Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Did the Real Housewives Bully Alexis Bellino — Or Was It Just Drama?
In Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, the ladies headed to Costa Rica for a fabulous vacation — that ended with Alexis Bellino in tears. The blonde Housewife accused her co-stars of bullying her during their "phony intervention."
In case you need a refresher of what happened on the ladies' Costa Rica trip, Tamra Barney called Alexis materialistic, while Gretchen Rossi said she was pretentious. Vicki Gunvalson offered some unsolicited financial advice, suggesting buying lots of cars wasn't as smart as saving money. Tamra also told her frenemy to "Be a true person."
Both Gretchen and Tamra took issue with Alexis calling their treatment of her "bullying" and author and reporter Emily Bazelon might agree.
In an op-ed for The New York Times, she argues, "The word is being overused — expanding, accordionlike, to encompass both appalling violence or harassment and a few mean words."
She defines bullying as "a particular form of harmful aggression, linked to real psychological damage, both short and long term."
Instead, Bazelon suggests terming these less damaging squabbles and fights as "drama." She says, "Most teenagers can identify bullying, but they can also distinguish it from what they often call "drama," which, the researchers Danah Boyd and Alice Marwick have shown, is an accurate and common name for the ordinary skirmishes that mark most children's lives. In fact, it's drama that's common, and bullying, properly defined, that's less so."
It's an interesting thought — and we've never shied away from calling what goes on during Real Housewives shows "drama."
In the Season 8 promo video, Alexis is still upset over the ladies ganging up on her, saying she had to take Xanax for her anxiety afterwards. Would that qualify as psychological damage — or is Alexis just being dramatic?

"Our Boys: A Perfect Season on the Plains with the Smith Center Redmen" by best-selling author Joe Drape is the 2012-2013 academic year book selected for Washburn University's iREAD program.
The book "Our Boys" chronicles the 2008 Smith Center historic football season and winning streak with Coach Roger Barta and was selected for the 2012 Kansas Reads Project.
Drape, who is a sports writer for The New York Times, will deliver the 2012-2013 iREAD lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 18, in White Concert Hall, Garvey Fine Arts Center, Washburn campus. "Our Boys" is available for purchase at a discount in the Washburn University Bookstore, located in the Memorial Union.
All incoming first-year Washburn students are introduced to the book at summer orientation events and are encouraged to read the book over the summer. During the fall 2012 semester, students will read this book in disciplines ranging from English to research strategies to Washburn 101, a First Year Experience class.
Established in 2007, the Washburn iREAD program gives students the opportunity to participate in a common reading experience that expands their critical thinking, discussion and reading skills, while also fostering campus involvement and enhancement of the campus community.
The iREAD program encourages the university mission of "learning for a lifetime" and creates partnerships across campus and in the community. The community is invited to join Washburn in reading "Our Boys" and take part in the discussions that will take place.

American League Game Summary - Boston at Detroit
(Saturday, June 7)
Final Score: Detroit 8, Boston 6
Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Nick Castellanos went 3-for-4 with a solo home run to help the Detroit Tigers to an 8-6 win over the Boston Red Sox.
Miguel Cabrera was 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, while Torii Hunter added two hits, an RBI and a run scored for the Tigers, who have won the first two of this set after dropping their previous five.
Max Scherzer (7-2) gave up four runs and 11 hits with a walk and nine strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings for the win.
"When you have nine strikeouts with just one walk you're going to be successful more times than not," said Scherzer. "That's what I hang my hat on and going forward I think I can continue what I accomplished tonight."
Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored for the Red Sox, who have lost their past five games. Jon Lester (6-7) was tagged for five runs on 12 hits in just 4 1/3 innings to absorb the loss.
"We put up four against Scherzer and right there we should have been able to win the game," said Lester. "I flat out didn't get it done and felt like I wasted a good effort by our offense tonight."
An RBI double by Victor Martinez in the first was followed by a Hunter run- scoring single to give the Tigers a quick 2-0 edge.
Rajai Davis plated Austin Jackson in the second, and Castellanos belted a solo homer in the third, his fifth of the season, for a 4-0 lead.
Pedroia got the Red Sox on the board in the fourth with a solo home run, but Eugenio Suarez answered in the home half with his first career homer.
David Ross doubled with two outs in the fifth and Jackie Bradley Jr. chased him home with a single to cut the deficit to 5-2 before Stephen Drew's run- scoring single to left in the sixth made it a two-run game.
Detroit, though, got both runs back in the sixth as Ian Kinsler tripled in Suarez, and Cabrera brought home Kinsler with a single for a 7-3 advantage.
David Ortiz doubled in a run in the Boston seventh, while Bryan Holaday countered with a sac fly in the home half to make it an 8-4 game.
Joe Nathan had trouble closing out the game as he allowed a sac fly from Pedroia and a run-scoring groundout by Ortiz for an 8-6 edge. Grady Sizemore and Daniel Nava followed with back-to-back singles to bring the tying run to first base, but Drew flied out to end the game.
Game Notes
Both teams were efficient with runners in scoring position, as Boston was 3- for-8 while Detroit went 4-for-11. The Red Sox stranded 10 runners and the Tigers nine ... Lester fell to 2-4 in nine career starts against the Tigers ... Scherzer improved to 4-4 in 10 starts against the Red Sox.

Tea partiers swoon over Rubio in St. Pete
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
With less than four weeks to go until the November election, one statewide race continues to captivate Florida politicos. The contest for Floridaâs open US Senate seat has had some funky twists and turns. Now itâs in the home stretch, and a new poll shows Republican Marco Rubio with 50% of the votes. Rubio was in town today surrounded by a mob of adoring supporters
Perhaps âcultâ is too strong a word, but âfollowingâ is an understatement. These are die-hard fans. They crowd into Fergâs, a watering hole and St. Pete mainstay thatâs stumbling distance from the Trop. Theyâre all sporting their gear â t-shirts, hats, placards, you name it. But itâs not baseball that brings these people, most of whom are over fifty and white, to Fergâs on a Friday morning.
Upon Rubio's arrival, restaurant staff switches every TV in the bar to FOX News. When President Obama is shown speaking on a big screen behind where Rubio is giving an informal speech, it is promptly switched off. Rubio swears heâs running on the issues.
While his supposed grassroots campaign appeals to disenchanted Republicans and independents, his $5 million war chest is largely fortified by corporate dollars. Another way the Rubio campaign has benefited from big money traces its roots back to the Supreme Courtâs controversial Citizens United decision last January. Now, nonprofits and unions can use unlimited amounts of corporate money to fund campaign ads. Karl Roveâs group has pumped one million dollars into helping Rubio. Still, people like Dianne Kerry of Treasure Island thinks electing candidates like Rubio will mean more jobs. She says she against letting tax cuts for the richest two percent of Americans sunset at the end of the year.
Rubio has been criticized for his environmental stance. Even as millions of gallons of oil spewed from the gulf floor daily this past summer, Rubio maintained that he was open to offshore oil drilling. He has also been a fervent denier of humanityâs role in global climate change. When the Sierra Club announced yesterday it would endorse both Crist and Meek, the latter said no thanks. Meek said it was weak of the environmental nonprofit to endorse Crist, an independent who hasnât always erred on the side of green. The dual endorsement doesnât faze Rubio.
U.S. Representative Kendrick Meek said he couldnât accept an endorsement from an organization that would back Crist, who has supported offshore drilling and been pro-development. A spokesperson for Marco Rubio told the Tampa Tribune that the Sierra Clubâs apparent âanyone-but-Rubioâ stance is something the campaign sees as a badge of honor. WMNF asked Rubio to elaborate on this.
While most of the supporters appeared beyond retirement age, there were maybe four or five people under thirty at the event â not counting press or campaign staff. One of these was Eckerd College student Tom Battey, a member of the College Republicans whoâs majoring in marine science. He says Rubioâs attitude toward the environment doesnât bother him.
An article in todayâs Wall Street Journal indicated that Florida Republicans are afraid that Kendrick Meek might drop out of the race and endorse Crist. Rubio says if this is true, it definitely didnât show during the latest debate.
The race has seventeen candidates â a Republican, a Democrat, a Libertarian, a Constitution Party candidate, six non-party affiliated candidates, and seven write-ins. One of the independents is Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who left the Republican Party in late April. Cristâs campaign has intermittently stressed centrism and attack ads. Rubio is traversing the Sunshine State in a black bus. The campaign is calling it the Road to Reclaim America Tour. The three-day tour concludes tomorrow in Miami.comments powered by Disqus
CommentsCorporate lackey
Rubio is the servant of the corporate interests that are destroying the middle class in this nation. I have difficulty understanding how rational voters can jump on pseudo-progressive bandwagon that in reality works to stall any initiatives that work to benefit the working class.
Rubio is Our Man!
He is already the election winner going by the polls. I like him much better than that wishy-washy, Obama-hugging opportunist, Charlie Crist. Marco Rubio has integrity and will represent our interests in Washington and do a better job of it than any of the other candidates.

Robert De Niro is not only one of the finest actors of modern Hollywood, but a New York icon. However, that still does not always prevent him from being to a degree typecast, from his classic tough guy roles in films like The Godfather, Part II, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas to his comical parodies of his tough guy roles in films like the Analyze This and Meet The Parents movies.
Now, De Niro gets the opportunity to take a break from his distinguished tough guy archetype to play widower Frank in Everybody's Fine. The 66 year-old actor shared with us what first motivated him to pursue the role.
"Well, Kirk [Jones] had, we were at a meeting and he told me the story and what it was based on and had photos of the whole project, the traveling across the country and everything,"Â Robert recalls, "I was impressed with how passionate about the project he was. It was special and he doesn't do movies often, his will be his third and so that was important for me, knowing that he cared so much, obviously. So then I saw the original and then I saw his two movies and I read the script and then we just had to decide when to do it."Â
The film is an Americanized remake of the 1990 Italian film of the same name, by director Giuseppe Tornatore, with the role of Frank's Italian counterpart Matteo Scuro, played by actor Marcello Mastroianni, the latter who Robert says he's an admirer of.
"I only saw it once,"Â De Niro says, "It was just a different type of movie. I love Mastroianni. Since I was a kid, I've always watched his movies. He's been in great films and part of a great Italian tradition, obviously, but it was a different thing totally. Kirk made it his own and his way, the structure was there and all that stuff, but it was a totally different thing."Â
De Niro said that as much as Frank was a welcome break from his tough guy archetypes, he said there were elements of him that were similar to himself.
"I relate to Frank, obviously, and drew on my own experiences like I do in all my parts,"Â Robert says, "You draw on whatever's relevant to the part you're playing. It makes it more personal. There was a lot here of course. I have five children, two grandchildren. But also going back to Kirk being the director and caring, that's the anchor of the whole thing, so that's really, really important. He has to steer the ship, it's his baby, so he's got to make choices and all that. So I put myself in his hands so to speak."Â
He says he also shares Frank's trouble in keeping up with the modern world of his children.
"I don't Twitter,"Â Robert admits, "Somebody told me about it. I didn't know what it was. I only know how to use a computer. I don't even know how good I am at it. I slowly use the little things and get emails and I look at videos on the computer and I use an iPhone. I guess I use it… adequately."Â
Robert shared with us how he personally has dealt with being a parent and a grandparent.
"My father's father, my grandfather, was more strict, more old-school, more old-time Italian, and my impression was that my father came to New York City to get away from certain things,"Â De Niro shares, "So, my parents raised me kind of easily. And the fact that I wanted to be an actor, that was OK with my mother and father."Â
"With my kids, I try not to be too strict because certain things they have to do,"Â he continues, "But at the same time, I don't want them to get away with anything. But I think I try to rationalize with them, and argue, 'Now, look I'm very good with you about certain things unless you do this, so you have to now do this. That's only fair.' Of course, there are times when that stuff doesn't work. I'd love to be the all-knowing, all-seeing. I think in general, it's pretty good. I don't try to put a curfew, but I'm flexible with certain things that they have to do. It's not like it's a curfew that they have to go to sleep at a certain time."Â
De Niro also adds that it was also a change-of-pace for the Oscar winner even from the comedies he's done in the past.
"This is a more gentle sort of comedy in this,"Â he says, "It's a dramedy. It's not like sort of, say, Meet The Parents."Â
We asked Robert how he's handled being still so largely identified for much of his career as a singular character archetype.
"Some people do and sometimes I play off that, as far as a certain thing you're doing or I make fun of it in certain movies,"Â De Niro believes, "Like in Meet The Little Fockers (the soon-to-be-released Meet The Parents sequel), it's also 'The Godfocker'. And I ask Greg because I have a feeling, 'If something happens to me will he be the "Godfocker?"Â"Â
Finally, we wondered whether De Niro will be doing more independent films in the future at this point in his long career.
"Yeah, I think I will,"Â he says, "Well, the difference is you have more time, there's just a lot more people on the set, a lot more trucks. It's a big production. Making movies is very simple ultimately. I always wonder when I walk around on a big movie and you see all these trucks and just to get this, you have to get all these people."Â
"And of course, there's only certain movies that do that, but it was good, this, to me, was a normal"¦we shot it in eight weeks," Robert adds, "So eight weeks was a pretty good schedule. It's an independent film, sort of. But an independent would even be less than what was on this film, I think. It'd cost less to make and be on a shorter schedule like five weeks, four weeks. I'd do more with Kirk, hopefully."Â

Whether you
deliver vaginally or by cesarean section, you are unlikely to have serious
complications. Overall, a routine vaginal delivery is less risky than a routine
cesarean, which is a major surgery. But a pregnant woman who has a cesarean scar
on the uterus has a slight risk of the scar breaking open during labor. This
is called uterine rupture.
Although rare, uterine rupture can be
life-threatening for both mother and baby. So women with risk factors for
uterine rupture should not attempt a
vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
The risks of VBAC include:
The risks of cesarean
delivery include:
Future risks. If you
are planning to get pregnant again, it's important to think about scarring.
After you have two C-section scars, each added scar in the uterus raises the
risk of
placenta problems in a later pregnancy. These problems
placenta previa and
placenta accreta, which raise the risk of problems for
the baby and your risk of needing a
hysterectomy to stop bleeding.4

Gear Review
Shane Shin
Great Harness
I have a medium and 30 waist, I can cinch the harness up as far as it will go. That said I tried a couple sizes and the medium was more comfortable (more padding than the small). The comfort is outstanding with almost no pressure points. The sliding padding works well to keep your tie-in centered. Fabric is soft and feels good against bare skin. Gear loops are ok, not the best. They are covered in rubber and sometimes biners get caught on the rubber. They are a little far back for my tastes. It has 2 slots for ice clippers, but they are kind of far back as well. The waistbelt and leg loops never need to be doubled back which saves time when putting on the harness. The harness is on the heavy and bulky side.

Quiet by Susan Cain Book Summary
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society–from van Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.
Passionately argued, impressively researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so. Taking the reader on a journey from Dale Carnegie's birthplace to Harvard Business School, from a Tony Robbins seminar to an evangelical megachurch, Susan Cain charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal in the twentieth century and explores its far-reaching effects. She talks to Asian-American students who feel alienated from the brash, backslapping atmosphere of American schools. She questions the dominant values of American business culture, where forced collaboration can stand in the way of innovation, and where the leadership potential of introverts is often overlooked. And she draws on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to reveal the surprising differences between extroverts and introverts.
Perhaps most inspiring, she introduces us to successful introverts–from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Finally, she offers invaluable advice on everything from how to better negotiate differences in introvert-extrovert relationships to how to empower an introverted child to when it makes sense to be a "pretend extrovert."
This extraordinary book has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how introverts see themselves.
Quiet Book Teaser:
Introverts living under the Extrovert Ideal are like women in a man's world, discounted because of a trait that goes to the core of who they are. Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we've turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform.
Reading Quiet by Susan Cain is like reading a book written specifically about me. Have you read Quiet by Susan Cain, yet?

Columbia Storage?
We will need to store 2 KLR's in Columbia or Ecuador from Feb until next Jan.. Anyone know who can store them and make the paperwork happen?
Mike at Casa Blanca in Cali does a LOT of that. He lives up in Medellin now, so try to get in touch with him in advance.
Chachi in Paraguachon
Chachi, a Wayúu woman whose business is exactly that: parking for Venezuelans or Colombians leaving their vehicles while they go in the neighboring country. As it is right at the border no paperworks problems, you sign the bike out of Colombia and don't enter Venezuela. When you come back, you just enter or Venezuela or Colombia...
for bikes she puts them in a kind of locker, very safe but dusty. I have years leaving my bike there when required, for a few days up to a few months.
P.S.: and by the way it's ColOmbia.
My spelling is never the best,, Thanks, but probably look for a place further south.. Having a great time in Cartagena but after 2 days of aduana, insurance, and unloading, looking to put some clicks on and see Columbia and away from the city. :thumb. Met a guy from Ecuador who offered to storage but he does not have any connections at aduana. Having a blast, smiles!!
Any storage options in Equador?
Still have options open and considering Equador

Arlington, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Niskanen parlayed a breakout season into a huge payday as a free agent.
The Washington Capitals signed the defenseman to a seven-year, $40.25 million contract on Tuesday.
Niskanen set career highs across the board in 2013-14 with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He compiled 10 goals and 36 assists in 81 games and led all NHL blueliners with a plus-33 rating.
"We are very excited that Matt Niskanen has chosen to sign with Washington," said Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan. "At 27 years of age, he is just entering his prime for a defenseman. We feel he will be a staple on our blueline for many years to come. We have stated all along that upgrading the defense was our top priority this offseason and we feel we accomplished our goal with our signings today."
The Capitals inked Niskanen's former Pittsburgh teammate Brooks Orpik to a five-year, $27.5 million contract earlier Tuesday.
A 2005 first-round draft pick of the Dallas Stars, Niskanen has 35 goals and 132 assists in 491 career games.

When it's Lady Gaga you need to expect something weird. The latest about her isn't different either. You think I'm too dramatic? Watch the latest promo clip for MTV VMAs and you will agree with what I just said. This time too, she appeared on stage with much in store for fans and detractors alike. The singer teased her X-factor in MTV VMA promo clips released just a while ago with a bra strip. She was singing to the tunes of her latest hit 'You and I' in a riveting jazz background, and took off her bra much to the excitement of fans.
You can hate her, you can love her… But you definitely can't ignore her. That is the beauty of Lady Gaga a.k.a Mother Monster as called by her little monsters (her fans!). Lady Gaga is a show stealer in any event she attends. She always has some thing unique (or weird) every time.
Lady Gaga wearing normal casual dress is news, after all.
We think Gaga wanted to do something spontaneous at the promo event, and when she couldn't get some thing like raw meat, clumsy big eggs, and plastic tights, she went ahead and did the best she could.
We hate watching Gaga being normal; we know she can't just be normal! Would you want to listen to those 'normal boring critics', who always go 'Ga Ga' against the Lady Gaga!!
I just love Lady Gaga for her unique sense of fashion and manners. Not to avoid mentioning her aggressive nature and mind boggling album visuals. But ironically, that is the main reason for a bunch to hate her as well! But what no one has two opinions is her amazing talent in singing and song writing.
Coming back to the latest show down by 'Born this way' singer, in the promo she was meticulously performing on a piano in a black-and-white shorts (so normal huh??) and suddenly she started pulling out her black bra, thanks to the cameraman for a close range shot visualizing her contours hided by long white wig. The members of the jazz band were in a trance of surprise and embarrassment till she covered her frontal rawness with a sheet of music.
I just cant but agree when she croons, "Sometimes I'm really happy when I write music; sometimes I'm really angry, sometimes I'm really drunk, or sometimes I'm super-sober. You never really know why, if or how you write music."
This year VMA is dominated by Katy Perry sweeping 9 nominations while Gaga claims four nominations for 'Best Female Video' for 'Born This Way', 'Best Art Direction' and 'Best Choreography' for 'Judas',' Best Video with a Message'
There is also unconfirmed news that Gaga will also feature in a stage tribute to Britney Spears along with Madonna, Bruno Mars, Adele Lil Wayne and Chris Brown at the VMAs.
The MTV Video Music Awards goes live on Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9pm ET/PT and will be telecast the following day in the UK.
Here's the promo so that you can see the singer in action.Further Reading

Mary's father Richard was a cabinet maker who supplemented his income by mining the coastal cliff-side fossil beds near Lyme Regis, then selling his finds to tourists. Richard Anning moved to Lyme from Colyton in Devon. Aged 27 he was in Blandford, where he married Mary Moore on 8 August 1793. Returning to Lyme, the couple lived in a house built on the town's bridge, and attended the local Congregational Church, where their children were baptized. Soon after their marriage a daughter Mary was born, she was followed by a second daughter, Martha, who died almost at once, then by a son Joseph, in 1796.
A second son Henry died as an infant early in 1798. Horror struck towards the end of the year when the eldest child Mary was burned to death at home, either sitting too close to the fire, or falling into it. When another daughter was born the following May, she was given the name of her dead sister, Mary. It was she who survived the lightning strike in 1800. At least four further children followed: Henry, 1801; Percival, 1803; Elizabeth, 1804; and Richard, 1809. All died within a couple of years of birth, leaving only two surviving children, Joseph and Mary, when their father Richard died in 1810, aged just 44. When he died of tuberculosis the Anning family was left without support. Mary and her brother Joseph began collecting fossils full-time in an effort to earn some income.
Fossil collecting was in vogue in the late 18th century and early 19th century, at first as a pastime akin to stamp collecting but gradually transforming into a science as the importance of fossils to geology and biology became understood. Anning catered to the commercial side of the field, selling her finds. She soon forged relationships within the scientific community, whose passion for fossils grew to be a major source of income for her.
The cause of this connection was one of Anning's first discoveries, the skeleton of an ichthyosaur, in 1811, a few months after her father's death. Her brother had discovered the skull of what appeared to be a large crocodile a year earlier. The rest of the skeleton was not to be found at first, but Mary located it after a storm scoured away a portion of the cliff containing it. This was the first complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur ever discovered, though not the first ichthyosaur fossil ever, as the genus had been described in 1699 from fragments discovered in Wales. Nevertheless, it was an important find, and was soon described in the Transactions of the Royal Society. Anning was 12 years old at the time of her discovery. She went on to find two other distinct species of Ichthyosaur.
As her reputation grew, Anning came to the attention of Thomas Birch, a wealthy fossil collector. Disturbed by the poverty of Mary and her family he arranged for the sale of his own fossil collection, the proceeds of which (some £400) were given to the Annings. Put on a sure (if somewhat austere) financial footing for the first time in a decade, Mary carried on with her fossil collecting even after her brother gained employment as an upholsterer.
Her next major discovery was a real first, the first-ever skeleton of a plesiosaur in 1821. The fossil she found was subsequently described, by William Conybeare as Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus and is the type specimen (holotype) of the species, which itself is the type species of the genus. She found an 'unrivalled specimen' of Dapedium politum, a ray-finned fish, as described in 1828. She discovered an important fossil of a pterosaur, a Pterodactylus macronyx (later renamed by Richard Owen Dimorphodon macronyx), the first found outside Germany and thought to be the first complete skeleton.
Those were the three finds that made her mark on history, but she continued collecting for the remainder of her life, making numerous other contributions to early paleontology. In her late thirties she was granted an annuity by the British Association for the Advancement of Science in return for her efforts. Anning died at the age of 47, of breast cancer. A few months earlier she had been made an honorary member of the Geological Society of London despite being ineligible for regular membership due to the sexist mores of the time.
Taken all together, Mary Anning's discoveries became key pieces of evidence for extinction. Until her time it was widely believed that animals did not become extinct; any oddities found were explained away as still living somewhere in an unexplored region of the earth. The bizarre nature of the fossils found by Anning struck a heavy blow against this argument, and set the stage for real understanding of life in earlier geologic ages.
For a time after her death, Mary dropped into obscurity but, in recent decades, she has been rediscovered. After her death, a eulogy was read at the Geological Society, 'some members' of which subsequently contributed to a stained-glass window to her memory, in the parish church of St Michael the Archangel, the Society having failed to elect her to membership during her lifetime, possibly as a result of latter-day 'genderism'. The inscription reads: "This window is sacred to the memory of Mary Anning of this parish, who died 9 March AD 1847 and is erected by the vicar and some members of the Geological Society of London in commemoration of her usefulness in furthering the science of geology, as also of her benevolence of heart and integrity of life." (It depicts the corporal works of mercy, i.e. feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, visiting prisoners and visiting the sick.)
Mary Anning is believed to be the source of the old tongue-twister, "She sells sea shells by the sea shore."
In 2005, a Mary Anning 'facsimile' was created at the Natural History Museum as one of a number of notable gallery characters to patrol its displays. She is thus among other luminaries including Carl Linnaeus, Dorothea Bate, and William Smith.
Writer John Fowles in "The French Lieutenant's Woman" (Ch. 8) notes: "One of the meanest disgraces of British palaeontology is that though many scientists of the day gratefully used her finds to establish their own reputation, not one native type bears the name anningii".

Kaduna — Abel Fada, 20, had been missing since Friday 25th January. On Tuesday 28th, his corpse was found hanging on a Mango tree in a nearby bush close to Mando electricity distribution centre in Kaduna. He is believed to have committed suicide.
Fada's remains were not badly rotten yet even though they had started oozing some intolerable smell. He was found hanging steady on the green rope he is believed to have used for the operation with eyes glasses, wrist watch, shoes, a pair of jean and blue T-shirt still defining him.
Fada's theatre was not far away from the main road, so on hearing the news, hundreds of local residents and passersby rushed to watch in spite of the bad stink.
His uncle, Dominic Apolo, said Abel who was an orphan had been reported missing since Friday last.
Speaking to our correspondent Apolo said: "He is my senior Brother's son (nephew). Both the father and the mother are dead. He has been complaining that he does not sleep. I kept asking him the cause of his sleeplessness. I asked him 'do you belong to any society; why can't you sleep? If you have any problem kindly tell me, I will solve it for you, but he said there was no problem.'
"He just finished his secondary school and was undergoing computer training. But last week, he told me he was sick, and after I treated him, he told me that he was resuming at the computer training Institute. Since that day, we have been looking for Abel.
"We are from Edo State so we thought he ran home since my sister gave him money on that Friday before she left for Abuja.
"When my sister came back, everywhere was locked. In fact even now, some of the doors are still locked. She called his phone severally but there was no answer. So she asked a carpenter to destroy some of the doors so that she could enter the house. After that she reported to the police.
The Mando Police Division confirmed to Daily Trust that the family had earlier reported that their Son, Abel, was missing.
The divisional officer who spoke to our correspondent said: "A woman came to the station and reported that one of her sons had locked the entire house and was nowhere to be found; that they had called his number several times but no one picked the phone. So she called a carpenter to break the door.
"They reported the matter to me at about 6pm on Saturday and I asked them to go back home while we continued with our investigations.
"So, today, (Yesterday) I had some people saying that they saw a dead body hanging in the bush and I asked them to take me to the place.
"I took the passport they gave me about the missing boy and I noticed he was the same person. So, I called the family and they confirmed that he is the one they have been looking for."
Spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Aminu Lawan, confirmed the incident, saying that the police had commenced investigation to uncover the mystery behind the death.
It would be recalled that on 25th December last year, 17-years-old Christiana Silas, killed herself with a lethal dose of insecticide in Romi, Kaduna, after she was found in a boy's room at night.

A ROBOT suit has been developed that could help older people or those with disabilities to walk or lift heavy objects.
Dubbed HAL, or hybrid assistive limb, the latest versions of the suit will be unveiled this June at the 2005 World Expo in Aichi, Japan, which opened last month. A commercial product is slated for release by the end of the year.
HAL is the result of 10 years' work by Yoshiyuki Sankai of the University of Tsukuba in Japan, and integrates mechanics, electronics, bionics and robotics in a new field known as cybernics. The most fully developed prototype, HAL 3, is a motor-driven metal "exoskeleton" that you strap onto your legs to power-assist leg movements. A backpack holds a computer with a wireless network connection, and the batteries are on a belt.
Two control systems interact to help the wearer stand, walk and climb stairs. A "bio-cybernic" system ...

Results of small survey with DK announcement
Check it out here.

Hi, dmr here with a wish Lego would conduct a small survey with AUL or whatever us greying boomers are called.
After reading the Hardware Dev. Kit, it seems what we need is an open-source (software and prints - parts/finished goods available for sale)product to take the available RS-485 and I2C busses and turn them into easy-for-user MUX's - a box with a set of non-lego connectors (hey, which mini- or micro-socket has a nut the same diameter as a brick stud?) to add both complex and simple devices, like a ring-style bumper switch that indicates where the bump occurred, start/stop commands for *simple* Lego and non-Lego motors, etc.
I must admit the construction of either interface and the required coding is beyond me - the construction of the various probes and hookups to power and motor isn't. (just as I can "build" from someone's pieces, repair and modify a standard 80X86 computer, but cannot design the computer...)
--probably a LOT of folks like us waiting....

The RCMC is primarily a random thread and an informal club. All are welcome to join for free as this is not MC Gold...and you are not dropped for non-participation. Above all, this is a place to build friendships with good-hearted, creative and fun loving MiceChatters. We will even have Disneyland Meets from time to time.
Members are given titles and roles that are a cross between mediaeval times and modern times. Most of us are a tad rebellious and irreverent with respect to convention...hence the word "Insurrection" in our thread title. We do not particularly give a care whether we fit in everywhere.
Each of our members have a lot of attitude. Here are some examples -

The only hanging question is whether what'shisinitials will agree to the same terms for a pardon that Splash did.
Will LSD remain doomed to experience life as this? -
Or will he become this,
who is good friends with this? -
And shall we have no other choice than to make an example out of him with my new French miniature penis guillotine? -
Or a modern trouser snake guillotine? -
Hopefully, he will see the light and return to us as good ol' LcalDisneyFan.

The fourth is a mans kimono in which it is a dark green with gold thread for the king.
I shall sit here and wait for the altar boy at the Temple of Walt here that they have put up. I must say sirs, this one had more money put into it, it makes the main one look small.
I hope this finds you well,

DURHAM, N.C. (UPI) — Scientists say genetics have helped them identify two new species of mouse lemur, tiny saucer-eyed primates native to the African island of Madagascar.
The finding brings the number of recognized species of the teacup-size creatures — specimens of the new species weigh less than 3 ounces — to 20.
Because these shy, nocturnal primates look so much alike, it's only possible to tell them apart with genetic sequencing, researchers said.
"You can't really tell them apart just looking at them through binoculars in the rainforest," Peter Kappeler of the German Primate Center in Goettingen, who earned his doctorate a Duke University in North Carolina, said.
One of the new species has been name the Marohita mouse lemur, after the forest where it was found. In Malagasy, the word "marohita" means "many views," a Duke release said Tuesday.
Much of the forest home of the mouse lemur has been cleared for logging and agriculture in the last decade, prompting the International Union for the Conservation of Nature to classify the new species as "endangered" even before it was formally described.
"Despite its species' name, this mouse lemur is threatened by ongoing habitat destruction, and 'many views' of its members are unlikely," the researchers wrote in the International Journal of Primatology.

In March and April, we put the final vote on our Color of the Month to you, our readers. But for May, the debate narrowed down so quickly to a tie that I decided to ask Leanne Potts, our VP of Editorial, to cast the deciding vote. Here's how she described her pick: This color makes me think of desert skies, Caribbean water and delphinium blossoms. The shade suggests serenity in an age of tumult.
In the week that followed Leanne's tie-breaking vote, tumultuous events rapidly unfolded, including the outbreak of tornadoes in the South. I think you'll agree – we all could use an infusion of serenity.
Here's a small dose in the form of our May Color of the Month:

Washington, DC (PRWEB) December 16, 2013
The US House of Representatives adjourned on Friday, and the US Senate is likely to adjourn this week. This is the "half-way" mark for the 113th Congress – the two-year legislative period – which has been a busy one for water issues. The House and Senate have considered issues and authorizations of water-related programs such as:
Congress Calls for Greater Public Input and Participation on Water
Throughout the year, Congress has called for input from the public – people knowledgeable about water, who can help to identify not just the problems but potential solutions – and can do so in a way that Members of Congress and their staff can digest and integrate into legislative activities.
"We need you to educate us all in what you know – and you need to hear from us what some of our concerns are and will continue to be," said Rep. Grace Napolitano (CA-32).
"You'd better know what you're talking about." Said Rep. Bill Pascrell (NJ-9)
