Some value a big house and yard, while others cannot abide a city without a decent opera or good Thai food.
The massacre came to light when two of the cadavers were discovered in the yard of a house where she once lived.
Scotland yard has new leads on the missing child—and many point to a pedophile with alleged ties to a gypsy trafficking ring.
If he wants exercise, he will also be given an hour a day in the yard.
Scotland yard confirmed that they had arrested a 19-year-old male on November 26th on suspicion of criminal damage.
I will see if I cannot get into one of the upper rooms that looks towards the yard.
But when K., growing uneasy, came out into the yard, the engine had started at last.
On the yard of the farm where I had turned in there was not a soul to be seen.
Seeing the crowd, Wilson drove directly to the yard and parked his machine.
Ruddy's legs seemed to work on springs as he raced across the yard.
"ground around a house," Old English geard "enclosure, garden, court, house, yard," from Proto-Germanic *garda (cf. Old Norse garðr "enclosure, garden, yard;" Old Frisian garda, Dutch gaard, Old High German garto, German Garten "garden;" Gothic gards "house," garda "stall"), from PIE *gharto-, from root *gher- "to grasp, enclose" (cf. Old English gyrdan "to gird," Sanskrit ghra- "house," Albanian garth "hedge," Latin hortus "garden," Phrygian -gordum "town," Greek khortos "pasture," Old Irish gort "field," Breton garz "enclosure, garden," and second element in Latin cohors "enclosure, yard, company of soldiers, multitude").
Lithuanian gardas "pen, enclosure," Old Church Slavonic gradu "town, city," and Russian gorod, -grad "town, city" belong to this group, but linguists dispute whether they are independent developments or borrowings from Germanic.

Latin hasta "shaft, staff"). The nautical yardarm retains the original sense of "stick."
Originally in Anglo-Saxon times a land measure of roughly 5 meters (a length later called rod, pole, or perch). Modern measure of "three feet" is attested from late 14c. (earlier rough equivalent was the ell of 45 inches, and the verge). In Middle English, the word also was a euphemism for "penis" (cf. "Love's Labour's Lost," V.ii.676).

What are the Edanz policies on publication ethics?
As an associate member of COPE, Edanz supports the current industry standards in publication and research ethics. We practice this commitment through transparent and ethical services, as well as offering guidance to authors should an ethical issue arise with their manuscript.
Read more about the Edanz ethics policies here.
Do you edit references?
Yes, we can edit references, but only if you ask us to; it is not part of our normal editing service.
References will be edited for compliance with the correct format. Edanz editors will not rewrite the actual format between, for example, Harvard and Vancouver styles if the author has used the wrong one.
Reference library software makes this an easy job for the author. But, Edanz does not edit citations or references generated by reference management software such as EndNote or Mendeley because any changes would be overwritten if the citations or references are regenerated later.
We do:
- Insert, revise, delete comma, colons, semi-colons
- Change the volume number to bold
- Delete unnecessary spaces
- Reduce the author list and replace with "et al."
- Check that the reference style in text is correct
We don't:
- Change reference order from numerical to alphabetical or vice-versa
- Research and insert author names when they are missing
- Re-order authors to be alphabetical
- Check the existence, accuracy or validity of the citation
How do I place an order?
You can place an order by completing the online order form and uploading your file(s). If you experience difficulties completing the form, an email with your file(s) attached can be sent to global(at)edanzediting.com. If you need further guidance, call us at: +852-8127-7515

Do you guarantee publication of my research after editing?
The English language editing that Edanz's expert editors do will improve the chances of your manuscript being accepted for publication. However, we cannot "edit" the research content of your manuscript: this is something for peer reviewers to comment on. Therefore, while we cannot make any guarantees regarding the publication of your research, we can guarantee that we will get your manuscript into the best possible condition for submission to a journal for peer review.
How are your fees calculated?
Fee guides for the different services we offer can be found on our Fees page.
How do you ensure the security of my data?

Edanz secures its networks and communications with the latest encryption software and hardened operating systems. We employ the best tools available and our systems are monitored and audited to keep your data safe during every stage of its journey.
For more information see our Security and Privacy Policy.
Do I have to pay before or after editing?
After. An invoice will be issued after the 1st edit is sent to you.
Can I get a receipt?
Yes, Edanz can issue a receipt if you need one - just let us know by email after we have confirmed your payment. Please note that we can only issue a receipt for the exact amount of money we received.

Hola! Today is a big day in my new "Modo life" again. It's a pleasure to show you some new stuff that I have made with Modo. My first modo training case was a still image, so now it is obvious that we need to move ahead and make some movement.
This isn't character animation or nothing special with organic materials. It's more technical playing with "recoil" and "soft body" elements. Recoil plugin comes with Modo 601 version, so of course it must to check out. This work is more than playing with simulations, I also try to learn basic lightnings and rendering setups and they are big part of this job. There is also some network rendering problems and some findings about that.
Learning objectives
- Still learning Modo's workflow and UI
- Spline Effector with replicators
- Recoil and Soft Bodies
- Lightning
- Technical animation
- Rendering & Network Rendering
- Sounds (This is just for fun and not in modo)
Feelings about modo (Still)
I still want to say couple words about my feelings with Modo. It's great. That's two words :) Seriously it is.
First I thought where the heck is all particle tools that found in blender. How I can blow particles in to the air with wind or something. Yep, I don't find them but I understand how in Modo to made all those effects with much more control in this work. There is soft bodies that use all those "nature power tools", but particles isn't there yet (I can also be wrong with this section). I guess in Luxology they are going to make much of these kinf improvements on the next releases, particles, dynamics and etc.
Breakdown of the Silkkinen Shampoo Ad
At the beginning of…
I started to think about what to do next and decided that I wanna make some fictional TV ad. It's easy way to start with that because I have done TV-commercials before I started to do some 3D. I choose enough easy subject for the modeling because it isn't main part of this job at this time. So I chose shampoo bottle and simple leaf, that's it!
Of course you need to design your own shampoo label, so here it is. And there is also diffuse map for leaves. That's all texturing in this case, phew…
And if you check out those ingredients in label you can see some very weird compinations :)
Spline Effector and Replicators
This part was firstly very confused for me. There is differences between programs and how all things works. But after I realized the logic of these elements everything works fine.
I found good video about basic usage of spline effector, Spline Effector – Basics by Matt Cox. But in my case I found better solution with setting Curve to Spline Effector.
Motion Blur
Motion Blur can be tricky part in any case if you do not know what you're doing. There is strenghts and weaknesses in differents styles to make this nice effect to your image. Many says that "you got best result with rendering motion blur in 3D program". That could be true, but we lost much of control if we just render it to final image, because we can't adjust it anymore. Next problem with Motion Blur is compositing. If I had Nuke, compositing Motion Vector would be much easier. There is also good commercial plugin for After Effects called ReelSmart Motion Blur, that handle very well those Motion Vectors. But I do not have those so I need to choose rendering that Motion Blur to the image. If you know some good and cheaper way to get good results I am interested about that.
There is good information about Motion Blur in web, like: How to Add Motion Blur to your 3D Animation in Post Production by Creating 2D Motion Vectors in Maya <- there is good explanations about this topic. And other good tutorial about this is A Focused Look Motion Blur In After Effects in AEtuts.
So I chose to render Motion Blur in Modo even it takes some more render time and controlling it afterward could be a problem. But let's move on… Here is some test with motion blur length values. I think result was enough good for this training. Remeber that your "antialiasing" value affects your blur quality. So if it's too low you get some noise around edges.
Depth of Field
Thank god DOF is a little bit easier than Motion Blur in compositing part. It's fast pass to render and it's easier to control afterwards. So I put it to own "Render Output" in modo and composited that in After Effects. I use Lens Blur filter in After Effects to get that DOF into the image.
Rendering this project was tricky part in many section. There was problems with rendering format and network rendering.
There is still many holes in my rendering skills but every project teaching me a lot. One hole is EXR format and how to use it properly. I used it before a little bit and saw that there are much more control with this format afterwards. I rendered this project with OpenEXR 32-bit float format. I guess technically It was not necessary to render this job with so high depth (32-bit) and full hd resolution size, except as for training.
I found that OpenEXR can be very good format, but if you wan't get all benefits from it you need to buy ProEXR version. That 95$ could be too much for many users from just one plugin. One good thing that you can get with Pro version is multilayer feature. This means you can render all passes to the same file and use them all in After Effects easily. Otherwise if you just use that free version OpenEXR (it is delivered with After Effects CS5 and higher version by default) you need to separate those passes to the own files and it means more hand work. There is also more benefits in Pro version. Check out those links below to get more info about it.
You can find more info about OpenEXR and ProEXR file format:
OpenEXR Wikipedia
Network Rendering
I almost lost my nerves with modo's "Network Rendering". This feature is very buggy at the moment and I really hope that Luxology fix those problems at next patch. I got it to work with somehow, but there is still problems with stability. You can read more about these problems from Luxology's forum topic and check out my solution "Modo 601 SP2 Network Rendering Problem and How to Fix it". But after all I rendered this with Modo's Network Rendering tool. I had to reset those slave machines many times and repeat that whole process that I described in that video.
Sound planning is always fun part if you have totally free hands in project. I made that background song with Reason and compositing all sounds in Reaper. That bird sound I got from freesound.org web site. Thanks to my girlfriend to get her voice there :) (I really like her voice). That speak line is almost "gibberish" language, because it's talking about "how to get shampoo from silk flowers" ;) Hehe, silk flowers… My goal was only to plan believable sounds for this fictional ad.
Now I understand more basics about Spline Effector and using replicators with it. I understand more about Network Rendering. I also achieve more about the lightning setups and how to use different lights in the modo. There is still so much to lear from modo… In next job I try to learn something new again and I will choose subject with keeping that in my mind.
PS. Remember that this is just a fictional ad. I do not have that shampoo to sell :)

US Army to bring drone images to troop phones soon
updated 06:00 pm EDT, Tue October 26, 2010
US Army working on cheap intel system for troops
The US Army may be capable of sending surveillance video images from aircraft drones to troops' cellphones within two years, a Tuesday report said. Called the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), it should send images from the battlefield to soldiers waiting on the ground. The program is under development and is expected to be launched in 2014, said Tim Owings, deputy program manager for Army unnamed aerial systems.
Another option that would achieve the same means is self-contained 4G networks, Owings said at the yearly Association of the US Army conference.
Working on creating such an ultra-secure network are Textron, Raytheon, L-3 Communications Holdings and Sierra Nevada Corp. This option would result in smaller contracts, but they would help the Pentagon become more efficient and save money.
Such a system would be compatible with commercially available handsets, bringing down costs. Field testing could piggyback on a larger test of unnamed aerial systems and networks scheduled for September. Training troops would also be relatively simple and cost-efficient, as many troops are already familiar with smartphones.

Food and Nutrition
The center will supply breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack for children, and appropriate foods for infants. The Lindgren Child Care Center participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program through the State of MN Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture., which does not permit discrimination based on race, color, sex, age, handicap, or national origin. Any person who believes that he or she has been discriminated against should write immediately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, DC, 20250, or call (202)720.5964.
Our meal service times for toddlers, preschoolers, and infants over one year are:
- 8:30 a.m. breakfast
- 11:00 a.m. lunch
- 2:00 – 2:30 p.m. snack
Babies under one year eat at the times most appropriate to them as shared by their parents with the infant teacher.
The Center prepares the breakfast and snacks on-site from simple foods requiring little preparation. The hot noon meal is catered by our on-campus food service, SODEXHO, Inc. Food preparation here at Lindgren occurs using sanitary procedures spelled out for staff to follow.
The program supports breastfeeding by
- accepting, storing, and serving expressed human milk for feedings;
- accepting human milk in ready-to-feed sanitary containers labeled with the infant's name and date and storing it in a refrigerator for no longer than 48 hours (or no more than 24 hours if the breast milk was previously frozen) or in a freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below for no longer than three months;
- ensuring that staff gently mix, not shake, the milk before feeding to preserve special infection-fighting and nutritional components in human milk; and
- providing a comfortable place for breastfeeding and coordinating feedings with the infant's mother.
Choking Hazards
The Center does not the following foods at any time: hot dogs, whole or sliced into rounds; whole grapes; nuts; popcorn; raw peas and hard pretzels; spoonfuls of peanut butter; or chunks of raw carrots or meat larger than can be swallowed whole.
Staff cut foods into pieces no larger than 1/4-inch square for infants and 1/2-inch square for toddlers/twos, according to each child's chewing and swallowing capability.
- The Lindgren Child Care Center does not offer solid foods and fruit juices to infants younger than six months of age, unless that practice is recommended by the child's health care provider and approved by families. Sweetened beverages are avoided. If juice (only 100% fruit juice is recommended) is served, the amount is limited to no more than four ounces per child daily.
- Infants unable to sit are held for bottle-feeding. All others sit or are held to be fed. Infants and toddlers/twos do not have bottles while in a crib or bed and do not eat from propped bottles at any time. Toddlers/twos do not carry bottles, sippy cups, or regular cups with them while crawling or walking. Teaching staff offer children fluids from a cup as soon as the families and teachers decide together that a child is developmentally ready to use a cup.
- The center staff work with families (who are informed by their child's health care provider) to ensure that the food is based on the infants' individual nutritional needs and developmental stage.
- Except for human milk, staff serve only formula and infant food that comes to the facility in factory-sealed containers (e.g., ready-to-feed powder or concentrate formulas and baby food jars) prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. Bottle feedings do not contain solid foods unless the child's health care provider supplies written instructions and a medical reason for this practice. Staff discard after one hour any formula or human milk that is served but not completely consumed or is not refrigerated. If staff warm formula or human milk, the milk is warmed in water at no more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit for no more than five minutes. No milk, including human milk, and no other infant foods are warmed in a microwave oven.
- We feed whole or reduced fat cow's milk to children ages 12-24 months. We do not feed cow's milk to children younger than 12 months. A request to differ from the latter policy would require a Special Dietary Statement from the child's health care provider.
Center menus are prepared and posted in every classroom on the refrigerators. These menus are prepared between the director, teachers, and the staff at SODEXHO, Inc, the caterer. They are kept on file for review by Dr. Brenda Lenz, who serves as our health consultant. Copies of the entire menu cycle are available to parents on request. Because we participate in the CACFP, the menus are also reviewed by specialists in the Child Nutrition Section of the Minnesota Department of Education, who administers our participation in the CACFP.
Special Diet
On rare occasions children have medical dietary needs. Parents may request alternative foods, but in order for the Center to continue receiving reimbursement for that meal, parents must have their doctors complete a Special Dietary Request. These are available from the director.

We can't control the cold weather but we can make sure we look our best when we're battling the wind and the rain. It's time to check out the gorgeous new coats in store and online this Autumn – layering up has never been so lovely! Macs are always popular but this season we're seeing some warmer coats styles that emphasise different areas of the figure.
Have a look at our top new styles below and tell us what you like most?
A funnel neck coat is super cosy as you can do up the buttons to the top to keep your neck warm. Available at evans in black or red, it looks super smart. And it's flattering for pear-shapes as it flares out to slim the bottom and hips.
2. Duffle Coat
A duffle coat is flattering for all body shapes as it falls to mid-thigh length, gliding over the stomach and bottom. You'll feel warm and protected in the soft fabric and effortlessly stylish as all the colours it's in are classic – red, black and camel.
3. Belted Coat
If you want a coat that you can wear for smart or causal occasions then the black belted coat is so versatile. The belt cinches you in at the waist to slim your shape and the pockets are a treat to the eyes as well as your back as you can fill them up and leave a handbag at home.
i prefer the belted coat (3rd one), looks great, a definite must buy for me this winter. i guess they look great over a top and straight jeans with boots.

IMPERIAL, Pa.—Police have identified a man who was fatally shot in a western Pennsylvania tavern by a suspect charged with wounding two other patrons, too.
Allegheny County police say 29-year-old James Adams, of Imperial, was fatally shot by 25-year-old David Mazzocco at the Fort Pitt Inn in North Fayette Township.
Police believe Mazzocco became upset with someone he was text messaging when he left the bar and returned about 12:45 a.m. Monday with three weapons.
Authorities say Mazzocco shot Adams in the head, killing him, before shooting another in the neck. A third man was wounded as he subdued the gunman.
Investigators say Mazzocco was having relationship problems. He's facing charges of homicide, attempted homicide and other counts. He was in custody and it wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Tomato, Artichoke and Basil Pasta / Susan Tusa/Detroit Free Press
Tomato, Artichoke and Basil Pasta
Serves: 4 / Preparation time: 20 minutes / Total time: 20 minutes
■ 1 tablespoon kosher salt
■ 1 pound short pasta such as campanelle
■ 2 tablespoons olive oil
■ 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves
■ 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, rinsed, patted dry
■ ½ jar (6 ounces) marinated quartered artichoke hearts with some liquid
■ 8-ounce container fresh mozzarella (cherry size)
■ ½ cup shredded basil leaves plus small leaves for garnish
■ ½ teaspoon kosher coarse salt
■ ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with a generous tablespoon of kosher salt. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente just slightly firm to the bite. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and sauté about 5 minutes or until they just begin to burst. Add the artichokes with some liquid from the jar (about ¼ cup). Cook another 5 minutes to heat through.
Place the cooked pasta in a large serving bowl. Scrape the tomatoes and artichokes into the pasta and toss. If the mixture seems too dry, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water. Add the fresh mozzarella and basil leaves. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

According to a recent report, Japan?s mobile content marketplace in 2006 was worth some ?928.5 billion, (approx. $800 million) posting an increase of 129% year-on-year. Noted by category the mobile content market, transactions for fee-based content, comprised ?366.1 billion, marking an increase of 116% over 2005. Mobile commerce ? including hard goods, services, and transactions ? made up ?562.4 billion, an increase of 138% over final results for fiscal 2005.
Via D2C:
Within the mobile content market, the downloadable ringtone melody business shrank some 20% from the previous year to 84.3 billion yen, but the real-tone market showed substantial growth of 135% to reach a total 75.9 billion yen. In addition, growth could also be seen in new services like ?decorated mail,? which generated some 5.5 billion yen, as well as the electronic book market, which showed considerable growth over the previous year to reach ?6.9 billion.
In terms of mobile commerce, there was considerable growth in the sale in the three major areas of hard goods (mobile mail order), services (including banking, travel, air and rail tickets), and transactions (such as fees for stock trading, auctions, and racing). A particular increase was seen in hard goods, which showed an increase of 168% over the previous year.
Impressive, almost $6 for every man, woman and child! Clearly the continued increase of 3G network subscribers combined with desirable contents and services, such as digital TV broadcasting and mobile commerce transactions, indicate continued growth potential in the Japan market. However, the domestic content, application and service providers really do need to begin planning more aggressively for opportunities overseas, considering the fundamental difference in carrier strategies, as those regions begin to mature.

CARLETON – A Carleton area man is dead and a relative has been arrested on charges of murder, authorities said.
Maj. Jeff Kemp of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office identified the victim as David C. Killian, 50, of Carleton. He was found dead this morning (Sunday) in the basement of a house in the 1100 block of Carleton-Rockwood Rd.
Maj. Kemp declined to release the manner of death, pending further investigation.
A relative of the victim was arrested at the house where he lives. Maj. Kemp said the suspect, around 30 years old, has been cooperative. He is expected to be arraigned Monday in First District Court.
Around 11:30 a.m. today police received a call asking to check on the house. The suspect answered the door and deputies eventually found the victim's body in the basement. Maj. Kemp said it has not been determined how the body ended up in the basement or how long the victim has been dead.
No one else was in the house.
The incident remains under investigation by Detectives Joseph Hammond and Jeff Pauli of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office detective bureau. Anyone who may have information relating to the investigation is asked to call the detective bureau at (734) 240-7530.

The "Teflon Teen™", Justine Beiber, Gets Busted
I have to hang my head and admit that I am fascinated by pop culture and the crazy world that revolves around it. The excesses of young Hollywood and the music industry makes me sick to my stomach. I can't help but think of the people in my poor town who are struggling to feed their kids and keep a shelter over their heads, while thugs like Justin Bieber blow more money in a single party than many make in decade.
Waking up to the news that Justin Bieber, the Teflon Teen™, was finally busted for something, after getting away with so much shit over the years, made me smile.
When I heard that he resisted arrest, wouldn't take his hands out of his pockets according to one report, I immediately thought of Roy Middleton, the Florida man who was shot at 15 times by police in his own driveway while retrieving some cigarettes out of the car. He was black, you know? Thankfully, he lived through it.
As the day goes on, the sensationalist cable new networks will use the Bieber story as a good reason to ditch all the other important stories happening in the world today. For example, our awesome President Barack Obama announced an initiative to combat rape yesterday and the evidence against Chris Christie and his bullying ways are growing in scope.
Based on the look on Justin's face, he probably thinks it's cool to get busted. He knows damn well that he can afford the best lawyers you can buy. Something tells me this isn't the last mug shot we will see from the Teflon Teen™.
(I don't really have the trademark for Teflon Teen, so feel free to use the hell out of it. :)

A week ago Justin's mother, Pattie Mallette, spoke at Houston's mega First (Southern) Baptist Church promoting her book on motherhood…"Nowhere But Up". In her book she related her belief that God was directing her life, weaving her faith, and her ups and downs. It appears now she may need to still "mother" her wild child. http://crossmap.christianpost.com/news/justin-biebers-mom-pattie-mallette-testified-in-ksbj-girls-night-out-event-8562

5. Public Comments (not related to agenda items)
6. Old Business
7. New Business
A. Principle Shopping District Petition – Consideration of a petition initiated by the Circle
Area Business Association to establish a Principle Shopping District corresponding with
the Circle zoning district.
At the June 24th City Council meeting, a petition was brought to City Council regarding allowing the Circle Area Business Association to establish a principal shopping district. This petition has been the culmination of about a five-year process with the Circle Business Association and the City of Midland. The purpose of this is for these businesses to create a district where they can assess themselves to collect some money for promotion of events in their business area. In order to do this, it needs to be designated on the city's master plan as a principle shopping district.
A timeline has been provided to incorporate state laws regarding public review for surrounding governmental entities and other concerned individuals to be heard on this matter. This area would have a Board of Directors, just like the downtown area, to govern them and to oversee the pot of money collected.
Steve Rapanos asked if the group of business owners got together and done any visioning regarding how they would like to see this district proceed in the future.
Jon Lynch stated that in 2003, they did have Hamilton/Anderson Company do a visioning process for this area.
Dave Ginnis stated that he is the acting chair of the Circle Business Association. They have spent a considerable amount of time considering their boundaries and the way they are going to proceed with this process.
Stuart Bergstein, 1200 North Parkway. Stated that he has worked with these individuals and businesses in getting this all set up. It will be two to three years before any projects would be able to be started.
Mark Smith, Smith's Flowers, said that his family moved into the building shortly before he was born in 1956. He is very proud of the circle and he hopes it can be brought back to what it used to be but in a modern fashion.
B. Code of Ordinances Amendment – Request by Diane Doyle on behalf of 7-Eleven
Store #12 to modify Section 16-35 of the City of Midland Code of Ordinances to permit 24 hour operations at 4004 Jefferson Avenue.
The history of this property is quite extensive regarding neighborhood concerns, hours of operation for both this store as well as the pizza establishment next door. Mr. Lynch proposed staff come back to the Planning Commission on August 9th with an extensive history of this property and how it became what it is today.
C. Mr. Senesac brought up the issue of moving signs that have been popping up throughout the city. If there is support from the commission, he would like to ask Jon and staff to pull together some information regarding these signs. There is a new scrolling message sign just east of Wackerly. The city has received a number of comments about this sign.

The TKG recommends allowing I believe 4 hours until "surgery" should even be attempted. Give her some time, it sometimes takes quite awhile.
This morning I woke up and found my B. Vagans upside down so I got very very excited and pretty nervous heh...
Anyways, this is my first molt and being so I have no idea what to expect. I thought she had "popped" her carapace but hasnt done that yet... shes just lying on her back, Its been id say around 20-30 mins since I last saw her and she hasnt flinched. Its possible that since I put a light to see her since shes burrowed in her hide that she stops moving when she feels the light.
How long does the process take?
Im really worried... I got her id say around 1 month or 2 ago and as soon as I got her in her new enclosure she went in her hide blockaded it, dug a hole and barely moved from there. She always had water, the substrate was bone dry. Temps went from 70 to 80 but stayed mostly at 75 and humidity was between 50%-60% Im starting to think that this couldve been the problem.
If the humidity for her is too low then what should I do?
I also keep 2 Lasiodora Parahybanas and theyre around the same humidity and temps. I was thinking to put the humidity up I could use a damp paper towel and just stick it to the side of the enclosure?
They all have bottle caps for water.
I hope shes fine!
The TKG recommends allowing I believe 4 hours until "surgery" should even be attempted. Give her some time, it sometimes takes quite awhile.
Don't sweat it. This process takes a long time just don't bother her and she'll do her stuff.
Gimme some popcorn!!
Thanks for the replies guys, I was starting to feel really bummed out (who wouldve thought that these little spiders would make a person feel like this).
Would misting her enclosure now help at all? Or just stress her further?
It'll help in molting just don't spray it on her
Gimme some popcorn!!
just relax... i think my 1" sling needed about 1h and half to do that so don't freak out!! Just w8 and enjoy that miracle of nature come out :P

How big is she? I've seen adult grammy take 12 hours or more to molt. All you can really do now is wait and see what happens.

Don't mist. Molting has to do with internal moisture and not external. Misting now wont do anything to help the process. All you can do is sit and wait. How big is your B. Vagans ?
Misting her onclosure won't help. It's internal hydration that matters now.
How big is this vagans? Sling/juvie/adult?
In any case, it's common for them to lie on their back twitching their feet for hours before the carapace pops. Once that's happened though it's usually done in another hour or two.

I guess ill just have to wait and see.
She is id say around 2.5-3.5''.
i don't recommend misting during molting process
if you do it wrong your T might get irritated and rush things over
resulting to bad molt or missing limbs
dont touch her and the tank
just sit and wait or do your daily routine
in this prison...

Don't disturb her, including misting, at all. Any added humidity to the enclosure will be marginally beneficial and you run the risk of startling her.
The process can take quite a bit of time with long periods of inactivity. Don't worry too much. Just observe and if you need help post back and we'll help wherever possible.
Ts don't actually go through the convulsive twitching you see in some molting vids. This is because those videos are time lapsed. What you will see is slight movements over time with long periods of inactivity while it rests for the next 'push'.

Never too late … Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in 2003's "Something's Gotta Give". Photo: Headpress
Through my 20s, 30s and 40s, I tried everything to find true love, from blind dates to singles bars to cosmic ordering, but nothing ever worked. It wasn't that I didn't lead an interesting life. I had great jobs, first in TV, then as a writer, and so, you'd think, ample opportunity to meet the right man.
I'd also travelled extensively, acquiring a certain worldliness. And though not exactly a stunner, I reckoned I could hold my own against your average girl. But while I met men, and fell in love, more than once, I had an unerring knack for attracting the wrong type. My love life featured a litany of toe-curling catastrophes. If a man was unsuitable, unobtainable or unstable, he was for me.
The man who topped my already bruising record for picking the wrong one was a drug-smuggling American on the list of the FBI's most wanted. At the time I was 34 and on the French Riviera, looking for adventure and researching my novels. I first heard about him through my dubious French neighbours, who painted such a rousingly romantic picture of him that I couldn't help being intrigued. Before I knew it, he was sending a chauffeur-driven car to transport me to a five-star hotel in Cannes for champagne cocktails before an evening of ballet at the Palais des Festivals.
Memorable times followed, with clandestine rendezvous, fake passports, private jets and luxury yachts. Then, a few months into our relationship, he gave himself up. He'd been informed by US authorities that his brother, already in custody, would be sentenced to 25 years if he didn't hand himself in.
Following his 12-year sentence to a California prison, I moved to Los Angeles so I'd be close enough to visit. Was there no end to how wrong I could get this? But the visits soon tapered off, and I found I loved living in LA - even more so when three months after arriving in Studio City a new neighbour moved in: George Clooney.
I thought fate might at last be smiling on me. But even though my dog, Casanova, tried to speed things along by breaking into George's garden and trying to roger his Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, that dream was not to be.
So the years rolled on with the hope of a wonderful and lasting relationship blooming only in my dreams - or my fiction. And though my friendships and career were a great source of fun and celebration, I never had that one special person there just for me.
So I got myself a therapist.
I'd already worked out that most of my problems stemmed from losing my mother to breast cancer at the age of nine, followed by a calamitous spell at a boarding school from which I was expelled for doing everything I could to get back home to my dad. What the therapist showed me was how important it was to revisit past issues in order to move on. Off we went into my tormented psyche, plunging deeper and deeper into the abyss of despair, before starting the climb back to what turned out to be a rather different world.
Surprisingly, it was one in which I felt calmer, more connected to myself and not at all tempted to hurtle off on another voyage of self-destruction. I liked the new me. I seemed more grounded, more worthwhile, even. Sadly, however, even therapy didn't prove the magic formula for meeting the right man.
Months turned into more lonely years, during which I had woeful dabbles in internet dating. The time had come to start accepting that I was going to grow old alone, though it made me feel desperately sad.
Then, three months after my 50th birthday, my two closest friends set up a dinner with James, who was divorced with two children.
When a tall, slightly greying stranger walked into the restaurant, it felt as if he'd stepped straight out of my dreams. Had I been less scarred by the many mistakes of my past, I might have trusted right away that he was the one. As it was, I didn't quite dare to believe it, in spite of the electricity between us.
I kept waiting for fate to throw off its happy-ever-after cloak like some horrible pantomime villain and shout "Gotcha!". But it never did.
I was with a man who wanted to be with me, who valued our time together, and did everything in his power to enrich it. Candlelit dinners, cards with romantic messages and gifts of beautiful lingerie. He made me laugh, feel happy and glad to be alive.
All that dread of never meeting the right one, and finally he was here.
Several months into our relationship he brought his sons, then aged 10 and 13, to meet me and we had a riotous time. I've never had any children of my own, but in my 30s
I wanted them. Obviously it's too late now, and I don't mind. James's boys have become an important part of my life and I hope, like their father, that they always will be.
More than six years have gone by since James and I first met. We are now planning a wedding in the south of France. Imagine, a blushing bride for the first time at 57! Not sure whether that's sad, embarrassing or just plain lovely. Think I'll go with the latter.
It may have taken until I was 50 to find the right man, and I've kissed more than my share of pond life along the way, but I can tell you this: he was more than worth the wait.
Susan Lewis' latest book is Don't Let Me Go (Century).

While small talking with Chip Kelly for a few minutes after his enormously attended press conference Thursday, the new Eagles coach recalled recruiting in South Jersey while offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, rattling off area high schools and former players as quick as his offense at Oregon.
He even joked how he knew his way over the Walt Whitman Bridge, pointing correctly over my shoulder while still inside the NovaCare Complex which way to turn going into South Jersey. "We used to recruit the heck out of South Jersey," he said.
Like his memory and knowledge of South Jersey high schools ...

An Australian rules Augusta! Adam Scott holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to beat Angel Cabrera and win the Masters. Scott and Cabrera birdied the final hole of regulation and parred the first sudden-death hole. Cabrera almost pulled out his third Major title, but his birdie try on the first extra hole just missed the cup. Scott claimed his first Major victory and made up for his performance at the end of last year's British Open, where he bogeyed the last four holes to lose by a stroke to Ernie Els. Scott closed with a 3-under 69 for a 9-under total in becoming the first Australian to win the event. Cabrera fired a 2-under 70 to turn the Masters into a sudden-death affair for the third time in four years. Jason Day had the lead until he bogeyed the 16th and 17th holes. He finished two strokes out of the playoff at minus-7, two shots better than Tiger Woods and Marc Leishman.
Dwight Howard had 26 points and 17 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers staged a dramatic rally in the fourth quarter for a win in their first game since losing Kobe Bryant for the season, beating the San Antonio Spurs 91-86 last night to stay in position for a playoff berth. Steve Blake scored 23 points for the Lakers, who lead Utah by 1 ½ games for the eighth postseason spot in the Western Conference after their seventh win in eight games. Bryant limped off the Staples Center floor with a torn Achilles tendon Friday night. Tim Duncan had 23 points and ten rebounds for the Spurs, who have lost six straight road games. San Antonio is likely to finish second in the West behind Oklahoma City, which holds the tiebreaker.

News Briefs:
The Northeast Community College Board of Governors has approved a purchase agreement for land for the extended campus facility in O'Neill. At last week's meeting, the board approved the purchase of nearly seven acres along Highway 275, just west of the Farm Credit Service of America building. Terry Nelson, chairman of the Facilities Committee, says the $144,000 purchase price for the land is very reasonable and is the same amount FCS paid for the land more than 10 years ago. Board member Larry Possnecker of Atkinson says all of North-Central Nebraska is excited about the new facility.
Among the items on Monday night's Norfolk City Council agenda is a request to rezone the property on East Norfolk Avenue where the Budget Inn is located. The item has been tabled twice - March 4th and again on March 18th - so a representative of the owner, Mota Ambaji, Inc., could be present. City Prevention Manager, Trent Howard says issues came up when fire damaged the building and owners wanted to repair and rebuild the facility. Howard says more than 50 percent of the building was damaged and in order for owners to make the needed repairs, the zoning for the area needs to be brought into compliance. Howard says part of the land is zoned as single-family residential and that another issue raised by neighbors, is that the motel is no longer used as a short-term facility. Howard says he expects the zoning to be worked out in a way that satisfies both the Budget Inn owners and the neighbors.
Whether you're looking for a low-cost or high-value home, there is a housing shortage in Norfolk. City Administrator Shane Weidner says the construction industry and private entities are working on the problem. Weidner says the city can help by eliminating roadblocks to construction and by helping pursue aggressive financing options.
A house fire Friday southeast of Norfolk is estimated to have caused over $100,000 dollars in damages. Norfolk Fire Division Lieutenant, Landon Grote, reports that the Norfolk Fire Division responded to a fire on 557th Avenue about two miles east of the airport, shortly after 11:00 Friday morning. Smoke detectors were present and working at the home, and alerted family members to the fire who then called 911. The fire damage was mainly located on the south side but heavy smoke damage spread throughout the structure. Fire Marshall Terry Siebel said the fire started on the main floor bathroom from an unattended burning candle. There were no injuries to the occupants of the home or firefighters.
The U-S Small Business Administration has named Petersen Ag Systems of Norfolk as Nebraska Small Business of the Year for 2013. President Henry Asch off and Vice President Keith Wiehn lead the organization. Petersen is an agricultural equipment supplier of irrigation and grain handling products with outlets in Osmond, Hartington, Fremont, and Onawa, Iowa.

Brief Information About New York
New York City is the largest city in the United States. It is located in the southern part of New York State, at the mouth of the Hudson River. Hudson River is also known as North River as it passes Manhattan Island.
Henry Hudson in the year 1609 sailed up the river that now bears his name. A permanent settlement was established at what is now known as New York. New York was originally called New Amsterdam by the Dutch governors. One of them, Peter Minuit, supposedly bought Manhattan Island from the Indians . In 1664, Great Britain's Duke of York sent a fleet that quietly captured the settlement from the Dutch and rechristened the colony.
New York, commonly known as "The Big Apple" is a major world capital and a leader in finance, arts, and communications.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski took part in a benefit concert Monday night at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston and helped raise over $20,000 for two fallen firefighters who tragically died last month, TMZ Sports reported.
Lt. Ed Walsh and Firefighter Michael Kennedy both lost their lives March 26 while fighting a nine-alarm blaze in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood.
Gronk kicked off the event, which was hosted by the local organization, The Great American Foundation, in possibly the most Gronk-way possible.
According to TMZ, Gronkowski put on a Boston Fire Gaelic Brigade helmet and said some heartfelt words about the men who "put their lives on the line all the time." Gronk then got the event going by telling the crowd, "They're our true heroes … God bless America … Let's get Gronkin'."
All of the money raised will be donated to the firefighters' families.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia on DL; Rangers manager unhappy with catcher
ARLINGTON – Jarrod Saltalamacchia is going to the DL. Manager Ron Washington isn't happy. Not that Saltalamacchia is hurt – again – but rather in the way Saltalamacchia handled notifying the team about an injury in the same area as the one that cost him 10 days of spring training.
According to Washington, Saltlamacchia told the Rangers after Wednesday's loss to Toronto that he was dealing with upper back stiffness and that the problem cropped up during Monday's season opener.
Washington said, though, that Saltalamacchia did not notify the Rangers of the issue while receiving routine treatment before Wednesday's game. He was called upon to pinch hit for Taylor Teagarden in the ninth inning and took a called third strike. Only after the game did he notify the Rangers of the new problem.
The Rangers are purchasing the contract of C Matt Treanor and will have to make a move on their 40-man roster. It will either require moving a player like Tommy Hunter to the 60-day DL, which would mean he would not be eligible before June 1, or risking a player to waivers.
"He needs to mature," Washington said. "He has put us in a bad situation. What if he had walked last night and we tied the game? Was he going to tell me then that he couldn't catch. I don't care how badly he wants to play, you can't just think about yourself. He was supposed to be healthy when we left spring training. That's what he told us. I'm not disappointed in him for being hurt; that happens. I'm disappointed in how he has handled it."
Saltalamacchia twice scratched himself out of spring exhibitions with problems. The first was attributed to scar tissue associated with surgery last September to remove a rib and improve blood flow to his right arm. The second was with upper back/neck stiffness in the same area as the current injury. He ended up missing 10 days and did not return to the "A" game lineup until the last week of spring training.
Saltalamacchia underwent an MRI Thursday morning and was scheduled to see Dallas-based back specialist Dr. Andrew Dossett Thursday afternoon.
It's not known if Saltalamacchia's back problem has anything to do with intermittent throwing problems that have dogged him this spring. He had numerous inaccurate throws to the pitcher last season, including one that cost the Rangers a run. That problem was supposedly related to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which caused numbness in his hands and led to last year's surgery. Since returning, however, he's had several erratic throws, including one on Monday that was well wide of the pitcher. SS Elvis Andrus had to retrieve the ball.
