Firefighter caught on tape stealing from capt.
The capt. says money was being stolen from his wallet that he left in his room when he exercised
By Thomas Martinez
The Orange County Register
IRVINE, Calif. – A veteran firefighter-paramedic with Orange County Fire Authority was caught on video stealing cash from his fire captain's wallet at an Irvine fire station, police investigators allege in an arrest warrant affidavit.
Irvine Police detectives conducted surveillance in the case after the captain reported an "ongoing issue" of someone taking small denominations from his wallet over a period of one to one-and-a-half years. The incidents occurred when his wallet was in the closet of his non-shared bedroom at the station while he exercised, the captain said.
The suspect is Gregory Mark Konishi, 49, a Rancho Santa Margarita resident who has worked at Orange County Fire Authority for 25 years.

ExtinctionRhett Butler
The Holocene extinction is the first extinction event directly caused by another species -- us. It results from habitat destruction combined with hunting and the introduction of alien species to environments where they do not occur naturally. Scientists estimate that extinction rates are presently 1,000-10,000 times the historical background rate of about 1 species per million per year. They say that extinction rates will significantly increase in coming years.
U.S. to remove extinct cougar from Endangered Species Act
(06/30/2015) The U.S. government has declared the Eastern cougar extinct more than 80 years after its a believed a hunter in Maine wiped out the last individual. Scientists still dispute whether the Eastern cougar was a distinct subspecies, but either way officials believe the original population that roamed much of the Eastern U.S. and Canada is gone—and has been for decades.
Study confirms what scientists have been saying for decades: the sixth mass extinction is real and caused by us
(06/21/2015) Humans are wiping species off the plant at a rate at least 100 times faster than historical levels, providing further evidence that we're in the midst of a sixth great extinction, concludes a new study based on 'extremely conservative' assumptions on past and current extinction rates.
Can we save the Sumatran rhino? Indonesia holds out hope
(06/19/2015) 'One percent of the world's population,' veterinarian Zulfi Arsan says as he nods towards Bina, a 714-kilogram, 30-year-old female Sumatran rhinoceros leisurely crunching branches whole. A gentle and easygoing rhino, pink-hued Bina doesn't seem to mind the two-legged hominids snapping pictures and awing at her every move at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary.
Passenger pigeon redo? Superabundant bird collapses across Eurasia
(06/08/2015) In 1914 the world's last passenger pigeon died. Nicknamed, Martha, she was not killed by hunters, but simply old age. With her passing, the passenger pigeon fell into extinction. A hundred years before Martha's death, however, the passenger pigeon may have been the most populous bird in the world with a population often estimated in the billions. Now, conservationists warn history may be repeating itself.
Population of Maui's dolphins slips below 50
(06/05/2015) Maui's dolphins are edging closer to extinction. Strikingly marked, with a dark, rounded dorsal fin that has been likened to a Mickey Mouse ear, the dolphins max out at just four and a half feet long. New papers show their population has reached a new low, with fewer than 47 individuals remaining alive.
Invasive predators, deforestation driving Tasmanian parrot over the edge
(05/29/2015) In the forests of Tasmania lives the swift parrot (Lathamus discolour), a highly threatened bird found nowhere else in the world. New research published recently in Biological Conservation finds they are more at risk of extinction than previously thought, with introduced sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) and logging dealing two big blows to their remaining numbers.
The triumph of the bison: Europe's biggest animal bounces back a century after vanishing
(05/12/2015) On a path flanked by thick woods, I first spied our quarry. When she appeared, far away between the long verticals of bare trees, I could hardly believe she was there. She was a ghost, a specter haunting this winter forest. Her horns were prettily curved, her face slender, her whole 400 kilogram (880 pound) mass framed by the trees.
World on course to lose 1 in 6 species to climate change – South America, Australia, New Zealand face even more extinctions
(05/04/2015) Renowned biologist E.O Wilson, assessing Earth's sixth great extinction now underway, described the future as a shrinking keyhole through which all species must pass as humanity responds to, and hopefully averts catastrophe. A new study published in the journal Science shows that this keyhole could drastically narrow with each degree increase in global temperature due to climate change.
Ongoing overkill: loss of big herbivores leading to 'empty landscapes'
(05/01/2015) Ten thousand years from now, human historians—or alien ones—may view the current wave of biodiversity loss and extinctions as concurrent with the Pleistocene extinction. At that time, peaking around 11,000 years ago, many scientists argue that human hunters killed off the majority of the world's big species. According to a paper today in history may be repeating itself.
Officials: Sumatran rhino is extinct in the wild in Sabah
(04/23/2015) There are no Sumatran rhinos left in the wild in the Malaysian state of Sabah, confirmed Masidi Manjun, the Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister, over the weekend. In 2008, conservationists estimated there were around 50 rhinos in the state. Five years later, it dropped that estimate to just ten. Now, it's admitted the awful truth: the wild rhino is very likely gone.
Mexico's club mosses at risk of extinction
(03/26/2015) All nine species of the club moss genus Phlegmariurus found in the state of Veracruz in eastern Mexico are at risk of extinction, according to a new study published in the journal Tropical Conservation Science. One of these species, P. orizabae, has not been recorded in the wild since 1854.
Newly discovered Brazilian bird may number fewer than 10 individuals
(03/12/2015) In October 2002, a team of ornithologists at Murici in northeastern Brazil observed and recorded the call of a bird. At that time, the team believed they had chanced upon a rare bird previously described by other researchers as the Alagaos foliage-gleaner (Philydor novasei).
Conservationists announce program to protect East Africa's largest elephant population
(03/12/2015) The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Tanzanian government have launched an ambitious new initiative to protect East Africa's largest population of elephants (Loxodonta Africana). With funds from USAID, the plan aims to reduce poaching and protect biodiversity - including the area's 25,000 elephants- across an 115,000 square kilometer ecosystem.
Last ditch: Mexico finally gets serious about saving the vaquita
(03/04/2015) There are likely less than 100 vaquita on the planet. Found only in the northern pocket of the Sea of Cortez in Mexico, the vaquita is a tiny, shy porpoise that has been brought to the very edge of extinction due to drowning in gillnets used for shrimping. But after years of stalling, Mexico now appears to be making a final effort to save the world's most endangered cetacean.
Biodiversity may reduce the threat of disease
(02/19/2015) Biodiversity level changes can have consequences for species and habitats around the world. A new study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, reaffirms previous findings that higher diversity in ecological communities may lead to reduced disease threat.
Scientists, NGOs race to save 'Millennium Trees'
(02/12/2015) In a tiny area of an isolated archipelago in the southwest Pacific lives a unique tree species on the precipice of extinction. Recent research has shown it is declining dramatically, and mature individuals may be completely gone in 100 years. In response, environmental organizations and scientists are coming together to try and save New Caledonia's Millennium Trees.
Ocean's 15: meet the species that have vanished forever from our seas
(01/15/2015) In the last 500 years, the oceans have suffered far fewer extinctions than on land—at least that we know of. According to a recent study in Science, 15 animals are known to have vanished forever from the oceans while terrestrial ecosystems have seen 514 extinctions. The researchers, however, warn that the number of marine extinctions could rise rapidly as the oceans are industrialized.
Empty seas? Scientists warn of an industrialized ocean
(01/15/2015) This is obvious, but still important: humans are not a marine species. Even as we have colonized most of our planet's terrestrial landscapes, we have not yet colonized the oceans. And for most of our history, we have impacted them only on the periphery. A new review in Science finds that this has saved marine species and ecosystems from large-scale damage—that is, until the last couple centuries.
Time for a checkup: researchers examine the health of lowland tapirs
(01/07/2015) The Brazilian tapir may get a bad rap in Brazil, where referring to someone as a 'tapir' essentially equates to calling them an 'ass,' but history has shown that this species is deserving of a lot more respect. These hardy 'living fossils' have survived multiple extinction events since the Eocene, yet their ability to survive the ongoing Anthopocene extinction remains uncertain.
Scientists rediscover Critically Endangered streamside frog in Costa Rica
(12/26/2014) In the past 20 years, amphibian species around the world have experienced rapid decline due to climate change, disease, invasive species, habitat loss and degradation. Populations have decreased by approximately 40 percent with nearly 200 species thought to have gone extinct since 1980. However, despite these discouraging statistics, new research efforts are turning up lost populations of some vanished frogs.
Famous extinct animals
The Elephant bird (Aepyornis maximus) of Madagascar was hunted to extinction by humans after they arrived on the Indian Ocean island. The bird, which stood over three meters (10 feet) tall and weighed more than 500 kilograms (1100 pounds), disappeared in the 15th or 16th century. Its egg was about 160 times the size of a chicken egg. Reconstructed eggs are commonly sold in markets in Madagascar.
The black or King Island emu (Dromaius ater) of King Island (between Australia and Tasmania) was first discovered by western science in 1802. It was extinct by 1822. Hunting and fires set by visiting sailors caused its demise.
The Great Auk (Pinguinus impennis) was once found in great numbers on islands off eastern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Ireland and Great Britain but was hunted to extinction by the mid-nineteenth century. The Great Auk was mostly hunted for its down.
The Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) may have one been the world's most abundant bird with a single flock reportedly numbering up to several billion birds. Hunting for sport and food lead to its rapid demise. The last wild Passenger Pigeon was shot by a 14-year-old boy in Ohio in 1900, while the last known individual of the passenger pigeon species, named "Martha" after Martha Washington, died at 1 p.m. on the 1st of September 1914 in the Cincinnati Zoological Garden. She was 29. Some scholars have argued that massive passenger pigeon flocks were the result of ecological imbalance caused by the massive decline in North American human populations following the arrival of Europeans in the 15th and 16th century. The theory holds that the disappearance of indigenous populations gave passenger pigeons an unprecedented opportunity to access resources previously appropriated by humans.
The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) of Mauritius is perhaps history's most famous extinct bird. Hunting, coupled with widespread forest loss caused by Dutch settlers and their introduced animals killed off the last Dodo in 1681, within 80 years after the arrival of humans. The dodo bird was famously believed to be a key disperser of the Tambalacoque tree, seeds of which were said to require gut passage through the dodo in order to germinate. While this is a nice story, it's controversial.
Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) was the only parrot species native to the eastern United States. Hunting and habitat loss due to forest conversion for agriculture led to its demise. The last wild specimen was killed in Okeechobee County in Florida in 1904, and the last captive bird died at the Cincinnati Zoo in 1918. The extinction of the Carolina Parakeet resulted in a boom of cocklebur, a common weed that was a favorite food of the bird..
The North American Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis principalis) may or may not be extinct. The last confirmed sighting of North America's largest and most famous woodpecker is hotly debated. To date no conclusive evidence has been put forward to end the controversy. Regardless of its fate, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker's demise was fueled by destruction of its habitat -- hardwood swamps and pine forest in the southern United States -- due logging in the early part of the 20th century.
At least 15 species of Hawaiian honey creepers (various species) have gone extinct since the arrival of Polynesians. Often compared to Darwin's finches for their high degree of adaptation to ecological niches on the Hawaiian islands, honey creepers mostly died out as the result of introduced species, including rats and mosquitoes.
The Heath Hen (Tympanuchus cupido cupido) was hunted to extinction by European colonists who settled in North America. In fact some historians speculate that the first Thanksgiving featured Heath Hen, not turkey. The last heath hen was seen on March 11, 1932. Heath Hens were one of the first bird species that the United States sought to protect: in 1791 New York legislature introduced a bill to protect the species. Nevertheless, the effort eventually failed.
The Moa were giant flightless birds (15 known species) native to New Zealand. Peculiar for their total lack of wings, the largest species, the giant moa (Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae), reached 3.6 m (12 ft) in height and 250 kg (550 lb) in weight. They were the dominant herbivores in the New Zealand forest ecosystem and their disappearance a few hundred years after the arrival of Polynesians resulted in significant ecological change including the extinction of other species. Moa were doomed by forest clearing and hunting by the Polynesian invaders.
Steller's Sea Cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) was a giant sea mammal that once roamed the Bering Sea in the North Pacific. The sea cow grew up to 7.9 meters (26 ft) long and weighed up to three tons. It was hunted to extinction by sailors and traders. The last known sea cow was seen in 1768.
The Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus) of Australia and New Guinea was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. The species went extinct through most of its range well prior to the arrival of Europeans, but managed to survive on the island of Tasmania until the mid-20th century. Disease, hunting, habitat destruction, and the introduction of dogs fueled its demise. While the last known Thylacine died at the Hobart Zoo in 1936, unconfirmed sightings continue today.
The Barbary Lion (Panthera leo leo) is a subspecies of lion that went extinct in the wild, though some descendants may survive in captivity. It was the largest subspecies of lion and lived in the woodlands in North Africa. Its demise stemmed primarily from hunting and habitat loss.
The Caribbean Monk Seal (Monachus tropicalis) was the only seal ever known to be native to the Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico. It was last spotted in 1952 at Seranilla Bank, Jamaica. The Caribbean Monk Seal was said to lack fear of man, while having an unaggressive and curious nature -- attributes that likely contributed to its demise from habitat loss and hunting.
The lesser Puerto Rican Ground Sloth (Acratocnus odontrigonus) was one of the last remnants of the giant ground sloths that once dominated South America. The species was driven to extinction as recently as the 16th century due to the introduction of rats and pigs by Europeans explorers. Pre-Colombian populations likely diminished the populations of this 50-pound forest dwelling beast by forest clearing and hunting.
The Baiji or Yangtze river dolphin (Lipotes vexillifer) was declared functionally extinct in 2006 meaning that even if has not yet completely disappeared, its population is so low that it will never recover. The freshwater river dolphin was driven to extinction by pollution in the Yangtze and unsustainable fishing practices. The construction of the Three Gorges Dam and other hydroelectric projects also led to habitat loss.
The Bali tiger (Panthera tigris balica) of the Indonesian island of Bali was the smallest of three sub-species of tiger found in Indonesia. It was driven to extinction by conversion of its forest habitat for agriculture. The last tiger to be shot was in 1925.
The Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) was a tiger found only on the Indonesian island of Java. Highly threatened by hunting and habitat destruction, last minute efforts to create protected areas for the species during the 1950s and 1960s failed: the credible sighting was in 1972.
The Formosan Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa brachyura) was a subspecies of Clouded Leopard endemic to the island of Taiwan. It is now believed to be extinct due to habitat destruction by loggers.
Considered to be one of the most spectacularly colored toads on Earth with its brilliant yellow-orange coloring, the Golden toad is believed to be limited to only a single mountain in Costa Rica, Monteverde. Although always rare, for a few weeks in April every year, hundreds on these brilliant toads gathered in pools in a breeding orgy. However, the toad population dropped sharply since its discovery in 1967 from several thousand gathered in 1987 to just 10 in 1988, none of which were breeding. In 1989 only a single male toad, seeking a mate, was observed. This individual may have been the last Golden toad on Earth; no golden toads have been seen since. The disappearance of the golden toad is of particular significance since its habitat is in a national preserve.
Among the casualties of the current human-induced mass extinction event are the two species of Gastric Brooding Frog from the rainforest of Queensland, Australia: the Northern Gastric Brooding Frog (Rheobatrachus vitellinus) and the Gastric Brooding Frog (Rheobatrachus silus). These two recently discovered species [R. silus was discovered in 1972; R. vitellinus 1984] are presumed extinct as R. silus was last seen in the wild in September 1981 and R. vitellinus was last seen in March 1985. Gastric Brooding Frogs are notable for their reproductive habits. The female swallows her clutch of eggs and the tadpoles hatch in her stomach. The tadpoles secrete chemicals that cause the female to cease feeding and switch off the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach wall. The young are birthed through the mother's mouth once fully developed as froglets. After leaving the mother's mouth, the young frogs are independent. Scientists have been interested in these species' ability to shut down the secretion of digestive acids the implications of which could have an important bearing in the treatment of people who suffer from gastric ulcers.

Excerpt III X.3
Battle at Sohnwick
As the bombardment on his fortress began, Sohnbie had the poleturner and the fletcher workshops emptied within minutes. Each being at opposite ends within the fortress courtyard walls. The floors, which appeared as ordinary earth, began to drop in each shop as men turned the great oiled wheels that kept them in place. A forefather of Sohnbie had enlisted the skills of Comyn Anroths Dwarvic clans to construct sally ports unlike the typical found among other keeps on the Tralysan Estate. The floors opened to a width allowing six to seven men to enter pathways beneath Sohnwick, with two major tunnels that ran either north or south. The gear works beneath the surface
Excerpt IIX.2
Battle at Sohnwick
The humble, but strong, dark stoned castle of Lord Sohnbie was silhouetted against the quickly fading light of the western horizon. From there, Sir Maren rode away, back towards Steward Dunclow who looked on, awaiting word. Even as the knight passed into the formations and galloped towards the hill, Dunclow gave the signal for his mangonel crews to prepare for bombardment. The horn was blown and mangonel captains all about were setting to work.
Sir Maren arrived before his master. My lord, Sohnbie shall not yield!
As expected. Dunclow said coolly. It wouldnt have mattered either way. I Care not for truces. Dont know why I really bothered with formality anyway! He turned to his daughter, who sat upon her horse, slightly smiling.
You love to play games, father, Kyrie stated, Thats why!
They laughed together. The joke was not received by Maren. At that moment, rumbling thunder and a great

What's At Stake For States That Reject Medicaid Expansion
By John Ydstie
Originally published on Wed December 11, 2013 10:10 am
The Affordable Care Act has produced a surge in the number of people signing up for Medicaid. The ACA offers billions of federal dollars to states to expand Medicaid coverage for the poor. But only 25 states have accepted the federal government's offer, and those that haven't could face economic and budget losses.

Democrat AG will prosecute notorious abortionist
Abortionist George Tiller will be charged in Kansas by the Democrat Attorney General:
A doctor who performs abortions was charged Thursday with violating Kansas law on late-term procedures, a surprise move from a Democratic attorney general who recently unseated a prominent anti-abortion Republican.
Attorney General Paul Morrison filed 19 misdemeanor counts alleging that Dr. George Tiller, one of the few U.S. physicians performing late-term abortions, got second opinions from a doctor who was not financially and legally independent from him, as the law requires. Morrison's predecessor, Phill Kline, had unsuccessfully prosecuted the same doctor for different reasons.
At a news conference Thursday, Morrison described the allegations as a "technical violation" of a 1998 law restricting late-term procedures. "And it's my job to enforce the law," he said.
Man, if only our Department of Homeland Security chief had that attitude.
The pro-abortion Morrison had defeated anti-abortion AG Phill Kline in last year's general election The Topeka Capital-Journal reports:
Morrison's announcement today was a surprise. A day earlier, his spokeswoman had confirmed that Morrison, an abortion-rights Democrat, wouldn't pursue 15 reporting-related charges Kline had filed. Also, abortion opponents had said repeatedly that they didn't think he would prosecute Tiller and had tried to build public pressure on Morrison to refile Kline's case.
Morrison said today that Kline's charges were "incorrect and based on a political agenda," and insisted that his own case "was not about politics or pursuing a personal agenda."
"During our review of Kline's 30 mistaken charges, we found a pattern — a pattern of referrals from one physician," he said.
The abortions in question involved cases in which patients were more than 21 weeks pregnant and the fetuses were able to survive outside the womb. Under such circumstances, Kansas law requires two doctors to conclude that if the pregnancy continues, a mother-to-be will face death or "substantial and irreversible" harm to "a major bodily function," which has been interpreted to include mental health.
According to Morrison, Tiller listed the second doctor as Ann Kristin Neuhaus, who was included on Kline's list of potential witnesses in his criminal case.
Life News has more on other charges Morrison dropped against Planned Parenthood and Tiller.

A study reported in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine found that F-18 flumazenil PET may be used in place of F-18 FDG PET for localizing the epileptogenic zone in cases of the most common adult form of drug-resistant epilepsy. "F-18 FMZ may provide a different and complementary measure of the epileptogenic substrate to [previous] clinical assessments. Importantly, the F-18 FMZ [binding potential] images could be constructed using a method that did not require arterial blood sampling, making it suitable for routine clinical practice," according to the authors.

You should ask these people for referrals. Trade show are another great outlets where professionals and consumers can interact.

The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) is partnering with the Berlin-based Arsenal Institute for Film and Video Art to screen productions from DIFF's list of the 100 greatest Arab films.
The showcase will kick off June 13 with Ziad Doueiri's West Beirut in the German capital's landmark Arsenal theater and run for six days.
DIFF worked with nearly 500 prominent regional and international film critics, writers, novelists, academics and other arts professionals to curate "Cinema of Passion," the first project of its kind in the Arab world to draw up a 100 greatest film list.
DIFF artistic director Masoud Amralla Al Ali said: "We are looking forward to sharing the region's rich cinematic traditions and shining a spotlight on the past and present of Arab cinema [in Berlin]. The films come from a diverse selection of genres, and we truly hope that filmgoers find the experience enriching and educational."
The German partnership follows hot on the heels of DIFF's showcase of three of the top 100 titles in Los Angeles in conjunction with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which also chose Doueiri's film set in the spring of 1975 as the Lebanese civil war unfolds.
As with the U.S. event, Chadi Abdel Salam's The Mummy (Al-Mummia) and Youssef Chahine's Cairo Station (Bab el Hadid) will also unspool in Germany.

HOYLAKE, England (AP) - Steve Stricker has withdrawn from the British Open next week at Royal Liverpool. It's the second straight year he has decided not to play as he cuts back his schedule.
Stricker last year began reducing his schedule to spend more time with his family. He thought about playing The Open this year, though it looked unlikely when he added The Greenbrier Classic to his schedule and his wife caddied for him.
Ishikawa won in Japan last week for his first victory since November 2012. That moved him to a No. 76 world ranking and enabled him to be the first alternate. Ross Fisher of England is next on the reserve list.

1995 Honda Civic Q&A
1995 Honda Civic Question: changed the fan relay
Changed the coolant fan fuse, but the fan still won't come on - sumoe
Answer 1
On early Honda's, it is common for the cooling fan temperature switch to become defective. One way to check this is to turn on the A/C system, if you have A/C. If the fan comes on with the A/C, then the fan motor and relay are ok. If not, then the there is a problem with the motor, relay or fuse. If they do come on, then check the cooling fan temp switch. You can test it by using a fused jumper wire to bypass the switch to see if the fan comes on. - dandd

I'm not a sentimental person, but it's difficult not to be touched by the fact that Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell, the�stars of Green Day's 2005 video "Wake Me Up When September Ends,"�got married this week.
If you've never�watched the video for�this song, you�should. Personally, I'm not�a big fan of Green Day … �I like a few of their songs, but overall they're not my style …�"Wake Me Up When September Ends" is one of those�epic ballads, though,�that makes all women swoon and all�men's eyeliner run.
The video to the song is an�extremely poignant statement about the U.S. war with Iraq. It was shot in 2005, at the ugliest part of�a very ugly war, and�is very emotional,�very romantic, and completely unforgettable. As mentioned previously, I'm not sentimental, not into chick flicks, not easily reduced to tears�… but that video kills me and�the fact that these two were�married … and years after the fact …�really tugs at my ovaries.
Twenty-six year old Jamie and�25-year old Evan�first met when filming the video as teenagers, way back in 2005. They�dated�afterwards, but separated after about a year. Then Evan apparently lost her fucking mind and began dating the ultra-creepy and much, much older Marilyn Manson. They were even engaged for a time … one can only assume to the horror of her family and friends.
Reunited earlier this year, Jamie and Evan married�a few days ago with a "small ceremony in�California." Further details have not yet been released so it's unclear if it was small by normal standards or by celebrity standards. Evan tweeted "Words cannot describe the happiness I am feeling. Overwhelming."
Evan has been a tabloid figure since her teenage years when she starred in the amazing film 13. Since then, in addition to her highly publicized relationship with Manson, she�came out as a bisexual, and starred a vampire-queen on True Blood. Her new husband, Jamie, is best known for playing the title role in the amazing film Billy Elliot and recently starred as the motion capture Tintin in Stephen Spielberg's�The Adventures of Tintin.
Grizzly and jaded as I am, I wish this couple�every happiness. And Marilyn, keep your fucking distance. You've been warned.

This is just AWESOME extension. Ever since I'm using Ubuntu only I have searched for a nice Fiddler replacer. This add-on is just that! Simple, powerful, great!
Ohodnoceno 5 z 5 hvězdiček
This is simply amazing!
It has everything it promises, a very easy to use, intuitive GUI and also some nice extra features, like a deminify button right under the text area, or even a search-and-replace feature when you modify text resources like scripts or style sheets.
The only tiny drawbacks are that the GUI doesn't feel native, and that you still get a warning message when closing a modified file, even though you have already applied it. But these minor issues appear even smaller when you compare it to the whole extension: You can modify, replace or delete loaded resources both easily and comfortably. And it works.
In fact, I feel like I have browsed the whole AMO repository and didn't find one single extension which even promised what this extension features. I challenge anyone to prove me otherwise.

If you're a developer or a webdesigner and you do JS and CSS on a regular basis, then STOP! Don't read anymore, just install this and be amazed.
"Hey! I need a quick fix on this JS, or... please fix this CSS on that page."
Sounds familiar? I imagine so. Well, with PourBico, you can do that in a perfectly streamlined environment and come out with a ready to go new JS/CSS file or files. All done in a fraction of time you would need if you use traditional environments.
Have a shot and be amazed.

Threads Under Glass Card
By: Maria Nerius
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Try an inventive way to create a new card for your collection. Glass makes these metallic threads pop and makes a cool card. Designed by Maria Nerius, this is a papercrafter's delight.
- Glass slides
- Foiling tape
- Card blank
- Pink mulberry paper
- Scrap watercolor paper
- Texture stamps
- Pearl pink and mint green pigment ink
- Assorted markers
- Brush with palette and water or a waterbrush
- Scraps of metallic threads
- Paper glue
- Cut strips of watercolor paper exact size of your glass slides. Ranger Ink sells several different sizes of these glass slides or have them cut at your local stained glass shop. Using a palette, swipe some color from a marker onto it, take a wet paintbrush and pick up the color. Tap brush tip to splatter the ink onto the strips of watercolor paper. Yellow, pink, navy blue, and light blue inks were used. If you have a watercolor brush, just pick up the color by swiping the brush over the marker tip, mix on palette, splatter.
- Place random metallic threads onto the splattered watercolor paper. Place glass slide on top. Foil. To foil you hold the glass slide and the watercolor strip back with threads sandwiched inbetween. Remove paper backing from the foiling tape and run around outside edge, then with finger press tape to edge, then to front and back. The foiling tape holds it all together! Foiling tape is self adhesive and found where stained glass supplies are sold.
- Stamp the card front with your texture stamps. Allow to dry. Cut a mat slightly larger than the measurement of the slides spaced. Adhere this pink mulberry mat to the top center of card front. Adhere row of the glass slides. Optional: Splatter card front for finishing touch.

Great idea-only instead of using glass-cut out some that plastic that everything comes sealed in, then you can mail with out worrying about broken Glass. You do eveyrthing the same way, with the tape etc.

$213 $213 USD APPROXIMATELY %s
Ideal for Newcomers to the Hobby
tinyTesla is easy to build thanks to a low component count, making it ideal for budding coilers who are seeking a first coil, students looking for an eye-catching science fair project, or the casual electronics enthusiast looking for an exciting new gadget to build. By taking advantage of modern technologies and machine-wound secondaries, it achieves a small, compact size. And at under 50W of power (during typical usage), tinyTesla opens up a wide array of exciting operation and installation possibilities.
tinyTesla Has Everything you Need
The tinyTesla kit comes with all of the electronic and hardware components you need to build your singing Tesla coil. A pre-wound secondary coil on a clear acrylic former is included, so that you won't have to wind 600 turns of hair-thin wire by hand! We also include a beautiful spun metal toroid, extruded anodized chassis for the USB interrupter, weighted breakout point, and other accessories. You will need a soldering iron, paint-on or spray-on varnish, and hand tools to build the kit.
If you have wondered how to build a Tesla coil but didn't know where to start, constructing a kit will provide guidance and a design you know will work if properly assembled. Our support forum provides assistance if you run into problems, and replacement parts are only a click away.
USB Plug-and-Play Connectivity
tinyTesla is the first of its kind as a USB-controlled Tesla coil kit. The interrupter connects directly over USB to a Windows, Mac, or Linux laptop and operates as a standard USB MIDI device. This means it will work with your favorite MIDI software out of the box. We also offer a downloadable, simple-to-use control panel for basic song playback and MIDI analysis.

No matter what your profession you need to have a voice to communicate.
Singers need one to be in tune and on pitch.
Lawyers need one that is commanding yet inquisitive.
Doctors need one that is authoritative but reassuring.
Therapists' voices need to be empathetic and understanding.
Bloggers' need a voice that…um…well…sounds like them?
As I said earlier this week I've been thinking a lot about the blog, which inevitably means I'm doing a lot of thinking about me. Right now I'm just not quite sure who "I" or "Morningstar Project" really is, which makes it a little hard to sound myself in all my writing.
Knowing about my current life circumstances might help explain some of this. Right now I am 2 weeks away from defending my dissertation, 2.5 weeks away from moving across the country, and a month away from starting an internship.
Basically a lot is about to change. I will no longer say "graduate student" but instead "psych intern." I won't tell people I live in California, but instead that I reside in Baltimore. I will no longer be a 4th year student, but a professional out in this big scary world. You might wonder what the big deal is – it's just a wording change Lindsey. But for someone who likes things in neat, tidy, self-contained categories these label changes kinda freak me out.
Example of this was changing my name after getting married. I had a hissy fit even a 5-year-old would scoff at. Not because I didn't want to take my husband's name on, I loved his name. I just didn't want to give up my name. The name that clearly showed I was Irish, the name I learned to write in elementary school, the name that held years of history – my history.
So what does this all have to do with my blogging voice?
Well I realized that I've been trying to sound a certain way on here that might not always be authentic. I want to sound smart, funny, witty, and kind all in one. I want to sound like an authority on something. I want to motivate people to make positive changes in their lives.
Basically I find myself wanting to sound like someone else. Wanting to steal the words from someone else's head because their life seems more put together. They seem to know what they're talking about.
Me? I'm just a confused, bumbling mess. Ok, maybe a slightly funny, bumbling mess who does know how to operate a camera and pour olive oil on things. And well I guess I do have some expertise on psychology since I did go to school for 8 years to study it. Oh geez that is insane.
And maybe, just maybe, people like reading things from those who don't have it all together? I know I do. So perhaps someone else does too? And maybe all those someone elses can combine to together to agree on that fact that, we have no idea what we're doing but can at least smile at the fact we aren't alone.

After satisfying concerns from neighbors and city officials, the Pasadena Apartments gained final approval Aug. 5 from the Common Council.
Two eight-unit apartment buildings at 8416 and 8426 W. North Avenue will be demolished to make way for Pasadena, a four-story, 24-unit apartment building. Two four-unit buildings to the east of the development will be retained.
The developer, Cardinal Capital Management, plans to do demolition work in September, begin construction in October, and open the apartments about a year later, according to Dan Kroetz, acquisitions manager for CCM. Kroetz said residents in the buildings to be razed have been given formal notice to vacate by the end of August.
The new building, about 9,000 square feet, will be faced mostly with brick in walnut and golden colors. It will have wooden bay windows, patios and stone planters. All of the units will be one-bedroom, with rates ranging from $1,000 to $1,300, Kroetz said.
Without city contributions, the developer estimates the property's assessed value will grow to $3 million.
When the Community Development Committee approved the plans in advance of Common Council, Alderman Bobby Pantuso said he thought the building would provide a "you-have-arrived moment" for travelers on North Avenue. Alderman Jeff Roznowski agreed, saying it would help improve the image of the business district.
"This is an opportunity to put a mark and gateway into a growing business district we're calling Midtown Tosa, to really define and make this a special area," Roznowski said.
Roznowski said he thought the apartments would also help attract and retain residents.
"I feel this particular proposal will attract empty nesters, keep them in Tosa, and attract young professionals before they have the money to buy their first home," he said.
Neighbors to the north originally had concerns about privacy and security that were allayed when they signed a private contract with the developer, Cardinal Capital Management.
"All of our concerns and needs have been met so we're in support of the project," neighbor Ryan Hetzel said.
Hetzel said the developer scrapped some balconies on the north side of the building, and said it would install a fence and landscaping near that property line.
