Sat. Nov. 13 was a great day to be out on the
Chefs from throughout Tampa Bay, including Chef Tyson from Parkshore Grill, Chef David from 400 Beach Drive, Chef Tom from Salt Rock Grill, Chef Cathleen from Tarpon Springs Culinary Academy, Chef Gui personal chef and our very own Fit4Allkids program expert - Chef Sarah, volunteered their time and expertise.
Children also had the opportunity to pick up the Yum, Yum! Let's Make Some Cookbook, tour the farm, decorate pumpkins, plant peas to take home and prepare a healthy make and take snack.
The children participating in the cook-off received medallions and the winning team went home with special embroidered chef hats.

[quote author="Michael Patrick Leahy"]
It seems that many rational people feel trapped by their own intellectual integrity and belief that science reigns over all. Therefore, they must not believe in God, for to do so would be to surrender that which they value most—their honesty.
Scientific knowledge doesn't require belief and the scientific method is not a belief system. In science, it is not necessary to draw conclusions, especially the kinds of conclusions that religion requires for a basis. Science and and religion, as means of determining objective truth about the world are not at all equivalent.
Religion is all about answers where science is all about questions.
What we call the supernatural is made evident in this world only by it absence. When the supernatural becomes evident in any tangible way, it becomes natural. Anything that requires faith, is not apparent in the world.
[quote author="Michael Patrick Leahy"]There is no effort more noble than to sincerely seek the truth.
What does nobility have to do with anything, who cares about it? I would say that an honest appraisal of reality is important to one's mental health.

Why is Snoring Bad For Your Health
Dr. Ralph Pascualy explains why snoring is bad for your health. When you are snoring, you are losing the flow of air in your throat. If we lose airflow, our brain thinks we are being strangled. Therefore, our brain prepares to fight off what is strangling them. This causes hormones and stimulants to be released. All of those chemicals that have been released cause elevation in blood pressure, promote cardiovascular disease, and promote wakening. Overall, it is has a significant impact on a variety of your bodies systems.

Our holistic veterinarian and product formulator, Dr. Jane Bicks, has never met
a dog she didn't love. It's that same love, coupled with her devotion to her profession,
that fueled her creative drive to make a new and improved formulation to replace
our already popular daily supplement for dogs.
Supplementing your dog's diet can play a crucial role in maintaining overall health.
We know that some dogs require additional nutritional intake to help them maintain
a healthy body, due to age, breed, environment and other factors. Based on this
premise, our holistic veterinarian has formulated a brand new formula to enhance
your dog's daily diet. The perfect complement to a healthy diet, Life's Abundance
Wellness Food Supplement for Dogs is formulated with a broad array of naturally
nutritious ingredients from real food to help maintain overall health. The nutrients
contained in this superior supplement are sourced from foods, like poultry liver,
cranberries, carrots, eggs, pineapples and many others.
In this chewable tablet, Dr. Jane has included the following nutritious ingredients:
Like all of our superior-quality canine supplements, these delicious compressed
tablets are scored in-half for easy splitting. And with a tantalizing liver flavor,
your dog will be doing the happy dance when it comes time for his or her supplement!

Pueraria lobata respecting biodiversity
Pueraria lobata tends to overtake the surfaces where it grows and this vigorous growth can hinder the development of surrounding plants. Consequently, it needs to be curbed by controlled cutting and uprooting. It's during this process, which is vital to preserve biodiversity, that Clarins collects the roots containing the active ingredients used in its Super Restorative range. As a responsible company, Clarins is thus respecting its permanent objective: to collect the most effective plant extracts while preserving the environment.

6. Start Planting
The Farmers' Almanac has a detailed calendar for vegetable and flower gardens, based on lunar cycles. However, it must be adjusted based on your local frost-free date for ultimate spring gardening.
Broccoli, cabbage, spinach and other cool-weather vegetables are hardy enough for planting before the last frost. Plant new flowers and summer vegetables, such as beans, corn and cucumbers, after the last frost. Finally, wait until daytime temperatures are unlikely to dip below 55° Fahrenheit to plant peppers, tomatoes and other tender vegetables.
Start tinting those thumbs green with your spring gardening efforts. For both this article and my own humble gardening effort, I owe credit to the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension and the vast gardening knowledge of Barbara Damrosch.

We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2012 ASPCA Humane Awards. This group of outstanding people and animals includes a rescue dog with more than 5.5 million views on YouTube and a 10-year-old horse advocate who has appeared before Congress.
The 2012 ASPCA Humane Award winners include:
ASPCA Dog of the Year
Abandoned in a trash heap, Fiona, an 11-year-old Poodle mix, was sick, covered in dirt, matted, infested with fleas and blind in both eyes. A Los Angeles-based animal rescue group Hope for Paws, came to Fiona's aid, and with the help of hundreds of donors all over the world, they raised the funds for Fiona's surgery. Fiona's miraculous story of survival has since garnered more than 5.5 million views online, a testament to what can be accomplished when homeless animals get a second chance.
ASPCA Cat of the Year
Scooter the cat was found on the street with no use of his back legs. He was rushed to Harts Run Veterinary Hospital in Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania. Visitors to the hospital instantly fell in love with the fluffy black and white kitten, and donated funds to purchase him a custom-made wheeled mobility device. Scooter now visits a nursing home and rehabilitation hospital every week and serves as a constant inspiration to the elderly and to patients who lack mobility due to injuries and strokes.
ASPCA "Tommy P. Monahan" Kid of the Year
After hearing about the inhumane and cruel practice of horse slaughter, now 10-year-old Declan Gregg of Greenland, New Hampshire, decided to raise his voice and get involved. Declan started his own blog, Children 4 Horses, to spread the word about horse advocacy issues. His dedication to horse advocacy brought him to the nation's capital twice in recent months, where he represented more than 1,000 children from the U.S. and abroad by presenting the letters to legislators in Congress.
Meet all the winners of the 2012 ASPCA Humane Awards! Do you know of a heroic pet or a person who dedicates his or her life to animals? Tell us about your hero in the comments!
And stay tuned to the blog for photos from the annual Humane Awards Luncheon, sponsored by the Hartville Group, Inc., on November 8 in New York City.
I'm thrilled that a blind dog was the Dog of the Year! It's a testament to how resilient they are. Blind dogs can do anything a sighted dog can do! I am constantly amazed at the foster dogs in our care at Blind Dog Rescue Alliance.
These animals are a true help and inspiration to all.
cheers for this amazing courageous dog
When you take on the feeding and care of an anima, it's for life, yours or theirs. At the present time I adopted a feral pig. She was found in a field starved and dehidrated at about 5 weeks old. She is now almost 5 months old and the picture of health. Babe's had her shots and will go in to be fixed at 6 months. I am over 81 and know I won't out live her so I have made arrangments for another animal lover to take her when I die.
How wonderful that the poor sweet kitty was found and cared for by such kind people and can now inspire others how to live fully with their physical challenges. Great choice for Cat of the Year.
Kittens are so adaptable that little ones with disabilities are not aware that they are any different from other kittens and simply find ways to compensate. Bless this little guy, hopefully he will live the long, happy life he so richly deserves.
why no photo of the cat?
Seems like you are overwhelmingly dog center, scarce mention of cats....
Eldad and Audrey Hagar, the couple who rescued Fiona, ASPCA's dog of the year, are most definitely heroes to many! Eldad has a gift in working with thrown away and abandoned animals who have lost their trust in humans due to mistreatment and being discarded like yesterday's trash. He spends many, many hours seeking out these poor needy souls in an effort to get them off the streets and into loving homes where they are finally treated with love, care, and kindness as they deserve. I have never met him or his wife in person but in viewing the many rescues that he often videos in the process, you can see the love and dedication that they have for so many that others have discarded. THEY are heroes to many people and many, many lost and lonely, once hopeless, pets!
I am glad Fiona received this award, she truly deserved it! She is one happy dog now, I just don't understand how someone could abandon such a sweet dog, or any dog for that matter. Responsible dog owners are for life, the life of the dog. If you can't be one you should not have a pet.
I am friends with Dr. Betsy Kennon, who rescued Scooter and now shares this amazing cat with so many people who derive inspiration from his courage. There may be no more deserving cat to be Cat of the Year. Congratulations!
I watched a documentary about east LA's dog issues, it's so good to see some of them make it out, too bad people aren't that resiliant

Triple Endoscopy
Your physician may determine that your child needs further, more extensive, assessment of their symptoms. The team will then refer your child for a triple endoscopy (laryngoscopy, endoscopy and bronchoscopy) which is performed under anesthesia, in an operating room setting.
During this procedure, a flexible tube with a camera on the end is inserted through the nose into the airway to directly visualize the larynx (voice box), bronchi (breathing tubes) and esophagus (swallowing tube).
Several laboratory tests and cultures may be ordered in conjunction with triple endoscopy for diagnostic purposes.

If you see that I did anything wrong in scores just let me know, and I'll have it fix.
If you see that I did anything wrong in scores just let me know, and I'll have it fix.
Not sure what happened but you have James slaten shooting an 80 in the first round and he shot an 88
I am going to double check in the morning. Thanks for pointing it out, if ya see anything else let me know so it will be easier for me to fix. Off to bed I go! Hope everyone had a fun time, and want to say thanks for everyone who came out!
Nick, first of all I would like to thank you for all the time you and the Buffalo Chips put in to this tournament/ course. It is great to see scores go in immediately after the tournament. That's how it SHOULD be.
Here are a few things that I think would make the tournament run a little smoother next year/ improve the enjoyment.
1. I would attempt to bump up the players pack for a B-Tier. Maybe a T-Shirt and a disc. a) The PDGA mandates a $25 dollar minimum for B-Tier player packs. b) No offense, but getting just a T-Shirt for paying $50 dollars kind of sucks.
2. I would not play the two-meter rule on the hanging basket, no one seemed to like that ruling. Even though that didn't happen.
Overall this event was fun as always, though I wish I would have played a lot better. The Hanging Basket on 1 is really cool! Maybe think about a basket in the ground on hole 2 to add to it?
Thanks again for all you do.
I think you may have James & Roger Slaten's scores reversed, because I thought Roger finished 3rd.
Also, I'm not sure how it's listing the scores in comparison to par. For example, I had a 157 and it's listed correctly, but it says that I was -5 when I thought I was +13. Is it considering some holes as par 4s while everyone just adds them up as all 3s?
Thanks to you, Ed, Robin, and everyone else who helped you, Terry, Jim, Shawn, and their helpers for getting the basket up, Will for funding it, and everyone else I'm forgetting. Also thanks for getting these scores in quickly--I'm curious to see how it affects the Southern Indiana Series points.
"That's what she said."----Michael Scott
I thought the hanging basket was the coolest and that the disk on basket 2m rule should be in effect in every tourney on that hole fosure..
Thanks Nick and Ed - it was a great weekend - great to say after a weekend I didnt play so well that it was still a fantastic time
You guys did a great job with the overflowing # of golfers - some may not like the 5 packs - but this tourney has had a 100+ players for the past 3 years - that is phenomenal especially in these times when golfers have so many options to play weekend after weekend - and so many choose Buffalo to be the place to be
Thanks to Terry, Shawn, and the rest of the Buffalo Chips - course looked great -
Props to Mickey Pennington for being the first Ace on the hanging basket - he aced it just before the first round - Congrats to Daniel Allgeier for hitting #1 during the round and to Scott Rief for hitting hole #18 - nice shots
Thanks to Jeremy, Johnny, and Damon for running Doubles and Glow Doubles - at least I got two wins before - not winning a few hours later the next day
Thanks to Papeno's a great local country kitchen and pizza joint - great place for breakfast, dinner, or a longer then expected lunch break - if you didnt eat there this year, hit them up next time you play Buffalo Trace
soundsl like a great time, i would of played had the event not filled up on tuesday or wednesday, oh well, maybe next time...
As for Papeno's, don't hold yesterday against them---I know Ed & Nick went in earlier in the week to forewarn them about a possible influx, but I don't know if they quite believed it. I've eaten there tons of times and that's the only time I've ever had to wait more than about 10 minutes to get a stromboli. I felt bad for the poor waitress because she was the only one on the floor; she was busting her tail and was very apologetic. She said when I was paying "if it was up to me I'd give you guys your meals for having to wait so long."
"That's what she said."----Michael Scott
Nick, sent you a PM.
Acts 4:12
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.

Tour group visits chateau country in rural France
When it comes to visiting France, most Americans flock to the large cities such as Paris, Lyon, and Marseille. What came as a big surprise to our recent college group of 30 participants is how very rural a country France is. Not only is France the largest country in Western Europe in land area, it is also one of the most rural on the continent. French cuisine is tied directly to the small farms and markets where regional produce and fruits are available daily. The same can be said of French dairy products. READ MORE

Model Peter Badenhop Cannot Be Real, Right? – The Daily Swoon
The thing about models is like, you never believe that they're real. They all must be created in labs somewhere because their attractiveness is impossible. So with that in mind, meet your new model obsession: Peter Badenhop.
With some dudes you look at them and just instinctively say, "Oh, hellooooo." Like you can't even turn off that sleazy part of your brain that just wants to climb them like a tree and you know you'd say something completely idiotic if you ever saw a guy like this in a bar. You'd be all, "My Barbies used to make out with men like you." And then you'd probably die.
Anyway! Peter Badenhop is a 28 year old German model who has done editorial work for GQ and walked the runway for Roberto Cavalli. He's now probably walking the runway of your mind.
He says his favorite modeling moment so far was shooting a commercial for Garnier Fructis because he got to stay at a super nice hotel in Barcelona for five days.
See? Models! Just like real people!
Badenhop describes himself as "nice, friendly, and open-minded," which means he would never run away screaming when your mom decides she should talk to him about, uh, anything.
Check out some more pics of Peter Badenhop below and, you know, enjoy it. You deserve it.

Good Stuff
How was your weekend?? :D I hope it was wonderful.
Mine was pretty good! I did a little shopping, met some new people, slept a lot, the usual. :)
1. These are by far my favorite socks. I got them in Alaska (obviously), they're made to look like "Musher" boots. :D
2. My "Something Good" items came yesterday! So excited to use them!
3. I helped my Aunt on Friday with a race/ carnival she was in charge of. I looked great in that orange vest.
4. That's the view I get to see at the end of every day. It's a pretty great one.
5. And this is the view I see at the beginning of every day.
6. I bought a clock! My apartment is seriously lacking in decor.
7. The other day my straightner was falling off the counter. Instead of letting it fall my reflexes kicked in and I tried to grab it. Bad idea. It blistered pretty bad. The burning sensation was relieved instantly by using arnica cream from my glymed school kit. But the blister popped while I was wearing gloves at school and still hasn't healed.
8. Orange Float!
9. I bought- We Bought a Zoo. It's seriously one of my favorite movies and I had to own it.
10. Cars Mac N'Cheese. Fancy food.
11- 16. My friend has a farm and took me to see all of the baby animals! I cannot wait for the goat babies to come! Hopefully they came over the weekend and I can go see them today! :D
Tell me about your weekend. What did you do??

I personally think that the mac and cheese shapes taste way better than the regular. Maybe because it has more surfaces for the cheese to adhere to? I don't know, but I DO know that it is delicious.

When a person meditates and merges subject and object effectively eliminating the "self" he automaticly becomes the world as no mental boundaries limit his being. Sam has exprienced this kind of thing and yet maintains his materialist views on who we are.
Why is this? I mean masters of meditation and contemplation through the ages have reached enlightenment and have said that our true nature is that of existence itself and that all that is perceived arises in consciousness. That we attach ourselves to concepts and live by them, as the concept "I" which is basicly a thought pointing to the body and the mind as being that.
So what I don't understand is how he can have experienced the disolution of self and yet believe in the individual death? The only reason people believe in death is because of identification with the body and its causal personality. Having dispelled that identification one must surely have gone beyond birth and death. I wonder how Sam will change upon realizing the true self as most practitioners do after years of practice.
If Sam is indeed right although I have no understand of his view of life given his experience and his conclusions does that mean that all the other meditators through out the world are simply gullible? That they have realized enlightenment and are in a state of self delusion?
Practitioners are always amazingly critical and question everything, this is the path to enlightenment. Yet somewhere along the journey Sam splits of and holds on the physicallity and death while others seem to abide in the blissful state of fearless living as one who neither is born nor dies.
I hope Im making sense here but Its hard for me to formulate my question in a simple way.
Does Sam believe in enlightenemnt? Truely recognizing yourself as existence itself? What is the difference between Adyashanti and him? Both are very critical and know the mind but one is materialistic and one is absolutly not.

Making Christmas knitting my b*tch!
Yes, a vulgar title for this post, but I feel like a dominatrix (or shall I say domiknitrix?) today as I have officially vanquished all those Christmas w.i.p.s, whipped them into shape and knitted them into submission. They are all done. So it's back to my regularly scheduled self-indulgent stitching, people!
Above you see the Darling Resident Marxist Curmudgeon's Koigu socks. I hope he enjoys them. Christmas and the requisite profligate spending and general gift mania tend to engender a lot of analysis and hang wringing on his part and generally take him to the dark place. Hopefully these will coax him off the ledge... They were done on the recommended 3 dpns, but turned out slightly too slouchy. Next time--and there will be a next time as I have a lot of Koigu in my stash--I'll do some ribbing and try them out on 2s. As I've been trying to get away with doing socks out of non-sock yarn on big needles, this will be a rude awakening, no doubt.
I made what I hope will be my last pair of Fetching for awhile. I am just tired of this pattern (5 pairs in 2 months, yeah, it's getting old), but pleased nonetheless with this particular pair. They are for the above mentioned grouch's mom--I love her to death--and I know she'll get a lot of wear out of them. I cast them on yesterday morning and finished them today before lunch time. I made them out of a yarn I'd never tried before: Elsebeth Lavold Silky Cashmere in the color 'petrol'. It is luxurious but costs a pretty penny, so I doubt that I'll ever use it again for anything larger than a hat, but it was a treat to work with.
I hope you all out there are set to enjoy the holidays in whatever way you see fit. Our gang is going to NJ/NYC tomorrow, just in time for Christmas traffic jams in the Lincoln tunnel and last minute hemmoraging of ca$h in Manhattan...peace to all!

I love the Koigu socks. Doesn't it feel so good to finish the Christmas knitting. I felt so free and immediately casted on for a sock of my very own. The Fetching looks so soft. I'm sure everyone will love your hand knits!

You GO GIRL! I just finished and posted my last Christmas gift, also. It feels TERRIFIC! Now on to the fun stuff! Merry Christmas.
Cute socks! I just finished my last Christmas pair too. Have a great holiday!

WIp it… WIP it good!! Sorry couldn't resist ;-D. Gorgeous Fetchings! Great socks too. I actually have koigu and I can't wait to try it. Have an awesome holiday NYC… sounds like a dream come true to me.

The samething happened to me once I washed my Kogiu socks, they stretched out. I have two more new skeins that the next time I am knitting them on a few less stitches. I do love this yarn and the colors! Fetching really turned out lovely.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

Goshen's Wrecker Service loads a vehicle heavily damaged in a collision on U.S. 421 near Chevrolet Saturday night. According to reports, a trailer rolled from the side of the road into the path of a Chevrolet Cavalier which was driven by Juree England . The trailer apparently broke loose as it was being hooked to a vehicle and rolled onto the highway in front of England's car. Reports indicated that upon the collision, the trailer flipped onto the hood and the top of her car. She was taken by ambulance to the helipad at Harlan ARH Hospital and then airlifted to Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport, Tenn. According to family members, she was treated for a head injury and later released. Units from the Harlan County Rescue Squad and other agencies responded to the scene. Kentucky State Police Trooper Josh Beshears was the investigating officer.

United for transportation
Notwithstanding second-session fatigue, lawmakers need to regroup and make transportation the post-K-12 priority uno. A united front of regional labor, business and local governments has coalesced around Rep. Judy Clibborn's proposal for $7.8 billion in expenditures over 12 years. Lions and lambs, Republicans and Democrats, are laboring in common cause towards a common purpose.
Why? Something about a preventable train wreck concentrates the mind.
Rep. Clibborn's House budget recognizes Snohomish County and the state's largest industrial center as a core economic driver. Make no mistake: Landing the Boeing 777X for Washington is specifically linked to a transportation package. What does and doesn't get done sends a stark message.
Rep. Clibborn's budget aligns with priorities flagged by the Washington Aerospace Partnership. It includes $44 million for the Highway 526 Hardeson Road Interchange at Paine Field. The Senate budget has nothing. Rep. Clibborn's plan has $34 million for I-5 north Marine View Drive to Highway 528 (the peak-use shoulder lane for Everett to Marysville.) Zero from the Senate. Clibborn wants freight-corridor improvements on 41st Street in Everett. The Senate is 0-3.
"We need a package, and we need a House package," said Everett city councilmember Paul Roberts. Roberts has strategized closely with the Economic Alliance, Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson, and Reid Shockey, the president of the Snohomish County Committee for Improved Transportation.
In a Wednesday email to legislators, Stephanson wrote. "From the City of Everett's perspective I am sure you recognize that, at a minimum, any transportation package must include the 'North Puget Sound Manufacturing Corridor' projects that are in Chairwoman Clibborn's House 'striking amendment.'"
Stephanson is spot on. The public interest and fostering growth need to trump politics.
"Transportation improvement projects are critical to the health of our county and state economy," said Shannon Affholter, vice president of the Economic Alliance. "Our state simply cannot wait any longer to invest in infrastructure to support our core industries; otherwise they will end up moving jobs elsewhere, hurting Washington families."
Policymakers better internalize Affholter's message. We're in the fight of our (aerospace-sector) lives, and time is short.

I'm stumbling around, no flashlight, hoping no low-hanging branch puts an eye out before I get a good look at the owl.
I know he's there. We all do. The stealthy raptor had momentarily revealed itself against the stars as it flitted to a new perch in the oak-and-juniper woodland in southeastern Arizona. Now our guide is trying to lure it into a skeletal dead tree, the better to light it up for clear viewing.
"Everybody stand still," he says. After a moment, he thumbs the "play" button on the screen of his iPod. A series of short hoots comes from the small speaker in his other hand, filling the shadows between the trees.
We wait.
Silence. Stillness.
He plays the recording again.
A cicada hums. Leaf litter crunches as someone shifts their weight. But no movement overhead.
The guide shines his light into the top of a thickly foliated oak. With his acute tracker's eye and decades of experience, he knows what to look for. Me, this is my first time birding, and it's been a decade or so since my vision was anywhere near acute, so while I'm dutifully scanning the treetop, I'm operating on faith.
Another round of calls, but the bird won't budge. So we put aside our binoculars and start heading back the way we came, a bit randomly until we pick up the dirt road we'd charged off of in pursuit of the owl.
In a few minutes the 13 of us are back at the Cave Creek Ranch hotel in Portal, Ariz., discussing the night's doings. Some of the discussion is on the not-quite-seen bird, identified as a western screech owl, but most is on the earlier find of the night: an adolescent whiskered screech owl who couldn't have been more cooperative, offering easy viewing as he sat fully illuminated on a dead juniper branch for perhaps 10 minutes while cameras clicked and we moved about to view his huge yellow eyes and mottled gray feathers from different angles.
Unfortunately, we would have nothing like that kind of luck in the second half of this trip, catching only a brief look at a great horned owl in an abandoned cotton shed on the dusty flatlands of nearby Rodeo, N.M. Such is the lesson of birding for the uninitiated: Nature has the last word, no matter how well you plan and how hard you work.
And work hard we had. This weeklong trip, set up by High Lonesome Bird Tours, centered on one of the prime birding destinations in North America. In the southeastern corner of Arizona, a confluence of desert, mountain, grassland and riparian habitats watered by monsoon rains creates a hotbed of biodiversity. Leading the charge was our guide, who brought a big reputation, preternaturally keen vision and hearing, and the improbable name of Wezil Walraven.
So while the owl jackpot was never hit, a host of songbirds and raptors showcased the region's overflowing catalog of life: deer, pronghorn antelope and other mammals, several kinds of rattlesnakes, tarantulas, scorpions, jewel-like beetles and flamboyant moths. Our paths included a trudge up a freshly washed-out dirt road to see an owl and a host of hummingbirds, another sojourn deep into a pristine canyon on the Army's Fort Huachuca, and numerous stabs into the woods of the Chiricahua Mountains behind Portal.
The tour starts before it even starts.
From the airport in Tucson, we wend our way southeast in a couple of vans, watching the mesquite scrub slowly open up into grassland as we climb in altitude.
Suddenly, Walraven brings the van to a halt, dead in the middle of the road, then vaguely pulls onto the shoulder. What the heck's going on? He brings up his binoculars, scans for a moment, nods, then throws the van in reverse and zips a few hundred feet back to a dirt side road. "Botteri's sparrow," he says as he bails out of the driver's seat, iPod and speaker in hand. As we follow, I'm thinking: Going 50 mph on a cloudy day and watching the road, this guy can not only spot a 6-inch, grayish-brown bird on the wing, but can ID it down to the species? Are you kidding me?
And what's this bird's big deal? It's just a sparrow, right? I can see a bunch of them in my back yard any day of the week.

|All Children's Hospital to Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday
All Children's Hospital will honor the legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by celebrating his birthday as an official holiday on Monday, January 20.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to honor Dr. King's vision and his contributions to civil rights and equality for all individuals," says ACH President and Physician in Chief Jonathan M. Ellen, M.D. "Throughout its history, All Children's has provided care without regard to race, creed or ability to pay, echoing Dr. King's commitment to justice. Dr. King's courageous support of equality and respect for each individual can serve as our guidepost each day, both as individuals and as an organization."
As with other holidays, most outpatient and non-clinical areas will be closed but most inpatient services will not be affected.

We've received several emails from readers who love CSI: NY and are worried that it's been cancelled. Will the show ever return? The simple answer is, "Yes, it's on hiatus until March 30th." But, while the TV series hasn't been canned yet, Gary Sinise and company could certainly be in their final season.
It's no secret that the ratings have declined over the years and that's probably one of the reasons that CBS moved it to a Friday night timeslot. It still brings in a respectable 10 million viewers each week but is one of the network's worst performer in the prized 18-49 demographic, even when you adjust for the Friday timeslot. Year-to-year, the show is also down by 7% in the demo.
At the recent TCA press tour, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler noted that, though she loves the CSI shows, "Nothing runs forever. How you handle it, the most important thing is how you respect your audience, how you respect your cast, and being incredibly sensitive to how you wrap up any show when it ends a successful run. But we are in those talking stages now (about how to end the CSIs)."
It's unlikely that CBS will end all three CSI series this year but they could certainly drop one or two of them. Based on the ratings, the New York version would be first in line to be cancelled.
What do you think? Is this the last season of CSI: NY? Should the series be cancelled or renewed for one more season?

Prices shown in currencies other than USA Dollars are estimates based on current exchange rates. We will charge your credit card in USA Dollars on the day your order is shipped, and the conversion to your local currency will be done at the prevailing rate by your credit card issuer.
Shipments outside the USA are declared as "bike parts" for customs purposes and will include the actual amount paid for merchandise and shipping. Jenson USA will not mark your parcel as a "gift", declare a value lower than the actual price paid, or otherwise prepare false customs information.

Please Note: All frame colors will include the lenses pictured as well as one set of Clear and one set of Ignitor lenses. There will be a total of 3 lenses per pair.
