body count
1. The number of people killed in a particular incident, especially soldiers killed in a military effort. The body count is uncertain after the earthquake, but we expect the number to rise as rescue efforts continue. The body count in the latest fight against insurgents is the highest yet.
2. The number of people who participate or are involved in a given activity or situation. I have a body count of about 24 people so far, so it looks like we're still waiting for a few more to join the tour.
body English
An often involuntary or unconscious movement of the body to try and manipulate or influence the course of an object that is already in motion. I always find bowlers' body English humorous, as they contort their bodies to try to will the ball toward the pins.

move (one's) body

My girlfriend broke up with me after she found out I had been cheating on her. Serves me right, I suppose. You tripped while making fun of those kids? Serves you right!
body politic

Over my dead body!
Inf. Fig. a defiant phrase indicating the strength of one's opposition to something. (A joking response is "That can be arranged.") Sally: Alice says she'll join the circus no matter what anybody says. Father: over my dead body! Sally: Now, now. You know how she is. Bill: I think I'll rent out our spare bedroom. Sue: over my dead body! Bill (smiling): That can be arranged.

An operator with Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command will become the latest Marine to receive the nation's third-highest valor award at a Silver Star presentation ceremony on May 12.
Master Sgt. Donovan E. Petty, assigned to 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, will receive the award for gallantry he demonstrated during a Nov. 1, 2012, firefight in Afghanistan when he received "small-arms fire from only feet away."
At the time, Petty and Marine Special Operations Team 8214 were conducting a raid to kill or capture a key insurgent leader when the unit came under fire from the insurgent's protective detail.
"Master Sergeant Petty maneuvered through a hail of gunfire to suppress the enemy fighting position, only retreating in the face of hand grenades being thrown at his position," his citation reads. "Realizing the precarious position of assaulting a fortified enemy position from an open courtyard, he maneuvered to the roof of the building in order to gain a position of advantage over the enemy."
On the rooftop he braved enemy fire to throw a hand grenade before directing the emplacement of an explosive breach to punch a hole in the outer wall of the building where the insurgent was holed up.
"Though receiving small-arms fire from only feet away, Master Sergeant Petty maintained stalwart control, directing the activities which resulted in the capture of the insurgent leader," according to his citation.
Maj. Gen. Mark A Clark, the head of MARSOC, will present the award to Petty at Stone Bay during an 11 a.m. ceremony.

The demonstration launched from 55 square to al-Mudhafar square in Sadr city under tight security measures.
Earlier, the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, criticized the statement issued by head of the Sadr Trend, Muqtada al-Sadr, regarding the armament contracts.
Maliki's official website released a statement which included his answer regarding a question asked by one of the journalists, he asked him about the latest statement issued by Sadr regarding arming the Iraqi Army that involved a number of dangerous accusations to him.
Maliki's answer was "Sadr's statement doesn't matter anymore and he will soon change his statements, his behavior doesn't match with his statements."
Regarding the arming of Iraqi Army, Maliki said "Any one who launches the accusations should prove his accusations before he start talking about it, otherwise he will face the legal consequences.

Know Your Loved One is Cared For
We understand the fear and frustration often associated with memory loss, and we're ready to listen and offer assistance in any way we can. Memory care communities are specially designed living spaces and supporting environments for those who are living with cognitive challenges brought on by Alzheimer's and dementia.
Life at Brookdale brings an opportunity to live life to its fullest, under the care and consideration of those with training and experience to offer kind and compassionate assistance as required. Today, Brookdale is the leading provider of Alzheimer's and dementia care in the United States.
Our memory care program, the Clare Bridge Alzheimer's and Dementia Program, is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach focused on creating feelings of belonging and purpose for each resident, while seeking to preserve their identity and sense of self. We believe that no one should be defined by the symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia. Maintaining identity and a strong sense of self comes from living a life filled with meaning and purpose and contributions — we believe having dementia shouldn't change that.
With gentle guidance and visual reminders, our memory care communities are set up for safe engagement in activities such as gardening, kitchen work, and other projects that provide the opportunity to use meaningful life skills and talents.
Brookdale has cared for individuals living with dementia for more than 30 years. We have the experience to understand the complexity of Alzheimer's and dementia and know how to support them at every stage. We understand what families coping with dementia are going through and want to share our knowledge and experience to guide your loved one through this journey.
Helpful Resources
If you are a caregiver, Brookdale's Alzheimer's & Dementia Caregiver Journal is an excellent multi-purpose tool that can help you provide the best care to your loved one. We also have plenty of helpful articles below where you can learn more about memory care.

Check out the last few weeks worth of blog posts here. One on .NET and Google's Social Graph API. Another on .NET connecting to OpenID. Another on JSON, another on JMS.
When I started this blog, there were people out there who knew, they were certain, that .NET apps could not connect to systems built with non .NET technology, or could not connect to systems built with non-Microsoft technology. This was accepted as fact. I spoke with customers daily who accepted this view as the truth. It was looney. I spoke with these people, explained that .NET could connect to the system they had running in their data centers right then, and they did not believe me. The only way I could convince them of what I was saying, was to build the prototypes and proof-of-concept systems. Even then, people were incredulous. When I connected systems together, people looked at me like I had done something mystical. I remember telling people that the XML libraries in .NET supported XML namespaces, and they flatly did not believe me.
How did it get that way? I think mostly because of the dear Scott McNealy and his stagecraft. Remember him? Founder of Sun Microsystems and longtime industry blowhard. He blasted .NET, repeatedly. Every chance he got. There was a brief period when he claimed that the XML that was produced by .NET apps was "proprietary." And the tech press ate this stuff up. It sold magazines. The kind of claims he made - they were so kooky to me, but the press accepted it. This was a billionaire CEO, someone with a ton of charisma, and when he said .NET produced "proprietary XML", nobody bothered to ask "what they hell does that mean?" They just printed it. And then people read it, and believed it. That was reality. So, off to work I went - building prototypes and proving interop was real, and that XML was just XML.
Scott is now out of the picture, I don't know what he is doing now, I'm sure it's something beautiful - do I recall that he wanted to just enjoy his kids? Well, he's earned it. But the fact is, he is not talking, and he is certainly not talking about .NET as a dead-end lock-in technology for Windows-only shops. With McNealy's mouth no longer a factor in the industry, all the little mini-me's also evaporated. All the people that made a living just repeating McNealy's bon mots disappeared, I guess they are now making honest livings somewhere. The demagoguery in general has waned, and now customers believe what they see, rather than what they hear or read. Now when I say that .NET does JSON, nobody stands up and expresses disbelief. It's years now that people have been building .NET systems that connect to everything under the sun. Interop happens. People know it works now.
It's this kind of thing that makes me start to think that a blog dedicated to .NET-Interop, ...ah...maybe it has lived past its usefulness? I mean, come on now. Does anyone doubt interop these days?
Still, though, I find the novel combinations of systems to be intriguing and thought-provoking, so I'm going to continue writing about interop, exploring different angles, building proofs of concept, and so on.

Compensation for Startups
July 2, 2012
I am asked all the time about compensation. How much should I pay my CFO? My CEO? My… you fill in the blank.
The problem is that we are all prisoners of our own experience. I have represented a lot of technology startups over the years, but it is still not a representative sample. Time is also a factor the "going rate" (if there can be said to be such a thing) was different ten years ago that it is today.
Perhaps some of the larger more active VC funds can get a representative current sample by looking at their existing portfolio companies. But, most people really need industry data.
So, here is a web site CompStudy that looks like it may fill the data gap, and you can get their data. Below are two paragraphs taken from the CompStudy site.
The CompStudy surveys focus on private companies in the Technology and Life Sciences industries. We have conducted these surveys annually since 2000. (I collaborate on the surveys with Ernst & Young, law firm WilmerHale, and executive-search firm Park Square.) Last year, more than 800 private startups participated, giving us an extremely detailed dataset to help you understand the market for executive talent. The first decade of CompStudy surveys – which included almost 10,000 founders from 3,600 startups – served as the data backbone of my book, The Founder's Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup.
As in past years, survey participants will receive free access to our sophisticated reporting/analysis website, including salaries, bonuses, and equity holdings for C-level and VP-level executives. To qualify for the free access, please complete the questionnaire by June 30th, 2012.
If this survey lives up to its promise, it will be very useful.
I can't help but note that a similar phenomena sort of exists (that is lack of actual data) with respect to other aspects of startups: for example, terms and valuation.
Now, for some of this data you can go to our publication Perspectives (that covers New England, and shortly New York as well) or a similar publication from Fenwick & West (that covers the valley). But although we (and I believe Fenwick) track every VC financing in our region, we don't publish everything we know (I don't believe Fenwick does either – although I have never discussed this with any of their attorneys).
So, when you hear someone say market is ….. You are probably hearing their subjective impression and, human nature being what it is, an impression designed to support the speaker's agenda – good, bad or indifferent.

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Josh Rouse will release The Happiness Waltz on March 19 through Yep Roc Records. Sonically, The Happiness Waltz takes a trip back into Rouse's early-2000's period, a time when so many of his longtime fans really came on board. A number of the new tracks could easily find a home on the AM radio of the late 1970's, nestled between some of the biggest songs of the day.
Bay Area duo Melody Walker and Jacob Groopman are wrapping up their 35-date GOLD RUSH GODDESS tour Nov. 16 with a their first headlining show at renowned hometown haunt the Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, 2020 Addison St., Berkeley.
At age 12, young Casey Lee Hurt was handed a pawnshop guitar by his father, a gospel preacher, and told to go make a joyful noise. You could find him on a street corner, coffee shop or local pub doing just that….a boy, a guitar, and a dream. Today, wherever an ear is listening or a spirit needs lifting, Casey is right there singing, all soul and bones, with a guitar, piano, or any other instrument he can get his hands on.
Melody Walker's debut album, GOLD RUSH GODDESS, will be released nationally Aug. 28, but she and partner Jacob Groopman already have reason to celebrate: With their band Front Country, they won the band competition at RockyGrass, the July festival founded 40 years ago by bluegrass icon Bill Monroe.
Rachel Brown will be releasing her debut EP Building Castles on September 18th, 2012.The singer-songwriter, who was born and raised in New York City with Ethiopian, Bermudian and Southern roots, fuses pop, Caribbean, Hawaiian, country, hip-hop and world sounds into Building Castles' six self-penned songs.

With a 60 m, you can run the last two pitches together.
The description in Rossitter's book is pretty much right-on, but I found it still a mental challenge to lead the last 2 pitches, which we ran together, on-site. It *was* a bit run-out at spots, and the pro was 'creative' sometimes. I also found some rope-drag issues, so extend the runners as you can. Basically, I guess what I'm saying is that it's an Eldo face climb. Enjoy!

|There is a very large amount of large loose rock on this face. Be especially aware of expando flakes that would fail under weighted cams. I saw many people below us today without hard hats. Wake up brothers and sisters. This sport is risky enough without having someone above kill you with a bomb. You have been warned.

Hey Russell,
Nice of you to warn people to wear helmets, but how about not prying flakes off the wall and trying to kill us all! My helmet wouldn't have done much to slow down the rock you (or your partner?) sent down at us. Climb under control and within your abilities? Learn to recognize loose rock and don't protect behind it?

|My 2 cents. There is no "8+" traverse or any other 8+ moves if you stay on route. The crux is the first few moves of the traverse, but can be pretty well protected (gear 5 ft right). I didn't feel like the rest of the face was rounout and got gear in every 5-10ft. However, I'd agree you certainly can't just plug in gear wherever you feel like it and some of it was creative, but with good stances.

Uninformed accusations, to be sure. Not a pebble was sent down by me, nor by my partner that morning. I do recall, however, that some rock came down from that area in the afternoon. We had just finished Darkness Til Dawn (so I guess I was climbing within my abilities, as ZF was the day's warmup), and someone hollered rock, and there were a couple of dumbasses standing around underneath (gray t-shirts?) without helmets. So what did they do? They looked up (so the rock would hit them in the face?), then covered their heads with their hands (so they might have their fingers removed?) Did they try to get out of the way? No. They just stood there and grumbled.
Your safety is your own responsibility. Even the most careful climbers will dislodge a rock here and there. The last page Pat Ament's book High Over Boulder lists "A Few Suggetions For Safety." Here is suggestion #1:
"Don't climb below other parties. People drop equipment and knock rocks off. A climb will always wait for another day."
Standing around below parties in a known rockfall area is simply foolish. All of the posts debating the Dirty Deed rappell attest to that. Want to hang out at the GZ without worrying about gumbies dropping rocks onto your soft spot? How about taking ten steps to the west? It's sunny and warm over there, and you won't have some dude's dog nosing in your crotch while you try to eat your lunch.
BTW-- You may be surprised how much a climbing helmet can take. I caught a baseball- sized chunk on the noggin once at Granite Mountain in AZ, during a vertical rescue training course. I saw stars, and a dime- sized gouge was left in the shell.
Wear your helmet. It will save your life some day, and they look oh so cool!

Wow, Mark, you are obviously a talented and clever climber. 511+ trad! How long have you been climbing? and I guess never pulled or knocked a rock off a route - fantastic!
I'm glad you decided to share your advice, because thinking about it you are right. It's probably not a good idea to knock rocks off ledges and pull off flakes. They never really told us about that aspect of the sport when we were learning in the gym. I guess you can't just take gym climbing straight to Eldo. I'm gonna tell my friends about that. Hey, perhaps you'd show us the ropes?
Well I was having a lot of fun throwing rocks down on people, and Eldo is such a good place for it - lots of loose stuff. Much better than Joshua Tree! You really made me realize I should be more careful, because if it wasn't for us gumbies you wouldn't need to wear helmets 'coz no-one would be dropping shit on your head.
Sorry man!!

You're right Russell, my comment wasn't fully informed. I made an assumption and we all know what can happen when we head down that path.I based that guess on the fact that you posted the day of the rocks falling off the face, with no other posts about the route for a year and a half and no other posts about loose rock. Look at your original post. I think you might see why I might have thought that it sounded like you were speaking from experience, rather that in a theoretical way, about flakes being pried off. My bad on accusing you or your partner wrongfully.
Guess I still had a little adrenaline from the near death experience when I posted. BTW-I agree with you about helmets. I was wearing mine that day as was my partner. We weren't the "dumbasses" at the base, we were on route when the rocks came down. Way bigger than a baseball, more like a human head. Regarding Ament's advice: Good stuff, but much easier in his day to avoid climbing in an area with another party on the wall. Hey, there were probably only a dozen parties in the whole canyon on nice days when he penned that tidbit.

|Edward.5.11+ trad? Never knocked a rock off?? Can't just take gym climbing to Eldo??? Wow Edward, what ARE you talking about?

Okay, specifics: At the belay on top of p4 (the sweet traverse left, then back right), there is an obvious overhead flake with a crack behind. I stuck a 1.75 (green) forged friend in it and gave a tug-- the crack opened and creaked like an outhouse door (i.e. it was shit). The next pitch is littered with attached and unattached chunks of various sizes, as is the last. My partner mentioned tugging on an alien and opening up a flake on p5.
As this route is considered popular, I was surprised to see so much loose junk. Now that's not to say that it is all bad; there is plenty of good pro on this route.
IMHO, it's too bad that this face is above such a crowded base, because the climbing might be much more enjoyable after a good cleaning. I think that the fact that it is still a bit messy is a testament to how careful most people are up there.
Rossiter's book lists no less than six variations to his ZF route. Maybe there is a better way? Once you step around the roof on p5, it looks like you could go almost anywhere...

|At what point on P4 do you divert up towards the little tree? When I lead this pitch a few years ago, I took it all the way to the arete on the corner before heading back right on the ramp to the tree. As I recall, the weakness near the end of this traverse, was either not obvious, or looked too sketchy and runnout...
By Russell Oakley
Apr 5, 2004
The caption on the picture of RO below should read p4, not p5. Sorry.
To find where to traverse back right on p4, look for the place where the handcrack opens up into a kind of hollow, maybe only 30- 40 feet from where the crack starts. It is a bit run- out to the belay, but I found it easy, similar to the last 50 feet of Ruper.
Using double ropes eliminated rope drag completely, and nicely protected the second on the run- out bits.

|Now that I'm reading the description others are writing, I may have been on route for the first section of the last pitch. Definitely found the first left-facing dihedral, but may or may not have found the traverse. Didn't climb anything 8+, but the gear was a little sparse and the rock a little loose.

|Jesse, it sounds like you may have gone straight up instead of doing the traverse, which looked very doable, both from below and from the belay ledge a few feet from the top. If this is the case, it looked nicer than doing the traverse and is probably the more obvious line. You'd know if you did the traverse, especially if using single ropes, since it goes 15-20ft left.

A fun pitch, with some route-finding, loose rock, and slightly runout pro.
From the belay by the tree at the end of P4, traverse right about 25' to a left-facing corner system. Pass some loose rock, turn a small overhang (5.7), and continue more or less straight up flakes and small corners for another 80'. When the corner peters out, traverse back left 25' to a ledge with two small pine trees. Done this way, there's no move harder than 5.7 on the pitch.
It's also possible to climb straight up from the tree atop P4. This variation is about 5.6, is also a bit runout, and ends at the same ledge with two small trees. This is a faster way to get to the top if weather is threatening, but the climbing isn't as good as the standard variation.

Arbitration Program
After 1 week of employment I was told to FU, FO, screw you, middle fingered, called every foul name possible, pinched to get my attention -- leaving bruises, poked with fingernails, vehicle alarm triggered on several and repeated occasions, death threats, inappropriate questioning with regard to my personal life and private property, blamed for mistakes of my predecessor, and found myself making mistakes b/c due to the bullying tactics of my coworkers. I was also blamed for another individual's mistakes and called a w***e and s**t. The senior partner attorney I worked for made inappropriate remarks and said he did not feel that I felt comfortable in my own skin. My predecessor would raise her hand with palm toward me as if to slap me, sometimes she would swing and then stop.
I complained not once, not twice, not thrice, but exactly 4 times and each request was met with a "some people are more colorful than others" or a shrug. I lived in constant fear and hid twice in the stairwell or went to another floor to eat lunch to escape the foul language, sarcasm, and threats. I went to the police and they advised me to leave that firm for my own safety and encouraged filing reports and requesting temporary restraining orders.
I was stubborn and wanted to prove myself. Most importantly, I did not want to lose my job in the middle of a recession. I do have metadata and proof that I did contact the police in the event I would like to continue with filing assault charges. I am still w/in the statute of limitations.
One very large woman who would constantly call her teenage son an SOB in its entirety, given she was his mother, what a horrible thing to say. She would bully me into giving her money for the vending machine. I always refused and the abuse would escalate. This woman was as large as a cow and would freak out when it rained and would either be late or leave early during a rain shower.
Three women would constantly ask personal questions that were of no concern and irrelevant to the work environment. They made suggestions to damage my property and what if scenarios if I did not comply with their questioning. This suggestion also involved damaging my family and friends property. The Sheriff was contacted in two counties for their protection and as a precaution.
Family, friends, neighbors have descriptions of these women in the event they attempt to assault individuals or damage property. I have metadata from another employee there that also requested the verbal abuse and foul language to stop. She too was ignored; yet, she has been there for 17 years.
After my 4th request to stop the abuse, I was let go. I've been unemployed for 9 weeks and can't find work. I hate that I'm being punished for having been honest and respectful of my personal self and wanting not only to have a career, but to work with an organization with integrity. Instead I was mocked, stalked, and humiliated.
No one wanted to take the neither time nor patience to work with me in this new environment. I have a graduate degree and am willing to work and learn; however, that firm did not encourage a learning environment.

I am having trouble finding information on how to roll out chocolate and cover a cake with it like you would fondant. I made some modeling chocolate but it was very crumbly and didn't roll smoothly. Does anyone know how I could do this?
Hi, some time back, i asked the same question. Got good answers. Haven,t tried it yet though. Saved my info on it, but can,t find it right now. So here is a site to go to. Just google this question also and you will find lots of answers. I am still trying to find some old post by googling. So , here is a good one, i think.

So, you've figured out where babies come from, and now you want to have one. Good for you! Many women who get pregnant didn't plan on it in the first place, so you're ahead of the game if you've decided it's time before you actually get pregnant. And while you might know what needs to be done to make a baby, you might not know that the way you do it might help to increase your chances of actually succeeding.
Let's start out by remembering that, as long as sperm makes it into the vagina, you can become pregnant. Yes, there are certain sexual positions that will help that happen, and some that will help the sperm get further along toward the cervix. But you can technically get pregnant in just about any sexual position. As long as you and your partner are both fertile and nothing's interfering with your reproductive organs, it's likely to happen just about any time you're ovulating and have sex.
But with all of that out of the way, you need to recognize that some positions will help you get pregnant. These positions deposit the sperm closer to the cervix. It is there that the woman's cervical mucus will help to protect those sperm from the acidic environment of the vagina, and to help the sperm move on their journey toward the fallopian tubes.
Some positions tend to use gravity to their advantage. The missionary or "man on top" position tends to fall into this category. Other positions tend to deposit the sperm further away from the cervix, and cause gravity to work against getting pregnant. Positions where the woman is upright, such as sitting or standing, or with the woman on top, tend to make it a little harder.
There are other things, of course, that you can do to get knocked up. Some people thing that laying down for about half an hour after sex with your bum propped up on a pillow might help. There are even "conception pillows" on the market specially designed for this purpose.
If you're having trouble getting pregnant, of course, you can talk to your doctor. She might be able to offer some testing, treatment or at least advice, beyond just what position to do it in.

Andy Murray is a man who knows a little something about expectations. Winning the 2012 US Open made him the first British man since 1936 to win a Majo...
When I was seven years old my dad introduced me to a game called tennis. I'm now 40 years old, still playing, learning and enjoying it. I'm by no means on a par with Andy Murray, but do share similar energy, enthusiasm, determination and commitment.
At the back end of 2010, whilst the majority of the tennis world entered into their short winter slumber, Serbia played France for the Davis Cup, the premier international team tennis event.
Laura Robson strikes me as centred, sorted and secure sportswoman capable of taking criticism in her athletic stride. Sadly, there is a body of evidence suggesting that ill-judged remarks only add unwanted and unbearable pressure to the strain of competition for other female athletes.
You should be prepared for a sense of déjà vu when watching Olympics tennis this summer. That's because the competition is being staged at the All-England club, meaning we'll essentially be watching two Wimbledons this summer. Yes, as ever, our hopes for medal 48 will rest on the shoulders of Andy Murray.

Prospective Study of Functional and Quality of Life Outcomes in Panniculectomy Patients
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with morbid obesity often develop a significant overhanging abdominal pannus. Problems associated with an overhanging pannus can include difficulty performing routine daily activities as well as exercise due to the cumbersome nature of the excess tissue. In addition, the abdominal pannus tissue often becomes infected due to difficulty with hygiene and abnormal circulation and lymphatic flow. There may also be a significant contribution from the pannus to the patient's underlying cardiopulmonary status which is often compromised in morbid obesity patients.
In addition to weight loss, one of the treatment strategies includes a panniculectomy. A panniculectomy involves resection of the excess abdominal skin and fat in a wedge shape from the lower abdomen. Purported benefits include increased ability to exercise, better quality of life and improved cardiopulmonary function. However, there is a significant morbidity associated with panniculectomy surgery, with wound related complications occurring in as much as 50% of patients with this procedure.
The investigators hypothesize that the panniculectomy procedure provides long term benefits to this patient population despite significant short term morbidity.
|Procedure: panniculectomy

|Official Title:
|Prospective Study of Functional and Quality of Life Outcomes in Panniculectomy Patients
- Improvement in lab values, pulmonary function and quality of life [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
|Study Start Date:
|March 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
surgical intervention
Procedure: panniculectomy
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective trial to determine what if any functional and quality of life benefits are achieved with a panniculectomy. Patients will be evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with specific interventions aimed at describing their functional status. These interventions will include: echocardiogram, pulmonary function testing, arterial blood gas, functional capacity evaluation by physical therapy, and a quality of life survey. The investigative interventions will be performed postoperatively at 6 months and again at 1 year post surgery. Data will also be gathered on complications such as wound infection, dehiscence, and cardiopulmonary problems.
There should be no additional risk to the patient as the surgery and procedures listed are already performed routinely on this patient population.
Study participants will have morbid obesity with significant overhanging pannus that requires surgical intervention.
This study will compare the preoperative values to post operative values taken at 6 months and then at 1 year post operative. These values include echocardiograms, pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases and a functional capacity evaluation.

Without a sample sheet it's hard to say where exactly you are stuck as it sounds like you have most of the functionality.
I'm guessing the listbox/pulldown on the form the user chooses from is a key/unique field in the data? If so, then you seem to know how to find the row of relevant data (you reference to the recordset) so it's just a matter of reading in the data that exists into the text boxes on the user form. When the user is done, the "Done"/"Okay" button (or whatever) is used to capture the data from the form and write it back to the worksheet using the previously captured row as a reference.
So what part aren't you able to get working? Do you have a sample worksheet - scrub all relevant data before posting.

IT now seems likely there is to be a radical re-shaping of the estate of the University of South Wales, with the Caerleon campus looking very vulnerable.
When the university merger was first suggested, one of the main fears was the university in Newport would lose its identity, facilities and courses.
Newport was lost from the name of the new institution and we have commented on that previously.
Likewise courses have been lost to this area, although it is fair to say they have been replaced by others, brought here from other sites.
Now though the University of South Wales has launched a major review of the buildings and land it owns, including the Newport city centre campus and Caerleon.
And the objective is to cut costs.
Given that Caerleon needs £20 million of investment to bring some of its buildings and ageing accommodation blocks up to scratch, it seems to us fairly obvious the USW will pull out of this campus at some point in the not too distant future.
The one shining light is the possibility of the creation of a 'university quarter' in Newport city centre, developing land near the current city campus.
This would be hugely welcome and would breathe new life into a plan first discussed many years ago.
It would also present yet another boost to Newport's wider regeneration.

Genus: Elaphe
Species: obsoleta obsoleta
Description: Black rat snakes are frequent visitors to suburban backyards, farms and fields. They are the snake mostly likely to be seen around buildings hunting for rodents, amphibians and young birds. Despite making occasional appearances throughout the summer, black rat snakes are actually very shy and at the sight of danger, will either freeze or run away.
Black rat snakes are between 3 ½ to 7 feet long. They have shiny black scales on the back and a light colored belly; their throat and chin are a white color.
The head of a black rat snake is wider than the neck and the rest of the body.
Black rat snakes are excellent swimmers and climbers. They will use these skills to catch a variety of food from bird eggs to frogs.
Remember to give all snakes the respect they are due and keep a safe distance. Although black rat snakes do not usually attack when threatened, there have been extreme cases of black rat snakes charging at predators. Black rat snakes also produce a strong foul odor when scared to deter predators and people.
Range: Look for black rat snakes in fields, woodlands, farmlands and around suburban communities from Connecticut to South Carolina and west to middle of Kansas and Oklahoma.

Excluded and invisible children
There is an estimated 8.6 million orphaned children in Nigeria and 930,000 of these are orphaned by AIDS. Orphans and vulnerable children are easily trafficked, prone to sexual assault, less likely to attend schools, stigmatised and excluded. They therefore deserve special care, but presently no adequate care system and social services are available for them.
The stigma and discrimination attached to AIDS culturally are transferred to orphans whose parents died of AIDS; hence they are not integrated into their communities. They lack access to healthcare, education, protection and do not get any support.
Another category of children who experience neglect are children with disability because of the taboo and traditional beliefs that surrounds them. Rehabilitation centres are not maintained and suffer infrastructural decay and under-funding.
Another phenomenon of grave concern in Nigeria is that of children living on the streets. These children are involved in different types of work without any clear pattern and live under bridges, in motor parks, market stalls or with families. The ages of these children can range from 5-17. Those children are more prone to illnesses, malnourishment, drug abuse, crime, accidents, arrest and harassment by law enforcement agents, and are also at risk of being trafficked.
Among children living on the streets, special mention must be made of the Almajirai who are found in the Northern part of the country. The original idea was for these young children to be sent out from their homes to learn Qu'ranic education in traditional way under the care of a mallam. However, the system has been diverted from its original objective and the children have become a means to financial gain by their substitute caregivers who send them to beg in the streets and to carry out other menial jobs. This makes them vulnerable to different kinds of to health, physical and psychological hazards.

> for a cold/warm standby postgresql backup, I'd suggest using pitr. I found that PITR using WAL shipping is not protecting against all failure scenarios... it sure will help if the primary machine's hardware fails, but in one case it was useless for us: the primary had a linux kernel with buggy XFS code (that's what I think it was, cause we never found out for sure) and we did use XFS for the data partition, and at one point it started to get corruptions at the data page level. The corruption was promptly transferred to the standby, and therefore it was also unusable... we had to recover from a backup, with the related downtime. Not good for business... > It's easy to set up and administer. for hot read only backup, bite the > bullet and use slony. I think slony would have helped us recovering from the above mentioned situation earlier and easier, as it transfers logical data and not pages directly. It has though a bigger overhead than WAL shipping in terms of administration and performance penalty. Cheers, Csaba.

In fact, I like it so much, that I wanted to buy the CD. It's an mp3.com CD, at $9.99 plus postal costs it's a bargain. Only a few days left...? Sigh... mp3.com isn't accepting orders any more.
I fear that with mp3.com gone, more will vanish than just the free mp3's allegedly, the archive will be saved, and there's a few similar sites out there. But I wonder what will become of the albums that mp3.com has brought out itself. I fear they simply will no longer be available.

Bobby Jenks is pleased that he and the Red Sox caught his right arm injury in time and remains hopeful he will be able to come off the disabled list when he is due in two weeks.
The right-hander was placed on the DL on Thursday with biceps tendinitis. He said on Friday that the MRI he received also revealed a strained bicep. The injuries had been felt for roughly 10 days. Jenks said he was falling into some poor mechanics by trying to compensate, but knew when warming up in the bullpen Wednesday night that the issue needed to be addressed.
"One of those things where we caught it in time, just unfortunate timing," he said Friday. "One of those things where I've been trying to throw for a week now and it just wasn't going away. During the extra-inning game I tried to get warm, started cramping up on me. I told them immediately."
Jenks said the ailment could be felt at any time of the day.
"The best way I can describe it is standing here doing nothing but my arm felt like I had just done 12 sets of curls," he said. "Very fatigued, just like constant achiness."
The 30-year-old Jenks, signed this offseason to a two-year, $12 million contract, is 1-2 with an unsightly 9.35 ERA. He admitted that trying to throw through the pain had hindered his effectiveness in his last two outings, during which he gave up three runs on four hits and four walks in only 1 1/3 innings.
Jenks said he has never had an injury like this, and insists his elbow — which caused him problems in 2010 — "feels perfect."
As for whether he will be back in two weeks, Jenks remains positive, while offering up no guarantees.
"They're very confident that what I need now is rest let the bicep to heal," he said. "Just take these next three, four days, not even touch a baseball, just go from there. Once it has calmed down completely, just reassess it and see what the exact timeline will be.
"The way it feels right now, just with this day and a half rest, it's already feeling a little bit looser, and I think after another few days we should be right on the track we are now."

Want to pick the perfect photo for your online dating profile? Whatever you do, don't choose a close-up.
Pictures taken about 2 feet from your face make you appear less attractive, trustworthy, and competent than ones taken from a normal distance of 7 feet, says a study recently published in PLoS One.
As distance decreases, your face can appear distorted (a bigger nose and smaller ears), leading to a drop in the "hot" category, according to the researchers. But taking self-portraits is just one seemingly small fluke that can hurt your appearance–and your chances with her. Here are five other flubs you don't know you're making, and the solution to look your best in every situation. (And for more must-have style and grooming tips, sign up for our FREE Style Siren newsletter.)
The game killer: Excess cologne.
The research: Women find men wearing cologne more attractive than those who don't wear any, according to a University of Liverpool study. But that's all for naught when you overdo it. "On a physical level, too much offends your nose," says Tracey Steinberg, dating and flirting expert.
The fix: Use less, but make your scent last longer. Apply an unscented body lotion before applying. The oils in the lotion help prolong scent, says Men's Health Fashion and Grooming Director Brian Boye.
The game killer: A full beard.
The research: In a study of 70 women at Northumbria University, women rated 15 photos of men's faces–altered to display different degrees of hairiness–on attractiveness and aggression. The results? Ladies viewed dudes with full beards as the most aggressive and the least attractive. Ouch.
The fix: Stick with stubble. Women in the same study rated men with a little bit of stubble as the most attractive. Craft your perfect 5 o'clock shadow by creating a line where the skin of your neck meets your chin, says Martial Vivot of Salon Pour Hommes in New York City. "Shave below it and use a trimmer to blend it." Just remember not to make the line too strong–it should look natural. (Don't let simple mistakes sabotage your look! Check out Your Top 10 Grooming Fails.)
The game killer: Pale skin.
The research: Studies have shown that ladies are attracted to dudes with a healthy, golden skin color–sometimes even more so than those with a masculine face (think: sharp features and symmetry).
The fix: Don't let your skin go into winter mode just because cold weather is ahead. Studies have shown that fruits and vegetables like carrots and peppers packed with carotenoids (the pigments that give fruits their orange, yellow, or red hues) can actually alter your skin color, too. The best part: Researchers say it only takes about 3 or 4 servings a day to see some of the effects. Another simple fix: Choose the right clothes (and perfect your shave) to look darker instantly.
The game killer: Your smile.
The research: Simply wiping a smile on your face is a good start for any guy: Study after study shows that women find smiling men more attractive, confident, and trustworthy than those who remain stoic. The problem, though, becomes your teeth themselves–yellow teeth aren't high up on anyone's list of desirable traits in the opposite sex.
The fix: Instead of b-lining it for the teeth-whitening products at the first sign of imperfection, start with a whitening toothpaste, says Lyndon Cooper, D.D.S., Ph.D., former president of the American College of Prosthodontists. A whitening floss will help, too: Plaque that's packed between your teeth tends to soak up colors. And cool it with all that coffee and wine–both are a white smile's enemies.
The game killer: Your shoes.
The research: After looking at photos of shoes, students at the University of Kansas could, for the most part, accurately gauge the owners' age, sex, income, and even–get this–how concerned they were about their relationships, a recent study in the Journal of Research in Personality found.
The fix: Show up for a date in ratty old kicks and you could kill your chances before you even say hello. The good news: Looking sharp doesn't have to mean abandoning your personal style. Stick with a shoe that matches your personality with these 5 Shoes for Every Guy.

The Staff is really friendly, they always try to help you when needed. They have a nice kitchen, with fridge, oven and everything you might need. You won't receive a key for you bedroom. The bedrooms are open and inside of them there are lockers which you can use, but take your on locker otherwise you won't be able to close it. It was really hot in the bedroom but every time I asked them to turn our air conditioner on, they did. Nice hostel, but expensive for what offers.

BRIAN KELLY: Well, disappointing day, obviously. I'm proud of our guys in the second half and the way they competed and mounted a spirited second half in the way we competed and got back to doing what we needed to do. But trying to overcome those two crucial turnovers in the first half -- the three in total. Obviously the interception return and certainly the interceptions in the first half were crucial and the sack fumble.
You spot a great team like Oklahoma 14 points, you're putting yourself in a tough situation. Hat's off to Oklahoma. I thought they played extremely well. Coach Stoops and his staff, we have a lot of respect for them and the way they compete. A class organization and a team and a program that we really enjoyed competing against. It's a program that we really enjoyed the home-and-home with them.
Again, our goal here was to certainly try to find a way to run the football more effectively and we were able to do that. Again, I think I go back to the turnovers for us were too much to overcome. So with that, I'll open it up to questions.
QUESTION: Could you sort of evaluate both your rush offense today, kind of getting that on track, and what you felt like you got out of (senior quarterback) Tommy (Rees) today turnovers and completion percentage?
BK: Well, it's all part of it. It's running the football effectively, and then we don't want to put Tommy in a position where he's got to carry the whole load. We thought that the second half we were able to get into a position where we ran the football, play action pass, some quick throws. That's how we want to play.
We don't want to put this whole thing on Tommy. It's everybody. We always go back to the quarterback around here. But this is about 11 players. We don't execute on the offensive line and the first fumble. We don't run the right route. I mean, it's natural for everybody to go back to the quarterback, but there are 11 players out there. So we just have to do a better job of taking care of the football.
Q: You guys lose your second game this early in the season. The talk all off season was making it back to a BCS game. How much in jeopardy is that now with two losses?
BK: Don't really care about that stuff. That's for you guys to talk about. I've got a football team here we're trying to develop and work with. You guys can have your own comments and decide what that means and you can put us in whatever bowl you want.
We're dealing with our players. We've got to coach better, we've got to develop our players better, and we'll let you guys decide what that means.
Q: You got a zone read look from (senior quarterback) Andrew Hendrix today. What brought that package out today and how do you think he played?
BK: You know, we're just trying to diversify the offense a little bit, trying to add some more looks. He's got some work to do. We've got to continue to work with him, but I think it gives us some things that the defense has to defend as well with him in there.
Q: Last week you talked a little bit about getting off to that quick start with your team, how it's been a little bit of a problem. Is there something that you see that you diagnosed why they've had a little trouble out of the gates?
BK: Look, if I knew what that was, I would not be standing here right now. I'd be doing something else. This is my 23rd year as a head coach. You never expect to not pick up the simplest of stunts and have your quarterback get the ball stripped. You never expect not to run the right route when you're supposed to. You never expect those things, but they happen.
That's why we have ulcers in this business. So you go back, you've got to be communicating. Because, ultimately, it falls on me. We lost today, so that goes in the ledger as a loss. So we've got to go back and communicate better. We didn't do a good enough job communicating. We've got to coach better. We have to do a better job in making sure that those things don't happen again.
Q: (Junior running back) George (Atkinson), for a bright spot, had kind of a big game today. Was that how you expected him to run when he came into this season?
BK: We didn't think George ran physical enough. We told him that. We told him if he wanted to be the starter, that he can't get tackled by his ankles. He can't be the guy that goes down. He's 220 pounds and I thought he ran the ball today like I expect George Atkinson to run the ball. He's got to do that every week. He shouldn't be tackled by his ankles, and he showed that today, and I hope he brings that game with him each and every week because it was sure fun to watch George Atkinson run today. Wasn't it fun to watch him run? That's the way he should run each and every week. I think he's capable of doing that, and we just need that from him consistently.
Q: Forty-three seconds to go in the second quarter, you're down two scores, first-and-10 at the 20, you have three timeouts and the wind at your back. The decision to just go into the formation to down the ball and not try to maybe get a field goal in that situation?
BK: Forty-three seconds wasn't enough time in my estimation.
Q: How difficult was the beginning in order to follow your original offensive scheme? And in this offensive scheme, did you contemplate to use more (junior tight ends) Troy Niklas and Ben Koyack?
BK: No, we didn't abandon anything down 14 0. We stayed with our game plan. We didn't abandon anything. We stayed with it, and we moved Hendrix into the game. I thought we stayed within ourselves, got another score on the board. Didn't change much at all. Thought we stayed patient with it.
Q: You guys are going to the AT&T Stadium. Two weeks ago one team from Mexico, the Monterey Technological, they played at AT&T Stadium two weeks ago. They beat Texas A&M-Kingsville 40 37 in triple overtime. Despite the logistics, would you appreciate or would you like to have in the same weekend one type of these games of the Mexican game at the AT&T Stadium next to a Notre Dame game or in the same weekend?
BK: Sure.
Q: Whatever it means, two losses before the end of September, obviously, is probably two more than you guys hoped for. You had high expectations. What do you drill down on now to make sure they're in a good place going forward? What do you drill down on X's and O's wise going forward?
BK: I don't think there is anything really in terms of X's and O's. I think what you saw out there is we have to play better individually, collectively, unit wise across the board. I think we have to coach better. We have to communicate better. I think this is just about us and we more than it is about two losses, three losses, four losses. Just keep developing our football team to play better collectively as a unit, a group, individually. The guys that you saw out on the field are the guys that we have. We have to get them to play better consistently.
As I said, I'm really proud of the way they competed in the second half. Our defense was salty when they needed to be. I thought we gave up one play that we'd love to have back. You know, the quick slant where we let (Oklahoma receiver Sterling) Shepard inside. Just something that shouldn't happen.
Other than that, we were doing a really good job defensively against a very good offense. Again, could have, would have, should have for us. We're close, we're not there yet. We have some work we need to continue to build on.
Q: Sometimes after an emotional loss, it fuels the team to be better, and sometimes it kind of pulls at the seams. What did you see from your team after this game?
BK: Nothing of consequence other than disappointment in the loss and the recognition that as a group we all need to get better, and they're all accountable. This is a group that each one of them knows why we lost the game. Each coach, each player in that locker room. This is a transparent group. There is nobody in there that is pointing a finger. There are only thumb pointers in there. We're four years into our program. We know clearly what needs to be done. We'll get back to work on Tuesday and work to get better.
Q:You mentioned earlier that you know, it's not just the quarterback, it's everybody. What do you want to see from this offense now that the running game came through? What is the answer to get the offense going?
BK: Well, run the football and stay out of predictable situations. We're down 14 points, and I've got to go five wide receivers against a really good defense that matches up well against teams that do that. This defense was built to do the thing that's we were doing down 14 points. That's what I didn't want to. I wanted to be in two tight ends and I wanted to run the football, and I wanted to run play-action and I wanted to be able to control the game that way.
We got down. Uncharacteristically, threw the ball away, had sacks, and those aren't what we do. That's not going to be a prescription for success. So offensively, you just can't turn the football over the way we did. If you take care of the football, we might be in overtime right now. Who knows?
But the bottom line from this offense is take care of the football, play good defense, and these kids will battle their butts off and find a way to win.
Q: In regards to the Hendrix package, was there something specific you saw in Oklahoma's defense that you wanted to counter? Was there an opportunity that brought it out this week?
BK: No, there was nothing in the Oklahoma package other than we wanted to be a little bit more diversified, help our third down package. Make sure that now you have to defend the quarterback, and really just simply give us some more options in third-and-short. As you know, we struggled in some third and short situations. So that was primarily the reason.

Shelby Co. authorities say anti-smurfing campaign helping in battle against meth
While the battle against methamphetamine is far from over, Shelby County authorities said a state law is slowly helping curb the dangerous problem.
In a news conference at a Columbiana pharmacy Monday, Sheriff Chris Curry pointed to a Sept. 9 meth lab bust that hospitalized four Pelham police officers.
"That's just the tip of the iceberg," said Sheriff Curry. "We see meth cooks in homes and apartments where there are children, we see the damage to the lifestyle of the families, and we see the theft that occurs in the attempt to get money to maintain this."
Last year, Alabama became the first state to launch an anti-smurfing campaign. Smurfing is when customers shop from pharmacy to pharmacy and buy pseudoephedrine to make meth.
"It's a slow process, but it had to get started," said Sheriff Curry. "We were on that slippery slope, and it was going the other direction."
Smurfing is a felony, and a statewide database enables pharmacies to track the purchases of pseudoephedrine. The purchase limit in Alabama is 7.5 grams per month.
"The demand side of it is up to the community, the public,{}schools, churches and{}the parents to stop the demand," added Sheriff Curry. "Our job is to work on the supply side, and this law has done a good job of helping us do that."

Smith's predictions: Bring tissues, folks — plenty of heartbreak to be had during NCAA Tournament
There will be heartbreak.
Not the usual kind — that end-of-season malaise that washes over players, coaches and fans when the music's over at the Big Dance.
Instead, it will be heart-wrenching, as teams with long winning streaks face the inevitable; the answers they believed to have figured out over the course of the season shown to be illusory.
Behind former national champion Danny Manning, Conference-USA champion Tulsa has found it way, winners of 11 straight. Defending national champ Louisville has rekindled the fire from a year ago, winning 12 of its last 13. Virginia has topped that, taking 16 of 17 games to claim the ACC regular-season and tournament crowns.
Overall No. 1 Florida became the first school to be perfect (18-0) through SEC play, part of a current 26-game streak.
Stephen F. Austin is on a 28-game tear, with its last loss before Thanksgiving.
And Wichita State, a season after making the Final Four, has rolled through its schedule unscathed, the first team since UNLV in 1991 to enter the NCAA Tournament unbeaten.
Losses for at least five of those teams are coming soon. Heartbreak is upon us. Bring tissues.
Early Rounds
Here are two wildly different readings of No. 11 and No. 12-seed first-round games. 1) After sandwiching four mid-major teams in the first round, the selection committee decided that power conferences should have to play their way in to the Round of 64. 2) The committee can't poke mid-majors in the eye because there aren't any in the tournament. BYU (West Coast) is the only non-major conference to get an at-large bid. Along with Green Bay, Southern Miss and Louisiana Tech, I side with the second argument.
Power-conference teams coming out of first-round games are dangerous, so I'll take Tennessee and North Carolina State to continue on. Both had impressive performances in their respective conference tournaments: Tennessee led for nearly 20 minutes against No. 1 Florida before falling in a 56-49 SEC semifinal loss. N.C. State beat Syracuse in the ACC quarterfinals, and challenged Duke enough in a semifinal that Mike Krzyzewski lobbied for an at-large berth for the Wolfpack in post-game interviews.
Tough draws
The argument against Wichita State's No. 1 seed was that the Shockers hadn't played enough quality. Either the selection committee was listening or it hates south-central Kansas. Wichita State was put in a brutal region — possibly needing to beat 2013 champ Louisville, 2012 champ Kentucky and 2010 champ Duke to get back to the Final Four. AAC regular-season co-champion Cincinnati received the toughest game of any seed 5 or higher: No. 12 Harvard, a well-coached team that beat No. 3-seed New Mexico in 2013.
Second/third rounds
Marcus Smart returned to Oklahoma State, in part, because of the Cowboys' one-and-done last year, losing to 12-seed Oregon in the Round of 64. This year's second-round game won't be much easier; Gonzaga won't be wowed by OSU's athleticism, with a nice inside/outside combo between senior C Sam Dower and junior G Kevin Pangos. Ohio State and Dayton — just 75 miles apart — will square off the just the second time in 26 years. Dayton's leading scorer, Jordan Sibert, is an Ohio State transfer.
While the East's and West's top seeds look vulnerable for upsets, the South and Midwest brackets are chock-full of college basketball's best programs. Florida's Sweet 16 matchup against UCLA might be its toughest game of the tournament; UCLA sophomore guard Kyle Anderson, a long 6-9 guard who's a 48 percent 3-point shooter, is a terrible matchup for anyone. The state of Kentucky might shut down for a Sweet 16 meeting between the Wildcats and the Cardinals. Many of the hottest teams coming out of conference tournaments made my projected Elite Eight field: notably Florida, Michigan State and Louisville. How the selection committee watched Michigan State's Adreian Payne steamroll a talented Michigan in the Big Ten final (18 points, nine rebounds), and Louisville's Montrezl Harrell and Russ Smith do the same to UConn, and not move either team up to a third seed is a mystery to me.
Final Four
Bringing traditional powers like Duke, Michigan State and Florida would be a boon for the NCAA and Arlington. The storylines would be deep. Jabari Parker could solidify the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft by leading the Blue Devils to a title. Tom Izzo would be back for his seventh Final Four — with only one ring. Florida coach Billy Donovan would be shooting for his third championship, trying to join Jim Calhoun and Bobby Knight as three-time winners. San Diego State's Xavier Thames would finally get the spotlight he deserves. In the end, Florida's balance — with guards Scottie Wilbekin and Michael Frazier II, forward Casey Prather and center Patric Young — is just too good.

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Maryland finds a significant increase in support for same-sex marriage among African American voters following President Obama's historic announcement two weeks ago. The referendum to keep the state's new law legalizing same-sex marriage now appears likely to pass by a healthy margin. Here are some key findings:
-57% of Maryland voters say they're likely to vote for the new marriage law this fall, compared to only 37% who are opposed. That 20 point margin of passage represents a 12 point shift from an identical PPP survey in early March, which found it ahead by a closer 52/44 margin.
-The movement over the last two months can be explained almost entirely by a major shift in opinion about same-sex marriage among black voters. Previously 56% said they would vote against the new law with only 39% planning to uphold it. Those numbers have now almost completely flipped, with 55% of African Americans planning to vote for the law and only 36% now opposed.
While the media has been focused on what impact President Obama's announcement will have on his own reelection prospects, the more important fallout may be the impact his position is having on public opinion about same-sex marriage itself.
Maryland voters were already prepared to support marriage equality at the polls this fall even before President Obama's announcement. But now it appears that passage will come by a much stronger margin.

Fishing Cake For A Little Boy..
Decorating By princesscatt Updated 9 Apr 2010 , 5:50pm by chefbarbie0513
i was asked by a dear friend to do a cake for her nephew. He loves to fish. So I was going to to a sheet cake with some water and sand and have him in a little boat fishing but I wanted to do something funny and cute...I'm at a loss right now for ideas. They are a funny family so they are open to anything. Any ideas?
How about an outhouse with a fish walking in and on the end of his line a toilet?
I did a fish for Fathers day last year. I googled fishing color pages. Lots of ideas come up. I then did mine as a FBCT. It was great. There are alot of ideas on the internet. Also you could google fish clip art, Cartoon fish, funny fish. Things like that will pull up lots of pictures. HTH
