Below an interesting article on African animal names
What's in an Animal's Name?
By Rael Loon, Kruger Park Times
What's in an animal's name? Most of us are familiar with many of South African animals common names or descriptive names. Some of the keener naturalists refer to animals by their Latin or scientific name. These can be of particular interest as many of the common names are derived from the Latin name. Afrikaans names are also wonderfully descriptive in their translations. It is always interesting to try to find out some of the origins of these names. For example is there a connection between monk and monkey?
Is there a connection between spied and spider? Bat and bat-an-eyelid? Horse and hoarse? Aardvark as earthpig? Hippopotamus is literally translated as 'river horse' in Greek or 'seacow' in Afrikaans. Not too many of us, however, are familiar with the derivation of many of the African names. Credo Mutwa explains some of these in his book "Isilwane – The animal", while several Tsonga idioms provide a rich interpretation of some familiar African names…
King of the Beasts
For example ingonyame, the Zulu word for lion means 'the master of all flesh'. This name consists of two words, ngo, meaning very high, and nyama, which means 'flesh' or power. Another Zulu term for lion is ibubesi, which comes from the verb bhubeza meaning 'to make the final decision', supporting the belief that the lion is king of the beasts. In Tsonga, 'ku va nghala', 'to be a lion' refers to being brave and 'ku lwa xinghala' translates 'to fight like a lion'.
The Noble Leopard
All African tribes regard the leopard as an animal that symbolizes all that is noble, courageous and honorable. It is called ingwe by the Zulus and nkwe by the Basutos. These words originally meant 'pure sovereignty' or 'pure kingship'. In very ancient times, a king who supposedly ruled over other kings among the Botswana tribes was called nkwetona.
The Unstoppable One
African people regard the elephant with a very deep reverence. The Zulu, Tswana and Tsonga names for the elephant all mean 'the forceful one', 'the unstoppable one'. In Zulu the name for an elephant is indlovu, from the verb dlovu, which means to 'crash through', 'to pierce savagely'. The Tswana and Sotho word for elephant, tlou, and the Tsonga word njovu also carry this meaning. Several Tsonga idioms provide food for thought: 'ku ba ndlopfu hi xibakele' translates to 'hit an elephant with a fist', i.e. 'to make a very slight impression'. 'Nkari wa mahlemba – ndlopfu' means 'the time of the elephants bath', ie 'the early hours before dawn'.
The Uncontrollable One
The hippopotamus is regarded by African people as a symbol of rebellion, uncontrollability and unruliness. The Tswana name for the animal is kubu which means 'rebellion' or 'rebelliousness'. It also means 'sudden awakening' which in Setswana is kubuga. African people also believe that the hippo is an animal of confusion because it cannot make up its mind whether it is a rhinoceros or an elephant. The Zulu people call the hippo invubu. This word has several meanings one of which has to do with mixing from the verb vuba which means 'to mix', 'to knit together ' or 'to combine'. In this sense the word invubu means 'the mixed up creature' or the creature which is unable to make up its mind what it is!
A Champion Fighter
Two idioms dealing with crocodiles are 'kuva ngwenya emutini' - to be a croc in the village - implies 'to be a champion fighter', whilst 'ku tshama ni ngwenya emutini' translates 'to live with a dangerous person in the village.'
To Outshine
The Bakgatla is a tribe that live in the North West Province and Botswana. At one time, the Bakgatlas were one of the most powerful Tswana-speaking tribes in Southern Africa. They regard the monkey as a totem and call it kgathla or kgabu, which means; 'to dazzle', 'to outshine' or to 'impress very deeply '. The monkey is known as 'the impressive one' or 'the one who outshines all'. Kgabu comes from the kgaba or kgabesa, which means to 'decorate richly '.
When Bakgatla people wish the king or chief a long and prosperous life, they use the following words: 'May it climb the tallest tree and eat the gum of long life, the monkey.' Baboon in Zulu is called imfene. This word comes from the verb fana which means 'to resemble'. This implicitly means 'that which resembles a human being! 'Ku banana hi rhambu mfene' means in Tsonga 'to hit each other with a baboon's bone', i.e. 'to exchange gifts with relatives only'.
The Purifier
South African people know the hyena by its Zulu name, impisi , while some tribes in Zimbabwe call it sisi. These words literally mean 'the purifier ', 'the cleaner', 'the one who makes things orderly '. This name is indicative of the hyena's tendency to tidy up the carcasses on which it feeds. In Sestwana the hyena is called sephiri or phiri. This means the 'animal of the secret' because the hyena moves in secret usually in darkness and silently. The Shangaan people associate the hyena with evil and witchcraft. 'Ku va mhisi', in Tsonga means to be a hyena, i.e. a hard and fearless worker. 'Ku va ni matimaba ya mhisi,' i.e. 'to have the strength of a hyena', that is to be strong and evil.
The Humble One
The eland appears in hundreds of fables and legends. We are all familiar with eland figures being decorated in Bushman rock art. Zulu-speaking people call the eland impofu, which is a word with several meanings. One is 'golden-skinned one'; another is 'poor one' or the 'humble one'. In Zulu, to be poor is mpfou and a poor person is regarded as mpofana. Poverty was equated with humility in ancient times.
The Bastawana and Sothos called the eland pofu, which means the same thing. Other antelope with symbolic names include the Sable which is called inkolongwane in Zulu which means 'the ululating'. In Sesotho it is called mugulukwane, and apparently in old Setswana and Sesotho gulukwane which means 'the one over whom people ululate.'
Ugly But Honoured
Despite its ugly appearance, African people hold the wildebeest in such reverence that the Zulu word for wildebeest: nkonkoni is used to denote a champion or leader in any field. The wisest and greatest traditional healer in any community is always called the 'inkonkoni'. The best football player in any township is always nicknamed 'nkonkoni' in tribute to his football skills.
The Feared One
The chameleon is feared and revered by many African people. The Zulu people call the chameleon inwabu, which means 'the one who moves very lazily'. Another name, which people call the chameleon is libido, a strange term which has to do with decay: buhodu, 'the rotting one' or 'the one who causes decay '. In Tsonga, 'ku va ni mahiri ya lampfana', means to have the tricks of a chameleon ', ie to be a liar.
Several other idioms dealing with reptiles include ones dealing with tortoises and snakes: 'Ku dlokodla nyoka', 'to poke at a snake', i.e. to provoke a peaceful person. 'Ku dlokodla mfutsu' translates to 'to poke at a tortoise', that is to put someone on the alert. 'Ku siya hi mfutsu', 'to be outrun by a tortoise', to be exceedingly slow. 'Ku twa nyoka', to 'hear the snake', ie to feel hungry. 'Ku miyeta nyoka, 'to quiten the snake', that is to eat.
Always A Twist
As can be seen there is much more to an animal's name that normally meets the eye. The English, Afrikaans, Latin, Zulu, Tsonga, Sesotho and Setswana interpretation all tell their own story giving a truly First World versus Third World cosmopolitan mix of perceptions of some of South Africa's wildlife. There is always a twist to these animals' tales! Searching for the origins of these names can be a creative and rewarding exercise. Remembering a few of these stories and idioms about some of these.

Field Guides are taught to use the african names for animals especially when speaking to each other on their radios, this is so that their clients don't understand and don't encourage them to speed to a sighting.
It works in the private game reserves as only three vehicles are usually allowed at a sighting, as one leaves another is invited to move in.

Which languages do you need? The eleven official languages are:
Northern Sotho
Northern Ndebele
Sign Language
Khoe, Nama and San
Dictionaries and wordlists
If you use the links that start with http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org you get a fairly nifty page, going the wrong way though, from the SA language to English, but you can enter the name you're looking for in the search, scroll down the page and look for it there.
Example: Elephant gives
Swahili tembo, ndovu
Swazi ín-dlovu
Shona nzou

Buffalo is indeed "Inyati"
I have little knowledge of black language, excuse spelling.
Lion = Tau
Elephant = Tlou
Baboon = Ntwene
Monkey = Kgabo
Kudu = Tholo
I think this is more the Limpopo peoples language.
Will think of more, and try to help

Parent Hacks admin: Tending the pipeline
I'm at work on the back end of Parent Hacks, trying to build a more efficient system for responding to and pipelining your hacks.
I've tried to stop apologizing about my queue of unpublished hacks (because enough already, I know) but it's still here, waiting to see the light of day. You are incredibly patient, but I still feel bad that people have to wait so long to see their hacks published (or wonder if they will ever be published). The ongoing puzzle my current system doesn't solve is getting your hacks published while managing incoming hacks and queries without overwhelming you with too many posts per day.
The long-term solution will come in the form of a redesign, which is underway right now. But in the meantime, here's what I'm doing:
- I've divided my email stream among three addresses: email@example.com (for hack and link submissions), email@example.com (for product review requests), and firstname.lastname@example.com (for everything else).
- I've set up some autoresponders to let you know right away what's up when you submit a hack or review request.
- Most importantly, some wonderful Parenthackers will be contributing to the site, including Adrienne and Jim, hedra, Jill, Kristi, Megin and Heather. More about these folks in an upcoming post!
As always, I want to thank you for all of your incredible hacks and comments. My streamlining and autoresponders do NOT mean I want to be less involved in the conversation here -- just the opposite. I want to spend MORE time with you and less time on the administrivia. You're the ones that make Parent Hacks what it is -- and I am thrilled to be a part of it. (I know, enough already.)

Bishops say show exploits, degrades those whose bodies are on display
By Jack Smith
Catholic News Service
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (CNS) -- Two Catholic prelates said they regard the exhibit "Bodies Revealed" that opened Feb. 29 in Kansas City as "an unfortunate exploitation of that which is 'real' to teach something that could be accomplished by use of models."
"As such it represents a kind of 'human taxidermy' that degrades the actual people who, through their bodies, once lived, loved, prayed and died," said Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas and Bishop Robert W. Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph.
"For these reasons, we do not believe that this exhibit is an appropriate destination for field trips by our Catholic schools," they added.
The exhibit features an array of human bodies in various poses, all preserved through a process of polymer preservation. Various preserved organs are also in the exhibit, which will be at Kansas City's Union Station through Sept. 1.
The bishops explained that "Catholic moral teaching regards the human person as a unity of soul and body, spirit and matter -- beings capable of freedom and love in communion with other persons and with God."
"As such, the body is more than just a vessel for the soul. The church's concern for human dignity extends to the body even after the soul is no longer present," they said.
The two church leaders said that "the bodies of the dead deserve respect and charity, preserving the God-given dignity of the human person."
They acknowledged the church "does allow for -- and in some cases commends -- the conscientious free choice of persons to 'donate' their bodies for legitimate scientific research and educational purposes. In these instances, the deceased body and its parts deserve respectful interment."
Atlanta-based Premier Exhibitions is the organizer of the Kansas City show; it also produces a show titled "Bodies: The Exhibition," which just opened at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Both shows, say their promoter, are aimed at educating people about the human body and how to take better care of their health.
A competing show called "Body Worlds" also has been on tour in the United States and other countries. It was put together by Gunther von Hagens, a German anatomist who invented a plastination process for preserving bodies.
Questions have been raised about the source of some of the cadavers, namely for "Bodies: The Exhibition," considered to have the higher profile of Premier's two shows.
On Feb. 15, following a three-month investigation, ABC's "20/20" aired a story about the Chinese sources of the specimens. Human rights groups have alleged some of them are executed prisoners.
In a statement about the Kansas City exhibit released before the "20/20" show, Union Station's president and CEO, Andi Udris, acknowledged the exhibit would raise questions. But he said Premier Exhibitions "assured us that the all of the bodies and organ specimens on display in 'Bodies Revealed' were procured from individuals who willingly and knowingly chose to donate their bodies to science."
"Those individuals made their anatomical gifts to accredited medical universities in the People's Republic of China, and all specimens were then received by the Nanjing Suyi Plastination Laboratories in Nanjing, China," Udris said.
However, "Premier Exhibitions has never made (it a) secret that specimens used in 'Bodies: The Exhibition' may be unclaimed or unidentified specimens," Udris added.
Reporter Brian Ross found that contrary to Premier's earlier assertions that specimens for its "Bodies: The Exhibition" show were procured from Dalian Medical University, they had in fact come from Dr. Hong Jin Sui's Dalian Medical University Plastination Co., a for-profit, private company 30 miles from Dalian Medical University.
"20/20" visited the facility and found technicians working on the bodies of both animals and humans. When reporter Ross asked the company manager where the bodies come from and whether they were executed, the manager said he didn't know.
The show also found that Premier Exhibitions avoids laws pertaining to shipping human remains by labeling them "plastic models" on shipping documents.
Congressman Chris Smith, R-N.J., who has played a key role in promoting human rights reforms in China and elsewhere, told ABC the collection of "unclaimed" bodies in China for plastination shows "has every mark of executions and abuse."
In an interview with The Catholic Key, newspaper of the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese, Smith's spokesman, Ryan Goodwin, said the congressman is preparing a number of responses, including asking the House Foreign Affairs Committee to hold a hearing on the issue. Smith is a member of the committee.
Smith also is drafting legislation to require independent certification that specimens in "Bodies" shows come from donors who have given consent.
In California, Democratic Assemblywoman Fiona Ma from San Francisco is sponsoring legislation in California demanding documentation of consent from donors before "Bodies" exhibitions can be shown in the state. Similar legislation is being considered in Washington and Pennsylvania.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has launched his own investigation of Premier Exhibitions to determine the methods used to obtain the bodies exhibited in the United States. Premier says it will cooperate with the investigation.

Guest blog by Louise Murray, DVM DACVIM, Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital and author of "Vet Confidential: An Insider's Guide to Protecting Your Pet's Health"
Diabetes is a real problem for cats in this country, but the good news is that we now have a much better understanding of this condition, and even better, we can cure it in many cases. Best of all, we are learning how to prevent it, which is the ideal strategy for a healthy, happy cat.
Cause: It's now believed that many cases of feline diabetes are caused by excess carbohydrates in the diet. Dry cat foods in particular can be high in carbohydrates. Cats are not designed to properly metabolize carbohydrates, and cats on dry food may become obese. Additionally, the excess of carbs forces the pancreas, the organ that produces insulin, to overwork. Over time, the pancreas can become exhausted, and lose the ability to make sufficient insulin. This lack of insulin causes diabetes.
Treatment: Most diabetic cats have not permanently lost the ability to produce insulin. In order to rest the pancreas and allow it to return to normal function, cats are given twice-daily insulin injections. It's essential to carefully regulate diabetes so the cat receives the proper amount of insulin to restore the function of the pancreas while avoiding low blood sugar, a potential side effect of insulin treatment.
The second essential component of treatment is the cat's diet. For the best chance of curing diabetes, most cats should eat a canned diet formulated for diabetes, or a canned kitten food. Be sure to consult with your veterinarian regarding the best diet for your own cat.
A note of caution: Cats who refuse to eat can become very ill. Any diet changes must be made cautiously, with careful monitoring of the appetite.
For optimal treatment of diabetic cats, it may be advisable to consult with a veterinary internal medicine specialist. We have two on staff at the ASPCA Animal Hospital: Dr. Pomrantz and Dr. Frank. To find a veterinary internist in your local area go to www.acvim.org.
Prevention: We all know that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For diabetes prevention as well as urinary tract and digestive health, we advise feeding cats canned food in meals, rather than allowing them to graze on dry food. Just remember that when attempting to make any change in a cat's diet, such as from dry to canned food, patience and caution are essential. Never allow a cat to "hunger strike," which can cause serious illness.
For more information about keeping kitty healthy, or to make an appointment for your pet, please visit the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
I have a nine year old Neutered male cat who was diagnosed with diabetes this summer. I have spent so much money on vet bills (over $2,000) trying to get his blood sugar regulated. He weighed 17 pounds at the time he was diagnosed, he was not fat he is just a very big kitty. He now weighs 13-1/2 pounds and is receiving 5-1/2 units of insulin twice a day. He still drinks a lot of water, urinates way too much (I have to change his litter box 3-4 times a day) and he sometimes pees on the floor, furniture or what ever he wants to. I changed his moist food to Fancy Feast Classic and a little Fancy Feast dry food.
Where did you find the organic brewers yeast? I have to try something else because I just retired and my income has decreased substantially. What kind of grain free food do you feed you little girl? I need all the help and suggestions I can get. Thank you
Can you tell me how many ounces of can food should I feed my cat if I want to switch and how many times per day (if more than once?) Thank you!
A wonderful food for cats with Diabetes is a raw food diet. If you can afford it, you can buy ready made frozen versions (brands like Natures Variety make a wonderful frozen raw food). Raw food has less than 5% carbohydrates, compared to dry cat foods 40-50% carbohydrates. If you cant afford to buy the ready made stuff, but you have free time, pick up a book like Dr. Becker's Real Food for Healthy Cats and Dogs. Or Dr. Ian Billinghursts BARF Diet (bones and raw food). These teach you how to make a completely balanced raw food diet at home!
You could also go 50-50. 50% Raw frozen diet, and 50% canned wet food.
My cat was diagnosed with diabetes and put on insulin. We did some research and learned of the high carb connection and transitioned her to a low carb diet of the canned pate type food. Within 3 weeks of diagnosis, she was completely off insulin and has remained that way for 10 mos so far. If your cat is currently on insulin, and you want to change its diet, it's VERY IMPORTANT to consult with your vet first to work on a strategy to reduce their insulin. When you reduce the carbs in the diet they will need far less insulin and you don't want them to have a hyoglycemic event which can easily lead to death. We monitor her glucose at home with a meter and check the carb content and ingredients of any wet food we give her; foods with gravy all have too much carb, the pate ground foods are mostly ok. There is now a "Zero carb" dry food for cats from a specialty manufacturer and we have used this successfully to supplement the wet pate food.
I want to ad that the food we feed her is mostly the 12 flavors of Fancy Feast Classics--these are the small cans with the pate type food that say "Classic" along the bottom of the label...the "Grilled" or "Elegant Medleys" or "Sliced", "Grilled", "Gravy Lovers", "Marinated Morsels" or "Mornings" are NOT SUITABLE for managing diabetes. We also feed Friskies pate foods. The Zero Carb dry cat food I'm referring to is made by YoungAgainPetFood.com, you can find it from web search. I feed 3-4 small wet meals a day (1.5-2oz)and leave out a couple Tablespoons of dry for her to graze on so she doesn't have to process big meals which might spike her insulin. Now that she is off insulin and on this diet I test her insulin at home 2-3 mornings per week, very easy once you get the hang of it. The website that helped me most with this was felinediabetes.com. Their message board is excellent and full of people willing to help you get your cat regulated and hopefully off insulin. They also will point you to lists of commercial cat foods that are low carb and suitable for helping managing diabetes. Raw food is nice if you are ambitious, but there are economical commercial solutions which might be more convenient for you -- you don't have to buy special pricey "diabetic" food from your vet (which often is high carb!)
I've had a pair of litter mates, both of whom became diabetic although the other two cats in the household eating the same diet did not develop diabetes. So, likely there is a genetic predisposition for the two w/ diabetes. One died of lymphoma but the other is still with me.
Have done the home blood glucose testing and insulin shots for some years. Experimented with diet and have managed to get the remaining diabetic cat off insulin and glucose levels in good control with the following mix of foods:
1/2 the food offered is low carbohydrate canned food
1/2 the food offered is a zero carb dry food
Yes, there is a dry food with zero carbohydrates. It took me years to find it and it is available only online at this time. I found it at www.youngagainpetfood.com With my veterinarian's permission, I switched to that dry food about nine months ago and have had excellent results.
NOTE: I am NOT affiliated in any way whatsoever with Young Again Pet Food. I merely am a consumer who is so far cautiously satisfied with using their zero carb cat food. If you have a diabetic cat and think you may wish to try using it for your cat, please consult your physician first!!!
I will say that feeding presciption diabetic cat foods, such as those from Hill's Prescription cat foods, Science Diet, and Royal Canin did not work well for my cats and, in fact, made their diabetes worse in some cases. But then, not all cats will respond quite the same so you need to keep an open mind.
However, I will say I believe that had I found this zero carb cat food years earlier, the other diabetic cat might have responded well to it, had less inflammation of the pancreas caused by diabetes and might not have developed fatal lymphoma in the pancreas from the chronic inflammation. That is mere speculation on my part but I can't help wondering if my poor kitty might have survived without pain and with a good quality of life had I found the zero carb food earlier. I'll never know and cannot know. But I am certain that my remaining diabetic cat is doing well with the zero carb dry food as half his diet.
I wonder why modern cats can't eat fresh or boiled fish and/or meat like liver instead of all the unnatural canned and dried foods.
My mother would buy a big fish' head, boil it with a slice of wholewheat bread and some green veggies and our big male cat would eat from it for one week.
He never had any sicknesses!

I have a two fold challange... I have two cats 1) 12-yr old diabetic in stable and happy remission 2) a 13yr old newly diagnosed hyper thyroid girl kitty.
My 12 yr old orange tabby was a sugar kitty breifly but changing his food emmediately and sustably has put hid diabesetes in remission. I check his blood and ketone now and then but after 6 months no reasons for concern have cropped up.. Good news.
But 3 or 4 months into the food change my Grey and white short hair tabby went from the occasionl grass induced vomit to now vomitting almost daily to some degree. After a vet visit and testing it turns out she has become hyper thyriod. Her organs and over all health otherwise are in great shape axxording to the vet. Studies show indoor (mine or both innies & outies) cats who eat canned cat food are much more likely to become hyper thyroid. There are many possible reason....daisy might be have become hyperthyroid regardless of canned food but it has me thinking. My pure bred siamese ate dry most his life and lived to be 22. I'd like to find a dry food for diabetic cats. Maybe switch to a rawmeat- dry mix to see if this helps Daisy the 13 yr thyriod kitty since Tigger orange ex-sugar kitty can eat that . This would remove the possible toxins from metal-canned food. I use the Evo- hi protein. Not sure if all canned food have the inside coating that has been linked to possible thyroid issues.
I will likely end up doing the iodine nuclear treatment if food change doesn't work or i find I cant pull it off. The iodine treatment while successful has side affect while % wise are low still concern me. Its not easy being a grown- up... Regardless of who you are taking care. And introducing radiation into the solution is not fun. But maybe the best long term solution. Sorry for not going into too many detils. Those who know what Im talking about with out a lengthy explanation will be the ones who have the knowledge to to helpfully respond.
Anyone with experience for Hyperthyroid kitty's that might be helpful, your comments would be appreciated.

Professional display review ranks the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen at the top of popular tablets
Using stuff like "narrow collimated pencil beam of light" to measure such simple things as screen reflection, up to photometers and measurement of chromacity coordinates for the white-point color temperature, DisplayMate comes to a pretty accurate picture of what each display is capable of. For example, all of the examined five tablets had a narrow color gamut, ranging from 55 to 64% of the standard one, with the best coverage exhibited from Samsung's tablet.
What was found in the end is that the new PLS-LCD screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 beats the next best screen, the IPS-LCD on the Apple iPad 2 in slightly more categories, with the only hindrance being the oversaturated colors on Samsung's best tablet, whereas the iPad 2 actually came with too low of a color saturation. For the purist professional calibrator, it turns out, less saturation always beats gaudy colors. Not so with the typical user, though, people love them some flashy colors.
Coming in third was the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, again with an IPS-LCD display, followed by the Acer Iconia Tab A500. Last place is occupied by the Motorola Xoom's screen, largely due to obnoxious level of screen reflection, bad viewing angles and poor factory calibration settings.

Dr Raymond Soneira from DisplayMate also lists some interesting observations regarding the screens, like: "all of these Tablets have an unsatisfactory Ambient Light Sensor and Automatic Brightness Control, which wastes battery power and causes eye strain". He also goes on to explain that while the iPad 2 has a 9.7" screen, whereas the others are 10-inchers, the Android tablets actually have 5% less real size at your disposal, due to the 4:3 aspect ratio of Apple's tablet, and the fact that the Android system bar occupies 48 pixels.
On the other hand, the 16:9 aspect ratio of Android tablets makes them ideal for watching movies, whereas the iPad 2 in portrait orientation comes very close to the aspect ratio of a regular A4 sheet of paper, making it more comfortable for reading content. As a downside of all the Android tablets, except the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Dr Soneira points out that in Android 3.1 the manufacturers continue to have 16-bit color in the photo gallery, processed to 24-bit, but with poor dithering.

Neat review, I'm surprised it was so close for some of the contenders, given the differing technologies at play.
Glad the Super-Size ipod didn't win.

As usual, you are wrong superfandroidevo.
I am not the one who cooks up mathematical equations just to contradict positive articles related to Apple devices. Sniggly and you do that a lot, not me.
This is a professional review. I may disagree with it based on my personal taste, but I will respect this article.

Thanks for the review - looked at one yesterday in UK and impressive. Do you have any take on if its worth getting the 3G version? or could I tether through a moble phone?

High 5 Collective's new video for "Thinking About You," the recent Tumblr loosie from Odd Future R&B affiliate and world-conquering singer-songwriter Frank Ocean, is a weird one. The clip's narrative is tough to follow, but it involves vengeful Native Americans and catatonically sick children. Ocean himself only shows up in cameo form, playing a male nurse. Watch it and download the track below.

Right now, Tyler, The Creator is bothering Ocean by asking him where he can get those all-white contact lenses.

Usually a sign of a bad fuel tank sender unit, better to read inaccurate at that end of the scale than the bottom /empty part.

I had to change my sending unit. But if i don't turn the engine off at fill up it reads 3/4. if you turn it off and start back up it reads correctly.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- A father and son are accused of double-billing for work supervising jail inmates.
Samuel Garland is the town's former jail superintendent. He is charged with stealing more than $60,000 from the Johnson City-Washington County Boys and Girls Club by billing for inmate supervision he performed as a paid city employee.
His son, David Garland, is charged with stealing more than $10,000 when he supervised inmates as part of his job with the Johnson City Parks and Recreation Department. He also was employed at East Tennessee State University. A review of his time records revealed he was being paid for working the same hours at both jobs.
He also is accused of allowing the inmates to smoke and drink.

Okay, I need to catch up on this. What I want to talk about right now are smarties and candy hearts and that which lies in between. Smarties are one of my favorite kinds of candy (one of my 100 favorite kinds of candy), and I love candy hearts as well. When I was younger, they used to make two main different kinds of conversation hearts… the kind that I called the "hard" kind because they were more like smarties, and the "soft" kind, which tasted a little different and whose edges were less sharp and determined. I loved the hard conversation hearts best, but luckily I also liked the soft kind, because about 6 or so years ago they seemed to have stopped making the hard kind.
The other day I got a bag of Brach's conversation hearts from Target… yech. Disappointing! Instead of just the classic chalky taste, the had this weird citrusy zing to them – which is fine in certain kinds of candy, but I don't want that in my hearts!
To make up for this holiday snacking catastrophe, someone at work has recently brought in bags of smarties-like conversational hearts. They are noticeably bigger than normal Smarties, and round shaped, but with a heart detailed in the middle, carrying various stereotypical 'romantic' messages.
Now, I distrust most conversational hearts that truely, in taste, belong in another genre of candy – such as… Skittles, Starburst, or M&M, or what have you. Just because you stamp words on it does not make it a true conversation heart. So at first I thought these would taste just like Smarties and just happen to have 'Luv U' and 'Call Me' on them.
Happily, not the case! In fact, they taste just like the old, hard candy hearts. I love it. I'm so happy. I want to eat them all. In a word where we elect and relect George W. Bush, find octupi in our gardens, and cherish the thought of nuking strangers, it's good to find at least one thing is going right. Welcome back, hard candy hearts.

Nuchal scan to detect birth defects?
I am beginning my second trimester and have just been scheduled for a "nuchal scan", a diagnostic test that my doctor says has replaced AFP as a more precise indicator of birth defects such as Down Syndrome and neural tube problems. Can you tell me anything about this procedure?Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM

A nuchal translucency evaluation is a specialized ultrasound scan which targets the fetal neck for special evaluation. The reason this area is observed is because babies with Down syndrome have extra folds at the neck.
At this time, amniocentesis is recommended for genetic screening on all pregnant women age 35 or above. Because this is an invasive test with significant risks, providers and researchers have been researching other modalities to assess risk of genetic conditions and Down syndrome.
They have found that it is possible to assess individual odds of Down syndrome on the basis of multiple ultrasonographic parameters. One technique is to measure, via ultrasound, humerus length (the arm bone), nuchal (neck) thickness, degree of light reflection off the bowel (echogenic bowel) and shortened little finger. Likelihood ratios for Down syndrome are calculated on the basis of these parameters. In one study reported in the American Journal of Ob/Gyn, investigators were able to detect Down syndrome using ultrasound markers about 60 percent of the time.
Other studies have demonstrated that nuchal transparency may be a valuable marker for genetic defect and also of value in the diagnosis of other serious malformations, particularly cardiac defects.
At this point in time these tests are not requested unless a woman's age or history indicates a higher risk. I do not believe that these tests have positively been shown to be more accurate than the triple screen. Perhaps they will eventually be refined to the extent that they will be more predictive.Answer:

text: For immediate release For more information or to arrange interviews: Ken Garfield (704) 295-4819 (work) (704) 575-6308 (cell) email@example.com CHARLOTTE CONFERENCE TO EXPLORE BILLY GRAHAM'S LIFE, LEGACY CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Evangelist Billy Graham will be the focus of a Jan. 24 conference featuring Graham's sister and brother-in-law, Jean and Leighton Ford, and panel discussions exploring the legacy of Charlotte's native son. The one-day gathering from 2 to 8:30 p.m. at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary off Carowinds Boulevard is free and open to all, no reservations needed. Titled "Billy Graham And Modern Evangelism," the conference will be of interest to seminarians, other students and clergy. But it is also meant for those who have long admired Graham, attended a crusade or simply yearn to know more about this child of a south Charlotte dairy farm. Among the speakers is Duke Divinity School professor Grant Wacker, whose book is due out later this year from Harvard Press – "Billy Graham And The Shaping of Modern America." "Billy Graham was the most important figure on the American religious scene in the half century that followed World War II," Wacker said. "His personality, presence and image were keys to the growth of modern evangelicalism. This event is part of a larger attempt to come to grips with Graham's long career and ministry and its importance within the larger American context." Graham, 95, is in poor health at home in Montreat, his public ministry largely over. Here's the schedule for the Jan. 24 conference. Those interested are welcome to attend any part, or all, of the conference. And those arriving early from out of town can visit the Billy Graham Library off Billy Graham Parkway to revisit the life of the evangelist. 2:15 p.m. Showing of the 50-minute video, "A Gathering of Souls: The Billy Graham Crusades." 3:30 p.m. An introduction, "Billy Graham and American History," by Duke Divinity School's Grant Wacker, and "Reflections on the Life and Ministry of Billy Graham" by Garth Rosell, who teaches church history at Gordon-Conwell's South Hamilton, Mass., campus. 5 p.m. Supper break, participants are on their own. 6:45 p.m. Wacker moderates a conversation with Jean Graham Ford and Leighton Ford of Charlotte – Billy Graham's sister and brother-in-law, sharing memories and the more personal side of the story. 7:15 p.m. Edith Blumhofer, director of Wheaton College's Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals, leads a program exploring the music behind Billy Graham's ministry – "Singing to Save: George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows." A reception follows at 8:30 p.m., offering conference-goers a chance to speak informally with panelists. The conference is cosponsored by Wheaton's Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte through a grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. in Indianapolis. With Lilly's support, scholars from across the country are writing chapters for a comprehensive volume that will examine the many dimensions of Graham's life and times. Gordon-Conwell is at 14542 Choate Circle in south Charlotte. For more, visit www.wheaton.edu/ISAE.

"These children need to play football." Over the past six years, Coaches' youth football program has flourished, helping kids stay out of trouble by providing a community for them to learn and play.

GOODSTUFF'S CYBER WORLD is more than a "virtual entity" -- therefore, we hereby make the following declaration
Hi, GOODSTUFF!Delete
There is such a things as "adverse possession" in Texas, which is essentially squatter's rights. Sadly, my closet does not and never will qualify.
There is always the moon!

Your life really has been a literal hell-on-earth Katy, i`m so sorry, genuinely.ReplyDeleteReplies
My life has been fantastic! I am having a blast.Delete

Those pictures look like Harrison Ford frozen in carbonite.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey, it sort of does!Delete
If Jabba the Hutt had been gay and living in the disco era, that is absolutely how he would have stored Han Solo.
I totally enjoyed this post Katy, but I feel required to point out also this is the best internet comment of the day so far, and the best idea for a riff on Star Wars that anybody has come up with yet.Delete
Han Solo's relationship with a giant hairy guy makes a lot more sense in my version...Delete
For some reason, I think someone who refers to himself as Dr. Clitoris may need an abandoned storage closet more than you. And how would you evict Clitoris? He's as much a part of that dank, abandoned box as the truck lodged in the shaft...wait a second, I'm starting to realize something here.ReplyDeleteReplies
Is it always about sex with you heteros?Delete
Just a random guess: does Dr Clitoris like to dress up in latex?ReplyDeleteReplies
I have not had the opportunity to meet him yet - only know him by myth and reputation.Delete
But I'm beginning to construct an image of him in my own mind, and yeah, in my mind, he's wearing latex.
Are you planning to change the name of the blog to Ampersands In My Soup or something?ReplyDelete
Coincidentally, I wrote about href="http://bill-purkayastha.blogspot.in/2013/02/fairly-useless-facts-no-2.html".hyena clitorises today.
I'll bet Dr Clitoris can't stand up to an assault by a hyena clitoris.Replies
Once every six months or so, I get the overwhelming urge to post a blog using ampersands.Delete
I'd like to say there is a rhyme or a reason to when I why I do this, but if there is, I am not consciously aware of it.
Because of this clitoral coincidence, I hereby declare the clitoris to be Body Part of the Week. Although I'm almost scared to see it is relevant to your blog...
Can you apply copywrite law here and claim it on the grounds of first use? Of course you get a lawyer and he gets a lawyer it takes 4 years to work through the east Texas federal court system. You know from personal experience the only thing worse than herding cats and the homeless is herding lawyers. Not only do they go every whichway they charge by the hour to do it.ReplyDelete
Nevermind, you are better off with the homeless mob. You going with the 20's tar/feathers/rail version of the mob? That would be appropriate given the age of Temixoch. Maybe old school with clubs/pitchforks/torches? Given the urban nature of your environment, pitchfork mobs are probably better left to the metro Ponder TX crowd.Replies
Self-help methods are probably the only thing left open to me.Delete
Whatever happens, I'm sure it's going to make a great blog. My only regret is that I'm pretty much out of these irrelevant colored rubber pics to post along with it...
NOOOO NO self help books. They are horrible. Flee from anything that has you sitting in a circle pounding on a drum with half naked middle men.Delete
Hmm... i guess I'll cancel Dr. Phil serving as our posse leader.Delete
I had the speech written and everything: "You, sire, have gotta get out of this whole in the ground where you are living and do something with your life! What kind of name is 'Dr. Clitoris,' anyway? Is that Latin? You're never going to get people's respect with that name!"
Incidentally, Clitoris IX is my preferred Pope name when I am elected Pope next month!
Ahhh my mistake, Dr. Phil would have been brilliant! That squatter (Dr Clitoris that is) would have fled screaming after 4 minutes of Dr Phil psycho babbling mixed with West Texas hog wash.Delete
You would make an awesome pope. I can see you rocking the lids. Has there ever been a ginger pope?
I've never actually seen Dr. Phil. I'm at a disadvantage: I try and make pop culture references, but I rarely consume pop culture. I have heard good things about Harry Potter, though...Delete
It's hard to know about the Popes. Most of them have been old and bald. But I don't now that are many ginger Italians, which makes the chances of there having been a ginger low...
I love this post, but have nothing clever to say about it. I have nominated you for two trite blogging awards because I like to nominate people whose content elevates them above those who would actually participate in such nonsense. It accomplishes two things: I can share my favorite bloggers and I can kill memes dead. Ergo, please, with my gracious compliments, permit me to offer you the Liebster and Very Inspiring Blogger Awards. http://faithinambiguity.blogspot.com/2013/02/its-awards-season-again.htmlReplyDeleteReplies
Hi, Tara! I have a tough time with comments, too. I read some of the best blogs around, and then I feel weird because my comments consistently feel trite.Delete
I have been trying to be a better networker and friend online recently, so I am going to put in an effort to do the things connected with your awards. Typically, I don't, but this is the new and improved Katy 2013!
According to some men I've talked to, Dr. Clitoris is just a myth and doesn't actually exist. In fact, some men have spent their entire life looking for him only to not find him. Me, I'd like to think I've found him, but I'm married, so he doesn't come around much anymore.ReplyDeleteReplies
We'll see what happens when we get our posse together and go underground to look for him.Delete
If we can find his assistant, Saint G the Spot, I think we will still be able to get the job done.

Happy Valentines Day Katy, you gorgeous little darlin`.ReplyDeleteReplies
Happy Valentine's Day, Hamst.Delete
Don't make me regret posting that.
Give Dr. Clit a lickin' for me.ReplyDelete
(Oh. And, happy VD day, and all that....)Replies
Look what the cat dragged in.Delete
Where have you been, Will?
- the sayer of the truthFebruary 18, 2013 at 6:28 AM
Katie, the phrase "sexual orientation" is derived from sexual repression as well because only in a sexually repressive society would people want to put themselves into supposed different "sexual catorgories".ReplyDeleteReplies
I sort of agree with that. Granted, I don't think I put myself into a category. It just so happened that I am only attracted to women.Delete
It doesn't seem like my lack of attraction to men or animals or kitchen utensils is due to repression.
I'm just not.
I am sort of writing on this very subject for the blog TONIGHT.
I've slept on park benches, under bridges and other various places before. I really don't care to go back. It's a lonely place that puts your back through hell!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's also very itchy. Ya just can't discount the itchiness factor...Delete

Now if only you could tell true stories...ReplyDeleteReplies
Is there a second half to that sentence?Delete
Go ahead and comment, even if it is just to tell me that you think this post sucked. What have you got to lose?
