Gardens by the Bay is a huge, colourful, futuristic park in the bay area of Singapore. The famous Supertree structures offer an impressive skywalk over the gardens, over-sized seashell-shaped greenhouses recreate chilly mountain climates and there are hundreds of trees and plants to discover, making this destination great fun for both kids and adults.
The best place to grasp the size of Gardens by the Bay is from the top of Marina Bay Sands, which sits directly opposite the park, the space encompass 250 acres of reclaimed land on the waterfront. Getting here is easy, either via walkways from the hotel, giving you an elevated view of the gardens, or taking the slightly longer riverside promenade to enter the park near the two domes. Walking around the park won't cost you a cent but if you want to step inside the climate-controlled conservatories, or walk amongst the Supertrees, there is a fee. The main park area is open from 9:00 to 21:00.
There is no doubting the dominance of the steel-framed 'tree' plantation, towering over Gardens by the Bay with 12 of the large metal structures in the central grove and half a dozen others placed in other parts of the garden. Over 200 difference species of plants and flowers cover the exterior of these tall upright gardens and twice a night they are a centrepiece of the gardens' light and music show (at 19:45 and 20:45), casting a glow over the park, and making you feel like you are in a modern fairytale.
For those who like a view, take the trip 25 metres up to the remarkable walkway that connects three of the trees together. For that extra special dining experience, the 50 metre tree at the centre offers food and a view at Supertree by Indochine, with a 360 degree view from the lounge and a tree-top roofless bar.
If you need to cool down, head into Cloud Forest, the smaller shell-shaped building, with a 35 metre high mountain covered in plants that thrive in tropical highlands. Don't worry if climbing feels too much, there is a lift that takes you up into the mist and gives you a great view looking down over the walls of plants and orchids. The Flower Dome is also cooler than outside, recreating the drier climes of places like California and the Mediterranean. In this gigantic conservatory you will find yourself on a journey around the world, with Baobabs from Africa, Olive trees from Spain, Kangaroo Paw from Australia.
A visit to both greenhouses will cost 28 SGD for adults and 15 SGD for children. Inside the Flower Dome you will also find Pollen, a Mediterranean restaurant that creates dishes using herbs and vegetables grown in-house.
If you arrive via the MRT at Bayfront you will first have to walk past the Dragonfly and Kingfisher lakes. If you have enough time, walk along the boardwalk to discover the many birds and insects that have made this area their home. In a nod to the different nationalities that have settled in Singapore over the years, there is a series of four interconnecting gardens with plants and trees from India, China, Malaysia and the Colonial garden. As well as Pollen and the Supertree there is also a host of casual restaurants to try: Cafe Crema offers sandwiches and snacks, Seventh Heaven serves up ice-cream and Verandah is a traditionally inspired black and white bungalow that features an Asian and International inspired menu.
Gardens by the Bay's location makes it an easy getaway from Singapore traffic and skyscrapers, offering a fun space to explore horticulture from around the world, but even better than that, the Supertrees, Cloud Forest and Flower Dome bring plants to life in a way you will have never seen before.

August 29
Here's your Radar Recommendations links for Thursday:
A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy: Friends for Life and Life Without Friends both by Ellen Emerson White: "Even if mystery isn't your cup of tea, you'll enjoy the pop culture references, one liners, the humor. The real characters. Plus, a good plot as Susan risks everything for her best friend. As you can see from what I'm focusing on here, what I like about EEW is what I like about Meg Cabot and Sarah Dessen."
Shaken & Stirred: The Changeover and Catalogue of the Universe, both by Margaret Mahy: "Okay, I don't know about you, but I can't remember the last time I encountered a scene so strange at the beginning of a novel which wasn't strangeness for strangeness' sake. Catalogue's plot follows Angela as she confronts the man she has discovered is her father, and then realizes her true feelings for Tycho (and her mother). It is about the immensity of the universe and finding a place in it anyway."
Big A, little a: A interview with Helen Dunmore: "The coastline is wild and rocky, the sea is often stormy and unpredictable, especially in the part of Cornwall where the books are set. There are high cliffs, rocky coves, and wide sandy beaches for surfing. There are seals, dolphins, basking sharks and countless sea-birds. It is a coast where shipwrecks are common, and many lives are owed to the life-boat service."
Jen Robinson's Book Page: The Treasures of Weatherby by Zilpha Keatley Snyder: "The Treasures of Weatherby has all the ingredients that made the original books so appealing: a mysterious old house filled with interesting treasures (the tower and the library being reminiscent of The Velvet Room), a beguiling girl with secrets, and a hint of what may or may not be supernatural (Can Allegra fly? Does she really hear the voices of ghosts in the house?)."
Bildungsroman: Swollen by Melissa Lion: "Samantha Pallas is that middle girl. She is a part of her high school's cross-country team, which is the best team in school. but there are always girls in front of her, leading the pack, winning the races. She watches her classmates succeed in athletics, in school, in life, as she struggles to find her footing. She yearns to be seen, yet is content to get lost in the quiet. Often, she gets lost with a quiet boy, but even then, it is just for a short time, for an eyeblink, then never seen again, for the duration of a heartbeat, never long enough to have that heart fill with love."
Finding Wonderland: Lucy the Giant by Sherry L. Smith: "What was a whimsical choice in my 'lightning round' at the library turned out to be one of my very favorite books of all time, ever ever."
Miss Erin: A discussion of Erec Rex: The Dragon's Eye and an interview with author Kaza Kingsley: "It's funny, my process seems more to involve eating really yummy organic chocolate bars (love the ones with ginger in them) and sipping good herbal tea, getting in a good frame of mind, maybe meditating first, and just letting go."
Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast: An interview with Nancy Crocker, author of Billie Standish Was Here: "I'd like to be Czar of Names; all U.S. birth certificates would have to be approved by me and I'd have the authority to tell people, "No, you are not going to name your baby that silly-assed crap, you are going to give them a proper name. Now.�
Fuse Number 8: The Noisy Counting Book by Susan Schade: "Sure, Schade could have had the frog say, "Ribbit". Ribbit is standard operating procedure for frogs in children's books. But "Ga-Dunk"... well, shoot. If I were going to rename this book I'd call it "Ga-Dunk" without question. After all, that's the thing the kids love the most. No matter how many tweets or chirps you've done, it's the satisfying "Ga-Dunk" at the end that gets 'em every time. No one can resist it. It's incredibly fun to say."
Chasing Ray: Juniper, Genetian and Rosemary by Pamela Dean
lectitans: Who Pppplugged Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf: "The book takes us back to old Hollywood, where director David O. Selznick is auditioning three actors for the role of Rhett Butler in his musical comedy "Gone with the Wind": Clark Gable, Baby Herman, and Roger Rabbit himself. "
Writing and Ruminating: Hugging the Rock by Susan Taylor Brown: "Much later, in the midst of a chapter/poem entitled The Worst Thing, Rachel and her dad are in a car, discussing some very serious matters, like the whys and wherefores of her mother's behavior. Rachel is nonverbal here, and shrugs. Dad presses on, and Rachel writes "I shrug louder." Talk about your imagery. It's genius."
And Semicolon jumps in too with a look at some overlooked Christian fiction.

Injuries and illnesses in goods-producing and service-producing industries in 2001
December 23, 2002
The incidence rate for injuries and illnesses in goods-producing industries fell from 8.6 per 100 full-time workers in 2000 to 7.9 in 2001.
The incidence rate in service-producing industries remained unchanged between 2000 and 2001 at 5.1 per 100 full-time workers. The incidence rate in goods-producing industries has declined 29 percent since 1995, while the rate in the services-producing industries has dropped 24 percent.
Among goods-producing industries, manufacturing had the highest incidence rate in 2001—8.1 cases per 100 full-time workers. Within the service-producing sector, the highest incidence rate was reported for transportation and public utilities—6.9 cases per 100 full-time workers.
The BLS Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities Program produced these data. Find more information on occupational injuries and illnesses in 2001 in "Workplace Injuries and Illnesses in 2001," news release USDL 02-687.

The descriptions that follow are of the Basic and High-end tests that make up the scores you'll find in our reviews of basic compact digital cameras and High-end cameras which includes SLRs.
All cameras are subject to the 'Basic' tests that follow. Cameras that fit with our criteria for 'High-end' cameras are also put through the High-end tests.
The criteria for a High-end camera are as follows: • Manual override for focus and exposure controls • RAW format recording (to allow you more control over the image once it's taken) • Manual white balance control • Hot shoe for an external flash
Although the two tests share a number of elements, the weighting for each test (Basic and High-end) is different and it isn't possible to compare scores from one test to the other directly. However, a score of 70% or more is considered a good score and anything less than 40% is a poor score.
In each test description there's a run down of all the basic functions or features we appraise and how we decide what it will score in each category. Before any actual testing begins, we do an exhaustive list of each cameras features and specifications. For the most part we don't rely on manufacturers specifications. For example, we take measurements that include all protruding parts when the camera is off and weigh them with their memory, batteries and neck straps etc. that come as standard. Manufactures specifications often leave these sorts of things out, but our intention is to try to give you information that relates to actual use. All computer related tests are performed on an up to date PC with Microsoft WIN XP Professional SP3 operating system. The five monitors used are profiled and calibrated EIZO ColorEdge CG21 or EIZO S2433W and both monitors and video cards are adjusted to sRGB colour space.
In order to compare the test results to those of the previous tests using this method, in all relevant tests, especially those where a subjective score is given (for example the outdoor shots), samples from the last test are re-tested in certain aspects and used as anchor for scoring.
Unless otherwise noted, subjective tests are evaluated by five people, among them at least three interested users of cameras who are trained in assessing images. Each panel member has their own monitor to provide best possible viewing conditions.
We hope this article helps to explain why our results sometimes differ from others who rely on an individual opinion to appraise these complex products. See also our digital camera buying guide. Check our article on compact digital camera reviews for more details.

Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner took his hat off at last. And he revealed a £35,000 head of transplanted hair.
The bitchy judge had the new fur put onto his bald patch in an eight hour operation, but it took six weeks for it to start to grow in.
But the vain Australian will have yet more work to do as some of the new hair is already grey.
He told The Sun: "I went through a grieving process, it was very traumatic. I had a bit of a breakdown over it.
"I'm going for a second procedure which will give me back everything I've lost."
There had been much speculation about what was under the hat he insisted on wearing for the whole show until last night's final.
And he admitted the whole experience was a bit odd.
Jason added: "It's a bizarre sensation that feels like spiders on your head. I was absolutely loving it. And I will never lose this hair now!"

Artificial turf is a kind of surface that is made using synthetic fibers that look like natural grass. It is turf that has several applications such as sports grounds where professional teams play. It has also found its way to homes who are installing it to have a green lawn all year round. Seattle home owners and businesses can get it from a leading synthetic grass Seattle supplier and installer.
Man-made turf has several advantages. One is that the lawn or grounds will retain an abundant green color throughout the year whatever the season and the weather. Maintenance is also reduced with no need to water, trim and plant the grass.
Another benefit of artificially made turf is that it can bear very heavy use which is why it is used on professional playing fields. It is also ensures that a sports field is even which is critical. The way the turf is laid out has to be done in line with the standards set by sports governing bodies. Synthetic turf also ensures that playing fields can be used continuously and they can be used in any season or weather.
Artificial turf is also the answer in areas where natural grass can do it for well naturally. It makes a lush green field even in areas that are arid or a house that just does not get enough light for grass to grow.
There are places where maintaining natural grass would be a lot of work and would be very expensive. This is the case in sprawling homes that have a big compound outside and in commercial buildings such as hotels and resorts. Homes where the sick and elderly are taken care of need to have be well maintained with grounds where patients can spend time relaxing. Synthetic turf ensures the compound is a lovely green all year round. Maintaining it is also much less time consuming and expensive than maintaining a natural lawn.
Outdoor recreational facilities that have all types of games also need to remain green all year round. Those that cover a vast area of land such as Disney World have to be maintained with green grounds all year round. Laying artificial turf is the practical way to do this for the thousands of visitors who visit such grounds every year.
Turf comes in different forms. There is the type which can be combined with fibers made of fiber optics directly. This makes the embedding of lighting right into a playing field. The same can be done on airplane runways which lighting being embedded onto artificial landing surfaces. This means air strips can be created even in the most remote of regions and for those who have the resources to own their own private jets.
Artificial turf also makes some decor impossibilities possible. If you live in an apartment building where you do not have your own compound, you can use the turf on an area like your balcony to create a compound. The roof of such buildings can also be turned into a recreational area using synthetic turf. Those in the area can order the best types of turf from the top synthetic grass Seattle company for both commercial and residential needs.
If searching for a reputable company that offers artificial grass Seattle residents can count on our official website. Come and get all the information you need about the best fake grass Seattle has to offer by visiting us today at http://www.syntheticturfnorthwest.com.

Landscape structure can influence demographics of spatially structured populations, particularly less vagile organisms such as amphibians. We examined the influence of agricultural landscape structure on community composition and relative abundance of the 4 most common amphibians in the Southern High Plains of central USA. Amphibian populations were monitored using pitfall traps and drift fence at 16 playa wetlands (8 playas/year) in 1999 and 2000. We quantified landscape structure surrounding each playa via estimating 13 spatial metrics that indexed playa isolation and inter-playa landscape complexity. Multivariate ordination and univariate correlations and regressions indicated that landscape structure was associated with community composition and relative abundance for 2 of the 4 amphibians. Spadefoots (Spea multiplicata, S. bombifrons) generally were positively associated with decreasing inter-playa distance and increasing inter-playa landscape complexity. Great Plains toads (Bufo cognatus) and barred tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum mavortium) usually were negatively associated with spadefoots but not influenced by landscape structure. Composition and relative abundance patterns were related to amphibian body size, which can influence species vagility and perception to landscape permeability. Spatial separation of these species in the multivariate ordination also may have been a consequence of differential competitive ability among species. These results suggest agricultural landscape structure may influence abundance and composition of spatially structured amphibian populations. This also is the first applied documentation that inter-patch landscape complexity can affect intra-patch community composition of amphibians as predicted by metapopulation theory. In the Southern High Plains, landscape complexity is positively associated with agricultural cultivation. Agricultural cultivation increases sedimentation, decreases hydroperiod, alters amphibian community dynamics, and negatively impacts postmetamorphic body size of amphibians in playa wetlands. Thus, conservation efforts should focus on preserving or restoring native landscape structure, hydroperiod, and connectivity among playas to maintain native amphibian populations and historic inter-playa movement.

(KMOV.com) -- Most voters casting their ballots in Tuesday's mayoral primary in St. Louis have already decided which candidate they'll support.
Before they cast their ballots, however, residents will need to check their polling places as many of them have changed.
Director of the St. Louis Board of Elections Mary Wheeler-Jones said about six polling sites have closed since the November election.
Wheeler-Jones says if voters show up at the wrong site, they will simply be re-directed to the correct location.
"Somebody might have gotten there at 5:30 but voting starts at 6," she said. :There have been cases I guess in the presidential, where a couple of polling places say they couldn't find the rosters. We sent people there. We found the rosters. They were just overwhelmed, and just got excited and couldn't find things that were there."
Officials expect around 20-25 percent turnout Tuesday, which would be slightly higher than usual.
Polls open at 6 a.m., and close at 7 p.m.. For information on the races and voting locations click here.

Kolkata Knight Riders stormed into the final of the Indian Premier League on the back of a convincing 28-run win over Kings XI Punjab here Wednesday.
Defending 164 on a slow surface that remained under cover for three days, KKR speedsters Yadav (3/13) and Morkel (2/23) shared five wickets between them, while Piyush Chawla also bowled smartly to restrict Kings XI Punjab to 135/8 in 20 overs and hand KKR a record eighth victory on the trot.
Sent into bat, KKR had posted 163 for eight, riding on in-form opener Robin Uthappa's 30-ball 42.
Uthappa once again laid the foundation with the help of four boundaries and two sixes in his 10th consecutive 40-plus score, to push KKR's total in a rain-interrupted match.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings knocked out defending champions Mumbai Indians at the same venue later in the night to set up a second qualifier against King's XI Punjab. Chennai cruised to a victory target of 174 with seven wickets and eight balls to spare, thanks to unbeaten 54 from Suresh Raina and unbeaten 40 from David Hussey. Earlier, they had restricted Mumbai Indians to 173 for 8, with Lendl Simmons scoring innings highest 67.
KOLKATA: 163 for 8 in 20 overs (Uthappa 42, Pandey 21, Shakib 18, Y Pathan 20; Patel 2-11, Karanveer 3-40)
PUNJAB: 135 for 8 in 20 overs (Vohra 26, Saha 35, Bailey 26; Morkel 2-23, Yadav 3-13)
Result: Kolkata won by 28 runs.
MUMBAI INDIANS: 173 for 8 (Simmons 67, M Hussey 39; Sharma 3-42, Jadeja 2-31)
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS: 176 for 3 in 18.4 overs (Raina 54 not out, D Hussey 40 not out; Harbhajan 2-27)
Result: CSK won by 7 wickets.

I have found a blue jay that has only one tail feather. May have been a cat. Will the tail feathers come back. I have him in a large cage with card board around it. He can jump and hop. Any ideas on what should be done.
The tail feathers will grow back. However it is not a good idea, and is in fact a violation of the migratory bird regulations of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, for you to keep the bird even with the best of intentions. Locate a licensed wildlife rescue or rehabilitation service in your area by contacting your state natural resources agency, a local nature center or audubon chapter or similar resource, to find out what you should do to give the bird the best chance of surviving.

This guy should give paid seminars on parenting.

This guy should give paid seminars on parenting.
Dad teaches kid a lesson via Facebook | Hot Topics | a Chron.com blog
I saw this last night and was cracking up. All kids (heck, all people) are spoiled and selfish to varying degrees, but this kid (she has a CLEANING LADY?!) sounds like a real piece of work. I hope Dad sticks to his guns (no pun intended) and keeps his darling daughter completely out of the digital world until such time as she can afford her own computer, internet, and so on.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
I wonder if he put the laptop back in the carry case and put it back in her room so she could discover it.
I love this! He has my vote!

There's still hope. Thank God not every parent is obsessed with nurturing every desire and whim of their child, so as to not stifle their dreams and wishes.
'Clinging to my guns and religion
I got a kick out of it. I'm going to start a thread on child hood punishments that you learned well from.
It looks like Dad has a temper. I wonder where his daughter got hers from.
If you don't take the time to make them behave at 4 then they are not going to respect you at 14. Killing a laptop seems a little over the top to me but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I hope it works but I that doubt it will.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wha...........,O.K somebody tell me,how!!!,he gets a 1911 to run "Exploding Hollowpoints" without a failure.
Oops, I just (re-)posted this. Feel free to dump mine.
Another possible source of his kid's anger/angst is that she is a child of a divorce.

I saw this on my Face Book page today. The guy was really torqued up to say the least. His daughter must be a real jackass thinking how "bad" she has it at home. Time will tell when she gets out into the real world with that "attitude" and see just how much society cares about her. Trust me, it doesn't.
Did he go over the top? Pehaps a bit, does make him look a bit like a looney although I'm not so sure I wouldn't have done something like that myself. At least he didn't go and put a smack down on her physically.
He should have gotten Tom Knapp to toss it into the air, then disintegrate it with a 12 guage. Now THAT would have been worth watching.

The original post is pretty stupid. He's just a dude who got pissed off at his bratty kid. He can do whatever he wants, but it's not some spectacular thing.

'Invisible killer' stunts Guate's youth.
part, Guatemalan health officials say they have never worked so closely with U.S. agencies.
"It's the first time that U.S. agencies sat at a table with the Ministry of Health to jointly plan" health strategies, said Dr. Edgar Gonzalez, who is heading GHI efforts for the Ministry of Health.
The initiative faces challenging obstacles. The percentage of Guatemala's total population that is chronically malnourished has barely budged for more than a decade, despite efforts to reduce it. Guatemala is in many respects a tale of two countries. It is ranked 13th among the nations with the greatest level of income inequality, according to the United Nations Development Program. A semi-feudal society, 2 percent of the population owns about 70 percent of productive land. And though Guatemala's average per capita income is $2,700, half of its 14 million residents live on less than $2 a day.
Most of the poor work as sharecroppers and are vulnerable to effects of global warming and natural disasters. As one of the top 10 countries most affected by both, Guatemala over the past two years experienced the heaviest rains in decades and severe drought as global food prices increased and remittances from the U.S. dropped.
Moreover, Guatemala's notoriously weak government hasn't made many inroads in addressing the problem, partly owing to one of the lowest tax collection rates in the world and a history of corruption. The impending presidential elections will likely overhaul government for the fourth time since 1996 making continuity in programs yet another challenge.
The plight of the Mayans
Most affected by malnutrition are the Mayans, who make up 40 percent of the country and have twice the rate of stunting of the non-indigenous. All poor health indicators basically double among the indigenous. They have lived in entrenched exclusion for decades, since before a leftist government effort at social reform, particularly land redistribution, sparked a U.S.-backed military coup in 1954 and catapulted the country into decades of civil war. More than 200,000, the majority indigenous civilians, were killed in one of Latin America's most violent armed conflicts.
The 1996 peace accords made some advances, but more than 70 percent of Mayans continue to live in poverty. Many are geographically isolated, pushed into remote areas either fleeing persecution or seeking space to farm. They predominantly speak one of 24 Mayan languages. High illiteracy rates and traditional Mayan beliefs further complicate health efforts.
El Quiche is one of Guatemala's poorest and most populous states, indelibly stained by the civil war. Of the indigenous civilians killed during the civil war, eighty-three percent of all identifiable victims were Mayans from this mountainous region. There's only one factory here and, as one of the most food insecure regions in the country, agricultural yields are slim.
Seventy percent of children under five are chronically malnourished. Families migrate between the sugar and coffee harvest seasons to survive, but the economic crisis has meant less work. It is here that USAID, through its implementing partner Save the Children, has overseen a promising program in combating malnutrition. Similar efforts are occurring across the Western Highlands.
Faced with finite resources, protein and vegetable consumption is virtually non-existent among Mayan families. More than a fifth of all Guatemalan pregnant mothers have anemia, which is caused by a lack of iron and increases the risk of hemorrhage and the chances that infants will be born underweight and suffer cognitive impairment.
For years, aid workers concentrated mainly on food distribution and still, in Quiche, a majority of families receive donated beans and rice to help them survive.
In 2006, Save the Children surveyed their target communities here and found, to their surprise, that they didn't recognize malnutrition as a problem. Their concerns were a new road or clean water, a school. This is a national phenomenon. In a study conducted last year, less than 1 percent of Guatemalans, who tend to believe they're naturally short, identified malnutrition as a concern. Stunting, however, is not genetic. A World Bank study found Mayans in southern Mexico are taller than in Guatemala. Those raised in the United States reach normal heights.
In Quiche, Save the Children devised a strategy to tackle chronic malnutrition on a broader scale: education on what foods to eat, assistance with providing those foods, and most

Ten Most Annoying Drunk Dudes You Meet at a Bar
Illustrations by Serena Dominguez
No question, we here at the County Grind like to have a good time, have some laughs, and enjoy a few libations. Doesn't everybody? But sometimes we can get a little carried away in our merriments: One drink leads to another leads to a thousand.
Ever had a night like that? Ever been the sloppy drunk at the bar? Ever been 86'd from your favorite watering hole?
Sure there are those happy-go-lucky, life-of-the-party, shitfaced folks, but most of the time, an overly inebriated person just proves a public nuisance. You want to avoid those annoying boozers at any cost, so we're here to help.
What follows is a handy guide to help determine what kind of drunk dudes to avoid at the bar. Or, more realistically, the kind of drunk you don't want to become after imbibing entirely too much alcohol.
Illustrations by Serena Dominguez
10. The 'Roid Rage Gorilla
These muscleheads go to the bar for one thing and one thing only: to punch in some guy's face. Sure, there are fleeting moments when these swoll gorilla-heads chase tail, but the chance to pound their fist into another douche's mug always takes priority.
Whether it be an off glance or an accidental bump, the 'Roid Rager's temper is always on the verge of erupting. Stay clear of these anger-mongers; they're looking for any reason to explode.
Illustrations by Serena Dominguez
9. The Sad Sap
After a few drinks, it's all doom and gloom for this miserable guy. Sit next to one of these melancholic fellows and you might succumb to his bleakness. Nothing ruins a great night out more than some downer complaining about how his ex-wife left him, how his friends hate him, how the government blows, about that time he tried to sign up for Obamacare but the website crashed, how his life has no meaning, how cheesy the music at the bar is, how he should have finished those last three college credits... And that's all in one conversation.
Keep the razor blades (and Smiths tunes) away, and escape as soon as possible.

Animal Rights Group Asks Miss Florida USA Contestants to Donate Fur "Prizes"
Categories: Broward News, Politics
C. Stiles |
That's what the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida was thinking when members emailed more than 60 Miss Florida pageant contestants and asked, if they won, if they'd be willing to donate the fur-coat portion of the "prize."
"Giving away a fur coat down here is like giving a fur coat in Hawaii," said ARFF communications director Don Anthony. "And that's not even talking about how cruel and disgusting the fur industry is."
Tara Nieuwesteeg |
Amanda Burk, a project coordinator for ARFF, personally emailed the Miss Florida USA contestants, asking if they would donate any fur given to them. There are several groups that cut up donated fur coats and use the fur to warm and rehabilitate injured animals.
Burk says she got only one response: a recent high school graduate from Okeechobee who replied, "EAT BEEF."
ARFF also organized a protest of the Miss Florida USA pageant this weekend in Davie. Protesters stood a few hundred feet from the auditorium door with signs showing the gruesome results of the fur industry.
Many of the people passing the signs on the way into the pageant honked, waved, and gave a thumbs-up. A few audience members said they had no idea fur was even one of the awards and looked dismayed to learn the news.
Tara Nieuwesteeg |
It was weird.
Not long into the one-hour protest, a pack of golf-cart-driving security guards approached the group and demanded they move out of the shade where they were standing. They refused. More security guards approached. Still no movement. Eventually, two Davie police officers were called to the scene.
When they arrived, Burk showed the officers emails showing that the group was given permission to protest, and the police decided the protesters didn't have to move. They even stayed, talking politely, until the protest was over.
You can see more photos from the protest here.

The other afternoon when my buddy Bob dropped by to talk ice fishing, well there wasn't much to talk about. Warm weather in the region had all but crushed any chances of my buddies and I getting together for a New Year's Day ice-fishing trip. Then Bob suggested that he make a couple of phone calls and invite our hunting buddies to his house for a little archery practice. |

Through collaborative partnerships with Monadnock State Park, The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, The Monadnock Advisory Commission, and the Town of Jaffrey, the MERE Project ultimately seeks to promote informed use and foster appreciation of Mount Monadnock through ecological research, monitoring, and educational outreach.
To accomplish this mission we will work to:
- Conduct ecological research that will be used to inform citizens and scientists of the current ecology of Mount Monadnock and the effects and progression of climate change.
- Provide education and opportunities for the public to engage in meaningful and influential environmental stewardship behaviors.
- Support and enhance the efforts of organizations that manage Mount Monadnock's ecosystems to ensure that both the spirit and ecology of the mountain are preserved for future generations to enjoy and learn from.

This is not a particularly deep thread, but it seems to me that the prevalence of 'Atheism' with a capital 'A' is growing. 'Atheism' is a common noun, not a proper noun, so in English it should not normally be capitalized (unless it is at the beginning of a sentence). However, for a time I used to hear people referring to 'Big A Atheism' implying additional values ascribed to the term beyond mere lack of belief.
For those who capitalize, is this just just an odd typing habit, or are you implying something by writing 'Atheism' instead of 'atheism'? If the latter, what is your intended meaning?
For the record, I doesn't matter to me that people use one over the other; it's just a point of curiosity as to why. Personally, I prefer it as a common noun indicating nothing more than one very simple statement of disbelief in deities.
That isn't reductio absurdum. I am explaining why it wasn't addressed, not why it wasn't relevant. I added further explanation as to why it is an irrelevant question.
Semantics - if you don't want to address it then our exchange is done.
It's not semantics. Twice you have impugned me in this thread in that I was being evasive and in employing a logical fallacy to score a point. I'm no saint, but if you're going to say such things they might as well be true.
@MikeLong Absolutely a capital S, in honour of the alcohol it was named after *)
In English, we capitalize proper names even of fictitious or mythological personas. Elmer Fudd, Betty Crocker, Shiva, Dick Tracy, Hercules, Odin. However, the word "atheist" is just an ordinary noun like "plumber," "cat," "cook," "policeman," or "clerk."
I still believe that capitalizing "Atheist" just gives the theists an arguing point, even if it is a stupid one.
And I like arguing with them.
If they try using it on the Spoonheim Buzzsaw well that's a bonus.
Problem is they'll go to some credulous person and use it on them, and maybe convince them that atheism is a religion.
Atheism is anything but common. The question that also could be asked is why write xian instead of christian or Christian. Lack of respect. The English language changes all the time, new words come into being all the time, The English language is not a static item, the same with spelling, just not static.
I always use Atheist, always with a capital, it is my protest, and I don't give a fig that xians call it a religion - just one of the many furphies they love to extoll. Makes no difference to me.
A furphy, also commonly spelled furfie, is Australian slang for a rumour,or an erroneous or improbable story.
"I always use Atheist, always with a capital, it is my protest"
I like that
There is a grammatical reason for capitalizing "Christianity." "Christ" is a proper name, like "Elmer Fudd." You can capitalize "Atheist" if you like, though you'd have a fight on your hands getting it past a professional editor. It's no more a proper name than "taxpayer."
There actually a non-disrespectful reason for "xian," because "x" is the first letter of "Christ" in greek.

For me this is a very moisturizing shampoo- it kind of has a gel like consistency and reminds me of bee propolis. The lather is thick and velvety and makes my hair nourished and strong. However for moisturizing shampoos I have found Phyto to be better.

This is definitely not good for dry hair. It makes my hair completely matted when I wash it out, and I find I have to use a lot more conditioner just to be able to run my fingers through my hair and calm it down.
I hate to be so wasteful, but I can't even finish the bottle, as it's just killing my hair and making me use a lot more conditioner. I didn't give it a "1" because it says it's for color-treated hair and mine is currently not, but I can assure you it's not "nourishing" in the least!

Some of my comments will repeat what others have said about this shampoo-the smell is strong and lathering is minimal. I find if I apply it to completely drenched hair, it's easier to manipulate. I have to counter what others are experiencing. I have colored, fine, dry at the ends shoulder-length hair and I find it leaves my hair dry and flat. If I didn't apply a conditioner, my hair would look like straw. I've tried this for over a month because I wanted to give it a chance and because I always lean to natural products but I'm giving up on it. The only positive is that my color stands out more. For those mentioning the expensiveness of this product, please check out vitacost.com for great prices on this line and others.

(For reference: I have colored [dark], fine, flat, wavy hair that's oily at the roots and dry and somewhat frizzy at the ends)
I originally was going to get the Honeysuckle Rose shampoo, but my local Vitamin Shoppe was sold out of it, so I picked this up instead. I'm definitely glad I did!
Although other reviewers had mentioned the gel-like consistency, I was still surprised how, well, very gel-like it was. I thought it was a bit off-putting at first, and it didn't lather much. I really had to work to make sure my hair was covered.
The smell wasn't bad (in fact, I rather liked it), but I can definitely see where others would find it as an, er, 'old-lady' rose smell. It seemed to fade pretty quickly, anyway.
It definitely was much more pricey than I'm used to, however, I'd rather pay a bit more for a wonderful, natural, shampoo than shell out more money for cheaper brands that I'm constantly changing.
I used this in conjunction with the Honeysuckle Rose conditioner, and I'm going to stick with this combo (especially since others have said that the Honeysuckle Rose shampoo is much more drying). This will definitely be a staple in my shower!

This is a fantastic shampoo, lately I've been using only organic shampoos and I had a hard time getting used to the lack of lather and this feeling that the shampoo just dosen't cling to the hair...this rose shampoo almost made me feel that I am using a chemical shampoo in a good way...it lathers quite well, it has a thicker texture (almost like a jelly, sometimes I do loose bits in the shower), so really it is easier to use then most organic shampoos and it leaves my hair feeling nice, not tangled and striped. The scent is very clean and subtle, maybe the conditioner smells more like roses, but I bought the honeysuckle one because it was less expensive (and that one does smell very strong, but I don't mind). My hair is fine, colored and dry. The shampoo leaves it clean, shiny and nervous, not flat or limp. It also does a good job at moisturizing my hair, but for this I also rely on the conditioner. It is a bit pricey, but I see myself buying this again and again. I have to give it a bit more time, but I think I like this best compared to similar price organic haircare, like the new Weleda range or A'kin.
Update: hair is such a mystery lol! I used to like this very much when I was living in Liverpool, but now I moved to Rome which visibly has different water (I would say softer, because my hair in average looks better here with less efforts, but I might be wrong) and the shampoo just does not work the same. I get the feeling I have to use a huge amount to get my scalp clean. On a high note, now the A'kin Ylang shampoo works perfectly here, while in Liverpool it seemed a bit drying. Also I lost a good part of the Aubrey shampoo while transporting the bottle on a trip, so packing is not worth much(spills).

The shampoo is nice and thick, lathers well, and the smell is not overpowering. My hair looked wonderful and bouncy again! I am sticking with this brand.

I am really liking this Aubrey Shampoo. I have used the honeysuckle rose one in the past because I liked the scent; but I always felt that it was too drying on my hair. The Rosa Mosqueta shampoo is not drying at all. It is a thicker formula and lathers better. I love the smell and it cleans gently and leaves my hair shiny but not stripped.

Again, I really like the scent of Aubrey's "Rosa Mosqueta" line and the results this product achieves. I have fine short hair (cut in a twenties' bob) and I dilute 10ml of this shampoo with 90ml water, wet my hair, distribute the mixture on the scalp and lather it. Then I rinse it out and continue my regular hair regime - voilà, perfectly shiny and healthy hair! A little goes a long way, the shampoo contains mild tensides and doesn't produce a lot of foam, but it still cleanses sufficiently without stripping the hair of its natural moisture. The only disadvantage is that it's a bit pricey here in Germany (around 17) - minus one lipstick in the overall rating.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium Eyes: Hazel
This is a wierd shampoo. No lather and it comes out of the bottle more like thick hair gel than a regular shampoo. I actually bought a scalp brush to help work it into my hair because I just couldn't feel it while I'm shampooing. It also smells sooo strongly like an old lady musty rose fragrance! It's formulated for color-treated hair but I can't tell that it protects my hair any better than other products because I was at the beach for a week, which will mess with any color job. On a positive end, it *definitely* cleanses yet never leaves my hair feeling parched and starving for a deep conditioner. Nor does it coat my hair or make it dull/flat when styled. Very wierd. When I use this I'm not needing my deep conditioners as often as when I use regular shampoo. My lower score is based on the funky scent and absolute lack of lather. But, although I just ran out and bought a different formula from Aubrey Organics, I have a feeling I'll be buying this one again.

It would be really interesting
It would be really interesting
Isn't Pokemon all about hitting the road and going on real adventures in the wider world? I definitely would appreciate older characters, but older characters would likely be more anxious to travel, and have more resources and time in which to do it. A stationary setting defeats the purpose of Pokemon.Sorry bout the late response but both these quotes are kinda related so I want to address them both
Who said the school itself had to be any different to schools in our world it makes perfect sense for the school to have no pokemon related classes except biology. I think that would be interesting to people in the pokemon world studying things that aren't pokemon. Besides it doesn't have to be at the school itself much just have the students hang out after school and on weekend talk and have some evil stuff going on but everyone has pokemon. The main point of it being in high school is the setting is stationary and tthe characters are older.
True, not everyone reads fan fiction. But it's not just in fan fiction either. Saying it's all over the place is a bit of a stretch, but I'd say a fair portion of teen fiction has high school as a key feature, albeit not without reason. Pokemon is somewhat (I can't say for certain) unique in its genre because its protagonists move around quite a bit. Why follow the crowd?True but not everyone read fan fiction regularly and the only non rp high school AU's I have any personal experience with are Gothom high scans and Armored adventures. And again it would be different enough if the student aren't learning about pokemon in school. And this is about the idea of an official series so you wouldn't have to worry bout the done wrong thing that much.
I highly doubt any of those would sell. To the public, it'd probably be considered "just another high-school teen thing". To many Pokemon fans--not necessarily a majority--it would be perilously near heresy. Sorry, but no thanks.I think this could really work. They could have a tournament plot a mob plot which would work well with the one city setting romance plot. And they could keep short 15 chapters if it a manga 12 episodes if it's an anime downloadable title rather than a retail title if it a game
Dear god, no! From what I have read on fanfiction.net (it is incredibly hard to find something I like amongst all the poorly-written or smutty garbage) as well as some shoujo anime, a high school AU setting would be a real drag. Yech! I like Pokemon for the adventure, and mostly for the Pokemon themselves.
I can just see the formula they will use if this were to happen: The protaganist is an awkward but very cute girl who owns an equally cute Pokemon (more than likely an Eevee or if they want to make her have a really dependent personality, a Jigglypuff) that probably has more common sense than her. All the guys around her range from level-headed (he will probably be the male protaganist and own an Eevee or a starter), to dorky (they would probably own a rare Pokemon like a Rhyhorn because of the super-nerd thing. I don't fecking know) to angsty-emo (he would own a badass Pokemon like a Gyarados or whatever). Female protaganist will have a rival who owns a girly but fully-evolved Pokemon. There is a love triangle. Pokemon barely get any screen time. The boys fight for the love of the girl. There are girl fights a plenty.
I like Pokemon for its adventure! The characters traveling and meeting new people(and rivals) as well as making new discoveries are what makes the Pokemon anime fun and interesting to watch.
I seen WAY TOO MUCH OF THESE GARBAGE IN FF.NET! As long there is Pocket f-ing MONSTERS, then ok. That's the mistake most High school AU FFs make. No pocket monsters, which is what the series is about. Unless it's about someone training and battling gym leaders while traveling to high schools, then ok?
Whatever. I still think this is a bad idea.
Avatar credit is here.
yea i can see all of those happening...*shudder* of all ofthe other types of HS based anime i can agree that the pokemon will get cast out by all of the people."There is a love triangle. Pokemon barely get any screen time. The boys fight for the love of the girl. There are girl fights a plenty." that right there is a plot for disaster. that is why this should NEVER become in a high school setting to keep the Entire series from going and crashing even more
While I don't think it's impossible for that kind of thing to work (as with most things), a working concept would likely just have serial numbers filed off.
-Firstly, if there are little-no *ahem* pocket monsters, the series probably shouldn't carry the Pokémon name in the title. Too much confusion and too much rabblerousing from fans, who will then call the series "ruined FOREVER" and leave.
-Second... ly, I agree with the idea that the series should include OCs instead of PCs, etc.
Hey, look, it's only two items down and the hypothetical series already has nothing to do with Pokémon! So what do we do now? Well, we could advertise it as a completely separate, original series; the only problem being the unoriginality of spinoff-ish high school setting... things themselves (kinda like what Pantherotter said)... in the end, it's basically a no-win situation. The best option is still, and will probably always be, to read one of the hundreds of high-school AU Pokémon fanfics already available on FF.net.
I ran the now-defunct Claim-a-Move Thread. I also claimed Lightning Strike, Marshtomp, Motor Drive, Magic Guard, and Azure Flute (probably also expired, but who cares, as long as you know that I'm the ruler of everything).
In the 2012 era, I have unfairly won America*'s Warrior Cats Mafia (and a few ones before).
That sounds very different, it would be a nice change of pace to see human characters get more attention than Pokemon, Im thinking that Gamefreak should do it as a side game series.
Oh, and if the trainers could only use Pokemon at a certain time, with the highschool setting, it'd be like Shin Megami Tensei Persona :D
Right when I saw this thread I thought of this:
(From the thread Lost Respect for Pokemon) Pokémon is all about adventures, going to new places and meeting new people while forming close bonds with your Pokémon friends, you can't do that if you're stuck in high school. If Pokémon trainers went to high school it would be all about exams and love triangles instead of the Pokémon. No thanks.
Definitelly not.
I wouldn´t complain about giving humans more social interractions that are not only in terms of talking about battles and rivalry all the time (I have in mind more episodes like Holy matrimony, whose give us backstory of character, but are not Pokémon-centred. Other could give some character developement, which is not neccesary bound with Pokémon and fulfilling one´s ultimate goal). This should be made slightly and not in every second episode, to give the series something new.
But turn it into some kind of usual pathetic high school story would deffinitelly destroy the whole concept of Pokémon.
If I make some stupid grammar mistake, I´m terribly sorry and feel free to correct me.
I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to delve into the personalities and emotions of the human characters in the Pokémon universe. But dumping them into a shoujo-style high school AU isn't the way to do it. As others have mentioned, it completely goes against the grain of what makes Pokémon interesting to begin with.
This is my DeviantArt. Pretty neat, huh?
Jouto Redux
One fan's re-imagining of the Jouto saga
Read Chapter 6 now!
I wouldn't want to see one in a typical American or even typical Japanese high school, because that's been so played-out. But I do think it would be interesting to explore the lives of trainers who go to Pokemon training schools like we occasionally see in the video games and anime, rather than do the "get thrown out into the world at ten" route that the heroes and heroines always go. So I'd like to see a series set in a Pokemon trainer academy or something of that nature.
Hi, I'm Rose. I love music, alcohol, pointless Internet debates and being a snob about my choices in entertainment. I write a lot. You can read some of my writing at Autostraddle.com, the best site for LBTQ women on the Internet, where I am a staff writer. Or the funhouse that is my tumblr. I also write music sometimes, and post the better fruits of my labors on my SoundCloud.
I honestly don't see it working. I can think of two ways it could be executed:
a.) Throw the present characters into a HS setting, with an attempt to keep their personalities intact, but shoujo-ified.Is that possible?As stated in OP.
b.) Construct entirely new characters, then throw into a HS setting.
Keeping in mind that either option would warrant much less screentime for actual pokémon, I don't think either would work. The first option wouldn't because I really don't think their personalities would be interesting in this particular setting. The game characters have always been more about their goals, and it seems to me that this method would shift the focus to romance and dump the actual pokémon (who are obviously the subject of their goals) in the backseat.
The second would fail too. The thing here is that with strangers playing all the parts and the actual pokémon much less seen, this wouldn't even feel like pokémon anymore.
Pokémon has always been more about the connection between trainer and pokémon, and less of trainer and trainer.

Parents in Blanchard are upset and speaking out after the Caddo Parish School Board proposed the closing of one of their schools.
One parent after another echoed each other saying they believe closing down Blanchard Elementary School is not a good decision for their children. In the Caddo Parish Public Schools Vision 2020 plan, the school board proposed that Blanchard Elementary School close their doors and Donnie Bickham Middle School become a K-8 school.
Michelle Schweitzer, who has a son in the eighth grade at Donnie Bickham, is concerned that the school does not have enough classroom space to support students from kindergarten to eighth grade. Blanchard parents got a letter from the elementary school on Wednesday saying that only 11 classrooms are ready at Donnie Bickham, but the consolidation would require 33 classrooms for the students.
One of parents' biggest concerns is having to move their kids from their comfort zone at Blanchard Elementary School to a larger school with older students. If they started off in that environment, then that would be fine, said Lisa Bumgardner, whose third grade daughter goes to Blanchard Elementary. But she believes that since they are not used to having the older students in the same school, the change will be a shock to them. Christine Dungen, whose fourth grade son goes to Blanchard Elementary, added that she is worried the elementary school students will not perform as well in school if they are thrown into this new situation.
Parents hope, by speaking out, they can change the minds of school board members who want to combine more than five Caddo Parish Schools by next year. The proposed plan also includes combining existing Ridgewood with portions of Forest Hill, Summer Grove and Southern Hills, existing Green Oaks with Newton Smith and existing Booker T. Washington with J.S. Clark. This plan would close Newton Smith and J.S. Clark. These school combinations would help make up for district budget problems.
On Wednesday, teachers at the school allowed students to write letters to school board members and form a petition showing their support to keep the school open. Blanchard Elementary School parents scheduled a meeting to discuss the issue at the school for Monday, March 14 at 5 p.m.

Class Consciousness, Power, Identity, and the Motivation to Teach
ANDREW LAMBIRTH, School of Education, University of Greenwich, United Kingdom
pages 209-222 http://dx.doi.org/10.2304/power.2010.2.2.209
This article reports on a small-scale research project that explored the class-consciousness and working-class identities of a small group of student teachers in a university in south-east England. It describes and uses classic Marxist perspectives and sociological theory as an analytical framework to interpret the views of eight student teachers who provide their perspectives in a series of in-depth interviews. It is argued that these student teachers' identities and class experiences have sculpted their motivations to become teachers and that the form of class-consciousness that they exhibit ultimately acts to mould attitudes and perspectives that suit the objectives of twenty-first-century primary education in a capitalist society. Power relations are played out through the struggle between the potential social power that working-class-conscious teachers possess and the forms of professional labour power that are fostered through initial teacher education courses and the habitus from which these students emerge.
