Most mosquitoes are simply annoying. But a small percentage can carry diseases like West Nile virus. Over the past few years, West Nile virus has been found in animals, birds, and humans in all continental states in the United States.
West Nile virus is transmitted to humans from the bite of mosquitoes that probably picked up the virus after feeding on infected birds. Pets and other animals can also become infected with West Nile virus. But you can't get the virus from touching (or other casual contact with) people or animals.
Most people are unlikely to become seriously ill from West Nile virus. In fact, someone who does get infected with West Nile virus may not even know it. That's because most people who do get the virus usually have few or no symptoms. A small number may have symptoms like those of the flu, such as fever and body aches. But they usually get better quickly.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes that, after becoming infected, a person becomes immune and won't get sick from the virus again.
A small number of people (less than 1%) who are infected with West Nile virus do become seriously ill, though. They are usually people over the age of 50 who are at greater risk of developing a more severe form of the infection, such as encephalitis or meningitis.
These more serious forms of infection can cause long-term illness, brain damage, permanent disability, and — in rare cases — even death. Symptoms usually begin 3 to 14 days after a person has been infected.
Severe West Nile virus infection causes symptoms such as:
People who think they may have symptoms of West Nile virus should see a doctor right away. Diagnosing the infection early can help improve a person's chances of recovery.
Although it's unlikely you'll be infected with West Nile virus, mosquito bites can still be an itchy nuisance. The CDC advises people to protect themselves from mosquito bites by using mosquito repellent, especially at times when mosquitoes are most active, such as at dusk and dawn.
The CDC recommends mosquito repellents that include one of the following ingredients:
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for applying the product.
Reapply mosquito repellant according to the directions on the product label. How often you have to apply more repellant all depends on how much DEET is in the product. Don't use a sunscreen that includes an insect repellent — sunscreen should be reapplied frequently but insect repellents should not.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers the following tips for using insect repellents:
You can also take the following precautions to avoid mosquito bites and West Nile virus:

Sent me from pensecola to Millbrook knowing battery was dead could not turn off truck
Because the requested size truck was not available at the location and time that i was guaranteed, I am asking for the $50 that is promised when this guarantee is not met. The originally scheduled location (Pops Attic, Cantonment) was unreachable by phone before the day and time of pick up and failed to notify me that my order had been "upgraded" to a 26' truck from a 20' truck. Because I was driving a very long distance and did not have enough things to fill a 26' truck, this was an inconvenience rather than an upgrade. And so I had to pick up a 20' truck from an alternate location (KPS, Cantonment) where my requested dolly and furniture pads were not available. The entire pick-up experience was quite unpleasant and delayed my time-critical truck loading by almost two full hours.

As of Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Gwinnett Daily Post
Mill Creek defensive lineman Kelsey Griffin made a commitment to the South Carolina football program on Wednesday morning.
The senior chose the Gamecocks after visiting Columbia for this past weekend's game with Georgia, won 35-7 by South Carolina. UGA was his other finalist, but he had offers from most of the nation's top programs dating back to his sophomore season.
He briefly committed to Georgia last month, but reopened his recruitment the same day.
"The coaching staff is great," Griffin said of South Carolina. "They take a lot of pride in their facilities and I like the way they coach. I like the way they play. I enjoyed it up there at South Carolina from the first time I went up there."
Griffin, a 6-foot-3, 290-pounder, led Mill Creek in tackles the past two years from his interior line position. He's rated as a four-star recruit and a top-10 defensive tackle by the major recruiting services.
"Kelsey had offers from schools across the entire country before narrowing his choices to South Carolina and UGA this summer," Mill Creek head coach Shannon Jarvis said. "He is very excited about the opportunity to play for the University of South Carolina and be a part of their continued success."
Griffin visited South Carolina earlier, but last weekend's visit was his first for a regular-season game.
"It was indescribable," Griffin said. "It was one of the most exciting games I've been to. I had only been there for a spring game, so this was my first chance to see a real game."
The long recruiting process that began several years ago is now over for Griffin, who said his commitment is final.
"I'm done with the recruiting," he said.

Say what ya want about GnR
by Jason Nivens
posted Jun 3 2013 5:27PM
With Axl Rose being the only original band member, to DJ Ashba, Bumblefoot & Richard Fortus not being Slash, to it being the best cover band on the planet but pound-for-pound Axl and company f*cking brought it last night at The Midland. While I may still be on a show high I'm gonna say at this moment Guns N' Roses is the best show I've seen at said venue, yet. That's saying quite a bit since I've seen a sh!t-ton of shows there.
I feel like Ashba (lead guitarist, till Richard or Bumblefoot took over for a solo) tells people, "Yeah, I see those shoes over there and they're great and all but have you seen these? Mine are pretty amazing as well. Good luck filling them!"
The show started around 10:40 and went till damn near 1:30! Three hours, 30 songs and 46 wardrobe changes by Axl later and I'm giving the point to him and his merry band of pranksters over Slash & Myles' performance at the same venue a while back. Absolutely a bad ass, mother f*cking, rock show! Only negatives, I'll give, are with Tommy Stinson's performance on bass. Just kinda meh, for me. And I suppose for some people, how late it all went, I liked it though. Made me chuckle a bit when Larry who runs the Midland said, around 12:30, that "It's just so late. We find the 40 year olds can't hold their liquor when it runs so late". That sh!t made me laugh pretty good.
Had a blast, glad we went, and irony wasn't lost on one of the people at the Midland (whom my girl and I ran into as we were heading into the venue) swinging down into the P&L to get Axl, and I quote, "a slice of Tennessee Whiskey Cake"!

Awesome view!
Awesome view on how he rocked this show. I don't know right now if its the best show I have EVER seen....but I will say this its right there at the top with them. I have heard the same about Axl's antics and last night cleared all those from my mine. He looked happy to put on a show that was running late, and didn't come close to selling out. Great job Axl and the Midland for putting this show together.
Take notice--this band is the real deal live (maybe the best live hard rock band on the planet)!
It's tough to believe, until you see them with your own eyes, and hear that banshee wail with your own ears--this band is as good as any currently circling the world on tour. I can't wait for the new album, scheduled to drop next year, and for the next tour (I think KC certainly has earned another stop---as our crowds have been great at both of their shows here in he past two years). Here is a clip of Nightrain live, for those who may have missed the show. And, btw, don't miss the chance to see them live the next time they come through KC Nightrain Live @ The Midland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEoAy8w1WWU Peace!! P.S. Nivens, GNR's official twitter has liked and linked to your review!!
was a good show
but wont beat three days grace.

Health Data Management
Breaking News
June 3, 2010
The University of Louisville in Kentucky on June 2 posted a public
notice of a data breach in which protected health and financial
information from its kidney disease program was posted on a publicly
accessible Web site for 19 months.
According to local media reports, a physician who set up the site
believed it was protected. Because of a programming error, the physician
and an assistant entered data in October 2008 without knowing it was
going on a public page. The site was not accessible without typing in
the specific address, which would not be available through a search
engine, a spokesperson told television station WLKY. What follows is the
university's notice:
"The University of Louisville regrets to notify the public of an
unfortunate incident where a database containing 708 names, Social
Security numbers, type of dialysis received and access point for that
dialysis was available on a website beginning October 1, 2008. This
website could be accessed from outside the university. We became aware
of this situation on May 17, 2010 and disabled the website. Access to
the website was not easy and there were no direct links to the database.
"Our investigation found that a programming error did not include a 'log

within the Kidney Disease Program and found that the code had been

Karen Segall is a Danish Design School graduate with a dream—or rather, a nightmare. Her vision for fashion includes circus-inspired creations that are dark and more than a tad on the creepy side.
With harlequin-style jumpsuits, creepy skull masks, and tulle neck pieces, Karen Segall's fashion line was inspired by a book called, "A night at the circus." She describes her line as, "Edgy, colourful, detailed,"—although I think those terms don't exactly do her collection justice. Click through the images and judge for yourself.

Bryan Stow moved closer to home

SAN FRANCISCO -- Nearly seven weeks after a brutal beating outside Dodger Stadium, a San Francisco Giants fan still in critical condition with brain injuries was jetted Monday to Northern California for more medical care and to be closer to his loved ones.
The attack on Bryan Stow by two drunken Dodgers fans who remain at large saddened and shamed many Los Angeles residents who donated tens of thousands of dollars to his care.

United States (US)
KPMG's US Banking Industry Outlook Survey 2013 released in August marks the fifth consecutive year we've surveyed senior US banking executives for their perspectives on a variety of topics. Unsurprising navigating regulatory change is a dominant theme throughout our survey responses and continues to pose challenges as US banking executives indicate increasing concerns over the impact these requirements will have on growth and business models.
For example, almost three quarters of executives surveyed cite legislative and regulatory pressures as the most significant barrier to growth over the next year, while nearly 80 percent believe political and regulatory uncertainty poses the greatest threat to their bank's traditional business model.
It is worth noting these early impacts represent a relatively early indicator of a larger wave of change to come considering we are still in the initial stages of a new regulatory timetable in the US. For example, there are hundreds of rules coming out of the Dodd Frank Act - including the Volcker Rule, living wills, and consumer protection – that are still being written. In fact, less than 40 percent overall have been finalised to date.
Meanwhile, exams and interactions with regulators continue to increase for banks and there is little indication that this will end any time soon.
With gradually improving economic and business conditions, US banks are also looking at numerous ways to grow the top line, including new products and services and expansion into new geographies and customer segments.
Cross-selling of services is viewed as a key growth driver in the year ahead, moving into the top spot over traditional banking products, which dropped significantly from its position as top growth driver last year.
Finally, IT remains a key priority for most US banks as executives increasingly recognize the value of leveraging data to optimise customer development as well as improving operational efficiencies in managing regulatory compliance and platform simplification. In addition to increasing IT spending, banking executives in the survey said they plan to spend more on their regulation and control environment and geographic expansion over the next 3 years.
An increasing area of spend is in cyber-security as the motivation for cyber assaults is shifting, from financial crime to political and ideological attacks, with the number of state-sponsored hacking and 'hacktivist' revenge incidents growing. Six major US banking institutions suffered website outages in 2012.
United Kingdom (UK)
Also released in August was KPMG's UK Bank Performance Benchmarking Report which explored the key trends in the first half results of the big five UK banks and warns that, despite improved financial performance, real threats and uncertainties remain.
All five major UK banks recorded a profit in the first half of the year, for the first time since 2010, with combined profits of some £16.5 billion. However, the industry emerging is very different to how it was before the crisis started and is adjusting to a future in which bank business models in the UK are "unlikely ever to be the same again".
Whilst overall lending was up by less than one per cent and customer deposits increasing by 6 percent during the period, return on equity has roughly halved compared to 2005 levels, from near 20 percent to under 10 percent now – and this looks unlikely to reverse in the near-term. This is accentuated by the fact that average capital ratios have increased from to 12 percent.
In addition, almost 20 percent of first half statutory profits were wiped out by the continuing need to set money aside against mis-selling claims. Over the last two and a half years, the total costs of remediation and litigation amongst the top five banks equates to 45 percent of total profit before tax.
KPMG's UK report also warns of other more systemic threats than the familiar mis-selling issues. Firstly, waves of regulatory change, both local and global, appear to be pushing some countries – and the global financial system – beyond the 'tipping point' at which the negative impact of regulation on economic growth begins to exceed its benefits and this is being exacerbated by the speed at which changes are being implemented. Secondly, these changes are coming at a time when a new group of leaders is at the helm of UK banks.
At the same time, between 2006 and 2012 more than 75 percent of non-executive directors and 72 percent of executive management have been replaced at the five major UK banks. There is a risk that boards and senior management are forced to become short-termist and risk averse, focused on their institution's (and indeed their own) immediate safety and survival, rather than looking for a sustainable route back to growth.
There has been a move towards a more local and domestic emphasis amongst UK banks. There has been an increasing localisation of banking markets as different jurisdictions impose their own capital, liquidity, governance and structural requirements in the scramble for greater control over what happens on home turf. This fragmentation, will severely constrain international banks' ability to provide financial services effectively to their international corporate customers.
Finally, KPMG's report also warns that the next systemic shock, if there is one, could come from an as yet unforeseen event such as a massive systems outage or a new breed of cyber attack. After years of improvement, UK banks suffered a 12 percent increase in online account fraud last year. While UK banks have escaped mass disruption assaults so far, they remain under pressure to ensure systems are robust enough to cope with a failure.
While the US and UK banking industries are at different stages of their recovery, there are a few useful parallels which can be drawn to the Australian marketplace. Locally, APRA has indicated that "we are over the hump" of major changes to the prudential regulatory framework, however, industry participants are still awaiting final rules in a few areas, such as in relation to conglomerates policy and securitisation.
Looking at the implications of international regulatory changes, local banks are still uncertain with respect to certain aspects of US regulatory reform, e.g. the Dodd Frank Act and FATCA compliance (as an intergovernmental agreement is yet to be signed). Similar to the challenges facing UK banks abroad, Australian banks will need to consider their regional operating models in light of regulatory, legal and tax developments in the region and each market they operate in, e.g. regional booking models, subsidiarisation.
In a low growth, low interest rate environment, similar to US banks, many Australian banks' growth strategies is centred on increasing cross-sell rates to existing customers. A core feature of this activity is investing in IT and leveraging data analytics capabilities to better understand and anticipate client needs.
Australian banks are all investing heavily in technology and while a lot of the focus is how much they are spending and in what areas the spending on, e.g. core systems upgrades, front-line systems, mobile banking, etc., not enough attention is being placed on how well this expenditure is being executed (and as a consequence, the realisation of benefits).
Another common area of focus with both UK and US banks, is the increasing concern around cyber threats for the Australian banking industry. As more transaction move from branches to electronic forms (e.g. online and mobile), the importance of cyber security increases. Against this context, the Australian banks continue to invest heavily in this area and at an industry level, collaborate and share information to ensure that threats are identified as early as possible and appropriate actions are taken.
At a practical level, many industry participants are investing in running crisis simulation exercises, often involving their boards and senior management teams, to ensure their business continuity plans are robust and have been tested under pressure.

International CES, the consumer-electronics market's mega-trade show, is set to propel the industry into a New Year.
The 2012 show, which will take place from Jan. 10-13 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, will have a hard act to follow. Last year's International CES set a record in attendance from outside the United States—30,000, according to a statement by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the show's owner and producer. All told, more than 140,000 people attended the 2011 CES, viewing the wares of more than 2,700 technology companies from across the globe.
CES has received kudos from the trade-show industry for several years. Last October, Trade Show Executive magazine cited it as both the largest trade show and the trade show with the greatest economic impact. The publication put the show at number one in its Gold 100 rankings for 2010, the fourth year in a row CES took this honor.
Even with these numbers, however, CEA has high expectations for the 2012 show. "We are expecting this to be one of our best shows yet," said Tara Dunion, the association's senior director of communications. Dunion said CES' exhibitor tally will once again top 2,700, with the exhibitors spread over 1.8 million net square feet of space at the convention center.
The show will feature two new areas, Eureka Park and PMA@CES. Eureka Park will focus on more than 80 startup companies and emerging companies that are new to CES. PMA@CES will offer industry-specific content and product exhibits related to all aspects of digital imaging.
Also, the 2012 CES will present an expanded grouping of wireless exhibits. These will spread over two of the show's TechZones: Access on the Go and the new MEMS TechZone.
The Access on the Go TechZone will highlight mobile devices, including tablet computers and e-Readers, that deliver content such as music, movies, television, books and magazines. The MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) area will offer up companies that are fueling the adoption of this technology in mobile phones, game consoles, tablet computers and other devices.
At the 2012 Sports and Fitness TechZone, fitness guru Jillian Michaels will underscore technology's use in fitness products. Michaels will talk about the impact of digital innovation and about her recent partnership with BodyMedia, an on-body monitor company.
A recent CEA survey found that sports and fitness products garner annual sales of $70 billion in the United States alone. The Sports and Fitness TechZone will throw the spotlight on products such as activity-tracking armbands, waterproof MP3 players, GPS-enabled high-definition cameras, high-technology heart monitors, gesture-recognition and full-body tracking user interfaces for games and sports simulators, high-technology sports goggles and GPS locators, among others.
As usual, CES will feature keynote speeches from a number of consumer-electronic celebrities. On Jan. 9, Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, will deliver the preshow keynote address at The Venetian. CEA noted that past Microsoft keynotes have focused on new-product introductions such as the Xbox and the Avatar Kinect.
The opening-day keynote will take place on the following day at The Venetian, and will be delivered by Dr. Paul Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm, and CEA's president and CEO, Gary Shapiro. They will discuss the current state of the consumer electronics industry.
Later on Jan. 10 will be keynote speeches from Dieter Zetsche, chairman of Daimler and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, and Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel. Zetsche, who will speak at the Las Vegas Hilton Theater, will talk about automotive technology; and Otellini, who will deliver his address at The Venetian, will speak on his vision for Intel and the future of consumer technology.
On Jan. 11, the keynote will be delivered by Hans Vestberg, president and CEO of Ericsson Group. Vestberg, who will give his address at The Venetian, will speak about the future of mobile broadband.

Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
The P55A and P55 boards from GIGABYTE use the same amount of power. There is no real increase in power between the two boards, or any reduction in the newer board.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboards, this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
Heat generation is almost identical between the two GIGABYTE boards also, since they use the same Mosfets and heatsink design to cool the board and components.

Eminem Recalls Waking Up in Hospital Following Overdose
What is it like to be called the "God of Rock"? Eminem and Lil Wayne can tell you, as they cover the November 2011 issue of GQ magazine focusing on the survivors of the rock star life, along with The Rolling Stones guitarist and icon Keith Richards.
In the coming issue, Eminem gets candid about his once overbearing drug addiction, sharing with quite the colorful language a scary situation. He told the magazine:
"I came to in the hospital and I didn't know what the f*** happened. Tubes in me and s***, f***in' needles in my arms. I didn't realize I had [overdosed]. I wanted my drugs -- get me the f*** outta there! I think I was clean for two weeks. I was trying so hard -- I was trying to do it for my kids -- but I just wasn't ready."The "Lose Yourself" rapper also recalls what his experience was like in his short stint in rehab, recalling:
"Every addict in rehab feels like everyone's staring at them. With me? Everyone was staring at me. I could never be comfortable."He continued, telling GQ, "There were people there that treated me normal. Then there were a bunch of f***ing idiots who aren't even concentrating on their own sobriety because they're so worried about mine. They're stealing my hats, my books -- it was chaos. Everything was drama in there. And at the time, I didn't really want to get clean. Everybody else wanted me to. And anyone will tell you: If you're not ready, nothing is going to change you. Love, nothing."
Meanwhile, Eminem just turned 39 on Monday and he says he's now clean and sober. For more of Eminem's interview, visit GQ.com, where they will also be featuring interviews from all of the pegged "Survivors" in the coming days.

Memories keep Christmas spirit glowing
An excellent production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" at the Henderson Fine Arts Center last week has me dwelling on the powerful effect of Christmas on our thoughts and feelings about the past, present and future.
For those who missed the show I can say it was great all around: The actors, the music and singing, the elaborate sets and surprising on-stage special effects (I've got to get one of those fog machines) combined for a rousing rendition of Dickens' Christmas classic. At times it was downright scary, just as intended by the author and appreciated by his readers in the mid-1840s.
Besides the vivid tale of Scrooge's transformation, its message has lasted down through nearly 170 years: That the past cannot be altered, that we should celebrate the present and our fellow men who share it and that what we do in the present can and will affect the future, for worse or for better.
At Christmastime we often are reminded of loved ones and friends who have passed away. We so wish that they could be here to share the holiday with us again. Our memories of happy times with them enrich us today, and we know they live on with good effects in the hearts and minds of those they touched.
The day after the show a letter landed on my desk. It came from Norma Walker of Henderson. I must admit it got to me.
Here's Norma's Christmas story:
"My only son liked to play Santa Claus to the young children in our family and to the children of friends. He worked as a construction worker and, though tired, managed to get around to each one before Christmas to hear their requests.
"At last he was at our door to see my then youngest grandson, Jesse. Jesse threw open the door and stepped back as the tall Santa entered, saying 'Ho, ho, ho! Well, Jesse, come here and tell Santa, what you'd like for Christmas.'
"Jesse slowly climbed on his lap, taking one of Santa's hands in his. 'You know, Santa, you got scarred up hands just like my Uncle Jimmy!'
"'Yes, Jesse, Santa works hard in the toy shop and gets a boo-boo now and then.'
"Jesse was four years old then. He is now almost 20 and expecting his own child. My son passed away recently and so many memories come to mind, but this one has been and will be told again and again with smiles and tears."
Norma's story of the hardworking Santa who made time to spread the joy of the holiday to children seems a good example of making the most of the present and thereby enriching the future.
In my own home, this year will probably be remembered as the year of the Great Christmas Tree Collapse. Amid the debris of the fallen tree, we uncovered and salvaged many mementos of happy times past and the people we shared them with. I was thankful for that.
And although in the moments after the calamity I said several things about the Christmas tree that could not be described as evoking a proper holiday spirit, we got it put back up and all is well. Maybe someday it will be a funny memory. Maybe.
I'm also thinking about another Christmas tree this year.
On Dec. 6, Paula Maurice, our advertising manager, died after a brief battle with an unrelenting enemy, pancreatic cancer. She was 57 and had spent her entire working life in the newspaper business.
Paula came to us from our sister newspaper, the Evansville Courier & Press. She was welcomed into The Gleaner family just as she welcomed becoming a member. Paula had many friends in the office and among our customers throughout the community, and her passing made for a sad time here.
The day of her funeral I was leaving the office after nightfall. The front of the building was deserted. As I passed her darkened office, I had to stop.
There in the middle of her desk was a small Christmas tree, aglow with lights and ornaments. The image struck me: There in the dark, her tree is still shining. I think she'd like that.
Now I need to apologize.
A letter to Santa from 7-year-old Allie all the way down in Texas did not make it into our Holiday Greetings section last week, although the two from her sisters, Ralyn and Braydan, did. I don't know how it happened, but I can assure Allie that Santa and his elves don't make mistakes like that.
Here's her letter: "Dear Santa, for Christmas I want a new karaoke machine. Love, Allie."
I hope she gets that karaoke machine and that when she and her sisters visit their Henderson grandparents, Don and Terri Berry, everybody sings up a storm, making great Christmas memories to treasure through the years.

Gear Review
Colin Gordon
i got these 4 xmas. id wanting them for awhile, so i was excited. 1st time i used them, they were great, but after about 2 months, they started to make a rattling sound. maybe i turned it up too high and cracked them, but i should be able 2 make it as loud as i want. if you tilt your head at all, they slip off. i wanted these, thinking theyd b tight enough to snowboard, but i can barely bend over to pick something up without them falling off! the size adjustments on the side are also very loose. if ur not really careful, ur hair will get stuck in them, and youd have to be a brain surgeon to get them off without it hurting when that happens. i read online that earbuds only cause hearing loss if theyre turned up too loud.duh. they suggested to have the volume on ipods and mp3 players at half volume. id say if u want phones 4 sports, get the more comfortable of the clip-ons (jvc makes some nice ones). if ur looking 4 travel and everyday headphones, get some bigger ones with more bass tolerance. i still wouldnt turn them up very high either.

Re: Duluth to Knife River
Hi Down,
There is not much in the way of anchorages along the Minnesota North Shore. In my limited experience I have found coast line rocky with no safe places to get out off the lake between Duluth and Silver Bay outside of commerical harbors, harbors of refuge and marinas.
It is possible to anchor for free in some of the commercial artifical harbors but sailors up here only anchor in them as a last resort to esape bad weather. If you are going up in this direction, buy a used copy of Superior Way and/or study Active Captain.
The good news is the marina's are very good and inexpensive. The cruise itself is extremely pretty and you will find yourself alone out there unless you are close to a harbor. Along the North Shore you need to be very careful with the weather because the bad stuff tends to come out of the northwest and the hills along the shore line tend to obscure it. You may not see it until it is on top of you. Weather forecasts are notoriously unreliable because the weather in this part of the world changes faster than almost anywhere else.
On our boat we have a Bruce (130' chain) and a CQR (30' chain + 100' rode) but we have not used them on the North Shore. On the south shore we find ourselves using the Bruce to good effect. Seems to work well in mud and sand and the chain lays it down good.

Color Changers
Acid/base indicators are chemicals that help you compare or estimate the strength of an acid or base by changing color depending on the pH value of a tested liquid. The lower the pH value, the more acidic the liquid. The higher the pH value, the more basic, or alkaline, the liquid.
In this project, you will make indicators from foods, such as red cabbage and various plants. You will determine the affect of acids and bases on the color of indicators and create color scales for the different indicators. You will also investigate the effect of soil pH on the color of flowers containing an acid-base indicator.
Getting Started
Purpose: To determine the effect of acids and bases on red cabbage indicator.
- pen
- masking tape
- 1-tablespoon (15-ml) measuring spoon
- white vinegar, 5%
- distilled water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- three 10-ounce (300-ml) clear plastic cups
- sheet of white copy paper
- red cabbage indicator (see Appendix 6)
- 4 stirring spoons
- Use the pen and tape to label the cups "Acid," "Base," "Neutral."
- Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vinegar to the Acid cup, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of distilled water and 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking soda to the Base cup, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of distilled water to the Neutral cup. Note: Wash the spoon in distilled water and dry it after each use so that you do not contaminate or dilute the contents of the different cups.
- Set the cups on one of the sheets of white paper so that it will be easier to detect color changes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of red cabbage indicator to each cup. Using different spoons, stir the contents of each cup. Then observe and record their color in a Red Cabbage Indicator Data table like Table 27.1.
The red cabbage indicator turns red in vinegar, remains purple in water, and turns blue in baking soda.
Chemicals are substances made of a combination of elements (basic chemical substance of which all things are made). Each element is made of atoms (building blocks of matter), and only one kind of atom makes up each specific element. Indicators are natural or synthetic chemical substances that change color in response to other chemicals. Acid/base indicators change colors in the presence of acids or bases. Acids are aqueous solutions containing hydronium ions—H3O+1 and bases are aqueous solutions containing hydroxide ions—OH–1. Generally the characteristics of acids and bases are opposite. The special scale for measuring the acidic or basic nature of a substance is called the pH scale. The values on the pH (a number used to indicate the acidic or basic nature of a solution) scale range from 0 to 14, with the pH value of 7 being neutral (having no acidic or basic properties). Acids have a pH of less than 7 and bases have a pH greater than 7.
Red cabbage contains a chemical that is one of a class of compounds called anthocyanins (red pigment found in some foods). The anthocyanin pigment in red cabbage is an acid/base indicator. Vinegar is known to be an acid with a pH of about 2.8 and baking soda is a base with a pH of about 8.5. So from the results of this experiment, cabbage indicator is red at pH of 2.8, purple at pH 7, and blue at pH 8.5. For more information about color changes of anthocyanins in red cabbage due to changes in pH, see pages 10–11 in Dianne N. Epp's The Chemistry of Food Dyes (Terrific Science Press: Middletown, Ohio, 1995).

This is me, looking dead, in Montara
This is me, looking dead, in Montara.
I was imagining what it would be like to die from a Fly Agaric mushroom… plus, my amazing paparazzi photographer, Carla, threw a little dirt on me and some got in my eye balls. I could tell right away the photo shoot was going to be amazing, since she was laughing at me and telling me how there was probably bugs in my hair – or that I was ingesting deadly mushroom spores. Nothing says professionalism, like when your photographer keeps looking down at the camera to review the shots, and says, "Ohhh man! That one is really bad. I'm going to delete it right now."
But it's not Carla's fault. I lead her there under false pretenses, saying it would be a 30 minute trip to take a couple fun pic.'s of me next to these really cool mushrooms. ("let's go! It'll be sooo fun!")And, I needed her to come – uh, like, now! – since rain was upon us. It probably wasn't until she saw the pearl necklaces, wardrobe changes, and Dior lipgloss did she realize what she committed herself to.
I have been trapped by Carla many times before though. Back in the days where Carla did amazing flower arrangements – rather than amazing gardening – she would trick me to go with her to the SF Flower Market.
Carla: "Jenn do you want to come with me to the flower market!? It'll be so fun and there are tons of flowers!"
Jenn: "Sure! That sounds great!"
Little did I know it meant getting there by 3-4AM and schlepping her bounty around like some sort of tired pack mule. It was cold and thankless… but for some reason, I'd keep going back with her… thinking maybe the next trip would be really fun.
So, I guess you could say I took a little pleasure forcing Carla to be my paparazzi for the morning. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta take pic.'s of me in dirt next to deadly mushrooms.
Happy Next To Mushroom
Amazing and different. I love the juxtaposition of you and the mushroom, the play of color, etc.
Jenn #3
Well, I couldn't find my check book for about an hour, and I couldn't remember how to spell "especially" ("epeshally", espesheilly" and so on…) so I'm blaming all that on the deadly spores.
carla #4
YOU LIE!! You LOVED going to the Flower mart at 3am! (and I didn't mind too much rolling around in the dirt under a cypress tree playing high fashion photographer- it was weird, but fun…)
Oh, it's funny that you say you looked dead…as I was deleting the images from my camera (except for a select few for future blackmailing purposes, hehehe) I thought, these few look like crime scene shots!! -
Good "River's Edge" sort of thing going on. I'd be happy to trade all this snow for lying in the grass with bugs in my hair.
Genevieve #7
Oh my gosh you are my favorite new camera-whore friend!! I love getting all dressed up for glamour shots! You look gorgeous with your deadly mushroom, and the Dior lipgloss – I mean, that's an espes- espesh- especshelly nice touch, dude. Cool post, Jenn!
Nancy #9
Your site is lovely! I love the mushroom pictures and you next to the mushroom.
What's the plant in your banner?
Jenn #10
Thanks all!
Nancy: That is a pic of rose hips… rosa rugosa. Amazing rose – not really for the flowers but for those huge hips. Great for jams, teas, etc. -
Frances #11
Hi Jenn, what a fun and fabulous shot! You look really undead and the shroom is a looker too.
Frances -
kerri #13
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
I like your sense of humor
Great photos and that's a very pretty mushroom! -
Rhonda #14
Thanks for stopping by The Garden Buzz, yeah, I had fun with the Taylor Swift/Stevie Nicks article that was really about Baptisia australis. You've got a great blog, maybe the one I would have if I were 20 (OK, maybe 25) years younger! Sharp writing, nice photos and an insouciant tone.
tina #16
That's quite a shot Carla took. The dirt in your eye probably helped too. I'll be sure to stay away from these mushrooms!
James #17
Cool! I see these in my woods sometimes. I told a friend about them once and he was all excited, wanting to collect them for smoking purposes…I told him no
james #18
Wow.. For the moment I thought it was a snapshot from the Lord of The Ring Movie of the Elf-Queen. Again, reminds me of a fairytale story of Sleeping Beauty or is it..Snow White?
Anyway.. thats certainly a beautiful mushroom.Thanks for dropping by my blog.
Melissa #19
Thanks for the "inner fire" idea posted on my blog. (I've discovered hot water bottles work well too). Love your photo near the 'shroom. And I would be happy to shoot a flower mart at 3 am if it were in someplace warm!
high heel freak #20
Great photos!! There's nothing like an impromptu photo shoot, but it is normally the model who is caught off guard rather than the photographer. Keep up the good work!
Ellen #21
But what I want to know is, did you take the mushroom home with you and if so, what did you do with it!?
Jenn #22
I didn't!
Mainly because I saw another man there gathering mushrooms and I was annoyed that he was taking so many. If I were to take them – they'd go right in the kitchen under one of the many glass clothe containers I have, featuring random nature things… wasp nest, birds nest, honey bees, etc.
Getting high from mushrooms and doing quickbooks doesn't really mix – so that's out of the picture!
Rose #23
Fantastic photo! I certainly don't look that good in the garden:) Skimming through your earlier posts, I found the one about Carl Linneaus and how certain flowers opened at different times of the day–this was fascinating!
found your website on del.icio.us these days and truly liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to take a look some more later

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs legend Gonzalez explains Yasiel Puig interaction
Everybody in baseball seems to know who Yasiel Puig is these days.
The Cuban defector, who has a total of 135 big league at-bats under his belt, has electrified the baseball world and helped propel the Los Angeles Dodgers to second place in the National League West.
However, just because everyone seems to know who Puig is does not mean Puig knows who everyone in the baseball world is just yet.
Case in point, Diamondbacks legend Luis Gonzalez, who tried to introduce himself to the rookie phenom prior to Tuesday night's game at Chase Field.
"I was just trying to show professional courtesy that I would to any other player just standing around the cage," Gonzalez told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday. "I was actually talking to (Dodgers hitting coach Mark) McGwire and (John) Valentin, the other assistant hitting coach, and I said 'you know, let me go say hi to Puig.' He was right by the cage."
The 2001 World Series hero proceeded to explain that he introduced himself as Luis Gonzalez.
"I didn't expect him to know who I was, and I could care less," he admitted.
Gonzalez then intimated what AZCentral Sports' Dan Bickley wrote in a Wednesday column -- Puig blew him off, and received a bit of a talking to from McGwire.
"As far as the human factor is concerned, this guy's been up in the major leagues for a month, and about four or five months ago nobody knew who this guy was and coming from a family from Cuba, where my parents have always taught me to appreciate everything you have," Gonzalez continued. "This guy is making money now that he will have never even thought about where he was before in Cuba, so you have to learn to appreciate things.
"And I think for all of us it was a valuable lesson."
Gonzalez then said he walked away and it was "no big deal" to him, and that his only intent was to open up a bridge of communication with a player with whom he shares a connection.
"I wasn't asking him to sign baseballs or take a picture with me or anything like that," he said. "I just thought we had a common bond with where my family is from and where he's from."

2011 Bass Tournament Season Under Way
- Blog Post by: Rich Lindgren
- May 24, 2011 - 7:27 PM
My first tourney of the season was this past Saturday; with the super high water this spring and all the travel I have been doing, there wasn't much time for practice. I did get out for about 3 hours the Wednesday evening prior, but all that was accomplished was looking at new water that wasn't productive, checking water levels and falling out of boat reaching for trolling motor right before heading home and losing my favorite sandals in the mucky bottom of a backwater. But watch for a blog post on how to dry a cell phone out in the near future.
That being said, I and my partner had a game plan for tournament day, we were dedicating our entire day to two backwater areas targeting primarily largemouth. We started on a rip rap bank where I caught a nice 15.5" smallmouth on an Ima Shaker crankbait in Bluegil color and 2 more keepers on a black tube. Shortly after, Steve caught a small largemouth keeper on a white swim jig.
We then spent the rest of the day in a larger backwater area largely flipping tubes, jigs & beavers to shallow wooden cover on rocky banks. My primary baits came down to a 3/8oz Tungsten jig and a black 4" tube on a 3/16oz weight fished on 17-20lb fluorocarbon on heavy action Dobyns Rods.
All in all i caught about 12 keepers throughout the day, because its catch and release, we did a paper tourney, my best 5 fish measured/weighed 15.44lbs (18", 17.5", 17.25", 16.5" 16"). My partner got 4 keepers and had his 5th fish on several times. I also lost one kicker fish, stupid mistake rushing her and trying to swing her in, she hit on the edge of the gunnel and flopped the wrong way.
18" = 3.64lbs Bass shown above
In the end, I ended up 4th out of 26 anglers, very solid, but I always want to win and stings when you drop a difference maker fish on a dumb decision. I feel that most of these fish were trying to spawn as the water was around 63-64 degrees and were a few days past the full moon. So fishing slow and deliberate around key areas seem to be the ticket.
Also of note, my Akinetix Moisture wicking Polo and under shirt were a perfect combo for this rainy day, it dried in just a few moments, so no matter if your rain suit fails or you get caught without it, you fish comfortably!
But no time to worry about spilled milk, had to get home get the batteries charged and ready for tournament #2 on Sunday out of Red Wing and haven't been there in a year.....

Royal Guest Rooms - Standard View or Garden View
We are staying at the POR in January. Contemplating upgrading from a standard view to a garden view. Both are the Royal Guest rooms. Is the view that much better? We will be spending some time at the hotel this trip..
Thanks, everyone! |
IMHO, paying extra for a veiw at a moderate is not worth the money. Since you don't have a balcony from which to enjoy the view, it just doesn't justify the extra cost. I guess you could put a chair or two outside on the public walkway, but you will have other guests walking by in front of you as they travel to/from their rooms.
I also have a standard view reserved. I won't pay the extra for views in a moderate or value resort.
Sometimes you get upgraded just for the heck of it and you could hope for that. (We checked into All Star Sports in August and were given a preferred room instead of the standard we reserved). |
At POR, Standard will get you parking lot views and some of the farther rooms. Garden will give you a view of grassy areas, courtyards, or fountains and may be a tad closer to bridges to the main areas.
POR veiws
I just had a garden view RGR. I thought it was worth the upgrade. I overlooked the fountain in the center of Oak Manor, and could peek at the river if I wanted to. I don't want to look at cars and a parking lot, I see that enough in my real life.
We do spend time at the resort though, and walked the grounds quite a bit. I liked that it felt away from everything because I never saw a parking lot. If you are a commando tourer or a dawn to dark park-goer, I can see how it isn't worth it, but for me, it definitely was. |
Just as I ride buses at Disney (as I do in real life), I don't mind a parking lot "view" in a Mod. All I need to do is walk a short distance away, and the parking lot's gone. That's why I booked a standard RR.
Thanks everybody!
por garden veiw
In the moderates, such as POR that now have Royal Rooms - it is very similar to CBR and the pirate rooms - it is all about the physical location of the room. They have converted some of the most remotely located rooms to themed rooms to entice people to book them and fill them. Standard views, especially in Parterre Place, are some of the most remote rooms on-site. While they are quiet and close to the outer loop bus stop and parking, many people will not realize they are far from the food court and main building. The garden view would put them that much closer to the walkways leading to the front of the main building, and then the food court. |
I wouldn't pay to upgrade. Essentially we got an upgrade last time. We paid for a RR Standard and while we were near the parking lot, our window looked out into the "courtyard"/gardens. It wouldn't have mattered though, I can tell you we didn't spend any time "appreciating" the view. We had full days at the resort too but still very little time was spent in the room.
Plus, does anyone feel a little odd with the curtains open in their mod/value? Maybe it's just me, but you kind of see more of the people walking by than you do "the view". And, I feel like my room needs to be super tidy and everyone better be done with showers and dressed when the curtains are open, LOL, cuzz everyone can see everything in your room! :lmao:
You mostly see the walkway in front of your windows, unless you actually walk over to the windows and look out of them. When I do that, I get sidetracked waving at passersby and kind of forget about the view. :rotfl2: I have walked out of my room and around the walkway near the room to check out the view from time to time in the morning or evening. well, just my 2 cents ;) My DH will be in a royal room on the 5th, can't wait! mary |
Have to agree with Missytara. I wouldn't pay the upcharge for a view. But I will pay an upcharge to put me closer to the bridges. That usualy means ponying up the extra $$ for riverview. Or preferred, if you don't mind an AB room.
I wouldn't pay for a water or river view, but I will pay not to look at a parking lot. We had a garden view room on our last trip to POR. For me, it was worth the $10/night to be surrounded by the lush landscaping every time we walked out of our room.
