Farm Frenzy 2
by Alawar Entertainment
Goal of the gameKeep your animals well-fed (and safe from bears) and sell your farm products at the market. Use your earnings to upgrade your farm and increase your productivity. Meet every day's goal in order to advance to the next level.
Game controlsYou need to grow grass so your animals won't die of hunger. Left click the ground to make the grass grow. Growing grass will cost you water. If the well is empty, left click on it to buy water.
Left click on the products your animals leave on the ground to collect them. They will be dispatched to the warehouse automatically, unless your warehouse is full. In order to empty the warehouse, left click it and choose to sell some or all of your products. When your truck returns, you collect your payment automatically.
When you need specific products you can't produce yourself, you can buy them in the city. Click the plane and choose the goods you'd like to buy. When the plane returns, it will drop the goods. Left click all products to store them in your warehouse, so you can use them.
You can purchase extra animals in the game screen. Sometimes you need to buy certain buildings in order to start a new level. Go to the shop to purchase these buildings.
If your buildings aren't constructed at the beginning of a level, you first need to collect enough money to construct the buildings. When you have enough money, left click on the sign near the building sign. Once they're built, you can left click on buildings to start processing specific products. You can only process products which are in the warehouse. In order to upgrade buildings, left click on the sign again.
These animals are available in the online version of this game:
These buildings are available in the online version of this game:
BonusesIf you need more money to buy animals or buildings, you can sell your products on the market.
You can also sell bears on the market. Click on the cage after you captured a bear in order to dispatch it to the warehouse and sell it.

Maria has just confirmed she will be wearing shorts throughout the tournie!!ReplyDelete
She will be sporting the tuxedo style top and shorts.
All right! Great work karolina!!ReplyDelete
- KarolinaJune 21, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Thanks Rich.... Maria confirms that she will be debuting 'mens wear' (aka a tuxedo look) on her website.ReplyDelete
Love the speculation/buzz/hype in the week prior to grand slams!!
does anyone know if Venus will be wearing nike or her own eleven line, I have read that she is wearing the eleven gear during practices, but is going to wear a Nike dress for the actual tournament??? I like the tux thing sharapova is going to wear.. I like different styles and risks!!!ReplyDelete
- KarolinaJune 21, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Hey Jovan,ReplyDelete
I love different styles and risk takers too (that goes as far too say that I love what Betthanie Mattek wears. Yes, I'm not ashamed to admit it).
To the point at hand, Venus will be wearing an eleVen dress, designed by hers truly.
I actually saw a preview of it somewhere too....
cue "Bootylicious"ReplyDelete
On Maria's style...yes, the shorts were the nicest of the three you previewed here at DtL. And I do think endless legs are a great look. Good call, Maria.
thanks a lot karolina!!! this site is great...ReplyDelete

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common, usually benign heart disorder. The mitral valve controls blood flow between the upper and lower chambers on the left side of the heart. Normally, blood should only flow from the upper chamber into the lower chamber. In MVP, the valve flaps don't work properly. Part of the valve balloons into the atrium, which may be associated with blood flowing in the wrong direction or leaking back into the atrium.
In most cases, the cause of MVP is unknown. In some cases, it appears to be an inherited genetic condition.
Factors that may increase your chance of getting mitral valve prolapse include:
People with mitral valve prolapse often do not have symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they may include one or more of the following:
Mitral valve prolapse can be heard through a stethoscope. A small blood leakage will sound like a murmur. When the mitral valve balloons backward, it may produce a clicking sound. Both murmurs and clicks are signs of MVP. An
can confirm the diagnosis. You may also be asked to wear a
Holter monitor
for a day or two to record the electrical activity of your heart.
In most cases, no treatment is necessary. Although no longer routinely recommended, you may need to take antibiotics prior to some dental and medical procedures. This is to prevent infections. Ask your doctor if you will need to take antibiotics.
If symptoms include chest pain, anxiety, or panic attacks, a beta-blocker medication can be prescribed. Ask your doctor whether you may continue to participate in your usual physical activities.
In very rare cases, the blood leakage may become severe. In these few cases, the mitral valve may need to be surgically repaired or replaced.
There are no guidelines for preventing MVP of unknown or genetic origin.
You may be able to prevent symptoms, through certain lifestyle changes:

Protection and cell repair strategies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease ("PD") depend on well-characterized candidate human stem cells that are robust and show promise for generating the neurons of interest following stimulation of inherent brain stem cells or after cell transplantation. These stem cells must also be expandable in the culture dish without unwanted growth and differentiation into cancer cells, they must survive the transplantation process or, if endogenous brain stem cells are stimulated, they should insinuate themselves in established brain networks and hopefully ameliorate the disease course.
The studies proposed for the CIRM Research Leadership Award have three major components that will help better understand the importance and uses of stem cells for the treatment of PD, and at the same time get a better insight into their role in disease repair and causation. First, we will characterize adult human neural stem cells from control and PD brain specimens to distinguish their genetic signatures and physiological properties of these cells. This will allow us to determine if there are stem cells that are pathological and fail in their supportive role in repairing the nervous system. Next, we will investigate a completely novel disease initiation and propagation mechanism, based on the concept that secreted vesicles from cells (also known as "exosomes") containing a PD-associated protein, alpha-synuclein, propagate from cell-to cell. Our hypothesis is that these exosomes carry toxic forms of alpha-synuclein from cell to cell in the brain, thereby accounting disease spread. They may do the same with cells transplanted in patients with PD, thereby causing these newly transplanted cells designed to cure the disease, to be affected by the same process that causes the disease itself. This is a bottleneck that needs to be overcome for neurotransplantation to take its place as a standard treatment for PD.
Our studies will address disease-associated toxicity of exosomal transmission of aggregated proteins in human neural precursor stem cells. Importantly, exosomes in spinal fluid or other peripheral tissues such as blood might represent a potentially early and reliable disease biomarker as well as a new target for molecular therapies aimed at blocking transcellular transmission of PD-associated molecules.
Finally, we have chosen pre-clinical models with α-synucleinopathies to test human neural precursor stem cells as cell replacement donors for PD as well as interrogate, for the first time, their potential susceptibility to PD and contribution to disease transmission. These studies will provide a new standard of analysis of human neural precursor cells at risk for and contributing to pathology (so-called "stem cell pathologies") in PD and other neurodegenerative diseases via transmission of altered or toxic proteins from one cell to another.
According to the National Institute of Health, Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in California and the United States (one in 100 people over 60 is affected) second only to Alzheimer's Disease. Millions of Americans are challenged by PD, and according to the Parkinson's Action Network, every 9 minutes a new case of PD is diagnosed. The cause of the majority of idiopathic PD is unknown. Identified genetic factors are responsible for less than 5% of cases and environmental factors such as pesticides and industrial toxins have been repeatedly linked to the disease. However, the vast majority of PD is thought to be etiologically multi-factorial, resulting from both genetic and environmental risk factors. Important events leading to PD probably occur in early or mid adult life. According to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, "…there is no objective test, or reliable biomarker for PD, so rate of misdiagnosis is high, and there is a seriously pressing need to develop better early detection approaches to be able to attempt disease-halting protocols at a non-symptomatic, so-called prodromal stage."
The proposed innovative and transformative research program will have a major direct impact for patients who live in California and suffer from PD and other related neurodegenerative diseases. If these high-risk high-pay-off studies are deemed successful, this new program will have tackled major culprits in the PD field. They could lead to a better understanding of the role of stem cells in health and disease. Furthermore they could greatly advance our knowledge of how the disease spreads throughout the brain which in turn could lead to entire new strategies to halt disease progression. In a similar manner these studies could lead to ways to prevent the disease from spreading to cells that have been transplanted to the brain of Parkinson's patients in an attempt to cure their disease. This is critical for neurotransplantation to thrive as a therapeutic approach to treating PD. In addition, if we extend the cell-to-cell transmissible disease hypothesis to other neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, the studies proposed here represent a new diagnostic approach and therapeutic targets for many diseases affecting Californians and humankind in general.
This CIRM Research Leadership Award will not only have an enormous impact on understanding the cause of PD and developing new therapeutic strategies using stem cells and its technologies, this award will also be the foundation of creating a new Center for Translational Stem Cell Research within California. This could lead to further growth at the academic level and for the biotechnology industry, particularly in the area regenerative medicine.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) - Eight plainclothes police officers carrying guns were asked to leave the Buffalo Wild Wings in Manassas because of its "no guns" policy.
Now, the restaurant chain has issued an apology and more. Regional Manager Philip Rossi says the company has a good relationship with the community and welcomes all law enforcement officers, with or without guns.
Rossi says the manager knew they were officers when he asked them to leave. The officers were all wearing identification. The problem, Rossi says, is that the manager didn't realize the company's "no guns" policy excluded police officers, even plain clothes officers.
The restaurant has put up blue and white balloons in support of police and has pledged to donate 10 percent of today's sales to the non-profit Law Enforcement United which helps the children of fallen officers.
Prince William County Officer Jarad Phelps came to the Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch today, but also to thank them for the donations and their apology.
Phelps, speaking as an individual says about the mishap, "Thought it was a mistake, that's all. It's one of those unfortunate things that happens."
Customers we talked to feel the same way and appreciate the restaurant's pledge of support to Law Enforcement United.
It used to be illegal for non-law enforcement to carry a gun into a restaurant in Virginia. In 2010, lawmakers reversed that, requiring that people carrying guns don't drink alcohol in the establishments. However, restaurants can have their own "no guns" policy, like Buffalo Wild Wings does.
Joy Diaz says she likes the no guns policy and wishes more restaurants would have it. She says it makes her uncomfortable seeing someone carrying a gun because there's been a lot of crime around and, "you never know."
However, she's fine if she knows it's a police officer with a gun and now, so is Buffalo Wild Wings.
The company is based in Minneapolis and has about 900 restaurants across the country.

California releases fourth snowpack survey
The California Department of Water Resources announced that the results from the fourth of five surveys confirming below-normal water year conditions.
"An unusually wet March improved conditions, but did not make up for the previous dry months," said DWR Director Mark Cowin.
The average water content of California's snowpack was still only 55 percent of the expected April 1 normal. The relative composition of the Sierra Nevada snowpack, from which Western's Central Valley Project receives snowmelt, was 78 percent of April 1 normal for the northern Sierras, 55 percent of the April 1 normal for the central Sierras and 39 percent of the April 1 normal for the southern Sierras. At the same time last year, the snowpack water content showed 173 percent of the April 1 average for the northern Sierras, 161 percent in the central Sierras, and 155 percent for the southern Sierras.
Both the State and Federal water projects have announced reduced deliveries for the upcoming water year.
"The reduced water deliveries are expected to result in reduced hydropower generation output for the Central Valley and State Water Projects," said Western's Sierra Nevada Region Power Marketing Manager Sonja Anderson. "However, the impact of reduced water deliveries is somewhat mitigated by last year's above-normal precipitation, which has resulted in higher than average starting reservoir storage levels."

Virgin Atlantic Launches World's First-Ever Glass-Bott
omed Plane
As you may have seen in the national press, after nearly 30 years of providing the ultimate long-haul flying experience, Virgin Atlantic and our founder Richard Branson are once again flying in the face of ordinary by announcing the creation of a world first in aircraft innovation. This technological innovation coincides with the start of our first ever domestic service, Little Red.
Today we've announced that our world-class engineering crew have been secretly working on the design and production of the world's first-ever glass-bottomed plane, created to ensure passengers can enjoy both an unparalleled flying experience, as well as a selection of stunning landscapes from the comfort of their seats.
The new aircraft will offer every passenger the chance of a bird's eye view with an extra special opportunity to look down on the beautiful scenery of Great Britain as they fly.
The project has been personally funded by Richard Branson and overseen by Virgin Atlantic's own Innovation team, who have been hard at work on this top secret project for several years. Richard set himself a personal goal to change the face of flying forever when he started Virgin Atlantic Airways in 1984 and this is one of many in the long line of aviation breakthroughs.
The service will be open for bookings shortly and if it proves popular there are plans to explore options for adding a glass-bottomed plane on routes to long-haul travel destinations too.
The aircraft will look identical to the standard Airbus A320 that is currently being used on Little Red's domestic routes, but will have a clear strip made from aviation-standard glass in place of the traditional aisle. This ensures the aisle in the plane's underbelly is completely see through, allowing passengers to look down directly as the plane makes its journey through the sky.
Cabin crew will also be specially trained to assist with any fliers who may be nervous travelling on the innovative aircraft. As an alternative, those anxious fliers are urged to book onto the two other daily flights from Heathrow to Aberdeen running as part of Little Red's scheduled timetable.
"I'm thrilled to announce that Virgin has created another world-first with the introduction of the technology required to produce the world's first glass-bottomed plane," said Richard Branson, Virgin Atlantic founder and president. "In 1984 we started the wonderful airline that is Virgin Atlantic Airways. I am incredibly proud of yet another aviation breakthrough which has been years in the making. I can't wait to experience the first flight for myself with my family and other natural born explorers."
"I have asked the rest of the Virgin companies to get on board and support my latest quest to help us support the new domestic Scottish flight path. This really is a team effort from all corners of Virgin.
"2012 was a year of celebrating what is brilliant about Great Britain and I'm excited that in 2013 we are continuing this uplifting spirit by developing an experience that will enable Little Red passengers to appreciate the beauty of the British landscape. And with an unrivalled view of Scotland I hope this gives Scottish tourism an even bigger boost.
To see the entire Virgin group activity to support the glass-bottomed plane and further information on this exciting announcement, please visit www.virgin.com/richard-branson/blog.
Virgin Atlantic Little Red is our new UK domestic service, offering great value, full service multiple daily flights between London and Manchester, London and Aberdeen and London and Edinburgh. Little Red flights can be booked now, bringing you closer to all our destinations.

This is an april fool if ever ive seen one
Well, this would be completely horrifying...
I love this April Fools joke, great job VirginAtlantic!
I for one would love to fly on a plane with a glass bottom floor.
Before I found out it was an April Fool's joke, I actually thought it was true. Yes I am gullible...and proud!
This would be great for water landings
Why not? www.aviation-glass.com
@Rinus - um, hold luggage? *grin*
This is not for the faint hearted. It's only for Big Boys and Girls... the adventurous explorer.
How thick will the glass be? :-O
The great thing about this, my daughter will never fight for window seats again. She was very amused and breath taken when she saw this. Looks magnificent, scary and glamourous but I think I will get headaches too. WOWCHA!
I would love to fly with such a plane, it would be totally new flying experience. Have you seen http://easyflightsim.com?
It's a fake picture. The place u step and walk between the seats inside the airplane is near of the half of de airplane diameter, so u are really walking over your lugages, fuel, landing gear and tires of the plane and a lot of controls that drive the tail. Fake
The idea is beautiful, but a digital camera on the bottom of the plane transmitting the scenary below the plane to a monitor behind every seat would be much cheaper and less scary for people who do not feel so comfortable with this sensation.
I want to dance on the clouds. Come to Phoenix.
well you make my goosebumps stand, its like i can see whole earth.

Comments about EASTON Junior Baseball/Softball Mask:
This mask fits my daughter's Natural Grip Two Tone Helmet (fits 6 3/8 - 7 1/8) perfectly.
I would have liked instructions, but relied on photos of helmets with masks. It was easy enough to see that the clear piece went on first, the metal next, then it was screwed into the screw holes already on the helmet.
The only problem I had installing it was being over eager and bending one of the metal "clip-like" pieces, warping the flat part. The screw never was able to be tightened on that one. Thankfully, they sell sets of the hardware, so a new piece solved the problem, but I wish I hadn't caused it in the first place.

It seems comparable to my eye. However, and this is just a guess, it could be a function of the MRV functionality (e.g. network functionality) and not which machine is the client and which the server.
Right now my setup consists of two HR24's connected via WholeHome. I'm pretty satisfied with the performance EXCEPT for one thing that bugs me: when I'm fast forwarding/rewinding a program that is stored on the other/remote HR24; the images refresh at a much slower rate than when I'm watching the program locally.
Question for those who have played around with the HR44, and have used HR24's with Whole Home: how do the refresh rates of the HR44's clients compare to the HR24 being viewed remotely from another HR24?
Or for anyone who's played around with HR44 + clients, how do the ff/rwd refresh rates of the clients compare to those of the HR44 viewed locally?
Of course I've been wrong before.

ARLINGTON, Texas (WUSA) -- The Washington Redskins shocked the football world, including the Dallas Cowboys, in the first half of Thanksgiving's matchup at the new Cowboys Stadium.
QB Robert Griffin III had a 158.3 quarterback rating in the first half by going 11-14, with 208 yards and three touchdowns to three different receivers.
Aldrick Henderson started the 28-point second quarter with a 69 yard TD on a confused Cowboys secondary. That play, along with a Dez Bryant fumble on Dallas's next possession, opened the floodgates to the quarter.
Tony Romo threw for 441 yards on 37-of-62 passing with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the setback. The Dallas signal-caller had been undefeated in his previous five starts on Thanksgiving Day.
Dez Bryant hauled in eight passes for 145 yards and a pair of scores for the Cowboys (5-6), who had won their last two games.
Griffin finished 20-28 with four touchdowns and one interception and 311 yards.
The Cowboys outscored the Redskins 28-10 in the second half, but the Redskins held on to win 38-31.

Hahn Earns 14th Big 12 Defensive POW Award
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
In No. 25 Iowa State's win over Baylor Saturday at Hilton Coliseum, Hahn was at her very best to help the Cyclones earn the sweep. Sweeps can be detrimental to libero's with big numbers, but that was not the case Saturday as Hahn led the Cyclones with 21 digs, an astonishing 7.00 digs per set.
However, it was not just the digs that made Hahn's performance stand out. The two-time All-American was everywhere on the court helping get the Cyclones out of tough situations. If another ISU passer had to make a challenging dig, Hahn was on the scene to help clean up for an over ball, or even a potential attack.
This was the 14th Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award for Hahn. The two-time defending Big 12 Libero of the Year, Hahn is now alone in second place in Big 12 volleyball history for career weekly awards, passing former Texas star and U.S. Olympian Destinee Hooker's 13 awards. The only student-athlete ahead of her is Iowa State legend Ashley Mass (2007-10), who won 15 Big 12 weekly awards during her distinguished career.
Hahn is the Big 12's leader in digs at 5.56 per set, which ranks her ninth in the country. Hahn contributes to the Iowa State cause in a variety of ways, averaging 0.79 assists per set and 0.18 service aces per set to go with her excellent defense.
Tiana Dockery of Kansas was named the Offensive Player of the Week, and Chiaka Ogbogu of Texas was named Rookie of the Week.
Iowa State will resume Big 12 play Wednesday with a trip to Texas Tech for a 6 p.m. match in United Spirit Arena. Fox Sports Southwest will be televising the match.

Country legend Ray Price has been hospitalized with a blood infection.
The singer, who is battling pancreatic cancer, was taken to a medical center on Tuesday night, according to his wife Janie, and treated for sepsis.
In a post on Price's Facebook.com page, his wife writes, "We rushed him to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and treatment was started. Ray's blood pressure dropped too low and his heart rate too high. We were in watchful crisis all night long and through out early morning hours before he stabilized. Dr. Red Duke is here in charge and coordinating all of the Specialists treating Ray."
She adds, "I am at Ray's bedside and have not left him for a second. I will continue to be ever watchful and give updates as Ray continues to improve."
Price has been in and out of hospital in recent months and he was forced to cancel a handful of concerts this summer after having kidney stones removed.
The "For the Good Times" hitmaker, 87, was also admitted to a medical center in May with severe dehydration, a common side effect associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Ted Roof has left Penn State after one season as defensive coordinator to take the same job at his alma mater, Georgia Tech.
A statement on Georgia Tech's website Wednesday said Roof's hiring could not become official until he completed a background check which would likely occur next week.
Roof is a Georgia native who also served as defensive coordinator for the Yellow Jackets under George O'Leary for three seasons starting in 1999.
The Nittany Lions announced Roof's resignation on their Twitter feed on Wednesday. Secondary coach John Butler will take over as defensive coordinator.
Roof's departure comes as somewhat of a surprise after a successful 2012 campaign coordinating first-year coach Bill O'Brien's defense. The coaching veteran tweaked Penn State's well-established defense with more blitzing schemes.

Shadow Catchers: Camera-less Photography By Martin Barnes
At the dawn of photography, various image-makers explored camera-less techniques, and today there are a number of artists who continue to challenge the belief that a camera is necessary to create a photograph. Shadow Catchers presents the work of five leading practitioners Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Garry Fabian Miller and Floris Neusüss who, by casting shadows on light-sensitive paper or by chemically manipulating its surface, capture the presence of objects, figures or glowing light. The results are powerful images, often with surreal effects and symbolic content. This is the first book to gather together the exciting works of these key contemporary artists, revealing the technical processes and creative practices involved in their art. In an age of mass-produced imagery, Shadow Catchers offers hand-crafted photographs that are both haunting and thought-provoking.

Dressing Like a Woman for the Ages
My sister recently saw a sign with this message on it (I've been shopping for 20 years and still don't have anything to wear!) and took a picture next to it because it is sooooo true. It doesn't matter how often I shop, I still feel that my wardrobe is inadequate. Something doesn't fit right, it's the wrong color, or doesn't go with anything else I own. Fortunately, there is help. Here are my go to guides for putting outfits together.

Want to know what to wear on a date, first day on the job, or while out shopping with friends?--this book will answer those questions and more.
Skinny Jeans--Is it a Yes or No?
The New Secrets of Style by editors of InStyle Magazine
This book will help you figure out what works best for you. Did you know that people on the shorter side should avoid long boyfriend sweaters or that you should buy sunglasses based on the shape of your face? You will also find out how to match colors, accessorize, and shop in all the right places.
Va Va Voom or Peace, Love, and Tie-Dye?
The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style by editors of Lucky Magazine

Style A to Zoe: the Art of Fashion, Beauty, and Everything Glamour by Rachel Zoe
This is another favorite of mine. The suggestions are a little unrealistic for the common shopper, but she has great suggestions and Rachel Zoe is always fun. If you watch The Rachel Zoe Project, you know what I'm talking about. Bananas!

text: Home Culture On Blacks and Fat: Shannon Barber This fat-acceptance advocate and blogger says that being healthy is not an obligation. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: May 31 2012 12:27 AM 0 Courtesy of Shannon Barber (The Root) -- Obesity is more common in African Americans than in other ethnic groups. But when it comes to black people and weight, that's where the agreement seems to end. Is food the culprit? Is exercise the solution? Is there even a real problem to begin with, or should we be focusing on health -- or even self-acceptance -- rather than the number on the scale? Against the backdrop of a first lady's mission to slim down the nation's kids, black celebs getting endorsements after shedding inches and a booming weight-loss industry, The Root will publish a series of interviews with medical professionals, activists and fitness enthusiasts that reveal the complexity of this issue and the range of approaches to it. For the seventh in the series, The Root talked to Shannon Barber, a self-described fat-acceptance advocate, who blogs at Nudemuse about topics including body acceptance, challenging mainstream views of weight and the pitfalls of the diet and exercise industries. Read the rest of the interviews in the series here, and check out The Root's other obesity coverage here. The Root: According to the latest statistics, African Americans are 1.5 times as likely as whites to be obese. What's going on, from your perspective, with black people, obesity and overall health? Shannon Barber: Well, my first issue with that is those statistics almost always go by the BMI (body mass index), and the BMI is -- I would say, if no one's aware of it, just give it a quick Google -- it's one of the most flawed and inaccurate and awful things going on right now. And unfortunately, with the BMI, there isn't any real acknowledgment of other muscle types, bone density, muscle mass and other things that can make you go from being perfectly fine [in terms of BMI] to being morbidly obese. It's completely misleading. The BMI was never even meant to address people in this manner; it's not really what it was for. But it has become the ruler and the standard -- and the big fear tactic. TR: When it comes to African Americans and obesity, what is the biggest myth or misunderstanding? SB: I don't believe in the idea of binary health, for African Americans or any other group. I don't believe people are absolutely healthy or absolutely unhealthy. Given the bio-differences of humanity, no one's ever going to be healthy in the same way. Let's make it not about weight for a second: You and I can get on a plane together, and someone sitting between us coughs -- I might catch a cold, you might not. That doesn't mean you're better than me. It just means that your particular biology is different from mine. And that's not bad, that's not good ... it just is. (Continued from Page 1) I really tend to view weight in the same way. And I don't think that health is an obligation. I don't have to be visually attractive to other people; other people aren't responsible to feed me ... my fat acceptance is very much rooted in bodily autonomy. I don't believe that anyone has the right to police other people's bodies. I'm really not a fan of the health-and-diet industry, either. It's abusive and hurtful and is based on lies. I don't believe those famous TV trainers who tell you that if you just try hard enough, and if you exercise until you throw up and you buy the things that they sell, then you, too, will be an awesome human being. It's just sick and abusive, and it's toxic to people. And more than the "obesity crisis," I feel that is what is leading people to so much sickness and death. TR: If you could make just one suggestion for people to implement in their daily lives with respect to weight and health, what would it be? SB: I would say that the most important thing, for me personally, was to have a moment where I understood that nobody owns my body. All of the people who would take issue with it, or walk by me and call me fat ass or talk about the food I buy in the grocery store -- I had to figure out that none of those people was responsible for my body or for taking care of me. I would remind people of that. TR: What cultural, historical or psychological issues make the black community's relationship with weight and heath unique? SB: Weight, I think, has become a really divisive and ugly thing in the black community. I've seen -- probably in the last 10 years or so -- this shift [among] young women trying to fit this very white, European standard of beauty that, unfortunately, they're just never going to have. And then you have other people that are trying to uphold the kind of very sexualized thick image of the perfect woman, and that's highly problematic as well. And then of course we have other people in our community, you know -- a lot of us just don't have time to care. A lot of people in the community have so many other things to do. That's just not even on their radar. When it comes to the numbers of African Americans involved in the fat-acceptance movement, the number is way smaller than it should be. But like every other movement that's been started, [getting followers] can be difficult. Next: Dr. Gayle Porter of the Gaston & Porter Health Improvement Center.

Best wood for tripod legs?

Hickory, ash or white oak
Posted 05 February 2014 - 09:25 AM
Eight times harder than redwood.
A dense wood with close grain. Coloration similar to Teak.
Difficult to work, but resists weathering better than most wooed. It can be sealed to stabilize the color (or it will turn gray in time, but can be pressure washaed back to normal color)
You can often find scraps from deck companys. Call one in your area that installs Ipe decks and ask them if they will give you some short scraps after their next project.
Of course all of these other woods mentioned are fine choices too, but you asked for other alternatives so I thought I would mention it.
I am not kidding though... If you rush a long rip, you will dull out your saw. It is horribly dense stuff. For Ipe, it is best to keep the cuts slow to avoid melting out the edge on the saw teeth.
Honestly though, this would likely be overkill. I am sure that some ash would work well enough and be far easier to work. Again, you asked for alternatives, so I am just offering another one that most people don't know about.
Posted 05 February 2014 - 12:25 PM
Posted 05 February 2014 - 01:37 PM
I like to work with red oak, and it sure is heavy and dense (which is good for mount stability) but I'm not sure about its dampening abilities. Heavy is good, but rigid isn't good if it propagates vibration. I'll have to see what the tradeoffs are.

While almost all of the tripods and bino mounts that I have built over 30 years were made from red oak I like ash even better.

Ash is my preferred wood, followed by white oak, but you have to use stainless steel hardware with white oak or the the wood blackens.
I didn't know that for white oak. I like working with red oak (for the stiffness) but I don't like the weight or the toxicity of the sawdust. For this, though, either redwood or oak might be the best answer.
I was reading through Roth's Compendium earlier, and it seems that the tradeoff for any tripod is between stiffness and the ability to dampen or "bleed" vibrations quickly. There's a chapter by a fellow named Zaegler (I think) that covers mount design and has a bunch of good stuff in it.
There is one other characteristic that's important, as pointed out here: weight. I should be able to move it. So some of the lighter woods win out on that point.

White Oak is NOT like red oak. It is stronger and weathers well for outdoor purposes.
Teak and ipe have been mentioned but they are heavy.
My 3 would still be ash, hickory or white oak.

Cedar 4x4's would work ok.
Cypress would work good.
Dogwood is probably the hardest hardwood I have ever worked with even compared to ebony.
If you are up north look for rock maple, also very hard.
If you are in the south look for long 8 foot pallets behind buildings, they are usually supported by oak 4x4's, which are kiln dried and very strong, probably white oak.
Beech is very strong but will be expensive.
Heartwood pine and refurbished barn beams would do great.
If you live near a lumber mill that dries wood on site, ask if you can buy their kull wood, which is scrap cut off of the ends. Usually you can find some good sized pieces.
What you want to stay away from is wood which has not been kiln dried which will cause all kinds of problems.

Here's a link to a page showing the various characteristics of common hardwoods.
Hope this helps....LINK

Anything in the hickory or pecan families appears to be the best, based on work at maximum load. It's about twice as strong as oak.

Using high quality daily products is the first step in achieving healthy hair. When hair is in extra need of help, Frederic Fekkai Treatments can play a vital role in restoring what has been lost. Regular use of Frederic Fekkai Treatments can help to enhance daily products by delivering an extra boost of helpful ingredients to hair that is compromised. Frederic Fekkai Treatments address different issues which is why some fall under a particular Frederic Fekkai line.
Frederic Fekkai Treatments are meant to be a part of a comprehensive hair care system for healthier hair. Regular use is important in order to achieve results. Frederic Fekkai Treatments produce real, cumulative results that work to build a better head of hair rather than just temporarily covering up the problem. To find the perfect Frederic Fekkai Treatments, Frederic Fekkai recommends that you start by identifying the concerns and condition of the hair.
Because the aging process shows many signs in the hair, a treatment that starts at the root of the problem is the only effective way to restore vitality. Frederic Fekkai Ageless Creme Luxe Hair Treatment is rich in orchid extract and proteins. The formula penetrates the hair to restore strength as well as elasticity. Regular treatments work to improve the overall condition of hair that has experienced the effects of aging. The hair is left smooth and shiny from the health that radiates from within. Continued use will result in younger, more resilient hair.
Hair that is color treated faces several problems. Frequently hair treatments can weaken the hair and cause dryness. Over the time hair color can fade, leaving it looking drab. Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Salon Technician Rapid Results Moisture Mask delivers much needed hydration to thirsty hair. UV blockers help to protect hair color against fading which often results from too much sun exposure. Frederic Fekkai ADVANCED Salon Technician Rapid Results Moisture Mask helps the hair retain the vibrancy of freshly colored hair.
Finer hair that tends to appear limp can benefit from the volumizing products offer from Frederic Fekkai. For an extra lift, Frederic Fekkai All-Day Hair Plump can be left on to provide continuous plumping and conditioning where the hair needs it most. During the day, the treatment continues to repair damage, seal the cuticle and restore condition and vitality. Frederic Fekkai All-Day Hair Plump can be used every day for cumulative results.

Market Watch: Lonely Mountain Farm Comes to the Ferry Plaza
Though it's always hard to say goodbye to summer fruits and veggies, we are excited for the return of dates and almonds, apples, pomegranates, persimmons, and early hard squash varieties every fall at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. This month we are also excited to welcome a new vendor to our Saturday lineup—Lonely Mountain Farm, hailing from the Watsonville area.
What to Get at the Farmers Market in August
It's National Farmers Market Week, and there's no time like the present to savor the late summer harvest while supporting your favorite farmers market. In August the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is brimming with heirloom tomatoes, sweet summer corn, juicy summer grape varietals and peppers in a wide range of colors and piquancy. Here's what not-to-miss this month:
Tour West Marin Farms With Flour + Water Chef Thomas McNaughton
There's no better way to learn about where your food comes from than by talking to the folks who grow it. And with that, the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market will offer an opportunity to engage with food producers on a weekly basis starting in July by inviting you straight to the source—the farm.
40 Chefs Celebrate the Start of Summer at CUESA
It's a family affair at CUESA's Fourth Annual Summer Celebration as local chefs and bartenders pay tribute to the summer bounty of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market by featuring six of our favorite culinary families: berries, cucurbits, grains and legumes, alliums, leaves and flowers, and stone fruits.
Garlic Scapes Make Their Farmers Market Debut
Like most Ferry Plaza Farmers Market regulars, I get excited to see cherries, blueberries, and early peach varieties popping up at stands in May. And while I have been known to wax poetic about the perfect apricot, it's the brief appearance of garlic scapes in late spring that really gets me weak in the knees.
Fruit or Vegetable? Sweet and Savory Uses for Rhubarb
April is the perfect time to take in the sights, smells, and tastes of spring at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. I get a lot of inspiration by checking out what the chefs are buying, so I was intrigued when I noticed Jonathan Black, Chef de Cuisine at Quince, loading up his cart this week with delicate pea shoots —blossoms still attached — and crates of rhubarb.
Market Watch: Rich and Creamy Goose Eggs Large Enough For Two
Since the first year of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in 1993, Eatwell Farm has been a favorite stop for market shoppers seeking out beautiful organic vegetables, fresh and dried lavender, strawberries and, in the summer months, heirloom tomatoes. They have also become well known for their delicious pastured chicken eggs. So when I spotted goose eggs at Eatwell's stand on Saturday, I was intrigued to hear more about how they fit into the farm's ecosystem.
Market Watch: Calçot Onions Make Their Spring Debut
After several months of braising greens, earthy roots, and winter squash, March is finally here, bringing with it the promise of new seasonal treats around every corner of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. It's my favorite month to explore the bright flavors of spring and challenge myself to find a new ingredient to add to my seasonal favorites. My pick for this week — Calçot onions (pronounced "kal-sot") — comes from farmers Marty Jacobsen and Janet Brown at Allstar Organics.
Market Watch: Looking Forward to Spring with Chef Yoni Levy
Though it's only been open for a couple of months, Alta CA, the latest addition to the Daniel Patterson Group of restaurants, seems to have hit its stride. Executive Chef Yoni Levy stopped by the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market to tell me about what he and his crew have been up to and what he is most looking forward to as spring approaches.
Market Watch: Spanish Inspired Winter Favorites with Chef Mat Schuster
On Saturday, February 22, Mat Schuster, executive chef and owner of Canela Bistro and Wine Bar, will be in the CUESA Classroom to demonstrate Spanish inspired ways to use winter produce. In addition to demonstrating three of his favorite dishes—a traditional tortilla, clams cooked in Cava, and a winter gazpacho – he'll also come armed with Spanish pantry items and talk about how to use these ingredients to compliment the seasonal flavors of the late winter market.

More Information
Three to watch for at Cucalorus Festival
Published: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 1:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 1:19 p.m.
There's less than a month before the start of the 19th Cucalorus Film Festival on Nov. 13 and the lineup is bursting with potential standouts. But which films will earn the respect of festival audiences and which will falter? Here are a few films ripe for recognition.
What: Cucalorus Film Festival
When: Nov. 13-17
Where: Various venues in downtown Wilmington
Tickets: Prices range from $10 for individual screenings to $300 for the all-inclusive Pegasorus pass
Details: 343-5995 or Cucalorus.org
'Short History of Decay'
As announced last week, the Wilmington-filmed indie will make its local debut at the festival. Its world premiere was at the Hamptons International Film Festival Oct. 12.
Former Wilmington resident Linda Lavin stars as a woman suffering from Alzheimer's. Lavin, a Tony Award winner, can also be seen weekly on NBC TV's "Sean Saves the World" as the no-nonsense mother of Sean Hayes' character.
Screens 7:15 Nov. 14 in Thalian Hall's main theater.
Short Term 12'
A festival hit starring Brie Larson, who has appeared in everything from "21 Jump Street" to NBC's "Community." Larson has been a rising star for some time and some critics are pointing to this film as her crowning achievement.
Playing the supervisor of a foster care facility for displaced teens, Larson is electric as a woman trying to hold herself together while she acts as emotional support for everyone around her. Also starring "The Newsroom's" John Gallagher Jr., the work is the feature version of a short film that appeared at Cucalorus in 2009 as part of the Works in Progress series. Needless to say, it will be a welcome homecoming for director Destin Cretton.
Screens 10:15 a.m. Nov. 15 and 7 p.m. Nov. 17 in Thalian Hall's main theater.
'Black Box'
One film to look out for at Cucalorus 19 is Stephen Cone's taut, tense "Black Box." A quiet drama about a college theater production, the film unfolds like a thriller in the amount of emotional weight it carries, but it's ultimately in the performances where the value lies.
Anchored by indie darling Josephine Decker as a grad student director (she's also in the Cucalorus film "Loves Her Gun"), the story weaves through the lives of the eight or so students acting in the play, who are motivated by lust, love and even the desire to be good actors. The students and their director cross boundaries and open up parts of themselves they never knew they had, all in the name of the production. It's a powerful film that will remain with you.
Screens 7 p.m. Nov. 14, appropriately enough, in Thalian Hall's black box studio theater.

the Independent Left
Is HVPCS Too Radical For The Democratic Party?? What About The Left?
I've been following with great interest the debate here over High Value Platinum Coin Seignoirage (HVPCS), as well as Letsgetitdone's fantastic and tireless effort to promote HVPCS as an alternative to Democratic/Republican austerity. Heck, I've even done a blog post or two over at my blog on the issue. My question is not on the legitimacy of HVPCS or the process, but in the way it is being sold and the potential audience to sell it.
It appears to me from reading LGID's essays that he seems to believe that the Democrats and/or President Obama can be pressured to accept and enact HVPCS in the event of an economic or political crisis, in spite of the principled conservative positions of the Treasury Department and Obama's own history as a Third Way corporatist Democrat. As a long time Independent Leftist who left the Dems well over 20 years ago due to their "me too" economic philosophy (among other things), I'm not so sure that approach would be so fruitful.

Other way around. BSD is a variant of AT&T Unix and Linux came later as a way to get a PD form that was very similar.
Apologize for the off topic... Unix History
Linux is not a direct derivative of any Unix. It's a Unix-like clone. Except of course for the stealing of code that happened in later years - and was never enforced because of the details of who currently owned what rights to Unix.
However, much of that has been replaced by GNU programs which I guess is the Unix variant of Linux.
This is incorrect. Those with interest can see Wikipedia for the facts.

Republicans Rep. Frank Wolf and Del. Tim Hugo were the warm-up acts before Sen. Rand Paul took center stage holding a 7-11 Big Gulp.
"I decided to stop and get a Big Gulp because I heard Nanny Bloomberg is trying to buy a governor's seat here. I figured he was also coming to take away my guns," said Rand, starting with a slam to Cuccinelli's opponent Democrat Terry McAuliffe and his ties to New York. The crowd ate it up.
Sen. Rand told the gathering that Ken Cuccinelli would be a leader who would fight against an overbearing and over zealous government.
Western Fairfax County is Cuccinelli's former home base where voters first sent him to the state senate and then helped him become Virginia's Attorney General. While some in the nearly all white crowd had NRA signs and anti-abortion stickers...many just slipped out to work to show their support and carried no signs.
Ed Linz of Springfield who came with is wife Sharon said, "We are not Tea Party people, we just simply turn the state over to the gambling industry."
Cuccinelli has seized on the failures of the Affordable Care Act. The roll out's debacle and subsequent problems are handing the conservative a significant new line of attack against McAuliffe, who supports the ACA and Medicaid Expansions.
The crowd was reminded several times that it was Cuccinelli who was the first Attorney General to sue the federal government after President Obama signed the ACA into law. "I think it took me 35 minutes," Cuccinelli said. He explained that his lawsuit had nothing to do with healthcare, but about the government forcing its people to buy something, which Cuccinelli considers an affront to liberty.
And about the new website and ACA problems Cuccinelli said more people are getting kicked off of Obamacare than are signing up. About higher premiums people are being charged Cuccinelli joked, "Oh, it's the UNAFFORDABLE Care Act," and he asked why the state would expand something that is failing.
With his opponent McAuliffe leading in the polls, Cuccinelli supporters are hoping the 10 percent who say they're going to vote libertarian... will instead chose the Republican.

Champaign, IL (Sports Network) - Ben Brust scored 20 points to lead the way as
the Wisconsin Badgers completed a season series sweep of the Illinois
Fighting Illini with a 74-68 victory in a Big Ten Conference battle at
Assembly Hall.
Frank Kaminsky added 19 points in 23 minutes off the bench for Wisconsin
(15-7, 6-3 Big Ten). Ryan Evans also got into the mix and just missed a
double-double after finishing with 15 points and nine rebounds.
Joseph Bertrand led five players in double-figures for Illinois (15-8, 2-7)
with 17 points. Nnanna Egwu contributed 14 points and seven rebounds and
Brandon Paul netted 13 points. D.J. Richardson and Tracy Abrams posted 10
points apiece as the Fighting Illini dropped their third consecutive decision.
Both sides got off to a slow start. Illinois made only 29.6 percent of its
field goal attempts, including only 1-of-4 from beyond the arc in the first
half. Brust, who came in averaging 10.3 points per game, tallied 13 points in
the first half while Wisconsin shot 35.5 percent from the floor en route to a
33-24 halftime lead.
The scoring really picked up after the break as the Fighting Illini heated up
to connect on 54.1 percent of their field goal tries. The Badgers stayed in
front for the entire frame by going 10-of-18 from the floor and 19-of-31 at
the charity stripe.
Illinois outscored the Badgers, 36-24, in the paint, but it also committed 27
foul while Wisconsin was called for just 16. The discrepancy in free throw
attempts helped the visitors hold a 28-10 edge in foul line scoring.

Some may argue that a few grams won't make a big difference over the course of a race. We would ask these people to define what kind of race they are talking about--count the number of pedal revolutions and steps in a long-distance triathlon, and that argument breaks down a bit. The Louis Garneau Tri Lite Women's Shoes weigh about 200 grams (size 38) while offering excellent ventilation, a women-specific fit, and efficient power transmission.
All triathlon shoes are different, of course, but they all must perform one critical function--keep your feet protected from painful hotspots and blisters. After all, in triathlons, there's no putting your feet up when your bike ride is over. Garneau knows this, so they outfitted the Tri Lite Shoes with the HRS-90 heel retention system to keep your foot secure in the back of the shoe. Additionally, this system incorporates one-way stretch Lycra to provide support and keep the heel from lifting.
The Tri Lite Shoes are secured by two straps. The main, decentered Power Flex strap is angled to ensure proper arch support, reduce pressure, and provide next-to-skin fit. Because time lost in transition can be a race-killer, this strap secures from the outside of your foot inward, ensuring that it won't interfere with the crankarms when you want to get on your way first, and then strap up. The smaller strap near the toes fastens to the outside of the foot per usual; it secures the forefoot and allows you to dial in the fit.
Garneau gave the Tri Lite Shoes the X-LITE carbon outsole with its multivent system. It's Garneau's lightest outsole, but it achieves that light weight without sacrificing stiffness. It's also supremely thin, to put your foot closer to the peal. This aids power transfer, too. The upper is made of synthetic leather and nylon-laminated mesh for proper temperature regulation and durability. Coolmax Ergo Air insoles also help keep your feet from overheating and increase the shoe's ventilation properties.
The pull hoop on the back of the Tri Lite Shoe is minimalistic to save weight, but it allows you to pull the shoes on quickly and easily. The heel is emblazoned with a reflector for added visibility. The Louis Garneau Tri Lite Women's Shoes are compatible with three-bolt pedal cleat designs. They come in whole sizes from 36-44. They're white.
