|Gear Tech 21 is successful youth technology camp
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Wednesday, 14 August 2013 10:34
"I want to be an engineer." "I could get better grades." "It will help me in a career." "I want to be a computer expert, and this camp helped me." "It helped me understand technology and programming."
These are just a few things that students of the Gear Tech 21 robotics and GPS camp had to say about their experience. This was one camp in a series of camps offered in northeast Colorado, sponsored by Colorado State University Extension, from July 8-11 at the Phillips County Event Center. There were seven youth participants ages 10-14 from the Haxtun and Holyoke area.
Caleb Deaver, at left, and Remington Hielscher, at right, get ready to build their robot with the help of Christy Fitzpatrick.
The youth gained skills and experience in using GPS and GIS technology and had tons of fun designing, building and programming Lego NXT robots. They learned and practiced some engineering design principles along with expanding their vocabulary of science terminology and processes.

A skin graft surgery is the removal and transplantation of healthy skin from one area of the body to another area. It is done to replace the skin in an area where the skin has been severely damaged. The source sites most commonly used for skin grafts are the inner thigh, buttocks, below the collarbone, in front of and behind the ear, and the upper arm.
The use of your own skin as the source area is called an autograft. If there is not enough skin on the body to provide graft coverage, skin may be harvested from outside sources. These alternate sources are only meant for temporary use until your own skin grows back. Three common options are:
A successful skin graft will result in transplanted skin adhering and growing into the recipient area. Cosmetic results may vary, based on factors such as the type of skin graft used and the recipient site.
If you are planning to have a skin graft, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
The wound will be cleaned with an antiseptic.
Depending on the surgery, you may receive:
The wound will be measured. A pattern of the wound will be traced and outlined over the donor site. The donor tissue will be removed with a scalpel or special harvesting machine.
There are three main types of skin graft techniques:
The graft will be placed on the damaged site. It will be fastened with stitches or staples.
A pressure bandage will be applied over the area. A wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) may be placed for the first 3-5 days. This device has suction and is used to control drainage. Initially, the graft will survive on oxygen and nutrients from the underlying tissue. Within 36 hours, new blood vessels begin to grow. New cells will grow from the graft to cover the damaged area with new skin.
This varies, depending on the size of the graft and extent and severity of the injury.
Harvesting skin grafts can be painful. Anesthesia should prevent most pain during the procedure. Talk to your doctor about medication to help manage pain after the procedure.
This varies depending on the reason for the graft, the size of the graft, as well as other care that is needed. For example, recovery from a burn or accident may take longer.
Be sure to follow your doctor's
, which may include:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley voted for a $1.2 billion tax increase in 2003 when the state was facing a big budget shortfall. Now he calls it "the worst thing we ever tried to do."
He says the dire predictions that supporters of Amendment One made in 2003 didn't come true after voters rejected the tax increase. He said the economy picked up and state revenues grew to record levels.
He said that made Alabama citizens skeptical when they hear state officials talking about now having enough money, like they are now.
Bentley said the current cutbacks for the state General Fund budget will be good for the state in the long run because they will force state officials to examine which state services are essential and which are not.

News Release: Associated Press
August 27, 2014
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- George Sheldon is the winner of the Democratic primary for attorney general.
Sheldon is a former deputy attorney general who once worked in the Obama administration. With 43 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday, he led state Rep. Perry Thurston by a margin of 62 to 38 percent.
Sheldon will face Republican incumbent Pam Bondi and Libertarian candidate Bill Wohlsifer in November.
The Democratic primary was a low-profile campaign where the two rivals largely refrained from criticizing each other directly. Instead, they were united in their unfailing criticism of Bondi and the job she has done since taking office in 2011.
They sharply criticized her for opposing a medical marijuana amendment on the November ballot, as well as her fight to retain the state's ban on same sex marriage.

so cute! Was it hard for her not to burn her fingers with the glue gun and the little eyeballs? just curious..my girls are pretty good with it usually.

That's a great question Jen and I almost put that in the post. E has had a lot of practice with the glue gun, she sets it up by herself now and can use it without my assistance. I asked her if she burned her fingers and she said "A little bit mom, but no big deal and that happens everytime you use a glue gun" Like mother, like daughter! With younger children you could use craft glue like Aleene's tacky glue or Elmer's.

Russell Johnson, the actor best known for playing the Professor on TV's hit sitcom "Gilligan's Island," died Thursday at 89.
Johnson played Professor Roy Hinkley in the CBS series for three years.
If Johnson had his way, you wouldn't be remembering him as the Professor on "Gilligan's Island."
Johnson told AP Radio in 1993, he wished he had never done the role.
PHOTOS: 2014 Notable Deaths
He said his career "took an absolute right turn" and never got back on track. But he figured what was done was done. He said he made the decision and he lived "with the results of it."
Johnson died at home of natural causes.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Ball facilitator may not have been a term
used to describe Kobe Bryant in the past, but if his last three games are any
indication, the future Hall of Famer is willing to take on that role for the
team's success.
For the third straight game, Byrant finished with double-digit assists, and
for the third game in a row the Lakers have ended up in the win column,
including a 111-106 triumph on Tuesday.
Bryant, who had registered 14 assists in each of his last two games, finished
with 11 helpers and also scored 14 points and pulled down eight rebounds.
Dwight Howard scored 24 points and Earl Clark added 20 points and 12 boards
for the Lakers, who have strung together three straight wins for the third
time this season.
Antawn Jameson and Steve Nash finished with 16 and 12 points, respectively, in
the victory.
Eric Gordon poured in 25 points and Greivis Vasquez scored 15 points and
dished out 15 assists for the Hornets, who have dropped three of their last
four games overall.

You might also like the Fashion balls with swirling indents that make them easier to grasp. Or look for the ones with alphabet letters, geometric shapes, or numerals molded into their surfaces. These come in many primary bold colors and they are rubbery with soft flocking. Babies will like them for roly poly social games; toddlers will like chasing them and they are soft enough so that preschoolers will like bouncing and trying to catch them.

A.There are two types of AC adaptors for use with Boss compact effect units:
The ACA-series and the PSA-series.
|If using a single compact effect unit:
|Use the AC adaptor model specified by the label affixed beside the adaptor jack or on the bottom of the unit. (The ACA-series or PSA-series)
|If using the "8-pin parallel power supply cable" (model number: PCS-20A, sold separately) with the NS-2 / LS-2 / TU-2 etc. to supply power to multiple compact effect units:
|Use the PSA-series adaptor. In this case, any ACA-type compact effect units included in the connection will operate normally.

|If the two compact effect units you're connecting are a PSA + ACA or a PSA + PSA, you can use a single PSA adaptor with two compact effect units at the same time.
(Note: You can't connect a combination of ACA + ACA with this cable.)


text: The man who swims with coelacanths Science 27 May 11 by Brandon Keim Wired.com More than seven decades later, the words have the same urgency as when they rolled off Marjorie Courtinay-Latimer's telegraph machine and into history:MOST IMPORTANT PRESERVE SKELETON AND GILLS = FISH DESCRIBED.Courtinay-Latimer was the young curator of a natural history museum on South Africa's east coast. The message came from J.L.B. Smith, an icthyologist to whom she'd turned when, shortly before Christmas in 1938, local fishermen brought her a fish unlike any they'd ever seen.Caught at a depth of 240 feet, it was five feet long, covered in bony scales and had fins reminiscent of legs. Courtinay-Latimer immediately sent a sketch to Smith, who thought it looked like a coelacanth. There was just one catch: Coelacanths were extinct, and had been for 70 million years.Smith's famous cable came too late, as Courtinay-Latimer didn't have an aquarium large enough to preserve the fish.But even as they despaired, it was just weeks before another arrived. Far from being extinct, coelacanths were actually caught with some regularity by native fishermen of the Comoros Islands, on whose rocky undersea slopes they'd lived since swimming with dinosaurs.The coelacanths of the Comoros Islands, along with another population discovered in Indonesia, are now celebrities of the animal kingdom, and nobody has spent more time with them than Hans Fricke.In 1986, the German explorer and then-freelance photographer convinced a magazine editor to send him and a submarine to the Comoros. Since then he's led more than 400 dives, helping to produce much of what is now known about coelacanths.After the publication of his latest work, published in Marine Biology and entitled "The population biology of the living coelacanth studied over 21 years," Wired talked to Fricke about his time with the mysterious, magnificent creatures.Wired: How did your interest in coelacanths begin?Hans Fricke: When I was young, I read the book by J.L.B. Smith, Old Four Legs. I was a keen skin diver, because I was 11, and I said, 'Good friend, this fish you will see once in your life.' In 1975, I joined an expedition of the Royal Society to Aldabra Atoll, and then I went to the Comoros, where I did some very stupid, very daring scuba dives to down over 300 feet. But I found nothing. I said to my wife, "Next time I come here, I'm coming with a submarine." I said it as a bit of a joke, but the next time I came to the Comoros, in 1986, I came with a submarine.Wired: Can you describe that first submersible?Fricke: It was made by two Czechoslovakian engineers in Switzerland. We made the first trials in Lake Constance, then I smuggled the submersible over the Swiss-German border, because I would have had to pay customs. It was covered in a sheet and looked like an American Sherman tank. The border policeman asked me, "Friend, what is below this sheet?" I said, "A submarine." He said, "No." I said, "Yes it is. I was in the lake diving," and told him some fish stories. He found it really interesting, and forgot to ask the crucial question: if I'd paid customs.Wired: When did you first find a coelacanth?Fricke: We tried hard to find the fish, but we didn't look carefully enough, we didn't know about its behavior. The fish are nocturnal, and hide during the day. I had to fly back home to Munich, and two of my friends continued for five more days. They found it. Of course my friends immediately called my family. I had a stopover in Paris, called my family, and my little son said, "How is the fish?" And I said, "Which fish?" He said, "The coelacanth!" This was a great moment. I had tears in my eyes. I went back a couple weeks later, and on the first dive we found them. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

An area on your back above the spinal cord will be cleaned. A local anesthetic will be injected into the skin to numb the area. This is to decrease pain from the larger needle that will be put in your back. If you are getting spinal anesthesia, the doctor will give you one injection. The medication will be sent directly into the sac of fluid that surrounds the spinal cord.
If you are getting epidural anesthesia, it may be delivered the same way. But, if you need more than one dose, you will have a tiny, flexible tube in place just outside of the fluid sac. This allows the doctor to give you more medication if you need it. After the surgery, a bandage will be placed over the injection spot.
You will stay in bed until your legs are no longer numb.
Giving spinal or epidural anesthesia usually takes about 15 minutes.
You will feel some pain when the needle is inserted.
Your hospital stay depends on the type of surgery being done.
If you received epidural anesthesia, the tube may be left in place to give you more medication. When you no longer need pain control, the tube will be removed.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:

The mission of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) is to develop, promote and protect the Olympic Movement in their respective countries.
The NOCs promote the fundamental principles of Olympism at a national level within the framework of sports. NOCs are committed to the development of athletes and support the development of sport for all programmes and high performance sport in their countries. They also participate in the training of sports administrators by organising educational programmes.
Another objective of the National Olympic Committees is to ensure that athletes from their respective nations attend the Olympic Games. Only an NOC is able to select and send teams and competitors for participation in the Olympic Games.
National Olympic Committees also supervise the preliminary selection of potential bid cities. Before a candidate city can compete against those in other countries, it first must win the selection process by the NOC in its own country. The National Olympic Committee can then name that city to the IOC as a candidate to host the Olympic Games.
There are currently 206 National Olympic Committees over five continents.
List of all National Olympic Committees in IOC protocol order
The NOCs come together at least once every two years in the form of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) to exchange information and experiences in order to consolidate their role within the Olympic Movement.
In this way ANOC helps the NOCs to prepare for their meetings with the IOC Executive Board and Olympic Congresses.
ANOC also makes recommendations to the IOC regarding the use of funds deriving from the television rights intended for the NOCs. These recommendations focus on the implementation of the Olympic Solidarity programmes in particular.
ANOC is currently made up of the 206 NOCs and is split among five continental associations:

text: By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican Sid Harchelroad planned for contingencies while his new shop was being built for Harchelroad Motors. But Harchelroad said he never had any contingencies for what happened early Saturday morning. Harchelroad was awakened early Saturday by a phone call. After learning his building was on fire, he looked out the window from his house south of Enders Lake. He could see the glow from there. Much of Saturday and Sunday were spent trying to pick up the pieces, so to speak, after a fire destroyed not only the shop but the whole building. Despite that, Harchelroad Motors opened for business Monday morning. It certainly wasn't business as usual but they opened nonetheless. Lots of things remain in up in the air, Harchelroad said Monday afternoon. But he did say they will rebuild the facility he owned that covered a quarter of a block on south Broadway. New Center of Operations Two years ago, Harchelroad constructed a large building as in inside showroom immediately across the street west of their main facility. Harchelroad had already moved the shop facility to the west building while the new shop was being built. Demolition of the old shop began Friday afternoon. That building to the west will now also serve as the center for operations. Harchelroad said the community has shown great support. People brought in tables to work on. Businesses have offered office space, office equipment and office furniture. The school offered some old computers. First thing Monday morning, Great Plains Communications installed a new phone system and Internet connectivity. Harchelroad added they already have an offer for a building to use for their body shop during the interim. "The community has just been awesome," he said. Irreplaceable Items Fortunately, the business' computer system is linked in with the Wauneta store so those records are intact and accessible. But still, the fire destroyed many paper records, business history, and such things as business contact lists, that were irreplaceable, Harchelroad said, not to mention memorabilia and keepsakes. Especially meaningful to Harchelroad among the things lost was the plaque and picture of his late dad, Gene, and family when Gene was recognized by General Motors for 50 years as a GM dealer. Salesman Brad Spady lost his collection of more than 60 footballs, football helmets, golf clubs and other memorabilia that was on display in his office. Body man Doug Reinke lost hundreds of pictures and photo albums of cars that he had worked on or restored over the years. Even many items in fireproof safes and cabinets didn't escape the fire's intense heat. Those are the types of things that are just irreplaceable, Harchelroad said. Even a small thing likes keys to vehicles becomes a big issue. Nearly all of the keys were stored in the main showroom that burned. Spady said they found them after the fire but they were amongst a big glob of plastic from the fobs attached to the them. They were successful in melting the plastic away from the keys so they could use them to make duplicates from blanks and start gaining access to vehicles. Despite the loss, Harchelroad put some perspective on the event, noting it could have been worse, especially if nearby homes or businesses would also have been lost or someone would have been hurt or killed. At any rate, he admitted Monday he was still feeling a little numb after all that had gone on for the past three days.

We have some users who run a program that "works great with Gmail" but doesn't seem to do what they want with Zimbra. All it does is compose an email and uses SMTPS to send it out. When working through Gmail, the outbound message gets saved in the user's "Sent Mail" folder, but when we point it to our Zimbra server the mail flows just fine, but there is no copy left in the "Sent" folder. And these users want a history of what's been sent.
As I understand it, the Sent folder is usually managed by IMAP in a typical mail client and that SMTPS handles the actual message sending. I don't have any client side tools work with because it's all embedded into the app and the only settings we have are SMTPS username, server and password.
The only thing I could think of is to create a postfix rule that works only on a single address to automatically CC a message, but I have no experience doing that sort of thing. Might there be some other way to make this work?

WASHINGTON – It's that time of year – time for the Virginia Railway Express's Santa Train.
This is the stuff that memories are made of, riding VRE's Santa Train. The magical holiday train ride for kids, with the big guy in the red suit, is always a red hot seller. And you might want to lock up you tickets fast since these tickets are always in high demand and sell out quickly.
The date to remember is 9 a.m., Monday, Nov. 26. That's when tickets go on sale. The train ride is set for Saturday, Dec. 8.
The Santa Trains will depart from four locations: Woodbridge, Manassas, Burke Centre and Leeland Road in Stafford will replace the usual Fredericksburg train.
Operators switched the location because of the anticipated crowds for 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Fredericksburg.
If you get to ride the Santa Train, you'll want to consider bringing a toy for the Toy for Tots' Campaign.
Tickets can be purchased online at vre.org.
And a warning about purchasing tickets online: If you buy more than 6 tickets for trains with designated ticket limits, the entire order will be refunded and the tickets re-sold.

Hyenas of Harar #2
Hyenas of Harar #2, originally uploaded by sweetmarias. My full photoset of Harar Pictures is available on our site!The pack in Harar has been fed for 50 years by the Hyena Man (2generations of Hyena Men, to be correct). They also come into town through "Hyena Hole", a gap in the wall surrounding the Jogol, the old town. While they are dangerous and wild, they are pack animals, and highly adaptable. So the feeding of them seems partcularily tame. But there are hyena attacks on children, as you will see when I photographed a 10 year old victim who survived (my full pictorial coming soon.) They will take young children and simply disappear to the mountains. This happened 2 weeks before in the region of Hararghe where I went to meet the small farmers.

By Dhanya Skariachan and Jim Finkle
NEW YORK/BOSTON (Reuters) – The data breach at Target Corp over the holiday shopping season was far bigger than initially thought, the U.S. retailer said on Friday, as state attorneys general announced a nationwide investigation into the cyber-attack.
The personal information of at least 70 million customers was stolen by cyber-criminals, including names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, Target said. Previously, it said data was stolen from some 40 million credit and debit cards between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15.
Spokeswoman Molly Snyder said it was likely the two groups overlap, but said the extent of overlap was not clear yet.
"I know that it is frustrating for our guests to learn that this information was taken and we are truly sorry they are having to endure this," Target Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel said in a statement on Friday.
The No. 3 U.S. retailer lowered its fourth-quarter profit forecast, in part due to weaker-than-expected sales since reports of the cyber-attack emerged in mid-December. Shares of Target fell 1 percent to $62.72, hovering near a year-low.
Security experts said they feared Target has not yet fully grasped the scope of the data breach, which is considered the second biggest payment card attack in retail history.
"I think they still have no idea how big this is," said David Kennedy, a former U.S. Marine Corps cyber-intelligence analyst who runs his own consulting firm, TrustedSec LLC.
Attorneys general from New York and Massachusetts announced on Friday that they were joining a nationwide probe into the security breach. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman called Target's announcement on Friday "troubling".
"Consumers in New York and around the country expect and deserve companies to protect their personal information when they shop on websites and in their stores," Schneiderman told Reuters.
Jaclyn Falkowski, a spokeswoman for the Connecticut Attorney General, said: "We are actively engaged in investigating this matter with colleagues across the country and will be looking at these new and serious aspects disclosed by Target today as part of that investigation."
Target said last month that hackers stole data from up to 40 million credit and debit cards during the peak holiday shopping season. Information security experts said the data could be used to fabricate false magnetic strip credit cards.
Cyber-criminals typically sell stolen personal information on underground exchanges for use in email "phishing" campaigns aimed at persuading victims to hand over even more sensitive information, such as bank account numbers.
If a Target customer's information was stolen, "I would be very careful in looking out for phishing scams," said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for the computer security software company F-Secure.
Reports of fraudulent card charges have been growing since the breach was disclosed, said an executive at one major card issuer who asked not to be identified.
The full magnitude of the damage won't likely be known until later in January, when customers receive and examine their monthly statements and call their banks, the executive said. He added that in past cases, it has taken 30 to 45 days for the vast majority of bad charges to surface.
Target and credit card issuers have said customers will have zero liability for the cost of any fraudulent charges.
The largest-known breach at a U.S. retailer, uncovered in 2007 was at TJX Cos Inc, where more than 90 million credit cards were stolen over about 18 months.
On Friday Target cut its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings forecast for U.S. operations to $1.20 to $1.30 per share from $1.50 to $1.60.
The Minneapolis-based company also forecast a 2.5 percent decline in fourth-quarter same-store sales. It had forecast flat sales.
Target expects full-year earnings per share to include charges related to the data breach, but said it could not estimate the costs.
Janney Capital Markets analyst David Strasser described Target's holiday sales report card as "dismal."
"We all knew it was going to be bad at Target, but it was the magnitude of decline that was unclear," he said. "Clearly, the first half of the fourth quarter was impacted by an aggressive holiday season across retail, but the credit card data breach had a significant impact post December 19th."
"The key risk remains the time it takes for consumers to forgive Target. If this is like past breaches this should normalize as the year progresses," said Strasser.

About this font family
Figgins and Caslon may be names familiar to many as Type Founders. Indeed they are, but they are perhaps less well known for the emergence of Sans Serif type styles which have become part of our lives since 1889.
The first hundred years of this style is celebrated with this design by Adrian Williams, completed in 1989. It echoes many features of the Gothic, Grotesque and Sans Serif models of the period, based particularly on the 1870 Figgins.

We live in a world where we are subject to environmental and economic effects that transcend national boundaries. Increasing globalisation has led to a greater recognition of the need to address many of these issues through a global or a regional approach.
Solid legal frameworks at all levels, supported by sound institutions that have a respect for the rule of law, are critical to achieving desired environmental objectives. The challenge ahead ranges from the need to develop the best possible international treaties and other agreements, right through to ensuring that each country has the capacity to effectively participate in the debate and to give effect to what is agreed.
The effective implementation of international treaties and other agreements will require each country to have the capacity to develop the necessary policies, legislation and institutions, and to have access to trained staff.
About the Environmental Law Programme
To advance sustainability through the development of legal and policy concepts and instruments, and through building the capacity of societies to develop and implement environmental law and policy, in furtherance of the IUCN Mission.
The Challenge
We live in a world where we are subject to environmental and economic effects that transcend national boundaries. Increasing globalisation has led to a greater recognition of the need to address many of these issues through a global or a regional approach.
IUCN's Response to the Challenge
The ELP is an integrated programme of activities that assists decision makers with information, legal analysis, advisory services, legislative drafting, mentoring and capacity building at national, regional and global levels. The Programme also provides the opportunity and the forum for governments, non-government organisations and others to network and to share information and discuss ideas.
This vast Programme of activities is delivered through the collective efforts of the:
- World Commission on Environmental Law (WCEL), an extensive global volunteer network of over 900 environmental law specialists in more than 130 countries;
- Environmental Law Centre (ELC), a professional international office established in Bonn, Germany in 1970 with 15 highly skilled legal, policy and information specialists; and
- IUCN lawyers based in Regional and Country Offices around the world. Environmental lawyers, or legal officer focal points now exist in IUCN offices around the world, with the Asia Region currently having dedicated environmental lawyers based in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
An Expanding Environmental Law Network
No other organisation can reach across the globe to offer such an extensive combination of expertise and experience as the ELP - the World's Environmental Law Network. The global network of environmental resources available to the ELP has been expanded to enhance our ability to deliver the Programme through the establishment of institutional partnerships.
Institutional Partners
Memoranda of Understanding have been signed with two environmental law organisations in South America, namely:
- The Peruvian Environmental Law Society (SPDA); and
- The Argentinean Foundation for Environment and Natural Resources (FARN).
These organisations have a long history of collaboration with the ELP as do a number of other organisations, including the Macquarie University, Sydney, the Environmental Law Institute in Washington DC, Pace University in New York and the World Wide Fund for Nature in New Delhi. The IUCN ELP has also signed an MoU with ENF EnviroLaw Solutions for activities in Africa.
The IUCN has also entered into Memoranda of Understanding with UNEP and FAO in relation to the operation and expansion of ECOLEX, with UNEP and the Regional Environment Centre for Central and Eastern Europe regarding joint activities in Eastern Europe, with the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme for activities in the South Pacific, and with UNITAR.
The ELP - Delivering Lasting Results
The ELP integrated programme of global activities is designed to deliver lasting results. Activities can be followed up through the Programme's local presence and its vast membership and volunteer network.

Shannon Brown added 19 points, Michael Beasley 16 and Jared Dudley 15 for Phoenix. Markieff Morris added 13 points and had a crucial steal down the stretch. Marcin Gortat and Luis Scola added 12 points apiece for the Suns, who finished the game with a 13-4 run.
Andre Iguodala scored 17 for Denver. JaVale McGee added 16, pretty much all of them on thundering dunks, and Danilo Gallinari scored 15 for the Nuggets. Kenneth Faried scored 14 on 6-of-7 shooting but didn't take a shot in the second half.
Denver outshot Phoenix 54 percent to 46 percent but committed 15 turnovers, resulting in 17 points, to the Suns' six. Denver had nine points off turnovers. Phoenix also prevailed at the foul line, going 17 of 21 to the Nuggets' 11 of 18.
Dragic's 3-pointer from the top of the key put Phoenix ahead 100-96 with 3:14 to play. Ty Lawson's two free throws cut it to 100-98 just 14 seconds later, then Morris made two from the line and stole the ball from Lawson, leading to Brown's fastbreak layup that made it 104-98 with 2:31 remaining.
Faried was called for traveling, then Dragic hit a 19-footer and the Suns led 106-98 with 1:38 to go. After Andre Miller made one of two free throws to close it to 106-100 with 1:19 left, the Suns put it away with baskets by Brown and Gortat.
The Nuggets outshot the Suns 56 percent to 40 percent in the first half but led only 57-54 at the break. Phoenix stayed close by making 13 of 15 free throws in the first two quarters to Denver's 5 of 10.
Denver led most of the third quarter and was ahead 76-71 when McGee dunked with just under 4 minutes left in the period. But Phoenix outscored the visitors 12-2 the rest of the quarter. Dudley and Beasley each hit a 3 during the run, then Dragic's 8-footer gave the Suns an 83-78 lead entering the fourth.
The Nuggets cut the lead to three early in the fourth quarter before Brown's inside basket and Gortat's dunk on a lob from Dragic made it 91-84 with 9:17 to play.
Gallinari's driving layup over Morris cut the Phoenix lead to 97-96 with 3:58 remaining, leading Suns coach Alvin Gentry to call a timeout, and the Suns pulled away from there.

Anando is no more. Boo.
Matt Cronin for FOXSports.com is reporting Ana Ivanovic + Fernando Verdasco have split. A friend of the Serb confirmed Ana broke up with her boy toy during the Brisbane International in Queensland, where she fell to Amelie Mauresmo.
Color me (not) shocked. I mean, from a PR standpoint it was a good move for Nando but it did nothing for Ana besides becoming a major distraction.
But could it also have something to do with his recent hairy situation? If so, I DEF don't blame her.
Bad hair kills. Seriously.

Probably she met Radek The Worm and got weak in the knees like every women!ReplyDelete
Ha! Funny!ReplyDelete
Word of advice Ana: Keep your next boyfriend under wraps for a while okay love? And avoid guys who could use a PR boost.
This pairing is impossible - impossible is nothing. Makes a new interesting sentence no?
I'm telling you. He didn't even get 3rd base.
T.O. - we need some stalkeratti shots of the worm's worm. i think we all deserve proof at this point. maybe it's a double-head worm?ReplyDelete
JadeFoxxy: seriously. even though we're on different teams, i could use some PR too for DtL. anyone have her digits?
babz: what's 3rd base? i've only been to home.
*burns princess diaries*
Why, Rich, I wouldn't know! I keep telling everyone I'm saving for marriage.ReplyDelete
*comment met by pindrop silence*
: we need some stalkeratti shots of the worm's worm:ReplyDelete
I think my ovaries just squirmed, shrank and hid itself. Oh. My. Gross.
- Tennis ObserverJanuary 19, 2009 at 11:10 AM
Maybe *that* worm is an anaconda!ReplyDelete
- johanneJanuary 19, 2009 at 11:10 AM
Yeah, even during some awful drought I'd pass on the Worm. NO THANK YOU, I'll handle this myself.ReplyDelete
I'm dying, DYING I say to see the goods you guys. If it bites back, then I'll say "too good" and wish 'em well.ReplyDelete
Riiiiiiich. Grossssssssssssssssss. Stop this talk!!!!!!! AaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnngggggghhhhhhhhhhReplyDelete
fine Fine FINE!!!ReplyDelete
*puts The Worm back in its can*
so what were discussing here???
Good. Keep that worm in that can.ReplyDelete
As for third base, I like Ana but I'm not one of those crazed Ana fans who thinks she's 100% innocent. She's probably not a virgin and if her fling with Nando wasn't based on publicity, then it was probably about sex and was probably a way to distract herself from her problems with her game.
Hope it was good sex girl.
*smiles contentedly*ReplyDelete
Thank you.
nooooooooo. I'm not a crazed Ana fan, nor do I think she's a v. I just like making fun of this Anando business. It was just so obvious.
I do hope it was good sex.
- johanneJanuary 19, 2009 at 11:40 AM
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but there's something about Fern that I find oh-so-sexy. Sue me! But I'm pretty sure he could give it to you really really good.ReplyDelete
Did I just say that?! ;)
I should've made myself clear. I wasn't talking about YOU specifically. It's pretty obvious you were snarking, lol. I was just referring to the crazier Ana fans in general, who thinks girlie can do no wrong whatsoever. I wasn't talking about anyone on this site.
I just wanted to make sure I am not perceived as a crazed Ana fan. :D
Oh eww, can we vote for a ban on all talk of the Worm's worm? Just eww eww eww ick and eww!ReplyDelete
I have a feeling if this is true, Ana did it because it was affecting her game, not that she didn't find herself attracted to him anymore. Besides, his game looks way better than hers these days.
Yes I know a few of the crazed Ana fans - they've told me off now and again.ReplyDelete
*laughs, on the inside*
*watches the worm struggle in can*
*gets nervous*
But it's true his game is better than hers right now so maybe HE dumped her and they're spinning it like she did the deed. Just sayin'.
You talkin' about me, Rich? Game on, buddy.ReplyDelete
I have to confess I had a dream about Fer the other night and I am pleased to report the he's very sweet (he bought me a painting), smells really good, and a fantastically good kisser.
Much like with Ana that's as far as things got. Because Ana is a saint and she can do no wrong. EVER.
She walks on water, too.
"She walks on water, too."ReplyDelete
Was that the painting? I don't know about you but I don't even want to sniff anything about my man's (fine - one night stand's) past flings.
*fondly remembers boiling his rabbit*
- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2009 at 1:36 PM
Ana is what I think a passive aggressive girl lol. She's really nice off-court but I doubt she's really THAT nice.Did you see her match against Goerges yesterday, she almost dislocated her shoulder with all the fistpumps, haha sorry all ana fans.ReplyDelete
Anyway, I always thought that this whole ordeal with fernando wasn't going to last long. I mean what are they going to talk about, candies and gel? Maybe it's the language that caused it, I don't know if Ana speaks spanish that well, cause Nando's english is kinda crap.
Oh finally this farce is over!!! I don't even wanna comment on Ana's 3rd base...ReplyDelete
As for the Worm's Worm: I think my dinner just got back up a bit. Urgh.
- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Glad the off court fling is over. Now maybe she can concentrate on her tennis!ReplyDelete

I'd like to make a DwtMenu show up when the user cliques a simple raw HTML link (existing code). The menu will then display a bunch of actions that the user can perform.
The idea is a bit like the ActionMenu you use in the DataViewer example...
Now, could you just give me a few guidelines on how to do that ?
I've managed to display a simple menu simply by instantiating a DwtMenu and setting a few DwtMenuItems. But then, for an obscure reason, all the listeners I set on the items wouldn't work except for the very first click on one of the items. That is, only 1 event was passed to the listeners for the whole menu. Any idea why ?
Secondly, I tried customizing the DataViewer example, but then got an empty blank screen...
Anyway, if someone could give me a few lines of code plus a simple explanation on how to achieve what I am trying to do, I'll be thrilled.
Thanks in advance to anyone.

Gabriel's Guacamole
Gabriel says: It's easy, inexpensive and tastes better than the mixes or store bought stuff. Prep time is less than 5 minutes. Use it as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
3 Soft Avocados
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
1/2 Lime, juiced
1 1/2 teaspoons Onion flakes
Hot Sauce
With a fork, mash up soft avocados (without pits and skin, of course) in a medium sized bowl until smooth. Add oil, juice from 1/2 lime and onion flakes. (You can use fresh onion if desired, I find the flakes easier to use, without hurting the taste.) Mix with fork until well blended. Add a splash or two of hot sauce, and mix again. For the hot sauce I prefer habanero, which is very hot, but any sauce will do to give the guacamole a little bite. For an authentic taste, don't use Tabasco. Every recipe I've seen for guacamole says to refrigerate for an hour before serving, I never do that. My wife and I eat it right away!

Sharing a nest — a tale of two sisters
(Page 3 of 3)
My sister is off to a new life, and we are still here, with one more empty room. Why do people keep leaving? We went through this before, when the kids went off to college, and my heart is ping-ponging in the same way. Such uncertainty. Such doubt. My sister will have a big house to maintain and a mortgage to pay and lawns to mow and basements to fill with gourds. She will have neighbors. And a stunning electric bill for the freaking towel warmer.
My baby sister; she's only 62. Can she possibly be ready to live on her own?

Is the tank Stable? Like no fluctuations
nothing really in a good year now, ive even added scrapings from my roommates tank which grows the stuff like crazy (under just regular pcs)
Posted 17 February 2012 - 09:45 PM
Need some help, i think spagetti worms are annhilating my zoas, anyone ever heard of this? i had to take my big zoa colony and break it up to try to avoid losing the whole thing, my sand bed is littered with spagetti worms which from what i have read isnt a problem but some may have came in attached to the zoa colony and almost wiped it.......all other corals are completely fine
Posted 25 February 2012 - 08:08 PM
my roommates tank rsm130d is an established system an all is well. he just added a toadstool leather which was healthy at lfs. a week later it has some kind of infection or rotting and the polyps wont open. see the picture here
any help would be appreciated asap as to what it is or what do to.
we are probably going to cut it out with a razor but would it be better to cut it completely on an angle and then place elsewhere in the tank?
Posted 27 February 2012 - 07:53 AM
Posted 01 March 2012 - 11:53 PM
* so my roommate decided to go ahead and completely cut the coral off the rock on this / kinda angle thus eliminating the bad spot. it seems to have worked well. to resecure the coral to a new rock he used an interesting method he found somewhere that involved running a toothpick directly through the base of the corals stalk and then rubber banding the toothpick down to the rock...... the coral is responding well and all polys are back out - ill try n get a pic of what he did tmrw - n maybe a fts update of my tank growing in if i feel like it

if you got a rock with GSP on it or the Frag , lay the rock up against the back wall. The mat will end up spreading on the glass ... Of corse coraline on the glass there helps...

You may need to introduce coraline if you don't have any.
Edited by markalot, 13 December 2012 - 07:18 AM.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 07:42 AM
First off, do you have an algae issues? The tank looks terrific, so I'm wondering how much work it is to keep everything looking so clean.
How often do you change the water and how much?
How do you take care of that sandbed, if you do anything?
Please start testing and reporting Alk, Calcium, and SG (salinity). This really helps the rest of us determine what is working for people or to diagnose problems.
You mention adding purpleup but nothing else. Purpleup is mainly calcium and you report calcium is staying at 400 which tells me both calc and alk is being used up. You might have an imbalance ... yet everything looks great.
I read the entire thread, sorry you didn't get a lot of help in the past but it may be lack of parameters and the forum you're in.
I love those blastos
Edited by markalot, 13 December 2012 - 07:43 AM.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 11:34 PM
first off thanks for taking the time the read the whole thread. i read both your in return
is there a way for me to move this thread into members aquariums?
in response to your questions
1. ill consider testing params and stuff for the benefit of others but i dont have the best kits in terms of accuracy and dont pay much attention or test ever to be honest.
2. water changes. every week i change 5 gallons...sometimes every two weeks if im lazy. its a 29 gallon so water volume is prob around 22 gallons ... so that would put it at around 20-25% water change, the little aqualife skimmer i got is amazing and helps hugely.
3.every now and then i do a random double water change...ill do a 5 gallon one day and another 5 gallon the next day. i dont know why i do this just feels right and seems to work
4. i have 0 algea in terms of hair/cyano...never got any since recovering from the crash (the little lawnmower blenny prob helps) i feed him seaweed a couple of times a week. i get grime algea that grows on glass that has to be razored of once a week which takes like 10 mins right before water change....also what i find is weird is when i wait two weeks for water change and dont touch the grime i get these little astrea stars on the glass like CRAZY !! also the blenny eats the stuff on the glass too
5. a barely add purple up anymore, not too concerned with coraline growth anymore i guess my tank just does not have the conditions/lighting for it caus i have tried everything from scrapings from my roommates tank too a rock from fish store cover in it in the tank to placing a little frag of rock covered in it in my return pump outlet to spread it everywhere
6. the sandbed.....i think its about 3-4 inches so is just about a DSB. i dont do anything to it, dont touch it, stir it, clean it. nothing. i have about 10 hermits that have been alive for a long time..little guys like the size of a peanut dont know anything over other than the occasional zoa frag. i have two nassarius snails that have been alive for like 3 years..these guys live in the sand and come out mainly for food i have like 3-4 turbo snails..im waiting for boxing week to go grab a bunch more snails and hermits
7. you didnt ask about feeding or dosing but heres what i do recently
- capful or frozen cube of something everyday sometimes everyother day.
monday - a cap of aquavitro fuel n feed a few fish pellets
tuesday - two cubes of mysis. or a cube of mysis and a cube of cyclopzee
wednesday - a cap of marine snow n feed a few pellets
thursday - a capful of plankton and i use this stuff that i mix with saltwater from tank called maybe some more mysis....i feel if i was a fish i would want to eat at least once a day. so i try to fish my feed once a day
friday - meh maybe nothing other than a few pellets for the fishies
sat - more fuel n mysis
sun- marine snow pellets
small sidenote.....i feed all of the above in the later part of the "lights on day" when all corals are in full bloom
i think my tank does well for soft corals....i think stony corals dont like my water because its quite nutrient heavy but i could be wrongs
8. temperature. ugh summer sucks. always lose a couple of corals or a fish because it gets just two hot...might consider a chiller but its in the bedroom n if makes noise the missus wont be happy
any questions or feedback feel free to post/comment. heres an fts from right this minute with some grime on glass to show you what i mean
heres an fts with water marks grime n a coral bottom left recovering from whatever has annoyed it...maybe like xenia it has just decided to melt away. hopefully not
just to show u guys it dosent always look sharp n crisp
heres the grime i talk about above
heres two odd anenome/mushroom type creatures...were in different spots in tank a on different sides of the tank a month ago and have found their way to eachother somehow. fascinating !!
Are you still dosing purple up? Coralline needs a few things to get started, stable levels of strontium, low phosphates, mag, alk and calcium should start it up. Do you have a test kit for any of these? If you do, I would test weekly and log it to make sure you are stable, and dose accordingly.
Tank looks great, btw!
ur tank links dont work.......i wanted to look at them
