All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God. Our worship is poor because our knowledge of God is poor; our knowledge of God is poor because our preaching is poor. But when the word of God is expounded in all its fullness, and the congregation begins to glimpse the glory of the living God, they bow down in solemn awe. It is preaching which accomplishes this. That is why preaching is unique and irreplaceable.~John Stott, The Challenge of Preaching

If you love oriental food and would love to create it at home, you may have considered buying a wok. Having your own wok makes it much easier to cook authentic tasting Chinese or oriental food.
Woks come in a variety of materials including stainless steel, electric, non-stick and aluminum. Carbon steel woks are very popular with chefs as they relatively inexpensive, easy to clean and conduct heat well.
If you have purchased a carbon steel wok then you will need to ensure it is seasoned for best results.
Read our latest article on how to season your carbon steel wok.

Marseille midfielder Joey Barton has engaged in a row with former Manchester City team-mate Dietmar Hamann on social networking website Twitter.
The war of words began after the former Germany international took exception to a Barton rant regarding the running of his former club Newcastle.
However, the QPR loanee responded in typically brusque fashion, leading to the pair exchanging insults at regular intervals.
Here is a selection of the exchange:
DH: "Joey do yourself a favour and stay out of club politics QPR and NUFC have paid you well for playing not to commentonrecruitment"
JB: "trying to give me stick you cheeky man. Get your own life in order first... #peopleinglasshouses"
DH: "I never said a bad word about my ex clubs and I never will as that's called respect and dignity Joseph .You got a lot to learn"
JB: "only cos your trying your ******** off to get a job now your skint. Don't try a be all self righteous u blert. I know u!
"what about they way I seen you prepare for a game. That dignified? Worst pro I've ever seen Youve got more front than Harrods"
DH: "My life was in order well before yours you should light a candle for Fernandes and Llambias every day for paying you that money"
JB: "you earned a few quid yourself. U choose to spunk it. Don't hate me cos ur a **** up!
"u WHERE a good player. More to life than football, u nugget...
"if you wanna have it out publicly. Am here all day mate. Not having idiots like you talking like u actually have a clue!
"you where a good player. Won more than me, yeah. Thats were you en mate on the pitch. Ur life's a car crash. #pipedown
DH: "The problem is that you think because you play in France you think you are an international player #farfromit"
JB: "like being a family man. Being honest. Being loyal. Being a man. Being able to look at yourself in the mirror. Can u do that?"
DH: "Yes I do look in the mirror. I made mistakes but don't forget where you come from.Dont bite the hand off that feeds you"
JB: "don't be getting all self righteous. If I were you i'd think twice about trying to be clever or giving ANYBODY stick."
DH: "Joseph I won't get personal as Twitter is not the place to do that but don't think you are bigger than you are"
JB: "before you get fully emptied out publicly, you blert. You've got my number. You know where to find me 24/7"
DH: "No problem Joseph lets see each other in 5 years I hope I don't have to go to Walton #prison
"You said you want to boil burglars alive last week ..get a grip son and concentrate on your football ...England international
JB: "champions leagues medals don't make ur wife or kids respect u. Ur life like a car crash mate. Sort ur own house out!"
"Sick of washed up former pro's giving it big portions cos they've wasted their money. Medals don't pay your kids schools fees... #jogon
"I won't however be told be someone I deem vastly inferior as a MAN, how to live my life."
DH: "The medals won't make my kids respect me but im not prepared to punch a child in the face in McDonald's for them to respect me"
"I love a pint but never took drugs in my life be careful what you say England international #dontgetangryjoseph"

Budget $750-1500 AUD
My business partner, Kelsey, and I are currently in the process of starting our own equestrian clothing line - 'Equestrian Collective'.
While manufacturing will take place in China (early 2018), we would like to sit down with a local designer and have some sketchers drawn up - so when we go to the factory, we have a clear idea of how we would like our first collection to look.
We are currently working with a graphic designer on our logo, with the aim of this being finalised mid-August. We know what style we are after and have a few ideas in our head but would love to work with a designer, like yourself, and use your creative flair.
One of our main competitors in the UK, has styles very similar to what we are seeking. Her website is [url removed, login to view] . Our vision is a stylish and modern brand, with a design that is simple elegant and timeless. Our first collection will be limited in its size, with an estimated 5 pieces (Jodhpurs, technical leggings, polo top, long sleeve top and vest – produced in several colours).
Could you please advise if you could be of assistance with this? We would love to come and discuss in further details with you.

Every year on his birthday, Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger receives a package containing framed flowers. The gifts come from all over the world, but Vanger isn't delighted: He suspects they are being sent by the person who did away with his beloved niece, Harriet, 40 years ago.
Harriet used to give him the same present before she vanished. The 82-year-old Vanger knows he's in his final days, and, before he dies, he wants to find out exactly what happened to Harriet. That's the mission that brings together journalist Mikael Blomkvist and rough-around-the-edges researcher Lisbeth Salander in the spellbinding Swedish chiller "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," based on Stieg Larsson's runaway international bestseller.
While Hollywood is already licking its chops to adapt "Dragon" — David Fincher is set to direct, and names like Daniel Craig, Brad Pitt. Kristen Stewart and Ellen Page are being thrown around for the roles of Blomkvist and Salander — it might be very difficult to top director Niels Arden Oplev's film, which ties your nerves in knots before unexpectedly touching your heart.
Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace) and Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) are both wounded souls, although they handle their hurt differently. She sports a splashy tattoo of a dragon's head that covers most of her back, and there are hints that she's had a violent past; he's about to go to jail after losing a slander case, but he faces his sentence with almost complete detachment, as if he's watching his life from a comfortable distance instead of actually experiencing it.
Lisbeth suffers horrific humiliation at the hands of a sadistic "guardian" (Peter Andersson) — the scenes in which he viciously and mercilessly manipulates her into cooperating with his sick schemes are terrifying — while Mikael faces the scorn of his fellow reporters and the loss of his reputation; for both of them, solving this case is much more than a matter of merely bringing peace to an old man.
By learning the truth about what happened to Harriet, they hope to make sense of their own shattered lives.
Screenwriters Rasmus Heisterberg and Nikolaj Arcel masterfully manage to weave together Lisbeth and Mikael's personal crises with a fascinating, sprawling mystery that incorporates power struggles, religious fanaticism, politics, serial killings and tell-tale clues concealed inside seemingly innocuous snapshots. If that was all "Dragon" had to offer, it would be merely a top-flight shocker. But the performances of Nyqvist and Rapace give the movie startling emotional resonance.
Nyqvist, who made a strong impression as the hot-tempered husband in director Lukas Moodysson's "Together" 10 years ago, creates a quietly compelling character whose determination and passion are hidden inside a cool exterior.
Rapace, in contrast, always seems to be on the edge of eruption: Fury and frustration bubble up in Lisbeth's eyes, which are encircled in dark, heavy Goth makeup. She wears a spiked collar and a black leather jacket to keep the world at arm's length, but the costume can't completely bury the sensitivity and vulnerability she's bent on hiding.
One of the many marvelous facets of Rapace's performance is her easy ability to convey Lisbeth's keen intelligence and analytical ability. Even when Lisbeth seems to be withdrawn and sullen, she never shuts down: This world-class computer hacker and formidable street fighter is ever aware of her surroundings and is constantly calculating her next move.
"Dragon" provides such an electrifying ride that you can forgive its slightly shaky climax, which involves a villain taking time out from his dirty work to explain his sordid scheme in detail. It's the standard James Bond finale: Before the bad guy can kill you, he has to talk you to death.
That's a minor misstep in an otherwise enthralling, splendidly told story that leaves the door open for the further Mikael/ Lisbeth adventures.
Good news: The film adaptation of "The Girl Who Played With Fire" opens in select cities in July, and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" should reach American audiences before the end of the year.
Even better news: Rapace and Nyqvist are reprising their roles in the sequels.

I received a letter from my lender saying that the first
payment on my Graduate PLUS loan is due in March. Is this
Many students are receiving notification from their lenders
indicating that the first payment on their Graduate PLUS
Loan is due within the next few months. One of the terms
of the Graduate PLUS loan is that repayment begins 60 days
after the last disbursement of the loan. The last disbursement
for most students' Graduate PLUS loan for the 2006-2007
academic year is in mid January. For this reason, some lenders
are automatically sending out notification that repayment
begins within the next few months.
The lenders on the Office of Financial Aid's preferred
lender list are placing our students into in-school deferment
status in the spring term once they receive verification
of enrollment of at least half time for the spring term.
Enrollment verification is automatically sent out by the
university several times a semester. At IIT Half-time status
is enrollment is 6 credits or more. As long as enrollment
in at least 6 credits is maintained repayment will not begin
until after graduation.
In order to be sure that your loan is placed into in-school
deferment status it is advised that you contact your lender
to verify before the end of January. Please keep in mind
that these terms are specifically for the lenders on our
preferred lenders list. If you did not choose one of the
lenders on our preferred lender list, please contact you
lender as soon as possible to find out if they offer an
in-school deferment option.
If I do not attend class during the summer term will I
have to make payments during the summer?
The lenders on the Office of Financial Aid's preferred
lender list are automatically granting our students in-school
deferment status over the summer term. In order to be sure
that your loan is placed into in-school deferment status
during the summer it is advised that you contact your lender
to verify before the end of the spring term.
Please keep in mind that these terms are specifically for
the lenders on our preferred lenders list. If you did not
choose one of the lenders on our preferred lender list,
please contact you lender as soon as possible to find out
if they offer an in-school deferment option for the summer

Disbursement: February 26, 2007
Disbursement: January 16, 2007
All loan funds, federal, Graduate PLUS and
private, are sent directly to the school according to the
disbursement schedule listed below.
1. When we receive the funds, we must verify
that you are eligible to receive the funds. This process
takes 1-3 business days. When the funds are released
2. The funds are then credited to your tuition
account. You will receive an email from the Bursar's Office
informing you that billing activity has occurred.
3. If a credit balance exists after the funds
have been credited, the Bursar's Office generates a refund
check for you. This process takes 5-7 business days.
4. The Bursar's Office will then notify you
when the check is ready to be picked up.
If you have any questions regarding the financial
aid funds that have been credited to your account, please
contact the Office of Financial Aid.
If you have any questions regarding the status
of your refund check or charges on your account, please
contact the Bursar's Office at 312-906-516
A Renewal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
is designed for students who applied for aid the previous
year. Using the Renewal FAFSA application streamlines the
application process because you do not have to enter basic
information since it is uploaded from the previous year's
To ensure that you will be able to take advantage of the
Renewal FAFSA for next year, please update your addresses
and or email addresses on your current years FAFSA application
so that the Department of Education's Renewal Reminders
are sent to the correct address.
Refund checks are generated by the Bursar's Office and
are available to be picked up at their office (Room 290)
approximately 5-7 business days after a credit has resulted
in a student's account.
The Bursar's Office will send the student an email when
a refund check is available.
As you may be aware, earlier this year Congress approved
a new federal loan for graduate students, the Graduate PLUS
Loan. Unlike undergraduate PLUS loans, where the borrower
is the student's parent, Graduate PLUS loans allow only
the student to be the borrower. Students must meet federal
credit criteria to qualify.
The Graduate PLUS Loan will be beneficial for students
who need additional aid beyond the Federal Stafford and/or
Perkins Loan. Previously, the only option available to these
students was a private loan.
Students in need of additional aid will have to decide
whether to apply for a Graduate PLUS Loan or a private loan
for the 2006 -2007 academic year. Generally, our office
recommends the Graduate PLUS Loan. The primary reason why
this loan is more beneficial to students is the interest
rate, which is fixed at 8.5%. While this may seem like a
high rate when compared with the historically-low Stafford
Loan interest rates of recent years, it is important to
remember that interest rates are rising. The majority of
Chicago-Kent students will not qualify for a private loan
with a rate lower than 8.5%. Even for the few that do, the
Graduate PLUS Loan may still be a better option, since private
loans have variable rates, which are expected to continue
Ultimately, the decision to apply for a private loan or
a Graduate PLUS Loan is yours, and it is one that you should
consider carefully. At the following link you can view a
chart that compares the terms of the Graduate PLUS Loan
and private loans.
If you decide to apply for a Graduate PLUS Loan, the application
process is very similar to that of the private loan. Please
visit the following link (http://www.kentlaw.edu/depts/finaid/federalgraduatesloan.html)
to view a list of our preferred lenders and the chart that
compares the private loan to the Graduate PLUS loan.
Click on the lender of your choice to complete a Graduate
PLUS Loan application. You will need to indicate the amount
that you would like to borrow. Please remember that you
must apply for the full academic year, since we will certify
the loan so that the funds disburse equally between fall
and spring. Also, please be aware that the amount of your
PLUS Loan, combined with the rest of your financial aid
package, cannot exceed the cost of attendance that is determined
by our office. To help you determine the amount of Graduate
PLUS loan funds you will need, please download the Estimated
Cost Worksheet.
If you decide to apply for the private loan instead of
the Graduate PLUS Loan, You must do the following:
Notify the Office of Financial Aid via email at email@example.com
or email@example.com. Apply with your lender. Once your
private loan is approved and completed with your lender,
the Office of Financial Aid will be notified electronically
to complete the school certification request.
If you choose to use a private loan instead of the Graduate
Plus Loan and do not notify our office of your decision,
we will not certify the private loan.
After your application is complete, your lender will contact
our office for certification of your eligibility.
The new Federal Stafford Loan rate for funds
disbursed after July 1 2006 is as follows:
In order to qualify for federal financial
aid for 2006-2007, you must complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA for 2006-2007.
In order to complete the 2006-2007 FAFSA you will need to
provide 2005 income and tax information, so we recommend
that you complete your 2005 tax returns before filing your
FAFSA. However, we also recommend that you complete your
FAFSA as soon as possible to receive full consideration
for financial aid.
You can complete your FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA
online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
If you choose to use a private loan instead of the Graduate
Plus Loan and do not notify our office of your decision,
we will not certify the private loan.
Whether you are applying for a private loan for the first
time this academic year or you are looking to borrow additional
funds, please keep the following in mind:

Discussion and Seriously
FUN Study Guide to:
America's Horrible Histories:
(Who Are You Calling a Woolly Mammoth & Awesome Ancient Ancestors)
By Elizabeth Levy
Illustrated by Daniel McFeeley
"The word horrible comes from the Latin word Âhorree', which means Âto bristle or make your hairs stand on end,' and it's the horrible parts of history that can keep you awake and interested!"  author Elizabeth Levy
Why Is America's History So Horrible?
Well, it's not really horrible, but it can be weird, gross, and downright surprising at times! Elizabeth Levy's books offer a zany but fact-filled journey before recorded history  all the way back to the time of T-Rex. From there, Levy invites readers to explore the evolution of North America and learn about American pyramids, ancient rats the size of cows, and the hairiest mammals including our first ancestors. Levy wants kids to know that America never was a "new" world. At the time of the Greeks and Romans, in the Americas there were great cities, and even pyramids along the Mississippi.
With cartoons, timelines, and "travel" guides to museum exhibits and other landmarks of pre-history, the engaging format of America's Horrible Histories will capture the attention of readers at all levels. Plus, it provides a fresh way to supplement a school social studies or science curriculum. Sassy sidebars and cultural facts throughout the books will have readers laughing while they learn.
So What Are These Books About Anyway?
Who Are You Calling a Woolly Mammoth?
Almost 250,000,000 years ago, North America and other continents were joined as one super-continent called Pangaea (Greek for "All Earth"). In this prehistoric time, it was every dinosaur for himself (or herself), whether roaming alone or in packs. But life back then was much more than hungry dinosaurs. Plants and insects were evolving, too. With the shift in tectonic plates, and climate changes, the Americas drifted west. Pangaea started to break up. When the Ice Age arrived, all-new creatures began prowling the area we now call North America. Soon, two-legged creatures (our distant relatives) joined them!
Levy examines numerous theories on how these North American changes happened, and describes the many ways creatures either adapted or became extinct. Readers have a chance to look at prehistoric facts and see where they fit in this country's history.
Awesome Ancient Ancestors
Picking up where Who Are You Calling a Woolly Mammoth? left off, this book shares theories on how humans came to settle in America  and what they did once they had arrived. When did humans first get here? Did all humans walk or ride across the Beringia Bridge? Why was corn so important to humans? What did people do for fun back then?
Levy introduces readers to numerous ancient peoples  from the Olmecs to the Mound Builders to the Mayans. She explains how people changed from nomadic hunters and gatherers to farmers living in permanent settlements. Her tongue-in-cheek examination of myths, legends, fossils, artifacts, and art shows readers how American civilization, as we know it, got its start. And it was way before Christopher Columbus!
Before You Read the Books  Try This!
Timeline for the Ages
How can we understand history unless we understand the passage of time? We can't! Levy provides ongoing timelines in both books to help show when the prehistoric events she describes happen. But before diving way back in time into America's Horrible Histories, create and discuss a historical timeline based on the world you know today. Make your timeline on a piece of paper or across a blackboard.
First, think about key dates from your own life. When were you born? How old are you now? When were your parents or grandparents born? Mark these dates near the right side, or the end, of the timeline.
Next, think about the lives of other important American historical figures. Where would Abe Lincoln fit on your timeline? How about Christopher Columbus? Plot these dates onto your timeline. They should fall somewhere close to the right side (not in the center, as you might expect!).
Now, think about the books you're about to read, and the time when they take place. Where would 65 million years B.C.E. go your timeline? What about 8000 B.C.E? Now you're really ready  literally  to go back in time!
P.S. Don't toss your timeline! Add to it as you read the booksÂ
"I Was A 2,000 Pound Bison" and Other Writing Prompts
As you read, take time to write while thinking about the facts from the books and using your imagination.
From Who Are You Calling a Woolly Mammoth?
- Read pages 44Â59 and examine the different extinction theories Levy has included. Which theory do you believe? Support your argument with facts. Or, just for fun, invent wacky ideas from your imagination. Did angry space aliens land in a Sauropod's backyard? Did every volcano on Earth erupt at the same time? Could dinosaurs have died because of their own gas, or did they get crisped from staying out in the sun too long?
- Read pages 64Â70. What if you boarded a time machine back to the swamps for a visit with some of the earliest mammals? Describe what you find  from the teeniest to the biggest mammals alive. Which mammal would you want to have as a pet and why?
- Read the top ten list of American Ice Age mammals starting on page 101. Levy describes giant sloths that look like Jabba the Hutt, beavers the size of bears, and even enormous camels. Why do you think the animals were so big? (Hint: there are other clues throughout the book.) Make list of these reasons. If you were a prehistoric mammal, what would you want to be and why?
- It's millions of years ago and you are a human crossing the Beringia Bridge. What five things are you carrying and why? Where are you going?
From Awesome Ancient Ancestors
- If there were an Ice Age version of the hit TV show, Survivor, the winner would be the bison! Why did he survive when other animals didn't? Write a short story about an encounter between a bison and a human. What happens? Go for that gruesome ending it's okay when we're talking about horrible histories!
- Read pages 83Â87. Now, put yourself in the shoes of the first archaeologist who discovered Teotihuacán, the great ancient city located in Mexico. Think about what life in that city must have been like. Research it and describe it. Now, travel to Chaco Canyon. What do you see there? Why is this place so like the Emerald City of Oz in The Wizard of Oz?
- On page 111, Levy describes how Mayans offered blood to the gods so crops would grow. What other rituals did they perform? There are many legends about the power of a Native American "rain dance." Can you think of some other rituals people today perform to get things done?
- Some of the ancient peoples had funny names, like the Stinkards described on page 144. If you were given the task of renaming all the ancient animals and peoples, what would you call them and why? Try to rename them based on how they act, what they look like, or what they eat.
Science, English, and ArtÂ
Oh My!
Even More Activities for You To Do
America's Horrible Histories are about history, of course, but they're about lots of other stuff too. As you read the books, think about how dinosaurs and ancient American civilizations relate to you, living in the twenty-first century. Let Levy's fun facts help you to explore science, art, and more!
Wanna Pangaea?
- Get a flat map of the world (also called a "mercator"). Trace the continents. Then, cut out their shapes in construction paper (or any paper) like the pieces of a puzzle. Now, make Pangaea by pushing them together. What land masses look as though they were fit together before the big break-up?
- When Pangaea split apart, it split into two major masses called "Laurasia" and "Gondwana Land." Using an encyclopedia or the Internet, look up information on these "lost" continents. Where were they moving? As you explore the formation of the seven continents we know today, you can learn about how mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquake zones formed. Big things to think about, even beyond America.
o How did Australia end up down in the Southern hemisphere  and why does it have so many unique plants and animals?
o When India crashed into Asia, the Himalayan Mountains formed so why is Mount Everest still getting taller?
o A woolly mammoth was recently discovered buried deep in Siberia. What do you think lies underneath the snow and ice of frozen places on Earth like Greenland or Antarctica?
- Ancient peoples often explain natural occurrences with myths and legends. Make up your own myth about how and why Pangaea came apart. How could you imagine what happened to Pangaea happening again to North America or any of the other continents? Will parts of the world ever crash into one another again?
Dinosaurs are Dyn-o-mite!
- Choose a North American dinosaurs and research it. When did it live? What were the differences between dinosaurs from the Palezoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras? Put your research together with others to create a group dinosaur timeline.
- Levy has included "travel" boxes in both books that explain where you go to see fossils, bones, and other prehistory relics. How many places have you visited? Is there somewhere special you would like to go?
- Look for fossils online, too. Take a virtual visit to the Petrified Forest in Arizona, or explore the La Brea Tar Pits in California. There are special places all over North America where fossils are the main attraction! Where will you go? Try these search words: fossil, paleontologist, or anthropologist.
- Check out page 47 in Who Are You Calling a Woolly Mammoth? You can make your own Dino-Trading cards using facts from the books and facts you gather on your own. Write these "Dino-Stats" on the back of each card. Have your friends do the same  and swap 'em!
- Imagine you have been chosen to design your own amusement park. You decide that the theme will be "Prehistoric Dinosaurs." What are the rides and what is the amusement park layout going to look like?
Make Me A Prehistoric Fossil!
- Well, we don't want you to be a fossil  but you can make your own. Here's what you will need: plaster of Paris or molding clay (available at any crafts store). Press leaves, shells, sticks, and other objects into the plaster or clay before it has dried. After it hardens, write about what these fossils could tell someone from the future. Do the objects tell a story about people, animals or a special place? What do the objects say about our climate? How do the objects help to describe our habitat? For example, if you do this exercise and fill your fossil with shells and sand, chances are you live by the beach.
- You bug me! Get a tube of clear-drying glue and some waxed paper. Take it outside on a sunny day. Leave a glob of glue and wait to see what it attracts. Chances are that a wandering ant or mosquito may find its way into the glue. Once the bug is trapped in the glue, add another drop on top. Wait for the glue to harden. It will be transparent  your version of a bug that has been found in amber. Can you examine its parts?
- Does your state have a state fossil? Nebraska's state fossil is the mammoth, while California's is the saber-toothed cat. Look up facts about your state fossil or a neighboring state fossil. If your state doesn't have one, what do you think it should be?
Ancient Travel Brochures
- Glacier Getaway with Free Woolly Mammoth Breakfast Every Morning! Pretend you're a travel agent from the year 40,000 B.C.E. What would you feature inside your travel brochure to encourage prehistoric peoples to visit North America? What would the "hotels" be like? What food would be served? What would be your travel warnings? What would you advise visitors to pack? Where are some of the most popular destinations and why?
- We Build It  You Come! Now, prepare a special brochure especially for more "recent" ancient peoples. Try planning a "Visit to the Mound Builders." Then, imagine a "Trip With the Mayans." What's special about traveling back in time to visit these civilizations? What do the "visiting" settlements look like? Are tourists welcome at ancient Mayan Death sacrifices  or are the tourists the sacrifices? Yikes!
What's On the Menu?
- Hungry for chocolate? In her books, Levy explains how ancient Americans ate and grew some very cool foods that the rest of the planet didn't even know existed! Take some time to research the history of some of these foods and how they (and we!) changed the world. Sometimes they made it better sometimes not. Investigate!
- Hungry for Pleistocene? The Pleistocene Epoch (Ice Ages) lasted from about 1.65 million years ago until 10,000 years ago. Many of the animals from that era are now extinct, but others live in select states. Following are two lists. The one labeled "Extinct" is a list of some animals that are extinct. The other labeled "Survivors" includes ancient animals that still survive in the U.S.A. Divide up your group so that each person researches one of these animals. Look up information about them (and other animals mentioned in both books), then combine your findings and discuss why you think some species died out while others survived to the present day.
- Ground Sloth
- Beautiful Armadillo
- Short-faced Skunk
- American Lion
- Saber-toothed tiger
- Grasshopper Mouse
- Starnose Mole
- Northern Bog Lemming
- Snowshoe Hare
- Cockroach
Weather or Not
- Take a look at how "cool" prehistory really is. How did Antarctica cool off the rest of the planet and create new land on some continents? How did cool weather make grass? Why did grass become so important to animals and people in North America?
- In prehistoric times, animals adapted their bodies and feeding habits based on changes in climate. For example, in Who Are You Calling a Woolly Mammoth? we learn that when it got cooler, animals like bison and cattle developed multi-chamber stomachs in order to digest grass properly. Think of other ways in which animals have evolved as they adapted to climate changes.
- Have you ever watched The Weather Channel? You can see how different temperatures and storm systems all over the country can affect where you live. How do we adapt our "settlements" (i.e. houses, apartments, farms) to fast changing weather patterns? We use lightning rods, tornado cellars, and flood walls, to name a few. Make lists of the ways that different parts of the country adapt their lives to deal with weather. Don't forget major weather events like El Nino and La Nina. What about global warming?
Don't Be Petrified by Petroglyphs (And Other Ancient Art)
- Rock On!
Materials you need: rough sandpaper (a few sheets), black spray paint, and a nail or sharp-tipped object (to scratch design).
- Apply black spray paint unevenly on your sandpaper so it looks like the surface of a rock. Let it dry.
- Cut sandpaper into several, equal-sized pieces.
- Prehistoric people used symbols on cave art to relate ideas and messages. Make up your own symbols and carefully scratch them into the pieces of painted sandpaper. Scratch the outline of a bison, or a fish, or maybe your little brother!
- Mix and match your rock art to make up different messages. You could decorate your bedroom door with an ancient "Keep Out" message if you want!
P.S. If you're really feeling expressive, step outside with some chalk and draw petroglyph symbols right on the real rocks or the sidewalk.
- This Art's For the Birds
In Awesome Ancient Ancestors, Levy describes giant bird art created and rediscovered in a place called Poverty Point, Louisiana (see page 62). Enormous ridges made the shape of a giant bird that could be seen from overhead. Make your own art based on this idea. What shape or symbol would you make and why?
Materials you need: pencil, colored construction paper, white glue, and colored or beach sand.
- Put down a piece of paper and trace your design or symbol in pencil. Make a silly face, another giant bird, or "Stick Man." Anything goes!
- Drip a trail of glue over the pencil marks so now your symbol is outlined in glue.
- Sprinkle colored sand over the glue and let dry.
- Getting A-HEAD of Prehistoric People
In Awesome Ancient Ancestors, Levy describes the creation of giant head sculptures by the Olmecs that stood more than 9 feet tall and weighed up to 50 tons each. What was the significance of these heads? You can make a slightly smaller version of your own with this simple paper-mache recipe. Materials you need: powdered wallpaper paste, water, one inflated balloon, strips of newspaper, and a pin. You'll also need some time  the mold will take time to dry between layers!
- Use your balloon to make the basic head shape.
- Make your paste solution mixing together the water and the powdered paste.
- One at a time, dip each strip into your paste, making sure it's completely covered, but not clumpy. Lay the strip over the mold and press it into place with your fingers. Not too hard-don't injure the balloon!
- Dip next strip and overlap the first. Repeat until balloon is covered.
- Let these strips dry, then repeat the procedure again, creating a second layer of paper over the first dried layer. As you build layers, begin to shape the newspaper into a nose, eyes, mouth and other head features.
- Once the paper has all dried into the mask shape you want, stick a pin through the paper into the balloon. It should pop and you have your own Olmec or Mayan head!

I don't just use jokes to make us laugh at our history (because a lot of what's happened over the years isn't all that funny, actually); but I do think that we've got to learn to laugh at ourselves and see how much we have in common with people through all ages. If you can share a joke, it's hard to hate . . . history is too important to be taken seriously because kids have to learn that we all do odd, strange things and no one has a monopoly on making mistakes!

Web Search
Called a Web search, the process of looking for information online helps determine the usefulness of the Internet to particular users. The most common form of an Internet search takes place using a search engine to facilitate although many sites offer a specific type of in house search relevant to their niche such as a flight search though a site like www.webjet.com.au or www.flightsaustralia.com.au
Search engines evolved from the simple lists of Web servers that were popular in the early 1990s into the form that now is recognizable. Right now, most Internet users visit the most popular search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo to perform a Web search. The results displayed are typically prioritized by relevance, so those who search the Web can quickly find material that is relevant to their needs. Without a search engine, finding information and resources on the Internet is very difficult, especially when specific servers and domains containing desired information are unknown.
The reason a search engine helps people search for information online is because they regularly crawl the Internet looking for servers and indexing the information they contain. As long as Web hosts are discoverable to the search engine crawlers, the information they contain will at some point be included in the index.
Because different search engines use different algorithms or methods to crawl Internet hosts, they often display different results. Making a thorough search of the Web may therefore require multiple searches using different search engines. To help automate the process of searching multiple sites, users can use meta-search engines which combine the search results from multiple search engines into a single comprehensive list. Although the meta-search engine concept has never caught on as a mainstream way to search the Web, it does offer new ways to make faster and smarter online searches.
Hosts that are not discoverable on the Internet using a variety of techniques comprise the so-called invisible Web. These are Web hosts that either block search engines from crawling them or they are hosts that use non-ICANN domains. Although some efforts to facilitate Web search on the invisible Web exist, finding information among those alternative sites is still difficult for most people. Many Internet experts suggest that a large portion of the Internet is inaccessible by search engine users, meaning that a vast amount of information located on the Internet is inaccessible to most people.

As you very likely to be already aware, today we've suffered a major service outage - it was caused by major water damage to the computer network in a our data centre and it took nearly 8 hours fix.
Firstly I'd like to offer my apologies for the interruption in service and thank all of our members for their patience whilst we fixed the issue.
The service is largely back up and running now - the exception is new activations which are currently being queued and our service teams are working on a fix.
Some of you have asked about compensation - we're going to focus on fixing the issues we've had and make sure we have a stable service first - and then we'll sit down think of ways to make it up to you.
We'll continue to post updates on the support community so click here for the latest news.
Thanks once again for your patience.
Mike Fairman
CEO giffgaff
Update 21:15
Thanks for everyone's comments - especially those appreciating our way of keeping you up to date!
In response to a few of the issues raised...
Porting - those that were scheduled for today may have been delayed - we're continuing to work on these as fast as we can.
Texts - we think that for most of the outage, inbound text messages should have been delivered. Whether those that failed initially will ultimately be delivered will be determined largely by the re-try policies of the network from which they were sent. In other words, you may or may not get them depending on which network sent them.
Root cause - we will of course investigate this and report on the conclusions. Our data centre does have an uninterruptable power supply and backup generators but its possible that even if these worked the water damage to the network gear was sufficient to bring the service down.
Not a big deal but if text messages were sent during the outage are we still going to receive them or will never know if there were any? Gintare
Personally why all the negative stuff directed at GiffGaff is beyond me, like they could stop what happened.
All this compensation talk is loblox . This sort of things happen and we are all good and up and running again.
People get a great service from GiffGaff and cheap calls texts net services and they spit their dummies out when theres a technicle issue.
Well to those who complained and moaned and threatened to go to a different network, 'JUST * OFF' and do it, we don't need you cry babies.
Many thanks for getting back to somthing like normal,
no-one like the loss of service,however it happens ,
as you pointed out fix then address so that we all learn somthing ,
in life when things go pear shaped and you cannot fix it.
That s a problem,
kind regards Norman [ 5 gifffaffers here ]
Thanks for doing your best to fix the problem, accidents do happen :-)
Good to see this post, unlike all the "give me some compensation" posts .
At the end of the day, water mains burst all the time and cause all sorts of problems. My water was off over Christmas 2 years ago due to a burst water main. These events are out of anyone's control or prediction, so on this occasion I'm not convinced there is a case to answer for giffgaff to offer compensation.
Many thanks to the Giffgaff team for the constant updates today. :-)
appreciated the updates all day, i did loose money from people not being able to get in contact with me for work.But, its all cool, **bleep** happens, I think its a fairly sad state in todays society when people loose signal for a few hours and get so upet and irrate about it, unnescessary, over a few lost poorly written lines of text.

Get expert-backed healthy eating tips to help you reach your goals
If you've ever tried to lose weight (and who hasn't), you've got to be mindful of whose advice you take. Your colleague says you need to cut out carbs. Your gym buddy knows the secret is to stop eating after 7 p.m. Your Facebook friend swears she'll be in swimsuit shape by March if she only eats once a day. Your husband, well, he sneezes and the weight seems to fall off.
But do any of these tips really work? To help you shed those extra pounds—and keep them off—without starving yourself, ditching your social life, or eating only at odd times of the day, we talked to experienced nutritionists for real-world advice you can actually live with, day in and day out. We'll tell you how to focus on the delicious foods you can add to your diet, why you should be eating more often (yes!), the fat loss benefits of more sleep, and how even taking a few deep breaths can put you on a successful path to weight loss.
Here, the 25 best diet tips of all time. Say buh-bye to hunger and hello skinny jeans.

You make poor decisions when your judgment is compromised. Hunger is a primal urge that's difficult to deny. When you're famished, it's hard to hold off until you can find healthy food. As a result, you end up eating anything that's not nailed down, and typically, regretting it. Planning meals and snacks works wonders to head off the intense hunger that can do a number on your best intentions to eat right. Always tote healthy snacks, such as an ounce of pistachios, a hard-cooked egg and some whole grain crackers, Greek yogurt, or 1/4 cup raisins. Don't skip meals or skimp on them, either. Here, 6 portable, protein-packed snacks that fill you up!
—Elizabeth Ward, RD, author of MyPlate for Moms, How to Feed Yourself & Your Family Better
Everyone has a calorie budget, whether you're trying to maintain your weight or lose a few pounds. I've found that people ignore this simple fact. Your calorie budget allows you to build a healthy diet, and it helps prevent frustration about weight control. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans provide suggested daily calorie intakes based on gender, age, and physical activity level. When you know your calorie budget, then you can plan on how many servings of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and other protein sources to include every day.
—Elizabeth Ward
More from Prevention: 8 Things You Didn't Know About Calories But Should
People are notorious for overestimating how many calories they burn during physical activity, which is often far less than actual calories burned. When you overestimate the calories you burn during exercise, you may eat more than you need, making weight loss and maintenance difficult. High-intensity exercise may drive women to eat more, and moderate exercise may be the key to easier weight control. To see how many average calories you're burning during everyday activities and exercise, check out this chart from the CDC. You can see how easy it is to wipe out the calories burned during a workout with just a few extra nibbles during the day.

At each meal include one food that is any of these colors. By focusing on these foods, you'll be sure to get some produce on your plate and won't have space on your plate for higher-calorie fare.

Water is essential for keeping the body hydrated and we're actually more likely to retain "water weight" by not drinking enough of it rather than by having too much. The needs of each person will be different, but the general recommended daily amount is 64 ounces. It also takes up space in your stomach so you'll feel fuller while taking in less calories. Find out the best non-boring ways to get in your recommended servings of water.
—Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy Lakatos Shames
Salt is a big contributor to weight gain and often a reason why the numbers on the scale aren't going down. The average American consumes twice the amount of salt they should have each day, leading to weight gain, bloating, and the inability to lose stubborn pounds. Salt can also make you feel hungrier and thirstier, so check the nutrition labels for high sodium levels and choose fresh over packaged or restaurant foods. You'll see a puffy face and belly go down quickly just by cutting back on your sodium intake and choosing more natural foods. Here's how to start reducing sodium in your diet.
—Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy Lakatos Shames
Adding hot spices to your meals can help curb hunger, according to a study in the British Journal of Nutrition. Need another reason to add some heat? Scientists at the State University of New York at Buffalo found that capsaicin (a compound found in chilies) triggers your brain to release feel-good endorphins. A full belly and a good mood? Pass the hot sauce!

More from Prevention: Foods That Boost Your Metabolism
A University of Texas Health Science Center study found that the more diet sodas a person drank, the greater their risk of becoming overweight. Downing just two or more cans a day increased waistlines by 500%. Why? Artificial sweeteners can disrupt the body's natural ability to regulate calorie intake based on the sweetness of foods, suggested an animal study from Purdue University. That means people who consume diet foods might be more likely to overeat, because your body is being tricked into thinking it's eating sugar, and you crave more.
A separate study found that even just one diet soda a day is linked to a 34% higher risk of metabolic syndrome, the group of symptoms including belly fat and high cholesterol that puts you at risk for heart disease. Whether that link is attributed to an ingredient in diet soda or the drinkers' eating habits is unclear. But is that one can really worth it? (Still not convinced? Check out five more health risks associated with drinking diet soda.)
Making sure an eating occasion has carbs, protein, and fat instead of just counting calories (like a 100-calorie pack) delivers better energy and fat loss results by giving the body what it needs, like quick- and longer-digesting nutrients so you stay full longer. See ashleykoffapproved.com/nutritionplan for guidance.

By keeping food within eyesight as you are eating, you may find yourself reaching for a second helping even if you really aren't hungry. Place the food on the kitchen counter or stove, portion out a serving on your plate and then sit down at the table and eat. This way, if you want additional servings, you'll have to get up, which helps you to be more mindful of what you are eating.
—Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDE author of Belly Fat Diet For Dummies
We know you've heard this time and time again. Well, that's because keeping a food record is vital to losing weight and keeping it off long term. A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that those who kept regular food records lost twice as much weight as those who didn't. When keeping a food record, make sure to track what you ate, how much you ate, anything you added to the food (condiments, oils, etc.), and what you drank. Also tracking your mood and appetite can be helpful and insightful into learning about your eating patterns as well!

People who ate a low-calorie vegetable soup before a meal consumed 20% fewer calories at the meal, according to research from Penn State Unniversity. Have a low-calorie broth-based veggie soup before your largest meal of the day to reduce calories and lose weight without feeling hungry.

Rapid eaters are often heavier than slow eaters, according to research from The University of Rhode Island. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to send a message to your brain that you have eaten enough and are satisfied. If you rush your meal and eat rapidly, your body's satiety cues won't be tuned in to those feelings of fullness yet and it's easier to overeat. Try slowing down by chewing each bite at least 10 times, putting your fork down in between bites, and fostering a relaxing eating environment rather than eating on the run. (What should you do if you're dining out? Follow our no-gain guide.)
—Erin Palinski-Wade
Even the most motivated and focused dieter will struggle to be successful at weight loss once hunger takes over. Our bodies secrete a hormone called ghrelin, which controls hunger and drives our appetite. If we don't understand, monitor, and control our ghrelin, we can forget about losing weight. Science tells us that the best way to control ghrelin is to eat small, balanced meals about every 3 hours or so. That's because ghrelin will spike after about 3 to 4 hours of fasting, so eating with regularity helps keep this eating trigger at bay. Ghrelin will also spike if we're deprived of carbs, so it's important to give our bodies and brains the carb fuel they need. When we skip meals or avoid carbs, we're inviting ghrelin to spike, which increases and makes us feel emotionally hungry. It makes us crave sugar and can derail even the healthiest eating routine.
—Manuel Villacorta, RD, author of Eating Free: The Carb-Friendly Way to Lose Inches
More from Prevention: Does Skipping Meals Cause Pain?
It's a myth that you'll gain weight as a direct result of eating after 7 p.m. I see many busy professionals at my private practice, and they often get home late. This doesn't mean that they should skip dinner if they're trying to lose weight.
Many times, people stop eating by 5 p.m., which results in overeating the following day. This cycle is not ideal as it shuts down your metabolism. You should eat 70% of your calories before dinnertime and 30% at dinner, whatever time that may be. Just give yourself at least 90 minutes to end your meal before you plan to go to sleep. You need at least 90 minutes to digest so you can sleep comfortably.
—Manuel Villacorta
More from Prevention: How To Lose Weight All Day Long
Based on what I have applied in my practice, when it comes to weight loss we need to devote 80% of our efforts to nutrition and 20% to exercise.
One way to do this is to schedule time and make a date with your supermarket and kitchen. Restaurant dishes are outside of your control, and the fact is, most times, those outrageous portions come loaded with salt and fat. Start cooking at home to better monitor your calorie intake.
Schedule a day, like Sunday afternoon, to pre-cook for the week. Plan to roast a whole chicken. Cut up a batch of vegetables—like squash, peppers, eggplant, and sweet potatoes—toss them with a little olive oil and roast them in another pan alongside the chicken. Boil a pot of brown rice. Do all of this simultaneously and it should only take about an hour.
Now you have the makings for Monday's burritos, Tuesday's stew, Wednesday's pasta dish, and so on. Each working evening, you should only need about 15 minutes in the kitchen to put it together—less time than you might spend heating up a fat-, salt- and sugar-filled frozen pizza!

This may seem obvious. After all, you have to breathe no matter what, right? But few of us breathe deeply or consciously. Think about it: when was the last time you took a long, slow, deep breath, and slowly let it out again? Deep breaths of that kind take you out of your immersion in momentary stress, oxygenate your brain and tissues, and they help to reduce stress hormones. Take breathing breaks throughout the day, or, better yet, pair those breaks with a quiet walk to disassociate from the stress. Just a couple of minutes of walking, a few long, deep breaths, and you will start to see the results in your body. (See the two yoga poses that help control cravings.)
—Manuel Villacorta
Don't arrive at a big meal, event, or party starving. One study found that you'll be 2.5 times more likely to start off overeating starchy carbs, fried or cheesy foods than those who didn't fast before the meal. And, you'll be more likely to eat 47% more calories of that first food before switching to healthier fare. Have a light snack before you go to an event so you don't arrive ravenous.
—Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, author of The SuperFoodsRx Diet
Choosing chopsticks requires a bit more attention in picking up food from the plate. The portions are smaller, and eating with them takes more time because you have to closely watch each bite so the food doesn't fall off. They can act as a reminder to slow down, savor and chew consciously which may help you realize you're fuller sooner than you thought you'd be and then wind up eating less!
—Wendy Bazilian
The elastic waistband is the dieter's fashion enemy number one. When you wear clothes that fit well and make you feel good, you have awareness gauges that give you clear signals to help you put on the brakes as you fill up. Use this as a way of staying mindful of your goals and to help keep you from overeating.
—Wendy Bazilian
Instead of using words like "fat," say "fit"; change "can't" to "can"; "weak" to "strong"; "unhealthy" to "healthy." It takes practice but it can start to rewire how you think about your health and weight goals.
New research commissioned by Special K surveying over 1,000 women, found that 9 out of 10 women who have a positive attitude about weight management reported either losing or maintaining their weight in the past year versus only about 50% of those with a negative attitude. And beyond being more successful, those with a positive attitude were eight times less likely to report having gained weight than women who think negatively.
—Wendy Bazilian
A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition tracked the diets of nearly 900 adults and found that when people ate more fat, protein, and carbohydrates in the morning, they stayed satisfied and ate less over the course of the day than those who ate their bigger meals later on. Unfortunately, many Americans start off on an empty stomach. In one survey, consumers reported that even when they eat in the morning, the meal is a full breakfast only about one-third of the time. If you're feeling full-blown hunger before noon, there's a chance you're not eating enough in the morning. Shoot for a minimum of 250 calories and aim to get a serving of protein in so you'll feel fuller longer.

Try this strategy to permanently reduce cravings: Portion out one serving of your favorite treat, taking a minute to smell it, look at it, and think about it. Take one small bite. Chew slowly, moving it around your mouth and focusing on the texture and taste, then swallow. Ask yourself whether you want another bite or if that one satisfied you. If you still want more, repeat, this time chewing the food 20 times. Continue this eating exercise for as long as you want or until you finish the serving (it should take about 10 minutes). "When you take the time to slow down and be more mindful of what something really tastes like, you'll feel more satisfied," says Lesley Lutes, PhD, an associate professor in the department of psychology at East Carolina University. "Many of our participants told us that after a while, they didn't enjoy the treat as much as they thought they would, or they were content after just a couple of bites and were better able to stop eating when they were satisfied."
Make a point of turning in earlier and you'll see weight loss within a week. Recent research from the University of Pennsylvania found even just a few nights of sleep deprivation can lead to almost immediate weight gain. Scientists asked participants to sleep about 10 hours a night for two days, followed by five nights of sleep restriction and four nights of recovery. After the 11 days, the sleep-deprived group gained almost 3 pounds, compared with a well-rested control group. (Trouble falling asleep? See 20 Tips For a Better Night's Rest.)

Sarah Fine, author of Sanctum, dropped by the virtual offices to chat about her new book. Please give her a warm welcome!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Sarah Fine] Child psychologist and YA author in possession of an interminably restless mind.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about Sanctum?
[Sarah Fine] It's the story of a girl who sneaks into hell to save the soul of her best friend. Everything's going great (I mean, not really, she's in hell) until she gets captured by the Captain of the Guard, who knows she doesn't belong there and is determined to get her out of the city whether she finds her friend or not.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Sarah Fine] I think I came up with the concept of "hell" first. I wanted to fully develop the idea that, after you're dead, if you've still got things to sort out, you're going to have to do that. Death is no easy escape.
After that, it was a matter of building a compelling story around one person trying to help another person out of that terrible place. Knowing that whoever the rescuer was, she'd have to be incredibly tough, persistent, and wicked good in a fight, I created Lela—and gave her the background that would make her both desperate and ballsy enough to do what she does in the book.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Lela?
[Sarah Fine] Fierce. Loyal. Vulnerable.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If Malachi had a theme song, what would it be?
[Sarah Fine] I'm going to cheat. Before meeting Lela: Every Day Is Exactly the Same (Nine Inch Nails). After meeting Lela: The Gift (Angels & Airwaves).
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is Lela's most prized possession?
[Sarah Fine] Huh. Interesting. Can I cheat again and say: her ability to protect herself? Lela cherishes that and would never take it for granted. Not after what she's been through.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Sarah Fine] I'm definitely influenced by my background in psychology, which gives me a way of thinking about why people do what they do. I'm a rather avid information seeker: I read a lot of news. I've gotten a lot of wild ideas just from reading about what's actually happening in the world. I'm definitely drawn to a more gritty, macabre sort of aesthetic in terms of visual art and music, and so my stories tend to lean that way, too.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Sarah Fine] · Music: preferably loud. And, okay, kind of angry.
· My little tray table: I don't write at a desk. I sit in a chair or on my bed and set my laptop on my tiny portable table. I couldn't do without it.
· A block of time: I don't even try to write unless I've got at least two hours set aside. I'm not one of those write-every-day writers. I need a long stretch, because it takes me time to submerge myself in the work, and once I'm there, I want to stay for a while.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Sarah Fine] VESSEL by Sarah Beth Durst. Oh, my. Beautiful writing, beautiful story, instantly sympathetic main character, epic setting … I loved this book.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading, which would it be?
[Sarah Fine] Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis. It's a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche from the point of view of the "ugly sister." I read it for the first time when I was twelve, maybe? I still think about that book often and have reread it countless times.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Sarah Fine] I read. I know that answer is boring. I could cheat yet again and say I enjoy pole-dancing, but … yeah, I'll stick with "read."
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?
