12.13: Rynchops niger: Black Skimmer
Common Name
- Black Skimmer
The black skimmer is a common bird found mostly on coasts. These birds are medium sized. They range from 15-20 inches and weigh about 15 oz. They are commonly known for their big red bill and red-orange legs that have webbed feet. Their top bill is longer than the bottom bill so that they skim along water to catch food, hence its name black skimmer.
The complete taxonomic classification is:
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Chordata
- Class: Aves
- Order: Charadriiformes
- Family: Rynchopidge
- Genus: Rynchops
- Species: R. niger
Black skimmers have a wide range of places they live. They are commonly found on the east and west coasts of South America and southern North America. Since they live on the coast, they make a home on sandy shores, shallow bays, or at public beaches.
Cell Biology
The black skimmer has many eukaryotic cells. Just like every other eukaryotic cell, they have many organelles inside. One of these organelles is the mitochondria, which is the ¨power plant¨ of the cell where sugar is burned for energy. There are other very important organelles such as the vacuoles, which act as a storage center, the nucleus that contains genetic information about how to build thousands of proteins, and the ribosomes, which are non-membrane bound organelles that produce proteins.
Some cells need to grow and divide. This process is called cell division, and this happens when a cell is repairing tissue, embryos are growing, and for any growth. Mitosis is when the nucleus divides, and each new cell contains a copy of the DNA of the original cell. Meiosis is a form of cell division in which the cell divides to produce gametes with one half of the chromosomes of the parent cell. Chromosomes contain the cell's DNA.
The black skimmer is a bird that evolved from bipedal dinosaurs, theropods. Theropods are similar to Deinonychus, which was discovered in the 1960s and was a very important discovery. Deinonychus is an extinct dinosaur that was a predatory carnivore. It lived in North America 110 million years ago, and had bird-like features. These bird-like features consisted of having feathers, wings, and clawed feet.
Scientist are still not sure how wings and flight evolved, but they do have some hypotheses. Some believe that wings were modified arms to help animals jump higher. Others think that it came from ancestors who lived in trees.
Black skimmers prey on shrimp and small crustaceans. They have a wide variety of predators. Here is a list of their known predators:
- black-crowned night herons
- boat-tailed grackles
- common grackles
- fish crow
- red-winged blackbirds
- thief ants
- mound building ants
- pavement ants
- great horned owls
- short eared owls
- ruddy turnstones
- peregrine falcons
- marsh hawks
- Norway rats
- domestic cats
- domestic dogs
- gray squirrel
- minks
- long-tailed weasels
- striped skunks
- raccoons
- red foxes
These birds' egg-laying process lasts about eight days. Their clutch size is about four to five eggs. They are able to mate when 48 months (male) and 36 months (female) old. Black skimmers usually mate during the end of April until early September.
Anatomy and Physiology
This bird has a four-chambered heart that delivers oxygen for a high metabolism. They also have two respiratory cycles, unlike mammals, who have one. The first cycle is to inhale air in posterior air sacs, then exhale from posterior sacs. The second cycle is when the air is inhaled from the lungs to anterior air sacs, then exhaled from anterior air sacs. These cycles happen at the same time and help remove extra body heat during flight. The black skimmer has three parts in their digestive system: the crop, gizzard, proventriculus. The crop is a food storage for later processing or feeding nestlings. The gizzard is a posterior muscular stomach. Its basic task is to grind food. The proventriculus is an anterior glandular stomach that makes gastric acid and digestive enzymes. Most birds, including the black skimmer, lack in having a good sense of smell, but their vision and hearing are good. The black skimmer is also the only bird whose pupil has a narrow vertical slit that protects eyes from sun, sand, and water during the day.
The black skimmer hunts for their food at night by skimming along the water until they catch something. One of their interesting characteristics is that they never dive or swim in water because they can't. These birds are very social and associate with other black skimmers during the day. Most of the time these birds try to stay in group living so they can avoid predation. Both sexes attend to their eggs during the incubation period. The black skimmers are also monogamous, and the male protects his mates.

I sympathise with the sigh... Falko's right, we must have read about those httpd virtual host warnings hundreds of times now!

All of the answers are here if you look for them... This is superb software and a fantastic community, thank you guys!
I would be more than happy to do this, RSInfotech. Will you please point me to the first forums posting for this question?
My case in point: simply search for 'virual hosts', there are lots of posts about it, it's even discussed in the sticky for 18.104.22.168. but ultimately, it isn't even an issue! Most people seem to have noticed this since the latest upgrade but I've been running ISPConfig on a CentOS server since 2008 with these warnings and it isn't an issue...

Harvey 1 hit, 10 Ks in 7 innings, Mets top PadresBy HOWIE RUMBERG , Associated Press
Apr. 3, 2013 11:23 PM ET
NEW YORK (AP) — An icy wind was whipping off Flushing Bay and many of the Mets and Padres were bundled up, yet there was Matt Harvey firing pinpoint fastballs with ease — all while wearing an undershirt with sleeves that barely covered his elbows. New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey throws in the first inning of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, April 3, 2013, in New York. (AP Photo/Peter Morgan)
Yeah, he's one cool kid. The 24-year-old with little concern for the elements allowed one hit and struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings for his first home win, Lucas Duda hit the first of the Mets' three homers and New York beat San Diego 8-4 on Wednesday night. "He pitched an absolutely — under the circumstances — an unbelievable game," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "The fact that he commanded his stuff as well as he did was impressive." Left-handed batters John Buck and Ike Davis also connected against homer-prone lefty Clayton Richard in the Mets' second straight romp over San Diego. They opened the season with an 11-2 win Monday. David Wright added an RBI double and Duda doubled, reached base three times and scored twice in a game that began with a wind chill of 32 degrees. "We need to get a win, no doubt about it," Padres manager Bud Black said. Making his 11th career start — fifth at home — the 24-year-old Harvey warmed up quickly in the frosty conditions in front of a crowd of 22,239. The Mets' 2010 No. 1 draft pick (seventh overall) didn't allow a baserunner until Everth Cabrera singled to center field leading off the fourth and faced 22 batters, one over the minimum. With the 22-mph wind ruffling his jersey, Harvey also singled in the second — and did not ask for a jacket on the base paths. "I like to play baseball, and, in my mind, a jacket doesn't belong on the baseball field," Harvey said. He did reluctantly make one concession to the cold: He said the undershirt he wore was a little thicker than normal. Harvey (1-0) picked Cabrera off first base when the speedy shortstop tried taking an extra stride in his lead while Will Venable was batting. Venable walked but Carlos Quentin hit into a 5-4-3 double play. "All his stuff is electric," said Buck, Harvey's catcher. Harvey walked Quentin with two outs in the seventh as paper wrappers swirled around the field. The Mets hold up Harvey as a symbol for the direction this franchise is headed as one of several highly touted young arms in the organization. He hasn't disappointed since getting the call July 26. He went 3-5 with a 2.73 ERA in 10 starts and is now filling the No. 2 starter role with Johan Santana out for the season because of shoulder surgery. "He's a little different than he was last fall," Collins said. "Last fall he wanted to show everybody that his stuff was plus stuff. ... He's becoming a pitcher." Duda hit a laser line drive into the second deck in right field in the second after Marlon Byrd singled off Richard (0-1). Duda doubled in the fourth ahead of Buck's homer. "That's a little bit unusual for Clay. He's been pretty solid against the left-handed hitters in his career," Black said. "He just got the ball up, he really did." With the flags atop the stadium stiffly pointing toward right, Buck lofted an opposite-field fly ball that landed in the netting just beyond the right field fence to make it 4-0. Buck also had an RBI single three batters after Davis crushed a ball just short of the bridge beyond the bullpens in right-center. Davis was 0 for 7 before the homer. "It was a tremendous relief," Davis said. "Especially after the first game," in which he went 0 for 5 with four strikeouts. Richard was troubled by the longball last year, giving up an NL-high 31 in 33 starts and this was a discouraging first start to 2013. He was lifted after walking Byrd in the fifth and allowed seven hits and eight runs — seven earned — in 4 1-3 innings. "There wasn't much that was working," Richard said. "Really, I didn't have good stuff and then when you don't have good stuff and are not able to command down, it's going to be trouble." Cameron Maybin had an RBI groundout in the eighth off Greg Burke to end the shutout. Nick Hundley had an RBI double in a three-run ninth. NOTES: Mets RHP Shaun Marcum will have his neck and shoulder examined by team doctors in New York on Thursday. Aaron Laffey likely will start in Marcum's place Sunday. ... Padres prospect Casey Kelly, a key piece in the trade that sent Adrian Gonzalez to Boston in December 2010, had Tommy John surgery Tuesday on his right elbow. Black said the operation went as planned and that Kelly will begin to follow the protocol for rehabilitation that generally takes about a year. ... Harvey struck out 10 twice last season. His high of 11 came in his debut. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Element #24 on the Periodic Table, Chromium (Cr) is a steel-gray, lustrous metal in its pure elemental form. Chromium deficiencies result in low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), pre-diabetes, and of course diabetes itself. One university study clearly showed a 33% increase in the lifespan of laboratory animals when they were supplemented with Chromium. It takes a Chromium molecule to burn fat and properly metabolize caloric intake, and most people are highly deficient in Chromium. The body requires pure Chromium ions to create lean muscle, so if you wish to more efficiently build your body's muscle mass, it is vitally important to give your body pure elemental chromium molecules as you workout. Instead of resorting to the trap of steroid usage, elemental ionic chromium supplementation is much safer and is often every bit as effective. This supplement is pure elemental Chromium, not an inferior compound such as Chromium Picolinate.

Technically speaking, an inhabitant of Faery is a fay, not a faery or fairy, but the terms have become totally confused over the last half-dozen centuries or so. The exact nature of Faery and its inhabitants has been a subject of quite a bit of debate down through the years, in and out of the Western occult traditions. Entities of the sort later known as fays, elves, and the like can be found in ancient Greek and Roman sources, where they blend in seamlessly with the realm of nature spirits and minor gods – the background fabric of classical religion. This same attitude can be found in Germanic and Celtic traditions, where the boundaries between gods and elves are impossible to draw. Current ideas about faery in the occult community range across the spectrum from Jungian analyses that conceptualize them as psychological realities through Theosophically derived teachings that see them as participants in another current of evolution (one that starts with elementals and proceeds through faeries, devas, and angels to archangels and beyond), to Pagan conceptions that interpret them as simply one part of the complex fabric of spiritual reality, bring the wheel around full circle. Which of these is closest to the truth, only the fays know – and they're not saying. source: The New Encyclopedia of the Occult, by John Michael Greer Fairy: Fairies are viewed in many modern Wicca/Witchcraft traditions as spiritual beings whose actions maintain the life force in Nature. The fairy concept has its origins in the Neolithic Cult of the Dead in Old Europe and to the ancient burial mounds of that period. source: Encyclopedia of Wicca & Witchcraft, by Raven Grimassi Also See: faery

We need six more weeks of weather like this, please …
• Can't say we've ever published a Toys for Tots photo with AK-47s in the background before! Kudos to my old buddies Dave and Maureen Francis of Heading Due North for coming up with the plan to sell used bowling pins from Plaza Lanes for target practice – and donating the proceeds to Toys for Tots. Savvy marketers, they are. And good supporters of the community, to boot.
• Please, stop calling us about Trick-or-Treat times! They're in the paper again today … and again tomorrow! If only people were this concerned about where and when to vote …
• Don't forget to pick up a copy of Thursday's paper (well, you should buy it every day of course, but I digress) for our special Pumpkin Vine section previewing this weekend's 12th Annual Norwich Pumpkin Festival and our own Ghastly Ghost Stories contest.
• "Can you tell me when X will be published? I don't ever buy the paper, so I don't want to miss it." Gee, honey, that's not insulting at all. Grrr. We really are in business to sell newspapers, folks. The answer is, "Now I definitely won't tell you. You'll have to buy the paper every day until you see it. And now I may make you wait."
• Congratulations to another old friend, Bradd Vickers, whose own Farm Bureau honored him earlier this week with its Ag Advocate of the Year Award. Bradd's always been good to the newspaper, but more importantly he's been good to the farmers and ag interests of Chenango County. Well deserved.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
By Henry I. Miller and Gregory Conko
We recently passed the 50th anniversary of Rachel Carson's best-selling book, "Silent Spring." Widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement, it was an emotionally charged but deeply flawed denunciation of the widespread spraying of chemical pesticides for the control of insects. Today, the book is still revered by many, but its legacy is anything but positive.
As detailed by Roger Meiners and Andy Morriss in their scholarly yet very readable analysis, "Silent Spring at 50: Reflections on an Environmental Classic," Carson exploited her reputation as a well-known nature writer to advocate and legitimatize "positions linked to a darker tradition in American environmental thinking." Carson "encourages some of the most destructive strains within environmentalism: alarmism, technophobia, failure to consider the costs and benefits of alternatives, and the discounting of human well-being around the world."
Carson's proselytizing and advocacy raised substantial anxiety about DDT and led to bans in most of the world and to restrictions on other chemical pesticides. But the fears she raised were based on gross misrepresentations and scholarship so atrocious that, if Carson were an academic, she would be guilty of egregious academic misconduct. Her observations about DDT have been condemned by many scientists. In the words of Professor Robert H. White-Stevens, an agriculturist and biology professor at Rutgers University, "If man were to follow the teachings of Miss Carson, we would return to the Dark Ages, and the insects and diseases and vermin would once again inherit the earth."
In 1992, San Jose State University entomologist J. Gordon Edwards, a long-time member of the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society and a fellow of the California Academy of Sciences, offered a persuasive and comprehensive rebuttal of "Silent Spring." As he explained in "The Lies of Rachel Carson," a stunning, point by point refutation, "it simply dawned on me that that Rachel Carson was not interested in the truth about [pesticides] and that I was being duped along with millions of other Americans." He demolished Carson's arguments and assertions, calling attention to critical omissions, faulty assumptions, and outright fabrications.
Consider, for example, this passage from Edwards' article: "This implication that DDT is horribly deadly is completely false. Human volunteers have ingested as much as 35 milligrams of it a day for nearly two years and suffered no adverse effects. Millions of people have lived with DDT intimately during the mosquito spray programs and nobody even got sick as a result. The National Academy of Sciences concluded in 1965 that 'in a little more than two decades, DDT has prevented 500 million [human] deaths that would otherwise have been inevitable.' The World Health Organization stated that DDT had 'killed more insects and saved more people than any other substance.'"
In addition, DDT was used with dramatic effect to shorten and prevent typhus epidemics during and after WWII when people were dusted with large amounts of it but suffered no ill effects, which is perhaps the most persuasive evidence that the chemical is harmless to humans. The product was such a boon to public health that in 1948 the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Dr. Paul Müller for his discovery of the "contact insecticidal action" of DDT.
It is extraordinary that anyone in the mainstream scientific community could continue to embrace sentimental claptrap of "Silent Spring," so we were surprised to see the commentary, "In Retrospect: Silent Spring," in the scientific journal Nature in May by evolutionary biologist Rob Dunn. Science is, after all, evidence-based, but Dunn's puff piece is a flawed and repugnant whitewash of Carson's failure to present actual evidence to support her assertions, and of the carnage that she caused. It also demonstrates that Dunn knows little about the history or toxicology of DDT.
Although the use of DDT is not risk-free, there is a vast difference between applying large amounts of it in the environment -- as farmers sometimes did before it was banned in the United States -- and using it carefully and sparingly to fight mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects, as it is used in a handful of African and Asian countries even today. It is sprayed or dusted indoors in small amounts to prevent mosquitoes from nesting, so exposures are extremely low. The now well-known problems associated with the thinning of raptor's eggshells – while always exaggerated – can be completely avoided by using DDT with care exclusively in residential areas, because the chemical remains largely near where it is sprayed. No study has ever linked DDT environmental exposure to harm to human health.
A basic principle of toxicology is that the dose makes the poison, and with modern regimens both environmental and human exposures would be very low. But "Silent Spring" condemned essentially all use of chemical insecticides and rejected the firmly established principle that products with known but small risks can offset far larger risks and provide a net safety benefit.

Hi everyone!
I've been busy with moving to another city where I'm supposed to go to university that starts on Monday. But I didn't manage to register for all my subjects because there wasn't enough capacity, so instead of 8, I have 4. Grr! I hope the problem will be solved soon.
Here I took a quick picture of my fairly simple outfit, suitable for windy autumn weather. I don't know if I'll be able to update my profile since I'm moving to students' hostel, but I'll try to convince my flat-mate to take some photos of me outside. That would be great! :)
Take care!

Hello, I have several websites on my ISPconfig and I'm getting a hang on it. I have one problem though: I want for one domain to have all subdomains ignored/passed through to the default page in Order to read the subdomain with php and use it for my own purposes/the programer's purposes. Is that possible? Greetings Maweki
You can redirect domains in a apache webserver with mod_rewrite: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/rewrite/
First, Thanks for answering. The problem is (using ispconfig 2) that the ip-adress is used in more than one place. I have the german localization so I do not know what it would say exactly in english. My message is So as I get it, ispconfig does not know that all the subdomains (and not only www) do belong to that Website. I know how to use the subdomains but the problem is, that ispconfig does not redirect the subdomains to the common domain.

2005 5.7L Won't start
I purchased a 2005 5.7L WK back in November. About 3-4 weeks ago, I ran to the store one morning and when I came out, the Jeep would not start. I would not get any clicking noises at all. When I turned the key, there was no noise and the engine would not even try to turn over. I ended up calling a buddy for help and he showed up about an hour later. When he was pulling up, the Jeep just magically started as if nothing was wrong.
I had not had any issues since but this morning, I had the same problem. I get nothing when I turn the key. I tried all day but it will not turn over or even try to. I have read there are issues with starters failing. Tomorrow I was going to call the stearlership to see if they have one in stock. Is there anything else that might be causing the problem and not the starter? Is it usually the starter? For those that have had one fail, did it act similar to mine? Would it just up and quit working and not give any noise? Thanks! |
Re: 2005 5.7L Won't start
Starter is VERY common. It is a very tight job on the 5.7l so be patient and hopefully you have a decent set of tools to pull from when one tool doesnt work.
There can be alot of things preventing the car from starting, that is the problem when an ignition switch sends a message to turn the car on and it first decides if the parameters are set then it just sends the message out to another module to perform the task. Its no longer 10ga wire from the ignition switch sending power to the starter solenoid. Good luck! |
Re: 2005 5.7L Won't start
most likely the starter
Re: 2005 5.7L Won't start
While it is most likely the starter, also check the battery and connections. Also, the stealer is not the best place pricewise to purchase a starter. How many miles on your 05 and how old is the battery?
Re: 2005 5.7L Won't start
112K on the Jeep, and I believe the battery is 14 months old.

Base-level rooms and bathrooms are small and a bit worn, but features are great: a clean pool, free Wi-Fi, room service, and comfortable beds.

Your 5th anniversary isn't considered to be one of the big ones, but it's a real milestone. Your spouse and you have learned one another's bad habits and flaws. You may have children. You've made a real beginning on a life together, and you can't be considered newlyweds any longer. Celebrate this anniversary as the first special one in your married lives.
Revisit Your Wedding and Honeymoon
You don't have to physically go back to your honeymoon location, but theme your party around it while adding in all the special touches you've developed together. For example, if you honeymooned in Hawaii, throw a luau in your backyard and ask everyone to bring a pot luck dish special to you; if New York City was your destination, put up cardboard cutouts of the city and serve hot dogs and soft pretzels. Invite all your favorite guests from your wedding and ask them to wear the same thing they wore that day. The bride can wear her wedding gown. Get creative by listing all the things you loved about your wedding and honeymoon, then try to duplicate them in a fun way.
Wood, Sapphires, Turquoise, Silverware, Daisies
Traditionally, wood gifts are supposed to be given on the 5th anniversary, with the gemstone alternatives being sapphire or turquoise. A more modern gift is silverware, and daisies are traditionally the flower. Theme your party around these rather eclectic objects. Serve food in wooden dishes and trays, and include sparkling blue glass "gemstones" in a wooden centerpiece with daisies. Because wood and daisies are very natural, an anniversary party outside on wooden picnic tables with simple daisy centerpieces would also go well with the theme.
Local Tourism
Choose a nearby place you've always wanted to go, but in 5 years or more have never gotten around to. Call them and find out if they book parties. Many places, from zoos to historical living museums, are happy to supplement income with parties. Seek out kitsch rather than elegance; your 5th anniversary should be fun.
Many couples stop doing the fun things they did as singles, even if they don't have kids. Look back at the things you used to do before marriage and get your friends together again for a night of reminiscing and relaxation. Plan games around memories, like the funniest thing guests remember about your relationship or the most embarrassing stories. Give nostalgic prizes, like gift certificates to restaurants you used to visit regularly, out to winners.
Have Your Honeymoon
Many newlyweds today skip the honeymoon because of time or money constraints and other issues. If you're one of them, plan and have the honeymoon you wanted, and invite special friends and family to join you. Rent a large cabin, beach house or condo and have a weekend celebration. Then, send your guests home and enjoy the rest of your well-earned honeymoon by yourselves.

Spouse Expressions
February 14, 2013, 07:20:05 AM »
My DH has these expressions that he uses over and over again for about a month, and then doesn't use them any more. He usually stops using them when they have passed on to me and I start using them all the time.
"...and stuff." Everything, at one time, had the words "and stuff" tagged on the end. Such as "It's cold and stuff." Half the time it made little or no sense.
"It really is though, isn't it?" In agreement to something the other person is saying. This one drives me a little potty but I can live with it.
"Not...really..." Said very slowly and thoughtfully, as if he's considering the previous sentence very carefully.
"If you would do ___ and ___, that would be massively helpful." I always want to say "But I am not feeling massively helpful today". I think I'll leave that to DS in a couple of years...
"That's not what's supposed to happen..." said in response to anything that doesn't go his way. Usually in a slightly confused tone of voice, as though it has snowed with the sole intention of spoiling his day.
Does anyone else have a spouse with some odd verbal expressions, or is it just mine?!

Mine adds "blahblablahblahblah" to the end of every sentence where you could possibly substitute etc., and so forth, and so on or any other synonym. He slurs it together so it comes out almost more like "blablubblah"... I don't know why he picked it up as a Verbal tic about a year ago- and to his credit he's gotten better at catching himself about it.

Oh I am so glad it is not just me.
DH also does The Shrug complete with the Noise when he doesn't know something. I asked him to please stop doing that since he is not a pubescent teenage boy any more and has sufficient grasp on the English language to convey that he is not sure of something.

Not really DH's expression but FIL's and we both picked up on it. He'll call and instead of identifying himself by name, he says "Hello, this is Tommy's* dad."
The first time he did that, I answered brightly, "Hi, Tommy's dad!!"** and he cracked up so we've kept doing it the last 13 years. MIL thought it was funny to and now any cards that are sent to me or both of us are signed "Love, MIL and Tommy's Dad."
*Not DH's actual nickname.
** Inspired by a high school friend who wasn't comfortable calling my parents by first name but was asked to not address them as Mr. And Mrs. so she'd say "Hi, Pirate's Mom/Dad!"
DH has a "Stuff" expression he likes to use. If anyone says "And stuff" he says "Not the STUFF!!" in a mock horrified voice. He'll also playfully refer to any one of our children that is the subject of conversation as "The child, who's failing to mention any checks." (from the Grinch movie, when he claims "the child mentioned a check?" as an award for joining the Whobilation).
Girly, your DH reminds me of a character on "The Regular Show" who likes to say "You know who else likes ____? MY MOM!!!!!!"
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. Be cheerful, strive to be happy. -Desiderata

'May I ask a favor of you?'
Mr. Thipu usually says this when he wants me to do something as simple as putting some lotion on his back when he gets out of the shower. He also says it when he wants me to stand on the kitchen stool and hold his ankles while he's working on the back of the clothes drier (our washer-drier is stacked with the drier on top).
To me, it sounds like something that you'd find in a Victorian novel instead of what a partner would request in 21st century Brooklyn. Also, you never know what he's going to ask.

Not my DH, but my 16yo DS adds "and such" to the ends of his sentences fairly regularly. He showed me a draft of a paper he's writing on Louis Armstrong and "and such" makes an appearance therein.
ETA his other face is "and whatnot."

DH has one that grates on my nerves. Whenever I suggest something, his knee jerk response is always "That's not a bad idea." Not once is it, "yes let's do that" or "I agree." so it sounds like he's always suggesting that my other ideas ARE bad and this is a rare useful one.
But, in our household I'm usually the one with distinctive phrases. Among others, I add "and such" to sentences too. When DD says something goofy, I have replied "What?? Noooooo" so many times that she's picked it up and now anything she says she tacks that on at the end, with my inflections.
"You have cookie ears! What?? Noooooo".

I'm the "phraser"
I have three go to responses (among my other phrases) which are, "your mom", "because you touch yourself at night", and "gremlins". These are all in responses to questions beginning with "why".

when my BF is discussing, usually familial, re
, he often uses the phrase 'it's not like we have tea together'... I mean, he says it often enough that I asked him where he got it from and he shrugs and says 'myself'. I just think it's cute.

"Bob did it." This is the standard reply in my parents' house when anything goes missing. Bob is the resident ghost who's been following my mother around for at least 50 years.
"Insert Tab A into Slot B" is the standard phrase to describe a procedure that's relatively simple like changing brakes, installing a new shower head or re-priming the pool pump.
I'm sure there's more, but it's late and my brain isn't functioning fully.

In my house it is not Bob that did it. It's the kitty's fault. This is from a friends child, who happened to constantly get herself into trouble. One time she actually did try to blame something on one of the family cats. So now anytime something goes wrong, "the kitty did it."
What have you got? Is it food? Is it for me? I want it whatever it is!

DH doesn't talk much, so I can't think of any particular expressions (he tends to stay quiet until he has some mind-bogglingly insightful comment to add). He does have a great way of driving Babybartfast nuts, though
Whenever she starts in with "I want X!" and we tell her no, she sometimes starts whining "But I waaaaaant it!" To which DH sings "You Can't Always Get What you Want."
It's to the point now where Babybartfast had a complete meltdown in the car when "You Can't Always Get What You Want" came on the radio
It's effective, though - it stops her from whining about how much she wants things!

The Giants will spend their bye week studying all facets of their attack and searching for solutions to a regression that has seen them score only three offensive touchdowns in three games, none of them on a Manning pass. Even with the recent lack of production, the Giants' numbers after 10 games in many instances are better than they were last year at this time.
Here's a comparison of some statistics and rankings after 10 games in both 2011 and 2012:
Statistic | 2011 | 2012 |
Record | 6-4 | 6-4 |
Points Scored | 228 | 267 |
First Downs | 197 | 206 |
Possession Average | 29:35 | 29:56 |
Yards per Game | 364.6 | 367.4 |
NFL Offensive Ranking | 13 | 10 |
Rushing Yards/Game | 83.2 | 111.4 |
Yards per Carry | 3.2 | 4.4 |
Passing Yards/Game | 281.4 | 256 |
Sacks Allowed | 19/138 | 12/79 |
Green Zone TD Percentage | 58.1 | 43.9 |
Offensive Touchdowns | 27 | 25 |
Field Goals | 10 | 28 |
There are plenty of positives to build on when the Giants return to work on Monday. But they must reverse some recent trends in their six-game stretch run, beginning with a prime time home game on November 25 vs. Green Bay.
*The Giants' three consecutive games with no more than one offensive touchdown is their longest streak since they went four in a row from Nov. 21-Dec. 12, 2004, in Coughlin's and Manning's first season with the Giants.
*The Giants' yardage totals the last three games are 293, 182 and 318, the first time they've gone three consecutive games without hitting 320 since Oct. 19-Nov. 2, 2008, when they gained 273, 282 and 319 yards in victories over San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Dallas.
*Net passing yardage the last three games: 190, 114 and 189, the Giants' first three consecutive sub 200-yard passing games since Dec. 7-21, 2008 (123, 146 and 158 vs. Philadelphia, Dallas and Carolina).
*The Giants' time of possession has been under 30 minutes each of the last four games, the first time that's happened since they went seven in a row from Jan. 2 (the final game of the 2004 season) to Oct. 23, 2005.
*Manning has thrown a career-long 99 consecutive passes without a touchdown. The previous long was 84 passes from Sept. 26-Oct. 10, 2010.
*On Sunday in Cincinnati, the Giants had just one offensive play longer than 20 yards, the first time that happened since Nov. 21, 2010 vs. Philadelphia.
Some other statistical notes as we head into a weekend without Giants football:
*According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Giants have 31 pass plays of 20 yards, tied for eighth most in league. But they have allowed 39 pass plays of 20 yards, third most in league.
*The Giants were penalized just once for five yards in Cincinnati. It was their first game with just one penalty since Dec. 23, 2000, vs. ironically, Coughlin's Jacksonville Jaguars. The last time they had as few as five penalty yards was Nov. 13, 1988 at Phoenix.
This was the fourth time in Coughlin's 17 seasons as an NFL head coach his team had no more than one penalty. The Jaguars had no penalties in a loss to Pittsburgh on Dec. 1, 2002, one for three yards in a victory over Atlanta on Dec. 22, 1996, and one for five yards in a win over Cleveland on Sept. 3, 2000.
*Sunday's defeat belied two statistical trends. The Giants rushed for 129 yards and fell to 4-1 this year and 62-26 under Coughlin when they run for more than 100 yards. At the same time, they held the Bengals to 76 yards on the ground. They are 5-1 this season and 48-14 under Coughlin when the opposition rushes for less than 100 yards.
*This season, Giants opponents have scored 108 points in the first half and 108 points in the second half.

The recent police raid of Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan brought a definitive end to rumors that "The Dark Knight Rises," Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated third Batman movie, would somehow incorporate the Occupy Wall Street protests into the production. But it nearly happened, according to actor Matthew Modine in an interview with Indiewire last week.
Modine was on the line promoting "Jesus Was A Commie," his deeply personal short film based on an essay he wrote for Fincher's Quarterly. The short, co-directed by Terence Ziegler, shows Modine wandering through New York (with a brief sidetrip to the cosmos) as he pontificates in voiceover about the dangers of partisanship while considering the possibility of communistic leanings in the New Testament. In general, Modine wants everyone to just get along. Having finished a festival run, the short will likely hit various VOD platforms next year.
Although Modine never directly touches on the Occupy Wall Street movement, his mentality synchs with the anti-capitalist bent of the flailing group. In addition to detailing the history of the project, Modine talked to Indiewire about his views on the protests and how they relate to his own goals. The actor, who plays a mysterious character named "Nixon" in "The Dark Knight Rises," explained why it's a good thing the movie never shot in the park and his reasoning for not paying a visit himself.
Why didn't "The Dark Knight Rises" shoot at Occupy Wall Street?
The wisdom of Christopher Nolan and his incredible team was that, while it seemed like a good idea to give [the protestors] an opportunity for work, to give them money, it would send a terrible message. At the end of the day, we're making a movie. What's happening down there is more important than that. To co-opt what's happening there and around the country… we didn't want to trivialize it. It was more important to respect what they're doing than to do anything that could potentially trivialize the political situation downtown.
Considering that your short film deals with the ills of capitalism, were you excited to play a character in "The Dark Knight" named "Nixon"?
I'm not allowed to talk about [the film], but there's a lot of misinformation. I don't know who created it, but it's kind of fun to have everybody speculating about it.
Did you visit the Occupy Wall Street protests on your own time?
I haven't been there. I've been supporting from afar because of that "celebrity" word. I don't want to go down there and be a celebrity who came down to visit. I think it's too important. It's OK for Michael Moore because that's the world he lives in and he can speak articulately about it. In another sense, he can be made fun of so much by people who don't understand him. Of course, that's their right.
Still, "Jesus Was a Commie" is definitely a movie with an activist angle. So you're saying you don't mind speaking out as long as you don't do it as a public figure.
Well, there's this horrible word that people in the media use today to identify actors as people with "bold-faced" names. That's kind of obscene to me. Celebrity is spelled "Snooki" to me today. It's something that's unpleasant. I have tried to stay away from that word. I'm actor, I'm an artist, and it's throughout the course of history… I mean, going to the Cannes Film Festival, where they had the winners the Palme d'Or coming to the stage, you realize looking at those people, they changed the consciousness of human beings around the world. They shined light where there was tremendous injustice, cruelty and prejudice. I was in Turkey, and I went to this place on a mountain where Alexander tried to capture a town… on the side of this mountain was an amphitheater carved into the side of the mountain. It was a profound experience. Even though they had slaves to install this amphitheater on the side of the mountain, they still had to feed them and clothe them, and have architects to design it so it would survive almost 2,200 years. That's how important it was to have people sing songs and tell stories.
How did you end up directing the short?
Previously, I worked on two related short films, "I Think I Thought" and "To Kill an American." With "Jesus Was a Commie," they're kind of a trifecta of storytelling. Terence Ziegler had been the editor on "I Think I Thought." He had read my essay in Fincher's Quarterly and thought it would be cool to make it into an animated film. He worked on it for some time, but it never really progressed because of how much work animation is. But he excited me about the idea of making it into a short film, so I asked a friend of mine who used to work for Apple if he would produce it. He brought this film to completion. I'm not trying to make any points in the film except to create awareness and discussion.
What was the general inspiration behind the ideas in both the essay and the film?
Like so many Americans, I was really impacted and influenced by the events of 9/11. Going downtown, it made me conscious of the idea that democracy requires our participation. We're not supposed to live here passively. The people that are elected officials are just that. They're not a higher authority; they're just people who are elected. They're supposed represent us because we live in a representative government. When those people we elect are not representing us, not representing the country, it requires the participation of the citizens to speak up and say something. This goes back to the American Revolution and the Boston Tea Party. I think it's unfair to call it civil disobedience because it's not that they're disobeying; they're speaking up. I don't call the people on Wall Street protestors. It's not protesting. They're speaking up.
Do you want to direct more shorts?
I have an idea for a feature-length film I'm really looking forward to getting off the ground. I've been making shorts for a long time. I made one called "Smoking" that played at Sundance and launched the writing career of David Sedaris. Short films are wonderful because they're not really time-consuming. They're difficult to make as feature films, but they can be very personal sort of sketches and keep you busy between jobs. One of the horrible things about being an actor is waiting for someone to make a decision about your life. Rather than wait, why not keep yourself busy? It's something I enjoy, so that's why I do it.

text: By 1949, British stage and film star A.E. Matthews was more widely celebrated for his advanced age (eighty) than his considerable thespian achievements. In The Amazing Mr. Beecham (original British title: The Chiltern Hundreds), Matthews goes into his well-calculated "doddering aristocrat" routine as an elderly earl confounded by political upheaval. The old man's son (David Tomlinson) attempts to be elected to Parliament on the socialist ticket, but it is the family butler (Cecil Parker) who ends up being elected as a Tory. The original play, written by William Douglas Home, had also served as a vehicle for the venerable Matthews (who had made his stage debut in 1886!) After Amazing Mr. Beecham, A.E. Matthews remained active until his death in 1960 at age 91. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Landlord Claims Against You for Debt
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
If your former landlord claims you owe a debt as a result of your tenancy, you should contact the landlord with a proposal for resolving this matter. Often landlords are willing to accept less than the amount they originally say you owe. If you do not believe you owe anything, then provide proof to your former landlord of that. If you are able to reach an agreement with your former landlord, be sure to get the agreement in writing, with both of your signatures. Also be sure to keep proof of any payments you make toward the debt. You can later provide a copy of the agreement and the receipts for your payments (if any) to a credit reporting agency so that they can remove the landlord's bad credit reference from your record.
If you cannot reach an agreement with your former landlord, your landlord may report the debt to one or more of the three credit reporting agencies. If this happens, you can write to the credit reporting agencies and dispute the debt. To contact the credit reporting agency to dispute a debt, you can call Transunion at 1-800-955-5082 or 1-800-916-8800, Experian at 1-888-397-3742, and Equifax at 1-800-685-1111 or 1-800-525-6285. Under federal law, credit reporting agencies must include a dispute statement of up to 100 words with your credit report if you dispute a debt and request that they include the dispute as part of your credit record. Also, by law, you can obtain annually one free copy of your credit report from the three credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and Trans-Union) by calling 877-322-8228 or by going to https://www.annualcreditreport.com.
Your former landlord may also resort to suing you in court to collect the debt. Even if the landlord sues you, you cannot be jailed for failing to pay, and the landlord cannot take money directly out of your paycheck or out of any federal tax refund you may receive. However, as long as the debt remains unpaid, it may remain on your credit report. Therefore, it may be beneficial to you to resolve this matter whether or not your landlord files suit.
If you can prove that the landlord's debt-claims against you are false, you may want to bring suit against your landlord for making false claims. If the amount you sue for is under $10,000, you can sue in Justice of the Peace (J.P.) court without an attorney. Your lawsuit should be filed within two years of the date your landlord acted improperly.

Like some of you who posted comments, I've been touched by the tragic death of a young person. In these circumstances I often ask my patients, "How do you deal with this tragic loss?" And the answer is fairly consistent: "You don't deal with it."
You simply move on as best you can, one day at a time, and acknowledge that there is a new normal. Things are never again the way they were. The loss is part of who you are. For example, someone who has lost a child will be reminded of it every time he or she is asked, "How many children do you have?"
Let me share with you a story. A patient came to our clinic and I noticed this person had a religious tattoo that included two names. The patient shared with me that these were close friends who tragically died under unusual circumstances. The tattoo was a visual reminder that these individuals would never be forgotten.
Now let me quickly shift gears. As I have touched on before, there are medical circumstances when you need the help of the professional, such as a heart or kidney specialist. The guidance and support of a trusted advisor or counselor can also be invaluable when you're dealing with grief, just to let you know that you're not going crazy and that at some point the pain will lessen. It won't completely go away, but it becomes less intense.
Please weigh in on a subject with which we all struggle.

Warning: watching Brotherhood may cause bipolar disorder.
I wish a similar warning had popped up on the screen before I started watching Showtime's political/mob drama. There are moments when I so deeply adore the series and the newness of its ideas that I want to rearrange the furniture. There are other moments that I hate the show and its tired, trite story arcs so much that I want to shut it off and sleep for days.
Brotherhood and the epic story of the Caffee brothers can cause emotional distress. Plus, it has the added problem of being a heavy drama in the vein of Clint Eastwood's Mystic River. For drama fans that's a good thing, but you have to be a serious, serious fan.
The show follows Tom Caffee (Jason Clarke), Rhode Island State Legislator representing Providence's working-class, Irish-Catholic neighborhood of The Hill. He works hard for his district, making ethically questionable back room deals for the maximum benefit of The Hill. The party powers see him as the next JFK. And he could be. That is until his brother, mobster Michael Caffee (Jason Issacs), returns from exile.
Michael intentions for The Hill are similar, if self-serving. He wants to rid the neighborhood of union organizer and ruling mob guy Freddie Cork (Kevin Chapman). As the series progresses Michael actions start to affect Tom's political career, with a U.S. Attorney looking to bring down both Caffees and Cork. Worse, Tom's powerful political friends may not be able to stop the inevitable.
The above mentioned plot is the great part of the series, the one where I find myself leaning into the TV and waiting for the next episode. The storylines involving Tom's philandering, drug-addicted wife; an overbearing, Michael-obsessed mother; Cork's family issues; Michael's relationship problems and trouble with his help; and a conflicted cop, who just happens to be a lifelong Caffee friend fail to be as innovative or even as interesting as the rest of the series.
The collision of the Caffee brothers' conflicting careers at times exists in a universe of its own. The tangential storylines are important to the progression of the show, but they often overstay their welcome. Whereas I find myself caring about the Caffee brothers, along with the closely intertwined Cork and the cop friend, I don't ever seem to care about Mrs. Caffee or mother Caffee. They are a drain on the show in spite of the marvelous performances from Annabeth Gish and Fionnula Flanagan as Tom's wife and his mother, respectively.
Brotherhood is effortlessly great when we get to see Tom Caffee zig and zag his way through Rhode Island state politics. There's a skeezy, dirty game going on, one lacking the romance of Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing. On the flipside, Sopranos fans may do well to catch up on the DVD ahead of the premiere of Brotherhood Season Two on Sept. 30. The oft-underrated Jason Issacs gives a staggering performance as the charismatic, brutal Michael Caffee. His own power grabbing in the world of Providence crime doesn't make him comparable to Tony Soprano, but he's getting there.
Lucky for audiences, Michael and Tom's storylines come to a head in the last few episodes of the season. The show begins to focus less on the other characters and more on the coming storm. The heavy drama has higher stakes and all of the stories, for better or worse, begin to propel Brotherhood forward. They may still be adding layer upon layer of new problems without any resolutions, but they have resonance because they so aggressively affect the brothers. In a show titled Brotherhood, that's the way it should be.
The New Season Starts Sept. 30 on Showtime.
