Geographic Range
Brown thrashers are found from southeastern Canada through eastern, central, and southeastern United States. Brown thrashers are the only thrasher species east of the Rocky Mountains and central Texas. During the breeding season brown thrashers primarily inhabit areas of southern Canada south to east central Texas. Migration is over short distances and at night. In winter, these birds migrate from the northern parts of their range into the southern parts of their range. (Howard and Moore, 1991; Robbins, et al., 1983)
Brown thrashers are found in warm, dry habitats, such as warm forest edges and dense thickets. They are also found in suburban and agricultural areas. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Peterson, 1999; Peterson, 2001)

Physical Description
Adults have rufous upperparts and white underparts with a long, black tail. They have long, straight bills and yellow eyes. Males and females are alike in size and coloration. They are from 23.5 cm to 30.5 cm long, with wingspans of 9.4 to 11.1 cm long. The young appear the same except their upperparts are spotted and their eyes are gray. There are two sub-species, brown thrashers (T. rufum rufum) and long-billed thrashers (T.rufum longirostre). Long-billed thrashers are unique in their dull upperparts, gray head, orange eye, and long, straight bill. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Dunning, 1993; Godfrey, 1986)

When males arrive at the breeding grounds they establish a territory. In the southern parts of their range breeding starts in February and March, in the northern parts, breeding starts in May and June. Soon after this, pairs are formed and they begin to build a nest. Mates find each other with calls, most commonly using a call similar to a "tick" or "tchuck". Once the bond is formed and the nest is built, the pair will mate. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Fergus, 2004)
- Mating System
- monogamous
Brown thrasher breeding seasons vary with geographic region. Birds in the southern region breed from February to March; while those in the northern region breed from May to June. Brown thrashers lay three to five eggs each breeding season. Incubation takes about two weeks, once the eggs have hatched, nestlings take from 9 to 13 days to fledge. Independence is reached 17 to 19 days later. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Ehrlich, et al., 1988)

Both parents incubate, brood, and feed nestlings. They incubate by sitting tightly on the nest and slip off when disturbed. During the incubation period, the female does the majority of the incubating. Both parents feed the chicks. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Ehrlich, et al., 1988)

Year-to-year survival is age dependent for brown thrashers. Survival rate is approximately 35% for their first and second years, 50% between second and third years, and 75% between third and fourth years. Limitations to lifespan include disease (for example Salmonella tymphimurium), parasitism, and sometimes exposure to cold temperatures. The longest known lifespan in the wild is twelve years and in captivity, ten to twelve years. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Ehrlich, et al., 1988)

These birds are usually territorial and are found in pairs or with offspring during the breeding season. They compete with other birds for habitat and nesting areas. This competition results in hostile encounters with birds like gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis). Most often these encounters are instigated by males. During winters brown thrashers often displace other birds from their feeding areas. The name "thrasher" may come from the bird's habit of thrashing ground litter with its bill. Migration is over short distances and at night. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Fergus, 2004)

Home Range
Territory-mapping studies indicate variation in territory densities. Most activites of a pair are confined to territories. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000)
Communication and Perception
Brown thrashers communicate mainly with vocalizations. They use mimicry extensively as well and are well known for their songs. Males have the largest documented song repertoire of all North American bird. This includes over 1100 types of songs. At young ages, birds most commonly use "alarm noises". Primary modes of perception include visual and tactile. Brown thrashers use mainly vision to find food and their tactile abilities to search for and manipulate food. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Ehrlich, et al., 1988)
- Communication Channels
- acoustic
- Other Communication Modes
- mimicry
Food Habits
Brown thrashers eat insects, primarily beetles and other arthropods, fruits, and nuts. They forage for food on the ground in leaf litter below trees and shrubs. These birds sweep the soil and leaf litter with rapid side-to-side movements that scatter leaves. After sweeping a few times, they will probe the soil and litter with their beaks. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000)
- Primary Diet
- omnivore
- Animal Foods
- insects
- Plant Foods
- seeds, grains, and nuts
- fruit
Gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis) have been documented visiting brown thrasher nests to break the eggs. Two hypotheses are proposed to explain this heterospecific egg destruction behavior: resource competition and egg predation. These birds both live in shrubs and have similar timing in breeding. They compete for the resources of this habitat. Once the catbird has broken the egg, usually it will consume the contents. This egg consumption is consistent with the proposed egg predation hypothesis. The eggs of brown thrashers are also preyed on by many species of snakes. Adults and nestlings are preyed on by falcons. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Rivers and Sandercock, 2004)
To respond to predation, brown thrashers have a few natural defenses. Adults are aggressive and often chase predators from the nest. Adults will use their bill to hit predators, these are large birds and they can cause significant damage to small and medium-sized predators. Other defenses include flapping theirwings and vocalizations. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Rivers and Sandercock, 2004)
- Known Predators
- gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis)
- eastern yellowbelly racers (Coluber constrictor)
- common garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis)
- Great Plains rat snakes (Pantherophis emoryi)
- common king snakes (Lampropeltis getula),
- milk snakes (Lampropeltis triangulum)
- prarie king snakes (Lampropeltis calligaster)
- black rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus)
- bull snakes (Pituophis)
- domestic cats (Felis silvestris)
- peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus)
Ecosystem Roles
Ecosystem roles include competition with other birds for nesting sites and resources. Also these birds are prey for many snakes and other birds. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Ehrlich, et al., 1988; "Mockingbirds", 1985; Fergus, 2004)
- ticka (Ixodes dentatus)
- hematophagous larvae (Protocalliphora metallica, P. shannoni)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Brown thrashers are one of the best and most spectacular singers of all North American birds. Avid bird watchers enjoy the chance to see and hear these birds. (Ehrlich, et al., 1988)
- Positive Impacts
- ecotourism
- research and education
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Brown thrashers can be significant pests in fruit orchards and crop fields. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Cavitt and Haas, 2000)
- Negative Impacts
- crop pest
Conservation Status
Brown thrashers are not listed as threatened or endangered in any part of their range. No management actions are known to increase or maintain populations. Dangers include pesticides, collisions with structures, and some degradation of habitats. These effects have yet to become harmful enough to cause concern. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000)

Other Comments
Brown thrashers belong to the mimic thrush family, Mimidae. They are among the most vocal birds and often mimic other species. Other birds in this group include northern mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) and gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis).
The best time to observe these birds is in April, before nest sites are established. During this time males sing on high branches to attract mates. (Cavitt and Haas, 2000; Ehrlich, et al., 1988; Fergus, 2004)

The shelter will attend Petapaloosa, April 18th (Sunset Park) and Woofstock, April 26th (Sun City Anthem). We will also be participating in "A No Kill Nation For Just One Day" on June 11th.
For a make-over and spa day, 6 dogs are selected each July to attend the SuperZoo's Rescue Rodeo at Mandalay Bay. This is not an event opened to the public, but it is a grooming competition with competitors worldwide. The lucky dogs are given professional grooming make-overs to help them become more adoptable. Pups at Petsmart is a program where our volunteers take select dogs on Saturdays to our off-site location at Petsmart, located at 286 W. Lake Mead, Henderson, NV. It is a great program that not only gets the dogs out of their kennels for the day, and given a car ride, but also they are viewed by several other people who may not visit the shelter. It has proven to be a successful program in getting these dogs more exposure and many are adopted because of their Saturday outing.
We have two off-site Petsmart locations where we have cats for adoption daily. Come check them out! 286 W. Lake Mead and 531 N. Stephanie. To see all of the available pets for adoption and those that are currently lost/strays, please go to PetHarbor. Enter your zip code and click on Henderson Animal Care and Control.

Comments about Quorum 54543-86, Bristol Oiled Bronze Uplight 54" Ceiling Fan with Wall Control:
We purchased two of these fans, one for a small bedroom and one for a large bedroom. The fan has a fantastic Aviation, cottage or lake side style, this fan has three blades was well balanced and moves a lot of air in both rooms, the up light has a great integrated design and offers good lighting, professional installed fans as well as dimmers for the light and fan. These fans were on backordered for several months, I searched for replacements but always came back to these, they need to step up production but I was glad I waited.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Attractive styling, great up light
Has an aviation, lake side or cottage feel. Up light is beautifully integrated in the design. For three blades it pushes a lot of air. Fans were professionally installed in two bedrooms one small and one larger. Works well in both size rooms. Put light on dimmer switch so also acts like a night light. Have not purchased this brand before and contractor had no experience with the brand. I usually buy Craftmade but loved the style of this fan. It took many many weeks to get the fans since it was backordered. I love the style and am glad I was patient, I did seriously look at other options but lucky for the brand the style kept me waiting. I suggest they step up production to prevent the buyers from looking for other options not on back order. Fans were well balanced when installed.

A candidate running to replace Republican state Assemblyman Allan Mansoor switched her political affiliation to Democratic after months of campaigning as a conservative GOP politician, a move that party leaders say could split the Democratic vote in a tight primary race.
Karina Onofre, who as recently as January espoused her conservative credentials at a Tea Party forum in Costa Mesa, filed paperwork last month to run as a Democrat in the 74th Assembly District race.
Onofre, a self-described conservative Democrat, said in an interview she'd become increasingly disillusioned with Orange County's "good old boys club" after identifying as a Republican for more than a year. She ran unsuccessfully as a Republican during the nonpartisan Santa Ana City Council race in 2012.
"There are extremists on both sides, but I fit in better with the Democrats – the Democratic Party has the heart," said Onofre, 31, of Irvine, a registered Democrat for the majority of her adult life. "It's definitely going to take time making the switch, but I know I'm going to earn the Democratic trust."
Mansoor is not seeking reelection to the 74th Assembly District so he can run for a county supervisor seat; his district spans spans from Huntington Beach to Laguna Beach.
Democratic Party leader Nick Anas said he feared Onofre would siphon away votes from the other Democrat in the race, schoolteacher Anila Ali of Irvine, who has been endorsed by county Democrats.
"It's a real shame," Anas, executive director of the Democratic Party of Orange County, said of Onofre's switch. "It shows she doesn't have a strong political compass. I don't know if she's naive or if this is more calculated, but either way, it's disturbing."
Three Republicans also are vying for the 74th Assembly District seat – Newport Beach City Councilman Keith Curry, Huntington Beach Mayor Matthew Harper and political aide Emanuel Patrascu of Laguna Beach.
The top two vote-getters in the June 3 primary will face off in this November's election, regardless of party affiliation.
Onofre, who owns an H&R Block franchise in Santa Ana, said she was drawn to the Republican Party in 2012 as she was preparing for a run for Santa Ana City Council. She hoped the GOP would be a better fit for her conservative fiscal values, and as a Catholic, she felt the GOP might better reflect her social values as well, she said.
"I wanted to be open-minded because I thought it was the media that deterred Latinos from looking at the Republican Party," Onofre said.
But Onofre, a lifelong supporter and advocate for the Latino community, said the GOP's views on undocumented immigrants weighed heavily on her conscience.
In February 2013, Onofre said she was "really, really bothered" by a report that U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach, had allegedly threatened a young, undocumented Costa Mesa woman who came to his Washington, D.C. office to advocate for immigration reform.
Toward the end of that meeting, Rohrabacher, a staunch opponent of amnesty for undocumented immigrants, was accused of asking 18-year-old Jessica Bravo if she'd provided her contact information to his office. He then was accused of saying, "Good, now I know where you live," which Bravo interpreted as a threat.
Rohrabacher's office denied the accusation, saying Bravo had told "an outright lie" and characterized her as unprepared for the meeting and unable to defend her position.

We knew it! Celebrities really are just like us. They watch addictive reality shows and even become obsessed with the pseudo-authentic plot lines.
We almost dropped our low-fat ice cream when super couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore admitted to their stylist friend Rachel Zoe that they are hooked on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Can they not get enough of its breakout star NeNe Leakes? Do they love the cat fights between Kim Zociak and Sheree Whitfield? Do they critique the racy attire that makes these moms seem more June Cleavage than "Leave it to Beaver?" Could Demi be contemplating which rival housewives' clothing line she'll wear? Is she obsessed with the identity of Kim's married sugar daddy, aka "Big Poppa?"
We don't know for sure, but this is what we learned during an exchange between Zoe, the A-listers and her ever amusing assistant, Brad Goreski on the last episode.
The episode revolved around Zoe's collaboration with Kutcher as contributing "stylist" for his Blah Girls Web cartoon. Zoe conceptualized the girls' prom looks and contributed some of her, "I die. I die." lines in the form of voice-overs.
During a follow up phone call, Kutcher told Zoe (who regularly styles his wife) that the couple were visiting Atlanta. Goreski perked up and asked, "Have you seen any of the Real Housewives? Kutcher laughed and said, "No. No. No sightings of NeNe or Kim."
Zoe apologized for Brad, saying, "He's obsessed with them." That's okay, Kutcher said, "Demi's obsessed with them too!" Then Demi got on the phone to profess her love for the show.
We can only imagine how much Bravo execs loved one of their reality shows plugging another. Talk about one big happy reality family.
We also learned that if Zoe ever gives birth, her private parts will only produce "Chanel." Way too much information!
StyleList has all the scoop on Whitfield's recent She by Sheree fashion collection.
And catch "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" tonight at 10/9 C on Bravo.

Ashaway MonoGut ZX Pro & ZX Playtest!
View Single Post
Join Date: Sep 2008
Location: Central Florida

String, gauge, & color received
Ashaway MonoGut ZX 16 Red
Tension used for playtest
56 pounds on a lockout machine.
Regular string set up
When my arm can handle it, Weiss Cannon Black 5 Edge mains with a multi cross.
Racquet brand and model used for test
Prince Exo3 Tour 16x18
Power of test string
Very high, similar to natural gut. First serves and overheads were wonderful with this string.
Good, but not as good as natural gut. PVAudio said it best when he mentioned the string has a crunchy feel.
Very good, same as a full bed of gut for me but still a little less than my favorite Black 5 Edge poly in the mains. It seemed like most of my opponents were making more errors or hitting short due to the spin I was generating.
It feels more firm than natural gut or multis but never once bothered my arm which has been sensitive on and off for the last 4 years.
Excellent. I think I've got about 12 hours or more of singles play on it. It barely looks notched in a very open pattern racket and I'm a string breaker.
Playability Duration (share thoughts on if/how the playability changed over time)
This is a tough one. I played my best match of the year before I packed my stick to leave for Florida to DC. Once I got here, I warmed up with it both times but quickly abandoned the test string early in matches because the control was gone. Is the Zyex cold sensitive because I left my rackets in the luggage? I'm thinking so.
UPDATE: I think I'm finding that I was just having trouble controlling shots with opponents who hit with a lot of spin.
Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?)
I played really well with this string on all shots. Seemed very consistent to me.
Compare to the string you use most often
I love to try strings, so hard to answer this one.
Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension? Why?)
I don't agree with low tension on this string. It needs more tension to keep the ball in play. I'm glad I strung it relatively high.
List any final thoughts.
My original test set got lost in the mail. Thanks TW/Ashaway for sending a replacement. It appears this test was geared mostly for the 1.22mm gauge. What I received was 1.27mm.
My extensive multifilament string testing has lead me to believe that 17g or less is too springy for soft synthetics. I like the thicker 16g versions in every case so far. It would seem from reading the 1.22mm reviews, that most people are experiencing the same thing I have.
This is truly a unique string and I'm proud that an American company has come up with something so different that plays outstanding. I plan on using this full bed in the cooler months of the year when more power is needed. With the hotter weather now, Black 5 Edge poly mains just give me the control I need to keep balls from flying.
I know this would cost money, but I'd like to see Ashaway redo this playtest in the fall with the cooler weather and the thicker gauge. I've tried a boatload of strings and I'm not finding very many negatives with this string like I'm reading in this thread.
Thanks Ashaway and TW for allowing me to participate.

Hi, all... this is the method I use for painting carbon fibre effect finishes on car parts. It's not perfectly to scale, but it gives a good "impression" on a model, and especially if you need it on interiors where it won't be examined too closely. Works well over compound curved shapes which would be a pain to decal as well...
You start with some ribbon from your local haberdashers/craft shop/Boyes/Walmart, that looks like this:
As you can see, I have two sizes. The one on the left is usable for radiator grilles etc, and is really too coarse, but gives a more clearly visible effect and hence a better contrast "at a glance". You decide whether you prefer the closer to scale look or the clear contrast between carbon diffuser and red bodywork!
The base material is just painted black. In this case it's a bit of spare black painted card headlining that I used on the DBS.
You need to hold the ribbon CLOSE to the model part. It stretches and conforms nicely, but use tape to hold it down or fix the part in place and stretch it over with your fingers if necessary to make sure it conforms closely to the part. The finer the mesh, the more important this is. If you don't have it close enough, the pattern just blurs and eventually isn't there at all...
Spray with your contrasting "carbon" coat. I use Zero Paints Graphite Grey, but any darkish metallic grey will do. You can also paint the base coat in the metallic grey and overspray with black through the mesh if you want to vary the effect, say in an engine bay with several carbon fibre elements.
You should up with something like this (the clear coat I used quickly is attacking the black base paint on the card, which is why you can see bits of gold colour emerging -- choose your paints carefully for compatibility!). You can see that the right hand side is much finer patterned than the left. It has a discernible pattern, but from any distance it will merge to grey. The other will give a stronger impression of "carbon" on your model, but if a contest judge gets out the magnifying glass or picks it up, it'll be too coarse for scale. You pays your money and you takes your choice (the ribbon, by the way, costs about 50p for 3 feet, and you can use it over and over...)
I hope that this helps some of you!
best regards,
Painting carbon fibre effect

Roy Orbison's widow Barbara died in a Los Angeles hospital Tuesday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 60.
Barbara had been hospitalized at USC Medical Center since May battling the disease; her death fell on the 23rd anniversary of the death of the Pretty Woman singer, who she'll be buried next to at Westwood Village Memorial Park.
"I've spent my lifetime trying to figure love out," Roy Orbison once said, according to his website. "Love ranges from just fascination to something almost spiritual … in the case with my wife Barbara, it just keeps growing all the time."
Family friend Lisa Swayze, who lost husband Patrick to pancreatic cancer two years ago, told the AP she "always had a warm connection with them both.
"Now we have lost this wonderful lady," Lisa said.
Barbara, who wed Roy in 1968, is survived by three sons: Wesley, 46; Roy Kelton, 41; and Alexander, 36.

Wilton will work closely with Heather Westgate, TDA's managing director, taking responsibility for developing and closing new business opportunities with existing and prospective clients.
He said: "TDA is a well-structured, successful agency that is poised for even bigger and better things. This is a rare opportunity to work with a business that is ripe for growth and help propel it through the next stage of development to position it firmly as one of the industry's leading lights."
Wilton has worked as a consultant with leading brands including LG Mobile, Texaco, NCP, Citibank, and Comet, advising them on marketing and product development strategies. He has also conducted agency relationship management audits for brands such as Xerox, NSPCC, Nationwide, AOL and Digital UK.
Westgate said: "Peter is an accomplished businessman, industry-renowned for his acumen and insight. At such an exciting stage of our development, it's a real coup being able to welcome him to our senior team."
Wilton's appointment follows TDA's recruitment last month of Simon Kershaw, the former co-founder of closed DM agency Keevil Barton Kershaw, as executive creative director.

Put together by Plane Stupid's very own activist and animator Leo Murray, 'Carbon Omissions' addresses the fact that UK emissions are soaring if you take into account emissions created by us but outside of UK borders.
The animation has the support of Green Party MP Caroline Lucas among others.
George Monbiot summarises the message well:
"The carbon cuts we have made so far... have been achieved by means of a simple device: allowing other countries, principally China, to run polluting industries on our behalf."

This is a hugely evocative video of protests against new Nantes Airport. Farmers, activists & residents campaigning together.
The date for everyones diaries is May 11th when they are planning their biggest mass action ever and are looking to get 100,000 people (remember they got 40,000 last year) to symbolically surround the land that would be needed for the airport.
All info here with translation to English: http://zad.nadir.org/?lang=en
No Dash for Gas, a group of activists who closed down an EDF gas-fired power station for a week last October, are being sued for £5 million by EDF.
Joss Garman from Plane Stupid said,
"I hope all the people living near an airport are concerned about this attack on the right to protest – if companies bring million pound law suits against activists, then people whose homes are threatened will have one less tool to defend themselves, and the legal system will shift even further in the favour of corporate money.
If this had been going on five years ago, there'd be a third runway at Heathrow by now and probably a second one at Stansted."
No Dash For Gas website: www.NoDashforGas.org.uk
With the arrival of March, Grow Heathrow will turn 3 years old – it's time to celebrate!
Come along for a day of feasting, music, cake competitions, swap shops, arts and crafts, seed sewing, free yoga lesson and celebrations. Bring your friends, family and an entry for the cake competition on Saturday 2nd March, from 1.30 sharp.

Re-posted from the Transition Heathrow blog
On Saturday Le Monde reported that an incredible 25,000 activists took direct action to reoccupy the site of a proposed airport in Nantes, France.
Some protesters had been evicted from their squats. The amazing reoccupation united local farmers who risk losing their land with climate activists and thousands of protesters concerned about cost, pollution and noise.
We have been inspired by the passionate grassroots support for local people's struggle to take their lives into their own hands and say, "no" to an unaffordable, polluting airport being built on their homes and farms. Check out these beautiful photos of the ZAD and you'll wish you were there too.
For more information about the ZAD, visit zad.nadir.org.
This blog was re-posted from the Transition Heathrow website.
On Saturday 3rd November 2012, around 100 local residents and campaigners took part in a protest walk against the proposed 'World Logistics Hub' at Manchester Airport. The protesters braved the cold to take a route around the 90 acre former greenbelt site, which is threatened by the plans to build 43 cargo sheds and almost 1,500 car parking spaces.
Local residents, wildlife enthusiasts and environmental campaigners spoke at various points along the walk, sharing their experiences of fighting Manchester Airport expansion and highlighting the numerous ways that the plans would affect local people and the environment.
Audrey O'Donovan, local resident and Chair of Ringway Parish Council, said "The World Logistics Hub, should it get final approval, would result in serious loss of amenity and environmental damage for local people. The Airport's application is based on unsubstantiated claims regarding the number of jobs they hope to create. There are also unsubstantiated claims in relation to finding potential occupiers of these new warehouses. The impact upon local wildlife and ecology would have serious consequences forthe biodiversity of this area."
The Wildlife Walk came one week after Councillors on the Wythenshawe Area Committee 'recommended for approval' the World Logistics Hub plans. The application will now be sent to the Planning and Highways Committee at Manchester City Council for a final decision on 22nd November 2012. A number of attendees at the Wildlife Walk, keen for their concerns to be brought to this Committee, pledged to attend this November meeting at Manchester Town Hall.
Several Manchester Councillors of the Wythenshawe Area Committee backed the Logistics Hub plans based on the Airport's promises of local job opportunities. However campaigners argue that job creation figures proposed by the Airport are inflated. Jane Beetson from 'Stop Expansion at Manchester Airport' campaign said "When Manchester Airport first announced plans for a second runway, they claimed 50,000 jobs would be created. No-where near that number of jobs materialised. Just like then, they are misleading the public now."
She added, "Local Councillors say they will force the Airport to give jobs to local people but in practice they will have no way of enforcing this on the firms that move into the new office and warehouse spaces. We need to create green jobs in sustainable industries not dirty aviation."
The Save Sunbank Wildlife Walk was also an opportunity for biodiversity experts to explain that Airport's promises of preserving wildlife are also unrealistic, and that creating a 'mitigation zone' is no substitute for leaving habitats untouched.
Along the route, campaigners encountered the threatened habitats of numerous plant and animal species. Several mature oak trees line Sunbank Lane, providing nesting opportunities for rare birds, and potential roosting spots for endangered bat species. The site is also home to 12 ponds occupied by Great Crested Newts, an endangered species found only in the North West of England. Walkers were also able to spot signs of protected animals for example badger snuffle holes and mole hills in the green space around Sunbank.

A: Both lenticular and holographic images can show depth and/or motion. After that they have nothing in common!
Holograms are usually monochromatic (one color) and need to be lit perfectly in order to be seen. They are produced with laser light that is reflected onto an emulsion. When lit correctly they are stunning but when not lit correctly...not so much.
Lenticular is a printing process, does not need special lighting in order to look it's best and does not scratch. In fact, one of the most popular uses for lenticular is as a direct mailer.
A: Lenticular images are digital files that have been specially prepared and then printed onto a lens material. This material is a special plastic made up of lenticules, hence the name lenticular printing. The image, viewed through the lenticules, appears to move as it is turned creating dramatic animation or depth.
I could watch this spinner for hours :) We have it close to our hummingbird feeder and it seems they come to check the spinner out before they go to the feeder. Great quality, arrived fast. Would recommend to a friend.
Great, whimsical product! Love to see it spinning in the wind. Easy to "assemble". My neighbors love it also. Service was so fast my head was spinning also.

Need a desk? An airplane? How about an armored personnel carrier? Items like these and others are now just a click away for the highest bidder.
Joseph Hamrick, a 59-year-old construction worker from Goose Creek, S.C., got hooked on one such Web site, GovDeals.com, about five months ago. Since then, he's gotten good deals on a 1999 Dodge truck in great condition, 36 bicycles and more than 2,000 brand-new T-shirts, among other things -- much of which he gives away to charity and co-workers.

Video Production and Design @ randompath.ca
A commercial that we produced for A sensory Deprivation company in Edmonton, Alberta. Showing all of the stimuli that bombards our senses on a daily basis, and how important it is to have that moment to just breath, and relax.
We are very happy to have had the opportunity to work with the band REND.
The idea for this video was hatched out of knowing that we would be shooting several live shows for the band, and we tried to find the best way to tie it all together.
In the last week of June of 2014 we shot a music video for the band "The Fronts"
We had the luxury of being able to convert an old home into the environment that we needed to best tell this story.
Take a look!
A live performance that we covered and turned into a music video for BMB SHL at The Common in Edmonton.
2013 Was a great year for Randompath, as our first full year as a production company we saw many interesting projects come through our door. From doing several different visual elements for two Mayfield Theater productions last year, to some rudimentary and corporate style video production, all the way to large scale production for music videos.
Edmonton Pop duo "R/CH G/RL" approached us with their catch song titled "don't hang up".
Upon listening to it a few times, we started to get down all our ideas and see where we wanted to take this sound.
Dying Lions is the second music video that we have done for Edmonton's own Sister Gray. We shot this video in, and around Edmonton during September of 2013.
"The Queens" is an Edmonton based band that focuses on large corporate events. The band is made of the Graling sisters from "Sister Gray" and Kelly Nall from "Axe and Smash".
We are proud to unveil our newest music video that we did for Edmonton based music group "Sister Gray"
Their first single "O" was the track that was brought to us to come up with a fresh concept for their music video.

Please share details of this on your favorite social media. Let friends know about the Allys Cascade Shrimp from Brand: The Essential Fly
Customers who bought Allys Cascade Shrimp also bought:
Allys Cascade, was created by Alistair Gowans, creator of the Allyss Shrimp range of flies which probably account for more salmon than almost any other salmon fly. The Allys Cascade has accounted for many sea trout and other fish as well as the Atlantic salmon. Allys Cascade can produce fish in almost any conditions and at any time of year. In the summer tiny Allys Cascade tied on size 12 hooks or even smaller doubles or trebles will take fish in the very low water, they can be great fun skated along the water. When the water is higher or colder larger sizes on double or treble hooks (Allys Cascade Shrimp (Treble Hook)) up to size 4. For really high and cold water tube fly versions tied on plastic Allys Shrimp (Nylon Tube), aluminum or brass tubes are successful from spring to autumn. We also have an Allys Cascade - Snake Fly variant for those that love the Allys Cascade pattern for sea trout and salmon.

Thanks for getting back to me there is hope. I really did not want to stick an outboard on the back or put an engine well in . I did dream about making special rigging so that I could attach my dingy with its 15 hp motor to the side of the boat and using this when I had to do any distance in calm waters. I looked at other battery chargers that put out 40 amps and thought again of charging one bank while running on the other if I needed distance Question ? when you said you had a hundred ah battery did you mean that all four batteries added up to 100 or did you mean each battery was a hundred amps when I look at mine on the other boat they say 180 ams reserve so that does mean you add up the four does it not??? I am trying to get my head around this so when I make my presentation to my wife ** the keeper of the funds } I know what I am talking about thanksMark

Hazel's Closet: High-end fashion at low prices
High-end designer fashions at low prices-what more could a sophisticated woman who loves bargains ask for? Recently- opened Hazel's Closet, a consignment shop in Greentree Plaza, is quickly becoming a treasure trove for women all over Naples, making saving money fashionable as well as fun.
The boutique, which consigns gently used, brand name and designer label clothing, was conceived as a solution to a problem that Kelly Wood and her mother Jeanne Steele, encountered last year.
"I had some high-end clothing I wanted to consign," Wood said. "But all the consignment shops in town told me there was a six-month wait for an appointment. I couldn't believe it."
Steele, a lifetime businesswoman who also owns Vivante, a spa in Punta Gorda, immediately saw opportunity in the lack of consignment stores in Naples and encouraged her daughter to explore the idea of opening their own store. A phone call to a family friend led them to the commercial space in Greentree Plaza. With a collection of clothes from friends, their own closets, and clients from their other businesses, the women opened Hazel's Closet this summer.
"So many women buy expensive, designer clothes, wear them once or twice, and then never look at them again," Wood said.
According to Wood, consignment shops create a win-win situation for women who like to stay on the cutting edge of fashion and those who enjoy luxury and designer items at discounted prices. While women who offer their unused or gently used clothing for consignment receive money back on wardrobe pieces they'll likely never wear again that they can invest in new items, women who are searching for a bargain have the opportunity to wear more expensively tailored and famous label clothing and save by not paying full price in a high-end shop.
With the combination of Wood's natural eye for choosing beautiful clothes with timeless function and taste, and Steele's extensive business knowledge and experience from her dealings with women in her spa for 22 years, Hazel's Closet offers something for every type of woman and every type of style. Women can find casual and sporty fashions as well as evening wear and gowns. The boutique also consigns used designer handbags.
"We are really picky about what we take in,'' Wood said. She added that her experience as a spa manager at The Player's Club in Lely Resort gives her insight into what women are looking for in high-end fashion.
"I get to see and work with women every day, so I get to know what they want," Wood said.
Hazel's Closet extends its collection to a limited number of items for children, also.
Perhaps the newest well-kept secret in town among teenagers, Hazel's Closet sells popular name brand clothing, including Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch.
"Many of the items I sell for $10 at our consignment cost $60 or more at the store," Wood said. "Having these items is really important to teenagers, and we sell them at a great price."
Woods also carries a selection of plus sizes.
Wood accepts only gently used, designer labels with no stains, spots or imperfections. After cleaning them, the items are steamed and pressed before being put on the showroom.
"They look exactly like what you take off the rack at the department store," Wood said. "But their price is reduced by 40 to 60 percent."

Shorter, righty, great athlete and very, very strong. Great hands and very good defender from the back of the court. Can move up the court and finish from the mid-court/net well, but indecisive (prefers defending the baseline).
Both 19 (well Laura turns 19 next week), both ranked about 50 in the world, both have career earnings of around $500,000.00.
So, question - who would you rather be? (essentially this is a question of game styles!)

News: Watson returns from the precipice to beat Pervak
Profile: Heather Watson
Heather Watson is determined to avenge last year's defeat to Agnieszka Radwanska when she takes on the Pole in the third round of the Australian Open.
Watson was forced to dig deep as she came from behind to secure a 4-6 7-6(7) 6-2 victory over Ksenia Pervak to set up a rematch with the world No. 4.
Radwanska handed Watson a sobering 6-0 6-2 defeat in the third round at Wimbledon last year.
"That killed me," Watson said of her defeat to Radwanska. "I was so upset. I was playing at home in front of everyone and I just got wiped off the court."
Watson, who was not aware of her third-round opponent, claiming she had not looked at the draw, believes she learnt a great deal from that defeat and comes into the match a different player after landing her maiden WTA title at the end of last season.
"Well, she's a very different player to most of the girls," Watson said of her next opponent. "She's consistent, got great feel, so it's going to be another physical match.
"I've played her before, so I've got that feeling. I think the first time I played her I just went guns blazing, didn't know what to do. Just went for way too much. This time I'm coming in a different player, and I'm going to approach it differently."
