How To: Make Chicken Stock
Homemade chicken stock is a kitchen project that we firmly believe everyone should try at least once. It's much easier to buy it at Trader Joe's, and we often do this too. But when you have bones left over from a roast chicken, it's so satisfying to use them up and turn out delicious stock for soup.
All you need are chicken bones - ideally with a little meat still on them - and some basic vegetables. We like to take the opportunity to use up gnarled carrots and wilted celery tops too. The end result is invariably delicious and nourishing. Soup made with homemade chicken broth is always just a little extra special! Steps and pics below...
This does take a while, but it's mostly hands off.
1. Pull apart whatever is left of the chicken carcass. It's good to split small bones apart; this helps the stock jell. Cut up one or two onions, a few stalks of celery, and a couple carrots and pile into a large pot with the chicken pieces. Add a bay leaf, a handful of parsley, a few peppercorns and any other wilting greens you have around - leeks and turnips are good too.
2. Fill the pot with water and put over high heat.
3. Bring to a rolling boil then lower the heat. You don't want this to boil briskly; the water should just gurgle, with a few bubbles occasionally hitting the surface.
4. If a foamy muck comes to the top, skim it off. This is just fat rising to the surface. Don't worry if you can't get all of it. Let simmer for about four hours - or however long you have. Two hours will produce a reasonably good chicken stock, although it is not ideal.
When you are done, remove from the heat and strain out the bones and vegetables, pressing on them to make sure extract all the liquid. Put in the fridge overnight to cool. The next day, skim any congealed fat off the top and discard or save for cooking. Put the stock in quart containers or bags to freeze. This will stay good in the freezer for several months, and good in the fridge for a few days.

Green Earth Ag & Turf is proud to continue our partnership with XYNYTH Manufacturing Corp. to bring you the safest and most effective ice melters on the market. XYNYTH Manufacturing Corp. has been a leader in the ice melt manufacturing industry for more than two decades, offering a line of high-quality ice melters and is renown among its customers for its excellent, effective products. At Green Earth Ag & Turf, we believe in the power of choice – and it's important to give you environmentally-safe options that won't be harmful to people, pets, the environment or to your wallet. Our technical expertise and great wholesale pricing allow you to combine the best of all these worlds - you can now get the best, eco-friendly products with the best pricing.
Why Eco-Friendly Ice Melters?
Many Ice Melt products containing dangerous chemicals that pollute waterways, inevitably entering and polluting drinking water supplies. They harm aquatic life and animals that feed on aquatic life, and they harm plant life – damaging the soil structure as well as the foliage itself. They also damage concrete, and once tracked indoors damage flooring leading to high maintenance costs. Complicating matters, many brands' claims are confusing and misleading. More often than not newer ice melters are simply blends of traditional, more common ice melters. Here are some of the benefits of our eco-friendly ice melters:
• Safe on Lawns and Plants. Some products actually
contain the same ingredients as standard fertilizers!
• Safe for Pets, will not burn paws or be harmful if ingested.
• Harmless to handle.
• Powerful to very low temperatures.
• None of the messy residue or tracking you get with Magnesium Chloride & Calcium Chloride, or standard Rock Salt products.
• Safe on concrete and wood.
• Anti-Corrosive formulations.
• LEED Compliant products are available.
Safe for People & Pets, Plants, Trees & Turf
Most pet owners are very concerned about their pets and treat them like "one of the family". Your choice of ice melters has a huge impact on your pet's safety and comfort. Your pet has no choice but to walk through the ice melts you use after application. Inferior ice melters can burn your pet's paws, eyes, and nose. Many pet owners do not realize that some deicers can be quite harmful to animals - that is why GroundWorks Natural ice melter is the choice for concerned pet owners. GroundWorks is made from natural potash and is potassium-based. The contents used in GroundWorks and Mountain Organic are widely used in foods and fertilizers - we come in contact with it daily. Instead of burning plants, tress and turf like rock salts, GroundWorks actually feeds them. Most importantly, unlike traditional ice melters (such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride) GroundWorks and Mountain Organic will not burn pets' eyes, noses or irritate their tummies.
Won't Damage Your Plants, Trees or Lawn
Standard Rock Salt (which is made of sodium chloride) as well as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, can cause plant, tree and turf "salt burn". GroundWorks is made with natural potassium, an essential fertilizer for plants, trees and turf. Instead of burning, this product is actually a nutrient source for the living things in your yard. The ECO Green product contains an anti-corrosive that reduces any potential salt burn. Using winter products that are effective and friendlier on your plants, trees and turf will save you time and money in the spring on replacement or treatment costs.
The Safest Products to Minimize Damage to Concrete, Wood and Stone
Winter can bring many weather-related problems; ice and its removal are among the most damaging and potentially dangerous. Unfortunately, fixing your ice dilemma only to face another problem when spring arrives; damaged concrete. According to the American Concrete Institute (ACI), the leading United States concrete authority, there are several chemicals which are used in ice melter formulas that actually attack concrete and are best avoided; these include Calcium Sulfate, Magnesium Sulfate and Magnesium Chloride. Freeze damage by water is a major cause of concrete damage. When ice melts more water becomes available to infiltrate concrete and re-freeze. The best way to reduce the damage caused by the freeze/thaw cycle is to use GroundWorks and Mountain Organic, ice melters that will keep melted ice in a liquid state for a longer period of time. Calcium chloride tends to re-freeze more quickly compared to ice melter containing potassium. By using our potassium-based GroundWorks or Mountain Organic, you extend the time available for more melted ice (water) to drain off or evaporate from your concrete, resulting in less damage to the concrete.

Dudley Society of Artists arrive canal-side
19 April
We're so excited to welcome Dudley Society of Artists to the Portal. From April 18th to June 10th, 'Canal-side' will feature over 50 diverse works by talented local artists. The highly respected art society has been meeting and exhibiting for the past 89 years and despite being an amateur society, several members have achieved success in exhibitions both locally and nationally. The society's current home is Castle High School and Visual Arts College where they meet weekly to work on their current projects, have demonstrations and work on portraiture from live models.
For the past 89 years, Dudley Society of Artists have held their annual exhibition at Dudley Museum and Art Gallery. Following the closure of the Priory Street museum, we are very proud to offer an alternative venue for the society. Over the past months the members have been working away on their canal-side theme and have created some stunning scenes which are evocative of Dudley's historic and atmospheric canals.
Over the next six weeks, visitors will be able to view original artworks from the society in a variety of media, styles and different scales. The exhibition is free to visit in the temporary exhibition space the Portal. All art works will also be for sale.
"We're so pleased to be welcoming Dudley Society of Artists to the Portal", said Holly Wain, Heritage Activities Assistant at Dudley Canal and Tunnel Trust. "We are thrilled to be able to champion the talent of local artists and promote the society and its work in our community".
The exhibition is free to visit and will be running from 18th April to 10th June. All of the original artwork featured in the exhibition will be for sale. For more information on the exhibition or Dudley Society of Artists, please visit http://www.dudleysocietyofartists.com/DSOA2/Welcome.html.

DISTRAUGHT manager Peter Jackson today began the difficult task of lifting his depleted squad from only the third FA Cup defeat to a non-League side in Town's history.
Yesterday's 1-0 first-round defeat to Andy Gouck's stoppage-time stunner at Accrington dumped Town out of a third cup competition in just 13 days and left them reeling from six defeats in seven matches after the season had looked to be taking off.
Now, Jackson must plot for the visit of Third Division leaders Hull City to the McAlpine on Saturday without ever-present keeper Ian Gray, who has a broken right hand, the suspended trio of Efe Sodje, Steve Yates and Lee Fowler and with Tony Carss under intensive treatment to a knee ligament injury.
Carss was ruled out in front of the BBC1 live cameras and a crowd of 3,129 at the Interlink Express Stadium, where Jon Worthington was a controversial seventh sending off of the campaign and faces a three match ban stretching from Mansfield and Cheltenham this month into December against Macclesfield.
Jackson has left it with referee Mike Jones to consider rescinding the card and, in the meatime, will focus efforts of rebuilding some shattered confidence after Town's Cup misery was screened nationwide to around one million viewers.
"As manager this one hurts, the lads are all devastated and it's a bitterly disappointing result for the club," said Jackson, who took little consolation from the £50,000 TV fee as Town missed out on a second round trip to Bournemouth.
"I know the fans will be really hurt and worried by our away form, too, but it's important we don't get our heads down and make sure we bounce back in this match against Hull City.
"They are one of the best teams in the division, but we have a great home record and we want to keep that going by putting this defeat well and truly behind us."
The defeat, a sixth in succession away from the McAlpine, leaves Town eyeing only the League to rake in vital cash unless suitors return to try and buy Jonathan Stead or, perhaps, rekindle old interest in defender Nathan Clarke.
Jackson is again looking at his midfield options - Lee Fowler's talks with Coventry continue about a permanent move - and believes Worthington to be very unlucky.
"The referee said it was violent conduct, but I can't see that in a million years," said Jackson, who told the referee at the ground there had been little or no contact between his player and Rory Prendergast.
"Worthy said he was just trying to shoot, yet the referee was straight out with the red card.
"It really was very disappointing and I just hope the referee looks at it and realises he has made a mistake, because then we've got a chance."
Town's only previous Cup defeats to non-League sides came against Southern League Swindon in 1911 and Colchester United in 1948.
"It's hard to take, but it's very important we respond in the right way against Hull at the McAlpine this weekend. That's what we are looking at now," added Jackson.

The Really Great AbbyShot Blog!
Browncoat Fan Art Contest: The Winners!
It's our great pleasure to announce the winners of the Browncoat Fan Art Contest! In partnership with the fine folks at the Bring Back Firefly Facebook Page, we asked Firefly fans to create their own original Browncoat character who is living life on the "raggedy edge" like Malcolm Reynolds in the Serenity 'Verse. This was no easy task and each entry took a lot of creativity and guts!
All the entries were fantastic (and all were posted to the "Photos" section of the Bring Back Firefly Facebook Page) but three pieces of art stood out above the rest in terms of both creativity and skill. Here they are in order, folks, the shiniest of the shiny (click the images below for larger versions).
William created a gorgeous piece of art using acrylic and marker on paper, showing a new Browncoat Captain along with his ship and crew engaged in a fierce battle that would make Jayne Cobb jealous! For his efforts, William takes the top prize and earned himself a gift certificate for $150 off a new Malcolm Reynolds Browncoat from AbbyShot Clothiers.
Kyle's entry was ridiculously creative, as he created, in his own words: "a Victorian era / 'Verse hybrid advertisement for a woman's fashionista style browncoat." Nicely done Kyle! Your 2nd place prize is having your artwork as the profile pic for Bring Back Firefly for 30 days.
Karen created a page from her own original Browncoat graphic novel, starring a tough female Captain who's itching for a "fair fight" with a few Reavers! That is some true bravery right there, can we see what happens next? Third prize is honorable mention and (of course) the adoration of thousands of Firefly fans!
Thanks so much to our winners (we'll be in touch!) and to everyone who participated! We had a blast reviewing your entries and, we must say, your creativity truly astounded us!
Keep flyin' Browncoats,
The AbbyShot and Bring Back Firefly Teams

The fabulous Valerie Jones published by Gold Star publications, featuring 56 pages of Valerie in various locations and stages of undress. Looking through all the shots, they all seem to be by Harrison Marks either at his flat or other well known sets. I'm not sure if this is just a duplicate of the Solo magazine under a different title or different shots? I'm missing the Solo edition featuring Valerie, so can't compare the two.
Thanks to Ray for sending over a copy of this fabulous magazine full of Valerie 🙂

text: Nanodevices could one day be controlled by light rather than by electricity thanks to the discovery of 'repulsive' light forces, which can be used to control components on silicon chips. The discovery was made by a team of Yale University researchers, who had previously discovered an 'attractive' force of light and showed how it could be manipulated to move components in semiconducting micro- and nanoelectrical systems – tiny mechanical switches on a chip. The scientists have now uncovered a complementary repulsive force. Tang's team shows how interacting lightwaves can be used to control devices on a silicon chip. (Image: Hong Tang/Yale University) Researchers had theorized the existence of both the attractive and repulsive forces since 2005, but the latter had remained unproven until now. The team, led by Hong Tang, assistant professor at Yale's School of Engineering & Applied Science, reports its findings in the July 13 edition of Nature Photonics' online publication. "This completes the picture," Tang said. "We've shown that this is indeed a bipolar light force with both an attractive and repulsive component." The attractive and repulsive light forces Tang's team discovered are separate from the force created by light's radiation pressure, which pushes against an object as light shines on it. Instead, they push out or pull in sideways from the direction the light travels. Previously, the engineers used the attractive force they discovered to move components on the silicon chip in one direction, such as pulling on a nanoscale switch to open it, but were unable to push it in the opposite direction. Using both forces means they can now have complete control and can manipulate components in both directions. "We've demonstrated that these are tunable forces we can engineer," Tang said. To create the repulsive force, or the 'push,' on a silicon chip, the team split a beam of infrared light into two separate beams and forced each one to travel a different length of silicon nanowire waveguide. As a result, the two light beams became out of phase with one another, creating a repulsive force with an intensity that can be controlled—the more out of phase the two light beams, the stronger the force. "We can control how the light beams interact," said Mo Li, a postdoctoral associate in electrical engineering at Yale and lead author of the paper. "This is not possible in free space – it is only possible when light is confined in the nanoscale waveguides that are placed so close to each other on the chip." "The light force is intriguing because it works in the opposite way as charged objects," said Wolfram Pernice, another postdoctoral fellow in Tang's group. "Opposite charges attract each other, whereas out-of-phase light beams repel each other in this case." These light forces may one day control telecommunications devices that would require far less power but would be much faster than today's conventional counterparts, Tang said. An added benefit of using light rather than electricity is that it can be routed through a circuit with almost no interference in signal, and it eliminates the need to lay down large numbers of electrical wires. Funding for the project includes a seed grant from DARPA and a Young Faculty Award from the National Science Foundation. For more information, visit: www.yale.edu

High Energy Physics
High energy physics addresses basic questions about matter and energy, such as the origin of mass and the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter. Much of the Imperial HEP programme is directed at discovering where the Standard Model will break down, since theoretical expectations imply that it cannot be the final story. This will be accomplished by testing predictions to high accuracy and looking for phenomena outside the model such as supersymmetry or extra dimensions.

Drag Strip List
A Comprehensive Encyclopedia
Charlestown Dragway (1956)
Tasca Ford 406 at Charlestown. Photographer unknown
Charlestown Dragway
Years of Operation: 1956-64
Status: 4
According to the research of
Brian Lohnes
, in 1956 the Southern New England Timing Association held two test events on a closed runway at an active Naval Auxiliary Landing Field hugging the coast of Block Island Sound on the southern end of Rhode Island. The runway strip was close to the Ninigret salt water pond. Research by
dated the first race to September 2, 1956. The Connecticut Automobile Modifiers Society obtained the use of the runway at the air base. In March 1958, the Navy turned down the request of the Timing Association to conduct six races in that season. The reason they gave was that there was a general feeling of Charlestown residents who were opposed to drag racing. However, racing resumed in 1959, being held on the first Sunday of each non-winter month.
Hot Rod Magazine
(Jan. 1960, p. 28-29) reported on an NHRA regional event that attracted 317 entries in 1959. The Miller-Gatti A/D from Long Island took top eliminator. In 1960, seven events were run. In 1961, races were held on May 7, June 4, July 8-9, August 6, and October 1. There was a race on September 15, 1963, featuring a Plymouth factory experimental car that was making a tour of New England strips. Old racers called it Charley Town. More research is needed. Although runways are still present at Charlestown, the actual runway where the drag strip operated may have since been chopped up and the site turned into bike paths and walkways according to an
old timer

Wild Wild West Robert Conrad 3rd & 4th Season costume
After nearly 20 years of searching I was finally able to locate and acquire my favorite costume from the exciting 60s TV series The Wild Wild West. This is Jim West's coat and pants worn by Robert Conrad in the 3rd and 4th season of the show. The cuffs are about 2" wide which means this coat was worn in the 4th season. This is the same costume Robert Conrad is wearing on the cover of TV Guide from 1968. Unfortunately, I located the pants and chaps about a year ago, before I located the jacket and I did not acquire them, as I had given up on ever locating the coat. This is a perfect example on why one should never give up, because about 10 months later I located the jacket and the matching pair of blue pants. Never the less these blue pants (pictured) were indeed worn with this blue jacket in many episodes, though the chaps were more often seen with this ensemble while Jim West was riding across the plains of the wild west.

This is a fantastic find! As you know I am a huge fan of The Wild Wild West and Jim's outfit is a classic TV icon. This ensemble was designed by Jack Muhs, keeping the bolero-style jacket and the matador/Flamenco dancer influence created by original uncredited Wild Wild West costume designer (to my knowledge the name of this designer is not known) while Jim's trail outfit was entirely the creation of Muhs. (The "fancy gent's" outfit Jim usually wore would hardly do for riding the plains.) Thanks for sharing this great acquisition!

Adam Curley needed a word – a hook on which to pin his band's new album. "Drum is primitive," says the
frontman for Melbourne four-piece Gold Class. "It's physical. It's the beat of your heart. It's immediate. It
comes from the past, but it also beckons to something in the future."
It holds other dualities, too – submission and authority; repetition and propulsion. And yet at its core, it's just
something you can dance to.
Drum is the bold second album from Gold Class. The follow-up to 2015 debut It's You, Drum is a brasher, vivid
widescreen account of a band hitting its stride while betraying the complex signs and scars of a life since
"I wanted Drum to bridge the gap between being onstage making this loud, rhythmic music and just being a
person in the world," says Curley. "In life things are funny, you have crushes on people, things are stupid, you
stay out all night. But you're also part of what's going on in the world and you have your own big struggles. I
wanted to try to piece that all together."
Formed in 2014 by a union of workmates and friends from a Melbourne bar and creative-writing course, Gold
Class' string of lean, explosive live shows culminated in It's You – a distillation of the then-fledgling group's
wiry punk, carried by Curley's booming baritone and themes of personal politics, sexuality and identity. The
album was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize and nominated for an Age award, and saw Gold Class
play sold out shows across Australia and London, at local festivals Golden Plains and Splendour in The Grass,
as well as international sets at SXSW, London Calling and Primavera Sound.
Such activity found its way into Drum. "We had a better sense of how we operated as four people," says
guitarist Evan Purdey. "We found we operated best having space between instruments, with peaks and
valleys in the dynamic. We didn't want to just pummel people with straight-out aggression in the set. We
wanted more of an identity to each song."
These new shades are integral to Drum. Recorded at Melbourne's Head Gap studios and co-produced by
Gareth Liddiard of The Drones, Drum sees Gold Class explore new territory in both songwriting and sonics.
Opening gurner 'Twist in the Dark' lifts on Curley's howl over an escalating pummel, and 'Rose Blind', 'We
Were Never Too Much' and closer 'Lux' each hinge on the ragged marriage of new pop smarts and furious
guitar squalls. But there's a space, too – see the keening, early-morning comedown of 'Trouble Fun'; skeletal
echo of 'Mercurian'; the gentle ebb and flow of 'Place We Go'.
Liddiard was instructive in helping the band capture these new moods. "We wanted to take a risk," says
Curley. "He was the one person everyone felt could do something interesting with the album. He was able to
simultaneously push us outside our comfort zone and help us achieve what we set out to do in the first place."
"We wanted to create a thematic flow through the record," says Purdey, "create different tones and moods to
reflect that, which we hadn't really done before. We talked a lot about Drum being nocturnal, I remember
Adam saying 'These songs take place at night.'"
Curley can trace that motive to one song in particular. "I wanted the album to be defiant and full of skin and
trouble and spit and love," says the singer. "'Get Yours' was the first of the lyrics I wrote, about being down at the bottom. But even though I'm there, I still have full agency. I'm a powerful person, even when I'm down and vulnerable. That's what I wanted – something that cuts to how you feel sometimes, full of rage and stupidity and humour. That felt honest. You never come out of something ultimately in charge or powerful.
Everything is a process. Everyone is always okay and not okay, just like the world. Your place in it always needs to be renegotiated." Drum distils that messy scope into a brave, sometimes brutal but beautiful new document. Whatever will come, the beat – at least – goes on.

A literary novel set in England and America that is now film screenplay project.
Martin is working with Eye Film and Television and Genesius Pictures, with production plans due to be announced in 2014.
Count the Petals of the Moon Daisy is a story of two women, separated by a century and an ocean, whose lives weave closer and closer until they touch. It about the healing power of nature and music, of self-discovery and coming to terms with loss. Set in America and England, it reaches to the roots of English-American ancestry as violin virtuoso Jessica Healey finds herself on a journey into the past.
No Going Back – Journey To Mother's Garden is the story of Martin and Maggie's journey to find space, time and fulfilment with their young children Ella and Joe; of their struggle to survive and the fruits of their adventures on a mountain farm in Catalonia, Spain.
Honest and often hilarious, this account of living the dream has been translated into Dutch, Portuguese and Catalan – vital reading for all who dream of stepping off the beaten track.
It followed the two No Going Back television documentaries about the family's journey and new life on the farm – programmes that have now been screened around the world.
Shaking The Tree is the second part of the Mother's Garden family's inspirational true story, covering the years from 2003 to 2015, and newly-published as an e-book.
People from all corners of the globe have made their way to The Garden.
In another laugh-out-loud, heartfelt, honest account of life on the wild side, Martin lays bare the joys, fears and tribulations that face anyone who falls in love with the idea of a Mediterranean escape.
This moving account of starting afresh, somewhere far from all they knew, goes to the heart of fulfilment, the value of family, the importance of time; and it asks important questions of us all.

|An evaluation of the impact of introducing a breakfast club on nutritional status and cognitive function in lower social class primary school children
|Mehrotra, Shilpee

|Queen Margaret University College
|Current Institution:
|Queen Margaret University
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
Breakfast has been shown to increase the supply of glucose to the brain which improves short-term memory. On waking hepatic glycogenolysis is the major buffer against short-term (12-18 hrs) fasting. The higher ratio of brain weight to liver weight in the child (1.4 - 1.6 versus 0.73 for the adult) and the 50% greater metabolic rate per unit brain weight in the child, places a greater demand on the child's glycogenic stores during a short fast as compared to the adult. Few school breakfast studies have examined the effect of different breakfasts on cognitive performance. This study investigated the nutritional differences of a habitual breakfast consumed at hom (NBC) and breakfast served at a breakfast club in (BC) school and the effect of these breakfasts on cognitive performance. Subjects were primary school children aged 7-11 years old in Scotland. When baseline cognitive performance scores were compared to scored at data collections 2,3 and 4 there were more significantly pronounced improvements for the NBC group than the BC group (p < 0.001). There were significantly greater numbers of children eating a cooked breakfast in the BC group and significantly higher numbers of children eating a cereal breakfast in the NBC group. As a result breakfasts of the BC group were higher in fat (MUFA and PUFA) (p < 0.01) and lower in percentage energy from carbohydrate than the NBC group. Positive correlations existed between percentage energy from carbohydrate and percentage energy from starch and cognitive test performance (p < 0.01). This suggests that a breakfast higher in % energy from carbohydrate such as a cereal breakfast benefits short-term memory, by supplying the brain with readily available supply of glucose it's primary and preferred fuel. This results of this research provide evidence for the requirement of guidelines to ensure that breakfasts served at school will both assist learning in morning lessons and be in-line with healthy eating recommendations.

The Scooby Doo Animated Movies
Sky | New York | 09/25/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Scooby-Doo in Pirates Ahoy! is the silliest of the ten animated Scooby movies that I'm aware of since 1999. They're all pretty silly...deliberately...but they are usually quite entertaining--if not captivating--to children 3+...okay, and me too.
In an unofficial poll taken of my own kids ages 3 through 7, the results are in and Pirates is at the bottom. Here's the list, according to the experts, of the Scooby Doo animated movies that we...I mean...THEY liked the best:
1-Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (1999)
2-Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998)
3-Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders (2000)

With the exceptions being switches of #1 & #2 and #7 & #8, the kids pretty much liked 'em best in the order that they came out. So let's hope that the pattern breaks in 2007! But for now, if your kids haven't seen any (or all) of the releases prior to Pirates, you might want to grab one to go along with, or in place of, this one.
Side note: Warner apparently got so many parent complaints about the first 4 films including "real monsters" (respectively: a real ghost, real zombies, real aliens and a computer virus that comes life) instead of villains in masks that starting in 2003 they abandoned the "real" idea.
Scooby Doo on the Seven Seas
Matthew Greathouse | Chicago, IL | 09/26/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Okay, I will completely admit that even as I approach the ripe, ol' age of 33, I've never let the little kid in me grow up. I'm still a huge Scooby fan who has every Scooby DVD out there and I still watch Scooby and the gang on a regular basis. So I was really stoked to hear that a new movie was coming out and scooped up a copy over the weekend.
Now that I've watched it, I can honestly say it's a pretty good Scooby flick, however adults who can't enjoy kid-friendly entertainment shouldn't apply. Pirates Ahoy sticks to the 'old' Scooby format of finding clues, setting traps and unmasking villains.
It was nice to see Fred's parents folded into the story line. Other than A Pup Named Scooby Doo, I don't ever remember seeing them in the regular shows. There aren't very many plot twists in Pirates Ahoy and the ones that do occur seem a little odd...like when the Billionaire with the Jet Pack lands on the ship...however none of them really detract from the story. Besides, you don't watch a Scooby cartoon expecting realism.
The movie is completely kid-friendly, no need to worry about adult themes, subjects, or even real monsters. If your little tyke loves Scooby, he/she will certainly love this film as well."
Scooby Doo is still the best
Bobbieanne Munn | Fontana, CA | 09/28/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I am 34 and still love watching Scooby Doo. I love this one. It is definetly a keeper. It was nice to see Freddie's parents. The mystery cruise was a good idea. Scoopy and Shaggy thought they were getting a vacation. Once again no-way. I recommend any Scooby Doo fan to buy this movie. It is one I will watch over and over again. The graphics are great and the story line is fun."

Other Addiction Types Articles
Compulsive Exercise
Exercise is an example of something that on the surface may sound like it would be good for us, being taken to extremes. However exercise addiction and extreme fixation on physical fitness is a compulsive behavior that may be quite difficult to stop without appropriate treatment.
What is Exercise Addiction?
A person who is an exercise addict is over-involved in physical activity. It's not a matter of trying to perform at one's personal best or trying to achieve a certain level of fitness. If an exercise addict is unable to get to exercise for a time, they work out even more intensely the next time they get the opportunity to do so as if they must not possibly miss getting their maximum amount of physical exertion; essentially they're practicing obligatory exercise.
Signs of Exercise Addiction
Indications that you or someone you care about may be an exercise addict are as follows:
- Choosing exercise over spending time with friends and/or family
- Compulsive exercising such as getting up to exercise late at night
- Exercising even when sick or tired
- Feeling guilty when unable to exercise
- Keeping extremely detailed records of workouts
- Staying away from school or work to exercise
- Withdrawal symptoms when unable to exercise
- Frequent injury from over-exercising
Causes of Addiction
One of the positive effects from engaging in exercise is the release of endorphins. These hormones give a feeling of euphoria after exercising. The exercise addict falls into a pattern of continuing to exercise to excess in an attempt to feel that way. Over time, they increase the length and intensity of their workout to recapture that feeling.
Exercise also helps to relieve stress and anxiety, and it's possible that the exercise addict turns to physical activity to cope with the strains of everyday life. If a person is using exercise as a way to avoid dealing with difficult issues or situations, then it may be a sign of addiction.
Consequences of Exercise Addiction
Excessive exercising can lead to several consequences for the addict, including:
- Anxiety
- Decreased testosterone production in men
- Difficulty relaxing
- Fatigue
- Muscle aches
- Problems in personal relationships
WebMD covers more problems that exercise compulsion can create.
Help and Treatment for Exercise Addiction
When you are ready to get help for exercise addiction, look to a psychologist or a psychiatrist for counseling to uncover and address the root of the problem. Your doctor can refer you to someone qualified to help you quit using exercise in an inappropriate manner. The goal of treatment is to help the addict learn how to exercise enough to stay healthy, without becoming obsessed again.

On Sept. 11, 2002, juvenile red snappers raised in captivity were released into the Gulf of Mexico. The young snapper produced by Auburn University scientists working at the Marine Resources Claude Peteet Mariculture Center in Gulf Shores were part of a study to determine habitat use and fish movements. Red snapper are one of several species of reef fish caught around bottom structures in the Gulf of Mexico. Young juveniles are rare around large reefs but are more common around micro-habitat, such as patches of old oysters reefs exposed when sands shift over the Gulf's floor.
Scientists have found that this type of habitat may be a critical link in the life history of red snapper. To better understand this phase in the life of red snapper, AU Associate Professor of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures Steve Szedlmayer and his staff built a set of artificial reefs from oysters shells in the Gulf the and stocked the captively-raised juvenile snapper to determine how the young fish used such reefs for habitat and food.
Hatchery-produced fish are a basic tool used to understand the biology of wild fish. Hatchery-produced fish can be marked and released into the wild at specific times and places. When they are recaptured, estimates of growth, mortality and overall population size can be made. Ron Phelps, professor of fisheries and allied aquacultures at Auburn, is leading the study to raise young snappers in captivity for use in such research.
When concerns about declining red snapper populations first surfaced more than 20 years ago, scientists working in the Gulf of Mexico attempted to raise red snapper in carefully controlled settings. Their efforts were thwarted until 1996 when Phelps' research team became the first to successfully produce juvenile red snapper in a hatchery setting. The techniques they refined are now being used by other hatcheries and scientists along the Gulf Coast, including the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs, Miss.
Rearing red snapper is a challenge in part because so little is known about how they develop from hatchling to juvenile stages and what they require as food. Phelps and his staff focused on providing a more natural setting and on producing a higher quality fertilized egg. They also concentrated on developing appropriate feeds that promote high survival rates of newly hatched snapper larvae and establishing protocols for efficient production of juvenile red snapper.
Much of the work has been done at the Claude Peteet Mariculture Center, a facility operated by the Marine Resources Division. Brood fish are captured out of the Gulf and brought to tanks housed in specially-made greenhouses at the Center. There they are spawned and the fertilized eggs are collected and nurtured until they hatch into larvae. The larvae are then cultivated until they reach about three months in age, at which point they can be released into the Gulf.
Knowledge gained from these studies provides a better understanding of the basic biology of red snapper and, in turn, allows improved management regulations of wild stocks. But the research may also lead to a new enterprise in Alabama–red snapper "farming."
"The development of practical techniques for spawning and culture of red snapper may provide an alternative source of this fish through aquaculture (fish farming), thus reducing the commercial fishing pressure on wild stocks," explained Phelps. That, in turn, may mean more fish are available for sport fishers.
Similar work has been done in southern Europe with sea bream, which are now farmed in a multi-million dollar industry. Red snapper, it appears, is a prime candidate for such a program.
"Snappers quickly adapt to captive conditions and can become quite tame," said Phelps, explaining why red snappers are well suited to captive breeding programs. In fact, red snapper can become so tame that they will stick their heads out of the water looking for feed, a behavior rarely seen in marine fish species.
"From the juvenile stage on up, snapper are a desirable aquaculture species," Phelps continued. "They can consume an artificial diet well and convert it reasonably well. They're innately curious and they handle well, so they have a lot of potential for aquaculture."
According to R. Vernon Minton, Marine Resources Division director, red snapper already is big business in Alabama. Though Alabama has only four percent of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coastline, recreational anglers harvest approximately 35 percent of the four million pounds of red snapper landed recreationally each year.
Minton added that Alabama currently is home to more than 100 charter and party boats that target the red snapper fishery. The economic impact of the charter boat fleet alone in Alabama is estimated at more than $60 million per year, which does not include the income from other sectors of the sport and commercial red snapper industry.
To maintain this important fishery, a much better understanding of the biology of red snapper is needed. Auburn University will continue to take a two-pronged approach to helping to preserve this resource. Phelps's team will concentrate on the reproduction and the larval rearing of red snapper in the hatchery, while Szedlmayer's group will focus on the reef populations and their biology.

If you know anything about Bang & Olufsen, it's probably that they have some unique looking products and that those kind of bragging rights will cost you. The company's new BeoSound 5 Encore is certainly no different.
This pretty little digital music system provides access to over 13,000 web radio stations, as well as the owner's own digital library. It also promises to make those things sound as good as this system looks — and it better for $3,350.
Designed to be a hub for your digital music, the BeoSound 5 Encore can arrange music by album, artist, track or "favorites." It can also work alone or as part of a larger multiroom setup. If it's not up to par, don't completely stress out. B&O says that the quality of the stations is monitored and updated on a regular basis.
One nifty feature is the company's MOTS (More of the Same) algorithm, which allows users to build music playlists based on the sound, dynamics, and rhythmic aspects of a single track. Other music options include a connected drive, a NAS server, a computer, a USB stick or a handheld device.
Besides support for lossless music, the BeoSound 5 Encore boasts access to both wired and wireless networks. Additional BeoSound 5 Encore features include a 10.4-inch graphical display and a wheel to scroll through music selections. Also, a total of up to eight BeoSound 5 Encore systems can be connected for whole-house music.
"BeoSound 5 Encore represents the first step into the new digital world where both permanent and temporary devices constantly change," states Zean Nielsen, president of Bang & Olufsen America, Inc. "We believe BeoSound 5 Encore acknowledges the different customer levels – in terms of familiarity with the digital music paradigm – and will appeal to both the technologically advanced and those that prefer a more simplistic way of interacting and navigating with one's preferred digital music library."
B&O says that the BeoSound 5 Encore should start popping up in showrooms next month. In the meantime, check out the little product promo below.

Well what a lovely morning it's been here in London. Flawless blue skies, bright sunshine but bitterly cold. The perfect running conditions. Was feeling pretty chipper as I donned my running clobber and shouted up the stairs to Mrs Dan "I'm off. See you later squishy plops" - "Idiot!" came the reply. She loves me really....
No music today folks. Ears were stark b****ck naked and I'd turned off Endomondo's audio announcements. I just wanted to go out and see how far I could go without announcements of stats in my ears. My left calf has been a bit twitchy for the past couple of weeks in that when I'm running it's fine. The rest of my day is fine but then the next day it starts to feel a bit weak. Not painful, just a bit like it's saying "What the hell did you do to me yesterday, you bas***d!"
It was cold. Bloody cold. I had my black thermal gloves on (the kind that Thierry Henry used to wear and I used to think - "What a total ****!" - but now I know that they really help!). My ears and face were flamin' freeeeeeeezing and I'd wished I'd worn my beanie but I didn't have it, so was faced with a case of going "Oh my God it's cold enough to freeze the b**s off a brass monkey!" I set off in a lumpy, jagged fashion cos my calf needs about 200m to warm up. "Oooh, aaghh, ooh, ouch!" I went, until the twinge went away and it was warmed up.
I'd decided to reverse my run route just to mix it up a bit. I'm a bit "crazy" like that. So off I tonked towards Twickenham Station which was just over 2K away and it wasn't until here that I started to feel warmer. I wasn't going fast - just slow and steady. I wasn't bothered with times, I just wanted to run non stop on the route I'd decided to run. It was more than 5K, I knew that, but I felt if I took it easy I could make it to the end and walk home triumphantly! I reached York House where Mrs Dan and I got hitched and I started to count how many Saturdays it'd been since our wedding day in 2011. I gave up pretty quickly cos I got bored and by this stage I was running along the quiet road that leads down to the river Thames.
Reached the Thames path with only dog walkers and runners for company. No cars or traffic noise. Lovely. I listened to the sounds of nature as I ran and heard some squawks from some water hens. Some ducks strutted their stuff beside some rather knackered looking boats that bobbed about on the water. The sun was pretty strong and made lovely sparkly dancey figures on the river and I was glad I'd worn my dark glasses. I pressed on and started to feel a bit leg heavy. "Keep going you big hunk" I said to myself.
I had no idea how far I'd run but I pushed on and saw so many runners. I hoped they were enjoying the solitude as I was. Some groups of twos and threes passed me, chatting away as they jogged and I wondered how long they'd be able to keep a conversation going before swearing at each other and saying "Shut up Doris! Jeeeeez!"
Richmond Bridge came into view and it looked splendid in the sunshine as the water moved fairly swiftly under it. I managed to cross the road without stopping cos I caught the pedestrian crossing on red. "Yeah baby!" I said to myself. "You're not far from home. Keep going you little beauty!" I was under 2K from home but I was tiring - but I didn't stop. No sir, I kept going and going and going. Eventually I left the Thames path and then up to the road where I'd decided to stop my run, before walking home. I got my phone out and looked at how far I'd gone. Only 7K people!! The furthest I'd ever run since starting this program. I was soooooo pleased with myself as I started my warm down walk home.
Mrs Dan was doing her workout in the front room when I got home to some DVD. An American woman was yelling things like "And push! And pull. One more! You're doin' great! And push! and...."
"I just ran 7K sweetie pants!" - "Bloomin' hell" she said. "Well done you". I headed upstairs and got into the jacuzzi , aiming the jets at my tired legs. I decided to congratulate them. - "Well done legs. Nice one. You didn't let me down. Now enjoy the soak, you little beauties."
You have to tell your legs this stuff. It makes them work harder for you next time!
Tally ho folks!

The colorant systems listed in Table I were selected for study from those on hand in our laboratory, and all were found to be particularly fugitive. Although these colorants represent only a small sample of the colorants one might encounter in museum objects, they include a variety of molecular types. Thus, we felt they would be representative of systems that one might wish to protect with an oxygen-free environment.
Rates of fading of the colorant systems listed in Table I were determined under various concentrations of oxygen ranging from 21% (an atmosphere of air) to 0% (nitrogen). Control of the oxygen concentration was achieved by sealing the test samples in pyrex glass tubes as shown in Figure 2. The tubes were evacuated, filled with dry air (R.H = 0%) and then evacuated to a pre-determined pressure. Dry nitrogen was then allowed to enter the tubes to bring the total pressure up to one atmosphere.
Oxygen concentrations are expressed relative to the concentration of oxygen in one atmosphere of air, as shown in equation 1,
where P and Pa are the partial pressures of oxygen in the tube and in an atmosphere of air, respectively. The lowest oxygen concentration achieved in this project was P/Pa = 0.0013. The highest oxygen concentration examined was P/Pa = 1.00.
The sealed pyrex tubes containing the colorant samples were exposed to a bank of G.E. Daylight fluorescent tubes (F48T 12). The average intensity of light reaching the samples was 1 × 104 lux. Each sample was exposed for a known amount of time, and the total exposure for each sample, in terms of lux-hours, was calculated. Under the experimental conditions, the total light striking the samples undoubtedly included some ultraviolet radiation above 280 nm. No attempt was made to differentiate the influence of ultraviolet and visible light.
Reflectance measurements were made on the colorant samples before and after exposure to light. A Kollmorgen model D-1 "Color-Eye" reflectance spectrophotometer, modified for small area viewing, was used. Measurements were made relative to barium sulfate at the wavelength shown in Table I. The specular component of the reflected light was excluded in the measurement.
Rates of fading were expressed as relative rate constants, kr', defined in Equation 2.
Values of kr were obtained experimentally by dividing the time required for a colorant sample to fade an arbitrarily chosen amount by the time required to fade the same amount at the chosen oxygen concentration. Times were expressed in terms of lux-hours of exposure. Full discussions of this time-ratio method of kinetic analysis can be found in the references.10,11
The advantage of expressing the rate of fading in terms of kr and the oxygen concentration in terms of P/Pa is that the influence of oxygen concentration on the fading of all of the colorants can be compared directly regardless of the lightfastness differences between the colorants. Thus, similarities and differences in the responses of colorants to changes in oxygen concentration can be seen easily.
From data obtained on kr versus P/Pa, appropriate statistical regressions were performed to determine the value of kr at P/Pa = 0 (zero oxygen concentration). Values of kr at P/Pa = 0 are listed as i in Table II. Error limits are the 95% confidence intervals obtained from the regression calculations. Correlation coefficients, r2, are also reported. In addition, the inverse, 1/i, is given in Table II. The value of 1/i is an estimate of the factor by which the life expectancy of the colorant in air would be multiplied if placed in an oxygen-free atmosphere.

Determined to revamp the state's defunct medical marijuana program, key state lawmakers have begun hashing out differences between the different programs approved by the Senate and the House.
Del. Peter A. Hammen, a Baltimore City Democrat, said Monday he would "fully anticipate" a compromise to be found by the end of the week.
At issue is how many growers would be allowed to operate in the state, and whether the patients could get marijuana directly from growers or instead through a system of independent dispensaries.
Maryland lawmakers passed a medical marijuana program in 2013 that relied on academic centers to distribute the drug, but none volunteered to administer the program. In the year since, patients have not had access to legal medical marijuana.
