Should You Stop Consuming Dairy? What the Experts Say
Food: About the time you think you've got it down, along comes a barrage of expert advice about something you thought was healthy. Now it's unhealthy, over-processed, or worse – a carcinogen.
Dairy Products: What's the Ruling?
The naysayers say that humans were not meant to eat dairy; in fact, 75% of the world's population is lactose-intolerant. As babies, our bodies produce an enzyme to help digest milk. Many adults, lose that ability.
Other nutrition experts cite the fact that 250ml of milk contains more nutrients than most other foods. Nutritionist Andy Bellatti says, "Every nutrient in milk can be found in whole plant foods." The problem is, not as many people eat whole plant foods as should.
Dairy Pros
A 2016 UK Public Health Report addressing overweight populations said, "Eating a diet rich in full-fat dairy – cheese, milk, and yoghurt – can lower the chance of obesity." Here are experts' reasons for why you should include dairy in your daily diet:
• 250ml contains:
◦ Calcium 28%RDA
◦ Vitamin D 24%RDA
◦ Potassium 10%RDA
◦ Phosphorous 22%RDA
◦ Vitamins A, B1, B6, Selenium, Zinc, Magnesium
In some families, introducing kale, chard, figs, canned salmon – all calcium-rich foods – doesn't sit well with youngsters; ergo, milk.
Yoghurt's probiotics improves digestion, overall health, and even reduces the risk of some diseases.
Dairy foods can lower blood pressure as well as lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Dairy Cons
Does milk make our bones stronger? "There's very little evidence that milk consumption is associated with reduced fractures," says Walter Willett, MD,PhD. In Asian countries where little dairy is consumed, there's no evidence of greater bone fractures. Other expert dairy detractors say:
•The levels of potassium are too high and milk is relatively high in calories.
•There's an increased risk of prostate cancer associated with milk. The evidence is "somewhat mixed," says Dr. Willett, but there's a slightly higher risk of ovarian cancer for women who drink 3 or more servings of milk daily. Calcium supplements – but not dairy products – may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
•There's no evidence that dairy prevents osteoporosis. "In fact, the animal protein it contains may help cause bone loss!" says Mark Hyman, MD.
•Dairy aggravates IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
The Udder Truth
You can live and eat well, including dairy in your diet. If you tolerate dairy, by all means, eat/drink it. Make your decisions wisely, based on knowledge, as to how much and which dairy products you can and should consume. If you are one of the 75% of the world's population that suffer from lactose intolerance, you have many nutritional options. You can live and eat well, without dairy in your diet. There are delicious almond, soy, and cashew milks available. Many leafy greens and proteins include all the nutrition found in dairy.

From Montreal, Quebec, Canada:
My four year old son gets two to three insulin shots per day, and even though I rotate sites, he gets bruises and red patches that swell for days in all locations. They look painful, and lately, he has been complaining more and more that his shots hurt. Am I doing his shots incorrectly or is this another problem?
I would look at several things:
- Are you re-using syringes? Needles will dull and the lubricant on the needle will wear off with repeated use causing bruising.
- Is the injection going too shallow? If the angle of the injection is too shallow, much of the insulin may be going just under the skin and irritating it.
- How is the injection site prepared? Are you using alcohol to clean the site? If so, this may be drawn under the skin with the injection and causing irritation.
- A very remote thought is allergy -- allergy to latex (a component in some syringes and vial stoppers) or insulin allergy (sometimes to the components in the insulin like zinc or protamine).
It would be wise to check with your son's physician to begin to rule out these possibilities.
Additional comments from Dr. Larry Deeb:I wonder if there might not be some allergy to insulin or some component. Likewise, there might be some problems with blood clotting if there are bruises.
Additional comments from Jane Seley, diabetes nurse specialist:You need to go back to the endocrinology office to have someone watch your injection technique and look at the skin reactions. Occasionally, people have allergic reactions to some of the preservatives in insulin, and you need to have these possibilities investigated.
Additional comments from Dr. Donough O'Brien:The most probable explanation is that you are injecting the insulin into muscle rather than subcutaneously. There are several ways in which this can happen such as using too long a needle. Normally you should pinch up the skin at the injection site and inject vertcally into the subcutaneous tissue using a short ultrafine needle. After slowly injecting you should remove the needle but keep pressure on the area and gently massge it for a few seconds. Sometimes the problem is related to tensing of the underlying muscles perhaps from injection phobia or perhaps the insulin itself stings e.g. glargine. You might also consider using the Inject-Ease® device.
Additional comments from Dr. Stuart Brink:Could be you are injecting too superficially. You should discuss this with your diabetes team and have them watch what you are doing to see if there is some technique problem. You could also have a child with an insulin allergy. This is quite rare with the current very pure synthetic insulins but still happens. In this case, changing to a different type or brand of insulin may help. Sometimes cold insulins do the same thing you describe -- hives or local irritation -- and making sure that the insulin is not cold to the touch will then help.

For some time now I've thought the media was broken, and broken badly. Last night on the local 10 o'clock news, the Denver NBC station spoke briefly about Joe Biden's speech and then immediately went to some Republican hack who spent his time slamming everything Democratic.
This country is so broken I'm beginning to have my doubts about it ever being put back together again. If, and that's a big if, John McCain somehow wins this election, I think he'll serve only one term. I also think Republicans will lose several seats in the Senate and House so we'd most likely have a veto proof majority in the Senate and life would be very interesting for a President McCain.
With all the fiber in my being, I hope this doesn't happen. I am still having trouble with the whole PUMA thing and the amount of vitriol coming from the very angry Hillary supporters. These folks are apparently livid and nothing the Democratic Party, the Clintons, or Obama does at this point will make a difference for them. They are mad and are doing everything in their power to sabotage the Obama presidency. I don't think they realize that Hillary won't be able to get elected in 2012 if Obama loses because it will be clear to many people that the Clintons had a hand in the defeat.
It also appears most of the PUMA members are women, and I struggle mightily with their willingness to throw away Roe v. Wade because they feel the Democratic Party turned its back on them. It feels as though these people are unreachable and unreasonable. Unfortunately, they remind me of right wingers who are devoid of logic. <big sigh>
For the record, I thought the best, most stirring speech last night was John Kerry's.

I haven't posted in forever and Abbie is growing up so fast. She loves to turn over from her stomach to her belly because she hates being on her stomach. We even got her a tummy time mat to bribe her to lay on her stomach and yet again she turns over to avoid being on her stomach.
She loves sitting up and standing up and is a JOY to be around. Here are some fun pictures from this past month.
Can you tell I am excited that we got her into her new swimming suit We went swimming for FHE and she was stiff as a board while in the water.
One of the few moments when she didn't scream while on her belly. :)
She met her new cousin this past weekend. She is three times Bryann's size. Aren't they both adorable!!
NO SHE IS NOT WEARING LIPSTICK!! She just really likes strawberry topping on cheesecake. Her Grandpa Black shared with her.

I always think of Mork when I type Greetings.
Anyway, here are the likes for this week to share with Lee Ann at Not Afraid of Color
1. My Janome 6600 sewing machine. When I purchased this new machine, extended table, travel contraption, accessories, I felt like I arrived in the quilting world! Based on the expense alone, I should have. Just kidding. It has been worth every dollar.
I especially like the cutter button and threading feature. I use a lesser machine, Singer Confidential , when I travel for classes etc and really have to adjust to a machine without these features. I have to use the other machine because the Janome is too heavy for my back to lift from house to car to destination and back. I have had my Janome a few years but haven't really spent the time to use some of the fancier stitches. Someday.
2. My Singer Touch and Sew model 646 machine. It is in the original cabinet and is about 50 years old and in good condition. The bobbin winds under the plate! very cool. I acquired it from a co-worker who wanted to get rid of it! I did give her some money for it. I only use it for piecing scrap strip blocks. This machine is a workhorse. I can take it out of the cabinet any time, sit down and sew-quiet and dependable. I've had it a few years and haven't gotten it serviced-need too I guess. Disconnecting it from the cabinet should be fun. Some of you may remember it from Home Ec in the 60's.
3. My local quilt shop, Quilted Country Bear in Glendale, Az. It's small, personal and fun. The ladies are so helpful AND TALENTED. I attend a monthly WIP day and it feels like a mini retreat every time.
These are just a few of the "likeables" for me. Hope you all enjoy your day and link up with LeeAnn for more.

I grew up in a Singer Family. When I splurged on a Bernina I thought how could a sewing machine cost $1500 ?? It was half price as they were closing out the 1600 line. Well it was the best investment I ever made. It has had three motherboards at this point and I'll keep it happy long as I can. The new one I like is about $5000 and I only paid 54,000 for my first home!ReplyDelete
I remembered Home Ec today too... I learned so much in that class. LeeAnna
I have a very low end Janome that I love, but also an older Singer that my hubby gave me for Christmas when we were first married. I keep thinking I should get it back out and see what it's like to sew with! I love visiting quilt shops when we're traveling, so will keep the one you mentioned in mind! Happy Thursday, Mary!ReplyDelete
Love your I Spy quilts, Mary. Lovely machines. How lucky to have a shop nearby with your get together stitching group...fun and learning too.ReplyDelete

Chelsea will bounce back quickly, says Gary Lim
(Harry Kane 30, 52, Danny Rose 44, Andros Townsend 45+4-pen, Nacer Chadli 78)
(Diego Costa 18, Eden Hazard 61, John Terry 87)
Chelsea tripped, stumbled and fell flat on the face.
On the first day of 2015, white-hot Tottenham Hotspur served the Blues a stunning 5-3 beating at White Hart Lane.
Jose Mourinho did his usual.
The Chelsea manager blasted the referee, insinuated at injustice and blamed the whole world for conspiring against them.
But he'll get over this soon enough, and so will Chelsea.
This might be the Blues' worst performance of this season, but it's not a disaster. They are not even close to one.
This is only their second loss in all competitions. They have gone only two league games without a win.
So, Manchester City drew level on points and goal difference with them at the top of the league table.
So what?
Let's not get carried away.
Chelsea had long been cloaked in a sense of infallibility, ever since they began the campaign in blistering fashion.
In fact, 11 games into the season, an overseas bookmaker even paid out £400,000 ($820,000) to those who backed them to win the league title.
It is precisely why this defeat by Spurs was magnified several times and scrutinised down to the minutest detail.
Suddenly, a backline that was heralded as the league's best was crucified.
Overnight, their title credentials are being questioned, as if this is bound to be the start of a very rough patch.
But this might be about as bad as it can get for Chelsea.
Mourinho raised the bar in the English top flight when he first joined Chelsea in 2004.
For two years, the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger waited for an "inevitable blip", but it never came, as Mourinho swept the league crown back-to-back.
Consistency and mental strength are the hallmarks of his teams.
They have a gift of grinding out results when they don't play well and striking when it's least expected.
Mauricio Pochettino deserves credit for taking the fight to Chelsea. Spurs beat the opponents at their own game through sheer power and pace.
Striker Harry Kane, the jewel in the crown, taunted and teased the Blues defence like no other. The Spurs midfield dominated their counterparts.
This performance should give Mourinho some food for thought, in particular his reluctance to give his first-choice players a much-needed breather when he had the chance.
This season, only 18 players at Chelsea have been given Premiership starts.
The number is significantly less than other more established Premiership sides - Arsenal (22 different players), Man City (22), Liverpool (23), Spurs (23) and Man United (24).
In hindsight, fatigue might have played a part.
The starting back-four positions, for instance, have been rotated among only five players this term, and even then Filipe Luis managed only four starts.
But even in defeat, Chelsea continued to strike fear in their opponents.
When their most outstanding performer Eden Hazard scored in the 61st minute to narrow the deficit to 4-2, the unease in the Spurs team was palpable.
It was only until Nacer Chadli restored the three-goal lead through a deflected shot that the hosts began to breathe easy once more.
This is not a sign of a team going through a blip.
This is just one game, one bad day at the office.
Chelsea are built on solid ground.
Despite this display, they still possess arguably the sturdiest defence.
In Diego Costa, they have the Premiership's joint-top scorer (14 goals), and in Cesc Fabregas, the league's most prolific assist-maker (14 assists).
The chance to reignite their title charge comes in their very next league fixture, at home on Jan 10.
The opponents? Newcastle, the team who inflicted on them their first loss of the season.
Watch Chelsea get back on their feet.
Was there a 'campaign' against Chelsea?
STOPPED: Tottenham Hotspur's Nacer Chadli is fouled by Chelsea's Willian.
Jose Mourinho complained there was a "clear campaign" against his Chelsea side following the draw at Southampton. PA Sport assesses whether key decisions were fair during the Tottenham -Chelsea clash yesterday morning (Singapore time).
Eden Hazard narrowly kept the ball in out wide and whipped a shot past Diego Costa - the striker was being marked by Kyle Walker - which rebounded off the post to Oscar.
His shot was tapped in by Costa. Spurs defenders' appeals were in vain.
Decision: Goal for Chelsea. Correct.
Jan Vertonghen fell on to the ball after blocking Oscar's run, as the Brazilian playmaker and Mourinho appeal for a penalty.
No one else nearby did and referee Phil Dowd was unmoved.
Decision: Play continued. Correct.
Gary Cahill flew in late on Harry Kane and Dowd had no hesitation in pointing to the spot.
The Chelsea defender's challenge gave him no choice just before half-time, but Mourinho came out of the break, talking into the official's ear.
Decision: Penalty. Correct.
Mourinho continually complained in the second half when Hugo Lloris took his time to put the ball back into play with a goal-kick.
Decision: Play continued. Mourinho had a point.
The Chelsea boss erupted when Hazard burst forward and went down under the challenge of Federico Fazio.
Mourinho complained to fourth official Andre Marriner and wanted a red card as the Spurs defender was the last man, but replays showed Fazio won the ball.
Decision: Play continued. Correct.
Vertonghen kicked the ball out because Costa took a blow to the head. Rather than return the ball, Fabregas took the throw-in as normal and won a corner, which Spurs cleared.
Decision: Play continued. Grey area, and in Chelsea's favour on this occasion.
Mourinho to rest players against Watford
Jose Mourinho will aim to balance a refreshed team with a winning one when Chelsea host Watford in the FA Cup third round tomorrow.
Rather than send his front-line players into battle after an arduous festive schedule that saw them lose their advantage at the top of the EPL table, Mourinho is likely to rotate his options.
"Obviously, we are going to rest a couple of players. That's normal," he said.
"And give a chance to other people to play and to show (what they can do).
"Obviously, we want to try to beat Watford but, at the same time, we have to analyse the players' conditions and make the right decisions for them."
Striker Diego Costa and forward Eden Hazard are among the regulars who could be rested.
Petr Cech could replace Thibaut Courtois in goal, depending on the severity of the latter's finger injury, while Oscar, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic are not likely to start. Ramires, who has been plagued by a niggling groin injury, could feature. - PA Sport.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—New figures show there were more burglaries of homes evacuated during the Waldo Canyon fire than initially thought.
The Gazette reports ( http://bit.ly/QKsjhO) Colorado Springs police are confirming burglaries in 42 homes and 43 cars of evacuees. Police said July 11 they had confirmed 37 home burglaries and 28 car break-ins.
Two people have been arrested on suspicion of burglarizing one of the homes.
An anonymous donor has offered $50,000 as a reward for people with information about the other break-ins.
The wildfire fire burned across about 29 square miles in the Colorado Springs area after it started June 23. It killed two people and burned 359 homes, making it the most destructive in state history. The blaze was fully contained by July 10. Its cause is under investigation.

flydubai - Dubai's low-cost carrier approached us to help them with a full rebranding exercise in 2011.
The challenge the company faced was in speaking to largely low-income sectors from an increasing number of different countries and territories. Our solution was to build a brand that relied less on language and more on visuals to cut through language barriers.
Built on the values that made the business so different from other airlines, we created a humble, simple and friendly brand and developed detailed guides around every aspect of the brand to ensure it could be replicated accurately as it moved into new regions.

JCCF's funding will run out at the end of this year. The College has concluded that this Center is not sustainable in the current economic climate. Indeed, these are very challenging times in the worlds of journalism and education.
JCCF thanks the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the College, the University System of Maryland Foundation and other foundations that have contributed to our successful run as the nation's only journalism center devoted to deepening coverage of children and families. We also wish to thank all of the people who have served on our staff, advisory board and as judges in our annual Casey Medals for Meritorious Journalism contests.
I came to JCCF nearly three years ago. During my tenure, I expanded the Casey Medals program, developed and taught a new undergraduate journalism course on covering children, youth and families, launched a new website, shared best practices and other resources on covering child deaths, New American Children, and sex trafficking of minors in the U.S. This year, JCCF administered the Equal Voice Journalism Fellowship and Scholarship competition for the Marguerite Casey Foundation. And we received a grant from the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Foundation to create LIFELines: Stories from the Human Safety Net, an original reporting project set to launch in a few weeks. Finally, JCCF is working with the Aspen Institute and the Annie E. Casey Foundation to produce an Aspen Forum on Journalism, Race and Society to be held this December.
This has been a very productive year. It's been especially rewarding teaching my students that compassion and empathy are as important in journalism as in life. I am particularly proud of having influenced the AP Stylebook to recommend that news outlets no longer use the offensive phrase "illegitimate children."
It has truly been an honor to serve as the director of JCCF. Keep fighting for the air time, the word count, the column inches and the resources to deliver stellar reporting about children, youth and families. Keep building bridges with youth media in your communities. Keep telling stories that change lives.

The wife of retired champion jockey AP McCoy is taking a trip down memory lane to Warwick Racecourse where he had his "greatest achievement" in breaking an all-time record.
On Wednesday May 20, Chanelle McCoy will host the Ardencote Ladies Day at the course where McCoy beat Sir Gordon Richards' long-standing record of 269 winners in a season on Valfonic in April 2002.
The finale to Warwick's first season as an all-jumps track will feature fashion shows, best dressed competitions, live performances from singer Andrew James and an action-packed afternoon of racing.
Chanelle said: "It's lovely to be asked to host Ladies Day at Warwick. Warwick is a racetrack that AP really has fond memories of and he loved riding around there.
"When people ask AP what his greatest achievement was in his career, he says it was beating Sir Gordon Richards' record at Warwick which is why it's such a special place."
McCoy bid an emotional farewell to racing at Warwick's sister Jockey Club course Sandown Park in April after 20 champion years.
Chanelle said: "For us as a family, it was the most incredible weekend. He never thought he would get that level of affection from the racing public and was very chuffed with it but also a little bit embarrassed because he is a humble type of guy.
"He is not the most emotional guy so for him to shed a tear just showed how overwhelmed he was. For me, there was a huge sense of relief when he jumped the last hurdle because we had got him retired in one piece and injury free, and he was able to walk out of the sport. There are a lot of jockeys who have not been able to do that.
"After the relief, it was very much a celebration. The whole weekend was idyllic."
Further information including admission prices, which start from £13.50 in advance, are available at warwick.thejockeyclub.co.uk

Vadikan are a band from Russia that plays a very melodic form of gothic/doom metal with some death and black metal influences and this is a review of their 2013 album "Hydrargyrum" which was released by Metal Scrap Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a only a small amount of blast beats being utilized at times, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout the recording, a s for the synths when they are utilized they bring a very dark, atmospheric and gothic sound to the recording as well as a brief use of violins.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast gothic/doom metal riffs that utilize some dark sounding melodies, death and black metal influences in the riffing as well as a brief use of soft and clean playing, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding gothic metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals range from clean singing female gothic metal vocals with some deep growls and high pitched screams that bring the death and black metal influences to the recording, while the lyrics cover dark and poetic themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Vadikan are a very great sounding melodic gothic metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Break The Templates" "Chestnut Candles" "I Remember You" and "Wicked Love". RECOMMENDED BUY.

Title: Anew (Archers of Avalon #1)
Author: Chelsea Fine
Genre: YA/Romance/ Paranormal & Fantasy
Release Date: December 7, 2011
My Rating:
My Review:
Anew, book one in the Archers of Avalon series, is a spectacular and stunning debut by Chelsea Fine. This book is so wonderful!
Scarlet woke up stranded in a forest at fifteen. Alone and abandoned, she could recollect absolutely no memories and could only grasp her name; her only sense of identity. She struggles to adjust, but with the help of her best friend and guardian, she copes. Scarlet meets a strange boy who reminds her of something familiar, but she can't quite place how she remembers him, but one thing's for sure: he knows the secrets of her past that she has been clawing at for years, and she will do anything to retain her memories and to find out who she really is.
The beginning of this book really grabs your attention because the plot-line is just so mysterious and intriguing. The complete sense of hopelessness and desire (desire for her identity, that is) really shone through in the narration.
There is a love triangle, which I am not a big fan of, mostly because I hate seeing people become heartsick. Scarlet's main love interest becomes more and more apparent the farther into the book you get.
I can't give too much away, but Scarlet's past is very interesting, and the story behind Scarlet and guy #1 and #2 is actually pretty sad.
Overall, I am giving Anew a 4/5 because I loved the plot-line, the love-sick characters, and all of the emotional complexities that Scarlet has to deal with.

I don't think that I could write about my Soho experiences without devoting a post to the Cronut. The Cronut has become an international sensation since its creation in 2013; and the bakery that sells the Cronut is located directly across the street from my apartment – which is not so great for my ass!
The Cronut is the unique creation and signature pastry of the Dominique Ansel Bakery. It is essentially a doughnut, made from croissant dough, fried in grape seed oil then rolled in sugar, filled with cream and topped with a glaze. And I have to say, it doesn't suck. In fact, it is pretty divine. The question is, would I wait in a line 50 deep at 6am, in the bitter cold for a taste? The answer is no, which is why my best friend and I, sent her children out, to do so – God bless their little hearts!
But as the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm and their first attempt ended in failure because the Cronuts sell out each morning by 9:30. So the very next day, the kids left nothing to chance and rose with the roosters to be first in line at 5:45am.
The bakery is small and its space doesn't lend itself to mass production, so Dominique Ansel limits each cronut order to two cronuts per customer. This also serves well in keeping the demand high and so the mania continues. But it's more than hype. Dominique Ansel is true artisan and his passion can be tasted in every delectable bite. His creations are unique and he continues to innovate creating other delectable treats such as the Cookie Shot and the Frozen S'more. Mmmm mmmm.

Some fossil species are still living (Talk.Origins)
Claim CB930:
- Some species, such as the tuatara, horseshoe crab, cockroach, ginkgo, and coelacanth, are "fossil species." They have not evolved for millions of years.
Source: Whitcomb, John C. Jr. and Henry M. Morris, 1961. The Genesis Flood. Philadephia, PA: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co., pp. 176-180.
CreationWiki response:
Living fossils show more than just a lack of evolution. Many do not have a continuous fossil record, showing that a lack of an organism's presence in certain rock layers does not mean that they were not living when the rock was laid down. The entire evolutionary interpretation of the fossil record is based on these two assumptions:
- An organism's appearance in the fossil record shows when it first evolved
- An organism's disappearance from the fossil record shows when it went extinct.
Living fossils show that these assumptions are wrong and that other factors determine where an organism is found in the fossil record.
(Talk.Origins quotes in blue)
- The theory of evolution does not say that organisms must evolve morphologically. In fact, in an unchanging environment, stabilizing selection would tend to keep an organism largely unchanged. Many environments around today are not greatly different from environments of millions of years ago.
In pre DNA evolution theory this would be true, but the discovery of DNA changes this. Mutations occur in DNA even in an unchanging environment; natural selection would not weed out harmless mutations, so some would survive and accumulate. It some cases the theoretical time is hundreds of millions of years. Enough such mutations would have accumulated that there should be more differences than are actually observed. Furthermore, Talk Origins is implying only a few million years, while in some cases the theoretical time is 100+ million years. Even in the deepest oceans the environment would not be unchanging for 100+ million years.
- Some so-called fossil species have evolved significantly. Cockroaches, for example, include over 4,000 species of various shapes and sizes.
The diversification of cockroaches into 4,000 varieties is insignificant in comparison to what is needed to go from microbes to man. Cockroaches are short-lived, compared to men, and have had more mutations than humans and our alleged ancestors.
Species may also evolve in ways that are not obvious. For example, the immune system of horseshoe crabs today is probably quite different from that of horseshoe crabs of millions of years ago.
And what evidence is there for this? This a totally evolutionary assumption with no basis in fact.
The problem of stasis is a major challenge to evolutionary theory: The Coelacanths show no change in the supposed 400 million years they have existed, while humans were supposed to have undergone radical evolution in reproductive systems and skeletal structures in less than 1 million years.

Strawberry Candy Vodka
Strawberry candies. Every place in the world has them. Grandma's house has them. The doctor's practice has them. Even the funeral parlor has them. It's like the one stop shop for the end of someone's life. That might sound harsh, but honestly every place has them because they're damn delicious.
Look at them. They look beautiful. How could you not like them? It's next to impossible.
They even look like strawberries. They are ripe for the picking.
This is what they would look like musically if you could express them on a sideways bar graph. Vertical axis is "How your day is going." and the horizontal axis is, "How much you want them." Only when your day is kind of average, you forget that you want them. Any other time, they're good to go.
They even look delicious in a pile.
And now we wait at the funeral parlor for them to be recycled.
Only takes a few days and they're fully dissolved. The inner strawberry filling takes a bit longer than the outside, but that's fine. It eventually dissolves properly. This amount gives off a good level of flavour, so you should be able to get your buzz on. It's just not... Perfect.

It really is amazing what can be done with photographs isn't it? I should learn to do some of that. Problem is, I find it challenging enough just getting my digital photographs printed let alone doing anything fancy with them!!! I'd admire those who do though!!! :)

Being always short on volunteers for the Bristol rehoming for bhwt I roped in my friend to help put. She is not keen on hens and would not want to touch one (unless it was on her plate) but very kindly gave up her sunday to assist us. We gave her an excellent job for someone who has worked in the financial industry and her work with the police involved speaking to members of the public on all situations so doing the registrations and taking the money suited her down to the ground. She also supplied us with drinks and biccies in the lulls between rehoming and surprised both me and herself by throughly enjoying the day. She had heard me banging on enough about the state some of the girls are in but seeing it first hand she was shocked at all the bare botties, crooked beaks and lack on feathers. Some of the girls had absolutely no feathers on their wings at all! We had only one poorly who looked like she would be okay being rehomed with a vet nurse which was brilliant, how hardy these girls are. It was lovely to see some of them 'dustbathing' in chiipped straw, one girls was only visible by her head. We put 125 in one stable to rehome first , the other 125 in the stable next door.
My other friend had booked 6 hens for me to take to her near Gloucester. I said I would have the 6 left from the first stable as didnt want to choose, but 2 did choose themselves. One light gingery girl was so relaxed when I picked her up (ok when I lunged at her) as was another one later on so I put a bit of purple spray on their backs to save with the remaining 4 left in that stable. Naturally quite a few times when I went to grab a girl for the rehomers one of the purples just stood waiting to be scooped up again for a cuddle!
If they are doing a rehome in you area please give it a go….you may have legs that feel like you have been riding bareback for 2 days but you will be filled with immense joy

Given that ferrets have become somewhat popular as pets, the amount of food and treats in stores that have ferrets on the front of the bag (or box) has grown as well. However, not all of these consumables are actually appropriate for ferrets. Unfortunately, a lot of stuff gets sold as "ferret food" or "ferret treats" that are totally inappropriate for our tubular cat-snakes, and can even cause major health problems! In this post, I will cover what to look for when buying kibble, treats, and other prepackaged foods for ferrets, and how to make your own healthy treats at home.
First and foremost, it's important to remember that ferrets are obligate carnivores. This is defined as "An animal that necessarily subsists on a diet consisting mainly of meat, because it does not possess the physiology to digest vegetable matter." Ferrets lack a cecum (a pouch at the beginning of the large intestine that, in herbivores, food is stored while bacteria breaks down the cellulose), and so ferrets are largely unable to digest plant matter.
Some people choose to feed their ferrets a "BARF" diet, or "Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods". This mimics what the domestic ferrets' ancestors ate in the wild: whole prey items including rodents, reptiles, amphibians, bird chicks, and occasionally eggs. Feeding whole prey ensures a good balance of protein and other nutrients, because prey items also include bones, hair, etc. However a BARF diet isn't ideal for all ferret owners. There's a higher cost associated with these whole prey items, and they're not as convenient as kibble. There's also the possibility of bacterial contamination, rot, and other hygiene concerns. There's also a higher chance of intestinal blockages and punctures due to bones and other parts of the prey item. Finally, many ferrets are raised on kibble for the first several months of their lives. Ferrets quickly imprint on their food, and may be reluctant or refuse to try new foods, especially after six months of age.
My husband and I chose to go with a kibble-based diet, supplemented with plenty of high-quality "wet foods" (detailed below) and treats on a daily basis.
All dry kibble will have to contain some plant matter (as a filler and/or binding agent). Unfortunately this is unavoidable. However, not all kibble is created equal. Here are some things to look out for when selecting dry food for your ferrets:
- Five of the first six ingredients should be meat-based protein. This can include animal meat, bone and bone meal, fish, and eggs.
- NONE of the ingredients should contain wheat, corn, rice, or other grains.
- Acceptable plant materials include flax, beets, tapioca, and fruits and vegetables. Keep in mind that these should be as far-down on the ingredients list as possible. There is some debate as to whether or not pea fiber is acceptable, but I haven't found to be a problem for my girls.
- Meat protein content should be 35% or higher.
- Fat content should be 18% or higher.
- Taurine is required for normal heart muscle and eye function. It's present in poultry and fish, but many high quality ferret and cat foods add extra taurine as well.
- It's okay to give your ferrets cat food! Ferrets and cats have very similar nutrition requirements, so a high-quality cat food will work for your ferrets as well. However, avoid dog food and dog treats, as dogs' nutritional requirements are somewhat different than ferrets', and dog food is more likely to contain higher portions of plant protein.
Unfortunately when we purchased our ferrets, we were advised by the pet store to maintain them on Marshall Ferret Kibble (because they are Marshall ferrets). In fact, the one-year warranty that comes with Marshall ferrets is only honored if you keep feeding them Marshall kibble. Unfortunately Marshall kibble is TERRIBLE for ferrets, and is likely to cause major health problems after only a few years!
Ferret Edu has an outstanding spreadsheet that is kept up-to-date with a list of almost 100 types of kibble, with details on protein, fat, fiber, and main ingredients. This was a great resource when I was deciding what kibble to get for my girls. I bought three different types (detailed below), and mixed them in large air-tight containers.
The higher quality was immediately evident. When swapping any pet to a new kibble, you should introduce it slowly, mixing a small amount with their existing kibble, and increasing the percentage over a couple of weeks. Well, that didn't work, because the girls immediately started ignoring the Marshall kibble and eating only the higher-grade food. It's darker, and smells more rich and meaty. We just stopped giving them the inferior kibble after a week or so, because they kept tossing it around the cage to get at the better quality food.
Kibble #1: Wysong Epigen 90 Digestive Support
This is hands-down the highest quality ferret food money can buy, PERIOD. And when you buy four-5lb bags at $99, it amounts to nearly the same price per pound as much lower quality kibble! ($5 per pound versus $4.85!)

Kibble #2: EVO Turkey & Chicken Cat Food

Fat: 22%
Fiber: 2.5%
Ingredients: Turkey, Chicken, Chicken Meal, Tapioca Starch, Chicken Fat, Herring, Pea Fiber, Salmon Meal, Natural Flavors, Potassium Chloride, Apples, Eggs, Carrots, Menhaden Oil, Peas, Cranberries, Alfalfa Sprouts, Pumpkin, Tomatoes, Cottage Cheese, Dried Chicory Root Extract, Minerals (Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Calcium Iodate), DL-Methionine, Vitamins (Betaine Hydrochloride, Niacin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Beta Carotene, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Biotin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid), Taurine, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E Supplement, Direct Fed Microbials (Dried Enterococcus faecium, Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus, Dried Lactobacillus casei), Rosemary Extract
Kibble #3: Petcurean Go! Fit & Free Chicken/Turkey/Duck Cat Food
Protein: 48%
Fat: 18%
Fiber: 1.5%
Ingredients: Chicken Meal, De-boned Chicken, De-boned Turkey, Duck Meal, Turkey Meal, Salmon Meal, De-boned Trout, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), Natural Fish Flavour, Peas, Potatoes, Whole Dried Egg, Potato Flour, Tapioca, De-boned Salmon, De-boned Duck, Salmon Oil, Pumpkin, Apples, Carrots, Bananas, Blueberries, Cranberries, Lentil Beans, Broccoli, Spinach, Cottage Cheese, Alfalfa, Sweet Potatoes, Blackberries, Papayas, Pineapple, Phosphoric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, DL-Methionine, Taurine, Choline Chloride, Dried Chicory Root, Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Enterococcus faecium Fermentation Product, Dried Aspergillus niger Fermentation Product, Dried Aspergillus oryzae Fermentation Product, Vitamins (Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Inositol, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (a source of vitamin C), Thiamine Mononitrate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Beta-Carotene, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement), Minerals (Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Zinc Oxide, Manganese Proteinate, Copper Sulphate, Calcium Iodate, Ferrous Sulphate, Manganous Oxide, Sodium Selenite), Yucca Schidigera Extract, Yeast Extract, Dried Rosemary.
The three kibble selections above are readily available via Amazon, and are reasonably priced for their high quality.
AVOID Marshall "Premium" ferret diet! Compare the above to Marshall kibble, where only the first three items are meat, followed immediately by corn meal! And note that the first ingredient (and therefore the highest quantity) is chicken by-products, rather than actual meat. (Chicken meal is basically the same ingredient as chicken, but it's carefully dried to a lower moisture content. So Chicken Meal is fine as a first ingredient.) So it's worth noting below that Marshall kibble contains only ONE fully meat ingredient!
Chicken By-Products (organs only), Chicken, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Meal, Dried Beet Pulp, Brewers Dried Yeast, DL-Methionine, L-Lysine, Choline Chloride, Sodium Propionate (a preservative), Monocalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Vitamin E Supplement, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C), Zinc Proteinate, Zinc Oxide, Taurine, Copper Proteinate, Vitamin A Acetate, Copper Sulfate, Niacin Supplement, Biotin, Sodium Selenite, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Inositol, Manganese Proteinate, Riboflavin Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Mixed Tocopherols and BHA (preservatives), Manganous Oxide, Cobalt Proteinate, Cobalt Carbonate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Folic Acid, Rosemary Extract.
While Marshall does meet the minimum protein and fat content for a ferret's diet, the protein is very low quality. Corn can cause intestinal blockages, which are dangerous and can be fatal to ferrets. Also, the high carb-content of Marshall kibble can cause insulinoma (tumors in the pancreas)! Treating insulinoma in ferrets may require risky surgery, after which only about half of ferrets will do well for another 2-4 years.
Once we transitioned to a higher quality kibble, drastic results were quickly apparent. Onyx was missing a tuft of fur when we bought her, possibly pulled out during rough play. (It had clearly been pulled out, and hadn't fallen out.) A couple of weeks on Marshall kibble saw no improvement. Her whiskers were also short and broken due to a coccidia infection, but still weren't growing back after a round of antibiotics. However, once we switched the girls to higher quality kibble (and the other foods, treats, and supplements listed below), her hair quickly grew back in, and her whiskers grew in length. Both girls coats became glossy and soft, and their nails started growing very quickly. (We now have to trim their nails every 3-4 days!)
You can't anticipate every problem, and it's possible for ferrets that are fed even the healthiest diet to develop some health issues later in life. However, it's important to give them the best possible chance at a long and healthy life, and this includes feeding them a high-quality diet of meat-based protein, and avoiding plant matter as much as possible.
Again, DO NOT FEED MARSHALL KIBBLE TO YOUR FERRETS!
Wet or Canned Food
We don't want our girls to subsist on kibble alone, so every day they each get a spoonful or so of one of the below, or a mix of them. We put this food in a ramekin and then stir in some water, so the girls lap up the food. Pretty much everything in this section is available for much lower prices at Walmart than on Amazon, so I am linking to the Walmart product pages.
Note: AVOID FOODS that have the word "Gravy" in the title. Gravy often means wheat or another grain was added as a thickening agent. Do not feed any Gravy varieties to your ferrets!
Canned Sardines: Pretty much any brand will do, but be sure to buy sardines in spring water, no salt added. (Sardines come in a variety of liquids, including olive oil, soybean oil, mustard, hot sauce, and more. None of those are appropriate for your furkids!) Walmart carries Brunswick, Beach Cliff, and Ocean Prince brand sardines that meet this criteria. One of the great things about canned sardines is that they contain bones as well, which is great for your ferrets. The different texture is mentally stimulating, and bones are very healthy. There's also the added benefit that these bones are softer than what you'd find in whole prey, meaning they're less likely to cause blockages or punctures.
Baby Food: We prefer BeechNut variety baby food, because they offer a few meat-only varieties. (The only meat baby food I can find from Gerber all contains gravy, which as I mentioned, is not good for ferrets.) BeechNut is about 87 cents per can if you buy in packs of 10, or 98 cents per can if you buy them individually.
Appropriate flavors of BeechNut Baby Food include Chicken & Chicken Broth, Beef & Beef Broth, and Turkey & Turkey Broth (which I can't seem to find available in cases on Walmart's site).
Note that BeechNut also sells a ham variety, but it's Ham & Gravy, so avoid that flavor.
Fancy Feast: This is the highest quality cat food I found available at my local Walmart, with no grain ingredients (as long as you avoid the flavors with "Gravy"). Acceptable flavors include the Seafood Classic Pate Collection (Cod, Sole, & Shrimp Feast; Savory Salmon Feast; Ocean Whitefish & Tuna Feast), and the Poultry & Beef Classic Pate Collection (Tender Beef Feast, Chicken Feast, Turkey & Giblets Feast).
Do NOT get anything from the "Grilled" or "Sliced" collections as they will all contain wheat gluten in their "Gravy". To reiterate, never buy anything with the word "Gravy" in the flavor!
Store-Bought Treats
Treat #1: Stella & Chewy's Duck Duck Goose Freeze-Dried Cat Food
There are so many freeze-dried meat treats available that there's little reason to give your ferrets treats that include plant protein at all. We do, however, give this one type of cat food as a treat, because it's very expensive. It's not exactly a kibble, but it does come little pillow-poof shaped nuggets. At a cost of $24 for 3/4 of a pound (!!!) it's not something we want to have to buy regularly. So it's included here as a "treat" instead of in the "food" section. Rather than mixing this food with warm water (as suggested on the bag), we simply give one nugget as a treat.
Ingredients: Duck (Ground With Bone), Turkey, Turkey Liver, Goose, Turkey Gizzard, Pumpkin Seed, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Phosphate Monobasic, Choline Chloride, Dried Pediococcus Acidilactici Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Bifidobacterium Longum Fermentation Product, Taurine, Tocopherols (Preservative), Zinc Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Iron Sulfate, Iron Proteinate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Copper Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Riboflavin, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Manganese Proteinate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid, Calcium Iodate, Vitamin B12 Supplement
Treats #2 & #3: Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Chicken Giblets and Freeze-Dried Minnows
These treats are exactly what the labels say. The giblets include Chicken Liver and Chicken Heart, and the minnows are just Minnows. That's it.
Note that this brand also makes Rabbit Bites (Rabbit, Rabbit Heart, Rabbit Kidney, Rabbit Liver), Duck Liver (one ingredient), and several other one-ingredient freeze dried products. These are all excellent choices as ferret treats, assuming your ferret likes the flavor.
Treats #4 & #5: Pure Bites Freeze-Dried Chicken Breast and Shrimp
Again, these treats have one ingredient in the bag: chicken breast, or shrimp. Exactly what it says on the label. PureBites also offers White Fish and Turkey. These are also great choices for ferret treats!
Unsurprisingly, Marshall also sells ferret treats that are TERRIBLE for your furkids. Their "Bandits" label treats are full of sugar, grains, and fillers. Read the ingredients on anything you intend to feed your ferrets, and always avoid grain ingredients. With so many freeze-dried fully meat products available, there's no reason to give your ferrets junk food as a treat!
Homemade Treats
Homemade treats are easily made from foods you probably already have around the house. The only downside is that they will spoil quickly.
Raw Egg Yolk: Separate an egg yolk and put it on a plate or in a small bowl, and let your furkids lap it up. Avoid feeding your ferrets raw egg whites, though. Ferrets need Biotin, which is found in high quantities in the yolk. However, there's a protein in raw egg whites that causes ferrets to absorb less Biotin. This protein is destroyed in the cooking process, though.
Cooked Eggs: Hard boil or scramble some eggs, and see if your fuzzbutts like the flavor!
Boiled Chicken: Boil a whole chicken in water, and then tear all of the meat and organs to shreds. Feed in small doses. This is what I use when Clicker-Training Opal, and that's the only time she gets it, so it's a special treat for her. Note: you can give raw, un-heated bones from chicken to ferrets, as long as they're not super small. However, NEVER give cooked chicken bones to any animal! Cooked chicken bones will splinter and can cause severe internal damage!
Ferretone is a skin and coat supplement that provides fats and nutrients, and improves the flavor of EVERYTHING (according to ferrets, anyway). We give about one mL of this to the girls each day, and also mix it with medicine or anything else we need them to consume that they otherwise don't want to. They love the flavor! Tomlyn Hairball Remedy is a dark brown substance with the consistency of honey that ferrets also really enjoy. There are other brands of hairball remedy that my girls like just as much, but Tomlyn has a few advantages. First, it's just barely thin enough that it can be sucked into a syringe for easy feeding. (The other brand I've tried is just too thick to get into a syringe.) Second, the tube has a flat cap that lets me store the tube upright. (Other tubes are more like toothpaste tubes, and so have to be stored on their side). At first we gave the girls about one mL per day, but now we give about a half mL 3 times per week.

How we built our sales team knowing nothing about sales
When we started Contactually in late 2011, neither I nor my two co-founders knew anything about sales. Zvi and Jeff were developers, and I was the "business guy". For the first 9 months of Contactually's existence, we didn't charge our customers. We were in beta, so we thought it should be free. (Btw, that was a […]

Three things what I'm f*cking tired of, and one thing what I can't wait for
- Thing I'm F*cking Tired Of the First: I'm a Superman fan. Big time. So the imminent release of Superman Returns has me all giddy and awash with nerdy fanboy giggles. Every time I see an ad on TV, I rewind and rewatch it six or seven times. Every time I see a trailer at the theatre, I punch the person next to me in my comic-boner rapture. That shot of the bullet hitting Supes' eye and flattening? Gives me chills every time. In short, I'm excited. But every one of these ridiculous articles speculating about whether or not Krypton's Last Son is gay? Is like a big ol' kick to the nuts. I'm genuinely glad that gay recognition/acceptance/rights in the US are, while still not ideal, improving more and more each year. However, the appropriation and revision of the world's greatest superhero (shut up, JT) into a gay icon really gets my ire up. I would have no problem with it if there were any indication in the entire history of Superman that he might be gay; however, Omar's "Gayest Look of the Episode" aside, there is absolutely none. Please, please, please...be aware this isn't an attack on the homosexual community in any way; it's an attack on historical revisionism, which I cannot stand in any form. (And yes, that's me, and it's what I wore to work today. It's how I roll people. How. I. Roll.)
- Thing I'm F*cking Tired Of the Second: I'm a secret fan of celebrity gossip. It's fun for me, evil as this sounds, to see the haughty and self-important brought low. Yes, I know I'm only fueling their egotistical fire by reading all these silly little "news" items that pop up on the webternet. But's it's fun to giggle at their follies. That said, I cannot stand all the alliterative phrases used in celebrity news/gossip. Any time the Olsen twins are referenced, it's "Mini Moguls" or "Teen/Twin Titans" or "Homeless Aping Coke Fiends" (that last, non-alliterative one might be mine). But the worst, the one that makes me wanna drown puppies in the chocolate milk rivers of paradise, is "baby bump". Any time a female celebrity's stomach swells beyond washboard or skeletal, she MUST be pregnant, because of the g*dd*mn "baby bump". Just say she looks pregnant, for God's sake. Or, say what you're REALLY thinking, and call her fat. 'Cause Lord knows, we need more of THIS unholy mess.
- Thing I'm F*cking Tired Of the Third: Meaningless work banter makes me violent inside. The other morning, I decided I wanted a Pop Tart (mmmmm....Pop Tarts) with my coffee. So I went to the vending machine, bought my twin pack strawberry Pop Tarts for a dollar, put them in the toaster, and waited for the pseudo fruity goodness. While I hovered over the toaster, a coworker came in to prepare her morning repast. She looked over at me as I was pulling the Tarts from the toaster, saw my little gems of morning fruit delight, and said, "Having some Pop Tarts?" In my morning mind haze, all I could respond with was a grunted "Mm." She cheerily wished me vast enjoyment of the Tarts, and I proceeded on my way. On my way out the door, however, I was stopped by another coworker, who glanced at the beautiful little fructose confections, and said (no lie), "Pop Tart time, eh?" Only later, when two cups of coffee had cleared the cobwebs from my brain, did I realize the missed opportunity. "Big gulps, huh? Cool! Well, see you later!"
- Thing What I Can't Wait For: I'm not gonna overdescribe this one, except to point out that IT EFFING TALKS, PEOPLE! I've not done anything especially good in my life lately, but I feel, somehow, that Jesus is rewarding me. Me and all the other fanboys out there. So with out further ado, I present to you...Star Wars Transformers.
That sound you just heard? Was millions of nerds screaming, like little girls mind you, for joy.

|Scientific Classification
Katydids are classified as any of the species of grasshopper-shaped insects that belong to the taxonomic Family Tettigoniidae. They live nearly everywhere in the world and include 6,800 species with approximately 250 in North America[1]. They can be difficult to find due to their excellent camouflage, but their song can clearly be heard in the summer months. They have very large antennae, and come in several different colors. But if you are lucky enough to find one, it can be easily identified by their leaf-shaped wings. They also have powerful back legs for jumping, and strong jaws.[2]
The name of the Katydid has a story surrounding it. As the old story goes, a woman named Katy fell in love with a handsome man who refused her and married someone else instead. After their honeymoon, the couple were found dead in the same bed. The bugs began arguing about whether Katy did it or not. So if you listen carefully you can hear them debating, "Katy Did, Katy Didn't."[3]
The katydid is an insect, and like all insects, they have 3 body segments, (the head, thorax, and abdomen), 6 legs, and 1 pair of antennae. Katydid's are shaped like grasshoppers and crickets, but have longer antennae. They are also covered in a exoskeleton, which provides support and protection for all insects. Most katydids are generally green, but brown, white, and even pink varieties have been found. Most katydids range from 1-1/4" to 5" long. Adult katydids have 2 pairs of wings that are shaped and colored like leaves. It also has long legs that enable it to jump long distances.[4]
Katydids can fly for short distances, but they prefer to walk and climb. They also use their powerful hind legs to jump long distances, just like a grasshopper or cricket. They use their smaller, clawed forelegs to climb up trees and crawl around on the ground.[5]
Respiratory and Circulatory Systems
The insect respiratory system is made up of a series of tubes that originate from spiracles, which are openings of the exoskeleton that allows gases to be exchanged, and extend throughout the body. Internally, the tubes, or tracheae, look like thin white lines running through the animal's body. Trachea deliver oxygen to internal organs and tissues.
The katydid circulatory system is open, meaning they don't have a complex network of veins and arteries to help transport blood throughout the body like humans and animals. Instead, the insects blood, called hemolymph, flows almost freely throughout the body. Only one vessel is present in the katydids circulatory system: the dorsal vessel. Posteriorly, the dorsal vessel acts as the heart, pumping blood forward into the anterior region, where it acts as the aorta and dumps the blood into the head. It flows posteriorly and is returned to the heart through ostia, which are small slits in the heart region of the dorsal vessel designed for the intake of blood.
Nervous System and Senses
The katydids ventral nerve cord resembles a railroad track running from the head to the far posterior end of the katydid. This ventral nerve cord is actually made up of two nerve cords that run parallel to each other with a series of connective ganglia. The anterior most region of the ventral nerve cord is called the subesophageal ganglion. Just in front of that structure is the katydid's brain.
Katydids can see fairly well, but have poor night vision. The katydids use their excellent sense of smell to find food. Their long antennae scan the air for whiffs of rotten fruits and other food sources. Their antennae can also detect danger. For example, a bug might feel the beat of a wing of a bat that is looking for an unsuspecting katydid that it can eat. Katydids also have good hearing. However, they do not have actual ears, they have a special organ called the tympana that is located on their knees. The tympana can pick up sounds that humans can't hear. The katydids sense of taste is good, as is it's sense of touch.[6]
For most katydids, the mating process begins with the male singing his mating song. The male "sings" by scraping his wings together. In most species, the female will respond with by quietly moving to the male, but in some, the female will respond with a song of her own.
During copulation, the male deposits sperm onto the females genital opening. Within 15-20 minutes, the sperm enters the females body. The female then lays the fertilized eggs. She will generally attach the tan colored eggs to the underside of leaves. It normally takes 2-3 months for the eggs to hatch.
Metamorphosis is incomplete in katydids, so the nymphs look similar to adults, except they lack wings and are very small. It generally takes 3-4 months to reach maturity,but since the average lifespan is about 1 year, their only social behavior includes courtship and mating.[7]
Katydids can be found nearly anywhere in the world. Depending on the species, katydids live in tropical, temperate, and arid climates. In the United States they are generally found in temperate or arid areas. They may even be found in some urban areas.[8]
Katydids are generally herbivores, feeding on leaves, flowers, bark, seeds, and fruit. But there are some species that are omnivorous that will eat plants, and supplement their diet with snails, frog eggs, caterpillars, and even other katydids. Some have even been known to go after small vertebrates like snakes and mice.[9]
The katydid has several predators. These include bats, birds, some amphibians, mantids and even other katydids, to name a few.[10]
Interaction with humans
The katydid is generally a shy creature, and if you find one in the wild, do not startle it. At the first sign of danger, it will hop away, and if you aggravate it enough, it can bite you. In some cultures they are kept as pets, and their song is appreciated by people all over the world.
God gave the katydid several ways to protect itself. Sometimes a predator will get too close for the katydid to feel safe. When threatened, a katydid can fight back, but it prefers to use it's long, powerful hind legs to jump far away and escape danger. But if this does not work, it has another defense that it can rely on. If it sees no way to escape by flying or jumping, it will use it's powerful jaws to inflict painful bites on the whatever creature chose to disturb it. It's bites can be so powerful, that it will pierce the skin of humans that startle it. Some katydids, like the Spiny Devil Katydid, have sharp spikes covering it's entire body.[11]

Cincinnati, OH-based PUBLIC is a pop/rock trio (RIYL: Neon Trees, Maroon 5, Walk The Moon) of young men that have a track record of breaking down barriers and show no signs of slowing down any time soon.
The band was discovered in February 2011 – literally at a battle of the bands – by Brian Penick of The Counter Rhythm Group, an artist development company that has worked with national artists like Walk The Moon. "I knew from the first thirty seconds of their opening song that something was there, and by the end of the first song ("Red") I knew that it could be big," recalls Penick. The sold out crowd of 500+ seemed to agree, as the band won the competition.
PUBLIC immediately took to the studio to record Red, their debut EP, with engineer Eric Tuffendsam (The Wonder Years, Mixtapes). Regional acclaim combined with strong sales and radio airplay propelled the band to supporting national acts at practically every show, ranging from Twenty One Pilots to Civil Twilight, in addition to appearances at festivals like Bunbury and the Midpoint Music Festival. PUBLIC's fans consistently packed shows, screaming lyrics and lining up for photos/autographs until well past show curfews. With praise from local and regional press, PUBLIC now had an entire community of support.
The next year led to even larger strides for the band, including appearances at festivals like CMJ, SXSW, CMW and more, in addition to supporting acts like Walk The Moon and Neon Trees. Shows began to grow as they moved into larger rooms and local press labeled PUBLIC as the next act to break into the national scene. With the stream-only release of the band's next four singles, the music industry soon caught on, opening up conversations with managers, booking agents and labels for their next release. PUBLIC's hard work and fan support had put them in the perfect position.
After national presence through touring, festivals, major licensing placements, several successful EPs, and an extremely dedicated core fan base (known as the "dot tribe" for fans placing the signature "•" around their social handles), PUBLIC show no signs of slowing down any time soon. With a history built on community support, the band hopes to give back all that they can to their fans. PUBLIC's journey will be nothing short of amazing, and they want to share the experience with you.

As most people know when a person loses a large amount of weight there are some excess skin issues. Not only is the excess skin from the weight loss but from where I have had 4 previous abdominal surgeries including 2 C-Sections, Ovarian Cyst removal and finally a hysterectomy due to cancer.
With excess skin some health complications may occur because the rubbing of skin on skin. Sounds gross I know but I want to be completely honest with you as I go through this experience. I personally have experienced these issues and my family Dr. has deemed it medically necessary to have the skin removal surgery.
The first time I walked into the office of Dr. Breazeale I was nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. For those of you that know me well know that I don't get nervous nor do I embarrass easily. The staff made me feel very comfortable and at ease and Dr. Breazeale was amazing. We cut up and laughed which broke the ice and made me feel even more comfortable. Dr. Breazeale was very thorough and explained every single thing to me in terms that I could understand. We discussed several procedures and decided on what was best meant for my body. I could not have asked for a better Dr. and staff than those at The Breazeale Clinic. I am so glad that I made the choice to go see Dr. Breazeale and proud to announce that on Friday, December 13, I will be having an Extended Abdominoplasty which includes muscle repair.
Stay tuned as I continue on this journey and posting my thoughts and feelings as the date comes closer and closer.

Interesting piece about the spontaneous outpouring of support for Fabrice Muamba and how it manifested itself as prayer
Prayer is natural for footballers
It seems the family are Christians and so regardless of the reasons and what people think of prayer and belief in general it seems to have been spot on. Listened to a very interesting In Our Time podcast on prayer a few weeks ago and they discussed how humans seem to be hard-wired to look to the Divine. I will link to it when I get a chance.
Regardless of all that the signs for Fabrice have been more positive than we could have ever hoped for when we were watching/listening to the events unfolding at Whitehart Lane. Hope he makes a full recovery and my prayers are with him and his family.

Not to be outdone in their own bracket, the U10 Majestics FTF Boys won the seven-team Mid Atlantic Division with a 9-1-1 record. The Majestics Boys scored 59 goals over their eleven game season to earn bragging rights in the U10 standings.
Led by head coach Justin O'Shell and assistant coach Nicole Schweitzer, the Northern Virginia U10 girls boasted a 8-0-0 record over a season that included four shut-out wins. The upstart NVSC offense averaged over six goals per game while backed by a stingy defense that allowed only seven goals for the year. A testament to the impressive defense and goalkeeping, the Northern Virginia U10s had only surrendered a single goal at the midpoint of the season, outscoring their opponents 26-1 at the halfway point of the summer.

Some of the clips NFL fans can expect to see include instant replay footage and in-game highlights.The partnership was forged through Twitter's Amplify program, which was launched in May and provides TV broadcasters and advertisers a way to incorporate Twitter's prominence as TV viewers' "second screen" into their programming.As AllThingsD reports, Brian Rolapp, the NFL's chief operating officer, believes Twitter is the clear choice for a partnership like this:"Twitter understands the value of incremental consumption and engagement…That means they're able to do things with people like us that perhaps other people in social media or technology in general are not. It's not by happenstance that we're doing this with them."Verizon Wireless will be the primary sponsor for the ads that will run alongside the NFL's in-stream video clips.This deal comes on the heels of Twitter's latest ad partnership with TV juggernaut CBS, which will see 42 of the network's TV shows and many of its web properties incorporate in-stream video clips and ads via Twitter.These TV-Twitter partnerships have been ramping up since Twitter's IPO announcement in mid-September. The social network is clearly looking for ways to increase its revenue and prove that it has long-term advertising potential. Plus, as AllThingsD points out, the Amplify program is geared not toward pulling viewers away from TV sets, but rather reinforcing TV programming via social channels.(Football image via Shutterstock) Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jGUweC copy Adweek Adweek

All the way back in 2010, Google announced that Google Wave was on its last leg, and then last November it said the web-based computing platform and communications protocol would become read-only, but today the service has been officially killed.
Well, users still have the rest of the day to export any important data. After tonight, however, all users must wave goodbye.
The Official Google Wave Blog provided more details on this termination at the Help Center. Further information is also available at Google Support.
