With temperatures this past Monday reaching -18 degrees for several hours, the possibility of decreasing the population of EAB is plausible, but the cold still may not kill all the larvae, according to Lee Frelich, director of the Center for Forest Ecology at the University of Minnesota.
The bark of trees are pretty good insulators, and thats where the bugs are, Frelich explained. It ranges usually anywhere from three to seven degrees warmer under the bark of a tree.
At -20 degrees, 79 percent of the EAB population would be expected to die, Frelich said. But this would have to last quite a while because bark is a good insulator.
The bark acts as a barrier, so it takes longer periods of time for sub-zero temperatures to penetrate and eventually freeze the EAB larvae. Colder temperatures are also needed because the insects have natural chemicals that help prevent them from freezing.
Nevertheless, below zero temperatures for an extended period of time will kill a good portion of the EAB larvae. The freeze may not eliminate the entire EAB population, but it will help to slow the rate of spread.
There should be a lower population, Frelich said. Of course, we wont know until spring.
Emerald ash borer
in Winona County
According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Winona is one of four Minnesota counties with a quarantine on ash wood due to an EAB infestation. [EAB] has been found here and were on a quarantine of ash wood, Jill Johnson, special projects coordinator for Winona County, explained. We cant move it out of the county.
The Minnesota DNR has listed the following as signs of an EAB-infected ash tree: heavy woodpecker activity on the tree, dying branches in the top canopy, sprouts around the base of the tree, vertical cracks in the bark, S-shaped tunnels under the bark and 1/8-inch D-shaped exit holes in the bark.
To report an EAB infestation, contact the Arrest the Pest Hotline at 888-545-6684.

One of the most basic, but oh-so-scrumptious, dishes I am "known" for is my perfect grilled cheese. I believe a grilled cheese sandwich can either be really, really good, or really, really bad – there is no in between. Really good usually consists of evenly and sufficiently buttered bread cooked to a beautiful golden brown color, the right amount of hot ooey gooey cheese and bread that is still a bit fluffy on the inside. The really bad ones usually don't have enough butter (or way too much), are under or over cooked, not enough cheese, and the sandwich is made in some kind of a press, smashing the living bejesus out of the poor thing.
If you are looking for supreme results from my method, you must use regular bread, cheese and butter; none of this "light" crap is permitted unless you want inferior results (if that is the case, you might as well stop reading now). The grilled cheese is no place for cutting calorie corners; after all, folks, it gets grilled in butter!
Start with your bread. This method works with just about all kinds. For the cheese, if you prefer the ooey gooey goodness like I do, be liberal with the cheese, throw on a generous amount – maybe half of a centimeter high or so. And it's important to bring the cheese to the edges. For the ultimate "diner-style" grilled cheese, use regular white bread and good old fashioned American cheese slices, making sure the cheese makes a layer two slices thick all over. For something slightly fancier, try fresh sourdough bread and a medium or sharp cheddar cheese. For the butter, use regular salted butter.
Now there is a vital trick to the ultimate grilled cheese: low and slow… and leave it alone! Start by putting your pan on the stove on medium heat (yes, only medium). Take approximately 1 tablespoon of butter and slap it in the pan, spreading it around in an even layer in the pan as it melts (do not butter the outside sides of the bread before cooking). When it is all melted, put your sandwich in the middle of the pan. This first side of the sandwich will take quite a few minutes to cook to the perfect golden brown as the pan is still heating up itself, and that is fine; I believe this helps aid in even melting of the cheese. If you find after about 5-6 minutes there is no real change in the color of the bread pan-side-down, and you don't hear a slight (and I mean slight!) sizzle, you may want to turn up the temperature slightly. While this first side is cooking, KEEP YOUR SPATULA AWAY! Do not press it down; just leave it alone in the pan. When it does get to the desired doneness, remove it from the pan onto a plate momentarily. Put another tablespoon of butter in the pan and again, swirl it around into an even layer as it melts in the pan. When it is melted, put the sandwich back in the pan with the uncooked side facing down. This side will take considerably less time to cook as the pan is now fully heated, so don't stray too far. Again, do not press it down with your spatula! When it is done, and you remove it from the pan, my final advice to you is to flip it back over so the "hot" side is facing up on the plate, this will help the steam escape from the top, hotter side and not the underside (which causes condensation and a soggy bottom).
So there you have it. It's that simple.
And get creative with it! Try other fillings with it, like some tuna for a tuna melt. Or some ham. This method works for the Reuben too! On that note of the Reuben, sometimes I make the aforementioned sourdough grilled cheese with cheddar and dip the sandwich halves in Thousand Island dressing as I eat it.

Braun: Images replace numbers - Quality assurance of plastic parts with 3D measurement
Measuring Systems: ATOS
Keywords: Consumer goods, shape and dimension analysis of plastic parts, optical 3D measurement, mold try-out, first article inspection, warpage & shrinkage analysis, sink marks
Since Braun introduced optical measuring systems to its quality assurance process, first article inspection has been accelerated significantly. The product portfolio of Braun in Germany, a Procter & Gamble subsidiary, includes electric razors, epilators and hair and dental care appliances under well-known brands such as Gillette and Oral-B. In the past, inspection of parts was based on elements from drawings and thus highly work-intensive. However, full-field part inspection was not possible. The company therefore opted to migrate to optical metrology. Today, Braun uses the ATOS 3D digitizer in conjunction with the GOM inspection software.
Quality Control of Injection-Molded Parts
Keywords: Optical 3D measuring technology, mold try-out, first article inspection, form and dimension inspection of plastic parts, production control, warpage & shrinkage analysis, material thickness inspection, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
The ATOS 3D scanner, measuring full-field surfaces, is used in the injection-molding and plastic-processing industry all over the world for shape and dimension inspection. The evaluation of injection-molded parts using the 3D full-field color deviation plot is considerably faster and more efficient compared to conventional measuring methods. In particular, warpage and shrinkage of parts are quickly and clearly displayed speeding up mold try-out and production control.
Computer Aided Verification of Mobile Phone Components
Keywords: Time to market, clips and surfaces
This first article dimensional inspection defines the start of the production and is the benchmark for the quality of the parts produced in volumes. Therefore, it is a very critical process for both the supplier and the ordering party just before the mass production starts and the new model will be released to the market.
3D Digitizing of a Die-Cast Mold for a Protective Mask
Measuring Systems: ATOS, TRITOP
Keywords: Assemblies, Tools and parts
The protective mask consists of a single part with integrated fixings, sealing membranes and filter supports. This requires a very complex die-cast mold. The 3D data of the entire tool including all inserts have to be recorded in the workshop next to the injection press during an intended maintenance period of 5 hours.
Quality control of injection molded parts
Keywords: High resolution, smallest details
Today innovative companies are utilizing digitizers to speed up the first article inspection process and minimize the effort needed to confirm the product quality.
Quality control in plastic blow molding
Keywords: Heat treatment, blow molding, inspection
Fuel tanks for cars are typically manufactured using plastic blow molding. To verify the production parameters and optimize the production, the digitizer ATOS II was used.

Origin of PANGOLIN
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Any of about eight species of armoured placental mammals (genus Manis, order Pholidota) of tropical Asia and Africa. Scales formed of cemented hairs cover the upper body, legs, and tail. Pangolins are 2–6 ft (60–180 cm) long and weigh 10–60 lb (5–27 kg). They have a conical head, no teeth, a long tongue, short legs, and a long prehensile tail. Some are arboreal; terrestrial species live in burrows. Nocturnal animals, pangolins locate prey, mainly termites, by smell and rip open nests with their front claws. When threatened, the pangolin (Malayan for rolling over) curls up or emits an odoriferous secretion. See also anteater; echidna.

How You Can Change the Climate with Your Dinner Plate
What does climate change have to do with dinner? A lot.
It turns out that what you put on your dinner plate has a pretty big impact on climate pollution.
According to the Environmental Working Group, Americans' appetite for meat is taking its toll on our health, the environment and the climate.
Yikes, who knew?
Why? Because producing all this meat and dairy requires large amounts of pesticides, chemical fertilizer, fuel, feed and water.
As if that weren't enough, in addition to all of these chemicals used in production, eating large quantities of beef and processed meats increases your exposure to toxins and is linked to higher rates of health problems, including heart disease, cancer and obesity.
We certainly don't need more disease in this country or any more greenhouses gases fogging up the planet, so what's an eater to do?
Thankfully, making a few small changes can add up in some pretty big ways.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), the way we grow meat is turning out to cost us a lot more than what we pay in the grocery store.
Most U.S. livestock are fattened on fishmeal, corn, soybean meal and other grains. Grain production, in particular, requires significant quantities of fertilizer, fuel, pesticides, water and land. In other words, it's being produced with tons of chemicals that are going not only into our meat, but also our soil, water and air. It takes 149 million acres of cropland, 167 million pounds of pesticides and 17 billion pounds of nitrogen fertilizer to grow this animal feed.
As if that chemical combination wasn't bad enough, fertilizer applied to soil generates nitrous oxide (N20), which has 300 times the warming effect of carbon dioxide (and we thought our cars were bad). And irrigation pumps, tractors and other farm equipment also release carbon dioxide, but in relatively small amounts. Pesticides and fertilizers often end up in runoff that pollutes rivers, groundwater and oceans.
On top of all of that, feed crops are heavily subsidized by taxpayers through the federal Farm Bill, to the tune of $45 billion over the past 10 years which means that our taxpayer dollars are hard at work creating this mess.
And to make matters even worse, the farmers who are producing our food without all of these chemicals, don't get the same level of taxpayer support, making it more expensive to produce products without these toxins that are polluting our bodies and the atmosphere. Which means that for us, the taxpayer, those cleaner products are more expensive to buy in the store. So we get hit twice. Once, subsidizing the chemically intensive meat-growing production and twice if we choose to opt out of it through the purchase of the more-expensive meat grown without these chemicals.
It's a broken system, and it's not just polluting the environment. As if you need more data, according to an analysis of U.S. Food and Drug Administration data by the Johns Hopkins University's Center for a Livable Future, 80 percent of the antibiotics sold in 2009 were for use on livestock and poultry, and only 20 percent was for human medical use (Center for a Livable Future 2010). And a 2009 National Cancer Study found that people who ate the most red meat were 20% more likely to die of cancer and 27% more likely to die of heart disease than those that ate the least.
So while correlation is not causation, and there is obviously a lot that goes into disease or air pollution, science continues to show that what we choose to eat can affect everything from our carotid arteries to the climate.
So what's a consumer to do, especially if you were raised to think, "Beef, it's what's for dinner"?
Nothing radical. A few simple changes are all you need.
- Reducing waste and buying only as much as you can eat is the easiest way to reduce greenhouse gas and other environmental impacts of food.
- Support local ranchers in order to reduce transportation costs
- Eat less processed meat, as slaughterhouses can dumps millions of toxic pollutants like nitrogen and ammonia into waterways.
- Choosing certified organic and/or grass-fed products reduces your exposure to traces of sub-therapeutic antibiotics and artificial hormones that are given to conventionally raised animals. Going organic also reduces exposure to toxins from pesticides that might accumulate in animal fat.
- Opt into Meatless Monday, and go for beans, veggie chili and other plant-based protein one day of the week.
- Can't go meat-free for a meal? Choosing chicken or turkey over beef also reduces the environmental impact.
If you make just a few simple changes in your every day life, over the course of a year, they can add up. Here are just a few examples of how:
- If you eat one less burger a week, it's like taking your car off the road for 320 miles or line-drying your clothes half the time.
- If your four-person family skips meat and cheese one day a week, it's like taking your car off the road for five weeks – or reducing everyone's daily showers by 3 minutes.
- If your four-person family skips steak once a week, it's like taking your car off the road for nearly three months.
- If everyone in the U.S. ate no meat or cheese just one day a week, it would be like not driving 91 billion miles – or taking 7.6 million cars off the road.
To get the nation on a path to health is going to take more than a Meatless Monday, but if we all do what we can, where we are, with what we have, together, we can begin to create a healthier future.

I work in a science lab...
Verified Purchase
I work in a science lab where we use and often spill stuff like water, alcohol
and acetone. I need a pen that won't run when it gets wet with water or
solvents. The Black Fine Point Pilot Multiball is perfect for lab use. It
doesn't run in any of these solvents and it writes on the slick label tapes
(Time Tape for those know) and on metal, glass and plastics of all kinds. On
glass and hard plastic, you have to write slowly and sometimes restart the pen
with a piece of paper, but it will write on hard smooth surfaces. True the
Sharpie can do all this, but it stinks and bleeds through paper too much to use
in a lab notebook. The Multiball does not bleed through and doesn't have any
The ability to rely on one pen all day to write on anything and at such a low price and not worry about bleeding through, re-capping, smell, running when wet, etc... makes my life just a little bit easier. We can all appreciate that. Next, I'm going to test all the colors with solvents and surfaces, but I'm very optimistic about the results. Good job Pilot! 12 people found this helpful

Verified Purchase
I love this pencil. When I got it, I got a big piece of paper and just started
scribbling until the lead ran out. I wanted to see how well it advanced and if
it got scratchy. The lead advanced so well I couldn't tell when it did. It did
not ever get scratchy. If I held the pen at a very shallow angle, it did scratch
a little, but I hold it about 45 degrees.
Refilling was no more difficult than any other pen. I just dropped a lead in the end and pressed on the black tip a few times and it was ready to go. If this technology was in a normal pencil with a clip and autoloading magazine like the Pentel Quick Dock and hey, how about the lead-breakage preventing technology of the Millino or the Platinum OleEnu, Then pencil lovers could stop fussing and get back to writing the great american novel. 1 person found this helpful

Verified Purchase
The big deal is that this pencil will use up a whole stick of lead. I don't
think I'll ever find out if it does for two reasons. First, it has a fixed
sleeve point (doesn't retract into the body, which it looks like it should from
the pictures) which, though conical, stabs the cloth of a pocket (and possible
skin) making it awkward to carry around. Second the clip is weak and won't grab
the edge of a pocket well enough and it feels like it could break off easily. If
these are not problems for you, I can recommend its weight and grip, which are
excellent for a pencil. It feels very secure in my hand. I will leave it at my
desk and use it there, but I usually grab my pocket when I need to write, so it
is going to roll off to some dusty corner, abandoned and alone, just because I
cannot shove it in my pocket. Too bad.

Verified Purchase
I loaded this with a pencil and two different sizes of ink cartridge and it
replaces all the pens I used to carry (I teach Anatomy and need purple and light
blue). It's also got red for grading and black for filling out withdrawal slips.
It's light and sturdy. I'm not weird enough to carry it in my pocket, though, so
the clip issues others mentioned are not a problem for me.
It's not too big, it's like a Pilot Dr. Grip, but lighter and much more versatile. Also, the ink is waterproof, alcohol proof and acetone proof. So, I can get drunk and grade papers and do my nails without worry. (Just kidding about the nails.) 2 people found this helpful

I bought one of these for the colored pencils I use in Biology classes. It's
simplicity and versatility has made it a constant companion. It's easy to unload
and load with the stuff I need for different activities like hiking, vacations,
and school. I shouldn't be such a cheapskate and just get a bunch of them.

Starring Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, and Jamie Foxx. Rated PG. For showtimes, please see page 71
There are times when an otherwise peaceable man must indulge in violence. Not just random mayhem, but the cool and controlled promise of death that surrounds certain machines. The hopological impulse finds expression in gun magazines, Jane's catalogue, Soldier of Fortune, and the works of Tom Clancy, just to name a few examples of weapon porn that I would deny owning.
Stealth not only appeals to these impulses, it rubs them in your face while gyrating in your lap. It is like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Web page sprung to life, all glistening, lethal, and futuristic.
It is also one of the stupidest movies that I have ever seen. Basically a mash-up of Top Gun and War Games, it is the story of a mini-squadron of three elite Navy pilots. Jessica Biel plays the hot, blond, curvy babe who is saving herself for true love. Jamie Foxx plays the one who is black and therefore likes to dance around in his underwear listening to disco when not seducing women (the movie strangely fails to add a watermelon-eating scene). Josh Lucas plays the white leader burdened with these eccentric affirmative-action types.
Led by grim, sunglasses-wearing commander Sam Shepard, whose playwriting income has evidently dried up or was invested in WorldCom stock, the squadron has been trained to attack terrorist targets with precision-guided munitions. They fly experimental fighter-bombers with unique forward-sweeping variable angle wings, and they usually disobey orders. For example, they object to bombing a terrorist camp because nuclear fallout will drift over a nearby village of civilians. Kids today!
On the eve of operational deployment, the squadron is suddenly augmented by an even more advanced prototype, the "EDI" (presumably named after the bodacious spouse of Russ Meyers). It is a stubby VSTOL that can pull off awesome vectored-thrust manoeuvres with no G limits on the pilot because there is no pilot. EDI is a thinking computer.
Speaking in the calm, neutered tones of HAL9000, EDI seems to be the perfect wingman at first. But after a fateful lightning strike, EDI becomes…alive! And so does W.D. Richter's screenplay, which sees EDI also start to disobey orders like every elite antiterrorist pilot and making snappy comebacks in the nettled, faintly prissy tones of the Knight Rider car.
Now the Good Planes have to chase the Bad Plane all around the Bering Sea before it starts the Third World War or the special- effects budget runs out. Director Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) brings his patented "blurry-cam" look to the skies, and it's pretty exhilarating. With its visual sophistication and powerful sound mix, Stealth would make an excellent basis for a Ridefilm. Unfortunately, it keeps having to stop for another increment of boring, unbelievable story. Too bad EDI couldn't blow that up too.

Shed Skin 0.9.2
The biggest improvement is probably some optimizations for the array module. Other than this, the changes are mostly unrelated minor optimizations and bug fixes. Please see the release notes for more detail.
Three nice new examples were also added for this release, bringing the number of examples to 67, with a total linecount of about 17,000 lines (sloccount): a "stereo vision" program, and two Rubik's cube solvers.

Shed Skin is amazing, I'm so glad I found it! Unfortunately, I don't know how to compile my project which uses pygame. I copied all its files from /lib in python's folder but it still says that module cannot be found. Any idea how to make it work? - 5:48 PM

sorry for the (very?) late reply!
shedskin does not directly support pygame (or any other large library), but you may be able to compile part of your program as an extension module (shedskin -e), and import this in your main python program. - 2:20 PM

we are currently in maintenance mode, meaning no new major features are implemented at the moment. there are no concrete plans to support python 3, for example. and there are no plans to lift any of the major limitations as described in the documentation. minor improvements and bug fixes are being done on a regular basis though, depending on the amount of feedback the project gets. - 12:58 AM

The Digital Revolution and
Equipment Angst
The Way We Were
Most of us believe that our societies are essentially classless. While true, to some extent money does create an unavoidable class structure. As but one example, there are those that drive BMWs and Mercedes, and those that drive Fords and Volkswagens.
Most of us don't fret over this all that much. We drive what we can afford and we don't lose a lot of sleep over the fact that a Porsche 911 that we admire or even covet is beyond our reach. If we see one drive by we smile, momentarily fantasize what it would be like to have one, and then move on.
Until recently the photographic world has been mostly similar. But things are rapidly changing. Let's see how and why.
Steamed Moose — Algonquin, 2002
Digital Envy
In the BD epoch, (Before Digital), the cost equation for cameras was fairly straightforward. A decent 35mm SLR cost somewhere between $500 and $1,000. You could pay less and get a plastic wonder, or somewhat more and get a Canon 1V or Nikon F5. But lenses aside, about a thousand dollars was what it took to buy a good quality 35mm camera body. This number hasn't changed much over the past 50 years in terms of absolute dollars (accounting for inflation).
But during the last two years there has been a dramatic change in this equation. Base level DSLRs like the Nikon D100, Canon D60 and Fuji S2 are now between $2,000 and $2,500 (All prices are in $ U.S.) This is a doubling or more over the price of comparable film-based camera bodies. High-end digital SLRs like the Nikon D1 and the Canon 1D families are priced between $5,000 and $6,000, triple what their film-based brethren cost. (The new EOS 1Ds is almost $9,000!) These prices have created a high anxiety level among photographers.
One only has to read the various discussion boards around the Net to get a feel for the confusion and anxiety that exists. Photographers read about new 11MB or 14MB cameras and their pulses race. They want to have one. They need to have one. How can they continue without one? That 6 Megapixel camera bought last month now seems old-hat, and the 3MP camera from last year is positively a relic. I want one — they cry.
But, then the reality of a $4,000, $6,000 or $9,000 price tag hits, and the Visa card is already maxed-out.
Does any of this make sense, and if not, what can be done about it?
Dividing The Class
Let's divide the world into two classes — amateurs and professional photographers. In the amateur category I include everyone who doesn't make their living from photography, and in the professional category I include everyone that does.
For the professional photographer a $5,000 digital camera is simply a tool. It will be used to generate income and as such can be depreciated over a period of time and the capital cost deducted.
A digital camera like this also will quickly pay for itself. Assuming for a moment that a busy photographer shoots 10 rolls on a one day shoot, and shoots three days a week, that's about 1,500 rolls a year. At $10 a roll for film and processing that's a saving of $15,000 by switching to digital. Even assuming the need for other compensating expenditures, the payback for buying a $5,000 digital SLR is measured in just months. This doesn't even take into account the increase in productivity.
The amateur (and I include fine-art photographers in this group) doesn't have such a clear-cut economic case. Even if he or she sells their work from time to time, photography is a hobby, an art, a craft or a passion — but not a major source of revenue. Rather it is an income consumer.
That's fine, for most. We do what we do because we want to do it, and if we can afford it who is to nay say?
The problem as I see it is that the siren call of bigger and better is causing otherwise rational people to lose sight of financial reality. (One would like to think they're rational — though reading what some yobos write on various discussion forums causes one to doubt this).
Does it makes sense for a non-professional photographer to buy a $5,000 DSLR? If they can afford it, of course it does. But many can't — and therein lies the problem.
These new cameras are priced the way they are because they represent cutting edge technology. Development costs are high and manufacturers need to recoup these over relatively small production runs. It used to be that a top-of-the-line camera like today's Nikon F5 or Canon EOS 1V would have production life of between five and eight years. Now, new high-end digital camera are appearing every 12 months.
For the working pro this isn't an issue. When a new model comes along that does a better job its purchase can be rationalized. The previous model becomes a back-up and the one before that is sold off. For the amateur, unless money is simply not an issue, $3,000 to $5,000 every year or two for a new camera body is just out of the question.
When Will Things Settle Down?
There is light at the end of the tunnel. It's still a ways off, but it is there. Today (September, 2002) we are seeing the emergence of 10-15 Megapixel cameras. These will start to ship before year's end. Six months ago the benchmark was 6 megapixels, and 6 months before that it was 3 megapixels. Using this math we will be shooting with cameras that record more megapixels than there are atoms in the universe before the decade is out.
Clearly there are limiting factors. Nothing continues to grow at such a furious rate. (Remember the .COM bubble?) An 11 Megapixel camera will produce roughly a 33 megabyte file. A 14 megapixel camera a 42 megabyte file. That's in 8 bit mode. Import it in 12, 14 or 16 bit mode and even the largest and fastest of today's computers are going to start to choke.
Are we going to see 20MB cameras. How about 25MB? (I'm talking 35mm, not medium or large format). I think not. To get higher resolution means putting more photosites into the same space (remember that these new chips are now full-frame). Below a certain size we run into the law of diminishing returns, and while resolution may increase noise and other deleterious effects increase.
Also, an 11 Megapixel camera like the Canon 1Ds can produce an 11 X 17" print at 240 ppi. Sure, a larger file size will permit bigger prints (and an improved ability to crop without losing too much quality), but I do believe that something south of 20 Megapixels is likely the upper limit that we'll see in 35mm format cameras.
Of course there will be advances in other aspects of digital imaging technology beside resolution (which already matches or exceeds that of film). High-end digital already has less noise than film, but can still offer some improvement. Artifacting can be reduced and colour purity enhanced. Certainly frame rates and throughput can be increased, though cameras like the EOS 1D already match or exceed film camera bodies in this regard.
If you think about these issues it starts to become clear that while we are now in the heart of the storm, things will settle down — likely within another couple of years. We will then start to see a leveling off at the high end and for some of the top-of-the-line features to migrate downwards, and for prices to continue dropping. After that my crystal ball gets cloudy.
What To Do?
Everyone's situation is different. If you're a working pro you know what your needs are and don't need a lot of advise from me. If you have deep pockets then this is mostly irrelevant. Buy what you want and enjoy.
But if you're like most people, and lust after the latest and greatest but have limited means, don't despair. Don't look at every new wonder camera as a must-have purchase, just as you don't seriously plan on buying that hot Ferrari that drove past this morning. You may admire it, may enjoy reading about it, and might on a whim drop into the showroom, but you're not really going to buy it, so get over it.
Treat the continuing flow of new high-end digital cameras in the same way. Enjoy the fact that they're out there. Read the reviews and be glad that they exist, because next year and the year after their features and advances will trickle down into camera that you can afford.

Survivors Teaching Students(R): Saving Women's Lives
Through the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance's innovative educational program, Survivors Teaching Students(R): Saving Women's Lives, future healthcare professionals — physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and physician assistants — increase their understanding of ovarian cancer symptoms and risk factors so that they can diagnose the disease when it is in its earlier, treatable stages.
Survivors Teaching Students(R) brings ovarian cancer survivors into medical school classrooms to share their stories and key information about the disease. The program is now in more than 60 medical schools around the country as well as in a number of nurse practitioner, nursing and physician assistant training programs. In Wisconsin the program can be found at University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and The Medical College of Wisconsin.
During each free one-hour presentation:
●Several ovarian cancer survivors, many of whom were diagnosed at an advanced stage, tell their stories to illustrate the difficulty of early diagnosis and the resulting extended and recurring treatment, putting a face and voice to the disease.
●Students gain insights into listening to patient concerns and become sensitized to the psychosocial aspects of ovarian cancer as well as the need for early detection.
●Survivors and students directly interact to continue the students' learning.
Students are surveyed to assess their understanding of the disease and the presentation's value.
Betty Reiser, a long-term survivor and facilitator of the program, created the program at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)—New Jersey Medical School in 2002. Shortly afterward, Ovarian Cancer National Alliance's belief that this program is a vital adjunct to the academic learning process. The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance plans to incorporate this program into every medical school in the United States. Working with our partner member the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance adopted the program. Since then, it has continued to expand and draw interest from medical school faculty across the country.
The medical students' reactions and written evaluations have been extremely positive and reinforce the organizations and ovarian cancer advocates throughout the country, we are on the way to making this a reality.
In 2005, the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance expanded the Survivors Teaching Students(R) program to nurse practitioner programs through a pilot in New York State with the Department of Health (NYSDOH). The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance extended the program in recognition of the vital role of other health professionals who work in partnership with physicians in delivering primary care.
The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance plans to expand this program to nursing schools throughout the United States.
In 2006-2007 through a partnership with the NYSDOH, the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is piloting the program to physician assistant students in New York. The pilot will help shape the resources to support existing Survivors Teaching Students(R) groups and expand presentations to this group of health professionals in training.
In Wisconsin in 2006 WOCA began participating in this program. We currently meet with third year medical students at Aurora Sinai Medical Center. Volunteer speakers are needed. Call Jamie Schmidt or Sandi Wagner at 262-797-7804 if you are willing to share your story and help save women's lives.

Lilith Forzane is looking for steamy geek love.
She's just popped in (having materialized out of thin air) at the entrance of the Science School, where the school's director, zazen Manbi, and I are about to embark on a tour. "I believe Lilith is an escort," says Manbi, eying her skin-tight catsuit and long black leather boots.
"A hot escort," corrects Forzane. And she is, if one considered her digitized curves and pixelated bedroom eyes "hot" in the traditional sense.
Forzane, Manbi and I are in Second Life, the online virtual world where activities, goals and even scenery are created by the users themselves. Since the program, which is essentially a video game, was launched by Linden Lab in June 2003, millions of people have created walking, talking digital "avatars" of themselves — which, using the game's open-ended design, can look like carbon copies of their user or resemble, say, a talking dolphin — and begun building virtual models of whatever their hearts desire.
It's sort of a three-dimensional version of the Internet, where roughly tens of thousands of Second Life "residents" are logged on at any given moment, exploring this vast realm, socializing with other users and creating and trading virtual property.
The strange online world, which observers have estimated nets Linden Lab about $40 million a year, features many of the quirks of real life. Countries like Sweden, Colombia and Macedonia have opened in-game embassies where people can learn about their countries. Second Life real-estate speculators sell hot-commodity virtual lands to other users, making hundreds of thousands of real dollars a year. Rock bands and theater troupes have performed in Second Life theaters, using microphones and instruments attached to their computers. Avatars waving digital signs have staged in-game protests on everything from IBM union negotiations to potential U.S. military action in Iran.
And of course, lots of people troll for sex. "I'd like to have a hot hour with a geek," Forzane informs us. She's not talking about real sex, but the virtual kind, involving naked, writhing avatars. And since she's an escort, this hot hour probably costs Linden Dollars, the in-game currency that Second Life users can buy with real money, the exchange rate holding reasonably steady at 266 Lindens to one U.S. dollar.
If she's looking for geeks, she's come to the right place, replies Manbi: "There are about fifty islands here for you to find one." The Science School and the tiny virtual island it sits on lie in the center of SciLands, an archipelago of in-game islands owned and populated by some of the foremost science and technology organizations in the world: NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Library of Medicine and the National Physical Laboratory, to name a few. They're constructing state-of-the-art exhibits, laboratories and classrooms here — things that would be too costly, complicated or downright hazardous to build in real life.
It's like one big science museum planned by some of the brightest minds around, open to anyone anywhere in the world and featuring no closing time and no admission fee. (It's free to sign up for Second Life, though users need to be at least eighteen or they'll be relegated to the Teen Second Life world.) SciLands' creators hope to give science education and advocacy a shot in the arm by invading the world of video games and Internet obsessions that have wreaked havoc on museum attendance rates and homework assignments. Who knows? It may even work.
But while there are certainly a lot of geeks in SciLands, notes Manbi, "chances are there won't be many takers" for Forzane's brand of hands-on experimentation, since everyone's too busy building digital rocket ships or holding in-game conferences on the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator. He should know: Manbi — or, rather, his flesh-and-blood counterpart, Jeff Corbin — helped found SciLands two years ago.
Forzane, discouraged, teleports away without another word.
That allows Corbin and me, through our avatars, to continue our tour of Science School. We stroll through a verdant landscape dotted with chess sets and solar panels — all of which were constructed by Corbin and other Second Life users with "prims," virtual building blocks. The three-dimensional visuals are impressive — far from photorealistic, but as good as those found in computer games circa 2004. We pass by portals that, with a mouse click, can whisk us to the various reaches of SciLands: virtual rocket lift-offs, a lunar landing site, habitats populated by "cobblefish," "jellypods" and other self-evolving creatures. Considering these exotic locales, our destination is almost mundane in its familiarity: a brick-by-brick re-creation of the F.W. Olin Hall at the University of Denver, digitally designed by Corbin in recognition of his employer.
Compared with the astrophysicists and museum curators behind many of SciLands' key avatars, Corbin, a part-time "media specialist" at DU, used to be small potatoes. But that's changed thanks to his work in SciLands: Corbin's avatar racks up nearly 2,000 hits on Google, he's been a celebrated guest star on the Second Life game show "Second Question," and he can literally move mountains.
"Wanna climb a mountain?" asks Manbi — and so we attack a sheer rock face sprouting behind Olin Hall. When the ascent becomes tedious, I hit a button on my keyboard and my avatar levitates upward, soaring to the top of the peak — where, amid goats and mountain lions, stands a re-creation of DU's Meyer-Womble Observatory on Mount Evans. "An optimized version of the once-highest observatory on earth," says Manbi of the structure, which, along with the mountain, he designed and paid for (buying property in Second Life costs real dough). Eventually, he hopes, the telescope will actually work, letting people all over the world peep into its eyepiece and see images beamed directly from its real-life counterpart.

Angels Influence in Culture
Angels have appeared in works of art, literature and song throughout the ages. With so many cultures affected by angels, it's no wonder that their positive influence can also be found in traditional and modern styles of jewelry. The world's history is full of societies and time periods that depict angels each in their own ways, so finding angelic inspiration for your next project might be easier than you think.
Angels and similar beings have had an influence on just about every ancient culture including Mesopotamian, Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek and many others. This influence carried on into the early Western world and became a part of the evolving artistic expression by history's most renowned artists including Leonardo DaVinci, Botticelli, Raphael and others. Along with well-known paintings, angels are also seen in sculptures and statues among cathedrals, government buildings and city monuments.
Kingdoms and governments portray angels and winged beings on currency and military medallions. In Greek mythology, Nike, the Winged Goddess of Victory is depicted heroically with profound wings. Her image was often featured on the victory medals from wars including World War I. Even the shoe brand Nike takes its name from this winged goddess.
The 21st century has welcomed angels in art, fashion and jewelry often with romantic and fantasy oriented approaches. From contemporary interpretations to anime fan art, the depictions of angels may have changed, but the symbolism they portray is still recognized as hope, guidance, protection and love. Incorporating personal thoughts of angels into your designs will give more meaning to your work and exemplify your passion for creativity and imagination. The concept of angels has influenced us to help others and spread joy. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what will your angel designs say? |

I started some white eggplants at the same time as tomatoes. All the tomatoes have germinated or at least started to sprout, but I've got nothing on the eggplant...It's been almost 7 days now.
thanks! c |

Are you providing heat or keeping them in a warm area? Eggplants prefer much warmer temperatures than tomatoes. I almost gave up on my eggplants after nearly a month of no activity when they finally popped up. I think being on a windowsill while the sun warmed their container finally coaxed them out of hiding~ so don't lose hope! |
I started mine the same time as tomatoes too. Tomatoes all sprouted in 6-7 days, purple ball/indian eggplant was a day or so behind. For my other 2 types of eggplant, still waiting to see a sprout after 2 weeks. Some of my hot peppers that were planted at the same time just sprouted, so I haven't given up on the other eggplants yet. Just be patient. |
thanks...it's been over a week now, and my tomatoes are just about ready to be transplanted, but alas, still no eggplants...I won't give up! |
Melonpocky, is right - eggplants need a little more heat for germination than tomatoes require. You can take a look at the link below and see what the University of Minnesota found. The differences may be even more extreme - UM didn't test the full range of temps with the eggplant seeds. So, if eggplant seed can germinate in 2 weeks at 68°F and it takes the same length of time for tomato seed at only 59°F, it might have taken a month for the eggplant at 59°. Or, they may never germinate at that temperature. My special indoor location for germinating seed is above the refrigerator in the kitchen. It is always 70° or above up there, day and night. When I've had germination problems, I've always been willing to blame the seed company and go looking for a different packet at the garden center. I'd hate to miss growing one of my favorite vegetables in a freshly cultivated garden. Waiting another 12 months for a 2nd chance would be unacceptable. Steve |
Here is a link that might be useful: Vegetable Seed Germination and Soil Temperatures
I have them by the window in the kitchen (south facing). It's been consistently hot here, so I know the daytime soil temps have been up there (80's I'm sure)... I may just have to hit up the japanese nursery and get asian eggplant seedlings there... |

My eggplants seem to be taking a very long time to germinate this year. I planted some out in mid March and they are just germinating now. Some of the varieties are: Burpee Gourmet mix, Fairy Tale hybrid, Dusky, Louisiana Long Green,and Antigua. |
My first sprout popped up yesterday!!! I'm so excited. I hope I don't kill it so I can have at least one white eggplant plant...lol |
I started a couple more seeds in a baggie on the window the other day...plus I just ordered some Kamo eggplants from Kitazawa...kind of late, I know, but we have a long season here so I'm sure it will be ok... |
Just wanted to give my props to Kitazawa... Ordered thursday, received my seeds on saturday via priority mail! |
Hello cyumickey, I grow eggplants from seed every year. For me the seeds usually sprout in 9 days. What I did was put a heating pad (with the setting at medium) underneath the tray. In addition, I also cover the containers loosely with black plastic until the seeds sprout. Once they have sprouted, I move them to a sunny window This never fails for me. Hope it helps. saila |
Thanks. My one white eggplant seedling is happily growing in a sunny window. I direct sowed more white and the kamo yesterday. We shall see. I'm not having very much luck this year... :( |
