A child picks a dandelion and the fluffy ball changes from a weed to a magical flower that can make wishes come true. That innocent image was the inspiration for Andie Frisbee's Dandelion boutique, which opened in the Vogue Center in 2007.
"We should look at other objects the same way – not so seriously, but with a child's eye," she said. "The dandelion represents going beyond what is traditional and 'proper' to that which is unusual and individualistic."
Before opening Dandelion, she learned the ropes of retail sales by working for her friend Sharalea Bollinger at the Lady Bug store in Prospect. Andie also studied interior architecture at the University of Louisville; but when she realized that the city was offering significant loans to women, she decided to open a shop of her own.
"Everything fell into place," she said. "I live in the Highlands, and I passed the Vogue Center on my way to and from Lady Bug. This was where I saw everything happening. I knew it would be right for me."
At first, she primarily stocked home décor items and furniture, while accepting interior design projects. Over the past couple of years, her focus has shifted to jewelry, handbags and gift selections.
"I have a huge love for jewelry, and that's what I envisioned the store being in large part anyway," she said. "The change has worked out well: The smaller inventory 'moves' a lot faster than sofas."
Andie's goal is to satisfy customers who are looking for "modern glamour" and more sparkle in their lives. Dandelion features local artist Julie Moore's Cale & Cole pieces, which feature beautiful stones; her natural sapphires are cut so thin, light glows through them.
A wide range of hostess gifts, including unusual picture frames, bud vases and candles, also are available (with free gift-wrapping), as are hats made exclusively for Dandelion by designers in New York and Los Angeles.
"I'd say we have more modern gifts than traditional ones – a little more on the cutting edge," she said. "A few years ago, we started selling Whisky Rocks, which keep drinks chilled without diluting them. They are now one of our biggest-selling gifts. They're made in America, and we like to offer things that are."
Handbags fashioned out of what has been dubbed "vegan leather" are increasingly popular. Although women are still investing in leather bags, Andie has found that many are impressed by the latest generation of manmade materials.
Dandelion customers also have become fans of fragrance and skin care products in Margot Elena's TokyoMilk Dark collection. With names such as Arsenic, Bulletproof and Crushed, the perfumes and lotions have what Andie described as "more of a noir feel" than TokyoMilk's more familiar Lollia line.
Dandelion has a special selection of gifts for babies and toddlers as well.
"We added children's items a few years ago, and they've proven to be a good investment," she said. "We take a modern approach, with things that are edgier than pink and blue bunnies. The Kiddo line of toys from New York is designed beautifully and kid-friendly."
Andie is making plans for her next buying trip. In women's accessories, she expects to find more large "statement" pieces of jewelry that dress up simple clothing.
"I'm looking forward to going to New York soon," she said. "It will be exciting to see what's going on. I can't wait to show my customers what I've found, especially if it's a bit unexpected."
Dandelion, located in the Vogue Center, 3729 Lexington Road, is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit www.dandelionhome.com or www.facebook.com/dandelion.home, or phone 502.899.3729.

I've brewed many extracts but want to get into whole grain brewing. What equipment do I need? Any recommendations for beginner / low-cost grain mills?
I personally don't mill my own grain, my local homebrew shop has a mill and I use it regularly and have produced great beers with it.
I understand that it's better to mill your grain as close to brewing time as possible, but I would suggest, if possible, delay the purchase of a grain mill a bit. I think you'd be better served by getting a great mash tun or a wort chiller (if you don't already own them)
I've got a Victoria Grain Mill. It was about $50. It looks like a Corona mill, but I've read that they are better suited to grinding malt than Corona mills. I don't know if that's true or not, but this Victoria mill works great. The closest store to me is a couple of hours away, including a ferry ride, so I'd much rather be able to grind my own grain. I was a little worried just after I bought it, but it has been great.
I suggest grinding your grain a day or a few days before brew day. An all-grain batch is a big process, and removing this one self-contained part of it makes brew day easier.
I also suggest grinding out-of-doors if possible. Just the dust produced by dumping your grain out of the sacks justifies this, but the grinding will make more mess.
A grinding session, including getting everything out, weighing, grinding, and putting it all away takes me less than an hour. The grinding itself is maybe 20 minutes. My kids love helping with the grinding -- I have to give them a time limit of a minute each at a time. Outside, on the deck, in the sun, handling and smelling the wonderful grains -- it's a great time.
As has been said, the cheapest option is to use your Local Home Brew Store's mill. Or see if there is a local brewery near by that you can befriend.
I found that moving away from the LHBS' mill was a huge benefit.
If you venture out into a more expensive home mill, there are a couple of things you will want to consider:
After googling around a bit I found three vendors in the running for my mill:
I ended up going with the Monster Mill 3 roller w/ 1/2" drive but my gut is any of these are fine products. I "motorized" mine with a Dewalt 1/2" corded screwdriver (12amp hammerdrill). These can also be fitted with a set of wheels and belts to do a more permeant installation.
If you brew by yourself, I recommend getting a good size hopper and rollers big enough for the job. I just put the mill on top of a bucket, dump a whole bucket in the hopper and then crack those (while my water is coming up to strike temperature).
Also, check the gap on the mill ever couple of grinds. Even though I have marked (sharpie) the spot where I have set the mill gap, it does not take much to get out of position. I use my VW's feeler gauges for this.
FWIW, We have been very happy with getting the mill and cracking the grains right before dough in is not problem.
I have a MaltMill and it really gives me a consistent crush which gives me a fairly high malt extraction efficiency percentage. Around 70-80%. It's definitely a higher end mill at around $150.
You can get a Corona grain mill for around $40-50 with some Google searching. That will work pretty well, but not great.
If you get either of the mills, make sure you modify them to work with a drill or a motor so that you don't have to spend 30 minutes cranking away.
Or just do what Nathan suggested and just get it milled as close to brew time as possible.
Have fun with All Grain!
I bought a corona mill for 40 euros (58 USD). Not cheap, but I couldn't find anything else in Madrid and wanted it immediately.
The mill works pretty well, although it is probably not really designed for the coarse grinding we want for malts. It is more for making finer flour. I couldn't get enough separation between the two grinding plates so I had to loosen the lock pin (see image, pin on far left) which made the whole thing wobble about a bit.
However, I have used the mill quite a bit and the grind comes out fine. Or, at least, I usually seem to hit my target gravities with an extraction efficiency of ~70% which is fine by me.

Top 10 Heroes of Greek Mythology
The term "hero" is perhaps overused today, but these guys were the originals. The mythology of ancient Greece was filled with great heroes who slew monsters, battled whole armies, and loved (and lost) beautiful women. The full stories often reveal Hercules, Achilles, Perseus and others to be imperfect characters ... but their names have lived on for millennia.
1 of 11
As an infant Achilles' mother dipped him into the River Styx, which made him invulnerable everywhere but the heel by which she held him. For ten years Achilles was a great hero in the Trojan War for the Greeks. But in the end, Paris, son of the Trojan king, fatally wounded Achilles in the heel. Today, the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone is called the Achilles tendon, and a small but dangerous weakness is known as an "Achilles heel."

Storm Kills 6, Heads to Northeast
A slow-moving storm system headed toward the Northeast after unleashing tornadoes and dumping snow in the nation's South and Midwest, which caused delays for holiday travelers and disrupted a key shopping day for retailers.
At least six people had died as of late Wednesday as a result of hazardous conditions brought on by the storm, according to the Associated Press. State highway patrols scrambled to untangle the messy roads and urged people to stay inside.
"This is a very dynamic, energized storm," said Chris Vaccaro, spokesman for the National Weather Service, noting reports of about three dozen tornadoes on Christmas Day, blizzard warnings in the Midwest and high winds expected for the Northeast.
More than 1,800 flights had been canceled in the U.S. since Christmas morning, with the forecasted strong winds expected to cause more, according to FlightAware.com, which tracks flight information.
Christen David, spokeswoman for United Continental Holdings Inc., UAL -1.08 % said flights to and from Ohio River Valley and Cleveland airports were the most affected by cancellations. The airline, which operates a hub in Cleveland, said it is temporarily waiving its change fees for passengers who want to reschedule to avoid the storm. Other airlines were announcing such moves as the bad weather began to bear down on larger East Coast airports.
This is the latest in severe weather this year, following 11 major weather events for 2012, according to the National Weather Service, including an extensive drought across much of the Midwest and parts of the South that was said to be the most severe since the 1930s. Final tallies for the cost of those disasters won't come until next year, said Mr. Vaccaro. Last year, there were 14 separate major weather events that totaled nearly $60 billion in damages.
"These temperature and precipitation extremes that we've been seeing this year and in recent years is consistent with what climate scientists see as more 'normal' as we move forward in years and decades ahead in a warming climate," he said.
After an already muted holiday-sales season, the latest storms deterred shoppers on what is usually a busy day for retailers, when many people return gifts and redeem gift cards. "The crowds are thinner, and the lines are shorter all over the country," said NPD Group Inc. retail analyst Marshal Cohen. "The bad weather, hitting a broad area of the country, is yet another thing the retailers have to absorb."
Transportation and shipping along the East Coast and central U.S. were slowed by the winter storms, which packed gusts of more than 50 miles per hour and brought heavy snow or rain. United Parcel Service Inc. UPS -0.58 % halted pickups and deliveries in several parts of Arkansas and Kentucky, due to heavy snowfall and other inclement weather, according to a company spokesman. Outside of Oklahoma City, a 21-car pileup shut down traffic for five hours on Tuesday.
The storms knocked out power to about 10,800 households in Georgia, which experienced lashing winds in the Atlanta metropolitan area Tuesday night and downpours near its northeastern coast on Wednesday, according to a Georgia Power spokeswoman.
In Alabama, 11 counties reported damage from a series of tornadoes Tuesday evening, said Yasamie August, a spokeswoman for the state's emergency management agency. No fatalities or serious injuries have been reported, she said. But in Mobile, twisters crushed two field houses at Murphy High School and leveled the Trinity Episcopal Church, with the roof to the sanctuary sheared off by the powerful winds. In a Tuesday evening message posted on Trinity's website, the Rev. Bailey Norman told members the church "is likely a total loss" and had sustained "severe structural damage."
Still, the Christmas snow was welcomed by some. In southeastern Indiana, ski slopes largely depend on manmade snow these days, said Mike Mettler, who manages Perfect North Slopes. He welcomed the storm's snowfall for his 20 slopes. "This is the best kind of advertising you can have," he said.

5 Terrifying Ways Your Own Gadgets Can Be Used to Spy On You
#2. Using the Internet to Find Your Personal Info
You probably think you're pretty clever about what sort of personal information you reveal on the Internet. Sure, we all have a drunken electric slide pic out there, but it's not like the average person is handing out their address and phone number to everyone they meet in some shady chatroom. So your personal life is pretty secure, right?
Pictured: total safety.
Totally. Unless somebody knows your name or has a vague idea of where you live. Because with just those little tidbits, anyone can track down your precise address, phone number, and just about all the other information that you don't exactly advertise to the universe.
Wait, What?
And there's more than one way to do it, too. For starters, there's a site that lets you browse around a map of your community to see if anyone near you has a criminal record. The website is kind of creepy and seems to promote vigilante justice, plus they freely admit that their data isn't always accurate, so maybe that 80-year-old man with the oxygen tank who lives next door isn't really a serial rapist after all.
And if the guy doing the searching isn't a total cheapskate, there are plenty of websites out there that are willing to give out all sorts of personal info for the right price. You can get someone's address and phone number with just a couple of bucks, but if you want to get fancy you can also get their previous addresses, aliases, tax and legal history, property values, marriage and divorce records, and info on their neighbours and family members, all for around $40.
Apparently you can put a price on human life. And that price is less than a new Xbox game.
All these sites are doing is pulling together a bunch of info taken from various public records databases, but the end result is a report on your life history for anyone who cares to pay for it. Suddenly that guy who's stalking you on Facebook looks pretty harmless.
#1. Tracking Every Keystroke You Make
By this point in the game, you're a straight up idiot if you don't realize your boss can and will spy on you at work. You probably gave him the right to do it when you got the job, one of those forms in between the Dress Code and the Sexual Harassment Policy.
And the fact that you're probably reading this at work after sorting through a bunch of chain e-mails from your co-workers would suggest that most people are OK with this. After all, giving employees Internet access without monitoring them is basically giving them permission to spend the entire workday looking at penis trees.
Thousands of office workers just looked at a tree's dick. Welcome to the Internet.
What you probably didn't realize was that for just about $50 anyone else with a few minutes of access to your computer can monitor you just as thoroughly.
Wait, What?
At this very second, companies like Thinkertec are making programs like SpyPal. In their words, "Invisible computer & Internet activity monitoring software!"
Thinkertec warns parents of the dangers of their children using MySpace or Xanga (which are both apparently still things) and suggesting that it's perfectly OK to thus invade your family member's privacy because you're only doing it to stop online predators. To be fair, it's probably pretty effective: nothing teaches a child to be suspicious better than spying on every little thing they do.
"Listen, my boy. Never trust The Man."
But parents aren't the only ones utilizing this stuff. For only about fifty clams, employers/spouses/super clingy computer repairmen can install this program and in return it will give up your passwords, chat conversations, screenshots with playback, weird search terms that you plug in on a whim at 3 am, everything.
Plus the software will squeal on any programs executed, clipboard activity or keystrokes typed. So, everything you ever do on a computer, ever. And all of that information will get reported to the customer at their whim... with hourly updates, if they want. For less money than a video game.
But say you do all your web surfing at home, and you live alone. Nobody's going to spy on you there, right? Well, unless your Internet service provider starts looking through your browsing history without your knowledge. And then sells your data to advertisers.
"Wow, a pop-up for a coffee cup/newspaper/stripey sweater emporium. What are the odds?"
Did you know that pretty much every Internet provider saves their customers' browsing histories? To be fair there are legitimate uses for the practice, like helping the police track down child pornography rings, or letting the RIAA sue the shit out of some guy who downloaded 3 songs several years ago. Or, you could have a situation like they had in Britain in 2006, where the country's three biggest ISPs were going to sell their customers' browsing habits to a company called Phorm to created targeted ads. Phorm, incidentally, got their start by making millions from spyware .

The cold temperatures have many without homes seeking shelter.
Workers at the Salvation Army are busy getting ready to feed a full house.
They say with the temperatures below freezing they will not turn anyone away seeking shelter.
The shelter can hold 60 people at capacity but will make room for anyone else who needs shelter.
wbko.com Extended Web Coverage
Preparing for Cold Weather
Pay close attention to weather changes, especially when the temperature falls quickly within a short period of time.
Put on dry, light and comfortable clothes that are good for keeping warm. Do not put on clothes that are too bulky, and do not dress too tightly, which may restrict blood circulation or hinder body movements. Be sure to keep the head, neck, hands and feet warm.
Eat and drink hot and easily digestible food and beverages with higher calories, like hot milk, soup, noodles and rice. Alcohol is not a good means for keeping warm. Although one feels warm immediately after drinking alcohol, it actually accelerates the loss of body heat, as alcohol dilates blood vessels.
Keep your home warm, but well ventilated. To keep out drafts, repair cracks in windows, doors and walls. When using electric heaters, make sure there is indoor ventilation. Do not overload the electrical sockets which could overheat and lead to fire or burn injuries.
What is hypothermia?
Tips to avoiding hypothermia
Before you or your children step out into cold air temperatures, remember this simple advice: C-O-L-D.

WOODSFIELD - The Switzerland of Ohio Local School Board recalled two employees off the recall list. Frank Smithberger and Terry McKee as cleaning personnel for two of the schools.
"I would like to clarify something for the public, we have been hearing rumors that we are going to buy out teachers and give them super severance," said board president Ronald Winkler. "This board is in no way of doing that and also with the concensus of the board that people are asking to retire and be hired and that is not going to happen, just to clarify."
The board took this time to address some of the other issues that have been floating around the district. Some of these rumors include new Beallsville school was sold and will be used as a correction facility and Powhatan Elementary will be sold in two years.
"Absolutely no discussion by the board to sell any of the new buildings. Obviously, if the levy passes, no building will be closed," said District Treasurer Lance Erlwein. "If the levy doesn't pass, then Phase II and III cuts will only keep us in the black for three or four years. At that time the board will be forced to consider additional cuts , which may include building closures.
"That is something that will board will consider only if we can not secure other revenues."
The board will put a 6.44 mil levy on the upcoming ballot. The passage of this levy will secure multiple teaching positions as well as several academic programs.

Sounds great! I will definitely try them soon.
Mini Mushroom-&-Sausage Quiches
From EatingWell: April/May 2005
These crustless mini quiches are like portable omelets. Turkey sausage and sauteed mushrooms keep them light and savory. Small and satisfying, they're also a good finger food for your next cocktail party.
87 Reviews for Mini Mushroom-&-Sausage Quiches
I thought this was really easy to make for a brunch and everyone really enjoyed it! I did make a few modifications, though, based upon my personal taste. I added cayenne pepper, seasoning salt, and garlic powder to the egg mixture. I also substituted Canadian bacon for the turkey sausage and Cheddar cheese for the Swiss.
Found them mushy and eggy. Will be making them again soon and I'm planning on using three eggs and two whites and Pam with flour instead of the regular non-stick.
I love this recipe! I have a hard time eating eggs for breakfast after a while and this is a different way to use them!
I don't really change anything in this recipe although I prefer to divide the meat and mushroom mixture into the muffin pan and then pour the egg mixture over it. It's faster and less messy.
These are great! I didn't have swiss, so I shredded some sharp cheddar and I added about 4 chopped artichoke hearts. I should have let them cook a little bit longer to accommodate for the extra moisture from the artichoke hearts. I can't wait for my husband to try them! He's always looking for low calorie things to eat with lots of protein! Thanks Eating Well!!!

Hi, I am becoming so frudtrated -
I have been trying to get help with an issue which is making it imposible for me to use kdenlive, and I am struggeling to get any help at all...
I have asked on the forums and IRC, and made a bug report which took me a long time as I am not very tenchical, but there is still no response to it
please can someone help me, I am really desperate - I have been working in free software for several years now and have never come accross a comunity so rude - all this stuff about "if you don't do this we won't reply" - It's properly not on to speak to people like that, we should all be working together to make vidoediting free, not ignoring the people who struggle the most. I appreciate that people are busy and that this is a small comunity, I am busy too, but I think its vital that free software is functional and its comunities plesant.
Please can someone help me with my bug so I can get back to using free software and helping people who know less than me to lean more

Hi Anna,
No luck with the build script ?
Sorry I can't be more helpful, I know nothing about Kdenlive's internals.

Hi Anna,
You are certainly going through the wars there. I should think a lot of people are, like me, scratching their heads over this one.
Just looking through your posts quickly, and I couldn't see if you have tried this, but have you thought of Extracting the Audio from a clip in the Project Tree. Then put the .wave file in the audio timeline and see if it plays ok.
Sorry if you have already tried this.

I suppose we would need rights on the site to be able to edit such a page. ;)
Maybe a forum admin could make a section like the one for supported video cams? And people could post their setups/distros and if they work.

We've just received word of something very noble from the renowned whisky merchants and bottlers Gordon and MacPhail.
The legendary Scottish brand has been trading with Japan for decades and they've very generously donated bottle No. 1 of Glenlivet 70 Year old 1940 to help raise money for the Japanese relief effort. The bottle will be sold at Bonhams Auction House in Glasgow, and all funds raised will be given to the Red Cross, who are doing all they can to help the Japanese in the aftermath of one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent history.

Those good ol' boys at Gordon and Macphail have done it again – they've release another 'the world's oldest whisky'…
Following on from the huge success of last year's release of a 70 year old Mortlach under their new 'Generations' brand, G&M have released another cask that has been sitting dormant in their warehouse since the days of the second world war.
Perhaps the most astonishing part of both of these releases has been that neither of the whiskies have been described in any way as 'over the hill' or 'too woody'. It's testament to the absolute vastness of G&M's stock that they're able to pull out gems such as these after the best part of a lifetime in Oak.
Distilled on 4th February 1940 (just 3 days before the release of Disney's Pinocchio – thank you Wikipedia), the whisky was filled into a first-fill sherry butt which has yielded only 100 70cl bottles, and 175 20cl bottles. The bottling ABV (at natural cask strength of 45.9%) is actually comparatively high for a whisky More...

Further to our prophetic post last week about Old Whisky, the release has been announced earlier today of the new Mortlach 70 Year Old - the oldest bottled Single Malt Whisky in the world. At a full 70 years old, this is one in the eye for Dalmore, whose recent super-high-end releases have never quite hit this magical age marker.
Bottled by Gordon and Macphail, an award-winning malt whisky specialist from Elgin – this super-luxury whisky has been produced and bottled in exceptionally small quantity from a Spanish Ex-Bodega Sherry Hogshead which was laid down in 1938. Click here to read more...
The presentation of whiskies of this age and calibre is paramount, and this release certainly does not disappoint. Presented in a crystal and Sterling Silver decanter, all housed in a hand-made box made from Brazilian Rosewood.
Whilst we've not (yet) tasted this world first of a dram, we can include below tasting notes from Charles Maclean..
Available now, and an absolute snip at only £9999!

|Pilgrims gather at Namira Mosque in Mount Arafat
In his sermon, Sheikh Al-Asheikh, who also serves as Chairman of the Senior Ulema (Religious Scholars), said the greatest challenge facing the Muslim community lately is from deviant ideology and that adherence to the right principles is one of the most important duties of a Muslim.
Sheikh Al-Asheikh added that one of the greatest deviations is politicizing the Hajj, destabilizing its security and causing chaos and riot during the Hajj. His eminence stressing that the Saudi leadership will not allow any evil-doers to desecrate or destabilize the security of the holy land.
The Mufti added that terrorism is one of the most dangerous challenges facing the Muslim community and that Muslims and peoples all over the world have suffered from terrorism.

Hello Guys.
I'm using Nodal Ninja most of the time with 10.5 mm so it did not cross my mind that I will want to use it with 18-70 DX.
i would like to take a panorama of our village, and I would like to shoot it starting 18mm, 35mm and 50mm (these data can be found in camera settings)
What i'm wondering is what is the right setup if I shoot on 70mm?
Did somebody tried it?
Thanks in advance

Zero-Interest Rate Policy and Unintended Consequences in Emerging Markets
In response to the subprime crisis and Great Recession central banks in advanced economies have cut interest rates towards zero and increased monetary accommodation to step-up domestic growth. In this paper I attempt to describe the unintended consequences of the low interest rate policies in emerging markets. I argue based on the Mises-Hayek business cycle theory that the current low interest rate policy in advanced economies may have planted the seeds for new bubbles and gave rise to interventionist cycles in emerging markets. I show that capital flows to high-yielding emerging markets translate into monetary expansion in emerging markets. In the face of buoyant capital inflows fear of floating forces emerging markets to follow the interest rate policy of advanced economies. The monetary expansion triggers mal-investment and over-borrowing. To stem against arising inflationary pressure and kill-off speculative capital inflows empirical evidence suggests that emerging market governments increasingly repress financial markets. International financial markets disintegrate. I conclude that the monetary policy of the large advanced economies is incompatible with financial integration and globalization.

My son's latest collectible minifigure purchase was missing its legs. Is it possible to get a replacement set of legs?
In short, yes it is possible.
The best place to find replacement parts is Bricklink.com.
You don't mention which minifgure is missing its leg, but for example, here is a link to the 'Hips and Legs with Studded Belt and Safety Pins Pattern' of the Series 4 minifg 'Punk Rocker'.
To find the required part for your minifig, a good starting point would be to look thorough the Collectible Minifigures Catalog Gallery on Bricklink and go from there.
As for cost, it varies greatly on based on rarity and desirability of the part you are looking for.
LEGO will replace a part for free on their website, providing it was missing from purchase. Sadly replacement parts aren't available for Collectible Minifigures, but you can contact them to let them know.
Ensure the Minifigure packet has been fully emptied, it's quite easy to lose parts when you open the packet.

Breast cancer, a common cancer in women, is a disease in which cancer(malignant) cells are found in the tissues of the breast. Each breast has 15 to 20 sections called lobes, which have many smaller sections called lobules. The lobes and lobules are connected by thin tubes called ducts. The most common type of breast cancer is ductal cancer. It is found in the cells of the ducts. Cancer that begins in the lobes or lobules is called lobular cancer. Lobular cancer is more often found in both breasts than other types of breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is an uncommon type of breast cancer. In this disease, the breast is warm, red, and swollen.
Hereditary breast cancer makes up approximately 5% to 10% of all breast cancer cases. The genes in cells carry the hereditary information that is received from a person's parents. Several genes have been found to be defective in some breast cancer patients. Relatives of breast cancer patients who carry these defective genes may be more likely to develop breast or ovarian cancer. Some defective genes are more common in certain ethnic groups. Tests are being developed to determine who has the genetic defect long before any cancer appears. (Refer to the PDQ summaries on Screening for Breast Cancer and Prevention of Breast Cancer for more information.)
Hormonal contraceptives may be another factor to consider. Research findings suggest a link between contraceptive use and a slightly increased risk of developing breast cancer.
A doctor should be seen if changes in the breasts are noticed. The doctor may suggest that you have a mammogram. A mammogram is a special x-ray of the breast that may find tumors that are too small to feel. If a lump in the breast is found, the doctor may need to cut out a small piece of the lump and look at it under the microscope to see if there are any cancer cells. This procedure is called a biopsy. Sometimes the biopsy is done by inserting a needle into the breast and drawing out some of the tissue. If the biopsy shows that there is cancer, it is important that certain tests (called estrogen and progesterone receptor tests) be done on the cancer cells.
Estrogen and progesterone receptor tests may tell whether hormones affect the way the cancer grows. They may also give information about the chances of the tumor coming back (recurring). The results help a doctor decide whether to use hormone therapy to stop the cancer from growing. Tissue from the tumor needs to be taken to the laboratory for estrogen and progesterone tests at the time of biopsy because it may be hard to get enough cancer cells later, although newer techniques can be used on tissue that is not fresh.
The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is just in the breast or has spread to other places in the body), the type of breast cancer, certain characteristics of the cancer cells, and whether the cancer is found in the other breast. A woman's age,weight, menopausal status (whether or not a woman is still having menstrual periods), and general health can also affect the prognosis and choice of treatment.
If a patient is going to have a mastectomy, breast reconstruction (making a new breast mound) may be considered. It may be done at the time of the mastectomy or at some future time. The breast may be made with the patient's own(non-breast) tissue or by using implants. Different types of implants can be used. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that breast implants filled with silicone gel may only be used in clinical trials. Saline-filled breast implants, which contain saltwater rather than silicone gel, may also be used. Before the decision to get an implant is made, patients can call the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiologic Health at 1-888-INFO-FDA(1-888-463- 6332) to obtain additional information. Additional questions can then be discussed with a doctor.
Stage 0
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS; also known as intraductal carcinoma) is a very early breast cancer that may develop into an invasive (cancer that has spread from the duct into surrounding tissues) type of breast cancer.
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is not cancer, but rather a marker that identifies a woman at increased risk to develop invasive (cancer that has spread into surrounding tissues) breast cancer later in life.
Stage I
The cancer is no larger than 2 centimeters (about 1 inch) and has not spread outside the breast.
Stage II
Stage II is divided into stages IIA and IIB.
Stage IIA is defined by either of the following:
The cancer is no larger than 2 centimeters but has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm (the axillary lymph nodes).
The cancer is between 2 and 5 centimeters (from 1 to 2 inches), but has not spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.
Stage IIB is defined by either of the following:
The cancer is between 2 and 5 centimeters (from 1 to 2 inches), and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.
The cancer is larger than 5 centimeters (larger than 2 inches), but has not spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.
Stage III
Stage III is divided into stages IIIA and IIIB.
Stage IIIA is defined by either of the following:
The cancer is smaller than 5 centimeters and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm, and the lymph nodes are attached to each other or to other structures.
The cancer is larger than 5 centimeters and has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.
Stage IIIB is defined by either of the following:
The cancer has spread to tissues near the breast (skin or chest wall, including the ribs and the muscles in the chest).
The cancer has spread to lymph nodes inside the chest wall along the breast bone.
Stage IV
The cancer has spread to other organs of the body, most often the bones, lungs, liver, or brain. Or, tumor has spread locally to the skin and lymph nodes inside the neck, near the collarbone.
Inflammatory breast cancer
Inflammatory breast cancer is a special class of breast cancer that is rare. The breast looks as if it is inflamed because of its red appearance and warmth.
The skin may show signs of ridges and wheals or it may have a pitted appearance. Inflammatory breast cancer tends to spread quickly.
Recurrent disease means that the cancer has come back (recurred) after it has been treated. It may come back in the breast, in the soft tissues of the chest (the chest wall), or in another part of the body.
There are treatments for all patients with breast cancer. Four types of treatment are used: -
Biological therapy (using the body's immune system to fight cancer), bone marrow transplantation, and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation are being tested in clinical trials.
Most patients with breast cancer have surgery to remove the cancer from the breast. Usually, some of the lymph nodes under the arm are also taken out and looked at under a microscope to see if there are any cancer cells.
Different types of operations used:
Surgery to conserve the breast:
Lumpectomy (sometimes called excisional biopsy or wide excision) is the removal of the lump in the breast and some of the tissue around it. It is usually followed by radiation therapy to the part of the breast that remains. Most doctors also take out some of the lymph nodes under the arm.
Partial or segmental mastectomy is the removal of the cancer as well as some of the breast tissue around the tumor and the lining over the chest muscles below the tumor. Usually some of the lymph nodes under the arm are taken out. In most cases, radiation therapy follows.
Other types of surgery:
Total or simple mastectomy is the removal of the whole breast. Sometimes lymph nodes under the arm are also taken out.
Modified radical mastectomy is the removal of the breast, many of the lymph nodes under the arm, the lining over the chest muscles, and sometimes part of the chest wall muscles. This is the most common operation for breast cancer.
Radical mastectomy (also called the Halsted radical mastectomy) is the removal of the breast, chest muscles, and all of the lymph nodes under the arm. For many years, this was the operation most used, but it is used now only when the tumor has spread to the chest muscles.
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external radiation therapy) or from putting materials that produce radiation(radioisotopes) through thin plastic tubes into the area where the cancer cells are found (internal radiation therapy).
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be taken by mouth or it may be put into the body by inserting a needle into a vein or muscle. Chemotherapy is called a systemic treatment because the drugs enter the bloodstream, travel through the body, and can kill cancer cells outside the breast area.
If tests show that the breast cancer cells have estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors, hormone therapy may be given. Hormone therapy is used to change the way hormones in the body help cancers grow. This may be done by using drugs that change the way hormones work or by surgery to take out organs that make hormones, such as the ovaries. Hormone therapy with tamoxifen is often given to patients with early stages of breast cancer. Hormone therapy with tamoxifen or estrogens can act on cells all over the body and may increase the chance of getting cancer of the uterus. A doctor should be seen for a pelvic examination every year. Any vaginal bleeding, other than menstrual bleeding, should be reported to a doctor as soon as possible.
Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the operation, the patient may be given radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy after surgery to try to kill any cancer cells that may be left. Therapy given after an operation when there are no cancer cells that can be seen is called adjuvant therapy.
Biological therapy tries to get the body to fight cancer. It uses materials made by the body or made in a laboratory to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against disease. Biological therapy is sometimes called biological response modifier (BRM) therapy or immunotherapy. This treatment is currently only being given in clinical trials.
Bone marrow transplantation is a type of treatment that is being studied in clinical trials. Sometimes breast cancer becomes resistant to treatment with radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Very high doses of chemotherapy may then be used to treat the cancer. Because the high doses of chemotherapy can destroy the bone marrow, marrow is taken from the bones before treatment. The marrow is then frozen and the patient is given high-dose chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy to treat the cancer. The marrow that was taken out is then thawed and given back to the patient through a needle inserted into a vein to replace the marrow that was destroyed. This type of transplant is called an autologous transplant. If the marrow that is given is taken from another person, the transplant is called an allogeneic transplant.
Another type of autologous transplant is called a peripheral blood stem cell transplant. The patient's blood is passed through a machine that removes the stem cells (immature cells from which all blood cells develop) and then returns the blood back to the patient. This procedure is called leukapheresis and usually takes 3 or 4 hours to complete. The stem cells are treated with drugs to kill any cancer cells and then frozen until they are transplanted back to the patient. This procedure may be done alone or with an autologous bone marrow transplant.
A greater chance for recovery occurs if the doctor chooses a hospital that does more than five bone marrow transplantations per year.
Treatment of breast cancer depends on the type and stage of the disease, and the patient's age, menopausal status, and overall health.
Standard treatment may be considered because of its effectiveness in patients in past studies, or participation in a clinical trial may be considered. Not all patients are cured with standard therapy and some standard treatments may have more side effects than are desired. For these reasons, clinical trials are designed to find better ways to treat cancer patients and are based on the most up-to-date information. Clinical trials are ongoing in most parts of the country for all stages of breast cancer. To learn more about clinical trials,call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237); TTY at 1-800-332-8615.
Adjuvant therapy (given in addition to the treatments listed above) may include:
Treatment for Stage IIIB cancer or inflammatory breast cancer may include one or more of the following:
Treatment for Stage IV cancer or metastatic breast cancer may include one or more of the following:

Governor Steve Beshear was in Bowling Green today to announce new jobs coming to our area.
The Governor along with city and county officials welcomed Davert USA Inc to the Bowling Green area.
Davert will open up with 25 new jobs in the first year, and has the potential to grow after that.
Davert officials say they make manufacturing parts for automobiles.
The company is a Canada based company, but the owner, Bob Collier, chose to expand right here in Bowling Green, a sentiment explained by one of his employees.
"Beyond all the technical and logistical aspects of my decisions, there is something special about the people here, I really like them, it just seems like the perfect fit," said Christina Beliles, Executive Administrator Davert.
The Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce says this is the 8th economic development announcement in 2012 with an investment of more than 33.5 million and 267 total announced jobs.

Thank you, dear friends, for your kind prayers. Sadly, I am not brave at all. If you had seen me as I sat dejectedly on the edge of the operating table as they shoved the epidural into me, you would not think me brave at all, for I was trembling and shaking like a leaf. One feels so vulnerable and completely out of control of the situation at such times.

I'm hoping to be living in Canada for a year shortly. I have a slight rivalry with friends about travelling north. My record is Murmansk, but it's about to be beaten by someone who is going to Tromsø, Norway (@Stuart). What's the furtherest north you can fly into? I'm assuming something like Svalbard (ironically with flights from Tromsø and Murmansk), but wondering if something can beat that?
Wikipedia has a very cool list for such kind of questions. It is called the List of northernmost items.
As you can see there, there are two possible candidates:
Now it gets difficult. You're asking for a commercial airport. The one in Nunavut is located in the northernmost permanent settlement in the world. So I think it is a clear win. The problem is, there is only twice a year a military flight to supply this settlement with goods. But it seems that you can get a trip with this plane.
If you think a commercial airport is only an airport with scheduled flights, your assumption Svalbard is correct.
According to wikipedia the northern most permanent airport with a regular schedule is indeed Svalbard (78°14′46″N 15°27′56″E).
I imagine there are possibly some further north in Canada but they may not have commercial flights.

Sandy brings economic booms, busts to Northeast
FAIRFIELD -- On a storm-battered stretch of Connecticut's shoreline, landscaping crews use heavy equipment to repair damage from Superstorm Sandy, racking up overtime pay at a time of year when many are typically looking for part-time jobs to carry them through the winter.
Just down the same road in Fairfield, business is more subdued at the Beachside restaurant. Flooding forced owner John Taxiltaridis to close for three weeks. A sign outside says "OPEN" in black spray paint, and he has gotten a boost selling sandwiches to construction workers, but many of his local customers have yet to return home.

Using Plugcomputer as a router/firewall?
November 13, 2009, 12:53:07 AM »
Dear all,
I just got hold of the plug computer yesterday
and has been thinking of using it in so many ways
. I am mainly into wireless networking. So, I was wondering, if there is a possibility of using this as a router/firewall/gateway device? The current sheeva plug development kit has only one ethernet interface.
So, are there any version available with two ethernet interface?
Also, I can get hold of USB-Ethernet converter and use the USB port as a second ethernet device? Does this work?
Thanks in advance...

The plug can clearly be a firewall between a USB-based device (such as USB-based DSL inbound, or USB-dongle WiFi outbound, or some other USB-based networking) and the built-in Ethernet as-is.
At some point I want to do this myself, and I'm already using iptables as an additional software firewall for the plug itself, and would simply expect to extend the rules and selectively enable routing, DHCP server, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Now as you said I can use the device to create a firewall between USB based device and the ethernet interface.
But, I also want to use it as a gateway router/firewall for an ISP kind of setup, where both the interface has to be Ethernet..one for the incoming traffic and the other for the outbound traffic. What can I do in this case? Any suggestions?

Well thats the easy way ..
There is however an other, not so easy way, to extend / increase the ammound of ethernet ports without using the usb port.
This is to use a switch that supports 802.1q (or so called vlan support) by using a tagged port on the switch to the plug and using the 8021q module of the linux kernel you can expand the number of ports of your plug to as many as the switch has ports, you must configure eatch switchpost on a seperate vlan. now you can use inside, outside, dmz1, dmz2 and even mirrored ports for snort IDS if you want to.
There is however one big draw back : the standard compiled kernels do not compile 802.1q support by default. so you have to compile a kernel your self to do this.
an example of a switch that supports vlans and gigabit ethernet ports is the linksys slm2008 or the linksys slm2005 ranging form 75 euro for the 5 port till 95 euros for the 8 port one.
it depends on your level of skill and time , the choice is up to you ...

wow. vlan reached consumer switches? For firewalls i still like to have physical interfaces (at least for the outside).

jep, the vlan support is available on consumer GibiaByte Ethernet equipment ..
And your absolutely correct in stating that you might want to connect the external interface to a separate interface for extra safety. Now lets investigate this option further how unsave is it to use vlan trunking that includes the outside interface?.
One of the biggest possible tread is vlan hopping. this occurs if you can manipulate the hole package including vlan tags and inject or modify the vlan tag to get from one vlan to the next.
Then Remember that in this solution only one tagged port to the plug will be used.
This means that packages form the internet are normal packages (no vlan tagges)
The switch will add the tag if the traffic is send to the tagged port witch go's to the plug.
conclusion :
If you want a 100% security then cut the internet wire in half .. and even then your not save form Radio freq. snooping .. using a plug as a firewall is not the ideal solution as well. you need to harden and strip the operating system , use a real firewall configuration iptables, packet inspection till layer7 and adaptable Access list (like moblok) etc. if you have done this then you will be becoming close to or even surpassing a commercial solution like Firewall-1 Netscreen or Cisco ASA. witch are all basically unix based boxes with a striped down optimized os. And most of them do not have the same power the sheeva-plus has. ...
Reality check / The question is can you use the plug as a router / firewall.
answer :
yes, you can if you use a switch and vlan's to expand the number of ports.
In the end you end up with a system that has amazing performance using the gigabyte interface and the processor power. for a amazing prise.
Regards, AMSpilot01
remark :
never use vlan1 on your switch for the outside because this is the default management vlan. on this vlan you can add and remove other new vlans use one of the spare ports as out of band management to vlan1.
remark :
make shore that pre-tagged packages from the internet are dropped by the switch (default configuration in all switches)
Note on trying to comprise the solution:
Even if you can send a pretagged package to the plug from the internet then this package will be tagged in hole again by the switch and send to the plug. The plug will strip the vlan-tag that the switch added form the package. now the pretaged package will be handeled as if it was send to a normal interface. A normal interface doesn't know what to do with a pretaggeded package and will drop the trafic.
The proposed solution is :
the logical layout
---internet--|switch port4-vlan10 member|--|switch port5 -802.1q vlan 10|--|plug wt.8021q (router/firewall)|--|switch port5 vlan70 member|----|switch port1-vlan70 member|---|Internal network - vlan70|
the logical layout for a proxy server will be
---internet--|switch port4->vlan10 member|-|switch port5 -802.1q vlan 10|--|plug wt.8021q (router/firewall)|--|switch port5 vlan50|----|switch port2-vlan50 member|--|DMZ1 - proxy server vlan50|
the logical layout for a mail server will be
---internet--|switch port4->vlan10 member|-|switch port5 -802.1q vlan 10|--|plug wt.8021q (router/firewall)|--|switch port5 vlan60|----|switch port3-vlan60 member|--|DMZ1 - proxy server vlan60|

I'm also working on setting up a router using plug (I live in Africa where power is an issue) and the 5watt can't be beat; especially when powering everything from solar. Anyway, I've found a plug that has two gigabit ethernet ports at:
I'll be pre-ordering mine (i think feb 28th) to see how well it handles net traffic. I was curious if anyone has seen other plugs with more than one rj-45 jack.

I use my plug as a firewall/router. I have a USB ethernet adapter for the second interface. I use ufw to manage the firewall. I also have a VPN to the office on the plug. Works just fine.
Hope that helps,

One option with two physical Ethernet ports is the OpenRD Client. It's the same CPU as in the Sheeva Plug, but with more of the built-in features available. You can't set it up exactly the same way as the Sheeva Plug and there isn't as much info available for it, but it is quite doable. (Of course, it costs more than a Plug!)
I just went through configuring my OpenRD Client this past weekend. It is now active as my home firewall, also set up to provide remote access via SSH and OpenVPN, DNS / DHCP, all the usual firewall functions. I even have a USB sound card plugged in and am streaming a scanner feed using darkice. CPU usage is around 12-13%.
I flashed it with a newer U-Boot from the Open-RD mailing list, then installed Debian Squeeze to a SDHC card using the Sheeva Plug instructions (only other difference is to use the correct arcNumber). Had to use tftp to do the U-Boot upgrade.
That's the ultra-short version, I have some notes I made along the way but they're not very coherent right now!

Yes, but the kernel supplied with Debian doesn't have a driver for it. I'll have to get patches to update the kernel and custom-compile, and I'm not set up for that yet. Had the USB sound card anyway, and it was plug-and-play!
Not sure if the drivers have made it into the kernel sources yet...

Let's consider $C(n,k)$ as newton symbol. Lucas Theorem states that $C(n,k)$ is divisable by prime $p$ if and only if at least one of the base $p$ digits of $k$ is greater than the corresponding digit of $n$.
But what if we have p non-prime? Is it only way to factorize it to $p_1^{a_1}, p_2^{a_2}....p_n^{a_n}$ and check if this relation is true for each $p_i$?
Is there any faster approach? Cheers

The phone has been running perfectly fine with iOS 5.1.1 and yet the moment I switch to iOS 6 I have started looking up applications to free-up memory. Obviously the OS is consuming more memory for internal tasks, but why exactly?
Is this a strategy from Apple or is there something wrong with the phone itself?
If other people are not seeing these results, what should I be looking at?
P.S.: I have more than 2GB free space and I keep the background clear of apps more than a few times per day.

I love it! She reminds me of Tatiana Tarasova (the grand dame of figure skating coaches)--she'll smother you with affection if you do well, but don't you dare make her mad!

I have Google Apps on my .us domain. I use Google Talk (via Pidgin or Empathy) all the time from my account. However, often my connection will flake out and I'll be disconnected, even though my network connection remains fine. This has happened in a variety of locations on a variety of computers.
However, far more troubling is that nobody can send me messages while I'm offline—instead of Google queuing them up for later, people just get XMPP errors. Not sure if the two are related. This seems to be a property of my Google Apps setup, and that scares me a little. What did I do wrong?
I haven't been able to find anything that might explain what's happening in either case. Is there any way I can debug what's going on here, especially for the offline messages generating XMPP errors issue? Both issues happen regardless of where I am or what client I'm using, so it seems that something in the cloud might be at fault. I don't know where to begin.
EDIT: The most troubling issue here is that I can't receive offline messages. I've edited for clarity.

You may have the best drums and cymbals money can buy, but without quality drum & percussion stands & racks to hold them in place, you're not going to have much luck playing them. Equally as important to the kit as the drums themselves, stand and racks are an absolute must from the jam space, to the stage and beyond. With so many drum & percussion stands & racks available in this section, you shouldn't have any trouble figuring out which ones are best for you. That said, having an idea of which types of stands and racks you need can go a long way in streamlining your selection process. For example, are you looking for a boom cymbal stand? If so, check out an option like the PDP P/D 700 Boom Cymbal Stand. This is a great, sturdy stand to keep your cymbals secure while you're performing.
Or maybe you're in the market for a hi-hat stand? If that's the case, you'll want to have a look at the DW 9500TB 2-Leg Hi-Hat Stand. This hi-hat stand is both precise and responsive. It also features a lateral cymbal seat, which allows instant adjustments of the bottom cymbal angle. If you're a serious performer, you're going to want your hi-hat sitting on the stand. If you're not in the market for a cymbal stand, but rather a snare drum stand, spend a little time with the PDP 800 Series Snare Drum Stand. This double-braced stand is built to stand up to even the most rigorous drumming. When you want to make absolutely certain that your snare is secure, this is definitely the right stand for you. And this is only scratching the surface when it comes to drum & percussion stands & racks. We've compiled a thorough assortment of gear in this section that will meet the needs of any player. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional drummer out on the road, these stands and racks will help you make sure that your set is always ready to play.

Meet the Seven Sea Turtle Species
There are seven species of sea turtles, which are marine reptiles that need to breathe air to survive. Six of the seven species are found in US waters, and the flatback turtle is only found in the Western Indo-Pacific. Most of their lives are spent at sea, with some species diving to depths of 3000 feet (900 meters). They return to the shore to lay eggs, often making long journeys to go to specific beaches year after year.
Their wide-reaching movement and the small amount of time they spend on land means that it is hard to measure just how many sea turtles remain, or how many there used to be. (One estimate is that millions of green sea turtles were in the Caribbean at the time of Christopher Columbus.) Now all six of the species found in US waters are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act, and those six are also found on the IUCN Red List where their listings range from Vulnerable to Critically Endangered. They have many human-induced threats including entanglement in fishing gear, marine debris, coastal habitat destruction, poaching of adults and eggs, and climate change.
There are sea turtle conservation successes, as well. Off the coast of Mexico, one community is hanging lights on their fishing nets so turtles can avoid them. They've found a 50 percent reduction in turtle catch at night, while the fish catch has actually gone up. Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) also help to prevent sea turtles from getting caught in shrimp trawling gear.
Green Turtle
Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) live in the warm coastal waters of tropical and subtropical oceans. Adults sometimes eat sponges, salps (floating jelly-like animals), and jellyfish, but they feed mostly on plants, like seagrass and algae. The pigment from this green diet colors their fat, giving them their common name. Populations of female nesting green sea turtles are estimated to have dropped by 48% to 65% in the past 100 to 150 years. However, recent studies show that marine protected areas are benefitting the turtles.

Kemp's Ridley Turtle
Kemp's ridley turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) are the smallest sea turtles, weighing only 100 lbs (45 kg). Adults spend most of their time in shallow coastal areas in places with mud, sand, or gravel bottoms—often in seagrass beds. They eat swimming crabs, jellyfish and a variety of mollusks. This picture shows a female returning to the sea after laying her eggs in the sandy beach.

Kemp's Ridley Nesting "Arribada"
Every year, at the same place and time, thousands of female Kemp's ridley sea turtles come ashore to nest and lay their eggs on the beach. This mass nesting event is known as an arribada, meaning "arrival by sea" in Spanish.
Toni Torres
Hawksbill Turtle
Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) are small to medium-sized turtles, but can get as large as 200 lbs (91 kg). Adults live among healthy coral reef communities, feeding primarily on sponges, but they also eat other invertebrates like sea cucumbers, tunicates (sea squirts), crabs, sea stars, and mollusks, as well as some algae.
Flickr user BarryFackler
Leatherback Turtle
Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are the largest sea turtles, growing as long as six and a half feet (2 m) and weighing some 2,000 pounds (900 kg). They're unlike the other marine turtles in two important ways: they have a thick leathery carapace (outer covering) instead of a hard bony shell, and can survive in colder waters, allowing them to feed closer to the North and South poles where other turtles can't survive. Their jaws are too weak to eat hard-bodied prey, so they mostly eat jellyfish and salps.

Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are named for their large heads and strong jaws, which allow them to eat prey with hard shells, like big marine snails. They live throughout the world's warm tropical and subtropical oceans. They live off-shore when they're young, and migrate closer to the coastline as they mature. Despite the decline in their populations around the world there is hope for further protection of these turtles through fisheries gear innovations and collaborations between scientists and governments.
Olive Ridley Turtle
Olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) are the smallest marine turtle, living in warm waters close to shore as adults. Female olive ridleys take part in mass nestings that can involve 150,000 individual turtles crawling up a beach at night to find a spot for their clutch of around 100 eggs.

Flatback Sea Turtle
Unlike the other six species of marine turtle, the Australian flatback (Natator depressus) has a very limited distribution, found only from northern Australia to Papua New Guinea/Indonesia and it only breeds in Australia. Flatback turtles tend to spend most of their time at the ocean's surface, often with a bird making use of their shell as a small landing space perfect for a break.
