Ryan Dosier - After talking about Fraggle Rock for three weeks, you start to become a little Fragglish yourself. I constantly find myself dancing my cares away and eating radishes... but that's beside the point. Today's entry marks the final in my series discussing my favorite things about Fraggle Rock. If you've missed the first three parts, you're missing out on The Characters, The Music, and The Silly Creatures and you should probably check those out before continuing. Today I'll be talking about one of the most impressive aspects of the show's release on DVD: the Bonus Features.
While not technically a part of Fraggle Rock itself, the bonus features included on the DVD release of each season of the show are so all-encompassing and add so much to my understanding and appreciation of the series that I consider them to be a beautiful tribute to the show. These bonus features are truly, truly incredible and pull together so many people who worked on the show that I can safely assume we will never see features like this again on any other Muppet-related release.
Season One set the precedent with hours of conversation with Jerry Juhl, Jocelyn Stevenson, and the Muppet performers who so deserve the spotlight: Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Steve Whitmire, and Karen Prell. Season Two brought even more discussions with the Muppeteers and more writers plus an amazingly beautiful tribute to Jerry Juhl. Season Three we got to hear from Gerry Parkes (Doc) and even more writers. Season Four spotlighted the talented individuals inside the Gorgs. These are just small pieces of the big picture of bonus features included on these releases.
It is truly amazing just how many individuals came out of the wood work to discuss Fraggle Rock and it shows how truly special this series was to everyone who worked on it. It is a wonderful treat to see Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire sit together and laugh about the pranks they used to pull on the crew. Or to watch Karen Prell one up the both of them with her Muppet knowledge. Or to see Jerry Juhl light up when discussing the show. Or to hear Gerry Parkes' obvious adoration for the show and the role he played. Or to feel how much the writers truly believed in these characters and what they were preaching. Everyone who talks about Fraggle Rock clearly loved it and that is a beautiful thing.
Another amazing set of features spread across the four seasons are some incredibly rare, magnificent behind the scenes footage. In one, Steve Whitmire takes us behind the scenes with a handheld camera, in another we get to see parts of the wrap party with touching speeches from Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl and hilarity from Karen Prell and Richard Hunt. A lot of the behind the scenes footage is contained in the amazing documentary on Season One, "Down at Fraggle Rock." Hosted by Jim Henson and running at least an hour, this documentary is truly special and a fantastic look at the entire series.
Overall, these features remind us why Fraggle Rock was so wonderful... because of the people who made it. Writing these articles and watching the series from start to finish has been such a delight. The true spirit of Fraggle Rock lives in the people who made the show real. The love, the fun, the beauty of the series will surely live on in the folks who brought the Fraggles, Doozers, and Gorgs to life and in the millions of fans who have fallen in love with this nearly perfect show. If you still have not seen Fraggle Rock, you are truly, truly missing out (and are probably really confused by these articles). Get on that. Soon.

Brian Eno
"Humankind seems to teeter between hubris and paranoia: the hubris of our ever-growing power contrasts with the paranoia that we're permanently and increasingly under threat. At the zenith we realise we have to come down again...we know that we have more than we deserve or can defend, so we become nervous. Somebody, something is going to take it all from us: that is the dread of the wealthy. Paranoia leads to defensiveness, and we all end up in the trenches facing each other across the mud." - Brian Eno
'The Ship', the new album by Brian Eno, will be released on Friday 29 April 2016 via Warp Records. 'The Ship' is Eno's first solo record since 2012's Grammy-nominated LUX. Originally conceived from experiments with three dimensional recording techniques and formed in two, interconnected parts, 'The Ship' is almost as much musical novel as traditional album. Eno brings together beautiful songs, minimalist ambience, physical electronics omniscient narratives and technical innovation into a single, cinematic suite. The result is the very best of Eno, a record without parallel in his catalogue.

Rapest shot by 81 year old granny
The Rambo Granny of Melbourne , Australia Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down - - and shot off their testicles. The old lady spent a week hunting those men down -- and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way, said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be: 'Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.' Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth , 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cell mate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up. The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas' testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. The one guy, Thomas, didn't lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won't be using it the way he used to, Detective Delp told reporters. Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they're just happy to be alive after what they've been through. The Rambo Granny swung into action August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row. "When I saw the look on my Debbie's face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself 'cause I figured the Law would go easy on them," recalled the retired library worker. "And I wasn't scared of them, either-- because I've got me a gun and I've been shooting' all my life. And I wasn't dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one" So, using a police artist's sketch of the suspects and Debbie's description of the sickos', tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel. I knew it was them the minute I saw 'em, but I shot a picture of 'em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them, the oldster recalled. So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door and the minute the big one, , opened the door, I shot 'em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt 'em most, you know. Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in. Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison, Det. Delp said, especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for Mayor. DEPORT HER TO AMERICA --- WE NEED HER !! she really those guys |

interesting story, definitely gets the reader fired up about agreein' with the granny's form of punishment... but the article itself reads like a bad forwarded email. I'd almost want a link to a newspaper detailing the story, otherwise I'm sure you can file this under another one of the internet myths and legends.
Too many liberties taken with the story that makes it sound way too fake. |

Associated Press
TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) -- Pastor Rick Warren has tweeted that his son killed himself with an unregistered gun purchased through the Internet.
Warren, who has been tweeting regularly about his grief since his 27-year-old son Matthew committed suicide last Friday, said he forgives whoever sold the weapon.
Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said Thursday that the gun's serial number was scratched off.
It's illegal in California to buy a gun without a background check and purchasers are supposed to register their firearms. Defacing a gun's serial number is a federal offense.
Rick Warren is pastor of Saddleback Church in Orange County and author of "The Purpose-Driven Life," a bestseller. He and his wife have said their son struggled with depression. They have set up a mental health fund in Matthew's memory.

text: This year for my birthday I was planning to invite a bunch of friends to a concert in the LA area to celebrate. Liars are around that time, with No Age. I think they're a brilliant band, but I've never seen them live, so I can only guess at what their live show is like. Keep in mind that none of my friends are quite as adventurous musically as I am. So do you guys think this one would go over well? I might just wait and see who else is playing around then. But Liars are great.

Luyten 726-8 AB (UV Ceti) |
Home | Stars | Orbits | Habitability | Life | |
NASA -- larger image
Luyten 726 AB are dim red dwarf stars, like Gliese
623 A (M2.5V) and B (M5.8Ve) at lower right.
System Summary
Luyten 726-8 AB is the sixth closest system to Sol. The system is located only about 8.7 light-years away in the southwestern part (01:39:01-17:57.0:C~, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Cetus, the Whale -- northeast of Deneb Kaitos or Diphda (Beta Ceti). Both stars in this binary system of red dwarfs, however, are too faint to be seen with the naked eye. The discovery of these two stars and their high proper motion of was published in December 1949 by Willem Jacob Luyten (1899-1994), who found the proper motions of over 520,000 stars despite the loss of sight in one eye since 1925 by building an automated photographic plate scanner and measuring machine (Willem J. Luyten, 1949). Although both stars have been found to be flare stars, the fainter member of the system is considered to be an extreme example; it has been given the variable star designation UV Ceti but is also referred to as "Luyten's Flare Star" (Martin Johnson, 1953).
AB Binary Star System
Star A and its companion UV Ceti have a combined mass of about 20 percent of Sol's but less than 11/100,000th of its brightness. The two stars may be separated "on average" by only about 5.5 times the Earth-Sun distance (AUs of a semi-major axis) in a highly elliptical orbit (e= 0.62), at an inclination of 127.3° degrees. Based on orbital data that generates the mass estimates cited previously, the two stars may swing between 2.1 and 8.8 AUs apart in an orbital period lasting 26.5 years (Geyer et al, 1988).
---------------------------------------------- [Guide] -- [Larger] ----------------------------------------------
Orbital Distance (a=AUs) | Orbital Period (P=years) | Orbital Eccentricity (e) | Orbital Inclination (i=degrees) | Mass (Solar) | Diameter (Solar) | Density (Earths) | Surface Gravity (Earths) | Metallicity (Solar) | |
AB Mass Center | 0.0 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

This cool and dim, main sequence red dwarf (M5.6 Ve) may have about 10 to 11 percent of Sol's mass (Geyer et al, 1988; RECONS; and NASA Star and Exoplanet Database, derived from Henry and McCarthy, 1993), 14 percent of its diameter (Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 649), and less than 6/100,000th of its luminosity (Worley and Behall, 1978). With less than 20 percent of Sol's mass, Both Stars A and B are so small that they can transport core heat to its surface only through convection, unlike larger red dwarf stars like Gliese 752 A -- also known as Wolf 1055 A or Van Biesbroeck's Star (more).

Like Gliese 752 B, both Stars A and B are so
small, with less than 20 percent of Sol's mass,
that it can transport core heat only through
convection, unlike larger larger red dwarf
stars like Gliese 752 A
Although less dramatic in its brightness variations than its binary companion B, Luyten 726-8 A has also been identified as a flare star. Like its companion, Star A is also a variable and flare star, designated BL Ceti. Some useful star catalogue numbers and designations are: BL Cet, Gl 65 A, G 272-61, L 726-8 A, LP 768-27, LFT 144, LTT 892, LHS 9, LDS 868, and 2MASS J01390120-1757026 A.
This often even dimmer, main sequence red dwarf star (M6.0 Ve) may have only 10 percent of Sol's mass (Geyer et al, 1988; and RECONS estimate), 14 percent of its diameter (Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 649), and less than 4/100,000th of its luminosity.

High resolution and
jumbo images
et al, 1998).
A flaring UV Ceti was resolved as at least two evolving
spatial components that were separated by four to five
stellar radii, in this
radio image at 3.6 cm
wavelength. The components changed in appearance
over about six hours of observation but stayed aligned
along the axis of the binary orbit, as shown by the arrow.
UV Ceti, however, is an extreme example of a flare star that can boost its brightness by five times in less than a minute, then fall somewhat slower back down to normal luminosity within two or three minutes before flaring suddenly again after several hours. In 1952, UV Ceti was observed flaring to 75 times its normal brightness in only 20 seconds. In addition to variable star designations UV Ceti and New Suspected Variable (NSV) star 577, useful catalogue numbers and designations include: UV Cet, L 726-8 B, Gl 65 B, LP 768-26, LFT 145, LTT 893, LHS 10, NSV 577, and MASS J01390120-1757026 B.
With a spectral type of M5.5, Proxima Centauri can be used as a rough proxy for either Stars A or B (M5.6 and M6.0, respectively). Accounting for infrared radiation, the distance from Proxima where an Earth-type planet could have liquid water on its surface is around 0.022 to 0.054 AU (Endl and Kürster, 2008; and Endl et al, 2003, in pdf) -- much closer than Mercury's orbital distance of about 0.4 AU from Sol -- with a corresponding orbital period of 3.6 to 13.8 days (Endl and Kürster, 2008), while the NASA Star and Exoplanet Database has calculated a slightly farther out habitable zone between 0.033 and 0.064 AUs around Proxima. In any case, the rotation of such a planet would probably be tidally locked so that one side would be in perpetual daylight and the other in darkness. (For an illustrated discussion, see Christoph Kulmann's web page on the potential habitable zone around a red dwarf, flare star like UV Ceti.)
Hunt for Substellar Companions
There may have been an unconfirmed detection of two planetary candidates around Luyten 726-8 A, one with a mass one-tenth more than Jupiter's and a second with about 40 percent more. A recent search for faint companions using the Hubble Space Telescope, however, found no supporting evidence for a large Jupiter or brown dwarf sized object, although the observed positions of Luyten 726-8 AB differed from published orbital elements (Schroeder et al, 2000).
Life Around a Flare Star
Many dim, red (M) dwarf stars exhibit unusually violent flare activity for their size and brightness. These flare stars are actually common because red dwarfs make up more than half of all stars in our galaxy. Although flares do occur on our Sun every so often, the amount of energy released in a solar flare is small compared to the total amount of energy that Sol produces. However, a flare the size of a solar flare occurring on a red dwarf star (UV Ceti) that is more than ten thousand times dimmer than our Sun would emit about as much or more light as the red dwarf does normally.
Flare stars erupt sporadically, with successive flares spaced anywhere from an hour to a few days apart. A flare only takes a few minutes to reach peak brightness, and more than one flare can occur at a time. Moreover, in addition to bursts of light and radio waves, flares on dim red dwarfs may emit up to 10,000 times as many X-rays as a comparably-sized solar flare on our own Sun, and so flares would be lethal to Earth-type life on planets near the flare star. Hence, Earth-type life around flare stars may be unlikely because their planets must be located very close to dim red dwarfs to be warmed sufficiently by star light to have liquid water (about 0.0075 AU for UV Ceti), which makes flares even more dangerous around such stars. In any case, the light emitted by red dwarfs may be too red in color for Earth-type plant life to perform photosynthesis efficiently.

10 Hard to Translate English Words
Inspired by a comment by a Listverse contributor on a recent list dealing with Untranslatable words, I decided to submit my first official Listverse list on words that represent concepts which are hard to translate from English into other languages. The fact that there's hundreds of words that are only found in English shouldn't surprise you at all. The Oxford English Dictionary lists over 250,000 distinct words, not including many technical or slang terms, making English one of the richest languages (if not the richest) in terms of vocabulary. Below some examples of words that represent a challenge when attempting translation. Many of them now serve as loanwords to other languages.
Before all our Multilingual folks start complaining, allow me to clarify that I'm referring to the transitive verb (not the noun): "pimp", which roughly means "to decorate" or "to gussy up". This verb was made popular by T.V shows like: Pimp My Ride. Although this term was to pay homage to hip-hop culture and its connection to street culture, it has now entered common, and even mainstream, commercial use. The Spanish slang "Pompear", used in a few Latin-American countries, evolved as a direct derivation with a close meaning.
We are all familiar with those unnatural, robot-pitched voices coming out of singers over the last 10 years or so. So much so that we've coined a term for it (unlike most languages). This adjective describes a "singer" whose off-key inaccuracies, and out of tune mistakes, have been digitally disguised so that it appears to perform perfectly. Because it is a relatively new term the adjective is pretty much untranslatable.
This term describes a situation in which one must lose some quality in exchange for another quality. It involves a decision in which a person fully understands the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. The term is particularly difficult to translate into any language without using over 5 words or explicitly explaining a scenario.
It is unlikely that you don't know the definition of spam, but here it goes anyway. Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. No other language has a single, non-derivate word for this concept, in fact the word spam itself is in common use in most languages as a loanword. Spam is, of course, also a term for a canned meat. Delicious.
Here is a kind of a retro-term that is no longer in common use. Coined in the 90's, this term describes a very intimate but non-sexual relationship between two (or more) men. In many cultures, including American, Bromance is mistaken for homosexuality and therefore no other culture has coined a term to describe this unusual relationship. Although the term can be described in most languages, no language other than English has a word for it.
This popular term describes the gesture of slapping the palm of one's hand to the face, in a show of exasperation. The term is in common use in the English language, but, surprisingly, no other language seems to have an original term for this fairly common act.
Kitsch defines any art that is considered an inferior copy of an existing style. The term is also used in a more free manner when referring to any art that is pretentious, outdated or in bad taste. With the single exception of German (from whence it comes to English) the term is untranslatable into any language.
This word is defined as any text containing jargon, or especially convoluted English, that results in it being excessively hard to understand, or even incomprehensible. The term was coined in 1944, by former US Representative Maury Maverick (pictured above). Even for professional literature translators this word represents a challenge.
Serendipity is any discovery that's unexpected yet fortunate. You can also call it a lucky find, coincidence or accident. The word has been voted as one of the ten English words that were hardest to translate in June 2004, by a British translation company. However, due to its sociological use, the word has been exported into many other languages.
A googly (a term in the game of cricket) is a type of delivery bowled by a right-arm leg spin bowler. The googly is a major weapon in the arsenal of a leg spin bowler, and can be one of the bowler's most effective wicket-taking balls. It is used infrequently, because its effectiveness comes mostly from its surprise value. The term is so exclusive to the English language that the Wikipedia article about is not available in any other language. If it were to be translated to a language like, perhaps, Spanish the word would come out like: "Tiro de Cricket curvado hecho por un tirador con la derecha." or Curved Cricket shot made by a bowler with its right hand.

I pinned this inspiration quite a while ago and just got around to making it this weekend. My personal blogger-stance is to NOT re-do what someone has done (if I've seen it). I'd rather show you my finished project and send you to the original tutorial instead of showing you how to do it on my page. It just seems more supportive of other bloggers, and I know that I appreciate that so much more than just a little tag at the bottom which says, "inspired by la vie en rose" (or worse, la vie enrose ...).
Anyway, I went to the site so I could grab the link to the tutorial... but... there was no tutorial! I think the shirt is an actual product being sold and not another blogger's DIY.
Clearly that means a tutorial did in fact need to be made, so here it is! I started with one of John's too-big polos, but I regret that. The tank turned out looser than I wanted, so I'll probably hem the sides in a few inches. I recommend a shirt that is just a bit loose, not insanely oversized. I can't wait to do this again because I have so many ideas for the back and even just the shape in general.
**note, I can't show you the picture for the inspiration on my page since there is no "original source link". If you'd like to see it, click the link above to the site which showed the tank and gave the inspiration.
1. Shape it. First you need to turn it into a tank. If you've seen my T TO TANK tutorial, you already have this down. If not, you'll need to cut the collar and sleeves off. For the collar, I folded the shirt on the sleeve line so that it would be even. Then I started on one side and cut all the way to the bottom of the buttons and back up. This made a nice dip in the back as well. If you want your back + front to have a different shape, refer to the t-to-tank tutorial above, it's much more in depth. Next, I tackled the sleeves. You can fold the shirt here too for a symmetrical finish, but I chose not to because of the material. Start at the bottom of the sleeve and cut along to the top. I usually follow the seam and take off about an inch.
(2) Angle it. Fold your shirt in half, longways. Starting at the side hems, cut an angle down to the middle of the shirt. You can control how cropped the shirt is, I went from mid-way down. Lastly, cut a straight line in on the FRONT of the shirt from the bottom to where the cropping begins.
(3) Back it. I gave two back options here. Well, technically three because you *can* leave it angled if you'd like. You can also fold the angle over til it is in line with where the cropping begins and cut it right off, so that your back is straight across (this is how it was in the original) OR you can just cut a curve into the bottom as seen in the second picture if you'd like more back coverage. That's what I did.
(4) Wear it! Wouldn't this be super cute over a bathing suit? That's how I wore it over the weekend. I loved it. I can't wait to wear a zillion more. Obviously it's cute with shorts, too! You can choose to layer it or leave it alone. Also, how tightly you tie the knot will determine how much coverage you have. When I tie the knot loosely, the shirt actually extends to cover my entire stomach.
I absolutely HAVE to do the Natural Product Review this week because I promised to do it in July, which is nearly over. I'll cut it down to 3 days instead of 5, though, so that we can get at least one more refashion/project in this week :) I hope your weekend was incredible. Mine was full of floating, beaches, cousins + baklava. So yes, it was lovely. All the best to you and as always, thanks for reading!

Cute! I have a granddaghter who loves to 'cut up' tee shirts and make these cute little tanks! I take a ribbon of contrasting color and tie the 'sleeves' together in the back for a different look! You look really cute in yours and now I have to make her another one like yours! Thanks!

Faroe Petroleum announces new exploration licences awarded in Norway
Wednesday, Jan 16, 2013
Faroe Petroleum, the independent oil and gas company focusing principally on exploration, appraisal and production opportunities in the Atlantic margin, the North Sea and Norway, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded eight new prospective exploration licences, including three operatorships, under the 2012 Norwegian APA Licence Round on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Northern North Sea
The Company has been awarded two licences in the northern North Sea. These licences offer exciting exploration opportunities in a very active exploration area with established production infrastructure.
Licence PL676 S Firkløver – Blocks 24/9, 24/12 and 25/7: Faroe (40% and operator), Det norske oljeselskap ASA (20%), Total E&P Norge AS (20%) and Petoro AS (20%). This licence, located on the Viking Graben, contains structural closures with substantial stratigraphic upside potential in Lower Cretaceous sands. This is a proven play model on the UK side of the border, but is a relatively immature play on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. A part of the acreage within block 24/9 is stratigraphically split, and applies for levels below top Cretaceous. The work programme is to merge and reprocess existing 3D surveys with a drill or drop decision in two years.
Licence PL055 D Brage extension – Block 31/4: Faroe (13.4%) operated by Statoil together with the other Brage Sognefjord partners. This licence is awarded as a licence extension to the PL055 licence, containing the producing northern North Sea Brage Sognefjord Field. The Brage Fensfjord well 31/4-A-19 A, drilled in 2009, proved up additional volumes in the Fensfjord Formation within the Brage Field. A recent reservoir modelling project has revealed that the oil filled Fensfjord reservoir, from where the well produces, may extend beyond the existing licence border into the acreage covered by the new licence.
North Sea
The Company has been awarded five licences in the North Sea, where the Company already holds a number of licences, including the 2011 Butch discovery:
Licence PL666 Percy – Blocks 2/1, 8/10 and 8/11: Faroe (30%), Centrica Resources (Norge) AS ("Centrica") (40% and operator), Spring Energy Norway AS ("Spring") (30%). This North Sea licence is located immediately east of the PL405 licence which contains the Butch Discovery (Faroe Petroleum 15%). The Percy Prospect is a three-way dip closure against a fault. The reservoir is expected to be in sandstones of the Ula Formation. The work programme includes purchasing and merging modern 3D seismic to cover the main prospectivity, with a drill or drop decision in two years.
Licence PL665 S Caramello – Blocks 2/2, 2/3 and 3/1: Faroe (40% and operator), Agora Oil & Gas AS (20%), Valiant Petroleum Norge AS (20%) and Centrica (20%). This licence is located on the Sørvestlandet High in the Norwegian Southern North Sea. The primary play in this area is the Upper Jurassic Ula Formation sandstones. Several prospects and leads have been identified. The area also offers secondary potential in Permian sandstones, with hydrocarbons sourced from a local Carboniferous basin. The work programme is to acquire new 3D seismic data with a drill or drop decision in two years.
Licence PL660 Blackmore – Block 1/6: Faroe (35% and operator), Maersk Oil Norway (25%), Centrica (20%) and Petoro AS (20%). The Blackmore Prospect straddles the UK/Norway border in the central North Sea. The structure is a large, complex tilted Mesozoic fault block, closed by a combination of dip, faults and salt walls. The primary reservoir is in the Triassic Skagerrak Formation, which is a proven reservoir on the UK side of the border. Secondary potential has been identified in the Upper Jurassic in Ula equivalent deep-water sand deposits. This is an emerging play model in the UK, but an immature play on the Norwegian side of the border. The work programme involves performing geophysical and geological studies with a drill or drop decision in two years.
Licence PL670 Betula – Blocks 7/11 and 7/12: Faroe (25%), Spring (30% and operator), Centrica (25%) and Concedo ASA (20%). The Betula Prospect is an exciting opportunity in a mature and prolific area in the vicinity of the Jurassic Ula Field in the Central North Sea. Key lessons from recent wells in the area have been incorporated to extend the classic Ula Formation intra-pod play model. The Betula Prospect is a combined structural and stratigraphic trap with an Ula Formation reservoir on top of a Triassic pod. The work commitment includes purchase and reprocessing of 3D seismic data with a drill or drop decision in two years.

My mother has been using this recipe for the last 45 years for special occasions and the holidays. She taught my sister and me how to make the twists so we can carry on the tradition for our families.
—Joyce Hallisey, Mt. Gilead, North Carolina
Banana Bread A to Z
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 8 ounces ground walnuts (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add buttermilk, eggs and yeast mixture; stir to form a soft dough. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°. In another bowl, mix filling ingredients. Punch down dough; divide into three portions. On a sugared surface, roll one portion into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Sprinkle 1/3 cup filling lengthwise down one half of the dough. Fold dough in half over filling, forming a 12x4-1/2-in. rectangle; pat down to press filling into dough. Seal edges.
- Sprinkle an additional 1/3 cup filling down one half of the folded dough. Fold in half again, forming a 12x2-1/4-in. rectangle. Press to form a 12x4-in. rectangle. Cut into twenty-four 1/2-in. slices. Repeat with remaining dough and additional filling. Twist each slice one time and roll in remaining filling; place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks; serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 6 dozen.

Climate change means doing Asian development differently
In the face of climate change, is it time to re-examine the way we do development in Asia?
For years, many developing countries have believed it can be only one or the other – economic growth or reducing carbon emissions.
But a new report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) says it's possible for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to do both.
"High human development usually means high emissions, but there are ways to do things differently," says Anuradha Rajivan, lead author of the report.
Everyone agrees that Asia-Pacific – which accounts for one-third of the world's greenhouse gases and is home to two-thirds of the world's poor – needs more economic growth if it is to lift millions of its people out of poverty.
But Asia must also do its part to address climate change, not only by adapting and preparing for extreme weather events, but also by reducing its carbon footprint, experts say.
"The world's common future will be hugely affected by the choices that are made in Asia and the Pacific on a low-carbon growth path," says Ajay Chhibber, UNDP's director for Asia and the Pacific.
"The goal is clear, reduce poverty, increase prosperity, but leave a smaller carbon footprint."
This isn't as difficult or as costly as it sounds, say the report's authors.
Asian countries are much less locked into the old, carbon-intensive models of production and consumption used by the West, which took the approach of "grow first, clean later" – helping it achieve the high levels of development it enjoys today.
Greater knowledge and improved technology mean Asian countries need not take the same path as they try to boost manufacturing, produce more crops and generate energy to fuel industry and improve their citizens' quality of life .
They can adopt "greener, more resilient, lower-emission options", says the report. These will be more sustainable and provide employment and income opportunities for the poor, it adds.
The report comes ahead of the Rio+20 Earth Summit in Brazil next month, which aims to hammer out sustainable development goals across seven core themes – including food security, water and energy – for countries to adopt.
There's a whole gamut of strategies Asian governments can start looking at – if they aren't already – to make their development more sustainable and less carbon-intensive.
They can encourage industry to adopt green technologies through regulations and fiscal incentives, without undermining their competitiveness.
They can also shift tax burdens towards fossil fuel use and waste generation, and redirect subsidies away from polluting fuels.
Countries should also look at promoting greener agriculture, the report says. Techniques such as reducing methane in rice production by more efficient water use will help, for example.
Carbon sequestration using crop waste is another example of greener farming. Cambodia, India and the Philippines are using crop residues such as rice husks which are burned with almost no oxygen, producing "biochar" which is then buried to store carbon and improve productivity.
Globally, cities occupy only two percent of land yet contribute more than two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions.
Given that half of the world's 20 or so megacities are in Asia, building greener cities is imperative.
Authorities can promote climate-friendly energy use, more efficient transport, greener buildings and better waste management, according to the report.
"There may be some uncomfortable trade-offs, but the way forward is clear – it lies in sustaining human development for the future we want," it says.
"Through better institutions, more accurate knowledge and changed attitudes, Asia-Pacific societies can find smarter strategies for adapting to a warmer world."

Looking for my hubby's great-grandmother's birth, I came across this page from the transcribed records of the Reformed Dutch Church at Greenwich (New York City).
Great-grandma was Mary Amanda Demarest, not Pamelia Ann Demarest (see last entry in the photo). However, Mary Amanda's parents and early years remain a mystery, even though cousin Larry (our family's super-genealogist) has been searching for more than a decade.
Baby girl Demarests born in 1831 in New York City are of interest to us, since that was Great-grandma's year and place of birth. And looking for Mary Amanda Demarest led me to stumble across Pamelia Ann Demarest, born in 1831, in the church records.
Pamelia Ann was born ex prohibito concubitu which, a professional genealogist explained, meant her parents weren't allowed to marry. Having never seen or heard this phrase before, I was wordless for a moment (rare for me).
Was the parents' relationship too close (first cousins, for example, or even closer)? Was the father or mother already married? Was the mother (or father) too young to marry? Note that no father was listed, and the baby was adopted. It's also a legal issue: This child can't inherit.
But there's more to the Demarest mystery. I'll save that for another day!

"Downton Abbey" is bringing Season 4 to a close Sunday, Feb. 23 with a trip to London for most of the Crawley family, as Lady Rose is being presented during "the season." In this sneak peek clip, Cora's mother and brother, Martha (Shirley MacLaine) and Harold (Paul Giamatti) arrive at the London manor.
Martha is her usual outspoken self, while Harold seems rather prickly to his never-before-seen niece Edith. He's nice enough, but he would definitely rather be anywhere than going to London society balls.
He brings with him a wide-eyed valet named Ethan Slade, who says to Daisy, "Aren't you excited?", to which she replies, "I'm never excited." That's our Daisy.
"Downton Abbey" airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT on PBS.

Hippodrome Theatre
1140 State Route 52,
Loch Sheldrake,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 7 comments
Apparently it did reopen for awhile for the summer seasons recently, but will apparently not be doing so again: View link
Here's a 2007 view of the HIPPODROME: http://www.boxsetgallery.com/stein/index2.html
Here is a July 2008 blog that discusses the Hippodrome:
The cinema has been closed since 2006 sadly.The owners spent $300,000 dollars fixing up this gem. Independent films and films aimed at the Hasidic community did not fly.Here is hoping someone will re-open this fine cinema.
This theater was part of the Kallet Theaters chain in the early 1960s.
I found it on a website of a certain movie "Rock School" that my friend starred in. It played there this past July.
The site has not been updated since last spring. I took a ride up there early this summer and met with the owner. The building is in decent shape, and the current owner, a local realtor, wants to further restore the theatre. At the time he was planning a summer slate of art and children's product, but I have not noticed any advertising all summer for the Hippodrome.

The Reading & Northern Railroad has been awarded a $10 million state capital budget grant to build a new railroad bridge over the Lehigh River near Nesquehoning in Carbon County.
The project cost is more than $14 million, with Reading & Northern investing the balance.
The new bridge will provide the railroad with a north-south route connecting the Philadelphia region to New England and eastern Canada. It will be the fastest and most economical route into the Marcellus Shale territory, according to Andrew Muller Jr., owner and CEO of the railroad
"I have been working for almost two decades to bring this bridge and resulting new route to fruition. This bridge will enable us to better serve our customers and it will bring economic development and jobs to northeastern Pennsylvania," Muller said in a news release today.
The bridge will enable Reading & Northern to provide improved service to dozens of its existing customers.
Under the terms of the grant, the state funds will be made available over the fiscal years of 2014 and 2015, with $5 million being released each year.
Muller said in the news release that during the 18-month construction period, 140 direct jobs will be created, plus numerous indirect jobs created by the producers of purchased materials.
Reading & Northern is the largest privately owned railroad in the state, the release says. It operates a 320-mile regional rail system in nine counties in eastern Pennsylvania and employs more than 180 employees at the railroad and related businesses.

Dirk blasts Lakers again, sends Mavs to 2-0 lead By GREG BEACHAMLOS ANGELES (AP) Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks let loose with a few primal howls as they left the court, cutting through the scattered boos and gloomy silence at Staples Center. After back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Mavericks are headed home with something coach Rick Carlisle insists they expected. These longtime playoff disappointments have a golden opportunity to knock out the two-time defending champions. Nowitzki scored 24 points, Shawn Marion added 14 and the Mavericks stunned the erratic Lakers 93-81 in Game 2 on Wednesday night, taking a 2-0 second-round lead with consecutive road wins. Jason Kidd scored 10 points for the Mavericks, who pushed the Lakers halfway to playoff elimination with Nowitzki's stellar shooting, another steady defensive performance, and a decisive 9-0 fourth-quarter rally. Dallas did nothing spectacularly well, yet was significantly better than the cold-shooting Lakers on both ends. "We came to compete, and we came to make something happen here," Marion said. "We made our presence felt on both ends of the floor tonight. We did a good job of handling their pressure and just going out there and doing what we've been doing all postseason, just playing good defense and just playing our style of play." Kobe Bryant scored 23 points for the Lakers, who hadn't lost the first two games of a playoff series since the 2008 NBA finals - also the last series they lost. Only three NBA teams have come back to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first two at home, where dismayed fans sent the Lakers off with boos and jeers. "We came here to win two games," Carlisle said. "We're going to need every gun blazing and throw the kitchen sink at these guys when they come to our place." Game 3 is Friday night in Dallas. Los Angeles missed its first 15 3-point attempts in Game 2, only avoiding its first playoff game without a 3-pointer since May 8, 2001, on Bryant's 3-pointer with 2:43 left. Los Angeles finished 2 for 20 on 3-pointers, but the Lakers also appeared simply exhausted during long stretches of their 75th playoff game in the last four seasons. "I saw guys tired out there, but I don't think it's contagious from two years ago or three years," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "Really poor second half on our part tonight. Just really a rugged third quarter for our team, had a hard time getting going." Los Angeles also could be short-handed in Dallas: Ron Artest was ejected with 24.4 seconds left for apparently clotheslining Dallas guard Jose Barea, possibly leading to a suspension. Even Jackson conceded "there's a good chance" he won't have Artest on Friday. "It's not a basketball play, so we'll see what happens," Barea said. After years of playoff underachievement during owner Mark Cuban's tenure, the Mavericks certainly appear primed to change their reputation. Dallas, which won just one playoff series in the past four years before this spring, was more aggressive and inventive than the champs, maintaining a steady lead before breaking it open with nine straight points down the stretch in the rally led by Barea, who highlighted it with an impressive short shot directly over Andrew Bynum. Barea had 12 points and four assists. Cuban led the cheers behind Dallas' bench as the Mavs pulled away in the fourth quarter. Not even Bryant could save the Lakers, going scoreless in the fourth until hitting two free throws with 3:11 to play. Bynum had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Lakers, who haven't been able to control the paint with their usual vehemence against the Mavericks' three 7-footers. Pau Gasol had 13 points and 10 rebounds, but appeared tentative for long stretches while struggling to contain Nowitzki. The Mavericks protected the rim and largely controlled the tempo, using their advantages in depth and athleticism to limit the Lakers' offense. Dallas took a six-point lead into the fourth quarter and stretched it to 10 moments later before coasting home with little opposition from the Lakers, who went 7 for 20 in the final period. Gasol's struggles have been the Lakers' biggest mystery of the postseason. The Spanish All-Star 7-footer barely contributed to Los Angeles' tough six-game victory over New Orleans in the first round, and he came back from a quiet opener against Dallas with another mediocre game, getting booed several times by the home crowd. "He was one of the guys that looked tired out there," Jackson said. Dallas rallied from a 16-point deficit in the second half to win Game 1, finishing on a 9-2 run capped by four last-minute points from Nowitzki, who seems determined to erase memories of the Mavericks' past playoff failures on big stages. Nowitzki had 28 points and 14 rebounds in Game 1, including the go-ahead free throws. Nowitzki came out firing again in Game 2, scoring 15 points in the first half with the 7-footer's usual array of impossible-to-block fallaway jumpers. Dallas took an eight-point lead in the second quarter, but Los Angeles made a 10-0 run catalyzed by Bryant before the Mavericks took a 51-49 halftime lead on another Nowitzki jumper. The Lakers ran several defenders at Nowitzki, using Gasol and Lamar Odom before trying Artest in the second quarter. Artest gives up 5 inches to Nowitzki, who seemed to have little trouble in the matchup. NOTES: Bryant has 5,246 career playoff points to 5,248 for Shaquille O'Neal, in fourth place on the NBA's career playoff scoring list. The former Lakers superstar is injured and sitting for the Boston Celtics this spring. ... Dallas is the most recent NBA team to win a series after losing the first two games at home, doing it in 2005. ... Fans near courtside included Larry David, directors McG and Brett Ratner, Bridget Moynahan, Eliza Dushku, George Lopez, Dax Shepard, Anthony Anderson, Holly Robinson Peete and Jaime Murray.

LAKERS VS. MAVERICKS GAME 2 PREVIEW By GREG BEACHAM, AP Sports WriterLOS ANGELES (AP)¡ªKobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki were born just two months apart in 1978, and they've both been NBA superstars for over a decade. They've won one league MVP award apiece, and Bryant has only a slight edge in career scoring averages and All-Star appearances. Nobody would ever compare Nowitzki with Bryant in the metrics that matter most, however. In championships, in big-game performances, Dirk just isn't in Kobe's league. Yet after Nowitzki and his Dallas Mavericks thoroughly outplayed Bryant'sLos Angeles Lakers down the stretch of their 96-94 comeback victory in their second-round series opener, Nowitzki's teammates think this might be the season their German 7-footer erases their mutual postseason reputation¡ªalthough he'll have to damage Bryant's invincible aura to do it. "He always wants the ball down the stretch, and he always finds a way to get it done," said Dallas guard Jason Kidd, whose veteran defensive savvy also caused problems for Bryant. "He likes that stage. You don't find a lot of guys who like that stage. Kobe is one of them, but (Nowitzki) has done a lot of work to get there with him. He and Kobe are the two best players on the floor, and he found a way to get it done last night." Game 2 is Wednesday night at Staples Center. Although Bryant is widely perceived to be the NBA's best late-game scorer after a 15-year career filled with clutch play, some statistics show Dirk is a better closer than Kobe, including Nowitzki's superior shooting percentage on last-minute shots in tight games. Bryant has missed crucial shots in several buzzer-beating situations over the past few postseasons, including his miss off the back rim to end Game 1. Nowitzki scored 11 points in the fourth quarter Monday night during the Mavericks' first-ever playoff win in Los Angeles, including four in the final 40 seconds. With Staples Center collectively screaming in his ear with 19.5 seconds to play, Nowitzki coolly made two free throws to give Dallas its first lead of the second half. "I've basically seen it all in this league," Nowitzki said after the Mavericks' workout at the Los Angeles Clippers' training complex. "It's my 13th year. I've got to be ready for anything. I can adjust to just about anything, and the good thing is we've got a lot of shooters on this team. We can do a lot of things." Bryant scored 21 of his 36 points in the second half, but he couldn't close out the Mavs. His bad pass was stolen by Jason Terry with 20 seconds left, and he fumbled a handoff from Pau Gasol with 4 seconds to play before missing that catch-and-shoot 3-pointer. Nowitzki was the cooler playoff customer, while Bryant made crucial mistakes to cap the Lakers' collapse. No wonder Staples Center fans appeared more confused than angry after their team blew a 16-point lead to lose their second straight series opener. "I'm not clutch," Bryant deadpanned after sitting out another practice at the Lakers' training complex. Nowitzki and Bryant have struck up a friendship during times together at All-Star games or the Olympics, but Bryant doesn't feel a personal rivalry with Nowitzki. After all, they had never met in the playoffs before Game 1. "It's different, because it's not a personal challenge for me to try to stop him or make things difficult for him," Bryant said. "It's a little different in that regard." Their career postseason scoring averages are nearly identical, around 25.5 points apiece, and they're both among the highest in NBA history. But Bryant has scored at least 30 points in 81 playoff games, more than anybody except Michael Jordan, and his steady brilliance has pushed the Lakers to seven NBA finals, including the past three. Nowitzki's offensive talents are unique among 7-footers, but he still hasn't led the Mavericks to the franchise's first title during a decade of playoff appearances. He got close in 2006, but Nowitzki shot poorly while the Mavericks blew a 2-0 lead over the Miami Heat to lose the NBA finals. A year later, Dallas was knocked out of the first round by eighth-seeded Golden State, and Nowitzki went 2 for 13 in the Warriors' clinching victory after a horrific series effort, forcing him into the bittersweet spectacle of accepting his only NBA MVP award after the Mavericks had been eliminated. Dallas had won just one round in the previous four postseasons combined, even with Nowitzki averaging more than 26 points per game over the past three years, before knocking off Portland in the first round this spring. The Trail Blazers set the stage for a typical Mavs collapse by coming back from a 23-point deficit in Game 4 to even the series¡ªbut Dallas responded with two impressive closeout wins. "We're mentally tougher than we have been," Nowitzki said. "It showed after the meltdown in Portland, coming back and winning two games when everybody said we were dead. We're a lot of veteran guys who have been around a lot in this league." After Nowitzki's 28-point, 14-rebound performance in Game 1, the Lakers claimed they aren't planning a new defensive approach. Gasol, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest will share defensive duties, but Los Angeles realizes it must improve its rotation to prevent Nowitzki's teammates from spreading the floor for open shots. The Lakers appeared thoroughly unperturbed by their third loss in seven postseason games this spring, even after blowing a 16-point lead. Unlike the Mavs, they have a large memory bank filled with postseason resilience to draw upon when things go wrong. "We're playing against one of the best teams in the NBA, and there's no anticipation of being able to get up to a certain level and be able to maintain a lead," Lakers guard Derek Fisher said. "We've accepted the fact that it won't be perfect. We're going to lose games."
GAME NOTES SEASON& SERIES NOTES; CONNECTIONS The Lakers took this season's series from Dallas 2-1 after splitting last season's series 2-2 and sweeping the '08-09 season series with the Mavericks 3-0. The Lakers last lost a season series to Dallas in 2006-07 (1-3), their first series loss to the Mavericks since the 1986-87 season and only the third ever (1983-84). Overall, the Lakers are 7-3 against the Mavericks in their last 10 games. In Dallas, the Lakers have gone 4-6 in their last 10 games at American Airlines Center. The Lakers are 18-4 all-time against the Mavericks at STAPLES Center and 8-2 in their last 10 home games overall. Under head coach Phil Jackson, the Lakers are 28-13 against the Mavericks. In their first meeting last season (10/30/09), the Lakers lost for just the 11th time at home against the Mavericks, ending a 6-game win streak against Dallas as well as a 4-game home win streak against the Mavs. Also last season, on 1/3/10 at STAPLES Center, the Lakers established a new series record for margin of victory over Dallas, defeating the Mavericks by 35 (131-96), surpassing the old 33-point margin of victory established 12/1/93 (124-91). In their first meeting of the 2008-09 season, Jason Kidd posted his 101st career triple-double and his fourth ever against the Lakers. In December of 2005, Kobe Bryant established a new series record with 62 points against the Mavericks in a 112-90 victory at STAPLES Center. In that contest, Bryant single-handedly outscored the Mavericks 62-61 through three quarters. In 2007-08, Bryant again went over the 50-point mark against the Mavericks, scoring 52 points in the Lakers 108-104 overtime victory March 2 at STAPLES Center. Mavericks forward Caron Butler played the 2004-05 season with the Lakers, averaging 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.44 steals in 35.7 minutes over 77 games. Mavericks center Tyson Chandler played locally at Dominguez High School in Compton, CA where he helped the Dons to three straight CIF Div. II state championships. Prior to this postseason, the Lakers and Mavericks have met in the playoffs three times (1984 WC Semifinals (4-1), 1986 WC Semifinals (4-2), 1988 WC Finals (4-3)) with the Lakers advancing on each occasion.

A guarded and well-spoken Ratan turns coy as her television swayamwar ends with her choosing Delhi's Abhinav Sharma
Television actor Ratan Rajpoot finally chose her life partner as the Imagine show Ratan Ka Rishta came to quite a dramatic end last night. She decided to get attached to 27-year-old Delhi-based software developer Abhinav Sharma. But, interestingly, the show that was supposed to end in marriage actually ended with the couple choosing to only get engaged at this point. A shy Ratan said that she and her beau wanted to enjoy their engagement period for a while and get to know each other better before they tied the knot. Another reason for the delay was that her fiancé Abhinav had asked for a few months so that he could shift base to Mumbai – apparently Ratan is not keen on quitting her acting career to move to Delhi just yet. Abhinav said, "Ratan has taken this decision for me. We had discussed this before during the show and Ratan understands my situation." Well, the last time a couple (Rakhi Sawant and NRI businessman Elesh Parujanwala) on this show asked for more time, their relationship wandered off track into never-never land! Let's see if Ratan and Abhinav do go all the way to the mandap or change their minds long before they get there. Whatever they do, it's all a matter of trying to send those TRPs soaring, no?
Watch Ratan and Abhinav talk about each other and show off their rings here.

Keywords the reviewer selected : This one has a sort of female domination throughout the game with about half of it on a male and the other half with a female. I could really do without the scenes of the boy being dominated. Just not my thing. As for the voices, I'm not sure I could distinguish which character was a male or female. They all sounded like females and I suspect the boy was not given a masculine voice. Anyway the game is kind of long with a quite a few branches and multiple endings as well. I don't really like the type of stuff in this game, but if you're into female domination then this game is for you. Was this review helpful to you? [ Report Abuse ] |

Keywords the reviewer selected : This work is fantastic for those seeking femdom. The male protagonist is almost never in a position of power as the rest of the female cast has their way with him. The voice work for the Space Pirate captain is amazing, as well for one of the secret(?) characters. Was this review helpful to you? [ Report Abuse ] |

I was reading a DVM magazine today. There was an articleabout the number of veterinarians that were set to graduate in 2012. According to the article, there were 2524 new veterinary graduates in 2012, which is a 2% increase from 2011. They broke down the number of graduates by school, listing the size of the graduating classes of all U.S. veterinary schools. The chart in the article also divided each school's class size by gender, and that's the part that really caught my eye. There were 82 students in my veterinary class at the University of Florida, in 1988. The class was divided exactly 50-50 in terms of gender: 41 males and 41 females. I looked at the makeup of University of Florida's graduating class for 2012, and was surprised to see that the class was now 71% women and 29% men. The numbers for all of the schools combined are even more striking: 78% women, 22% men! Auburn University in Alabama had the highest percentage of men, although this fell well short of 50%. (It was 40%) Tufts University, in Massachusetts, had the biggest dichotomy: 88% women, 12% men! As far as the total number of veterinarians in the entire country, women took the lead in 2009, with there being 44,802 women vets compared with 43196 men.
Why has the veterinary profession shifted so dramatically from a male-dominated field to one where women are now taking the lead?

First of all I have to say that I am new to Max. I tried to work with some .png in Max and wanted to give them special coordinates. It workes. I have done it by fpic. But I don't know how I can have in one window more than one picture. These pictures should change their coordinates in different way.
If you're using [fpic], how are you using the window? You can of course use multiple fpics and set each to the correct position.
If you want to move (animate) pictures around, I would use a [jit.window] output instead of [fpic], that is really meant to display pictures as part of an interface.
Maybe you can post the patch you're working on, that would give a little bit more insight.

Homeland security, a term brought to the fore by Congress and the Bush administration after 9/11, cuts across a number of significant issues from immigration to disaster recovery. It is likely to generate considerable discussion in the 2008 presidential election on topics such as the USA Patriot Act, border fences, a national ID, and FEMA reforms after Hurricane Katrina. A number of candidates have played leading role in seeking to revise the way the Department of Homeland Security allocates anti-terror funds.

Ava Thursday: Merry Christmas!
Ava is SO into Christmas, and, believe it or not, just loves the whole gift-giving aspect of the season. Kids normally gravitate to the gift-getting part, but Ava's never really focused on wanting too many things for Christmas. It's a bit strange, but I'm not going to complain. It'll probably change the older she gets, but hey, we might as well enjoy it now when we can. (And I have to mention this beautiful post by Andrea on Ava's recent act of Christmas benevolence.)
So here we have a wonderfully cheerful Christmas scene, complete with Santa, a Christmas tree and kids. I like that Ava has drawn the Big Red Guy in full stride, in motion, with gifts in his hands. There really isn't that much of a story here, but Ava did say that the boy on the left is surprised to not find any gifts for him. I'm assuming that Santa is trying to get there in time to give the boy his presents, but since I'm not the artist, I won't know for sure. The girl to the right is not Ava -- I'm wanting to assume that Ava draws herself in almost all her drawings, but apparently that's not always the case.
A nice touch is the half-eaten carrot for the reindeer on the table there.
Ava also drew a scene on the backside of this picture, and so I thought I'd share that one as well:
Ava tells me that this is a girl who was surprised by something and that she's dropping a doll. You can see the motion lines right where the doll is. I like how she tried something different here by drawing a large profile, with a very detailed eye. It looks to me that Ava was really working on more detail in this picture than usual. That's a toybox over on the left, and "Toe" is Ava's way of writing out "Toys" phoenetically. With her learning to read and write, we were told that it's good for Ava to try and write out what she thinks the word is by mouthing it out and to listen to how it sounds, but not to correct her too much.
As usual, to view these images closer, click on them and you will be taken to their Flickr page. From there, click on "All sizes."
Well, if I don't see you guys before then, I want to take the time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! From the Jenkins Family to yours, best wishes for the Holidays.

text: dredgingdredging, process of excavating materials underwater. It is used to deepen waterways, harbors, and docks and for mining alluvial mineral deposits, including tin, gold, and diamonds. The Dutch at an early period cleared their canals of silt with a pole to which was attached a bag held open by a steel ring. The apparatus, operated from the side of a stationary barge, was dragged along the bottom and then emptied into the barge. Modern dredging equipment may be divided into four main classes. The grab dredge is used where the amount of excavation is relatively small. It consists of one or more grab buckets, operated by cranes mounted on a vessel or barge or sometimes on the shore. Each bucket has jaws that are hinged together. The bucket is lowered to the bottom with its jaws open and pointing down. When it sinks into the material to be dredged, its jaws close. The material can then be lifted to the surface and discharged into a hopper for removal to a disposal area. The dipper dredge, also known as the boom-and-dipper assembly, is similar in appearance to a land power shovel. It is used extensively in canal construction and was employed in the cutting of the Panama Canal. The ladder-bucket dredge, a more elaborate type, is generally mounted on a self-propelling vessel built with a longitudinal well in the center, open to the water beneath for a considerable length. Mounted and hinged over the well is a long steel frame, which may be raised or lowered at will; it is equipped with a long string of buckets passing over sprockets at each end. The buckets, operating through the well, scoop up material from the bottom and discharge it into a chute that projects over the vessel's side to a hopper barge moored alongside or into a receiving hopper in the dredge itself. The suction dredge, or Material from these dredges is sometimes pumped through pipes for long distances and used to build up low-lying ground. Hopper barges made to carry away and sink the material brought up by dredges are of a special type. In the space where the material is carried are hinged doors, or flaps, held closed by chains and opening downward. Around the space are watertight compartments to give the barge buoyancy. When the dredge is above the disposal area, the bottom doors are released and the material discharged; the doors are then closed again by winches. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.
