A double tanka for Lyn
used Carrara marble
mined from a mountain
where men still die stealing
the new way of pricing art
my friend travelled
to the 'cathedral' mountain
she stands in slurry
with marble dust in her hair
still as a statue
Lachlan Brown #1 On the night before I teach…
On the night before I teach…
I have this dream where I enter a hoarder's house and discover that some of the rooms are being used as a kind of hotel. For some reason there is also a creative writing class set up in the living area, chairs carefully placed around huge piles of clothes and rubbish. I know that I am meant to teach this class, but after introducing myself I instead start talking about Gerald Murnane. I say that Gerald would probably hate creative writing classes, because his peculiar writing is an example of the opposite of any kind of advice one might receive in a writing class. Then Luke Carman (apparently in the class, somewhere up the back) pipes up and says, 'I hate Gerald Murnane. I hate his work and everything he stands for.' I am a little taken aback by this outburst, but then a great defender quickly appears from a sidedoor and interjects with an eloquent defence of Murnane's work. The students sit there, dutifully taking notes.
Robert Verdon, #345, if
Rob Schackne #131 – The Visit
One day in July
three men came
in the same suits
they were polite
we need ya to stay
on the other side
I asked them where
the other side was
see that corner well
don't go there anymore
Kristen de Kline #22 – Five blue figures
that's what the guy who wrote it says.
Nobody seemed to know what it means:
"There's five blue figures on a white circle" …
… something about making arrangements, keeping each other in line.
'82. At parties you hear people saying:
it's based on numerology
five figure settlements
doodles on a note-pad
colour therapy
divorce lawyers
call centres
On You Tube you watch the scratched over clip of the Blams:
punk boys
dangling on a knife-edge
'82. Night before dole day, we raid the roach jar, roll-another-number
crank up 'Don't fight it Marsha' on the turntable
sit in the living room in Kilmore Street with the blackened out windows
as if we've gone back to the London Blitz
Does anyone get the lyrics: 'There's five blue figures on a white circle'?
Moira says she knew the chick it was written for, it always made her cry,
it was about her relationship
Then the skinhead, who ends up inside for dealing,
can't remember his name,
just the pet rat on the shoulder of his army jacket,
the birth mark stain strangling his neck
like a vicious love bite.
He tells us:
It's written by a punk who wants to write songs about the way we live
getting wasted
smashing cars
but they never go anywhere
so he ends up writing lyrics all about
household appliances
Nobody seems to know what it means.
Five blue figures on a white circle.
This one comes out of nowhere goes nowhere comes out of nowhere.
Sarah St Vincent Welch #290 Cloth
Lizz Murphy – # 303: Head xxxviii. This has become my language –
Mikaela Castledine #299 – #303 The Sea
We are always trying and failing
to write new poems about the sea
but they have all been written before
and been mostly sunk
in the greening deep
The sea is
an epiglottal flood
a snorting catarrh
a misting cataract across your vision
the sea is an infection in a fracture
an oozing effluvian wound
that needs salt washing
before it eats away
The sea grows in the belly swelling
spreads through the vessels to the nodes
it cannot be contained cut out or chemo-ed
and will get you in the end
The sea is old skin
pinch pleated
easily bruised
festering beneath
slow to heal over
Punch drunk and reeling
the sea swallows its own tongue
The sea is never happy
anxiety quelled
by obsessive and compulsive
washing and rewashing
The sea is vocal
all the sirens shanties and odes
are only air suck blown and redirected
through the conch of a shell sky
curled over a sea horizon
The sea is mezzo
the sea is baritone

Samsung released the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 unlocked handsets and we've been playing with it constantly since.
By previous Samsung standards this is a pretty rapid turn around for an Android update so we've delved deep, into the Note 3 version at least, to find what's new and to spot any problems. So far we've noticed it's quicker and, it's too early to say for sure, but battery life seems to have improved.
Instant camera access
From awakening the device users are now met with a camera icon in the bottom right hand corner. Swiping from its centre to anywhere on the screen will unlock and immediately fire up the camera. This is an old idea but great to see it as we've missed the tap and twist unlock that quick opened the camera on the Galaxy S3.
Home launcher settings
Users who like to go off the beaten path with their own launchers can now set them as default from the settings menu.
In the "Default applications" settings any installed launchers will appear and can easily be selected as the default launcher of choice for the home screen.
Transparent notification bar
Behold! The background goes on right to the top of the screen now as the notification bar has been made transparent. Short notification text is still displayed, just on the backdrop of whatever background you choose - so don't go too light or the white text won't be much use.
It's not just the text that's white now, the whole notification bar has been bled of colour. The battery is now white as are the upload and download arrows in the data section. It certainly looks cleaner than before and the colour isn't missed, so far.
The font has also been changed in the pull-down menu. Now with thinner lettering the definition from the high quality screen makes it look really attractive.
SMS app choice
The new "Default applications" option allows users to choose the default app for dealing with messages. It's automatically set to SMS but there is an option to use Hangouts for those Google fans.
When you actually open Messages, after making the change to Hangouts, Samsung steps in asking if you want to set Messages as the default app, again. A simple cancel gets rid of this. But you can no longer send a text from within your messages window anyway. You'll need to use the Hangouts icon or tap the message icon from a person's contact.
Hangouts works like iMessage in that it will text if the contact is offline but offer to send over data if they're signed into Google. But it appears to leave you signed in which could cost on battery life in the long run.
Cloud printing support comes built-in
One of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat updates that should arrive on all devices is cloud printing support. Options for this are found in the settings section. This has potential as it means apps can build printing options right in - with even more exciting prospects for 3D printing, should it support that one day.
Other extras
In the NFC settings section there is now a "Tap and pay" option. Though there are no payment apps installed as the UK is limited in that department. But US users can probably take advantage of Google Wallet here.
GPS in the settings has been replaced with "Location" which now has information on "Recent location requests" like from Google Play or Google Search. Location reporting can be tunred on and off separately to GPS. There's also "My places" that allows users to save a Home, Office and Car as standard with the option to add more if needs be. Users can also select from a list of which apps are allowed to tag a location when used, like Camera and S Note.
Now that Android offers support for IR blasters more apps can start to take advantage of that. Meaning users aren't forced to only use the Samsung remote control app.
The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update is an incremental one indeed. It looks a bit nicer and has wider support to create potentially useful future apps.
On the whole most users won't notice a huge difference but we love the quick camera access. We can't confirm it from our minimal use so far but battery life appears to be improved also. What have your experiences been?

By: Saher Khalil, Larry King Now
Celebrities are just like us!
It's a headline we're all too familiar with. Usually, it's above a photo of one of the Kardashians doing something like going grocery or pumping their own gas. While the headline itself is just meant to grab your attention and sell magazines, in reality, it's a concept that we constantly forget. Celebrities are just like us. Yes, some of them live extravagant lifestyles that many of us can only dream of. But when you strip away the glitz and the glam, you're left with human beings who share many of the same hopes, dreams and even fears as we do.
Recently, Larry King sat down with Wendi McLendon-Covey and asked her what she thought of the current political race. Her answer fits perfectly under the "just like us" headline.
Watch the clip below to hear her answer.
Like many citizens, the idea a Trump presidency terrifies her. Which, in my opinion, is the only proof I need that someone is "just like me."
Do you agree with Wendi's opinion? Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think!

How many royal wedding television shows is too many? It's a trick question. You can't have too many television shows about the royal wedding. That's why this week alone you're going to be bombarded with programmes combing through every last detail of William and Kate's impending nuptials and making full use of colons in their titles. Shows such as Kate And William: A Royal Love Story, Royal Wedding Access All Areas: Blue Peter Special, William And Kate: The Story So Far, When Kate Met William: A Tale Of Two Lives, Kate And William: Romance And The Royals, William And Kate: In Their Own Words, When Royals Wed (presented by Larry Lamb and Lesley Garrett), Giles & Sue's Royal Wedding, and, inevitably, My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding.
But this still isn't enough. There are so many other potential royal wedding shows just crying out to be made, and there's still time to make them. In fact, if any enterprising producers are reading, they can have these five pitches on me.
Kate Middleton: What Does She Actually Sound Like?
A documentary following a group of Kate Middleton's friends and family members – along with leading historians and speech recognition experts – as they try to work out if any of them have ever heard her speak out loud before. Eventually they realise that, yes, they probably have but they just can't put their finger on what her voice sounded like. The show will conclude with everyone making a low, vague, listless droning noise that they think might be quite close to how she might sound.
The Other William And Kates
A Channel Four documentary about other people called William and Kate who are getting married this year. To mesh in with Channel Four's current factual output, though, all the William and Kates have to be really poor and live in a house made of shoeboxes, the narrator has to sound a bit sarcastic, and circus music has to play in the background all the time just to make them look a bit more stupid.
When Royal Weddings Go Bad
A 999-style eyewitness reconstruction show about all the crazy mishaps that have happened during previous royal weddings. However, because royal weddings are stately and choreographed, hardly any crazy mishaps ever take place. Therefore everything in this show is imagined and acted out with puppets. In episode one, Christopher Biggins recalls the incident where the Archbishop of Canterbury's hair caught fire during Princess Margaret's wedding to Antony Armstrong-Jones, Gina Yashere describes the moment when a dog pulled Prince Edward's pants off during his wedding to Sophie Rhys-Jones, and Stuart Maconie reminisces about the time he saw Prince Charles get killed and eaten by a giant spider on the steps of St Paul's.
Kate Middleton: Hen Night LIVE
A special one-off programme following our future queen as she celebrates her last night of freedom with her closest friends, broadcast live as it happens from the Reading branch of Yates's Wine Lodge. Which of her friends will burst into tears first? Has anyone bought her a stripper? Will Kate pull rank when, upon leaving the pub at 2am, she realises that the kebab van is all out of cheeseburgers? Tune in and find out.
The Greatest Moments From Shows About William & Kate's Wedding Ever
On the eve of the wedding of the century, we take a look back at some of the most memorable moments from the television shows about the wedding of the century. Remember that montage of childhood photos set to Coldplay that ushered in the third commercial break of When Kate Met William: A Tale Of Two Lives? Or David Starkey's breathtaking opening monologue in Kate And William: Romance And The Royals? Or the time Larry Lamb's hair got blown into a funny shape during the second episode of When Royals Wed? All these moments and more will be counted down, from 1,000 to one, in order, by Davina McCall, forever.
So what other brilliant royal wedding TV show ideas did we miss? Pitch your ideas below, please.

2009 Ford Expedition Review – Walkaround and Interior Features
The Ford Expedition is a truck and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. This is a good identity to have, because Ford trucks continue to have an outstanding reputation for utility, reliability and durability.
Both the long and regular-length versions of the Expedition use many of the components from the Ford F-150 pickup. However, the Expedition features independent rear suspension, which improves driving precision, ride comfort, and rear-seat roominess.
This third-generation Expedition features a three-bar grille, large headlights, and a domed hood that combine to deliver a look that's both distinctive and respectable. There are several different wheel designs, including 20-inchers with a chrome finish.
Expedition EL models stretch the wheelbase to 131 inches. Overall, the EL measures 14.8 inches longer than the standard Expedition, and that adds 22 cubic feet of cargo volume. Expedition offers 108.3 cubic feet of cargo space, while the EL delivers 130.8 cubic feet.
The Expedition and the Expedition EL are big vehicles, measuring more than 17 feet from nose to tail. As a result, crowded parking lots can be challenging. The Expedition has a turning circle of nearly 41 feet, while the EL requires 44 feet.
They're also heavy, as even the base 2WD Expedition weighs almost 6,000 pounds, and a loaded EL with 4WD will be comfortably over that.
The King Ranch model can be identified by its gold exterior accents and unique wheel design.
The Expedition comes with running boards as standard equipment. Power retractable running boards that deploy when the doors are opened are optional. Some prefer no running boards, but that doesn't appear to be an option.
Interior Features
The Ford Expedition features a rich blend of finishes, textures and color. Indeed, a King Ranch is the best representation of modern American-style luxury within Ford's lineup. Wood, chrome and leather make the Expedition an inviting place to spend a day on the road. The layout of the gauges and controls is easy to understand and no controls are too far out of easy reach.
Captain's chairs with movable armrests are standard across the four model lines. Leather-upholstered examples are available with a heating/cooling feature that makes them a more comfortable companion in winter and summer. Generous driver's-seat travel helps accommodate taller drivers, and it's a perfect match for the Expedition's movable pedals, so a wide range of sizes of drivers can sit comfortably.
The second seating row reflects Ford's thoughtful approach to passenger comfort: the standard 40/20/40 bench seat incorporates a center section that slides, bringing a child seat within easier reach of front-seat passengers. Optional second-row captain's chairs with a center-aisle pass-through can be substituted for adult-rated comfort.
Packaging advantages afforded by the Expedition's independent rear suspension enable the third-row seat to deliver more comfort for adults compared to the accommodations provided by the Chevy Tahoe. In fact, third-row room is among the best of any SUV, though three adults won't want to sit in the back for long. The high ride height also makes getting in and out a task for children.
The Expedition's liftgate with its flip-up glass hatch makes access to the cargo area very easy. The Expedition's second- and third-row bench-type seats fold flat into the cargo floor, affording a long cargo area that can be easily loaded. This means you don't have to unbolt the passenger seats and leave them on the floor of your garage every time you're making a serious run to the home improvement store. In this regard, the Expedition is much better designed than GM's large SUVs. The Expedition is also available with an optional power-folding third-row seat and electronically powered liftgate to make it even easier to load cargo. However, the seat cushions of the second- and third-row seats are a little slim in order to allow the seats to fold properly.
The Expedition is about more than convenience. A DVD-based navigation system with sizable 6.5-inch screen is available as an option. The rear-seat DVD entertainment system has an eight-inch screen that flips down from the headliner and also includes two sets of wireless headphones. A plug-in jack for an MP3 player is standard across the line. The Expedition is even a nice place to be when all the entertainment is switched off, as the combination of thick glass and a generous amount of acoustic insulation behind the dash and on the floor makes this a remarkably quiet interior; it's actually possible to have a conversation with the people in the third-row seat while you're at the wheel.
Ford's rear backup camera is less impressive than many others. The image is shown in the rear-view mirror, and is quite small. While the image is useful, obstacles are not as easy to spot as they are in systems that show their images on six- or seven-inch dash-mounted screens.

Though Chiguru does not exactly follow the official syllabus, the goal of the schools is to reintegrate the children into government schools. The children attend the 5th, 7th and 10th standard government examinations and have fared very well in them. Many students have been able to rejoin regular schools and have done exceedingly well. The school, inspired by several external sources, developed it's own methodology in teaching. There are worksheets for each class and subject available and the teachers are experienced in teaching according to the principles of alternative education.
Skills Development
Skill training is given a lot of importance because not only do the children enjoy them but are also able to explore their potential and improve their creativity. Children acquire skills in tailoring, embroidery, bag making, drawing, clay work, gardening, music, folk dance. A practical benefit is that for some children the skills they learn at school could become sources of their livelihood in future. There is also a potential for earning while learning, which has already started on a small scale.
Cultural Activities
Children in our schools spend a lot of time singing, dancing and playing. They also perform at various occasions whatever they have learnt. They perform in school programmes, village festivals and peoples' gatherings. A lot of emphasis is placed on the traditional folk songs and dances of the local area. The children enjoy these activities and learn to value their local cultural heritage.
In the day schools, a good healthy lunch is provided to the children and a small snack in the afternoon before they go home. In Timbaktu School, children get breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the afternoon, they usually have a small snack. Special emphasis is placed on the consumption of fruits and vegetables and an overall balanced diet. In many families of the children, parents either don't care much about what their children eat or are not able to buy enough food for economic reasons. However only children with sufficient nutrition are able to develop naturally, to learn and grow.

Fox's Mike Darnell told Entertainment Weekly: "What started out as a goof ended up being a ridiculously good format. It really feels like a hit. It was charming and funny... [The show] works beautifully. It's going to sell all over the world.
"The [female contestants] took it ridiculously seriously, like they were getting married. A couple of the set-ups really had chemistry."

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!
How does this work?
The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow our Features and you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to WordPress in which they do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don't have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed. All features are chosen randomly to be the feature. They are not chosen by content or name.
Lucky Devil Reviews
When did you start blogging?
I started Lucky Devil Reviews just a few weeks ago, but I actually had another book review blog a few years ago. I never really wanted or planned to quit; a personal tragedy made everything look pretty bleak and I found myself not caring about much of anything. You can read more on the "About" section of my blog if you want to know more. Anyway, fast forward to now; I finally feel like me again and had really missed reviewing and the book blogger community. Glad to be back!
What is your favorite part of book blogging?
Of course I love getting to read all sorts of amazing books and interacting with so many wonderful, interesting people. However, I would say my favorite part is knowing that my reviews are helping people; they help the authors get word out about their book and they help potential readers find a new book they might enjoy.
What type of books do you mainly blog about?
Sometimes I feel like I'm a little too broad with my tastes, but I like a wide variety of books. Basically Adult/Young Adult fiction and graphic novels/comics. Usually the books have at least some degree of romance in them.
What are your favorite books?
I could no sooner choose a favorite child! Haha, well I only have one, but that's beside the point! I can easily say my favorite graphic novel series is Saga. Fiction books are not so easy. I'll have to just go with my favorite genre: paranormal romance.
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
I actually had an interaction with a young author a couple of weeks ago. I read her book and had some issues with it, which I detailed in my review. I didn't put her down or bash the book, but not everything in it worked for me and so I was honest. I was sort of dreading her emailing me back; you never know if someone is going to get upset if your review is anything other than positive. She was absolutely gracious about it, thanking me for being so honest. This is the best thing so far that has happened since I started Lucky Devil Reviews, knowing that she understood what I was trying to say and that she seemed to really appreciate it.
You can only eat one cuisine type for the rest of your life. Which would you choose? (E.g. Italian, French, Greek, Mexican, Chinese, Indian etc…) – Suggested by Journey Through Fiction.
Oh I reject this question! Who only can eat once cuisine??? I would die. DIE. DIE! I guess I will have to go with Japanese…. I couldn't live without sushi. I would get fat just eating Italian or Mexican (ok I've already eaten too much Italian), I would ruin my stomach lining eating only Indian, Greek, like it but couldn't limit myself, same with other Middle Eastern type cuisines…OMG killing me. Ok Japanese, maybe Vietnamese.

I am the artist who ordered these items. I was disappointed with the fleece blankets. The image printed crooked on 4 of the 5 blankets and the 'plush fleece' is very different from the plush fleece blankets I ordered previously. No where near as 'plush'. These blankets were unsellable. Also, one of the tapestries showed up with a thread that was pressed right into the fabric which made it unsellable as well. The reason I didn't ship these items back was due to the fact that by the time I received the order, there was insufficient time to return the order in time to meet the '30 day' from the date ordered deadline. This is the first time I've been disappointed with an order featuring my art by way of FAA. Sadly, it makes me hesitant to order again.
Anaglyph image for red/cyan 3D glasses.
My name is Ramon Martinez. I work with experimental art in video, photography, 3D art, 3D animations, etc. about the subject the crucified female Christ. I've started my art project since early 2005 and I've named my art project "Passion Of A Goddess". I want to explain the reason for my art project: "Many artists during the past 2000 years have been interested in the picture of a crucified Jesus. One of the reasons is probably that this subject offers a lot of symbolic value as well as possibilities to manifest different expressions. Although the question raised is why these artefacts are always male? In a few cases, Jesus portraitures as a female raise negative consequences from the conservative parts of the church. The idea...

If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date. As soon as it arrives, we'll issue a full refund for the entire purchase price.

Since September of last year I've been working from home as a freelance contractor. I love how much I can get done in my yoga clothes including actual yoga in my spare bedroom! As I continue to work from the same space, I've found there are a few things I need to do to keep sane.
At least around the house, outside twice a day and longer jaunts to the park when it's not raining. I used to do laps around my office or up/downs on the stairs to keep from getting sore from a lack of motion. Now there's no one at the next desk annoying me so I have to really make sure I keep moving. The dogs keep me on my toes too, up and down a few times a day just to open the door so they go outside.
I've started doing small Saturday cleaning projects because when I stay in the same space day after day the small things really start to annoy me. Last weekend it was my bathroom drawers and cabinet. They're now organized and clean and wonderful! Today I tackled a few projects, the big one was finally dusting the last bookshelves in the office and organizing the closet.
The closet goes through phases and it's always a challenge to keep clean. When I started using dual monitors in January I stashed the boxes and corresponding cables next to the desk. Where they sat. For a month. I had an overflowing box of cables and wires and electronic junk and no space to empty the monitor boxes so I could move them to the garage. Well no more!
Now the closet is quite streamlined with Banker's boxes for papers, projects on the small table and even a basket so I can collect crap and put it away instead of throwing it inside. Of course I can always close the curtains to hide my mess but I know it's there. Mocking me. Reminding me as I work that everything is out of order.
I also managed to grab my zip ties and clean up the overflowing Medusa-esque bo of electrics that used to vex me. Here's what everything looked like when I was done:
I also found my camcorder so it's time to charge that up for my trip back East and get my DSLR ready too. The only thing I can't figure out is this pseudo-charger looking thing. It doesn't belong to my laptops, cameras, camcorder, ipad, ipod, printer, cell phone, or scanner so I'm lost. Any ideas?
One thing I hated about working in a traditional office was the background noise. Co-workers who called their boyfriend five times a day. Farmville noises. The twilight movie one person listened to daily. Music was a great way to drown out that noise and focus on my tasks. Now that I'm at home the noises are a bit different. Mostly barking dogs, a neighbor who likes Taylor Swift acapella and one particularly annoying neighbor with diesel muscle cars, no common sense and a penchant to waste gas by letting cars run and rev for hours every day.
Music once again saves me from raving at the rednecks. At least until I can find a house and move out to the country!

Dear Santabyreohoko©
A special thank-you for my inspiration, my muse; whose encouragement and motivation I would be lost without.
Dear Santa,
I am writing you this letter, because I really need some things. I have been a very good girl, in every way I could think of, even some I didn't think of myself.
Like last Spring, at the senior co-ed softball game. Poor Steve got hit by a ball in his privates. He said he was ok, but later, at the party, he and I started talking. He told me how nice I looked with my shirt tied up the way it was (you know, Santa, it's because of these big boobies when I can't find my bra). He said that he was in great pain and that I could help him.
He took me to the bathroom where he pulled it out. He was right! It was all swollen and hard, the end was all bruised and purple! Nothing like the pictures in health class! He said I could help by massaging it a little and kissing it to make it better. I massaged it for a few minutes, but when I kissed it, it started jumping in my hand and cut loose with this thick cream! I was so worried for Steve! He said no, he was ok. Well, it seems that I fixed it because before too long, all of the swelling had gone down!
After we graduated, there was this pool party at Jody's house. Her parents went off somewhere for the weekend and we planned this big party. We were all supposed to get there early to help set up, but, when I let myself in, I couldn't find anybody, so I started out to the back yard. Ricky and Jody were on the edge of the pool, kissing! I guess Jody had been sunbathing, because her top was off and Ricky was rubbing oil on her nipples. It was a little cold, they looked very hard. I went back inside to start setting up.
A few minutes later, I heard Jody cry out! I looked out and saw that she was laying on her stomach and Ricky was oiling up her bare bottom (Jody is one of the girls that doesn't like tan lines), but he was putting oil in her poo-hole with his finger! That had to hurt! I was just starting to go outside to warn him when he pulled his thing out and started to oil that, too! Like Steve's, it was all swollen and hard, with a big purple head. He then put the tip of it against her poo-hole and pushed it in quickly! Jody cried out again! I thought he was hurting her!
As I stepped out into the backyard, Jody's yelps started to sound more like moans and little laughs, so I stopped to make sure I was doing the right thing. Jody was grunting and squealing as he pounded it into her backside. All of a sudden, Ricky let out a groan and pulled his thing out of her butt. Jody whipped around and took it deep into her mouth! Ricky's hips were thrusting into her face, his eyes closed, making grunting noises. I was really confused, but when I saw that Jody seemed to be enjoying it, I backed out.
For some reason, I had goosebumps and felt tingly all over, like I do when I watch the boys at track meets. I had to take a pee. When I went to wipe after, I was all wet! The little bald man was even sticking his head out! It felt so good, I rubbed his head for a little while. I must not have locked the door because Jody came in. She asked if I had seen what she and Ricky had been doing. I told her that I had. She asked me please not to tell anybody. I have not told anybody. See what I good girl I have been?
During the first week of school in September, my new roommate, Amy (you must know her, she's blond, has no pubies, and she hangs out at the gym?), told me that I should not come into the room if she put a signal on the door. Well, one day I had to pee so bad that I ran back to the room and did not notice the signal. When I headed for the bathroom, I heard moaning from the bedroom, so I went to take a look.
Amy was in her bed, her shirt pulled up over her chest and her finger in her cunny, moving in and out. Her other hand was cupped around her boob, her fingers playing with her nipple. Her eyes were closed, she was taking short breaths, moaning and making little squeaks as her hips thrust up against her hand. Suddenly, her butt raised off the bed and she shook all over, then slowly lowered herself back to the bed and moved her hand from between her legs to her lips. Her eyes opened and she saw me. She seemed slightly surprised, then a slow smile spread across her face.
She invited me into the room. She said she wanted to show me something. She opened her knees and showed me her cunny! It was all moist and the lips (not full like mine) were out. It was all so puffy and red. Her little man is smaller than mine, but was sticking his head WAY out. She could actually reach down and grab him!
She told me that it actually felt good to do this (like I didn't already know?). She started rubbing the little man with her fingers, all the while watching me. She asked me if I did that too. I thought, 'DUH! Everyone does that!' Of course, I wasn't sure I should tell her that; but it would be a lie to tell her no; so I told her that I did.
She asked me to show her. I was a little worried, but she told me it was ok. So I pulled my gym shorts off and sat down on the edge of my bed. At her urging, I opened my legs and showed her my secret spots. She wanted me to show her everything! Like where I liked to touch, what felt good when I rubbed it and all that. It felt so good doing it, that I forgot she was there. My eyes closed as my muscles tightened around my three fingers.
Suddenly, I felt another touch. My eyes snapped open and I looked down to find Amy kneeling on the floor in front of me, licking the little man! I pulled my hand out quickly and was about to tell her no, when all of a sudden, I melted inside. It was awesome! Not like anything I had felt before! I couldn't breathe, my muscles wouldn't work, my body started to shake, but, Santa, it felt so good!
Amy put her fingers inside me. Her hand is smaller than mine, so her two fingers were not enough. I asked her for more. I begged her for more. She could put her entire hand inside me, it was so much smaller than mine. She licked the little man and was rubbing me from the inside. I felt so full! Within a few minutes, I felt that meltdown again, even more. I was shaking and shivering. I think I actually cried out. I could feel my muscles clamping onto her hand, but there was nothing I could do about it. I had lost complete control.
But I had forgotten why I had rushed home in the first place; I still had to pee. I begged her to stop so that I could go to the bathroom quickly. At least I think I did, it felt so good I could not think straight. She wouldn't let me go! But I couldn't hold it as I shivered, I had to pee. I tried to push her face away, but she pushed right back. I just couldn't hold it any more, so I peed. Right onto her face.
I was so worried about her reaction. I guess I should not have been. The look on her face was sooo happy. She pulled her hand out of me with a small pop and sat up. The pee was dripping on her face, but there were also other juices there. She brought her hand up, licked it once, then offered it to me. It smelled good and it looked like she liked it, so I licked it, too. It tasted very sweet. She moved her face closer and we licked it together. Then she wiped it onto her cheek and mine. She licked it off my cheek, so I licked it off of hers. It was quite nice.
But I was so worried about peeing! She told me that it was not a bad thing. In fact, I was quite good. I felt so much better and was so happy!
Two weeks later, she showed me some of her toys, Boy, I wish I had some of these. Santa, can you bring me some for Christmas? She has these two hard plastic things that vibrate, one pretty big and one small. Another, a long rubber tube that looked like Steve's swollen thing at both ends; THAT WAS NEAT! She showed me how we could play with it together and that was fun, too.
Amy and I went to a fraternity party together a month ago. I had never tried beer before, I think I had too much. I remember waking up in one of the boys' rooms. Amy was there, along with her boyfriend, Marc. They were playing around, Marc's hand was inside Amy's shirt, playing with her breasts, his lips were on her neck. I started getting all tingly again when Marc's hand slid down past her waistband. She quickly reached out and unzipped him, releasing the bulge I noticed in the front of his pants. He was bigger than Rick OR Steve! She quickly started to kiss it as he pulled his pants down and slipped out of them.
I watched them through slitted eyes, playing like I was still asleep. I started to get hot and bothered, though, so I made like I was just turning in my sleep and, pulling a blanket over my lap, I slipped my own hand down between my legs, finding everything all wet and runny.
Amy was now laying on her back on the couch, completely naked. Marc was kneeling between her legs, licking her special spots, just like she had taught me to do. It sure seemed like she was enjoying it, her head rocking back and forth. She was begging him to put it inside of her. He sat up, I could see his member standing straight out, aimed right at her dripping hole. He leaned forward onto her and tried to slip it inside her. He missed several times, each time she yelped.
Amy looked right at me and a smile spread across her face. She mouthed the word "help" directly at me. Not knowing exactly what to do, but trying to be as much help as I could, I got up to help. I came up behind him, trying to figure it out. I knelt down behind him. I had to reach down and pull his sac out of the way to see. The moment I touched it, his shaft jerked and he moaned, but did not turn. I took his tool in my hand and rubbed it against her wet spot, just like Amy and I did with her toys, to get it all wet and gooey. Then I pushed it inside of her. She shuddered as his hips slid forward.
Now I know what Amy taught me she likes, so I slipped my hand under and started pinching her bottom. Some of her juices were dripping and I did not want them to hit the floor, so I licked them up. One drip was sliding over her poo-hole, so I licked that too, but had some trouble with it. I had to stick my tongue into her poo-hole to get it all. She screamed and her butt started jerking and her poo-hole opened and closed on its own!
Well, I figured if Amy liked that, maybe Marc would, too, so I did it to him. I chewed a little on his butt, then licked his poo-hole. He too screamed, pushed forward hard against Amy and started thrashing.
When they calmed down, I was worried that I had hurt them, but they told me that I was very good. In fact, Amy wanted to show Marc what a good girl I was. She pushed ME back on the couch, spread my knees and pulled down my pants. She opened my lips and showed Marc my little man, tapping it and kissing it like she does. Pretty soon, my own juices were sliding down my butt. Marc removed my top and started playing with my nipples with his tongue. Then the two changed places and Marc put his face between my thighs. Boy, is he different from Amy! His rough beard stubble on my soft skin was driving me crazy!
I wanted him to put his thing inside me too, like he did for Amy, but Amy had other ideas. She took his shaft and started playing with it. I wanted to try it, too, so we started to lick it together, taking turns taking it deep down our throats like we do with Amy's toys. Pretty soon, Marc was groaning and thrusting his hips at us. Amy showed me what she called his "balls" and how cool they were to suck on. It was FUN! Then she showed me a secret spot underneath his balls. When I touched it with my fingernail, Marc's penis started shooting white goo all over Amy's boobies. It was jerking in her hand, his balls in my hand were tight and spasming too.
Marc told me that I was very good. Amy asked me to help her clean up by eating that goo off of her breasts, so I did. It was WONDERFUL. Kind of salty, but tasty. Then she kissed me to thank me. I still had some of that goo on my lips, but she didn't seem to mind.
Marc said that Amy and I were such good girls that he would make sure that we were invited to the next party at his frat house and we were!
Marc met Amy and me at the door and introduced us to his roommate, Jim. Jim's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw me; Amy and I had picked out this little tiny black mini-dress at the mall just for this party. It barely covered anything. It sure looked like Jim got hit in the crotch, judging by how he was swelling up.
Again, I think I drank too much beer. We went up to their room and they put on some music. The other three were just sitting on the couch, touching each other. I just felt like dancing, so I started to dance to the music, my eyes closed, drifting around, kinda drunk. When the music changed, I opened my eyes to see Amy naked, bent over Marc with his shaft in her mouth (I know that Marc likes that). But her butt was in the air and Jim was putting HIS thing into her cunny. She seemed to be really enjoying it, too. I wanted to help, but Amy's eyes were telling me no, so I kept dancing, peering out every now and then to watch.
I saw Amy slide up Marc's chest to kiss him, Jim pulling out. He was holding it in his own hand. How I wanted to help him! But Amy quickly lowered herself onto Marc, letting out a long slow breath as it went deep inside her. She leaned forward and Jim pushed HIS thing into her poo-hole! I could see everything from where I was dancing behind Jim.
Amy looked back at me and smiled. I could see that Marc was enjoying it too. But the view was so good and they looked like they were having so much fun, that I needed to touch myself. Amy had taught me that it was ok; I don't need to hide that I am doing that. I pulled up the hem of my dress and slid my hand into my panties. I was so wet and slimy, the little man all ready. I let out small shrieks as my body was wracked with wave upon wave of that wonderful feeling.
I wanted to join them on the couch after Amy's back arched and both Marc and Jim shot their goo into her. I sat down and they explained how that goo had to be taken out of Amy before it made her pregnant. It made sense, so I helped them get it all out. It was not easy, I had to hold her cunny open with both hands and use my tongue to get it all out. The boys watched and occasionally helped me. It got easier when Amy's own juices started to flow out of her to help wash it up far enough. When she pushed her hips into my face, I think I was able to get deep enough to get it all.
I wanted the boys to do the same thing to me, but it was getting really late and we had to study, so Amy and I had to leave. The boys promised that they would do it next time and we left. I am so looking forward to it.
And Santa, last week when Amy and I went to visit you at the mall? One of your elves gave us each these great big peppermint sticks. Well, Amy showed me how to make it taste even better. Unfortunately, we used them all up. Can you bring us new ones for Christmas?
And I am sorry about what happened, too. I know I wasn't wearing panties (somebody keeps stealing them from the laundry), but I am pretty sure it wasn't my fault. I don't think it was me that left that wet spot on the front of your pants after I sat in your lap. It was so uncomfortable because you had something very hard in your pocket that I had to keep moving around to stay comfortable.
I know there was that thing yesterday, but I am not sure that it counts. I was not wearing panties (again) because somebody stole them (again), but I still had to go to class. I wasn't paying attention when I went to leave class and I ran right into the professor. I dropped all my books and had to pick them up. When I told him I was sorry for running into him; the professor told me that I had to stay after class. He told me that I deserved a spanking for it. After he spanked me (he spanked my bare bottom HARD! I couldn't help the scream or hold back the crying), he told me that as long as I never told anybody, all was forgiven. That is ok, isn't it, Santa?
I HAVE been such a good girl this year, and there are a few things that I want for Christmas. Amy suggested that I ask for some things. I am not sure what they are for, but she promised that she would show me.
1) Could your cute little elves make me a fur lined collar? Amy says that they are quite comfortable and fun to use. She also said that a ball gag will prevent me from telling her when the collar is uncomfortable, so it is better to get a fur one.
2) Amy and I cracked one of the bedposts. The school will be very upset if we cannot get a new one. Please, can you make it is really sturdy so that me and Amy can play on it. We didn't mean to crack it. It looked like it was really sturdy.
3) Amy says I need a lot of new outfits. She says that the boys would really to see me in a cheerleader outfit, and Amy likes me in those leather and lace - like the ones Tammy has. Don't bother bringing me new underpants, somebody keeps stealing them.
4) I also want toys of my own, like the ones Amy has. Hers doesn't quite get that spot, the one that makes my whole body explode with that wonderful feeling. I just love that feeling.
And Santa? Can you bring me a boyfriend, too? One that has really bad swelling problems? I really get a good feeling between my legs when I help them with those problems.
If you can bring me those things, I would really really be grateful. Oh, and if you wake me up when you get here I can show you a neat new trick that Amy taught me, I think you might really like it. She says that if I learn all these tricks I will always be very good. I really want to show you how good I am. I promise to get busy, right away, at being good for next year's presents.
Love Always,

DevJournal is a cross-platform tool for programmers that helps them be more purposeful and reflective about their work by tracking their edits and allowing them to save a collated, annotated history of their work session.
Screen Shots
Software developers have long been aware of the benefits of using version control systems like CVS, Subversion, and Git to track and archive the changes to a program's source code as they develop it. Version control systems provide peace of mind that committed work has been backed up. If it ever becomes useful to examine older versions of a particular file, a version control system provides this capability. The problem, however, is that most version control systems use a commit-based approach, where work is not copied into the system until the programmer manually triggers a commit.
This is where DevJournal helps. It automatically polls a directory structure in the background and tracks any file modifications (including creations and deletions), logging them with metadata into a time-sorted record. DevJournal also allows the developer to at any time add a "comment" to the log. The developer can also add a console dump, or any kind of text or file attachment (screen shots, for instance). All of this data is combined and presented in a single chronological record of the programming session.
My motivation for creating DevJournal stems from personal need. Occasionally I have programming sessions where I have short bursts of editing work interspersed with long down times for code compilation or test execution. During these down times, I usually check email and the web or work on a different project. Unfortunately, this context-switching frequently causes me to lose my place and forget what edits I've done and which approaches I planned to try next. I tried using the traditional pen and paper to do this, but found that without the actual code edits, it was difficult to reconstruct earlier versions of my files. I do use a version control system, but I didn't want to have to make a commit every fifteen minutes; both because of the additional effort and because it would introduce an unacceptable level of disorder into the formal project record.
DevJournal bridges the gap between a filesystem-based "copy-on-write" backup system and a version control system. It allows me to track the changes I make and keep a record of them along with any relevant thoughts or console dumps for future reference. I've found that it has helped me to be more purposeful in my programming, and I'm less apt to repeat earlier mistakes or forget to make an intended edit. Since I suspect that other people deal with the same issues, I've decided to release DevJournal to the public as open-source under the GPL.
- Specify project folders with include/exclude regular expressions
- Automatically tracks file system changes (including creations and deletions)
- Records changes (including diffs when available)
- GUI to view/edit log
- Add comments, console dumps, and images or other files
- Merge/split events to desired level of detail
- Logs are automatically compressed to save hard drive space
- Cross-platform (written for Java 1.6+)

'Notes on Yoga: the legacy of Vanda Scaravelli', the book I co-wrote with Diane Long was published on 19th January 2017 by Pinter and Martin
Contact Sophy: firstname.lastname@example.com
I went to my first yoga class in 1970 at the former Dance Centre in Floral Street, Covent Garden. The teacher was Penny Nield-Smith, a student of B.K.S. Iyengar. Penny mainly taught large classes for the London adult education authority and never taught 'advanced' postures, but she taught a great deal about attention and awareness.
After six years, Penny encouraged me to start teaching and I attended classes with several other Iyengar teachers to expand my practice. I had a strong desire to free my body of its limitations but I never discovered a way which satisfied me. It was as though I was searching for an elusive or non-existent key.
In 1991 I met Vanda Scaravelli who invited me to become her student. In my first lesson I knew immediately that Vanda was offering me this key. After that I visited her in Italy once or twice a year to learn how to work with the principles she had discovered in her own practice. At Vanda's house I met Diane Long and recognised in her practice the same freedom that I saw in Vanda. I invited Diane to teach me and my students in London and since then we have been meeting regularly to practise and teach together.
The emphasis is not on achieving postures but using them to undo tension and find integration. The practice is an ongoing exploration of the relationship between the parts of the body and between our movements and the breath, the ground and the space around us. Gradually a new network of muscles is brought into use. Then our movements come from the spine and bring us back to the spine and the whole body pulls together. We train our attention so that we can feel more, impose less, and allow the intelligence of the body to reveal itself.

The Institute of IT Professionals (IITP) is a non-profit incorporated society in New Zealand. As New Zealand's ICT professional body, the IITP exists to promote education and ensure a high level of professional practice amongst ICT professionals. Before July 2012, IITP was known as the New Zealand Computer Society Inc (NZCS).[1]
The objects of the Institute of IT Professionals, as provided in the Institute's constitution,[2] are to:
- develop the discipline of Information Technology in New Zealand.
- foster and promote the education, training and qualification of persons practicing or intending to practice within the discipline in New Zealand.
- promote education by granting qualifications and grades of membership to members of the public in recognition of their proficiency within the discipline of Information Technology.
- promote proper conduct and set ethical standards for the discipline.
- develop or provide educational lectures, meetings, conferences and publications and to promote research within the discipline of Information Technology.
- take a public position on matters of concern to the Information Technology discipline and make submissions or advise government as appropriate.
- advance the education of the public of New Zealand in relation to Information Technology.
- promote any other related activities that are, in the opinion of the Institute, in the interests of the public or discipline.
Codes of Ethics[edit]
All IITP members must formally agree to a Code of Ethics.
The IITP Code of Ethics is mostly concerned with non-discrimination, zeal, community, skills, competence, continuous development, consequences, and conflicts of interest,[3] and contains the following 8 tenets:
- Good Faith - Members shall treat people with dignity, good faith and equity; without discrimination; and have consideration for the values and cultural sensitivities of all groups within the community affected by their work;
- Integrity - Members shall act in the execution of their profession with integrity, dignity and honour to merit the trust of the community and the profession, and apply honesty, skill, judgement and initiative to contribute positively to the well-being of society;
- Community-focus - Members' responsibility for the welfare and rights of the community shall come before their responsibility to their profession, sectional or private interests or to other members;
- Skills - Members shall apply their skills and knowledge in the interests of their clients or employers for whom they will act without compromising any other of these Tenets;
- Continuous Development - Members shall develop their knowledge, skills and expertise continuously through their careers, contribute to the collective wisdom of the profession, and actively encourage their associates to do likewise;
- Informed Consent - Members shall take reasonable steps to inform themselves, their clients or employers of the economic, social, environmental or legal consequences which may arise from their actions;
- Managed Conflicts of Interest - Members shall inform their clients or employers of any interest which may be, or may be perceived as being, in conflict with the interests of their clients or employers, or which may affect the quality of service or impartial judgement;
- Competence - Members shall follow recognised professional practice, and provide services and advice carefully and diligently only within their areas of competence
The IITP has an estimated membership of approximately 3,500 individual members, plus around 120 Corporate Partners[4] (businesses who have joined on behalf of their staff) resulting in an estimated representation of over 10,000 ICT professionals.
IITP provides for multiple membership levels depending on a member's stage of career and requirements.
Full Membership[edit]
Professional membership is for those in the ICT profession who meet certain requirements in terms of experience and qualifications.
- Member (MIITP) is the full membership level
- Fellow (FIITP) is the very senior membership level
Associate Membership[edit]
- Associate Member is a membership open to anyone who abides by the Institute's Code of Ethics
Honorary Fellowship[edit]
- Honorary Fellow (HFIITP) is a title conferred on a small number of individuals who have had a major impact on the sector, and is regarded as the highest honour in the ICT profession
Organisational Membership[edit]
- Corporate Partner is for organisations wishing to align with and support the work of the IITP (includes significant benefits for staff)
- Educational Partner is for educational institutions wishing to align with and support the work of the IITP (includes significant benefits for staff)
The Institute of IT Professionals is a single nationwide non-profit incorporated society.
Within the Institute are five branches based on geographic location, being Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, Waikato/Bay of Plenty, and Otago/Southland. The IITP also encompasses a number of Specialist Groups in topics such as Software Testing and Computer Security. IITP branches and specialist groups are staffed by volunteers.
The Institute is governed by a National Council made up of the IITP President, Deputy President, and five Councillors, with each councillor being appointed by one of the branches of the Institute.
The Institute maintains a fully staffed operational head office in Wellington and is managed by a Chief Executive who also sits on Council in a non-voting capacity.
IITP is regarded as the voice of the ICT profession in New Zealand and undertakes significant advocacy on behalf of the profession and wider sector.
IITP is represented on most ICT-related advisory groups, panels and public ICT-related boards in New Zealand, and was a founding member of the Digital Development Council,[5] a body set up by the New Zealand Government to help achieve New Zealand's digital potential.[6]
The Institute is engaged with government (both ministerial and official level), industry and academia and works as a catalyst and conduit for these three important sub-sectors to work together in the interests of the overall ICT Sector, both in the area of ethics and professional practice as well as to solve issues such as the current ICT skills shortage[7] and drop in tertiary ICT enrolments.[8]
IITP also takes an active interest in educational issues and in 2008 completed a detailed analysis of ICT-related NCEA Achievement Standards in secondary schools[9][10] and outlined a number of significant and serious problems with these standards.
The Institute also promotes digital literacy.[11]
In 2009 the Institute released an internationally aligned ICT professional certification in New Zealand, the Information Technology Certified Professional (ITCP) qualification.[12]
The IITP runs numerous events throughout New Zealand, but predominantly in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Dunedin.
As well as around 20 local events a month, the Institute began a monthly nationwide Innovators of ICT event series in August 2008, taking notable and successful entrepreneurs such as Rod Drury and Don Christie on a speaking trip to the five cities above to promote innovation and "thinking outside the square" to New Zealand's development and ICT community.
The Institute was founded as the New Zealand Data Processing and Computer Society Inc in October 1960 in Wellington, New Zealand and changed its name to New Zealand Computer Society Inc in 1967.
Honorary Fellowships[edit]
The IITP occasionally confers the title of Honorary Fellow of the IITP (HFIITP) on an individual who has made a significant contribution to the ICT sector in New Zealand over a period of time, or the Institute itself over many years.
HFIITP recipients include former Minister of ICT Hon David Cunliffe[13] and ICT entrepreneur Rod Drury. There are currently 25 Honorary Fellows.[14]
International Relationships[edit]
The IITP is a full member of the International Federation for Information Processing[15] (IFIP), an international umbrella organisation originally set up by UNESCO, and South East Asia Regional Computer Confederation[16] (SEARCC).
The Institute also works with other professional bodies around the world, such as the Australian Computer Society and the British Computer Society.

Syria accused of hiding tanks from UN observers
Beirut, (Independent): The Syrian regime was accused yesterday of playing a cat-and-mouse game with international observers as it hid tanks and used gunfire to hold back demonstrators when the UN team toured the restive city of Hama, while the presence of the handful of monitors did little to quell violence elsewhere in the country.
Activists said heavy weaponry had been removed from the streets and hidden in government compounds and warehouses ahead of the visit. One video posted online, shot from a high floor of a nearby building, shows a tank hidden behind the walls of what is said to be the Baath Party headquarters.
A fierce assault was also reported in the Damascus suburb of Douma, in which at least two people were killed according to opposition groups. Some residents took to mosque loudspeakers to warn people to take cover in basements as the shells began to rain down.
Just eight of the 30-member advance UN mission have arrived in the country so far, with two more expected today. A Security Council resolution passed on Saturday paved the way for the deployment of an expanded mission of up to 300 observers, if the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon decides it is safe for them to go. The UN-Arab League envoy for Syria, Kofi Annan, yesterday described the vote as a "pivotal moment for the stabilisation of the country".
Both government and rebels have accused each other of violations of the shaky 10-day old ceasefire.

A sudden appearance of dead fish in a lake or pond causes considerable concern and alarm for most people, whose first reaction is to suspect someone of poisoning the water body. Most fill kills, however, result from natural events, although people can influence their frequency and severity. Fish kills usually result from too little oxygen in the water, according to biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The Southwest Regional Office of the Commission covers 13 southwest Florida counties and receives between 100 and 150 fish kill reports each year. While some result from spills or illegal discharges of toxic substances, most kills occur when oxygen dissolved in the water drops to levels insufficient for fish survival. For a dissolved oxygen or DO related fish kill to occur, a combination of environmental conditions must occur simultaneously. Weather patterns, water temperature, depth and quality, amount and type of plant growth, fish community structure, along with the presence of viruses and bacteria, are all factors that are necessary to trigger a fish kill. Lakes, ponds, and canals located in residential areas are particularly vulnerable to DO-related fish kills. Developed areas create runoff that contains high amounts of nutrients from septic tanks; street and yard drainage that enters water bodies and causes water quality problems. High levels of nutrients from fertilizers applied to lawns, golf courses and farms cause aquatic plants to thrive. Ponds with high nutrient levels produce dense growths of microscopic plants called algae. When sunlight is available, algae use nutrients and produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Most oxygen available to fish comes from algae. During nighttime and cloudy weather, low sunlight causes algae to switch from photosynthesis to respiration, thereby consuming oxygen needed by fish. During severe events, fish can suffocate from low DO. Most frequently, however, fish become stressed during a low DO period and become susceptible to viral or bacterial infections. Most times, fish can tolerate temporary lags in DO levels. Fish kills occur only when several contributory factors occur simultaneously. Prolonged cloudy weather, drought conditions, overcrowded fish populations, excessive algal or other plant growths and high water temperatures are the most common factors that combine to cause fish kills. In Florida, most DO-related fish kills occur in the warmer months from May through September, although winter cold fronts can also trigger DO lags. A typical scenario occurs when fish are observed at the water surface appearing to gasp for breath. Fish usually continue to die from viral or bacterial infections for 3-4 days. Most of the time, this occurs after a period of rainy or cloudy weather. During the spring, kills involving only one species can occur and these are caused from stress brought on by spawning activities. Along coastal areas of Florida, surface and groundwater inflows of salt water can kill freshwater fishes. Decomposing vegetation from aquatic plant control operations may reduce oxygen levels in the water. If this occurs during times when other environmental conditions cause low levels of dissolved oxygen, fish kills may occur. It is essential that only herbicides that have been approved for use in aquatic sites by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) be utilized in strict accordance with the label and that consideration be given to weather conditions and DO levels prior to application. Application of pesticides to control lawn and crop insects can enter a pond during heavy rains and cause a fish kill. Use of any type of chemical pesticide should be done with extreme caution around all water bodies. Very few kills result in total loss of the population. Remaining fish can usually reproduce and quickly restore the population. Occasionally, undesirable species will tolerate low DO and dominate the population. Many people incorrectly assume that these "trash fish" have out competed sport fishes; however, this is actually a situation where hardy "trash fish" species have thrived in a situation of poor water quality that other species find intolerable. A good fishing pond can sometimes be ruined by a fish kill while others may benefit. Repeated kills may necessitate the installation of an aeration system that will maintain DO levels. People can only prevent fish kills by maintaining good water quality. Once a kill starts, there is nothing that can be done. State and most county agencies cannot clean up dead fish and private landowners must undertake the task themselves. Kills occurring on city-maintained lakes are often cleaned up by city crews. Concerned individuals can report fish kills to the Commission, especially if they suspect that a kill is a result of toxic spills. Discussions with pond owners often lead to determinations of cause and Commission biologists can provide recommendations to prevent future kills. On-site investigations are done on water bodies with public access and when environmental laws have been broken. Should anyone suspect that a fish kill be a result of unnatural causes, they should call the Commission listed in the inside cover of their telephone directory. Private pond owners can obtain the advice of a Commission biologist by calling a local Regional Office.

No Spend Month
We've read about people doing "No Spend Months" before and have been gearing up to do it ourselves this month. It basically means we'll just spend a budgeted amount on necessities - no extras.
We've followed Rachel at Small Notebooks the past two summers as her family did it, but every time we wanted to try- there was always something we were going to need, or some extra expense we HAD to make so we held off until another month when we wouldn't need anything. What we finally realized is that month will never come - and that's kind of the whole point.
Our budget is always pretty bare bones, but this month we'll cut out any little extras or spontaneous purchases. We're looking forward to becoming more aware of where our money goes, becoming more content with what we have, and more importantly, having extra time and brain power because we won't be researching possible purchases, flipping through catalogs, or shopping online.
One thing we plan to do with that extra time and energy is get rid of stuff. The first step in making your home more comfortable is probably actually decluttering and having less rather than more. Once you have more space you may actually find you don't need the stuff you were going to purchase because you're pleased with the clean appearance of your home.
Has anyone tried a "no spend" month or something similar? How did it work for your family?
