Over at ESPN.com, crack reporter Pierre Lebrun's question of the week was: Who is your current favorite for Jack Adams Award for NHL coach of the year?
Lebrun writes that Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien, New Jersey's Brent Sutter and San Jose's Todd McClellan garnered the most support from his readers, while Calgary's Mike Keenan was left out in the cold.
After posting a sampling of the responses that endorsed Julien, Lebrun agreed with most of the readers' points and then wrote: "I'll be shocked if Julien doesn't get one of the three nominations at season's end."
MK: Well, don't be shocked Pierre. Remember, Julien got a team that had no business reaching the playoffs into the postseason and failed to reach the final three last season. At this point, Lebrun's readers have it right — Julien, McLellan and Sutter are the three favorites. And ironically, the great job Julien did last season, and the success the Bruins enjoyed, will probably handicap their coach this time around. Sutter will probably be the choice based on his team playing great without its Hall of Fame goaltender all season. Expect Los Angeles' Terry Murray, Florida's Pete DeBoer or Columbus' Ken Hitchcock to crash the top three if any of those teams make the playoffs.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Beaumont's iRule Dance Studio brought home two national team titles, as well as several individual placements, from the LA DanceMagic competition in Irvine, Calif., last month.
"Sailing Angels."
At first glance, it sounds almost like an oxymoron. The word "sailor" can conjure images of grizzled, profanity-spewing old men, whereas angels are a universal symbol of virtue and purity.
After hearing Dave McCabe talk about his first experience with special needs children, however, the phrase begins to make more sense.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Homosexuality and Hepatitis
Concerning homosexuality and hepatitis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B disproportionately affects men who have sex with men (MSM) due to lack of adequate protection and irresponsibility.[1][2] According to the CDC, "About 10% of all new HAV [Hepatitis A Virus] infections in the United States are among MSM. Although the overall incidence of hepatitis A has declined in the United States over the past decade, frequent outbreaks continue to be reported among MSM." [3] The CDC also reports that "About 15%-20% of all new HBV [Hepatitis B Virus] infections in the United States are among MSM."[4]
In a 2007 article entitled Advances in the Management of Viral Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Infection in HIV-Coinfected Patients Vincent V. Soriano, MD, PhD reported in Medscape the following regarding homosexuality and Hepatitis C viral infections:
|Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has not been thought to be efficiently transmitted through sexual contact. However, recent reports of outbreaks of acute hepatitis C among men who have sex with men (MSM) have changed this view. British researchers examined 7223 MSM who attended a single clinic in Brighton, United Kingdom, since 2000. The study investigators reported that highly risky sexual practices along with multiple sex partners explained the increase in episodes of acute HCV infection in this population.[5]
Hepatitis is one of the illnesses of gay bowel syndrome.

Debby posed a flooding and tornado threat as it headed toward the Atlantic on Wednesday, forecasters warned, even if it didn't pack the same punch.
The National Hurricane Center downgraded Debby from a tropical storm to a tropical depression Tuesday night as it slogged across northern Florida toward the Atlantic coast. Debby's maximum sustained winds early Wednesday were near 35 mph.
But forecasters said a combination of storm surge and tide could bring flooding to coastal areas that have already been drenched by the storm that sat virtually motionless in the Gulf of Mexico for several days.
There was already major flooding at Black Creek, as well as several other rivers in the Jacksonville region, National Weather Service meteorologist Angie Enyedi said. She said tornadoes could form to the east and the southeast of the storm.
The hurricane center said early Wednesday that Debby was 25 miles southeast of St. Augustine, Fla., and moving east-northeast at about 10 mph. The storm was expected to head out to sea later in the day.
But many in Debby's path were still recovering from flooding that damaged homes, washed out roads, opened up sinkholes and closed a section of Interstate 10 — the state's main east-west highway.
Water was up to the roofs at some homes in low lying areas of Live Oak on Wednesday. Several feet of water remained around businesses in downtown near the courthouse and many roads were impassable.
"The water came in so fast last night," said Live Oak resident Jorge Torres. "We were lucky to get out what we could. My shed is underwater."
Vacationers were wearing ponchos instead of swimsuits at the peak of the summer season because of the tropical storm, which has drenched Florida for at least four days straight like a giant shower head set up over the state's Gulf Coast. Debby has dumped as much as 26 inches of rain in some spots.
Disney World wasn't as crowded as usual Tuesday, and one of its water parks closed because of the soggy, windy weather.
Along the Florida Panhandle, the parking lot at the 100-room Buccaneer Inn was empty because of a power outage ahead of the usually big pre-July Fourth weekend.
"We've had bad luck on this island," said the inn's vice president, JoAnn Shiver. "We've had Dennis. We've had Katrina. We had the oil spill."
In a state where the biggest attractions are the sand and the sun, Debby forced many to make other plans.
Douglas and Carolyn Green of Nashville, Tenn., were supposed to spend a week on St. George Island with three generations of family, but arrived to find the electricity was out and the bridge closed to non-residents for fear of looters. They spent Monday night in nearby Apalachicola, and then all nine relatives headed to Fort Walton Beach.
"We never saw the island," said Douglas Green. "We're moving on. Plan B, I guess you'd call it."
Debby finally blew ashore Tuesday afternoon near Steinhatchee in the Big Bend area, the crook of Florida's elbow. At that point, it had sustained winds near 40 mph — barely a tropical storm — hours before it was downgraded.
Several areas in northern Florida have received more than 10 inches of rain. Forecasters had said southeastern Georgia could expect the same, but that risk was reduced when the storm turned eastward Tuesday night. Wakulla, an area in northwestern Florida known for camping and canoeing, had gotten more than 26 inches as of Tuesday.
A woman was killed in a tornado spun off from the storm Sunday, and a man disappeared in the rough surf over the weekend in Alabama. The storm knocked out power to 250,000 homes and business starting last weekend, but electricity had been restored to all but about 15,000 Progress Energy customers by midday Tuesday. Debby has caused mostly scattered flooding and opened up sinkholes, but forecasters warned it could get worse.
"Even though the winds are coming down, the rain threat continues," said James Franklin at the hurricane center. "We expect another 4 to 8 inches, in some of these areas up in north Florida, in particular."
President Barack Obama called Florida Gov. Rick Scott and promised the state will have "no unmet needs" as it deals with the flooding, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
In New Port Richey, a suburb about 30 miles north of Tampa, most of the 170-plus elevated homes at the Suncoast Gateway park for retirees had water underneath them. Several dozen homeowners decided to stay, despite having no electricity or tap water.
Some of those who left returned by kayak to collect their belongings.
Portions of Interstate 10 in Lake City, Fla., remained closed early Wednesday due to flooding. The Florida Highway Patrol said two sections of the interstate were still under water. Both sections were near the area where the highway intersects with Interstate 75.
Meanwhile, authorities reopened the Sunshine Skyway Bridge near St. Petersburg early Wednesday, more than two days after it was closed due to high winds.
In Apalachicola, the hugely popular Boss Oyster restaurant was closed for the third day in a row Tuesday after the rain overwhelmed the sewers and knocked out drinking water.
"We've taken a hit," said manager Matthew Bouzemann, adding that normally up to 800 customers a day would be coming in for the oysters.
In the Panama City Beach area, there was no exodus of tourists, said Jennifer Jenkins, executive director for the Gulf County tourism council. But it wasn't business as usual.
"I think most people went to the grocery store, maybe bought some board games and just decided to hang out till it's over," she said.

When you step back and look at the Republican Party over the last two years, it looks very much like a fourth grade classroom. As the party of "nuh uh", they look like they are just playing the opposite game, you know, the one where the pest in the class says the opposite of everything you say. This phenomenon has caused many Republicans to contort their positions and actually attack bills that they themselves were sponsors of and in some cases actually wrote. If that isn't an example of a juvenile game, I'm not sure what is. I posted about the critics of the Obama administration (through Politico) who tried there hardest to make the BP Oil spill President Obama's Katrina. Without any real knowledge of what the administration was doing, the reich-wing cooked up the "Obama's Katrina" narrative, even though everyone with any knowledge of what was happening knew it clearly wasn't true. The AP went fishing for a story to that effect and found out the truth. From a story at Huffington Post.
This came from Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.: "The American people deserve to know why the administration was slow to respond, why necessary equipment was not immediately on hand in the area and why the president did not fully deploy Cabinet-level federal officials" to the Gulf Coast until April 30.
There is so much wrong with that statement including the truth, but what strikes me is that apparently he is saying that the federal government should have had equipment on hand and in the area in case a private Oil Company (British), should have an accident. Isn't that some form of socialism, when the government is meddling with private businesses? Now maybe he is saying the government should have shifted all the resources of the federal government to get "necessary" (whatever the fuck that means) equipment in the area "immediately". Now considering this accident is unprecedented and all the greatest minds in our country are trying to figure out how to stop the flow, maybe Mike Pence can tell us what "necessary" equipment he is talking about. Here is the AP's conclusion followed by some details of exactly what the Obama administration did…
While the Obama administration has faced second-guessing about the speed and effectiveness of some of its actions, a narrative pieced together by The Associated Press, based on documents, interviews and public statements, shows little resemblance to Katrina in either the characterization of the threat or the federal government's response…
…Before noon the next day at the Interior Department, which oversees offshore drilling projects, the department's No. 2 official, Deputy Secretary David Hayes, raced to grab a commercial jet for New Orleans without even time to pack a bag. He sets up shop at a government command center already monitoring events.
"We obviously knew this was a bad situation," Hayes said in a recent interview. "But we were not in a mindset where we thought we were dealing with a major oil spill."
And you know this was before the spill started, he went down there immediately when it was just an explosion and loss of life, which warranted a response from the Administration, if only these people had been around when Katrina happened instead of Ole' Brownie. More details about the response, suck on it Mike Pence…
Two days after the fire erupted, Obama convened an Oval Office meeting to get the latest on what still was viewed largely as a major accident and rescue effort – 11 workers could not be found.
He asked departments to respond aggressively to help in the rescue and assess the environmental fallout. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs in a statement called the response "the No. 1 priority."
A team representing 16 agencies and offices that included the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency and the departments of Interior and Homeland Security was formed. As a precaution, 100,000 gallons of chemicals to break up oil on the waster was sent to three Gulf Coast locations.
The next bit of juvenile behavior I'll point out is the idea that we no longer mirandize American citizens accused of a crime. In 1966, the Supreme Court set out guidelines for what must be said to someone who is arrested. I won't paste them here, everyone knows them if they ever watched Dragnet or Adam 12. All civilized countries have similar guidelines or laws that are meant to protect the rights of their citizens, you know those basic human rights that the Republican Party no longer support. I just heard one of the biggest village idiots within the Republican party, Rudy Giuliani, on "This Week with Jake Tapper" express that idea as clearly as any. They believe that giving rights to anyone is giving rights to terrorists, it's black and white to them. It's similar to the people who don't have a problem with stopping Latinos in Arizona, they don't see how American citizens will lose rights under the plan. As long as they don't think it will directly affect them, they are cool with taking away other people's rights. That is exactly why the founding fathers put habeas corpus right in the main text of the Constitution.

I have been a few times before, but this year its looking like I might have to go it alone, hence asking if anyone else is going
For those of you who haven't heard of this festival its located in North West Germany, right in the middle of a small town of Bersenbruck, 20 miles north of Osnabrück, and:
- Is consistently voted the best reggae festival in Germany (where there are many)
- Has a unique friendly/relaxed atmosphere
- Features all sub genres i.e. vintage, dancehall, roots, established/up and coming artists, but no commercial artists like other festivals in Germany
- The highest percentage of foundation acts of any festival I've known (and for the last 7 years I have gone to around 6 EU Reggae festivals a year)
- You have the Opportunity to see every artist and thanks to two adjacent stages the music flows constantly with no gaps for band changes, etc
- A full weekend ticket inclusive of camping costs only 65 Euros, much less if you purchase an early bird ticket
- The majority of artists, even those who haven't preformed for many, many years are backed by a full band, (normally the excellent 'House Of Riddim')
- You get many exclusive artists that don't perform at other festivals i.e. in 2012 the Silvertones, Jays, Pinchers, Lt Stitchie, Kirk Davis, Pad Anthony, Captain Barkey & Wickerman, Half Pint, Meeks & Meeks, Mega Banton, the list goes on
- Fairly priced and nice variety of food and drink
- The main stage is open until 1/2 am, and dancehall tent stays open thereafter, the Saturday is the longest reggae festival day in Europe, something like 12am until 6pm!
The cons are its location, its not the easiest place to get to from the UK, you have 3 options, the travel might seem like a lot of effort - but once your there its more than worth it.
1) Drive - its 375 miles from Dover
2) Fly; either to Bremen (59 miles, and served by Ryan Air, etc from across the UK) or Münster/Osnabrück (21 miles, but less served, in fact I think only via a small propeller plane from London City Airport) to get to Bersenbruck you can get a taxi (most efficient and expensive option) or get the bus (15 mins) > Bremen station then train > Osnabrück 50 Min, Then train > Bersenbruck 30 Min, so about 2 hours of travel after landing.
3) Eurostar > Brussels (Belgium) 2 hours, train > Koln (Germany) 110 Mins, train to Osnabrück (Germany) 130 Min, Train to Bersenbruck (Germany) 30 Min - with change over's this takes about 10 hours
If your a happy camper there is plenty of room for camping, but it is a remote area so there aren't many hotels or B&B's, the majority are booked for the artists, there is a plus side to this though if you get into a hotel your likely to meet the artists at breakfast, as I did last year.
For those of you who cant make it, the entire festival is broadcast on Ragga Kings Internet Radio From 5pm Friday 2nd August.

NORTH STONINGTON — When Debra Denison went to a day care center to get her grandchildren Tuesday afternoon, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She had her daughter's permission to pick up 6-month-old Ashton and 2-year-old Alton.
But this time, police said, she had a gun, and she had written a suicide note.

Budget Kitchen Decor: Posters from M + E
If you've recently moved into a new apartment like we have, you might find yourself lacking the leftover funds for actually decorating your new digs (also like us!). Luckily, a friend pointed us to these whimsical food prints from M + E. They're affordable and would be quite stylish on a bare kitchen wall, don't you think?
The minds behind this series of meal-themed posters are designers Michael Fusco and Emma Straub. They've designed posters for such illustrious clients as the Magnetic Fields and Columbia Records, and its good to know that they appreciate a BLT as much as the rest of us!
The individual posters are all 12.5"x12.5" (except for the ice cream poster, which is 6.5"x12.5"), and are between $10-$12. If you want one of each, you can get a deal on the whole set for $35.
We think that's not a bad deal for some top-notch design!

Outlook Web Access (OWA) has come a long way since its debut in Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5. The Exchange 2000 version was the first production AJAX application, and subsequent versions have continued to add features and capability, many of which are unmatched by competing web mail systems.
The Exchange 2010 release—which, remember, changed the name to Outlook Web App—addressed one of the biggest complaints about OWA: the difference in functionality between different browsers. Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer are now co-equal, providing the same experience for users. However, there are a few other areas where OWA could use some improvement, including the ability for administrators to customize its look and behavior.
Of course, you can control which features users have access to in OWA. Both the Exchange Management Shell and the Exchange Management Console provide tools for restricting user access to calendaring, contacts, instant messaging integration, and other OWA features. (Take a look at the Help for the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet to see a full list of the things you can change.) These settings are useful, but they don't address some areas that I frequently see people asking for.
Probably the biggest request I hear is for branding, or the ability to "skin" OWA to reflect your organization's logo, color scheme, and other design elements. OWA 2007 let administrators define themes that users could select or that could be applied directly by the administrator. This feature made it easy to apply branding, although it was sometimes misused. OWA 2010 still has themes. More properly, it has a single theme that's stored in \\Client Access\OWA\version\themes. You can modify the graphic elements, colors, and so on in the theme, but you only get one, so users can't switch between themes, and it's difficult to test your changes before applying them. Also, any changes you make to the default theme will be overwritten when you deploy an Exchange rollup or service pack, so make sure you keep backups!
The second kind of customization that I often hear requested is the ability to embed pieces of OWA in other web applications. The canonical example is a company web portal, into which you want to embed a web part that shows the user's inbox. The story here is somewhat confusing. The TechNet documentation page "Introduction to Outlook Web App Customization" says that you can embed OWA 2010 components in other web pages . . . right before it says that you can't embed OWA 2010 components in other web pages. As far as I can determine, this capability is no longer supported, but if you've got it working, I'd love to learn otherwise.
What about customizing the logon page for OWA? This feature is another frequent request; unlike the first two, this one is easy to do. The Microsoft article "Customize the Outlook Web App Sign-In and Sign-Out Pages" has complete instructions, but basically you need to edit the logon.css file to change colors and styles, then replace the system-provided logos with your own choices. Microsoft doesn't support changing the logon page itself, although you can certainly edit it to control which security controls appear, whether the "Use the light version of Outlook Web App" checkbox is present, and so forth. Like changing the theme, though, the changes you make to the logon page will be overwritten when you apply rollups or service packs.
Customizing OWA gives you a fairly simple way to make your OWA environment reflect your organization's overall look and feel, so it's worth looking into if you want something more than the attractive, yet bland, default look. Give it a try. As for me, I'm off to wrap Christmas presents! My very best holiday wishes to you, along with my thanks for being an UPDATE subscriber.

Mark Steyn's latest column makes a point very similar to Peggy Noonan's in Friday's Wall Street Journal: opponents of the Iraq war, such as the editors of the New Republic, seem to have gotten their understanding of war from movies about Vietnam. It's a good point, but what I want to comment on is this observation by Mark Steyn, which was highlighted by Hugh Hewitt:
It's the same with all those guys driving around with "9/11 Was An Inside Job" bumper stickers. That aligns reality with every conspiracy movie from the past three decades: It's always the government who did it

I received a very exciting email from Danish designer Rene Gurskov, who wanted to share with me his latest collection.
After taking some time to look at the clothes the words that spring to mind are thoughtful streetwear. The influences are trend-led without being too obvious and are wearable so that I could imagine even my most un-fashiony friends wearing the pieces. Gurskov says he wants to give even a "small town boy a chance to look hard boiled" which is a great description.

From coast to coast, take in the extraordinary landscapes at the core of the northern USA
Experience America's diversity on a trip that has national park visits in the double figures and stops in beach cities, mountain cities, and skyscrapered metropolises. Journey through California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado, Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. Climb the Trail Ridge Road through the Rockies to Denver, and be wowed by the country's endless natural beauty in Yellowstone, at the Devils Tower, and in the rugged Badlands. Feel the local vibe of Chicago, ride coasters through the Midwest, and feel the spray of Niagara Falls. Waterfalls and wine tastings await in the incredible Fingers Lakes, then endless possibilities in New York. This is true American Beauty.
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and pine trees, Lake Tahoe is idyllic. Shake off the driving dust with a late afternoon dip in the alpine blue waters or relax on a sunset cruise.
Drive along the majestic Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in the States, and stare in awe at the sweeping views of Rocky Mountain National Park in all directions. Hike though outstanding landscapes and see elk, pikas, marmots, ptarmigans and bighorn sheep.
Spend an evening on the banks of the Mississippi, Huckleberry Finn style, and rent a canoe to paddle along the famous river
Spend two nights in Yellowstone and keep your eyes open for bison, bears and even rare grey wolves
Worship at the sublime altar to Mother Nature that is Niagara Falls, taking an optional wet and wild boat cruise
This is a participatory trip. That's a fancy way of saying you're not just along for the ride – you're part of a team! You know the phrase 'the more you put in, the more you get out'. Well that's extra true on this trip. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and help out with camp activities like food prep and washing up. It's all about giving your new travel mates a hand – everyone knows there's nothing worse than trying to put up a tent on your own!
That teamwork also extends to our optional food kitty of approximately US$10 per day, run to cover the cost of meals. This kitty saves you worrying about stuff like where to get food or what exactly sales tax is, and actually helps keep your costs down. Instead of paying individually as you go, it means we can bulk purchase items and cook our own food – though there's always the chance to use it for the occasional pizza night! The kitty is optional and for your convenience, so if you've got specific dietary requirements you can opt out and purchase (and cook) your own food.
The United States is a world of endless possibilities – that's why our Basix trips are designed so they fit together as (not quite endless) combinations. That means while you might just be starting your trip, some of your new travel mates may have been travelling together for a week or more (and so have some great tips for you). You can see how our trips fit together and all the different possible combinations at www.intrepidtravel.com/brochures. Simply click view/download on the North America brochure and look at the combo map on page 12.
Road tripping is the ultimate way to see the USA. So on this trip you'll be spending a fair amount of time in a van with other travellers, so conditions may feel a little cramped. This is all part of the adventure, however, and you might even make some lifetime friends.
Some of the places visited on this trip are at high altitude, which mean they can be cold, even in summer. Mountains in summer also mean mosquitoes, so repellent is recommended.
This trip visits places that are at high altitude, and as a result some people can suffer from altitude sickness, regardless of age or physical health. Please see the 'Health' section of the trip notes for more important information on this.
Traffic in and out of the larger cities can be hectic, especially during holiday periods. There may be delays, so be prepared to take part in car games to keep you entertained.
Many of the cities on this trip are best explored on foot. To get the most out of these, plus also the hikes within the national parks, it is best if you have a reasonable level of physical fitness and are able to walk moderate-to-long distances.
This trip only allows for limited time at some destinations, so you may have to move quickly, and may not be able to see everything on your to-do list
Some travellers have reported feeling unsafe in San Francisco due to the large number of homeless people. Unfortunately homelessness is a fact of life in San Francisco and the problem is widespread throughout the city. It is very likely that you will see homeless people on the street during your time in the city, and while it can appear intimidating, they are mostly harmless.

UH West Oahu employee receives 2013 President's AwardUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Dir of Communications, External Affairs and University Relations
UH West O'ahu Facilities Manager James "Kimo" Yamaguchi has been selected as the 2013 recipient of the President's Award for Excellence in Building and Grounds Maintenance. This award honors a UH employee who exhibits dedication and sustained superior performance in a maintenance, landscaping, custodial, shop or trucking position.
Yamaguchi played a central role in planning and preparing the UH West O'ahu campus for its transition from Pearl City to Kapolei. He met frequently with architects to discuss specific details of each building and he oversaw the installation of fixtures, equipment and furniture at the new campus. Yamaguchi also worked closely with the interim library director to set up the UHWO library building, and with very little staff.
Yamaguchi is commended for juggling a variety of duties and big projects, working long hours and on weekends, yet remaining focused, professional and determined.
Now that UHWO is open and running smoothly, Yamaguchi has turned his attention to maintaining and landscaping the new campus. His colleagues say his hard work, leadership and compassion for UHWO have resulted in a truly beautiful campus that inspires creativity, reflection, peace and a commitment to learning.
The President's Award for Excellence in Building and Grounds Maintenance will be presented to Kimo Yamaguchi at the monthly meeting of the Board of Regents on February 20, 2014 at UH Mānoa.

Last year Barcelona-based creative agency Honest & Smile took a Moleskine Reporter notebook and hacked it into the world's first analog app. Named the AbracadabrApp, it is a notebook that records two-sided videos and photos in one single shot. Their crowd-funding campaign was a sell-out success, and now those who were unable to get their hands on one the first time are finally given a second chance with their arrival on the Moleskine Store.
The notebook has been altered to accommodate a revolving mirror as well as a mount on the side compatible with the iPhone 4, 4S and 5. Three Handyfilters are also included, lending your shots a coloured tint without the aid of a photo app.
Available on the Moleskine Store.

The Lost Gate is the first book in a new fantasy series by Orson Scott Card. It is the story of Danny, an 11-year-old boy living on Earth among his family of gods. Unlike the rest of his family members, he displays no affinity for magical powers, so he is often tormented and cast out by the others living in their village. That is, until one day when Danny is climbing a tree and discovers that he indeed has a power: he is a gatemage, meaning he can create gates through space to anywhere he wants to go. This discovery puts Danny in great danger, as being a gatemage comes with the penalty of death due to the destruction and torment caused by the last gatemage, Loki. After being discovered, Danny must escape his family and go out into the "drekka world" (the real world for us mortals without magical powers) and learn not only how to survive alone, but how to use this new power.
Card is very skilled at worldbuilding. Though he does a lot of explaining so that the reader understands this urban fantasy world that he has constructed, it comes off as very easy to understand and interesting. I expected nothing less of Card, who created a detailed and fascinating new world in his famous novel Ender's Game, one of my personal favorites. I will say that the main character in this novel, Danny, often annoyed me and I didn't feel as connected to him as I did to Ender, but the story was captivating enough that it wasn't too hard to get through the especially irritating parts (like when Danny becomes friends with young criminal Eric and engages in some unlawful activities). If you're a big fan of fantasy and enjoy imagining new magical worlds, I recommend giving this book a try.

I've also heard of places so terribly infested with rats that they use 55 gallon drums and do basically the same thing.
I do have to wonder about somehow not letting that meat go to waste. I would prefer that a cat or dog eat the mouse. Or maybe somehow give the mouse to the chickens or the pigs.
"One cannot help an involuntary process. The point is not to disturb it. - Dr. Michel Odent
I wonder if some of the things you are worried about can be mitigated. Like feeding the rat to a non-mammal: fowl or fish.

It turned out to be amazingly effective.

I just put some peanut butter in the bottom of a bucket and laid a 2x4 as a ramp up to the edge of the bucket.
I have since tried it four more times. The first three caught nothing and yesterday I caught one little mouse.
Here is the interesting thing: that mouse would try to jump out of the bucket and he ALMOST made it!
That makes me wonder about the previous three attmempts. Maybe they worked, but the mouse just jumped out later.
So maybe I need a deeper bucket, or to put water in the bucket.
Has anyone used the hide of a mouse? I know it is obnoxious, but I killed a mouse with a 2x4 last night, and I feel like I should use some part of Stewart Little. I know it is small, but it might make a nice little medicine pouch or pocket knife sheath.

Leah, you're funny! I would like to be there!
Of course, Steve, you could take it into a taxidermist and get a quote on preserving the 'hide'. That should be good for a laugh, if nothing else.
I found a dead hummingbird the morning of a hard freeze. I showed it to my friend and wondered how much a taxidermist would charge to stuff it. She said, "He'll probably want to know if you're bringing your own cotton ball".

my little girl came running into the room "momma, momma, I found something AMAZING! come see". it was the mouse (being traumatized by the cat). its fun to see things through her eyes. she wanted me to take a pic of her holding it so that ( in her words) she could send it to her aunt and "freak her out". Thats my girl.

I was working in San Jose and my mother would send me 'Care' package. She was working in an upper-crust department store in Las Vegas, and they gave their employees fantastic bargains, so she would collect stuff and send it to me at work.
The two female owners would bring it in and hang over the box to see what I got. I had told Mom that I was telling them about the flying cockroaches in Vegas (palmetto bugs), and they thought I was kidding. So she found one, dead and dessicated in an empty pot, put it in a small white jewelry-type box with cotton, and sent it in one of my packages. The lid just said 'for your friends'. I lifted the lid and they both leaped back about 10 feet!
steve - squirrels drown in stock tanks regularly. when water is scarce because of heat or cold they try to get a out of reach drink, fall in and can't get out. When I used my tall rubbermaid stock tank for the horses I started leaving a large branch propped in the water to give the squirrels a ladder out.

When introduced to them, I remember thinking..."Palmetto Bug" what a lovely name for a FLYING COCKROACH! Someone even had the nerve to say to me, they're not cockroaches, they're Palmetto Bugs. YEESH!

Ahhh, yes the "Palmetto Bug". I remember my 1st encounter with those. I was in Florida. They should be the Florida state bug! The place is flying & crawling with them!

State bug or bird? And when you see one as you walk to the fridge late at night, don't try to smash them by dropping something on them because you will more than likely be giving them the weapon.
I'm just happy they usually prefer to stay outdoors. Chickens really love to eat them!!!
As to those mousetrap ideas, I'm about to go try them as I'm having a bit of a rat problem around the property this year. And the thing with the squirrels I might try that too as they have taken to eating all the leaves off my sweet potato plants again!!! Does anyone know of a good squirrel, rat, bunny deterrent that is safe to use on food crops? I don't mind sharing a little with the critters but I get irritated when they won't share with me
A good mouser cat!
The one cat seems quite happy to chase squirrels but I don't think he will catch them and it doesn't seem to deter the rodents much.
The other cat seems more interested in the chickens.
"One cannot help an involuntary process. The point is not to disturb it. - Dr. Michel Odent
(We have 5 cats. 3 were strays, 2 of which were borderline feral. The other 2 are my mother's inbred, siamese freaks. If they didn't live here, they'd would probably have been dumped by somebody who decided they didn't like them. They...have...problems! )
Over the years, I've found homes for many hungry, skinny, young stray cats that were the spawn of cats that had been dumped likely because people think things like: oh, don't worry about it...it's a cat...it can take care of itself. Well, it ain't necessarily so! Especially if you are talking about cats that have been someone's pet for years...even only a couple of years.
If we are talking about kittens that have never been handled by humans and were allowed to "go feral", well...maybe. But who really wants feral cats roaming around their property that can't be handled because they instinctively hunt and also avoid humans? Even our most misbehaved cat (who really dislikes it when we have visitors. So much so that I put him in another room!) lets me clip his nails & respects my dominance in this house.
I've worked for, boarded at & visited many riding stables over the past 32 years. I think I've heard every theory about creating "good mousers" that there is. The worst one is "on't feed them anything...and they'll catch mice!" I can't tell you how many sickly, weakened, skinny, starving barn cats I've seen that chose to eat pelleted horse feed right outta the sack rather than hunt mice that had just jumped outta that sack! Even to this day, when someone brings their "house cat" out to the barn because their kid has allergies or the cat stopped using the catbox, I just cringe. The cat doesn't adapt. It hides, freaks out & ends up getting injured or killed.
Once a rat or mouse problem has developed in a barn, there are TOO MANY of them for a cat or even a few cats to kill. I've been in barns that were overrun by cats (because the cat's weren't spayed or neutered) and there was still a mouse problem! So now there's too many cats and too many mice.
On the other hand, "Heather", one of the best mousers I've ever known (she mostly hunted, killed but didn't usually eat them) was a spayed, well fed, healthy, friendly barn cat who had yearly trips to the vet. Aging has a lot to do with mousing skills too. Domesticated cats don't hunt as well once they've started aging. Even that good little mouser I knew started hunting less & sleeping more as she aged.
IMO, just like domesticated farm animals that have had much of their wild tendencies bred out of them over the years to make suitable animals for specific needs, the same thing has happened to cats. Take the flat faced, Persian breed of cat, for instance. If ever was there a breed of cat that wasn't much of a hunter, that would be it. They are lazy lap cats. Usually pretty mellow.
So, I'm begging anyone that reads this...please don't dump your aging house cat who has (lived indoors for practically all of it's life) outdoors & expect it to go feral & start mousing. I don't think it's going to happen!
It's funny, but the best mousers I've ever seen weren't even cats. They were Jack Russell Terriers. And they'd eat the mice too! Crunch, crunch, crunch!
I have cats and I like them but the idea here isn't to have nice pet cats its a mouser. a hunter. a wild cat given just enough care that it sticks around. equate them with creating habitat for birds of prey in cities to control pigeons. there are definitly plenty of breeds of cat that have had the mouser bred out of them and couldn't survive in the wild and I am certainly not talking about dumping a persian in a corn feild that would be silly. but with the feral cat population you have to admit there is no doubt that the the basic short hair mutts go feral easily (too easily)....as a population.... not neccesarily as an individual..... any one individual is subject to the same mortality rate as a wild animal and in the first feral generations propably even a higher mortality rate, it is to be expected. so it doesn't seem abnormal at all to expect that a cat put out to be a mouser (especially an old house pet) would dissapear or seek out human care. but many many of them in terms of wild animals, can survive with little care if adapted when young. their life spans will reflect that they are wild and yes just like any wild animal the weak will die and the rest will survive. and just like any wild animal they won't likly be fat and healthy all the time. depends on whether your goal is to raise nice healthy pets to keep your mind at ease or have a few mousers around. to be clear, I am not advocating dumping a long time house pet or special breed in a barn to be a mouser ! just pointing out that all the feral cats out there are descendants of pets and a large percentage of them are able to survive long enough to reproduce (unfortunatley) it is one of those things that isn't tasteful because cats are considered pets by most people. we would't bat an eye to find out about a 50% or more mortality rate in a wild animal. but we think its horrible when speaking of animals that are traditionally kept as pets. if you view wild cats for what they are...wild animals....its not so hard.
the barns I have seen overrun with cats are not sickly because of extreme starvation. they mostly are sickly because of a unnaturally tight population due to them being fed jsut enough ( I know you know how little cat food it takes to keep many cats in excellent condition) and not dying or moving on and therefore the passage of parasites and disease are sped along and although the owner keeps shucking out bucks for cheap cat food they can't or won't shuck out the bucks for sterilization and the healthcare that is needed in such a high population that is protected from predators. the same things happen when people feed deer, raccon and bear other wild animals. disease are spread and populations are allowed to reach abnormal levels.
having had quite a few internet conversations with people who have land it is often found (to newbies) that "cats are always dumped here". in reality I think that most of the cats were always there. its just that now somebody moved in with a soft heart who feeds them. and the cats are perfectly willing to trade their life of fighting it out with nature for a bowl of cat food just like raccoons in pet doors, deer in gardens, and bears in dumpsters.
our new place has cats. the dogs have run off the ones near the house. but I spy them with my binoculars out in the feilds daily. most look kinda mangy and thin and young. defintily no old cats out there. but when I see them....they are hunting. just a few days ago on the way to the feed store there was a cat trotting down the road. when I got close I could see it had a big rat. I think feeding wild animals including cats is a big responsibilty and care must be taken to not take it too far. sometimes that means taking your heart off your sleeve and stuffing it in your pocket and letting nature take its course. and if you specifically want to introduce cats to help control the rodent population there is not much point in feeding them much. probably would be alot more effective to worm the regularly and of please please please sterilize them.
a great tip I saw from the '30 cats dumped over the years' was feeding barn cats dog food. they don't like it. but will eat it if they really need it. sounds a bit like a cat in the feed bag but a little more appropriate food available.
my chickens free range chickens just get a bit of food here and there. if I kept a feeder out for them. they won't go more than 50' feet from it. as it is. they dissapear during the day finding things to eat (hopefully some ticks). I think a cat whose purpose is to be a mouser should be treated similiarly.
the older I get the 'meaner' I get. and the more willing I am to accept death and suffering as part of life for many animals.
"One cannot help an involuntary process. The point is not to disturb it. - Dr. Michel Odent
I didn't mean to insinuate that I thought you would advocate dumping a persian cat, but other people do it all the time. Their rationale might be hey, I read this post on the web, says cats can fend for itself. Let's take it out to a corn field & dump it. I was just thinking about the bigger picture and what other people might interpret. Sorry if it seemed directed at you.
I guess I have aged past the point of "meaness" as you put it, or maybe I've just given up?
You know my dh is a big time "heart on your sleeve" sort of person. Especially when it comes to animals. To some extent it has rubbed off on me over the years. I could kill for food though, if I had to. I don't know how hungry he'd have to get to do that. I'd probably have to be the hunter and he'd be the gatherer!
outdoor cats probably aren't the best solution to rodents in most situations either way. but if people are trying to use them for that purpose they should keep in mind that they aren't pets. I'm not talking about using miss puss sitting there on the couch....i'm talking about using a tomcat that was neutered with a pocket knife ! but if miss puss from the shelter was not sterilized and was released outside she would very likely produce one of those tomcats within a few litters. spay and neuter your pets!!! did I say that already
"One cannot help an involuntary process. The point is not to disturb it. - Dr. Michel Odent
Ever since the advent of email, blogging & posting in forums, I just never know how someone is going to interpret what they read or what I write. Sometimes, I misinterpret what is written. I am probably overly careful about my wording, but I guess that got started when I began writing blogs for someone else. When I post on here, I'll type the post, reread it a few times, change the wording, and finally post it. Then the next day I'll go back & if I don't like it, I'll change something else. I know, I over think things. I just feel like I'm out there for all the world to see...er...read!
I guess the real issue is people will take something out of context to justify or rationalize what they are doing and it's a little frustrating.
And yes, you mentioned spaying & neutering in both your posts! Rabbits may breed like rabbits, but cats sure run a close 2nd in that dept!
little Tulip came from one of those soon to be cat infested places. they moved to the property with their many horses in november. they now have 3 unspayed females and several tomcats and two litters of kittens. a bowl of cheap cat food is out all the time. hard to bite my tongue. it is my new source for horse manure.
little Tulip will not be expected to catch any mice. Although from my experience any mice in the house are just too much fun to resist for youngish kitties. She will be living in the lap of feline luxury....mostly our laps.... that is already all she wants to do. its like having a tiny engine on your lap....pppuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. this is my first ever kitten! my two other cats were young but already adults when I got them.

I wish my indoor/outdoor kitty would hunt the dang gophers we have, but noooo, she has to go after the leopard frogs! And sometimes birds. Fortunately most of the birds weren't songbirds. She got a couple of mice (outdoors, haven't ever had them indoors) last fall. I with she would stick to fur bearing critters, but for whatever reasons, those frogs were her big thing last summer.

Speaking of frogs, I am seriously wondering how big the bullfrogs I have will get since they seem to have no predators around here. I saw one last nite, he's a big boy!
Can't you pop over to a pet shop and pick up a garter snake or two?
not sure it would be a great thing to take captive bred snakes and release them into the wild. garter snakes aren't big enough to take care of moles and voles anyway except maybe when they are at full maturity. and as gwen pointed out.....how do you keep them in?.......and then how do you keep your neigbors from killing them with a shovel when they get out? most likely the area is supporting as many snakes as it can considering the conditions in a neighborhood. it takes more than food unfortunately. they have to be able to survive mowers, pavement, pesticides and herbicides that everyone uses on their lawns and gardens plus predation by domestic cats as well as wild animals that make themselves at home in urban areas such as coons and possums. that settles gwen. you just need to move

If I ever find a gopher (live or dead) I'll post a picture of it. When I had that Ball Python over here, he was about 4' long. He was fed small rats or big mice (which weren't very big).

In his current work with a project staring the Zend Framework, Nick Halstead has figured out a way to create a tag cloud that can be loaded quickly with the help of the Zend_Cache component.
Zend_Cache is a caching mechanism that either lets you cache chunks of output or chunks of data. Both concepts are easy to implement within your code and given time they become second nature to use. And because they are simple to implement you find yourself using them anywhere and everywhere.
In his example, he grabs treed category data and dumps it (formatted) into a Zend_Cache object. He also mentions what he calls a "touch of genius on the part of the Zend Framework team" - the ability to tag the cache and make it easy to reference.
Finally, it's back out to the front end, an interface to the cached object that pushes the data back out as a series of formatted links pointing to content associated with the chosen tag.

Timeforcake: How to open a new tab in a specific spot
September 23, 2012
I love being able to have a large number of tabs open in my browser all at once. I love being able to quickly flick through all the various pages I have open within a couple of seconds. I'm not sure how I survived prior to browser support of multiple tabs.On occasion I have tabs opened in a specific order, and I'll find that I need to open a new tab in a specific position-say for example, in the fourth spot out of nine tabs I already have open.Luckily, opening up a new link in a specific location in your tab bar is very easy. All you need to do is click and hold the link you wish to open and draaaaaag it up into your desired position amongst your already open tabs. A small arrow will show up indicating where the new tab will open once you release your mouse.Important note: This tip works splendidly in Chrome and Firefox. Unfortunately, I've never been able to make it work in IE or Safari.

Analysis of the Space-time Correlation between Seismic Activity and Exit-fluid Temperature at the TAG Hydrothermal Mound
DOEI Funded Research: 2008
AbstractWithin the past decade it has become apparent that earthquakes play an important role in hydrothermal processes. We have known that faults may serve as high-permeability conduits for sub-surface fluid flow since deep-sea vent fields were first discovered, but the specific ability of earthquakes to perturb or modulate sub-surface flow fields in time and space has only recently become apparent. Hydrologic records from volcanically-hosted vent fields on the East Pacific Rise (EPR) and the Juan de Fuca Ridge (JdFR) have been shown to exhibit perturbations in the immediate aftermath of seismicity episodes, and these observations have stimulated a great deal of research. First and foremost we need to understand the causality underlying these observations, and then it may be possible to use parameters such as the time lag between seismicity and the ensuing flow perturbations to deduce sub-surface flow parameters, such as velocities and permeabilities. Naturally occurring earthquakes thus provide a perturbation mechanism that may be used to constrain hard-to-measure sub-surface flow parameters that have eluded hydrothermal researchers for decades.
A concerted effort has recently
been made within the international mid-ocean ridge (MOR) hydrothermal research
community to conduct coordinated time-series experiments where exit-fluid
properties are measured contemporaneously with ground motions from ocean bottom
seismometer networks. These studies have
been conducted in a variety of settings along the global MOR system, providing
the data needed to carefully assess the relationship between seismicity and
fluid flow at MOR deep-sea vent fields.
These datasets have proven to be surprisingly challenging to interpret. Mid-ocean ridges are high-seismicity-rate
environments, and hydrothermal fields may experience hundreds, or even
thousands, of small earthquakes each day.
At the same time, hydrothermal fluids discharge from large areas of the
seafloor with continuously variable properties that are modulated by a host of
factors, including tides and bottom currents that have nothing to do with
earthquakes. Upon closer inspection, it
has become apparent that the problem of assigning causality between earthquakes
and exit-fluid properties is a challenging statistical problem that must be
solved before we can exploit the phenomenology to provide new constraints on
sub-surface hydrothermal fluid flow.
We propose to address this fundamental problem in hydrothermal research by developing, fitting, and testing new statistical models to identify and quantify relationships between high-rate seismicity catalogues and complex hydrologic records obtained at MORs using the unique dataset acquired during the "Seismicity, structure, and fluid flow of TAG" (STAG) experiment conducted by WHOI scientists Reves-Sohn, Humphris, and Canales. Exit-fluid temperature were continuously measured every 8-10 minutes at 21 sites on the active TAG mound from June, 2003 – November, 2004, and a complete seismicity catalog for all earthquakes with local magnitudes greater than -2 was acquired during approximately the same time period was acquired with a local network of 13 ocean bottom seismometers (more than 50,000 events). The methods we develop will not only help unravel the complex sub-surface flow system at TAG, but will also be flexible enough to be applied at any hydrothermal site for which simultaneous earthquake and fluid flow data are available.

Unidentified flying object
unusual apparent anomaly in the sky that is not readily identifiable(Redirected from Unidentified flying objects)
Unidentified flying object (commonly abbreviated as UFO or U.F.O.) is the popular term for any aerial phenomenon whose cause cannot be easily or immediately identified. Both military and civilian research show that a significant majority of UFO sightings have been identified after further investigation, either explicitly or indirectly through the presence of clear and simple explanatory factors.
- Some years ago I had a conversation with a layman about flying saucers — because I am scientific I know all about flying saucers! I said "I don't think there are flying saucers'. So my antagonist said, "Is it impossible that there are flying saucers? Can you prove that it's impossible?" "No", I said, "I can't prove it's impossible. It's just very unlikely". At that he said, "You are very unscientific. If you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" But that is the way that is scientific. It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible. To define what I mean, I might have said to him, "Listen, I mean that from my knowledge of the world that I see around me, I think that it is much more likely that the reports of flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence than of the unknown rational efforts of extra-terrestrial intelligence." It is just more likely. That is all.
- Richard Feynman in The Character of Physical Law (1964)
- Anyway, I have to argue about flying saucers on the beach with people, you know. And I was interested in this: they keep arguing that it is possible. And that's true. It is possible. They do not appreciate that the problem is not to demonstrate whether it's possible or not but whether it's going on or not.
- Richard Feynman in The Meaning of It All : Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist (1998)
- It is important to state here -- though evidence will be considered in detail later on -- that all three women have either had "dreams" or normal recollections of having been shown, at later times, tiny offspring whose appearance suggests they are something other than completely human . . . that they are in fact hybrids, partly human and partly what we must call, for want of a better term, alien. It is unthinkable and unbelievable -- yet the evidence points in that direction. An ongoing and systematic breeding experiment must be considered one of the central purposes of UFO abductions.
- Budd Hopkins in Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods, p. 130
- In this unexpected scenario, the UFO occupants -- despite their obvious technological superiority -- are desperate for both human genetic material and the ability to feel human emotions -- particularly maternal emotions. Unlikely though it may seem, it is possible that the very survival of these extraterrestrials depends upon their success in absorbing chemical and psychological properties received from human abductees.
- Budd Hopkins in Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods, p. 190
- Recently, the press has been filled with reports of sightings of flying saucers. While we need not give credence to these stories, they allow our imagination to speculate on how visitors from outer space would judge us. I am afraid they would be stupefied at our conduct. They would observe that for death planning we spend billions to create engines and strategies for war. They would also observe that we spend millions to prevent death by disease and other causes. Finally they would observe that we spend paltry sums for population planning, even though its spontaneous growth is an urgent threat to life on our planet. Our visitors from outer space could be forgiven if they reported home that our planet is inhabited by a race of insane men whose future is bleak and uncertain.
- "Abductees," Eva said, "are souls that have, for their individual purposes and reasons, chosen the probability of physical form." But through their experiences they are "regaining their memory of source . . . The process of abduction is one form of such, of regaining memory." The abduction "experience itself," Eva said, "is a mechanism to remove" the "structures that impede the reconnection with source," and to purify the physical vehicle in such a way to serve to regain better memory and to bring knowledge to others."
- John E. Mack in Abduction: Human Encounters With Aliens , p 258-259
- Do you know how many times we've come close to world war three over a flock of geese on a computer screen?
- The Joker, Batman The Killing Joke, written by Alan Moore
- Hypnotism will become more and more a tool of scientific investigation. Telepathy will be proven without a doubt, and utilized, sadly enough in the beginning, for purposes of war and intrigue. Nevertheless telepathy will enable your race to make its first contact with alien intelligence.
- Jane Roberts, in The Early Sessions: Book 2, Session 45, Page 21
- When science progresses on various planes, then such visitations become less accidental and more planned. However, since the inhabitants of each plane are bound by the particular materialized patterns of their 'home,' they bring this pattern of camouflaged vitality with them. Certain kinds of science cannot operate without it. When the inhabitants of a plane have learned mental science patterns, then they are to a great degree freed from the more regular camouflage patterns . . . the flying saucer appearances come from a system much more advanced in technological sciences than yours. However, this is still not a mental science plane. Therefore, the camouflage paraphernalia appears, more or less visible, to your astonishment. So strong is this tendency for vitality to change from one apparent form to another, that what you have here in your flying saucers is something that is actually not of your plane nor of the plane of its origins. What happens is this: When the 'flying saucer' starts out toward its destination, the atoms and molecules that compose it (and which are themselves formed by vitality) are more or less aligned according to the pattern inflicted upon it by its own territory. As it enters your plane, a distortion occurs. The actual structure of the craft is caught in a dilemma of form. It is caught between transforming itself completely into earth's particular camouflage pattern, and retaining its original pattern.
- Jane Roberts, in Seth, Dreams & Projections of Consciousness, p. 101-102
- What struck me more than the book's UFO stories, however, was the common thread weaving among them of breathtaking alterations in consciousness associated with the experiences -- sensations of leaving the body, of flying through the air or being "carried along by the wind," and receiving "startling and novel insights into the nature of reality" that reverberated thereafter with profound, life-changing effects.
- Susan M. Watkins, in Speaking of Jane Roberts, p. 2 (2001)
- (Gardner) writes about various kinds of cranks with the conscious superiority of the scientist, and in most cases one can share his sense of the victory of reason. But after half a dozen chapters this non-stop superiority begins to irritate; you begin to wonder about the standards that make him so certain he is always right. He asserts that the scientist, unlike the crank, does his best to remain open-minded. So how can he be so sure that no sane person has ever seen a flying saucer, or used a dowsing rod to locate water? And that all the people he disagrees with are unbalanced fanatics? A colleague of the positivist philosopher A. J. Ayer once remarked wryly "I wish I was as certain of anything as he seems to be about everything". Martin Gardner produces the same feeling.
- Colin Wilson in The Quest For Wilhelm Reich , pp. 2-3
- These left me in no doubt that something was trying to communicate with us, but that direct communication would be counterproductive. It seemed to be an important part of the scheme to create a sense of mystery.
- Colin Wilson in Alien Dawn, p. 352 (1998)

This is a project we had fun testing with Kiwi Crate, a new hands-on kit of monthly projects that launches soon. Follow their fun blog for more.
We've been having the best time shooting air rockets out of milkshake/boba tea straws (found in our supermarket) The baby enjoyed seeing the rockets fly overhead while chasing them around the room, while my three year old challenged herself to shoot these far and wide.
- Milkshake straws
- Copy, Printer, or other light weight paper
- Transparent Tape
You'll want to roll the paper into a tube that will cover most of the straw. Cut a piece of paper large enough to roll around a straw, leaving a 1″-2″ tab that can be taped closed over the other side of paper. Cut another small piece of paper and attach it to the end of the paper tube. Seal it shut. See photos for more direction.
Place the paper tube on top of the straw, move into a wide open space, and blow. What you don't see here is my one-year old laughing hysterically each time a paper tube shot over her head.This was the third day we played with these over a three week period, and it still caught my kids' attention. If you decide to try this and it doesn't work, the worst thing that could happen is that you'll be stuck with some milkshake straws that may need to be put to work in a more traditional way! Mmmmm.
Have you ever tried to make a paper rocket? What do you think?
More rockets
- This one from NASA is replete with fins. Still easy, but a bit more involved.
- Also more involved. This Ulitimate Straw Rocket is from Instructables.
- These detailed instructions from RAFT for Paper Rockets include the science behind the project.

Talking to a few of the Bournemouth Kawasaki Racing mechanics this afternoon in the Isle of Man TT paddock, unfortunately it looks like the the team's electric entry, the Kawasaki-Zytek ZX10ev, is going to be a scratch for the 2012 SES TT Zero race.
When asked why the Kawasaki-Zytek entry would not be racing, the team cited the bike not being ready for the 2012 Isle of Man TT, intoning that the Kawasaki-Zytek ZX10ev's first laps ever would be on the Isle itself. Considering that the Kawasaki electric racing effort has been in the works for over a year now, the news is a bit surprising that it hasn't been as extensively tested as its
Honda Mugen counterpart.

Since the job forums have been pretty inactive for awhile, I thought I'd start a new topic in each devoted to things you'd like or wish that Square Enix would do with each job. They can be legitimate things you'd like to see, or they could be absurd, and, while they can be, they don't have to be any serious or groundbreaking changes you think each job needs, just something you think would improve them a bit in some form. Just try to keep the topic clean and drama free (emphasis on try). Just have some fun with this and let your ideas soar.
More Avatars...'nuff said. In all seriousness though I'd like to see a counter-stance to Avatar's Favor, where the Avatar's perpetuation cost increases, but the Avatar's attack, accuracy, magic attack, magic accuracy, and attack speed increase considerably. Currently one of the big problems that Summoner have is that our damage output is terrible, so when we're not doing stuff with Perfect Defense, our avatars are just not that useful. So I can do 2k damage to a high level mob with Thunderstorm. Given that all the melees there are capable of doing that much more within the same time frame just during their TP phase, it really makes our numbers irrelevant.

Jan 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the use of Roche's Avastin for patients whose colorectal cancer has worsened despite previous treatment with the drug.
The new use will allow patients first treated with Avastin plus chemotherapy to be treated again with the biotechnology drug in combination with a different chemotherapy regimen.
A pivotal clinical trial showed that such a treatment strategy improved survival.
"The majority of people diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer receive Avastin plus chemotherapy as their initial treatment," Hal Barron, chief medical officer at Roche's Genentech unit, said in a statement. "These people now have the option to continue with Avastin plus a new chemotherapy after their cancer worsens, which may help them live longer than changing to the new chemotherapy alone."
Avastin, also known as bevacizumab, is an antibody that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, a protein tumors need to grow nutrient-providing blood vessels.
The drug is approved in the United States for treating glioblastoma, a brain tumor, and colorectal, lung and kidney cancers.
Worldwide Avastin sales totaled $5.3 billion Swiss francs ($5.5 billion) in 2011.
