Breast Cancer has different warning signs, and only a doctor can determine if your condition is cancerous (or malignant). Although eight out of 10 discovered breast lumps are noncancerous (or benign), diagnostic tests are often required to confirm that the lump does not contain cancer cells.
The most common warning signs of breast cancer are illustrated on the following page. If you notice any of these changes, call your doctor immediately. Do not wait to see if the changes appear for a second month.
The FOUR KEYS to breast cancer detection:• Monthly breast self-exam• Regular physician physical exam• Routine mammograms• Communication**Contact your doctor for a diagnostic (non-routine) mammogram any time you have a concern about a possible sign or symptom of breast cancer. DO NOT WAIT until your next scheduled annual visit.

Tag! You're graffiti
No matter how 'interesting' a tag – a form of signature used by graffiti artists – may look, graffiti is unlawful in DC.
The hate graffiti that wasn't?
Recently more information has come out about the graffiti that was painted on the door shared by Metro Mutts and BritishInk.

Road projects moving along in western ND
May 27, 2013 at 7:00 pm in The Dickinson Press
BISMARCK Carie Shade always hears from her drivers that the roads in western North Dakota are too few, too small and there is too much traffic. "It's impossible to pass, it's almost like a death wish right now," she said. "If we don't stay safe, we aren't going to be in business." Continue Reading

First Post here :)
Excited about this new project: A WFO!
A friend recommended this site and I'm happy to be here and glean from this specialized knowledge base and the corporate memory each veteran member brings to the table :)
Feedback for Admin follows -You asked for it :) :
As I look around the site, I'm interested in "Best Practices" for building a Slab, a Base, an Insulated slab under the oven, the best oven plans, the basic materials, tools and where to get them. I'm interested in pictures with captions spelling it out for those of us who are low on the learning curve. I'm interested in actual WFO plans, like the pompei plans. I'm not going to be a purist, but, I'd like to see all the plans available without any copyright infringement.
From a newbe's perspective, a formal Knowledge Base, or forum if you will, containing the best/most current information available to illustrate the major phases of WFO construction would be an answer to the needs of a newbe. :)
Slab and Base to date
3 Attachment(s)
I have poured a 8' X 9' reinforced slab and made the oven base so far :)
ADDED after the oven was finished: I came to my senses, modified my base and built a pompeii oven as close to the plans as I could manage....And, I'm happy with it. So, disregard my original paragraph below :)
Will gather more materials this week and get ready to pour the slab on the base.Made a run to Mineral Wells, Texas for some used fire brick today. Planning to use 2" thick bricks for the floor (shorter heating time) and standard sized brick for the walls and top arch of a barrel oven (yes, I know a barrel oven is frowned upon). There is a whole mountain of clay there, the same color as the fire clay I bought last week....May take the pickup back and get some to use as fire clay. If anyone in the North central TX area needs used fire brick, PM me and I can pass the contact info on to you, there is enough brick for several more ovens available.
Re: First Post here :)
I was not able to use a pre-cast or purchase a set of plans. First of all I am by no means an expert except what I have learned from my own built/mistakes. This is how I was able to make it work for me.
I had some drawings that I had done and decided how large my oven could be based upon blending in with the existing landscape and hardscape. I broke the project down into various stages. I spent a lot of time on this site reading as much as I could about each stage of the project before I bought any materials.
Once I was comfortable about the next phase I would buy only the materials needed to complete that portion, and then repeated the process many, many times over.
Foundation, stand, slab for dome, dome, insulation, vermiculite/cement over dome, counters, stucco, painting, tile, finishing touches.
Every build is different so be flexible. This schedule worked for me but depending on the size, style and complexity of your project some changes may be necessary. Just have a plan even if it is in you head and go for it.
Enjoy you build.
Re: First Post here :)
It's all here. You just have to look for it. I would start by downloading the free building plans from this site.
Re: First Post here :)
Re: First Post here :)
The plans are here:
Brick Oven Plans | Build an Italian Brick Oven
They are located in the FB store. You'll walk through the purchase process but you won't need to enter a credit card.
Once you download the plans, read over them a few times and start reading discussions on this forum (I spent months reading before I picked up my shovel). There are as many ways to build an oven as there are builders. :)
As for best practices, you absolutely won't go wrong if you follow the plans.
Good luck and keep us up-to-date on your progress!
Re: First Post here :)
Any more plans out there online?
Re: First Post here :)
Go big Red!
Re: First Post here :)
The FB plans are best practice, to the point of massive overkill on certain aspects for certain areas of the world, like DFW.
If you want localized best practices for a particular aspect of your build, consult your local suppliers and trade associations.
The best investment you can make is simply to grab a beverage and read through the posts on this board. There are many threads with step by step builds, including many pictures.
As for other plans, I can tell you from a professional standpoint that there are no better ones than the free ones offered here, and there are many out there that are not really that good, if not downright wrong.
Re: First Post here :)
I started out just like you are. I scoured the internet for plans and ideas. I found NOTHING that came close to the comprehensive plans that FornoBravo provides for free.
This forum is very much biased towards the Pompeii Oven design and I think with good reason. Before I built my oven I had NO masonry experience. I am an avid do-it-yourselfer but have never tackled a project like this. Many others here have much less experience with tools than I. The really cool thing is that all of us who built using the Pompeii plans have working ovens. And they work AMAZINGLY well. :)
We often have visitors to the forum who built ovens based on other plans (or no plans!). They ask us why their ovens aren't performing properly. Almost all the problems other builders experience could have been eliminated by following the Pompeii Oven plans.
You found the right place for Wood Fired Oven info! :)

The Italian Nobel prize-winning neurologist Rita Levi-Montalcini has died at the age of 103.
Miss Levi-Montalcini lived through anti-semitic discrimination under fascism to become one of Italy's top scientists and most respected figures.
She won acclaim for her work on cells, which furthered understanding of a range of conditions, including cancer.
In 1986 she shared the Nobel prize for medicine with biochemist Stanley Cohen for research carried out in the US.

The Government should bear in mind that many disaster victims especially in the Baati Njol area are still waiting for assistance. The victims are saying that giving rice and oil to people who do not have a roof over their head is not an appropriate gesture.
Many people whose houses had been destroyed during the rainy season are hoping to get cement and corrugated iron sheets to restore their buildings.
A victim from the area did ask Foroyaa to find out how much assistance has been given to flood victims in the Mamut Fana and Bat Njol area and what form of assistance has been given so that they would know what they are entitled to.
Some of the victims explained that in the past when such disasters occur they would rush to their family members who own businesses in the urban area for assistance. They argue that because of the growing deterioration of the business climate the earnings of their relatives are going down, thus making it impossible for them to rescue their relatives in the rural areas.
Our investigation reveals that hardship is hitting the first generation of rural investors who happened to have gone abroad to earn capital and then establish retail and whole sale businesses in the urban areas. During the boom they made reasonable profits and build homes in the urban areas to relocate their immediate families. A number of them provided opportunity for their relatives to have a place to stay to transact personal affairs. This huge extended family burden of the successful businessmen combined with the drop in earning capacity is having impact in reducing their ability to give solidarity to family members who become victims of flood or poor harvests.
The farmers are now increasingly turning to the state for answers. Foroyaa will be following the developments to find out whether the Government will deliver or not.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Jacqueline Laurita's Son Nicholas Can't Say "I Love You" Anymore
During the first part of the three-episode Season 4 reunion of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the tissues came out when Andy Cohen introduced a montage of Jacqueline Laurita's son, Nicholas, who was recently diagnosed with Autism. Jacqueline was understandably teary as the footage rolled, but she was downright hysterical by the end of the segment.
The montage ended with a recording of Nick telling his mommy that he loves her, which he apparently isn't able to do anymore. The little guy has regressed and doesn't really speak too much these days. Jacqueline sobbed into her hands while Caroline Manzo consoled her, assuring her that Nick would be able to say those words to her again eventually.
Jacqueline went on to defend her decision to go public with her son's diagnosis via People magazine, explaining that she wanted to get her story out there and bring awareness.
"First and foremost, he's beautiful, he's such a joy, he's very loving ... he happens to have Autism," Jacqueline shared. Andy wished him the best and so do we.
What do you think of the reunion so far? Vote below!

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 4/2/12
It hasn't been the easiest season for Troy Murphy. He has slipped in and out of the rotation, averaging 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds, though he might be the Lakers' starting center Tuesday against New Jersey. There are early indications Andrew Bynum won't be out long with a moderately sprained left ankle, but Murphy started at center when the Lakers took the court for the second half of their 120-112 victory Sunday against Golden State. "Hopefully he gets back soon, but I'm just ready to play whenever I have to," said Murphy, who had eight points and 11 rebounds in 27 minutes. "It's difficult going in and playing three or four minutes at a time like I've been doing the last few weeks. Any time you can get in there and get up and down the court more often, you feel comfortable." Murphy, 31, was a top-notch rebounder and smooth shooter until his production dropped dramatically last season. He hurt his back two weeks before the 2010-11 season opener and averaged only 3.1 points and...

Jahmene Douglas has revealed how he was invited to audition for The X Factor 2012.
Producers asked Jahmene to sing for the judges after spotting one of his cover versions on his YouTube channel.
Speaking ahead of the final, Jahmene said how he never expected to get past that first audition.
He explained: "I didn't see past that audition. I just thought: 'Go out there and sing and go home.' My eyes were closed for most of it. When I sing I always take myself to church and that bubble. It's calm, a different plane."
Jahmene now credits the show with boosting his confidence, although he confessed it'll take time for him to become completely comfortable.
"I think everything takes time," he said. "You can't go from being in the depths straight to being strong – even now I'm learning.
"When my father was around, you had to be a certain way. I wasn't allowed to sing. I wasn't allowed to do anything. He didn't want us to go to church. He stopped us from going to Sunday school."
Praising his mentor Nicole Scherzinger, Jahmene went on: "She phones me. She talks to me. She's there, I think, more than any of the other judges are for their acts. She's crazy in a good way. I've just fallen in love with her. She's my big sister now."
Jahmene is the favourite to win the competition but he insisted that coming top of the votes means very little for him.
He said: "Winning can mean a lot of things. There's winning the competition, then there's making an album and being successful – that's the winning for me. If I'd left two weeks ago but made an album that was successful and made a difference, I would have won."
Browse pictures of the judges and finalists arriving for the X Factor 2012 final below…
The X Factor 2012 continues this weekend with the live final in Manchester.
Chris Maloney, Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur will be battling it out to be crowned winner, while there will be performances from One Direction, Kelly Clarkson, Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue, Rhianna and Emeli Sande.

What's New at CCAH
What's New at the CCAH
CCAH welcomes new Director, Dr. Michael Sean Kent
We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Michael Kent as the new Director of the CCAH. Dr. Kent took over as Director at the beginning of November from outgoing Director Dr. Niels Pedersen. Dr. Kent has broad knowledge of small animal medicine and surgery, and specializes in radiation oncology. His research interests include identification of tumor markers on canine adrenal tumors that can serve as serum markers in order to develop better diagnostic tests preoperatively for this group of diseases; and the molecular mechanisms of resistance to radiation in dogs with melanoma and ways to overcome resistance. Malignant melanoma is resistant to radiation therapy in both dogs and humans. Dr. Kent's expertise, enthusiasm and vision of a dynamic future for the CCAH will ensure continued leadership in small animal research and program development in the years to come.
CCAH welcomes three new Associate Directors
We are thrilled to welcome three new Associated Directors to the CCAH, Danika Bannasch, Kate Hurley, and Robert Rebhun. For more information please see the link to our Associate Directors page.
CCAH sponsors International Conference on Feline Health
We are excited to sponsor the International Conference on Feline Health, coming to the UC Davis campus September 5th-7th, 2014. The conference will bring together an international group of scientists studying all aspects of feline health and feline husbandry. Continuing education credit will be available for veterinary professionals. There will two simultaneous sessions, one for clinicians and scientists and one for cattery (breeders) and individuals interested in shelter medicine issues. Please check the link above to the conference information page for ongoing updates about this important conference.
Installation of the new linear accelerator is completed
Installation of our new radiotherapy unit has been completed and it is now in service, enabling our veterinary oncology team to provide state-of-the-art treatment of a variety of cancers in cats, dogs, horses, and other animals. The complex process of installing the new radiotherapy unit involved not only removing the old machine, but also removing much of the old floor and replacing it with a floor and base specifically designed to support the new linear accelerator. A new power supply and "power conditioner" have also been added. The software to plan and control the radiotherapy treatments has been installed and fine-tuned. You can see photos of the ongoing work on the "Linac page."

Your friend Jared—admit it—is something of a design snob. With the holidays looming, how to dodge his barely restrained disdain when it comes time to give him a gift? Designed by Bruno Munari for Danese in 1957, the delightfully angular Cubo Ashtray is a confirmed design classic that's crafted out of anodized aluminum and melamine. "It's part of MOMA's permanent collection," Jared will tell you, choking violently on the very first cigarette he's ever tried.
Since its inception in 1957, Danese has been a hub for design experiments that "generate basic responses to the needs of society and its evolution."

The Bachelorette
The Bachelorette Man Power Rankings: Jef Holm Pulls The Strings To Our Hearts
There are only four eligible bachelors left in Emily Maynard's love nest, and now she's faced with the impossible task of whittling them down, one stud at a time. Clearly, girlfriend needs help managing her hotties — and that's where we come in.
We've ranked the most powerful players from Season 8, Episode 7, based on their sex appeal, personality, and variable degrees of insanity. Check it out!
Name: Chris Bukowski
Ranking: 4
Pros: Not only is Chris great at carving bobble heads out of clay and tears, he's also morphed into the sexually frustrated version of whack-a-mole. Dude seriously will not go away. Try as Emily might to deflower him, Chris perseveres time and time again — which we attribute to the copious amounts of time he spends looking out of windows and sunning his Toms sandals.
Cons: Chris is one more ab-flash away from having a total break down. His eyes were permanently watering this week, he seemed shifty, and he even had the audacity to confront Emily. Oh, Chris, you fool. You shall be smited.
Name: Arie Luyendyk, Jr.
Ranking: 3
Pros: Arie spent most of this episode wearing an elbow-patched blazer that we assume he stole from Jef's closet. He's also a good kisser, but we learned that five weeks ago when he first explored the uncharted territory of Emily's mouth with his tongue.
Cons: How dare Arie lie to Emily about his mysterious (read: brief, longtime ago) affair with one of her producers? We suggest that Emily lock this boy up in one of her favorite dungeons to teach him a lesson. With any luck, he'll come out with a prison tattoo of her name on his abs.
Name: Sean Lowe
Ranking: 2
Pros: Ran through the streets of Prague desperately trying to find Emily.
Cons: Ran through the streets of Prague desperately trying to find Emily. Get it? They are the same.
Name: Jef Holm
Ranking: 1
Pros: Where to begin? Jef made our hearts stop with his over-the-top hipster love-making, and don't even get us started on his future as a puppeteer. Emily seems genuinley in love with Jef, and she giggles and smiles around him in a way that she doesn't with the other men.
Cons: The fact that this section exists under Jef's name offends us. There are no cons to speak of, unless being too handsome is a crime. And if it is, we don't want to be friends anymore.

- Beat the eggs and yolk with the vanilla. In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and ½ tsp salt. Add the warm milk and egg mixture, then beat to a very soft, sticky dough with a wooden spoon. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
- Drop large muffin wraps into 10 clean, 200g size cans (or use a muffin tray), or line them carefully with baking parchment so that the paper comes well above the cans to make a collar.
- Blend the butter, fruit and peel into the risen dough, preferably with your hands. Cut into 10 equal pieces and drop a piece into each prepared can. Cover again and leave until they are very well risen.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Gently brush the panettone with milk, scatter over the almonds and bake for 25-30 mins until golden. Eat within 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 weeks.

Comments, questions and tips
Shouldn't it use strong flour? that would get rid of the heavy cakey texture. Yeasted cakes a popular on the continent and are traditional quite stodgy.
All the shop bought panettone I have bought and eaten are more bready in texture which would indicate strong bread flour not normal cake plain flour.
Pannetone cases are available from www.bakerybits.co.uk. You have to buy 25 but could share with another keen baker. I have made Pannetone (from a similar recipe), with an overnight rise and although light it still had the cakey texture as others have mentioned.

Lamont Jody Hawkins was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. However he moved to Staten Island as a youth. He was originally a beatboxer for fellow clan member Cappadonna, as well as being well known friends with future members Method Man, Inspectah Deck, and Raekwon. Sometime before the members united, U-God was mentored in rap by Cappadonna. He soon became friends with RZA and Ghostface, and he began rhyming under the alias Golden Arms, based on the Kung-Fu movie The Kid with The Golden Arms. Later on he changed his name to U-God.
Being jailed for narcotics possession prevented him from featuring heavily on the group's debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), his input on the seminal LP consisting of only a short bridge on the group's debut single "Protect Ya Neck" as well as the now-famous opening verse of "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'". Nevertheless, after his release he quickly became known to fans for his rugged flow and bass-like voice on Wu tracks such as "Winter Warz", "Knuckleheadz", "Investigative Reports", and "Black Jesus". He was featured heavily on the group's second album Wu-Tang Forever on which he was one of only three of the group to get a solo track - "Black Shampoo" (While the others being Inspectah Deck with "The City", and Ol' Dirty Bastard with "Dog Shit"). Around this time his young son was accidentally shot and injured, an ordeal the rapper documented on the Wu-Tang Clan track A Better Tomorrow.
U-God was the eighth (out of nine at the time) member of the group to record a solo album, releasing Golden Arms Redemption in 1999 on Priorty Records, which displayed a wide variety of sounds from gritty blaxploitation funk to urgent string sections, and featured guest appearances from several Wu-Tang members and affiliates. It had two singles in "Dat's Gangsta" and "Bizarre". The song "Rumble" was used as the main song for the videogame Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style. Bizarre debuted #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, but soon after Priority Records was on the verge of shutting down. Still, the album managed to go Gold in sales, and it is considered a Wu classic. Based off the initial success, Uey was able to open his own label, Suppa Nigga Productions.
However because of the turmoil with his 1st solo, U-God blamed clan leader RZA for not doing enough for his album. He only produced 3 tracks, 2 of which were considered not that great. He also believed that RZA was favoring other artists such as GZA, Method Man, and Raekwon instead of him, Inspectah Deck, and Masta Killa who to this day have had to deal with having the least exposure of all the members in the clan. Nevertheless in 2002 he released an EP titled "Super Nigga", which was a preview before his 2nd solo album. After another disagreement with RZA in 2004 over royalties, which included a heated phone conversation on live radio, U-God formed a clan affiliate group called the Hillside Scramblers that featured his team of Inf Black, Desert Eagle, Letha Fase, Black Ice, Kawz, and King Just. Their debut album, U-GODZILLA presents the Hillside Scramblers, was released in 2004 on Synergy Music. Shortly before the album was released, U-God released a DVD entitled Rise Of A Fallen Soldier. In the DVD, U-God talked about what life was like growing up, how he became an MC, his problems with RZA, a behind the scenes outlook on the clan, and his opinions on the current situation of the rap game. The DVD also included a sampler of U-GODZILLA presents the Hillside Scramblers. Later on U-God and RZA made up and they were soon both together on stage as part of the Clan for their European and American tour during summer 2004.
U-God signed on to Free Agency Recordings, and released his second solo album, titled Mr. Xcitement on September 13, 2005. It featured two singles: "Bump" and "You Don't Want To Dance". It featured guest appearances from Leatha Fase as well as Boo Kapone, Squeak Ru, MC Eiht, and Ebony Burke. The album sold 5,000 units and he had sample clearance problems. But overall it was considered a solid album, although not as good as his debut. He appeared with all the clan members during the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors, as well as on tour for the release of their latest album, 8 Diagrams. U-God is currently working on an album titled Spitta, set to be released sometime in 2008.

'Happy Endings': Adam Pally has a Max in his life -- and crashing at his houseAdd to Favorites | Happy Endings
As much as everybody is in love with Max ( Adam Pally) on "Happy Endings," a real-life version of the character might not be as charming.
"It's hard to get any action when you don't have any money or a job and you're kind of a d***," Pally recently told Zap2it of his alter ego's understandably less-active love life in Season 2. "I don't think the well has totally dried up, but it's not coming as fast as it was last year."
During the Oct. 5 episode of the show, Max finally flirts with employment -- and though we won't spoil the gig he ultimately takes, Pally doesn't think there are many options.
"I can say that Max looks for ways to make money," he says. "It's a very narrow pocket of what Max actually has skills for."
Max's rare display of motivation might have something to do with the his friends' growing resentment for paying for his beer, food and rent, so when we sat down with him on the set of the show, we asked him if he was responsible for a Max in his life.
"I have a cousin like Max who is currently staying with me in my house, and I do pick up the tab for him all the time," says Pally. "So yeah, unfortunately."
Like co-star Eliza Coupe, Pally also has us particularly curious about the upcoming Halloween episode. "The costume that Penny [ Casey Wilson] and I inhabit is one of the highlights of my whole 'Happy Endings' experience," he says. "[That's] a clue. Follow that trail."
For more on Season 2 -- including guest stars and flashbacks, Pally's thoughts on "ah-mah-zing" and his special message for the cousin on his couch -- watch the full video interview above.
And, obviously, watch "Happy Endings," Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

Ways to Give
A healthy planet and healthy people need a healthy ocean. Make a donation today to help us preserve our oceans for tomorrow.
Located in one of Maine's large coastal sub-basins, the Blue Hill Bay/Mt. Desert Frontal Drainage is a watershed that encompasses approximately 407 square miles of land in Hancock county all of which drains into Greater Blue Hill Bay. The watershed is characterized by multiple land uses including commercial centers of Ellsworth, residential areas, open pasture and row crop agriculture as well as protected acreage (Acadia National Park and local conservation areas). There are also multiple municipal waste water treatment plants and landfills, unmonitored residential septic systems, grand-fathered overboard discharges, marinas and boatyards within the boundaries of the watershed. As population growth and development pressure continues to strain area resources, there is a fundamental need to understand the health and capacity of the watershed.
The Blue Hill Bay Monitoring Project was created in 2004 in order to generate baseline data for these previously unstudied areas in the hopes that the data will be used as a guide for future monitoring and ecosystem-based resource management in the region. The data gathered is used to verify water quality standards, identify sources of pollution, and increase awareness of the need for sustainable watershed management. This project was initiated with the help of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, the Town of Blue Hill, environmental organizations, and community volunteers to establish a long term scientific assessment of water quality in and around Blue Hill Bay.
Between April and October, 44 freshwater and marine sites are monitored weekly and offshore sites are monitored bi-weekly. Sites were selected to provide a representative sample of watershed conditions, include various land use types, and monitor potential point sources of pollution such as the municipal landfill.
All sites are monitored with a multi-parameter probe for dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, conductivity, turbidity and chlorophyll a. In addition to these parameters MERI staff also collect samples for laboratory analysis of E. coli and Enterococcus bacteria levels along with nitrate and phosphate concentrations.
Analysis of nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) and bacteria is conducted in the Institute's Marine Laboratory, located at the Center for Marine Studies. Nitrate and phosphate analysis are conducted on a Hach DR 4000 spectrophotometer following EPA approved techniques. Freshwater samples are analyzed for Enterococcus bacteria following IDEXX Enterolert procedures.
Dissolved Oxygen Levels and Nutrient Loading
While many sites within the watershed remain in relatively good health, a few locations continue to exhibit signs of distress from low dissolved oxygen. One site at the upper portion of Carleton Stream which flows between Third and Fourth Ponds is heavily inhabited by beavers resulting in dams that clog this waterway. A large dam was removed after a request from the Town, resulting in better flow between the ponds. Although still low, the dam removal improved oxygen levels at this site.
Excessive nutrients and elevated bacteria continue to be detected in our newest area of concern, Little Peters Brook. This site was extensively monitored during the 2008 season but the source of its pollution remains unknown. Monitoring Little Peters Brook highlights the challenge of locating non-point and point source pollution in the watershed.
Monitoring Mussel Aquaculture in Blue Hill Bay
The State of Maine currently leases approximately 700 acres to shellfish farms along the Maine coast. Of these, 147 acres (21%) are leased to farms located in Blue Hill Bay, and there is public concern about the rapidly increasing number of mussel aquaculture farms in the Bay. Anoxic conditions (dead zones) can occur under mussel farms due to a build up of organic material and dropped shell.
The lack of available information on the impacts of mussel aquaculture on the health of the bay prompted MERI to include these sites in its offshore monitoring program. MERI researchers began sampling nutrients at a depth of 5 meters in addition to the sample normally obtained at 0.5 meters at all offshore sites in 2007. MERI continues to collect data on water quality around mussel farm lease sites in Blue Hill Bay. This data is not being currently collected by the State and may prove important to the ongoing public debate over mussel aquaculture expansion in Blue Hill Bay.
Data Sharing
The Institute shares its water quality data with other scientists, monitoring groups, resource managers, and the public through the PEARL database, an interactive site which is searchable by watershed, town or county. Found at the University of Maine website, the PEARL database has access to all the data generated by the Blue Hill Bay Monitoring Project since the program's inception in 2004. You can access the site by clicking the link here: http://www.gulfofmaine.org/kb/2.0/record.html?recordid=9782
Blue Hill Bay is prime real estate for harbor seals, especially during spring and summer when pups are born on its rocky ledges and islands.

Teen Mom
Is Leah Messer Pregnant Again?
It's a darned good thing that Teen Mom Leah Messer likes children because she's pregnant again!
The mother of twins — Aliannah Hope and Aleeah Grace Simms, who were born on December 16, 2009 — is expecting a very special delivery in early 2013. (This is Leah's third pregnancy. Sadly, she had a miscarriage in early 2012.)
The baby daddy is her second husband, Jeremy Calvert. Leah was married briefly (very briefly — about six months) to the twins' baby daddy, Corey Simms, but it was not meant to be. Here's hoping her new mate is a keeper! Though Jeremy and Leah did not plan the pregnancy, they're all bundle-of-joy-excited about the impending arrival.

Usually people don't consider college costs until it's so late that options are limited.
Start by saving small amounts early, and find information on 529 college savings plans at www.savingforcollege.com.
The latter is essential for understanding student loans. Most sites steer you to private loans, but finaid.com provides real help.
Try www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DirectLoan/index.html.
* The Department of Federal Student Aid is launching a new brochure, Federal Aid First, a resource for students and families that explains - in simple terms - how they can apply for federal student aid and maximize more affordable, federal aid options. Federal Aid First explains the differences between federal and private student loans, the various kinds of federal student loans offered, and the dollar amounts available. Included are details on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is the starting point for obtaining financial assistance for college.
Please contact Mrs. Drexler (847) 562-2100, ext. 2318 or email@example.com for a copy of the brochure. She will send it home with your son/daughter.
Cove is pleased to support the launch of an exciting, innovative new resource www.college.gov.
College.gov was designed by students for students and features first-person accounts of students who overcame challenges to going to college such as peer pressure, lack of family support, and financial barriers. It provides relevant, comprehensive information about why to go, how to go, and or to pay for college or other postsecondary education programs. Young people who may not have considered higher education a viable option will be engaged, informed, and inspired to create their own "roadmap" to college.

What are five similes and methapors in part three of the book?
1 Answer | Add Yours
SIMILES (comparisons that use the word "like" or "as.":
1) "[Montag] felt his head turn like a stone carving..."
2) "They rise like the midnight sun to sweat you in your bed!"
3) "There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream..."
4) "Their covers [the books'] torn off and spilled out like swan feathers."
5) "The books leapt and danced like roasted birds..."
METAPHORS (comparison that do not use the words "like" or "as"):
1) "Lights flicked on and house doors opened all down the street, to watch the carnival set up." (The scene in front of Montag's house is being compared to a carnival).
2) "I've hit the bull's eye." (Beatty is comparing his correct analysis of Montag's behavior to a marksmen hitting a target on the bull's-eye.).
3) "Now, Montag, you're a burden." (Montag is not actually a heavy load that must carried on one's back; he is being compared to a burden because he is a responsibility that must be dealt with.)
4) "And then he came to the parlor where the great idiot monster lay asleep..." [The characters who appear on the wall television are being compared to "idiot monsters."]
5) "The tents of the circus had slumped into charcoal and rubble and the show was well over." [Similar to the first metaphor example, the scene at Montag's house is being compared to a circus]

Karl Malone doesn't bring his gun, bow to Jazz practice. So he can focus.
Oct 10, 2013, 3:44 PM EDT
Karl Malone is back working with the Utah Jazz as a special assistant coach — Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter and the rest of the young Jazz front line are now learning the tricks of the Mailman.
And Malone is focused on that — at least until next month and his annual hunting trip, he told Rod Sundel of KLS.com.
"To keep me from being late to practices I didn't bring my [camouflage], gun or a bow. I left them home so my focus was to come here every day." he said.
Probably wise.
Malone is about as old school as it gets while Favors and Kanter are very young and new school. Situation comedy level humor ensues.
"I'm not concerned with your elbow pads, your knee pads, all of your garb and your full body armor. What do you need all that for? Our soldiers need that in Iraq and they're doing a hell of a job for us. Take all that off! We don't need that. What I need you to do is show up and be ready to play. That's it.
"I had one of my 'bigs' today and he had body armor from his thigh to his neck. I ask him what he was doing and he said he was protecting himself. I said 'Who you protecting yourself [from]?' There's no sniper in this building! Man up! If you're hurt, see the trainer and play the game."
What really matters is if they are listening and learning (it doesn't always work that well, remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Andrew Bynum). Malone said the first day was rough but he comes back the next day and the guys were there early to work. That's a good sign.
We'll see how it starts to show on the court. Favors and Kanter could be part of a good Jazz frontcourt in a few years, if they develop. They certainly have an instructor who knows the game.

Karl Malone would be the perfect guest star for duck dynasty.

@dls612 – You called it! Great idea! It would be funny seeing Karl in a rowboat doing a duck call….lmao.
- davidly - Oct 10, 2013 at 4:29 PM
Makes sense he'd question elbow pads for protection since he's a guy who's notorious for having used his elbows as a weapon.
- sportsfan18 - Oct 10, 2013 at 6:29 PM
Well when he tries to teach them to use their elbows as a weapon it wouldn't work out too well as the bony part of the elbow would be covered up!
Gotta free them up so they may be used properly!
- misremembered72 - Oct 10, 2013 at 4:51 PM
Soooo cringeworthy when a sports figure makes any sort of comparison with soldiers and war. Stop Karl, you're rich and you've bought yourself some guns for hunting. You know nothing about war
- phaden27 - Oct 10, 2013 at 5:17 PM
To be fair, Karl Malone has never been a fan of protection.
- 00maltliquor - Oct 10, 2013 at 5:38 PM
- glenuendo - Oct 11, 2013 at 5:56 PM
I'm not proud to admit this, but it took longer than it should have for me to get it.
- jimeejohnson - Oct 10, 2013 at 7:05 PM
So if he brought his hunting "tools" to the arena he might have been late? That's Utah for you: just pull over anywhere and go hunting. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Malone dispels the stupid notion that guys with small shlongs go for guns. I pride myself as a big shlonged marksman, by the way!
- longtallsam - Oct 10, 2013 at 10:04 PM
You seem to know a lot about Malone's shlong!!

THE European Space Agency wants the countries that win the most industrial contracts from its projects to pay higher membership fees. The measure is being considered as part of a raft of controversial reforms due to be debated during a meeting of ministers from member countries early next month.
Billions of Ecus will be at stake, with the debate focusing on the future of the "geographic return rule", which guarantees that a percentage of member states' contributions to ESA will be reimbursed in the form of industrial contracts.
Each ESA member was originally supposed to get back 80 per cent of its contribution in this form. But lately the percentage return has been creeping upwards, in some cases to over 95 per cent.
One of the reasons for this upward trend is that geographic return (

Skewbald is a color pattern of horse. A skewbald horse has a coat made up of chestnut (or any color besides black) and white patches, on top of either pink or dark skin. Other than colour, it is similar in appearance to the piebald pattern. Some animals also exhibit colouration of the irises of the eye that match the surrounding skin (blue eyes for white skin, brown for dark). The underlying genetic cause is related to a condition known as leucism.
In British English usage, skewbald and piebald (black and white) are together known as coloured. In North American English, the term for all large spotted colouring is pinto, with the specialized term "paint" referring specifically to a breed of horse with American Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred bloodlines in addition to being spotted, whereas pinto refers to a spotted horse of any breed. Americans usually describe the colour shade of a pinto literally: black and white, chestnut (or sorrel and white, or bay and white.)
Skewbald horses which are bay and white (bay is a reddish-brown colour with black mane and tail) are sometimes called tricoloured.
Genetically, a skewbald horse begins with a chestnut base coat colour (called "red" by geneticists), or some other set of colour genes other than black. Then the horse has an allele for one of three basic spotting patterns overlaying the base colour. The most common coloured spotting pattern is called tobiano, and is a dominant gene. Tobiano creates spots that are large and rounded, usually with a somewhat vertical orientation, with white that usually crosses the back of the horse, white on the legs, with the head mostly dark. Two less common spotting genes are the overo gene, that creates a mostly dark, jagged spotting with a horizontal orientation, white on the head, but dark or minimally marked legs. The sabino pattern can be very minimal, usually adding white that runs up the legs onto the belly or flanks, with "lacy" or roaning at the edge of the white, plus white on the head that either extendings past the eye, over the chin, or both. The genetics of overo and sabino are not yet fully understood, but they have recessive characteristics and can appear in the offspring of two solid-coloured parents, whereas a tobiano must always have at least one tobiano parent.
