Bug love: Paxton Gate's insect mounting class
Say that this morning, as you swept aside your window-sash, eager to let in the "warm" summer breezes that are so characteristic of late July in San Francisco, you saw there on your sill a fuzzy little bumblebee – dead, but for all the world looking like the embodiment of the grassy field and sunflower days of your youth. Now. Have you the instinct to preserve the furry fella in, say a diorama also featuring a map of your childhood favorite municipal park and a cut out image of you at eight, perhaps attired in a swatch of that kitty cat dress you couldn't bear to be apart from at the time? (Just sayin'.) If that sounds apt, have the local horticulture-taxidermy enthusiasts down at Paxton Gate got a class for you!
In fact, they've had a class for you for awhile now – at least as long as teacher Zenaida Sengo has been teaching the store's weekly insect spreading courses. "People love the class," she told me over the phone. "Not only do they take away a skill they want to use for their art, but they really seem to bond with each other. You're sharing a very obscure fascination -- you don't meet people that often that have that fascination for spreading insects."
Indeed. But Sengo says she's approached on a regular basis by customers in the store – which, among rare plants and stones, sells taxidermied mice in papal costumes and an impressive rainbow of bugs winged and not winged -- who want to immortalize a pretty bee they found on their windowsill, or a creepy crawly that caught their eye hiking.
She's found that these encounters have happened more and more over the past few years, corresponding with a rise in Paxton Gate's popularity that she attributes to increased awareness about the environment and natural world. When a particularly inquistive patron comes her way, she points them to the classes, which have the dual benefit of saving insect enthusiasts some cash on professional mounting (ha!), and involving participants more deeply in the nature around them.
It's a rarefied setting, these courses. Take one, and you will be supplied with all the supplies needed to mount two new friends: a butterfly and a beetle, both of which are introduced to your care for the price of the class. Paxton Gate hopes to debut more subjects in their catalog shortly in response to customer questions about horticulture – orchid mounting and terrarium building are two that come to Sengo's mind as possible future educational adventures.
Sengo herself came to Paxton Gate with horticulture experience alone but grew into the store's unique creature comforts over time, appreciative of the intensively technical, detailed work that is incurred in the spreading, mounting, and pinning of insects. She's even integrated the buggies into her art outside the store. Peruse her artist website and what surfaces are lucid dreamy, half-finished portraiture and half-animal, half-human forms – but she's also soaked insects in water to make them pliable enough to pose in domestic settings.
Throughout the Valencia Street store Sengo's sets are in evidence – beetles clinging to sticks encased in sheltering belljars, seemingly about to take off in flight. She hopes that this sort of visual stimulation brings more bug fans to the store's classes. "Insects are beautiful animals. There's not a large percentage of people that see that, but for the ones that do they're very special."

Egypt (Western Thebes), see map p. xvi. Palace of Amenophis III (c. 1417-1379 BC), which used to be linked by a causeway to the now vanished mortuary temple of the same king.
Various separate buildings (a temple of Amun, an audience pavilion, residential quarters etc) were grouped parallel to each other, except for the more loosely spaced buildings in the so-called 'West city', where irregularities in the terrain had to be taken account of. Blocks of smaller buildings for workmen or personnel stood between them and the Western Gate. The palaces (eg the Southern Palace) feature rectangular columned halls used as throne rooms or reception rooms, which were surrounded on each side by a suite of three rooms thought to be reserved for the royal ladies. The decoration of the interior palace walls is preserved in some places; the plastered mudbrick walls and ceilings were painted with ornamental borders which surrounded larger compositions of animals, plants and divine figures. The space between the main buildings and the outer enclosure wall was taken up by gardens and pavilions.
mamissi or birth house
A small chapel with plant-columns found in some Egyptian temple precincts. They represent the 'house' where the god (and by correlation the pharaoh) was born and reared. This clear reference to domestic architecture is emphasised by a comparatively light structure and easier access than in the large temples. Only late examples (from the Graeco-Roman period) built in stone have survived; they were probably built of more impermanent materials, like plant bundles and matting, or timber, in previous times.
The usual emplacement is at right angles to the main temple. Simple single-roomed chapels eventually developed into more elaborate structures with vestibules, store rooms and shrines. The mamissis at PHILAE and EDFU were surrounded by a colonnade, while those at KARNAK (temple of Mut), the older one at DENDERA, and the one at KOM OMBO had no external ambulatory. The roof of the colonnade can be higher than the one of the inner sanctuary, providing thus a secondary 'lid' of a box-like structure.

Hi All,
I am very new to cadence. I get a lot of warning messages while running layoutPlus saying
1. "No application registered for prefix Virtuoso Preview"
2 "No application registered for prefix floor plan hierarchy browser"
this only happens when i start layoutplus with the new 130nm library that i got for my thesis. however it doesnt happen with a relatively old 0.35u library.
Apart from this I tried following the cell_design tutorial for layouts. Everything works fine until i reach LVS. The LVS check just says that it failed, but when i go to open the output file it says it cant find or read si.out.
Please Help
The "layoutPlus" executable does not include the Preview / Floorplan capabilities, so you will need to use "icfb" with this library - presumably, either the library (through a libInit.il file) or a.cdsinit file is loading some SKILL that uses one or more of the Preview SKILL functions (e.g. functions with a prefix of "adp").

Article: Late time multi wavelength observations of Swift J1644+5734: A luminous optical/IR bump and quiescent X-ray emission[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present late-time multi-wavelength observations of Swift J1644+57, suggested to be a relativistic tidal disruption flare (TDF). Our observations extend to >4 years from discovery, and show that 1.4 years after outburst the relativistic jet switched-off on a timescale less than tens of days, corresponding to a power-law decay faster than $t^{-70}$. Beyond this point weak X-rays continue to be detected at an approximately constant luminosity of $L_X \sim 5 \times 10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$, and are marginally inconsistent with a continuing decay of $t^{-5/3}$, similar to that seen prior to the switch-off. Host photometry enables us to infer a black hole mass of $M_{BH}=3 \times 10^6$ M$_{\odot}$, consistent with the late time X-ray luminosity arising from sub-Eddington accretion onto the black hole in the form of either an unusually optically faint AGN or a slowly varying phase of the transient. Optical/IR observations show a clear bump in the light curve at timescales of 30-50 days, with a peak magnitude (corrected for host galaxy extinction) of $M_R \sim -22-23$. The luminosity of the bump is significantly higher than seen in other, non-relativistic TDFs and does not match any re-brightening seen at X-ray or radio wavelengths. Its luminosity, light curve shape and spectrum are broadly similar to those seen in superluminous SNe, although subject to large uncertainties in the correction of the significant host extinction. We discuss these observations in the context of both TDF and massive star origins for Swift J1644+5734 and other candidate relativistic tidal flares.
Article: The H.E.S.S. II GRB Program[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are some of the most energetic and exotic events in the Universe, however their behaviour at the highest energies (>10 GeV) is largely unknown. Although the Fermi-LAT space telescope has detected several GRBs in this energy range, it is limited by the relatively small collection area of the instrument. The H.E.S.S. experiment has now entered its second phase by adding a fifth telescope of 600 m$^{2}$ mirror area to the centre of the array. This new telescope increases the energy range of the array, allowing it to probe the sub-100 GeV range while maintaining the large collection area of ground based gamma-ray observatories, essential to probing short-term variability at these energies. We will present a description of the GRB observation scheme used by the H.E.S.S. experiment, summarising the behaviour and performance of the rapid GRB repointing system, the conditions under which potential GRB repointings are made and the data analysis scheme used for these observations.

ABSTRACT: We present the Micro-channel X-ray Telescope (MXT), a new narrow-field (about 1{\deg}) telescope that will be flying on the Sino-French SVOM mission dedicated to Gamma-Ray Burst science, scheduled for launch in 2021. MXT is based on square micro pore optics (MPOs), coupled with a low noise CCD. The optics are based on a "Lobster Eye" design, while the CCD is a focal plane detector similar to the type developed for the seven eROSITA telescopes. MXT is a compact and light (<35 kg) telescope with a 1 m focal length, and it will provide an effective area of about 45 cmsq on axis at 1 keV. The MXT PSF is expected to be better than 4.2 arc min (FWHM) ensuring a localization accuracy of the afterglows of the SVOM GRBs to better than 1 arc min (90\% c.l. with no systematics) provided MXT data are collected within 5 minutes after the trigger. The MXT sensitivity will be adequate to detect the afterglows for almost all the SVOM GRBs as well as to perform observations of non-GRB astrophysical objects. These performances are fully adapted to the SVOM science goals, and prove that small and light telescopes can be used for future small X-ray missions.

ABSTRACT: Einstein Probe is a small mission dedicated to time-domain high-energy astrophysics. Its primary goals are to discover high-energy transients and to monitor variable objects in the $0.5-4~$keV X-rays, at higher sensitivity by one order of magnitude than those of the ones currently in orbit. Its wide-field imaging capability, featuring a large instantaneous field-of-view ($60^\circ \times60^\circ$, $\sim1.1$sr), is achieved by using established technology of micro-pore (MPO) lobster-eye optics, thereby offering unprecedentedly high sensitivity and large Grasp. To complement this powerful monitoring ability, it also carries a narrow-field, sensitive follow-up X-ray telescope based on the same MPO technology to perform follow-up observations of newly-discovered transients. Public transient alerts will be downlinked rapidly, so as to trigger multi-wavelength follow-up observations from the world-wide community. Over three of its 97-minute orbits almost the entire night sky will be sampled, with cadences ranging from 5 to 25 times per day. The scientific objectives of the mission are: to discover otherwise quiescent black holes over all astrophysical mass scales by detecting their rare X-ray transient flares, particularly tidal disruption of stars by massive black holes at galactic centers; to detect and precisely locate the electromagnetic sources of gravitational-wave transients; to carry out systematic surveys of X-ray transients and characterize the variability of X-ray sources. Einstein Probe has been selected as a candidate mission of priority (no further selection needed) in the Space Science Programme of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, aiming for launch around 2020.
Article: Optimisation of the Swift X-ray follow-up of Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave triggers in 2015--16[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One of the most exciting near-term prospects in physics is the potential discovery of gravitational waves by the advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors. To maximise both the confidence of the detection and the science return, it is essential to identify an electromagnetic counterpart. This is not trivial, as the events are expected to be poorly localised, particularly in the near-term, with error regions covering hundreds or even thousands of square degrees. In this paper we discuss the prospects for finding an X-ray counterpart to a gravitational wave trigger with the Swift X-ray Telescope, using the assumption that the trigger is caused by a binary neutron star merger which also produces a short gamma-ray burst. We show that it is beneficial to target galaxies within the GW error region, highlighting the need for substantially complete galaxy catalogues out to distances of 300 Mpc. We also show that nearby, on-axis short GRBs are either extremely rare, or are systematically less luminous than those detected to date. We consider the prospects for detecting afterglow emission from an an off-axis GRB which triggered the GW facilities, finding that the detectability, and the best time to look, are strongly dependent on the characteristics of the burst such as circumburst density and our viewing angle.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 06/2015; 455(2).

ABSTRACT: The evolution of galaxies is connected to the growth of supermassive black holes in their centers. During the quasar phase, a huge luminosity is released as matter falls onto the black hole, and radiation-driven winds can transfer most of this energy back to the host galaxy. Over five different epochs, we detected the signatures of a nearly spherical stream of highly ionized gas in the broadband x-ray spectra of the luminous quasar PDS 456. This persistent wind is expelled at relativistic speeds from the inner accretion disk, and its wide aperture suggests an effective coupling with the ambient gas. The outflow's kinetic power larger than 10(46) ergs per second is enough to provide the feedback required by models of black hole and host galaxy coevolution.

ABSTRACT: Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are a powerful probe of the high-redshift Universe. We present a tool to estimate the detection rate of high-z GRBs by a generic detector with defined energy band and sensitivity. We base this on a population model that reproduces the observed properties of GRBs detected by Swift, Fermi and CGRO in the hard X-ray and γ-ray bands. We provide the expected cumulative distributions of the flux and fluence of simulated GRBs in different energy bands. We show that scintillator detectors, operating at relatively high energies (e.g. tens of keV to the MeV), can detect only the most luminous GRBs at high redshifts due to the link between the peak spectral energy and the luminosity (Epeak–Liso) of GRBs. We show that the best strategy for catching the largest number of high-z bursts is to go softer (e.g. in the soft X-ray band) but with a very high sensitivity. For instance, an imaging soft X-ray detector operating in the 0.2–5 keV energy band reaching a sensitivity, corresponding to a fluence, of ∼10−8 erg cm−2 is expected to detect ≈40 GRBs yr−1 sr−1 at z ≥ 5 (≈3 GRBs yr−1 sr−1 at z ≥ 10). Once high-z GRBs are detected the principal issue is to secure their redshift. To this aim we estimate their NIR afterglow flux at relatively early times and evaluate the effectiveness of following them up and construct usable samples of events with any forthcoming GRB mission dedicated to explore the high-z Universe.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 02/2015; 448(3).

Article: A Multiwavelength Study of the Relativistic Tidal Disruption Candidate Sw J2058+05 at Late Times[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: ${\it Swift}$ J2058.4+0516 (Sw J2058+05, hereafter) has been suggested as the second member (after Sw J1644+57) of the rare class of tidal disruption events accompanied by relativistic ejecta. Here we report a multiwavelength (X-ray, ultraviolet/optical/infrared, radio) analysis of Sw J2058+05 from 3 months to 3 yr post-discovery in order to study its properties and compare its behavior with that of Sw J1644+57. Our main results are as follows. (1) The long-term X-ray light curve of Sw J2058+05 shows a remarkably similar trend to that of Sw J1644+57. After a prolonged power-law decay, the X-ray flux drops off rapidly by a factor of $\gtrsim 160$ within a span of $\Delta$$t$/$t$ $\le$ 0.95. Associating this sudden decline with the transition from super-Eddington to sub-Eddington accretion, we estimate the black hole mass to be in the range of $10^{4-6}$ M$_{\odot}$. (2) We detect rapid ($\lesssim 500$ s) X-ray variability before the dropoff, suggesting that, even at late times, the X-rays originate from close to the black hole (ruling out a forward-shock origin). (3) We confirm using ${\it HST}$ and VLBA astrometry that the location of the source coincides with the galaxy's center to within $\lesssim 400$ pc (in projection). (4) We modeled Sw J2058+05's ultraviolet/optical/infrared spectral energy distribution with a single-temperature blackbody and find that while the radius remains more or less constant at a value of $63.4 \pm 4.5$ AU ($\sim 10^{15}$ cm) at all times during the outburst, the blackbody temperature drops significantly from $\sim$ 30,000 K at early times to a value of $\sim$ 15,000 K at late times (before the X-ray dropoff). Our results strengthen Sw J2058+05's interpretation as a tidal disruption event similar to Sw J1644+57. For such systems, we suggest the rapid X-ray dropoff as a diagnostic for black hole mass.The Astrophysical Journal 02/2015; 805(1). DOI:10.1088/0004-637X/805/1/68 · 5.99 Impact Factor

Article: Broadband modelling of short gamma-ray bursts with energy injection from magnetar spin-down and its implications for radio detectability[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The magnetar model has been proposed to explain the apparent energy injection in the X-ray light curves of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), but its implications across the full broadband spectrum are not well explored. We investigate the broadband modelling of four SGRBs with evidence for energy injection in their X-ray light curves, applying a physically motivated model in which a newly-formed magnetar injects energy into a forward shock as it loses angular momentum along open field lines. By performing an order of magnitude search for the underlying physical parameters in the blast wave, we constrain the characteristic break frequencies of the synchrotron spectrum against their manifestations in the available multi-wavelength observations for each burst. The application of the magnetar energy injection profile restricts the succesful matches to a limited family of models that are self-consistent within the magnetic dipole spin-down framework. Because of this, we are able to produce synthetic light curves that describe how the radio signatures of these SGRBs ought to have looked at a variety of frequencies, given the restrictions imposed by the available data. We discuss the detectability of these signatures in the context of present day and near future radio telescopes. Our results show that previous observations were not deep enough to place meaningful constraints on the model, but that both ALMA and the upgraded VLA are now sensitive enough to detect the radio signature within two weeks of trigger in most SGRBs, assuming our sample is representative of the population as a whole. We also find that the upcoming Square Kilometer Array will be sensitive to depths greater than those of our lower limit predictions.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 11/2014; 448(1).

ABSTRACT: We present the Microchannel X-ray Telescope, a new light and compact focussing telescope that will be flying on the Sino-French SVOM mission dedicated to Gamma-Ray Burst science. The MXT design is based on the coupling of square pore micro-channel plates with a low noise pnCCD. MXT will provide an effective area of about 50 cmsq, and its point spread function is expected to be better than 3.7 arc min (FWHM) on axis. The estimated sensitivity is adequate to detect all the afterglows of the SVOM GRBs, and to localize them to better then 60 arc sec after five minutes of observation.Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 07/2014; 9144.

Article: Constraining properties of GRB magnetar central engines using the observed plateau luminosity and duration correlation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An intrinsic correlation has been identified between the luminosity and duration of plateaus in the X-ray afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs; Dainotti et al. 2008), suggesting a central engine origin. The magnetar central engine model predicts an observable plateau phase, with plateau durations and luminosities being determined by the magnetic fields and spin periods of the newly formed magnetar. This paper analytically shows that the magnetar central engine model can explain, within the 1$\sigma$ uncertainties, the correlation between plateau luminosity and duration. The observed scatter in the correlation most likely originates in the spread of initial spin periods of the newly formed magnetar and provides an estimate of the maximum spin period of ~35 ms (assuming a constant mass, efficiency and beaming across the GRB sample). Additionally, by combining the observed data and simulations, we show that the magnetar emission is most likely narrowly beamed and has $\lesssim$20% efficiency in conversion of rotational energy from the magnetar into the observed plateau luminosity. The beaming angles and efficiencies obtained by this method are fully consistent with both predicted and observed values. We find that Short GRBs and Short GRBs with Extended Emission lie on the same correlation but are statistically inconsistent with being drawn from the same distribution as Long GRBs, this is consistent with them having a wider beaming angle than Long GRBs.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 07/2014; 443(2).

Article: Search for TeV gamma-ray emission from GRB 100621A, an extremely bright GRB in X-rays, with H.E.S.S.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 100621A, at the time the brightest X-ray transient ever detected by Swift-XRT in the $0.3\textrm{--}10$ keV range, has been observed with the H.E.S.S. imaging air Cherenkov telescope array, sensitive to gamma radiation in the very-high-energy (VHE, $>100$ GeV) regime. Due to its relatively small redshift of $z\sim0.5$, the favourable position in the southern sky and the relatively short follow-up time ($<700 \rm{s}$ after the satellite trigger) of the H.E.S.S. observations, this GRB could be within the sensitivity reach of the H.E.S.S. instrument. The analysis of the H.E.S.S. data shows no indication of emission and yields an integral flux upper limit above $\sim$380 GeV of $4.2\times10^{-12} \rm cm^{-2}s^{-1}$ (95 % confidence level), assuming a simple Band function extension model. A comparison to a spectral-temporal model, normalised to the prompt flux at sub-MeV energies, constraints the existence of a temporally extended and strong additional hard power law, as has been observed in the other bright X-ray GRB 130427A. A comparison between the H.E.S.S. upper limit and the contemporaneous energy output in X-rays constrains the ratio between the X-ray and VHE gamma-ray fluxes to be greater than 0.4. This value is an important quantity for modelling the afterglow and can constrain leptonic emission scenarios, where leptons are responsible for the X-ray emission and might produce VHE gamma rays.Astronomy and Astrophysics 05/2014; 565.

ABSTRACT: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are most probably powered by collimated relativistic outflows (jets) from accreting black holes at cosmological distances. Bright afterglows are produced when the outflow collides with the ambient medium. Afterglow polarization directly probes the magnetic properties of the jet when measured minutes after the burst, and it probes the geometric properties of the jet and the ambient medium when measured hours to days after the burst. High values of optical polarization detected minutes after the burst of GRB 120308A indicate the presence of large-scale ordered magnetic fields originating from the central engine (the power source of the GRB). Theoretical models predict low degrees of linear polarization and no circular polarization at late times, when the energy in the original ejecta is quickly transferred to the ambient medium and propagates farther into the medium as a blast wave. Here we report the detection of circularly polarized light in the afterglow of GRB 121024A, measured 0.15 days after the burst. We show that the circular polarization is intrinsic to the afterglow and unlikely to be produced by dust scattering or plasma propagation effects. A possible explanation is to invoke anisotropic (rather than the commonly assumed isotropic) electron pitch-angle distributions, and we suggest that new models are required to produce the complex microphysics of realistic shocks in relativistic jets.Nature 04/2014; 509(7499).

ABSTRACT: The first gravitational-wave (GW) observations will greatly benefit, or even depend on, the detection of coincident electromagnetic counterparts. These counterparts will similarly enhance the scientific impact of later detections. Electromagnetic follow-ups can be, nevertheless, challenging for GW event candidates with poorly reconstructed directions. Localization can be inefficient in several important scenarios: (i) in the early advanced detector era, only the two LIGO observatories will be operating; (ii) later, even with more observatories, the detectors' sensitivity will probably be non-uniform; (iii) the first events, as well as a significant fraction of later events, will likely occur near the detectors' horizon distance, where they are only marginally detectable, having low signal-to-noise ratios. In these scenarios, the precision of localization can be severely limited. Follow-up observations will need to cover hundreds to thousands of square degrees of the sky over a limited period of time, reducing the list of suitable follow-up telescopes or telescope networks. Compact binary mergers, the most anticipated sources for the first GW observations, will be detectable via advanced LIGO/Virgo from hundreds of megaparsecs, setting the scale to the sensitivity required from follow-up observatories. We demonstrate that the Cherenkov Telescope Array will be capable of following up GW event candidates over the required large sky area with sufficient sensitivity to detect short gamma-ray bursts, which are thought to originate from compact binary mergers, out to the horizon distance of advanced LIGO/Virgo. CTA can therefore be invaluable starting with the first multimessenger detections, even with poorly reconstructed GW source directions. This scenario also provides a further scientific incentive for GW observatories to further decrease the delay of their event reconstruction.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 03/2014; 443(1).

Article: GRB 130925A: an ultra-long Gamma Ray Burst with a dust-echo afterglow, and implications for the origin of the ultra-long GRBs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: GRB~130925A was an unusual GRB, consisting of 3 distinct episodes of high-energy emission spanning $\sim$20 ks, making it a member of the proposed category of `ultra-long' bursts. It was also unusual in that its late-time X-ray emission observed by \swift\ was very soft, and showed a strong hard-to-soft spectral evolution with time. This evolution, rarely seen in GRB afterglows, can be well modelled as the dust-scattered echo of the prompt emission, with stringent limits on the contribution from the normal afterglow (i.e. external shock) emission. We consider and reject the possibility that GRB~130925A was some form of tidal disruption event, and instead show that if the circumburst density around GRB~130925A is low, the long duration of the burst and faint external shock emission are naturally explained. Indeed, we suggest that the ultra-long GRBs as a class can be explained as those with low circumburst densities, such that the deceleration time (at which point the material ejected from the nascent black hole is decelerated by the circumburst medium) is $\sim$20 ks, as opposed to a few hundred seconds for the normal long GRBs.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 03/2014; 444(1).

ABSTRACT: We present evidence for the rapid variability of the high-velocity iron K-shell absorption in the nearby (z = 0.184) quasar PDS 456. From a recent long Suzaku observation in 2013 (~1 Ms effective duration), we find that the equivalent width of iron K absorption increases by a factor of ~5 during the observation, increasing from <105 eV within the first 100 ks of the observation, toward a maximum depth of ~500 eV near the end. The implied outflow velocity of ~0.25 c is consistent with that claimed from earlier (2007, 2011) Suzaku observations. The absorption varies on timescales as short as ~1 week. We show that this variability can be equally well attributed to either (1) an increase in column density, plausibly associated with a clumpy time-variable outflow, or (2) the decreasing ionization of a smooth homogeneous outflow which is in photo-ionization equilibrium with the local photon field. The variability allows a direct measure of absorber location, which is constrained to within r = 200-3500 r g of the black hole. Even in the most conservative case, the kinetic power of the outflow is 6% of the Eddington luminosity, with a mass outflow rate in excess of ~40% of the Eddington accretion rate. The wind momentum rate is directly equivalent to the Eddington momentum rate which suggests that the flow may have been accelerated by continuum scattering during an episode of Eddington-limited accretion.The Astrophysical Journal 02/2014; 784(1).

ABSTRACT: A significant proportion ($\sim30\%$) of the short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) localised by Swift have no detected host galaxy coincident with the burst location to deep limits, and also no high-likelihood association with proximate galaxies on the sky. These SGRBs may represent a population at moderately high redshifts ($z\gtrsim1$), for which the hosts are faint, or a population where the progenitor has been kicked far from its host or is sited in an outlying globular cluster. We consider the afterglow and host observations of three 'hostless' bursts (GRBs 090305A, 091109B and 111020A), coupled with a new observational diagnostic to aid the association of SGRBs with putative host galaxies to investigate this issue. Considering the well localised SGRB sample, 7/25 SGRBs can be classified as 'hostless' by our diagnostic. Statistically, however, the proximity of these seven SGRBs to nearby galaxies is higher than is seen for random positions on the sky. This suggests that the majority of 'hostless' SGRBs have likely been kicked from proximate galaxies at moderate redshift. Though this result still suggests only a small proportion of SGRBs will be within the AdLIGO horizon for NS-NS or NS-BH inspiral detection ($z\sim0.1$), in the particular case of GRB 111020A a plausible host candidate is at $z=0.02$.Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 02/2014; 437(2).

ABSTRACT: At low redshift, a handful of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been discovered with peak luminosities ($L_{\rm iso} < 10^{48.5}~\rm{erg\,s}^{-1}$) substantially lower than the average of the more distant ones ($L_{\rm iso} > 10^{49.5}~\rm{erg\,s}^{-1}$). The properties of several low-luminosity (low-$L$) GRBs indicate that they can be due to shock break-out, as opposed to the emission from ultrarelativistic jets. Owing to this, it is highly debated how both populations are connected, and whether there is a continuum between them. The burst at redshift $z=0.283$ from 2012 April 22 is one of the very few examples of intermediate-$L$ GRBs with a $\gamma$-ray luminosity of $L\sim10^{48.9}~\rm{erg\,s}^{-1}$ that have been detected up to now. Together with the robust detection of its accompanying supernova SN 2012bz, it has the potential to answer important questions on the origin of low- and high-$L$ GRBs and the GRB-SN connection. We carried out a spectroscopy campaign using medium- and low-resolution spectrographs at 6--10-m class telescopes, covering the time span of 37.3 days, and a multi-wavelength imaging campaign from radio to X-ray energies over a duration of $\sim270$ days. Furthermore, we used a tuneable filter centred at H$\alpha$ to map star formation in the host galaxy and the surrounding galaxies. We used these data to extract and model the properties of different radiation components and incorporate spectral-energy-distribution fitting techniques to extract the properties of the host galaxy. Modelling the light curve and spectral energy distribution from the radio to the X-rays revealed the blast-wave to expand with an initial Lorentz factor of $\Gamma_0\sim60$, low for a high-$L$ GRB, and that the afterglow had an exceptional low peak luminosity-density of $\lesssim2\times10^{30}~\rm{erg\,s}^{-1}\,\rm{Hz}^{-1}$ in the sub-mm.

Agreed on pretty much every point.
I made one similar point in a letter to the STC production: stop trying to connect the dots. I made a point of saying, alright you've included a couple of TNG elements now leave it at that and do things the TOS way as if the other productions never happened.
Keep writing us. We appreciate getting word back from those who watch. Remember, we are fans just like you doing this out of passion for the show. Thank you for the kind words - and the critical ones.
I'll reiterate that I loved it on so many levels, and the oberservations I have are out of a love for TOS and a great respect for what you folks are doing. And you are doing far more right than the few critiques I could make.

Bones should be spanked for not volunteering that he could inoculate the crew. Way to blow it, Doc.
In fairness McCoy had also been exposed to Lolani's pheramones so he mightn't have been thinking too clearly himself.
I didn't much care for Kirk kneeling to make nice with Lolani. I thought that was out of character. And the more I think of it, with all due respect to the McKennah character, Uhura as the go-between with Lolani would have been more dramtically effective. In the '60s Uhura was a huge symbol of how far things could change for blacks. Seeing
reaching out to Lolani representing another race being exploited and abused would have been really poignant.

Want a great idea for a new promotional giveaway or design product to add to your repertoire? Design a bookplate sticker!
Bookplates are those cool rectangular stickers that you attach to the endpapers of the front of a book and write your name on. This way everyone knows it's your book from your personal library.
Bookplates are also historically know as "ex libris," which is Latin for "from the library of" or "from the books of." Many bookplate designs will use the phrase "ex libris" as a text header or a design element.
Growing up, I remember first encountering bookplates or the idea of them in my Little Golden Books, such as the "Tawny Scrawny Lion" (shown at right). In the front of each Little Golden Book there was a box that said, "This book belongs to:" and a space to write your name. As an aspiring reader, I truly enjoyed scrawling my name in crayon in the front of those books!
If you'd like to offer custom bookplate design as a service, (they make really nice housewarming or wedding gifts) or if you want to create bookplates as a self promotion piece, keep these three bookplate design tips in mind:
1. Go old school
According to Wikipedia.org, bookplates were used way back in the 1300s by the Egyptians, throughout the Middle Ages and into Elizabethan times. Many early bookplate designs featured the book owner's motto, coat of arms, crest or other identifying badge. To create an old-school bookplate, try making a crest out of your business logo, or "Latinizing" your business tagline. For inspiration, check out Happy Menocal's custom heraldry illustrations. Menocal is a fine artist and illustrator who offers an amazing custom crest design service.
2. Use matte paper
To create a sophisticated piece that works for even the most snobby bibliophiles (those folks who collect hardcovers from Everyman's Library or the new Penguin Classics), use matte paper. Matte paper will work with most publications' endpapers. You don't want to overpower the book design with a glossy sticker. Matte paper is also much easier for the user to write their name on.
3. Get the format right
A good standard size for bookplate stickers is 3 inches wide by 4.25 inches high. This will fit in both paperback and hardcover editions. Rectangular is the standard format, but you could experiment with custom die-cut stickers in the shapes of hearts, stars, apples or other exciting objects. Adding a border is a good way to differentiate the bookplate design from the book design. Also leave ample space for a name or even a gift inscription as people may want to use the plates to inscribe books they give as gifts.
For even more inspiration check out hundreds of images of 19th- and 20th-century book plates in the Pratt Library Ex Libris Collection on Flickr.com.

I use this line for trout. it is thin and it works well on a ultra-light reel with the drag set for trout. I have even caught a 24 inch rainbow on this 2lb line. very good value that casts very well.
This Trilene fishing line is the best casting, and invisible in the water I have used. It's not only great casting line, but it is also great trolling line. I purchased the 12 pound test, and it has exceeded all my expectations for a great all around fishing experience. It's the only line I will purchase.
I only use Trilene fishing line. I feel it is the best fishing line made. Very good casting line and knot tieing. I use it in salt water fishing also.
best i have ever used
Excellent product
very good
I have been using Trilene XL for years. The best performing mono on the market. I purchase it in the 3000 yard spools.
Have not found a better mono than xl. Have used trilene xl and xt for years
I bought this hoping to get fresh line and not something that has been sitting on the shelf forever in your local store, and was I impressed. It was like casting with silk, so smooth and its the same as what I was getting at the local sporting goods store. The freshest line I have ever used I will only buy direct from now on. Tight Lines+++++++++
I've been using this line for 27 years and never had a a complaint.
Easiest line to cast, the 6# line is extremely tough and can handle 7+ pound fish without breaking. I'll never change Berkley monofilment for anything else.
this is the only line I buy. tried allot of different fishing lines in the past. this is my number 1. I love the way it casts, caught allot of trophy size fish with this line. It's tough also, fishing around trees, grass, rocks. I will never buy any other line. Trilene XL (x-tra limp) for smooth casting and less twist. I fish at least 3 to 4 times a week. I usually put new line on my reels each yr. but, with this line if you should forget, like I have. You don't have to worry, it will hold up for at least 2yrs. I know from experience.
All I buy is this fishing line, in low-vis green 10lb test. I used other lines but no line in my opinion can hold up to the abuse and strain I put this line through. I have also made converts out of fishing buddies that ran different lines. Now they swear by this line. Thank-you Berkley for this and all your great products.
I have been using Trilene XL for many years in all my Freshwater fishing and found it very strong and flexable even in colder fishing days. It casts very well and knots are very strong . It's our go two line for most fishing situtions.
For over Twenty Years Now I have been Using Berkley Trilene Xl Low visibility Green To fool Large Wary NYC Reservoir Brown Trout . It is the only line I have found to be Strong and Supple enough to allow a Natural Presentation, With virtually no memory it allows for Tension free Runs Using Baitrunner Style Reels
I love this line...Its very limp and it floats...Its just what I need...
The "Best" possible fishing line for the price.
Worked great for my spinning reels. No problems with it.
I have been using Berkley line products for over 30 years. Best line on the market.
Been using Trilene XL for decades. Works great for every fishing application. I've tried other lines in order to experiment with technological changes, but keep returning to Trilene XL. Clear is my favorite. I highly recommend it.

Multiflight also operates out of Leeds-Bradford Airport with flight training and aviation sales. The Aviation Academy is also located at this facility in one of the hangars.
- Stop for a light snack or meal at the Saltaire Bar and Eatery to enjoy a taste of Yorkshire whilst waiting for a departing flight.
- Relax with a drink at the Danby Bar as you wait for your next flight from Leeds-Bradford Airport in Leeds.
- Spend some time in World Duty Free whilst you wait for a flight in Leeds as you browse the selection for souvenirs or essentials that you forgot to pack for your trip.
The airport is easily accessed from the surrounding areas. The Centrebus lines 737 and 747 go to the airport, and other bus services, including local and district service companies, also have the Leeds-Bradford Airport as one of the stops. Leeds railway station also runs to the airport, as do the Guiseley and Horsforth stations. It is also easily reached by taxi and for those who hire a car. Large taxis can transport groups to and from the airport. Bicycles and motor bikes are also welcome at Leeds-Bradford Airport from nearby Leeds or other towns.

Marketing And Business Success
Marketing, as we all recognize, is a key, vital area of any business. Its function is to ensure that your products or services are in the public eye, sought after and then purchased. Proper marketing can "Make a company" and if done improperly can, "Break a company". Your organization, with its staff of one or ten thousand people, may be doing a great job of marketing but still be failing in other key areas. Marketing is vital, yet it is only one of twenty-one key areas of every business!

The Cougars got the ball back at their own 40 with five minutes remaining. Two quick completions to Chad Lewis and Kaipo McGuire gave the Cougs first down at the K-State 31. A three-yard scramble by Sarkisian and an incomplete pass to McGuire in which the Cougar receiver's helmet was knocked off by a vicious hit by safety Mario Smith and BYU was faced with a 3rd-and-7 at the 28.
Canty was still out with dehydration, however, and the Wildcats' other star cornerback Joe Gordon left the game after getting banged up. That left freshman corner Lamar Chapman in man-to-man coverage against BYU senior K.O. Kealaluhi.
It was a mismatch the Wildcats would pay dearly for. Kealaluhi headed inside and Chapman bit. When Kealaluhi cut back outside he was wide open in the end zone and Sarkisian hit him in stride for the 28-yard score, giving the Cougars the lead with 3:39 to play.
BYU wasn't out of the woods yet, however. The Wildcats moved the ball on a sustained drive for the first time all game in the final minutes. Twice Wildcat quarterback Brian Kavanagh completed fourth-down passes to All-American receiver Kevin Lockett to keep the chains moving. Lockett even hauled in a pass in the back of the end zone, but it was ruled incomplete because his foot was out of bounds when he landed.
With a 1st-and-10 at the 12, however, cornerback Omarr Morgan saved the day for the Cougars. He picked off a pass intended for Jimmy Dean at the three with just 55 seconds left.
"After I caught it," Morgan said, "I cradled it like a baby. I wasn't going to drop it. It was the greatest feeling of my life."
When Sarkisian finished putting his knee down for the third time and the clock read :00, the Cougars could start celebrating their second bowl win in three seasons.
There seemed to be some bad blood between the two teams before the game even started.
"They were disrespecting us at all the events not shaking our hands and stuff and we took it personally," said cornerback Tim McTyer, who had a first-quarter interception and six tackles on the afternoon.
Added Sarkisian, "At some bowls the teams hang out and are friendly to each other, but they didn't seem to want to be friends with us and I guess that's their business."
Sarkisian completed 21 of 36 passes for 291 yards and a pair of scores to earn co-outstanding offensive player honors (with Lockett). He was punished physically, however, as he was sacked seven times for minus-45.
"Steve was playing in a lot of pain in the fourth quarter," said Edwards. "It was a gutsy performance."
The Cougars dominated all but the final six seconds of the first half. Muirbrook started the scoring when he sacked K-State quarterback Brian Kavanagh in the end zone for a safety with 3:34 to play in the first quarter. Shortly thereafter Pochman nailed a 39-yard field goal to put BYU up 5-0.
It appeared the Cougars would go into the halftime locker room with a lead until Kavanagh did his best Jim McMahon-in-the-'80-Holiday Bowl impersonation. Kavanagh, on the final play of the half, threw the ball up for grabs in the end zone. Morgan got his hand on it, but it bounced into the arms of KSU's Andre Anderson for a touchdown. Running back Mike Lawrence scored the two-point conversion to put the Wildcats up 8-5 at intermission.
The Wildcats padded their lead in the third quarter when a short pass to Lockett turned into a 72-yard touchdown. Lockett broke a tackle by Chris Ellison and scampered down the left sideline to give the 'Cats a 10-point lead before the Cougars' comeback.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder came away impressed with the Cougars. "They're ranked No. 5 in the country and deserve to be," he said.

Colfax grad Olson helps SOU move on
By: Mike Ray / Gold Country News Service
Former Falcon finding success in NAIA football
If there's one thing for certain about this year's NAIA football playoffs, former Colfax High grid standout Michael Olson is getting to know the state of Iowa pretty well.
Last Saturday, Olson, a senior slot back for the Southern Oregon University football team, helped the Raiders overcome St. Ambrose, 45-28, in a first-round playoff game played in Davenport, Iowa.
The 2007 Colfax High graduate, an all-PVL pick who went on to earn all-state honors while playing at American River, scored a pair of touchdowns in the first-round win. Olson scored for SOU on a four-yard run and a 17-yard reception from Austin Dodge. On offense, SOU, the highest-scoring team in the nation, totaled 547 yards in the victory.
SOU built a 17-6 lead in the win before watching St. Ambrose rally to take a 28-17 lead by halftime. In the second half, SOU tallied 28-unanswered points and shut the Bees out over the final two quarters.
Olson, who finished the game with five catches for 81 yards, and the Raiders will now move on to the second round and play undefeated Morningside College (11-0) this Saturday in Sioux City, Iowa.
The two touchdowns tallied by Olson give him 23 on the season, placing him among the nation's NAIA leaders in that category.
"We're playing well right now," said SOU head coach Craig Howard. "Mike Olson is having a great season for us. I call him our Wes Welker."
Olson, whose shiftiness and elusiveness can cause opposing defenses plenty of headaches, has quietly put together a monster statistical year for the Raiders in 2012.
"It's a fast-paced tempo," Olson said. "It took us awhile to get going but we turned it around in the second half."
Going in to the game at St. Ambrose, Olson had rushed the ball from his slot back position 61 times for 142 yards and scored 13 touchdowns. He has also grabbed 48 passes for 754 more yards and six touchdowns.
While also returning punts and kickoffs for the Raiders, he has accumulated 1,326 all-purpose yards, which ranks him 20th in the nation among NAIA schools. His season total of 23 touchdowns – which includes a
100-yard kickoff return for a score – puts him second in the nation in scoring.
"We use Mike a lot of different ways," said SOU offensive coordinator Ken
Fasnacht. "All three of our receivers complement each other very well."
Howard, who coached Tim Tebow in high school, returned from Florida two years ago to return to his Southern Oregon roots and take the Raiders'
"We're up tempo," Howard sai. "Two weeks ago against Montana Tech we got off 110 plays. We have one special play called 'Colfax.' You can figure out who that goes to."

Columbia Cemetery
About Columbia Cemetery
Situated on 10.5 acres at Ninth and Pleasant Streets, the cemetery is a virtual "Who's Who" of early Boulder--a historic, cultural, and artistic resource containing the remains of many of our city's founders and pioneers.
Nearly 6,500 persons are interred in Columbia Cemetery. The gravestones are not simply inanimate markers of granite, marble, sandstone, or metal--they are narratives that reveal provocative clues about who we were, how we lived and died, what shaped our values, attitudes, and traditions. The epitaphs, engravings, and decorations provide insight into the minds and hearts of the hardy pioneers that have helped to make Boulder and Colorado what they are today.We invite you to browse the various links below to enhance your understanding and appreciation of Boulder's historic pioneer cemetery.
If These Stones Could Talk: Tales from Columbia Cemetery now available!
A new book about Columbia Cemetery history includes information on its "residents," grave markers, symbolism, and preservation efforts. "If These Stones Could Talk: Tales from Columbia Cemetery" by Mary Reilly-McNellan, Lise Cook Cordsen, Judith Gould Dayhoff and Barbara Walsh Myers has been published by Johnson Books, and is available at the Boulder Bookstore and on Amazon. The book costs $21.95. Proceeds will benefit Columbia Cemetery preservation efforts.
Columbia Cemetery Upgrades/Enhancements
This project includes improvements to address critical deficiencies at Columbia Cemetery by rehabilitating headstones, constructing perimeter fencing, installing an efficient irrigation system and installing underground sheet piling along the north side of Anderson Ditch to prevent ditch water from seeping into the cemetery. This project is critical to maintain existing valued park and cultural resources and improve water conservation efforts as part of the Columbia Cemetery Historic Landmark Site. More information will be posted when it is available.
Upgrade/Enhancement Schedule
- Rehabilitating Headstones: Ongoing Project through 2015
- Perimeter Fencing along Western Property Line: Complete
- Irrigation System: Install to Begin mid-Sept
- Sheet Piling: Complete
Irrigation System Installation
Using funding from the 2011 Capital Improvement Bond that was approved by Boulder voters, the Boulder Parks and Recreation Department will begin work on the placement of an underground sprinkler system in Columbia Cemetery in early September, 2013. This will replace the current antiquated and time-intensive above ground watering system, which requires hooking up hoses to various sprinkler heads and manually moving them throughout the day to irrigate the grounds during the summer months. An underground irrigation system can be much more easily controlled and regulated, ensuring more precise and consistent watering.
City Parks staff, Forestry staff, and Munding Design, LLC, have determined what are believed to be the best routes for the irrigation lines, most of which will follow existing internal Cemetery roadways. A historical Cemetery map was used to route additional lines along areas that were originally internal alleys, and hence less likely to contain burials. As an additional precaution, the lines will be placed at a maximum depth of 8 inches below grade, and staff is not anticipating encountering burials at this shallow depth.
Columbia Cemetery Conservation Corps received first "Betty Chronic Preservation in Action Award"
The City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department's Columbia Cemetery Conservation Corps received the first "Betty Chronic Preservation in Action Award" during Historic Boulder, Inc.'s annual membership meeting and awards ceremony.
Columbia Cemetery's "Jane Doe" Identified as Dorothy Gay Howard
Previously unidentified murder victim whose gravestone reads, "Jane Doe, April 1954, age about 20 years" was recently determined by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office to be Dorothy Gay Howard, from Phoenix AZ.

Snuff Garrett
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2011)
|Snuff Garrett
|Birth name
|Thomas Lesslie Garrett
|July 5, 1939
Thomas Lesslie "Snuff" Garrett (born July 5, 1939, in Dallas, Texas) is a retired American record producer whose most famous work was during the 1960s and 1970s. His nickname is a play on Levi Garrett's Snuff, a brand of snuff.
At seventeen, he was a disc jockey in Lubbock, Texas, where he met Buddy Holly. He is often still mentioned on the Lubbock oldies station KDAV on a program hosted by his friend Jerry "Bo" Coleman. Garrett also worked in radio in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he performed on-air stunts. On February 3, 1959, Garrett broadcast his own tribute show to Holly after he was killed (along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper) in a plane crash in Iowa.[1]
In 1959, Garrett became a producer at Liberty Records in Hollywood. His first job as producer for the label was on Johnny Burnette's "Settin the Woods on Fire" on July 9, 1959. Among Garrett's roster of artists were Bobby Vee, Johnny Burnette, Gene McDaniels, Buddy Knox, Walter Brennan, Ralph Williams/The Marauders, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Del Shannon and later (after leaving Liberty) Cher and Sonny & Cher. He was also responsible for hiring Phil Spector for a short period as an assistant producer for Liberty. Later Garrett had his own record labels, Snuff Garrett Records and Viva Records.
Between 1961 and 1969 he released a series of instrumental albums, featuring solo guitar work by Tommy Tedesco, on Liberty Records by "The 50 Guitars of Tommy Garrett", 6 of which appeared on Billboard Top LPs chart.[2]
In 1966 Garrett produced an album by singer/songwriter Sonny Curtis on the Viva label, The 1st Of Sonny Curtis, which contains some of Curtis' most popular tunes including "Walk Right Back" (an Everly Brothers hit). Other tracks that came out of this session are "My Way of Life", "Hung up in your Eyes", and "I Fought the Law and the Law Won".
In 1966-67 Garrett and JJ Cale co-produced A trip down the Sunset Strip, attributed to the Leathercoated Minds, a compilation of psychedelic covers together with four instrumentals of Cale's own composition.
Many of Garrett's hit singles came from songs by the Brill Building songwriters in New York City. One of his assistants was future recording star Leon Russell. Garrett was invited early on to produce the Monkees, but a test session did not go well, with the Monkees preferring to work with Boyce and Hart, writers of "Last Train to Clarksville" and the Monkees's theme song.
In addition to his string of hits with Cher and Sonny & Cher for Kapp Records and MCA Records in the 1970s, Garrett also produced Vicki Lawrence's "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" for Bell Records (a song written by Lawrence's then-husband Bobby Russell), and Tanya Tucker's "Lizzie and the Rainman" for MCA. Both of these songs had been intended for Cher; but her husband and manager at the time, Sonny Bono thought it might offend Cher's Southern fans.[3] Other artists produced by Garrett in the '70s included Brenda Lee and "singing cowboy" Roy Rogers. These recordings and others marked a shift by Garrett away from pop-rock toward the easy-listening "countrypolitan" sound.
Garrett worked regularly with the Johnny Mann Singers and the Ron Hicklin Singers on many projects, and was responsible for the new sound of The Ray Conniff Singers in the early 1970s (which employed the Hicklin Singers), producing two albums with Conniff. Garrett also produced several tracks by Nancy Sinatra in the mid-1970s that were issued by Private Stock Records. In 1976, Garrett set up a sublabel of Casablanca Records, Casablanca West. The label released just one album and two singles before folding. In 1978, Garrett produced the country-oriented soundtrack of Clint Eastwood's Every Which Way but Loose, which appeared on Garrett's latter-day label, Viva Records.
In 1976, when home video was in its infancy, Garrett bought cassette rights to the old RKO and Republic films for what United Press International termed "a pittance." By 1980, the 800-title library of his company The Nostalgia Merchant was earning $2.3 million a year. "Nobody wanted cassettes four years ago," Garrett told UPI. "It wasn't the first time people called me crazy. It was a hobby with me which became big business."[4]
Garrett retired to his ranch in Arizona during the 1980s. Among his other interests are American Western art, and he shares his collection with the public through prints.

I love reading so I like many kinds of books. I love civil war, fiction and non-fiction. I love biographies. I am a history buff so reading about things with a lot of historical value can keep me reading for hours. Romantic or humor for movies, all music except hip-hop and rap. I really like Classic Country because I love to dance and it is easy to dance to.I can 100 percent say my favorite music is gospel. I lovemthe Gaithers and I have so many favorites but to just pick a couple would be Ivan Parker and Sherry Easter. For food, I am a beef person, but not picky at all.

Many many things. I like to think about my Prince that will ride up one day and we will travel together, love each other tenderly, and just be there for each other in good and bad holding each other up in pain, sorrow, and in wonderful times. I think about how I pray that God has picked a wonderful person that will love me and I will love them and we can spend the rest of our lives doing things for his
Kingdom. I feel my mission has not been completed and I have just a little more to do. I think about the world economy and my grandchildren and how will they ever pay off this debt the US owes.

You should message me if

The penguin looks happy atleast
Creatures big and small had their footprints dipped in ink and imprinted on paper at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, as part of a new elephant conservation project in Thailand's Kui Buri National Park on June 26, 2012. Animal handlers at the Taronga and Western Plains Zoo plan on collecting the footprints of 4,000 animals when all is said and done.
I wanna know how they did the snakes and who did the crocodiles?
You can see a slide show here with more pics:

AdSense often pays well on hotels, flights, and car hire, but if you have the traffic to make a good income from AdSense you'll make even more from affiliate links. Local advertising can pay well if you get your page impressions up or can demonstrate your SEO is working. Offline advertisers will pay and keep paying if they get traffic or bookings and it's a nice form of residual income.
If you have a large expat community in your area then market to them as well.
