Every year, Connecticut has what they call an "Open House Day" where many attractions which would normally cost money are free. We were informed via the Hartford Courant that the Pez Factory would have free admission on that day- which was Saturday, June 13th- but Pez themselves told me this was false and eventually, probably by my doing, the Hartford Courant had to edit their story. Thanks, Hartford Courant for making me do your job for you. Through my wife's suggestion we instead went down to Norwalk, which is roughly an hour or so drive from us, to a place called Stepping Stones: Museum for Children. Now, they use the term "museum" loosely because this is mostly a play place where you sort of learn.
Upon arriving, we noticed a nice park that was across the way as well as a park out near the road which was having a Pride celebration that we were just too tired afterwards to attend. It looked like a lot of fun though. So when we got inside Stepping Stones someone informed us it would be free but on a normal day we'd have paid $45. That's $15 per person. Yes, even $15 for a three year old. Ridiculous. Kids under four don't pay full price for anything. They took our zip code, spouted some rhetoric and we were on our way. There were a lot of cool things to see and do for kids, but one thing is that this place isn't all that big and so I feel like repeated visits to it might become tiresome.
They were announcing over the speakers that you could get yearly memberships for what would be the price of us (The three of us) going three times a year, but that means we'd have to go three times a year to make it worthwhile and I just don't think we would do it. Partially, it's because of the place itself, but mostly it's because of the distance and the fact that there are only so many good months to drive in Connecticut when you're not at risk for being hit by a noreaster. If it was closer to us it'd be worth considering, but right now we just decided that even going back again and paying the $45 wasn't really worth it because of the distance.
If you do only go once though or happen to live closer, your kids should have fun playing, creating and just all around destroying the place because that seems to sort of be their motto. They have a section full of tools and other arts and crafts supplies, a section with little plastic balls and a decent amount of water (You will get wet / I hid in an adjoining room) This all goes between what is called "Express Yourself" (the creating things area), "Build It!" (which is more about learning where they have hammers and such to bang things... It's kind of their construction area, though you can play with tools in "Express Yourself" as well, and magnets and such) and "Energy Lab" is the water part where I hid in "Tot Town".
Through this all- and it did make for a fun day of something we've never really done before- there is a room in the back, off to the side, simply called the "Multimedia Gallery". What happens in there? Images are shown on the wall and floor, such as soccer balls moving that the kids try to kick. Lights are flashing and music is playing. It's fairly close to a child version of what I imagine a rave would look like and, um, there was this one employee in there who I didn't see move the entire time we spent there. I'm pretty sure she was on shrooms, which, hey, if you're going to work there why not trip in the Multimedia Gallery on your lunch break.

We did not agree to move to CR on a per-feature basis. We did agree to allow prefix-dropping on a per-feature basis. Dropping prefixes != moving to CR. Dropping prefixes requires: 1. The feature is in CR. 2. The implementation is correct *per CR spec* 3. The implementation proves its correctness via tests. It's possible for #1 to be true for features that don't satisfy all three.

Awards celebrate standouts in Kellogg's 'vibrant community'
Matt Golosinski
The Kellogg
Graduate School of Management honored several alumni and friends
of the school during an April 2 dinner at the James L. Allen
Center. As in previous years, the Alumni Awards bestowed special
recognition upon a select few individuals for their extraordinary
service to the Kellogg school. This year, in addition to granting
The Schaffner Award and The Kellogg Alumni Service Award to
its graduates, Kellogg also presented a new honor called the
Friends of Kellogg Graduate School of Management to acknowledge
the efforts of non-graduates.
passion for Kellogg compels me to seek ways to contribute
to the school and make it an even better institution for the
past, current and future students who will one day walk its
halls, experience its joys, and feel its rhythms," said
Marc Landsberg '89, who was one of three Alumni Service Award
winners. Landsberg, the executive vice president of Internet
strategy at Leo Burnett, added that his relationship with
the Kellogg school has flourished and deepened over the years.
In addition
to Landsberg, Doug Bell '89 and Gayle Lomax '94 received Alumni
Service Awards. Bell, president of a New York-based advertising
firm that bears his name, expressed his feelings about his
connection with Kellogg.
me, Kellogg is not about memories or even about what's happening
on campus today. It's about a vibrant community that's immediately
relevant to my personal and professional life," he said.
Bell added that his participation in the Kellogg Alumni Club
of New York has been a wonderful experience. "I've made
hundreds of friends, some of whom have become clients,"
he said. "I consider it a privilege to have worked with
Kellogg alumni, and I'm honored to be among those recognized
for our efforts."
vice president for T. Rowe Price Investment Services' individual
marketing group, acknowledged the benefits she has enjoyed
by maintaining her relationship with the Kellogg school. "I
am extremely honored to be a recipient of the Alumni Service
Award," she said.
education I received at Kellogg has served me well in my career,
and the friendships and networks established during those
years remain strong to this day. Kellogg gave me new direction�and
the tools to take theoretical concepts and apply them to real-world
problems. The school remains a key resource in my professional
of this year's Schaffner Award were Dr. Jeffery Vender '98,
Neill H. Brownstein '68, Dianne Dardes Loeb '80, Wiwan T.
Tharahirunchote '85 and Joel Weiner '58. Vender is chairman
of the Department of Anesthesiology and director of critical
care at Evanston Northwestern Healthcare. He also serves on
the executive committee of the Kellogg Alumni Advisory Board.
Brownstein is a founding member of the boards of directors
of Bisnet and Club One, among others, and has more than 30
years in the venture capital industry. He serves on the Kellogg
Alumni Advisory Board. Loeb is a co-founder of the Kellogg
Alumni Club of Seattle and was Kellogg's director of admissions
from 1982-1984. She is a strategic planning consultant who
works with her husband, Steve '81, in the family's business,
Alaska Distributors Co. Tharahirunchote is president of One
Asset Management Ltd., the second-largest fund management
company in Thailand. She has been the representative for the
Thailand alumni club since 1989 and was recently named to
the "New Breed of Talent" list by the Thailand newspaper
The Nation. Weiner was formerly executive vice president for
Seagram Distillers and executive vice president for corporate
marketing at Kraft Foods.
John D. Gray Distinguished Professor of Marketing Louis Stern
singled Weiner out, praising his "unbelievably deep knowledge
of marketing" and extraordinary capacity to assess and
guide others in their careers. "Joel is self-effacing,
but he's really a mentor par excellence," Stern said.
"It's beyond my imagination to even estimate the number
of future CEOs he hired and coached during his tenure at Kraft."
shared his feelings about winning the Schaffner. "Kellogg
helped me gain access to interviews with the top consumer
packaged goods companies. I believe we all owe something to
the unselfishness of people who helped us when we needed it."
The five
recipients of the Friends of Kellogg Graduate School of Management
were: Mrs. Keith I. DeLashmutt; Margaret and Kathryn Gerber;
Jim Oates; and Dale Park Jr. DeLashmutt established a chair
in the Accounting and Information Systems Department in 1989
and has remained a generous supporter of Kellogg. In 1991,
the Gerber sisters endowed the J. Jay Gerber Chair at Kellogg
in honor of their brother. They have also provided funding
for a gift annuity to benefit Kellogg. Oates, who retired
as president of Leo Burnett Worldwide in 1999, has been a
member of the Kellogg Advisory Board for 10 years. He has
helped numerous Kellogg student groups organize international
trips. Park has been an active friend to Northwestern University
for more than threedecades and a university trustee since
1979. He has remained a member of Kellogg's Advisory Board
since 1979.

BRITS, September 29 – A North West farmer accused of killing a Majakaneng man was denied bail by the Brits Magistrate's Court on Friday.
Magistrate Jethro Mosime said Matthew Benson, 24, failed to convinced the court that it was in the interest of justice to be released on bail.
"The applicant stays with his girlfriend, he has no property of his own. There is a likelihood that he can interfere with investigations or witnesses," the magistrate found. "The applicant failed to prove that it is in the interest of justice to release him on bail. Bail is denied."
Benson is accused of killing Tebogo Ndlovu, as well as the attempted murder of two of his friends.
Ndlovu and his friends allegedly went to the farm in Mooinooi on August 2 to steal scrap metals. Benson spotted them, chased after them and allegedly fired shots at them, hitting Ndlovu.
His friends tried to help him to run away but left him behind because he was too heavy for them to run up to a mountain. According to them, they saw Benson and five other men at the scene where they had left Ndlovu. He has not been seen since that day.
"The body is missing since August 2, to date. Six people, including the applicant were seen at the scene [of crime]. There is a strong possibility that the applicant disposed the body, the police are still searching for the missing person," the magistrate said.
"The applicant supplied false information that he did not fire any shots. Bullet cartridges found at the scene matched the 9mm pistol," the magistrate ruled.
The magistrate asked why Benson concealed the identity of his witness who claimed to have seen Ndlovu.
"Why did the applicant conceal the identity of the person who had information that the missing person was alive and well. He did not tell Lieutenant Colonel [Isaac] Tlhapi… the investigator could have obtained the witness statement from him…The missing person was shot and wounded. I wonder how could he be well."
The case was postponed to November 7.

With warmer temperatures fast approaching it's wise to stay alert to the possibility of termites on your property in the Carolinas. It gets hot here, really hot. Unlike with humans, the hotter it gets out the harder termites work. Recent studies have shown that the speed at which termites will tunnel and transport food increases the hotter it gets. The effects of temperature on tunneling and food-transportation activity of four subterranean termite species — Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann), Reticulitermes virginicus (Banks), and Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) — were examined by researchers who observed the termites at 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35° Celsius.
"Understanding how termites transport food and what factors influence this process may aid the improvement of subterranean termite control strategies," said the authors of a recent article published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America. "The results of this study provide further evidence that the cold winter season may not be ideal for baiting programs."
A thorough inspection by Bug-N-A-Rug Exterminators is the best and most important step in protecting your property from termites. The experience of our professional exterminators can locate the specific areas in your home or business where a termite attack is or is likely to occur. If a termite infestation is found, Bug-N-A-Rug exterminators can design a treatment plan for your property. This treatment plan will eradicate any current infestation and establish a treatment zone, or monitoring system, around your home to be proactive against any future termite infestations.
Signs that you may have termites include pencil-size diameter or larger of mud tubes running across bare concrete or masonry between the soil and any wooden part of a building. Thin, paper wings, all the same size and shape, about 3/8 to ½ inch long, found on a window sill, counter top or floor in late Spring. Thin, bubbled or distorted areas of paint or wood surfaces that feel cool to the touch. Parts of building structures that begin to sag unexpectedly.
If you'd like someone to come by and perform a thorough termite inspection at your home or business, just call us at 910-254-9443 in Wilmington or 910-754-9700 in other Brunswick County areas. We're here for you when you need us.

Getting a term sheet, or several of them, is a moment of celebration for most startups. Also, due to lack of legal expertise, Founders have to depend on the guidance of lawyers or CAs to understand the term sheet, especially if they are raising external funding for the very first time. Here is a list of 10 clauses that are commonly seen in these documents:
- Drag Along Rights – Drag along rights are term sheet provisions which allow investors to drag along all other stockholders, including the founders of a company, to consent to a sale of the company. In simple words, once a majority of investors and shareholders agree to the sale of the business, all other shareholders must also sell their shares on same terms and conditions, regardless of whether they agree to the deal or not. Therefore, minority shareholders may negotiate a minimum price, minimum profit or a preferential price into a shareholders' agreement.
- Liquidation Preference – Investors always insist on investing through a preferred stock as it is better than common stock, because holders of preferred stock be given priority treatment in the event of liquidation. The liquidation preference defines the return that an investor receives during a sale, merger or acquisition of the company, and it can have a significant impact on the founder's return. It simply specifies which investor gets paid first and how much they get paid in the event of liquidation. There are two types of liquidation preference: a. Non Participating b. Participating.
- Participating Liquidation Preference – Under this preference, the preference holder will be entitled to receive his predetermined returns, but shall not be entitled to receive any portion of surplus proceeds to be distributed to equity shareholders.
- Non Participating Liquidation Preference: Under Participating Liquidation Preference, the investor after receiving his predetermined returns, shall also be entitled to participate along with equity shareholders in surplus proceeds.
- Tag Along Rights – It is also known as co-sale, it protects the minority shareholders. It gives a minority shareholder the right to have his shares bought on the same terms as majority shareholders. If a shareholder wishes to dispose of shares that are the subject of a co-sale or tag along right, the other shareholders who benefit from the right can insist that the potential purchaser agrees to purchase an equivalent percentage of their shares, at the same price and under the same terms and conditions.
- Anti Dilution – It protects investors in the event a company issues equity at a lower valuation then in previous rounds. Shares, options and convertible securities are adjusted so that the holder of these securities receives additional securities. It gives the right to the shareholder to receive such additional shares, without any cost at the same price on which the shares were issued to the other person so as to reduce the price per share held by him;
- Right of First Refusal/Offer – If the shareholder wants to sell any of the shares to an outsider or to a third party, the right of first refusal requires them to give the investors the first offer to purchase the shares on the terms offered by the third party. In case there is more than one investor, if the investor exercises their right of refusal, each investor may participate in the purchase pro rata based on the number of shares held by each investor. If the investors forego their right of first refusal, then the shareholder may sell his shares to a third party.
- Pre Emptive Rights – It requires the company to first offer to any newly issued shares to existing shareholders on pro rata basis. This gives the investor the right to participate in subsequent financing rounds to the extent that is required to protect their percentage equity stake. This ensures that the voting and other rights of existing shareholders exist in proportion prior to the new issue in the future. It simply allows investors to ensure that they have the ability to hold on to their shareholding on a pro rata basis and without being diluted.
- Shotgun Clause – It is also known as buy sell agreement. It acts as an escape mechanism for shareholders, if there is an unsettled dispute. It stipulates that the other shareholder may either sell his shares at that price, or buy the shares at that same price from the offering shareholders. It serves as a method for resolving disputes and also ensures that a fair price is being offered.
- Put/Call Option – A put option entitles a shareholder to require the other shareholders or just the majority of shareholders to purchase the shares of minority shareholders (holder of the right). The exercise of the put option can be made subject to a particular event or pre specified time period. A shareholder can obligate one or more other shareholders, or the company to purchase the shareholders interest. In Call option the shareholder is obligated to sell his interest to one or more other shareholders or the company. These clauses in most cases specify the conditions under which the right can be triggered like death, insolvency, bankruptcy etc. Usually, the price of share is predetermined.
- Veto Rights – It simply means the right to forbid or withhold assent to or reject. The giving of veto powers to shareholders increase the chance of deadlocks and creates a need for speedy means of resolving differences, or for a satisfactory method of dissolving the enterprise when corporate paralysis ensues. Shareholders can be given veto rights in relation to certain matters including, but not limited to, appointment of employees, financial and strategic decisions of the company.
- Equity Vesting – In this clause, the shareholder does not obtain the benefit of the shares until certain conditions have been satisfied, such as to remain in the company for a minimum period of time or achieving revenue targets or number of users. The company may have an automatic right to repurchase the unvested shares at the time of the founders involvement with the company ceases. The vesting period is typically between 3-5 years, the purpose is to ensure that the founders have legitimately earned his shares.

Environmental Services, Inc. Careers
Founded in 1986 by Rhodes and Sarah Robinson, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) has steadily grown with a philosophy of providing quality, responsive service for clients and a corporate environment where people enjoy their work. Read more...
The opportunities I have received from ESI has exceeded my own professional goals. ESI promotes personal and professional growth in all of its employees and while we have grown over the years to be one of the largest environmental consultation firms in the southeastern United States, ESI has successfully kept a small firm feel with family-like connections with all of its divisions and branch offices. The dedication to providing superior service to all of our clients and to make ourselves better people creates an exciting and enjoyable work environment.
Brent M. Handley, MA, RPA, Vice President/Technical Director
ESI is a solutions-oriented organization. Whether it's collaboration across ESI service lines or with someone in another ESI office with the expertise that would benefit a client's project, or working with an employee to provide them the flexibility to balance personal needs with their job requirements, ESI's culture is about solutions. Environmental consulting is about ensuring our client's needs are met, and ESI understands that our client's priorities are our priorities. The strength of ESI is that clients and staff can count on the support received at a local level, knowing this support is leveraged by the advantages and resources provided by the company as a whole.
Kevin Markham, Sr. Vice President/ Technical Director
My career with ESI is very different than most. I started with ESI when I was 16 years old. I would come in after school, file and answer the phones. After high school, I decided to attend the University of North Florida. When I wasn't busy attending classes, I continued working for ESI and began gaining more responsibilities. Since I had worked for ESI for a few years and saw what great things our staff had done, I decided I was going to become a biologist. Well, I couldn't pass Biology 101…so I changed my major to marketing and was promoted to Marketing Coordinator. This company really cares about its people and wants all employees to be as successful as possible in both their career and personal life.

Wellcome Trust and Education Endowment Foundation offer funding for research on use of neuroscience in classroom
Neuroscience has the potential to improve education, but its use in the classroom must be based on robust evidence, the Wellcome Trust and the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) today argue.
The two organisations have launched Education and Neuroscience, a £6 million fund for collaborations between educators and neuroscientists to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of neuroscience-based educational interventions.
An online survey of teachers conducted by the Wellcome Trust found that many teachers were optimistic about the ability of neuroscience to improve teaching practice over the next decade, but wanted interventions to be evidence-based rather than simply yet another strategy imposed upon schools.
It also found a number of different approaches and interventions currently in use. For example, many teachers say they are currently influenced by the idea of learning styles, i.e. that different students learn best when materials are presented in different ways. In the past, this has led to learners being labelled as, for example, 'visual learners', and having content delivered primarily visually, an approach which may actually be harmful to learning[1].
Some teachers also use commercially-developed interventions which claim to be based on neuroscience despite no systematic testing of such products. The most common of these is Brain Gym; however, there is little peer-reviewed evidence to show that this particular intervention is effective[2].
"Neuroscience is an exciting field that holds a great deal of promise both for understanding how our brains work and, through application, for improving how we learn and perform," says Dr Hilary Leevers, Head of Education and Learning at the Wellcome Trust. "Neuroscientists and educators both recognise and wish to explore this potential. By bringing together our expertise and approaches, the Wellcome Trust and the Education Endowment Foundation hope to make this possible."
Sir Peter Lampl, Chair of the Education Endowment Foundation and the Sutton Trust, said: "Improving our understanding of how the brain works will deepen our understanding of how pupils learn. Knowing the impact of neuroscience in the classroom will also make it easier to spot the plausible sounding fads and fakes, which don't improve standards. This is essential if we are to increase the attainment of pupils, particularly those from low-income families."
The two organisations are making available £6 million for research projects in which neuroscientists and educators collaborate to develop evidence-based interventions for use in the classroom and to test in a robust and rigorous manner existing tools or practices.
Examples of projects might include systematically testing the impact of different school start times or lengths of lessons or investigating the impact of listening to music in lessons.

Your tart looks great. It needs a lot of time planning so it is nice to make it over 2 days.

that trip sounds horrible--I am sorry you had to go thru all that only to get sick at the end. blah. on the bright side, your tartlet looks really pretty, even sans segments.

I am surprised it only took one vodka... Sounds like another was warranted.
Your mini tart is lovely - the sprig of mint is the perfect spot of color

I actually really like this look without grapefruit. I'm going to have to try this as my grapefruit don't segment well and are kind of a pain to do. I like the idea of adding a sauce too.

Opening Day is less than a week away. Who'll be starting Thursday in Detroit became a lot clearer this week, when the Red Sox hammered out their infield and starting rotation. They optioned both Jose Iglesias (.200 BA, five RBIs in nine games) and Lars Anderson (.343 AVG, eight RBIs in 18 games) to Pawtucket Tuesday, then announced Sunday that Daniel Bard and Felix Doubront would complete their starting rotation.
Only the outfield remains unsettled, but Cody Ross will certainly be on the roster. Ross went 5-12 this week, homering four times, scoring five runs and driving in 10. He also won this week's Spring Training Player of the Week award!
Ross played a big part in Boston's 4-1-1 week. Who else helped out? Here's the update from the final full week of Spring Training (delayed a day due to my NCAA championship preview).
Red Sox 6, Phillies 0
It seems Jon Lester can still dominate after all. Lester submitted the best start of the Spring, striking out 10 Philadelphia hitters while giving up just two hits and hitting a batter in seven scoreless innings. He threw six 1-2-3 innings.
Boston's offense, meanwhile, banged out 11 hits Monday, including three home runs. Dustin Pedroia's first-inning home run made it 1-0, then Jarrod Saltalamacchia singled in the second and scored on a throwing error two batters later.
The Red Sox went up 5-0 in the fifth on David Ortiz's RBI single, followed by Ross' third preseason home run. Non-roster infielder Mauro Gomez homered in the top of the ninth to make it 6-0.
Matt Albers struck out one in a perfect eighth inning.
Red Sox 8, Rays 0
Josh Beckett and a trio of relievers pitched a shutout Tuesday, giving up just three hits and three walks to Tampa Bay. All three walks belonged to Beckett, but so did five of the team's nine strikeouts.
The same Ortiz-Ross tandem that proved so effective Monday worked the same magic the day after. Ortiz doubled following a Kevin Youkilis walk, putting men on second and third. Ross cleared the bases just two pitches later, homering to left to put the Red Sox up 3-0 in the second.
Following Pedroia's RBI triple in the sixth, the Red Sox tacked on four more in the seventh, starting with a bases-loaded walk and a wild pitch. Gomez then singled to center to drive in two more and make it 8-0.
Mark Melancon set the final four Rays hitters down in order, striking out two.
Blue Jays 3, Red Sox 2
Alfredo Aceves won't be starting during the season, but he did so Thursday, holding the 22-4 Blue Jays to just two runs – one unearned – on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings. Aceves performed admirably as the long-reliever last season, and hopefully this game shows he will again this season.
Ryan Sweeney's RBI double gave Boston a 1-0 lead in the second, but two Boston Errors helped Toronto retake the lead 2-1 in the top of the sixth. Boston tied the game 2-2 on Ortiz's home run in the bottom of the inning.
The Blue Jays went up 3-2 in the top of the eighth when non-roster center fielder Anthony Gose led off with a walk. Gose then stole second, third and home off Red Sox non-roster reliever Justin Thomas. Saltalamacchia (2-2) doubled with one down in the bottom of the ninth, but the next two Red Sox struck out to end the game and hand Thomas his first loss.
Red Sox 9, Twins 7
The Red Sox scored eight runs over the final four innings against the Twins, powering them to a slug-fest victory. Who did most of the damage? Ross, of course! Ross went deep twice Friday, putting the Red Sox up 2-1 in the second and 4-1 in the sixth. Ross finished 2-3, as did Sweeney.
Two Minnesota runs off starter Bard in the bottom of the sixth cut the lead to 4-3, but Boston added a run in the seventh and three in the eighth on a sacrifice fly and a two-run homer from Gomez.
A fielding error helped the Twins put up two in the bottom of the ninth, but Melancon induced an easy ground out back to the pitcher to complete the save. Bard, who went six innings and gave up three earned runs on four hits, three walks and seven strikeouts, picked up his second win.
Red Sox 7, Rays 7
The Red Sox didn't exactly play their A-team Saturday, but even the scrubs still managed a tie, belting out 11 hits and taking advantage of four Rays errors, especially when down 5-1 entering the fifth. Boston scored on a throwing error following Pedro Ciriaco's sacrifice bunt in that inning. Then with two men on, Gomez singled to right to cut Tampa Bay's lead to 5-4.
The Rays added a run in the bottom of the fifth, but the Red Sox tied it on an RBI double by Daniel Nava and another Rays fielding error. They took a 7-6 lead in the seventh on a single from Sean "Who is this guy?" Coyle.
Non-roster reliever Tony Pena Jr. couldn't preserve the lead, however, giving up a one-out homer to Luke Scott to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh. Two innings later, they called it a draw.
Red Sox 5, Twins 1
Red Sox fans, rejoice: the Mayor's Cup is back where it belongs. Bobby Valentine pieced together the win using only relievers, but it worked: five pitchers held the Twins to one earned run on five hits (one home run), two walks and eight strikeouts.
Boston entered the bottom of the sixth down 1-0, but Ross' double scored Ciriaco (two stolen bases in the sixth) to tie the game 1-1. Two batters later, Sweeney drove in Ross with a single.
A double from Mike Aviles put Boston up 3-1, then Jacoby Ellsbury's triple scored Aviles. Ellsbury nearly had an inside-the-park home run, but he was thrown out at home.
The win went to Garrett Mock, who gave up the sixth-inning home run but came back to pitch a scoreless seventh. Vicente Padilla started, giving up two hits with two strikes in 1.2 scoreless innings.

By Dr. Jill Kirk, Cat Depot Veterinarian
Cats are fastidious creatures and with all that grooming comes hair; it has to go somewhere! Normally the hair is passed along with food through the cat and comes out in the litter box, but sometimes it comes back out the other way. This is technically referred to as a trichobezoar, or a large mass of hair. Trichobezoars are formed in the stomach, but can sometimes be found in the esophagus. Unlike other species, cats do not have the same strong contractions (peristaltic movements) to move undigested contents, which may explain why they are more prone to throwing up hairballs.
Both cats with long and short hair are prone to forming hairballs. A hairball every now and then is not uncommon. Some reports show that 50-80% of cats vomit a hairball once a month. But continuous, repetitive vomiting of hair (or other material) may represent an underlying issue, and should be addressed by a veterinarian.
Hairballs are commonly treated with petroleum-based products to lube everything up, but stronger drugs may be recommended by your veterinarian. There are some new commercial diets that also claim to help in the reduction of hairball formation.

Random facts about flying:
- On any given day, more than 87,000 flights travel through US.
- "The safest place to sit on a plane is in the middle of the back. Not too close to the exit because the people there get sucked out. And also because the planes often break in half. The front is the least safe. Which makes sense -there's no way airlines could charge extra money for the safest seats" (Via, Via).
- It would be impossible for someone to open the exit doors while the plane is in flight because of the pressure.

The Geat Los Angeles Walk 2016 Press Release
LOS ANGELES (Nov. 10, 2016) -- Hundreds of Angelenos will hit the sidewalks on Saturday, November 19 for The Great Los Angeles Walk 2016 – the annual event that dispels the myth that "nobody walks in L.A."
This year, for the eleventh edition, the Great Los Angeles Walk (http://www.greatlawalk.com) is returning to once again eat its way down one of the city's iconic boulevards: Pico!
The Great LA Walk last hiked down Pico in 2007 (the Walk's second year). Pico is a favorite for many reasons, including the fact that Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles Times food critic Jonathan Gold once famously ate his way down the street. (Now, Great LA Walkers will have the opportunity to do the same thing – or at least, some of it.)
Participants will meet at downtown Los Angeles' Grand Hope Park (next to FIDM, at the corner of 9th Street and Hope Street) at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19.
From there, Walkers will pass through downtown, the Convention Center (home to the Auto Show); the Central American-dominated Byzantine-Latino Quarter; the city's shortest street (Powers Place); the beautiful old homes of Alvarado Terrace; a slice of Koreatown; gut-busting food spots like Oki-Dog and Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles; Mid-City; Jewish shops and restaurants west of Fairfax; the Fox lot; the Rancho Park golf course; and Santa Monica.
The Great Los Angeles Walk will conclude with an after party in Santa Monica at a location to be announced later. Walkers will be encouraged to utilize Metro's Expo Line, which offers public transportation at the start and finish of the walk.
L.A. journalist and blogger Michael Schneider launched the Great Los Angeles Walk in 2006 as a way to celebrate his tenth year in Los Angeles. Inspired by the book "Wilshire Boulevard: Grand Concourse of Los Angeles," by Kevin Roderick (with research by J. Eric Lynxwiler), he decided to walk the street's entire length.
In 2007, for an encore, he chose another downtown-to-the-ocean route: Pico Boulevard. The 2008 Walk took on Santa Monica Blvd. In 2009, the event kicked off in the historic West Adams district and walked to Venice Beach via Adams and Washington. In 2010, for its fifth edition, the Great Los Angeles Walk reprised its original Wilshire journey. In 2011, participants marched to the ocean via Hollywood Boulevard. In 2012, the Walk traveled across Melrose Avenue; in 2013, Sunset Boulevard; in 2014, the Walk traveled across the San Fernando Valley via Ventura Boulevard; and in 2015, the Walk took on Olympic Boulevard.
The Great Los Angeles Walk grew from dozens of participants to hundreds, and continues to expand each year as more Angelenos join in to explore their city on foot. The Los Angeles Times is a media marketing partner.
As always, the Walk is completely free. It is up to the participants to decide how much or how little of the walk they want to do. The Great Los Angeles Walk has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, the L.A. Weekly, KABC-Channel 7, LAist.com and KNBC.com. In 2012, the LA Weekly recognized The Great Los Angeles Walk in its "Best of L.A." issue.
The official hashtag of The Great Los Angeles Walk is #glaw. Social media users can follow along all day on the walk's official Twitter feed, @greatlawalk, as we continually post our location.

Crazy Eights Summer Camp
Welcome to the 13th summer of Crazy Eights Hockey Camp LLC!! I am so excited to be coming back to Wisconsin for another summer of camps. This past year has brought some major changes for my family. As many of you know we moved to Pittsburgh, PA in the summer of 2013 for my first D1 job at Robert Morris University. Summer of 2014 brought an opportunity to move back to the Midwest to coach in the WCHA at St. Cloud State University. I gladly accepted and have finally settled down, bought a house, and I am excited to grow and develop the program here with an extraordinary staff. Throughout all of my moves, one major priority for me has been to continue to grow and develop Crazy Eights camp. My dad, sister, Jessie Vetter and I started this camp 11 years ago and I am bound and determined to grow and develop this camp further!
The goal of Crazy Eights is to develop young athletes (7-14 years old) and give them the tools and drive, to develop into college athletes. My personal goal is for these young women to gain positive role models who have succeeded by working hard and battled through tough times. My all female staff has reached their dream of playing college hockey and each of their stories teaches these young athletes that it was not something just handed to them.
Crazy Eights is moving forward by focusing on skill development and power skating. This summer power skating and edge control will be a main focus of every morning session. There will be a specific power skating coach to run each morning session. Skill development will be the second focus in particular, stick handling, puck protection, shooting in any situation, and developing a competitive drive! The end of every day will bring small area games to incorporate these skills into game situations. A specific strength and conditioning coach will run off ice sessions. This is to help the athletes learn that off ice training is just as important if not more important than on ice.
If you have not taken advantage of Crazy Eights Hockey camps please check it out. For those of you that have sent your daughters in the past please consider us again this summer. Lastly, for those of you whose daughters have come through camps and are too old to attend please pass this on to any new hockey families that may be looking for a summer camp.
Thanks for your support and best wishes in the rest of your hockey season!

(Mystic, CT – Sept. 27, 2016) Today during a routine medical exam Mystic Aquarium staff discovered that the wayward manatee dubbed "Washburn" is pregnant. The 800 pound female was rescued by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) last Thursday in Falmouth, MA just before the water temperatures dropped to an uninhabitable 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
"An ultrasound conducted by our veterinary team determined that the manatee is between four and five months pregnant," added Dr. Stephen M. Coan, President & CEO of Mystic Aquarium. "This further elevates the importance of this effort and the care she is receiving by our world-class team of professionals. For all of us it provides a boost to the conservation efforts of this incredible but endangered species."
"We were really fortunate to find the manatee and rescue her before the water temperatures dropped," said Katie Moore IFAW's Animal Rescue Program Director. "Knowing that she is carrying a calf makes her survival even more important."
The gestation period for a manatee is approximately one year. The pregnant manatee will continue to be monitored to assess when she will be stable enough for transport to longer term rehabilitation in Florida before ultimately being released back to coastal waters.

Eyebrow transplants are devised to recover growing hair to exceedingly thin, completely absent or scarred eyebrows. This nonappearance of eyebrow hair may be caused by past electrolysis, surgical trauma, genetics, accidents, thyroid abnormalities, hormonal anomalies, burns, or laser hair removal.
What You Need To Understand About Eyebrow Hair Transplants
Hairs come from donor regions of the body, such as the scalp. When transplanted to the eyebrow region they will keep growing over a lifetime and will as such require monthly trimming for maintenance. For a natural look, there is a transfer of the hairs one or two follicles at a time, which is the manner in which there is the natural growth of eyebrow hair. The procedure is quite straightforward. The magnitude of the procedure you want to be done can vary between a full eyebrow restoration to give them more volume to a minute restoration amount to hide a scar. It can go from 50-400 grafts per brow.
First things first the brow is designed with the doctor relying heavily on the patient's feedback seeing as it should be according to their liking and also ensuring the design is pleasing to the eye and looks as natural as possible. Sedation is administered either orally or via injection after which there will be no unpleasantness.
There is the removal of donor hairs from the back of the head either via follicular unit extraction technique or the strip method. You and the doctor can choose which of the two methods you will want to be done depending on the patient's ethnicity, their aims and interests, and how they wear their hair. Sometimes in a bid to get finer hairs, they will be gotten from lower down the back of the head. Grafts will be arranged beneath microscopes after which the doctor will prepare the recipient sites which will ascertain the growth inclination and order.
There will be graft placement of the hair follicles, one at a time, in the respective recipient sites. After a few hours, a majority of the hairs will have been transplanted; the eyebrows will undergo checking as many times as required to ensure both parties (the doctor and the patient) are contented with the thickness and shape. The entire process takes roughly 4 hours with just a bit of discomfort experienced in the donor region by the patient in question.
For the first 5 days or so, there is some expected redness followed by formation around each transplanted hair of tiny crusts whereby there will be less pinkness afterward. This can, however, be hidden with makeup. This will fade and start looking more natural over the next few weeks. For some patients, there will be some mild swelling and be bruising around the eyes. The eyebrows become better and better within the following 6 months and will require regular grooming and a trim roughly every fortnight.
Few risks are involved, such as poor growth of the transplanted donor hairs, broadening of a strip donor site and extended period of pinkness in the area. However, the procedure will not affect your day-to-day activity and you can go about your daily business up to 7 days after the procedure if not less, depending on how long the signs take to disappear.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse...If you do," says the lord of Heaven's Armies, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! - Malachi 3:10
By partnering together, God's work is done more effectively. Even Paul recognized this in the newly formed churches of the New Testament. He tells the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 8:13-15, "Of course, I don't mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal." When we are willing to give, the church is able to impact the community in amazing ways.*

Sound Relief – Wolfmother do their bit
February 26, 2009
Those of you who live in Victoria, Australia, have no doubt all been affected to a greater or lesser extent by the bushfires that swept your state. Some of you may know or be related to those that were devastatingly lost. And after so long, the fires still rage and people's lives are still at risk …
Well to support Australia's greatest ever natural disaster an event called Sound Relief is being held on Saturday March 14 in Melbourne and Sydney. Wolfmother is one of the confirmed acts and wow what a line up. Almost worth buying a ticket from London for!
– Augie March
– Bliss N Eso with Paris Wells
– Gabriella Cilmi
– Hunters & Collectors
– Jack Johnson
– Jet
– Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson w/ Troy Cassar-Daley
– Kings Of Leon
– Liam Finn
– Midnight Oil
– Paul Kelly
– Split Enz
– Wolfmother
– Coldplay (ACOUSTIC)
– Eskimo Joe
– Hoodoo Gurus
– Icehouse
– Jet
– Josh Pyke
– Little Birdy
– The Presets
– Wolfmother
– You Am I
– + more acts to be announced
All bands deserve credit for taking part in such a just cause, but Kings of Leon and Coldplay especially because they both have sold out gigs of their own that evening, so even doing a few songs is fantastic. And credit to Jet and Wolfmother for being willing to cover both venues!
I can't close this post without mentioning Midnight Oil – who would have thought that you'd ever get the chance to see them again!
More news about the event can be found on the Sound Relief website: www.soundrelief.com.au
Tickets are $75 (bargain! I reckon they should have charged double) and go on sale from next Wednesday, March 4: www.ticketek.com.au
If you don't live in Australia or do but can't go, and would like to still support the cause, you can make an online donation at the Red Cross website: https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp
New members, new songs, new Wolfmother!
February 7, 2009
News of last night's gig is still fairly sketchy, but we do already have pics and a brief video of the show! And the news is, three new members! The pics are fairly bad quality but it looks like Dave Atkins was indeed on drums, a solo guitarist and a 'Chris Ross' – guitarist with organ/keyboard.
Click the pics for bigger.
There is also a video clip of a new song called Pilgrim, again pretty bad quality but check it out anyway.
[Update], thanks to Cameron via the comments below, here's a better video of Pilgrim:
The bigger question for me is, what the hell is going on with Andrew's hair? It looks like he needs some backcombing to get the afro back and away from the 'Hurley' look.
What's lacking are any reviews! Come on guys and gals, I know some of you went to the gig, spill! And any more pics or videos would be much appreciated too.
Oh and I am now fairly certain that White Feather is a pen name for Wolfmother while they bed in the new members and test out new material – the Wolfmother name will return.
White Feather – formally known as Wolfmother(?)
February 3, 2009
Many of you will have seen the emailer about the new gig coming up and the apparent band name change (personally I haven't officially had the email yet – damn mailing system). Without an announcement alongside this, it is difficult to know what is behind this – is it:
- a permanent band name change to reflect the new direction, or "phase II" if you wish?
- a temporary change aimed at 'testing the waters' with a new lineup, in the hope that if things don't go so well the Wolfmother name won't be too badly tarnished?
- simply a promotional stunt aimed at getting mugs like us speculating what is going on to regenerate interest in the band?
- something else entirely?
My speculation is that it's point 2 or 3 and not a permanent move.
Anyway, the upshot for now is that there are two gigs coming up very soon – click the images for tickets:
More news when I get it!
