A thermochemical storage system based on a SrO/SrCO₃ carbonation cycle offers the ability to store and release high temperature (≈1200 °C) heat. The energy density of SrCO₃/SrO systems supported by zirconia-based sintering inhibitors was investigated for 15 cycles of exothermic carbonation at 1150 °C followed by decomposition at 1235 °C. A sample with 40 wt % of SrO supported by yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) shows good energy storage stability at 1450 MJ m⁻³ over fifteen cycles at the same cycling temperatures. After further testing over 45 cycles, a decrease in energy storage capacity to 1260 MJ m⁻³ is observed during the final cycle. The decrease is due to slowing carbonation kinetics, and the original value of energy density may be obtained by lengthening the carbonation steps.

G.; Parekh, Sapun H. Dispersing hydrophilic nanofillers in highly hydrophobic polymer matrices is widely used to tune the mechanical properties of composite material systems. The ability to control the dispersion of fillers is closely related to the mechanical tunability of such composites. In this work, we investigate the physical–chemical underpinnings of how simple end-group modification to one end of a styrene–butadiene chain modifies the dispersion of silica fillers in a polymer matrix. Using surface-sensitive spectroscopies, we directly show that polymer molecular orientation at the silica surface is strongly constrained for silanol functionalized polymers compared to nonfunctionalized polymers because of covalent interaction of silanol with silica. Silanol functionalization leads to reduced filler aggregation in composites. The results from this study demonstrate how minimal chemical modifications of polymer end groups are effective in modifying microstructural properties of composites by inducing molecular ordering of polymers at the surface of fillers.

Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential agent of the innate immune system which exhibits multi-mechanistic antimicrobial activity. Previously, increased antimicrobial activity against E. coli with nitric oxide releasing nanoparticles (NO-np) was demonstrated when combined with glutathione, versus NO-np alone, due to formation of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a potent transnitrosylating agent. To capitalize on this finding, the thiol-containing ACE-inhibitor, captopril, was incorporated into the NO-np system to form SNO-CAP-nps, nanoparticles that can both release NO as well as form S-nitrosocaptopril. SNO-CAP-nps demonstrated sustained release of NO and GSNO production in the presence of GSH over time. Both E. coli and MRSA were highly susceptible to SNO-CAP-np in a dose-dependent fashion, with E. coli being highly sensitive, while demonstrating no toxicity when exposed to zebrafish embryos. Given the significance of E. coli in urosepsis, as well as the ability of nanotechnology to overcome biofilm formation, SNO-CAP-np may prove useful against catheter-associated urinary tract infection.

Cellulose is an abundant and renewable resource currently being investigated for utility in nanomaterial form for various promising applications ranging from medical and pharmaceutical uses to mechanical reinforcement and biofuels. The utility of nanocellulose and wide implementation ensures increasing exposure to humans and the environment as nanocellulose-based technologies advance. Here, we investigate how differences in aspect ratio and changes to surface chemistry, as well as synthesis methods, influence the biocompatibility of nanocellulose materials using the embryonic zebrafish. Investigations into the toxicity of neutral, cationic and anionic surface functionalities revealed that surface chemistry had a minimal influence on the overall toxicity of nanocellulose materials. Higher aspect ratio cellulose nanofibers produced by mechanical homogenization were, in some cases, more toxic than other cellulose-based nanofibers or nanocrystals produced by chemical synthesis methods. Using fluorescently labeled nanocellulose we were able to show that nanocellulose uptake did occur in embryonic zebrafish during development. We conclude that the benign nature of nanocellulose materials makes them an ideal platform to systematically investigate the inherent surface features driving nanomaterial toxicity in order to create safer design principles for engineered nanoparticles.

Kathy Conrad has begun work as the new principal deputy associate administrator of the General Services Administration's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, the agency announced May 9.
Conrad will help oversee operations to enhance federal data and services to the public, and she will facilitate federal agencies' adoption of new technologies for improved performance and reduced costs.
"Kathy Conrad is a great addition to the GSA leadership team as we work to identify and apply new technologies to make government operations more effective and create excellence in customer service," said David McClure, associate administrator of the innovative technologies office.
Conrad said May 10 the GSA job provides her with the opportunity to continue advancing government IT as an enabler. "This job and office represent an amalgam of the issues I have been committed to -- including promoting government IT as an enabler, not as an end in itself," Conrad said in an interview with Federal Computer Week.
Conrad formerly was senior vice president of Jefferson Consulting Group, where she led the firm's federal marketing and business consulting practice. In 2010, she and McClure were co-chairs of the American Council for Technology/Industry Advisory Council's Executive Leadership Conference. Conrad also was vice chairwoman of TechAmerica's Federal IT Dashboard Task Group.
Conrad was honored as a Federal 100 award winner by Federal Computer Week in March.

It's a very good dock station, the sound is excellent but because it' the first generation there are little technical problem.My first one I had problem interfering sound while I was listening to the music,so I return it and order a second one.My second one had a problem with the plug it' goes on and off very often.
Customer review by mother0000002012
I was skeptical about getting this without being able 2 hear it this was a gift for my 13yr old son. This was the best decision i made though, the price was perfect and the sound and capabilitys of this product are great. my 16yr old niece now wants 1 for her iPod

button disappeared since upgrade Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Hi, I've been using this great addon for several months, very happy with it (even though it could be improved by letting choose which requests to unblock), but since a recent upgrade (Firefox 45 on Fedora 23/64 I think), I can't see the button/icon anymore. Any clue ?
We appreciate the heads-up on this. We do have a new extension that combines the protection from our Facebook, Google and Twitter Disconnect extensions and adds more tracker blocking and customization. In this extension, you can block and unblock requests and whitelist an entire webpage. You can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disconnect/

「Facebook」による tracking を防止するために、"特化した機能" です。 Rated 5 out of 5 stars
「投稿者: Jantje - May 8, 2015 」のReviewに同意します。
しかしながら Review と評価が不当なほどに低く、また利用者も少ないことが残念です。
Facebook-Disconnect は、「Facebook」による tracking を防止するために、"特化した機能" です。
この付加機能は、クロスサイト・リクエスト(ウェブサイトに複合的に仕組まれた巧妙な個人情報収集手段)を利用するなどして、Facebook社が "個人情報の収集" をしているウェブサイトを default(規定)で切断をします。そのため、目的のウェブサイトとの接続も不能になることがあります。「切断」実行時には、ステータスバーの右側に "青いアイコン" が表示されます。接続を許可する場合には、そのアイコンを Click して、プルダウンメニュー内に表示される「Facebook-requests」の項を Click(接続/切断)すれば、サイトとの接続(切断)が行えます。
この付加機能は、厄介なクロスサイト・リクエストに潜ませた Facebook 社の tracking を 「探知」し、「切断」し、「警告」してくれます。大変有意義で、出色の付加機能です。機能が絞り込まれているうえ、十分に設計された作品なので、確実に機能し、しかも至極シンプルです。
「Google、Facebook、Twitter」は、サービス利用者の "閲覧履歴や様々な個人情報" を狡猾なほどに、巧妙に収集(Tracking)していることは周知の事実です。Google社を中心として、Facebook社、Twitter社、広告会社、通販会社などがネットワークを構成し、収集した個人情報を共有し、活用していることが明らかになっています。その問題点を認識した上で、(Google、Facebook、Twitter などの)利用の必要性を判断すべきと忠告します。
A contributor agree to "Jantje - May 8, 2015" Review.
However, They are low so that Review and an evaluation are unfair, and I am sad.
It is thought that there are the misunderstanding for the function, lack of understanding.
Facebook-Disconnect is "the function is specialized" to prevent tracking by "Facebook".
Facebook company does it using a "CSR"(cross site request : skillful means to collect personal information contrived compositely in the website) and doing "collection of personal information".
default(rule) of this addition function disconnect it.
Therefore the objective connection with the website may become impossible, too. If "Disconnect" was carried out, "a blue icon" is displayed on the right side of the status bar. If Click does the icon when you admit connection, and Click (Connection / Disconnect ) does a clause of "Facebook-requests" displayed within a pull-down menu, you can perform the Connection (Disconnect ) with the site.
This addition function performs "Detection" of Tracking by Facebook company that are hidden behind in CSR(cross site request). and "Disconnect", and makes "Warning". It is very significant and is excellent addition function. Because a function is simplification and is a work designed enough, it functions surely. Besides, it is quite simple.
"Google, Facebook, Twitter" are cunning and it is a well-known fact skillfully to collect "a reading history and various personal information" of the service user.
Led by Google Corporation, Facebook company, Twitter company, an advertising agency, a mail-order firm constitute a network and share the personal information that they collected, and what they utilize becomes clear.You advise that you should judge the need of those use after having recognized the problems (such as Google, Facebook, Twitter).
No good Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Causes problems on various websites, namely comments won't show up.
works like a charm for me Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Some people complain they cannot log-in to certain websites while having this active. I never had any problem with that but you can switch off this add-on per website and that should resolve it. It warns you with an icon when you visit a website that does use facebook(tracking) and I love this little add-on
HuffPost comments blocked Rated 4 out of 5 stars
great product, but since the integration of Facebook to Huff Post, comments are blocked!
Does not work ! Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Definitely does not work , this morning I received an email from clearly.com and I visited the website to check some prices. This afternoon I log onto Facebook and presto there is an add on the rhs from the website "Clearly.com.au" I have the screenshot .
I also double checked that the add-on was selected to run . so much for no tracking lol , waste of time !
Actually I also noticed it has the ebay adds , I visited ebay as well.
Facebook Disconnect Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Seems to work as advertised. How ever after the add-on I receive an unusual amount of tracking cookies and have to clear them at least 3 times a day. Before I was clearing cookies no more that once a month.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It's ok. Rated 5 out of 5 stars
As far as I can see it works as intended and blocks the Facebook on websites. If a website login for example is tied to Facebook then you'll be unable to login as expected. It will prevent Facebook from recording your behaviour on a website to their archives. And when you visit a website where the article comments are tied to Facebook comments you'll be unable to see the comments, again, just as expected. I pretty much recommend this based on the fact that Facebook is a cancer that has infiltrated to so many websites that I cannot even keep count of it any more. I want some privacy.
Be-ware: Probably written by FB Rated 1 out of 5 stars
would not be surprised if this was written by FB employee. Beware of these FB only blockers... Disconnect gets all up inside your computer and snoops around, will not get out of your browser. Disconnect is probably owned by FB and collects information on you, following you around the internet like FB anyway. NO NO.
Facebook opt out email site/connected email Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Gmail sign in unto mozilla thunderbird
totally useless Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Where to begin:
- Makes FF very slow
- Prevents lots of websites for being loaded, some website simply don't load at all
- Unable to login at multiple websites
So 2 stars for the effort. Thnx but I had to delete your addon.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
A very, very Must Have Add-on
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is the same review I gave to Face Book Purity ... if you don't know about that App, be sure to check it out!! If Facebook weren't so darn handy as a social tool, I would have ditched them long ago. I hate the bastards for their invasive snooping and gorilla marketing tactics. Not to mention the fact that they are tightly interlaced with Government spying and corporate control strategies (not that there's ever any real escape from any of that). Anything or anybody who can put a dent in their maniacal and "anti-social" personality type behaviors is a King in my book. Onward brave soldiers and thank you!!
prevents sign-in on pcworld.com Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Good idea and good add-on. But while Facebook Disconnect 2.1.3 is enabled, I can't login to pcworld.com. All their social media icons are missing on the login overlay, which I understand, and of course I can't login using my facebook id. But the problem is that I can't even login using my pcworld.com ID which should be independent of facebook or the others. I looked at support site but I'm not willing to register there to post on the forum so I had no choice but to post this yere.
must have Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very useful
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Hi if I have addon DoNotTrackMe and/or Adblock that mean I don´t need to install this addon?
I can't see that this add-on does anything at all. Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I've NEVER seen the blue icon in my location bar. I've NEVER seen the red icon for Google Disconnect, and I've NEVER seen the icon for Twitter Disconnect either. No evidence whatsoever that these add-ons do anything. I've disabled them all, for now. If I'm wrong, please explain what I'm missing, and describe how I (and everyone) can determine whether or not your add-ons are working.
You're wrong :-)
But I'm sorry I missed your comment till now and thanks for writing. Here's why:
The reason the Facebook Disconnect icon wasn't showing up for you is that you're running (or were) some other filtering add-on, like an ad blocker. The way Firefox works is that filtering add-ons get to filter requests in the order the add-ons are installed.
If you install Some Facebook-Blocking Add-on (SFBA) before you install Facebook Disconnect, SFBA will block Facebook requests, the requests will never go through Facebook Disconnect, and the icon won't show up. On the other hand, if you install Facebook Disconnect before you install SFBA, Facebook Disconnect will block Facebook requests, the icon will show up, and the requests will never go through SFBA.
I hope that's the explanation you were looking for (and it'd be swell if you updated your review!).

Bumming around Palma
Spent a day wandering around Palma... The city is quite large, and so I stuck mostly to the old areas of 'tourist' interest. There are churches, a cathedral, plazas and museums all over the place, but being there on a Sunday meant that I was limited in what I could see and do. Many thinks remain lose forgave reduced hours on Sundays, something that seems to be less common in North America but still prevalent in many other places. Being that I prefer architecture over spending ...
Can't ditch the last bike day!
... up touring over 250m of elevation climbing the reverse route from the mountain climbing day I missed a few days previous. Stunning views, more interesting switchbacks and road maneuvering, a nice way to end rides. Stayed at the hotel in Palma Nova for the afternoon, taking advantage of the pool and a last dinner with the WCCC folks before they headed out early the next morning and I headed to Palma for my day in the 'big ...

You'd think with the location that there isn't much to really push you over the figurative edge, but with a nagging knee and my back acting up on the last climb, not to mention the multiple and rapid descents that absolutely scare the **** out of me, the thought ...
The Cake Route

Nor would I likely have been able to out-ride some of the speed demons that are in the group to maintain possession of this prize for long once we were back out on the ...

Mail-Order Brides
I am conducting research on mail-order brides and am looking for scholarly work on the topic. So far, the only scholarly piece that I have found was Marcia Zug's Buying a Bride: An Engaging History of Mail-Order Matches. I have come across other books regarding mail-order brides, but given spotty citations, I don't find them to be particularly reliable. I have had success in finding information on picture brides (and am still open to more), but I am particularly interested in information on domestic mail-order brides.
Thank you for your help,

The main problem with this information is the misrepresentation of labels. I don't necessarily believe or disbelieve in "soul" traps but I do see what could be another twisted corruption to trick people.
What is being called "soul" here is what I would call the energy body. What I would call "soul" is what others call "spirit". Anyway, that's not really the point.
When the spirit takes on a physical body, the interaction creates the energy body (what is called soul here). This energy body is no more YOU than the physical body. There is no technology that can entrap YOU. It may be able to entrap the energy body (soul) that is created by your interaction in the physical/energy realms. I don't know if it can or not. But it doesn't matter. You are beyond this physical realm and the realm above this.
The idea of "connecting with your soul" may be bad advice because then your awareness/spirit will believe itself to be this soul (energy body) as many people believe themselves to be a physical human. If an AI wants your soul (energy body) so be it. That energy is not YOU. You are beyond the aliens, the AI and all their traps. The only thing they can do against you is to get you to believe their lies.
Their only true weapon is lies. They want to keep your spirit/awareness trapped because that's what creates the energy they feed on. Of course, this soul trap thing may just be another lie to produce fear energy. Who knows. But if you truly know yourself there's nothing in all of creation that can trap you.

Thank you! Very Powerfull words. Thanks for reminding!

Anonymous Coward 1306723
He speaks ignorance!
If i place a bear trap outside your doorstep and conceal it good so you'll not notice and step on it as soon you exit the door, be grateful for the ones that will warn you in advance!
this guy tries to say
"hey don't listen to these people that try to warn you about dangers you're not aware about, nothing can hurt you just go back to sleep the bear trap outside your door even if it exists and you step on it it cannot hurt you so you can step on it without fear cause that's what people like the OP do they promote fear by warning you about things that if you had done some research you would have known already and by the way the fear the OP might cause you with his warnings is nothing like the fear you'll get after you get caught in the traps"
imagine you're a bear caught in a bear trap the fear you'll be feeling until the killer finds you to slaughter you, if you need a little fear to stay away from dangers is good.
Use everything in your inventory to your advantage unless you're a dummy you'll get burn, fear is like fire if you know how to use it it can help you out with a lot of things if you don't know how to use it it will burn you.
Knowledge saves you, ignorance kills you.
Lastly be careful of the agents that will try to put you back to sleep! the guys above are a perfect example!

Xbox One Preview members can play Halo Wars today
It's members only.
Xbox One Preview Members: Halo Wars will be playable in PREVIEW via Back Compat later today (under Ready To Install) pic.twitter.com/Dm8wTWkJGa
— Larry Hryb (@majornelson) March 17, 2016
Major Nelson tweeted out the announcement earlier today.
If you're an Xbox One Preview member, you'll be able to give Halo Wars a whirl later today thanks to the backwards compatibility feature. You can find it under the 'ready to install' menu.
A few more backwards compatible tiles were released for Xbox One yesterday, including Alan Wake, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Other upcoming games for this feature include BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite – although if rumours are to be believed, we can expect to see the BioShock Collection for Xbox One, PS4, and PC soon.

Gonna use pseudo names to protect privacy.
My code is this:

where url is something like:
I'm using AWS S3 Query String Request Authentication Alternative to download the file.
I load an activity which downloads the image and shows the bitmap in an ImageView.
For the first time, it loads fine and there is a bitmap.
For the second time, it loads and I get null.
For the third time, it loads fine and there is a bitmap.
For the fourth time, it loads and I get null.
This alternating behavior is very consistent. Anyone experienced this before and knows what is happening?
I've tried it with a bucket with a no holds barred policy where you can do a direct download without authentication and it works all the time.

Mining Publication: Testing and Evaluation of an Inflatable Temporary Ventilation Control Device
Original creation date: February 2009
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in partnership with Strata Products tested the sealing capability of Ventstop® as part of an ongoing mine fire control and suppression research program. Ventstop® is a multi-purpose, inflatable device that is produced by Minvent Solutions and is available world wide for use in the metal and nonmetal mining industry. Ventstop® is also used in the Australian coal industry as a temporary ventilation control device. The device can be quickly deployed, is reusable and can be placed in horizontal and vertical mine voids to control dust, fumes and smoke. Deployment, multi-day inflation and air leakage tests were conducted at the NIOSH Lake Lynn Laboratory to determine the capability and limitations of Ventstop® in a simulated coal mine setting. During the tests, Ventstop® was also subjected to low level forces of a nearby methane gas ignition. It is thought that Ventstop® could be used by the US coal mining industry to temporarily close an underground mine area in response to a fire or spontaneous combustion heating event, to temporarily redirect mine ventilation during longwall equipment moves or during stopping construction. This paper describes this inflatable temporary mine sealing technology and presents the results of the NIOSH tests.

I got this from a friend who tells me he got the show from the guy mixing sound for the show. Unfortunately he doesn't know the guy's name at this point. It's definitely a soundboard recording, don't know for sure what it was recorded on. I'm assuming DAT. The mix is a bit off at the start of the show (heavy on the vocals, very little bass and guitar) but gets a lot better as the show goes on. The cd-r I recieved had only three tracks so I retracked it with cd wave.
Known flaws:
There's a gap at the end of the first set and after the first encore. The volume gets quite a bit louder during the first encore as well.
retracked by Sam Sacharoff (email@example.com) - 10/05
seeded to http://somesongs.net 10/05
special thanks to Steven Bechtold
and the unknown guy mixing sound for the show.
Please check out my Elliott Smith archive at www.trashtreasury.com for shows that haven't made their way onto the archive yet.

So I would like to know if there is any parents who have pre teen and teenagers on this sight and how they are doing! we here alot about babies and toddlers but i think it would be interesting and helpful to see whats happening at that age just curious thanks.
Comments (10)
I would be happy to share with you a little about my daughter. She is 12yrs old and has L4-L5 myleomeningocele, shunted hydrocephalus, neurogenic bowel and bladder, and scoliosis. Do you have any paticular questions? She does really well. She is mainstreamed in school but does recieve special ed for math. That is very very common for kids with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus. She is very well accepted by her peers and has lots of friends. She plays the clarinet in the band. That was difficult for her at first because she is very sensitive to loud noises but loves it! She caths every 3 hours and remains dry in between (she is able to wear underwear). She walks with loftstrand and uses a wheelchair for long distances. What kind of spina bifida does you child have? Is she shunted? Does she have a neurogenic bowel and bladder? That can make a difference too. I hope that answers some of your questions. If you have more please let me know! Just remember all kids with spina bifida are different but yet similar
Thanks for asking this question! My son Caleb is 6 and I have a hard time finding kids that are older than him. I love hearing about/reading about/seeing older kids and teenagers with SB. It really encourages me :). Thanks Suzy for telling us about your daughter!
Caleb (9 years old) SB, Benjamin (6)
Suzy, thanks for sharing about your daughter! That is very hopeful.
For the most part, we don't have a whole lot of parents of older kids on here. A good place to find them is on the SBA list serv, or on the United by Spina Bifida facebook group.
Nate, 9 (Spina Bifida, fetal surgery)
Georgia, 6
Bo, 3
Thanks for sharing i have 4 children and my youngest daughter is only 2months old with a L3/L4 MYLEO she is not shunted and not cathed and moves everything but her little toes and feet! i was just curious because one day she will be a teenager and just wondering!!!!! that is outstanding she is doing so well! i just havnt heard very much about older children so thanks for sharing! thanks colleen for letting me know where to look!!! anyhow i was just curious as i think alot of us are!!
You guys are so welcome! There was never support groups like this when my daughter was little. Spina bifida is so rare that it is hard to connect with other families in your own community. My daughter is the only child in our school district and has been for 10 years with spina bifida. She actually just did a huge project in her 6th grade class on it! She really got into and so did her class. None of her teachers really know anything about it as well. It was a great learning expierence into her world! We are so proud of her! She likes to share her story and is not afraid to talk about it! These kids truely amaze me and inspire me everyday!
Your daughter sounds like she is doing awesome! Carolyn has feeling down to her mid calf and is not able to move her ankles or toes. However she had a tethered cord surgery 2 mos ago and I swear she has regained some feeling that she never had before. So all in all that surgery was a success. That is so great your daughter does not have a shunt (that is one less thing to worry about)! Carolyn has only had 2 shunt revisions and has the same tubing she got when she was 2mos old!
wow sounds amazing!! i hope when my daughter is that old she will want to share her spina bifida stories too!!! because like you said no one in are small community has really ever heard of spina bifida and know nothing about it!! as us mothers 12 years old is very active and social in school i have a 12year old boy with no spina bifida and i see whats going on in his life so thats why i was curious! so she got her shunt when she was 2months and has had the same tubing that is truly amazing!! keep us posted on her progress!!!! and what is the tethered cord? does it mean that she is growing and her spine wasnt? so what does she say about having little to no feeling in her ankles or toes ? and when she was little did she walk with some sort of brace device? i appreciate any feedback thanks again!!!
She got her first shunt at birth and had it revised when she was 2mos old! He only replaced the catheter when she was 7yrs old! We actually live in a suburb of St Paul, MN! Most kids with myelo have tethered cords. It is when the spinal cord is attached to the scar that was closed at birth. The spinal cord is being stretched. Most kids have tethered cords but not all show symptoms. If a kid is tethered and not showing symptoms they don't do anything. It is a surgery that is very well thought out. It took a year of tests and the wait and see game before he would operate. She had some leg weakness on the right side, back pain on the closure site, and she developed scoliosis. She had and has again tibial torsion (tibia rotates in) that was caused by the tethered cord. Her ortho dr said now that her back is fixed her the surgery to fix her right leg will work!!! She is really excited to have since walking has become difficult. She had surgery in November on her back. Since she was in the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks and didn't start walking until about 3 weeks post op. I do have to say that Carolyn has recieved amazing care since the day she was born. Since the end of December she has started with her crutches again. She started wearing braces before the age of 1. She started using a walker at around 2 and crutches around 3. She got her first wheelchair when she was 2 1/2. She doesn't really say much about not feeling them. Since it is all she has never known she doesn't really say a lot about that. There are times that she will say that she wants to be normal and walk like other kids. I would say 95% of the time she it doesn't bother her. Once is awhile when she gets an IV placed in the ankle she will feel it. It is bitter sweet. It sounds weird but because there is little feeling Carolyn asks them to put them there. Her bladder has honestly been the biggest challenge. Within the past 2-3 years it has been great (knock on wood) :) Spina bifida is such a complex birth defect!!
well thanks again and GOD BLESS your family and we live in sothern california!! so she does go to public school???
Yes she goes to a public school. There are so many more resources here in Minnesota than there is in the private schools. She has been going to the same school for 10 years (that includes preschool). I dream about your warm weather for about 6 months out of the year! lol Especially when it is -30 below zero and a foot of snow :)
haha ya we are thankful for the weather here too!! thats so good she goes to public school!!! are little school goes up to 8th grade then they go to highschool!! so hopefully when time she will be able to do public school too!!!

Loon count gauges health of birdJuly 26,2014Loon count gauges
health of bird
Experts estimate there are nearly 300 adult loons living on Vermonts lakes and ponds, up from just a couple dozen 30 years ago.
Last week, more than 200 volunteers spread out across Vermont for the annual loon survey.
The results of the survey are trickling in, but Eric Hanson of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies and the coordinator of the Vermont Loon Conservation Project, said there are many more birds now than just a few years ago.
He said 15 years ago there were around 100 loons and in 1983 biologists counted only 29.
Hanson told Vermont Public Radio that 300 birds is a decent, stable population.
He said that in north-central and northeastern Vermont, almost every large lake has loons on it.MORE IN This Just InMore than 26,000 people were without power when severe thunderstorms rolled through the state in... Full Story

The Butterfly Farm
Here you can walk around with butterflies flying all around you and watch them feast on slices of fruit put out on special tables for them. You can also reptiles and other animals. The indoor insects and spiders enclosure is also great. Only takes about 45min to walk around the whole thing but is worth it anyway.

Opened in 1986 the Butterfly Farm provides an opportunity for visitors to be surrounded by butterflies at close hand as they walk through the tropical plants. The covered farm contains thousands of butterflies, there are insects & reptiles there too.
The farm has a web site which gives lots of information about the place & its activities.
Address: Teluk Bahang

Te Butterfly loves you....
if you wear some very bright multicolored clothings... eg colorful batiks,
they'll literally swamp you, and will not leave you even if you blow them away....
and you can walk out of the farm with 'em still stuck on you.
I think that wouldn't constitute butter-napping them from the farm,
afterall, it's them who's not letting you go.....

well worth the drive to experience not only magnificent butterflys but amazing plant life too. make sure you allow some browsing time for the shop as the displays are great(not just butterflys). we hired a driver and stopped at the batik factory, on to the butterfly farm and then the fruit farm. a leisurely morning before hitting the shops in town again

Only a small place, but so very worth a visit. Children will love it, it was one of the highlights of the holiday for my younger daughter.
Great to to see butterflies in all their stages of development. Even adults have to be thrilled at the amount of butterflies that will land on heads, shoulders and bodies!!
We were not charged for taking in the camera, as another visitor has reported on her blog.I suspect it may depend on who is on the reception at the time!!
It can get very humid in there, so take plenty of water.
If my surly teenager can enjoy this excursion, I reckon any one can!!

Popular Butterfly Enclosure
Penang Butterfly Farm is one of the best I have seen. Local butterfly species are grown from eggs, caterpillars, cocoon into live butterfly can be seen in glass cages. There are fruits and sugary liquids, where many butterflies flocked to. You can get a butterfly landing on your shoulder.
Also enclosures of leaf insects, stick insects and scorpions. There are iguanas and lizards and frogs. The colorful wings of Yellow Birdwing, Jezebel, Swallow tail, etc flying here and there in the giant aviary is a sight to behold.
There is a small gallery of butterflies around the world, the largest, the most shining, the poisonous and how mimicry and morphism happens. Also a souvenir shop selling framed butterflies, key chains of encapsulated scorpions and painting made of butterfly wings. Yikes.

Beautiful Delicate Butterflies
We visited the Butterfly Farm in Teluk Bahang, Penang, a sanctuary for over 120 species of rare and exotic tropical butterflies. The farm is complete with a hatchery and a "Preserved Butterflies of the World" museum.
The farm is home to up to 3,000 living specimens of over 50 species of colourful and charming butterflies. Situated on an area of eight hectares, it is the world's first tropical live butterfly farm. Apart from the butterflies, there are also frogs, fishes, and other insects here living in their natural habitat. The beauty of the place is enhanced by a lily pond, a rock garden, and artificial waterfalls. Other attractions at the farm include a breeding area, laboratory, exhibition area, souvenir shops and an information centre.
While I was looking at the preserved butterflies, I found a beautiful butterfly with my name on it (see picture); and it's in blue color, one of my favorite colors.
You can read more about the Butterfly from this website:
Address: Teluk Bahang
Directions: Hin Bus No 93 (catch it at Lebuh Chulia) runs from Georgetown all the way along the north coast of the island as far as Teluk Bahang. This butterfly farm is only one kilometre walk south from the bus stop in Teluk Bahang.

Stone look alike????
You may stop to see other living creature in the aquarium and just pass a glance towards this huuuuuuuuuuuge 'stone'.
Thats what I thought until I read the signage near the aquarium. What u see here is called Alligator Snapper which comes from the fresh water turtle family.
The next ic shows when it strecth its neck for air I presume.... Unique & interesting creature. Dont miss to check her babies in the small aquarium. The angle was not right for me to take a shot of them.

'Flowers' that fly......
At first glance you may pass them as flowers flowing down from the pot hanging above.
Even when ppl start taking pictures near it, u may still be wondering what so unique about the flowers!!!
When u look closer, they are not flowers but moth. Plenty of them are seen 'landed' on the hanging leafs. Look for them when u visited Penang Butterfly farm.
The most moth seen are on the plant near the snakes aquarium before the 'Hide & Seek' Garden

Colourfuls insects that fly!
Its called butterfly. Plenty and colourful butterflies can be seen here at Penang Butterfly Farm. Depending on the traffic going towards Feringghi Beach, from the town it may take about an hour to reach Teluk Bahang.
Putting it as the top itinerary of the day is good, as you need good sunlight to capture this beautiful creature. Depending on your interest you may spend more than 3 hours in the farm alone as you cant stop pressing your camera button.
Guilty as charge that it was me who spent more than 3 hours in the farm. Simply irresistable!
Address: Teluk Bahang
Directions: As you reach the roundabout in Teluk Bahang small town take the 9 o-clock junction. Drive straight & the farm is on your left about 3-4 km ahead.

Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squidby Wendy Williams (2)
View All Available Formats & Editions
Kraken is the traditional name for gigantic sea monsters, and this book introduces one of the most charismatic, enigmatic, and curious inhabitants of the sea: the squid. The pages take the reader on a wild narrative ride through the world of squid science and adventure, along the way addressing some riddles about what intelligence is, and what monsters lie in
Kraken is the traditional name for gigantic sea monsters, and this book introduces one of the most charismatic, enigmatic, and curious inhabitants of the sea: the squid. The pages take the reader on a wild narrative ride through the world of squid science and adventure, along the way addressing some riddles about what intelligence is, and what monsters lie in the deep. In addition to squid, both giant and otherwise, Kraken examines other equally enthralling cephalopods, including the octopus and the cuttlefish, and explores their otherworldly abilities, such as camouflage and bioluminescence. Accessible and entertaining, Kraken is also the first substantial volume on the subject in more than a decade and a must for fans of popular science.
Praise for KRAKEN: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid
"Williams writes with a deft, supple hand as she surveys these spindly, extraordinary beasts and their world. She reminds us that the known world might be considerably larger than in the days of the bestiary-makers, but there is still room for wonder and strangeness."
-Los Angeles Times.com
"Williams's account of squid, octopuses, and other cephalopods abounds with both ancient legend and modern science."
"[Exposes squid's] eerie similarities to the human species, down to eye structure and the all-important brain cell, the neuron."
-New York Post
"just the right mix of history and science"
-ForeWord Reviews
"Kraken is an engaging and expansive biography of a creature that sparks our imagination and stimulates our curiosity. It's a perfect blend of storytelling and science."
-Vincent Pieribone, author of Aglow in the Dark
KRAKEN extracts pure joy, intellectual exhilaration, and deep wonder from the most unlikely of placessquid. It is hard to read Wendy Williams's luminous account and not feel the thrill of discovery of the utterly profound connections we share with squid and all other living things on the planet. With wit, passion, and skill as a storyteller, Williams has given us a beautiful window into our world and ourselves. Neil Shubin, author of the national bestseller "Your Inner Fish"
Wendy William's KRAKEN weaves vignettes of stories about historical encounters with squid and octopus, with stories of today's scientists who are captivated by these animals. Her compelling book has the power to change your world-view about these creatures of the sea, while telling the gripping, wholly comprehensible story of the ways in which these animals have changed human medical history.

This book is very enjoyable. It goes into depth about many interesting traits of cephlapods. The one thing i would reccomend before deciding to purchase this book is to really enjoy it you should have a strong scientific background and be interested in the nervous system. I loved this book because it caused me to call on information that I had not thought about in years. It was also nice to read about the curent research going on that I thought was neglected when I was studying it.
Absolutely suited for would-be scientists of any age, this book is a great introduction to cephalopods. Lest you think you are not interested, consider this: as ocean temperatures rise and salinity changes, giant Humboldt squid are being found in huge numbers much farther north than ever before and have beached themselves as they did in Monterey Bay in 1992. Humboldt squid can reach up to 6 feet in length and weigh up to 100 pounds, and have a dangerous reputation for eating men alive, were one to fall from a boat into schooling squid. While "eating men alive" is probably untrue, their tentacles have teeth and barbs, and some divers find their wet suits punctured and blood drawn. The brain of squid is extremely complex and distributed in their arms: their tentacles operate with lightening-fast speed & independently of each other. But Humboldts have nothing on the colossal squid, which can reach 40-50 feet in length and have eyeballs as big as human heads. Fishermen of old used to tell stories of squid swallowing whole ships, or trying to. While the stories are discounted as mere tales, there is no denying the sheer brainpower and extraordinary abilities of enormous cephalopods operating in water. Wendy Williams briefly introduces us to famous octopi who have lived in some aquariums and talks a little about cuttlefish, which have a bone structure so light and yet so strong that materials scientists are using the principles learned from cuttlefish to build land structures. Until recently colossal squid have not been photographed in their feeding environment because of their extraordinary speed, evasion techniques, and the depth of their dives. But a Japanese scientist made headline news with his film of a colossal squid feeding in 2005. Photos and links are included in the book to view landmarks in our understanding of these mysterious and ingenious creatures.
I enjoy popular science books, but this reads like a high school term paper. Couldn't finish it.
