I ordered one for myself and one for a gift, believing that the size and weight would be suitable for carrying in my purse. In fact, the glass is much to bulky and heavy for such a use. I urged my sister-in-law to return hers. I kept mine, but wish I hadn't. It sits in a drawer.

Like a beautiful jewel box
By Patricia
from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island
I wanted a magnifier for those times I need to enlarge the fonts on Menus, or read Theatre Programs. I would have appreciated a stronger lens so I could see the tiny print on some packaging when I shop. My vision is pretty good, but the label requirements for small packages makes it impossible to read some of them. I only need glasses for my computer, so I just keep this precious magnifier in my purse.

Very Nice
By TC
from Palm Harbor, FL
I have used an old, scratched magnifying glass on a stick for years, and, felt that its' time had come. Coincidentally, this little number went on sale at the NG website. I use it for anything that comes with fine print produced, obviously, for teenagers. It is handy for reading model numbers on any number of electronic components. It has a nice, weighty feel to it, and, neither looks, nor, feels cheap. The celtic design looks attractive on my desk, and, it puzzles those who would know of its' purpose.
Unique and practical

Unique magnifier. Glass protected by silver case. Easy to use and fits in pocket (I frequent auctions).I do wish it was a tad thinner, but then it might loose some magnification qualities.
excellent quality & optics.

Nashville Recap of Season 1, Episode 12: "I've Been Down That Road Before" — Sex and Punches
Shhhhhh, we're currently strumming on an acoustic guitar while wearing a whimsical white pinafore, and it's extremely important because Nashville. Our favorite show is back from hiatus with Season 1, Episode 12 "I've Been Down That Road Before," and thank god. We've spent the last week singing at unsuspecting randoms, binging on bean dip, and trying to communicate with the Ghost of Johnny Cash with a Ouija Board. Basically, our bodies are ready to re-enter Music City.
Also, much like Deacon, we are sober-drunk right now. Deal with it.
I Will Always Love You
OMG, surprise! Deacon's (Charles Esten) going on tour with our favorite country legends, which means he'll be strumming Juliette's (Hayden Panettiere) guitar while simultaneously plucking Rayna's (Connie Britton) heartstrings. His fingers, guys, they wiggle around in all kinds of mysterious ways.
Deacon is just what Juliette needs for people to take her seriously, but his tragic studliness is majorly cockblocking Rayna and Teddy's (Eric Close) relationship. Deacon and Rayna pretty much spend this entire episode dry-humping each other with their eyes until the sexual tension reaches a peak and they have a steamy hot makeout session in an elevator, and let's just say we've never been so smitten by a middle-aged spit-swap in our lives.
So, what does Teddy think of Rayna and Deacon's reunion? He's so sad that his hair coifs itself in a frenzy, and then he goes on a mayoral rampage of doom and destruction. By which we mean he totally does the humpty hump with his co-embezzler, Peggy. But does Teddy feel guilty? Not so much. In fact, he shows up at Rayna's hotel, gets in the way of her poetic love-making with Deacon, and asks for a divorce.
What-the-ever, Teddy, hope you like wearing an orange jumpsuit in jail.
Dancing Queen
In other news, Juliette is having an existential crisis about body glitter, and she's ready to mix things up with her "brand." This gal wants to become a legit country artist, and she needs to nix the back-up dancers and wind machines. You know what that means!
Time for a melancholy on-stage acoustic number (please ignore Juliette's unfortunate billowing hipster blouse), which critics totally hate but her fans totally love. Sigh, we blame Deacon and his sad eyes, and frankly so does everyone else.
And speaking of Deacon, we feel so sorry for him now that Juliette is a "singer / songwriter." Poor dude seemed really turned-on by that one dancer gyrating at him, but whatever. He'll just drink his emotions away with some sparkling water.
Stand By Your Man
Time to check in on everyone's favorite virginal love-birds, Scarlett (Clare Bowen) and Gunnar (Sam Palladio), who are still tenderly exploring each other's bodies through the gift of music. These two are getting closer than ever, but there's just one problem: Avery's (Jonathan Jackson) soul patch. And also just Avery as a person, because he kind of sucks lately.
This up-and-comer is all kinds of jealous that Scarlett and Gunnar are playing with his band, and to make matters worse he owes Scarlett rent money –– which means they have to have yet another awkward hang session ripe with emotions. RIPE.
Here's what goes down: Avery and his confusing facial hair head to Scarlett's house to film a mini-feature about his life, and he straight-up refuses to pay rent when Scar asks for it. Pshh, Avery. We are judging your man-jewelry so hard right now.
Anyway, looks like Scarlett needs a roommate, which brings us to Avery 2.0 (aka Gunnar)....
Lovesick Blues
Look, we know Gunnar and Scarlett are too busy writing poetic limericks to deal with things like "memory," but are we the only ones who saw them making out at The Bluebird a few weeks ago? Because their sexually repressed friendship is about to explode all over the place like a huge can of cheez-wiz.
But forget about that –– what does Avery think of Scarlett's new roomie? Well, dude basically flies into a hunky rage and punches Gunnar in the face. Oh, here go hell come. This dude might come off as a sensitive dreamboat, but Gunnar unleashes his guns (LOL, see what we did there?) and beats Avery to a pulp. His soul patch will never be the same. And neither will his actual soul.
Oh, and breaking news: Marshall Evans wants to give Rayna her own label –– but only if she brings in a couple of fresh new acts, which brings us back to our favorite wandering minstrels, Gunnar and Scarlett! High fives, guys!

Behind-the-scenes pics on Die Hard 5
You lot are quite taken with this film, so here's Brucey in some Mercs falling over…
Posted: 05 Feb 2013
A couple of weeks back, you lot damn near broke our rusty little Internet. We posted up an exclusive video clip of Bruce Willis in the upcoming film A Good Day to Die Hard, and it appears a great many of you share TG's love of watching things become quite a lot on fire.
Judging by the sheer quantity of vehicular carnage on offer in that clip - and this trailer - we're quite excited by this film. And because one of the standout sequences involves a G-Wagen, the good folk at Mercedes-Benz have got their hands on some behind-the-scenes pics on filming the chase scene.
As you can see, there's a lot of Unimog action occurring, as well as some more falling over, some crashes and of course, that military truck that TG.com desperately wants to get its hands on...
The film is released on Valentine's Day so you can judge for yourself whether it'll be a good one. Have a click through the pictures above, and then watch the featurette here, and the new trailer here. Excited?

I think Rashad would attempt to utilize his wrestling this time around. In their 1st bout he was clearly out of bounds.

Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
Quite evidently, Machida's striking expertise and repertoire is larger than Evan's arsenal of overhand rights.
Evans fell in love with his striking after his KO of Liddell, common with wrestlers after scoring a KO.
Last edited by Sniggles; 11-15-2012 at 08:46 PM.
Rashad isn't as quick or as accurate as Machida. If he overcommits like Bader I can easily see him getting KTFO out again. Another big nono he made was trying to talk shit while engaging in strikes with Machida (that was just dumb) and that will certainly land him in stankylegville again.
I do think he learned one valueable lesson in that fight and that was he can get KTFO just like anyone else. He would likely be more strategic and more caution in a rematch.
Personally I think he just needs to drop down to mw as he has no chance in hell at even beating Jon Jones.
Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
i think rashad should drop down now and make a run, he isnt getting any younger, the 205ers are getting bigger, hes actually closer to 185lb gold than 205, a rematch against bisping would be a perfect chum bucket to lure anderson, if only he could just get over having to earn a title shot, unfortunately chael and belfort have set the bar high with a special ingredient that suga just cant match, its called charisma
So I am reading that Rashad is looking to rematch Machida. I am looking to rewatch the stanky leg so this works for me.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
Machida is a horrible matchup for him. Machida keeps his distance well and has great takedown defense as well. Even though Evans would be aiming for a takedown, I still don't think he'd be able to get it and would be forced to standing with Machida and would get knocked out again.

I found this arrangement to be very easy, almost too easy. Advanced musicians can add their own improvisations to this simple base. On the other hand, those who can play by ear probably dont need this arrangement.

Hairdresser lied after boyfriend's car crash in Cumbrian village
Last updated at 11:43, Tuesday, 29 May 2012
A hairdresser "foolishly" lied to protect her boyfriend – after he crashed her car while uninsured.
Rachael Hillary, 20, of Hayton, Aspatria, appeared at Carlisle Magistrates' Court and admitted fraud by false representation, obstructing police and allowing the use of her car by someone who was not insured.
Prosecutor Jane Mackrill told the court that police were called to a crash outside a property in Westnewton, near Aspatria, on October 28 last year.
A Vauxhall Corsa had lost control on a right-hand bend and tumbled 20ft down a steep grass bank, coming to rest against the property.
There was no one in the vehicle when police arrived, but a short time later the owner of the car – Hillary – arrived with her partner.
"She told police she had been driving," Mrs Mackrill continued, "and was wearing pyjamas and a dressing gown and was uninjured.
"Her partner, Bobby Joe Irving, was wearing normal clothes and had an injury to his head."
He was checked over by paramedics and the couple then left together.
The court heard that Hillary's father made a claim to the insurance company on her behalf, and they sent a cheque for several thousand pounds for the car which was a write-off.
She later retracted her statement with police and the insurance company, admitting she was at home when the crash happened.
Geoff Lockerbie, defending, disputed the sending of a cheque by the insurance company – insisting his client had never received one. It had certainly never been cashed.
"I hope you understand the nature of the pressure put on her by her boyfriend of that time," he continued.
She had been at home with her boyfriend feeling unwell on the night, and he wanted to go and get food. His car had a flat tyre, so he persuaded her to allow him to drive hers.
For the fraud and obstructing police charges, Judge Chalk sentenced Hillary to a six-month community order, including a four-week curfew between 8pm and 6am.
He listened to pleas from Mr Lockerbie to allow her to keep her driving licence – vital in her work as a hairdresser as she travels to do wedding hair – and imposed six penalty points on her licence. Hillary was also given a fine of £100, ordered to pay £85 costs and £15 victim surcharge.

UNetbootin est un projet particulièrement pratique est bien pensé, un outil efficace !
Does anybody know whether UNetbootin modern will work on UEFI (not BIOS) and Windows 8.1 PC? Most students here either on MacBook Pro/Air or Windows 8 PC with UEFI/GPT. Thanks.
Yeah, I maybe should go sleep but i won't give up. I need it :)
works great on mac os x -- I've previously used this on linux and windows. only issue is the finder menu bar is not the correct color (I'm using the "dark" menu on yosemite) and is instead the default grey color.
Works great. Xc8 if you can't figure out how to format a >4GB usb drive as fat32 you probably shouldn't be messing around with Unetbootin in the first place.

1 Get Converted
OK-you've just rebuilt your engine and you're getting ready to slide it between the front fenders of your Chevrolet. A new flexplate is part of the plan. Before you drop the engine into the chassis, test the torque converter bolts in the flexplate. You might be surprised to find that the bolts don't fit. And you better believe it's easier to enlarge the holes now instead of working under the confines of your chassis.
2 Decal-Mania
When putting event (or other) decals on your car, cover the sheetmetal with soap and water before you slip the decals in place. The soap and water allows you to adjust the position of the decals before they dry. When you have the decals in a spot you're happy with, simply blot them dry with a soft cloth.
3 Chamber Maid
How much volume will a head lose when milled? Generally speaking, a Chevy engine will lose 1 cc of volume from the combustion for every 0.004-0.005-inch of material removed through a standard milling operation. It's something to think about, especially if you're shooting for a specific compression ratio.
4 Zipper Bags
When disassembling various pieces of your Chevy for a rebuild (i.e. an automatic transmission), don't put all of the various little parts in one big box. Use Ziploc bags, label them with a felt marker, and store all of the parts in order. Better yet, hang the freshly bagged parts on a sheet of pegboard. The parts will be easy to find, and if you're even partially organized, very easy to locate when the time comes to clean 'em up and reinstall them.
5 Light Headed
When dealing with aluminum cylinder heads and/or aluminum cylinder blocks, cold lash numbers can vary greatly from the hot figures. Why does this happen? Simply because aluminum moves around significantly more than cast-iron when hot. Because of this, you can understand why (and how) valve lash figures often become decidedly different with "aluminum" combinations. Although it's difficult to provide hard and fast numbers for all cam and engine combinations, Chevrolet offers this advice: "Cold lash all aluminum engines .010-inch tighter than hot lash specifications." Generally speaking, you can use this as a starting point. Some aluminum head/iron block combinations are very close to an all-iron engine in terms of cold lash, while others might be anywhere from .005- to .010-inch tighter. Your best bet is to contact your cam grinder and ask for a specific cold lash number for your particular combination.
6 I Can See Clearly Now
Many aftermarket gauges are manufactured with plastic lenses. So are most factory gauges. And being plastic, they tend to scratch and become milky with age. While there are a number of great products on the market to cure the "fog," try running down to your local motorcycle dealer. They sell a number of products designed to polish cycle windshields and helmet face masks. Most are cheap, readily available, and work quickly. Best of all, some are available in simple-to-use aerosols that can be sprayed on without disassembling the gauge.

I've tried all versions of Ubuntu, and Lubuntu has to be my favourite. My god is my netbook ever fast on Lubuntu (it uses LXDE gui).
I tried Linux Mint (Olivia, with Cinnamon GUI), on my desktop gaming PC, and it was just too damn slow. I have no idea why it was so slow, since my PC is more than capable enough for any operating system. It must have been running in 2D-mode, or didn't have HW acceleration turned on, or something. But the Linux Mint forums are completely dead, and there wasn't anyone there willing to reply to my posts about the issue.
Just a wild guess, but did you try asking on here? Being that Mint is based off of Ubuntu, I'm sure we could help you.

I ordered a Logitech M525 mouse from Amazon. The Logitech website states in its page title "Full-size mouse"
It arrived today and by looking through the transparent plastic cover and comparing the size physically to other mice, it is only slightly larger than my partner's Logitech M305 laptop mouse and no where near as large as my standard size Logitech MX518 mouse (I, of course, expected the M525 to be the size of the MX518).
I'm sure Amazon will accept the return without any issues as it is, but what if I was to open the packaging?
I ask, because I want to take it out of its packaging to try it to at least see if I can get used to it. Then I wouldn't have to return it.

text: Master of Malt was founded in 1985 as a retailer and bottler of whisky and fine spirits and we are proud to present our rather excellent range of single cask whiskies. Single malt is legally obliged to be aged in oak casks for a minimum of three years to be able to call it-self whisky. However each cask of whisky is inherently unique; even if there were two casks from the same distillery, filled at the same time, in the same type and shape of cask, next to of each other in the warehouse, aged for the same amount of time, essentially identical twins, they would still be different. Like identical twins they may be very similar to one another, wear the same packaging, have flavours in common, but they will still be individuals and this is why single cask whisky is fun, because by their very nature they are limited releases, when the cask is finished no more of the same can ever be produced.We seek high and low to find the very best casks we can and then we bottle them as they are. We leave them at natural cask strength and wouldn't dream of chill-filtering any of the goodness out of the whisky. Finally, hands on heart, we shudder at the merest suggestion of adding even the smallest drop caramel colouring, so the whisky looks as it does in the cask, naked as it were.We also offer 3cl whisky samples of as many of our own bottlings as possible, to give you the opportunity to try before you buy. Plus, if you're looking for an extra special gift, we are more than happy to personalise anything from our own range.

Pat gives his general opinion: "I am skeptical about this alleged apparition." My own view for many years now has been altogether neutral, but I lean towards a relatively greater skepticism, the more I hear about it (I haven't studied it all that closely). I wrote in a past paper about Marian apparitions and private revelation:
I have a great devotion to Fatima and Lourdes and not the slightest opposition to apparitions per se. But, like the Church, I am very cautious and careful regarding any alleged miracle. The Church is my guide in this matter. And we all must respect the Church's judgment. The final word on anything doesn't rest on "Joe/Jane Catholic".
In any event, if the Church comes down against it, then all Catholics have to be obedient and accept that decision. If that happens, and there is a schism of followers who refuse to give it up, then this would reveal their spirit of disobedience and desire to place (alleged) private revelations above that of the magisterium of the Church (which itself would be a bit of a confirmation of the Church's decision, in that case), and that is not Catholic: any way one looks at it. It's a Protestant "private judgment" mindset.

In the story that follows, the Bear Clan assumes the foundation role for the whole nation, and when they land they find the nation's friendship tribe, the Menominee. The Bear Clan is strongly associated with the kaǧi, a term that denotes the raven and northern crow. It is also the name by which the Hocągara know the Menominee.
On account of his vision, a great Menominee (Kaǧi) chief commanded that all manner of supplies be assembled at a white sand beach on Lake Michigan. And when all this had been done and set in order, as the sun reached its zenith the vision came to life: in the pure blue sky of the eastern horizon a single dark cloud began to form and move irresistibly towards them. It was a great flock of ravens (kaǧi), spirit birds with rainbow plumage of iridescent colors. The instant that the first of these landed, he materialized into a naked, kneeling man. The Menominee chief said to his people, "Give this man clothing, for he is a chief." And the others landed in like fashion, and were given great hospitality. They were the Hocąk nation, and that is how they came to Red Banks.
Red Banks (Wisconsin) is the traditional homeland of the Hocąk Nation. It is situated on Green Bay, which the Hocągara called Te-rok, the "Within Lake". Lake Michigan as a whole was called Te-šišik, "Bad Lake", which may well have led the Algonquian peoples round about Lake Winnebago to call them "the people of the Bad Waters", or Winnibégo in Menominee.
The legend of Red Horn (also known as 'He Who Wears Human Heads as Earrings') is found in the oral traditions of the Pawnee (?), Ioway, and Ho-Chunk people (recorded by anthropologist Paul Radin around 1900). The saga of Red Horn depicts his adventure with Turtle and Storms-As-He-Walks (a thunderbird) who fight a race of red haired giants that have been killing Red Horn's people. Red Horn eventually took one of the giant women as a wife. Red Horn has been identified by archaeologists as one of the major mythic figures in Mississipian art, with numerous representations on Southeastern Ceremonial Complex artifacts. The mythic cycle of Red Horn and his sons has certain analogies with the Hero Twins mythic cycle of Mesoamerica.

School Briefs - Holman Middle School
At Holman Middle School the hallways are filled with cheers and excitement, and Holman always has something to cheer about. The first few months of the school year have been very exciting. Holman's fall sports teams, girls' basketball, girls' tennis, boys' soccer, football, cheering, and dance team, are all having excellent seasons. Also, Holman used magazine sales as a fundraiser again this year. Many of the students were anxious to get started selling the magazines, and many students won a right to go to a party and won other prizes.
Holman Middle School also had the PTA Reflections during the beginning of the school year. The topic for the reflections was "The Magic of a Moment." Many students took this as an opportunity to increase their skills in any art category that they choose. Many students participated and made the Reflections Program another success at Holman Middle School.
Holman Middle School is hosting an author again this November. For the past few years, a famous author has come to Holman, and every grade level reads a different one of his/her books. Right now Holman is in the process of getting prepared for a visit from this year's author, Donna Jo Napoli. One of our Reading teachers, Mrs. Alley, works hard to make sure our students are prepared, and the students and teachers go over the top to make the author's welcome to Holman a good one. Holman Middle School continues to grow and become well-known in its new community as they continue to strive for excellence.

Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in "the Bathtub," a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink's tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he's no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack-temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink's health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother.

A fern is any one of a group of about 20,000 species of plants classified in the phylum or division Pteridophyta, also known as Filicophyta. The group is also referred to as Polypodiophyta, or Polypodiopsida when treated as a subdivision of tracheophyta (vascular plants). The study of ferns and other pteridophytes is called pteridology, and one who studies ferns and other pteridophytes is called a pteridologist. The term "pteridophyte" has traditionally been used to describe all seedless vascular plants, making it synonymous with "ferns and fern allies". This can be confusing since members of the fern phylum Pteridophyta are also sometimes referred to as pteridophytes.
The stereotypic image of ferns growing in moist shady woodland nooks is far from being a complete picture of the habitats where ferns can be found growing. Fern species live in a wide variety of habitats, from remote mountain elevations, to dry desert rock faces, to bodies of water or in open fields. Ferns in general may be thought of as largely being specialists in marginal habitats, often succeeding in places where various environmental factors limit the success of flowering plants. Some ferns are among the world's most serious weed species, including the bracken fern growing in the British highlands, or the mosquito fern (Azolla) growing in tropical lakes, both species form large aggressively spreading colonies. There are four particular types of habitats that ferns are found in: moist, shady forests; crevices in rock faces, especially when sheltered from the full sun; acid wetlands including bogs and swamps; and tropical trees, where many species are epiphytes.
Many ferns depend on associations with mycorrhizal fungi. Many ferns only grow within specific pH ranges; for instance, the climbing fern (Lygodium) of eastern North America will only grow in moist, intensely acid soils, while the bulblet bladder fern (Cystopteris bulbifera), with an overlapping range, is only ever found on limestone.
Like the sporophytes of seed plants, those of ferns consist of:
The gametophytes of ferns, however, are very different from those of seed plants. They typically consist of:
One interesting difference between sporophytes and gametophytes might be summed up by the saying that "Nothing eats ferns, but everything eats gametophytes." This is an over-simplification, but it is true that gametophytes are often difficult to find in the field because they are far more likely to be food than are the sporophytes.
Ferns have traditionally been grouped in the Class Filices, but modern classifications assign them their own division in the plant kingdom, called Pteridophyta.
Traditionally, three discrete groups of plants have been considered ferns: two groups of eusporangiate ferns--families Ophioglossaceae (adders-tongues, moonworts, and grape-ferns) and Marattiaceae--and the leptosporangiate ferns. The Marattiaceae are a primitive group of tropical ferns with a large, fleshy rhizome, and are now thought to be a sibling taxon to the main group of ferns, the leptosporangiate ferns. Several other groups of plants were considered "fern allies": the clubmosses, spikemosses, and quillworts in the Lycopodiophyta, the whisk ferns in Psilotaceae, and the horsetails in the Equisetaceae. More recent genetic studies have shown that the Lycopodiophyta are only distantly related to any other vascular plants, having radiated evolutionarily at the base of the vascular plant clade, while both the whisk ferns and horsetails are as much "true" ferns as are the Ophioglossoids and Marattiaceae. In fact, the whisk ferns and Ophioglossoids are demonstrably a clade, and the horsetails and Marattiaceae are arguably another clade. Molecular data - which remain poorly constrained for many parts of the plants' phylogeny - have been supplemented by recent morphological observations supporting the inclusion of Equisetaceae within the ferns, notably relating to the construction of their sperm, and peculiarities of their roots (Smith et al 2006, and references therein).
One possible means of treating this situation is to consider only the leptosporangiate ferns as "true" ferns, while considering the other three groups as "fern allies". In practice, numerous classification schemes have been proposed for ferns and fern allies, and there has been little consensus among them. A new classification by Smith et al. (2006) is based on recent molecular systematic studies, in addition to morphological data. This classification divides ferns into four classes:
The last group includes most plants familiarly known as ferns. Modern research supports older ideas based on morphology that the Osmundaceae diverged early in the evolutionary history of the leptosporangiate ferns; in certain ways this family is intermediate between the eusporangiate ferns and the leptosporangiate ferns.
The complete classification scheme proposed by Smith et al. (2006; alternative names in brackets):
Ferns of the genus Azolla are very small, floating plants that do not look like ferns. Called mosquito fern, they are used as a biological fertilizer in the rice paddies of southeast Asia, taking advantage of their ability to fix nitrogen from the air into compounds that can then be used by other plants.
A great many ferns are grown in horticulture as landscape plants, for cut foliage and as houseplants, especially the Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata). The Bird's Nest Fern, Asplenium nidus, is also popular, and the staghorn ferns, genus Platycerium, have a considerable following.
Several ferns are noxious weeds or invasive species, including Japanese climbing fern (Lygodium japonicum), mosquito fern and sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis). Giant water fern (Salvinia molesta) is one of the world's worst aquatic weeds. The important fossil fuel coal consists of the remains of primitive plants, including ferns.
Ferns have been studied and found to be useful in the removal of heavy metals, especially arsenic, from the soil
Other ferns with some economic significance include:
In Slavic folklore, ferns are believed to bloom once a year, during the Ivan Kupala night. Although it's exceedingly difficult to find, anyone who takes a look of a fern flower will be happy and rich for the rest of his life. Similarly in Finland, the tradition holds that one who finds the seed of a fern in bloom on Midsummer night, will by the possession of it be able to travel under a glamour of invisibility and shall be guided to the locations where eternally blazing Will o' the wisps mark the spot of hidden treasure caches.
"Pteridomania"' is a term for the Victorian era craze of fern collecting and fern motifs in decorative art including pottery, glass, metals, textiles, wood, printed paper, and sculpture "appearing on everything from christening presents to gravestones and memorials." The fashion for growing ferns indoors led to the development of the Wardian case, a glazed cabinet that would exclude air pollutants and maintain the necessary humidity.
The dried form of ferns was also used in other arts, being used as a stencil or directly inked for use in a design. The botanical work, The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland, is a notable example of this type of nature printing. The process, patented by the artist and publisher Henry Bradbury, impressed a specimen on to a soft lead plate. The first publication to demonstrate this was Alois Auer's The Discovery of the Nature Printing-Process.
In addition, the book Where the Red Fern Grows has elicited many questions about the mythical "red fern" named in the book. There is no such known plant, although there has been speculation that the oblique grape-fern, Sceptridium dissectum, could be referred to here, because it is known to appear on disturbed sites and its fronds may redden over the winter.

When a car gets an editor's attention from 50 feet in the air, you know it's impressive. That was the case at this year's Memphis Super Chevy Show. I'd decided to take in some of the racing from atop the tower suites at Memphis International Raceway. It's a great view not afforded to regular attendees and can make for an unusual vantage point from which to take photos.
That's where I was when this effervescent orange Nova pulled out from staging lanes and into the burnout box for the first round of the Super Chevy True Street Challenge. The pearlescent paint with contrasting metallic silver stripes and blacked-out windows put it on my radar, but that was just for starters. Driver/owner Stacey Warren did a short burnout to get the Mickey Thompson drag radials clean and hot. It sounded healthy, even from my bird's-eye perch. When he launched and clicked off a 10.04 and followed it with a 9.97 at 133, I had a feeling I had a feature car on my hands.
Stacey looked to have the 10-second class sewn up, but he chewed up and threw the fan belt on his last pass, knocking him from contention It wasn't long before I was searching the car out in the pits. It can get a little dicey when you want to feature a drag car. From the top of the tower, the Nova looked spectacular. What would it be like when I got up close for further scrutiny? Torn interior with one seat? Body rot and rust bubbles under a colorful $200 paintjob? Dents on the side I didn't get to see? I've had this happen to me more than a few times.
This wasn't one of them. As I got up close and personal with the Deuce, I was amazed to find a street/strip machine so nice that that had it been on the show side of the event, it could have been in contention for a Best in Class trophy. Interior? Perfect condition with lots of custom touches. The paint was even hotter than it looked from the top of the tower suites, with meticulous bodywork. Engine compartment? Detailed to the nines with a 408-inch small-block making lots and lots of power. Even the trunk area was righteous, earning him an Editor's Choice Top 10 Drag Car award.
Ironically, the owner bought this Nova because his friends were giving him a hard time about his '68 Camaro being too nice to race. They thought he should use the Camaro for shows get another car to beat up on. Novas had caught his eye, so Stacey started looking for one to make his beater when he found this example. The previous owner had stripped out the interior, the first step in it becoming a racecar. It also came with a 9-inch with 4.11 gears, Caltrac bars and split monoleaf springs, and a 700-R4 trans. It was perfect for what Stacey intended.
It was after taking it to a Cruisin' The Coast show in Mississippi in 2011 that work on the X-body began in earnest. "I decided to give the Nova with a basic paint job and one thing led to another. Before I knew it, there was nothing left to take apart," says Stacey, a who owns a building company that specializes in doing repair work to homes damaged by fire, water, natural disasters, etc. "I had stripped it all the way down, including the wiring. I even made a roll-around frame to mount the body on so that I could take the front subframe and rearend out to keep from getting overspray on it while painting."
It was at this point he discovered the front subframe was bent. He found a Smith Racecraft tubular front clip on racingjunk.com, installed it, then got going on the bodywork. He discovered damage to the left rear quarter around the taillight area so he grafted on a quarter from a different Nova, then filled in the side marker lights. He traded his doors for a ventless set from a '73 model, installed them, then smoothed the firewall and "spent countless hours blocking and sanding."

Illegal Alien Charged With Immigration Violation
ERIE, Pa. - Acting United States Attorney Robert S. Cessar announced today, April 13, 2010, that Silvano Luis‑Vasquez of Oaxaca, Mexico, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Erie on a charge of violating federal immigration laws.
The one‑count indictment named Luis‑Vasquez, age 32, as the sole defendant.
According to the indictment presented to the court, on or about March 31, 2010, Luis‑Vasquez was found to be unlawfully present within the United States. Luis‑Vasquez had been previously ordered deported and removed from the United States on July 22, 2008 and was removed from the United States on August 14, 2008. The defendant subsequently reentered the United States, and was found to be present in this country without the permission of the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Assistant United States Attorney Christine A. Sanner, who presented the case to the grand jury, indicated that the law provides for a maximum total sentence of ten years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection and the Pennsylvania State Police conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Poised for success, Texas MPA students are sought after by organizations in a variety of sectors including public accounting, finance, industry, public service, and consulting. View organizations that recently recruited MPA students.
The Texas MPA curriculum lays a solid educational foundation for the Uniform Certified Public Accounting examination. Candidates from UT Austin typically have pass rates much higher than the statewide and national averages on any given part of the exam. In fact, several of our students have received the prestigious American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Sells Award for earning the highest cumulative scores on the four sections of the exam on their first attempt.
