Why do men act mad when they're hurt?
I broke a promise to my boyfriend, now he is being mean, saying he's done, but I know he loves me. He says he's giving me tough love, but I feel if... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I think being mean/mad after being hurt is pretty natural.
Wouldn't you get angry/mad if someone just used you for sex? I know it's not exactly the same thing but I mean, come on. If you get mad/angry after being hurt than it would be reasonable to assume that men do as well.
So yes, I think he is being mean because you hurt him.
Well.. the guy most likely lost his trust in you so I guess you might need to work on rebuilding that & that's if the guy can forgive/look past it.
I know I wouldn't be able the trust the same person twice even if I loved them but then again that's how I am. Maybe the guy your with is different.
You are right! Thank you!
What Guys Said 3
What Girls Said 2
"Should" is a crazy word. "If you love someone, you shouldn't be mean to them." If you love someone, you shouldn't break a promise to them. He's most likely being mean to protect himself and to emphasize what a big deal it is, since you clearly think it's not. You hurt him. What are you doing to take responsibility on yourself and make it better?
I am getting the counseling that I need to not do what I did ever again, I'm also trying to get a job to help my self-esteem, I'm also respecting his space & I'm trying to be a better me by learning to love myself. I DO realize now that breaking a promise is VERY bad of me, I know I'll never DO that again, because what I did wasn't worth all the hurt I caused. Thank you for your comment! You are right! :)
- Show Older Hide Older
Thank you for your support and help! :) Him & I did have a genuine conversation, he does love me and is hurting, but he says he wants some space for himself and I need some too, to focus on myself and get right with myself & get established. He was kind about it, there is hope.
Good luck!

Kind of reminds me of a sports car from the late 70s ... don't recall its name, but the front and middle looked sharp and exciting like a traditional Corvette ... but then it just stopped, like somebody lopped off the back end of a vette. Just godawful looking, whatever the hell it was.

Texas Architect January/February 2014: Ecologies
This issue on "Ecologies" explores urban design across Texas and focuses on the increasing importance of green infrastructure for our cities. With the rehabilitation of the San Antonio River, the state now has the longest linear park in the nation. Dallas is also leading urban design trends with its progressive parks plan — Klyde Warren Park is just one example of the good work being done. Houston and Austin are also both relying on green infrastructure to create valuable public spaces. Other important urban design initiatives featured include mixed-use development in downtown Austin, El Paso's first net-zero senior housing project, and the push for San Antonio's missions to be added to the World Heritage List.

Moms Rock the Runway at New York Fashion Week
Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show took place onMonday, September 10th at 7PM in The Tents on The Stage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. The show, co-created by Executive Producer Stephanie Winston Wolkoff of SWW Creative and Denise Albert and Melissa Gerstein of The MOMS, featured real moms walking the runway in the top contemporary brands to showcase looks that are available in stores now. This season's theme of "Moms on a Mission" was chosen to provide mothers with access to fashion, while celebrating women who are making a difference as CEOs, philanthropists, and entrepreneurs.
The evening began with Stephanie Winston Wolkoff thanking the team of 'Moms on a Mission' who brought the show to life for its second season. Talk show personality Wendy Williams kicked off the show discussing the importance of moms supporting each other and involving their children in their lives. Denise Albert and Melissa Gerstein were the first to hit the runway strutting their stuff to the jams of nine-year-old deejay prodigy DJ Fulano.
The moms walking included actress Lisa Rinna, WWE's Stephanie McMahon and Chrysula Winegar of the Million Moms Challenge, along with real life heroes including an aplastic anemia survivor, a public school teacher and a military mom.
"The moms walking the Strut runway were chosen for their extraordinary dedication in their communities and around the world. This fall, we wanted to highlight affordable fashion, philanthropy and motherhood while making the world a better place," said Melissa Gerstein of The MOMS.
Rent the Runway provided many of the looks which can be rented on RenttheRunway.com where a percentage of proceeds will go to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. Bloomingdale's,Famous Footwear, and Nicole Romano Jewelry provided additional looks. Other brands participating in the show included FabKids.com, Jay Godfrey, Laundry by Shelli Segal,Ingrid and Isabel, Bath & Body Works, CLOS-ETTE too, Laura Geller Makeup, Matrix Hair Care, New Balance, Barbour, Tout, P.S. Aéropostale, Good Housekeeping and Julep.
"Moms today are raising more than just families -- they are raising new ideas and creating change. We created Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show to present moms with accessible fashion that allows them to embrace their style and bodies with confidence as they live their busy lives," explains Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

I like to eat stuff off the floor at the 6th second and fix your cute black frames with a staple like Macgyver. I have no shame in stealing your fries with dirty hands or doing stupid things that seemed to be a great idea at the time. Who am I looking for? Someone as awesome as I am that can kickass like Kickass and take sarcasm and insults as well as dish them out like a boss. If you are vegetarian, it really isn't going to work out because me and bacon go way back. Would be great if you workout because ain't nobody got time to be unhealthy. Ever wonder if we can just leave it to serendipity? Maybe you accidentally drop your coffee and I will point and laugh; you will get annoyed and I will apologize and offer to buy you a grande soy caramel macchiato right side up quintuple shot. We would then debate if your Tide pen can remove all the stains and if legumes qualify as vegetables...

You can just see the eye-rolls across the conference table when you bring it up.
It may not be tops on the list of things you want to address at a staff meeting, but cybersecurity is an issue that likely effects every one of your employees, everyday, and if you're delegating it to one person at the back of the IT department, you're making a big mistake.
"Security in the digital world is similar to security in your personal life," says Art Gilliland, General Manager of Enterprise Security Products at HP. "Our lives are becoming more and more digital, and crime is just following that pathway."
But most people have yet to consider their digital safety–and that of those around them–the way they do their personal safety, says Gilliland, noting that while you'd never walk through a dangerous area at night or leave your wallet lying around in a public space, you've almost definitely clicked on a link that didn't seem totally safe or downloaded something from an unknown source. (And you probably did it without a second thought.)
Asking people to change their passwords every three months is not enough anymore. With a few straightforward recommendations, you can make cybersecurity make sense to your staff, and, according to Gilliland, help them "start to protect themselves digitally like they do with door locks, car alarms, and rules that have been ingrained in us about physical danger."
Talk to your staff about cybersecurity the same way you would about workplace safety–and make it personal.
Gilliland encourages managers to take cues from industries like manufacturing and construction that confront safety issues on a daily basis and train and inform their workers accordingly. He recommends using stories that help employees understand the very real significance of cyber threats, citing the example of a California-based construction company that used discussions of how family members' lives are damaged by an employee's injury to reduce workplace accidents.
For example, he says, "checking in" at a restaurant on social media while you're traveling for work, or sharing photos while you're still on vacation creates vulnerabilities that can be easily exploited. Highlighting the potential hazards of these common behaviors can help employees gain the personal perspective that will prompt them to think twice.
Don't underestimate the power of a teachable moment, and don't let the moment get away.
IT departments in most companies will perform period "penetration tests," attempting to break into their own company digitally and exploit vulnerabilities in order to better understand where problems exist. A powerful tool, according to Gilliland, can be speaking with employees immediately if their computers are found to be at risk due to their actions, instead of just discussing the issue in general terms with the staff at a later time.
"Educate at that moment. It can be private, but it's very powerful at the time of failure."
Make it crystal clear: 'Your work computer is actually trying to help you do your job.'
"Computers are pretty good at warning you now when something is dangerous," says Gilliland, referencing the "The certifications on this website is not current" pop-up message with which most professionals are familiar. "'Do you want to do this? OK or no?' Most people hit the 'OK' button because they want to get on with it. Computers are pretty good at stopping us, but you have to listen to them."
Make sure employees understand your company's security parameters, and educate them in some of the most common messages they may receive from your own network or online. That way, they'll understand how to respond appropriately.
The tendency, says Gilliland, is to think, "'Why is the computer bothering me? Why is it stopping me from getting my job done?' It's trying to protect you."
Mobile devices let your employees work from everywhere. And increase the potential for threats.

About Me
Hi there!
I'm fun and spontaneous have a ton of energy (possibly too much sometimes) and I love meeting new people. I'm very athletic, and love doing outdoor shoots! I grew up in Southern CA, so naturally I adore the beach!
I'll do just about any shoot you have to offer, so long as it's not a nude shoot. I really want to expand my modeling, and do some beach shots.
I also like guns (not very girly...I know)... But if you ever have a photo shoot involving guns, i'm all in!
If I sound like your gal, hit me up!!

Happy Friday friends!
I have some fantastic news, I have finally launched my new business!
Home Sweet Yoga – Build a unique yoga practice, so you can feel confident, calm & comfortable in your own skin.
Home Sweet Yoga connects you with experienced, highly qualified yoga teachers to practice in the comfort of your own home. You can set up a group class with your friends and family, or benefit from one on one attention and focus. Alternatively, for those of you who aren't located in Sydney, you can set up an online consultation with one of our experts online!
We're on a mission to reframe the way we approach yoga – you are unique, your practice should be too.
So excited and happy to be able to share this with you, I do hope you'll join the growing tribe over on Facebook.
This business is the result of months of work brainstorming, writing, long discussions with friends and family. There were many chats over coffee, tea and the occasional wine about how I wanted to make a difference, and what I found frustrating about the current yoga teaching model.
I love yoga and the amazing things the practice has done for me, but there is no one style/brand/teacher who suits me to a T. I have to mix it up depending on my current health, stress levels and lifestyle. I enjoy teaching general hatha vinyasa classes and yin classes, but I still felt that what these students need is something more…. Something tailored, a practice that suits them and their unique needs.
I started teaching privately. Just a couple of groups at first, friends, family, colleagues.
It was clear – I had found my niche! No one session is the same with my private clients, no one approach to asana will work for all of them and each person needs a different blend of the yoga practices for their body/mind. The idea for Home Sweet Yoga was born.
Home Sweet Yoga can help you build a personalised practice that's uniquely tailored for your needs. We offer group classes and private classes here in Sydney, with highly qualified and experienced yoga teachers. Alternatively, we will consult with you over Skype to help you solve any yoga problems or to help you take the practice deeper. Our signature package is the Build Your Home Practice – 6 sessions either face to face or over Skype to build your home practice, customised to help you experience yoga using the methods that are right for you.
I'm on a mission – I want to change the way we approach yoga. Let's move away from a reliance on certain styles and types of classes, to take ownership of our practice and make sure it works for us.
You wouldn't take your Mum's prescriptions, you wouldn't follow your partner's personal training regime – why should you practice yoga exactly as someone else has had it work for them?
It's time the industry matured – away from competing with the aerobics classes, towards a professional personalised approach. Ironically, this requires us to remember how yoga was initially taught by one of the Grandfathers of yoga, Sri Krishnamacharya.
"He always taught what was appropriate for each individual. The purpose and the capability of the person determined the practice. He always designed the practice depending on the person and the purpose." ~ From this article on the legacy of Krishnamacharya.
This is why an Iyengar class is so different from an ashtanga session – Krishnamacharya gave BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois different practices to suit each of their individual needs! They then took their routines out to the world, teaching students yoga as they knew it, based on what worked for them.
While this brought yoga to the rest of us, it set the trend for yogis to claim that their way of practicing is THE next way for students to follow – think anasura, jivamukti, shiva's flow, baron's power. Is it any wonder that my body/mind doesn't fit with any of these approaches exactly? Why should it, given that this is not the way yoga was ever intended to be taught?
Home Sweet Yoga will focus on connecting experienced teachers with students who want an individualised approach, a yoga practice that is designed just for them. I suppose the one slight exception would be the private group classes that we offer, but even then with a small group I feel it is easier to modify for each individual student. These classes are perfect for groups such as mothers groups, or close friends who are of a similar age and fitness level.
So far the other yogis I have on board are incredible, with a yoga therapy background and a committment to working with students from all backgrounds and abilities.
Above all I want to help more people establish their OWN practice. Something they feel at home and comfortable with, and confident practicing. These days the question "Do you practice yoga" is usually followed by "oh, what style?". I think it would be amazing if we could replace this with "Do you have a yoga practice" then "What does that include at the moment for you?".
Your practice will grow with you over time, shift and deepen and consistently offer you the chance to experience yoga, even if the precise methods you use vary as the years pass.
"The spirit of viniyoga is starting from where one finds oneself. As everybody is different and changes from time to time, there can be no common starting point, and ready made answers are useless. The present condition must be examined and the habitually established status must be re-examined."
– TKV Desikachar
All of this exciting news and discussion brings me back to this blog, and to you lovely reader. I have decided to end my Happy Tree Pose journey, so that I can focus on Home Sweet Yoga and pour my energy into growing this business and vision.
This will be my last blog post here.
Some of the content from here will move over the the HSY blog in the new year (I'm currently developing the full website, this current one is just the first iteration!) and when I do that, I will be redirecting happytreepose.com to my new blog.
I want to thank you for reading and supporting me over the past couple of years. Blogging has introduced me to so many fabulous people, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey Happy Tree Pose started me on! From law school to entrepreneurship, yoga and blogging have supported me the whole way through.
I do hope you'll join me on this next phase of the adventure, and feel free to get in touch – email@example.com – with any questions, support, just want to say hello etc!
You'll still find me on Twitter, Instagram and my brand new Facebook page too!
All the best, have a beautiful weekend and I'll see you over on the other site xxxx

Re-localizing food economies can—not necessarily, but can—help reduce our reliance on fossil fuel.
If there were ever a teachable moment about oil and fossil fuel addiction, that time is now.
Like fossil fuel, the amount of great Russian literature still underground has to be limited.
|fossil fuel
A hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from the accumulated remains of ancient plants and animals and used as fuel. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases generated by burning fossil fuels are considered to be one of the principal causes of global warming.

Wound Care Services
About five million Americans suffer from chronic wounds that won't heal. Often, these wounds won't heal due to a variety of factors such as age, diet, circulatory problems, diabetes, arthritis, kidney disease, and smoking. These wounds can become infected, requiring amputation in extreme cases, if not treated in a timely and effective manner. Wounds, due to their complex nature, require an individualized course of treatment to promote healing. We encourage the expertise and technology to support the needs of our patients.
Commonly treated wounds:
- Diabetic ulcers
- Lower leg ulcers
- Pressure ulcers (or bed sores)
- Bone infection
- Gangrene
- Skin tears or lacerations
- Radiation burns
- Post-operations wounds and infections
- Failed or compromised skin grafts
This service is offered at:
- Holy Family Medical Center - Des Plaines
- Resurrection Medical Center - Chicago

Asia Program
The Other Side of India: A Rights Record Overlooked
March 04, 2013 // 4:00pm — 5:15pm
Human Rights Watch's South Asia director discusses the human rights record of the world's largest democracy.
Taiwan and the U.S. Pivot to Asia: New Realities in the Region?
February 26, 2013 // 3:30pm — 5:30pm
As the United States rebalances its diplomatic and military focus toward Asia, some analysts have voiced concern about what a greater U.S. presence in the region might mean for cross-Strait relations. While ties between China and Taiwan have improved in recent years, will the U.S. pivot toward Asia shape the further evolution of cross-Strait relations? Will other Taiwanese interests be impacted by the rebalance? Could Chinese uneasiness about the rebalance work to Taiwan's detriment? From Washington's perspective, how does Taiwan fit into the pivot?
Protesting America: Democracy and the U.S.-Korea Alliance
February 21, 2013 // 3:30pm — 5:30pm
When the U.S.-Korea military alliance began to deteriorate in the 2000s, many commentators blamed "anti-Americanism" and nationalism, especially among younger South Koreans. Challenging these assumptions, Wellesley College professor and former Wilson Center scholar Katharine Moon argues in her latest book that Korean activism around U.S. relations owes more to transformations in domestic politics, including the decentralization of government, the diversification and politics of civil society organizations, and the transnationalization of social movements.
China Goes Global: The Partial Power
February 19, 2013 // 2:00pm — 3:30pm
Most global citizens are well aware of the explosive growth of the Chinese economy. Indeed, China has famously become the "workshop of the world." Yet, while China watchers have shed much light on the country's internal dynamics--China's politics, its vast social changes, and its economic development--few have focused on how this increasingly powerful nation has become more active and assertive throughout the world. Check out the webcast here!
Media Briefing: PM Shinzo Abe's Washington Visit
February 19, 2013 // 12:00pm — 12:30pm
Wilson Center East Asia experts answer press questions about Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe's visit to Washington D.C. and meeting with President Obama.
Strengthening Responses to Climate Variability in South Asia
February 07, 2013 // 9:00am — 10:30am
Climate change and conflict can create a self-reinforcing feedback loop: Climate change exacerbates existing conflicts, while conflict makes adapting to climate change more difficult, said Janani Vivekananda of International Alert at the Wilson Center on February 7. She presented the results of nine case studies conducted in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal to find how communities are affected by and adapting to climate change in conflict-prone settings.
Redefining Japan-Korea Relations: Shinzo Abe, Park Geun-Hye, and Security in the Asia-Pacific Region
January 31, 2013 // 3:30pm — 5:00pm
With both Japan and Korea electing new leaderships last month, how Prime Minister Abe and President-Elect Park will be able to improve bilateral relations is under close scrutiny. While continued threats from North Korea and China's ever-growing military clout should bring the two countries closer together, ongoing territorial disputes and other issues still prove to be stumbling blocks in improving diplomatic ties. What are the challenges to relations between Japan and Korea in the longer-term? How will the U.S. pivot to Asia impact Tokyo and Seoul's respective roles in ensuring stability in the Asia-Pacific region?
China-Japan Dialogue: Beyond the Territorial Dispute
January 28, 2013 // 12:00pm — 1:30pm
Relations between China and Japan have been strained in recent years over the territorial dispute in the East China Sea. The rising tension between the two countries has significant political, economic, and security implications for the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. This event follows a day-long closed-door meeting among the panelists analyzing the origin and consequences of the dispute, and jointly exploring approaches to conflict resolution. In this public seminar, the panelists will present the major findings from the meeting and engage the audience in interactive discussion.
Book Launch--Eating Grass: The Making of the Pakistani Bomb
January 15, 2013 // 12:00pm — 1:30pm
The launch of an important new book on Pakistan's nuclear weapons program.
Staying Ahead of the Economic Curve: Taiwan and Its Rivals in East Asia and Beyond
December 13, 2012 // 3:30pm — 5:30pm
Nearly two decades have passed since the World Bank published its landmark East Asian Miracle, citing the economic success of the region based on productivity, strategic policies, and good governance. East Asia remains an economic powerhouse, but questions arise as to how economies like Taiwan can continue to grow amid intensifying global competition and sluggishness in the technology industry.

The prophet himselfJan 23, 2012 Prop Skin 4 comments
For all those that wanted a way to put The Prophet into their game I hereby present to you... Kane. The man himself. Like me I'm sure you'll have a little...
The End is a total conversion for Tiberium Wars. Additional factions, special powers and units. The End is the story of happenings within GDI, Nod and Scrin during the third tiberium war. The seemingly perfect GDI suffered a slur to their name when a rogue commando by the name of Onslaught went insane and killed countless civilians during a simple recon mission within America. Despite his dismissal and a rapid cover-up of the incident and following media coverage, Commander Onslaught was not out of their hair. He infiltrates and confronts the Nod prophet Kane. But instead of attempting to kill him Commander Onslaught demands control of a Nod army with which to gain revenge on GDI. Kane agrees and what followed was a bloody and unnecessary war between Commander Onslaught and his ex co-commander which rages across the whole planet. At the same time there is an unnoticed infiltration into the Scrin mothership, a genetically modified human who is unkillable.

My laptop has burned out and unfortunately I don't have a back up of my data anywhere. So sadly I wont be able to do any REAL work on my mod until I manage to retrieve the information from my old hard drive. Thank you all for your patience
I was actually very close to completing the animations for the Core Defender and will have to get back to it as soon as is humanly possible.
For all those that wanted a way to put The Prophet into their game I hereby present to you... Kane. The man himself. Like me I'm sure you'll have a little...
The GameObject and WeaponTemplate for the GDI Mastadon coded by me, Challanger-13
The art and xml files required for including wall building in Kane's Wrath. This includes working Scrin and Nod walls. The construction yards are all...
The GDI Mastadon with a modified specular map to give a much better house colour set. If used in a Tiberium Wars mod you will need the Kane's Wrath GDI...
This model pack and all rights to it are solely Madin's, the only changes made are the shaders and the specular map.
This is a compilation of 4 Kane's Wrath models that are renamed on every level to be used with Tiberium Wars MOD SDK.

That mod Dead?
No I'm getting to grips with 3D modelling now, I could never get 3DS Max to work and now it's up and running.
Update!!! :D nice info on the wrathed update!
After a few months, I expected a major update for this mod. But it's so depressing that Megumi has yet to release a latest update for WrathEd in order to bring the custom sounds/music into KW.

Want to feel like a gentleman? Toss on this Belstaff sweater. The luxury, look, and functionality of this piece are flawless. It works under anything. Layered or alone, this sweater is a hit and a GREAT gift for the holidays.
When men dress, they seek that little extra hop in their step. Confidence is king in regards to style. This Bestaff jacket is so masculine and will have you prepared for the winter. The freedom to layer underneath this bad boy, its sleek pockets, and 'go-to-hell' collar will have you looking like a G this winter. Pair them with these Michael Bastian for Randolph Engineering teardrop aviators and Tom Cruise would have a serious run for his money if they ever do a re-make of Top Gun.

Using a Bedpan
Learn if your loved one has any moving and/or positioning restrictions. Wash
your hands. Explain to your loved one what you plan to do. If the person is
continent, has control, but cannot get out of bed, or it is too hard to get out
of bed to use a toilet, a bedpan is used. You need a clean warm bedpan, gloves,
wipes, toilet paper and a changing pad or a bath towel. Put on gloves. On three,
place the person in the side lying position. Place a changing pad or towel on
the back side of the person so the top lies at the waist and the bottom lies at
the thighs. Leave some excess changing pad or towel, fan folded or rolled, near
the edge of the buttocks. On three, turn and roll the person over onto other
side. From the other side of the bed, pull the excess changing pad or towel
straight. Have the person lie on the back and place her or her knees up and feet
flat on the bed. Place your hand underneath the person's lower back and have the
bedpan ready to slide under. On three, have the person push his or her feet down
on the mattress, arching the back and pushing up the buttocks. Help the person
by lifting up on the lower back. Slide the bedpan under the buttocks making sure
the anus and urethra are centered over the bedpan.
Give the person privacy. If
the person can wipe him or herself, leave toilet paper. When you are called for,
come back. Have the person arch and raise the buttocks, then carefully slide out
the bedpan.
There is another approach if the person cannot lift up the buttocks.
On three, place the person on his or her side. Place the bedpan on the center of
the buttocks. On three, have the person lean back as you push down on the
bedpan, push the pan between the bed and the person.
Once the person is
completely on his or her back, make sure the bedpan is centered.
To remove the
used bedpan, securely hold the bedpan and carefully, on three, turn the person
on his or her side away from you. Remove the pan. If the person cannot clean him
or herself, keep or on three, turn the person on his or her side away from you.
Wipe the genital and buttock area from front to back with toilet paper. For each
wipe, use a new tissue. Once finished wiping, the changing pad or bath towel is
rolled up or fan folded near the edge of the buttocks. Turn and roll the person
over to the other side and remove changing pad or towel. Empty the bedpan in the
toilet, wash out the pan with a pitcher of water and disinfectant soap pouring
out the wash water into the toilet. Clean the bedpan with a disinfectant. Take
off the gloves and wash your hands. Before, during, and after giving care, take
the appropriate safety precautions, and make sure the person is safe and secure
from falling.

This tune has some serious roots-Pickler's childhood. Her mother left the family when Kellie was just 2, and her father spent time in and out of prison when she was young. "Everyone has their story of where they came from," she says. "And I had to grow up really fast. So the song, to me, is about being mentally and emotionally tough." The single-off Pickler's latest album, 100 Proof-"has a backwoods country feel," she says. "It's got banjo. Fiddles. Steel guitar. I love it."
DOWNLOAD: "Goodbyes Made You Mine"
Hodges's single is about letting go of old hurts to savor new love. "It's like saying to that special someone, 'Whatever happened in the past, don't bring that into this relationship. Realize that this is going to work.'"
DOWNLOAD: "Austin"
This cover of a Jon Randall tune is "a love song to Austin," says Green. "It's paying a little homage to a place, like Sinatra's 'New York, New York.' And it's got some Austin funky on it-the music just sounds happy."
DOWNLOAD: "Dirt"
The "laid-back" title track to Brody's new album is an ode to-you guessed it-dirt. "Dirt's a huge part of living, especially if you're from the country," says the Canada native. "We work in it. We play in it. What's more country than dirt?"
DOWNLOAD: "Faith When I Fall"
The "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" singer wrote this song the day he scored his record deal. "It was just a moment of gratitude for allowing me to have faith in myself after all the years of getting kicked in the teeth," he says. "It's about having the faith and strength to keep going."
DOWNLOAD: "Love the Way You Miss Me"
The American Idol finalist took two years to release his debut CD ("It's my first impression; I didn't want to blow it," he says), and this song reflects the time he spent away from loved ones while on tour. "It's all about having a person do something to give you a little piece of home."
DOWNLOAD: "Too Good to Be True"
The trio of Cherrill Green, Hannah Blaylock and Dean Berner from Arkansas offers up a song "about a guy who you think he's Mr. Perfect, then realize he's just too good to be true," says Green. "It's a girl-power song."
DOWNLOAD: "Did It for the Girl"
The title says it all: "As soon as one girl comes along who we think is worthy, we change everything about us," says Bates of his debut single. "Guys say that we'd never do that, but we do it every time. It was such a universal idea."
DOWNLOAD: "Why Ya Wanna"
The One Tree Hill actress leaps from TV to the Nashville scene with her debut album. This song-her lead single-"is about a relationship that didn't work out, but you still have feelings for the person," she says. "It's so relatable. The first time I heard it, I started crying."

Geographic Range
Aix sponsa is found on the east coast of North America from Nova Scotia in the north, to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico in the south, and west to the center of the United States. Birds in the eastern part of the range migrate southeast in the winter. Wood ducks are also found from British Columbia to the Mexican border on the west coast. They spend the winter in southern California and the Mexican Pacific coast. Wood ducks in the southern part of the range do not migrate. ("Wood Duck, Aix sponsa", 2000; "Wood Duck (Aix sponsa)", 1999)
Wood ducks occupy a wide variety of habitats including woodland areas along lakes, rivers, creeks, beaver and farm ponds and various other freshwater vegetated wetland areas. Because wood ducks are cavity nesters, the availability of nesting sites within one mile of water is necessary. Winter habitats are the same as those used during breeding. (Hepp and Bellrose, 1995; "Wood Duck, Aix sponsa", 2000; "Wood Duck (Aix sponsa)", 1999)

Physical Description
Wood ducks are small to medium sized birds. Both male and female adults have a crest on their head, a rectangular shaped tail, white bellies and white lines on the back of the wings. Males are 48 to 54 cm long, while females are 47 to 51 cm long. Their wingspans are 70 to 73 cm long and they weigh between 500 and 700 g. The sexes are dimorphic. The males' heads are iridescent green, blue and purple and have two white lines that are parallel and run from the base of the bill and behind the eye to the back of the head. Male wood ducks also have red eyes, red at the base of the bill, rust-colored chests, bronze sides and black backs and tails. The females are brownish to gray and have white eye rings, white throats and gray chests. Juvenile wood ducks resemble adult females. Wood ducks are sometimes mistaken for American widgeons (Anas americana) when flying because the white lines that wood ducks have at the back of their wings are not visible. Also female wood ducks are mistaken for female Mandarin ducks (Aix galericulata). The difference lies in the Mandarin duck's lighter gray head and less distinctive eye patch. (Hepp and Bellrose, 1995; "Wood Duck, Aix sponsa", 2000)

Aix sponsa shows courtship behaviors in the fall and again in the spring. Male wood ducks are serially monogamous (they stay with one female for one breeding season but mate with a different female the next year). Males use their colorful plumage to attract females. Females use a loud penetrating call to attract males. Wood ducks have several courtship displays, such as the wing-and-tail-flash and mutual preening. During the wing-and-tail-flash male wood ducks raise their wings and tails rapidly, showing their broadsides to the female. Mutual preening involves both sexes nibbling at the head and neck of their mate. After mating, the males migrate to a separate location to molt. (Ehrlich, et al., 1988; Hepp and Bellrose, 1995)
- Mating System
- monogamous
Aix sponsa breeds in February and early March in the south and mid-March to mid April in the northern areas. In southern areas it is common for wood ducks to produce two broods in one breeding season. Copulation occurs in the water, the male mounts the female from behind and grabs her nape with his bill. Nests are built in cavities and are lined with wood chips and down. Females lay 6 to 15 eggs. It is not uncommon for a nest to have more than 15 eggs because at times other females will lay their eggs in the nests (a behavior called egg-dumping). Eggs are incubated for about 30 days and the chicks leave the nest within 24 hours of hatching. Chicks reach independence in 56 to 70 days and reach sexual maturity in one year. (Ehrlich, et al., 1988; Hepp and Bellrose, 1995; "Wood Duck, Aix sponsa", 2000)

Female wood ducks incubate their eggs for approximately 30 days. Ducklings hatch 6 to 18 hours after the first crack appears in their shells. They are precocial and leave the nest within 24 hours of hatching (the mother calls the ducklings out of the nest). The female makes sure that there are no predators in the area before the ducklings leave the nest. Once out of the nest, the ducklings scatter in search of food. The chicks become independent from their mothers after 56 to 70 days of care. Males do not care for the young. (Hepp and Bellrose, 1995; "Wood Duck, Aix sponsa", 2000)

The average lifespan of A. sponsa is three or four years. The maximum recorded lifespan in the wild is roughly 15 years. Within the first two weeks after hatching 86 to 90% of the chicks die. One cause of mortality is predation. Hunting also accounts for some mortality, however, hunting pressures are not enough to endanger the species. ("Wood Duck", 2002; Hepp and Bellrose, 1995)

Aix sponsa moves around by walking, flying and swimming. Wood ducks are diurnal and with the exception of females with ducklings, they sleep on the water. They are social animals and often congregate in the evening and migrate in pairs or small flocks. Although they are not territorial, their defense mechanisms to protect mates include chasing, pecking and hitting. Battles are often short. To threaten another bird, they jerk and jab their beaks. It is assumed that males are dominant over females, and adults are dominant over young birds. (Hepp and Bellrose, 1995; "Wood Duck, Aix sponsa", 2000; "Wood Duck (Aix sponsa)", 1999)

Home Range
We do not have information on home range for this species at this time.
Communication and Perception
Adult wood ducks have 12 calls, ducklings have 5. Most adult calls are used as warning calls and to attract mates. Both males and females have pre-flight calls. Females have calls that they use to locate their mate and to call their ducklings. Ducklings, who produce calls 2 to 3 days after hatching, have alarm, contact and threatening calls. By three months of age ducklings begin making some adult calls.
Wood ducks also have several courtship displays, such as the wing-and-tail-flash and mutual preening. In addition, they will display during agonistic interactions. (Hepp and Bellrose, 1995)
Food Habits
Wood ducks are omnivores. They feed on nuts, fruits, aquatic plants and seeds, aquatic insects and other invertebrates. The majority of their food includes acorns, hickory nuts, maple seeds, smart weeds, Diptera (true flies), Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), Hemiptera (true bugs), Coleoptera (beetles), Isopoda (pillbugs and sowbugs), Decapoda (shrimp, crabs, and relatives), Trichoptera (caddisflies), Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, and ants), Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies), and Gastropoda (gastropods, slugs, snails). (Ehrlich, et al., 1988; Hepp and Bellrose, 1995; "Wood Duck (Aix sponsa)", 1999)
- Primary Diet
- omnivore
- Animal Foods
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
- mollusks
- Plant Foods
- seeds, grains, and nuts
- fruit
The most common predators of A.sponsa are great horned owls (Bubo virginianus), mink (Genus Mustela), raccoons (Procyon lotor), red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) and black rat snakes (Pantherophis obsoletus). Female wood ducks have an alarm call that alerts the ducklings of the presence of a predator. The ducklings will search for cover in the water while the mother swims away from them or feigns a broken wing to protect them.
Within the first two weeks of hatching, 86 to 90 percent of the chicks die. A main cause of mortality is predation. (Hepp and Bellrose, 1995)
- Known Predators
- great horned owl (Bubo virginianus)
- American mink (Neovison vison)
- raccoons (Procyon lotor)
- red foxes (Vulpes vulpes)
- gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)
- alligators (Alligator mississippiensis)
- black rat snakes (Pantherophis obsoletus)
Ecosystem Roles
Wood ducks sometimes occupy hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus) nests and when hooded merganser eggs are left in the nests, wood ducks incubate the merganser eggs as well as their own. This occurs more frequently early in the season. Wood ducks are also important prey for their predators and act as predators themselves. (Hepp and Bellrose, 1995)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Humans hunt A. sponsa and eat their meat and eggs. Because they have such colorful plumage, their feathers are sometimes used to make artificial lures for fishing. Wood ducks are also sought out by many bird watchers. (Ehrlich, et al., 1988; Ray, 2002)
- Positive Impacts
- food
- body parts are source of valuable material
- ecotourism
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse affects of A. sponsa on humans.
Conservation Status
As a result of hunting and habitat destruction A. sponsa was near extinction in the early nineteen hundreds. Today, despite the fact that they are hunted, their population is thriving. Hunting laws have been put into place to protect them and man-made nest boxes are being created to counter their loss of habitat. Man-made nests are placed at least 600 feet apart in secluded areas where nests would occur naturally. They are made of wood, leaves and other material.
Wood ducks are protected by the US Migratory Bird Treaty Act. ("Wood Duck", 2002; Ehrlich, et al., 1988; Ray, 2002)
