Florida grasshopper sparrows vs. fire ants

Here's One Way To Help The Almost-Extinct Grasshopper Sparrow: Kill Fire Ants
Fire ants are notorious Florida invasives, leaving a trail of painful welts and blisters in their wake. Those pesky exotic intruders also happen to be a serious threat to some of the state's most vulnerable endemic species. This includes the Florida grasshopper sparrow, which recently made the March/April cover of Audubon Magazine as "the most endangered bird in the continental United States."
Conservationists and a state agency are teaming up to destroy populations of predatory fire ants and ideally assist the Florida grasshopper sparrow in the process.
WLRN has previously reported on the plight of the tiny bird which lives only in the dry prairies south of Orlando. It is estimated that fewer than 200 of the birds remain in the wild. Habitat destruction, invasive fire ants, and natural fire suppression number among the reasons for the bird's decline. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service this year rejected a "three-year, $833,000 grant...that would've funded field research on the endangered bird."
The Audubon's Ted Williams (a noted environmental reporter who recently penned a controversial Orlando Sentinel op-ed about feral cats) writes of the bird's remaining habitat in places like the Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park; "Most of this remnant habitat has been degraded by fire suppression and by aliens such as feral hogs and fire ants."
In an interview with WLRN earlier this year, biologist Reed Noss echoed that concern, saying scientists have been unable to determine the full impact of fire ants but that the invasives are known to attack sparrow nestlings. Williams writes; "Fire ants and nesting Florida grasshopper sparrows like the same habitat--the wetter, treeless parts of the prairie...biologist Paul Miller has found broods killed by fire ants."
This spring, Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park (KPPSP) land managers, Friends of KPPSP, and the Audubon, are asking citizen scientists to participate in a plan to attack fire ants living on KPPSP land. A series of prescribed burns are planned for the park. Within a few weeks of the burns, small teams of volunteers will traverse designated routes, recording every visible fire ant mound, and treating it with a pesticide. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reviewed the proposed use of pesticides and "believes it presents negligible if any increased risk to Florida grasshopper sparrows."
Volunteers will be given free overnight camping at the Preserve, plus materials needed to complete the task. Anyone interested in learning more about the plan or signing up to volunteer can contact email@example.com.
In the meantime, here's a short and sweet video of the Florida grasshopper sparrow taken during the Audubon cover shoot:

Study finds a scant amount of the $4 billion pot actually gets to IT R&D
A report released today by a group of leading scientists and engineers said only a "substantial fraction" of the estimated $4 billion federal agencies get for IT research and development actually goes for those purposes.
The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) is a group of people with expertise in science and technology -- including Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt and Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie -- appointed by the president. Its role is to provide the administration with expert independent advice on advanced IT.
The study assesses the status and direction of the federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) program. The program is the primary mechanism by which the government coordinates its unclassified networking and information technology (NIT) research and development (R&D) investments.
Related coverage:
'Sputnik moment': It's 1957 all over again
PCAST found that a "substantial fraction" of the NITRD multi-agency spending specifically represents spending that supports R&D in other fields, rather than spending on R&D on NIT itself. As a result, the report found the country is actually spending far less on networking and IT R&D than the $4 billion-plus indicated in the federal budget.
To provide a scientific basis for its assessment of NITRD, PCAST appointed an expert 14-member working group that consulted with more than 50 individuals, including government officials, industry representatives, and experts from academia.
One reason the funding may never have found its way to the IT areas of high-performance computing, cybersecurity and large-scale networking could be a misinterpretation of what "IT development" actually means. The trend seems to be agencies using IT to advance the research in their own fields, such as souped-up databases, but "not driving the forefront of networking and information technology," Ed Lazowska, a co-chair of the working group, told the Washington Post.
The study calls for a more accurate accounting of this spending and recommends more spending on NITRD, including research in networking and information technology for health, energy and transportation.
"Our world today relies to an astonishing degree on networking and information technology systems, tools and services," PCAST said in a statement. "… it is no exaggeration to say that this field today underpins the nation's prosperity, health and security," the statement continued.
Although high-performance computing remains critical to national security and economic competitiveness, the most widely followed international rankings of HPC system performance are based on metrics that capture only some of the capabilities that are relevant to America's current national priorities, the report indicates. The document also states the United States must not allow disproportionate expenditures for the procurement of supercomputers to displace the fundamental research that will be required to develop "game-changing" future-generation HPC technologies.
This concept draws parallels to the recent surge in "Sputnik moment" references made by President Barack Obama, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Energy Secretary Steven Chu in recent weeks.
"In 1957, just before this college opened, the Soviet Union beat us into space by launching a satellite known as Sputnik," Obama said in a speech at Forsyth Technical Community College in North Carolina on Dec. 6. "And that was a wake-up call that caused the United States to boost our investment in innovation and education – particularly in math and science."
"So 50 years later," he continued, "our generation's Sputnik moment is back."

Any big city resident can attest to the issue of rampant bike thefts — most of us have have experience with at least a wheel being stolen. The only solution up until now been to ride around on a cheap bike, but the Biomega Boston folding bicycle changes all that with a virtually theft-proof design.
The bike, designed by Biomega in collaboration with Puma, integrates a lock within the structure of its frame. If a would-be thief tries to cut the wire, the bike becomes unrideable, but repairable.
Perhaps best of all, the Boston Bike folds up for easy transportation on the go. According to Biomega designer Jens Martin Skibsted, "The main idea was to get the folding function in the mix & still having a cool & simple object. Most folding bikes are kind of dorky. The inspiration to counter balance that came from BMX & Downhill bikes & American bad boy pop culture."
Indeed, the bike is everything an urban cyclist could hope for — slick, portable, and impervious to criminals. Want to check out the Boston Bike in person? Take a trip to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where it remains on permanent display.

This article caught my eye because I ride a folding bike made by Montague Bikes called the "Boston". It's a great bike – full size wheels, single speed, sturdy frame and it still folds! I even take it on the train for part of my commute. Check it out at http://www.montaguebikes.com/boston-folding-single-speed-bike.html

Ack, need quick help with kitchen lighting please!
X-posted in kitchen forum, hoping for a quick response.
Electrician was slotted for 2 more weeks, but we unexpectedly got bumped up the list to tomorrow. He is asking if we know how many dimmer switches we want, so he'll know how many to bring. Ack! I haven't thought this through yet. Can someone help me pretty please?:-)
We have 6 canned lights, 2 pendants above island, 1 pendant above sink, undercabinet lights, and a big chandelier in the eating area. I planned on the chandelier for sure being on a dimmer. Would it be a good idea to put anything else on a dimmer?
Also, are there any particular type of dimmer switches I should request?
Thanks so much!
This sounds like something you might just ask the electrician, since they know what the options are. You can tell him/her how many fixtures you have that you want to be able to dim, where they are, and ask whether more than one can be put on a single switch, if that's what you want, or whether a multi-gang (multiple switch) can be set up so that you can control many lights from one location.
As far as what to dim, I personally wouldn't dim under cabinet lights, mostly I'd focus on overhead and pendant lights.
Hope this helps!

Hi all I'm new to this forum. Has anyone tried Medifast before?
The diet consist of shakes, bars, soups & chili. I thought about trying it but the thought of losing so much weight in a short time and then gaining it back plus more turned me off. The diet promises you'll lose 20lbs in 30 days. Plus it's not cheap,4 weeks cost about $275. What program are you on?
Well I started the new year by writing everything down, then I joined WW, and then a friend of my needed to sell her Jenny Craig food so I bought some of that. Of course that food is only a temporary thing for me. Not only can I not live on JC's food but it's pretty expensive too. So I figure I have 2 more weeks of the food and then go back to WW. Crazy...I know. WW does work...it's like every other diet...if you stick to it, you will lose the weight. I have about 75lbs to go so I'm it for the long haul. Are you working out? I've been doing the treadmill for 2 months now and am getting bored so now I'm going to incorporate weights. Have you lost anything at WW?

The Pulse: Should writers have to reveal their sources?
Welcome to The Pulse, the place to find out what the sports world is thinking. Every day on ESPN.com, SportsNation registers its opinion on a wide range of topics by casting votes and offering opinions. We'll collect the daily highlights and create a running file throughout the week to measure The Pulse of SportsNation on a wide variety of issues. Check this page every day for an update of what the 'Nation is saying.
1. Should writers be forced to reveal their sources?
2. Should a poor relationship with an owner be enough to fire a manager?
3. Which teams will win the top NFL Week 3 battles?
After Fainaru-Wada and Williams refused to cough up names by testifying, they were sentenced to a maximum of 18 months. SportsNation had mixed feelings about who is culpable in this situation:
I think turn-around is fair play. Send those money grubbing fools to jail. This was all about money, sensationalism, and greed, not journalist rights. They made a target out of Barry Bonds because it would sell, bottom line. The judge was absolutely correct to send them to the maximum term possible.
Eric (Los Angeles)
Only in America!!! This ruling is a disgrace. Only in a world turned upside down can two truth seekers be sentenced to jail while the real crimes are being committed by the cheaters who make millions playing a game and disgracing the fans, the record books and themselves in the process. These men should be commended; not punished.
Jake (New Jersey)
Reporters are not lawyers or priests who legally have the right of confidentiality. Maybe baseball and steroids seem a little silly, but the question becomes where do you draw the line? I am sure no one would be objecting if they were holding back sources on a murder trial. If everybody could be immune to questioning just by calling themselves a reporter where would we be?
I think this verdict is incredibly spiteful. As I see it, it's not the reporters that broke the law, it was the person who violated the sanctity of the grand jury. I support these gentlement 100 percent and applaud their willingness to stand by their principles. If any kind of fund is set up to cover their legal costs and/or expenses while they're in jail, I will be making a donation.
Here are some more of SportsNation's thoughts on the situation:
52% Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams should not give up their sources.
59% We will never find out who leaked the Grand Jury testimony of Bonds and others.
85% Bonds committed perjury when he said he didn't knowingly take steroids.
73% Bonds will never be charged with perjury.
As a Cubs fan, I am glad the Marlins are getting rid of Girardi....bring him to Chicago!
Kevin (Manassas)
I wouldn't cry over Girardi, he's going to get another job in no time.
Greg (CT)
If the Fish are dumb enough to let Girardi go, maybe they will trade the Red Sox back Hanley and Sanchez for Beckett and Lowell.
John (Portland, ME)
Is the poor owner/manager relationship in Florida enough to fire Joe Girardi?
73% No
27% Yes
82% Chicago will win in Minnesota
82% Panthers will win 0-2 battle in Tampa
74% Atlanta will ruin Saints' homecoming
71% Indianapolis will stop Jacksonville
70% Bengals will drop Pittsburgh to 1-2
63% Seahawks will knock off the Giants
1. How did the Yankees and Phillies both improve from their trade?
2. Will Justin Morneau beat out Derek Jeter in the AL MVP vote?
3. Will tabloid reports only help U.S. win back the Ryder Cup?
How about that Abreu trade? Helped get the Yankees AND potentially the Phillies into the playoffs.
Jon (Malvern)
Hate to bring all of the MLB fans down but it's going to be a Subway Series again. This time my Mets win in 6!
Pete (NY)
Yes, it's so impressive that the Yankees keep winning with a payroll that DOUBLES any other team in the league, what a shocker they end up winning their division
Greg (Boston)
Let's give props to those Fightin Phils! Tied for the Wild Card Lead. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they beat the Yankees? Then we'd have the A-Fraud and Abreu curses.
Sledge (Bham, AL)
Keith Law is not buying the Phillies' wild card run, but is giving the Yankees credit for their playoff streak, as he stated in chat today:
They're a decent club playing well at the right time, but I don't like their pitching and they have six games left against the Marlins, who are no pushovers and at least at the moment still have something tangible to play for. And yes, I think Hamels will be an effective 3rd/4th starter...but that doesn't mean I think he'll be one right now.
Is it really that special to win your 9th consecutive division title when you consistently have the largest payroll? Shouldn't it be newsworthy if the Yankees DON'T win it?
Mike (St. Louis)
Keith Law: Plenty of teams have spent big money and not won; the Mets, prior to this year, had run some pretty expensive teams out there and had little to show for it. So I think the Yanks deserve credit for getting reasonable returns on so many of their investments, and for starting to churn some talent out of their farm system (Wang, Cano, Cabrera).
Justin Morneau's strong week has vaulted him from 20 percent behind Derek Jeter on Monday, to six percent ahead of the Yankee shortstop today in the SportsNation MVP Tracker. There's a good chance the lead will change hands again in the near future, but it will be a lot of fun watching Morneau and Jeter play it out down the stretch.
Who is your AL MVP?
40% Justin Morneau
34% Derek Jeter
11% David Ortiz
8% Frank Thomas
7% Jermaine Dye
Both Rob Neyer and Keith Law addressed the MVP race in chat:
Do you think Jeter is going win the MVP this year?
Kelvin (New York)
Rob Neyer: I do, though according to Jayson Stark, Morneau's making a late push and might even be the frontrunner.
Not to overestimate the importance of OPS - but how can Jeter, who is 16th in the league and 3rd on his own team in OPS, be the MVP?
Derek (NYC) & Lou (Brooklyn)
Rob Neyer: You're ignoring his basestealing and his other running, and you're ignoring the fact that he plays shortstop. Or at least I think you are. I'm not saying he's the clear-cut choice. I'm saying he's the best choice.
Keith Law: Because OPS is not very useful? It underrates OBP, doesn't consider position, and doesn't include defense. To pick one metric that's handy, Jeter is second in the AL in VORP (Value Over Replacement Player a single measure of offense, taking position into account), behind Hafner (who had a hell of a year, but will miss a lot of PT this month and provides no defensive value).
It doesn't matter what they say to Tiger...Europe will win the Ryder Cup like they always do...has anyone seen our roster?
Shaun (Madison, WI)
Never anger a man of Tiger's means and power and ferocity.
Mark (Chicago)
Tiger will win every match in a blowout, but the U.S. will still lose.
Hende (OH)
ESPN.com golf editor Jason Sobel stopped by chat and offered his insight on how things will play out at the K Club.
If my memory serves me right a fired up Tiger is not a fun Tiger to face, should the European squad be a little worried?
Brian (Madison, WI)
Jason Sobel: That is true, history says Tiger plays better when he's angry. But this isn't like Stephen Ames making comments about TW, then having to play against him. He is only mad at the Dubliner magazine, not any of the European players, so I'm not so sure it will translate on the course.
Jason, which player from the U.S team do you see coming up big as a sleeper pick to do well in both foursomes and singles on Sunday?
Chris (Buffalo, NY)
Jason Sobel: I've been struggling with this one for the last few weeks, but I think I'm sold on J.J. Henry. He's a bit older than some of the other rookies and has more experience. I don't think he'll feel as much pressure as some of the others.
And your prediction is?
JP (Lawrence, KS)
Jason Sobel: I'm taking the United States. Love the fact that they have the Woods/Furyk and Mickelson/DiMarco teams, the course will play to their strengths, the rookies will step up and this is finally the year Tiger puts up 4-5 points.
How far did the Steelers fall in the power rankings?
What is clear, though, is that the Steelers need Big Ben if they're going to repeat as Super Bowl champions. And after being shut out on Monday Night Football in Jacksonville, SportsNation dropped them nine spots in the NFL Power Rankings. In fact, Jacksonville was the only team new to the top 10 this week, jumping from 11th to 6th with the impressive victory. There was only one other notable jump in the rankings - Chicago leapfrogged Baltimore and Seattle, moving from 6th to 3rd. Philadelphia, which was 9th after Week 1, was the only team to fall out of the top 10 after their fourth-quarter (and overtime) meltdown against the Giants.
SportsNation's NFL Top 10
1. Indianapolis Colts
2. Cincinnati Bengals
3. Chicago Bears
4. Seattle Seahawks
5. Baltimore Ravens
6. Jacksonville Jaguars
7. San Diego Chargers
8. Atlanta Falcons
9. New England Patriots
10. Pittsburgh Steelers
Chris Mortensen offered his thoughts on many of the top teams in the 'Nation's top 10 - and the Panthers, who were one of the preseason favorites - and predicted a couple of Sunday's biggest games in chat this morning:
Hey Mort, do you think anyone can stop Chicago if Grossman plays this well all year?
Bryan (Epworth)
Chris Mortensen: Well, you know it's not going to be this easy all year. They have played the Packers and Lions. But if they can run the ball, he will be very effective. I didn't buy into the preseason criticism. We had to see more. That still may be true. Please note that even the elite QBs in this league have about four stinkers per year. But, as you know, that defense can make up for some of those games.
Hey Mort, I keep on reading how the San Diego Chargers have been impressive and are SB contenders, when they have played the Raiders and Titans, and that the Baltimore Ravens, who have played the Raiders and Bucs, are not there yet. What are your thoughts? Thanks. Jay (Burke, VA)
Chris Mortensen: It's early. I thought the Ravens would be a playoff team and the Chargers would be right there, too. The only question I had about the Chargers was whether they would lose some games early in the year because of Philip Rivers' inexperience. They had two easy games. Now they have a bye, then comes the Ravens and Steelers - real tests.
When Steve Smith finally comes back, will he have the same speed and explosiveness? I have trouble believing that he will feel no ill-effects after hurting both hammies.
Chris (DC)
Chris Mortensen: I know that some of our former NFL guys, like Michael Irvin, think it could be an issue all season. I heard he was getting a second opinion this week.
Mort...who do you like in Seattle this weekend, Giants or Seahawks?
Cayne (Federal Way, WA)
Chris Mortensen: I think I like the Giants. Seattle's offense is sputtering the first two weeks and I'm not sure Deion Branch can jump-start it that quickly.
Mortimer...what are your thoughts on the Bengals-Steelers game? Is the Braham injury critical? Will Big Ben (and Co.) score points?
Jeff (Boston)
Chris Mortensen: Yeah, this is a great game. The Bengals are very beat up and losing Rich Braham (their center) hurts. It's amazing how many teams struggle when they lose their center. But, the key probably is Big Ben. He has to be sharper and Willie Parker has to run big again. I probably would give an edge to the Steelers for this one but it's a close call.
Mort - You still like the Bengals representing the AFC in the Super Bowl?
Jake (Cincinnati)
Chris Mortensen: I'd stick with that prediction, yes. But I always preface those picks with, "Of the really good teams in this league, tell me which one will be the healthiest?"
1. Does Oklahoma need to get over their bad breaks in Eugene?
2. How good are the Jaguars?
The Sooners need to stop whining; Stoops better start worrying about Texas in a few weeks.
Justin (Kansas City)
The blown call in the Oregon/OU game has HUGE repercussions on the Sooners' season, recruiting, bowl games, Peterson's Heisman, and much more. If it were "just a game" I would understand, but it is clearly much more than that. The game was over until they handed opportunity after opportunity to Oregon. An apology and one-game suspension is a joke. How do you feel this should be handled? Does the NCAA have a responsibility to step in and correct the error?
Paul (Irvine, CA)
Ivan Maisel: OK, everybody with the pitchforks, line up behind Paul. The officials have been publicly reprimanded, humiliated, suspended and the replay official has received death threats from some very classy OU fans (Actually, most OU fans ARE classy). What else do you want? The NCAA doesn't handle officiating other than to make the rules. The conferences have their own crews.
Hi Ivan! Like all Sooner fans, I've been reading all the articles about the game last Saturday. It was nice to see even Oregon fans acknowledge what happened. The way I understand instant replay is that there's one guy and an assistant reviewing the play. Is this right? If it is, I think there needs to be 3 or 4 people reviewing and the majority rules on the call. Something needs to be changed because OU took one on the chin last year against Texas Tech because the replay didn't have the proper camera angle for the "so-called" winning touchdown. Your thoughts?
Matt (Kansas)
Ivan Maisel: Just what college football needs: another poll. Look, I understand OU fans are upset after two losses on bad calls in so short a time period. But no matter how many cameras you have, at the end of the day, a human being has to make the call. This Pac-10 guy laid an egg. Last year, it was a Big 12 guy. There's no conspiracies, and I don't know what the remedy is. But more guys huddling around the TV set is not it.
Ivan...the refs pulled the heart of the OU players with those calls. You're asking an awful lot of those players to get back up quickly...when the ref goes ahead and gives Oregon another call on that pass interference. They were stripped of their desire!
Ted (Philly)
Ivan Maisel: The players have to suck it up. Bear Bryant used to give his players a great speech about how, 20 years down the road, when they've lost their job and their wife has left with the drummer, what were they going to do? Give up? You're going to get bad calls. If you stop to feel sorry for yourself, nobody will care. That especially goes for the University of Oklahoma president. What did he think that letter would accomplish, other than to throw raw meat to his constituents? He did not distinguish himself with that letter, and that's as nicely as I can put it.
How should the BCS handle the Oklahoma-Oregon game?
58% Count it
42% Disregard it
I think there is no question Batch should have started last night.
Prince (Pittsburgh)
Ben needed to play if they wanted to win, Batch would have been done by halftime
Joe (Chicago)
What are your thoughts on the game last night, and do you expect a similar carry over when my team plays Cincinnati this weekend? Should I have rested Big Ben another week?
B. Cowher (Pittsburgh)
Matt Williamson: Hard to say if Ben should have played or not. He didn't look bad, but also didn't have his usual timing or magic. What has to worry the Steelers' O is the lack of a running game and the WRs aren't making plays. The Steelers have faced two defenses that are very strong up the middle, which was brutal on Parker. All will be forgotten if Pittsburgh pulls out a win at home against the Bengals, who are really beat up.
Now Jags fans are saying they will kill the Colts because they beat the world champs last night! Do they realize the Colts will not run on 1st and 2nd down all game? Colts win by 10.
Brian (Richmond, VA)
I like a hard hitting defensive battle. It is like a pitchers duel in baseball...we do not see them enough.
Kevin (Manassas)
I think it was more of the Jags defense playing really well as opposed to the Steelers stinking (aside from that last INT by Big Ben).
Greg (CT)
Is Big Ben secretly on the cover of Madden if you peel off Alexander? That guy crashes his bike, has his appendix blow up, and then gets really sick. What's next?
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
I think the Jags are the real deal. Defensively, they are solid and Leftwich is a solid QB. They will be trouble this year.
Mark (Portland, CT)
1. Which teams made the biggest noise on Separation Saturday?
2. Which teams are in the deepest holes after NFL Week 2?
Remember our whole karma debate about Notre Dame? Apparently, Karma was wearing maize and blue this weekend.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
OK, someone answer me this AP poll question. Clemson beats FSU and is ranked behind them with the same record, BC beat Clemson with a better record and is ranked behind both, make sense to anyone else?
Greg (Boston)
The best was watching the Oregon-OU game on Sunday morning replay, and going, 'I know Oregon wins, but how?' Unbelievable....
Jeremy (Boston)
Goodbye Brady Quinn. You won't see me in NY.
Heisman Trophy (Columbus)
I keep trying to kill Louisville's season and they just won't die.
The Grim Reaper (Lexington, KY)
Here is how SportsNation's Top 10 looks after the many significant games over the weekend:
1. Ohio State
2. Auburn
4. Michigan
5. West Virginia
6. Florida
7. Louisville
8. Georgia
9. Texas
NOTE: Notre Dame fell to 13th, right behind Oregon.
Fins definitely looking like the team that will unseat the Pats. LOL!!!
Scott (Boston)
Eli won that game for the Giants with no protection and no running game. I'm not annointing him anything yet, but that was a great game.
Mule (DC)
Did I really hear Sterling Sharpe call Alex Smith, Frank Gore and Antonio Bryant the "Big Three" last night?
Andrew (WI)
I keep waiting for Joe Gibbs to pull off his mask and reveal that it's really Art Shell, Jr coaching that team.
Sarge (Overland Park, KS)
Can we have a moment of silence for the Detroit Lions' season? It only lasted two weeks. Usually it's 4.
Tom (Ann Arbor)
SportsNation also weighed in on when we can expect some things to happen for the first time in the 2006 NFL season:
77% Lions won't score 40 points in a game this season
54% Reggie Bush will score his first NFL touchdown this week vs. Atlanta
52% Texans won't win until Week 8 or later
44% Tennessee should start Vince Young at QB this week at Miami
43% Falcons will rush for at least 200 yards in their first four games

This question is archived. No new answers are allowed, and only the question's owner may edit it.
I have just replaced the digitizer on my iphone 5s 32gb.

I have even tried to restore the iphone without the digitizer plugged in .
But the unit will still not restore.
I hope some one can help :}

Exterior Color
We have reached a point in our build that we need to make a decision on shingle color and I think we need to know the siding color first. We will be using LP SmartSide siding, trim, and shakes on the house and would like to go for a neutral or earth tone colors on the house. The window casing colors are a sandstone.
We are trying to decide between brown or black/grey shingles and are having trouble. I was leaning towards brown, but don't want to be limited when selecting the siding colors.
Does anyone have any tips for selecting these colors? Sample pictures would help. I am having trouble finding what were are looking for on Houzz.com.
I also like the Owens Corning visualizer to help with seeing different exterior house colors together. The only problem was some of the Ben Moore colors on the Owens site is some of the colors are no longer available.
I also found a site by an interior designer named Barbara Meglis that was very helpful. The address for this site is yourcolorcoach.wordpress.com
Good luck with your decisions!
We are leaning towards GAF's timberline slate siding. It looks like this would go with just about any siding color. Anyone else use this color? Pictures? I could not find many pictures of it out on the web.
Here is a link that might be useful: GAF Shingles

The Golden Arches are sagging just a little bit, as fast-food kingpin McDonald's reported a near 2 percent decline in overall revenue for their locations that have been open for at least 13 months. Industry experts say this is the first time the burger giant has experienced a month-to-month drop in that sector since spring 2003.

So far we've learned that the worst US drought in 50 years will cause meat prices to rise and has even forced some ranchers to feed candy to their cattle. But now comes truly disturbing news from the UK's National Pig Association (who knew there was such a thing?): a worldwide bacon and sausage shortage may also be in the future.
How often do you eat out? Would you eat out more if it didn't cost so much? We've compiled a list of restaurants in and around Bozeman with kid and senior citizen deals to help reduce the cost of dining out. We hope this helps to afford a dinner out with the whole family. Making sure everyone gets along at the table we leave up to you!

Just shy of perfection
Rye High School's Sam Ambler wound up 1.25 seconds shy of a perfect showing at the John Tate Challenge Cup track and field meet.
That's how far behind the Thunderbolts' senior finished as he desperately tried to chase down the anchor runner for front-running Manitou Springs in the Division II boys 1,600-meter relay. Ambler gave it all he had while trying to make up a 20-meter deficit when he received the baton for his final leg of the race.
The Thunderbolts actually broke the meet record for the event, but had to settle for the silver medal despite Ambler's gallant effort.
Everything else went Ambler's way as he set two meet records — a 1:58.94 debut performance in the 800 dash and a 44 foot, 41/2 leap in the triple jump — and anchored the T-Bolts' record-setting 3,200-meter relay (8:22.54).

I tried google, you tube, and code junkies, but to no avail. And I know there are going to be people that do want to hack this game so can anybody help me out? And please refrain from the usual "do it the normal way noob" or "why dont you just play the game >_<" comments.

Gee, maybe you shouldn't get a game that requires time and effort if you have such a hard working job. I work long periods of time but still manage to avoid degrading to cheats, what's the point of a game if you're just going to do that.

Gee, maybe you shouldn't get a game that requires time and effort if you have such a hard working job. I work long periods of time but still manage to avoid degrading to cheats, what's the point of a game if you're just going to do that.
Or maybe when I spend 35$ on a game I should'nt be limited to getting only about half the content of that game. The Evs and Ivs and all the rest of that comptetitve breeding stuff is a huge time consuming proccess. But I can respect that. BUT having all the old favorites unavailable to me is unacceptable. If I want a frickin charmander or a bulbasaur I should be able to capture one in the wild. Needing to trade to evolve my magmar is a pain in the rectum when i'm the only one in the area that plays this game. There are some people that are 100% limited to only in game pokemon there for trading and all the rest of this stuff is unobtainable. This game is fun but it is made for those who have wireless connections and friends that play it too. Its extremely limited for those who play offline like me. Besides, If I want a victini I have to wait for nintendo to be kind enough to pass one out? what if it's the completely wrong nature I want or if the Ivs are crap? Oh well too bad right? WRONG. I paid for this game and I should be entitled to have its full contents available to me. Not the other way around. For this reason I use the AR. So AR thrashers can kiss my buttocks. And stay out of my topic.

Dude, you dont have to explain yourself. Your not hurting anyone or doing anything detrimental so nobody has the right to give you crap about it..
I'd post a better sig but my imagination is shot.
Any codes for the Kami trio you can (or could) only get via Dream Radar?
