In the recent time a huge and lethal earthquakes was happen in Japan which magnitude 9.0. However, it is not the large quake in the world. It is Japan's biggest quake. If we were seeing back to 1900, many other earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or bigger have ruptured across the world. Here we are listed the worlds top 10 biggest recorded earthquakes.
Mike the Seismologists have observed an increase in high-magnitude, high- crash earthquakes in the most recent few years, but there are some theories to clarify this. He told Australian Geographic that the Power released by earthquakes on a worldwide scale in the last decade is a lot more than in the earlier 25-to30 years. However, in the year of 1952-1965 had equally as a lot power released.
There perhaps cyclic clustering patterns of high-power earthquakes that last about few years, interspersed with longer less-active periods, he says, but there is not sufficient information to be sure. "The difficulty in looking for patterns is that we didn't have the seismological tools obtainable for making exact footage ahead of the earthquakes so it is too early to definitely recognize a tendency of this type."
1. 1960 Chile, Magnitude 9.5
In this earthquake, Just about 1,655 public were killed and it was the biggest earthquake ever recorded in this time. Injured over than Thousands people, and millions were gone on the streets.

In this case, the North America plate is diving above the Pacific plate.

Learning CommunityDear Students (and prospective students)!
Welcome to College-in-the-Woods, a Living-Learning Community for nearly 40 years! Our guiding theme is "Feeding a Hungry World;" our Living-Learning Community will have opportunities for participating in that theme!
For Fall 2015 we are planning Learning Community opportunities in both Oneida Hall and Mohawk Hall. A Learning Community is a great way to learn right in your own residence hall, with the people you live with!
We have, limited to CIW students, and early availability for those who enroll in the Oneida or Mohawk Learning Community:
- I'm offering CDCI 395: "Feeding a Hungry World," a 2-credit service-learning course, taught in a CIW classroom, limited to 18 students. It carries Harpur W credit, and is a great way to get involved in the local community, and help to feed a hungry world.
- I'm also offering a section of Univ 101: "How to Be a Professional," team-taught with Pete Nardone, professional in Student Services. This is a 2-credit course designed to help students adjust to the university environment and to learn something about professional ethics. Harpur W credit, taught in a CIW classroom.
- Two sections of WRIT 111, a course strongly recommended for all first-year students, a 4-credit course carrying "J" credit (writing and oral communication), again, taught in a CIW classroom.
- One section of UNIV 101, Freshman Year Experience, taught by a CIW Fellow in a CIW classroom, a 2-credit with "Oral Communication" credit. Helps students adjust to the university environment.
- Philosophy 146: Law and Justice (4 credits). One discussion sections is reserved for CIW students and may be the only way that a first-year student will get into this course. Held in a CIW classroom.
- Political Science 113: Comparative Politics (4 credits). One section is reserved for CIW students, and held in a CIW Classroom.
Students in the Mohawk or Oneida Learning Community are required to take two courses: we recommend one of CDCI 395, Philo 146, and Poli Sci 113, and one of the WRIT111 sections or Univ 101 or Univ 180.
For more information (and for more explanation about all these confusing academic abbreviations), please contact email@example.com. You will be able to enroll in the Mohawk or Oneida Learning Community when you have paid your housing deposit and request housing online. If you choose learning community and put CIW number one on your preferences, you should expect an email from me on your BINGHAMTON.EDU account! Our community partners include (but are not limited to) VINES Urban Farm, SUNY VINES, CHOW, Food and Health Network of the Southern Tier, Meals on Wheels, Food Not Bombs, Catholic Charities Food Pantry, Rescue Mission, Sodexo, Corazon de Dahlia, Lone Maple, Lost Dog, Challah for Hunger, Binghamton Farm Share, Bloodnik Farms, and others.You will need to do your online "health form" pretty quickly also, since we can't put you into courses until you have done that.
• Note that Mohawk Hall is "break housing" and Oneida Hall is not. If you need break housing, you should request the Mohawk Learning Community, and if you don't, the Oneida Learning Community.
Other Living-Learning Opportunities in CIW
• There may be spaces available in some of these courses when you come for July registration; if you are housed in CIW, be sure to look for those sections!
• For students in Chemistry 107 and Biology 117 (the normal first-semester courses for pre-health students) we have special study group opportunities, available to all CIW residents.
• College-in-the-Woods has a Faculty Fellows program which connects University faculty and staff that are eager to work with students and participate in the academic life of CIW. We have events throughout the year that provide an opportunity for CIW students to meet with Faculty Fellows including the Fresh Start program during opening weekend and Student-Faculty Dinners during course registration.
• The CIW RA's sponsor programs to enhance residents' learning experiences; programs often focus on areas that have immediate relevance for student interest and life
• The Assistant Director, the Resident Directors, and the Resident Assistants are all deeply involved in the living-learning concept. We all agree that "learning" is not limited to the classroom or to work for courses - learning is something that happens throughout a student's life and often the most important learning occurs where the student lives. That's what our Living-Learning Community is all about. I look forward to working with you!
Your Faculty Master,
Tony Preus

Decollate Snails have been a part of the organic solution for garden snails for years.
They have been in common use in the citrus industry and there is a large amount of
literature on their use in the groves. The Decollate Snail will eat young snails and
slugs as well as some dead leaf litter. On rare occasions Decollate Snails have been
seen on tender seedlings. This is not an issue if there is adequate organic material
around. Decollate snails prefer a loose thick mulch or better yet a green mulch of
low growing plants. It can take a couple of years for the snails to bring the population
of the garden snails to a reasonable level, they will not likely eat all of them, then
there would be nothing for them to eat. And they are susceptible to the same poisons
that kill other snails.

Could it get any worse? Answer: YES. At first, I listened with only half an ear to a radio report about federal inspectors discovering yet more disturbing conditions at one of the egg facilities at the center of the salmonella controversy. It's become clear that a callous disregard for public health is at the root of the contamination, which has sickened more than 1,500 people. Free Eggless Recipes > True Blood's Kristin Bauer Opposes Experiments on New Mexico Chimpanzees Kristin Bauer, who plays a vampire on the TV series True Blood, is sinking her teeth into a real-life drama. She's urging the National Institutes of Health to halt its plan to move chimpanzees from the Alamogordo Primate Facility in New Mexico to a laboratory in Texas where they will be used in cruel, invasive experiments. Read Kristin's Letter > Not-So-Happy Meals: McDonald's Tops List of Worst Fast-Food Kids Meals With 840 calories, 37 grams of fat, and about as much sodium as a child should consume in an entire day, McDonald's Mighty Kids Meal has topped the list of the five most unhealthful fast-food meals marketed to children. The list, based on analysis by PCRM dietitians, also includes meals from Wendy's, KFC, and A&W, as well as Burger King's just-released BK Kids Breakfast Meal. Read the Report > Tulane 'Criminally Liable' for Pig Deaths Animals in New Orleans have seen their share of suffering: Thousands died during Hurricane Katrina, and thousands more were victims of the recent oil spill. But a new legal complaint could spare the lives of pigs being deliberately killed in Tulane University School of Medicine's trauma training course. State-of-the-Art Solution > Kickstart Countdown: Journey to Improved Health Starts Sept. 6 The next 21-Day Vegan Kickstart begins in five days. It's your chance to go vegan and get healthy. And just in time for back-to-school season, this program features the Kickstart Your Kids' Health conference call. You'll learn from two leading pediatricians how the road to lifelong good health starts in childhood. iPhone App > Carcinogen Found in Grilled Chicken: PCRM Lawsuit Moves Forward PCRM's warning-label lawsuit against fast-food restaurants moved forward last month. The State of California Court of Appeal in Los Angeles reversed a lower court's ruling, putting consumers one step closer to victory. The lawsuit seeks to compel McDonald's and other chains to post warnings in California restaurants about the cancer risk of grilled chicken. List of Restaurants > Copyright 2010. All rights reserved.

Air-raid sirens were sounded in Jerusalem on Friday, marking the first time the holy city has been targeted by rocket fire from Gaza.
Initial reports from Israeli television said three rockets had landed in the area of Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem.
The alarms come just a day after Gaza rockets landed on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Previously, Palestinian rocket fire has been largely confined to an area closer to the Gaza Strip, leaving Israel's major population centers largely unscathed.
Israel has authorized the call-up of roughly 16,000 reservists in a sign that a ground invasion of Gaza may be imminent.

Intertextuality, genre experimentation and the re-writing, parodic or otherwise, of European and more broadly, Western literary models have become conspicuous characteristics of Latin American narrative. That trend had been all the more predominant in recent decades. This course seeks to study these characteristics in a series of works from the last quarter of the last century and to explain them in relation to the evolution of well established literary forms and genres such as the historical novel, the fantastic or the novel of thedictator or even the very notion of literature.

Foolproof Roses | Winter-Hardy Varieties
It's also a very different type of plant from those Canadian Explorer roses that he loves, in that it's a product of nature herself, not the work of a plant breeder. Wild roses like rugosa are "species" roses—named because each represent its own species, not just a variety within a species—and they've evolved over time to be naturally resistant to cold weather and disease.
In a wetter corner of his backyard, Swain points to another species rose, the swamp rose (Rosa palustris). "Roses don't like wet feet, but Rosa palustris is happy growing in a swamp—the opposite of well-drained soil. It's eight feet high; has small, single pink flowers; it's fabulously fragrant; and the bees love it!" Plus, it grows on its own roots. Which, strange as it sounds, is a big deal with roses.
"When you buy a rose from [a traditional rose company], you may actually be getting two roses," Swain explains. "There's the root, which is one kind of rose, and then a piece of another rose that's grafted onto it. When the top of the rose freezes and dies back, what sprouts up is not the rose you wanted but the rose it was grafted onto—the understock."
To preserve your original rose—and to keep that unknown rose from rearing its head like some weird mythical hydra—you must protect the part of the plant growing above the graft union at all cost. Burying, mulching, or putting a cone over it are all standard measures. But Swain knows there's a better way: "There's a whole bunch of roses that don't require that treatment at all!" For us cold-climate gardeners, these roses growing on their own roots—called "own root" or "single rootstock"—make winter survival possible.
Swain points to another modern hybrid, the French Meidiland series, which are own-root hedge hybrids that bloom repeatedly and are "tougher than nails," he says. "No banking the soil around the base, no pruning—you just leave them be! Big mass of flowers!
"Every time I go to the garden center, there's a whole new series of tough roses, like Knock Out. So why would you grow something that diseases attack every year? Or, for that matter, that need to be sprayed? No one needs to spray roses. Knock it off!"
For a few seconds Swain considers the argument of historic, high-maintenance roses versus the newer, easy-care ones, before tossing it aside like compost: "People say to me, 'Oh, I've got to have "Mr. Lincoln" because my grandmother had it,' or 'Oh, this is a historic garden—this is what Thomas Jefferson had.'" Swain's shouting again, but this time he's grinning: "And I say, 'It may be what he had, but if he were alive today, he'd say, "Give me the best, give me the newest, give me the hottest one!"'"
This year's Rose Sunday at Connecticut's Elizabeth Park, on the Hartford/West Hartford line, is set for June 15. More information at: elizabethparkct.org.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Man who threatened officers vowed 'the crime of the century'
Oct 31, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff Writer
Court documents have revealed the contents of online threats that a Hudson man reportedly posted last week against area law enforcement and government officials.
In one of the statements, which appeared on Facebook, Steven Ervin, 55, said he was writing from the Riverton Branch Library.
He was arrested without incident Friday afternoon and made his initial appearance in court Thursday in Carbon County.
Officials said he had specifically mentioned the Carbon County Sheriff's Office and Rawlins Police Department in his alleged threats.
His bond was set at $100,000 cash.
Ervin already is on probation for simple battery, and in 2007 he was sentenced to 18-54 months in jail for robbery in Carbon County.
Sgt. Derrek Craig of the Carbon County Sheriff's Office said Ervin seems to have held a grudge against the officials involved in the 2007 case.
"It appears that Mr. Ervin has a vendetta against these people and all court officials and law enforcement in general," Craig wrote in an affidavit filed last week.
On Thursday, Oct. 24, Ervin posted several statements on Facebook that were threatening toward law enforcement, court officials and Wyoming Department of Corrections employees. His messages included phrases including "I'm (going to) kill all you," and, "... my network of associates within 48 hours will do something so drastic..."
He continued, "I'm at the Riverton library as I type these words. When I leave here in five minutes my associates and I are about to unlease (sic) the crime of the century..."
Later, he indicated he already had committed a crime "guaranteed to get me nation wide coverage."
Ervin addressed Carbon County law enforcement in another part of the post, writing, "Nothing is going to protect you from the smackdown..." He referenced the "poor citizens of Rawlins" and said he would make an "example" out of officers in that area.
"In 48 hours I can guarantee anybody and everybody on my friend list is gonna (sic) be investigated by the FBI and all those three letter entities to try to put together what made me snap," he wrote.
Craig said Ervin's posts were viewed and were available for download in Carbon County.
"(They) were immediately of concern to all of Carbon County law enforcement, prosecution, court officials, judges and Department of Corrections employees," Craig wrote.
Local response
As a result of the threats, Wyoming Probation and Parole asked the Fremont County Sheriff's Office to arrest and hold Ervin. A K-9 unit was called to search for explosives at the Fremont County Courthouse in Lander, and the Riverton and Lander branches of the Wyoming Department of Corrections closed early on Friday as a precautionary measure.
Nothing out of the ordinary was found in the local courthouse.
The threatening incident is being investigated by the Wyoming Probation and Parole office and the Carbon County Sheriff's Office.
Ervin's preliminary hearing has not been scheduled.

Putting armed police officers on campus isn't the answer to school violence, educators say
The NRA's proposal to put armed police officers on every campus won't prevent school violence, local school and police officials said today.
"I don't know that more guns is the answer, to be honest," said Dan Stepenosky, superintendent of the Las Virgenes Unified School District, and a former Navy lieutenant who did his doctoral dissertation on school shootings.
(NRA calls for armed police officer in every school)
"I'd rather spend the money on counselors, on school psychologists."
This morning, the National Rifle Association broke its silence on the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., last week, when a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at an elementary school. In a news conference, NRA President Wayne LaPierre proposed that an armed police officer be placed at every school.
But Cmdr. Randy Pentis, Thousand Oaks police chief, said that having more guns on campus won't solve the problem of school violence.
"Simply arming everybody is not the answer," Pentis said. "Sadly, there are some things that can't be prevented."
Many local schools, particularly high schools, already have police officers on campus, known as school resource officers. California's education code prohibits anyone but police from having guns on campus.
"I would hope this tragedy doesn't move us toward making our campuses armed camps," said Stan Mantooth, Ventura County superintendent of schools. "That's a very slippery slope."
Two state governors, though, are open to the idea.
Bob McDonnell, governor of Virginia, suggested in a radio interview that if adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School were armed, they might have been able to save some lives, according to CNN. And Rick Perry, governor of Texas, believes teachers who are properly trained should have access to weapons in school, CNN said.
Still, school officials questioned the wisdom of training teachers and principals to use guns, saying they were concerned they might inadvertently become a danger themselves.
"I have tremendous concerns about school districts issuing firearms and training personnel to use firearms, then trusting their judgment to make the determination in a critical moment to shoot somebody ..." said Jeff Baarstad, superintendent of the Conejo Valley Unified School District. "We're not in that business." Pentis agreed.
"I don't think we should arm principals and teachers at all," he said. "They're educators. They're not police officers."
What will help is layers of protection, Pentis said.
School resource officers provide one layer, he said. Training provides another, so educators and students know what to do if a gunman comes on campus. Districts also must make sure campuses are as secure as possible — making sure doors have deadbolts and can be locked from the inside, for example, he said.
"Being prepared is what's going to keep us as safe as humanly possible," Pentis said.
That's going to take additional funding — money that should come from public safety budgets, Baarstad said.
"I don't think we should have to spend education money on it," he said. "This is a public safety issue. We're still trying to get back on our feet."
Another layer of protection would be investing more in school counselors and psychologists, educators said.
"It's really about connections with adults and peers who care about you and support you," Stepenosky said. "When students and adults are isolated from the world around them, that's when incidents like these can happen. I would rather have more school counselors, school psychologists to support kids, nurture them and guide them."

In its first year Douzo Restaurant & Sushi was named "Boston's Best Sushi" by the Improper Bostonian and has become a hot spot for sushi lovers ever since. Located in Back Bay, the restaurant offers an inventive twist on traditional sushi favorites. You will still find the usual suspects on the menu such as Tuna Tartar, Raw Oysters and Kobe Beef Carpaccio, but you can also uncover some surprises, including Monkfish Pate, Torched Style Yellowtail and an Eel Avocado Roll.
If you're feeling a little daring, try the Omakase special, which is the chef's choice from the sushi bar. Entrees include Lightly Battered Shrimp Tempura, Sirloin Steak with Black Pepper Sauce, Thinly Sliced Prime Rib in a Sukiyaki Sauce, Black Cod Misoyaki and Grilled Duck with Cranberry Teriyaki Sauce.
Douzo (which means "please come in") offers its modern Japanese cuisine in a modern setting, with sleek white and dark contrasts to ceiling fixtures and walls and large tables for all the sushi plates. Douzo has a varied wine list, including a red, white or sake flight and a good array of cocktails like the Lychee Martini and a Tokyo Cosmo to get your night started right after dinner.
Boston Magazine
A big Japanese fusion restaurant that has something for everyone? Amazingly, this crowd-pleaser mostly pulls it off.
THE PRETTY PEOPLE are back. Yes, those stylish young professionals who went underground during the dining scene's Great Malaise have come out of hiding. And it seems they've discovered a new upscale Japanese spot in the Fenway and made it their clubhouse.
It's easy to see why: Basho is a huge, 239-seat space cleverly divided by various bamboo and frosted-glass screens. The room's glossy, angular decor feels like a more-elegant West Elm catalog come to life. But it's also mere steps from the ballpark, so it walks a wise line between the hordes who pile in seeking beer and California rolls, and the omakase crowd that embraced its sister restaurant, Douzo, in the Back Bay.
The menus of the two eateries do overlap, but Basho calls itself a "Japanese brasserie." This food isn't as hearty as the term would indicate, but if it refers to the crowd-friendly menu, Basho nails it. You'll find sushi, maki, and sashimi variations, plus tempura, meats cooked on a robata (open charcoal) grill, and a laundry list of hot and cold appetizers. Given the menu's size, it's impressive how good the food is.
Start with the apps – if you jump right into the sushi, you'll be missing out. Chef Youji Iwakura, an alum of Ken Oringer's Uni, earned kudos in his previous gig for his homemade tofu. It's still excellent: cool and creamy with mushrooms, yuzu, and soy dashi. Black cod with yuzu miso (yes, yuzu is a theme here) would benefit from crisper skin, but the flavor is deep and zingy. Avoid the wan pork ramen soup, though.
The sushi list is overwhelming, but a safe bet is the "flavored sushi" – single pieces that range from $3.50 for cured saba sushi with apple-mustard soy to $13 for foie gras sushi with apple and sweet potato. All are finely tuned, and more delicate than the many crazy rolls, dragon rolls, and their ilk. There's nothing wrong with those, but smaller bites leave room for robata-grilled chicken thighs and eggplant. (Skip the dry pork tenderloin.) And don't miss the seared scallops with shiitake risotto and pine-nut brown-butter sauce. It's smartly fusion-y – just like the restaurant itself.
Boston Magazine
Best of Boston 2010: Affordable Sushi
Surveying the city's sushi bars, there's a big distinction between "not expensive" and "cheap." Douzo is a delight, with ultra-fresh fish and prices that stay weeknight low. The daily catch is rolled up in everything from spicy tuna maki for the mainstream crowd to more adventurous options like the seared yellowtail-wrapped Torch Roll with yuzu and black tobiko.

Douzo! Great Sushi in the Back Bay
Having done a first rate job of eating my way through the holidays, I wanted to go to a Sushi restaurant for my birthday dinner this past Thursday. Lauren and I have been to a couple of good ones, I would have loved to go back to Oishii, but we're always on the lookout for something new, so… Lauren called O Ya (popular and expensive near South Station) and made a reservation and they asked for her credit card and said that if we didn't cancel within 72 hours our reservation, they would charge her card $75.00!!! What? That's over the top, so we canceled it ASAP!
I found Douzo in the Back Bay because they were named "2010 Best Affordable Sushi" by Boston Magazine. That's just what we wanted; really good Sushi at a reasonable price, but definitely not cheap sushi (that sounds dangerous). Douzo has a very sleek, contemporary urban feel to it. The service was good, the sushi was terrific, but the desserts were just okay.
The sushi was beautifully presented. My photos didn't do it justice, so you will have to use your imagination or go to their website www.douzosushi.com where there are photos of everything on the menu.For starters, we tried the Edamame with Kosher Salt and Lime, the Seaweed Salad, and Soft Shell Crab Tempura. Next we had three Maki Rolls: The Back Bay Roll (asparagus, cucumber, avacado, wrapped with seared tuna, touch of wasabi sauce), The Torch Roll (avacado, cucumber wrapped with seared yellow tuna and a touch of yuzo sauce and black tobiko), and the Red Spider Roll (soft shell crab wrapped with tuna, tobilo and a touch of unagi sauce). We also tried the Red Snapper Sushi from the Special Menu which was simple, but good. I think we all had our favorite, and they were all decicious and fresh. That's my idea of a great meal for that January "blah and bloat" feeling! What's next? Exercise?
Another great thing about Douzo is it's central location right next to Back Bay Station and Copley Plaza and right next to 131 Dartmouth parking garage where you can park for up to four hours for $5.00- bargain!!! This is especially nice with all the snow flying around! Hope you get a chance to try it if you like Japanese food!
Coming up….I made a trip to Barbara Lynch's Stir with a group of friends! Stay tuned it was really fun!
Bon Appetit and Happy New Year!
Robin and Lauren

Last year I joined a fun set of ATC swaps that were made in the style of girls painted by artist Sarah Bishop. They are girls whose proportions are exaggerated to emphasize all that their momma gave them. It is a fun style that yields great results. A style that I have returned to a number of times.

The idea for this card came from Sean Kingston's video Fire Burning.
My third and final card for this swap was titled Stretch

text: Business The 6 most exciting tech startups from ER Accelerator's sixth class Above: ERA's Seventh Class of Startups present at IAC Headquarters April 29, 2014 8:59 AM Harrison Weber 0 New York-centric tech accelerator Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator today presented a new class of startups at IAC headquarters. ER Accelerator offers startups a four-month program with the typical mix of perks, including seed funding, mentorship, and exposure to venture capital investors. Noteworthy graduates include Stray Boots and TripleLift. Shift your eyes below for a list of our favorite six (out of 10) companies in ER Accelerator's sixth class. Bookalokal Bookalokal is like Airbnb for dining. The company's idea isn't new — competitors include Feastly, HomeDine, EatWith, Cookening, and SupperKing (update: Both HomeDine and SupperKing have shuttered their services). Yet Bookalokal's traction on the extreme end of the sharing economy shows promise. The company currently has 300 hosts, currently operates in Brussels, Washington D.C., and New York, and plans to "launch in 100 cities over the next five years." Lingo Live Lingo Live is a language learning startup going after big businesses. Think: Rosetta Stone for the enterprise, but without the CDs. Lingo Live shares that it "lets [employees] connect with a live native teacher for one-on-one lessons" and simultaneously allows administrators to monitor company progress. The company currently operates in Brazil, San Francisco, Mexico, and Argentina. Farmivore Although subscription services are no longer hot, Farmivore is going after the "14 million households where people are making smoothies and juices at home." In short, this is a subscription to weekly juicing supplies. If you're into juicing, you may be interested, because making juice at home is a very inconvenient hobby. Farmivore projects that it will have 4,000 weekly subscribers by the end of the year (at $40 per week each). Dashride This one's pretty interesting. Dashride is attempting to modernize the traditional taxi and limo business. The goal is to replace aging dispatching software with Uber and Lyft-like features. It likely won't disrupt the disrupters, but it could make them nervous. OwnOut OwnOut offers targeted coupons in exchange for access to your purchase history. Customers share their purchase history (via Gmail) and get deals based on what they've bought. It's an interesting concept, although it requires an exchange of privacy for deals. Cups Cups claims it's "creating a new kind of coffee shop chain." The company offers a subscription service for unlimited drinks at coffee shops in New York and Tel Aviv. The concept isn't bulletproof, but as a coffee snob, my interest is piqued.

It's a gray, warning afternoon. A storm promises to whip through and shake all the pods down from the mighty oaks, if nothing else.
I want to remember how yesterday, in the quiet of a rare peaceful homework time, I heard the hum of water running.
"Little One?" I called. "What are you doing?" He was washing the red bits of crayon off of his yellow crayon. His little nubbin hands wrapped around that fat yellow thing. So assured.
I want to remember how our wiry oldest one pulled TWO! new library books out of his bag. His words spilling out so fast.
And we broke the teacher's rule. One whole book start to finish before the next one. But that shelved book smell and the crinkle of the cellophane wrap and the promise of adventure were too much. I want to remember the bright blue of his eyes and his smattering of freckles all filled with the the hope of something new.
I want to remember how it feels to be close after sharp words and bruised egos. When the hurt is still raw, it helps more than anything to be close-pacing my breathing to my husband's.
I want to remember how 11 years have changed him from wisp to solid and how he breathes so steady. I want to tuck away how a morning walk told me that it wasn't all that important and the soft breeze of the fan felt fresh when I said no to hurt and yes to healing.
I am storing up. Stashing away the ruby toned moments that I so often overlook in my listing and in my perfectioning. They sparkle, shimmer, shore up.

Watch These Kids Who Love Playing in Leaves — Daily Distraction
Dogs may love playing in leaves, but they've got nothing on these kids.
Dogs may love playing in leaves, but they've got nothing on these kids.
You may have seen the clip of the four pugs tilting their heads at the same time (they're featured prominently in our video above). Turns out those aren't the only pugs who've developed that habit.
Yesterday we took a look at what might be a pug's greatest natural talent: hopping up the stairs. Today, we observe how they get back down.
Ah, pugs. They'll eat just about anything, they'll knock all your bath supplies into the tub, but maybe their most special talent involves going up the stairs.
If someone offered you the chance to take a dip in the "Devil's Swimming Pool," would you do it? Well, you can ... if you dare.

Yep, another black and gold combination; this time paired with a simple gray t-shirt. Casual and a bit sassy. I just love the tone-on-tone polka dots on this vest. It's definitely not your grandpa's sweater vest! I also love this men's version from TheUrbanApparel.com with simple polka dot accents. Menswear trend + polka dot trend = a winner.

NELSON, B.C. — When Bishop John Corriveau first took his post in the Diocese of Nelson he faced the challenge of ministering to a widely dispersed flock.
The diocese — which runs from Princeton, up to Golden, over to the Alberta border and down along the 49th parallel — stretches over highly mountainous terrain.

MADRID — Pope Benedict saw that 1.4 million young people could be buffeted by gusty winds and drenched by a driving rain and still fall silently to their knees to adore the Eucharist.
At the final Mass closing World Youth Day Aug. 21 in Madrid, the pope challenged the Catholic pilgrims to take that faith, make it grow and share it with the world.
MADRID — Welcomed to World Youth Day by a boisterous, flag-waving throng of hundreds of thousands of young people, Pope Benedict urged them to be strong, solid and think about their faith.
Pope Benedict walked through the Puerta de Alcala, a monumental arch symbolizing the entrance to the city, with young people representing Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
OTTAWA — The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) is urging Canadian Catholics to help the 10 million people in the Horn of Africa whose lives are endangered by drought and famine.
CCODP spokesperson Kelly Di Domenico described the worsening situation in the region as "drastic."
Right from the beginning, the Twardowski men have led the processions at the annual Skaro Pilgrimage. So this year David Twardowski again walked at the head of the procession prior to the Aug. 14 evening Mass and the ensuing candlelight procession with the Blessed Sacrament.
How did the Twardowski tradition start? David says he doesn't know.
SKARO — The Virgin Mary offers Christians of every age "a beautiful example of unwavering faith," Msgr. Jack Hamilton said in his homily at the 93rd annual Skaro Pilgrimage.
Mary had "a confident reliance on God no matter how outrageous God's plan might seem at first," Hamilton said. "In this she is truly blessed and so are we."
MADRID — A cloudless blue sky turned to inky night as hundreds of thousands of pilgrims participated in the opening Mass for World Youth Day, celebrated by Madrid Cardinal Antonio Rouco Varela.
Protected from the heat by white umbrellas and streams of soft mists, dozens of bishops and priests gathered on and around the makeshift altar to celebrate the Mass for pilgrims representing their homeland with flags, special hats, T-shirts and banners.
St. Francis de Sales recommends any person seeking to grow in the love of God receive Communion frequently. By "frequently," he means at least every second week, preferably every Sunday.
Frequent Communion, he says, will benefit you spiritually. "By adoring and eating beauty, purity and goodness itself in this divine sacrament, you will become wholly beautiful, wholly good and wholly pure."
Building things has summed up Walter Domshy's whole life.
The TV cabinet, keyboard stand and most of the furniture within his west Edmonton home were handcrafted by him. He's built merry-go-rounds, sandboxes and seesaws that are still in use at school playgrounds. He also made many useable items, such as the votive candle stand, found at Annunciation Church.
EDMONTON — A new online-based program and the reintroduction of an old program at Newman Theological College will prepare students for lay ministry.
The bachelor of theology program was intended to give students a basic understanding of theology and religious sciences and provide a foundation for pastoral leadership.

Together with her husband, Greg, Sonesta has learned to deal with the typical problems faced by most homeschooling families. Living on one income with a tight budget, Sonesta began homeschooling by creating her own curriculum from free, online educational resources, worksheets, and materials. However, she soon realized there weren't enough hours in a day to create an entire homeschool curriculum, teach it, and deal with the daily responsibilities of being a wife and caring for a home. After hours of research to find an affordable curriculum that would fit her family's learning styles, Sonesta found homeschooling success with her eclectic approach that included Switched-On Schoolhouse® (SOS) from Alpha Omega Publications®. This is her story:
Q: What factors led to your decision to homeschool?
Sonesta: After experiencing the difference between public school, a private Christian school, and homeschooling myself as a child, I knew that a homeschool education was something I wanted to give my own children. My parent's efforts to legalize homeschooling in our state and dedication to provide me with a godly education also had a great impact on my life.
Q: How did you first learn about SOS, and why did you choose it for your eleven-year-old daughter, Khaila?
Sonesta: I first read about Switched-On Schoolhouse in a catalog while researching homeschool curriculum, and I always wanted to give it a try. So, when my younger daughter, Jasmine, required more one-on-one teaching time while learning to read, I decided to purchase three SOS subject areas that my older daughter could work on independently. Hoping to develop good study habits, I also picked SOS for my daughter's curriculum because I wanted her to learn how to study in order to take tests successfully.

Q: What features do you and your daughter like most about SOS, and how has it benefited your homeschooling?
Sonesta: Learning how to homeschool with SOS was easy. Within a week, my daughter and I felt comfortable with the interactive, multimedia format. Since my daughter is dyslexic and struggles with reading, she especially appreciates Switched-On Schoolhouse's text-to-speech feature that allows her to hear lessons read out loud, while simultaneously reading them to herself. Working with the computer is a real motivator, and now she frequently works ahead in her lessons at her own pace.
Q: In addition to your regular homeschool curriculum, what other activities do you include in your daughters' education?
Sonesta: Khaila and Jasmine's education also includes volunteer work in our small, closely-knit community. They babysit and help with crafts and activities at the nursing home. We also take advantage of field trips and study topics together with other families in our homeschool group. Other extracurricular activities include classes at the local art center and involvement in our church's children's program.
Q: How has teaching your own children changed you personally, and what new lessons about homeschooling have you learned?
Sonesta: I've learned that homeschooling is a lifestyle and not just academics. Learning together as a family is the most important thing about homeschooling, and I love the fact that I'm the first to see my daughters discover new things. The financial trade off is more than worth being a part of my children's lives on a daily basis. After five years of homeschooling, I've also realized this important fact: homeschooling is always evolving and never static. I've learned to take one day at a time, throw preconceived expectations out the window, and forget about trying to "do school" at home. I'm so thankful for the privilege of teaching my own children at home and the many ways Switched-On Schoolhouse has made our homeschooling easier and more fun!

ENVE 6.7 SES Clincher Wheelset - DT240
THE EVOLUTION OF SPEED. INTRODUCING THE SMART ENVE SYSTEM - When discussing the Smart ENVE System 3.4 with riders who have just pedaled them for the first time, the words frequently used to describe the experience are, "versatile, stable, smooth, snappy, solid, and fast".
The new Smart ENVE System 6.7 Clinchers are specifically designed to meet the demands of the performance driven athlete by combining pro level race performance and aerodynamics with the durability and convenience of a training clincher.
The recipe for a fast wheel is no one single element; rather, it's a combination of factors. When you start with in-frame development and blend proven aerodynamics, optimized stability, lightweight, stiffness and durability, the result is a revolutionary wheel design. Introducing the Smart ENVE System.
The Smart ENVE System optimizes the interface between the frame surfaces and the wheels, creating an integrated system. The front and rear wheels interact differently with the air and the rest of the bicycle. Rim shapes are optimized to allow airflow to stay attached at higher yaw angles, thus reducing drag and improving ride performance.
- The front wheel is wider and shallower to improve stability and reduce drag in any wind condition.
- The rear wheel is deeper to reduce drag where stability is less affected.
- Wheels were tested on multiple frame designs in order to produce the maximum drag reduction. The result is a wheel system, which handles predictably, and displays superior drag results when installed in multiple bicycle frame designs.
SES 6.7 Clincher Specs
- Weight DT 240: 1551g
- Rim depth (F/R): 60mm / 70mm
- Rim width (outer): 26mm / 24mm
- Hole count: 20 / 24

Check Your Search Engine Rank With The SERPs Finder Tool
Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /nfs/c02/h06/mnt/46791/domains/thewrongadvices.com/html/wp-content/plugins/tpbc.php on line 96
I installed the SERPs Finder tool a while ago but I've only recently started to use it on a daily basis. The Sitening SERP Tracker has been the main resource I've relied on in the past and while it is useful for tracking search rank over a period of time, I've found that it can sometimes be inaccurate and the number of results it crawls, currently 100, can be limiting.
SERPs Finder is much more accurate because it does its searching in realtime and it also digs deeper, crawling through the first 1000 results on a query. If it does find a result it loads up your browser and drops you on the page where your URL was found.
SERPs Finder supports all three major search engines - Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Live Search.

Picasso Gets the Chop !! – artmarketblog.com
Over the years there have been some desperate attempts to make money from an artist's fame and reputation but a particular incident that occurred way back in 1986 would have to be one of the most appalling. In 1986 an Australian mail order company called Subdivision Art purchased a 1959 Picasso linocut print entitled "Trois Femmes" with the intention of cutting up the print into 500 inch square piece and selling each piece for $135. Each piece would come with a certificate of authenticity and a 30 day money back guarantee should the purchaser not be happy with their very own slice of Picasso. The newspaper ad that they placed read: "Yes, your own beautiful framed Picasso piece, in the most original and exciting offer in the history of Australian art. And you can own a piece of the work yourself." Exactly how this company could justify an inch square piece of a print being the most exciting offer in Australian art history is quite baffling indeed.
Subdivision art stood to receive a considerable $67,500 if all the pieces were sold which is a heck of a lot more than the print would have been worth at the time. Had the people involved held onto the whole print as an investment it would probably now be worth more than the $67,500 they stood to receive at the time. Perhaps they could have just sold a share in the print instead of an actual piece.
Apart from the obvious issues with cutting up a valuable work of art there is also the issue of the infringement of the moral rights of the artist. Copyright law prevents derogatory treatment of an artwork which means doing anything in relation to the work which prejudices the creator's honour or
reputation. Derogatory treatment could include:
• distorting, mutilating or materially altering the work in a way that prejudices the creator's honour or
reputation; and
• in the case of artistic works, destroying the work or exhibiting it in public in a way that prejudices the
creator's honour or reputation.
One of the people responsible for this travesty, David Robertson, was quoted at the time as saying, "If this thing takes off, we may buy other masters as well and give them the chop." Thankfully it didn't take off.

Nicholas, an interesting story, and one I'd not heard before. Picasso himself may have appreciated this approach to making money from art. After all the artist was a great self-promoter and salesman. Would Picasso have produced multiple copies of the print? Of course that shouldn't excuse the destruction of cultural products: I cringe whenever I read of an artist who cuts up books while creating art. The contemporary art world is built on money and profit, or so Andy Warhol would have us believe. As for "copyright law prevents derogatory treatment of an artwork…" I'm not familiar with this legal restriction. What does it mean? Doesn't the legal owner have the right to dispose of the object in any way he sees fit? Thought-provoking material.

I wonder if lets say someone boug Hockney's latest paintng, which is already in pieces and sold of individual pieces..what there be the same arguemunt.

Hi Nick
Although I think that Piccasso would not have cared one bit what they did with his modern art pics as he thought that most art critics were unappreciative of pure fine art, of which he was well capable of producing and would have produced more if there was a sustainable living to be made from it. So he produced "crap" as he put it as that is what they wanted and it sold! I only liked one modern one of his and that was man with guitar as I am a puzzle and crossword fan.
Toby Blyth
Technically Australia had no moral rights legislation then of course…and Picasso produced so much guff on paper he might have laughed at the idea. He was crassly commercial well before Warhol!
http://www.artmarketblog.com artforprofits
Hi Tony,
The moral rights of Australian creators are actually protected under the Copyright Act so there is some protection for artist's integrity

Australia did not have moral rights legislation then. It does now.

Seriuosly can anyone beat BJ at 155? I seriously don;t think anyone mentioned here can win,....puchers chance yes,...but my money goes with BJ at this weight,...he looked ridiculous against Jens, he DOMINATED. Seems like this is the best weight for him anyways,...he looked too fat for 165. Wasn't a BJ fan until after his 2nd fight with Hughes and looked solid again vs Jens.
No real competition for him at 155,....right?
I think BJ Penn should fight Carl Uno... to a draw.... and then the LW division in the UFC should be dismantled...... again
he looked awsome vs jens if that bj comes in to the cage no one will touch him at 155
Can B.J. please beat a Top 10 Lightweight before we say he is the best? Yes he is awesome, but he has yet to beat a Top 10 Lightweight in years. Can he at least win the title before we crown him the number one Lightweight in the world?

why does he need the title to be #1 in the weightclass? (see: Shogun Rua)

Suppose to be sherk but....due to the recent bad news its not him any more. Hopefully he fights matt hughes again in a rubber match.
do you guys think there is any chance for a LW tournament? I know that would make my day!
