PSSSHOOOOW!: Japanese Jetpack In Action
This is a video of a Japanese man flying around a television studio with a homemade jetpack strapped on. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the video to play here at work so I've had to rely on the word of my tipsters. So, give it to me straight -- is it as awesome as I'd hoped? I got had, didn't I? Gotdamnit.

Secrets of Success
I Shoulda Bought More Candy!
Monday, April 01, 2013
I'm starting a new streak of living each day as healthily as I possibly can. I started one 37 days ago and though there have been some days when I knew the entire day was not a perfectly healthy day, I'd always made more healthy choices than UNhealthy ones. This weekend I really can't make that claim. It was a birthday weekend that fell on a holiday weekend so excessive dining opportunities abounded. I knew this and had prepared some strategies, but not enough. So what went wrong this weekend?
And what went right?
WRONG - On Saturday I really did want to go to that all-you-can-eat restaurant and Himself is always good for one and it was the day before his birthday anyway and it was going to rain on Sunday so who wants to drive away from Paradise in the rain? But I knew the dessert table was going to tempt me beyond resistance. In fact - I was intending to indulge in some sweet goodness. But I also knew that the desserts, while looking varied, were actually going to taste sort of ... commercial - and maybe even bland and a little metallic - although sweet. I knew that - but conveniently forgot it. I also knew that one slice of carrot cake from an all you can eat buffet would equal 12 points or 600 calories. And I could have remembered that their ice cream is always watery - and Ice Cream is an important food group. So I chose and chose and chose all those high calorie things and durn. None of them really tasted good enough to give me that 'I HAVE BEEN REWARDED AND INDULGED" feeling.
And when that's what you've been wanting - that's what you've been planning for - that's what you actually gave yourself permission to enjoy ... and you don't get it? BAAAAAD NEWS.
And now, feeling deprived and let down, along came Easter Sunday with all it's memories of candy laden baskets (Yes I know - there is a deeper meaning to this day but I am talking about my heathen wild child right brain with memories of chocolate bunnies and unlimited malted milk robin eggs and BLACK JELLYBEANS!!!) And so along came another
WRONG - I didn't purchase enough of the right kinds junk food to make me feel festive!
What's that?
I had plenty of healthy choices in the kitchen - fruit, whole grain breads, low fat cheese, crispy vegetables. But it was a Holiday and a Birthday. There was no exciting treat candy goodie around. Nothing to feel special and rewarded and 9 years old. I spent a good bit of time indoors on a rainy Sunday afternoon looking for that candytreatgoodyyummy sensation.
And what happens when you are craving something and it's not there. You know, don't you? You wander around eating everything and anything that might slake that sugar-lustful thirst. I gnawed my way through the kitchen eating mostly fruit. But what I wanted was Chocolate Bunny.
(Oh chocolate bunny - come to me)
Now - 2 Russel Stover chocolate bunnies are 600 calories. 60 robin egg malted milk candies would have equaled 600 calories. I can eat a lot of robin eggs but I don't think I could have eaten 60. I think 20 of them would have satisfied my sugar lust. But there was no amount of bananas or oranges that would hit the spot. I know. I tried them both. Lots of them.
Obviously I am going to indulge myself with sweet treats - which is my illusive holy grail. But I owe it to myself to indulge in the treats I really like, the ones that are really good, the ones that will actually satisfy my longing. The second rate sorta stuff - even if the quantity appears to offer me endless options - will always disappoint me and even too much healthy food is too much. If she doesn't get at least a little bit of what she wants, my inner brat will always throw a tantrum in the kitchen.
Ah well. That was then. This is now. And there were RIGHTS, as in:
RIGHT - packed a healthy lunch on Saturday
RIGHT - walked all over creation
RIGHT - took the dog for a second walk on Sunday
RIGHT - did my 11 pushups. (today it is 12)
It wasn't a total wreck of a weekend - but it was not a healthy choice weekend. The best thing I've done so far - the healthiest choice I've made in the aftermath of the debacle is to analyze the situation, figure out what I really wanted and store the wisdom I've gleaned from this thoughtful process for next time. Because next time I will go ahead and have the chocolate bunny and quit looking for it in my empty kitchen. Yes. Next time I will buy More Candy!
Besides, what could be more fun than starting a New Streak on April Fool's Day?

There are people who have to cut out candy and sweet treats entirely. And there are people who don't. I'm one of the latter. I don't think there's been a single day since I started SparkPeople (and for a long time before that) when I didn't have some candy. Of course, most days it isn't very much candy; but there it is. I can be happy with a little, but I can't give it up entirely.

Thankfully - no kidlets here! We did have some corn CHEX drizzled with chocolate sauce tho'.... but it is certainly better than a chocolate bunny or an Easter Cr�me Egg! AND, it satisfied the sweet tooth and was our anniversary treat! I really enjoyed your post!

When that sweet treat eludes you and nothing else will satisfy, you hunt for something to take it's place. Been there, done that. I had my m&m's this weekend and no regrets.
Thankfully, they are gone and I can now get back to business. Have a great week!

Yep I hear ya on that one! I wanted the chocolate eggs and I ate them in moderation but exercised the hell out of yesterday as I knew it could get ugly with the chocolate....they are my absolute favourite and are the favourite of our 11 year old son.
I feel okay, I was well within my caloric limits -- Happy April

A newborn baby, missing from Wisconsin, was found safe and alive behind an Iowa gas station Friday morning. The six-day-old infant was wrapped in blankets, inside a plastic bin.
Authorities believe the newborn may have spent as long as 29 hours there, during which time temperatures dropped to 11 below zero, with a wind chill of 23 below, according to KCRG.com on Feb. 8.
Six-day-old Kayden Powell was located behind a BP gas station around 10:00 a.m. Friday. That's just 500 yards away from another gas station where the baby's aunt was arrested a day earlier.
Shortly after a woman reported her newborn son missing from her Wisconsin home, police zeroed in on her half-sister, who was found with a prosthetic pregnancy belly, baby clothes and a stroller, but no baby, according to Fox News.
Federal prosecutors charged infant Powell's aunt, 31-year-old Kristen Smith of Denver, Colorado, with kidnapping Friday afternoon. Smith faces up to life in federal prison if convicted of the crime.
Smith allegedly kidnapped the baby in the early morning hours of Friday. She was taking the baby's clothes back to Colorado with her since her half-sister and the baby's father were planning to move in with her at her Denver residence.
But at first, Smith denied taking the baby. When she became suspected of the crime, that's when she apparently abandoned the child behind the gas station.
Police began checking possible stops along the travel route between Beloit, Wis., and Denver. West Branch, Iowa Police Chief Mike Horihan finally located the baby at the BP station.
Investigators said a search of Smith's cellphone contained emails in which she claimed to have given birth on Feb. 5, according to a court document. And a search of her Facebook page revealed posts in which she claimed she was pregnant.
"Surprisingly with the weather the way it was, he was surprisingly healthy," Horihan said said of the infant. "To be honest with you, that's not what I expected."
Doctors said a child that young could die in a mere matter of minutes when exposed to that kind of weather. Also, newborns typically eat every three to four hours, but Powell may not have eaten for over a day.
Miraculously the infant boy overcame the odds stacked against him. Authorities said he's "doing very well." After a check-up at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the six-day-old was released to his parents in Beloit.
Authorities said records show Smith appears to go by multiple names and has had run-ins with the law in multiple states.

Brittney had a stellar performance going up against some of the best swimmers in the country last weekend at the Toshiba Classic in Long Beach, Calif. She finished seventh overall out of 102 swimmers in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.05 and a best time on the weekend of 1:03.56. Her time was a mere .3 of a second off of the all-time Fresno State school record. Brittney also competed in the 400 IM finishing 39th out of 82 swimmers and helped propel both her 200 medley and 400 medley relay teams to 11th place finishes out of the 48 team field. Ultimately, Brittney made a huge contribution to her team's 11th place overall finish out of the 25 teams competing last weekend which was good enough to finish ahead of defending WAC Champions Nevada.

William "Kayo" Lam
After moving south from Glenrock, Wyo., William "Kayo" Lam starred in football, track, cross country and wrestling in the 1930's. He arrived in Boulder as a 5-foot, 9-inch, 140-pound freshman, but by the time he was a senior he weighed in at 160 after having led the nation in rushing with 906 yards as a junior in 1934. He topped that figure with 1,043 in 1935, leading the country in all-around yardage with 2,225. He was the first CU athlete to play in a postseason all-star game (the East-West Shrine). He was a two-time All-Rocky Mountain Conference selection in football and also won the conference's 155-pound weight title in wrestling as a junior. After serving in World War II, he returned to Boulder where he would work the next 36 years at the University, from assistant dean of men and assistant football coach to assistant athletic director and business manager. He was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 1978. Lam passed away on April 23, 1993 at the age of 81.

Authors: Sharma, R; Sahoo, P K; Chaturvedi, S C

Abstract: Quantitative structure activity relationship studies on a series of [1,2,4]Triazino[4,3-a] benzimidazole acetic acid derivatives with selective aldose reductase inhibitor activity is made using a combination of various physicochemical descriptors. This is a new class of triazino benzimidazole derivatives having selective activity with minimum toxic effects. Several significant equations with good co-efficient of correlation (≥ 0.854) are obtained; the best model is selected using predictive ability of equations. The model shows positive contribution of logP towards biological activity i.e., high hydrophobic nature of the molecules might be increasing the selective aldose reductase inhibitor activity.

Among the isolated compounds, dengraols A 1 and B 2, moscatilin 6 and gigantol 7 showed inhibitory activity of proliferation on HL-60 cells with IC₅₀ values at 2.1, 6.4, 0.082 and 10.6 μM, respectively.

We all have a favorite style that we have come to love and embrace over years of using an item. Take clothing for instance, some people love stripes, others gravitate to florals or prints. Many more love solid colors to mix and match. Once we get used to the way something looks and feels, we are content and love using or wearing that item over and over. The same can be said for checks. There are many styles of checks like the top tear regular check. But there are also side tear checks, top stub checks, and even binder checks. The choice of a particular style check is whatever you are comfortable with. Side tear checks are a popular choice for many and the availability of them can vary from site to site making them somewhat hard to find. Luckily, we have a nice selection of lovely checks and the side tear checkbook covers to go with them too.
Choosing a pattern for your checks and matching checkbook cover is easy on our site. We have gathered a fabulous collection of designs from pretty to plain and simple so there is sure to be one for your needs.

Geeks Take Drugs to Think Better
Lots of science and engineering types are apparently taking drugs to sharpen their thinking.
Earlier this year, the journal Nature posted an online survey on the subject; twenty percent of the people who responded said they've taken drugs for non-medical reasons to improve concentration, focus or memory, the journal reports today.
Of those who had taken the drugs, 44% had used Cephalon's Provigil, and 62% had used Novartis's Ritalin, which is available as a generic. They were spread pretty evenly among users who had taken the drug daily, weekly, monthly, or once a year at most.
In all, more than 1,400 people responded to the online survey, which Nature posted after a provocative commentary on the subject published last December drew a strong response from readers.
Those who made their experience known represented a pretty wide range of ages (the largest age group, 26 to 35, accounted for only 34.% of respondents). About 15% were biologists, and another 15% were engineers. The rest were spread across other fields, including education (12%), medicine (8%) and media (7%).
Among all respondents — even those who hadn't taken the drugs for non-medical reasons — 79% said healthy people should be allowed to take cognitive-enhancing drugs if they want to. You can link to the full survey results, along with other related articles and forums, here.
Sharon Morein-Zamir, a Cambridge post-doc who was a co-author of the commentary that inspired the survey, told the Health Blog she'd tried Provigil a few times, mostly out of curiosity.
"For me it worked," she said. "You sit in front of the computer and you don't get distracted — you actually do what you wanted to do." She noted that the placebo effect might played a role ("I didn't double blind it") and added that she wouldn't take it on a regular basis. "I'm the kind of person that I don't like to drink coffee every morning because I don't want to be dependent," she said.
Health Blog Questions of the Day: Should doctors prescribe drugs for healthy people who want to improve their concentration? Have you ever taken drugs to improve your thinking?

EUGENE – This weekend, the University of Oregon softball team kicks off another exciting fall slate with an exhibition doubleheader at Oregon State, Saturday, October 13 at noon.
In their third week of fall practice, the Ducks continue their pursuit for a Women's College World Series return, and look ahead to two more home doubleheaders at home at the end of the month.
In two weeks at Howe Field, UO showcases its deepest team ever in a doubleheader vs. Corban College on Saturday, October 27 at 10 a.m. The next day, Oregon then hosts Portland State University on Sun., Oct. 28 at 1 p.m.
Both Duck fall home dates offer free admission to fans.
Oregon comes off arguably its greatest season ever in 2012 after it staked a 45-18 overall record and 13-9 mark in the Pac-12 - the nation's top softball league.
Among other team highlights, UO capped the campaign ranked fifth in both national polls; placed third in the Pac-12 for the second straight season; and scored its second-most wins ever in school history en route to its second Women's College World Series trip.
This season's 21-person roster is one of its most decorated and features two All-Americans – senior outfielder Samantha Pappas and senior pitcher Jessica Moore.
Last May, the duo were tabbed to All-Region Teams with senior second baseman Kaylan Howard, and the junior trio of catcher Alexa Peterson, first baseman Kailee Cuico and infielder Courtney Ceo.
Five of those players were also All-Pac-12 honorees with utility player Christie Nieto and shortstop Kelsey Chambers, while center fielder Janie Takeda was an All-Pac-12 Freshman Team choice.
The future shines even brighter for fourth-year head coach Mike White who welcomes an impressive newcomer class that featured four players on the ESPN.com Top 100 list – third-most nationally.
That quartet included utility player Koral Costa (San Pedro, Calif.), pitcher Cheridan Hawkins (Anderson, Calif.), catcher Janelle Lindvall (Stevenson Ranch, Calif.) and infielder Danica Mercado (Temecula, Calif.).
UO's other three heralded additions include infielders Stevie Jo Knapp (Chino Hills, Calif.) and Karine Shaver (Waipahu, Hawai'i) and outfielder Andrinae White (Fairfield, Calif.).
The six-member newcomer class will help ease the loss of three senior starters from 2012 – Kelsey and Lindsey Chambers and utility player Christie Nieto.
Duck fans can also look for to other notable additions in the dugout this fall. Chelsea Spencer, a former All-American infielder at Cal, and Matt Lisle round out one of the nation's deepest coaching staffs as first-year coaches.

The nominees for the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are in and there were cheers and jeers from fans once the nominations were announced. Newcomers such as Netflix's original series "Orange is the New Black" made a big splash with multiple nominations as well as HBO's "True Detective." However, it was this year's Emmy snubs that garnered a lot of buzz and fans took to social media to express their disappointment.
According to "The New York Daily News," the biggest snubs were the absence of Tatiana Maslany in the Lead Actress in a Drama category and "The Good Wife" not being nominated for Best Drama Series. Maslany has won several awards for her portrayal of multiple clones on the BBC critically acclaimed series "Orphan Black." This is the second year in a row that Maslany has not been nominated and fans are dismayed that the Emmy's refuse to recognize her performance.
"The Good Wife" is coming off one of its best seasons and has been winning both critics and fans hearts all year with the dramatic split of the main characters into two separate law firms Lockhart/Gardner and Florrick/Agos. The series also managed to pull off arguably one of the most shocking and surprising deaths in years when main character Will Gardner, played by the superbly talented Josh Charles, was killed off in episode 15.
While "Orphan Black" didn't receive any nominations, "The Good Wife" obtained nominations for Charles in the Supporting Actor category, Christine Baranski in the Supporting Actress category and Juliana Margulies in the Lead Actress category.
It wasn't all bad news at the nominations as fans cheered when "Orange is the New Black" actress Laverne Cox was nominated making history as the first transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy award. In addition Cox's co-stars Natasha Lyonne and Uzo Adoba were nominated in the same category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Taylor Schilling was nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category.
Fans were also excited to see Lizzy Caplan of Showtime's "Masters of Sex" break in to the Lead Actress in a Drama category. HBO's "True Detective" actors took a gamble by submitting to the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category as opposed to the Miniseries category and it paid off as both Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson scored nods.
"Game of Thrones" leads all nominations with 19 nods. "Fargo" was right behind with 18 nods and "Saturday Night Live" received 14 nods.
Do you think that Maslany and "The Good Wife" should have been nominated? Which nominations were you most excited about? Post your thoughts in the comments section below.
The 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Monday, August 25th at 7pm on NBC, Cox Cable channel 3. The show will be hosted by Seth Meyers.

Do you believe in ghosts? If you do you're not alone. According to a CBS pole, 48% of Americans believe in Ghosts. 22% of that 48% say they have actually seen ghosts. This isn't surprising, the Human mind seems to be wired to see apparitions. Our minds naturally try to make sense out the formless things we see. Ethereal wisps of smoke, a flash mark in a picture, or a burnt piece of toast are given recognizable human faces or forms when you look at them long enough.
Our brains will also take random sounds and try to turn them into recognizable words. Take an old record and play it backwords. The sounds you hear are formless and completely unrecognizable at first. But if you take one phrase and play it over and over again you will begin to recognize a word or two. It is how our brains work.
As a result, we can easily write off the majority of ghostly encounters as over active imaginations or wishful thinking. However there are those who have experiences that can't be explained so quickly. A shove in the back when you are all alone, objects that move on their own, or fly off shelves for no apparent reason. These sorts of things defy reality and demand an explanation, begging the question; Are Ghosts real?
A Shapeless Black Mass
It was about 3:00 in the afternoon when Walter awoke. It had been a lazy Sunday afternoon, a perfect day for a nap. The room was bright and house was silent. He was looking at the clock next to his bed when he noticed movement out of the corner of his eye. At he foot of the bed, but off to the side, a thing that could only be described as a shapeless black mass was floating toward his open bedroom door.
"I was completely awake, "Walter said, "I raised my head off my pillow to see this thing disappear into the living room. It went through the doorway inch by inch, like a train going into a tunnel. " Walter jumped off the bed to investigate further but he found that it was gone, vanished into thin air.
Walter had written the apparition off until he came across a video on You Tube a few years latter. The video showed a black mass that had been photographed in someone else's room. "There it was plain as day." Walter reports that he personally had never seen anything like it before nor sense. He was unwilling to call it a ghost but he believes it was a spiritual encounter. When asked why he thinks so, he replied "There was something foreboding about it. You just knew it was supernatural; there is nothing in nature like it. A cloud perhaps, but this wasn't a cloud, more like a black moving void.
A Pastors Opinion
Ghosts, demons, angels, shadow figures, black mass entities, all the things that go bump in the night are the stuff of legends and movies. Are they real or imagined? According Pastor Kevin Rushing of Calvary Chapel in Winnemucca NV, the effect these apparitions have on people are real. Like the majority of Christian Pastors, he believes in the supernatural, but views experiences from a biblical perspective.
When it comes to Ghosts, he tends to be more skeptical then you would think, "People react to what they believe they are seeing" said Pastor Kevin, "It doesn't have to be real, the problem is the fear and bondage that the experience engenders." When asked if he believes in ghosts? His answered "no, at least not the way Hollywood portrays them."
"Ghosts are not dead people that have remained to haunt homes or people." He believes that the bible is clear. When a person dies, their spirit is taken, not left to wander and roam. (2 Corinthians 5:6) He points out, scripturally speaking; apparitions of dead people act more like visions, "Paul the Apostle had a vision of heaven that was so real that he couldn't tell if he was dead or alive. (2 Corinthians 12:3)" Pastor Kevin explained that the majority of apparitions are nothing more then a visual encounter. He believes that people may be shown visions of dead people, or black mass entities by satanic forces for any number of reasons. At the very least, they create fear and worry, and in some cases, they cause people to turn to the occult. If there is no actual physical contact or interaction, Pastor Kevin doubts that it is a manifested spirit.
Real Not Imagined
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Christianity promises freedom from demonic forces. If you or someone you love is experiencing physical manifestations such as objects moving about or something worse. Pastors like Kevin would tell you not to be fooled into thinking it is a dead relative. You are dealing with satanic forces designed to harass and enslave you. Forces that are determined to keep you from Christ Jesus and the freedom that is found in him.
If you feel that you are dealing with something more then an apparition, something that can manifest; then Jesus is your only hope. Don't call Ghost hunters or your local medium. They will tickle your ears and only lead you away from Christ Jesus. Before you start throwing holy water all around your home or start speaking into the air with electronic recorders, get some help. Find a mature Bible believing Pastor who will talk to you about living for Christ Jesus. Weather you are dealing with a bump in the night or Elvis Presley, turning to Christ is the place to start.

You're in: Home > Tourism » How to get to Venice » by sea
Venice can be accessed by sea by entering into its harbour: the Port Channel of Lido and the Port Channel of Malamocco are signalled off the coast by approach and introduction buoys.
The three separate harbour entrances offer very important guarantees for boater safety and permits a more rational organization of traffic according to the type of ships and places of approach and introduction.
Currently there are three harbour entrances that give access to the lagoon of Venice:
1. the inlet of Chioggia allows access from the south
2. the inlet of Malamocco, located at the centre of the lagoon
3. the inlet of Lido allows access from the north
The harbour inlets of Lido and Malamocco represent the starting point of a dense network of interior channels that extend over 96 km and whose depths vary from 14.5 m to 10 meters under sea level. These smaller channels allow boats entrance to the harbour in the historic centre of Venice and the mainland.
Passenger cruise ships normally dock in the area of San Basilio where the new cruise ship zone Venezia Terminal Passeggeri (VTP) is located. It is easily reached by sea and by land, as it is located at the turnoff of the Ponte della Libertà, the bridge that connects Venice with the mainland.
Cruise Terminal (services for cruise passengers: shuttle bus from Piazzale Roma, water shuttle, pre-check-in ...)
Ferries Terminal 123 for Greece.
Hydrofoils Terminal (San Basilio 22) for Croatia.
For more information on the Harbour of Venice
Approaching Venice in your own boat can be an unforgettable experience. This city is not your usual seaside resort for a boating vacation.
Recreational boats can dock at dockyards operated by local sailing organizations or private companies.
In Venice (historic centre, islands, and Lido):
* Diporto Velico Veneziano
* Compagnia della Vela
* Riva dei Sette martiri e riva San Biagio
* Darsena Marina Alberoni
* Darsena VenMar
And on the mainland:
* Darsena Fusina
* Darsena Cantieri Dalla Pietà
* Darsena Marina di Campalto
* Darsena D.E.C.
* Darsena Scafo Club
Darsena = Basin
You cannot circulate freely in the canals in Venice due to the restrictions imposed by their inherent structure (some of the smaller canals are quite narrow) and by city regulations.
The only recreational boats that can navigate in the inner canals are those owned by residents in the Venice historic centre or lagoon islands or holders of special licenses for water space in the historic centre or the Giudecca and in craft whose tonnage does not exceed 5 tons.
On the other hand, tourists may travel at will from the St. Mark's Basin towards the Lido and the lagoon, while always observing the Practical Regulations
* if you call using a cell phone, you will be connected directly with the Operating Centre of the General Headquarters of the Harbour Authorities - Coast Guard, that will implement first aid and rescue operations;
* if you call from a fixed phone line, you will be connected directly to the Harbour Authority having jurisdiction.

Swim Vacation, Day 2, by Heather
Awoke to calm breezes in Cistern Bay off Cooper Island. Will and I planned a big swim this morning - just about 2 miles. The water was so warm and clear, the reefs beautiful. We had the wind at our backs most of the way, but when we turned around and came back we had to dig deep. Adriana is being haunted by and old shoulder injury, but she got in and snorkeled so as not to miss the lovely reef life. Everyone else made the entire swim and felt great, especially when we returned to a hearty breakfast of Eggs Benedict.
We lunched on fantastic shrimp, bruschetta and deviled eggs, and made a quick stop back to Road Town (Tortola) to pick up Marks luggage (hooray!). While we were in the harbor, a dolphin came to visit - not an very common site here in the BVIs.
Off to the wreck of the Rhone, where our swimmers got in to snorkel and play, and host Lisa and I made a spectacular dive. I photographed a sea turtle, which later made an appearance for the swimmers.
A short break, and on to our afternoon swim. Some took a pass after our massive morning swim. The rest of us jumped in at the Rhone and swim about 3/4 mile east along Salt Island, while Captain Rich followed us in the Promenade. Linda, Chris, Mark and I decided to challenge Will to a race - but Will had to wait two minutes after we started get in. He caught us at about the half way mark.
The swells had really picked up by the end of the swim...but no complaints from our swimmers. They are ready for whatever this beautiful Caribbean blue has to offer, and embracing this experience to the fullest.
Cocktail hour with fabulous dip and crackers, mojitos, stories and learning more about the intrepid members of our group. We were rewarded for our day of hard swimming and play with a fantastic sunset.
Moored at Great Harbor off Peter Island tonight. Looking forward to whatever tomorrow holds!

"Ravenswood" was a spin-off of "Pretty Little Liars" that ABC Family thought would be eaten up by fans. Tyler Blackburn moved over to "Ravenswood" and took his character Caleb with him. While it was a little on the creepy side, the show was hard to follow. Loyal "Haleb" (Caleb and Hanna) fans were up in arms over Caleb's new girl Miranda. According to a Feb. 14 report from Deadline, "Ravenswood" has been officially canceled by ABC Family. This is good news for "Haleb" fans.
Tyler Blackburn moved from "Pretty Little Liars" to "Ravenswood" and things got a little complicated. The show had four main characters and the story line was mediocre at best. Season 1 consisted of 10 episodes, all of which have already aired. Now that "Ravenswood" has been canceled, fans are hoping Caleb will return to "Pretty Little Liars" and get back together with Hanna.
The cancellation of "Ravenswood" was just announced today, so the news is still fresh. "Pretty Little Liars" has almost finished Season 4, which means Tyler Blackburn could easily make a return in Season 5. Fans are hoping that Blackburn will return and all will be correct in the "Haleb" universe.

Looking forward to them on the shelf at my FLGS.
Hope they hit the shelves soon. I want some!! I "need" them to build up some units to be "hired" by several different armies I want on the table
I am therefore I think OR I think therefore I am?
This is a must have! The 3-ups look very dynamic and I like the shield design!
I'm still hoping (possibly in vain) for some Byzantine plastics.
Whoo! Whoo!
Wow, theses look great! The Horses seem a bit large, but I prefer a Semi-Heroic scale anyway.
My hope is that they are either all un-armoured or the kit has very few armourered horses which would be realistic.
Edit: indeed it looks like they will be unarmoured, according to the post below from this thread on TMP:
I was expecting some 3-ups of upcoming models and I was right! I was expecting the new models to be some sort of Muslim forces (mamluk cavalry?) but they were actually Mongols(!) and they were beautiful! I spoke to the guys and they will be light Mongol cavalry armed in variety of ways manufactured in plastic while heavy cavalry and characters/leaders(not shown at the show) would be resin(if I understood right).
FireForge are also moving their headquarters as at the moment they are only producing plastic kits but the new facilities will enable them to start making resin kits(when I asked if supporting blister packs would be metal the guys at FF told me that they are not planning on ever using metal, all plastic and resin).
At first I thought it was a surprising choice but then I remembered that the Mongolian 'Golden Horde' invaded Europe and in Poland they clashed in major battle at Legnica against combined forces of Polish, Teutonic, Templar and Hospitallier armies so actually Mongols are a great choice for next 'faction' as they have fought all guys in the existing range.

Small-Shippers at Heart
October 22, 2013 | By Gina Kramer | No Comments
Despite finding their ideal cruise years ago aboard the now retired 114-passenger Spirit of Oceanus, member PDX Steve and his wife were open to new cruise experiences. Oceania's 1,258-passenger Marina caught their eyes as they were browsing through Cruise Critic member reviews, so the couple booked its 25-day South Pacific sailing out of Sydney.
Almost everything — from the ship's design, comfortable atmosphere and exquisite dining — seemed perfect. But even so, something just didn't sit well with this couple.
Turns out PDX Steve and his wife just prefer super-small ships. They acknowledged they're in the minority when it comes to their lack of enthusiasm for the "glitz and glam" lifestyle and onboard entertainment. Their cause wasn't helped by their bias against cruise lines shore excursions — which PDX Steve refers to as "overpriced bus rides."
After that eye-opening cruise, the couple are awaiting their next sailing aboard Oceania's smaller Nautica, which PDX Steve describes as roughly half the size and double the appeal. (Only this time, they'll be booking shore excursions with fellow passengers on Cruise Critic roll calls.) Until PDX Steve weighs in on 700-passenger ships, you can read his full review for more details about life onboard Marina.
For their efforts, PDX Steve and four other Reviewers of the Week — Cruise Raider, Clappy, WizBang and LaBrava03 — receive Cruise Critic logo items.

A more targeted approach to fire prevention in houses across Nottingham city is to be introduced after separate projects with Nottingham Trent University led to Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and Nottingham City Homes joining forces to enhance community safety.
With just under half of the injuries caused by fires in Nottingham city between 2009-11 taking place in Nottingham City Homes properties, the organisations will work together to create profiles of vulnerable tenants to include in their plans for fire prevention, such as home safety checks and smoke alarm installation.
The connection came about through two individual Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) with Nottingham Trent University. While Nottingham City Homes has been assessing the impact of their Decent Homes programme, which included the installation of smoke alarms, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has been investigating the effectiveness of their community safety initiatives and determining whether they fit the needs of those they serve.
Tom Simpson, the KTP associate working with Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Currently we collect detailed information on accidental house fire incidents, specifically regarding the location and the cause of the fire. However, only limited information is available regarding the circumstances of the individuals involved.
"On the other hand, Nottingham City Homes have the information on the individuals in the property, but the exact cause of the fire is more difficult for them to obtain. By sharing this information, in accordance with data protection, we'll both have a much more accurate and detailed picture of many house fire incidents in the city."
Dr Néstor Valero-Silva, from Nottingham Business School, has been working on the Decent Homes Impact Study with Nottingham City Homes to assess the social and economic impact of their work. He said: "Around a quarter of the properties in Nottingham city are managed by Nottingham City Homes so they are a major part of the community, and therefore a major part of Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service's target group."
Vic McMillen, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service group manager, said: "This project fits in very well with our new initiative to direct time and money towards helping those people who are at greatest risk to stay safe in their homes. Partnerships with organisations such as Nottingham City Homes are essential to identifying the people who are most vulnerable so that we can make them our priority, and we thank Nottingham Trent University for providing the opportunity to further improve our work with Nottingham City Homes."
Viv Brunsden, head of the Emergency Services Research Unit at the university's School of Social Sciences, has been working with Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service on their KTP. She said: "We always intended to put both organisations in touch with one another in this way. However we didn't necessarily anticipate how much the two projects have in common and that there would be ways of working across these that enhanced both projects and also delivered long term benefits for the organisations and the community."
Nottingham Trent University is currently celebrating 25 years of KTPs, which are sponsored by the government and research councils and encourage businesses to use the knowledge, technology and skills available within the UK's knowledge base. The Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service KTP is on-going, while findings from the Nottingham City Homes' Decent Homes Impact report were used successfully to resubmit for funding previously taken away by the government.

It's been a theme in the early season. Coaches Matt Dangleis and Alex Leuchars, in an effort to increase stamina, push their swimmers hard at practice, expecting them to be too exhausted to perform at their peak in the weekend meets; yet, the swimmers have continued to rise above expectations. This week was no different.
"[The meet] went really well, actually kind of shocked me a little. A lot of my swimmers were exhausted and tired," said Leuchars. "We've been pounding them hard."
A team of 33 tired swimmers came out of the Malta meet on Saturday with a second-place finish, beh...

I don't know about you, but everyone I know seems to be expecting a boy these days.
I've welcomed two nephews this year (who I adore, by the way), and I can name at least five moms off the top of my head who are expecting or recently gave birth to little men. Even P&N's ownAdventures in Motherhood blogger Suzanna is a soon-to-be mama to a male. Tiny dudes are cool as can be, but every once in awhile, I've got to get the girly out of my system.
And so, I have for you today a bit of nursery inspiration for a little lady's room. It's not too baby, but instead incorporates pieces that can grow with your wee one, or even move about your house once they're no longer needed in the nursery. (And since some of the pieces are admittedly on the pricey side, the knowledge that they'll stay with your family for years to come brings peace of mind to the investment.)
1. Blabla Wooly the Sheep, $48
2. CB2 L_MP pool floor lamp, $199
3. 20×200 Sophie by Jacob Escbedo, from $20
4. Anthropologie Corrigan Chair, $1698
5. The Container Store Marche Basket, from $17
6. DwellStudio Century Crib, $980
7. Anthropologie Mirrored Dresser, $1,298
8. Handmade Soho New Zealand Wool Rug, $201
How about you? Are you having a girl? (I know there's got to be somebody out there who is!) What's the inspiration behind your baby's nursery? Do you like the idea of a more sophisicated nursery, or are you a teddy bears-all-the-way kind of mom? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

First of all, Arlington Artists Alliance is the leading organization representing Arlington Artists. Second, two of the members are featured in the "Illuminations" exhibit that is one of the best ever at the gallery featuring member's work. Third, they are surrounded by work from all members that are exceptional representation of the communities' talent.
Stopping by today these are some of the eye popping works that capture attention for different reasons. Most of the work is made by artists in their studios in Crystal City and some in their other Arlington area studios.
See the slideshow.
"Dates: March 3 - 28, 2014
"Illuminations" is a joint exhibit of collage and water media works by Gallery Underground Members Linda Maldonado and Elise Ritter. Linda and Elise began their art careers as traditional transparent watercolorists, but evolved as progressive collage and non-objective abstract artists, using water media, such as acrylic and watercolor, and also collage. Their work complements one another's, and is often hung next to each other in group shows. The subject matter tends to be symbolist, spiritual and otherworldly in nature, emphasizing color, texture, and form. Both have been influenced by their lives spent moving and traveling in many different regions and cultures: USA: east coast and west coast; Austria; Scandinavia; Turkey; China; Eastern and Western Europe."

Johnny Weir Doesn't Watch Evan Lysacek on Dancing With the Stars
Also, he's planning a skating extravaganza with Lady Gaga and Elton John.
Picture this on the marquee at Madison Square Garden: "Johnny Weir presents: Lady Gaga and Elton John on Ice." No, this vision did not come to us in a glitter-dusted dream. Weir himself revealed his master plan last night at the Cinema Society's screening of Paper Man at the Crosby Street Hotel. "I'm trying to produce my own skating show ... but more like a spectacular, with five or six of the best skaters that I love and Lady Gaga and Elton John performing," he said. "How amazing would that be?!" We didn't bother to answer that highly rhetorical question and instead pressed Johnny for important details, like when can we get tickets? "I want it at Madison Square Garden so we need sponsors," he said. "As long as people get behind my idea, we'll be able to visualize what I want and get that support."
Wearing a sparkling black blazer ("YSL, from the sixties"), Weir told us he already has a fan in Elton, whom he met in his post-Olympic travels. "Meeting Elton John and having him say, 'Oh my God, you were robbed,' that's the coolest thing in the world," he said. Weir would tap the likes of Sasha Cohen and Yu-Na Kim for his skating extravaganza, but don't look for an appearance by his gold-medal-winning rival, Evan Lysacek. "Evan is fine as a person. We've been competitors for years and years and years and that's kinda the forefront to us being people to each other," Weir said. "I think he worked very hard and he deserved that Olympic gold medal and he does a good job. He does his work. But as a person I don't really know him that well and we've never really made the effort to be nice to each other." But surely he must at least watch Lysacek on Dancing With the Stars? "No," Weir said. "And I won't."

text: Johannesburg - In the Absa Currie Cup First Division, the Boland Cavaliers and the EP Kings will be looking to build on their victories from the first round when they hit the road for the first time this season. Both games are on Friday. Welkom is the destination for Boland, where they face the Griffons. The team from the Cape winelands lost badly on their last visit to the Free State's Gold Fields (52-13), a result they would like to turn around this season. The Griffons lost their opening game this season when the Valke beat them 38-27 in Kempton Park last weekend, but any team visiting the Northern Free State will tell confess that it's one of the more difficult venues to play at. Boland thrashed Border 69-12 in Wellington last weekend. The only other game in the Absa Currie Cup First Division this weekend is the Eastern Cape derby between the Border Bulldogs and the EP Kings in East London. The Kings beat the Bulldogs twice last season and will probably go into the game as favourites after their 28-20 victory last weekend over the SWD Eagles in PE. Tasol Solar Griffons vs Regent Boland Cavaliers Date: Friday, 22 July Kick-off: 3:00pm Venue: North West Stadium, Welkom Referee: Lourens van der Merwe Last time these teams met in Absa Currie Cup: 1 October 2010, Boland won by 40-25 in Wellington Border Bulldogs vs EP Kings Date: Friday, 22 July Kick-off: 7:00pm Venue: Buffalo City Stadium, East London Referee: Sindile Mayende Last time these teams met in Absa Currie Cup: 27 August 2010, EP Kings won by 49-6 in Port Elizabeth

I am thrilled to report that Saturn stationed direct at 16 degrees of Scorpio yesterday afternoon. Now is the time to focus on your goals and take action!!! This year has been a succession of retrogrades -- one after the other. Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn have all been retrograde at points during this year. When a planet is retrograde, the energy of the planet is thwarted. We also had difficult eclipses in April during the unprecedented Cardinal Cross, so it has been a very disruptive and frustrating year for many.
That said, there has been such a shift of energy since last week, and a lot of changes continue. There is a lot to to look forward to now. It is also an excellent time to strategize for the future. As many of you know, Jupiter, the luck magnet planet, changed signs and entered the feisty, fun, and creative sign of Leo on July 16, 2014, where it will tour through August 12, 2015. It is time to expand by doing what you love. It is a time to express yourself creatively and have some fun! This next 13 months, you will expand by developing your self expression and opening your heart.
I am even more excited to share the news that Saturn, the planet of structure, is now direct at 16 degrees of Scorpio. This is excellent news because Saturn helps to solidify plans and bring form to goals. Saturn has been in the deep, fixed sign of Scorpio since October 6, 2012. Scorpios and Tauruses have taken been affected the most, as well as the other fixed signs of Aquarius and Leo. However, everyone has been impacted by this cycle, which will end on December 24, 2014 when Saturn enters the fire sign of Sagittarius. Saturn will briefly return to Scorpio from June 16, 2014 through September 19, 2015; but, most of its mission will be complete by the end of the year.
Scorpio is an emotionally deep sign, and Saturn's journey has been a very transformative time for all us. Scorpio is the sign of intimacy, and Saturn's journey in Scorpio has been all about facing and addressing fears of intimacy,control issues, joint resources, debt, taxes, and psychological blocks.
Scorpio is the phoenix that rises from the ashes. Scorpio rules sex, death, and rebirth. If you had emotional blocks from the past which had been swept aside, Saturn in Scorpio inevitably dug up those issues in the past few years, in order for you to face them and heal. Scorpio is a very healing sign when used to the highest good, and it is a sign which can rise again and again. Each of us has had some kind emotional rebirth in the last couple of years.
Saturn stationed retrograde on March 2, 2014 and has been on hold since that time. Now that it is direct again, it is time to crystallize your goals, restructure what you want to build, and plan ahead. Saturn turning direct helps us to access that Saturn energy and connect with our ambitions and get things accomplished.
Mars, the planet of drive and ambition, leaves its tenuous placement in Libra, where it has been stuck since December 8, 2014. Seven months is an incredibly long time for Mars to be in one sign. Mars is debilitated in Libra, as it is in its fall in the sign of Libra. The fact that it was retrograde for several months and part of the Grand Cross made it a nightmare for many.
Mars is about to get very busy, as it enters the determined water sign of Scorpio on July 25, 2014 and will remain in Scorpio through September 13, 2014. Mars loves being in Scorpio as it infuses one's goals and drive with passion and intensity. This is a phenomenal time to get things done.
Uranus stations retrograde today at 16 degrees of Aries, so that is another change going on in the sky. It makes an uncomfortable aspect to Saturn, so it could make people feel a little irritable. This, too, shall pass, as Saturn is moving forward once again! Here's to getting busy and moving forward.

During its 2012 Session, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation eliminating the Board of Towing and Recovery Operators (BTRO) and the towing regulations managed by BTRO. The new law became effective on January 1, 2013.
However, certain responsibilities of BTRO will continue under the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). DCJS will be responsible for licensing of tow drivers only. Tow operators and companies will no longer be licensed or regulated by any state government entity. This does not impact any local governance or oversight of the towing industry.
Below is a summary of the legislative changes that are effective January 1, 2013:

TNA Wrestling's announcement they would not be renewing their lease with Universal Studios and would be taking Impact on the road gave the locker room a big morale boost. Several workers had described the Universal crowd as "spoiled," "calloused," and even "exhausting" to try and garner a reaction from.
The feeling amongst several people was that so many of the Impact regulars had become conditioned to the point where it didn't matter how good the in-ring work was, reactions remained mundane.
The company's move to take TVs on the road has the majority of talent enthusiastic for an energy boost, making their jobs easier.

For non-Law graduates interested in becoming a solicitor or barrister, this course is the stepping stone to the LLM Legal Practice Course or LLM Bar Professional Training Course and your legal career. This flexible distance learning course lets you combine study with work and other commitments. Extensive support and 24-hour access to learning resources ensure that you achieve your full potential.
Fees and funding:
Please visit our fees page.
This is a two-year conversion course designed for non-Law graduates intending to become solicitors or barristers in the UK, or wishing to enhance their career prospects with a legal qualification. The intensive course covers the seven core academic subjects of an undergraduate law degree. It enables progression to the LLM Legal Practice Course (LLM LPC), or the LLM Bar Professional Training Course (LLM BPTC, formerly the BVC), and a legal career thereafter. This course is also available on a full-time basis. Overseas students should note that the GDL is usually only recognised as a qualifying Law course within the UK.
We hold open events for the Graduate Diploma in Law (distance learning) at various points throughout the year. Please visit the events page for further details and to book your place.
Find out more information about the Graduate Diploma in Law, studied by distance learning, by requesting a course brochure.
If you would like to speak with a member of the team, you can contact us using the details below.Email usTelephone: +44 (0)115 848 4460FacebookTwitter
Visit the Nottingham Law School web site
The distance learning GDL is a two-year course. There are four weekend schools in each year, attendance at which is compulsory (subject to medical or other emergencies). Residential weekends usually take place in October, December, February, and March.
The course covers the seven foundations of legal knowledge required by The Law Society. You should be prepared to devote 15 hours per week to your studies.
Year OneThe first weekend gives an introduction to English legal method. There is a pass-or-fail written exercise for English legal method to be completed at home following this weekend. All students must pass this test, but it is formative and does not count toward the final aggregate. There is also teaching on the four core modules at the first weekend.
The remaining three weekends have sessions on the four core subjects: Constitutional and Administrative Law; Contract Law; European Union Law; and Law of Tort, which are also taught at the first weekend.
Year TwoFour weekends covering three core subjects:
In addition, students are required to cover an area of Law that goes beyond the core syllabus. This is achieved during Year Two when students complete an individual research project of 4,500 to 5,000 words.
To find out more about the modules you may study, download our module document .
Each subject is assessed individually, by coursework in three subjects (throughout the year) and an exam (at the end of the year).
Attendance is compulsory at the four residential weekends per year. Teaching is normally held at the City site of Nottingham Trent University and utilises all the facilities available to full-time students, including a well-stocked library with electronic access.
Students who have previously studied Law may be eligible for exemptions and direct entry to Year Two of the distance learning course. If you are proposing to study for the Bar on the LLM BPTC, you should contact the Bar Standards Board (BSB) about exemptions. If you are proposing to take the solicitor route and study the LLM LPC, you should contact us. If you are uncertain which pathway you wish to follow, you should contact the BSB. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) only considers applications where a full exemption is requested by the applicant.
Many of our students live overseas and may not able to visit us. We have therefore created a video so that you can take a tour of the facilities.
Although a career in the law is potentially very rewarding, you should be under no illusions that the current market is anything other than highly competitive. However, some firms will prefer you to be a non-Law undergraduate because of your broader knowledge base from previous studies or qualifications; your maturity and commitment; and your practical, relevant, well-rounded legal knowledge gained by studying the core subjects in context on the GDL.
As most city and larger provincial firms recruit two years in advance, it is worth writing to them now in order to see if they will offer you a work placement or an interview. Some will pay your fees if they offer you a training contract. Obtaining some form of work experience is important in showing your interest to potential employers and for finding out what a career in law is really like.
Nottingham Law School has a specialist Careers Service which is available to GDL, LLM LPC, and LLM BPTC students. Careers talks will be given at weekends in the UK. All enrolled students will have access to careers information via their Virtual Learning Portal.
This course does not currently offer placements, but there are opportunities to gain work experience through involvement in pro bono projects in our Legal Advice Centre.
International and EU students also need to meet the English language requirements. Also see the full list of alternative qualifications for EU and international students.
Anyone with non-standard qualifications may need to obtain a Certificate of Academic Standing (CAS) from either the Bar Standards Board or Solicitors Regulation Authority before they enrol on the GDL. Full details of who is required to obtain this Certificate can be found on the relevant website:
Bar Standards Board
Solicitors Regulation Authority
Click the apply now button at the top of the page to complete your application.
You must make arrangements for submission of your reference. An academic reference is preferable, but if this is difficult to obtain, a professional reference (e.g. from your employer) will be acceptable. If you have difficulty with either of these, please contact staff at the Law School for advice. One reference is sufficient in the first instance. Please give the name of a second referee, and we will contact them if we need to.
There is no application fee. Your application will be considered by the Admissions team and a letter will be sent to you as soon as possible.

Design and maintenance of a closed artificial ...
|Design and maintenance of a closed artificial seawater system for long-term holding of bivalve shellfish
|R. J. MacMillan, Richard J. Cawthorn, S. K. Whyte, P. R. Lyon
|Aquacultural Engineering
|Start page
|End page
|To study the potential for transmission of Perkinsus karlssoni, an apicomplexan parasite, among bivalve hosts, a long-term laboratory-scale, closed, artificial seawater system for shellfish was designed. Species of shellfish utilised were as follows: bay scallops, Argopecten irradians; blue mussels, Mytilus edulis; eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica; European oysters, Ostrea edulis; sea scallops, Placopecten megallanicus; softshell clams, Mya arenaria; and quahaugs, Mercenaria mercenaria. All shellfish used were juveniles with shell heights of 10-25 mm. The design was duplicated for control and experimental systems with a combined population of 1600 individual shellfish. The maximum biomass in each system was estimated at < 1 kg/m super(3). Each system included six, 400 litre rectangular fibreglass tanks, a modular pump and filter unit (particle and activated carbon filters and ultra-violet sterilisers), a biological filter and a refrigeration unit. The total volume of water for each system was 2300 litres of artificial seawater (Instant Ocean super(")). The mean water temperature of 22 degree C was achieved by thermostat-controlled room temperature. Salinity was maintained between 27 and 31 ppt by addition of either freshwater or artificial seawater. Shellfish were fed daily a mixed diet of carboy-cultured algae and spray-dried algae. Mean values for water quality parameters in both systems were as follows: NH sub(3) < 0.004 mg/litre; NO sub(2) super(-) < 0.01 mg/litre; NO sub(3) super(-) < 19-16 mg/litre; and pH 8.0-8.4. The system design was adequate in maintaining healthy bivalves for a period of 22 months, with the exception of the sea scallops which succumbed to warm water. Mean monthly shellfish survival rates were 79.9-100% in the control and 74.8-98.9% in the experimental system. A method of controlling water temperature other than via room temperature should reduce slight seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Suppose $A(t)$ is a time-varying square matrix which is always invertible, and we have $$ \lim_{t\rightarrow \infty}(X(t)A(t) - I) = 0. $$ Can we prove that $$ \lim_{t\rightarrow \infty}(X(t) - A^{-1}(t)) = 0 $$?

$$\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty}(X_t - A^{-1}_t) = \lim_{t\rightarrow \infty}((X_t A_t-I) \, A_t^{-1}) = \lim_{t\rightarrow \infty}(B_t A^{-1}_t)$$ where $B_t=X_t A_t-I$.
Hence we want to know if $\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty} B_t=0$, implies $\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty} B_t C_t=0$ for arbitrary $C_t$. Of course, that's not true in general, not even in the scalar case. Not unless we can bound $C_t$.
Did you try in dimension 1 ? For instance, you can take $X(t) = 1+t$ and $A(t) = \frac{1}{t}$.

Well Mom had been saying to me "Pretty soon it is your bird day!" What the heck is a bird day? I mean do you get birds? I like to look at them outside, but I would not want one. So Tigger reminded me that it is the day Mom picked that I came into the world as a teeny kitty. Since we were both found, Mom picked June 1 as mine, and May 1 as Tigger's. So now I am 5 years old. Wow the years have flown by. Mom still talks about how her & my human sister Jen took turns to feed me 24 hours a day. They saw my first steps, and my eyes open, and when I learned to run! I am a happy girl mostly, even though I hiss at Tigger. After all, it was just me here for 3 years. But he is a pretty good brother. I got a pretty pink soft carrier, so I don't have to squich into the hard one any more. Mom says this one has more air, and I can see out, and it folds down so it will take up less room. Tigger got one too, but he had to get the BIG size. Mom says she will try & sell our other carriers as they really have only been used a few times, and then she will donate the money to one of the shelters we try & support. Oh and I got my favorite whisker ticklin milk treats that I LOVE so much. And it was nice out, so I was on the porch with Tigger for a while. So I had a good bird day!

Happy Bird Day Maizy!! Some places will accept the carriers as a donation~ it might be easier than selling them ;)
