Forget about the draw. The big question regarding Bernard Hopkins is where does he rate among the all time greats of professional boxing?
Because of his technical and deliberate style Hopkins has both amazed some and disturbed other fans of professional boxing throughout his lengthy career. You either admire or abhor the Philadelphia prizefighter who's embarking on seldom traveled territory.
Still, one and all must realize just how difficult it is to remain among the top prizefighters in the world at age 45. Hopkins has endured punches from 1988 until the present and still rates among the very best boxers pound for pound.
In boxing's history few have been able to compete at the elite level once age 40 arrives. The list is very small. Many fighters fought past 40 but few were able to beat contenders or world champions.
Champs of Yesteryear
Sugar Ray Robinson as great as he was did not fight at Hopkins level. He was 44 when he retired and last beat a contender when he beat Ralph Dupas in 1963. At the time Robinson was 41.
The great Sam Langford began as a lightweight and was so feared he eventually fought at heavyweight and retired at age 43. Though only five-feet, six-inches in height, Langford beat numerous heavyweights including Fireman Jim Flynn. He fought former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson and lost by decision after 15 rounds. But even Langford after 256 pro fights was not beating world champions at Hopkins' age.
Speaking of Jack Johnson the great heavyweight champion fought until he was 50 years old though few realize that fact. Through his 40s he did not lose a fight until he was 48 years old. He was 19-2-1 during his 40s then inactive at age 49. After birthday number 50 Johnson returned to the ring and was knocked out twice.
And speaking of 50-year-old prizefighters Archie "The Old Mongoose" Moore won the light heavyweight world championship and never was beaten in that weight class while holding the title. From 1953 when he beat Joey Maxim for the belt until he finally retired in 1965, no light heavyweight defeated Moore for his title. He was 47 when he beat Giulio Rinaldi in Madison Square Garden for the light heavyweight title. That is the record for oldest champion in pro boxing. However, there are discrepancies. Ring Magazine says Moore was born in 1913, while Boxrec.com say it was 1916. Moore never really substantiated which birth date was correct.
Of course we also know about George Foreman actually winning a world title at 45. That's an incredible feat. Foreman's knockout win of Michael Moorer to win the title was nearly broken by Hopkins last Saturday. Though the judges took that away from him history will record Hopkins performance as one of the truly marvelous moments in boxing along with Moore, Langford and Johnson.
Robert "Manos de Piedra" Duran fought deep into his 40s and managed to hold his own against younger competition that included Vinnie Pazienza, Hector Camacho and Jorge Castro. The Panamanian great was 50 the last time he stepped in the ring and lost a 12-round decision to Camacho in 2001 for the NBA vacant supper middleweight title. After that fight he was severely injured in a car accident and retired. By the way, Camacho is still fighting too. He's 48.
Hopkins is treading on seldom traveled territory. Only a scant few have ever been able to fight champions and contenders and maintain a high level of proficiency. It's truly remarkable and we should enjoy each time he enters the prize ring. We're watching an amazing fighter whose success may not be repeated in a long time.
The Philadelphia boxer may be fighting in his last year. Let's see what he can do at age 46?
First, my deepest condolences to the family and love ones of "Bad" Benny B. B-Hop is another 40-something year-old fighting SUPERGREAT. And we've known his true age from the JUMP. The greatest 40-something-year-old boxer ever is indeed the, late great "Archie "The ole Mongoose" Moore. The greatest 50-something-year-old boxer ever is first African-American world heavyweight champ is Jack Johnson. Old John Johnson -- JJ's legal name -- fought in sanctioned bouts up until he was 54 years old. Matter of fact, he was banned from professional sanctioning bouts at that age for allegedly making "Voodoo signs" over a falling contender that he put da whup-arse on. From that point on, to enjoy the type of living that he was accustomed to, according to various proof and eye-witnesses' testimony, he had to fight in unsanctioned, illegal bouts in the underworld of boxing. He did this up to 68-years old on the very day that he perished in a carwreck. To this day, Johnson is still the oldest ex-champ to win a bout -- legal at a recorded 54 years old and and illegal at 68 years old, according to eye-witnesses. B-Hop is still fresh, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him find out about what I had posted about JJ's record and try to break it when he's 55 years old. At 60-something years old ex-lightwelterweight champ Saoul Mamby gave it a try a couple of years ago. Holla!

A winter for the record books. Yeah, us! If it's going to be ridiculously cold then I think we SHOULD break records. It makes it all worth it, right? Okay, maybe not.
As I tooled around the neighborhood it was obvious that my house wasn't the only one with plenty of ice dripping off the roof, creating dams and nasty issues for our more delicate shrubs. Luckily the warm temperatures have melted a lot of that ice. My plan was to warn you not to knock ice off of your shrubs and trees, the branches can be brittle and knocking off the ice could further damage your plants. I have pictures of my own issues on GardenBite. Pre-melting.
I didn't have any damage but some of you may have. You'll need to prune out any broken branches. Don't be afraid, you can prune out dead or diseased branches at any time. Check my website for more pruning specifics. On spring flowering shrubs in particular, prune ONLY dead or diseased branches.
With the melt, you may discover perennials with mushy leaves, get rid of that stuff. Hostas and heucheras can have some slimy foliage that might possibly harbor disease. So can other herbaceous plants. I'm taking note of my Creeping Jenny. If you have woody perennials, you can also trim out broken twigs.
We have a branch over the garage that broke off a couple of years ago. It really needs to come down but it's not something I want to do personally. Any job that makes you think twice about climbing a ladder to do, give another think or three and call an expert. No point in getting hurt or damaging your buildings!
In regard to your lawn, if you have areas of standing water, grass can withstand it for several days and if the water is cold, less than 60 degrees, as it usually is in early spring, lawn grasses can withstand being submerged for even longer periods of time. Moving water is usually less harmful to lawn grasses than is ponded, stagnant water. Spring flooded lawn areas where the water has risen and then receded rapidly often escape serious permanent injury and death.

If Shumpert had Houston's jump shot he would be a top 10 player in the league.
Well Houston isn't teaching him defense hahah. I watched the all access video from last week on Knicksnow.com and you see in a couple of the clips in the background them working together on Shumps jump shot and off the dribble shot.
"Iman Shumpert's jumpshot. Before the Bucks game Monday night, Shumpert was working with former Knick and current assistant general manager Allan Houston on shooting off screens. After the rookie missed a few in a row, Houston came up to him and said, "Sometimes your shot is too flat. More arc."
Read more: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Also listen to an interview where shump talks about working with Houston
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Sounds like something they will do as a routine for here on out. Houston can atleast do that for us after we've been paying off his contract up until last year.
If Shumpert had Houston's jump shot he would be a top 10 player in the league.
And if the Queen had balls she would be the King,,,,,,,,,,,
And If Dantonio shaved his mustache he would not be Mr Pringles...
If Woodson had piercings and a Diamond chain he would be Surg Knight
Why is he not working with Landry Fields and his cringe worthy jumper
I hope Houston continues to work with the team on shooting. Houston could still suit-up and still contribute!

no wonder why shumpert is making more 3s
Forget shumpert houston needs to work with landry fields on his jumper it's by far worse than Shumps Jumper
On the side note, it's only a matter of time before Shump becomes a very efficient player.
His versatility is great, it's more than just his defense. He can rebound, penetrate, provides tons of energy on both ends and is starting to improve his jump shot.
Fields is starting to look like a Honda Civic compared to Shump who might turn into a Lamborghini.

Digestive Conditions
Do you have digestive disorders? Read the signs and symptoms here.
Halting Heartburn
Heartburn hurts. It can make your chest feel like it's on fire as your stomach heaves and churns. Even the word heartburn conjures up visions of burning pain inside a smoldering torso. But contrary to its descriptive name, heartburn has little to do with the heart, and everything to do with the digestive system. That sour, metallic taste that appears in your mouth right after eating indicates indigestion produced by stomach acid flowing in the wrong direction.
Because heartburn leaves you with the taste of gastric acid in your mouth, and even a small amount of this digestive fluid in the esophagus can cause discomfort, it's a common misconception that heartburn is caused by too much stomach acid. Medical treatment relies on the use of acid-lowering drugs and antacids to neutralize the problem. These treatments are generally designed for temporary symptomatic relief, for although the feeling of heartburn is not present when taking these drugs, the stomach contents still wash into the esophagus and can cause problems, even if the individual cannot feel it.
Despite the popularity of antacids and other over-the-counter aids designed to limit stomach acid, experts believe that the majority of digestive problems linked to heartburn actually stem from too little of one type of acid in the stomach: hydrochloric acid. As a result, many suggest taking betaine hydrochloric acid supplements to help prevent heartburn.
Heartburn Society
In surveys conducted by the American Gastroenterological Association, findings show that ten percent of the American population (about 30 million people) experience heartburn weekly, and as many as 60 million Americans may experience heartburn at least once a month. That represents a massive epidemic of discomfort.
While almost anyone can experience a degree of heartburn after a large, heavy meal, there are some conditions that may increase your risk. Pregnant women, people with diabetes or hiatal hernia, and the elderly typically experience higher rates of heartburn. So do smokers, heavy drinkers and people who are overweight. All of those conditions and habits can interfere with the movement of food through the stomach.
Heartburn also takes a toll on the nation's finances, resulting in lost work hours and increased medical expenses. According to the Heartburn Alliance, one-third of sufferers report that heartburn prevents them from doing the things they enjoy doing, such as hobbies, work, social activities and spending quality time with their families. The burning pain of heartburn also interrupts sleep and interferes with daily activities and job performance.
That Old Familiar Feeling
The signs of heartburn are easy to spot: Acid rises in the throat as caustic fluid backs up into the esophagus. This sets off a fiery sensation that radiates upward and frequently swells into the chest, causing symptoms that may appear to be related to the cardiovascular system rather than the digestive system. While occasional bouts of heartburn aren't considered intrinsically serious, prolonged frequent heartburn may lead to a chronic disorder called gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD), more commonly known as acid reflux.
Other effects of heartburn include nausea, upper abdominal pain (especially after meals), gas and belching, abdominal bloating, and a feeling of extreme fullness after eating, as though food is stuck in the stomach and not moving. Heartburn is also associated with wheezing, asthma symptoms and noisy breathing. This happens when the delicate tissues of the windpipe are damaged by exposure to stomach acid. In the case of persistent heartburn, a knowledgeable health practitioner should diagnose the problem to rule out other factors.
The Origins of Heartburn
The stomach is a remarkable, self-contained organ. Its lining is designed to withstand acidic conditions that would tear apart other sections of the body, and cells in the stomach act as tiny acid pumps, releasing hydrochloric acid necessary for the breakdown of food in the upper digestive tract.
Normally, a valve at the top of the stomach called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) opens to receive food from the esophagus and closes once the food enters the stomach. The interior of the stomach is covered with a protective coating of mucus that keeps hydrochloric acid from eating holes through the stomach walls. However, the delicate esophagus doesn't possess this insulation, so when hydrochloric acid backs out of the stomach across the sensitive esophageal membranes, it causes a painful sensation.
The American Academy of Family Physicians notes that several lifestyle factors contribute to heartburn, including bending over, lifting, straining or squatting after a heavy meal. Lying down after meals and eating right before bedtime may also lead to heartburn, as can tight, restrictive clothing that puts pressure on the stomach and digestive tract.
In addition to acidic foods such as tomatoes and citrus, indulging in chocolate, spicy foods, coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages, fatty and fried foods, processed foods high in refined sugars, and carbonated beverages may also ignite the spark of heartburn. Raw onions, garlic, black pepper and vinegar (or vinegar-based foods such as pickles or chutneys) can be problematic as well.
Slow Down – You Chew Too Fast
How and when you eat may also contribute to heartburn. Eating in a hurry without taking time to adequately chew and enjoy food disrupts digestion. So does eating under stress or when you are upset. When you're emotionally distraught, the stomach becomes distended and food is forced to stay at the top of the stomach where it can pressure the valve to open. This can cause partially digested food, stomach acid, enzymes and food-borne bacteria to rise up the esophagus, which can cause damage to the throat and windpipe. Certain medications also contribute to heartburn and GERD. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen relax the LES, which allows heartburn to rise. NSAIDs, along with some antibiotics, heart medications and minerals, can also irritate the stomach lining and disrupt gastric juices. Swallowing too much air during a meal may also contribute to heartburn. A case study conducted by the University of Genoa found that air in the stomach can create persistent heartburn that often does not respond to normal therapies. (Dig Liv Dis. 2005 Jun;37(6):454-7) Not drinking enough water also adds to heartburn woes.
Hydrochloric Acid: So Misunderstood
While the backflow of hydrochloric acid often gets the blame for the fiery pain associated with heartburn and GERD, researchers now know that simply reducing the amount of acid in the stomach may be the wrong way to treat heartburn. As a matter of fact, too little hydrochloric acid is often to blame for heartburn.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) serves two primary functions in the stomach. It creates an acidic environment designed to start the breakdown of nutrients, and it helps protect the digestive tract from infection, as few microorganisms make it through the acid alive. Mixed with food as it leaves the stomach, HCl keeps the bacteria residing in the colon from progressing back into the small intestine where they can cause problems.
Acid Underproduction
When stomach acid levels are low, undigested food becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. A 2005 study conducted by the University of Michigan found that too little stomach acid causes chronic inflammation. (Oncogene 2005 Mar 31;24(14):2354-2366) In the study, researchers found a relationship between chronic inflammation and chronic disease, especially in association with low levels of gastrin—a hormone that stimulates the stomach lining to produce HCl.
Scientists also found that the overproduction of HCl, which is the stomach's primary response to bacterial colonization, offers protection against infection, and that inflammation was the main trigger for stomach acid. (Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2002; 282:G175-G183) "Inflammation of the stomach lining … triggers parietal cells in the stomach lining to produce more hydrochloric acid, which kills off most invading microbes. If you inhibit gastric acid production, you interfere with the stomach's natural defense mechanism," says researcher Juanita L. Merchant, MD of the Michigan Medical School.
Many health problems may also be linked to low stomach acid, including chronic hives, fatigue, eczema, anemia, cracked fingernails, unhealthy looking skin and hair, depression and bad breath due to inefficient digestion.
Lack of Acid
Lack of stomach acid is a more common problem than many people realize. Some experts estimate that one of every three people over the age of 60 have virtually no stomach acid at all. (Jrnl AM Ger Soc, 1986;34:800) Research indicates that older women are particularly susceptible to a lack of stomach acid, with one study finding that 40 percent of postmenopausal women had little or no stomach acid. (Gastroenterology, 1963; 45:15)
In addition to being linked to heartburn, low stomach acid interferes with digestion in several serious ways: High acidity is needed to help absorb minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium. It is also necessary for the efficient assimilation of vitamin C, beta carotene and B vitamins. So, even if you think you are eating a nutritious diet and taking valuable dietary supplements, without enough stomach acid many of those crucial nutrients may be passing right through your body.
Stomach acid also enables the enzyme pepsin to begin the breakdown of proteins into amino acids, which the body will use to manufacture new tissues. It stimulates the pancreatic production of enzymes necessary for digesting carbohydrates, fats and proteins; makes minerals more soluble; aids digestion by stimulating intestinal bacteria; and supplies acidity to the small intestine, where it helps control the growth of unwanted bacteria.
Stress and Heartburn
The consumption and digestion of food should be a pleasurable experience. Food is meant to be enjoyed and savored, and the digestive system responds to careful eating. The best digestion occurs when you dine slowly and focus on chewing your food adequately. Paradoxically, the more you rush through a meal, the slower and more problematic the digestive process becomes.
Unfortunately, everyday stress has invaded our meals, resulting in too few people taking the time to relax and enjoy their food. Instead, we often grab quick bites throughout the day, whizzing in and out of fast-food drive-through restaurants, ingesting half-chewed food while carelessly swallowing air and big gulps of bubbly soft drinks. Add in the tension of weaving through traffic, one hand on the steering wheel with the other on the bun, and acid reflux seems inevitable.
Research confirms that stress leads to heartburn; the higher your stress level, the greater your chances of heartburn. (Scand J Gastroenterol 1995; 30: 1–5) If you are anxious or tense, your esophagus becomes more sensitive to acid reflux. This is one reason why digestive issues are more pronounced when you're nervous and upset. When researchers in California looked at heartburn symptoms among 60 middleaged people, they found that those who were the most anxious and depressed suffered the most heartburn. (Psychosomatic Medicine 66:426-434; 2004) Research also showed that sustained stress can slow stomach function and allow accumulated stomach acid to back up into the esophagus. In contrast, learning to relax more and defuse stress with activities such as meditation and exercise may significantly decrease heartburn, as will sitting down and thoroughly chewing food during meals.
For those who endure stubborn heartburn, each meal can be an ordeal, but for many heartburn sufferers, prevention is simple: Add a little betaine hydrochloric acid into your daily diet, commit to a more relaxed eating routine, and better digestion is soon to follow.

At the Super Bowl on Sunday, Bruno Mars was the star. The annual Pepsi Super Bowl halftime Show got rolling with the 28-year-old singer getting behind the drums for a solo performance.
On Sunday, Feb 2, 2014, the show went on with the singer belting out his hits such as Locked Out Of Heaven, Treasure and Runaway Baby, prompting none other than the Red Hot Chili Peppers band to hop on to the stage and give Bruno company.
Mars was on stage dressed as usual in a gold jacket. The performance was the highlight of the day, and he also went on to dedicate his songs to military personnel, and he made sure that his performance for them also starred a video clip that featured tributes.
The crowd was in an ecstatic mood, with Mars giving them what they wanted. The energetic performance made sure that the audience danced along with him.
Yahoo News described the performance and wrote, "Mars, 28, took his high-powered live show to Super Bowl halftime, creating what felt like an intimate show in the arena and supersizing it in what has become a defining moment for those who preceded him on the list of halftime performers in the big game.
"The Grammy Award-winning singer eliminated any doubters from the second he appeared on screen in a skinny tie and gold jacket almost as dazzling as his smile.
"He played a deep-groove drum solo while rolling across the field on a raised, motorized platform, then joined his smoking hot live band for a series of energetically executed hits that were clearly not lip-synced. He then seamlessly integrated the Red Hot Chili Peppers set."

Smooth Stargazer, Kathetostoma averruncus: The Smooth Stargazer is the one of seven global members of the Kathetostoma Genus, and the only one found in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. They have short, thick bodies that taper to the rear with large square heads with large eyes on top and large vertical mouths.
A key to identification is a pair of large venomous spines at the upper edge of the operculum (clearly visible in both photos below). The dorsal fin is without spines and the skin is without scales.
The Smooth Stargazer has a greenish-brown color above and is paler below with white dots on the head, eye-sized white spots and blotches on the body, dorsal fin, pectoral fins and tail and the anal, caudal and dorsal fins have white borders.
They reach a length of 12.5 inches and are normally found on the bottom half-submerged in sandy beach areas from 50 feet to 1,800 feet of the water column.
The Smooth Stargazer might be confused with the Pacific Stargazer, Astroscopus zephyreus (small eyes, no large white spots).
In Mexico, the Smooth Stargazer is found along the West Coast of the Baja, in the lower third of the Sea of Cortez, and along the coast of the mainland south to Guatemala.
Caution! The Smooth Stargazer has a pair of large poisonous spines and therefore should be handled with extreme caution.
The Smooth Stargazer is a member of the Uranoscopidae Family which are the stargazers and known in Mexico as miraestrellas. Stargazers are seldom seen by humans as they are "lie-in-wait" predators spending the majority of their time buried in sand with only the eyes, snout and mouths exposed, attacking small fish and invertebrates that come within range. Globally, there are fifty different known stargazers in eight genera.

Wes Welker suspended? It looks like the Denver Broncos star receiver may not be around for the first quarter of the 2014 season, which may hurt the Broncos offense. According to a Sportsline report on Sept. 2, Welker has been suspended for the first four games of the 2014 season for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora has confirmed.
This could be a big blow to the high-flying Denver offense that has four tough opponents right out of the gate. Denver will face Indianapolis, Kansas City, Seattle and Arizona to open the first month of play, four teams that all could (and should) be playoff bound this season.
According to the Denver Post, a source close to the team said Tuesday that although Welker will be suspended, he may be able to suit up for Week 1 vs. the Colts.
"Because the league had not yet notified the team of any discipline involving Welker they are proceeding with the expectation Welker will be available for the season opener Sunday night against Indianapolis."
As if losing Welker isn't going to be bad enough, the Broncos will also be without kicker their Pro-Bowl place-kicker Matt Prater, who will be serving a suspension on an alcohol-related violation. Usually losing a kicker isn't a huge deal, but Prater is one of the best kickers in the NFL.
Denver's firt game is this Sunday, Sept. 7 vs. Indianapolis at 8:30 p.m. ET

Sunday morning we received word from our 15-year-old daughter that we had been anxiously waiting for — after Mackenzie called to tell us her plane had safely landed from Peru, she texted an hour or so later to let us know that the school bus was a few minutes away from pick up.
That's all the news we needed to hear. In less than a minute, we were on our way to greet our daughter just as the bus was pulling into the school's driveway.
When she stepped off the bus, I couldn't help but wonder whether she had grown in the span of a week or so. Mackenzie actually looked taller, I told her, even in sneakers. My hugs felt a little strange as I put my arms around her and felt as though I had to look up to see her. How could that be?
Once Mackenzie got home, she ran up the steps to give kisses to her favorite pets that were waiting to see her. Then, she settled in to her room and did some unpacking. She spread out the treasures she purchased at colorful markets and invited me to see each one — from the hand woven alpaca scarf to the shaman necklace and music CD, to the dozens of other trinkets she picked up for friends, family, and herself.
As Mackenzie got used to the comforts of home, she started to detail each day and shared fabulous photos of her self-described "best trip of my life." She talked about how she connected with new cultures, languages, and the beautiful people she met. She also spoke of the beauty of the Incan capital of Cusco, the high altitude in the majestic Andes Mountains, the ancient wonder of Machu Picchu, and the wonderful view from her hotel room.
When she was done, it all became a bit clearer to me. Mackenzie, you have grown. Welcome home, my love!

Higher education's ability to prepare students to compete in the 21st century workplace faces increasing scrutiny. Existing and ingrained structures of higher education, particularly in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, are not set up to provide the skill development in three key areas necessary for student success in the knowledge economy: communication, teamwork and divergent thinking, a new book published by Purdue University Press suggests. Addressing this issue by formulating solutions within diverse academic settings is the focus of "Transforming Institutions: Undergraduate STEM Education for the 21st Century." Edited by Gabriela C. Weaver, Wilella D. Burgess, Amy L. Childress and Linda Slakey, the book brings together chapters from the scholars and leaders who were part of the 2011 and 2014 conferences led by the Discovery Learning Research Center in Purdue's Discovery Park.Read Full Story

Solving Problems That Do Not Exist
When it comes to ignorant disillusionedness only fat ugly bitches can match the hubris of bloggers.
I used to work with a misinformed, mangled-faced manatee. One day she lost her keys and everyone in the office was halfheartedly looking for them. Honestly, we were all pretty sure that they went down her gullet when she was scarfing up one of her lunches that day. Somehow though, despite lack of effort and not caring, I found them. And started cracking up, to the point of tears.
On her key-chain was pepper spray, a rape whistle and a sexual assault hot-line trinket. Talk about wishful thinking. That's like not owning a car but walking around with a gas can so you won't run out of gas. Or the Amish worrying about Y2K. She was prepared for a problem that would never exist for her.
That fat bitch's key-chain is exactly what I think about every time I see a shitty copyright notice on a shitty blog.
Oh fuck, somebody's going to steal my rant about why I hate school and make a ton of money off of it. I better put a copyright notice on my blog. Don't want someone trying to plagiarize my dissertation about all the logical inconsistencies between the new Star Wars Trilogy and the old Star Wars Triology. I need to get a legal notice up on my blog A.S.A.P.
You dumb fucks are too cute.
Here's just a quick list of blogs with absolutely no inherent worth, but delusions of grandeur anyhow:
Don't even think about stealing excerpts of her post of how Paypal fucked her.
I swear to god, if you reuse her images of her makeup kit for commercial purposes…well, it won't be pretty.
The blue haireds will put you in a world of hurt if you copy and paste any material from this site.
May god have mercy on your soul if you republish the story of Carmi's breast tumor and/or mastectomy, because god's lawyers sure the fuck won't.
Almost as good as the idea that anyone would want to steal the turds they are plopping on the internet is these fucks misunderstanding of copyright. I'm fairly certain they didn't run their copyright notices by any lawyer that ever even took the bar exam, must less passed it.
The most disappointing thing is there's absolutely nothing of value to steal on their blogs. I looked and I looked, I wanted to find an image, a paragraph, something I could post it on this blog. Then I was going to email them and dare them to sue me. But there was nothing, absolutely nothing of any value to steal.
That's ok, I have a backup plan. I heard from an old co-worker that the fat bitch still works at that same place. I think I'll swing by next week and rape her on her lunch break.
No one gives a fourth of a cum covered turd what you think, but please don't let that stop you from spreading your insightful wit to the world by commenting below. Or fuck, you're such a pussy-eating faggot you're probably interested in the rss feed of this shitty site. Oy vey.

Payday loans are the types of loans that basically work like cash advances. These also are 24/7 installment loans that could amount from $200 to $1000. In general, these types of personal loans are due for payment on the next payday of the borrower, which is usually in two weeks. Ideally, these instant guaranteed loans are meant for short-term use only. The problem, however, is that borrowers tend to be too dependent on them and this causes borrowers to fall into deeper financial problems considering how expensive such loans can be.
If you find yourself on a very tight budget and you have actually explored all the other options to have money, you have no other choice but to turn to direct payday companies. In this case, here are the things you need to prepare.
Those applying for loans are required to present documents for identification. Among the acceptable documents are driver's license, any government issued photo IDs, official passports and green cards. Should you have any questions with regards to the identification requirements asked for by legitimate personal loan companies, you can simply inquire by giving them a call or even visiting the payday loan company office.
Another very important requirement when applying for 24 hour installment loans is proof of employment. There are some legitimate payday lenders that have a required minimum salary for a borrower to be approved for a loan. In case the guaranteed loan applicant is unemployed, it is still possible for lending companies to accept and approve instant loan applications provided that the unemployed applicant is a recipient of Social Security checks or perhaps has other sources of regular income.
Checking Account
An active checking account is also a requirement for applicants. This is because borrowers need to give the direct lenders a signed check with the loan amount, including the finance fee. This check should be issued before the loaned amount can be released. The other option of a borrower is to write and sign an authorization letter allowing the legitimate lending company to take loan amount from his/her checking account and the interest when the loan is due.
Loan Disclosures
The law on various payday or cash advance loans states that borrowers must be very familiar with the Truth in Lending forms that legitimate lending companies must provide for any transactions for 24/7 installment loans. Lenders should also give loan applicants enough time to take a look at and totally understand the said information.
In several states, lenders offering 24 hour installment loans may have additional requirements or prerequisites. For instance, some personal loan lenders do not accommodate applications from borrowers with any outstanding instant cash loans. There are instances also where the lending agency requires that a specific period of time should pass since the borrower settled another loan before he or she can submit an application for another loan. Note that lending institutions may have various requirements according to the state laws on payday loans.

High West Distillery announced Thursday it would be moving its main Salt Lake City distillery, creating a new partnership with Blue Sky Ranch in Wanship. The popular whiskey producer High West will build a new distillery, warehouse and restaurant on the ranch property.
With hopes to create a world-class whiskey distillery, Mike Phillips, owner of Blue Sky Ranch, and David Perkins, owner of High West, both said that the facilities will be like something visitors in Napa Valley might expect, that the distillery will be a draw for whiskey lovers.
"We've wanted to do something for two years now," Perkins said. "We saw it coming, that we would need to move."
High West started in Park City in 2007 as a small whiskey label, but has since gone on to win international competitions for its liquors.
"The new distillery will allow us the room we need, but it will also let us create the ultimate Utah visitor experience," he added. "We'll have as beautiful a distillery as anything in Kentucky or Scotland or the wineries in Napa Valley. We want to be a world-class whiskey distillery on the world stage."
The planned distillery is roughly 25,000 square feet, a massive increase from the current 5,000 square foot space in Salt Lake City. Perkins said the new space will allow High West to create, age and ship from a single location.
Blue Sky Ranch, which currently offers recreational guide services, covers 3,300 acres and has a Lookout Point with views of Rockport Reservoir and the Uinta Mountains.
"We felt the cabins were more appropriate for our clients," Phillips said. "It is less hotel, and more of a ranch experience."
And that is why Phillips thought High West would be a smart partnership, adding to the rustic feel he was aiming for.
Before Perkins and Phillips decided to partner, they researched, starting with tours in Napa and Scotland to see what was possible for the ranch and what amenities would need to be included. In Soctland alone, the two visited 14 distilleries, testing 54 scotch varieties in three days.
"We were like, 'Let's look at these international destinations and see what they do,'" Phillips said. "We studied the architecture, the guest services. We looked at the experience to see if it was something we could duplicate here."
The High West distillery will include a new restaurant, the Whiskey Kitchen, which will feature foods to pair with High West products.
Phillips said the project is currently in the bidding phase, and he expected that distillery construction would begin in the next six to eight weeks. The distillery and lodging property, which will have 60 rooms in both lodge and cabin accommodations, are scheduled to be completed in Fall 2013.

Drag show slammed: 'It's notOK to say tranny'
- 141
Mon 24th Sep, 2012 in Features
A new comedy set for Sydney Opera House is under fire from transpeople who view the word "tranny" as just as offensive as "faggot" or the n-word.
Starring popular drag queen singer Trevor Ashley, trAnnie will be an adults-only take on the adventures of ginger kid Annie. In the show, set to take to the stage this December, a ginger-haired orphan boy seeks gender reassignment surgery.
But its title is an increasingly controversial derogatory term used to describe transgender people – and several have contacted Same Same with concerns about the dehumanising and hurtful way the word "tranny" is used to describe them.
Many feel that it is not OK for anyone who isn't a transgender woman to use the word, and they're also concerned about the gender reassignment plot of the show – trivialising the deeply personal journeys of real-life transpeople.
"It is so painful to see members of the GLBT community ridiculing the most marginalised and discriminated against part of our supposed rainbow family," says one of several trans and cis-gendered readers who contacted us after we revealed details about the show last week.
"It's not OK for a gay drag queen to mock the lived experience of a community he is not part of."
"Trans people are not drag queens," he points out. "Yes there is some shared history in the Sydney gay scene and some gay men may feel a sense of connection to trans women in particular, but the truth is that it's not OK for a gay drag queen to mock the lived experience of a community he is not part of.
"The reality is that surgeries for trans people are often out of reach. The reality is that trans people all around the world are beaten, harassed and murdered every day. The reality is that trans people are excluded from anti-discrimination laws and forgotten in the 'gay marriage' frenzy," he adds.
"All of this is my personal opinion and I would never speak for the entire trans community. I know some who feel the way I do and some who couldn't care less what Trevor Ashley does. I share my words with you because I am committed to being a queer trans guy who positively speaks up for what I believe in and when I read the synopsis for TrAnnie I felt such anguish I couldn't stand by."
Chai Edi Palila has similar concerns about the show. Writing on the Wipe Out Transphobia website, she suspects the production "will rely on the same, usual and un-original cheap jokes and mocks made about trans women and our bodies, the so-called 'humour' of men in women's cloths, usage of the offensive term 'trannie', focus on what genitals trans women have and why trans women aren't 'really women' until we have a 'sex change', 'his/her' puns, making puns on popular lyrics to add further injury, like 'your son will come out tomorrow', and usage of incorrect pronouns that many girls like us have begun to expect when we see our lives talked about in the media or trivialised for comedic purposes.
"For many of these reasons above, the show is also highly exploitative of trans women, as we are such a dis-empowered group that is usually shunned when we speak out when the above is done to us."
Sorry… but the show will go on
In response to the controversy, the show's creator Trevor Ashley and the Sydney Opera House have released a statement, beginning with an apology.
"Sydney Opera House and Trevor Ashley wish to apologise to those offended by the title of the play 'trAnnie'," it says.
"The title 'trAnnie' is a play on words. It is a play on the musical Annie and combines the letters of Trevor's name into the title. It is also a play on the fact that the central character is transsexual."
Ashley himself adds: "Although I appreciate that the word may brush some transgendered people up the wrong way, the intent is not to harm, but take the sting out of what I'm sure could be a painful word for some.
"Being a part of the GLBTQI community for many years, we are people who can reclaim words that have been used in harmful ways towards us in the past."
He explains that the production, while being a comedy, shows the transgender character in a positive light and hopes to encourage more understanding of the transgender community.
The troublesome 'T' word is becoming increasingly controversial as more transgender Australians voice their concern when it is used. Despite this, there is still some work to do if seeking to remove it in the context of gay male drag entertainment.
At least two Sydney bars promote 'Tranny Bingo' nights each week… posters for one of them are shown below.

Andrea Dovizioso underwent successful surgery yesterday at the Cervesi Hospital at Cattolica to remove the titanium plate that was inserted in his right collarbone following a motocross training accident last January.
The Ducati rider was operated on the same Dr. Giuseppe Porcellini who did the first surgery, and today Dovizioso was released from the hospital and was able to return home.
Before going under the knife, Dovizioso also underwent an MRI scan to discover the reasons behind the neck issues that he has been suffering from since the Sepang round, that he partially solved with physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory medicines, but the problem returned with a vengeance at the start of the three-day Ducati test at Jerez last week and he was unable to ride, but was able to compete and win the Sic Supermoto Day charity event this past weekend.
According to Dovizioso's official Facebook page, the scan did not reveal any particular problems, except for a slight degeneration of a couple of intervertebral discs, which was deemed compatible with his profession as a motorcycle racer and that a slight muscle imbalance caused by the presence of the plate may have induced inflammation resulting in the neck pain.
Dovizioso will rest for a few days before starting rehabilitation and postural re-education and he should be fully fit for the first official MotoGP test at Sepang next Feburary.

5 Things You Didn't Know: Condoms
Here Are Some Curious Condom Facts
Unfortunately, the condom suffers from at least one massive PR problem: namely, that the condom always looks like a great idea after the fact. However, before and during the act when it matters the most, not so much.
In an effort to give their profile a boost, we took a look at five things you didn't know about condoms.
1- Condoms have appeared in cave paintingsIn Johnny Come Lately: A Short History of the Condom, author Jeannette Parisot claims the appearance of condoms in cave paintings are estimated to be 15,000 years old. Although Parisot notes that the condom is being used during sexual intercourse, that doesn't signify the condition for which the man was wearing the condom. This is another matter altogether, since the man in the cave painting could have been brandishing the condom for one of three reasons: some sort of ritual, as a form of birth control or as protection against an STD.
All three are reasonable possibilities. There is no cause to think that the clever minds behind cave paintings hadn't also discovered some connection between the sexual act and one of any number of outcomes, including pregnancy or a stretch of days featuring extremely painful urination.
2- Condoms used to be available only by prescriptionCondoms have come a long way toward both general acceptance and availability. An 1824 text, described as state-of-the-art, offers a condom-making recipe with no fewer than a dozen extremely time-consuming steps involved in making condoms from sheep's "intestina caeca." With so much time required, it is little surprise that early condoms were considered reusable.
In the U.S., there was a time that condoms were available only by prescription, but doctors held up a double standard — they would prescribe them to men so that husbands could protect themselves against getting STDs from prostitutes, but they wouldn't prescribe them to women so they could prevent themselves from getting pregnant or for any other reason.
3- The oldest rubber condoms date back to 1855 Discovered during excavations of Dudley Castle in West Midlands, England, these condom fragments were made from the guts of animals and it is believed they were distributed to slow the spread of venereal diseases (now known as STDs) during the English Civil Wars.
Distributing rubber condoms to soldiers to slow or prevent STDs has not always been common practice. In the U.S., during World War I, condoms were discouraged by the American Social Hygiene Association, which felt that if you were foolish enough to have sex, you deserved the STD you got. One of the chief proponents was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy at the time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. No surprise that many of those vets brought STDs home.
We've got a few more things you didn't know about condoms...

NEW YORK -- New York City's Department of Education is accused in a lawsuit of ignoring state law and allowing classroom sizes to grow. The state Supreme Court suit was filed Tuesday by the city teachers' union and other groups. In 2006, the state's highest court ruled the state wasn't ensuring New York City students were getting the opportunity for a sound basic education. Since then, the state has given the city $1.5 billion. Of that, $750 million was earmarked for class-size reductions. The suit says class sizes have increased despite the money and a decline in student enrollment citywide. City education officials dispute the allegations. At the same time, they say that state and city budget cuts have impeded efforts to reduce class size.

|Cirstea, Akbar on to Nationals
The Idaho men's tennis team is sending a doubles pairing to the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships for the second year in a row. But in 2012, coach Jeff Beaman and seniors Marius Cirstea and Abid Akbar expected to get there, and aren't satisfied with just being one of 20 doubles pairings in the country to advance to the National Championships at the Billy Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y.
"Last year I knew we had potential, but it was a bit of a shock to make it," Beaman admitted, as Cirstea teamed up with Andrew Dobbs to win the Mountain Regional doubles draw in 2011. "We had a great run with two guys who really clicked on court with their personalities, with their effort. This year it was a set goal. Our goal this year was having Abid and Marius playing together and winning the regional, going to nationals having one of the top doubles teams."
The 20-team doubles draw includes the regional champions from each of the 12 ITA regions, the two ITA All-American finalists, the ITA All-American consolation champion, ITA Small College Champion, one host wild card, one USTA wild card and two at-large pairings. The tournament runs Nov. 8-11. 2011 marked the first time Idaho was represented at the National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships.
"After the experience last year we not only know the level but we know what we need to do in terms of how to play," Beaman said. "It's great to make it and it's great to make it back a second time. Now (the goal is) to go there and really show that we are nationally competitive with the top programs in the country."
After being there once before, Cirstea knows the demands of the National Championship tournament, and likes the potential he and Akbar have heading in.
"I know how I play doubles," Cirstea said. "I don't know how good I am in singles but in doubles I know I can hit really hard, I can put pressure on opponents. This year I have Abid next to me who also serves very well, he is active at the net, he is tall so he can cover a lot of court. I kind of knew that if he trusts me a little bit, we can beat anybody in this region. I personally know how it is there, what type of players we're going to play and how good they are. We are better than them and we can actually compete."
Despite heading to the National Championships for the first time, Akbar is confident going in and likes the style he and Cirstea play.
"Jeff has worked with me a lot at the net in getting quicker," Akbar said. "I'm more confident now than I was before. If I can put some decent serves in, Marius has enough in him to take care of the rest. It gives him easy opportunities to put some balls away. We're a good team because both of us have good serves. If you get good serves in and your partner at the net takes care of the rest that really helps us."
While nobody within the program is surprised the duo won the Mountain Regional to earn a berth in the Indoor Intercollegiate National Championships, Cirstea and Akbar were nearly eliminated in the semifinals before mounting a comeback against a pairing from New Mexico.
"I had confidence that we had a shot," Beaman said of his expectations of Cirstea and Akbar heading into the regional. "When you're playing at that level it depends. We were very close to losing to UNM, and we were down against other teams. When you're playing at that level you've got to have everything working, you've got to be healthy. I was confident that we were going to compete but definitely wasn't sure we were going to win."
Cirstea added: "Against UNM we came back from down 7-4, we were just one game away from losing in the quarterfinals. That shows that we are willing to go the extra mile to win the match, and hopefully we'll do it again in nationals."
After losing their first match in the opening round and in the consolation last year, the Idaho duo has some unfinished business at the National Championships in 2012. Beaman thinks the aggressive, fast-paced style the pairing brings will be tough on their competitors.
"They both are serving extremely well," Beaman said. "When these guys are serving at basically a professional level, it's hard to break serve. Both guys are serving at over 120 miles per hour. They're both active, they're both confident and they both hit the ball extremely hard. That's rare to get. It's like baseball, when you're throwing it 103 miles per hour it's hard to hit. We have two guys that are bringing it as hard as anyone in the country."
The first two rounds of the tournament will be played Nov. 8, with the quarterfinals matches being played Nov. 9, the semifinals on Nov. 10 and the finals on Nov. 11. Draws for the event will be released at a later date.

Rapper Soulja Boy found himself in trouble with the law early Wednesday morning. As first reported by TMZ on Jan. 22, the 23-year-old "Pretty Boy Swag" rapper was arrested in L.A. for possession of a loaded gun.
According to law enforcement sources, the rapper, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was a passenger in a car that was stopped by police. During the traffic stop, police stay they noticed that Soulja Boy had a loaded gun in his possession.
The discovery led to a quick arrest and jail time for Soulja Boy who was booked with a felony charge with bail set at $35k. The arrest was another in a string of run-ins with the law for Soulja Boy. He was also arrested back in 2011 for marijuana and weapons possession.
The arrest was the second of the day involving hip hop artists. Young Jeezy was arrested in Georgia for obstruction and refusing to cooperate with police.

Looking at a few of Littelmann's papers, he seems to only apply root operators $f_\alpha$ for $\alpha$ a simple root. However, the definition seems to make perfect sense for $\alpha$ any positive root. (Indeed one can change the hyperplane that divides positive and negative roots and get a new set of simple roots corresponding to that choice.)
My question is: how much have the $e_\alpha$ and $f_\alpha$ been studied or used for nonsimple $\alpha$?
(This question also applies to other path models, like LS paths.)

He has allowed 10 runs (eight earned) on 21 hits and has recorded 30 strikeouts to just 10 walks in 30.0 innings. Heading into the all-star break, Hoffman ranks among the league leaders in ERA (eighth), innings pitched (t-9th) and total strikeouts (t-19th).

Hoffman is one of three players from Conference USA participating in the mid-summer classic as he joins Mason Robbins (Southern Miss) and Aaron Blair (Marshall).

Next year Kentucky will have elections for its state constitutional officials- Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Attorney General, Auditor, and Commissioner of Agriculture. In 2011, there was low turnout due to 1) the Republican gubernatorial candidate David Williams was not very popular among most conservatives, which in turn not only enabled Steve Beshear to be re-elected, but also resulted in his fellow Democrats winning (the exception being Republican James Comer being elected Commissioner of Agriculture), 2) apathy, and 3) ignorance (some people were not even aware there was an election- perhaps they were looking ahead to the 2012 Presidential Election).
Due to the low turnout in 2011, the solution should be to hold the elections for the state constitutional officials on an even-numbered year. People are used to voting on even-numbered years (hence larger turnout), plus doing so would save the Commonwealth money.
It should be noted that such action took place in the 1990s regarding elections for local officials throughout Kentucky. In 1993, anyone who was elected or re-elected served either five-year or three-year terms for their respective offices. It is unclear why similar action was not taken regarding the elections for Kentucky's state constitutional officials.
So here is the solution: whoever gets elected or re-elected in 2015 should be allowed to serve a five-year term, thus holding the next election for these respective offices in 2020. Since the Presidential Election will be that year, turnout should be high.
As for our odd-numbered years, they can continue to be reserved for special elections (as was the case in 2013).
Thus, the General Assembly needs to implement this long-overdue change.

Over at Religion & Politics, Jack Jenkins of the Center for American Progress reports on the role of faith leaders in the fight for immigration reform. My favorite uote from from a rabbi who attended a rally for immigration reform:
"One person asked me, 'Why do you care about this? What's your connection to this fight?'" Kimelman-Block said, laughing. "It's funny: if you're in the Jewish community, the answer to that question is totally obvious."
Dying to know which person asked the question, someone who never read Exodus and never saw Charlton Heston in "The Ten Commandments" I guess.

EV Neighbors Protest New Restaurant From Owner of Supper
"Our immediate neighborhood has become saturated with places that serve alcohol."
Frank Prisinzano (Supper, Frank) recently applied for a liquor license for his new "simple Italian cafeteria" at 150 East 2nd Street, a process EV Grieve has been following in exacting detail since a fraught Community Board 3 meeting last week ended in deadlock. Tonight (6:30 p.m. at 166 Essex Street), the full board meets to consider Prisinzano's request, but unhappy neighbors already submitted a negative letter to the board.
"Supper has been seriously problematic for the residents of the building and residents on the block," the letter says. Gripes include a noisy, blocked sidewalk, open windows, uncooperative management, and general degradation: "Our immediate neighborhood has become saturated with places that serve alcohol, while otherwise-useful businesses are dwindling, to the detriment of our quality of life." (Residents who attended last week's meeting were considerably more colorful, according to EV Grieve: "We hear people vomit. It's a little row of hell.")
Prisinzano countered that the other possible tenants for the space are "a bank and a 7-Eleven." Not to mention that the block is "full of shitty bars." That logic did little for Jeremiah Moss, of Jeremiah's Vanishing New York, who commented: "You know what, BRING ON THE BANKS. give us a 7-11. guess what? they're quiet. they don't attract hordes of screaming idiots."

Dana Powell
Nov. 13, 2011
HOUSTON, Texas (SMU) - Dana Powell posted her 19th double-double of the season with 12 kills and 15 digs at Rice Sunday, but the Mustangs couldn't take down the Owls, falling 3-0 in their final road test of the season.
The Mustangs came up just short in the first set of the match, trailing by two points, 21-19, before the Owls (16-12, 11-6 Conference USA) closed out the set for a 25-21 win and early advantage. After a 25-17 win in the second set, the Owls ended the match in the third with a 25-18 win.
In each of the three sets, SMU (13-16, 9-8 C-USA) was tied or in the lead around the midway point, but the Mustangs couldn't hold off the late charges by the Owls down the stretch.
SMU will host UTEP in its next match in Moody Coliseum on Friday at 7 p.m. The Mustangs will face UCF on Sunday at 1 p.m. before concluding the regular season at home against conference-leader Tulsa on Nov. 26 at 2 p.m.

I've got GREAT news for you!
Many of you know that Continental and United merged last year to form United Continental Airline. The new name takes some getting used to – but I've flown quite a bit on the "new" airline in the last few months, and I can tell you that the service and everything you would want from an airline (like your intact luggage arriving with you :)) has been excellent.
United Continental is a member of the Star Alliance along with a bunch of other airlines. (Here's the complete list of member airlines). Star Alliance has a large collection of discount "air passes" for different regions, and now –
Basically the rules are:
- You have to buy the airpass in conjunction with a ticket into the region on a Star Alliance partner. For us that means United Continental, of course if you are traveling from Europe or Asia there are other member airlines available. But UA – CO is the only airline that serves Kosrae.
- The ticket has to be bought outside of the Micronesian region.
- You have to make at least two 24 hour stops.
- You can only travel in one direction. So you can't backtrack, except for passing through Guam.
- Right now you will have to contact the airline ticket office or a travel agent to buy the pass. If you work directly with the airline, you must ask for the "Micronesia AirPass".
In a few months you should be able to find a fare calculator on this site. And here's the link to the official rules and FAQs.
We are also offering any guest traveling on the AirPass a 20% discount on lodging at Kosrae Village, so you can save in a lot of ways, just be sure to let us know that you are using the AirPass ticket.
June 4 and 5 Bruce will be in the Kosrae Visitors Bureau booth, #535, at the Long Beach (California) Scuba Show. So you can drop by, ask him questions in person and of course, he will have a super show special to offer as well.
That Saturday afternoon, he's also going to be doing a seminar about Kosrae coral, how we protect the reef and what makes Kosrae a super safe destination. People attending the seminar will have an opportunity to win some great prizes, including a Continental ticket to Kosrae!
Happy Spring!

Nintendo's been celebrating 25 years of The Legend of Zelda all year, with events from orchaestras to a special Collector's Edition for it's upcoming title, Skyward Sword, bundling together a soundtrack and golden Wii Remote.
Today on Twitter, VIZ Media announced that they're taking part in the celebrations. Collecting their ten volumes of the Zelda graphic novels released by VIZ Kids by Akira Himekawa, the box set is currently on sale for $44.09 on Amazon. In addition to the books, it comes with an exclusive poster.
For gamers, the box set includes adaptations of
- The Ocarina of Time
- Majora's Mask
- Four Swords
- Oracle of Seasons
- Oracle of Ages
- The Minish Cap
- A Link to the Past
- Phantom Hourglass
Understandably, this set only includes the comics VIZ have published. Long-lasting fans will remember that Shotaro Ishinomori wrote and drew a comic based off Link's early adventures. Ishinomori is noted as the creator of Kamen Rider, amongst other Japanese superhero mainstays, and can be equated to Japan's Stan Lee.

Below are two examples of interviews to assist you in designing your interview. You may choose either to interview the student about a phenomena (event) or concept (instance).
The purpose of this interview is to investigate children's ideas about animals in an individual interview, the child ("C") is shown a series of cards with pictures of familiar animals (including mammals, birds, reptiles, and invertebrates), and non-animals (including plants and non-living thing). For each card, the child is asked if he/she thinks the example is an animal, and why or why not.
Animal Interview
A. INTRODUCTION: "I would like to find out about your meaning for the word "animal". Is it OK with you if I tape record your answers so I can remember what you said later?"
I: "In your meaning of the word animal, is a ________ an animal?"
I: "Why do you think so?"
I: "Is there any other way you know that a is an animal?" (or you may wish to compare with earlier responses).
I: "These are the things you said are animals, and these are the ones you said are not animals. What would you say makes an
animal an animal? Thanks for working with me.
D. VISUAL AIDS: A set of 10 cards with various pictures of animals and non-animals, presented in the following order: cow, bird, boy, tree, snake, fish, dog, insect, fire, worm.
The purpose of this interview is to investigate children's ideas regarding what happens when water boils, evaporates, and condenses, and when ice melts. A series of events involving ice melting, and water boiling, condensing, and evaporating are shown to a student in an individual interview situation. Familiar kitchen equipment is used to demonstrate the phenomena, e.g., a glass coffee pot for boiling. For each event, the child is asked to describe what s/he sees happening, then is asked to explain, in his or her words, what has happened.
States of Water Interview
"I would like to show you some things that use water-I am sure you have probably seen them before. I will show you each event and then I will ask you to describe what you see. Is it okay with you if I tape record your answers so I can remember what you said later?"
Demonstration: A glass coffee pot on a hot plate with water boiling in it.
The question: "What do you see in the coffee pot?"
Then: "What do you think the bubbles are made of?"
Then: "What, in your opinion, is boiling?"
Demo: Steam from the coffee pot condensing on a saucer placed above the pot.
The question: "What do you think the steam is made of?"
Then: "What do you think is on the saucer?"
Demo: Water evaporating from the surface of the saucer.
The question: "What do you think has happened to the water on the saucer?"
Demo: Blocks of ice placed in a baby food jar and the lid screwed on. After a time moisture from the air condenses on the cold part of the jar.
The question: "From where, do you think, the water on the outside of the jar came?"
Demo: A block of ice melting on a teaspoon. The question: "What do you think is happening to the ice on the spoon?"
"Is there anything else you want to say about your understanding of water? Thanks for answering these questions!"
From: Osborne, R.J. & Cosgrove. M. M. (1983). Children's conception of the changes of state of water. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 209, 825-838.
