This is a real working radioactivity counter. You only need a BLACK TAPE to cover the lenses !!
Disclaimer: The type of radiation picked up by the camera can be dangerous/detrimental to the user's health as well as cause damage to the device.
Its NOT a JOKE! The App is using the camera sensor to detect radiation, like a geiger mueller counter, of course with a smaller area. We tested several mobile phones at the Helmholtz research facility in Munich, using a professional radiation device in the range of 2-10 µGy/h till 1-10 Gy/h (CS137 and CO60). The CMOS sensors can detect primary gamma radiation and some higher beta radiation (depends on the shieldings in the mobile phone). Typically not going into saturation as most GM tubes. See FAQ on our homepage for what you can measure and how.
PLEASE SEND US FEEDBACK via EMAIL !! We add new devices in short intervals.
Attention: the tape must shield the light completely. Please check with a light source !
On our homepage you find several measurement result for different devices we tested so far. Some are excellent, some not that sensitive.
Feel free to use our table to assign radiation values to our counter measurements when you have the same device.
The real values might differ as sensors can change. There we need your help and the help of the manufactures for a future calibration service.
You can use the contact button in the help menu to provide us with feedback and please use it.
If you need any help, PLEASE send us an email. We have cannot answer the comment section below, so please ask us first on measurment problems. We help as fast as possible. Please contact us on any problems you have with this application! Look at our videos, more are comming soon. Attention: The counts per minute (CPM) for the background noise should be low (increase the noise setting if not). This is camera noise not radiation noise basically. If the radiation increases then also counts from the radiation adds to the CPM values (see our tables for the sensitivity). If you have a phone with 200 CPM for 100 uGy/h then the background noise produces for 100 nGy/h only 0.1 CPM. That means in 10 minutes ONE counts in 100 minute TEN counts adding to the CPM0 (noise of sensor). So you need a LONG time to measure for low radiation values on this device. Attention: AM241 (smoke detectors) only emit ALPHA rays, they get stuck in the plastic of the phones. H3 (tritium - watches etc) are beta emitters with 45 keV. They also get stuck quickly, mainly already in the watches. K40 (KCL for example contains 16 Bq/g) are beta emitters with small amount of gamma (due to positron collisions)- you need also a long integration time to measure them. Same for TH rods (2% Thorium) mainly alpha rays, then beta and some gamma. Very small diameter ! You need a large area to detect them (best GM with mica windows). The CMOS sensor of the camera only has 2mmx2mm.
Good objects are TH lenses (up to 30% TH232), pitchblend (gamma of decay products) and CS137 for checking food which might be contaminated (if larger 1 uSv/h). Don't experiment with radiation sources !!!

What's New
The most important part for the detection of the radioactivity is the camera chip of the smartphone. During the measument absolutely no incident light is allowed for the camera. Therefore the camera lens must be sealed e.g. by a black insulating tape. Of course you can keep the lens shut by your finger, but sometimes a little light shines through the fingers. In this case use at least additionally a cloth to shut the lens.
First calibrate the radioactivity-meter for your smartphone-hardware:
a) Fix the zero point where no radioactivity is caught by the smartphone. The zero point must be fixed at the lowest temperature of all future measurements.
b) Measure the radioactivity at a place, where the current radioactivity is known and assign this known gauge value and its unit to the value, measured by your smartphone to establish a relation between the internal hardware-dependent values of the smartphone and the real absolute quantity of radioactivity. The more exact the calibration and the higher the gauge value, the better the measurement results. From then on your radioactivity-meter is able to indicate the current radioactivity.
Due to the different hardware of the various smartphones we cannot ensure, that Radioactivity-Meter works on all smartphones with sufficient accuracy.
Since Radioactivity-Meter uses statistical algorithms to calculate the stochastic noise processes, the measuring situations should be always as similar as possible to avoid deviations of the metered values: same ambient temperature (without the zero point fixing), same up time of the smartphone, same method for sealing the camera lens etc. For this reason only single measurements are possible, no continuous measurements.
That way you can use your smartphone to determine at least the tendency for the changes of the radioactivity radiation.

Worried about accidental exposure to radioactive material or acts of terrorism? The GammaPix App can provide timely warning of the presence of radioactivity using nothing more than your phone's camera. While it is NOT meant to be a substitute for dedicated ionizing radiation detectors, it is a rapid and convenient way of making preliminary threat estimates.
Unlike the Lite version, this app does not require a network connection to operate. We recommend you run GammaPix while connected from time to time to check for new calibrations.
This is a tool. Various circumstances may compromise the measurement or make the results inaccurate.
New features!
o Real-time mode. Watch the results as a reading is being taken.
o Three-stage mode. Quick warning of danger. A full-length reading to look for lower doses.
o Automatic monitoring for radiation when you're not using the app.
o Use either camera.
o Choice of radiation dose units.
o Faster results
We hope you enjoy using GammaPix!
Automatic monitoring will use ~1% of your battery, but could warn you of radiation even when not using the app.
A 10 to 20-minute initialization is required before you use the application for the first time. We know this step slows you down, but it really is necessary to get the best results. Please perform this step in a place you know is likely to be free of excessive radioactivity, with your device cool and unplugged.
For best results make sure no light is getting into the camera when you run the GammaPix app. Putting the phone in your pocket or covering it with a book works well.
A reading takes about 3 to 5 minutes if there's no danger. Dangerous levels will be reported sooner.
The GammaPix App will not work on some phone models because the camera optimization at low light levels gives "bright" pictures.
Not all phone models have been calibrated. We'll use your readings to provide a calibration for your model. The more you take, the sooner we'll have a calibration.

Very new to this Guzmania - need a bit of help
I have had this Guzmania for about a month.
I bought it pretty much the way it looks in the picture and I have managed not to kill it so far.
I have enjoyed the beautiful flower-like red middle but I know that this will eventually dry up.
I really want to keep this plant going but I am afraid I will mess it up at some point. I also did not understand very clearly whether this plant can bloom again or it will remain green after the center bloom is gone. I have read something about pups but it is not clear to me what I should expect next. I keep the plant at the window in some bright but not direct light (the brightness is not on for long though because the sun doesn't get in through that window for too long). I have a plate with wet pebbles below for increase humidity, I keep water in the center cup and I am careful not to over-water. I really love its dramatic look but I am afraid once the center red is gone I will not be able to have that "flower" again. What do I need to do in the future to get it back to blooming, even this is even possible?
Or do I need to replant "pups"? I have no idea what those are and when I should expect them...but I have read something about side-shoots that will come up and that are called "pups".
Any advice as to how I should continue to take care of this nice plant would be appreciated.
You will have your bloom for a few months yet. After it has faded you can cut the bloom off.
The plant will send up pups around the base. When they are about 3/4 mums size you can either break them off the mum and pot them up individually or cut mum out and have a group of flowers. You will need a bigger pot to do this but it looks very nice. After flowering next time, you will have to pull the pups off as the pot will be too full.
To break the pups off pull downwards or you can use a knife. Cut close to mum as they need a heel to grow from. Guzmanias usually come off fairly easily.
A very open potting mix like your plant is growing now and your plant will be happy.

Fun with roboticsPublished 2:57pm Tuesday, April 9, 2013
"The students have done a wonderful job of creating their robots," said Sharon Fisher, Morgan County 4-H assistant. "But we wanted the teams to have a chance to road test the robots, discover any problems, and get them fixed before they compete with other teams from around the state."
Cotaco student Noah Maxwell said working on the robot has been challenging and fun.
"I like to experiment with things and make the robot do what it's designed to do," he explained. "We got a lot of helpful information from U tube videos and Google."
"It has been frustrating at times and fun at other times," said Alex Walling, a Falkville student. "One of the things we've learned is how to work together as a team."
[nggallery id=1152]
"I've found that robotics has been a good learning experience," added Sierra Goodwin, a Danville student. "I want to go on to college after high school and study engineering."
The middle school robotics program stems from a 4-H science and engineering program teacher Karen Melson implemented at Danville Middle School five years ago," Fisher said. "It's success prompted school officials to offer the program at all middle schools in the Morgan County School System.
While the program is in place at Eva, Lacey's Spring and Sparkman schools, teams at those schools were not ready to compete on a statewide level," Fisher stated.

Can I whine here for a minute?
I am new to gardening, so every little seed is precious. Last year several people from a couple other boards sent seed to me and I was a good girl - I put them all in the fridge so I could plant them this year. The fridge in the garage.
Well, hubby took it upon himself to put the box in the crisper drawer. Well, guess what? The fridge leaked something into the drawer, and when I got them out tonight the ones that were in paper envelopes (about 1/2 a shoebox worth) were wet and moldy! Do you know how many seeds there are in 1/2 a shoe box? I could cry!
The ones that were in little plastic ziplock bags look to be dry and fine.
Gardening is a continuous learning experience. What did I learn from this? I know, when I start collecting seeds to trade, they will be going in little plastic bags - even though they are a little more costly than making my own bags! lol.
Have a great day everyone - and thanks for listening to me whine.
Ladies, I appreciate you!
I saw a church sign just yesterday that said:
This might be a perfect example of that. lol. I read that to keep seeds fresh that couldn't be planted right away - put them in fridge.
dried seeds--optimum storage=in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place; possibly the basement, garage or refrigerator. (I read somewhere that storing seeds near apples is a bad idea, but I can't remember why.) well-dried seeds can even be kept (in an airtight container) in the freezer for longer storage.

The Hasselblad H3DII-50
July 15, 2008 The latest addition to high-end camera specialist Hasselblad's H-Series is the H3DII-50, and yes, the 50 in the camera's model number does refer to 50 megapixels thanks to Kodak's 50 megapixel 36×48mm sensor. This sensor is twice the physical size of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors with Kodak stating that, "at 50 [megapixels] the sensor captures digital images with unprecedented resolution and detail. For instance, with a 50 megapixel camera, in an aerial photo of a field 1-½ miles across, you could detect an object about the size of a small notebook computer (1 foot by 1 foot)." In addition to the increased resolution, the new sensor also provides the foundation for the development of advanced lens performance and optical corrections. Read More

Very intelligent electronic binoculars to use brain activity
One of the most interesting defense projects we've ever seen, is DARPA's Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System program (CT2WS) - an academic and industrial consortium led by Northrop Grumman Corporation has been awarded the first phase of an advanced research contract to develop a panoramic day/night optical system that will use human brain activity to detect, analyze and alert foot-soldiers to possible threats. The first phase will result in a preliminary design for the Human-aided Optical Recognition/Notification of Elusive Threats (HORNET) system. HORNET will utilize a helmet equipped with electro-encephalogram electrodes placed on the scalp to monitor brain activity. The operator's neural responses to potential threats will train the system's algorithms, which will continue to be refined over time so that the warfighter is always presented with items of relevance to his mission (let's hope it is easier to train than a spam filter).

Help Please, Painting a Mirror
I need suggestions on where I should paint more flowers on this mirror or should I finish adding to the bottom and then add a ribbon and more daisies to the top. I've never painted on a mirror before and it isn't as easy as I thought it might be. I've also discovered it's not easy to take a picture of without a back ground. Thanks in advance for all your help.
Your mirror is very pretty. I thought you might like this website. She paints on mirrors and a lot of other things. Try www.catherinerisirosepaintings.com. I know, a very long web address. It was hard for me to type it out the first time I tried - Catherine Risi Rose Paintings.
Anyway, she paints beautiful roses but seems to use only a limited palette. I know Luvs will love this site.
I love the flowers painted on mirrors but have yet to do one. You have inspired me to at least try.
I like what your doing. I don't know if I'd even add any more flowers. Sometimes you can over do it. But give it a try. I guess you can always remove it. I've never painted on a mirror either so I'm not sure how permanent it is? Does it wash off when you clean the mirror? Do you use special paints? Gail
Because of your design placement (sort of bottom center) and the size of the design I would add a small fine flowing ribbon or vine either around the entire outside edges of the mirror or add the same just to all 4 corners to pull it all together and bring some balance.
I believe in using the right paint for the right surface. I would recommend acrylic enamels for mirrors. Enamels are made to be permanent on surfaces such as glass and tile and on a mirror they would also be permanent.
Good luck on finishing your project and be sure to share a finished pic! :-)
Wow! I love that site, she paints amazing roses! Thanks for sharing that with us PF.
Phonegirl, it looks like you have gotten lots of great suggestions here. What you've done so far looks really nice, be sure and remember to show us the finished piece, okay?
B, Thanks for the web site. She does a great job but her projects are fuller than my preference. With looking at that and the suggestions from Kraftymom I think I can move forward and see what happens. The pattern is only a 1/4" difference from side to side. It appeared more, apparently because of the pattern or way the photo was taken. Thanks, I'll show all of u the ending results.

Titans, Chargers bracing for hard-hitting rematch
If the regular-season meeting between the Titans and Chargers was any indication, Sunday's wild-card rematch will be full of hard hits and high drama, writes John Clayton.
The Dec. 9 game between the Titans and Chargers slipped below the radar for obvious reasons.
On the main stage were the Steelers and Patriots. Going for the unbeaten regular season, the Patriots first had to worry about the Steelers, who were 9-3 and trying to make a case for being the No. 3 seed in the AFC. Many viewed the Steelers as the last regular-season hope to stop Bill Belichick. They didn't. The Pats won 34-13.
The better game was in Nashville, Tenn. The Titans and Chargers slugged it out into overtime before LaDainian Tomlinson gave San Diego a 23-17 victory with a 16-yard touchdown run. It was the most physical game of the season, punctuated by linebacker Shawne Merriman, who popped Vince Young toward the end of a play when the Titans' quarterback wasn't looking.

|Vs. Playoff Teams
|Vs. Nonplayoff Teams
Tension was building as the game progressed. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers took a shot to the knee from a defensive lineman and limped to the sidelines before falling down near his teammates. Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was unblockable. He either threw blockers aside or split two defenders with power moves to the inside.
The best story involved Merriman. Because Merriman hit Young, the Titans felt they needed to answer back. Titans tight end Ben Hartsock, who lined up at first as an outside receiver, motioned inside and slammed Merriman with a legal crackback block. Later, Merriman said the Titans had a bounty on him. The league investigated to no avail, but did fine a couple of Titans for overly aggressive hits.
Titans players call Sunday's playoff game (4:30 p.m. ET, CBS) more a grudge match than a rematch. We call it the best game of the NFL's Wild Card Weekend. These are two heavyweights fueled by adrenaline in a sudden-death format. It's the NFL's version of "Smackdown."
And the Chargers might be better equipped to handle it.
To make the playoffs, the Titans had to play a physical game against the Colts in Week 17. Young reinjured his quad, and although he should play, he may not be as mobile as normal. The quad has bothered him most of the season. In addition, center Kevin Mawae can't shake a nagging calf injury, and Haynesworth has been fighting through a hamstring problem.
Overall, the Titans look more tired than the Chargers, and rightfully so. Because the Chargers ran away with the AFC West, coach Norv Turner was able to rest ailing players over the final weeks of the season. Nose tackle Jamal Williams had a chance to rest his sore knee. When injured players had some doubts, Turner was able to keep them off the field.
Sunday's game figures to be just as physical as the teams' regular-season meeting. Players remember some of the battles in the game, which included lots of pushing and shoving after plays.
This fight deserves the main stage.
Interesting preparation plans: The Redskins have lost five starters for the season with injuries or misfortune. During a 21-day stretch in which the Redskins played four games, coach Joe Gibbs started giving his players more rest. It resulted in fresher minds and better play, and the Redskins won their final four games. During this week's preparation for Saturday's first-round game against the Seahawks (4:30 p.m. ET, NBC), Gibbs had walkthroughs until Thursday, giving the Skins only one day of pure work.
Because Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren didn't have the pressure of making the playoffs in the final two weeks, he was able to rest injured starters when necessary. Nevertheless, Holmgren had the Seahawks on the practice field Tuesday, a day earlier than most of the teams in the first round. It's understandable. Holmgren wanted to work on timing and get his passing game in sync and he needed to time up his blitzes.
Getting a handle on quarterback situations: The Redskins and Seahawks have quarterback injuries. Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell is out with a knee injury, but that's OK. Todd Collins has been on fire as his replacement and comes into Qwest Field with a lot of confidence. He efficiently runs the passing offense and has the running attack clicking with Clinton Portis. Because Collins is less mobile than Campbell, Gibbs will have to put in more maximum-protection blocking packages against the Seahawks' solid pass rush. The Redskins may often send only three pass-catchers into routes.Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck isn't on the injury report, but he hurt his right wrist in Week 17. He had to ice it down and there was concern early in the week about swelling. He hasn't missed practice, but with the conditions expected to be chilly and wet, he might have some difficulty gripping the football if he takes a hit to the wrist.
Fixing problems: The Steelers' defense spent the week working on fundamentals. On Dec. 16 in Pittsburgh, the Jaguars ran for 224 yards and beat the Steelers 29-22. Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau has stressed to his players the importance of staying in their gaps and flowing to the ball, and getting several defenders around Jacksonville backs Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew.The loss of defensive end Aaron Smith (torn biceps) has been devastating to the Steelers' defense. But this is a talented, experienced unit that prides itself on stopping the run. With the Steelers focusing so much energy on stopping Taylor and Jones-Drew, the game could come down to Jaguars QB David Garrard's ability to make big plays.
Home-field advantage: Taylor called for the Steelers to replace the bad sod at Heinz Field. Where have you been, Fred? That has been a debate all season, and the field has been a disaster since sod was installed (and subsequently torn apart) before a Monday night game in Week 12. During the offseason, the Steelers must decide whether to stay with a grass field or go to artificial turf.The loss of RB Willie Parker (broken leg) has taken the explosiveness away from the Steelers' running attack, but Pittsburgh can manage one more game on this field if Najeh Davenport can wear down the Jaguars. Even though it doesn't always show up in the statistics, the field slows down runners and gives slower linebackers a chance to catch them.
Eli's swagger: Coming off an impressive game against the Patriots in Week 17, Giants quarterback Eli Manning enters the playoffs with a little more confidence than he had the past two years. Running back Brandon Jacobs came out of the season finale healthy, so the Giants should have a one-two punch against the Bucs.Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin's Cover 2 scheme can confuse a quarterback, and you figure he'll try a few cornerback blitzes with Ronde Barber, who's one of the best in the business in that department. Against the blitz, according to Stats Inc., Manning has completed only 53.8 percent of his passes and had 11 interceptions. He might have some problems with quarterback snaps if center Shaun O'Hara (knee sprain) doesn't play.
Garcia is back: After resting for about 1½ games, Bucs quarterback Jeff Garcia should be at full strength and so should the Bucs. Garcia has been slowed by a back injury, but the Bucs are about as healthy as they could be heading into this game. The key was resting running backs Earnest Graham and Michael Pittman, who should be able to play at full strength. That will be crucial, because Garcia's strength is in operating an effective ground game and managing a short passing attack.
Pressure at the top: Giants coach Tom Coughlin probably doesn't have to beat the Bucs to keep his job, but it would definitely help his long-term prospects. Coughlin has the Giants in the playoffs for the third straight year, and this was the team least likely to be there. Despite a lot of negative sentiment, the Giants extended Coughlin's contract last year. Now they should be talking about a longer extension, but a lot hinges on how well the Giants play Sunday.
Pressure at the top, Part II: With A.J. Smith getting an extension through 2012 as the Chargers' general manager, coach Norv Turner doesn't need to worry about being fired if San Diego loses to the Titans. But no coach has a more defining game this weekend than Turner. For sanity's sake, the Chargers need to win a playoff game to show they are advancing as an elite team in the AFC.The Chargers are loaded with talent. Many consider them to be the most talented team in football. But at some point, they must win a playoff game to be considered successful. Judgments on Turner have been reserved until his first playoff game. If he wins, he's a hero. If not
Weekend for big backs: The NFL has been turning into a passing league, but this weekend could go old-school for some teams with big running backs. The Giants' Jacobs, the Titans' LenDale White, the Steelers' Davenport and the Bucs' Pittman are big backs who can wear down defenses. The trend this season has been to spread the field with receivers and run more finesse offenses, but half the teams in the wild-card round prefer to go old-school and be physical with their running attacks.
Got some thinking to do: The Redskins-Seahawks game will have extra intrigue, with questions surrounding the future of the losing coach. Although it's been an emotionally draining season for Gibbs, most people believe he will return next season. Owner Dan Snyder has a two-year extension waiting for him if he does. Still, if his season ends Saturday, Gibbs will have to take a few days to decide whether he has the desire to continue as the Redskins' coach.Holmgren is in a different spot. He takes a week after each season to decide whether he has the juices to coach another year. No coach takes a playoff loss harder than Holmgren, and a loss Saturday could throw him into retirement mode, depending on how the game goes. He has one year left on his contract at $9 million, and he's healthy and having fun coaching. Don't discount a deep playoff run by the Seahawks and at least one more year for Holmgren. But a tough loss could be devastating for Holmgren and the franchise.

Taylor Swift Defines 'Catitude,' 'Thexy' and Other Internet Slang Terms [VIDEO]
Taylor Swift sat down with MTV to decode Internet hashtags like #catitude and #thexy.
Taylor Swift sat down with MTV to decode Internet hashtags like #catitude and #thexy.
Taylor Swift will be performing Times Square on New Year's Eve and has just been named the New York City Welcome Ambassador.
"I know that I don't have the option of making music that sounds just like what I've done before," Taylor Swift tells PopCrush, talking about what went through her head when making her new album, '1989.' "People will call me out on it. They'll see right through it."
We're giving away a trip to meet Taylor Swift AND see her perform live in London! Get the details here.
Kelly Clarkson is a pretty big hit maker on her own, but who knew she was a Swiftie as well!
Clarkson paid tribute to Taylor Swift's smash hit, 'Shake It Off,' where she performed in Buffalo, New York at an opening for the Microsoft Store at Walden Galleria.
As we get closer and closer to the release of '1989,' Taylor Swift is busy making the rounds, popping by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' for two epic performances and more.
On The Rob's Radio Show with Kat Mykals, we talked about Taylor Swift's new song "Welcome to New York." So, what did we think? Check out the video below!
Undeniable proof that Swifties go hard: An eight-second Taylor Swift song containing nothing but static quickly hit No. 1 on iTunes yesterday.
Taylor Swift's latest track 'Welcome to New York' has leaked, and the fan reactions are priceless.
Swifties, Taylor Swift has just unveiled the opening track on '1989' -- 'Welcome to New York'!
Taylor Swift's love for the culinary arts have been well-documented over the years, as she's often shared photos of making baked goods for co-workers and her fans as well. So it only seems fitting that she teamed up with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to film a 'Shake It Off' spoof titled 'Bake It Off' in an effort to raise money for Stand Up to Cancer.
Who knew we were all so, so wrong about Taylor Swift's cryptic lyrics this entire time.

Kobe Bryant thinks fans shouldn't vote him as an All-Star game starter
01/06/2014 at 6:05 am By Anthony Ramsey
Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant has been voted a starter for the NBA's annual All-Star game 14 times in his 18-year career and is on pace to be voted in again this year, but he thinks fans should cast their votes for a younger player this season. ESPN LA's Ramona Shelbourne has details:
"I really enjoy watching what the younger guys are doing and how they're performing," said Bryant, who was second among Western Conference players in the latest round of All-Star voting. "Even though there's so much respect from me to be able to go out there and play for the fans, I'd much rather see the young guys play in the game because they've obviously put the work in to be in it. I'd much rather go out there and see them participate."
"I probably won't be able to come back soon enough to put my stamp or make my mark on the game, so my advice would be to focus on these younger players, the Damian Lillards of the world, because they're more than deserving to be playing on that weekend."
Kobe has missed 27 games so far this season and only averaged 13.8 points in the six games he did play so he definitely isn't deserving of the votes he's gotten this season, but fans typically vote for their favorite players regardless of performance. Like it or not, lot of the fans who cast tons of votes for starters are more of the casual variety than die hard NBA surveyors.
Lillard is one of the younger players who's more deserving and is averaging over 21 points per game for the Western Conference-leading Trail Blazers, but as of the latest polls Lillard was eighth in fan voting behind other least deserving but more popular players like Bryant and Jeremy Lin.
All-Star voting needs to be fixed, but the game is ultimately for the fans enjoyment. If they want to vote Kobe in that's their prerogative, but the NBA should allow players like Bryant who don't feel worthy of the honor to pass their starting spot on to a more deserving, younger player.

the thing I have heard specifically about sometimes the second healing being worse than the first is this:
that cutting through scar tissue is harder than regular tissue.
and then the idea of simply sustaining an injury twice to the same area would make the area heal ultimately less than after just one.
So in other words- I am healing fairly well- my incision is still annoying and itches and all that- and bothers me sometimes. But as far as it could go it is doing well.
A fear I have is that if I had to have a second c section that the ultimate end result of the healing of the incision and uterus would be significantly worse than it is after this one time. Is that a valid concern? thanks

Book In Advance During School Holidays
This is South Africa's second premier park and is now getting a lot more press and attention. It is very popular during school holidays so book ahead during January and February and during the three week holiday in July.
We got to Kgalagadi thinking that it was way off the beaten path. It is, but not during the school holidays in July. We were lucky to get 5 nights accomodation there and we really wanted 8 nights.
It may be a good idea to make reservations way in advance if you definately know the dates you wish to visit the park.

Watch your speed in Kgalagadi
The roads are really bad here. The roads are all dirt roads and have patches of sandy spots that can cause you to wreck if you are speeding. Sometimes you hit nice spots of road that used to be paved and you can get the confidence to drive a bit faster and then you hit pure sand and it really grabs your tires and you loose control.
The speed limit is 40km/h for your safety and the animals. Also, speeding above 40km/h really stirs up a lot of dust clouds and makes it undesirable for animals and therefore reduces good animal viewing.
Leave plenty of time to get back to camp before sunset. This seems to be the time when people really speed.

Amidst all the depressing events of last week's failed leadership coup in the Northern Territory, there was at least one redeeming feature, at least for constitutional lawyers. Adam Giles' refusal to resign as Chief Minister, despite losing the confidence of the majority of his party room (albeit in a dodgy unofficial meeting), gave rise momentarily to an occasion for exercise of the Administrator's reserve powers.
Chief Minister "elect" Willem Westra van Holthe asserted to the assembled media at Government House that Giles' refusal to sign a resignation letter was just a momentary glitch in his plans to be sworn in as the new Chief Minister by Administrator John Hardie. They would simply need to prepare an "instrument of termination" for the Administrator to sign.
Unfortunately for van Holthe and his majority coup plotters, the Administrator didn't agree. He indicated (no doubt after consulting the Solicitor-General) that it was a matter for the Legislative Assembly. In the circumstances that existed last week, that was clearly the case. The conventions of responsible government indicate that an Administrator/Governor should only exercise his reserve powers by dismissing a Chief Minister/Premier/Prime Minister contrary to the incumbent's advice and appointing a successor in his or her place if it is completely clear that the incumbent has lost the confidence of Parliament and that the claimed successor now enjoys that confidence. Usually that will require the contenders' numbers to be tested on the floor of Parliament. However, what happens if the claimed successor is able to produce clear written evidence that he/she now enjoys the support of a majority of members of Parliament? Wouldn't that be sufficient justification for exercise of the reserve powers?
Of course that wasn't the situation in the Northern Territory last week. Van Holthe had the support of only nine out of the 25 members of the Legislative Assembly i.e. a clear majority of the governing party but not of the Parliament itself. Accordingly, there is no doubt that the Administrator was correct in his interpretation of reserve powers. The only way to resolve the situation was for the contenders to test their support on the floor of the Assembly. The Administrator no doubt would have exercised his reserve power to recall the Legislative Assembly urgently had the CLP Parliamentary Wing not resolved its leadership dispute (in however bizarre manner) a few hours later.
But what if the situation had been that Giles was refusing to resign but it was clear that the other 13 government MLAs supported the claimed successor van Holthe? Could the Administrator properly have terminated Giles' commission and appointed van Holthe without a Parliamentary motion of no confidence? It appears that the question has arisen in several Commonwealth nations with a Westminster system, including Malaysia, India and Fiji. However, the most entertaining example of such a situation is one that occurred in Nigeria. It suggests that the Queen and her advisers do not necessarily regard a no-confidence motion as being an essential requirement for dismissal. The story is recounted by prominent constitutional law academic Anne Twomey:

This is one of a series of three paintings by the artist and is based on the Gulf War of 1991 and donated to the British Red Cross by the artist after the war. Eve Goldsmith studied at Saint Martin's School of Art and later became a writer of novels, short stories and poetry. She has been exhibiting her work since 1948 and is actively working as an artist and writer today. The artist has had many exhibitions in Liverpool, where she lives, and nationally over the years. Her works include oil paintings, drawings, watercolours, sculpture and photography. Her special interest is in the changing light and durability of landscape. In portraiture she aims to capture transience in a sitter's expression, combined with an interpretation of their character. She has made large oil paintings of volatile international events, and has helped raise interest in the activities of Amnesty International and the British Red Cross.

Yellow Daisy-like Weed, help ID please?
This daisy-like weed is growing in the middle of my lawn. I just want to ID it so I know if I want to get rid of it or transplant it into one of my gardens.
Description: The flower looks a little like a daisy, it is all yellow, but is only about 1/2 inch across. The flowers bloom in a small group of 6 or so at the end of a long, mostly leaf-less stem about 16-20 inches tall. The base is a leafy mass with buzz-saw like leaves that grow to about 2 inches long. This plant is growing in a small mass, all clumped together in my lawn.
Here is a link that might be useful: Yellow Weed
Here's one that shows the flower detail. It's a pretty flower, but it's in my lawn!
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Here is a link that might be useful:
Correct, both Senecio plattensis and S.aureus are now Packera plattensis and P.aurea
I beieve the plant is P.aurea -- look at the basal leaves clearly seen on "Yellow weed pt2" link above. Compare them to plattensis/aurea basal leaves (more images could be found under the old name -- Senecio aureus).
My yellow weed is low, daisy-like flowers w/ 7-8 petals. Very short plants. Leaves shiny and similar in shape to violet leaves. Help! They started in my boggy back yard and are overtaking everything! I've dug them up and they have ball-like bulblets growing on the roots.
How can I get rid of them?

Looming off the western coast of Norway, the islands of the "Lofoten Wall" are tall and rugged. Towns like Leknes are tucked wherever there's a flat place. Watch for wooden racks air-drying the bounty of cod from the winter fishery. Artists have flocked here, drawn by the majestic light that sets the peaks aglow. To the south, the tidal currents swirling among the islands sometimes consort to give birth to the legendary maelstrom whirlpool.
