During the 2012 field season of the Deep Reef Observation Project (DROP) in Curaçao, Smithsonian scientists collected many specimens with the help of the Curasub. Prospective new species were caught on almost every dive as the scientists explored the biodiversity of the mid- and deep-sea ecosystems.
This amazing sea toad, Chaunax sp., has modified pectoral fins it uses to walk along the bottom.
Barry Brown/Substation Curacao
This purple urchin Paleopneustes cristatus is seldom seen by itself, and can be found in groups of hundreds. Dr. Dave Pawson, a senior scientist at NMNH who studies deep-sea echinoderms, is testing if the fertilized eggs of this urchin sink or are buoyant, an important question in figuring out this urchin's life cycle. This urchin specimen was collected at around 800 feet during the 2012 field season of the Deep Reef Observation Project (DROP).
Trish Mace, Smithsonian Institution
This is an unidentified moray eel, collected from 650 feet off the coast of Curacao. Researchers don't yet know if this is a young eel, or a small full-grown one. By analyzing this moray's DNA and comparing it to DNA from known morays in the Caribbean, they will determine if this small eel is a juvenile of a known species.
When this tusk shell was brought up from a dive it was a surprise when a hermit crab poked out. The large claw that you see can be pulled in to cover the shell opening.
It's an honor to have something or someone named after you. Dr. David Pawson, Senior Research Scientist and Curator of Echinoderms at NMNH, has several genera and species, living and fossil, named after him. He says this little sea star, Pawsonaster parvus, is by far the prettiest! It is a small pentagonal species, little more than an inch across (hence the species name parvus, from Latin for "small"), orange on top and whitish underneath. It lives in depths of 30-600 meters, and it is known to live from the coast of North Carolina, through the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, to Uruguay in South America.
Some sea cucumbers, including this species collected at 830 feet deep off Curacao, host a slender, eel-shaped fish called a pearl fish, which lives in its anus by day and emerges to feed at night. You might not be able to see it now, but...
...out it comes! This pearl fish lives inside the sea cucumber's anus by day, and emerges by night to feed. In some cases, no harm is done to the host sea cucumber, but in some species the pearlfish can function as a parasite, causing harm to its host by eating its gonads and other internal organs!

1 package (15 ounces) seedless raisins 1/2 cup bourbon 1/4 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1-1/2 cups flour 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1-1/2 teaspoons nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cloves 4 cups pecan halves 1 pound candied cherries 1/2 pound mixed candied fruit Confectioners' sugar, optional
Stir raisins and bourbon together and let stand 1 hour. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cream butter and gradually beat in brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well.
Add flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves and pecans. Mix well. Add raisin- bourbon mixture and candied fruit.
Drop by teaspoons onto buttered cookie sheet. "Or to make cookies, shape into balls with your hands. This helps hold them together before baking. I find this works better than dropping from a teaspoon."
Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove cookies from cookie sheet and place on paper towel to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if desired. Makes 10 dozen.

It's a brand spanking new year, and that means it's time to pick 2012's last Community Superstar. Our winner has been an all around great guy and an author on multiple Marketplaces. A big congratulation goes out to DarkstarDesigns!
Who is this DarkstarDesigns guy anyway?
It's been a busy year for DarkstarDesigns (or Stephen as his friends and large assortment of enemies like to call him), with a major win in the "growing hair on your face" department during our November Golden Mo competition. And what a better way to cap off the year than with a Golden Community Superstar badge. That may even be enough to put a happy face on Stephen's angry star avatar. Maybe?
DarkstarDesigns has been a member of the Marketplaces since 2009 and has racked up some healthy sales on both 3DOcean and GraphicRiver. His profile page says he lives somewhere "near London", which I can only assume means Middlesbrough.
And in case you missed it, here's a photo of DarkstarDesigns in all his hairy-faced glory:
And here's a message that Stephen would like to pass on to his adoring masses:
First of thanks very much for the community Star feature it means a lot to me, I really enjoy spending time here, I am just starting to become active again after some slumber. The envato site have been a life saver, I use it everyday for work and it save so much time and money which mean I can complete projects I would never have had time for before. It great to be around so many great artist, so thank you.
Be sure to check out DarkstarDesigns' profile as well as some of my favorite items:
Retro Space Game Business Card
Transparent Picture Gallery Business Card
Highly Detailed Old Phone
Along with the ultra-cool gold superstar community badge (that only lasts for 12 months!), the prize this month is a 6 month Tuts+ premium subscription, a $30 Rockable eBook voucher and a $20 marketplace credit. Congratulations DarkstarDesigns!

Resources for Choosing a Graduate Program
General strategies for researching where to apply for graduate school:
Find the authors who have done interesting or important work in the field.
Check their publications to find out where they did this work. (Consult with a librarian to located publications.)
If the work was done at a university, then rank that university higher. (It would be prudent to check if a researcher is still at the university.)
If the work was done in the past few years, then find out the universities attended by the researcher. Databases like Dissertations Abstracts or WorldCat can help track down this information.

The main stateroom features a custom-built king size platform bed with headboard, two large closets and hexagonal stained-glass windows. Extra guests can be accommodated by a queen size sleep sofa and an inflatable Aerobed located in the main salon. In addition we have just built two more private staterooms and an additional bathroom on the second level of the boat.

In this revamped classic, Santa doesn't smoke
NEW YORK — Santa has kicked the habit in time for Christmas. No, not the sugar plum habit, or his fur-wearing habit, or his penchant for romping recklessly around open flame.
No, gentlepeople, this is the year the man in red gave up pipe tobacco, at least in a new book version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" that has received attention from some lofty corners, including the American Library Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The self-published Pamela McColl of Vancouver, Canada, has a mission for her story, to protect children and their parents from the ravages of smoking. She mortgaged her house and sunk $200,000 into her telling of the 189-year-old holiday poem, touring the states to promote it ahead of its September release.
What, particularly, did McColl do? She excised these lines: "The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth. And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath." And she added to the cover: "Edited by Santa Claus for the benefit of children of the 21st century."
And she included a letter from Santa on the back jacket flap announcing that "all of that old tired business of smoking" is behind him, claiming (by the way) that the reindeer can confirm his fur outerwear is faux out of respect for animals, including the polar bears of his beloved North Pole.
"There is a huge debate raging," McColl said of the attention. "I have been called every name in the book. One person said the only wreath they want to see this Christmas is one on my grave. Shame, shame, shame on you is the most common."
The 54-year-old entrepreneur and mother of adult twins said she's on Santa's case about smoking because she has seen firsthand how harmful it can be, recalling how at age 18 she had to pull her own father out of his burning bed after he fell asleep with a lit cigarette. She smoked herself as a teen but quit and is thankful her kids never took up the habit.
Deborah Caldwell-Stone, the ALA's deputy director for intellectual freedom, doesn't have a hard heart. But she doesn't see tobacco addiction when she considers what McColl has done. She sees "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "Tom Sawyer."
A publisher put out a combined version of those classics last year as edited by Mark Twain scholar Alan Gribben, who replaced about 200 occurrences of the N-word with "slave." Of McColl, Caldwell-Stone said:
"This wasn't a retelling. This wasn't a parody. This wasn't an adaptation. This wasn't a modernization. This wasn't fanfic. This was presenting the original but censoring the content. That kind of expurgation that seeks to prevent others from knowing the original work because of a disapproval of the ideas, the content, is a kind of censorship that we've always disapproved of."

An introduction to support on the Marketplaces
- Envato staff look over every item before it can be sold on the Marketplaces.
- Technical items contain help files to introduce you to the item and its components.
- Authors can choose to support their items but this is optional and may vary.
Hands-on support for this item is provided by MDNW

NOTE: I'm about to welcome the birth of twins into my family – as such, I'm spending a lot of time at the hospital with my wife due to some unforeseen complications. The point is this: I'll be answering support questions as much as humanly possible, but there are likely going to be some gaps that will leave some questions unanswered as quickly as I'd like. I'll do my best to help out though as often as as much as I can though! *
It's my sincere passion to release themes that require no support whatsoever. Good support starts with exceptional themes that are easy for ordinary people to use. With that said, I gladly provide full active support for our products for the first 6 months of their life cycle – this is where the vast majority of patches, feature additions, and bugfixes are discovered. Beyond that, the themes are sold "as-is".
This support policy does not include any support for customization, plugin integration, installation assistance, etc. We *may be able to help with this sort of stuff, but I'll only be able to do it on a case by case basis as time allows – in short, this sort of extra support will be done as a favor by me when I'm able to. I'll do my absolute best to provide this on a daily basis, but in full discretion, I have newborn twins at home and a 2 year old… so it makes sense for me to focus on ensuring bug-free releases and feature stability over one-to-one support.
I'll naturally release patches for these themes as it becomes necessary and logical for basic stability.
Item support does not include:- Customization and installation services
- Support for third party software and plug-ins
- Products over 6 months old (please feel free to post bugs so that I can fix them ASAP, but older themes will no longer be on a regular release schedule like the new themes are).

Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer anticipates being able to license Chael Sonnen to face Anderson Silva at UFC 148.
Anderson Silva flopped on pay-per-view at UFC 134. Only one man can make him a draw in the States -- Chael Sonnen, but Sonnen could also break Silva and take his title. Kid Nate makes the case for the fight at MMA Nation.
If there's one topic in MMA that never fails to fuel the speculation of media and fans, it's this: What's going on in Anderson Silva's head? The language barrier doesn't help with North Americans, and the translations are loose (and usually boring). There are the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde antics in the cage. There are interconnected associations with such things as Steven Seagal and paintball and Big Macs. Yet above all else, there's the long-tenured, record-breaking champion with a captivating -- if unintentional -- sense of mystery. A new film entitled "Like Water" will premiere April 21 in Manhattan at the Tribeca Film Festival, and it pulls the curtain back to reveal (in cussword-included subtitles) Anderson Silva in a context you wouldn't expect. How? Filmmaker Pablo Croce centers on travail. Rather than dog-earring the illustrious side of Silva's MMA career, Croce captures scrutiny and derision in painstaking detail within a three-month window that begins post-Demian Maia at UFC 112 and ends with Chael Sonnen at UFC 117. There are glimpses into other aspects (his family life, training, idling, interacting with fans), but the gravity of the film is based on a walls-closing-in sense of situation. Silva spends a lot of time negating the negative. It's not that we see Dana White peeved and telling Jim Rome he'll cut the champion if he made a mockery of the Octagon again; it's what you get out of Silva watching it, absorbing his own bizarre behavior. It's that you see him lament to Lyoto Machida-san that "everybody wants a brawl." We see self-reflective Silva, dealing in issues of esteem. It's not long before things shift to the montages of Chael Sonnen, who became (what he thought was) the mouthpiece of public sentiment in bashing Silva at every turn. Through the entire lead-up to the epic battle at UFC 117, Silva takes things in while maintaining an opiate calm. Yet there are glimpses into moods, caught when Silva hangs Soares out to dry with one-word answers during an interview. Or when he tells his friend/teammate, "You're screwed until I forget you're screwed" out of frustration with his fight. You see him in ordinary situations (like at the airport) doing extraordinary things (like putting his belt through security). What you don't see is Silva cracking under surmounting pressure, but the pressure is real and ends up being the star of the film. And that becomes the documentary's merit; it not only depicts the mettle of Silva on multiple levels, but it peers into the fight game in general through the back door. As much as we are shown Silva in intimate situations, you also see Sonnen intimately. We see the wirework beneath the surface and, as cliché as it seems, a human side to the fighters all too commonly regarded as products. In other words, you empathize with Silva, which has long been something foreign to us.
UFC star Chael Sonnen was unable to convince the Nevada Authorities to let him coach The Ultimate Fighter.
A film about the Ultimate Fighting Championship's middleweight champion will have its debut next month. This year's ESPN/Tribeca Sports Film Festival will include the worldwide premiere of Like Water, a documentary about Anderson Silva, according to a list released Monday. The festival runs from April 20 through May 1 in New York. Filmmakers followed Silva last year as he prepared for his Aug. 7 fight with Chael Sonnen at UFC 117. During that training, Silva injured his ribs, an incident addressed by the documentary, according to UFC President Dana White. The Sonnen fight proved to be the most difficult bout of Silva's UFC career. The challenger controlled the action on the ground for most of five rounds before succumbing to Silva's triangle choke with less than two minutes remaining. Specific movie times haven't been released yet.
A round up of opinions on the Chael Sonnen saga.
Reposted in full from WatchKalibRun Right off the top, I can tell you that if you're looking for a condemnation of Chael Sonnen for cheating and using PEDs, you're not in the right place. This...
A round up of commentary on the reported Chael Sonnen drug test failure.
Chael Sonnen has tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. What comes next? Jonathan Snowden shows that when the cheating fighter is a UFC star, not very much.

BP Comment Quick Links
April 12, 2013 Raising AcesJose Fernandez, the Debut AnteA number of rookie pitchers toed the rubber last weekend. Trevor Bauer continued his personal battles with mechanical consistency on his way to walking seven Rays (including the first four he faced), while Julio Teheran continued to struggle with his curveball. Shelby Miller had a successful introduction to 2013, building on his excellent showing down the stretch last season, though his heavy reliance on the fastball raises familiar questions as he gets deep into games. The aforementioned pitchers had each entered spring training with a chance to win a spot in the rotation for their respective reams, and each player had already been exposed to the bright lights of the majors, but the most impressive rookie on display last weekend was a 20-year-old with zero experience above high-A who shocked the baseball world with his massive leap to the majors. Jose Fernandez made his major-league debut for the Marlins on Sunday, pitching in Miami less than two years after he had been selected in the first round of the 2011 draft out of a Florida high school. Fernandez stepped onto the field as the second-youngest player in a major-league uniform (that Bryce Harper guy is younger). The decision to promote Fernandez is debatable (not that the Marlins are listening), but I was selfishly excited to see the young right-hander take the mound. It's easy to root for a pitcher with such an incredible back story, but the tale of his development is nearly as fascinating. Fernandez was a raw talent when he came to the States, but he was taken under the wing of coach Orlando Chinea, who helped to mold Fernandez into the pitcher he is today. Chinea was at the debut on Sunday, sitting with the rookie's parents in the Miami stands and offering insight into Fernandez' background as a pitcher. *** The box score made the first inning look easy, with Fernandez needing just eight pitches to retire the top of the Mets' lineup in order. His velocity registered in the 93–96 mph range, but the right-hander was greeted with plenty of contact in the opening frame, exercising the outfielders with three consecutive flyouts. Fernandez leaned on the fastball early and often, starting with five straight heaters to start the game. Ike Davis led off the second inning for the Mets, and Fernandez stuck to the gameplan by opening the at-bat with another fastball:

For more: Who Cares if Adam Levine Does Yoga?
Below interview of Adam Levine via Blisstree, Yogadork and, originally, Women's Health:
Did it change how you work out?
I had been lifting weights for years. After our first yoga session, I vowed never to lift another weight again.Do you believe in the mind-body connection?
I was skeptical, to say the least. I was wary of the cliche´s associated with yoga: spirituality used as a marketing tool or Eastern philosophy sold at Starbucks to disenchanted lawyers and accountants looking for meaning. What I soon realized is that yoga welcomes everyone—that's extremely appealing.How do you maintain your practice on tour?
Being a traveler, yoga is by far the most convenient way to exercise while I'm on the road. You don't need anything but a few feet of space and a mat. And I can always find at least an hour a day to practice. (Levine made videos with his teacher to take on the road with him.)What is your advice to people who think they are too inflexible to do yoga?
Start simple. Yoga will drastically improve you in every way imaginable. But let's face it, I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women. (I am totally kidding.)

He'd be way sexier without all those tatoos.
disagree. he's mad sexy BECAUSE of them
…Funny I was just thinking: So many people with tattoos that are so cheap and mainstream, Adams are mos definetely an expression of his identity and are a beautiful contrast to his insight…. But I respect your dislike for tattoos . I love them when are artistic unique and Adam's are definetely part of his beauty. imho
anyone know the sanskrit on his chest?
there is a double-danda after it, which is used to mark the end of a verse or paragraph (a single is used for the end of a line or sentence), which is also to say I don't know why it's there -
tapas (Sanskrit: "Warmth, heat,") — hence psychic energy, spiritual fervor or ardor . 1) Purificatory spiritual disciplines, severe austerity, penance and sacrifice

Unfortunately, his teacher needs to give him better alignment cues. His teacher was not helping him at all and it is clear that he needs more instruction and verbal and physical adjustments. I was surprised and disappointed at the quality of that instruction.
me too! warrior was all wrong….
agreed. her first instruction of push shoulders down is completely out of alignment and will hurt him in the longrun.
Yep. No alignment instruction. Hand placement is so important in dog pose, The index finger side of his hand was lifted off the mat. His hips were not squared to front of mat for warrior I. His elbows were not positioned over wrists for chaturanga. I kept wanting to step in and give him alignment cues. Poor Adam. His practice would benefit so much with more thorough instruction.
He is certainly bringing attention to something? Pehaps the fact that we are an over sexed culture.

Do you think the average woman thinks tatts like these are sexy or is it just the younger generation of women? Age 45
Guy needs a shower and a shave – and what about a real job? It would build up his character – and core strength.
depends on the lady,don't you think?
I think it's generational. I am 49 and I think tatts are hideous and appalling, no matter what the design or subject matter. But most twenty-somethings I know seem to take them for granted, like they're as normal and necessary as makeup or pierced ears.
Makeup and pierced ears are abnormal and in no way necessary. We are not born with makeup on, and we do not need it in order to survive. I am twenty and I do not, nor ever will, wear makeup and I am surviving just fine. Many would argue that not wearing makeup is actually better for your skin and body in the long run. Makeup and piercings fall under the same category as tattoos: body modification.

Wow, really impressed with the "interiority" this guy displays. Really deep stuff. Is he stoned, or just depressed? The fact is, even his asanas are lame. He's certainly on par with the Queen of Introspective Awareness, Kathryn Budig. Thankfully, though. he skipped the balloons. He might have floated away?
One of the things I learned to admire the most from the samurai culture, is the capacity to look within and observe our thoughts before coming to a sudden judgement. Even if his , mine or any one's asanas are LAME, there is Yoga being done, which is such of a huge step into external and internal transformation. When I noticed some corrections to be done in his poses, the only thought that came to me was: How great is to see another addition to the yoga world. I bet your asanas were lame at some point .
I am now not sure where you're getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend a while studying more or figuring out more. Thank you for wonderful info I was looking for this info for my mission.
Sometimes I contemplate if folks truly take time to write something original, or are they only just dishing out words to fill a site. This surely doesn't fit that mold.

we can say that it's yoga supra sexy…for this girl in the car.
I was under the mistaken impression that yoga allowed for mistakes. Being someone who is interested in yoga and looking for an introduction to it that suits my schedule and desire for non-judgmental instruction — I can see, based on the comments here, that if you engage in yoga you are opening yourself up to a lot of criticism (not to mention having your instructor criticized as well) of technique, personal appearance, and method.
Unrealistic as it may seem I'm hoping to find a discipline that is more supportive and less judgmental.
But thanks for the heads up with this website. Clearly the social component is full of critics just like in every other religion.
Its really amazing article great work in this blog.
Thanks for the posting. -
Unique handmade wedding gowns seems to me pretty stunning and I'm very much impressed to see all of the above Eco-friendly wedding dress indeed!
Most yoga texts advise that one should preserve the life force of semen. This article does nothing but use sex appeal to drive traffice to EJ's sites for Search Engine Optimization. This website is dieing a slow death. Just let the suffering end.
He must be using his rt. hand too much, for masturbation, because he cant staighten the rt arm completely in down dog….
OMG.. what a look he has ! He is awesome !
Interesting! You can show a vagina but not a penis!

The app then became unresponsive to clicking within the image and would not respond to any clicking. Some short cuts began to also become unresponsive and then little tool tip icon for one tool would not shift to reflect a new tool choice. It was the crop tool that started to act this way with the others following suite shortly thereafter. I run a macbok pro/lion/external monitor. thanks aloha

Hey sweetie!
I miss you! How are you feeling? Getting better?
you need to come back and play with us. I will make fresh coffee and I will tell Dani to make cookies! Yummm cookies!Innocent?
Oh, I hope you're okay! We don't like it what people are sick for any reason. :nah:
I love making cookies, so I can do that. I could even make a cake for you too! :whoohoo:
Aww...you guys are too sweet. I guess I have been a bit too quiet on this board.
I'm recovering well. For those who don't know, I'm recovering from surgery. I'm healing better than expected and I show no signs of complications or infections. :leph: I'm still paying catch-up on all the yahoo group msgs that come in when I'm having those "I need painkllers and now I'm a zombie" moments, but all in all I'm doing rather good.
Thank you so much for asking. HugMe
Well I am glad and I am double glad that you have pain killers!Party Time
Hope your recovery goes well and we can play more soon!HugMe
That's excellent to hear!! :whoohoo:
I love when I hear good news about quick and non complicated recoveries. It must be from the fact that I practically grew up in a doctor's office, I work in the medical field and I have seen a lot that can happen after surgery. :wacko:
Here's a flower to make you feel better faster. :flowers: Oh, and let me know if you want cake or cookies. LOL
Did you lock the round robin fic thingie in the coffee write section? I can't post a new reply. :(
Anyways, I'll put it here so I can just copy and paste it later if it's not closed and something is just wonky. If it is closed, I'm still gonna paste it here just so I can chuckle.
And thats how it goes down. Every time. Like clock work. Devin shivered as the memory of the clammy moss against his neck lingered.
Asenn, sitting every bit the part of an attentive friend or, more specifically, therapist, minus the Freud goatee and glasses, stroked non-existent facial hair and put on a fake accent. I see. This this recurring dream of yours is very interesting. How many times would you say youve had it?
Couldnt that specter take anything seriously? Devin rolled his eyes. You know how many times Ive had it.
Asenn nodded. And yet you keep forgetting to tell me about your mother.
Forget it! Devin jerked up from his chair. If youre not going to be any help, why are you even here? Why do you keep mulling about me and poking your nose in my business?
Asenn bit his lips closed.
Devin continued, Whats the freaking point of all of this, huh? And quit sitting there with that smug grin on your face like you know all of the answers when all you know is how to be a pain in my ass!
Asenn sighed. Are you quite through?
Shaking his head, Devin walked toward a front window. He didnt even want to look at Asenn right now. In the corner of his eye, he noticed Loris Chevy creeping along the road. He didnt agree with Asenns behavior, but he could understand why Asenn enjoyed haunting her. She was nice too look at. Her hair would grab the light as it fell about her shoulders. And her nose. She had a really cute nose. It fit perfectly upon her face.
Forgive me, Devin.
What the hell? Devin slowly turned away from the white lace curtains that werent in style even when they were the style. What did you say?
Forgive me, Devin. Asenns voice was low and soft. This apology seemed earnest. I didnt realize this troubled you so. Finally! Finally some kind of something from the ghost. I also didnt realize you needed a clue club to the head! Asenns voice rose and took on a completely unnecessary sarcastic tone. Obviously, the woman in the dream isnt just in a dream. Obviously, shes reaching out to you for some kind of help. Asenn shook his head.
If Asenn werent dead he would be in short order. Thank you, Einstein! Ill call the Nobel committee right now! Devin stormed across the room and shoved his finger in Asenns face. Who were you? Father Asenn of the High Holy Order of the Obvious? Is she alive or dead? Do you have any Devin whirled his fingers in the air searching for a word that didnt exist. other plane contacts or information circles or anything? Do you have any way of finding out or is your worth limited to watching Lori masturbate?
Asenn narrowed his eyes and shoved his finger into Devins chin. Ill be sure to catch the Living Dead Nightly News. Ya know, the one that airs on Channel One at midnight, the bewitching hour of course, and obituaries are Asenns voice trailed off. Obituaries, Devin. Do you see it? Sometimes they come with pictures.
Yes! Devin nodded and grinned. If I could kiss you Asenn, I would! Doesnt the library keep a digital copy of the newspaper?
If you really wanted to kiss me, you
Dont go there, Asenn. My lovers must have a pulse.
Devins mind started spinning. It wasnt a guaranteed tactic, but he could check the obituaries of the archived newspaper. Even before CDs the library archived the newspaper to microfiche. He might also be able to pull some strings at the police station and see about flipping through the pictures of missing persons. Someone out there had to know this womanpast or present. She couldnt have lived or currently live in a void.
There is a new one honey. Sorry about that. (wink) We start a new one every two months. HugMe
Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and no more pain in the future

VZW Q4 2012 profit margin way low...
CNN reports
"Verizon said it recorded a wireless service profit margin of just 41.4% for the quarter, by far its lowest in years.
The company said it expects wireless margins to average between 49% and 50% for all of 2013."

Re: VZW Q4 2012 profit margin way low...
Good news for us on unlimited still is that Verizon is still getting people to switch to 2GB or share everything when they upgrade since most people don't know or don't care. I was at the store the other day (a 3rd party store, not a regular Verizon store) and the rep said: "No carrier offers unlimited anymore, you have to move to a Share Everything to upgrade." I mentioned Sprint, but they got the lady to move to a 2GB plan anyways. But once those people dry up, the guns will undoubtedly be pointed at us.

Re: VZW Q4 2012 profit margin way low...
Profit margins for any cellular company are going to be lower than expected, especially for a company that is top of the market like Verizon. Cellular is general can only advance so much now. I believe you are going to see companies move more towards being Technology companies than just "Wireless Providers".

Mortise and tenon
The mortise[1] and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, mainly when the adjoining pieces connect at an angle of 90°. In its basic form it is both simple and strong. Although there are many joint variations, the basic mortise and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole and the tenon tongue. The tenon, formed on the end of a member generally referred to as a rail, is inserted into a square or rectangular hole cut into the corresponding member. The tenon is cut to fit the mortise hole exactly and usually has shoulders that seat when the joint fully enters the mortise hole. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place.
This joint is also used with other materials. For example, it is a traditional method for stonemasons and blacksmiths.
Types of mortise and tenon[edit]
A mortise is a cavity cut into a timber to receive a tenon. There are several kinds of mortise:[2]
- Open mortise
- a mortise that has only three sides. (See bridle joint).
- Stub mortise
- a shallow mortise, the depth of which depends on the size of the timber; also a mortise that does not go through the workpiece (as opposed to a "through mortise").
- Through mortise
- a mortise that passes entirely through a piece.
- Wedged half-dovetail
- a mortise in which the back is wider, or taller, than the front, or opening. The space for the wedge initially allows room for the tenon to be inserted; the presence of the wedge, after the tenon has been engaged, prevents its withdrawal. It is sometimes called a "suicide" joint, since it is a "one-way trip".
- Through-wedged half-dovetail
- a wedged half-dovetail mortise that passes entirely through the piece.
- A tenon is a projection on the end of a timber for insertion into a mortise. Usually the tenon is taller than it is wide.
There are several kinds of tenon:
- Stub tenon
- short, the depth of which depends on the size of the timber ; also a tenon that is shorter than the width of the mortised piece so the tenon does not show (as opposed to a "through tenon").
- Through tenon
- a tenon that passes entirely through the piece of wood it is inserted into, being clearly visible on the back side.
- Loose tenon
- a tenon that is a separate part of the joint, as opposed to a fixed tenon that is an integral part of one of the pieces to be joined.
- Biscuit tenon
- a thin oval piece of wood, shaped like a biscuit [2]
- Tusk tenon
- a kind of mortise and tenon joint that uses a wedge-shaped key to hold the joint together.
- Teasel (or teazle) tenon
- a term used for the tenon on top of a jowled or gunstock post, which is typically received by the mortise in the underside of a tie beam. A common element of the English tying joint.
- Top tenon
- the tenon that occurs on top of a post.
- Hammer-headed tenon
- a method of forming a tenon joint when the shoulders cannot be tightened with a clamp.
- Half shoulder tenon
- An asymmetric tenon with a shoulder on one side only. A common use is in framed, ledged and braced doors.
Generally the size of the mortise and tenon is related to the thickness of the timbers. It is considered good practice to proportion the tenon as one third the thickness of the rail, or as close to this as is practical. The haunch, the cut-away part of a sash corner joint that prevents the tenon coming loose, is one third the length of the tenon and one sixth of the width of the tenon in its depth. The remaining two-thirds of the rail, the tenon shoulders, help to counteract lateral forces that might tweak the tenon from the mortise, contributing to its strength. These also serve to hide imperfections in the opening of the mortise.
This is an ancient joint and has been found joining the wooden planks of the "Khufu ship",[3] a 43.6 m long vessel sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex of the Fourth Dynasty around 2500 BC. The oldest known use dates from the Early Neolithic Linear Pottery culture, where it was used in the constructing of the wooden lining of water wells.[4]
It has also been found in ancient furniture from archaeological sites in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Many instances are found, for example, in ruins of houses in the Silk Road kingdom of Cadota, dating from the first to the fourth century CE.[5] In traditional Chinese architecture, wood components, such as beams, brackets, roof frames and struts, were made to interlock with perfect fit, without using fasteners or glues, enabling the wood to expand and contract according to humidity.[6] Archaeological evidence from Chinese sites shows that, by the end of the Neolithic, mortise-and-tenon joinery was employed in Chinese construction.[7]
The thirty sarsen stones of Stonehenge were dressed and fashioned with mortise-and-tenon joints before they were erected between 2600 and 2400 BC.

Charlie Brewer's Slider Heads - Crappie
Charlie Brewer's Crappie Slider Heads are the favorite for many top slab hunters. The Crappie Slider Heads' weedless design means they are especially useful when chasing crappie in and around their favored habitat—in brush. Charlie Brewer's Crappie Slider Heads are outfitted with a size 1 hook and measure 1-1/2'' long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VTFisher more than just sliders
I use these as soon as the weeds start to grow thick to get in where the crappie are, in the thick dark weeds and trees.love the differnt colors, and useing the heads on 2.5'' gulp minnows along with the crappie sliders.No one can go wrong haveing these on the lake.
June 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by marksha Excellent crappie hook
I fish these hooks with the crappie slider grub, and they work great. I fish heavy cover and I can get the jig and the grub through thick cover without getting hung up. I fish the grub tail down, and it seems that I get a lot more strikes that way. I use the orange head and white tail most of the time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by UltraLightBass works great
There are great but are light and don't cast far. they are great for grubs, again just make sure the worm is not fat because the gap on the hook is not large

1/16oz with a #1 hook they work greatA:
I use the 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz the best, but it depends on the depth you are fishing, and what the fish want.A:
Hello MountainMike: As Charlie Brewer explained it back in the 70's, no matter whether your fishing the Crappie Grub or the 4" slider worm for bass fish the lightest slider head you can get away with. If the crappie or bass are deep go to the next heavier head. Something they didn't mention in thier ads is you can shave off some of the lead on the slider heads to make them weigh even less depending on conditions. I've been using them for over30 yrs. now and swear by them. When they won't bite anything else throw a Slider and your in business!!! I've placed in several tournament using them. With kindest regards, Rick.Answers
u can rig them weedless while fishing around brush with any 1 1/2 charlie brewer slider grub or any curly tail grub but i have to say the charlie brewer slider grub is hard to beat the crappie cant resist the tite action the paddle tail adds to the grub crappie,bream and bass cant leave them aloneTop 250 Contributor
white with blue tail or chart with black tail. For bass go with Strike King Baby Craw black with blue flake.Top 250 Contributor
There is an actual bait called the slider. They come as worms or crappie jigs. Those are what they are made for and they work very well. You can also use any grub. Be creative and experement with them because we have all a preffered way to fish these.1 of 1

Hi: 12° Lo:2° 7 day
HELPING capture a suspected murderer has seen a Kenilworth man honoured by internet giant Google.
Luka Magnotta fled from Canada in May this year after a video depicting the dismembering of a Chinese student was posted online.
And through his own knowledge of multilingual social networking service Google+, Mike Downes showed Interpol and Toronto Police how to establish a press conference using Google+ Hangouts – an internet-based video chat.
Magnotta was apprehended a month later in an internet café in Berlin while reading news stories about himself.
Mike has worked with other media organisations, including KOMU TV in the USA, to teach them about using Google+ Hangouts as a tool for reporters to file stories from remote locations.
And it is this as well as work with law enforcements agencies overseas helping them to increase their presence on the web, which prompted him to be recognised as a 'hometown hero' by Google.
On a more personal note, Mike has participated in 'hangouts' with Olympic champion Usain Bolt, Spice Girl Melanie C, and Radio 1 presenter Reggie Yates discussing topics ranging from astrophysics to Team GB's success at the Olympics.
Mike, a former primary school teacher, said: "Google+ gives anyone the ability to connect with people who share similar passions and interests at the click of a button.
"I have been on Google+ for a little over a year now and I've already connected with over 20,000 people from across the globe.
"There is no reason why businesses and individuals in Warwickshire can't set up a Google+ page. My experience of Google+ has been fantastic as it allows me to connect with people locally and from across the globe."
Anoek Eckhardt, communications and public affairs manager at Google, said Mike was a great ambassador for Google+.
He added: "His interaction to share knowledge, advice and learn together highlights the collaborative power of Google+.
"We hope others from across Kenilworth and throughout Warwickshire follow his lead to connect with family, friends and like-minded people through Google+."

Good article on the lack of fresh eggs, but I really have problems when they call McMurdo a New Zealand supplied station.

Kanye West Enlists The-Dream, Malik Yusef For New Solo Album
The-Dream and Malik Yusef confirm that they will appear on Kanye West's new album.
Fresh off his multiple Grammy wins this weekend, it appears Kanye West is in the beginning stages of recording his next solo album.
In a recent interview with Hitfix, both The-Dream and Malik Yusef confirmed that they've been working with Yeezy on new material for his sixth solo album. Although The-Dream kept tight-lipped about the project, he said that he and Kanye are planning to hit the studio soon and that, "hopefully we can get another Grammy together."
Kanye's longtime collaborator Malik Yusef gave a few more details about the impending project, saying that the album will be "a throwback" to an era of progressive black music. He also added that the album will have less of an emphasis on sung vocals than Kanye's past efforts like 808s & Heartbreaks.
"[Kanye] is a perfectionist, obviously. It's harsh. He says no to a hundred things," Yusef explained. "I can't talk too much about it. Just remember black music, the black experience. It's a throwback to that era...[and] a distillation of what's happening in the modern world...I don't know if we'd ever revisit that amount of singing [that he did on 808s & Heartbreaks]."
This past weekend, Kanye and The-Dream shared a Grammy win for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for the song "No Church in the Wild."

Photo of full moon and halo by Randy Miller Andersen
Unlike Earth's moon, many moons in the solar system orbit above the equator of their parent planets. If our moon did likewise – orbited around the Earth's equator – then the moon would always rise due east and set due west every day. However, our moon orbits Earth on nearly the same plane that Earth orbits the sun (aka the plane of the ecliptic). Thus, our moon's orbit is quite inclined to the plane of the Earth's equator.
That's why our moon, as it rises and sets each day, spends about two weeks rising and setting south of due east and west, and then two weeks rising and setting north of due east and west. It's this inclination of the moon's orbit that's responsible for the parade of moonlit nights that comes every autumn with the full Hunter's Moon – the full moon immediately following the full Harvest Moon. In 2013, the full Hunter's Moon phenomenon begins on the night of October 18-19. There will be bright moons ascending in the east, around the time of dusk, for the several nights after that, for us in the Northern Hemisphere.
In October 2013, for example, the moon swings farthest south for the month (19.5o south of the equator) on October 9. Then the moon climbs farthest north for the month (19.5o north of the equator) on October 23. The Northern Hemisphere's full Hunter's Moon falls on October 18, 2013, as the moon is going eastward – as well as northward – in its orbit. While the sun flies southward of the celestial equator in autumn, the Hunter's Moon migrates northward.
Every full moon rises around sunset, and sets around sunrise, providing moonlight all night long. On the average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each night after the full moon – though the lag time between moonrises is less than average after the full Hunter's Moon. This is because the moon rises farther north along the eastern horizon each day for days on end after the Northern Hemisphere's full Hunter's Moon, causing the moon to rise earlier than usual and to provide several nights of dusk-till-dawn moonlight.
18.6-year lunar cycle impacts Hunter's Moon
The inclination of the moon's orbital path to the plane of the Earth's equator changes over a cycle of 18.6 years. For instance, in the year 2006, the moon in its monthly travels swung from about 28.5o south to 28.5o north of the Earth's equator. Sometimes this extreme inclination is called a major lunar standstill. The greater inclination of the moon's orbit accentuates the effect of the Hunter's Moon.
In the year 2015, in contrast, the moon's monthly travels will only take the moon from about 18.5o south to 18.5o north of the Earth's equator. This minimal inclination of the moon's orbit is sometimes called a minor lunar standstill. A minor lunar standstill acts to lessen the effect of the Hunter's Moon.
Monthly lunar standstills: 2001-2100
So we're closer to a minor lunar standstill than a major lunar standstill in 2013. Therefore, the diminished inclination of the moon's orbit to the equator lessens the impact of this year's Hunter's Moon. In fact, the next major lunar standstill year won't be forthcoming until 2025.
What is a Hunter's Moon?
The full moon immediately following the full Harvest Moon enjoys the designation of Hunter's Moon. The full Hunter's Moon will come on October 18, 2013, in the Northern Hemisphere – and to the Southern Hemisphere on April 15, 2014. However, there are no Harvest or Hunter's Moons at the equator and not enough to say so in the tropical regions of the globe. You really have to be well north (or south) of the tropics to observe this grand parade of moonlit nights in the autumn of the year. The farther north or south of the Earth's equator that you live, the longer the procession of moonlit nights accompanying the Harvest and Hunter's Moons.
The term Hunter's Moon might be of European origin, because northern Europe is much closer to the Arctic than to the tropics. Before the advent of artificial lighting, people planned nocturnal activity around the the moon, knowing the moon provides dusk-till-dawn daylight on the night of the full moon. Peoples of olden times also knew autumn full moons could be relied upon to usher in dusk-till-dawn moonlit for several days in a row at mid-temperate latitudes, or even as long as a week straight at far-northern latitudes. This bonanza of moonlight in the season of waning daylight remains the legacy of the Harvest and Hunter's Moons.
What causes a Hunter's Moon?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the moon rises farther north along the horizon each evening for several evenings in a row following the appearance of the full Hunter's Moon. This reduces the lag time between successive moonrises, so that the moon rises at or near the time of sunset for several days in succession. (In the Southern Hemisphere, the full Hunter's Moon will occur in April 2014, as the moon is moving southward from night to night.) In fact, it's even possible – in or near a major standstill year – for the moon at to rise at an earlier time than on the day before at high northern (or southern) latitudes. For a prime example, see the chart below for Anchorage, Alaska, noting the moonrise times in October 2005.
Also, note the moonrise times for October 2015 in Anchorage, Alaska, during the year of the minor lunar standstill. Obviously, the minor lunar standstill lessens the impact of the Hunter's Moon.
