Mauritian flying fox (Pteropus niger)
|Also known as:
|Greater Mascarene flying fox, Mauritan flying fox, Mauritius fruit bat
|Grande Roussette Des Mascareignes, Roussette Noire
|Zorro Volador Negro De Mauricio
|Pteropus (1)
|Wingspan: 80 cm (2)
Forearm length: 14.3 - 16.5 cm (3)
Female weight: 380 - 540 g (3)
Classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (1) and listed on Appendix II of CITES (4).
The only fruit bat still to occur on the island of Mauritius (2) (3), the Mauritian flying fox is a large bat with golden-brown fur, which is lighter on the face and back, and a dark muzzle. Like other members of the Pteropodidae, it has a fox-like face, large eyes, claws on the first and second digits, and no tail (5) (6). The wings are relatively long and narrow, well adapted for travelling long distances to seek out food in the forest canopy (5). Flying foxes are said to have a noticeable, characteristic odour (6).
The Mauritian flying fox is found on the island of Mauritius, in the western Indian Ocean (1) (6) (7) (8). It is thought to be extinct from nearby Réunion (6) (7) (8), although a few individuals have been reported on the island in recent years, possibly blown over from Mauritius by cyclones (1).
This species is usually found near the tops of ridges in primary forest, as well as in areas containing a mixture of native and introduced trees (3).
The Mauritian flying fox roosts in trees, in large colonies known as 'camps', which may number from a dozen or so to a few hundred individuals (7). Although some foraging has been reported during the day, most occurs at night, when the bats may range up to 24 kilometres from the roost in search of food (3) (7). The diet consists mainly of fruit (3) (7), supplemented with flowers and leaves, which may contain important nutrients such as protein that are low in fruit (3). As in other flying fox species, fruits are squeezed in the mouth to obtain the juices, and the pulp and seeds are usually spat out (6). The Mauritian flying fox is thought to play a vital role in pollination and seed dispersal, helping to maintain plant diversity in Mauritius' highly fragmented landscape (3) (5) (8).
There is little information available on reproduction in the Mauritian flying fox. Mating is thought to take place around April (7), with most births occurring between August and November (6). Flying foxes usually give birth to a single young each year, after a gestation period of around 140 to 192 days. The young is carried by the female for the first three to six weeks of life, and reaches sexual maturity at around 18 to 24 months (6).
The Mauritian flying fox is threatened by ongoing habitat loss in the form of deforestation (1) (3). Only an estimated five percent of the original vegetation of Mauritius still survives (9), and over half the plants the Mauritian flying fox now feeds on are introduced species (3). The Mauritian flying fox is also hunted for food and sport, despite being legally protected (1) (3) (7). Pteropus species reproduce relatively slowly, reducing the rate at which populations can recover from any losses (6), and the limited range of the Mauritian flying fox makes it particularly vulnerable to catastrophic events. In particular, habitat loss, as well as opening up the forest to hunters, compounds the threat from cyclones, which can sweep bats from roosts and devastate vegetation, leaving little food for survivors. These effects can be particularly severe where habitat is limited or of poor quality, and where bat populations are already under pressure (6) (7) (8).
Until recently, the Mauritian flying fox population was considered relatively healthy as a result of active protection and a lack of severe cyclones (1). However, in 2006 the government of Mauritius endorsed a programme to cull the bats because of alleged damage to commercial fruit crops, despite opposition from conservation organisations (1) (10). It is not yet known whether further culling will be supported (1), despite fears it will leave the bat population even more vulnerable to catastrophic declines (10).
The Mauritian flying fox has been officially protected in Mauritius since 1993, and is reported to occur in a number of protected areas, including the Black River Gorges National Park (1) (8). The species is also protected under wildlife regulations in Réunion (7), and international trade in Mauritian flying foxes should be controlled under its listing on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) (4). However, in addition to culling, illegal hunting is still reported to occur (1).
Conservation measures suggested for the species include assessments of population size and status, habitat protection and restoration, captive breeding, education campaigns, and research into the effects of hunting (1) (7) (8) (10). In addition, assessments are needed on the impact of culling and on the effectiveness of netting fruit trees to prevent damage by foraging bats (1). The importance of the Mauritian flying fox as a pollinator and seed disperser means its protection may be crucial not only to its own survival but also to the future of Mauritius' remaining forests (8).

At 6 weeks pregnant... is it normal for there to be no fetus?
I keep reading in books about how my baby should be forming by now: an over-sized head and the beginning of a body, as well as the beginning of ears, and a nose. However when I had my ultrasound done at my doctors visit, my doctor said there was no fetus. The only things visible were my yolk sac, and my gestational sac. Everything was normal, so they said. So, why do I keep reading something different in all my books and magazines? Is this normal?

well, you really wont see a fetus till about eight weeks on up. at six weeks, that all they ARE going to see. Same thing happened to me at six weeks.posted 10/10/2007 by jprice_85
I went to the ER due to stomach pains. They decided to do an ultrasound to rule out an ectopic pregnancy (it wasn't thank god). I was told I was 6 weeks and 1 day...and that it had a heartbeat (114 BPM). I was so happy to hear that because I had a miscarriage back in June '07. Anywho, the ultrasound pictures don't show an actual fetus at 6 weeks. All you will be able to see is a little ring inside a big ring, which I was told was the yolk sac and gestational sac. I tried to ask so many questions when I got that ultrasound to relieve some worries of mine, so I hope that information was of some use to you.posted 12/17/2007 by a_alli82
well,doc will count your week of preg from 1st day last menstrual cycle. where everyone has different cycle length, so does your fertile day (where u will likely conceive).like mine have 38 day cycle (10 days longer than normal woman) where i guess i conceive at day 24 (at 3rd week).other woman who has cycle 28 days will likely conceive at day 14 (at 2nd week). so,eventhough now i'm in 5th. week my baby development so far is not the same than woman who has conceive earlier.Doc even say my embryo is small for 5 weeks preg.maybe u have a longer cycle (more than 28 days), that's why u still can't see the fetus at 6 week while some others have seen their fetus at 6 or 7 weeks.posted 12/29/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
It's definitely ok. This is my first scan at 5 weeks+6 days--> http://www.elftown.com/stuff/IMGP0505s.JPG I first saw the baby at 8 weeks. Sp don't worry! PS- Also try to avoid reading TOO much about pregnancy in the first trimester. I know you're excited but I did the same and I only got more worked up and nervous about being very very careful even where I didn't need to :)posted 01/21/2008 by Cassandrart
I was 6 weeks and 2 days on my first ultrasound.. We could see a little dot ( the fetus ) and here the heartbeat.. however.. some people think they are further along then they actually are.. from my period I was supposed to be more than 7 weeks.. but by the fetal devlopment u could be less..As long as your HCG levels are going up.. then thats a good signposted 01/07/2008 by cw915
That's completely normal. And your right, your baby is growing and developing quickly; yet he/she is still the size of a grain of rice. I went at five weeks and all we were able to see was the sac and then went back at ten weeks and we were able to see our embryo! We could not believe how much he had grown! Just be patient and congrats!!posted 01/29/2008 by Milo'smom
Wow, I just asked this exact same question. I'm supposed to be around 6 weeks or so. I don't remember the day of my last period, so I got an ultrasound last week, to check how far along I am...and the results showed a gestational sac and yolk sac but no embryo. I got a second ultrasound a week later, which showed the same thing....the gestational sac and yolk sac but no embryo. So now my doctor is telling me that my body is trying to miscarry because the embryo is not going to develop....and I can either wait for my body to do it naturally or get a D&C. But then I came on here and read other women going through the exact same thing as me and some of their doctors say that it's normal. So now I just don't know what to do.posted 12/12/2007 by StrawberryHoney
I am going through the same thing. I had an ultrasound yesterday and all they could see was the yolk sac and an embryo. They said there was no heart beat or fetal pull, whatever that means...anyone have an answer??posted 10/22/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
At a little over 5 weeks I went for my first doctor apt. She was worried about an ectopic pregnancy due to some right sided aching I reported. The vaginal U/S showed a gestational sac and yolk sac. No fetal pole or embryo was seen. For that reason they told me to expect a miscarriage in 1-2 days (just so happened to be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day)! Two days later they checked my hCG levels, and they had gone up... one week later I had a repeat U/S and we saw a baby with a heartbeart!!! We were shocked, and angry that the week before we were given no hope at all the week before. 5-6 weeks is really early to see a baby, so don't panic if you have an early U/S you may have to wait a few weeks. Also, the right sided aching was a 2.5 cm cyst that resolved at 7 weeks. One thing that helped me was reading these storie. Keep writing gals.posted 12/31/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I was 6wks 4days pregnant when I had my 1st ultrasound. I could see the embryo attached to the yolk sac & there was a very visible heart beat. Depending on your cycle, the rate of development will vary. What you read online & in magazines is just 'average'.posted 05/04/2008 by Mommy2EmiKate

RAIDMAX Orion Case Review
Reviewed by: BluePanda
Reviewed on: October 25, 2012
Price: $99.99
Raidmax is a company founded in 1988 determined to meet user requirements with innovative designs and excellent performance with quality products. Today they are really known for making PSUs and chassis, but they also have some coolers under development. Many of you may know Raidmax from an earlier development, the Scorpio chassis (go Google it). It had an alien-like eye on the front panel, which although comical now, was a hit in the business then; my old friend had one of these until he finally upgraded just about a year ago. Ugly these days, but I guess it was cool back in '03.
Anyway, Raidmax may have another Scorpio genius in the form of today's standards. The Raidmax Orion, which has a bit of the CM HAF 932-esk look to it, follows in the hits, at least with today's standards. It's black on the outside with blue accenting fans. The switches for the external bays are backed in blue as well. Inside is a little something different – and something I have wanted to do – the motherboard tray is actually in blue, different from the rest of the black innards. The last time we looked at a $99 case it was the CM Storm Scout; let's hope the Orion is ready to compete. Today we'll take a look at the Orion from Raidmax and see what this blue machine has to offer for the blue in BluePanda.
Closer Look:
It has been a while since I've had anything from Raidmax, and actually I guess it would be the first item from Raidmax I've owned (though I did have my friends Scorpio case for a bit after he retired it). The box is rather large, as the prize inside you will see later isn't quite so big. The front has an image of the case in working order with the glowing blue LED fans in the front and looks tall standing there. The background emits an outer-space-like feel to go along with the Orion name – and perhaps if they are as clever as one would hope, the stars are a part of the Orion's Cluster. Either way – it's obvious the case is known as the Orion and has USB 3.0, a fan controller, and a stickle HDD cage from the front of the box.
The back of the box gets us to the details, quickly showing off all the features inside and out. I don't want to spoil them all here but I'll point out a few of the good ones: pre-routed cable management, tool-free installation design, side panel handles, and water cooling support. We'll get to how I felt about some of these later when we open it up, as well as the rest of the features shown here. The two sides of the box were nearly identical. Both show the basic specifications (on the specs page) and either a PLU code or compliant images. My only frustration at this point was the fact that I could only actually use one of the box handles (you'll see why in the next shots).
The box opened up nicely with no problems – I couldn't imagine having trouble cutting open the tape on top of the box, but I'm sure some will…Either way, like I mentioned before, the contents seem a bit small/empty compared to the size of the box. Peering in over the edge you'll struggle to see the top of the case in this first picture (it's really in there I promise). I guess you can chock this one up to the packing company and getting it to your doorstep in once piece, but you may be a bit shocked when the contents are a little small (though good things do come in small packages – we hope).
Puling it out, the case is actually encapsulated in a nice fabric Raidmax-logoed bag and two cardboard padded caps. The caps have specifically glued-in foam inserts for this case. However, the two cardboard caps are solid on the edges, thus preventing you to actually push in the handle holds on the external box – at least without feeling like you might break something. The packing appears to be really nice and if your delivery driver decides he wants to see how far he can throw it – well, you still might get it in one piece. Props to the packing Raidmax!
Closer Look:
Okay, enough about the box – I didn't even let you have the fun of seeing the case on the last page. Well let's dive in and look at the case already. The sides have a nice symmetrical look with the exception of the grill for an additional fan on the side of the case. You can already see the blue bleeding through the holes – I'm very excited to see inside (we'll have to wait). From this angle you can see the ridges from the front of the case sticking out almost like little shelves or ladders, as well as the control knobs up top on the front I/O panel. Let's keep looking around…
The front of the case itself lets some of the innards out with blue accents around the release clips for the external bay covers. Raidmax is in all capitals on the front, but isn't overdone in a way that screams at you from far across the room. I'm still not a big fan that it's even there – but I guess that's just a bit of the "wanna customize" in me. I don't like logos and branding on things; but that's beyond the point of this review…the front of the case is in other views clean and simple. The back of the case follows to give another "pop" of color in the PCI-E slot covers. I like the touch of color and it really adds to the overall appeal of this case. A 120mm black fan can be seen from the back here along with three water support ports to the right of the PCI-E slots. Here you can already see the issue I ran into later with the handles on the side panels; the handles don't really fold flat if you have cables from video cards in the way could you close the other with any type of tubing through the ports. It's probably a result of a bunch of good ideas thrown to make one idea that doesn't muster up to a solid idea anymore, but I don't think it ends the case entirely.
Getting a closer look at the front external bay covers I again want to emphasize the blue accents. I wouldn't say the light baby blue here is exactly on the inside but I can't whine too much about it as I know how hard it is to get anything painted plastic to match any painted metal – it just doesn't even work; car manufactures still struggle with this. Getting past this, the little black release lever just pushes to the left to release the panel. Pulling all three out reveals your classy rotate to remove plates that once removed don't go back in. I always found these fun to twist and turn waiting to see when it might come out like a jack in the box, but after so many times – it's no longer exciting and I wish manufactures would just ship cases without them. If they were there for support – then what was supposed to happen when I couldn't put the piece back after getting rid of my optical drive? Meh, it's one of those age old manufacturing problems "we've always done it this way" evoking little change. No matter --
Taking a look up on the top side of the case you can get a look at the front I/O panel and the essential control panel of any case. Here we've got a power button, reset button, respective LEDs, two USB 2.0 ports, a single USB 3.0 port, audio jacks, and knobs for controlling fan LED brightness and fan speed. It isn't anything super fancy, but as always it's always nice to have these things at your fingertips. I will say at this point, the knobs don't feel like the most substantial things in the world – I do worry that they may wear over time, but I don't think I will play with them enough to find out. The back side of this has a little area that may have once been thought to be a handle – though Raidmax covers their ground by not calling this an actual handle; I don't think it would hold under a full case load.
We're back to looking at those side panel handles. However, they are pretty nifty allowing you to swing around the panels like weapons when you first take them off but, I really see no true purpose to having handles here. Really, who carries their side panels around separately from the case? Most of us take them off to put things in or take things out and then put the side panels back on – the need for handles is beyond me. Nonetheless we have handles… that block video card ports and water tubing ports; this just might be a mistake.
Overall it's not a bad looking case from the outside as we've seen so far. There may be a thing or two out of place(such as the side panel handles and plastic fan controller knobs), but what can you do? The case is only 100 bucks so you can't expect the world series on such a low budget; however, if you have paid any attention at all, this might be a heck of a deal once you get it all together.
Closer Look:
The thumb screws on the side panels are plastic thumb screws which made me smile a little less, but I was really just happy to see thumb screws rather than simply case screws. I don't have to find my screw driver just yet! You can still see them in the pictures – I threaded them back in to avoid misplacing them. With the side panels off we finally get that vibrant blue we've, or at last I've, been looking forward to. It's quite blue and it seems like there is a lot more of it than there really is. Only the motherboard tray is actually painted this blue color. If I were to mod a case I'd likely paint the entire frame (mostly because it would be easiest) but just the tray is quite interesting as well. It looks really nice at first glance, and really overall. The back side of the motherboard tray is where your smile might turn upside down again. Unfortunately, all these pass-throughs that look like routing for great cable management are just a mirage. There's little room back here. The fact that the side panel bows out a bit isn't enough to route all your cables this way. Cram as you like – but I promise they won't all fit. Just stick with routing your 24-pin, 4/8-pin and video card connectors on the front side. You can cram what you want through to the back to smash into the drive bays for a cleaner look – but as you will see later – this lack of room on the back side really limits the neatness of a cable system. However, I will give Raidmax props again for including some Velcro ties in place to route the front I/O panel items discreetly, but look a little closer and you'll notice the cables are routed over two of the grommet holes to the backside – cables through here are not fun.
The external drive bay holders are quite nifty. A simple switch from open to close and your drive is held in place. You get two different positions to lock it in, so depending on length and hole placement you are good to go. There are three – one for each slot, the picture shows only two as I pulled one away to play with it. The HDD bays below are another fun story. The trays pull out easily and flex nicely to add a drive but still require that caveman screw to hold things in place. I joke for fun, but in seriousness, I'm always disappointed when I have to go dig out screws for things. The fewer the screws I need, while maintaining a sound build, the happier I am. Anyway, they are neat little trays that clip in and out so once you put them in place – they will stay unless you choose otherwise.
Looking at the HDD bays again, you can see that it's really two stacks of drives here; three on the bottom and two above that. Your two SSDs will have to be caged up in the smaller cage (with four annoying screws to remove – unless you noticed the four holes cutout in the drive bay trays!) – these HDD bays allow a lot for you to decide. First you choose, SSD or HDD and then three drive bays or five. The top two drive bays are easily removed by pressing up on the small lever and pulling forward. The two drives slide out allowing you to use some really long video cards or just increase air flow if you are like me and only tend to have one or two drives in your build. It does pull all the way out and if you take out that short SSD cage that no one likes anyway – you can mount the two drives in parallel, one right next to the other! I ran out of time to mount it up this way for you, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how this would work out. You still get your extra room up top and all five drives in the case as well. Good thinking!
I'm impressed with the number of fans included in this $100 case. Usually with that cost-effective chassis comes a cut somewhere – for the Orion it wasn't the fans. Earlier you saw the 120mm LED fan in the front of the case; well, there are two more on the back of the case as well – one in the rear (120mm black fan) and another up top (also a 120mm black fan). They all seem reasonably quiet, even with them cranked up on the fan controller. They'd certainly be easy to replace with whatever suits your fancy – but they seem to be quite nice fans to start. What will count is how well it cools, and with three fans in this little guy, I think it's safe to bet that this will cool well. Let's hope I don't have to eat my words in testing!
Looking at the bottom of the case you can see the four risers/feet that pull the case up off the floor. It adds to the airflow for your PSU and with the added dust filter helps you keep your rig clean too. You can also see the four screws that hold the smaller SSD cage poking through the bottom of the case. I really never liked these little additions and if I were really to use this case I'd probably take it out permanently. However, if I were to use it, I'd probably try to run the screws the other way. It's quite a tight fit in there already…Plus if you were to add an SSD later in your build, who wants to take their video card and possibly CPU cooler out to do that? Not me…
The fun part is always seeing what bonus goodies come with the case; sometimes things are a little more fun just because of the silly things that are included. The Orion comes with a neat little plastic zipper bag that can be opened and resealed again and again. It makes a nice place to store all the extra screws and that manual you may need later down the road. Not all of you have the container full of miscellaneous screws to put your things together – so knowing where the ones you got are is a good start. Anyway, the bag is neat…But there are some neat things inside it as well. There are a few plastic cable nubs that allow you to help route cables inside the case, a couple Velcro wraps to tie up that unsightly mess in your case, and the necessary screws to get everything in its proper place.
Getting things in this case wasn't too bad. Usually cases of this size and/or price seem to have multiple faults along the way that make every step of getting it together a complete and utter pain – not this one. Looking at it all together it looks like a bit of a tight fit but it really does all fit. Cable management took a little more effort than usual perhaps, but that's true of any case that you can't really fit much behind the motherboard. The blue mobo tray really accents any cables hanging about and encourages a little nudge here and there to make it look a bit better. The easy-to-move HDD cage made it easy to gain a little extra handling room in getting things to fit and since I didn't have to screw it back in place it wasn't one of those "crap" moments when I was done building and realized I needed to put it back in. Overall the build went pretty smooth – all I could ask for is a little more room on the back side of the mobo tray. Do note that the CPU cooler OCC uses barely fits in this case. If you're planning on using a tower cooler be sure to get some measurements on it before trying to cram everything into the case!

Testing the Raidmax Orion required pushing my hardware to heat things up! Testing involved recording temperatures for the CPU, GPU, chipset, hard drives, and overall system during idle and load phases. Recently, OCC upgraded to the ForceGT 240GB SSD from Corsair and has removed the HDD temps from case reviews. Thus, HDTune is no longer a part of the case benchmarking process.
Load was simulated by running Prime95's small FFTs along with 3Dmark Vantage looping for one hour. The maximum temperatures were recorded using HW Monitor. It is important to note that each case is tested from its factory setup, including location of fans, unless otherwise noted.
Testing Setup:
- Processor: Core i7 2600K @ 4.4 GHz 100 x 44
- CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P SE 1366
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z68AP-D3
- Memory: Mushkin 991996 Redline PC3-17000 9-11-10-28 8 GB
- Video Card: XFX HD 7970
- PSU: Antec TruePower New TP-750
- Hard Drive: Corsair ForceGT 240GB
- Optical Drive: N/A
- OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit SP1
Comparison Cases:
- Corsair 600T
- Corsair 650D
- Thermaltake Overseer RX-I
- COUGAR Evolution
- COUGAR Solution
- Thermaltake Commander MS-I
- Bitfenix Raider
- Corsair 300R
- Corsair 550D
- Enermax Fulmo GT
- Cooler Master HAF XM
- Corsair C70
- CM Storm Scout 2
The temperatures under load were rather impressive! Though the same can't be said for the idle temps, the temperatures were right in the middle of the large pack of cases – so in reality there's no complaint. The CPU and chipset load temperatures being so low are likely due to the three fans in the case. The CPU cooler gets the help from the rear 120mm fan as well as the top 120mm fan getting rid of heat. Overall it performed quite well.
In the end, this case really gave a good race for its competition. For the price range on the market, cases at $100 and lower are often not the craziest of cases to play with. After having my hands on some of the upper market cases it's sometimes hard to remember some of the perks you don't always get with the "normal" budget cases. I have rather high expectations after all the cases that have come to my house and to a certain degree I was rather impressed with this Orion case from Raidmax. I will say, though it's a bit out of timing, that the CM Storm Scout 2 I had here just a couple weeks ago was a much more impressive $100 case. The Raidmax Orion doesn't really fall too far behind the Scout 2, with only space and overall quality left to be desired, it's still a catch. The temperature testing proved its worth, though it's hard to say it wasn't just the three fans included to make such impression – but nonetheless, that is what it comes with. It's nice to know what comes to the door is a cooling beast to begin with; thus, there are no worries in ordering a case this size with proven results. It doesn't act as an oven like some of the smaller cases have, I hate to always refer to it as it is a case I greatly disliked…the Outlaw from Bitfenix…it was the true definition of hardware bake.
Overall, I really did enjoy this case. I liked the blue motherboard tray (I've always been a fan of blue in a case) and all the other blue accents tossed around to make a matched theme. The case was easy to build in, regardless of the lack of space on the rear of the motherboard tray. I won't say that I liked the lack of space, but it didn't end it for me with this case. However, the handles on the side panels and cheap plastic fixtures on the front I/O panel did kick this one down the ladder a couple rungs for me. Other than spinning in circles with the a panel in each hand to feel like a helicopter or carrying them and feeling like you are carrying a brief case – the purpose of the handles is just pointless. The handles get in the way of cables or ports making it hard to "close" them and just add to something plastic hanging off the back of the case. Good idea – poor execution. The cheapness of the front I/O panel makes me fear turning up and down my fans; I really don't want the knob to fall off and leave my fans stuck. Just something slightly more substantial would be greatly appreciated, even at the loss of the fan controller (amazing you can buy a fan controller separately!). But when you look past a couple knocking issues it isn't too bad of a case. The Raidmax Orion is a great case for a build on a budget that still wants to have a little pop of color for fun – neat little case.
- Cost!
- Blue accenting
- Cooling under load is great
- Side panel handles are pointless and in the way
- Cheap feel to different parts of the case

When New Bloomfield R-III Schools' nurse approached the Callaway County Ambulance District for suggestions on finding a grant to help fund the purchase of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), she got something even better: The ambulance district donated one to the district.
"We actually had about five defibrillators we had purchased from a medical supply company that went out of business with the intent of using them to boost our Public Access to Defibrillators program," said CCAD Director Charles Anderson. "(The school district) wrote a Ietter explaining what they wanted to do, I took it to the board, and the board approved donating the AED to the school."
Tima Goodnight, New Bloomfield's school nurse, said she wanted the district to have one of the portable defibrillators because, "I had thought all public places need them, and if we have one here at the school district it could save time in an emergency."
"We have great first responders here, but when you have a situation ... every minute does count," Goodnight said. "I'm so thankful for the opportunity for this."

Wednesday morning I'm planning to head out on this route. It will be my second tour, and first solo tour. Last year's tour was only 4 days, and this one will be considerably longer at around 15 days. Everything going for me seems better this year - bike, gear, engine - but I wonder if there's something I left out, or over-packed.

Foresthill teen enjoys the many expressions of dance
By: Bridget Jones, Special to the Journal
Sydney Martin, 13, does ballet, tap, jazz
Foresthill resident Sydney Martin, 13, was 3 years old when she knew she wanted to be a dancer. She noticed some of the girls in her gymnastics class were wearing tutus, and she knew right away that she had to be a part of that world. She said she enjoys dance because it is an expression of the stories that music tells. "I get to explain what the music is saying," Sydney said. She said dance also forces her to forget any outside stresses, because it demands her full attention. "You have to work so hard, and you just have to put it all out there," she said. "You have to actually care. You can't just memorize the stuff." Sydney was born in Citrus Heights and moved to Foresthill about four years ago. She continues to dance at In Sync Dance Studio on Grass Valley Highway where she studies ballet, tap, jazz and Irish dancing. She said she took up Irish dancing because she enjoys learning the dances of other cultures. "It's something different to do," Sydney said. "I like to learn how other countries (dance). I think that's interesting." Sydney said she enjoys all the dance styles she practices for certain reasons. "I like ballet because you have to focus really hard and you learn how to control your body better," she said. "I like tap because of the rhythm, and jazz — it tells more of a story I think." Jessie Krick, co-owner of In Sync Dance and a classically trained ballerina, said Martin is completely dedicated to dance. "I think she has a natural gift," Krick said. "And another thing, she dances with her whole heart. She really puts everything into it." When Sydney was 6 years old, she was already performing in the Sacramento Ballet's annual production of "The Nutcracker." She said these performances helped her learn about how different people express themselves through dance. "I liked watching their performances and seeing how hard they worked and watching how they showed the audience how they felt," Sydney said. Sydney began dancing pointe in ballet when she was 12 years old. Pointe involves standing on one's toes while doing various ballet steps. Martin had to wait for her muscles to develop and for the bones in her feet to stop growing before she could provide the strength that pointe requires. Sydney spends about 10 and a half hours dancing at the studio each week. She said she has considered a career in dance, but also has other plans. "I'd also like to be a doctor too," she said. "I want to be able to help children, and my grandma had Alzheimer's, so I kind of want to help others who have it." Sydney said when she isn't dancing she enjoys reading, riding horses, riding her family's quad and playing with her dog Molly. Jaycee Pratt, 12, Martin's fellow dancer, said she enjoys dancing with one of her best friends, and appreciates the support Martin offers. "She's always my partner for everything," Jaycee said. "She helps me when I forget something, or she tells me if I'm doing something wrong and she helps me correct it." In November 2007 and 2008, Sydney and other In Sync company dancers took trips to Disneyland to tape live performances, which were then aired on Christmas day on ABC. "That was fun because we got to be in a different environment to dance," Sydney said. "It was fun to have my friends excited because they knew how big it was." On top of dancing, she makes time for schoolwork, friends and family. She said her regulated dance schedule has taught her how to manage her time effectively. "I think having an after-school activity helps with schoolwork," she said. "It helps you plan, so you know when you have to get it done. So, you're not sitting and procrastinating all the time." Krick said Sydney is simply enjoyable to be around, and her desire to be a doctor demonstrates her caring, hardworking personality. "I think that kind of wraps it up in a nutshell there," Krick said. Bridget Jones can be reached at email@example.com or comment at Auburnjournal.com.

Shakespearian Photography Competition
Shakespeare Birthplace Trust on the lookout for photos which reference Stratford's favourite son
06 December 2013
People from around the world are being invited to take photos of the road names, cafes, buildings, which have a connection to the world's most famous playwright. To celebrate a brand new exhibition which will welcome visitors to Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is on the lookout for photos which reference Stratford's favourite son. A selection of photos will then be displayed as part of the charity's new exhibition entitled Famous Beyond Words – Shakespeare all Around Us. A Pentax Q10 digital camera is also on offer for the best image.
Launching during Shakespeare's 450th anniversary year in 2014, the new permanent introductory exhibition opens in March 2014 and will explore the extraordinary story of William Shakespeare, the boy from Stratford-upon-Avon who became a household name all over the world. It reveals how Shakespeare's work has fascinated people of all ages and backgrounds for four centuries, and takes visitors on a journey back through time to discover what sparked Shakespeare's imagination and how he continues to shape our lives today.
It replaces the current Life, Love & Legacy exhibition which will close on December 18 for the installation of the new exhibition. The visitor reception area at the main entrance to Shakespeare's Birthplace, which receives almost half a million visitors each year, will also be completely redesigned and refurbished at the same time.
Nic Fulcher, Interpretation Project Manager at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, said: "The new exhibition is about the influence of Shakespeare. How even after four hundred years his words, plays and characters go on inspiring.
"We want people from around the world to take photos of the road names, cafes, houses, anything which has a connection to the world's most famous playwright, so we can collate a real picture of Shakespeare all around us."
Images for the Famous Beyond Words competition can be uploaded to Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter and tagged via #FamousBeyondWords.
Entries via any other social media platforms will not be considered.
The deadline for entries is January 12 2014. For terms and conditions and to apply visit www.shakespeare.org.uk

Has anyone attempted to hook up a folder with 20 inch wheels/tires to an indoor stationary trainer?
Has anyone attempted to hook up a folder with 20 inch wheels/tires to an indoor stationary trainer?

As far as I know, trainers are made for 700c, possibly 26" wheels.
You could try rollers. Given the cost though, you might as well check into a stationery bicycle exercise machine as well.
I have it worked fine with a 20". I could not use a 16" bike though as it did not adjust low enough. This was on a magnetic rear wheel only trainer like a turbo trainer. I can also use it as a work stand
I've read that trainers can put strange stresses on frames. I wonder if folders would be more suseptible to them. I'll see if I can dig up the reference.
Just to confirm a "Gist" magnetic trainer fitted and worked absolutely fine with my 20" bike, no problems what so ever. None.
Check out the trainer before you buy it for use with a folder, I advise, but it prevents no problems if it fits.
Mine is an older model in a dull black colour, and a lot more rust!
I dont known if they have fixed the design ,but the tighting plastic lever broke off very quickly.Simply fixed though I just lever a old pair off mole grips on instead to act as a lever.
See another trainer to fit small wheeled bike.
Dont know if its just for the "BIgfish" folding bike,which I think is 305 rather than 349 or 20"(406) wheel size.

dpi doesn't make any difference as far viewing your map (either on the web or on your computer) It is a setting for print use. If you want to zoom into your map without pixelation the only solution is to make your map larger. 2k x 2k is not overly large and you could go up more to reduce the pixelation issue. As far as uploading to the Guild, I believe that the max file size is 5 Mb. you can always upload a smaller version of your work here and provide a link to the full size version hosted on a photo sharing site (Photobucket, Flickr, etc). Creating individual regional maps is a great solution as well. You can make them manageable in size and still achieve the level of detail you want. I hope this helps and good luck.
*EDIT* Whoops the max file size is 5 Mb don't know why that didn't show up.

The Premier League has renewed its relationship with its digital ad sales partner Perform for a further three years and will offer video advertising for the first time.The contract covers the Premierleague.com website and mean advertisers will be able to advertise ahead of current and archive video footage from the Barclays Premier League as well as book special formats like homepage takeovers.
Standard formats will also continue to be available on Premierleague.com, which claims to attract 12 million unique users per month and will be available in six different language versions.
Richard Masters, the director of sales and marketing at Premier League, said: "Since Perform assumed responsibility for media sales across the Premier League's official website, the company has demonstrated its ability to attract the most relevant major brands as advertisers and enabled us to meet our objectives.

Health Insurance Exchanges: Legal Issues
Health insurance purchasing exchanges have been proposed as a possible means of making insurance more accessible, increasing competition among health plans, and promoting choice of insurer. Health insurance exchanges are entities that organize the market for health insurance by connecting small businesses and individuals into larger pools that spread the risk for insurance companies.
Key Findings:
- While there are legal issues that warrant consideration under a federal, state or private exchange framework, those issues are not insurmountable barriers to implementation at any level.
- At the federal level, Congress has the power to implement health insurance exchanges but must address several laws and regulations, including:
* Interstate commerce;
* Tax and Spending;
* The McCarran Ferguson Act;
* Anti-commandeering laws;
* Due Process and Equal Protection;
* The Takings Clause; and
* The Administrative Procedures Act.
- At the state level, there are no insurmountable barriers to the creation of health insurance exchanges. State level reforms would have to address the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and state administrative procedures acts.
- At the private domain, health insurance exchanges are not prevented by existing state or federal law. Key laws and regulations include antitrust laws, HIPAA, the Private Health Care Voluntary Purchasing Alliance Model Act, and Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements Regulation.
Health insurance exchanges implicate many design and policy issues regardless of whether they are implemented by the federal government, state governments, or by individuals; but there are no absolute legal bars to their establishment.
This white paper was created by the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University and is part of the Legal Solutions in Health Reform project. The project aims to identify practical, workable solutions to the legal issues that may arise in any upcoming federal health reform debate.

Jonathan Rea: I kept having flash-backs to Magny-Cours in 2012 when I had a 10-second lead and crashed...
Yay Rea!
He's unbelievably good on this circuit, I hardly understand how can a track suit a rider that much. But I'm afraid his speed will not remain the same during the season, and this won't be Honda's big year - again.
To race in the wet shows just how good a rider actually is! Keeping control of the bike in such atrocious conditions is not easy as a lot of them show. Look at how many riders fall back and just can't cope! Jonathan Rea is one of the best riders there, on a crap bike that's 8 years old with nothing like as much software the rest have, so to do this shows just how good he is! Well done, a much deserved win .
I only hope that Honda are bringing out a state of the art production RCV bike very shortly, or Rea will be too old to race by the time he gets a competitive bike....
re: "I only hope that Honda are bringing out a state of the art production RCV bike very shortly"you, and like a 100,000 others over the past 10 years.
re: "I hardly understand how can a track suit a rider that much."not that hard, TenKate's Dutch.
Haslam was on the same bike so why did he not win if it is down to TenKate being Dutch. The difference was the rider-Johnny Rea
"Haslam was on the same bikes so why did he not win if it is down to TenKate being Dutch. The difference was the rider-Johnny Rea"Rea has proved he is leaps and bounds better than riders like Aoyama he just jeeds a year on a gp bike to answer the question of whether or not he can do it.And there is the folly of ifs and buts... We need to see Rea on different machinery period but what will happen to Tan Kate in the meantime unless someone like Van Der Mark can make that bike look as good as Rea does that team wont fair well at all without someone like Rea.Rea and Laverty to Suzuki some Irish charms and smooth talking wouldn't be the only thing necessary but they need better as they have the talent and potential but time wont always be on their side.
Hey guys its early in the season. But i do agree that he can do really great things on other equipment. And he would be a great asset in the GP paddock.I think the cbr is good, i think if the motherland was more involved they would be at the front more often. But hey, its a long season and if rea stays healthy good results will come. He is young and i have faith he will get a GP seat in time.

Augusta, Ga--It was a hero's send off this evening for Grovetown's Scott Winkler who'll soon be departing for the paralympics in Beijing. Emotion running high as Winkler received all the good lucks and bring home the gold, from his Augusta Bulldogs wheelchair basketball teammates. Winkler is the record holder in teh shot put and as the time draws near for him to depart, the nerves are at an all time high.
"Nerves have been kicked in" said Scott Winkler "Everyday it gets closer, it gets worse and worse. It's a lot of pressure, there's a lot of things on my mind. Don't want to let my country down, definitely don't want to let the whole U.S. down and all the soldiers and civilians, it's a lot of pressure"
Winkler is actually going to hang out with Reese Hoffa's parents to watch the former Lakeside product in the olympics friday morning, then speaking at Harlem High School, and is throwing out the first pitch for the Greenjacket game on Friday. Paralympics are right after the summer games also in Beijing.

Recognizing the Blue Christmas
Elvis song hits home for some; service aims to help
Sunday, December 22, 2013
Not everyone is feeling joyful during the Christmas season.
Some people may have lost a loved one since last Christmas. Another may not be welcome at his family's gatherings. Or a family may be dealing with financial shortcomings.
"We want to be a place where they can process those feelings," said the Rev. Michelle Scott-Huffman.
A Blue Christmas Service for the community will be extended at 7 p.m. Monday in Jefferson City at Table of Grace, which meets at 3328 Bennett Lane.
"Society says 'suck it up' and 'drive on,'" Scott-Huffman said. "But in reality, that's not how our hearts work."
By holding a dedicated service, it ritualizes the process and reveals that individuals are not alone in their feelings of being out-of-sorts or disconnected.
"It's a recognition that God is present with us in our suffering," Scott-Huffman said.
Many Psalms and scripture tell of man's lament and pain.
Through specially selected songs and Bible passages, the Blue Christmas service is designed "to let people know it's OK to be exactly where they are at; there's no need to pretend," she said.
The service is primarily contemplative with an element of darkness — an analogy that it's OK to be in darkness for a time, Scott-Huffman said.
Those who attend also see there are others for whom this Christmas season is not perfect, either.
This will be the third year Table of Grace has offered such a service. Often congregations will do something similar on Dec. 21 as a "Longest Night" service, she said.
Although the crowds normally are small, Scott-Huffman said she knows "this has a profound impact on their whole emotional and spiritual well-being for the holiday season."
For those struggling with life situations, others in the holiday spirit can be a stark contrast to their feelings of loneliness or that no one cares about them.
"For me, this is one of the most important times to recognize loss and sadness," Scott-Huffman said.
Even if someone isn't struggling this holiday season, they may become more aware of the varied feelings of those around them.
"The true meaning of Christmas is God is born anew into our lives over and over again," Scott-Huffman said. "This is my calling, to help people recognize God's presence with them.
"If I see even a little relief in others, I know I have done what God has called me to do."

Here comes moneytalks bringing you another fun filled update. This week Havoc is feeling rather tough and is on the streets looking for someone to give a knuckle sandwich. Next Havoc is looking for a cowgirl to ride her pony. Although this pony is a dildo strapped to a saddle on a guys back. She finds a female willing to take the ride and heads back to the studio for some dick riding action. Izy Bella Blu is back with Jmac and our crew at manning a weapons shop. We got cash to spend and there is no shortage of nice titties on this update. Jaydenlee walks in with some friends and is feeling like making some cash. She shows us her sweet lil ass and beautiful pussy for some cash. Jmac wants to lick that pussy but it comes with a price. Jaydenlee is down to get paid so Jmac gets laid. She sucks his dick nicely and he has this lil beauty screaming her little lungs out as she cums all over our shop. See you next year.....

I'm 40 weeks along and want to go into labor now!
I was in the doctors office today and he stripped my membranes and set up an appointment to induce next week but i dont think i can wait that long. I need to know if there is anything i can do short of having sex (I lost my mucous plug) to induce labor naturally.

Walking around helps out a lott, so try taking a walk around your neighborhood.posted 09/18/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
If you have lost your mucous plug, you are probably just about to give birth, so yeah! I am 40 weeks along with my second baby and know that anxious feeling all too well. I remember having that feeling with my first son and then when he was born, being so overwhelmingly tired and sore and thinking, "why was I in such a rush?!" Just try to enjoy your last few days of uninterrupted sleep (even poor pregnancy sleep is better than the sleep you might get with a newborn.) And I think it is quite true, God brings these little babies when they are ready and all the little tricks we may try just don't work. Best of luck!posted 11/16/2007 by happymama406
It doesn't matter if you lose your mucus plug, you can still have sex. Only if your water breaks you shouldn't have sex. And losing your mucus plug doesn't necessarily mean labor is around the corner. It can be hours to weeks before labor starts. And walking and all those "Old Wives Tales" really only work if your baby and body is ready. Otherwise, you are just working against yourself. However, you never know if you're ready unless you try. If you want to bring your baby down, walking and bouncing on a yoga ball help.posted 12/23/2007 by g0at2121
I have not lost my mucous plug yet and I am 40 weeks and one day pregant and tell the truth I am tried of being this way but dont get me wrong i lve being pregnant I am just anxious.I remember having my first son and I was in labor for 72 hours and went to the hospital four times.So now it is just a wait game just let mother nature take it course.posted 11/26/2007 by KYMORA
I'm 40 weeks today and went for a lovely walk. Like slockwork, my contractions started when we got back! It was great. As i've been sleeping poorly for weeks i thought i'd lie down for an hour! Sods law, when i woke up the contractions had gone so i'm back to the waiting game!!!posted 12/01/2007 by Goliv
I was the same way @ 39 weeks + 2 days I was so ready for it yo be over! With no signs of labor..... I decided I was going to have this baby by the end of the day..... All I did was turn on some music and started doing big squats and while I was equated down I would sway side to side taking deep breaths and visualizing my pelvis open up..... This being my fifth baby it wasn't hard to visulize myself going into labor. I did this for about 3-4 min...... About five hours later labor started with no worning.... I was having fullnon contractions two min apart and they were hard and strong ..... I actually went so fast I was only in labor for twenty min total and didn't even make it to the hospital in time .... The husband ended up doing a natural delivery in the car on our way to the hospital. Let's just say it was a memorable birth and I got what I wanted ( for him to come) lolposted 07/10/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I know everything I tried never works. I walk, I took castor oil and sex, nothing works for me. Its all dumb advice the baby wont come til (s)he is readyposted 01/08/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
This is my fifth pregnancy and i am 39 weeks and 6 days i lost my mucus plug on 6/18/2010 and have been bleeding since then had slight contractions i went into the doctor on 7/10/2010 and i was told i was 1cm and still am every pregnancy is different but i do hope you go into labor soon i sure wish i could lol i am so tired but good luck god bless take it easy and dont worry everything will be okayposted 07/14/2010 by newborn gutierrez
Patience is something you will need to raise this baby so try to take a deep breath and enjoy these last few days. I am 40 weeks plus and my doctor is inducing as well. This is my third child and I know that anything I may try to do to induce labor will just make it more miserable for me until it is truly time. My body seems to not want to go into labor for all three pregnancies and so far I have handled the last two inductions very well. Your baby can't stay in there forever! Hope all goes well for you!posted 11/27/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I feel the same way and have actually been in early labor for 4 days. I was at the hospital today and the nurse said something that unfortunately made sense, you can't rush mother nature. I have been dilated for 6 weeks and have pretty much did everything I could to bring labor on, and guess what i am still pregnant. I think short of medical intervention you really do have to wait for mother nature, but then again it never hurts to try. Good Luck!posted 10/09/2007 by suntrap18

Unreal Tournament 3 marks the return of the world's première first-person shooter. It unleashes the full power of Unreal Engine 3, taking graphics, gameplay, and challenge to a whole new level. Players engage in intense battles with other human players online, or against Unreal artificial intelligence that sets the industry standard. With the most powerful futuristic weapons and vehicles available, this is FPS action at its best!
Only thing it's lacking, is the classic single player
Great game!
Love the Unreal Tournament series, always comes out with a new feel and look and new action. UT FOREVER
The weapons in this unreal are the best of the series but the story is really s*** but the instant action/multiplayer is pretty good
I believe that the Unreal Tournament games do lack in plotline. But why is that such a bad thing? Example. People didn't care if Battlefield had a plotline. They only cared about the multiplayer. BF3 is the same way. CoD is actually mixed. Most are paying attention more to the multiplayer. I do not see that Unreal Tournament had to do any with the plot. Sure the plot was "meh". But Unreal the original games prior to Tournament are your plot games. Those are the games or Single Player. I do believe this game is attacked pretty harshly. I think the AI is excellent and probably the best scripted AI I have seen in history. They are not stupid and are quick and work great. The games have a lasting appeal because of the Unreal modding kits given to the public. That is WHY it does very well. Games with modding kits given, grant power to make things out of imaginations and ideas by the community. Games recently like this, which lacked it, were given lower rates because of that. And that makes sense. It brings more replayability to games. I like this game. Its one of the greatest series in history, Let alone, they did not fail in all games. Its one of those rare scenarios where all the games were ideally very good.
I rate this video game a 9 for its customizable nature and amazing 2007 graphics from the Unreal Engine 3, what stops it being a 10/10 is the fact that there is little content added into the game, no unique characters, they all look like they have been taken out of Gears of War, the story is good, but it should not be in a arena shooter like Unreal Tournament, it would have been better to name this Unreal 3 or Unreal Warfare, although 2007, a tool kit being made by L-mod United Kingdom called the ShadowEdge Editor V0.5 aims to bring UT3 up to date with the future, using L-mod's powerful ShadowEdge Physics Engine (a 2012 engine), UT3 will look even better than the UDK.
I didn't like it as much as 2004. It's still not bad though.
Best Unreal Yet.
