The BoP screams "KLINGON" to me. I don't care if they "stole" the design, or if the script changed and they ended up "getting" the BoP. I don't care what movie or series it appeared or .. didn't appear in. I don't care what ship blew up what ship in what series during what time. When I see a BoP I will find myself biting my lip thinking "ok how many of them are out there ..." and wondering just what amazing idea the captain of the "inferior" BoP will use to knock a hole in a Galaxy class cruiser.
D7 - ...an afterthought of a "what could have been" design
BoP - Everything a Klingon represents and I play STO just to fly one.

my quilt is falling apart
Now that I have washed my quilt and I'm starting to like it better and better, my only problem is that it is falling apart!
Many of my circles are starting to come apart.
I am going to zig-zag over the edges, but why did this happen? Should I have used a wider zig-zag when I appliqued them in the first place?
P.S. Here is a picture of the whole quilt if you didn't already see it on my Petri Dish thread. :)
Lola, you should have probably used a wider and tighter zigzag. Also make sure the stitch is mostly on the applique piece. Straight stitching near the edge before zigzag may help, too.
As a fellow quilter who has had a quilt come apart, I know how you feel! All those hours of work! Hopefully yours can be repaired. Mine was a hand sewn cathedral window and it literally fell apart in the washer. I just hauled it out of the dryer and into the garbage can. :(
Oh, my, and what a wonderful, colorful quilt! Take Kate's advise and re-sew the circles. Is that fabric by chance a loosely-woven decorator fabric or something? The reason why I ask is that it looks like a more loosely woven fabric. I had made a quilt using some decorator fabric samples and some of them were very easy to unravel at the edges like that.
Good advice so far. Wider, tighter zig-zag with most all the stitch on the circle.
Did you use a fusible product when applying the circles? I would think a fusible would have helped to hold it in place and stabilize it. (for the "for what it's worth" category)
Thanks for the comments and information.
I will re-sew all of the circles. I thought I was supposed to catch part of the applique and part of the back ground with my zigzag. Now I realize that idea, coupled with a narrow zigzag resulted in very little stitching holding down the circles. I'll make a wider stitch and focus on stitching mostly on the applique. If I ever sew this pattern again, I'll straight stitch near the edge, before zigzagging. Good idea, Donna.
Donna, I'm so sorry your cathedral window went from the dryer to the garbage. How frustrating. I really like the look of cathedral window quilts, but I have not attempted that yet.
Rita, the fabric is high quality quilting fabric that I bought at several LQS. But, I did wash it 3x in a row (to get all the red dye out) so I'm sure that contributed to the unraveling.
No, Jennifer, I didn't use a fusible product. I used a stabilizer on the back when I first stitched the circles. I was afraid a fusible would make it stiff, but I'm under the impression that some fusibles are now quite soft. So maybe that is the way to go next time.
This is definitely a great learning project! Thanks again for sharing your advice.
Lola, I agree, this is heartbreaking!!
I suggest you use a fusible in fixing this or it will continue to come apart. The fusible prevents the fabric from raveling. Looking at your zig zag stitching, I think they are fine in securing your circles. It is the unfinished edges of the circles that frayed away from the stitches.
I have taken some machine applique workshops, and what they all had in common was the use of fusible.
To fix this, I would cut away the existing circles, leave the zig zag stitches, cut new circles, slightly larger using fusible following the directions where you fuse first, then cut your circles with the fused edges and re stitch. Since the circles are a bit larger than the frayed ones, you will be covering the existing zig zag stitching.
Basically you only have a ring of fusible around the edges, so it is still very soft. This will prevent the fraying.
You are having a time with this quilt, but it looks great.
Thank goodness you washed it before giving it away.
Here is a link that might be useful: Soft Fuse
Oh, I don't have the energy to cut out all of the existing circles. I think I would only do that if I really loved the quilting (which I don't really like at all!). Also, I only bought 1/4 yard cuts of most of the fabric, so I don't even have enough to redo the circles.
I'm going to try to sew a very wide, tight zigzag and see if that holds it. I did one circle this evening. It changes the look, but if it can salvage the quilt than that is okay. If this doesn't work, then this quilt will officially be declared a learning piece and I'll be done with it.
Lola~I'm with 'ya on this one! I admire your perseverance to get this done & gone! :)
And.....not having more fabric saved you from my suggestion~lol
Your satin stitch looks very good. That should hold it!
I still like your quilt alot and all the bright colors.
Lola I love the quilt!! You should be able to repair it.
When my granddaughter's first quilt (she made) came aprt in some areas I just ironed them as flat as I could and glued them in place to applique them back down.
It doesn't look as pretty on the back BUT it does on the front lol!!!!!
This is a learning lesson for me too, Lola.
I can feel your frustration with the fraying circles, but I can also sense the uplifting feeling you must be getting from the helpful suggestions from this group of wonderful gals.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. You may never know how many others you will reach with this learning project. I'm making notes for the future when I start the applique adventure.
I like everything about the design of your quilt, from the circles to the narrow border to the strip-pieced border to the lovely backing. I also like the excellent photography in your third photo. It looks like it came from a magazine! Love the way you draped one corner on the edge of the moss covered stump.
Keep us updated on your re-do progress.
Lola, I think your quilt is very bright and pretty, and I'm so sorry you have been so disappointed by it. I think your satin stitch around each circle should take care of your problem, and I think it looks fine.
When I started my baby sail boat applique quilt, I intended to use a blanket stitch as I had in the machine applique class I had taken. Then I realized that I was working with a more coarsely-woven fabric than the batik we used in class. I was afraid of raveling, so I used a zig-zag. I also used a very light fusible product, and I sewed so that the right "zig" always landed right at the edge of the applique and the left "zag" went well into the fabric. I also had the LAQ quilt over the appliques for security. I hope there won't be an issue with the quilt. In fact, I hope they use it as a wall-hanging so it doesn't get washed too often.
I think your quilt will be lovely.
I haven't been on in a while, I lurk now and then but I feel I need to comment here.
Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL!!! Please do not give up on it. It was and is a learning process and the ladies on the forum have given you just the advice I would have given you too, fusible under the appliques.
Your quilt as inspired some ideas in my head for some fabric I didn't know what I was going to do with. Thanks!
Thank you again, my friends. Julie, you are SO right, I feel so much better talking this through with this group and getting suggestions, input, and condolences!
Vicky, so nice to see you here and thank you for your encouragement.
Last night I saw the woman who is to receive this quilt. I showed it to her and she loved it. She told me that she has never made a quilt and she has never owned a quilt before and she is thrilled. I told her that I tried some new things and some worked better than others (obviously she saw where it was falling apart) but I didn't point out all the faults and she told me that she really liked the fact that I experimented. Ironically, she was particularly impressed with the machine quilting. One of her colleagues quilts and sends all of her tops out to be quilted, so my friend had in her mind that quilting a top is a very difficult, impressive thing to do! Ha, if only she knew how I felt about MY quilting. But I kept that to myself and just told her I hoped it would hold up to the wash after I finished re-sewing all the circles.
Anyway, thank you all again for listening and participating in my quilting saga.
I'm so glad it's turned out to be a good experience for you! Truth be told, most of our quilt project can probably be thought of as sagas. So often I run into something unexpected, then feel a sense of accomplishment when I figure out how to fix it. Your quilt is beautiful, the colors are exciting and your friend should be impressed with your quilting!

What Am I Wearing Today: Sheer Red Lips
I have been itching to do a Red lip look and put my Red lippies to some good use rather than swatching. I have almost picked up the Revlon Matte Really Red lipstick when my eyes got fixed on this garish golden case. I couldn't resist and went for this sheer cherry red lip color, and needless to say that I fell in love with the luscious juicy shine it gave to my lips. It is very wearable shade of red and will never look OTT.
I kept the eyes pretty simple with a pearly bronzed-brown eye shadow all over the lids and with a thick winged liner and smudged kohl for highlighting inner corner I dabbed a little bit of INGLOT #402 pearl eye shadow.
Products Used:
- INGLOT Freedom System Eye Shadow – 421 Pearl
- INGLOT Freedom System Eye Shadow – 402 Pearl
- Covergirl Perfectblend Eye Pencil – Basic Black
- L'Oreal Color Riche Caresse lipstick – Cherry Tulle
Hope you liked the look..!!

Prince Harry Catches a Performance of Ex Cressida Bonas' Play as First Anniversary of Breakup Nears: What Does It All Mean?!

Prince Harry watching The Importance of Being Earnest might have unwittingly prompted some great expectations. The for-all-intents-and-purposes still-single royal was spotted leaving the London Oratory on Wednesday night after catching a benefit performance of the aforementioned play—starring none other than ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas. Though Harry exited the theater alone, it seems likely that he would have met up with Cressida after the show (not before, that would have interrupted her process!) to say hello. Either way, the Daily Mail reports that Harry looked thoroughly entertained during the show, one of three performances of the Oscar Wilde classic being put on by Band of Others, with »

Lucky College Students Googled Their Professor and Discovered He Is Also an Extremely Hot Male Model
11 hours ago
Brb, currently applying to this school. Ugh, this guy teaches math? That's the one subject we loathe. Any chance he can start teaching gym? Can you major in gym? The point of that incoherent rambling is to talk about the discovery the students at London College made recently about their teacher. They were sitting in his class, admiring this guy's chiseled cheekbones, perfect hair and piercing eyes, listening to him talk about…whatever it is math teachers talk about in college (Isosceles triangles? Long division?), when student Arief Azli decided to do what any human would do to creep on a complete stranger. He Googled him. A+ to you, Arief because what you found is just remarkable. The »

11 hours ago
Get a room, you two! Nicki Minaj was busy posing for some seriously sexy pics with rapper Meek Mill backstage shortly before her Paris concert. And while the two haven't exactly come forward yet and announced that they're a couple, it's safe to say that the duo may be more than just close pals. In the series of shots, Minaj is seen wearing a full-body fishnet leotard and snuggling up to Mill—and by snuggling we mean mounting. Yes, seriously. The "Anaconda" singer thanked her "boo" for coming out to join her on her worldwide Pinkprint Tour and thanked the City of Light for being such an awesome audience. Earlier this month, Meek and Minaj were spotted »
Amanda Knox Cleared of Murder Charges by Italian Court
11 hours ago
Good news for Amanda Knox! The 27-year-old and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were both acquitted of murder charges by an Italian court today, NBC News confirms. The longstanding charges against Knox and Sollecito stem from the 2007 death of their one-time roommate, British student Meredith Kercher. Now, after years of legal proceedings, the murder convictions are overturned and both sentences are annulled. There will be no more appeals in the case. Knox was charged with Kercher's murder in 2009. Knox and Sollecito both appealed from behind bars, and in 2011, the original conviction was overturned after Knox spent four years in an Italian prison. »
Sia Opens Up to Kristen Wiig, Says Fame ''F--ks With My Sanity'': I Don't Want Focus ''on Whether Or Not I Have Cellulite''
11 hours ago
It's no secret that Sia doesn't want to be famous. In fact, the singer never shows her face at public events, and instead sports her signature blond wig, in an effort to maintain some sense of anonymity. "For me, writing and recording the songs are fine, but then promoting it is usually, like ... I think Tom Waits called it 'doing the dishes'-promo, talking about yourself all the time, answering the same questions for, like, a trillion magazines or TV shows or radio shows," she tells pal Kristen Wiig, who, along with Maddie Ziegler, performed at Grammys as the singer sang her hit tune "Chandelier" with her back to the audience. "And it sort of makes you feel crazy. It literally »
Kim Kardashian Denied Membership to Soho House ''Numerous Times,'' Plus Details on the Club's Secret Britney Spears Dilemma
11 hours ago
You'd think being one of the world's most famous celebrities would get you access behind any and every closed door imaginable, but you'd be wrong. Los Angeles' Soho House turns five years old this year, and some members of the private club's management are spilling secret details about who has been allowed in and who hasn't. "We denied access to every Real Housewife who applied," Tim Geary, the former membership director, told The Hollywood Reporter. And the no's didn't end there… "Kim Kardashian has unsuccessfully tried numerous times. Kobe Bryant showed up and chose not to join. We didn't let him up. There was debate over Britney Spears. Not sure how »
Vin Diesel Calls Paul Walker His ''Guide Into Fatherhood,'' Says Late Actor's Presence Was There for His Daughter's Birth
11 hours ago
Vin Diesel is opening up about his late best friend Paul Walker. In an interview with the Today show, the Furious 7 star credits Walker for preparing him to be a dad to his three children. "He went into fatherhood a lot earlier than I did," the 47-year-old actor told Natalie Morales. "He took on that role of kind of being the guide into fatherhood for me. It's kind of beautiful." Diesel and Walker were on set filming Fast Five when Diesel's second child Vincent was born in 2010. "The one thing Paul always wanted me to do was be present at my child's birth," he said. "He was so adamant about it." "When I Did Fast & Furious 5 and we were on the »

As wolves face the gun, flawed science taints decision to remove species from ESA
(05/07/2009) On Monday the gray wolf was removed from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in Idaho and Montana, two states that have protected the wolf for decades. According to the federal government the decision to remove those wolf populations was based on sound conservation science—a fact greatly disputed in conservation circles. For unlike the bald eagle, whose population is still rising after being delisted in 1995, when the wolf is removed from the ESA it will face guns blazing and an inevitable decline.
Secret movements of the basking shark uncovered
(05/07/2009) Researchers with the Massachusetts Mariner Fisheries have uncovered the secret life of the world's second largest fish, known for its cavernous mouth. The basking shark, which measures over 10 meters and weighs as much as seven tons, has long baffled scientists by disappearing from view half of every year. A new study from Current Biology found that the basking shark spends this time deep in the Atlantic's tropical waters.
Bioelectricity bests ethanol on two fronts: land use and global warming
(05/07/2009) Yesterday the Obama Administration established a Biofuels Interagency Working Group to oversee implementation of new rules and research regarding biofuels.

Chimpanzee population plummets 90 percent in supposedly strong region
(05/06/2009) Chimp populations continue to decline in Africa. A new survey of our closest relatives in the Cote D'Ivoire found that the population fell from an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 individuals to a paltry 800 to 1,200, a decline that took place in less than twenty years.
Not only do fish feel pain, it changes their behavior
(05/06/2009) Just months after a study made a splash in the media that proved crabs experience pain, a new study of goldfish shows that not only do these fish also feel pain, but it changes their future behavior. Published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science the study tested goldfish by slowly raising the temperature in their tank. In the warming tank, researchers administered one group of fish morphine and the other saline.
First-ever photo of jaguar on Barro Colorado Island
(05/04/2009) Researchers have captured the first-ever photo of a jaguar on Barro Colorado Island, a key tropical forest research site in Panama, reports the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). The picture was snapped by a camera trap set up by Montclair State University zoologist Jackie Willis and her husband Greg. The pair have been using the traps — which use infrared to detect and photograph passing wildlife — for animal surveys on Barro Colorado since 1994.
Will the illegal trade of the critically endangered Philippine forest turtle lead to its extinction?
(05/04/2009) Endangered Species International (ESI) conducted ongoing monitoring at markets known to sell pets and wild animals in Manila, Philippines, to monitor the status of the trade of one of the most endangered turtle in the world: the Philippine forest turtle Siebenrockiella (Panayenemys) leytensis,. The critically endangered Philippine forest turtle is endemic to the Philippines, occurring only on one major island, Palawan, and its small satellite island, Dumaran.

U.S. imports 1 billion pet animals from the wild between 2000 and 2006
(04/30/2009) Poor regulation of the international wildlife trade has increased the vulnerability of the U.S. to outbreaks of disease and alien invasive species, report researchers writing in Science. Analyzing Law Enforcement Management Information System (LEMIS) data gathered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from 2000 through 2006, Katherine Smith of Brown University and colleagues found that of the more than 1.5 billion live wildlife animals legally imported to the United States during the period, only 14 percent were classified to the level of species despite federal mandates for such labeling. The lack of accurate reporting makes it impossible to "accurately assess the diversity of wildlife imported or the risk they pose as invasive species or hosts of harmful pathogens," they write.
Coral reef loss in Caribbean leads to ongoing fish declines
(04/30/2009) Analyzing 48 surveys of Caribbean fish populations over fifty years, from 1955-2007, a new meta-study has found that fish populations in the famously clear waters began to drop in the mid-90s, leading to a consistent decline that hasn't stopped. The study published in Current Biology discovered a region-wide decline of about 3-6 percent per year in three out of six trophic groups of fish, i.e. groupings of species categorized by their place on the food chain. The declines didn't show major differences between species targeted by fishermen and those that are not, implying that overfishing isn't the only cause of the decline in the Caribbean.
Birds can dance, proving humans aren't the only ones with rhythm
(04/30/2009) Another ability long-thought to belong solely to humans, like tool-use or counting, does in fact occur in other species, according to two new studies. In this case, it is the capacity to move rhythmically with music. Studying two different birds the research groups found that the birds weren't just moving randomly or mimicking owners, but actually changing the tempo of their movement to match the music—in other words, dancing.
Canada and Britain abandon conventional coal
(04/29/2009) In an effort to curb climate change, both Britain and Canada have announced plans to stop building new conventional coal power plants, a move long-advocated by environmentalists. Both nations have turned their sights to the possibility of clean coal, a controversial and still unproven method that has divided environmentalists, scientists, and policy makers.
Huge cache of smuggled ivory represents up to 40 elephants
(04/29/2009) On April 25th two men were pursued by wildlife rangers from the Amboseli-Tsavo Game Scouts Association in Tanzania. The men escaped across the border to southern Kenya where they were caught by police, who had been tipped off by the wildlife scouts. The two men's SUV contained 1,550 lbs (703 kilograms) of elephant tusks, representing a total of up to forty individuals according to the Kenyan Wildlife Service. This is considered the largest seizure in the region since the ivory smuggling boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The ivory is estimated at a value of $750,000 (or 60 million Kenyan shillings).
Obama administration overturns rule that weakened Endangered Species Act
(04/28/2009) Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced today that the Obama administration will reverse an Endangered Species Act (ESA) regulation that allowed federal agencies to go ahead with actions that may impact endangered species without consulting with experts, essentially circumventing the role of conservation scientists in such decisions.
New park in United Arab Emirates to protect rare mammals
(04/28/2009) With only 2,500 individuals in the wild, the Arabian tahr is certainly in need of the sanctuary just established by the United Arab Emirates. The country's first mountain reserve, Wadi Wurayah Fujairah covers 129 square kilometers (80 square miles).

Global warming to cripple Southeast Asia economically
(04/28/2009) By the end of the century nations in Southeast Asia will face debilitating economic loss due to global warming, according to a new study from the Asian Development Bank. Analyzing Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam the study found that they could suffer an annual loss of 6.7 percent ($230 billion dollars) in combined gross domestic product by 2100, more than double the global average which is estimated at a loss of 2.6 percent.
Tropical storms affect carbon sinks by knocking down forests
(04/27/2009) Studying nearly a hundred and fifty years of tropical storm landfalls in the United States, researchers have discovered that the storm systems have a sizable impact on forest carbon sinks due to the large-scale destruction of trees.
New protections for coral reefs and dwindling fish species in Belize
(04/27/2009) Coral reefs in Belize, considered to be some of the most pristine in the west, have secured additional protections. Rene Montero, the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, signed a set of new laws this month to protect Belize's coral reefs and the fish that inhabit them. The additional laws protect increasingly overfished species, ban spearfishing in marine reserves, and create no-take zones, according to a press release from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
Starving vultures in Europe allowed to feast again
(04/26/2009) European vultures have been thrown a lifeline. Last week, Members of the European Parliament voted to change a law that had banned farmers across the continent from leaving dead livestock in the field, a major source of food for vultures.
The story of 'Save the Frogs Day', April 28th, An Interview with Kerry Kriger
(04/26/2009) Founder and director of SAVE THE FROGS!, Dr. Kerry Kriger is responsible for the first annual Save The Frogs Day on Tuesday, April 28th with events planned worldwide from the United States to Nepal, and Australia to China.

Environmental campaign blocks palm oil project in Cote d' Ivoire wetland
(04/25/2009) Environmentalists have thwarted plans to establish an oil palm plantation in the Tanoe forest wetlands of southern Cote d' Ivoire (Ivory Coast), reports AFP.
Fire contributes 20% of global warming emissions
(04/23/2009) Fire accounts for roughly half of greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and about twenty percent of total emissions from human activities, report researchers writing in the journal Science. The estimates — based on analysis of fire's impact on emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane; albedo or the reflectivity of Earth's surface; and release of aerosols and other particulates — suggest fire plays a major large role in climate than conventionally believed.
DNA testing finds identical animals actually different species
(04/23/2009) Seemingly identical animals on the outside may in fact be completely different species, according to scientists who have made a startling discovery that could have widespread implications for biology.
Antarctica's sea ice increasing due to ozone hole, but scientists predict global warming will catch-up
(04/23/2009) Increasing ice in Antarctica is not a sign that the earth is actually cooling instead of warming as some climate change-skeptics have attested. A new study finds that the growth in Antarctic ice during the last 30 years is actually due to shifting weather patterns caused by the hole in the ozone layer. The researchers predict that eventually global warming will catch up to Antarctica leading to overall melting as it has in the Arctic.
After disease engulfs island, rare mountain chicken frogs airlifted to safety
(04/23/2009) In a rescue operation that sounds straight out of an action film, 50 mountain chicken frogs were airlifted from the Caribbean island Montserrat after the discovery of Chytridomycosis, a fungal disease that has wiped out amphibian populations worldwide. Already, hundreds of the critically-endangered mountain chicken frogs succumbed to the disease, which is thought to have made its way to the island in late 2008 or early 2009.

(04/22/2009) The US House of Representatives passed today, the 39th Earth Day, two bills that would aid some of the world's most embattled wildlife: the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act (H.R. 411) and the Crane Conservation Act (H.R. 388).
Indigenous forest management offers lessons in fighting global warming
(04/22/2009) A new book written by members of indigenous communities across Indonesia argues that traditional forest management practices can provide important lessons in the effort to slow climate change.
Howler monkeys poisoned because of misinformed link to yellow fever
(04/22/2009) There have been numerous reports of howler monkeys poisoned in the southernmost Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul due to misinformation regarding the monkeys and the yellow fever virus. Some locals believed that the monkeys, which also suffer from yellow fever, were in fact the disease-carriers, but yellow fever is carried by mosquitoes not monkeys. A new campaign headed by Dr. Julio Cesar Bicca Marques wants to set the record straight. The campaign, entitled 'Save Our Guardian Angels', is working to inform the public of the actual and important role of howler monkeys in yellow fever outbreaks.
River systems worldwide are losing water due to global warming
(04/22/2009) Many rivers around the world are losing water due to global climate change, according to a new study from the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate. Large populations depend on some of the rivers for everything from agriculture to clean drinking resources, including the Yellow River, the Ganges, the Niger, and the Colorado, which have all shown significant declines.
Afghanistan announces first national park on Earth Day
(04/22/2009) War-wearied Afghanis received uplifting news on Earth Day this year. Their nation has announced the creation of the nation's first national park, Band-e-Amir, protecting a one-of-a-kind landscape encompassing six sky-blue lakes separated by natural dams. Announced by Afghanistan's National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) at a ceremony in the FAO Building at the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock in Kabul this morning, key funding for the park was provided by The United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
100 nature images for Earth Day
(04/22/2009) Biodiversity - from tigers in Bhutan to gila monsters in the United States to Horned beetles in Africa to tube worms in hydrothermal vents in the deep ocean to sea cucumbers living on the coral reefs of Madagascar to the mites on your cheese - is makes life on Earth livable for our species. By extinguishing hotbeds of biodiversity - rainforests, wetlands, coral reefs, and grasslands - we are destroying a part of ourselves. Biodiversity will recover after humanity is gone, but in the meantime, the continuing loss of our fellow species will make Earth an awfully crowded, but lonely place.
Indigenous people serve as guardians of forest carbon, must be involved in climate solutions
(04/22/2009) Efforts to create an international climate framework — including a carbon financing mechanism for forest conservation — must involve forest people, said indigenous leaders attending the Indigenous Peoples Global Summit on Climate Change meeting this week in Anchorage, Alaska.
Earth Day photos reflecting our world's beauty
(04/22/2009) With Earth Day fast becoming just another commercial holiday — albeit one where most people still have to go to the work — mongabay is taking a visual approach to capture the beauty that surrounds us. Here are around 120 photos I've taken at sites around the world, most of which were snapped in the past five years. The animals pictured are in their natural settings — no zoo or aquarium specimen are included. I've done my best to name most of the creatures pictured, although I haven't been able to identify many of the insects.
Famous Kenyan park experiencing large declines in wildlife
(04/21/2009) In Masai Mara, one of Africa's most treasured parks, researchers have found significant, in some cases catastrophic, declines of wild grazing animals. In fifteen years six of seven hoofed animals—giraffes, warthogs, hartebeest, impala, topis and waterbucks—showed declines. The study published in the British Journal of Zoology confirms what has long been expected: wildlife populations in Masai Mara are plummeting due to increased competition with humans and livestock.
U.S. climate change legislation may cut energy costs - report
(04/21/2009) The U.S. can dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions while reducing energy spending at the same time, reports a new study by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).
New legislation in Brazil opens up road-paving across country, threatening Amazon
(04/21/2009) Brazil's Chamber of Deputies has approved a measure that would speed up paving roads across the country, including paving a road that environmentalists have long-fought, BR-319. Environmental groups across the nation have warned of widespread deforestation if the measure passes the Senate and is signed by the president.
Expedition in Philippines uncovers one of the world's rarest mammals along with possible new species
(04/21/2009) A two week expedition into the North Negros Natural Park (NNNP) in the Philippines has led to several discoveries. In the 80,454 hectare park (nearly 200,000 acres), the expedition found what may be new species of insects and plants, in addition to a frog likely unknown to science. They also discovered evidence of the Visayan spotted deer, considered to be the world's rarest deer and one of the rarest mammals. The team discovered droppings from the deer, which will be analyzed for food content.
Avoided deforestation projects highly desirable for carbon offsets finds survey

Mexican Salamanders Used in Neurology Labs May Go Extinct in Wild
(04/21/2009) Ambystoma mexicanum, a salamander found only in the fetid canals surrounding Mexico City, faces extinction despite the efforts of researchers. As reported by Robert Koenig in the 5 December issue of Science, ecologists estimate that there are now only 100 of these salamanders per square kilometer in the canals, swamps, and lakes around the city – a rapid drop from their density of 600 per square kilometer in the 1980s.
Colorado River unlikely to meet current water demands in warmer, drier world
(04/20/2009) Feeding the water habits of such major cities as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, in addition to providing irrigation waters for the entire Southwestern United States, has stretched the Colorado River thin. The river no longer consistently reaches the sea as it once did. Now a new study warns that the Colorado River system, which has proven dependable for human use throughout the 20th Century, may soon experience shortages due to global warming.

Illegal hunting in Laos takes toll on wildlife
(04/20/2009) Deep in the rugged mountains of Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area (NEPL) on the Laos–Vietnam border, men smoke cigarettes and talk in hushed voices as they tramp through the forest. Approaching a baited trap, they hear the frantic snarls of an ensnared tiger. The tiger hangs by its front foot, suspended by a cable attached to a tree. The men shoot and make quick work of the tiger, removing its bones but leaving some of its carcass, including parts of its pelt, behind.

This is on a dui charge with suspended liscese
Criminal Defense Attorney
The preliminary hearing is usually for felonies. It is a probable cause hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to hold you over for trial. Preliminary hearings are routinely waived so the Judge does not hear some of the evidence prior to trial. Like antone, once you have heard something, the next time you hear it, it seems familiar and therefore true. I would not accelerate the process. Let time take its toll on memories, etc, Witnesses and police sometimes move, get sick or even die.

No more sharing?
I'm just wondering: Do cruise lines still have the roommate match-up program where you get to book as a single person but on the dbl. occupancy rate, provided that the ship matches you up with another single traveler? And if they can't find anyone, then you get the room without the supplement fee.
Is this option still available? I don't think Carnival does this anymore though.
Re: No more sharing?
Yes, some cruise lines still have "single share".
Re: No more sharing?
YesI Princess and Holland america still have shares, that is how I travel.

Pokemon X
This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Pokemon: Type Islands.
Well, as long as I seem to be among a minority in regards to getting this moving again...
K and Alice remained together, eventually getting married and living happy lives together. The baby Missingno. K took in turned out to be instrumental in solving the issues everyone was having with ??? Island- once the Missingno. all realized that the abandoned infant Missingno. had been taken in and lovingly raised by a human, they began to reconsider their previous views about humans. Especially once K revealed that he was raised by 3TrainerPoke and could understand the languages of all Glitch Pokemon. K was also able to clear Alice's name by convincing everyone that Jerem was at fault. K made sure he and Alice were present at Jerem's execution. With Jerem gone, the other corrupt island leaders lost heart and were overthrown with relative ease. There were still minor squabbles, of course, but for the most part, peace reigned supreme throughout the islands.
Seph got tired of this place and said to Amaterasu: "You know, this is boring. Let's go Amy."
Amaterasu: "mhmm."
So Seph and Amaterasu returned to the boat they came with, went back to Fire Isand and took over everything.
They now live in a giant castle full of luxury and protected by Arcanine, Houndoom and Magmortar guards with a Darmanitan as captain. A Chandelure is their personal butler and a Rapidash Seph's personal mighty steed. All hail the mighty Fire Kaiser! \o/

If it is still non canon
After the overthrow of her mother she took her rightful place as Queen of Steel Island. She pushed for once every three years for a tournament to determine who is the best battler in on the eighteen islands. It takes place on ??? island with Hercule winning every tournament. With her time with Fox on ??? island she was able to bring Steel and Fire Island closer together.
If it is then disregard this post.

"Retreat" at The Studio with Artist Linda Basha Brookshire
LACONIA — Sometimes from the weather, sometimes from the world, "Retreat" is an appealing idea for many. Artist Linda Basha Brookshire from Mt. Vernon has created a community of small mixed-media work exploring this concept, and will be at The Studio, 50 Canal Street in Laconia, on Sunday July 13 for a reception beginning at noon.
Using small fragments of antique and vintage cloth bits and pigment, the artist has created evocative landscapes with titles that allow the viewer's mind to create stories and engage with the pieces on a level beyond just the visual. "Winter Camp", "The Valley is Rich", "Many Stacks of Books" -- all invite reflection and conversation.
Beginning at 1:30, there will be an artist's talk and open discussion about the series of works and the ideas of sanctuary, refuge and retreat. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Light refreshment will be provided, and the gift shop will be open as well until 4 p.m.
The Studio is located at 50 Canal Street in downtown Laconia. For more information call 603-455-8008 or visit www.thestudionh.com. Hours are Tuesday 2-7pm, Wednesday-Friday 10-5 pm, Saturday 9-3 pm and Sunday noon-4 pm. "Retreat" hangs in the gallery through August 10.

Explore Meredith's Wild Side
MEREDITH — 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, the landmark conservation bill that created a way for Americans to protect their most pristine wildlands for use by future generations. Wilderness protects open space, watersheds, natural soundscapes, diverse ecosystems and biodiversity. 110 million acres of wilderness areas are protected from coast to coast. The tradition of protecting wilderness dates back almost 100 years to the country's foremost conservationists — Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, and Aldo Leopold, to name a few — who recognized the need to set aside America's wild places.
To celebrate the anniversary of the Wilderness Act, come explore Meredith's Wild Side this summer. The Conservation Commission maintains Town Forests and Recreation areas throughout the town. On the western side are the Hamlin-Eames-Smyth Forests, within walking distance in the village is the Meredith Community Forest, and in the eastern section is the Page Pond and Sherman tract. An additional area of open space and trails is the Waukewan Highlands Community Park.
What can you do in the town forests and parks? Backpack, dog walk, bird watch, take wildflower walks, go rock-climbing, canoe, kayak, swim, picnic, conduct ecological research, lead educational trips. Enjoy the solitude. Or, as we say in the Conservation Commission: Just Go Take A Hike in Meredith!
Detailed trail maps are available at Meredith Town Offices, Public Library, Community Center and at the kiosks in parking areas at the conservation areas, or on line at: http://meredithnh.org/mcc.php.

Ashland Library Trustees Establish Building Fund
ASHLAND — The Trustees of the Ashland Town Library have created a Building Fund to address the space needs of the Town Library. For the past 75 years, the Library has been located in the Scribner Memorial Building, a 19th century house that was modified to serve the Library. The Library has now outgrown the space it occupies in the Scribner Building. As use of the Town Library increases, more space is needed for the collection, for patron usage, for computers, for programs and for staff work space. The Scribner Building also does not currently meet handicapped and life safety codes.
The Trustees believe that the Ashland Town Library needs a larger facility, that meets the current building codes and has room for larger collections of books, periodicals, videos and audio books, more computers for patrons (particularly those who cannot afford their own), enough tables and comfortable chairs for patrons, larger separate spaces for children and young adults, space for programs and meetings, and adequate staff work areas.
To meet the Library's space needs, the Trustees and Library Director have been considering various options, including renovation and expansion of the present building, purchase and renovation of an existing building, and construction of a new building. Last March, a warrant article to purchase and renovate the historic Ashland elementary school for a new library, by borrowing the necessary funds and having the property taxpayers pay for the entire project, failed at the polls. The Trustees are still inclined to think that using the former elementary school is the best solution for the Library's space problems, but they are open to other ways of solving those problems. Realizing that a solution will be expensive and will have to be funded at least in part by private donations, the Library Trustees have established the Library Building Fund to collect donations for a future building project, whatever form it might take, either using the old school or following an entirely different plan. Donations to the Ashland Town Library Building Fund can be mailed to the Library at PO Box 660, Ashland NH 03217, left at the Library, or paid by credit card though PayPal on the Library website, www.ashlandtownlibrary.org.
As a kickoff to the fund raising campaign, the Library will hold a free concert featuring popular musician Art Harriman on the Library lawn at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 17. Bring your own seating. Any donations to the Building Fund will be greatly appreciated.

I have a Legacy site that has an iframe in the page to run a JavaScript powered customer details update form.
if this form is used in IE versions less than 10 it works correctly, in IE10 it defaults to Browser Mode: IE10 and Document Mode:Quirks
I need to be able to force just this page and/or the embedded iframe to Browser Mode: IE10 Compat View and Document Mode: IE5 quirks
I could rebuild the entire update form but there is so much functionality and the entire legacy site should be (fingers crossed) replaced in about 3 - 5 months removing the issue. so until then I need a band-aid fix.
I have tried many meta compatibility tags but they only seem to effect the document mode. I need this to stay as Quirks or IE5 quirks otherwise other portions of the site get messed up.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I love you guys. You have a great selection with tons of pictures and updated rents. Thanks - I found the perfect place. — Jasmine W.


text: This will be our second trip (In October) to the world, and the second time using PhotoPass. It is well worth using and the pre-order price for the photo CD is great value. By value, we get to be in the same photos instead of one or the other, or taken by a stranger that may not know how to work your camera. It was in 2008 that we used PhotoPass last, is PhotoPass available on any of the rides now? And if yes, what is the procedure? Many thanks for any help and advice you can pass on..... Steve "The Tricky Twister"

Angel Wing Begonia, too much sun?
I bought this AWB a few weeks ago and I've kept it on the front porch where it gets only 2 hours of direct morning sun, and the temps are also cool at that time.
Look at the left 2/3rd's of the plant and see how it's lightening? The far right branches have that nice dark green color.
Should this be in full shade with no direct sunlight? Or maybe it needs fertilized?
I'm thinking about bringing it indoors because I love it.
Beautiful plant, and fascinating situation. I might leave it right there and see which side blooms better. But if you're not feeling experimental, and you like the darker green leaves better, scoot it back toward the shade a bit. Which way does your porch face, south?
Great porch, BTW! Is that Torenia to the left? What's going on behind it - Peony or rose maybe?
If the planting consists of more than one plant, it may be a genetic variation between the plants, or it could be related to a variation in care the individual plants received before they were combined in your planting. You should plan on fertilizing regularly for best results.
Purple, the porch faces north but the plant sits on the west side of it so it won't get much sun. The sun it does get is eastern sun from about 7am to 9am. I moved it for the picture.
Yes, that's Torenia you see, with Knockout Roses in the background. They've taken over the flowerbeds!
Tapla, I was wondering if there could be two different varieties planted.
I'll start fertilizing. Will it bloom in full shade?
It will bloom in full shade, but if it could tell you what it wanted, it would say it would appreciate morning and late afternoon sun. Actually, morning sun is more beneficial than late afternoon sun, but in any case, it needs protection from midday sun.
There's a new (at least to me) semi-pendulous begonia out called "Million Kisses" I bought 6 this year to incorporate into my mixed shade containers. So far, I'm really impressed with the bloom output, and the containers have only been put together since Memorial Day weekend ...... and it's been quite cool, too.
I was given one of these about 20 years ago as a cutting from a friend. One of my favourites. Being in a colder climate I treat them as a houseplant. By them I mean I have three large pots of them. They are really easy to root in water from stem cuttings so if you are nervous about yours, just cut off a few stem cuttings, remove lower leaves and put in water for a couple of weeks. New roots will form no problem. I find mine do best in a well lit room with just a splash of morning sun. If they ever get leggy from not enough sun, again take the stem cuttings to form new plants. No need for root starter, just put them in water.
