Crocosmia is a small genus of exotic summer bloomers that produce sprays of star-shaped red flowers. The Iris-like flowers are quite showy and make an excellent show in fresh floral arrangements. Crocosmia have both evergreen and deciduous species that tend to form large clumps, and bear long and thin leaves. Orange-red flowers are borne on long stalks that last several days and attract bees, butterflies and humming birds.
Crocosmia is an excellent choice for landscapes and rock gardens where they can be grown to fill empty spaces with their foliage and flowers. The delicate and bright flowers of Crocosmia can be easily distinguished from other plants because of their orange-red flowers that appear on long, delicate racemes.
How to Grow Crocosmia
Crocosmia is quite easy to propagate from small corms. These beautiful flowering plants prefer partial sunlight (away from scorching summer sun), moderate watering and a well-drained soil, rich soil. Popular species of Crocosmia include: Crocosmia Masonorum (Golden Swan) and Crocosmia Aurea (Falling Stars)

Acoustic Neuroma Surgery
Expected ResultsThe expected results of surgery for acoustic neuroma will depend on the location and size of the tumor, as well as the extent of the hearing loss and other symptoms that were present prior to surgery.
If the tumor is small, hearing may be saved and accompanying acoustic neuroma symptoms may improve. As the tumor grows larger, surgical removal is more complicated because the tumor may have damaged the nerves that control facial movement, hearing, and balance -- and may also have affected other nerves and structures of the brain.
The removal of tumors affecting the hearing, balance, or facial nerves can make the patient's symptoms worse because sections of these nerves may also need to be removed with the tumor.
Because individual situations can vary, if you have any questions about your expected results, you and your doctor can discuss them. It is important that your expectations match your doctor's for any type of surgery.
Possible Complications of Acoustic Neuroma SurgeryNo procedure is ever completely free of risks. However, surgery for acoustic neuroma has been performed for many years with successful results and limited complications.
That being said, complications can happen during this procedure. In most cases, minor complications are temporary and are often easily treated by your healthcare providers.
Minor complications of acoustic neuroma surgery can include but are not limited to:
- Infection
- Nausea and vomiting
- Minor bleeding
- Allergic skin reaction
- Skin numbness
- Painful or abnormal scar formation.
Your overall health will play a role in your likelihood of developing major complications. For example, people with severe heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, or kidney disease may have a higher chance of complications occurring than those that are healthier.
Depending on the individual situation, a major complication may lead to a longer hospital stay, a blood transfusion, a repeat surgery, or, in rare cases, permanent disability or even loss of life. Your specific risk for major complications may be higher or lower. Therefore, it is important that you discuss this with your doctor.
Major complications of acoustic neuroma surgery can include but are not limited to:
- Loss of hearing
- Headaches
- Nerve, spinal cord, or brain damage
- Weakness or paralysis of the muscles of the face
- Eye problems, such as blurred vision, dryness, excessive tearing, and corneal abrasions
- Blood clots
- Embolism
- Stroke
- Infection
- Major bleeding due to blood vessel injury
- Swelling of the brain (hydrocephalus)
- Return of the acoustic neuroma tumor
- Other rare or unlikely events.
It may be that in your doctor's practice, few of these complications have happened -- or have occurred rarely. However, it's important for you to know and understand all of the possible complications so that you are fully informed before your procedure. It is also important to realize that even in the best surgical hands, complications do occur and they do not always imply that something went wrong during your surgery.

The Fashion Style That's Right for Your Body Type
Thursday, March 15, 2012
Women have different body types and because of this, women require a different fashion style for each type. Sometimes it could be quite daunting to go shopping and not really know what clothes are best for you. Below are tips for you to follow about the best kind of clothes that's right for your body type. Petite women are those with heights up to 5 feet 4 inches. If you're in this category, the best strategy for you is to find clothes that would elongate your whole frame. As much as possible, you have to try to stick to using one color or at least clothes with the same hue from top to bottom. This would help make you appear taller. Also shop at petite sections, because wearing clothes that are too long or too big for you will make you appear shorter and smaller than you are. Having clothes that fit will is one of the most important things to remember when choosing a fashion style. And of course, as you need to look taller, wearing heels is never a bad idea. For tall and slim women, it is a good idea to make sure you don't wear pants that are too short for you. It makes you look bigger than you really are. Also, being tall and slim, creating curves is one of your goals. Wearing blouses with ruffles and frills will produce an illusion of a curvier body. Your top should be just at the level of the waist and you should wear jackets to break off the length of the body. You should also go for belts, particularly colorful ones to emphasize your waistline and give you an hourglass shape. And try not to wear V-necks as they tend to elongate the body. For women who are plus-sized, it is important to remember that the clothes you wear should be just the right fit. Wearing clothes that are too loose will make you look even bigger, and wearing clothes that are too tight will emphasize the "bulges" that you don't want to direct attention to. Straight leg jeans are great as they make your legs longer and slimmer. Your top should not be too long. It should just be below your waistline. Also, V-necks or scoop tops help elongate the body, giving it a slimmer look. When looking for a fashion style that is good for you, you must always consider the different factors that can affect the way your clothes will look on you. Of course you must always dress for comfort, but you should aim to dress for confidence as well.

Rate Fears Pierce Techs, Blue Chips, Bonds Gain
In an ugly start to the millennium, stocks took their worst drop in more than a year, as a darkening interest-rate picture and tax related-selling interrupted the blissful conditions behind December's rally.
The sell-off was hardest on the Nasdaq Composite Index. It plunged a record 229.46 points to 3901.69, and its 5.55% drop was its eighth worst ever. But it pales next to last year's 85.6% rise.

Hi, I am LAura
" Our apartment is available for you in Ibiza, Spain ".
- Iha! I'm Laura, born and raised in Italy- actually moving around the globe, generally with my cat!
- I'm a body piercer. In love with human body, we adorn and beautify humans and it is good as it sounds! Since i've been to Thailand i started juggling , got closer to staff and a beginning of fire spinning- this is connecting me with LOADS of good souls, l o v e i t ! Everything that turns around humans skills and circus (no animals!) is truly awesome for me.
- Once i started travelling i just discovered how big curiosity can become in our bodies and minds. We should never lose it along the way, for our own good and mental progress. The experiences you can go through killing your daily routine are immense!
Personal Message
Ahm.. this sounds awkward to me. Let's say that i'm a well organized person, probably because i need to be quite precise while i'm working as well! even more with stuff that is not mine- your house, double care! And in this life you just need to be respectful because traveling is an immense reality and meet new humans make people feel good. The best way to get closer to local people, culture and traditions is to stick with them or in this case live an experience in their house! Don't know if this can sound serious or wha, but anyway whenever i'm gonna have a stable place where to guest you reader, you're gonna be more than welcome in my place! Uh yep, i LOVE animals and you should do that too! Sabaidee!

Boy was I surprised when I pulled into the stable this morning, intending only to saddle up my trusty steed, Chubby, for a morning ride through the snowy woods (for a story about how I came to own Chubby, see "A Horse Of My Own"). Instead, I saw horses and people gathered in the barnyard around a small wooden table on which sat a gorgeous three-layer cake, complete with carrots sticking out of the frosting like so many candles. As I emerged from my car, horse owner and fellow boarder at Baltimore County's Gaitaway Stables (www.gaitawaystables.com), Carrie Cross, exclaimed with delight that it was her horse's birthday. Midnight, a beautiful black quarter horse, was turning 13. Carrie beckoned me to join the festivities.
Far be it for me to miss out on any opportunity for a party, so I joined the group around the table: Carrie, her mother, Terri, who baked the cake, Carrie's daughters Hailey and Emily, along with their little friend, Alexis, plus Carrie's good friend, Emily, the stable owner, Trina, and Trina's full time staffer, Liz. We stood huddled in the cold and watched intently as Midnight sniffed at her confection.
|Everyone gathers for Midnight's
birthday party
Midnight, whom Carrie purchased on Craig's list a little more than a year ago, was an abused and neglected animal when she came into Carrie's possession. Now, awash in pink and purple accessories (even the water bucket in her stall is pink), Midnight is living the life of Riley. She has put on weight, regained her health, and is slathered with affection on a regular basis by Carrie and her daughters.
|Carrie slices Midnight's cake
Carrie drew a silver carving knife and carefully cut a large slice of cake. She held it out to Midnight. Cameras and cell phones popped like so many paparazzi. Alas, the mare's taste apparently does not include cream-cheese frosting. Midnight would not have anything to do with her birthday cake. After multiple tries, Carrie reluctantly concluded that Midnight simply was not going to participate, carrot cake or not. The rest of the farm's mares, all hanging their heads over a fence nearby, were another story, however. Carrie offered the piece of cake to Tennessee Walking horse, Lulu, and her filly, Lily. Both mares eagerly took the chunks from Carrie's outstretched hand. They seemed to relish the morsels. Nearby, Emily fed carrots to her thoroughbred mare, Jazzy.
|Carrie tempts Midnight with carrot cake
Carrie sliced the rest of the cake and handed a piece to each of us. Carrot cake is one of my all-time favorite flavors and this cake was absolutely delicious, a recipe, Terri said, which has been passed down through generations in her family.
|Emily plants a smooch on Jazzy
It made quite a picture, the bunch of us, standing around a small, wooden table, eating carrot cake outdoors in the dead of winter, singing happy birthday to a horse. Consider that the temperature outside was only 25-degrees Fahrenheit and snow threatened at any moment.
Horse lovers would understand.

Nuedexta Side Effects
Contact your healthcare provider right away if you are taking Nuedexta and develop potentially serious problems, such as seizures, loss of vision or hearing, or difficulty breathing. In most cases, however, people tolerate the medication quite well and any problems that occur are typically easy to treat. Common side effects of Nuedexta include diarrhea, dizziness, and coughing.
An Introduction to Nuedexta Side EffectsJust like any medicine, Nuedexta™ (dextromethorphan and quinidine) can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes the medication will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Nuedexta. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Common Side Effects of NuedextaNuedexta has been studied extensively in clinical trials. In these studies, one group of people received the real medication, while another group was given a placebo (a "sugar pill" that does not contain any active ingredients). As a result, it was possible to see what side effects occurred, how often they appeared, and how they compared to the placebo.
In these studies, the most commonly reported Nuedexta side effects included:
- Diarrhea -- in up to 13 percent of people
- Dizziness -- up to 10 percent
- Coughing -- up to 5 percent
- Vomiting -- up to 5 percent
- Weakness -- up to 5 percent
- Swelling of the legs, ankles, or feet -- up to 5 percent
- Urinary tract infection (UTI) -- up to 4 percent
- Flu -- up to 4 percent
- Elevated liver enzymes -- up to 3 percent
- Gassiness -- up to 3 percent.

You can exchange/breed 2 pets together to obtain a new pet with a chance of it being a higher tier than the parents. However, in doing so, those 2 parents will be destroyed which means you will no longer have these pets (once this happens the support team will not restore or undo the breeding of any lost pets as this process is a permanent action).
This is currently the only way to increase the Tier of your pet.
Important to note:
- Breeding pets will destroy the parents, so you will only keep the newly made pet and not the 2 previous ones.
- Unlike horses, a pet can only breed once and cannot be reset. It can be compared to Horse Exchanging instead of Horse Breeding.
- You can not undo an exchange/breeding.
- The Tier of the new pet is decided randomly and there is no guarantee that your new pet will have a higher Tier than the parents.
- You can not exchange pets that are more than 1 Tier apart. For example, you can exchange a Tier 1 pet with a Tier 2 pet, but not a Tier 1 pet with a Tier 3 pet.
- Your pet's special command (ex. Resource detect) may change after exchanging. So it is possible that a cat will get the 'Hostile Player Detect' command for example, which is normally a dog's special command.
- You can only breed pets that have the 'same species' tag. You can see these tags marked in red on the pets Item Information section on the Pearl Store.
An example of two pets that are unable to breed are shown below:
The Scarlet Macaw will only breed with other members of the 'Scarlet Macaw' species and as an example, will not breed with any member of the Hawk species.
Pet Breeding Guide
To open the Pet Exchange window, open your Pet List first and press the "Exchange" button at the bottom:
This will open the Pet Exchange window:
To add a pet, press the button next to your pet on the Pet List:
- Here you can select which appearance of the two pets you definitely want to keep, and which of the two pet's skills you want to keep. You can do so by ticking the according checkboxes below each pet.
- Or you can choose to not keep any appearance/skills with the buttons "Not transfer appearance" and "Not transfer skill". Doing so will give you a random appearance and random skills.
This window shows you what your new pet will be like. In my above example, I'm getting a random appearance and keeping my fishing buff skills.
After you press confirm, you'll get a brand new pet!

Priced each, if ordering a pair please choose Qty 2
The blue pied diamond displays the blue color pattern, with white feathers mixed in. The white feathers usually occur on the head, neck and breast, but can occur anywhere on the body.
Blue pied diamonds are usually brown on the back, shoulders, wings and tail. The head, neck and breast are white and brown mixed together. The white markings form a distinctive pattern that is rarely duplicated exactly in any other bird. The eye is ruby red, with a bright red eye ring. The underside is white. The beak is black.
The wing displays mahogany colored primary flight feathers, with black tips. Sometimes, in well marked birds, the primary flight feathers are white. They are ground feeders and will do well in an aviary with finches. Try to provide canary nests, as they make an untidy nest. Both parents incubate; eggs should hatch in about 13 days.
Length: 8" Lifespan 8-12 years
One year or younger, not banded or mated.

CHERRY VALLEY, AR (KAIT)- A local clinic is seeing an increase in patients after opening their doors three years ago.
ARCare in Cherry Valley is located on the Cross County School District campus and while a quarter of their patients are students, they are also filling a great need in the community.
"We had a lady that came to the food pantry that fell and she had a big knot on her when she came in," said Joan Ball, director of the Cherry Valley Food Pantry.
Joan Ball with the Cherry Valley food pantry suggested she see a doctor. "She said well I can't afford it and she came back the next week and it really looked bad that day and we were all real concerned about her."
Ball said the woman was on Medicare but did not have enough money to pay the difference.
And then the unimaginable happened.
"In a few days she passed away because she had a blot clot that went to her brain," Ball said. "We felt like we could have done more but we don't have any place here to take anybody."
That's when Ball started calling local doctors to see if they could come to Cherry Valley once a week. Soon the superintendent at the Cross County School District answered her call. The school volunteered to put the clinic on their land.
"On average, I would say we see around 300 to 320 [patients] a month," said ARCare Regional Director, Chris Gibson.
A 15 percent growth from last year and a 50 percent increase since they opened their doors 3 years ago.
Gibson said this clinic fills such a big need in the community.
"There are no providers within Cherry Valley and it was just an under served market," he said.
There are currently 32 ARCare clinics in Northeast Arkansas. These clinics bill patients based off their income.

Minecraft 1.2
Subject: Minecraft 1.2
Sat Jan 28, 2012 1:48 pm
Minecraft 1.2 hasnt been announced yet but there have been two weekly snapshots (pre-releases) added. This is what has been added over these two snapshots:
Quote :
-Ladders regained their collision box
-Vines are climbable if you push into a solid block while next to them
-Added jungle biome (requires a new world) with ferns and new wood and leaf types
-Updated language files
-Dispensers dispensing Spawn Eggs will place Mobs instead of simply dispensing the eggs
-Spawn eggs are now stackable
-Zombies have new path-finding AI
-Wolves have new AI and can be bred by using Chicken (Raw or Cooked), Porkchops (Raw or Cooked), Steak/Beef, and Rotten Flesh when tamed
-New jungle-specific Ocelot mob that can be tamed with Raw Fish into Cats.
-Mobs in general have new a AI with new and improved behaviors.
-Skeletons and Zombies burning from sunlight will flee to darkness, jump in water, or get onto any non-full-height block.
-Mobs no longer attempt to jump over fences.
-New Items:
-Fire Charge
-Jungle Sapling
-Bottle o' Enchanting (Creative Mode)
-Spawn Ocelot (Creative Mode)
-Changed Dispenser and Oak Sapling textures.
-Added Desert Wells, which are newly generated structures.
-Players are slowed when going through Vines due to their nature of being a collisionless ladder.
Rather than commenting on each new item, I'm going to write about my experience with the new snapshot.
Welcome to the new Jungle Biome. It took me two single player maps to actually find one, but here I am on top of one of these gigantic trees.
You might be wondering how I got up here. Vines now give you the ability to climb up them if there is a solid block behind them. Using vines and by cutting through a few leaves, I was able to reach the top.
If you were wondering what it looks like below, it is basically an overgrown jungle, just like you would imagine.
Once in a while you might find a cow stuck in the bushes on the floor.
After spending one night in a dark cave, looking for coal and finding none, then finding a dungeon and making a home out of it. I went searching for the new creature that was apparently tamable. It took me forever to find this thing. According to the Minecraft Wiki, they are called ocelots and if you tame them, they turn into household cats (which is stupid in my opinion). They seem to fall into the bushes and dont make any noise at the moment, so they are really hard to find.
I'm an idiot. If you look at the picture, I'm trying to tame it with a bone. After finding out it didn't work, I realized there must be another item. According to the minecraft wiki, that item is raw fish. I end up killing this ocelot to see if it drops anything, but it doesn't. I cant actually find another, so i make a creative map and spawn one in. Apparently they run away if you are not crouching and sneaking up on them. I never actually was able to tame one, even after catching it in a corner.
After giving up with the ocelot, I found a well in the desert. I expected more of a town but it was just a well. (This was before I read the patch notes)
I also did a little testing with the new tree saplings. If you place one, it creates a tree just like a birch sapling, always the same size, except sometimes it can be a little taller. If you place four saplings next to each other and use bonemeal on one sapling, it will create a giant tree.
Might add more later if i have time.

The new AI is the best addition to the game in awhile
The survival part of the game was just annoying, after the first night theres no point in playing survival because the survival game just turned into creative with resource collecting while some monsters mildly poked at you or griefed part of your building
Once they work out the bugs it should actually be like survival (especially with hardcore mode)
The jungle biome is nice, as are vines
I said vines should be climbable back when they were first introduced
I like how they ended up implementing it, you cant climb up vines unless theres a block supporting it, but you can climb down them without the need for a block
The dispensers being able to spawn monsters is good, its about time they added something that can be used with redstone (the last time was pistons, and that was basically a copy and paste of a mod that already existed)
The cats are just stupid
They change species when you tame them, which is just weird
I can accept floating trees/land, infinite water, wheat acting as the most powerful animal aphrodisiac in the world, and even the key to hell being a piece of flint and a bit of steel
But when cats change species after eating fish, thats where i draw the line
Also they dont do anything useful, they rarely attack enemies and when they do its usually a creeper

I noticed the new AI when i tried to lure the skeletons out of their dungeon into the sunlight, they didn't seem to want to come out. If they are in the light during the day, they run into the water or into some shade, I haven't seen it personally yet.

The jungle biome is nice, as are vines
I said vines should be climbable back when they were first introduced
I like how they ended up implementing it, you cant climb up vines unless theres a block supporting it, but you can climb down them without the need for a block
The jungle biome is my favorite addition. I have wanted to make a real treehouse for a long time. The abundance of huge trees makes this very possible.

The dispensers being able to spawn monsters is good, its about time they added something that can be used with redstone (the last time was pistons, and that was basically a copy and paste of a mod that already existed)
This could lead to some good traps and adventure maps, however, there is no way to get the spawn eggs in survival mode so it is almost useless except for on a server where some players can be in creative, and some players can be in survival.

The cats are just stupid
They change species when you tame them, which is just weird
I can accept floating trees/land, infinite water, wheat acting as the most powerful animal aphrodisiac in the world, and even the key to hell being a piece of flint and a bit of steel
But when cats change species after eating fish, thats where i draw the line
Also they dont do anything useful, they rarely attack enemies and when they do its usually a creeper
The cats do suck, they only attack chickens. Its like you have your average household cats following you around. They are a pain in the ass to catch too. Its not the fact that they change that bothers me. I guess I just haven't been a huge fan of taming in general

-Lava sounds now function.
-Many mob-related bug fixes (and some new behaviors).
-Ocelots are easier to tame, and Cats can be told to sit.
-Many small bug fixes and tweaks.
-Villagers will try to detect village houses and live in them.
-Updated language files (now with 50% less profanities!)
-Removed some offensive translation text.
-If your home bed is missing/obstructed while you are on Canadian English, it will say "Sorry, -your home bed is missing or obstructed, eh?"
-Creepers run away from cats.
-Creepers now have new AI - they stalk the player.
-Abandoned mineshafts now bridge over ravines[4]
-Enchantment tables no longer require experience in creative mode
-All previous crafting recipes that would give off 4 of the finished product was reduced to 2. (Ex. -It now takes 2 wood blocks to give you 4 wooden planks)
Cats actually have a function now! They are still completely stupid but a good way to keep those creepers away. And apparently creepers stalk? (i thought they already did this)
There are some glitches with the villagers opening doors and entering a house, but its a step in the right direction. I want to see villagers pose more of a purpose.
Mark would like the language update for Canadian english.
What is this about taking 2 blocks of wood to make 4 wooden planks? Thats just stupid. Makes it so much harder to get started. Does that mean it take four planks to make four wooden sticks? I havent tested the new snapshot yet so idk.

All enemy mobs (except endermen) had the same "AI" before this update, and it was basically just a simple "if then else" check
They just ran in a straight line up to the player (regardless of what was in the way) once the player came within a certain range of the mob (or when the mob came within a certain range of the player)
Endermen "AI" was slightly modified, instead of a range around the mob enderman are based on player line of sight, and instead of running up it teleported behind the player to within range and then ran up to the player in a straight line (regardless of what was in the way)
This update gives some mobs actual AI
The creepers now wont just ran at you once your in range, instead they will follow you, "stalk" implies that it will try to stay out of player line of sight (probably will try to stay behind the player), and will come at you and explode once the AI says it has a good chance of getting to the player and blowing up based on the pathing
I havent actually seen it though

I think its a glitch with crafting, sometimes when you shift click you dont get all the stuff your supposed to, and it also uses more materials then its supposed to, like if you make a 2x2 square of wood with 5 wood (2 in 1 of the spots) to make a crafting table all 5 wood is used
Hopefully they arent making it so you need 2 coal to make 4 torches, stuff like that doesnt make it harder, it just needlessly pads the game out and prolongs you from doing what you really want to do without adding any actual challenge
Subject: Re: Minecraft 1.2
Fri Feb 03, 2012 4:40 pm
So i tried the newer snapshot
Creepers dont stalk at all, or at least not how i described it
From what i can tell they work exactly the same as they always have (other then being afraid of cats)
The recipes are still the same (1 log makes 4 wood, 2 wood makes 4 sticks, etc)
I havent run into the glitch where it incorrectly uses the amount of materials
Jungle biomes freeze up my game when im playing with fancy graphics
Its the leaves, when theres 1000s of leaf blocks being rendered my game cant handle it and starts to freeze up every few seconds
I hate the way leaves look on fast graphics, so im going to have to figure out a way to fix that

I played the snapshot some more and creepers do act differently
If you manage to out run them it will stop chasing you and just start staring at you, no matter where you go until you get near it again
They do the same thing when your inside
Its pretty creepy at first to see them constantly looking at you from a distance or from outside your windows
Also trying to survive on the flat world type is really fun and challenging
Put it on hardcore survival with the world type of super flat
You got to find a village and scavenge materials from there while constantly dealing with slimes
Since you can starve to death on hardcore mode you have to secure the wheat farm first
The slimes got to be so much that i ended up making a tunnel system under the npc village and blocking all the doors
The npcs kept opening the doors and letting slimes in, so i had to block the doors
Once an npc let a creeper in and it blew a hole in the side of my house, the explosion left me with 2 hearts, and then slimes and zombies flooded in, had to build a dirt pillar and escape through the roof
I ended up dieing when i was collecting dirt, i dug into 1 of the gravel roads, the 1 piece of gravel fell and a creeper happened to be on the exact block and exploded

The lighting in the newest snapshot is screwed up for me
The only light that works is the sun
In the daytime its bright everywhere, even in caves that have no connection to the outside, when the sun sets the inside of caves get darker as if they were exposed to the sky
Looking at the water from above during the day you can clearly see the bottom as if the water has no effect on the lighting like it normally does
It even effects the world generator, wild grass is generated on underground dirt blocks where there should be no light at all
Mobs wont spawn in caves during the day either
Torches provide light at night but wont stop mobs from spawning, it thinks it should be dark as if the torch isnt there
I cant figure out how to fix it
I have a bunch of mods installed for 1.1, including some shader mods, but it shouldnt be effecting a new jar, it never has before

Wed Feb 22, 2012 5:26 pm
I havent updated to the new snapshot yet. The higher world seems cool but Im gonna wait for some of the bugs to be fixed in the next snapshot. Actually, I dont think there is a new snapshot this week, the one you have is a week old i think.
Subject: Re: Minecraft 1.2
Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:11 pm
Im talking about the new one, 12w08a, the one that changes the lighting, adds upside down stairs and iron golems
Whatever lighting changes they made messed up my stuff some how, played it a bit today and still cant fix it
I think this one was supposed to fix a bug with the lighting in the last snapshot, but i didnt have that bug so the fix caused something weird to happen
If you're wondering how i got it earlier than it was even announced (i didnt know it wasnt announced until today), you can get next weeks snapshot here:
Just wait about a week and it should exist

Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:10 pm
Unfortunately that link will never work, this weeks snapshot is a preview of 1.2, which will be released tomorrow. If you want it 1 day early here you go:
A full change log will be released tomorrow on mojang's website. You can always get a change log for each update on the minecraft wiki.
This update will include everything added in the past few snapshots.
Also in minecraft news, the four main developers of bukkit will be working on updating the official minecraft server to "bring you the same flexibility and versatility to the official Minecraft server."
Subject: Re: Minecraft 1.2
Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:25 pm
any idea if that means that the official server will slowly be replacing bukkit?
Subject: Re: Minecraft 1.2
Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:51 pm
Quote :
Now that we have an opportunity to design the official Minecraft API, we intend to make it a suitable replacement for Bukkit, if not a significantly better one, while bukkit.org will remain a community for modders for the foreseeable future.
I got that quote from this article on the bukkit website:
This is what Mojang released on the matter:
The bukkit article is long and gives a history of how it got to this point (I didnt read it all). Near the bottom is the announcement where i got the quote from above. I would imagine it will take a while to catch the official server up to the capabilities of bukkit. Chances are they will update bukkit for 1.2 while they work on the official server for the next release.

Press Releases
Paknampo Nakhonsawan Becomes First Hospital in Thailand to Achieve HIMSS Analytics EMRAM Stage 6
Nakhonsawan, 21 March 2016 – HIMSS Analytics Asia Pacific announced today that Paknampo Hospital has achieved HIMSS EMRAM Stage 6. The EMRAM award is an international benchmark for the use of advanced IT to improve patient care. This award makes Paknampo the first hospital in Thailand to achieve Stage 6.
HIMSS Analytics developed the EMR Adoption Model in 2005 as a methodology for evaluating the progress and impact of electronic medical record systems for hospitals in the HIMSS Analytics® Database. Tracking their progress in completing eight stages (0-7), hospitals can review the implementation and utilisation of information technology applications with the intent of reaching Stage 7, which represents an advanced electronic patient record environment. Reaching Stage 6 is a result of focus, good direction and a steadfast commitment from leadership. Stage 6 institutions have established clear goals for improving safety, minimizing errors, and prioritizing IT implementations.
"One of the key success factors in improving clinical outcomes and being the employer of choice lies in how one utilizes the innovative medical technology in the hospital," said Dr. Pongsak Viddayakorn, President, Paknampo Hospital.
With top management buy-in and commitment, these are some of the achievements that Paknampo has attained in its journey to Stage 6:
- Employed the use of mobile medication carts that consist of an integrated laptop computer, a handheld barcode scanner, and individual patient medication drawers that can only be opened once a patient has been scanned and positively identified by bedside system.
- Successfully demonstrated the closed-loop medication administration process from CPOE to second line validation to unit-dose medication dispensing with barcodes, bedside scanning, administration, and eMAR update.
- Implemented a CDS feature for nursing and physician documentation called "Prompt". When a nurse or physician adds a new problem to the problem list and clicks on the "Prompt" function, the system will auto-populate his or her notes with recommended assessments and documentation that are specific to the new problem. The nurse and physician can then click on each new word or phrase to document if the condition, situation, or symptom is present or absent.
- Presented two other clinical decision support rules that are triggered for physicians by either a diagnosis of diabetes or hypertension.
- Nurses have structured documentation templates that allow them to quickly conduct their nursing assessments and capture discrete information.
Dr. Satit Yiddayakorn, Chief of HealthCare Strategy Officer said, "Using technology in the hospital is not a fashion, our purposes are to focus on patient safety, reduce cost, and improve the quality of work life. Our accomplishment in doing so was a result of great collaboration between doctors, nurses, hospital staffs, and IT, who shared the same focuses."
Besides internal support, the hospital also worked closely with IT and convergence systems solution providers who aided in the implementation of the software required for Stage 6 validation.
"Paknampo Hospital has good reason to feel very proud for achieving Stage 6. They began their EMR adoption journey in 2014 and have worked tirelessly to transition from a completely paper-based environment to now being very close to having a paperless environment. They already have their sights set on achieving Stage 7 and given what I observed during this visit, I believe they can do it," said John Daniels, Global Vice President, Healthcare, Advisory Services Group, HIMSS Analytics.
Moving forward, Paknampo Hospital is working towards interfacing a Smart ICU software with HIS by the end of 2016 and hospital-wide full digitization by 2017.
Paknampo Hospital will receive their award at the HIMSS AsiaPac16 Conference and Exhibition, 23 – 26 August, Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand. Visit www.himssasiapacconference.org (English) or www.ehealth.moph.go.th/himss/ (Thai) for more information.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Scrapbooking Layout and other Scrapbook topics.
A signature page is a great idea for any album and can be the second page or the very last page of the book. One idea for this scrapbook page layout is to include a photo of you (perhaps working on the album) and journaling about the reasons behind why you put the album together. Those reasons can be as simple as noticing you had a lot of photos of one particular activity or really special as in the case of a tribute album. When choosing a photo of yourself, you could use one of you working on the album, posing with the album subject or a really nice recent shot. Don't feel modest about doing a signature page. Albums take a lot of work and time and future readers will appreciate the contact with its creator.
I have made several albums for friends and am sorry now I did not put a signature page at the end. What a great idea. Saying why you put the album together and what the friendship means probably would have meant a lot to the other person as well. Thank you for the tip.

One of the best runners in California, Liam Anderson, is starting out as a junior this current Cross Country season. In his first two years, Anderson posted some terrific PRs including 4:11.74 (4th at 2017 California State Track and Field meet) and 9:03.40 (2nd behind Cooper Teare at 2017 NCS MOC meet). At the 2016 California state XC meet, Anderson finished in 2nd place in the Division III race with a time of 15:05.3. His time qualified him for the NXN Nike Cross Nationals as one of the five fastest performers at the state meet. He finished a very impressive 22nd at that meet and started this season as the 9th ranked runner in the entire nation.
1) What sports did you play before high school? Who motivated you to start running?
Before high school, I played baseball and soccer starting around kindergarten. In middle school, after running the mile in P.E, my P.E. teacher (who was also the middle school track/XC coach) encouraged me to join the team. She motivated me to work hard and taught me to love running.
2) Any racing experience before high school? PRs?
In terms of racing experience prior to high school, my middle school cross country season consisted of four or five races each around 2k and during track season I ran the 1200m. Also, each spring some friends and I would race in a sprint distance triathlon, mostly just for fun. The high point of my middle school career was a 4:57 1600m I ran towards the end of 8th grade.
my P.E. teacher (who was also the middle school track/XC coach) encouraged me to join the team. She motivated me to work hard and taught me to love running.
I'd say the highlight of my freshman year cross country season was getting second at NCS, and my track highlight was getting to really improve my strength as the season progressed and learning to push myself.
4) Who were the runners that you looked up to as a freshman that were great mentors for you?
Freshman year, I really looked up to Andy Ehrenbergh who was a senior on my team at the time, who now competes for UCLA.
5) Your sophomore cross country season culminated at NXN after running 15:05.3 at the CA state meet. What was that experience like racing in Portland?
Racing at NXN was a great experience and it was really rewarding to be able to test myself against some of the top runners in the country.
6) You had a terrific sophomore year in track and field this past spring. What do you feel was your best race of the season? Other highlights?
I think my best race this past track season was my 1600 at state-it was hot and I was tired from racing four times in the previous week, but I was content with how I was able to perform against some solid competition. Another highlight from track was my 1600 at the Dublin Distance Fiesta in March. I got spiked 250m into the race and lost a shoe, but still ended up running 4:20.
7) Did you do anything differently this summer as you prepared for your junior year? What races are you most looking forward to this cross country season?
My summer training was no different than previous summers, just more rigorous and intense. I'm looking forward to racing at Woodward Park, both for Clovis and at the state meet, and I'm excited to see what's in store for me after the state meet.
8) Tell us a little about your coaches and how they have helped you develop into the runner you are today.
Laura and Jake Schmitt (Jake was 2004 state XC champ in 2004 with a time of 15:14) are incredible. Their coaching has shaped me into the runner I am today. They've shown me how to work hard, and they've given me all the tools I need to be successful. Day in and day out they've shown me not only how to be a better runner, but how to be a better person.
9) What does a typical training week look like for you? Typical mileage? Morning runs?
We do approximately 40 miles a week, split up between two long runs, two workouts, and regular days. Generally, during school, we run in the afternoon, and on weekends we run first thing in the morning.
Day in and day out they've shown me not only how to be a better runner, but how to be a better person.
10) Favorite cross country invitational? Favorite cross country course? Favorite cross country workout? Favorite long run? Favorite track and field event? Favorite track and field invitational? Favorite track workout? Favorite running opponent? Favorite Redwood XC/TF tradition? Favorite free time activity?
Favorite XC invite: Clovis
Favorite XC course: Woodward Park
Favorite XC workout: 4x 4min easy 4min tempo 4min hard
Favorite track event: Mile
Favorite track invite: Mt. SAC
Favorite track workout: 16x400m
Favorite running opponent: tough to say
Favorite redwood tradition: the obligatory post-race trip to Chipotle
Favorite free time activity: surfing
11) Looking back at your first two high school competitive years, what did you learn that you can share with other young talented runners?
I've learned that if you're willing to put in the work, you'll get the results you want. Running is a very straightforward sport in that all you need to do to place higher is to run faster, and you get there simply by training harder.
Thank you very much for your time, Liam! AJC

Old Buoy Found on Beach Gets New Life as Treasured Gift
Hubby Finds Buoy on Beach
There's nothing I enjoy more than a walk on the beach with my husband, especially since he has cardiac problems that often make it impossible for him to walk with me. Probably because it's an infrequent event that we can walk on the sand together, I've learned to cherish the times he's feeling well enough to join me. On one such walk he found an old, seaweed and shell encrusted buoy lying on the beach and started carrying it. Though it was light it was so dirty that I couldn't imagine what he wanted it for but he insisted on carrying it back to the car where he put it in a plastic garbage bag.
"Aren't you going to clean it first?" I asked, scrunching up my nose. He'd dipped it in the ocean but it was still slimy and crusty.
"No place to do that here. I'll clean it when we get back home." I shrugged because I've learned it's best not to argue with him when he makes his mind up about something even if I think what he wants to do is foolish. I doubted that the buoy would clean up well enough to be put on display and even if he did get it clean it wouldn't be very attractive with the nicks in it.
Birthday Gift From Sis
Same Buoy as Vase
A Buoy Birthday Gift
When we got home he left the buoy out in the shed and said he'd clean it the next day. A few days later, I asked if he'd cleaned it up and he said he'd tried, but had to throw it away because he couldn't get the encrusted sand and seaweed off it without chunks of the buoy falling apart.
Ah, yes, my hubby can keep a secret well even if it requires a small white lie to do so and it was a good thing that on this particular occasion I didn't tease him about lugging that old buoy home just to throw it away. I didn't know it yet but he still had big plans for that buoy. He knew I loved nautical decorations but this one was to be special because we'd found it together on a most romantic walk on the beach.
Months went by and I forgot all about it. On my birthday, my sister handed me a beautifully wrapped gift and when I opened it I saw an intricately hand painted buoy. A nautical boat and nature scene had been lovingly painted by her own hands and she'd even inscribed my last name on the boat. After oohing and ah-hing and giving my sister a great big hug and kiss, hubby asked if I recognized the buoy.
"It can't be that old thing you picked up on our beach walk, can it?"
He laughed. "Sure is. And I have another surprise for you, here open it." Inside was a nautical base that Fred had made for the buoy to sit on. It had 3 round pillars held together with white rope that was tightly wrapped around them. "Oh wow, I really love it," I said, giving him his own big hug and kiss.
I still treasure that buoy and have it on display in our guest room. My sister is a talented artist but that was her first time painting on a buoy. She later told me that Fred had given her a photo as a guide and she'd added more to the scene so that no matter how the buoy was turned there was always something to look at. As you can see, my sister is a talented artist. I, on the other hand, have the painting skills of a 7 year old child, so I'm really in awe of her work.
Hand Painted Craft Buoys
Buoy Project for Non Artists Like Myself
Readers like myself who aren't very artistic can still clean up old buoys or buy small wooden ones at a hobby craft store and paint them solid colors or add stripes to them. One project that my husband and I worked on together hangs in our bathroom. I painted the buoys and he painted and hung the display shelf. We purchased the boat, but some might choose to build their own model boat. If you have kids, you can also let them help you make a buoy display for their room.
Another good use for buoys, especially if you live near the ocean or a lake, is as yard or garden decorations. Add an anchor and wooden boat planter and you can create a nice nautical scene.
Have you ever seen a buoy painted with an intricate nautical scene?
Beachcombing Tips By Hubber Denise Handlon
- Beachcombing Basics: Best Tips for Summer Fun on the Shore
Great hub about beachcombing and finding treasures at the sea, especially if you have young children. Written by my hubber friend, Denise Handlon.
Check Out This Hub for Great Decorating Ideas Using Found Items
- Found Items For Decorating.
Fellow hubber, Moonlake, gives many fabulous suggestions for decorating with found items that have been restored.
What a wonderful story! Gail I didn't know your husband had cardiac problems, I'm so sorry. Your sister painting the buoy brought back fond memories of Eva, she painted different items for me. a statue of a fighting warrior and a beautiful old picture frame I found at a thrift shop, it had beautiful carvings but the paint was peeling and looked ugly, but I saw how beautiful it could be and it was when she finished it. Congratulations for your gold award for this story. Hugs..
My youngest grandson loves buoys and I've purchased several for him as gifts, but NEVER anything as beautiful as yours. What a loving gift from your husband and your sister! This entire hub is full of love and written with the hand of love. Thank you for sharing with us.
Voted up, useful, awesome, and interesting.
Gail, I love your buoys, especially the one Fred hauled home. Your sister is quite talented. I love the colors and the general calm feel your artistic buoy emits. What a clever idea!
Lovely story but more than the story is how I feel when I read it. I can feel the love shine through - you certainly have treasure in abundance and I think it is love shared.
What an awesome treasure to have as a reminder there is always something can be made from what appears to be nothing. Good on hubby for giving it a new life...
Hugs from Canada
very nice
very creative!
What a wonderful gift! Your sister is so talented and your husband so thoughtful! I once found a line of those round buoys mixed with natural sponges on the beach in the Florida Keys and have it hanging in the yard. A wren pecked out a nest hole for itself in the buoy!
Only you could turn trash into art/gifts. It looks awesome! Weather is getting warm, looking forward to more hubs about the beach, maybe deep sea fishing?
Really beautiful. It's nice to have someone that loves you so much that they actually put thought into the gifts that they give you. My husband had a concrete bench inscribed with his vows waiting for me at the altar on the beach in Carmel. It was the most amazing gift I have ever received, mostly because it came from the heart. Thanks for sharing. Voted up, beautiful and more. :)
This story gave me goosebumps Happyboomernurse. What a loving gesture for your husband to give you such a heartfelt gift. The fact that your sister and husband did it together as a team is even cooler. What a B-Day gift-You must have felt so special- Thanks so much for sharing this touching story.
That was inspiring. I like that both your husband and your sister worked together and surprised you with a gift from the heart. voted up all around.
What a nice story. Enjoyed reading your hub.
I enjoyed your story and beach hunt adventure. My husband is always telling me "you can't take that home" when I find a trip's treasure. Reminds him of Lucy/Desi movie "the Long Long Trailer" where she collected rocks! Your writing style is great. I am thinking of trying hubpages as a writer so was reading a few of the stories. I will definitely read more of your stories.
Another great hub. I can tell you are really drawn to the water and beaches! Voted up and beautiful
A great helpful story, that is if I ever move from this rotten desert.
I will definitely look next I'm near an ocean
What a precious gift. That is so sweet. I love the nautical items especially the base for the bouy. May the peace of God keep you and your husband. This is a wonderful story.
What a Beautiful story of LOVE Happyboomenurse. Your Husband sounds like a very Special Man who obviously Loves you very much, and this Treasure he made for you certainly shows that. Such an Enjoyable read and also what a Great Sister you have too...Love the Finished Vase, who'd have thought!
What a beautiful gift of love from both your husband and your sister. Isn't it funny how something that we would just discard as trash can be turned into such a work of beauty? Your husband sounds like he is a wonderful man and your sister is an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.
Beautiful Happyboomernurse and says so much about the person who wrote this.
Here's to many more hubs to share and this one goes up and up.
Take care
A beautiful story and what a wonderful Buoy looks really neat.
God Bless
What a great hub, Gail. I really enjoyed how your sister turned the 'old' buoy into a beautiful object of art that reminded you of your walk on the beach. That is special! Voted up and awesome.
These are always the best gifts, something that has been created with a memory attached. Not only is this recycled buoy useful and beautiful - there is a story that goes with it! Wonderful idea and hub!
Good hub, well written and a unique topic. Voted "Awesome". Completely new idea for me, but I'm not an oceanside dweller. Sounds like you have a great family, too! Best wishes.
What a great find and a great idea. Although, I'm curious as to what part of the country you can still find such things washed up on the beach. All I ever find on the beaches of Southern California are soda bottles and styrofoam. Voting this Up and Beautiful.
What a wonderful story of creativity and love. Those with artist eyes can produce such unique pieces.
You have a treasure in that man of yours. And he is very creative. I love to see items reused and made into a thing of beauty.
Very nice article. Nothing is more wonderful than those great finds on a beach. I love walking along the shores of our Great Lakes here in NY and finding the sea glass that washes ashore. They make wonderful jewelry. I love the pretty painting on your gift.
I'm betting your guy will say he's the lucky one.
Just a guess! :-)
What a great story! Up and awesome.
What a terrific gift and treasured memory of your romantic walk together with your husband on that beach. Your sister's painting of it really made for a beautiful object of art. Thanks for sharing and giving others ideas of decorating tips using buoys.

The Yarmouth County region of Nova Scotia is mostly rural and most families live off minimum wage jobs. As a respiratory therapist, Deanna had the chance to see what happens when an area's youth are bored and lack positive activities. "The hospital is small, so I worked all over, including the emergency room," she notes. Over and over, she saw local teens suffering drug overdoses, having babies or injured in drunken-driving car wrecks. When one 16-year-old died at the hospital after such an accident, Deanna realized she recognized him – and his grief-stricken father. The way the father searched Deanna's face for a glimmer of hope for his son's recovery was the most painful thing she'd ever seen. To offer hope to other families, Deanna decided to offer hip-hop dancing lessons as an activity that would appeal to teens – and then ask them to pledge not to drink or use drugs if they wanted to continue. Deanna now puts in 70 hours a week to run Kidzact and has retired from her respiratory therapy career to devote herself full-time to volunteering.
Deanna founded Kidzact, short for "Kids Take Action," where, for the past 13 years, she's held fast to the concept. Deanna started with hip-hop dance lessons for teens, and expanded her classes to younger students, finding that "those who enter as preschoolers tend to stay". As students' progress, they're taught to be mentors and assistant instructors to younger students. Today, kids can start as young as 3, and can opt for ballet and gymnastics, in addition to hip-hop. Kidzact has opened the world of dance to hundreds of teens in southwestern Nova Scotia. Some have won awards in competitions and even gone on to dance schools. An unexpected impact of the Kidzact studio has been the way it brings kids of different backgrounds together. "When you have a doctor's child and a child from a low-income family in the same room, they don't treat each other differently," Deanna has observed.

You may remember this little exercise I dida while ago. I started purtying up my favorite head from then, and it's stretched beyond the restrictions of a speed painting. So here's my pic of The Tick.
Now I like it enough that, sigh, I'm going to burn even more time getting it really polished. Justice never sleeps!
Also, a quick interesting side note, I think it's fascinating how learning the technology behind something makes you a better artist, because then you draw the stuff you understand on a technical 3D level. I remember distinctly when I learned about Ambient Occlusion, and afterward tried like crazy to draw it in everywhere.
Similarly, nowadays I know a lot more about subsurface scattering. As a result, I tried to bring it out in this. All I did was brush in extra saturation on the transition from light into core shadow. It's easiest to spot on his cheeks. I'll have to play with that more.
