I've got good news for you fans of mobile technology and poetry: the FSG poetry ringtone is back for another year. As in the past two years, we've got an original couplet, composed by one of FSG's award-winning poets, available for download to your cell as a ringtone. Highly recommended for savvy poetry fans who appreciate a little lightness in their verse.
In 2007, Paul Muldoon wrote the ringtone. And last year we heard from Robert Pinsky (who you can listen to this year over at Norton's website Poems Out Loud).
This year's couplet is by Susan Wheeler, who just had a collection of poetry released. You can listen to her ringtone in the box below, or here's the couplet for those of you who like your poetry quiet:
No talk, no text, no tweet --Next time, let's meet!

Resurrection Lilies
My resurrection lilies finally bloomed!
I was afraid they wouldn't this year, they were so much later than everyone else's.
Last year there were 5 stalks, but the dogs rolled on them and broke them before they bloomed. This year there were 3 spikes, but one was broken off early. The other two bloomed, but this morning only one had flowers. I'm not sure what happened to the others, if they were knocked off or if they were past their prime and just fell off, but they laid sadly on the dewy ground when I went outside.
You can see my hand in one of the pictures. It was windy, so I held the stem to keep it still for the photo.
Although these have several common names such as pink ladies and surprise lilies, I love "resurrection lilies". In the spring the plants are lush and green among my white iris plants. In the summer the leaves completely disappear, and then - surprise - the flower stalks come forth from the dead earth and bloom in all their splendor. What a beautiful reminder of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Promos of the Week #2
This week, I've got 4 new promos for you, all in different styles.
First of all, some funky house courtesy of Just Kiddin', a british duo, who released their first EP a month ago.
This one is "All The Way to Love", my personal favourite, with a smooth bassline and good vocal samples, making this a nice summery track.
You can get the whole EP here.
All The Way To Love by Just Kiddin
Next up comes Dubmood, a French artist who has released his first EP this past March.
It is a slightly dirty electro/chiptune sound, but it doesn't go over the top, which is something that happens very often when making this sort of stuff.
I have to admit i don't understand the vocals, but it's a minor problem.
I couldn't decide what track to put here, so have the whole EP.
Dubmood - Badlands (DATA020) by Dubmood
Now we've got some spacey disco from Finnish artist Lumeet, who's showing us the debut single, "metacharm".
It's very 80's, quite dreamy and a brilliant work allround. If it had some vocals, it could've been a big hit back in the days of bright polyester jackets and mullets.
You can buy it here, and pay whatever price you want or just download it for free.
metacharm by lumeet
Finally, something a little darker from Danish group Battlekat and British artist Hyetal.
This remix of "He Didn't Want a Lovesong" is very beautiful and relaxing and the double beat gives it a bit more intensity. Very nice stuff here.

With the recent news that GE offered a total of $1.4 billion to buy two industrial 3D metal printing companies, 3D metal printing has been getting a lot of discussion. Spencer Wright has a great writeup.
Spencer's analysis is that GE is making moves toward offering a complete array of industrial 3D metal printing solutions, including the various software packages that are part of an industrial 3D printing workflow.
GE is betting that metal printing will replace more traditional processes like machining, in which one starts with a block of material and removes the undesired stuff, or fabrication, in which one makes or buys, say, tubes, and welds them together. And, come to think of it, those traditional processes sound so…inelegant compared to the efficiency of just printing whatever design one's heart desires. So if metal printing is mature enough for GE (not known for high-risk maneuvers) to invest in it, why isn't everything metal made by metal printing today?
1. Metal printing is different from plastic printing
Unlike plastic printing, metal printing remains a largely industrial affair. The machines cost roughly $250,000 and up. There's been no shortage of attempts to develop a consumer-grade, desktop metal printer, but none have had success even remotely approaching that of Formlabs and MakerBot. Meanwhile, plastic printers can now cost under $500.
The optimist in me says this is simply because the market is young and new. As one metal printing CEO put it, "We're in the early, early days of 3-D printing. If you think of aviation, we're at the World War I stage, when planes were made of canvas and wood. This is an industry with a very long arc." The pessimist wonders if the technical differences between metal printing and plastic printing will keep the price point too high for widespread consumer market penetration. As MakerBot co-founder Bre Pettis put it, "There's things that happen when metal melts. Aluminum you [melt] around 700 degrees. Does your oven go up to 700 degrees? You probably don't want that in your house." (He must've meant Celsius; pure aluminum melts at 1,221° F, which is 660° C.)
2. Metal printing cost-benefits
Metal printing is neat, and will only become more commonplace and important with time. That said, it may be like autonomous vehicles in that it's been a little overhyped; while the potential for disruption is huge, the "3D printed everything!!!1!!" future is a little further away than one might be led to believe based on the media coverage.
- It's possible to 3D print geometries that can't be produced economically by other methods (machining, casting, forging, stamping, fabricating, etc.)
- Material savings, because the printed part is closer to net shape and therefore uses only the minimum necessary material, where traditional methods produce more scrap (e.g. chips in machining and flash in forging).
(I've heard some chatter about an advantage in mechanical properties, i.e. that it's possible to produce 3D printed metal parts with better hardness/strength/toughness/etc. than would be possible with other methods, which would be interesting for some specialized applications, but not for most mainstream applications that currently use cheap materials like mild steel or 6061 aluminum.)
At the moment, for most metal parts, material costs are insignificant. The cost of raw materials is such a small percentage of the cost of goods sold (COGS) that even relatively large changes in material costs have a relatively tiny impact on overall part COGS. There are a few reasons for this:
- Metals are amazingly cheap. My own rule of thumb when buying steel is to budget $1/lb, and that's for relatively tiny quantities; manufacturers buying thousands of pounds are probably paying far less. When you buy a block of, say, aluminum, you get that exact amount of usable aluminum, unlike, say, wood, where it's not unusual to throw away 30% or 40% of a board. And metals are easy to store; they aren't prone to distortion and they last forever (steel rusts eventually, but the oxidation rate is pretty slow, especially indoors).
- Labor is so expensive that every other cost is small by comparison. In the welding industry, for example, labor generally makes up ~70% of costs. Welding filler metals typically represent only a small portion of overall welding costs, despite being relatively pricey as metals go.
- Scrap metal isn't necessarily waste. Industry magazines are full of ads for devices to convey, compress, and clean scrap chips, all to improve their sale price. I have a buddy who used to work for GE in supplier qualification. He qualified one supplier that did a lot of high-end machining of massive, intricate, expensive nickel castings used in GE jet engines. They told him they only broke even on the machining services; the profit came from selling their chips.
3. Beachead applications
Given the insignificance of material costs, the most important benefit of 3D printing in most applications is likely part geometry flexibility. The applications where this matters are being converted to printing.
Typically these beachead applications will be where:
- costs to machine the part would be high, e.g. because
- part geometry is complex or
- the material is difficult/expensive to machine;
- production quantities are low;
- part volume is low (i.e. the part would fit in a relatively small box);
- mix is high (i.e. there's variation between similar parts, as in medical implants);
- material costs are high (see above); and/or
- weight is important (it can make more sense to print a part to be a lighter, rather than paying to machine away more material)
Aerospace is rife with these applications, and indeed SpaceX and Blue Origin reportedly use printed parts in their rocket engines. Another field that comes to mind is medical implants, especially those rendered in titanium, which can be a pain to machine..
I expect most of these low-hanging-fruit applications will be converting from machining, as it's a process also generally well-suited to complex geometries, low production volumes, etc.
4. Inertia
Even in applications where 3D printing demonstrably makes more sense than a traditional process, and especially outside specialized fields like aerospace and medicine, traditional processes will persist. Manufacturing is generally a change-averse, risk-averse industry. Traditional methods are traditional for reasons that matter, especially to the accountants:
- Costs like maintenance and tooling are well understood.
- Manufacturing machinery, like machining centers and turret punch presses, is expensive; it's often either A. still being paid off, and therefore needs to be used frequently in order to justify its purchase, or B. been paid off already, in which case it generates (relatively) pure profit; either way, the accounts want the machinery used until it's dead, which usually takes decades.
Perhaps more importantly, the large, well-resourced companies that make traditional machinery and tooling have long-established relationships with their customers, increasing the costs of entering these markets.

The next season of "The Bachelor" may finally be adding some Latin flavor.
Sources are saying Venezuelan retired professional soccer player Juan Pablo Galavis has been offered the gig as the Bachelor for season 18.
"He's been told the gig is his if he wants it," an insider told E! News. "He's definitely interested and will most likely accept, although nothing's been signed yet."
The 31-year-old father was one of the eligible men on the current season of "The Bachelorette" with Desiree Hartsock.
And even though she sent him packing, Hartsock agrees Galavis would be a perfect choice.

ABC's Wants Roberto Martinez as 'The Bachelor', Report Says
"Girls in America will love Juan Pablo. They would love to see him as the Bachelor, because I get that on my Twitter feed all the time," she said.
ABC won't comment on whether Galavis is indeed the next bachelor, but fans will found out within a few weeks, on the season finale of "The Bachelorette."
The casting of Galavis would be a win-win for the ABC show which has been criticized for its lack of diversity. Also, from the response producers have gotten from fans, it appears the women of America want to see more from this Latino heartthrob.
"Not only do women seem to love him, casting him will help soothe accusations the series doesn't include enough minorities," the source added.
In October, a federal judge dismissed a case filed by two black men who claimed "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" discriminated against casting participants of color.
At the time of the lawsuit's filing, all of the men given star billing in the first 16 seasons of "The Bachelor" were white. Through seven seasons of "The Bachelorette," two male Hispanic contestants were selected winners and the rest were white.
U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger's ruling called the plaintiffs' efforts "laudable" but said the lawsuit was aimed at regulating the show's content, which is forbidden under the First Amendment.
"Ultimately, whatever messages 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette' communicate or are intended to communicate — whether explicitly, implicitly, intentionally, or otherwise — the First Amendment protects the right of the producers of these shows to craft and control those messages, based on whatever considerations the producers wish to take into account," Trauger wrote.

From Pakistan:
I am very anxious because of my 18-month-old child. I don't know what type of diabetes he has been suffering, but know that the illness has been present since his birth. Since birth, he has been on insulin, Lilly Regular and NPH. I just mix them according to the doctor's advice and inject to my son twice daily. But, for almost two years, the major problem which I have been facing is very unpredictable blood sugars with the same dose of insulin. Sometimes, he is 40 mg/dl [2.2 mmol/L] and sometimes he is 600 mg/dl [33.3 mmol/L]. Due to this, my child has twice gone into DKA, which, you know, is a life threatening condition. His mental and physical growth has also been compromised. I have recently learned of diluent for insulin and insulin pumps. Although both are unavailable here in Pakistan, I was hoping to get them through my brother who lives in the U.S. What supplies should I ask him to get for me?
First, you should have your brother contact Eli Lilly or Novo Nordisk, whichever company's insulin you are using. The USA main office numbers can easily be reached. They can usually arrange free diluting solutions. Then, this can be sent to you in Pakistan. We usually use a 1:10 dilution so that each line on your syringe will equal 0.1 units and be measurable.
Second, you should be in closer contact with a pediatric endocrinologist in Pakistan. If there is not one where you are living, then in the large cities where there are medical schools, there will be someone with this specialty. They can help you with alternative insulin regimens which should help control the glucose levels better than you are currently describing. Perhaps you can use Lantus instead of NPH. Or, perhaps an overlapping dose of NPH several times each day to prevent some of the large swings The key is doing many blood glucose tests each day so that you are not guessing. This then allows you to make frequent adjustments each day.
Lastly, you should inquire if there is the possibility of genetic testing to see if he has a mutation to explain such a young age of diabetes. This is probably not available in Pakistan or would be very expensive. However, the researchers in England will do this test at no charge as long as you get an appropriate blood sample mailed to them. Dr. Andrew Hattersley is the lead researcher. Your pediatric endocrinologist will know how to contact Professor Hattersley to see if there are congenital sulfonylurea receptor or potassium channel receptor abnormalities. If positive, this would allow discontinuing insulin and switching to a pill and better glucose control at the same time. But, one cannot make such a diagnosis without appropriate genetic testing.

Leslie T. Chang
Leslie T. Chang (Chinese: 張彤禾; pinyin: Zhāng Tónghé) is a Chinese-American journalist and the author of Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China (2008). A former China correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, she has been described as "an insightful interpreter of a society in flux."[1]
Factory Girls[edit]
In response to the negative press surrounding working conditions in Chinese factories, Chang decided to explore the subject from the perspective of the workers. In 2004 she traveled to the South Central China factory city of Dongguan to document the lives of Wu Chunming and Lu Qingmin, two migrant workers who were born to poor farming families. The book follows their lives over three years and also includes the author's own family history of migration within China and to the West.[2]
Factory Girls was named one of the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2008[3] and also received the 2009 PEN USA Literary Award for Research Nonfiction[4] and the Asian American Literary Award for nonfiction.[5] According to Chang's website, translations are forthcoming in French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Finnish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Arabic.[6]
Leslie Chang is the daughter of physicist Leroy Chang.[7] She graduated from Harvard College in 1991.[8] Her husband is author Peter Hessler.[8]

Whether you see an american icon or Illuminati codes in it, that's your personal interpretation.
Reality includes this world and other places. You can only experience them by going there.

That was the let down.

I get what you say but boy is that a truly lame way to view thing. I believe it but man that is so lame hahahaha.
People should grow some balls and try to be a bit more humble if that is their case. they should not depend on my intelligence or enlightened status for their own capabilities on their own quest to know why they are.
Take a plunge now and then, we know so very very little of the universe that if your going to hid behind a shield of who's hot and who's not....my god.
Well for those who think they are all knowing and got the down low on what's up I imagine it would be.
As for me, I tend to see multiple layers to things a one size fits all because there is knowledge in the knowledge in the knowledge in the knowledge.
If your not listening you wont hear nothing.
Why because I said he loves dog?

No, because he says he uses psychology. I have seen him say he projects authority but never a frequency. The frequency thing is your take on things. He has never said those words.
Originally posted by TucoTheRat
Yes but there are those in this dimension who will never go see or know of liberty Island, the don't have a TV or what ever it is they need to know of Liberty Island which means there could be much more to this very same dimension than we even know of.
But you must understand that in your mind you chose to hear nothing.
Awe common you know what meant.
If your not listening you wont hear.
Come on man, dogs feel earth quakes before the happen.
Is it really that far fetch to thing they can feel him, Have you see the show?
Plus a mental frequency is not such a far fetch way to project authority is it?

Do you think that if you drop an empty soda can by the side of the road, that those that also happen to go by there won't see it because some MSM outlet didn't tell them about it?

If not specifically that then how does one see some a thing it had not chosen to see?
No they won't How is some one going to see a soda can if they have no idea what soda or a can is?
shinny rock r what ever closely resembles something the choose to see will be what they see.
But there is also the potability in my mind that the can might not even be there for the others when they arrive even if they do know what a soda can is.

It is there for them to see. They may even choose to kick it around a bit.

This makes no sense. Why would someone walking around the same roads you travel not know what soda or a can is? When there is an oil spill at sea, are the sea creatures unaffected because they don't have televisions?

I've gotten myself a Fitbit! Why? Really, it's the boyfriend's fault. Have I mentioned how he loves his tech toys? Not in a million years would I have guessed I'd be living in an apartment with a television that big. Or even a television at all. I always do everything with my laptop and my phone. That's the only tech I need. I never buy anything new until one of those two falls apart completely because I don't like spending money on that stuff. But now the boyfriend has all this fun tech that he gets so enthusiastic about and it's so contagious!
For example: I now watch him play Playstation games. Let me tell you, I am not a gamer and don't think I'll ever be one, but watching those story games is just like watching a super long movie and playing a board game at the same time. It's something really fun to do together if you also happen to have a partner with a much higher level of 'geekiness' (which I use in a very loving way) then you have yourself. I for example really enjoyed Firewatch, about a ranger in a national park where someone disappeared, and some weird stuff happens. I also weirdly enjoy Hitman, because it's kinda like an interactive Bond movie. You go to different places like Bangkok, where you get a target and a bunch of information, and you spend your game trying to find ways to get to your target without being caught and all that. Great fun! I tried playing it myself once but man, those controls are tricky to use! It's much more fun having the boyfriend do the hard work while I just watch and make suggestions. And that way he gets to do his thing and play games, and I get to do my thing, which at that point is sitting on the couch and figuring out stuff, think riddles like in escape rooms and all that.
Also, he now has this super fancy super fast gaming computer (which he got under the pretence of needing a faster computer for editing his videos, as of course, he's a bit of a vlogger) with some really fun simulator games. (This is when I found out that name The Sims comes from the fact that it's a simulator game 😉 ) Once in a while, I enjoy a good Cities Skylines marathon. (It's kinda like a new Sim Cities, but better apparently.)
I even didn't let my old phone fall into pieces before I got a new one! Well, new one. My phone was starting to get slow and it didn't really have much space for all the apps I like using (most of them recommended to me by the boyfriend, of course), so naturally the boyfriend had another phone lying around that I now get to use, an LG G3. Bigger, faster, newer. It does the trick 😉
And my latest addition: a Fitbit sports watch and activity tracker! The boyfriend somehow managed to get a free upgrade from his dad's old broken Fitbit, and ever since he's been super conscious about his physical health. We've always tried to be healthy, go for walks and runs and eat decent food, but only to the point where we enjoy it. We're definitely not fitness freaks and still love our pizza and chocolate, but we've found it does help us to be happy if we're healthy. And now, we're really trying to change our lifestyle for the better!
This Fitbit also has a great app where you can have a little energising social network. The boyfriend's been doing these challenges with his colleagues to see who gets the most steps and all that, and it really makes him get out and about more. For me, I always enjoy going for a run but I never really know if I'm making any progress, because I always end up running longer and longer but never really any faster it seems. Also, rather than just training on cardio, I should really try to burn some fat if I want my general fitness (which isn't bad at this point really) to get any better. I'm overweight, so the best thing for me to do is train on a slightly lower heart rate until I have a more healthy weight. And then, my general fitness should start improving like a rocket. But obviously, apart from checkin my level of 'red face' in the windows of the houses I run passed, I have no idea how hard I'm actually training. So finally, now, my brand new Fitbit Surge tells me all I need to know! It tells me my heart rate, how fast I'm running, and on top of all that it also does the daily activity tracking and it's super user friendly app totally let's me keep on top of my health, which so far, I'm really enjoying.
Whether I'm enjoying it because it's a fun tech toy and the idea of being active is sort of game-ified or I'm just enjoying being more active, at this point I don't think it matters. All I know is that I feel healthier, happier, and I hope I'll keep enjoying it like I am now.
So even for people generally suspicious of tech who might think, just like I did, that 'you don't need any of this stuff to be who you want to be, or to be happy', I say true. But it definitely a lot more fun to have than I expected 😉

A bit late....pics from September's BYU game
My sister in law just sent these to me and I thought they were worth posting. Back in September we headed over to New Orleans to watch BYU play Tulane. We were excited to be able to watch BYU play and to have a great afternoon with the one of the other Sanders clans. The kids had a great time going up and down, up and down the bleachers. We also ran into old friends from Columbia....our past bishop and his wife and the Roberts and their cute kids. It was a great afternoon and a great way to spend Andrew's 1st birthday...

Before using the secret login and password to join the project V2CL Virtual Classes and Collaborative Learning, the teacher must translate the charter in the students' native language, read the charter with the students and ask the students for a written agreement to the following conditions :
- The project is designed so that people from different countries, sometimes very distant, get to know each other better, learn how to understand each other, to respect each other and to exchange their ideas on subjects concerning culture, literature and economics. These are the reasons why we ask the teachers and the students who take part in this project to comply with the following rules :
- Please read the students' assignment.
- Only include photos, drawings and writings in direct connection with the students' assignment.
- Do not include any material which is indecent or which could shock in any way.
- Students are not allowed to insert links to web pages or email addresses in the Communication Area.
- Photos must be inserted in the photos area.
- Be in accordance with the law in your country. For instance, in France you need the written agreement of a person to depose her/his photo on the Internet plus the written agreement from the parents if under 18. Think about parents' written agreement for video conferencing.
- Do not type the family names of students, just their first names.
- Do not divulge your secret login and password to anybody. Do not save your password on a computer.
- As a teacher, you are responsible for supervising the activity of your students on the WKTO Virtual Learning Environments. Your students are not allowed to open discussion about any illegal activity or political opinions. With your teachers' login, you can open and modify the texts in all the different virtual classes. A teacher has a moderating role to play : she (he) may intervene to modify the texts written by students so that they conform to the charter.
- On special occasions such as the start of a vacation, Christmas or New Year holidays, or a sports event like the Olympic Games, students can exchange messages in the Communication Area as long as they comply with the Charter of Good Conduct.

To the person posting one star continuously to bring down the rating of this film - grow up imbecile. Just because you didn't like or maybe understand the film doesn't mean you can be so nasty. This film is not for everyone, I'll admit, but for those who love the original this is a must see continuation of the Blade Runner story.
Wow the user plagiarism my post. Lol.
The movie was good.
The original Blade Runner is much, much better. Honestly, this movie was so slow in the beginning I fell asleep briefly. This is 2 + hours I'm never getting back......Save your money.....for those of you who have never seen the original - see it.
2049 will be, IMHO, regarded as one of the best science fiction movies ever made. I'm talking top 5 best. Better than 2001, and coming from me, that's saying a lot. Expect to be amazed, reassured, amazed, mystified, heartbroken, exhausted, and grateful once you realize that everyone involved with Blade Runner 2049 loves the original at least as much as you do and made this film at the top of their game. Just phenomenal. Satisfying "Bladerunnerisms" preserve what was best/most affecting about the original and a few Vangelis riffs and original cast members reappear to validate the proceedings. The cast is excellent and I fully expect, among dozens of other nominations, a richly deserved Oscar nod for Harrison Ford. Citizens of the "Marvel Universe" must be going in expecting some kind of thrillfest but people who have ever read a science fiction book will understand how a real story should feel - not rushed, rich with emotion and detail. See the 1982 version (Director's cut) and go in expecting a serious mood and you'll remember the first time you saw 2049. [Note: saw the film in IMAX expecting to get an eye-full (check) but the audio was SO LOUD it was frightening - we had to put rolled up strips of napkins in our ears (an old trick I came up with for withstanding Who concerts]. I'm sure some of the explosions were as loud as - explosions (150db+?}. Pity those who think the movie is too long (at 2:44 - The Avengers = 2:23, Batman v. Superman = 2:31 min.) what's your hurry? - try waiting in line to see it - for 35 years
Harrison Ford showed up only at the end, so this is fake advertising and misleading. This movie was an upgrade of the first one. And yes short attention span people can't handle this kind of movie.
5 stars Slandering the movie theater for a movie? Lol Some movies are good others no. No need to acuse everyone who post in here negative reviews. This will never turn into a lawsuit. I did not like the 3D version. All tickets were sold out for the regular shows. The seating area was great where you can move your legs up little bit, No too much previous. Movie was horrible.
I was very disappointed in this movie. It seemed that everything was done in slo-mo (even walking across the screen seemed endless). I was expecting it to be a good movie, but it wasn't in my humble opinion (AND I DO NOT HAVE A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN)!
I agree Harrison was in a tiny part of the movie. This movie was an upgrade of the first one.
And yes short attention span people can't handle this kind of movie.
Improved on everything the first movie had. The movie was meant to see in IMAX , do not spend your time and money to see the gimmick which is 3D. The visuals are outstanding and Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is stunning. They perfectly capture the style of the first film. My only complaints are that they advertise Harrison Ford as a large part of the film where he is only in a small portion and that the movie stretched on for almost three hours. Also the female replicant villain I didn't find any special. It is a must see movie for anyone who loves sci-fi films, but if you have a short attention span or your children do think twice before going. I personally enjoyed every part of it.
Should have been released straight to DVD

Elassoma boehlkei
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Elassoma boehlkei Rohde & Arndt, 1987
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable B1ab(iii,v)+2ab(iii,v) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Smith, K. & Darwall, W.R.T.
|Hammerson, G.A. & Ormes, M.
This species is listed as Vulnerable because its extent of occurrence is less than 5000 sq km, area of occupancy is less than 500 sq km, the species is represented by not more than 10 locations, the distribution may be severely fragmented, and some populations and/or their habitats appear to be declining.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|The range includes small areas in the drainages of Waccamaw River and Santee River in North Carolina and South Carolina (Quattro et al. 2001). Distribution is irregular and localized (Sandel and Harris 2007). See dot map in Menhinick (1991) for distribution in North Carolina.
Two population centers exist in the upper Waccamaw River drainage in North Carolina: Juniper Creek (the largest persistent population) in Brunswick and Columbus counties, and one site (a ditch) that drains into Big Creek, tributary to Lake Waccamaw, Columbus County. The range in North Carolina encompasses an area about 15 miles square. Range in the Waccamaw River system in North Carolina is likely to be expanded with further search. A recent survey of Nature Conservancy's Waccamaw River and Black River preserves did not encounter any Elassoma boehlkei (Smith 1996).
In the Waccamaw River drainage in South Carolina, the species occurs in Horry County and in several old ricefield ditches off Jerico Creek in the Samworth Game Management Area, near Georgetown, Georgetown County.
The Santee River population occupies a small pool adjacent to Big Pine Tree Creek, near Camden, Kershaw County, South Carolina (Rohde and Arndt 1987).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:United States
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|This species is represented by several distinct occurrences (subpopulations).
Total adult population size is unknown. The species is extremely localized and uncommon (Page and Burr 2011) but not rare; sometimes locally common (Sandel and Harris 2007).
South Carolina populations seem stable; populations near Lake Waccamaw (Brunswick and Columbus counties, North Carolina) seem to be in decline (Sandel and Harris 2007).
At times, this species is relatively common in known habitat patches. Populations either use alternate habitats or fluctuate substantially with the seasons (Sandel and Harris 2007).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species' habitat includes shallow, quiet water (ponds, pools, streams, and roadside ditches, including tidal freshwater), with a soft detritus-rich substrate and abundant emergent and/or submerged aquatic vegetation; occurrences are in weakly alkaline to strongly acidic waters; often in human-disturbed habitats (Shute et al. 1981, Rohde and Arndt 1987, Rohde 1997, Sandel and Harris 2006, P. W. Shute pers. obs.).
|Movement patterns:
|Not a Migrant
|Use and Trade:
|This species is of minor value in commercial aquaria.
|Major Threat(s):
Rohde and Arndt (1987) and Sandel and Harris (2007) reported threats as follows. Local extirpations have been associated with urbanization. Anecdotal evidence suggests that competition with congeners may exclude this species from optimum habitat. Some populations are at considerable risk of over-harvesting by private aquarists. Recent droughts have severely affected the populations in North Carolina. Rohde and Arnst (1987) stated that no known populations are threatened (generally removed from urban areas, streams not likely to be dammed), but their occurrence mostly along roadsides makes them vulnerable to habitat alteration and/or pollution.
Warren et al. (2000) categorized this species as "Vulnerable" (may become endangered or threatened by relatively minor disturbances to its habitat or that deserves careful monitoring of its distribution and abundance).
|Conservation Actions:
Emergency caretaking procedures are being developed to prevent extirpation of evolutionarily significant units (M. Salmon and J.R. Shute pers. comm. cited by Sandel and Harros 2007). Riverbanks Aquarium and Conservation Fisheries Inc. conduct independent conservation projects involving propagation of this species.
Better information is needed on metapopulation dynamics, geographic distribution, and life history (Sandel and Harris 2007). Expanded surveys of Waccamaw River tributaries, and surveys of Lumber River tributaries, are needed.

Many of us know firsthand that losing weight and staying fit can be tough.
For me, I started a journey a little over a year ago to get in better shape before my 30th birthday. While diet and 2 day diet exercise were the ultimate keys to my success, technology played an important role in keeping me accountable, tracking my progress and making my workouts more effective.
Now that I've reached some of my fitness goals, I'd like to share the tools I used. These will be more important to me than ever as I try to maintain my weight loss and improve my strength and endurance.
Diet and exercise are the most important parts of losing weight or staying in shape. Technology helped me keep tabs on what I was eating and how many calories I was burning.
I used MyFitnessPal, a free service that lets you maintain a digital diary of your food choices, cardio work and strength training.
The service is very simple to use. Because you can update entries using a phone app or a website, you have almost no excuse not to enter the information no matter where you are. Apps are available for the iPhone, the iPad and Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices.
When first using the program, you're prompted for such information as weight, height, age and activity level. That's used to create a plan for how many calories you should eat and what percentage should come from protein, fat or carbohydrates. You can also set your own parameters.
You then enter what you're eating (and drinking) for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks, throughout the day, and the app records the calories, fat, protein, carbs and vitamins. MyFitnessPal has an extensive list of fresh and packaged foods to choose from. Choose an apple or a can of Campbell's soup, and MyFitnessPal will add the nutritional information to your count. The database also includes popular recipes found in magazines, so you don't have to enter the ingredients individually.
You can even copy an entire meal to another day if you're a creature of habit like me. Or use your phone's camera to take a picture of a barcode and have the app look up the nutritional information for you.
But food is half the battle. MyFitnessPal also lets you enter your workouts and strength training. Just as you do with food, you simply select the activity, such as cleaning, walking the dog, taking a spinning class or, for me, playing ice hockey. Based on your personal health information, the service calculates the number of calories burned. While the numbers are only estimates, they provide a pretty solid guideline.
Once you're done Menova Qianweisu Slimming Herbs Capsule entering your information, you can look at charts, graphs and lists of your diet and exercise to get a better view of your day or week.
The app will project your weight in five weeks and tell you whether you're eating too few or too many calories on any given day.

America Under Siege - Be ReadySun Sep 18, 2016 08:2522.214.171.124Let us pray that this story does not get banned like the last one we wrote:
Video: America Under Siege - Be Ready At Home - YouTube
Americans Are Under Siege by those who claim to be our own government agencies
FASCISTs attack their enemies and kill their own citizens to spread fear across the world
1st) A pipe Line was simply turned off in Alabama a few days ago that has led to a Gasoline Shortage across the South East - from Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, parts of Mississippi and the Western Carolinas.
Vern Stokesberry was a friend of mine and he owned the largest Gas Distribution Trucking Company in the 1990s in Oregon. He delivered Gas and Diesel from Eugene all across the state so for a Gas Shortage to be created by One Leaky Line is Bizarre indeed.
Gas could be either trucked up or re-routed to supply the affected areas. Look at the map of the Gas Pipelines
Yet the caller who alerted us clearly stated where she has found the shortages to be.
The in last Gas Crisis 1973 My Wife and her dad (Who ran 3 Gas Stations) were told to prepare 9 months before the Gas Shortage - in other words - this current Gas Shortage was planned by the Oil Companies. And allowed by our own Federal Agencies (Corporations)
2) The Russian SVR has been tracking several Islamic Terrorist Groups all across America (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) and notified the CIA of attacks to be conducted on 1/17/2016 to honor the Islamic Feast Of Sacrifice (Feast Of Murder) Eid-al-Adha.
What ensued after the Russian Warning were the following attacks - all in the name of Allah as the FBI and CIA did nothing to stop these attacks:
a) There was a Bomb Blast in New York City by an Islamic Terrorist last night that injured 29 people.
b) There was an Islamic Stabbing in Minnesota leaving 6 wounded and the attacked dead
c) A Bombing occurred in Sea Side Park in New Jersey in a Dumpster near a race put on by the Marine Corp for Charity, done buy an Islamic Cell
3) Other key violent activities on this Islamic Feast Of Murder include:
a) A string of Arsons in Chicago left 7 buildings torched, The Arsonist - despite cameras every where - is still at large.
b) In the mean time Chicago Shootings are up to 3,079 for the year with 7 occurring last night alone.
c) In DC last night 6 people were shot and 2 killed about 1 mile South East of the White House.
4) The BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol Tabacco Firearms and Explosives) has retroactively outlawed certain types of Smokeless Ammunition making it a Felony to possess this type of ammunition and they gave themselves permission openly search homes without a Warrant to seize this ammunition.
5) In an odd occurrence - yet very much related - this Author went to a Feed Store and was looking at Rifles and Pistols. When he questioned the Gun Store (Across the Street and West from the Nordstrom Rack in Auburn) about selling pistols to non-US citizens without proper passports the Manager of the Gun Department immediately called a meeting and came out and told this author that he refused to do business with him.
Just a guess - the BATF and FBI will do nothing to stop these activities.
No gas mean no food deliveries - yet UPS, Fedex, and the Post Office seemed to find gas to deliver during the last Gas Crisis.
This is why we sponsor these Food Companies - the food is delivered right to your front door during disasters and Gas Shortages.
Please Pray that your family is ready for theses kinds of attacks by the corporations in the United States like the CIA and FBI.

It's Cherry Blossom time in Washington, D.C. When hordes of tourists descend upon the city armed with cameras. I generally find the crush of people too overwhelming to take my own camera to Tidal Basin during the festival.
I've lived in the D.C. area for more than a decade and before this month, had only gone to see the blossoms twice. This year, however, I decided it was time to try again armed with the right gear (tripod and shutter remote) and the will to get up earlier than most. I went last weekend (peak was supposed to be last week) and had the place to myself, but a disappointing sunrise.
Although I was not rewarded with the best sunrise today, I did capture some beautiful views of my adopted city, spent time with a friend and logged quite a bit of practice with long exposures and sunrise metering. I also realized live view is a huge (but necessary) battery drain and I really need to order a backup battery.
Here are just a few of my favorites from today.

Yesterday has been such a wonderful day!! We've been outside for a walk with the kids
the first time since the 5th of December!!!! Everyone was ill, sometimes both of the kids
and on top of that me too. I felt like a prisoner in my own home at last.
So we all enjoyed it to the fullest to be outside again:o) One of the kid's favorite place
is an old cemetery. Seems a bit odd but they love to play at the numerous water basins which
are actually for the people who visit their gone beloved ones and want to water the plants
on the graves. So that's where they wanted to go and we could have spent much more
time there but it was so cold that we only stayed half an hour and rushed back into
our cozy apartment, making ourselves some cups of hot chocolate to become warm
again. I love those days where your hands are so cold and only a hot drink can warm
them up again:o)
Since I really like to wear different coats during winter time and from time to time a little
portion of color is needed against all the grey outside, I enjoy wearing this pink plaid coat
that matches perfectly with my magenta Hunter boots. Yeah...there was a time when I didn't like
those boots at all but I got them on sale on theoutnet.com for only 45€. Who can say no to that??
And on top of that they are really cozy, I didn't have a single blister from them. I'm also thinking
about getting a pair of red ones as well...
Coat: Warehouse
Hat: Börjesson (similar here)
Scarf: Paula Bianco
Bag: Mango (old but I also love this one
from Rebecca Minkoff)
Leggings: H&M (similar one from Mango)
Boots: Hunter Boots

About Us
Many University of Michigan students have mental health disorders which require ongoing care. The Campus Mind Works website was designed to simplify access to the wide variety of mental health and academic support resources at the University of Michigan, and provide information to help students stay healthy and manage college life.
The website was developed by the University of Michigan Depression Center and the Division of Student Affairs, in collaboration with schools and colleges across the U-M campus. Initial funding for the Campus Mind Works initiative was provided by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
Campus Mind Works is intended to work in concert with MiTalk, a website designed for all U-M students to learn about mental health and wellness issues.
Campus Mind Works Mission
- Provide resources and information to help U-M students succeed in college while managing a psychiatric disorder;
- Provide information for families, faculty, staff, and students focusing on ways to support a U-M student with a psychiatric disorder;
- Facilitate access to psychiatric services for the subset of U-M students who have ongoing psychiatric disorders.
Is this the right website for me?
- If you have a psychiatric emergency or need help right away, call Psychiatric Emergency Services at 734-936-5900.
- If you have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder and are looking for ongoing support resources, you are in the right place. Click on the "Students" sidebar to get started.
- If you are looking for mental health support services, visit our resource database where you can use specialized search features to find appropriate campus and community resources.
- If you have concerns about the mental health of yourself or a friend, visit MiTalk.
If you have comments about the website or would like further information, please contact email@example.com. We will respond to your message within 48 hours.
The Campus Mind Works e-mail address is not meant for health related questions or concerns. If you are concerned about your mental health, please call Counseling and Psychological Services at 734-764-8312. If this is an emergency, please call 911, or Psychiatric Emergency Services at 734-936-5900.
Campus Mindworks is the result of the vision of Waltraud ("Wally") Prechter, a tremendous supporter of the University of Michigan and the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Fund. Following her lead, the Depression Center submitted a proposal for this program to the U.S. Department of Education. Special thanks to Congressman Joseph Knollenberg for his support of this proposal and his efforts toward improving mental health care for residents of the State of Michigan.

Boherquill Ramblers
The Ramblers returned to the more familiar territory of Mullaghmeen Forest for their first walk after their weekend away in Drumshanbo in October. But they still needed Frank Higgins as a guide through the maze of trails in Mullaghmeen, even after their many visits there over the years. Mullaghmeen's many beech trees had shed most of their leaves during the recent windy weather, providing a multi-coloured covering on the forest floor. The lack of a canopy of leaves also let in more light to show off the trees' grey trunks, many of them with a coat of healthy green moss. The ferns and lower greenery were dying back too, allowing wider views through the forest and giving an idea of its extensive area. Thank you to Frank for leading the Ramblers on the walk which combined parts of several trails to create a very satisfying outing. On Sunday, November 9th the Ramblers will walk in Derrycassin Forest beside Lough Gowna. Cars will leave Boherquill at 1.30pm and meet at Derrycassin at 2pm. There are several Sunday afternoons available for walks before Christmas, so any suggestions for walks, old or new, would be very welcome. Dates can be checked at www.boherquillramblers.ie.

Streete C team play away in Castlepollard. Our bowls club gave a bowls demonstration at the sports and community expo held in Granard recently. There was great interest shown in the sport.

What happens when the only candidate for a congressional seat that met the requirements to be on the primary ballot isn't the choice of the establishment GOP? Well, you hold a secret meeting and pick another one, for the people, of course! This is what happened in Michigan's 11th district. U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter is retiring after serving 5 terms. Well, actually he's retiring after coming up with 1,833 signatures (requirement is 1,000), but only 244 were allowed.
The only candidate meeting the signature requirements to be placed on the GOP ballet for the Michigan primary, Aug 7th, is Kerry Bentivolio. Kerry, supported by TEA Party'ers, is a high school teacher and gentleman farmer (reindeer and chickens) from Milford, a veteran of the Vietnam and Iraq wars and a Ron Paul enthusiast. Oops! Red flags just went up in the MIGOP.
About 25 Wayne and Oakland County GOP leaders and elected officials huddled Wednesday (June 6th) at the Suburban Collection Showplace to coalesce around one candidate. About 11 members reunited Thursday at a hotel to interview the possible write-in candidates the party could get behind, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said.
"She really knocked the ball out of the park," Patterson said of Cassis. The vote to back Cassis was unanimous.
"While there is an individual on the ballot, the people deserve a choice, and that shouldn't be an accidental choice," Cassis said.
