15 of the world's most amazing abandoned airports
Skyscanner | Fri, Mar 21 2014
This article was originally published on the flight comparison site Skyscanner.
1. Castellon-Costa Azahar Airport, Spain
What's Spanish for White Elephant? Officially declared 'open' in March 2011, no commercial flight has actually left from or landed at Castellon-Costa Azahar Airport. Built at a cost of 150 million euros (S$264 million), the enduring feature of this freshly-deceased airport near Valencia is a statue in honour of Carlos Fabra, the local politician who was the driving force behind its construction. He is under investigation for tax evasion and corruption.
2. Don Quijote Airport, Spain
If you thought 150 million euros was a waste of money, how about 1.1 billion? Don Quijote Airport (or Ciudad Real Central, to give it its official name) was conceived in the 1990s as an alternative to Madrid-Barajas. Fifty minutes from Madrid on a high-speed rail connection with Seville, it was Spain's first private international airport, and Spain's last - it went bust and closed in April 2012.
3. Berlin Tempelhof, Germany
Built in 1923, Berlin-Tempelhof closed to passengers on 31 October 2008. Until the construction of the Pentagon, it was the largest building in the world. It played a key role in the Berlin Airlift but over the years it became obsolete. Today 'Tempelhof Field' is the largest public park in the city and the airport buildings host events such as raves and fashion shows.
4. Croydon Airport, England
Said to be one of the three iconic pre-World War Two airports in Europe, along with Le Bourget in Paris and Templehof in Berlin, Croydon was redolent of the romance of early aviation. Several famous figures, from Amy Johnson and Charles Lindbergh, to Winston Churchill, graced its runway, which crossed a road on which traffic had to be stopped by a man waving a red flag. It is also famous for being the first airport with air traffic control. Today, the old terminal Airport House still stands, decorated by a De Havilland Heron.
5. Nicosia International Airport, Cyprus
Nicosia International Airport was the most important airport in Cyprus but commercial activity stopped after the Turkish invasion of 1974. Today it is a no-man's land, a United Nations buffer zone from which both Greeks and Turks are barred.
6. RAF Binbrook, England
The UK has a number of old disused airfields just waiting to be turned into the next 'regional hub' or Mayor of London-named mega project mooted as an alternative to Heathrow's 11th runway. RAF Binbrook, near Brookenby in Lincolnshire was used by bombers during World War II and continued to be used by the Air Force until the 1980s. Its biggest claim to fame is as the set for 1990 flick Memphis Belle.
7. Gaza International Airport, Gaza Strip
Also known as Yasser Arafat International Airport, this airport served the Gaza Strip. Opened in 1998, 700,000 passengers passed though it a year, but not for long. In December 2001 Israeli forces shelled its radar station and control tower, putting it out of action. A few weeks later, they bulldozed the runway.

|USGS Wheeler Peak
|Easiest route
|A well-maintained trail, the Wheeler Peak Summit Trail, leads from a trail-head near the end of Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive directly to the summit, making for a Class 1 hike.[3][4]
Wheeler Peak is the tallest mountain in both the Snake Range and White Pine County, in Nevada, United States. Its summit elevation of 13,065 feet (3,982 m) makes it the second-tallest peak in Nevada, just behind Boundary Peak.[5] Wheeler Peak's topographic prominence of 7,563 feet (2,305 m) makes it the most topographically prominent peak in White Pine County and the second-most prominent peak in Nevada, just behind Mount Charleston.[6] The mountain is located in Great Basin National Park and was named for George Wheeler, leader of the Wheeler Survey of the late 19th century.
Peak Features[edit]
Wheeler Peak has an impressive headwall above a large glacial cirque, large moraines and an active rock glacier. The top of the mountain is covered by deep snow most of the year. A paved road runs from the Great Basin National Park visitor center to several small camping areas, the highest more than halfway up the mountain. The mountain's prominence is due to a Miocene detachment fault that brought the deep Cambrian Prospect Mountain quartzite to the top of the mountain.
Wheeler Peak—Boundary Peak[edit]
The distinction of highest point in Nevada goes to the summit of Boundary Peak, so named because it is just east of the Nevada-California border, at the northern terminus of the White Mountains. Wheeler Peak is, however, the tallest independent mountain in the state since Boundary Peak is considered a subsidiary summit of Montgomery Peak, whose summit is in California. The topographic prominence of Boundary Peak is 253 feet (77 m), which falls under the often used 300-foot (91 m) cutoff for an independent peak. Also, Boundary Peak is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) away from its higher neighbor, while Wheeler Peak is over 230 miles from the nearest higher peak.[2]
By contrast the prominence of Wheeler Peak, at 7,563 feet (2,305 m), is the twelfth largest in the contiguous United States.[7] It is also the twelfth most topographically isolated summit in the contiguous United States.[8]
Nearby features[edit]
The limestone Lehman Caves, at the base of the mountain, feature a large collection of shield formations. Tours of the caves are offered year round by the National Park Service. Higher up on the glacial moraine is a grove of ancient Great Basin Bristlecone Pines of great age. A Bristlecone Pine named Prometheus, which was at least 4,862 years old and the oldest known non-clonal organism, grew here before it was inadvertently cut down in 1964 as part of a research project. Limber Pine, which can live for over 1,000 years, are also found in the area.

I did it ! I rode my sassy 6 year old , asked for a canter and was thrown like mashed potatoes from a plastic spoon..... splat.. We used to do that when we were kids , food fight , my mothers masked potatoes were the best ! Lol
4 broken ribs and a broken collar bone. Recovering nicely , thanks to my girl friend walkamile and her great suppers she has been bringing over. Sure has made it easy, I am on day 4 and already feeling better.
My question is,, what is a good protective riding vest as I know that is what I am going to want to wear next time in the saddle. I have another horse that will be the one I ride until Miss Ruby comes to an understanding that it is not polite to BUCK!

In this Jan. 13 file photo, 2013 Oscar host Seth MacFarlane presents the Academy nominations for the 85th Academy Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif. The multitalented entertainer talked with The Associated Press about what makes a great Oscar show, juggling multiple jobs and who he thinks will host the Oscars next year (not him).
It looks like it's one and done at the Oscars for Seth MacFarlane.
The "Family Guy" creator was asked on his Twitter account whether he'd consider hosting the Academy Awards again and he replied: "No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though."
MacFarlane's edgy comedy proved a polarizing force on Sunday's Academy Awards, with jokes about domestic violence, women's bodies and Jews in Hollywood that offended some viewers. The Oscars did get their biggest audience in three years, however, with particular growth among young viewers.
MacFarlane's spokeswoman said Tuesday she had nothing to add to the tweet.

A/N: I don't own Hetalia. Ok, since this is Japan we're talkin' 'bout, he ain't gonna be that romantic *cough* sexy *cough*. Sorry! :") And just imagine that Japan is talking with his accent! I don't really feel like goin' through the trouble and makin' sure I did his accent right, so
You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"I got chopsticks." You tell the American, a little confused. Who were the chopsticks for? You thought instantly of Japan, but he didn't seem like the type to play this kind of game. You sat in the closet and waited for a few minutes until the door opened to reveal a very nervous Kiku Honda.
"Err, konnichiwa (y/n)-san." He greeted you shyly with a small blush on his face. You almost squealed because he was so cute!
"Hi Japan," you reply, "So why did you agree to play Seven Minutes in Heaven? You don't seem like the type of person to want to get stuck in the closet with someone!"
"Well, America-san kind of forced me to

Maple Leaf
You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"I got a maple leaf." you tell America. It was obvious who you'd be with for Seven Minutes in Heaven. You had been developing a small crush on Canada, and you hoped that he would like you back. Seven Minutes in Heaven was definitely a good idea. America then led you to the closet.
"Have fun!" he said before shoving you in there and slamming the door.
'Well that was kind of rude.' you thought to yourself as you dusted off your (f/c) dress and waited patiently for Canada to come. Right on cue, the door busted open, and Canada was shoved in. He stumbled and lost his balance, falling right on you.
"O-oh, (y/n)! S-s-sorry, I d-didn't mean to f-fall on you." he stammered, blushing a dark red.
"Erm, um, its ok." you say. He quickly got up off of you (much to your disappointment) and edged away from you a bit.
"S-so, d-do you like

A/N: FYI incase you didn't get the memo, I don't own Hetalia. Hope you like Germany!
You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"It's wurst." You tell America. He flashes you a grin and leads you into the closet where you will wait for your person to show. You had a pretty good guess that it was Germany that was suppose to come in. How America was going to get him in here, you didn't know.
Just then you heard a voice outside the door yell, "Ze hell are you doing? Let go of me zis instant!" The door suddenly opened and Germany was thrown in by a lot of the guy countries.
"Verdammt, (Dammit)" He muttered as he got up and dusted himself off. He looked around until his blue eyes met your (e/c) ones and blushed a little. "Oh, err, hello, (y/n)"
"Hey." You say shyly. You had a crush on the German man for some time, just never had the guts to tell him. Both of you sat in silence for a moment. "Um, Germany there's something I've wanted to tell you for a while

You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"I got a rock.* Oh wait, it's a scone!" you say with realization. America gives you a look of pity and tosses you into the closet. You pick yourself off of the closet floor and wait for England to come. It wasn't long before you heard the Brit yelling at America.
"You bloody git! I told you I didn't want to play this damned game!"
"Dude, calm down! You're gonna be in there with (y/n)." Alfred says before opening the closet door and throwing England at you, "You two have fun now!" You and Arthur both blush as he slams the door, leaving the two of you in awkward silence.
Arthur scratches the back of his head nervously, "Err, 'ello love " you always blush

A/N: my first seven minutes in heaven deal, so if it's not "steamy" enough for you sorry, but I still don't feel comfy bout writin' *cough*sex*cough* scenes. But I will try!
Seven Minutes in Heaven: Intro
You sighed heavily. Why on earth did you let yourself be dragged to one of America's outrageous parties again? The last one was bad enough when the police showed up (thank the Bad Touch Trio for that). You rolled your (e/c) eyes thinking about how much of a disaster it was. But here you were, walking up to America's doorstep, already hearing music blaring and people yelling and screaming. You were about to knock on the door when it flung open to reveal none other than America himself.
"Dude, (y/n), you actually showed up!" America yelled over the loud music.
"Well, you kind of pushed me to come " you mumbled.
"Never mind." God, he was so oblivious sometimes. You sighed again as you walk

You had a death grip on the steering wheel as you raced over to the hospital. You had just gotten a call saying that your fiancé, Arthur Kirkland, had gotten into a car accident, and that he wasn't in good shape. Your heart was racing in your chest, 'Calm down, (y/n), he can't die ' You thought to yourself as you moved your (h/c) hair out of your face, 'He can't die before we get married. He promised.' You finally got into the emergency room, where the doctors led you to Arthur's room. When you saw him lying there on the bed, your heart just wanted to break. His usual untidy blond hair was a huge mess of tangles. Arthur had a gauze taped over one of his emerald green orbs that use to sparkle, but now were clouded with sadness and pain. His head turned a bit towards you when he saw you come in. He tried to give you a reassuring smile, but it just made you worry even more.
You went over and sat down in a small cha

You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"Cool. I got a burger." You tell America. It was easy to tell by his expression that you picked him. Not that it wasn't obvious anyway. He suddenly lifted you up bridal style and carried you into the closet.
"Put. Me. Down!" you ordered as he closed the door of the closet, leaving you in his arms in the dark.
"Aw, why would I do that? I love you too much, (y/n)!" he chuckled as he kissed your neck.
"S-stop it, A-Al." you stutter with your face blushing with embarrassment. Thankfully, he put you down, but only to start kissing you passionately. 'Well, he's a little forward.' You thought to yourself as you eagerly kissed him back. Then you get a brilliant idea and sta

You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"I got ..a tomato!" You tell America. It could only be two people: Spain, and the Italian you had a huge crush on, Romano. America let you to the closet and shoved you in there.
"Well good luck (y/n)!" he said as he slammed the door, leaving you to wait for Romano. Finally after what seemed like ages (but really was only like five seconds) you heard a lot of cussing from the other side of the closet door. America opened the door and dragged Romano in to the closet and closed the door before Romano had the chance to yell at him.
"Stupid bastardo(do

A/N: I don't really see China as the romantic type, so don't flame if it's not as good as the others.
You eagerly put you hand in the hat and pulled out something.
"Aww, I got a toy panda!" you practically squeal with delight. America gives you a small smile and leads you into the closet and closes the door behind you. You sigh and push your (h/c) hair out of your eyes as you wait for your crush to show. You blush at the thought of what you and Wang Yao might do in here. The door flinging open interrupted your daydreams. Yao was pushed in by Alfred kind of roughly, making Yao fall on the floor.
"You have seven minutes! Spend it wisely." Alfred chuckled.
"Aiyah! You stupid American, be careful next time!" he yells at him before the door closes, leaving you two in darkness.
"Umm Yao, where are you? I can't see you." You say quietly. Secretly you had a fear of the dark because you couldn't see anything. You almost jumped out of your skin when you felt a pair of strong arms surr

Arthur sighed as he watched you have fun with some of your friends. You were perfect in his eyes, with your (h/l)(h/c) hair that looked very soft, your (s/c) complexion which seemed to glow in the sun, and last but not least, your beautiful (e/c) eyes that always sparkled with happiness. Once again he sighed. He wished so badly to ask you out, but he just didn't have the guts to do so. You probably wouldn't like him that way anyway. You'd most likely go after someone like Alfred or Francis, heck, maybe even Ivan! The saddest part was, tomorrow was Valentines Day. If Arthur didn't ask you out now, you would most likely get asked out by someone else.
"Ohhonhonhon~ Who are you staring at, Arthur?" A French voice asked him, snapping him out of his thoughts.
Arthur turned to the annoying Frenchman,

You eagerly put your hand into the hat and pulled out a plushy yellow bird.
"Aww, look how adorable it is! Who does it belong to?" You asked, still fangirling over the cuteness if the plushy.
"Kesesese~ That is my awesome item!" a loud voice yelled in the crowd. You looked over to see a white haired man smirking and walking in your direction. 'Oh, it's Prussia...' You thought to yourself. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing that you were going to be in a closet with him for seven minutes; on the contrary, it was a lovely surprise. Your only worry was that he would talk non-stop about how awesome he was and how no one could compare to his awesomeness.
The Prussian still had his usual cocky smirk on his face when he finally made his way over to you, "Are you ready to have some fun with the awesome me, (y/n) ~?"
You didn't have the chance to answer because Alfred dragged you and Prussia over to the closet and threw you in, "Y'all stop

Pork and apple pie with cheddar-sage crust offers an attractive presentation of a hearty meal. 'The Apple Lover's Cookbook' by Amy Traverso explores a number of recipes and which apple varieties pair best with them.
In 1905, the United States Department of Agriculture issued a catalog naming 14,000 known apple varieties grown here during the previous century. These days, perhaps 400 to 500 are grown for commercial use, says Amy Traverso, author of "The Apple Lover's Cookbook."
In her encyclopedic tome, Traverso describes 59 of the best varieties now available, categorized according to their texture (hard or tender) and flavor (tart or sweet). It's enough to give home cooks many years' worth of recipe experiments.
But the ubiquitous Red Delicious ain't one of them. ...


text: Secret Service Felled When Agent Didn't Pay Hooker 11 agents put on leave, 5 military servicemen accused also By Mark Russell, Newser Staff Posted Apr 15, 2012 6:50 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (31) (Newser) – The Secret Service prostitution scandal that's threatening to overshadow the Summit of the Americas came to light after one agent refused to pay one of the women involved, reports the New York Daily News. "The agent said, 'I don't owe you anything,' but gave the woman some money," says Rep. Peter King, who as head of the House Homeland Security Committee, has been briefed. The agents, part of an advance team that was supposed to secure President Obama's hotel, were caught with prostitutes in their hotel rooms, and the dispute caused a disturbance that got local police involved. "Number one, it is against basic ethics to go to a prostitute. Number two, it is incredibly embarrassing to the White House," says one insider, who added that the agents' careers are probably over. "Yes, doubly good judgment there." Eleven agents have been placed on leave in the incident, notes the AP, and another five military personnel have been accused of similar misconduct after violating curfew. None of the Secret Service agents involved were directly responsible for Obama's protection. A Secret Service rep has apologized "for any distraction." Members of the Secret Service wait after President Barack Obama arrived at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport March 16, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Getty Images) People walk past Hotel El Caribe in Cartagena, Colombia, yesterday where 11 Secret Service agents brought prostitutes to their rooms on Friday.

that's just one too far,hate marmite rather suffer the flies.
lavender is nice the hardy type or rosemary.
not in our garden, we have everything and plenty of cover for small birds and rats are really a lot worse especially when they decide they might move in with you!
that's very true too
try well rotted leaf mould and garden compost and dare I say it peat and keep digging.My soil is very heavy clay and it has taken years of input to the stage it is now where when not sodden it is very good but it needs consent in put and breaking up.I include seaweed ,comfrey ,nettles and drowned weeds,its certainly a challenge.
that's the best cure,our local cat who use to catch the rats has moved ,so I hope they don't come back.
that's what it is and it looks wonderful at moment .
I think herbs make a fine display in a box as long as the drainage is right and plenty of sun although mints tend to be thugs so best avoided.
lavender scent or water and make sure you get rid of any stagnant water where they breed and some people use lemon and elderflower spray as I do when riding to avoid horse flies and they can bite.!
dig out root of dandylion and any flower heads pick before seeding and if your clever you could make dandylion wine.

|Older adults navigating medicare: when benefits are denied.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23350568 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Guided by Bourdieu's theory of practice and symbolic violence, this qualitative study explored experiences and perceptions of elderly beneficiaries who had been denied rehabilitation services by Medicare. In semistructured interviews, 12 beneficiaries or family members told of the physical, psychological, and financial consequences of service denial/termination. The resulting perception of Medicare was as a cumbersome, difficult to negotiate system. Findings have implications for future research on service denial and indicate the need for better communication with, and support of, consumers by health care professionals when this occurs.

"This is an all-around romp of a book. The characters are quirky and fun, the plot is action packed but still light and the romance equal parts sexy and humorous. (Rain & Torin's) romance is a blend of sexual and emotional intimacy but wrapped in humor and caring for each other."
The Book Vixen
"I loved Sutherland's humor and how she was able to lace every page with something that made me smile. With a great amount of action and suspense with stunningly hilarious remarks and sizzling hot sex, SKYBOUND is definitely a new series that I will be following!"

Under The Covers
"The dialogue is fun, the sex between Torin and Rain is HOT, HOT, HOT, but the relationship that developed between them is what kept me reading. This book was well paced, definitely well-written, and the characters were fully flushed out. While this was the first book I'd read from Fae Sutherland, it definitely won't be the last!"

Cheaper eye drug proves as good as pricier oneApril 28, 2011 By MARILYNN MARCHIONE , AP Medical Writer in Medicine & Health / Medications
A new study shows that a cheaper drug for a common eye disease is as effective as a more expensive one approved for the condition.
The study found that vision improvement was the same among patients given monthly shots of Avastin (ah-VAS-tin) or Lucentis (loo-SEN-tis) for one year. The patients have an eye disease called wet macular degeneration - a common cause of blindness in the elderly.
Avastin is a cancer drug that many doctors have used to treat the eye disorder even though it wasn't approved for that use. It costs about $50 per treatment compared to $2,000 for Lucentis. Both drugs are sold by Roche's Genentech unit.
Results were published online Thursday by the New England Journal of Medicine and will be presented at a meeting on Sunday.

Hi there!
I'm interested in what kind of sports are you doing.

But I can't handle with all ball sports, like football, handball, volleyball and so on.

Backyard Chickens Elicit A "Fowl" Reaction
From WAMU 88.5 and American University in Washington, it's "The Animal House," connecting you with everything that concerns the animal world. I'm Sam Litzinger. On today's program, the daughter of an Oscar-winning filmmaker talks about her efforts to protect wildlife using the power of network television. Dr. Gary Weitzman is also here to answer your questions about pets and wildlife. First, across the country, some big city dwellers are waking to a sound like this.
The reason? An exceptional surge in backyard chicken farming in large urban areas like Washington DC. As a result, some residents are -- well, crying foul. Joining us now with more on what she called a unforeseen byproduct of the urban chicken farming boom, Washington Post Reporter, Annys Shin. Glad to have you with us in "The Animal House."
Oh, thanks for having me.
So backyard chicken farming has become kind of a trend, I guess.
Yes, definitely. Although the numbers are kind of hard to come by in terms of how many folks are doing this. It's definitely -- in terms of, you know, coops being sold and chickens being shipped out, it's definitely spreading.
Why are they doing it?
People do it because they think the eggs taste better and are more nutritious for them, and they see it as a way of saving chickens from factory -- inhumane conditions in factory farms.
Are they doing it primarily for the eggs as opposed to the chicken meat?
Yes. And this is sort of where the problem runs in with the roosters. People who are used to sort of growing up with chickens, which have told me the hens were for eggs, the roosters were for eating. But the urban chicken farmers don't seem to feel this way, and they get very attached to their chickens, so they're sort of like pets too, and they're not really comfortable with killing them.
The thing is, where they're ordering the chickens from, from these hatcheries, the hatcheries will throw in some male chicks basically just to fill out the box and, you know, the urban chicken farmer is probably not experienced enough to be able to tell the difference, and so they don't find out that it's a rooster until it starts growing. The roosters are a problem for a number of reasons though.
In addition to the sound, like for instance, there are jurisdictions here that allow hens but they don't allow roosters for that very reason, because of the noise. But then, if they're not willing to kill the animal, then, you know, they end up at shelters. Some people just let them out in the woods. I -- The reason I ended up doing this story is because on my neighborhood listserv in Silver Spring, I kept seeing emails for, you know, has anybody lost a rooster, there's one wandering around in my backyard, you know, in addition to like the lost cat, lost dog emails.
And so then I found out that part of the reason is the shelters have a hard time placing them because even the sanctuaries that take chickens can only take so many roosters because otherwise they tend to fight each other, and can be a problem.
There must be a whole new area for chicken and rooster rescue groups now.
Well, actually, the two sanctuaries that serve our area, the two mains ones, have been around since the late '80s, taking in different kinds of animal, including birds. And so they've taken -- they've accepted chickens for many years. It's only in recent years that the backyard chicken farming boon that they've had this problem where they've run out of capacity basically to take any more roosters specifically. There are many campaigns going on in pretty much every county around here, including the district, to get restrictions lifted, and, you know, the tide is generally in their favor, so this problem could definitely multiply.
Annys Shin is a reporter for The Washington Post. Thank you very much for being with us is "The Animal House."
Thanks for having me.
If you're thinking about giving your child a pet for Christmas, and a dog or a cat isn't really an option, Dr. Laurie Hess of the Veterinary Center for Birds and Exotics in Bedford, New York has a few suggestions on how to make the right choices for the child and the pet this holiday. Dr. Hess, glad to have you with us in "The Animal House."
Hi there.
I would think there's, first off, a lot of prep work involved, because the temptation may be oh, I know my niece would love some kind of little animal, but, you know, that sort of doesn't take into account the niece and the family situation and everything else. You got to think this through in other words.
Yes, you do. You really don't want to rush out. That's what people do. They rush out and they see that beautiful bird in the window, or that really cool looking reptile, and they impulse buy, and that's what we try to discourage, because reptiles and birds and other exotic pets are a lot of care and they're a responsibility and you have to think it through.
Get some information, think about whether you have the time, whether you have the space, some of the animals take up more space than others. Think about how long the animal is going to live, you know, think about the finances, how much you have available to dedicate to this pet. I actually have written a wonderful list of considerations on pethealthnetwork.com.
Talk about some of the animals that might make good pets that people may not typically think of.
Well, I think for our top choice of birds, I would recommend the Cockatiel. Cockatiels are very manageable little birds. They're very friendly, they're social. They recognize their owners. They talk a lot. They're interactive, and it's nice because they can live 20-something years. So if you want a long-term companion, it's a great bird. There's some reptiles that are terrific. We have the Bearded Dragon Lizard. It's a commonly seen lizard these days. It's very manageable for families in that it doesn't get very big. It only grows to about one or two feet long.
How much space does it need? Does it need a huge tank?
No. It doesn't need a huge tank. It needs a few feet of tank, and it needs some bedding, and it doesn't need a mate, so it's pretty simple. You do have to think about the cage and the food and all of those things though if you're getting a reptile, because some of these animals do have very specific requirements. Some of them eat rodents. Some of them eat bugs and some of them eat produce, depending upon what kind of reptile you get. Bearded Dragons are actually omnivorous, meaning they eat some bugs and they eat some produce, but you have to be willing to feed them that.
What's the best thing that a Bearded Dragon could eat in world?
Oh, probably for a Beaded Dragon it's a wax worm. It's kind of like a hot fudge sundae for us. It's fatty and delicious. (laugh) And there's a whole bunch of insects, but they need some produce too so you have to have time to, you know, go to that pet store and pick up those bugs and all that. But they're really, really useful little cute little pets, and they're interactive. They love to hang out in your lap, and they watch TV with you. And so as reptiles go, if you have an allergy or something like that to feathers or fur, reptiles are a great pet, and a Bearded Dragon is a great place to start.
Where do you get them? Are shelters a source for any of these animals? Because on this program we always encourage people to look into their local shelters for animals that need homes. Do you find that could be the case here?
Yes, definitely. Again, going back to what's right for the holidays, I mean, you do want to do that research, and you should visit the shelter or the pet store or the breeder of whatever you're getting, but you really want to do it the right way. You don't want to rush out and buy that pet, and you should probably think about it before the holiday. You want to pick, you know, a pet that's right for you. They're all great in different ways, but not every single one is great for every family.
Some really good tips. Dr. Laurie Hess operates the Veterinary Center for Birds and Exotics in Bedford, New York, and is a contributor to pethealthnetwork.com. Thank you very much for being with us is "The Animal House."
Thank you so much for having me.
For "The Animal House," I'm Michael Stein and this is BirdNote. About now, adult volunteers across Canada and America begin counting the winter birds of their area for the century old Christmas Bird Count or CBC. Their inventories provide Audubon and others in the birding community valuable information about the number and distribution of the birds.
Tom Russert and Darren Petrie of Sonoma, California, however, felt something was missing. Here's Tom.
So basically we said let's start a Christmas bird count for kids. During the holidays when families are together, and we wanted something to be almost old-fashioned, that the holiday season is not just about being in the mall. We want to celebrate the earth. We want to celebrate our feathered friends.
Now, from Alaska to Florida, communities and organizations can start or join a CBC for kids in their hometown. Young people and their parents go out for 90 minutes on a preset route.
They're moving as a team. Now, one has a recorder, one has a clipboard with the birding lesson. The parents normally hold the bird field guide. The beauty of it all is, when they come back for the tabulation celebration, and I simply ask them, how many total birds did you count, what was interesting about the habitat, and what was the coolest thing that happened today? And, I mean, these kids are just busting open, but the bottom line at the end of the day is, when the kids and their parents share the excitement of being outdoors, it changes the heartbeat of a family.
To get started, begin at birdnote.org. Tom and others are standing by to help you.
In a few moments, Dr. Gary Weitzman will join us with answers to your questions about pets and wildlife. First though, let's learn about our Animal of the Day, which is the most populace of all avian species. Its origins trace back to India where it was domesticated 4,000 years ago. Now there are 24 billion worldwide. Can you identify this species? We'll have the answer just before the end of today's program. Next week in "The Animal House," a crisis in America's animal shelters.
Eight million cats and dogs, these are our companion animals that are going into shelters every year, and the other alarming statistic is half of those are being euthanized in America's shelters. And if your shelter is full, then your community has a problem.
Award-winning filmmaker Steven Latham talks about his documentary "Shelter Me," next week in "The Animal House."

At the deepest core of Dylan's music, in all its peregrinations, is, quite simply, the blues, especially the country blues, a point Dylan punctuated with his two mid-'90s albums "Good as I Been to You" and "World Gone Wrong."
Charlie Parr's career, which goes back to the early 2000s, has always stayed close to the howling, hieratic vernacular of Furry Lewis, Son House, the Mississippi Sheiks, Dock Boggs and Dave Van Ronk. Greg Brown, another Midwestern, contemporary country blues-based musician, has sung Parr's praises.
Just listen to Parr's take on "Gospel Plow" and you'll hear why.
Recorded in a baptist church in St. Paul, Parr's new album is "Keep Your Hands on the Plow," and features the talents of fellow Minnesotans Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker (of Low), among others. It's hard-scrabble, joyous and profound -- the way country blues should be.
You can catch Charlie Parr, live in St. Louis, at Off Broadway for a 7:30 p.m. seated show on Thursday, February 2.

Decades before he would receive his Ph.D. in Medieval History with a Latin minor, Noel Delgado's childhood friends gave him the nickname, "Dr. D."
Delgado, a history and digital media teacher as well as a track coach, is credited with a multitude of accomplishments.
Originally from Union City, Delgado felt the need to do something "crazy" with his life and wanted to travel the world. So, on his 18th birthday, Delgado says he hopped on a plane headed for Parris Island, S.C. It was there that he enlisted in the Marine Corps.
"I became more mature, more disciplined and more focused," Delgado says.
After serving in the Marines for five years, Delgado earned his bachelor's degree in history/classics from San Diego State University. Then, he attended the University of Minnesota to receive his Ph.D.
"I realized I had a knack for teaching people," says Delgado, referring to when he made the decision to become a teacher.
"I like the community. I like that you get to know your students on a one-on-one basis," says Delgado, who has worked at Ranney for five years. "And I like that you get close ties with the parents and faculty, and it feels like a place where you belong."
He teaches three different classes: World Cultures, Medieval History and Digital Media. As a full-time running coach, he will be competing in the Goofy Challenge, a marathon at Disneyworld in Orlando, Fla., in January with his running team.
Delgado will be named "Dumbo" for the second year in a row after he races in the event.
"I thought being Goofy wasn't enough. I want to be a Dumbo," Delgado jokes about his upcoming trip.
Delgado has had a lasting effect on his students. "He goes off subject and incorporates jokes to allow us to understand the material better," freshman Neha Nayyar, 14, of Marlboro, says.
Nicole Auletta, 15, of Tinton Falls is a sophomore.

University of Vermont student Marley Nordmeyer of Middlebury emerges from Lake Champlain nearly as fast as she submerged Monday night while spending time at North Beach in Burlington with friend Bobby Makowski. Despite warm temperatures, the water temperature remains at a frigid 40 degrees according to the National Weather Service. / RYAN MERCER, Free Press
Burlingtons North Beach probably will be back to its normal April quiet Tuesday amid cooler temperatures, after the second bizarre spring heat wave this year brought the crowds back to the lakefront Monday.
As it was, the Monday crowds were somewhat more subdued than during the summery spell in March, possibly because of some clouds and a rising workload among college students preparing for final exams. .
The bathrooms at North Beach were open Monday, meaning nobody took furtive trips to the woods for unsanitary relief. And though the weather was even hotter in most of Vermont than it was during the March warm spell, the skies werent crystal clear and calm like they were during last months heat.
Still, the strange spectacle of dozens of beachgoers in Vermont during the early spring unfolded Monday as temperatures rose to 85 degrees, just shy of the record high of 86 for the date, recorded in 2002.
With readings forecast to remain in the 60s today and even cooler for the rest of the week, not many sunbathers are expected, said Maggie Leugers, Burlingtons Recreation Superintendent.
North Beach doesnt officially open until May 1, but workers got the plumbing working for the season and unlocked the doors in the North Beach building so people could use the facilities, Leugers said.
During the record heat in March, people thronged North Beach. Since bathrooms were closed, people used the woods, raising concerns over sanitation. Parking was snarled, too.
Crowds increased Monday at North Beach through the afternoon as sunshine intensified and people got out of school and work. Earlier in the afternoon, only a few people soaked up the rays.
I was expecting it to be a lot busier. But its a little cloudy, said Ed Tarnell, 20, squinting at a hazy sun struggling to break through a high, thin cloud cover. Tarnell, a University of Vermont student, said a lot of people have tests and are gearing up for final exams, so that might have kept the crowd down a bit.
Lucy Freeman, 20, and Emily Littler, 24, both of Burlington, also soaked up the weak sun. We dont need to go back to winter, Freeman said, emphatic about her lack of desire for more chilly weather.
Members of the UVM Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity trickled onto North Beach as classes ended for the day. Its going to be grill and chill, basically, said Tom Bazzano, the president of the chapter and a UVM junior. He said the fraternity is holding brotherhood events this week in which members get together and socialize. Bazzano said since the weather was so nice, the beach seemed a natural gathering place.
Lucy Dey Reid of Jericho and Susan Funkhouser of Williston, with six children between them, staked a spot on North Beach for the day. The kids are all home schooled, so their schedule is flexible. Plus, Luke Reid celebrated his 10th birthday Monday, and that called for a rare beach celebration.
Reid said it was great the bathrooms were open a lifesaver for a family. And she noted a Burlington Parks and Recreation Department employee emptying garbage cans and putting fresh trash bags in them . Theyve done a good job cleaning it up, Reid said.
North Beach was the coolest place in town Monday because, unlike during the March hot spell, a strong wind blew directly onto the beach, drawing lake-cooled air across the sand. Reid said the thermometer in her car registered 80 degrees as she left her Jericho home, and 68 degrees as she parked near the lake.
Leugers said that until North Beach officially opens, people who want to go there must park at Leddy Park and walk along the bike path to the beach. Concession stands will also remain closed until after May 1, she said.

SyFy Movie Update: Frost Giant Starring …
Ok everyone; I hope you're sitting down for this one. We already know about and are excited about the upcoming SyFy Channel flick SHARKTOPUS (being released later this summer). We know and we're all excited. But now I just got word that the SyFy Channel is making a movie called FROST GIANT. If you're like me (and god help you if you are), you'll spend way too much time wondering what the creature will look like. Is it some previously thought extinct creature that's released from the ice a la GODZILLA? Nope. Is it some kind of Yeti creature grown to a ridiculous size due to global warming? Not even close. The creature … well I don't wanna ruin it for ya. Click HERE to see the clips (sorry to redirect you, but WordPress is kind of a pain in the ass when it comes to embedding video clips):
So there ya have it; the creature isn't something released FROM the ice; the creature IS the ice itself!! Is there nothing the SyFy Channel won't air?? But, so help me, it looks pretty damn fun. And who, pray tell, will be the star of this chilling mess? Why none other than ex-TV Superman himself, DEAN CAIN. How could this one NOT be fun. It's slated to be aired August 7th, 9/8 Central and is directed by Víctor García (RETURN TO HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL) and is written by Rafael Jordan (YETI: CURSE OF THE SNOW DEMON). I can't find an official plot summary, but from the above clips it looks like a group of treasure hunters are looking for gold in a left over set from THE THING PREQUEL and they accidentally unleash the titular creature. Actually I'm pretty certain there's absolutely nothing more to it than that!!
I'll keep ya updated as more info becomes available.
Stay Bloody!!!
Comments9 Responses to "SyFy Movie Update: Frost Giant Starring …"
Hahahaha…. I am just dying! I'm waiting for Lance Henrickson and Dean Cain to do a flick together–do you think they can get their two fav's together in a flick? Killer ice–the only thing funnier is if it were in a glass of disaronno. You know me, buddy. I'm all over that one! I wouldn't miss it for anything. My stomach muscles are hurting in anticipation of the laughs.
You are certainly right, What won't the syfy channel air? That channel is so bizzare for me because they show some great things (like their twilight zone marathon around new year's) and then they make weird, funny movies that are not supposed to be funny (like this frost giant). I am always so torn whether to turn the channel or watch for the comedic relief! Oh syfy, why do you confuse me so? Although this project at least seems original! At least, I've never seen a movie about killer (walking!) ice! I just may watch this one!
This is a really cool blog. The Founder of PREHISTORIC CHANNEL just wrote his first thriller book. "THE ICE GORILLA" is now in bookstores and being looked at by movie executives in order to try and make it into a movie. Book sales will heavily determine if THE ICE GORILLA will eventually be made into a movie. Help spread the word about this cool book and lets see if we can get THE ICE GORILLA into movie theaters.

Hey there Laker fans. We are approaching the beginning of training camp and the beginning of the season. Im sure we are all looking forward to it. In my effort to recharge the brain for another run at a title and another season of debating the NBA laker style I have stayed out of the mix. But, how could I not blog about this? Im sure by now all of you have heard what Doc Rivers had to say about the Lakers. If you didnt, allow me to fill you in. Mr. Rivers stated that the Lakers starting lineup is still 0-1 in the finals VS Boston because the Celtics did not have perkins in game 7. First of all, Doc, why dont you give credit where credit is due?? Yet again Doc proves that the Celtics as an organization is completely classless and babyish. In 2008 the lakers did not have Andrew Bynum or Trevor Ariza, yet you didnt hear anyone from the Lakers front office or any players making excuses. I for one am not real surprised by this. Doc has always been a whiny baby. I have never seen a coach whine to the refs more than doc.
Memo to Doc: The next time you want to run your mouth and make excuses make sure that the excuse your making doesnt apply to the team your making it about. If you want to get technical doc its 0-0 in the NBA finals in regards to starting lineups. In 2008 we didnt have drew and in game 7 of 2010 you didnt have perk. So why dont we just call it 1-1, you give your props and move on? Oh thats right, because your part of the celtics organization, the one that has no class, has to whine and make excuses and the organization and fan base that feels entitled and feels cheated if they lose a game. See you in the finals again, Boston. Oh thats right, you wont be there because more than likely Miami will run you over. What a joke. Cant wait for the season to start. It makes my hate for the celtics and Boston in general grow even more. LAKERS IN 2011!!

What up B?! Nice to see you still bringing it in Blog-Land.
I always detest when players and particulalry coaches engage in any excuse making, but to be honest I gave Doc more credit than to say something like this. Boston and their fans were more than happy to take credit(and deservedly so)for the drubbing they gave the Lakers in Boston in Game 6 of the 2008 Finals-but Doc's not willing to give credit for 2010's champs? It just shows that the C's are not any more gracious when they lose than they are when they win.
But it's all good, B-With Lakers locked and re-loaded I say to all the other NBA teams out there-

Still standing there now Where is everyone?
Might be able to miss out that little section on the way out & use the main road once the new A465 is fully open, not so easy on the way back though, so yes might be there again. hoping to perhaps get a parking restriction on the hill which would make it a lot tidier for you guys. Fingers crossed.. (But I'll get it in the neck from the neighbours then, bloody cyclists )
Worked out OK in the end. Glad to cheer on the pirates racing, assume you were one of those Duda. I was stationed on the turn in & out at Beaufort sending you out across the moors & welcoming you back to civilization. Hope you enjoyed it.
Bigger next year according to James & entry already opened!!!!(?)
Come up to Usk on a Friday evening, or any time you fancy, the river is open 24/7 & free. Fridays group normally includes quite a few NEWTs the Newport tri club. Are you on Facebook? join the South Wales outdoor swimming page, posts on there of various swims.
Barry, the main beach (Whitmore Bay) is great on an incoming tide.
IronCat5 can I ask a favour please, that you edit the post above. That venue is not open.
Thought it was just me. Didn't realise we were all drifting out here in cyber space unconnected. Just saw a comment from La Marquise, so realised something was up. Are we doomed? Will we all have to race in yellow?
Told yesterday by the organiser that the race is already half full & he's confident of a sell out.
He is also looking at getting the run course accurately measured and certified as a full half marathon.

Lenovo has officially launched a new 11.6-inch IdeaPad notebook in Japan, the U150. The portable is one of Lenovo's first CULV systems and runs a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor with 2GB of RAM.

Otherwise, the U150 sports Wi-Fi, a gigabit Ethernet port and Bluetooth 2.1. There is also a 1.3-megapixel webcam, two USB-only ports, one eSATA/USB combo port and both HDMI as well as VGA video output. The touchpad supports multiple simultaneous inputs, while the six-cell battery is said to provide seven hours of operation. The notebook weighs 3.3lbs.
While pricing is left open, the Lenovo IdeaPad U150 is now shipping in Japan. [via Netbooked]
