Thousands of Plant Species Discovered But Unidentified
There are more than 70,000 new flowering plant species yet to be discovered, and more than half of them may have already been collected but not yet identified, according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
"Despite the importance of species discovery, the processes including collecting, recognizing, and describing new species are poorly understood," lead author Dr. Robert Scotland of Oxford University's Department of Plant Sciences and his colleagues wrote in the paper.
Scotland and his colleagues noted that only 16 percent of the new botanical species collected between 1970 and 2010 were indentified within five years of their initial discovery, and nearly 25 percent of the new species described during that time period were at least 50 years old.
"Extrapolation of these results suggest that, of the estimated 70,000 species still to be described, more than half already have been collected and are stored in herbaria," they wrote. "Effort, funding, and research focus should, therefore, be directed as much to examining extant herbarium material as collecting new material in the field."
According to BBC News Science Reporter Neil Bowdler, Scotland spent 15 years using herbaria from all around the world trying to conduct research on a specific genus of flowering plant known as Strobilanthes. During the research, Bowdler discovered 60 new species of plants that were simply left lying, undiscovered, in collections at various locations.
"Together with colleagues, he decided to try and calculate how many undiscovered species of all flowering plants may be lying in such collections," Bowdler said. A total of 3,200 species had been identified in the past 40 years, and Scotland discovered that it took experts more than two centuries to identify one of the plant species in question, the BBC said on Tuesday.
Dr. Mark Carine, a member of Scotland's team who works in the Department of Botany in the Natural History Museum, London, said that the delay was due in part to a "lack of manpower and lack of expertise."
"There's no doubt we just don't have enough people to complete the process as rapidly as we might like," he told Bowdler. "I think what the study does is highlights the importance of collections such as the one at the Natural History Museum and elsewhere. We need to think about creative ways of unlocking information that we have in those herbaria as quickly as possible."

Governor sees technology at work

TOULON -- Amid the south wind and warm conditions, Natausha Dreher took the stage -- or field.
Dreher, the youngest daughter of Bill and Jody Hoffman, had first crack at showing Gov. Sam Brownback just what changes the family is incorporating on the farm Thursday.
The governor stopped just a mile east of Toulon at the Hoffman family's demonstration field, where he saw how technology was changing the way people farm.
"I'm always excited to get to show people what I do with soil sampling and how cool agriculture can be," Dreher said.
Dreher showed Brownback how technology was at work for her family. She's been a big part of using soil probes and other forms of new technology, along with computerized data collected, to make the farm run more efficiently.
"Agriculture is an extremely high-tech business," Brownback said. "It's very capital-intensive. It produces a large state product, and we need to do more with less inputs -- less chemical inputs, less fuel inputs. And they're doing it. This stuff really allows them to just be more efficient."
Brownback and several members of his cabinet stopped by the field to get a glimpse of what the future holds in agriculture while touting the importance of ag and related businesses to the economy. The governor's office said agriculture contributes more than $53 million to the state's economy.
"Agriculture is under a lot of environmental pressure," Brownback said. "And they do a great job. When you can go out and really know what's in that soil and apply just what you need in that area and not just blanket the soil, that's a lot better use of resources."
The Hoffman family has been farming for decades, and Bill Hoffman said he learned years ago about tricks of the trade while working at the FHSU farm.
He's continued to read about the latest technological advances and further his knowledge of how to grow better-producing crops.
Hoffman pointed to his milo crop last year, that despite the lingering drought, still produced solid results with the help of new technology.
"Last year, as dry as it was, we still had a very respectable milo crop," Hoffman said. "Even with the drought we had, we were cutting some 80 to 100 bushel milo. ... It makes us more efficient and helps us get by with the little moisture we get at times."
Brownback stressed new approaches will be needed -- like the ones the Hoffmans are implementing -- as the state looks to address a 50-year vision plan for water, including the stressed Ogallala Aquifer.
"We also have a big water discussion going on," Brownback said. "Without water, you don't have any future. So we're putting a lot of effort into a 50-year water vision to see where we want to be in 50 years, particularly in the Ogallala and reservoirs. Then let's put in place policies and practices to be there. Jerry (McReynolds) and Farm Bureau have been a big proponent of that. You have to manage your resources well."
Brownback also got a firsthand view of an Apache sprayer the Hoffmans use. Officials from Simpson Farm Enterprises -- which has locations in Hays, Ransom, Great Bend and Beloit -- were in attendance to tout how their sprayers have helped with no-till crops and farming practices.
Jake Poore, the lone non-family employee of Hoffman Farms, even gave Brownback a ride in the sprayer, showing him just how everything works from the driver's seat.
"It's a great time to be a good ag state," Brownback said. "We need more food, more energy. We've got a lot to produce, and we have to do it with less input and do it more carefully. All this stuff lets us do just that."
Dreher, who has grown up helping her family on the farm since she was in elementary school, said it was nice to see the governor make the trip to western Kansas.
"And to be so very interested and to just want to know how all this is helping agriculture and to ask questions and want to learn and to be open-minded about everything, that's great," Dreher said. "It's not just somebody over there not knowing what's going on out here in western Kansas. That's wonderful. You don't just take care of eastern Kansas. You take care of Kansas."

Recently a close family member said to me I was too hard on my 5 year old DD. I was completely shocked! Her examples are -
I make her sit with the family at the table at meal times and she doesn't leave the table until she has eaten enough vegies - I don't serve her huge plates. She also has to ask to leave. I make sure she uses her manners, and don't allow her to interrupt when people are talking. She has learnt to wait patiently, and is given our attention if she does so. She has a set bedtime She isn't allowed soft drink and sometimes gets juice, but only at dinner time. DD is made to pick up toys and clothes she leaves on the floor, she sets the table at night and has just started learning to make her bed. Her time playing things like iphones/dsi's/wii's is limited (her children including the 5 year old all have ipod touches which DD will NOT be getting anytime in the near future) Oh and the last was a cracker - I won't let her go to the Lady Gaga concert this year, DH & I think there is plenty of time for that kind of thing when she's an adult - her middle child, 7 at the time - went to two years ago. Now, every example is completely contradicted by the other persons style of parenting - though I have never judged or commented to her, its not my business what she does. Her kids eat and drink whatever - wherever, if they eat at all, stay up as late as they want, answer back, interrupt all the time and I've never heard the younger two use manners unless they are taking something from me because I don't hand it over without a thank you. btw her kids are 14, 9 and 5. I was pretty insulted. DD is a well rounded little girl, she is polite, kind and gentle - and healthy. Rarely do we have problems with tantrums and she is well behaved a majority of the time. Tell me - am I too "hard"? I considered what I was doing was teaching her to be polite and learn valuable lessons, but perhaps I'm wrong. #2Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:37 PM
Sounds like my house, I must be a hard a*se tooo.lol
#3Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:37 PM
I think that you're just stricter than the other mum.
Also - your 5yo is your eldest, her 5yo is the youngest - with a 14 yo sibling. Makes a huge difference (especially to things like drinking soft drink etc). Don't lose any sleep over it. #4Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:37 PM
Prefaced with *I am not yet a parent* but
If I could instil half of those traits into my future child I would be a happy mum. I have worked with children for 15 years and everything that you want your DD to be is positive IMO. Z #5Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:37 PM
Your friend sound slack.
#6Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:39 PM
My daughter's 2 next week and you sound like you're doing what we will be.
She's been taking the cat's dinner over to her for the last few months pretty much every night since she could walk. She'll be helping out around the house when she's old enough. Same as I did as a child. I refuse to raise a rude kid who can't boil an egg when she leaves home! And I HATE kids who interrupt adults constantly! Yes, I know they say "excuse me" but its still pretty rude. Adults wait their turn, kids can learn to as well! #7Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:39 PM
I'm the same parent as you by the sounds of it! People say I am tough on my DD but I'd rather have a polite, respectful child.
I'd keep doing as you are. #8 Guest_tigerdog_*Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:39 PM
At least your daughter isn't going to turn around and bite you on your (hard) ass! I think your style of parenting will hold your child in good stead as she grows up into an adult - letting kids get away with murder is really doing them a disservice when it comes to preparing them for a functional, happy adulthood.
#9Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:41 PM
who cares?
Instill your values in your child, and let her instill her values in her child. IMO, I think what you are doing is great. #10Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:42 PM
I'm super tough by her "ahem" standards too.
#11Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:43 PM
Sounds good to me.
#12Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:43 PM
sounds like all the rules in our house for our DS who is also 5, same rules applied to DD who is 19 ( with the exception that I have given up trying to get her to keep her room clean) - although she has repeatedly told me that I am too harsh - she does atleast have very good manners
Bec& dh DD19 DS5 #13Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:45 PM
Well is your child happy, and does she feel that she's able to express herself? Do YOU think there is any reason to worry? If not, why care what she thinks?
My mother was like you and I grew up just fine. Although I occasionally resented the strictness (aka 'my friends are allowed to do this, why can't I???). #14Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:46 PM
you sound sensible to me. I won't say normal, because it seems teaching manners and setting boundaries is no longer normal...
#15Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:46 PM
Take it as a compliment???
#16Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:47 PM QUOTE (Willow Angel @ 13/04/2012, 06:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> who cares? Instill your values in your child, and let her instill her values in her child. I've long had the problem at family gatherings hearing from DD "But she doesn't have to do." I've always kind of replied, well her mum said she didn't have to but you still do. - This in regards to eating lunch. Last time we were there it was a bbq - DD had salad, meat etc - her cousin had a piece of bread with nothing on it, ate half of it and ran off.....that was it. DD was left on her own eating where as I would have dragged her back and made her eat something decent. She finished the day off throwing glasses of water all over their lounge room (carpeted) floor. Her mum walked in, looked for a second and just walked back out. Not in my house! #17Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:47 PM
Your friend sounds like my SIL. It is just different styles of parenting.
#18Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:48 PM
How did you respond to that?
You sound exactly like me in everything except DD9 lives for her ipod and I was thinking of a concert ticket as chrissy present this year. Not that any part of it is finally I can go and see someone I like that OH refuses to go with me to as its too pop. #19Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:50 PM
I was reading it thinking ,yes, mmm, uh uh... Oh crap I am hardarse too.
I think some of those things come under manners and respect. but you do your thing, let her do hers. #20Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:52 PM
I wouldn't judge your parenting - or hers. Every family is different. It sounds a bit like you are both equally judging each other though!
*toxic families* #21Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:53 PM
Sign me up as your type of parent please.
#22Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:54 PM
I agree with what you every child should be taught manners, but I do think setting the table at five is a bit early in my opinion.
#23Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:54 PM
Yep OP I too am often called a hard ass parent. Usually by someone with feral kids.
I just grin and delight in the fact that my child is often welcome where others are not #24Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:54 PM
You're doing a great job. She's slack.
DH & I hope to raise my DS (and any other children we have) like you are raising your girls. Hard a*se all the way! FTR I think we'll be the strictest out of both our families. #25Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:57 PM
Nope you sound like me except mine is 8yrs old and has to also wipe dishes and feed the dogs.

Special Ticket Offer, Save $8!The Essential Baby & Toddler Show is back this April! Save $8 off the door price for a limited time only! Finding baby name inspiration in unusual placesSometimes the greatest baby name ideas come from the most unexpected places, as these EB members show. The case for inducing at 37 weeksWhile we often think of pregnancy as a 40 week affair, experts agree that 37 weeks is actually "full term". So is there an argument for inducing all births at 37 weeks?

An unbeaten 67 by Joe Burns and a torrential afternoon downpour checked Northamptonshire's bid for victory on day three of their County Championship clash with Leicestershire at Grace Road.
Leicestershire closed on 142-3, still needing another 276 runs to avoid the follow-on in their reply to Northants 567-7 declared.
The heavy rain that arrived shortly after lunch left the ground saturated and, following a 5pm inspection, umpires Martin Bodenham and Steve O'Shaughnessy had little option but to abandon play for the day.
Leicestershire began the third day at 47-2, with Burns on 15 and Ned Eckersley 19, and both batsmen rode their luck in the early overs with Andrew Hall causing all manner of problems with his accurate medium-paced cutters.
But showing plenty of resilience, the third-wicket pair survived, with Burns particularly impressive.
The 23-year-old Australian has struggled for form since arriving a month ago to replace Ramnaresh Sarwan, away with the West Indies in the Champions Trophy, as Leicestershire's overseas player.
In his previous six innings in the Championship and Yorkshire Bank 40, Burns had a top score of only 21. That was on his debut against Glamorgan last month.
But he gradually grew in confidence as his innings progressed and a glorious straight six off James Middlebrook put him in sight of his first half-century for the county. It eventually came off 81 balls with six fours plus the six.
Eckersley also looked solid, but having reached 43 he was trapped lbw on the back foot by Middlebrook to end a stand of 99 in 34 overs.
Leicestershire went into lunch on 133-3 but only three more overs were possible after the break before the rain swept in, with Burns on 67 and Matt Boyce on six.

Social Band is making a CD featuring specially-commissioned choral works combining the talents of Vermont's tunesmiths and wordsmiths.
About this project
Last Day to be a Backer!
Today is the last day to be a Vermont Poetry and Song Project Backer! Our Kickstarter Project ends tonight at 11:59! We started this morning with 160 backers and $8635 pledged. By midnight we'd love to see: 1) 185 Backers! 2) $10,000 pledged 3) Our CD production costs totally covered!!! Wouldn't that be wonderful?!
Twenty-four singers will be staying up late tonight, watching....... waiting....
Yes, we've achieved our starter goal, after only 15 days! Thank you, thank you, thank you! However, we were conservative in setting this goal. Our total recording costs actually approach $10,000. Since we've got more time, please keep those pledges rolling in and tell your friends about us. Together we can do it!
About this project
Would you like to hear a collection of choral music in which beauty, poignancy and playfulness abound? A recording that offers newly-minted works in an array of styles that is anything but run-of-the-mill? Social Band— Burlington Vermont's lively band of singers— is busily working away to create just such a recording project with our Vermont Poetry and Song Project.
Recently we asked some of Vermont's finest composers to set the music of Vermont poets to music and we are now reaping the rewards. We have launched this Kickstarter campaign to raise money to record these works and thereby showcase the weird and wonderful talents that lurk in the Green Mountains of Vermont.
Why do we do what we do?
Singing contemporary works by Vermont composers has not always been so central to our repertoire. However, from the very beginning, the group has been lucky enough to have talented composers in our ranks. It soon became clear to us how much joy, beauty and meaning come from being part of the birthing process for new works of music.
This conviction grew into a primary mission for Social Band: to sing and produce these vibrant choral works, to "get them out there" into the world! As one of our composers put it:
"You'd like to think that your music is being heard, because music doesn't really happen except when it's being sounded...it doesn't do any good if it's just sitting on a shelf somewhere."
Why do we think the new music for this CD is so worth the while?
For such a small state, Vermont has more than its share of interesting people. The composers and poets included in this project are certainly no exception. These artists respond to the mysteries of life through their works and give us flashes of truth, love, gratitude, laughter, sadness...You name it. These songs, whether classical, folky, jazzy or some interesting combination of several styles, are alive and wiggling— easily accessible to the average listener and at the same time, not quite like anything else out there. We were especially excited about the special role that poetry plays in this recording because we have always carefully considered the texts of songs in the design of our programs.
Why does Social Band sing this music well?
Well, for one, we work our buns off. We are an amateur choir in which all the members have one (or several) day jobs. Despite this, we work hard every week, all year round to sing these songs as well as we can. It certainly motivates us when we know that more often than not, these composers and poets will be hearing the results of our labor in person!
In addition, Social Band has a unique sound. Our repertoire has always spanned the spectrum between classical and folk and this has cultivated a robust, signature style that is able to adjust to the stylistic demands of such a varied selection of musical styles.
Why are we so grateful?
Because we feel so blessed and just plain lucky to be surrounded by these generous, wise and skilled composers and poets, and to have received these fruits of their labors.
And of course we are grateful to you for sponsoring this project.
What's with the pie-themed rewards?
In addition to having a number of composers in our ranks over the years, our membership has included a number of avid pie-bakers and pie-eaters. At every performance, we give away a homemade pie made by one of our members. We think about pie a lot.
Please donate to our project!
Be part of this and help us get this music onto a CD. We'd love to send you our thanks. We are a non-profit, 501c3 organization, so your donation is tax deductible (minus the retail value of any reward you receive.)
We hope you will join us in this "great circle" of creation and sharing!

Getting a feel for the music
'Petting zoo' puts kids in touch with the philharmonic
Mark Bush gingerly took the hand of his stepson, 8-year-old Thomas Combs, and helped him pluck the strings of the violin in his lap.
"He has a developmental disability and all his major developmental milestones have some how been related to music therapy," Bush said. "So to have the chance for him to go and pluck strings on a cello or a violin or viola and hear the instruments, we thought that would be a good idea."
The family was one of many who participated in the Evansville Philharmonic Youth Orchestra's "petting zoo," which allowed children to get close to some of the instruments used in the orchestra. The event was part of the organization's open house Saturday at The Victory.
Participants also had the opportunity to watch the philharmonic rehearse for its "Great Movies, Grand Piano" performances on Saturday evening and today.
"We're taking the opportunity to invite the public to come in and really see the orchestra in a way that they've never seen it before," said Carrie Marrett, the orchestra's marketing director.
Bush said the event was a great way to expose children to classical music.
"I've been a classical music fan for years. I like to see (Thomas) enjoy music, especially classical music. To see him exposed to a bit of culture that really a lot of kids don't (experience)," Bush said. "To have that resource for them to open a door to a rehearsal, hopefully it'll teach the kids to appreciate the music and the value of supporting the arts and what it can do with kids and adults."
Bush said allowing his son to attend the rehearsal was special, too.
"We just knew he was going to have a good time with it," Bush said. "It's rare that he gets to go because he doesn't contain his exuberance. To have the open rehearsal opportunity was just a great opportunity for him to hear the philharmonic in a venue that wouldn't put people off. The bonus was being able to have a hands-on experience with the instruments."
Great introduction
Teri Rockwood took her4-year-old son, Liam, and said Saturday's event was a great introduction to different instruments.
"It's mostly as an experience of something that Evansville has to offer. So when we say, 'Hey, the philharmonic is playing,' he'll know what we're talking about," she said. "We play music at home, but this is just another world of music that he hasn't been exposed to."
Rockwood said her son was a bit shy during the "petting zoo." But he was willing to hold one of the percussion instruments, "and I think he was surprised at the sound it made."

Ann was a wonderful woman, whom I respected and she was...
- Rita DuVall, Ference-Castro
Ann was such a blessing to St. Francis of Assisi Parish....
- Judy Wegener
Ann Godwin Denham died on Thursday, February 20, 2014, in Sacramento, California, of a sudden stroke. Born in Tampa, Florida on October 15, 1935, she was 78 years old and a resident of Gold River. She was the eldest child of Lois and Dale Godwin, and grew up during the Depression with one younger sister Fay Godwin Snyder, now residing in Connecticut with husband John, and later a much younger brother Gary Lamar Godwin, who died many years ago. In her childhood, Ann was bright and studious and reveled in reading books and writing short stories and poetry which on occasion were published in a children's magazine of the day. She also liked to explore the art of "story telling" and preaching to engage and excite others as practiced by her father who led a men's Gospel study group, and unusually, her great-grandmother who presided at religious revival meetings in rural Tennessee arriving atop a mule with her two little girls. As a child, Ann was fascinated with the Sacred Stories of the Old and New Testament in Sunday School in her home Methodist Church. She had a long-term romance with religious imagination and the ways that language, images, and stories combine to create meaning, in religions and in our lives. She was fortunate to attend Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, on scholarship for three years with a major in English Literature, before marrying high school beau Walter Frank Denham in Miami, Florida, on June 24, 1956. She moved with him to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he would pursue a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at
Harvard University
. During the next four years, she gave birth to her three children: Susan, Robert and Neil, and somehow found time for night school classes to complete her degree at Northeastern University. When her children were school aged, she attended Seminary and earned a Masters of Divinity at
Vanderbilt University
in Nashville, Tennessee, where her husband Walter taught Applied Mathematics, and was then ordained a deacon in the United Methodist Church. Ann's major concentration was in preaching and worship, which made her something of a pioneer. She was one of only four women in the Seminary, and just the second woman ordained in Tennessee. After a one-year internship at Garden Grove United Methodist Church in Southern California, Ann moved with her family to Sacramento where she served as an assistant pastor in Elk Grove. Thereafter, she turned to work with women's groups, giving retreats and workshops on women and religion, and helping to form a women's center. She was also involved in ongoing local efforts to promote and pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution. When her three children were in college at various campuses of the University of California, Ann returned to school at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, where she pursued a Ph.D. in Spirituality and Liturgy. After a "rather inexplicable chain of experiences initiated by beginning contemplative prayer," as she would recount, she was called to become a Catholic. She was confirmed in the faith in 1982 and continued teaching Scripture and working with women's groups. Ann was a member of the Association of Contemplative Sisters (ACS), a group of vowed and lay women called to the contemplative life. She was a member of the Saint Francis of Assisi Parish community for almost 20 years, where she taught Scripture and gave presentations at women's retreats. She served on its Adult Faith Formation Committee and also gave a series of classes on prayer at Christ the King Church, and numerous presentations at many different churches whenever opportunities arose. Ann greatly enjoyed the art of writing with a purpose and pursued a wide range of ideas, publishing a personal essay in the book The Lay Contemplative, then a work entitled Selected Fiction: Tales I tell Myself as an issue of Occasional Papers in the Methodist Church. Most recently she co-authored a history of ACS entitled A Cloister of the Heart, published in 2009. Through the past 20 years she found special joy in attending week-long Writers Camp sessions at the Angela Center in Santa Rosa, sometimes including a daughter-in-law, or more recently one of her granddaughters, to share that creative experience. At her death, she was preparing to give another Scripture presentation to the St. Francis Adult Faith Formation Committee during Lent. Ann's husband Walter died suddenly in December 2002. She is survived and loved by her three children, Susan Denham Walton (husband, Ian Walton), Robert Denham, and Neil Denham; and by four grandchildren, Leigh Denham (husband, Seth DeDoes), Lucas Denham, Lindsay Crawford (husband, Collin O'Mara), and Elizabeth Crawford. Ann's recent great joy was in becoming a Great-Grandmother to the seventh generation of first-born daughters in her mother's line, Lindsay's daughter Riley Elizabeth O'Mara, now a delightful two years old and brimming with words and a story to tell. Services and a reception will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 18, 2014, at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 1066 26th Street (at the corner of K Street) in Midtown Sacramento, where all are welcome to celebrate Ann's life and spirit.

Windows Phone users get Rovio's Angry Birds games for free for a limited time
Windows Phone users will be happy to know that all of the Angry Birds games are now available for free. This is a limited time offer and perfect timing for the holidays.

Windows Phone users will be happy to know that all of the Angry Birds games are now available for free. This is a limited time offer and perfect timing for the holidays.
Rovio has updated five of its Angry Birds games released for Windows Phone devices today, with all of them adding new free levels to unlock and play along with other new features.
Due to some unexplained circumstance certain Angry Birds titles, including Angry Birds Star Wars 2 are showing up as free on the Windows Phone Store, giving fans a chance to fill out their collection.
Rovio has launched their latest Angry Birds game today, Angry Birds Star Wars II, for Windows Phone 8 devices along with iOS and Android, but the game has yet to appear on Windows 8.
Rovio has updated the Windows Phone 8 port of Angry Birds Star Wars, adding 20 new Cloud City levels, the new "Lando Bird", a new boss fight with Lard Vader and more.
Rovio has announced that Angry Birds Star Wars II, the sequel to their hit mobile puzzle game, will be released on September 19th on "app stores worldwide" and will be set in the prequel movies era.
Rovio has updated the Windows 8 and Windows Phone ports of Angry Birds Star Wars, adding content that was previously made available for the iOS and Android versions.
Rovio has released the original "Angry Birds" for Windows Phone devices, and the game will remain free until May 15. "Angry Birds" is available for both Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8.
With many game-to-movie adaptions falling short of fans expectations, can Angry Birds succeed where others have failed? Rovio think so, and have brought John Cohen on board to produce the film.
Angry birds Star Wars arrived today on Windows Phone 8 devices same day as iOS and Android pointing to changes in the way that developers perceive Microsoft's mobile platform.
After teasing a picture last week we now have a video from Rovio announcing their brand new Angry Birds Star Wars edition. The game will be available on the 8th of November for iOS, Android and PCs
Bad Piggies, the sequel to the ever popular Angry Birds, will be landing soon on Windows Phones and Windows 8 machines near you.
Rovio will release Amazing Alex, a puzzle game with an educational theme, later in 2012. It will be the developer's first game that is not based on its Angry Birds franchise.
Rovio has confirmed that the Angry Birds game franchise has now generated over 1 billion downloads since it was first launched back in 2009. A trailer also hints about Rovio's next game.
Following the immense financial success of Angry Birds Space, the company is said to be preparing for an IPO currently set for next year.
Rovio has announced that Angry Birds Space has generated 50 million downloads in its first 35 days, which it claims has broken all of the company's previous records.
The man behind the likes of Mario and Zelda is disappointed that he isn't also the man behind Angry Birds. During an interview, Miyomoto praised Rovio's addictive title for its controls and simplicity
If you're waiting for Angry Birds Space to come to your Windows Phone device, you're out of luck. Rovio says they're not bringing their new game to Microsoft's budding mobile platform.
Are you addicted to the Angry Birds franchise? Well, if so then the new entry in the franchise may be right up your alley. Angry Birds Space is a collaborative effort between NASA and Rovio.
Angry Birds may have taken the world by storm, but 'Angry Brides' hopes to ruffle some feathers too, by highlighting the plight of women in India, abused and tortured under bridal dowry traditions.
Rovio celebrates the second anniversary of the launch of the mobile arcade game Angry Birds today with a new level update along with some other celebrations.
Do you like Angry Birds? Do you like eggs? Do you like cooking? If so, then you might want to put the Angry Birds cookbook on your Christmas list!

Angry Birds, the addictive puzzle arcade game from developer Rovio, has now exceeded over 500 million downloads since launching on Apple's iOS platform back in December 2009.

I bought this foundation because I am a quote "foundation junkie" and am always willing to try new ones. It was half off so only $11 on their website. I have normal to combo skin depending upon the season. The color match was awesome however the formula not so much. I like medium coverage with the ability to build up to full coverage and a foundation with a slightly thicker consistency. I pumped this onto the back of my hand and it immediately started spreading everywhere. It had very light coverage with the small possibility of building up to almost medium coverage. The smell wasn't bad and it didn't feel heavy on my skin. It did make my pores look huge! I even used a hard candy primer and it didn't help the look of this foundation or even the staying power. It also transferred a lot when I put my clothes on for work. I used urban decay all nighter setting spray in the hopes it would help the product stay on but no such luck. The packaging was nice although it felt a bit cheap. Overall, good look but not a good performance and I will no re-purchase.
I first bought this foundation on a whim without much thought as I wanted a more moisturising foundation for winter and it was cheap (about $20 or something) and had like SPF 30. The first issue was actually my fault. I accidentally got about one shade too light but I thought I might be able to work with it a bit despite this. That was when I first put it on my face. Then I saw that is REALLY dewy and actually felt quite thick and though I like the luminous, dewy look and I thought it might tone down after a bit. But no, after about 15 mins it still looked as shiny and felt sticky and really didn't melt into my skin, and really accentuated my pores, which aren't even enlarged. It really looked oily even with my combination dry skin at the time which was winter. I hated the texture and I couldn't apply anything on top without feeling an awful dragging feeling when I tried to put blush and bronzer on. I decided not to go out with it and washed it off (which was really hard because it's oil based or something) and threw it out. If you're wondering about the smell, it had quite a sunscreeny smell and also it was quite thick in my opinion depite being quite sheer. Mmm... not great. As for wear, I have no idea because I didn't wear it for a day because I could just imagine the thickness clogging all my pores. Gross! I then decided that I would go for a high end foundation and after RESEARCHING a LOT, I splurged on the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation and I have loved it. I love the coverage and the consistency which still is not drying. It just feels like real skin and I don't feel like it is seeping down into my pores all day long! Definitely going to stick to this one for a while!

Best foundation I've found yet, but I think they may have discontinued it. I found mine on clearance in store for $5 each and bought about 15 bottles! Love it and have gotten so many compliments. My skin looks natural and dewy. I have a very fair complexion with yellow undertones so it's hard for me to find a foundation that matches my skin tone, but this one does. Really good coverage as well. I use along with the pressed face powder and l love it! Hope I'm able to get more!
I've been using this foundation for about 3 years now. This is the best foundation I have used, and I always repurchase when I'm out. The foundation is medium coverage, but you can build it up. It's lightweight and doesn't feel like you are wearing anything on your face, which is why I love this foundation, I hate foundations which feel cakey, and this foundation does not. I have very dry skin, so I usually apply moisturiser beforehand just to reduce my skin drying out with areas other than that. It is moisturising, it lasts a long time, which is great. I don't have any negative comments about this foundation whatsoever. I love it, it's the only foundation I use.

I have very dry skin to the extent that No Moisturizer on my Face means my skin is looking flaky and lots of itchiness on my face
I know the golden rule
moisturize your face first and then apply foundation. But even that was not enough to make my foundation go Silky smooth on my skin. But the Moisture based foundation from Body Shop claims to provide moisture along with SPF which is a double treat. IFor my skin tone I go for shade 04.
For a detailed review check my website www.crush-on-beauty.com/tbs-foundation/
The irony of this product is it's called moisturising but made my dry patches from my combination skin look worse! And felt greasy on my face! Low coverage too
Very good foundation, keeps its promises!
I find the shades to be a bit too orange though, even the lightest ones.
Otherwise, nothing to complain about!

I've been using the foundation for a year and am already on my third bottle! I've tried other foundations but always revert back to this one. It is so light weight and stays all day. I find it quite moisturising without making my skin feel oily or shiny. I have combination skin with acne and I find that it doesn't make my acne any worse and doesn't cake. I gave i four because the coverage isn't great but it isn't too bad either. I have quite fair skins and most foundations are always a bit dark or turn out orange, and thankfully this isn't the case for this one. I really would reccommend it and it is worth paying for.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've had this for a few years and recently started using it again. It's supposed to be moisturising, so typically not ideal for my oily skin. I tend to find it useful during winter as that is when my skin gets dry the most. I just realised that this foundation looked dry on my skin after wearing it for a while, which is weird because its supposed to be moisturising. Surprisingly enough, my face was not as oily. Coverage wise, it's buildable so that was good. And it really sits nicely on the skin. I love their simple packaging and the price was quite okay. Maybe I should use a really good moisturiser prior to applying this product again next time and review it once more. I really wanted to like this despite its drying effect. And I think it looked a tad bit cakey :s

Roto Arcade
Six-Pack: Andrew Hammond, out of nowhere
Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade9 hrs agoSix free-agent pickup recommendations, that's how we roll. We'll try to offer something for every budget.
Andrew Hammond, G, Senators (28 percent): Sometimes you have to take a story and run with it, even when there's no pedigree in place. That's the case with Hammond, a 27-year-old non-prospect who's been lights-out since getting his chance in the Ottawa cage (five straight wins, two shutouts, 1.31 goals-against, .957 save percentage). Maybe beating the Sharks in San Jose is no great feat these days – those guys can't seem to play a solid game in front of their home folk – but bagels at Los Angeles and Anaheim need no qualifier, even if it never rains goals in Southern California.
[ ]
Antoine Vermette, LW/C, Blackhawks (31 percent): Chicago obviously needs up-front reinforcements after the Patrick Kane injury, and the freshly-acquired Vermette should be good enough to hold a spot as a top-six forward. Sometimes there's an emotional spike when you move from a losing club to a Cup contender. Grab him now, wait and see how the new line turns out.
The Fantasy Five: Start Avery Bradley, bench Tony Parker
Dalton Del Don at Roto Arcade1 day agoThis column will concentrate on borderline fantasy options who should get strong consideration to start/bench during the upcoming week based on schedules.
Avery Bradley: He's been the No. 5 ranked fantasy player since the All-Star break, when Bradley has averaged 20.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.4 3pt and an NBA high 3.2 steals over five games. Bradley has been a top-25 player over the past month (the Rajon Rondo trade helped, and his Usage Rate will only rise now with Jared Sullinger out for the year). Boston has the fourth-highest PACE in the NBA and plays four games in Week 19, all against teams that rank in the bottom-10 in Defensive Efficiency (Cle, Uta, N.O., Orl), making Bradley, who's still available in more than 30 percent of Yahoo leagues, a legitimate start this week.

Pressing Questions: The Kansas City Royals
Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade5 days agoJust get to the playoffs, then hope to catch lightning in a bottle once you're there. That's the wishing credo of your typical Wild Card team these days, and sometimes it turns into a shocking underdog story.
The 2014 Royals fit Cinderella's slipper. With an ordinary plus-27 run differential, it's amazing they qualified for the playoffs at all. They scraped together 89 wins (five more than the pythagorean formula suggested), then got hot in the AL playoffs. Thanks for coming east, Oakland. Have fun with your theme park, Anaheim. No need to be crabby, Baltimore.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
The Royals eventually fell to the Giants in the World Series, but it took seven games to dispatch them. After 28 years of non-playoff baseball in the heartland, Kansas City's fanbase finally had an October story to rally around.
NBA Stock Watch: Rudy Gobert is rising while Patrick Beverley is falling
Dalton Del Don at Roto Arcade6 days agoSTOCK UP
Rudy Gobert: He's averaged 10.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 4.0 blocks over two games since Enes Kanter was traded to the Thunder. Gobert has been the No. 63 ranked player this season despite averaging a paltry 6.8 ppg and 21:55 mpg. The upside here is through the roof for the 22-year-old, as Gobert has averaged 4.0 blocks over nine starts, a role in which he's now locked into in Utah as the future of the franchise. He's been the No. 27 fantasy player on a per-36 minute basis this season and will only continue to improve. Gobert is going to be a fantasy monster.

Six-Pack: Scott Darling gets a shot
Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade6 days agoSix free-agent pickup recommendations, that's how we roll. We'll try to offer something for every budget.
Scott Darling, G, Blackhawks (9 percent): He's been terrific at both levels this year, starring in the AHL (.927/.202) and coming through in seven spot-starts with Chicago (five wins, 1.97/.937). With Corey Crawford in a funk, the Blackhawks are giving Darling the Tuesday tap on the pads against Florida. Like most coaches, Joel Quenneville isn't afraid to ride a hot hand in goal – perhaps Darling can get something rolling here. If he can just make the basic stops, Chicago's deep blue line should take care of the rest.

Potential stars for your fantasy baseball team in 2015
Evan Doherty at Roto Arcade8 days ago[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
The Fantasy Five: Start Alex Len, bench Arron Afflalo
Dalton Del Don at Roto Arcade8 days agoThis column will concentrate on borderline fantasy options who should get strong consideration to start/bench during the upcoming week based on schedules.
Alex Len: Fully recovered from his ankle injury, Len has averaged 10.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks over two games since the All-Star break. Most importantly, he's seen nearly 35.0 mpg over this span, which is significant considering the young big man has gotten 1.6 bpg this season despite getting just 20:41 mpg. Staying out of foul trouble will remain key (Len is tied for the 10 th most fouls in the NBA this year despite the low minutes played), but there remains clear upside for the 21-year-old. Not only is Miles Plumlee gone but so are Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas, leaving a whole bunch of Usage Rates to be replaced. Len is owned in fewer than 30 percent of Yahoo leagues, although that number is sure to change, as he's been the most added player over the past couple of days.

Pressing Questions: The San Francisco Giants
Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade11 days agoAlthough the Giants are coming off their third World Championship in five seasons, a glorious run by anyone's standards, last year's triumph wasn't like the first two. After a pair of front-door titles, the 2014 champagne run was a back-door job all the way.
San Francisco barely made the playoffs last year, ducking into the tournament as a wild-card entry with an ordinary 88 wins. The Giants finished 12th in scoring, 10th in ERA, eighth in differential. There was nothing particularly scary about these guys into October..
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
It doesn't make the bubbly taste any less sweet, of course. But it puts management in a curious spot – do you judge a team by its ordinary regular season or its glorious end result?
Six-Pack: Kevin Klein, broadway bizarre
Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade13 days agoDon't look for Anders Lee in this space, we gave him to you last week. Onward and upward, here are six widely-available pickups to consider for your fake hockey squad.
Kevin Klein, D, Rangers (13 percent): He's the No. 44 defenseman in the Yahoo game, a testament to a useful but fluky season. Klein's somehow posted a 9-16-25 line despite little power-play time – he's yet to register a man-advantage point in 2014-15. The nine goals are a mirage, coming off a modest 64 shots (his career shooting percentage is a mediocre five percent). And this isn't some young up-and-coming talent; Klein's in his age-30 campaign, and posted just nine points in the 77 games immediately prior to this year. All those caveats established, he's getting regular ice with a decent team, so we can trust the hits, blocks and even the plus-minus (plus-22). In most pools, there's a case for picking up The Big Chill.
Pressing Questions: The Chicago Cubs
Andy Behrens at Roto Arcade17 days agoWhen the Chicago Cubs last appeared in the World Series, the team's pennant-winning roster included names like Dewey, Mack, Walter, Stan, Lon, Cy, Len, Lennie, Hank and Peanuts. The National League was composed of only eight teams. Baseball cards, discontinued during the war, generally featured painted images. Mordecai Brown was still alive, Bud Selig was 11 years old and Rob Manfred was not yet born.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Signup and join a league today!]
Chicago lost the 1945 Series to the Newhouser and Greenberg-led Tigers, and so began one of the more remarkable periods of sustained non-achievement in the history of team sports. These past seven decades have been a little rough for the Cubs.

text: Hello, I figured my final message about the LFS archive would be appropriate here since I think more people lurk in lfs-support than lfs-chat. I have taken the time to trackdown packages and patches for LFS-3.3, 4.0, 4.1, 5.1.1, and the 6.x and 6.x.x releases, and will be archiving future releases. If anyone has an lfs package archive for 5.0 let me know, the web archive doesn't have such a database, same for 5.1. Also, if anyone is looking for 3.3 and 4.0, 4.1 packages, they'll be available when the web archive explodes. I didn't do any archiving, other than books, of releases previous to 3.3. If anyone has lfs package archives lurking in old backups or machines that they don't know about... send them to me. Sincerely, William Harrington

Some are too minor to feel; others cause a sharp intake of breath."February, 22, 2011... is a date permanently etched into all of our minds, a date that will go down in the history of New Zealand as one of our darkest days," Prime Minister John Key told crowds gathered for a civic memorial service in the city Wednesday.The magnitude 6.3 quake shook the city for a matter of seconds, but it was long enough to kill 185 people from 14 countries. Many more were injured.The tremor brought down buildings in the city center in the middle of the working day, trapping workers and triggering a national state of emergency as rescuers scrambled to save lives. Most of the victims -- 115 -- were buried in the rubble of the Canterbury Television (CTV) building, which was later found by a government report to have been poorly constructed.One survivor, Anne Vos, spoke to the media by cellphone as she lay trapped under her desk in the rubble of the five-story Pyne Gould Corporation building. After being pulled out, 24 hours later, she told CNN, "I was finding it hard to breathe, and I really thought that was it for me. I thought 'this is it - I'm not coming out of here.'"Anne Vos: A survivor's storyOne year later, Christchurch remains locked in recovery mode, a city carved into zones labeled by color to indicate the severity of the earthquake damage to homes and land.

Some have cut their ties with the area; others are still wading through insurance claims on homes waiting to be destroyed.Before the quake, 22-year-old desktop publisher Sarah Boyd lived with her partner in Avonside, a small suburb that has now been condemned. "It was a tiny wee suburb and nearly every house there has gone," she said. "They said that our house was sinking towards the river. They reckon all land would travel towards the river."They moved out of the red zone in November, but Boyd said their new home suffered damage during the February quake and subsequent aftershocks, and may also need to be demolished.Boyd works at the office at the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, which suffered a blow during the quake with the near collapse of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. It is currently being propped up with shipping containers while work continues to determine exactly how much of the building can be saved. The brightly-colored containers can been seen dotted through the city, at the makeshift "Re:Start" mall in the city center and along roads below unstable cliffs considered to be at risk of landslide."It's a city of two parts really," said Matt O'Connell, the earthquake recovery coordinator for the Catholic Diocese, who works in the same office as Boyd. Last week he took part in an Ecumenical door-knocking team made up of representatives from varying faiths in the city."Even just on one street we met a family there who are struggling for food who had eight to ten people living in a two-bedroom house," he said. "A lot of people are tired, stressed and frustrated. The rebuild seems to be going relatively slowly. There are lots of issues."Recovery efforts are being hampered by frequent aftershocks. The February 22 quake was one itself, after a larger, magnitude 7.1 quake the previous September. That one ran deeper so caused less damage. The government said there have been 10,000 quakes since last September, including 39 of a magnitude of five or greater."We had a really good run from June until December the 23rd, then we got hit with a magnitude six quake, two days before Christmas. It really, really set people back. There was further damage, no one was injured, but it was a psychological blow for many people," O'Connell said.While people struggle to recover, work continues to rebuild shattered buildings and infrastructure.Prime Minister Key has said the recovery plan is making "good progress." Construction has started on 26 "significant" commercial buildings in the city center. Work on 80% of the 1,406 buildings marked for partial or full demolition has been completed. And 200 infrastructure repair projects are now underway, he said."Long term Christchurch will look much different but it will be vibrant, new and a great place to live," Key added.Thousands have not stayed around to find out. Population figures released in October, the first numbers made public since the quake, showed more than 10,000 people had left the city in the year to June 2011.On the eve of the anniversary, the city buried the unidentified remains of four people who were killed in the quake in a new cemetery. It will be one of the more somber reminders of that day.The city came to a halt for two minutes at 12.51 local time, as residents paid their respects to those who were killed. Tomorrow they'll get back to the long, drawn-out task of rebuilding their lives and moving forward.More from asiaTensions set to rise on Korean peninsula as annual war games near North Korea fires two missiles into sea, South Korea says Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: From mundane to mysteryPowered by Livefyre
