Geographic Range
Pseudacris crucifer is native to eastern North American. It is found from southeast Manitoba east to the Atlantic Ocean, and south to eastern Texas and mainland Florida (but not on the Florida Peninsula). It is reported to have been introduced to Cuba as well. (Conant and Collins, 1998; Skelly, 1996)

This frog is found in marshy woods and non-wooded lowlands near ponds and swamps. Although it is a good climber, spring peepers seem to prefer to be on the ground or hiding in leaf litter. Spring peepers breed in freshwater ponds or pools, and prefer to use ponds where there are no fish. They often use temporary ponds that dry up after the larvae (tadpoles) have transformed into adult frogs and left the water.
One study found that during a drought in Arkansas, spring peepers were one of the most commonly discovered anuran in caves. The authors suggest this species used these caves in late summer (late July/early August) because the relative humidity in the caves was high (avg = 79%).

Physical Description
The average spring peeper varies in size from 20 - 25 mm at maturity. This frog is usually some shade of brown, gray, or olive, and occasionally may be yellow or reddish. Its belly is cream or white, and it is marked by a dark cross on its back and dark bands on its legs. Pseudacris crucifer has moderately webbed feet and noticeable disks on its fingers and toes.

Eggs are generally laid in temporary ponds. Embryos and larvae may die when the pH of the habitat ranges from 4.2 to 4.5. The larval stage can last from 45 to 90 days, and is partially dependent on the availability of water in vernal pools. Compared to a related species, Pseudacris triseriata, the spring peeper has a longer development time (a prolonged larval period), in which metamorphosis is delayed. (Blair and Wassersug, 2000; Smith and VanBurskirk, 1995; Zampella and Bunnell, 2000)

Males begin mating rituals shortly after the end of hibernation. The males will gather at small pools by the hundreds. Each male establishes a small territory and begins calling quite frequently. This call is described as a shrill "peep peep peep." The louder and faster he peeps, the better his chances of attracting a receptive female. Males usually compete in trios, and the male with the lowest-pitched call usually starts the vocal competition. (Woodward and Mitchell, 1990)
The spring peeper is usually about three years old before it reaches the breeding stage. The species is one of the first anurans to begin breeding after winter hibernation. The breeding period lasts from March - June, when 800 - 1000 eggs per female are laid in shallow ponds. The eggs hatch within 6 to 12 days, and tadpoles transform to adults during July (range 45 - 90 days).
Female spring peepers typically choose mates in a size-selective fashion -- larger males are preferred and are more successful breeders. (Blaustein, et al., 2001; Lance and Wells, 1993)

Spring peepers are known for their high piping whistle consisting of a single clear note repeated on intervals. The males sing, normally doing so in trios, the one who starts each round is usually the deepest voiced. During the daytime, peepers often call during light rains or in cloudy weather. They are usually silent at the end of summer, but call from forests during the fall.
This species hibernates under logs and in treeholes. (Tyler, 1994)

Home Range
During breeding season, home range diameters range from 1.2 - 5.5 m (4 - 18 ft.), and the peeper's average daily travel ranges from 6.1 - 39.6 m (20 - 130 ft.). They tend to be found in natural ponds and bogs. (Zampella and Bunnell, 2000)
Communication and Perception
Mating calls are heard during early April - May, and greatest during warm, wet nights. They start calling when the ambient temperature is 28C. Calls (peeps) often end with a high pitched slur, and is repeated about 20 times/minute. (Blaustein, et al., 2001; Hinshaw and Sullivan, 1990)

- acoustic
Food Habits
Pseudacris crucifer is insectivorous, eating mainly small insects including ants, beetles, flies, and spiders. It is believed that food is chosen more by availability and size than by actual preference.
Subadult peepers are know to feed most often in the early morning hours and in the late afternoon, while adults more often fed in the late afternoon into the early evening hours.
Larvae graze on algae, detritus, and micro-organisms. (Buell and Marshall, 1955; Oplinger, 1967)

Many predators attack adult peepers, including salamanders, owls, large spiders, snakes, and other birds.
Predaceous aquatic invertabrates in vernal pools prey upon the spring peeper tadpole. The invertebrates include the predaceous diving beetle (Family Dytiscidae), leeches (Hirundinea), dragonfly larvae (Odonata) and giant water bugs ( Belastoma spp.). In response to the presence of predators, peepers in larval stage travel short distances in a darting fashion, then remains completely inactive for long bouts of time.
There has been a wealth of work examining tadpole phenotypic plasticity in common frogs like the spring peeper. With their short bodies and deep tails, peepers tend to sacrifice part of their tails during tadpole development. One study found that 62.7% of peeper individuals lost part of their tails during Gosner developmental stages 26-34. The proportion of the tail that was damaged was 8.5%. In later Gosner stages (35 - 43), only 34% of peepers exhibited tail damage, suggesting either that individuals can rehabilitate tails or that injured individuals do not survive to the next stage. However, spring peepers are one of the few species in this study that could tolerate tail loss exceeding 25% (sometimes >50%). (Blair and Wassersug, 2000; Hinshaw and Sullivan, 1990)
Ecosystem Roles
The spring peepers' role (as adults) is to feed on insects, which put it in competition with other amphibians as well as different spider species that feed on insects as well. Vernal pond predators such as leeches, large insects, and salamander larvae may depend on the spring peeper as a source of food.
Spring peepers are hosts to parasites, including a protozoan species called Opalina obtrigonoidea. (Blair and Wassersug, 2000; Delvinquier and Desser, 1996)
- Opalina obtrigonoidea (a parasitic protozoan)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Spring peepers may help to control certain insect populations. (Blair and Wassersug, 2000)
- Positive Impacts
- controls pest population
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse effects of Pseudacris crucifer on humans.
Conservation Status
This is a relatively common anuran within its range, but some states on the on the edge of its range give it special protection. It is listed as "Protected" in New Jersey and "Threatened" in Kansas. (Levell, 1997)

Other Comments
A recent study examined the effects of climate change on anurans. In the case of the spring peeper, over the last 30 years, overall start of breeding was not significantly earlier. However, the authors did find a positive relationship between temperature and breeding date.
Pseudacris crucifer was formerly known as Pseudacris crucifer, and is referenced as such in older book and article citations. (Blaustein, et al., 2001)

The Caddo and Little Missouri rivers -- two normally gentle waterways -- rose by more than 20 feet overnight, engulfing the hikers and campers who were spending the night in tents along the rivers in the isolated Ouachita Mountains.
"Within 10 minutes, the water had rose and campers were floating down," Hofer told ABC News. "If they didn't get out of their camper within five, 10 minutes, they weren't getting out."
The 54-unit campground was quickly inundated with water. The water was so violent it overturned RVs and peeled asphalt off the roads.
"There was a lot of devastation in there, where it's coming along this river," said Capt. Mike Fletcher of the Arkansas State Police Department. "There's vehicles that's overturned, there's cabins washed off their foundations."
The area affected, the Albert Pike campground, is managed by the U.S. Forest Service and is about 75 miles west of Little Rock. It is a popular camping area, partly because of its secluded location. Officials say they expect more deaths but do not yet have a full count on the number of people at the site or missing.
"We don't know who was in there last night," State Police spokesman Bill Sadler told The Associated Press. "This is a very wide area."
Brigette Williams, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross in Little Rock, told The Associated Press that between 200 and 300 people were believed to be in the area at the time of the flooding. She did not know how many of those were campers and how many were local residents.
DeCample said people there would have had "very little warning or alerts" because the flooding occurred while most people were sleeping. And because the area is so remote and terrain so rugged, officials believe that campers would have had to hike downstream in the dark to escape the valley, making the chances of survival for some even slimmer.
The Little Missouri west of Caddo Gap stood at 3 feet Thursday, but after 7.6 inches of rain fell in the area overnight the level jumped to 23.5 feet by Friday morning. It later dropped to 11.5 feet.
Searchers were working along the Little Missouri River in Montgomery and Pike counties and the National Guard dispatched helicopters to help in the rescue.
"We're just in the process of right now, trying to see if we have anyone to be rescued along the river there, and uh, also in a recovery stage," said Capt. Fletcher.
Officials were also bringing in a refrigerated truck to serve as a temporary morgue and downstream Glenwood police and fire crews monitored river debris moving beneath a highway overpass.
Two Shreveport, La., families were at the Albert Pike campgrounds when the floods hit, a family friend told ABC affiliate KTBS.
A 5-year-old member of one family was swept away by flood waters, and the father and a 2-year-old child were missing, said Tonya Rabalais of Shreveport.
The father of the other family -- which consisted of a husband, wife and three children -- was missing, Rabalais said. The mother of the first family and four members of the second family survived.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

BUFFALO, NY -- Severely restricting calories leads to a longer life, scientists have proved.
New research now has shown for the first time that such a diet also can maintain physical fitness into advanced age, slowing the seemingly inevitable progression to physical disability and loss of independence.
The study, using a rat model of life-time caloric restriction, showed that the diet reduces the amount of visceral fat, which expresses inflammatory factors that in humans cause chronic disease and a decline in physical performance and vitality across the lifespan.
The study appears in the October issue of Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences.
Have we finally discovered the Fountain of Youth?
No. But we may be getting a little closer.
This is the first study to report that caloric restriction reduced production in visceral fat of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and enhanced performance on overall physical function assessments, said Tongjian You, Ph.D., assistant professor of exercise and nutrition sciences in the UB School of Public Health and Health Professions and principal investigator.
In addition, rats that ate a normal diet lost a significant amount of lean muscle mass and acquired more fat, while calorie-restricted rats maintained lean muscle mass as they aged.
The study was conducted with male rats in three age groups -- 18, 24 and 29 months, comparable to ages 50-70 years in humans -- that had been fed either a normal or
40-percent calorie-restricted diet from birth. The animals were put through tests to determine grip strength, muscle tone, stamina and swimming speed. Data also were collected on whole body mass, lean body mass, fat mass, percent body fat, the ratio of fat-to-lean body mass, amount of visceral fat and the amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines and C-reactive protein, a marker of chronic inflammation.
Results showed that animals on the restricted

Join author Brian Trifon as he shows how to improve music and audio productions using virtual instruments in Logic Pro. This course tours the program's virtual instruments, including the ES2 hybrid synthesizer, Sculpture physical modeling synthesizer, EFM1 FM synthesizer, the EVOC 20 vocoder, the Ultrabeat drum synthesizer, and the EXS24 sampler, and shows how to achieve various effects with each instrument's parameters. The course also covers working with oscillators and filters, understanding signal flow, creating custom synthesizer patches, adding effects, synthesizing speech, creating a library of custom sound samples, and much more.
Virtual Instruments with Logic Pro will be updating on a monthly basis, eventually covering all the virtual instruments in the application. Look for the latest movies here and on the lynda.com blog.
Let's take a look at preset keys in the EVB3. And these are going to recall and store the different drawbar settings, known as registrations. So we have this row here for the upper drawbars and for the upper keyboard, and we have this other row for the lower keyboard. We also have this Morph parameter in the center that's going to allow us to morph between different upper drawbar registrations. I have this first preset key selected right here, and if I adjust these drawbars--so I'll pull them down-- you can see that it's mimicked here on this preset key, and so I can click on this other ones and that will trigger different drawbar settings.
So if we take a look at the original B3, you can see that the lowest octave here, the color of the keys, is inverted. We have black keys and we have white sharps and flats. These are the preset keys on the B3, and pressing them recalls different drawbar registrations. This functions in the same way on the EVB3. So the organ notes go all the way down to the note C1, but below that, to the octave of C0 to B0 is going to trigger the preset keys, and this lowest note is the Cancel key. And when I click that, it sets all the drawbars back to its minimum.
So when I play in the octave of C0 to B0, if I play C0, it's the Cancel key. C# is my first registration, D is my second, and I just continue to play chromatically. You can see I'm going to the presets. So all the way up till I get to B0, when I go above that I'm in the range of the organ, because I'm at C1. So the cool thing is I can play some notes with my right hand, and then I can trigger different registrations with my left hand in that low octave. (music playing) So you can get some pretty cool musical effects with that.
Another trick that I can do is if hold down the Cancel key, so that C0, and then I play a chord with my right hand and then I continue to hold down the Cancel key, but I trigger other preset keys with my left hand, so in this low octave. (music playing) Here I get this skated affect, because every time I change registration, it retriggers the chord. So the next thing I can do is I can morph between my different presets. So what happens is my morph is going to go from the note B0 in the direction of the left, and I can set the range of that down below. So I've got this user preset morph here, and I've got this range. So right now it's set to off, but if I click on this menu here, I can set the range that I want the morph to happen.
So for example, if I set the range all the way down to C#, then I'm going to morph between B0 and all of the drawbar settings down to the C# note, so let's check that out. I'll go ahead and I'll play a note. I'm going to move this morph wheel here. (music playing) You can see it morphs between the settings. And this is kind of like less of a morph and morph of step, and the reason for that is if we look right below, I've got a mode setting here. So right now it set to Step, but I can change that by clicking on it to Linear, so now it's going to be a smoother transition.
(music playing) So if I want to tab less range for my morph, I could set it to B0 to A# 0, so I'll set my range to A#. So now it's just going to transition from these two notes. So you can see it is a much more subtle of a setting. Now if I come up with some really cool sound while I'm morphing, so let's I'm somewhere in between the two and this sounds good, I can actually save this to one of the preset keys.
So the way I do that is I go over to the right here in the Save to menu and then I choose what preset key I want to save it to. So I'm going to save this to C# and so that's saved it to C#, and I can go and check and click, and there it is. And the other parameter we have here is we can have a MIDI controller control this morph parameter. So right now it's set to ModWheel, but if I want to change it to something else, I could learn it to MIDI controller. Right now I'm going to have it be ModWheel. So now if I play a note, and I move my ModWheel, you can see it's going to morph between settings.
Now that we've explored how to store, trigger, and morph our drawbar registrations settings, in the next video let's take a look at how we can add some movement, depth, and punch to the sound with the scanner, vibrato, and percussion effects.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - Game
By: Matt Paprocki Blogcritics.org Reviews
Published on: 6/3/2007 5:40 PM
|Loaded with irritating puzzles, dull combat, and touchy camera, this overly extended movie based title falls completely flat (or directly through the floor if you find one of the many glitches). Though titled At World's End, you'll be forced to play through the second movie, Dead Man's Chest, long before taking part in the storyline of the third Pirates outing. ...read the full review
Customer Reviews of Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At Worlds End
He likes it1/3/2009
I bought this game for my 10 yr. old as a Christmas present. I personally have no knowledge of this game but when asked about it, he says the graphics are good as well as his like of the game. It's not too difficult (and I didn't hear him getting angry with it)..he hates games that "cheat"...and overall he likes the game I think, because he likes the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series and the online Disney game..this is an extension that he can take with him whenever he wishes and he says it's really fun.

150 years later, America's Civil War continues to teach us lessons.
Heading out:
Gettysburg has been in the news a lot lately and there's a good reason for it. Through 2015, this hallowed ground is the focal point of an international commemoration of the most famous battle on American soil and one of the most famous speeches in world history, the Gettysburg Address. Throughout this time, there will be battle re-enactments, living history, special events, tours, and exhibits. And if you're not a Civil War buff? Well, there's plenty for you too, from antiquing to wine-tasting to ghost-hunting and more.
Fun fact:
After President Lincoln delivered his now-famous address, the Patriot and Union newspaper called his words "silly remarks" that deserved "a veil of oblivion" dropping over them. This past November, the Patriot News, as it is now called, apologized for its remarks and withdrew its criticism.
Not to miss:
Gettysburg Diorama
241 Steinwehr Ave.
At this popular exhibit, you can see the entire battlefield in 3-D miniature as you hear the story of the three-day battle and how it progressed. More than 20,000 hand-painted miniatures bring the Battle of Gettysburg "up close and personal" with a sound and light show describing the bloody events. Miniature vignettes surrounding the Diorama show details of the Generals' headquarters and specific battles.
Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center
1195 Baltimore Pike
Just a short distance from major points on the Battlefield, the 139,000-square-foot Museum and Visitor Center features 11 exhibit galleries, with some of the popular items from the collection such as weaponry and uniforms, along with state-of-the-art galleries that display an even greater variety of objects and artifacts that offer perspective and a greater appreciation for the sacrifices of those who became a part of the greatest battle ever fought in North America. At the Visitor Center, you can also arrange to meet a Licensed Battlefield Guide, and catch the shuttle to the
Eisenhower National Historic Site
Battlefield Driving Tours
Gettysburg "Long Remember" is a comprehensive, self-guided driving tour of the Battlefield. It includes all three days of the conflict, with many human interest stories about the participants and citizens of the town of Gettysburg. The tour ends with a moving stroll through the Soldiers' National Cemetery where, on Nov. 19, 1863, during the dedication ceremony, President Abraham Lincoln spoke the memorable words now known as the Gettysburg Address.
Ghostly Images of Gettysburg
777 Baltimore Street
717-334-6296 (call for times and locations)
This nightly 90-minute ghost walking tour ends inside a haunted house (no worries—the ghosts will let you leave). Weekly special events include the Midnight House Tour, Ghostly Encounter, and Haunted Bus Tour.
Eisenhower National Historic Site
1195 Baltimore Pike Suite 100
Shuttle Service Only
Eisenhower National Historic Site is the home and farm of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Located next to the Gettysburg Battlefield, the farm served the President as a weekend retreat and a meeting place for world leaders. Its peaceful setting and view of South Mountain made it a much-needed respite from Washington and a backdrop for efforts to reduce Cold War tensions. You can tour the home, enjoy a self-guided walk around the farm, or join a park ranger for an exploration of 1950s Secret Service operations or a look back at WWII. Children from 7-12 may become Junior Secret Service agents by doing activities in the Junior Secret Service Training Manual. Cell phone audio tours are also available; just dial 717-253-9265 from your cell phone to select one of many stories about the Eisenhowers, their family, and features about their home and farm. Story topics and stop numbers are listed on the Eisenhower NHS website at www.nps.gov/eise/planyourvisit/cell-phone-tour.htm. The tour is free, but normal cell phone minute charges apply.

Razzball Nation! If you have made it this far, you are either in the championship of your league or semi-finals. Or you play roto, which, let's face it, almost everyone saves for baseball. However, the end of the season is more like the end of fantasy football than baseball with teams benching their stars with the playoffs a mere few weeks out. It's the perils of owning great players on the elite teams. Just ask my buddy who I knocked off in my fantasy football championship years ago when the Eagles benched McNabb and Westbrook on Monday Night Football. Then the Eagles lost to my Panthers in the NFC Championship (I think it was that year, might be wrong – can I have another fact checker? I'm too lazy for Google). But I digress. The Heat benched both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade with "injuries" on Sunday, and both are listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Knicks. What, are they the new Patriots? Actually it's a lot closer than you'd think. You have Brady/Br

KABUL (AP) — Afghanistan has banned the use of a fertilizer chemical also used to make bombs.
President Hamid Karzai's office issued a decree Friday banning the use, production, storage, purchase or sale of ammonium nitrate and giving Afghans 30 days to turn in any supplies to authorities.
A statement says an investigation showed that militants had used the chemical in a series of bombings.
The government also has ordered training for customs house workers to detect the chemical, and says anybody violating the ban will be prosecuted.
NATO-led forces already have been confiscating the chemical with government permission, urging farmers to use fertilizer containing urea nitrate instead.

Defections Leave Music Note as Beldame Choice
There was a time not too long ago that a meeting among the nation's best fillies and mares in the $600,000 Beldame (gr. I) was a distinct possibility. But with Rachel Alexandra on the sideline, Zenyatta staying in California for the Lady's Secret (gr. I), and Icon Project now heading to Keeneland's Juddmonte Spinster (gr. I), the Beldame has lost some of its appeal.
The defections of the aforementioned stars now leaves Godolphin's Music Note as the one to beat in the nine-furlong contest, and the 4-year-old daughter of A.P. Indy will have to defeat only four rivals to earn the fifth grade I victory of her career. Based on her last race and her success at Belmont, the bay filly certainly seems up to the task.
Music Note, the 2-5 morning-line choice, enters the Beldame off a convincing 5 1/4-length romp in the seven-furlong Ballerina (gr. I) Aug. 29 on the Saratoga slop. It was just her second start of the season after finishing fifth in the Ogden Phipps Handicap (gr. I) while coming off a seven and a half month hiatus.
As a 3-year-old, Music Note won four times over the Belmont main track, including grade I triumphs in the Mother Goose, Coaching Club American Oaks, and Gazelle. The 8 1/2-length Gazelle score set her up for a run in the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic (gr. I) at Santa Anita, where she finished a solid third to Zenyatta. In that race, Music Note was a 9-1 longshot and facing older horses for the first time. If the talented filly were to win the Beldame as expected, there are some who believe she will a major force if she returns to Santa Anita for the Nov. 6 Ladies Classic.
Trained by Saeed bin Suroor, Music Note has earned just over $1 million from 10 starts—six of them wins. Bred in Kentucky by Gainborough Farm, she is out of the Sadler's Wells mare Note Musicale. Rajiv Maragh will ride from post 1.
If Music Note is to be seriously challenged, it could come from the coupled entry of Unbridled Belle and Captain's Lover, both owned by Team Valor International and trained by Todd Pletcher.
Unbridled Belle, a 6-year-old with more than $1.7 million in earnings, is nearing the end of her career. The daughter of Broken Vow , who will be retired at the end of the season and bred to Medaglia d'Oro , enters off a last-place finish in the Aug. 30 Personal Ensign (gr. I) at Saratoga where she faded badly after a half mile. Her lone victory in four starts this season came in Delaware Park's Obeah (gr. III) over a sloppy track.
Unbridled Belle, to be ridden by Ramon Dominguez, won the Beldame by a head in 2007, the lone grade I score of her career. That was the same year she won the $1-million Delaware Handicap (gr. II).
"The weather is going to be a key part for Unbridled Belle," team Valor president Barry Irwin said. "She's run only once well on an off track at Delaware. If it's dry, we'll be as hopeful as ever."
Pletcher will try Captain's Lover on dirt for the second time after she dominated in her main track debut Aug. 2 in Monmouth Park's Matchmaker Stakes. The 5-year-old South African daughter of Captain Al drew away in the stretch to win by seven lengths in the slop for her first North American stakes victory.
A multiple group stakes winner in South Africa, Captain's Lover had made all of her other 12 starts on turf. After the Matchmaker, Pletcher tried her in the Aug. 29 Ballston Spa (gr. IIT), but she tired in the stretch to finish sixth.
"We like the way (Captain's Lover) breezed on dirt and like the way she came out of it," Pletcher said. "The options were to keep her here or ship to Keeneland and run on a synthetic surface, so we figured we'd take what's in front of us."
Pletcher also has a third charge in an attempt to take down Music Note, Besilu Stables' With Flying Colors. The 4-year-old filly broke her maiden in April and was sixth in the Personal Ensign (gr.I) Aug. 30.
Completing the field is Copper State, winner of the Central Iowa Stakes at Prairie Meadows last out for Steve Asmussen.
The Beldame is the first of five grade I races on Jockey Club Gold Cup day. Post time is set for 3:23 p.m. EDT.
$600,000 Beldame (gr. IT Race 6, 3:23 p.m.), Fillies and Mares 3-Year-Olds and Up, 1 1/8 Miles (Dirt)

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 7/26/12
General manager Frank Wren is annoyed that the news of a deal for Cubs right-hander Ryan Dempster got out on Monday, essentially scuttling it. Wren is blaming the internet and social media, when he should be taking aim at the front office executive who confirmed the deal to USA Today writer Bob Nightengale, who would not have been able to publish the news without official confirmation. That executive has not been identified, but typically in situations such as this one, the proverbial anonymous source is the head of media relations. Wren's contention is that, had the deal remained private, Dempster would have been able to think it over and discuss it with his family without the public glare and pressure. But the reality is that he was not likely to have waived his 10-5 rights to come to the Braves anyway. Dempster is from outside of Vancouver, British Columbia, which is one reason he wants to sign with the Dodgers when he becomes a free agent at the end of this season. ...

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has undergone surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the operation tells The Associated Press. Gronkowski suffered the season-ending injury Sunday when he caught a pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter and landed out of bounds on the arm for an incompletion in New England's 41-28 playoff win over the Houston Texans. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the surgery. Gronkowski had earlier surgery after breaking his left forearm on Nov. 18 in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He missed five games and returned for the season finale, a 28-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots (13-4) host the Baltimore Ravens (12-6) in the AFC championship game Sunday. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Regulars grumble about the uneven cooking at Le Balzar, but they continue to come back because they can't resist the waiters' wry humor and the dining room's amazing people-watching possibilities (you can also drop in for a drink on the terrace). The restaurant attracts politicians, writers, tourists, and local eccentrics—and remains one of the city's classic brasseries: the perfect stop before or after a film in a local art-house cinema. Don't expect miracles from the kitchen, but stick to evergreens like snails in garlic butter, onion soup, panfried veal liver with sautéed potatoes, and baba au rhum for dessert. Night owls congregate for the €25.50 menu, after 10 pm.

I recently returned to this classic brasserie twice, after many years. The onion soup gratinee was excellent; the veal sweetbreads good, if not fabulous. The prices are moderate for central Paris and the service level is usually fine. Families are there in the earlier dinner hours. They serve continuously all day so early/late lunches or early/late dinners are always possible. At peak hours, the place is crazy-Parisian, in a theatrical kind of way.
Not a stellar dining experience, but I'd never say no.
No Thanks

Trying this out.
Hello. My name is Kaia. I'm 21 year old Leo who is living every day as it comes. I'm looking to meet new people and hopefully form a deeper connection with someone. I've settled way too often in the last 5 years and I don't plan on doing it again. I'm currently preparing to start my first year of college next semester. Due to a series of unfortunate events and lack of motivation I didn't jump on that train right out of high school. Along with getting a car. So no, I can't drive. I'm a very confident person when I loosen up a little, but other than that. I'm human. I'm insecure. I am not a dyke, I guess because I don't talk like a man and I have long hair. I guess casual stud would be more accurate. I'm shy at first, but given the opportunity I can have you laughing the whole conversation. I'm a little rusty at talking up the ladies so forgive me. Haha. What I'm looking for in a girl is very important. I've learned that a "perfect body and gorgeous face" can only get you so far with someone. I've dated the stuck up, I'm too good for anyone kinda girls and I'm so over that scene. Especially when they turn out to be completely arrogant, selfishness and heartless. I'm looking for a exceptionally intellectual, intelligent, caring, open-minded, goal oriented, sweet, understanding, honest and loyal person. Yes I have to be attracted to you, but your thoughts and being is more of a concern for me. If you have the brains and eyes, you'll win me over. I really hope I hear from you sometime soon, I'm tired of biting into the rotten apples. But I guess it will be well worth it when you do show up. Also, I want friends too. So hit me up :)
