The Big Bang Theory! Not a movie but worth watching and this picture is fucking hot!!
The Big Bang Theory - most people say it's Sheldon that draws them to this show, but for me, it's the comedic timing between all of the primary cast members. Also, their ability to make science funny.
Big Bang Theory - only funny thing on TV

Product description
Happily retired in the village of Three Pines, Armand Gamache, former Chief Inspector of Homicide with the Surete du Quebec, has found a peace he'd only imagined possible. On warm summer mornings he sits on a bench holding a small book, " The Balm in Gilead, " in his large hands. "There is a balm in Gilead," his neighbor Clara Morrow reads from the dust jacket, "to make the wounded whole."While Gamache doesn't talk about his wounds and his balm, Clara tells him about hers. Peter, her artist husband, has failed to come home. Failed to show up as promised on the first anniversary of their separation. She wants Gamache's help to find him. Having finally found sanctuary, Gamache feels a near revulsion at the thought of leaving Three Pines. "There's power enough in Heaven," he finishes the quote as he contemplates the quiet village, "to cure a sin-sick soul." And then he gets up. And joins her.Together with his former second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and Myrna Landers, they journey deeper and deeper into Quebec. And deeper and deeper into the soul of Peter Morrow. A man so desperate to recapture his fame as an artist, he would sell that soul. And may have. The journey takes them further and further from Three Pines, to the very mouth of the great St. Lawrence river. To an area so desolate, so damned, the first mariners called it The land God gave to Cain. And there they discover the terrible damage done by a sin-sick soul."

Topic: Planting, Seasonal Tasks, Transplants, Trees
Title: Timing for transplanting a yaupon in Louisiana
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I found a female yaupon growing wild at the back of my property and would like to move it to the front. When should I do this?
Now is good. Woody plants like Ilex vomitoria (yaupon) are semi-dormant in cooler weather, and thus less likely to be harmed by damage to the root or trunk. However, for best results, some care should be taken to preserve as much of the root as possible, and to prepare a spot for it before you start digging up the plant. Fortunately, the yaupon will tolerate a lot of different soils, is drought resistant but also can stand damp soil. It can take part shade, but will be denser and have more berries if it gets more than a half day of sun.
So, first, choose the spot you are going to put the shrub. Then, dig out a pretty good-sized hole, bigger than you are planning for the rootball. Mix the dirt from the hole with compost or other organic material, which will add nutrients to the dirt and make drainage better, and in turn will help make trace minerals beneficial to the plant available to the roots. Two or three days before you are planning to do the transplant, water the shrub deeply, to give the roots a chance to fill up and have some reserves. When you are ready to take the shrub out, bring as big a rootball as you can handle with it, digging around in a circle to establish the rootball size, and then getting a shovel under it to lever it out. Don't let it dry out! That is why you prepared a hole earlier; so the yaupon wouldn't have to wait, with roots drying, while the destination hole was dug. Put the roots into the new hole in such a way as to have the soil surface on the rootball at the same level as the surrounding ground. While someone holds the shrub in the proper, upright position, shovel in your amended dirt around it, not heaping it up higher on the trunk that it was before. Don't tamp the dirt down, you want air and water to be able to move freely through the soil. If it doesn't want to stand up on its own, you may need to stake it for a few months-you don't want a leaning yaupon. Now, stick a hose down into the dirt around the rootball, and let it dribble very slowly until water appears on the surface. If the soil settles some, you can add some more of your amended dirt to keep the surface level the same.
In the winter, you probably won't need to water it more than once every few days, if you're not getting regular rainfall, but water deeply and slowly as you did when you planted it. If some of the upper leaves begin to show signs of damage, browning or dropping off, it may be suffering from transplant shock, in spite of your best efforts. Trim off about the upper 1/4 of the growth on the plant, and keep an eye on it. The yaupon is a tough, adaptable, native plant and should be just fine.

Additional Notes
Complaint: I have ordered several products from this company and they have it set on autoship. I had went in and cancelled the autoship so that nothing would be sent in June and the next one was scheduled to come out july 6, however I received a shipment in the mail today. I call the company and requested a refund and they said all they could refund me was 90 % of the price. I understand if I marked the wrong product and that was shipped to only get 90% back but I did not want any shipment this month so therefore dont feel I should pay for any part of it. I had a autoship and so did my husband and I went in on same day and cancelled both and on my end it showed both would ship on July 6, they shipped anyway and now are claiming I didnt cancel it.
Desired Settlement: I want a full refund of price paid and they can have merchandise back. I dont want to be penalized any for a shipment I had cancelled and did not want.
Business Response: We have attempted to contact the consumer by phone/email numerous times to address her concerns with no response. Although our computer records clearly show that the consumer did not, in fact, cancel her order and that she refused a 100% refund, in an attempt to help the consumer, we have made an exception to our policy and sent a prepaid shipping label to her email address on file. Once we have received the returned product in resaleable condition, a refund will be processed.
Business Response: Notwithstanding the irrefutable computer evidence including screenshots and consumers documented changes to her and her husband's accounts showing that consumer failed to change her product Autoship to July 5 (which she did for her husband's account), but instead changed hers to June 1, our Company has gone above and beyond our refund policy to offer her both a 100% refund and have already sent her a prepaid shipping label to return the product at no cost to her. We have received confirmation that consumer has filed a charge back with her bank, which prohibits our Company from being able to refund the consumer. Should consumer desire a refund, she will need to cancel the charge back with her bank allowing our Company to proceed with a refund. In the event that the charge back remains, we have no choice but to follow charge back procedures per her bank's instructions. However, in no circumstance will a refund be processed until the product is returned using the prepaid shipping label. This is standard procedure followed by all reputable companies. Holding our product hostage until a refund is finalized is neither professional or warranted especially since our Company has demonstrated an exceptional amount of understanding towards her requests. We look forward to reaching a resolution to the matter, but one cannot be reached in the manner in which the consumer proceeds.

Complaint: In January I signed up for Zija. Initially I did not receive all of my product in my starter-kit. I called to inform Zija that I didn't get all of my SuperMix and they offered to send it out or else I could return my kit. I decided that I didn't want to participate in Zija due to issues I had with the person who signed me up not helping me figure out the business and not receiving all of my products. I mailed my kit back for a refund (I was within my 30 day guarantee)and was told that I would be refunded my money. Once my kit was received I spoke with *** at Customer Service. I requested that I get my money back via check or into a different bank account because the debit card that I used to sign-up with was no longer an acceptable way to refund my money. After I signed up with Zija, my wallet was stolen and a bunch of checks and debit card transactions were used. As a result of the investigation I was told by the bank and police not to use that account until the investigation was complete. I was told by *** that the ONLY way I could receive my money back was into THAT bank account. I requested multiple times that I be issued a check or some other form of refund. I was repeatedly told that the only way they could refund me was to the exact same card that was used. Instead of giving me my $330 back, they re-mailed me the same kit that I spent $17 mailing back to them. I have the un-opened starter kit and want it exchanged for my money back that I was promised. It still can't be put back in the original bank account due to prosecution of the person who stole my wallet. However, I feel that as a company they can issue me a check or put the money into my new account. At this point I don't care how I get my money back, I just want nothing to do with this company. They have been the absolute worst to work with. They offer the "guarantee" but make it impossible to get rid of the product and disassociate with the business.
Desired Settlement: I want my $330 refunded to me via check. If a check isn't possible I can provide my account and routing number to my US Bank account. I will gladly return my unopened starter kit to them. I, however, do feel that Zija is responsible for paying for the shipment back to them since I already paid $17 the first time I sent it back to them--just to have them return it to me a week later.
Business Response: The consumer has been contacted, and the matter has been resolved.
Business Response: A check in the amount paid by the consumer has been sent by mail to her last known address. The remainder of the refund was credited back to the consumer's sponsor who paid for the other half of the order. Consumer has failed to respond to our numerous attempts to contact her by phone and email to resolve the matter from its initiation. We consider the matter resolved.

Complaint: I would like to express my disappointment, not so much in your product as in your customer service. I liked everything I read & learned about you, and tried your XM burn & was encouraged to try the XM+ Energy Mix along with it. After taking both for a few days, I continued to feel worse. Then with the process of elimination I realized it was the XM energy causing me discomfort. I tried to go online to cancel, but had trouble logging in, and subsequently forgot to finish that. With several deaths, funerals and a cross country trip, I forgot to call and cancel the next shipment, so I had two completely untouched cases of XM+ Energy Mix for $99 each, one in my possession and one on the way. When I called about this on May 13th, the day I got the email that a new shipment was coming, I spent over an hour on the phone trying to stop the next shipment. I was treated rudely and made to feel like an idiot. I was asked to talk to your registered nurse who made me feel even worse. Are you sensitive to caffeine? Didnt you read the box? I did read the box. I generally am not THAT sensitive. I only try not to drink coffee of Coke after 8 PM or I might have trouble sleeping. Its not that I break into a sweat with a rapid heartbeat accompanied by nausea like your product caused. Throughout my conversations with your staff I was continually reminded that even if I managed, as stupid as I was, to get this shipped back with a tracking number, which I did, and I have delivery confirmation that you have received it, I would have a 10% restocking fee for my stupidity, and also have the freight charges deducted. I dont think I should have either, & definitely not both! I kept the & paid for XM burn, both boxes are completely untouched, sealed with the original tape, I paid to ship them back in good condition, so the 10% should not be deducted. I spent an hour with you staff being ridiculed, getting my auto shipments stopped and an RGA #.
Desired Settlement: To date I have received no credit. I would like full credit for the returned merchandise and not get a 10% discount, as it was 100% fine, and to not be charged back for the shipping as I kept some of each shipment.
Business Response: We have reached a mutually beneficial agreement which should satisfy the consumer.

Complaint: Bought product from independent distributor for Zija International per hard sell (our fault). Did research on product. Found numerous contradictions then what ID's stated. Not just moringa oleifera in part but in whole. There are numerous side effects, some resulting in hospitalization. Should not be taken with certain perscription drugs. Although each of the previous stated is unjustifiable in not being told to potential clients, the most heinous being pregnant women could miscarriage by taking product. Oils shouldn't be taken internally until research is more definitive. When ID's were questioned on this, either 1) Zija does'nt use the the bark or roots of the tree (most common answer), 2) They said the scientist at Zija say's it's safe (right up there with first answer), 3) They did not care (was obvious to tell), 4) Are selling without proper information from the company to give clients. At a meeting where supposedly the people speaking were knowledgeable about the product, they were unwilling to listen to any negative questions being asked. Sources: Personal interaction, Washington University School of Medicine, WebMD, Med India, Sharecare.com, ehealthme.com, local hospitals and wifes own physicians. I am not writing this to discourage anyone from taking this product. But I am telling you to do your own research before you buy into this.
Desired Settlement: We would like a full refund on our entire purchase of unused and used products ( items due to sample giving) and reimbursement of our shipping cost back to company. Would also like company to be more transparent with their product.
Business Response: A resolution has been reached with the consumer.

Complaint: I used to order regularly from this company. I have not ordered in at least a year and a half. My credit card info was out of date and they some how managed, through self help, to update my info so they could charge on my account. The person I order through 100% did not update my credit card info. A charge went through because of the unauthorized update. I called as soon as the charge was made and customer service opened, approximately 0730 Utah time. I informed them that my address was incorrect, I had moved 18 months ago and she did not ask for my new address although the shipment had not left, and I did not authorize the updating of my card and had not furnished anyone the information to update my card. I was told I would receive a 90% return due to shipping. I was not happy but it was better than nothing. Over 8 hours later I received the shipping notification and a couple hours after that the return posted in the amount of $53.10, the original charge was $63.95. I called again. I was told that the return policy is 90% minus shipping and he also confirmed that the order was shipped several hours after I called. I was upset as I should have received a complete refund had they stopped the shipment. I also complained, again, about them updating my card info without getting any information from me in order to do so. I was told they were going to look into my claims, listen to the tape of my first phone call and get back to me in the morning. It is now evening and I haven't heard anything. As far as I'm concerned they owe me another $10.85 and I want my information erased from their records. My card info should not have been updated without my knowledge and the order shouldn't have shipped once I canceled the order, especially several hours later.
Desired Settlement: I want a total refund of the amount charged and I want all my information erased from their records so they don't "accidentally" charge me again. They charged me, minus the refund, $10.85 for their mistakes. Their customer service is atrocious.
Business Response: We have contacted the consumer and addressed all matters.

Complaint: Strong arm tactics with elderly. Operating Sales force in Rolla, Missouri without business license. Representing as medical professionals. Strong arm tactics with elderly. In Rolla, Missouri ***** **** ******** is selling zija product to elderly using strong arm tactics and does not have a business license to do business in Rolla, MO.
Desired Settlement: Filed on behalf of my 77 year old Mother. My mother paid $1500 for the zija product package, included items not desired and her refund request was rejected by Zija sales mgr ***** **** ********. A nurse came to my mother's house and seemed to be prescribing the zija product. Upon family review of the zija products, we immediately became concerned. Products were high in caffiene and my mother is in final stages of COPD and on oxygen continually. Her health has degradated since. My ill, elderly mother did not understand she was agreeing to be a sales rep (MLM scam). They continue to send her product and she is refusing delivery. ***** **** ******** came to my mother's home and took product from my mother that my mother had paid for and did not credit or replace the product. ***** **** ******** was verbally abusive to my mother and provided the excuse it had been over 90 days, so no refund. Upon contacting the local authorities, the Missouri BBB advised I file with the Utah BBB. We are concerned other elderly citizens in the Rolla, MO are being exploited by ***** **** ******** strong arm and deceptive sales approach.

Complaint: Unauthorized charge. In June 2014 I ordered a complete Sport Pack for $220.00. Today I received another delivery of the Sport Pack in which my cc was charged $211.00. My complaint is not with the product but is with the unauthorized use of my cc. I did not and will not order from Ziga again. When speaking to cust service they stated they could only refund me 90% plus shipping totalling $180.00. This is absurd and wrongful.
Desired Settlement: Complete refund to my cc of the total amt charged.

Complaint: I never asked for autoship an when I tried to send back my order, they will only credit me $180 out of $211.00. They say it's a restock fee. I don't feel I should pay a restocking fee for something I never ordered. I have tried the best way i know how to resolve this issue. I called and spoke to a call center rep, and a supervisor. I was kind and gave my point of view. They refuse to give a full refund. They say it is policy to charge and I am shocked they would upset a customer over $40. this company clearly doesn't care about customer service or satisfaction. I called their corporate office and asked for the VP of sales ***** *******. They refused to put him on the phone and ***** had one of his call center supervisors call me with the same song/dance. I explained to the Supervisor that the product was unopened but they refuse to refund the remaining $30 plus return shipping. This seems crazy to me that I actually like the product and would buy it again. I even considered becoming a salesperson. But I would not consider either now. And they did angered me enough to write this for $30. ***** needs to empower his staff to be able to bend policy when it makes sense. A customer who has called 5X's about this should "make sense" since my persistence to be treated fairly is costing your staff time=money.
Desired Settlement: I would like a full refund of the cost of the product plus return shipping. the cost was $211. A refund of $180 has already been processed. A total of $42 would suffice. which would be the $30 still owed plus return shipping.

Complaint: The company placed an order without my consent and authorization. My credit card information was saved without my consent. I placed a previous order on 8-23-14 and their website had a box to check and save credit card information. I did not check the box to save this information. On 8-26-14 I received an email from Zija thanking me for my automatic order for invoice # XXXXXXXX. I did not place another order and was surprised to see they somehow saved my credit card information and placed the order.
Desired Settlement: I only want refunded the money taken from my account. They should not be allowed to save credit card information when the box is not checked.

Complaint: The product was marketed and sold in a huge quantity to obviously confused senior citizens (my parents) with the comfort of 360 day return policy with hopes of improved health my mom reluctantly spent $3200 on products that she was confused about simply due to the assurance that she had 1 year to receive 90% of her money back if she had no success; the salesperson as well as customer service does not dispute that the 360 day return policy was in effect and was explained to her at the time of her purchase. she is not computer savvy and only knows of the information given to her at the time of the sale; I was able to get into her online account today to obtain some information that she was never able to obtain; she has tried repeatedly to return the product and get her 90% refund and the sales person and the company has given her the run around; i called the company on a conference call today and was able to get a promise to refund a portion of her and her husband's order leaving her with a huge amount of money lost; ***** with Customer service stated that the salesperson ***** accepted the return policy of 360 days in Nov 2013 on ******'s behalf, but that the policy changed in February 2014 and no longer allows a 360 day return period
Desired Settlement: I am requesting the company to honor the agreement that my mother and step dad agreed to upon purchase in November 2013 which is 90% of the cost of any unopened product returned within the 1 year time period; customer order information ****** ****** Distributor ID #XXXXXXX ******* ***** Distributor ID #XXXXXXX mailing address XXXXX **** **** ******* ** XXXXX (XXX) XXX-XXXX

Subsequently, I was charged for September, October, and November without receiving any product. I finally had to pay my bank to block all charges from Zija.

Complaint: I received product that I did NOT order. They expect me to pay to have the product shipped back to them when I DID NOT ORDER IT! August placed an order for 1 month Zija to try. NO autoship agreed to or even discussed. I made it clear I only wanted to try it. Did not like it and did not have any further contact. December I got a box in the mail which I just assumed must be a free sample since I hadn't ordered anything. When I opened pack. it was another month of Zija and $108 charged to my card. Called Zija on the phone and they gave me the run around said they would refund the price MINUS 10% and I would have to pay shipping charges. I refused. They said they would have to research and would call me back in 24-48 hours. At 48 hours I called back and they told me they would call in 72 hours. 21 days later I received a call that they would grant me the full refund but I would still have to pay the shipping charge to have the product shipped back. I DID NOT ORDER ANY PRODUCT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO SHIP IT BACK. IT WAS THEIR MISTAKE NOT MINE!!!!!!
Desired Settlement: They need to reimburse my credit card for the full amount they incorrectly charged me for and either send me a postage paid return label or pay me in some way to ship this product back to them. I didn't order it and shouldn't have to be out money to return it to them.

Twitter Reax To Brady Decision NFL, Brady Settlement Talks Failed Wis. Assembly Approves Bucks Bill Goodell Upholds Brady Suspension Packers Unveils Alternate Uniform Michigan Ditches Legends Jersey Program Sanders, Avril Endorsing CenturyLink Gold Cup Sees 6% Attendance Jump From '13 Paolantonio Clarifies Bisciotti Comments Iger Talks ESPN Going Straight To Consumer

Prosecution and defense lawyers are "expected to make closing arguments today in the years-long battle between the NCAA and former 'restricted earnings' coaches," according to Steve Rock of the K.C. STAR. They will then "hand the case over to the jury, which will determine how much money the NCAA owes in damages." The suit was filed in '93 over whether an NCAA restricted-earnings rule, which limited the salaries of lower-end coaches to $16,000-a-year, was legal. A U.S. District Judge ruled in '95 that the rule was a violation of antitrust laws and that "set the stage for the damage phase." The plaintiffs argue the NCAA owes more than 1,900 coaches $30M, while the NCAA's defense attorneys "have argued it owes fewer than 60 coaches less than $900,000." Under federal laws, all damage amounts awarded by the jury will be tripled, which could bring the plaintiffs' damages close to $100M. Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen: "That would be very injurious to every NCAA program" (K.C. STAR, 4/28)

You're dreaming. The "Centrist/RW press" will be working overtime to convince Lib'rul Democrats and Independents to stay at home or vote for Jebya. Jebya has the cash and support of the power elite. How can you call HRC a Corporatist when the Wall Street Crime Syndicate is only supporting their own? You're listening to the Corporatist at Faux Noise and Karl Rove. There are far more Registered Democrats and Independents than Republican voters. So, either there are a lot staying home and not voting because being convinced to not to vote is a good thing, or there are an awful lot of folks who just don't care and are happy with the way things are.

Except that it makes sense that McDonald's is able to count how many hamburgers they serve. They can check receipt records. But there is no way that Microsoft can monitor every single Halo 3 game.
I haven't played Halo 3, but according to the Halo 3 Wikipedia article [wikipedia.org], Halo 3 supports multiplayer via split screen or LAN, just like Halo 1 and 2. Assuming this is true, and I see no reason to believe otherwise, it would be impossible for MS to monitor every single game.
So that's about as many man hours as it would take to build every skyscraper in the world.
One is tempeted to snark something like "what a waste of manpower" but chances are those folks would not be puting that lost time to productive use but instead idle hands would find the devils work. So perhaps another way to say this is that something like a billion petty crimes were prevented.
Isn't that how long most Halo players last in the presence of a woman?
Perhaps. Luckily such a scenario will never occur.
Yeah, but you are including the three minutes required to put the condom on properly.
...said the man posting on
You know, I keep seeing this post everywhere about this topic. Yes it could've been better spent elsewhere, but so could all those hours lost to the internet and crapping.
What could have been done instead in 64,000 man hours of focused attention ? I bet Slashdot has an even greater negative effect on our nation's productivity.
Watched 64,000 hours of spongebob? Seriously, consider the population that plays this.

Teenager Ngog joins Liverpool
Thursday 24 July 2008
Liverpool have signed highly-rated teenage striker David Ngog from Paris St Germain.
The 19-year-old has repeatedly been linked to the Reds in recent weeks and has signed a four-year contract with the Barclays Premier League club.
He will go straight into the Merseysiders' first-team squad, joining fellow summer arrivals Andrea Dossena, Diego Cavalieri and Philipp Degen.
Ngog, who is the cousin of former Rangers and Newcastle defender Jean-Alain Boumsong, struggled in an under-performing Paris St Germain team last season as the French club barely maintained their Ligue 1 status.
He scored just once in 18 appearances but has been far more effective at various levels for France.
The pacy forward has scored at every youth level for his country, including a brace against England Under-19s last season.
His exit from the Parc des Princes seemed inevitable from the moment he refused to sign a new contract with Paul le Guen's side as he entered the final year of his deal, and Liverpool soon stepped in with a bid thought to be around the £1.5million mark.
Ngog's arrival adds welcome reinforcement to manager Rafael Benitez's strikeforce following the departure of Peter Crouch for Portsmouth.

The very young are most susceptible to dino fever. In children, the symptoms are very clear: compulsive recitation of dinosaur names, a predilection for dinosaur motifs on every surface, a hyper-alert state anytime they 're near a fossil. In extreme cases, kids can reel off all the scientific inaccuracies in Jurassic Park. Fortunately, some kids never shake dino fever and they grow up to be palaeontologists.
Wayne Gerdtz curated two Melbourne Museum exhibitions that draw in lots of visitors: 600 Million Years: Victoria evolves and Dinosaur Walk. A chronic case himself, Wayne recalls a childhood filled with lurid dinosaur books. Since he grew up in remote country Victoria, his visits to the museum in Melbourne were infrequent and much anticipated. One prized souvenir from the 1970s exhibition Dinosaurs from China still hangs in his house. His palaeontological interests moved on to extinct mammals but dino fever still beats strongly in his heart.

Another trained palaeontologist, science educator Priscilla Gaff, thanks her Nana for fostering her interest in dinosaurs. From the age of 5 or 6, her Nana took her to the old museum every holidays. Cilla is still so afflicted by dino fever that she planned her upcoming overseas trip to include a visit to Mary Anning's old fossil-collecting grounds in Lyme Regis. (Anning herself hunted for fossils from a very young age and uncovered the first complete ichthyosaur skeleton when she was just 12, soon after her brother found the beast's skull.)

Now we seek the next generation of palaeontologists through the Junior Dino Expert Competition at Scienceworks. We are looking for children between the ages of 3–12 years of age who have a severe case of dino fever and a passion for sharing their dinosaur knowledge with others. Applicants need to submit an application form and a creative response that demonstrates their love of dinosaurs. This could be a video, piece of writing, slide show, collage or anything else.

Tyrannosaurs – Meet the Family at Scienceworks
John Satchell grew up with a colour photograph of a model steam train hanging on his bedroom wall. Not uncommon for small boys, perhaps, but John's train had a direct link to his ingenious ancestors. His train—a perfect, working scale replica of a shunting engine from 1857—was built by his great grandfather, also John, and painted by his great-great grandfather James Satchell. The model train itself, eventually donated to Museum Victoria in 1990, is now on display in The Melbourne Story.

John's father Tony hung the photo for his son and often told him the story of the train. "Dad's a genealogist, and he's researched both sides of the family. He just loves history," says John. "He's always made me more than aware that this train exists and took me to see it in the museum. I loved steam trains as a kid and still do."
With Tony's 80th birthday approaching at the end of March, John and his wife Danielle searched for a unique and meaningful gift for him. They thought of the 1868 photograph of the elder John and James Satchell with their magnificent model, and how they might replicate it with the youngest Satchell, their toddler James. Until young James was born, John explains, genealogist Tony was anxious that "the Satchell family name was running out."

The Satchells recruited a friend to photograph John and James next to the train's exhibition showcase, but the tricky lighting and reflections meant no success. Danielle wrote a letter to the museum asking if there was any way we could open the showcase so they could get a perfect shot. It was an irresistible opportunity to link six generations of Satchell men, so last week before the museum opened, exhibition and collection management staff brought out the train. MV photographer Jon Augier captured the historic moment.

The senior John and James both worked at Melbourne's first foundry, Langlands, originally established on Flinders lane. John was an apprentice there in the 1860s when he built the model, and his father James was a foreman. The model earned John a medal at the Intercolonial Exhibition of Victoria in 1866, and later, when he sold it, enough money to buy a block of land in Caulfield. The story is recorded in the Satchell family history written by Tony Satchell in 1988.
The surprise birthday gift is sure to delight this family historian. It might continue another family tradition, too. Says John of Tony, "he's brought up a couple of times that he thinks James should have a picture of the steam train in his bedroom. I've been saying 'oh yeah, that's a good idea' but leaving it at that because I don't want Dad to start thinking of getting a picture… it could ruin the surprise!"
Museum Victoria wishes Tony a very happy 80th birthday.

What do you know of the Vampire Squid? How about the Dragonfish, the Sea Mouse and the Fangtooth? These bizarre animals live kilometres – yes, kilometres – beneath the ocean's surface. We've brought them up to sea level for you to meet at the exhibition Deep Oceans, which opens this weekend at Scienceworks.

This exhibition comes to us from the Australian Museum and we've added some local characters to the mix. Parks Victoria tells us that nearly half of Port Phillip is less than eight metres deep, and its greatest depth is only 24 metres. It's just a puddle compared to the true deep oceans. This means we can see a huge diversity of our marine life just by heading out into the bay with a mask and snorkel.
Over the past months, Dr Julian Finn has filmed seals, fish, crabs and others in our local marine parks with a fish-eye lens. This footage will be projected inside the Underwater Backyard virtual aquarium dome, where you can stand right beside the bay's residents without getting wet.
Deep Oceans is at Scienceworks 25 October 2014 to 12 April 2015.
Children are sponges: if kids see and hear that invertebrates are fascinating, wonderful and complex, they are eager to appreciate them. Likewise, the next generation of spider-squashers is created when children are told only that bugs and spiders are disgusting, dangerous or scary. Naturally, when you get a roomful of invertebrate keepers from zoos and fauna parks in a room, they'll discuss how best to show kids that invertebrates are magnificent.

And so it was at the Invertebrate Keeper Training Workshop at Melbourne Museum last week. Presented by the Australasian Society of Zoo Keeping (ASZK) and run by Jessie, Chloe and Patrick from MV Live Exhibits, the workshop covered all kinds of techniques for keeping, breeding and displaying living invertebrates, and their educational value. When I dropped in, they were poised to begin a snail race—a contest of extreme athleticism where snails compete to reach the edge of a circular arena.
And they're off! Snails racing.Image: Patrick HonanSource: Museum Victoria
The purpose of the race was to show ways to get kids thinking about the biology of minibeasts. Jessie from Live Exhibits explained that in the time it took for the snails to slide over the finish line, you can discuss why they prefer to crawl over damp surfaces, why they don't like being blown upon, and other quirks of snail life. Jessie also described an excellent way to overcome insect fear in small children while holding large invertebrates like stick insects. "Ask them, can you see its eyes? Can you see the claws on its feet? And they come closer and closer without realising it."
The workshop also covered how to house, feed and breed invertebrates; how to collect them legally and ethically, and how to keep populations healthy. Participants also got a tour of the Live Exhibits back of house facilities where the museum's invertebrate colonies are kept, our Entomology collections, and a trip to Melbourne Zoo to see their Butterfly House. Invertebrate keepers talk about stuff you don't hear every day, like how to breed whip scorpions (it's tricky but not impossible), and what type of heating to use create a humid insect room (hydronic is best).
And the winner of the snail race? This tearaway Garden Snail streaked across the line not once, but twice, before most of the others had even left the centre ring. The Phar Lap of the snail world.

Many of us have precious heirlooms that escort our families through the decades, cherished by each generation in turn. Perhaps as a child you loved the treasures in the house of your grandparents and now you are the custodian of these objects, charged with keeping them safe for future descendants.
Few of us experience quite the scale of family collections as Will Twycross, who describes his childhood thus: "I grew up in a weatherboard house that contained European paintings, intricately carved ivory chess pieces, brilliantly coloured ceramics, and long Polynesian arrows that we were told were poison tipped and shouldn't be touched…. The paintings with their strange scenes and exotic colours hung on the walls, breathing the soft mists of Europe into the harsh sunlight of the suburbs."

Will Twycross is the great-grandson of Melbourne merchant and art collector John 'Top Hat' Twycross. The wonders of Will's childhood home were originally bought by John and his wife Charlotte 'Lizzie' Twycross at the 1880 and 1888 Melbourne International Exhibitions. There they acquired several hundred paintings, pieces of furniture and decorative items for their grand house in Caulfield. Through the years, the Twycross family cared for the collection until 2009, when they donated over 200 objects to Museum Victoria's Royal Exhibition Building Collection. "We decided to return it to the place it had come from," notes Will. "The decision seemed to have a certain symmetry to it."

Today marks ten years of World Heritage status for our beloved Royal Exhibition Building, and we're celebrating with the release of a book and accompanying website about the extraordinary Twycross Collection. In Visions of Colonial Grandeur, curator Dr Charlotte Smith has researched not just the Twycross legacy and the collection itself, but the impact of two international exhibitions – which were, at the time, the largest events held in Australia.
The Royal Exhibition Building is no longer surrounded by the temporary annexes that housed the grand courts of the Melbourne Exhibition Building, but it remains the only Great Hall of its era to survive in its original setting and the world's oldest continuously-operating exhibition hall. On 1 July 2004, the REB was the first Victorian site and the first Australian building to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It followed the 1980s listings of places of outstanding natural and cultural significance such as Kakadu National Park, the Tasmanian Wilderness and the Great Barrier Reef.

On Monday evening, perhaps just as you were eating dinner, a crew carefully unloaded an extraordinary object from World War I and placed it in the foyer of Melbourne Museum.
Download the WWI ambulance arrival video
This is a British-made Ambulance Wagon MK VI. It dates from 1914-18 and is on loan to us from the Australian War Memorial for our upcoming exhibition WWI: Love & Sorrow.
One hundred years ago, these horse-drawn ambulances transported wounded soldiers from the battlefield. Unarmoured and vulnerable, they often travelled by night to avoid becoming targets. The journey between trench and casualty clearing station could take many days over rough tracks—an agonising journey for men with terrible injuries.
WWI: Love & Sorrow marks the centenary of the start of World War I. It opens at Melbourne Museum on 30 August 2014.

It is as close to New York City street pizza as I have found in the south. We loved it! Downtown Ft. Myers is interesting now and wandering around you might find yourself in the mood to sit and have a slice or three. Or four.
My friend and I were in the mood for pizza and came upon the Downtown House of Pizza. It is a tiny little place but it did not disappoint! I had a slice of pepperoni & it was so good, I ordered another piece to take back to the condo for a midnight snack. Best pizza I have ever had. (Never been to New York but apparently it's NY style pizza)
Having grown up as a kid on the dtreets of New York, I am qualified to say that this is by far the best NY style pizza in SW Florida.
Several choices to choose from if you are looking for a quick slice or an entire pizza, lots of cheese and great crust. There is an outdoor patio to sit and enjoy it too!
Really good pizza. You can get it by the slice or a whole pie. Wish the seating was a little nicer inside.
If you own or manage Downtown House of Pizza, register now for free tools to enhance your listing, attract new reviews, and respond to reviewers.

Josh Koscheck was hoping to fight one more time in 2012, but it looks like he will be waiting until the New Year to return to action.
The former Ultimate Fighter season one competitor has been out of action since May when he lost a close, split decision to Johny Hendricks at UFC on Fox 3.
He was expected to return in September to face Jake Ellenberger at UFC 151, but an injury sidelined Koscheck and pushed him out of the fight.
Now that he's healthy again, Koscheck was hoping to get scheduled for a fight as soon as possible, but according to the fighter's latest message via Twitter, he's going to have to wait until 2013.
"Doesn't look like the UFC has a fight for me until 2013. So I'll just train and get better," Koscheck wrote on Tuesday.
When he does come back, there are a few names on his wish list for opponents, but Koscheck has never been too much in the business of hand picking who he will fight.
"I'd like to fight Nick (Diaz), Demian Maia, Jake Ellenberger, Rory MacDonald, any of those guys will do it," said Koscheck.
The former NCAA champion wrestler has even offered to venture back up to middleweight, something he's done multiple times in the past when talking about stepping up when the UFC needed him.
"They know I'll fight anyone," Koscheck wrote. "I even said I'd fight at 185 if needed."
It remains to be seen who Koscheck will face, but many of the names on his list would be available for fights in 2013 with the exception of Rory MacDonald who fights at UFC on Fox 5 on Dec. 5 against B.J. Penn.

Quarterback Competition For The Wisconsin Badgers
When Wisconsin starting quarterback Joel Stave broke his clavicle in Saturday's loss to Michigan State, head coach Bret Bielema knew the Badgers had suffered another setback on the offensive side of the ball.
Wisconsin has had injury problems all season. First with the offensive line, then Montee Ball was banged up with concussions, Jared Abbrederis missed some time and now they'll be without Stave for the rest of the season.
Now Bielema has to find a new starting quarterback. One good thing is he'll have some time to do it with their bye week. He'll have to decide between Danny O'Brien and Curt Phillips, who will compete in practice for the top job when the Badgers play Indiana on Nov. 10.
O'Brien hasn't been able to have the success Russell Wilson had last season and was pulled after starting the first three games this year. He's averaging just 87.2 pass yards per game with three touchdowns and one interception. Some may say O'Brien hasn't been put in positions to succeed, jumping in to the game during the late seconds against Nebraska and coming cold off the bench against a tough Michigan State defense.
Phillips could be the guy to lead Wisconsin to Indianapolis. He competed for the starting job in 2009 before three ACL tears that kept him out for some time. Despite the surgeries, Phillips is a more mobile runner and has been in the system for a while. Bielema has high praise for him and won't hesitate to give him the nod if he performs well in practice.
The Badgers have handled adversity all season, so now they'll have to do it again.
