This procedure is done to treat obesity . Small incisions are made in the abdomen. An adjustable band is placed around the stomach with the aid of a tiny tool with a camera on it. The tube is called a laparoscope. The surgery causes weight loss by decreasing the amount of food that can pass into your stomach.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This surgery treats severe obesity. Body mass index (BMI) calculations are used to determine how overweight or obese you are. A normal BMI is 18.5-25.
This surgery is a weight loss option for people with:
The success of this surgery depends on your commitment and follow-up with your doctor. If lifestyle changes are made and maintained, the benefits of bariatric surgery include:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Long-term complications include vomiting and gallstones.
In some cases, the procedure may not result in weight loss. This may lead to removal of the band or the use of another bariatric procedure.
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
Each bariatric surgery program has specific requirements. You may have the following done:
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep for the surgery.
To prepare you for surgery, an IV will be placed. You may receive fluids and medications through the IV during the procedure. A breathing tube will be placed through your mouth and into your windpipe. This will help you breathe during surgery. You will also have a catheter placed in your bladder to drain urine.
Several small incisions will be made in the abdomen. Gas will be pumped in to inflate your abdomen. This will make it easier for the doctor to see. A laparoscope and surgical tools will be inserted through the incisions. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted tool with a tiny camera. It sends images of your abdominal cavity to a monitor in the operating room. Your doctor will operate while viewing the area on this monitor.
An adjustable round band is placed around the top of the stomach and fastened into place. This creates a smaller stomach area for food. Tubing is placed from the band to an access port in the abdominal wall. The band can later be adjusted with a special saline solution and needle syringe. The incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.
The breathing tube will be removed. You will be taken to the recovery area while the anesthesia wears off.
30-60 minutes
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 1-2 days. You may be kept longer if needed.
While you are recovering at the hospital:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You will need to practice lifelong healthy eating and exercising habits. Keep in mind after your surgery:
Your new stomach pouch will be the size of a small egg. It will be slow to empty. This will make you feel full quickly. Nutritional guidelines include:
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
Call for emergency medical services right away for:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Phoronix: Ubuntu 12.04 Desktops Impact Performance, Power Consumption
How does the choice of desktop environments you make for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS impact your system's performance and power consumption? Here's the latest round of benchmarking from the various Ubuntu 12.04 desktop environment choices -- Unity, Unity 2D, GNOME Shell, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and Openbox -- when running them on three different laptops.
For Christ's sake please use different colors. I have to try really hard to detect which is which: Xfce vs Gnome Shell vs LXDE:
I agree with the previous comment.
4 shades of blue, no orange, no pink, no grey...
Patches welcome to improve the color selecting algorithm... I guess there's limitations to the latest algorithm that was submitted by a Phoronix reader. Those interested can look inside pts-core/objects/pts_Graph/pts_Graph.php.
Michael Larabel
I'm just curious about it, since I never saw tests using really tiny wm or without it
Rather than just noting the capability, it would have been useful to benchmark KDE with unredirected fullscreen windows. Otherwise the numbers aren't useful - it's apples-to-oranges..

I would like to give some more explanation about the situation with Archlinux and Catalyst.
First of all, our current maintainer, Andreas Radke, is subscribed to AMDs beta mailinglist. He receives information and updates to the drivers before they go public. The mailinglist is very low traffic and almost no useful information is given. The driver updates that are announced on this list lately don't show much improvements in the driver itself, but rather "packaging improvements".
Without ugly workarounds that involves symlinking or editing a binary blob using perl or sed, it's not possible to make the current catalyst drivers working on a non-multilib distribution that doesn't ship /usr/lib64. Symlinking /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 is ugly, while the other solution involving editing the binary driver, violates the license agreement we have with AMD (we're not allowed to redistribute modified drivers). Setting LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH or LIBGL_DRIVERS_DIR environment variables as we did before no longer works with these drivers somehow, the DRI drivers are always loaded from a path where they shouldn't be installed.
Another point is the upcoming release of xorg-server-1.6. As X.Org maintainer on our distribution, I'm preparing the new release today, which means all previous drivers will stop working. All opensource drivers can be rebuilt, Nvidia's drivers can be updated to the latest versions for xorg-server 1.6 support, but AMDs catalyst has no support. There's also no word on upcoming support for xorg-server 1.6, so I guess we'll have to wait for Ubuntu's release again to get a leaked driver that has xorg-server 1.6 support just like when the previous version of Ubuntu was released.
These issues make maintaining a binary, non-free driver a task nobody wants to pick up. Andreas maintains this driver because nobody else in the development team wants to do it, or has the hardware to do it. Now that he's not willing to maintain it anymore, we want to hand it over to the people who have to use it: the community. This can be trusted users who can put binary packages in the community repository, or regular community users who can place this package in AUR as PKGBUILD.
We don't complain about the quality of the driver itself. As your article says, this driver has improved a lot over time. We're complaining about the information given to us as distribution.

YES! This Early Access stuff is actually worthwhile after all!
Update from Scott about Strobo:
"Hey He-Fans,
I know there is some concern about Strobo selling out fast. As we noted, he really is our "2013 traveling convention" figure, but as a special bonus we made a very small amount available during Early Access for sub holders. Strobo will still be available at Grayskull Con, Power-Con, NYCC and a limited amount in late fall on Mattycollector.com (much as we did for TOD Sorceress) so today was not the only opportunity to get Strobo.
See you at the cons!
Ooh ooh ooh! Early Access, baby!

oh boy... very interesting

Yeah! Strobo I wasn't expecting til later.
Fang Man, Keldor & Dr. Manhatten...sweet I get my own Blue Man group in March.

Glad to be a Subber! What a great haul in March! And Strooooooooooooobooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'm very excited.)
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Booya! And Keldor! I kinda regret picking him up when I had the chance on cyber Monday.
Strobo = awesome, no waiting all year like for Sorceress.
Fang Man - whoa, people are gonna light some torches.
That said, this is a clearly transparent scare tactic - have we EVER had next months sale revealed before this months even happened? I can't recall in my time here.
This is clearly being done to scare people into the Flmation sub, and I have a feeling that Fang Man will end up day of sale some time later this year. It just makes no sense for them to have only exactly made enough for sub holders.
I like Strobo...
Fang Man is only available through the sub! You can't buy him day off.

Strobo sweet! March is looking to be a great month for MOTUC!
Well, Strobo....I have a month to decide, and I may get an extra Mek for MOSC.

Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Check here for my My collection page, MOTU and more!
So it looks like Fang Man, along with King He-Man, are going to be the rarest figures in the line thus far, moreso than Fisto.
To be fair, they said this could happen last summer. Whether or not anybody thought this scenario would actually happen is another story, and not at all ToyGuru nor Mattel's fault. It's a tricky business decision, because this sends the message for 2014 AND for the Filmation sub "If you are serious about getting the figures you like, subscribe- otherwise you may end up with a gap in your collection."
I think sales of the 2014 sub are going to be all set come this summer... LOL!

Oh man I didn't even see that he won't be up for day of. Uh-oh.
Secondly while I need Keldor, it does suck I had to cherry pick the BF/CM sale & he was left out. Oh well at least I'll get him this time.

Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers Things I liked:This rifle is extremely accurate. With a .177 caliber, and blue ribbon SS1 2.5x7 scope, I was able to shoot approximately 200 feet accurately. I was shooting quarter size steel targets. I had no idea this rifle was that accurate. Incredible. Things I would have changed:The rifle is a bit heavy but what do you expect with a wooden stock. Not good for some kids... I hunted with a Diana RWS as an adolescent so these are still useable for older children. What others should know:Yeah. Buy this firearm(AIRGUN) and you wont need another.
Just for the record and to be completely accurate and to avoid confusion, airguns are not firearms. Firearms use an explosive powder to expel a projectile. Airguns do not. Things I liked:This well made precision German rifle is very accurate and sufficiently powerful. Not at all too difficult to cock, and hold while shooting. Things I would have changed:The only issue I experienced was the metal trigger guard loosened up relatively soon after finishing firing only 200 rounds of pellets. I had to use some Loc-Tite to keep the trigger guard firmly secure. Things I liked:The way it is put together - it oozes quality from every angle - and the way it performs. Things I would have changed:The stock - I wish they went back to the more expensive but more appropriate Monte Carlo stock design. What others should know:This gun is an example of workmanship and quality. It is superbly accurate, enough that you can use it in target competition. In 22 it delivers more power than the HW90, but with much greater accuracy, less noise, and more reliability. The trigger is superb. The barrel lock is extremely solid. The cocking effort is very reasonable. If only the stock comb were higher. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

It'd be too predictable if we said you'd have a whale of a time with Simon, so we won't. Instead, we'll just say that it was exclusively designed for us by artist Michelle Romo of Crowded Teeth, and it's a whale of a time. Wait, we just said we weren't going to use that phrase.

This is the only cordless inflator that automatically shuts off when it reaches a desired tire pressure. Ideal for inflating low tires during daytime or nighttime roadside emergencies—as well as inflatables, bicycle tires, and sporting equipment—the desired pressure is set using its digital pressure gauge, and operating similarly to a cordless drill, a squeeze and release of the locking trigger begins inflation. In just 90 seconds, it inflates a standard vehicle tire from 25 psi to 30 psi and a mountain bike tire from flat to 55 psi. In addition to cordless operation using its lithium-ion battery (recharges in three hours using the included AC adapter), it comes with an 11'-long car adapter that powers the inflator directly. It has an integrated LED that illuminates tire valves, a flexible 5"-long air hose tipped with a thread connector to ensure a proper seal with valves, and two included recreation ball and inflatable toy adapters. Includes travel bag. 12" L x 4 1/2" W x 9 1/2" H. (3 3/4 lbs.)

from Oakland, CA
I was a bit skeptical that this product would perform as described. It comes in a nice storage bag with all the accessories. I pumped my bike and car all within a few minutes. It works better and much faster than my large heavy duty and bulkier inflator. This would make a great gift.

Need A Tire Gauge
By RT
from Virginia
The automatic shut off is about 5-6 psi off. For example if you want your tire pressure at 32psi, you have to enter 38 psi. Which is disappointing as this was one of the features they promoted. Otherwise, the design and ease of use is good.

The "Air Jordon" of tire pumps
By Treadhead
from Fort Carson, CO
Wanted to use this to keep the proper air pressure in my car tires. Neither the box or instructions seem to suggest that it be used in this manner but to inflate toys and other items. Not sure if what I am using it for will have ill effects on either the pump or the battery. I just hope that the battery will hold a charge for a while. It seems a lot of other battery type fillers the battery will neither hold a charge or will die before toping off 4 car tires. Built in gauge is about three PSI over the true pressure.

Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator
By scootchn
from Los Angeles, CA
It is useful when not a large volume of air is required. Have only used it to top off slightly low tires and it worked well. Will have to wait and see about durability. Like that it can be pulled into the car and not rely wholly on battery.

Extremely Impressive
By Bob the Lad
from Louisville KY
I've used it on only one of our cars so far. No other tires have been low yet. I pumped up two tires. It was quick and very convenient to do this right in the garage. So far I am very satisfied with this product. To me it was one of those items that wows you when you see it and use it - like it was beyond expectations.

Cheap plastic housing, with balky on/off switch, but when working, it does inflate properly. No instruction manual. Needs quick disconnect not screw-on.

Traditional Finish Charlotte Molds
- Summary
Chuck Williams chose this mold on his first buying trip to France in 1959 – and it has been a favorite ever since for making charlottes luscious baked apple dessert that originated in 18th-century Britain. It is thought that the charlotte was named for Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III. The pan is equally suited to making a charlotte Russe, a 19th-century chilled variation made with Bavarian cream nestled in a ladyfinger shell.

- Flared sides simplify creating the bread or ladyfinger linings and releasing the finished desserts.
- The tin coating is nonreactive to acidic foods, and protects the pan from rust.
- The traditional heart-shaped handles simplify maneuvering and inverting the filled mold while adding a decorative touch.
- Also handy for preparing puddings, ice cream, aspic and individual cakes.
- Dishwasher safe.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 4" mold: 4" diam., 2 1/4" high; 13 1/2 oz cap.

Aston Martin to produce 150 Zagato V12s at US$530,000 each
Aston Martin's new V12 Zagato had quite a spectacular and busy few weeks following its first public showing on May 21 on the shores of Lake Como (Italy) at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este where it won the award for Design in the Concepts and Prototypes class. A week later, two identical prototypes finished fifth and sixth in their class at the Nurburgring 24 Hour race, verifying that the gorgeous handcrafted aluminium and carbon fibre machines were indeed capable of holding their own in any company. So began a period of what Aston Martin termed "overwhelmingly encouraging interest from customers" which has finally resulted in a commitment to a limited production run of 150 examples of the Zagato.

'Catfishing' is Real, Creates Real Victims, Say ExpertsWarning signs so you can protect yourself
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) -- It is the one love story you either believe or you don't. boy meets girl, girl dies, boy finds out girl never existed. Nevertheless, the South Carolina Consumer Affairs Department says catfishing is real and creates real victims. Here's what they say about you not becoming one.
"The best thing to do is try to avoid it," says SC Department of Consumer Affairs spokesperson, Juliana Harris. Like any fish you catch that doesn't seem right, Harris says throw it back before it bites you. "You can get swept away in matters of the heart but take a step back, think about it." She warns that the 'catfishing' internet scam, where someone pretends to be someone they're not and develops a relationship with an unsuspecting victim, can be avoided. Notre Dame star linebacker Manti Te'o claims it happened to him. Turns out, his online girlfriend, who supposedly died of Leukemia, never existed. He was reportedly devastated. Juliana Harris says watch out for 'the hook': The hook is playing on your sympathy. A lot to people want drama in their life and it they don't have any, they will fabricate it." The second thing to look out for is 'the catch': "If you're talking and things are great then they start asking for the money or personal info, check it out." She also admonishes if you're going to date online, do so where you live. That way, it's easier to actually meet and talk with the person face-to-face. If not, she says, you may realize, too late, that although there are plenty fish in the sea, there are sharks as well. Harris says her office gets about 100 scam calls per month. She believes there are more catfish scams than reported because people are too embarrassed to call. For for more information on how to protect yourself, go to www.scconsumer.gov or call 800-922-1594. |

CMH to host health expo in Hermitage Sept. 10
Low-cost health screenings available at HFMC
Area residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for the health expo at the CMH Hermitage Family Medical Center sponsored by Citizens Memorial Healthcare. The Sept. 10 health expo will be held from 7 – 10 a.m. The clinic is located at Hwy. 254 & Dallas in Hermitage.
Because blood screenings are offered at cost, CMH does not file insurance. The clinic accepts cash and check at health expo events. A lipid panel measuring the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides is available for $25. A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) includes testing for glucose, calcium, electrolytes and liver function for $20. Men may receive a Prostate Cancer (PSA) test for $30. A Thyroid Profile (TSH + FT4) test is available for $30, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test for $15, Protime (Pt) and INR test for $20 and a Hemoglobin AIC test is available for $20. Results are mailed in approximately 10 working days.
CMH encourages people to participate in the health expo to improve overall health, prevent disease and detect health problems early. In addition to the screenings, the health expo provides opportunities for people to obtain health education materials and learn about the prevention of diseases including cancer, heart disease and stroke, diabetes and chronic lung disease.
The results from the lipid panel are more accurate if participants refrain from eating or drinking (except water, black coffee or tea) for eight to 14 hours prior to testing and refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages three days prior.
The PSA screening does not require fasting, which is not recommended for known diabetics or hypoglycemics. Participants need to take their medication as directed because their medications will not alter their results. The tests are screenings only and are not intended to replace regular checkups with a physician or nurse practitioner.
For more information about the health expo, contact the CMH Information Center at 417-328-6010 or 888-328-6010.

Overview of content related to 'ontologies'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'ontologies'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
In computer science and information science, an ontology is a formal representation of knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, and the relationships between those concepts. It is used to reason about the entities within that domain, and may be used to describe the domain. Its meaning is vastly different from the word Ontology in philosophy. In theory, an ontology is a "formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualisation". An ontology provides a shared vocabulary, which can be used to model a domain - that is, the type of objects and/or concepts that exist, and their properties and relations. Ontologies are the structural frameworks for organizing information and are used in artificial intelligence, the Semantic Web, systems engineering, software engineering, biomedical informatics, library science, enterprise bookmarking, and information architecture as a form of knowledge representation about the world or some part of it. The creation of domain ontologies is also fundamental to the definition and use of an enterprise architecture framework. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Ontology)

Re: 1983 - Take a Look, It's In A Book
Holy lots of votes, batman! Thanks a bunch for your support of my ineffably feminine design, guys. It may be a bit of a pipe dream for it to win by now, but I'm surprised and happy about it's numbers, and would love to be surprised-er and happier. If you're on the fence, let me assure you that the design works as a pro reading shirt without needing to know the reference, showing the adventure which can come from opening a book. The adorable unicorn-based adventure. Also, to men who might pass by this shirt, I promise that if you're able to rock this, you'll be a total mack daddy. Also makes a great gift for the ladytype in your life! But you don't have to take my word for it! (ba-dum-DUM!)
Re: 1985 - Buckminsterfullerene (super geek version)
This shirt deserves to win, hands down. It takes a lot of work to reach this level of geekery, and I commend you!
Not only is there text, but I suspect that Tetris, in any similar form, would be copyrighted.

Re: 1982: Thriller 2
I loved the concept of the first one, but the design was too big for me so I left it alone. This one is perfect, and the first shirt I would buy three of I've seen on woot; I have friends who would love this so much. GMV!
Re: Hands Across America -- 1986
"On the afternoon of Sunday, May 25, 1986, almost seven million people joined hands to form a human chain that stretched 4,152 miles (6,682 km) – from New York City's Battery Park to a pier in Long Beach, California. This nationwide event, called Hands Across America, was intended to raise money to fight hunger and homelessness."
bluchez wrote:To All: Thanks for all the great comments. I am happy to get such nice feedback from everyone. Unfortunately, it is a woot derby fact that it is impossible to win with only positive comments. C'mon, someone has to hate my design ;).
i hate how the design may not be printed =(
AdderXYU wrote:Or, to break it down another way, "he has talent, but" is saying that talent shouldn't be a basis on quality. It is. You want fewer prints by an artist, you get other good artists. You want more Limes In Coconuts, you go to another site.
That's an excellent way to state the case. If someone says "he has talent," they should just stop - he has talent, and that's what matters. I disagree with that last statement though - Lime in the Coconut is a genious shirt. It's clever (in a "why didn't I think of that?" kind of way), it's simple and well-designed, it references a hilarious song - what's not to love?

Re: OJ Murder Trial, 1994
Goodness you're young. lol Sorry, though...there's no text allowed this week, even if you draw it.
Re: 1973
Woot will want to see it on a shirt, so you might want to slap the design on a shirt template and resubmit.
This was an awesome shirt before.... now it's absolutely perfect! I WANT THIS SHIRT!
Wow, a shirt depicting two cold-blooded mass murderers. How nice it would be to show our support not only for a system that necessitates subjugation and inequity, but also celebrates the two vicious tyrants that set up that system in Cuba.
Re: 1975 - Jaws scares moviegoers out of the water
I am a HUGE fan of sharks, so I'm automatically biased towards this lovely creation. I love how the shark was drawn, and the scene going on. I wish you the best of luck, and you've got my vote!

jenny78 wrote:So, you are saying he must stick to animals lest he not win the derby? I think Cho wins/places in the derby each week off his name alone. Talent or not, he has fans, loyal fans at that. That being said, I'm not denying he has incredible drawing skills, but I think he could enter anything at this point, and it would still win/place in every derby. It always does. Even if it's a design that isn't very wearable. People will vote/buy just because Cho drew it and Cho seems to have a lot of fans. AGAIN, I am not saying he isn't good at what he does. People are just a lot like sheep and follow the herd, in this case the majority. Sheeple.
Just FYI Jenny, Cho has had quite a few entries that did not win or place in Derbies...
Josephus wrote:It's an excellent shark. I'm a collector of shark shirts, I have about 15 or so. In the movie, I remember the woman swimming alone attacked by the shark, but I don't remember a scene like this, with a man swimming alone. There was a scene with kids in the water, but no-one alone like this. anybody?
Of course this is not depicting a scene from the film (which is copyrighted material). This is more a portrayal of our fears after watching the film.
Man, I personally like this shirt the best. I really like the old school orange stripes. I like the main colour as well.
Re: 1959: Ben-Hur

QFT. The derby is about the year you were born, and while woot obviously can't police our actual ages, it means that the year should be important. It means that any shirt with an incorrect date should be rejected for being off theme. Otherwise, why not just do a straight-up History theme?
Re: 1973 - Solar eclipse of the decade
I think I'd prefer the design with some kind of skyline to add some perspective, otherwise it kinda just looks like an orange circle on a black shirt. Its still way cool.
brizz wrote:uhm, because they were BORN in the 70s, they weren't exactly going to Sex Pistols shows...their formative cultural years were defined by John Hughes ;)
John Hughes is what drove me into punk music. It was the quickest route out of the 80's. The Ramones and The Clash got me through Cindi Lauper and Madonna. I thought we were all doomed until Nirvana came along...
Re: 1976 - The year I was made
um no. It has to be something relating to the year in which you were born, not the actual act of conception.

Give and Gain Day 2014
19 May 2014
,Last week, as part of Give and Gain Day 2014, we had 50 volunteers from the Lloyds Banking Group helping with a number of projects here at St Fagans. Some helped with the Gardening Department, some helped the Historic Buildings Unit while some assisted with a project alongside the Alzheimer's Society. Myself and Bernice had the help of 11 volunteers to build a dead hedge in the woodlands near the bird hide.
We had been planning on building a dead hedge in near the bird hide for a while, for a number of reasons. A dead hedge would act as a screen for approaching the bird hide, meaning that birds on the feeders would be less likely to be scared by the approaching visitors. A dead hedge also acts as a wildlife corridor, giving cover to a wide variety of wildlife as they move through the woodlands. Visitors had also begun cutting through the woodland, and one section of the dead hedge was to act as a deterrent meaning visitors would be more likely to stick to the paths.
The first task of the day was the sharpening of the fence posts. The posts are needed for structure and need to be driven firmly into the ground. Creating the sharp end obviously makes this much easier. After creating pilot holes, the poles were then driven into the ground using a sledge hammer. Once the posts were in place, we could then begin to assemble the dead hedge.
A dead hedge is built up of dead woodland material. Over the past couple of weeks I have been asking the gardeners and farmers here to help by collecting any trimmings and off cuts and delivering these to the bird hide for use in this project. Everyone was incredibly helpful, and we ended up with a vast pile of material… or so I thought. Dead hedging takes a lot of material, so along with some of the volunteers I headed into the woods to do a bit of clearing to gain more material.
After lunch, we headed up into the woods near the site of Bryn Eryr, the Iron Age farmstead currently being built. This area has previously been cleared so there was a lot of cut material for us to collect. This was loaded into a trailer and taken over to the bird hide. The afternoon finished with us using this material to finish the dead hedge. As an artistic final touch, we used some lime cuttings to add extra height and a certain je ne sais quois to the finished hedge.
As these pictures show, the day was a huge success! The weather could not have been better and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The 2 sections of dead hedge we wanted to build got done, and I've already earmarked some projects for future volunteers! The amount of work done in a day was incredible, it would have taken me and Bernice a lot longer to do without the help of the volunteers. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us and the other projects too!
Big Garden Bird Watch
31 January 2014
,Last weekend was RSPB's annual Big Garden Bird Watch, the world's largest bird survey! On Saturday I joined in the fun by making fat ball birdfeeders with some of the visitors to the museum. Inspired by the Big Garden Bird Watch, I spent a little time this week in the bird hide at St Fagans. Here are a few photos of what I saw…

Spooky Specimens!
8 November 2013
,On Wednesday 30th October, National Museum Cardiff came alive for a haunting day of Halloween fun. Curators (and witches!) from the Natural History department filled the main hall with spooky specimens from our collections to share with the public on a busy half term day.
The botanists made a real impression by opening up the Herbarium and creating a spooky graveyard of deadly plants. This was a real hit with the children who left repeating some of the delightfully ghoulish names to their parents such as "Stinking Hellebore!" and "Bloody Cranesbill!"
The Fungus table had a case of wonderful wax models where you could match each fungus with its creepy name, such as the Trumpet of Death, Scaly Tooth and Witch Heart. Children, and adults, could make their own fungus with the colourful modelling clay provided, creating some amazing new species!
Two witches stirred their potion in a cauldron alongside an eerie 'Herbs in Medicine and Magic' display. All Harry Potter fans would have immediately recognised the famous Mandrake, a plant often used in magic rituals due to its hallucinogenic properties, but there was no need for ear muffs as the real plant does not let out a fatal scream!
Marine and Mollusc curators put out an array of Halloween treats from ghost slugs and dead man's fingers to blood cockles and pumpkin snails. Visitors enjoyed being able to touch sea urchins, spiny oysters and star fish. The pickled cuttlefish and squid were a real treat and produced a great mixed response, from awe to disgust, from children and adults alike.
The giant bloodsucking mosquito model dominated the Entomology stand whilst a witch displayed a table of British bats, from the largest Noctule to the smallest Pipistrelle.
Geologists enticed visitors with 'fossils in folklore', including echinoderms that were thought to be 'fairy loaves', and 'dragon claws' that come from dinosaurs. Those brave enough stayed to see the 'Hell, Fire and Brimestone!' stand which revealed specimens of larva, ash and volcanic rocks.
The Open Day was underpinned with an educational trail provided by the Education department. The trail took children around all of the displays, answering questions on blood stained petals and thunder stones, fungal fingers and tails of worms, to name a few. It was an excellent way to get families involved and encouraged children to interact with the curators. The trail proved to be extremely popular with 170 families taking part.
For those who wanted to know more, there was a scary 'Dragons' tour in the Evolution of Wales gallery and two behind the scenes tours of the Biology and Geology collections.
The day was a real success with 3127 members of the public coming through the museum doors. So, if you didn't make it this time keep your eyes peeled on the 'What's On' guide for more upcoming Natural History Open Days throughout the year.

An experiment of bulbous proportions!
3 October 2013
,Hi! I'm Professor Plant and I'd like to welcome the six and a half thousand young scientists across the UK that are taking part in the Spring Bulb for Schools Investigation this year!
Twelve thousand bulbs will be planted and monitored as part of this long term climate investigation being co-ordinated at Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales. If there was a world record for the most people planting bulbs simultaneously, (in several locations) we could smash it!
All the bulbs have been counted up by our fantastic volunteers (see the pics) and are steadily being delivered to the 150 schools across the country. I'd like to welcome each an every pupil and teacher who will be working on this project!
- Take a look at the map to see where the bulbs are being sent across the UK
- If you haven't already received my letter please follow this link
- Before each bulb is planted, each pupil must also adopt their bulb and promise to care for it. If you want to know how see this link
If you are wondering where the bulbs came from and how they got to your school - please read then read on y friend Baby Bulb is going to explain:
"My bulb buddies and I come from a nursery plantation in Manorbier, near Tenby in Wales, it's called 'Springfields'. We didn't spring from the fields, but we were picked and loaded onto a van ready to go to our new homes. At first I was a little afraid, but then when I met Professor Plant at the Museum I understood that I would be cared for by a nice young person and that I have an important job to do. We have all been selected to help us understand how the weather can affect when my friends and I make flowers. My parents before me grew here too, Springfields have been growing us 'Tenby Daffodils' for about 25 years, and we are one of the two daffodils that are native to the British Isles".
Just a few weeks until planting now! I can't wait!

Beachwatch 2013 - a great success
24 September 2013
,On Saturday 21st September Amgueddfa Cymru ran their annual Beachwatch event. This involved fantastic family science activities in the morning attended by 41 members of the public and seven members of staff. Participants looked at strandline and rockpool animals and seaweeds as well as fossilised corals and snails. Inspired by the fossils and shells that they had seen, the children went on to create wonderful pieces of artwork using Plaster of Paris on the wet sand of the beach.
After lunch, the volunteers gathered to clean the beach and do a litter survey recording all the items they found. The beach clean was attended by 59 volunteers including many of the families from the morning activities.
The results will be sent to the Marine Conservation Society who will collect the data from this beach and hundreds of other UK beaches that were cleaned this weekend. As well as making the beach safer for people and marine life, the Marine Conservation Society also use the data to find out where beach litter comes from and contribute to marine conservation.
As you can see from the photo we found a lot of rubbish including 9 tyres, half a canoe and a traffic cone! A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers, Ogmore Beach now looks even more beautiful!

PHILADELPHIA -- This time, the Philadelphia 76ers put together a solid performance at home.
Jrue Holiday scored 26 points and the Sixers snapped a three-game home losing streak with a 99-93 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night.
Jason Richardson added 20 points for Philadelphia, which was coming off an embarrassing loss to Detroit. Thaddeus Young scored 14 and Nick Young finished with 12.
The Sixers (5-4) dropped the first two games of a five-game homestand to Milwaukee and the previously winless Pistons. They set a dubious mark against Detroit by shooting 29.8 percent from the field, the worst showing by any pro team in Philly since the Sixers' arena opened in 1996.
"That one hurt," Holiday said. "I know all of us here, even though Detroit isn't a bad team, you never want to be the one to have them get their first win. Knowing that, we didn't come out and play."
Paul Millsap led the Jazz (4-6) with 22 points. DeMarre Carroll added a career-high 17 points and Al Jefferson had 15.
"We knew they were going to come out with a lot of intensity," said Mo Williams, who had 12 points for Utah despite playing with an injured right thumb. "It was no surprise to us. We just fell short at the end."
Williams said he injured the thumb on his shooting hand on the first play of the game when it got tangled in Holiday's jersey.
The Jazz fell to 1-6 on the road, with the back end of consecutive games coming up Saturday at Washington.
"This team has a lot of pride," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "I never question that."
Philadelphia put together a 13-2 run to take an 84-73 lead midway through the fourth quarter. But Utah responded with a 9-2 spurt to pull within four with 2:53 left, making the most of aggressive play in the low post by Jefferson and Derrick Favors.
Holiday then converted a layup and Thaddeus Young hit a jumper for an eight-point cushion and the Sixers pulled away for a much-needed home win.
Before the game, injured Sixers center Andrew Bynum said he had suffered a "setback" in his return from a knee injury. Bynum said he now has swelling and a bone bruise on both knees and his target date of Dec. 10 for basketball activities is in limbo.
Bynum said he is still hoping for that December date, with one to four weeks of basketball-related activity to follow, pushing his much-anticipated Philadelphia debut to as late as mid-January.
That news didn't shake the Sixers, who still have home games coming up against Cleveland on Friday and Toronto on Tuesday.
Entering play on Friday, Philadelphia was 29th in the league in shooting percentage (40.1 percent) as well as scoring with an average of 88 points per game. It shot 46 percent (40 for 87) against Utah while beating its season scoring average.
"Anytime you get a win against a good team, it's huge," Richardson said. "You don't want teams coming in and feeling like they can beat you."
The Sixers led by as many as 12 points in the first half and took a 52-43 advantage into the locker room.
Game notes
The Sixers were 9 for 10 from the free-throw line. ... Carroll knocked down all six of his field-goal attempts, including one 3-pointer, and all four of his free throws. ... Millsap was 2 for 4 from beyond the arc, pushing his season 3-point total to 10 for 17.

Big gifts push Irene fund closer to goal
MONTPELIER A recent surge in donations has replenished the charitable fund created to help victims of Tropical Storm Irene recover from flood damage.
The Vermont Disaster Relief Fund has taken in more than $3 million over the last three months nearly as much as was raised during the first year of the funds existence.
Officials credit a strategic shift toward targeted fundraising solicitations after the one-year anniversary of the storm, which hit Aug. 28, 2011. Chris Graff, vice president of communications for National Life and a member of the funds board, said the tactic has yielded some larger-dollar donations, notably a $1 million gift from Burlington real estate magnate Tony Pomerleau.
Weve put together a much more strategic campaign in that were doing more one-on-one soliciting, whether its businesses or people of means, and showing them the unmet need thats out there, Graff said Monday.
The fund has taken in $6.6 million to date and is two-thirds of the way toward the $10 million that officials say is needed to bridge the gap between what government will provide in assistance and what victims actually need to get back on their feet.
Graff said the fund of last resort has paid out $2.4 million in grants to 223 people.
For a lot of these folks, were making it so they can get back into homes by making repairs or rebuilds they need to move back in, he said. Its everything from basement foundations to flooring to sheetrock, bathrooms, furnaces, hot water heaters, mold remediation.
The board opted to cap grants at $20,000, which Graff said will allow the fund to extend aid to the additional 600 families he expects to seek help in coming years.
Gov. Peter Shumlin celebrated the milestone at a reception Monday evening for high-dollar contributors as well as prospective donors. Shumlin said hes been among those pleading with would-be donors to open up their checkbooks.
There arent very many Vermonters that can give a million dollars, Shumlin said. But there are those who could write a check of $1,000 or $2,000. And those are the people we need to be reaching out to now.
With Superstorm Sandy taking center stage in New York and New England, Shumlin said its important to remind Vermonters that many of their own neighbors continue to struggle in the aftermath of Irene.
Our job now is to show the face of the Vermonters who are still struggling, and youre going to see us doing that in coming weeks as we enter this holiday season, Shumlin said.
A recent $800,000 gift from the Wisconsin-based Argosy Foundation helped boost the fundraising effort.
Graff said hes hoping that sales of Vermont Strong license plates will also edge the fund closer to its goal. The special-issue license plates have already generated more than $500,000 for the cause.
