Today's weather forecast: Dry Like Toast
I was kind of shocked to find out (thanks to a question on an online dating site) that there are a lot of men in this town who spend more money on shoes a year than I do. Well, well-heeled gents rejoice! Christian Louboutin just opened its first west coast men's boutique—located right across the street from its sister store on Robertson.
Dudes can shop for sneakers, neon-piped brogues, loafers, travel bags and small leather goods among the diamond-paneled leather walls and pleated turquoise wallpaper. Another nice touch is the "Tattoo Parlor" where shoppers can personalize their kicks with an embroidered design of their own or one of Louboutin's creations.

Animalearn's 2011 Humane Parent on NPR Affiliate
Listen to the NPR story here
Animalearn's 2011 Humane Parent of the Year, Anne Graff, was recently featured in a story airing on NPR member station WEKU in Kentucky about the debate over high school dissection.
After learning that her son's anatomy and physiology class was going to require five weeks of cat dissection, Anne contacted Animalearn in search of help. Animalearn provided her with materials she could take to educators and administrators to begin a conversation about alternatives. Her work has opened up the possibility of using models and computer simulations in not only her son's school, but in others as well.
Animalearn awarded Anne $1,000 for the purchase of alternatives for her school district. She has worked diligently on this issue to demonstrate that alternatives provide not only an effective more humane learning experience, but can also save school districts a significant amount of money.

Seiko Automatic Diver SKX419K Stainless Steel, Cal. 7S26
View from Top Front
this shot is rather a coincident. My tripod SLIK 5000 is broken, so I had to shoot with a table tripod which made it a bit more difficult to position the reflector cards and the light. I found out, that a reduced light was a better solution for the very glossy areas of this watch. If I used a similar light intensity as with the Titanium divers, the watch case would always show "burnt" (too bright) areas. However the reduced light created a nice side effect, you can see the very good luminosity of the watch, the markers glow in a greenish color even with quite a bit of ambient light present.

Using Flexible Pipe in Home Plumbing
Local Licensed Plumbing Contractors in your area
Every home plumbing system consists of a series of pipes and water main fittings that connect the pipes. Fittings are designed to connect straight, rigid pipes and to permit them to turn corners, branch off into different directions or enlarge or reduce the diameter of the pipes. Flexible pipes designed for home plumbing offer a number of advantages.
Cross-linked polyethylene pipe, is a form of flexible pipe also known as PEX. In the acronym PEX, the PE refers to the polyethylene from which the pipe is made and the X denotes the materials cross-linking via molecular chains. This cross-linking makes the pipe very durable regardless of the temperature, water pressure or chemicals passing through the pipe. Flexible pipe is a good choice if you are building a new home or replacing existing pipe work in an older home.
The Many Advantages of Flexible Pipe
Flexible pipe can be used for hot or cold water inlets or outlets.
Flexible pipe can be connected to copper, steel and PVC pipes with specially designed adapters.
Flexible plumbing pipe can be bent around corners and over obstacles without you having to use fittings or couplings.
Because flexible pipe has fewer joints and fittings the risk of leaks are significantly reduced. This also makes it much easier to install.
Because the pipe is flexible it can contract and expand more readily than copper, steel or PVC pipes, which means it is more resistant to bursts during extreme temperature changes.
Flexible pipe is less expensive than copper, steel or PVC pipe.
Flexible pipe is not prone to corrosion as metal pipe is.
Flexible pipe is mildew resistant.
This type of pipe can be cut evenly and smoothly without the necessity for special tools.
Flexible pipe can be connected by crimping, which saves you the trouble of using lots of connectors or a hot torch (in the case of copper pipes).
You dont need a wrench and lots of strength to install or uninstall flexible pipe connectors.
Flexible pipe has a low weight and is easy to handle.

There are things in Perth that are done with special styles and presentation that none can be seen elsewehere. I have always loved the ice-cream food chains running around here, namely the Gelato or the Gelare. The freshly made flavours and not too sweet, yet smooth and rich texture of the ice-creams are something that one shall find extremely tempting in hot weather of Australian summer.
I went to Gelare last nite. And I noticed something interestingly familiar. This poster hung on the decorative wall vividly reminds me of something rather similar. Something, more pleasing to the body and soul than just taste buds and sweetness of the creamy confectionary served in scoops. Something, so irresistably wrong.
Oh man, look at the lips. Thick, wet, juicy... *slurp* *slurp* Now is this supposed to increase my cravings for ice-cream, or the other way round? See it whichever way you like, but I call this artistic and purely creative !! Definitely something you shall not see in Malaysia. If you are such an idiot and still could not get what that picture illustrates, go find yourself a pair of scissors, chop your penis off (in case you are a girl, find the nearest guy to you, and chop his penis off) and go to a mirror, holding the penis near your lips. Yeah, that should roughly give you the idea.
The ice-cream dummies, also in the similar shape with the one in the poster. Man, I have never really paid attention to the ice-cream scooped shapes, until last night. Yes, believe me, they CAN make the ice-creams look like... look like....
My yummy-licious Swiss Chocolate Caramel flavour Ice Cream on a regular toasted waffle cone. Phewwwwhh.. that is one hell of a long name. But hey, for the original idea on the "eroctically artistic" presentation, I give Gelare two thumbs up !!!
The shape of the ice cream cone may be similar to what I preciously own, but of course, mine is significantly more dominant in size. And mine does not melt in your mouth.

I've seen a few of these recently so i thought i'd pitch in...
#1 - Denver sends Kenneth Faried Andre Miller Jordan Hamilton, Future protected 1st for Greg Monroe, Charlie Villanueva, 2nd rd pick.
Greg Monroe is the type of big that would thrive in Shaw's system. Faried's defense is awful and i know i love his energy but he's a guy that will always keep us from every being a legit contender due to his defense. Cvill is for cap purposes only and will be dropped after year. Future 1st should be protected lottery this year and drop from there.
#2 - Denver sends Wilson Chandler and JJ Hickson and a 2nd rd pick to Houston for Omar Asik and Francisco Garcia.
Having Asik next to Monroe is a must. Monroe isn't the best defender and having Asik behind him would make up for his lack of lateral quickness. Houston is looking for a wing scorer to come off the bench and also a big man that can play both 4 and 5 when howard is out. Not sure they'd pick up Hickson's contract , but we can only hope lol. Garcia is just a fill in who we can buy out on offseason cheap since he has PO next year cheap.
#3 - Denver sends Mozgov, rights to Erick Green to Pelicans for Pierre Jackson, Aminu and 2nd rd pick.
WHY?!?! I know alot of you like Mozgov. With Asik and Mcgee, he's expendable. Getting Pierre Jackson is a little gamble but the little dude is putting up 30+ in dleague and was a monster in college. No doubt in my mind he will be a great bench scorer in the league. he's a gamer and a winner. NO wants a legit big man next to Unibrow. Mozgov has shown he's capable of being a starter in the league and a definite upgrade to Jason Smith and Stiesma. Aminu is a throw in to make salary work but i think he's a great wing defender that this team could use. Pelicans would ask for green to stash again like they've done with Jackson.
Sign Manny Harris from Dleague for rest of year. He will be our Jordan Hamilton. He played fairly well for LAL during his 20 day tilt with them. He can score.
With a top 10 Draft pick, i'd love to land Noah Vonleh from indiana. 6'10 PF with inside, outside game. I think he would be perfect compliment to Monroe and Asik.
I don't think Mcgee is movable at this point.
FA - resign aminu 2 year 5 mill. sign manny harris to a minimum 1 year. a veteran PG for vet minimum (Beno Udrih maybe). nothing fancy
Future Lineup
PG - Lawson, Pierre Jackson, Udrih
SG - Foye, Fournier, Manny Harris
SF - Gallo, Aminu, Q miller
PF - Monroe, Vonleh, Arthur
C - Asik, Mcgee, Randolph
This would put us around 61 (IF math is right) mill for next year without Monroe because he's a RFA...they keep saying cap will be around 75 next year before luxury tax. That gives us around 14 mill to play with which should be enough. I'd think he's worth around 12-13 per.

Patrick Stewart, yes! Also, they realized up front (possibly a Roddenberry thing) that the show needed that "outer view" the "logical being" who would highlight who humanity was illogical and also why logic was not enough. Data is a wonderful character who embraces the "role" Spock had filled but in a different and interesting way (no one ever took Spock's arm off at a trial, Spock never popped open an arm to rewire a ship's circuit).
Thanks to Ron Salon for the signature banner!
Yeah Data is somewhat of a singularity in Star Trek. He could've so easily been a cheap knock off of Spock but he was his own being on his own journey in all of Star Trek; a real originality, nothing quite like him before in the history of Trek.
"Death, delicious strawberry flavored death!"
Data is the best! Unlike Spock, who tries to hide his humanity, Data seeks to enhance his....he's a very uplifting character for us mere humans...he shows us what is wonderful about us.
Thanks to Ron Salon for the signature banner!
I guess TOS will always be my first love (after lecturing a fellow second-grader that Klingons do not "cling on" to anything, an obsession was born). Luckily I got to watch it while still too young to notice the flaws. But, now that I am both older and wiser I must admit...
TNG was the better series.
Oops... double post.
Have you ever remembered what life was like before you were born? That's how it will be like after you're dead.

TNG had a good run, there's no question about that, but I would not say that its the best Trek series. Granted, it had its fair share of good episodes and while the actors were good, especially Picard Stewart and Brent Spiner's acting (with Marina Sirtis being a liability), the chemistry between them was never like TOS cast. They just were not as chrismatic as TOS cast and this in part has to do with the fact that TNG characters are not very interesting to begin with. This is not TNG cast fault, its Roddenberry's because he created these characters who came across as bland, righteous, preachy people who were true blue heroes who could do no wrong and always told the truth. They were essentially black and white characters with no shades of grey. Essentially, they were cardboard caricatures, not real human beings with flaws, warts, vices and all that good stuff. DS9 got that right and to an extent, even TOS, they were more real to me and that's why I can relate more to these people as opposed to TNG. But what's worse, TNG had no interpersonal conflict, thus, making the show very boring at times. Conflict is the very essence of good drama and if Roddenberry wanted to write for a show that featured no interpersonal conflict, then he would have been better off writing for Sesame Street! In a lot of ways, DS9 is a more worthy successor to TOS than TNG because both TOS and DS9 proved that despite the characters flaws, differences and internal conflicts, when push came to shove, they all worked together as a team and pulled through for each other. An example of this was the love-hate relationship in TOS involving Spock and McCoy and DS9 involving Quark and Odo. They had their differences but they always had a certain respect for each other and save each other lives many times. Michael Piller who wrote for TNG and DS9 said it best, "people who come from different places—honorable, noble people—will naturally have conflicts".
Furthermore, in one interview prior to TNG television premiere, Roddenberry stated that the relationship between Picard and Riker would be a more closer one than Kirk and Spock. Well, in retrospect, that never happened. While the relationship between Picard and Riker was that of respect and admiration, theirs was always more formal than Kirk and Spock. Kirk and Spock hugged each other, went on shoreleave together and even sang campfire songs together. They were more than just friends, colleagues and shipmates, they were family. That was never the case with Picard and Riker and I wished they had a deeper friendship than the final product. Hence, TNG cast did okay on tv, but barely because their chemistry felt forced and they can't carry a film to save their lives, their track record is proof of this. What's ironic about this is that I used to watch TOS during its reruns, but I was too young to understand it at the time, however, when I was a teenager, it was TNG that made me into a full-fledge fan. Now, seeing TNG through the eyes of an adult, TNG is not my favorite trek show anymore, its DS9, but I will always treasure TNG for the good memories of my youth, anyway.

When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
Personally I think that the casting of TNG was spot on perfect. Few of them may have been well known prior but they fit their characters like a glove, and you coul tell that from the minute they were onscreen. You could see it, and when that's the case their likeability and charm saw you through below par episodes.
I totally disagree they weren't a family, they were shipmates to start with, but I defy anyone to watch the last scene of 'All Good Things' and not see they had all become more than that.
It also benefitted from better effects and bigger budgets (most of the time, but it was the 1980s!)
It helps in my affection that TNG was my first Trek series, so naturally I will have a closer affinity for it, but I also agree with all the other positive comments posted by others about the show. I think DS9 is the best overall series, thematically and emotionally, but I don't love it the way I love TNG.
I still think some hot topics haven't been discussed better on any scifi show than TNG did it.
I even still recognize new scifi series copying parts of TNG. It was one of the best and most intelligent shows.
And if tyrants take me, And throw me in prison, My thoughts will burst free, Like blossoms in season.
Foundations will crumble, The structure will tumble, And free men will cry:
Thoughts are free!
it had bigger and better stories, which werent just Saturday afternoon Sunday morning stories.

So here's the strange bit about the glamorous world of modeling...its not at all glamorous. Not At All.
Well certainly not when you are reeeaaaallly old like me.
It normally involves lots of traveling, arriving late at night and jet lagged. You are up by 4 am, having a your hair mercifully pulled, curled or straightened, whilst someone else pins clothes tightly around your tummy, which you are sucking in for dear life so the client does not notice you've had four kids. Although its harder to suck in your thighs.
And then you're loaded into mini vans and driven to another destination, as dawn is just breaking, and even if you did have a moment to take in the scenery around you, all you actually do is eye the competition who are, inevitably younger, and have just been on a Sports Illustrated cover, dressed only in a thong.
So now you are really frightened.
And probably hungry.
And cold or very hot. Remember winter collections are shot in summer, and summer in winter, which is why on last weeks shoot I had toe warmers pressed against my nipples to try and make them behave beneath the flimsy silk shirt.
The day starts this early as we need to catch the light. A photographer spends their life trying to catch the light, then there is too much light, then we are loosing the light. Its very rare the light is just right. This means, as the model, you just stand there, blankly, waiting for the light. Waiting.
My blackberry is out of my reach, while we stand waiting for the light. Torture, for a Crackberry addict like me. I can see it is flashing. Has one of the kids been attacked by a shark? Has the SUGAR MILL burnt down? The possibilities are endless, if only I could have a teeny little glance at it whilst waiting for the light.....
"Lights up" The crew jump into action, the stylist fiddles with my hem, my hair is tussled one more time, the other model slips her arm around me and we lightly skip forward with our gleaming perfect teeth, best friends. Except my teeth are not so gleaming and a little bit of air brushing will have to happen. And possibly not just on my teeth.
"Light's down" We stop again. Now the creative director worries the watermelon colored coat is all wrong. The really important people now huddle in a corner discussing the coat, because it's a really important coat. We begin again. But I am no longer wearing the coat, MY watermelon coat is now on the Sports Illustrated girl. Best friend indeed.
After a few more hours of happy skipping, my toe-nipple warmer slips out, and as I bend down to retrieve it I hear a ripping sound......

Hockey Wilderness will have no content today, in protest of SOPA, the bill currently before congress threatening to remove the right of people like us t deliver content to people like you. The very act of our morning "Walk" would become illegal. A basic link inside a post leading you to the source information could be seen as a violation of the law as well.
Hockey Wilderness, and SBNation as a whole could be shut down for even the smallest violation, and even if that violation is done by a reader in comment of FanPost.
Take the time to inform yourself on this codification of censorship and blatant limitation of innovative thinking. Ask yourself if you want the US Government to protect old industries doing things the old way, or if you want to the web to be able to progress and create ever new ways to share and communicate.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Keep it civil.

Liver Problems
Elevated liver enzymes in the blood, Hepatic lipidosis, Hepatitis, auto immune and viral, Vomiting, Poor appetite, Jaundice, Yellowing eyes, Light colored bowel movements and swelling of the abdomen.
The liver is truly a multifunction organ with hundreds of intricate biochemical processes. It has been suggested that it performs over 500 tasks regulating normal body functions. In his book "Bartrams Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine", Thomas Bartram refers to the liver as "one vast laboratory".
The liver, amongst many other functions, manufactures blood proteins for clotting, stores vitamins, iron and blood sugar for future use. It processes dietary fats, secretes bile, filters blood and plays a major role in removing waste or toxic products from the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine maintains that a healthy liver establishes and maintains a soothing flow of energy through the whole person and equates to calm and well balanced mind. When problems occur the opposite is true – physical and emotional issues are in abundance.
Aggression in alcoholics is normal associated with liver problems although liver disharmony can generate many emotional signs in humans – anger, impatience, resentment, violence, belligerence, stubbornness etc. Physical signs are much more difficult to detect, particularly in our pets, until considerable damage has been done.
Given the huge number of functions the liver performs, it is prudent to say that prevention is better than cure. With regard to diet, repetition is something which readers will become familiar with, in that it is fundamental to the health in general and the liver in particular. There are so many toxins that our pets are exposed to and the liver has to deal with each and every one of them
Low protein is a must for liver problem. Burns products contain highly nutritious whole grain brown rice and lower levels of good quality protein. It is important to remember that the quantity fed must be strictly controlled because the more your pet eats the more protein it takes in.

Specifically, how/why is the NCAA going to allow you to wear those uniforms in your game against Notre Dame?
I am Darth Saban, a poster over on www.rollbamaroll.com. I have nothing against the University of Michigan (except for that one Orange Bowl where we decided not to play pass defense), and have great respect for your University, football team, and traditions.
That being said, the uniforms that the Wolverines plan to wear against Notre Dame on September 10 clearly violate NCAA Rules.
Specifically, the number on the front of the jersey must be at least 8 inches tall and only a single manufacturer's logo is allowed on the uniform. Violation of these rules results in the team being charged a timeout, a delay of game penalty if the team has no more timeouts, and the player is not permitted to play until his uniform is in compliance, and your head coach or his designated representative is required to certify to the umpire before the game that your team is in compliance with these equipment rules, and that the players have been informed of these rules.
To demonstrate that I'm not editorializing here, I shall quote and link the exact rules referenced:
Specifications: Mandatory Equipment
Numerals. The jersey must have clearly visible, permanent Arabic numerals measuring at least 8 and 10 inches in height front and back, respectively, of a color(s) in distinct contrast with the jersey. All players of a team shall have the same color and style numbers front and back. The individual bars must be approximately 1-1/2 inches wide. Numbers on any part of the uniform shall correspond with the mandatory front and back jersey numbers.
[Rule 1-4, Article 4. c. 3]
Mandatory and Illegal Equipment Enforcement
ARTICLE 8. a. No player wearing illegal equipment shall be permitted to play.
b. If an official discovers illegal equipment, the team shall be charged a team timeout. If equipment becomes illegal through play, the player may not participate until corrections are made. There will not be a charged teamtimeout.
c. Each of the first three infractions in a half carries a charged team timeout, if timeouts are available. Any infraction after a team has exhausted its timeouts is a foul for delay of game and carries a five-yard penalty.
[Rule 1-4, Article 8]
Coaches' Certifaction
ARTICLE 9. The head coach or his designated representative shall certify in writing to the umpire before the game that all players:
a. Have been informed what equipment is mandatory by rule and what constitutes illegal equipment.
b. Have been provided the equipment mandated by rule.
c. Have been instructed to wear and how to wear mandatory equipment during the game.
d. Have been instructed to notify the coaching staff when equipment becomes illegal through play during the game.[Rule 1-4, Article 9]
If you don't trust that source, you can find the 2009-2010 rules book on the NCAA website here: www.ncaapublications.com/p-3926-2009-10-ncaa-football-rules-and-interpretations-2-year-publication.aspx. It was basically the same, except that all gloves had to be gray.
So, all personal opinions and aesthetic taste aside, how exactly is Michigan allowed to wear these uniforms?

Jessica is a beautiful player. -McCoy Tyner
The most important pianist to arrive since Bill Evans. -Alun Morgan, Gramophone
Im running out of superlatives to describe her playing! -Humphrey Littleton, BBC
A vibrant force on the contemporary music scene. -Rolling Stone
She should be heard by everyone who cares about jazz. -William Stephenson, Jazziz Magazine
Jessica Williams may be the great living lyric poet of the piano. She is utterly magnificent. -Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News
I will say on record that I think she is the finest pianist of our time. And her records are bar none, the most consistently immaculate and for your hard- earned dollars, a Jessica Williams album is a no-brainer -Fred Jung, All About Jazz
I could review Jessica Williams' newest release in a single phrase - one of the finest solo piano albums I've ever heard ...impeccable taste, remarkable technique, pristine sound and boundless inspiration, but even those descriptions can't adequately delineate the entire package. -Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
This is easy. Jessica Williams doesn't make bad records. -JazzNow, Lawrence Brazier
Certainly she is the most poetic of all living jazz pianists... everyone who has heard her play is a little bit in love with her. -Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News
Jessica Williams is an outstanding jazz talent, and probably the finest improvising pianist in jazz today. -Pat Hawes, Jazz Journal International
Among the most lyrical and expressive pianists in jazz. -Andrew Gilbert, Contra Costa Times
She is simply a pianistic force of nature that will not be denied. As with her previous, releases, this will have a place on my best-of-the-year list. -C. Michael Bailey, All About Jazz
Williams has a beautiful touch, and great fluency of both imagination and execution. -Jazz Review, from a review of the Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center, by Peter Westbrook, Jazz Review
There is nothing Jessica Williams can't do on a piano, and she is one of jazz's most unique, talented and important voices. -Terrell Holmes, All About Jazz
The trio CD Live at Yoshi's: Volume One, recorded in 2003, finds the eclectic veteran demonstrating the rich and varied two-handed interplay that sets Williams apart from her peers. Despite the obvious empathy of the Williams Drummond Lewis triumvirate, the leader's dexterous work leaves little doubt that she could handle the whole shebang all by herself, if need be. - JazzTimes Review, January 2005, Steve Futterman

If you think just in terms of your stomach, crustaceans are some of the most important marine animals to humans. Because of their prevalence as a prey source, they are important to other marine life, too. Here you can learn more about crustaceans.
Crustaceans include commonly-known marine life such as crabs, lobsters, barnacles and shrimp. These animals are in the Phylum Arthropoda (the same phylum as insects) and Subphylum Crustacea. According to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, there are over 52,000 species of crustaceans.
Characteristics of Crustaceans:
All crustaceans have a hard exoskeleton, which protects the animal from predators and prevents water loss. However, exoskeletons can't grow as the animal inside them grows, so crustaceans are forced to molt as they grow larger. During molting, a soft exoskeleton forms underneath the old one and the old exoskeleton is shed. Since the new exoskeleton is soft, this is a vulnerable time for the crustacean until the new exoskeleton hardens.
Many crustaceans, such as American lobster have a distinct head, a thorax, and an abdomen, However, these body parts aren't distinct in some crustaceans, such as the barnacle. Crustaceans have gills for breathing.
Crustaceans have two pairs of antennae. They have mouths made up of one pair of mandibles (which are eating appendages behind the crustacean's antennae) and two pairs of maxillae (mouth parts located after the mandibles).
Most crustaceans are free-ranging, like lobsters and crabs, and some even migrate long distances. But some, like barnacles, are sessile - they live attached to a hard substrate most of their lives.
Crustacean Classification:
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Subphylum:Crustacea
- Classes: (According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS):
- Branchiopoda (branchiopods)
- Cephalocarida (horseshoe shrimp)
- Malacostraca (the class that includes decapods - crabs, lobsters, and shrimps)
- Maxillopoda (which includes copepods and barnacles)
- Ostracoda (seed shrimp)
- Remipedia (remipedes
- Pentastomida (tongue worms).
Where To Find Crustaceans
If you're looking for crustaceans to eat, look no further than your local grocery store or fish market. But seeing them in the wild is almost as easy. If you'd like to see a wild marine crustacean, visit your local beach or tide pool and look carefully under rocks or seaweed, where you might find a crab or even small lobster hiding. You might also find some small shrimp paddling around. Click here for some tips for your tide pooling excursion.
In a broader sense, marine crustaceans can be found throughout the oceans, in tropical to frigid waters. Have you seen the cold weather inhabited by the king and snow crabs featured on Deadliest Catch?
How Do Crustaceans Feed, and What Do They Eat?
With thousands of species, there is a wide variety of feeding techniques among crustaceans. Some, like crabs and lobsters, are active predators, some are scavengers, feeding on animals that are already dead. And some, like barnacles, remain in place and filter plankton from the water.
How Do Crustaceans Reproduce?
Most crustaceans are dioecious, meaning individuals are male or female. Reproduction varies among species.
Importance of Crustaceans
Crustaceans are important to humans as a source of food - imagine a seafood restaurant without lobster, shrimp or crab.
But they are also important in the ocean food chain as a prey source for a variety of animals, including whales, fish, and pinnipeds.
Examples of Crustaceans
Here are some examples of crustaceans, along with facts about each:
- Acadian Hermit Crab
- American Lobster
- Copepod
- Ghost Crab
- Hawaiian Brown Slipper Lobster
- Pillbugs
- Sally Lightfoot Crab
- Skeleton Shrimp
- Spider Crab

NY unveils revised Freedom Tower
New York officials have unveiled a revised design for the skyscraper that will replace the World Trade Center, following fears over security.
The Freedom Tower is being built on the site of the Twin Towers destroyed in the 11 September 2001 attacks.
Architects redesigned it after police expressed concern that the 1,776-foot (540-metre) building could be vulnerable to truck bomb attacks.
Under new plans it is further from the road and has a strengthened structure.
The redesign calls for a concrete and steel pedestal, clad in ornamental metalwork, and topped by a tower of glass.
The building is capped with a mast incorporating an antenna, which is meant to evoke the torch of the Statue of Liberty.
"This new design reflects a soaring tribute to freedom and a bedrock commitment to safety and security," New York Governor George Pataki said.
The symbolic height - which in feet refers to the year of the American Declaration of Independence - is one of the few features left from the initial plans.
The building's chief architect said he felt better about the new one than the original.
"It is unique, yet it subtly recalls, in the sky, the tragedy that has happened here," David Childs said.

Decatur - If a deal isn't met, possibly 100 air traffic control towers would be shut down.
If that happens, pilot Tim Hill said it will be a big headache for pilots, dispatchers, and passengers.
That would force pilots to handle scheduling landing and take-offs with each other.
"It would turn them into an uncontrolled airport. The thing with an uncontrolled field is there is no one there to give each pilot specific instructions on what route to fly or what pattern to fly to arrive at the airport. So we would actually have to, while we're flying, coordinate with other pilots," Hill told WAND News.
Some smaller airports around the U.S. already have this in place, but not some airports in central Illinois, like Springfield and Bloomington.
Hill also said, with cuts like this more time will be taken causing more delays, something he pilots hate and irritates passengers.

Folks in Denison, Iowa were treated to a "Tonight Show" flashback. They traveled back in time to the days when the legendary Johnny Carson entertained people across the country.
The Donna Reed Foundation for the Performing Arts hosted an event called "Heeere's Johnny II!" It's a reenactment of "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. It was part of a tribute to Iowa icons.
Carson, born in Corning, Iowa and attended school in Norfolk, Nebraska, went on to host "The Tonight Show" for 30 years until his retirement in 1992.
Jim Malmberg, a former news anchorman, looks like and sounds like the legendary Johnny Carson. He entertained a crowd of more than 330 at the Donna Reed Theatre. The stage was transformed to look like the late-night set.
KTIV's Kristie VerMulm was his celebrity guest. She answered some questions about her own TV bloopers and offered up some of the interesting things she's learned in her agriculture background.
During Crawford County Naturalist Kelly Sonnichsen's interview segment, she brought a few critters with her onto the stage. The audience was humored by "Johnny's" interaction with a hedgehog, an albino snake and a very large tarantula.
Malmberg also did his rendition of "Carnac the Magnificent" which drew several laughs from the audience. Don Luensmann played a good sidekick for the show.
The event was put on by the Donna Reed Foundation. It's the fourth in the "American Icon Series - Focus on Iowa." The next event will focus on Iowa singers and songwriters. It's scheduled for March 23.

What Colour Are You?
Additional Info
I have been thinking of the colour of things, people (not in terms of race) and of emotion.
After a fun filled day of indulgence with my 5 year old - art in the park, an amazing organic cafe lunch (MY idea of heaven) and then a movie - I think my colour is red.
The colour just came to me and although it is often associated with anger, it is also associated with passion. Today my passion was all about fun. I feel as though I have nourished my mind (hey, I'm writing this aren't I?), my soul (the look on my daughters face was awesome to say the least) and my body (lunch was unreal).
That is my true passion, the holy grail of fulfillment of mind, soul and body. This will always be different for everyone, and tolerance and acceptance of each others differences is always key when discussing this topic.
At the moment, my home is clean (although extremely messy at this point in time!), my curtains don't match and there are a number of 'things to be done'………….BUT I have a fridge full of fresh food that will nourish my body, I am following my dreams and I am surrounded by people that love me.
The curtains, mess and 'things to be done' will not be something that I remember in 10 years time - I may be living in this house, or I may not be - but I will certainly be living in this body/mind and soul though.
So how do you fulfill the three biggies???
Starting with an unprocessed diet, clean water, exercise you enjoy (surfing!) and empowering relationships will enrich your life tenfold.
Lets give this more thought than the other stuff.
So my colour today is red - tomorrow it may be green……….but it will not be the colour I aspire to have as curtains!!!!
Whats your colour today????

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. plans to build a new office tower in downtown Milwaukee.
The 840,000-square-foot building could be more than 30 stories. The company says the tower would replace Northwestern Mutual's 16-story building and would be built once the existing building is demolished.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/Uoql6x) reports Northwestern Mutual plans to seek $48 million in city financing for the $300 million project. The new building would be completed in 2017.
Company executives and city officials say the downtown project would retain 1,100 employees now housed at the building that would be razed. Northwestern Mutual currently has 3,600 downtown employees and expects to add up to 1,700 additional downtown employees by 2027.
The life insurance and financial services company also has 2,000 employees at its Franklin campus.

Whenever I sleep with a bobby-pin in my hair, I almost always wake up having come up with a brilliant idea! The key to this, however, is that it has to be an accident, I can't just put a bobby-pin in my hair and go to sleep (believe me, I've tried) it has to be pure serendipity coupled with an absentminded bedtime routine that leaves the pin in place, kind of like a genius antenna. It really works. My most creative ideas are implanted by bobby-pins.

Hahaha! That's great.
My first encounter with a bobby pin was at age 2 or 3 when I plugged it into a wall outlet. I still have a scar on my finger. It gave me the great idea to never try THAT again...
- May 08, 2006
Just great... I don't even know if I own a bobbypin, much less ever accidently leaving it in my hair. (The last time I wore a bobbypin was at my wedding almost 5 years ago). I feel like Charley Brown: I will never have a great idea now...

bobby pins? I'm in need of a good idea. perhaps one day I'll unknowingly leave one in my hair.

Thats funny! Usually good ideas or answers come to me when I'm sleeping and dreaming. I remember I didn't study for a final exam one time and I dreaming I was studying and the next morning it was like I had studied for ten hours the day before. It was amazing. One day I'll have to see if bobby pins work for me :P

Oil-to-gas conversion Portland MaineGreetings! I'm a newbie here (which will soon be obvious). The Dan Holohan books helped give me confidence to buy my 1908 house in Portland two years ago. I have oil-fired one-pipe steam. Love the radiators, some of which I've had sandblasted and repainted. The Boiler is labeled Texaco Fuel Chief, Model FCS6500 with a net IBR rating of 139.100 and is fired by a Carlin Suntec A2VA-7116. The system has been working fine, but oil is expensive and the oil technician dates the boiler to the 1970's.
I'm looking for contractors in the area to convert me from oil to natural gas, I'm already a gas customer. There are three contractors (whom I have contacted or tried to contact) who are listed within 50 miles of Portland, but none in town, which seems funny to me. So my questions are: Anyone else I should call for an estimate? Would it ever make sense or even be possible to retain the boiler but replace the oil-burning gun with a gas one?

possible, but...It's possible in theory to replace an oil burner with a gas one on many boilers, but given the age of yours I don't think most would recommend it. I made such a change on my boiler last year, but it's less than ten years old so made sense to continue operating it (and not have to re-pipe for a new boiler). With a boiler over 30 years old that has unknown maintenance history, you're probably best off just starting with a new boiler.

Depending on who actually made that boilerfor Texaco, it could be newer than that. I seem to remember these were re-branded Dunkirk or Utica boilers.
Anyway, if you put a gas burner in and the boiler goes up in a few years, you can probably transfer the burner to a new boiler. We've done that."Reducing our country's energy consumption, one system at a time"

makers of Texaco-labelled boilersThanks Steamhead, I've been told that Burnham and Dunkirk made boilers branded as Texaco Fuel Chief. I'll add Utica to that.
OK, I'm sort of back to the beginning, needing a consultation with an expert or two!

I bought 3 and hung them in varying heights - looks great. Easy to install, but not as easy to adjust the shape of the cloud.

This is as awesome as it looks in the photo. It takes a bit of effort to get the shape to poof out just right but it is so worth the effort.

Martuz from Beverly Hills– Verified Buyer
I have been thinking of purchasing this lamp for a long time, but I was concerned about money...I looked for a while for another alternative lighting fixture, but I could find a better looking one. I love the organic and soft shape. I put it in my bedroom and it looks great. Yes, I spent some $$$ but I LOVE it :)
beautiful, unusual
little family from philadelphia– Verified Buyer
We hung this in our small dining room with a dimmer switch (this really makes the light -- having it on with just a tiny bit of light is gorgeous). It's incredibly easy to install, and I was able to turn it and find the "face" i wanted to see most - quite adjustable.

How I made walls bleed for Medea:
For a recent production of Medea, the walls of the set needed to bleed as Medea murders her children. After trying several methods, I settled on a VARI-LITE® VL1000TS™ with an Apollo "Yarn" gobo. By closing the lower shutter completely with the yarn gobo oriented vertically, I slowly opened the shutter as the fixture moved down the wall, colored in blood red. This gave the look of streaks of blood trickling down the wall. As it hit the floor and continued moving, static gobos continued the effect across the floor in different directions with blood pools appearing as the streaks passed.

How I turned radio communication chaos into a smooth, beautifully choreographed symphony at the push of a button:
Two-way radio is an important and useful tool for everyone during an event or a production, but it can become a nightmare. I noticed the director was becoming annoyed with the use of his two-way radio. There seemed to be two gaffers named Jimmy who kept missing their cues and a fellow by the name of Joe who could not be contacted. As the director was searching through the radio channels, shouting obscenities, looking very frustrated, I thought to myself, "Wow! What a chaotic waste of time!" And then I heard it. CRASH!! Sliding by my foot was a piece of the now destroyed radio that met its fate with anger and velocity on the production floor.
So, I invented Director-Patch, a software-driven organization tool for radio communications. This tool allows discriminately, sequentially, precisely choreographed communication of all personnel with the touch of a button!

How I deconstructed a box set with three ETC Source Fours:
One way we used to demonstrate the optics of the ETC Source Four was to push the side shutters in until they were almost touching. You end up with a line that's bright, high contrast, with no hour-glassing and no bowing. Years later, I needed a way to take one scene in a box set and make it not be in a box set. We've all heard, "Make the set go away with light." All the more difficult in a small theatre. I took all three Source Fours and hung them front of house. I used one as a special on the leads down center and took the other two and focused them sharp into a tiny sliver of a line from floor to ceiling into the corners of the box set. The contrast created by the fixtures in such a small space removed the visual structure of the box set and put us someplace yet unexplored within the confines of the play. The set virtually disappeared from our conscious mind as it looked like the corners were actually generating light from within.

How I learned, the hard way, to check a fire alarm system:
One Sunday afternoon, the tech director of an old converted movie theatre "on the square" in downtown Bowling Green, KY, had unlocked the local theatre for me to do some lighting programming on my intelligent lighting system, which was set up for an upcoming show. He had another gig to do, so he locked me alone in the building. I got my fog machines blasting to give that perfect thick atmosphere and then set to work. I went down to the stage to lower the rear cyc (in the dark) and reached to turn on the lights on that box next to the door. WHOOPS. It was the fire alarm, and I just hit it without thinking. With all the alarms blasting in my ears, I made a mad scramble to the tech booth and the phone to stop the fire department from coming with trucks blaring. Turns out they didn't have a connection to them anyway, so I worried for nothing. Then, I realized that "fog" was probably streaming from the vents, and the building was reverberating with the loud alarms, and I feared that some passerby would call the fire department for sure! I called them again to fully explain the situation. So, I learned how to disable the system, which was a good thing to know!

August 27, 2004
Lowndes County - It's a day nine-year-old Kenyata Johnson has looked forward to all week. "I've been riding on the swamp thing and bumper cars," said Kenyata.
That may not sound like the typical school day for most kids, but today is different. Kenyata is one of 550 Lowndes County youngsters getting the royal treatment at the United Way's annual Day of Caring. "It's a day to show the public and have the community come together to see what United Way is all about," said Nicole Holder, Director.
Each child is partnered with a volunteer from a local business. It didn't take Kenyata long to warm up to her buddy Angela Barker, even though their tolerance for wild rides may be a little different. "She's nice and funny," said Kenyata.
But today is about much more than just riding rides and getting a break from school, its about giving these kids a positive relationship with a role model, that will last long after the Day of Caring is over. "Its a year long process, you don't just touch this child's life for a day, you want to really try and make a difference," said Barker.
And the kids aren't the only one benefiting from this experience. "It makes me even more grateful for what my kids have and for what I can do to help the community," said Barker.
So when the day ends and Kenyata has to head back to the classroom, she'll remember "There are a lot of people who love and appreciate her," said Barker.
And she'll have a new mentor and friend she can count on.
