NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- George Jones needs more time to recover from a recent upper respiratory infection.
The 80-year-old country music singer is postponing his upcoming shows on April 20 and 21 in Minnesota and South Dakota. A statement from Jones' publicist, Kirt Webster, says doctors have advised Jones to continue resting at his Tennessee home for another week. The shows will be rescheduled.
Jones was scheduled to perform Friday at Shooting Star Casino, Hotel and Event Center in Mahnomen, Minn. That concert has been rescheduled for Nov. 2.
Jones says in the statement that he never wants to cancel a show, but he has to do what the doctors tell him. He thanks all the fans from the bottom of his heart for their prayers and says he looks forward to seeing them on the road soon.
Jones was hospitalized for nearly a week earlier this month.
The Country Music Hall of Fame member is known for dozens of classic hits including "He Stopped Loving Her Today" and "White Lightning."

My girlfriend was feeling down because she had finally made the decision to divorce her husband. So to get her out of her funk, we decided to jump in her newly acquired SUV and just hit the road.
A friend of ours was in New Mexico, so we took a road trip, stopping and exploring various places. We were amazed at the snow as we drove through the mountains—we talked, we laughed, we cried. Before we knew it, we were in New Mexico. We met some people that directed us to a club…and the night was on. We drank and danced till dawn!
We visited our friends the next day, and spent the rest of the day at the best wineries and bistros. The road trip was the best ever and my girlfriend is dating again.
My girlfriend, who happens to be a former colleague of mine, introduced me to Shecky's. My girlfriends are always fashionably late to events, while I am always on time anywhere I go. So they tell me to wait on the line as they're still upstate picking everyone up.
We finally get in after waiting and the first thing we think of doing is running to get our Goodie Bags! Since this is my first visit to Shecky's, I am carrying my big purse from work, two bags of food containers from work and my Goodie Bag. I walk around with all of these bags, simultaneously trying on the merchandise from all of the vendors, and sweating to death. It felt like a workout, and my experienced Shecky's girlfriends looked at me like I was a Shecky's rookie.
I don't drink, but I decided to try the "pink lemonade." My girlfriends looked at me in awe because they had never seen me drink before. After drinking so much of the "pink lemonade," and going back for more, my adrenaline began to rise and I looked like I was in a marathon trying to get the most out of Shecky's. I will never forget that day. Although I came unprepared (with loads to carry around), it was a beautiful first experience.

My best girls night out was actually a girls night IN back in high school. My four best friends and I had a party over Christmas week and stayed up all night—just eating and talking and laughing at stupid, silly things. That night was over four decades (!!!) ago, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday.
I had a picture of that group, taken on that very night, that I used to carry around with me; I lost it years ago and thought it was the end of the world until I realized that I didn't need a picture to remind me how much I love those dear girls, now all grown up.
For my bridal shower we had a nice big group go out to a club where male dancers were to perform. There were moms and grandmas together with daughters, cousins, friends, etc.
We were caught by surprise when the show started and we soon realized that the dancers would perform nude and strip!!! Can you imagine our moms' faces! And the grandmas' faces?!
I heard about Shecky's through a friend of mine. I checked to see when the next tour would come to Atlanta, and when I saw the dates, I decided it would be a nice gift to my niece for her 40th birthday!
I got the tickets for the night of her birthday, November 17, and she was so excited and had a great time. As a matter of fact, with it being my first time, we all had a blast!!! I am so glad we went. Thanks so much for choosing our city as one of your tour cities.

The area that is now Long Beach was first settled as part of a massive Spanish land grant to soldier Manuel Nieto, encompassing the historic 28,000-acre Ranch Los Alamitos and its sister rancho, 27,000-acre Rancho Los Cerritos.
Rancho Los Cerritos was sold to Lewellyn Bixby and then managed by his brother Jotham. The Bixby family soon became prominent ranchers and developers of Long Beach.
Long Beach, originally planned as Willmore City by developer William Willmore, began forming along the coast.
Competition between the new Santa Fe Railroad and older southern Pacific Railroad attracted hordes of visitors to Long Beach and created a real estate boom.
Original residents of the foiled Willmore City renamed their town Long Beach, after its long, wide beaches, and the city became incorporated.
The introduction of the Pacific Electric trolley caused the city to grow both as a resort and commercial center.
From 1902 to 1910 Long Beach was the fastest growing city in the United States.
The Port of Long Beach was established.
Oil was discovered on Signal Hill and Long Beach flourished with a million-dollar-per-month building boom downtown.
Long Beach was struck by a major earthquake. Downtown Long Beach was rebuilt in Art Deco style.

The first and only flight of Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose, the world's largest airplane, took off over Long Beach Harbor.
California State University Long Beach was founded.
The city of Long Beach purchased Cunard's former luxury cruise liner, the Queen Mary, to be docked in Long Beach Harbor as a major tourism attraction and hotel.
The city embarked on a 25-year multi-billon dollar redevelopment program.
The Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center opened, adjacent to the Long Beach Arena. The complex includes the Terrace Theater, Center Theater, 14 meeting rooms and 88,000 square feet of exhibit hall space.
Shoreline Village, the Downtown Shoreline Marina and Shoreline Park opened.
The Spruce Goose was moved from its hidden hangar to be exhibited in the world's largest geodesic dome adjacent to the Queen Mary.
Long Beach was the site for four Olympic events during the Los Angeles Olympics--yachting, volleyball, fencing and archery.
Long Beach celebrated its Centennial.
The Greater Los Angeles World Trade Center in Long Beach opened.
The Long Beach to Los Angeles Metro Blue Line, the first link in the Los Angeles Metro Rail project, started service.
The Spruce goose is moved to McMinnville, Oregon to become the centerpiece for the Air Venture Museum, and its dome is "converted" for use as movie studio by Warner Bros.
Completion of the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center expansion, tripling the existing exhibit space to 334,000 square feet.
The Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific opened.
The Long Beach Town Centre, a sprawling entertainment, dining and shopping complex opened on site of the former US Naval Hospital.
CityPlace, a modern, open-air shopping plaza, opened downtown.
JetBlue flew into Long Beach Airport with first flight on May 1, lending to ever-expanding service to major cities across the country.
Carnival Cruise lines opened a terminal adjacent to the Queen Mary and becomes the first cruise line to operate in Long Beach.
The Pike at Rainbow Harbor Entertainment Complex opened in the downtown waterfront.
The Long Beach Aquatic Festival features the US Olympic Team Trails-Swimming, the most successful Trials ever in both records broken and attendance. The festival also included the FINA World Championships in men's and women's water polo.
Long Beach is the host city for the "overall finish" of the AMGEN Tour of California professional bicycle race. Eighteen international teams compete in this "Tour de France style" cross country race that covers more than 650 miles of scenic California roadways.

2.2-1 Presumption of Innocence
Revised to December 1, 2007
In this case, as in all criminal prosecutions, the defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This presumption of innocence was with this defendant when (he/she) was first presented for trial in this case. It continues with (him/her) throughout this trial, unless and until such time as all evidence produced here in the orderly conduct of the case, considered in the light of these instructions of law, and deliberated upon by you in the jury room, satisfies you beyond a reasonable doubt that (he/she) is guilty. The presumption of innocence applies individually to each crime charged and it may be overcome as to each specific crime only after the state introduces evidence that establishes the defendant's guilt as to each crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt.1
If and
when the presumption of innocence has been overcome by evidence proving beyond a
reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of the crime charged, then it is the
sworn duty of the jury to enforce the law and to render a guilty verdict.2
1 See State v. Gerald W., 103 Conn. App. 784, 790, cert. denied, 284 Conn. 933 (2007).
2 See State v. DelValle, 250 Conn. 466, 473 n.10 (1999) (encouraging use of this language to deter jury nullification).
"The presumption of innocence is
not evidence . . . but instead is a way of describing the prosecution's duty to
produce evidence of guilt and to convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt."
State v. Gerald W., 103 Conn. App. 784, 789 (2007). The presumption of
innocence and the reasonable doubt standard are "inextricably intertwined."
Id., 789-90 n.4; see also State v. Jackson, 283 Conn. 111, 116 (2007).

You need the ride skill. You can drop the lance. You probably rolled it and didnt notice.
Wow, party AI needs an overhaul. What happens when a party of a human druid, a dwarf and halfing (both rogues), and a bard (me) fights a single giant tortoise? The shit hits the fan. Druid summons a buch of shit, dwarf arrow'd one of them on accident, then it turns into a massive free-for-all with the bard just standing there all D:. The halfing goes down quick to a summoned flaming sphere, the dwarf takes cover in the trees summoned by the druid, and then the summoned critters turn on me. In the chaos I ran from, I don't even know if the tortoise got whacked or not. Being a bard ain't easy.

Excellent. A steady stream of fixes and updates are what keeps me loving this type of game. Good work.Hey folks,
Just wanted to let you know there's a new version
of the game on the website that fixes a whole BUNCH
of different things. Things mentioned here that aren't
fixed yet, I'm going to take a good look at really soon
now. I _am_ reading, even if I don't say much.
Have fun!
Uh, WinRAR? It's nagware, or at least the version I use is, which is close enough to free for me.I hate things that are in rar archives, does anyone know a good free package for windows which will unrar them so I can use them.
Darn... I got some cool armor of invulnerability (non-magic weapons) for my rogue in the character creation, except it's Heavy Armor. I guess that just means Viconia is going priest on level 2, but it'd be nice to be able to examine the perk stuff before having to choose.
Oh yea... I guess Journeyman's played some Baldur's Gate if the name generator is any indication.
Hmm. Can I destroy warding runes somehow? I want to set this dragon guy free.
Also, most of the stuff in the [Y] menu need some way to cancel the action. I don't really want to reak anything in my inventory!
Noo! My 1 uncursed gold piece was destroyed!

(Yeah, I'm going drow now)
(Yeah, I'm going drow now)
Man I hate Maeve. I finally reach DLevel 2 with my ranger and I'm wandering around when I come across this rainbow colored room. It hasn't hit me that it's her altar yet, because I'm focusing on the hostile drow roaming the middle of the room. So I sneak up and stab him in the back, success, flawless victory. His lifeless corpse apparently lands on the altar and Maeve booms some crazy shit about how this is an unacceptable sacrafice. She starts summoning her agents but for whatever reason her agents aren't angry with me. At this point I have no idea what is going on but want to get the hell off this level. I make it 3 steps before she summons 50 owlbears around me who all get first strike. The problem with this death is I don't even know what I did wrong. Was it because I killed a Drow on the altar? Doesn't the bitch hate them so shouldn't that be a really good thing to be dead?
To top it off, she's never even aided me once. I could be dying of poison, disease, low health, and she will restore my goddamn mana.
If anything else, autosac is a bad, bad setting that doesn't seem to be configureable at this point in time. Gonna check the new version.

Much like the MERCHANT screen..Also, any thoughts on adding inspect to the pickup window. I may be the only person who thinks that would be handy, but figured I'd bring it up. So if there were a stack of items and I hit g, the window prompts me for what item I want to pickup and I can inspect right from there if I so choose by hitting x on an item.
How about...* The guilt message is generated at times when it
probably shouldn't be -- specifically, neutral good
characters get it whenever they do anything lawful
*or* chaotic. This confuses players, thinking they
have been evil.
Hmm. Maybe it should automatically impose the moral choices from your preferred alignment (set in 'd' menu) on your summons and allies. And in the case of allies it only counts if it happens again and you keep traveling with them or something.Another thing is that summoned creatures will chase after fleeing creatures giving you bad karma. This means that you can't ever use summoned creatures of any kind (which are pretty damn awesome) if you want to stay good. There needs to be a way for you to impose morality on all of your summons. Also when you're about to cast a spell on a fleeing target it needs to have a confirm attack fleeing target prompt like it does for melee.
Hm. Gauntlets of lightning should count as weapons as far as the "You are empty handed" popups are concerned. Actually... it seems like enemies are getting AoO's as well when I'm trying to use them for melee so dunno what's going on there.
Oh, and my enemies are getting AoO's if I try to punch them while grappling, too.
Oh and any rogue / other melee class people want to chime in with what the key feats that I don't want to miss are?
I got ambidexterity, so I assume I don't need two weapon fighting? Do I need flaurent or whatever that skill is that allows your off hand to be the same size or does ambidexterity cover that too? If I understand right, ambidex removes all offhand penalties? This game has way more feats than any D&D game I ever recall playing, and since I never did the pen and paper thing, it's difficult trying to process how many of these I need. I'm basically just trying to build a survivable two-hand fighting rogue with emphasis on stealth.
I also grabbed combat expertise I believe, the feat that allows you 1+dexmod number of attacks of opportunity. It sounded pretty awesome. I was eyeing larcenous since disarming traps seems to be good exp but figured I may be able to get by with just stat dumping massive points into handle device (and hope they never backfire).
Edit: WOW the font in the new version is MUCH more readable. Nice job.
That's kinda of a bug. He used the Command spell, but apparently the AI doesn't properly target your party; they tend to target themselves with it. A Multitude Cultist kobold did the same thing by telling himself to "kneel" in front of my chaotic neutral bard while fighting him... the kobold did not win the fight.DeepQantas wrote:Noo! I didn't play nice with a Multitude Cultist. The first thing he did was cast a spell on himself causing him to be frightened (yeah what?). Then he tried to flee to the back of the room while surrounding me with summoned monsters.
The problem with that is...if whatever you're grappling still threatens you in the grapple, then punching them is similar to punching them when they're not grappled (they're considered flatfooted to everything else but you, though).

Try on a few different ones - ask to try your friends' carriers, or try different models in stores. When choosing one, you really should try a few different models before you buy. Correct fit is vital, not just for baby but for parents too, so both of you are comfortable, safe and secure.
And that means both parents need to try it on – in a recent CHOICE survey 23% of dads reported noticeable discomfort, the baby almost falling out or even injury to the baby, when wearing a carrier or sling. So, if dad is going to wear the carrier or sling too, it needs to be adjustable in order to fit both parents.
We haven't scored the carriers and slings or recommended any particular models, since our trial was fairly small and selecting one is a personal decision. To help you decide which ones to try, we show how many mums in our trial would consider buying each product, and which products were most preferred by mums (and babies) of different physiques and experiences. We've also included a physiotherapist's assessment of each product.
For more information about transport, see Travel.
A carrier or sling should support a baby sufficiently without overly restricting head, leg and arm movement. The ideal "flexed" posture for a baby is in a "cuddling" position with legs splayed (but not too widely) and supported around the thighs and bottom. Head support is particularly important for younger babies, who have little or no head and neck control.
If you're considering a sling, remember that babies have suffocated in these. At most risk are premature babies or those under the age of four months, or with low birth weight or breathing difficulties. In these cases a pouch or wrap may be a better option. Avoid positioning your baby with their face pressed against the fabric or your body, or lying with a curved back with chin tucked against their chest.
We were limited in how many carriers and slings we could include, so other brands such as Chicco, Combi, Mamas and Papas, and Ryco (Target) missed out this time. While we can't offer specific advice on untested models, the general advice in this report will help you assess them.
We put out a call via Facebook for interested parents with babies aged 0-12 months, and had more than 100 responses (all from mothers – no dads, unfortunately). We selected 10 mums, covering a range of heights, builds, baby ages and personal carrier/sling preferences. They assessed 10 carriers and slings in the CHOICE office to find out which are most comfortable, secure and easy to use.
Physiotherapist Karen Herbert also joined us to observe the mums and babies using the carriers and slings and gave her expert opinion. Karen is a UK-trained chartered physiotherapist with over 20 years' experience. She's currently employed at the Sydney Children's Hospital as a Senior Physiotherapist specialising in child development and neurology.
The parents all had experience using baby carriers, and their babies ranged from less than three months old to over 10 months old. They assessed each product for ease of use, comfort and security while carrying their babies on their front, with the baby facing inwards and (where possible) outward as well. The trial included walking around the neighbourhood, going up and down stairs and bending over.
The trialists gave each carrier an overall rating after assessing the carriers for ease of use, comfort and security.

I received this mirror two days after I placed the order. It comes with wood poles in case you want to mount it to a dresser. I chose to hang the mirror in my entry way above an entry table. The mirror adds sparkle and class to what was an ordinary entryway. I am so pleased with it and I have received many compliments on it. In terms of quality, It is of very high quality. It is a heavy mirror but it does not require any extra anchors in order to be hung on a wall. Two nails (one on the left and one on the right, are all that are required). I highly recommend this mirror to anybody who wants a unique piece in their home.
We purchased this for our downstairs bathroom. We added sconses to each side. It is a fabulous, updated, elegant look.
Luxe looking mirror however, be warned it is very heavy and needs high precision measuring to ensure proper hanging of the item. Be safe and use 50 lb. dry wall anchors before putting in the screws for hanging.
Looks gorgeous over my dressing table. Stunning quality. Looks ten times better than the picture. Worth every penny.
this is very regal and elegant piece. it is well build and looks great. solid wood! very heavy had to reinforced the wall to hang it.
I haven't hung it yet but so far it's a great mirror for the money. I'm hanging it at the on the wall at end of my dining room table. It's meant to make the room look larger. The quality is just about what I expected for the money. The price is comparable to other online stores but Overstock customer service always brings me back to buying from them - it's outstanding.
I bought this to sit atop a mirrored sofa table that I am using as a vanity in my dressing area and just love the look of it. It looks even better in person than in the photos! I typically wouldn't spend this much on a mirror but I knew it was going to be perfect. If you're debating on it just do it, you will truly love the elegance!
This is another fabulous piece. I coupled this with the mirrored Console Table. A beautiful pairing. The quality of this mirror is well beyond the photo. The packaging and delivery were perfect. Again a great offering and good selection for my home! Thrilled!!!
Beautiful mirror- well made. Adds nice amount if bling without being over the top. I attached it to the wall above my vanity.
After having the for 6 months, the little mirror pieces began to crack. It's a beautiful mirror but faulty.

Dan Mayfield [2], Reporter- Albuquerque Business First
The CNM Foundation is kicking off a $10 million fundraising campaign by doing something it's never done before: selling the permanent naming rights of its buildings.
Lisa McCulloch [3], the director of the foundation, told Business First that the school has raised $1 million so far with the campaign, but wants to raise $9 million more in the next three years.
"Like many places, we've named things to honor dignitaries. But now we're making a commitment to offer these to community leaders, to those who would help CNM," she said. "The number one reason students drop out of CNM is unexpected financial issues, so that's where the foundation steps in."
The school has seven campuses with hundreds of buildings.
The first facility to be renamed will be the Sustainable Technology Lab at CNM's Workforce Training Center, which will be renamed the PNM Sustainable Technology Lab. Lovelace Health System [4] has sponsored a nursing facility, the New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union [5] has sponsored the new Student Community Mall and the school's tutoring lab will now be called the Wells Fargo Assistance Center for Education.

Apple to build solar-powered factory in Arizona
The Southwest sure has been getting love lately. First, the critically-acclaimed Breaking Badwas set in New Mexico. Then, there was talk of an underground society in Arizona (which, yes, I constitute as "getting love"). And now, Apple is going to build a components factory in Arizona that runs completely on renewable energy. The factory will even be staffed with humans, instead of robots. Not bad.
The components plant, which will reportedly create more than 2,000 jobs (700 in the first year alongside 1,300 construction jobs), is planned to be in Mesa, Arizona.
Arizona companies will work with Apple in the creation and implementation of "green energy sources," which will be used to power the factory, according to Apple. This'll have bigger implications, as it'll also lay the infrastructure for Mesa to completely green its power grid.
Apple's factory will run on solar power and make the sapphire crystals used in some devices, such as the fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5s.
This all comes at the heel of Apple announcing it will invest $100 million in U.S. production this year, which felt like a PR ploy at the time (especially considering Apple's worth of well more than $100 billion).
We shouldn't expect Apple to begin building all its factories within the U.S. just yet though. After all, it remains cheaper to build overseas. Even the conditions at many of China's factories, the ones that led to the musical The Agony and Ecstacy of Steve Jobs, might not play into the decision as much anymore. After all, Foxconn has its army of Foxbot robots building iPhones.
Given the fact that there will be 20,000 Foxbots building Apple product by the year's end, it's slightly surprising that Apple would decide to create a factory that'll create 2,000 jobs. But we'll take it. A victory for us in the robot versus human war.
And it could lead to greener energy throughout the country? Sounds like a win-win if I've ever heard one.

This spring, the Cincinnati campus of HUC-JIR and the Society for Classical Reform Judaism celebrated the fourth year of a partnership that has enabled a new generation of rabbinic students to encounter the distinctive principles and traditions of the Reform Jewish heritage. In addition to the ongoing scholarship opportunities, liturgical resources, and annual seminars sponsored by the Society, this milestone was marked by a special conference on the theme "reclaiming and renewing our heritage" with a variety of programs exploring the legacies of leading pioneers of the Movement. National lay and rabbinic leaders joined students and faculty, as well as others in regional Jewish communities, to explore the history, values, and vision of the American liberal Jewish tradition in three days of seminars, March 21-23, on the Cincinnati campus.
Video recordings of all sessions are now available online:

Simple things are worth blogging about

Back pain is something that most people deal with at some point in their lives. For minor problems, rest for a few days may be enough to feel good again. Unfortunately, many people have back problems that will not improve without treatment; these problems can cause chronic back pain. Chronic pain is classified as pain that lasts over a long period of time. If you suffer from back problems, you will likely agree that two things must be treated: the back problem itself and the resulting pain. Physicians who specialize in pain management can help you diagnose your disease and manage the pain. They have many diagnostic tools including, but not limited to: x-ray, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scan, ultrasound, discography, electrodiagnostics, and thermography.

As consumers, many people see a product on the shelf of a local retailer, they do not think much beyond the product itself, its packaging, and the price. However there is a whole side to merchandise which many do not think about. The production, transportation, negotiation of raw materials, and logistical implications of a product are huge—even for the most basic merchandise. One of the largest fields in production is the occupation of supply chain management. Supply chain management—referred to some in the field as SCM—is the coordination of flow, movement and storage of goods and materials. From the point of origin to the shelf at the store, this industry manages every step of production. As you can imagine, there is an incredible array of considerations to be made concerning product production. This is why this is one of the largest industries world wide. Growing at incredible rates each and every year. Read the rest of this entry »

There are many dangers of drinking and driving. You are probably very familiar with some of these dangers simply by watching the evening news. Televised stories tell of accidents involving pedestrians, other vehicles, houses, and even storefronts. These types of accidents can have drastic effects on the lives of all involved, yet there are still those who drink and drive. Read the rest of this entry »

On Saturday, November 23rd, 2013, the Tennessee Volunteers will play in a game that could make or break their season. Head Coach Butch Jones and his team will face the Vanderbilt Commodores. The Vols are currently ranked 6th in the SEC East division and the Commodores are ranked in 4th place. If the Vols lose this game, they will be unsuccessful at making a bowl game for the third season in a row. A terrible statistic for fans of Tennessee Vols Football, and yet as bad as that loss may be, losing to the Commodores might sting a little more. Last season, Vanderbilt won against their Tennessee rivals with a 41-18 victory. If the Volunteers lose this year, it will be a back-to-back loss against Vanderbilt and that has not happened since Calvin Coolidge was president. Read the rest of this entry »

Individuals being convicted with a "driving under the influence" offense, face a long and often confusing process, even before they are found innocent or guilty. There are few readily available resources for those who are charged with a DUI offense, making DUI lawyers a valuable asset to have on one's side. In states like Colorado the consequences of a DUI charge start just seven days after the charge, at which point the driver's license is suspended for a period of thirty days.
Alleged DUI offenders have the option of contesting this suspension with the Colorado Department of Revenue; one must do this within seven days after receiving the DUI charge in order to be eligible for the reinstatement of driving privileges. This is the first of many areas where a DUI lawyer can help a client get the best possible results.
Depending on the circumstances, a DUI conviction typically involves the loss of driving privileges for up to two years, 8-12 points added to a license, up to a year in jail, mandatory alcohol education or treatment, up to $1,500 in fines, and much more. Experienced DUI lawyers guide their clients through all steps of the process, as well as working for a dismissal or not guilty verdict whenever possible. Tackling this stressful life event on one's own is an uphill climb; having professional representation can make all the difference.
If you have been charged with a DUI, you want the most qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable DUI attorney to handle your case. The team at Criminal Law Denver can help you achieve the best possible result in your case. To learn more about our firm, please contact us, or visit CriminalLawDenver.com today.

While constructing a home office is fun to do; it's also a treat when everything is finally over and done with. You know, that first time you can sit back and enjoy it. Those last few things you put in your office, is where that "rewarding feel" comes from. Like adding your name to the office with one of those desk name plates that sit right on the front edge of the desk. It will be the first thing folks see, if they come-in and have a seat in your new home office. And speaking of seats, how much seating space should one have in their home office?
I see one nice swivel chair behind the desk with a standard chair on the other side of the desk. You can choose to put 1 or 2 standard chairs in front of the desk. This is where the visitors, business contacts, or friends can come in for a quick seat.
If you plan to put a nice television in your home office, then you might want to consider a couch too. Not a real big couch, but something comfy and off to the side. A couch you can pull out or move to the center of the room, where you and a few friends could see the TV screen better. I would choose a two cushion couch, with a small recliner in the corner. The maximum seating a home office should have is one couch, one recliner, 2 standard chairs, and your own personal office chair that turns around on a swivel. If you have the space to add another chair, recliner, or even a couch, then that is great. Some office spaces might allow room for another couch, but for me, I would prefer to have the open space. Perhaps you could use the space for exercising or putting a golf ball around in the office. Overall, designing home offices can be really fun and they don't cost much to do either! Please be sure to let me know your planning designs, if you choose to tackle a new home office in 2013.

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays could not reach an agreement with their speedy outfielder this baseball off-season. Since he was an un-restricted free agent, this allowed him the ability to sign with any other MLB Team out there. The outfielder in question, is B.J. Upton. A long time player for the D-Rays out of Florida. He didn't need a big map to see where his new home would be. In fact, if he left Tampa Bay and just headed North on I – 75 out of Florida, he would arrive at his new team's stadium that is just about 6 hours north of the Tampa Bay, Florida area. Look on the right hand side of the road in Atlanta and there B.J. would see his new baseball stadium Turner Field.
After signing B.J. Upton in the early portion of the off-season, it didn't look like the Braves had any other big news to announce this off-season. After their former centerfielder Michael Bourn has trouble finding a new team, there was some speculation if the Braves should try to go after him. Since no teams were really going after Bourn, maybe he could be had for a bargain?
While Michael Bourn was having his struggles finding a new team, the Arizona Diamondbacks was rumored to be offering their young superstar Justin Upton in trade offers. There were a couple of deals involving Justin that were real close to happening. In fact, one trade was actually made with the Seattle Mariners; which would have sent Justin north (just like his brother BJ heading north) to the American League Seattle Mariners. However, Justin Upton had a trade clause that allowed him to veto trades and he vetoed the deal and left the Diamondback's front office scratching their heads again.
It must be hard trying to make a professional baseball trade and finally getting it approved by the other team's general manager; only to see it canceled out by the player you're trying to remove from your ball club. Give the Diamondbacks credit, they didn't give up. They kept plucking away and finally struck up a deal with the team that would seem the least likely to provide a new home for Justin Upton.
It was those Braves again! They didn't have their fill on just one Upton in the clubhouse, so they signed up the little brother too. Justin didn't veto this trade and now he seems excited, that he will get a chance to play with his older brother BJ Upton in Atlanta.
The Braves did have to give up fan favorite Martin Prado in the deal and they also sent a really good young pitcher in Delgado to the Arizona D-Backs team. I am a huge fan of Delgado and he has proven his self at every level of baseball. The top pitching prospect in the Braves Organization was no match for Delgado. The Braves have one pitcher who is suppose to be really special in the next few years and so far, Delgado has out-pitched him every step of the way. So the Arizona fans will really like Delgado on their pitching staff; while Martin Prado provides a solid bat in their everyday line up.
On the Braves side of things, they just landed the fastest, most athletic outfield that we have ever seen in Major League Baseball. There is no weak spots to hit to. It would appear for now, the Braves will move Justin to the left field corner, so they can keep Jason Heyward in his normal right field spot; while letting B.J. anchor down the center position in the outfield. You can look around the Majors and see some 2 star outfield defensive players, but finding 3 and three quality ones like the Braves have right now, is just impossible. The Atlanta Braves clearly have the best defensive outfield in the National and American Leagues both; if their 3 main guys stay healthy and they can run Justin, BJ, and Jason out there every single day.
Braves fans are probably excited about the possibilities they have with their batting line-ups too. What we have been able to tell so far, through the interviews and managerial projections, we think the Atlanta Braves batting order will look something like this on paper for the 2013 MLB Season.
1. Andrelton Simmons SS
2. Jason Heyward RF
3. Justin Upton LF
4. Freddie Freeman 1B
5. B.J. Upton CF
6. Brian McCann C
7. Dan Uggla 2B
8. Juan Francisco / Chris Johnson 3B (came from Arizona in Justin Upton Trade)
9. Pitcher
What do you think Braves fans?
A nice line up for sure! Maybe a few too many strikeouts in that line up, but one that can win games late. A 2 or 3 run lead is not safe, when the Braves can get any base runner on and know the guy who is due up next in the batting order has the power to knock it out of the park. The whole line-up has home run power and that has to be draining on the opposing pitchers, who have to face this line up 3 or more times per game. It will not be easy trying to find an out in this line-up.
Chipper Jones is no longer around and this is the first season the Braves will begin without their hall of fame third baseman in a very long time. What really made the Justin Upton trade so good for the Braves team, was the fact they were getting another bat that could play the 3rd base position. The Braves will have 2 guys trying to get that 3rd base position and both players have homerun power. Juan Francisco could have the biggest bat on the team. His homeruns will travel the longest distance on the team. Chris Johnson may have a little better glove and his bat is pretty good too. Look for a platoon situation at third base for now.

Students Enjoying Their School Work
The alarm clock sounds off and its time for school! Another day of leaving the comforts of home and heading to the classrooms of educational hope. If students find their self in a bad environment, they will naturally be more concerned about their surroundings; than what a teacher is saying or what they might be reading from a text book. We want and need our children comfortable in schools, if we hope to get our daily lessons across to them. When schools have the budget to buy new student desks for school and chairs, they need to find ones that are comfortable. Not to the point we have sleeping pupils in the classroom, but ones that make comfort an after thought. If students are working in a clean, comfy environment, then learning becomes the main objective. No student should be thinking of a way to make their chairs sit better or be looking for a way to adjust their desktops up or down.
I think we can all agree that comfortable students that are happy in their surroundings, will develop better learning skills; than those who have to complain for comforts. School is hard enough without the unnecessary distractions. No doubt a school desk that wobbles is disturbing. A classroom that is too cold or too hot, will make learning more difficult. It is up to each teacher, administrator, and parent, to give our kids every educational tool possible, which will help them succeed in school each day.

I notice each time someone wins a lot of money in the lottery, they always choose the "cash option". Where they get paid all their money in one lump sum, but lose more money by choosing this option. If they would select the "yearly payments", it would take 26 years to get all of your money, but the lottery offices would be paying you more money. Obviously if you win millions and millions from the lottery, you're going to choose a few investments, right? If so, why not go with the lottery office investment?
The lottery office investment (as I call it) is real simple. You just choose the 26 year plan, so your other dollars are working like an investment and really better, because this is guaranteed earnings! No investment is 100 percent safe. You can lose money. You won't lose the first cent, if you let the lottery folks pay you in 26 years, instead of the 1 lump sum payment.
Now for those who win like 10 or 25 million dollars. I can understand it better, why you would want the 1 time payment. You wouldn't get too much in that first payment and each year, it would be "modest" earnings in a way, compared to someone who won 200 million and took the yearly payments. If you win 75 million or more from the lottery, you really should think seriously about taking the 26 annual installments as opposed to the one time payment option. You would be earning a great return on your money and this would be a safe, guaranteed return by taking the yearly payouts.
If you take the 1 lump sum payment and invest it, chances are you are going to lose some money and in some cases, it might just stay even, where you don't earn any interest or very little. You get a nice return, by just taking the money in annual payments. For those lottery winners who get 200, 300, or 400 million; you're throwing MILLIONS, yes millions away, if you take the 1 lump sum payment. Get all you can, and don't be too hasty in accepting the one time payment option. Earning a check each year, for 26 years, that pays 1 million and 235 thousand per year isn't that bad. This is still plenty of money for you, your family, your friends, and for you to pay off debts and get to buy a few luxury toys and items. And just when you run out of money and have spent that last penny in that first year. It will then be time to collect your 2nd check, for another 1, 235,000 payment! Now how great is that? Soon you will be having money in your pocket and see the checks piling up on each other and then you can look for other investments then. Don't follow the crowds, take the payments and in the long run, you will be glad you did. Plus doing it this way, you can tell your greedy family and friends that you ran out of money! You can't really do that, when you take that one time payment of 28 and a half million dollars.

In recent years, I see a lot of the real estate markets focusing in on North and South Carolina. I saw that HGTV is having their 2013 Dream Home Giveaway on an island in South Carolina this year. I think that area is beautiful and right next door, you have Sunset beach nc real estate which is just as attractive. If I get lucky and win the contest in February, I will pack up and make the move to South Carolina. If my luck fails (which I expect) then my sights are geared more toward the beaches of North Carolina or the mountains in North Georgia.
I currently live about 40 miles north of Atlanta, in the Peach state of Georgia. I know all the laws and the way this state does their taxes, so I have those reasons for staying in my home state. However, I am ready for a change and North Carolina offers that. I don't want to move too far away from home, so staying in the South is important to me. I think NC real estate property is great, due to the short drive you have to the Atlantic Ocean. The mountains are just as close and it's no problem going to a mountain cabin for a weekend getaway. As long as I have a lot of restaurants near me, I think any of these 3 states would be great, for me to spend the next part of my life in.

Google Surfing Team
No one could have seen what was about to come. It was just a typical weekend in December. It was the 2nd weekend of this month, so nothing new there. It just seemed like another Saturday, it really did!!!
My oh my, how it was all about to change and no one, I mean NO ONE seen it coming. Admin didn't see it, the other teams in Trafficera didn't see it, and even my eyes, with the inside view, didn't even see it…
Oh, where do I begin? Maybe with that first sign that we all had, but none of us really put too much thought into it. Yes, it was that FIRST SIGN, that is where I will begin this amazing story….
Early Saturday Morning, it was 3:08am Server Time and the SkyRockets had just won a race. The Google Team would finish 3rd in that same race and it was our 2nd third place finish in a row. The next race up was a 60 clock race. I wasn't online at this time, but apparently we had a pretty good crew on or at least at some point in this small race, they would make their selves visible.
My entry into this story came at Clock 59. I came in and the Google Team had 59 Clocks out of a 60 Clock Race. I quickly went to the clock race score, to see if another team was with us and luckily there wasn't one. The next team down (2nd place team) had 45 clocks. So we had a 14 clock lead and with my 2nd or 3rd click, it was me that found number 60
The exact time we won this race, was at 6:05 am Server Time (still early Saturday Morning). The celebration was short-lived, cause the next race up was the BIG ONE and it would be the race that would take us all weekend to work for.
The BIG NEW RACE came out at 800 Clocks and right away, the focus quickly went to the SUPER CLOCK; where there was a lot of zero's over there. 6 of them to be exact! Yep, the super clock would read: 1,000,000 time credits (exactly just like that).
Here is where the story gets a little tricky and a bit fishy. Not sure what was going on, but once this big race came out, we all started finding clocks. Not just here and there, but quite frequently. There was enough clocks coming out and from different surfers, that I went ahead and decided to put 1 and 1 together and figured this was going to be a Clock Rain!!!
After all, very unusual to see 1 million on the super clock and a 800 clock race on a weekend day. This info and everyone finding clocks so fast, had to meant it was raining, right?
So without little hesitation, I scoot my keyboard close to my chest, clear my throat, and begin to yell at the top of my lungs:
You get the picture, right?
Call it faith?
Call it destiny?
Call it luck?
Or just call it a few choice names or just plain BS, but the score don't lie.
With me scrolling the chat, yelling "RAIN" and the other Google Surfers surfing as fast as their clickers could go, we was building up a nice little lead, as we kept our number 1 Ranking from last race to this BIG Race.
So if you can just picture for a moment now…it is still early Saturday morning. In the other 38,000+ team rooms, you just have a couple of surfers surfing, a brand new race that has just started, and since it is 800 clocks, they are all getting comfy, to what looks like a long day.
While in the Google Room, you have 8 surfers clicking their fingers to the bone and me still yelling "RAINING CLOCKS!!!….RAIN!!!! SURF FAST….FASTER TEAM FASTER!!! WE ARE LEADING TEAM, GO GO GO….ITS RAINING CLOCKS!!!!"
Was I happy? No doubt!!!
What could have been better? Our team was winning, with a nice group of surfers online, and this surprise from Admin, to give us this Weekend Rain. Life was good and what possibly could go wrong now??
So I jumped the gun just a little? It was just a wee little mistake, that could have happen to anyone, right? After being frantic and loud for 1 hour, a few things started to come into focus a bit better. Ok, it wasn't a "few" things, just one little "thing".
It was early Saturday.
It was a Big 800 Clock Race.
And there was really 1 million credits on the super clock.
What wasn't so, was the little thing about the rain. Yep, the thing I had been screaming over and over, turned out to NOT be true. The darn clocks was just as slow as ever.
I will never know why we all found clocks so fast that morning. Those that were surfing with me, thought it had to be true too. Apparently, we just all hit a run of clocks at the same time and since we were all fast surfing, it made the clocks look even faster, than what they really were.
So now I find myself in BIG trouble. Got 1/3 of the team all pumped up for a short 4 hour race in the rain for 20,000 credits each. Now we are facing a 24+ hour race, and our lead at this time was still very modest. Maybe 10 or 20 clock lead.
But where there's a WILL, there's a WAY! And this is the part of the story that I could have never seen in a million zillion years.
As the morning kept creeping along, a few things were beginning to take shape. The Google Team had a few new surfers on the team and they wasn't running away yet. Our core surfers and the ones I count on each day to help us win races and be competitive, wasn't really around. Maybe 1 or 2 here and there, but never staying for very long.
A few key folks were starting to emerge and their clicks and the clocks they were finding, was going up on our side of the scoreboard. Each one of them was doing it pretty fast too.
It didn't take too much longer in the race and we started to see a team pulling away from the others. Was it the SkyRockets? What about New Beginning? Nope and Nope! Actually it was us!!!
The Google Team, without their normal cast of stars, were being led in a very big race, by the new guys on the team. It was the….
This new crew of surfers came in like any other surfers we have had here before. As most of you know, I send out a lot of new invites every week. And we get a lot of new surfers coming in every week. I always hope that each new surfer we get, becomes the next Paul Kinder or someone that will stick around a few months with us.
It's hard to keep up with the other top teams here, so our guidelines do have to be strict. We need surfers who will wake up daily and come online daily, to check on the team and to help out in the clock races as much as possible. Not many make the grade and we end up doing a lot of adding and subtracting here.
Ever so often, we do get lucky and find that diamond in the rough. However, we never find a group of them at one time and I think we have managed to do that this time.
What my eyes have seen over the last 36 hours or so, is a group of very dedicated surfers. These Google Rookies are already showing loyalty, strength, the desire to succeed, and that rare and unique ability to NEVER QUIT; even when the odds are stacked up against you.
This Google Rookie Class is made up of the following people and our teammates:
*EarnForLife – is showing up daily and is willing to stick around and finish the job when needed. Very Important Clocks in the 800 Race.
*Berlison – Wow, what a surfer. No doubt a key in the big 800 race and was finding clocks in the daytime and nighttime too. Made a commitment on Sunday, to stay til the end of the race.
Handy49 – Not happy with the amount of clocks they are finding, but they never quit. Very steady surfer, flexible, and is as good as any of the other Google Rookies.
Szanto425 – Going with a honorable mention here. The newest of the rookie class and just showed up on Saturday, so still a few questions remain. However, if Saturday was any indication to the heart of this surfer, then we got us a good one. Not sure where we would be without her and she surfed all day Saturday. If she can just give us a fourth of her production thru out the weekdays; on a daily basis; then she will have a spot here for a very long time!
That is the super-star side of the rookie class and we might have 1 or 2 more on the team, that join this crew soon. Hopefully we will find more surfers out there, that have the Mad SKILLzzzz; like this group has right now!
Oh BTW….
I guess a few of you are still wondering about that BIG 800 Clock Race and how it came out? Well we lost and finished 5th place…no credits ;((( Sorry, we will get'em next time!
Yeah right Dish….ha ha ha
The real story of the 800 Clock Race goes like this….
1 001 Google Ranked Us 800 50
2 A New Beginning 687 25
3 1st SkyRockets 608 15
4 Friends 489 10
5 01 Traffic Attitude 458 0
*Google won by 113 clocks.
**23 Members on the Team at the end of race and each Google Member got paid: 7,750 Credits Each
The sad part of this story is we could have did so much better. Our biggest lead in the race, was over 200 clocks. Yes! We had a 200+ clock lead in this 800 clock race!!

Ready for Inspection
Now is the time to inspect your natural gas heating system. A properly maintained heating system runs more efficiently and safely. It also saves you money.
• Make sure the unit is free of dust, rust or any other signs of corrosion. Clear the space around the furnace from items like paint, solvents, rags, paper or any other combustible products.
• Check the air filter regularly, every one to two months. Replace or clean it if necessary. You can save five percent or more on energy bills by doing so regularly.
• Have a licensed heating and air contractor check the inside of the unit. Their inspection should include a thorough examination of the blower, blower belt, heat exchanger and flue system.
• Space heaters need an annual inspection too. As with any gas appliance, trouble signs to look for are a yellow flame, soot, a lingering pungent smell, or overheating. The technician should vacuum any debris that has build up around the burners. If the heater is an older model and does not have an oxygen depletion sensor, it should be replaced.

Apparently, shiitake grows on gum trees too, but I didn't try it so far.
I don't know were oyster mushroom grows, but I still have a bit of time left until I have got sufficient mycellium.
Maybe I have to grow it first in grain before I can plant it out.
I should maybe try white vinegar, because I don't use harsh chemicals like bleach which is chlorine.

This phone will only be nice if it is free with 2yr contract.

Your mom will only be nice if she is free with a 2 yr contract. In reality, your mom is much like this phone. Not a bad piece of equipment by any means, it's just that everyone is so spoiled from having it free with a 2 year contract that now everyone expects anything that isn't top of the line to be free, all just because it isn't top of the line...like your mom. But sadly the only phones that come free with a 2 yr contract these days are discontinued or...refurbished...ick. I'm not sure I'd want a refurbished mom...unless she comes free with a 2 yr contract, then she'd be nice. But you know the thing about refurbished phones, they usually are tested 50 different ways to make sure they are active and viable before being released back into the wild...which means your mom might be pretty experienced at least. I guess what it really comes down to...does your mom require a mail in rebate?

When I first began ADDANAC CITY as a webcomic, I had not the slightest inkling as to whether it would survive to make it for an entire year. I had witnessed guys I'd started out with simply disappear from the scene. I'd seen cartoonists become disenfranchised with their creations. I've seen strips where the audience just wasn't there, and the series' didn't stand a chance of prospering. How was I to know if ADDANAC CITY would make it? The odds were stacked heavily against me.
If I was in this for the money, I would have quit long ago. There are more than 26,000 active webcomics appearing on the internet at any given time. Only a small number (a very small number) reach the upper echelons of the industry and become profitable. If you're gonna create a webcomic, financial success should be an afterthought. If the money comes, then fine. But, first and foremost, you should do it for the love.
You've gotta love and enjoy what you're doing. Your passion, energy, and determination is what will draw your audience to you. If they feel that you're just phoning it in or that you're merely trying to stuff related merchandise down their throats, the viewers will leave you hangin' in an instant. If you're passionate about creating, the audience will be passionate about reading what you create.
I can see for myself how much ADDANAC CITY has changed and grown since its initial incarnation. I can almost cringe now when I pore through the early strips. That's a good thing, though. If I don't have any growth as an artist and/or writer, then I haven't learned anything during my year-long trek through the World Wide Web. Hopefully, next year (God willing), I'll look back at today's strip and see where I could have done it better.
I hope that ADDANAC CITY and I will be around for a long time to come. I can't guarantee anything, but I promise to deliver for as long as you, Dear Reader, will have me. I want you to love AC as much as I do.
As far as today's comic goes, there are quite a few guest-appearances occurring. Some of the characters shown you may be familiar with, some you may not. In order to alleviate any confusion, I'm gonna point out who's who, and you can match 'em up and check out their own individual comics. Here we go….
PANEL ONE: We have Alp from Tony Piro's Calamities of Nature and Charlie Brown and Snoopy from Charles Schulz's Peanuts.
PANEL THREE: There's Raul from Matt Stout's Big Sandy Gilmore.
PANEL FOUR: You have Zorphbert and Fred from Dawn Griffin's Zorphbert and Fred comic. There's also a background glimpse of Shaggy and Scooby.
PANEL FIVE: There's Peter Griffin of Family Guy.
PANEL SEVEN: We've got Joe! from Michelle Billingsley's JOE comic and Kreg of Craig Babin's Life With Kreg comic.
PANEL EIGHT: You can see Archie and Jughead from Archie Comics, Oskar from DAVID LAMASON's Unbearable Bears comic, and Mike from John K's Pointe East comic.
PANEL NINE: There's the main character from K.J. Rhue's and L.M. Rhue's Not A People Person comic, Ace Pilot from Speearr's Terence N Tijuana comic, and Max from Karl Kleese's Willow's Grove comic.
PANEL TEN: We also have Ogden T. Monster from Phil Oliveira's Canned Ham comic and Matt from Matt Barak's and Donald Poquiz's Straight Face Comics.
PANEL ELEVEN: Take a gander at John Campos, the dad from Neftali Rivera's Midtoon comic, and Jim from Nate Fake's The Frustrated Cartoonist comic.
PANEL TWELVE: There's Bunny Wiggins from Jerome Benedict's Muddle Creek comic, Hodge from Jynksie's How Sweet It Is comic, George from John Norton's George comic, and Marge Simpson from Matt Groening's The Simpsons.
Whew! That's a lotta guest-stars, but I enjoyed incorporating these characters into ADDANAC CITY's 1 Year Anniversary Special. I worked hard on this milestone and I hope it shows.
Thank you so very much for taking time out of your schedule to drop by and check out this lil' ditty. You could have been anywhere in the world today, but right now, you're here with me. And that means more to me than you'll ever realize. Gracias!
So, I hope you'll stick around with me, Hank, and the rest of the gang throughout this next year. I've got loads of neat stuff planned: There's a new student matriculating to Addanac City Elementary, Uncle Jack goes on an adventure during his bail hearing, and Mr. and Mrs. Addanac learn more about themselves and each other. And, of course, we're gonna see more of ol' Hank as he does his best to bust up the status quo whenever the opportunity arises.
Stay tuned!
*All characters depicted in this Addanac City comic strip are copyrighted by their respective creators (so nobody try and sue me, okay?)

The Daily Prompt asks what's the most time I've ever spent apart from my favorite person.
The first thing that came to my mind was my family. It has been four years since I last saw them. Since moving to Denmark in 2009, I never had the chance to go home. I have been so occupied integrating to the new culture, studying in the university and starting a new life here with the husband, that spending money on a trip home had not been a top priority.
Four years of being so far away from family isn't all that easy especially during birthdays and Christmas season. I guess every foreigner living away from home can relate to experiencing homesickness especially during the holidays. My past Christmases and birthdays here in Denmark had been pleasant but it can never fill an empty void in my heart. It's a longing for family traditions that I grew up with – it's missing the faces that knew me really well – it's a yearning for the familiar and comfort.
On my last birthday, I had to fight back my tears as I sat with my Danish family for coffee and cake. I listened sadly because I barely understood their fast spoken Danish. They were all laughing except me. I sat and observed how everyone on the table looked so blonde and extremely different from me. The differences felt so pronounced having been surrounded by them. At that moment, I felt like the odd one out. As I ate my traditional Danish cake, my thoughts have wandered far away. My mind was filled with thoughts of home. I thought how my mom would have prepared an elaborate feast if I was home celebrating my big birthday; a buffet party spread of my favorite cake and assortment of Filipino party food. I imagined our house in Manila blaring with music, friends breaking into impromptu silly dance moves and the karaokephiles singing their hearts' out at the other end of the room. I would have been around with my family and friends who talks like me and looks like me. Needless to say, I was aching for home.
But with all credit due to my husband and his family, they really took me in with open arms and have been very welcoming and supportive from Day 1. I guess it's a challenge that every person who chose to settle away from home had to face and endure. Thankfully, the tech gods made face-to-face communication possible despite being thousands of miles apart.
With most of our commitments settled and school being finished by spring of next year, we are finally going home to spend the next Christmas in Philippines (-: I am really excited to show Lars how holiday season is spent in the tropics :) I am sure he is just as excited to be sunbathing and laying on white sand in December, LOL.

It is a poor swimmer and uses its fins to crawl over the seabed at night in search of sea urchins, which it grabs using its pointed front teeth and crushes using broad rear teeth. Females lay unusual spiral egg cases, which they wedge into crevices.
- Order Heterodontiformes
- Length Up to 5 ft (1.7 m)
- Weight Not recorded
- Depth 0–900 ft (0–275 m)
