Busey Woods
59 acres
Get directions here
Open from dawn until dusk every day.
Busey Woods is a 59-acre nature preserve with a boardwalk loop, seasonal ponds and more. It is adjacent to Crystal Lake Park with an entrance just west of the Anita Purves Nature Center. Collecting items, walking pets and cycling are not permitted. Trained naturalists are available and classes are designed for all age groups
and interests. To inquire about programs and services, call the Anita Purves Nature
Center at 384-4062.
Busey Woods Gateway Trail
In 2013 the Urbana Park District completed a multi-phase project that connected the Anita Purves Nature Center to Busey Woods with an accessible hard pathway and re-landscaped the area outside the center with plants that are attractive to local and migrating birds. A new interpretive exhibit along the trail tells you more about avian residents and visitors.
From Dumping Ground to Desirable Forest
Busey Woods is a remnant of the Big Grove, an oak hickory forest that stood in this area at the time settlers arrived. It was not until the 1970s that the Urbana Park District began to use and manage the woods. In recent history it had been used as a bird watching area or as a place to bring university classes for nature study. But it also became a dumping ground when Lincoln Square, the nearby mall, was constructed. You can still see rubble in the woods today. Since the early 1970s, and especially since 1991 when the district purchased the woods, the district has made strides to bring the woods back to a more undisturbed state through management techniques.
What is Natural Areas Management?
The Urbana Park District manages Busey Woods in a manner that allows for the healthy growth of native species. This means the regular removal of invasive plants and the use of prescribed burns. Staff relies on volunteers with an interest in natural areas (a Natural Areas Committee)to help develop annual and long range management plans. A dedicated staff member oversees this and three other natural areas in the district. The C-U Optimist Club sponsors management of Busey Woods.

Author Bio
Known particularly for her novels of suspense, Iris Johansen has seen dozens of her books appear on the bestseller lists. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Johansen was a voracious reader from an early age. Later, raising two children as a single mother, she worked as an airline reservations clerk and wrote in whatever free time she could eke out of her busy schedule. She sometimes arrived at the airport at five in the morning, so that she could have a quiet hour to herself, and she often wrote in the car while waiting for her son and daughter to finish their afterschool activities. (Her son, Roy, is now a screenwriter and has also collaborated with his mother on several novels.) After both had left for college, Johansen quit her job to try her hand at writing full-time. "I was just as voracious a writer as I was a reader," she recalled to one journalist. She began her career by penning romances--many of them for Bantam's "Loveswept" line--and soon became a familiar name to fans of the genre. In 1996, she branched out into crime fiction, publishing THE UGLY DUCKLING, about the victim of a brutal assault who is determined to get revenge on her attacker. Johansen has since become known for her recurring characters, and among the most popular of these is Eve Duncan, a forensic sculptor who creates likenesses based on remains too decomposed to be recognizable. Eve, who is haunted by the murder of her own young daughter, made her first appearance in FACE OF DECEPTION (1998). "[The idea] came from seeing a documentary on the Discovery Channel," Johansen has explained. "I had never heard of a forensic sculptor before. I thought ?What if?' A lot of great stories have come from ?What if?'" IRIS JOHANSEN'S THE KILLING GAME, a film based on one of the Eve Duncan books, aired on Lifetime television in 2011.

STEVENSVILLE, Md. (AP) -- Authorities in Maryland are searching for a missing Stevensville woman.
Maryland State Police said a dive team on Sunday would be combing the Chesapeake Bay near where the woman was last seen.
Troopers say 51-year-old Robin L. Pope was last seen Friday evening.
Troopers were called Saturday to the home of her husband, Wayne A. Pope Jr.
Authorities say the two had been living together until December when they separated. Wayne Pope told authorities that his wife had come to the home Friday to retrieve some belongings. He left and when he returned early Saturday he found his wife's car still in the driveway, but she wasn't there. He said his dog, a Great Dane, was missing.
Authorities later found the dog dead by a pier near the home.

FORT WORTH, November 10, 2012 — Dolley Madison is well known for saving the portrait of George Washington, a copy of the Declaration of Independence and other valuables when the British burned Washington City in 1814. She was also the first to forge and define the role for the wife of the President of the United States.
The National First Ladies' Library says this:
"With more conscious effort than either of her two predecessors, and with an enthusiasm for public life that neither of them had, Dolley Madison forged the highly public role as a President's wife, believing that the citizenry was her constituency as well as that of her husband's."
The role she created is the standard we know and expect to this day.
A Merry Widow Who Captivated Madison
Dolley Payne was born in North Carolina to Quakers John and Mary Payne 1768. A year later they moved to Virginia and subsequently Dolley lived in Philadelphia where she married Quaker lawyer John Todd, Jr.
They had two children, John Payne Todd, (1792-1852), William Isaac Todd, (1793.) The younger child died on the same day as her husband during an epidemic of yellow fever.
The White House website relates that after a period of mourning:
"By this time Philadelphia had become the capital city. With her charm and her laughing blue eyes, fair skin, and black curls, the young widow attracted distinguished attention."
Dolley was soon introduced to James Madison by then US Senator Aaron Burr. Even though she was seventeen years younger than Madison, the couple hit it off and married several months later in September of 1794.They settled in the Madison familial home, Montpelier in Orange County, Virginia when the statesman left Washington City in 1796. While there Dolley honed her skills as hostess entertaining neighbors and political proponents who helped James acquire loyal supporters. The website for Montpelier describes her as "one half of America's first political power couple."
When Thomas Jefferson named Madison as his Secretary of State after the election of 1800, they finally moved to Washington City. However, the nation's Capitol was quite different 212 years ago than it is now.
The Power Couple Arrives in Washington
Upon their arrival in 1801, James Madison noted the changes in the "wilderness capital" since he had last seen it. The President's house and the Capitol building were now built. Author Catherine Allgor states in her book, "A Perfect Union":
"…the city's main road, 'Pennsylvania Avenue' was a grand appellation for the slash of mud that proved almost impossible for any vehicle to navigate….To paraphrase a famous jibe, Washington was a town of houses with no streets and streets with no houses."
In addition, there was no entrenched social structure like in older established areas. Most cities grow over time. Washington City did not. It was laid out all at once by city planners Peter Charles L'Enfant and Andrew Ellicott along with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Allgor adds,
"The long established cities of Philadelphia or New York possessed entrenched social structures and hierarchies, to which the federal government had to adapt during each city's tenure as capital. Washington City lacked such existing configurations or customs and so invited innovation…..However, the very novelty and nature of the capital city presented its residents with several formidable obstacles to realizing their dream of a 'new Rome' on the Potomac."
The couple first lived with President Jefferson at the "President's House." Later, the Madisons moved to their own home on F Street. It was here Dolley began building Washington society. Since President Jefferson was a widower, she often served the role of presidential hostess for many official functions as well.
A Diplomatic Hostess
The two-party system was brand new in those days. The Federalists, including George Washington, John Adams and other democratic "aristocrats" wanted a strong, centralized federal government. The Republicans, including Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, saw the federal government necessary for the military and foreign diplomacy, believing that states should take care of the rest themselves. This is quite a departure from today's political parties.
In response to this, Dolley invited the families of the local gentry families not affiliated with the government, "official" families who were, some foreign dignitaries, and visitors to the house on F Street. According to Allgon, each group had a stake in Washington City. The local gentry and official families were permanent residents and worked toward building up the capital. Foreign visitors and observers had the ears of their prospective governments that watched the young country. They could become powerful friends or dangerous enemies.
Allgon says of Dolley's mission,
"In her quest to create an ideal capital society, Dolley had to find ways not only to teach each group individually, but to blend and connect all three."
The White House site continues:
"Dolley's social graces made her famous. Her political acumen, prized by her husband, is less renowned, though her gracious tact smoothed many a quarrel. Hostile statesmen, difficult envoys from Spain or Tunisia, warrior chiefs from the West, flustered youngsters — she always welcomed everyone"
In this she strove to serve not only the President but also the good of the country. She was a trailblazer and a passionate patriot who knew that the warring political factions of the time had to get along in order for the United States to flourish. Yet she made her way through Washington society and the politics of the young Republic. She did this by balancing her natural charm and beauty with unmatched political finesse.
Come back next week to read the rest of the story about this exceptional and notable woman.

'Smiling China' Kick-starts Service Upgrade
BEIJING, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Air China's "Smiling China" aircraft, which sports the livery of smiling faces, touched down at New York's Kennedy International Airport at 10:40 on March 31, 2013. The B-2035, one of the aircraft in Air China's B777-300ER fleet, is the prelude to a new endeavor to upgrade Beijing- New York operations.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130402/CN87049)
The ceremony was attended by the Consul General of the Peoples' Republic of China in New York, Mr. Sun Guoxiang, General Manager of Air China North America, Mr. Chi Zhihang, Director of China's National Tourist Office in New York, Mr. Xue Yaping, and Deputy General Manager of JFK International Airport, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Mr. Jeff Pearse, as well as the inaugural flight's passengers.Air China's Beijing- New York route – the most important and busiest between China and the United States – increased from seven to 11 times a week starting March 31. The newly added flights are CA989/990. The airliner used on the route was upgraded to B777-300ER, a type popular with business travelers. In 2012, China was the world's second largest source market for outbound tourist traffic, and the United States was the most popular destination for Chinese travelers. Beijing's new policy also allows travelers from 45 countries, including the United States, to stay in Beijing for 72 hours during flight transfers without a visa. After in-depth market research and based on its deep understanding of business travelers' needs, Air China added an additional four weekly Beijing- New York on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Efficient and reliable, the B777-300ER is Air China's preferred long-haul airliner. It features the best cabin interior in Air China's history, encouraging a relaxing, stress-free travel experience. First and Business Classes feature lie-flat seats, and personal power outlets and AVOD are available in all classes of service for passengers' entertainment.

Mohd Hanif, Ahmad Husni and Sani Babu, Shanti Devi and Manas, Abdul Rahman and Balasundram, Siva Kumar (1996) Physico-chemical Attributes of Humic Acid Extracted from Tropical Pect. Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science, 19 (2/3). pp. 189-196. ISSN 0126-6128
Basic research conducted on humic acid (HA) in tropical soils is limited. A study was conducted to characterize HA extracted from tropical peat by elemental and functional group analyses, infrared (IR) spectra and by direct examination on HA using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the elemental analysis it was found that C ranged from 40.26 - 53.26%, H 4.84 - 6.36%,038.39 - 51.62%, N 1.51- 2.64%, and P 0.02 - 0.06%. Studies of functional groups indicated that the carboxyl group present in HA of tropical peat was about twice as high as that of phenolic hydroxyl groups. From IR spectra, the HA had an aromatic character. Results of IR analysis also exhibited consistently similar spectra, demonstrating that regardless of place of origin, the extracted humic compound had a similar structure and was composed of the same functional groups. Electron microscopic examination of dried HA showed a sub-angular blocky shape which varied in size. All extracted HA exhibited similar form.

Two weeks ago, challenge lover Anne Quemere set off from the small port of Paita, in Lima Peru. The object? To cross the Southern Pacific Ocean alone and without assistance, from Peru to Papeete in French Polynesia.
But unusually, the crossing is being attempted in a boat powered only by a kite. The boat is made of epoxy resin, glass, carbon and airex foam, and is 6 metres long and 1.9 metres wide.
The crossing should be completed in two to two and a half months, depending on weather conditions. The distance is approximately 4200 Nautical miles (7778 km) and is a first for this type of navigation.
Anne says:
"This new challenge aims at seeking out the best technology without sacrificing essential values we always have in mind : quality, effectiveness, safety, environmental respect and honesty."
Good luck Anne!

Frame Rating: GeForce GTX 660 Ti and Radeon HD 7950
Sleeping Dogs
Sleeping Dogs (DirectX 11)
Welcome to Hong Kong, a vibrant neon city teeming with life, whose exotic locations and busy streets hide one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the world: the Triads. In this open world game, you play the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop trying to take down the Triads from the inside out. You'll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organization, taking part in brutal criminal activities without blowing your cover. Torn between your loyalty to the badge and a criminal code of honor, you will risk everything as the lines between truth, loyalty and justice become permanently blurred
Our settings for Sleeping Dogs
At these settings Sleeping Dog is very hard on current graphics cards, even ones with the power of the GTX 660 Ti and Radeon HD 7950. Just as we saw on many previous titles though, the CrossFire combination of two HD 7950s are producing much lower observed frame rate per second averages after removing the runt frames.
Both single cards and the GTX 660 Tis in SLI all have very consistent frame times in our graph of data above; only the CrossFire results stand out with the wildly swinging results.
The GTX 660 Ti scales from about 37 FPS average over the entire run to something near 70 FPS by adding in the second card, but the same cannot be said for AMD's Radeon HD 7950.
Even though the frame variance levels of the HD 7950s in CrossFire are consistent through much of the performance testing, once we hit the 90th mark the levels skyrocket away from either single GPU or even the SLI setup.
More solid scaling results from NVIDIA's SLI technology and more runt problems for CrossFire...
Even though the NVIDIA SLI results do start to see some spikes and hitches in performance from inconsistent frame times, the results pale in comparison the to mess that CrossFire shows up as. Both single cards show very nice results with the edge going to the AMD Radeon HD 7950.
By nearly doubling the frame rate, the GTX 660 Ti SLI configuration looks much better than the AMD single or dual-GPU options using the HD 7950.
Only the single card setups here truly offer a 100% stutter free gaming experience with both SLI and CrossFire showing some higher than expected frame time variance.
The name of the game for 5760x1080 testing is more drops and runts from the AMD HD 7950 cards running in CrossFire.
Even though the SLI results aren't as pretty as we would liked to have seen, the AMD CrossFire setup is dropping frames throughout our play testing.
These two images compare individual run data from CrossFire and SLI - by losing nearly every other frame the CrossFire data looks much better under FRAPS than the game actually sees!
SLI does scale well again (from 24 FPS to 45 FPS) though it does droop down towards single card performance levels at the tail end of this minimum FPS percentile metric.
Interestinly, because we take AWAY the dropped frames for this calculation, the HD 7950 CrossFire results look pretty good - but don't forget to include the data above to get the whole story. Clearly the SLI solution does introduce some stutter possibility with frame variance but it doesn't even exceed 5 ms until we get past more than 90% of the rendered frames.
Result are mostly within margin of error.only factor making this possible ?is if the operating system is causing the issue.like I posted in my big post ;the operating system is the cause .probably unknowingly.
Not sure I grasp the whole methodology. If it looks good to me what is the problem? I have (2) 7950's in CFX mode and I do not see any 'stutter' or problem, why should it matter if FRAPS tells me 100 fps in Battlefield 3 and this article tells me its really only 50? Seems to me this is extreme nitpicking of something that isnt even visible to the naked eye and quite irresponsible to make AMD out to be so bad.
Yet someone like Kyle at Hardocp has said in the far cry 3 review that there is no doubt nVidia is smoother, and in the former SLI vs CF, that EVERY SINGLE TESTER AND REVIEWER THERE NOTICES SLI IS MUCH SMOOTHER THAN CROSSFIRE, for the past number of years.
He also says it's true some people (slow eyes, slow mind, poor vision, crap monitor, low resolution ) "can't" see the differences.
Oh well, sorry you drew a lousy deck. Some cards drawn are not as good as others.
On the other hand, with them side by side, you'd probably not be a blind, doubting amd fanboy anymore, even if you still claimed you were verbally.
Cant quite call this "observed frame rate" if you need a capture card and slow motion video to "observe" it??
Yes, you don't, thousands of people report on it daily.
Others who sold their souls to the amd red devil can't see it.
<- Me this round for my rig
I generally have good luck with Nvidia drivers, okay two mid-range cards, let's see... 192 bit memory bandwidth on your mid-range card?! argh, no thanks I like anti aliasing. Open CL results are... wow okay. Let's check out ATI...
Open CL is good, I have a dedicated PhysX card, heat and efficiency are... aw nuts. well okay I can undervolt a bit, fine. Let's get some CF 7950s... one week later and a good deal more broke, sees this article. Yargh... Oh hey... look an Nvidia workstation GPU for gaming(Titan right?), maybe compute tasks will... oh nevermind, not so good and 1k, ouch. No bitcoin mining for me.
Maybe I should just get a single GPU? Wait... I just bought three monitors for surround gaming.
I think I'll go downstairs and play a console game to relax.
I would like to know if the 'runts fps' are indeed 100% completely useless for the gaming experience. So lets say take a test person put him behind a game running 55fps with 'runts' (read: observed fps is lower) and then put him behind the same game but with the fps capped at the observed fps value. I like to know what the test person experiences are under real gaming.
How is the mouse movement? Does It feel smooth? Which scenario does the test person thinks is giving the best gaming experience and so on...
So essentially are the runt frames so annoying that you are better of with way lower fps? If so by what margin? For example I can imagine that 60fps with 'runts' is still better than a 100% solid and consistent 30 fps.
Since a normal screen resolution means 1080 horizontal scan lines, how do you feel about 7 or 8 scan lines being called a "valuable frame" for AMD ?
Let's check it with something called logic, since the clueless are here everywhere.
154 runts needed to make a single full screen frame pic JUST ONCE
So in that case, 154 fps give you an effective frame rate of 1 fps. LOL How valuable is 1/154th of the screen in a sliver across it ? That's a runt, a drop is ZERO VISUAL VALUE period.
How about 21 scan lines ? Is that "valuable" ?
1080/21 = 54 of them to make just one full screen. LOL
So, AMD counts 54fps, and you get one screen of data - yes I'd say that's a very valuable way for amd to cheat like heck on steroids.
As a competitive gamer, you WANT the frames to start before the previous ones finished. Nvidia is introducing latency with their frame metering crap.....
-coming from a 660ti owner.
I can't believe the amount of trolling over this article. I consider myself loosely an AMD fanboy when it comes to video cards. I don't really have an issue recomending nVidia cards to friends if that is where their pricing falls but I, personally run AMD. I don't see anything malicious about these articles and I find them very interesting and detailed. It's not going to stop me from buying a 7950 within the next month to replace my 5850 (Which let's be honest is still pretty darn good for today's games). I will just be happy that AMD knows about the issue and is working on a solution so I can get a nice fully functional Crossfire set-up later when they drop in price.
OK, AMD admits a issue then stop showing the comparisons with crossfire. What is the point is reviewing the same issues time and time again like something is suddenly going to change as we hit a different price point. This isn't a comparison at this point. If what you say is true then post this as a buyer beware when reviewing AMD cards about crossfire. What your doing here is the same as reviewing a nVidia card nad every article mentioning AMD crossfire is broken.
If you want a single GPU card no issue. If you want multi GPU go with nVidia at this point or move up to the next higher single GPU AMD. But remember with crossfire X when this fix is in place you can continue to boost your performance buy adding the next gen AMD. All nVidia offers is physx.
I agree with all of that and would also like to suggest PCper explores the 3rd party apps like radeon pro that fix a lot of these issues. Much more useful than telling us Xfire is broken over and over again
I agree with all of that and would also like to suggest PCper explores the 3rd party apps like radeon pro that fix a lot of these issues. Much more useful than telling us Xfire is broken over and over again
I wouldn't mind seeing 3-way CF/SLI, as an article a while back by THG found 3-way CF helped a while back.
I would like seeing RadeonPro, but realize that the fixes all include FPS limiting, which obviously isn't ideal.
I would also like to see different ranges of runt frames. 20 pixels high is 2% of your screen. That is really small. You could fairly increase that number some.
The exposure of Crossfire problems will force AMD to fix it. HOW IS THIS A BAD THING?
The way this is a bad thing:
1. I own a 7950 Crossfire setup which looks perfect to me (I use RadeonPro), and my initial reaction was that I should sell them and buy Nvidia, imagine how this could impact sales of people just considering AMD. I think the results, while quite accurate in and of themselves, should be better quantified in the real world (lets be honest can anyone at PCPer in a blind test really tell the difference between AMD and Nvidia)?
2. The graphs completely misrepresent what is happening on the screen. If you look at these graphs you imagine this stuttering mess on the screen, the truth is nothing close to that (as I said I can watch my rig in the real world).
3. It is completely beating a dead horse, we get it, the Crossfire has "major issues" when you enhance and slow down the frames to a crawl (which has zero bearing on how it looks in the real world), no reason to post the same results for each Crossfire compatible card, we already know what they are.
I am no AMD fanboy, I want all of the info I can get so next time I drop $1,000.00 on video cards I have all of the available info, I just think the info should be presented in a more realistic form, to me this is all quite inconsequential to real world gaming performance.
The problem isn't that you don't get playable frames in crossfire. It is that you aren't gaining full benefit from crossfire. When choosing between Crossfire and SLI, what will help you more so you can plan ahead.
And if you use v-sync, the limited testing has shown it helps or fixes the issue (only tested on 2 games so far, it could be the FPS limiting aspect that helps, and not v-sync itself).
"The problem isn't that you don't get playable frames in crossfire. It is that you aren't gaining full benefit from crossfire."
That right there to me is an accurate and thoughtful representation of what is going on here. That would have been a much more accurate way to present this information instead of the current "AMD Crossfire is a stuttering mess" message.
I have been on every review website there is and was for well over a decade, and argued with every fanboy of every type - and NEVER has a single amd fan or otherwise EVER MENTIONED "radeon pro"...
So who cares if NOW, you use it. For YEARS not a single amd fanboy CF user was using it, and if they were THEY LIED AND KEPT IT A SECRET BECAUSE THEY KNEW AMD SUCKS WITHOUT IT.
So who really cares at this point what lying hidden crutch amd needs for a "quicky bandaid patch" for it's crapster crap crossfire epic failure ?
It's a big fat excuse for YEARS of total loserville and lies.
I'll also mention once v-sync and radeon pro hack the frame rate down to 30 or 60, YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT USE AN AMD CROSSFIRE SOLUTION AT ALL BECAUSE YOU CANNOT USE FRAME RATE POTENTIAL ON IT FULLY, YOU HAVE TO CRIPPLE IT FOR IT TO WORK.
What we need now is a 30fps chart and 60 fps chart with crap amd cards listed running vsync and radeon pro and the chart can tell us which pieces of crap can do 30 and 60 fps and we can THROW OUT EVERY OTHER FRAME RATE EVER LISTED FOR THE CRAP AMD CARDS.
"The problem isn't that you don't get playable frames in crossfire. It is that you aren't gaining full benefit from crossfire."
That right there to me is an accurate and thoughtful representation of what is going on here. That would have been a much more accurate way to present this information instead of the current "AMD Crossfire is a stuttering mess" message.
Interesting test, if what you have tested is valid, AMD is in deep-sh*t once again. If not, there is some kind of money transaction going on...
Nonetheless, thanks for all your efforts.
Quick Google "geforce frame metering" and you will find out why the nVi cards rarely have runt frames. In fact, nVi cards DO have them. They just delays those frames a bit to match with other good frames' speed, therefore the frame time chart looks good miraculously. And you, the user, will have to deal with input delay.
For me, an AMD cards and a 3rd party FPS cap software is the best. No input lag, no stuttering. And the image quality from AMD is always superior.
wow, it's spot on data, tough to take in, especially if you purchased Radeon's since the begining but it is true.
but GOD People - stop with the flaming!!!.
AMD will have to do a hardware re-do to fix this, i don't really expect anything to come out for a year. i don't really think that anyone misled on purpose - this is all new testing data.
AMD still makes an ok card- but the issue is with multiple cards.
answer- don't buy multiple lower cost cards with AMD
I wish you'd start testing with newer drivers. They have 314.22's out, had 314.21 out, and even a 314.07 all in WHQL, but you're still on beta .07's? I think they even had a 314.14 whql in there.
Many games have been optimized since then. Great data, just want later Nv drivers as you're a few behind at best.
15% for 314.07 vs. 314.21 in tomb raider, others show basically the same and in some cases more and this was on an old 9600GT card...LOL. Who knew?
Sorry for the huge review, computer repair in schaumburg but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

hello lady not much had to go back to work today :( and i really don't have any plugs at the moment I tend to pass them on when I'm done with them or move up in size but if I stretch them again or want to get rid of any I will keep you in mind for sure :) I'm at a 7/16 now but I will ask friends if they have any!
um Webster I think lol not really sure :)
i thought so too it was between that and well..another of yours but since yours was used already not too long ago decided against it
its not just the hair in front of my ears that isn't knotting. its all the hair on the sides of my head above my ears too. its so baby fine and soft that any knotting that happens between washes just comes right out after the wash. so frustrating.
Cool! If you don't like one of the wraps I have on Etsy, let me know what colours you like & I'll show you a couple fabrics for approval'] Thanks Chica']
nothing really going to Wisconsin for the weekend to stay at a family cabin :) whats up with you?
You must have thought that I meant Washington DC. I live in the other Washington, the west coast :) It would be about a week and a half to get over towards Tennessee. It'll be fun though!
You too! I'm coming all the way from Washington. It's totally worth it.
Much love
you mentioned a sea salt spray at walmart that smells good. any chance you know the name of it?
thanks bunches:)
Thank you. I've been enjoying your pictures. You and your family seem a fun and lively bunch. Love your crystals and tatts, too, and your glasses frame. Seriously! I wear glasses for reading but they're 'straight-laced librarian' kind.
ciuld u be pregnant? thats a more likely cause
what makes u think its getting thinner
Thanks for the add. So you went to the rainbow gathering...I've always been interested just a little intimidated by the culture shock.
your dreads are amazing!
Are you? Just interested. :P
LOL You have me wondering if you saw my comment on Brittany Rassat's photo of the rowan tree. Yeah, I am. :D

The Hobart Police Department has added two new furry faces to its K-9 division: Spike, a 1-year-old Belgian Malinois from Canada, and Scout, a 2-year-old jet black German shepherd from Burkheim, Germany.
They're not on active duty as yet. They're still getting to know their handlers — Spike's is Officer Ryan Snedecor and Scout's is Cpl. Simon Gresser — and just started official training March 1.
Spike replaces Fax, who retired at age 9, and Scout replaces Rommel, who had to be put down in November at age 111/2.
"Right now, we're in a bonding stage. It's like little kids with new toys," said Gresser, who has been on the Hobart force for 13 years and in the K-9 department for 11 years.
But four to six weeks after training begins, the two pups will be ready for active duty as patrol/narcotics dogs, sniffing out drugs, tracking down criminals and the innocents who've become lost, and doing article and area searches.
Gresser said both dogs received some training before coming to Hobart, but are still "a little green." In fact, Spike had traveled to several Middle Eastern countries, Africa and the United States with Baden Canine in Canada, where he was purchased from, to demonstrate what their dogs can do, Snedecor said.
Now that Gresser has become a master trainer, he said the training will be done in-house, mostly in a special room set aside for that purpose in the new police/court/community center building.
Gresser and Snedecor, who has been in the K-9 unit three years, have already started working with the dogs, doing some drug detection and looking for any limitations the dogs might have.
"We're looking for any quirks or inconsistencies that we may need to shape up," Gresser said.
He said Scout's drug detection has come a long way and he has no problem with the elevators or escalators in the mall. As for Spike, nothing seems to bother the pup, Snedecor said.
One recent morning, Snedecor and Gresser worked with Spike on his drug detection skills. The Belgian Malinois first went through a series of boxes in search of an odor of a mixture of drugs, then on to two walls of holes, with one hole in each wall containing the odor of drugs. Each time, the dog easily found the source of smell and was awarded with a neon green tennis ball.
"That's his paycheck — being told he's a good boy and playing with a ball," Gresser said.
In fact, the dogs do not cost the Hobart Police Department any money. Scout's $9,000 and Spike's $10,000 price tags were paid through fund-raising efforts and donations, Gresser said.
The dog food company Eukanuba provides all the dog food for free, Hobart Animal Clinic takes care of their veterinary needs and all the items in the training room were donated.
Gresser said the four officers currently in the K-9 department are always trying to raise money for the program. He said last year they raised $20,000 through such programs as the 100 Percent Club, in which people donate $100 and the K-9 teams, in turn, give 100 percent to the community.
The K-9 unit is planning to add another officer, Kevin Garber, and dog to its current four dog/handler teams by July.
"We need to come up with the funding first," Gresser said.

A new payload carrier promises to dramatically reduce the cost of access to space for small scientific and education payloads. The Lynx Cub Payload Carrier was announced Thursday by the United States Rocket Academy. The Lynx Cub Carrier will fly on the XCOR Lynx space plane, now under construction at the Mojave Air and Space Port, and carry up to 12 experiments on each flight.
"The Lynx Cub Payload Carrier is a versatile system that installs in the Lynx cabin, behind the pilot's seat, allowing small experiments to be carried as secondary payloads on any Lynx flight," said United States Rocket Academy chairman Edward Wright. "The Cub Carrier can be installed and removed quickly for frequent, low-cost flight opportunities."
Citizens in Space, a project of the United States Rocket Academy, will fly the Lynx Cub Carrier on 10 Lynx missions beginning in late 2014 or early 2015. The Lynx Cub Carrier will also be made available to other XCOR customers, as ready-to-fly hardware or as an open-source hardware design. "XCOR Aerospace is pleased to welcome the new Cub Carrier to the Lynx family," said Khaki Rodway, XCOR Director of Payload Sales and Operations. "The Lynx Cub Carrier is an ideal platform for small materials-processing, fluid-physics, life-science, and engineering experiments. University teaching and research, K-12 education, citizen science, government and industrial R&D will all benefit from the convenient simple interfaces, rapid integration, and affordability of Lynx Cub experiments."
The Lynx Cub Carrier is being developed by the United States Rocket Academy and the Space Engineering Research Center, part of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), with support from XCOR Aerospace. Design and fabrication are being done by Texas A&M faculty and students and TEES researchers. "Lynx Cub payloads are based on the popular 1U, 2U, and 3U CubeSat form factors, which are de facto international standards for small scientific payloads," said Chip Hill, Director of the Space Engineering Research Center. "The payload carrier provides physical accommodations, electrical power, and limited thermal control for Lynx Cub experiments."
The Lynx Cub Carrier will be flight-ready in September 2013 and will be included in the XCOR Lynx flight test program. "For the test flights, we will load the Lynx Cub Carrier with payload simulators, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and environmental sensors," Wright said. "While XCOR is proving out the vehicle, we'll be gathering baseline data on the thermal environment, the acoustical environment, acceleration, vibration, etc. – data that will help guide experimenters in their payload design."
"The Space Engineering Research Center has put together a first-class team for this development program," Hill said. "The involvement of Texas A&M industrial and systems engineering students as key team members, under the mentorship of Dr. Justin Yates and direction of technical lead Dr. Frank Little, provides an excellent opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience with real space hardware."
A&M student Cress Netherland said, "Developing the Lynx Cub Carrier presents a challenging and unique problem. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to apply our studies to a real world application."
The Space Engineering Research Center, part of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station in College Station, is also a member of XCOR's global network of payload integrators.

Consumers can keep everyday frozen items in the top, readily-accessible freezer drawer while storing other, larger foods, in the bottom drawer. The LG Four-Door Refrigerator aso has an extra tall vertical ice and water dispenser interior LED lighting, an in-door filtered ice and water system, and a door sealing system that ensures an airtight seal. The refrigerator will be available in late May 2008 in a 25 cu. ft. capacity standard-depth model and a 21 cu. ft. counter-depth model for consumers who prefer a built-in look. Manufacturer's suggested retail prices are $3,199 and $3,499, respectively.

I have no one to complain to about this and I'm just... blargh. It's unreasonable of me, I'm not asking anyone to make me feel justified, it just sucks.
DH and his brothers are very close, so we see them a few times a week at least. His older brother is a little crazy, but I've gotten used to him.
Problem comes in that earlier this year he and his amazing girlfriend (who all of us loved and who was really good for him) broke up. I'm still friends with her: we just clicked and became really close and I know she wishes it wasn't over, which by itself makes things a little hard. Since BIL changed his relationship status on FB, one of his exes has been sniffing around (tagging him in everything, posting lyrics from love songs to his timeline), and now it's looking like he and this other chick might get back together.
Now all of that's *his* business but: BIL has no friends in relationships except DH and I, so I know he's going to want all of us to hang out as couples... I don't want this. Aside from me wishing things could go back to the way they were for almost two years, I cannot stand this other girl. She and BIL were only together for 3 months before, and they made each other miserable. She is a pretentious hipster b*tch, and I don't usually say that kind of thing about someone. She really, really, is.
How long can I plead a headache to dinner plans before it gets suspicious?

I know. I won't be blatantly ungracious, and it's not like I'll ditch family get-togethers... DH considers this girl bad news as well, though, and is having a hard time dealing with all this too, so I doubt he'll be insistent on double dates.

Jose Cuervo Tradicional Celebrates Latin Culture And Inspires Artists Nationwide Through The Tradicional Mural Project
NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of Jose Cuervo's long history of supporting the arts and Latin culture, Jose Cuervo Tradicional – Mexico's No. 1 super-premium tequila and the same recipe used in Cuervo's original tequila in 1795 -- is launching the Tradicional Mural Project 2012. Through this platform, Jose Cuervo Tradicional hopes to create a dialogue through artistic endeavors that will inspire artists over the age of 21 to celebrate the Latin culture sharing their hopes and dreams for the Latin community through murals—an art form that, like Jose Cuervo Tradicional, is a truly authentic part of Mexico's history and culture. As part of this nationwide platform (where legal), Jose Cuervo Tradicional is inviting artists over the age of 21 to compete for the opportunity to win $15,000 by submitting an original mural painting inspired by their passion for Latin culture and the Jose Cuervo Tradicional bottle. Jose Cuervo Tradicional will also donate $15,000 to a Latino arts and cultural organization on behalf of the winner as well as display the top 10 murals in a public artistic venue such as a gallery or museum to be announced at a later date.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120808/FL54294-c)Artists can participate in the Jose Cuervo Tradicional Mural Project contest by submitting a 150-word statement describing how they are inspired by Hispanic heritage, along with their professional artwork portfolio via http://nalac.submittable.com/submit/13194/submission or firstname.lastname@example.com. The application period is open from now through 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday, Aug. 31, 2012. "Murals have been used by artists in Mexico and the U.S. to celebrate a rich culture," said Roy Danis, President, Jose Cuervo International. "Similarly, Jose Cuervo is an iconic and authentic embodiment of the past and future of Mexico. For this reason we have created the Jose Cuervo Tradicional Mural Project 2012 — to celebrate and keep cultural and artistic traditions alive while encouraging Latinos to look toward the future." The National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC) will serve as a consultant for the Jose Cuervo Tradicional Mural Project 2012 to increase visibility for the contest within the arts community. As part of this arts consultancy, NALAC will work with Jose Cuervo Tradicional across each phase of the program to engage artists, Latino communities and non-profit organizations.

The J-Glove is a revolutionary shooting aid designed to teach a player how to correctly grip, set up, and release a basketball. Used by a number of successful college programs, professional teams, and multiple trainers and players, the J-Glove utilizes its finger splint design technology to prevent early finger flexion at the base of the finger joints. This premature action is the #1 contributor to improper side to side wrist mechanics during follow through. The finger splint design also works to create the perfect shot set-up while keeping the ball off of your palm.
The J-Glove allows you to finally take control of your jump shot. No longer do you need to put up with inconsistent form, release, and accuracy. The days of "hoping" a shot goes in are over! Now you can trust your jumper and shoot with confidence and control. We also highly recommend the Millennium Shooting DVD (sold separately). This insightful DVD uncovers the science behind the J-Glove and includes shooting drills designed to correct biomechanical errors of past muscle memory circuits.
There are many different shooting aids on the market today. However, most of those aids are designed to only correct one area of the jump shot, such as keeping the ball off your palm. But no other shooting aid provides the key to fixing the most vital aspect to being a consistent shooter; an open-hand, square wrist follow-through.
Most often, the primary contributor to inconsistent shooting lies in the side-to-side wrist flaws that occur during follow through. For an illustration, let's look at right-handed shooter. If this player prematurely flexes his/her index finger during follow through (most common), then the result will be the wrist finishing toward the outside, away from the body. If the ring finger is flexed early, this will result in the wrist finishing toward the inside, toward the body. In either scenario, the wrist is not flexing on a frontal plane, leading to inconsistent accuracy and form.
But that's not all the J-Glove is capable of doing. It also develops proper finger separation on the ball and guarantees maximum extension at the wrist joint to create the perfect "trigger position". With its finger splint design, if the ball is in contact with a player's palm then it will be impossible for the player's index finger to be touching the ball. This works to reinforce proper shot set up with each shot taken.
The J-Glove will help you:

Twitter is, obviously, Socialism.
So are moderators. I'm looking at you, mister moderator guy.
LAST week my colleague pointed out that Republicans make up 70 of the 100 most influential American politicians on Twitter. "Influential" twitterers, as measured by Hewlett Packard's Social Computing Lab, are more likely to have their tweets and links forwarded. This is not the only Twitter-based measure in which Democrats lag. From a piece I wrote about Twitter and politicians earlier this year,
As well as boosting the profile of individual politicians, Twitter may be better designed for campaigning and opposition than for governing. "We'll change Washington" is easy to fit into 140 characters. Explaining the messy and inevitable compromises of power is a lot harder. In January of this year a study by Fleishman Hillard, a Washington PR firm, discovered that Republicans in the House twittered more than five times as often as Democrats. [Ena von Baer, spokeswoman for the Chilean government] says that the Chilean opposition uses Twitter to make up for its poor coverage in the mainstream media.
I dug back into my notes for the piece and found that Michael Slaby, the chief technologist for Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, had put a finer point on it.
Campaigning is more about driving a specific message that you set. Government is about trying to get things done that are inevitably compromising. That's less exciting for the base. It's not as sexy, it's hard to explain, and it doesn't fit into 140 characters. You want to explain why you're compromising on financial reform? We're about changing Washington. That was thirty characters. I'm done.
Mr Slaby measured the success of Twitter in the 2008 campaign with the same weather eye as the researchers at Hewlett Packard. He was unimpressed with the number of followers his candidate had gathered until he saw that Twitter had a better "conversion rate" than email: it was better at actually getting supporters to show up at rallies.
When you are campaigning as an insurgent—as Mr Obama was in 2008, and the Republicans were in this cycle—both the message and the desired response are clear: Washington stinks, so go vote. Compromise demands a nuanced explanation, and Twitter, for all of its haiku elegance, is not a great medium for nuance. Babbage will be interested to see whether the Republicans, now burdened with power and considering compromise, can use Twitter as effectively.
Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
Twitter is, obviously, Socialism.
So are moderators. I'm looking at you, mister moderator guy.
American political campaigns have been garbage since Martin Van Buren ("The Eel")invented the still-current model for Andy Jackson, by copying the camp revival meetings of the Second Great Awakening.
Next: Spamming with political messages. This thread had 7 to 3 posts when I got here, so there must be some potential for getting something across (maybe nausea...)
Looks like the text equivalent of the 30-second spot attack ad on TV
Those in power use Twitter to keep an eye 'on the other guy'.
It doesn't take 140 characters to follow/be followed, or to re-Tweet.

BALTIMORE - An organizer of the Washington-Baltimore area's unsuccessful bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics is considering putting a bid together for the 2024 games.
Dan Knise was president and CEO of the Washington-Baltimore 2012 Regional Coalition. He told The Daily Record of Baltimore last month that the idea is starting to percolate, and he tells The Baltimore Sun he's had "informal discussions" about making another run at the games.
Several people involved in the 2012 bid and local politicians say they would support another bid by the region, although none had spoken directly to Knise. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake says the city "would do a phenomenal job" hosting the games.
A bid would require a coalition, sponsors, millions of dollars and an application to the U.S. Olympic Committee.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) -- Oak Ridge National Laboratory is partnering with Cincinnati Inc. to develop a 3-D printing system that can print faster, larger and more cheaply than current systems.
According to the laboratory, most 3-D polymer printers on the market today can only fabricate small prototype parts. Through this partnership, ORNL and Harrison, Ohio-based Cincinnati hope to build a system that is 200 to 500 times faster and capable of printing polymer components 10 times larger than today's common printers.
Such a system could introduce new capabilities to the U.S. tooling sector and strengthen domestic manufacturing.
The partnership supports the Department of Energy's Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative.

Because Kollagen Intensiv™ has been scientifically formulated to be your complete skin rejuvenation system, offering you both daytime and night time moisturization and collagen renewal – as well as complete eye refreshing and "anti-aging" care.
Kollagen Intensiv™ includes the very latest medical breakthroughs in natural collagen renewal, encouraging your skin to naturally increase collagen production for a visible reduction of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and more. Skin regains a more youthful appearance.
Doctors have long known about the importance of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) in keeping skin looking healthy and youthful. Kollagen Intensiv™ has been carefully formulated to include a number of highly effective NMFs, which literally lock in moisture, preventing evaporation and providing lubrication to the skin's surface.
Photoaging is damage done to the skin through exposure to sunlight, or more specifically, UV radiation. The older we get, the more skin is impacted by photoaging, with visible effects including fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, increased skin roughness and more.
Kollagen Intensiv™ offers protection against photoaging with various UV protecting ingredients, as well as factors that help to rejuvenate and repair the skin from pre-existing photoaging.

This is glycation in action.
