THE HUSBAND is working at his desk. Monkey nudges his arm.
The Husband: Stop it, Monkey! I am Powerpointing and my arm is tired!
(A beat.)
Monkey: (Softly.) Woof?
The Husband: Powerpointing!
THE HUSBAND just got home from the ranch.
The Husband: Did you hear about my new band?
Bluebird: No, I haven't
The Husband: We're called "The Soggy Nachos."
Bluebird: (Suspiciously.) What's your hit song?
The Husband: (Quickly.) "Kittens Give Morbo Gas"*
THE HUSBAND is holding Monkey's face, and singing:
"I love you, Monk, and you don't care that I have my sweatpants on baaackwards!"
THE HUSBAND is singing while he shaves.
The Husband: (More or less on-key.) OHHHHH, young SOLDIERRRRR! GO and BLOW your HOO-OOOORN!
Bluebird: (Looking around the corner.) Is that a real song?
The Husband: (Still singing.) OHHHHH, young SOLDIERRRRR! GO and EAT a POT-PIIIIE! (A beat.) No.
(Bluebird sighs.)
THE HUSBAND is sitting at the kitchen table, studying.
The Husband: If I were a ceramicist—
Bluebird: (Looks up from computer) Yes?
The Husband: —I would open a shop called 50 Shades of Clay.
Bluebird: Oh, that sounds… wait, what?!?
THE HUSBAND is doing dishes and singing.
The Husband: Don't LAAAAAY DOWN on the BED if there's a PRICE on your HEAD!
Bluebird: What are you singing?
The Husband: The theme song from Shaft.
(Fifteen minutes later, Bluebird comes back.)
Bluebird: Okay, I looked everywhere. (Pause.) You totally made that up, didn't you?
The Husband: (Looks up from last dish.) Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot piiiiiiiiiie!
HEY! Have you ever heard the Chicken Pot Pie song? (The song is only five seconds long, but this is looped. Click it off right away, or you'll hear it 30 times in a row and be annoyed. It's really funny the first time though.)
*THAT'S A FUTURAMA JOKE, SON. Check out the Futurama wiki here. I wanted to show you that clip, but I cannot find one anywhere! Glaaah! Do you know where I can find the "Kittens give Morbo gas" bit?

Understanding and Managing Chronic Pain
Most of the time pain serves as a critical part of our sensory system, and is therefore a necessary though unpleasant function of a healthy body. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that chronic pain may be more like a disease or pathology of the nervous system associated with abnormal responses in the brain and spinal cord. Chronic pain has an impact on every facet of patients' lives. If you have chronic pain it is important to develop a pain management plan that works for you.

Web-enabled smart watches, and wristbands that help people monitor their health and fitness levels, are among the latest digital gadgets to hit the stores—and there's no shortage of hype surrounding them. But many consumers in Germany have so far turned a deaf ear to such publicity, according to consultancy Fittkau & Maaß.
The firm surveyed more than 11,000 internet users in Germany for its August 2014 report, "Wearables: Smart Watches and Fitness Wristbands." The results showed that at the time of polling, few potential users were sold on these new applications of interactive technology. Just 1.4% of respondents used a fitness band—typically the cheaper of the two devices—and only 0.8% had a smart watch.
When web users were asked about smart watches, the largest single group (42.4% of the sample) said they didn't have one and strongly resisted the idea. More than one in five (22.8%) said they had no interest in a smart watch.
But the research also found many consumers open to the idea of these watches. Nearly one-quarter (24.3%) of respondents were interested in the prospect, and a further 9.7% said they hadn't decided either way. A large majority of potential users said they would like the ability to receive incoming phone calls via a smart watch, for example, or to access route-planning information.
Fitness bands drew very similar responses, though a slightly higher proportion (44.5%) of those surveyed said they actively disliked the idea of having one, and a slightly smaller share—21.9%—said they were interested in getting a wristband.
Among current owners of fitness wristbands, 62% were satisfied users, according to Fittkau & Maaß, and more than half said they wore their wristband almost every day. Around the same number actually used most of its functions, too. But almost one in six were "rather disappointed" with the device—a sign that future generations of such gadgets have the potential to win over consumers with better-designed and more comfortable versions.
The large group of consumers with no interest in either smart watches or fitness bands was distinguished chiefly by a fundamentally dismissive attitude to wearables: Most said they found the devices too basic, and simply uninteresting or superfluous. But other factors, such as the high initial cost of purchase and less-than-impressive user experience also contributed to this opinion. Manufacturers and retailers of wearables need to educate internet users about their advantages, the report concluded.
There's little doubt that the picture will change, even if smart wearable devices are taking off slowly in Germany. The arrival of more and newer models will boost awareness and swell the ranks of early adopters—gradually alerting the wider public to the uses of interactive devices worn on the wrist. ON World Inc. calculated that just 4 million smart watches were shipped worldwide last year—but forecast total shipments of 330 million within four years.

Schooling At Pruning
The first in our series on the tough jobs involved with winemaking.
Ever dream of quitting your job and working at a vineyard? In about two minutes, you'll be thinking that your day job isn't so bad after all.
The Winemakers, the PBS show that took a group of strangers and put them to work in the vineyard and in the winery, is soon to roll out its second season. In celebration of the harvest currently in full swing throughout the northern hemisphere, for the next few weeks The Daily Sip will bring you several sneak peeks at The Winemakers--each featuring an especially tedious, difficult or messy task required to make good wine. Today's lesson: Pruning!
Summer pruning involves cutting out excess branches and leaves. The purpose is to keep the vine in balance so the leaves don't capture too much sunlight and ripen the grapes too quickly, before the end of the season--as well as to keep the shoots on adjacent vines from growing into each other. The trick, though, is to leave enough cover so the leaves can still shade the grapes, protecting them from scorching under the hot sun.
Pruning is tough work, as the above video clip reveals. The contests on The Winemakers talk a big game, but they don't exactly show impressive skills. Check out the video, and tell us below if you think you could do better--and why.

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas woman was sentenced Tuesday to 85 years in prison in the dehydration death of her 10-year-old stepson whom she denied of water for days during record-high temperatures.
Tina Marie Alberson, 44, was convicted Friday of injury to a child, a second-degree felony, in the July 2011 death of Jonathan James.
Alberson, who had faced up to life in prison because of a previous felony conviction, did not appear to react when her sentenced was read.
The boy's maternal grandmother, Sue Shotwell, made a statement in court after the sentence was handed down.
"We trusted you with our baby," she said.
She said she's forgiven Alberson but many members of the family, including the mother of the child, have not. She said they remember Jonathan as an active little boy who wanted to wake up before dawn so he could ride his bike.
Police had thought Jonathan's death was heat-related until the medical examiner's report indicated otherwise.

A dash of restraint
A welcome sight in this weekend in The New York Times is an article by Ben Zimmer* on whether a close enough analysis of email texts can establish who the author is by identifying characteristic features of punctuation, capitalization, vocabulary, and syntax. It is a job for forensic linguists.**
In the course of the article, Mr. Zimmer made an admission: "Surely we all have our own written quirks and mannerisms — I tend to overuse em-dashes, for instance." It came as no surprise to see a number of people tweet that they, too, overuse the em-dash, as if it were a point of pride rather than shame.
I know that tribe. Journalists as a group are dash-happy, employing dashes where commas would suffice nicely, or parentheses. Of course, they can't use parentheses, because the Associated Press Stylebook imagines that parentheses are square brackets. Half the time they use also hyphens instead of dashes anyway.
So I'm offering a brief refresher for the punctuationally challenged.
Hyphens most often link things, such as compound adjectives: my 27-year-old twins. (And, dammit, use the hyphen to link all the elements of the compound. No "27-year old twins," please.)
The em-dash, so called because it is the width of a letter M, or two hyphens in typewriter convention, separates things. It is most properly used to indicate some sharp break of continuity, or draw particular attention to interpolated material, as in the first footnote below. It loses its impact when it merely sets off appositives, for which commas would be the better choice.
The en-dash, the width of the letter N, (See, I could have used dashes there, but I refrained. And this is merely additionally parenthetical, not so sharp a break in continuity.) is more frequently used in book publishing than newspapers. It links ranges of dates, such as 1986–2009, my first stint at The Sun. You probably won't have much call for it.
Let's review.
Don't use hyphens when you want dashes.
When you are tempted to use dashes, stop for a moment to consider whether you really want dashes there rather than commas or parentheses. I'm talking to you, Ben Zimmer.
(And it would be and good and salutary thing if you could bring yourself to use square brackets instead of parentheses to indicate editorial interpolations, the AP be damned.)
Now go and sin no more.
*Don't think, New York Times, that I have forgotten that you incontinently dropped Mr. Zimmer as "On Language" columnist, and I'm talking to you, Hugo Lindgren. God may forgive—that's the job description—but I'm Scotch-Irish.
**Not quite the same line of work that I do as a copy editor, though I have performed my share of necropsies. "Put that article on the table. Let's open it up and find out where it went fatally wrong."

"OF THE 264 Twitter accounts belonging to governments and world leaders, and the 350,289 tweets that have been sent from those accounts to their 51,990,656 followers, not a single one was sent by a Chinese leader." says the Economist in their blog about China.
In a fascinating article that accuses Chinese leaders of a sort of "state led autism" it talks about how one major social media outlet (Twitter) is ignored and blocked by the Great Firewall of China but how their news service is now not only tweeting but linking to YouTube videos (which is also blocked.) The Economist uses this as a fascinating example of how being so insular is going to harm and ultimately limit the rise of China. If you follow China and current events, whether you like Twitter or not, this is a fascinating read and one you may want to bring to your students as well.
"The Library of Congress, in collaboration with the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives and the Government Printing Office (GPO), today unveiled Congress.gov, a new public beta site for accessing free, fact-based legislative information. Congress.gov features platform mobility, comprehensive information retrieval and user-friendly presentation. Congress.gov, at beta.congress.gov, eventually will replace the public THOMAS system and the congressional Legislative Information System (LIS)."
The New York Times has some options to allow students to participate and learn from the US Presidential debates. If you're teaching and you are wanting to use this as a topic, this is a great lesson plan.
"The Digital Government Strategy sets out to accomplish three things:
Enable the American people and an increasingly mobile workforce to access high-quality digital government information and services anywhere, anytime, on any device.
Operationalizing an information-centric model, we can architect our systems for interoperability and openness, modernize our content publication model, and deliver better, device-agnostic digital services at a lower cost.
Ensure that as the government adjusts to this new digital world, we seize the opportunity to procure and manage devices, applications, and data in smart, secure and affordable ways.
Learning from the previous transition of moving information and services online, we now have an opportunity to break free from the inefficient, costly, and fragmented practices of the past, build a sound governance structure for digital services, and do mobile "right" from the beginning.
Unlock the power of government data to spur innovation across our Nation and improve the quality of services for the American people.
We must enable the public, entrepreneurs, and our own government programs to better leverage the rich wealth of federal data to pour into applications and services by ensuring that data is open and machine-readable by default."
There are specific dates including a new US government API policy that is to be rolled out by next year.
This is the Google news search about the current events in Syria. As you teach students about how to build a PLN, creating a Google news search (and subscribing to it through an RSS reader) are vital for students to understand. Click on this link to see the current news and click the subscribe button at the bottom to determine how you want to subscribe to the link and which RSS reader you'd like to use (if you don't already have an RSS reader.) I use Google reader, but my students use iGoogle.
If your students are studying the French election, here are some resources, videos, and other information to discuss what has just happened in France with Socialist Francois Hollande winning over incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy. (One note, Hollande is promising a 75% income tax for the richest!) Use these resources to make this current event relevant. (High school social studies teachers, this is the kind of thing important in your classrooms.)

CNN student news returns. This is a great resource!
Student summaries of what they learned in the Arab-Israeli conflict simulation with the University of Michigan - as their final summary, they were to create movies summarizing their learning- the assignment and final videos were on this page. Overall, I'm very pleased with what they learned in this course - current events and history classes use this simulation. Simulations and role plays give such deeper knowledge than just class discussions.

Used across the west and southwest for decades, bar-wrapped concrete pipe is becoming increasingly accepted for water system pipelines in other parts of the country. However, many young engineers and project managers are unfamiliar with its attributes and applications.
To educate them, Hanson Pressure Pipe is bringing the material directly to them via a "training trailer." Stocked with segments, cross-sections, joint configurations, and sample spools, the company's demonstration trailer has appeared at the Chesapeake AWWA Section Conference and the Richmond, Va., WaterJam.
Produced to American Water Works Association standard AWWA-C-303, bar-wrapped pipe combines the physical strength of steel with the structural and protective properties of high-strength cement mortar. Hanson Pressure Pipe makes the pipe in diameters ranging from 10 inches through 64 inches.
"The trailer provides hands-on education that will help municipalities with the specification process as well as the installation and long-term management of their pipelines," says Senior Vice President of Sales and Engineering Ken Primavera.
To schedule an appointment, contact a Hanson field representative.

Claiming that Loveland school officials have changed their story about why they disciplined her 7-year-old son, a woman said she is removing the child from an elementary school and home-schooling him.
Mandie Lorraine Watkins, 30, of Loveland also said Saturday that she believes school officials leaked her criminal background to news organizations to discredit her.
"I'm sticking with my story," Watkins said in a phone interview. "I have a less-than-stellar past. I made bad choices when I was young. This wasn't about me. It was about my son."
On Tuesday, Watkins announced to regional news organizations that her second-grader at Mary Blair Elementary School had been suspended from school for tossing "imaginary grenades" at a "box of evil." The national media picked up the story, and she was interviewed on CNN, saying it was yet another example of school officials overreacting to a young child's actions.
But on Friday, the Thompson School District issued a news release indicating that Watkins' son was disciplined instead after a teacher saw him throwing rocks at other children on the school's playground. The principal imposed a two-hour, in-school suspension for the student's behavior, according to the release.
On Saturday, teachers and members of Mary Blair Elementary School's parent-teacher organization announced that they will hold rallies at 8 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. Thursday in "support of the Mary Blair community" to change the recent media focus on "negativity."
Watkins said school officials on Wednesday told her that her son was only pretending to throw something. But after she was in the spotlight, she said, the story changed to real rocks.
"My son was punished for something he didn't do. I chose to remove my children from the school because we could not resolve the trust issues," she said. "It looks like it's going to be home-schooling for the rest of the year."
Watkins said she is also removing a daughter from the same elementary school.
Commenting on a 7News report about her criminal history, Watkins said she made some mistakes when she was young but that she was also falsely accused of arson — repeatedly.
Watkins said when she was 18, she worked at a Loveland retirement home and was falsely accused of setting a fire in an elderly woman's room. Her public defender talked her into pleading guilty to a lesser charge of second-degree arson because she was pregnant with her first child and was worried about a lengthy prison term, she said.
"It was about my children," Watkins said.
She said that in 2009 her dog saved her and the lives of her children after her Greeley home caught on fire. But she was charged with arson and child abuse, according to Weld County District Court records.
She says the only reason she was accused of arson in 2009 was because of the earlier conviction. She denies setting the fire. She pleaded guilty to a charge of false reporting, and the arson and child-abuse charges were dismissed.
"Once I got into trouble, I couldn't get out of it," Watkins said.
Watkins was also charged with false reporting in 2001 and forgery in 2004. She acknowledges she lied then when she was young.
But she insisted she's not lying about what happened with her son. Watkins added that a series of three car crashes when she was 18 and 20 caused brain damage that affects her judgment.

A beautiful FREE photo book worth £30.82. Capture your Red Letter Days experience with a sleek and stylish PhotoBook from Photobox. This Small Softcover Book with 43 pages is simple to design and is the perfect way to share memories of your day with friends and family.
The Segway is the latest technological development and a must-have for those who love moving gadgets - in fact it's one of the most unique driving experiences around! They say it is as simple as walking, but the skill of being able to balance on two wheels is important, to get the feeling of hovering above ground. To help get started, an instructor will provide fundamental instruction and a safety briefing to ensure familiarity with the controls. Once ready, jump aboard the Segway onto a natural track through wooded or open surroundings (depending on venue), and get straight into racing practise. There are even overtaking sections to add a competitive element to the experience. To conclude this day out, there will be a certificate presentation.
A minimum of once a month, a maximum of four times a month (depending on venue chosen) from May - December.
Min age 10 - 12 and those under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to sign a disclaimer. Min weight 45kg (seven stone), maximum weight is 117kg (18.5 stone). Safety dictates pregnant woman cannot participate.
This experience may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (i.e. ice or snow) which would make Segway driving dangerous. Contacted will be made if the experience is cancelled.
Lasts for approximately an hour, including a briefing and Segway driving time.
Share Segway racing time with between four and ten other participants.
Not all venues include a waiting area for spectators but they can watch the riders (a maximum of two in Scotland) from a number of trackside areas.
Dress appropriately for this outdoor activity and be aware that you may get muddy. All safety equipment (full body protection and a helmet) will be supplied by the venue. We recommend wearing flat, sturdy covered shoes or trainers and gloves.
Segways are eco-friendly as they have zero emissions. Each vehicle runs for up to 24 miles on 14p of electricity.
We started with a briefing session followed by some training and then spent time driving round an undulating track in the woods. The hour flew by and we'll be looking to do a longer rally soon
My wife received the Segway experience for two from her work colleagues on her retirement. She was very apprehensive so we went early and walked the course and looked at the machines whilst they were on charge. The briefing was very thorough, explaining how the Segway works and we were given a demo of the controls. Once started. an instructor led us around the course pointing out any difficult parts, giving advice on how to tackle them. We were then let loose on our own and my wife still being nervous travelled very slowly. However, after three laps she realised there was nothing to be afraid of and got quicker and quicker. By the end when we were called off the course she wanted to carry on, and made me promise to take her again soon for another go.. The instructors were amazing and very professional, looking after her until she gained confidence. Can't wait to go again
Pretty daunting when you first step on but in no time you master the technique and your off on the rally trail. A very unusual experience but great fun and will definitely go again
Brilliantly run and very entertaining day out. Thanks.
The instructors were very encouraging and after a an hour of whizzing increasingly fast around the course, we are ready for the world! Alot of laughs - will do again!
Great fun and was very well explained how to drive them. Perfect for something a little different.
Really friendly guys running the experience, a great course.. all in all had a fab time.
Yet another adventure ticked off the list. I took my other half as the 2nd person. One of us took to it like a duck to water, the other more like bambi on the frozen lake. Great training was given and a course with some interesting twists/turns. There was certainly a good rally going on, only a small group are on each session, which means the more competitive have a chance to shine. However the meeker adventurer can still enjoy a few laps (with the use of the pull-ins) and get a great experience on this unusual mode of transport.
Segway was a great experience. The instructors were brilliant and really patient. Would highly recommend this as a great day out. The tracks were exciting and not as boring and mundane as I thought they would of been.
We had a great time when we went on the segway rally. The trainers were fab and everyone picked it up really easily. Would definitely go again. Whole experience lasted roughly an hour and a half including the training.
Great guys giving training and organising the event, and ensured that we had a good time on the Segways after training. Stafford venue could be better / more scenic, but trail long enough to have serious fun!
A real thrill to experience a fairly unusual sensation, but soon got the hang of it and thoroughly enjoyed the off-road track.
Unique experience. Good instructors. Safety equipment could do with freshening up!
Whilst my husband could not attend and we could not get hold of anyone to see if his could be re-arranged, the rest of us went and had a brilliant time. Mark and Tom were excellent instructors too.
Not only was Segway a huge amount of fun but Danny and Oz, the instructors, really made the occasion with their good humour and friendly but professional approach.
This may not be the future of personal transport but it was great fun and really easy to get the hang of, mastering it took a little longer. So after only a few laps all but the timid were zooming around quite fast and mostly in total safety, only the over-exuberant had minor falls, and no one actually hurt themselves. So, listen to (and take notice of) the briefing and all will be fine. But the most important thing is, it is really great fun. Absolutely loved it and would do it again any time.
Great fun, took the wife and now she wants one. Would go again but would like to try a longer course.
We had wonderful time trying this new experience, certainly not something I would have expected taking part in but we were pleasantly surprised. After a brief training course you were well set to ride away at your own pace on a well designed course which catered for all abilities. The instructors were both friendly and helpful.
Great atmosphere with awesome instructors
Great venue, great staff, great fun. Would recommend it.

Hi, If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate any comments. I recently have started being unable to sleep at night. I lay down in bed, but for some reason my heart feels like it is going to explode. Now bear with me here as I don't really know how to explain this. I have no physical pain like a heart attack, but It is almost like I forget to breathe and my heart feels like it is beating really fast. I check my pulse, but it isn't beating that fast. As well you know that feeling like you are falling, it is almost like I am falling then need to catch my breath really fast. I find that it is almost like I forget to take a breath. As well just recently I have noticed that my legs started to tingle and go a little numb. As well with my arms a little bit. My legs and arms also always seem very cold when this happens. I also sometimes feel a little bit nauseas when this happens. It just feels like there is this immense pressure on my chest. Now I know this sounds like a heart attack, but again I have no sharp pains like one would think would happen in a heart attack. I am a 28 year old female and have only just recently had this happen to me. The odd part is that it only happens at night. If I lay down during the day I am ok. I really don't know what is happening to me, and like I said I can't sleep at night anymore. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much.

Bill Clinton calls the book 'compelling.' Tim Costello says it's a 'wake-up call' for justice and human rights. Have you ever thought of what could be worse than crushing poverty - and is part of everyday existence for billions of people?
The Locus Effect by Gary A. Haugen and Victor Boutros
- Review by David Brooks, The New York Times
If you're reading this, you are probably not buffeted by daily waves of physical terror. You might fear job loss or emotional loss, but you probably don't fear that somebody is going to slash your throat, or that a gang will invade your house come dinnertime. We take a basic level of order for granted.
But billions of people live in a different emotional landscape, enveloped by hidden terror.
When we send young people out to help these regions, we tell them they are there to tackle 'poverty,' using the sort of economic designation we're comfortable with. We usually assume that scarcity is the big challenge to be faced.
But as Gary A. Haugen and Victor Boutros point out in their gripping and perspective-altering book, The Locust Effect, these places are not just grappling with poverty. They are marked by disorder, violence and man-inflicted suffering.
'The relentless threat of violence is part of the core subtext of their lives, but we are unlikely to see it, and they are unlikely to tell us about it. We would be wise, however, to not be fooled — because, like grief, the thing we cannot see may be the deepest part of their day.'
Haugen is president of a human rights organization called the International Justice Mission, which tries to help people around the world build the institutions of law.
People in many parts of the world simply live beyond the apparatus of law and order. The District of Columbia spends about $850 per person per year on police. In Bangladesh, the government spends less than $1.50 per person per year on police. The cops are just not there.
In the United States, there is one prosecutor for every 12,000 citizens. In Malawi, there is one prosecutor for every 1.5 million citizens. The prosecutors are just not there.
Even when there is some legal system in place, it's not designed to impose law and order for the people. It is there to protect the regime from the people. The well-connected want a legal system that can be bought and sold.
The primary problem of politics is not creating growth. It's creating order. Until that is largely achieved, life can be nasty, brutish and short.

Qualcomm grabbed the largest share of the $7.9 billion global market for smartphone application processors in 2011, according to industry research firm Strategy Analytics.
The San Diego wireless chip giant's Snapdragon processor led the market in terms of chips shipped for the first time, beating out longtime market leader Texas Instruments, Strategy Analytics said in a recent report.
Qualcomm also led in smartphone application processor revenue with a roughly 50 percent share.
After Qualcomm, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Marvell and Broadcom grabbed the most revenue in 2011.
Application processors are the brains behind smartphones. They differ from today's top performing computer processors in that, while they're less powerful, they also consume much less power. That allows smartphones to access the mobile Web and perform other tasks with all-day battery life.
Boston-based Strategy Analytics found that the smartphone application processor market surged 70 percent in 2011 as more text-and-voice phone owners upgrade to smartphones — a trend that is expected to continue over the next few years.
About 472 million smartphones were shipped worldwide last year, according to industry research firm Gartner. That's less than one-third of the 1.5 billion mobile devices sold worldwide.
According to Qualcomm, Snapdragon processors have been built into 300 smartphones, tablets and other gadgets to date. They are being designed into 350 additional products under development.
Sravan Kundojjala, senior analyst with Strategy Analytics, said Qualcomm benefited because Snapdragon supports several different software platforms including Android and Windows Phone 7. Qualcomm also has long-term relationships with phone makers as a supplier of modem chips that connect devices to wireless networks.

Hi guys,
I've been seeing a gradual increase in this tufty, fluffy, cobweb-like growth especially where there is the most light exposure. I've attached a photo of it growing on Java Fern leaves. Upon removal (it comes off very easily), it looks brownish on my finger, and it disintegrates into a mush when I rub it. The tank is still establishing, is currently an empty fishless aquatic garden. Hardness 15 dGH, KH 10, PH ~8. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
upon further searching, it might be filamentous diatoms seeing that it turns to mush when I rub it between my fingers - does that sound plausible? I have been seeing the brown dusty type of diatoms already.

4-17-06 - Oklahoma is a step closing to legalizing tattooing. Oklahoma is currently the only state where tattooing is illegal but the state House of Representatives voted 70-to-28 today to legalize the practice.
The House also amended the bill to forbid anyone under 18 from getting a tattoo in the state and to require a parent consent and be present for anyone under 18 to get a body piercing. Under the bill tattoo artists and parlors must be licensed by the state and would be regulated and inspected by the state Health Department.
The bill now goes back to the state Senate which must pass the House amendments.

In this Washington Post opinion piece, Richard Stearns, president of World Vision U.S., examines the role that Christians have played in the global effort to eradicate AIDS, noting the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) is being held in Washington, D.C., this week. "Two decades ago, no one would have predicted that Christians would so quickly change their response to the HIV and AIDS epidemic from criticism to compassion," he writes, and provides a history of the Christian response. He concludes, "As thousands gather for the International AIDS Conference this week, with the end of AIDS in sight, let's focus on our role and responsibility as Christians in continuing this important work until we truly achieve an AIDS-free generation" (7/25).

text: As the home of Italian cinema, Cinecittà has seen the production of many classic films such as La dolce vita and Satyricon. Since the days of Ben Hur, the studios have welcomed international productions, recent examples include Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York and Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Cinecittà also hosts TV productions, such as Grande Fratello, the Italian version of Big Brother, where the Big Brother house is built on Cinecittà's premises. Additionally, the BBC/HBO series Rome was filmed here from 2004-2007, the show being widely acclaimed for its sets and designs. BBC Wales reused some of these sets for an episode of the 2008 series of Doctor Who set in ancient Pompeii.

Peter Feigl spoke of the Quakers and Catholic nuns who helped him survive the Holocaust.
On Thursday, the first order of business was to hear the story of Peter Feigl's survival in the mountain village of La Chambon sur Lignon. The teachers received a DVD copy of Peter's story that was featured in the 2005 MTV Documentary, I'm Still Here. Peter spent most of the week with us; until Thursday morning, few of us knew of Peter's miracle.
Soon after, everyone was packed up and off to our home for the afternoon – we were guests of The Betsy Hotel where a screening of the movie Triumph of the Spirit would be presented by its director, Robert M. Young. Prior to the showing however, we were privileged to be present for a photographic presentation by the noted photographer Richard Bluestein. His photo essay on Eastern Europe's concentration camps was a most poignant introduction to Triumph of the Spirit. Robert M. Young spoke before the film, and answered questions after the screening in The Betsy's Hotel's B Bar Room.
The Betsy Hotel also hosted lunch for our group, and afterwards its staff created a space at the restaurant for Olga Drucker to tell her incredible story of the Kindertransport. Nicholas Winton's program saved her and thousands of other children, and she was a great testament to this fact. Olga reminded the group that out of all the nations of the world, it was only England that was willing to accept the Jewish children. Olga's book, Kindertransport was given to everyone in our group, and she signed each copy.
It was not long after our beautiful morning that we made preparation for the 18th Annual Holocaust Remembrance Project Awards Dinner. Edward James Olmos was to be our key note speaker, but he bowed out and Robert M. Young offered to fill in for him. We were so pleased to have our master of ceremonies be Michael Putney senior political reporter for Miami's Local 10 news and a columnist for the Miami Herald. Also gracing the evening was Rabbi Eliot Pearlson who asked the question we all still think of, "What are you doing here?"
Prior to dinner, each student partnered with a Holocaust survivor from our week in South Florida to light one of 12 candles of remembrance – 11 for the victims of the Holocaust, and 1 for all those who our world has lost to genocide since World War II. We think of the starving in Somalia as we think of that 12th candle. This part of the program was accompanied by the beautiful voice of Rivka Jacobs who sang a beautiful version of Aveniu Malkeinu. All of our senses were awakened by this evening – we pledged again to never forget.
After dinner, Steven Sonberg, managing partner of Holland & Knight came to the stage to congratulate the students and teachers, and to thank the survivors. He spoke of Holland & Knight's pride in leading the Holocaust Remembrance Project for 17 full years. Following him was Shalva Ginsparg of Hollywood, Florida and winner of the 2010 Holocaust Remembrance Project. Shalva reflected on being an alumni of the Holocaust Remembrance Project, and spoke well of its impact in her life.
Soon it was time for the awarding of scholarships. Each first-place finalists came to the stage to accept his and her award from Elias Matsakis and Marie Lefere, president and chair of the Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation. The top scholarship went to Andrew Eckholm who read his essay from the podium.

Summary:Turn-of-the-century novelist Ernest Pratt created a dashing literary hero, Nicodemus Legend, the main character is his series of dime novels set in the wild West. Pratt's clever tales are written in the first person, giving readers the idea that the exploits are real and that Pratt is actually Legend, an adventurous man dedicated to justice and science. When Pratt learns that a warrant has mistakenly been issued for Legend's arrest in Colorado, he travels there to clear the name of his hero. He soon meets an admirer of his books -- an eccentric European scientist/inventor, Janos Bartok -- who has taken the liberty of using the Legend persona in order to help the local townspeople.

We're still having trouble with the EPS option on the shop. It's at their end, and it's effecting every EPS customer, so they're working on it. Until then you can put your credit card in through PayPal if you like.
I'll be extending the Seasonal sale a few days because of this, so everyone can get a crack at it.
You've got to be kidding me...
Okay, the lottery is up and appears to be working despite a few false starts... however thanks to the Curse of Ages that has been placed on Alteil by ancient gods, there is a problem. For some reason, during last night's reset, the GM Costume card data didn't transfer over correctly from the test server. The cards still work fine and you can build a deck with them and play with them as normal. You can also view their stats as normal during a duel. However, in the shop and in the Card File, all of their stats are undefined, including their names... magical. We won't be able to fix this until maintenance tonight, so you'll have to know what cards you got by recognizing what we, the GM's are dressed up as. Here's a hint, the guy with the beard is supposed to be Forest Sorceress / Antilla.
Oh, and did I mention that EPS isn't working right now? We're working on it, but until then you can put your credit cards through PayPal. Who said it was okay for my life to be like that mole guy's from the Simpsons?
In a strange twist of fate, we lost the rights to the Alteil Game Music and Sound Effects last night.
But never fear, the GM's stayed up all night re-recording all of the Music and Effects tracks! Unfortunately, dwildstar and Lupos didn't have any music instruments or music playing software, so they had to improvise. They did such a good job however, I imagine most of you won't even notice!
Last year, almost exactly one year ago... it was on the first day of April, we lost the rights to all of the Alteil Art for exactly one day! It was a harrowing time, but myself and the other GM's (mostly the other GM's) stayed up all night and redrew every single card so the game could go on.
To commemorate this, we're having a seasonal art sale of these hand crafted masterpieces, THURSDAY April 1 and FRIDAY April 2... eight which have been offered before in a seasonal lottery shortly after the original event, and 8 which have never been offered before.
Just to sweeten the deal, and since we're on the topic of weird alternate cards, remember last Halloween when the GM's dressed up as different cards and took pictures? Well, I don't blame you, I'm trying to forget it too. Anyway, we picked 8 of those cards to add to the mix too. As an added bonus, none of them will involve me in a shell bra.
As has become very nearly almost (kinda) a tradition around here on Saturdays, there will be a COMMUNITY TOURNAMENT on this Saturday the 3rd at 1 PM EST.
This time Peralisc2 is moving forward with the proceedings, and his plan is for something a little different, a Falkow-Lawtia tournament. He's got very specific rules, so be sure to read them on the official thread here.
Even if you don't have the cards for this Sphere-specific cross color showdown, you can be sure that the decks running around will be very unique. No one has more clever tricks then Falkow, and no one has more dirty tricks then Lawtia... or is it the other way around? Seeing how these unique decks can be put together and run is a real treat and a learning experience, so I recommend everyone stop by the Training Arena on Saturday to watch some of the matches!
As always there will be modest PRIZES...
1st: 50 Gran, 10 Point cards2nd: 10 Point CardsFinalists: 2 Point
CardsIn addition, EVERYONE will receive 1 Point Card provided
they play at least 1 game as a participation prize.
So just a short post here as it's the end of the day and I must run, but I wanted to post this. As you may have read in the rankings post I was at PAXEAST this past weekend. The interesting thing is that a few weeks ago (when Edgar was still here) I was talking to him and Anna about it and she asked if I would be cosplaying. The answer of course, should have been no. But I, like the wise arse that I am, made some joke about what crazy odl obscure video game would be worthy of me dressing up. Edgar, in a moment of surprising clarity said "Seaman!". We all had a good laugh and I said "If some one makes me a Seaman custom/hat I would totally wear it. luckily(?) for me I was talking to the ever amazing AnnaTheRed, craft master extraordinaire. She, without missing a bit said "I''ll do it", and my fate was sealed. Much as I would liek to sit here pretending to be to cool for school, I am not. I love this hat. It is possibly the single greatest hat ever put to head. Having it on did slow down our travels through the hallways a bit but thankfully it was obscure enough that I was usually only stopped 2-3 times every time I wondered around.
So, without further adieu, I present to you, me...
It's time to get back to basics. Many of you probably remember that the first Arakis' Quest was the one where you could only use 1* rarity cards. This one's going to be similar, the only difference being you must use only 2* cards.
Listen I'll tell you the Alteil Rank is incredible, even recommended to give you gran like instead of a Credit Card you just play a game to get some in game cash. Point with your mouse at the arena button to earn some.
So I spent the weekend at PAXEAST. Sorry if any of you where there, I didn't have the fore thought to post in the forum about it as I was mighty busy last week, as I have been since Edgar's departure, and I had even more to do before a long weekend. Would have been nice to see some of you if anyone was in attendance but I was not there in any official capacity. In fact this is the first time in my 30 year long nerd life that I have been to a "con" just as an attendee. I've worked more anime cons that I can remember, and been to tons of video game events over the years, including the Last 2 PAX's, but it's a very different experience just being there for the fun of it. Long story short I had a great time. Some very entertaining panels. Expo hall was a bit disappointing but perhaps having been to PAX prime twice and E3 4 times I may be biased. One of the highlights for me at PAX is always the Frontalot concert. Sadly this one was delayed by over an hour so instead of being over at 12:30 it didn't start till 1am. As such it was cut a bit short, a crime IMHO, especially considering they could have cropped some of the other bands a bit more. Front was the head liner goshdarnit! Where was I? Oh, yes, rankings!
As always anyone who has fought in the arena and busted some mad nerd rhymes receives at least 10 gran. Listed below are your top 5 Iczers, top 3 Guilds, and guilds that have become official.
The Avatar Sale is up and we've ended up with a lot of hair...
We've got the KP base avatar, the Forest of Hate Monster avatar, Diondora's outfit and hair, his and her suits, two new base avatars, elves (complete with anime elf ears) three pets, and 7 new hairstyles including the much requested red hair.
As always, all Gran prices are half for Friday and Saturday.
This Friday (tomorrow), the 26th day of march, and the following Saturday (asate), the 27th day of September, in the year of some peoples lord, 2010, we here at Alteil will be unleashing a wave of new (in my best Hank Hill Voice)"avatars and avatar accessories". As is our way these will all be half price for the first two days they are on sale (see last sentence for specific days). Some of the highlights include:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Florida's defense couldn't have been more impenetrable underneath if the Gators had planted an "Off Limits" sign in the paint Saturday night, leaning on its strength inside to overpower No. 11 seed Dayton 62-52 in the South Regional final at the FedEx Forum.
Florida, the NCAA Tournament's overall No. 1 seed, will take a 30-game winning streak into its first Final Four since winning the 2007 national championship. The Gators (36-2) had reached the Elite Eight the past three years but couldn't get past that hurdle — until now.
"I'm still in disbelief that we're going to be one of four teams playing for a national championship," said center Patric Young, one of four senior starters for the Gators.
Dayton (26-11), making its first Elite Eight appearance since 1984, scored only 18 points in the paint and, more telling, shot just 11-for-30 — on two-point attempts.
A crowd of 15,443 watched the Flyers battle and try to find something that worked. Dayton finished with a slightly higher shooting percentage (.394 to the Gators' .375) but couldn't drive the lane and got to the free-throw line for only eight attempts.
"Our defense and mind-set is the foundation of our team," said Florida's Young. "We take pride in disrupting the other team and locking down on the other team."
Florida just had too much for Dayton. When the Flyers cut their deficit to 55-45, the Gators' sixth man, 6-foot-8 freshman forward Dorian Finney-Smith, powered for an offensive rebound and, after a kick-out pass, star senior guard Scottie Wilbekin buried a 3-pointer.
PHOTOS: Florida vs. Dayton, 2014 NCAA basketball tournament
Wilbekin, the Southeastern Conference player of the year, added another honor Saturday night as the South Regional's most outstanding player. He finished with a game-best 23 points.
"I'm so proud of what these guys have accomplished," Florida coach Billy Donovan said.
At the other end, Florida defenders clogged up passing lanes and stayed in front of shooters. Dayton had pulled to within 58-50 with 1:05 to go but threw a pass away, and into the scorer's table, while trying to force something when there was nowhere to go.
"When you drove in there against them," said Dayton forward Dyshawn Pierre, "you had to think pass because they have Patric Young and (Will) Yeguete in there."
Pierre, a 6-6 sophomore, led the Flyers with 18 points. Wilbekin helped shut down Dayton's top perimeter player, Jordan Siebert, who failed to score during 30 minutes on the court.
Mr. Big Shot, also known as Florida's Wilbekin, shined in the spotlight once again — hitting a walk-off 3-pointer from the top of the key just before the half- time horn.
That capped a 15-1 run by the Gators to finish the first half, giving the overall top seed a commanding 38-24 lead at the break.
Dayton wouldn't go away quietly, however. Devin Oliver and Pierre opened the second half with back-to-back 3-pointers and, after just one minute, the Flyers had pulled to within eight points.
But Florida never gets rattled. The Gators retaliated by pounding the ball inside. If it wasn't senior forward Casey Prather driving down the left side of the lane, it was Young working underneath with his soft one-handers.
Florida won despite making just five baskets in the second half. The Gators, more than any other team in the country, can win different ways.
"I thought we wore down a little bit late in the game," Donovan said. "Dayton does that to you. We didn't win pretty. But we're moving on."

text: aerators City Turns to Aeration to Solve Water Woes By James Lenz • Jul 2, 2012 Carthage is trying a new solution to a persistent problem last year-water discoloration. The city's drinking water was never unsafe, just unsavory. It was frequently a dull green. The city liberally applied chemicals to the water with little effect. Second-ward Alderman Gary Smith says the three aerators will bubble air through the lake. The action will thoroughly mix the layers of water and reduce algae formation. He says, "This is kind of an ongoing process. It might take a year to get the lake rehabilitated."

Scientists this week began assessing what may be the most important part of an upcoming mission to look for life on Mars: location, location, location.
Europe's ExoMars rover, slated for launch in 2018, will be the most focused and ambitious attempt to find evidence of past or present life on Mars since NASA's Viking expeditions four decades ago.
NEWS: Europe Probe's Sole Mission: Find Mars Life
ExoMars' planners aren't starting from scratch, however. Recent findings from NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity mission, for example, indicate that ExoMars may not have drill down very deep -- or perhaps not at all -- to collect viable samples for analysis.
ExoMars will carry a drill capable of burrowing up to 6.6 feet (2 meters) into the planet's surface. Scientists figure that at that depth, organic materials -- if they exist -- would be shielded from the onslaught of damaging radiation that constantly pummels the planet.
"One of the things that Curiosity has been able to do is understand that not all surfaces on Mars are created equal and have equal ages," California Institute of Technology geologist John Grotzinger, who leads the rover's science team, told Discovery News.
ANALYSIS: Mars Rover Opportunity Faces New Threat: Budget Ax
Last year, researchers discovered that Mars' winds sometimes do the digging for them, exposing relatively fresh rocks at the base of scarps.
"One result from MSL that may be useful is that the depth (to collect samples) maybe less than 2 meters," ExoMars project manager Vincenzo Giorgio told Discovery News. "We can definitely accommodate that."
"If it turns out that drilling is complicated and inefficient, you can save that capability for when you need it the most," Grotzinger added.
Unlike ExoMars, Curiosity was not designed to look for life directly. Instead, it is assessing if a region of Mars, known as Gale Crater, has or ever had the necessary ingredients and environments to support life.

Pet Tips
1. Make sure there is plenty of water available for all pets but particularly dogs who are kept outside.
2. NEVER leave an animal in a car without an open window!!!
3. Keep lots of dry food available for your pets when you are away as hot weather makes wet food dry or, worse, subject to parasites.
4. If you plan to walk your dog on black pavement in summer, try it yourself without shoes. It is hot!
5. Barking dogs bother your neighbors more when the windows are open.
6. Beware the 4th of July. If your pet is sensitive to loud noises you should make sure they are inside and, if possible, not left alone.
7. Fleas and summer go together. Think Advantage, Frontline and baths. When bathing cats, be careful!
8. Owners of inside/outside cats should try not to freak out upon finding a rodent -- dead or alive – in the house. Cats are nocturnal. Unfortunately so are mice and rats.
9. Think like your pet and don't do anything to it you would not do to yourself!
10. NEVER EVER let a cat or small dog out if you live in Coyote territory where lack of water or food drives them from their natural territory.

Cancun's beaten path is paved with white sand and surrounded by turquoise waters. Its spring break is famous among college students, and the immensely popular beach destination also caters to families, couples, and other travelers year round.
Cancun's Hotel Zone is lined with all-inclusive resorts offering Caribbean-front accommodations, acres of pools, and beaches complete with bars and lounge chairs. English is widely spoken, and most resorts have a number of restaurants on-site.
There's no shortage of things to do in Cancun, from simply lounging on the beach to surfing, jet skiing, golfing, and snorkeling. Iconic Maya ruins such as Chichen Itza, with their soaring pyramids and ancient avenues, are well worth a day trip; and visitors looking for a slower-paced beach scene can catch the ferry from Cancun to nearby Isla Mujeres.
Because so many airlines fly there from cities around the U.S., airfare to Cancun is competitively priced and often among the most affordable to Mexico. Its location on the Yucatan Peninsula makes the Cancun International Airport an ideal entry point for travelers heading to Cozumel, Merida, and the cities of the Maya Riviera, including Playa del Carmen and Tulum.

240PPI? How to change NEF
Now, I know this has been asked before. I DID use the search function, but couldn't find HOW to change it in the camera to set my NEF files on my D200 to 300ppi instead of that default 240. Can anyone explain in plain English how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
