YOU WILL GET A REJECTION OF YOUR QUESTION IF YOU FAIL TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO QUESTIONER IN FULL!!. I am primarily here to assist with health concerns. I am here for the more difficult questions. Not for questions that you could research and easily find the answer yourself. I have stringent standards that you provide DETAILED and RELEVANT background history on your pet before you ask me ANY question about it other than GENDER or ID. The requested information is in the instructions to questioner. Failure to answer EACH of those questions to provide that background will result in your question being REJECTED. I can answer questions related reptile husbandry, identification (esp. in Texas and the SW), legal aspects, and intermediate-advanced level medical care. I am the director of Wichita Falls Reptile Rescue (TX), a wildlife rehabilitator specializing in reptiles, a founding member of The Society for Horned Lizard Preservation, a subscriber to the International Veterinary Information Service, wikivet.net, lafebervet.com, and a Dept of State Health Services certified animal control instructor (CE) for reptile handling. I do most of my own veterinary care in-house. I am most experienced in Chelonia (turtles&torts) with box turtles and common smaller tortoises; and in Squamata (lizards & snakes) with everything from Anoles, Geckos, Beardies, and Monitors, to venomous snakes. I am most known for my expertise with horned lizards (Phrynosoma). With snakes, my primary expertise is in Crotalids (rattlesnakes), but I can answer a broad range of questions about various species. I am not aware of any reptile related question, in general, that I would not be able to provide some reasonable answer for. I have a direct style and may tell you something you did not want to hear; but the welfare of the animal comes first with me, and I will always reflect that position in my answer.
I am an amateur herpetologist, with 20+ years experience in reptiles. I am a reptile rescuer and subscriber to the International Veterinary Information Service. I have medical and scientific resources available, and have had to learn herp medical care over the years. I am not a vet, but I read from the same materials and have had to correct a few in the past, as it related to reptiles. My specific area of expertise is in Chelonians ( primary- Box Turtles ), Phrynosoma ( Horned Lizards ), and Crotalids ( primary- Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes ); though I have some knowledge and/or experience also with aquatic turtles ( primary- Red Eared Sliders ), tortoises ( primary-Sulcata and Horsfieldii ), monitors ( primary- Savannah ), many other smaller lizards, and with some colubrid snakes.
I am currently the caretaker of 5 Horned Lizards, 22 Box Turtles, 18 aquatic turtles, 7 fire Bellied Toads, 3 Green Iguanas, 1 Spiny Lizard, 1 Bullsnake, 5 Eastern Ratsnakes, 4 Great Plains x Eastern Ratsnakes, 1 Albino Great Plains Ratsnake, 1 Massasauga Rattlesnake, 1 Leopard Gecko, 7 Fox Squirrels, 2 Deer Mice, 2 Hispid Cotton Rats, 3 Merriam's Pocket Mice, 1 Cotton-Tail, 1 Former racing pigeon, and 1 Budgie. Previously: Leopard Geckos, Golden Gecko, African White-Spotted Wall Gecko, Mediterranean Geckos, Bahama Anoles, Ca. Kingsnake, Brazilian Rainbow Boa, Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Russian Tortoise, Savannah Monitor, and Eastern Cotton-tail rabbits.

It is my understanding that the slides only tell you if she's in heat, not when she ovulates. So you'd still need to do progesterone testing for accuracy. I start testing on day 8 for a baseline, then every other. I still do progesterone with natural breedings, some stud owners will only try a couple ties and you want them to count. Also, as Melanie said, you're better prepared.
Once it hits 5 does it start going up rapidly or does it just depend on the female
You breed 5 days after the LH surge......

Proestrus is the first stage of heat. The bitch shows a variable amount of vulvar swelling and vaginal discharge. The discharge is most characteristically bloody and serum-like (serosanguinous) but may range in color from milky to frankly bloody. Male dogs are attracted to the bitch but she will not stand for breeding, and often tucks her tail under tightly, sits down, or turns on the male dog. This stage lasts an average of 9 days with a range from 0 to 17 days.
Vaginal cytology specimens contain a population of epithelial cells that undergo a gradual transition from a predominance of non-cornified cells to complete cornification. Red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and bacteria are present early and disappear as the bitch nears estrus. Veterinarians can only make estimates from these swabs as to when a dog may come into standing heat.
Progesterone is low until near the end of proestrus, when it may begin to rise slightly. Estrogen is the primary hormone being produced, and is the hormone responsible for the physical and behavioral changes in the bitch, and the changes in the vaginal epithelial cells seen by vaginal cytology. Under the influence of estrogen, the vaginal wall becomes very thick and more cornified cells are collected on the vaginal swab.
Estrus is the technical name for standing heat. In this stage, the bitch allows mounting and breeding by the male dog. Her vulva is still swollen but may be softer than in proestrus. Vaginal discharge is still present, and classically attains a straw color at this point, although in many dogs it remains serosanguinous. This stage lasts an average of 9 days with a range from 3 to 21 days.
A bitch is in estrus by cytology when she has 100% cornification with >50% anuclear squames. There are virtually no RBCs, WBCs, or debris present. Veterinarians cannot predict ovulation time prospectively by vaginal cytology alone.
Progesterone rises abruptly early in estrus, and estrogen falls off somewhat. The most important hormonal event taking place at this time is the release of a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). The significance of this is described later. Ovulation occurs during estrus. Until a bitch ovulates, she cannot conceive. Ovulation is the most important event occurring in the heat cycle.
The bitch enters diestrus when she no longer stands to be bred. This is not an all-or-none phenomenon; some dogs are classified as being in diestrus by vaginal cytology and will still stand to be bred. The vulva will gradually decline in size through this stage. Some dogs continue to exhibit vaginal discharge, which usually is mucoid. Most dogs have no vaginal discharge during this stage. Diestrus lasts an average of 60 days and occurs in every dog, whether they were bred or not, and whether or not they conceive.
As the bitch enters diestrus, there is an abrupt shift back to complete non-cornification and WBCs appear on vaginal cytology specimens. This occurs consistently six days after ovulation.
Progesterone remains high throughout this period. All other hormones are fairly low until the time of whelping.
This is the interval between periods of estrous activity. This is a time of reproductive quiescence, when there is minimal hormonal activity and the dog shows no outward physical changes or unusual behaviors. Anestrus lasts an average of 4.5 to 5 months. At this stage, vaginal cytology specimens contain only a scant number cells, all of which are non-cornified.

Per favore, non mi rompere i coglioni.
5 is when she starts to ovulate but the higher the number the better the chances with AI is. My girl was at 7.6 on Thursday and when she did AI on Saturday the cervex was wide open. This was day 12 from start of cycle.
Tests 1,2,3,and 4 she was at .2 (we were thinking something was broken at the lab).
Test #5 she was at 1.7 -- taken on a Monday. Vet said wait until Thurs. for another test.
Test #6 on Thurs., results in Friday morning, she had zoomed to 9.0.
Vets did a frozen sperm surgical implant that afternoon.
This was day #14 of her season.
At some time between Mon. and Thurs. she went from 1.7 to 9.0. On Tues. or Wed. she must have hit the magical 5.
Last litter she did about the same. From a Friday test result and then re-test on Monday with results on Tuesday she zoomed to 9.0. Repro vets did one side by side AI late Tuesday afternoon. 12 puppies. The side by side AI was done on day #12 of her season.
Why 6 progesterone tests? The first one was too early. That was our fault. And then she was slow to ovulate which meant test after test until BINGO. $120 per test plus a $19 office visit= $139 per test. Plus a vaginal slide her first visit was $56. That's $890 wrapped up in progesterone tests. When I picked her up, I wrote a check to the repro clinic for $1,296. (which included the surgical implant). On top of that is the stud fee and the fees of the sperm bank to ship the frozen sperm Fed Ex Overnite, rental of the canister, return of the canister, phone calls, faxes, yada yada. However, this is Ruby's last hurrah. No more breedings; it's our last chance to get another Ruby puppy so it's worth it.
Once you are in it, you are in it. No backing out until it is over. And now we count the days on the calendar for the ultrasound.
Kim Pfister, Rainmaker Labs
Don and I also have this theory. If natural breedings are spaced somewhat far apart (some do 3 breedings and space them apart every other day) we think this is why you can get very small puppies. It makes sense to us that conception can take place at all 3 ties over this time period. But when the uterus says times up, all of the puppies are born so you can get some small ones that were conceived a few days after the rest. That's our theory for runts.

Young Urban Narcissists
Revised: 10/08
"Yunnie" stands for Young Urban Narcissist. An obvious play on the outmoded "yuppie," this neologism is my attempt, using applied psychoanalytic theory, to grasp a mass cultural shift currently generating and feeding on tremendous change in New York City--and much of the country.
While "yuppie" was aimed at professionals, describing people of a certain socioeconomic bracket, "yunnie" describes a characterological type. Malignant narcissists exist across all socioeconomic strata, but may be more prevalent among the upwardly mobile.
I originally introduced the yunnie idea in this post in August of 2007. Since then, my ideas about the narcissistic personality and its effect on New York City have evolved. One benefit of a blog is that it's rewritable. Using some of that original post combined with new material, I'll be revising the description of "yunnie" here, filling in the blanks and fleshing it out in better detail, and adding links from outside sources.
As of 3/09, the idea of An Age of Narcissism has caught fire in the media. This Slate article provides an excellent overview.
A 6/12 cover story in New York magazine outlines research into the ways that having money, pursuing money, even thinking about money reduces one's empathy and makes you more, basically, narcissistic.
In 1/13, Consumer Affairs asked, "Are today's young people deluded narcissists?"
May 2013 TIME cover: "Here's the cold, hard data: The incidence of narcissistic personality disorder is nearly three times as high for people in their 20s as for the generation that's now 65 or older..."
My following posts pretty much sum up my ideas on the topic:
From the original post:
New York City is being destroyed, block by block, building by building. Who are the people responsible for this? What do they want and what do they fear?
They are terrified of the unfamiliar and cling to the known. When in unfamiliar settings, separated from their soothing cellular phones and forced to stand in line with nothing to do but think, they become extremely anxious. This anxiety, an irrational fear of annihilation, sends them into a primitive, infantile rage.
These people are Young Urban Narcissists, or Yunnies. A narcissistic personality is essentially created by inconsistent, frustrating parents. It makes sense that Yunnies would be attracted to the consistent and the gratifying. Chain stores like Starbucks and Walgreens promise both--the Yunnies always know what to expect and are rarely disappointed. The giant condo complexes they live in offer round-the-clock services and gratify their infantile needs.
Yunnies are the perfect neighborhood destruction machines due to their lack of empathy, sense of entitlement, and contempt for those "beneath" them. Their rage against mom-&-pop shops, I believe, comes in part from the very name "mom & pop," which arouses their envy, reminding them of the "bad object" parents of their infancy. The fallible humanity of these shops inevitably disappoints and frustrates the Yunnies. "What do you mean you're out of skim milk?" they tantrum, and "I can take my dog wherever I want!"
Watch out. Arm yourself with the facts about Yunnies:
- They feel cut off from real human connection so they create constant pseudo-connections via cell phones or Blackberries.
- They feel empty and express their aggression through oral rage, shopping compulsively and consuming aggressively.
- They are grandiose and believe the world revolves around them.
- They demand constant attention--shouting into cell phones and making dramatic scenes is a favorite way to draw attention to themselves.
- Their hidden, deep belief in their own worthlessness makes them strive for high-status jobs and condo lifestyles, where a false sense of power temporarily lifts them up.
- At the extreme end, Yunnies are sociopathic, without conscience and without remorse--these are the most dangerous and, I believe, the fastest growing subgroup.
Note 1/2/10: Maybe the ultimate end of this solipsistic personality type is autism, a narcissism so extreme, it becomes locked in. Maybe it's in the brain. From The Smart Set: "Our contemporary culture, with its loneliness and its materialism and disjointed nature, is typical of left brain dominance. As such, we have autism, which is an almost total dysfunction of the right brain: an inability to read facial expressions, a lack of empathy, failure to recognize metaphor or irony."
A few NY Times articles:
Narcissism on the rise?
Everyone's a narcissist (and misunderstand the term)
Situational narcissism

This was a fantastic post. Not a native New Yorker, but I completely agree. "Yunnies" are destroying the entire culture in which we live. Let's face it, thanks to shows like NYC Prep, they are the culture.

Reading this post is like having an oracle. Jeremiah--it's fantastically well said and accurate. I grew up in the Village and points in Soho, and in horror, have been trying to describe the cultural and atmopspheric changes that have been happening in these areas since the mid 80's--their acquisitiveness has a hungry termite quality.
Thank you.

I think your observations are accurate, but I think the problem isn't just with New York. I've seen the same type of behaviour in places like Ottawa and Toronto in Canada. So I think the problem is endemic and can be found pretty much in any urban situation worldwide.
I know someone in Toronto who is a super MBA type HR administrator.
Just read this BS. It's yuppie speak. They have their own superfluous superficial language and unless you speak that language you're not part of the club. You have to write this crap on resumes nowadays if you don't your resume to get tossed in the recycling bin.
She and my brother came to visit us and all she did while she was complain about this and that. She was complaining that our housekeeping standards were low. She has the benefit of a minimum wage maid from Central America to clean her toilet bowl to a sparkling shine so they can see the reflection of their deluded perfect narcissistic selves in the water.
When I had enough of her BS, I gave the both of them the coldest icy murderous killer Tony Soprano stare and still they never got the hint to leave. Furthermore, they invited themselves over again until I had to use brutal honesty and told them they had an inflated sense of themselves and their capabilities and that if they came I would stand an 1/8 of inch from their face and give a West Point style dressing down in order to teach them some respect.
Can you imagine if you still had the military draft in the U.S.? Could you picture these people pinned down by gunfire on some mountainside in Afghanistan? You would lose the war and the taliban would be marching down Broadway in no time.

Honestly, I don't know why this show appealed so much to me. It might be the mythology that is told throughtout each of the battles, or perhaps its the fact that I like just about all the main characters and their personalities. Alongside these two things, I honestly just like the core part of the story, and that is the main lead, Kusanagi Godou being confronted and targeted by many different gods/ goddesses and Campiones. As each fight dawns upon him, he is forced to push himself to the limits and along the way become more able to confront the ever-growing challenges. I greatly hope for and await a... See full review
Honestly, this show is probably one of my top 10 wtf animes that I have ever seen. That aside, the sheer randomness of the comedy reminded me of a much more fanservice based version of FLCL, which is probably the sole reason why I even remotely enjoyed this anime. The characters in and of themselves weren't unique, however when they are paired together, helped to make some pretty hilarious moments. As such, I am giving this a 6.5/10See full review
I personally found this anime to be very entertaining and interesting despite the storytelling and development issues. I really liked Ryner as a main character because of the fact that even though he seems to be a person with little surface issues, what IS shown of his past dictates otherwise. While the whole lazy main character that can become incredibly overpowered at perfect moments cliche was there at least once, I found myself unable to dislike many of the characters, animation, and the overall world of Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu. I am anxiously waiting in the hopes of an announcement of season 2... See full review
Black Cat was one of the first anime I watched, alongside Pokemon, Yugioh!, Kiddy Grade and Basilisk. As such, this show is held especially dear to my heart. Anyways, I found that despite the fact that the anime left out much of the manga, they found a way to make the show and story enjoyable, despite the filler episodes/hiccups they had along the way. The contrast of characters between Train, Sven, Rinslet, and Eve all help to make the main cast an enjoyable spectacle to behold. As for the actual story itself, Train's quest for revenge, and Creed's desires for world domination and Train's (love?... See full review
During the first couple episodes I watched, I originally thought that the concept, story and character design had the potential to be at the very least, an amazing show. However, as the "story" progresses, the story's very foundation began to crumble. The fact that they tried to fit everything into 12 episodes made it extremely difficult not to rush the ending, and the results showed. They could've easily dragged this to at least 24 episodes, made the story develop at a much less hastened pace, and all the while keeping the story interesting. In the end though, what's done is done. The hastened... See full review

By Robbie Ward/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – As part of the state Republican Party's increasingly larger presence in Tupelo's mayoral election, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves made a brief appearance Wednesday to endorse Fred Pitts' campaign.
Reeves, who also has spent time in Meridian and Ocean Springs to support Republican mayoral candidates in those cities, visited with Pitts and about 20 supporters in downtown Tupelo to offer a formal endorsement.
With the general election less than two weeks away, Pitts, 70, a businessman and Ward 2 councilman, has acknowledged a tougher race than anticipated with Democrat Jason Shelton, 37, an attorney.
Standing alongside Pitts at Park Heights restaurant, Reeves described his preferred successor to Mayor Jack Reed Jr., who did not seek a second term.
Reeves said Pitts' leadership on the City Council, in private business and in civic organizations make him the obvious choice in the June 4 general election.
"It's those leadership qualities that are going to make Fred a great mayor in Tupelo for the next four years," Reeves said.
Reeves also compared differences between Republicans and Democrats in Jackson and Washington, D.C., as reasons why local voters should stick with the GOP.
"You see the differences between the parties," Reeves said.
In a city known for Republican mayors for three decades, Pitts has history on his side.
However, quietly many Republicans in the community grumble about some of their friends planning to vote for Shelton, whose campaign has held a fundraiser for Republicans supporting his bid for mayor.
Tupelo Republican Jim Newell, the Ward 3 councilman, has endorsed Shelton.
Pitts has said his personal relationships with Republicans on the state and federal level can help with economic development projects.
"It's important to have a progressive city like Tupelo to continue its economic boost," Pitts said.
Shelton, a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative candidate, said he wasn't surprised to see Reeves making an appearance to support Pitts but didn't think it would matter to voters.
"People need to keep in mind on June 5th all these happy faces will leave Tupelo and either Mr. Pitts or I will be elected mayor," he said.
"And that person will serve for four years."
Last week, state GOP chairman Joe Nosef attended a Tupelo fundraiser for Pitts and pledged additional resources to help win the mayor's race.

I started to have problems then treated myself to a new cutting mat AND a 60mm Olfa cutter, no problems at all now. I would really recommend investing in the 60mm if you do a lot of cutting, which I do.

Do blades have a front and back? How can you tell?

I didn't know there was a front or back either, it seems odd as I do clean and change the blade over when I do so.

RE:Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
Ray, I do not like belly boats, I guess I am an accident waiting to happen. They would not be a good vehicle in the surf. I had one of them things, it almost killed me in Nimgret Pond. What happened was I had crossed the channel to the marsh to work the undercut bank along its edge, and was returning. I was in about thigh deep water walking backwards with flippers on when I tripped on a rock and went over backwards, I was like a bobber, except I was upsidedown, and having a hard time to get turned right-side up. I was luck that I could, with my hands, get close enough to shore to get a breath and get turned right-side up. It was April, and boy! was the water cold. Came close to drowning in about 3 foot of water. No thanks to a float tube. I gave it away to a friend, good riddance.
RE:Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
Belly boat, only way to go Art! Those float tubes have all the gismos. Rod holder, cooler, place for your GPS. Don't worry about getting there? We'll take turns towing ya.
On calm days Al_D can take you in the tidal ponds. I can tow you through the breachways to coastal locations during two foot conditions. Your son with his new 26 footer, can take you offshore. You can do doubles with Juro. Will put both on the spreaders and have Josko jerk you around.
Stay out of chum slicks for sharks and avoid those guerrilla bluefish. One more thing, watch out for those pogy snaggers with their weighted treble hooks! You know the ones. The ones Tom Meade talks about.
RE:Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
Juro, I do hope that I catch up to you before June. I usually go to the Worcester show where I can try out new rods in the casting pool, and get to talk with the various experts that I have met over the years. Maybe I will even see my new inflatable.
RE:Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
Just as a side note.. I picked up a Tribalance Kayak this year and since I picked it up late in the summer I did not get to use it alot, but I would put it in at Ridgvale beach in Chatham and book it to Morris Island and then across to Monomoy. Since there are pontoons it is a little difficult to manuver but not really a problem. I can stand up in the cockpit or sit up highter and use a rod holder when traveling.. It weighs about 55 pounds an I put it on top of the Jeep. No problem beaching it in the surf It does not tip over. At least uder usual cape south side beach conditions. I am looking forward to using more on the Monomoy flat next year and somthing to consider if you are looking to a Kayak. I think it is great for flyfishing and gives the kind of stability that is sometimes needed in changing conditions. I also don't think it would provide a false sense of security.
RE:Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
Art -
I look forward to your visit to Monomoy! Please allow me to be your host, although it will be a team effort with everyone pitching in (that's our style).
I have had very little to regret this season, but one thing I regret about my trip to British Columbia the same weekend was missing the chance to chew the fat with you at Rhodyfest '2000. As you know I wanted to hook up at Rhodyfest '99 as well without luck either. Monomoy gets hot by June, so I will make it a commitment to arrange for a great time hitting the various locales on the refuge with you.
Who knows we might be stylin' in inflatable kayaks by then!
RE:Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
Thanks Ron for the information. I looked at the site, The inflatable looks fine, but to heavy for me to handle alone. I am thinking of something in the max of 40 lbs that a 71 yeare old weakling can handle. It has to ride on the top of my truck. It will only have to last a couple of years, might have to put the rods away, and just remember the good times. One thing for sure I am going to make the trip to Monomoy next year, if I can still breathe.
RE:Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
Juro- You wouldn't be talking about another "Gerald" like Jack Gartside was using are you. HAHA!
On a more serious note- I was talking to a commercial Quahog diver who uses one and he's used it for 4yrs without any trouble. His is 14' and he powers it with a 40hp and been in some nasty weather with no fear.
Also the Coast Guard is using them alot in Narragansett Bay because they are light fast and stable. Just my $.02 ronl

Per the earlier thread I am also considering an inflatable. Just the ability to deflate it and have it available whenever I need it alone makes it interesting, and it seems some do not require a compromise in performance.
I have a confession I was not going to tell - I plan to tote it out to MOnomoy on the ferry to get me within striking distance of the south island when the tide is right, or to cruise over the crib like the flats boats, or the humps, or....
Try that with a pungo!

Kayaks Verse an Inflatable
I have had a Kayak for 3 years, it is a Necky Garnet. This kayak has a uuround bottom for about 3/4 of its length, and also has a retractable skeg. It is very easy to handle, and is very maneuverable, I have gone in and out of the breachways without any problems on either the incoming or the outgoing. The problem is that coming into the surf, trying to land on the beach I have flipped everytime. The problem being that, when you ride the wave in, I cannot get out of the kayak as the round bottom causes it to lean as you try to get out, the next wave finishes you off. Maybe if I had a flat bottom kayak like a Pungo it wouldn't happen.
On the other hand an inflatable of between 8 and 10 feet should be a better surf machine. I have observed several times of two guys from CT put their inflatable in the surf, go out in front of the breechway and catch fish after fish when all I could do is be envious of them. They would fish for a couple of hours then come back in to eat and stretch their legs. I never saw them have a problem landing, orgoing into the surf. The wife is going to kill me, but I think next year I am going to find an inflatable. No motor, just oars. I think at a sacrifice of maneverabilty it would be great when you drive the beaches, as many many times there are fish breaking about 200 yards outside of the surf line, and all one can do is watch and wait, hoping that they will come in close. This doesn't happen often.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Melissa Cox's dedication to her preschoolers at Oxford's Scott Center won her 2013 Teacher of the Year awards at both the school and district levels.
Other campus-level winners were Jill Knox (Oxford Middle School), Amy Little (Oxford Elementary School), Valerie Mathis (Bramlett Elementary School), Rebecca McKittrick (Oxford High School), Jackie Mulkey (Della Davidson Elementary School) and Randy Taylor (Oxford Learning Center).
"Every day we have teachers doing wonderful things," said Assistant Superintendent Bill Hamilton in announcing the awards Monday. "This district is made up of some of the finest teachers you can find anywhere."
Hamilton said Cox, who is in her 31st year as a teacher, has won the award as Teacher of the Year for the Scott Center for three of the four years she has taught on that campus.
The Scott Center serves severely mentally and physically challenged children from the Oxford, Lafayette County, Holly Springs, Marshall County and Water Valley districts as well as school-age children who reside at the North Mississippi Regional Center.
One of Cox's colleagues said in her nominating letter that Cox collaborates with fellow teachers and teaches sign language to enhance preschoolers' appreciation of singing.
"She's also one of the most thoughtful people I know," said the unnamed colleague. "Mrs. Cox often brings me gifts that I can use with my students in my classroom."
An administrator said of Amy Little, "She's willing to share her experiences with her colleagues. She makes her classroom a beautiful, fun place where her students thrive."
Students and colleagues offered a host of compliments in describing Valerie Mathis: "Dedication beyond any I have ever seen," "Above and beyond – whatever it takes," "One of my favorite teachers" and "Like my second mother."

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
Time Warner Versus WISN/WISN Versus Time Warner
We can no longer watch our favorite news Channel - WISN, Channel 12 and ABC television shows....because we have Time Warner Cable. We only have Basic Cable because we don't watch a lot of cable channels. We have had Time Warner Cable for a long, long time. I don't quite understand why WISN and Time Warner cannot work something out - since, we the customers, are the ones losing out. I guess customers aren't important!!!??? Between what we pay AT & T for our internet service and what we pay Time Warner for a minimal amount of channels, we can say that the prices continue to increase at no additional benefit to us. So what else is new?
In a perfect world, I'd like to cancel cable and our AT & T internet and say "take a hike". I don't know of any other alternatives to fast internet service other than these two "customer oriented companies". We could go to a satellite dish for TV but our condo complex doesn't allow them; the building antenna that was on our building is gone since they replaced the roofs and decided that the antenna was no longer necessary. Not sure what other alternatives are available for us. We could try an indoor antenna and hope that we could pull in all of the local stations with as good of reception.
And, again, the consumer is at the mercy of the "establishments". We are "stuck" between a rock and a hard place...............

In terms of rare collections, this one gets top marks. An Australian man has made a habit of collecting his navel lint, earning him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The Australian librarian started "harvesting" his fluff in 1984, at a youth hostel in Brisbane. After 26 years, the complete collection now weighs 22.1 grams, or .77 ounces.
"I became curious about how much navel fluff one person could generate (enough to stuff a cushion, maybe?), and the only way to find for sure was to collect it and see," he wrote on his blog feargod.net. "Millions of people collect stamps and coins, but as far as I know nobody else collects navel fluff. That makes my collection unique!"
Each day, the 45-year-old plucks the lint from his navel before he gets into the shower, and stores it in a clay pot. At the end of the year, he adds the harvest to his main collection, which is housed by color in glass jars and then labeled by date.
"Over the last 20-plus years my navel has accumulated an average of 3.03 milligrams of fluff each day," Barker wrote. "I doubt that many people have done this, so it's not known whether the volume of fluff generated by my navel is any indication of what is normal."
Barker sold three of his jars to a museum for an undisclosed sum and is a quarter of the way to filling a fourth, Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported. Despite his place in the record books, Barker plans to continue collecting his navel lint, and hopes to fill another five jars.

We will be heading out on an extensive cruise. I have HAM e-mail but I am interested in your use of shore-side e-mailing services. Please tell me what software and provider you use and how it works. Also, what do you know about the Internet Cafes?
Sue and Larry respond:
For our provider, we chose AOL, simply because it offers an 800-number-access option. This gives you greater flexibility when you have to borrow shore-side hookups. We find the Internet cafes in less than 25 percent of the areas that we cruise. To be honest, we've only needed to use one such service one. The price was $2 per hour with your own computer and $6 per hour if you used their system. We've found that most libraries also provide Internet access at no charge. If you frequently visit marinas, you can usually use a line there.

Northeast Harbor has had quite an eventful week for a quiet town. Three of the shops on Main Street caught on fire Monday and burned to the ground. As you will see in the picture, the shops are right next to each other. It is a miracle that only two shops went up in flames. We overheard someone talking today saying that there was no wind that day. This is an oddity, especially with the shops being so close to the harbor. Sadly enough, though, there were some homes above the shops and those apartments were also destroyed
The next stop on our harbor tour was Southwest Harbor. This area is very similar to Northeast Harbor. By the time we got there, the fog was really starting to roll in. The sun was all but gone and the temperatures were starting to come down (the temps dropped from 76 to 73 degrees in the short time we were there). Both of the harbor towns had the same kind of shops and restaurants along the main road through town, while having a busy harbor with all kinds of boats coming in and out. Both of these areas are obviously favorite sailing stops along the Maine coast.
The last harbor we went to was Bass Harbor so that we could see the Bass Harbor Light. This is one of the most photographed lighthouses in Maine; you may recognize it. I don't know what it is about a lighthouse that draws so many people, but it seemed as though everyone on Mt
We slowly worked our way back to our favorite harbor, Bar Harbor, and got ready for dinner. By the time we headed out, everyone we passed was wearing long sleeves and/ or jackets and long pants. It was very chilly tonight, by far the coolest night we've had. The restaurant we ate at had outdoor seating. They were apparently desperate to use this seating, so they brought out three enormous heaters in order to use the outdoor tables. (By the way, we hear that it's been in the upper 90s all week back home. Sure hate we've missed that! Ha, ha!)
We plan to go back and visit some of our favorite places tomorrow. I guess tomorrow's entry will be along the lines of a "Best of Bar Harbor" entry. Where do you think we're heading?

A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional figure that is formed by polygons that enclose a region in space. Each polygon in a polyhedron is called a face. The line segment where two faces intersect is called an edge and the point of intersection of two edges is a vertex. There are no gaps between the edges or vertices in a polyhedron. Examples of polyhedrons include a cube, prism, or pyramid. Non-polyhedrons are cones, spheres, and cylinders because they have sides that are not polygons.
A prism is a polyhedron with two congruent bases, in parallel planes, and the lateral sides are rectangles. Prisms are explored in further detail in another Concept.
A pyramid is a polyhedron with one base and all the lateral sides meet at a common vertex. The lateral sides are triangles. Pyramids are explored in further detail in another Concept.
All prisms and pyramids are named by their bases. So, the first prism would be a triangular prism and the second would be an octagonal prism. The first pyramid would be a hexagonal pyramid and the second would be a square pyramid. The lateral faces of a pyramid are always triangles.
Euler's Theorem states that the number of faces , vertices , and edges of a polyhedron can be related such that .
A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron where all the faces are congruent regular polygons. There are five regular polyhedra called the Platonic solids, after the Greek philosopher Plato. These five solids are significant because they are the only five regular polyhedra. There are only five because the sum of the measures of the angles that meet at each vertex must be less than . Therefore the only combinations are 3, 4 or 5 triangles at each vertex, 3 squares at each vertex or 3 pentagons. Each of these polyhedra have a name based on the number of sides, except the cube.
- Regular Tetrahedron: A 4-faced polyhedron where all the faces are equilateral triangles.
- Cube: A 6-faced polyhedron where all the faces are squares.
- Regular Octahedron: An 8-faced polyhedron where all the faces are equilateral triangles.
- Regular Dodecahedron: A 12-faced polyhedron where all the faces are regular pentagons.
- Regular Icosahedron: A 20-faced polyhedron where all the faces are equilateral triangles.
Identifying Polyhedrons
Determine if the following solids are polyhedrons. If the solid is a polyhedron, name it and determine the number of faces, edges and vertices each has.
The base is a triangle and all the sides are triangles, so this is a polyhedron, a triangular pyramid. There are 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices.
This solid is also a polyhedron because all the faces are polygons. The bases are both pentagons, so it is a pentagonal prism. There are 7 faces, 15 edges, and 10 vertices.
This is cylinder and has bases that are circles. Circles are not polygons, so it is not a polyhedron.
Using Euler's Theorem
1. Find the number of faces, vertices, and edges in the octagonal prism.
Because this is a polyhedron, we can use Euler's Theorem to find either the number of faces, vertices or edges. It is easiest to count the faces, there are 10 faces. If we count the vertices, there are 16. Using this, we can solve for in Euler's Theorem.
2. In a six-faced polyhedron, there are 10 edges. How many vertices does the polyhedron have?
Solve for in Euler's Theorem.
Example 1
In a six-faced polyhedron, there are 10 edges. How many vertices does the polyhedron have?
Solve for in Euler's Theorem.
Therefore, there are 6 vertices.
Example 2
Markus counts the edges, faces, and vertices of a polyhedron. He comes up with 10 vertices, 5 faces, and 12 edges. Did he make a mistake?
Plug all three numbers into Euler's Theorem.
Because the two sides are not equal, Markus made a mistake.
Example 3
Is this a polyhedron? Explain.
All of the faces are polygons, so this is a polyhedron. Notice that even though not all of the faces are regular polygons, the number of faces, vertices, and edges still works with Euler's Theorem.
Complete the table using Euler's Theorem.
|Rectangular Prism
|Octagonal Pyramid
|Regular Icosahedron
|Triangular Pyramid
|Heptagonal Prism
|Triangular Prism
Determine if the following figures are polyhedra. If so, name the figure and find the number of faces, edges, and vertices.
- A truncated icosahedron is a polyhedron with 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal faces and 90 edges. This icosahedron closely resembles a soccer ball. How many vertices does it have? Explain your reasoning.
For problems 15-17, we are going to connect the Platonic Solids to probability. A six sided die is the shape of a cube. The probability of any one side landing face up is because each of the six faces is congruent to each other.
- What shape would we make a die with 12 faces? If we number these faces 1 to 12, and each face has the same likelihood of landing face up, what is the probability of rolling a multiple of three?
- I have a die that is a regular octahedron. Each face is labeled with a consecutive prime number starting with 2. What is the largest prime number on my die?
- Challenge Rebecca wants to design a new die. She wants it to have one red face. The other faces will be yellow, blue or green. How many faces should her die have and how many of each color does it need so that: the probability of rolling yellow is eight times the probability of rolling red, the probability of rolling green is half the probability of rolling yellow and the probability of rolling blue is seven times the probability of rolling red?

Georges BRAQUE
Georges Braque (b Argenteuil-sur-Seine, Seine-et-Oise, France, 13 May 1882 – d Paris, 31 August 1963) studied at night-school at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre and later in Paris in 1900. Influenced by Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism and Fauvism, Braque later focused on his own explorations of geometric forms and space. Another important interest throughout Braque's career was ancient Greek and Etruscan art.
Braque collaborated with his friend Pablo Picasso to forge the new style of Cubism in 1909, developing it through four stages: Cézannesque, analytic, hermetic and synthetic. Braque passed through these four stages and then began to drift away from the movement. Mobilised for the First World War, he suffered a serious head injury that caused the loss of his sight for a significant period, preventing him from painting again until 1917. By 1920 Braque had become interested in neoclassical aesthetics and by the 1930s his style had totally changed.
In 1923 Braque received his first commission from Diaghilev to produce set designs for the Ballets Russes production of Les Fâcheux (The bores). He collaborated with the Ballets Russes again in 1925 for the production of Zéphyre et Flore and in 1926 for Les Sylphides. As well as his work with the Ballets Russes, Braque designed scenery and costumes for Darius Milhaud's Salade, which was choreographed by Léonide Massine and performed at the Théâtre de la Cigale in Paris in 1924. In 1950 he designed for Louis Jouvet's production of Molière's play Tartuffe at the Théâtre de l'Athénée in Paris.

As others have posted, he will let you know when it is time to go.
Had a dog a couple of years ago. Didn't act like himself all summer....growley which was not his nature at all--he was always a happy guy. Loose stools as the summer dragged on, which were uncommon for him. In late October of 2010, he started having really loose stools and we treated him with flagyl...some improvement but not a lot. Tried another round. Then, one friday in Nov. I was giving him some love and felt huge lymph nodes. Monday back to the vet, diagnosis lymphoma. Did tests and then chemo on Thurs. Friday he felt awesome. He ran through a field we always walked like he had done for years and I video-taped him. He was so happy. Sunday...different story...very tired. Went in on Monday for second chemo. Blood work was terrible. Turned out he had somewhat rare intestinal lymphoma and was bleeding internally. I am thinking the chemo ate away the cancer and his intestines?? We had to put him to sleep on Tues. Nothing more could be done. My big Fancy....what a gorgeously ripped 85- pound hunk of dog...and, yes, he was a male.
So, enjoy him while you have him and do the right thing when the time comes.

I'm very sorry you got this diagnosis. I lost a 7 year old Golden, Toby, to lymphoma 10 months ago. The first symptom was complete lethargy, wouldn't even get up. We chose the prednisone route and a cancer starving, high calorie, high omega3 fat diet. The prednisone put him into remission quickly and the lymph nodes returned to normal size. Toby felt great, on top of the world due to the pred! The weight loss stopped and he eventually gained some weight back. I was told the average life expectancy after diagnosis was 5 weeks. We got 5 terrific months without a single symptom. He was doing so well i was starting to hope that he would be one of the ones who went for years on only the pred treatment. But, it was not to be. My only regret is that when he lost his remission I didn't know how quickly he would decline, it only took a day and I unintentionally broke my promise to him that I wouldn't let him suffer. May you get many, many more months with him.
They most definitely will tell you it is "time" if you'll listen. We went through it twice within 6 months with full brother and sister, the sister we had found out just the month before that she had lymphoma. She was doing "great" on Friday, Sat morning, she ate, but not as enthuastic as normal, Sat night, didn't eat at all. That night, she was up most of the night throwing up, the foamy yellow stuff, nothing solid. Sunday morning, she didn't want to go out to air, and had "that look" of please help me...this was the dog that accompanied me thourgh the hardest decade of my life thus far. Part of me died with her...my husband literally had to pick me up out of the grave after we put her there. Within 6 months, we had to make that decision with her full brother that was my husband's...I had taken care of him full time during those last few months, he had prostate issues that had taken him from 70-75 lbs to 45 lbs if I remember correctly. I was "making" him eat in the end and even though he was "my husband's" because I was the one taking care of him 24/7 for those last few months, it hurt just as bad to loose him....especially when he still was showing the heart to retrieve...he went after a bumper I threw and hit the fence (aluminum wire, wasn't hot at the time) just the impact knocked him off his feet, and I "knew" but didn't want to admit it, the husband had to make the call. Three weeks ago today, Millett "told me" that it was time. We had "ignored the signs"...instead of jumping on the bed, for the last 6-12 months, she would put her front feet up to be helped up more frequently than not. The last week or so, she had not been sleeping on the bed with me as normal, something told me to take her outside alone...I threw the bumper and she didn't go for it...normally for bumpers she wasn't "steady"...she WALKED to the bumper the second time I "released" her. The second toss, she walked three steps, then came back to me. We came back in, I sat on my bed and she just stood at the bedroom door, head hanging, looking at me. I "heard" it then, called her to me and helped her on the bed, coddled her and called to the vet to make an appointment that afternoon. I was "hoping" that there was a possibility of a tick borne disease (even though I had not seen any ticks on her) or something "off the wall", while knowing that more than likely it was "time" from what I felt from her. We went in, x-rays showed Spondylosis as well as a mass in the lungs (and I think a spot on the liver looking at the x-ray, it pretty much went to a blur after the mass in the lungs). The vet said she would most likely go downhill rapidly and in a short period of time...I had already helped her out of my car to go in, it was like the back legs just wouldn't "go". To help her on the bed, I had to help her front end up (where the week before, she could get her front feet on top of the mattress) as well as the back end. She was my husband's to start with (before we were together), but I ended up putting her SH title on her after the husband pretty much "gave up" on her. I was still so traumatized so to speak from loosing Sassy and Hickory, that I didn't really "think" I was as attached to Millett as much as I was...and I "knew" that it would prob be the end result of the visit, but again was in denial...even though I "thought" I was ready for it, I can tell you I broke down when she said what the x-ray revealed...when I called and made the appointment, I didn't say why, when asked when I got there, the reply was "probably what we all hate to have to do" and I so wish it wasn't the case. Unfortunately, I know I will prob be going though it again in the near future...we have 4 that are between the ages of almost 8-10 1/2. As seperate households, they were fairly evenly spaced, but with "combining packs" made for a lot of dogs close to the same age.
The only thing I can recommend is keep him comfortable...the predisone can increase appetite (having had it myself as well as rx'd to dogs), so that is prob some of the appetite increase you're seeing. My heart goes out to you because I KNOW what you are going through. Lots of prayers and cyber hugs to out to you.

well, we got all of the pathology reports back, and what got sent in, does not have lymphoma, but they said this can happen and want to do a full biopsy of his liver. I am not going to do chemo, so i am not going to do a full biopsy.
The only other thing but cancer he could have (according to my vet, the internal specialist, and pathologist) is a liver fluke/parasite, which is not ever seen in this part of the country. but it is only $150 for meds to treat this, so we are taking him off of the prednisone, and trying this treatment.
I know it is a .000000005% chance of actually being something other than cancer, but I owe it to him and myself to at least try it for the 7 days and see what happens. I've seen weirder things happen in my life...
If there is no change in his diet, and stool/vomiting, then we will put him back on the prednisone and then take things day by day, part ways when it is the proper time.
I am taking him out west hunting this weekend, even though we probably should take it easy, but I think he deserves to get some ducks in his mouth, since this could be his last trip ever.
Thank you all for your support and recommendations through this trying time for my family and I.

Best of luck to you and enjoy every moment you have with him. Good thoughts coming your way.

Does anybody know how to generate a clock signal on an digital pin of an Arduino Due?like a CPU clock. I am trying to communicate to a OV3640 but i have to give it a 24 MHz clock signal. I was wondering if there was a way to generate that using the CPU clock of the Due.
i tried using the PWM signal but i could not adjust the frequency. Do you know how to change it?
I don't exactly know, but you should definitely take a look at this: http://asf.atmel.com/docs/latest/sam3x/html/group__sam__drivers__pwm__group.html
The PMC controls 3 signals to be output on external pins, PCKx. Each signal can be independentlyprogrammed via the Programmable Clock Registers (PMC_PCKx).PCKx can be independently selected between the Slow Clock (SLCK), the Main Clock(MAINCK), the PLLA Clock (PLLACK), UTMI PLL Clock (UPLLCK/2) and the Master Clock(MCK) by writing the CSS field in PMC_PCKx. Each output signal can also be divided by apower of 2 between 1 and 64 by writing the PRES (Prescaler) field in PMC_PCKx.

TUPELO – It's not Christmas yet, but for art fans in Tupelo, it might as well be.
The Tupelo Civic Ballet is hosting the Tupelo Arts Showcase, an evening of ballet, music, poetry, films and paintings. The ballet will perform, as well as vocalist Sarah Childers and poet Patricia Neely-Dorsey. Art by GumTree Museum of Art director Kit Stafford, Sylvain Chamberlain, Brent Funderburk and Glenn Payne will be on display, and Payne will also showcase some of his films.
Violinist and Tupelo Middle and High School orchestra teacher Svetlana Kaltchenko can't attend the performance, but her orchestra students will perform with Kimya Jamasbi at the showcase.
Jan Dijkwel and Beverly Williams with the Civic Ballet see the event as a way to recognize the many talented artists in the Tupelo area.
"There are great things going on in Tupelo," Dijkwel said. "We can be competitive with other places, and we can tell people Tupelo really has a lot to offer. It's a moment to celebrate the arts in Tupelo."
"We wanted artists who are great and who represent Tupelo very well and represent the arts very well," Williams said.
The Civic Ballet will perform a new piece choreographed by Dijkwel.
There will be a raffle for a print of Funderburk's painting "You Knew You Could."
The artists who perform will have the opportunity to talk about their work, too, Williams said.
The Civic Ballet's year doesn't stop at the Arts Showcase. The company's next performance is "Paquita" on Feb. 9.
Until then, arts fans can savor the dancing, music and art offered at the Tupelo Arts Showcase.
"This is more of an idea of a gift," Dijkwel said, "to the people of Tupelo."

(June 19, 2009)--Former UTSA golfer Johan Edfors is playing in the U.S. Open Championship conducted by the United States Golf Association at Bethpage State Park's Black Course, Farmingdale, N.Y., from Thursday to Sunday, June 18-21.

A native of Varberg, Sweden who now makes his home in Dubai, Edfors is appearing in his second U.S. Open in the last three years. He carded a 75 in the first round of the 2007 U.S. Open held at Oakmont, but missed the cut.
A two-year letter-winner at UTSA from 1994 to 1996, Edfors posted seven top-10 finishes. He was the individual medalist at both the Hal Sutton Invitational and Billy Bundrick Intercollegiate in fall 1995 and took top honors at the UTSA Spring Classic and Crown Colony Invitational in spring 1995.
As a professional, his best year on the European Tour came in 2006 when he posted three victories, including the Barclays Scottish Open, and finished 10th on the Order of Merit. Edfors was the first Qualifying School graduate to post three wins in the ensuing season, and he topped the 2003 European Challenge Tour Rankings with nine top-10 finishes, including two wins.

I've seen it brought up lately that hasbro should make another wave or so of the 6" figures like they used to.
My response is this: the last few 6" type figs (WATTO, SEBULBA, ANAKIN with some dumb accessory stuff) have all been released in 12" packaging and sold for twice their worth. I'm sure when an AOTC YODA comes out it will be packaged in the same manner. Hasbro realized they can get away with this and make more $$$. In fact, they're probably kicking themselves in the pants for not doing this sooner with R2, Wicket, et al.
It's a shame, too, because when the 6" line was going we could see both 12" and the smaller guys coming out at the same time. If it were to come back, the PT figs could be finished off with some podracers like ODY MANDRELL and GASGANO, then AOTC YODA and lil' BOBA.
For the OT, I would like to see an UGNAUGHT, and more ewoks such as TEEBO & LOGRAY.
let me know if you agree or not.

As of GCC 3.0, the GCJ support is beginning to get interesting enough to start thinking of large systems of GPL'd (or LGPL'd) Free Java, although it's not quite up to the everything that, say, JDK 1.1 is ... there are hard problems, and Sun's business strategies are no help.

I found "Educated Horses" (funny song if you think about what he's really singing about) on MySpace:
You have to be a registered MySpace member, but that's FREE.
His other new song seems to be about a woman's period!
Rob Zombie is truly my tasteless hero!
I love his older hell-brimstone-fire-vampire-torture pieces. See demons are creative too! Rob Zombie needs to be in an exorcism movie.

At ArsTechnica, in "Open Ended", Ryn Paul talks about Python 3.0 first alpha. He shows an install trouble he had (I'm almost sure he is not using make altinstall), and focuses the rest of his article on Python 3.0 new string formatting features (more about it in the new ReST docs).
I like the way PEP 3101 is now: the formatting language is only complex when you want to do complex things :), and we dont need a complete programming language inside strings.
I hope a 2to3 fixer could translate the most commom uses of %-interpolation to .format(), but I'm not sure that old-style interpolation will be removed from Py3k. For an example, if the string on the left is not a literal, it is not possible to translate with a 2to3 fixer.

Keohane reflects on women and leadership, April 11
Posted April 4, 2007; 03:08 p.m.
"Crossing the Bridge: Reflections on Women and Leadership" is the subject of a lecture to be delivered Wednesday, April 11, by Nannerl Keohane, who joined the Princeton faculty in 2005 after 11 years as president of Duke University.

Keohane is the Laurance S. Rockefeller Distinguished Visiting Professor of Public Affairs and the University Center for Human Values. She came to Princeton after serving as president of Duke from 1993 to 2004 and as president of Wellesley College from 1981 to 1993.
Keohane's current research focuses on leadership and inequality, including gender issues. She has written extensively in the fields of political philosophy, feminism and education.
The talk is sponsored by the Program in the Study of Women and Gender.
