q&A's
-Prize giveaways
-Newest Royals merchandise and game used items for sale
-Tons and tons of exhibits and games/fun for the whole family
-And once again, I'll be broadcasting live.
Come see me Friday and CAN'T WAIT for this!!!
This guy nearly learned the hard way that losing your surroundings due to texting can be fatal, whether you're texting while driving or in this case.... walking down your drive way.
Suburban L.A., morning commute, this gentleman is texting, and has NO IDEA what he's about to encounter... luckily, he averts the near disaster by running away from the Black Bear (though in retrospect, you are NOT supposed to run when you come across one).
The whole thing was captured by an L.A. TV station from their traffic helicopter. Uh-Mazing!
How about that Mariah Carey, one upping Britney Spears with a residency at Caesers Palace!
Mariah will get over $475,000 per concert (reportedly) at her Caeser's residence, though she might want to make sure she doesn't get stiffed by the huge hotel, which is currently in the process of potentially filing bankruptcy... they owe Robert Deniro, Gordon Ramsay and many others a BOATLOAD of money.
Amazing how a hotel can potentially go bankrupt and at the same time, dole out this kind of money to someone... I'm in the wrong biz!
Anyway, I look forward to hopefully seeing this show. I would LOVE to hear Mariah sing some of my favorites live, like "We Belong Together," "Hero," "Don't Forget About Us" and "Butterfly."
Imagine you have a wedding in mid-December of 2014, Los Angeles, when RANDOMLY, a whole crew of producers rush your reception, put up video equipment and BAM, Maroon 5 shows up and literally CRASHES YOUR WEDDING!!!
That's what the band did a few weeks ago when they teamed up with their old friend David Dobkin, who just happened to also direct a movie you might have heard of... "Wedding Crashers."
The band did so for their new video "Sugar," which debuts this Saturday.
Check out the full story below - HOW COOL IS THIS?!???! Can you imagine?
If you're younger than J-Lo... you're in luck, because she tells People that she has "no issue whatsoever dating younger men."
We discussed on the 5 O'Clock Soundoff today and surprisingly, it was 50-50 split down the middle. I figured most women would OPPOSE J-Lo's view but no...
Just more bad news for me in having my latest Birthday last week :( :(
I am a bit late to the party but wanted to share the amazing and heartfelt story of Raju the Elephant with you, just in case you also didn't hear about this.
Earlier this year, it was ruled that Raju would remain safe and sound, far away from his owner that for FIFTY YEARS, chained him up as a SLAVE, using his body for various things and hardly feeding him. He was abused and tortured. Every. Single. Day. For FIFTY YEARS.
This completely tears my heart apart and makes me feel so angry and sad, but also thankful that Raju had a group who was willing to break in and perform a daring rescue to save him.
Watch his story and learn about Raju below, as well as other ways you can help both him and other innocent animals.
Thanks for watching this - means a lot to me.

We are excited and humbled to once again have the opportunity to work with the GREAT people with Children's Miracle Network and KU Med for the "Mix For Kids Radio-Thon!"
As always, we celebrate these great hospitals and programs, and the lives that they've touched, both today, in the past and the future. There have been tragic stories, yes - WAY TOO MANY. But there have also been AWESOME SUCCESS STORIES too. And in all of the cases, no matter the outcome, each parent, family and child seems to genuinely feel grateful for the outstanding medical coverage and compassionate care that we have in KC. As I talk to many of these parents day after day, year after year, they move to KC expressely for the medical care. These hospitals are a true "feather in our cap" and that's why we look forward to working with you to help raise money and continue to provide them for the kids and families they help. Bad hands are dealt at an alarming rate, but they do all they can to turn problems into positive solutions. And that makes me very comforted knowing we're helping to support that and recognize that.
Enjoy the Radio-Thon the next two days on Mix and please help a Kansas City child and pleding $$$/becoming a Miracle Maker at 888-499-KIDS.
Thank you for your time and for your help.

Since I likely won't speak with you again until next week, I just wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
This is a Holiday that is probably overlooked more than it should be. I think we as human beings have it in our nature to only dwell on the things we DON'T HAVE or the things that we feel are WRONG in our lives, rather than ENJOYING what we DO have.
BTW, sorry to be "that guy" capitalizing random words for emphasis. :)
But seriously... I challenge you to sit back and reflect this Thanksgiving and even this Holiday season about all of the things you DO have to be thankful for. I bet there are way more than you realize.
Now that that's said, enjoy this "Three F Holiday" - FAMILY, FOOD and FOOTBALL!!!!
Oh and Go Chiefs, too :)
-Dave O
This is so wrong and so stupid that its hilarious.
A couple was in the resort town of "Blackpool" in England when they left a review of a horrible hotel they had been staying in on TripAdvisor.
It turns out, they used the phrase "dirty and rotten" and the hotel caught wind of it and............ FINED THEM $160!!!!
HAHHAHAH. How can a hotel FINE YOU for leaving a review of subpar service and circumstances?
Apparently local authorities are making them give the money back and change the rule, but I found it quite funny.
That got the conversation started today on the 5 O Clock Sound Off - whats the worst hotel experience you ever had? Some great calls.
Thanks for all your feedback and remember to be careful next time what kind of review you post about the shady hotel you're staying in. ;)
The United States Postal Service continues to cut by the day, making it more and more likely that within a few years, mail will only be delivered a few times a day and in a decade, perhaps it won't even exist other than packages, certified mail, etc. via places like UPS or Fed Ex.
I am actually pretty sad about this... The USPS announced that they're getting rid of 82 more postal centers throughout the country, as well as more and more branches. That's loss of jobs and less efficiency with mail delivery.
I'm pretty new aged in everything I do - I've full embraced technology in 2014 and have about every gizmo you could need.
But there's something sweet and sentimental about hand written letters... about going to the end of your drive way to get the mail... about middle aged delivery men who used to wear striped tube socks up their knees... :) I will miss the postal service as it continues to dwindle away... just think how good of a deal it is - you can mail a freaking letter, ANYWHERE in the U.S., for around 50 cents. Do you realize how good of a deal that is? it's still the lowest among major countries.
Think how much it would cost you to do it on your own, and all of a sudden the postal service becomes a great deal.
Now don't mind me... I'm off to pick up the milk that my milkman left by my front door. I'll send this telegram on its way.
I wanted to congratulate both Royals left fielder Alex Gordon & Royals General Manager Dayton Moore on being the two awarded the honor of flipping the Plaza Lights in 2014, on Thanksgiving night!
Both are extremely deserving and hard working, humbled, good human beings.
In the case of Alex, I went to high school with his wife and have gotten the pleasure of getting to know the family pretty well. Couldn't be better people representing our city, both on and off the field.
Who else CANT WAIT to see the below lights again?!?!? #Beautiful
The below message pretty much sums up exactly what I want to say to ALL of the men and women who have served our great country.
You have made us what we are and given us our freedoms and liberties.
-Dave O
I'm headed down to broadcast live and hang out with you tonight at The Edge Of Hell, right under the 12th street bridge in the West Bottoms! I'll be there with Ponch, whose marrying 40 couples!!
The Edge Of Hell is one of the BEST Haunted Houses in America (seriously, its on a whole bunch of Top 5 lists).
Come down and have an unforgettable Halloween with us!
This month has been ALL about the #Royals in KC - I can't tell you how amazing this is to be a part of... I guess I don't have to, since you are living it up, too!
Seriously... everywhere I go... even people that have NO CLUE that I'm obsessed with the Royals... All they talk about is them... my frineds across the country telling me they're now Royals fans... your calls... social media posts... this town has a one track mind and I LOVE IT.
Let's get this thing going tonight in World Serise Game #1 with a "W!"
Kind of sad story.
Remember Jesse Helt, the guy that Miley Cyrus brought on stage at the VMA's?
Because of that, he's in big trouble.
See below :(
I am like a little kid... on Christmas.... with loads of sugar... and presents!!!!!
The ROYALS are THE STORY of national baseball writers, as they square off with Detroit this weekend at "The K." All three games are sold out - all three are on national TV - and if KC wins 2, they'll be tied for first place with 7 games to go. Win all 3? Be two games ahead with 7 to go!!
The stakes couldn't be any higher, and neither could my blood pressure. :)
My alarm clock went off around 9:30 AM on 9/11/2001. I was a junior at the University of Nebraska and was waking up for class. Before I even knew what was going on, I could tell something was HORRIBLY WRONG from the morning show on the radio station I worked for. They were in all news coverage and there was somberness out of them that I'd never heard.
Within 5 minutes, I pieced together what had happened - it was difficult, because at that time, terrorism was something that we saw in the movies, for the most part, and not on American Soil. At least not to that level.
Even 13 years later, I can't comprehend what happened that day. It's so impossible to grasp how there can be so much evil in the world and how that evil can feel that they are allowed to end innocent lives of so many and besides that, destroy families. It's so, so sad. So, so senseless. And so, so hard to believe. It's a tragedy that will NEVER fade in the hearts of Americans and so many people of different cultures and continents around the world. WE WILL NEVER FORGET. We will STAND TOGETHER.
On this day, I think of those we lost that day... there parents... wives.... husbands.... children..... friends.... co-workers.... and I say a prayer but more than that, SEND STRENGTH to everyone involved.
And really, we are ALL involved. We are in this together.
We will NEVER stop hurting.
We will NEVER quit standing together.
We will NEVER forget.
I am honored, humbled and excited to be one of the emcees for tomorrow mornings (Thursday 8/27) "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" Kick-off Breakfast. For the second straight year, myself and Carolyn Long from KCTV5 will be doing our small part in helping to attack the horrible disease of breast cancer. It affects all of us, either directly or indirectly, and this is a very powerful cause that I'm very passionate in helping out.
If you're there tomorrow, can't wait to see you!
If not, keep it on Mix and/or check out the American Cancer Society to see how you to can help "make it a year with more Birthdays" for all of those affected by these horrible disease.
Guess whose on the COVER of Sports Illustrated this wee? OUR ROYALS and BILLY BUTLER!!! I am on cloud nine right now, but I'm a bit worried... will this lead to an #SiCoverJinx?
NO... because we're a team of destiny.
Go pick it up and tell conspiracy theorists to get lost!!! t :)
I enjoyed having lunch today (Thursday 8/14) at the Dairy Queen in Lee's Summit on "Miracle Treat Day!"
Hopefully you can do the same as you head home from work - have a blizzard, HELP THE KIDS!!!
And this isn't just at the Lee's Summit DQ, it's all over the metro.
That's right, its the annual Dairy Queen fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network, where a portion of each blizzard at participating DQ locations goes to support CMN hospitals, including KU Med Pediatric.
So eat ice cream, help the kids!!!
We plan it... we talk about... and finally... its arrived!

There's good and bad news with Hillary Duff.
First, the bad news, as she is splitting up with her husband, which obviously has her in a difficult place in life (read below).
The good news is, it's inspired her to do an album - her first since 2007! Hard to believe it's been seven years.
I have met Hillary a couple of times and she was always very gracious, sweet and down to earth. I believe she married for all of the right reasons and does most things in her life the same way - I truly do wish her the best and admire her!
Can't wait to hear the new album.
Wow............... Just wow.............
I'll see this movie but the trailer kind of creeps me out... I didn't read the books - VERY interesting choices for the actors... Kind of went with the "non-a or B list" route.
YOUR thoughts???
Watch the trailer below.
The linked video will likely make you smile, laugh and cry.
A poor bride-to-be saw her Dad tragically pass away six months before her wedding day. So the question became not only HOW she would get through the tough time but also, who would walk her down the aisle?
As it turned out, it was her favoite college team's mascot. Watch below!
This might be the coolest music video I've seen in a long time. Love the positive message that this video portrays and the (at times) funny dancing!
Check it out - the most requested song on my show the last few days - "All That Bass" from Meghan Trainor.
Tomorrow night, don't forget - The Bachelor is doing the Casting Call here in KC!!!
5 PM - 9 PM (Thursday) at Visions KC, located on the lower of the Marriott in Briarcliff.
Good luck and have fun!!!
... You betcha!
Who would have ever thunk that our 29th president would be such a hopeless romantic?
He wrote love letters to his mistress, a woman named Carrie, back in 1910. They were just released. Check out the link below to read.
What a pimp!!!
Are you a man who wants to be the next "Bachelor?"
Are you a woman who wants to be pursued by the next "Bachelor?"
Well, you are in luck, thanks to Mix and The Bachelor teaming up for "The Bachelor Casting Call" here in KC on July 10th at the Courtyard By Marriot at Briarcliff from 5-9 PM!
And how about this? I have front of the line VIP passes all week, for you to arrive, go to the front and get in quicker to see the directors.
Keep it on Mix to win.
In the meantime, check out this recent (slightly) alarming interview with former contestant Courtney Robertson!!! #Scandelous
Just announced - July 21st at UMKC.
Way more to come on Mix - but the only question left is:
Which song will YOU sing at the audition?!??!
The Monarch Hot Dog - over at the Negro League's Museum.
Looks delicious as heck - (see below photo.... and if you aren't already running away from the Internet to drive to the museum, click to read the article)!
Some facts about this winning streak for you to impress your friends or co-workers with:
-The Royals have won double digit games in a row for the first time since 1994.
-In 1994, they won 14 in a row.
-This is the latest in a year that the Royals have been in first place since 2003.
-They were last in first place on this date in............... 1980!!!
Translation: we are on fire and we are the best.

Ever wondered what Mark Webber eats for breakfast? The Australian Grand Prix Corporation is showcasing just that in an amazing Formula One interactive public exhibition taking the form of a giant helmet.
Presented by the City of Melbourne, the enormous specially formulated race helmet will be on display in a series of public exhibitions around Melbourne in February and March free of charge for all to explore.
The helmet's unique design provides locals, visitors, school children, and motorsport enthusiasts with a first-hand and educational insight into just what it takes physically and mentally to race an F1 car, the innovation behind F1 technology, the evolution of the sport and its long heritage.
"This truly innovative and interactive educational tool provides an engaging insight into the exciting world of Formula One for all ages to enjoy," said Andrew Westacott, acting Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation.

The structure is fitted with state of the art television screens including 3-D technology and showcases F1 team memorabilia, educational components and interesting facts about the amazing international sport that is Formula 1™.
Amid the exciting memorabilia on display are Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel's driving suits from the 2010 season, Australian F1 legend Alan Jones' original racing helmet and the Australian Grand Prix trophy.
Former F1 World Champion Alan Jones, in town today for the official helmet opening in City Square, is proud to be involved with the educational initiative.
"Formula One is a fascinating sport and the giant helmet gives the community a chance to understand and experience its inner workings in a fun and stimulating way," he said.
The structure also looks at a day in the life of Aussie champion Mark Webber highlighting his gruelling fitness regime and team activities on a race weekend, as well as a historical timeline of how the sport has evolved through the years.
The customised helmet will be exhibited over a four week period in and around Melbourne.

Recipe by Laria Tabul
"This recipe makes 17- 3 inch sandwich cookies and 17 - 1 1/2 inch heart shaped cookies. You'll need a 3-inch heart shaped cutter and a 1 1/2-inch heart shaped cutter. Frost with Pink Valentine Frosting (see recipe)."

1 cup
1 1/2 cups
confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
almond extract
2 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
cream of tartar
I made over 400 Valentine Sandwich cookies for my dessert business clients this year using this recipe. I personally don't like crisp/cut-out sugar cookies, but everyone went NUTS over these cookies. My niece has me make them for softball games, parties, etc.--she loves them. After making so many of these, I can offer a few suggestions: (1) refrigerate dough for 2-3 hours (I made over 30 batches of dough & often let it refrigerate overnight). I always put the dough back in the refrigerator between batches. (2) I used 2 tsp of vanilla & eliminated the almond extract. (2) When I rolled out the dough, I used confectioners' sugar (10X) NOT flour--I even re-used previously roll-out dough without any problems. The confectioners' sugar gives the cookie a little extra flakiness. (3) I sprinkled colored sugar on the cookie with the cut-out section before baking-the colored sugar looks nice with the contrast of the frosting coming through the cut-out. (4) I baked the cookies on Silpat, but parchment would work too. (5)I used a different frosting: 2 cups confectioners' sugar (10X), 3/4 tsp vanilla and 4-6 tbsp half & half or whole milk, plus food coloring. The frosting was always a big hit. (6) I individually bagged the cookies in cellophane cookie bags & everyone commented on how freshed they stayed. I will be using this recipe for St. Patrick's with shamrock cookie cutters; green sugar & green frosting! Thanks for the recipe!
I was very dissapointed with this recipe. I followed it exactly, and used confectioner's sugar instead of flour to roll it out. The dough was absolutely delectable, but the finished cookie didn't have a great taste, was very brittle, and spread a lot during baking, making the cutout tops unusable because the shapes were all messed up and didn't look like hearts anymore at all. I much prefer the Best Rolled Sugar Cookies recipe from this site which I made at Christmas, they cut out beautifully and retained their shape while cooking, also have a better taste and not such a crispy/brittle texture.
138 Ratings
I consider myself a cookie connoisseur, and this recipe is fabulous! There is no need to refrigerate the dough if you roll it between two pieces of parchment paper. I've had great success using different flavourings in the icing, such as raspberry, amaretto, irish cream, etc., instead of vanilla. I've also used cream instead of water to make the icing. You can be really creative with using different coloured icings and various cookie cutter shapes. Any time I've brought these cookies to a baby shower or wedding shower, they have been raved about. Soon, I plan on using a palm tree shaped cutter with pina colada flavoured icing for my next beach theme wedding shower. Can't wait to bake again!
As far as cookies go, I prefer drop cookies (much easier!) but for quick cutouts, these worked rather well. The frosting / sandwiching took a while for me, but that's my own doing, not the recipe's fault. I second the warning to put space between the cookies if you make them 1/4" thick, because they will poof up and out a bit and will stick together. Strong recommendation is to place dough between parchment paper for rolling, and then it's easy to simply cut out the shapes, pull off the excess, and move the parchment paper onto the cookie sheet.
This recipe is absolutely DELICIOUS!! I did make a few changes. I used lemon extract in place of the almond extract. I also used seedless raspberry jam to sandwich the cookies together and dusted the tops with powdered sugar. Everyone raves about these cookies. My kids can't wait for me to make them. Since it's Valentines day, I'm going to get busy right now. Thanks!
Delicious cookies - very light and buttery. The dough isn't as easy to work with as I thought is would be. That is until I got the hang of it by rolling between two pieces of lightly floured wax paper and putting it into the freezer - then doing the cut outs. I baked it on parchment paper and did sandwich cookies with seedless strawberry jam then gave the cookies a nice sprinkle of powdered sugar.
I have been searching for a while now for a cookie that my mum use to make for me to bring to school for valentines day. To make the cookie more like hers, I omitted the icing and used seedless raspberry jam and then afterwards drizzled have of them with white chocolate. I'm not sure if anyone else has suggested this....but instead of trying to fight to get the cookies up and keeping there shape, roll the dough out on parchment paper...cut...remove excess dough then put in the oven on a cookie sheet! Definelty will be making again!
Very easy to make and the taste is great. But be sure to place cookie at least 1 inch away from each other, they really "grow" during baking.

ETSU upsets Alabama in opening round of Callaway Match Play
Requires Adobe Flash
Sunday, March 20, 2011
The Bucs move on to the winner's bracket to take on 10
-seeded Duke
BALL GROUND, Ga. (Mar. 20, 2011)
- The 15th-seeded ETSU men's golf team took three out of the five matches to upset No. 2-seeded Alabama, 3-2, Sunday afternoon in the opening round of the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship.
ETSU freshman
Lucas Armstrong
(Church Hill, Tenn.) got the Bucs off to a strong start after defeating Scott Strohmeyer, 4 and 3. Armstrong never trailed at any point during the match and led for 13 of the 15 holes played.
Just a little while later, sophomore
Patrick Spraggs
(Rochford, England) knocked off Trey Mullinax, 4 and 2. Just like Armstrong, Spraggs never trailed at any point during the match.
With the Bucs needing just one more win to clinch the match, Alabama picked up a win as Cory Whitsett defeated
Spencer Lawson
(Raleigh, N.C.), 4 and 2, to cut the ETSU lead. With Bud Cauley taking a late lead against ETSU's
Paul O'Kane
(Castledawson, Northern Ireland), the match eventually came down to the contest between
Devin Komline
(Dorset, Vermont) and Hunter Hamrick. Komline was in control for much of the match as he led through the first 11-holes. However, Hamrick bounced back to tie the match up with just five to play. Then, Komline won two out of the next three holes to earn the 2 and 1 victory, and clinch the match for the Bucs.
The match turned out to be the deciding match because Cauley came from behind to defeat O'Kane, 3 and 1.
The event is comprised of four rounds of match play between teams, similar to the Final Eight of the NCAA Championship. Each team match includes individual matches between each of the five players, and the winner of each individual match scores a point for his team.
Georgia Tech is the host school and is joined by USC, Alabama, Baylor, Duke, ETSU, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Pacific, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA and Washington State. Georgia (2005) and UCLA (2007) are past winners of the event while 2010 runner-up USC leads a contingent of five teams (Iowa, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA) returning from last year's tournament.
Live results of the event will be available at Golfstat.com. The Bucs and and Blue Devils will meet later on in the afternoon in round two action.

Older brother Chubby (Paul Sorvino) is a combative, booze-swilling, rough-edged construction worker, following in the footsteps of his brother Tommy (Tony Lo Bianco). Macho in the extreme, these fellows have no time for the sensitive moral quandaries which are at the heart of the two younger brothers' lives. Stony (Richard Gere), has worked with his father in the construction business, but longs to work with children. Albert (Michael Hershewe), the youngest, is a sensitive lad, the butt of his father and oldest brother's rough manner, and is constantly being harassed by his stressed-out mother (Lelia Goldoni). After a few attempts to communicate with his insensitive older brother and his parents, Stony must decide for himself if the rejection he will experience from his family on leaving the construction business is worth it; and if it is, what can be done to protect his younger brother from the rest of the family? ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 30, 2010) - The ETSU men's soccer team rolled to a 4-0 win over Campbell in the Atlantic Sun opener Thursday night at Summers-Taylor Stadium as the Bucs are on a four-game win streak.
"This is an important result for us tonight," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "Campbell was the conference regular season champions last year. They are a talented and well organized team, and it required a strong team effort to get the result. I believe that our team is continuing to improve and grow in confidence."
With the win, the Bucs (6-2-0, 1-0-0 A-Sun) finally were able to win their conference opener for the first time in three years as they outshot Campbell (2-3-3, 0-1-0 A-Sun) 18-10 in the match. ETSU put nine of the 18 shots on target, while the Camels only had four come on frame. The Buccaneers also had a 5-4 advantage in corners.
Sophomore keeper Ronnie Hreha (Asheville, Tenn.) improved to 3-1-0 on the season as he picked up his first shutout of the year. Hreha had four saved in the contest.
Senior Guilherme Reis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) gave ETSU a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute as he bent his free kick from just outside the 18-yard box past Campbell's Ryan Amons.
In the 51st minute, Amons made an incredible save on a header by freshman Itode Fubara (Ogbema, Nigeria) to keep the Camels within a goal, but Fubara would not be denied a goal in the 66th minute as he and freshman David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.) worked a perfect give-and-go in the penalty area to give Fubara a wide open shot. Fubara then buried the shot in the back of the next to increase the Buccaneer lead to 2-0.
The Bucs began to pour it on in the 84th minute when defender Jaron Westbrook (Round Rock, Texas) found a streaking David Haba (Germantown, Tenn.) for a breakaway goal to extend the ETSU advantage to 3-0.
Geno closed out the scoring in the 90th minute as he settled a giveaway from the Camels defense and beat Amons playing the ball on the ground past the keeper to make the final 4-0 ETSU.
"During these conference weekends we can't afford to take much time to enjoy the result," Calabrese said. "We face a very strong challenge in Mercer come Saturday. We want to continue to get results at home, and so we must be ready for a very different challenge from the one we faced tonight."
The Bucs are back in action on Saturday at 7 p.m. as they close out a five-game homestand against Mercer. For more information on ETSU men's soccer and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Climate change is arguably the most significant conservation challenge we face today. Global warming threatens the integrity of marine and terrestrial habitats and interrupts natural cycles such as migration and hibernation. WCS works across the globe to combat the effects of climate change on wildlife and wild places. Our wide-reaching studies of this worldwide phenomenon inform decisions by the scientific community and policymakers, as well as local organizations. Our conservationists work on the ground with communities that depend on natural resources to help them find mutually-beneficial solutions to relieve the stress on fragile ecosystems. We also work closely with governments and corporations to reduce and offset carbon emissions. Protecting the world's remaining forests from destruction is an important tool for stemming the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change affects life in every biome, from the apex of the Arctic food chain to the tropical sea floor. The tiny creatures that are the building blocks of coral reefs are particularly vulnerable to rising ocean temperatures.
In collaboration with the government of Madagascar, WCS's Makira REDD+ Project will help finance the long-term conservation of one of Madagascar's most pristine remaining rainforests, home to rare and threatened biodiversity. It will also help enhance the economic wellbeing of neighboring communities.
Marine mammals contend with new industrial developments in the Arctic as local waters become increasingly ice-free during the summer and fall.
WCS Ecologist Jerry Jenkins, who has spent more than four decades studying the environment of the Adirondacks, documents the impacts of climate change on the region's wildlife, habitats, and communities.
A new study says that banning certain types of fishing gear can help save coral reefs from the damaging effects of climate change, by protecting key fish populations that help stressed reefs recover.
A combination of improved management and natural regeneration is helping corals stage a rapid comeback in Indonesia following the December 2004 tsunami.
A WCS study finds that the prospects of coral reefs in the age of climate change have improved. Reefs living in sites with variable temperatures are better able to survive warm water.

Lorentz National Park
Lorentz National Park
Lorentz National Park (2.35 million ha) is the largest protected area in South-East Asia. It is the only protected area in the world to incorporate a continuous, intact transect from snowcap to tropical marine environment, including extensive lowland wetlands. Located at the meeting-point of two colliding continental plates, the area has a complex geology with ongoing mountain formation as well as major sculpting by glaciation. The area also contains fossil sites which provide evidence of the evolution of life on New Guinea, a high level of endemism and the highest level of biodiversity in the region.

Национальный парк Лоренц
Национальный парк Лоренц (2,5 млн. га) – одна из самых крупных охраняемых природных территорий во всей Юго-Восточной Азии. Это уникальный резерват, в котором представлен полный спектр различных высотных поясов, сменяющих один другой: от горных заснеженных вершин до обширных прибрежных мангровых зарослей и акватории тропического моря. Так как эта местность располагается на стыке двух геологических платформ, здесь продолжаются процессы горообразования, равно как и гляциологические процессы. Также обнаружены окаменелости, по которым можно судить о ходе эволюции жизни на Новой Гвинее – острове, который отличается высочайшим уровнем эндемизма и биоразнообразия.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Lorentz National Park is located in Indonesia's Papua Province, along the 'Pegunungan Mandala' range, whose Puncak Cartenz (4884 m asl) is the highest peak in Southeast Asia. The property covers an area of 2.35 million hectares, making it the largest conservation area in Southeast Asia and stretches for over 150 km from Irian Jaya's central cordillera mountains in the north to the Arafura Sea in the south.
Designated as a National Park in 1997 under Decree of the Minister of Forestry the property contains an outstanding range of ecosystems, representative of the high level of biodiversity found across the region. It is one of only three tropical regions in the world that have glaciers and its mosaic of land systems ranges from snow-capped mountain peaks to extensive lowland wetlands and coastal areas. The property also contains fossil sites, a high level of endemism and the richest biodiversity in the region.
Thirty-four vegetation types and 29 land systems have been identified within the property along with some 123 recorded mammal species, representing 80% of the total mammalian fauna of Irian Jaya. Mammals recorded include two of the world's three monotremes; the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijinii) a New Guinea endemic. In addition it is also home to a large number of restricted range (45) and endemic (9) bird species. The property has remarkable, cultural diversity, with seven ethnic groups, maintaining their traditional lifestyles. The highland, communities include the Amungme (Damal), Dani Barat, Dani Lembah Baliem, Moni and Nduga, whereas in the lowlands there are Asmat, Kamoro and Sempan.
Criterion (viii): The geology and landforms of Lorentz National Park display graphic evidence of earths' history. Located at the meeting point of two colliding continental plates, the area has a complex geology with ongoing mountain formation as well as major sculpting by glaciation and shoreline accretion. The dominating mountain range is a direct product of the collision between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates and the property contains the highest points of the mountains of Papua New Guinea and the only remaining glaciers on the island. There is also clear evidence of post glacial shorelines.
Graphically illustrating the geomorphological effect of the last glacial and post-glacial periods, the mountains show all the classical glacial landforms including lakes and moraines. Furthermore, there are five small remnant glaciers. While all five glaciers are retreating rapidly under present climatic conditions, no other tropical glacier fields in the world exhibit glacial evolution as well as those in Lorentz National Park. There is also no better example in the world of the combined effect of collision of tectonic plates and the secondary major sculpting by glacial and post-glacial events.
Criterion (ix): Lorentz National Park is the only protected area in the world that incorporates a continous ecological transect from snow capped mountain peaks to a tropical marine environment, including extensive lowland wetlands. The geophysical processes and high rainfall found along this transect are consistent with the development of significant on-going ecological processes as is the division of the property into two distinct zones: the swampy lowlands and the high mountain area of the central cordillera. The climatic gradient, the greatest throughout the island of New Guinea and the entire Australian tectonic region, extends from nival zones and glaciers to lowland equatorial zones with an associated extreme range of faunal and floral species and communities.
Lorentz National Park provides evidence of highly developed endemism in both plants and animals, especially for the higher altitudes of the mountains, as expected in a region combining on-going uplift and climatic warming.
Criterion (x): The mountain building processes that have occurred over time have provided temperate refuges in the tropics for ancient Gondwanan plant species during the climatic warming that has occurred since the last ice age. For example, Lorentz National Park's Nothofagus beech forests are well represented, although their closest relatives are otherwise confined to the cool temperate regions of south-eastern Australia, New Zealand and the southern Andes. The property is more than just the habitat for many rare, endemic and restricted range species. Its large size and exceptional natural integrity makes it especially important for their on-going evolution as well as thier long term conservation.
The refugial effect or local genetic evolution, or both, are manifest as locally endemic species or restricted range species. Much of the rich biota of Lorentz National Park is new or of special interest to science. A number of mammal species, including recent discoveries like the Dingiso tree kangaroo (Dendrolagus mbaiso) discovered in 1994, have evolved to utilize the specialized habitats within the property.
The property covers substantial areas of two identified Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) with a total of 45 restricted range birds and nine endemic species. Two of the restricted range bird species, Archbold's bowerbird (Archboldia papuensis), and MacGregor's bird-of-paradise (Macgregoria pulchra), are considered rare and vulnerable. Mammals recorded within the property include two of the world's three monotremes; the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijinii) a New Guinea endemic. Lorentz National Park will become increasingly important for long term conservation of the species already recorded and the many that remain to be discovered.
One of the outstanding features of the property is its large size, stretching for over 150 km from Irian Jaya's central cordillera mountains in the north to the Arafura Sea in the south and covering 2.5 million ha, it is the largest protected area in Southeast Asia, making it a globally significant large tract of intact tropical forest. It is the only protected area in the world that incorporates a continous ecological transect from snow capped mountains to a tropical marine environment, including extensive lowland wetlands and protecting a complex of river catchments that extend from the tropical ice-cap to the tropical sea. The extensive size of the property is one of the guarantees ensuring the integrity of the habitats it hosts, ranging from glaciers, alpine vegetation, montane forest, lowland wet forest, freshwater marsh, to the coastal mangrove forests in the Arafura Sea. The large area included within the boundaries also assists in maintaining the high level of biodiversity found in the park including numeorus endemic species.
Several threats need to be addressed to ensure the integrity of the park including; development pressures, road construction, boundary demarkation, mining activity, petroleum exploration, illegal logging, impacts from human residents and limited management capacities and resources. There is a need to develop a comprehemsive management plan for the property which addresses the issue of limited effective field management as well as long term protection of the property from on-going threats. The size of the property, while providing an inherent degree of protection, also greatly influences the level of funding, staff capacity and technical expertise required to effectively manage. These issues and threats need to be addressed in more detail to ensure the outstanding universal value of the park remains intact and its stewardship is assured. Previously identified threats, such as unclear boundaries of the property and illegal fishing activities, are no longer considered as major threats, but require continued monitoring to ensure the maintenance of the integrity of the property.
Protection and management requirements
The management of Lorentz National Park World Heritage Property is under the authority of the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation, Ministry of Forestry, Republic of Indonesia. The first formal protection offered to the property covered a core area of the Lorentz landscape and was applied in 1919 by the Dutch Colonial Government and removed as a result of conflict with local people over land ownership. A Strict Nature Reserve was subsequently established in 1978 with Lorentz National Park (2,505,600 ha) established by Ministerial Decree in 1997 under Law No. 41 on Forestry, 1999. The property is also covered by Law No. 5 of 1990 Concerning Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystems.
Responsibility for management of protected areas in Indonesia sits with the Directorate of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHKA) within the Department of Forestry in the Central Government. Operational management has been conducted by Lorentz National Park Bureau (Balai Taman Nasional Lorentz) since 2007 under the Minister of Forestry regulation 29/2006 which established the management structure for the property.
The Strategic Plan, the long term management plan and the zoning system are under development through broad and participatory processes involving related stakeholders. Long-term management tools address current and future threats including the estabilishment of new districts and road development within the property. Despite limited technical and financial resources, regular patrolling activities carried out to detect and halt illegal activities in the park. Nevertheless, additional resources are needed. To assist in addressing and overcoming this problem, the "Friends of Lorentz" initiative has been endorsed by a broad range of national and international partners, and aims to mobilize long term financial and technical assistance, as well as much needed capacity building for the effective management of the property.
The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry has requested the local government to monitor and halt continued work on a number of developments, including the existing and planned road developments within the boundaries of the property. In addition, the World Heritage Working Group under the Coordinating Ministry of Social Welfare as the national focal point for World Heritage is establishing an intergovermental coordination unit to address this issue and ensure continued monitoring of road developments.
International experts are being identified by the National Park management authority to proivde advice and technical assistance to combat forest die-back caused by Phytophora disease in Nothofagus forests. The private sector is also engaged providing necesary financial support. In addition, acknowledging the importance of involving indigenous communities in the effective protection of the park, communication channels are being forged with local indigenous organizations. This collaboration is key to facilitating negotiation and conflict resolution between different tribes as well as in carrying out comprehensive studies on the biodiversity and natural resources in areas where indigenous communities live.
Long Description
The park stretches for over 150 km, from Irian Jaya's central cordillera mountains in the north to the Arafura Sea in the south. The park can be divided into two very distinct zones: the swampy lowlands and the high mountain area of the central cordillera. The central cordillera itself can be subdivided in the eastern part and the western part on the basis of geology and vegetation types.
The central mountain ranges are the southern portion of two colliding continental plates, which are causing the mountain range to rise. The lowering and rising of the sea level during the glacial and interglacial periods of the Pleistocene epoch, along with continuous activity in the mobile belt which characterizes the contact zone of the two colliding lithospheric plates, has continued to promote the great biodiversity of the island of New Guinea in general, and in the Lorentz area in particular. Large tracts of the mountain range and especially the area formed by the traditional lands of the Amungme (or Amung) are rich in mineral deposits, especially gold and copper. The Carstenz/Puncak Jaya section of the Jayawijaya mountain range still retains small ice caps. It is one of only three equatorial of sufficiently high altitude to retain permanent ice. The main snowfields comprise five separate areas of ice on the outer margins of Mount Puncak Jaya. These include two small fields which feed the Meren and Carstenz glaciers and a small hanging glacier on the Carstenz Pyramid.
Based on physiographic types, five altitudinal vegetation zones have been identified within Lorentz National Park: lowland zone, montane zone, subalpine zone, alpine zone and nival zone; some of the zones are further divided into subzones.
The lowland zone comprises the beach subzone covered by vegetation ranging from pioneer herbaceous communities on the first beach ridge to tall mixed forest inland. The tidal swamp subzone comprises one land system, the Kajapah, consisting of intertidal swamps of mangrove and nipah palm. The montane altitudinal zone comprises the Kemum land system, steep-sided deeply dissected mountain ridges. This altitudinal zone is subdivided into lower montane subzone, mid-montane subzone and upper montane subzone. The subalpine zone occurs from 3,200 m to 4,170 m. All alpine zones are located above 4,170 m and consist of alpine peaks with bare rocks and residual ice caps. The lower subalpine forest is floristically poor. The alpine zone lies between 4,170 m and 4,585 m. The alpine vegetation includes all communities growing above the tall shrub limits. These are grassland, heath and tundra.
In the highlands of Lorentz National Park, six species are endemic to the Snow Mountains; 26 species are endemic to the central Papuan ranges Endemic Bird Area while three species are endemic to the south Papuan lowlands EBA. Globally threatened animal species were found in the lowlands. Vulnerable and threatened birds of the mountains include Salvadori's teal, the snow mountain robin, and Macgregor's bird of paradise. Mammals include two of the world's three monotremes; the short-beaked echidna Tachyglossus aculeatus, a species shared with Australia, and the long-beaked echidna Zaglossus bruijinii, a New Guinea endemic. Mammals also include a range of marsupials including at least four species of cuscus, several species of tree kangaroo and one species of Dasyuridae, often referred to as the 'tiger cat'.
The indigenous human population comprises eight (and possibly nine) tribal groups. The region has been inhabited for over 24,000 years and has evolved some of the most distinctive and long isolated cultures in the world.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

As you know, Galaxy Nexus supports only MTP protocol for USB connection, which is not greatly supported under Linux. As a workaround, I have tried to upload my music to Galaxy Nexus through WiFi. I have installed "WebDAV server" (The Olive Tree) from Market and uploaded a couple of tracks to Music folder. But, Music app on the phone does not see any music, shows just "ways to add music..." message. Is there a way to force a rescan?

I have to admit I have not played with Galaxy Nexus, but AIRDOID is claimed to be a good solution for moving files. I use it with both my phones and works fine. I know the new way parts are mounted makes a huge difference. I usually use Zimly as media player, and it finds uploded with airdroid files without any problems. You might need to re-scan media, as well.
If you are on Ubuntu, you might try this as last resort solution
Specific solution for my problem is to install Rescan SD application from Market and launch it after uploading music through WebDAV.
I suggest you to try QtADB, instead of your WebDav work-a-round.

I was looking at a catalog today for bed risers. I had a set of 4 under the bed but with my bed being an adjustable bed, they did not hold up to the weight. I was looking at wooden ones when my mind went into gear and said "Make them out of metal dummy" so I did. Only an hour to make 4 of them from scratch. I used 1/4" x 4 x 4 tubing that I had on stock and 2" angle iron for inside that the wheel fits into perfectly, I also put a 4" flat on the bottom so the edge did not cut into the carpet. They are 5" high and make the bed just the right height.
I also included a pic of another plow dolly I made on Friday.

Systemic mastocytosis (mas-to-sy-TOE-sis) is a rare disorder caused by a mutation that results in an excessive number of mast cells in your body. Mast cells normally help protect you from disease and aid in wound healing. But if you have systemic mastocytosis, excess mast cells can build up in various parts of your body.
When triggered, these mast cells release substances that can overwhelm your body. You might experience symptoms such as facial flushing, itching, a rapid heartbeat, abdominal cramps, lightheadedness or even loss of consciousness. Common triggers include alcohol, temperature changes, spicy foods and certain medications.
Systemic mastocytosis is classified into seven subtypes. The most common form progresses slowly, but there are others that develop rapidly. Mast cell leukemia and mast cell sarcoma subtypes are extremely rare forms of systemic mastocytosis.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns.

Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.
Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis can be confirmed by finding high numbers of mast cells or high levels of the substances they release in your body, such as tryptase, histamine products, leukotrienes or prostaglandins. Tests your doctor may use to confirm systemic mastocytosis include:
Treatment for systemic mastocytosis varies depending on the type you have. Basic components of most systemic mastocytosis treatment plans include:
If you have the aggressive form of systemic mastocytosis, or mastocytosis associated with another blood disorder, you may be treated with chemotherapy medications, which reduce the number of mast cells. Chemotherapy treatment length varies depending on your specific condition, how well you respond to treatment and how well you tolerate it.
