DynaMed database, a clinical reference tool for physicians, and Nursing Reference Center, a rich resource for nursing professionals, can now be accessed by all Penn Staters with an access id thanks to the University Libraries' collaborative purchases with the Harrell Library at Hershey. The databases can be accessed at http://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/databases.html and selecting each by name.
Both databases offer evidence-based resources for use at the point-of-care. DynaMed is a tool created by physicians for physicians and other health care professionals. With clinically organized summaries for more than 3,200 topics, it provides the latest content and resources with validity, relevance and convenience, making it an indispensable resource for answering most clinical questions during practice.
Updated daily, DynaMed editors monitor the content of more than 500 medical journals on a daily basis. Each article is evaluated for clinical relevance and scientific validity. The new evidence is then integrated with existing content and overall conclusions are changed as appropriate to create a synthesis of the best available evidence.
Nursing Reference Center also offers point-of-care material, quick access to nursing literature and patient education handouts, and practice and skill documents to improve nursing skills. Plus it includes a module exam for obtaining continuing education units.

A youth worker driving a minibus caused a cyclist's death in Southampton after his wing mirror knocked him off his bike on a busy commuter road, a court has heard.
Steven Petterson, 38, of Waterhouse Lane, denies causing the death of 48-year-old David Irving by driving without due care and attention.
Rufus Taylor, prosecuting, told Southampton Crown Court how Mr Irving, an IT consultant, had left his home in Wimborne, Dorset, on the morning of December 17, 2012 by car, which he parked in the outskirts of Southampton, and continued his journey to work in the city centre on his Giant bike.
Mr Taylor said that the accident happened despite Mr Irving wearing an orange high visibility jacket, an anklet with LED lights and lights on his bicycle.
It was as he was cycling along the three-lane Mountbatten Way that he was knocked from his bike causing him extensive injuries to his head and body. His cycle helmet was ''smashed to bits'', the prosecutor added.
Mr Taylor said that a lifeboatman and a fireman, both trained medics, were amongst the first on the scene and tried to help him.
He said: ''It was apparent to these two experienced medics he had suffered a serious head injury and he was going downhill quickly.''
Mr Irving died shortly afterwards, Mr Taylor said.
He added that a post mortem showed that Mr Irving suffered a head injury which was consistent with being hit by a wing mirror and he also suffered injuries to his body, including 38 fractures to his ribs, which were caused by him being run over.
Mr Taylor explained that Mr Petterson stopped the Ford Transit minibus after he heard a bang and believed he had hit a bus signpost.
It was only when he found out that there had been a serious accident that he called the police and told them that he believed he might have been involved, Mr Taylor said.
He was arrested and told police: ''I was driving slowly because there was a lot of traffic.
''There was a bang and my wing mirror slammed against the van. I didn't see what caused the impact.
''I checked the remaining mirror and couldn't see anything in the carriageway behind me. I didn't see anything to explain it, I thought I must have hit a bus stop, I drove on and began to think it couldn't have been a bus stop in the middle of the busy carriageway.''
He added that visibility was reduced that morning by the low sun.
He told police: ''The sun was very bright and low in the sky, it was right in my face and all the traffic was driving right into the sun. I could see the road but it was reduced by the glare.
''I believe I was driving carefully but the sun was making it poor visibility.''
He added: ''I am horrified that my vehicle may have hit this person and he has lost his life.''
Mr Taylor said that the driver of a Mercedes car also contacted police after the incident as he believed he might have hit Mr Irving.
The trial continues.

Thompson Elementary School students whispered back and forth to each other during Wednesday morning's assembly, excited that they would get to be something most children their age are not — published authors.
Thompson Elementary School students whispered back and forth to each other during Wednesday morning's assembly, excited that they would get to be something most children their age are not — published authors.
Sarrell Dental Center teamed up with the Atlanta chapter of the NFL Alumni Association to bring the Legends and Kids Young Authors Program to Thompson. The program, which already has been in schools in Bessemer, Anniston and Dadeville, allows students to write and illustrate their own book.
Third-, fourth- and fifth-graders will participate in creating the book and will each have assigned tasks. Third-graders will build the characters and their background, while fourth-graders will build the tension and rising action, which will culminate in the story's climax. Fifth-graders will wrap it up and bring the story all together.
Sarrell Dental is an Anniston-based nonprofit organization that helps provide dental hygiene education for students across Alabama and low-cost care for the state's residents. Community Outreach Manager Summer Quinn said Sarrell is the only nonprofit in the state that works with the NFL Alumni Association, and the two organizations have been partners since 2006.
The books will be available on Amazon as well as in the Gadsden Public Library and Thompson's library. The story will involve Dr. Marlow, a monkey dentist with Sarrell, and will have an uplifting message about his adventures throughout Alabama and the United States. Characters will be based on familiar Alabama symbols like the Black Bear and Yellowhammer.
Dr. Joe Profit, a former first-round draft choice for the Atlanta Falcons, spoke to the children Wednesday and got them excited about making the book. Profit said he hopes to get the children thinking the right way through their involvement in the book, because if they think right, they will act right.
"We want to emphasize thinking," said Profit, who spent two seasons and part of a third with the Falcons, part of a season with the New Orleans Saints and two seasons with Birmingham's entry in the World Football League.
"They may not master the King's English, but there is somewhere for them to succeed within the broad world of academics," he said.
Profit said Thompson was chosen because it is a more rural school that may not have access to some of the resources enjoyed by schools in larger cities. He said he wants to bring hope to schools like Thompson because he remembers growing up in a school just like it.
Profit was born in Lake Providence, La., and his father was a sharecropper. His family moved to Monroe, La., when he was 6, but he had to go back to the cotton fields to work with his father. He said he worked as hard as he could so his father could, hopefully, get out of there.
His father gave him powerful words of encouragement — told him not to worry about what others said about his capabilities, because he was just as good as any of them. His father also instilled that he wasn't any better than anyone else, either, and it is that grounded, diligent message that Profit wants so badly to share with children.
In addition to spreading a love of reading and academics, Profit hopes to instill an entrepreneurial spirit in the students. The books will be available online and for viewing at libraries, but the students also will be able to sell them to their neighbors.
The project will culminate in a book signing by all of the students.
Quinn said the book signing and students selling their own handiwork, complete with pictures of all the contributors, does more than just excite the children.
"It excites the parents, the grandparents and the larger community," she said. "Our main goal is to educate children."

Nazi war suspect dies in Philadelphia as extradition approved, lawyer says
PHILADELPHIA -- An elderly Philadelphia man accused of Nazi war crimes and ordered to stand trial in Germany has died, his lawyer said.
Attorney Dennis Boyle told CBS Philadelphia that Johann Breyer died Tuesday night at a Philadelphia hospital, attorney Dennis Boyle said Wednesday, the same day that U.S. Magistrate Timothy Rice approved the extradition request. The ruling would still have been subject to a final U.S. government review.
Breyer, 89, was hospitalized Saturday. His lawyer said his health had deteriorated but he didn't know the cause of death.
The U.S. attorney's office said it didn't have any information yet on Breyer's status.
Rice had found probable cause that "Breyer, the individual before this court, is the same person sought for aiding and abetting murder in Germany."
"No statute of limitations offers a safe haven for murder," he wrote.
Breyer, a retired tool-and-die maker, was being held on allegations stemming from his suspected service as an SS guard at Auschwitz during World War II.
U.S. marshals arrested him in June outside his home in northeast Philadelphia. He was facing charges of aiding in the killing of 216,000 Jewish men, women and children at a Nazi death camp.
Breyer claimed he was unaware of the massive slaughter at Auschwitz and then that he did not participate in it, but "the German allegations belie his claims," the judge wrote.
"Given Breyer's role as an elite S.S. armed guard at a camp designed and operated almost exclusively as a killing center for Jews, Germany has established probable cause of Breyer's complicity in the mass murders at Auschwitz."
German authorities in the Bavarian town of Weiden issued a warrant for Breyer's arrest in June 2013. The warrant accuses Breyer of 158 counts of accessory to murder - one count for each trainload of victims brought to the Auschwitz death camp in occupied Poland from May to October 1944, when Breyer was allegedly a guard there.
Breyer told The Associated Press in a 2012 interview that while he was a guard at Auschwitz, he was assigned to a part of the camp that was not involved in the slaughter of Jews and others.
"I didn't kill anybody, I didn't rape anybody - and I don't even have a traffic ticket here," he told the AP. "I didn't do anything wrong."
Breyer moved to Philadelphia after World War II and for decades has lived a quiet, middle-class life. He has American citizenship because his mother was born in the U.S.; she later moved to Europe, where Breyer was born.
In 1992, the U.S. government tried to revoke Breyer's citizenship after discovering his wartime background. The effort became a years-long legal saga and appeared to end with a 2003 decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which found Breyer had joined the SS as a minor and could therefore not be held legally responsible for participation in it.
Then he was arrested last month outside his home in northeast Philadelphia based on the 2013 German warrant. Officials say the arrest was delayed for a year because of the complexity of the extradition request.
His lawyers argued that Breyer should be released on bail pending the extradition hearing because of his frail health. They said he has mild dementia, heart conditions and has suffered strokes in recent years.
A judge ruled that the federal prison system was capable of caring for Breyer.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Eyewitnesses told Turkish media this week that a portion of the Temple Mount platform near the Al Aqsa Mosque has collapsed, creating a serious safety hazard and a possible threat to the stability of the Islamic structure.
If the report is accurate, it would be the second serious collapse on the Temple Mount in the past five years.
Palestinian officials claim that the collapses are caused by deliberate Israeli action to bring down the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock so that the Jewish Temple can be rebuilt.
But archaeologists and engineers have been warning for years that the heavy construction projects being carried out by the Muslims atop the Temple Mount are destabilizing the huge number of ancient structures and water cisterns that riddle the sacred plateau.
Many believe it is only a matter of time before most of the platform collapses. And there are fears such a collapse could occur during Ramadan, when upwards of 100,000 Muslims gather atop the Temple Mount for weekly prayers.

Requiem For A Team
July 9, 2013 in Uncategorized

Just LOL @ girls I met in RV. They wanted clothes and I wanted sex. There is going to be a deal done very soon!
Wow, clips & abuse - did you know all these clips are free and totally exclusive?
If you ever looked for passionhd clips you know we are the providers of the finest stuff.
Something you might not know about me is that I have a tendency to fixate on things. For long periods, the object of my fixation – whatever it is – demands huge chunks of my energy. I tend to throw myself into these things, boots and all. I think my partner finds this trait to be my most endearing… and my most frustrating.
Way back in 2009, my new vampire obsession was most definitely what you might call a…"fixation". Back then, I was reading the Tangler Sookie Stackhouse forum and posting regularly on HBO's True Blood forum – the kind of long-winded, detailed posts that I still seem to write now. After all this time, you'd think I'd learn something about editing. Anyway, it dawned on me one day that I was putting an excessive amount of energy into these posts, only for them to be promptly buried in a forum that saw hundreds and hundreds of posts a day.
So I decided to start a little WordPress blog, just for me. A place to get all this stuff out of my head, and kick my ideas about True Blood and the Sookie novels around. Somewhere that I could keep my thoughts together so that when I wanted to post on a forum, I could just copy and paste that shit; maybe jig it around a little so it fit the purpose. Who cared if it got buried then? Genius, right?
You guys weren't supposed to actually READ that stupid little blog, you know.
After a few weeks of posting, I woke up one morning to find my little blog had a comment. Within weeks, one comment had turned into a few people reading and commenting every day. Then I wrote a three part post called "Loved By A Vampire" – which was read by my kick-arse friend Leif, who made it her business to spread that shit all over Facebook. That post drew in many new readers and in just a few short months, we had to move away from free WordPress and self host the site. And then…well, you know the rest.
Like so many of you I've invested blood, sweat and tears in these characters – in both their TV and book incarnations. Hours spent reading and watching them. Days spent researching and writing material for this site. Moderating it. Maintaining it. Loving it…and sometimes hating it. Like an extra child it was loved without limits most of the time – interspersed with days I felt an overwhelming urge to kick it in the arse so hard, it couldn't sit down for a week.
I've spent my hard earned on books, limited edition prints, and tickets to signings. I've sat up until the early hours, frosty beer in hand; writing and rewriting posts, picking fights on Facebook and pouring boiling oil on the trolls trying to scale our front gate. At times, it was a difficult and pretty thankless task. And yet, it's also been the most fun we here could have online with our clothes on. From the weekly rapture that was Sunday Skars, to the unbridled rage of the True Blood Season 4 finale post, to MASpencer's most awesome True Blood Recaps – you can say many things about the tone of this site (and many have)…but you could never say that it was uptight, stuffy or boring.
Of course, running this monstrosity has been far from a solitary endeavour. It's a 24/7 occupation, and someone needs to baby sit this zoo while I sleep in another time zone at the arse end of the earth. I owe so much to my Viking sister-wives who tirelessly moderated, bitch-slapped, coddled and loved on all who posted here – in between writing amazing posts for the blog and the forum. These ladies – Serena, VikingLover, MASpencer, krtmd – as well as past mods ilovevampires, dazedrose and Ashley – understood implicitly my vision for this place, and the ethos underpinning it. They saw something they wanted to be part of and embraced it with every ounce of their commitment, passion and intensity. It can't have been easy…it made no one rich, and it wasn't always fun (yeah, we had lots of fights in private that you all never got to see) – but we made it to the finish line intact, and these ladies will always be counted amongst my friends. We've laughed together, fought together and speculated endlessly together. Finding soul mates like these in the often brutal world of online fandom has been one of the richest gifts I will take from here.
I also want to thank my partner, Ben – who has listened patiently to my every fandom drama and offered advice, or a much needed alternative point of view. He's resurrected the site after technical difficulties more times than I can count. Sookieverse would have been buried three and a half years ago if we had to rely on my technical
inability to keep it running. And let's not even mention the good humour with which he's taken my five year extra-marital love affair with a tall, blond fictional vampire.
While it takes the effort of individuals to build a site like this, the result is nothing more than a soapbox without a community to bring it to life. And YOU, dear reader, are that community. Witty, fiery, irreverent and intelligent, your contribution has made SVB a daily must-visit for many. From the emails I've been getting, I know that so many fans found their second home here and that makes me happy, and proud. An extra special shout out to those sites that ran many of those readers out of town – their loss was our gain. Their unwitting assistance herding the lost Viking hordes in this direction helped make Sookieverse the biggest, and most vocal online shrine to the Viking around.
I've been asked numerous times lately if I'll start another fansite – the answer to that is a loud and resounding no. It's definitely time for me to do other things. You know how I mentioned my tendency to fixate? These days my fixation is on an interest entirely outside fandom, and I'm happiest now pouring my energy into that. It has little in common with Sookieverse (or books, or vampires) except late nights. But that suits my night owl tendencies just fine.
For those of you still gutted at the ending of the Sookie books and the unfortunate reader bashing that has occurred in the press, don't allow anyone – and I DO mean ANYONE – to poison the pleasure this series has given you over the years. I've poured my heart and soul into a website devoted to fictional characters that were brutally assassinated in the most trite way imaginable. She didn't even have the courtesy to finish me off proper with that ending, and it would be easy to throw a pity party and write it all off as a big waste of time. Except that it wasn't. No one can ever take what these books have given me…or take the memories I have of late nights spent laughing, raging and squealing with you all for the love of them.
That will always be mine. And it is yours, too.
For some of you (like me), the conclusion of the book series marks the end of your time in this fandom. Others are pushing forward with swords drawn and shields locked, into yet another round of True
Torture Blood. No matter where you go from here Team Eric, I want you to remember one thing.
Thank you and good night, my lovers.

Some caravan sites are larger and may have a swimming pool, laundry facilities, a TV room or recreation hall. Others are smaller, quieter and have fewer facilities. This type of caravan site would suit you if you are looking for a more secluded holiday, or if you plan on spending little time in your caravan, returning only to sleep after a long day out sightseeing. The Club boasts a number of small certificated sites which offer a more private and intimate caravanning experience as well as unbeatably low prices. Get the lowdown on being a confident tower An important part of a caravanning holiday involves towing your caravan to your desired location. If you haven't towed a vehicle before, and are not quite sure where to start, we understand it is the sort of thing that could put you off going on a caravanning holiday altogether. However, there is no need to feel anxious about it. Take a look at our topical articles towing and the law, what can I tow? and confident towing for everything you will need to know about towing your caravan legally and safely. There are places where you can practise towing before you buy a caravan, which should make you feel more comfortable when you realise that it is much easier than you thought it would be. If you become a member of The Club, you can take full advantage of our Caravan and Motorhome Manoeuvring Courses, which guarantees to help you feel more confident about setting off on your caravan holiday.

SOCHI, Russia, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Ashley Wagner may have helped the United States advance in the team skating event Saturday, but that doesn't mean she was happy with her score in the ladies short program.
At the end of the ladies short program, the United States was situated in third place, up from seventh, thanks to Wagner, and ice dancing pair Meryl Davis and Charlie White's performances.
Only the top five teams advanced to Sunday night's finals.
Wagner said her performance -- which earned her a 63.10 -- helped redeem the nay-sayers who didn't understand why she was picked for the Olympic team, even though she placed fourth in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships last month.
Even though she got some redemption, it was clear based on her facial expression when her score was announced, she thought she should have gotten a better score.
"It was tough going out there after a disappointing Nationals so it was important for me to redeem myself," Wagner said. "I got the triple-triple out there, so I'm pleased. It was a different kind of pressure because it's the team event."
[New York Times] [Fox Sports]
"I know roughly when I skate a good program where the score should end up. ... So yeah to score that low was very disappointing for me," she said after her score was announced. "But honestly this performance was more for myself and mentally getting beyond this past couple of weeks. And I wanted to do everything I could to help out the team, and I really feel that I delivered on that part.''

The cast members of "Revolution" aren't going to be the only former Wilmingtonians on NBC this fall.
Actress Linda Lavin will appear in "Sean Saves the World," a new sitcom starring and executive produced by Sean Hayes that will air in the key 9 p.m. Thursday time slot.
Lavin, perhaps best known for playing the title role in "Alice" on CBS in the '70s, left Wilmington last year after she and husband Steve Bakunas made their mark on the Wilmington theater scene. Now, she's returning to the format that made her famous in one of the most high-profile shows of the season.
In "Sean Saves the World," Hayes ("Will & Grace") plays a divorced gay dad who juggles his demanding career with parenting his teenage daughter, Ellie (Sami Isler). Lavin plays his opinionated mom, Lorna.
Thomas Lennon ("Reno 911"), Lindsay Sloane ("Weeds") and Echo Kellum ("Ben and Kate") also star.

To be offended by what others say something within you has to happen first.
1. You have to respect the person and their opinion
2. You have to put importance on the judgement of others even though you have no idea by what standard you are being judged or how they are qualified to assess you.
3. You will have to accept their opinion and agree that on some level they are right even if consciously you think they are not.
4. You will then reject your own agreement with what they say and this will make you angry cross or upset.
5. You will then blame them for how upset they made you feel.
6. The truth is it's you that makes you upset.
By giving away your personal power to others you are at their mercy and they know it. Why allow others to be your judge.
Take control of your emotions today and watch your confidence and self-esteem grow.

Another polish I got from my swap with Marketta was Icicle from the China Glaze Let It Snow collection for winter. It is a basic silver foil but it has a very nice formula, not too thin or thick. I used three coats for my pictures but two would have been fine otherwise. I will definitely be keeping this one!
What is your favorite silver? I really like silver polish but only have a few for some reason.

LAKELAND, Fla. – In a game the Buccaneers led most of the way, Barry let one slip away Saturday at Florida Southern.
Barry went cold down the stretch and fell to the host Moccasins, 47-44.
Kaley Howard scored in the paint with 13:39 to play to give the Bucs a nine-point lead. Florida Southern cut it to five, but Colette Eule converted a three-point play to push Barry's lead back to eight.
Florida Southern's Morgan Lamberg scored at the 8:33 mark to pull the Mocs within 40-36. FSC's Kirstin McIntyre split a pair from the free throw line to cut it to two. Eule scored as the shot clock wore down to pad the Buccaneers lead back to four with 4:51 remaining. Kaley Howard canned a jumper to make it 44-39.
The Mocs took the lead, 45-44, with 1:41 left on the clock when Lamberg scored off a steal. Melanie Ducott scored to give Florida Southern a three-point lead with 20 seconds remaining. And Barry couldn't convert on its final possession.
Eule scored 13 points on 4 of 11 field goals and 5 of 6 free throws. Tyler Hardy finished with 10 points and six rebounds, scoring eight in the first half. Howard had seven points and six boards.
Lamberg scored 13 for the Mocs. McIntyre and Tracy Fosterling each had 10.
The Buccaneers (7-3, 0-2 Sunshine State Conference) shot 30.8 percent from the field, converting 16 of 52. Florida Southern (7-4, 2-0) were 16 of 47 for 34 percent.
Barry couldn't get a field goal to fall in the final 4:06.
The Bucs and Mocs each grabbed 37 rebounds.
Hardy scored on a low-post spin at the 4:00 mark to give Barry a 22-13 lead in the first half.
Barry forced Florida Southern into four shot clock violations in the first half, using tight defense to cause fits for the Moccasins on the offensive end. The Buccaneers held the Mocs to 6 of 23 field goal shooting in the first half. Florida Southern was 0 of 5 from three-point range in the first half.
The Bucs outscored the Mocs, 16-8, in the paint in the first half.

"April Fools' Blank"
Tori & Jade's Play Date is the 6th episode in Season 3 of Victorious, making it the 40th episode overall. It aired on March 3rd, 2012.
Tori and Jade portray a married couple in one of Sikowitz's plays, a task that challenges their acting skills and their friendship. However, Sikowitz isn't satisfied with the believability of Tori and Jade being in love. Trying to help them play the role better, he forces them to go on a "date" at a sushi place, Nozu, together, but while there, two random boys constantly flirt with them and annoy them. The boys ask Tori and Jade to sing a song, so to get them to back off, they perform the song Take A Hint. Tori and Jade do so well performing together, that they are able to play their part well. Unfortunately, the boys from Nozu follow them there, and they have to run away.
Sikowitz asked Cat and Robbie to give his neighbor, Tanner, bad news as sweetly as possible, so they sing it to him. Afterwards, students ask Cat and Robbie to sing bad news songs to people to break them bad news without making them too sad. Even though it worked for Tanner, Beck, and another kid, it didn't work for Trina, who smashes Robbie's guitar when he and Cat tell her that her date was standing her up.
- The season 2 opening is used in UK airings. Also it was premiered to 5.078 million views in the UK, more than the US viewers.
- This is one of the rare times that a background actor confirms an episode before Dan, Nickelodeon, or the cast members mention it.
- This is the third time Jade's name has been used in the title of an episode (after Jade Dumps Beck and Jade Gets Crushed), and the sixth time Tori's name has been used.
- Part of this episode was seen in the new Season 3 trailer.
- This is the episode in which Tori and Jade perform Take A Hint, which is the first Jori duet. This is also the episode that features the first Cabbie duet(s).
- This is the first time that Jade has been/seen in Nozu.
- This is the only episode so far where Sikowitz, Sinjin and Burf have been in Nozu.
- This is the second time Tori and Jade play a married couple, although this seems to be more challenging acting-wise than their first attempt (during one of Sikowitz's acting exercises in Helen Back Again).
- This marks the first school play shown in season 3.
- This episode continues the series running gag of Jade yelling "NO!" when people are annoying her and Jade saying "OH" in a deep meaningful tone (the latter of which Tori mocks at one point during the episode).
- "Tori and Jade Should Date" trended on Twitter after the episode premiered.
- Two people do karaoke to "The Joke Is On You," a song featured on Dan's show iCarly in the episode iGet Pranky and briefly heard in the episodes iParty with Victorious & How Trina Got In.
- This is the second time Lane appears in Season 3 (although he has no lines, he is in the audience at the end, unless you count the deleted scene), the first one being in The Worst Couple.
- This is the first time Robbie has sung in season 3.
- This is the episode with the largest number of duets sung.
- Dan Schneider confirmed on Twitter that he wrote some of the songs Cat and Robbie sing during the episode.
- The song that Robbie and Cat sing to Beck, it sounds like modified version of Tommy Tutone's classic "Jenny - 867-5309".
- There are two (known) deleted scenes from this episode that have been posted on TheSlap.
- There was a deleted scene where Tori sits on Jade's chair and where Robbie pees a little. It was posted on TheSlap.
- There is also another deleted scene where Robbie and Cat sing a song telling a boy he is expelled for Lane. This scene appears to have been cut early on in post-production, as it is of worse quality than the above scene. Although as a bonus end scene during the credits this is shown.
- This episode marks the first time we see Tori wearing a watch.
- The characters Tori and Jade are portraying in the play are named Nancy and Walter. Many believe that these were the names of characters from Dan's previous show 'Drake & Josh', but actually only Walter was the name of a character from that show. Nancy was the name of the actress playing the character Audrey.
- This is the second time Victoria Justice dresses up as a boy/man in one of Dan Schneiders shows. First was in the Zoey 101 Season 2 episode, 'Girls Will Be Boys'.
- Chad wears a shirt that says "England's Screaming" on the front. This is a band from Northeastern England who play new wave/punk music from the late-seventies.
- This is the first episode since The Breakfast Bunch to reach the top 10 on the overall charts on iTunes and not just make #1 on Kids, peaking at #5.
- During the classroom scene, there is a list of tips on Sikowitz's whiteboard:
- Only drink water that is room temperature or warm, cold water will restrict your vocal cords.
- Sip hot water and lemon between scenes.
- Support you voice by using your diaphragm, not your throat, to control your breath and vocal cords.
- In between shows, keep your jaw loose. Bette Davis used to walk around her apartment with a cork held loosely between her upper and lower front teeth. Try it, it works!
- There is also a quote by J. Cameron: "Magic doesn't come from the director's mind, but from the heart of the actors."
- Sikowitz scaring Tori, and Tori saying, "I hate when you do that." could be an reference to Dan Schneider's own habit of scaring his actors and posting the videos on YouTube.
- A scene from the updated Season 3 Opening Credits had a scene from this episode but was another take when Tori and Jade are bowing. You could clearly see their facial expresions and body-movements and timing are different from the take they kept for the episode.
- This is the second time that Cat Valentine has sung in season 3.
- Ending Tagline: "My box has spoken!" - Sikowitz
- Running Gag: Awkwardly dancing around the subject of Beck and André being "identical" twins.
- This is the second time an episode has had karaoke, the first being Freak the Freak Out.
- Trina smashing Robbie's guitar is a reference to a scene from Animal House.
- Take A Hint is the third single by Victoria Justice to enter the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and her sixth song to never enter the Hot 100.
- This is the second time someone says "________ has spoken". First was Rex in Wok Star, saying "The cookie has spoken!".
- When Tori and Jade are singing "Take a Hint" Jade sings the line "I am not your missing link". This is a reference to the Theory of Evolution, about the missing link between homo erectus and others.
- Rex does appears in this episode and has no lines during Scene 1. But on the deleted scene on where Jade tries to get Tori off of her chair, he has lines.
- In Tori's theSlap update about the worst date of her life, she puts :{(. The { is a mustache which is probably a reference to Victoria Justice's obsession with mustaches in real life.
- Song heard when Tori and Jade are "complementing" each other, All The Way by Stiletto! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q71GO7vPTY8
- This is the first time that we hear Jade say something nice about Tori. We also hear them sing a duet together.
- When Sikowitz is telling the girls about their date, you can see their glasses on the counter. After he introduces Burf, the glasses are missing, then reappear in a later shot.
- In class, when Cat and Robbie are about to tell bad news for the first time, the camera shows Rex in the background, the camera cuts back and Rex moves positions.
- When the girls are at Nozu and they try to start talking to each other, the spoon Tori was using to eat her miso soup disappears, then it reappears again.
- Robbie was said to have wet himself enough to make Rex's leg damp, but his pants were completely dry.
- After Trina breaks Robbie's guitar, captions says that she said "later," but she does not say anything.
- When Tori and Jade sing "You'd be here and I'd be on a yacht, oh", in one shot, the guy who works at Nozu is facing the table and in the next shot, he is facing Tori and Jade with no time for him to turn around.
- In the first few scenes, Jade has green highlights, but when they are rehearsing for the play (and for the rest of the episode) Jade has blue highlights. However, in the next episode her highlights are green again. She could changed it before the play started.
- Jade might have switched highlights though.
- In this episode, Trina was talking on the phone with her grandmother. However, in Jade Dumps Beck, Tori says her grandmother is dead.
- Trina could have been talking to her other grandmother.
- When Trina smashed Robbie's guitar, you can tell it's cardboard.
- The opening credits for this episode are the opening credits for season 2– not season 3.
Running gags
- Cat and Robbie were singing bad news to people.
- Burf eating a bell pepper.
- The boys coming and flirting to the girls.
- The fact that André and Beck are supposedly 'identical twins'.
Rex: They found out coconut juice makes your hair fall out?
Sikowitz: (laughs) No!
Robbie: This kind of news is always hard to tell someone.
Cat: And we really hope it doesn't break your heart.
Robbie: But somebody ran.
Cat: Yeah somebody ran.
Robbie: A woman or a man.
Cat: Maybe in a van.
Cat and Robbie: But somebody ran over your go-cart!
Robbie: (singing stops) And it got crushed!!!
Cat: It's unfixable!!!
André: (pulls a card out of a box) Tommy. Ten year old identical twin brother of Carter.
Sikowitz: (imitates car noise) Beck. Pick a role.
Beck: Carter. Ten year old identical twin brother of Tommy. (looks at André) I guess we're twins.
André: Then Momma's got some explaining to do.
André: Eh, Sikowitz, I think I just heard something movin' there with the go-cart parts. (A raccoon climbs out of the box with the go-cart parts) Sikowitz: I knew it!
Robbie: Hey, Mr. Beck...
Cat: Your life's going swell.
Robbie: Now here's some news...
Cat: That's not so fun to tell.
Cat & Robbie: Ohhhhh...
Robbie: Now, André would like to thank you for the use of your car...
Cat: But something icky happened and it's kind of bizarre...
Robbie: His grandmother peed in a clear plastic cup.
Cat: André put it in the car then he started it up.
Robbie & Cat: Now...comes...the bad part.
Cat: He was on his way to the doctor and he took a sharp turn...
Robbie: The cup fell over and spilled all the urine.
Cat: 64 plus 9 equals 73.
Robbie: But please don't feel bad now that your car smells like pee.
Cat & Robbie: 'Cause you're still good-looking!
(While jumping up and down)
Cat: This is so fun!
Robbie: Yeah, maybe we should make out sometime
Cat: Robbie, you're so gross! (Pinches Robbie's cheeks and runs away laughing).
Jade: Don't touch Mommy.
Tori: I'm so darn narcoleptic, I can't even tell my own twin sons apart!
Jade: It's not your fault. They're identical. Look at them.
(Beck and André smile awkwardly and exchange looks)
Sikowitz: You girls meet me for dinner at Nozu! Tonight! 7pm!
Tori: But I don't wanna...
Sikowitz: NOZU!
Jade: But why are you.....
Sikowitz: (speaking jibberish in japanese)
Jade: At least let us.....
Sikowitz: (speaking very fast) SEE YOU GIRLS AT NOZU AT 7PM!
Sikowitz: Listen. I once did a show where I had to play a man in great pain. So, to prepare, I threw myself down a flight of stairs. You wouldn't believe how many times I hit my head.
Jade: Yeah, we would.
Tori: We really, really would.
Alan & Chad: Whoa! Babe sandwich! Whoa!! (moves closer to Tori & Jade)
Tori: I admire how you're never afraid to say what you think.
Jade: That's stupid.
Tori: See?
Alan: We wanna hear a little songy-song action!
Tori: (to waiter) Excuse me? My date and I were wondering if you have a flight of stairs we could throw ourselves down.
Tori: (slurps her soup and stops a few times)
Jade: NO!!!
Tori: Run, Nancy!
Jade: Yes, Walter!
(in the deleted scene)
Jade: Why is your butt in my chair?
Tori: I'm not sure, I guess you'll have to speak to my butt about that. [Wiggles her butt]
Jade: (Leans down) Get away from my chair!
Robbie: (shocked after Jade glares at him)
Cat: Did you just pee a little bit?
Robbie: Nooooo.......
Rex: Then why is my leg damp?
Tori: You really ran over the boy's go-cart?
Sikowitz: Three times. ... I thought it was a raccoon!
Tori: There is no good reason why you and I shouldn't be able to sit here together and have a conversation.
Jade: I got a good reason.
Tori: Which is?
Jade: I don't like you!
Tori: Really? You can't think of one thing that you like about me?
Jade: I like it when you're sad.
Sikowitz: (opens door) Good morning, little mutants. (laughs in a deep voice)

Purdue Professor to Lecture Thursday on "Don Quixote"by Howard W. Hewitt • April 4, 2005 Share:
One of the nation's leading experts on "Don Quixote" the tale of a mad, errant knight will speak on the Wabash campus at 4:15 p.m. Thursday in Detchon 209.
Purdue University Spanish Professor Howard Mancing will be lecturing on the influence of Cervante's masterpiece. It is believed Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra started the novel in the late 1500s with the first of its two volumes printed Dec. 20, 1604. He completed the second volume in 1615, a year before his death.
It has been a bestseller since its publication, according to CBSNEWS.com, ranking as the most published and translated book after the Bible.
"For four centuries this character has not only lasted by also influenced many artists, writers, musicians, poets and film directors, said Mancing in a story on the Purdue University website. Mancing is author of "The Chivalric World of Don Quixote" and "The Cervantes Encyclopedia."
"It's a great work, but if you read the book yourself, you are likely to struggle," Mancing said. "In the age of video, film, television, computer screens and video games, Americans generally don't read such complex literary works. Certainly, many more people being this book than finish it. If reading this book on your own, it helps to talk with someone who has read the novel."
This year marks the 400th birthday of the book's publication.
Mancing's lecture is sponsored by the Department of Modern Languages.

President Obama's speech last week on the future course of America's 11-year-old war against Al Qaeda was long overdue.
Never before has he offered the public such a detailed explanation of his anti-terrorism strategy. In part, that's surely because so much of it was officially secret — but also because the public hasn't demanded a position more nuanced than "tough on terrorism."
The president did three big things in his speech Thursday at the National Defense University in Washington. He argued that America's fight against terrorism should be narrower and more sharply focused. He formalized, in particular, new limitations on drone strikes. And he promised that the war against Al Qaeda will end someday.
Predictably, Republicans instantly accused Obama of going soft. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) charged that merely by giving his speech, Obama had handed the terrorists a victory.
"Rather than continuing successful counter-terrorism activities, we are changing course with no clear operational benefit," he said.
Rep. William M "Mac" Thornberry (R-Texas) charged that Obama was proposing we could return to "a pre-9/11 sort of mentality."
But that's not what Obama said, and it's not what he's doing either. In fact, some might charge that he's simply rebranding the war on terror; he prefers to call it "a systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations."
But it's still going to look an awful lot like war.
In Obama's new version, there will still be drone strikes against terrorists overseas, including U.S. citizens — just fewer of them, under clearer rules.
The president will continue to assert the authority to strike anyone who threatens the United States, but maybe not militants who target other friendly governments.
And the United States will still hold dozens of detainees without trial; they may merely be moved from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to a prison in the United States, if Congress allows — which, by all appearances, it won't.
That doesn't mean Obama hasn't made significant changes. His new rules on drone strikes, in particular, are important and useful.
Despite his image as the antiwar candidate in 2008, when Obama took office, he approved a major increase in the use of armed drones against suspected terrorists in Pakistan and Yemen, from an estimated 35 in 2008 to 121 in 2010. Officials bragged openly about the lethal effectiveness of the strikes and claimed that they were precise enough to avoid all but a few civilian casualties.
But over time, they discovered that the miracle weapon was not without costs. In Pakistan, reports of civilian casualties turned politicians and the public against the United States.
In Yemen, where the number of strikes increased from four in 2010 to 42 in 2012, U.S. drones were used not only against Al Qaeda but also as a weapon in the country's civil war. In Somalia and other countries, U.S. officials said they were running out of legitimate targets.
And they worried that unfettered use of drones would set too lax a precedent for countries such as China and Russia that are likely to develop drones of their own.
So, last week, Obama promulgated a new rule: The United States will use drones only against suspected terrorists who pose a "continuing and imminent threat to the American people."
That's a notably tighter standard than one offered just a year ago by John Brennan, then a White House counter-terrorism advisor and now the CIA director, who said drones could be used against any "significant threat to U.S. interests."
Obama also said drone strikes could now be launched only if there was a "near certainty" that no civilians would be killed, a rule that other officials said has been in effect for some time. Indeed, groups that try to monitor civilian casualties say that number has diminished — in part because fewer strikes are being launched.
Still, Obama ordered a concrete change, one that is in keeping with his overall strategy of reducing the number of wars the United States is fighting. U.S. combat troops have left Iraq and are scheduled to depart Afghanistan next year. And the president has resisted pressure to intervene in Syria.
"This war, like all wars, must end," Obama said Thursday. "That's what history advises. It's what our democracy demands."
But history also reminds us — to borrow a military saying — that the enemy gets a vote. Some wars, especially those waged by terrorist groups, can persist for decades.
Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee on May 16, Assistant Secretary of Defense Michael Sheehan warned that the conflict with Al Qaeda is far from over.
"In my judgment, this is going to go on for quite awhile; yes, beyond the second term of the president," Sheehan said. "I think it's at least 10 to 20 years."
Obama would like to see a clear victory over Al Qaeda — call it "V-Q Day" — before he leaves office in 2017. He's unlikely to enjoy that luxury. But, with luck, the speech he gave last week will help the nation get there — with less collateral damage along the way.

"An entrepreneur is an undertaker. Very few are willing to press through the harder times.... The key to getting started in entrepreneurship is to read widely, learn from the experts, imitate other entrepreneurs and stop talking and start doing. To quote Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese, 'The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.' All of the speakers participating in Start-up Week are doers. They figured out what they wanted and started taking tangible steps.... As young entrepreneurs, we have to get over the credibility gap.... Society will reward you for something of value."

Here at DHL, we anticipate change from 3D printing that is both broad and deep. Companies are recognizing that 3D printing presents an opportunity to 'do things differently' – we can now profoundly rethink the way we create and manufacture products, and fundamentally reassess the design of supply chains.
In our , we identified 3D printing as one of the major disruptive trends to impact the logistics industry in the near future. We believe this is due to the immense potential for 3D printing to create instant production and distribution models, essentially enabling companies and consumers alike to print complex objects within the confines of a single printer.
Of course, not all products and parts can and will be 3D printed. Therefore it will be essential to understand early on where 3D printing will be advantageous to your manufacturing and supply chain strategies. To support you in assessing the implications of 3D printing, this DHL trend report provides insights and answers to the following key questions:
- What is the current state of 3D printing and how is this technology being applied?
- What competitive advantages can 3D printing offer to your organization?
- What are the crucial success factors for the widespread adoption of 3D printing?
- What are the opportunities for 3D printing in your future supply chain?
The dialog on 3D printing is building. We hope you'll find this an enlightening read.

The Houma power generation plant off Barrow Street will continue to be maintained as the city begins an agreement with other municipalities to build a new power generation facility, local officials said.
The Houma power generation plant off Barrow Street will continue to be maintained as the city begins an agreement with other municipalities to build a new power generation facility, local officials said.
The parish will join with other public utilities in the region to build a new combined-cycle generator, which will be fueled by natural gas but also captures its steam to create more power.
The $104 million plant, owned by the Louisiana Energy Power Authority, will create 65 megawatts of power, 25 of which will be claimed by Terrebonne, said Tom Bourg, Terrebonne's utilities director.
Construction on the facility located in Morgan City will begin early next year. Bourg said it will provide a generation point on the regional transmission system that sees the most strain.
"We built in the area where the constraint is," said Tim Matte, former Morgan City mayor and LEPA board member. "We are kind of the end of the line."
Terrebonne utilities serves about 13,500 residences and businesses mostly in and around Houma.
Bourg said the Rodemacher plant near Boyce has provided the bulk of that power for the past five to 10 years as it has typically been the cheapest source. The aging Houma plant on Barrow Street has provided about 10 to 20 percent of the power for the same period while purchases from the open market made up more than a third of usage.
Bourg said the new facility is more efficient and will take over the bulk of generation required for the service area.
Currently, Houma's facility is used only in times were the system is under strain, like in the summer. The other sources are more economical.
The Houma facility has the capacity to provide more power than the new facility, but as it ages, it becomes less reliable and is more expensive than other sources, Bourg said. The local generation plant will be maintained to give extra capacity and serve as a backup when needed.
Bourg said there is no expectation of lower power bills, but the facility will provide a hedge against any spikes in the price of natural gas.
Last year, the parish bonds tied to the construction of the Rodemacher facility expired. Those bonds were paid through user fees. Money that formerly paid for those bonds will be used to make payments on the new plant for the coming decades.
The total project cost is about $124 million, and Terrebonne's share will be about $51 million based on the share of power it lays claim to, Matte said. Terrebonne will pay an average of $3.3 million annually toward the facility through 2044.
Terrebonne's partners through LEPA also contribute to the cost relative to the amount of power generation dedicated to them.
Created by the Louisiana Legislature in 1979, LEPA consists of 18 Louisiana municipalities that each maintain their own independent municipal electrical system. LEPA works to provide its member communities with stable sources of electrical power at the lowest possible cost.
Since 1989, LEPA has entered into all-requirements power contracts with many of its members and has implemented a system operated through the use of a computerized energy control center. Located in Lafayette, the center dispatches electricity to all participating member cities simultaneously on the most cost-effective basis. Bourg sits on the organization's 29-member board.

Eastern South Dakota Slips into Moderate Drought
(NPN) South Dakota's wet spring has morphed into a dry fall. In fact, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, eastern South Dakota in particular has slipped into moderate drought (D1).
According to the High Plains Regional Climate Center, conditions in eastern South Dakota continue to deteriorate with lack of rainfall. The area of D1 continues to expand southward along the Minnesota border. D1 area increased about 4.5 percent and now totals 29.92 percent of the state.
North Dakota's drought status improved slightly, according to the HPRCC, with a 1.6 percent reduction in its D1 area.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, rain continued to fall this week in Colorado and neighboring states. This continued the reduction of drought in those areas. Unfortunately these rains were not wide spread in the High Plains Region.
In the region as a whole, area of moderate drought or worse conditions improved by almost 5 percent this week, to total 49.42 percent. Slight improvements were made in other categories as well, but those reductions were around 1 percent. As with last week, 0.30 percent of the Region still remains in exceptional drought (D4).
In Colorado, areas of abnormally dry (D0) conditions were removed in north-central Colorado. In southwestern Colorado a large area of D1 was upgraded to D0 and an area of severe drought was upgraded to D1. With these improvements, only 40.26 percent of the state remains in a D1 or worse condition.
Rains that fell in Colorado moved into the panhandle of Nebraska and southeastern Wyoming. These rains in Wyoming helped to upgrade some of the extreme drought (D3) area near the Nebraska border. In the panhandle of Nebraska a widespread one-category upgrade of D3 took place. This reduced the area of D3 in the state from 21.00 percent last week to 11.04 percent this week. All other areas in both states remained the identical to last week.
In Kansas, conditions remained nearly the same as compared to last week. The only change was a removal of D0 area in eastern Kansas that totaled less than 1 percent

In the end, Greg Miller said Wednesday, he went with his gut.
The owner of the Utah Jazz said in a telephone interview that he decided to OK the trade of All-Star guard Deron Williams to the New Jersey Nets because of his increasing belief that the Jazz could be caught empty-handed in the summer of 2012 if Williams decided not to re-sign in Utah, as other teams have found themselves in the past year.
"The concern that we as a franchise have had all along is if you look at what happened with LeBron James in Cleveland, and Amar'e Stoudemire in Phoenix, and Chris Bosh in Toronto, there seems to be a trend developing where those marquee players get away," Miller said. "In the case of those three teams there was very little at the end to show for it. I was very concerned that the same thing would happen to us if Deron left."
Utah traded Williams on Wednesday to the Nets for rookie forward Derrick Favors and point guard Devin Harris, and two first-round picks. One of the picks is New Jersey's unprotected first-rounder next year; the other is a 2012 first-round pick originally acquired from the Golden State Warriors. The pick is protected through the first six picks of the Draft in 2012 and 2013, and through the top seven picks in 2014. That means that the pick will go to Utah if the Warriors do not finish with one of the six worst records in the league in 2012 or 2013, or one of the seven worst in 2014. If none of those scenarios occurs the first-round pick turns into second-round picks in 2014 and 2016.
Miller said he and general manager Kevin O'Connor had conversations over the past few months both with Williams and his representatives, and that Williams was non-committal about his future every time. He didn't say he was definitely leaving, but he didn't say he was definitely staying, either. And the Jazz were increasingly worried that Williams would walk.
"At the end of the day, I never heard him say he was going to stay or go," Miller said. "Just going with my gut, I just felt like he would likely be moving on. The opportunity to make this trade caught us by surprise when NJ called (Tuesday) and asked if we'd be interested in doing the deal. Kevin called me yesterday afternoon … we decided this would be a great opporunity for the Utah Jazz to preserve the value of Deron Williams by trading for these four, essentially, first round picks, and control our destiny, which I wasn't sure we would be able to do with Deron."
Miller said he called Williams personally to tell him about the trade.
"As far as I know it was the first he heard of it," Miller said. "He just said, 'All right, I appreciate it.'"
Miller said he didn't have an "overt" conversation with Williams about his future this year, but didn't get the sense that Williams would make a commitment going forward.
"I think we've done everything we can to make him feel welcome and respected," Miller said. "Our hope would obviously be to keep our marquee player. But absent strong feelings that that feeling was reciprocal, we had to gamble … there's just so much uncertainty out there with so many things. But we just felt with all the uncertainty and ambiguity out there this was the best way to control our destiny. It was a way for us to preserve the value. Rather than just let Deron get away from us and have nothing to show for it, it gave us some assets to work with, some resources to work with going forward."
The Jazz had liked Favors before the draft but couldn't figure out a way to move up to take him, and he was selected third by New Jersey. Harris has a chance to resucitate his career in Salt Lake City after falling out of favor with the Nets. The constant trade speculation involving him as the Nets tried to make a deal for Carmelo Anthony also affected his play.
Asked several times if Williams had prompted the Jazz to move him with any kind of objectionable behavior, Miller said no. Local media in Salt Lake City said after Jerry Sloan's sudden resignation earlier this month that one of the key factors in Sloan's decision was a deteriorating relationship with Williams. The two had several verbal confrontations, including one Feb. 9, the night Sloan decided to retire. After thinking about it overnight, Sloan announced his retirement the following day.
"There have been a lot of people since Jerry's departure who seem to have a need to make a villain out of somebody," Miller said. "I honestly don't feel that. I wish Deron Williams the absolute best. He was great for the franchise. We're not excited to see our marquee player get away from us, but again, given all the uncertainty about his future and his willingness to stay, I felt this was the right thing for our franchise to do."
Some Jazz fans have been upset by the news of the trade, Miller said, but have been mollified somewhat when they understand the team's philosophy and concerns about Williams' future.
"Frank Layden told me a long time ago, the players come and go, the coaches come and go, but the franchise remains," Miller said. "That means to me there's never — I won't say never — but it's a very rare circumstance with the Utah Jazz where a player would be untradeable. If I felt we could improve the franchise long term, even if he's a marquee player, I would do it. That's a general statement. It doesn't apply to any specific player."
Miller said he was not swayed at all by the Nuggets' ability to extract four players, three future Draft picks and cash from New York in exchange for Anthony, and that it was the Nets who approached Utah about the trade. But he also wasn't shocked about the proposal, and after talking about it with O'Connor Tuesday he quickly gave the go-ahead. Nor, Miller said, was he worried that Williams' potential trade value would decrease as the summer of 2012 approached and teams knew Utah would be under increasing pressure to resolve the situation.
"I don't think that entered into it," he said. "We're not really ones to speculate. That's why we did what we did, because it actually reduced the speculation. We didn't really look too far down the road. We just knew we had a good deal in front of us and we might not get a better opportunity to get value, and this would serve the franchise going forward."
The Jazz will reduce their payroll somewhat by making the deal — Williams will make $16.3 million next season, compared to the approximately $13 million combined that Harris and Favors will make — but Miller said financial considerations had nothing to do with the trade. And he committed that the team would continue to spend money on players in the future.
These have been a seismic few weeks for Greg Miller, who's been running the team the past couple of years after the death of his father and the family patriarch, Larry H. Miller, in 2009. But Greg Miller says he is excited about the franchise's future. He has a strong bond with new coach Tyrone Corbin, and he thinks the Jazz will still be a factor in the Western Conference.
"I think we're younger," he said. "I think we can still be a playoff contender. I would expect us to make the playoffs. And I think that we've got a very bright future. I feel very at peace with this. I think we've done the right thing for the franchise, that we'll look back on this day and be glad we made the trade. I have no malice or bad feelings of any kind with Deron Williams. I appreciate what he's done for the franchise."

It's Lovely to be Appreciated....
|Illuminating Blogger Award
One of the greatest rewards for a blogger is to have readers of your writing appreciate your effort. Awards, for me are a much appreciated, although unexpected, reward for the research and time spent writing my family history blogs.
Merron Riddiford of the Western District Families blog http://mywdfamilies.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/illuminating-blogger-award/
has graciously nominated me for the above award for my FamilyHistory4u blog and in particular for my recent post which as part of the Family History through the Alphabet challenge, featured "I" for the Immigration research centre on Ellis Island, a place which I recently visited.
Thank you also to the official award site, which is the Food Stories Blog
Merron, of Western District Families, very kindly wrote of my blog FamilyHistory4u: The research and detail that goes into each post is fantastic....
There is no greater praise than that from another writer. So, thank you Merron for appreciating my blog and I do hope you get to Ellis Island to see for yourself where your Riddiford ancestors arrived in the USA.
I began blogging as a way of combining my love of writing and my passion for family history and historical research. Well...to be completely honest, I started blogging after watching the movie Julie/Julia. I had never even thought of blogging until that evening in 2009, when the true story of a food blogger changed my life! I sat down immediately following the film, and set up my first blog. Then I sat wondering, "Now what on earth will I blog about?" With my passion for family history and history, it took me all of two seconds to answer that question! I had no idea that there was a whole world of genealogy bloggers as well as other fascinating bloggers out in cyberpace waiting for me to join them. I have learned so much from the wonderful world of blogging. Blogging has connected me to relatives and fellow researchers and many new friends all around the world. It is just about the best thing I have ever done and that others enjoy reading my blog posts is a bonus.
As a condition of accepting this award I am going to nominate six blogs which I enjoy following and from each of which I have taken away some new and exciting knowledge.
Dance Skeletons ( http://www.danceskeletons.blogspot.com.au ) Fi welcomes you to her blog by announcing that she is 'having a heap of fun making those family skeletons dance" and it seems that she is certainly enjoying blogging about her finds. With a fascinating variety of titles, such as Gallipoli in his own words and Interesting facts or things I thought only happened in other families, Fi's writing keeps me entertained as well as being interesting and informative. I particularly enjoy reading her Favourite Finds series of blogs which puts me in touch with new blogs that Fi has discovered. Most exciting, is, that Fi and I finally met in person recently at the UnlockthePast Expo 2012 in Brisbane and although we didn't have nearly enough time to chat, we did end up in a couple of geneabloggers photos for posterity!

Inside History Magazine ( www.insidehistorymagazine.blogspot.com.au )
Inside History Magazine's blog is a favourite of mine. As well as keeping me abreast of events to be held by historical groups or libraries, every blog post informs me of something interesting about Australian and New Zealand history and heritage. Blog posts are always accompanied by excellent and relevant illustrations which are well sourced from libraries and Trove for example. One of the most exciting features of this particular blog is the 'Ask Our Experts" facility. For anyone who has a genealogical problem or question related to a historical document, you can email or post an inquiry to Inside History ( address displayed on the blog) which kindly offers free assistance by experts in the field. There is a also link to the very helpful 'Bob's your Uncle' section in the magazine which offers researchers the opportunity to connect with historians or others researching the same topic or family history. Even though I subscribe to this excellent magazine which is published six times per year, I enjoy reading the Inside History Magazine blog and always take something new away with me from each blog post. Cassie and Ben from Inside History Magazine must be very busy people!
A Family Tapestry ( www.afamilytapestry.blogspot.com.au )
Jacqi Stevens' sets the scene for her beautifully written blog in her profile where she says, From my family I receive my heritage: through family I leave a legacy. With family I weave a tapestry. These are my strands.
Jacqi's wonderful way with words is enhanced by the soft 'old world' colour scheme in the layout of her blog which also makes each blog easy to read. Blog posts with titles such as Inspiration for a Namesake and More Hats and Bonnets are creatively written and beautifully illustrated as well as featuring well highlighted links. I love nothing more than to sit down with a cup of tea and read this blog.
A Rebel Hand ( http://www.rebelhand.wordpress.com/ )
Francis is the three times great grand daughter of Nicholas Delaney, United Irishman, transported convict, Sydney roadbuilder, NSW farmer, publican...
A Rebel Hand is one of my favourite blogs, especially as I have convict ancestors of my own. I always find Frances's research fascinating, her writing style entertaining and her highlighted links a useful source of information. Titles such as The cook, the thieves, the prostitute and the postilion - convicts transported to Australia cannot fail to capture attention and the content of each blog never disappoints. A favourite post from this blog has been When John met Sarah - convict courtship. This blog provides most helpful sources for anyone researching convict ancestors or just for anyone interested in convict life. The header on this blog is one of the most colourful and creative designs I have seen.
The Armchair Genealogist ( www.thearmchairgenealogist.com )
Lyn Palermo's blog deserves a mention because this generous blogger primarily focuses on offering tips on how to research your family history. Lyn shares her own journey into her ancestry as well as providing advice about how to research and write your own family history. Links at the top of the vibrantly coloured blog includes Beginners -Start Here, Family History Writing Challenge, Writing Your Family History, Self Publishing, Everyone has a Family Story - Tell me Yours.
One feature of Lyn's blog which I particularly enjoy is her Old fashioned Recipe Collection, although I must admit to being remiss in that I have not yet contributed to this despite having some wonderful old Irish recipes passed down to me.
Fur Trade Family History (www.furtradefamilyhistory.blogspot.com/ )
This blog written by Nancy Marguerite Anderson who lives in Canada, began as a journey into the past life of her own Fur trade Ancestor, Alexander Caulfield Anderson. Nancy subsequently published her fascinating findings in a book which has been published. This blog is one of the most interesting blogs that I follow and I do so with great enthusiasm. It is a wealth of information about life in the times of the Fur trade Industry in Canada. Nancy's research has expanded over time to include many people who were employed by the Hudson's Bay Company and the NorthWest Company. She explores Indian life, medicines used and many other fascinating topics related to the Fur trade. If you had any ancestors who disappeared from Scotland (in particular the Orkney area) or England in the late 1700's and the 1800's it is worthwhile looking at this blog. You just might discover that your own forebear journeyed to the wilderness of Canada in the employ of the Fur Trade Companies. Whether or not you have ancestors in Canada, this is a wonderfully informative, detailed and extremely entertaining blog, and one well worth a look at.
Upon accepting this award, I have agreed to reveal one random fact about myself. In my twenties I learned to fly light aircraft. I took lessons in a high wing Cessna plane. As part of my training I had to sit for a radio operator's licence and my instructor decided to play a joke on me as I was only the second female to take flying lessons in the town in which I was living. Unbeknown to me, he gave me a very outdated manual of instructions which I learned off by heart, and I was quite confident that I would achieve 100% in the exam, something no male trainee pilot had done. I answered every question correctly until I got to the last one. The examiner asked me to describe the signals on an airstrip necessary for a pilot to recognise when landing. My manual had listed smoke signals ( I HAD thought this odd and asked my instructor about it, but unaware I was being set up, I went ahead, as advised, and learned the information....) As I launched into my detailed description of smoke signals, the examiner almost died laughing at my reply. Despite my protests that I had been given the wrong information to learn, I achieved the mark of 99% and I realised that I should have known that lights are used to signal aircraft - NOT smoke signals anymore!
If you have been nominated for this award, these are the steps you need to take:
1. The Nominee should visit the award site ( http://foodstoriesblog.com/illuminating-blogger-award/ ) and leave a comment indicating that they have been nominated and by whom. (This step is important as it is the only way that we can create a blogroll of award winners).

We simply folded a piece of construction paper in half lengthwise and cut the slashes at a 45 degree angle every 1/4 inch being careful to keep the slash end about 1/2 inches from the side. We then folded the paper flat and folded down every other V shape, slipping the point under the point below it. I repeated the same process only with fabric to make my blue bookmark.

Anatomy of the Endocrine System in Children
Anatomy of the Endocrine System in Children
The following are parts of the endocrine system:
Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is located in the brain, near the optic chiasm. It secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland. It also controls water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, and blood pressure.
Pineal body. The pineal body is located below the corpus callosum, in the middle of the brain. It make the hormone melatonin, which regulates the sleep cycle.
Pituitary. The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain. Usually no larger than a pea, this gland controls many functions of the other endocrine glands.
Thyroid and parathyroids. The thyroid gland and parathyroid glands are located in front of the neck, below the larynx (voice box). The thyroid regulates the body's metabolism. The parathyroid glands regulate the body's calcium balance.
Thymus. The thymus is located in the upper part of the chest and makes white blood cells, called T-cells. These cells fight infections and destroy abnormal cells.
Adrenal gland. An adrenal gland is located on top of each kidney. They work with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to make cortisol and other hormones important for normal metabolism.
Pancreas. The pancreas is located behind the stomach. It makes hormones for digestion and metabolism. These include hormones made by the pancreas called is insulin. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels.
Ovary. An ovary is located on each side of the female's uterus, below the opening of the fallopian tubes. In addition to containing the egg cells for reproduction, the ovaries also make estrogen and progesterone.
Testis. Two testes are located in a pouch (the scrotum) that hangs suspended outside the male's body. The testes make testosterone and sperm.
