For you nature lovers, many national wildlife refuges around the country will host open houses and public celebrations in honor of the 109th birthday of the National Wildlife Refuge System and will offer great opportunities for wildlife viewing. In 1903, President Teddy Roosevelt established the first national wildlife refuge on Florida's Pelican Island to protect wild birds from bounty hunters. Today, the Refuge System's 556 national wildlife refuges and 38 wetland management districts make up the nation's premier network of public lands, providing vital habitat for thousands of animal and plant species.
St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, in Franklin County, Florida, is an undeveloped barrier island just offshore from the mouth of the Apalachicola River, in the Gulf of Mexico. The refuge is managed to preserve its highly varied plant and animal communities. Ten separate habitat types have been identified: tidal marsh; freshwater lakes and streams; dunes dominated by live oak and mixed hardwood understory; scrub oaks; relatively pure stands of cabbage palm; and four different slash pine communities, each with its own unique understory species. St. Vincent is an important stop-off point in the Gulf of Mexico region for neo-tropical migratory birds. The island is a haven for endangered and threatened species, including bald eagles, sea turtles, indigo snakes, and gopher tortoises. Wood storks use the refuge during their migration. In addition, the refuge serves as a breeding area for endangered red wolves.
On Friday, March 22, 2013 the St. Vincent Island Supporters Group will welcome visitors to the island to explore and learn more about this beautiful island wildlife refuge. There are a wide variety of events for all participants. Among them are exhibits, hikes, nature trails, music, historical narratives, photo opportunities and art exhibits.
Free transportation to and from the island will be provided. There is no charge for the event
Date and Time : March 22, 2013 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (ET)
Location : St. Vincent Island

National wildlife refuges are national treasures that play a critical role in preserving America's rich wildlife legacy," says U.S Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe. "Without refuges' important conservation work, the country would lose many species of plants and animals that help clean our air, filter our water, pollinate our crops and boost our understanding of our place in the natural world."
Turtle Beach Inn Bed and Breakfast located in Port St. Joe with Gulf view cottages, where you can experience the charm and natural beauty of Florida's Forgotten Coast is the perfect place to stay while enjoying St. Vincent Island. Canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving are all available in the area. St. Vincent Island, a federal wildlife preserve, is just a short paddle or boat ride from the inn. Cape San Blas Bed and Breakfast in Cape San Blas is also a great place to stay while visiting the St. Vincent Wildlife Refuge. The Inn is situated on the east side of St. Joseph Peninsula. Overlooking picturesque St. Joseph Bay and across the street from the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Inn is situated 25 miles west of Apalachicola and 14 miles from Port St. Joe. Graced by the natural beauty of this yet-unspoiled part of Florida's Gulf coast


text: In the August 2003 issue, the article, "Set the Stage for Pilates," misspelled the last name of Elizabeth Larkam, director of the Pilates and Beyond program at Western Athletic Clubs. It is Larkam, not Larkham. In addition, the sentence on p. 18, "…studio fees can range from $10-$25 per class," may have given the impression that Reformer classes cost $10-$25. However, these costs are associated with Pilates Allegro classes rather than Reformer classes.

Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel, making his second start since returning from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, left Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays in the fourth inning with an injury to that knee.
After delivering a first-pitch curveball to Rays right fielder Matt Joyce with two outs in the fourth, Hammel limped off the mound after favoring his right leg.
Manager Buck Showalter and head trainer Richie Bancells ran to the mound to check on Hammel, who didn't even throw a warm-up pitch to test the injury.
Hammel, acquired in February from Colorado as part of the trade that sent Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies, emerged as the Orioles' ace in the first half of the season. He was 8-6 with a 3.46 ERA in 19 starts coming into the night.
Hammel missed nearly eight weeks after surgery on his right knee in mid-July. He had previously had a procedure on his left knee while pitching for the Rays.
Right-hander Steve Johnson replaced Hammel with the Orioles leading 3-1.
On Saturday, the Orioles lost right-fielder Nick Markakis, their top hitter of the second half, for the rest of the regular season. He had successful thumb surgery Tuesday, and the team is optimistic he could return if the Orioles play deep into October.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry declared Monday that there was "undeniable" evidence of a large-scale chemical weapons attack in Syria, toughening the Obama administration's criticism of Bashar Assad's regime and outlining a justification for possible U.S. military action.
Kerry, speaking to reporters at the State Department, said last week's attack was a "moral obscenity" that "should shock the conscience" of the world.
"The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable," said Kerry, the highest-ranking U.S. official to confirm the attack in the Damascus suburbs that activists say killed hundreds of people.
"This international norm cannot be violated without consequences," he said.
Officials said President Barack Obama has not decided how to respond to the use of deadly gases, a move the White House said last year would cross a "red line." But the U.S., along with allies in Europe, appeared to be laying the groundwork for the most aggressive response since Syria's civil war began more than two years ago.
The U.S. and its allies appear to be considering a response that would punish Assad for deploying deadly gases, not sweeping actions aimed at ousting Assad or strengthening rebel forces. The focus of the internal debate underscores the scant international appetite for a large-scale deployment of forces in Syria and the limited number of other options that could significantly change the trajectory of the conflict.
The international community was moving ahead even as a United Nations team already on the ground in Syria collected evidence from last week's attack. The U.S. said Syria's delay in giving the inspectors access rendered their investigation meaningless and officials said the administration had its own intelligence confirming chemical weapons use.
"What is before us today is real and it is compelling," Kerry said. "Our understanding of what has already happened in Syria is grounded in facts."
The U.S. assessment is based in part on the number of reported victims, the symptoms of those injured or killed and witness accounts. Kerry said the administration also had additional intelligence and would make its findings public soon.
Syrian President Bashar Assad has denied launching a chemical attack.
Associated Press writer Deb Riechmann contributed to this report.

Wyoming Teens Used Stolen Guns to Kill Family, Steal SUV
(PARK COUNTY, Wyo.) -- Two men arrested in the triple homicide of a Clark, Wyo. family told authorities they went to the house armed with stolen guns, intending to steal an SUV, but instead left behind a scene of bloodshed that has stunned the rural community.
Tanner Vanpelt, 18, and Stephen Hammer, 19, both from Cody, Wyo., appeared in court Tuesday to face charges, including murder and robbery, in a case authorities are calling, "nothing short of cold-blooded murder."
The bodies of 40-year-old Ildiko Freitas and her parents, Janos Volgyesi, 69, and Hildegard Volgyesi, 70, were discovered at 11:27 a.m. Saturday, less than an hour after they were shot to death in their home during a robbery. The garage door to the family home was left open and their black Audi SUV was missing.
Neighbors said they saw two men arrive at the family's home Saturday morning in a white Ford Taurus. Nineteen minutes later they saw the sedan and the family's black Audi SUV drive away from the home at a high speed, according to a an affidavit obtained by ABC News.
Police located the vehicles several miles from the crime scene and arrested Vanpelt and Hammer without incident.
After his arrest, Hammer told authorities he was sorry for "shooting that lady" and that he realized authorities likely already knew the men used guns stolen from a Cody sporting goods store to carry out the triple homicide, according to the affidavit.
Hammer and Vanpelt guided investigators to an irrigation pipe several miles from the scene where they had stashed guns, the affidavit said, and began talking to police.
"Vanpelt admitted that he had got into an argument with Ildiko over the black Audi and the fact that they needed the car. Vanpelt stated that Ildiko walked into the kitchen and they were arguing more," the affidavit said. "Vanpelt then pulled out his gun and shot her once in the head."
Hammer told authorities he then shot Hildegard Volgyesi after she startled him by the basement stairs, according to the affidavit. The documents said Vanpelt shot her two more times after he saw she was still alive.
Vanpelt told authorities he had been trying to start the black Audi SUV when Janos Volgyesi entered the garage, according to the affidavit.
When Volgyesi turned to hang something on the wall, Vanpelt told investigators he shot him twice in the back, the affidavit said.
Neighbors reported seeing the white sedan and the black Audi speeding away from the home at 11:01 a.m.
Less than half an hour later, a Good Samaritan who had found the family's dog wandering and came to return it discovered the bodies and called 911.
Janos Volgyesi was, "laying in a fetal position with blood coming from his mouth" in the garage, while his wife, Hildegard, was shot dead near the stairs, with an apparent bullet wound to her lower left cheek, the affidavit said.
In the kitchen, an ambulance crew tried to save Ildiko Freitas, who was moaning when authorities discovered her in a pool of blood. She died at the scene.
The crime has rattled the picturesque town near Yellowstone National Park, where almost everyone knows everyone else, Park County Sheriff Scott Steward told ABC News.
"You're talking about a small community where a lot of the EMS, a lot of the fire officials knew this family," he said.
Hammer and Vanpelt will be appointed public defenders and are being held without bond until their next court appearance.

Fort 1E Farm necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 78 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Fort 1E Farm
We are a little farm and our goal is to be as "natural" as possible. This means that the farm supports itself with the products created from it.
Ultimately, we envision the farm producing several types of products and lines of business; however, our current line of products includes goatmilk-based beauty soaps, and mohair.
Our main product line at this time is Goat Milk-Based Soaps. These soaps are named after the goat from which they come: Penny, an Alpine dairy goat. The brand name of the soaps is "Penny's Pure Soap". The niche for our soaps are the beauty benefits they provide - goat milk and fermented goat milk have fabulous beauty properties that many commercial products lack all in one place - and their purity - all soaps have 5 ingredients or less.
Mohair is the hair of the angora goat. The hair is very fine and appropriate for clothing the first couple of times you clip them. After that, the hair gets coarser and is great for more heavy duty items, such as rugs, coats, or hammocks. Mohair is a fabulous fiber because it resists dirt and is virtually impenetrable to mold/mildew. At this time, we're selling the mohair either raw (unwashed, fresh from the goat), processed (still in its "fresh from the goat" form, but cleaned and ready for spinning), or spun. In the future, we plan to sell some of the "finished product" items mentioned above that mohair is good for.
We need the farm logo to represent more of a "natural," "pure," "high-end" product. Something created on the farm, but good enough and rare enough to appeal to a more affluent buyer.
We plan to distribute the mohair products via our internet store. We anticipate that most of the customers for the raw, processed and spun mohair to be older women who spin or make their own mohair items. We anticipate the buyers of end mohair products to be anyone interested in a durable high quality item, but most likely will be women from 30-60.
One primary markets for our soaps is all-natural/chemical free health and beauty seekers. This would include many types of folks: men and women, old and young, those with cancer, those with sensitive skin, those who are using fertility treatments, cannot have scents, or any chemicals enter their bodies, whether through their skin or via what they eat and drink. It's hard to find a truly "pure" soap these days, though many commercial soaps will claim it.
Our other primary market for the soaps are those "into" the latest beauty product, the next big thing that offers lots of beauty benefits. Most goat milk soap providers focus on different scents, and leave the beauty benefits aside.
We plan to distribute soaps to these markets via spas, "skincare" salons, natural foods stores, artisan-type gift shops, and the internet.
The farm logo will appear on our internet store (www.fort1efarm.com - we are still working on building the site; the farm logo is a critical component of that), brochures, business cards, signage, and any/all correspondence and marketing materials.
We would like the farm logo to be one that can be easily tweaked for the goat milk soap packaging and mohair packaging.
If you take a look at the attached farm pictures , we can't get enough of the "everyday" beauty that exists all around us in this open space. The feeling that you get from taking care of and being amongst these animals and sharing in their natural gifts, working the land and producing something, and just observing life take place without any interference or additives from us is what we love and want to share/convey about Fort 1E Farm.
We'd like to see earthy colors and an interesting font.
An overall "Farm" logo is what we're looking for, but the branding would be consistent across all product logos, as well. Our main concern is that connectivity and crisp, consistent, crystal clear feeling you get from our logo, regardless of the particular product and its logo variation on the theme.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images, clip art or cartoons in the logo.

Kris Humphries Is Pissed That He's Being Blamed for Kim Kardashian's Miscarriage Scare
Kim Kardashian had a major miscarriage scare this week, with some reports pinning it on Kris Humphries.
And he didn't like that very much.
Humphries suspects that Kardashian's kamp planted stories about how the former couple's ongoing divorce drama is causing her health complications -- something he adamantly refutes.
"Kris didn't make Kim get on a 10-hour flight to and from Paris, nor did he have anything to do with her trip to Nigeria," a source told Radar Online. "Kris won't be blamed for her pregnancy complications, and he wants to subpoena her medical records to determine what is really going on with [her] medically."
"The only stress Kim is experiencing is temper tantrums because Kris isn't just going to give her a divorce because it's convenient for her. Perhaps Kim should also stop filming 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,' and stop the jet setting lifestyle."
Is it us or does that "source" sound an awful lot like the perturbed voice of, say, Kris Humphries?
He already has his work cut out for him when it comes to proving fraud to secure the annulment he wants instead of a divorce. His original attorney quit, ironically citing "irreconcilable differences."
Kardashian and Humphries are due in court on May 6.

Make love happen?
An interesting article I read today, "To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This." As a very quick summary, if you and another participate in a very in-depth Q&A session with a set of 36 specific question, followed by four minutes of uninterrupted eye gazing, you will essentially have created a love bond between you and the other. I have to admit, I'm a little conflicted by this. I keep thinking about this… it actually is bothering me. I mean, I know "love" is a complex combination of psychological triggers and connections mixed with chemical solvent like dopamine and oxytocin.

Dealer wanted in US for art fraud nabbed in Spain
MADRID (AP) — A Spanish businessman suspected of having dealt in millions of dollars of fake art has been arrested during Easter festivities in southern Spain, officials said Sunday.
Art dealer Jose Carlos Bergantinos Diaz, who is wanted for fraud in the United States, was arrested Friday at a luxury hotel in Seville. The Interior Ministry said he was so surprised by his arrest that he had to be attended by medical workers.
Glafira Rosales, Bergantinos Diaz's partner, was arraigned in New York in August, accused of peddling counterfeit art for 15 years as undiscovered works by world-renowned artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning.
The indictment charged Rosales with several offenses, saying she had charged two Manhattan art galleries more than $30 million for 63 pieces of fake art. Each was presented as previously unknown works by 20th-century abstract expressionist artists, also including Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline.
The canvasses had actually been created by a painter working from a studio at his home in Queens. Each bogus piece was exposed to extreme temperatures and the outdoors to artificially age it, authorities said.
Around 50 of the pieces they peddled were claimed to have been the property of a person of Eastern European ancestry with residences in Switzerland and Mexico who had inherited the works from a relative and wished to remain anonymous, the indictment said.
Prosecutors said the galleries sold the paintings for more than $80 million, earning nearly $48 million in profits.
Bergantinos Diaz is to appear this week before a judge who will rule on the steps for a likely extradition to the U.S.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Quick Navigation:
The body needs fatty acids to survive and is able to make all but two of them: linoleic acid (LA), in the omega-6 family, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in the omega-3 family. These two fatty acids must be supplied by the diet and are therefore considered essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Omega-6 fatty acids are well-supplied in the diet by meat and vegetable oils. However, not all omega-6 fatty acids are of equal value. Arachidonic acid (AA) tends to be unhealthy because it is the precursor of inflammatory eicosanoids — such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), thromboxane A2, and leukotriene B4 — which promote inflammation. In contrast, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), found in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant oil, is an important fatty acid that plays a beneficial role in healthy prostaglandin (PGE1) formation and pro-inflammatory mediator reduction.1,2
Health-conscious people have been swallowing a lot of borage oil supplements to obtain GLA (gamma linolenic acid), the parent of the biologically active DGLA (dihomogamma linolenic acid).
Life Extension adds 10 mg of sesame lignans to each softgel of Mega GLA borage oil. Sesame lignans not only increase beneficial DGLA but they also impede the conversion of GLA into the proinflammatory mediator arachidonic acid.3 Blocking this pathway inhibits the formation of proinflammatory agents prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4.4
Numerous studies document GLA's multiple health effects. Enhancing this supplement with sesame lignans enables GLA to work much better in the body, allowing many more people to benefit from supplemental GLA.

Did anyone welcome you personally?
I was quickly ushered into the last row as the announcements had already begun. My pewmate showed me which prayer book to use.
Was your pew comfortable?
Modern and quite comfortable. The kneeler was well padded.
How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?
I can't say, but the congregation was well behaved and babies that showed tendencies toward crankiness were quickly taken out.
What were the exact opening words of the service?
"Good morning."
What books did the congregation use during the service?
The Lutheran Hymnal, which the church refers to as "the red book". The church alternates this with the prayerbook/hymnal from the other large Lutheran denomination, which they call "the green book". They also alternate between communion services and plain worship services. If I understand their schedule correctly, one can go to church for a month and not encounter the same format twice.
What musical instruments were played?
Did anything distract you?
There weren't any distractions.
Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?
Everyone seemed well behaved and attentive. Well-dressed formal, but not "stiff".
Exactly how long was the sermon?
15 minutes.
On a scale of 1-10, how good was the preacher?
7. A tad academic, but easy to follow.
In a nutshell, what was the sermon about?
Lent isn't just a time of discipline, but a time to assess ourselves in terms of God's creation.
Which part of the service was like being in heaven?
It sounds strange, but the placement of the altar and pulpit were so simple and so perfect they seemed almost otherworldly.
And which part was like being in... er... the other place?
Nothing, really.
What happened when you hung around after the service looking lost?
My pewmate thanked me for worshipping there. She could tell I was not a member.
How would you describe the after-service coffee?
They had coffee available, but as it was melded in with the activities table, I avoided it.
How would you feel about making this church your regular (where 10 = ecstatic, 0 = terminal)?
4. Although very close to downtown Chicago, this is still a neighborhood church. I liked the fact that any baptized Christian can take communion at First St Paul's, which is a surprisingly liberal policy for a Missouri Synod church. I do not think I would like to be part of the Missouri Synod, though.
Did the service make you feel glad to be a Christian?
What one thing will you remember about all this in seven days' time?
The spare beauty of the chancel.

The production, sorting and selection of newly synthesized proteins in eukaryotes
Proteins possess a mind-boggling array of activities, but before they perform their diverse functions, they must be synthesized and fold with high fidelity. During or after synthesis, about one-third of all newly synthesized eukaryotic proteins enter the secretory pathway and therefore also must be transported into the endoplasmic reticulum, where they fold and are post-translationally modified. Secreted proteins that are improperly synthesized, transported or processed are recognized by components of a quality-control machinery that targets them for degradation. Because so many things can go wrong during the early life of a protein, it comes as no surprise that a significant number of human diseases are linked to protein biogenesis.
The four sessions in the "Protein Synthesis, Targeting and Quality-Control" theme will provide an overview and detail cutting-edge methods and discoveries related to these topics.
Proteins start their lives at the ribosome. From here, they must begin the complicated process of folding and being transported to their final destinations. This session will highlight our current mechanistic understanding of early steps in protein biogenesis.
Jody Puglisi (Stanford University School of Medicine) has pioneered the use of single-particle studies to understand the dynamics of protein synthesis, directly visualizing independent components during the translation cycle.
Wolfgang Wintermeyer (Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen) also will speak to the dynamics of the translation process, focusing on the nascent chain and its interactions.
Walid Houry (University of Toronto) will illuminate the roles of some of the ribosome's partners, specifically discussing the role of chaperone assemblies.
Protein delivery is a highly regulated event, and we continually add additional levels of complexity to our understanding of this process. During this session, we will further our current understanding about the routes that proteins take on their journeys across membranes.
Peter Walter (University of California, San Francisco) has pioneered our understanding of protein targeting and will discuss novel insights into the events that deliver proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Gunnar von Heijne (University of Stockholm) will provide a detailed description of the requirements for transmembrane domain insertion mediated by the translocon.
William Clemons (California Institute of Technology) will describe new insights into novel pathways for the targeting of the special class of tail-anchored membrane proteins.
The next session, "Factors Modulating Protein Quality Control," will highlight recent advances in our understanding of how proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytoplasm misfold and are then recognized by distinct quality-control processes.
Jeffrey Brodsky (University of Pittsburgh) will describe novel approaches in which factors required for endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation, or ERAD, have been identified and characterized.
Richard Wojcikiewicz (State University of New York Upstate Medical School) will provide a fascinating example in which the regulated ERAD of a housekeeping protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, the IP3 receptor, is achieved.
Tricia Serio (Brown University) will discuss how things can go wrong on the other side of the membrane: Prions are infectious proteins that aggregate in the cytoplasm and cause disease. Her talk will feature new data on how prion conformation and chaperone association are linked to aggregate formation.
The last session will highlight some of the connections between defects in protein biogenesis and associated diseases.
First, Edward Fisher (New York University) will describe how apolipoprotein B is degraded in cells, an event that is connected intimately to lipid metabolism, cholesterol transport and heart disease.
Phyllis Hanson (Washington University School of Medicine) will discuss the molecular basis for a neurological disorder that arises from a defective form of an ER-resident, chaperone-like protein.
Finally, Jason Gestwicki (University of Michigan) will discuss new approaches to identifying small-molecule modulators of chaperone action and their use in disease models.

So today I thought it would be very educational if I made a lesson on something out of Egypt. Up next, we will learn "how to draw the Pyramids of Giza", step by step. These pyramids are also called or known as Pyramid of Khufu, and the Pyramid of Cheops. These triangular shaped structures are located on the border of El Giza located in Egypt. People who study Ancient Egyptian history think that the Great Pyramid was built to be a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu around 2560 BCE. When you first see one of these pyramids you stand in amazement and awe of their structural beauty and complexity. It is said that each brick laid is about three feet high or up to an average persons waist. Just looking up towards the point of the pyramid makes one think how in the world did people of those days have the type of technology to make such massive, uniformed buildings using only rope, wood, and hands. Of course we all know that it wasn't slaves who worked and built the structures as historians believed, it was in fact paid labor workers that most likely did the buildings. Did you know that the Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and biggest of the three pyramids in Giza Necropolis? It's also true that almost all of the Egyptian pyramids are found by the west banks of the Nile. I also heard that the Great Pyramids of Giza align perfectly with the three stars located in the middle of the consolation Orion. I don't know how true that is, but if it's a fact, how cool would that be? Anyways, drawing the Pyramids of Giza will be fun and very educational. So go ahead and grab your rulers because you are going to need them. Adios people and enjoy!

The Hungry Brain: Outsmarting the Instincts That Make Us Overeat
Stephan J. Guyenet; illustrated by Shizuka N. Aoki
The Hungry Brain
, author Stephan Guyenet poses a conundrum: why are obesity rates soaring despite increased education about the dangers of overweight? The answer, he says, is that our brains are hardwired to overeat -- the remnant of a now-irrelevant survival mechanism from millions of years in the past. He also summarizes research on the functions of insulin, how appetite works, and the importance of sleep. The last chapter, "Outsmarting the Hungry Brain," brings together all the factors, explaining in six easy guidelines how to resist when the brain calls out for overconsumption.
Publishers Weekly
calls this book "fun, insightful, and important."

The girls were happy to recreate their experiments so you could all see the pictures.
They made dancing bees - Tulip kindly describes how to make them.
Rose made a hungry spider - we used colours on the flies he had to eat but you could easily use numbers or shapes instead to create an extra learning activity.
They measured the force of attraction using a ruler and paperclip - we started at the 5cm mark and slowly moved in until the paperclip jumped to the magnet. (about 2cm distance)
they then decided to see if a stronger magnet would have a stronger force of attraction - following the same process as above but using 2 then 3 magnets (and yes - worked at 2.5cm and 3cm)
The floating butterfly was probably the most finicky activity - basically a butterfly cutout with a paperclip stuck to the back, cotton then tied to the paperclip and sellotaped to the base. The idea it to get the butterfly to float but not attach to the magnet, only Lilly managed this as everyone else's got stuck to the magnet (including mine)
Proving a magnet could work through a solid was the easiest - used a maze printed on card and the magnet underneath to move the object through the maze.
They also decided to see if a magnet would work through a liquid - cup of water and the magnet outside.
Sunflower's favourite was repulsion skating. We used a laminated sheet of paper (to provide a lovely smooth surface) and two magnets. By placing them S to S (or N to N) they repel but if you let one magnet loose and push them together the loose magnet will dance and turn until it connects NS. Sunflower said these reminded her of ice skaters.
Car Repulsion - to measure the distance a like pole will repulse a like pole.
They straped a magnet to the roof of a plastic toy car and laid it alongside a ruler, next they took it in turns to see how far their magnet would push the car (as you can see this did involve some cheating with the girls 'stepping' over the stating line)
The Mag - Lev train was made and researched
The bouncing magnets were Rose's favourite (pencil stuck in Styrofoam with washer magnets like pole to like pole)
and my favourite was the electro magnet. The girls thought I was mad when I popped this tray out and told them we would make it into a magnet because 'Mummy copper doesn't work - it isn't magnetic'
Don't you just love when they have to rethink the world :)
We also discussed how iron will only make a temporary magnet using this method but steel would make a permanent magnet.
Now to get you all stated having magnetic fun I have a little giveaway planned - it's open worldwide so feel free to join in. I will close the giveaway on Fri 7th Oct 20:00 BST and draw a winner using Random.org.
the winner will receive the above set containing: magnet, plastic bead, cotton, paperclips, packet of ion filings, 2 ring/washer magnets, maze and instruction booklet with 7 activities in.

Buy looking at how to draw a cat (I love cats, they are elegant, independent and they give you back a lot), I dived into some art works and lessons which I would have not expected.
You can click on the links to start exploring some of my articles...
Emil Munier (1840-1890), "Trois Amis" (also known as Favorite Pets), an academic artist, symbolist, pupil of Bouguereau...French culture of the XIX century...with a cat! This painting raised "furore" at the 1885 Salon and was later reproduced in many prints. Very popular indeed. Munier was the Painter of children and of kitten and dogs...French culture was synonym of high-class at that time...
Detail of "Trois Amis", 1885, by Emil Munier
Leonardo da Vinci drawings- studies of how to draw a cat (and a dragon). The proportions are sometimes at odd with the cats we see today. But I think these are realistic cats of the 15th-16th century that Leonardo saw around him! Our "modern" cats are the result of many man-made inter-breedings which started about 100 years. ago. In any case, Italian culture also include love for cats (ever been to Rome?)...
Leonardo da Vinci Vitruvian Man.This icon of Italian culture, is an idealistic represenation of the perfect body but it's far from the real natural body proportions...
Martens De vos, Allegory of the Seven Liberal arts, 1590, Oil on oak panel, 147x200cm, private Collection. Here we can see the "7" arts: Grammatic, Dialectic, Rhetoric, Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, Astrology
Bernardo Strozzi, Allegory of Painting, Scuplture and Architecture, Saint Petersburg, Hermitage, 1640 ca., oil on canvas, cm. 152 x 140. The "figurative" arts , that is. This was before the Illuminism time.
Pombeo Batoni, Allegory of the Arts. Here, we have the "5" arts: painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry. Painted in 1740, fully Illuminism time. Today we also include engraving, dance, performing arts, decorative arts, cinema and video-art.I couldn't find any modern painting with such an allegory...Anybody volunteers?
Aesthetics,our modern reasoning on what art and beautiful art is, started in the 1700s by lay people who begun to talk about and spontaneously comment the art objects - both past and present - they saw . Philosophers like Vico, Baumgartner, Kant and Hegel discussed deeply on it...
But roughly, Arts were considered detached from the utility in daily life. And Crafts were not arts.
This until the second half of the 19th century when industrialization started to mass produce objects. Objects were previously only made by hand and by craftsmen.
With movements like the "arts and crafts" in the UK (where industrialization was born) and William Morris, the Art Nouveau or Jugend Stil or "secessione", the idea of mass producing objects for dayly use became common.
Then, the idea of beauty, slowly entered the mass-production of objects, notably with the invention of cars and later in ever wider fields. Thanks also to great architects like Le Corbusier, Mies, Gropius and LLoyd Wright. Today, we call these "industrial" artists "designers"
A few years ago, we have started sharing ideas all over the world with the Internet. We live in a society where we decide what is beautiful like in the 1700s.
The Execution of Lady Jane Grey - This painting is what art was all about before the Impressionists and Picasso (Delacroix was still not appreciated at all). It's now at the National Gallery in London.
The painter is Paul Delaroche, a now (unjustly) forgotten painter who created a sensation with this work at the Paris Salon of 1834...
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce."View from the Window at Le Gras", 25.8 x 29.0 cm. Dated ca1826. Technically, this is a heliograph, and is kept in the original frame in a super controlled environment because of its fragility. Don't adjust your screen it's really like this and even at the site (the Harry Ransom Center) you can barely see anything.
But this is the first documeted photograph. It's in Austin at the University of Texas, USA - the Ransom Center, yes. The picture was taken in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes (Bourgogne, Eastern France). Beethoven was till alive (died the following year in 1827), while Napoleon was buried only 5 years earlier and it was more or less the time of the painting above. Nobody noticed the birth of a new art. Photography took off slowly from the 1840s...
This is a retouched reproduction of the first photograph above (done in 1956). We can see something now: roofs, great! But what a giant leep for humanity!
His inventor, was a bad draughtsman frustrated with his incapacity to draw and he wanted to solve his problem...
The camera obscura was in reality well known even before photography...Read here or watch this.
Thomas Le Clear, 1865 - Interior with Portraits; MET exhibition, American Stories: painting of Everyday Life, 1765-1915.
The debate around photography and painting was already well alive and strong by the end of the American Civil War. This painting was on commision by the elder brother of the two children...who died prematurely 15 years earlier. A clear message from the artists on the superiority of paintings over photography able to recreate what reality cannot...The photographer is also using a dull background in contrast with the colorfull image of the painting.
But photography, as a new medium, was not only seen negatively by painters and groups such as the Pre-Raphaelite circle was a vibrant mix of painters, photographers, and writers.
Photography has affected the visula arts and our way of looking at things much more deeply than we imagine...
However, there are three main problems with using reference photographs:
The interaction with the new technology and painting became even larger with the invention of the motion pictures, the film industry that is. Moreover, the appearance of that giant of Art and the biggest catalyst of all arts and gendres which is Picasso, narrative paintings such as the ones above became less and less in favour of more abstract paintings. Narrative was to movies. The film industry and TV has an even larger impact on us today...
"It takes a great deal of strong personality to survive the art school training. Hard nuts that the art schools can't crack and devour get through and become artists."
"The idea of taking up art as a calling, a profession, is a mirage. Art enriches life. It makes life worth living. But to make a living at it—that idea is incompatible with making art."
John Sloan, Gist of art
But this website is also (and more simply) about how to draw a cat! Or How to paint flames...an invitation for art-minded people to explore new fields and start something totally different.
In the end, photography started BECAUSE of drawing...
A website for creative people to learn to draw and paint. To see maybe unusual things...airbrush kicks, perhaps?...silhouette art?...and Scherenschnitten...?
We want to be speaking not only about art..., Italian culture, French culture, modern times...
...but also share a general awareness of fine
...and just fun with art and crafts

Rachel Brown (left) and Kasey Lange (right) received weekly awards for performances against Dartmouth (Harvard Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the final round of weekly Ivy League softball awards for the 2011 season, freshman third baseman Kasey Lange and junior pitcher Rachel Brown took home league Player and Pitcher of the Week awards, the league announced Tuesday. It marks the third-straight week that Harvard has had a player named Ivy Player of the Week, while Brown picks up her third Pitcher of the Week honor of the season.
Lange played a huge role in helping the Crimson cap its regular season schedule with a sweep of Dartmouth this past weekend. She posted a .688 batting average for the week, pounding 11 hits in four games, including two doubles and three home runs, against the Big Green. She also drove in nine runs on the weekend and slugged an impressive 1.375 while playing error-free third base.
Lange started the Dartmouth series with a three-run home run and went 4 for 4 in Game 2 Saturday, picking up another RBI and scoring a pair of runs. In Sunday's doubleheader, Lange went 3 for 4 from the plate and launched a home run in each game, driving in another run in Game 1 and four more in the second game. Her Game 2 long ball, a two-run shot to center, invoked the eight-run rule in the sixth inning, pushing the score to 10-1 and ending the game.
Brown picked up wins in each of her three appearances against the Big Green, setting a new program record for victories in a season with 20. The first game of the series saw Brown allow just one run on three hits to go along with six strikeouts in a complete-game victory. Brown earned her second win of the weekend in 1.1 innings of relief work in Game 1 Sunday, helping Harvard hold on to a 10-9 victory, and went four innings in Game 2 for her third win of the series. In 12.1 innings pitched this weekend, Brown posted a staggering 0.57 earned-run average, allowing just six hits and one run while fanning 14.
The Crimson looks to claim its first Ivy League title since 2007 in the League Championship Series against Cornell or Penn this weekend at Soldiers Field.

Lifehacker.com Android app directory
The default Android gallery is a nice enough app, but if you want something with a few more features—like password-protecting certain photos or sorting them however you want—QuickPic is our favorite gallery replacement.
Platform: Android
Price: Free
- View photos and videos stored on your phone in either grid of list view
- Lightning-fast thumbnail rendering
- Full-screen browsing with swipe gestures and sensor-based rotation
- Crop, rotate, and resize photos from the gallery
- Sort photos by name or date
- Set photos as wallpaper, contact icons, or share with any other app
- Exclude or include certain folders in your gallery
- Password-protect photos you don't want others to see
- Lots of different view modes and options
Where It Excels
QuickPic is simple, but offers one of the smoothest gallery experiences you'll get on Android. Thumbnails render faster than almost any other gallery app we tried, and the built-in editing features are pretty handy. Excluding folders (like music folders with album art) is a must-have feature, and being able to hide and password-protect photos is good for more...um, sensitive pictures. It's also completely free with no ads, which is a big plus.
Where It Falls Short
QuickPic has all the extra features a basic user would want, but it's lacking in the really advanced features of some other apps, like F-Stop's tagging and sorting features or JustPictures' cloud service support. It'd be nice to see a few more of these in QuickPic, but as long as it provides such a smooth, easy experience, it'll be our favorite.
The Competition
, our former favorite, is the best gallery if you have a lot of photos stored on Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, 500px, and other cloud services. It has a beautiful looking gallery with access to all these services, as well as many of the features of QuickPic (though sadly, no editing features, which is a big downside). It also won't show your pictures in perfect 1:1 pixel ratio, so they'll look a little compressed inside the app. Still, if you use a lot of cloud services, it's hard to beat.
is also worth a look, particularly if you want a lot of advanced features for sorting your photos. It has a powerful tagging feature that embeds your tags and ratings right into the JPG files, and then you can browse by tag as well as the more traditional options. If you have a ton of photos on your phone, this might be the best choice.
is another popular option, and it has a few cool features that make it compelling. While its interface is pretty ugly, your photo grid is laid out in an interesting way, and it has a "delete guard" and undelete feature that's pretty nice, as well as side-by-side image comparison for the few of you who need that.
Lastly, is a pretty popular option, and it's a bit less traditional than the others. Instead of just showing you a grid of each folder, Flayvr separates your folder by "events, " based on date taken and the appearance of the photos, for easy browsing between important moments. It's a pretty cool way to view all your photos in a timeline, so if that sounds cool to you, give Flayvr a try.
There are lots of others we didn't mention, but these are our favorites of the bunch, so let us know your favorite (and why) below!

Six days into 2013, it's a good time to look back at some of the big business stories of 2012. There were quite a few.
In January, economic development pointman BOB LINSCHEID announced he would leave his longtime position with the CHICO ECONOMIC PLANNING CORP., not detailing what might be next.
CEPCO pretty much disappeared, but stepping into its place is Innovate North State, spreading economic development services throughout Northern California. Co-managing with Linscheid is another longtime economic professional, JON GREGORY.
Chico City Manager DAVE BURKLAND retired, which definitely was political news. However, Burkland has long proved a friend of business during his administration, which also included private enterprise treasure Chico Municipal Airport. Hope to see you around, Dave.
Welcome also to new City Manager BRIAN NAKAMURA, who has a keen interest in business here as well.
VALLEY OAK VET CLINIC opened in Chico as the largest animal hospital in the area. It represents a number of small vet hospitals merged into one.
What is impressive is how many more animal-related services the clinic brings to the area, including high-tech treatment that was only available outside the area.
Pets were big elsewhere. Retailers PETCO opened in Oroville, and PETSMART in Chico.
Also arriving in Oroville was apparel giant MARSHALLS. Bringing an additional retail choice to Oroville was a bonus, not to mention the jobs created. Sales for the retailer also added to the revenue pot for the community.
In July, Chico learned about a huge high-tech asset coming to town. Around since 1987, MILESTONE relocated its help center to Chico, mostly hiring locally for its first positions. The company handles technology problems for big companies like Facebook and eBay.
Milestone founder PREM CHAND also received a community pat-on-the-back, being named entrepreneur of the year by Innovate North State. Chand was raised in Biggs and his family had farming operations in Hamilton City.
Technology was a strong point for Chico. Another Internet business that creates programs so media can put advertising on its website will expand. Already at the airport business park, the company will be moving downtown to a building under remodeling. Once the dust is gone, there will be 40-45 people as WANDERFUL MEDIA settles in.
A story without end came about in July as Assemblyman DAN LOGUE invited California Labor Commissioner JULIE SU to Chico. Logue had been getting an earful from businesses throughout his district about problems when it comes to enforcement of labor law.
A standing-room-only crowd assembled in the Chico City Council chambers, anxious to tell their tales as well as hear what changes might be coming.
Next week, four north-state businesses and Logue will be talking with Gov. Jerry Brown.
CHICO MALL was in the news a couple of times. First, there was hoopla about an extensive renovation — the first in several decades. Work took place from ceiling to floor, with a new take on the food court and several other places.
The mall announced it would have a huge new tenant in a long-empty huge spot. DICK'S SPORTING GOODS' arrival in 2013 was announced.
Significant about the Dick's announcement is that it is the first large retailer that's come into the community for some time, at least before the economy dipped, dunked, stumbled and tripped.
We learned late in the fall that a building constructed for and occupied by KRISPY KREME years ago will again produce doughnuts. Opening Jan. 29, the company will be hiring 70 full- and part-timers. To be hired are production workers, shift supervisors and team members.
For a number of decades, agricultural giant WEISS MCNAIR has been a couple of buildings on East Park Avenue with lots and lots of cars in the parking lot. Employing 90 — no wonder all the cars — the company manufactures agricultural equipment like nut sweepers and harvesters. Last year, it announced it is building a new headquarters that will consolidate the two buildings and likely add more jobs.

(1954- )
Peter Qumaluk Itukalla or "Peter-Boy", as he is sometimes called, was born on January 14, 1954 at his parent's winter camp on the outskirts of Puvirnituq. At present, he lives in Puvirnituq with his wife Winnie, and their two children. Peter and his older brother Juanisi [Joanassie Jack Itukalla], are the nephews of the well-known carvers Levi and Inukpuk Qumaluk. His sister is Maggie Ittukallak. Born into such a talented family, which also includes both the late Joe Talirunili, and Davidialuk Alasua Amittu, it is not surprising that Peter became a carver. Although his father, Aisa Aviliaju Itukalla began carving in the early 1950s it was really his grandfather, Pauloosie Oolutaju Itukadluk, who encouraged Peter to carve as a boy of eight years old.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has apparently made a discovery "for the history books," but we'll have to wait a few weeks to find out what the new Red Planet find may be, media reports suggest.
The discovery was made by Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, NPR reported Tuesday. SAM is the rover's onboard chemistry lab, and it's capable of identifying organic compounds — the carbon-containing building blocks of life as we know it.
SAM apparently spotted something interesting in a soil sample Curiosity's huge robotic arm delivered to the instrument recently.
"This data is gonna be one for the history books," Curiosity chief scientist John Grotzinger, of Caltech in Pasadena, told NPR. "It's looking really good."
Grotzinger said the rover team won't be ready to announce just what SAM found for several weeks yet, NPR reported. The scientists want to check and double-check the results, to make sure they're for real.
The $2.5 billion Curiosity rover landed inside Mars' huge Gale Crater on Aug. 5, kicking off a two-year mission to determine if Mars has ever been capable of supporting microbial life.
The car-size robot carries 10 different instruments to aid in its quest, but SAM is the rover's heart, taking up more than half of its science payload by weight.
In addition to analyzing soil samples, SAM also takes the measure of Red Planet air. Many scientists are keen to see if Curiosity detects any methane, which is produced by many lifeforms here on Earth.
A SAM analysis of Curiosity's first few sniffs found no definitive trace of the gas in the Martian atmosphere, but the rover will keep looking.

Aboot Play Reminds Us There Are Many Canadian Game Sites
Last night I attended the IGDA Toronto event on iPhone development and met up with some special friends of mine such as Karen Hollaran who recently joined me in an interview, and Jason MacIsaac from Cerebral Vortex Games.
Towards the end of the presentation section of the evening (while I just happen to have been preoccupied playing a game of Super Monkey Ball on iPhone) I thought I overheard someone from the back mention that they're from "the only Canadian website for gaming news", which I thought was interesting because there are manyyy Canadian video game websites out there. As it turns out, the comment came from a group known as HUDisplay.
It looks like the team over at Aboot Play checked out the "About" page on their website and it made them roll their eyes. I've known and admired Aboot Play for months now and I thought their remarks were funny, if not downright hilarious (probably because I haven't heard "oodles" used in a sentence in some time). They even mention NextGen Player in the article -- twice!
While I'm not going to fling any mud here, I do want to say that Aboot Play is absolutely right about there being a number of great Canadian video game websites. Some of my favourites are Toronto Thumbs, GeneralGames, Dork Shelf, Eh Button, GameFocus, and of course Aboot Play.
It's the end of the work week and I guess there's no better way to celebrate the weekend then with a good old fashion reality check, eh?

Those HUD guys are hilarious and made my Friday morning. I'm thinking the site must just be satire. No one is that oblivious.

I think this might be my new favourite post on NGP. We've drawn comments from the legendary Ryan from Aboot Play and Shaun from Toronto Thumbs, both of which made me laugh out loud. Clinton's comment was good for shits and giggles too.
And well...even Crazy Joe is out to play. Awesome.
Anybody else out there? ;)

Haha, way to make a fool of ourselves, right?
We should've been more clear about our mandate. Didn't really think people would start hearing about us this quickly, but I suppose this'll work out well --> getting our name out there initially from a literary blunder :D
We're definitely not looking to overrun/push out the gaming bloggers [I think ideally we'd like to crush IGN and their FOX-backed bullshit, but that's a long-term goal :) ] --> we know you guys exist in great abundance and do a fantastic job. Don't think of us as some newbie competitor, think of us as a resource to help bring together the entire Canadian Gaming Network.
Our main goal is to take an investigative and highly journalistic approach to the whole thing (injecting some much loved comedy into the mix) and we're looking at doing a bunch of Canadian highlights on developers and other news outlets (such as yourselves).
We would love to get to know each and every one of you - Paul, sitting down and talking to you the other night really helped us flesh out some ideas, so thanks a million for that - so please everybody swing by sometime or drop us a line because we really want to make a go of this, and we know we're not going to be able to do it without you guys on board.
We'll talk soon! :D

Very interesting indeed. Good looking site but definitely a rookie mistake. I wish all the best to HUD and hope they one day turn into half the site NGP is. I just want to say Canada probably has the greatest and most diverse gaming culture and the community is hugely supported if not as mainstream as american culture.

Hey Stephanson,
Thanks for the conversation this past Thursday, it was nice to meet you. I'm always up for some gaming chat and it's cool to hear I helped you flesh out some ideas. I'll definitely be interested in seeing how HUD evolves over time.
I certainly didn't take from our conversation that you're looking to push out the many gaming websites already established in Canada. Admittedly I was surprised when I heard the plug at the tail-end of the IGDA event. Karen, who was sitting beside me, gave me this look of "did you just hear that?" I was so engrossed in my game of Super Monkey Ball I thought I was hearing things. :P
I would be cautiously optimistic about the "Canadian Gaming Network" idea as it's a tough business. Canada already has a large media network called B5Media that brought together dozens of gaming blogs. As it turns out, the economic model just wasn't there and they ended up collapsing their properties down to a core six. It's an interesting case study which I encourage you to check out.
Well, I'm sure I'll see you at future events. Don't be a stranger.
- August 16, 2009 at 4:26 PM
- Paul Hunter said...
It's funny because the post on Aboot Play that started this conversation made me realize just how tight the Canadian gaming sites are becoming. We're really coming together thanks to our individual sites and social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.
I also think it's cool how we're supporting each other out -- that's great to see. As I'm sure I've mentioned many times in the past, I'm always interested in hearing about and posting the cool news from Eh Button. Thanks for continually keeping me in the loop!
