You can easily change your color scheme, but it can be hard to compare several schemes to decide what's best for you. It may help to view a one-page summary of many color schemes.
Alternatively, the script presented below allows you to quickly change colors by pressing a key. If you like variety, you can start Vim with a different scheme depending upon the time of day.
One page summary of color schemes
Maverick Woo has created a one-page summary showing sample C code in many different color schemes. Other pages at the same site show similar information for html, Java, LaTeX and Perl.
Some of the color schemes are provided with Vim. For example, the following command should show the elflord scheme:
:colorscheme elflord
Many samples show color schemes available at Vim scripts – at that page, click "Advanced search" in the left sidebar, then, under "on the Vim website only", select "color scheme" for the "type", and click Search. The results include the Color Sampler Pack which is a zip of the 100 highest rated color schemes (previewed here).
Note that if you are using Vim over SSH or in certain color-limited terminals you may need to tell Vim to use 256 color mode in order to have the color schemes display with greater accuracy by using the command :set t_Co=256 .
Switching colors
The script shown below defines these key mappings:
- Press F8 to use the next color scheme.
- Press Shift-F8 to use the previous color scheme.
- Press Alt-F8 to use a random color scheme.
The next/previous/random color scheme selection uses a list of scheme names maintained by the script. The list can be controlled with these commands (the default is all):
- :SetColors all
- To use all installed color schemes ($VIMRUNTIME/colors/*.vim).
- :SetColors my
- To use names built into the script (define these names by editing the script to change the variables c1, c2 and c3).
- :SetColors blue slate ron
- To use the schemes specified (scheme names, separated with a space, for example, blue slate ron).
- :SetColors
- To display the current list of scheme names.
After using :SetColors to list the scheme names (and while the list is still displayed), you could type :colors d then press Tab to expand 'd' to a color scheme name starting with 'd'. Then press Enter to invoke the color scheme (:colors is an abbreviation for :colorscheme).
Enter :SetColors now to set the current color scheme based on the time of day. Change the colors used by editing the nowcolors variable in the script, for example:
let nowcolors = 'breeze earth less aqua gothic'
- Create and save file setcolors.vim containing the script below.
- In Vim, use the command :source setcolors.vim to execute the script so you can experiment with its features.
- Alternatively, if you save the script in file ~/.vim/plugin/setcolors.vim (Unix) or $HOME/vimfiles/plugin/setcolors.vim (Windows), it will be available whenever you start Vim.

Scrolling the color schemes
You may want to impress your colleagues by having Vim change the color scheme periodically. The following might be your first attempt:
:autocmd CursorHold * call NextColor(1)
However, this fails because there is no timer event in Vim. The CursorHold event will fire only once when the user has been idle for the time specified with the 'updatetime' option (so if you stop typing, the color scheme will change once only).
If you want the color scheme to change every 10 seconds, execute the following command (press Ctrl-C to finish).
:while 1|sleep 10|call NextColor(1)|endwhile

The Zombie is a Harley-Davidson styled motorbike featured in GTA IV, made by Steel Horse and a variant of the Zombie is made by Liberty Chop Shop.
Manufactured by Steel Horse and Liberty Chop Shop, the Zombie resembles a custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a rigid body frame, as evidenced by the lack of a separate rear suspension module. The engine is a chain-driven, two-cylinder V-Twin internal combustion engine with a manual transmission, as evidenced by the foot-actuated gear shifter. The Zombie has elongated "ape hanger" type handlebars, which make cornering difficult with the increased sweep caused by the handle arms.
The Zombie is a favorite of The Lost Brotherhood biker gang. The Lost's Zombie, internally named "
zombieb", is distinguishable by its "redwall" tires (compared to the conventional variant's whitewall tires), black rims, black panelings and frame, a custom gas tank with custom pin striping, an oversized carburetor on the right side of the engine, and a repositioned jolly roger on the gas tank lid. The Lost Zombies can be found in Acter, near Gracie Ancelotti's house, but are quite rare.
While able to reach a decent top speed, the Zombie's handling suffers due to the oversized front tire, and the bike is susceptible to oversteer. It can only do wheelies from high revs, and by transferring weight to the back before taking off.
The Zombie has mostly good handling. Its speed and braking are superior to most motorcycles in GTA IV, compensating for its flaws.
- The default radio station in the Zombie is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- In the GTA IV mission No Way on the Subway, and in The Lost and Damned, Jim Fitzgerald is depicted riding a Zombie B.
- The Zombie and the Hellfury are most notably the only "gang bikes" the player can ride in GTA IV.
- The Lost paintjob can be sprayed on any Zombie in The Lost and Damned, But these don't have the modifications.
- The Zombie is based on the Exile Hot Rod by Russell Mitchell. The only differences are twin headlights, a 'tribal' paintjob and the addition of a pillion pad to the Zombie.
- in TLAD you can find Zombies with custom paint jobs more often than the plain-coloured version.
- In the mission No Love Lost, Niko must chase down and kill Jason Michaels who is escaping from him. He is seen riding a Zombie.
- Driving a Zombie in GTA 4 will cause a Turismo to spawn more frequently.
- Usually spawns all over Middle Park.
- Spawns when driving mostly any motorcycle.
- Found near Acter, driven by The Lost.
- Easily accessible in GTA IV during No Love Lost/No Way on the Subway, when the player kills members of The Lost.
- If Johnny calls Clay, he will deliver this bike to him.

David replies:
Hi my name is Amy and I'm 21. When I masturbate I like to watch lesbian porn. I'm straight and everything it just turns me on. Is this normal? When I watch straight porn I don't get aroused. So please help!
Hi Amy,
For as long as anybody's been studying sexual fantasies they've noticed that fantasies often have nothing to do with what we enjoy in real life. Sometimes our fantasies are the opposite of what we'd actually like to do! And for as long as anyone's been studying fantasies they've also noticed that very often when people try to act out fantasies it's kind of a letdown.
My favorite comparison is to someone who fantasizes at work about sailing a small boat around the world -- which is all about romantic getaways, really -- when really what's involved in sailing a small boat is mostly a lot of work, in a very cramped space, eating a lot of canned food, with sometimes weeks or even months of nothing on the horizon but more horizon. In other words while the fantasy is of getting away from work and boredom the reality is just... more work and boredom!
Anyway that's just another way of saying what turns you on while you masturbate to doesn't necessarily say anything about you.

At the first Democratic debate, our candidates discussed real issues.READ MORE
I'm a Democrat Because when I was growing up in Alabama, black men and women weren't allowed to even register to vote. They almost gave up. I think about the next generation, and I don't want to give up. There's still work to be done. I want to stand with the party that fights for everyone.
I'm a Democrat Because we're the party that looks out for every American, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or income. While at the University of Florida, I got involved in student government and the College Democrats. Seeing the positive impact I could have on campus inspired me to devote my life to public service. Now, as a mom to three kids, I know more than ever how critical Democratic values are to our future.
I'm a Democrat Because we believe that everybody in this country deserves a fair shot. We believe in expanding opportunity, whether we're working to grow the economy, creating jobs, or making sure every child receives a world-class education. Democrats look to the future, and I'm incredibly proud to be fighting for progress with them.
I'm a Democrat Because I grew up watching my dad, who worked in a steel mill, and my mom, a nurse, work hard to support our family while also being engaged members of our community, trying to make it a better place for kids to grow up. They inspire me to work every day to make sure that America is a place where hardworking families can succeed.

May 5, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- Federal officials say Georgia will get $17.2 million in federal grant money as part of a plan aimed at improving some persistently low-performing schools.
The School Improvement Grants were announced Monday by the U.S. Department of Education.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/a1eK) that the program can be controversial. That's because a school must agree to reforms that often include replacing the principal in order to get the funds.
Georgia schools competing for the grants have to identify problems, set goals and state how they would use the money to reach them. The funds would be used by Georgia schools to pay for teacher and principal training and to hire teacher coaches.

I couldn't find a scientific review of this lens before I bought it. Steve Huff and the Phoblographer gave it a glowing reviews but never really addressed sharpness, although if you look at their samples....
It's really soft! It's the sharpest at exactly T/8 but it's still not really sharp enough for prints. It's so soft that even for screen use, the pictures don't usually look sharp. At T/1.6 it's very soft at the edges and only a little less soft in the center. It stays soft at the edges all the way up to T/8, and by T/11 diffraction makes it soft all over.
I really gave this lens the benefit of the doubt. I shot with it for weeks, indoors, outdoors. Flare is terrible, but even when you can't see it sometimes you get this weird brown discoloration. Contrast is weak and varies a lot with lighting. It's also very hard to white balance it properly...the glass seems to be discolored in an odd way.
If you want a manual lens, the Fujian 35mm f/1.7 CCTV lens is sharper and better!

Labetalol for High Blood Pressure During Pregnancy
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Labetalol is an alpha- and beta-blocker drug used to lower high blood pressure during pregnancy. It is sometimes given in the hospital setting, either through a vein (intravenously, or IV) or by mouth. Some doctors also prescribe labetalol by mouth for daily outpatient treatment of high blood pressure.
Why It Is Used
Labetalol is used to:
- Treat severe chronic high blood pressure that requires medicine for control during pregnancy. Other drugs may be added for blood pressure control, if needed.
- Treat severe high blood pressure (it does not prevent seizures).
Labetalol must be used with caution in pregnant women who have asthma, bronchitis, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), or a slow heart rate.
How Well It Works
Labetalol is usually effective for the control of severe high blood pressure at the end of pregnancy or during labor.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Dizziness, sleepiness, or weakness.
- Lack of energy.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Skin flushing or tingling of the scalp.
- Stuffy nose.
In rare cases, labetalol may slow the heart rate of a fetus. To prevent this from happening, the mother's blood pressure is monitored carefully and the amount of medicine given is reduced if necessary.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Labetalol lowers blood pressure quickly. For this reason, both mother and fetus are closely monitored during its use.
Blood pressure medicines are usually not used to treat mild high blood pressure during pregnancy. Mild high blood pressure does not usually cause problems for the mother or the baby.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
When you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The race for mayor of Washington is getting more crowded, with two new candidates entering the race - neither of them the incumbent mayor, Vincent Gray.
A representative of D.C. Councilmember Vincent Orange picked up nominating petitions Friday to get his name on the ballot for the April 1 Democratic primary. Orange is the fourth councilmember to enter the race, joining Democratic colleagues Muriel Bowser, Jack Evans and Tommy Wells.
Also, restaurateur Andy Shallal tells The Associated Press that he will launch his campaign on Tuesday. Shallal owns the Busboys and Poets restaurant chain and has long been considering a run. He is a supporter of Gray and says he would not be running if Gray were in the race, but he's no longer waiting for Gray to decide.

ARCH 355 Archaeology Field School (1)
This four- to six-week summer archaeology field school provides intensive, on-site training in the archaeological methods and techniques in conjunction with the Ness of Brodgar archaeology project, a joint project led by the Orkney Research Center for Archaeology, Orkney College, and Willamette University. The Ness of Brodgar sites is a Neolithic ceremonial complex situated on a thin promontory between two lakes and the megalithic stone circles of the Ring of Brodgar and Stones of Stenness. The excavation emphasizes a holistic approach to archaeological inquiry. As such, in addition to daily instruction on excavation theory, technique and recovery, course lectures and fieldwork will emphasize a variety of topics including topographical and geophysical survey techniques, stratigraphy, ceramic typology, geomorphology, paleobotany, and the archaeology of the Orkney Islands. Visits to regional archaeological sites and museums will provide a broad cultural and historical background of the archaeology of the region.

I'm working with some code which was written by a contractor who left a year ago leaving a number of projects with buggy, disgustingly bad code. This is what I call cowboy PHP, say no more.
Ideally I'd like to leave the project as is and never touch it again. Things break, requirements change and it needs to be maintained. Part A needs to be changed. There is a bug I cannot reproduce. Part A is connect to parts B D and E. This kind of work gives me a headache and makes me die a little inside. It kills my motivation and productivity. To be honest I'd say it's affecting my mental health.
Perhaps being at the start of my career I'm being naive to think production code should be reasonably clean. I would like to hear from anyone else who has been in this situation before. What did you do to get out of it? I'm thinking long term I might have to find another job.
Edit I've moved on from this company now, to a place where idiots are not employed. The code isn't perfect but it's at least manageable and peer reviewed. There are a lot of people in the comments below telling me that software is messy like this. Sure I don't agree with the way some programmers do things but this code was seriously mangled. The guy who wrote it tried to reinvent every wheel he could, and badly. He stopped getting work from us because of his bad code that nobody on the team could stand. If it were easy to refactor I would have. Eventually after many 'just do this small 10minute change' situations had ballooned into hours of lost time (regardless of who on the team was doing the work) my boss finally caved in it was rewritten.

Fabric Cuteness Overload
Another good place to find Japanese imports if you're local (Utah).
Diary of a Quilter - a quilt blog
A personal blog about quilting, sewing and life as a mother. Lots of free tutorials including beginning quilting tutorials, binding tutorials, and other sewing projects like bags, quilt blocks and nursing covers.
angela says
LOVE all those prints! That was some fun shopping 🙂 When I first saw that cheater print I thought – wow, her seams are so flat!

Fun day at the shop with the boys, huh? My local shop has a little bin in the corner with some books, dominoes and a puzzle. Luckily becket loves to set up the dominoes and happily plays in one spot for now!
mascanlon says
All that cuteness and I was sitting here on my hands trying not to online shop. You did me in!
paulette says
Loved the cute fabric!!
Someday your 'adventure' in the QS will be a silly story to tell their wives when they are going crazy with their own children!! :o) got to love it!! (except for the rotary cutter!!)

Katy says
oh no – waaaaaaay too much gorgeous stuff there!!!!

Your boys are clearing trying to get their own way – no more fabric store please, Mummy. Don't give in, just tape their arms to their sides before you go into the store, et voila, damage limitation 😉
Funky Kim says
I adore Pine Needles! Last time I was in there I had to pretend I had blinders on because I truly couldn't spend any money on fabric or something bad would happen! LOL
Dresden Quilter says
The fabric is too cute! My kids have been to quilt stores and quilt shows ever since they were born too and there have been many times where I have cringed.
Leslie says
you are not kidding..i am about to die from all the cuteness. these fabrics are amazing. i love the cheaters you got!!! and the story about your son….i was laughing but if it was me i would likely have had a heart attack.
ginger says
Gorgeous fabrics. That cheater cloth looks especially fun, and I love the top quilt you made.
A. says
*shudder* fabric stores with children. It's like they have a radar for it & the second you walk through the doors it's freak-out time. Nice new additions to your stash, though! And I love the "saving money" reasoning. Ha, ha.
live a colorful life says
I have a little of the Japanese fabric–wow, they make some cute stuff. I hadn't been on the toadstool band wagon yet, but I'm thinking of jumping on.
Oh yes, I've seen the hedgehogs – and I heart them along with the rest (but especially the toadstools).
Melissa says
I feel your pain and you're not alone. The last time I took my 2.5 year old into a quilt shop she ran through one aisle like some kind of delinquent punk deliberately headbutting (and thus knocking over) a couple of the artfully placed fabric bolts, she dumped over baskets of perfectly arranged jelly rolls and charm packs, and then she picked up another basket and carried it around hiding
John'aLee says
Such a happy quilt at the top of your blog post. Lecien fabrics are hard to beat.
I'm proud of you for being a stay at home mom and yet finding a way to keep creative! You go girl!
Sherri says
Love all of these fabrics…especially Charlotte from Carmel Town…I'm going to have to look for that one!
Mary on Lake Pulaski says
Cute, cute, cute stuff Amy! Love all your purchase and remember well shopping with the kids – enjoy – it won't last long!
Mary says
I love those cheater prints! I have one in my stash and I just love it. The double wedding ring cheater print is so cool – I've never seen that one before!
RachellaBella says
LOVE the fabric! and I so understand about little boys and fabric shops and the dangers lurking in every little nook…
Laurie Anne says
Loving the shrooms fabrics and those hedgehogs are just darling!
Melissa says
I just bought some of those Leicen prints too! I can't decide what to do with them… but they are cute to look at!… I had to get them online.
I'm headed to Utah in June, Pine Needles is always a stop for me.. I've never been to the other 2 stores, I'll have to add them to my list!
Melissa
thetallgrl says
Okay, I simply heart fabric, too. Thank you for sharing your sweets with us! What is it about fabric that is just so … addicting? The feel? The color? The prints? All of the above? My hubby doesn't get it. Too bad for him.

My daughter once threw a gigantic tantrum in a quilt shop once. All because I (trying to distract her) asked her opinion on some fabric and ended up
Patty says
Love the cute fabric. Boys gotta love them. My son once through a tantrum in CVS when I was trying to but a cardand hit a many right in the family jewels I was mortified, needless to say that was the end of the store visit.
Nedra says
Such beautiful Japanese fabrics to share. Delightful.
Sorry that the kidlets were such a handful. They will grow and learn (eventually).
madebymum says
I love your choices.
firefaery says
I have a whole Michael Miller Hedgehogs and Big E half yard package coming to me as we speak! I'm so excited!!! So very adorable. I will use it in a quilting bee, to make a baby blanket 🙂
Alba says
I'm so jealous! We don't get anything like the fantastic choice of fabrics you guys have over there. I went to my local fabric store last weekend and the shelves are full of dull, dingy colours at $20 a metre – I want some zingy, spring fabrics!!
Make Do & Mend says
Love your quilt-store-kids story! I am feeling the pain, mine are 6,5 and 18 months – they definately know when we've been in!
Being a parent and a quilter at the same time is NOT easy. I have lots of the same fabrics. So fun. And yes, I'm not sure what I'll do with some of them. But that ALexander Henry print I've gotta get!
Ashlee says
This is GREAT to know. I used to live in Japan and I miss there fabic. I'll have to go check it out!

New York Fashion Week, Fall/Winter 2014. Patriotism can be pleasantly subtle when it wants to be, and this past week in New York was one of those times. New York City may not be the capital, but it is the country's fashion ambassador, and lately it's been interested in celebrating our nation as a whole. NYFW was a demure celebration, highlighting not the clichéd cultural signposts or camp Americana, but instead the real crafts from the country and the diversity of our population. From the shy compound-wives at Alexandre Herchcovitch to brash cowboy-bar keeps at Cushnie et Ochs, we saw a pretty realistic picture of both the coastal hubs and the inner expanses. Fabrics were knitted, crocheted, macrame'd, painted—anything to resemble the Arts and Crafts movement (as seen at Altuzarra and Rodarte) or Navajo blankets (most prominent at Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger).
Marc by Marc Jacobs's mismatched youth looked a little more Tokyo than NYC if we're being honest, but the reference was to a commercial era, which is found in Times Square, the Mall of America and Anytown, U.S.A.'s movie theaters. Later, a more grown up Marc Jacobs collection referenced a sort of seventies Scientific America—a soft and lovely lunar fantasy, in the shape of an established and fashionable, yet sporty woman. And speaking of science, Alexander Wang's heat-sensitive garments played to the progressive streak in every American's DNA.
And because we're a sporting country and proud of it, Lacoste and others reinvented their most practical sportswear, with lean shapes for the slopes and the stables. Jeremy Scott's collection was sports-themed (of course), whereas Hood By Air's riffed on sports branding, but in heritage fabrics like suede and muslin.
Donna Karan won the Most New York award with a golden 30th anniversary collection on Wall Street, while Diane Von Furstenberg's wrap dress's 40th anniversary was worn again with an equal amount of fanfare, and glittering, wearable glam strutted out from Diesel Black Gold, and Jason Wu. It wasn't just New York's America we saw. Hollywood was at fashion week, but a golden-era retrospective of it. Coach's Shining reference (that Apollo USA sweater—we saw Room 237, too) mirrored a Star Wars-themed collection from Rodarte (and what's more American than that?).
Most notably "American," though, were the two hottest runway trends: truly diverse casting and truly relaxed dressing. DKNY, Eckhaus Latta and Hood By Air showed a more realistic view of NYC's melting pot by employing multiple genders (including trans), women over 20 (and over 50), varying races, and varying heights, all in tasteful, unforced runway collectives.
At Marc, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, The Row and Telfar, we saw fawn robes of what looked like merino wool and velour, topped with lazily draped scarves. It was a look carried over, for most, from Spring—as if designers couldn't wait to get cozy while creating their more summery collections. These scrunchy-socked and snuggled-up girls represent that pseudo-laziness we're now known for. The image we project to other nations is largely made up of our overhyped relaxation climate: forget Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, just look at all the tabloid images of celebrities leaving rehab, wearing luxurious sweats to see the real U.S. of A. Now, instead of just Juicy Couture, we have some more options (and don't we just love those?).

One of the bigger mistakes married couple make is they quit trying to look nice for each other. When a couple starts dating they go all out on trying to look PHAT (pretty hot and tempting from the 1990s)! However, you fast forward a few years into a marriage and add a couple of kids, and you may find "Jim Bob" and "Mary Sue" going from doing the humpty dance to the frumpy dance! Jim Bob is walking around the house in his favorite baggy Nike shorts & high top shoes that he should have retired long ago. And then there is Mary Sue who has on her sweatpants, and the "J" in the "Juicy" across her butt is fading fast!
What is my point? I don't care how long you have been married...you should still try to look nice for one another. Sure, there are days when we are not feeling well or the stress has been overwhelming, and it is okay to put on the fat pants and relax, but not every single day. I'm not saying that it is fair ladies and gentleman, but the way you present yourself throughout the day and evening is foreplay. If you are sitting at dinner looking as hot as the sizzling steak fajitas on your plate then your spouse is looking across the table thinking about the night cap. If you don't believe me then do your own little experiment. Start wearing some nice clothes around dinner and bedtime. Yes ladies that may mean that you need to give the sweatpants a night off, and guys believe it or not...you don't have to wear the same thing everyday and night either (at least wash them).

I'm guessing they're anodized, but the process was not done correctly on the front rim. So now, I have to disassemble the rim, replace and respoke and true a new rim. I'm sure you all know what a pain or cost that can be. Pro Wheel offered to give me a %20 discount if I wanted to pay for the shipping. Not good customer service IMO.

Wild Turkey
Wild Turkey foraging terrestrially, Sonoma County, California. Source: C.Michael Hogan
The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is a chiefly terrestrial bird that is widely distributed throughout North America from Canada to Mexico. M. gallopavo is distinguished by a massive fan-shaped tail, naked head and caruncle attached to its bill. Although the species has a large population, numbers are being eroded by deforestation, overgrazing and reliance on even-aged timber management.
Conservation Status
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
The Wild Turkey is associated with certain ceremonial events, notably Thanksgiving in the USA and Canada. The species was specifically named by Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony as a centerpiece of the early Thanksgiving celebrations, noting that this bird was present in the forests "in great store".
Subspecies and distribution
There are at least six recognizable subspecies. M.g. silvestris (Eastern Wild Turkey) occurs in Ontario, Quebec, southeast Manitoba and Canada's maritime provinces and extends to some of the upper midwest and northeast USA Upper tail coverts exhibit reddish brown ends. M.g osceola (Osceola) is a more diminutive and darker plumaged taxon and is found only in Florida. M.g. merriami (Merriam's) ranges through the continental divide of the USA and manifests white tips to the tail and wing plumage. M.g. intermedia (Rio Grande) has a greenish sheen to body plumage and is found throughout the western USA from California to Utah. M.g mexicana (Gould's) occurs in Arizona and New Mexico as far south as central Mexico. Gould's is the largest of all subspecies and exhibits copper to greenish- gold colors. M.g. gallopavo (South Mexican), found only from Jalisco to Guerrero, Mexico, was the original subspecies to be domesticated by the Aztecs.
Diminutive Osceola subspecies, Florida. @ Kirsten Walquist This strong legged bird has distinctive snood, caruncles and dewlap features adorning his face and neck. The head and upper neck are almost devoid of feathers, while ear openings are covered with bristle feathers. Frontal caruncles are much more bulbous in the male. Female color is more drab with dull brown breast tips and gray-blue crown The gobbler snood is more prominent and the neck is more elongated. The gobbler also exhibits a beard structure at lower neck, a white crown and black tips on breast feathers. Plumage color varies by region and sex, spanning the spectrum of sometimes iridescent gold, green, copper and bronze.(Dickson) There are rigid primary feathers, 18 or 19 feathers and typically 18 tail quills. Gobblers can attain a height above 100 centimeters (cm), whilst hens may reach 75 cm.
This species is chiefly herbivorous, with adaptive terrestrial foraging for a wide variety of nuts, seeds, fruits, but also able to consume many arthropods scratched from the soil surface. This flexible consumption pattern helps to explain the wide distribution of M. gallopavo. Territories have been defined as the area required to support one female, even though a flock usually contains more than one hen. Wide differences in territorial size are presented in the literature, with a range of 1.6 to 121 hectares per female, depending on resource density (Thomas) Seasonal migration of 40 to 80 kilometers can be realized. (Hewitt)
A dominant male gathers a harem of five or more females. Breeding is correlated with lengthening of days, with the peak of breeding season being between March and June (later times for higher latitudes). During breeding season the tom's caruncles enlarge as well as spongy upper breast tissue; these may serve as a nutrition reservoir, since little feeding is done in this season.
Clutches of five to 18 eggs are deposited in shallow earth depression nests, with subsequent incubation of 28 days.(Johnsgard) The hen tends the eggs and young, with the male playing no role. Later the brood may stay with their mother as late as the following spring, although the precocial chicks may fly and roost on their own at age one week.
M. gallopavo at first flees from predators by striding quickly through open forests, being able to obtain a ground speed of at least three to four meters per second; flight ensues when the predator is closer, with the bird being able to attain air speeds of at least ten meters per second, typically sustainable for less than 100 meters
Deep river canyon habitat with oak cover, southern Utah. @ C.Michael Hogan
A major limitation to flight distance is the presence of forest canopy restricting likely flight paths. Ideal habitat of the Wild Turkey is somewhat open forest or savanna, with proximity to surface water. It is especially important to have an age distributed forest to provide dead branches and varying height branches for roosting and for landing when in flight from predators. An example of ideal habitat is mixed oak woodland on lower slopes of mountains, thus affording water proximity and abundant acorn foodstock. For example, the lower slopes of the Pacific Coastal Ranges which have a high percentage of California Black Oak would be expected to be a superior habitat, (Hogan) as borne out by observation.

Hundreds of old school fans were on Saturday evening treated to a ground breaking performance by soul legend, Chaka Khan, who performed at the Club E 80s Party.
The American soul diva, lit up the city in an energetic two hour performance which brought back memories of the 1980s.
At the beginning of the show, the funk star assisted revellers make use of their dancing shoes when she opened her performance with numbers as song 'Aint no body hit'.
With black attire, the soul songstress hyped up the audience with her impressive lyrics, her blend of genres and connection with the revellers.
Backed up by a three member band, the 58 world star was as good at her lullaby famous soul songs of the 1980s as she was with the funk songs that she rolled out to the excited party goers.
Her strength at holding vocals unbroken for minutes enthralled the audience in equal measure as the dancing stunts did for the well attended audience.

I'm a busty gal, so trying to shop for nursing bras in store was impossible. I had to trust my instincts and the great reviews when I ordered these, and they're wonderful. I've been nursing my son for three months now, and the bras have held up so well under constant washes that I just placed an order for another set. I bought a 42D and I get plenty of support - it's so comfortable I don't notice it at night.
I have this nursing bra in both the black and gray stripe as well as plain black. It is my favorite bra to wear to bed. So comfy under my camis.
I've nursed 3 babies, all with different brands of nursing bras. Finally, I've found the perfect bra! I am a 42EEE, so I need a lot of support. This bra offers all the support I need, plus is comfortable, easy to nurse with, and actually cute.
I have tried multiple different brands and styles of nursing bras with my two kids, and this is by far the best bra I've found. It's cotton, so it's not scratchy like some synthetic fabrics and it also breathes, so it's great for the summer. It's comfortable and I love the red lining. I've got four and they are in constant rotation. I wear 38DD, and they offer great support and look good too.
I have tried many nursing bras over the years, I just gave birth to my fourth two weeks ago. This is the most comfortable, best fitting and complimentary bra, I would highly recommend it! I am full figured, so this is good for us bustier ladies:).
- Q: I am 8 months pregnant and wear a 38DD bra now. I bought this bra in 38DDD. Do you think the size is adequate for after birth when I begin nursing.
From Lynn on 7/21/13
- A: Good Morning,
I would think it would be, however each person is different. I wish I could be more difinitive for you.

- Q: I'd like to order this bra in a 38D but it doesn't give me that option. Will you have it in that size anytime soon?
From Jayne on 9/14/13
- A: Hello Jayne.
We are currently out of stock in the White/Black 2-pack however we do have inventory in the other two options.

The root is, Nick Saban. The people who refuse to acknowledge miles is one of the top coaches in the land, view saban as thier guy. They wish he was still here and really think he would come back if les left.
has nothing to do with les. It's their love for saban. that's their guy. They like a coach who's chewing out players. it's miles #1 flaw in their mind. he's way to respectful.
There are too many fans that will never give him credit. Calling any good coaching calls "lucky". They see what they want to see. And believe what they want to believe.
What you have in Les is a program coach. You may not like parts of his program, but it's successful. He may not be the best game day coach (maybe not close) but he runs a very good program.
I'm thinking there are at least 2-3 losses over the Miles tenure that have potentially costs either a title or a shot at a title. This is what frustrates me and most fans in my opinion. We have had top-5 talent every year and it FEELS like we should have been to and won at least one more title.
But the thing is, he's only a bad gameday coach when his calls don't work.
With a bowl win, he will finish in the to 10 in 6 of 8 seasons and possibly in the top 5 in 5 of 8 seasons. That is pretty remarkable.
You rarely see that guy coaching on game day anymore.
Les didnt build the program. Saban built it Les has done a decent job of running it. It's not as good a program as when Saban left but it's good.
I agree but you see flashes of it. I think the chances he took that didn't pan out and the criticism he took make him shell up a bit. The play against Auburn in 07 (he caught the ball with 4 seconds left so it's not as close as most would like to believe), he was chastised for not kicking the FG when the play won the freaking game. How do you satisfy those fans?
There are few die hard Miles haters
I have tried to stay away from getting frustrated by the rantards the past few days, but I finally snapped.
I disagree with this wholeheartedly. I deal with them every day, especially after wins. I don't think he's the best coach who ever lived, but I do dread the day the most successful coach we've ever had leaves.
He has gotten far more conservative since 2007. You rarely see that guy coaching on game day anymore
It's not as good a program as when Saban left but it's good.
I accept it and hope every year luck falls our way the 2 or 3 plays that we need
