Walking through the doors of PS 31, one might expect to see the typical goings-on of any public elementary school: young children being hurried to and fro by their teachers, administrators keeping an eye on the hallways and classrooms filling up with eager students.
True, PS 31 is a typical school, but walk through the lobby and past the double doors into the auditorium and it is clear that the Bayside School — as it is commonly referred to — is special.
Music teacher Will Coppola and first-year art teacher Ashley Ciccotelli took on the challenge of putting on "The Little Mermaid" using students ranging in age.
"It takes a lot of patience because they are 9- and 10-year-olds," Ciccotelli said. "Sometimes we forget when we see them on stage and then later in the day we'll see them with their classmates and realize, 'Oh right, they are just kids.'"
Even so, both teachers did a stupendous job in bringing more than a dozen actors, singers, dancers and crew members together to put on a breathtaking show.
It is fun, silly and beautiful, everything a Disney show should be.
Little Grace Wansor, a fifth-grader who will be attending MS 158 next year, takes the lead role of the precocious teenager Ariel, who dreams of nothing more than to live on land.
"At first it was scary being on stage but then you get used to it," Grace said, who prepared for her role by listening to the songs and watching the 1989 Disney film multiple times.
Though there can only be a few leading stars, it is clear that every student feels appreciated; no doubt the work of director Coppola and producer Ciccotelli.
"We want them all to know what it feels like to bring a little something into a much bigger production," Coppola said. "They were each responsible for little things for their costumes or characters."
Ashley Norbert as Sebastian and Emilia Salazar as Ursula are quite the hams on stage, something that serves both of their characters well.
The shifting set and beautiful lighting — another brave feat for a show at an elementary school — suited the show perfectly, and the performers' peers were impressed by the costumes and colors in the "Under the Sea" number.
The show will run on June 12 and 14 at 7 p.m. at PS 31, located at 211-45 46 Road in Bayside. Tickets are $5.

Pieter, you guess it! 'Wally's Bullfrog', also known simply as 'Bullfrog'. It's a stable sport of 'Krossa Regal' with a very unusual pattern. Do you think it looks like a bullfrog???

High Quality PHP
The historical perception of PHP in the software development community has not been the best. Some think it is a language for non-programmers and tinkerers, generally resulting in software of questionable quality. From its beginnings as a simple scripting language for online guests-books, PHP has transformed itself in the last 15 years to support high-quality software development and enterprise deployment, and it has managed to do so without losing the roots of its initial success.

Sanford returns home to impeachment rumblings
Did South Carolina's missing governor commit a 'serious offense' by going underground in Argentina?
Mary Ann Chastain, file/AP
UPDATE: Read the transcript of the live blogging session that took place during Governor Sanford's press conference. "The Vote" blogger Jimmy Orr spoke with Gary Karr during the event. Karr is a longtime South Carolina political pundit serving as a reporter for the State House and as press secretary for former South Carolina Governor David Beasley.
What began as a story of a quirky Southern governor going on a mystery walkabout took a more serious turn Wednesday morning, with reports of impeachment talk bubbling out of South Carolina's capital.
The disappearing act by Mark Sanford, a gubernatorial hero of the GOP who resurfaced after a five-day incommunicado absence, has not played well, even among members of his own party. The impeachment rumblings, first cited by Southern Political Report editor Tom Baxter, are more grave, though. In a bulletin Wednesday morning about the impeachment talks, Mr. Baxter quotes "well-placed sources" in Columbia.

Introducing the Ice Cream Banana Tree Why this Tree is Top Banana:
Ice Cream Banana: Tropical Beauty and Delicious Fruit Combined
What happens when you combine great tasting fruit with tropical beauty? You get a backyard banana tree that is rapidly becoming the most popular variety available. And with good reason. Incredibly sweet banana flavor is only one of the many benefits of this lush and hardy tree.
It's a fast growing specimen with gigantic leaves and a stout, sturdy trunk that will soar to heights of 18 feet. The lime green leaves are complimented by blue - yes blue- tinted bananas that give the tree its nickname: Blue Java.
The clustered rows of fruit cling to the tree in large numbers. Completing the ornamental allure of the Ice Cream Banana are the large burgundy flowers that make the trio of colors complete. This is a gorgeous tree that has to be seen to be believed. The Tree that Grows Ice Cream
Money may not grow on trees, but ice cream does! When you taste the soft, creamy fruit from the Ice Cream Banana Tree, you'll agree that it was aptly named. The taste and consistency is unlike any other banana variety in the world.
Often compared to vanilla custard, peel away the blue-green skin and you'll be amazed at the white flesh of the banana. Smooth, sweet and creamy, there's no banana anywhere else like it in the world. For a refreshing treat right off the tree, or in savory deserts and fruit salads, there's no limit to the sweet sensations you can create with the Ice Cream Banana.
Plant yours today and start growing Ice Cream in your own backyard.
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Ice Cream Banana Tree. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your Ice Cream Banana Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Ice Cream Banana Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Some celebs are too cool for school, but there are a surprising number that would have been labeled as geeks, nerds and dweebs if Hollywood were a high school. Superheros and other geekery seem to be everywhere these days, so we thought it'd be a good time to give you a round-up of the latest geeky celebrity news.
What's on Weird Al's Netflix Queue?
Is there any celebrity that fully embraces his overflowing nerd-dom as effortlessly as Weird Al? We think not. But somehow he manages to maintain a special place in our hearts, especially with the special edition of "Bambi" as one of his top picks on his Netflix queue. See what else the curly-haired parody lyrics master (and accordion virtuoso) is looking forward to snapping up in a red envelope. (Adultswim)

The Hartmannellidae are a family of amoebozoa,[1] usually found in soils. When active they tend to be roughly cylindrical in shape, with a single leading pseudopod and no subpseudopodia. This form somewhat resembles a slug and as such they are also called limax amoebae. Trees based on rRNA show the Hartmannellidae as usually defined are paraphyletic to the Amoebidae, which may adopt similar forms.

I need some help with my math homework. :] please?
Homework Help at 26 February 2009 08:02:27
QI need some help. Hehe.Directions:: "Solve by witting a system of equations and using substitution."1. "To earn money for college, Susan is making and selling earrings. Her weekly costs for advertising and phone calls are $36, and each pair of earrings cost $1.50 to produce. If Susan sells the earrings at $6 per pair, how many pairs must she sell per week to break even?"2. "To conduct a scientific experiment, students need to mix 90 milliliters of 3% acid solution. They have a 1% and a 10% solution available. How many milliliters of the 1% solution and of the 10% solution should be combined to produced 90 milliliters of the 3% solution?"Please show your work and what you did. I appreciate the help! THANKS! :]
RSo, we'll look at how much she'll make from these earrings. Let's have X be the number of earrings she sells.6X will be how much money she makes right?But now there are costs. And if she just broke even, that means she neither gained nor lost any money. So the equation would be6X - 1.5X - 36 = 04.5X = 36X = 8So, the total amount has to equal 90ml right? So, the amount of 1%, lets just make that X. The amount for the 10% will have to be (90-X), right?So, lets just see how much acid they're going to need to make.90ml * 3% = 2.7090*1% + (90-X)*10% = 2.70.9 + 9 - 0.1X = 2.709.9 - 2.70 = 0.1X7.2 = 0.1XX = 7290 - X = 18You need 72ml of 1% and 18ml of 10%.

Body Dies are designed to full length resize the case body, bump the shoulder position for proper chambering, but not size the neck at all. They are made without internal parts and are intended for resizing cases which have become increasingly difficult to chamber after repeated firing. After using a body die, the case should be run through the neck die to achieve proper neck tension. Sold separately or as part of a set.

It was a struggle for us to find this hostel because it was in the other side of the island of Santorini. But other than that, it is a good place to stay in. It is probably one of the best hostel we have ever stayed in. The rooms are very big and spacious and they even had a pool that was open 24/7. My friends and I had a great time swimming and playing games in the pool.

The staff were really pleasant and the pool is wonderful, bus stop only around the corner and runs all night into fira but is a little while out. We did book a twin private ensuite and thought it was strange they asked us if a stranger could share our room for one night.. And the private ensuite was not in the room but out across the hall way and other people used it and we came back to one night and it was disgusting covered it dirt..

When you come on line and open your OS page, open a second tab and bring up your OS page in that tab too.
Then click on a blog you want to go to. While waiting for that to come up, click on the second tab and then chose the next blog you'll want to read. Go back to the first tab that has your first choice now up.
While reading and commenting on that blog, your second choice will come up on the second tab. Once finished with the first tab, click on "View blog" to return that tab to your page.
Then go read the second blog that is waiting for you on your other tab. Keep an eye on the first tab so you'll know when you own page has come back up, then switch over to it to pick another blog to read. Switch back to the blog you were reading and continue with that while that tab brings up your next blog to read.
Keep alternating between tabs to always have another blog waiting for you to read - or to write, when you finish one blog.
This keeps you changing blogs as fast as you could do if the site were working properly.
Also, if you comment on a blog, then, when you hit "Pubish" you get an "errors" page, just ignore it. Your comment WILL appear on the blog you wanted it to be on. On the errors page just click on your own blog again. It helps to keep a link to your own blog page in your bookmarks bar.
Good luck! ;-)
Your comment got me to wondering about something. I just now opened up eight tabs and clicked on one blog for each tab. The first one came up while I was setting up the rest. By the time I'd finished reading that first one ALL the rest were up; each on its own tab. Now that is pure luxury!
I am doing all you suggest on Firefox, Google Chrome,
and Internet Explorer simultaneously.
On certain days, one or the other of them is more responsive.
It varies.
I am , alas, developing vertigo watching all the spinning.
I wonder:
do you have any suggestions on how a fellow might
READ HIS F-ING PM's?
Nary a one. I use a MacBook Pro with its Safari browser. I've never had any trouble at all getting my PMs - after I've waited long enough for the Inbox page to open, of course!
Are you having trouble opening your "Inbox" page? Or does that Inbox open up just fine but you can't get your messages to open up when you click on them?
If the problem is that you can't get your Inbox page to open, have you tried going to one of the other places in the "More" section and trying to access your Inbox from there? I have found that, when OS is particularly slow, after I've read someone's blog and I want to return to my page, I can often get there faster and with less "error' pages by clicking on New Post, which usually opens up fairly quickly, then clicking on "View Blog" from the New Post page instead of from the blog I was reading.
Sometimes the long way around is the short way home.... y'know?
I bet it will work!
As for the long way around being the short way home: i am putting that on my list of possible headstone epithets.
It's only one click more. Let me know if it works! If it does I'll get a message off to scanner and a few others who've mentioned that they too can't get their PMs.
Er..... did you mean to say "headstone epitaphs?" Or maybe, like me, you'll have epithets for an epitaph!
despite my standing as a world class pseudo-intellectual!
epitaph. epithet.
i usually cover up my linguistic incompetence by saying,
"i was being creative with the language".
anyway, none of that stuff worked. i just gotta keep reloading
til my luck changes.
i suspect that at this point, a goddess is at work.
Intervening for me.
Yes, OS has made me an utter mythological pagan.
I am assuming that you can't get your "Inbox" to open and NOT that it will open but you can't get your PMs to open (I had asked about that but you didn't enlighten me).
Sooooo....... are you up for a bit of "trial-n-error"?
First lets check that your OS page is sending the right URL to OS's computer to reach your Inbox. My OS page, when I click on "Inbox", gives me this URL.....
........check it against what your URL bar has in it. If anything is missing, add it in. If anything else is in the bar, take it out.
Next, you could try, after clicking Inbox, while waiting for it to (not) come up, click on the "refresh" button at the right end of your URL bar.
Next, try deleting the URL message that comes up when you click Inbox and type in the address manually, then hit "enter" (on a PC or "return" on a mac).
Next, try entering that URL addy manually from your OS page, without hitting "Inbox" first.
Next, try entering that URL addy manually from the OS front page.
Next, try opening a number of tabs. Get your OS page up on all of them, then hit "Inbox" on all of them.
Next, take Jake out behind the barn and administer proper punishment to his nether regions until he agrees to fix this problem.... Yes, you may borrow my cane.
Heaven help the poor non-member schmuck who can't sign in. I've directed family and friends to my posts over at Our Salon.
One last "try". Open up Edit Account (under the More tab), then open "Profile". Where it says "Display name", erase that name and then type it in again exactly as it was before.
intuitively. cuz i know the crazier/more convoluted life gets,
the savvier i gotta get.
expect the unexpected.
like: all these beautiful anchorwomen on the cable news channels
in the daytime, then
night falls and men take over. weird.
jake needs to be what the frat boys call "initiated".
we shove him in a trunk, drive him to an undisclosed location.
give him a top of the line computer to naviagate.
if he can get on, then
we shall be schooled.
if not, he shall be shamed.
uh, i dunno, smack his knee GENTLY , man, when ya shove
him in the trunk.
If you don't SHARE with us just how you got your PMs, I know about six people who are going to join up and come over there and tan your butt for you!
For instance, today, while you guys have been having good fortune using your multi-tab capabilities, I've been kicked off the system altogether, requiring me to log back in a total of 3 times thus far.
It works, but for how many of us at one time, I'm wondering?
It also became impossible to finish editing my latest post for publication.
It begs answers to questions Open will not supply, such as why things have to be so wobbly here in the first place.
Jake may be a nice enough guy, but I doubt he can go over enough heads at Salon Corp to make any changes necessary to allow us to blog freely while handling the spam influx.
Peace, dear sir....
R for valor
a nice little note comes up . theni gotta respond to it, aarg.
i like my hide as it is... i aint gonna get it tanned, noway.
anyway...i uploaded this new sinister avatar!
fits my mood.
OS's system can easily handle all of us opening multiple tabs. Where its system gets overloaded is when it is used by a number of different spammer/hackers to each broadcast sports events to tens of thousands of watchers all at one time. I doubt that OS has more than a few hundred members on-line at any given time.
I also suspect that not only OS is at fault in some cases. I suspect that because it always seems to be the same members who have the greatest difficulties, while others only experience a few problems. We all, for instance, experience the slowness and the error notices. But few of us experience getting told to log in - enter our name and password - repeatedly.
I'm no expert but when certain people - but not all people - repeatedly have the same problem, I doubt that it is OS's fault entirely. I have wondered if the trouble OS suffers has caused a it of scrambling it its stored information. Could your information that OS's computer has - the info that you computer sends out for OS's computer to recognize you - have been damaged in the OS recognition files, do yo think?
That is why I suggested to James that he re-enter his log-in name.
It may also have to do with your ISP signal strength. To check that quickly and easily without downloading a signal strength checking program/gadget, you can open up a video on YouTube and while that video is playing put your pointer on it and right-click. A small window will open up with various choices. Select "Speed Test" and click on it. The video will stop playing and the speed test thingie (tech term that) will open up. You'll have no trouble using it, it is very simple to use.
If your speed isn't up to where it ought to be that might be the cause of some of your problems. There isn't much you can do about that except to raise hell with your internet provider and see if they will improve their service. I was told that their signal can erode for their customers when they have too many subscribers for their equipment to handle. I was also told by a man who had worked for Telus that Telus won't invest in better equipment for an area until they'd had a certain number of complaints about slow speeds and other difficulties. I don't know if that's true but it makes sense. Why spend millions of dollars to upgrade equipment that people aren't complaining about?
Lastly, how up to date is your equipment? Only you know that.
Best of luck to you all!
If James doesn't share how he got his PMs, the lynch mob will meet on Sunday night to pay him a visit!! Bring rope.....
AND reload again.
and refresh too!
on all servers, in many spinning rectangles.
i am dizzy from it all.
that is why i spewed HERESY tonight.
damn sc yatic damn damn nerve. ouchy ouch!
I see that James posted his method while I was typing up my last comment. I guess that means we can't have a lynching party after all (*sigh*.... we never get to have ANY fun!)
maybe jmac? the guy keeps cheating death, he says.
at least tar his hide.
I have been fiddling around with this likewise,and the error is a nuisance unless it gets the messages sent anyway.In order not to lose the message,I copy it before sending,but sometimes I forget to do this and in that case the mails are lost,though not too often.
Do you have any tips for saving sanity while posting? I made my first post in eons today, and just about pulled my hair out. Every step of every little edit -- uploading a photo, trying to change the font, looking at a preview -- involved a wait of indeterminate length. I spent just as long getting the thing posted as I did writing, and by the time I finished I was swearing I'd never post on OS again.
That works for me! You can hold him down, Kosh can tar him, and I'll handle the feather detail!
Dr. Bramhall,
Where I am we have the choice of "dial-up", "high speed", and "ultra-high speed" service.
Dial-up is OK if you want to send one e-mail a week.
"High speed" is the slowest broadband speed there is.
"Ultra-high speed" is available - for a price.
My combined phone - just a phone; no extras like call waiting, or answering service - and my "high-speed" internet runs me a tad over $100.00 per month. Getting Ultra-high speed internet would add about $50.00 to that, soooooo.........
I have gotten the error message on everything except when posting a new blog. I have never has a comment or a PM disappear when I get that message.
The only problem I had with posting a photo or video is that sometimes they don't show up on my page when I post them. I've found that if I hit the "refresh" button at the right end of the URL bar, my photo or video usually comes up. On the very rare occasion that it still doesn't come up then clicking on "Edit blog", going there then immediately clicking on "update" to come back to my blog page, does the trick.
I wonder how many people think their photo or video is not there when it is - just not visible until 'refresh' is clicked.
I doubt it's anything at my end. I'm not doing anything differently than before. And my ISp is a good one. It streams with ease. In fact, I have had no trouble uploading to here from Youtube, and posting pics isn't at issue, either.
Just grindingly slow speeds along with error messages.
Hope that can shed some light.
Salmon en croute?
Isn't that strange. OS has been no more slow for me than it usually is.
Remember that OS is supposed to have on file you computer's identity code. If your computer is working right it sends that code to OS's computer when you log in and possibly every time you click to change pages or blogs. If the code at OS is corrupt, then the code your computer sends might not be fully or easily recognized by that corrupt code.
That is why I suggested that you open "Edit Account", then re-enter your OS password and name. Then open up "Profile" and re-enter your OS name where it says "Display Name".
This would send all fresh information to the OS computer so that if any of the present info is corrupted you'd replace that corrupt code with fresh code.
Just a "guesswork" thought. I have no way of checking whether this is accurate.
Most of us are NOT finding that the site operates at anything that warrants the word "speed" being used. We are getting multiple "error" notices, it takes up to 60 seconds to bring up a blog page, insert a comment, etc.
I'd love to know how your are getting the site to work any better than that!
Yon foaming flood seems motionless as ice;
Its dizzy turbulence eludes the eye,
Frozen by distance."
Address to Kilchurn Castle.
Then again, perhaps Milton put it better?
From beds of raging fire to starve in ice
Their soft ethereal warmth, and there to pine
Immovable, infix'd, and frozen round,
Periods of time; thence hurried back to fire.

I dunno. All i know is that it is Sunday, my goddamn leg
is alternately numb and shooting sparks of pain
due to my sciatica
and i am motionless as OS.

Great selection of GF items in the grocery section. We had breakfast at the cafe and were disappointed there was no GF bread available, considering they carry Rudi's breads in the adjacent grocery. Lunch offered some addl GF items. Prices in both area were very reasonable.

Never any issues here and we eat here often. Many GF options to choose from including their flourless chocolate cake!
925 E Kemper Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45246
So glad I could still eat here after going GF! Several pasta options. They don't have GF bread but don't mind that we bring our own for the oil dip! Nice servers, knowledgable of gluten issues.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sammy!
Facts about Sammy
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Sammy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
3/13/2012: Sammy is a 10-12 week-old male pit bull mix. Another rescue saved him from someone who was selling him on the street for $30. They could not risk him going into a bad situation and brought him to us. He is very sweet and full of life. He gets along great with other dogs, both big and small and he loves kids. When adopted, he will be current on all shots, neutered, microchipped and de-wormed.
Other Pets at Ruff Road Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sammy, a Mesa American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Mesa, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Mesa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mesa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mesa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mesa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Would an unheated barn be a reasonable place to store concrete leaves in cold northern states? Temps may get to zero or below. |

If they remain dry they will be fine. If you have dirt floor it would be a good idea to keep them from touching the ground as dampness can creep up and possible freeze. Wood pallets are everywhere for free. Scoop up one or two of those if you have a lot of stuff to store. Some pallets will fit in a car trunk. |
Thanks for the information tufaenough, especially about the tip on the dirt floor. I've got a couple dozen (so far) to store for a plant sale next June. I've really enjoyed making these things and appreciate all the help I've received from the GardenWebbers. What a great bunch of people. |

You are welcome Fleur. That is quite a few leaves. The great thing about pallets is if you do get frost heaves they will lift everything together because they are ridgid. If you use plastic or even a sheet of plywood the ground frost can lift in some places causing your leaves to possibly rub with the movement. |

you know the stiffness of this board? my park-board got 9 which is just fine but id'like to get a better jib-board.. so it needs to be flexible, someone know the stiffness?
Wooden Robots
It is about a seven on the flex-o-meter. I rode a 56 for my all over board. It worked for me but i thought it was a little too stiff for a straight park board. If you want the all mountain deck, super awesome. If you want a straight park deck, go with the destroyer.

This twenty-six episode series premiered in prime time with a one-hour special that first aired on September 6, 1966. The series aired from September 10, 1966 through August 31, 1969. Twenty-four thirty-minute episodes were produced, each with two eight-minute King Kong episodes paired with a single eight-minute Tom Thumb, 001/7. The one-hour special was split into two 20-minute shows, making the whole series run twenty-six episodes.
"The King Kong Show" was the first anime to be produced specifically for the American market. It was commissioned by Rankin-Bass from Videocraft, an American company, which, in turn, farmed out the work to Japan-based Toei.
Toei funded part of the series itself, and the respective shows did air in Japan under the titles: Sekai no Osha King Kong Daikai (King Kong) and 001/7 Oyayubi Tom (Tom Thumb). However, designs, scripts, storyboards and voice track were supplied ready-made from the United States.
To get the rights (from the owners of the property, RKO General, Inc.) to use the name King Kong for television, executive producer Arthur Rankin, Jr. had to promise to make a feature film. This resulted in Rankin producing and directing his first non-animated movie, "King Kong Escapes," for RKO.

text: Landa A et al. – The results showed that the unmet need for closeness with others was the main internal representation of relationships in 90% of the patients and in only 10% of controls; it was also the strongest predictor of somatization syndrome diagnosis. This suggests that somatization syndromes are strongly associated with the interpersonal representation of the unmet need for closeness with others, which has direct implications for their treatment and future research on their etiology.

In severe cases, patients may need to be admitted to the hospital to receive "supportive care," which includes treatment such as infusing fluids into a person's veins, supplemental nutrition or even the help of a breathing machine.
The good news is that people can take steps to protect themselves against West Nile.
The best way to prevent infection is to avoid mosquito bites. Avoid being outdoors at dawn and dusk when most mosquitoes feed.
If you do need to be outdoors, wear long sleeves, long pants, shoes and socks, along with insect repellant containing DEET. Adults should wear repellants with up to 30 percent DEET, while the American Academy of Pediatricians recommends 10 percent DEET for children between 2 and 12 years of age.
Never allow children to apply their own repellant, and never apply it to their hands.
Keeping screens on windows and doors in good repair will also keep mosquitoes from gaining access to your home.
Stopping mosquitoes from breeding will also help limit your exposure. Mosquito eggs are laid in standing water, so it is very important to empty all areas of standing water -- including flower pots, buckets, barrels, and children's swimming pools. Bird bath water and pet dishes should be changed every few days. Old tires and standing water on pool covers are very common breeding grounds for mosquitoes as well.
Be wary of dead birds. If you see a dead bird, do not touch the bird with your bare hands. Contact your state or local health department. They will give you instructions on how to dispose of the body or they may send someone to test the bird for the virus.
If you have the symptoms described above, call your physician and make him or her aware of you concerns.
If your symptoms are severe or you are having difficulty breathing or walking, or if you have confusion, you should call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Department immediately.

Target CEO resigns, Latino plurality, snobby salespeople and more
Target CEO resigns 5 months after data security breach
Janet Hostetter/AP IMAGES FOR TARGET
Gregg Steinhafel, Target CEO, checks out Black Friday sale items after Target opens its doors on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012 in Bloomington, Minn.
Target's CEO and President Gregg Steinhafel resigned from the company today, just five months after a data breach ensnared millions of Americans' personal data.
While it's unclear how much that played a role in his departure, it does point out that leading a major retailer isn't just about increasing sales, anymore -- you have to make sure your company is ahead of cyber criminals.
For a look at how companies like Target are shifting their priorities to be stronger against cyber crime, we're joined by Danny Yadron, cybersecurity correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.

Cookbook Hall of Fame: Home Cooking and More Home Cooking, Laurie Colwin
The nominees for the Hugo Award, given in 15 categories by the members of the World Science Fiction Convention, were recently announced. For the complete list, check the Hugo website.
Here are some of the nominated novels, works of nonfiction, and films that the Denver Public Library owns:
Best Novel:
Among Others, Jo Walton

Deadline, Mira Grant
Embassytown, China Miéville
The James Tiptree Jr. Award is a literary award given annually to science fiction or fantasy (novels, novellas, short stories) that expands or explores our understanding of gender. The award is named after Alice B. Sheldon, who wrote under the male name James Tiptree Jr. in order to be more accepted by publishers of science fiction.
While some of these books/stories may not be in the Denver Public Library's collection, they may be worth seeking out if you are interested in issues of gender in science fiction and fantasy. Please note all the teen books on the list--several of which were on my favorite reads of 2011 list!
The 2011 Tiptree Award Winner is: Redwood and Wildfire by Andrea Hairston (Aqueduct Press, 2011)
The Honor List includes:
Founded in 1996, the Orange Prize for Fiction recognizes women writing in English throughout the world. The longlist was recently announced, coinciding with International Women's Day.
The prize celebrates excellence, originality, and accessibility in women's writing. Celebrate Women's History Month by checking out some of these outstanding novelists!
The Audie Awards recognize distinction in audiobooks and spoken word performance, and are presented by the Audio Publishers Association. Here are some of the 2012 nominees owned by DPL:
Bossypants, Tina Fey, narrated by Tina Fey (Biography/Memoir, Humor)

The Horror Writers Association has presented the Bram Stoker Award annually since 1988. This year marks the first time that the genres of Young Adult Fiction and Graphic Novels have been added to the awards list. If you love Horror and/or Young Adults books, these 5 nominees are sure to thrill you!
Nominated for Superior Achievement in a Young Adult Novel:
Most folks have at least heard of the Newbery and Printz Awards, given by the American Library Association, and commonly used when teens are wondering what to read next. But what about other awards?
How about ones specific to genre fiction? Here are some awards lists you might not have thought to look for your next teen read. Of course, these books are great for adults, too!
Many of the adult book awards include a subcategory for teen books. This is the recently announced Andre Norton Award Shortlist for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy (part of the Nebula Awards):
Green Valley Ranch Branch named Colorado Library of the Year and the Central Library Renovation named Colorado Project of the Year!
On October 14, 2011 the Denver Public Library accepted two top awards from the Colorado Association of Libraries (CAL) at the statewide association's annual conference.
The 2011 Hugo Award winner for Best Novel happens to be one of my favorite writers, Colorado author Connie Willis.
Many people may see Willis' books in the science fiction section, winning science fiction awards, and immediately think that those books are not for them. I urge you to reconsider.
The 2011 James Beard Book Awards were recently announced. You may know of the James Beard Awards for chefs. While often those award winners are far away (with restaurants hard to get reservations at!), many of the cookbook award winners are available in the library.

'Spring Breakers' Trailer Treats Bikini-Clad Crime Like a Video Game
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 17, 2013 | Comments (2)There's finally a trailer for Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, proving that it wasn't just an elaborate hoax to turn paparazzi-style beach photos into a development story while watching media outlets figure out the best way to talk about girls in swimwear as if it was the greatest, sluttiest sin they could ever commit. Of course, since the movie isn't out yet, that's still a possibility. Every film festival audience is in on it. As if we haven't been talking about it since what seems like the original spring break, the film stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Amber Benson and Rachel Korine in a tale of young women looking for excitement, robbing a restaurant, going to jail and getting bailed out by James Franco with a platinum grill. In other words, it's America shoved into a projector, and it's a good thing the full trailer is finally here because it does more to make the movie look exciting than any of the faux-titillating screen shots could:
Fantastic Review: Drones
Fantastic Fest By Neil Miller on September 26, 2010 | Be the First To CommentIt would make sense that a film co-directed by Amber Benson, known best for her role as Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, would be absolutely adorable. As is true with babies and films alike, adorable human beings create adorable offspring. But there's more to this story — that of the science fiction comedy Drones — more than just the offbeat cuteness of comedy and workplace romance. There's also aliens and Earth-obliterating stakes, wonderfully quirky performances and plenty of epic Power Point presentations. Executed with simplicity and smarts, Drones is just the sort of refreshing fair that makes all of the blood and guts of Fantastic Fest easy to stomach for those of us who lack intestinal fortitude.

All My Sons Lies and Deceit Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Chris: We've made a terrible mistake with Mother… being dishonest with her. That kind of thing always pays off, and now it's paying off Keller: What do you mean, dishonest? Chris: You know Larry's not coming back and I know it. (1.167-69)
A small foreshadowing of the moral positions of both Joe and Chris here. Chris acknowledges a reality but does nothing to address it; Joe pretends it doesn't exist.
Joe: So he takes out his tools and he… covers over the cracks. All right… that's bad, it's wrong, but that's what a little man does. If I could have gone in that day I'd a told him – junk 'em, Steve, we can afford it. (1.481)
This is the opposite of what really happened. When asked for advice, Joe directed Steve to cover the cracks. Now he lies to Ann and Chris with ease. Perhaps he's been telling this story for so long he's begun to believe it himself.
Ann: Don't yell at him. He just wants everybody happy. Keller: [clasps her around the waist] That's my sentiments. Can you stand steak? (1.487-88)
Joe is a socially talented man, usually able to charm away any conflict.

text: This "fast food" place is on the second floor of the Burlington mall. It is the healthiest place in the food court. Not only the lady who distributes samples is friendly and really pleasant to talk to, but the food is excellent. I recommend the smoked salmon crepe (1773) and all the dessert crepes. You cannot go wrong eating there... More

Anyone tried it? Will it cycle the gun? Anyone know of any further testing on this round? Gel tests show it does what it is supposed to with a large energy transfer quickly at the expense of less penetration.
I have to admit that the idea of a light/fast bullet appeals to me along the lines of an AR or FNH Five-seveN concept. I work in a retail store and the idea of having a round that breaks up rapidly on contact and minimizes penetration either to prevent shot through or in the event of a miss and hitting a wall/display rack etc appeals in my setting. For daily outside adventures I still think that HST is my go to.....but in the small confines of a store...this round may be what I default to.
