The battle over uranium mining isn't over.
There's still a small chance after the senator who proposed a bill opening the door to uranium legislation withdrew his bill yesterday.
The signs still speak for themselves the next day. Drive in any town in Pittsylvania County and they'll be there.
"Stop Whining, Start Mining" or plainly, "No uranium mining."
The people behind the signs are just as blunt.
"There's no going back if it happens. Period."
Their words remain strong a day after a bill that could have opened the door to uranium mining here in Pittsylvania County was withdrawn.
"You have to accept defeat as well as victory in this. And when you lose and still have a strong argument then you have to go back to presenting it in a different light at a different time," said Vernon Moon, a supporter of uranium mining.
Moon, a supporter of lifting the ban isn't lifting a white flag just yet.
"I'm disappointed it was voted down. But it will probably show itself up in the future," Moon said.
The proposed mine brings jobs, something he says this area needs.
But his foes aren't worried about work, it's contamination of ground water that's their main concern.
"As long as that is in the ground it will always be an issue in Virginia," said Tim Stuart, an opponent of uranium mining.
Stuart moved to a house a mile from the proposed mining area, Coles Hill, five years ago knowing little about uranium.
Now one of it's biggest opponents, he knows the bill isn't dead for long.
"It was a bittersweet victory yesterday." "It's far from being over yet. Until there's something serious done on this issue as far as the moratorium goes," Stuart said.
Although the bill is most likely dead for a year, both men are waiting for action from the House of Delegates and Governor McDonnell who could use his executive power to begin drafting regulations.

A new study may have found that Nevada leads the nation in development of geothermal projects, but the study also shows that the industry faces problems in the state for a while.
The Geothermal Energy Association last week reported that 75 geothermal projects are under development across Nevada, more than double the 33 under development in second-place California.
But even industry officials are tempered their optimism about geothermal's near-term future in the state.
For starters, a vast majority of the geothermal projects identified by the industry association in Nevada are in the earliest stages of development.
Nearly 39 percent of …

At Union Square's new Bronwyn, beer and würst are a family affair
Though Bronwyn, the buzzed-about new restaurant and biergarten in Union Square, is a German establishment, its name actually has Welsh origins. The restaurant is named after chef Tim Wiechmann's wife and business partner who, as general manager, hoofed the couple's popular Huron Village eatery T.W. Food, and thusly earned the right to lend her name to their second restaurant.

Should we care what we share?
Apr 27, 2011 09:21 AM »
Asalaamu Alaikum
Interesting article on privacy and the growth of social networking.
Should we have a 'right to be forgotten'
Should we care what we share?
We are now given more opportunities to share ourselves than ever before.
We can tell Foursquare where we are, we can tell Twitter what we are doing. On Facebook, we can tell everyone a relationship is on the rocks, or share pictures of embarrassing nights out.
But sharing also means we can work together, support each other, meet new people and gain new interests.
So when it comes down to whether we should be a share-alot or share-not, it really depends on who you ask.
For Jeff Jarvis, highly-regarded blogger, author and commentator on the notion of "publicness", the issue of keeping private online is simple.
"When you're faced with a Twitter box in front of you, you can choose to put something in it, or not."
He argues that in a world of tweets, status updates, blogs, YouTube clips and dating accounts it is, ultimately, a personal choice.
Yet as technology rapidly evolves into more sophisticated methods of knowing where we are and what we're up to, not everybody is keen to embrace Mr Jarvis' spirit.
Among them is Andrew Keen, author of Digital Vertigo: An Anti-Social Manifesto.
"If we become seduced by this idea of publicness. That is a bad thing for us as human beings."
Not evil
Mr Keen and Mr Jarvis debated the merits of our online social lives with Jeff on a special privacy edition of Click on the BBC World Service.
Mr Keen's worry is that in future we may lose the ability to remain private in the same way previous generations have done so.
He argued that rather than tweet away the minutiae of daily life, citizens of the world actually need protecting from social media and the relentless encouragement to share where we are, who we are with, and what we are doing.
"I think what we should understand is the role of the internet not as an evil technology, but as a thing that none of us really control, and has its own momentum.
"As the internet is revolutionised - it's not just Facebook, it's Zynga, it's GroupOn, it's LivingSocial.
"It's this eruption of new social products, services, platforms. It means that the generation to come I don't think will have the choice that Jeff has the luxury to make."
Mr Jarvis' approach has been markedly different.
"I told the entire world that my penis doesn't work," he said, reflecting on his decision to blog back in August 2009.
"I got incredible benefit out of that. I got friends giving me advice. I inspired other men to get their PSA checked. Good things came."
Yet while many would much rather keep their battle with cancer a strictly private affair, Mr Jarvis pointed out that it was entirely his decision to share his experiences with the world.
"No-one was forcing me out of the prostate closet. In the analysis that I made personally about whether or not I should keep this to myself or share this, I saw more benefit in sharing."
This is all well and good, Mr Keen argued, but letting the world in on traditionally personal areas is often not about what you can get out of it, but rather how it makes you feel - and not everyone can handle public intrusion to the same level.
"I think we need to remind ourselves of the value of feelings, which can't be quantified, and which are essential to the self."
Age of possibility
Around the world, privacy worries are high on the political agenda.
In March, Viviane Reding, vice-president of the EU, outlined ideas for the reform of data protection laws.
She argued for "four pillars" of privacy, including the "right to be forgotten", and "privacy by default".
Mr Jarvis worries about their implementation.
"That has a huge impact on the development of the possibilities of the internet.
"To govern around fear is difficult in an internet age that's all about possibilities."
He adds that we should not strangle new technologies because of an obvious threat, insisting that while we should be wary of dangers, banning technology outright leaves us worse off in the long run.
"It is possible now to use facial recognition. And that bothers some people.
"But imagine how you could use that kind of technology in Japan today to find people who are missing or not missing."
Mr Keen says he is not against the enhancement of technology, and that proposed data privacy laws do not seek to ban technologies.
"I do think it's important for us to understand what we are sliding into," he said.
"The internet is becoming ubiquitous. Even the word 'internet' is losing any meaning.
"In the past, and when we talk about the past we're talking about the rest of human history, we've been able to escape the gaze of our neighbour, the gaze of our parents, our wives, our children.
"But the world that we are falling into is one where we won't be able to escape the gaze."
Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is God's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" [39:10]

A couple of related issues which came up from chat on this topic.
At what age would you allow your children unsupervised access to the internet and at what age would you let them open up a fb account?
If you don't want them accessing the net, is there a danger that children will feel left out if they are not online with their peers?

You know how interesting it would be if babies and children could post their status updates on FB. Probably a gadget head band of future could read a doodlers thoughts and post it on social networking sites... Hmmm...
If that could ever happen, here is what their status updates would look like:
Baby1: "Ohh, I think i've wet my diaper again. No worries, i've heard that its halal to pee 4-5 times in one diaper."
Baby2: "Today I cried the crap out of myself to get mum's iphone"
one hour ago
Baby2: "Hey friends, join my new page
iPhone tips for Babies
just now
BabyBoy: (Places) "is in the lap of mum's prettiest friend
BabyH2H: "Dammit. How many times do I have to tell dad not to touch mommy!! If he touches her one more time, im gonna start a FB cause against displaying affection infront of your kids

Not really a huge deal, but Dumoulin is making his NHL debut for the Penguins tonight. As someone from Maine it's fun to see someone born in this state make it to the NHL, since so few athletes born in Maine make it professionaly. Not sure if anyone else here is from Maine, but it should be fun to watch. Apparantly only five players from Maine have played in the NHL, and they didn't really have any success. Thought it was pretty surprising so few players from Maine had played in the NHL, but I guess the low population and lack of resources and competition is part of the reason.

Yeah, I believe Dustin Penner, Gustav Nyquist, Ben Bishop, and Jimmy Howard are also former UMaine players. It's hard to really follow the hockey program living in the southern part of the state though, unfortunately, but it sounds like it's really improved this year.

Im a bit surprised as well at how few Mainers have made the NHL. Never really thought about it before, just sort of assumed there were more. The number should go up eventually as the number of American born players grows. It's at almost 25% which is up drastically from even just a little over a decade ago when it was about 15%. When the B's won cups in '70 and '72 the percentage was something like 5%. It's not that long ago that Bobby Carpenter was a big deal because he was from the U.S. and actually good. So if people in Maine are playing hockey we should see a few more hit the NHL someday. Maybe one of them will be really good, too.

I wonder WTL if it is how the powerhouse college programs recruit. Is it worth a trip too a rural area too see a kid from Northern New England ?
Meaning they can go take a ride to see Avon, Mt. Saint Charles, Matignon, Thayer Academy etc. Where they perceive that is where the real talent is...
posted at 12/9/2013 6:52 PM EST
That could be. But I figure some kid from Maine could end up playing for Mt. SC, St. Sebs or some prep school more on the beaten path and get scouted for a decent college program or hit the Canadian Jrs on his way to the NHL. Maybe he's from Portland area....not too far away really. Not like Caribou or some place where you need a half track and a guide with 3 teeth to help you find the place :P

I remember going to the 1993 Hockey East championship at the old Garden -- Maine Black Bears vs. BU.
That Maine team had Kariya, Mike Dunham, Garth Snow, Jim Montgomery, and the Ferraro brothers. I think all 6 played NHL games.

Another one I remember is Niko Dimitrakos from Somerville. Good NHL player for a very short period.
Love Hockey East. Good for Dumoulin.

Yeah, if it's a school outside of the Portland area, or Lewiston/Auburn it's unlikely. I went to one of the largest high schools in the state, and everyone who tried out made the hockey team, so I'd imagine it's hard to really assess talent when they are playing against weak competition. It would definitely be hard to get attention in most parts of the state.

I hope the USHL uses a different approach than some of the college recruiters. Kids in all areas should be looked at.

Spent many years at Coach Walsh's summer hockey camps up at UMaine. Very cool to get training from guys like Montgomery, Dunham, Snow, Carney, Kariya, Pellerin, Weinrich, Roy and the rest of those early 90s teams. I had to laugh as NAS' comment...as one summer they were renovating Alfond Arena and we had to play at a rink in, you guessed it, Old Town.
It's always a big deal when someone from a Maine HS actually makes the UMO team, let alone the NHL. I played against some really talented high schoolers, but none sniffed the pro level. We'd clean up at the State level, then get systematically crushed by the Mass prep schools.
Anyway, hope Dumoulin gets his chance and makes something of it.

Great thread. I live in Downeast Maine (near MDI) and for some reason, youth hockey doesnt even exist here. There are no rinks, even of the outdoor variety like we had in Bangor when I was a kid (pre-Sawyer Arena days). Played some games indoors on the Alfond Ice, Kennebec and at Old Town (which I think is now gone) and some outdoor ones...Millinocket comes to mind. My skill level probably wasn't worth my parents investment for a UMO camp, but I did manage to get a week at St. Andrews N.B. one summer which was awesome. Good to see a Maine boy make the big show!

Law enforcement from local and federal agencies arrested five Stanislaus County men Wednesday on allegations they were trafficking in methamphetamine.
A Denair teenager will stand trial for a Mother's Day attack that resulted in the death of her father and serious injuries for her mother.
The keen observation of a passing motorist, and a call to the Turlock Police Department, put an end to a home burglary.
Preliminary figures released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday indicate that the number of violent crimes and property crimes reported by law enforcement across the nation during 2011 decreased when compared to 2010 figures.
The man suspected of orchestrating a drive-by shooting that killed a 24-year-old Turlock man, was arrested earlier this week in Idaho.
The Turlock Police Department is committed to helping the citizens of this community be safe and encourages people to file a police report if a crime has occurred. However, it is recommended that the drugs be left at home.
It has been more than two years since Hilmar resident Ken Winter lost his life in what law enforcement believe was an incident of road rage.
A woman under house arrest as part of the California prison realignment was found in possession of methamphetamine that she tried to conceal in a stuffed teddy bear, the Merced County Sheriff's Department reported.
The Turlock Police Department is investigating an attempted homicide in which a woman was stabbed Friday night.
A man who thought he was going to visit a friend instead became the victim of a robbery and a beating Thursday night.
A stop for a traffic violation Tuesday night led to the arrest of a father, his 14-year-old son and another adult on weapon and parole violation charges, the Turlock Police Department reported.
Here is a quick lesson in manners: If a business is kind enough to let you use their restroom without being a customer, the polite thing is to thank them and leave - and most importantly, don't steal anything on the way out.
A federal jury found an Atwater inmate guilty of 14 counts of attempting to file false liens and encumbrances against federal prison officers in violation of the Court Security Improvement Act of 2007.
Did you see a driver run a red light this weekend? According to a new report from the National Coalition for a Safer Roads, the Memorial Day holiday weekend has the most red-light violations.
A bomb-like device was discovered during the arrest of a Turlock man Sunday night that prompted the lockdown of a residential neighborhood, the Turlock Police Department reported.
The woman who was suspected of stealing donated money to a Turlock autistic child has been apprehended, the Turlock Police Department reported.
The California Highway Patrol will be conducting a crackdown on aggressive drivers traveling along Highway 99 beginning Friday.
A parole check of a Turlock man Wednesday afternoon led to the discovery of a makeshift hashish lab and the arrest of a 17-year-old boy.
Stephanie Shabazian is used to overcoming setbacks.
A Turlock man tried to avoid arrest by running from officers and then taking refuge in a stranger's attic.
A short but speedy pursuit ended with the arrest of an 18-year-old man and the recovery of a stolen shotgun.
A Turlock woman is standing accused of stealing a sports utility vehicle from an auto dealership then crashing it shortly afterwards.

Immunizations: Questions Parents Ask
Common Questions
Immunizations help protect you or your child from disease. Most are given as shots. They are sometimes called vaccines, or vaccinations. Here are some common questions that parents ask about these shots:
Why should my child get immunized?
- Protect your child from dangerous diseases and help to keep disease from spreading.
- Cost less than getting treated for the diseases.
- Have very few serious side effects.
- Often are needed before a child can attend school or day care.
- Prevent days out of work or school due to illness or caring for a sick person.
When should my child be immunized?
Ask your doctor what shots your child should get. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) keeps a list of shots needed for each age group.
Are immunizations really needed? Haven't we gotten rid of most diseases?
Widespread immunizations in the U.S. have led to a sharp drop in diseases. Better living conditions have also helped, but they aren't enough to protect you from disease.
Your child's body is prepared to fight disease better and faster if your child has had the infection before or if your child gets immunized.
Dangerous diseases, such as polio, still exist in other countries. Travelers can bring them into the U.S. So it's still very important to have your child immunized.
Do vaccines cause autism?
False claims in the news have made some parents concerned about a link between autism and vaccines. But studies have found no link between vaccines and autism. 1, 2
What are the side effects of vaccines?
Most side effects from vaccines are minor, if they occur at all.
The area where the shot was given may be sore. And some children may be fussy or get a slight fever. Your doctor or pharmacist can explain the reactions that could occur.
People who are allergic to eggs may have a reaction to the flu vaccine, which contains egg protein. If your child has an egg allergy, ask the doctor if your child can still get the flu vaccine.
Serious side effects are very rare. It's much more dangerous to risk getting the diseases than to risk having a serious reaction to the vaccines.
Isn't it dangerous to get more than one vaccine at a time?
No. Combined vaccines have no greater risk for side effects than a single vaccine does. 3
Some parents worry about their children getting several vaccines at the same time. They worry that a child's immune system can't handle all those vaccine organisms at the same time.
Getting more than one shot may seem like a lot for a child's body to handle. But babies have billions of immune system cells that are hard at work all the time, fighting the many thousands of germs they're exposed to every day.
More and more vaccines are being combined into a single shot, such as the measles-mumps-rubella shot. This means fewer shots need to be given. Even though the vaccines are combined, each gives the same protection as it would if it were given alone.
Is it okay to skip a shot when my child is sick?
On very rare occasions, your doctor may suggest waiting to have your child immunized. For example, you may need to wait when your child has:
- A history of serious allergic reaction to a vaccine.
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea, when dehydration is a concern.
- A serious illness, such as pneumonia , bronchiolitis , or a severe asthma attack.
But children usually can still get a shot even when they have a minor illness. This includes a cold or an ear infection. And children usually can still get a shot when they are taking antibiotics .
Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about having your child immunized.

Leather Pen Case
Never lose a pen cap again with this classic, all-leather case from Leather Factory Roberu. Slim, elegant, and available in three colors. Made in Japan. Ships free. (
The zipper cuts a dash through the leather of this pen case, emphasizing its classic feel. The zipper itself, made by Waldes, is a strong, brassy number that recalls the earliest clasp locks, with its big teeth and sturdy aesthetic.
It might not look too unfamiliar to a certain Elias Howe, who invented the sewing machine in 1851. The latter turned out to be a successful distraction from Howe's former pursuit—coming up with a working clothes fastener that didn't rely on buttons. Howe was close to becoming the "Father of the Zipper," but in the end that honor went to Whitcomb Jackson, whose 1893 patent was the first to get to market (although his tricky hook and eye device did not use the word "zipper").
Whitcomb's product debuted at the Chicago World's Fair, but met with little commercial success. It took one Gideon Sundback to increase the number of teeth from four to ten per inch. This entrepreneurial instinct ensured that within a year of starting production, Sundback's machine was producing several hundred feet of zipper each day. His 1917 patent was taken up by suppliers of military boots and clothing. The newly-named "zipper" finally overtook the button in popularity during the 1930s, with designers espousing its virtues wholeheartedly, promising an end to the "possibility of unintentional and embarrassing disarray" in gentleman's clothing.
This is the newest addition to Roberu's fine line of leather goods, and part of their Spring/Summer Collection for 2012. The cases come in four colors: tan, bordeaux, navy, and red.
Use & Care
The cases will last for years as part of a travel or home stationery kit. As with any premium leather good, it's unwise to allow them prolonged exposure to water or heat.
Production & Design
Leather Factory Roberu has been crafting leather goods using natural tannins for four years. All skins are steeped in a proprietary tanning solution using only vegetable-derived tannins. They are then dried, cut to spec, and crafted into Roberu's signature goods. Made in Yokohama.

Mexican police train with FBI, San Antonio police
MALLET program trains select group of Mexican officers every year
Mexican federal police trained with their American colleagues Wednesday at the San Antonio Police Training Academy, as part of a federal program designed to teach Mexican law enforcement the latest tactics developed in the U.S.
The program is called Mexican American Liaison and Law Enforcement Training, and is in its 18th year of operation.
It's run by the FBI in conjunction with other local law enforcement agencies like SAPD.
Each year, a select group of Mexican law enforcement officials are brought stateside to learn the latest tactics -- everything from building entry to traffic stops.
"It's really beneficial to both sides, as our two countries work extremely closely together in the solving of crimes," said Special Agent Erik Vasys, of the FBI's San Antonio office.
The Mexican officers will be in San Antonio for three days.

In addition to the University's commitment to academic quality, University of Phoenix is dedicated to social responsibility as demonstrated though a variety of initiatives.
We are pleased to announce that University of Phoenix is among the top ten colleges and universities that utilize green power, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. We purchase nearly 69 million kilowatt hours of green energy annually – the equivalent of powering more than 64,000 average American homes per year.
At University of Phoenix, we recognize our responsibility to take care of the earth for ourselves and future generations. We understand the importance of sustaining the natural resources we all share and are working to improve our own operations. As an institution of higher learning, we also know that, through environmental responsibility, we can play a vital role in educating the environmental stewards of today and tomorrow.
As the largest private university in North America, University of Phoenix is a part of many communities across the country. In each community, we enable area residents to reach their educational goals while keeping their commitments to their families and employers.
But University of Phoenix doesn't stop at providing quality educational opportunities. Through our community investment program, we proudly support a variety of organizations and charities that enrich the communities we call home.
The University of Phoenix Foundation was established in 2006 by the University's founder, Dr. John Sperling, who was inspired by 30 years of witnessing the life-changing power of education.
The mission of the Foundation is to increase access to education, especially for underrepresented and low-income students traditionally under-served by the education continuum, in an effort to provide a pathway for economic advancement. To fulfill this mission, the University of Phoenix Foundation provides grants to qualified public charities.

The social network launches its one-stop shop for up-to-date information on the presidential election, state races, and ballot propositions.
Citizens shared the majority of their photos immediately after the president's victory was projected.
Voters who applied for an e-mail or fax ballot will have until Friday evening to file their ballot with county clerks.
As Americans go to the polls, many are pulling their smartphone out of their pockets and snapping photos of their voting experience. Just be careful about sharing photos of your ballot, some say.
The role of the Internet grows every election. Soon its uniqueness will no longer be unique -- and, argues Marc Andreessen, elections will be entirely online.

plhtml -- server side scripting in perl
plhtml is a preprocessor for html documents. Its purpose is to simplify the work of writing large numbers of HTML documents. It acts like a compiler, i.e. you provide an input source text and plhtml produces the HTML documents. Unlike many other programs of this type plhtml does actually report the line number in the html input file if it comes across a syntax error. This makes it very easy to find faults.
cdspeed -- decrease the speed of your cdrom
Modern cdrom drives are too fast. It can take several
seconds on a 60x speed cdrom drive to spin it up and read
data from the drive. The result is that these drives are
just a lot slower than a 8x or 24x drive. This is
especially true if you are only occasionally (e.g every 5
seconds) reading a small file. This utility limits the
speed, makes the drive less noisy and the access time
faster. cdspeed is also very good if you prefer to listen
to the musik on your mp3 CDs rather then the noise of
your CD drive.

Of the 100 million or so bacteria that are proposed to exist, how many distinct species can one identify? How can these different species be identified: By size, shape color, growth rate?

Microorganisms are the most fundamental, diverse, and prevalent biological organisms that inhabit the earth today. Prokaryotic microorganisms, organisms without a nucleus, can be generally divided into three classes: bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. By far the most predominant of these three classes of organisms would include bacteria, single celled organisms which inhabit every type of environment on earth, and which have been in existence for greater than 3.5 billion years. Bacteria are ubiquitous, and are found in almost any environment. They thrive in the hot environments of deep sea sulfur vents, the frozen tundra of the Antarctic, the saline environments of the Dead Sea, and extremely acidic environments such as the stomachs of organisms. In this science fair project, you will investigate what kind of bacteria, and how much bacteria, grows in different locations around your home.
Bacteria can be both pathogenic, responsible for a variety of diseases, and non-pathogenic, or harmless. Pathogenic bacteria are responsible for the outbreaks of cholera, tuberculosis, and gonorrhea, whereas non-pathogenic bacteria have many roles, which include the symbiotic residence in the stomachs and intestines of humans, the break down indigestible foods, and in return, producing necessary nutrients, such as Vitamin K. Moreover, a variety of naturally occurring antibiotics are synthesized from bacteria, such as streptomycin.
The non-pathogenic and ubiquitous E. coli bacterial strain, isolated from the guts of humans, is the most commonly grown laboratory organism. E. coli is used to produce drugs, such as insulin and human growth hormone, and is a commonly used organism in almost all biotechnology laboratories, producing a variety of reagents used by the typical scientific researcher.
Terms and ConceptsAny basic biology text will have a chapter on prokaryotic organisms. Begin by reading a text on basic microbiology, such as Chapter 16 in Biology, Exploring Life, by Campbell, Williamson, and Heyden. Topics and terms which should be researched include:
- Prokaryote vs. eukaryote
- Gram-negative vs. gram positive bacteria
- Pathogenic vs. non-pathogenic bacteria
- Bacterial motility
- Phototrophs vs. autotrophs vs. chemotrophs vs. heterotrophs
- Anaerobic vs. aerobic bacteria
- Symbiotic bacteria and their importance to higher organisms
- Bacteria, and E. coli, as scientific research tools

Experimental Procedure
For health and safety reasons, science fairs regulate what kinds of biological materials can be used in science fair projects. You should check with your science fair's Scientific Review Committee before starting this experiment to make sure your science fair project complies with all local rules. Many science fairs follow Intel® International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) regulations. For more information, visit these Science Buddies pages: Projects Involving Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents and Scientific Review Committee. You can also visit the webpage ISEF Rules & Guidelines directly.
- Identify 9 different locations where you would like to assess biodiversity. Suggested sites could include the bathroom, kitchen, locations near heating vents, bedrooms, the refrigerator, the backyard, the garage, etc.
- At each site, place 2 nutrient agar plates per site. Use the permanent marker to label the bottom of each plate with its location. Leave the plates open and exposed for a period of 48 hours.
- An additional two plates should be unopened and used as negative controls. In other words, you'll study what grows on these plates even though you never expose them to the air. (Hopefully, very little if anything will grow!) Use the permanent marker to write "negative control" on the bottom of each of these plates.
- At the end of 48 hours, seal plates with heavy-duty tape or saran wrap.
- Allow the plates to incubate by placing all of them in one single location that has a fairly constant room temperature (about 22 degrees Celsius) for 1-3 weeks, until distinct bacterial colonies can be observed. (Don't forget to put the two, unopened control plates in this same location.)
- Collect data over the course of the three weeks. Every other day, write down the number of colonies, the color, and the size in your lab notebook.
- After the end of the three week period, make various graphs of the data. Suggestions include, but are not
limited to:
- Colony count on each plate.
- Colony count at each location (take an average of two plates).
- Different types of microorganisms, based upon:
- Size
- Color
- Shape
- Keep the microbial plates during the duration of your project, and while you are writing up your paper. You will want to make many observations.
Discussion Points to Consider When Writing up the Results
- Which environmental areas resulted in the most microbial growth?
- What environmental features unique to those locations might facilitate microbial growth?
- Moisture content?
- Air circulation?
- Cleanliness?
- What environmental features unique to those locations might facilitate microbial growth?
- Based upon your background reading, can you possibly identify any of the bacterial/microbial colonies
based upon their morphological features? Tip: The Science Buddies guide to Interpreting Plates should be helpful.
- Color?
- Shape?
- Size?
- If you had access to reagents in a common laboratory, how could you use more sophisticated methods to type, classify, and characterize the individual colonies?
- Based upon your background reading, what percentage of the microbial organisms that are present in your environment did you isolate and identify?
Bacterial Safety
Bacteria are all around us in our daily lives and the vast majority of them are not harmful. However, for maximum safety, all bacterial cultures should always be treated as potential hazards. This means that proper handling, cleanup, and disposal are necessary. Below are a few important safety reminders. You can also see the Microorganisms Safety Guide for more details. Additionally, many science fairs follow ISEF Rules & Guidelines, which have specific guidelines on how bacteria and other microorganisms should be handled and disposed of.
- Keep your nose and mouth away from tubes, pipettes, or other tools that come in contact with bacterial cultures, in order to avoid ingesting or inhaling any bacteria.
- Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling bacteria.
- Proper Disposal of Bacterial Cultures
- Bacterial cultures, plates, and disposables that are used to manipulate the bacteria should be soaked in a 10% bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) for 1–2 hours.
- Use caution when handling the bleach, as it can ruin your clothes if spilled, and any disinfectant can be harmful if splashed in your eyes.
- After bleach treatment is completed, these items can be placed in your normal household garbage.
- Cleaning Your Work Area
- At the end of your experiment, use a disinfectant, such as 70% ethanol, a 10% bleach solution, or a commercial antibacterial kitchen/bath cleaning solution, to thoroughly clean any surfaces you have used.
- Be aware of the possible hazards of disinfectants and use them carefully.

Great eyeliner
By COG inAZ
from Phoenix, AZ
I like using pencil eyeliners but often they don't go on evenly or difficult to apply. This product is hands down the best eyeliner I have ever used. It goes on smoothly with just the right width and doesn't flake. I am going to order more.
My favorite eyeliner now
By Kathy
from Indianapolis, IN
Doesn't clump at all. Easy to apply. I don't mind not having a cap for the applicator since the eyeliner screws all the way down into it. It's just ridiculous that you must buy the applicator separately! (Thus minus one star)The brown is a bit light on me, but I got it on sale. The product lasts about 3-5 months with daily use. I just purchased 2 more refills in black and they're sure to be here asap as usual.
By Swan
from Carlisle, PA
My skin seems to soak up makeup and disappear in a short time, but this eyeliner hangs in better than most. Easy to apply and blend.

A total waste of money
By Lorna
from Ridgewood
I have loved most DHC products and also love the convenience of ordering online. i always read reviews before buying and have found them trustworthy and valuable. Therefore though I have not had luck with pencil liner in the past, according to the reviews, thought this one would be different. With or without softening my eyelids this pencil in black will not apply, certainly does not "glide" on and the color does not come out looking black. I am very disappointed about this pencil since I thought it would finally replace my liquid liner which seems "dated" to me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
It's just OK
By Babs
from PA
This is not the best eye definer that I have used. It does not stay on and I'm not crazy about such a little pencil - doesn't look like it would last very long.
Love it!
By Kim
from Mesa, AZ
Goes on very smoothly!
Love the Eye Liner
By Em Loves to shop
from Dixon, CA
My 17 year old daughter will only use this eye liner! I order several at a time!
By La Toi
from San Diego, CA
Works really well for precision. The color lasted well on the top lid, but not on the bottom lid. I wish it lasted longer because it' applications a pretty color. Other than the application benefits, it's similar to drugstore eyeliners.
Never Sharpen Your Eyeliner Pencil Again

from Franklin, TN
I love the perfect pro application system. The twist-up applicator makes using the product so easy.

I don't know that they mean by "feels true to size", because it's not exactly a scientific term. However, I tried a large in a similar burton jacket and it fit, but it was snug. I returned it for this one in an XL, since they had run out of the other jacket in XL. The XL I bought is approximately 28" long from the collar to the bottom and 46" around. I am 5'2", so this jacket hangs down lower on me than it would on a taller person, and I need more room for my hips. I absolutely love this jacket. It is warm, but not bulky and with layers underneath I have a feeling it will be perfect for my upcoming snowboarding adventure. However, I would not call this a true black. If you think you are getting a black jacket you are not. It is more of a harringbone...brown and black. For me, this is a plus. I can wear it with brown and black pants.

About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
I went snowboarding for the first time and bought this jacket for it. I was super dry and amazingly warm all day up at the mountain. The sleeves are a little longer than most jackets I own, but I was glad they were in the long run. I might just buy another one in a different color!!

I received this jacket and was so happy I got it. The fit was true to size and its very flattering, not bulky at all. It's also very warm. I'm sure it will be great when I start snowboarding this season
By Dianebanana
from West Michigan
I live in Michigan where we can get pretty nasty storms. This is perfect - warm, lightweight, semi-fitted but still room to layer. Walked my dog when it was super windy, hardly felt a thing! Only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because the collar is a little stiff (zips past my lips).
Amazing, Flattering Ski Jacket
By Sam the Skiier
from Fort Collins, CO
I have used this jacket in the unpredictable Colorado springtime and it has been fantastic. It can handle anything from heavy snows, freezing blowing winds, rain, and even warmer temperatures. It is a great jackets and fits perfectly, with a cut that is not too bulky and flattering on a female frame. I absolutely love this jacket!
My daughter absolutely loves this jacket
By Snowbunny
from Vermont
I bought this coat for my 16 year old daughter. She is very style conscious and just loves this coat. The color is beautiful and the fit is stylish. She wears it to school and snowboarding. We live in Vermont and it has been warm enough this winter. I had to buy her a size large even though she is quite small, 5'3" and 122 lbs. She normally wears a woman's medium.
She loved it!
By Andy
from Richmond, VA
The jacket is great! I bought it for my girlfriend. I bought a medium and a small for her to try on. The small was wonderful in all ways except the sleeves were long and the shoulders were too right to bend down and tighten snowboard bindings. The small was a great size for just walk around wear I suppose but this was intended to be a snowboard jacket. Unfortunately that means with the medium the sleeves were ridiculously long! But she still loves it and it fits great in all other ways (and looks great!)! Returning the small was easy!

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great Jacket!!
By Jnewyen
from Los Angeles
Jacket was really nice. I purchased for my Girlfriend because we were in the market for a new jacket since her old one was a bit "snug". The jacket fit great and left plenty of room to layer. The sleeves I read ran a little long but we didn't have any issues once her mittens were on. Overall it was a great jacket. It's stylish, comfortable, and overall just a great buy. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good jacket to toss into your rotation.

I love the Burton Jet Set Jacket! I can wear this jacket on the hill and in the streets! This jacket has a great tailored fit for a great classic look in the streets, but has all the features you need for the hill!

|January is National Walk Your Dog Month!
|Page 2
|All Pages
Right in time for New Year's Resolutions, January is National Walk Your Dog Month!
Here are ten reasons why walking your dog is beneficial:
1. Provides an outlet for their energy. Dogs build up a certain amount of energy every day that needs to be expended. If it doesn't happen through walking, it will often result in bad, destructive behavior or separation anxiety. You may have heard that a tired dog is a well-behaved dog, and also, a bored dog can become a bad dog. A good walk can also significantly calm a hyper or energetic dog.
2. Walking aids greatly in training your dog. Draining energy results in a calmer, satisfied and more submissive dog who is much more likely to focus on you and your training. The walk itself should be a time of training. Done correctly, it can reinforce the bond between you and your dog and will help to establish you as the pack leader. Remember that you should be in control and walking your dog, not him in control and walking you. See future articles for tips on training your dog to walk properly on a loose leash.
3. Fulfills his natural roaming and exploring instincts. In nature dogs walk as a pack and roam for miles every day searching for food and water. Even though your dog is not a wild dog, walking is still in their natural instinct. Dogs are working, thinking animals that need a purpose beyond just sitting or sleeping all day long. Walking provides a sense of direction and accomplishment. Regular walks can help prevent her desire to run away or bolt out the door in an attempt to fulfill that roaming instinct.
4. Provides both physical and mental stimulation. Exploring their surroundings with their senses is also an instinctual activity for dogs. During the course of a walk your dog will be exposed to all sorts of smells, sights and sounds. This also acts as a mental workout for the brain.
5. Provides much needed social interaction. Socialization is an important part of any dog's life, especially in their early years. When walking you will most likely encounter other people, children and other dogs. This will help to build her confidence and social skills. Dogs who are not walked can become more fearful and shy, or might lack the necessary social skills to interact with people and other dogs.
6. Provides exposure to a wide variety of "worldly" things, creating a more confident and stable dog. A dog who is walked often will become more comfortable around all sorts of things such as bicycles, skateboards, traffic noises, loud trucks, mailmen, etc. Dogs without this exposure can become fearful, skittish and territorial, seeing every strange sound, vehicle or person as a threat. Many dogs who bark constantly are barking out of fear of everything they hear or see that is strange to them. If you walk the same route regularly, it can also possibly assist your dog in finding his way home if he gets out of your yard and lost.
