Material: 60% Baby alpaca, 40% merino wool
Brand: Eugenia Kim
Origin: United States
NYC-based designer Eugenia Kim launched her quirky hat and accessories collection after designing a fabulous headpiece to cover up a particularly terrible haircut and inadvertently causing a sensation. Kim was a Parsons student when she designed her hairdo-hiding headpiece and wore it around Manhattan, quickly catching the attention of boutique owners. These days Kim is known for her men's and women's hats, scarves and winter accessories, which feature innovative shapes, luxe materials, and atypical details. Designs like the Felix cat hat (a knit cap with cat ears), the Carmen floppy fedora, and the straw sun hats and woven caps of the Genie series have made Kim a favorite among celebrities like Beyoncé, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, and Madonna. In addition to her own designs, Kim has collaborated with the iconic hat brand Stetson on a collection inspired by the colorful paintings of American artist Georgia O'Keeffe.

Conservation genetic techniques and principles are of increasing importance to today's management and conservation activities. Information gained from using genetic tools can be used to define populations, provide guidelines to manage populations, and understand population connectivity at both fine scale and landscape levels. Genetic information is useful for the application of strategic habitat conservation, for LCC's to identify populations for establishing population objectives, and for management of threatened, endangered, or other species of conservation concern. Discussed will be the conservation genetic capacity within the FWS, examples of how that capacity is being used, and the conservation genetics community of practice.

Material: Nylon, Leather
Brand: Perry Mackin
Origin: Imported
A blah diaper bag can take a your outfit from fab to drab like nobody's business – which is why we love these Perry Mackin diaper bags, which combine supreme functionality with some of the most chic bag silhouettes we've ever seen. Perry Mackin was born when two moms decided to combine their powers to create bags that were super-stylish and performed like nobody's business, with roomy innards, tons of pockets and matching changing mats – and they've certainly succeeded. The trendy diaper bags look posh (with names to match, like Harper, Alexis and Zoey), but are made of waterproof fabric that wipes down to a clean slate after any inevitable changing-room accidents occur. The best part? Once you're past the diaper stage, these bags make great everyday purses – no compromise necessary.

80th INTERNATIONAL INSTRUCTORS COURSE IN QUEENS, NY-USA
From March 22-24, 2013, the National Taekwon-Do Association-ITF and Master Ruben Suarez (VIII Dan) hosted the 80thInternational Instructor Course in Queens, NY, USA. In attendance were 132 participants—including 10 masters, 55 instructors and 67 1st– 3rdDan students—from several states across the US, as well as Canada, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Paraguay, Spain and Italy.
Friday morning everyone gathered at the Fitzgerald Auxiliary Gymnasium of Queens College in Flushing, New York, where they were introduced to the Technical Committee of the ITF: Grand Masters Hector Marano, Wim Bos and Ung Kim Lan. After a rigorous warm-up, a demanding afternoon was spent absorbing vast information that covered fundamental movements, patterns, step-sparring, free sparring, as well as numerous other aspects of Taekwon-Do.
In the evening, the majority of those in attendance donned their best and joined in at the IIC Banquette, which was held at the beautiful, waterfront World's Fair Marina in Flushing, Queens—the site of the 1964 World's Fair. Amidst an elegant atmosphere of dining and friendship, Master Suarez paid special tribute to the 47thAnniversary of the ITF, presenting plaques of appreciation to the Grand Masters, and offering thanks for the tremendous support and friendship he received in the planning and organization of the IIC.
The following morning, the group reconvened at Queens College for Day 2 of the IIC that covered, in further detail, the many different elements of Taekwon-Do, including a discussion of the technical application of the black belt patterns, and an exciting practical session in self-defense and free sparring led by GM Ung Kim Lan. Saturday evening closed with the distribution of certificates and group photos, and marked the conclusion of the seminar for 1st– 3rd degree participants.
On Sunday morning, all participants IV degree and up gathered for the final morning of the seminar where GM Trajtenberg spoke about having a better understanding of the student-instructor relationship, the responsibilities of the instructor in the teaching and adherence to proper ITF protocol, and understanding the individual character of each student in order to enhance their development both inside the Do-jang and in their personal affairs.
At the end of the seminar testing took place for VII and VIII degree Master promotions, as well as V and VI degree.
The reviews of the IIC were exceptional, as participants reported a weekend filled with valuable information, invaluable friendship, and the joys of sharing the true spirit of Taekwon-Do!

Round stainless steel case with silver tone dial, date window at 3 o'clock, and black ionic plated stainless steel bezel
Material: Black ionic plated stainless steel and stainless steel
Brand: Android
Origin: Imported
Android founder Wing Liang derives inspiration for his watch designs from the world at large: "from a sci-fi movie to music, from a car to a toaster," he elaborates. Since establishing his company in 1991, Liang has created high-quality timepieces that combine traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking designs rendered in bright colors and futuristic, space-age motifs (consider the "Alien" watch, whose two side-by-side faces eerily resemble a pair of Martian eyes). Android's extensive line of skeleton watches — the Ninja, the Radius, the Impetus automatic — features durable, hardened mineral crystals and either ceramic or stainless steel cases. Android's high-end, limited edition watches include the sleek Tourbillon and the Divemaster — a stainless steel chronograph that's water-resistant to 660 feet.

As stated in Part 1, confidence is a co-creation: you believe something about yourself; the world affirms it; and then you feel it. It sounds easy enough, right? Once you decide you want to be more self-confident and instill confidence in others, you can start the journey.
Building confidence is just like building anything else. It takes a plan, some time, and maybe a little support from others. I like to think of things in three simple steps. So, "How do you get confidence?"
1. Define yourself.
2. Align your goals (little ones and big ones) with your values.
3. Achieve your goals by keeping the little and big promises that you make to yourself.
Define yourself: Spend some time thinking about your strengths and your passions. Find out what drives you. Some questions that you might ask yourself are:
· "What comes easily for me?"
· "What makes me most happy?"
· "What stops time for me?"
· "Around what types of people am I most engaged and at ease?"
Align your goals: Use your self-assessment to set some personal or professional goals. Make sure that the goals align with your passion and have meaning to you, so that when you accomplish them, you will feel a sense of fulfillment. For example, if you have a knack for cooking, plan to enhance your skills with a few classes and host a dinner party for some friends.
Remember goals are time specific. Those other things you want to do "one day" are called wishes. So make a plan, and stick to it.
Achieve your goals: Every big goal is achieved in small steps. Make note of the little steps and promise to take them. Keep your promises. As you make progress, you appreciate your strengths along the way. Affirmations (speaking your future desires in present tense) are great reminders of our promises, and affirmations keep negativity at bay. When you misstep, stumble, or fall–get back up. Never dwell on negative thoughts about yourself, just concentrate on your best attributes, adjust your plan and carry on.
While you are on the path toward your goals, aligned with your passion, you will get compliments -receive them! Never underestimate the power of embracing acknowledgement for what you do well. When someone compliments you, it means that they have confidence in you!
Confidence is a co-creation.What do you think?

caitlyn Posts: 1Hoping my message will update some answers. I too am looking for an SUV that's is low enough to get in (I must be able to sit down and not lift up my leg to get in) and high enough to get out of i.e. without having to pull myself up (muscle atrophy). I have a Subaru Forrester which is fine to get in but getting out is no longer something I can do with two bad knees & arthritis. The seats are sedan-size low. Plus higher cars have a wide lip preventing me from just leaning my butt against the seat and getting in. I am 5'4 and basically need a 29-30" high seat (the forrester is 26" from the seat to the ground). My physical therapist has literally measured all this for me as I hunt for my new car.
I am looking at the Ford Escape but am paranoid as I fell getting into a Toyota Highlander which, to a petite person like me, was a bus.
Thank you for your thoughtful responses. Also, you'd think salespeople or their managers would be more accomodating afterall helping someone out will lead to a possible sale and good word of mouth. -
lmpalmer1 Posts: 3Hopefully someone's still watching this thread. I created another thread outlining my problem, but I'll copy it here and maybe get some more exposure/answers.
Asking this question on behalf of my grandmother, who is in the market for a new car and has asked me to help. She currently drives an '03 Camry and has one major complaint that has her looking for another car: she has severe arthritis in her hands and the steering wheel is too stiff for her to turn comfortably or easily. The steering wheel isn't stiff in general (I have no trouble with it), but her hands are so weak that steering has become a serious problem, and that's obviously not a minor problem to have when dealing with a car.
I've been trying to research models whose steering wheels are more easily manipulated than others, but almost nothing has come up. I get a lot of hits for heated steering wheels, but that's not going to help much.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions for cars with what I guess you might call a flexible steering wheel. There may be an industry or insider term for that; if there is I don't know it. As far as other requirements go, she wants a 4-door automatic sedan, preferably not American, and price really isn't a concern (unless Lamborghini's are famed for having forgiving steering wheels, in which case that would be a tad overboard). Very grateful for any help anyone can give me. -

- Re: First Trimester Screen/ Ultrascreen
that"s great that your test went well i'm sorry to hear about your cat.
I hope that this doesn't come off the wrong way, because this is a genuine question. This is my first pregnancy and we've decided to not take any of these screening tests. From my understanding, unless you are going to terminate the pregnancy, there really isn't anything you can do to change the state of the baby, so why even go through the worry of taking these tests? It just seems like it would cause a lot of extra stress about something you can't change. I've read that a lot of people take these tests so I feel like I must be missing something. Why have you guys chosen to take them?
lilygirl that's pretty much why I decided not to take the extra screenings. But I know lots of moms who have taken them since they would want to be prepared if their baby is higher risk.
I don't think you have to feel like you're missing out on anything. The ultra screens they need to use for the diagnostic tests are much more expensive than the regular u/s, which is another reason we won't be doing it. The bill for us through our hospital system would be at least $1800 for the test and since we are on a high deductible plan would have to pay every penny of it.

Democrat Brad Schneider ready to 'roll up my sleeves' after winning GOP House seat
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter email@example.com November 7, 2012 9:24PM
Democratic candidate for U.S. Representative from the 10th district Brad Schneider works a phone bank in Grayslake, Illinois as he and volunteers campaign Sunday November 4, 2012. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: December 9, 2012 7:53PM
Who is the Democrat who unseated the Republicans from their 10th Congressional District stronghold of some 30 years?
"I'm not different from most of the people in this district," says Brad Schneider, the 51-year-old businessman from Deerfield who bested freshman U.S. Rep. Bob Dold of Kenilworth in an upset Tuesday.
"I'm feeling great," the first-time candidate said a day after he narrowly won one of the most hotly contested and costly congressional races nationwide. "I'm excited to roll up my sleeves and get to work on the challenges we face."
Schneider, who ran a campaign criticizing Republicans for obstructing movement by Congress on any number of major issues facing the nation, tapped into Dold's vulnerability in the remapped north suburban district that, once mostly Republican, is now Democratic leaning.
"I think the message in general this election was frustration throughout the country with gridlock in Washington, that voters want to have people who are going to work together to get things done," says the self-proclaimed progressive regarded as a moderate.
In his campaign, Schneider promoted views standing with President Barack Obama on critical issues such as health care, immigration reform, women's rights and the environment. Former President Bill Clinton made robo calls on his behalf.
But Schneider won't point to any particular factor as key to his victory in this economically diverse district that sprawls across parts of northern Cook and Lake counties, from Lake Michigan to Fox Lake.
Its demographics are in part 18 percent Hispanic, 10 percent Asian and 6 percent African-American.
"No one thing was sufficient," he says. "It was a close race, and everything we did — from our ground game to the volunteers, the staff, the consistency and discipline in our message — every single thing, was necessary in order to do what we did."
So what's first on his agenda?
"The most important thing is getting our economy going, so we can get people back to work," he says. "I want to emphasize infrastructure. I want to emphasize manufacturing, exports — to restore a culture of innovation that allows us to invent things here and then export them around the world. I want to emphasize education, working to enhance and reinforce our STEM curriculums and get teachers the resources they need to effectively teach."
And he has a particular affinity for helping small businesses, says Schneider, who holds an M.B.A. from Northwestern University, and has run Cadence Consulting Group, LLC, his management consulting firm, since 2008.
His decision not to release his tax returns — citing privacy for wife Julie — was fodder for criticism by his opponent, as were documents showing Schneider's firm, specializing in strategic planning for family owned businesses, reported no revenues for several years.
Schneider shakes off the campaign dirt.
"I define myself as first and foremost, my priorities being my family," says the father of two — Adam, 19, and Daniel, 18, whose soccer and baseball teams he coached for 12 years. Biking is another of his loves.
And for now, he foresees not having too much to say in the near future.
"I was raised that you have two ears and one mouth — use them in proportion. So I intend to do a lot of listening," he says.
"I've gotten the success I've had in life by working collaboratively with others. I think that's what will make me successful in Congress. For better or worse, I'm just a nice guy that really believes that people working together can get anything done."

Posted Aug 16, 2012
By Steve LeporeHow did NBC do with the 2012 Summer Olympics, and what can they learn from London for the future Games?
This is admittedly a completely extreme and unnecessary stretch to compare one thing to another, but I need something British, so here goes: England's Monty Python once sang that "every sperm is sacred." In a way, that's also true for Olympic broadcasting.
Every Olympics on TV is sacred. It's the only sports property that draws comparable numbers to football in this country, so it needs to be treated with care. Because technology has changed in some significant way every time the Games are held, they are also unique. Therefore, every Olympic Games broadcast is sacred. Phew.
If you look at this from a diehard sports fan's standpoint, you're going to say that this was all horrid. We knew about everything before we watched it in primetime, NBC made no effort to try and get with the times, and the streaming quality was often terrible.
However, if you went beyond that audience — and most of the people who watch the Olympics do — you didn't care, you were just constantly enthralled by the action. Viewers got fatigued a bit on the Olympics late in the second week (something that happens often) but they rarely fell below an audience that, say, the highest-rated game of the NBA Finals would draw. That's a lot of people tuning in to a television event in 2012. NBC's broadcast strategy was so good, they got 18.5 million people to watch a Matthew Perry sitcom just because it aired after the Olympics. That, my friends, is remarkable.
So what tangible criticisms can you levy at NBC beyond the angry Twitter pitchfork holders?
Let's talk about Ryan Seacrest first, since he seemed to draw the most ire outside of tape delays. It isn't wrong for NBC to use him, since they're paying him a ton of money and they can't get their worth out of him just reporting what Lindsay Lohan drank on corporate sibling flagship E! News every night. A lot of people use Seacrest — a completely competent broadcaster and host — to get their frustrations out about the idiocy of reality television. Those criticisms missed the point.
The fact is that Seacrest was rarely used well. Any time a network thinks of having somebody check out what's going on with social media, they should take a breath, wait five seconds and then choose to not do that. The sports TV trend of reading tweets on air needs to stop. You can have a bottom line displaying social media buzz, but don't talk about it, and especially not with Seacrest. A suggestion for next time around? Let him either do travelogue pieces and interviews, or let him host NBC's dull late night show, which could use a little bit of youth. Mary Carillo's not exactly a name the American Idol audience is passionate about, or knows.
Another idea? Let him interview any athlete under the age of 30, which keeps Bob Costas from making some reference to a pop culture or sports icon from decades ago that the Gabby Douglases and McKayla Maroneys and Missy Franklins of the future will have never heard of.
Costas is one of the best at what he does and, for a generation, the only Olympic host they know. He is the best at transitioning from sport to sport, story to story, but his 60 years of age (seriously, Bob Costas is 60!) showed when interviewing the teenage U.S. gymnastics team, and even some older than that. Let Seacrest bring some perspective to our younger Olympians, and have Costas handle the historical stuff.
Elsewhere, Al Michaels and Dan Patrick made for a solid tag team in daytime, handling more hours than Jim Lampley (the daytime host of many past Summer Olympics) had ever handled, and appearing to have fun doing it. The fact that Michaels and Patrick would often switch off and on, and go see Olympic events during their off hours, gave them a unique, roving reporters-style that hadn't really been done before. I quite liked what they did, though I don't know if there'll be enough events to cover in Sochi to have them do this again.
The talent is something I can come up with little to complain about in general. Props go to Liam McHugh and Michelle Beadle (who started work at 4 a.m. ET every morning) for making an entertaining show on NBC Sports Network. McHugh's work, in particular, on the women's gold medal soccer match was terrific, even working Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers into the mix and making it seem like it made sense. CNBC's boxing studio show was solid, with Fred Roggin inviting in B.J. Flores and Laila Ali to provide solid commentary. The team sports (basketball, soccer, water polo, handball, field hockey) were all well-covered and stayed away from tape delays for the most part.
The streaming issue is something that will get better as technology improves, but the fact is that NBC wasn't ready for this type of action. You were seeing audiences of millions tuning into various events, and that likely caused problems at keeping the world feed up. That is inexcusable, but is also something that can't necessarily get worse as technology develops.
The fact is that on television, NBC continuously steps their game up at the Olympics. They give people a product they want to watch, pretty much whenever they want it. Want to see Olympic action at 4 a.m. ET? It's there. How about at 2 p.m. ET? There. 9:30 p.m. ET? There. Olympic action was live for every hour of every day, save for 1:30 a.m. ET to 4:00 a.m. ET. Even then, you could catch a repeat of NBC's primetime show. It's not as if the Olympics, save basketball, are sports you have a jonesin' for at any other point during the next four years. They put it on, and you watched. Be thankful that the Olympics aren't on ESPN, or all your complaints would be added to Chris Berman, Stuart Scott, and probably Skip Bayless talking over it all.
The question becomes this: what can NBC take away from their most successful (ratings-wise), yet perhaps most maligned (in social media) broadcast of the Olympics to 2016 in Rio? Or even 18 months from now in Sochi?
When you look at the factors I mentioned leading up to that question, the answer is: not much. This is especially true when it comes to comparing a Winter Olympics to the Summer Olympics. There are far fewer events in the Winter Games, and even fewer than that will get primetime coverage. NBC will likely parcel out a channel for hockey (NBC Sports Network), a channel for the inexplicably beloved-for-two-weeks curling (CNBC), put the marquee events on NBC primetime (figure skating, speed skating, skiing) and everything else on some other cable network.
The one comparable from London to Sochi will be tape delay, and things may get even worse. There is a nine-hour delay from Sochi to the Eastern time zone in the United States. That guarantees that, unless Olympic officials allow events to air in the very wee hours of the morning (as in Beijing), you will see nothing live in primetime yet again at the Olympics in 2014. Will NBC air some primetime events live on cable, then re-air in primetime? Will streaming become even more pervasive? Or will they just keep doing what works? I would hope that we see the first of those options, but am eternally pessimistic it'll be the last.
The more compelling quagmire is 2016 in Rio, which is only one hour ahead of the eastern time zone. Then it becomes an issue of fitting all the marquee events in a small window, and finding a way to show as much live as you can. It's a more difficult trick than you might think: what if the U.S. gymnastics team performs at the same time as Missy Franklin's attempt at a gold medal? What if Usain Bolt is running while the women's volleyball gold medal match is in the same slot?
So many questions, many of them unique to those games. That's why every Olympic broadcast is sacred. The real accomplishment is making every Olympic broadcast good.

Time for Bears to move on — without Lovie Smith
BY RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com December 30, 2012 9:22PM

Updated: March 1, 2013 2:37AM
DETROIT — I'd like to thank the Vikings for putting the Bears out of my misery.
The thought of another three hours spent watching this offense attempt to transport an oval object into an end zone was almost too much to handle. When the Bears sent away the woeful Lions 26-24 Sunday, it left open the possibility of more stalled drives and 20-yard field goals by Olindo Mare in the postseason. Some of us started sizing up our wrist veins.
But then the Vikings knocked off the Packers 37-34 to deprive the Bears of a playoff spot and pretty much save the world from nuclear winter. Thank you, Adrian Peterson.
So let the Lovie Smith Era come to an end, and let it come quickly. Let this nine-year reign of blank looks and over-the-top optimism in the face of limited success screech to a halt.
Time to act, Phil Emery.
The Bears' general manager stood looking at a TV inside the locker room after the victory, watched the Vikings score a touchdown to take a 10-0 lead in the first quarter and walked away quietly. What was he thinking? That life would be much better if the Bears got into the playoffs? That it was time for a change and that a Vikings victory would make a Lovie firing that much easier?
Or that he'd have to see which way the wind was blowing at the McCaskey compound?
The Bears have been to the playoffs only once in the last six seasons. In Smith's favor, they finished 10-6 this season, which sounds good, doesn't it? But to his everlasting detriment, they fell apart after starting the season 7-1, becoming the first team since the 1996 Redskins to miss the playoffs after such a start.
That's really all anybody, including Emery, needs to know. But he was cryptic at best when asked about Smith during his weekly pregame interview on WBBM-AM (780).
Smith has "done an outstanding job coaching the Bears" and is a "great team-first person," Emery said.
It left us scrounging for signs. Did it mean anything that Emery used the past tense when describing the job Smith has done? And what did "great team-first person'' really mean? Does anyone know a coach who isn't a team-first person? Was it faint praise?
What was on display inside Ford Field was the same product that has been on display during most of the Smith Era — a ball-hawking, playmaking defense and an offense that couldn't score if you gave it four tries from an opponent's 5-yard line on National Positive Self-Esteem Day.
The Bears forced four turnovers and had the kind of field position that makes offensive coordinators get teary-eyed. They had the ball at the Detroit 24-, 10-, 23- and 13-yard line and settled for three field goals and a touchdown. It raised a question: Are you kidding me?
"We scored enough points offensively to win a football game against a team that was really riled up to play us,'' Smith said.
The riled-up Lions finished the season with eight consecutive losses.
Smith's ability to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil has been contagious during his tenure. Even in the face of another poor offensive performance, his players seemed absolutely sure good things were ahead for Mike Tice's offense, given the opportunity for a playoff game.
"What gives me confidence is that we as an offense have a lot of talent, and we haven't put together a whole game yet the whole year, 16 games,'' running back Matt Forte said.
Why in the world would anyone think a 17th game would be any different?
"At some time, the offense is going to click, sooner or later,'' he said.
That some time is going to have to be next season. That's too bad because at least one Bear had visions of holding the Lombardi Trophy aloft.
"We're definitely a playoff team,'' defensive tackle Henry Melton said. "Super Bowl team.''
Yeah, well, no.
Detroit had three 80-yard touchdown drives. You couldn't help but wonder why the Bears can't move the ball like that. You couldn't help but wonder how a franchise can be so consistently underwhelming. There's a reason the 1985 Bears are still so popular: Nothing much has happened in Chicago since they Super Bowl Shuffled.
It's time for a change.
"It's about steady progress toward our goals, which is to win championships," Emery said.
There's your answer, Phil. If you're indeed in charge.

My name is ANGORAS!

Three soft, lovable bundles of joy! These three love to binky and play.
About Bunny Bunch OC (Orange County)
About Our Rescue Group...
The Bunny Bunch was established in 1984 by Caroline Charland to help rabbits in need. We are a non profit, no kill rescue and education organization run entirely by volunteers. Over the years we have rescued thousands of rabbits, mostly from high kill shelters.Most of the rabbits we rescue come from city and county shelters. These rabbits would have otherwise been euthanized. Unfortunately rabbits are taken to these shelters everyday, mostly because people have bought them from a pet shop, breeder or swap meet without learning about their care or knowing what to expect. They are often bought for young children who cannot care for them. They are left in cages, hutches or outside with no protection from predators.
It is our goal to place Bunny Bunch rabbits into loving homes where they will spend the rest of their life in a happy, healthy, environment. We do this by helping people make the right choice about adopting a rabbit, by educating them about rabbits and their care, and what to expect when you have a rabbit living in your home as part of the family. We also stay up to date with the latest in health care for rabbits and work with many veterinarians across the United States and even in other countries.
In December 2007 we opened our first adoption and education center in Montclair, California called the Burrow. The Burrow is a safe haven for rabbits to live until they find their forever home. We always have lots of rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs waiting for homes.
We have a classroom where we hold seminars and workshops for the public, teaching them all about rabbit care. We also offer programs to teach shelters, vet techs and even veterinarians about rabbit care and health.
Our store Bunny Bunch Boutique is packed full of healthy goodies for rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs. We ship our products all over the United States and also offer a wholesale line.
Bunny sitting, bonding and grooming are also offered as one of our services at the Burrow.
We do have a spay and neuter program here at the Burrow for the animals we rescue. At times we are able to offer low cost spay and neuter to the public.
We hope that one day because of our work and the work of others that rabbits won't be sold at swap meets, feed stores, pet shops and street corners. And that they won't be used for testing products or used in experiments or bred for food. We hope that they will be recognized as the wonderfully delightful creature they really are.
Our entire organization runs on donations, grants and profits from our store.
Donate to Our Rescue Group...
There are many ways that you can donate to the Bunny Bunch. Your contribution helps us continue rescuing and caring for rabbits. On average, we have around 300 animals in our care at all times. Many of these animals are ready for adoption, but some are not. Some come to us sick or injured and need our care to make them well again. Because of your kindness we are able to do this. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. http://bunnybunch.org/donations.htmCome Meet Our Pets...

Our rabbits are spayed or neutered and litterbox trained. Our adoption fee is $85.00 for a single rabbit or $125.00 for a bonded pair. The adoption fee covers the cost of the spay or neuter which normally costs well over $150.00 per rabbit. Your donation is tax deductable. Adoption applications can be filled out at the Burrow, at our off site adoption events or online.

but I am getting the error "ORA: 16653" every time when all the instances of failed primary database are up/running but if only one instance is up then it doesn't give any error.

Enjoy the Environmental Art Gallery at The Ugly Duck Out on Tasmania's sunny east coast. Resident artist Robyn Klobusiak uses the mediums of photography and paint to create a fusion of art and nature. Her images call for the wild world to endure.

Photographic images, painted rocks and painted skulls of road kill feature at the gallery. All her work is designed to touch peoples' hearts, change peoples' minds and perhaps provoke action. At the very least it reminds us of our earth's inspiring beauty and visually challenges us to define the line between our nature and our art. The casual family restaurant within the gallery specialises in dietary requirements. The globally inspired menu features produce from the on-site vegetable and herb garden. All other produce, meats and seafood are locally and sustainably sourced. Try the Wallaby Goulash, East Coast Calamari or the locally cured bacon and eco-pig. The Ugly Duck Out is also a holder of Ecotourism Australia Accreditation.

Spring Vale Vineyard is a small, family-owned winery at Cranbrook, on Tasmania's east coast. Cranbrook is a 15-minute drive north of Swansea (10 kilometres) and forty-five minutes' drive from the Freycinet National Park (50 kilometres). First planted in 1986, the six-hectare (15-acre) vineyard produces Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay grapes. Spring Vale is known for its intense varietal wines, which reflect the ideal growing conditions of the east coast. The Freycinet region is renowned for having the greatest hours of sunlight in Tasmania, a contributing factor in the intensity and structure of Spring Vale wines. All vineyard operations are carried out by hand, and wines are made on-site. The winery is owned and operated by the Lyne family; the current winemaker, Kristen Cush (formerly Kristen Lyne), is a fifth-generation resident of the property. Built in 1842, the original Spring Vale homestead is one of the oldest properties on the east coast and has been in the Lyne family since 1875. You can taste Spring Vale's range of fine wines at the cellar door and sales room, located in the original convict-built stables.

Freycinet Vineyard is a family-run vineyard and winery overlooking Tasmania's famed Freycinet National Park. Established in 1980 by Geoff and Susie Bull, the east coast site was selected for its ideal microclimate - long sunshine hours and lean soils that encourage vines to focus on fruit not foliage. The family tradition of winemaking is continued by their daughter Lindy and her husband Claudio Rodenti. You will observe the traditional techniques of barrel fermentation and maturation. Tight-grain French oak casks are used and minimal intervention ensures the wines retain their maximum colour and flavour. You can sample some of the vineyard's handcrafted wines, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling/Schonburger, cabernet sauvignon and the Rodenti sparkling, against the spectacular backdrop of the Freycinet Peninsula. The vineyard is open to the public for tastings seven days a week, 364 days a year. There are no tours of the vineyard. Freycinet Vineyard is located approximately 15 minutes' drive (18 kilometres/11 miles) south of Bicheno on Tasmania's east coast. Bicheno is just over two-hours' drive from Launceston.

A 2.5 m wide cycle-path of concrete, unbroken for 5.5 km in length, with priority over all side-roads. This is unidirectional, it's the same on the other side of the road. It's not called a "superhighway", it's just a "fietsroute+" and it took only €360K from the local cycling budget to fund this (+€1.5M from other sources). |
This junction is on the main cycling route north from Assen to Vries. Note how the concrete surface of the cycle path, which is smoother than the asphalt surface of the road, continues through the road rather than the other way around. Also note the prominent give way markings (triangles) so that motorists are in no doubt about who has priority at this junction.
The raised areas with red paving prevent motorists from cutting the corner. The corner radius on the road here has been made deliberately sharp in order to slow down motor vehicles entering or leaving this side road.
The path has been upgraded to "fietsroute+" standard, which was publicised last year on postcards from the local government:
The only marketing was a postcard which listed the plus points of the fietsroute+ |
- Clear signposts
- Easy and safe crossings
- Minimum of 2.5 m wide cycle path (on both sides of the road, as each side is unidirectional).
- Socially safe shelters en route
- A direct route from A to B
- Surface of concrete or asphalt with no or little roughness (but enough that you don't slip, of course).
"As well as the cycle path, the bus stops along the route are being improved. There is more room for parking bikes and later this year new shelters."
This stretch has been completed for some time, and work is now taking place on improving other routes to the same standard.
The effort put into these paths pays off in allowing cyclists to ride very quickly, take a direct route and to do this in great safety. The road which is paralleled by this route has an 80 km/h (50 mph) speed limit, but has relatively little traffic due to not being the signposted route for drivers and due to there also being a motorway which offers drivers the choice of 120 km/h.
Older junction before it was upgraded in 2009 |
Here's an example of a van driver giving way to the cycle path. In this photo you can see clearly how at this junction the cycle path remains on the same level while drivers who wish to cross it have to go over a bump caused by the different levels.
This photo taken over my shoulder at an older junction shows a driver giving way as he turns into a side road. You can see how the cycle path is apart from the road at the point of the give-way. This allows space for one car length between the road and the cycle-path.
The new way to cross a side-road. Very clear priority for cyclists. |
These routes are extremely popular, both with commuting adults and with school children. A very fast friend who lives around the corner from me travels 30 km each way along this route to get to work in Groningen. At the same time, parents have few fears that their children will not be safe travelling on such a well engineered route.
I have more examples of how cycle facilities in this country help cyclists to make more direct, faster journeys.
Update: I've now two posts showing this stretch of cycle path in use. One shows it at a lower speed with school children commuting along it, and the other shows going along in a velomobile at 40 km/h. Facilities like this are for every cyclist. This type of route is sometimes considered to be a fietssnelweg or cycling superhighway
The route features on our Cycling Study Tours. However, if you're impatient, you can get a glimpse of what it looks like to ride along it by looking at a series of stills and films that I put online here.

Verlander wins the Cy Young award unanimously!
Er, that is (bring in the friendly photo, pronto, please and thank you):
Ah, there we go!
No, seriously. I'm happy for him. Way happy for him. Grinning-from-ear-to-ear-because-it-couldn't-happen-to-a-better-guy-happy. Congratulations, Justin. You make me proud to have Detroit pride (oxymoron? Maybe.). And yeah, you're kind of awesome yourself.
Keep it up, kiddo.

Prospective Students
Why choosing SNRE is the right choice ...
Right now, you are contemplating a career in environmental science, management, policy or design. Let me explain why you should pursue such a career and why the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan is an ideal place to earn your graduate degree.
The need for thoughtful, well-trained leaders to address environmental sustainability has never been greater. Climate change, biodiversity loss, habitat fragmentation, urbanization, water scarcity, desertification, poverty: These are the global problems the next generation of environmental leaders will tackle. They are complex, multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary.
SNRE is the hub for interdisciplinary environmental studies at the University of Michigan. We have natural science faculty working side by side with environmental policy and landscape design experts. Whether through systems modeling, engineering, geographic information systems or economic analysis, we bring an entrepreneurial mindset to finding solutions to the problems of sustainability. As a result, our graduates understand the scientific underpinnings of environmental problems and can formulate solutions that are technically, economically and socially feasible. That's environmental sustainability for the long term.
We teach you to speak the language of ecologists, economists, political scientists, engineers, social scientists, planners and business people. You will be equipped to walk between the worlds of academia, business and government. Our graduates work within corporations large and small to transform not only how businesses think about environmental sustainability but also how they practice it. The University of Michigan wants students who will change the world. I hope you decide that SNRE is right for you.
Our graduates lead environmental groups and work for organizations including The Nature Conservancy, Environmental Defense Fund and the Natural Resources Defense Council. They are land and water managers working at the local, state, national and international policy levels.
The University of Michigan wants students who will change the world. Learn more about the university, spend time on our site, visit and explore our degree programs.
