Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Emotions run high as Todd's Trot turns 10
Sunday, March 31, 2013
DURHAM — This time of year is always emotional for Bob and Sally Heuchling.
"He liked to take off and go," Bob added.
Thus the race serves not only to honor Todd's memory, but also to allow FORT to stay alive and vital in the Durham community as it pursues its ultimate dream of building a high school track.
"Even though I ran behind him, pleading that he didn't have to," said Sally with a laugh. "He ran the entire race from start to finish. It took him an hour. He was one of the last people."
Bob and Sally tell the story of the year that a cadet overslept and missed the bus to Durham for the race. He begged an upperclassman to let him borrow his car and drove to New Hampshire all by himself. He arrived at the high school and the race was over. He got course directions, ran the entire race by himself and then got directions to the Heuchling house and arrived there late that afternoon for the barbecue, which the Heuchlings give for the cadets, race volunteers and friends and family. |

epistle in liturgy
Scripture selection most frequently from one of the letters, or Epistles of the Apostles read at Mass after the Collects, at the priest's right-hand side of the altar and therefore called the Epistle side. It is also called Lesson. As a rule there is only one, but on some days in Lent, ember-days, there are several. At High Mass the Epistle is read aloud in one tone by the sub-deacon.

Renal papillary necrosis is a disorder of the kidneys in which all or part of the renal papillae die. The renal papillae are the areas where the openings of the collecting ducts enter the kidney, and where the urine flows into the ureters.
Necrosis - renal papillae; Renal medullary necrosis
Renal papillary necrosis usually occurs with analgesic nephropathy . However, a number of other conditions can cause it, including:
Sickle cell anemia is a common cause of renal papillary necrosis in children.
Tissue death (necrosis ) of the renal papillae may make the kidney unable to concentrate the urine. Symptoms may include:
Other symptoms that may ocur with this disease:
The area over the affected kidney (in the flank) may feel tender during an exam. There may be a history of urinary tract infections. There may be signs of obstructive uropathy or kidney failure.
A urinalysis may show infection or dead tissue in the urine.
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) may show a blockage or tissue in the renal pelvis or ureter.
How well a person does depends on what is causing the condition. If the cause can be controlled, the condition may go away on its own. In some cases, persons with this condition develop kidney failure and will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
There is no specific treatment for renal papillary necrosis. Treatment depends on the cause. For example, if analgesic nephropathy is the cause, your doctor will recommend that you stop using the medicine that is causing it. This may allow the kidney to heal over time.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
Controlling diabetes or sickle cell anemia may reduce your risk. To prevent renal papillary necrosis from analgesic nephropathy, be careful when using medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers.

February 12, 2009 - For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana – In a unique and challenging live sound application, Audio Analysts of Colorado Springs, CO utilized Crown I-Tech amplifiers for the monitor system at the Super Bowl XLIII Halftime Show featuring Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL on February 1, 2009. This year's Super Bowl was broadcast to 230 countries worldwide and was viewed by a total of 94.5 million people in the United States alone.
"All wedge amplifiers were Crown I-Tech, we utilized about 32 for the various mixes and they performed great during the show, stated Albert Leccese, Vice President of Engineering and Owner of Audio Analysts. "We've come to rely on Crown amplifiers in many of our major live sound applications, they are excellent because of the high level of control and power they offer."
Crown I-Tech amplifiers feature advanced DSP processing and a built-in LCD screen on the front panel allowing for basic features and amplifier status to be accessed from the amplifier's location. Additionally, the reduced size and weight of the I-Tech series and low power needs make it a versatile amplifier that can be used in any live sound application.
"We've always utilized Crown and I-Tech is a great amplifier because it's light weight and it gives you a lot of power. Having worked with Bruce Springsteen for the last 17 years we know how hard he works to deliver the best show possible to his audience. Our goal is always to ensure that everyone from the band to the audience is getting the best sound possible," added Leccese.

Hello, this is my third year checking out this con, first time tabling. It's always made me very happy. As a weirdo multimedia artist, the whole ~*~GRAPHICS~*~ part makes me feel very included. Also, I find it to be a unique (and mangeable) crowd comprised of creative, innovative types that cultivate excitement and smart discussion. I tabled with some truly inspirational humans, check all them out at Crystal Club. Overall I felt warmth and acceptance, which is something I haven't been feeling in the other places I inhabit. I drifted around person to person like a happy cloud.
fig. 1 Things I want to talk about:
dw- Did you know Mr. Kid Clampdown draws on graph paper? Well it's true, I know because I own an original now. I should've bought his new print, it's beautiful, but I don't have the space or ability to display nice prints right now. His intricate line work makes sense as a layered color print.
Foe Books- Do you know what makes sense? Printing dithered, black and white dot compensated images as a beautifully composed and considered book. Laura Brothers' work makes for a brilliant optical experience. Books like this prove that printed material does not have to fear digital process, and needs to embrace its potential.
JUNG/FRANKENSTEIN- Daniel Newman and Mike Taylor put together an eclectic, sort've sketch-book book. I enjoy looking at it and consulting the title key page in the front. I can tap into their thinking a bit, like a name plate in a gallery without the sterility. Mike's really smart, we tabled next to his (Providence corner I guess) he asked me some really insightful questions, I wish I got to pick his brain more.
John Pham- Holy shit, I feel like you all know who John Pham is already, but I fucking didn't, why didn't you tell me!? I instantly gravitated to Scuzzi and Super Toy and bought them on the spot. Looking at them gives me the same overwhelming, detailed vintage sci-fi boner I got from Stray Light Gray. He told me he's an animator too, I wanna see that. He also gave me a zine of drawings and optical lines that utilizes the transparency of the page and the subtlety of off-pink, day glo orange and green to create some beautiful effects. If I was a judge on the panel for the Risograph awards…I'd probably…I don't know…
Anthony Cudahy- For Thirst really captures the feeling of trying to squeeze water from a stone. That's kind've what I took from his newest zine. His dusty, light drawings and drifting subjects don't allow you to feel presence. He creates subtlety that's internally refreshing.
2013- Kathrina's an amazing person of multiple talents. Their calendar is such a treat, each month is another comfy scuzz world I love inhabiting and relating to. There's even a menstrual chart! That's SOOO useful!!
Kawaii- I love seeing Slow Youth's take on the Kawaii theme. I'm really glad they didn't sacrifice their graphic style for the sake of their theme. They did an excellent job on layout and color consideration, it's a fantastic art-object.
THICKNESS 3- Thickness 3, Thickness 3. That is all. No, oh my gosh, I'm so happy to own this now. I didn't think it could get sexier, HOW DID IT GET SEXIER? Maybe 'cause it's noticeably more queer this time around and that's more arousing to me. But holy shit, it's also brutally, beautifully, fetishistic. Psyched about the inclusion of Tagame and Burkholder. The printing is spot-on and clever. Best contemporary presentation of porn comics.
Eye of Horus- Alabaster's new zine combines the golden age of illustration (particularly Beardsley), Egypt, and a healthy layer of scuzz to create something fantastic and refreshing. I think Allie might be in a class of her own.
In the Up Part of the Wave- Lala Albert's work as this giant printed newspaper is just serene. The sea colors with the pink is gorgeous. The compositions are like an Ito manga if Ito knew how to be graceful. I love her gross alien face stuff, but I found this zine to be particularly enriching.
fig. 2 Stuff I love in ways I've already explained a bunch (wait I love Pixel Dog so much I forgot to get Zach Hazard's new zine)/stuff I haven't been able to process
fig. 3 CRYSTAL CLUB TABLE! DAILEN! ROCK ON!
fig. 4 Excited trades I'm excited about from Emely B. (Kanye Tamagotchi), Pete Toms, Alex Degen (This zine is 2 pages and it's the funniest thing I've consumed in a while, the humor is on par with Serafinowicz/Popper, my comedic heroes. AD: funniest dude in comics), Katbus Brawl, Aleks Sennwald, Kat Fajardo, Kim Te/Katbus/Meg/Me (friendship zine), BMFU (the killer collection), Geoff (he pulled a comic out of nowhere, isn't that great?), James McShane (Fun Fact: James loves horror manga just as much as any of us nards!), and Slongo.
Well I basically made a tiny bit more than I paid for the table, but it's fine, I just wanted to trade, and as you can see I made out like a bandit. I love everyone though, stuff like this challenges me in just the right way. Hope to see physical manifestations of everyone again soon. Be sure to check me out in upcoming editions of Happiness, Throat and Jeans. Also I'm having another installation at Purchase in a couple weeks?! I know, I dunno.

That is an insult to orangetom. He is of much finer intellect and insight than myself.
I'll take it as a compliment though. I admire him a great deal.
But no..we're not the same person. For starters, I am female . You can tell by our posts that he is more educated, and much more eloquent at delivering his thoughts than I am .
I'm going to assume that was a joke Humphreys, because I expected more insight from you as well.

I don't see it happening. Quick showed last night that he's not in "invincible brick wall" mode (or at least not as continuously as last year) and Chicago is just too talented up front. Kings losing Richards hurt big time, Brown and Kopitar aren't scoring... the Kings have arrived at the place where now it's the big boys playing and they can't hang. I think they'll win one game out in LA then drop the series when it goes back to Chicago. 4:1 Hawks series win.

COLBY -- The Hays Monarchs picked up a doubleheader sweep of Colby on Wednesday night.
Hays held off a Colby rally to win 10-7 in the opener, then won 12-3 in five innings in the nightcap to improve to 7-5 for the summer.
In the first game, Hays had a 10-2 lead heading to the bottom of the sixth, but the Monarchs allowed three runs in the sixth and two in the fifth, but held off the surge. Starter Jordan Gottschalk got the win in five innings. He gave up two runs on four hits with four walks and two strikeouts. Grant Romme gave up the five runs in in the sixth and didnt' record an out before leaving in the seventh. Shane Zimmerman finsihed the game.

In the nightcap, Hays scored eight runs in the first inning, then four in the fifth to set the run-rule in a win for Brin (2-1). Brin pitched 4.1 innings and gave up three earned runs on four hits with five walks and three strikeouts. Werth pitched the final two thirds on an inning.
Brin collected two doubles offesnively and drove in a run. he finished 2 for 3 with three runs scored. Zimmerman finished 2 for 4 with a run scored and an RBI.

Colours: Grey
Weather-wise, in the Portland area November stops being fall and starts being winter abruptly and wetly. The darkening skies of incoming winter storms mean grey is the perfect colour to focus on this month.
More often than not called "silver", "charcoal", "graphite", "anthracite" or "slate", grey is a wonderful neutral that stays surprisingly neutral (though some styles tend more blue or yellow). A mutable hue, it's greatly affected by what it is next to, like these O Chevrons (and an A Chevron) show for our Dream Stockings in Grey and in Charcoal.
Grey falls into about three categories: light, medium and dark, as you can see by how I sorted out my bins of examples.
Disclaimer time! I'm not trying to define grey. If you want some poem-like lists of names for shades of grey, both Wikipedia and the Color Sorting Wiki are kind of amazing resources. I've done my best to accurately represent these hues in relation to each other, so you can gather a good idea of what matches and what doesn't. There are a lot of greys from our suppliers, so I'm not going to clutter your monitor with all of them, just representative examples.
Dream Stockings and Dreamer Socks
We have a pretty lovely range of grey, if I say so myself! From light to dark, we've got 'em in lots of different fibers (including the Dreamer Acrylic Slouch Socks in Silver Grey that I forgot to add here)!
From left to right: O Woolies, Extraordinary Thigh Highs, Cotton Slouch Socks, N40s, Extraordinary Thigh Highs, Cotton Slouch Socks, N40s
Tending to the darker side of grey, with Graphites and Charcoals, B.Ella does have some interesting lighter shades as well in a few styles.
From left to right: Gregorio Wool Bootsocks, Sergei Recycled Cotton No Shows, Zena Knee Sock, Bess Cashmere Slouch Rib Knee Sock, Ginger Ribbed Knee High, Pantera Jersey Dress Midcalf, Kayla Stripe Trouser Sock, Erika Microfiber Tights
Just a single shade, really, Anthracite is the fanciest-named grey we carry.
From left to right: Cotton Overknee, Ribbed Wool OTK
EG Smith
Just two shades of grey here, but both medium and dark greys covered nicely!
From left to right: Heather Socklings, Heather Bobby Socklings
Foot Traffic
Tending towards marled, Foot Traffic offers some nice greys that go a bit bluer in the microfiber versions.
From left to right: Signature Cotton Tights, Textured Cable Acrylic OTK, Cotton Rag Bootsock, Microfiber Stirrup Legging, Signature Cotton Tights, Opaque Nylon Trouser Sock, Fleece Lined Knee High, Super-Long Ribbed Leg Warmer
From light silvery grey to dark Night Grey, Tabbisocks offers a lovely range of greys across several fibers.
From left to right: Crochet Lover OTK, Harajuku Arm Warmers, Basic Tabi Socks, Harajuku Arm Warmers, Cotton Tabi OTK, Crochet Look Tights, Harajuku Arm Warmers, Harajuku Scrunchy Socks
Bottom row: Color Tights in Silver Grey, Color Tights in Dark Grey
Most of the various greys that are only represented by one or two styles in other brands fall in the medium to medium-darker grey range. I'm just showing some good representative examples below.
From top to bottom: MP Cotton Lined Wool Tights, High Waist Crop Legging, Leaf Pattern Fleece Arm Warmers
Grey falls into some pretty simple categories: light, medium, dark and tending to yellow or blue. Check out the breakdowns after the jump!

Leg warmers, Scrunchable & Ribbed
Okay, for real now, it's leg warmer season. My ankles are cold and after a couple of days of complaining about it I remembered all the leg warmers I have exactly for this season. I think most folks don't consider leg warmers as a dated fashion accessory any more, they're just a perfect way to stop drafts between your shoe and pants, or to add another layer over leggings or under boots.
How much leg warmer you want is going to vary though. How much scrunch can you handle? Do you need 'em to go up as high as they can for extra cold mornings? Are they going over pants or bare legs and tights? Well, we have two styles that each have two coverage levels that might just be exactly what you're looking for.
Let's look at the two main styles and then we can compare!
Long Cuffable Warmers
Though originally only available in a 33 inch length, the Long Cuffable Scrunchable Leg Warmers now come in a shorter version for folks who just don't need that much leg warmer. The Shorty Scrunchable Warmers, a mere 20 inches long, are also available in bolder, more jewel-toned colours. Both are made in the classic cotton blend most of our Dream Stocking styles are, which is great for folks who want warmth without fuzzy halos.
With a stretch of 21 inches at the "top" cuff, the longer version is good option for slimmer thighs that would like their leg warmers to stay up. The shorties have a 22 inch stretch throughout and are great for folks with shorter inseams who just don't want that much legwarmer and fuller calves that want a leg warmer without all the extra length. They also make a great sleeve-style arm warmer!
Ribbed Knit Leg Warmers
A Foot Traffic classic, they come in the 40 inch Super Long Ribbed Leg Warmers and the shorter Ribbed Knit Leg Warmers, which are 20 inches long. Fuzzy in texture, they're 70% acrylic, which means they dry fast, so they're awesome in snowy or rainy weather. A couple of the colours are available in both lengths, but the long version has some new, ultra-delicious options that we're in love with.
The Super Long Ribbed have one cuff that is tighter, stretching to only 25 inches (24 for the Charcoal), the body and cuff at the other end stretch to 30 inches! The shorter version have less stretch, with 20 inches at the tighter cuff, 27 inches at the other cuff and 29 inches in the body of the leg warmer.
Now, let's compare!
Or, if I may, let's see how they stack up against each other. . .
Both styles, as you may have noticed from my descriptions, have a tighter cuff and a looser cuff. The tighter cuff is supposed to be the "top", and is tighter because of the thin bands of elastic threaded through the top row of stitches.
The "bottom" cuff is just the finished, ruffly end of the legwarmer itself, so it has practically the same stretch as the rest of the warmer—uninhibited by elastic's rules, man.
And you too can reject what's supposed to be up or down and wear them as you will! Most ankles are narrower than calves and thighs, so it works out well to have the less stretchy bit down there. Keep in mind, though, that the stretchier end has little stay-up power and will need to be paired with a sock garter like the Simply Adjustables to stay up through your day.
Texture-wise, the ribbed knit legwarmers are fuzzy, wuzzy and (for some folks) a little itchy when worn against thin tights or bare skin. Due to their killer stretch, that works out well, as they are AMAZING over pants and a lot of legs find they will go even over jeans.
The Scrunchables are a thinner cotton and a little snugger. So they have a sleeker look, both in texture and how they fit against and over you. I personally find them less than ideal to go over trousers, but they are perfect over tights and leggings.
So, two different leg warmers that are also very similar. Between them, four singular styles to select from to keep those ankles draft-free and to add another layer of warmth as we snowball into winter!

Happy Halloween!
Halloween might be one of our favourite times of year here at Sock Dreams. It's one of the reasons why our Halloween category is easy to find year-round. Normally by now on the Sock Journal I'd have talked at least once about costumes and given you ideas, but all of you are clearly on top of it this year! We've seen so many cool combos of styles go out this month, you all are really making our season.
Since this year was full of some fabulously Halloween-riffic new styles, let's just revel in a bit of Halloween trend goodness on this day o' spooky and costumes. Some are out of stock at the moment (due to this being the season they're most in demand) but, if you're anything like a lot of us Dreamers, the visual themes of Halloween aren't limited to one month of the year, so we're sure you'll find a use even in spring time for . . .
Cats! Like that familiar familiar, the black cat,
• Black Cat Slipper Socks •
• Black Cat Tights •
• Black Kitty Crew •
• Cat Tights •
Or the sideways-talking Cheshire cat.
• M Stripes •
• Cheshire Cat Striped Tights •
• Purple Knees •
Even more classic are movie monsters!
• Mummy Crew •
• Vampire Kiss Knee High •
• Zombie vs. Werewolf Midcalf •
• Bride of Frankenstein Knee High •
And of course there's just the general spookiness of spiders, bats and eyeballs.
• Bats out Knee Socks •
• Micro Net Black Widow Tights •
• Creepy Eyeball Knee High •
Okay, I'm going to close with a real nerdy thing. I noticed this year that black and orange aren't the hot Halloween colours. Both in what people are buying and what I've seen out and about. So I made some pretty ridiculous graphs of our two big Halloween brands because I know y'all are nerds too.
In Leg Avenue striped styles, the clear winner is Black & White. Then comes Black & Purple, with Rainbow and Black & Red about tied! The predominance of Pink & Purple stripes purchased from Leg Avenue is what prompted their addition to this pumpkin pie chart. A lot of sneaky Cheshire Cats about this year!
Now, in Dream Stockings and Dreamer Socks, we see more folks getting the basics they need to finish off a more complex look. Stripes aren't as stratospheric a seller. Unless you're rainbows, that is! Between the various Radiant and Harvest Rainbows, plus the Rainbow Dreams, you folks are representing all the colours! Classic Black & Orange is much higher on the list for Dream Stockings. We are embarrassed to admit how long it took us to add Black as an option in the Orange Knees, but dang we're glad we did!
Remember, seeing how you use our socks in your costumes gives us undead creatures of the night life! Tag us on Tumbr, share with us on Facebook, give us a virtual trick-or-treat of how awesome you all are. ♥
Have a happy Halloween and may your evening's celebrations be bountiful!

October Dreamers Recommend!
October! A time of magic and mystery and cooling weather. There's no better month for the original Dreamer, Niq, to be born! The founder and President of Sock Dreams, she's probably got the hardest time of all of us trying to pick a favourite sock to recommend to you all this month.
A long time ago, though, when she was the one writing the Sock Journal, Niq posted a sock of the day (or other sort of little updates). So she's had her toes in just about every style we carry and have carried! That's a lot of sock memory that can cloud up what one's current fave style is.
To buy her some time, let's look at some old favourites from Niq's daily sock postings that we still carry. Because oldies are goodies and I'm forever thankful that not all socks are seasonal!
In this post from 2003, Niq layers the Ribbed Knit Leg Warmers with the Fuzzy Toe Socks. You can see that the purple has changed some, but her love of toe socks hasn't!
Nor has her love of layering socks! Nowadays I'll often see her with a floral crew over an OTK (regularly Cronert), but she'll still often pair scrunch with smooth, like in this post from 2005:
Sure, we don't have that colourway in Boy's Socks any longer, but the style thrives on! That also goes for the EG Smith Original Bootsocks, which may have gone away for a while but are once again a staple of Niq's sock drawers.
Speaking of which, here's a newer fave that we first saw in 2010, the O Rayons!
And, it's another one of our delicious Dream Stockings that Niq picked for her current fave! Here's what she says:
Narrowing my favorite socks down to a single pair was not an easy task for me but the Super Dreamy won out because they're like a security blanket for my legs and feet, comforting all the way to my soles. I love them for traveling, especially during the chillier months, because they layer well and can turn a tank top or t-shirt into a perfect pair of pajamas that can also double as a great base for my daywear.
Most truthfully, her current favourite are a pair of Cronert that aren't live yet. But that's par for the course, Cronert's deliciously soft cotton and lovely patterns are Niq's kryptonite and have been for a long time. The Elliot Anklet is another favourite, with the sweet scalloped cuff and florals. One more that she loves and misses (and we hope is something we can restock soon!) are the Tentacle Boot Socks, made specially for us by Raygun Robyn.
So, a happy birthday month to the reason you're here shopping and we're here socking (and to all you other October babies)!

Matching stripes across styles!
We've gone through all the main colours this year in our monthly focus posts and now with black under our belts, let's take this colour matching to the next level: matching stripes across brands and styles! It's something we see a lot of you folks doing as you put the final touches on your Halloween costumes, so I figured it'd be timely to talk about it now.
As we've learned, if you want to keep your colours matching, it's best to stay within a brand or style, particularly in the Dream Stockings, since we use the same yarn for each colour. So, naturally, the M Sleeves and the Super Warmers short or long, match their corresponding colours in the Color Knees and Super Stripes (with some cross-pollination between all of those styles, plus the Neapolitans and Rainbow Dreams!).
Top row: M Sleeves, M Sleeves, Super Warmers – Short
Bottom row: Super Stripes, Neapolitan Stripes, Pink Knees
Ditto the Sorcerer Socks and Sleeves, the Chevron Sleeves and their various levels of coverage. And Leg Avenue offers the Neon Rainbow Gauntlet Gloves to go with the tights and Neon Rainbow Striped Fishnet Tights to go with the fingerless gloves.
Top row: Sorcerer Sleeves, Chevron Sleeves, Neon Rainbow Gauntlet Gloves, Rainbow Net Fingerless Gloves
Bottom row: Sorcerer Socks, O Chevrons, Neon Rainbow Tights, Neon Rainbow Striped Fishnet Tights
Oh! I can't forget the Foot Traffic Rainbow OTKs and the Cuffed Rainbow Leg Warmers! Because you can totally wear those "leg warmers" on your arms, since they're simple, smaller tubes.
And matching black and white arm whatevers with things for your bottom half is easy, even if black is sometimes secretly trickier than you think.
But what about rainbows, or black/purple and black/red? What if your perfect sock to match your arm warmers is made of a totally different fiber? Well, we have good news and bad news, depending on what colours you're talking about.

I don't know if i'm still half asleep, but this part doesn't make sense. Already been knocked off what? Getting high off weed has never happened? What?Musicmac wrote:¡Funny how smoking and drinking excessively have already been knocked off but getting high off weed has never happened despite the fact that Psychology teaches you exactly what it can do to you.
From a dealer. Dealers come in all kinds and flavors. Mine is a buddy from school, he doesn't do backalley deals, nor is he involved with the mafia in any way, he's simply a rasta man who grows his own crops. There ARE shady individuals and you need to be careful, though.Musicmac wrote:How exactly do you even purchase the stuff anyways?
I want it legalized because my people are being killed, abducted and raped because of it not being allowed to be sold and traded. Legalization would effectively remove any and all causes for the violence regarding the trade of the drug for various reasons i will not elaborate on because i'd have to think a lot how to word them in english and frankly it won't mean anything anyway. If only the government could stop being the USA's "yes man" for ONE second. If only.RuffDraft wrote:Could you guys explain to me what the appeal of this stuff is? Even if I don't ever try it, I'd like to understand what it is you guys like about it and why you think it should be legalized.
Seriously i smoked a tobacco cigar once, that shit is truly breathing poison. I could NEVER stomach it, it felt so wrong, so toxic, nothing like weed. weed smoke is so light, so easy on the lungs, so pleasurable to let go, tobacco feels like i'm killing myself.Musicmac wrote:@Mir: 'Knocked off' as in 'knocked off my list of things I shouldn't do but should do before deciding not to ever do again'. Got extremely drunk in Thailand, and tried smoking a friend's cigarette this year, both which I vow to never attempt again unless I am completely crazy enough to do so.
Exactly. When you smoke weed, your current mental status is important. Smoke when sad or thinking you'll get sad, and you'll get very depressed. Smoke while thinking of something happy, or because you WANT to have a good time, and chances are you'll have a good time. Is a fairly simple formula. Also, smoking with other people creates a very special bond of human contact that is outside shame and is not sexual in nature, it returns you to a child-like train of thought IN THAT REGARD where before we could hug a man without feeling embarrased about it, is a very special and therapeutic thing to smoke in a community of GOOD people.Musicmac wrote:Honestly, what I've been thought so far in college Psychology has been pretty open to the idea of recreational drugs, including Marijuana (cannabis). Research has implied negative effects, but most of them have been objectively deemed almost unusable for argument since the evidence and research itself aren't as solid as they seem. However, majority of research shows that Marijuana is an almost unable to be classified drug, since it has both stimulant and depressant effects.
Yeah, it's like a dream state, sort of like waking up from a good night's sleep. The distortions i've experienced have been so subtle they're almost unnoticeable. In my case, anyway.Musicmac wrote:Since Marijuana does not closely resemble any drug, it's discussed completely, separately from other drugs and medicine.-It produces calming effects, but not like alcohol or tranquilizers which puts you in a complete blur of everything around you, it's more of a drowsy effect.
-Distortions can be caused to the senses, but unlike the 'violent' ones in LSD.
-It's also a painkiller, but not completely numbing like opiates (morphine).
I remember some cancer patients actually smoke weed as prescription.Musicmac wrote:It's also got a whole load of medical uses for those who are incapable of relaxing themselves or experience severe physiological resistance in therapy, e.g. trauma from sensitive questions leading to nausea, headaches and other stuff. Heck, it even decreases cell loss in the brain after a stroke.
Yeah, totes.Musicmac wrote:Only disadvantageous effects that have been properly proven are temporary decrease in drive and memory recall (sort of like you on a lazy Sunday without any coffee to wake you up), increases in risking Parkinson's disease, and lung cancer from long-term use, same as tobacco cigarettes do.

So what's faster: a Powerpuff-thrown Gir (plus random Speed factor because he's Gir), or said Powerpuff in flight? That asked, it would be an awesome irony if Dexter saved Olga considering he couldn't save his own sister (mostly because she saved him). On the other hand, Blossom and Bubbles going Dark would be an awesome anime spin, although not in the context of the current crisis. Next to them, it would practically be left to Dexter and Jack to save everyone else.
What ever happens, and whoever ends up pulling Olga out of firing range, it has to happen in about half a second, so that's too fast for a new arrival unless s/he has a computer for a brain.
Omniczar, I am sure nobody intended to slight you in any way. We're all just lazy as hell. But I'll take a look. Last time I went back I realized how things were connected across pages, like Bell grabbing Blossom's lab coat.
EDIT: I'm sorry, you made me look for some revelation of randomness, but this IS Gir we're talking about. On the other hand, as this purple bot has both his arms I take it Jack took the arm of a different one. Hmm, Jack's not a 'little girl to rescue' Olga. Go to it, Samurai.

Rich snippets not appearing
Adding structured data to pages on your site helps Google's algorithms understand their content and index them better. The structured data gathered from your site can be used to improve the page's search entry, for example, to generate rich snippets, which provide an improved page summary in our search results. There are several ways that you can add structured data to your web pages: by adding markup to your pages, using Data Highlighter, or using Google's Merchant Center.
If you've added structured data for rich snippets, but they are not appearing in search results, the problem can be caused by two types of issues:
- Technical issues with the structured data markup or with the Google's ability to crawl, index, and utilize the structured data.
- Quality issues, that is, structured data that is technically correct, but does not adhere to Google's quality guidelines.
Before you begin: check for structured data in Webmaster Tools
Before going through the troubleshooting process, look at the Structured Data Dashboard for your site in Webmaster Tools, which you can find at Search Appearance > Structured Data. You'll see a list of the structured data types found on your site. Check that all the structured data types you expect are on the list. If something is missing, one of the technical issues outlined below is probably affecting Google's ability to read your structured data.Technical issues
The first place to look for problems are technical issues with your structured data or Google's ability to crawl and index that data. Here are some questions to consider:
- Is your markup incorrect or misleading? Some common errors include:
- Can Google see the page?
- Have you only recently updated your content?
Is your markup incorrect or misleading?
Check your markup to make sure that it matches the requirements for each content type. Verify that no required tags or attributes are missing, and that information is in the correct format. You can use microformats, microdata, or RDFa to mark up your content. However, you should pick one markup standard and use it consistently across the page.
Make sure you're using the correct property names. For example, the correct RDFa property name for marking the number of reviews on a page is count
. If you mark up the number of reviews using a property labeled reviewCount
instead of count
, no rich snippet will be generated.
We strongly recommend using the Structured Data Testing Tool to verify your markup. Make sure that the information you marked up appears in the "Extracted data from the page" section of the testing tool. If it doesn't, Google didn't find it.
Currently we show rich snippets for recipes, reviews, products, events, and people. Video markup is recognized and used to make sure that video content is crawled and indexed properly; organization markup is not used in rich snippets, but is used by Google for other search features such as Knowledge Panel logos. The Structured Data Testing Tool won't generate a preview snippet for video and organization content, but it will show you the markup Google sees for these structured data types.
Have you supplied enough information?
Google needs certain data to generate a rich snippet for each product type. For example, a Review without a reviewer or a Review-aggregate without a count will not generate a rich snippet. A Person without enough marked-up information, or an event without a date or venue, won't generate a rich snippet either. To see required properties, check the article for each content type.
Does your markup include incorrect nesting?
Some items can include other items: for example, a restaurant review might include a Person as the author of a review, as well as Organization information such as the reviewer's job title and the address information of the business. In this case, you can convey the relationship between these types of data by nesting Person information (reviewer details) and Organization information (address details) inside that review. It's important that you follow the guidelines for nesting items.
Reviews: Does your review use count
instead of vote
Your marked-up review uses count
instead of votes
. count
specifies the total number of reviews for an item. votes
specifies the number of people who provided a rating, with or without an accompanying review. A review can specify count or votes, or both. However, whenever you include count
, the page must also contain markup for each reviewed item.
Can Google see the page?
If your page markup is correct but rich snippets are not appearing, make sure that Google can see the page. The best way to do this is by using the Fetch as Google service in Webmaster Tools. When you give Fetch as Google a URL, it returns the page as Google sees it. To use Fetch as Google go to Webmaster Tools for your site, go to Crawl > Fetch as Google. You may also want to look at the Crawl > Crawl Errors report to see which parts of your site are returning an error during crawl.
Have you only recently updated your content?
If you've marked up your site's content, tested your markup using the Structured Data Testing Tool, and checked the common issues above, remember that it takes time for rich snippets to appear in search.
Quality issues
If there are no technical issues, then rich snippets may not appear because the page quality is low, or because the structured data does is not consistent with Google's quality guidelines. For more information, see Rich Snippet Guidelines.- Does your markup follow our usage guidelines?
- Is your marked-up content hidden from users?
- Is your marked-up content representative of the main content of the page?
Does your markup follow our usage guidelines?
If you're using rich snippets markup for events, products, reviews, or receipes, check that you're following our usage guidelines:
Is your marked-up content hidden from users?
In general, Google won't display any content in rich snippets that is not visible to human user. Don't hide the content that you have marked up for rich snippets using techniques like display:none
, value-title
, or css
. Google will ignore content that isn't visible to human users, so you should mark up the text that visitors will see on your web pages.
Note that in a few limited circumstances, it can be useful to provide both a machine-readable and a human-readable version of your content. For example, because the text string "Elvis's birthday"
is significant to a great many human readers, but less so to machines, Google provides a way to provide the date in a machine-readable form—1935-01-08
—while still displaying the content in a human-friendly way. For more information, check the Help article for each product type.
Is your marked-up content representative of the main content of the page?
With rich snippets, Google's goal is to provide users with a quick way to decide if a page in search results meets their needs. If your page is almost entirely about the history of the Kentucky Derby, but includes a sidebar with the recipe for their famous Mint Juleps, we won't show a rich snippet of that recipe in response to a query about the Kentucky Derby.

Ridin' the Rails With a Butterfly
Hint: It's the state insect.
"What, we have a state insect?" you ask.
Yes, and it's the California dogface butterfly (Zerene eurydice).
On the monorail, it's an artistic blue and white and it seems to flutter along for the ride. (See what the Monorail Society wrote about it in 1995.) In real life, the male of the species is yellow and black, and the female, predominantly yellow.
Fran Keller, doctoral candidate in entomology at the University of California, Davis, and her colleague, naturalist Greg Kareofelas of Davis, a volunteer at the Bohart Museum of Entomology identified the insect on the monorail right away. Several years ago they teamed to create a California dogface butterfly poster, which graces many a classroom, office, and den. The poster is for sale in the Bohart Museum's gift shop on Crocker Lane, UC Davis, or online.
Keller went on to write a children's book, "The Story of the Dogface Butterfly," with watercolor-and-ink illustrations by Laine Bauer, a 2012 graduate of UC Davis. Kareofelas contributed photographs.
Net proceeds from the sale of the 35-page book, also available at the Bohart Museum or online, benefit the insect museum's education, outreach and research programs.
The book tells the untold story of the California dogface butterfly, and how schoolchildren became involved in convincing the State Legislature to select the colorful butterfly as the state insect.
Bauer's illustrations depict the life cycle of this butterfly. As part of their research, Keller, Karofelas and Bauer visited a Placer County habitat of the butterfly last year.
As for the book, "There are also ecology, life cycle, taxonomy and conservation issues presented that are relevant to grades K-6 that can be used in classroom curriculum," Keller said. In addition, the book includes information on the butterfly's host plant, false indigo (Amorpha californica).
So, score one for the California State Fair. And score two for the Bohart Museum.

Up Close and Personal with a Female Flame Skimmer
What a beauty.
But not nearly as striking as her male counterpart.
The flame skimmer dragonfly (Libellula saturata) owned a perch on a bamboo stake last Tuesday in residential Davis.
Davis resident Gary Zamzow, a dynamite insect photographer (especially bumble bees), pointed his Pentax camera at the insect, just inches away.
The dragonfly did not move.
"The female flame skimmers are not as intensely orange as the males are and they also have the expansions on the 7th abdominal tergite that you can see in your picture (below)," said senior museum entomologist Steve Heydon of the Bohart Museum of Entomology (http://bohart.ucdavis.edu/), University of California, Davis.
If you like dragonflies, you may want to purchase a dragonfly poster at the museum, located in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building on Crocker Lane, or online at its gift shop. It features 18 species of dragonfies, ranging from the common whitetail and green darner to the Western river cruiser and the bison snaketail. And, of course the flame skimmer.
Entomology doctoral candidate Fran Keller designed the poster with images provided and donated to the museum by naturalist Greg Kareofelas of Davis.

Fran Keller: Entomologist, Teacher, Artist, Author
In her professional life, she's an entomologist, researcher, teacher, mentor, artist, photographer, and author.
In her private life, she's a wife and mother.
Her specialty: darkling beetles. You'll often find her at her "home away from home," the Bohart Museum of Entomology where she studies with major professor Lynn Kimsey, Bohart Museum director and UC Davis professor of entomology.
Fran Keller is the designer and impetus behind the many Bohart Museum of Entomology posters and t-shirts. Posters include Butterflies of Central California, Dragonflies of California, California State Insect (California Dogface Butterfly) and Pacific Invasive Ants. T-shirts spotlight dragonflies, butterflies and walking sticks. (Access them at the Bohart's online gift shop.)
Fran Keller also found time to author a children's book on the California dogface butterfly, with sales benefitting the Bohart Museum.
If you belong to the Entomological Society of America (ESA) or another entomological organization, you've probably seen her leading symposiums, presenting talks, and conferring with other scientists.
There's not much that she CAN'T do.
So, on Wednesday, Fran Keller will probably convince her audience that darkling beetles are more exciting than any other insect. After all, her enthusiasm is well known and led to her UC Davis honor as an outstanding teacher.
Keller's exit seminar, "Taxonomy of Stenomorpha Solier, 1836 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Asidini," will be from 12:05 to 1 p.m., Wednesday, May 29 in Room 1022 of the Life Sciences Addition, located on the corner of Hutchison and Kleiber Hall drives. Plans call for the seminar to be videotaped for later public viewing on UCTV.
"My research focuses on a very large genus which historically had 88 species and no modern species level work for several taxa for nearly 175 years," Keller said. "Part of my research focuses on a group of flightless species restricted to the Sierra Transvolcanica or southern Transverse range in Mexico. Using biogeography, morphological analyses and the examination of over 10,500 specimens, I recognize 51 valid species of Stenomorpha Solier, 1836, with seven newly recognized subgenera, while 37 formerly recognized species are synonymized or newly combined."
"Certain Stenomorpha species occur in California vernal pools but are not listed as vernal pool species," Keller said. She also will discuss the importance of taxonomy in conservation.
If time allows, Keller will discuss her other projects, working in the Bahamas and mentoring students, as well as her recent research on morphology and developmental patterns of gene expression.
Keller received her associate science degree in biology and chemistry, with highest honors, from Sacramento City College in 2001 and then transferred to UC Davis where she received her bachelor's degree in evolution and ecology (2004), and her master's degree in entomology (2007).
She served as a teaching assistant for a number of courses at UC Davis and has also presented guest lectures, including "Insect Sex and Mating Systems" and "Insects and the Environment—Ecological Physiology."
Among her many awards at UC Davis:
- Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Award, May 2008
- Division of Biological Sciences (DBS) Commencement Speaker, June 2004
- DBS Departmental Citation for Outstanding Achievement in Academics and Research in Evolution and Ecology, Spring 2004
- Outstanding Senior, 2004
- Undergraduate Research Conference, Oral Presentation, April 2004
- President's Undergraduate Fellowship, Spring 2003
Her students applaud her teaching skills, her enthusiasm, and her care and concern. Said one student: "It's reassuring to know that out of a maze of 30,000 students and faculty at Davis that there are people like Fran who really care."

Our State Insect: Now in a Children's Book
Now there's an opportunity for classrooms all across the nation--and butterfly fans--to learn about it in "The Story of the Dogface Butterfly," written by UC Davis doctoral candidate Fran Keller and illustrated (watercolor and ink) by Laine Bauer, a 2012 graduate of UC Davis.
Net proceeds from the sale of the 35-page book will benefit the education, outreach and research programs of the Bohart Museum of Entomology, UC Davis.
The book tells the untold story of the California dogface butterfly, Keller said, and how schoolchildren became involved in convincing the State Legislature to select the colorful butterfly as the state insect.
Bauer's illustrations depict the life cycle of this butterfly. Naturalist Greg Kareofelas of Davis, a Bohart volunteer, contributed photos. As part of their research, the trio visited a Placer County habitat of the butterfly last year.
As for the book, "There are also ecology, life cycle, taxonomy and conservation issues presented that are relevant to grades K-6 that can be used in classroom curriculum," Keller said. In addition, the book includes information on the butterfly's host plant, false indigo (Amorpha californica).
"A glossary in the back highlights key terms," Keller said. "And there is a set of photographs of the California dogface and another yellow butterfly to help you determine if you have ever really seen the California state insect."
Some people confuse it with it the alfalfa butterfly.
You can meet the writer and illustrator at the Bohart Museum's open house on Saturday, Feb. 2 from 1 to 4 p.m. The museum is located at 1124 Academic Surge on Crocker Lane, UC Davis campus.
The book can also be ordered online from the Bohart website.
The museum's gift shop also has t-shirts and posters depicting the state insect.

Draw-a-Bug Competition at Bohart Museum
If you or someone in a household near you can draw a bug, then you need to head over to the Bohart Museum of Entomology on the UC Davis campus on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 15.
The Bohart Museum is hosting an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. in Room 1124 Academic Surge on Crocker Lane. It's free and open to the public.
The theme: "Insects in Art."
The person (all ages invited) who submits the most creative bug drawing between 1 and 3:30 p.m. will win a t-shirt at around 4 p.m.
Here's what you do: draw a bug that will fit into a button about 2-1/4 wide. The Bohart Museum folks will insert it into their button-maker machine. If your bug art is selected as the most creative, you take the button home--and your prize, an insect-related t-shirt.
The open house will feature the illustrations of Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart and professor of entomology at UC Davis; the late Mary Foley Benson of Davis; and Ivana Li, an undergraduate entomology student and president of the UC Davis Entomology Club.
Visitors also will be able to see the original plates for the children's book, "The Story of the Dogface Butterfly," written by Fran Keller, doctoral candidate in entomology, and Laine Bauer, who received her degree in art in June from UC Davis. Greg Kareofelas of Davis, a Bohart volunteer, contributed photos.
Expanding on the open house theme, Heydon said that "Insects and Art" began as early as the caveman days. Cave drawings found in Spain depict honey gatherers from more than 10,000 years ago.
"Insects in art are found in scientific illustrations and are represented on fabric, paintings, toys, jewelry and other media," Heydon said.
The Bohart Museum houses a global collection of nearly eight million insect specimens and is the seventh largest insect collection in North America. It is also the home of the California Insect Survey, a storehouse of the insect biodiversity. Noted entomologist Richard M. Bohart (1913-2007) founded the museum in 1946.
In addition to the insect specimens, the Bohart houses a "live petting zoo" of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, walking sticks and tarantulas; and a gift shop filled with t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewelry, posters, insect nets, and insect-themed candy.
Bohart officials schedule weekend open houses throughout the academic year so that families and others who cannot attend on the weekdays can do so on the weekends.
