British Columbia
(Lake Louise, Banff)
Enjoy the comfort of your rail car as the iconic Rocky Mountaineer gentles ascends the soaring peaks of the Rocky Mountains to reveal a scenic kaleidoscope of vast pine forests, reflective wilderness lakes and meandering alpine rivers.
Vancouver's beautiful coastal vistas and colorful neighborhoods are revealed in a stunning private tour of the city, and a day-trip to Whistler via the scenic 'Sea-to-Sky Highway' allows ample time to explore the exclusive ski resort. The Rocky Mountaineer whisks you through lush pine forests where reflective lakes mirror snow-capped mountains, and onto Jasper National Park, Lake Louise and Columbia Icefield where you'll ride to the middle of Athabasca Glacier on an Ice Explorer. The Spiral Tunnels and Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park await your visit, and you'll have a full-day to explore the picturesque mountain town of Banff and its gushing Bow Falls and pristine Lake Minnewanka, topped off with a scenic helicopter flight over the soaring peaks of the Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountaineer will take you into the wild heart of British Columbia to Kamloops and onto Vancouver through lush valleys and winding river canyons.
The world-famous Rocky Mountaineer is by far the best way to experience large tracts of western Canada's vast wilderness areas as the landscape changes from the desert interior of British Columbia to the alpine forests, crystal lakes and soaring peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Your experienced team of local guides and private drivers will lead you on a series of memorable wilderness expeditions and city tours that will reveal the best of this region, and you'll enjoy the night-time comfort of a range of superior hotels, elegant lakeside chateaus and luxurious alpine lodges.

[quote author="Mark Starr"]Of course Takaki doesn't agree with GVI's historical revisionism because it is not true. I haven't read Takaki's book, though I'll probably get around to it someday. I have, however, read Richard Rhodes' Pulitzer Prize-winning The Making of the Atomic Bomb, page 640 of which I now quote from:
On the short list of targets for the atom bomb, in addition to Hiroshima, Kokura and Niigata, was the Japanese city of temples, Kyoto. When the expert on Japan, Professor Edwin O. Reischauer, heard this terrible news, he rushed into the office of his chief, Major Alfred MacCormack, in a department of the Army Intelligence Service. The shock caused him to burst into tears. MacCormack, a cultivated and humane New York lawyer, thereupon managed to persuade Secretary of War Stimson to reprieve Kyoto and have it crossed off the black list.
Truman's statements are well known, and actually prove my assertion that Hiroshima was not an act intended to kill civilians for its own sake, but rather to save lives in the long run.
And sorry, Mark, but I'll take the word of Pulitzer-winning historian over yours any day.

The NBA s relocation and finance committee met Monday by conference call, two days before the league s Board of Governors decides whether to allow a group led by Chris Hansen to buy the Sacramento Kings and move them to Seattle. It comes days after Hansen made a bold increase to his offer.
An NBAspokeperson said We have no comment on today's call.
The seven members of the relocation arm of that committee voted unanimously last month to recommend against moving the team, but that was before Hansen increased his offer by $75 million to a total of $625 million last Friday.
A Sacramento-based group has offered a competing bid.
The NBA has said a bidding war will not determine the outcome of whether the team stays in Sacramento or moves to Seattle. But, sources say the Maloof family has told the NBA three times that it will not sell to the Sacramento group.
The Maloofs have agreed to a back-up bid from the Hansen group that would allow them to buy 20 percent of the team for $116 million. The deal would allow the Maloofs to continue to run the club.
When all 30 NBA owners meet in Dallas Wednesday, at least 23 of them must approve the sale, but only 16 of them need to approve relocation.

text: Justin O. Milligan, from Santa Rosa, CA, shares his story of overcoming shame with the courage to change his lifestyle as our 3rd submitter to our Care, Dare, Act Aware story collection! "Back in 2005, when I drove my car all I could think of was that my travel came at the terrible cost of destroying our planet. During that time I was miserable about it. My job required me to drive. I was making money, but felt I was destroying the Earth to do so. In 2006 I met my future wife in San Francisco at a birthday party. Of course, I had to drive there. Though my passion for my future wife extinguished my shame for a while, before long that driving angst returned. I had to take action.Today, I have reduced my footprint! I rarely drive, do not own a car, have an Undriver License (Undriving.org), take public transportation (busses, trains, taxis, Zipcars, car rentals, etc.), shop locally, travel by bike (I think I am called what is in the common jargon, a Townie), buy organic, share my thoughts of conscious living whenever appropriate, write to my representatives demanding environmental action, reuse plastic bags, use reusable shopping bags, pay for my carbon output (carbonfund.org), and more! I no longer live in shame.Without a doubt, I would not have attained my momentum without my wife's influence. I remember when Maria suggested we pay for our carbon output resulting from our wedding in the redwoods. I think I groaned, then made a face, and then said something like, "how can we afford that?!" Turns out that it is not such a burden. Taking action to better our environment, to reduce pollution and to think of ways to live better not only makes me feel good about myself, but it is good. We can make a better world by doing our part not matter how small." Very inspiring Justin, thanks for sharing and inspiring others! https://www.facebook.com/justin.o.milligan

Midday. By midday, the sun is at its hottest. A Samaritan woman comes to the well to fetch water and finds a stranger sitting there—a Jew. He speaks to her. He asks her for a drink. A single Jewish man talking to an un-chaperoned woman! And a Samaritan at that! Doesn't he know the rules?
That was probably what a lot of people in that area thought when they saw Jesus talking to the woman at the well. But Jesus didn't often follow the rules. Throughout his ministry, he showed a special regard for women. Women were among his followers (Luke 8.1–3). They came to listen to him (Matthew 15.38). They supported him—even when his closest followers, men, had deserted him (Mark 14.50). He rewarded their faith (Matthew 9.20–22). Jesus gave women a value and attention that was radically different in the socially rigid hierarchies of first-century Israel. Why? Because the water of life was for everybody. Of that, Jesus was certain.
In some parts of the world, women are denied education and employment, status and respect; some are little more than slaves. But Jesus came to remind them of their beloved status. Those who trust him are his children, and therefore worthy of respect.
How did Jesus show his concern for the woman at the well? How did the woman respond to Jesus' offer of living water? What does her response tell you about her thirst?
Consider the women among your family and friends. What are their goals and dreams? How can you lead them to the Lord and support them in their goals? Also, think about contributing your time and resources to aid oppressed women in other countries. Pray: Lord, you created every person in your image and you've given each of us special gifts. Help us to value ourselves and one another. Help us to ensure that no one is denied a chance to contribute to the great work of loving and serving you.
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
Jesus left Judea and started for Galilee again. This time he had to go through Samaria, and on his way he came to the town of Sychar. It was near the field that Jacob had long ago given to his son Joseph. The well that Jacob had dug was still there, and Jesus sat down beside it because he was tired from traveling. It was noon, and after Jesus' disciples had gone into town to buy some food, a Samaritan woman came to draw water from the well.
Jesus asked her, "Would you please give me a drink of water?"
"You are a Jew," she replied, "and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink of water when Jews and Samaritans won't have anything to do with each other?"
Jesus answered, "You don't know what God wants to give you, and you don't know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would ask me for the water that gives life."
"Sir," the woman said, "you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this life-giving water? Our ancestor Jacob dug this well for us, and his family and animals got water from it. Are you greater than Jacob?"
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again. But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again. The water I give will become in that person a flowing fountain that gives eternal life."
The woman replied, "Sir, please give me a drink of that water! Then I won't get thirsty and have to come to this well again."
Jesus told her, "Go and bring your husband."
The woman answered, "I don't have a husband."
"That's right," Jesus replied, "you're telling the truth. You don't have a husband. You have already been married five times, and the man you are now living with isn't your husband."
The woman said, "Sir, I can see that you are a prophet. My ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say Jerusalem is the only place to worship."
Jesus said to her:
Believe me, the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem. You Samaritans don't really know the one you worship. But we Jews do know the God we worship, and by using us, God will save the world. But a time is coming, and it is already here! Even now the true worshipers are being led by the Spirit to worship the Father according to the truth. These are the ones the Father is seeking to worship him. God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
The woman said, "I know that the Messiah will come. He is the one we call Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
"I am that one," Jesus told her, "and I am speaking to you now."
The disciples returned about this time and were surprised to find Jesus talking with a woman. But none of them asked him what he wanted or why he was talking with her.
The woman left her water jar and ran back into town, where she said to the people, "Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! Could he be the Messiah?" Everyone in town went out to see Jesus.
While this was happening, Jesus' disciples were saying to him, "Teacher, please eat something."
But Jesus told them, "I have food you don't know anything about."
His disciples started asking each other, "Has someone brought him something to eat?"
Jesus said:
My food is to do what God wants! He is the one who sent me, and I must finish the work that he gave me to do. You may say there are still four months until harvest time. But I tell you to look, and you will see that the fields are ripe and ready to harvest.
Even now the harvest workers are receiving their reward by gathering a harvest that brings eternal life. Then everyone who planted the seed and everyone who harvests the crop will celebrate together. So the saying proves true, "Some plant the seed, and others harvest the crop." I am sending you to harvest crops in fields where others have done all the hard work.
~ John 4:3-38 ~

Comments about Wasp Trap:
I have used these for years, anywhere there are flying bugs, even wasps, mosquitos and flies. The success depends on the bait you use - add some rotten meat to tomato juice; yuck, but that's the best recipe I've seen. Place them away from where you want to be. If you care about being humane, it isn't. The bugs fly around inside, trying to get out, until they die. There is no poison to kill them quickly. You might get stung trying to empty it, so be certain they are all dead first. At a certain point, bugs seem to sense that their relatives are in there, so you'll have to empty it, or toss and replace it. Where I live, Seattle, I hang 3-4 around the yard in the spring, and toss them in the fall.

In short, making your own cleaning products will save you money and help you to create a healthier and cleaner environment within your home. Vinegar is a safe alternative to the petrochemical detergents that most household cleaning products contain these days. Such chemicals can make their way into our air, water, and even our bodies when they evaporate. This can aggravate allergies, headaches, irritability, and toxicity within your home. Natural cleaning agents help reduce these conditions and help you maintain a home free of hazardous waste.

WILSON, N.C. - Pfeiffer University completed a Conference Carolinas weekend sweep of Barton on Sunday afternoon claiming a 5-3 victory at Nixon Field. Late, timely hitting and solid pitching once again move the Falcons to 16-24 overall, 10-6 in league play while the Bulldogs slide to 15-19, 6-12.
Tied at three entering the eighth, Pfeiffer's Izzy Perez blasted a solo shot to left on the second pitch of the inning to put the visitors up 4-3. In the ninth, Jacob Yates would begin the frame with a single to right and later swipe second. After a Barton pitching change, Yates would advance to third on another stolen base and score as the ensuing throw ended up down the left-field line.
Pfeiffer would get on the board initially in the fourth on a bunt single by Kyle Hackney before Barton scored two in their half of the inning to take a one-run lead. A Cole McGraw homer in the fifth tied it at 2-2 before a Kevin Price single to right put the Falcons up 3-2. Barton would add their third and final unearned run in the seventh to setup the comeback for Pfeiffer in the eighth and ninth.
McGraw would finish the day 3-for-4 with a RBI and run scored while Perez and Hackney each gathered two hits. Ethan Greene would pick up the win in relief of Josh Branch who through the first six innings with a pair of unearned runs and two strikeouts. Greene would toss the seventh while Jeff Barkley picked up his sixth save of the season facing Barton's final five batters in an inning and two-thirds fanning two.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Tuesday night traveling to UNC Pembroke to battle Armstrong Atlantic in non-conference action before hosting King over the weekend in Conference Carolinas action.

MARK KEOHANE writes that Heyneke Meyer's failure to include Elton Jantjies in the Bok match 23 cannot be excused or justified.
Meyer's got this one wrong on every level. A coach lives and dies by his selections but the failure to recognise the merits of Jantjies as a player is made even worse because of the obvious issues surrounding transformation – and the illusion that qualifies for transformation in South African rugby.
I don't want a numbers game with the national team. I am opposed to quotas because it does a disservice to the merits of selections and especially casts doubt on any black player. Jantjies should not have been included because of his skin colour. He is a merit selection in the match 23 and many would make an argument for him to start ahead of Pat Lambie.
The argument that Jantjies was the player in possession of the No 10 jersey can't be dismissed without examination. Jantjies played the last 50 minutes against the All Blacks and now can't make the match 23?
Meyer's loyalty to Morne Steyn is a weakness in the context of the Boks in 2012. Meyer is doing himself no favours and he certainly is doing Steyn even fewer favours.
I've always felt Steyn would make a contribution to the Boks, this season, and in the lead in to the World Cup, but his form doesn't warrant inclusion at the moment and he is a player drained by being overplayed at every level every for the past four seasons.
Meyer is failing to recognise this. Steyn, so in need of a proper break, should not have been on tour. What he offers the Boks is a known entity. Meyer will learn nothing new from Steyn should he play against Ireland. Steyn will not be wiser or more experienced for getting a cameo role against the Irish.
Meyer had the ideal opportunity to evolve the balance of the match 23, to improve the experience of a player like Jantjies and to provide an opportunity for him. All he has done is insult him.
I don't care what spin anyone attempts to put on it there is no way this selection of Steyn ahead of Jantjies can be defended. It's not only conservative it's bloody disturbing, given the issue of transformation and the lack of national recognition for players like Jantjies and centre Juan de Jongh, who consistently have been among the best in their positions in the country.
De Jongh, the player to provide the inspirational and crucial moment in Western Province's Currie Cup final win against the Sharks, must know now he isn't rated as the go to guy. He couldn't have made a more telling case for inclusion, yet he lost out.
So too Jantjies for Steyn.
It's crazy when you consider it also comes at a time when the Saru administration has given itself a pat on the back that 'this time after 20 years of unity' they want to show genuine commitment to transformation.
I can't believe the president and CEO of Saru did not guide Meyer on this one. Surely they must have had a whisper in his ear and said 'No Heyneke. There's nothing to gain here and everything to lose'. Clearly they didn't or Jantjies rightfully (on merit) would have at least been in the match 23.
It tells me Meyer is blinded by his belief in Steyn because of a provincial affiliation and it also tells me that the game's leaders have again failed transformation.
This is not about picking a player because it will appease the politicians. This is not about window-dressing. This is about common sense in the context of South African rugby and transformation and more pertinently it is about common decency in relation to the talents and selection merits of the player.
Just imagine Steyn, given his form this season, was a black player. Imagine what so many would be saying if a black Steyn was in the match 23 on Saturday.
There was a time when the absolute racial prejudice within South African rugby appalled me, but now it just saddens me because it is so inherently engrained when no wrong can be seen in the performances this year of Steyn and no right can be seen in those of Jantjies.
What price then for change when it can't come naturally and from within? Actions make a statement more powerful than any spoken or written word. Meyer in Dublin was in an all-win situation given the talents of Jantjies and his form this year.
I am mystified he opted for an all-lose selection of Steyn, given what he has produced at Test level this year, but I am dumbfounded that Meyer – in his choice of player and explanation to the media and rugby people of South Africa – obviously believes Steyn is an all-win situation.
Meyer says he needed an insurance policy in the form of Steyn. Why?
This isn't a World Cup final. This isn't the final of anything.
Meyer talks of insurance policies in picking an out-of-form goal-kicker who this season averaged a less than 60% goal-kicking strike rate in seven successive Tests and in two of those missed goal kicks that would have won South Africa both Tests.
Would Jantjies have been given seven successive Tests in 2012 for Steyn's return this season?
Springbok rugby in 2012 needs inspiration and innovation. It certainly does not need a dated and questionable insurance policy.

Research Summary
I conduct research in computational biology and bioinformatics to analyze functional and clinical data linked to human diseases, with a particular focus on skin cancer and mechanisms of substance abuse. Text-mining algorithms are used for extracting molecular and phenotypic data from the research literature to generate models of molecular and clinical processes. Such models guide the identification of disease-related genes or pathways from high-throughput functional data. An important area of research is the mapping of genetic information to molecular interaction networks for pinpointing disease genes in human multifactorial disorders.
Extensive Research Description
Research in biomedical informatics/computational biology. Analyzing molecular networks to identify disease pathways / drug effector pathways for toxicity prediction. Using natural language processing (NLP) techniques to extract problem-specific information from scientific articles or medical reports.

Fabulously Fun Retake
Fabulously Fun Retake10/11/11| Rebecca Collegio"More pees!" More pees!" my two year asks. The first day we had this book I think daddy read it like five times before our kiddo allowed him to put it down. I thought my little guy would be a bit young for this book but I was terribly wrong. He loves it. He loves it so much he's requested it to be read almost every day for over a month.
Chicken Big is a fabulously fun retake on the Chicken Little tale. The illustrations are reminicent of a comic strip with word bubbles popping up here and there animating these crazy little chickens. It starts off, "On a teeny little farm, in an itty-bitty coop, a very small hen laid a big, humongous egg...out popped a big, humongous chick." However, the little chickens couldn't figure out what on earth this humongous thing could be and wouldn't allow him in their coop. Throughout their sad attempts in figuring out what he was (an elephant, squirrel, umbrella, etc.) and fear and frantic reaction to things like acorns dropping, rain and wind, he managed to shelter, protect and enlighten them. At the end of the tale, the big humongous chick saves the day and the nutty little chickens realize that, "Only one thing could be so smart, so kind, so warm, and so brave..."
There are numerous lessons you can pull from this delightful book; not judging someone by how they look, empathy, character, life cycle of a chicken, weather, seasons and science, etc. This would be a great present for kids 2-8 yrs old (probably closer to 4-8 but my 2 year old LOVES this story). It's a fantastic fun read-a-loud and one of my kiddo's new favorites.
fresh story about the barnyard
fresh story about the barnyard10/11/11| Kirsten CutlerGraves, Keith. Chicken BIG. Chronicle Books. 2010.
The rooster and chickens do not know what to make of "a big humongous chick" born one day on their farm. "What is it?" asked the rooster. One chicken declares, "It's big!" A "smaller chicken" declares, "It's enormous!" while a third chick that is the smallest of the three declares, "It's an Elephant!" Now the "big humongous chick" takes umbrage at these characterizations, and says, "I don't feel like an elephant". Adapting elements of Chicken Little, this wacky story contrasts the deadpan comments of the chick with the silly remarks of the three chickens and the rooster. After an object falls from a tree and hits "the smallest chicken on the head" and the chick identifies the object as an acorn, the rooster comments, "I don't think elephants eat acorns", and the three chickens think and decide that maybe the "big humongous chick" is actually a squirrel, and of course, the "big humongous chick" questions that identification. A raindrop hits the "smallest chicken" on her head, and she cries, "The sky is leaking! We'll all drown! Run for your lives!" The "big humongous chick reassures the chickens and rooster that what's falling is just rain, and tells them they can all shelter under his wings: so now the silly chickens and rooster decide that the "big chick" cannot be a squirrel but must instead be an umbrella: this delightfully humorous pattern continues. The illustrations are comical and filled with amusing details and expressions that convey wholeheartedly the antic theme of this fresh story about the barnyard: a wonderful book for a raucous story time.
A Very Funny Fable
A Very Funny Fable10/11/11| Diana RogersChicken Big is a great read-aloud book for all ages. I love Chicken Big! I am impressed with the author's writing and story telling. I think he is pure genius. Keith Graves mentioned that his grandpa read stories to him each night in his bio. First I began reading this delightful children's book in one sitting and howled aloud. As a grandma, it was pure delight to read this winning book to my grandson who giggled with glee and then my husband overheard the story and chuckled as well.
The story starts with the main character, a really big chicken called Chicken Big who was born from a hen egg. The story line moves along with other not-so-smart chicken character's being introduced from the chicken community who are trying to figure out just what this enormous someone really is. Perhaps he's an elephant. At any rate, Chicken Big is just too big to fit into their group so they boot him out.
Soon all the little chickens are clucking with excitement (you know how they get) and seem to be alarmed that all of their chicken eggs have been stolen by a sly red fox. No worries, this story has a very happy ending because Chicken Big saves the day and happily is accepted in the chicken community. There is definitely room for this big dude in their coop!
Charming book with great pictures and humor, plus a classic fable. It's great to laugh, too. ***** stars. I highly recommend Chicken Big to kindergarten-5th grade teachers, parents of little ones and then to all precious grandparents who love those endless laughing moments of complete hysteria, entertainment with education, for sure with their grandchildren. (Makes a great gift book, too).
Chicken BIG
Chicken BIG10/11/11| Jean HallChicken BIG by Keith Graves is a hilarious hyperbolic take on the old favorite Chicken Little.
Graves has turned the classic Chicken Little on its head by introducing a big, humongous chick into a family of, shall we say, less than brilliant chickens. As I turn the pages these funny looking, funny talking chickens keep trying to figure out what kind of critter this enormous, fluffy yellow thing really is. (BOK!) They are not being very successful. As, the big chick patiently waits for the truth to dawn on the family members he becomes their guardian. His reactions to his odd family shine through the great facial expressions Graves created.
To quote the flap, "Little by little, his kindness and brave rescue...prove to the silly chickens that he is really one of them."
For the kid who feels out-of-place or less than socially accepted (And which kid hasn't at some time?) Chicken BIG will be a light-hearted way to put the problem into perspective, I think.
I can see my grand children (the five year old, the eight year old, AND the thirteen year old) laughing themselves silly as they enjoy the outrageous illustrations and goofy antics in this book. It's adolescent humor with a message, folks. "Everybody needs to belong."
Great Read-Aloud!
Great Read-Aloud!10/11/11| Pam TeeKeith Graves is kind of a brilliant guy. I mean he wrote a story that's not only a great read-aloud but which had my two children and myself racing to the end to see what happened.
The story begins with an 'EGG BIG' being laid. Out of it pops a really huge chick. He's so large in fact that the other chickens don't recognize what he is. They stand around using various modifiers that mean BIG until the Smallest Chicken, who isn't "the sharpest beak in the flock", exclaims that Big Chick must be an elephant.
The chickens then more-or-less come to the conclusion that an elephant doesn't belong in a coop, and they shove the oversized chick outside. Things might have gone badly from there except that the next day there's an incident with an acorn. The Smallest Chicken gets bonked on the head, panics, and sends the others running -- for don't ya know, the sky is falling. They are in a serious tizzy until Big Chick calmly points out that there's nothing wrong and that it's only an acorn falling from the tree, the way acorns do. Big Chick then announces that acorns are tasty, which is quite unfortunate because the silly chickens then conclude that Big Chick must be a squirrel, because in their tiny minds they associate squirrels with acorns.
The rest of the book proceeds with similar funny misidentifications as the chickens keep identifying a single act with a particular critter or item. Dryness with Umbrellas, and Warmth with Sweaters, for example.
The artwork in "Chicken Big" is great fun. The expressions on the birds are priceless.
I really like that this isn't some vacuous story. There are actually some real good ideas to consider here.
After we read the book through twice in a row, we talked about where the chickens had gone wrong. That they had jumped to conclusions without enough information. It was an opportunity for me to give my 'scientific method' and 'logic' pitch. After which we talked about how we should give others a fair chance before labeling them based on how they look.
Don't worry though if your children are younger. "Chicken Big" is a great read-aloud and they'll enjoy it for the zany characters and artwork.
For teachers who want to add it to their classrooms, or parents looking for a book for their children to practice reading, "Chicken Big" is written at the 2.7 AR level.

Chicken Big
Chicken Big10/11/11| Shirley DukeIn a witty retelling of the Chicken Little story, Keith Graves' art, narrative text, and sly dialogue evokes the original fable but presents the story in a brand new way. The book combines graphic style elements with traditional text which results in a funny, unpredictable story for children.
Chicken Big emerges from a humongous egg and is so big nobody can tell what he is. Great fun ensues as the other chickens try to decide on what kind of thing he is, and readers will identify with the humor, the good-natured patience of Chicken Big, and with his not fitting in but wanting to. When Chicken Big ends up saving the day, the silly, smallest chicken, a source of the funniest dialogue, finally figures it all out.
The satisfying ending brings the chickens and the story full circle. Kids should have a good time predicting what they chickens will come up with next, and giggles are sure to abound when this story is read.
Chicken BIG is Humongously Entertaining
Chicken BIG is Humongously Entertaining10/11/11| Briana GoetzenThis book stood the test of a group of children ages 3, 4, and 5. They laughed, they called out "No!" at the silly questions in the story line, and they felt empathy for the big, humongous chick. This book has it all: a great plot, elements of education, silliness, and lessons in cooperation and empathy. The child in your life will love it!
Chicken Enormous (among other things!)
Chicken Enormous (among other things!)10/11/11| Shana FieldsIn it, 4 little chickens contemplate what the big chicken is. They think he might be an elephant (because he is big), a squirrel (because he likes acorns), an umbrella (because he can protect them from rain), etc but (of course), the eventually realize that he is in fact, a chicken (because "only ONE thing could be so smart, so kind, so warm, and so brave.")
My 3 year old son loves the funny chicken sounds "Buk Bok! Bok! Aaaaawk! Awk!" making it fun to read (if you like making funny sounds) and he repeats a few phrases from the book that he thinks are funny. He also loved learning the words "enormous" and "humongous." But I would have to say that our favorite parts of the book are the back cover (which we have to read at least twice every time we read the book) and the page before the title page ("What should we call this book? How about Chicken Kind of Large! OR ... Chicken Tall! No, no, no. CHICKEN SALAD!"). It really sets the tone of the book, introduces you to all the characters and makes the story even more fun. This book definitely will make you smile.
My Son's new favorite book.
My Son's new favorite book.10/11/11| Cortney HeimerlKeith Graves may have won the title of my new favorite children's author with this book, Chicken Big. It is a tale of crowd mentality and mistaken identity in an itty-bitty chicken coop on a teeny little farm. The story begins with an enormous egg that begins to hatch. With the many chicken opinions clucking around the flock, an unfortunately large chick becomes an outcast as they attempt to figure out what exactly he is because he is obviously too big to be a chicken! The flock is comprised of ridiculously opinionated characters and as the giant chicken continues to save them time after time, their guess of what he could be changes from an elephant to a sweater in a hilarious spiral.
The illustrations are beautifully hand-drawn with a loose, comic book design complete with exclamatory bubbles exclaimed by the chickens - RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!! Basically, this book is fun to look at, fun to read and a funny, lovely story for anyone with an affinity for a fantastically odd parable.

Goals: Europa Multiple Flyby Mission is a concept under study by NASA that would conduct detailed reconnaissance of Jupiter's moon Europa and would investigate whether the icy moon could harbor conditions suitable for life. The mission would perform a detailed investigation of Europa using a highly capable, radiation-tolerant spacecraft that would perform repeated close flybys of the icy moon from a long, looping orbit around Jupiter.
The possible payload of science instruments under consideration includes radar to penetrate the frozen crust and determine the thickness of the ice shell, an infrared spectrometer to investigate the composition of Europa's surface materials, a topographic camera for high-resolution imaging of surface features, and an ion and neutral mass spectrometer to analyze the moon's trace atmosphere during flybys.
Accomplishments: This mission is a concept being considered for further development.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I love my new personalized stationary! The whole process was great. I did play with font and color combos other than what the online sample was, but then I realized I loved the color combo and font they displayed, so I decided to do that and not alter. I now have my stationary to write and send personal notes to friends near and far, which was a goal of mine to get back into pen to paper correspondence. Thanks, MagnetStreetWeddings!
intricate details!
First of all, I love this design...so chic and fancy! The paper quality is divine...nice and thick with a beautiful interior design to the card (a thoughtful feature). The problem was that I selected a font that was too fine...I should have selected a font that was thicker as it is somewhat hard to read. But I love the colors and the overall design. I cannot wait to send them out as thank you notes and "hello!" cards!
Simple and Classic.
Wonderful cards. High quality cards that are perfect for any reason we want to send a note.

Hooker Adriaan Strauss is the only injury concern as the Springboks prepare for their next Rugby Championship Test against the Wallabies this weekend.
The Springboks have settled in Perth after departing from O.R. Tambo International Airport on Saturday. They have also been boosted by the arrival of Bath-based flank Francois Louw, who joined the team on Monday after a flight from England.
As the Boks carry out their midweek preparations, there is one injury concern ahead of this Saturday's clash. Strauss is struggling with a knee injury and will be monitored over the next couple of days.
'The only injury concern is Adriaan, who's got a mild knee ligament sprain,' said Bok doctor Craig Roberts. 'We will assess him later in the week and will make a call on his availability depending on how he goes through training in the next couple of days, but apart from that I'm happy to report we have a fit squad and are ready to go.'
This will be a worry for head coach Heyneke Meyer, considering hookers Bismarck du Plessis and Chiliboy Ralepelle have already withdrawn due to injury in recent weeks.
However, Meyer stressed that the Boks will have enough back-up options should Strauss fail his fitness test.
'We have a few hookers on standby [in Tiaan Liebenberg and Craig Burden], but we have a very good medical team and I'm positive we'll get Adriaan through. We have travelled with three hookers, so should be fine for the first game.'

|2004 Telethon Nets $4,136,401!
2004 Telethon Nets $4,136,401!
(June 6, 2004) St. Petersburg, FL – The 2004 All Children's Hospital Telethon today recorded another resounding success, raising a grand total of $4,136,401 for the region's referral center for specialized pediatric care. This year's Telethon theme, "Building Miracles…From the Inside Out" kicked off a fundraising campaign to build a bigger, better All Children's Hospital, with room for individual patient rooms and state-of-the-art technology to provide "little miracles" with the specialized care they need every day. Stories of youngsters from throughout west central Florida who have benefited from All Children's care were the highlight of the 21st annual fundraiser.
In its 78-year history, All Children's Hospital has grown to become a regional referral center for the highest level of pediatric specialty care and one of the top 20 children's hospitals in the nation. The Hospital's mission also includes a strong commitment to teaching and research through its partnerships with the University of South Florida and the Children's Research Institute. All Children's regional reach has spurred the creation of outreach facilities in six west central Florida counties. Community support made such growth possible. Today's amazing toteboard total pushes the cumulative total of 21-years of Telethon donations to more than $49-million. It will also help fund the construction of a new hospital and outreach center with nearly a million square feet of space on the downtown St. Petersburg campus. Groundbreaking on the new hospital is planned for 2005, with a projected completion date in 2007.
The annual Telethon was broadcast live from All Children's Education and Conference Center on WFLA-TV News Channel 8 from Saturday, June 5 at 8:30 PM through Sunday, June 6 at 6:30 PM. The event was also broadcast on WTVK/WB-6, the WB affiliate in the Ft. Myers/Naples area.
In addition to the Telethon, three other special events also took place over the weekend to benefit All Children's Hospital. Money raised from the individual events was included in this year's $4,136,401 total.
The Taste of Pinellas raised more than $200,000 for the hospital over the course of three days. Now in its 18th year, the annual food festival generated record dollars. A stellar line-up of headline music acts including REO Speedwagon, Kenny Loggins and Eddie Money drew record crowds to Vinoy Park on the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront, thanks to a cooperative effort with Ruth Eckerd Hall.
The two-day All Children's Hospital Auction at Tyrone Square and the Saturday night VIP Auction Kickoff Party at the Hilton/St. Petersburg added more than $225,000 to the Telethon total.

Rehab Biography & News
About Rehab
Get addicted to Rehab (Created March 13, 2013)
If you're a Southern Rock or alternative hip-hop fan, you've probably used the phrase "Let's go to Rehab" once or twice and hadn't been referring to a treatment center for addiction. Instead, the reference was probably aimed at a band most popular for its 2008 hit, "Bartender Song (Sittin' at a Bar)". This colorful cast of characters, with former members holding nicknames like "Steaknife," has been making music for more than 15 years.
So what if the story behind Rehab isn't exactly original? Yes, the band was actually formed as a trio after Denny Campbell (aka Steaknife) came together with Danny (Boone) Alexander and Jason Brooks (Brooks Buford), both recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. When they met at a local rehab facility in Georgia and connected over their love of music, Rehab was born.
While they independently produced their first album, "To Whom It May Consume," Rehab was quickly offered a record deal. It nearly went south after Campbell was incarcerated, but Alexander and Brooks clicked as a duo by meshing rap and rock. Their major label debut, "Southern Discomfort," bowed in 2000 on the Sony Label, but they split after spending two years on the road trying to support the album.
Retaining the name and recruiting four new musicians helped Boone rehab Rehab. Over the next few years, this new incarnation would be responsible for four different albums, and songs such as "Bottles & Cans," "Drinkin' Problem," and the aforementioned "Sittin' at a Bar." They've found more moderate success branching out from modern rock to a more country sound, and even reached the Top 30 video countdown on CMT in 2011.

A pelvic exam involves visual examination of the external genitalia and an internal visual exam of the vaginal walls and cervix using a speculum to open the vaginal canal. It also involves palpation, or examination by feeling the size and shape of the pelvic organs.
