You shouldn't have to keep a stiff upper lip when it comes to lip balms. There's no need to settle for goopy petroleum jelly-based common drugstore sticks when there are much better options for a pleasant and soothing pucker. Lucky Tiger's all-natural peppermint Lip Balm protects chapped lips without resorting to harsh chemicals that may do more harm than good. You'll feel even better knowing the minty pop is made from organic ingredients, so you can save your lips and the world all in one go.
I am addicted to chapsticks and lip balms so I am very picky when it comes to which ones will touch my lips. This product is great, the peppermint flavoring is refreshing and tingly to the touch and the balm itself is creamy and soft and does a great job of moisturizing especially during this crazy cold dry winter weather.5

Award-winning sculptor keeping it cool in TexasPublished 11:16am Monday, January 11, 2010
Niles Daily Star
For 10 years Buddy Rasmussen was the coolest guy in south Texas.
Owner of Signature Ice in San Antonio until 2006, Rasmussen created enough ice sculptures – if they hadn't melted – to create an entire glassy, ice kingdom.
In his 20-plus-year ice carving career, he estimates he has carved 15,000 sculptures with more than 3 million pounds of ice.
Rasmussen and 18 other professional ice carvers will bring their talents to Niles at the Hunter Ice Festival Jan. 15-17.
Rasmussen fell in love with ice carving as an apprentice chef in Austin, where he met a couple of chefs who were talented ice sculptors.
"When I clocked out every day, I'd just sit there and watch them," he said.
Eventually Rasmussen got the chance to learn the craft from them and soon built up the skills to begin ice carving full-time.
"I liked working with ice, because it is easy to remove and to carve and for the way it looks like crystal," he said.
He enjoyed great success with his business and on the professional ice carving competitive circuit.
Rasmussen took first place at the National Ice Carving Championships in 1999, first place in the Ice Magic International Team Competition in 2009 and third place in the World Ice Art Championships in Alaska in 2009, among many other accolades. He also participated in the 2002 Winter Olympics ice sculpting cultural arts event.
Adding to his credentials, he was featured in a one-hour Learning Channel special recently.
Rasmussen was on top of the ice carving world, but something really started to bother him.
"It melts," he said. "I've built over 15,000 sculptures and every single one is gone."
So Rasmussen sold Signature Ice in 2006 and began his own wood carving business soon after.
"The main reason is it doesn't melt," he said. "Wood is more difficult and takes like 50 times longer, but it's there forever."
The chilly hobby still has a warm place in his heart, though, as he still does occasional projects and competes in a number of ice-carving competitions.
"I plan on winning worlds this year," he said matter of factly.
And the Hunter Ice Festival is always one of his favorite places to carve – under one condition.
"If it's not 10-below," he said. "Twenty-five degrees would be beautiful."
San Antonio: an ice sculptor's paradise?
Rasmussen says the demand for ice sculptures in San Antonio is higher than one would expect.
"There is a huge demand," he said. "It's a huge convention town. So a lot of our work was tourism and covention based."
All of his sculpting is done indoors but the Texas heat still plays a factor.
"Yeah, we gotta rush through it," he said. "Even when you're carving in room temperature, there's no dilly dallying. It will be nice to go up (to Niles) and be able to take my time."

I was looking forward to a spirited rematch between Gov. Dannel Malloy and his Republican challenger in the last gubernatorial race, Tom Foley.
I even think Foley, who has launched only an exploratory committee for the race, has been on his game so far, raising legitimate ethical questions that have had both Republicans and Democrats in the state squirming.
There is no question that Malloy, if he runs, as expected, is extremely vulnerable, running a state that seems to lag behind the rest of the country on most economic score sheets.
Then along came this week's government shutdown, sponsored by a cadre of crazed Republicans in Washington.
Malloy suddenly looks a lot better to me, and maybe to many sane Connecticut voters.
Foley, according to one newspaper interview he gave earlier this week, has sided with the tea party, saying that he endorses the strategy of House Republicans to shut down the government to extract changes in the Affordable Care Act.
"So I support what they are doing," Foley was quoted as saying.
That was enough to cross him off my list of people who might make a good Connecticut governor.
And I had thought, wrongly, apparently, that maybe Foley was the kind of level-headed Republican who would condemn the ransom-taking tactics of the extremists in the party.
After all, there are enough reasonable Republicans in the House to pass a bill today to reopen the government, if only their speaker, pandering to the far right wing of his party, would bring it to the floor for an honest vote.
I tried to reach Foley Thursday to find out if there was some nuance in his remarks about the shutdown I am missing.
I didn't have any luck.
First of all, the press releases from his exploratory committee don't have any contact information on them. Maybe that alone should disqualify him for office, sending out press releases without contact information.
I also left a message on his home phone in Greenwich. I didn't hear back.
In Googling around to try to find Foley, I did come across a listing indicating his 125-foot motor yacht, named Odalisque, after the female slave in a Turkish harem (I know, I know) is for sale for $5.9 million.
I emailed the broker, who wrote back and said he is in dialogue with the owner, who may take the yacht off the market.
Maybe that is part of Foley's exploratory process: He's thinking about spending more time on the yacht and giving up on another expensive run for governor.
I had hoped, too, that maybe some of the other possible Republican candidates for Connecticut governor might be counted in the reasonable GOP camp, like the Republican House members who would reopen the government without demanding changes to a health care program that is already the law of the land.
Alas, no.
I couldn't reach state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton, who also has an exploratory committee. But she told another newspaper this week, while complaining about the health care act, that we've had shutdowns before and they haven't been that bad.
So she's off my list.
Exploratory candidate Mark Boughton, mayor of Danbury, politely returned my call and explained that he thinks there's blame to go around both parties in Washington. But he said linking negotiations about the health care act to a government shutdown is OK with him.
"It's how sausage is made," he said.
He's off my list, too.
I came away from a long and spirited chat with declared gubernatorial candidate John McKinney of Fairfield, state Senate minority leader, impressed that he is a thoughtful candidate who was also willing to lay blame for the shutdown on both parties.
In the end, though, he seems to side with Boughton on the sausage-making theory. I could not get him to condemn the strategy of linking a government shutdown with demands to change the health care law.
This is classic pre-primary politics: reach to the extremes of your party, then hustle back to the center before the general election.
This time I think it may backfire, since moderate voters might remember for a long time the paychecks missed here in Connecticut and the economic harm done by the people who brought us the shutdown and debt ceiling jitters of 2013.

Do you know what part you need?
Have you ever done a repair like this before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS267600
This front drum slide kit comes with two slides with the apppropriate mounting hardware.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
i removed the scews just above thr opened dryer door, i was then able to swing the dryer top cover back. i then removed the lower front panel screws ,the the screws securing the front of the dryer ( where the door is ) and removed it. there are just 2 wires to disconnect. after the front is removed you gain full access for drum removal, remove the belt make sure the wires are not in the way and remove the drum.i also used a vacuume to clean the inside of the dryer. the front drum slides are very easy to replace only 2 screws each.remove old parts install new parts then just put the dryer back together in the reverse order i took it apart. after re-assembly i turned the dryer on it was so quiet running my wife and dogs were very happy. ps. i just want to thank the people at partselect for having all my parts in stock and for the speed in which i received them. other than having to repair my dryer it was a very pleasant experiance.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Opened up machine per instructions.After examining drum slides and rear drum bearing, determined that all should be replaced due to excessive wear. Drum slides were the chief cause of the squealing, and they were as simple to replace as removing 4 nut drive screws, pulling off the old parts, and replacing with new. The drum bearing had to be coaxed out by tapping with a screwdriver, but the old was just able to be pushed in. All parts came with instructions, so the repair was easy. And no more squealing!
pulled off door, front panel and rear access panel. unscrewed drum. cleaned every thing. removed and replaced front slides, belt idler pulley and rear bearing. Reassembled everything. Dryer is as quiet as a it was when brand new.
Replaced drum bearings, adjusted screw levelers trying to find the source of the noise. It was hard tracking it down. Finally lubricated the drum slides with WD40 and it resolved the problem for a couple days. Decided to try replacing the drum slides. The old ones did not look worn out - still had teflon surfaces - it was not metal on metal like I suspected. But when I got the replacement parts, there were 2 tubes of lubricant with notes that only this specific lubricant needed to be used on these slides. The teflon slides have a fiber material under them, and soaks up the lubricant. Problem appears to be solved. Whether it would be possible to purchase the lubricant only (since the slides looked OK) might be a question, however, the replacement kit cost was reasonable given that it solved the problem.
The drum slides on my dryer had worn down to the point that an opening formed that allowed clothes to enter the gap and get pinched between the spinning drum and the door. This would leave a mark and sometimes a cut on the clothes. To repair: open the door and undo the screws above the door opening that hold the top on the dryer. It's hinged in the back so it swings up from the front once the screws are removed. Undo hex head screws on either side at the top that hold on the front of the dryer. Also loosened the same at the bottom of the front panel (includes the door). Pull the front off of the dryer. This exposes the drum slides on either side in the front of the drum. They're fastened to the frame of the dryer. Undo the hex head screws (2 each) and remove drum slide, then replace. I recommend one slide at a time so the other one helps hold the dryer in place. The kit includes both slides. Pretty easy once I discovered how worn the old slides were! The drum turns much easier and quieter now too!

Please share what "rocked" your soul
"All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are.
And we must pass through solitude and difficulty,
isolation and silence, in order to reach forth
to that enchanted place where we can dance our
clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song--
but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience
in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny"
Pablo Neruda
"Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
So we will walk with our own feet, we will work with our own hands, and we will speak with our own mind"

Does an activated carbon filter ever change pH?
Our tap water seems to be changing pH when it goes through an activated carbon filter. It's pH is 7.4 when I put it in the tank and 8.4 the next morning! There's nothing in the tank but water, gravel, and a filter with activated carbon.
A completely different tank & filter produced the same pH change. Water sitting in a tank without a filter did not change pH, at least not enough to notice in 12 hours.
The water is from a private well that has a lot of minerals in it. It is treated with a water softener before it gets to the tap, though I could use untreated water also.
I want to keep a few guppies in a 10-gallon tank. Can I toss out the carbon filter? If not, how should I handle water (or filter cartridge) changes? I'm worried that the pH is going to yo-yo every time I change some water and will shoot up when I change the carbon.
Chances are, the problem is with the water softener. I believe softeners remove the minerals that are needed to buffer the pH. Activated charcoal stays that way for only a few weeks.
Fast changes in pH or other water parameters stress the fish, so you should avoid them if possible. As an aquarium matures, the pH generally gets a bit lower. In case you were not aware, pH is measured on a logarithmic scale, so a change of only 0.1 is quite significant.
It was worth a try, but no. I refilled the tank with un-softened well water last night. The pH changed overnight exactly the same way.
One of my filters is new and the other is a hand-me-down. I haven't double-checked yet, but I'm pretty sure they both did the same thing.
I could use the filter without the carbon in it (pH 7.4) or I could pre-filter all water before using it (pH 8.4). Which would you recommend?
heres a good idea also mgf youcould age the water so right when u are doing water changes u replace taken water with water that has beneficial bacteria in it and its way closer to ur tank water than any other water besides ur tank water. take a garbage can or a 20 gallon tote container and fill it with water. sitck a heater in there and set it for same temp as ur main tank and put an airator in there also. do this aout 24 hrs b4 your next water change and the water will be ready then, i like to keep some ready 7 days a week u never know when u get a sick fish or need to transfer fish for bad behavior or nething its nice to have aged water justsitting around kindof like extra tanks lol gl hope this helps
Activated carbon will absorb some minerals, and that could change pH. You may also want to test for the presence of ammonia. It's a compound of one nitrogen ion and either three of four hydrogen ions. Ammonia is a reactive compound, and hydrogen ions can lower pH.
Yes, activated carbon can cause a pH excursion that can last for several days or weeks. Since an aquarium has a relatively small volume of water, the pH rise is more pronounced than in large commecial or industrial activated carbon water filter systems. Typical acitvated carbon made from coal has a pH of 8.5-10 (ATSM pH test method). The activated carbon itself can act as an ion exchange type media and that can contribute to pH rise. One can buy acid washed or neutralized activated carbon or you can try to wash and soak the carbon for a few days before you put into the aquarium.
Thank you for that explanation. I didn't know that activated carbon can produce ionized minerals. Quick changes in pH are harmful to aquarium fish.
I have been using an indian herb which turns the water red when boiled. When I use filtered water it goes pale yellow. when I used tap water, which does go red it turned yellow when I added lemon so that says something.
Sorry guys, that was a red herring. I took the filter cartrige out and got the same pH change. Seems to be the airation from the filter-mechanism's waterfall. Put a bubbler in there, without any of the filter stuff, and the effect is the same.
I'm guessing that I might have a lot of disolved carbonate in my well water. A higher concentration of CO2 in the attmosphere is making our oceans more acidic. Seems reasonable that having carbonate bubbling out as CO2 would make the water more basic.
The herb is probably catappa leaf, which is also called Indian almond leaf. The leaf produces tannins that gradually soften the water and lower pH. Leaf litter does the same thing in the Amazon basin where several aquarium fish species originate. Leaves gathered from the wild near industrial or agricultural centers may be contaminated with herbicides, pesticides or other toxins. Commercial products may be safer.
When a dry catappa leaf is placed in an aquarium, it lightly stains the water yellow. Peat moss and driftwood do the same thing, but the stain usually goes away with a few partial water changes. Boiling likely removes most of the tannins quickly and turns the water a darker brown or red. Lemon juice contains acid, and that's probably why it changes the color of the water. Please don't use lemon juice in an aquarium.
sorry, I was just looking for a solution to why the water changed colour depending on which type of water I used with the herb which has a very long name. I came upon your site looking for an answer. I promise not to put lemon juice in the fish tank ever.
If you wish to, you're welcome to join our forum. It's free, and we're not selling anything.
do you have any idea why the ph goes low when it passing thru acid wash activated carbon media. we are using municiple water for the treatment of mineral water plant we are comenly facing problem while the infeed of A/C filter is 8.4 ph and outlet nearly 6.75-7.3 ph, after several time passes the effect in the ph at outlet become same, in this timing we are facing ph proble, that's y only the way to reacidification of the media every weekly, please define why its happening.how can we control?
I happen to know that activated carbon is "activated" with hydrochloride or sulfuric acid in many industrial cases. It's just part of the process to make all the holes in it. Allot of the companies just rd urn the carbon after the acid bath. I am not sure of the neutralizing process used other than that or how affective they are. It is certainly something to keep in mind a d some food for thought. I'm typing on my phone or I would write a more specific post.
The acid bath seems feasible, but the carbon probably gets a good rinse after that. I always thought its final stop was a vacuum oven. Of course that would not clean out the microscopic holes; it would just make the stuff really dry. Anyhow, thanks for the information.
Thank you for your kind answers and response about Activated Carbon Filter.
On 12th March 2013, Tuesday, I was advised by my experienced friend Jack Lee of Singapore, of a very good Arowana Fish Farm.
When he came over to my Aquarium in Shenzhen, he saw that I was putting a bag of Activated Carbon in all of my sump tanks filtration, and advised me to REMOVE ALL OF THEM.
Here were his reasons.
Activated Carbon absorbs nutrients in the water, although he didn't expand on that. This appears to be my homework
Next, he expands, Activated Carbon is only useful when you want to absorb excessive MEDICINE, CHEMICALS, that we tend to put in unnecessarily. Usually, it'll be more than enough to put the Activated Carbon bag into the SUMP TANK, for 1 to 2 days.
While I was in his fish farm back in October, November of 2012, I did noticed that there wasn't any Activated Carbon used in his Filtration Medias.
What I saw was just normal White Wool Filter Media, KOI Mats (BLACK SPONGE - SQUARE), and BIO-RINGS, nothing more...
By the way, he is taking care of more than 3000 over fishes in his fish farm, and I believe in what he says
Besides he has over 20 years of Asian Arowana Experience...
Hope this is useful for all readers out there, and please do use Activated Carbon only when necessary...
I completely agree. I live in an area with a less-than-steller natural water source.. I have had many issues with ph and nitrate levels in my nano's as well as my 225gl. I thought this was due to the weak water treatment by the city (which may still not be the best). After a brilliant friend at oddball pets in Pittsburgh, Pa brainstormed and studied test results by my city (neighboring pittsburgh) as well as my own test results, he asked me to take out the carbon cartridge in my filter. I put in a samll carbon bag (two for my 225gl) for no more than 24 hrs after a large water change (more than 15%). He tried explaining it all to me but 90% of it was over my head. I could not believe the difference. Now im at the point where I only use carbon when there is a spike in any chemicals,medications, etc. My fish and plants have never seemed healthier.
Its nice having an aquarium store nearby that is more concerned about your experience and tanks health than making an extra dollar in the short term. Ill never shop anywhere else.

I am going to remove one activated carbon pillow out of two that are placed in my bio filter.I just lost about 10 beautiful and expensive discus.I don't know what caused it. ph is 7.0 which i reduced using commercially available powder.I am not new to aquarium hobby as i have petted 100's of species in more than a decade. Water is crystal clear.Can it be stress caused by 30 cm silver arowana?or this new driftwood that i placed in the tank which took 10 days to sink(it was not placed in the tank,instead it was placed in a huge bucket with lid closed and fully submerged inside water).I thought it would be good environment for discus.Bottom of tank is white sand.No over-feeding.Instead gave them 3 kind of foods.Frozen bloodworms,jbl sinking type,tetrabits.My tank also have 2-motoro stingrays,1 penny synodontis,1 sailfin pleco,1 clown peckoltia pleco,2 kuhli loach,1 featherfin synodontis.Is it aggression?some disease?(one discus died of hith out of ten,most of others had wounds(previuosly small which grew large rapidly and they lost their lives within 2-3 days of wound-visibility),is it some body mucus depletion or discus plague?or depletion of mucus through stress of living with arowana plus disease?Or combination of everything including less acidic water(high ph)?????I was researching for answers.Can someone help.Here i can see some old-timers.This many challenging factors make fishkeeping an interesting hobby.If i graduate with discus,i can claim my territory in freshwater fishkeeping territory like a flowerhorn,but one thing i will not do is, bully other hobbyists like it.I will appreciate your experience sharing.bye and take care.
An aquarium application does not need acid-washed activated carbon. In the USA, Norit (now Cabot) Lignite granular activated carbon is sometimes sold to the aquarium market and as part of the lignite processing to reduce total ash, the carbon is treated with acid but it is not really acid-washed product. If one buys Chinese aquarium carbon (note - all coal pellets are from China), it should not be acid-washed (if it is acid-washed then hydrochloric acid is typically used and it should have been water rinsed to remoce excess acid) - the acid-washing is not part of activation but rather a process to reduce acid soluble ash including metals.
my experience with discus is that they rarely do well when kept with other fish that are bigger faster or bigger mouthed, they are shy fish and fussy eaters, having small mouths they do not always get a lot of food if other fish get in there first, I would only keep discus with small tetras generally and definitely not loaches
Well water is most likely high in co2. Check it with a co2 test kit. As the co2 gases out from airiation the ph will rise. Normal chemistry
our RO water has a high PH 9-9.5. Can I drop the PH to 7.00 -8.5 PH with acid wash carbon for drinking water??
hi every body
iam as sales engineer
i supllied indodisn carbon to the client before potable machine
to remove chlorine before ozone
still reading for chlorine
i think it was due to raising PH
raising ph is good to keep the chlorine in hypochlorite radical
Adding co2 lowers the ph not raises it, tried & tested my tanks ph was 7.6 without co2, I made a diy co2 rig & as if by magic my ph went down to 6.9. Oxygenated water removes dissolved co2 which raises the ph of the water to its natural state, by adding co2 levels are kept proportionate & the ph is lowered.

Gov. touts bike apparel expansionJuly 09,2013DERBY Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says the expansion of a bicycle apparel company in Derby shows how the state is adding jobs in the Northeast Kingdom, traditionally the states most economically challenged region.
Shumlin made the comments Monday at the groundbreaking in Derby for an $8 million expansion by the company Louis Garneau.
Currently the company employs about 90 people in Newport.
Once the expansion is complete in 2014 the company is expected to add another 10 employees to start and at least 10 more in the future.
Shumlin said Louis Garneau, who is Canadian, was on a cycling team in Stowe years ago and he and his wife started a small cycling clothing manufacturing business in their garage.
They later expanded in Newport and now theyre expanding again.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Foreigners who had been banking on their development investments in Vermont to get...

While we've all grown accustomed to hearing about the economic recovery and the cost of capital being at an all-time low, the reality is that lending remains constrained. Consumers' access to credit is still fragmented and banks are unable to adapt to this rapidly evolving landscape. Satisfaction with traditional forms of financing remains abysmal, with just 3 percent of consumers reporting they would recommend their bank to a friend.
In the last 24 months alone, a slew of new upstarts offering various degrees of sophistication and investor capital have emerged, claiming to address these issues. However, there is still no transformative technology platform – let alone one backed by a world-class sponsor – that can offer a faster, fairer, lower-friction lending experience for entrepreneurs, businesses and consumers.
Until now.
My co-founder Nick and I have spent our careers looking at fragmented industries with complacent technology that fail to meet consumers' needs. Nick has spent more than 30 years creating innovative scalable business platforms in the US and Europe. I led the development of a global prepaid operating system and payment network to address the underbanked, which became American Express Serve and Bluebird by Walmart. Now, we've turned our attention to lending, an industry that currently screams fragmentation and archaic technology.
We've seen our platform revolutionize residential rental financing – originating more than $1B of loan volume in the first year alone with zero delinquencies, while also facilitating the industry's first-ever multi-borrower securitization. We're confident this technology can be used to disintermediate how lending is done across multiple industry verticals, including consumer installment, durable goods and small business lending. Our ultimate goal is to combine our access to institutional funding and our knowledge of the capital markets to empower innovative origination engines across the lending landscape to the benefit of entrepreneurs, businesses and consumers.
Our modular architecture enables partners to leverage all or parts of the platform. By leveraging any part of the entire platform, from our proprietary Origination Engine, to Waterfall Decisioning Capabilities, Servicing and Processing, Balance Sheet Management, and Capital Markets Access, we seek to create the bridge that connects Wall Street to the cutting edge fintech community.
Bottom line: we won't stop until we create a superior customer and transactional experience. Sound ambitious? It is, and that's why it's worth doing.

We have a snifter of snow sticking to sidewalks and streets; expect a couple more inches in the next few days. I am all cozy in my office with a nice cup of coffee, Dave's Killer Bread topped with hummus and even more seeds that I roast. Just a perfect day filled with winter-type activities, like reading, writing, puttering at house chores.
Cold outside today and windy.
How's everyone?
Yes, thanks Melinda for starting the wonderful discussion with your photo on the term murmuration. Learning is fun.
Dallas, the video you suggested for us was titled,
amazing starlings murmuration (full HD) -www.keepturningleft.co.uk
I very much like the music, Pachelbel's Canon in D.
This has been a great adventure into the lives and flights of starlings and all the factors that are involved in their behaviors. Nature, with all its complexities, constantly amazes me. With all the colors, shapes, personalities in the avian world alone could keep one occupied for a lifetime.
Dallas, thanks for the great wealth of information you supplied, and the introduction of the new word, "murmuration". A real keeper. Your paragraph about models of flocking behavior seems it would fit when trying to get a group of people on board for a project:
"Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules:
Tony, the "congress of baboons" fits perfectly. Maybe we can laugh a little more as we try to influence votes of our representatives. Perhaps ribbing them a bit when they make a "bad" call. Like, we can write to them saying, "I realize you are a congress of baboons but .... ". Well, that probably wouldn't get us anywhere, but it might keep us from getting so up-tight about their absurdities.
Melinda, see what you started with your wonderful photo of "murmuration" of starling photo! A delightful adventure. Thanks.
Joan, Dallas and Tony thanks for all the wonderful posts.
Been busy - so I got behind.
Thanks! Very much appreciated.
Joan, love them all. How descriptive and evocative language can be. People can be so literal, and yet find whimsy in unusual ways. I mean, physicists say quarks have color and flavor. The flavors are up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top. Makes me smile to think of some straight laced physicists coming up with these words.
Another that I love, crepsicular rays. Also called 'The Rays of Buddha'. Poetic and whimisical.
Back to animals (and something that might explain what happens in Washington D.C.), is the following;
Dallas, I don't remember seeing this before and am so glad to watch those incredible swarms blend and separate, and swoop and swarm. I wonder what goes on in their brains that makes them possible to fly so closely together and not crash together and drop from the sky? Two flocks fly side by side in swirls and blend and separate again. It is a fantastic thing to watch. Your word "murmuration" is new to me. Here I got the to encyclopedia ... "Murmuration of starlings: a flock—Lydgate,", "
Those are wonderful pictures Tony.
I love that picture Booklover - thanks so much!
Thanks Joan for the link to Papua New Guinea. Enjoyed it.
How's everyone ?
My goodness! What incredible birds and people who share the islands. Of course I had to look up information and found this tidbit:
"Described by early visitors as the Papuan Wonderland, the Southern Highlands were among the last regions to be explored, and they are still home to some of the most fascinating tribal cultures of New Guinea. The area itself is spectacular, with lush vegetation, dramatic high mountain valleys, towering mountains, and the roaring headwaters of several rivers. The largest ethnic group are the Huli, whose Edenic territory in the Lavani Valley was discovered only in 1954. Like many of Papua New guinea's peoples, the Huli are distinguished by their unique forms of personal adornment--in this case, spectacular wigs fashioned of feathers, human hair, flowers, and the fur of the marsupial cuscus."
Just look into the eyes of that handsome fellow, they are soft, not fierce, and I imagine he would have stories to tell. Thanks Tony, I am reposting.
The bird, another example of evolution in isolation. Splendid!

Since we have rvalue references in C++0x it seems to me that it should be possible to implement std::swap as an atomic operation with CAS. Is this the case in the new standard, and if not why?
It is not atomic. Atomic operations are not cheap and 99% of the time you do not need the atomicity. There are (IIRC) some other means to get atomic operations but
Simple answer no, not really.
While you can use CAS to implement atomic operations, in most cases you would have to redesign part of the implementation to do so, and you will, in most cases, have an impact in performance in all usages.
Consider a current implementation of a vector in g++. It keeps three pointers:
Do read at this answer by FredOverflow for a simple explanation on move semantics.
Not every class can have a move assignment operator which can be implemented more efficiently than the regular assignment operator. Case in point
Therefore generally you can't say anything about

Blues recover from loss, whip Islanders 5-1
Friday, February 17, 2012
ST. LOUIS -- Alex Pietrangelo and the St. Louis Blues were eager to get back to work after a loss Tuesday night in Columbus, Ohio.
"It's a great answer after that game in Columbus," Pietrangelo said after picking up three assists in a 5-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night.
The Blues had dropped a 2-1 decision against the Blue Jackets, who have the NHL's worst record. It wasn't the result one of the top teams in the Western Conference expected.
"We were just really disappointed the other night in Columbus," said winger Andy McDonald, who scored his first goal of the season Thursday. "We just didn't have the effort we wanted in Columbus and we talked about before the game that we needed a big night tonight."
McDonald has played only six games after missing 51 with a concussion.
T.J. Oshie also had goal and an assist as he and Pietrangelo tied their career highs for points in a game. Kevin Shattenkirk, Jason Arnott and David Perron also scored.
Brian Elliott made 26 saves, allowing only Frans Nielsen's goal. Elliott has 19 victories this season.
"Our best player tonight was our goalie. Our goalie was terrific," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Our goalie was our best player the last game that we lost.
"We're giving up far too many chances. We're getting beat in areas that we haven't gotten beat at in all year and we're going to have to address it and get going, get a little bit better."
The Blues have points in a team-record 20 straight home games (17-0-3) and have 25 home wins, one more that the Detroit Red Wings for most in the league (25-3-4). They're 27-0-0 when scoring three goals or more.
Nielsen gave the Islanders a 1-0 lead 59 seconds into the game. The Blues came back in the period to grab a 2-1 lead on goals by Arnott and Shattenkirk.

Oprah Wants Your Money (and Self Worth) For a Dying Weight Watchers
Much as been written about Oprah Winfrey buying Weight Watchers' stock for $40 million dollars and, in just a few days, tripling that investment, when stocks rose.
On the surface, like most media blitzes, the numbers look impressive.
And comics and cartoonists had fun with the idea that Oprah would make MORE money to add to her billions:
But beyond the media blitz and the jokes, there is something much more insidious and disappointing about this shoddy deal.
Holidays are tough for many people but, if you are actively trying to lose weight, the extra stress can be a diet killer. What do successful weight loss survivors do? Here are some helpful weight loss tips from experts and coaches who've actually been successful losing weight themselves.
I specifically spoke with experts who understand the concept of sustained weight loss too. This is a big distinction, as permanent weight loss, defined by the medical community as weight loss sticking around over five years, is illusive to many.
Research shows permanent weight loss is more likely to result from lifestyle and attitude change. Diets just don't do the trick for long-term change.
As he sat across from me in my office, I could see the energy swirling around his head. (I am also an energy healer.)
My client was in a virtual tornado of thought patterns wreaking havoc on his life. As it pressed upon him, the mental rollercoaster of overthinking, worry and anxiety was obvious.
Today, we live lives that are non-stop continuous pressure and stress for many people, and most of my clients. They are overworked, overscheduled, overbusy, overtired. The result is not just diminished enjoyment of life, but diminished intelligence, cognitive ability and resilience.
Why do we live this way?
To be blunt, we're looking for validation, security and a feeling of adequacy. And, sadly, running around to please others (whether that's the boss, the spouse, the parents, the family, the friends who work just as hard) will NEVER give us those things.
In today's world, women are stressed, exhausted and waaaaayyyyy too busy. Is it any surprise excess weight is the result?
When stress hormones run rampant within the body, the addrenal glands are overworked, affecting every gland and organ in the body… and the body is not able to efficiently deal with the toxicity created… fatigue and fat are natural results.
It's time for a different perspective, especially if you want permanent weight loss.
Is this how you gather strength…
so you can take care of everyone else?
In the last forty years, women have made tremendous advances in the world, busting down boundaries, raising the glass ceiling, taking more responsibility and wielding more power – and don't misunderstand me – those are all tremendous accomplishments.
But, there's a problem.
Part of my real-world research as I lost over 90 lbs involved following naturally thin people around. Asking questions. Posing challenges. Discerning habits. My merciless stalking, if you will, produced a wealth of information I had never learned in my food addicted upbringing.
Naturally thin people are not thin because they are smarter, stronger or have more willpower than other people. They are thin because they have developed habits that serve THIN, instead of making FAT. Here are the top six:
1. Never Eat Unless Hungry – Naturally thin people know hunger cues, and see them as signals for action. Without the green light, they don't eat.
2. Stop Before Full – Naturally thin people never feel stuffed or uncomfortable. They feel a satiation cue which stops them right before they are completely full. Their connection to their bodies is strong, and they honor the feedback they get from their physical body.
3. Waste Food, Not Waist It – People who never struggle with their weight don't worry about throwing food out when they are full, whether that means a to-go box, or the trash can. They know that refusing to "waste food" means "waisting" it, which is just like carrying your garbage around on your body for everyone to see.
Today, our culture is big on doing.
It's also big on measuring, judging, denying and overindulging.
Research shows the incredible rate of weight regain after a diet resulting in a 30-lb. loss to be 97-99%.
Doctors are so desperate to make change, the American Medical Association has reclassified obesity as a disease, so they can justify highly invasive and expensive weight loss surgery which, by the way, causes complete regain in between 66-78% of patients, depending on the statistics you read.
Despite extremes taken to lose weight:
1. Via exercise: injury ends roughly 65% of weight loss efforts made with exercise, usually because exercisers are going beyond their fitness levels to excessive amounts of exercise.
2. Via fad dieting: look at cleanses – can you think of a more ridiculous idea ever suggested to a food addict, that they simply and suddenly STOP eating?
the fact remains YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO LOSE WEIGHT.
That's because losing weight is not a DOING thing. Witness the things we DO:
- We adopt our employers' idea of how much we should overwork and overstress.
- We overfill our schedules when every sane person knows they should only book 60% of the calendar because STUFF HAPPENS.
- We think we are more valuable or important when drama reigns in our lives, driving excessive eating, drinking and drugging.
- We take prescription drugs instead of addressing WHY we are anxious, depressed or overweight.
So, losing weight isn't about food, or calories, or the gym.
It's about WHO you are BEING in your life.
Whether you're being what (you think) society expects you to be, or being the important big wig at work, or even being the subdued wallflower who never voices her needs because she doesn't want to bother anyone, or using all your precious energy taking care of everyone else… it's the state of BEING that needs addressing.
- Living truthfully about your needs means you don't choke them down with a donut.
- Expressing emotions clearly and truthfully means you don't medicate them with a box of cookies.
- Refusing to hide or pretend is a positive fat melter.
It's time to stop DOING and start BEING thin.
Weight Loss via Healing Addiction, A Different Route to Personal Power
What a year!
I will never forget 2013!
It was a year of huge transition, growth and learning for me. Some years sweep by in a blurr, a flurry of activity, like when you are pregnant and anticipation is carrying you forward to an inevitable conclusion.
Some years crawl along like the slow, tortuous screeching sound on a blackboard, like the third year of weight loss when you've lost 55 pounds and know there's more to go… but it's just not happening. Those are the years when a huge opportunity arises: the opportunity to face yourself and refuse to do what you've always done before… which is give up.
But this year didn't crawl or whirl.
I cringe when I see her tiny hard body. I'm filled with disgust for her negative influence. She may be unaware, but she has many robotic ambassadors roaming the world in influential places – movies, media, fashion, music.
And she's at it again. She's a perpetual iconic figure who continues to regenerate, and live in our brains, and make us very fat.
I'm talking about Barbie.
The doll.

Within a few days, we should get the reading on short interest for February 15th. If it is still high, the shorts are trapped. Now they know that three quarters of the entire float is held by funds and insiders, where will the covering stock come from? Moreover, the short interest is 56.7% of the float.This looks to be a strong squeeze candidate.
Right now nobody is expecting any imminent news, so anything positive and this could explode and have one of those 50% days again.The downside is really limited here. I can't think of too many negative catalysts other than criminal charges for the CEO/CFO, but the DOJ has never even confirmed that there really is an investigation going on.
Easy. Days like today. Unless there is good news out of Diamond, there may not necessarily be a huge spike up. Just a slow move north as the shorts cover and others accumulate.

Upon learning that her college sweetheart husband has been seeing another woman, Mira Serafino's once perfect world is shattered and she wants no one, least of all her big Italian family, to know. She takes off—with no destination and little money—heading north until her car breaks down in Seattle. There she takes a job at the offbeat Coffee Shop at the Center of the Universe, where she'll experience a terrifying but invigorating freedom, and meet someone she'll come to love: the new Mira.
Editorial Reviews
An award-winning high school science teacher who juggles marriage, motherhood and massive traditional Italian meals, Mira Serafino is called Miss Control Freak by her best friend Lannie, an eccentric musician who owns a yarn and guitar shop in their close-knit community of Pacifica, Ore. Shortridge (Eating Heaven) flashes back to Mira's difficult childhood (where she adopted the role of "Saint Mira, absorber of all family pain") as her marriage hits a major snag, sending Mira into a process of self-examination. Mira's Type A-ness comes through clearly, and secondaries-including a difficult daughter, incommunicado brother and a father who is "about as sensitive as a Mack truck"-deepen her dilemmas.

Mira Serafino has the same problems you and I and every woman from 45-60 has. You know the ones I mean--when your own biology sabotages your body, resisting quiescence no matter the remedy. Matters of love conspire against a stable life too -- the universal rules that worked before don't after 45. Mira, like all of us, tries to find the center of herself, the center of her universe again. If you've not reached this age, you're in for some surprises. If you have, Mira will seem like your favorite sister. Plus, you'll get a glimpse into the Pacific Northwest life and why we love it. 'Love and Biology' is a great way to spend a rainy afternoon or a gentle, breezy evening this summer.
Awesome book . This is the fourth novel of hers I have read....excellent story...read it in hours..couldn't put it down
Chick lit consists of several categories. This one fits for chicks over 40--i.e. it's still girl-like emotional and men stuff but stuff chicks of my age (mid-40s) can actually relate to. All in all, it was a fairly decent book. At times I just wanted to take the protagonist by the shoulders and say, "Snap out of it!" but it came clear that the author intended Mira to be a flawed individual--nice but flawed and somewhat irritating. I did like that the author allowed most of her characters to have some growth in the story. So often we only see the protagonist change. I was taken with the ability to shirk my responsibilites aside, just run away, and then work at a Bohemian Coffee Bar in Seattle. I can't tell you how many times I just want to throw my hands up to responsibility and just have a different life. That part of the book appealed to me greatly. Great book for a rainy or snowy day where you can sit and escape.
Jennie Shortridge has written a book for every woman. There is something for everyone in this story about a woman longing to learn who she really is. Mira heads out of her hometown after finding out her husband was about to be unfaithful. As she starts a new and different life, she realizes that she is not who she wants to be. The characters in this book are diverse, funny, and oh so interesting. You will laugh, commiserate, and cry throughout this story. Don't miss it!

How to wrap an ankle
<< Previous | Next >> Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Next, apply a couple of circular strips of the 11⁄2-inch athletic tape, overlapping by half, at that point above the ankle joint — let's call it the anchor point — to hold the underwrap in place. When applying the tape, Leigh recommends keeping it close to the roll. If you have a long strip, you'll lay it on too loosely. (And if the person has a hairy ankle, shave it to avoid skin irritation.) Go to the next item.

The most common form of lighting in any home are ceiling lights. Providing the main light source, ceiling lights are often centrally placed and offer a bright light so that the whole room is lit up. They can form part of a wider lighting scheme or be used when plenty of light is needed in the room, and when combined with a dimmer switch can even offer mood lighting. There will be a ceiling light in most rooms in the house. Kitchen and bathroom ceiling lights are very useful as they can light up rooms where safety is a consideration.
There are many different styles of ceiling lights available at Homebase. Pendant lights are currently very popular in kitchens as they can focus light on a certain place and also offer a visual focus and style centrepiece. As well as ceiling lights, uplighters are also a great way of lighting a large living space. Uplighters are slightly less harsh and offer a softer lighting method, casting light upwards and around the room rather than down.
Flush ceiling lights don't hang down at all, but rather light from ceiling level. This is a modern and contemporary approach to lighting and one that allows lots of smaller light sources to be located in the ceiling. Of course, as well as ceiling lights, you can also get a selection of floor lamps and desk lamps too. Meanwhile, if you're looking for something a little more glamorous, chandeliers are ideal and you'll find them all right here at Homebase.

"Online shopping is here to stay and will continue to get better and evolve in terms of another attractive and convenient way for consumers to consume. As I see it, the effect is to effectively 'raise the bar' for retail landlords to provide a brick-and-mortar product that is complementary to online alternatives. A shopping center that is well-maintained and safe with convenient parking in a good location isn't nearly enough to ensure success any more. The mix of retailers in that center -- We call that the process of 'merchandising the center' -- is more important than ever and needs to be far more 'experiential' to consumers than in the past. Unique and well-run food uses are playing a bigger and bigger part in the mix as are tenants serving changing consumer habits in a faster-paced and highly technology-driven world. Further, more flexible shopping center configurations, such as fewer deep spaces that can only house one type and size retailer, allow for today's, and tomorrow's, more efficient retailer. This is extremely important to ensuring a center's long term success."
The Best Retail Landlords Realize Importance of Bricks and Clicks
(FRT - Get Report), the oldest REIT in the nation (and celebrating its 50th anniversary) this year, has witnessed five decades of retailing and the success of the "best in class" REIT has been its ability to provide innovative opportunities for its tenants. As Don Wood, Federal Realty's president and CEO explains:Some of my mall REIT picks include Taubman Centers (TCO - Get Report), Simon Property Group (SPG - Get Report), and Tanger Factory Outlet. My large-cap shopping center REIT picks include Kimco Realty, Weingarten Retail Investors (WRI), Regency Centers (REG) and Federal Realty. Some of the small-cap retail REITs, including Excel Trust (EXL), Retail Opportunity Investment Corp. (ROIC) and Whitestone REIT (WSR), all provide a higher risk-adjusted dividend yield.Federal Realty

CLAYTON -- On Tuesday, the Cloverdale girls' golf team place third in a three-way match with Plainfield and Monrovia. Plainfield won the event with a 179 total, while Monrovia was second with 209 and Cloverdale third with 235.
'We played better today, but continued to have direction problems as many shots found trees," CHS head coach Ken Williams said.
Junior Kayla Langdon led the way for the Clovers with a 49, while Elizabeth Wiley was second with a 57.
The struggles from Monday seemed to follow the Clovers into their round Tuesday. Cloverdale had a tough time off the tee and in the fairway, but made up some ground on and around the greens.
"As usual, Kayla made up for fairway problems by chipping and putting well," Williams said. "Elizabeth had some tee problems, but chipping in on No. 8 to par both par threes."
Williams noted that Victoria Boyette and Erica Looper both had rounds under their season average. For the first year golfers, Boyette fired a 61 and Looper finished the day with a 68. Williams also acknowledged Boyette's par on the par 4 No. 2
Monrovia provided the medalist winner, Julia Porter with a 39, but it was Plainfield who dominated the day. Plainfield had all five golfers finish with rounds in the 40s.
Cloverdale will travel to West Vigo at 4:30 p.m. today.
At Deer Creek G.C.
Plainfield 179, Monrovia 209, Cloverdale 235
Medalist -- Porter (M) 39
Plainfield -- Fulford 44, Arnold 44, Miller 45, W. Williams 46, S. Williams 48
Monrovia -- Porter 39, Kneipper 51, Bridgewater 58, Whitt 61, Perry 64
Cloverdale -- Langdon 49, Wiley 57, Boyette 61, Looper 68
Next match -- Cloverdale will travel to West Vigo at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
